Betrayal (2013–2014): Season 1, Episode 6 - ...The Things That Drive Men Crazy - full transcript
Sara's concerns intensify; a difficult confession leaves Jack vulnerable; Drew obsesses on finding out what his wife has been up to.
His name's aidan. Hmm. Really?
Is that a man's name?
Previously on "betrayal"...
The cops pulled lou out of the
river with two bullets in him.
Orestes: Anything missing?
Oh, yeah. The bulb from the lid.
Brandy: You were with me
all night at the club.
That's the new truth.
My record cleaned, a green card.
If you make me an american,
I'll do whatever you want.
Slip the word "Friday"
into the conversation,
And we'll get you out.
I'm elaine, by the way.
I own the place.
Oh. Sara.
Oh, god! What is... what is it?
What... what is it?
Nice photos.
Drew?
Sara: Everything okay?
Yeah. Why?
You seem a little stressed.
I got a lot of work.
Yeah.
So, you're not annoyed that
I got sick at the party?
No, but, you know, next time,
A simple "let's
go" will be fine.
Maybe you should talk
about what happened.
You know, to your therapist,
about the panic attack.
Anyway, I really
like the photos.
Which ones?
The ones oliver took of
us before the party.
Why... were there more?
I just took some of him
playing t-ball, as well as...
Well, you'll have to
show me those later.
Mm-hmm.
You should go to bed.
Get some rest.
Well, just, uh, don't
stay up too late.
Okay. Night.
Good night.

Y-you seem different.
I'm fine. Really.
You know, you don't have to
go to my dad to ask for help.
You can come to me.
I owe you for what you did
That time when we made
up the new truth.
Uh, I don't know what
you're talking about.
That time in the kitchen when
jack and dad were there.
Y-you told me to say...
She's out.
We got nothing.
Come on, ollie, get your jacket.
We're gonna be late.
Which one? The denim one.
Where is it? I don't know.
Where did you last leave it?
I don't know. Well,
try your room.
Sara: How'd you sleep? Good.
Look.
The necklace... You and
ollie gave it to me
For christmas two
years ago, remember?
Ollie picked it out.
Come on, mom. Sara:
Okay, boss man.
All right. See you later.
See you. Bye.
Bye, dad. See you!
Stafford, this is goss.
Cpd wants you down at a crime scene.
Says it's urgent.
I'll check it out, but I suggest
you call me as soon as you can.
Detective mitchell.
Yeah, who wants to know?
Interim director of the
state's attorney's office,
Criminal division...
Taking over for abrams.
Good for you. Where's stafford?
I wish I knew.
Maybe you can explain to me
Why you wanted an a.S.A. Down
at a routine crime scene.
Well, maybe it's not so routine.
Neighbors reported
gunfire around 4:00 a.M.
Mitchell: Looks like
an attempted robbery.
Kid didn't even make it inside.
Tragic. And?
We ran the kid's gun...
A .38 registered to
a one louis mrozek.
The victim in the t.J.
Karsten case.
But here's where it
gets interesting.
The bullets they took out of mrozek...
also from a .38.
How much you want
to bet they match?
You're saying mrozek was
killed with his own gun?
By a kid with a rap
sheet a mile long.
He's done time for
car theft, larceny.
This is the guy you're looking for...
not t.J. Karsten.
Stafford's had it all
wrong from the start.
Look, I haven't been able
to get ahold of him,
Drew is the one who
got me to do this.
We'll take care of you.
I promise.
But we need karsten on record
saying something we can use.
You have to go back in there.
Are you crazy?
Karsten knows. We're already
working on your green card.
You need to hold up
your end of the deal.
What I need is for you
to leave me alone.
Forget the deal.
Tell drew I'm out.
Yeah, our kid got to her phone
And accidentally
changed the pass code.
Oh, she's busy. That's
why I'm calling.
No, we don't want to
reset the whole phone.
Look, my name's on the account,
too, so what's the problem?
Fine. I get it.
No, you've been very helpful.
Jackass.
It's a good place to think...
Among other things.
Found this on the shelf...
One of my favorites.
Except it's, uh... it's fake,
Like the tv, the
stove, everything.
Did you want him to find out?
Was that the idea?
What are you talking about?
I thought I deleted it.
You thought? Did he see it?
No, but how could you do that?
I only get you for a
few hours at a time.
I just wanted something to keep.
We have to be more careful.
You can't just do something like
that without... I know. I'm sorry.
It just felt like some part
of you wants to get caught.
You know, maybe some
part of me does.
I... just so we can stop
lying and sneaking around.
'cause it may not bother you,
but it sure as hell bothers me.
Of course it bothers me!
Well, then why keep doing it?
You mean hiding it?
No, any of it. I mean,
what's the end game?
Would you ever leave
your husband?
Would you ever leave elaine?
I met her, you know...
At the restaurant.
What? She's lovely.
She's charming. She's
very friendly.
She's smart. What
did you say to her?
Nothing. We had a drink.
She had no idea who I was.
Why the hell would you do that?
Because I wanted
to know about her,
Because I want to
know about you.
Of... of being careless
for taking a picture,
And you sat down and you
had drinks with my wife?!
Do you love her?
Come on, sara. Do you?
I've been with her for 20 years.
You know, she...
She gets my jokes.
She knows every reference.
She knows everything about me.
Almost.
Yeah. Almost.
I love her.
You know, it's not the same
as it once was, but still.
And I love drew.
So what are we doing here?
Elaine: You know, you realize
you could have asked
Yes. I could have done that,
but, you know, it's complicated.
Yeah.
You don't seem complicated.
Ouch.
I just mean you... you seem
remarkably free of baggage.
Oh, I don't know.
I've got my problems.
Mm-hmm. Like what?
Like wanting what I can't have.
Elaine.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, meeting ended early.
You want to grab a coffee?
I would love to, but, uh,
I have this corporate
luncheon at 11:00.
It's gonna be a full house.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
Aidan: Did you need
anything else?
We're good. Thanks.
Uh, sorry. Jack, this is, uh...
Aidan. The wine guy.
Actually, would you mind
Bringing in the box
of pinot, please?
Sure.
Nice guy.
What's going on?
Uh, nothing. I told you.
Jack, you are not yourself.
What's wrong?
I got to go. Jack, talk to me.
It's me. About what? I told you.
I'm fine. All right?
So, you told your
husband about me?
Yeah, I told him you were
overcharging me for merlot.
But you don't know for sure.
Do I have proof? No.
But isn't it obvious?
She's nothing but trouble, jack,
And you should have
been on top of it.
Well, forgive me for
not being psychic.
You don't need to be psychic
to see we're being played.
You used to be better than this.
Now, are you gonna
handle this thing
Or do I need to bring
in someone who can?
Oh, by "someone," you mean zarek?
Yeah.
He's effective.
I'll straighten out brandy,
but we still need her, okay?
She's the only alibi t.J.'s got.
Okay.
But if she's working
for the feds, jack...
She's not an alibi.
She's a problem.
But I don't understand. Where...
where are you going?
To visit friends.
But for how long?
I don't know.
You kissed me.
You said that we don't kiss, but
then you did. You kissed me.
I-I did it because I didn't
want us to get in trouble.
In trouble for what?
What's going on?
Yeah, that's what
I've been wondering.
T.J., you mind? Brandy
and I need to talk.
No, I'm done talking.
Oh, really? To us?
Or to the feds?
You think they don't know?
You think anyone believes t.J.
Was with me?
Well, but they do believe it.
They... they let me go.
I-I don't mean to scare you,
but I can't help you anymore.
The best thing would
be for me to take amy
And go where no one
will ever find us.
You are not leaving.
Do you understand?
You will shut the
hell up and stay here
Until t.J.'s trial,
just like we agreed.
Stop telling me what to do.
You made a promise, and
if you break it...
Then what? What are you gonna do?
Kill me?
Just get out. Get out!
Let her go. All right.
Calm down.
I said let her go!
You stop scaring her!
T.J., she's not what you think.
Yes, she is. You
don't understand.
Stop talking! You
always talk down to me!
You bully people, you use
them, you hurt them,
Because that's your job!
Relax, okay?
Ever since we were kids,
you wanted to hurt me.
That's not true. Yes,
it is, and you know it.
You let me drive that night!
You didn't stop me!
You wanted it to happen!
You wanted to hurt me!
You had nothing... No
parents, no money!
We took you in. We
made you one of us.
We made you part of the family,
and you hated us for it.
You took it out on me.
Every time I see you, I know.
Hello?
Hi. You haven't seen
my phone, have you?
Nope. Sorry.
I don't know what I did with it.
Anyway, how's your day?
Good.
How about you? Any plans?
No, just a meeting
this afternoon.
At the office? No,
just over coffee.
All right, I'll keep looking.
Love you. Love you, too.
What if he comes back?
Or... or if your father
sends someone else?
Then I'll be right here.
I-I-I won't let
anything happen to you.
Oh, you don't know how
much trouble I'm in.
Well, I don't think anyone could
be in more trouble than me.
Listen, you heard jack.
Uh, if you stay here,
it'll be okay.
That's all they want.
It's not that simple.
I made mistakes.
But if they want to, they can
find you wherever you go.
Here, I can help you.
If you leave, I can't.
Stay here.
Let me help you. I want to help.
Sara: Jack?
Jack?
So, nothing happened? No.
You don't think that
jack seems off?
He's got a lot of
things on his mind.
A lot on his mind?
No, he's a wreck.
Well, he certainly isn't
at the top of his game.
I thought it might be
something at home.
And I thought it was
something at work. Ah.
Because ever since
t.J.'s arrest,
He's been preoccupied
and distant.
Maybe this is all too
much pressure for him.
Jack insisted on
handling it himself.
But maybe defending
your own brother-in-law
Is not the best legal strategy.
I suggested bringing
in another lawyer,
But he didn't want anyone
else representing t.J.
You know their history.
I imagine jack still feels
responsible for what happened.
The accident was a
long time ago, dad.
Jack never talks about it.
Elaine, the things
men never talk about
Are the things that
drive them crazy.
We grew up together. We
did everything together.
T.J. Knew all the bands.
I mean, he could talk our
way into any club, any bar.
Me... I was quiet, you
know, the wingman.
But he was the prince
of the north side.
You know, everyone knew
him or wanted to be him.
And he had this unbelievably
tricked-out camaro.
He loved that car.
One night, we got wasted
after a show at the metro.
We were driving home.
We cut through the skokie
lagoons, no lights...
Just pushing the car
faster and faster.
We took a curve too
fast, and the car...
It plunged into the water.
I mean it... It
hit like a shock.
The water started
pouring in everywhere.
And I'm screaming, you know,
"t.J., we got to get out,"
But he's not moving,
And the water's
closing up over us.
I can't see. I can't breathe.
And t.J.'s strapped in, and
m-my fingers aren't working.
And I start to black out.
So, I leave him,
And I swim up and grab some
air and dive back down.
But it's too late.
You know, he... he was under
For way too long
without any air.
And he's still
alive, but he's...
Afterwards, everybody's
thanking me.
You know, saying I saved him.
But I was driving.
I just wanted to drive
that car so bad.
I-I took the keys from him.
I never told anyone.
Not even him.
Maybe I-I waited a
second too long.
You know, maybe I could
have got him out sooner.
Look what I did to him.
Look what I took away.
Give me your clothes.
I'll wash them.
Thanks.
It's sweet of you to want
to get cleaned up for amy.
She'll be happy to see you.
I'm glad you're staying.
Well, I just said I
would think about it.
I'm still glad.
Why?
Why do you care so much?
What?
Nothing. I just...
Um... Brandy?
What?
I-I thought this
wasn't gonna happen.
Yeah. It won't.
I'm sorry about the photo.
It's okay.
I mean, you were right.
I do have this secret
hope that, somehow,
Something will happen, and
everything will change.
What would you want to do...
Want to be...
If you weren't working
for thatcher karsten?
I don't know.
Sometimes, I feel like
I'm in this... Cage.
The crazy part is every
single bar I put there...
You know, who I am, what I do.
You know, it was my choice
every step of the way.
Well, here's the thing.
You put the bars up. You
can take them down.
Excuse me?
Woman: All impeccably furnished
With cook's kitchens and
breathtaking views.
Stop by, and one of
our representatives
Would be happy to show
you a model apartment
Just like the one
that could be yours.
The montague... Where
your future awaits.
Now, what did you say
your name was again?
Bob. Bob drew.
And are you new to chicago?
Just moved from new york.
Oh, I've never been.
Yeah, I keep telling my husband.
Stupid silly.
I brought the wrong master key.
I'll just be a minute.
We offer a choice of
viking or sub-zero
And, of course, a
walk-in pantry.
You do like to cook? No.
Ah, here we are.
Here we go.
Et voilà.
No.
No, no, no. This is all wrong.
You don't like it?
This is north.
I need west. I told you
facing the wrigley building.
Well, they're all nice views.
The apartment on the tv...
Where is it?
Uh, that's penthouse 15,
but we're not showing it.
Sir. Sir!
Orestes, what's up?
Let me call you back.
It's about t.J.
I have to go.
Thank you.
You're a good man,
jack mcallister.
You may not know it, but I do.
Sorry I'm late. Oh.
My interview went long.
Did you get my text?
No, but it's okay.
So, what's this article about?
She just said you were doing this
major feature and we had to meet.
"25 chicagoans on the verge."
All under 40, all up-and-comers.
New blood... Not the
same old faces.
And I was thinking
simple black-and-whites,
But you're the expert.
Is the list set, or
is there still room?
Why? You got someone in mind?
Jack: Up till now,
the story's been
That t.J. Karsten
killed lou mrozek,
But that's all it is... a story.
You want to hear mine?
Darius miller, known as lil' d,
Is on the street
looking for a target.
He finds one... lou mrozek.
Lil' d takes out his
knife, approaches.
But lou's been uneasy lately...
Paranoid.
He's packing a gun.
There's a struggle.
Lil' d gets ahold of the gun
And shoots lou
twice, killing him.
And then he runs and the
murder weapon disappears.
Until now.
Word travels fast.
I know the weapon's been found
covered with lil' d's prints
But not t.J. Karsten's.
Not this office's finest hour.
Agreed.
Right. Then you understand
what I'm getting at.
Look, drew stafford's been
pursuing a personal vendetta
Against the karsten
family since day one,
And when this new
evidence is disclosed,
His case against t.J....
His story... is done.
And it'll be all over the media
That your department
prosecuted an innocent man.
Now, is that the first mark
you want to make as director?
He led a major corruption probe
Into the chicago
police department.
He just successfully
prosecuted bribery charges
For the councilman
fielding case.
He's a crusader, but he's
still pretty unknown,
And he's your husband.
I-I know, but I am telling you,
He's a really good subject
for this article.
The guy is gonna be senator
or governor someday.
He never stops working.
Okay, great.
Drew, what are you doing here?
Met an alderman for drinks. You?
Oh, just the man we
were talking about.
I'm greg.
Greg's gonna include you
In an article of
rising local stars.
Sara's been pretty persuasive.
He's gonna feature
you in the magazine.
Uh, that's... Great.
Thanks.
I got to go. Okay.
Meeting my husband for dinner.
We'll discuss the photos back
at the office. Sounds good.
Bye. Bye. Bye.
What's going on?
I just... I think
I'm going crazy.
I mean...
I got it off your camera.
Why didn't you say something?
Just answer me.
Are you having an affair?
No.
No. This is a test shot.
Of what?
For this... Series
of self-portraits
That I've been thinking about.
It's, like, uh, staged
scenes, like cindy sherman.
I took it a few days
ago at this apartment
That the magazine
used for shoots.
This reflection... who's that?
That's billy, one
of the interns.
I know. I'm no cindy
sherman, right?
Maybe I am going crazy.
No, it's totally understandable.
I... just next time you think
something, just ask, okay?
Don't dwell on it.
You're right. Yeah.
You're right.
What's that?
Oh, um... Ollie had a...
Bloody nose this morning.
Oh.
All right, well, I've got
to get back to the office,
But I'll see you later.
All right? See you at home.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
All right. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
What?
Sorry, I've been home sick. Why?
Confirmation for a hearing?
I don't have a hearing
scheduled for today.
Judge: Last on the docket... People vs.
Thatcher karsten jr.
Is everyone present?
Yes, your honor.
Yes, your honor.
The state has made a motion
to dismiss the case.
Is that correct?
That's right, your honor.
What the hell is going on?
Why is goss here?
I believe he's your new boss.
And is there any objection?
No, your honor. The
defense has no objection.
Then, on the state's motion,
and without objection,
The matter of the people vs.
Thatcher karsten jr.
Is hereby dismissed.
He did it.
Hey. Great, huh?
I don't know what to say.
It's okay.
Uh, I'm sorry for all
the things I said.
I was... I was way out of line.
It's something we should have
talked about a long time ago.
Well done, jack. Hey.
You did it.
It's over.
I told you it'd be okay.
Congratulations. Okay, well, get back
soon, because we're celebrating.
Right? Everyone,
to the restaurant.
Yeah, I'll call brandy.
I say we leave her alone.
She's learned her lesson.
The story's got a happy ending.
Let's leave it at that.
What about the feds?
She doesn't know anything
about our operation.
She's no threat.
You did good, jack.
Now that it's over, we can
get back to business.
We've got a meeting
with westlake capital
And lunch at the
builders association.
You coming, dad? Yeah.
Jack?
Are you all right?
What's going on?
I quit.
What?
What did you say?
I quit, thatcher. I-I-I quit.
You... you mean the case?
The case is over, jack.
I'm not working for you anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm done.
What did he mean, dad?
Is jack not working
for you anymore?
It sounded like he said he quit.
Nobody quits.
You pulled a fast
one, didn't you?
Karsten way.
The evidence speaks for itself,
Whether you choose to
believe it or not.
He's right. Let it go.
Evidence my ass.
You did something, and
when I find out...
You'll what? You'll
come after me?
There's nothing to find out.
Listen to your colleague.
It's over.
Let's just put this
behind us, hmm?
You hurt your hand.
Reporter: Mr. Mcallister? Mr.
Mcallister, a statement?
Is it true new
evidence surfaced,
Exonerating t.J. Karsten?
Howard goss and the state's
attorney's department
Have acted with admirable
tact and speed.
Come on. We don't
need to see this.
That's all. Thank you very much.

Is that a man's name?
Previously on "betrayal"...
The cops pulled lou out of the
river with two bullets in him.
Orestes: Anything missing?
Oh, yeah. The bulb from the lid.
Brandy: You were with me
all night at the club.
That's the new truth.
My record cleaned, a green card.
If you make me an american,
I'll do whatever you want.
Slip the word "Friday"
into the conversation,
And we'll get you out.
I'm elaine, by the way.
I own the place.
Oh. Sara.
Oh, god! What is... what is it?
What... what is it?
Nice photos.
Drew?
Sara: Everything okay?
Yeah. Why?
You seem a little stressed.
I got a lot of work.
Yeah.
So, you're not annoyed that
I got sick at the party?
No, but, you know, next time,
A simple "let's
go" will be fine.
Maybe you should talk
about what happened.
You know, to your therapist,
about the panic attack.
Anyway, I really
like the photos.
Which ones?
The ones oliver took of
us before the party.
Why... were there more?
I just took some of him
playing t-ball, as well as...
Well, you'll have to
show me those later.
Mm-hmm.
You should go to bed.

I owe you for what you did
That time when we made
up the new truth.
Uh, I don't know what
you're talking about.
That time in the kitchen when
jack and dad were there.
Y-you told me to say...
She's out.
We got nothing.
Come on, ollie, get your jacket.
We're gonna be late.
Which one? The denim one.
Where is it? I don't know.
Where did you last leave it?
I don't know. Well,
try your room.
Sara: How'd you sleep? Good.
Look.
The necklace... You and
ollie gave it to me
For christmas two
years ago, remember?
Ollie picked it out.
Come on, mom. Sara:
Okay, boss man.
All right. See you later.
See you. Bye.
Bye, dad. See you!
Stafford, this is goss.
Cpd wants you down at a crime scene.
Says it's urgent.
I'll check it out, but I suggest
you call me as soon as you can.
Detective mitchell.
Yeah, who wants to know?
Interim director of the
state's attorney's office,
Criminal division...
Taking over for abrams.
Good for you. Where's stafford?
I wish I knew.
Maybe you can explain to me
Why you wanted an a.S.A. Down
at a routine crime scene.
Well, maybe it's not so routine.
Neighbors reported
gunfire around 4:00 a.M.
Mitchell: Looks like
an attempted robbery.
Kid didn't even make it inside.
Tragic. And?
We ran the kid's gun...
A .38 registered to
a one louis mrozek.
The victim in the t.J.
Karsten case.
But here's where it
gets interesting.
The bullets they took out of mrozek...
also from a .38.
How much you want
to bet they match?
You're saying mrozek was
killed with his own gun?
By a kid with a rap
sheet a mile long.
He's done time for
car theft, larceny.
This is the guy you're looking for...
not t.J. Karsten.
Stafford's had it all
wrong from the start.
Look, I haven't been able
to get ahold of him,
Drew is the one who
got me to do this.
We'll take care of you.
I promise.
But we need karsten on record
saying something we can use.
You have to go back in there.
Are you crazy?
Karsten knows. We're already
working on your green card.
You need to hold up
your end of the deal.
What I need is for you
to leave me alone.
Forget the deal.
Tell drew I'm out.
Yeah, our kid got to her phone
And accidentally
changed the pass code.
Oh, she's busy. That's
why I'm calling.
No, we don't want to
reset the whole phone.
Look, my name's on the account,
too, so what's the problem?
Fine. I get it.
No, you've been very helpful.
Jackass.
It's a good place to think...
Among other things.
Found this on the shelf...
One of my favorites.
Except it's, uh... it's fake,
Like the tv, the
stove, everything.
Did you want him to find out?
Was that the idea?
What are you talking about?
I thought I deleted it.
You thought? Did he see it?
No, but how could you do that?
I only get you for a
few hours at a time.
I just wanted something to keep.
We have to be more careful.
You can't just do something like
that without... I know. I'm sorry.
It just felt like some part
of you wants to get caught.
You know, maybe some
part of me does.
I... just so we can stop
lying and sneaking around.
'cause it may not bother you,
but it sure as hell bothers me.
Of course it bothers me!
Well, then why keep doing it?
You mean hiding it?
No, any of it. I mean,
what's the end game?
Would you ever leave
your husband?
Would you ever leave elaine?
I met her, you know...
At the restaurant.
What? She's lovely.
She's charming. She's
very friendly.
She's smart. What
did you say to her?
Nothing. We had a drink.
She had no idea who I was.
Why the hell would you do that?
Because I wanted
to know about her,
Because I want to
know about you.
Of... of being careless
for taking a picture,
And you sat down and you
had drinks with my wife?!
Do you love her?
Come on, sara. Do you?
I've been with her for 20 years.
You know, she...
She gets my jokes.
She knows every reference.
She knows everything about me.
Almost.
Yeah. Almost.
I love her.
You know, it's not the same
as it once was, but still.
And I love drew.
So what are we doing here?
Elaine: You know, you realize
you could have asked
Yes. I could have done that,
but, you know, it's complicated.
Yeah.
You don't seem complicated.
Ouch.
I just mean you... you seem
remarkably free of baggage.
Oh, I don't know.
I've got my problems.
Mm-hmm. Like what?
Like wanting what I can't have.
Elaine.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, meeting ended early.
You want to grab a coffee?
I would love to, but, uh,
I have this corporate
luncheon at 11:00.
It's gonna be a full house.
Everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
Aidan: Did you need
anything else?
We're good. Thanks.
Uh, sorry. Jack, this is, uh...
Aidan. The wine guy.
Actually, would you mind
Bringing in the box
of pinot, please?
Sure.
Nice guy.
What's going on?
Uh, nothing. I told you.
Jack, you are not yourself.
What's wrong?
I got to go. Jack, talk to me.
It's me. About what? I told you.
I'm fine. All right?
So, you told your
husband about me?
Yeah, I told him you were
overcharging me for merlot.
But you don't know for sure.
Do I have proof? No.
But isn't it obvious?
She's nothing but trouble, jack,
And you should have
been on top of it.
Well, forgive me for
not being psychic.
You don't need to be psychic
to see we're being played.
You used to be better than this.
Now, are you gonna
handle this thing
Or do I need to bring
in someone who can?
Oh, by "someone," you mean zarek?
Yeah.
He's effective.
I'll straighten out brandy,
but we still need her, okay?
She's the only alibi t.J.'s got.
Okay.
But if she's working
for the feds, jack...
She's not an alibi.
She's a problem.
But I don't understand. Where...
where are you going?
To visit friends.
But for how long?
I don't know.
You kissed me.
You said that we don't kiss, but
then you did. You kissed me.
I-I did it because I didn't
want us to get in trouble.
In trouble for what?
What's going on?
Yeah, that's what
I've been wondering.
T.J., you mind? Brandy
and I need to talk.
No, I'm done talking.
Oh, really? To us?
Or to the feds?
You think they don't know?
You think anyone believes t.J.
Was with me?
Well, but they do believe it.
They... they let me go.
I-I don't mean to scare you,
but I can't help you anymore.
The best thing would
be for me to take amy
And go where no one
will ever find us.
You are not leaving.
Do you understand?
You will shut the
hell up and stay here
Until t.J.'s trial,
just like we agreed.
Stop telling me what to do.
You made a promise, and
if you break it...
Then what? What are you gonna do?
Kill me?
Just get out. Get out!
Let her go. All right.
Calm down.
I said let her go!
You stop scaring her!
T.J., she's not what you think.
Yes, she is. You
don't understand.
Stop talking! You
always talk down to me!
You bully people, you use
them, you hurt them,
Because that's your job!
Relax, okay?
Ever since we were kids,
you wanted to hurt me.
That's not true. Yes,
it is, and you know it.
You let me drive that night!
You didn't stop me!
You wanted it to happen!
You wanted to hurt me!
You had nothing... No
parents, no money!
We took you in. We
made you one of us.
We made you part of the family,
and you hated us for it.
You took it out on me.
Every time I see you, I know.
Hello?
Hi. You haven't seen
my phone, have you?
Nope. Sorry.
I don't know what I did with it.
Anyway, how's your day?
Good.
How about you? Any plans?
No, just a meeting
this afternoon.
At the office? No,
just over coffee.
All right, I'll keep looking.
Love you. Love you, too.
What if he comes back?
Or... or if your father
sends someone else?
Then I'll be right here.
I-I-I won't let
anything happen to you.
Oh, you don't know how
much trouble I'm in.
Well, I don't think anyone could
be in more trouble than me.
Listen, you heard jack.
Uh, if you stay here,
it'll be okay.
That's all they want.
It's not that simple.
I made mistakes.
But if they want to, they can
find you wherever you go.
Here, I can help you.
If you leave, I can't.
Stay here.
Let me help you. I want to help.
Sara: Jack?
Jack?
So, nothing happened? No.
You don't think that
jack seems off?
He's got a lot of
things on his mind.
A lot on his mind?
No, he's a wreck.
Well, he certainly isn't
at the top of his game.
I thought it might be
something at home.
And I thought it was
something at work. Ah.
Because ever since
t.J.'s arrest,
He's been preoccupied
and distant.
Maybe this is all too
much pressure for him.
Jack insisted on
handling it himself.
But maybe defending
your own brother-in-law
Is not the best legal strategy.
I suggested bringing
in another lawyer,
But he didn't want anyone
else representing t.J.
You know their history.
I imagine jack still feels
responsible for what happened.
The accident was a
long time ago, dad.
Jack never talks about it.
Elaine, the things
men never talk about
Are the things that
drive them crazy.
We grew up together. We
did everything together.
T.J. Knew all the bands.
I mean, he could talk our
way into any club, any bar.
Me... I was quiet, you
know, the wingman.
But he was the prince
of the north side.
You know, everyone knew
him or wanted to be him.
And he had this unbelievably
tricked-out camaro.
He loved that car.
One night, we got wasted
after a show at the metro.
We were driving home.
We cut through the skokie
lagoons, no lights...
Just pushing the car
faster and faster.
We took a curve too
fast, and the car...
It plunged into the water.
I mean it... It
hit like a shock.
The water started
pouring in everywhere.
And I'm screaming, you know,
"t.J., we got to get out,"
But he's not moving,
And the water's
closing up over us.
I can't see. I can't breathe.
And t.J.'s strapped in, and
m-my fingers aren't working.
And I start to black out.
So, I leave him,
And I swim up and grab some
air and dive back down.
But it's too late.
You know, he... he was under
For way too long
without any air.
And he's still
alive, but he's...
Afterwards, everybody's
thanking me.
You know, saying I saved him.
But I was driving.
I just wanted to drive
that car so bad.
I-I took the keys from him.
I never told anyone.
Not even him.
Maybe I-I waited a
second too long.
You know, maybe I could
have got him out sooner.
Look what I did to him.
Look what I took away.
Give me your clothes.
I'll wash them.
Thanks.
It's sweet of you to want
to get cleaned up for amy.
She'll be happy to see you.
I'm glad you're staying.
Well, I just said I
would think about it.
I'm still glad.
Why?
Why do you care so much?
What?
Nothing. I just...
Um... Brandy?
What?
I-I thought this
wasn't gonna happen.
Yeah. It won't.
I'm sorry about the photo.
It's okay.
I mean, you were right.
I do have this secret
hope that, somehow,
Something will happen, and
everything will change.
What would you want to do...
Want to be...
If you weren't working
for thatcher karsten?
I don't know.
Sometimes, I feel like
I'm in this... Cage.
The crazy part is every
single bar I put there...
You know, who I am, what I do.
You know, it was my choice
every step of the way.
Well, here's the thing.
You put the bars up. You
can take them down.
Excuse me?
Woman: All impeccably furnished
With cook's kitchens and
breathtaking views.
Stop by, and one of
our representatives
Would be happy to show
you a model apartment
Just like the one
that could be yours.
The montague... Where
your future awaits.
Now, what did you say
your name was again?
Bob. Bob drew.
And are you new to chicago?
Just moved from new york.
Oh, I've never been.
Yeah, I keep telling my husband.
Stupid silly.
I brought the wrong master key.
I'll just be a minute.
We offer a choice of
viking or sub-zero
And, of course, a
walk-in pantry.
You do like to cook? No.
Ah, here we are.
Here we go.
Et voilà.
No.
No, no, no. This is all wrong.
You don't like it?
This is north.
I need west. I told you
facing the wrigley building.
Well, they're all nice views.
The apartment on the tv...
Where is it?
Uh, that's penthouse 15,
but we're not showing it.
Sir. Sir!
Orestes, what's up?
Let me call you back.
It's about t.J.
I have to go.
Thank you.
You're a good man,
jack mcallister.
You may not know it, but I do.
Sorry I'm late. Oh.
My interview went long.
Did you get my text?
No, but it's okay.
So, what's this article about?
She just said you were doing this
major feature and we had to meet.
"25 chicagoans on the verge."
All under 40, all up-and-comers.
New blood... Not the
same old faces.
And I was thinking
simple black-and-whites,
But you're the expert.
Is the list set, or
is there still room?
Why? You got someone in mind?
Jack: Up till now,
the story's been
That t.J. Karsten
killed lou mrozek,
But that's all it is... a story.
You want to hear mine?
Darius miller, known as lil' d,
Is on the street
looking for a target.
He finds one... lou mrozek.
Lil' d takes out his
knife, approaches.
But lou's been uneasy lately...
Paranoid.
He's packing a gun.
There's a struggle.
Lil' d gets ahold of the gun
And shoots lou
twice, killing him.
And then he runs and the
murder weapon disappears.
Until now.
Word travels fast.
I know the weapon's been found
covered with lil' d's prints
But not t.J. Karsten's.
Not this office's finest hour.
Agreed.
Right. Then you understand
what I'm getting at.
Look, drew stafford's been
pursuing a personal vendetta
Against the karsten
family since day one,
And when this new
evidence is disclosed,
His case against t.J....
His story... is done.
And it'll be all over the media
That your department
prosecuted an innocent man.
Now, is that the first mark
you want to make as director?
He led a major corruption probe
Into the chicago
police department.
He just successfully
prosecuted bribery charges
For the councilman
fielding case.
He's a crusader, but he's
still pretty unknown,
And he's your husband.
I-I know, but I am telling you,
He's a really good subject
for this article.
The guy is gonna be senator
or governor someday.
He never stops working.
Okay, great.
Drew, what are you doing here?
Met an alderman for drinks. You?
Oh, just the man we
were talking about.
I'm greg.
Greg's gonna include you
In an article of
rising local stars.
Sara's been pretty persuasive.
He's gonna feature
you in the magazine.
Uh, that's... Great.
Thanks.
I got to go. Okay.
Meeting my husband for dinner.
We'll discuss the photos back
at the office. Sounds good.
Bye. Bye. Bye.
What's going on?
I just... I think
I'm going crazy.
I mean...
I got it off your camera.
Why didn't you say something?
Just answer me.
Are you having an affair?
No.
No. This is a test shot.
Of what?
For this... Series
of self-portraits
That I've been thinking about.
It's, like, uh, staged
scenes, like cindy sherman.
I took it a few days
ago at this apartment
That the magazine
used for shoots.
This reflection... who's that?
That's billy, one
of the interns.
I know. I'm no cindy
sherman, right?
Maybe I am going crazy.
No, it's totally understandable.
I... just next time you think
something, just ask, okay?
Don't dwell on it.
You're right. Yeah.
You're right.
What's that?
Oh, um... Ollie had a...
Bloody nose this morning.
Oh.
All right, well, I've got
to get back to the office,
But I'll see you later.
All right? See you at home.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah.
All right. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
What?
Sorry, I've been home sick. Why?
Confirmation for a hearing?
I don't have a hearing
scheduled for today.
Judge: Last on the docket... People vs.
Thatcher karsten jr.
Is everyone present?
Yes, your honor.
Yes, your honor.
The state has made a motion
to dismiss the case.
Is that correct?
That's right, your honor.
What the hell is going on?
Why is goss here?
I believe he's your new boss.
And is there any objection?
No, your honor. The
defense has no objection.
Then, on the state's motion,
and without objection,
The matter of the people vs.
Thatcher karsten jr.
Is hereby dismissed.
He did it.
Hey. Great, huh?
I don't know what to say.
It's okay.
Uh, I'm sorry for all
the things I said.
I was... I was way out of line.
It's something we should have
talked about a long time ago.
Well done, jack. Hey.
You did it.
It's over.
I told you it'd be okay.
Congratulations. Okay, well, get back
soon, because we're celebrating.
Right? Everyone,
to the restaurant.
Yeah, I'll call brandy.
I say we leave her alone.
She's learned her lesson.
The story's got a happy ending.
Let's leave it at that.
What about the feds?
She doesn't know anything
about our operation.
She's no threat.
You did good, jack.
Now that it's over, we can
get back to business.
We've got a meeting
with westlake capital
And lunch at the
builders association.
You coming, dad? Yeah.
Jack?
Are you all right?
What's going on?
I quit.
What?
What did you say?
I quit, thatcher. I-I-I quit.
You... you mean the case?
The case is over, jack.
I'm not working for you anymore.
I'm sorry.
I'm done.
What did he mean, dad?
Is jack not working
for you anymore?
It sounded like he said he quit.
Nobody quits.
You pulled a fast
one, didn't you?
Karsten way.
The evidence speaks for itself,
Whether you choose to
believe it or not.
He's right. Let it go.
Evidence my ass.
You did something, and
when I find out...
You'll what? You'll
come after me?
There's nothing to find out.
Listen to your colleague.
It's over.
Let's just put this
behind us, hmm?
You hurt your hand.
Reporter: Mr. Mcallister? Mr.
Mcallister, a statement?
Is it true new
evidence surfaced,
Exonerating t.J. Karsten?
Howard goss and the state's
attorney's department
Have acted with admirable
tact and speed.
Come on. We don't
need to see this.
That's all. Thank you very much.
