Betrayal (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 10 - ...Number 16 - full transcript

Previously on "betrayal"...

Hanley, you're wasting
your talents!

Take a risk!

You better not be lying to me.
Why? 'cause you never lie?

You don't even
live here anymore.

This girl could be a gold mine.

What about elaine?
Something happened.

A personal relationship.

I know you think I
stole your money.

I-I... no! I... hey!

Did you kill lou to cover it up?



I didn't kill anybody!

Are you ready to go to
prison for karsten?

The person who put the gun in
t.J.'s car was jack mcallister.

Jack is the one who
killed lou mrozek.

Jack mcallister?

Yeah.

Killed lou mrozek. That's right.

Why?

Because lou was gonna
turn him in to the fbi.

Turn him in for what?

For stealing, mr. Stafford.

Jack was stealing from me.

A very large sum of money.

And jack killed him
before he could talk.



It's all in here.

T.J. Was with lou the
night he was killed.

The gun used to kill lou was
found in your son's car.

All evidence points
to your son, t.J.

That evidence
doesn't hold water.

Why would t.J. Kill lou?

Because you told him to.

I sent my brain-damaged
son to kill his uncle?

You're not thinking very clearly, mr.
Stafford.

He's turned you upside down.

Who?

Jack. It's what he does.
He manipulates people.

I'm not being manipulated
by jack mcallister.

Please. Of course you are.

Look what he's done to you,
what he's taken from you.

You leave her out of this.

Leave her out of it?

You really don't get it, do you?

You think jack sleeping with
your wife was an accident,

That it was a coincidence

That you were assigned
to the mrozek case?

With jack mcallister,
there are no accidents.

Nothing is left to chance.

He played you.

He played me... My
daughter, your wife.

Jack plays everyone.

He's a con man, a thief...

A killer.

♪

Nice kicks.

I like when you say "kicks."

Yeah, I need a plumber.

So, you said you had
a big story for me.

This one gets us the pulitzer.

Or killed. Possibly both.

Hmm. This is a zebra.

Yeah. Yeah, it is. Sorry.
Wrong folder.

Corruption, fraud, threats,

Extortion, kickbacks... Murder!

You're supposed to react
more when I say "murder."

What are we talking about here?

What else? Chicago real
estate, major developers...

Dodson & read, vxg,
karsten allied.

What? Are you worried about
where to put your pulitzer?

It's a small medal. You
can hang it anywhere.

I can't do this, nate.

Is it because of mcallister?

Yeah, well, I don't think
he'd appreciate me

Being involved in
this, not right now.

I guess it will just
be me and him, then.

You and who?

Mcallister. He already
agreed to help.

We were just looking
for a photographer.

Yeah, you're gonna
need a plumber.

Hey. Hi.

Is she ready? I'm taking
her to logan hardware.

You know...

It's not a hardware store?

It's a record store. Yeah.

Um, val's actually
not feeling well.

She has, like, a fever.

"like, a fever."

Right.

Hey, vic.

Hey. How's it going?

Hey, hey, hey, hold on a moment.

I got to go.

Is elaine around?

No, but she left some clothes
for you there in that bag.

It's a great visit.

I'm sorry. Jules,
how are you doing?

Fine. Yeah.

Will you tell val I
hope she feels better?

We'll try again another day.

Of course.

Thank you. Yeah.

Hmm. Velvety.

It's low acidity.

This wine gibberish
is weirdly sexy.

No, it's not gibberish.

Mm-hmm. Let's see.

Oh, elegant.

But, uh, very light-bodied.

Ooh, you're selling it.

Enjoy now, but will
continue to age gracefully.

Hello. Hi.

Your ring.

Yeah.

Yeah, I figured it
was about time.

Makes things less complicated.

Uh-oh. What's the matter?

Now this scares you.

No.

Look, I was thinking you
have been married 20 years.

We've been together five minutes.
Uh-huh.

And it could get messy
with the work situation.

Wait a minute.

Are you breaking up with me?

I think we should break up.

Whoa. Okay.

Uh...

What exactly are we breaking up?

Us.

This.

There is no "us."

"this" is just...

It's jut two people having fun.

Look, elaine, I'm not
the guy you think I am.

I think that you're the
guy who makes me laugh

And makes me brunch and
makes me feel good

And who's not complicated.

And beyond that, I don't
really care who you are.

I mean, no offense.

Okay.

None taken.

It was like "drip, drip,
drip" all morning,

And then "whoosh,"
and the pipe burst.

Did you call your landlord?

No, I called my lawyer.

Well, your lawyer thinks

You might need to
call your landlord.

Honestly, I don't think I
want to raise any issues now.

I'm not supposed
to be living here.

I talked to nate, jack.

I was gonna tell you today.

Why are you doing it?

'cause I need to.

I can't cooperate with a
federal investigation,

But I-I have to do something

To... Account for what
I was involved in.

Well, that's great.
I-I think it's great.

Well, we'll see.

There's things that are gonna
come out that I'm not proud of.

What things?

Difficult things.

But it's not who I am anymore.
You know that, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I'm really ready to
move on from all this.

Number 16.

Number 16.

Number 16.

Sooner or later...

Everybody sits down to a
banquet of consequences.

Hey!

Hey, dad. I have homework.

You're in first grade.

He'll be studying for
his lsats next year.

Not that I expect him to be a...

Okay. Anyway, how are you?

I-I opened the envelope,
the divorce papers.

I'm getting a lawyer, drew.

Of course.

A good lawyer.

Y-you should.

Okay. Doesn't bother you?

It's a process.

Lawyers are part of the process.
I understand.

You seem different. Yeah?

I don't know.

Back into work, I guess.

New case?

Old case. New again.

So, you remember that
series for wicker park,

"25 rising stars"?

Hard to forget.

Well, I still owe the photo.
Like to still do it?

You could come by the studio.

You're serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

Broken marriage.
Working d.U.I.S.

Not exactly rising.

Oh, drew, you're a great lawyer,

And they still really
want you in it.

Yeah. All right. Let's do it.

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is great.

Cool.

Okay.

Bye, babe.

Bye, mom.

Jack: Appreciate the help.

We're not going out, are we?

Sharks.

This is a lake. No sharks.

There are bull sharks.

There are no bull sharks.

I've heard there
are bull sharks.

We're not going out.

I'd prefer that.

Look, before we get started,
I need something from you.

A promise. I protect my sources.

Unless I'm going to jail,

And then I cough them up
in a new york minute.

Joke.

Okay, what's the promise?

Look, promise me
you'll look into this

As part of the investigation.

Construction accident
26 years ago, 2 deaths.

What's the story?

Well, that's what I
need you to tell me.

Who are they, the two people?

My parents.

Elaine: Vic.

This your kid?

Yes, vic mcallister.
What's going on?

He took a stroll
across the street...

That street. Six lanes.

What are you thinking?

It was my fault. I
dared him to do it.

Well, that was stupid.

And you were stupid to do it.

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

I am. You okay?

Yeah.

Number 16. I made it to go.

Let's talk about
karsten allied's

Streeterville development.

It's a long story.

I've got all day.

I have nothing to do.

Hello?

Yeah?

Okay, great. Um...

All right, I'll see
you in an hour.

Make it two.

All right.

Drug dealer.

Close. Real-estate agent.

All right.

Streeterville.

Hello?

Anybody here?

Before you started showing
up here every day,

I enjoyed coming to work.

I genuinely enjoyed it.

How many people can say that?

You told me lil' d found
the gun in t.J.'s car.

Yes.

Then it strikes me. Didn't t.J.
Ask about it?

No. No.

"hey, guys, I left a
murder weapon in my trunk.

It's not like getting
a couple quarters

Swiped out of your
car at the car wash.

It's kind of a big deal.

I told you what happened.

Well, see, I feel like
you're just telling me

What I want to hear.

It's not very helpful to me.

Now, I am done playing
around with you!

You understand me?

Who drove that impala in here?

T.J.

Where was the gun?

In the trunk, in the lid.

Who found it?

I did.

What did t.J. Say when
he realized it was gone?

Nothing.

He didn't realize it was gone.

He never knew it was there.

How do you know that?

Because I took it out.

I showed him the trunk
lid with the gun gone.

He had no idea.

That is the truth.

Whoever put that gun in that car...
it was not t.J.

I'll be back.

We're a long way from
me offering you a beer.

Dude, we need to
have a serious talk.

Elaine: What do you
know about teenagers?

Aidan: They like to
ride skateboards.

They have a lot of sex. They
play with their phones.

We're talking about vic, right?

Yeah.

Did he say why he did it?

He's not a great
communicator right now.

Everything's gonna be fine.

He's a kid. Kids have problems.

What were your kid problems?

Matt mclychok.

He tripped me when I was on
crutches in seventh grade.

That and girls. Girls
were a problem, too.

Oh, yeah? Too many? Yeah.

No... well, it can
get complicated.

What the hell?

License and registration.

And what's the problem, officer?

Problem right now is you leaning
over and talking to me.

License and registration.

Okay.

About a half-mile back, you
made an illegal left turn.

What? No, we didn't.

Ma'am, there was a sign.

Now, sit back in your
seat and stop yelling.

Yelling? I wa... I
wasn't yelling!

I can yell if you want me to!

Let me... let me just... jerk.

Sir...

Oh, my god.

Do not make a move.

Officer... And you...
not a sound.

Just give us a
second there, ma'am.

Can we go on a date?

Sara: The two of us?

Well, unless quincy
theringer shows up,

Yes, just the two of us.

I'd like that.

Tonight, 7:30, grand
avenue bridge.

It's a date.

Yes, it is.

I'm sorry about your girl.

But you got to tell me, boss,
right now, straight up,

How did that gun
get in your car?

That wasn't my gun, rodney.

I got that.

How did it get in your car?

I didn't even know
it was in my car.

For the love of god, brother.

I know who put it there.

Okay. Good. Who?

It wasn't me.

Who was it?

The person who killed lou.

You know who that was?

Y-you call me over
here about jaywalking?

This is chicago.

It was through traffic.
He's not himself.

Well, I wouldn't know. You
know, he doesn't talk to me.

Neither does val.

Really, jack?

Feeling sorry for yourself?

Are you okay? I'm fine.

Elaine.

You know, there's a
thing with aidan

At the... you know, the wine...

Well, that makes one of us.
And what does that mean?

We had this thing with a cop.

Yeah, he pulled us over,
and he was a total jerk.

He threw aidan on the hood.

And then just like that,
he walks away smiling.

No ticket. Nothing. I don't know.
It was weird.

Hmm. I'll check it out.

No, I don't want you
to check it out.

What I want you to do
is talk to our son.

That's what I want you to do.

I'll try.

I'm trying.

I'm busy.

I want to talk about the mrozek case.
Coinkidink.

Because I do not want to
talk about the mrozek case.

Because I don't care
about the mrozek case.

And even if I did care about the
mrozek case, which I do not,

I don't have any jurisdiction
over the mrozek case,

So there wouldn't be
anything to talk about.

Do you still want to talk
about the mrozek case?

Yes.

I think you might think
I'm a therapist.

I am not a therapist.

But therapy could
be good for you.

I need your advice.

I have a suspect, some evidence.

The person who told
me about the suspect,

The person who gave
me said evidence...

I don't trust him.

How would you proceed
if you were me?

Well, what if you
really wanted to?

Then I would ask myself
why I really wanted to.

Please, just help me
out here, will you?

How do I test information
provided by a known liar?

Honestly, I'd make sure the
witnesses were good, drew.

It's always about the witnesses.

There are witnesses, right?

You look beautiful.

Thank you. Sorry I'm late.

How's the studio?

Soggy. I broke down and
called my landlord.

And?

He told me to call my lawyer.

I was thinking we could
get some dinner.

What? I-is there a
food truck coming by?

Over here.

Trust me.

Are we squatting?

'cause I just did
a story on this,

And it doesn't end well.

We're not squatting.

Whose house is this?

Ours.

Frank perkins?

Matthew hendricks.

I was told it was frank perkins.

That was a fake name.

We're not off to a great start.

Matthew hendricks
is my real name.

Well, my real name
is drew stafford.

I'm an assistant
state's attorney.

Thatcher karsten tells
me that you may have

Some information about the
murder of lou mrozek.

Sara: We need some curtains.

Yeah. And a refrigerator.

We don't have a refrigerator?

Or a toaster. Or heating.

Or a bed.

But the plumbing is amazing.

I remember when you said

That you wanted a place
overlooking the river.

It's exactly like I pictured it.

Well, you did actually
show me a picture.

Sara, I know this was...
Presumptuous.

Jack. It's a lease, though.

So, you know, if you
don't like it...

I love it. I love it.

I love that we have
something of ours.

Thanks.

Lou and I were partners
in a company called

Multinational builders corp.

It was a flyer, really...
Something we set up

Just in case we landed

Some spin-off karsten
allied development, okay?

So, anyway, one day,
jack approaches me.

He says he wants
to use the company

For some "transactional
funding" for a new project.

Let's cut to it, frank.

Or matthew or whatever
the hell your name is.

Matthew. Matthew. Great.

Look, jack was embezzling.

He was routing money
out of karsten allied

Through your company...
Is that right?

I-I was not totally aware of
that at the time, but yes.

Okay, look, I kept
my head down, okay?

I admit that.

But I have a family.

Somebody from karsten allied

Eventually caught on
to the missing money.

Lou's name being on the
company looked pretty bad.

So lou panicked. He
went to the feds.

Jack got to him before he
could talk and killed him.

Am I missing anything?

Yeah, lou's wife, connie.

Connie mrozek. What about her?

Jack wanted to kill her, too.

Well, she knew about the money.
She knew jack killed lou.

I helped her escape.

Do you know where
she is right now?

You have a checkered past, mr.
Hendricks...

Failed businesses,
multiple aliases,

Questionable associations.

I'm inclined not to believe
you about any of this.

We're talking about a dead man here, mr.
Stafford.

Now, say what you will about me,

But I've never come close
to that kind of thing,

And I am scared, man.
I am scared of jack.

I've been in hiding ever since

He came looking for me a few
days after he shot lou.

So you can believe me, or
I can disappear again.

This is a donut the
size of south dakota.

Oh, I wish I could
stay here all day.

I'm going to stay here all day.

Thanks.

Have you given any thought
to what you're gonna do now?

Oh, no.

Am I already the slacker guy
hanging around the house?

Stop.

I'm serious.

Nate gave me some homework.

Other than that... I
don't really know.

You must have had other career
ideas when you were young.

What did you want to be?

Spider-man.

Tricky.

We'll need to work on this.

Yeah. Did you turn
up anything on him?

No. Not what I expected.

Thanks.

Hey.

Jack: Hey.

Do you have a few minutes?

I need to talk to you
about something.

Sara: Hi.

What happened?

Oh, a pipe burst. I think
I might be moving.

Really? Where to?

Oh, somewhere with
better plumbing.

Here. Come sit down.

Yeah.

I'm really glad you came.

I am, too.

All right.

Right here? Mm-hmm.

Okay. Right.

All right.

Do I look like I'm rising.

You are.

And oliver is so proud.

Having his dad out there,
catching all the bad guys.

I'm rising.

Yeah. All right.

Great.

Sara...

I think jack might be
one of the bad guys.

Drew, no. I'm serious.
I'm worried for you.

Please don't do this.
I'm worried for you.

You're worried? Sara, please.

Just please just listen.
Drew, come on, now.

I think jack might have
killed lou mrozek.

What?!

Look, just stop for one
second and listen to me.

There is evidence.

The coincidence of
this whole thing...

Jack miraculously
shows up in your life

Right when I'm closing
in on the karstens,

Right when lou goes to the fbi,

And right when lou gets killed.

Think about it.

It makes no sense.

It never has.

Hey. I bought a toaster.

The pop-up kind, not
the one with a door.

I like the bread popping up.

Hey, can you hand me
that screwdriver?

Thank you.

Did you see me at that
party before the balcony?

The balcony?

The night we met.

Uh, you were wearing
a red dress.

But you didn't see me.

Uh, no. I don't think I saw you.

So if I hadn't come
out on the balcony...

You okay?

You wanted the toaster
with the door, didn't you?

Oh, I saw drew this morning.

He came by the studio.

Really? Why?

He's very into the
mrozek case again.

The mrozek case?

He doesn't think t.J. Did it.

Well, he didn't.

But why is he talking
to you about this?

That's totally inappropriate.
I mean, the case is closed.

Who do you think did it?

Who do I think
killed lou mrozek?

I have no idea, sara.

That kid lil' d, I guess.

Not t.J.

But why are we
talking about this?

I was just curious.

About lou mrozek?

You know, I don't want to talk about that.
Is that okay?

Vic's agreed to see me.
I should go.

Aidan: Yo.

Yo.

Thanks for coming.

New menu, hot chef.
I wouldn't miss it.

So, who can I talk
to about getting...

Oh, I don't know... That
table by the window?

Well, that is a table for two.

And, uh, there's three of us.

Three? Mm-hmm.

Oh, is it the seafood guy?

It's not the seafood guy, is it?

No. It's my dad.

You, me, and my dad.

Come on. It'll be fun.

Sauvignon blanc...

Zesty with hints of
peach and wet stone.

Stop with the gibberish.

It's not gibberish.

Wet stone?

Dad, aidan wants to ask
you some questions.

I do? What questions?

I thought so.

About what?

About your business.
About his business?

What about my business?

Yeah, that's why
you're here, right?

No, you invited me to lunch.

I'm enjoying the wine.
Thank you.

Just pretending to
be a wine salesman.

Really? Why?

No, she's kidding.

I'm not kidding.

Do you collect wine, mr.
Karsten?

Why are you pretending
to be a wine salesman?

Well, go ahead.
You can tell him.

You don't have anything
to hide, do you?

Oh, I'm sorry, lainie.

I've got to go. Okay.

Thanks for the lunch.

You better answer her question.

Hey.

I'm doing this for mom.

Hey. You feeling better?

Yeah.

I'm going out with
vic for a bit.

Maybe when I come back,
we could catch up.

Yeah, that sounds great, dad.

All right.

Wait. Jack.

Hey, can I talk
to you for a sec?

Sure. When I come back.

I got a call from the fbi.

The fbi?

About karsten. Quincy
something-or-other.

Okay.

I don't know what to do.

That's okay. It's all right.

Do you remember when you asked
me to destroy documents?

That was a good thing. Trust me.

That's not a problem.

There is a problem.

The problem is I didn't
destroy the documents.

I kept a copy.

Where are they?

I think they're safe.

Did you say anything to
her, quincy theringer?

Okay. All right. We'll
talk when I get back.

You and me... we'll figure
this out, all right?

Okay.

Drew: Why would
jack set up t.J.?

Oh, there's a history there.

A long history.

Jealousy, bitterness.

T.J. Is my son.

Jack was always envious of that.

He defended him, though.

He had no choice.

Anyway, that's jack...
Playing all the angles.

Frame him, then get him off.

Act like the hero.

I'm gonna need more
records, more witnesses.

Whatever you need.

You may have to testify.

Of course.

I'm gonna need immunity.

Broad immunity.

Is that what this is all about?

I'm exposed here already.
I need some protection.

You must understand that.

I'm not gonna immunize
your entire life for this.

You need to think very carefully, mr.
Stafford,

About how you're
going to proceed.

You have a real opportunity

To reclaim your
life, your career,

To recover your reputation
on the very case

That brought you
considerable disrepute.

Versus what?

A bird in the hand, mr.
Stafford?

I haven't seen you
for a while, vic.

I was hoping we could talk.

About what?

Anything. How's school?

Fine.

Any more meets this fall?

I'm not wrestling.

You know, I could send you
an e-mail of my schedule,

If that's what you want.

It's not what I want.

I want to talk to you.

You know, when I was your
age, my dad was dead.

Lucky you.

That's enough!

I don't deserve this from you!

Vic, I-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for that.

Look, I'm sorry for
what I did to your mom.

I'm sorry I'm not
at home anymore.

I'm sorry for everything.

I just want to be your dad.

Please.

Just tell me what's
bothering you.

Please.

I know who killed uncle lou.

What?

And I think you do, too, dad.

Bye. Thanks for coming.

Can I just say...

I don't know anything about
my dad's business or jack's,

So whatever time that you
spent here or in my house,

Sniffing around like a little
fbi rodent was all a waste.

It was my job.

Your job was to
have sex with me?

So you're a prostitute.

So if that's not your job,
then you suck at your job.

You suck at your real
job and your fake job.

You suck.

You said you didn't
care who I was.

That was before I knew that
you were a total dick,

And I want you to
take offense at that.

I really do like you, elaine.

Well, I don't like you.

They're looking into the
mrozek murder again.

It's someone in your family.

Thought that you should know.

You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Thank you for telling
me about him.

You talked to the kids, told
them to reach out to me.

You're their father.

I appreciate it.

Look, I just left vic at home.

You need to go there now.

Is everything okay?

I have to go. I'll
explain later.

Hey.

Good boy.

Thanks for meeting me.

Who are you?

Quincy theringer, fbi.

I'm not meeting you.

You just showed up here.

Oh, yes. That's right. I did.

Anyway, this could be a
productive relationship.

I'm in a relationship.

You help me with karsten,
I help you with the irs.

I don't have any
problems with the irs.

And I can't help
you with karsten.

You don't have anything
incriminating against karsten?

I don't even know
what that means.

You're not hiding anything. No.

Documents? No.

What if we searched your house?

Searched my house? No.

Well, we'll find out
in about 20 minutes.

What are you saying, jack?

O-okay, okay.

Okay, I will.

I promise.

Okay, bye.

Everything all right, boss?

Can you drive me somewhere?

I got a shop to run here.

The person I told you
about who killed lou...

He's in trouble.

Please.

Do you remember that
night a few months ago

When you called me asking for
help to find the magic book?

Where's oliver?

He's at ethan's.
Do you remember?

Yeah.

The giraffe book. You were away.

I was with jack.

You want to talk to a detective?

Drew: You were with
jack that night?

I was here alone with oliver,
and you were with jack.

Yes.

Why are you telling
me this now, sara?

Why are you trying to hurt me?

I'm trying to help you here.

Lou mrozek was
killed that night.

You sure you know
what you're doing?

Sara: Do you know what time?

Yes. Why? What time?

Why? He was killed
between 8:10 and 8:25.

You called me at 8:23 asking
for help to find the book.

Jack was standing next to
me when I talked to you.

We were at dune acres,

An hour away from
where lou was killed.

Jack didn't kill lou mrozek.
It's impossible.

My name is jack mcallister.

I'm here to make a confession.

I killed lou mrozek.
