Goliath (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Fer-De-Lance - full transcript

Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe I will sell this house.

I already told you what I think.

Mm...

Yeah, Denise needs a place
to come home to.

Yeah. A break from life
in the dorm would be good.

That's true.

How about you?

Is this the kind of house
you'd like to come home to?

Hey, guys.

- Hey, honey.
- Hey. -What's going on?

We're just hanging on the porch.



Yeah. Why?

It's nice here.

You guys want to stay
for dinner?

- Well, it's my house.
- Barely.

We'd love to.

- Cool.
- Thanks, honey.

You didn't answer my question.

Yes.

Fuck her, Dad.

And this house.

Oh, my God.

What?

What's up with the bathroom?

- What do you mean?
- Well,



the daily affirmation
on your wall is terrifying.

Uh, not to mention the party
that is in your trash can.

So how worried
do I need to be about you?

No more than usual.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Okay, 'cause you've been
hiding out here for weeks.

I'm not hiding out, I'm working.

- You're working?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Okay. Uh, yeah, so let's work.

So, to review,

basically we need the Blackwoods
to turn on each other.

- Right.
- We need Wade

to tell us who was
at that meeting.

Uh, we need him to name names
on the record.

- You got that? Yeah.
- Yeah. I got it.

Okay. Uh, who signed the NDAs,

- and what they got in return, yeah?
- Yeah. That's it.

Okay.

Just so you know, I'm fine.

Fine.

No, seriously, I'm okay.

Seriously,
I'm agreeing with you.

- Yeah, okay, fine.
- Well, fine.

The state of California
contacted us.

So they approached you?

They were certainly aware
of screwing us

out of our water contract
during a drought.

So your ice cream cone melted
on a hot summer day,

and the state of California
offered to buy you a new one.

- Objection.
- Why?

- What's the question?
- What flavor did you get?

All 31.

For the record,

my client answered in jest.
He did not receive

ice cream
from the state of California.

So if the state of California
called the meeting,

what did they get out of it?

I want to have
this fucking house.

You know what?
I want these fucking friends.

I... you know,
I want to be you, dude.

But I don't want to work for it.

- I thought you wanted to be senator.
- No, dude.

The state of California was
trying to avoid a lawsuit.

So you threatened
to sue the state?

Well, the state was
in breach of contract.

I would die in the water
department as long as I know

- I could be fucking rich.
- Hmm.

What if I could
make that happen?

Okay, to clarify, the farmers...

You... were outraged
that the state of California

was gonna take care
of its residents,

provide them with water
over you,

so you couldn't
turn a quick buck.

Objection. Characterization.

Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm wrong about that?

A contract is a contract.
We've provided you

with said contract. Exhibit 14.

The state was
contractually bound

to deliver Mr. Blackwood's
allotment of water,

and they chose
not to honor the contract.

I pay a shitload of money,
they give me water, period,

and they fucked me over.

Next question.

Your sister's interesting.

- Objection. Off-topic.
- Not really.

She's an integral part
of your business, right?

Very.

Why are you giving up?

I'm not.

It's just, sometimes I win,
sometimes Mother Nature wins.

I don't accept that.

Well, you're gonna have
a tough time being a farmer.

I'm not a farmer. I never was.

And you can control
more than you realize.

Not this time.

Try me.

She wears the pants?

These days,
women can vote and everything.

So, Diana has a vote
in all your business matters.

No.

- Gentlemen.
- Wow.

These chairs seem
a little tired.

I can talk to Maria about

- switching them out, maybe...
- The fuck is this?

- New blood.
- More like cement shoes.

Roy,
it's always a roll of the dice.

Hey, Uncle Roy,
I promise not to tell.

Anybody about
your secret clubhouse.

Pinky swear.

- You're not gonna play?
- No.

Right...

Love, it is a flower,

and you, its only seed.

Well... I'm an artist.

I bring an artistic sense
to the company.

That's cool, um,
but your title is CEO

of the Blackwood Almond Company.

- That's correct.
- Great. So, as CEO,

you must have
a working knowledge

of the business side
of your company.

- It's not my company.
- Okay, your brother's company.

- That's correct.
- Mm-hmm.

Are you gonna
answer the question?

There was no question.

Here's the question.

Um, is it your contention,
as chief executive officer

of the Blackwood Almond Company,
that have no direct knowledge

of the business side
of your brother's company?

- That's correct.
- Okay. Can you elaborate?

- About...?
- Mm... Oh, my God.

Uh, can you be more specific

in regards to what you do know
about your brother's company?

Objection. Vague.

Everything that's coming out
of her mouth is vague.

Everything that comes out of

your associate's mouth is vague.

Uh, so do you know that
your brother is stealing water

- from the residents of Blackwood County?
- Objection.

- What? Was that too specific?
- Too loaded.

Maybe if you'd learn
how to ask a proper question,

- we'd be done by now.
- This is exhausting.

- I can't.
- Well, if you're exhausted,

dear, maybe you should lie down.

Oh, I'm good.

Remember, stress
doesn't only affect you.

- Excuse me?
- Ms. Blackwood,

as CEO
of the Blackwood Almond Company,

would your artistic touch
include trying to convince

the general public
that your brother stealing

the county's water
is aboveboard?

What, is there something funny
about that?

That's absurd. No, it does not.

We need to take control of
the water bank from the state.

Yes.

Why stop there?

Let's take control
of the Pacific Ocean, too.

Roy, hey.

Hey. Hey, Roy?

Roy!

- Roy? Hey!
- We don't need him.

Actually, we do.

I don't know how we're gonna get
there, but I love this idea.

- You do?
- Yes.

- Eh, they keep screwing us over.
- Fuck yes, they do.

- Fuck the state!
- And I know how we're gonna get there.

If the state of California
approached you

about this meeting, why
Big Sur? Why not Sacramento?

Better view?

Or away from the prying eyes
of the state government, maybe?

Or maybe it was 'cause it was
halfway between us and them.

You think
that's what they were thinking?

If the state was diverting
the ranchers' water

during this drought to the
residents of Los Angeles County,

wouldn't they need the
Metropolitan Water District

of Southern California
in on any negotiations?

Wow, that's way
above my pay grade.

Well, you didn't
answer the question.

Well, all I know is that
our contract is with the state.

Well, wouldn't any deal with
the Blackwood County water bank

and the state of California

need L.A. Metro's approval?

You will have to get
L.A. Metro on board.

Done, dude.

How?

My lucky charm.

The less you know, the less
that's required of you.

Where was the L.A. Metro
water guy in all this?

My client is not responsible

for the Metropolitan
Water District

of Southern California.

If you have questions for them,

I suggest
you depose them instead.

Well, that would be great
if I knew who they were.

Can you give me a name?

Councilwoman.

Diana...

So L.A. Metro wasn't
part of the deal?

Oh, it's my understanding

that L.A. has its own contract
with the state.

Remind me, are you still cozy

with the L.A. Metro
Water District?

I am. Yeah.

We should talk about
your future.

Oh, I'm all yours.

Was the settlement made public?

I'm the public.

I knew about it.

Well, see, that's the problem.
You are the public.

And you effectively privatized
a public resource

for your own personal gain.

Huh.

I don't see it that way.

Well, I bet the people
in Blackwood County

who don't have any water
might see it that way.

Nobody's ever complained
to me about it.

Really? I'm the first one?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

Mm, hopefully the last.

What if the people in L.A.
find out that their water's

the next to go?

Your guess is as good as mine,

because I don't have anything
to do with L.A.

Hey, Tom.

Diana, look at you.

Still sipping from
the fountain of youth, I see.

You lay it on so thick.
Never change.

Well, Tom Wyatt is who he is,
my dear.

- And I count on it. Hey...
- Mm, who's this?

She is the next mayor
of Los Angeles.

- Oh...
- Tom Wyatt, Councilwoman Marisol Silva.

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- I've heard so much about you.

Well, there's a lot to know.

Well, I think you both
could benefit

quite a lot from
knowing each other.

- Really?
- I do.

Come here.

It's okay.
It's okay, he doesn't bite.

I'll show you mine
if you show me yours?

- If you can handle it.
- Yeah!

Oh, I see, well...

with both arms tied
behind my back, my dear.

Okay. I think my work here
is done.

It is done. Good-bye. Get!

Who decided to cut
the Blackwood County residents'

water off in favor
of the farmers?

- No one.
- Hmm.

Isn't it the Blackwood County
Water Board's job

to decide how much water
is apportioned

to residential
and commercial use?

Yes.

So this decision was made
by no one,

and yet somehow it happened.

No one cut off
the residents' water.

The residents ran out
of their allotment,

and the board decided
not to extend their allotment.

In fact, the board
even warned the residents

not to be wasteful
during a drought.

Now, what the residents did
with their allotment of water

was not under our control,

and that is standard procedure.

That was good.

That's your best answer yet.
Did you write that for him?

Please direct your questions
to the deposed.

Yes, ma'am.

So, if this Big Sur meeting
was about the renegotiation

of a public contract,
why the NDAs?

What NDAs?

The ones you told me about.

Oh, you remembered that?

I guess I'm not
as smart as I thought.

Okay, I'll ask
the question again.

Why the NDAs?

What are the NDAs
keeping so secret?

No need to answer that.

Mr. McBride, you know the point
of the NDA is not to disclose

information they're protecting.

And "secret" is
a very childish word.

We're adults.

- Can't hurt to ask.
- Well, hey,

you got lucky once.

Hmm?

So, here's a question.

Who holds the privilege
to the NDAs?

I believe that the Central
Valley Tallgrass Farming Company

holds that privilege.

Tallgrass Farming Company,
which is you.

Indeed. I guess I am
smarter than I thought.

Mm.

Okay, so, since you hold
the privilege,

you can tell me anything
you want to tell me.

- Yes. That's how it works.
- Right.

So, what do you want to tell me?

As little as legally possible.

Hey.

- Big day.
- Big day.

Mr. Kernen?

Mr. McBride,

my client will not
answer any questions

that violate the NDAs.

Well, your client's
not prohibited

to answer questions
about the NDAs,

'cause he holds the privilege.

As a matter of fact,
in this deposition,

he's legally obligated to answer
any question I ask him.

As the person that holds
the privilege of the NDAs,

my client is choosing not
to answer any more questions

until a judge
tells us otherwise.

- I'm gonna take you up on that.
- Good luck with that.

Okay...

Hey, let's take a picture.

Yeah, we need to run,
'cause we have a meeting,

but... we'll let you celebrate
correctly.

Yes. Mwah! Thank you.

Over by the fireplace,
let's go, come on.

- Bye.
- Okay, by my count,

you, Roy Wheeler,
Warren Hebb, Gerry Kernen,

and a state water guy
were at the Big Sur meeting.

- Who else was in the room?
- That's covered by the NDA.

Next question.

Get that guy in the middle.

Put the rose between the thorns.

Hey, Uncle Roy,
I want to see a smile.

Then give me something
to smile about.

Oh, come on,
the price of your land

just went through
the fucking roof.

- Fucking roof, man.
- Fake it.

- All right, here we go. Yeah!
- Government cheese.

There you go. More smi...

All right, that's as good
as we're gonna get.

We're done. We're done.

Hey, hey, hey.

You know these documents

are worth more than your life,
right?

- Understood.
- Okay.

Thanks, Delores.

Don't think it's lost on me

your sister didn't sign an NDA.

Oh, worry, worry, worry.

You worry too much. Ooh!

Little help?

Oh, hey, kid. Do me a favor.

Put a bottle of water on there
for the lady.

I got a hernia.
You want to see it?

Appreciate it.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

My hero.

Hmm.

So, uh...
Bobbi Bennett mentioned you.

Really?

Yeah? How'd you know Bobbi?

Well, I like to know the owners
of all the local vineyards.

Anyway, Bobbi said that
you were very interesting.

- Interesting?
- Yep.

Well, better than nothing,
I guess.

Hey, look, I've done a lot
of cases like your brother's

when I was on the other side
of the table.

He's gonna do whatever he can
to save himself.

More than likely blame you.

- Wade wouldn't do that.
- Really?

I've seen it a million times.

Well, I...
I know you're suspicious

of loving, functional
relationships.

Marisol Silva
also mentioned you.

You got to be shittin' me.

- Billy.
- Donnie.

Maybe a shade brighter for you?

Hmm.

You seem to have a special
relationship with your sister,

but it hasn't always
been that way, has it?

Objection. Relevance.

Well, they're partners
in business.

I think
their relationship's relevant.

- Mr. McBride...
- No, it's o... it's... it's all right.

Look... I know I'm a lucky man.

And safe to say
the luckiest thing

that ever happened to me

was Diana coming home.

Uh, SpongeBob?

Oh, Squidward, it's terrible...

Well, Squidward is actually
being nice for a change.

Hi, everyone.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, Trina. Whew!

You can hug your mom.

But no hugs in white clothes,
you said.

Yeah, my hands are dirty.

Mommy doesn't care
about that today.

Come here, come here.

Hey.

I had a really, really good day.

Congratulations, Mom.

- Who wants ice cream?
- We do!

Hey, you left me out, man.

All right, so we're
almost there. What kind

- of ice cream are you gonna get?
- Cookies and cream.

No, it's always
cookies and cream.

- It's the best one.
- You show me... oh.

- It's the best.
- It's our favorite.

It's gre... all right.

Wait, wait, hold on.
Hey, hey, Robert.

Hi, yeah. I've been thinking
about our meeting.

My brain is just
exploding with ideas.

Oh, Mom, can we get
In-N-Out, too?

Uh... Yes, but...

Sorry about that. Uh, I'm back.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Uh, can I, can I,
can I ask you why?

Was it, was it my fee?
Because, I mean,

that's not set...

First of all, you're a copycat.

- Oh.
- And second of all, that's so not true.

You know what, Robert,
it's, it's...

it's totally fine.

Oh, yeah, I'm so busy
with my other clients that, um,

it's, it's probably...
it's-it's for the best.

So... yeah, yeah.

Good luck to you, too.

Okay.

- You're crazy.
- You're crazy.

- You're being unfactual, bro.
- Stop it, Anton.

You stop it.
Mom, tell him to stop. Gosh.

- Mom?
- Mom?

Mom?

- Mom? Mom!
- Mom!

Mom, don't! Mom!

Been looking for you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Little birdie told me
that sometimes you...

take meetings here.

So?

Can I sit down?

I heard about what happened.

The accident.

Everything in front of me
just went black.

I just, I couldn't see
a way out, and we went

over the bridge into the river.

- Jesus, Jesus.
- One of my sons lost his hearing

- from an infection, and it was all my fault.
- Oh, Jesus.

Hey, hey,
don't you talk that way.

Don't you even think that way.

The darkness...

everything going black,
that's not your fault.

You've been fighting that
for a very long time.

- I just got tired.
- Hmm-mm.

It'd been hard for so long
with the boys,

with work, I... I just let go.

Hmm. I get it.

I get it.

Enough about my sad news.

- What about you?
- Uh... Natalie left me.

Who's Natalie?

- She's my second wife.
- Oh, shit!

She left after
I lost all my money.

- Oh, no.
- Yeah, what do you know? Uh...

good riddance to both of them.

She didn't deserve
a cent of it anyway.

- So you're, you're broke?
- I sunk all my chips

into this, uh,
coastal investment,

and, uh...

it hit the skids
when this oil rig blew up.

Didn't see that coming.

Ah.

But, uh, still got the land.

And the orchards.

That's all I need.

Just like Dad.

I'm not sorry he's dead.

I can see that now.

So what are you gonna do now?

Now that I'm broke?

Yeah.

Maybe you could help.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

- You need me.
- Always did.

You need my ideas.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe it's time...

for you to take a seat
at the table.

Oh, I'm sure those boys
would love that.

Fuck 'em.

Hmm.

Okay, so I want
to run through this list

of companies that are owed
water allotments

by the Blackwood County Water Board.
Mm-hmm.

So, uh, if you could just tell
me who owns each one as I go.

- All right?
- Sure. Shoot.

- Uh, Tallgrass Farming Company.
- Me.

- Okay. Blackwood Almond Company.
- That's me.

- Hickory Hill Farms.
- Roy Wheeler.

Now Stephanie Littlecrow,
I guess. Yeah.

G.K. Farms.

Uh, Gerry Kernen.

- Second Avenue Partners.
- Gerry Kernen.

- Red Gravel Industries.
- Me.

- Abbot & Archer, Incorporated.
- Warren Hebb.

I'm noticing a lot
of repeated names here.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

It seems the same four people
who operate the water board

are allotted 99% of the water.

- How does that work?
- Works great.

And it's not against the law.

Hmm. Okay.

There's another company on here

that's allotted a 0% share
of the water,

called Fer-de-Lance,
Incorporated.

Who owns that company?

- Um... say again?
- I think I'm saying it right.

- Fer-de-Lance?
- Fer-de-Lance. Fer. De. Lance.

You don't know
who owns Fer-de-Lance?

Not off-hand, no.

Hmm. That surprises me.

Me, too.

Won't you just cut
the Laurel and Hardy bullshit

- and tell me who owns it?
- Oh, I-I don't want

to get in the middle
of a family squabble, Wade.

What's that supposed
to fucking mean?

Well, maybe your sister
knows something about it.

You'd have to ask her.

Fer-de-Lance, Inc.

Does that company
sound familiar?

- Nope.
- Mm, well, that makes sense.

Because a lot of work went into
keeping the owner anonymous.

Uh, I would like to enter
Exhibit 15 into evidence.

I don't have a copy of that.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Here you go, dum-dum.

Um, would you please
take a look at Exhibit 15

and tell me what that is?

- It looks like a check.
- Sure does.

From...?

Fer-de-Lance, Inc.

Does that jog your memory?

No.

Okay, so we looked into it

and we found
the registered agent

for service of process
is named Rochelle Purple.

Does that name mean
anything to you?

No, but you see,
Becky Zimmerman,

she didn't listen.

I said,
"Becky, I am telling you,

"there is no column
for True Love in QuickBooks.

"Okay, you need
a contingency plan

and a phone tap."

And she said, "Oh, no",

Alan would always
take care of me."

So Alan fucks the babysitter.

Right? Which is just

the most cliché thing you could
ever do, and then I have

Becky sobbing
on the phone to me,

"What am I gonna do, Rochelle?
I'm broke."

And I said,
"You know what, Becky?

"Build a fucking time machine
and listen

to all the advice I gave you
five years ago."

- You did not say that.
- Well, I didn't say it out loud.

But I was thinking it.
I just... I can't be

mean to Becky
because she's so pathetic.

So pathetic.

Are you worried
about Wade cutting you out

of the family fortune?

- No.
- Honey,

he cut you out once,
he could cut you out again.

I mean, you know
what they say about

- past behavior.
- He didn't cut me out.

- That was Dad.
- Okay, well, either way, you got fucked.

And that cannot happen again.

Wade won't let it.

Let's do this.

What if I set you up
with something discreet?

And Wade would never know
about it,

it could be like
a safety net for you.

He hasn't always had your back.

D-Did you ask my brother
about this?

Actually, we ask the questions.

- Right.
- That's how a deposition works, yeah.

Any more questions, Mr. McBride?

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, no more questions.

Nope, 'cause we have,
like, 20...

- Great, so we're done.
- No more questions.

- Are we... are we done?
- Yes.

- Oh. Okay.
- Nope, not quite.

We're done.

After you.

I mean, why didn't you
keep pressing?

You had her.

Well, I'm... hoping
we made her nervous enough

to, you know,
fuck up and help us out.

- That's why.
- I hope so.

- Yeah.
- Oh.

I forgot to tell you.
Uh, Fer-de-Lance.

- Fer-de-Lance. The Fer-de-Lance?
- Right.

- Yeah.
- You know what that is?

- One of the Three Musketeers?
- No. Nope.

It's, uh, it's a snake.
I googled it.

- Oh. Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

Oh, shit. What time is it?
I got to get...

- Fucking late.
- Mm-hmm. Also.

- Yeah?
- Yep.

Oh, there it is.

Thank you. Thanks.

Hey, this is Billy.
Leave a message.

Ms. Gold. We're ready for you.

Okay.

In the Borns Tech trial,

you said under oath
that Mr. McBride

ordered you to blackmail
a police officer.

I think... I... I believe...

I may have been mistaken.

Mr. McBride was very clear
on the record

that he never asked me
to do anything of the sort.

He just... he asked me
to handle a situation,

and I misunderstood.

Prostitution
and blackmail are both

crimes of moral turpitude.

Yes, I know.

I-I'm not sure it was blackmail.

No?

Well, I was under
immense pressure

from opposing counsel
at the time.

I testified as I was told to.

So you're saying you didn't
blackmail the cop,

but you committed
perjury instead?

But I... See, I'm just...
I'm not sure that,

that...
the details of the situation

actually legally
amounted to blackmail.

See... uh... I mean, you-you'd
have to ask Mr. McBride.

We would, but we can't, can we?

Yeah.

It's a shame Mr. McBride
couldn't be here

to speak on your behalf.

I mean, he's just been
in depositions all day.

I'm sure he's just running late.

What happened during the course

of the Borns Tech trial goes
directly to the heart

of what you would be like
as an attorney.

It involves how you dealt
with a witness

during the course of a case.

Did you have sex with
a police officer and film it

for the sole purpose
of using it against him?

Yes.

Thank you, Ms. Gold.
That'll be all.

We'll let you know our decision.

- No, hang on just a sec.
- That's it?

- Yes, that's it.
- Uh, hang on.

I-I'm sorry. I-I had
a deposition go really late.

- The hearing's closed, Mr. McBride.
- No, I understand that,

but, look, just give me
a second, will you?

This woman deserves
your full attention

and every consideration.

We gave her full consideration
for the full 60 minutes.

You guys, there's no law that
says you got to get out of here

right now. You know that.
Hey, how are you?

- Hi.
- Billy McBride. What's your name?

- Ms. Kwok.
- Okay.

Hi. How you doing? Pleasure.

Have you had a few to drink
today, Mr. McBride?

That's none of your business.
That's not what this is about.

This woman right here,
all the things

that I'm sure you're concerned
about, like her record,

are the very things that would
make her a great attorney

because she's been
on the other side, okay?

Sh-She knows what it's like.
I mean, ordinarily,

I-I don't hire defendants...
to work for me.

There's a reason I did.

Because she has experience,
she has empathy, perseverance,

all these things they don't
teach you in law school.

All the intangibles.

I mean, can't we use more humans
in our trade, don't you think?

And I-I've seen her...

I mean, she's stuck with me
through thick and thin.

So, I mean,

can't we kind of loosen up
and not make this some kind of

boardroom meeting,
and-and just be people

with each other for a minute?

We'll let you know.

That's it? "We'll let you know"?

- We're done.
- Come on.

Thank you.

- Hey, honey. Listen, I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.

The deposition
really did go long.

It's fine. You did a great job,
you did a great speech.

- Thanks, Billy.
- I wasn't just fucking around.

It-it just feels like,
somehow, to me,

that... just all the people
in my life are just moving on,

you know? It's like I'm...

I'm just standing here
watch 'em... watching,

you know, move on.

Gee, that's fucking sad.

You know, you're fucked
when you literally see

the writing on the wall.

I always imagined
I was gonna have, like,

a really violent death.

My mother was run over by a bus.

- Huh?
- I'm serious.

- Oh, she was?
- Yes.

Oh. Sorry, that's usually
a joke, you know.

No. I had an uncle,
stabbed 17 times in a 7-Eleven.

And my ex-husband...
he got decapitated

when he was riding
a roller coaster.

- Wha...
- Goddamn it.

Yeah.

My point is that

I've had a lot
of bad luck, right?

But maybe you seeing
your reflection

in mirrors, omen,
or whatever it is,

I mean, maybe it's
a sign that it's,

that it's gonna be painless
or-or peaceful even.

How you figure that?

Well...

Maybe you've
accomplished everything

you're supposed to accomplish
in this life.

I haven't accomplished a fucking
thing as far as I can see.

What are you talking about?

You got a really interesting
job, family.

Well, yeah, daughter, that's it.

I'm your friend.

- I am, you know.
- You sure are.

How's your chicken noodle soup?

Salty.

H-How'd you find me?

Oh, I-I have a-a friend
named Dave who's a...

The truck driver...

He said he got really good
service here from a...

from a really lovely lady,
and...

He said I should stop in
and-and say hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm really glad
I found you. I...

I mean, you vanished,
and it was...

maybe something I had...

I-I just didn't know
what happened.

It's a long story.

I've got time.

Listen, we're gonna get
'em in court, and when we do,

you're never gonna have to worry
about the Blackwoods again.

But we're gonna need your help.

You'd be the unsung hero.

A-And by unsung,
I mean anonymous.

You... your name
will never be attached.

I just took these
to protect myself, that's all.

Yeah. I totally understand.

I'm gonna protect you
from now on.

I give you my word on that.

He will.

Good.

I'm so glad
I found you, Delores.

You know...

You know what I like about you

that I've never told you
before, Diana?

What?

I like it that
you don't need me.

That's not true.

You're the only person
in the world who understands me.

Oh!

I understand you,
all right, Diana.

I hope that you understand...

what it is I'm gonna
have to do to you now.

What's that?

Shh...

You'll see.

Sleep tight.
