You have one new message.

Ellen, it's me.

Look, there's something here
that you've really got to see.

Katie brought you a videotape
that Gregory Malina made.

Gregory confessed everything
about what happened in Florida.

I'm gonna leave it in
our hiding place, okay?

You go in, you get the tape,
and you get out.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

- Give me your pen light.
- Where's yours?

I'm not sure.

Yes, ma'am, I'll take a look.

Jesus Christ!

Watch it, lady!

David!

Bloody, half-naked, wandering
the streets at seven a.m.

Just your type.

- You get a name?
- All we found on her was this.

"Hollis M. Nye, Attorney at Law."

- You her lawyer?
- No, a friend.

You have a current address?

Yes, certainly.

She...

she lives with her fiancé.

We have a problem.

The police just came to see me
about Ellen Parsons.

Your mom made these for us.

I'm accused of murder,
and my mom bakes cookies.

Sounds about right.

Who attacked you?

I don't know.

I never saw him before.

Well, your mom said...

that Patty Hewes
posted the bail.

She knows I'm innocent.

She's representing me now.

When's David's funeral?

I can't go.

Why not?

There's conditions of my bail.
I can't travel.

Patty can petition the judge
for an allowance.

I don't know if...David's family
even wants me to be there.

I am so sorry, El.

Could you help me?
I'm looking for Lot 77.

You want to stay on the path,

then swing a right
at the oak grove.

Thank you.

You don't look like
you're from around here.

It's been thirty-five years.

Anything I can do?

I'll be up in a minute.

How does Ray Fiske's suicide
affect our case?

Judge Toomey
granted the opposition

a one-month continuance...

which we expected,
under the circumstances.

And Marshall Phillips has assumed
lead counsel for Mr. Frobisher.

- He a good attorney?
- He's one of the best.

Has there been another offer since
we turned down the 500 million?

No. Not yet.

I want to reiterate that
none of what's happened

can detract from our case.

We know what Frobisher did, and
we're ready to prove it to a jury.

Your office is finished.

I promise you, Patty,

the place is as good as new.

Thank you, Pete.

DNA tests confirm that
the blood of an unknown male

was found in my apartment
and on my client's clothing.

That corroborates her story
that she was attacked.

By who? There was no body
found in your apartment.

Our detectives did a thorough
forensic search,

canvassed the building,
talked to the neighbors--

- The blood evidence--
- Is inconclusive at best.

Ms. Parsons still had the motive,
the opportunity,

and her fingerprints
were in the victim's blood

on the murder weapon.

She explained that.

Can you explain why
her apartment was ransacked,

a file cabinet broken into,
its contents stolen?

I mean, not exactly consistent
with a crime of passion, is it?

Look, a young doctor
was found murdered

- on Riverside Drive--
- And people are scared.

Which is why you want this
to go away quickly.

Hell, if I lived
on the Upper West Side,

I wouldn't sleep tonight.

In fact, I might not want to
re-elect my district attorney.

Ellen Parsons worked for you.

I don't think you
can be objective about this.

I'm not.
I'm not objective at all.

And I'm gonna turn
my passionate, irrational anger

against your office.

I am going to go on
every talk show,

every media outlet I can find

to expose how you
ignored key evidence

in your incompetent rush
to accuse.

- Ms. Hewes.
- How, for political ends,

you destroyed the life of
an exceptional young woman...

while the real murderer
walks the streets.

This would be more pleasant
if I were dealing with you, Hollis.

I tried to reason with my client,

but she insisted on
Ms. Hewes representing her.

What do you want?

The DA's agreed to reopen
the crime scene.

- Good.
- Ellen,

you still know
where the tape is?

Of course.

And it's safe?

It's safe. Get the charges dropped,
and it's yours.

Ellen pushed me aside.

Shit.
Who's representing her now?

Patty Hewes.

She got the DA to reopen
the murder investigation.

All right, how would you
like us to play it?

Has the videotape been
put into evidence?

I don't think so, no.

Then maybe Patty Hewes
doesn't have it.

Are we playing
guessing games?

There's a goddamn gun
out there pointed right at me

and you don't know
if it's loaded?

Jesus! And what about
David Connor?

Do I have to worry about him?

No.

There's nothing that could
get back to you.

Good. Christ, what a mess.

You're looking for
anything incongruous,

anything that didn't belong
to your and your fiancé...

anything that's not
in the right place.

Gotta go.

Take your time,
Ms. Parsons.

Take a minute
and just let us know.

Excuse me.

- Hey, Rick.
- How's it going, Dan?

- Hey, Rosie.
- How you doing, Rick?

This is Detective Rick Masters.

He asked if he could
take a look around,

see if the scene fits the profile
of a case he's working downtown.

- Any luck?
- No.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I hope they find the guy.

Can we have a moment, please?

Hi.

I'm...sorry, Patricia.

I'm terribly sorry.

Mr. Frobisher.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah. Yeah, I do. What--

She turned down $500 million,
Larry.

What the hell's going on
over there?

Does she have something?

I don't know.
She's not telling us anything.

Then what do I have you for,
Larry?

You haven't given me anything
in weeks.

What can I do?

All right, look.

Has she said anything
about a videotape?

Now think. A videotape,
a confession.

What? No.

I don't know nothin' about that.

What tape?
What are you talking about?

Forget it.

I gotta tell you, Mr. Frobisher,
ever since your deposition,

I don't think she's gonna settle
for any amount.

Goddamn it!

I don't pay you to think,
dol, Larry?

- You haven't paid me for anything!
- I need facts. I need information.

- I know.
- That all I want.

No, you actually don't know.
You don't know shit.

And you've done shit.

Which is exactly what
you're gonna get from me.

I ain't paying you a penny.

I don't need your money,
you prick!

I have to admit, I think there's
something you're not telling me.

Arthur, why hasn't this case
already settled?

What's this?

Ray with Gregory Malina.

Jesus.

Was Ray having a thing
with this kid?

I don't know.
You know, maybe.

The kid's a hustler, for Christ's sake.
He's a liar.

Ray brought him down to Florida
the same weekend I was there,

and the kid
took advantage of him.

- He tried to extort money from him.
- How?

He made up
some bullshit videotape

confessing crap
that never happened.

What did happen in Florida,
Arthur?

I stepped into that condo
and she was staring right at me.

That girl was high
and out of her mind.

My assistant assured me
she didn't see a thing.

- And you believed him?
- Relax.

We'll take care of the girl.
You got my word on it.

- Now tell me.
- It's not good.

This is the report we're gonna
be filing next week.

The SEC has evidence
that the accounting fraud

in your company has been
going on for years.

What kind of evidence?

You use shell corporations
to hide your debt.

You book potential earnings
as current earnings

to artificially boost profits.

You know, I can't even tell
what I'm looking at here.

I've known you forty years.

Don't give me that shit, Arthur.

Arthur...

what happened in Florida?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

So this tape...
have you viewed it?

- No.
- Did Ray?

I don't know. But...

Malina wrote him a letter saying
the tape was out there, so...

And you think Patty has it?

She might.

Well...

there's a way to find out.

We file for summary judgment.

If we get the judge to rule
on the case now,

it'll force Patty
to show her hand.

Yeah, but...what if she does
have the tape?

Then at least we'll know
where we stand.

But if she doesn't,

based on the evidence
I've seen...

I'm betting the judge
will dismiss the whole case.

A summary judgment.

Why wait for a trial when a judge
can decide the case now?

If I file today, this could all
be over by next month.

We're going to trial.

I'll be in touch.

Turn this over to a judge?
What is he, crazy?

He's desperate.

He needs to know
if we have the tape.

So Phillips is forcing your hand.

I need the tape, Ellen.

If the judge rules against us,
we lose the case.

That would be unfortunate.

I'm doing everything I can
to exonerate you.

- I had the crime scene reopened--
- There was nothing there.

I've hired my own investigators,

I'm putting as much pressure
on the DA as I can.

I don't think so.

He's a DA.

DA's want to be re-elected.

Yes, they do.

So cut a deal with him...

give him what he wants.

Right over there.

That's gonna be the R&D building.
You know what that is?

Yeah, it's Research
and Development.

There you go. And it's the brain
center of any company,

hub of creation,

it's where dreams
are forged into reality.

Are we losing the house, Dad?

Holly said she and Bethie
are moving out to Aspen.

Whatever happens, you're gonna be
living with your mom in San Diego.

Why can't I stay here with you?

I got a lot on my plate right now.

So what, I just have to pick up
and move across the country?

You know something?
You need to grow up.

I'm dealing with some--
listen to me.

I'm dealing with
some major shit here.

I'm a guy who always
lands on his feet,

but right now I need to focus
on making things right.

You understand that?

Yeah, whatever.

Hey. Come here, come here.

I did something stupid, Owen.

I made a big mistake.

I'm gonna be paying
for the rest of my life.

What mistake?

I trusted too many people.

All right.
What's it gonna take?

What's what gonna take?

For you to drop
these preposterous charges

against Ellen Parsons.

You didn't find
any new evidence.

Let's cut the bullshit
and talk business.

You're a free woman.

You struck a deal?

The DA dropped the charges.

The investigation's
been reopened.

There'll be a press conference
later today.

You can go to David's
funeral now.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Now, where's the tape?

I don't have it.

You told me you did.

I told you it was safe.

- You got five minutes.
- Thank you.

Good evening.

Got a few minutes?

In 2002, I met Ray Fiske.

I didn't know this at the time, but
he was Arthur Frobisher's lawyer.

Shortly after, Mr. Fiske
sent me down to Florida

to help set up a meeting.

I didn't know what
this meeting was about.

But I know that Arthur Frobisher
was in contact

with a member of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

The name of that member is...

George Moore...

tipped you off.

That's gonna get you
quite a few years

in a federal penitentiary.

Tell me what you want.

Well, we have
a couple of options.

What are they?

If I turn this over
to the US Attorney's office,

you either plead guilty
or you fight it in court.

Either way you lose years
of your life...

and I'm still waiting in the wings
to bleed you dry in a civil trial.

And the other option?

We settle.

At my price.

The videotape?

It goes away forever.

You'll sign a non-disclosure
agreement?

All the evidence I have against you
will never come to light.

So, think about it.

But not for too long.

If I don't hear from you by
the end of the day tomorrow...

I'm gonna treat some friends of mine
at the Justice Department

to dinner and a movie.

You really enjoy this,
don't you?

It's my job.

Why do you hate me so much?

Someone was attacked
in our home,

- you haven't said a word about it.
- I didn't get attacked.

Ellen saw you, Michael.

You said you were going to
Henry's house for the weekend.

- I did.
- Then what were you doing here?

I left my laptop,
so I came back to pick it up.

Why? Am I a suspect?

No.

Then why are you
interrogating me?

We'd just like to know why
you feel the need to lie.

Maybe it just runs in the family.

I've gone over all of it
with your money managers.

Now, remember, this is just
a theoretical dismantling

of your asset structure.

What did they come up with?

You'd have to give up
93 percent of your net worth.

They'd start with your portfolio--
bonds, preferred stocks--

and then move on to real estate.

- The houses?
- Yes, all the houses.

Fine.

Liquidate all of it.

Foreign holdings,
domestic holdings.

I don't really care about
anything else,

but I need to know that I can keep
the new land that I'm developing.

You don't have to do this.
We could still win.

Can I keep the goddamn land,
Marshall?

- Yes.
- Promise me that.

We would find a way
for you to keep your land.

All right.

I'll pay her.

Arthur, this is ludicrous.

Let's just cool down
and think this through.

I have thought it through,
Marshall, and it's my call.

Pay her.

What about our motion
for summary judgment?

A settlement like you're talking about,
we have nothing to lose.

I have everything to lose,
Marshall.

That number is astronomical.

Even if we lose at trial,

you may never have to pay
a figure so high.

I'll give a jury a dozen reasons

to award your employees
less than that.

Marshall, I will build all of this
back up again, believe me.

But right now I'm done with this.

I need to move on.

Ms. Hewes, Marshall Phillips
is here to see you.

Thank you, Betty.
Send him in.

Marshall.

This is a surprise.

Oh, I doubt that.

Please.

Can you believe
it's almost fall?

What sign are you?

We're dropping our motion
for summary judgment.

My client has instructed me
to extend to you...

this settlement offer.

There's a condition.

He wants
a non-disclosure agreement.

All evidence sealed--
nothing comes out.

Whatever you've got is buried.

Otherwise,
the offer evaporates.

Understood.

Tell him we accept.

You knew my father,
didn't you?

I never liked him.

Well, he never liked you.

He always thought your cases
had a stink to them.

Good to see you, Marshall.

Together we hit a few bumps

along the way,

but in the end,
you believed in me

and in our justice system.

Your trust won this case.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Larry?
Do you have a moment?

Don't sit, Larry.
This won't take long.

What's going on?

We know you were leaking
information to Frobisher.

We want you to disclaim
your interest in the settlement--

voluntarily.

And cut myself
out of two billion?

- You gotta be kiddin' me.
- If you don't remove yourself,

we'll turn you over to
the US Attorney's office.

It's your choice.

But I made amends.

They've made their decision,
Larry.

I'm 70 years old.

I lost everything.

The man came to me--
what was I supposed to do?

What am I gonna do now?

Ellen.

Before you go.

- If you'll excuse me?
- Sure.

Your first victory
as an attorney.

Have you given any thought
to what you're going to do next?

I don't much care
at the moment.

Your office is still empty.

I'm sure someone
will make good use of it.

The job is yours, Ellen.
Anytime you're ready.

Thanks for the drink.

Ellen!

Mr. Nye.

Get in the car.

They know what you did,
Ellen.

Who are you?

I'm Agent Harrison,
this is Agent Werner.

We're with the FBI.

Ms. Parsons,
the night of Ray Fiske's suicide

you were seen leaving
Hewes and Associates.

I worked there.

You were fired at the time.

What is this about?

It's about Patricia Hewes.

In the Frobisher case?

No, we were investigating
Ms. Hewes

long before the Frobisher case.

Arthur Frobisher
had my fiancé killed,

and you're investigating
Patty Hewes?

I tried to warn you, Ellen,
not to take the job.

You talk to us...

maybe we overlook what you
were doing there that night.

This is your leverage?

You're gonna have to do
better than that.

This picture means nothing.

You don't want us pursuing it.

Go ahead.

Thanks for the chat.

We commend our brother
David Connor...

unto you, dear Lord,

now that he has passed
from this life.

We live on in your presence.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,

and let perpetual light
shine upon him.

May he rest in peace.

May his soul and the souls
of the faithful departed

to the mercy of God
rest in peace.

Amen.

I've been trying to forgive you.

You don't have to.

It's my fault.

No.

This whole thing started because
I took Frobisher's money.

The last time--

the last time I saw David...

...we had a fight.

And he was right.

He was right about everything.

Thank you for--

thank you for letting me
come today.

David would
have wanted you here.

I know you're not the enemy
in all of this.

Thank you.

Call me when you get back
to New York.

Let me know.

We're square.

Indeed we are.

You didn't get this from me.

You sound like
my college girlfriend.

Sit on it till the next election.

When it comes out,
there'll be a lot more lawsuits.

Shareholders are gonna go after
the rest of Frobisher's fortune.

And you can send him to jail.

Now you don't owe me nothin'.

Oh, God.

I've been in touch
with the DA's office every day.

What have they found?

Well, they've turned the
crime scene inside-out, but...

even if they find the guys
who did this--

They'll never trace it
back to Frobisher.

I'm sorry.

Patty tells me that you're
not coming back to work.

So you're in the loop again.

Now that you're a partner

you must have got a nice chunk
of change from that settlement.

Yeah...yeah.

So...what did--

what did you and Patty do...

to win this thing?

Enjoy your money, Tom.

A lot of great charities
out there.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Sure.

When Patty went away, did she
ever tell you where she went?

No. She told me
she was visiting family.

You had a little girl...

but she died before delivery.

May I ask...

is there a name
you'd like on the certificate?

You wanted to speak
with me?

The other night
at my apartment...

you asked me...

if I regret what we did.

I want you to know...

that 1 do.

I deeply regret it.

Why are you telling me
this now?

Because you're right.

I've lied,

I hired you to get to Katie, I...

manipulated you.

I am ashamed of what I did...

and I hope you can forgive me...

someday.

I have...

a lot of flaws.

Come back, Ellen.

Give me a second chance.

I was thinking of going away
for a while.

Without David,

I don't have a reason
to be anywhere.

I understand.

I don't believe
in the law anymore.

But I believe in justice...

so I'll come work for you again.

On one condition.

What's that?

Let me use the firm's resources

to prove that Frobisher
had David killed.

It's a deal.

Ellen.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the chat.

What are you
looking at her for?

Fraud, conspiracy,
obstruction of justice.

Mr. Nye tells us you might
have reasons of your own

for wanting to take down
Ms. Hewes.

Yes...

I do.

Do you regret what we did?

Because I do.

You do?

While I'm gone,
you're welcome to stay here.

It's done.

She tried to kill me.

How do you know that?

Because I know Patty.

See you on Monday.

And you want me to go back
and work for her.

Ms. Parsons,
you'll be working for us.

See you Monday.
