Damages s03e08 Episode Script

Previously on Damages.
You destroyed my reputation.
I want it back.
It's a green building, perfect headquarters for my new company.
And we'll just be, you know, a normal family again.
How is Jill? You were right about her.
It's over.
- What'd the doctor say? - We're doing great.
- What's next? - It's time for a 3D ultrasound.
The Tobins have totally wiped out our financial security.
We've lost everything.
One of the names you requested that I watch out for turned up.
Thomas Shayes.
How does Patty Hewes know about Antigua? Your father used a courier to help move the money.
Who did he use? Your father had a daughter with Danielle Marchetti.
- Am I in trouble? - Not if you keep telling the truth.
I don't think Tessa Marchetti is aware of what she's actually doing.
They're using the third form to move money.
I thought you should know the actual cause of your father's death.
I was the one who found his body.
There were no chemicals.
But that doesn't explain Danielle Marchetti.
She also died from a potassium overdose.
I think Carol Tobin may have killed Danielle Marchetti.
You used to work for Patty Hewes, isn't that right? Did you know that she was in a car accident? No.
Is she okay? Yeah, she's fine.
I mean, it's lucky, because it was quite violent.
My God.
What happened? We're not We're not sure, actually.
The strange thing is that the driver of the car that hit her just disappeared.
But what's stranger is that the car that hit Ms Hewes was registered to Thomas Shayes.
Yeah, it stumped me, too.
So I thought maybe you could help.
You're a lawyer.
You're good at puzzles, right? So, I thought maybe, you know, we could figure this out together.
Wind.
That's why we're here tonight, to talk about wind.
Several years ago, when I left the private sector, I had a kind of epiphany.
It struck me.
What is the point of doing anything unless you're doing good? So simple.
So profound.
What is the point of doing anything unless you're doing good? - Hear, hear! - Thank you, Archie.
I appreciate the enthusiasm.
Maybe not your tie, but definitely the enthusiasm.
So, I created the Whirlwind Initiative to spread the gospel of wind power.
It is time for this country to invest in a good, clean, home-grown energy alternative.
To that end, I want to thank a bunch of people who have made very generous contributions to this organisation.
And I want to shake each one of your hands individually, and I promise I will.
But first, there's somebody here tonight that I think merits special attention.
Terry Brooke, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, we all know Terry from Hollywood.
You know, he's been in some of the biggest comedies in the past decade, but his commitment to the Whirlwind Initiative is no laughing matter.
He has taken time off tonight to support our cause and to effect a positive, global change.
- Thank you, Arthur.
- Thank you, Terry.
I salute you.
Here are account statements from my bank in Antigua.
I got you everything in my name.
- That's what you wanted, right? - There are only two accounts? Checking and savings, like I told you.
And there's not much in there.
Just your salary from the airline? Yes.
I don't see how this could have anything to do with the Tobins' money.
But I'll do whatever I can to help.
We appreciate your cooperation, Tessa.
Thank you.
Yeah, thank you.
Actually, I have one more question.
Where did you spend last Thanksgiving? Upstate with a friend and her family.
Why? You didn't celebrate with your mother? - No.
- Why not? We got in a fight.
It was stupid.
It was her last Thanksgiving, and she spent it alone.
All right, Tessa.
Thank you.
What does Patty Hewes know? She knows Tessa Marchetti had an account in Antigua.
But she'll never see what's in the account.
When I meet with her today, I'll make sure of it.
Thank you for coming all this way.
It was a pleasure meeting you.
I didn't know your father, but I had great respect for the man.
Thank you, Mr Emanuel.
Patty knows the money's in Antigua.
That doesn't worry you? She can't get to it.
The banking laws are on our side.
And if she tries to get around the laws, we have Mr Emanuel to protect us.
- You trust him? - He's financially motivated.
Your dad and I cut him in.
There's nothing to worry about, fellas.
As long as you don't get greedy and start spending the money anytime soon.
There's something that you should know.
A woman from the D.
A.
's office approached Joe.
She didn't ask about the money.
The D.
A.
Thinks that Danielle Marchetti was murdered.
They're looking into it.
So you should be careful.
I should be careful? I'm not the one who killed her.
We had nothing to do with it.
Well, if you didn't do it, who did? Something must be terribly wrong with Carol.
She's disappeared like this before.
Always finds her way home.
Not always.
Who is she seeing, Lenny? I don't know.
She hasn't mentioned anybody.
She has tragic taste in men.
Where did she get that? She's probably holed up with someone right now.
Okay, let's just Let's just figure this out, okay? Would it make you feel better if I hired someone to find her? Yes.
Do that, please.
Okay, Marilyn? Marilyn, leave this to me.
Everything's going to be fine.
Thank you, Lenny.
No one ever calms me down like you.
Even Louis.
- Come on.
- It's true.
He'd say the right words, humour me But I know that you always take my concerns to heart.
It's only because you let me.
I can confirm that Miss Marchetti has both a checking and a savings account at the Royal Antiguan Bank.
We believe she's signing documents for another account.
If she has another, we haven't been able to find it.
And if the account was opened as an international banking company, we may never find it.
Mr Emanuel, this is the largest financial fraud in history.
I share your frustration, and I will continue to pursue every avenue on your behalf.
But you must be patient.
Well, Mr Emanuel, thank you for coming in.
Thank you.
- He's never going to give us anything.
- No, he's not.
But we may have another lead.
I've been talking to Ellen.
Carol Tobin's missing.
She hasn't been back to her apartment in days.
So I was hoping you guys could pull some strings and help locate her.
Can't you do that through the D.
A.
's office? Ellen doesn't want her boss to know that we're looking into Carol.
Why not? I don't want Gates getting in your way.
Thank you.
Wherever Carol is, we'll find her.
Hey.
Thank you for bringing me here.
It's much better.
I feel safer.
Michael? Ellen.
- Hey, there.
- Hey.
How's life after Patty Hewes? I should ask you the same question.
Life's good.
Jill Burnham, Ellen Parsons.
- Hi.
- Hi, lovely to meet you.
Ellen was my mom's favourite associate.
You must be pretty special if you were Patty's favourite.
Are you also expecting? No.
Oh, no.
God, no.
Just I was getting a present for my niece.
That's nice.
And you two are Having a baby, yeah.
Wow, that's You're going to be a father? Sure looks like that.
That's Wow, that's great.
We're excited, yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, I'm having an art show coming up.
Maybe you could stop by.
Okay.
Great.
Thank you.
Well, it was good running into you.
Yeah.
You, too.
Nice to meet you.
- And take care.
- You, too.
- Bye.
- Bye.
So, is she going to tell your mother that I'm pregnant? I don't think they speak to each other any more.
Ellen's just another person my mom pushed away.
We've been keeping tabs on Joe Tobin.
He hasn't been drinking and he's been attending meetings regularly.
I have something else for you.
It concerns Joe's sister, Carol.
We can't find her.
Obviously, her mother is very concerned.
I understand.
Is there a man in her life? Well, she's had a bad history in that respect.
You know, shady boyfriends, two ex-husbands.
Their names are actually all there.
Ones we're aware of, anyway.
The fact is, she could be at a yoga retreat and didn't tell anyone.
So just find her.
I'll get on it straightaway.
Excuse me.
I never asked.
Are you married? Why do you want to know? Right.
Right.
- Don't answer.
Thank you.
- I'll let you know when we find her.
Have things settled down at all for you here? Are the paparazzi still totally insane? It's a little bit better, I guess.
I've been thinking about you a lot and missing you.
You realise this time last year we were in Aspen? - Aspen, yeah.
- Yeah.
Kevin keeps asking why we're not skiing with the Hoffmans this winter.
Kevin doesn't realise that the Hoffmans refuse to see us.
What? I have something for you.
Just I don't understand.
Where did you get this? We have friends.
They're willing to help us.
- IIlegally? - No, I would not put you at that risk.
The money's a gift.
That's okay to accept? This is okay? Lenny says gifts are fine.
Okay? But if Patty Hewes knew about it, she'd try to take it away.
So don't spend it conspicuously.
Meaning what? Meaning buy what you need and buy what Kevin wants.
Baby, you don't deserve to be living the way you are.
I'll get you more whenever I can.
- Joe, I - Rach, take it.
Take it.
It makes me feel better.
First off, let me just say it's a real thrill to have you at our foundation's fundraisers.
I mean, I'm a huge fan.
Thanks.
And, you know, not just of you as an actor, but also as a man.
You coming on to me, Arthur? I'm serious.
My kids and I love watching your movies.
You bring us a lot of joy.
I'm glad to hear that.
Let's sit down for a sec, all right? So, the word on the street is you're a serious guy.
You got your head screwed on straight.
Is that right? Thanks.
I try.
Yeah, it took a little while, but I finally got myself cleaned up.
Well, I'm a big believer in redemption.
- Yeah, life is good now.
- That's wonderful.
You know, a lot of guys your age, they just don't have character yet.
If you don't mind, I want to run something by you.
Hear your thoughts.
Shoot.
The work my initiative's doing is good.
It's solid.
You know, we're making progress, but it's low impact.
What we need now is to make a splash.
What do you have in mind? I'm thinking about webisodes, commercials, PSAs, a whole series of them.
But if we're going to come out swinging, what we need to do is have a recognisable face, you know? Somebody that people relate to, you know.
A personality that they trust.
Sounds like you'd be perfect.
Me? Oh, no.
God, no.
Are you kidding me? No, I'm no actor.
No.
Hey, have you ever seen me on camera? I look like Frankenstein.
- So you're thinking - You.
As the face of the Whirlwind Initiative.
Absolutely, man.
I tell you something.
No, seriously, you'd be perfect.
Geez, Art, I'm flattered.
I'm signed to do three pictures back-to-back-to-back.
- Oh, wow.
- In good faith, I can't make the kind of commitment you're talking about.
I'm sorry about that.
No, you don't have to apologise.
Are you kidding me? Thanks Thanks for just listening to it.
Yeah, you get it.
Hey, that's your life story, huh? Yeah.
My Long And Windy Road.
"Windy.
" It's "Windy.
" God damn.
I told my publisher people wouldn't get it.
No, no, that's a great title.
Yeah, it's surprisingly easy to write.
I just jotted down everything that led me to this point in my life.
You know, my childhood, then through the selfish years and right up until my environmental enlightenment, really.
Hey, you know something? Give it a read, will you? Love to.
Yeah, thank you.
Listen, Art, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave.
I'm sure you'll find the perfect pitchman.
- I'm sure I will.
- Yeah.
- Hey, Dad! - Hi.
Hey, kiddo.
Hey.
Did you have a good time? He ran me around like a rodeo clown.
- Grandma got me ice cream.
- What? At 20 degrees outside? - That's what he wanted, that's what he got.
- Yeah.
I want to see Aunt Carol.
- Yeah, well, maybe she'll drop by later.
- Have you heard from her? Yeah, I called her and left a message, but she didn't call back.
- Can I play video games? - Yes.
Racetrack, no killing.
I'm afraid something's happened to your sister.
Just give it some time, Mom.
I've been looking into Carol Tobin's past.
Apparently, she's run off before.
Really? Her mother filed a missing persons report once.
Interpol found Carol with her boyfriend in Barbados.
So she could be anywhere.
Well, yeah, but there is good news.
Every single call from Carol Tobin's cell phone has been relayed through a tower in this section of Brooklyn.
We could narrow it down if we knew where she was spending money.
Yeah, well, I'm still checking on ATM records and credit card statements.
So I should have more information tomorrow.
You heading out? Yeah, I'm going to go meet Deb.
- Everything okay? - Yeah, it's fine.
- Good night.
- See you.
I really like your new place.
I like it, too.
It must be nice to be out of that hotel.
So, I ran into Michael.
Actually, he invited me to his art show.
I guess congratulations are in order.
For what? You're going to be a grandmother.
Jill's really showing.
I thought that you knew.
I'm really sorry.
I just assumed No.
No, no, I knew.
I just still find it hard adjusting to the idea.
Yeah, of course.
That's huge, having a grandchild.
Yes, it is.
Hey, great show, Michael.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Well, it looks like you're a hit.
- Why? Did we actually sell anything? Yeah, I have offers on two of your pieces.
Congratulations, babe.
You're a professional now.
I've changed my mind.
Take me home.
in local and sustainable foods in local and sustainable foods has, in some cases, revived an interest in hunting.
food commentator, Jason Harris, recently took a walk on the wild side.
Thank you, Lane.
You know, some young urban dwellers are getting in touch with their inner hunter.
- Tom.
- What are you doing right now? - Headed to work.
What's up? - I got Carol Tobin's credit card statements.
Want to go to Brooklyn? I'll drive.
Well, that's true.
But I feel that it's our responsibility to our children, and our children's children.
And ourselves, for that matter.
All right.
Okay.
No, no.
I'll go through your people from now on.
Well, thanks for taking my call, Matt.
All right.
McConaughey said no? Yeah, afraid so.
- Everybody's so goddamn selfish.
- No, don't say that.
It's not the cause, it's probably me.
What do you mean? I'm still a greedy monster to a lot of people out there.
My new image is going to take some getting used to.
Dad, please.
Your shit was Mickey Mouse compared to the Tobins.
Watch your language, will you? Actually, you know something, Owen? This is a good lesson for you.
Reputations die hard, don't forget that.
Anyway, it may take a while, but I will do what it takes to make this work.
'Cause what can you always count on a Frobisher to do? Land on our feet.
God damn right.
Do you recognise this woman? Her credit card statement says she bought some groceries here last week.
Yeah, I think I've seen her maybe a couple of times.
Did you speak with her? Probably just a few words at the register.
Did she mention where she lives? No, no, nothing like that.
Well, we think she may be staying around here.
We're just trying to figure out where.
I'm sorry.
Customers come and go.
I don't normally ask too many questions.
Do you have any idea what direction she came from or where she went when she left? No, I'm afraid not.
I'll tell you what, if you see her again, just give me a call.
Yeah.
Sure thing.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Look, Patty, like it or not, we're stuck in each other's lives now.
So why don't you just try to be civil and tell me why you asked me here? About a year ago, Jill, I made a decision.
It was difficult.
I struggled with it.
But in the end, I promised myself that I would stay out of Michael's life.
Well, that must've been hard, but maybe it was for the best.
I think it was.
But now I'm going to break that promise.
Why is that? Because you've left me no choice.
I checked you out, Jill.
Does Michael know you have an ex-husband and two daughters? Of course he does.
Does Michael know that your ex has sole custody? Yes.
Would it surprise him to learn that the state of Colorado found you an unfit mother? I care about Michael.
I believe you.
And I have sympathy.
So I'm not going to tell him what I know about your past.
Thank you.
But I want to know how much would it take? For what? For you to walk away.
$100,000? - Don't do this.
- Come on, Jill.
You run an art gallery, and a pretty shitty one at that.
Business isn't exactly booming.
- Goodbye, Patty.
- $200,000? I came here to make peace.
Well, that's not going to happen, so why don't you just take a cheque and disappear from my son's life? Consider this the carrot.
Believe me, you don't want the stick.
How are you doing? You mean financially? I'm supporting my entire extended family.
Trying to avoid selling every valuable possession I own.
And personally? Well, things between Deb and I have been pretty shitty recently.
The hardest part is managing her anxiety.
She's not taking it well.
I'm so sorry.
Turns out that losing 70% of your net worth puts a strain on a marriage.
I mean, who knew? I assume you still haven't told Patty that you invested with Tobin.
No.
She'd pull me from the case.
I don't want her thinking that my emotions would affect my decision-making.
I don't think that's why you're not telling her.
It isn't? No, 'cause if you told her, then you might seem weak.
Patty can't stand weakness in people.
Maybe.
Maybe.
You know, you're the only one who knows her as well as I do.
- Why don't you come back to the firm? - I can't.
You're helping us, anyway.
Yeah, but I need my distance.
What does that mean? If I had to deal with Patty every day, I'd lose myself.
You know, she made me partner, but once, she told me that I'd be nothing but a right-hand man.
She's just playing mind games with you.
Yeah, well, she may be right.
Tom, you don't need her.
- Shit.
- What? - Why didn't I think of this sooner? - Think of what? I know someone that lives around here.
It's right here.
Barry! - You know who lives here? - Yeah.
Barry, it's Tom.
- Tom who? - Tom Shayes.
Tom, Tom, Tommy Shayes.
Who's she? - This is Ellen.
- Hey.
I don't trust her.
She's a friend.
Okay? Have you seen this woman? No.
We think she might be hiding out around here.
Look, here's 100 bucks.
- You want me to keep an eye out for her? - That's right.
That's right.
If you see her, call me right away.
Use that payphone around the corner and call me, all right? It's important.
You got it, Tommy.
Thanks, Barry.
- I'll do whatever I can to help you.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
So, Patty Hewes is hit by a car registered to Thomas Shayes.
The driver of the car flees the scene.
My partner and I go to the address the car's registered to.
Then we find Thomas Shayes dead in a dumpster.
The same dumpster where we found your bag.
That is hard to explain.
Yeah.
You know, Detective, I don't think I'm in the right state of mind to help you right now.
Yeah, sure, I understand.
This is, you know There's one more thing.
The homeless man who found your bag, he seems to think that you and Tom Shayes were in some kind of relationship.
Was there something romantic going on between the two of you? Tom and I were starting a law firm together.
I read it.
Arthur, I loved it.
Yeah? Jesus Christ, the shit you've been through.
It's just fantastic.
Well, thank you.
I'll tell you the truth, I was in Italy during your trial, so I missed it.
But this is It's remarkable.
I really appreciate you reading that.
Thank you, Terry.
I want to be in business with you.
Let me option this.
I want the rights to your story.
You know, Terry, I don't I don't think people want to see a movie about my life.
Your rise, your fall, the rebuilding.
It's an American epic.
You're kidding me, right? Arthur, you get the right director and the right writer This is powerful, powerful stuff.
- Yeah, I don't know.
Thank you.
- Yes.
And I want to play you.
I'm flattered, obviously, but I really don't think this is a very good idea.
Arthur, you give me the rights to your book, you've got yourself a pitchman for your foundation.
You would do the commercials - and the webisodes and the PSAs? - As many as you want.
What do you say? Well, I suppose if we can both help each other out.
We absolutely can.
I have to say I'm intrigued.
A movie? Louis Tobin's boots, Danielle Marchetti's phone.
Where did you get those? At some point, someone threw the boots and the phone into a dumpster, and Barry found them.
The homeless guy? So that's how you know him? Why would someone throw this stuff away? Tobin's trying to cover up Thanksgiving.
Your guy found her.
Is she all right? He said she looked a little run down, but besides that, she seemed fine.
Here's the address where she's been staying.
- You sure this is the place? - Yes.
Why? - Michael, are you sure you want this? - Want what? Me, the baby, all of it.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
We've already talked about this.
You could be at college with your friends, going to parties and thinking about yourself.
I'm not interested in that.
I just don't want to saddle you with anything.
I want you to know that you can walk away and I'll be okay.
Where is this coming from all of a sudden? Nowhere.
Shit.
Ellen told my mom she saw us, - didn't she? - What? Did my mother call you? Did you talk to her? No, of course not.
I would have told you that.
I just want to know that you're sure, that's all.
I'm really glad that you're in this with me.
- Lenny.
- Are you okay? Hey.
She's fine.
Carol, let me speak with Lenny alone, okay? These apartments are in my name, Joe.
I am the landlord here.
You should have told me.
How'd you find out she was here? Your mother was concerned.
I hired someone.
You hired someone? Why are you hiding her? Because Zedeck didn't kill Danielle.
What do you mean? What did Danielle say to the D.
A? - Nothing.
She plead the Fifth.
- What? She knows you had nothing to do with the fraud.
- Why didn't she just say that? - I don't know.
After everything Daddy did for her, after all that shit she dragged our family into.
What can we do about it? - Why do you still have that? - I don't know.
I was Look, Carol, I am really sorry for your family, but I'm gonna get your coat.
Jesus Christ.
I didn't want the D.
A.
To get to Carol, so I put her here.
- Tom Shayes.
- Tommy.
Barry, did you find her? No, but he came back.
Who came back? The guy who threw away the stuff I found in the dumpster.
You mean the cell phone? And the boots.
Yeah, he's back.
You sure it's the guy who threw the stuff away? Shit, yeah.
How do you know? Because I saw him do it.
Thanks, Barry.
Patty, I can't talk right now.
- Where are you? - God damn it! Tell me what's going on.
Tom? Tom? Patty, I gotta go.
Let's do this fast.
- It's all here? - All of it.
Good.
I'm a man of my word.
