Sequestered (2014) s01e08 Episode Script

Oi.
You're in my office.
What have you done with your life to deserve this space more than I? Are you planning on operating a business from here? To support your wife and children? Your poor elderly parents? Or have you always been bad ever since the doctor pulled you from your mother's crack? I don't believe we've met.
I'm Governor Bennett.
As Governor, I like to know the names of the people that visit my state.
Especially when they are, uh, involved in the murder of my son, so who are you? I know that you work for Victor Hally.
What I don't know is where he is.
So that's why you're hanging around.
You should probably make this easy on yourself and just tell me where he is.
Wait.
Who are we talking about again? Unh! Ha, ha, ha.
Answer him.
Brilliant.
The dog speaks.
Where is Victor Hally? I'm s Ah, the name doesn't ring a bell.
Is he an ex-lover of yours? This is gonna be much easier for you if you're polite to the Governor.
I'm sorry.
Is he an ex-lover, Mr.
Governor? We know that he's here.
We found his papers on a ship from Johannesburg.
It's only a matter of time before we find him, with or without your help.
The question is, how much pain are you willing to endure for him? My guess is quite a lot.
Wilson disagrees, we have a little wager on it.
He doesn't have faith in people like I do.
And he is determined to prove me wrong.
I'm gonna ask you one last time.
Where's Victor? I'm sorry, sir.
I just don't think she's gonna be very cooperative.
Yet.
That's okay.
I'll leave you two to it.
Mr.
Ferman, you have to sign these papers.
Your father's papers.
- Thank you.
Sorry, Mr.
Ferman.
Oh, my God.
Malcolm.
Would you please give us a minute? Mrs.
Bennett, I don't think I'm I'll be fine.
I'll be right outside.
Please.
Well How are you holding up? I-I'm fine.
- And your family? Grace? Lucas? - They're okay.
I mean, uh It's hard on them.
Especially Lucas.
Tried explaining everything to him? He won't see me.
Kids at school are giving him a hard time because of me, so He's so young.
I'm sure none of this makes any sense to him.
At least your wife is still standing behind you.
Mrs.
Bennett, I really appreciate the visit, but, um, why are you here? I I just My mind has been going to a lot of strange places lately.
With the media and, uh, the opinions being thrown at me from every direction, I just I needed to see the truth with my own eyes.
I mean, you were with us for so long.
I was sure I knew you.
I Malcolm, I I trusted you.
And then all of this happened, and I I just ignored all of that.
And now after seeing you again, I I just don't know why.
I forgot who you are.
I just, um I just want you to know that I would never have hurt Nicholas.
I I I loved him.
And, um I I just want you to know that, okay? I do.
I do.
Oh, good morning, Seth.
- What? Well, I said, "Good morning.
" Anna, you're not gonna convince me to vote guilty, so just save your breath, okay? Seth, I'm not.
I All I want to Hey, let me show you something Vernon just taught me.
Talk to the hand, okay? Prick.
Don't bring anyone else into this.
They'll just get hurt.
There you are.
I called you a million times.
I was worried.
I even tried to get on an earlier flight, but they were all booked.
Danny? My dad died.
Oh, my God.
Danny.
What happened? A car accident, I don't really know.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
I can't even believe it.
I wish I'd been here with you.
You were just here all alone.
God, I'm such a bitch.
I just came in and starting nagging at you about nothing.
Did you ever find your necklace? What? No, I haven't.
I'm sorry.
Just figured since I gave it to you, you could maybe bother to give enough of a shit not to leave it at Pritchard's.
Danny What are you doing? I don't know what I'm doing, but I know what I don't wanna do anymore, and it's this.
You should go.
- What? You need to go.
Okay, I don't know what you heard, but you have to give me a second to explain I don't need a second.
I've made up my mind, and I need you to get the fuck out of my house.
Can I ask you why you're doing this? It's a job, and I'm getting paid.
It's that simple.
And, um Are you gonna kill me? It depends on your sister.
And whether she can get the entire jury to vote guilty? Something like that.
Are you the one who killed Nicholas Bennett? You hungry? Mrs.
Bennett.
- Elizabeth, right? That's right.
May I? Sure.
What a coincidence seeing you here.
How are you doing? - Well, it's been eight days.
I know.
It is a long time deliberating, but the D.
A.
and I have faith.
The jury will find justice for your son.
- Thank you.
You know, I have to confess, this isn't exactly a coincidence.
No? Your office told me that you often take lunch in the park.
I wanted to ask you a favor.
After the trial, the jury's gonna talk to the press.
I I don't know if you saw that interview the other day I did.
- Well, then, you know some reporters can be rather bullish with our family.
I would just like to be prepared if that happens.
In case one of the jurors says something unpleasant about us.
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Bennett, what are you asking me? Well, I know that you do ample research on the jurors as you're selecting them.
- Right.
I was hoping I could get a copy of those reports.
Oh, I see, um Um, we just like to be prepared.
I understand.
It's just a bit of an unorthodox request.
I really should pass it by the D.
A.
first.
Well, it's just that this has really been such a trying time for the Governor and myself, so Okay.
I'll see what I can do.
- Thank you.
Okay, with Kaitlyn on our side, that means we have seven more not guiltys we need to change.
Marisa, Vernon, Rufang, Yvonne, Stone, Ramesh, and Seth.
Do we need to talk about your approach? Seth is tough, okay? I was at a disadvantage.
Plus I'm not the most popular person here.
I'll give you that.
But I just want to remind you that a little charm goes a long way.
Maybe a hint of the old Anna, before all this happened.
And maybe a smile, huh? Point taken.
- All right.
Okay, now we got a handle on this.
What's the plan? Well, I'm I'm not concerned about Marisa.
She just wants to go home.
She'll flip once the tide turns, but the rest of them It's becoming apparent that straightforward logic will never work.
Yeah, it couldn't be any clearer after seven days.
Well, everyone's exhausted from the case.
So we won't talk about it.
We'll appeal to each of them alone.
On a personal level.
- Did you really hide money from your wife? I sure did.
That woman can spend money like water, boy.
Ha, ha.
- You just have no idea.
And win them over by talking about anything but the case.
We're lobbying them, but the way politicians do business, in the corridors outside the great hall.
We'll tick them off one by one.
Until we've brought them all over to our side.
That's ten for guilty.
Not guilty? Two.
We are so close.
It looks like there may be a light at the end of this tunnel.
I can't believe we are actually almost there.
Could be going home tomorrow.
- Ha, hope so.
Though Seth is gonna be a tough nut to crack.
Well, "nut" is certainly the correct word.
Charles.
Can I talk to you for a second? - Sure.
Good night, Charles.
Good night, Anna.
We're only allowed to let jurors receive something if it's a medical emergency.
This came from the hospital.
I'm sorry.
I was required to read it.
Oh, my God.
Congratulations.
We still got my nightly call, right? - Of course.
I got the letter this afternoon.
I called the hospital right away, and they confirmed on the recipient list.
Honey, she could have a new heart any day now.
Charles? I know.
No, it's it's wonderful.
Um, Samantha made you a card.
Did you get it? - Yes, I told you.
Yes, I saw it.
It's It's beautiful.
She worked really hard on that drawing.
She even drew herself in her favorite dress.
Did you see it? The blue one? I see the dress.
This is a gift from God, Charles.
We can't turn it down.
If we do, it might never come our way again.
I understand.
I want you to give Sam a big hug from her daddy, and you tell her she's gonna be better soon.
Darling, I miss you.
- I miss you too.
Bye.
Well, I guess miracles do happen.
Hello? - Huh.
I don't know many lawyers who nap in the middle of the day.
- Yeah, well, I guess now you do.
Huh.
You know what? When I'm willing to help out a friend, the conversation usually goes down like this.
"Oh, Kevin, I know you're the brains behind a multi-billon dollar company and have much, much more important things to do than to help me, but I am eternally grateful that you decided to drop everything and help me sort through my personal shit.
What'd you find? Well, for starters, I searched through your mystery client's reference number that we found in Pritchard's ledger and came up with a whole lot of nothing.
In fact, it's not connected to any bank accounts or really anything else I could find.
But then on a whim I decided to look into Pritchard's phone records and ding, ding, ding.
He started making calls to a brand new number about two weeks after the Bennett kidnapping.
So I traced that number, came up with Johannesburg.
A man named Victor Hally, who, by the way, spent the past 10 years behind bars for gun running.
So, what do you think this dude was talking to your boss about just after the Governor's son was kidnapped? I think you just told me.
What are you doing here? We need to talk.
