Damages (2007–2012): Season 1, Episode 12 - There's No 'We' Anymore - full transcript
In the aftermath of her encounter with Ray Fiske, Patty Hewes finally takes Tom's call and is told Ellen has accused her of attempted murder. She returns to the city and posts Ellen's bail. Frobisher learns of Greg Malina's video confession and instructs his men to do whatever it takes to retrieve it. Ellen offers the video to Patty only if she agrees to take on her case.
NARRATOR:
Previously onDamages.
TOM: I don't know
how to tell you this.
Somehow Ellen's in jail.
She was arrested
for killing David.
David doesn't
love you anymore.
I've been
sleeping with him.
Clearly, the woman
is nuts.
There's always a solution.
What kind of solution?
A permanent one.
My name is Gregory Malina
and I want to make sure
my story gets out.
I got a letter
from Gregory Malina.
It's over, Art.
Photos link Ray Fiske
to Gregory Malina,
and the documents
prove that Fiske's guilty
of insider trading.
You should be
able to use that.
You can
have your job back.
I don't want it.
Gregory!
You're blackmailing
me, Patty.
I'm sorry.
[GUN FIRES]
DAVID: We really
have to wear these for
the rest of our lives?
Kind of terrifying, huh?
I don't know.
Maybe we're making
a big mistake.
Excuse me?
About the rings.
Maybe we should've
gone gold.
[CHUCKLES]
What are you
smiling at?
You're gonna look sexy
when you're bald.
[LAUGHS]
Bald?
No way.
I'm going toupee
all the way.
No, don't.
Why?
It's bad luck.
We should put them away.
You're making me nervous.
We should
lock them up.
They're not
insured yet.
Who's gonna
take them?
No one,
if they're hidden.
Please, babe.
Just put my mind
at ease.
All right.
Do you have the key?
It's on the desk.
Put them in
our hiding place.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
What's wrong?
I'll be there right away.
Who was that?
It was my sister.
She's in the Village.
They had another fight.
Patty?
[GASPS]
PATTY: He shot himself.
I need your help.
Have you called
the police?
Not yet.
Who else knows
about this?
Just us.
Take this.
Put it somewhere safe.
No one can ever know
what he was doing here.
I understand.
Not even David.
Ellen?
I can trust you?
Yes.

GUARD: Parsons,
got a roommate.
WOMAN: What's the matter,
rich girl?
Daddy won't post bail?
Lower bunk's mine.
Bitch, don't even...
I ripped off
a convenience store
and a bodega before
they busted my ass.
Well, I killed
my fiance.
Babe?
Hey!
Hey.
How's your sister?
Oh, she's fine.
You know, Carrie's
always a crisis.
You leaving?
Yeah, I just got called in.
I'm gonna see
you later, okay?
Okay. Hey!
I love you.
I love you, too.
How do you know
Raymond Fiske?
Patty.
We were
opposing counsel
on a case.
Is it common practice
to conduct business
this late?
Ray called me
at the last minute.
He said he needed
to see me urgently.
DETECTIVE 1:
What happened
when he got here?
He'd proposed
a settlement offer.
When I told him
that my clients
didn't accept it,
he got upset.
DETECTIVE 1:
Did he threaten you?
No.
He just got up and left.
I thought
the meeting was over.
But then
he came back and...
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Did it.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
There are no powder burns
on the woman.
Blood splatter,
angle of the trajectory,
position of the body...
This was a suicide.
Okay.
Can I take her home now?
Yes. You're free
to go, Miss Hewes.
But we'd like you
to stay available
in case we have
any other questions.
Of course.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
What? No. Slow down.
What?
You're... What?
Where?
Well... Jesus Christ.
How long have you been
standing out there?
No, no, hold on.
Hold on a second.
Jesus.
Arthur, these
are Detectives
Wright and Fleming.
They have a few
questions they
need to ask you.
Now, excuse me,
but where's Ray?
Why don't
we come inside?
No, where...
This is about Ray.
What do you mean?
What happened?
Last night,
he took his own life.
[SIGHS]
DETECTIVE 2: We have
reason to believe
that they were meeting
to discuss
your latest
settlement offer.
That's entirely possible.
We're in negotiations.
Were you aware
that there was a meeting
scheduled for last night?
No. No, I wasn't.
Has Mallory been told?
Amos is there now.
We should be with her.
DETECTIVE 1:
Mr. Frobisher.
When was the last time
that you spoke to Mr. Fiske?
Yesterday.
On the phone.
George Moore is dead.
I heard.
I don't even really
remember what we were
talking about. Some...
Probably details
about the case.
Did Mr. Fiske
give any indication
that he was distressed?
ARTHUR: No.
It's over, Art.
What is?
Are you aware
of anything
in Mr. Fiske's life
that could've driven him
to take this action?
No. No,
there was nothing.
You all right?
I'm fine.
Why did he do it?
I don't know.
Must've been horrible...
I'm sorry.
I want you to
shut down the office.
Send everyone home
for a few days.
Okay.
There's gonna be a hearing
with Judge Toomey.
I want you to take it.
I'll...
I'll handle it.
I'll be gone
for a while.
Sure.
Anything you need.
Thanks, Tom.
Come on, boy.
Come on.
I think I should
cancel my flight.
[SCOFFS] Phil,
go to your conference.
Not if Michael's
going upstate tonight
with Henry's family.
I'm happy to bail, Mom.
Henry and I can go up
any time we want.
No. No, I don't
want you two
changing your plans.
Patty, you shouldn't
be alone.
I prefer to be alone.
Really.
You sure?
You know
I'd tell you otherwise.
I want to go
to the beach house.
I want to get away.
[SIGHS]
[SHIVERING]
I knew Ray Fiske
well over 20 years.
He's a great lawyer,
and a friend.
We're all devastated,
Your Honor.
You have
my sympathies.
Something like this
happens...
Gives us all pause.
Needless to say,
we've been forced
to regroup.
New attorneys
are just beginning
to familiarize
themselves with
Mr. Frobisher's case.
I appreciate that.
Trial was set
for the end
of next month.
And I see
you're requesting
a six-month extension.
Mr. Shayes?
Well, first of all,
let me express
my condolences
to the entire firm.
We respect
the difficult position
Mr. Phillips finds himself in.
We understand
the challenge
of getting
new team members
up to speed, but...
Our responsibilities
lie with Mr. Frobisher's
5,000 employees
who can't pay
their bills.
For them,
justice delayed
is truly...
I'd have to agree,
Mr. Phillips.
You have
a proposed order?
A one-month continuance.
TOOMEY: Mr. Phillips,
the court empathizes
with your position.
Thank you,
Your Honor.
But after one month,
we press on.
Ray left something
for you.
It's on the desk.
Take your
time, Arthur.
Thank you.
Hey.
Ray Fiske killed
himself last night.
It's all over
the news.
I heard.
David, what is it?
Your sister called
to see
how you were doing.
She said she hasn't
spoken to you
in three weeks.
David, I...
Where were you
last night?
You told me
that you were fired.
I was, but Patty needed me
to meet with George Moore.
You didn't think
that you should
tell me?
I didn't want you
involved.
These people are dangerous.
I thought the less
that you knew, the better.
Oh, so this information
that you got
from George Moore...
Shows that
Ray Fiske is part of
the whole conspiracy.
So Patty used it
as leverage
against Fiske.
Is that why
he killed himself?
I don't know.
Patty was
blackmailing him.
Fiske was guilty
of corruption!
Enough, Ellen!
David, listen.
These men killed
Gregory Malina.
They probably
killed George Moore.
They do whatever
the hell they want,
and they'll keep doing it
until somebody
stops them.
Frobisher has to
take responsibility.
Winning this case
is the only way that
that is gonna happen.
And then what?
What do you mean?
Are you gonna
go back to Patty?
This is the kind of work
that I want to do, David.
Patty may be
a horrible person, but...
These guys are ruthless.
I don't know what
you are doing anymore.
I know exactly
what I'm doing.
Oh, really?
A man's dead now.
Was that the plan?
You, of all people,
should understand
after what they did to Katie.
I don't care about them.
I care about us.
This is what it takes.
I don't want this life.
Someone has to hold
these guys accountable.
You decide right now.
Do you want us
or do you want this job?
Please don't do this.
Right now.
Right now!
You can't decide,
can you?
David...
No.
We're done, Ellen.
[DOOR OPENING]
[DOOR CLOSING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Stop. Stop. Just stop.
Listen to me.
Damn it, will you just...
No! Lila!
You need to
stop calling me!
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
I'm sorry
to disturb you.
What do you want?
Oh? One of your
neighbors called
and said
they heard a bit of
a commotion earlier.
Just wanted to make sure
you two were all right.
Yeah, we're fine.
Is your fiance here?
She went out.
Everything's okay?
We're great.
Have a nice night.
Hey, you, too.
Malina made
a goddamn videotape.
MAN: Where is it?
I don't know.
I don't know,
but right now,
that tape is my life.
When he came back
into the country,
Malina went to the chef.
Katie Connor?
Do you still
have people on her?
Of course.
All right, all right.
Good, good. All right.
Just... Do anything
you have to do,
but get me that tape.
Hey, it's me.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
Just, please, baby,
just call me back, okay?
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Jesus Christ.
Katie!
Can I come in?
Of course.
I just saw Ellen go.
She seemed upset.
Is everything okay?
[STUTTERING]
Yeah, yeah,
everything's fine.
Good.
You're back in town.
You didn't...
You didn't call.
What are you
doing here?
What is this?
Gregory left it
with me.
Give it to Ellen.
She needs to see this.
Okay.
I gotta go.
Wait a minute.
That's it?
You're leaving?
I haven't seen you
in months.
I don't want to
be here when
she gets back.
I'll call you
tomorrow.
Hey.
Tom!
You okay?
Yeah, I...
I just came by
to grab some stuff.
I thought it'd be better
when no one was around.
You heard about Fiske?
Yeah. It's awful.
Doing it
in front of Patty.
How is she doing?
She's pretty shaken up.
Have you seen her
since she let you go?
I don't think
Patty wants to see me.
Yeah, what you said
was pretty...
Stupid?
I was gonna say "ballsy,"
but yeah, "stupid" works.
So, you know,
we should get
some coffee sometime.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Okay.
Take care.
You, too.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Who is it?
Mallory Fiske.
Shit.
Ray was medicated,
you know.
For the last
several years.
He could just get
so depressed
sometimes.
Hey, do you want a drink?
No. No, thank you.
He probably didn't
want you feeling obligated
to solve his problems.
You know Ray.
He'd bend over backwards
to help someone
he cared about,
but God forbid any of us
should worry about him.
God forbid, right?
How was
the case going?
Well. [CLEARS THROAT]
Exceptionally well.
Arthur, the night Ray...
He told me
to pack my bags.
Said he wanted to
leave the country.
He said that? Why?
Oh, well,
I don't know.
But Arthur,
if this had anything
to do with the case...
No, no, no, no.
I would've known that.
Maybe if
I'd understood him,
I could've...
Why did he do it?
[SOBBING] Oh, Arthur,
you knew him
better than anyone.
Mallory, you were
married to him.
If you don't know
why he did this,
no one does.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hey, I'm...
Oh, sure.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry
to take your time.
No, no, no.
No, it's me.
Can you just hold on
one second?
Listen. Wait, wait.
Hold on. Hold on.
Mallory, look, don't
beat yourself up.
You can't blame yourself,
you know what I mean?
Good night.
Yeah. Yeah, no, good.
Send them up.
[WOMEN MOANING]
[CHUCKLING]
ARTHUR: Oh, Jesus.
Good evening, Miss Parsons.
Good evening.
Go right up.
Thank you.
Yes.
He called off
the engagement?
I'm so sorry, Ellen.
Maybe we went
too far.
Do you regret
what we did?
Because I do.
You do?
We crossed a line.
How could we know
that Ray...
Is the folder
in a safe place?
It's locked up.
In my apartment.
We'll deal with it
on Monday morning.
While I'm gone,
you're welcome
to stay here.
The guest room's
all made up.
Thank you.
You and David
can work this out.
I wouldn't be surprised
if you were
together again
by the time I get back.
Shortly after, Mr. Fiske
sent me to Florida
to help set up a meeting.
I didn't know what
this meeting was about,
but I know that
Arthur Frobisher was
in contact with a member
of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The name of that member is
George Moore.
If anything happens to me,
George Moore
and Arthur Frobisher
are responsible.
So, there's bourbon
in the kitchen.
And remember
to walk Cory.
Where can I reach you?
I'll be at the beach house.
Tom has the number.
DOORMAN: Storm cleared
Montauk last night.
Should be a perfect weekend.
Thank you, Perry.
Ellen, everything's
gonna be all right.
[VIBRATING]
Ellen. Ellen, it's me.
Look, there's something
here that you
really gotta see.
Katie brought you
a videotape that
Gregory Malina made.
It's about the case.
Gregory confessed
everything about
what happened in Florida.
Look, I got
the early shift,
but I'm gonna
leave it in
our hiding place, okay?
Shit!
Hey.
You scared me.
Sorry.
Where's my mom?
She went to
the beach house.
She said
I could stay here.
Cool. I'm just
grabbing some stuff.
Don't tell my mom
you saw me.
Sure.
If anyone asks,
I wasn't here.
WOMAN:
I'm sorry, David.
Ellen.
Jesus!
Ellen's gone.
What are you
doing here?
I'll run you a...
Get out of here!
David!
Enough of this shit!
Please don't do this!
Just get out!
You don't know
what we have!
I'm calling
the police.
You really
should lock your door.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Tom?
Jesus!
Patty, where the hell
have you been?
Visiting family.
Well, you need to
get back here.
Ellen thinks you
tried to kill her.
Patty.
Patty?
I'm coming home.
GUARD: Parsons.
School's out early.
What's going on?
Your bail was posted.
By who?
You know
a Patricia Hewes?
All right, sweetheart,
all you've got
is a set of keys,
and your attorney
sent you a change
of clothes in the bag.
[BUZZER SOUNDING]
Oh, maybe I should
go in and
get your things.
No. Thanks.
Think I just
want to be alone
for a while.
You really should
lock your door.
[DAVID GAGGING]
Where is it?
Where is the videotape?
Check the bedroom.
What do you got?
[GRUNTING]
MESSER: Bring him in here.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Where is
the goddamn
videotape?
I don't know.
All right.
[GRUNTING]
Think I got something.
Jesus Christ.
What about the tape?
It wasn't there.
What?
So, we went to
Patty Hewes' apartment.
And?
Things got
a little fouled-up.
What's that supposed
to mean, "Things got
a little bit fouled-up"?
Let's just say
we didn't
find the tape.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Where the hell
have you been?
Ellen.
No matter
what you think,
I didn't have anything
to do with any of this.
I know.
But Tom told me
that you accused me
of trying to kill you.
How else was I supposed
to get you back here?
So, this videotape
implicates Frobisher?
Yes.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[PHONE BEEPING]
AUTOMATED VOICE:
You have one new message.
DAVID: Ellen, it's me.
Katie brought you a videotape
that Gregory Malina made.
I'm gonna leave it
in our hiding place, okay?
That's why Frobisher
had someone
try to find it.
But Frobisher's people
didn't find the tape
in my apartment.
PATTY: So they
went to mine.
ELLEN: But they didn't know that I would be there.
PATTY: That's when
they tried to kill you.
[SCREAMING]
[ELLEN GASPING]
If they never
found the tape,
where is it?
I have it. It's safe.
Good.
Then we...
There's no "we" anymore.
I've had some time
to think over
the past few days.
The only reason
you hired me
was to get to Katie.
Ellen...
Don't bother.
I had that figured out
pretty early, actually,
but then you had Tom
convince me otherwise,
and I was stupid enough
to believe him.
At the time,
I didn't realize he was
a scared, weak liar
who'd do anything
to please you.
I would never...
Bullshit!
And then you tried
to break up
me and David,
you trashed
Katie as a witness,
and you fired me
for no good reason.
But you did teach me
one valuable lesson.
I'm glad.
Trust no one.
Well, I don't
anymore, Patty.
Least of all, you.
I see.
I'll give you the tape,
but you're gonna do
something for me first.
What?
Be my lawyer.
I've been accused
of murder, and you're
gonna exonerate me.
I need your power
and your connections.
Clear me of this,
and then help me find
who killed David.
If you do that,
then I'll give you
the tape.
Ellen Parsons
is out on bail.
You know
where to find her.

going upstate tonight
with Henry's family.
I'm happy to bail, Mom.
Henry and I can go up
any time we want.
No. No, I don't
want you two
changing your plans.
Patty, you shouldn't
be alone.
I prefer to be alone.
Really.
You sure?
You know
I'd tell you otherwise.
I want to go
to the beach house.
I want to get away.
[SIGHS]
[SHIVERING]
I knew Ray Fiske
well over 20 years.
He's a great lawyer,
and a friend.
We're all devastated,
Your Honor.
You have
my sympathies.
Something like this
happens...
Gives us all pause.
Needless to say,
we've been forced
to regroup.
New attorneys
are just beginning
to familiarize
themselves with
Mr. Frobisher's case.
I appreciate that.
Trial was set
for the end
of next month.
And I see
you're requesting
a six-month extension.
Mr. Shayes?
Well, first of all,
let me express
my condolences
to the entire firm.
We respect
the difficult position
Mr. Phillips finds himself in.
We understand
the challenge
of getting
new team members
up to speed, but...
Our responsibilities
lie with Mr. Frobisher's
5,000 employees
who can't pay
their bills.
For them,
justice delayed
is truly...
I'd have to agree,
Mr. Phillips.
You have
a proposed order?
A one-month continuance.
TOOMEY: Mr. Phillips,
the court empathizes
with your position.
Thank you,
Your Honor.
But after one month,
we press on.
Ray left something
for you.
It's on the desk.
Take your
time, Arthur.
Thank you.
Hey.
Ray Fiske killed
himself last night.
It's all over
the news.
I heard.
David, what is it?
Your sister called
to see
how you were doing.
She said she hasn't
spoken to you
in three weeks.
David, I...
Where were you
last night?
You told me
that you were fired.
I was, but Patty needed me
to meet with George Moore.
You didn't think
that you should
tell me?
I didn't want you
involved.
These people are dangerous.
I thought the less
that you knew, the better.
Oh, so this information
that you got
from George Moore...
Shows that
Ray Fiske is part of
the whole conspiracy.
So Patty used it
as leverage
against Fiske.
Is that why
he killed himself?
I don't know.
Patty was
blackmailing him.
Fiske was guilty
of corruption!
Enough, Ellen!
David, listen.
These men killed
Gregory Malina.
They probably
killed George Moore.
They do whatever
the hell they want,
and they'll keep doing it
until somebody
stops them.
Frobisher has to
take responsibility.
Winning this case
is the only way that
that is gonna happen.
And then what?
What do you mean?
Are you gonna
go back to Patty?
This is the kind of work
that I want to do, David.
Patty may be
a horrible person, but...
These guys are ruthless.
I don't know what
you are doing anymore.
I know exactly
what I'm doing.
Oh, really?
A man's dead now.
Was that the plan?
You, of all people,
should understand
after what they did to Katie.
I don't care about them.
I care about us.
This is what it takes.
I don't want this life.
Someone has to hold
these guys accountable.
You decide right now.
Do you want us
or do you want this job?
Please don't do this.
Right now.
Right now!
You can't decide,
can you?
David...
No.
We're done, Ellen.
[DOOR OPENING]
[DOOR CLOSING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Stop. Stop. Just stop.
Listen to me.
Damn it, will you just...
No! Lila!
You need to
stop calling me!
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
I'm sorry
to disturb you.
What do you want?
Oh? One of your
neighbors called
and said
they heard a bit of
a commotion earlier.
Just wanted to make sure
you two were all right.
Yeah, we're fine.
Is your fiance here?
She went out.
Everything's okay?
We're great.
Have a nice night.
Hey, you, too.
Malina made
a goddamn videotape.
MAN: Where is it?
I don't know.
I don't know,
but right now,
that tape is my life.
When he came back
into the country,
Malina went to the chef.
Katie Connor?
Do you still
have people on her?
Of course.
All right, all right.
Good, good. All right.
Just... Do anything
you have to do,
but get me that tape.
Hey, it's me.
I'm... I'm so sorry.
Just, please, baby,
just call me back, okay?
[KNOCKING AT DOOR]
Jesus Christ.
Katie!
Can I come in?
Of course.
I just saw Ellen go.
She seemed upset.
Is everything okay?
[STUTTERING]
Yeah, yeah,
everything's fine.
Good.
You're back in town.
You didn't...
You didn't call.
What are you
doing here?
What is this?
Gregory left it
with me.
Give it to Ellen.
She needs to see this.
Okay.
I gotta go.
Wait a minute.
That's it?
You're leaving?
I haven't seen you
in months.
I don't want to
be here when
she gets back.
I'll call you
tomorrow.
Hey.
Tom!
You okay?
Yeah, I...
I just came by
to grab some stuff.
I thought it'd be better
when no one was around.
You heard about Fiske?
Yeah. It's awful.
Doing it
in front of Patty.
How is she doing?
She's pretty shaken up.
Have you seen her
since she let you go?
I don't think
Patty wants to see me.
Yeah, what you said
was pretty...
Stupid?
I was gonna say "ballsy,"
but yeah, "stupid" works.
So, you know,
we should get
some coffee sometime.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Okay.
Take care.
You, too.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Who is it?
Mallory Fiske.
Shit.
Ray was medicated,
you know.
For the last
several years.
He could just get
so depressed
sometimes.
Hey, do you want a drink?
No. No, thank you.
He probably didn't
want you feeling obligated
to solve his problems.
You know Ray.
He'd bend over backwards
to help someone
he cared about,
but God forbid any of us
should worry about him.
God forbid, right?
How was
the case going?
Well. [CLEARS THROAT]
Exceptionally well.
Arthur, the night Ray...
He told me
to pack my bags.
Said he wanted to
leave the country.
He said that? Why?
Oh, well,
I don't know.
But Arthur,
if this had anything
to do with the case...
No, no, no, no.
I would've known that.
Maybe if
I'd understood him,
I could've...
Why did he do it?
[SOBBING] Oh, Arthur,
you knew him
better than anyone.
Mallory, you were
married to him.
If you don't know
why he did this,
no one does.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hey, I'm...
Oh, sure.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry
to take your time.
No, no, no.
No, it's me.
Can you just hold on
one second?
Listen. Wait, wait.
Hold on. Hold on.
Mallory, look, don't
beat yourself up.
You can't blame yourself,
you know what I mean?
Good night.
Yeah. Yeah, no, good.
Send them up.
[WOMEN MOANING]
[CHUCKLING]
ARTHUR: Oh, Jesus.
Good evening, Miss Parsons.
Good evening.
Go right up.
Thank you.
Yes.
He called off
the engagement?
I'm so sorry, Ellen.
Maybe we went
too far.
Do you regret
what we did?
Because I do.
You do?
We crossed a line.
How could we know
that Ray...
Is the folder
in a safe place?
It's locked up.
In my apartment.
We'll deal with it
on Monday morning.
While I'm gone,
you're welcome
to stay here.
The guest room's
all made up.
Thank you.
You and David
can work this out.
I wouldn't be surprised
if you were
together again
by the time I get back.
Shortly after, Mr. Fiske
sent me to Florida
to help set up a meeting.
I didn't know what
this meeting was about,
but I know that
Arthur Frobisher was
in contact with a member
of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The name of that member is
George Moore.
If anything happens to me,
George Moore
and Arthur Frobisher
are responsible.
So, there's bourbon
in the kitchen.
And remember
to walk Cory.
Where can I reach you?
I'll be at the beach house.
Tom has the number.
DOORMAN: Storm cleared
Montauk last night.
Should be a perfect weekend.
Thank you, Perry.
Ellen, everything's
gonna be all right.
[VIBRATING]
Ellen. Ellen, it's me.
Look, there's something
here that you
really gotta see.
Katie brought you
a videotape that
Gregory Malina made.
It's about the case.
Gregory confessed
everything about
what happened in Florida.
Look, I got
the early shift,
but I'm gonna
leave it in
our hiding place, okay?
Shit!
Hey.
You scared me.
Sorry.
Where's my mom?
She went to
the beach house.
She said
I could stay here.
Cool. I'm just
grabbing some stuff.
Don't tell my mom
you saw me.
Sure.
If anyone asks,
I wasn't here.
WOMAN:
I'm sorry, David.
Ellen.
Jesus!
Ellen's gone.
What are you
doing here?
I'll run you a...
Get out of here!
David!
Enough of this shit!
Please don't do this!
Just get out!
You don't know
what we have!
I'm calling
the police.
You really
should lock your door.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Tom?
Jesus!
Patty, where the hell
have you been?
Visiting family.
Well, you need to
get back here.
Ellen thinks you
tried to kill her.
Patty.
Patty?
I'm coming home.
GUARD: Parsons.
School's out early.
What's going on?
Your bail was posted.
By who?
You know
a Patricia Hewes?
All right, sweetheart,
all you've got
is a set of keys,
and your attorney
sent you a change
of clothes in the bag.
[BUZZER SOUNDING]
Oh, maybe I should
go in and
get your things.
No. Thanks.
Think I just
want to be alone
for a while.
You really should
lock your door.
[DAVID GAGGING]
Where is it?
Where is the videotape?
Check the bedroom.
What do you got?
[GRUNTING]
MESSER: Bring him in here.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Where is
the goddamn
videotape?
I don't know.
All right.
[GRUNTING]
Think I got something.
Jesus Christ.
What about the tape?
It wasn't there.
What?
So, we went to
Patty Hewes' apartment.
And?
Things got
a little fouled-up.
What's that supposed
to mean, "Things got
a little bit fouled-up"?
Let's just say
we didn't
find the tape.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Where the hell
have you been?
Ellen.
No matter
what you think,
I didn't have anything
to do with any of this.
I know.
But Tom told me
that you accused me
of trying to kill you.
How else was I supposed
to get you back here?
So, this videotape
implicates Frobisher?
Yes.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[PHONE BEEPING]
AUTOMATED VOICE:
You have one new message.
DAVID: Ellen, it's me.
Katie brought you a videotape
that Gregory Malina made.
I'm gonna leave it
in our hiding place, okay?
That's why Frobisher
had someone
try to find it.
But Frobisher's people
didn't find the tape
in my apartment.
PATTY: So they
went to mine.
ELLEN: But they didn't know that I would be there.
PATTY: That's when
they tried to kill you.
[SCREAMING]
[ELLEN GASPING]
If they never
found the tape,
where is it?
I have it. It's safe.
Good.
Then we...
There's no "we" anymore.
I've had some time
to think over
the past few days.
The only reason
you hired me
was to get to Katie.
Ellen...
Don't bother.
I had that figured out
pretty early, actually,
but then you had Tom
convince me otherwise,
and I was stupid enough
to believe him.
At the time,
I didn't realize he was
a scared, weak liar
who'd do anything
to please you.
I would never...
Bullshit!
And then you tried
to break up
me and David,
you trashed
Katie as a witness,
and you fired me
for no good reason.
But you did teach me
one valuable lesson.
I'm glad.
Trust no one.
Well, I don't
anymore, Patty.
Least of all, you.
I see.
I'll give you the tape,
but you're gonna do
something for me first.
What?
Be my lawyer.
I've been accused
of murder, and you're
gonna exonerate me.
I need your power
and your connections.
Clear me of this,
and then help me find
who killed David.
If you do that,
then I'll give you
the tape.
Ellen Parsons
is out on bail.
You know
where to find her.
