Bull (2016–…): Season 6, Episode 12 - Caliban - full transcript
I know what brought you here,
and it's not money.
It's family.
You want to set something aside
for the people you love.
Your children. Their children.
Am I right?
Yes.
That's...
Absolutely.
I'm the same.
That's why I asked my son
to work with me.
Family is
everything.
We call our firm Safe
Harbor Wealth Management,
and that's what it is--
a safe place for your money.
We offer a unique
wealth management strategy
with consistent return
over the course...
Excuse us.
Kenneth, we're in a meeting.
The FBI is here.
The FBI?
They just
showed up, and one
of them handed me
this search warrant, and
now they're taking things.
They're just taking them.
Taking what?
Everything.
This says
they can seize
transaction records
back ten years.
Dad.
Everything's fine.
Kenneth,
get Tennenbaum
on the phone. We'll
sic the lawyers
on them and
sort this out.
I'll talk to him
in my office.
Make it the
conference room.
Yes, sir.
♪
It's like he just walked away.
Just... left.
He was a coward.
A thief and a coward.
I'm ashamed to call him
my father.
The search warrant and raid
were to investigate allegations
your father ran a Ponzi
scheme out of his business,
is that right?
It's now clear
that, for years,
Tim's father pretended
to open accounts for clients,
then stole their money.
There were
no investments.
How much did he take?
The accountants are
still digging,
but looks like $300 million,
give or take.
He didn't keep
all of it.
A lot went to payouts
to keep
the scheme going.
That's quite a scheme.
Another $160 million
is just... missing.
Apparently, my
father hid it.
No one knows where.
Getaway money, I suspect.
That's what we think.
An emergency wallet
in case he had to flee
the country.
As it turned out, that's...
not the exit he chose.
So, the feds
don't have your dad,
they don't have the money,
but they have you.
The FBI arrested Tim last night.
The government
is accusing him of conspiring
with his father.
And you say you didn't?
I don't say it.
I didn't.
I had no idea
what my father was doing.
Forgive me, but...
you were partners.
You ran the firm together.
He asked me to come work for him
after my mother died.
He was lonely.
I thought I was being
a good son.
I handled clients,
administration, but Dad
did all the investing.
I was as fooled as anyone.
You don't strike me as someone
who's easily fooled.
You think I'm rich, so I deserve
whatever they throw at me.
We didn't say that.
You understand
I'm not rich anymore?
The government seized
everything we own,
put it in a fund for
my father's victims. I get that.
They should
be compensated.
But I shouldn't go to prison
for something
I didn't do.
Tim.
Give us a minute.
I've known Tim
since high school.
I'm representing him despite the
fact I invested with his dad.
Tim comes across
a little cold,
but he's a good guy.
More to the point,
he's not his father.
The feds need somebody
to put in jail for this,
and Tim's their best shot.
He doesn't deserve it.
Will you help?
I am going to defer
to my partner.
Marissa?
If his assets have been seized,
how does he pay?
His wife's family's
footing the bill.
The check will clear.
Then I'm good.
Bull?
I guess we're in.
Thank you.
For what?
You said this would
be a partnership.
That felt like one.
Well...
sometimes I mean
what I say,
believe it or not.
Was that Timothy Darcourt
that just walked out or here?
Are we taking
his case, guys?
Yes, we are, but he
has his own attorney.
Well, I'm not so sad
to be sitting this one out.
Darcourt is not exactly
a popular name these days.
Hello?
Well, he's
pleading poverty,
but did you see
that shirt?
Must've been $500.
It was $800, actually.
If he walks into court
dressed like that, the jury's
gonna toss him in a tumbrel
and roll him
to the guillotine.
Ah, we can fix that.
We'll Sears him up a bit.
Thank you.
We will be right there.
Oh.
I believe
I have made some rain.
Oh. In what way?
Well, there's
a law firm in Chicago
that is looking to work
with an east coast partner
on a civil action.
Their rep's name
is Jacob Besarotti.
I had a Zoom meeting
with him yesterday,
and he's come in to follow up.
I don't know the name,
but I like the idea
of extending
our brand.
Right. With a little effort, I
think we can establish ourselves
as a national player.
Hm.
Is that the guy
you talked to?
Yes, why?
What are you doing?
Hey, man.
You lied your way in here?
It's not like
you gave me a choice.
Okay, we're not doing this.
You need to go right now.
Okay, but what if
I don't want to?
I don't care.
You're going, now.
Make me.
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
Go ahead, make me. Come on.
No. Don't. Don't touch me.
What are you gonna do--
show everyone how tough you are?
Oh...
Go ahead. Show everybody
how tough you are.
I told you what would happen...
I think you should.
Show everybody how
big and tough you really are.
I told you...Go ahead. You...
Ah, ah, ah!
Bull! Bull!
Bull, come on!
Come on!
What?
Is that Jake?
You know him?
Who's Jake?
He's my brother.
Hi.
♪
Oh, come on.
Are you kidding me right...
You can't come in here
and humiliate my colleagues.
Oh, I'm humiliating you?
Well, you come in here...
This is exactly what you do,
every single time.
I do it every single time?
You can't take a joke
every single time.
Because I am not...
The fight is not the point.
Oh, I'm Jason Bull.
Uh, my farts smell like books
and I got...You know what you do?
O-Okay.
All right, all right, all right!
Just stop it, just stop it.
Just sit. Sit down. Sit.
Do you always fight like this?
Yes.
When he'll talk to me.
Okay, well, it ends now.
Jacob.
I'm Izzy. Welcome.
Jason's told me about you
Do not believe...
and I'm so glad
to finally meet.
I don't care how it happened.
Well, I'm sorry
I missed the wedding.
Not that I got
invited, but...
Is that why you're here?
No.
No, I'm here because you
didn't give me a choice.
What do you mean?
I have been here for a week.
I text him, I call him,
and he's ghosting me.
Is that true?
I didn't call you because
I did not want to see you.
Honestly, I kind
of knew that,
so I took it as
a challenge, so...
You are so ungrateful
Here he is. I just and so manipulative.
calmed down,
and he's giving it...
Okay. We're not
doing this again.
Jacob, tomorrow, you're gonna
come have dinner at our home
because that's the way
I was raised.
That's what you
do for family.
It's the minimum you do.
I would be delighted.
Good.
Okay. Well, I will
see you tomorrow.
Do you have a problem with that?
Oh, far be it for me to question
the customs of the Colóns.
How long has it actually been
since you two have spoken?
13 years.
Wh...
What happened?
He knows.
Marissa?
Hey. Look,
about the, um...
Well, the lie
that I told you.
I was just trying to get through
to my stupid brother, who,
um...
Anyway, it had nothing
to do with you,
and I'm-I'm really sorry
that I got you involved.
I don't need an apology from you
or anything else,
for that matter.
Real slick.
Real slick, Jake.
Okay, so Bull got into
a WWE SmackDown and nobody got
a video? What were you thinking?
I'm a little disappointed,
I have to say.
Yes, my brother came
to the office, and we fought.
If you have any questions, don't
ask. I'm not answering them.
Where are we with
the Darcourt case?
Well, the, uh,
AUSA went to town.
She filed a slew of
charges, including
multiple counts of
fraud and tax evasion,
down to some stupid
misdemeanors.
Well, the government is
gonna claim that Timothy
was a conspirator
because of his father.
We need to paint
a counter-image to that.
We need to characterize
him as someone
who would never participate
in fraud, so,
Danny, I need you to find us
some character witnesses,
and, Taylor,
I need you to keep
going through
all the evidence.
Anything that draws a line
between Timothy and his father
and what he was up to,
we need to know.
Okay.
What's the jury plan?
We need people
who don't believe
in guilt by association,
who reject
collective responsibility.
Self-disciplined,
self-reliant.
Loners.
How are you gonna identify them?
"Hey, who hasn't been
out on a date recently?"
I have a few ideas.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's talk about cats.
Cats?
Mm-hmm.
How many people here own cats?
I don't mean one or two--
a lot of cats.
M-More than four?
Six?
All right,
so, working theory here
is cat people
are loners?
They keep to themselves
and expect others
to do the same.
I don't buy it.
I have a cat.
I'm not a loner.
Am I?
Whatever.
You have ten cats?
Yes,
since Mr. Pickwick
and Buster Fuzzly died.
And how does your significant
other feel about them?
My what?
Bingo.
Your Honor,
this juror is acceptable
to the defense.
We have our cat person.
What's next?
Jurors who reject
collective guilt.
Here's a hypothetical.
You're on a road trip
with a friend.
It's your car,
but you're napping,
your friend's driving, and
they get a speeding ticket.
When you wake up, they say
you should split the ticket.
Share the trip,
share the ticket. Should you?
I guess it sounds fair.
What about you, sir?
No way. Not driving,
not my ticket, not my problem.
Works as a freelance
proofreader,
votes libertarian.
I like him.
I mean, he'd be a bad friend,
but as a juror.
Your Honor,
this juror's acceptable.
Two down, ten to go.
Timothy Darcourt said you're a
neighbor of his in the building.
Sure, yeah, we've
known Tim for years.
And you're on the
residents' council together?
I am, yeah. Tim's been great.
Well, we're looking for people
to testify on his behalf.
I'm assuming
that's something
you could do, given that
you know him so well?
I'm so... Testify in court?
That's usually
where it happens, yeah.
Well, I don't...
I mean, um,
there's a-there's
a lot of feeling
about what Tim's father did.
Some people we know lost money.
Ah, well, like you said,
that's what his father did,
not-not him.
Yeah. I just... I don't want to
get in the middle of anything.
I'm sorry.
C'mon, Boots.
Man, dog people are the worst.
Hey.
You a cop?
What makes you think I am?
You got that cop way
of standing.
Like, wherever you are,
you got a right to be there.
Sharp eye. What do you want?
I overheard you mention
Timothy Darcourt.
I know something about him that
might be of use to the police.
Yeah? What's that?
The night before the old man
took a dive off that building,
Tim Darcourt called me
and asked if there's a way
to get out of the building
without going past
the security cameras.
Paid me $500 to tell
him how to do it.
Did he go out that night?
What do you think?
Timothy may have
been able to hide
from the cameras
in his building,
but once you're on the street,
there's no
avoiding them complete...
Wait. I think...
Okay. There.
That's Darcourt
at 69th and Madison
a little after midnight.
He's just standing there.
That's very suspicious.
Can you fast forward?
Ah-hah.
So, he got in the front seat.
He knows the driver,
clearly.
Can we see inside?
Mm... Not here,
the angle's wrong,
but there are traffic cams
up and down Madison.
This is 35 seconds later,
a block north.
That's the car,
there's Timothy and...
Isn't that
his father driving?
Yes, it is.
He didn't say anything
about a secret meeting
with his father, did he?
He very much did not.
So, what are
they up to?
I don't know.
But I'm gonna find out.
My father called me that night.
He was frantic.
He said he had to see me,
but no one could know
we were meeting.
What did your father
say when you met?
He confessed.
The fraud, the Ponzi scheme.
He said the FBI
was onto him, and that
he would be arrested
in a few days.
You know, the minute
he did that--
I mean that minute--
you should've called the FBI,
called me.
I wanted to.
I told him that's
what I was going to do,
but he was s...
sobbing. He begged me.
He said he needed a few days
to get things in order.
I didn't know what to do.
I said okay.
He was my father.
This completely undermines
our defense.
Why?
Our whole argument
is that you were ignorant
of the crime.
I was.
No, he told you,
and you hid
the knowledge.
For a couple of hours.
Doesn't matter.
The prosecution will say if you
lied about a couple of hours,
you could just as easily lie
about days, weeks, years.
Your credibility is shot.
I can't put him
on the stand now.
One thing I don't get--
your father kept his scheme
going for a long time
by being
supremely cautious.
Calling you,
seeing you--
that's a risk he didn't
have to take. Why did he do it?
He said he wanted me
to hear about it from him.
And he wanted
to give me something.
What did he give you?
He gave him a picture?
Yup.
This was from a family vacation
that, uh, they took
when Tim was a kid.
Milton said that he gave it
to him to remind him
of happier times, and he said,
"This is the only real gift
I have to give."
Well, that's just weird.
It's not even a good picture.
No.
It's not.
What is it Fitzgerald said
about the rich?
They're different
than you and me.
Mm-hmm. Yup. They're weird.
What are you doing?
Milton Darcourt was a thief.
Probably a sociopath, but...
he was not sentimental.
Hello.
What is that?
Taylor?
I think it's a Bitcoin wallet.
Uh, more, please?
A hard drive
you can keep Bitcoin on.
It's actually
the safest way to store it.
Milton Darcourt
tucked away $160 million.
You think he hid it there?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Can you get into that thing?
Not without a password, and
smart money says the only person
who knew the password
was Milton Darcourt.
What about Timothy?
Uh, we could ask,
but he didn't even know
about the wallet.
Can you... hack in?
I could try, but if you
enter the password wrong
too many times, it wipes
the drive. Goodbye Bitcoin.
Well, see if you can
get in there without destroying
$160 million.
Anything else impossible
you'd like done?
Now, we are not talking
about this with anyone.
Whoa, ho.
That's stolen property,
and if the judge finds out
that we withheld it,
we could be sanctioned
and prosecuted.
Yeah, if I found the doorman,
the cops will, too.
There's no way they don't
catch on to this eventually.
We'll deal with the doorman
if the cops find him.
As for that drive,
it's only stolen property
if the money's on there.
Don't we all think
that the money is on that?
Well, there might be
nothing on there,
or something
other than the stolen money.
We might suspect
the money's on there,
but we don't know it, so...
no problem.
Yeah.
Am I the only person who still
thinks there's a problem?
Mr. Mesry,
as Milton Darcourt's
executive assistant,
you conspired with him
in the fraud he perpetrated.
In fact, you're testifying here
as part of a plea agreement,
isn't that correct?
Yes. I would prepare
fake financial reports
that we sent to the clients
to make it look like
we had invested their money.
So, in pursuing
the firm's legitimate work
and the fraud, you spent a lot
of time with Milton Darcourt?
Yes.
Would you say
you spent the most
time with him?
No.
Who did?
His son, Timothy Darcourt.
They met every morning
for at least an hour,
spoke easily
a dozen times every day.
When Timothy Darcourt
arrived at the firm,
did Milton Darcourt
give you a directive?
He told me Timothy
was to see everything he did.
He wanted Timothy to know
every facet of the business.
Every facet.
No further questions.
We're in trouble.
Pearlander's saying
the right thing, but...
none of it's landing.
Why not?
Well, he keeps telling the
jury there's no evidence
Timothy knew what
was going on,
but their instinct is
telling them he had to know.
Well, didn't he?
See? This is what
I'm dealing with.
For a minute, I thought you were
gonna leave me out here.
Mm. I wouldn't do that
to my neighbors.
Wine. Nice.
Yeah.
Who says it's for you?
When our parents
split up, and they
asked us kids who we wanted
to stay with, he
and Jennifer said Mom.
I said Dad.
Why?
I... It just didn't
seem right to me
that he had to
be by himself.
That was kind of you. Wasn't it?
This paella is delicious.
Yes, very deft hand
with the saffron.
Thank you.
So, what are you doing now?
Just looking
for projects to finance.
I'm an opportunity
investor, like our dad.
Ah, is that what
you think Dad did--
opportunity investing?
Yeah.
I think that he identified
what people needed,
and then he raised money
to build it.
He was a glorified con man
with a realtor's license.
You're not that different
from Dad. You know that, right?
Yeah, we're peas in a pod.
Yeah, more than
you think.
Do your clients know
you failed the bar twice?
I have three PhDs,
and I never wanted
to be an attorney.
I own a trial
consulting firm, Jake.
So, you're a glorified con man,
but with a psychology degree.
What do you want?
Jason.
You wouldn't come here
just to say hi.
There's always an angle,
there's an ask. What is it?
Well, I wanted to meet
Izzy and Astrid.
Um...
And I want to talk about
the land in New Hampshire.
Mm.
You haven't built
anything on it.
Right? It's just,
it's sitting there.
It's doing nothing.
I think we should sell it.
And why do you want to do that?
Well, I'd like my piece of it.
There's a geothermal energy
project in Utah
that I am circling,
and I would just love
to put some money into it.
No.
What, no?
Like, no, we can't discuss it?
That's right. We can't.
Jason, we can.
Jennifer left me her interest.
I control it,
and as far as I'm concerned,
that is family property.
I would like to remind you
that I'm also family.
I don't care.
It's the last connection
we have to Jennifer.
It's the last thing we shared,
and I am not gonna sell it
so you can go waste money
on some cockamamie scheme.
Cockamamie scheme. Really?
Yeah.
You know, Jason,
all you had to do was say no.
You didn't have to
be a dick about it.
Actually, I...
I have to use the bathroom.
Oh, um, yeah, there's...
there's one in our bedroom.
You're fine.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
No, please,
please stay.
Thank you, but I-I...
I really should.
I think I should go.
What's the matter?
What? Nothing. I just...
No, no, you're sweating
and your breathing's elevated.
What's going on?
Nothing, okay? It's...
Can you please...
It's nothing. I'm going.
Hey.
What's in your pocket?
There's nothing. Okay?
There's something
in your pocket. Show me.
There's nothing.
It's none of your business.
Empty your pocket now.
Jason, what're you doing?
Would you get off my back?
Jake, you're not leaving here.
I'm just trying to go.
until you empty your pocket!
That...
That's mine.
That was in my jewelry case.
Jake?
You win.
What do you mean?
What do you think it means?
It means I'm...
I'm the idiot.
I'm the screwup brother
you always thought
I would be, right?
You happy?
What just happened?
I don't know.
Has he ever done anything
like this before?
Well, I mean, he's
asked for money.
Jake's always
got some...
business project going,
some scam, or whatever.
Well, is that
what got between you--
he didn't pay you back
for something?
Mm...
Not exactly.
Long time ago, he asked
for some money, and...
...and I gave it him,
but I told him
not to ask our sister.
Jennifer's husband...
was treating her worse,
and I knew that
if she gave Jake the
money, that he would...
...react badly.
And I told Jake
not to go to her,
but he did.
And, of course, she
gave him the money
because she was the softest
touch in the world.
And her husband responded
the way I thought he would.
Is that when he killed her?
No.
No, but it was
bad enough.
I just didn't want to talk to
Jake after that, you know?
But I've never seen him
the way he was tonight.
And, before, when he
would ask for money,
he would wheedle
and lie and cajole, but...
...he didn't steal.
He was unreliable, but...
never a thief.
Well, you know what that means.
He's desperate.
Mm.
Question is, why?
Marissa, what is it?
I just got a call
from Pearlander.
The AUSA
sent him a late update
to the witness list.
She's calling the doorman.
Danny was right.
The cops found him.
If the doorman testifies,
Pearlander has to put Timothy
on the stand
to explain what
he was doing that night.
Yeah, then the AUSA's
gonna point out
that he knew about the fraud
and he kept it a secret.
And the jury's worst suspicions
about him will be confirmed.
Ignorance isn't
a defense anymore,
so we are going
to have to assert
something positive,
something that will
show Timothy in a new light,
and get the jury to acquit him.
And what would that be, exactly?
Well, if Timothy announced
that he had found
$160 million in his father's
Bitcoin wallet
and gave it to something like
the victim's compensation fund,
I think that would
go a long way with the jury.
Don't you think, Taylor?
Oh, how's it coming
with the password?
Timothy doesn't know
the password.
I've gone through
all the evidence seized
from Milton Darcourt.
There's no sign
he wrote it down.
I know it's a 14-character
string of letters,
of which there are a bazillion
combinations.
We are asking for
a 24-hour continuance,
which means you have until
tomorrow to find the password.
Find it, please.
He knows I only get
three tries, right?
I hear the
cops found the doorman.
Now, I'm supposed to say,
"I hate to say I told you so,"
but the truth
is I really enjoy it.
Told you so.
Yeah.
I need you to do
something for me.
What's that?
I need you to find someone.
Yeah?
It's me.
Get lost.
Open up, I want to talk.
No.
Jake.
I'm sorry about dinner.
I was being a...
I apologize.
How many times
have you heard me do that?
Just open the door.
What happened?
Tripped and fell.
On what?
Two guys
with their fists cocked.
Okay.
You know that geothermal
energy project?
Yeah.
Well, I already borrowed
some money and invested in it.
But it turns out "geothermal"
derives from the Latin
for "no energy."
Nothing happened.
Money disappeared.
Now the guy I borrowed it from
wants it back,
so, um, last night,
him and his guys
found me and were, uh,
not too happy about it.
So...
Jake.
Why didn't you tell me?
I just...
I couldn't.
I know that you're still angry
about Jennifer.
And you were right, man,
you were right.
I should not have taken
the money from her, but...
...you just, you can't
act like you're the guardian
of her memory, or something.
Everyone acts like
you're this big hero
because you put her name
on the building, but...
I'm the one who she called
when things went bad
with the scumbag husband.
I'm the one
who told her to leave.
I-I did, I begged her.
I know.
And the truth is...
The truth is I've always
been angry at myself
about what happened to Jennifer,
about not being able
to help her.
And I think that...
over the years,
I've dealt with that anger
by putting some of it
on you, and...
that's not fair to you.
I am sorry.
I just miss her.
I do, too.
So, who do you
owe this money to?
His name is Mitch DeVries.
Runs a poker room.
How much we talking?
$86,000.
Okay.
Let's... get you out of here.
You can come and stay
at our place.
Seriously?
It'll give us a chance to...
really talk about
this DeVries guy.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, Jason?
Thanks.
This is everything Timothy
gave me about his father.
Great. None of these
have 14 letters.
Milton has to
choose a password,
he knows he's about
to be arrested.
It has to be something he's
100% sure he will not forget.
Milton's older. Analog.
He's gonna want
to keep it simple.
Maybe it's...
Ooh, that's pretty simple.
Do you want to try it?
Yes.
Oh, I knew I shouldn't
have done that.
It was your idea.
I know.
Don't you think, if somebody
wanted to give a picture
to remember him by, he would
choose a better one than this?
Why, you think the password
has something to do
with the picture?
Well,
he did tape the
wallet to it.
And look, there's a
sign behind them.
"Morse State Park."
14 letters.
Try it.
When you feel faint, do you put
your head between your legs
or do you blow into a paper bag?
Wait,
there's a shadow here.
Do you see it?
Yeah. What does that
have to do with anything?
I am texting Timothy.
Why?I have this picture of my aunt
and my grandmother from a
trip they took to New York.
My grandmother asked this
stranger to take the picture,
turned out to be Paul McCartney.
We call it the McCartney photo.
I don't think Paul McCartney
has 14 letters.
No. I just wonder
if the password is the name
of the photographer.
The shadow. Someone
who's part of the picture
but who isn't in it.
Timothy says the picture
was taken by a friend
of his father's named
Annette McCracken.
No. Too many letters.
No, but everyone called
her Netty. N-E-T-T-Y.
She went with him on the trip
and died in a car crash
on the way home.
Netty McCracken.
14 letters.
Netty?
Netty.
And when you turned
over the photo, did you have
any idea the Bitcoin wallet
was hidden behind it?
None. I was staggered.
What was discovered
on the wallet?
Objection, Your Honor. This
is irrelevant to the issue
of Mr. Darcourt's
guilt or innocence.
I'll allow it.
He better allow it.
Is there a chance
he wouldn't allow it?
Mm, small chance.
Nobody told me that.
Ladies, you're missing
the big finish.
We found $163 million
my father had stored there.
We've turned it over
to the police,
obviously, and we're
working to get it
into the fund
compensating
my father's victims
as quickly as possible.
No further questions.
You want to know
how the jury's feeling?
I don't need to.
I can see 'em.
Thank you, Marissa.
Thank you, Taylor.
Hey. How's it going
in jury land?
They're good.
Jury's deliberating.
You feel optimistic, or...
I do. Why do you ask?
I was just, you know,
trying to show an interest.
You never show an interest.
Hey.
Checked out Mitch DeVries.
NYPD has an eye on him
for loan-sharking,
but they've never been able
to put together a case.
If you want to talk about what
he did to you, they'll listen.
Oh, I do not want to talk
to the police, thank you, ma'am.
From I've heard about you,
I'm not surprised.
So what about the poker
game DeVries runs?
Nothing special.
But rumor is he cheats.
Excellent. Let's
go talk to him.
Want me to tag along?
No, I think we
can handle it.
You sure? He's got
a pretty bad reputation.
That's what
I'm counting on.

♪ But what I got

Are you Mitch DeVries?
♪ Ain't got that...
Yeah.
My name's Jason Bull.
This is my brother, Jake.
I believe you two
know each other.
Can we talk?
Okay.
It's come to my attention that
my brother owes you some money,
and I... I would like
to make good on that.
I was thinking maybe
we could do a payment plan,
and in installments,
I can guarantee it.
Is that something
you'd be interested in?
That's not how this works.
Yeah, I had a feeling,
but I thought I'd just
throw it out there.
I guess that brings me to
the second possibility,
which is I go to the NYPD
and tell them about
your loan-sharking.
I hear they'd be
very interested in that.
You don't want to do that.
Yeah, it wasn't really our
number-one choice either,
but, again-- possibilities.
Which brings me
to the third option.
You and I sit down
and we play a little poker.
I'll put $172,000
on the table-- double
what Jake owes you.
You win, you walk away
with all of it.
I win, and Jake walks away...
clean.
How do I know your money's good?
Ah. Good question, Mitch.
I brought a certified check.
Better than a suitcase
full of cash.
No poker.
Blackjack.
One hand. No tears.
No blackjack, okay?
That's just luck.
It's mostly luck.
No, it's-it's
all luck, okay?
You can't read his plays,
you can't see his tells,
and he cheats.
I g...
I got this.
Okay.
Blackjack. I like it.

Twenty.

You...
don't want to do that.
Well, that's my money.
That's my money.
Oh, I see.
Well, you can take it
if you want to.
I can't stop you.
But you really
want to do that?
Because if you do,
everyone will know
what you really are.
A cheat.
No tears.
And don't touch my brother.
Have you reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
On counts one through seven,
we find the defendant
not guilty.
And count eight?
On count eight,
misdemeanor criminal possession
of stolen property,
we find the defendant guilty.
Very well. I thank you
for your service.
The jury having
rendered its verdict,
we will meet again in six weeks
from today for sentencing.
Court's adjourned.
Tim.
Look happy. We won.
They found me guilty.
A misdemeanor. It's nothing.
You'll serve no time.
This is great, trust me.
Thank you.
You bet. Thank you.
I told them that I didn't know
he was stealing.
Under the statute,
you can be found guilty
of criminal possession
if the jury thinks
you should have known.
I didn't know what was going on.
You didn't know
or you didn't want to know?
It just doesn't
make sense to me.
I think what the jury
is trying to say is that...
your family is your family.
They're a part of you,
whether you like it or not.
Uh, don't be startled--
your brother's in your office.
Oh, I'm surprised you let him in
after what happened last time.
Oh, he asked politely.
Besides, there's a betting pool.
I got ten bucks says
he pins you this time.

Yeah, it's comfy.
Yeah, it is. Out.

Kenneth, we're in a meeting.
The FBI is here.
The FBI?
They just
showed up, and one
of them handed me
this search warrant, and
now they're taking things.
They're just taking them.
Taking what?
Everything.
This says
they can seize
transaction records
back ten years.
Dad.
Everything's fine.
Kenneth,
get Tennenbaum
on the phone. We'll
sic the lawyers
on them and
sort this out.
I'll talk to him
in my office.
Make it the
conference room.
Yes, sir.
♪
It's like he just walked away.
Just... left.
He was a coward.
A thief and a coward.
I'm ashamed to call him
my father.
The search warrant and raid
were to investigate allegations
your father ran a Ponzi
scheme out of his business,
is that right?
It's now clear
that, for years,
Tim's father pretended
to open accounts for clients,
then stole their money.
There were
no investments.
How much did he take?
The accountants are
still digging,
but looks like $300 million,
give or take.
He didn't keep
all of it.
A lot went to payouts
to keep
the scheme going.
That's quite a scheme.
Another $160 million
is just... missing.
Apparently, my
father hid it.
No one knows where.
Getaway money, I suspect.
That's what we think.
An emergency wallet
in case he had to flee
the country.
As it turned out, that's...
not the exit he chose.
So, the feds
don't have your dad,
they don't have the money,
but they have you.
The FBI arrested Tim last night.
The government
is accusing him of conspiring
with his father.
And you say you didn't?
I don't say it.
I didn't.
I had no idea
what my father was doing.
Forgive me, but...
you were partners.
You ran the firm together.
He asked me to come work for him
after my mother died.
He was lonely.
I thought I was being
a good son.
I handled clients,
administration, but Dad
did all the investing.
I was as fooled as anyone.
You don't strike me as someone
who's easily fooled.
You think I'm rich, so I deserve
whatever they throw at me.
We didn't say that.
You understand
I'm not rich anymore?
The government seized
everything we own,
put it in a fund for
my father's victims. I get that.
They should
be compensated.
But I shouldn't go to prison
for something
I didn't do.
Tim.
Give us a minute.
I've known Tim
since high school.
I'm representing him despite the
fact I invested with his dad.
Tim comes across
a little cold,
but he's a good guy.
More to the point,
he's not his father.
The feds need somebody
to put in jail for this,
and Tim's their best shot.
He doesn't deserve it.
Will you help?
I am going to defer
to my partner.
Marissa?
If his assets have been seized,
how does he pay?
His wife's family's
footing the bill.
The check will clear.
Then I'm good.
Bull?
I guess we're in.
Thank you.
For what?
You said this would
be a partnership.
That felt like one.
Well...
sometimes I mean
what I say,
believe it or not.
Was that Timothy Darcourt
that just walked out or here?
Are we taking
his case, guys?
Yes, we are, but he
has his own attorney.
Well, I'm not so sad
to be sitting this one out.
Darcourt is not exactly
a popular name these days.
Hello?
Well, he's
pleading poverty,
but did you see
that shirt?
Must've been $500.
It was $800, actually.
If he walks into court
dressed like that, the jury's
gonna toss him in a tumbrel
and roll him
to the guillotine.
Ah, we can fix that.
We'll Sears him up a bit.
Thank you.
We will be right there.
Oh.
I believe
I have made some rain.
Oh. In what way?
Well, there's
a law firm in Chicago
that is looking to work
with an east coast partner
on a civil action.
Their rep's name
is Jacob Besarotti.
I had a Zoom meeting
with him yesterday,
and he's come in to follow up.
I don't know the name,
but I like the idea
of extending
our brand.
Right. With a little effort, I
think we can establish ourselves
as a national player.
Hm.
Is that the guy
you talked to?
Yes, why?
What are you doing?
Hey, man.
You lied your way in here?
It's not like
you gave me a choice.
Okay, we're not doing this.
You need to go right now.
Okay, but what if
I don't want to?
I don't care.
You're going, now.
Make me.
Seriously?
Yeah, seriously.
Go ahead, make me. Come on.
No. Don't. Don't touch me.
What are you gonna do--
show everyone how tough you are?
Oh...
Go ahead. Show everybody
how tough you are.
I told you what would happen...
I think you should.
Show everybody how
big and tough you really are.
I told you...Go ahead. You...
Ah, ah, ah!
Bull! Bull!
Bull, come on!
Come on!
What?

You know him?
Who's Jake?
He's my brother.

I don't care how it happened.
Well, I'm sorry
I missed the wedding.
Not that I got
invited, but...
Is that why you're here?
No.
No, I'm here because you
didn't give me a choice.
What do you mean?
I have been here for a week.
I text him, I call him,
and he's ghosting me.
Is that true?
I didn't call you because
I did not want to see you.
Honestly, I kind
of knew that,
so I took it as
a challenge, so...
You are so ungrateful
Here he is. I just and so manipulative.
calmed down,
and he's giving it...
Okay. We're not
doing this again.
Jacob, tomorrow, you're gonna
come have dinner at our home
because that's the way
I was raised.
That's what you
do for family.
It's the minimum you do.
I would be delighted.
Good.
Okay. Well, I will
see you tomorrow.
Do you have a problem with that?
Oh, far be it for me to question
the customs of the Colóns.
How long has it actually been
since you two have spoken?
13 years.
Wh...
What happened?
He knows.
Marissa?
Hey. Look,
about the, um...
Well, the lie
that I told you.
I was just trying to get through
to my stupid brother, who,
um...
Anyway, it had nothing
to do with you,
and I'm-I'm really sorry
that I got you involved.
I don't need an apology from you
or anything else,
for that matter.
Real slick.
Real slick, Jake.
Okay, so Bull got into
a WWE SmackDown and nobody got
a video? What were you thinking?
I'm a little disappointed,
I have to say.
Yes, my brother came
to the office, and we fought.
If you have any questions, don't
ask. I'm not answering them.
Where are we with
the Darcourt case?
Well, the, uh,
AUSA went to town.
She filed a slew of
charges, including
multiple counts of
fraud and tax evasion,
down to some stupid
misdemeanors.
Well, the government is
gonna claim that Timothy
was a conspirator
because of his father.
We need to paint
a counter-image to that.
We need to characterize
him as someone
who would never participate
in fraud, so,
Danny, I need you to find us
some character witnesses,
and, Taylor,
I need you to keep
going through
all the evidence.
Anything that draws a line
between Timothy and his father
and what he was up to,
we need to know.
Okay.
What's the jury plan?
We need people
who don't believe
in guilt by association,
who reject
collective responsibility.
Self-disciplined,
self-reliant.
Loners.
How are you gonna identify them?
"Hey, who hasn't been
out on a date recently?"
I have a few ideas.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's talk about cats.
Cats?
Mm-hmm.
How many people here own cats?
I don't mean one or two--
a lot of cats.
M-More than four?
Six?
All right,
so, working theory here
is cat people
are loners?
They keep to themselves
and expect others
to do the same.
I don't buy it.
I have a cat.
I'm not a loner.
Am I?
Whatever.
You have ten cats?
Yes,
since Mr. Pickwick
and Buster Fuzzly died.
And how does your significant
other feel about them?
My what?
Bingo.
Your Honor,
this juror is acceptable
to the defense.
We have our cat person.
What's next?
Jurors who reject
collective guilt.
Here's a hypothetical.
You're on a road trip
with a friend.
It's your car,
but you're napping,
your friend's driving, and
they get a speeding ticket.
When you wake up, they say
you should split the ticket.
Share the trip,
share the ticket. Should you?
I guess it sounds fair.
What about you, sir?
No way. Not driving,
not my ticket, not my problem.
Works as a freelance
proofreader,
votes libertarian.
I like him.
I mean, he'd be a bad friend,
but as a juror.
Your Honor,
this juror's acceptable.
Two down, ten to go.
Timothy Darcourt said you're a
neighbor of his in the building.
Sure, yeah, we've
known Tim for years.
And you're on the
residents' council together?
I am, yeah. Tim's been great.
Well, we're looking for people
to testify on his behalf.
I'm assuming
that's something
you could do, given that
you know him so well?
I'm so... Testify in court?
That's usually
where it happens, yeah.
Well, I don't...
I mean, um,
there's a-there's
a lot of feeling
about what Tim's father did.
Some people we know lost money.
Ah, well, like you said,
that's what his father did,
not-not him.
Yeah. I just... I don't want to
get in the middle of anything.
I'm sorry.
C'mon, Boots.
Man, dog people are the worst.
Hey.
You a cop?
What makes you think I am?
You got that cop way
of standing.
Like, wherever you are,
you got a right to be there.
Sharp eye. What do you want?
I overheard you mention
Timothy Darcourt.
I know something about him that
might be of use to the police.
Yeah? What's that?
The night before the old man
took a dive off that building,
Tim Darcourt called me
and asked if there's a way
to get out of the building
without going past
the security cameras.
Paid me $500 to tell
him how to do it.
Did he go out that night?
What do you think?
Timothy may have
been able to hide
from the cameras
in his building,
but once you're on the street,
there's no
avoiding them complete...
Wait. I think...
Okay. There.
That's Darcourt
at 69th and Madison
a little after midnight.
He's just standing there.
That's very suspicious.
Can you fast forward?
Ah-hah.
So, he got in the front seat.
He knows the driver,
clearly.
Can we see inside?
Mm... Not here,
the angle's wrong,
but there are traffic cams
up and down Madison.
This is 35 seconds later,
a block north.
That's the car,
there's Timothy and...
Isn't that
his father driving?
Yes, it is.
He didn't say anything
about a secret meeting
with his father, did he?
He very much did not.
So, what are
they up to?
I don't know.
But I'm gonna find out.
My father called me that night.
He was frantic.
He said he had to see me,
but no one could know
we were meeting.
What did your father
say when you met?
He confessed.
The fraud, the Ponzi scheme.
He said the FBI
was onto him, and that
he would be arrested
in a few days.
You know, the minute
he did that--
I mean that minute--
you should've called the FBI,
called me.
I wanted to.
I told him that's
what I was going to do,
but he was s...
sobbing. He begged me.
He said he needed a few days
to get things in order.
I didn't know what to do.
I said okay.
He was my father.
This completely undermines
our defense.
Why?
Our whole argument
is that you were ignorant
of the crime.
I was.
No, he told you,
and you hid
the knowledge.
For a couple of hours.
Doesn't matter.
The prosecution will say if you
lied about a couple of hours,
you could just as easily lie
about days, weeks, years.
Your credibility is shot.
I can't put him
on the stand now.
One thing I don't get--
your father kept his scheme
going for a long time
by being
supremely cautious.
Calling you,
seeing you--
that's a risk he didn't
have to take. Why did he do it?
He said he wanted me
to hear about it from him.
And he wanted
to give me something.
What did he give you?
He gave him a picture?
Yup.
This was from a family vacation
that, uh, they took
when Tim was a kid.
Milton said that he gave it
to him to remind him
of happier times, and he said,
"This is the only real gift
I have to give."
Well, that's just weird.
It's not even a good picture.
No.
It's not.
What is it Fitzgerald said
about the rich?
They're different
than you and me.
Mm-hmm. Yup. They're weird.
What are you doing?
Milton Darcourt was a thief.
Probably a sociopath, but...
he was not sentimental.
Hello.
What is that?
Taylor?
I think it's a Bitcoin wallet.
Uh, more, please?
A hard drive
you can keep Bitcoin on.
It's actually
the safest way to store it.
Milton Darcourt
tucked away $160 million.
You think he hid it there?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Can you get into that thing?
Not without a password, and
smart money says the only person
who knew the password
was Milton Darcourt.
What about Timothy?
Uh, we could ask,
but he didn't even know
about the wallet.
Can you... hack in?
I could try, but if you
enter the password wrong
too many times, it wipes
the drive. Goodbye Bitcoin.
Well, see if you can
get in there without destroying
$160 million.
Anything else impossible
you'd like done?
Now, we are not talking
about this with anyone.
Whoa, ho.
That's stolen property,
and if the judge finds out
that we withheld it,
we could be sanctioned
and prosecuted.
Yeah, if I found the doorman,
the cops will, too.
There's no way they don't
catch on to this eventually.
We'll deal with the doorman
if the cops find him.
As for that drive,
it's only stolen property
if the money's on there.
Don't we all think
that the money is on that?
Well, there might be
nothing on there,
or something
other than the stolen money.
We might suspect
the money's on there,
but we don't know it, so...
no problem.
Yeah.
Am I the only person who still
thinks there's a problem?
Mr. Mesry,
as Milton Darcourt's
executive assistant,
you conspired with him
in the fraud he perpetrated.
In fact, you're testifying here
as part of a plea agreement,
isn't that correct?
Yes. I would prepare
fake financial reports
that we sent to the clients
to make it look like
we had invested their money.
So, in pursuing
the firm's legitimate work
and the fraud, you spent a lot
of time with Milton Darcourt?
Yes.
Would you say
you spent the most
time with him?
No.
Who did?
His son, Timothy Darcourt.
They met every morning
for at least an hour,
spoke easily
a dozen times every day.
When Timothy Darcourt
arrived at the firm,
did Milton Darcourt
give you a directive?
He told me Timothy
was to see everything he did.
He wanted Timothy to know
every facet of the business.
Every facet.
No further questions.
We're in trouble.
Pearlander's saying
the right thing, but...
none of it's landing.
Why not?
Well, he keeps telling the
jury there's no evidence
Timothy knew what
was going on,
but their instinct is
telling them he had to know.
Well, didn't he?
See? This is what
I'm dealing with.
For a minute, I thought you were
gonna leave me out here.
Mm. I wouldn't do that
to my neighbors.
Wine. Nice.
Yeah.
Who says it's for you?
When our parents
split up, and they
asked us kids who we wanted
to stay with, he
and Jennifer said Mom.
I said Dad.
Why?
I... It just didn't
seem right to me
that he had to
be by himself.
That was kind of you. Wasn't it?
This paella is delicious.
Yes, very deft hand
with the saffron.
Thank you.
So, what are you doing now?
Just looking
for projects to finance.
I'm an opportunity
investor, like our dad.
Ah, is that what
you think Dad did--
opportunity investing?
Yeah.
I think that he identified
what people needed,
and then he raised money
to build it.
He was a glorified con man
with a realtor's license.
You're not that different
from Dad. You know that, right?
Yeah, we're peas in a pod.
Yeah, more than
you think.
Do your clients know
you failed the bar twice?
I have three PhDs,
and I never wanted
to be an attorney.
I own a trial
consulting firm, Jake.
So, you're a glorified con man,
but with a psychology degree.
What do you want?
Jason.
You wouldn't come here
just to say hi.
There's always an angle,
there's an ask. What is it?
Well, I wanted to meet
Izzy and Astrid.
Um...
And I want to talk about
the land in New Hampshire.
Mm.
You haven't built
anything on it.
Right? It's just,
it's sitting there.
It's doing nothing.
I think we should sell it.
And why do you want to do that?
Well, I'd like my piece of it.
There's a geothermal energy
project in Utah
that I am circling,
and I would just love
to put some money into it.
No.
What, no?
Like, no, we can't discuss it?
That's right. We can't.
Jason, we can.
Jennifer left me her interest.
I control it,
and as far as I'm concerned,
that is family property.
I would like to remind you
that I'm also family.
I don't care.
It's the last connection
we have to Jennifer.
It's the last thing we shared,
and I am not gonna sell it
so you can go waste money
on some cockamamie scheme.
Cockamamie scheme. Really?
Yeah.
You know, Jason,
all you had to do was say no.
You didn't have to
be a dick about it.
Actually, I...
I have to use the bathroom.
Oh, um, yeah, there's...
there's one in our bedroom.
You're fine.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
No, please,
please stay.
Thank you, but I-I...
I really should.
I think I should go.
What's the matter?
What? Nothing. I just...
No, no, you're sweating
and your breathing's elevated.
What's going on?
Nothing, okay? It's...
Can you please...
It's nothing. I'm going.
Hey.
What's in your pocket?
There's nothing. Okay?
There's something
in your pocket. Show me.
There's nothing.
It's none of your business.
Empty your pocket now.
Jason, what're you doing?
Would you get off my back?
Jake, you're not leaving here.
I'm just trying to go.
until you empty your pocket!
That...
That's mine.
That was in my jewelry case.
Jake?
You win.
What do you mean?
What do you think it means?
It means I'm...
I'm the idiot.
I'm the screwup brother
you always thought
I would be, right?
You happy?
What just happened?
I don't know.
Has he ever done anything
like this before?
Well, I mean, he's
asked for money.
Jake's always
got some...
business project going,
some scam, or whatever.
Well, is that
what got between you--
he didn't pay you back
for something?
Mm...
Not exactly.
Long time ago, he asked
for some money, and...
...and I gave it him,
but I told him
not to ask our sister.
Jennifer's husband...
was treating her worse,
and I knew that
if she gave Jake the
money, that he would...
...react badly.
And I told Jake
not to go to her,
but he did.
And, of course, she
gave him the money
because she was the softest
touch in the world.
And her husband responded
the way I thought he would.
Is that when he killed her?
No.
No, but it was
bad enough.
I just didn't want to talk to
Jake after that, you know?
But I've never seen him
the way he was tonight.
And, before, when he
would ask for money,
he would wheedle
and lie and cajole, but...
...he didn't steal.
He was unreliable, but...
never a thief.
Well, you know what that means.
He's desperate.
Mm.
Question is, why?
Marissa, what is it?
I just got a call
from Pearlander.
The AUSA
sent him a late update
to the witness list.
She's calling the doorman.
Danny was right.
The cops found him.
If the doorman testifies,
Pearlander has to put Timothy
on the stand
to explain what
he was doing that night.
Yeah, then the AUSA's
gonna point out
that he knew about the fraud
and he kept it a secret.
And the jury's worst suspicions
about him will be confirmed.
Ignorance isn't
a defense anymore,
so we are going
to have to assert
something positive,
something that will
show Timothy in a new light,
and get the jury to acquit him.
And what would that be, exactly?
Well, if Timothy announced
that he had found
$160 million in his father's
Bitcoin wallet
and gave it to something like
the victim's compensation fund,
I think that would
go a long way with the jury.
Don't you think, Taylor?
Oh, how's it coming
with the password?
Timothy doesn't know
the password.
I've gone through
all the evidence seized
from Milton Darcourt.
There's no sign
he wrote it down.
I know it's a 14-character
string of letters,
of which there are a bazillion
combinations.
We are asking for
a 24-hour continuance,
which means you have until
tomorrow to find the password.
Find it, please.
He knows I only get
three tries, right?
I hear the
cops found the doorman.
Now, I'm supposed to say,
"I hate to say I told you so,"
but the truth
is I really enjoy it.
Told you so.
Yeah.
I need you to do
something for me.
What's that?
I need you to find someone.
Yeah?
It's me.
Get lost.
Open up, I want to talk.
No.
Jake.
I'm sorry about dinner.
I was being a...
I apologize.
How many times
have you heard me do that?
Just open the door.
What happened?
Tripped and fell.
On what?
Two guys
with their fists cocked.
Okay.
You know that geothermal
energy project?
Yeah.
Well, I already borrowed
some money and invested in it.
But it turns out "geothermal"
derives from the Latin
for "no energy."
Nothing happened.
Money disappeared.
Now the guy I borrowed it from
wants it back,
so, um, last night,
him and his guys
found me and were, uh,
not too happy about it.
So...
Jake.
Why didn't you tell me?
I just...
I couldn't.
I know that you're still angry
about Jennifer.
And you were right, man,
you were right.
I should not have taken
the money from her, but...
...you just, you can't
act like you're the guardian
of her memory, or something.
Everyone acts like
you're this big hero
because you put her name
on the building, but...
I'm the one who she called
when things went bad
with the scumbag husband.
I'm the one
who told her to leave.
I-I did, I begged her.
I know.
And the truth is...
The truth is I've always
been angry at myself
about what happened to Jennifer,
about not being able
to help her.
And I think that...
over the years,
I've dealt with that anger
by putting some of it
on you, and...
that's not fair to you.
I am sorry.
I just miss her.
I do, too.
So, who do you
owe this money to?
His name is Mitch DeVries.
Runs a poker room.
How much we talking?
$86,000.
Okay.
Let's... get you out of here.
You can come and stay
at our place.
Seriously?
It'll give us a chance to...
really talk about
this DeVries guy.
Okay.
Okay.
Hey, Jason?
Thanks.
This is everything Timothy
gave me about his father.
Great. None of these
have 14 letters.
Milton has to
choose a password,
he knows he's about
to be arrested.
It has to be something he's
100% sure he will not forget.
Milton's older. Analog.
He's gonna want
to keep it simple.
Maybe it's...
Ooh, that's pretty simple.
Do you want to try it?
Yes.
Oh, I knew I shouldn't
have done that.
It was your idea.
I know.
Don't you think, if somebody
wanted to give a picture
to remember him by, he would
choose a better one than this?
Why, you think the password
has something to do
with the picture?
Well,
he did tape the
wallet to it.
And look, there's a
sign behind them.
"Morse State Park."
14 letters.
Try it.
When you feel faint, do you put
your head between your legs
or do you blow into a paper bag?
Wait,
there's a shadow here.
Do you see it?
Yeah. What does that
have to do with anything?
I am texting Timothy.
Why?I have this picture of my aunt
and my grandmother from a
trip they took to New York.
My grandmother asked this
stranger to take the picture,
turned out to be Paul McCartney.
We call it the McCartney photo.
I don't think Paul McCartney
has 14 letters.
No. I just wonder
if the password is the name
of the photographer.
The shadow. Someone
who's part of the picture
but who isn't in it.
Timothy says the picture
was taken by a friend
of his father's named
Annette McCracken.
No. Too many letters.
No, but everyone called
her Netty. N-E-T-T-Y.
She went with him on the trip
and died in a car crash
on the way home.
Netty McCracken.
14 letters.
Netty?
Netty.
And when you turned
over the photo, did you have
any idea the Bitcoin wallet
was hidden behind it?
None. I was staggered.
What was discovered
on the wallet?
Objection, Your Honor. This
is irrelevant to the issue
of Mr. Darcourt's
guilt or innocence.
I'll allow it.
He better allow it.
Is there a chance
he wouldn't allow it?
Mm, small chance.
Nobody told me that.
Ladies, you're missing
the big finish.
We found $163 million
my father had stored there.
We've turned it over
to the police,
obviously, and we're
working to get it
into the fund
compensating
my father's victims
as quickly as possible.
No further questions.
You want to know
how the jury's feeling?
I don't need to.
I can see 'em.
Thank you, Marissa.
Thank you, Taylor.
Hey. How's it going
in jury land?
They're good.
Jury's deliberating.
You feel optimistic, or...
I do. Why do you ask?
I was just, you know,
trying to show an interest.
You never show an interest.
Hey.
Checked out Mitch DeVries.
NYPD has an eye on him
for loan-sharking,
but they've never been able
to put together a case.
If you want to talk about what
he did to you, they'll listen.
Oh, I do not want to talk
to the police, thank you, ma'am.
From I've heard about you,
I'm not surprised.
So what about the poker
game DeVries runs?
Nothing special.
But rumor is he cheats.
Excellent. Let's
go talk to him.
Want me to tag along?
No, I think we
can handle it.
You sure? He's got
a pretty bad reputation.
That's what
I'm counting on.
♪
♪ But what I got
♪ I got
♪ Ain't gonna lose it no more
♪ Ain't got this...
Are you Mitch DeVries?
♪ Ain't got that...
Yeah.
My name's Jason Bull.
This is my brother, Jake.
I believe you two
know each other.
Can we talk?
Okay.
It's come to my attention that
my brother owes you some money,
and I... I would like
to make good on that.
I was thinking maybe
we could do a payment plan,
and in installments,
I can guarantee it.
Is that something
you'd be interested in?
That's not how this works.
Yeah, I had a feeling,
but I thought I'd just
throw it out there.
I guess that brings me to
the second possibility,
which is I go to the NYPD
and tell them about
your loan-sharking.
I hear they'd be
very interested in that.
You don't want to do that.
Yeah, it wasn't really our
number-one choice either,
but, again-- possibilities.
Which brings me
to the third option.
You and I sit down
and we play a little poker.
I'll put $172,000
on the table-- double
what Jake owes you.
You win, you walk away
with all of it.
I win, and Jake walks away...
clean.
How do I know your money's good?
Ah. Good question, Mitch.
I brought a certified check.
Better than a suitcase
full of cash.
No poker.
Blackjack.
One hand. No tears.
No blackjack, okay?
That's just luck.
It's mostly luck.
No, it's-it's
all luck, okay?
You can't read his plays,
you can't see his tells,
and he cheats.
I g...
I got this.
Okay.
Blackjack. I like it.
On one condition.
Fresh deck.
♪ Ain't gonna lose.
♪
Hit me.
All right, hold.
You don't want to bust.
He didn't recheck his card,
which means he's got
a high one under there.
All right.
Again.
Stay.
Me too.
Show.
Twenty.
Twenty.
That's a nice number.
I like 21.
You...
don't want to do that.
Well, that's my money.
That's my money.
Oh, I see.
Well, you can take it
if you want to.
I can't stop you.
But you really
want to do that?
Because if you do,
everyone will know
what you really are.
A cheat.
No tears.
And don't touch my brother.
Have you reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
On counts one through seven,
we find the defendant
not guilty.
And count eight?
On count eight,
misdemeanor criminal possession
of stolen property,
we find the defendant guilty.
Very well. I thank you
for your service.
The jury having
rendered its verdict,
we will meet again in six weeks
from today for sentencing.
Court's adjourned.
Tim.
Look happy. We won.
They found me guilty.
A misdemeanor. It's nothing.
You'll serve no time.
This is great, trust me.
Thank you.
You bet. Thank you.
I told them that I didn't know
he was stealing.
Under the statute,
you can be found guilty
of criminal possession
if the jury thinks
you should have known.
I didn't know what was going on.
You didn't know
or you didn't want to know?
It just doesn't
make sense to me.
I think what the jury
is trying to say is that...
your family is your family.
They're a part of you,
whether you like it or not.
Uh, don't be startled--
your brother's in your office.
Oh, I'm surprised you let him in
after what happened last time.
Oh, he asked politely.
Besides, there's a betting pool.
I got ten bucks says
he pins you this time.
You like the chair?
Yeah, it's comfy.
Yeah, it is. Out.
Out!
Okay.
I'm leaving for a while.
I'm gonna, uh...
Actually, I-I don't know
what I'm gonna do.
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks.
I did want to give you this
before I left.
Remember that day?
That's Peach Lake.
Was that the day that Dad...
Yeah, with the knife
and the fish.
He almost cut
his thumb off, yeah.
Oh, my God. That was a day.
Yeah, it was.
He'd love a call, you know.

thought he was a bad guy.
