Deception (2013): Season 1, Episode 10 - You're the Bad Guy - full transcript

The effort to rush Lyritrol to market, trial
results were altered. Lives were lost.

Is this why Vivian
was murdered?

No.

What you have destroyed today

you'll never get back.

How did he get
this alleged evidence?

We need to find out
who's on your side.

Isn't there a person
you can talk to,

find out what she's really been
doing for the last ten years?

I've got the person
who knows her best.

Isn't this the best surprise?



Mom!
He doesn't trust me.

That's why he's gonna ask you
a bunch of questions.

He's gonna try to catch me
in a lie.

What's your opening offer
gonna be

when you make your bid
for Bowers?

Will he find something
that will affect the merger?

How do you know about the kids?

I never published
that information.

I think Audrey Cruz
may have killed your sister.

I need
a bone marrow transplant.

You're my best chance.
What murder weapon?

We found a golf club
near the body.

- Kimberly Yaeger?
- You made a bad deal.

Good luck with your death.



I need Wyatt to stay in jail.

Either I get your signature
on the consent form

or Robert will learn how
you'll always be wet for Wyatt.

You still love him, don't you?

Okay, I'm in.

You're worried we're gonna get
caught, aren't you?

My mom is down the hall.

Edward keeps texting me.

He's been texting all morning.

I have to see what he wants...

Mmhmm.

But I promise this
to you again.

And I am gonna hold you
to that.

I promise to God, Nichole,
you have five seconds.

Before I'm deported.
I know, I know.

Just listen.

Audrey Cruz
bought a one-way ticket

to Morocco yesterday.

- How do you know that?
- It doesn't matter.

Why is this chick

so eager to leave town
and not come back?

This hoochie from Kirschner-Sims
starts dating Julian

right as his father's company
goes down in flames,

and now her company's
billion-dollar drug

gets to market first?

That can't be a coincidence.

She has to know something.
There's a story here.

All right, thank you, Nichole.
I'll take it from here.

Audrey's about to disappear.

Nichole, we will take it
from here.

If we need your help,
we'll let you know.

What are we doing down here?

Shh!
I need talk to you.

I gotta go see will.

So do you think that you
can just avoid Robert

until I get back?

I can handle Robert.

What I wanna know
is what Julian was doing

coming out of your room
this morning.

What do you think he was doing?

Well, I mean... what?

My contact just fell out!

Okay, just don't step on it.
We're gonna find it.

Why don't
you just wear glasses?

Well, because I still care
about my appearance.

Does will know
what you're doing?

No, obviously.

Well, he deserves better
than that.

Can you please mind
your business?

Well, I would love to,
but I was yanked out

of my nice apartment
by Robert Bowers,

and now I'm back
in this house of horrors.

And I have your contact lens.

- Great.
- You are welcome.

Well, whatever
you can live with, Joanna,

but I'm telling you

this thing with Julian
doesn't have legs.

It can't.
It's not in his nature.

Look at this.

You think Mia
might've lost this down here?

Who knows?

This whole family
sheds jewelry like dog fur.

I miss Vivian all the time,

and ever since she died,
everybody's gone crazy.

Um...

I'm sorry.
Why are we filming this?

I find the tapes helpful.

Do you, like, look at them
alone late at night?

- You're angry.
- No.

I'm just asking because
it seems a little creepy.

And, yeah, okay,
I am a little angry.

My sister was murdered,
and then it turned out

that she was my mother,
and now my rapist father

wants my bone marrow, so, yeah,

I'm a little mad
and a little confused.

Maybe if you work
through the anger,

you can have some clarity
on some issues.

What is your obsession
with anger?

Oh, my God.

Maybe you could just tell me

what was going on with my sister
when she died.

You were her therapist.
You were in her head.

You knew how she felt
about my father.

- You know I can't do that.
- Why not?

She's dead.
I'm alive, and I need help.

Help me.
I'm sorry, Mia.

But if we focus on you...

I don't wanna focus on me.

Thank you.

Wait, wait.

So you're saying Audrey
put a hit out on someone?

Russian mob.

We believe they also killed
your sister

and a reporter by the name
of Remy Colville

who started
to uncover the truth.

Okay, so all those test
subjects that died,

none of that was true?

Kirschner-Sims
made the whole thing up

to discredit Lyritrol
and beat us to market.

And now, Frank Drexler
gets to strong-arm dad

into a merger.

I got played.

I should've never released
those test results.

I believed them
when I read 'em.

At least you weren't
banging the person

behind the entire thing.

When are you gonna
arrest Audrey?

We're building the case,

but this thing
has to be airtight.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

I was hoping you'd ask that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- Hey, I'm looking for Will.

- Have you seen him?
- Yeah.

He's with Julian
and Edward Bowers

who are both here right now.

- Julian's here right now?
- Yes.

We couldn't get a search warrant
for Audrey Cruz's place,

so we had to go
to plan "B."

- What's plan "B"?
- I'll let will tell you.

Okay, so we put a wire
on Julian.

We have him
checking Audrey's place

to see if he can find
the burner phone

that she called
the Russians on.

- This is crazy.
- I know.

But we don't have any time.

He's our only in.
You said she's leaving town.

Look, Joanna.

We're almost there, all right?

Once we're done with this,
you know,

maybe we can figure this out,

figure out us.

Will, I slept with Julian.

Wow.

And I wish I could say
that it was a mistake

and that it didn't
mean anything,

but then I'd be lying.

Okay.

You're off the case.

- Will, I wanna finish this.
- Too bad.

Because your feelings are hurt?

Feelings? Who gives a crap
about my feelings, Joanna?

But, no, yeah,
my feelings are hurt.

You have no objectivity,

your testimony
is completely compromised,

and you're fired.

And, you know,
I'm just curious.

How's this gonna work
when you tell your boyfriend

you've been lying to him
this whole time?

If you don't agree
to this merger,

we'll do it the hard way.

Your people won't be protected.

You really are
the village idiot, Frank.

Ah, here we go.

To think you could
pull this off,

it takes a really
special kind of stupid.

Does Bowers make a drug
that treats delusions?

'Cause you really should
try that.

Oh, wait... might kill ya.
Never mind.

We both know
Kirschner-Sims' fingerprints

are all over this!

How long do you think
it'll take me

to collect enough shares
for a hostile grab?

I guess we'll find out.

Gentlemen, will you please
excuse us

so I can speak
to my client in private?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Talk some sense into him.

Robert, what are you doing?

A merger was our best option.

Tom, this whole thing
is a setup.

We both know you've engaged

in some questionable moves
in the past.

Now you're out of options.

Take the golden parachute,
I beg you.

- Frank.
- Yeah?

You know my assistant Joanna,
don't you?

Never saw her before
in my life.

Oh.
Really?

Go screw yourself.

Why do you think
I would know Frank Drexler?

You seem like kindred spirits.

I'll be going out for lunch.

It was fantastic.

Robert Bowers melted down.

Frank, I need to get away
for a while.

Can you cut me my bonus check?

Not until Robert Bowers
agrees to the merger.

So where you gonna go?

This is the bank account

where you can deposit
the check.

You seem nervous.
That makes me nervous.

No, I'm, just... I'm tired.
This hasn't been easy.

This was your plan, Audrey.

Foolproof... isn't that
what you told me?

Well, it got complicated.

There's a reporter,
Remy Colville,

who has some information
he plans to make public.

That can't happen.

And you want me get rid
of information or reporter?

Both.

I need this merger
to go through.

I'm not interested
in complications.

So are we buttoned up?
It's taken care of.

I want that money
by the end of the day.

Hey, so you busy tonight?
I'd love to see you.

Yeah, I'd love to see you too.

There's something
I need to talk to you about.

I could swing by after work.

Great.
I'll see you then.

- I wanna strangle her.
- Yeah, I know the feeling.

But sometimes we need
to restrain ourselves.

So if she's convicted
of a contract killing,

that's the death penalty,
right?

Look, Julian,
we just need the phone, okay?

When you go in there,
you see it,

if you can grab it, great.
If not...

I want her
to look me in the eye

and confess to killing Vivian.

Listen, you're not
a professional, okay?

Just focus on the phone.
Then why am I wearing a wire?

Because that's how
a sting works.

Do you have a problem with me?

Nah, man.

You're the coolest guy ever.

Audrey Cruz is dangerous.

The wire
is for your protection.

Good to know you have my back.

I'm worried about you, darling.

I wish you'd talk to me.

You've been through so many
emotional traumas.

Can we pick one
and talk about it?

I miss Vivian.

Wish I could just have...

Five minutes with her.

Mom?

Excuse me for just a minute.

Wyatt, what are you doing here?

Are you surprised to see me

after you planted
that bag of dope?

What are you talking about?

Okay, we'll pretend...

And lucky for me, your friend
Haverstock pulled some strings.

Yeah?

I told you I'm fine.

But how can you be fine?

Have you spoken to your father?

Not yet.

- I'm getting on a plane.
- No. Why?

Because you need somebody
in your corner.

Honey, you're gonna go over
to your father's house

and fall on the sword,
and he's gonna twist it.

Maybe I deserve that.

I don't like the way
that sounds.

Sam, I'm fine.

Stay where you are.

He can't do anything to me.

I love you.

I love you too.

Crap.

- Joanna.
- Don't hang up.

Why would Audrey kill Vivian?

Look, what are you doing?

Just give Robert
your two weeks' notice

and head back to San Francisco.

Listen, I know you don't
wanna talk to me right now,

but just hear me out.

If Vivian was the messenger
in Audrey's plan,

why would she kill her?

'Cause the plan backfired.

Vivian found out
she was being used?

Maybe Remy Colville told her.

Look, how about I just ask
Audrey when she's in the box?

I get a lot of requests
for this room.

People are really weird
like that.

Here it is.

This is where
Vivian Bowers died.

She used to come here
all the time

when she was on a bender.

I'll leave you to it.

You know I love you, right?

Dude, is this emo overload

like a side effect
of your sobriety?

You are such a smartass.

I get it from you.

Hey, sweet thing.

We're having a little soiree
down the hall.

You wanna join us?

Sure.

You have really nice hands,

little doll hands.

How old are you?
21.

Wow.

Me too.

That's awesome.

Um, you... mm?

What is this?

Heroin.
Like, Taliban-grade.

Excuse me.
Sorry.

Hi.

You okay?

Is my dad being a jerk again?

Well, he's on the warpath,
that's for sure.

Well, he might be getting
some good news real soon.

Really?
What?

I will tell you all about it
tonight, I promise.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Hello?

What?
Okay, okay.

Don't move, don't move.
I'm on my way.

Why the gloomy snout, Jane?

You're in billable
territory here.

We have to make a formal
announcement about your illness.

I just got off the phone
with the chief of staff.

Why do bad things happen
to good people?

Come on, Dwight.

You have to put
your estate in order.

Everything goes to Mia Bowers.

Sofia.

You let Wyatt out.

I told you, if I didn't get
what I wanted,

I would get him paroled.

I'm a man of my word.
Put him back!

What? Who am I?
The cat in the hat?

He is not thing one
and thing two.

I can't just put him back
in a box.

You know what,
maybe we should wait

just to see if he does
any violence to you.

You're the worst man
in the world.

No, that's your husband.

You know, I'd love to talk
to you about this for hours,

but I'm kind of busy
planning my death.

Beverly, it's Robert.

I was hoping
I could take you to lunch.

What are you reading?
Just a romance.

Terry McMillan.

Living vicariously, I see.

You never did have a man
in your life, did you, Beverly?

What do you want, Robert?

I want to know
what your daughter

is really doing here.

I'm not sure I follow.

We could do this,
or I could remind you

of the part you played
in the first Mrs. Bowers' death.

You could still go
to prison, you know.

I have Alzheimer's, Robert.

In six months, I may not
even know my name.

Do you think I'll really
give a crap where I am?

You know, I always wondered

what it must've felt like
for you

living with Catherine's death
on your hands.

I certainly didn't have
the strength

to be the one to do it.

Oh, but you sure did profit
from it, didn't you?

If her family ever catches wind
of anything,

it could be very bad for you.

Her sister still sends me
Christmas cards, you know?

How nice.

Edward is waiting for you, sir.

You'd better go.

Nothing's more important
than family.

Isn't that what you always say?

Why didn't the FBI
tell me about this?

I didn't wanna tip off
Audrey and Frank.

And, yet, here you are.

Seems they made
the same mistake I did.

Hmm.

Your sister...
does the FBI believe

Audrey had her killed too?

Yeah.

Look, don't do
this Kirschner-Sims merger.

Wait this thing out.

Of course I'm not merging
with Kirschner-Sims.

I didn't get where I am

by believing every stupid thing
people say.

Well, I was just trying
to keep you in the loop.

Excuse me, Edward,
did you just think

I was going to welcome you back
into the family?

No, I figured you'd be a dick
about it.

Wanna hear me say, "I'm sorry"?

I am sorry.

I was wrong.

You ruined my reputation,

and you nearly destroyed
my company,

and you come in here
with "I'm sorry"?

Well, I'm sorry, dad.

I don't know what to say.
I worked with you for 20 years.

Wasn't too hard to believe.

So I'm the bad guy.

Edward, I have something
for you.

What is it?

You know what this is.

I got it from Haverstock.

So, here.

Wear it around your neck...

Murderer.

You're the bad guy, Edward,
not me.

You always have been.

Hey, get off of her!
Get off of her.

- Hey, you want in on this?
- Hey!

No, I decided to stay.

Come on.

Hey, wait, she decided to stay.

Hey!

She's 16!
And you're disgusting.

You know what?
I'm keeping this, pervert.

If you try anything,
you touch another young girl,

I know where you live.

Let's go.

Hey, let me call you back.

Can you call before coming by?

Is that too much to ask?

I have another solve for you.

Kimberly Yaeger.

That's the murder weapon.

My father made a deal
and suppressed the evidence.

I found out about it
a couple weeks ago.

- You been drinking?
- Yeah.

I've got a couple scotches
in me.

So what?

Look, if you turn this in,
I have to put you into custody.

You know that, right?
I'm a lawyer.

You don't have to explain
the law to me.

NYPD is gonna party
like it's new year's Eve.

I know.

You can kiss a fair trial
good-bye, Edward.

I know.
Look...

Are you gonna arrest me or do I
have to hit you with it?

This is who I am, will.

Let's go.

Turn around.

Let's go.

- All right.
- Oh.

Here, drink some water.

Thank you.

Not fun to be you right now.

So is this about Kyle?

What happened today?

I went to go see
Vivian's shrink,

and he told me
that I was an angry person

which really pissed me off...

So then I accidentally
did heroin.

I thought it was coke.

As I say that, I realize

that it's not
a very good excuse, but...

Vivian had a shrink?

Yeah, Dr. Redsor.

That should've been
my first clue.

God, I wish
I could talk to her.

What would you ask her?

Just say it.

Um...

Should I let Haverstock die?

Or should I give him
my bone marrow?

Is he a bad guy,
or did she really love him?

And how bad does someone have
to be in order to let them die?

I just want her
to tell me what to do.

I'll tell you what she'd say.

Give him the bone marrow.

Save his life...

And then don't ever think
about him again.

How do you know?

Because she'd see
that it's eating you alive.

You're a good person, Mia.

Just do it and don't look back.

It's not a hard decision.

I'm glad you're here.

Hey, I think
you might've lost this

in the wine cellar.

Oh, no.
This was Vivian's.

She bought this after she'd been
clean for 30 days.

She was really proud.

Mr. Bowers.

Hi, Detective Gabe...
Denton, yes.

Yes, I know.
Where's agent Moreno?

Special agent Moreno
is busy at the moment.

Oh, I see.
Well, maybe you can help me.

- Okay.
- I asked about you.

Lieutenant Brauch speaks
very highly of your work,

the geiger case in particular.

You've made quite a name
for yourself,

impressed all the right people.

Well, you don't make
Detective this young

sitting on your hands.

No, you don't.

Listen, is there a place
we could speak privately?

Um, yeah, sure.

Doctor-patient confidentiality

doesn't hold
after a patient's death.

You know that.

So why didn't
you contact the police

after she was murdered?

Can you imagine
how my clients would feel

if I just handed over
their private sessions?

Those DVDs are
a firsthand account

of her life before she died.

So you can give them to me now,

or I can drag you
in front of a grand jury.

Of course I was going
to hand them over.

I was just...

I was just waiting
for my book deal to close.

- Hey, you!
- Audrey Cruz, right?

I'm Nichole.

I'm doing an expose
on the whole Lyritrol thing.

Bowers cancer drug,
killed a bunch of people?

What a sick apartment.

Does Kirschner-Sims pay
for this?

Man, I picked the wrong career.

Just stop.
Who are you again?

Sorry.
Nichole Frishette, writer.

Used to work
with Remy Colville.

Did he ever interview you?
No.

Well, Remy was working
on this Lyritrol story

until he got murdered.

Seemed to think
there was something more to it

than just bad test results.

Really?
Like, what?

I'm not sure exactly.

I was hoping
your Kirschner-Sims perspective

might help me figure it out.

Do you mind answering a few
questions about Frank Drexler?

Sure.

Hey there, gorgeous.

I planted the heroin.

Uhhuh.

I was afraid of what might
happen if you got out.

Guess we're finding out
right now.

I'm not leaving my family.

I can't.

I don't want to.

Here's the...

here's the money
I was saving for us.

$3 million.

Take it.

I followed you
in the papers, Sofia.

All that money?

I knew it'd be hard to give up.

I just...

Never thought you'd turn on me
like you did.

Yeah, I was wrong.

I regret it.

Start a new life, Wyatt.

I read that you named
your daughter Mia...

And that was the name
that we had picked out

for our little girl.

It would've all been different.

Would it?

You think if your daddy hadn't
have beat that baby out of you,

you'd be satisfied
living in a tract home?

Or you really think
that you could live like that?

I don't know.

But I know I loved you.

That I do know.

Hi.

Hi, kid.

You don't look good.

- An evaporating gene pool.
- Yeah.

So I'm gonna give you
my bone marrow.

You're g...

oh, my God.
I'm overwhelmed.

Well, I'm not doing it
because I love you

or because I think
that your life is so important

that the earth will perish
if it ends.

I'm doing it
because I can't imagine

going through
the rest of my life

knowing that I could've saved
another human being,

anyone, and didn't.

So...

Oh, but I'm gonna wait
a couple days

'cause I accidentally
did heroin today.

Mia.

You are a pure soul.

Maybe I get it from Vivian.

Huh.

I dreamt that I brought

Justin Timberlake home
for dinner

because we're writing
a children's book together.

Don't laugh.

Maybe it means something.

How was your week?

Good.
I feel strong.

And I'm going to a meeting
every day

like a good
little 12-stepper.

I totally forgot
you were coming over.

How about we go out?

Crap, Richie Rich
might not even get in the door.

Come on, Julian.
Get inside.

Come on.
I'll buy you a drink.

- Let's just stay in.
- Okay, one drink.

Then have to finish packing.

Where are you going?

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

Everything's been so crazy.

I need to get away.
Where to?

Morocco.
You wanna come?

So she kills his sister

then she takes him
on an island vacation?

Morocco's not an island.

I'm not really sure
this is the best time

for me to be leaving
the country.

Oh, it's the perfect time.

Everything's fallen apart here.

Let's get away, see if we really
have something together.

Are you bleeding?

I must've sliced my hand
cutting those limes.

Julian.

Julian, Julian, wait.
There's...

stop.
It's nothing.

It's not what you think.

Please.
What's in there, Audrey?

Julian, you have
to trust me on this.

Julian, don't!

Who is she?
What the hell did you do?

You don't understand.

This whole thing has spun
so out of control.

- We gotta go.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on a second.
She's about to confess.

She's about to kill his ass!

Julian, I know it looks bad,
but it was self-defense.

What about Vivian and Ben?

I couldn't risk him
exposing me.

I would have been...

- how many people did you kill?
- Oh, God!

This whole thing got
out of hand.

No one was supposed to die.

We have to get her
to a hospital now.

Of course, whatever she needs.

Aah!

- You killed my sister!
- Julian!

Julian!

Julian, come on!
It's not worth it!

Come on!

Gun!

Gabe!

She was going for her gun.

Gun?
What gun, Gabe?

Blowing the whistle
on Lyritrol,

severing all these ties...

it's just scary.

What are you scared of, Vivian?

Just say it.

There's nothing here.

The thing
that I'm most afraid of

is telling Haverstock
that it's over.

I didn't know, I...

she's your murderer.

What are you thinking, Vivian?

Sometimes I think he'd kill me

before he'd let me go.

Heard you needed some money
on your books, Eddie.

So your brother's
a little banged up,

but he's gonna be fine.

Audrey Cruz,
on the other hand, is dead.

We got everything we needed
from her computer.

But that's not really
why I'm here.

There were no fingerprints
on that golf club, Eddie.

There was some blood residue,

but it wasn't
Kimberly Yaeger's blood.

It was animal blood.

So whoever told you
that that golf club

proved that you were
a murderer, they lied.

I don't know what happened
that night,

and neither do you.

There were over 200 people
at that party,

so put it behind you, man.

Come on. Go home.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself, Eddie.

You better be at the airport.

Vivian was still seeing
Haverstock when she died.

Joanna, don't do this.

Look, I'm watching
her therapy sessions right now.

Her shrink taped them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, where'd
you get your hands on those?

Haverstock knew about Ben,
about their kid.

He knew that Vivian was in love
with somebody else.

- I don't care.
- Okay, all I'm saying is

maybe Haverstock killed Vivian

because he knew that she was
gonna leave him for Ben.

Joanna, Audrey Cruz confessed.
It's on the wire.

We got it.
It's done.

Okay, but did she say Vivian?

Did she confess
to killing Vivian?

I'm closing the case, Joanna.

- Will, answer the question!
- Joanna...

did Audrey Cruz confess
to killing Vivian Bowers?

Just go home.

Moreno, every news outfit
is trying to find you.

You just closed a career case,
you lucky bastard.

Hey.
Dwight.

Ed.
What's on your mind?

Where to begin?

Well, I handed over that
golf club you gave my father,

and I turned myself in for
the murder of Kimberly Yaeger.

Look at you going all-in.

Yeah, I was ready
to pay for my crime.

Ha.

Want a drink?
No.

Turns out my fingerprints
weren't on it.

And the blood residue?

From an animal.

Well, that must be
a burden lifted.

Yeah, what'd you do,
club a raccoon to death?

All right, look,
I had to protect myself.

That doesn't mean
you didn't do it.

Can you imagine
what my sister's life

would've been like
if she'd been allowed

to talk about what happened
between you two?

If you hadn't used me
to blackmail my father?

Now, listen, look.
I have leukemia.

Yeah, you've got
bigger problems than that.

Aah!

Aah!

Press charges.

I dare you.

Is the reporter gonna be okay?

Yeah. May even win a pulitzer
out of the whole thing.

I just can't believe
it was her that killed Vivian.

How did I let her into my life?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Well, at least the other piece
of good news is

I think I can trust
my father again.

For a minute there, he was
looking like a pretty dark dude.

She's dead?

Yup.

If Audrey killed my daughter,
I'd want her dead too.

I have to ask...

How did I know
you wouldn't arrest me

for soliciting a murder
for hire?

Yeah, that.

An even money bet.

Either you'd share
my vision of justice...

Or not.
