All language subtitles for The Girlfriend Experience - S02E07 - Donors

FEMALE NARRATOR:
Previously on
The Girlfriend Experience...

KOSCIELNY:
Do you know
who Martin Hoban is?

ERICA:
The Canadian industrialist.

What's your relationship
with Hoban?

Let's just say we have
similar business interests.

As a non US citizen,
it's illegal for Mr. Hoban

to make donations
to US super PACS

and it's illegal for me
to accept them.

That won't be a problem.

I want you to delete
any correspondence between

Koscielny and Chiesurin,
everything.

Emails, texts, phone logs...

- Any record of this meeting.
- What's going on?

[ sighs ]
No...just do it.

What are you doing?

You know exactly what I'm doing.

I don't know
what she sees in you.

She received a donation
from Citizens First

a shell company
registered in Toronto

controlled by Martin Hoban,
a Canadian businessman.

It's all in there.

What did she
give him in return?

I don't know.

I need you to continue
monitoring her.

No way. You said this was it.

I can't.

Here.

I could lose my job.

No one will ever find out.

It's ten thousand dollars.

It's your choice,
if you don't want it

all you have to do is leave.

But if you continue,
you will make a lot of money.

Trust me, no one
will ever find out.

You want to be
on the right side of this.

There's one more thing.

She's an alcoholic.

She's drinking heavily
on the job

and it's getting out of control.

Erica Myles met
with Peter Koscielny

and personally solicited
the donation.

Here are the files
that show the transfer.

And it'd be good
to start leaking it.

Understood.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Well, the networks
are increasing coverage

which will mean more donors

which will be
crucial for Ohio...

[ clears throat ]

Can I talk to you for a second?

I've got to go.
Call you back.

- What is it?
- Look, uh...

I don't want to be an alarmist

but I've been hearing rumors
about Erica.

Aside from that mess
with the Attorney General

the FBI is apparently
looking into the donation

Erica solicited
from Peter Koscielny.

Erica!

We need to talk.

What is it?

I just spoke with Sam Perez.

He's hearing rumors
that the FBI

is looking into
the Koscielny donation.

- What?
- Are we at risk?

No, of course not.
I vetted him. He's clean.

- Are you sure?
- One thousand percent.

Then why are people talking?

I have no idea.
People talk all the time.

Well, you might want
to find out.

SANDRA:
I'll let her know
that you called.

I know.
That's the best I can do.

Yes, I passed that along,
and she will get back to you

as soon as she can. Yes...

I need to speak with you
in my office, now.

She'll get back to you.

Shut the door.

What do you know
about Martin Hoban?

Nothing. Who is he?

Is he behind Citizens First?

Did anyone ask you about him?

No.

- No one?
- No, no one.

Are you telling the truth?

Yes. What's going on?
You're scaring me.

Apparently, the FBI

are looking into
the Koscielny donation.

Oh, my God.

And if they find out who he is

I'm gonna be
in a lot of trouble.

Who is he?

I can't tell you,
but if they contact you

don't mention him
or the re-registration.

- Nothing.
- Okay.

You can't say anything.

I won't. Don't worry.

Okay.

Thanks.

Did anyone else contact you
about Martin Hoban?

No one. Why?

Apparently, the FBI
are looking into the donation.

If they contact you,
please don't tell them

that I asked you
to look into him.

I can't do that.
That would be illegal.

Come on, Matt.
No one has to know.

If you keep it to yourself,
they'll move on.

I already told you,
I can't do that.

And maybe it's better if you
find someone else to work with.

I don't think
I can help you anymore.

- Matt...
- I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Goodbye, Erica.

You look well.

I am.

You look tired.

I'm not sleeping...

...well these days.

Got some problems at work,
and Darya and I

parted ways for good.

- What happened?
- I don't know.

We realized it just
wasn't gonna work.

I guess we really never
loved each other.

I'm sorry to hear that.

- Don't be.
- Excuse me.

Hi there.

At 8:00? That's fine.

I'm really looking forward
to seeing you.

That sounds wonderful.
See you soon.

Bye.

Are you still pregnant?

No. I had an abortion.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

Maybe we can try again one day.

I'd really like
a child together.

Don't. I have to go.
I'm meeting a client soon.

Perhaps we could have
dinner one night?

I'm very busy. I have to go.

Can I call you?

I-I won't have time.
Good luck with work.

- Anna...
- Why are you here?

Because I love you.

And I'm so sorry
that I hurt you.

I...hate myself for that.

Please give us another chance.

I know that we can make it work

and that we can be happy.
I know that.

Leave me alone.

Please!

[ sobbing ]

[ doorbell rings ]

[ sighs ]

I'm sorry.

What do you want?

Just lie with me.

Did you miss me?

I missed you.

[ breathing heavily ]

Have a seat.

I wanna talk to you about Erica.

Okay.

I've been hearing rumors
about her.

Serious ones.
You work closely with her.

Yes, I do.

What do you know
about Peter Koscielny?

I don't know anything except

that he gave us
twenty-five million dollars.

Why?

I just need to know
what's going on.

I'm going to need
some incentive.

What do you want?

I hear Melissa Daniels
might be leaving.

I want to be considered
for her position.

Okay.

That twenty-five
million dollar donation

from Peter Koscielny
was actually just a front

for Martin Hoban,
a Canadian businessman

with substantial holdings
in the oil and gas

industry in Alberta.

Instead of reporting it,
Erica tried to bury it.

How?

She told me to delete
all records of her interactions

with Koscielny
and did the same herself.

Oh, and when I went
to her house

I found her blind drunk, and was
forced to shower her half-naked

because she could barely stand.

She's a trainwreck.

[ rattling ]

- It's not working.
- Here.

Let me try mine.

Thanks.

Where's Jim?
Do you know where he is?

No. I haven't seen him
since this morning.

I think he may out for the day,
but I'm not sure.

MELISSA:
He isn't happy at Craswell.
I know he'd agree to a meeting.

What's going on?
Why is my office locked?

Why doesn't my key card work?

SIMONS:
Can you give us a minute?

Are you gonna tell me?

Who are you calling? Security?

Why are you calling security?
Why are you calling security?

What's the matter, you can't
do your dirty work by yourself?

You got to call daddy
to come and fucking help you?

You've been terminated.

- On what grounds?
- Incompetence.

Insubordination,
unauthorized absences

and possible criminal behavior.

What criminal behavior?
What are you talking about?

- Don't embarrass yourself.
- What are you talking about?

Mr. Simons.

What criminal behavior?

We'll send you
your personal belongings

and you'll be hearing
from our attorneys.

Fuck you!

- Mardian, what's going on?
- Keep walking.

- Why am I being shut out?
- Can't talk about it.

Are the FBI coming after me?

Where did Perez
hear those rumors?

Who's he been talking to?

Jim, please!

Are they coming after me?

Yes.

What do they know?
Did you speak with them?

What do they know?

What did you tell them?

- What did you tell them?
- Back off!

Erica, we spoke on the phone.

- I'm Brent Crone.
- Hi.

Noah's gonna meet us
in the conference room.

Can I get you a water
or something?

- Uh, no, I'm good. Thanks.
- Okay.

What am I facing?

HUNT:
I really advise against

speculating at this point.

Just tell me.

What's the worst case scenario?

HUNT:
If, and again,
this is highly speculative

but if they charge you
with both soliciting

and receiving a donation
in violation

of the Federal Election
Campaign Act and convict you

you could be facing up to
10 years in a federal prison.

But it is way too early
in the process

to be making any assumptions.

They haven't even
charged you with anything.

Let's just take it
one step at a time.

Let me call over to the FBI and
see what they have, if anything.

I don't know
what I'm gonna do if anyone

looks into that transaction,
I'm fucked.

Maybe it is just a rumor.

But what if it's not?
What if it's true?

It will end my career,
I could go to prison.

I'm sure even you
can understand that.

What is that supposed to mean?

Don't make this about you.
Not now.

I'm fucked! What am I gonna do?

You know, I used to admire you.

I thought you were strong

but now I realize
how weak you really are.

You whine like a child.

You created this mess,
why don't you solve it

instead of drinking yourself
to death?

Because there isn't a solution.

Please don't start. Please.

Not now, I can't take it now.

I know I've got my faults
and I haven't

treated you well, but I...

- I love you.
- You hate me.

Just like you hate yourself.
You're full of hate.

No! It's not true. I love you.

I adore you.

You stink.

Kiss me.

There's nothing there.

I won't remember you.

I never remember anything
that hurts me.

[ door opens ]

[ wind blowing ]

[ glass shattering ]

[ Erica sighs ]

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Just remember you're here
on your own accord.

Don't react,
say as little as possible.

We just need to see
what they have. That's it.

Okay.

Is it safe to assume that
in your role as Finance Director

you are aware that soliciting
donations or accepting donations

from a foreign individual
or entity are federal crimes?

Yes.

What's your relationship
with Martin Hoban?

I don't know him.

- Have you ever met him?
- No.

Ever spoken to him or had

any correspondence
with him at all?

No.

Did you personally solicit
a donation

from him on behalf
of Right To Action?

- No.
- Are you sure?

My client already responded.

Did Right To Action accept

a donation from Citizens First

a company controlled
by Martin Hoban?

I'd have to check my records.

You don't recall
if Citizens First

made a twenty-five
million dollar donation

on October 4th

three and a half weeks ago?

You're badgering her.

RAKITIC:
It's a straightforward
question.

And she already responded.

I remind you, Miss Myles
came in here voluntarily

and she's
fully cooperating with you.

- Do you know a Sandra Fuchs?
- Yes.

- In what capacity?
- She's my assistant.

- At Right To Action?
- Yes.

RAKITIC:
Do you recall having
a conversation with her

this past Tuesday
about Martin Hoban

and a donation that he made
to Right To Action?

No.

ERICA:
Shut the door.

What do you know
about Martin Hoban?

SANDRA:
Nothing. Who is he?

Is he behind Citizens First?

ERICA:
Did anyone ask you about him?

SANDRA:
No.

- No one?
- No, no one.

ERICA:
Are you telling the truth?

SANDRA:
Yes. What's going on?
You're scaring me.

ERICA:
Apparently, the FBI

are looking into
the Koscielny donation.

SANDRA:
Oh, my God.

ERICA:
And if they find out who he is

I'm gonna be
in a lot of trouble.

SANDRA:
Who is he?

ERICA:
I can't tell you,
but if they contact you

don't mention him or
the re-registration. Nothing.

- Okay.
- You can't say anything.

SANDRA:
I won't, don't worry.

ERICA:
Okay. Thanks.

I need to use the restroom.

I'll be right back.
