In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate

equally important groups.

The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the

offenders. These are their stories.

People accuse you of being ruthless in your investment philosophy, especially

considering... I'm the only one keeping these companies honest.

There's rampant mismanagement and waste in corporate America.

Unearned bonuses, excessive salaries.

When I buy a stake in a company, I become a watchdog.

Some would say a rabid watchdog.

Even better.

But I'm doing it for the little guy.

The cops, the teachers, the nurses, they own publicly traded stocks in their

401ks, in their IRAs.

I keep the fat cats honest, make them justify decisions.

Their compensation. So you consider yourself a public servant?

No, no, no.

I'm a capitalist.

My goal is to make money for me and for all the other shareholders who put their

faith in the hands of executives running publicly traded companies.

Museum of Natural History.

Prosperity. Pushing for change in the name of the greater good.

Big party.

No, no, no. Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

No.

Vic Thomas Hardiman, 53.

What happened?

He was hit by a taxi, 20 .03 hours.

Hit and run? More like hit and cry.

Driver's a blubbery mess.

Said there was an altercation. Vic was shoved in front of the cab.

Did he see who did the shoving?

Nope. Was there a pastor in the taxi? A woman.

She was on the phone. Didn't see anything.

Could the driver give a description?

It was dark. Couldn't even say if it was a man or a woman. All he said was meet

and build, wearing some kind of brown hat, had a decent foot.

Okay. Pull all the Argus footage from the area, and since there was a

have the MLI check for third -party DNA on the Vic. Mm -hmm.

Vic's got his phone here.

And this is a very fancy wallet, so I don't think we're looking at a robbery.

He lives at 1157 57th Street. It's near Billionaire's Row.

Got a wedding ring.

Let's go deliver the news.

Till death do us part.

It would be helpful to know where your husband was this evening, who he was

seeing? Uh, I wish I could help.

Tom and I have been separated about three months now.

Do you know what he was doing in the neighborhood where he was killed, West

Street? Oh, that's by the Harvard Club.

Tom went there most nights around 8 or so.

And did your husband have any enemies, anyone who might have threatened him?

Do you know who Tom was?

What he did?

Well, his business card just said that he ran Broadchurch Investment Fund.

Tom wasn't just any investor.

He was an activist investor.

What does that mean?

He buys a big stake, tells them not so nicely what they're doing wrong, how to

run their company.

Used to call those guys corporate raiders.

So, made money, not friends.

Exactly.

How about recently? Did he get into it with anyone in particular?

I have not kept up on his date today.

His girlfriend might know.

His girlfriend?

Some professor up at Hudson.

I don't have a name.

Sometimes it's better not to know.

And what about you?

What were you doing tonight around 8 p .m.? I was at my book club.

Ten women married to fund managers. We all have a lot of downtime.

Okay, well, we're...

We're going to ask you to send us some names.

Court.

I can't believe he's really gone.

If you think of anything else.

We looked at the university social media. Tom Hardiman was a guest lecturer

your class a few months ago, and I guess you two hit it off.

I never meant to fall in love.

There's no one like Tom.

Fearless thinker in an age of cowardly groupthink.

What's a billionaire investor doing giving a lecture at a college? No

I teach information asymmetry. How knowledge translates into economic

So how were things between you two?

We made each other very happy.

Did you see Hardiman last night?

No. I was stuck on campus meeting with students. You can talk to security.

Was he receiving any threats?

Some people hated him.

or hated the way that he challenged them, challenged their rigid, old

ways. He liked to say he could fill a country with his enemies.

Got any names?

No, he never took them seriously.

We have to get moving.

Okay, well, if you think of anything,

any chance your husband found out about the relationship?

Of course.

I told Mark it's why I filed for divorce.

Nice.

All right, that text I got?

They found third -party DNA under Hardiman's nails and on his jacket.

Any hits in CODIS? Nope, but it's male.

I said we talked to the jilted husband.

Ariana told me she was in love.

Hell, I was glad she told me. Truth is freeing. And if Ariana wants out, that's

her right.

Pretty then for the guy who called Tom Hardiman over a dozen times in the past

week. Look, I want her to sit down with the man, face to face.

That jackass was paying for her divorce lawyer, bankrolling her custody site. If

I'm being ferociously honest, that sounds like motive.

I got nothing to hide.

We met for lunch, and I told Hardiman exactly what I thought of him. Oh,

How'd that go? Things get ugly? They turn physical at all?

They probably would have, but some nut job beat me to it.

What does that mean?

Hardiman was heading for the exit. Some guy comes up, starts grabbing at him,

taking swings, so...

I just watched and enjoyed the show.

Okay, you got an alibi for 8 p .m. last night?

Yeah, I was leading a seminar on the Lower East Side, finding your truth.

You should come sometime.

Hey, so our life coach husband was telling the truth. 62 people were

be ferociously honest for 180 bucks a pop while Tom Hardiman was getting

in front of a cab.

I bet ferocious honesty kills more people per year than cigarettes.

Yeah, and when my wife and I got back together, we had one agreement. No

questions, no confessions about our time apart.

What you don't know can't hurt you, and what you don't say can't be used in a

custody battle.

Hey, so I pulled that video you asked for from the restaurant. Take a look.

There's no match in facial rec, but there was a patch on his jacket.

Okay, let's...

Do a little digging and see if anyone was trashing Hardiman at Mercy Hospital.

Yeah.

A couple posts on social media here. Hashtag Mercy Hospital. Hashtag Tom

Hardiman. This one from Carlos Guzman, who seems to be a nurse.

This one's a gem from a couple days ago.

Tom Hardiman has blood on his hands. Time for retribution.

COO said he worked on the fifth floor?

On Mondays, yeah, he's on the sixth floor the other four days.

Wait a minute, is that our guy right there?

Looks like it.

Carlos Guzman, NYPD, we need to talk to you.

He's gonna ram it.

All right, all right, don't move, don't move.

Don't look so surprised.

Good coming with us.

I told you I got nothing to do with any murder. Sit down, okay?

Sit. You took swings at Tom Hardiman outside of Midtown Beach, and two days

later he's dead.

You understand why we have questions?

What's your beef with the guy anyway?

Why the need for retribution?

Hardeman's Fund, uh... Broadchurch Investments.

They bought a big -ass stake in the hospital chain I work for.

No one told us. It's not like we're reading financial news.

But all of a sudden, there's a new head of hospital.

Then half the trauma ward gets fired.

So he downsized.

Must have ticked you off.

What ticked me off?

Empty supply closets. No pain meds for patients.

No ventilators. The nursing staff couldn't even get protective gear.

And so you wanted him dead.

I wanted to expose him.

People need to know the truth.

That's very noble, but we think there's something more personal.

We happen to know that your mother died at Mercy Hospital two months after

Hardeman took over.

And that would piss me off if I found out that some suits budget cuts led to

mom not getting the care that she needed.

Carlos, where were you last night around 8 p .m.? At the bedside of a 28 -year

-old who died because we didn't have a goddamn ventilator.

Ask his wife, his parents.

We're two young children.

We will look into that.

Whoever offed Tom Hardiman saved lives.

Did good.

Guzman's alibi checks out.

He's kind of a hero over at Mercy, so I think we ought to cut him loose before

that nursing staff storms his place. Okay, do it.

These hedge funds are pillaging our health care system.

We're also going after newspapers, toy companies, anything.

As long as there's a green rainbow at the end. Maybe we should look into some

Hardeman's other investments, see if there's anyone who feels as passionately

Guzman. Well, according to the Wall Street Journal, Hardeman's latest

was Wellpoint Therapeutics.

There's a ton of articles predicting a brutal showdown between Hardiman and

Wellpoint's CEO.

I'm looking at Hardiman's calendar.

The last meeting he had on the day he was killed was at Wellpoint.

Let's go.

I was shocked to hear about Tom. He's such a young man.

You had a meeting with him on the day he was killed?

Yeah, we met right here.

Anything strange about the meeting? Any arguments?

I'll save you from barking up that tree.

Despite the press hoopla about a looming showdown between us, our meeting was

cordial.

Don't believe everything you read. So he wasn't trying to pillage your company?

No. Well, he bought a 24 % stake, got himself a seat on the board, had some

thoughts he wanted to share, asked me for a one -on -one to present his ideas,

and I agreed.

And? And it was a pleasant, productive conversation.

Mr. Munson, your conference call is about to begin.

Ah, yes. Yes. Thank you. I'm sorry. My assistant will see you. Just one last

thing for protocol. Where were you last night at 8 p .m.? I was at home reading

a bedtime story to my grandkids.

We should all be so blessed.

Okay. Thank you.

Munson mentioned that his meeting was a one -on -one.

But in Hardeman's calendar, he mentions that he met with someone else from the

company by the name of Kevin Goodall?

Sure. He's our head of research.

Well, Hardeman wanted it to be just the two of them, but I insisted on

attending. And why is that?

Norm founded this company 40 years ago.

He devoted his time and capital into researching cures for rare diseases,

whereas Tom Hardeman, thank you, is a high -end pickpocket in a Brioni suit,

trying to tell Norman Munson.

who started as a doctor and is one of the pioneers of drug research, how to

his pharmaceutical business?

Huh. Be arrogant.

So, yeah, I wanted to be there.

Sounds like maybe things got a little heated.

No.

No, Norm is a class act.

He refused to take the bait.

Eventually, Hardeman backed off, and the whole thing stayed pleasantly

professional.

Did Hardeman seem distracted or stressed?

I don't know the guy's baseline.

But the meeting was shorter than I would have anticipated.

I thought he would have stuck around and pressed his points.

It took about 30 minutes or so. Then he ran out of here like he had a plane to

catch. What time was that?

6 .30. Do you know where he was going? No, he wasn't the chatty type.

Okay, well, just so we can cross you off the list, where were you last night at

8 p .m.?

I was at home with my wife, telling her what a clown Hardeman is.

Was.

Just got off the phone with Goodall's wife. She confirms he was home at 8, and

Munson's family corroborates his version of events.

I got a video of Hardeman leaving well -pointed 6 .30, like Goodall said.

He's pacing.

Looks like he's yelling at somebody on his phone, and then he heads off down

street, and we lose him on the cameras.

And according to his call log, at 6 .38, he called a number registered to

Preston Cain four times.

Who's Preston Cain?

He's the chairman of Wellpoint Therapeutics.

Yes, I got a couple calls, but I didn't pick up, and I was out when Tom appeared

on my doorbell cam. Do you know why he came by?

Hardeman had a one -track mind. Every call and meeting was about the same

He wanted to fire Norman Munson.

Why is that?

Change the company's focus.

Redirect our R &D to big market, high profit therapies.

Well, that sounds like Hardiman's M -home. It is.

Except the Wellpoint board loves Norm.

Everyone loves Norm.

Despite the company's lackluster financial results the past few years.

So Hardiman wanted him fired, but the board wasn't having it?

A couple board members were on the fence, but you're correct.

Hardiman was never going to get the votes he needed. It was driving him

Why so much love for Norm Munson?

Look, it's not the most popular concept these days, but Munson believes there

are things more important than profit.

He believes in a greater good.

Hardiman called you four times, and one of the calls lasted 17 seconds. Are you

sure he didn't reach you?

He left a voicemail. I finally got what I need. Norm Munson is a goner.

Ryan Elliott.

I'm Detective Riley. This is Lieutenant Brady, NYPD.

We were told you worked closely with Tom Hardiman.

Yeah, until he fired me yesterday.

Don't worry. I was throwing back Patron shots with a half dozen colleagues when

Hardiman hit the pavement.

Sound really broken up about it. What can I say? Guy was a prick.

The thing that really gets to me, though, is I knew it.

but tried to convince myself that he was actually a decent human being.

What do you know about Hardiman's relationship with Norman Munson? He

man. He spent 50 % of his time trying to fire his ass. Already had his successor

picked out, too.

Hardiman chose Munson's successor?

Kind of a three -year business plan.

He shared it with the board. Munson knew about this.

He sure did.

But he didn't care.

Told Hardiman to kiss his ass.

Well, apparently Hardeman left a voicemail with WellPoint's chairman of

board. Preston Kane.

Yeah, something about how he finally had what he needed to get Munson fired,

like he had some smoking gun.

And 30 minutes or so later, he was dead, so we think there's some connection.

Whatever Hardeman discovered might have triggered someone to kill him. I wish I

could help you, but I don't know anything about that.

Sorry.

Okay, well, thank you for your time.

Well, one thing's clear. Munson lied to us when he told us that meeting with

Hardiman ended in some sort of gentleman's agreement.

Sounds like that one -on -one wasn't quite as friendly as he suggested, huh?

Yeah, maybe he's not as warm and cuddly as he looks.

Even a teddy bear's gonna get its back up when some young hotshot's trying to

fire him from his own damn company.

Sounds like motive.

Yeah, but I mean, what?

Munson's 70?

He doesn't seem like a killer type to me.

And his family said that he was home at the time of the murder. Maybe they're

covering for him. Just pull more video from the Wellpoint offices in the crime

scene. We just need one shot of Munson, hopefully wearing a brown hat.

And then we can get a warrant for his DNA.

What's going on here?

Sorry, sir, are you going to step aside? This is my company. Step aside. Kevin

Goodall, we need to talk.

We found video of you at the crime scene and your DNA on the victim. She needs

to run to arrest for murder.

You have the right to remain silent. Kevin, what's going on? Don't talk to

anyone, Norm. I don't understand. Say nothing to anyone.

Can't wait.

Hey, I gotta go.

Yep, I feel it.

You have no poker face, Nolan.

It's the mystery woman, isn't it?

You're clearly smitten. No comment.

Just give me something.

How you met? What she does?

She is a psychiatrist.

Don't say it.

No, I won't.

Because I can think of absolutely no reason for you to be seeing a

How'd the arraignment go?

Judge Romano granted bail.

On a murder to charge?

Yeah. Defense rattled off Goodall's resume. He's got a...

Awards from the NIH, CDC, MD, PhD in pharmacology, member of the MAA, an

community member who has never so much as gotten speeding tickets.

Not our first golden boy murderer.

Yeah. How's our evidence?

Video showing Goodall leaving Wellpoint at 7 .30 p .m., heading in the direction

of the crime scene, and then one block away putting on a brown hat that matches

the description from the taxi driver.

Plus... his DNA was a full match to the third -party DNA found on the victim.

Why'd he do it?

I'm not sure yet. We know Hardiman was gunning to fire Goodall's boss.

So let's find out what would have happened to Goodall if Hardiman had had

way.

Otherwise, your evidence is solid.

I'm not so sure about that.

Defense just filed a motion to suppress the DNA.

It's a Fourth Amendment violation, a total invasion of my client's privacy.

Your Honor, the defendant voluntarily surrendered his DNA and blood to his

employer without signing or demanding.

Any agreement that his employer keep those records confidential.

Is this true? Only because the sample was provided years before standard

forms, before the government was actively assembling DNA databases to

crimes. Please tell me police at least had a subpoena? Yes, they had reason to

believe Goodall was the killer, so we served the company with a grand jury

subpoena to produce Goodall's DNA, which, again, he had voluntarily

the company. This was not some...

wild database goose chase. It is an incontrovertible good for medical

researchers to provide their blood and DNA in labs so that research can proceed

accurately and safely without any risk of cross -contamination.

But if we violate the privacy of these doctors because of a technicality, you

put future life -saving research at risk because nobody will sign up to hand

over their DNA for science.

I agree.

Your Honor, we could have gotten a separate warrant to collect the DNA

arrest. An arrest based on this first invasion of privacy.

Fruit of the poisonous tree.

The DNA is out.

And you won't be getting any other warrant to get it either.

And Tom Hardiman was notorious for ousting CEOs and installing new ones?

Correct. Did he articulate this plan to members of the WellPoint board?

Brought it up at every meeting. Even called me a few times. In fact, he had

proposed a specific replacement CEO.

Yes. Called him a brilliant shark.

The night Tom Hardiman was killed, he left you an urgent voicemail, correct?

he tried to find you at home. Correct. Do you know why?

His voicemail suggested he'd finally found a way to get rid of Munson.

I finally got what I need.

Munson's a goner, were his words.

And if Munson was gone, what would happen to the defendant, Kevin Goodall?

Objection. Speculative.

Your Honor, the victim shared his own well -pointed three -year business plan

with the witness.

Overruled. Mr. Kane, please answer.

Munson hired Goodall right out of medical school.

Treated him like a son.

Hardeman told us the new CEO would clean house, and that meant firing Goodall.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Is Kevin Goodall a capable head of medical research?

He's excellent.

Under his oversight, how many drugs has WellPoint patented and brought to

market? Last ten years, seven.

Are you aware he'd received four offers from competing firms in the past year

alone for better pay?

I heard about one. The others don't surprise me.

Kevin is a well -respected researcher, and we knew he only stated WellPoint out

of loyalty to Norm's vision.

Do you have any reason to believe that Kevin Goodall had financial problems?

No.

Have you ever been to Kevin Goodall's home? Yes, once, for dinner.

Is this it on Central Park West?

Objection. Relevant.

Prosecution put forth a theory that my client's motive was anxiety about losing

his $600 ,000 a year job.

Mr. Kane can rebut that.

I'll allow.

Mr. Kane?

Yes, this is Kevin's home.

He purchased it for $12 .7 million in 2019.

Not bad for a medical researcher.

I believe there's family money there from real estate.

So do you have any reason to believe that Kevin Goodall was desperate to keep

his job at WellPoint so desperate he would kill for it?

No.

Not at all.

Defense is right. If Goodall is that wealthy, he didn't even need to work.

would he stress about losing his job at Wellpoint?

The motive still doesn't add up yet.

What are we missing?

This murder was emotional.

Improvised. Nobody plans to push someone in front of a taxi.

So what set it in motion?

Maybe something happened at the Wellpoint meeting between Hardeman,

Goodall? Something that...

Rattled Goodall?

Made him angry or worried enough to kill.

I'm saying nothing.

We just want to know about the meeting that day, if anything happened to upset

Kevin Goodall.

Do you know how many hours of rigorous, meticulous laboratory oversight goes

into bringing a life -saving drug to market?

It's not a job, it is a sacred commitment.

It takes constant vigilance.

Goodall is a great researcher and a great man.

Mr. Munson has to prepare for a call.

You got the wrong guy.

Mr. Munson did nothing wrong in that meeting. Please stop agitating him.

How do you know he did nothing wrong? Were you there?

I attend all of Mr. Munson's meetings. I'm with him the entire workday. Okay,

then why don't you just tell us what went down? Did Hardeman threaten Munson?

Did he threaten Goodall?

I can't answer any further questions. Just so you know, the DA can't subpoena

you to appear in court.

I can't speak.

I'm bound by New York state law.

What law?

HIPAA?

I'm Norman Munson's nurse.

Here we go.

Munson's assistant.

Before this, he spent five years working at the Flowering Garden facility in

Queens. What is that?

Memory care facility.

According to his financials, Munson made three large payments

this year to a doctor, Naomi Nezkami.

She's a neurologist.

That's it.

That's the smoking gun Hardiman was looking for.

Norman Munson had dementia.

Somehow, Hardiman discovered Munson's dementia at that meeting.

Well, he must have.

It was a pretty late meeting.

In my father's last years, he struggled to stay sharp. But after an hour,

especially in the afternoon...

His basic recall always failed. He could tell every detail of what happened in

his childhood, but he would forget what he had for breakfast.

I remember the shame on his face when he couldn't find an answer. It was

heartbreaking.

So Munson tripped up and Hardeman saw it.

Goodall saw it.

My guess?

That's why Goodall was in the meeting to begin with.

He spends a lot of time with Munson. He had to know about Munson's decline.

He was...

Guarding the secret. Because if the board found out about Munson's

Forget about votes. That would force his dismissal.

So, Hardeman was going to expose Munson's condition, have him fired.

That still only gets you halfway to motive.

Why would good old Kilt keep Munson as CEO?

You said he was rich, had job options.

I know. I've been digging into good old life. He was the...

further thing from desperate donated lots of money to tens of thousands to

various schools hospitals whatever motivated his wife him to know she

for his alibi right he lied to police about what time he got home there's no

she's going to talk to us when goodall's wife lies she weighed privilege give it

a shot track her down

Rachel Goodall, her housekeeper said she's been here since 7 a .m. Yeah, Mrs.

Goodall's an early bird.

Always here at the crack of dawn.

Here we are.

Do you mind?

The kids are fragile.

Leukemia, batten disease.

Here for our trial.

Mrs.

Goodall is over there.

I am not talking to you. Please leave. We just have some questions, please. I'm

not going to help you with anything. We can subpoena you.

That is the least of my concerns.

Hi, sweetie.

What's your name?

Kevin, good old daughter.

She can't speak?

Batten disease.

It's brutal.

It erodes the ability to communicate.

On top of the seizures, the disorientation, the eventual blindness.

Oh, it's all kids.

Symptoms present around the age of six.

From that point, the body essentially starts deteriorating.

You're running the trials for Wild Point, correct? We're one year in.

How's it going? How are you?

Close to a cure.

We're getting close, but we're still a few years out.

The survival rate for Batten is under 2%. That's why we're working around the

clock.

It's the only chance he'd get that.

Thanks.

Goodall didn't kill Hardiman to save his job.

He killed Hardiman to save his daughter's life.

So if Hardeman had been able to install his new profit -driven CEO at WellPoint,

what would have been his first order of business?

Eliminate budget waste.

Elaborate.

WellPoint spends a fortune on small market research into rare diseases.

Hardeman wanted WellPoint moving to cholesterol, blood pressure, weight loss

drugs, products with bigger markets.

So some WellPoint trials would have ended.

Immediately. Had he done this before?

cut drug research mid -trial in other firms that he invested in. So I made his

money.

Did Tom Hardiman share his proposed budget cuts with the WellPoint board?

Yes. He gave them a list.

I'm going to show you what was previously marked as Exhibit 5. Was this

was presented in June. A list of drug research he wanted to end at WellPoint.

Yes. Is Batten disease included on Hardiman's cut list?

Among others, yes.

Your Honor, I'd like to submit a photograph.

Objection. This was from a hospital newsletter, Your Honor. It's publicly

available.

I'll allow it.

This was taken at a Mount Hope Hospital event celebrating the strength and

courage of children fighting Batten disease and participating in WellPoint's

Phase I trials.

Please, could you read the caption aloud?

Dr. Kevin Goodall with his wife and daughter, Emily, a patient battling

disease.

So if Munson had been removed, that would have been a de facto death

for Kevin Goodall's daughter. Objection. Withdrawn.

No further questions.

Did Tom Hardiman have the power to fire Norman Munson?

He did not. Do you have any evidence that Tom Hardiman, or anyone for that

matter, had amassed the board vote to fire Munson?

It was Tom's plan. Yes or no?

Had he assembled the votes?

Not that I know of. So the idea of what Munson's replacement might change at

Wellpoint, it's total speculation on top of complete impossibility, which means

my client had no reason to kill Mr. Hardiman.

Nothing further.

I'd find a way to trip him up and reveal that his mental acuity has diminished.

That does not feel right, Nolan, for a lot of reasons.

Look, you can always plead this to a lesser charge.

Sam, push the man into a moving car. That's murder.

Or a manslaughter.

He was acting under extreme emotional disturbance.

He was panicked that the idea a new CEO would abandon that into this research

that his daughter's life was in jeopardy. He gave Goodall the right to

what company shareholders can and can't know.

Look what happened to Bidens in a circle when the world was questioning his

fitness to serve. No one thought they had the right to keep that secret.

Norman Munson is not a commander -in -chief. And by all accounts, in the

portion of the world he does control, he did nothing but good.

You want to humiliate him on the stand to help the Wall Street guys get richer?

Hardiman's fund still owns a 24 % stake. If Munson goes, they'll end research,

medical research, to save children's lives.

Children we saw, Nolan.

And we're doing this to send a devoted doctor and father to prison for life to

get justice for a corporate raider?

We don't get to rate our victims or defendants. But Munson, he's a bystander

all this.

Show me any other way.

We are prepared to offer murder, too.

But we'll recommend 15 to 20 years, which is the gift for charge of this

magnitude. Your case is weak, Nolan. That's why you're here. We're here

we're offering a lifeline to your client and his daughter.

Meaning what?

If you plead this out, no one will ever find out about Norman Munson's dementia.

Dementia? That's absurd.

Well, Point is going to continue its research into batten disease.

Find a cure. And your daughter will live.

This is one of the more brazen threats I've heard all year.

Take this to verdict.

You run two risks. One, expose Norman Munson's cognitive issues, which means

Munson is gone as CEO before the judge even sends the jury off to deliberate.

Two, you will face a much harsher sentence than 15 to 20.

Well, we're not going to lose.

Still with you in court?

One more thing. I mentioned to Judge Draven I have a scheduling conflict in

morning, so we'll be calling Norman Munson late in the day.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

I hope he's not too tired.

Were you considering retirement?

Not at all.

I love working.

Do you know of any situation that could force your termination?

For example, if you were convicted of a crime.

In that case, I'm out.

What if you were caught deceiving the board or shareholders?

I'd be removed.

What if you were deemed medically incapable of fulfilling your duties?

They would have to remove me. Your Honor, relevance?

We have been at this for an hour, and the witness has made it clear he was not

about to retire or be fired from Wellpoint Therapeutics, despite all of

Price's dire hypotheticals. I'm getting there, Your Honor.

Defense asks he get there tomorrow.

It's late.

Requesting an adjournment?

Continue, but swiftly.

So, Mr. Munson, once more.

For the record, you had and have no intention of abandoning your position as

of WellPoint. Correct. One more question.

It's the easiest one of the day.

How did you get here today?

How did you get to this courthouse?

Your Honor, relevance?

Overruled I Don't know I don't understand you arrived at

this courthouse Two hours ago, and I'm simply asking that you tell us how you

got here

Um... What's the question?

It's just how you got here today. I'm asking how you got to court today.

Uh... My car.

You came here by car? Yes, yes. A beautiful blue

BMW convertible.

We were right around with the top down all summer.

Do you remember that?

Do I remember?

Mr. Munster.

Judge,

we'd like to meet in chambers.

I understand you've reached an agreement on a plea. Yes, Your Honor. The

defendant has agreed to plea to a charge of murder in the second degree. We

recommend a 15 -year prison term.

Mr. Goodall, do you understand the terms of this deal?

I do, Your Honor.

Rachel.

Rachel.

I'm sorry.

There was no other way.

Tell Emily I love her.

I was willing to give up his freedom, his whole life for his daughter.

The greater good.
