Betrayal (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 2 - ...Except When the Bear Is Chasing You - full transcript
Sara decides to recommit to her marriage.
By the way, who was that
man out on the balcony?
I didn't get his name.
Uncle lou is family. He's lying.
Pop's sad. I want you
to fix it, uncle lou.
It'll all work out, t.J.
I'm damn worried!
The cops pulled lou
out of the river
Where's the gun, t.J.? I
didn't do anything bad.
This cannot happen.
This case that is gonna
get me on the front page
Of every paper. Who's this?
The defense attorney against me.
I'm gonna crucify him.
Hey.
Man... If I didn't
have that arraignment
In the morning...
Hey, can you get me the shampoo?
Thanks.
"voluminize" to your
heart's content.
Here you go.
I don't know how you do that...
Too much caffeine, I guess.
I told val, no
calls after 10:00.
Hello?
Uh, yeah, hold on, please.
I'll see.
It's for you. Some woman.
She wouldn't give her name.
H-hello?
Jack, it's brandy at the club.
I'm sorry to call you like this,
But t.J. Is here, and
he's talking crazy.
All right, I'll be right there.
It's a work thing.
♪
Hey, there. Welcome to pinter's.
I'm looking for brandy.
Thanks. We're just
passing through.
♪ Ready to fall
Mr. Karsten. Brandy?
Yeah. Where is he?
♪ Think I'm ready
to lose it all ♪
♪ keep me running, you
keep me running ♪
Gentlemen...
We're gonna need this room.
Why did you call them?! I
didn't want you to do that!
He's not allowed to drink.
I thought everyone
here understood that.
He shouldn't mix
alcohol with his meds.
I'm not sick! I'm fine.
The police want to question you
about your uncle's murder.
You're obviously in
no shape for that.
Am I in trouble?
But you need to sleep this off
and get your head straight.
We need to get you ready
for their questions
Before they bring you in.
We'll put you up in a hotel. No.
I'm not going into a hotel.
T.J. I won't!
He can come to my place.
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
You can trust me, mr. Karsten.
You know, it may be safer.
It's more off the radar.
Okay.
All right.
Just between us, okay?
Come on, t.J.
Let's go.
♪ Keep me running, you
keep me running ♪
We're gonna need a
criminal lawyer, jack.
Well, not yet.
Let's keep this low
profile for now.
Bunch of people sniffing
around karsten allied.
They find out about
the missing money,
It's gonna look like a motive...
Enough to make them think
T.J. Might actually
have killed lou.
It won't come to that, all right?
I-I've got a guy.
I'll talk to him and see
what the police have got.
This needs your focus, jack...
All of it.
Thanks for putting
her to bed, marie.
Have a good night.
Your place is very clean.
Oh. I-I got you a present
last week at navy pier.
They had this... Shooting game,
And I-I-I won.
What's going on, t.J.?
You could tell me
anything, you know?
It's a bunny.
It... it reminded me of you.
Probably 'cause I'm thinking
about you all the time.
Oh.
I can just see it,
Living here with you guys...
A happy little family.
You have a family.
Not like this.
Jack.
Orestes.
Sorry to get you up so early.
You been busy, huh?
You got anything for me?
Bunch of rambling messages t.J.
Left on the dead guy's phone.
Possible eyewitness on the scene...
some valet,
Maybe an I.D. Of the
kid's car driving away,
But no murder weapon. No d.N.A.
All right, what about, uh,
connie mrozek, lou's widow?
It's a dead end. She
gave 'em nothin'.
Now, it's not enough
for an arrest, but...
This prosecutor's a hotshot
with a thing for karsten.
His name's drew stafford.
Don't know him.
Smart, young,
Good-lookin', the kind of guy
that makes it easy to hate him.
He's out to make a
name for himself.
Thanks.
You ain't gotta do all that.
I'm already on the payroll.
A little extra.
That police pension's skimpy.
Yeah.
Morning. Where were you?
Wait. Don't tell me.
A karsten crisis that I really
don't want to know about.
Well, if you ever change
your mind about that,
Just say the word.
Well, I promise you,
The day you stop
working for my dad,
I'm gonna greet you at
the door with a martini
And ask you all about your day.
Val: Where is my phone?!
I honestly have no idea.
No, where is it?
I don't know.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Slow down.
He took it to look at
pictures of my friend jess
Hey, no, no, no. And now he says
that he forgot where he left it.
Not a crisis, val. Call the phone.
It'll turn up.
Vic, I'm pretty sure jess is not
into guys who steal phones.
And why are you
both not in school?
We're helping mom set
up her restaurant
When I told you that I needed
your help, I actually meant that,
So you need to go upstairs
right now and get dressed.
When did this happen?
You mean when did we become
the parents of teenagers?
I have no idea.
They're like wild gorillas.
With cellphones.
Are we up for this?
I think so.
Mmm.
Wait. The kids are upstairs.
Yeah, but...
The kids... Are 16,
So they're either on the phone.
They're on the computer...
So they really don't care
about boring... Old...
Us.
♪
Do you remember this song?
This... this was the summer
that we got married.
At the cabin?
♪
Hey, I... shh, shh, shh.
So let's just be
16 for a minute.
Let's just be
completely oblivious
To everything except right here
And right now.

Look. Woman: Morning, sara.
Hey. Did you bring something
for the bake sale?
Oh, I completely meant to, but I forgot...
my mom doesn't bake.
Not a lot.
Cake mixes are
totally fair game.
To grind your own
wheat or anything.
Although I did try that once.
I made some amazing pancakes.
Okay, well, see you
after school, monkey.
Love you all the way to mars.
Jupiter. Saturn.
And I won't leave until...
I know.
Okay.
Hey, kate. Yeah?
Are you running the
fund-raiser auction?
Yeah. Bethany weber
Was in charge of the
auction, but, um,
She's going through hell...
With the divorce and everything.
Oh, wow. Um, well,
I'd like to help.
I want to get more
involved with the school.
I was thinking that
I could donate
A family portrait
session or something.
Oh, wow. Wow.
People will go crazy for that.
Okay, great.
Oliver: Mom! Okay. Um...
I'll, uh,
I'll... I'll try and do
some baking later on.
It can't be that hard, right?
I appreciate your enthusiasm,
but let's be real.
You've got no murder weapon.
No one can I.D. T.J.
Karsten at the scene.
Who saw a guy with brown hair
200 feet away. It's not enough.
Look, I went back over
the widow's statement.
There's more there. She's
holding out on us.
Drew, listen.
Karsten and his cash
built half this city.
Don't make an enemy
that you can't handle.
I just...
Crap!
Look, for 30 years,
this guy has spooked
The entire state's
attorney's office
Into turning a blind eye,
But he's not a king.
He's a dinosaur.
He doesn't scare me.
He's a t. Rex,
All that's driving this thing
is some rabid prosecutor.
If t.J. Can hold up
on the questioning,
We should be okay.
That's quite an "if."
Look, if all else fails,
We can always bring up t.J.'s...
Cognitive deficit.
That's irrelevant.
There is no deficit.
Hi, jack.
You went to the club that night.
No, I told you. I-I went...
T-to see lou.
But if anyone asks,
you went to the club.
You were with brandy.
That's what I say?
Yes, t.J., that's
what we all say.
Okay? Yeah.
All right, so the
night lou died,
Where were you?
I was at the club.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes. Tell me the truth.
Where were you?
I went to the
restaurant to see lou.
No, t.J., the club. The club!
But he said... where were you?!
I... Went to fix things.
It's useless. I
don't understand.
You asked me...
L-listen, babe.
You were with me...
All night at the club.
You found out about lou
when you went home.
And whatever anyone says,
That's what you tell them.
Hmm? That's the new truth.
Keep it down. My
daughter's sleeping.
Sorry.
So, did you see lou
the night he died?
I was at the club.
What time did you
leave the club?
I was at the club.
Did someone tell you
to tell me that?
I was at the club.
This isn't gonna work.
We have to keep trying.
Sometimes I think we
underestimate him.
Okay. So... He stays
here for the time being,
Hidden from the cops.
There's someone I
want to talk to.
I'll do some more digging.
Drew: Hey, you. What's going on?
Nothing. I just
wanted to say hi.
What are you up to?
I'm, um, baking.
Ah, well, will you get me
Some beef jerky and toothpaste
while you're there?
What are you talking about?
I'm covered in flour.
Also, could you get some
of those stain-remover...
Wipe things? Spilled
espresso all over my shirt.
I'm hanging up now.
Me, too. Probably won't
be home till late.
Bye.
Drew: We as a society came
up with a set of mandates
That declare we respect
the rights of others.
It's a common contract
that precludes us
From just killing each
other, like wild animals.
So here's the thing.
A man was murdered,
And whoever committed that crime
broke that sacred contract.
So you'll have to forgive
me for not worrying
About inconveniencing
your client.
Well, I'm simply suggesting you
broaden your investigation
To other potential suspects.
T.J. Karsten has
absolutely no motive
And a rock-solid alibi.
Then why not present
him for questioning?
Look, you seem like
an ambitious guy.
Did you know that in
the last 30 years,
There hasn't been a mayor
elected in this city
Without thatcher
karsten's support?
What's your point?
My point is...
Hey. Sorry to interrupt. Hey, babe!
What a surprise.
I wanted to bring you
a clean shirt...
Drew: Thanks.
Meet my beautiful,
unpredictable wife sara.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, I-I should... Let you get back to it.
Bye, babe.
Where were we?
Oh, I know! We were at the
point where you insinuate...
Some kind of political favor
If I go easy on the karsten kid.
Uh, I'm sorry. You know, I've...
I've, uh,
I've got another meeting, but
thank you for your time.
Thank you, jack.
Sara.
What the hell is going on?
Hey, sara. Hey.
Your husband's a slave driver.
Yeah, I know.
This is insane.
I know. I can't believe...
What was this? Was everything
Some twisted kind
of legal strategy?
What are you talking about?
Listen to me. Let go.
I promise you, I had no idea... look,
I don't... I don't know who you are
Or why you'd do such
a horrible thing.
This is over. You understand?
Never happened. We're done.
Michael. Yeah, I hear you.
I hear what you're saying.
I don't care what
corporate is saying.
I am not running an ad
With a 9-year-old
girl in a corset.
It's gross, and as a parent,
I simply won't sign off on it.
Fine. You will. Uh, bye.
"as a parent"?
Sometimes an almost-dead
plant counts as a child.
I'm trolling for an assignment.
Well, I don't think we have
anything up your alley.
Just a... Piece on
three days in chicago
With photos in millennium park.
I'll take it.
Sara, I know you.
When you are jumping
at the chance
To shoot dogs in sweaters
at millennium park,
Something's wrong.
I'm good, thanks.
I don't know. I'm just... I'm
feeling like I need to...
Well, sounds like you might be
doing a little too much yoga.
I just... Want to be...
I want to be better.
I wanna be better...
Better at work,
Better as a mom,
better as a wife.
Honey, who doesn't
want to be better?
You want a real
existential crisis?
Try going to the weddings of
three different ex-boyfriends
In a 6-month time span.
Now, that is a hot mess.
Take the quiche around
while it's hot,
And then come back for
the prosciutto, okay?
Just take... Thatcher: Lou
always used to say to me,
"everything essential
is invisible."
Ah. That's a quote from a book
He used to read to the kids.
Really?
But it's true, isn't it?
Love, trust,
Loyalty...
They're all invisible,
And also the most
important things in life.
I put another $50,000
In your granddaughter's
college fund.
I wish you wouldn't do that.
Connie, you're family.
It's the least I can do.
Please don't.
There's no need.
Uh, I need a minute.
It's about t.J.
I'll be right back.
What's going on?
He just called from
the police station.
Vic: I'll take one.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm participating in a
sacred polish death ritual.
Don't even think about it.
Connie.
Did you see these
amazing flowers?
They came this morning.
My, who from?
Frank perkins.
Lou's partner? Is he here?
No. He's in hong
kong on business.
He... Sends his regrets.
May I?
Where's jack going?
Work.
Yeah. What else is new?
Well, is t.J. Coming?
No. He's still too upset.
So you let him stay home,
play video games all day?
I didn't let him do
anything, elaine.
He chose not to come.
He was afraid he couldn't
keep it together.
You treat him like a child, dad,
And that's why he
behaves that way.
You always were quick to judge,
But then you're not the one
who has to live with him,
To take care of him,
To fix things when he
screws up, ever since...
Since what? Since the accident?
You can't even say it.
Listen, you call it
taking care of him,
And I call it
stunting him forever.
Look, trust me.
He could not be here for
any number of reasons.
Just... Leave it at that.
If something is
going on with him,
I deserve to know about it.
Hey, jack.
Hey, thanks. See
you at the game.
Are you under arrest?
No, he's not. What the
hell's going on here?
Mitchell: While
monitoring the residence,
We came across mr. Karsten
Is that so? Well, he declines
to answer any questions
At this time.
Actually, he doesn't.
It's okay, jack. No, no, no.
It's not okay. I'm not gonna
let you talk to these guys.
I-I want to help them find
out who killed uncle lou.
I can do it.
I'm just gonna do what I
always do and tell the truth.
Okay, great.
Perfect.
A bit higher, billy.
Yeah, great.
Was there any problem
between uncle lou
And your family?
I was at the club.
Is he not right? Is there
something off about him?
He's not your guy.
You should broaden
your investigation.
And did your father have
any kind of beef...
With your uncle lou?
Lou was family.
We all love each other.
Elaine: Why would the
police be looking at him?
Why would you think, elaine?
He's my son.
It's me they're after.
Drew: The night lou died,
what were you doing?
I was at the club. Is
that the truth, t.J.?
Ask brandy.
Did somebody coach you? Did
they tell you what to say?
No. I was at the club.
I can check to see if
you were at the club.
I can get closed-circuit
tv from pinter's,
Eyewitness reports, guest lists.
I can find out if
you're lying to me.
Do you know what
happens if you lie?
Your nose gets long.
It's a crime, t.J.
You can go to jail.
Well...
Well...
I don't want to
lie to you, then.
That's right. You don't
want to lie to us.
So
Let's start over, okay?
Okay.
Thatcher: Connie?
Are you leaving?
This was lovely, but I'm tired.
Of course you are. You've
been through hell.
I kept quiet about t.J.,
But they're gonna
come back to me.
I'm sure they will.
And when they do, I need you
to do something for me.
Maybe you could
remember something new.
You want me to risk
everything I have
To protect your son, who
might have killed...
Connie.
For 25 years, I carried lou
And your family,
Despite the fact that he
was a bumbling incompetent
Who was also probably
stealing from me.
So... I want to make
this perfectly clear.
Everything you have, I gave you.
And it can go away...
Just like that.
I saw lou at the office,
And then I called him a
few times on the phone.
And you were angry.
No. Not angry.
No, no, I just...
I wanted to, you
know, fix things.
Is that what you did, t.J.?
Did you fix things? Did you
go to see your uncle lou?
Yes. I-I did.
I did see him.
Okay, so you're admitting
that you did see your uncle.
Yes.
Yes...
I saw... A picture
of him on the tv
On the news after my dad
told me what happened,
After I got back from the club,
Where I had been all
night with brandy.
If you don't believe
me, you can ask her.
All right.
Well done. He should
get an oscar.
Why don't you focus on
a legitimate suspect
Instead of continuing
to harass my family?
I've read up on you.
Parents came over
from ireland, right?
Died when you were little.
Construction accident...
On a karsten site, no less.
And then, lo and behold,
The little immigrant orphan boy
Gets adopted into a
mighty chicago clan.
What a lucky guy.
Well, my family is
committed to finding
The real killer of lou
mrozek in any way we can,
So you call me, counselor.
You know...
To wonder...
Is this the life that your
parents imagined for you...
Their only son growing
up to be an errand boy
For thatcher karsten,
A bagman for a gang of crooks?
When you were a kid, jack,
Is this the life you dreamed of?
You need to leave.
You can't be here.
I'm sorry. I know
this is awkward.
How did you even find me?
I called the magazine office.
They said you were
on assignment here.
Hasn't any of this hit you yet?
You were at my husband's
office this morning.
I'm working, jack.
I'm trying to work.
Five minutes.
Just so I can explain.
We owe each other that.
Just not here, okay?
Yeah.
Um, hello. Can I help you?
You drew stafford?
Yeah. Who are you?
Serena sanguillen, fbi.
I've been running point on
a federal investigation
To thatcher karsten.
Wow. We should...
Definitely get to know
each other, then.
Please, have a seat.
I promise you, until today,
I-I never knew who
your husband was
Or that I'd ever have any
legal matter with him.
"legal matter"? It's
a murder trial.
It's got nothing to do with us.
It has everything
to do with us...
Who you are versus...
What happened was a mistake,
and I'll never forgive myself
For getting lost in some
stupid schoolgirl fantasy.
It isn't like that.
It's not some...
Why should I believe
anything you say?
You fix things. You
maneuver situations.
You manipulate people.
You're a professional liar.
Apparently, a very good one.
Yeah, I am.
Except when I'm with you.
Elaine: I'll get it.
Can I help you?
Hello.
I'm a.S.A. Drew stafford.
I was hoping to speak
with constance mrozek.
It's been a long day,
And my aunt is exhausted.
She's already told the
police everything she knows.
For over three hours? But
they got absolutely nothing.
I think this family's
been through enough.
Honey... The last
thing that we need
And drag my aunt through
this all over again.
Could you excuse us, please?
It's okay.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
My brother didn't hurt anybody.
He's not capable of that.
She's protective.
I understand. You're family.
You'd do anything for
each other, right?
Is there something
you want from me?
Thatcher karsten
thought your husband
Was stealing from him.
He wasn't.
Lou mrozek was the
most honorable man
I've ever known.
And yet after 27
years of honesty,
Hard work, and commitment,
Karsten had no problem believing
Embezzled a million
dollars from the company.
That's why lou did
the right thing
And he went to the feds,
and that's why karsten
Sent t.J. To take care of him.
No, t.J. Would never...
T.J. Is being raised
Under the iron fist of a tyrant.
He didn't have a choice.
Mrs. Mrozek, I know
where you come from,
I'd never ask you to
betray that code,
But you need to ask
yourself this...
Who, if not you,
Will be loyal to your husband?
Do this for him.
Tell me the truth
about that night.
I come here whenever life
gets a little crazy.
Sit at a bench and
look out at the river.
Searching for buried treasure.
I should really get back.
Look, I know you're trying
to get me out of your head.
That's what I've
been doing, too.
But I can't.
Yeah, it's messy and
complicated and risky,
But... We can't pretend
that it didn't happen
Or that it doesn't
change everything.
There are things that I
could say right now,
Things I wish I could say,
But talking won't help.
Just make things more confusing.
I'm not confused.
How can you say that?
You're not making any sense.
I do make sense.
This...
This is real.
My next setup is ready.
Well, come back after.
I-I-I'll wait.
I can't.
Look...
Meet me just one more time.
We'll figure out what this is.
If you don't come,
I will never bother
you again, I swear.
Tonight, 8:00, here.
The trip to dune
acres was fruitful.
I saw the proofs.
The sushi pictures
look gorgeous.
Oh, thank you.
I, uh, I ran into
someone there...
Someone I just met.
What a coincidence.
Was it?
What exactly is a coincidence?
Okay, are we gonna need a bong?
I mean, if two years ago,
I hadn't gone to
the ruscha exhibit
On that exact day
at that exact time,
Gone to lunch first or
the el had broken down,
Then I would never have met you
And never gotten this job
And never be sitting
here right now.
So a random meeting has
had this huge impact
On my life.
Was that just a coincidence?
It scares me.
How do you know if
you're living the life
You're supposed to live or...
The one that just...
Happened to you?
You think if you were an
hour later at the museum
And that we never met,
That you'd end up
like a truck driver
Instead of a photographer?
I don't believe that we
are victims of fate.
We shape our own lives.
So... The path we're on
Is the path that
we want to be on,
The one that we're
meant to be on.
Yeah.
Except when a bear
is chasing you.
Then you get the
hell out of the way.
Get enough to eat?
Oh. That t-bone was
like something
Out of "the flintstones."
I'm very proud of you, son.
Maybe I haven't given you
enough responsibility.
I'm gonna fix that.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Yeah, I would.
Okay.
T.J.? T.J. Karsten,
you're under arrest.
T.J.! Don't run!
Unh! Aah!
Unh!
I need backup at
hubbard and wells.
Suspect in custody.

man out on the balcony?
I didn't get his name.
Uncle lou is family. He's lying.
Pop's sad. I want you
to fix it, uncle lou.
It'll all work out, t.J.
I'm damn worried!
The cops pulled lou
out of the river
Where's the gun, t.J.? I
didn't do anything bad.
This cannot happen.
This case that is gonna
get me on the front page
Of every paper. Who's this?
The defense attorney against me.
I'm gonna crucify him.
Hey.
Man... If I didn't
have that arraignment
In the morning...
Hey, can you get me the shampoo?
Thanks.
"voluminize" to your
heart's content.
Here you go.
I don't know how you do that...
Too much caffeine, I guess.
I told val, no
calls after 10:00.
Hello?
Uh, yeah, hold on, please.
I'll see.
It's for you. Some woman.
She wouldn't give her name.
H-hello?
Jack, it's brandy at the club.
I'm sorry to call you like this,
But t.J. Is here, and
he's talking crazy.
All right, I'll be right there.
It's a work thing.
♪
Hey, there. Welcome to pinter's.

Thanks. We're just

Why did you call them?! I

He's not allowed to drink.
I thought everyone
here understood that.
He shouldn't mix
alcohol with his meds.
I'm not sick! I'm fine.
The police want to question you
about your uncle's murder.
You're obviously in
no shape for that.
Am I in trouble?
But you need to sleep this off
and get your head straight.
We need to get you ready
for their questions
Before they bring you in.
We'll put you up in a hotel. No.
I'm not going into a hotel.
T.J. I won't!
He can come to my place.
I don't think that's
such a good idea.
You can trust me, mr. Karsten.
You know, it may be safer.
It's more off the radar.
Okay.
All right.
Just between us, okay?
Come on, t.J.
Let's go.
♪ Keep me running, you

We're gonna need a
criminal lawyer, jack.
Well, not yet.
Let's keep this low
profile for now.
Bunch of people sniffing
around karsten allied.
They find out about
the missing money,
It's gonna look like a motive...
Enough to make them think
T.J. Might actually
have killed lou.
It won't come to that, all right?
I-I've got a guy.
I'll talk to him and see
what the police have got.
This needs your focus, jack...
All of it.
Thanks for putting
her to bed, marie.
Have a good night.
Your place is very clean.
Oh. I-I got you a present
last week at navy pier.
They had this... Shooting game,
And I-I-I won.
What's going on, t.J.?
You could tell me
anything, you know?
It's a bunny.
It... it reminded me of you.
Probably 'cause I'm thinking
about you all the time.
Oh.
I can just see it,
Living here with you guys...
A happy little family.
You have a family.
Not like this.
Jack.
Orestes.
Sorry to get you up so early.
You been busy, huh?
You got anything for me?
Bunch of rambling messages t.J.
Left on the dead guy's phone.
Possible eyewitness on the scene...
some valet,
Maybe an I.D. Of the
kid's car driving away,
But no murder weapon. No d.N.A.
All right, what about, uh,
connie mrozek, lou's widow?
It's a dead end. She
gave 'em nothin'.
Now, it's not enough
for an arrest, but...
This prosecutor's a hotshot
with a thing for karsten.
His name's drew stafford.
Don't know him.
Smart, young,
Good-lookin', the kind of guy
that makes it easy to hate him.
He's out to make a
name for himself.
Thanks.
You ain't gotta do all that.
I'm already on the payroll.
A little extra.
That police pension's skimpy.
Yeah.
Morning. Where were you?
Wait. Don't tell me.
A karsten crisis that I really
don't want to know about.
Well, if you ever change
your mind about that,
Just say the word.
Well, I promise you,
The day you stop
working for my dad,
I'm gonna greet you at
the door with a martini
And ask you all about your day.
Val: Where is my phone?!
I honestly have no idea.
No, where is it?
I don't know.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Slow down.
He took it to look at
pictures of my friend jess
Hey, no, no, no. And now he says
that he forgot where he left it.
Not a crisis, val. Call the phone.
It'll turn up.
Vic, I'm pretty sure jess is not
into guys who steal phones.
And why are you
both not in school?
We're helping mom set
up her restaurant
When I told you that I needed
your help, I actually meant that,
So you need to go upstairs
right now and get dressed.
When did this happen?
You mean when did we become
the parents of teenagers?
I have no idea.
They're like wild gorillas.
With cellphones.
Are we up for this?
I think so.
Mmm.
Wait. The kids are upstairs.
Yeah, but...

Look. Woman: Morning, sara.
Hey. Did you bring something
for the bake sale?
Oh, I completely meant to, but I forgot...
my mom doesn't bake.
Not a lot.
Cake mixes are
totally fair game.
To grind your own
wheat or anything.
Although I did try that once.
I made some amazing pancakes.
Okay, well, see you
after school, monkey.
Love you all the way to mars.
Jupiter. Saturn.
And I won't leave until...
I know.
Okay.
Hey, kate. Yeah?
Are you running the
fund-raiser auction?
Yeah. Bethany weber
Was in charge of the
auction, but, um,
She's going through hell...
With the divorce and everything.
Oh, wow. Um, well,
I'd like to help.
I want to get more
involved with the school.
I was thinking that
I could donate
A family portrait
session or something.
Oh, wow. Wow.
People will go crazy for that.
Okay, great.
Oliver: Mom! Okay. Um...
I'll, uh,
I'll... I'll try and do
some baking later on.
It can't be that hard, right?
I appreciate your enthusiasm,
but let's be real.
You've got no murder weapon.
No one can I.D. T.J.
Karsten at the scene.
Who saw a guy with brown hair
200 feet away. It's not enough.
Look, I went back over
the widow's statement.
There's more there. She's
holding out on us.
Drew, listen.
Karsten and his cash
built half this city.
Don't make an enemy
that you can't handle.
I just...
Crap!
Look, for 30 years,
this guy has spooked
The entire state's
attorney's office
Into turning a blind eye,
But he's not a king.
He's a dinosaur.
He doesn't scare me.
He's a t. Rex,
All that's driving this thing
is some rabid prosecutor.
If t.J. Can hold up
on the questioning,
We should be okay.
That's quite an "if."
Look, if all else fails,
We can always bring up t.J.'s...
Cognitive deficit.
That's irrelevant.
There is no deficit.
Hi, jack.
You went to the club that night.
No, I told you. I-I went...
T-to see lou.
But if anyone asks,
you went to the club.
You were with brandy.
That's what I say?
Yes, t.J., that's
what we all say.
Okay? Yeah.
All right, so the
night lou died,
Where were you?
I was at the club.
Are you telling the truth?
Yes. Tell me the truth.
Where were you?
I went to the
restaurant to see lou.
No, t.J., the club. The club!
But he said... where were you?!
I... Went to fix things.
It's useless. I
don't understand.
You asked me...
L-listen, babe.
You were with me...
All night at the club.
You found out about lou
when you went home.
And whatever anyone says,
That's what you tell them.
Hmm? That's the new truth.
Keep it down. My
daughter's sleeping.
Sorry.
So, did you see lou
the night he died?
I was at the club.
What time did you
leave the club?
I was at the club.
Did someone tell you
to tell me that?
I was at the club.
This isn't gonna work.
We have to keep trying.
Sometimes I think we
underestimate him.
Okay. So... He stays
here for the time being,
Hidden from the cops.
There's someone I
want to talk to.
I'll do some more digging.
Drew: Hey, you. What's going on?
Nothing. I just
wanted to say hi.
What are you up to?
I'm, um, baking.
Ah, well, will you get me
Some beef jerky and toothpaste
while you're there?
What are you talking about?
I'm covered in flour.
Also, could you get some
of those stain-remover...
Wipe things? Spilled
espresso all over my shirt.
I'm hanging up now.
Me, too. Probably won't
be home till late.
Bye.
Drew: We as a society came
up with a set of mandates
That declare we respect
the rights of others.
It's a common contract
that precludes us
From just killing each
other, like wild animals.
So here's the thing.
A man was murdered,
And whoever committed that crime
broke that sacred contract.
So you'll have to forgive
me for not worrying
About inconveniencing
your client.
Well, I'm simply suggesting you
broaden your investigation
To other potential suspects.
T.J. Karsten has
absolutely no motive
And a rock-solid alibi.
Then why not present
him for questioning?
Look, you seem like
an ambitious guy.
Did you know that in
the last 30 years,
There hasn't been a mayor
elected in this city
Without thatcher
karsten's support?
What's your point?
My point is...
Hey. Sorry to interrupt. Hey, babe!
What a surprise.
I wanted to bring you
a clean shirt...
Drew: Thanks.
Meet my beautiful,
unpredictable wife sara.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Uh, I-I should... Let you get back to it.
Bye, babe.
Where were we?
Oh, I know! We were at the
point where you insinuate...
Some kind of political favor
If I go easy on the karsten kid.
Uh, I'm sorry. You know, I've...
I've, uh,
I've got another meeting, but
thank you for your time.
Thank you, jack.
Sara.
What the hell is going on?
Hey, sara. Hey.
Your husband's a slave driver.
Yeah, I know.
This is insane.
I know. I can't believe...
What was this? Was everything
Some twisted kind
of legal strategy?
What are you talking about?
Listen to me. Let go.
I promise you, I had no idea... look,
I don't... I don't know who you are
Or why you'd do such
a horrible thing.
This is over. You understand?
Never happened. We're done.
Michael. Yeah, I hear you.
I hear what you're saying.
I don't care what
corporate is saying.
I am not running an ad
With a 9-year-old
girl in a corset.
It's gross, and as a parent,
I simply won't sign off on it.
Fine. You will. Uh, bye.
"as a parent"?
Sometimes an almost-dead
plant counts as a child.
I'm trolling for an assignment.
Well, I don't think we have
anything up your alley.
Just a... Piece on
three days in chicago
With photos in millennium park.
I'll take it.
Sara, I know you.
When you are jumping
at the chance
To shoot dogs in sweaters
at millennium park,
Something's wrong.
I'm good, thanks.
I don't know. I'm just... I'm
feeling like I need to...
Well, sounds like you might be
doing a little too much yoga.
I just... Want to be...
I want to be better.
I wanna be better...
Better at work,
Better as a mom,
better as a wife.
Honey, who doesn't
want to be better?
You want a real
existential crisis?
Try going to the weddings of
three different ex-boyfriends
In a 6-month time span.
Now, that is a hot mess.
Take the quiche around
while it's hot,
And then come back for
the prosciutto, okay?
Just take... Thatcher: Lou
always used to say to me,
"everything essential
is invisible."
Ah. That's a quote from a book
He used to read to the kids.
Really?
But it's true, isn't it?
Love, trust,
Loyalty...
They're all invisible,
And also the most
important things in life.
I put another $50,000
In your granddaughter's
college fund.
I wish you wouldn't do that.
Connie, you're family.
It's the least I can do.
Please don't.
There's no need.
Uh, I need a minute.
It's about t.J.
I'll be right back.
What's going on?
He just called from
the police station.
Vic: I'll take one.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm participating in a
sacred polish death ritual.
Don't even think about it.
Connie.
Did you see these
amazing flowers?
They came this morning.
My, who from?
Frank perkins.
Lou's partner? Is he here?
No. He's in hong
kong on business.
He... Sends his regrets.
May I?
Where's jack going?
Work.
Yeah. What else is new?
Well, is t.J. Coming?
No. He's still too upset.
So you let him stay home,
play video games all day?
I didn't let him do
anything, elaine.
He chose not to come.
He was afraid he couldn't
keep it together.
You treat him like a child, dad,
And that's why he
behaves that way.
You always were quick to judge,
But then you're not the one
who has to live with him,
To take care of him,
To fix things when he
screws up, ever since...
Since what? Since the accident?
You can't even say it.
Listen, you call it
taking care of him,
And I call it
stunting him forever.
Look, trust me.
He could not be here for
any number of reasons.
Just... Leave it at that.
If something is
going on with him,
I deserve to know about it.
Hey, jack.
Hey, thanks. See
you at the game.
Are you under arrest?
No, he's not. What the
hell's going on here?
Mitchell: While
monitoring the residence,
We came across mr. Karsten
Is that so? Well, he declines
to answer any questions
At this time.
Actually, he doesn't.
It's okay, jack. No, no, no.
It's not okay. I'm not gonna
let you talk to these guys.
I-I want to help them find
out who killed uncle lou.
I can do it.
I'm just gonna do what I
always do and tell the truth.
Okay, great.
Perfect.
A bit higher, billy.
Yeah, great.
Was there any problem
between uncle lou
And your family?
I was at the club.
Is he not right? Is there
something off about him?
He's not your guy.
You should broaden
your investigation.
And did your father have
any kind of beef...
With your uncle lou?
Lou was family.
We all love each other.
Elaine: Why would the
police be looking at him?
Why would you think, elaine?
He's my son.
It's me they're after.
Drew: The night lou died,
what were you doing?
I was at the club. Is
that the truth, t.J.?
Ask brandy.
Did somebody coach you? Did
they tell you what to say?
No. I was at the club.
I can check to see if
you were at the club.
I can get closed-circuit
tv from pinter's,
Eyewitness reports, guest lists.
I can find out if
you're lying to me.
Do you know what
happens if you lie?
Your nose gets long.
It's a crime, t.J.
You can go to jail.
Well...
Well...
I don't want to
lie to you, then.
That's right. You don't
want to lie to us.
So
Let's start over, okay?
Okay.
Thatcher: Connie?
Are you leaving?
This was lovely, but I'm tired.
Of course you are. You've
been through hell.
I kept quiet about t.J.,
But they're gonna
come back to me.
I'm sure they will.
And when they do, I need you
to do something for me.
Maybe you could
remember something new.
You want me to risk
everything I have
To protect your son, who
might have killed...
Connie.
For 25 years, I carried lou
And your family,
Despite the fact that he
was a bumbling incompetent
Who was also probably
stealing from me.
So... I want to make
this perfectly clear.
Everything you have, I gave you.
And it can go away...
Just like that.
I saw lou at the office,
And then I called him a
few times on the phone.
And you were angry.
No. Not angry.
No, no, I just...
I wanted to, you
know, fix things.
Is that what you did, t.J.?
Did you fix things? Did you
go to see your uncle lou?
Yes. I-I did.
I did see him.
Okay, so you're admitting
that you did see your uncle.
Yes.
Yes...
I saw... A picture
of him on the tv
On the news after my dad
told me what happened,
After I got back from the club,
Where I had been all
night with brandy.
If you don't believe
me, you can ask her.
All right.
Well done. He should
get an oscar.
Why don't you focus on
a legitimate suspect
Instead of continuing
to harass my family?
I've read up on you.
Parents came over
from ireland, right?
Died when you were little.
Construction accident...
On a karsten site, no less.
And then, lo and behold,
The little immigrant orphan boy
Gets adopted into a
mighty chicago clan.
What a lucky guy.
Well, my family is
committed to finding
The real killer of lou
mrozek in any way we can,
So you call me, counselor.
You know...
To wonder...
Is this the life that your
parents imagined for you...
Their only son growing
up to be an errand boy
For thatcher karsten,
A bagman for a gang of crooks?
When you were a kid, jack,
Is this the life you dreamed of?
You need to leave.
You can't be here.
I'm sorry. I know
this is awkward.
How did you even find me?
I called the magazine office.
They said you were
on assignment here.
Hasn't any of this hit you yet?
You were at my husband's
office this morning.
I'm working, jack.
I'm trying to work.
Five minutes.
Just so I can explain.
We owe each other that.
Just not here, okay?
Yeah.
Um, hello. Can I help you?
You drew stafford?
Yeah. Who are you?
Serena sanguillen, fbi.
I've been running point on
a federal investigation
To thatcher karsten.
Wow. We should...
Definitely get to know
each other, then.
Please, have a seat.
I promise you, until today,
I-I never knew who
your husband was
Or that I'd ever have any
legal matter with him.
"legal matter"? It's
a murder trial.
It's got nothing to do with us.
It has everything
to do with us...
Who you are versus...
What happened was a mistake,
and I'll never forgive myself
For getting lost in some
stupid schoolgirl fantasy.
It isn't like that.
It's not some...
Why should I believe
anything you say?
You fix things. You
maneuver situations.
You manipulate people.
You're a professional liar.
Apparently, a very good one.
Yeah, I am.
Except when I'm with you.
Elaine: I'll get it.
Can I help you?
Hello.
I'm a.S.A. Drew stafford.
I was hoping to speak
with constance mrozek.
It's been a long day,
And my aunt is exhausted.
She's already told the
police everything she knows.
For over three hours? But
they got absolutely nothing.
I think this family's
been through enough.
Honey... The last
thing that we need
And drag my aunt through
this all over again.
Could you excuse us, please?
It's okay.
Okay.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
My brother didn't hurt anybody.
He's not capable of that.
She's protective.
I understand. You're family.
You'd do anything for
each other, right?
Is there something
you want from me?
Thatcher karsten
thought your husband
Was stealing from him.
He wasn't.
Lou mrozek was the
most honorable man
I've ever known.
And yet after 27
years of honesty,
Hard work, and commitment,
Karsten had no problem believing
Embezzled a million
dollars from the company.
That's why lou did
the right thing
And he went to the feds,
and that's why karsten
Sent t.J. To take care of him.
No, t.J. Would never...
T.J. Is being raised
Under the iron fist of a tyrant.
He didn't have a choice.
Mrs. Mrozek, I know
where you come from,
I'd never ask you to
betray that code,
But you need to ask
yourself this...
Who, if not you,
Will be loyal to your husband?
Do this for him.
Tell me the truth
about that night.
I come here whenever life
gets a little crazy.
Sit at a bench and
look out at the river.
Searching for buried treasure.
I should really get back.
Look, I know you're trying
to get me out of your head.
That's what I've
been doing, too.
But I can't.
Yeah, it's messy and
complicated and risky,
But... We can't pretend
that it didn't happen
Or that it doesn't
change everything.
There are things that I
could say right now,
Things I wish I could say,
But talking won't help.
Just make things more confusing.
I'm not confused.
How can you say that?
You're not making any sense.
I do make sense.
This...
This is real.
My next setup is ready.
Well, come back after.
I-I-I'll wait.
I can't.
Look...
Meet me just one more time.
We'll figure out what this is.
If you don't come,
I will never bother
you again, I swear.
Tonight, 8:00, here.
The trip to dune
acres was fruitful.
I saw the proofs.
The sushi pictures
look gorgeous.
Oh, thank you.
I, uh, I ran into
someone there...
Someone I just met.
What a coincidence.
Was it?
What exactly is a coincidence?
Okay, are we gonna need a bong?
I mean, if two years ago,
I hadn't gone to
the ruscha exhibit
On that exact day
at that exact time,
Gone to lunch first or
the el had broken down,
Then I would never have met you
And never gotten this job
And never be sitting
here right now.
So a random meeting has
had this huge impact
On my life.
Was that just a coincidence?
It scares me.
How do you know if
you're living the life
You're supposed to live or...
The one that just...
Happened to you?
You think if you were an
hour later at the museum
And that we never met,
That you'd end up
like a truck driver
Instead of a photographer?
I don't believe that we
are victims of fate.
We shape our own lives.
So... The path we're on
Is the path that
we want to be on,
The one that we're
meant to be on.
Yeah.
Except when a bear
is chasing you.
Then you get the
hell out of the way.
Get enough to eat?
Oh. That t-bone was
like something
Out of "the flintstones."
I'm very proud of you, son.
Maybe I haven't given you
enough responsibility.
I'm gonna fix that.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Yeah, I would.
Okay.
T.J.? T.J. Karsten,
you're under arrest.
T.J.! Don't run!
Unh! Aah!
Unh!
I need backup at
hubbard and wells.
Suspect in custody.
