Betrayal (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 1 - Pilot - full transcript
Sara's husband will be facing off with Jack in a high-profile murder case.
You're on probation, stafford.
Previously on "betrayal"...
Brandy is no good for you.
I'm gonna marry her.
The best thing would
be for that girl
To disappear from
both our lives!
Brandy, are you home?
You lying coward! You...
I've met someone.
What does that mean?
It means he's cheating on mom.
Get out! Oliver: Mommy?
Don't let him see this, okay?
Mommy? Oliver.
Let's not be alone tonight.
Hey. Hey.
It's 4:00 a.M.
I know. I've been up since 2:00.
I was afraid I'd oversleep.
Oliver won't be awake for hours.
I know.
Come back to bed. Mm.
What we've done here
is not a small thing.
No.
Oliver, vic, val.
It's gonna change
their lives forever.
It's gonna become
part of who they are.
I know it might seem
impossible, but...
I really think that one
day they'll understand.
They won't.
Maybe they'll grow
up believing that...
Happiness is worth fighting
for, worth changing for.
I like that. Say it again.
Really?
No.
Just tell me we're not
ruining their lives.
We'll be there for them.
We'll love them
more than anything.
That's... that's what matters.
And that's what'll
get us through this.
Oh, I should go.
It's dark outside.
Let me... Let me
walk you to the car.
Mm.
I love you.
I like that. Say it again.
I talked to my guys
at the morgue.
The korskaya case is closed.
What, that she drowned?
In a tub?
Overdose.
It's not so surprising.
These girls all get
messed up in the end.
So, you cops don't think
someone might've killed her.
Not that I've heard. Do you?
She had a little girl... amy.
Did they find the father yet?
Mnh-mnh, no record of the guy.
They're looking for
a permanent home,
But that'll take
some time, you know.
People aren't exactly looking to
adopt some dead hooker's kid.
Watch your mouth.
So, uh, mcallister ain't
working for you anymore?
I mean, I hope you
don't mind me asking.
I just thought he was,
you know, family.
Actually, I do mind.
Are we done?
I didn't hear you come in.
I packed oliver's lunch.
Thanks. There's some coffee.
I'll get some at the office.
This is hard, I know.
Hard?
Wow.
Hey, honey.
Mm, you ever get to sleep?
Mm-hmm.
You want to play jenga while
I make breakfast? No.
Okay. You want some oatmeal?
I got to run. I got
an early meeting.
Bye, buddy. Wait!
What about mommy?
Oh, daddy's in a hurry.
Kiss mommy goodbye.
Have a good day.
No.
A real kiss.
Like in a wedding.
♪
Welcome back to work.
It's good to see you here, son.
I don't want to move into
jack's office today.
Yeah, sure, I understand.
I don't think brandy
wanted to die.
She wanted to take care of amy.
Sometimes it's hard to know what
goes on inside someone's head.
Maybe, but sometimes it isn't.
T.J...
I know it must've been awful
finding her like that.
But try not to dwell on it.
Okay?
Sara hanley? Nate greene?
That's me.
The reporter from new york?
Precisely.
Y-you want to come in? Yeah.
Oh, man!
My apartment is the
size of your bed! Oh!
Is it worth it, really,
living in manhattan?
You know what?
Don't answer that.
I'll just get depressed,
and when I get depressed,
I have to lie in bed
blowing mithril
On hobbit armies
of the third age.
You have a band-aid
by any chance?
New sneakers.
Sure.
So, I really like your article
on that hypocrite c.E.O.
Michael boyd? Yeah.
What a douche!
Your pictures were crazy good.
You got an eye for sadism.
That's a compliment. Thanks.
Ah, buzz lightyear.
How old's your kid?
He'll be seven in a month.
Does he live here with you?
No, his, uh, dad and I...
It's kind of complicated right now.
Oh, yeah.
My parents got divorced
when I was nine.
Sucked at first, but then it
became strangely awesome.
Two birthday parties.
So, I know you didn't come all
the way here for a band-aid.
You know all those
foreclosures from the crash?
Homeless families
in the south side
Are using boarded-up
houses for shelter.
They're getting ousted by
real-estate developers,
Rousted by city officials,
flousted by cops.
"flousted" isn't a word, but...
My intel says things
are going down
In auburn gresham right now.
It's heavy!
These people have no rights.
I want us to tell their story.
Aren't you gonna
get your camera?
I-I booked this job on...
Home beekeeping.
Hanley, you're wasting
your talents!
Take a risk!
Get messy.
Zarek: Thatcher. You
wanted to see me?
Brandy korskaya.
Drowned in her bathtub.
Under the influence.
How does that happen?
I guess it was a
convenient tragedy.
So you figured it
out all by yourself
To show some initiative.
Is that it?
Yeah.
I knew what you wanted.
You were wrong.
I did what needed to be done.
You don't decide that... ever!
I watched you when I was a kid.
What I am, I learned
it from you.
You killed a mother.
You made her child an orphan.
What do I tell my son?
From now on,
You do exactly what I tell
you and nothing else,
You understand?
Now get out.
Is there a code word?
Drew: What?
This bench thing is neat
Very "three days of the condor."
I'm sorry. Who are you?
The queen of France. And you?
Drew stafford. Drew stafford.
I knew it.
Quincy theringer.
I was supposed to meet serena.
She quit 'cause you
annoyed her so much.
I mean, you did annoy her,
but that's not why she quit.
Well, what, then? Her
house burned down.
Her granny died.
She broke her toe.
I'm really not at
liberty to say.
Okay, ms. Theringer.
No one calls me that.
You're the head of the task force now?
Affirmative.
The case is closed. Your c.I.
O.D.'d in the tub.
I spent some time with her.
That girl was clean.
You look pretty clean yourself.
Ever known a drug addict?
Don't answer that. They're
professional liars.
Will you just look
at this, please?
It's t.J. Karsten's impala.
It was parked at the garage
where lil' d was... who?
Darius miller... the kid they're
saying shot lou mrozek.
His boss told me that lil' d
found mrozek's .38 in a car.
Now, if I can get him to
admit the car in question
Well, it's what I
thought all along.
Karsten family killed
one of their own.
It's a murder. Go tell
your murder people.
I can't.
Howard goss doesn't want
to hear this from me.
Well, I'm sure when you show mr.
Goss
A clipping of an
antique-car auction,
He'll revise his opinion of you.
Just ask serena.
I may have annoyed her,
but she and I had...
Serena is gone. This
is a murder case.
Take it up with your
office, lil' drew.
What are you wearing...
I mean, doing?
I'm wearing what I always wear,
and I am packing up lenses.
Are you nervous
about your meeting?
I shouldn't be.
I went to law school
with this guy.
His firm's one of karsten
allied's biggest rivals,
So could be a good fit.
You sound hopeful. I like that.
You're, uh, off to shoot
some home beekeeping?
Uh, actually, no. Something
interesting came up.
More interesting that
domesticated bees?
I don't want to jinx it. I'll
tell you about it later. Okay.
Look, I wish we could
have dinner, but I-I got
My, uh, kids' birthday
tonight, so...
Well, I'll be
thinking about you.
I'm always thinking about you.
Look, son, I understand
what you're going through.
I do, really.
But everyone experiences loss.
I went through it
when I was your age.
And I survived.
If it doesn't kill you,
it makes you stronger?
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
What does that even mean?
♪ I may get weary
♪ women do get weary
♪ wearing the same
shabby dress ♪
♪ but when I'm weary
♪ try a little
♪ try a little tenderness
what in the hell?!
The nerve, really! I am
so sorry, miss dumond.
Okay, yeah, how are you
gonna fix it, huh?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe if I do this.
Mmm.
Angelo: Suzanne?
I'm tired of pretending.
But some people
won't understand.
I don't care. I love you.
Suzanne?!
Get back to work.
I don't know what you're
up to, but get on out.
You're fired.
Dad?
Dad?! Hmm?
I don't want to
work here anymore.
T.J.! I want to live on my own.
That's not practical. It is.
Some things I haven't done
because you told me not to,
I want to see a new doctor
about changing my meds.
T.J., I know you're in pain.
But don't use that as an excuse
to blow up your whole life.
Just a minute!
Keep working here.
Live with me.
It'll get better. I promise.
The truth is, I-I'm
ready for a change.
Yeah, so are we.
I think our firm could be a
great fit for you. All right.
I've got a lot of
experience with land use,
Permitting, entitlements,
commercial leasing,
Some litigation, too. Yeah.
Are we speaking in code here?
Code? Jack...
When I said we were interested
in your particular skill set,
I meant that we were looking
for someone to come in
And help us grease the
unions, you know,
Bend the e.P.A. On our
wetlands project.
You want a fixer. Right.
We just need you to
do what you do, man.
Oh, sorry.
I got to run.
All right, here.
Take a look at this.
And we'll be in touch.
All right, great catching up, man.
All right, thanks.
Back off, back off!
Okay, team, here's the plan.
I'm gonna try and get a
statement while you...
Document the flousting.
It's risky, but you got to
take risk by the balls!
Just... Kill it!
Kill the risk! That's the
weirdest pep talk ever.
You stop!
Move back!
You got to be kidding me!
Stay back! No pictures!
Okay, that's it!
Let go!
Let go! Nate greene!
This is my colleague,
sara hanley!
Yeah, well, you're
both under arrest!
Obstruction of justice! Sara:
We're not obstructing anything!
We have a right to be here!
Ow! You should use that, huh?
You know a good lawyer?
Actually, I know two.
Ah, what an amazing day!
Vic: Yeah!
I mean, look at the sky!
I'm so psyched that we
came out here today!
Hey, I'm pretty sure you're not
supposed to have booze with your pills.
No. I'm not on my pills!
No, I-I-I'm tired of
anything holding me back!
From now on, anything
that holds me back,
I don't have time for!
Is that okay?
I mean, what'd the doctor say?
It's fine!
Look, things are gonna change.
They're gonna get better!
It's good! It is!
It is! I'm in the clear!
Don't be worried.
Now, come on, I-I picked you
up to bring you out here
To have a good time
on your birthday!
Now let's have some fun!
We weren't doing anything, jack!
They arrested us for
just standing there.
Just standing there with a camera.
Is that a crime?
No, nein, nyet.
Should we file a complaint?
Ne... that's bulgarian.
Yes, I'll file a complaint.
Good, I'll go back, get more shots.
That's my girl!
It's nice to meet you, nate.
Hey, thanks for bailing us out.
I'll call you with our next move.
What next move?
Forget about the bees, hanley.
You're an outlaw now.
You all right?
Yeah, I
I just can't stop thinking
about this little boy.
He was barely oliver's age.
You seem energized, motivated.
I'm kind of jealous, actually.
Your meeting didn't go well?
No, I was naive to think I could
get a legit job in chicago.
Hey, you can start again,
do something else.
Let's go. I'll buy you a drink.
I wish, but I-I got
this birthday party.
I hope they'll let me in.
They'll be happy to see you.
Hey.
Did you ever think you'd
have to bail me out of jail?
Let's give you a lift, outlaw.
I'm sorry about before...
Our misunderstanding.
I want to make it up to you.
I know...
I know we need the unions
to raise their estimates
On the streeterville
project, right?
So we can pad the budget
Before your big meeting
with the investors.
What does that have
to do with you?
I can deal with the
union, be a liaison.
I can learn to do the
stuff the way jack did,
How you need it.
I came to you so you
would sign off.
I'll keep you informed
every step of the way.
Give me another shot.
Thatcher: Give me
another shot, angelo.
I won't screw up again.
All right.
No more lazing around.
No more...
Fraternizing with the talent.
Want the job back or not?
Yeah, I need it.
All right, then.
Keep your eyes down
and your mouth shut.
We'll see how it goes.
Suzanne: Yeah.
Hey, kid...
I see you look at that
colored girl again...
I'm gonna stick you with this.
You got it?
Okay.
One more shot.
Did you have fun in art class?
Mine is red with blue
stripes, like a tiger.
I can't wait to see it.
Ollie... Did you take this?
What sound does a giraffe make?
Oliver, did you... Did you
take these from school?
I won't be mad.
It's a giraffe dog.
Um, okay, well...
Have you been worried
about anything?
Something on your mind?
What is it, honey?
I had a bad dream.
I called you, but
you didn't come.
Oh. Did daddy come?
Uh-huh. But I wanted you.
Where were you, mommy?
Daddy didn't tell me.
Hey, jack.
Hey. What are you doing here?
I drove thatcher over.
Congratulations.
Your kids are
practically adults.
Yeah.
I could use a little
advice, if you don't mind.
I got to meet with a union rep
About the streeterville budget.
I reached out to dibinsky.
He gave me the brush-off.
Who else can I talk to?
I don't know. I don't
really care anymore.
We've had our disagreements.
But we're still family, right?
We can't let the old man down.
Just because you're, you know,
in the situation you are,
It don't mean you
should abandon him.
I'm sorry. You're on your own.
I cleaned everything
up for you, jack.
For you and for t.J.
What are you talking about?
Don't pretend like you
don't know how it is.
Someone had to get
rid of that girl.
I didn't know you were coming.
Well, it's their birthday.
Of course I was gonna come.
Yeah, but you can't
just show up.
You have to let me know.
I called a few times.
You don't live here anymore.
It's my house, too.
No, it isn't. It really isn't.
You need an engineer to open a
bottle of wine around here.
Jack.
Thatcher.
Hard to believe the
kids are 17 now.
You're feeling
nostalgic, gramps?
Where are the kids?
Vic is on his way
here with t.J.,
And val is upstairs
raiding my closet.
I guess you're stuck with us.
Hey, birthday girl. Oh, hi, dad.
I didn't think you were coming.
I wouldn't miss it.
I was waiting for
you downstairs.
Guess I got distracted.
Uh, I got this for you. Thanks.
I'm going to the club
with jules later.
Which one?
I remember you used to
play this game with me
When you were little,
maybe 9 or 10 years old.
Except the clothes
actually fit now.
Yeah, they do.
Dad, are you okay?
Yeah, I was just...
Thinking back.
I can't imagine you being
with anyone but mom.
You're never coming
back, are you?
Oh, yeah, all right!
Have you been drinking?
No. I have.
I didn't let him drive.
T.J., you know you shouldn't
drink with your meds.
I'm not on my meds.
For how long?
Who... who knows?
Should we get him some coffee?
Elaine: He might need
more than coffee.
The room is spinning here.
Come on, sit down.
I'm gonna sit down. Yeah.
♪ I won't fight
♪ I like this game val!
Happy birthday! It's
gonna be awesome!
♪ And I don't know, know
♪ I don't know what
I can do for you ♪
He's asleep.
I heard about the arrest today.
The booking officer
gave me a call.
I was going to tell you.
I was covering a story.
Forget it. None of my business.
Ollie had a bad dream, and he
wanted to know where I was.
Well, I considered telling
him you had an affair.
Drew, please. He senses
something's wrong.
He stole stuff from school.
He what? School supplies.
He won't look at me.
He won't talk to me.
He's anxious. He's not himself.
I don't know what to do.
You should've thought
of that before.
Drew, listen to me.
He knows. We have
to talk to him.
T.J.'s sleeping it off.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault, baby.
Awesome birthday, right?
Okay, you two, let's,
uh, go in the kitchen
And have some cake.
Hey, uh, I got this for you.
Keep it. I don't need
anything from you.
Teenagers... it's never easy.
I remember when t.J.
Was his age.
Why is t.J. Off his meds?
How should I know?
He's upset... About
a lot of things.
Your situation doesn't help any.
That's not what this
is about, thatcher.
We both know what it is.
You did it, didn't you?
You had that girl killed.
And why would I do that?
You thought she'd turned on us.
I didn't think it, jack.
She did.
So you admit it?
I don't admit to anything.
And you know what?
You either work for
me or you don't,
And right now, you don't.
So this is none
of your business.
You walked away
from this family.
I gave you everything,
and what did you do?
You pissed it all away!
For what?
Some other guy's wife?
With a family of her own.
Your pathetic midlife crisis.
We're not talking about me now.
No, we're not.
We're talking about me
Because I know that
life is complicated.
I apologize for nothing.
You've had too many drinks, angelo.
Stop, please!
Stop, please!
Angelo, stop!
No, please! Get off her!
Get out of here!
Just leave us alone! Angelo,
no, don't hurt him!
Unh!
Listen to me... Ohh!
It's okay! Just go! Easy, kid!
Don't! It's okay! Please just go!
Take it easy!
Just walk away. Never touch her again!
Say it!
Say it! I'm begging you...
I'll never touch...
That whore... Again.
No...
Unh! Aah!
Unh!
No!
Whatever zarek did...
That's on you.
You set it into motion.
We all make mistakes, jack.
Only some of them
are redeemable.
Sara: Grown-ups sometimes need
some time away from each other.
So we came up with this plan
That I'm gonna spend some
nights at my studio,
And then other nights, I'm
gonna be here with you.
And that way, we both get to
spend a lot of time with you.
Okay?
And this has nothing
to do with you.
It's nothing you did.
Okay?
Mommy and I will...
Will always be your parents,
and we'll always be a family.
We love you so much. We
love you so much, honey.
You're the most important thing
in the world to us, ollie.
Do you understand?
Is there anything
you want to say?
I stole some things
from my classroom.
I'm sorry.

Thatcher karsten. Seems

I like your old name better.

I might head to detroit.

really happening now, so...
Some guys from the
old neighborhood...
They're starting a jazz label.

I remember when we brought
oliver home from the hospital.
He was so tiny and helpless,
and I was so scared.
But you knew what to do.
This makes no sense.
We've been good together.
We loved each other.
I think... We still do.
Yeah, of course. Let's
just try again.
Can we? I mean, not just for
oliver's sake but for all of us.
You made a mistake.
We can get over it.
I can get over it.
I know I haven't been
the best husband.
Drew, please...
No, you're right.
I took you for granted, and
for that, I am... So sorry.
But I can be better.
Just... Let's try again.
I love you.
You... Can't you hear
what I'm saying?
Yeah, uh, yeah. It's...
it's just, um...
it's so hard to talk about.
It's just... It's
not a casual thing.
I have feelings...
Don't say any more.
I get it.
You're done.
You're just done.
Thanks for bringing me
in on this, thatch.
Here's what's happening.
I told this importer
we'd meet him here.
There's a big shipment
of steel coming in.
This guy is giving
me a hard time.
So I, uh, I need you
to work with him,
If you know what I mean.
This I can handle. Yeah.
You know, I've also been
talking with the union.
It's just like jack says...
You're not jack.
And you never will be.
Oh, sara.
Come back to bed.
Oliver needs a mother.
Not half time, all the time.
How can I be so selfish?
You're not being selfish.
It's different for you.
Your kids are grown up.
Oliver's six.
You'll still be his mother
e-every moment of every day.
Oh, we can tell ourselves
that, but I'm afraid.
I'm afraid he'll never be happy.
I just want him to be happy.
I just want him to be happy.
Drew: Hey, bud.
What are you drawing?
Me, mommy, and you.
Mm. That's awesome.
I especially like
my fluffy hair.
In the picture you
need a haircut.
You know, when I was a kid,
Some things happened
that were hard for me.
Sometimes I was a little scared.
Did grandma ever have
to sleep at her studio?
Not exactly, but she had to
raise us kids on her own.
'cause your dad went away.
That's right.
Where did he go? I don't know.
He had some big problems.
Just left.
And grandma had to work...
Really hard.
And sometimes I wished things
weren't the way they were,
But you know what?
What?
Everybody has challenges.
Like in baseball.
Exactly like that.
Like, if the game
doesn't go your way...
O-or you forget
your mitt one time.
Are you still
thinking about that?
I really wanted my mitt.
It's not easy to remember
things all the time, ollie.
Grown-ups forget.
They make mistakes and mess up.
I want you to know I'll
always be here for you.
Always.
I know, dad.
Good.
So...
Mommy's gonna come
by this afternoon,
And she's gonna stay
for a couple days.
And then I'll be back.
Cool? Cool.
They're good people.
Two boys at home, but they
always wanted a daughter.
Been trying to adopt for years.
What do they know about
our arrangement?
Uh, an anonymous
patron set up a trust.
They're grateful for the help.
I'd like to know
how she's doing,
You know, the occasional update.
My department will make
sure you get that.
She'll have a happy childhood.

Previously on "betrayal"...
Brandy is no good for you.
I'm gonna marry her.
The best thing would
be for that girl
To disappear from
both our lives!
Brandy, are you home?
You lying coward! You...
I've met someone.
What does that mean?
It means he's cheating on mom.
Get out! Oliver: Mommy?
Don't let him see this, okay?
Mommy? Oliver.
Let's not be alone tonight.
Hey. Hey.
It's 4:00 a.M.
I know. I've been up since 2:00.
I was afraid I'd oversleep.
Oliver won't be awake for hours.
I know.
Come back to bed. Mm.
What we've done here
is not a small thing.
No.
Oliver, vic, val.
It's gonna change
their lives forever.
It's gonna become
part of who they are.
I know it might seem
impossible, but...
I really think that one
day they'll understand.
They won't.
Maybe they'll grow
up believing that...
Happiness is worth fighting
for, worth changing for.
I like that. Say it again.
Really?
No.
Just tell me we're not
ruining their lives.
We'll be there for them.
We'll love them
more than anything.
That's... that's what matters.
And that's what'll
get us through this.
Oh, I should go.
It's dark outside.
Let me... Let me
walk you to the car.
Mm.
I love you.
I like that. Say it again.
I talked to my guys
at the morgue.
The korskaya case is closed.
What, that she drowned?
In a tub?
Overdose.
It's not so surprising.
These girls all get
messed up in the end.
So, you cops don't think
someone might've killed her.
Not that I've heard. Do you?
She had a little girl... amy.
Did they find the father yet?
Mnh-mnh, no record of the guy.
They're looking for
a permanent home,
But that'll take
some time, you know.
People aren't exactly looking to
adopt some dead hooker's kid.
Watch your mouth.
So, uh, mcallister ain't
working for you anymore?
I mean, I hope you
don't mind me asking.
I just thought he was,
you know, family.
Actually, I do mind.
Are we done?
I didn't hear you come in.
I packed oliver's lunch.
Thanks. There's some coffee.
I'll get some at the office.
This is hard, I know.
Hard?
Wow.
Hey, honey.
Mm, you ever get to sleep?
Mm-hmm.
You want to play jenga while
I make breakfast? No.
Okay. You want some oatmeal?
I got to run. I got
an early meeting.
Bye, buddy. Wait!
What about mommy?
Oh, daddy's in a hurry.
Kiss mommy goodbye.
Have a good day.
No.
A real kiss.
Like in a wedding.
♪
Welcome back to work.
It's good to see you here, son.
I don't want to move into
jack's office today.
Yeah, sure, I understand.
I don't think brandy
wanted to die.
She wanted to take care of amy.
Sometimes it's hard to know what
goes on inside someone's head.
Maybe, but sometimes it isn't.
T.J...
I know it must've been awful
finding her like that.
But try not to dwell on it.
Okay?
Sara hanley? Nate greene?
That's me.
The reporter from new york?
Precisely.
Y-you want to come in? Yeah.
Oh, man!
My apartment is the
size of your bed! Oh!
Is it worth it, really,
living in manhattan?
You know what?
Don't answer that.
I'll just get depressed,
and when I get depressed,
I have to lie in bed
blowing mithril
On hobbit armies
of the third age.
You have a band-aid
by any chance?
New sneakers.
Sure.
So, I really like your article
on that hypocrite c.E.O.
Michael boyd? Yeah.
What a douche!
Your pictures were crazy good.
You got an eye for sadism.
That's a compliment. Thanks.
Ah, buzz lightyear.
How old's your kid?
He'll be seven in a month.
Does he live here with you?
No, his, uh, dad and I...
It's kind of complicated right now.
Oh, yeah.
My parents got divorced
when I was nine.
Sucked at first, but then it
became strangely awesome.
Two birthday parties.
So, I know you didn't come all
the way here for a band-aid.
You know all those
foreclosures from the crash?
Homeless families
in the south side
Are using boarded-up
houses for shelter.
They're getting ousted by
real-estate developers,
Rousted by city officials,
flousted by cops.
"flousted" isn't a word, but...
My intel says things
are going down
In auburn gresham right now.
It's heavy!
These people have no rights.
I want us to tell their story.
Aren't you gonna
get your camera?
I-I booked this job on...
Home beekeeping.
Hanley, you're wasting
your talents!
Take a risk!
Get messy.
Zarek: Thatcher. You
wanted to see me?
Brandy korskaya.
Drowned in her bathtub.
Under the influence.
How does that happen?
I guess it was a
convenient tragedy.
So you figured it
out all by yourself
To show some initiative.
Is that it?
Yeah.
I knew what you wanted.
You were wrong.
I did what needed to be done.
You don't decide that... ever!
I watched you when I was a kid.
What I am, I learned
it from you.
You killed a mother.
You made her child an orphan.
What do I tell my son?
From now on,
You do exactly what I tell
you and nothing else,
You understand?
Now get out.
Is there a code word?
Drew: What?
This bench thing is neat
Very "three days of the condor."
I'm sorry. Who are you?
The queen of France. And you?
Drew stafford. Drew stafford.
I knew it.
Quincy theringer.
I was supposed to meet serena.
She quit 'cause you
annoyed her so much.
I mean, you did annoy her,
but that's not why she quit.
Well, what, then? Her
house burned down.
Her granny died.
She broke her toe.
I'm really not at
liberty to say.
Okay, ms. Theringer.
No one calls me that.
You're the head of the task force now?
Affirmative.
The case is closed. Your c.I.
O.D.'d in the tub.
I spent some time with her.
That girl was clean.
You look pretty clean yourself.
Ever known a drug addict?
Don't answer that. They're
professional liars.
Will you just look
at this, please?
It's t.J. Karsten's impala.
It was parked at the garage
where lil' d was... who?
Darius miller... the kid they're
saying shot lou mrozek.
His boss told me that lil' d
found mrozek's .38 in a car.
Now, if I can get him to
admit the car in question
Well, it's what I
thought all along.
Karsten family killed
one of their own.
It's a murder. Go tell
your murder people.
I can't.
Howard goss doesn't want
to hear this from me.
Well, I'm sure when you show mr.
Goss
A clipping of an
antique-car auction,
He'll revise his opinion of you.
Just ask serena.
I may have annoyed her,
but she and I had...
Serena is gone. This
is a murder case.
Take it up with your
office, lil' drew.
What are you wearing...
I mean, doing?
I'm wearing what I always wear,
and I am packing up lenses.
Are you nervous
about your meeting?
I shouldn't be.
I went to law school
with this guy.
His firm's one of karsten
allied's biggest rivals,
So could be a good fit.
You sound hopeful. I like that.
You're, uh, off to shoot
some home beekeeping?
Uh, actually, no. Something
interesting came up.
More interesting that
domesticated bees?
I don't want to jinx it. I'll
tell you about it later. Okay.
Look, I wish we could
have dinner, but I-I got
My, uh, kids' birthday
tonight, so...
Well, I'll be
thinking about you.
I'm always thinking about you.
Look, son, I understand
what you're going through.
I do, really.
But everyone experiences loss.
I went through it
when I was your age.
And I survived.
If it doesn't kill you,
it makes you stronger?
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
What does that even mean?
♪ I may get weary
♪ women do get weary
♪ wearing the same
shabby dress ♪
♪ but when I'm weary
♪ try a little
♪ try a little tenderness
what in the hell?!
The nerve, really! I am
so sorry, miss dumond.
Okay, yeah, how are you
gonna fix it, huh?
Oh, I don't know.
Maybe if I do this.
Mmm.
Angelo: Suzanne?
I'm tired of pretending.
But some people
won't understand.
I don't care. I love you.
Suzanne?!
Get back to work.
I don't know what you're
up to, but get on out.
You're fired.
Dad?
Dad?! Hmm?
I don't want to
work here anymore.
T.J.! I want to live on my own.
That's not practical. It is.
Some things I haven't done
because you told me not to,
I want to see a new doctor
about changing my meds.
T.J., I know you're in pain.
But don't use that as an excuse
to blow up your whole life.
Just a minute!
Keep working here.
Live with me.
It'll get better. I promise.
The truth is, I-I'm
ready for a change.
Yeah, so are we.
I think our firm could be a
great fit for you. All right.
I've got a lot of
experience with land use,
Permitting, entitlements,
commercial leasing,
Some litigation, too. Yeah.
Are we speaking in code here?
Code? Jack...
When I said we were interested
in your particular skill set,
I meant that we were looking
for someone to come in
And help us grease the
unions, you know,
Bend the e.P.A. On our
wetlands project.
You want a fixer. Right.
We just need you to
do what you do, man.
Oh, sorry.
I got to run.
All right, here.
Take a look at this.
And we'll be in touch.
All right, great catching up, man.
All right, thanks.
Back off, back off!
Okay, team, here's the plan.
I'm gonna try and get a
statement while you...
Document the flousting.
It's risky, but you got to
take risk by the balls!
Just... Kill it!
Kill the risk! That's the
weirdest pep talk ever.
You stop!
Move back!
You got to be kidding me!
Stay back! No pictures!
Okay, that's it!
Let go!
Let go! Nate greene!
This is my colleague,
sara hanley!
Yeah, well, you're
both under arrest!
Obstruction of justice! Sara:
We're not obstructing anything!
We have a right to be here!
Ow! You should use that, huh?
You know a good lawyer?
Actually, I know two.
Ah, what an amazing day!
Vic: Yeah!
I mean, look at the sky!
I'm so psyched that we
came out here today!
Hey, I'm pretty sure you're not
supposed to have booze with your pills.
No. I'm not on my pills!
No, I-I-I'm tired of
anything holding me back!
From now on, anything
that holds me back,
I don't have time for!
Is that okay?
I mean, what'd the doctor say?
It's fine!
Look, things are gonna change.
They're gonna get better!
It's good! It is!
It is! I'm in the clear!
Don't be worried.
Now, come on, I-I picked you
up to bring you out here
To have a good time
on your birthday!
Now let's have some fun!
We weren't doing anything, jack!
They arrested us for
just standing there.
Just standing there with a camera.
Is that a crime?
No, nein, nyet.
Should we file a complaint?
Ne... that's bulgarian.
Yes, I'll file a complaint.
Good, I'll go back, get more shots.
That's my girl!
It's nice to meet you, nate.
Hey, thanks for bailing us out.
I'll call you with our next move.
What next move?
Forget about the bees, hanley.
You're an outlaw now.
You all right?
Yeah, I
I just can't stop thinking
about this little boy.
He was barely oliver's age.
You seem energized, motivated.
I'm kind of jealous, actually.
Your meeting didn't go well?
No, I was naive to think I could
get a legit job in chicago.
Hey, you can start again,
do something else.
Let's go. I'll buy you a drink.
I wish, but I-I got
this birthday party.
I hope they'll let me in.
They'll be happy to see you.
Hey.
Did you ever think you'd
have to bail me out of jail?
Let's give you a lift, outlaw.
I'm sorry about before...
Our misunderstanding.
I want to make it up to you.
I know...
I know we need the unions
to raise their estimates
On the streeterville
project, right?
So we can pad the budget
Before your big meeting
with the investors.
What does that have
to do with you?
I can deal with the
union, be a liaison.
I can learn to do the
stuff the way jack did,
How you need it.
I came to you so you
would sign off.
I'll keep you informed
every step of the way.
Give me another shot.
Thatcher: Give me
another shot, angelo.
I won't screw up again.
All right.
No more lazing around.
No more...
Fraternizing with the talent.
Want the job back or not?
Yeah, I need it.
All right, then.
Keep your eyes down
and your mouth shut.
We'll see how it goes.
Suzanne: Yeah.
Hey, kid...
I see you look at that
colored girl again...
I'm gonna stick you with this.
You got it?
Okay.
One more shot.
Did you have fun in art class?
Mine is red with blue
stripes, like a tiger.
I can't wait to see it.
Ollie... Did you take this?
What sound does a giraffe make?
Oliver, did you... Did you
take these from school?
I won't be mad.
It's a giraffe dog.
Um, okay, well...
Have you been worried
about anything?
Something on your mind?
What is it, honey?
I had a bad dream.
I called you, but
you didn't come.
Oh. Did daddy come?
Uh-huh. But I wanted you.
Where were you, mommy?
Daddy didn't tell me.
Hey, jack.
Hey. What are you doing here?
I drove thatcher over.
Congratulations.
Your kids are
practically adults.
Yeah.
I could use a little
advice, if you don't mind.
I got to meet with a union rep
About the streeterville budget.
I reached out to dibinsky.
He gave me the brush-off.
Who else can I talk to?
I don't know. I don't
really care anymore.
We've had our disagreements.
But we're still family, right?
We can't let the old man down.
Just because you're, you know,
in the situation you are,
It don't mean you
should abandon him.
I'm sorry. You're on your own.
I cleaned everything
up for you, jack.
For you and for t.J.
What are you talking about?
Don't pretend like you
don't know how it is.
Someone had to get
rid of that girl.
I didn't know you were coming.
Well, it's their birthday.
Of course I was gonna come.
Yeah, but you can't
just show up.
You have to let me know.
I called a few times.
You don't live here anymore.
It's my house, too.
No, it isn't. It really isn't.
You need an engineer to open a
bottle of wine around here.
Jack.
Thatcher.
Hard to believe the
kids are 17 now.
You're feeling
nostalgic, gramps?
Where are the kids?
Vic is on his way
here with t.J.,
And val is upstairs
raiding my closet.
I guess you're stuck with us.
Hey, birthday girl. Oh, hi, dad.
I didn't think you were coming.
I wouldn't miss it.
I was waiting for
you downstairs.
Guess I got distracted.
Uh, I got this for you. Thanks.
I'm going to the club
with jules later.
Which one?
I remember you used to
play this game with me
When you were little,
maybe 9 or 10 years old.
Except the clothes
actually fit now.
Yeah, they do.
Dad, are you okay?
Yeah, I was just...
Thinking back.
I can't imagine you being
with anyone but mom.
You're never coming
back, are you?
Oh, yeah, all right!
Have you been drinking?
No. I have.
I didn't let him drive.
T.J., you know you shouldn't
drink with your meds.
I'm not on my meds.
For how long?
Who... who knows?
Should we get him some coffee?
Elaine: He might need
more than coffee.
The room is spinning here.
Come on, sit down.
I'm gonna sit down. Yeah.

He's asleep.
I heard about the arrest today.
The booking officer
gave me a call.
I was going to tell you.
I was covering a story.
Forget it. None of my business.
Ollie had a bad dream, and he
wanted to know where I was.
Well, I considered telling
him you had an affair.
Drew, please. He senses
something's wrong.
He stole stuff from school.
He what? School supplies.
He won't look at me.
He won't talk to me.
He's anxious. He's not himself.
I don't know what to do.
You should've thought
of that before.
Drew, listen to me.
He knows. We have
to talk to him.
T.J.'s sleeping it off.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault, baby.
Awesome birthday, right?
Okay, you two, let's,
uh, go in the kitchen
And have some cake.
Hey, uh, I got this for you.
Keep it. I don't need
anything from you.
Teenagers... it's never easy.
I remember when t.J.
Was his age.
Why is t.J. Off his meds?
How should I know?
He's upset... About
a lot of things.
Your situation doesn't help any.
That's not what this
is about, thatcher.
We both know what it is.
You did it, didn't you?
You had that girl killed.
And why would I do that?
You thought she'd turned on us.
I didn't think it, jack.
She did.
So you admit it?
I don't admit to anything.
And you know what?
You either work for
me or you don't,
And right now, you don't.
So this is none
of your business.
You walked away
from this family.
I gave you everything,
and what did you do?
You pissed it all away!
For what?
Some other guy's wife?
With a family of her own.
Your pathetic midlife crisis.
We're not talking about me now.
No, we're not.
We're talking about me
Because I know that
life is complicated.
I apologize for nothing.
You've had too many drinks, angelo.
Stop, please!
Stop, please!
Angelo, stop!
No, please! Get off her!
Get out of here!
Just leave us alone! Angelo,
no, don't hurt him!
Unh!
Listen to me... Ohh!
It's okay! Just go! Easy, kid!
Don't! It's okay! Please just go!
Take it easy!
Just walk away. Never touch her again!
Say it!
Say it! I'm begging you...
I'll never touch...
That whore... Again.
No...
Unh! Aah!
Unh!
No!
Whatever zarek did...
That's on you.
You set it into motion.
We all make mistakes, jack.
Only some of them
are redeemable.
Sara: Grown-ups sometimes need
some time away from each other.
So we came up with this plan
That I'm gonna spend some
nights at my studio,
And then other nights, I'm
gonna be here with you.
And that way, we both get to
spend a lot of time with you.
Okay?
And this has nothing
to do with you.
It's nothing you did.
Okay?
Mommy and I will...
Will always be your parents,
and we'll always be a family.
We love you so much. We
love you so much, honey.
You're the most important thing
in the world to us, ollie.
Do you understand?
Is there anything
you want to say?
I stole some things
from my classroom.
I'm sorry.

and I was so scared.
But you knew what to do.
This makes no sense.
We've been good together.
We loved each other.
I think... We still do.
Yeah, of course. Let's
just try again.
Can we? I mean, not just for
oliver's sake but for all of us.
You made a mistake.
We can get over it.
I can get over it.
I know I haven't been

Drew, please...
No, you're right.
I took you for granted, and
for that, I am... So sorry.
But I can be better.
Just... Let's try again.
I love you.
You... Can't you hear

Yeah, uh, yeah. It's...
it's just, um...
it's so hard to talk about.
It's just... It's

You're just done.
Thanks for bringing me
in on this, thatch.
Here's what's happening.
I told this importer
we'd meet him here.
There's a big shipment
of steel coming in.
This guy is giving
me a hard time.
So I, uh, I need you
to work with him,
If you know what I mean.
This I can handle. Yeah.
You know, I've also been
talking with the union.
It's just like jack says...
You're not jack.
And you never will be.
Oh, sara.
Come back to bed.
Oliver needs a mother.
Not half time, all the time.
How can I be so selfish?
You're not being selfish.
It's different for you.
Your kids are grown up.
Oliver's six.
You'll still be his mother
e-every moment of every day.
Oh, we can tell ourselves
that, but I'm afraid.
I'm afraid he'll never be happy.
I just want him to be happy.
I just want him to be happy.
Drew: Hey, bud.
What are you drawing?
Me, mommy, and you.
Mm. That's awesome.
I especially like
my fluffy hair.
In the picture you
need a haircut.
You know, when I was a kid,
Some things happened
that were hard for me.
Sometimes I was a little scared.
Did grandma ever have
to sleep at her studio?
Not exactly, but she had to
raise us kids on her own.
'cause your dad went away.
That's right.
Where did he go? I don't know.
He had some big problems.
Just left.
And grandma had to work...
Really hard.
And sometimes I wished things
weren't the way they were,
But you know what?
What?
Everybody has challenges.
Like in baseball.
Exactly like that.
Like, if the game
doesn't go your way...
O-or you forget
your mitt one time.
Are you still
thinking about that?
I really wanted my mitt.
It's not easy to remember
things all the time, ollie.
Grown-ups forget.
They make mistakes and mess up.
I want you to know I'll
always be here for you.
Always.
I know, dad.
Good.
So...
Mommy's gonna come
by this afternoon,
And she's gonna stay
for a couple days.
And then I'll be back.
Cool? Cool.
They're good people.
Two boys at home, but they
always wanted a daughter.
Been trying to adopt for years.
What do they know about
our arrangement?
Uh, an anonymous
patron set up a trust.
They're grateful for the help.
I'd like to know
how she's doing,
You know, the occasional update.
My department will make
sure you get that.
She'll have a happy childhood.
