Damages s03e02 Episode Script

Previously on Damages.
- How long have you been with me now? - Almost 11 years.
It's time to put your name on the door.
We're doing everything we can to recover your funds.
This follows Mr Tobin's confession to operating the largest Ponzi scheme in Wall Street history.
You're working Narcotics at the DA? Patty can go after the money.
Chris here is going to put the whole Tobin family behind bars.
When was the last time you spoke to Patty, anyway? Almost a year ago.
$70 billion went through your husband's fund.
He didn't tuck some of that away for the family? I need you to tell me everything you know.
Thanksgiving night? Who did he call? You want the truth? Here it is.
If I give you this number, I want you to tell the DA that I cooperated.
My father didn't hide any money.
The man left us with nothing.
- We've got money, Joe.
- What? We do.
It's out there.
- How much money? - Enough for generations.
The whole world is watching us.
We could never spend it.
It'll take some time, but there is a way.
I've made arrangements.
When the time comes, someone will let you know what to do.
Or I could go to Patty Hewes now, tell her it's out there and clear my name.
I took a shit on our name.
I'm not proud of it, but it's done forever.
Dad, why did you do it? There's no good answer, Joe.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
Think about it.
How are you going to take care of your family? Even if you go to Patty Hewes, who's going to give you a job? Who's ever going to trust you? You have to decide.
Your family or Patty Hewes.
Yeah, hello? - Hello? - Who is this? This is Patty Hewes.
Who's this? Sorry to keep you waiting.
- Well, the Welshman's back.
- Yeah, just got a few more questions.
Do you know this man? Let's see.
Item 4, the apartment.
Appraised value as of last year, $9.
6 million.
My client is willing to buy it out at 80%.
We're sorry, but the apartment is not negotiable.
All right, we'll table it for now.
Hold on.
We've been stuck on the apartment for seven months.
There must be some way we can settle this.
We already have.
I'm not selling.
I think the issue here is that my client doesn't think of this as just another asset.
- This is her home.
- "Her home"? Your client doesn't know what a home is.
Obviously, the emotions are still raw on this point.
Perhaps we could table this for later.
Were you hoping to invite David Pell to another dinner party? Half of Wall Street wanted Dave Pell at their dinner parties.
Well, now that he's a convicted felon, I suppose your girlfriend is your favourite dinner partner.
You know what? I think it's time to take a break.
You really want to start throwing stones? I have nothing to hide.
Really? I wish I'd had a chance to ask Ray Fiske about that.
You are not getting the apartment.
I think we're done here today.
You better believe we're done.
Yeah, Tom? I found our mystery phone-call recipient.
- Is he willing to talk? - For a price.
What does he want? A hot lunch.
There's money out there? That's what he said.
- Did you know about this before? - Of course not.
I just can't understand why he did it.
Well, he's a good man.
He just got caught up in something.
I don't know what to do, Lenny.
Joe, your father's going to go to jail.
There's nothing I can do to stop that.
So you, your mother, Carol, you're my priority now.
Whatever you need, whatever decision you make, you have my full support.
I want to tell the truth.
Help Patty Hewes get the money back for the investors.
Well, then, we'll set it up.
What about my mom? How's she gonna live? I don't know.
If I keep it and get caught, I go to prison.
Yes? Thanks, Liz.
It's for you.
- Who is it? - It's your wife.
Hello? Hey.
What? Slow down, honey.
Rachel, I can't When? I'll be right there.
We'll be right there.
- What's going on? - They just seized our apartment.
Listen, this dump site better exist.
You're not getting your 50 if you're playing me.
Hey, I didn't get where I am by being dishonest, and it's not a dump site.
It's a dumpster.
You can't tell your friends about this place.
It's a gold mine.
This is where you found the phone? Not just a phone.
Clothes, cigarettes, two suitcases, lemon reamer.
It's empty.
Well, sure, now it is, but I get new inventory all the time.
Look at this.
Those look sharp.
What do you What do you say I buy these off of you? No, dude.
Those are special.
Very special.
Come on.
What do you say? Nah, I already got the 50 coming.
All right, what are you thinking? Nice watch.
Are you serious? Sorry to bother you.
I need the CPL.
Just looking for a new code.
You're a breath of fresh air.
I just spent the last two hours going through a list of names before I realised that it was the exact same list I went through yesterday.
What are you looking for? Potential witnesses, Tobin associates, investors, anyone that can link the family to the fraud.
Looks like you got your work cut out for you.
Yeah, I do.
And you know what I would like when I'm done? A beer.
Really? Well, you enjoy that.
You're missing the point.
I want to drink it with you.
No, I got the point.
They put yellow stickers on all the furniture.
They said we have 24 hours to get out.
Who was there? I don't know.
Policemen.
Now, hold that.
Now I won't let things get any worse for him.
- I'm taking him to my parents.
- No.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
We're better off on our own right now, - away from your family.
- That's not your decision to make.
I don't want him in this chaos.
It's not safe, it's not healthy.
I will find a place to live.
I will make things normal again.
Joe, you actually think this will blow over someday? You know what your family's name means in this world.
You are his son.
You will always be his son.
You cannot change that.
Come on.
Come say goodbye.
Let's try this again.
Do you know this man? Yeah, sure, that's Tommy.
He's a good egg.
I helped him, he helped me.
- "Helped"? How? - Well, that's not for publication.
Oh, so you're keeping secrets? Girls have secrets.
Men have honour.
You left Tommy in the dumpster, didn't you? - Louis Tobin's boots.
- Where did you get those? Our residentially-challenged friend found them in the same dumpster he found the phone.
I guess someone was anxious to get rid of Tobin's things.
Well, how do you know they belong to Tobin? I traced the label.
They were custom-made at an Upper East Side boutique.
Louis Kenneth Tobin.
The saleswoman said he also ordered thousands of dollars' worth of women's clothing there.
- For his wife? - I don't think so.
He ordered a $2,000 shearling coat a few months back.
These were the initials he wanted on it.
"D.
M.
M.
" Which, incidentally, does not stand for Marilyn Tobin.
You think he had another woman in his life.
Yeah, I do, and she may have been important enough to call the night his life was falling apart.
Come on, you gotta eat something, all right? Come on.
You've got this tummy ache.
What's going on? Don't feel well? Thanks for coming.
Can I get you anything? Coffee? No, no.
I told you, I have a meeting.
I remember when I first found this place.
Building was a shithole.
Yes, but I made you buy it anyway.
And then you hardly ever lived here.
Where's the dog, Patty? Right here.
Hey, buddy.
Hey.
How's my buddy? The vet doesn't think there's anything wrong with him.
He thinks it's emotional.
I don't think it's another infection.
Yeah, but he has the same loss of appetite, no energy.
Well, you can try the antibiotics again, but I don't think it's worth the side effects.
- Let me know if it gets any worse.
- All right.
Good boy.
Phil, with this new case, I'm not going to be here much, and I really don't feel good about leaving him alone.
I'm busy, too.
Yeah, but you're the only other person he responds to.
I really don't think he should be left alone right now.
- All right, fine.
A couple of days.
- Great.
Thanks.
- Hello, Joe.
- Hey.
I know.
I know.
It's been a couple of weeks.
It's not a good time to be missing meetings, Joe.
- Go back in the room.
- I know.
I know, but I'm dealing with some other shit right now, so What kind of shit? It's just not something I can talk about.
Don't come here and keep secrets.
If you're going to talk to me, - have some respect.
- All right, but this is different.
There's legal reasons, and "Legal reasons"? - Okay.
- All right, listen, I have to make a decision.
Are you going to have a drink to help you make it? No.
So tell me about your decision.
I don't know.
It's going to sound like a stupid riddle.
Say you're in a lifeboat, and it's full of people with not enough food.
Who do you feed? Your wife, your neighbour, the priest? - I would not feed the priest.
- I know.
I mean, what are you supposed to do? Give up your life for people you don't know? What is important to you? What matters most to you? - Is it family? Integrity? - My family.
Well, then, you have your answer.
If family's the most important, then choose family.
You're only as happy as your saddest child, Joe.
Roger, could you check your investor data? I'm looking for someone with the initials D.
M.
M.
I think it's a woman.
- D.
M.
M.
Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
Tom, I I'm sorry.
I don't know how to say this.
Say what? Don't tell Patty about this.
What'd you find out? Guy's wife ID'd his body.
R.
Thomas Shayes.
Same guy who owned the car that hit Ms Hewes.
Yeah, they're partners in a law firm.
Oh, boy.
Think she had anything to do with this? I don't know.
Why didn't you tell me you were going to seize my home? Are you surprised? We're not in this together, you know.
I helped you.
I brought you information, and then you take my apartment? Thousands of people lost everything because of your father's fraud.
Your apartment was purchased with proceeds from that fraud.
How else am I going to start paying them back? All right, if If I can get you more information, would you be willing to help me? Well, what kind of information? Once my father goes to prison, Ms Hewes, you hit a wall.
He will not give you anything.
Whereas you'll still have access.
He trusts me.
Maybe I can get you some details, but if I do, I want something in return.
What's that? Unfreeze my assets.
I have a family, Ms Hewes, and I'm going to lose them.
I'm not here to make a deal.
No one's connected you to your father yet, so maybe you didn't know what was going on, but when I look at you, all I see is guilt.
Well, you're wrong.
Look at the life your family was living.
You must have known it was too good to be true.
If you're as close to your father as you say you are, you must have known, deep down, what he was capable of.
I have nothing to offer you, Mr Tobin.
Whether you clear your conscience or not, that's up to you.
You okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just Charlie's, you know, not sleeping like a 10-month-old.
Have we found the other woman in Tobin's life yet? There's no one with the initials D.
M.
M.
In Tobin's extended family, she's not a former employee, she doesn't hold any investment accounts and she's not associated with any financial institution.
I'm afraid I've hit a wall.
So D.
M.
M.
Doesn't show up anywhere? I'm sorry.
I know this is our only lead.
Figure it out, Tom.
This bag I found in your shopping cart, you're going to tell me where you got this.
I can't really say.
I find a lot of things in a lot of different places.
And then tell me about this.
We found that in the bag.
You know this woman? Yeah, I seen her.
She's the one you should be looking for.
Yeah, why's that? Her and Tommy, they had a thing going on.
Hey.
Twice in two weeks.
You must miss me.
- Coffee, black.
- Okay.
You? - Milk and sugar, thanks.
- Okay, sure.
- What's up? - I need your help.
- Sure, what do you need? - It's about the Tobin case.
- You know I can't help you with that.
- Sure, you can.
Interjurisdictional cooperation.
I'm not even working the Tobin case.
I'm sure you know someone in your office who is.
- Are you really asking me this? - Yeah.
Why doesn't Patty just call the DA? I'm sure he'd be happy to cooperate.
Come on, you know they have competing agendas.
We tip you guys off, you're not going to wait for us to get what we want.
You'll start pursuing it.
That'll scare our target off.
"D.
M.
M.
" What's that? Initials.
So you want to find who they belong to.
- How do I even do that? - We're limited to finance-related information.
Your office has a broader scope.
That name has got to be in there somewhere.
Tom, I left Hewes & Associates for a reason.
Look, the DA, he wants to put the Tobins away, right? They want to put them in jail? Fine, let him do it, that's his job.
But if he locks them up now, the victims are not going to get their money back.
I'm sorry, Tom, I can't.
Ellen, I'm not just asking as a friend.
What do you mean? Fetch.
Good, good.
Good.
I thought you weren't a dog person.
I wasn't, but look how happy he is.
- He likes you.
- Look, fetch! We should keep him.
- Oh, yeah, sure.
- What? Yeah, we could do that, if we want Patty to hunt us down and use us for ground chuck.
Patty asked you to take him.
She's basically admitting it.
The dog is happier without her.
I don't think that's why Patty asked me.
Why, then? Another manipulation? You think she's trying to soften you up so you'll give her the apartment? Maybe.
Even if she is, the dog is yours, too.
Fetch.
I've seen the way you've been the past few days.
You're more relaxed with Corey around.
All right, all right, maybe I'll ask Patty.
Take a stand, Phil.
Just tell her.
You're keeping the dog.
I want the money.
Good.
Who else knows about it? No one.
Mom doesn't know? Just you and me.
No, I told Lenny.
He's the one person I trust.
Listen, I need for this to be done in a certain way, so I don't want to know anything.
I don't want to know details about the fraud, I don't want to know where the money is, I don't want to know where you're hiding it, so I can deny everything.
That's how it should be.
From today on, we don't speak to each other again until we can safely access the money.
When that day comes, you contact me through Lenny and we have another conversation.
Okay.
I'll learn the relevant details, and I'll decide how to begin doling it out.
Promise me you'll take care of everyone.
I'm not doing this for me, Dad.
Thanks, Joe.
Don't thank me.
There's still another issue.
Mom gave me the phone number you called on Thanksgiving.
I gave it to Patty Hewes.
What, is that a problem? No, no.
No, it's okay.
That can't hurt us.
- You sure? - Yeah, I'm sure.
But, Joe, I should tell you who I phoned.
No, I just told you.
Whatever you did, you keep me out of it.
I don't want to know.
So, this is why you agreed to come out with me.
I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.
It's for a friend.
You really think you're going to be able to find whatever it is you're looking for in all that paperwork? Maybe not, but if you could at least let me have a look This guy must be a very good friend.
I owe him.
He doesn't happen to work for Patty Hewes, does he? Look, Nick, our office is supposed to be cooperating with hers.
Yeah, tell that to Gates.
He's paranoid she's going to screw up his criminal case.
I don't care about their ego battle.
I just want to help a friend.
And if I need some info from this friend someday I'm sure he'll be very grateful.
- This can't get back to me.
- Never.
I swear.
All right.
All right.
I'll let you take a look.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Did you talk to the girl? Unfortunately for you, we haven't been able to get in touch with her.
What's up? NYPD say possible homicide.
Tom Shayes.
You know him, don't you? Ellen.
Ellen, you okay? This came for you.
What, are you making deliveries now? It's from the District Attorney's office.
You planning on entering the civil service? You went to Ellen, didn't you? I'm sorry.
I wasn't getting anywhere.
Don't apologise.
Why not use Ellen? She come through for you? She did.
D.
M.
M.
Danielle Maria Marchetti.
Let's have another chat with Joe Tobin.
Thank you for coming to see us.
Anything I can do to help.
Do you know a Danielle Marchetti? No.
Why? Should I? Well, in the past year and a half, your father purchased $14,000 worth of clothes for Miss Marchetti.
What? Who is she? Well, that's what we'd like to know.
We believe that she's the person your father called on Thanksgiving night.
You think she's connected to the fraud somehow? We're looking into that.
Miss Marchetti was the receptionist at the health club where your father played squash.
Is that all you know about her? I'm afraid so.
Mr Tobin, are you sure there's nothing else that you can tell us? No.
No, I'm sorry.
I I wish there was.
Hey, Tom.
- Hey.
- Ellen.
I wanted to see how you were.
I'm still kind of reeling, but thank you for your help.
Sure.
I just I can't believe this happened.
Yeah, neither can I.
Did you tell Patty yet? No, she'll pull me from the case if she thinks I'm on a personal vendetta.
The name I got you, did it help? Yeah, thank you.
It could be a big break.
Did you find her? Look, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be rude, but I have to get going.
Well, where are you headed? I've gotta tell my wife that we've lost everything.
But that's not what our broker statement says.
- No, but the next one will.
- I don't understand.
We never invested with Louis Tobin.
No, but we were heavily invested with Leverett Investments.
Leverett is a feeder fund to Tobin.
I don't know what that means.
What It means that we gave our money to Leverett, and Leverett gave it to Tobin.
You never told me that.
I didn't know, okay? Legally, they're not required to tell us.
How is that possible? How? I don't know.
I don't know, you know? Two decades of deregulation and the SEC having its head up its ass.
I don't know! Tom, you told my parents to invest in Leverett.
You helped them get into the fund.
I helped my parents get into the fund! And my cousins and my aunts and my uncles and everybody! You said it was a sure thing.
Everybody in New York wanted in, okay? Jesus, why do you think I put our funds in there? Hey, Mom, I need this form signed for school.
Megan, we're talking.
Can't you see that? Shut the door.
Do not take it out on her.
What are we gonna do? I'm so sorry, Deb.
I know this is a horrible time, but I really need to know.
Who else knew about Tom and me? Come in.
Look who's home.
Corey! Corey, come here, boy.
Come here.
Come here.
Good boy! Come here.
Good dog.
You're a miracle worker.
Nothing a little TLC couldn't fix.
I love seeing you again.
He really took to my new place, or maybe it was just being around my things.
Speaking of which, I've been going through the apartment, getting rid of junk.
I found this in a cabinet.
Didn't know if it was yours.
- You don't remember, do you? - What? I brought this back from Paris.
It was a gift from Mitterrand.
We were going to save this for a very big occasion.
What kind of an occasion? You and I were going to drink this when Michael got into college.
So much for that.
Keep it.
Well, I'll never drink it.
Well, I don't want it.
It would feel wrong to drink it with anybody else.
- Okay.
I'll just toss it.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't you dare.
So, they know about Danielle.
Were you sleeping with her? Were you sleeping with her? Don't answer.
I don't want to hear any more of your lies.
- I'm ashamed.
- You should be.
I never meant for any of this to happen.
You know, I think back Everything you ever said to me, everything you've ever done, everything you ever were I'm sorry.
You're sorry? Danielle's not somewhere Patty Hewes can find her, is she? What? Did you put her up somewhere? Did you buy her an apartment? - Joe.
- Where is she? Where is she? - Patty will never find her.
- Where is she? She's staying at your sister's old place.
And you're sure she doesn't know about the money? She knows nothing.
Good.
What happened? Patty Hewes told him about Danielle.
- How'd he take it? - Not good.
Talk to him the way you do, will you? - Get him to calm down.
- I will.
We can't let Patty Hewes subpoena her.
What do you want me to do? Get her out of the country.
You thinking of remodelling? Yeah, it's been so long and I'm just tired of all this stuff.
Well, it's not yours to remodel.
The apartment is still in our name.
What are you going to do? Sue me? That's what I like about you.
You're always so tough.
You never back down.
I hate a weak woman.
Well, that's all about your mother.
Oh, yes.
You know what? Take the apartment.
- You're drunk.
- No.
Yes, I am, but I mean it.
You're at home here.
It's not the four walls that were home to me.
It was you and it was Michael, and And now that There's no point any more.
So, take it.
Take it.
- Take it.
- Well, thank you, Phil.
Sure.
But, you know, having spent some time with Corey got me thinking that there's something that I'd like in exchange.
What's that? Would you be willing to consider giving us another shot? What? That's funny? I mean, come on.
Why not? I mean, you and I made a damn good couple.
We had a great life together.
Didn't we? You're serious.
Yes.
Yes.
What? God, Phil.
I mean, what's the point? Michael's out of the house and you were a great father, but I don't need you any more.
And I certainly don't want you.
If you're really looking for companionship, I can give you the name of a great breeder.
Hello, Danielle.
I don't think your father would want you here.
- Joe, Joe! - I'm sure he wouldn't.
Wow.
What are you doing? - What do you want? - What do I want? I want to know.
All right, Joe, seriously, you need to leave.
How did it all start, Danielle? Was it the old Tobin charm or - Get out.
- Did he throw money at you - right away? - Get out! Jesus Christ, that's beautiful.
When was this taken? This is adorable.
How long has it been going on, Danielle? - I'm calling the police.
- How long? How long? Do you really want me to give them your name? How long? Hang up.
Hang up.
Hang up! I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
Glad everything worked out for you.
You were right.
Joe Tobin was lying to us.
You confirmed it? Your contact at the State Department got back to me.
Danielle Marchetti applied for an expedited passport.
So, Joe must have tipped off his father that we're onto her.
Yeah, and the passport came through.
If we don't find Marchetti, she's going to be able to travel tonight.
Cassie? God damn it! We've got more on Tom Shayes.
The ME sent over his preliminary report.
Three wounds.
One on the left thigh, two on the lower right abdomen.
- They have a read on the weapon? - Not yet.
So, what? Was his femoral artery hit? That's the thing, Vic.
None of these wounds were fatal.
There was no organ damage, no severed arteries.
Okay.
Then what killed him? He drowned.
