Bull (2016–…): Season 4, Episode 20 - Wrecked - full transcript

Cell phone number'son the counter,

so is the doctor,so is the dad.

Do your best.We'll be home by midnight.

1:00 at the latest.Got it.

CAROLINE:
1:00?

I don't do 1:00.
I do, like, 10:00.

You do, like, 9:00.

Well, you'rein New York,

and I only get to see you
once a year.

So tonight we're going out
like grown-ups,

which means we'll get home
when we get home.



Okay. All right, kiddo.

Mwah. Lights
out at 10:00.

Hey, hey. Hug before I go.

[Taylor laughs]

All right.

See you in the morning,
sweet boy.

And then

they asked me if I'd consider
becoming vice principal.

Caroline, you never told me.

I know. I never told anyone.

And I never got back
to them, either.

But you love teaching.You love education.

You love all that.

Well, yeah. I mean, I do, or...



at least I did when I was
20 and I didn't understand

how the world worked.

I mean, I know I'll probably
do it for the rest of my life

and I get a ton of
satisfaction from it,

but it is so hard
to make ends meet.

Mm.

I mean, Henry's just six
years away from college.

I-I can't even imagine how
I'm gonna pay for that.

And, I don't know,
someday I'd...

just love to have somebody
do my nails for me.

You know?

Ugh, Caroline.

[laughs]

And sometimes,

in the middle of the
night, I-I can't sleep,

so I'll watch a couple of
those house-flipping shows

and I think, I could do that.

I just need a hundred grand
and six months to myself.

You know if I had a hundredgrand, I'd give it to you.

I would make us so crazy rich.

Tomorrow we're gettingour nails done.

Then flip a house?

[vehicle approaches]

Caroline!

[tires screeching][screams]

♪ Trunk in the front
like that ... Dumbo, yeah ♪

♪ When I got guap,
all of y'all disappeared ♪

♪ Before I dropped Stoney,
none of y'all really cared ♪

♪ Now they always say
"Congratulations" to the kid ♪

♪ And this is not a 40...

Please!

My friend!

Call 911!
WOMAN:
Hey, come on, get
in the damn car!

We got to go! Now!

[vehicle departs]No!

[crying]:
No, no. God, no!

[siren wailing]

Somebody help me!

[woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.]

Anything new?

[sniffles]No. She's still in surgery.

Mauricio still with the sitter?

Yeah, so is Caroline's son.

Have you called his father?

There is no father.
He's adopted.

Danny have any luck
finding the car?

No, but she is all over
her contacts at the NYPD.

Should have gotten
the license plate number.

Uh, Taylor, how many
black Lamborghini SUVs

can there be
in the city?

We will find it.

DOCTOR:
Ms. Rentzel?

You came in with
Caroline Collins?

Yes.

Maybe we should go
somewhere more private.

Why?

I'm sorry, but your friend
died on the operating table.

When we got into
surgery, we discovered

one of her broken ribs
pierced her aorta.

We did everything
we could,

but the internal bleeding
was simply too severe.

No!
I'm so sorry.

[whispers]: It's gonna be
okay. It'll be okay.

[sobbing]It'll be okay.

[shushes] It's gonna
be-- it's gonna be okay.

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor.

Taylor...

BULL:Come in!

Taylor.

I'm so sorry.

Oh...

Come on, have a seat.

Marissa tells me you've been
best friends forever.

We met in the second grade.

How is her son doing? Henry?

He's... destroyed.

I brought him with me.

I didn't know what else to do.

Chunk's giving him
the grand tour.

Trying to, anyway.

I think he just wants to
crawl into a corner and cry.

Hmm.

All right, well,
I'll get right to it.

The NYPD found the driver who
struck and killed your friend.

She is an 18-year-oldyoung woman named

Sonya Waliczek.

Oh, my God. That's amazing.

Who is she? Was she drunk?

Was she high? Is she in jail?

Actually, she is the daughter
of a foreign diplomat.

Which means,
even though she broke the law,

even though she killedyour friend,

she's protected
by diplomatic immunity.

She can't be charged,
she can't be held.

She can't even be triedfor what she did.

[laughs]BULL:
Just before you came in,

I was on the phone
with your friend's attorney.

Are you aware that, in the eventof her untimely death,

she had appointed you
Henry's legal guardian?

Wow.

Okay.

It was a conversation we had
when she first adopted Henry,

but it's not something
we've talked about ever since.

Well, according to the attorney,that's the plan.

That's what's in the will.

How do you feel about that?

How well do you know this boy?

I see him once a year
when his mom comes to visit.

[laughs softly]

But, honestly,if it's what Caroline wanted...

You know, just because it's what
she wanted for her baby

a dozen years ago
doesn't necessarily mean

it's what she would have
wanted for him today.

He's a preadolescent.

I'm betting his life
is pretty full.

Uprooting him
from Denver,

moving him to New York,

on top of all the other changesin his life

he has no
control over...

I don't know, Taylor.

Even Caroline might have thoughtdifferently if she was

presented with
the choice today.

[knocking on door]

He's gone for the day!

Are you heading out soon?

Oh, yes. Mere minutes away.

Just have to find a way to look
Taylor in the eye and say,

"We're gonna prosecute that girlwho mowed down your friend,

"so the most interesting thing
about her life won't be

"that the person who killed
her got away with it.

We're gonna make this right."

Honestly? Mere minutes away.

I'm sorry, I just can't believethe government not only allows

diplomats to run people down,

it gives their kidsimmunity, too.

Well, it's a
necessary evil.

Without diplomatic immunity,
our diplomats would be at risk

of prosecution on trumped-up
charges in foreign countries.

Especially in places
where the U.S. is unpopular.

Taylor.

Sorry to startle you.

Taylor, what are you doing here?

You're supposed to be
taking the day off.

It's okay. Henry and Mauricioare at the movies with my ex.

The thing is, I found something.

On the night of the accident,

Sonya posted tons of picsof herself out partying.

And there's
the same girl

in almost every photo.

Her name is Jade Bennington.

See how Sonya's wearinga black dress?

Okay.

So, right after
the accident,

the driver got out of the car

for just a second and I saw her.

She was wearing a red jacket.

Well, maybe Sonya

was cold and borrowed
her friend's jacket?

I thought of that, but that'snot the only thing that I found.

Now let meshow you something.

Why is her arm in a sling?

Exactly. And see the abrasions
on her face?

Kind of looks like she might
have been on the wrong side

of an airbag, don't you think?

Meanwhile,

Sonya doesn't haveso much as a scratch

in any of the picturesfollowing the accident.

So, then what if Sonya

wasn't driving at all?

What if it was her friend,who almost certainly

doesn't havediplomatic immunity?

Exactly. What do you think?

I think maybe you, me
and Benny take a trip

to the D.A.'s office
in the morning.

♪

FREDERICKS:
Mr. Rentzel, I reviewed
everything you sent over.

And I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna bring charges
against Jade Bennington

for the death of your friend.

A.D.A. Fredericks,
you've got an eyewitness

who puts Ms. Bennington
in the driver's seat.

You've got visual evidence
of injuries

that puts her
in the driver's seat.

The ambassador's
daughter confessed.

Excuse me?

Uh...

Sonya Waliczek?
The owner of the Lamborghini?

She confessed
she was driving the car

when your friend
was struck and killed.

BULL: Well, I'm
sure you'll concede

Ms. Waliczek could be lying
to protect her friend.

She knows we can't go after her.

That may be,
but as I'm sure you know,

it's nearly impossible
to get a jury

to find someone guilty when
someone else has confessed.

I just can't devote
resources to a case

I'm certain I'm gonna lose.

What if we went civil
instead of criminal?

How do you mean?

Well, what if Taylor brought
a wrongful death suit

against Jade Bennington,
on behalf of Henry?

Can we do that?

I don't see why not.

No, the real
question is,

can we win?

Won't know till we try.

Our biggest challenge
is gonna be

putting Jade behind the wheel.

That's easy. My testimonyputs Jade behind the wheel.

No, unfortunately,
your testimony

just puts a dark-haired girl ina red jacket behind the wheel.

And that could
still be Sonya.

Well, what about the pictures?
The facial abrasions?

Her arm is clearly in a sling.

Well, if I were defending her,
I would argue that all of that

is consistent with having
been in a car accident.

None of it suggests

in any absolute way
that she was driving.

Danny, you've been to the
club. I have to believe

one of the valets saw who
got behind the wheel.

Well, not that they'll admit to.

In fact, none of them
even remember

bringing the Lamborghini around.

Come on. A sweet
car like that?

BENNY: Oh, yeah. I suspect
that no one's gonna remember,

'cause they knowthey could be liable

for letting a drunk driverget behind the wheel.

Not to mentionboth girls were under 21,

and they allowed theminside to drink.

Well, I'll keep looking
for other possible witnesses.

Perhaps somebody
who was partying there

that night saw something.

Let's not forget, there
are traffic cameras

and security cameras
all over Manhattan.

Maybe one of them captured
an image of Jade driving.

I wouldn't be so sure.

I've found dozens of imagesof the Lamborghini,

and the windowsare tinted so dark,

you can't make out the driver.

None of this soundsvery promising, does it?

Really? I don't know,
I'm kind of encouraged.

Let's let Benny

file some papers
tomorrow morning and see

where that leaves us
before we gather up our towels

and throw them in.

[shushes]

Mauricio wanted
to sleep at his dad's.

He said it was
just too sad here.

[grunts softly]
You call home?

Yeah, I wanted
to get my homework.

And, um...

...people keep asking
about the funeral.

Working on it.

Working on lots of things.

I think we're actually gonna
be able to go to court.

Make the woman who did this
take responsibility for it.

And it will be you that's suing.

She'll have to answer to you.

Okay.

And there's some other thing

that I've been meaning
to talk to you about.

You know, your mom,

she was pretty smart, Henry.

She really tried to think of
everything when it came to you.

Even something as
tragic as this.

And she decided, if
something happened

and she couldn't take care of
you, she wanted me to do it.

To be your guardian.

I don't understand.You'd move to Denver?

Probably not.
I mean, I don't know.

I suppose anything is possible.

You know, when your mom
figured all these things out,

I didn't live in New York.

I didn't have a little boy.

You weren't 12.

The answer is,
I don't know... yet.

Whatever turns out
being best for you,

that's the answer.

So, who'd you call?

My friend Toby.

And, by the way,
he said his parents said

I could live with him.

I mean, if you didn'tmove to Denver.

Well, that's good. That's nice.

Options. It's always good
to have options.

[sighs]

Hug?

[sniffling]

BENNY:
And thus it begins.

Let's talk jury.

Hmm.

Well, we know the defense
is gonna make the jury aware

of Sonya's confession.

Either in their openingstatement or through testimony.

So we need to try and identify
people who will be able

to see that confession
for what it is:

the ultimate act of privilege.

One spoiled kid lending anotherher "get out of jail free" card

like it's a pair of Louboutins.

BULL [quietly]:Oh, boy.

PRINGLE:Prospective jurors,

now, this trial is likely
to last into next week.

So, pleaseraise your hand

if serving as a juror would be
a legitimate hardship for you.

You, sir, in the front row,

please state the reason
for your hardship.

TAYLOR:
I don't want to jinx anything,

but that seemed to me to go
pretty well. Am I wrong?

Nope. I'm pretty pleasedwith our jury.

Nice work, gentlemen.

Not that I'd expect any less

from the best jury whisperers
in New York.

He's being nice.He must want something.

Just to express my admiration.

Your strategy was very clear
and very smart.

Capitalize on our country's
growing animosity

toward the rich and privileged.

I guess we'll all find outtogether if it works.

To that end, while my client
Ms. Bennington

is completely innocent
in this matter,

her parents are convincedthat this case

will turn her
into a national scapegoat

for all the pent-up rage
toward the rich.

So, they've asked me
to offer $250,000 to end this

before subjecting herto a grueling public trial.

With no acknowledgment
of fault, of course.

But she was at fault.

If the Benningtonsare offering $250,000 to start,

I'm guessing there's more
on the table?

I'm sure I can find
some wiggle room

if you hit me
with a reasonable counter.

Can you give us till after lunchto confer with our client?

[clears throat]

Okay. Now you may speak.

Jade's parents can't just pay
to make this go away.

Do they really think
they can put a dollar figure

on Caroline's life?

You do realize that's
exactly what we're doing

with this lawsuit?

This is a civil
suit, not criminal.

At the end of the day,
it's all about the money.

No. If that girl isn't
willing to admit fault,

there's no amount of money
that can make this right.

[sighs]
It's a lot of money, Taylor.

It can go towards
Henry's future, his college.

Still.

I'm gonna say something
I know you don't want to hear,

but I'm gonna say it anyway.

I'm worried that
even if we win this lawsuit,

it's not gonna give you
what you're looking for.

You know what I'm looking for?

I want that girl to have
to sit in a courtroom

and hear about the woman
whose life she took.

I don't want her to be ableto buy her way out of that.

Because no matterwhat happens, win or lose,

she's gonna have to live
with what she's done.

And when she thinks about it,
I want her to be able

to put a face on the person
whose life she stole.

I want her to know
that Caroline mattered.

[crying]:
That the world was a better
place for her being here.

And a lesser place
now that she's gone.

That's what I want.

Understood.

I will let opposing counsel knowthat we are not interested

in a settlement at this time,

we very much look forward
to our day in court.

Thank you.

Good morning, Mr. Silver.
Now can you please

tell the court what it
is you do for a living?

I'm an influencer.Ah.

And for those of us
who might not be familiar,

can you explain
what an influencer does?

Brands hire me to promotetheir products on social media.

I mostly do fashion but some
restaurants and clubs, too.

I wear the clothes, go to theclubs, and then post about it

on the differentsocial media platforms.

And-and how do you know
the defendant Jade Bennington?

One of the clubs I post for,
The Burrow,

I see her there a lot.

BENNY:Huh.

But Ms. Benningtonis only 18 years old,

and these clubsserve alcohol.

Have any idea
how she gets into them?

I have no idea at all.

I guess you'd have
to ask her about that.

Now, did you happen to see
Jade Bennington at The Burrow

on the evening of March 4?

Yes. We were both
in the VIP lounge that night.

And was Jade with anyone?

Yes. She was with her friend
Sonya Waliczek.

And do you have any idea how
Jade and Sonya got to the club?

I-I mean, their mode
of transportation?

I saw them pull up
in Sonya's Lamborghini Urus.

BENNY:Oh, I see.So they drove themselves.

And, uh,

did you happen to see

if either of the girls
consumed alcohol that night?

Yes. I believe
both girls were drinking.

All right, now, so l-let's talkabout Sonya first.

How would you describe
her condition?

Would, would you say
that Sonya was a little tipsy,

or would you describe her
as inebriated?

Um, I believe she was...
I couldn't really say.

It's not like I administered ablood alcohol test or anything.

Yeah, but I'm sure
you witnessed her demeanor.

Was she slurring her words?
Stumbling around?

Yes.Yes to...?

Both. She was slurring her wordsand stumbling around.

Now, Jade, did she seem
inebriated to you, Mr. Silver?

Was she slurring her words
or stumbling around?

Yes.

But she wasn't as
drunk as Sonya.

BENNY:
Aha. Which
brings us back

to the Lamborghini,Sonya's Lamborghini.

You already testified

that she was slurring her wordsand stumbling around.

Do you know if she drove home
in that condition?

I doubt it.

When the girls were leaving,
I heard Jade

offer to drive Sonya's car
for her.

NICHOLS:Objection.

Hearsay.

BENNY:Counsel knows full wellthat the witness is sharing

a statement that indicates
the accused

was contemplating
breaking the law.

It's a statement against

penal interest, Your Honor,

which is not subjectto the hearsay objection.

I'll allow it.

I have no further questions.

So, Mr. Silver, did you
actually see Ms. Bennington

get behind the wheel
of that Lamborghini?

No, I did not.

NICHOLS:
Hmm.

So you really don't know
who ended up driving

Sonya Waliczek's car that night,do you?

No, I do not.

NICHOLS:I have no further questions

for this witness, Your Honor.

They still with us?

Well, we've planted
a seed of doubt.

Whether it actually takes root
and grows or not,

that's gonna be up to you.

Ready for witness prep?

Just about.

What you got there?

Opposition research.

On myself.

I don't want to be blindsidedby anything on cross.

You have $61,372
in credit card debt?

Girl, what are you doing?

Getting takeoutfrom Jean-Georges?

I know. I'm in
way over my head.

But I got divorced.

I had to find
and furnish my own place.

Plus, I've been taking care
of my sister's family

since her husband lost his job
last year and...

Okay. You don't have toexplain yourself to me.

But this is definitely somethingthat the other side could use.

I had a hunch.

That's why I put it
in the binder for you.

You were named as trustee
in Caroline's will, right?

Not just guardian?

Which means that
you control any money

that Henry would win
from this lawsuit,

whether he lives
with you or not.

I think that's how it works.

I'm just worried the other sidewill use Taylor's debt

to paint her as desperate.

Someone who would trump up
a false claim

to solve her own
financial problems.

Don't worry.

We just need to get out
in front of it.

We just need to be the ones whotell the jury about it first.

BENNY:
But surely,

if you receive money
for this lawsuit,

it will make your life
a lot easier, won't it?

I don't see how.

I certainly don't think
it should.

That money would be for Henry.

To feed him and clothe himand educate him.

Health care and
college and...

He's a 12-year-old boy.

Without a mom or a dad.

So, even if all of those thingsI just listed are provided for,

he's still got
an enormous hill to climb.

And I know everybody's mother
is irreplaceable.

But this boy didn't get

25 or 35 or 45 years with her.

He got 12.

And I don't know
what to tell him.

I don't know what to say.

I cannot come up with the wordsto make him understand

that despite all of the evidencethat's been thrown his way

these past few weeks,that the world is a good place.

That the worldisn't horrible.

Not when his amazing, kind

and beautiful mother
is run down in the street.

And no one even bothers
to say they're sorry.

[gallery murmuring]

Thank you. No further questionsat this time, Your Honor.

Are they with us yet?

Not a one of them.

[sighs]
I don't understand.

How can the jury
not be moved by that?

Because we still haven't proven

that Sonya wasn't
driving the car.

And at the end of the day,
that's all that matters.

NICHOLS:
That was very moving
testimony, Ms. Rentzel.

But then, I'm guessing you know

a little something about the artof testifying, don't you?

Would you mind telling
the jury who you work for?

I don't like where
this is headed.

I work for the
Trial Analysis Corporation.

Of course.

And the Trial Analysis
Corporation

is run by Dr. Jason Bull,
isn't it?

Yes.

And he's sitting right there,
isn't he?

Yes.And Dr. Bull

is considered one of the best
jury consultants

in the country,
isn't that right?

He prefers the term
trial scientist.

But, yes,he's very well regarded.

Sorry, trial scientist.

Now, isn't it true
that your job,

the job of the entire company,

is to manipulate juries
so that your clients

win favorable outcomes
in matters before the courts?

Well, no.
We don't manipulate anyone.

We assist in jury selection,
research trial strategies.

Our in-house attorney
will often represent clients.

Basically, we try to add science

and an understanding of humanbehavior into the trial process

in ways that help lawyers
assist their clients.

Do you deny that the company youwork for has a team of people

using highly advanced algorithmsand invasive personal data

about potential jurors to help

attorneys and clients zero in
on those

most likely to vote
in their favor?

No. I don't deny
any of that at all.

But I do deny
that it's manipulation

or that it's in any way
deceitful.

Since when is being smarter
than the other guy deceitful?

And isn't it true that
you rehearse witnesses?

Test certain pieces

of testimony to see which
lines are most effective.

Which answers elicit
which emotions

from which jurors?

The witness will answer
the question.

Yes.

It's a technique employed
by many attorneys

all over the world.

And how long did it
take you and your team

to write and test that answer
to your attorney's question

about whether or not any
money you illegally wrest

from my client...Objection!

...will improve your life?The attorney is testifying

and being misleading,

not to mention
badgering the witness

and citing facts
not in evidence.

That's not how it works.[gavel bangs]

Everything I said,those were my words.PRINGLE: Order!

My feelings.Order![gavel bangs]

Objection sustained.

Jury will disregard counsel's
last question

and the witness's answer.

Sorry for overstepping,
Your Honor.

I have no further
questions at this time.

[knocking]

Thank youfor coming over so late.

I'd have come to you,but the boys are both asleep.

I totally understand.
I'm sure you're upset.

That last round of testimony...I actually don't care.

Excuse me?I found somethingthat makes it all moot.

So, when the case started,

someone whoshall not be named

hacked intoJade Bennington's cell phone

and started recordingall of her conversations.

Oh, my God.
Taylor?

Now, before you lecture meon how I've crossed the line,

just listento what I found.

Now, I've captured hours
and hours of recordings

and I haven't been able
to listen to it all,

but I set up a keyword alertto help me sift through it all.

And tonight
I finally struck gold.

JADE: You're not going to flakeon me in court tomorrow,

are you?

That's Jade Bennington.

SONYA:
I said I'd be there,

and I'll be there.

And that's Sonya Waliczek,
the ambassador's daughter.

JADE: My lawyer said thatlady's attorney is super tough.

That he's going to try
to get us to crack.

You can't admit
that I was driving.

SONYA:
Come on. I'm not stupid.

JADE:
But he might try to trick you.

SONYA:
Jade, listen to me.

I've got you.

There it is.
This proves it.

Jade was driving.

Uh, yeah, it does.

But you know we
can't use it.

The judge will never
allow it into evidence.

It's an illegal recording.

I know that. But I was thinkingmaybe I'd post it

on Jade's"rich kids of whatever" account.

At least that way,
the world will know the truth.

Even if the jury doesn't.

No, you can't. You cannot,
under any circumstances,

post this recording online
or anywhere else.

You were eavesdropping
on a diplomat's family.

Do you understand how
big of a deal that is?

They will send you to prison
if they find out you posted it.

And they will find out.

You don't know that.

No. I do know that.

Taylor, these are
powerful people.

And do you really
think that

this is what Caroline
wants you to do?

Who is gonna look
out for Henry?

Who is gonna look
out for Mauricio?

Now give it to me.

Give what to you?The laptop.

Why?

So you don't do
anything stupid.

You'll get this back
when the trial is over.

Until then, you can borrow
one of the company's.

I hate you.

I know. I hate you, too.

Good luck in court tomorrow.

I'm gonna need it.

Please state your name
for the record.

Sonya Waliczek.

Ms. Waliczek,

on the night of March 4, wereyou involved in a car accident?

I was.

Can you please tell the court
what happened?

I was out with a friend.

And when I was driving us home
at the end of the night,

I thought I could make a light.

So I sped up.

But right when I went through
the light, this woman...

Do you need a moment?

This woman was crossing
the street.

So I slammed on the brakes,
but...

she just...

I hit her.

[gallery murmuring]

And after you struck
Ms. Collins,

then what happened?

I drove away.

[gallery gasping and murmuring]

And your friend, the defendant,Jade Bennington,

was she in the car
with you that night?

Yes, she was.

But just to be clear,
who was driving?

I was.

NICHOLS:
I have no further questions,
Your Honor.

Good morning, Ms. Waliczek.

Here's a question
for you.

Do you understand that if
Jade Bennington had been

driving the car that struck
and killed Ms. Collins,

she could be
prosecuted criminally?

Yes.

But you already confessed
to driving the car

that struck and killed
Ms. Collins.

So why aren't you
being prosecuted?

My father is an ambassador.

I have diplomatic immunity.

BENNY:
And isn't it true that

diplomatic immunity
also protects you

from being sued in civil court?

That's my understanding.

So, in truth,

you risk nothing
by confessing to this crime.

Do you, Ms. Waliczek?

Objection. Asked and answered.

I think Mr. Colón has madehis point, Your Honor.

I disagree. Overruled.

The witness will answer
the question.

I'm sorry.
What was the question?

Well, I was asking if you risk
anything by confessing

to striking Ms. Collins
with your Lamborghini Urus,

killing her, and then leaving
the scene of the crime.

No.

I mean, because isn't that
the reason why

you're confessing
to a crime you didn't commit?

Because Jade Bennington

is your best friend,

and she could besent to prison

for killing Ms. Collins,
but you can't?

[gallery muttering]

Do you honestly think I'd admit

to killing someone
if I didn't do it?

That I'd go through my entire
life letting the world think

I was a murderer when I wasn't?

Do you know what this
has done to my family?

My father, a man
who's spent his entire life

earning the confidence and trustof his government,

spent the last ten years earning

the confidence and trust
of your government,

knowing that people think his
daughter is just some spoiled,

irresponsible party girl

that killed someone
and is gonna get away with it?

Talk about a well-written,well-rehearsed

piece of testimony.

Look at 'em.

They're completely buying
what she's selling.

MAN:
Sure. But what's in it for me?

JADE:
What do you mean?

So you're saying the woman's
voice is Jade's?

Exactly.

Turns out Taylor's
been secretly recording

all of Jade's
cell phone conversations.

Excuse me?You know that's against the law.

I went through
all that with her,

even made her
give me her laptop.

But then I found myself going
through everything

to see if there might be
some bread crumbs

that would lead us to somethingwe can use legally.

And...?

And I think I found something
Taylor missed.

I don't know
who she's talking to,

but it seems
important.

MAN:
Well, it's a pretty big ask.

I thought I might get a pretty
big thank you in return?

I can show you
what I had in mind

if you can come over tonight.

JADE:
You're disgusting, Geoffrey.

I'm in serious trouble
and I need to know

if you're going
to help me or not.

GEOFFREY:
Of course I'm gonna help you.

I-I was just kidding.
If anyone asks,

I'll swear I never
even saw you that night.

So his first nameis Geoffrey.

All right, well,
since she dialed him,

I'll be able to hear the tones

and figure out
the number she was calling.

I should have his last name
in about 20 minutes.

Would you like me
to pay him a visit?

That would be great. I mean,
it sounds from the conversation

that he knows something,
don't you think?

Only one way to find out.

[doorbell rings]

Hello.

Hi. Good afternoon.
I was hoping I might be able

to speak with Geoffrey Conover.

May I say who's here
to see Mr. Conover?

I've got this, Paula.

And exactly why do you want
to speak with my son?

My name's Danny James.

I'm an investigator
working for a firm

that's handling a lawsuit
against Jade Bennington.

I've been speaking with
all of Jade's friends,

and I was hoping

to ask Geoffrey a few questions

about a car accident
that Jade was involved in.

No, I'm sorry.
My son's not talking to you.

I can get a subpoena
if you prefer, Mr. Conover.

I'd like you to remove yourselffrom my property.

Your Honor, we have reasonto believe that Geoffrey Conover

has highly relevant
and dispositive information

about this case.

ATTORNEY:Regardlessof what counsel believes,

I have a letterfrom Geoffrey's psychiatrist,

and she is quite emphatic
about the fact that Geoffrey

suffers from extreme anxiety,and that testifying in court

would be an undueemotional hardship for him.

Well, paying a very expensivelawyer clearly shows

that the Conover familyis interested in making sure

that their sondoes not testify under oath,

and on that basis alone, I...PRINGLE: Dr. Bull,

Mr. Colón...
[sighs]

...on what factual basis
have you come to believe

that Mr. Conover has informationthat's relevant to this case?

Well, based on publiclyavailable social media posts,

it's clear Ms. Benningtonand Mr. Conover have been

in regular contactsince the accident.

Really?

Clearly, Your Honor, this
is a fishing expedition.

I'm inclined to agree.

The fact that two people
have social media postings

that imply a friendship

seems like an awfully thin
premise on which to call

an emotionally fragile
boy to the stand.

I'm granting the motion
to quash your subpoena.

TAYLOR:
Dr. Bull, Benny...

...thanks for trying
for Caroline and Henry.

Hey, hey.

It's not overuntil it's over, right?

Well, unfortunately,
unless we can come up

with some concrete new
evidence that puts Jade

in the driver's seat, I fear
Taylor's probably right.

DANNY:
You know, the Conovers' place?

It's coveredin security cameras.

We could subpoena the footage.

And what do you expect to see?

The accident happenedon Sixth Avenue,

and the clubthey came from is downtown.

DANNY:
Well, once I realized

that Jade was speakingto this Conover kid,

I did a little sleuthingon social media.

You what?

DANNY:
And I discovered

he never leftthe house that night.

Geoffrey Conover was on Twitch,

livestreaming hisvideo game play the whole time.

So he could not have been outwith Sonya or Jade.

Well, so what is it that Jade
is afraid he'll give up?

Well, whatever it is, it hadto have happened at that house.

And I'm willing to betno security camera

is gonna be too emotionallyfragile to share it with us.

BENNY:So what'syour theory here?

Are you saying that afterthe accident, maybe the girls

went over to his house and toldhim what really happened?

CHUNK:
None of it matters.
The court's never

gonna grant a subpoenaon private video footage

without proofthat it will yield fruit.

And the only proof we have

are Taylor's recordings,which we cannot use.

You know, as wealthy as
the Conovers are, I bet

security cameras aren't the onlythings with eyes in that house.

What do you mean?

Well, they had to
have help, right?

They're rich people. They got
to have, like, a houseman

or a housekeeper or,
uh, maybe some nannies.

There was a housekeeper.She answered the door

when I went overto speak with Geoffrey.

Ms. Moyer, thank you
for agreeing to testify today.

Some men came to the door.

They gave me a piece of paper
and said I had no choice.

Yes. We subpoenaed you.

Nonetheless,we're grateful that you're here.

Now, would you mind tellingthe court where it is you work?

I work for the Conover family.

I'm their live-in housekeeper.

BENNY:And as their live-inhousekeeper, is it part

of your duties to answer
the door for guests?

Yes.And what happens
at night?

If a guest arrives
after hours?

Maybe when you're
already in bed?

If someone rings the doorbell
or buzzes the gate

for the garage at night,there's an alarm in my quarters.

And why is that?

The Conovers' son Mr. Geoffrey

often forgets his keys
when he goes out.

His parents don't like
to be bothered

after they've gone to bed.

Now on the night of March 4,
the day that Caroline Collins

was struck dead,
you were awakened by someone

buzzing the gate for the garage?

Yes.

It was some friends
of Mr. Geoffrey's.

They were very upset,
so I buzzed them in

and went down to the garage
to greet them.

Now, Ms. Moyer, what kind of cardid you buzz into the garage?

It was a black Lamborghini.

[gallery muttering]And did you see

who came out of the driver's
side of the car?

Yes. It was her.

[gallery gasping]

[gavel banging]

[exhales]

$10 million.

I'm not sure I can
even count that high.

Now that you know his futureis financially assured,

where are youwhen it comes to Henry?

[exhales]

Deep down, I think
he wants to stay here

for the same reasons
I want him to stay here.

Because we both feel
we owe it to his mom.

I'm just not sure
that's the best reason.

So what are you gonna do?

He has a best friend named Toby.

I've been speaking
with his parents.

They're really excited
about the idea

of Henry coming
to live with them.

He'd be in his same school,
near all of his friends.

Oh.

Have you looked
into these people?

[laughs softly]

I've run more background checkson them than I did

on any terrorist
while I was at Homeland.

But at the end of the day,
I think

I have to leave it up to him.

He hasn't chosen
any of the things

that have happened to him.

I think he has the right
to choose where to go next.

There you are.

I could've sworn
I looked under there.

Socks are tricky.
Socks are devious.

You'll start doing your own
laundry, and you'll see.

What happens when
I go back to Denver

and I can't find something?

That won't happen.

You've got Toby,
you've got his parents.

And if you lose something reallyimportant, you'll call me.

I'll fly out there,
I'll help you look.

You're still goingto the funeral, right?

Weekend after next,
Mauricio and I.

[whispers]:
I really miss your mother.

Me, too.

[buzzing]

Toby's here.

[door opens]

TOBY:Hey, Henry.

WOMAN:Henry... it's so goodto see you.

[indistinct chatter]

Welcome to New York, Henry's
best friend and his parents.
