Damages (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 3 - Flight's at 11:08 - full transcript

Patty Hewes races to prevent a key witness in the Tobin case from fleeing the country. Ellen learns a dark family secret.

Previously onDamages.

We've got money,
Joe. How much money?

Enough for generations.

Your father's going to go to
jail. You're my priority now.

We never invested
with Louis Tobin.

We gave our money to Leverett,
and Leverett gave it to Tobin.

We've lost everything.

I especially want to
thank my sister, Ellen.

Even though I've got
three years on her,

Ellie's always
been my big sister.

Carrie.



Do you know Danielle
Marchetti? No.

Your father purchased $14,000 worth
of clothes for Miss Marchetti.

Were you sleeping with her?

Patty will never find
her. Where is she?

Hello, Danielle. Get out.

Did he throw money at
you right... Get out!

Danielle Marchetti applied
for an expedited passport.

So, Joe must have tipped off
his father that we're onto her.

If we don't find Marchetti, she's
going to be able to travel tonight.

Danielle? Danielle? Danielle?

No, no, no, no.
Danielle! Danielle?

Are you Marchetti?

What? What?

I'm picking up a
Danielle Marchetti.



Uh... Daniel, actually.
Yeah, that's... That's me.

You're heading to
Farmingdale Airport?

Farmingdale? Right.

I know I'm a little early.

I just figured since your
flight's international...

Uh-huh. Oh, yes. I'm sorry.

You got luggage inside?

I do. Just... I'm sorry.

I think someone screwed up.

This is embarrassing.

I was gonna drive myself.
My assistant didn't call?

Give you a call?

No one called.

I'm sorry. Sometimes
she's... She gets...

It's a real trek out here,
you know? I understand that.

Next time you're gonna
get charged for it.

Okay. I appreciate it.

Thank you.

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

Do we know what airport Danielle
Marchetti's flying out of?

No. The State Department
checked for us.

She's not scheduled on any private
or commercial flight leaving tonight

from the tri-state area.

What about the address she used
on her passport application?

It was bogus,

but the health club where
she worked is still open.

I spoke to the manager. He's
going to let me check her file.

Good.

Even if we figure out what
airport she's leaving from,

we don't have the authority
to keep her in the country.

Just find her. I'll
worry about the rest.

Is the plane on time?

I'm afraid not.

There's been a slight delay.
Weather over the Gulf.

What's the new departure time?

It's scheduled for08 p.m.

Jesus. That's four
hours from now.

I know, but it's
the best we can do.

You arrange everything else?

Yes, sir. And customs
won't be a problem.

Neither you nor Miss Marchetti
are on the flight manifest.

Let me know if anything else comes
up. We gotta fly her out tonight.

I am so sorry
about that, Janine.

No, Mrs. Tobin warned me
when she gave me your number.

"He's a busy man."
And I have been...

I've been wanting to
meet you for so long.

Well, Marilyn's wonderful.

They... They don't let Mrs.
Tobin come in the salon anymore,

so I go to her. And
I'm happy to do it.

You know, she really
got a bad rap,

what with her husband
and all of that.

She sure did.

You are a lawyer?

I am.

Wow. How is that?

Do you ever feel blessed?

I do. I do. Absolutely.

I have a lot of great
friends down at the salon.

Well, that's how I
feel about the law.

Heading out? Dinner
with my family.

Uh-oh.

An evening with
Gary and Deniece.

My sister's coming
from Oregon. Oh!

Triple whammy. No, it's great.

I get to meet my niece.

That's right!
You're an aunt now.

Crazy, huh?

Is what's-his-name
coming? The husband.

No. Thank God. He's stuck at work.
His boss wouldn't let him off.

Sounds like a
party. Rock it out.

You gonna hold down the fort?

Yeah, someone's got to. This
Tobin case is never gonna end.

Have a blast.

Thank you.

Mm? See what I mean?

I do.

It's very effervescent. Wait,
is that... Is that a word?

Yes! Is that... Okay.

It certainly is a
word. Darn it. I'm...

Last one, Janine. Sorry.

Okay, this is a client,
so I'll be a minute.

Just take your time, 'cause
I would hate to stand

in the way of justice.

One second.

Hey, Joe, what's up?

Wait. Tell me where you are.

Patty.

Ellen.

What are you doing here?

Seeing your boss.

You're leaving early.

I'm going to Jersey.
Parsons family dinner.

Oh.

The name you gave Tom turned
out to be significant.

Have you subpoenaed
her? Trying to.

She's not very keen on
being found. But thank you.

And if you ever need anything...

No. It was a one-off.

Tom came to me and
I was happy to help,

but that's it for me
in the Tobin case.

Are you sure you don't
want to stick around?

I think this witness is
trying to flee the country.

It could be an exciting night.

I bet, but I have a
train to catch, so...

Oh, right, right, right, of
course. Family. Your top priority.

I'm sorry, I'm
running a little late.

Well, it's almost30.

I know. I'm trying
to find a witness

who may be fleeing the country.

Doesn't Patty have anyone
else who can do that?

No, I don't want anyone else
doing it. It's too important.

Well, my parents are
gonna be here any minute,

and I thought we were
gonna tell them together.

We will. Look, I'm
the one who got

your parents to
invest with Tobin.

I want to be the one
to explain it to them.

You really think this
witness could help your case?

It's the best lead
that we have right now.

All right, babe. Do
what you have to do.

Look, have dinner
with your folks.

I promise you I'll
be there by dessert.

We'll tell them together.

What happened?

I hit you with my car.

Oh, yeah, I was
looking for my cat.

Yeah. Put this on your face.

How long was I out?

I don't know. Just
a little while.

My head hurts.

I called for help,
so don't worry.

My whole side is sore.

What time is it?

Why, you have someplace to be?

Stay down.

Jesus, Joe, what's going on?

Where is she?

In the other room.

What are you doing here?

Did you know my father was
sleeping with Danielle Marchetti?

No. Did you, Lenny?

No. He told me after
you confronted him.

I'm sorry.

Why is he putting her
on an airplane tonight?

All he said was he didn't want
Patty Hewes questioning her.

Huh.

Then Danielle must
know about the money.

Jesus Christ! Could he
be that goddamn stupid?

To put his whole family's
future in her hands? Her?

Joe, I'm as much in
the dark as you are.

But she is in there, and we need
to decide what to do with her.

We don't have a choice. If
she knows about the money,

we get her out of the country.

I think we have to do that.

Patty?

Curtis. I was asked to wait.

You're off to a fundraiser?

A wake, actually.
My great-uncle.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Man was a prick, but thanks.

I'm afraid this is urgent.

Danielle Marchetti.

She used to be the receptionist
at Louis Tobin's health club.

Your people questioned her
a couple of months ago.

And?

Well, she and Tobin may
have been having an affair,

but that's not
the exciting part.

You think she might be
involved in the fraud?

Yes. I also think she's trying
to flee the country tonight.

Uh, Sheryl, can you track down
Judge Reilly's cell number for me?

You have a flight
number? Not yet.

So, you'll talk to Reilly?

Yeah. We'll need a warrant
to detain Marchetti.

What do you have on her?

This is nothing.

Patty, you're asking me to
detain her without evidence?

I'm asking you to prevent a person
of interest from fleeing the country.

Based on a hunch? You're
the court-appointed trustee.

There are rules. I know
you're not used to that.

This woman could prove
critical to our case.

If you let her slip through our
hands, we'll both regret it.

Well, then get me
something real.

I'm sorry. I can't
detain her without cause.

She's beautiful.

She's perfect.

Here you go.

Did you pump?

No, it's organic formula.
Charlotte loves it.

You're not breastfeeding?

Uh-uh. She had trouble
latching on at first,

and my nipples got
all cracked, so...

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Not at my table.

Your father's squeamish.

I'm not squeamish. I'm eating.

And I gotta tell you,
formula's no good.

It's fine. I looked
it up online.

There's nothing
wrong with formula.

I'm telling you girls,
when you were babies,

your mother never
would've dreamed of it.

Say, whatever happened to that guy
you were seeing with the cowboy name?

Wes.

That ended a few months back.

We never even got to meet him.

It's not a big deal. I don't even
know what he's doing anymore.

I'm sorry that Eddie
couldn't make it.

I was looking forward
to seeing him.

Yeah, he really wanted
to make the trip,

but, you know, just bad timing.

League semi-finals. You know
how Eddie is and his sports.

Bowling's not a sport.

I thought you said
he was working.

I did? Yeah.

Well, who can keep
track of these things?

Nice priorities.
Bowling over family.

Danielle stopped working at the
health club a few months ago,

but she had a forwarding address

that she wants her last check to
be sent to. I'm heading there now.

All right.

Where did you get with
the D.A.'s office?

Nowhere. Curtis Gates is
determined to play by the rules,

so unless we find her first,

Danielle Marchetti is
free to leave the country.

All right, I'll be in touch.

You remember Lenny.

Barely. It's been a while.

I'm sorry this happened, and
I know you've been shaken up,

but we need to know if you're
onboard with Louis's plan.

We know about your flight.

I need to see a doctor.

I've already arranged
one. He's on his way.

Okay. If he says I'm safe
to fly, then I'll go.

Your father wants
me on that plane.

And you give my father
anything he wants, don't you?

Where are you going?

I need some air.

Hey, what happened to your wake?

He'll still be dead
at the funeral.

Did you find anything?

No, and I have been through
everything we've got on Marchetti.

Who did the interview with
her at the health club?

I did, a month and a half ago.

I got the transcript right here.

I don't like Patty knowing
something that we don't.

Boss, I'm telling you, I talked to
Marchetti. There is nothing in here.

Well, then why does Patty
want me to detain her?

I don't know.
Maybe she's wrong.

Or maybe she's keeping
evidence from us.

Just give me that.

Danielle Marchetti?

Miss Marchetti?

Can I help you?

Oh, uh, you live around here?

Yeah, across the street.

I'm looking for a Danielle
Marchetti. I think she lives here.

Danielle? Yeah,
sure. Terrific girl.

She helps my wife with the
shopping once in a while.

When was the last
time you saw her?

Well, I can't say for sure.

She in some kind of trouble?

No, I just... I just
wanted to talk to her.

Well, I'll be sure to tell her.

Great. Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, Patty. I'm at
Danielle Marchetti's.

There's a car in the driveway,
but no one seems to be home.

Uh... Call me
when you get this.

Hey, Deb. No, I haven't
been able to find her.

I don't think traffic's
gonna be a problem.

Just tell your mom
and dad I'm on my way.

Leonard, you still here?

Thank you for coming.

Some guy was snooping
around out there.

Tom Shayes. He works
for Patty Hewes.

Did he see you?

No. He's gone now.

Good.

This way, Dr. Brandt.
Patient's in here.

Just relax.

That hurt? Yeah.

What do you think?

How did this happen?

She fell on the stairs.

What... What does it
matter? Can she fly, Karl?

Looking for something?

Someone.

Having any luck?

No. That's why I need you.

Can you stick around
here for a while?

I have no plans. What
do you have in mind?

I'll tell you later. I have
to make a phone call first.

She's definitely
sustained a concussion.

I'm a little worried that
her rib may be broken.

Karl, we need to
know if she can fly.

If this were any other patient,

I'd say get her to a hospital,

but if it's necessary...

What time's the flight?

00.

Observe her until then. And make
sure her speech remains lucid.

Now, if she seems to
start to slur her words

or seems a little light-headed,

or if that nausea
gets any worse,

you need to get her
right to a hospital.

Karl, we can't thank
you enough. Thank you.

Are you okay? You
look a little...

I'm fine.

Leonard Winstone speaking.

This is Patty Hewes.

What a pleasant surprise.

But perhaps I could call you
back first thing tomorrow?

I know about Danielle Marchetti.

I'm not familiar with that name.

Then you won't mind
if I leak her affair

with Louis Tobin to the press.

Miss Hewes.

I'm waiting for
you in my office.

In 30 minutes, everything I've
got gets released to the Post.

What?

I have to meet Patty Hewes.

What does she want?

She's threatening to release your
father's affair to the press.

This is Danielle Marchetti.
We spoke a while back.

I think that we need to
talk again. Please call me.

I'll stay here and watch her.

You okay doing that?

Why wouldn't I be?

All right, well,

then meet me at Farmingdale
Airport, Hangar 6.

Flight's at08, okay?

You find anything?

No. You?

Why the hell do you
think I'm asking you?

Call your wife. Tell her
you're not coming home tonight.

Yeah, I'm not married.

Jesus. How long
have I worked here?

Dad, where does this go?

That one? No idea.
Ask your mother.

You know, you're looking good,
kid. You seem happier than usual.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, Mom, where does this go?

Oh. I'll put it away, honey.

I never meant to hurt you.

You asked when it started. I'll
tell you if you still want to know.

Was it when you
were still with me?

Yes.

When?

About a year before
you went into rehab.

I'm sorry, Joe.
You were a wreck.

So you dump me, and you
start with my father.

I don't know what
you want me to say.

Joe.

It wasn't what you think.

You don't know what I think.

He did it for you, you know.

What?

You were a wreck, so he did it.

What? Did what?

He was only on and off.

So he did it.

I don't want to wreck anymore.

So you start with my father.

Danielle.

What are you talking about?

He wrecked it on and off.

Danielle?

Just say what you
want me to say.

Shit.

I thought you should see this.

What is it?

My statement to the press
about Danielle Marchetti.

It's very well written.

But I don't think
you want to do this.

Why not?

Because not one word
of that is true.

Tell me where she is.

I couldn't even
tell you who she is.

I'm trying to do you a favor,
Mr. Winstone. The choice is yours.

Either deal with this
privately tonight,

or explain to your
clients in the morning

why you let the whole world know

that Louis Tobin was screwing
a towel girl half his age.

I wonder what option
Mrs. Tobin would prefer?

I appreciate the courtesy call,

but I'm not worried
about Marilyn.

No?

I'm just worried
about the truth.

And that woman has nothing
to do with the Tobins.

Well, then it's my mistake.

I'm sorry for getting you all
the way down here for nothing.

Hello?

Oh!

How's the girl?

I don't... Something's wrong.

Her nose is bleeding, she
can't finish sentences.

It could be a subdural
hematoma. Bleeding in the brain.

Well, what happens if she flies?

Fly? She can't fly. You need
to get her to a hospital.

You hear me?

Yes.

Joe, you put her on that
plane and she will die.

I understand.

Yeah? This is Chris Sharp

from the district
attorney's office.

I'm returning Miss
Marchetti's call.

Well, that's weird. A guy
answered and he hung up.

Next time keep your damn
cell phone on you. Okay?

What'd the doctor say?

He said you need
to stay hydrated,

and not to take any aspirin,

but it's nothing to worry about.

Okay, good.

You're good to go.

Yeah.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Hello, Tom. Hi, Ginny.

Art. Hi.

Hi. Sorry. Thank you.

Get yourself the steak
frites. It's delicious.

I had the halibut. Not a fan.

I'm actually... I'm
not very hungry.

Tom and I really just
wanted to talk to you guys.

Your husband's been running
around all day. Let the man eat.

No, no, no, I'm... I'm fine.

I'm sorry, I just need one more
minute. I'll be right back.

Patty? Yeah. They were
still in the house.

Look, write this down. It's
a license plate number.

N-Z-E-4-7-4-5.

Did you ever think
when you were up here

making out with Mike Delvecchio

that you would be
changing diapers someday?

God, no.

What's going on, Carrie?

What do you mean?

Downstairs, with the envelope.

Mom looked like she was crying.

Did something happen with Eddie?

Uh...

I'm sure it's temporary.

What's temporary?

What did he do?

Uh...

He left me three weeks ago, and
I haven't heard from him since.

Why didn't you tell me?

'Cause I just... I didn't
want to bother you, you know?

You have too much on
your plate already.

Don't be silly, let me help.

Don't ask Mom for money.

They can't afford it.
How much do you need?

No. You know what?
Ellen, I can't.

It is not a problem. Truly.

I'll write you a check.

Thank you.

Oh...

Are you gonna stay here?

Just till I get on my feet.

Does Dad know? No. No.

And he's gonna freak out. You
know he's going to blame me.

I just... I can't take
that right now, Ellen.

I just don't... I don't
want to be yelled at.

I know, I know, but you're
gonna have to tell him soon.

I was going to in the morning.

Can you... Can you stay? I just
really don't want to do this alone.

I really want to be there for
you, I do, I... I have to work.

I know. You know what?
I totally understand.

It's okay.

Do you know how long
the flight will be?

Uh, we can ask when
we get there, okay?

You look like your
dad right now.

Stop talking, please.

How do I know you? Your
voice sounds so familiar.

Just rest, okay?

So, what is it you want
to talk about, Tom?

You two look tense.

Look, there's no
good way to say this,

but I want to tell
you before you got

your next financial statements.

Financial statements?
What's this about?

I screwed up.

Jesus, one day in this house

and your crap's in
every single room!

You and Eddie want
to be slobs, fine.

Do it in your house, not mine!

Gary, I don't
think she's a slob.

I said I'm sorry.

I didn't even put this
stuff here, Mom did.

Oh, don't you blame your mother!

Dad, stop it!

I think she gets it.

Are you ready to leave, honey?

We can take you to the train.

No, Ma, I think I'm
gonna stay the night.

Oh! Well, how wonderful.

Our two girls under
the same roof.

Fine with me. One less
trip to the station.

Gary, honey.

It's gonna be okay.

How far away are you?

I'm 10 minutes from the airport.

We found her. She's on
the way to the airport.

We have a license plate number.

I told you, Patty, we're not
gonna detain her without cause.

We have cause.

What is it?

He's driving with
a broken taillight.

Shit.

Shit.

How are you?

License and registration.

Is there a problem?

Your taillight's busted.

Oh!

I'm sorry.

What's wrong with her?

She's... She's ill.

I was actually just taking
her to the hospital.

Really?

'Cause the hospital's
a mile back.

You just passed it.

Oh, really?

1-2-Alpha to HQ.
I need rescue.

She's not coming.

I thought I'd get here
to stop her myself,

but it turns out
I didn't have to.

The police pulled her over.

Actually, they pulled
Joe Tobin over.

Danielle Marchetti was
unconscious in the backseat.

Gee, that all sounds terrific,

but I have no idea what
you're talking about.

It took me a while
to find the airport

she was flying out of,
but I figured it out.

And surprise, surprise,
I find you here.

Yeah, I'm off for a
weekend in the Bahamas.

Care to join?

Danielle's in the hospital,
in case you're wondering.

What happened, Mr. Winstone?

Joe told the police she fell?

Patty, listen, before you
issue the press release...

There's no press
release. There never was.

Oh, I see. You
had me followed.

That's how you
found the airport.

I'm impressed.

Tonight's been educational.

I always knew the Tobins
were hiding something.

Now I know you're
helping them do it.

My colleague's already served
Danielle with a subpoena,

so I got what I wanted.

Good night, Mr. Winstone.

Here's a check.

Thanks, Ellie.

There's a t-shirt and stuff
upstairs, if you want to borrow it.

Find everything you need?

Yeah.

Remember this?

We'll fight the
powers that be just

Don't pick up our destiny

This is our life

This is our song

I do.

Look at you two.

Were we not adorable?

Your best won't do

'Cause we're not gonna take it

Oh, no

We ain't gonna take it

I'll be right back.

Oh, we're not gonna take it

Anymore

Hey, Patty, it's Ellen.

I was just wondering. Did
you find that witness?

We're not gonna take it

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left

When I am through with you

There won't be anything left
