Damages (2007–2012): Season 5, Episode 8 - I'm Afraid of What I'll Find - full transcript

Previously on Damages:

I got some stuff about how
the military's handling

soldiers with PTSD.

Any chance you could
introduce me to McClaren?

The administration just wants
to know if you'd consider it.

I'm flattered.

We're talking about the
fucking U.S. Supreme Court.

You're goddamn right
you should be flattered.

I just thought you should know
that he wants to talk to you.

You look so much
like your mother.

What if I told you I
put you in my will?



Don't you ever try
to contact me again.

I talked to Bruce Davies.

Gave me the name of the guy
who was supplying Fund 23

with stock tips. Helmut
Torben. You heard of him?

Never seen him
before in my life.

You've been supplying illegal
stock tips to Fund 23.

Why is this any
concern of yours?

We're fucked if this
ever gets out there.

You admitted what you
tried to do to me.

All this time, you have
believed that I would actually

try to have you killed?

If not you, then who?

Pete was fiercely loyal to me.

He may have acted on his
own in order to protect me.



[OVER RADIO]: mostly
sunny and windy day.

The temperatures will rise up
to 50 degrees with winds west-

northwest at 20 to
30 miles per hour.

Tomorrow night, the temperature
should drop into the low 30s

and we're looking clear sailing
ahead for the rest of the week.

Now with the traffic
and transit report,

here's Monica Toriello.

MONICA: Well, it looks
like we've had quite a mess

at Mass Pass and this is
going to be on the LIE

on the westbound side of
Maurice Avenue to the BQE

and then more delays
from Greenpoint Avenue

right into the Queens
Midtown Tunnel.

Also watch for delays on the
BQE on the westbound side.

And we have delays

on the Staten Island
Expressway eastbound...

Thanks, Pete.

A lot tougher than
killing a dog, right?

♪ When I am through with you ♪

So, if I understand you,

you're saying your former
boss tried to kill you.

Tried to have me killed. Yes.

I... I believe she
sent someone to do it.

Is this the same attack that
you've talked about before?

Yes.

Ellen, how can you be sure
that your boss was involved?

Well, that's the thing.

I got her to admit it.

But later, she took it all back

and said she was only telling
me what I wanted to hear.

Do you believe her denial?

I don't know what to believe.

I want to track down
the man who attacked me

to prove that she hired him.

But I realize...

What?

I'm afraid of what I'll find.

Explain that to me.

Well, for so long,

I've held her responsible,

and if it turns
out she wasn't...

I-I think I...

understand now why you've
kept this woman in your life.

After everything that
happened with David,

this attack has
given you a purpose.

You know, your rage at
her has kept you going.

That's why you're trying
this case against her.

If you found out that she had
nothing to do with this attack,

how would you feel?

I-I don't know.

Well, what if you find
out she did do it?

After she confessed to me

and then tried to fuck
with my head by denying it?

Yeah.

How would you feel?

I'd want her to pay.

I'd want to make her feel
as vulnerable as I did

the night I was attacked.

I'd want her to
experience all that pain.

All that fear.

All that humiliation.

And to live with it.

Every day, like I've had to.

Of course, we can't say
for certain right now,

but we're 90% sure there will
be an opening on the court.

They have assurances, Patty,

at least one justice
is going to retire.

We're looking for people
with real-world experience,

not just a bunch of robes
coming from the bench.

We like that you've been able
to play nice on both sides

of the aisle and your
career is defined

by righting injustice
rather than party politics.

You're a crusader, Patty,

and in this Main Street
versus Wall Street climate,

that makes you attractive.

Been fighting for the little
guy your whole career.

We've got a short
list of candidates,

and we'd very much like
to put your name on it,

but we have been burned before.

You know what gets exposed
when someone's life is thrust

into the spotlight.

It's done.

[PARSONS SHRIEKS, HEWES SOBS]

So there's no point
in vetting you

if you're just going to say no.

I told Pete to have you killed.

Oh, of course.

You have to understand, uh...

Ms. Hewes built an
incredibly successful firm

from the ground up.

She has tremendous influence
and the freedom to try

only those cases that
interest her most.

Well, that would be
very hard to give up.

You confessed to me, Patty.

Yes, it would.

Well, thanks for coming, Dennis.

You know, just being
considered is a great honor.

Ms. Hewes will give this
all due consideration.

Well, that's good. I'm glad.

It was a pleasure to
meet you, Ms. Hewes.

Likewise.

What are you doing, Patty?

What?

Well, he flew up
here from Washington.

You got to give
the guy something.

I did. I gave him my time.

You will consider
this, won't you?

Sure.

I'll consider it.

Okay.

SIMON: Wow, you're up early.

You still thinking
about that Torben thing?

How could I not?

Look, I know what
Bruce Davies told you,

but... he's a desperate
man facing jail.

How do we know that he's
not just pointing fingers,

trying to make
himself look better?

No, we need to take this
information to Ellen.

No. No, we can't.
That's a bad idea.

She's our lawyer.

All right, look,
there's some... Fuck.

There's something
you need to know.

What is it?

I lied about Torben.

I do know who he is.

Who is he?

He is one of our supporters.

And a very important financial
backer for this organization.

Jesus Christ.

Listen, just hear me out.

Right before the Naomi
Walling leak, we needed funds.

Torben was very enthusiastic
about the cause,

and could provide a very
healthy influx of cash.

I... I didn't know he was
wrapped up in Princefield.

No?

Why'd you lie to me about him?

I don't know.

Just... knee-jerk.

I fucked up.

I felt like I'd failed you.

Why would someone who
provided Princefield

with insider tips
also want to fund us?

I don't know.

But I can imagine what'll
happen to this Web site

if anyone else finds
out about this.

Torben's a criminal,
and we need to out him.

Channing, we are already
embroiled in one scandal.

We can't afford to have another.

Once this case is over,
then we'll go after Torben.

In the meantime, we can't
tell anyone about this,

not even Ellen.

All right.

We'll just keep this
between us for now.

Why haven't you found
McClaren's donors?

All right, you see this?

This is a full transcript,

Three years ago, tried in
Munich Regional Superior Court.

Defamation and slander.

Found for the defendant, our
friend Channing McClaren.

And your point is?

My point is that the
complainant's attorneys

tried every goddamn
trick in the book

to uncover the sources
of McClaren's financing.

And? And they found nothing.

And we haven't done any better.

And these lemmings have gone
through every goddamn case

we can find.

McClaren's got his
major donors hidden away

behind layer after
layer of pixie dust.

Well, the trial's
around the corner,

and I need to know
McClaren's worth

so I know how much
to ask in damages.

I'm sorry, Patty.

I can't sue him if I don't
know how deep his pockets are.

Well, what has Parsons
turned over in discovery?

According to the financial
statements that she submitted,

McClaren is virtually broke.

Maybe he is.

Bullshit.

Find out who's funding
him and what he's worth.

All right, everybody, out.

All right, that's it.

I mean, somebody's
got to say it.

You can ask for all
the damages you want,

but you ain't got
a fucking case.

I've won with less.

Yeah, maybe.

But not without the
benefit of a guilty target.

What does that mean?

It means I don't believe
McClaren is guilty.

All right, maybe
he's an egomaniac,

and maybe he got a little
rough with Naomi Walling

in that hotel room.

But I don't really believe
that he tried to harm her.

And you got nothing to
show that I'm wrong.

Well, I appreciate your opinion.

[SCOFFS]

You know, it's not enough
that you're wasting your time,

you're risking 30-plus
years of your reputation.

You think you can beat
Ellen Parsons with nothing,

but what if you lose, Patty?

What if you lose?

Get back to work.

Find out who's funding
Channing McClaren.

Channing wants to tell
Ellen Parsons about you.

That cannot happen.

It won't.

I've convinced him not to.

Very good. No, not very good.

Not very good, at all.

You've compromised me.

You know damn well I would
never have made this arrangement

if I'd known you were
involved in that crime.

Calm yourself, Mr. Simon.

You better not have any more
fucking surprises for me.

Don't worry about it.

There's nothing else.

We are still partners, yes?

Soon, it will be over,
you'll get everything

that was promised to you.

Tell Mr. Herreshoff
I'm not pleased.

I'll tell him, but
he will not care.

Well, he should care.

I can still pull the plug on

this whole thing
whenever I want.

For someone in your position,

making threats is very foolish.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SIGHS]

You confessed to me.

I told you what
you wanted to hear.

If not you, then who?

Pete. He may have acted on his
own in order to protect me.

Mrs. McKee. I'm surprised
to hear from you.

Is everything okay?

I found something
in Peter's closet.

It has your name.

Did he ever explain
these to you?

No.

If Pete did anything
bad, it was for Patty.

[DOG BARKING]

Because everything he did...

was for Patty.

[DOG BARKING]

[PARSONS SCREAMING]

You okay?

Just need some air.

Oh, Patty wants another
list of McClaren donors.

[PANTING]

[BIRD COOING, WINGS FLUTTERING]

Hello?

[KNOCKING]

Hello, Mrs. McKee?

It's Ellen Parsons.

[KNOCKING]

STEFANIA: Hold your horses.
I don't move so good.

Yeah?

[GRUNTS] Hi.

Uh-huh?

It's Ellen Parsons.

I brought some pastries.

Oh.

Yeah, that... thank you, that...

Come in. Thank you.

Careful. Thank you.

Don't trip.

[TV PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

So... how are things
at Hewes & Associates?

Patty is well?

Actually, a little after
Uncle Pete passed away,

Patty and I kind of
went our separate ways.

[CHUCKLES]

Ah, yes.

Patty is very demanding boss.

Yes. She was.

Last time I saw you, Mrs. McKee,

you gave me this.

At the time, you said
something and, um,

I've been wondering about it.

What did I say?

You said,

"Everything that Pete
does is for Patty."

I say this?

Yeah.

Do you remember why?

No, I'm sorry. I... I don't.

But Peter was always
very loyal to Patty.

He loved her like a daughter.

Would do anything she asked.

Patty gave him job,
believed in him.

Peter became a different
man because of Patty.

I know they were very close.

Yeah, but they
did used to argue.

I didn't know that.[CHUCKLES]

Yes, big fights.

About what?

Many things.

But also you.

Peter thought Patty
was crazy to hire you.

She trusted you too much.

Really?

Mm. Peter saw Patty rely
on you more and more.

It was almost like he
was, um... jealous.

Can I ask you one more question?

Uh-huh.

Who is this?

Peter had many friends.

Uh... no.

I don't know him. I
never saw him before.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could help.

You already have.

Thank you, Mrs. McKee.

And, uh, if you think
of anything else,

please give me a call.

Hi.

MICHAEL: I'm looking
for Ms. Franklin.

Kate, yes.

Thank you for coming in. Please.

Sure.

Have a seat.

Can I get you
something to drink?

No, I'm good.

So you work for Ellen? I do.

But on the phone, you said this
isn't about my custody case.

No, I wanted to discuss
an unrelated matter.

A client I represent has
a proposition for you.

Who's your client?

Lyle Hewes.

My grandfather?

That's right.

But isn't the guy dead?

No.

Although his health is failing,

Mr. Hewes is very much alive.

My mother told me he
died when I was a kid.

I'm afraid your mother
wasn't telling you the truth.

Mr. Hewes has asked me to
arrange a meeting with you.

Why?

He'd like to include
you in his will.

Are you serious?

I am.

So, if you have an
open day this week,

Mr. Hewes was hoping to
explain it all to you himself.

So, Davies said Torben was
responsible for passing

on the illegal tips?

He also seemed to think Torben
may have killed Samurai Seven.

I have to go to the
police with this.

You can't.

Why not?

Because we're in
bed with Torben.

He is McClarenTruth's
biggest donor.

He funded the Princefield leaks.

How was Torben
brought in as a donor?

Rutger found him.

If Rutger didn't
want you to tell me,

then why are you here?

If Helmut Torben was involved
in the insider trading,

then he had direct motive
to discredit Naomi Walling.

Torben could have leaked
her personal information,

which would exonerate Channing.

Only if we have proof.

That's why we have
to pursue Torben.

It's dangerous.

Torben is very
wealthy and powerful.

We have to be careful
of men like that.

What are you saying?

If what Davies says is true,

then Torben has a lot to lose.

But he has no reason
to stir up trouble

in our case unless I
start to target him.

Then he could turn on us.

So let me get this straight.

There's a man out
there who has a reason

to want to discredit
Naomi Walling,

everything that Channing
is being accused of,

and you want to leave
him alone? Gitta...

I'm sorry, but I
don't understand.

Right now, Patty's case is weak.

The trial is just
around the corner.

We can pursue Torben
if and when we need to.

But to go after
him unnecessarily,

it's, it's stupid.

Look who's representing you.

Can you believe
this cynical shit?

I'm trying to win your case.

Torben is a criminal.

Who donated to your cause.

So?

I just don't want to
see this whole thing

blow up in your face.

She has a point.

Right now, Chris Sanchez
is going to be sending

you his information.

Focus on that, and let's
just keep this to ourselves.

The guys I've seen on the tapes,

they have all the symptoms
of full-blown PTSD, okay?

They can't sleep, they're-

they're shaky, disoriented.

These guys are ready to
fall apart any second.

But they got redeployed anyway?

Within weeks.

And then the shit hit the
fan: suicides, friendly fire,

abuse of non-combatants.

They're fed a boatload
of antidepressants,

and then they're sent back in.

And the military? The
just buried all of it.

This is very intriguing,

but we are gonna need
something more concrete.

I can get you interviews.

I can get you medical records,
deployment documentation.

I can get you whatever you need.

Well, if you do, then
McClarenTruth would love

to help you present
this to the world.

So, what's the next step?

Okay, these are the
encryption codes you'll need

to upload all the information
you can get onto our servers.

And then, then what
happens? You guys do what?

Well, we sort through
everything, clean it up,

and post it.

Look, I understand
your reluctance, Chris.

I can assure you what
happened with Naomi Walling,

that is never
gonna happen again.

You don't have to go
through with this, you know.

Are you sure you're
okay with it?

Look, I don't want to fuck
up your case or anything.

Actually, I-I think it
could do the opposite.

It could finally focus some
positive press on McClaren.

But I...

But what?

The information you're
giving them is classified.

You broke the law to get it.

Those soldiers need this.

Somebody's got to
get their story out.

I just want you
to think about it.

The air's colder than
a ditch-digger's ass.

Feels nice.

You sure it's okay for you
to be out here like this?

Course it is.

You got a cigarette?

No, sorry.

Good of you to come out
here like this. Thanks.

How long you known about me?

A long time. Sure.

See, your mom and me,

we don't get on.

So I never had a
chance like this.

She told me you were dead.

[CHUCKLES]

Can't trust Pat. Never could.

Always making mountains
out of mouse piles.

Nothing but an ungrateful cunt.

Jesus.

She's your daughter.

I read your interview
in that legal magazine.

That's why I wanted to see you.

Yeah, I'm interested
in hearing about

this proposition of yours.

I'll tell you all about it.

How far away is this place?

Relax.

We'll be there soon enough.

[PHONE RINGS]Oh,
is she a happy one?

[TV PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

And she'll have her wings.

Hello?

Yeah, sure. One second.

It's for you.

PATRICK: Hello.

Patrick? Yeah.

It is Stefania.

Mrs. McKee, how are ya?

Very well, yes.

Good, I'm glad.

Is something wrong?

Patrick, a woman come
by asking for you.

What woman?

A lawyer.

What did she say?

She show me your picture.

She wants to know who you are.

I see.

I tell her nothing.

I thought you should know.

Well, thanks.

I appreciate you
getting in touch.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, sure. Nothing
to worry about.

Thanks for your
call, Mrs. McKee.

I'll talk to you soon.

Who was that?

Just an old friend.

It looks like I have to
go away for a few days.

Got some business
back in New York.

So, uh, this is
where my mom grew up?

That's it.

What was she like as a kid?

Weak, needy, scared.

You sure this is my mom
you're talking about?

She always shied
away from a fight.

Afraid of her own shadow.

That's why I took it on
myself to toughen her up.

That's why she hates me.

But it worked.

Maybe it worked too well.

Look at her now.

You're saying you
made her what she is?

Of course I did.

I'm her father.

Michael, did you ever
meet your grandmother?

I'm not sure.

I don't remember her.

[PANTING]

Well, years ago, uh,

she and your mother

brought a lawsuit against me.

They conspired to take away

everything that I had.

Well, um, Kate was my lawyer,

but Pat beat us.

And I lost it all.

Including the land?

Well, I-I-I barely managed

to hold on to that.

I'm still a part owner with...

with, uh, her.

And she went to the
judge and convinced him

to make her cotrustee.

What does that mean?

Means that I can't do
anything without going to her.

[COUGHING]

You okay?

Here.

I'm going to be gone soon, Mike.

You're the last male Hewes.

I-I-I want you to have all this.

I want you to have the...

the land and the house.

Everything.

My mother's not
going to go for that.

Then convince her.

In the magazine interview,

you talked about how she tried
to wrest away custody from you.

And?

You don't want to be
a father, Michael.

Trust me.

You go to her, you
make a bargain.

What do you mean?

The kid. You trade her
the kid for the land.

Are you crazy?

No, I'm not. Children
are ingrates.

They go away. They
never do what you want.

But the land... the
land is a constant.

It's always here for you.

WILLIAMS: Five years ago, we
searched Patty Hewes' apartment

after you said that
you were assaulted,

and we found nothing.

I mean, no body, no evidence
of struggle, nothing.

Because someone cleaned it up.

Look, we don't
doubt your account.

It's just, we haven't been
able to corroborate it.

So, is my file closed?

Technically, no.

Okay, but without
any evidence or a...

a crime scene, there's
not much that can be done.

I have something I
want to show you.

I found it in the
evidence box you gave me.

I think this is the blood
from the guy who attacked me.

Can you test it for DNA?

Please, I need you to test this.

Just see if it's in the system.

You're a lawyer...

You must understand that
there are protocols.

What's the worst
that could happen?

That I'm wrong and
that it leads nowhere.

We can't do that.

We can't just start
sending things to the lab.

Look, a man tried to kill me.

I want to know who he is.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

You lied to me.

Your father's alive.

You told me he died years ago.

I assumed he did.

My mistake.

What are you doing
here, Michael?

I need your signature.

What is this?

My inheritance.

Your father's attorney
got in touch with me.

I don't want you to
have anything to do

with my father or that land.

It's a little late for that.

I already hung out with Grandpa.

Don't call him that.

Cute house you grew up in.

He took me to it.

Well, as soon as he's dead,

I'm going to sell
the house, the land,

the whole goddamn place.

He assumed you'd be resistant.

You should know better, Michael.

My father is using you.

He only reached out to
you in order to get to me.

You're giving him
too much credit.

He's a crazy old man.

He's harmless.

You have no idea.

Come on.

Couldn't have been that bad.

If this land stays
in the family,

then it-it will give
Catherine roots.

Whatever hostility you have
towards me or your father,

don't hold it against her.

Sign it.

Three...

Is it working?

I'm about to find out.

No, sir.

No, sir, I guess I do not
feel ready for combat, sir.

Duly noted, Corporal.

I'm going to have the
nurses over there start you

on a course of medications today

that will get you
feeling better.

And then you'll be good to go.

No, I'm not good to go, sir.

Take the pills. You'll see.

They'll change your outlook.

SOLDIER: You don't understand.

Please, I can't go back.

I'm not good for
my guys like this.

Soldier, take the meds.

You'll be fine.

Am I clear?

Yes, sir. Good.

I'll check on your
progress in a few weeks.

Look, sir, if... if
I could just talk...

I have to talk to
another patient now.

Good day, soldier.

Here's how it's going to work.

You eat here, you sleep
here, you shit here.

However long it takes.

You'll work in pairs.

No one in or out
until we're done.

We're air-gapped.

No Wi-Fi, no Internet, nothing.

You'll hand in your
phones, your tablets,

and when we're finished,
I'll search you again.

No data leaves.

And absolutely nothing is
posted unless I do it myself.

If anyone has a problem
with any of this,

you can leave now.

MAN: No problem, man. I'm in.

Good. SIMON: Pick a partner.

All the encrypted data's
on here, read-only.

Want everything gone through
with a fine-tooth comb.

Every document, every video.

All personal information
redacted, all faces obscured.

No mistakes.

[OVERLAPPING VOICES ON VIDEO]

[VOICES CONTINUE, DISTORTED]

Hi.

I ordered already.
I was starving.

I'm afraid I couldn't wait.
How dare you go behind my back.

Michael is my son.

If I wanted him to
meet his grandfather

and see where I grew up, I
would have taken him myself.

Lyle is my client.

I was acting as his lawyer
and serving his wishes.

Lyle, your client,

whatever the fuck you want to
call him, was an evil prick.

He is dying, Patty,

and he is trying to make amends.

There is no possible way
for him to make amends.

I'm sorry that he abandoned
you and your mother.

That must have been horrible.

Patty, you have already
made your point.

You sued him. You
beat me in court.

You wiped him out. You
took everything he had.

So why are you still clinging
to all of this hatred?

What is the point?

There is no point.

Hating him is enough.

Stay away from my son.

[SIGHS]

Come on, man.

You've scoured everything.
It's been 68 hours.

Just push the fucking button.

Oh, beautiful.

Okay.

Here we go.

[LOW MURMURING]

McClaren's on every front page.

A new leak.

Yeah, a big one.

He's got the military
by the balls,

and now he's getting more ink

than that Armenian girl
with the big tuchus.

Ellen's making a
name for herself.

The fact is, the trial's
less than two weeks away,

and now she's making
McClaren look like

a goddamn white knight.

I'm not worried.

She still has to hand
over a list of his donors.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Front page on all of them.

Oh, beautiful.

Just what we wanted.

You happy?

That's good work.

Both of you.

You bring what we asked for?

of the past seven years.

I'll send you an
electronic copy as well.

We asked for a list of
all of McClaren's donors.

They're all in front of you.

There's a name missing.

What name?

Helmut Torben.

To my knowledge Mr. Torben
has had no involvement,

Then your knowledge
is limited, isn't it?

Well, doesn't matter.

I've filed a request
for all the information

pertaining to contributions made
by Mr. Torben to your client.

If you don't hand it over,

I'll have you thrown
in jail for contempt.

Mr. Torben is quite
a wealthy man.

I'll be basing my
request for damages

on his very deep pockets.

I'm surprised as
you are, kitten.

Hey, what the hell was that?

It's called leverage.

Yeah, I know, I know that,
but where did it come from?

How did you conjure
up Helmut Torben?

I made an arrangement.

With who?

You were right.

Ellen Parsons intended
to hide what she knows

about Helmut Torben.

I only gave you
this information,

because I know that
Channing did not hack

Naomi Walling's
personal e-mails.

But I do believe that Torben
had something to do with it.

Well, I'm not interested in
going after an innocent man.

If Torben is truly the
guilty party behind all this,

I'll make sure he's
prosecuted for it.

You've taken quite a risk
in telling me about Torben.

The biggest risk
to our organization

is if Channing's
reputation is destroyed.

Nothing else matters.

Ms. Novak?

Rutger Simon runs the business
end of the organization,

is that right?

Yes, that's right. He does.

So, if anyone made a mistake
taking money from Torben,

it's Mr. Simon.

Absolutely. Channing isn't
responsible for any of it.

[TV PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

Oh. Oh-oh-oh.

[LAUGHS]

Oh.

What a nice surprise.

After you called, I
thought, it's been too long.

Ah, yes. I had some
business in town,

so I thought I'd stop
by and say hello.

Come, come, sit.

I have some pastries
I get for you.

So, uh, how are
things at the church?

You still involved
like you used to be?

No. The new
Monsignor is asshole.

I left Ellen Parsons'
card on the table.

Thank you for this, Mrs. McKee.

Of course.

You help me, I help you.

We got a DNA match.

You got a hit?

Yeah, this knucklehead's
pulled a lot of crap,

but it's all low-rent.
Mostly theft.

WILLIAMS: His name's
Patrick Scully.

Attempted murder seems
way out of his league.

WILLIAMS: We checked
his last known address.

It seems he left town
several years ago.

And?

Well, apparently, he's
been clean ever since.

So, there's no
way to locate him?

Well, we put out a bulletin;

if he pops up anywhere,
we'll let you know.

I'm sorry, Miss Parsons, that's
about the best we can do.

I understand.

Thanks for your help.

Sure.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Hey. I heard from Michael.

Patty turned him
down, I'm afraid.

You look tired.

That trip wiped you
out. You need to sleep.

I need to get that paper signed.

You know, find another
way. Talk to her again.

If she won't sign it,
there is nothing I can do.

Well, that's easy
for you to say.

You don't know what
it's like to...

You okay? Hey.

Can you hear me?

Uh, something's wrong.

Could you, uh, send a
nurse in here, please?

Well, first we need
a new coat of paint.

Yeah, all it needs is
a fresh coat of paint.

It's okay, relax. Just relax.

Oh...

Oh...

[LOW MOAN]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Uh, I think he lost
consciousness. I don't know...

Hi, Mr. Hewes?

Mr. Hewes, it's Talia, honey.

Can you hear me?

Honey? Can you hear me?

Can you step out
of the way, please?

Sorry.

Get the EMTs right away.

What's going on?

Can you step out
of the room, ma'am?

Please, step out of the room.

Okay, um, uh, he has a DNR.

Yes, we know. Who are you?

Uh, I'm Kate Franklin.
I'm his daughter.

[RIPPING NOISE]

UNCLE PETE: It's done.

[PARSONS SHRIEKING]

[SOBBING]

You confessed to me, Patty.

[INHALES SHARPLY, EXHALES]

[LINE RINGING]

ROGER: Patty. What a surprise.

I want it, Roger.

I'm sorry?

The Supreme Court.

I want the nomination.

Call your friend in Washington.

Oh, of course.
