Damages s02e12 Episode Script

Previously on damages: Patty's husband is having an affair.
She's a senior financial analyst with the london branch of phil's firm.
Invest in unr, phil.
I want to take a position in unr.
The bureau's putting together a case we'll want patty to take.
We'll use you to monitor it from the inside.
Would just help so much if i could get a little extra.
I think we can manage that.
He's going to walk.
Did you hear what happened with tom's plaintiff? She wanted a payoff.
Tom turned her down.
Our firm was hired to do toxicity studies on aracite.
- Is it toxic? - Extremely.
Did ultima national resources doctor the results? Unr doctored nothing.
The results are clean.
Whatever happened that night in your house with your wife is over.
Mr.
Kendrick just wanted you to know that the first wire transfer went through.
It's about daniel purcell.
He wants to set things right.
Kendrick is using an energy trader to manipulate the energy market.
Someone sure has been using the navigation system a lot.
Could they be transferring information to the energy trader using the gps? Parsons knows too much.
Take her out.
Or I call your old lieutenant.
I tell him what I know.
And I send you to prison for life.
My buddy-- he's got a cabin upstate.
We could go this weekend.
Where are grandma and grandpa? They went out for orange juice.
I'm gonna take taylor for a walk, okay? All right.
But just stay in the yard.
And make sure you wear a scarf.
- Come on.
- I'll call you in for breakfast.
Give me the stick.
Come on! Come on! The stick.
Ready? Taylor, come on! Taylor? what do you smell? ****** Look what he dug up this time.
what is this? ****** You have any idea what it could be? No.
Probably belonged to the people who lived here before us.
Come on.
Breakfast is ready.
proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ Season02 Episode12 Dad, this is walter.
He came by to talk to you.
Hey, there, danny.
Erica, go inside.
- Why? - I said go inside.
Tell that joke at school.
Your friends will love it.
Terrific kid.
What you did to claire maddox was unforgivable.
She tried to oust me from my own company.
I didn't have much of a choice.
By the way, I've always How is she in bed? I have nothing to say to you, asshole.
Get off my property.
We had a deal, danny.
And I held up my end of it.
I perjured myself.
I lied to ferc.
You got your merger.
Yeah, but then you shot your mouth off to claire maddox.
You're killing people in west virginia.
That water is toxic.
People get killed all the time, danny.
Just look at your wife.
I want you to leave.
Now's not the time to start feeling guilty.
You want redemption? Go to church.
Otherwise, quit your whining and keep your mouth shut.
It was a real pleasure to meet erica.
I should tell you, miss parsons, a meeting like this is rather unusual.
Ms.
Hewes is grateful, your honor.
What exactly are you asking me for? Reassurance.
What kind of reassurance? Ms.
Hewes is concerned the defense may object to some of our key evidence.
She'd like to avoid any admissibility issues.
I see.
Based on past transactions and mutual concerns, ms.
Hewes is prepared to extend herself should the need arise.
I'm sure you're aware that, uh, that kind of request is highly unethical.
Well, let patty know I'm flexible.
Thank you.
Your honor.
Here's a list of the gps coordinates from the cadillac kendrick and finn garrety used.
I sent 'em to a numbers guy i know in princeton, but so far he's hit a wall.
hold it oh, it's deb.
I got to take this.
Hey, babe! How's it going? Oh, gee.
I don't know.
Is it safe to eat blue cheese when you're pregnant? Babe, why don't you call dr.
Stein.
Yeah.
Why did you eat blue cheese? I met with judge oliver.
You were right.
I think he'll play ball.
Did he try to grope you? He can be a very grabby old man.
No, he was a perfect gentleman, except, of course, his willingness to be bought.
I told you this case is going to get ugly.
But it's the only way we're going to get those codes into evidence.
If we break them.
So, how are you doing? What do you mean? Everything that happened with phil.
I'd rather not talk about that.
All right.
I understand.
Ellen.
It's about trust.
You can overlook someone's flaws, but, in the end if you can't trust them they're worthless.
Thank you for helping me with the judge.
That's what I'm here for.
How the hell did we lose a cadillac? Dave, the car was stolen.
So even if patty hewes somehow manages to figure out what's on the gps, it won't be admissible in court.
What about your former lead counsel? Is she looking to remove the knife you stuck in her back and slit your throat with it? She's still bound by privilege, dave.
So anything she learned while working for unr can't be used against us.
The law is on our side.
You don't look worried enough.
For what? I was a kid raised on food stamps.
You know how I made so much money on wall street back in the day? How? Every day I'd wake up assuming I was going to lose it all.
I'd go to work and make a pile more.
See that? I always assume I'm going to win.
I'm concerned about daniel purcell.
If he's been sleeping with maddox, he knows about everything.
Purcell is in no position to make a move.
It's over.
I am not going to see her again.
I am sorry! Please stop apologizing.
You're a man.
You cheat.
I get it.
But you got caught.
You compromised me.
I don't know what else to say.
- I've told you everything.
- No, you haven'T.
You haven't told me everything.
You bought stock in ultima national resources.
These are confidential trades.
How did you get this? That's not really the point, is it? You had me investigated? Don't change the subject.
Well, you're changing the subject.
We were talking about our marriage, and now you want to discuss my financial transactions.
You you had me investigated? Unr may very well have killed daniel purcell's wife.
They are the enemy.
And if you can prove any part of that, they will be punished.
In the meantime, their stock was at an all-time low.
That's your answer? That's what I do, patty.
You and I had an agreement.
I don't get in your way, and you don't get in mine! You are my husband, and you bet against me.
I bet against you? I told you the stock would go up.
How many times did I warn you not to pursue the shareholder's case? How many times? Who tipped you off? - Who told you to buy that stock? - That's not your concern.
Not my concern? Whoever tipped you off about unr was using you to get me to drop the case.
And how would you know that? Is it the same person who told you I was being investigated by the fbi? Yes.
So twice, someone came to you, and twice, you advised me to drop the case.
Tell me who it was.
Tell me.
Dave pell.
The same dave pell who put you up for energy secretary? Yeah.
Who was in this apartment? Sharing my table with my friends? Yes.
- Get out.
- Patty.
I said get out.
You see enemies everywhere, but you can't see the people who actually care about you.
Get the hell out! You'll be hearing from my divorce attorney.
And I'll fight you.
I will fight you.
You think I'm going to roll over? Good luck.
What are you doing here? I want to help.
Kendrick came to my house.
You need protection.
I agreed to lie on the stand but only if kendrick would clean up aracite.
They killed your wife.
You were scared.
You made a deal.
I took money from them.
I knew that if I quit my job, i would need resources to take care of erica.
Well, Ii appreciate you coming here, but you swore on the stand that aracite wasn't toxic, so you're useless as a witness now.
It's not just aracite.
I've studied unr's grid.
Kendrick is intermittently shutting down power plants, limiting supply to drive up prices.
You know the details? Kendrick must have an energy trader helping him make a fortune with the inside information.
Finn garrety.
You know his name? The problem is I can't prove how kendrick gets the information to garrety.
Is there anything i can do? How are you with codes? I think we passed through here already.
Impossible.
We didn't see those trees before? Never.
Are you sure you know where we are? Absolutely.
We're lost.
Really? - A little bit.
- Finally.
A little honesty.
Your shoe's untied.
See if there's a dirt path over there.
I think we're more lost than you think we are.
Jesus.
Let's see what you can do outside the range.
Shoot to kill.
Damn.
You're a killer.
Two in the head, one in the heart.
How does that feel? I'm not sure I like it.
Damn it.
******* What were we doing at the gala tonight? I needed to get my original aracite report back from patty hewes.
Why? Because I'm not going to blow the whistle.
I was worried about erica's safety, and I made a deal.
They're going to leave us alone now.
You gave in to them.
You sold out.
Because I have to protect us.
I have to protect our daughter.
Dad? Dad? Are you okay? I'm fine.
I'm just working.
You should be in bed.
- Hi, mom.
- This is a surprise.
I'm going to jump in the shower.
You haven't slept here one night this week.
Michael, jill is irresponsible for letting you stay with her.
It is not a healthy relationship.
You really want to do this? Excuse me? You really want to discuss responsibility? You and phil are getting a divorce.
Who's responsible for that? - Go take your shower.
- No.
Let's hear your thoughts on relationships.
Why is it that you can't sustain one? Why do you hurt every person you come into contact with? Michael, stop it.
Phil, uncle pete, ray fiske.
People either leave you or they die.
Those are the only two endings possible with you.
Who are you going to hurt next? I've been thinking, and I've made up my mind.
You can't be the one.
The one for what? To do the job with judge oliver.
You're young and bright, and you have a brilliant career ahead of you.
You know that.
Okay.
Then, why are you pulling me off this? I'd just feel better leaving you out of it.
I don't need you to leave me out of it.
When I came back to work here, I knew what I was getting into.
I appreciate that, but I've made up my mind.
Then, who is going to do it? It's best for you not to know.
Patty shut me out.
What do you mean? She's not going to use me to bribe the judge.
She said she's trying to protect me.
Do you believe her? Maybe I'm too close to her now.
She actually seems to care about me.
Either that or she's suspicious of you.
Yeah, well, either way, now we won't know when she's going to make the bribe.
I think she's going to use tom instead.
Why tom? He's the only one she'd trust.
So we're going to have to get it from him.
How? Arrest him.
For what? For making a payoff in the infant mortality case.
He didn't make a payoff.
He walked away.
Only we know that.
you've already got him on tape arranging the payoff and meeting agent hawkins with the money.
It would be the fbi's word against tom'S.
It's corruption, ellen.
Do we have a choice? Son of a bitch! Each entry has three two-digit numbers.
The first number is the plant location, the second number is the time of day, third number is the day of the week.
Take a look.
So, "01" is the first letter of the alphabet-- a: Arkansas.
The only state starting in a where kendrick has a power plant.
The second set of numbers? So, that's 1:00 P.
M.
04-- thursday-- fourth day of the week.
So, each entry corresponds to a brownout.
Yes, and each brownout coincides with a futures trade made by Finn garrety.
Daniel? This is good news.
What's wrong? I understand.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for coming.
My pleasure.
I'm glad we can speak personally.
I feel you misunderstand me.
If we sit and talk, I think you'll realize just how much we have in common.
I'm sitting.
You're talking.
I read that magazine piece about you and your husband.
- Oh, yes? - Yeah.
Sorry the son of a bitch cheated on you.
But it was a nice article.
Learned a lot of interesting things about you.
Don't believe a word of it.
My daddy worked the coal mines.
Died of black lung at the ripe old age of 49.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Or maybe it was cirrhosis of the liver.
Depends who you ask.
So your point is that we both had humble beginnings? And we both made it to the top.
I mean, look at us.
Shouldn't we be able to settle our differences amicably? Yes, we should.
So why don't you begin by answering a simple question.
Was it your plan to manipulate the energy market? I believe in free markets, ms.
Hewes.
Or did dave pell bring you the idea? What's your price? Give me a number.
This isn't about a number.
This is about aracite.
I want you to clean it up, and i want you to compensate the victims.
And I also want you to step down from ultima national resources.
And I want a fairy godmother to make me all nice and pretty for the ball.
Maybe you'll change your tune when I put some gps coordinates in front of a judge.
That evidence was stolen.
It'll be inadmissible.
So tell me, why do i feel so damn confident? Kendrick started talking settlement as soon as i mentioned dave pell.
- Really? - Who is dave pell? Well, mostly he's a power broker.
I mean, he knows people.
He makes introductions, facilitates deals, and then takes a cut for himself.
Hold it.
Sorry.
Are you serious? Um, all right, I'm on I'm own my way.
I love you.
Deb's five centimeters.
So, how long since the last contraction? All right, well, just breathe, relax, and I'll meet you there, all right? I know.
I love you so much, too.
Okay.
- Tom shayes? - Yeah? - Hey, mind if we speak to you? - Yeah, yeah, I mind.
I'm on my way to the hospital right now.
- Yeah, no, you're not.
- No.
My wife'S my wife's having a baby.
- Please come with me, sir.
- No, she's having - she's in labor right now.
- Sir, I ask you to come with me.
Get in the car, please.
- My wife is having a baby right now! - Watch yourself.
Watch your head.
Watch your head, sir.
I don't know what you want me to say.
I didn't give her any moneY.
- She came into my office.
- Miss bryant? Yes.
Yes.
Monique bryant.
She told me if I wanted to represent her, I needed to front her $60,000.
I told her absolutely not.
Then why did you schedule a second meeting? I wanted to talk some sense into her.
People go to jail for this.
Tom, monique bryant is a federal agent.
We were at the park when you met with her.
Good, good.
Then you know that I didn't give her anything, and I just got up and I walked away.
Then how do you explain this? I feel terrible asking you to do this, but $60,000 is going to save my life.
Well, I'M I'm, uh, happy to help.
I'm going to give you this, but it's imperative that you understand you can never talk about this.
Is that your voice? Yes.
But I didn't give her a dime.
Agent hawkins? He says he didn't pay you anything.
Got it right here.
60 grand.
In cash.
That is bullshit.
I you know that I-I never gave that to you, you know that.
- All right, tom.
- I never gave that to her.
Start from the beginning.
No, listen to me, goddamn it.
Get me a lawyer right now.
You deny me this, god help you if this conversation goes a minute further.
Fine.
We've got an attorney for you.
How long have you been lying to my face? This isn't about you; it's about patty.
Patty is me.
We're partners.
- She goes down, the firm goes down.
- She's a criminal.
We know she's planning to use you to bribe judge oliver.
Oh, jesus christ, i can't believe this is happening.
All right, uh, uh, let me call my goddamn wife.
I don't even know if she's got to the hospital.
I called.
She's fine.
Oh, my god.
How can you live with yourself? If you want this to be over, it can.
They have all the information they need to send you to jail.
I didn't do it, okay? I didn't make the goddamn payoff.
That's irrelevant.
How are you going to explain that tape in court? It's their word against yours.
Screw patty.
You have some bullshit idea of loyalty.
Trust me, she doesn'T.
Everything I have, I have because of patty.
If she were in your position, tell me she wouldn't give you up in a heartbeat.
Patty's going down anyway, tom.
Save yourself.
I'm trying to help you.
Just give them what they want.
Nice work.
You got him to wear a wire.
Yeah, but he'll say anything now to see his wife.
I don't think we can trust him to go through with it.
Then what do you suggest? Tell him you'll make it all go away if he refuses to make the bribe.
Then patty will be forced to use me.
It's important to me that the two of you meet.
I'm excited.
All these years, I never knew i had a half-sister.
I want you to know i did try to be in your life, michael.
What do you mean? When you were seven, your mother told me about you.
We fought over custody, and we went to court.
It got ugly and eventually, i backed down.
I'm sure my mom was pretty vicious.
She was fiercely protective of you.
I'm sorry I never met your wife.
Do you really think that company had her killed? You sold out.
Because I have to protect us.
I have to protect our daughter.
Bullshit! For years you have been telling me that you don't want this life.
Well, you know something? That is bullshit because you do want it! You want your houses and you want that lawyer you're screwing.
- I don't give a shit about any of it.
- Shut up! If you don't stop them, I will.
I can't let you do that.
I'm going to call the epa.
- No, you won'T.
- Oh, yes, I will.
Stop.
Don't come any closer.
Stay right where you are.
I swear to god.
Wayne, I need to talk to you.
We made an arrangement.
You'd better not be backing out.
I'm not.
I need What, mr.
Purcell? We're in trouble.
Dad.
Erica.
This is michael.
****** ******* I told michael i have to go into the city for some business.
He thought it might be nice for the two of you to hang out while I'm gone.
Sure.
- Why don't you introduce him to grandma and grandpa? - Okay.
So do you have any plans for the afternoon? I have to finish my geometry.
- Need some help? - Sure.
Meet charles kurtwood shayes.
- I'm so thrilled for you.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
uh, patty, w-we have to talk about something.
Okay.
Uh, this thing with judge oliver Yeah? I can't do it.
Excuse me? I'm sure I'm sure you can understand why.
You've been a father for ten years, and it's never stopped you before.
But this time it's different.
I can't do it, and I don't think you should either.
Really? I'm sorry, but I've made my decision.
- I should have seen this coming.
- Patty.
I've always known that you would let me down.
Don't pull that bullshit on me, patty.
Why did I trust you? You're not cut out for this.
I can't do it, okay? Please, I just Ijust this once, - I-I cannot do it.
- I understand! I understand! So leave.
You're fired.
- Where are you? - Heading home.
Is it done? I'm going to have to try again.
- You'd better.
- I'll keep you posted.
Ellen.
Wes.
What's going on? Ah, they're doing some work at my building.
It'S do you mind if I crash here a night? - Sure.
- Or two? Maybe three.
Well, let's just see how the first one goes.
- I can live with that.
- Okay.
Yeah, you got kendrick.
This is daniel purcell.
Hey, danny, good to hear from you.
I've been thinking a lot about god.
- Heaven and hell.
- Yeah? Don't waste your time.
God gave up on both of us a long time ago.
The nine circles of hell are for the unrepentant who try to justify their sins.
I'm a businessman, daniel.
I don't give a shit about fire and brimstone.
Everyone in hell has knowledge of the past and the future, but not of the present.
It's a twisted joke because after the final judgment, time ends and all of us burning in hell will know nothing for all eternity.
You're out of your mind.
Detective victor huntley, please.
What is this in regard to? The murder of christine purcell.
No no No, no! No! Christine? Christine? No, no! No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! - ****** - ******* I think we may have a problem on our hands.
Does he know what really happened that night? What is it? We have a situation, mr.
Kendrick.
Daniel purcell just killed his wife.
- What? - Yeah, and he's asking for help.
I'm worried we'll lose him if we don't clean this up.
All right, you know who to call.
Make it look like a robbery.
- Do you want my help? - Yes.
Mr.
Kendrick.
- Is everything taken care of? - Not yet.
Why not? She's still alive.
Jesus christ.
What a goddamn mess.
What do you want me to do? - Finish it.
- Okay.
Help me.
Sure.
Tell him I killed my wife.
I killed my wife.
