Damages (2007–2012): Season 2, Episode 1 - I Lied, Too. - full transcript

Last season onDamages.

I'm Ellen Parsons.
I'm here to interview.

You're hired.

A young lawyer with a fantastic
new job and a dreamy doctor fiance.

Baby.

Arthur Frobisher told his
employees to invest in the company

and then sold his own stock.

It's classic pump and dump.

Let her depose me. We're
going to trial, Ray.

There are 5,000 people
who lost everything.

They deserve justice.



I mopped your floors 34
years. I cleaned your shit!

You watch what you say.

Your infidelity...
You are out of line!

I'm done here. No, I'm done.

Hey!

Now you don't owe me nothing.

You're blackmailing me, Patty.

No one can ever know
what he was doing here.

You're a lawyer. Lies
come with the territory.

Make up your mind, Ellen.

Do you want to play mind
games like these people,

or do you want to be yourself?

We crossed a line.

Do you regret what
we did? Because I do.



You do?

While I'm gone, you're
welcome to stay here.

It's done.

I'm Agent Harrison.
This is Agent Werner.

We're with the FBI.

What is this about?

It's about Patricia Hewes.

Mr. Nye tells us you might
have reasons of your own

for wanting to take
down Ms. Hewes.

She tried to kill me.

Come back, Ellen.

I'll come work for you
again on one condition.

Let me use the firm's resources to
prove that Frobisher had David killed.

It's a deal.

You want me to go
back and work for her?

Miss Parsons, you'll
be working for us.

See you on Monday.

Just for a thrill

You changed the sunshine to rain

What's the matter? You
shouldn't be scared.

Actually, I take that back.

You should be scared.
You should be terrified.

But to you I was merely a toy

It would just be so much
easier if you said the words.

I can never remember
the name of this song.

All I want you to do
is tell the truth.

But I know that can
be hard for you, so...

I brought something that
I thought might help.

And who knows? Maybe the
truth will set you free.

Just for a thrill

And now here's one of our good
friends, just off a big courtroom win.

Please welcome back Patty Hewes!

Yes!

Yes! Look who's
here. It's Patty.

Good to see you.

You look stunning. Thank you.

Good to see you. It
is great to be here.

Congratulations! Thank you.

Don't you look good, Patty.

Thank you. Oh, boy!

So be honest now.

How much did you rake in on
this latest case of yours?

Oh, Regis! What?

Really, what was it, two
billion dollar settlement?

People want to know how
rich she is, you know that.

Well, I'll tell you
if you'll tell me.

Gelman! Gelman,
what do I make?

What do I make, Gelman?
Union scale? Of course.

That's all. That's all I got.

Oh, please. So tell us
about this Arthur Frobisher.

Pretty wealthy guy, right?

Not anymore.

Our plaintiffs were
very well taken care of.

So what are you gonna
do with all that money?

Actually, I'm gonna use a
good portion of the money

to fund a foundation to fight
hunger in New York City.

That's wonderful.

It's very important to
give back to the community.

Yeah, I think so. And I'm
also partnering in the charity

with my good friend
Sam Arsenault.

Saving the world's great,

but you gotta be chomping at
the bit to take your next case.

Not at the moment. It's my
son's last year in high school

and this charity is keeping
my hands pretty full.

That's amazing. I mean, you know,
a high-profile attorney, of course,

but a committed mother
working full time.

I don't know how you
manage to balance it all.

Well, I mean, you
do the same thing.

It is difficult. But I have
a fantastic team at the firm.

Yeah, I believe I chatted with one of your
associates backstage in the green room.

Ellen Parsons. Yeah,
she's fantastic.

Isn't she standing in the wings?

You want to say hello, Ellen?

Ellen. There she is. Hi.

Hi.

Ellen's been with the...

She's been with the
firm not even a year.

And I can tell you I would be
absolutely lost without her.

So she deserves a lot of credit.

The woman's full of shit.

A month ago, she
tried to kill me

and now she's acting
like my best friend.

The Bureau's putting together
a case we want Patty to take.

We're gonna need you
to pitch it to her.

Okay. What is it?

A set-up.

We'll use you to monitor
it from the inside.

Great. When do we start?

Soon, Ellen. We're just
working out a few details.

How soon?

Hey, you gotta
relax. Okay? Lay low.

That's easy for you to say.

You just want to
arrest Patty Hewes.

And you don't?

I want to destroy her.

Little lamb

Smile

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left

Oh, God!

No. No.

Revenge fantasies are normal

when we're dealing with
post-traumatic stress.

See, the right side of the brain

tries to process our trauma,

to help us understand
what we've been through.

Ellen, how about you?

Have you had any more
revenge fantasies

about the man that you
think killed your fiance?

No!

Nothing comes to mind.

Ellen's in counseling
three or four times a week.

She's moving to the
Sullivan Grand Hotel.

You don't need to watch
her anymore, Pete.

Are you sure you can trust her?

Maybe it's best if I
keep an eye on her.

No. It's all in the past.

Okay.

Fine. Watch her.

I'm concerned about
her well-being.

Tommy.

So, you gonna make me say it?

How about today?

You ready to jump back in?

The firm is trying
plenty of cases...

But you aren't.

I hear what you're saying.

Good.

All right, I'll bring
you the top three cases

and you just... You
pick the one you like.

Excuse me.

We're hearing rumors that their findings
could come out as soon as next month.

The Kentucky operations have
been calling in non-stop.

They're getting
nervous about New York.

Tell them to relax.
We're prepared.

Assure them that there's
nothing to worry about.

Mr. Purcell. Mr. Purcell?

This isn't my work.

Mr. Purcell, calm down.

This is

horseshit.

I'm not gonna sign off on this.

We're in a meeting here.

Oh!

A very important meeting?

This ends today. You hear me?

Where are we with the IRS?

They expedited our
charitable tax-exempt status

based on Sam Arsenault's
verbal commitment.

So, as soon as he makes it
official, we're off to the races.

With any luck, we can
start doing some good.

That's the general idea.

What, Ellen?

Nothing.

I think the foundation's great.

It'll leave an imprint
for generations.

No, you think I'm just creating
this to clear my conscience.

Why would you need to
clear your conscience?

Because of what we did to
win the Frobisher case.

You mean Ray Fiske's suicide?

My conscience is
clear about that.

So, how you doing?

Counseling...

No. I'd rather
not talk about it.

Well, I just want you to know

you can have time off
if you ever need it.

Work's the best thing
for me right now.

Where are you on Frobisher?

Is there anything new
on David's murder?

Has my investigator
been helpful?

He found out Frobisher was in
critical condition after the shooting.

A construction crew found him and
had him airlifted to St. Anthony's.

He had abdominal surgery there.

Last week he was transferred.

Where?

Your guy doesn't know.

There's been a total
press blackout.

Frobisher doesn't want
anyone to find him.

Mr. Frobisher,
how you feeling?

Like shit.

Yeah, well,

four surgeries in a month
will do that to you.

How am I doing?

Doc says the kidney should take.

I'm parched.

Thank you for taking
care of me like this.

Just doing my job.

You don't know who I am, do you?

Of course, I do.
Why do you ask?

Because I'm the most
hated man in America.

And you're being nice to me.

I want you on the
board of directors.

Of course, you can say no,

but these things have
a way of coming back

to bite you on the ass.

We have a big problem.

Think about it, Senator.

You've got 24
hours. What is it?

Sam Arsenault's
people just called.

He's backing out.

They didn't want to tell me over
the phone, but I forced their hand.

He's withdrawing his entire
contribution from the foundation.

What can I get
you? Coffee, latte?

Too early for bourbon?

Never.

Girls today could learn
something from you, Patty.

You know how to wear a skirt,

but you're one of the
boys, always have been.

Except for the vagina.

I was just about
to have one myself.

Explain it to me, Sam.

The Republican Party is
gonna back me for governor.

But you're an independent.

Not anymore.

So I got party politics
to worry about.

The Elephants don't
like you, Patty.

I can't be pissing these
people off right now.

I need your pledge, Sam.
Why are you doing this?

Let me tell you a story.

Back in '83 I was negotiating
the Syntec merger.

Neither side would budge.
Clock was running down.

Okay.

So I toss all the
lawyers out of my office.

I tell Herb Weiss to stop over,

hash it out mano-a-mano.

The whole time Herb
was in there with me,

I've got this
sizzling slice of ass

from the temp services
under the desk,

taking dictation,
if you get my drift.

Yeah, it just wafted my way.

Hey, relax. I married her.

Jeanine?

No, it was the one before that.

Anyway, in the '80s, we
all did shit like that.

The point is, why did I do it?

Because I'm an asshole?

Because I want to feel powerful?

All of the above?

No, I don't give a
shit about power.

I'm just an old, free-love hippy who
made a good bet on soybean options.

I did it because

I wanted to see if I
could get away with it.

Sam, you're making
a big mistake.

We can leave a real mark
with this foundation.

Your daughter's
here, Mr. Arsenault.

Great! Send her in.

Sorry, Patty, but
we're grabbing lunch.

There's plenty of
time for charity.

We can save the
world another day.

Ms. Hewes. I'm
sorry to interrupt.

It's nice to see you, Lily.

I just ran into Michael at
this college admissions thing.

Lily's earned herself
a spot at Yale.

Well, that's quite
an accomplishment.

Yeah, I can't wait.

You want to join us
for a quick bite?

I'd love to. No, thanks.

I'm sorry, Patty.

But I always wanted to run
off and join the circus.

Well, be careful out there, Sam.

There are a lot of
clowns under the big top.

Good luck at Yale.

This was hand-delivered.

No return address.
Security x-rayed it.

It's clean.

You open it.

What is it?

Charts, graphs.
I have no idea.

Let me see.

Ms. Hewes, I have a Daniel
Purcell on the phone for you.

Danny Purcell?

When's the last time
you talked to him?

Ten years, at least.

All right. Put him through.

Daniel?

Did the package arrive?

Yes. What is it?

Just keep it.

Why did you send this to me?

You're the only one
I can trust. Please.

Keep it safe.

Daniel...

So you want me to get
Patty to take this case?

Yeah. It's all in here.
Researched and vetted.

Everything you need to present

a legitimate infant
mortality case.

Sounds right up Patty's alley.

Built-in social cause, a
persuasive lead plaintiff.

Billions in damages at
the end of the rainbow.

It's great bait, but how are you
gonna use this to arrest Patty?

One step at a time, Ellen.

First you get her to bite,

then we'll fill
you in on the rest.

Any questions?

Bad car tires made in China.

Deep pockets, it's a major
distributor out of Jersey.

And it's wide. Over 14 million
units and 260 traffic deaths so far.

Could be bigger
than Bridgestone.

In this climate?
Public hears "China,"

they scream bloody murder.

We think the complaint can
survive a Twombly motion.

All we have to...

I'm sorry, Patty,
what's going on?

Are we wasting our time?

No. No, no. Go
on. I'm listening.

Okay, aim a little higher.

Ellen brought this in,

and I think she
found a grand slam.

Infant mortality.

For the first time in
decades it's going up.

Why? HMOs.

Cesarean births
cost them a fortune.

Insurance companies
don't want to pay.

So at-risk low-income women are
being forced into natural childbirth

and their babies are dying.

There are billions of dollars
worth of damages here.

Interesting.

We could take on the
insurance industry.

We already have a lead
plaintiff lined up.

She'd make an ideal front
person for a class action.

Her name's Monique Bryant, she's
sympathetic, she has a story to tell.

It's all in the file.

All right, I'll look at it.

I truly, truly believe
that this is the one.

There are people in need here.

There are people we could help.

Let me know what you think.

You're not even gonna
read it, Patty? Come on.

I have a foundation to
launch and I have no funding.

We have our work cut out for us.

Do you have a meeting tonight?

I can cancel.

No, no, no. That's
more important.

What's that?

This? It's personal.

And the last time I
checked, we're in my office.

So I find the guy

just laying there.

Still drunk.

So I take a few steps back,

like I'm gonna
kick a field goal.

And I kick his head

right here, right
under his chin.

Well, his head snaps back.

The back of his head smacks
between his shoulder blades.

So I kick him
again. And again.

Over and over.

And I'm wondering,

how many kicks is it gonna
take before his head rips off?

But I never found out
because I woke up.

That's very powerful, Wes.

Ellen, how about you?

Have you had any
dreams this week?

I can't sleep.

Her fiance was murdered a month
ago. How is she supposed to sleep?

It's done.

Mom?

You fell asleep.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

What time is it?

Almost00.

Dad called. He has to stay
another week in Dubai.

You gonna go up to bed?

Yeah.

Everything all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, Michael.

Dad.

Dad, I think someone's here.

Hey, baby?

I think someone's here.

Where?

Downstairs. I heard
him in the living room.

What's going on?

Daniel? Call the police.

Daniel... Do it!

You stay the hell
away from my family.

I'll kill you, you
son of a bitch!

Daniel! He was in your office.

What were they looking for?

Hear about Lily?

My God, Sam. I am so sorry.

The cops don't have
anything else to do?

They only went after her
because she's my daughter.

You're right.

The one time she tries cocaine,

she gets arrested and splashed
all over the front pages.

You gotta help me,
Patty. She's just a kid.

This kind of thing
could sink her for life.

What can I do?

Call the DA. Get him
to drop the charges.

Why don't you call him?

Oh, he hates me.

I refused to testify in
that insider trading thing.

Look, I know that he's
your friend, Patty.

He'll listen to you.

Look, we both know that you've
got me by the short and curlies.

But it's impossible for me

to join your
foundation right now,

so if that's what
it's gonna take...

God, no, Sam. I would never
hold you hostage like that.

Our kids have known each
other since kindergarten.

I'll make the call,
see what I can do.

Thank you, Patty. Thank you.

No need to thank me,
Sam. This is family.

Sorry to interrupt. Frobisher's
at the Riveredge Clinic.

What room?

No. That won't help.

He's under tight security.
Only his family's allowed in.

Listen, Ellen,

if I were you, I'd want to
look him in the eye myself.

Give it time. You'll get
your shot to prosecute him.

Thanks, Pete.

So, they ever arrest
the guy who shot you?

No, no. I left the
police out of it.

It's complicated.
I knew the guy.

Anyway, I tell you,

that bullet was like a
wake-up call for me, Rudy.

It was a correction.

Silver lining, huh?

Lemons into lemonade.

No, I'm serious, man.

Most people out there
thought I was a real asshole.

Yeah?

Even my wife wouldn't have
anything to do with me.

She filed for divorce,

took our daughter,

sent my kid out west some place.

Night nurse said she called.

When?

This morning.

Said she wants to visit.

Fantastic.

Yeah, I got a chance to
put things right with her.

You know, maybe
we can start over.

What?

I don't want her to
see me like this.

I'm a goddamn cripple.

For Christ's sake, I'm
pissing myself, Rudy.

I can't even eat
solid food, for...

Relax. Hey, come on.

You gotta calm down, man.

Calm down.

I'm sorry. I'm pathetic.

Hey, maybe... I tell you what.

Let's not shave.
Let's not shave.

And you know those tubes, I
know I don't need them anymore,

but maybe when she comes

we could stick a
couple up my nose.

Yeah, let's not shave.

The alarm people called.

They're gonna activate
the new system tomorrow.

That's good.

You have to make a
decision, Daniel.

I know.

If that company is making people
sick, you have to stop them.

You think that I'm not grieving?

My concern is that
clinging to David's killer

is your way of
clinging to David.

The type of violence
you experienced

could make a person
retreat and collapse

or be consumed with rage.

Neither one is healthy.

Let me ask you something.

What do you think would
make you feel better?

Seeing David again.
And you know what...

Ellen.

That's not gonna happen.

Ellen.

Ellen, let's talk about this.

Thank you, Perry.

Low 70s. Lovely
night for a walk.

Patty?

I need to talk to you.

I've come because I
need your help, Pat.

I'm in trouble.

Really? What kind of trouble?

I have information.

And I'm being threatened.

I've come because
you know people

who can protect
me. Discreetly.

Daniel...

My family isn't safe.

Patty, my wife, my kid...

The other night they broke in.

Call the police.

I did. They filed a report.

I feel much safer now.

How is any of this my problem?

Jesus, Patty, you think
I want to be here?

You think I enjoy
begging you for help?

If I go public with what I know,

it could bring down an industry.

Patty...

I don't want anything
to do with you, Daniel.

You've made that
perfectly clear.

I respected your wishes, but
now, God damn it, I need you.

Too bad.

Don't you turn your back on me!

You owe me.

I owe you nothing.

I'll have another whiskey.

A couple more, you'll have to
change one group for another.

That's funny.

Can you please leave
me alone? I'm...

I'm done with therapy.

You made that clear.

So you followed me?

It was only 15 blocks.

Yeah, well, I'm not interested.

In what?

In you

and whatever bullshit
line you're gonna feed me.

The only bullshit I
was gonna feed you is,

you left that on your chair.

Thanks. Thank you.

Well, it was only 15 blocks.

My girlfriend hated whiskey.

It's ironic because the
guy that ran her over

was shitfaced on the stuff.

You have a good night.

Hey, the guy who killed
your girlfriend...

Yeah?

Do you know where he is?

Attica.

But with good behavior
he'll be out March 16, 2011.

You know the date?

It's a Wednesday.

I know how you're feeling.

It took me five months
before I could sleep again.

What changed?

I realized something.

People like you and me,
we only have two options,

you've got forgiveness, revenge.

Which did you choose?

Neither yet.

Take it easy, Parsons.

I'm over here, Patty.

Oh!

Quit wallowing. Stop worrying about
all that. What's done is done.

Come on, Patty. A charity?

Hungry children
ain't gonna cut it.

You want to make amends,

start by telling the truth

and confess to Ellen
what you did to her.

Patty?

Yeah?

Is everything okay?

Just fine.

Actually,

we need to talk.

Sure. Fire away.

Not in the office.

It's...

It's personal.

Okay.

If you're not busy
Friday after the gala,

there's a little place
near the Waldorf,

I'd like to have a drink.

Look forward to it.

Can you give me the headlines?

It's about you and
the Frobisher case.

I didn't explain
everything that happened.

Okay.

I want to wear a wire.

This is a big step.

You do this, you become
a cooperating witness.

We can't keep your
name confidential.

You'll have to appear in
court, testify against her.

I'm fine with that.

Ellen, there is no
reason to jump the gun.

She wants to talk to me
about the Frobisher case.

You don't want to hear it?

What exactly did she say?

She said she didn't explain
everything that happened.

I told you, she
tried to kill me.

Her guilt is eating at her.

How do you know that?

I can see it. She's
not in a good place.

When is the meeting?

Friday after the gala.

Where?

A restaurant in midtown.

All right.

It's what we signed you up for.

It's time, Mr. Purcell.

You ready to be reasonable?

Did you find
anything interesting?

Yeah, very.

At least the parts
I could understand.

Purcell was doing some
sort of chemical analysis.

Get this to our guy at Columbia.

Will do.

Yeah? Thanks. Send him up.

It's Sam Arsenault.

So, where are you on
the Charity Foundation?

Nowhere.

Without Arsenault's money,
there is no foundation.

Your visit's gonna do
him a world of good.

His painkillers
are pretty strong,

but he's gonna do just fine.

He'll be happy to see you when
he wakes up, Mrs. Frobisher.

Baby.

David!

People like you and me,
we only have two options,

forgiveness, revenge.

It's time for his lunch. Mrs. Frobisher,
you can sit with him if you...

Mrs. Frobisher?

Mr. Frobisher?

Is she here yet?

So despite your best efforts,

the DA wouldn't
drop the charges.

Can you believe it?

If Lily's name wasn't Arsenault,

this never would've happened.

You're goddamn right.
She was set up.

What happened to your campaign?

It's dead in the water.

Republican Chairman
sees Lily on the news,

dumps me, decides to
back another horse.

Oh, Sam.

Look, Patty.

It's hard for me to
ask, but I want back in.

To my foundation?

I know. It's embarrassing.

I'm standing here with my
pants down around my ankles,

but I've always been a big fan
of the cause, you know that.

And after Lily I
could sure use the PR.

We'd be happy to
take your money, Sam,

but I've promised away
the naming rights.

It can't be the
Arsenault/Hewes Foundation?

Mmm-mmm.

Patty, I want my name up there.

I wish I could help you.

Come on.

There's gotta be
something I could do.

I will be eternally
grateful to Patty Hewes.

No, no. Sam is the
real hero here.

At the last moment, he generously
decided to double our endowment.

Well, I'm thrilled that I can make a
difference with just the stroke of a pen.

Hey, Mom. Look at that guy.

He's out here celebrating, and his
daughter's being sent to juvie.

Such a shame about Lily.

I told you she was a cokehead.

Yeah. Yeah. You did.

God help you if I ever find out
you're doing anything like that.

I tried it, Mom.
Coke's not my thing.

Patty, congratulations.

Thank you.

It was an incredible
evening. That was amazing.

So, now that you've launched
this, maybe we can...

Take a case?

Just a thought.

I like Ellen's infant
mortality case.

That is just the kind of cause
that we should be advancing.

Well, then, let's do it.

Set up a meeting with
the plaintiff tomorrow.

Fantastic.

Nice find, Ellen.
It's a great case.

I'm glad you think so.

Patty.

Daniel, I had no idea
you were here tonight.

An important cause like this,
we didn't want to miss it.

I don't believe you
know my wife, Christine.

Christine! Come say hi.

Will you excuse me? I
really should go say hi.

Two minutes, and we'll go, okay?

It's really nice to meet you.
I admire your work so much.

Thank you for your support.

She's lovely.

Listen, Patty. I'm sorry
about the other night.

I don't want to
drag you into this.

I can handle it myself.

Glad to hear it.

I should really get those
materials back from you.

I'll have them messengered
over to your office tomorrow.

Better to send them to my home.

Daniel, come say hello!

I promise you, you'll
never have to see me again.

Hey. Jesus!

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.

What, you're stalking me now?

No, you just didn't
come back to group.

Yeah, that's kind of what
I had in mind when I quit.

What do you want from me?

I don't want anything.
Nothing. I don't...

I was just concerned,
and... Look,

I thought this might help you.

What's that?

It's a phone number. Don't
worry, it's not mine.

Call after midnight.
Just ask for Frank.

But if a woman answers,
you should hang up.

I don't do drugs.

That's good 'cause he doesn't
sell any. And they're bad for you.

Then what am I calling him for?

Because Frank's not the kind of
guy who gets hung up on permits.

A permit? For what?

A gun. A gun?

You know what...

What the hell would make
you think that I want a gun?

Because I think you're scared.

Because I think you
feel helpless and alone.

Now, if you tell me I'm
wrong, then I'm wrong.

And I apologize. My mistake.

I've been thinking about
this whole revenge thing.

Yeah?

It's not me. It's
not who I am.

A gun's not gonna help.

So, I guess I'm just gonna
have to find a way to forgive.

It functions like
a normal telephone,

but there's a
microphone right here.

To activate it, you
just turn it on.

I think I can handle that.

It records in or
out of the case.

Out is better if
you can manage it.

You don't want to talk too much.

That's the biggest
mistake people make.

When they get
nervous, they talk.

If Patty's gonna
give us anything,

we don't want you
speaking over her.

So, you can prompt
her with questions,

but then you gotta back
off and you let her talk.

Got it.

You ready?

I'm fine. You guys are
more nervous than I am.

Okay.

This is Agent Randall Harrison.

The date is June 14.
The time is27 p.m.

Ellen Parsons, do you give
your voluntary consent

to have this recording
device placed on your person?

Yes.

Sorry about that. Fox News.

Oh, you've... You've
got another bottle?

What is it?

Chateau Lafite...
Something French.

I just picked the most
expensive one on the list.

So, you wanted to
tell me something?

Ellen, I didn't

explain everything to you
during the Frobisher case.

That's all in the past.

No, no, it's important
that you know this.

Patty, I think we
both need to move on.

The Frobisher case was chaos
and we weren't thinking clearly.

Still, I...

I want to apologize.

Apologize?

Apologize for what?

The weekend...

after Fiske committed suicide...

His death had a
profound effect on me.

It, um,

pushed me to a place that
I'd never been to before.

I didn't know that.

I...

I became too emotional.

I was afraid of being exposed,

of losing the case.

I'd lost control. I
had to leave the city.

While I'm gone, you're
welcome to stay here.

Ellen,

everything's gonna be all right.

You said you went
to visit family.

Well, that wasn't exactly true.

No?

Years ago I had a child.

I've never told anyone.

The baby was unhealthy.

The doctors said it was, um,

stillborn.

It was a little girl.

I named her Julia.

Sometimes I think if she'd lived

I'd be another person.

So when you went away you...

I went to visit her.

I hadn't been to that
cemetery in 30 years.

And while I was there,

someone attacked
you in my apartment.

Whoever broke in,
was looking for me.

It's done.

I wish to God it had been me.

I want you to know

that if my daughter
had survived,

if Julia had lived,

I'd want her to
be just like you.

How'd it go?

Hello. This is she.

I was wrong. I
didn't get anything.

Just more lies.

What did she say?

She told me someone was
coming to kill her that night.

And some bullshit about me being
the daughter she never had.

Well, you're building a
relationship, establishing intimacy.

These things take time.

I don't have time.

Ms. Hewes? Yes.

This way, please. Thank you.

Patty?

Now will you help me?

The important thing is, she
took the infant mortality case.

Where are we on that?

Patty's meeting the
lead plaintiff tomorrow.

Good.

We'll get her, Ellen.

How long do these
things usually take?

Could be two, three years,
before we have enough.

You gotta be patient.

Can you do that?

Although you're free
and havin' your fun

So it's just the two of us.

Face to face.

'Cause you made my
heart stand still

Well, it was just for a thrill

It seems like you're not gonna
tell me the truth after all.

Well, that's okay.

I lied, too.

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left
