Bull (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Justice for Cable - full transcript

Business becomes personal for Bull when TAC assists with a civil suit against the bank that funded the terrorists responsible for Cable's death.

How do you explain
the inexplicable?

You don't.

You just surrender to it.

You move on. Why?

Because... [SIGHS]
what other choice is there?

The thing about Cable, though,
if you knew her, you'd know...

she wasn't easy to move on from.

She wasn't easy to quit.

Take it from me. I hired her.
I fired her. I hired her again.

[LAUGHTER]

[SIGHS] But, hey, Cable
wouldn't want us to cry



too hard or cry too long.

She would want to know that we
all got together at her favorite hang,

had a bunch of beers,

put some of her favorite
songs on the jukebox...

and remembered
all those nutty t-shirts.

- To Cable.
- ALL: To Cable.

If there's anything I can do,
anything at all, don't hesitate to call.

- What?
- That's okay.

I can have my
husband take care of it.

[SNIFFLES]

The police called last night.

They recovered some
things from the car.

From her...

They said I could
come pick 'em up, but I...



It's okay. We can do that.

We'll take care of that.

And then we can
bring them to you.

Or not. Whatever you decide.

Hey, Marissa, can
you put the TV on?

Channel Three.

And if you are just joining us,

we have a late-breaking
development to tell you about.

According to investigators,
they now believe a single member

of the 40-person crew performing
routine maintenance on this bridge

less than three weeks ago
embedded plastic explosives

and a remote timer
in one small section...

- That's the bridge that Cable...
- The question now is,

if this wasn't a case of infrastructure
failure, but rather an act of sabotage,

perhaps even an act of terrorism,
who was behind it and why?

I don't have an answer, Ellen.

It's a horrible world.

We do unspeakable things to
each other. I wish I understood why.

Absolutely.

Whatever you need.
Whatever the hour.

I'm here. You call.

I'm not gonna drop dead
from a sip of whiskey.

You don't know
that. I might kill you.

- [GROANS]
- [KNOCKING]

- Did you tell him?
- He was on the phone.

- Tell him what?
- They found the terrorists.

Found the cell.

Where? When?

They were all killed.
Somewhere in Prague.

And according to reports,
no one is taking credit

for the bridge
collapse on purpose.

They wanted to make
it look like an accident.

They wanted to make us afraid
of everything we take for granted.

During the raid, they
found plans for, uh,

25 more of... what did
they call those... events.

Now they're checking all
over the country to make sure

that none of those
were put into motion.

- So what do we do now?
- Nothing. Nothing.

There's... there's
nothing we can do.

Leave here, we get in an elevator,
we hope that no one has messed with it.

We get on the subway,
and we hope that's safe too.

[LAUGHS]

You know, they've won.

They've taken that
certainty away from us.

They've taken
away our confidence.

And they've taken Cable.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Really?

Sure. Send him up.

Send who up? It's,
like, 3:00 in the morning.

BULL: I just kept thinking
about what Benny said.

How there was nothing to do.

Nothing to do but embrace fear.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[EXHALES]

Time for breakfast?

Eh, somewhere in the world.

- Sorry about the intrusion.
- No, you're not.

Nice speech the other day.

We haven't officially
met. I'm Greg.

- I'm her husband.
- I'm Jason. I'm her...

I know who you are.
This midnight caller thing...

You do this a lot?

- No.
- Yes.

You want something
stronger than that?

- No.
- Yes.

BULL: So here's my question.

How do you do this?

Plastic explosives.
Remote timers. Passports.

Twenty-some other events.
Training. It all costs money, right?

I mean, you have to house
people. You have to feed people.

Okay...

So where does all
this money come from?

Maybe a foreign
government somewhere?

Yeah. But how do you
get it here? To America.

How do you pay for all
this stuff, all these people?

You need credit cards,
bank accounts, cash.

- Sounds like you need a bank.
- Bingo.

Marissa, you must know
someone at the U.S. Attorney's office

- that specializes in terrorism.
- I do. But, Bull,

the terrorists are all dead. Who
is it you're looking to go after?

The folks that killed Cable.

The folks who helped pay
for that bridge to come down.

They bank with
Thoreau Financial.

A grand old 120-year-old American
bank with branches all over the world.

Your mom and dad probably
had a mortgage with them.

So why aren't you guys over
there right now, guns blazing,

throwing whoever's allowing
this to happen into prison?

Well, we would if we could.

Thoreau Financial was
actually investigated

by the Senate Banking
Committee in 2010.

Then again in 2014.
Then again last year.

They were cleared of any
wrongdoing each and every time.

But how is that possible?

You know, when my old
Homeland buddy Marissa called

and asked me if I'd meet
with the great Jason Bull,

I never would've guessed what
a babe in the woods you'd be.

Was that meant to offend me?
Never been called a babe before.

[LAUGHS] Have you ever
heard of John Honaker?

He's the CEO of Thoreau.
Basically, he is Thoreau.

He bought it in 2008
after the financial crisis.

He took a string of small
mom-and-pop community banks

and he built it into a multibillion
dollar financial institution.

No, you'll never get Thoreau.
People have tried. I've tried.

You bring down
Thoreau Financial,

and the repercussions will
affect the entire economy.

- So that's that?
- That is that.

- What about that guy?
- What guy?

- The guy who runs it all.
- Honaker?

What if I just went after him?

MARISSA: This is John Honaker,
the CEO of Thoreau Financial.

This is what he had to say
on television this morning.

All of us at Thoreau
Financial were shocked

when we learned earlier today
that the terrorists responsible

for that bridge collapse
apparently used our bank

to facilitate their
horrific activities.

To be clear, we are in contact with
Homeland Security, the CIA, the NSA,

and both local and
international law enforcement.

We're going to do everything
we can to get to the bottom of this,

to try and understand why it
happened, how it happened,

and to make sure that nothing
like this ever happens again.

In the meantime, our
prayers and sympathies

are with the victims
and their families.

And according to
Bull, he's our target.

We're not prosecutors. We can't
bring any criminal charges against him.

And as far as a civil lawsuit goes,
we cannot sue on Cable's behalf.

We are her employers,
not her family.

Seems like a fairly
minor technicality.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh, my goodness. Dr. Bull.

How can I say no?

Why would I say no?

It might be painful.

Reliving it again.

I'll be filing the
suit on your behalf,

so you may have reporters
knocking on your door.

As for court, you don't
have to be there every day.

I will pay for everything.

Still, you might want to
discuss it with your husband.

I love my husband.

But, uh, he's not
Cable's real father.

And, frankly, this is my call.

I don't suppose you've
ever lost a child, Dr. Bull.

Make it hurt.

I'm sure gonna try.

- Look at me.
- I'm looking.

- I'm not Cable.
- Thanks for that.

- The resemblance is startling.
- I'm an investigator.

And this is not a case
that you learn on, Bull.

This is a case that you... you
go out and you get the very best...

I've got this.

- DANNY: But he needs to hear that we...
- MARISSA: I've got this.

Really. I've got this.

See you in the morning.
[CLEARS THROAT]

You see that pile of papers on
the left-hand side of your desk?

Oh, my God, it's
the Da Vinci Code.

Who knew? It's been
here the whole time?

- I better call Tom Hanks.
- Those are resumes.

They have been
here for three weeks.

Okay, look, I don't want
to replace her either.

None of us do. It seems
callous and final, and I hate it,

- but if you want to win this thing...
- Well, I can't do it.

I can't... sit here
with strangers

and interview them and pretend
that I'm excited they're here.

Well, then you don't get to pick.
I'm getting someone in here ASAP.

- I have to.
- [SIGHS]

I'm heading home. I will start to
make calls as soon as I get there.

Then I'm going to bed.

So I'll see you tomorrow.

What do you mean?

Tomorrow? In the morning,
as opposed to later tonight?

Oh, come on. That was fun.

And yes, you'll see me in
the morning and not before.

What are you gonna do?

I'll just be here for
a few more hours.

Need to do a couple of miles
on the hamster wheel over there,

and then start learning everything I
can about Honaker and his lawyer.

Don't stay here too late. And...
don't fall asleep in your office.

And don't drink.

Can I at least have a few
friends over, have a small party?

I promise to clean up.
Dad said it was okay!

- Night, John-Boy.
- Night, Elizabeth.

- [MUSIC STOPS]

Sorry about the music. Helps
me stay awake when I work.

Oh, but I am so glad to see you. All
these trash cans have food in them,

- and they're really starting to smell.
- Miss?

Who the hell are you and how
in the world did you get in here?

Did they not tell you
someone was working tonight?

I'm supposed to be here. I
promise. See? Credentials.

[SHE SCOFFS]

You do not comport yourself like
someone who does office maintenance.

My name is Dr. Jason
Bull. These are my offices.

[LAUGHS] Oh, my gosh.

You're him?
Sugar. I had no idea.

- These belong to Marissa Morgan.
- I know.

She's the one who called me.

I'm Taylor. Taylor Rentzel.

She and I worked
together at Homeland.

She said you guys needed a
bunch of cyber-sleuthing done ASAP.

And as it turns out, tonight's
the night my three-year-old

goes to my ex
for two days, so...

Oh. Is that him on the phone?

Child on the left,
ex on the right.

Mauricio. And moron.

And Mauricio's very beautiful.

Actually, uh, moron's
kind of pretty too.

This is Ivan Gronsky, and
as I'm sure you've read,

he's the leader of the cell
that took down that bridge.

Right. And he was killed
along with the rest of his cell

- during the CIA raid in Prague.
- Right you are.

Mm-hmm. So why are we wasting
our time talking about a dead man?

Because at least the way
Marissa explained it to me,

you're trying to prove that this
guy personally used his bank

to launder money so the
bad guys could do bad things.

That is the working theory, yes.

So I've been looking for points
of intersection between this guy

and anyone
connected with this cell.

And by "points of
intersection," you mean...?

Any time banker fellow
and anyone from the cell

might have been at the
same place at the same time.

Or, in this case, just on the
same continent at the same time.

Okay.

And as it happens, for
about a six-month period,

Mr. Gronsky lived in America.

Really? And what
was he doing here?

He spent a semester
at an Ivy League school.

Do tell.

And guess who else
attended the same school,

three years ahead,
but at the same time?

Scrooge McDuck.

Thank you for doing this.

I'm sorry I
frightened you before.

I'm going to leave you now, so
you can dance, dance, dance.

And you're hired, by the way.
Did Marissa already talk money or...

Rein it in there, big guy. I'm not
hired, because I already have a job.

I work for Homeland Security.
Specialize in international banking.

And, uh, there is no pay, because
I'm not allowed to do this if there is.

Homeland policy. This is a
favor for my friend Marissa.

- And it's just for two days.
- Hmm.

- But it was a pleasure to meet you.
- A pleasure to be met.

And again, thank you... so much.

Anytime.

Can I help? He worked late.

Yeah. Well, I just got a love
letter from Thoreau Financial.

Motion to dismiss.

JUDGE: Miss George, I read your
motion to dismiss, all 220 pages of it.

If I could trouble you to
restate your argument briefly

- as to why I should dismiss this case.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

And let me begin by saying that
our hearts go out to the victims

of the I-99 Bridge collapse
and to their families.

But while we grieve for the
victims, we take strong exception

to the assertion
that Mr. Honaker

is somehow involved or
personally responsible.

And given the complete lack of evidence
to support such an outrageous assertion,

dismissal seems like the
only just course of action.

Mr. Colón, you haven't presented
the court with much information.

Yes, we know that, Your Honor.

Unfortunately, all of the
relevant transactional records

are in the possession
of Thoreau Financial.

All we're asking for is a
chance to examine their records.

Which is the very definition
of a fishing expedition.

Ooh, there's nothing wrong with
fishing. Sometimes you hook a marlin.

- What are you afraid of, Miss George?
- Mr. Colón.

Your Honor, terrorists
have struck our soil.

Thirty-seven people are dead,
including my client's daughter.

All of the victim's families,
every American, for that matter

is entitled to transparency.
They're entitled to the truth.

- Motion to dismiss denied.
- Thank you, Your Honor.

But barely. I'm allowing
this to go to trial,

but if you don't come
up with more than this,

I won't hesitate
to pull the plug.

Miss George, I'm ordering you to comply
with the plaintiff's discovery requests.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

They're trying to paper
us into submission.

Yeah. I can see exactly
what they're doing.

400,000 pages of transactions,
250 million routing records.

Every time little Timmy got a ten
dollar birthday check from his nana,

- it's in there.
- Hmm. Can you call them

and thank them for their
exceptional response to our request,

but see if they couldn't
send us their digital files?

Now that we have a new Cable.

- We have a new Cable?
- We have a temporary Taylor.

Mrs. McCrory. Ellen.

What's that expression?

"If it looks like a duck and quacks
like a duck, then it's probably a duck?"

Sorry, you lost me
at the first "duck."

A man came to my
home early this morning.

He knocked on my door.

He would not explicitly identify himself
as working for Thoreau or Mr. Honaker,

but he did let me know in no uncertain
terms that a $10 million settlement

was not out of the question
if I were to drop my lawsuit.

What'd you say?

I told him to go duck himself.

- You okay?
- [SIGHS]

Kind of pleased, actually.

I mean, they're basically
admitting they did it, aren't they?

If you give somebody money like
that, try to get them to go away...

That's exactly what it means.

We're making progress.

Yeah.

But we haven't made it hurt yet.

This trial's about banking and
coding and transactions and details.

We need people who are gonna
be able to absorb bits of minutiae

and not be overwhelmed.

Which means Honaker's lawyers
will be looking for the opposite jurors

with short attention spans.

People who, when confronted with
the enormity of complicated evidence,

will tune out.

Do you own a smartphone, sir?

- It's a phone.
- Okay.

And has anyone ever
texted you a photo on it?

Yeah. I think.

BENNY: All right. Well, let's
just assume someone has,

and let's assume that you
wanted to share that photo

with juror number eight.

Can you take me through the steps
involved for you to re-text that photo?

No.

You touch the picture,
and you drag it to his phone.

And how do you do that?

You just... you just drag
it as hard as you can.

You touch it, the picture or the
text message you're trying to send.

That highlights it.
Once it's highlighted,

an icon will appear
with the arrow.

You highlight that, and a
dialogue box will appear asking

for the phone number
you want to text to.

You enter the phone
number, and you press send.

Okay. I've got a riddle.

- Your Honor...
- I like riddles.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Now, a man has a fox, a
duck and a bag of beans.

And he has to get them across the
river, but he can only take one at a time.

Now, if he leaves the fox with
the duck, the fox will eat the duck.

If he leaves the duck with the
beans, the duck will eat the beans.

How is he...?

- I'm getting rid of all of them.
- Wait, why? They know the answer.

No. They just think they
do. There is no answer.

[MOUTHING]

So here's the good
news. You have a case.

The bad news is it's
a circumstantial case.

- We've won with circumstantial.
- Well, you won't win with this one.

The terrorist accounts
should have been red-flagged

by the bank's own internal
auditing system, and they weren't.

A problem with the program?

I'm sure that's what
they want you to think.

But then I found 71 other
suspicious activity alerts

that the bank was
all over, immediately.

- But not Gronsky's.
- Not Gronsky's.

You find any direct connection
between Honaker and the terrorist?

Now that you mention it,
apparently Honaker was in Panama

with a group of bankers two
days after that bridge came down.

And that matters because...?

I cheated. I ran an NSA check.

Gronsky was off
the grid at that time,

and the soft intel suggests
he was probably in Panama.

That's really great. But
it's still not conclusive.

We made a point to pick a jury
that would pay attention to the details,

follow a fact pattern,
not leap to conclusions.

- [PHONE CHIMES]
- We really need proof. Hard proof.

Sorry to eat and run. My
daycare closes in 25 minutes.

I'll be in early
tomorrow, 7:30-ish.

- Nice to meet you, Danny, Benny, Chuck.
- Chunk.

Well, other than screwing up
my name, she's very impressive.

- Yeah, nice work, Marissa.
- Well, we only have her

for one more day, so
let's use her while we can.

Anything else on the
investigative front?

Yeah, I've got something.

So I've been tracking down
former employees who might be able

to shed some light on
Honaker and Thoreau,

and I found this independent
contractor who was hired

to write banking
code for Thoreau.

His specialty is defeating
governmental safeguard systems.

- Bingo.
- You think he'll talk to us?

Well, everyone I've approached
with any connection to the company

is either afraid to speak
or has signed an NDA.

Including this guy, Adam Shaw.

I don't get it. If he won't speak
to us, if he can't speak to us...

Well, the thing
is, uh, he's dying.

Stage IV lymphoma.

Well, nothing to lose. Chuck,
bring him in. Do your magic.

I know you had me
served with a subpoena,

but I'm honestly not sure I
can be of any help to you.

I only worked at
Thoreau for nine months.

Oh, let me be the judge of that,
Mr. Shaw. So you write code?

When I'm well enough to work,
which is not terribly often these days.

I'm sorry. Can I ask
you about John Honaker?

About Thoreau Financial?

You know, I'm... I'm not
supposed to tell you anything.

You know they made
me sign an NDA.

Yeah, but I know you know
there are 37 people dead.

And a lot of times,
that changes things.

Mr. Shaw, how did you come
to apply for a job at Thoreau?

I didn't apply for the job.
They... they sought me out.

And when you say "they...?"

I was... I was hired
directly by Mr. Honaker.

He seemed to know exactly
who I was and exactly what I did.

And this was shortly after
the terrorist Ivan Gronsky

- opened up his accounts at Thoreau?
- That's correct.

And at that time, did Mr. Honaker
explain to you exactly what he wanted?

He couldn't have
been more specific.

Uh, my first assignment was
to create a backdoor code.

And for those of us who don't speak
computer, what is a backdoor code?

It's a type of bypass key.

Um, it's a piece of code created
specifically to work around

the regulatory protocols set
up by the U.S. government

to detect suspicious
transactions.

- Everybody following along?
- They're hanging on his every word.

BENNY: That must have
raised some concerns for you.

I mean, the president of a bank
asks you to create some software

so that he can defeat
government safeguards.

I mean, yes and no. I
guess it should have.

The truth is that I
didn't specifically know

what they were going
to use the code for.

Sometimes banks
keep it as a failsafe.

They know a transaction is good,

and they don't want the
government freezing it or flagging it.

I mean, I didn't
specifically know

that Thoreau was going to use it
to thwart the AML or KYC protocols.

Again, a little help, sir.

[LAUGHS] AML are
anti-money laundering programs.

KYC stands for
"know your clients."

Uh, every bank is
required to have them.

Okay, so you create this code.

And how did you come to
realize that it was being abused?

I take pride in my work.

I would dip into the system
and monitor it from time to time

just to make sure that there
wasn't anything going wrong.

Just to get ahead of
any potential problems.

And that's how you became aware of what
the bank was really doing with the code.

Yeah. And I reported
it immediately.

Who did you report it to?

Hey, Mr. Shaw, it's okay.

To him. To John Honaker.

Things are getting really
green with our mirror jury.

The real one's buying it too.

You realize that you're breaking
your NDA by testifying with us today?

Of course. But I'm dying.

[SIGHS] What are
they gonna do to me?

- Nice work, Counselor.
- Thank you.

By any chance would you
gentlemen be free right now?

For you? Never
free. Always available.

My offices.

It's a shame we
didn't have a towel.

We could have handed it to her
here and now so she could throw it in.

Have Marissa call
Cable's mother.

Put her on high alert to
come to court tomorrow.

Will do.

You understand this is a
nuisance case for my bank, period.

It's bad PR, but PR
is highly perishable.

All it takes is a couple
of news cycles and...

What's it doing for
your stock price?

How many shares does
he personally control?

- Fifteen million.
- Ooh. And every dollar it goes down...

If you're suggesting that I put my
personal net worth over the safety...

That's not for us to decide. We're
comfortable leaving it to the jury.

We'll pay your client
$25 million to settle.

Obviously, I'm obliged to
share your offer with my client,

but I will strongly
advise her to reject it.

If you'll excuse me, have a
moment with my partner here.

And she does tend
to take my advice.

I'm trying to be reasonable here.
I'm trying to put this all behind us.

Oh, well... what do
you know, it's not there.

- What do you want?
- I want him to hurt.

The way my client is gonna
hurt every time she walks

by her daughter's bedroom.

The way those
families are hurting.

Mr. Colón, any idea
why your witness

has chosen not to grace
us with his presence?

Uh, Your Honor, I know that Mr. Shaw
was most anxious to be cross-examined,

and I know that with his illness
mobility can sometimes be an issue.

- We expect him any minute now.
- I will give him another three minutes.

Yes, Your Honor.

- Talk to me.
- He's dead.

- What?
- I went to his apartment

to pick him up, and the
ambulance was already there.

EMTs. The cleaning
lady found him.

JUDGE: Mr. Colón? Dr. Bull?

So the judge gave us a
continuance until tomorrow.

He's also giving the
jury a stern instruction

to disregard all of
Shaw's testimony.

- Well, there you have it.
- Can I ask a really horrible question?

Does anyone think it's just a
coincidence that that poor man

was found dead this morning?

For what it's worth,
everyone at the scene

believed they were
looking at natural causes.

There wasn't even a
hint of anything criminal.

From your lips.

TAYLOR: Knock, knock.

What you thinking, Lincoln?

Someone looks unhappy.

I thought we were finished
with you. How'd you get in here?

I was over at Homeland,

and I stumbled across something
I thought you might find interesting.

- Told Marissa all about it and...
- And she gave you her credentials.

Doesn't she know that goes
on your permanent record?

Doesn't she know she's not
gonna get into a good college now?

Why do you look so sad?

Our key witness, a
whistleblower Danny found,

suddenly died before he
could complete his testimony.

- I'm sorry.
- Pulmonary embolism.

- I had one of those a few months ago.
- I heard.

Fun fact: if you want
to poison somebody,

always choose
potassium chloride.

Leaves no trace and presents
as pulmonary embolism.

Oh, my God.

This guy Honaker helped kill Cable.
I'm pretty sure he killed my witness.

And it looks like he's
gonna go scot-free.

But that's not why you came
here in the middle of the night.

- Is that for me?
- Yeah, but...

Now I'm not sure if
it's gonna help or hurt.

Try me.

Remember I told you I had
soft intel that suggested Honaker

and Gronsky were
together in Panama?

This is two days after the
bridge collapse in Panama City.

BULL: Oh, my God.

This is great.

- This changes everything.
- It does and it doesn't.

I cheated again. I got that
by hacking into an NSA server.

You can't use it.

If you introduce that photo, I'll
be behind bars in a matter of days.

Well, why'd you bring it to me?

I just sensed how badly
you needed to know.

You were right all along.

I thought it was important.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Bull... you can't use it.

I understand.

- Can I have it, please?
- No.

I think you should
probably go now.

There's not a day gone
by since the tragedy

when I haven't wondered what
we could have done differently.

And what have you determined?

I believe we honestly
did the best we could.

You know, we handle over a
thousand transactions a second.

The possibility that we might miss one
errant financial anomaly, one exchange,

though infinitesimally
small, obviously still exists.

And that's no excuse.
We have to do better.

We will do better.

To begin with, we've taken
down Mr. Shaw's code,

and we are in the process of
setting up far more rigorous protocols.

Thank you, Mr. Honaker.
Nothing further.

- Cross-examination?
- Yes, Your Honor.

Just to clarify,

it sounds like you're suggesting
that the fault lies not with the bank,

and by extension not with you,

but with the coding created
for you by the late Adam Shaw.

I take no pleasure in
speaking ill of the dead,

but clearly his work was flawed.

Ah... I don't know
if I follow that.

I mean, he didn't make the software
that was supposed to spot the transactions.

The government did that.

He made the software that allowed you
to circumvent the government safeguards.

Objection. Is counsel
going to ask a question,

- or simply pontificate for the jury?
- I apologize, Your Honor.

And yes, I do have a question.

[SIGHS] Are you certain you
don't know an Ivan Gronsky,

the terrorist leader who
took down the bridge?

No. I do not, as I've
stated numerous times.

So, if you don't
know Ivan Gronsky,

then how do you
explain this photo...

Oh, my gosh. Bull,
you can't do that.

Which was taken in Panama

two days after
the I-99 collapsed?

That's you, isn't it,
with Mr. Gronsky,

together, a week before
the CIA and Interpol took him

- and the rest of his team out?
- Objection!

We've never seen this photo. We
have complied with the court order

to turn over our documents.

For the plaintiff to sandbag
us like this is beyond the pale.

Counsel, my chambers, now!

Dr. Bull, you too!

There's no foundation
for this photo whatsoever.

- It could have been Photoshopped.
- Okay, then.

Mr. Colón, Dr. Bull,

one of you had better tell me where
this photograph came from now.

It just surfaced this
morning on a small website.

Probably being picked up by all
the major media outlets as we speak.

For all we know, members of the
jury are looking at it on their phones

while we're back here
fighting. Can't control the media.

As for the veracity of the
photograph, may I suggest, Your Honor,

that since her client
is already on the stand,

why don't we ask
him to authenticate it?

He knows whether it's him or not, and
he certainly knows whether he was there.

You're right. Of course he
does. Let's get back in there.

It's a simple question, sir. Is
that you in the photo or not?

I'd have to study
it to say for sure.

Really? That's what you're going with?
You know what you look like, don't you?

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

- I'll concede, it looks like me.
- Looks like you?

[LAUGHS] Okay. All right.
All right, we'll go with that.

Uh, let me ask you
another question.

Uh, this guy who looks like you?

He looks pretty
angry in this picture.

Is it because his terrorist buddy
who'd been limiting his activities

to Eastern Europe suddenly
killed 37 Americans?

I mean, that must have really turned
up the heat on you and the bank.

[CHUCKLES] I'm sorry.

I mean the heat on the guy

in this photo who
looks exactly like you.

No answer? I understand.
It's a lot to digest.

But while you're thinking
about it, let me ask you.

How much did you and the
bank make with Gronsky?

- I don't know offhand.
- Well, according to our analysis,

he moved hundreds of millions
of dollars a year through Thoreau.

Funding from foreign
governments, ransoms.

Over the last decade,
over a billion dollars.

Again, I can't verify
those numbers.

What about your year-end bonus
this past year? Can you verify that?

- $80 million.
- BENNY: $80 million.

$80 million. Wow!

Whew!

Thirty-seven dead Americans
driving over that bridge,

trying to get home
to their loved ones.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

JUDGE: Has the
jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

In the above entitled action,

we find for the plaintiff in
the amount of $100 million.

- Thank you.
- Thank you for letting us do this.

Oh, my God! We did it.

And you... you were amazing.

Oh, Cable was. This was for her.

Yeah.

[INDISTINCT]

Hmm. I wish this felt better.

He doesn't look too unhappy.

Pocket change for him.

Just... wait a second.

John Honaker.

You're under arrest for
providing material aid to terrorists,

resulting in multiple deaths.

- You feel better now?
- Yeah.

I guess I do.

[SIGHS]

You know, everyone at
TAC still thinks it was me

that slipped that photo to
that anti-banking website.

Girl has to protect herself.

Soon as I realized you weren't
gonna give me the picture back,

I had to come up with a plausible
reason why it was out there.

Classic Homeland
move, by the way.

Using a news outlet to
launder a photograph?

Oh. I may steal that from you.

Unless, of course, you've changed
your mind and want to come work for me,

in which case
there'd be no point.

Well, that depends.

If I hadn't done what I did,
would you have sold me out?

Would you have used that photo?

I think you would have.

I think nothing matters more to
you than getting the bad guys.

I'm sorry.

Of course, this bad guy
had done something awful

to a member of your team.

You were seeking
justice for her.

Nothing for yourself.

I'd love to work for someone
who sticks up for me like that.

Excuse me?

I've already discussed money
and benefits and hours with Marissa.

- Hours? We don't do hours.
- I do.

But I promise you,
you and your company

will be the second most
important thing in my life.

Second.

That's all I have to offer,
and I'm offering it to you.

- Sold.
- MAURICIO: Mommy!

I believe you're being
summoned by Number One.

I believe he might have
just done a number two.

- See you Monday.
- See you Monday.
