You need to see this arrest report.

This arrest report.

Who got busted?

You know, I was just going
to give it to a friend.

Going to give it to a friend.

She's your sister.

Mom, she committed a felony.

Talk to someone. Make it go away.

Don't get involved.
And I can't intervene.

What is it?

My sister. I need a favor.

You're gonna keep
those checks coming.

Why would I possibly do that, dad?

Because I got a big mouth,
Mr. Winstone.

What's that family going to do

when they find out you've been
lying to them all these years?

Patty Hewes contacted me.

She wanted to know whether or
not I spent last Thanksgiving

with my mom.

Did you spend
Thanksgiving with her?

My mom made me promise
to never talk about it.

I still don't understand
about Thanksgiving.

Why would that lead
you to the money?

Well, we think we know where the
Tobins are hiding it: Antigua.

And Thanksgiving was Louis
Tobin's last chance to

move the money before he confessed.

Patty knows the money's in Antigua.

There's nothing to worry about,
as long as you

don't get greedy and start

spending the money anytime soon.

I don't see how this could
have anything to do with

the Tobins' money.

Why is she lying to us?

Patty?

What's for dinner?

How was school today, sweetheart?

Fine.

Did you pick those for me? Yeah.

Oh. They're so beautiful.

Let's put them in water.

You must be so hungry
after all that playing.

You wanna help me make dinner?

Can I stir the sauce?

Of course you can.

Be careful now- it's a
big spoon and really hot.

Go slow.

Like this?

Look at you.
You're such a big girl.

Nice and easy. Good job.

What's the matter,
Ellen? What's this?

That's you, sweetheart.

I just want to help.

So, tell me exactly what
happened leading up to the

arrest.

I should have told you
the truth in the first

place.

I'm sorry.

Uh, you remember my friend
Becky from-from High School?

Yeah, I remember.

Well, she's in a real
bad place, you know?

Just... on some shit
and she wanted meth.

So you gave her some?

I have no money, Ellen.

Ellen.

I couldn't... give it to her,
so sold her a little.

Have you ever sold before?

God, no. Never.

I was just trying to help a friend.

- And she gave you up?
- Yeah.

Show up, and they find more shit,
and I get arrested for

intent to distribute.

Is there anything
else I should know?

No. Nothing.

Well, I'll, um, I'll look at
the situation and see what

I can do.

I thought you said you
couldn't have anything to

you couldn't have anything
to do with this case.

I can't. But I've
found someone who can

I think I may know why
Tessa marchetti lied to us

about Thanksgiving.

You got her employment
records from the airline?

Take a look at her
November flight plan.

On Thanksgiving night,
Tessa flew to Antigua.

That was her first trip down.

And she's flown there
every week since.

How do you make sense of that?

Louis Tobin had to start moving

the money down there
before he confessed.

But Tessa didn't start making
those flights until after.

Maybe the money was
already down there.

And on Thanksgiving night,
Tessa started moving it out.

Come in.

I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I'm afraid

it's urgent.

- Yes?
- The Tobin

the Tobin plaintiffs have demanded

plaintiffs have demanded a meeting.

Patty Hewes approached
Tessa marchetti.

How do you know that?

Tessa told your mother.

They've become friendly.

Been having lunch together.

What did Tessa tell Patty Hewes?

Apparently, she kept
her mouth shut and

protected the family.

I'll talk to my mother.
I don't want her having any

more contact with Tessa.

- I agree.
- The girl lied for us.

I should thank her.

Look, Ms. Hewes, this isn't
personal, but you people

are not getting the job done.

I'm aware of the hardships
each of you is facing

every day.
And I sympathize with the

fact that...

We don't need your sympathy.
We need money.

You've already sold the
Tobins' assets and holdings.

Why don't you just give us
what you were able to recover?

Our goal is to make you
financially whole again.

If we stop pursuing the
Tobins now, we won't be

able to do that.

Ms. Benjamin.

If the money were to be
distributed today, each

of the thousands of victims

would receive less than three
percent of your individual

losses.

As I've said from the start,
we believe there is

more money out there.

A lot more.

Well, maybe another attorney
would have better luck

finding it.

We have asked the
court to replace you.

Th-that's a mistake.

We want a new lawyer taking over.

I'm sorry.

I wish it didn't
have to be like this.

This woman was totally hammered,
so she orders piña

coladas for everyone on the plane.

Everybody loves a party.

Yeah, but we don't
even have piña coladas.

So then she starts freaking
out and yelling at everyone...

Tessa? Uh, I don't
mean to interrupt.

I'm Joe.

You're Louis Tobin's son.

I don't mean to bother you.

I was hoping we could talk.

Hey, um, I'm going to
meet you inside, okay?

Yeah, sure. You okay?

I thought I wasn't
supposed to talk to you.

I know. But things
are different now.

But things are different now.
I wanted us to meet.

Your father was always
wonderful to me and my

mom.

None of that's going to change.

My family's still here for you.

Okay. Thank you.

I know you've been
seeing my mother.

She told me Patty Hewes asked
you about Thanksgiving night.

I appreciated you...
Not talking to her about it.

- Sure.
- Was that your boyfriend?

Yeah.

You guys go and have
dinner somewhere special.

Enjoy yourself. Thanks.

And if you need anything else,
just let me know.

My number's in there.

So I guess this makes
you my half-brother.

I guess so.

Take care of yourself, Tessa.

You think Tessa
marchetti's been moving

money out of Antigua? Yeah.

So what are we going to do next?

- We pursue Tessa.
- Nothing.

Why?

Tobin's victims have filed
a petition to remove me

from the case.

Yeah, all the more reason
to keep going, to put

pressure on Tessa, find out why

she lied to us about Thanksgiving.

It's not the right time.

What are you talking about?

We've got no leverage.

So, what, we're going to
sit around and-and wait for

them to kick us off the case?

This could be our last chance.

It's my decision.

But it's the wrong decision!

Calm down, Tom.

Don't tell me to calm down.

We are not going to approach
Tessa marchetti now.

The victims have filed a petition.

We need to write a brief
to defend ourselves.

That's our priority.

Paperwork is not
going to solve this.

Did you get in touch with Malcolm?

I did. I set up a meeting.

He should be able to help
you with your sister.

Thank you. I'll see you, Patty.

They sent it back, Lenny.

The charity actually
sent it back to me.

What is that, sweetheart?

My check to the fund
for Africa's future.

Read it.

They won't let me go to Tanzania.

I've been going on that
annual trip for over a decade.

I know how much this
foundation means to you.

I'm sorry.

Yes, look at this. Kamil...

And ajabu... and imara.

I want to see my children, Lenny.

I understand, but if the
board doesn't want you

to go...

Oh, screw the goddamn board.

I've been sponsoring these
kids their whole lives.

They're my only purpose now.

All right, I'll see what I can do.

There's someone on the
board I think will be

sympathetic. Who's that?

Stuart zedeck.
He's an old friend of Louis'.

I don't know if
you've ever met him.

I haven't. But I'll track him down.

After all I've done
for that charity.

They cannot do this to me.
We'll Sue them.

Well, let's not get ahead
of ourselves, Marilyn.

I'm sure there's
something I can do.

The victims from the Tobin
fraud want to remove Patty

from the case. Why?

Because we're not
making enough progress.

I thought you found
that account in Antigua.

We did, but we can't touch it.

If we're removed from this case,
we'll never recover the money.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that we have to sell.

Sell what?

Everything, anything that
we don't absolutely need.

I took a... an offer
on the Lake house.

Did you want to ask me first?

Jesus...

We're taking care of your
parents' mortgage, my

parents' mortgage, your mother's

chemotherapy.

We may be supporting our
families for years until they

can get out from under this,
and it's all my fault.

I understand.

I just think we need to make
these decisions together.

There's nothing you
and Patty can do?

There's one possible witness,
but Patty doesn't think

we have enough leverage to

approach her. What do you think?

You guys go right in.
Why don't you get to work?

Maybe you'll accomplish
something today.

Can I get you guys some coffee?

What was that about?

He's pissed because I haven't
been able to link the

Tobins to Danielle
marcetti's death.

Those guys looked like detectives.

Gates is reinterviewing them.

He thinks I must have missed
something the first time around.

For your sake, I hope he's wrong.

The case stalled out.
We have no leads.

This is Leonard Winstone.

I need to talk to
you about Marilyn.

How's the girl holding up?

She's fine.
But she's upset about the

charitable foundation.
What happened?

Marilyn wrote a check
and it was sent back.

So what does she want?

She's passionate about
this charity, Mr. zedeck.

She's desperate to go on this
trip to Tanzania, and she wants

to approach the board herself.
I told her I'd handle it.

I told her I'd handle it.

I see.

I need your help.

Let me see what I could do.

How old is your sister?

- 34.
- Any priors?

No. Her husband
just left her with a

newborn. So she's
desperate and broke,

but she's never done
anything like this before.

This is her arrest report.

She sold narcotics to a friend?

Carrie's friend got busted,
then she copped a plea

and gave up Carrie.

If this woman testifies
in court to save her

own ass, your sister could
be looking at jail time.

Yeah, I know.

Patty said I should do
everything possible to make

sure that doesn't happen.
You understand what that means?

Yes, but I don't want you
doing anything without

talking to me first. Understood.

Let me do some legwork,
see what I can find on the friend.

Hopefully, she won't
hold up as a witness.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for your sister.

And for you.

I'll be in touch.

At the australian open
over the weekend, the

championship matches were played

in temperatures well
over 100 degrees.

As Craig lamolt reports from
member station wshu, there was a

different kind of tennis
championship heading into this

weekend. A very different...

A very different...

Thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.

I'm really not sure what you want.

I already told you
everything that I know.

No, you lied to us.

We know you spent
Thanksgiving with your mother.

Sit down.

If you want to arrest me,
you can go ahead.

Listen, I'm not interested
in having you arrested.

I want you to know the truth
about the Tobin family.

Yeah, what's that?

They had your mother killed.

My mother was in a car accident.

When she was released from
the hospital, the doctors

said she would make
a full recovery.

She had brain surgery.
There were complications.

She died of heart failure.

That's not why she died.

It was only made to look that way.

The Tobins murdered her
to protect their money.

You don't know those people.

You don't understand who
you're dealing with.

My mother died because
the doctors screwed up.

It had nothing to
do with the Tobins.

Just tell me the truth
about Thanksgiving.

I don't need you
or your protection.

How many rocks? Neat.

You are so goddamn beautiful.

Look at you.

Yes.

Tell me I'm not rascist.

I told you never to phone here.

I said, tell me I'm not a rascist.

Just give me a second,
will you, sweetheart?

Thanks. Sure.

What are you talking about?

I got a mailman name of chung.

Now either I'm a racist,
or he's been stealing those checks

you've been sending me.

You have been sending me checks,
haven't you?

No.

I thought I made myself clear.

I got a big mouth.

I'd hate to accidentally
open it to the Tobins.

Don't threaten me.

You're not getting shit.

I honestly thought you
were smarter than that.

Listen to me, I do not know
what the hell you think

you're doing.

I'm disappointed in you.

Dad... dad!

Thank you, Johnny.

You want to get lunch?

Lunch?

Uh, no, I can't I'm too busy.

Sorry. Next time.

That's what you said the last time.

Did I?

You run a pretty good racket,
but I think I'm on to you.

- Excuse me, sir.
- Can I help you?

I'd like to speak to someone
about an investigation

you're conducting.

- Okay, and you are?
- Tessa marchetti.

Was my mother's death a homicide?

The medical examiner's results were

inconclusive.

Are the Tobins being
investigated for her death?

The investigation is ongoing,
Ms. marchetti.

I'm sorry, we're not at liberty
to discuss the details.

Because I was approached
by an attorney who

said the Tobins killed her.

An attorney? Did you get a name?

His name is Tom shayes.

He works with Patty Hewes.

I'm very sorry he approached you,
Ms. marchetti,

but those allegations
are entirely unfounded.

I promise you.

Why don't we get your
contact information and

we'll be in touch if there's
any new developments.

Here.

Thank you for coming in.

I'm sorry you had to
go through all of this.

Tom shayes? Is that the
guy you had me do a

favor for a while back?

- Nick...
- Don't answer that.

Actually, I have a better question.

Why is Patty Hewes tampering
with our investigation?

I've no idea. I...

Is Patty Hewes the
reason we've stalled out?

No, it's because of Patty
that I'm making progress.

I told gates to follow her lead.
He wouldn't listen to me.

What are you doing?

Please don't go to
gates about this.

Well, you're not leaving
me much of a choice.

You're working with Patty
Hewes behind our backs.

I'm not working with her-
I'm using her.

She's better than gates.

Patty will find what she needs
to bring down the Tobins, trust

me. And when she does, I will have

access to it.

And we will have enough
to make an arrest.

If you don't go to gates with this,
I can share the

credit with you.

We both know a bust like
this can make a career.

Do what you have to.

I'm in.

I'm in. I can't believe we're even

I can't believe we're even
considering letting Marilyn

Tobin go on the trip.

There's no evidence that Mrs.
Tobin knew about the fraud.

And Mrs. Tobin was always
a dedicated member of

this foundation.

Oh, come on.

Our public relations
would be a disaster.

Let's put it to a vote, okay?

I'm fine with that.

Who doesn't want Marilyn
Tobin to go to Africa?

That's five against. Okay.

And who thinks she
should be allowed to go?

And five in favor.

Stu, you can't abstain.
You're the deciding vote.

I'm sorry to say it, but...

I think she should stay home.

I don't want her anywhere
near this charity.

If I hadn't been there,
Tessa would have talked

to gates!

I took a risk.

Patty was very clear...

Look, Patty has not
lost her life savings.

Her family's not falling apart
because of these assholes.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Shayes no, I'm-I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have pushed Tessa.
It backfired, and I-I screwed

up.

I'll, uh, I'll... I'll tell Patty.

No. Don't.

And if she finds out,
blame it on me.

I'm not gonna do that.

What is she gonna do, fire me?

Thank you.

And don't worry about Tessa.

I'll take care of her.
I got to get back to work.

So you think the Tobins
are using this Tessa

marchetti to move their
money out of Antigua.

Yes. And we're working on
securing her cooperation.

I'm sorry, this doesn't cut it.

I already warned you once,
and you haven't made any more

progress.

Your job is to recoup the
money and distribute it.

That's just not happening.
And I'm sorry to say, the

plaintiff's arguments to
replace you is damn persuasive.

I can't distribute the money
fairly until I know how

much is there.

What if you're wrong
about this Tobin account?

Many of these victims are
in dire financial straits.

They need whatever they can get,
and they need it now.

I could always use my own
resources to go after the

Tobins.

Operate outside the bounds
of my courtroom, Patty...

I'll have you disbarred.

Your honor, when I find
the Tobins' money, nobody

is gonna care about how I did it.

Consider yourself warned.

You have one week.

Tessa marchetti doesn't pan out,
you're off the case.

Did you pick those for me?

Did you pick those for me?
For me? For me?

I'm sorry, Marilyn.
You can't go to Tanzania.

I don't understand.
Did you talk to Mr. zedeck?

Yes. He said he did everything
he could to convince

the board, but he couldn't
change their minds.

There's an Albert
wiggins here to see you.

Says he's an old friend.

Tell him I'm with a client.

I'll have to get back to him.
Who was that?

No one important.

Mr. wiggins, I said
you can't go in there.

I'm sorry, Lenny.
I know I'm being rude, but...

I just got into town
and I had to say hello.

This is not a good time.

You must be Marilyn Tobin.

It's a pleasure to finally
meet you in person.

Your lawyer has told me such
lovely things about you over the

years.

I'm sorry, I don't recall
Lenny mentioning you.

Leonard was my student
at law school.

The finest brain I ever
had the pleasure to teach.

Really?

And are you just in town visiting?

The truth of the matter is,
my lovely wife passed

away recently, so...

I'm thinking of
retiring to the city.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife,
but Mrs. Tobin

and I are in the middle
of something here.

Of course, of course.

Um, I'll... get out of your hair.

I just wanted you to
know I'll be around.

I'm looking forward
to a chat sometime.

Soon.

- Hi, mom.
- Hi, sweetie.

Where's dad?

He's downstairs double-parked.

I'm just gonna grab my coat.

How you doing?

I can't lie,
we're both worried sick.

We have so many questions for you.

Your father went online to find
out about drug charges and court

out about drug charges and court
proceedings and everything, but

proceedings and everything,
but it's just so confusing.

Please be patient with us.
Of course, mom.

Hey, do you know who that is?

Oh, my goodness,
where did you find this?

In some old stuff. Who is she?

Oh, she babysat for you
and Carrie years ago.

You were very young.
Let's go, your father's waiting.

- What was her name?
- Uh, I don't know.

Uh, I don't know. Um... Anne...

Something. I don't remember.

It was so long ago, sweetheart.

I've been having dreams about her.

Oh, really?

Did I ever sleep at her house?

What? No, of course not.

Because I think I
remember sleeping there.

Well... I don't remember.

Now, come on, before
your father gets angry.

Could I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, about what?

Ellen Parsons. Go on.

She's been talking to Patty Hewes.

So, what did you find out?

Your sister's lying to you.

She's knee-deep in this shit.

How so?

This isn't a onetime thing.

Onetime thing. She's
been selling for a while.

So this witness is
telling the truth?

Well, she's no saint,
either, but it looks like

she's on the level. Unbelievable.

There are still things
you can do to apply

pressure, make this witness
think twice about testifying.

Unless... you've had
a change of heart.

You know what,
I think I'll just handle it

myself.

And that other thing?

Her name's Anne Connel.

What were you able to find?

Not much. All I could
get was an address.

It's about a hundred
miles out of the city.

Out of the city. Thank you.

Thank you for handling
Marilyn's situation.

How'd she take it?

Not well.

I feel bad about it, but,
uh, it's for her own good.

We got to keep her
away from the charity.

The less scrutiny, the better.

Understood.

I always liked her.

She means well. But...

She talks too much.

- You got my lunch?
- Egg salad on rye.

They were all out of pumpernickel.

You hungry?
You want half a sandwich?

No, no, no, thank you.

Here you go, Mr. Winstone.

For now, we're going to
have to keep doing this a

little at a time.

Of course. The Tobins
will be grateful.

So, Malcolm came through for me.

And?

My sister was lying
about everything.

I'm sorry.

Maybe she deserves to go to jail.

I don't know,
help straighten her out.

She has a baby, and...
My parents would be devastated.

What would you do?

Ellen, my husband is gone,
and my unemployed teenage

son is about to be a father.

I think you might want to ask
someone else for family advice.

At least corey stuck by you.

How do you think Tom is doing?

Do you speak to him much? No,
not really.

He's been so tense lately.

Have a hole over there.

So are you going ahead
with the renovation?

Oh, yeah. I haven't
made a decision yet.

I wanted to ask you something.

Do you know who this woman is?

Where did you find that?

That's what mom wanted to know.

You showed this to mom?

Shouldn't have done that.

Why? Do you know who she is?

What did mom tell you about her?

She said that she used
to babysit for me.

Then I guess she did.
I only remember seeing her once

or twice, and mom never
liked talking about her.

You know, when we were kids,
you used to tell me I

was adopted. I was just screwing

with you.

Jesus, Ellen, you weren't adopted.

You have the same stupid
parents I do, okay?

Parents I do,
okay? You're a Parsons.

Forget about that woman
and deal with it.

Now, can you help me
with my case or not?

Yes, I can. But I'm not going to.

Why not?

You did this to yourself.

So don't blame me.
Or mom or dad or anyone else,

for that matter.

You put yourself in here.
Deal with the consequences.

This city's a shithole.

What do you care? You're leaving.

Finish your drink, then I'm
putting you on a bus back home.

Thanks. But I ain't leaving, kid.

Listen to me. I have connections.

I know people who can hurt you.

Yeah. I just have
to pick up a phone.

Another round?

Just keep them coming.

When you left, I thought
you were getting out of the

business.

Just turning your back
on your dear ol' dad.

But, hell, you're pulling
the biggest con of all.

No, this is my job, dad.

I'm an attorney.

And the Tobins aren't marks,
they're clients.

Right.

They're more than clients,
they're...

Clients, they're... what, family?

My son's buying.
He's a big shot lawyer.

Long or short, a con's a con.

This may come as a surprise,
but I didn't come here to spoil

your game.

There is no game.

Shit.

Louis Tobin- what he got away with.

The guy's better than both of us.

There's no way he wasn't gonna
stash away something before he

kicked.

- He didn't.
- Horseshit!

There's money. And I want in.

- Ms. Parsons.
- Tessa.

Why are we not meeting
in your office?

I could lose my job.

So this meeting never
took place, okay?

I understand.

The truth is, we do
believe the Tobins were

involved in your mother's death.

Why do you think that?

I can't give you specifics, but...

I'm concerned for your safety.
What should I do?

Thank you, Ms. Parsons.

So we have one week,
then the judge is just gonna

dump us?

Yes, it seems that judge
Reilly and the victims

have lost their confidence in us.

Us.

That-that-that is bullshit.

Hello.

This is Tessa marchetti.

I want to talk to you again.

Okay, Tessa.
I'd be happy to see you.

I'm just a couple blocks
away from your office.

Why don't you come on over.

I'll be waiting.

- All right.
- Tessa.

Everything's going to be fine.
I'm on my way.

I wonder why she decided to talk.

I have no idea.

Call office.

District attorney.

Hi, it's Ellen Parsons.

Could you tell Curtis gates I
won't be coming in tomorrow?

Sure, miss Parsons.
Can I tell him why?

Tell him I'm out of town
on an investigation.

Certainly. Thank you.

Tessa marchetti? Yes.

Come with us, please.

- Where is she?
- Call her.

You're under arrest.

Don't answer that.
