Suits LA (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

1
Previously On Suits LA.
My witness lied on the stand
We're gonna lose the murder chargers.
You want me to give you
our client's financial records?
- Nobody's ever gonna know.
- I'll know.
The company on your
list isn't our client anymore.
They left when their lawyer left,
and I've got no loyalty to either one.
- Who's their lawyer?
- Daniel Hardman.
I went to the DA's office
to get this case thrown out,
and I found out they
have another victim.
Okay, yes,
I have threatened
multiple people in my day.
So there's no way of
knowing which one this is?
If I knew, I would sure as
hell tell you who this guy is.
We got him on the RICO charges.
We won't need to get
him on RICO charges.
We don't know for sure that
we have him on the murder.
You can't make a lawyer
testify against his own client.
Yes, he can, if he doesn't know
who he's testifying against.
I found out there was
a second whistleblower
Bowie had threatened.
Now I think that
whistleblower might be dead.
Pellegrini's getting out.
Wouldn't be getting anything
if you hadn't done what you did.
We're gonna take a flight to New York
and make sure that son of a bitch
never sees the light of day.
Mr. Hardman, do you know the defendant?
No, I do not.
And, frankly, I have no
idea what I'm doing here.
You're here because of your expertise
on financial transactions.
I understand that,
but I haven't practiced
in several years.
- My wife's been ill.
- Nevertheless
I would like your interpretation
on a series of transactions
between company A,
company B, and company C.
Company A places funds
with companies B and C,
who perform a
series of hide-the-ball transactions.
Clearly a scheme
designed to launder money.
Are you sure?
As sure as if I'd just
witnessed a bank robbery.
What if I told you these companies were
actually Godden Industries,
Olson Systems, and Arkin Dynamics?
Objection. He's breaking privilege.
He's right. This is outrageous.
I would never testify
against my own clients.
You didn't.
You testified to hypotheticals.
And I'd be willing to bet
that until two seconds ago,
you had no idea
that these companies were controlled
by the defendant.
Let me see those again.
There must be some other explanation.
Mr. Hardman, you can
look at these 1,000 times,
but the jury just saw you realize
who your client really is
and how much that
scares the hell out of you.
Which proves that John Pellegrini
is not just guilty of laundering money.
He is guilty of racketeering
as much as if we had seen him
rob a bank.
And I'd ask if you were in
fear for your life at the moment,
but I don't want you
to perjure yourself.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Mr. Foreman, has the
jury reached a verdict?
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
We find the defendant
guilty on all charges.
Mr. Pellegrini,
would you like to say
anything on your own behalf
prior to me issuing your sentence?
I appreciate that, Your Honor.
I was born into a violent world.
The neighborhood I'm from
I wouldn't wish a place
like that on any child.
You have got to be kidding me.
- Your Honor.
- Mr. Black, interrupt him again,
I'll find you in contempt.
Please continue.
Thank you, Your Honor.
I understand the
prosecutor's frustration.
He only sees the man
that I grew up to be.
His father is a fancy lawyer
that works at a white-shoe firm.
And mine was a loW life crook
who I saw get shot in the head
when I was seven.
There is no way
Mr. Black could ever understand
where I come from.
I never wanted people to fear me.
I only wanted to be respected.
I just didn't know any
other way, Your Honor.
I will I will learn a better way.
I can promise you that.
But before you decide my fate,
I would like to request that my attorney
be allowed to bring something
new to your attention
information that has come to light
about some of Mr. Black's evidence.
Turns out I'm not the only
one who's broken a few rules.
Your Honor, with respect,
what the hell is this?
Your Honor,
we have a witness who
could make the difference
between Mr. Pellegrini
dying in prison or not.
What witness?
One who can prove that you broke the law
to enter evidence against my client.
[DOOR OPENS]
See the money,
wanna stay for your meal ♪
Get another piece
of pie for your wife ♪
Everybody wanna know how it feel ♪
Everybody wanna see what it's like ♪
I'll even eat a bean
pie, I don't mind ♪
Me and Missy is so
busy, busy making money ♪
All right ♪
All step back, I'm 'bout to dance ♪
The greenback boogie ♪
I could have sworn
that we had the same
amount to drink last night.
How is it possible that
you look like you do
and I feel the way I do?
I told you a long time ago
that winners don't greet
the day in sweatpants.
I don't remember you ever saying that.
Winners also don't say
they don't remember things
- that have been said.
- You have too many sayings.
All right, I never said
that, but I am saying it now.
- Those are awful.
- They're Donna's. I win.
- That's not cool.
- Oh.
This is not supposed to be fun.
- You're right.
- I'm right about what?
This is not supposed to be fun.
- We have a job to do.
- We do.
I had an idea about how
we're gonna get Pellegrini
back where he belongs,
but it involves doing some bad things.
What kind of bad things?
Crossing lines, taking risks,
maybe even breaking a few laws.
You did once told me
that sometimes good guys
have to do bad things to
make the bad guys pay.
I did.
That was from a case a long time ago.
We used an idea from
"Mississippi Burning"
to get those guys,
and we're gonna do the exact
same thing to get these guys.
Then let's get to the plane
and put on "Mississippi Burning,"
because I am not going
to let John Pellegrini
spend the rest of his
life outside of prison.
Jesus, you look like hell.
- Did you sleep here?
- I didn't sleep anywhere.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I can't stop thinking
the odds of this woman
dying in a random carjacking
are pretty close to zero.
Yeah.
Not to mention, she was
the second whistleblower.
That means Bowie's off the hook, right?
You think I don't know that?
If he gets out of hot water by
killing the woman because
Stuart, this is not your fault.
You don't know that.
I told Bowie there was
another whistleblower
and four hours later, she's dead.
But we're not even 100% sure
- she was the whistleblower.
- That's part of the problem.
I can't go to my client.
And I sure as hell can't
go to the DA about it.
Why not? I thought you knew that guy.
I do, but we're on
opposite sides of this thing.
I can't just walk up to him
and say, hey, excuse me,
did my client murder the whistleblower
you told me about yesterday?
Excuse me. Stuart?
ADA Adani is here to see you.
[INHALES DEEPLY] Um
put him in the conference room.
Tell him I'm in my weekly meeting.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
- So what are you going to do?
- The only thing I can do
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Pretend like today's any other day.
Are you friends with the
prosecutor, Ted Black?
What does that have to do with anything?
Been on the same
baseball team for years.
Are you friends are not?
Yes, we're friends.
Did you provide
Mr. Black with information
he presented in this courtroom
as having come from public records?
If he says it was in
the public record
It's not what I asked, and he wouldn't
have looked in the public
record if you hadn't told him.
Objection, speculation.
Well, let me speculate some more.
Those companies were
Pearson Hardman clients.
Copies of their files
were made the night
before being presented here.
Now, I can subpoena the visitor's log
at the U.S. Attorney's
Office from that night.
So I ask you under oath, did
you give Mr. Black those files?
They were not Pearson
Hardman clients at the time.
Again, that's not what I asked.
Yes, I gave him the files.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Then I'm forced to vacate the verdict
- for the racketeering charges.
- Your Honor!
Mr. Black, you've done enough.
As for Mr. Pellegrini,
I was going to sentence you to life
with no chance for parole.
But the newly vacated charges,
combined with your testimony,
I'm sentencing you to 25
years, eligible for parole after 15.
[GAVEL BANGS]
[DOOR BUZZING]
Boys, so nice to see you.
But if you were gonna
come all the way out here
to celebrate my freedom,
you could have sprung for some balloons.
It's not a welcoming
committee, you son of a bitch.
It's a warning.
So what, you're gonna tell
me not to run any red lights?
I guess you didn't hear.
I was a model prisoner.
I admitted to my crimes,
and I showed remorse.
The parole board said I'm a changed man.
Well, you might have fooled them,
but you haven't fooled me.
You're an animal, and
you belong in a cage.
It'll be a cold day in hell
before you put me back in there.
You misunderstand.
We are not here to tell you
that you're going back in.
We are here to tell you
that things have changed.
What the hell are you talking about?
Your people aren't as
loyal as you think they are.
Once someone gets the taste of power,
they're not going
back to eating burgers.
I remember you.
You're the one who
crumbled on the stand.
And since your sidekick
over here mentioned burgers,
let me tell you what my
revenge for you is going to be
me living it up out here.
And every time you go out for a steak,
I want you to think about the fact
that I'm having one, too.
As for my family, they
know that daddy's home
and he sits at the head of the table.
[CAR ENGINE REVS]
First of all, I'm not your sidekick.
He said it. It's etched in stone.
More importantly, do
you think that worked?
You bet your ass it did.
'Cause right now he's thinking,
who is it that's gonna betray me?
Well, then let's help whoever that is
come to that conclusion.
I know where to start.
[SIGHS] Your associate said 15 minutes.
It's been an hour.
I have a firm to run, Isaac.
And you showed up
without an appointment.
But as long as you're here,
last night I prepared a subpoena
to question that second whistleblower.
I'd love to let you
question her, Stuart.
Unfortunately, you can't.
- Why not?
- Because she's dead.
But you already knew that,
which is why you kept
me waiting long enough
to write that damn thing.
I am an officer of the court,
and you are questioning my integrity.
You're gonna stand there and tell me
you didn't inform Bowie
about this woman?
How the hell could I? You didn't
even tell me it was a woman.
[CHUCKLES] So that's
how we're going to play it.
What's so funny?
You're right, none of this is funny.
And I'm here for the same reason
that you kept me waiting.
You're a good man, Stuart.
You must feel like you're responsible
for this woman's death,
and as far as I'm concerned,
if you don't do something
about it, you are.
In the meantime, get your shine box,
because this just became
a murder investigation.
[DOOR OPENS]
[SCOFFS, CHUCKLES]
Right on time.
- Heard about Pellegrini?
- Of course I did.
And let me guess.
You two are here with some
stupid plan to put him back in.
It's not stupid.
We're members of a task
force to get one of his guys
- to say Pellegrini ordered Eddie's killing.
- You mean a task force
of two idiots impersonating
government officials?
To be fair, I was not involved
in the formulation of this plan.
So you're saying I'm both idiots?
Teddy, I'm serious.
There are people waiting
to take Pellegrini down
- the second he commits a crime.
- I don't care.
We saw how long that took before.
You don't even have immunity
to offer someone to get them to flip.
Yeah, they flip, and
then I get them immunity.
All right, you do this,
one of two things are gonna happen.
You fail and wind up
with a bullet in your head,
or you succeed and wind
up with a bullet in your head.
We're doing this with or without you.
- Good.
- "Good"?
I just wanted to make
sure you were really ready.
Because if you're looking for someone
to turn on Pellegrini for Eddie,
there's only one guy,
and you're not gonna like it.
No way. He is too low level.
- Not anymore.
- Santoro is now number two.
I don't care.
I'm not giving immunity to that man.
- Teddy.
- You beat Santoro
within an inch of his
life for what he did.
[SCOFFS] I wish I
killed him at the time,
but I didn't.
And that's a good thing
because his is the only way
we're gonna get Pellegrini.
Well, I'm gonna take a
walk before I lose my lunch.
[DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
He'll come around.
So now you know him better than me?
Well, what were you gonna say?
He'll come around.
You're a good man, Kevin.
Ted's lucky to have you.
So you do think I know
him better than you?
No, I'm not saying that.
I don't want you in my office anymore.
[DOOR OPENS]
Mm, about time.
I got an urgent call to come down.
What's going on?
Where did you happen to go
after you left here last night?
Why?
Humor me.
I went home. I watched "Gladiator."
I ate a steak, and I went to bed.
- What does that got to do
- One more question.
When you woke up this morning,
did you happen to read the paper?
What's that?
An article about a murdered woman,
the same woman I told you
about just before you left.
- Okay, what the hell is going on, Stuart?
- What time did the movie start?
- What channel was it on?
- What, you think I did this?
Do you have the trash
from the cooked steak?
Was it a rib eye? Was it a filet?
I didn't even know that it was a woman.
You're gonna tell me
that Janet Fields wasn't
one of the 50 people you intimidated?
Because she's on record saying you did.
Well, I don't care,
because I didn't kill her.
The DA thinks you did,
and your alibi is the legal equivalent
to "my dog ate my homework,"
so you better come up with answers
to all of these questions,
because they're gonna
charge you with murder.
Okay, I wasn't at home, but
I had nothing to do with that!
Why didn't you just tell
me that in the first place?
Because
I was out committing a different crime.
What the hell are you doing here?
You think I don't remember
your old hangouts?
Isn't this the spot where
Kevin beat you to a pulp
in front of, like, 50 people?
Well, maybe you didn't
hear things have changed.
I told Pellegrini that when I saw him.
He said things are gonna go
back to the way that they were.
Daddy's home.
Sits at the head of the table.
What are you doing here?
Justice Department sent
me with a one-time deal.
You admit
that Pellegrini ordered Eddie's killing,
you get immunity.
No way the Justice Department
sends you to make a deal with me
after what I allegedly
did to your sweet brother.
I'm about getting the
guy that gave the order,
not the monkey who pushed the button.
No, I don't believe you.
Don't believe me? Give him a call.
I'll dial the number for you.
I don't need to give anyone
a call, 'cause I'm not a rat.
That's what I thought you'd say.
Just so you know, right
now your old pal Kevin
is taking photos of us looking chummy.
What do you think Pellegrini is
gonna do when he sees them?
Enjoy your slice.
I hope you choke on it.
Hey, how'd it go?
Long story, I'm still trying
to get to the bottom of it.
- I could use your help.
- Yeah. Please.
Bowie says he couldn't
have murdered the woman
because he was busy
breaking into someone's house.
- You got to be kidding me.
- It gets better.
The person's house, Greg Fischer.
- The movie producer?
- The very one.
I need you to get him to
give us the security footage
from his cameras.
I don't understand.
I don't represent him.
You don't.
But he recently changed firms.
Let me guess he signed with Erica.
You know we trade favors,
and you want me to cash one
in to help your scumbag client?
This is more than just trading favors.
And it's not about him. It's about me.
I can't get the image
of Janet Field's lifeless
body out of my head.
- Okay, Stuart
- Damn it, Rick.
If you were me, you
would feel the same way.
I need to know it wasn't Bowie.
[SIGHS]
I'll do it.
But not for Bowie. I'm doing it for you.
Thank you.
Wait a second.
If Bowie was on the footage,
wouldn't Fischer have given
the tapes to the police already?
- No.
- Why not?
Because the last thing
in the world Fischer wants
is for people to know what Bowie took.
Trust me, he'll trade
us one for the other.
This place sure does
bring back a lot of memories.
Yeah, it seems like yesterday
Eddie scolded me about that shot.
You did that just to get
him out of here, didn't you?
- We had things to discuss.
- Mm-hmm.
Well, since we're just waiting
why don't we discuss what
you've been up to these days?
You know what I've been up to.
I'm on a task force.
You don't want to talk about yourself.
- I see not much has changed.
- [CELL PHONES CHIME]
Harvey, it's go time.
Perfect timing.
I got to make a call myself.
Hey, things go south
you send up that bat signal.
Why would I do that? I'm Batman.
Batman doesn't send up the signal.
You want me to let him kill you,
or do you want to send me a signal?
- Okay, you're Batman.
- I thought so.
And you're Robin.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Kevin, I got your message.
Where are you?
Get in.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Please.
You think sending me these
is going to make me believe
that Vinnie Santoro
would ever turn on me?
We both know what happened
before with Billy and Jimmy.
If you don't stop trying
to make it happen again,
what happened to
Billy will happen to you.
In fact, there's nothing stopping me
from doing it right now.
You're only here
because I wanted you here.
I played you like a fiddle,
and you came running.
The FBI is waiting out there right now.
You're bluffing.
Then put a bullet in
my head and find out.
It's not how I want to
send you back to prison,
but it'll do just fine.
You know, all the time
when I was locked up,
there was something
I was dying to tell you.
When Santoro did what he did
to Eddie instead of you,
I was furious.
But then I realized it
was better that way,
because your death would
have been one second of revenge.
But your brother's
that's good for a lifetime.
You know, John, I really
wrestled with the decision
Do I go after the guy
who killed my brother
or should I go after the
guy who gave the order?
But then I realized, it doesn't matter,
because the fun
is watching you turn on each other.
So thanks for bringing up Eddie,
because now
you know how I'm gonna get you.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
- Did you get what we needed?
- Got it, and already sent it.
All right, if Harvey's right,
the rattlesnakes are gonna
start committing suicide.
I don't know about snakes,
but if you were in
there ten more seconds,
I was gonna ram that damn car.
- Were you worried about me?
- Bet your ass I was worried.
Damn near gave me a coronary.
I thought you were taking
blood-pressure medication.
Ah, you know, I'm
trying to stay off of it.
I'm trying to take a
more holistic approach.
With pastrami sandwiches
morning, noon, and night?
Look, man, I'm trying to help you here.
Note to self, Kevin's
touchy about his deli meats.
Here comes your boy.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were gonna take off.
You think I was gonna
let you two have all the fun
- being in danger and all?
- Kevin and I handled it.
There still could be
danger. You don't know.
This isn't about danger.
You have FOMO.
- I have what, now?
- Fear of missing out.
What are you, a thousand?
I could be a million,
and I'd still knock you out.
Please.
I think he was worried about us.
You can't prove that.
You know, a real man would admit
when he's worried about the
wellbeing of two other men.
Okay, I admit It
I was worried about Ted
and another completely different man.
- I don't like you.
- Okay, fun time is over.
I want all of us to
remember why we are here.
Harvey, tomorrow morning I
want you to go see your guy.
Kevin, you know what you have to do.
We are gonna meet
at your office at 9:00.
Erica, what are you doing here?
You want this?
Rick doesn't owe me. You do.
- He told you.
- I saw the footage.
I know it was Bowie, and I
know you're representing him.
Wasn't that hard to put together.
And, truthfully, I've been
waiting for a day like this
- for a very long time.
- What do you want for it?
- You know what I want.
- No, I'm not doing it.
Then I'm not giving you
the goddamn footage.
Bowie is going to air
your client's dirty laundry
in public if you don't
give me that thing.
I don't care.
You have a legal obligation
to present this offer to him.
What are you gonna do if I don't?
Sue me while your client rots in prison?
You have something of mine,
and I'm here to take it back.
I won it fair and square.
You took advantage of
me as a new associate.
You saw something you wanted,
you knew how much it mattered to me,
yet you didn't give a damn,
and now it's time to pay the piper.
Okay, I'll give it back.
When?
- Tomorrow.
- No. Now.
I don't wear it on a
chain around my neck.
I have to go home and get it.
Then you can have this
when your ass gets back.
Tell me that you got immunity.
Please. You think I wouldn't
come through for you?
Harvey, I don't have the bandwidth,
for answers like that this morning.
- Sorry, yes, I did.
- Okay.
- I got what you needed.
- Kevin just texted.
Everything is set. Let's head on in.
What the hell do you think you're doing
sending me pictures
of you and Pellegrini?
He didn't send anything.
I did, because I'm the
one who's giving immunity
for whoever caves first.
You think I was born yesterday?
You staged these pictures
of you and Pellegrini
to make me think he's taking
a deal, but he's not a rat.
So stop messing with me,
or you're gonna regret it.
- You threatening me?
- Damn right I am.
Okay, you're right he's not a rat.
- I know.
- Hey, just, uh, one thing.
I talked to John,
reminded him that Billy flipped,
Jimmy flipped, and then I asked him,
was he willing to gamble
with the rest of his life
that you wouldn't flip, too?
So you're right Pellegrini,
he won't rat on you.
He'll just do what he's
done to 100 other people
he once called family.
So in case it hasn't sunk in yet,
whether you take our deal or not,
one of you is flipping,
or one of you is dying.
And that's the only
way that this thing ends.
Me and John have been
loyal to each other for years,
and there's nothing you can
do that's gonna change that.
Hey, Vinnie, Vinnie, you work with us,
we'll get you any deal that you want.
I knew it. [SCOFFS]
You don't even really believe
John would ever turn on me.
Get the hell out of my face.
Listen, you're making a mistake
[CAR ALARMS BLARING]
You wanted to see me?
I wanted to hear directly from you
why the hell you pulled
that crap in the Pellegrini trial.
You know why.
Ted?
You had him on murder.
You got greedy because
he killed your witness,
and now we're lucky they
didn't vacate all the charges
and Pellegrini's going away at all.
He's not going away
because we were lucky.
He's going away because I did something
that nobody else in this
office ever could have.
When you begged me to stay on this case,
you convinced me you
were the man for the job.
Turns out, you might be the
one that costs me my career.
What are you talking about?
You crossed that line, it came out,
and now my integrity
is being questioned.
I'm sorry for that, John.
But if you getting fired
is the price of putting
that monster away forever,
I take that deal.
You selfish son of a bitch.
You're the one that's
worried about your job.
I'm not worried about me.
I'm worried about this office!
Because people need to
believe the Justice Department
is about justice!
I'm about putting a menace away
for as long as possible,
which is what I did.
Well, if you hadn't crossed that line,
I might have been able
to salvage your career.
And it's too bad,
because when I met you,
I thought one day you could be
Attorney General of the United States.
And I thought that you'd be
somebody I looked up to
not somebody that needs me to win a case
to save my career.
[DOOR OPENS]
Yep. All right, Joe. Thanks.
Be in touch.
All right, Santoro's
stable in the hospital.
I got two of my old agents guarding him
in case Pellegrini gets
wind of what happened.
Speaking of what happened,
how much explosive did you put in there?
You wanted it to be convincing.
That's how they do it.
And before you say another
word, it got us Santoro.
My job is done.
Okay. Harvey, you're up.
We take Santoro to your guy Cahill,
and we put this to bed.
Look, about that
You got to be kidding me.
[SCOFFS] What do you want me to say?
It's not under Cahill's jurisdiction.
He's not giving Santoro immunity.
You said you came through.
I did that, because
you needed to believe
what we were telling Santoro.
But we don't have immunity.
Santoro is not an idiot.
So
what are we gonna do?
Teddy, you know what you have to do.
No way. He'll never go for it.
Look, I told you once
before, I'll tell you again,
you make him go for it.
[DOOR OPENS]
Place looks the same.
Now it makes sense.
What do you mean?
A black Escalade
belonging to Vinnie Santoro
exploded this morning.
We thought it was Pellegrini,
but the person who did it
is standing right in front of me.
I wish I knew what you
were talking about, but I don't.
Then what the hell are you
doing back here after 15 years?
I was wrong to go after
you the way that I did.
I shouldn't have crossed that line,
and I shouldn't have damaged
the department's reputation.
- What's this?
- [SIGHS]
That is an affidavit from
Vinnie Santoro offering proof
that Pellegrini was
responsible for another murder
in exchange for a WITSEC deal with
immunity.
All right, let me
let me get this straight.
You apologize out of
one side of your mouth,
and then you break a
law to turn a witness?
John, if you want to prosecute me
for blowing up an empty car
I should prosecute you.
Do you want me to say it? I'll say it.
You were right to let me go.
I'm not meant for this.
But I got the job done back then.
And I paid for it
more than anyone.
Ted, I know you did.
Just look at the affidavit, please.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
You got him to admit
they're the ones who killed Eddie?
You do this, the department
does nothing wrong,
and the two of them
never commit another crime
for the rest of their lives.
Ted, this means
Pellegrini is the only one
who really pays for your brother.
I know.
Unless
You do me one big favor.
Tell me where you're
putting Santoro in WITSEC.
Got your message.
What did I do now? Shoot the Pope?
For a man I'm working my
ass off to get out of a murder,
you don't seem very grateful.
Because you don't seem
to have your heart in it.
You're not paying me for my heart.
You're paying me for my skills.
I got what you needed.
Fischer turned over the footage.
And once again, you sound disappointed.
What did I just say?
You hired me because I get the job done.
And if my tone hurts your feelings
Okay, I think I've had enough
of your high horse.
I did a little digging myself.
You've gotten murderers
off a dozen times.
I have no problem defending
men guilty of murder.
I have a problem
when I think it's my fault.
I knew it.
Even with that footage,
you still think I did it.
You could have hired
someone else to kill Janet Fields.
- You know it.
- Well, I didn't.
What's this?
Something I thought I'd
never show another soul.
That is a list of all the
people I have done jobs for
over the years.
Call anyone you want.
There is a line I won't cross,
no matter how much they offer.
Now, they won't fully
come out and say it,
but you will know they offered.
Why is it so important I believe you?
Because I'm a human being, Stuart.
And whether you understand it or not,
I would never take another life.
What are you smiling about?
- What do you think?
- [DOOR CLOSES]
I could have died.
But I walked away from that bomb
with only a few bruises
and a dislocated shoulder.
And now I got myself a deal,
and Pellegrini is going away.
Let me catch you up on a few details
that you might have missed.
Pellegrini didn't set
off that bomb I did.
We set you up.
You signed your life away,
and you were too stupid to see it.
Since we're going over details,
way back when,
when I realized I got the wrong guy,
I loved it.
And I loved watching your
brother get blown to bits.
I thought you might say that.
I asked them to tell me
where they're sending
you in witness protection.
Why? [CHUCKLES]
You want to visit? [CHUCKLES]
- Bring me some deli?
- [LAUGHTER]
No.
No, I'm not gonna visit you.
But I might send some of your friends.
Uh-uh.
You do that, you'd end
up in prison yourself.
Here's the thing, Vinnie
I might be on my deathbed,
or I might just stop
caring what happens to me
and then send some
of Pellegrini's people
your way.
So you are going to spend
the rest of your life
looking over your shoulder.
[GRUNTS, SEETHING]
Son of a bitch.
Let me get this straight
you squeezed his shoulder,
and then you punched it?
Right where it was dislocated.
- That's a nice touch.
- Not only that
I told him I knew where
they were sending him.
He's not gonna get a good night's sleep
for the rest of his life.
Do you know where they're sending him?
No. John didn't tell me, but
Santoro doesn't know that.
What?
Nothing. I just taught you well.
Taught me what?
How to fold on the stand?
You do realize that the whole plan
we just pulled off was my idea?
No, not the
punching-in-the-shoulder part.
That was my part. I win.
Ted, I've been meaning
to tell you something,
and I know it's not the same, but
I lost my brother to
cancer a few years ago.
I'm sorry, Harvey.
Does it get any easier?
Depends on the day.
It depends on the day.
But if you ever need another brother
Ted, I appreciate that.
But right now I think
Reynolds got that spot.
- You're an idiot.
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]
Ah. All right, I got to go.
Someone sending out the bat signal?
- Yeah, something like that.
- Harvey, come on.
I can see it's your son.
- What's his name?
- I've told you, haven't I?
No, you haven't told me.
Harvey, come on.
Ted.
His name is Ted.
- Really?
- No. It's not.
- Are you kidding me?
- I gotta go!
- It's Kevin.
- It's not Kevin!
I always liked him better.
It's totally Ted.
It's nice here, isn't it?
It is.
Is it okay now, even though I'm gone?
It's better than it was, Eddie.
Now I'm ready to go home.
I think we have one more thing to do.
Yeah, I think you're right.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
I see you've made
yourself right at home.
I feel at home.
In fact, if I just had my guitar
What are you doing here, Rick?
I don't know, just
you gave Fischer his sex tape back,
and it got me thinking
whatever happened to our sex tape?
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, Ricky, wouldn't you like to know?
What does that mean?
It means I deleted it.
- Or did I?
- Did you?
Yes.
No.
Maybe.
This isn't fun anymore.
That's because you came
here trying to flirt with me
in the middle of my work day.
That's a crime?
A crime would be if
that tape ever went wide
and people saw you do
that thing you're so proud of.
I am proud of it.
You should be proud
that you were a part of it.
[LAUGHTER]
Maybe, but the tape doesn't show that.
- Mine does.
- Wait, what?
Yeah.
You turned your camera
on, I turned my camera on.
- I told you that.
- I was distracted.
Oh, I know. That's what my tape shows.
You don't really have a tape, do you?
In here, I do.
- I know what this is.
- What's that?
You're here because you
want to make another one.
Sequels often outperform the original.
It'll just be a money grab for me.
Oh, really? So you're
saying I could pay you?
Get the hell out of my office.
Hey, all I'm saying is, we
wouldn't have to recast.
Oh, my God.
I noticed you got your
mom's sculpture back.
- I thought it was stolen.
- Yeah, um,
turns out I just misplaced it.
If you want, we could use it
in the background of our seq
I'm calling security.
Why, you want to see me in handcuffs?
[GIGGLES]
Ha!
What are you doing here, Isaac?
I'm here as a courtesy, to
tell you we're going to arrest
your client for murder.
I have Bowie's DNA
all over Janet Fields' car.
Of course it's all over her car.
He went to intimidate her.
He did the same thing to Anne Jones.
His DNA is on her
car, and she's still alive.
And you are more than welcome
to make that argument in court.
Isaac, I get that this guy's
gotten under your skin,
but you need to let it go.
I'm not letting anything go.
Neither are you.
Your DNA won't hold up.
His alibi is rock-solid, and I have it.
Then give it to me.
I'm the man's lawyer.
I shouldn't have even told you that.
But as your friend, I'm telling you
you'll look like an idiot
if you bring charges.
So what you're saying is, he
got someone else to kill her?
No, I'm not saying that.
Off the record, you really
think he didn't do this?
Off the record
the odds of him getting
someone else to do it that fast
are pretty damn low.
Either way, if you arrest
him on the basis of this DNA,
I'm going to get the case thrown out.
Well, it's too late for that.
What are you talking about?
I told you this was a courtesy.
We arrested him ten minutes
before I walked in here.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[FOOTSTEPS DEPARTING, DOOR OPENS]
[CHUCKLES]
I was wondering if you
was gonna say goodbye
or just skedaddle yourself back home.
- "Skedaddle."
- You heard me.
Yeah. I was gonna go home,
but then I remembered I needed your help
with a missing persons case.
Guy skipped town.
Everybody wants him back.
Got a description?
Stubborn SOB, right around your height.
Arms slightly smaller than mine.
[LAUGHS] Doesn't ring any bells.
Kevin, I know that this office
is your connection to your father.
I'm happy to take care of the
lease for as long as you want.
- You can come back whenever you want.
- Ted
I'm not looking to hire
you as an employee.
I'm looking to contract the services
of Kevin Dillon and
Son Detective Agency.
I really loved having you out there.
Ted, whatever happens,
I I really appreciate that offer.
You know, it means a lot.
I was kidding.
We don't have any space.
I just stopped by this dump
to tell you what a loser you are.
[CHUCKLES]
Get out of my office.
My man.
[GRUNTS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[GRUNTS]
[DISTANT DOG BARKING]
Where have you been?
Missed the last two
practices. I thought you quit.
I thought I'd give you some space.
You haven't returned one call
since they put me on the stand.
I didn't return your call, Harvey,
because I didn't want to hear you say
you didn't have a choice.
You were there. Saperstein had me.
I perjure myself, the
truth comes out anyway.
The reason you didn't call me
is because you thought you failed.
But the truth is, you
swung for the fences,
and you still got a triple.
I didn't want a triple,
and 15 to 25 isn't life.
Look, you don't want to
share the field, say the word.
I'll leave.
If you leave
- who's gonna play shortstop?
- Good.
Then I got a present for you.
I sneaked a peek at their lineup.
- Guess who's up first.
- Reynolds.
Christmas came early.
Hit him with a pitch, steal his car,
sleep with his girlfriend,
do whatever you want.
Nobody's gonna put us on the stand
and make us admit
that we did it on purpose.
- Too soon.
- Maybe.
Thanks, Harvey.
Go get 'em, Batman.
You two jackasses gonna wrap this up
or start making out? It's
getting late. One or the other.
You talking to me?
I don't see anyone
else out here, hair gel.
You know, I gotta say,
I know he's your boy,
but I am not a fan.
You do put an awful lot
of product in your hair.
You can make fun all you want.
Everyone I know says it looks great.
They're lying.
I'm sorry for your barber.
I'm sorry for you for
walking out the barbershop
looking like that that's not right.
That's not right on us as a people.
That's not funny.
- They're lying.
- They're lying.
[LAUGHTER]
