Original subtitles

Previously on The Firm.

Sarah said she didn't know Margaret Whitaker. Had only met her on the day

she died. So why does Sarah have a shredded piece of paper with the names

of all the fired nurses?

Because she lied.

Paper we found in Sarah Holt's apartment.

Tammy figured out where she got it. There's an IP address in the lower

corner and it's from Noble Insurance.

She's been hacking into her parent company's system and using the info to

target her victims. I'm Martin Moxon, the VP here at Noble.

And this is Kevin Stack, our senior VP.

Has the U.S. Attorney's Office subpoenaed any of your data records?

Even if they have, you understand we couldn't comment on a pending

investigation.

Moxon was trying to leak me a document. Why give me something I can't decode?

Mr. Moxon, he needs you to explain what those numbers mean. I don't know what

you're talking about.

Martin, what are you... Did you know Martin Moxon? Huh?

If you didn't kill him, why did you run?

Here we go again.

You're a lucky man, McDeer.

You're free to go.

You got a damn good lawyer.

I don't have a lawyer.

Well, somebody should tell him that.

Guy's relentless.

Working non-stop to get you out of here.

Something funny?

Don't take it personally.

We love locking up defense attorneys.

Before you go, I believe this is yours as well.

You okay?

Yeah, I just... I thought I... I thought I lost this. We found it. Back at the

hotel.

Guess whoever you were running from didn't want it after all.

Okay. He was just processed. He'll be at any time now.

Thank you, Andrew.

So you were there when my brother was arrested?

Not exactly, but I saw it from down the street.

Look, the man who died, his name was Martin Moxon. I knew him. He worked for

Noble Insurance.

Do you know why Mitch was meeting him?

Abby.

Thank God.

Are you okay?

Hey, I knew this day would come. I was getting you out of jail.

You must be my lawyer.

Thank you. Wait till you get my bill.

They almost charged you with murder, Mitch. What the hell were you getting

into? Let's not talk here. Us?

You think it's safe to go to the house?

Yeah, we're okay.

What I can tell, those guys were after me.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

I'm good. Everything's clear?

She's upstairs sleeping.

Don't worry. She's fine.

Uh, maybe...

Maybe you three could just give us a second. Andrew, can I get you anything?

No. I'm okay, thank you. Okay.

Briefcase. I thought you said you lost it at the hotel.

Yeah, so did I.

But whoever was chasing me, they left it there.

With Moxon's list still inside of it. Why?

Martin Moxon? Short glasses?

We're talking about the same guy.

You knew him, right? I didn't just know him, I represented him. Our firm is

General Counsel for Noble Insurance.

Martin was a suit.

He's boring in the way that only a VP at a major insurance company can be.

No one wanted to kill him. Well, obviously he was into something, right?

Okay, I did hear that Martin was having some trouble.

He wasn't as productive at work recently.

Do you know why?

No. Marital trouble, maybe?

I think the company was considering letting him go, but I don't think Martin

knew that. Maybe he did. Desperate people do desperate things.

I have to ask.

Moxon, he was a firm client.

Why were you meeting with him?

I didn't know he was a client when I met with him.

I was just following up on a lead in a murder case, a woman named Sarah Holt.

What did Martin have to do with the murder case?

Nothing. Nothing.

We discovered that Sarah might have been hacking the Nobles' computer system,

looking for victims to rob.

So when I went to Noble to discuss the possibility, Martin, he just shut me

down. Of course he did.

If a privacy violation like that got out to the public, it would hurt the

company. I know.

And in order to get the truth, I had to meet with Moxon in private.

That's why I arranged the meeting at the Parkview Hotel.

Next thing I knew, my whole world just caved in.

Okay, I'm gonna go talk to Alex. I'll find out what she knows, okay? Whatever

Martin was into, we'll figure it out.

McDeer's out.

He was actually hoping the police would solve this problem for us.

Allium. I wish.

Interferes with my blood pressure meds.

We're good.

McDear still doesn't know anything.

He thinks Sarah Holt was hacking a noble insurance.

Really? Yeah, that's why he met with Mox, and he wanted Mox to admit that

there was a computer intrusion.

And you know this how?

McDear told me.

He trusts me.

Well, then I guess everything will be okay.

Go home, Andrew.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Can't afford that kind of naivete.

Andrew only knows what I tell him.

Well, McDear was lying. He wasn't meeting Moxon about computers, and you

damn well know it. Here's what I know.

Moxon gave McDear a document, a document he can understand, and before Moxon

could explain it, he went off the balcony.

We can't take that chance. McDear needs to go.

Don't take this the wrong way, Kevin.

That's the dumbest idea I've heard in a while.

The police think McDear killed Moxon.

If McDear turns up dead, it's only going to heat up the investigation.

Then what do you suggest?

We spin him.

Bring McDear in and tell him a story.

An explanation that covers everything.

Just don't know what it is yet.

It better be good.

McDeer's smart.

I'm smarter.

You okay?

Yeah.

No.

This is what we do. We just go back to normal.

To what?

To one of those men who was chasing you just shows up again.

I don't know what else to do.

We could leave. No, we are not running again.

We agreed.

We are done running.

Look, whoever was chasing me, if they wanted to kill me, they could have.

I don't think this was about us. Was it the mob? I don't know, but I don't think

so. So what is it about?

My best guess is it's about Sarah Holt.

All this started when I went to Noble to talk about Sarah. That's when Moxon gave

me the list.

Why me?

There must be some connection between Sarah and the numbers. Otherwise, why

give me the list?

So Moxon was trying to blow the whistle about something.

I think so.

There is a link between Sarah and Noble.

These guys chasing me did not want him to tell the truth. You have to talk to

Sarah.

She's your client and she's lying to you Mitch. I will.

It just needs to be the right time.

We still need a few more pieces of the puzzle.

You lost, Lewis?

I just heard this morning.

Are we okay?

Abby and Claire?

Yeah, we're fine. It was just a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

You were arrested for questioning in a homicide.

When they ran your prints, I got an alert.

Then you know the police have no case.

I had a meeting with a guy who committed suicide. A secret meeting in a hotel

room. And they released me, Lewis. Oh, come on, Mitch.

Obviously you're into something here. Let me help.

I appreciate that, but I need to figure this out on my own. Why?

I just do.

Not good enough.

Hey, we go back way too far for you to dismiss me. I'm not dismissing you. I am

protecting my family.

I'm sorry, but I've been down that road.

I know what happens when you let the government think for you. I need to

handle this on my own. That's not fair. It has been too long since I have been

in control of my own life. I don't need the feds making my decisions for me.

So that's what I have.

A fed.

Just another government suit.

You are a friend, Larissa, and I appreciate everything you've done.

But I gotta take it from here.

Everything stops.

No meetings, no cases, no business as usual, not until we find out who was

chasing me and why.

Well, good morning to you, too, sir.

Good morning, Tammy.

Where do you want to start, Ray?

Uh, the hotel. That place is wired with security cameras.

One of them must have picked up something.

Oh, yeah? How are you gonna access the security system?

I'll figure it out.

You know, those systems are very complicated. Once you get inside, you

have to access the C drive, and then you pull up the root directory.

I know.

Mitch, I think I should go. It's more my forte. I'll handle it. Boom, C drive,

root directory.

Tammy, look, I want you to work on the moxin list.

So list.

Listen, I know you wanted me to clear your calendar, and I did, but there's

been a problem.

No meetings.

It's not a meeting. It's a hearing.

Judge Casey's courtroom.

I called.

He would not give a continuance. You have to show up in person and ask for

it. Maybe I should have talked to him. Those calls can be complicated.

I didn't have an excuse.

I wanted to tell him you were in jail for a murder charge, but I thought

better of that.

All right.

You find these guys, Ray, and you crack the list. We'll be back in an hour.

Mitch, is everything all right? I'm sorry I'm late. I hate to do this to

you, Richard, but I'm going to have to put this off for a few days.

Mr. McDeer, front and center, please.

I spoke to your assistant.

She lied to me, counsel.

Gave me some line about you having a personal emergency.

Nice woman.

Terrible liar.

I'm surprised to hear that, Judge. She is actually an excellent liar.

Which is it?

Are you or are you not in a state of personal emergency?

I do have some pressing personal matters to attend to, Your Honor.

Really?

Pressing, are they?

I'm retiring next month.

My wife wants to sell our house and buy an RV so we can tour the country. I hate

that idea.

Your Honor. My granddaughter left law school last week to become an actress.

And just this morning, my doctor suggested I seriously consider an adult

diaper.

We all have pressing personal matters, Counsel.

But this is your motion.

If I'm here, you're here.

Let's begin, shall we?

My name is Dr.

Richard Keller. I'm the chief scientist and CEO for RKR Incorporated. We are a

small biotech research company. Will you tell the court what it is that you're

researching? Yes. At the moment, my focus is Alzheimer's disease.

Our mission is to cure the condition within the next 10 years. Is that

possible? We think so.

I've made some significant breakthroughs in the last 12 months.

That's why I'm here, to protect my work.

I've developed a new drug that enhances the Kebra protein in the brain. Kebra? I

don't know what that means.

Well, nobody knows for sure. We're still testing the product, but the early

results have been extremely promising.

If I may... Now, this is the brain of a six-year-old chimpanzee. Now, what

you're looking at is normal brain function. Now, this is the same specimen

after seven months' treatment with our drug. We are significantly improving

brain function.

That's exciting. Yes, it's more than exciting. It's the culmination of my

life's work. So you understand how it feels to see it being stolen.

Objection! Sustained.

Don't characterize the evidence, Doctor. Just tell me what happened.

Cynthia happened.

Cynthia Reed. She runs Garland Pharmaceuticals. It's one of the biggest

companies in our field.

We met just over a year ago at a conference, and we started seeing each

other. Romantically?

Yes.

I thought so.

I fell in love with her, but I think now that she only continued our relationship

to steal my work. Your Honor.

Well, tell them, Cynthia.

I was stupid.

I only wanted to share the most exciting moments of my career with the woman I

loved, and she betrayed me. A move's a strike.

Your Honor, he is emotional. He has a right to express himself.

She started clinical trials at Garland using the research I told her about.

When my board members found out, I defended her, saying it couldn't be

true. I never lied to you, Richard.

Yes, you did.

Did you ever even care about me?

Or was the whole thing just a savvy business move?

I do care, but you always knew that my company came first.

You bitch. Mr. Keller. Your Honor. That's enough, Dr. Keller. This is my

discovery. I will not let you take this from me.

Okay, here's what we know.

Sarah Holt allegedly killed Margaret Whitaker, a 71-year-old woman, in her

sleep. Cause of death, smothering. Two, it looks like Sarah got Margaret's name

by hacking into Noble Insurance.

Three, when you went to Noble Insurance, they denied knowing anything, but then

Moxon slipped you a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers on it. Four, there is

no four because we don't know what the numbers mean.

Okay, but at least we know what they don't mean. They're not Social Security

numbers. They're not Medicaid numbers. They're not Noble patient case files.

Any luck getting video footage from the Parkview?

I'm on it. Scoped it out today. There's a security office in the basement.

C Drive, route directory. Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I just confront Sarah now.

It's risky. She's only going to give you the answers if she thinks you know them

already. That's right. If you make a plan she thinks you're weak, you're not

going to break her. We have the shredded names that you got from her apartment. I

would like to see her explain that. Enough is enough.

I'm going to go talk to her tomorrow morning before court.

It's time for Sarah to start telling me the truth.

I'm starting to think you forgot about me.

No, Sarah.

I promise you're very much on my mind these days.

I just want to confirm a few details.

You said you met Margaret Whitaker the same night she died, right?

Yeah.

She told you her nurse was abusive.

She asked you to sit with her?

We've been over this. I didn't know her. We met that day at the doctor's office.

You recognize that?

It's a list of nurses fired by Margaret Whitaker.

Where did you get that?

You know where.

We found it shredded in your apartment.

So you tell me, Sarah, how is it that you shredded a list of nurses fired by a

woman you have never met?

I know what you're thinking. How much does he know? That page is only the

beginning.

If you want my help, then you need to stop playing games right now.

Sorry, I got you into this.

Tell me about Noble Insurance.

Guard?

Tell me about Martin Moxon. Did you know him? He's dead, Sarah. He took his own

life. Guard?

Sarah, I can't help you if I don't understand.

We're done here.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me where the security office is? Yes, it's just around the

corner on your right. Thank you.

C drive, loop directory.

I gotta get back. I have two more classes this afternoon.

Okay, how about this?

Maybe they're bank routing numbers.

Like each one stands for a bank.

Maybe. And each bank has a separate account?

Yeah, like Moxon wanted us to find those accounts.

You know, follow the money and you figure out the truth.

No, I don't know, Tammy. At this point, I'll believe anything.

Do routing numbers even have nine digits? I don't know.

Why don't you go to our online banking? You can pull up one of our checks.

I gotta go. Wait! I never remember the password.

It's our corporate tax ID number.

Here, I have it on my phone.

Nine digits.

Tammy, that could be it. The numbers could stand for corporations. That could

be it. I know you're upset, but I can't change that now.

Ms. Reed, please don't address my client directly.

You can deliver your testimony to the court.

I'm sorry.

Now, you knew my client had strong feelings for you, didn't you, Miss Reed?

In fact, he told you that he loved you.

Yes. And did you love him?

I'm sorry, but no.

I knew early on that we probably wouldn't make it.

And yet you continued to see him.

You were together for almost a year.

Why? I'll tell you why. Because you knew his research was making progress.

And because he was telling you all of his corporate secrets.

Believe it or not, I'd heard of Alzheimer's before I met Richard.

And my R&D departments had been on the trail of the Kieber protein a lot longer

than his have. But with half the success.

Your Honor, this case is about fraud.

Yes, my client volunteered trade secrets to the defendant.

Maybe he was naive. I'd say so, counsel. But the law doesn't excuse fraud.

because the target was naive enough to fall for it. Don't punish my client.

Don't punish his shareholders who poured money into his research with the hopes

of someday seeing a return.

Your Honor, if I could be heard. To be honest, I've heard enough.

Dr. Keller, I too have been a fool for love in my day.

But this was highly irresponsible.

Yes, Judge.

Your investors deserve better.

And while I'm not sure you deserve to win this motion, I'm not sure they

deserve to lose it.

The plaintiff's request for an injunction is granted.

Ms. Reed, you will discontinue all research based on Dr.

Keller's discovery.

Understood?

Yes, Your Honor. Good.

And good luck, Dr. Keller.

The world needs this drug.

I gotta say, I wasn't gonna file this case. I was too embarrassed.

But my shareholders insisted, and anyway, thank you.

Well, I'm glad you did, and I'm glad I took it.

One man against big pharma, that's why I still do this job.

I told you, Cynthia, all your company's money couldn't change what's right.

You think you won something here today, Richard?

Yes, my company can no longer develop your technology, so we'll just make it

our technology.

What are you talking about?

I'm buying your company, Richard. We polled your shareholders, and they're

willing to sell with or without you if the price is right.

Oh, I got another one.

Adver Beauty Products, headquarters Cincinnati. It's ninth on Moxon's list.

You get the video footage?

Yeah, I got it. Let's just say I haven't seen it.

All right, well... It's probably encrypted, so you're gonna need some

help. I got it covered.

I know a guy.

Look, I gotta go.

Excuse me.

Ray, come here.

Dimitri, glad to hear you got parole.

I need your skills.

I can't talk to you here.

I was wondering how a guy who hacked into American National Bank ended up

working at First District Trust.

Guess you left that off your resume.

It's also four years spent at Brush Mountain.

Well, what kind of hacker would I be if I couldn't change my own background

check? What do you want?

You owe me.

Here to collect.

Come on.

They're corporations.

Well, the numbers are tax IDs. Each one corresponds to a different company. So

why did Moxon give us a random list of companies?

They're not random.

They're Noble subsidiaries.

Everything from manufacturing furniture to premier dog food.

Noble Insurance owns over 30 companies. There's 11 numbers on that list. Why did

Moxon single these out?

Mitch, we're riding high on a victory here. Why are you bumming us out with

new questions? Because, Tammy, it doesn't make sense.

What was Moxon trying to tell us?

How'd it go with Sarah?

I guess she wasn't much help.

She wouldn't talk to me.

Well, except she did say, I am sorry I got you into this.

Creepy. Into what?

Exactly. She knows, but she won't say.

I don't know what it is that Sarah Holt did or why, but we are gonna find out.

Is Claire good?

Yeah, she's having dinner at Julia Haney's.

Her mom didn't spend the day looking up tax ID numbers.

You coming home?

Soon. I just gotta see this Richard Keller guy first.

Why? I thought that was finished and the company got sold.

Well, it's never done with me.

We won the motion.

But I am not going to let this Cynthia Reid woman game the system with her

money.

Okay, I'm here.

A little depressed, counsel. I'd rather be drowning my sorrows in a very

expensive bottle of scotch right about now.

Thank you for meeting me. So what's so important that you can't wait till

morning?

Getting your company back. Look, for us to have any shot, we need to move

quickly. Look, Mitch, it's over.

Okay? I checked.

Cynthia's making a huge offer. My shareholders want it. I also checked.

Cynthia needs a two-thirds vote to support any sale. Other than you, the

only other player with enough shares to get her over the top?

Brad Blake. This is his building.

Come on, let's throw a Hail Mary.

Is that football?

Make a goal line stand?

Put up a last-second jumper?

You don't watch any sports?

It's a no-brainer.

Yeah, I can't wait either.

Bye, baby.

Big trip? New York.

My kid's obsessed with Phantom of the Opera.

I'm gonna find that Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I'm gonna smack him.

So, Mr. McDeer, I admire your tenacity coming down here, but I told you my

position on the phone.

Well, with all due respect, Mr. Blake, it's one thing to say you don't want to

sell. It's another thing to look your CEO in the eye and tell him that all you

care about is the money.

Richard, I like you. You're a smart guy.

But all I care about is the money.

Look, fellas, we all stand to make money here.

I promise. It's nothing personal.

Don't kid yourself, Mr. Blake.

Business is personal.

Is that right?

Bill Gates, the richest man in the world.

is also a college dropout whose father told him he wouldn't amount to anything.

Tell me that's not personal.

Alexander Graham Bell, his wife was deaf, led to the invention of the

telephone. Steve Jobs made it his mission in life to destroy Android. And

you know why? Because he thought they stole his technology.

I take your point. My point is this, Mr. Blake.

You can sell now and make short money.

Or you can bet on my client.

and make more money down the road.

Is that true?

My research is promising.

Yes.

I shouldn't be doing this.

I'm not supposed to touch a computer. It's a condition of my parole.

I remember you in a different condition. Inside, Dimitri, you're scared and

looking for someone to watch your back.

Look, I owe you. I'm not saying I don't.

Look, just find the footage.

18th floor hallway and front lobby cameras.

Well, that's not going to be possible.

It's gone.

What do you mean it's gone?

I mean it's gone.

Erased. Someone got to it first.

You sure? All of it?

Check the elevator camera.

Yeah, I already did.

There's no sign of whoever it was that was chasing your brother.

This is the closest I can get you.

I think that might be one of the guys you're looking for.

Might be. See the bulge in his back? His pack?

Correct. And if I just enhance this area.

And the side of his neck.

Dimitri.

Riven.

You asked to see me? I need you to bring in McDare.

Why?

Excuse me?

You heard me, Alex. What's going on?

You're keeping things from me, and I don't like it. I'm really not concerned

with what you like and don't like.

Maybe it's time you get concerned.

Look, I'm in this, okay?

I get that. You asked me to approach McDeer. I did. You asked me to bring him

on board. It's done.

I know we're into something heavy here. I'm not a child. Then stop behaving like

one. Kevin Stack is crazy, and you know it. You told me nobody was gonna get

hurt.

I am not a killer.

Nobody's trying to kill McDeer.

We just want to talk to him.

Then you bring him in yourself.

I'm out.

Andrew, you were right about one thing.

Kevin Stack is a very dangerous man, and I would not want to be on his bad side

right now.

I don't want to see McDare hurt either, but my ability to control the situation

is dwindling.

Then just back off. Walk away. We don't need him as a client.

We are way too far down the road for that.

If you want to save Mitch McDare, you'll bring him in, and let's all hope he

believes what he hears.

Mitch McDeer.

Richard.

Sorry,

but what percentage?

I am sorry to hear that. I thought we had a shot.

Yeah, you too.

Thanks. Thought you had a shot at what?

A client of mine just had his company sold out from underneath him. Ouch.

I guess we saw it coming.

Our only shot was to get Brad Blake to do the right thing.

I know Brad.

Does some business with this firm.

Smart guy.

Not as smart as he thinks.

Better not be talking about me.

Of course not.

Kevin Stack, I think you know Mitch McDeer?

We met, of course. We met at the noble office.

Thank you for coming.

Please don't stand on my account.

Well, first, we were so glad to hear you're okay.

I imagine Abby and Claire have had quite a time as well.

Thank you.

As general counsel for Noble Insurance, of course we were very concerned for one

of our partners to be put through this kind of ordeal. And while meeting with

the Noble vice president.

Obviously, we went looking for answers, and, well, I think it's safe to say we

have them.

Really? What I'm about to tell you is company information.

In fact, I'm only able to tell you because this firm represents Noble.

Well, I understand that.

About six months ago, we became aware that Martin Moxon might have a drug

problem. When you met him, you may have noticed his constant sniffling.

He didn't have a cold.

We believe most of his salary was going up his nose.

Of course, when we heard this, we started an internal investigation, and

unfortunately, the cocaine was only the beginning.

Martin was embezzling from the company. As a VP, he had payment authorization

power on hundreds of files. He was siphoning money to support his habit.

You have proof of that?

We do, and we've already provided it to the police.

Before you met, Martin was under constant surveillance.

My office knew an arrest was imminent.

That's how we knew you were calling Moxon at the office. We knew your

assistant, Miss Hemphill, met with him in our parking garage.

I see.

We didn't know what to think. My people were concerned you were involved, so we

thought we'd make contact, ask a few questions.

Those men that were following you, they were noble investigators.

Investigators, who I understand, got wildly overzealous. They never should

have chased you.

And I've spoken to them directly.

Mr. Stack, these men had guns.

They weren't chasing me because they had questions.

It may not have appeared that way, but it's true.

Martin knew we were onto him.

We thought he was preparing to transfer a lot of money. I think you get the

idea, Mitch.

Martin knew he was caught.

When he heard the men at the door, he took his own life rather than face it.

You were just there to see it.

Can I ask why you were there?

My client, Sarah Holt.

I think she hacked into Noble's database, and when I met with you, you

two shut me down.

So I was hoping that Martin would admit it if I met with him privately.

And did he?

No. No, he never got a chance to. Well, again, on behalf of Noble, please accept

our apology.

I'm just glad it's done now, and we can all get back to our normal lives.

Here, here.

I think that deserves a drink.

Even if it is 11 in the morning.

I guess it makes sense.

Embezzling Martin Moxon? Never saw that coming.

Apparently he was a cocaine addict?

Do people even do that anymore? I mean, what is this, bright lights, big city? I

don't know, man. Between us, some of the things they said in there, they just,

they don't sit right.

Don't overthink it. I mean, Occam's razor, simplest explanation is usually

the correct one.

Look, take a few days, clear your head.

I'm sure everybody will understand.

Brad Blake.

You venture capital guys are nothing if not predictable.

It's McDeer, right?

We VC guys are lousy with names. So you just sold him out?

Guy put everything he had into his company and you just let Big Pharma take

it over? I don't know what you're talking about. No, you don't. Because

I'm talking about hearts. Something guys like you won't ever understand.

Is that right?

Why don't you hold on to that?

You can eat it when I'm gone.

I don't believe it. He voted against the sale.

Richard!

Richard, open the door.

I know you're in there. I just spoke to your assistant.

Mitch, what are you doing here? You have to talk.

It's not really a good time.

Must have met.

You got me.

I believed you. All this crap about your life's work.

What are you talking about? What's going on?

Two-thirds.

Cynthia needed two-thirds vote to authorize a sale. And she got it. You're

damn right. But it wasn't Brad Blake who voted against you. There was only two

shareholders with enough shares to authorize the sale. You and Brad.

I got him. I convinced Brad Blake that the principal was more important than

the money.

Brad Blake.

Do you know how impossible that is?

Yes, I do.

You did a great job, Mitch.

A lot better than I ever wanted you to.

I thought I hired a neighborhood lawyer. I guess not.

So you voted for the sale? You just let Cynthia Reid take your company?

Yes, I did.

Why? Just tell him, Richard.

He's your lawyer.

It's all privileged.

Can't repeat it anyway.

Hello, Mitch.

Hello, Cynthia.

Richard's a brilliant man.

His research is groundbreaking, but this drug of his, it doesn't work.

It all started so well.

The early lab tests, I thought I made a critical advancement, but it's not safe.

It helps to slow the disease, but 16% of the test animals suffered fatal side

effects, massive strokes.

So you covered it up? I had to. I had investors, I had people who believed in

me. I just needed more time. But time ran out. People were starting to ask

questions. So you bailed him out. I tried.

I ordered clinical trials at my company. I thought maybe our scientists could

help out, but nothing we did made a difference.

And when his shareholders found out, they demanded justice.

So you had me file a motion to make it look like she had stolen your work? I

didn't think we'd win.

And when you did, our only option was for Cynthia to buy the company. So what

now? You paid a fortune for a drug that doesn't work, your company won't be

happy. It doesn't work yet. We're still hopeful.

And don't worry about my company, Mitch. We make more than enough to absorb a few

failures. So you did all this... Because I love him.

Everybody wins.

Nobody knows Richard falsified data. We're still testing his drug, and we

stay together.

So much for putting your company first.

Mitch.

I'm 53 years old.

I've dedicated my life to Garland Pharmaceuticals, and here's what I've

learned. Plain and simple.

Nobody wants to be alone.

Wow.

I've read about Cynthia Reid. People think she's some kind of dracon lady.

If they only knew what she did for love.

I know. I didn't see it coming.

I'm glad you didn't.

You're still an idealist at heart.

Okay, so you got beat. That happens.

The question is, was it twice in one day?

Maybe. I say definitely. Come on. Those guys who were chasing you weren't noble

PIs. Take a look at this photo.

That's from the video I told you about.

What is going on with that?

Look, I'm making calls. I'm trying to figure it out. But insurance

investigators don't have tattoos like that, and they don't chase you with

guns. I know.

and their story doesn't explain the list.

I mean, why would Moxon, if he was stealing, give me these numbers?

Did you tell them about the list?

No, but I did look at it again, and the second number on the list is from a

company called Cobalt Industries. They specialize in waste disposal.

So? So, look, it's just an idea, but maybe Moxon was trying to blow the

whistle on some kind of dumping scandal. Those things are big news.

A lot of these big conspiracies have to do with the environment. I don't get it.

I searched the first two numbers.

Why didn't Kolot's name come up? Well, maybe it did, and you just missed it.

Rude. I don't think so, but I'll check my history again.

Okay, read me the last three digits.

Um, 293.

No, the second company on the list.

That's it.

293. Oh, my God, that's not the number.

When I searched the second number, it was 321.

But 321's not even on that list.

What?

They switched the document.

Who?

I don't know, but that's why we got it back.

Whoever did this wants us to think that we still have it, so that we go down the

wrong path.

I don't know who these people are.

But they're good.

We picked this up from the bug we put in the briefcase.

They switched the document.

Oh, I don't know.

They didn't buy it.

Damn.

Well, at least he doesn't know who's behind it. For now.

But how much longer can we hold them off?

It's getting dangerous.

You don't have to say.

You were right.

Deere is smart.

I know.

I hope he's smart enough to let her go.

You have 90 seconds to get out of your house.

Andrew? Go to your window. Do it now.

Are you okay?

Go to your window. Now.

You just couldn't let it go, could you?
