Betrayal (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 13 - ...A Better Place - full transcript

With no hard evidence?
You're the fixer. Fix it.

Previously on "betrayal"...

Nice fall.

Well done, jack.

Everything that's
happening is my fault.

No, it isn't.

You did what you had to
do to defend yourself.

What the hell was that?

Sara, my name's robert.

I'm a doctor.

There's an ambulance on the way.



Sats only 82. B.P.'s dropping.

I'm gonna need a
laryngeal airway.

Robert: sara, sara,
it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay, sara.

Freeze!

Hands in the air!

Hands where we can see them!
Don't move!

Please move south
on lasalle, people.

Well, did she go outside?

I-I don't know.

Sara?

Sara!

Hey, get off me!

We got the son of
a bitch, captain!



Hey, let me go! Let me go!

Hey!

♪

Woman: Sir?

How is she?

Mr. Stafford, let us get
her settled in her room,

And I'll be out to
talk to you, okay?

Just answer me. Is she okay?

Bullet traveled straight
through her chest.

Heart and spine were spared,
but tore a major artery.

We can. We did. But she
lost a lot of blood.

Whether or not her brain took a hit.
"took a hit"?

Just wait right here, and
I'll be out to explain.

Explain it to me now.

Her brain was possibly
deprived of oxygen.

Whether or not she suffered
any permanent damage...

It's all about the
next 24 hours.

Man: Blue team to icu, please.
Blue team, icu.

Jack, I got your message.
What's going on?

Elaine... what?

What did he do?

Vic... he shot someone.

What?

He shot sara. He
tried to kill her.

I remember one of
our first dates.

You, um... you dared me

To go on a polar
swim in the lake.

You counted to three,
and you jumped in.

I just... I stood there.

And you actually did it.

You were so mad at me.

But I remember thinking... "wow.

This girl is tougher than
I could ever imagine."

Do that again.

That's good.

That's real good. Okay, hold on.

Doctor!

My wife's waking up.

Ginstling: The grand jury
is going to indict you.

They're deliberating.

They are not deliberating.

A good prosecutor can
get a grand jury

To indict a ham sandwich.

Drew stafford is a
good prosecutor.

I pay you a lot of money.
Fix it.

It's not so simple.
Mikolaj is cooperating.

He said you ordered
the hit on jack.

Now, that's gonna add charges
to the indictment...

Solicitation of murder,
conspiracy to commit murder.

If they come, I
want you to arrange

A dignified way for
me to surrender.

And I'm gonna need some
time to handle things.

Can I help you?

Uh, no, I'm okay.

Who are you here to see?

Her.

Sara, I'm dr. Hoffman.

Do you know where
you are right now?

A hospital.

You know who this guy is?

He's my husband.

Have a seat. I'll let you
know when you can go in.

Oh. You know what?
Uh, I should go.

I just wanted to make
sure she's all right.

What the hell is going on?

Quincy theringer, fbi.

All karsten allied
assets are being frozen,

And these offices are
closed for business.

You need to send
your staff home.

Have they come here
to humiliate me?

Not at all, sir. This
is unreasonable.

He hasn't even
been indicted yet.

Correction, counselor. He has.

It's juicy reading...
Lots of bad things.

Am I under arrest?

The u.S. Attorney,
against my advice,

Is granting you 24 hours
to surrender yourself.

In the meantime, I'll
be surveilling you.

Stray more than 10 miles
from the city center

Or put yourself into
any circumstances

That are suspicious,
and we will swoop in

And haul you away like a
run-of-the-mill crook.

Hi, pop.

D.J.

I didn't expect you to be here.

I wanted to talk to...

May I come in?

I know they're arresting you.
I heard.

Yeah.

There's gonna be a trial.

I'll probably wind
up going to jail.

I'm not sure for how long.

You beat him before. You...
you can do it again.

In the meantime, I
set up a trust fund

There's plenty of money in
there for the both of you

And for the kids, too.

Elaine's gonna be the trustee.

You understand what that means?

She's in charge.

That's right.

But if there's
anything you need,

She'll take care of it...

Until I get out.

Lainie...

I'm so sorry.

Get out of this house.

I don't want to see you.

I never want to see you again.

Get out!

You can try again,

Once things settle down.

Is it true, pop?

Did you try and
have jack killed?

It's, uh...

It's complicated.

People are complicated...

The things they do,
why they do them.

I understand complicated
things, pop,

More than you may think.

Take good care of your sister.

How are you holding up?

I, uh...

I won't be able to visit
you anymore after this.

Yeah, I know.

We're petitioning the court
to have you transferred

To a psychiatric youth facility.

You can't.

I'm 17... An adult
under the law.

Well, we're gonna fight that.

Look, vic. There's something
I need you to understand.

I let you down.

I taught you some things
that were wrong...

Very wrong...

That probably led you
to being in here.

And for that...

I am truly sorry.

You told me once...
To never apologize.

Well, that was one
of those things.

Jack...

Have you come to finish the job?

Just give me two minutes.

I want to explain about...
Explain what?

I know it looks bad, but I'm
gonna get vic some help.

If it weren't for your help,

Vic would be home right now.

And if it weren't for your help,

My parents would still be alive.

Your parents' death
was an accident.

My foreman cut some corners
with the scaffolding.

The joints froze up in the cold.

It was windy.

So you took me in, and
that makes up for it?

No.

But I'm standing here

Because repairing my
mistakes is important to me.

Yeah.

Well, you might have
thought of that

Before you sent that
guy to kill me.

Are they here?

Ginstling: On their way up.

I'll just... just be a minute.

Elaine: My father
wasn't a religious man,

But when I learned that
his friends from trojkovo

Wanted to pay tribute
to him here,

It, uh, somehow made sense.

Community, family, loyalty...

This was his religion. This
is what he believed in.

I've spent much of my life
being angry at my father.

He did some bad things. But...

And I forget who
first said this...

Um, "forgiveness is an
attribute of the strong."

And if there's one thing
that my father did well,

It was to raise me and
my brother to be strong.

So...

To honor my father
today, I forgive him.

You know, he spent his
life desperately working

Towards this dream
of making it big,

Making his mark on the world,

But the true legacy that we
leave is our children...

And our grandchildren.

That's all that really matters.

It's so important
to get it right.

All right, now. Invalid
coming through.

Don't come in the kitchen.

I have a surprise. Okay.

Well, I had no idea walking
up a flight of stairs

Would be this hard.
Give it time.

You went to the funeral?

What a mess. I actually
felt bad for them.

So, listen, you're
gonna stay here

Until you're back on your feet.

Which shouldn't be too long.

As much time as you need.

Drew...

Sorry.

Oliver: Bon appétit.

What is this?

Cinnamon toast.

Daddy showed me how to
make it all by myself.

Oh, well, thanks, love bug!

Mm! This is perfect.

We've been watching you.
We're tracking you.

What exactly is the difference
between watching and tracking?

What he means to say is,

The democratic
leadership is impressed.

We know you have
political aspirations.

We think that now
is your moment.

I've certainly thought about
running for state's attorney.

No, no! Forget state's attorney.

I'm talking u.S. Congress.

We have a vacant seat
in the fifth district,

And you're our most
viable candidate.

You're insane. No, no.
We're methodical.

We've done the research.
We think you can win.

You're smart, good-looking,
brought down one of chicago's

Most notorious criminals.

This is what you've been working
for your entire career.

The timing's complicated.

Well, if you're referring
to your wife's affair...

Well, we should talk about that.

I say we own it, dispense
with it up front,

Move on to the real issues.

You do realize we're in the
process of getting divorced?

You're not divorced yet.

You haven't even filed
the papers, so don't.

Methodical, remember?

He told me there's a
girl in his class

With a crush on him.

Wouldn't tell me her name.

A crush? Already?

He still looks so
small when he sleeps.

So...

I've been approached about
running for congress.

Really?

That's great. That's
what you always wanted.

They're hoping that I have you

Up onstage with me
during campaign events.

I said that's impossible and
our divorce is pending.

And they said, "what divorce?"

You never filed the paperwork.

Yeah, well...

I'm just not sure that
I want to go back

To moving out every three days.

Do you?

No.

But it can't be
all about oliver.

That wouldn't be
good for any of us.

It's not just that.

I'm not sure you can trust
what you're feeling right now

Or what you think
you might feel.

I don't know if
either of us can.

But we... we don't have to
have all of the answers now.

But if you want me to
be up onstage with you,

By your side, just
say, and I'll do it.

It's your dream. I
want you to have it.

Man: Yeah, stafford!

Elect me to represent the
fifth district in washington

And I will fight for the
future of this state,

For our children,

For our children's children.

That is what matters.

That is our legacy.

Is it true that your wife
was romantically linked

To thatcher carson's
married son-in-law

My opponent is pretty desperate

If that's the best
he can come up with.

Look, I love my wife.

Is it a perfect marriage?
No, it's not.

If you find one, let me know.

We love each other.

We have a beautiful
son together.

And, yes, we're going
through some things,

But that has nothing to do

With what I want
to do here, now.

Where is your wife today, mr.
Stafford?

My campaign manager wanted
them up here with me today,

But I'm not gonna do that.

They're my family.
They're not accessories.

They're not tools to be
used to advance my career.

They're only the most important
thing in the world to me.

Next question, please.

And I will fight for the
future of this state,

For our children,

For our children's children.
Dude was kind of a tool,

But you got to vote for
somebody, I guess.

Yeah. I'm not a fan.

So, how you been?

I didn't expect to see
you around here anymore

After all that's happened.

I was wondering,

Do you have any cars that would
hold up on a long trip...

Something reliable,
not too much mileage?

You going somewhere?

I'm thinking about it.

I got this one here.

Been fixing it up to resell.

New timing belt.

Runs a little thirsty,

But got only 110,000
miles on it.

Sure. This will do fine.

Don't even care how
much I'm asking, huh?

Nice being rich.

I'm not paying.

You want to trade
me a car worth $60k

For a beat-up pickup
with a bad paint job.

Don't need it anymore.
Don't want it.

Well, hell, go buy yourself
whatever you want.

You've got enough money.

You don't have to be
bartering with me.

Yeah, but you always
liked it, didn't you?

Sure, but...

Well, would it make you happy
driving this thing around?

Lots of things would
make me happy.

Everybody deserves
a little happy.

I want you to have it.

Hey, teej, what's going on?

Are you okay?

Well, why did I come all the
way out here to meet you?

Did you know that dad was
in love with a woman

Before he met mom?

Um... No, I didn't.

She was a blues singer.

She worked a-a-at that
place, the green mill,

Where he used to work.

Uh, it's up on the north side.

It's all... it's all in here.

I'm gonna get a cup
of hot chocolate.

Do you want anything?

No, thanks.

♪

Um... I'm looking for kayla.

Over there.

♪ It's getting harder to see

♪ it's getting
harder to breathe ♪

Kayla?

Kayla dumond?

Do I know you?

My name's t.J. Carson.

I'm your brother.

I didn't even know you existed
till a couple of days ago.

What made him tell you?

He wrote it in a letter.

He died.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He thought you were in
detroit, but I found you here.

My son and I left michigan
after my mother died.

We needed a new start.

Are you kayla?

This is elaine.

My boy often asks about
this side of the family.

Now I got a good story for him.

Um, how... how old is he?

15.

Oh, here.

You need to sign these, lainie.

What? What's this about?

I want to transfer
half of my trust

To kayla and her son.

T.J...

I need you to sign it.
I can't do it.

Wait, no. Really, I couldn't.
I...

No, it's... it's okay, kayla.

Really, it is.

If there's one thing that's
true about us, it's that.

After all, you're family.

So, you lured me all
the way out here

So you could give
away half your money.

And to meet our sister.

Oh, and one more thing... The
best jerky in wisconsin.

What happened to your car?

I wanted something
more practical.

Yeah.

Why don't you follow
me into town?

I'm having dinner with val.

Actually, lainie, I'm not
going back to the city.

I've been thinking.

I always wanted to
go to san francisco,

See that big orange bridge.

Wait. California?

By yourself? For how long?

Well, for a while.

I had a friend who moved
out there last year,

And he said he could set me
up with a job fixing cars

At... at an auto dealer.

No, that's not a good idea.

You've always been
really good to me.

You've been the best sister
I-I could ever wish for.

So, please, don't
fight me on this.

But it's so far away.

You have never even
lived by yourself.

It's time I started trying to
make sense out of my life.

I got to stop letting
one bad thing

That happened to me
all those years ago

Be my whole story.

That's not my story.

My story is just beginning.

Starting today.

Well, why do you
have to go so soon?

Why can't you just
wait a little while?

I want to be on my own now.

I want to be out in the world.

Well, the world's gonna
be a better place.

I got a postcard from t.J.

He was passing through
south dakota.

Yeah. I, uh... I talked
to him this morning.

He's in idaho already.

He, um, took a break
from the drive

To do some ice fishing.

Selling this place
didn't take too long.

Sellers' market, I guess.

Just feels so fast.

Yeah, well, you know,

Val's gonna be in
college in the fall,

And I can't walk by
vic's room without...

I know.

Me neither.

I don't know how we
missed it, jack.

All those years he must
have been struggling.

How did we not see it?

What kind of parents were we?

You're a great mother,

And you always have been.

I didn't hold up my
end of the bargain,

But I'm trying to
make up for that.

You, uh, start that new job yet?

Uh, no. No, next week.

Well, I hope you enjoy it.

Yeah. Me, too.

I'll... I'll talk to you soon.

Abdaze: I wash cars on
the street, odd jobs.

I have saved the money. I
can buy her a plane ticket.

But still, they tell me no.

Mr. Abdaze, this is out
of our jurisdiction.

Please. An orphan
girl in the camps.

She'll be raped, killed.

Okay, hold on.

Hey, grant. Can I talk to you?

Ah, two minutes. Go.

You see that guy?

A somalian refugee with
a 6-year-old niece

Recently orphaned in a
camp outside mogadishu.

Now, he wants to fly her over,

But since she's not
immediate family,

Do you know how many people
would show up at our borders

If we started letting
in extended family?

Everyone is a cousin if
you look hard enough.

Look, I know someone at the state department
I could call... look, you know what?

And I know you're used to
getting things your own way.

But these kinds of problems...

They're too big, all right?
You can't fix them.

So, I have to do a volunteer
project for school,

And I was thinking
that maybe I can do

An internship for you here.

Well, this place
is pretty chaotic.

I mean, it's cool, though.

I think it's great
that you're doing it.

How was the college tour?

It was good. Mom drove
me a little crazy.

You're just like her...
You're tough, brave.

She said you like n.Y.U.

Yeah. Um, but I'm not
so sure anymore.

I'm thinking maybe
of taking a year off

To travel throughout europe.

Jules has always wanted
to see Italy, so...

What? Bad idea?

I was gonna say that, yeah.

You know, tell you not to do it,

"go to college," all the
normal parent stuff.

And then I realized what
a hypocrite I'd be.

Do you love jules?

Yeah, I think I do.

You know, I spent too many years
just going with the flow,

You know, not being deliberate
with my life, my choices.

You don't get happy
just by accident?

You got to make it happen.

If there's one thing
I've learned, it's that.

Come on. Fare's on me.

I can't. I'm meeting
up with jules.

But will you see about
the internship?

Sure.

Bye.

Thank you.

None of us would have...
I... and I never...

Oh, god.

Anything I try to say about vic

Just comes out sounding so...
Inadequate.

You never came to the hospital.

Well, I heard you were stable,

And then elaine told me
you were discharged,

So I-I thought you were okay.

You know, it's late.
I should get going.

Yeah. Me, too.

Where are you living now?

Oh, high-rise a couple
of blocks that way.

Sounds nice.

You know, it's easy.

It's got a nice
view of the water.

Well, it was nice to see you.

Take care.

Woman: Excuse me, alderman,

Can I please get a
comment for the herald?

Alderman. She's the one

Who took millions in
bribes from the unions?

She looks like my
junior-high principal.

Think we can get the
times to run it?

Well, they owe us.

This is like the third scoop
we've given them in two weeks.

Look at you, all "they owe us."

You're cocky. I like it.

I ran into jack.

Whoa.

It was awful, like
we were strangers.

Well, maybe that's for the best.

I mean, if drew wins, you're
moving to d.C., right?

I don't know. We haven't
really talked about it.

Dude, that's like a major
elephant in the room...

Or at least a very large dog,

Like a mastiff.

Are you and drew back
together or not?

I'm not sure.

Neither of us is.

Went up another five
points in the polls.

If this keeps up,
I'll pass daniels

By the end of the month.

Um...

Then what?

We... we all move to d.C.
Together?

Drew...

Do we know what
we're doing here?

Are we just playing house?

I mean, this... This
time together, it's...

It's felt good. It's...
Felt right.

But I'm... I'm worried.

Worried that we're
chasing something,

Something that we lost.

Maybe we never really had it.

We were too young and dumb

To realize we weren't
doing it right.

But these past few months,

I really feel like we
found something...

A deeper understanding
of each other.

And I know that it's crazy,

Backwards, and all this crap...

This whole nightmare.

Maybe we had to go through all
of it to get this close...

To end up here.

You ever see d.C. When the
cherry blossoms are in bloom?

It's pretty excellent.

When you told me last month
you were going to get her,

I had no idea it would
happen so fast.

Well, we got lucky with
the relief flight.

It's more than luck, mr. Mcallister.
You know that.

It's nice to meet you, fascika.

She wants you to have it.

Thank you.

Aw, I love it.

Good luck, mr. Abdaze.
Stay in touch.

Sara: New job?

A place like this could have
really helped your parents.

Exactly.

I got to catch a train.

Well, I'll walk you.

I couldn't leave things the
way we did the other day.

The conversation, it was just...

Terrible. Yeah.

Look... Why did you come here?

What do you want from me, sara?

I want to know why you
never came to see me

At the hospital.

Maybe I rushed to the hospital
from the police station

After vic was booked.

Maybe I got within 10 feet of
the room and turned around.

Why? Why would you do that?

For once I decided to
do the right thing.

But is never seeing each
other again the right thing?

Because I don't know.

Seeing you that day
on the el platform,

I can't stop asking
myself that question.

Yeah.

Me, neither.

I got to go. Have a good night.
