proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ Season02 Episode08 Why did pete do this? I don't know.
But last night, he bring home two clients.
It's strange he never did that before.
Whose clients were they? He say yours.
But I think maybe they be no clients.
They go away with him.
But then I go to bathroom and I find pills.
Peter take pills.
He left this.
Please to god let him wake up.
Please.
Please, please Where's my wife? I told you not to come back here drunk.
Where's my goddamn wife? She doesn't want to see you.
Neither does patty.
Get out of my way, pete.
What the hell happened? Pete swallowed a bottle of his wife's meds.
Why? So that he wouldn't have to give us evidence on patty.
We got him to the hospital, but he's in a coma.
What did patty say? She knows about the overdose, but she has no idea why.
We got surveillance in place to monitor the situation.
What's gonna happen if he regains consciousness? We still got leverage on him.
He wakes up, he's got to make a choice.
He either gives us patty or he goes to jail.
So you said on the phone there's an opportunity.
Phil, there's a thing people say when they want you to do something you don't want to do.
What's that? You're gonna thank me someday.
Invest in unr.
Look, we've done a lot of business together over the years.
Have I ever steered you wrong? Dave, I've gone over all of the data, and this merger is a dud.
Grapevine says walter kendrick has assembled a group of private investors, and they're about to invest a significant amount of capital.
A very significant amount.
There's also a conflict of interest here.
And I think the world of your wife.
But the basis for her, uh, shareholder suit was the plunge in unr's stock price.
It's gonna start creeping up, and she's gonna lose this one.
Patty doesn't lose.
The stock will rise, the case will vanish.
We'll see.
Invest in unr, phil.
Someday, you're gonna thank me.
This is where it happened.
I was standing right here.
I was looking that way.
And I turned - This is a key moment in your healing process.
- Yeah.
listen about that.
See, I own all this land, manu.
You know, I could, I could just as easily sell it and be done with it, you know.
I could, I could just put all of this behind me.
But this patch of earth changed my life.
How can I help you, arthur? I want to build a healing center right on this very spot, and I want you to run it for me.
- A healing center? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, see, we could, uh, you know, we could do the, that holotropic, uh, breathing thing.
We could do that over here.
And then we could have, uh, the drumming circle right in this area.
And then out back, you could have stables for the, - uh, you know, that thing they do with the horses.
- Equine therapy.
Yes, exactly.
It'll be like one-stop shopping for all the shit that we've been doing together.
What do you think? Hey, wait, wait, wait, look.
I want to show you this.
This is the bullet that he shot me with.
I mean, they had to tweeze that out of my kidney.
Well, we're gonna put it right down here.
I'm gonna bury this.
there.
Consider that the cornerstone of-of this whole place.
Why are you looking skeptical? Every gesture has two sides.
One faces the sun, the other darkness.
No, I-I know that.
I know.
As part of your ongoing journey, building a healing center is an excellent idea.
- But if it's a shortcut to peace, arthur - No, no, no, no, no, it's not, it's not.
Listen to me, listen.
My entire life, I've pursued the wrong things, and I've been, I've been shackled to negativity.
I've been guarded, I've been competitive and calculating-- all that stuff that we talk about.
See, this this could be my new beginning.
Then you have my blessing.
Thank you, manu.
Mrs.
Mckee.
Patrick is that you? I thought you went away.
I came back when i heard pete was in the hospital.
- Yeah.
- What happened? There's trouble for peter.
Someone rat on him.
Who? I don't know, but the men from government, they come.
They want information.
Information about what? His boss.
I must go.
Where are you going? I go to store to get licorice for peter.
Uh, you want a lift? I'll take you.
Uh, yeah, thank you, patrick.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I saw the light on.
It's all right.
Come in, sit.
How's uncle pete doing? He's still unconscious.
Have I ever told you about my father? No.
He was A complicated man.
Brilliant, I think, but frustrated, angry, never accomplished what he wanted to, and then one day he just picked up and left.
That's when pete stepped in.
He was your mother's brother, right? Her screwup brother.
He was always in trouble, in and out of jail.
But he took care of us.
You warned me that this would happen.
When the fbi came to you, and you turned them down, then they went after pete.
I think he was protecting me.
Does pete have anything incriminating on you? If he wakes up, patty, the feds could still flip him.
What are we gonna do? The only thing we can do-- wait.
Mr.
Frobisher.
For christ's sake.
Who are you? He works for me.
So now you bring someone along to intimidate me? No, he has information.
He's been keeping an eye on ellen parsons.
Well, wh-what the hell for? She believes you're behind her fianc? s murder.
You, you come here and talk this kind of crap? Hey, asshole, you want to ignore what I've got to say, fine, go ahead.
- What is this? - Listen to him.
When you were in the hospital, ellen parsons visited you.
She stood at your bedside, deciding whether she wanted you dead.
How could you possibly know that? She told me.
She tells me a lot of things.
You're lucky I've been keeping an eye on her.
But she has been using patty hewes' firm to investigate her fianc? s murder.
I am not gonna let anyone connect that to us, do you understand? You know, I am sick of this shit!***** I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm not gonna tell you this again.
You're gonna drop this lawsuit.
No, I'm not.
If parsons traces this back to either of us, there will be consequences.
Every action has two sides-- one faces the sun, the other, darkness.
And what does that mean? It means I am prepared to take responsibility, but you, you are still stuck in the past.
I'm not.
I'm free.
Today, I am I-I walk without fear.
Thanks for meeting me.
I just wanted to make sure there was a friendly face.
Listen, it'll be good for me, too.
Actually, I haven't been coming as much as I should.
Ellen, welcome back.
Have a seat.
David sent me a wedding gift.
It was sent to our old apartment.
And what was the gift? I don't know.
I haven't opened it.
I can'T.
Why not? Maybe I'm protecting myself.
How so? I don't want to be reminded of the past.
I'm trying to move on.
- I don't think so.
- Wes.
No, it's okay.
What were you gonna say? That gift, whatever it is it's your last piece of david.
Once you open it, it's over.
There'll be nothing left.
But if you don't, you'll always have one more moment with him to look forward to.
Isn't that the opposite of moving on? What did the doctors say? It's possible pete will never wake up.
I know you have a lot on your mind right now, but, I've gotten some new information on unr.
Yes? Apparently, they're expecting an influx of capital, and the word is it's gonna turn the stock around.
Who would put up the capital? Everyone knows it's a bad merger.
Last week, unr's lead counsel was in a courtroom in new jersey defending a prostitute on drug charges.
Don't tell me she was schtupping walter kendrick? No, she was with an energy trader finn garrety.
Now, apparently, garrety devises formulas for speculating on energy futures.
And you think he might have something to do with unr's new capital? Kendrick could be using him to manipulate the energy market; hold back supply, drive up the price-- they'd make a killing and get the capital they need.
Susie? Ms.
Samble? Who are you? Hopefully, a friend, but that will be up to you.
I'm sorry, I don't know you.
Have we had a date before? No, no.
Well, if you want to book my time, please go to the web site.
Actually, I'd like a couple of minutes to ask you a question about finn garrety.
Should that name mean something? I hope so.
You were arrested with him a couple of weeks ago when he was up in your hotel room.
What do you want? How do you know claire maddox? I don'T.
Look, lonnie, I know your johns want you to lie to them, but I want honest intercourse.
Who are you? I'm an attorney who knows that if a hooker gets a corporate litigator to defend her on cocaine charges, it ain't because she's a good lay.
Go screw yourself.
I may have to, due to our obvious lack of chemistry.
I'm trying to help you here, lonnie.
You've let some very dangerous people into your life.
I'm gonna prosecute them.
Either you can talk to me, or I'm gonna take you down with them.
Here'S here's my cell.
I'd hate to see you end up on the wrong side of this thing.
Yeah, look, I want to take a position in unr.
No, long.
I'm looking to buy.
I'm watching it right now.
I think it's due for a turnaround.
And do me a favor-- run this through the subsidiary fund.
I want to keep this quiet.
All right.
I swear, you should have seen the size of this guy i laid out.
Bow! One punch.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
Where you been, patrick? - What happened, mikey? - What happened when? I heard pete was set up; who was it? Timmy.
Timmy mcadams! We get pinched selling bootlegs.
The feds talk to us.
Next thing I know, they grab up pete.
I'm worried, patrick.
Pete could turn us all in.
Shut your mouth.
Pete would never do that.
Nurse! Hello, pete.
You remember me? Where's the other asshole? He's, uh out in the waiting room, talking to your lovely wife.
God, I wish I wish they'd fed me through a tube.
I am so sick of all that chewing.
You've got something to say to me, say it.
Well we know you have evidence on patty.
Why else would you try to off yourself? Your wife was devastated by your little stunt.
If you were gone, how long do you think she would make it without you? Go to hell.
I guess we're back where we started.
What's it gonna be, pete? Your wife or patty hewes? You are going to a prison hospital.
You got to decide, pete.
Get me a bedpan.
I got to take a shit.
All right, that's right.
You do what daddy tells you.
What are you trading? Baby, I told you, this is work, this is pleasure.
There's another deal done.
Undress me.
Finn, yesterday a guy came up to me and started asking questions about you.
What guy? - He didn't give a name.
- What guy? He said he was an attorney.
Now he's an attorney? An attorney for who? - He didn't say.
- What did you tell him about me? - Nothing.
- What did you tell him about me? Nothing! What do i even know about you? Look, if you're if you're lying to me, you're dead.
All right, don't talk to him ever again.
I won'T.
I'm sorry I said that thing about you being dead.
All right, now undress me.
Am I interrupting? There is no interruption.
Though arthur's not here.
I read your book.
That rabbit reminds me of a story you told.
Oh, yes? A monkey, an otter, a jackal and a rabbit each decide to practice charity.
A blind man comes along begging for food.
So the monkey gathers fruit for him, the otter gathers fish And the rabbit, only able to gather grass, makes the ultimate sacrifice.
He throws himself on the fire so the old man's hunger may be sated.
And when the blind man sits down to eat, the jackal slits his throat and takes the bounty for himself.
That is not the ending.
No? Can I hold him? Why have you come? Long before you were arthur's teacher he sought my guidance.
I want you to tell him that he is still my pupil.
My lessons are not finished.
What did they arrest you for? They witnessed me receiving a payoff.
They flipped one of my boys.
He told them everything.
The feds have got me by the balls.
You promised me you'd stop.
Why, pete? It's just well, you know me, patty.
I really screwed things up for you.
I failed you worse than your old man.
Don't say that.
If I wasn't such a goddamn screwup, I would have taken more pills and finished the job right.
Why didn't you come to me? We can fight the feds in court.
They've got enough on me to put me away for the rest of my life.
What did the feds ask you for? Everything I've got on you.
If I don't give them enough to put you in jail, they're putting me there.
The man with the beard came to see me.
He is not your friend.
What'd he want? Remember, arthur, whatever he may do to your physical embodiment, he cannot touch your soul.
My physical embodiment? Did he threaten me? I believe he wished me to convey that message, yes.
I've begun to think, perhaps, you have set these events in motion.
Yes, I did.
Are there authorities to which you can appeal? No, no, no, i can't go to the police.
Arthur, you have invited a jackal into your life.
And it is the jackal's nature to hunt until he has made his kill.
What's that supposed to mean? It means you have a choice-- you must either spend the rest of your life running from this man or turn yourself in and face the repercussions of your past.
That's my choice? I'm sure your decision will be well considered.
Yeah, I need to see you.
Right away.
Oh, god! Oh, god! you are y! Bad h! More! Mo! Go, d! Oh, you stallion! oh, god, yes! oh, god.
oh, god.
Oh, yes.
oh, you just keep getting better and better.
Get off, will you? Yeah.
I'll do it.
- You have a daughter to think about.
- Get out of my way! - One step closer, and I'll clock you.
- Stop it! Both of you, stop it! Get out, pete.
Let me talk to my husband.
Hey, there, patty.
Hey, there.
Can I ask you something? Why did you stick around? When? When dad took off.
You didn't owe us anything.
You could've left, too.
No responsibility, no debts.
I know you never wanted a family.
Why did you take care of us? I don't know.
You give them whatever you need to.
- No.
- Yes.
What do you think? I don't buy it.
There's no way she'll let him talk.
I had one thing on her, and she tried to kill me.
Can you imagine what pete knows? Save yourself.
All right.
I'll give you what you want.
Good.
I'll drop the suit.
And the funds I need? Same arrangement as before.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
Well, you know how to contact me.
Lonnie.
You ready to talk? Did I mention the woman who was murdered because her husband wouldn't play ball? I'm scared of finn.
What can you tell me about him? He's got money everywhere.
I don't understand any of it, but he's got companies hidden in companies.
He plays markets all over the world.
What else? If I talk to you, i need protection.
Well, I can provide that.
Does finn know a guy by the name of walter kendrick? I-I don't know.
Well, can you try to find out? I'll see what I can do.
Keep it.
When the time comes, I'll let you know what I want.
Frobisher's dropped out of the case.
Why? He said all the media attention was interfering with his path to spirituality.
Of course it is.
But we got what we needed.
Dozens of plaintiffs jumping on board, all having sold their shares at rock bottom.
Sounds like a full-fledged class action.
Any progress with lonnie samble? I think she's almost ready to talk.
Good.
How you feeling? What are you doing here? I told you to get out of town.
You've got to go.
No one can see us here together.
Is it because of what we did for your boss? No, it has nothing to do with you.
Stefania said the feds want you to give them information.
- Who is that guy? - I don't know.
- You don't recognize his voice? - No.
If I don't, I go to prison.
Get in there and see if you can id him.
What are you gonna do? This is my problem.
You have to go, now.
You're gonna have to give the feds something big to keep you out of jail.
You're safe, patrick.
Whatever I decide, I won't tell them about you.
- Need anything before I go? - No.
I'm fine.
Listen, this is gonna mean good-bye, patrick.
You've got to get out of town for good.
Hi, there.
Take care, pete.
Oh, my god.
- This is patty.
- It's me.
Patty, I called the hospital to check in on pete.
I'm afraid I have some bad news.
When? Mikey, come get me.
- Let's go before patty hewes finds out.
- Are we safe? Pete mckee won't be talking to anyone.
Hey, there, patty.
How about we get you some licorice? Okay, uncle pete.
****** Mrs.
Mckee.
I found something in peter's closet that has your name.
Actually I take that back.
You should be scared.
You should be terrified.
Ellen, don'T.
It's not who you are.
You're right.
You know me too well.
I would never use this.
It's not even loaded.
So it's just the two of us.
Face-to-face.
Just the two of us.
