Damages (2007–2012): Season 1, Episode 5 - A Regular Earl Anthony - full transcript

Previously onDamages.

Ms. Connor,
is that your brother?

You really think
she killed my brother?

Arthur Frobisher, he wiped out our whole retirement account.

The law is on our side,

evidence is on our side,

but if Patty Hewes
gets that girl
in front of a jury,

all bets are off.

This new witness
was in Florida the same
weekend as Arthur Frobisher.

I met a guy
down in Florida.

Gregory turns out
to be our missing link.



Gregory Malina owned
Frobisher stock?

Keep an eye on her.

If she's gonna
give us something,

she's gonna have to
get it from him.

I know who he is.
The guy in the limo.

Yeah, this is
definitely him.

You claim that you saw
these men together.

Mr. Frobisher was
in a limousine.

Mr. Richards got
into that limousine.

Why are you lying?

I only tried to
help your case.

Katie, you perjured
yourself.

The threat's gone.
She lied under oath.

It's been five years.



Starting today,
I want you guys
to leave me alone.

Just let me
live my life.

What is it, Tom?

Following Katie Connor
around?

I'm a lawyer, Patty.
I miss it.

She treats you like dirt
for 10 years, won't share
the spotlight,

then she refuses to
make you a partner.

Martin, Tom Shayes.
Make me an offer.

Ellen, please.
Help me to help you.

I mean,
tell me what happened.

You can do that,
can't you?

Someone tried to kill me.

Who?

No!

I'm sick
of her shit.

That's right, Tomahawk.

Break the shackles.
Take the power.

Always identify
your oppressor by name.

Right.

So, whose shit
are you sick of?

Patty's.

Say it loud.

I'm sick
of Patty Hewes' shit.

And then she tells me
I gotta learn how to
fall on my sword.

Bullshit. You gave her
every drop of blood
and sweat.

Pro-and-con them for me.

There are more pros,
trust me.

Come on. Seriously,
make a list.
This is important.

All right. All right.
If I take the Cutler job,

I make more money,
become a name partner,

I get equity
stake in the firm,
better benefits.

What are the cons?

Uh...

Nothing, Tomahawk.

Look, listen,
I understand, okay?

You've been with her
10 years.

You wanna respect spoken
and unspoken commitments.

But you gotta forget
that shit, all right?

I can be objective here.
I'm on the outside
looking in,

and this bitch is
jerking you around.

I know. I know.

Right?
Plain and simple.

Plus she's high on
this new associate,
right?

You gotta make Patty
feel the stakes.

The only way they ever
let me run European
at Lehman

was by me
stepping away.

I thought he said that
he was grooming you

for SVP
right out of B-school.

He said all kinds of
stuff. Tom, listen.

With certain bosses,
the Pattys of the world,

the only way to earn
their respect

is to show them that
you don't need them,

that you got
something going on
for yourself

that's better than being
at their beck and call.

I was gone
one quarter

and Dietrich would've
swallowed broken glass
to get me back.

He had to fork over
a signing bonus of 13 mil.

Really?

That is what
I'm talking about.

Jesus.
Yeah.

So take the job at Cutler
and just devote yourself
to it entirely

and give it time,
all right?

And if Patty Hewes
doesn't come after you...

Yeah, well, she was
not gonna make me
a name partner anyway.

Exactly.
But at least you're
in the driver's seat.

And handling the wheel's
a beautiful thing.
Trust me, it's win-win.

You're steering
your own destiny.

Right. Definitely.
You're right.

So when are you
gonna break her heart
and break the news?

Tonight.

Power.

Good. That's it.

Now, fluidity of motion.
That's it.

Right through.
Fuse your mind
and body.

Right through
your powerhouse.

Oh, shut up!

Good.
Let it out.
Just let it out.

Accentuate the strength
of your body.

That's it.
Correct your weakness.

Squeeze.
Correct your imbalance.
And we're done.

You're
going to see Katie?

For how long?

Couple of days.

I'm gonna leave
after my shift.

The hospital's okay for you
to take time off work?

She's my sister.
They have to be.

Second shelf.

The flight's still got
some available seats
if you're interested.

You know
I can't leave
work right now.

Of course you can't.

David, don't do this.

What am I doing?

Katie lied
in her deposition.

Uh-huh.

I am working 20-hour days

trying to get Frobisher
to pay for what he did.

Baby, there are
5,000 employees
that need Patty to...

Enough, okay?
I have heard all
of this before.

I'll call you
when I land.

Wait.

For the plane.
We have to pick one.

What is it?

Wedding bands.

No, Cocoa,
don't eat that.

Cocoa. Don't eat that.

Oh, God.
Leave me alone.

Hey, it's Katie. I'm gonna
be out of town for a while.

Leave a message.

I just wanna impress
upon you that pulling
the settlement now

is a move
wherein tremendous risk

may outweigh
negligible reward.

Yeah, well, I didn't get
to where I am by playing
it safe, right, Ray?

And when you say
"where I am," Art,

I can only assume
you don't mean on trial
for corporate malfeasance.

Hey.

Look, all I'm saying is,

putting your life
into the hands
of 12 strangers

who most certainly
will not be your peers

is a dangerous proposition.

It's my job to protect you
from that at all costs.

You ever play
a team sport, Ray?

Fencing.

I specialized in epee.

No. No,
I mean a team sport,
like football.

God, I love that game.

I hate the way it's being
micro-managed right now,

but I love the sport.

The prevent defense,
have you ever heard
of that?

No.

Well, it's the strategy
that you're advocating
right now.

You roll it out
when you're not really
playing to win,

you're just playing
not to lose.

I'm afraid you
lost me there, Art.

Yeah, well,
I would rather play
straight man-to-man,

you know, blitz
the shit out of them
and take my chances.

Chances. Look,
just think of this
as a small deductible

on a $2 billion
insurance policy.

Well, that's easy
for you to say, isn't it?
'Cause it's not your money.

Or your reputation.

Look, Katie Connor's
gone now.

We get to trial,
I can clear
myself completely.

Now, you know that girl's
just one small piece
of the puzzle.

Now, I'm worried.

The sun don't shine
on the same dog's tail
all week.

I have no idea
what that means.

It means we got lucky.

This is my legacy.

I want my name back,
God damn it.

I want redemption.
Look, I understand.

No. You don't.

You can't, Ray.
You don't have kids.

I settle now,

I admit guilt
on the front page

of every newspaper
in the world.

And that never goes away.

They'll write that
on my tombstone.

Patty.

Hey, Tom.

Hey there, Tommy.

Ray Fiske called.

He pulled the settlement
off the table, which is...

Exactly what we wanted.
I need to talk to you.

Sit. Eat.

Phil's away.
He never allows me
to order this crap.

We have to finish everything.
We have to hide
all the evidence.

The dates checked out.

Gregory Malina dumped
his Frobisher stock

the exact day
Arthur Frobisher did.

Interesting.

How did a waiter
in the West Village

get the same
inside information
as a big CEO?

Look at you,
two peas in a pod.
It's a beautiful thing.

Fiske and Frobisher
have no idea
you're onto them,

all thanks to
little Ellen Parsons.

Yeah.

But the one problem is
if we subpoena Gregory
immediately...

Ellen will realize that
we've known all along.

So let's just wait
until she finds out
about Gregory on her own.

What if she doesn't?

Well, we'll deal with it.
I mean, she's not
our priority.

In the meantime, Tom,
I want you to keep digging...

No.

No?

Is there a problem?

Yeah, there is a problem.

Martin Cutler
extended himself.
He made an offer.

It's a good one.

Congratulations.

Look, I'm not here
to negotiate, Patty.

He offered to
make me a partner.

Named partner.

Plus a signing bonus.

I'd fight to
keep you, Tom...

And a base of 950 grand.

I don't think it'd be
in your best interest.

Cutler's offering
to make you
a named partner?

You have that
in writing?

Along with all
the other points.

Sounds like the deal
of a lifetime.

And Deb must be thrilled.

Absolutely.

You know, do me a favor.
When the checks
start rolling in,

don't just save up,
spend some on yourself.

I know how hard you work.
I mean, you deserve
to enjoy it.

Patty, I want you
to know...

Buy Deb that house
by the lake that
she wants.

Put in a real fire pit.

Don't forget to
invite me over.

Appreciate all
you've done for me.

I mean, Martin's got
a much bigger shop
over there, Tom,

incredible room
for movement.

Don't give it
another moment's thought.

I just wish I could
top his offer.

Would you like
a beer, Tommy?

No.

I... I can't stay.

Walking out of
your own Last Supper?

Hey.

You pulled
the settlement.

I thought we were
gonna work this out.

Larry. We've still got
a long road ahead of us.

But win or lose,
you'll be taken care of.

Don't worry about it.
I'm not just in
this for myself.

I work with those people.
They're friends.

And I tried to be fair
with them, didn't I?

I know.

I don't know what to say.
You know, I'm...

I'm innocent.

My wife's got diabetes,
Mr. Frobisher.

I got a mortgage,
medical bills.

I'm sorry.

Look, you have...
You've really
come through for me.

So even if this...
Even if this gets to a trial,
if we don't settle,

your cooperation
has been invaluable.

I want you
to know that.

This is what I want to do.
I want to double
our arrangement.

Okay?

Yeah.

But you may need to do
a few more things for me.

Like what?

She pleaded with us
for time to find a witness.

We gave her a shot
and she blew it.

The witness lied.
It's not her fault.

Regardless,
that 100 million? Gone.

We got nothing.

Patty Hewes is
useless to us.

So what are you saying?

Fire her.

Cut out the cancer.

Could we please
not smoke?

We're not smoking.
I'm smoking.

If you're smoking,
I'm smoking.

Anybody else got
a problem here?

Larry, don't do this, okay?

I'll join you for one
outside in 10 minutes.

Can't even find
my goddamn lighter.

We picked Ms. Hewes
for a reason.
She's the best.

She said there'd be
some setbacks.

We knew there were
gonna be some
ups and downs.

Where the hell
are the ups, Karen?

You're a gambler.
You don't change your
horse mid-race, do you?

If it's pulling up lame
I do. Then I shoot him.

Oh, Jesus.

Two right in the
head real quick.
Problem solved.

All right, look,
we need a consensus,

and for that,
we may need
to compromise.

You got any
bright ideas, kid?

Yeah, actually. I do.

What if
I gave you a plant?

Would Ms. Hewes have
a problem with that
in the office?

I mean, how can you
say no to a plant?

How's your pad thai?

It's delicious.

Now, does that name
refer to the noodles
or the sauce?

Well, I think
it's the whole dish.

So how's it all
been going?

What?

"'What?" she asks me.
The wedding planning.

Oh.

Great. We had
our first fight.

Did he leave angry?

You can't let
that happen, El.

You and David need to
take some time together.
You're both so busy.

Mom, there is no time.

This is your future husband.
You need to make time.

Talk to Ms. Hewes.
I'm sure
she'll understand.

Yeah. I'll talk to Patty.

So shall we
try on the dress?

Right.

I did the re-sizing.

Did I tell you
about the scandal?

What scandal?
At the church.

Try on the dress
and I'll tell you.

So you know about
the second service
they're adding on Sundays?

Dad told me.

Well, apparently,
the idea is to attract
younger members.

So instead of having
a traditional choir,

they're going to play
rock 'n' roll music.

The pastor asked your sister
to help put together a band.

Finally gonna be a rock star.
Can you believe that?

Ellen?

Ellie.

What's the matter?

You don't want
to wear my dress?

No, I'm really glad
you're here.

Oh! Me, too, baby.
Me, too.

We've come to you
as a united front
because we think it's time.

For what?

A month ago
you fired Tom.

Don't tell me a story.
Tell me what you want.

Appoint a new
second chair.

Since Tom's left,
there's been
a leadership vacuum.

Felicia and I have
discussed it at length.

And we'd like to know
if you're amenable to us
sharing the position.

I'm not.

My second chair is
indispensable to me.

That person is
my eyes and ears.

The job is
all-consuming.

I'll appoint one
when someone's
earned it.

But...
Yes?

I'm sorry, Ms. Hewes.

Karen.
What happened?
What's wrong?

I voted against it.

Voted against what?

Firing you.

The group hired
another attorney
to represent us.

Who?

We want you to know
this isn't a decision
we take lightly. But...

We lost confidence
in Patty Hewes.

All she's done
is make promises
she can't keep.

She never even consulted us
when she fired you.

And you know the case
better than anyone.

We called
because we trust you.

Well, thank you, thank you.
I... I appreciate that.

But you should know
at this point, um,

any change in
representation is a risk.

It could signal weakness
to the other side.

We're already weak.

Yeah, the
settlement's gone.

Our key witness
was a bust.

You want the job
or not?

Yes. I do, 100%.

And to be honest, I...
Well, it couldn't come
at a better time.

You with
a new firm now,
or what?

Yeah, I'm currently
weighing an offer,

but with this opportunity,
I need to re-evaluate.

I think it might be
best for you all
if I go out on my own.

I don't think your case
should be compromised

by anyone else's agenda.

What's the name
of this new guy?

Thomas Shayes.

This trial's gonna
be like a cakewalk.

This ain't his
first rodeo, Art.

He graduated Yale Law
and went straight
to Rehnquist's office.

Patty handpicked
and groomed him.

She wouldn't be
where she is today
without him.

Why you bringing me
down like this?
We're having a nice lunch.

Don't get me wrong.
We have
an opportunity here.

Whoever is
on the other side
in that courtroom,

it's the jury you
gotta worry about.

What opportunity?

Tom's gonna want
a quick score to
cement his reputation.

Now, I think we can
get him to bite on
a settlement figure.

Why the hell would
I want to do that?

I just pulled
100 million
off the table.

What if I could get
Tom to agree to 75?

Why would he do that?

'Cause Patty Hewes
couldn't win,

so there's no shame
in settling.

Shayes gets credit
for cleaning up
Patty's mess,

and you get off
dirt cheap.

Man, I've eaten too much.

Think about it, Art.

Thomas Shayes.

It's certainly
a welcome break in
the weather to see you.

How's the view
from the first chair?

I could get used to it.

Well, it suits you fine.

It's gonna be a challenge
to tackle this all by your
lonesome, don't you think?

Word on the street
says Martin Cutler's
made you a generous offer.

Well, right now
my priority is
with the clients.

I'm not sure if Cutler's
the right fit for them.

I see.

Can I have Kitty rustle up
a beverage for you?

Sparkling water
or if you prefer
something more potent?

Not during
billable hours, Ray.

A regular Atticus Finch.
Suit yourself.

Well, as I'm sure you know,
Mr. Frobisher's withdrawn
his generous offer.

So I gather.

And not to tell
tales out of school,

but my client's
a stubborn man,
mule stubborn.

Once he gets a notion,
it's got.

Hmm. Well,
I appreciate that.

I'm not
an unreasonable man, Tom.

I assume you wouldn't
be here unless you had
something to offer.

Maybe now that your
illustrious predecessor's
out of the picture,

reasonable minds
can prevail.

I don't see why not.

Well, good.

So throw me
out a number, Tom.

Let's see if I can get
that old mule to back up.

Well, I'm no
Patty Hewes, Ray.

Well, thank Jesus
for that.

But I did spend
10 years with her,

and there's no number
that I'll accept.

I want to go to trial.

I want to put
your multi-billion
dollar poster boy

for corporate corruption
in front of a jury
and watch you

try to explain to them
that he's not a crook.

Hey, Tomahawk.

She couldn't be
more than 23.

That's four years
older than the last one.

Hey.
Hey.

The witch is dead.

Ding-dong!
Welcome to your new life.

Deb, gorgeous as ever.

Oh, you're sweet.

This is Kiera.
Hey, what did you do?
Did you change something?

Haircut?
Lose some weight? Or...

Oh, I know what it is.
The size of these
things here.

You should feel these.
He's a regular
Earl Anthony over here.

That's okay.
Trust me.
All right, we're ready.

Thanks, baby.
I had her ice them up
for us. All right.

Grand Siecle!

Nice.
Plenty more
where that came from.

Thank you.
Here you go, baby.

An indentured
servant no more.

and a friend

Like the party don't end

Gonna do it right

to get it done

And what's the point in that?

Don't you know?

There you go

you can't stop running

You got it

and then you can't stop
running

to get it done

And what's the fun in that?

you get it done

Anyone ever tell you
you look like Tom Cruise?

No. No, they haven't.

What's the matter?

Nothing,
just a tough week.

Well, maybe that's
what I'm here for.

Tell me about it?

What are you drinking?

I keep thinking maybe
someday I'll just...

I'll wake up
and I'll realize
something's missing,

but right now, shit...

You know, I turn
to this one and I say,
"Baby, pinch my dick."

Is it possible for
life to be perfect?

No.

What's that?

Nothing.

So she didn't
fight for you, Tommy.
So what?

You know?
Yeah.

Cutler's still wet
in the panties for you,

and more importantly,
regardless,

you are your own man.

You can take this
Cutler offer and
parlay it into five more.

Shayes, the world
is your oyster, man.

I'm gonna... Um...

I'm gonna go
to the bathroom.

You good?

Yeah. Yeah.
I'm just...
I'm gonna go.

Thanks.

Oh!

Tom, Tom, Tom.

What the hell are
you doing to yourself?

I'm drunk.

Yeah, well,
I can see that.

Yeah. What are you
doing here?

You earned
the opportunity
of a lifetime,

and you act like
you're grieving.

Getting out from
under my shadow
was the best thing

that could ever
happen to you.

Well, you didn't
even fight to keep me.

You have more talent,
more raw potential,

than any attorney I
have ever worked with.

Well, you never
told me that before.

Letting you leave
was the only way to
get you to realize it.

You're your
own man, Tom.

It's time you stand
on your own two feet
and walk away.

You can be
better than me.

Tom!

Sweetie, sweetie.
You okay?

Hey, hey, hey, sweetie.
Talk to me.

I feel bad.

Yeah?

My apartment's
right up here.

How convenient.

Easy. Easy, fellas.
It's okay.

It's okay,
they just want some money.
Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Shit.

You guys are gonna
have to find somebody else.

Enough.

Enough!

Why are you so stupid?

What the hell
do you want?

I did everything
you told me to do.

We didn't tell you
to call Katie Connor.

I burned her
as a witness.

It's done.
Do you hear me?
I'm done!

You should be
so lucky.

Because if Katie Connor
decides to talk,

you'll be the center
of this whole case.

Patty Hewes will be
looking to depose you.

Now, we need to know,
can we count on
your cooperation?

How was your flight?

Fine.

Dad driving you crazy yet?

They're both
tip-toeing around me.

What have you
told them?

The short version.

Mom said not to worry
about losing the restaurant.

Dad told me the story
about not making varsity
the first time around.

I haven't heard
that one in a while.

How's my lawyer friend?

She wanted to come.

But she's stuck up
Patty's ass
and couldn't make it.

She's my fiancee.

You guys found
a new caterer for
the wedding yet?

Katie, how long
are you guys gonna be
mad at each other?

Is that why
you're here?
To referee?

She feels bad
about what happened.

Does she?
Of course.

How's the case
going, anyway?

As far as I can tell,
it's not good. All
hell's breaking loose.

But you know what?
Honestly,

I don't really care
about that right now.

Good, 'cause
they're not gonna
win that thing.

Why not?

Because of Frobisher.

Because he
controls everyone.

For all I know, you're
on his freaking payroll.

You have no idea
what I'm talking
about, do you?

No. Tell me.

The truth doesn't
even matter anymore.

Katie, you can't accuse
Mom and Dad of tip-toeing

and then shut me out
when I'm trying
to talk to you.

You'll have to
hear details about your
sister's sordid sex life.

I think
I can handle that.

So, congratulations.

You know that the clients
came to me, right?

I know. I know.
I didn't poach them.

But I still don't think
Patty would condone us
doing this.

Us talking?

Andrew told me that
you might be joining
Martin Cutler's firm.

Well, the truth is,
since the clients
have come to me,

I'm thinking about
going out on my own.

Which is why
I wanted to
talk to you.

You were getting
to know the case
really well.

I'm sure you heard
that Katie didn't
pan out as a witness.

Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry about that.

Turns out what you
said at the stables
was right, though.

Patty's kept me around
even though she lost
Katie as a witness.

I'm sure you're there
because you're doing
excellent work,

which is why
I'd love for you
to join me.

I need somebody
I can trust,

and you'd make
a valuable addition
to the team.

I'm flattered,
but you don't
need me, Tom.

You think maybe
you're just trying
to get back at Patty?

Take what's hers?

The Frobisher case is
an excellent opportunity.

Patty took
a chance on me.

I owe it to her
to stick around.

All right, I get it,
I understand.

You're still new,
you want Patty's approval.

Just don't let it
stay that way forever.

Hey. Here she is.
How was Visiting Day?

There are three other girls
who play the saxophone.

And the music teacher
said she used to play
with Bruce Springsteen.

Bruce Springsteen?

She loved it, huh?

Yeah, they all do.
Martin.

Place was voted
Best School Spirit

in New York Magazine
three years running.

Listen, thanks for your
help in getting her in.

Look, I didn't do this
from the kindness of
my heart, Tom.

I know.

So I hear you picked up
Patty's clients in
the Frobisher case.

I've been meaning
to talk to you, yeah.

Look, look,
I'm not gonna pretend

this doesn't give
you more leverage,

and I'm willing
to renegotiate.

But I hope to shit
you're not thinking about
going out on your own.

The thought's
crossed my mind, Martin.

Well, you can fight that
case for another two years
and get nothing, Tom.

Gotta go.

Tom, I'm putting
the clock on my offer.

You got till
the end of the day.

I want an answer
in the morning.

Hey!

Yes, I'm Alice.
You be everyone else.

All right. Okay.

"How do you like
the Queen?"

"Not at all. She's so
extremely likely to win

"that it's hardly
worth finishing the game."

"How impertinent!

"I'm going to chop
your head right off!

"I am. I'm chopping it.
That's it.
I've got a hatchet."

It's Patty. She's outside.
She wants to talk to you.

If I had to lose the clients,
I'm glad I lost them to you.

Patty.
I mean it, Tom.

So, you must have
a lot of options now.

It's an exciting time.

Deciding whether to go
with Cutler or strike out
on your own?

Yeah,
I'm weighing things.

Well, if you ever
want to talk strategy,

bounce around some ideas,
I'm all yours.

No strings attached.

That's very generous.

The case is all about
Gregory Malina now.

He's linked to
Frobisher somehow.

Find out who's
giving him orders.

I will, I will.

Why did you become
a lawyer, Tom?

I've told you before,
there are a lot of reasons.
Look, Patty...

I know exactly why I did.

...whatever you're
trying to do here...

Because of your father.

I don't give a shit
about changing the world,
but I hate bullies.

Look, I'm sorry
that you had to
go through that.

It made me who I am.

You're a great
Number Two, Tom.

You always were.

You always told me the truth.
It's gonna be difficult
without you.

Well, Andrew's capable.
And Felicia, give her
a couple of months.

There's a huge difference
between being Number One
and being Number Two.

Yes. There is.

You're a Number Two, Tom.

That's your talent.
That's your limit.

This is what
you came here
to tell me?

No. I came because I
care about the clients.

I only want
what's best for them.
Take them to Cutler.

Jesus.

You'll drown out there
on your own, Tom.

I don't want the clients
drowning with you.

You can't do it.
Patty...

You're not ready.

You're in the optimal
negotiating position,
all right?

You're in
the goddamn catbird seat.

You got options, champ,
you got Cutler,

you got Hewes,
you could go out
on your own.

Thank you, baby.
Here. This is for you.

Do not divvy it up
amongst the others.

Okay? Just keep it
in your pocket.

You just gotta
pull the trigger.

You know what I have
chiseled on a slab
in my office?

Audentes fortuna juvat.

"Fortune favors the bold."

That's right,
that's right.

And why are all these
clients falling into
your lap?

Because that is fortune,
baby, and right now
she is favoring you.

...for the kill now.

He's just pounding him,
left, right, left, right!

He's just knocking the...

Tom.

The world's made up
of all kinds of people.
And that is a good thing.

But if you're really
sitting on the fence
with this,

if you need advice,
maybe you're not the guy.

The guy for what?

I'm incredibly selfish.
I do things the way
I want, okay?

And I'm greedy,
and it's a blessing,
and it's also a curse.

There's no law
that says you
have to be me.

What are you saying?

I'm saying what
we both know, man.

You want to work
for Patty Hewes.

just enough to see the sky

we won't go slow
we'll put up such a fight

held high

and touch the sky

to keep the world from dying

Patty Hewes damn well
better make you
a named partner.

Next time I see you,
"Hewes and Shayes"
better be on that door.

It's early.

Yes, it is.

You have your
negotiating points?

There's no room
to negotiate here.

Yes.

Yes.

Partner.

I just spoke
to the clients.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

What'd you say?

I told them that
no one will fight
for them like you.

And if they left you,
it'd be the biggest
mistake of their lives.

And?

And they're willing
to come back.

Thank you, Tom.

Yes.

No. No name on the door.

It's still
"Hewes and Associates."

See you at00.

Hey.
Hey.

You're back.

Is that your mom
on the couch?

Yeah, wedding planning
went a little long.

How'd it go?

Good. She's pushing
for my cousin's band.

We need to
gang up on her.

I'd be glad to.

How was your trip?
How's Katie?

She's hanging in there.

Babe, I'm so sorry.

I was wrong.
I should've
come with you.

It's okay.

No, it isn't.

I've been taking
you for granted,

and the last thing
I want is for my job
to come between us.

I should be
apologizing to you.

What for?

I think this case is
even more complicated
than you think.

Katie told me
a few things.

Turns out Katie
lied in her deposition
because of this asshole.

Her one-night stand
in Florida?

He set Katie up
to perjure herself.

But Katie told me
she never saw him again
after that night in Florida.

She lied. She started
seeing him again
a few weeks ago.

His name's Gregory Malina.
I suggest we subpoena him.

We'll put it
together ASAP.

Good work, Ellen.

Tom. Glad to
have you back.

Someone tried
to kill her?

That's right.

And where is this body?

Patty Hewes' apartment.

Trust.

Trust. Trust.

I'm so sorry,
Ms. Hewes.

Trust. Trust.
Trust no one.
