Original subtitles

- I understand if you have concerns,

but if I've learned one thing in my life, it's this.

It's all a matter of perspective.

You see some things are good for one person

and bad for another and who gets to make the call?

You can spend your time trying to determine

what side you're on or you can just focus on what works.

Because if it's working, why does it matter?

Maria, thank you so much for the visit

and the coffee and hearing your concerns.

What was your husband's name again?

- Pedro. - Pedro.

This is the last offer will come.

I will have the city take your house.

Well you might think you can go through courts,

but lawyers are mucho expensive and while you do that,

I'll have your entire familia investigated.

And if one of them fails to produce only one document,

I'll see you on the next bus.

You're doing it wrong.

- These are the details of the offer.

It expires this afternoon, you should take it.

Think of your sons, be a good mother.

Call the phone number at the top when you're ready

and we'll get everything moving forward.

- Coming?

- Nick?

- I can't, I just can't.

- Nick it's time to put your big boy pants on, and come on.

- How can you do this?

- If it's not us then it's just someone else.

You can't do anything from the outside.

You have to think of the big picture.

- If this is what it takes to get there,

is it really worth the accomplishment?

- There are always sacrifices.

(door knocking)

(gunshots firing)

- [Paula] Thought you might wanna take the day off.

- [Harper] Did you do it?

- Will be so sad, tearing this place down.

I used to dream of bringing my children here.

I saw the parents with their kids.

Always having such a great time.

What I wanted was so simple.

Small.

It was weak, I was weak.

The question you should be asking is could you do it?

- [Harper] We can't be weak now.

(dramatic music)

(door knocking)

- Harper? - I need your help.

(dramatic music)

- Corruption at the highest level.

District attorney Shutt thinks that might be the case,

after the discovery of documents implying connections

between various local and state officials,

as well as several large companies including Enterion.

While the documents are not fully corroborated,

the DA believes it's only a matter of time

before there's a possible indictment.

(phone ringing)

- It's Byrd, again.

(dramatic music)

- How soon can your man act? - An hour.

But he wants something, it's a little strange.

- Make the call.

(dramatic music)

- Don't freak out boy-o, this is one party

you're gonna wanna miss.

(door knocking)

- Hey. - Hi there.

- Come on in.

(dramatic music)

I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick.

Did you bring the stuff?

Nice, be right back.

(dramatic music)

- Hi there.

I'm Steven Mayhew, what are you doing here?

- Not what you think.

- Oh I think we have pretty good idea.

We've been chatting for months.

- Do you enjoy this, I bet you do.

I bet you got all tingly when I came through the door.

- You came to see a girl you believed to be 15.

- I never thought she was 15.

(dogs barking)

- Darwin898 thought she was 15, how old are you?

- Now Steven, that's rude.

- You sent her photos of herself.

- No I didn't.

Can you show that on TV?

- So you've seen my show?

- Everyone's seen your show Steven Mayhew, you're a star.

- Sending photos like this to young girls,

soliciting from them, that's not only illegal,

but immoral. - Do you ever speed, Steven?

- Are you comparing speeding in a car to this?

- Steven, listen, the worst thing

that you can do to yourself is believe you're above

what you're really are.

I mean you've been to elementary school, you know.

- I know what?

- Okay, for millions of years there was nothing but soup.

And then one day, poof, there were monkeys.

And one day some of these monkeys got together

and decided to make some rules, rules that got enforced

because there was enough monkeys on board

to enforce them, I mean that's all your morals

and rules really are, I mean age of consent is what?

18, why not 17, or 19, or 11, I mean just look

how crazy things have gotten over marriage.

I mean one day things are like this,

the next, not so much, morals, rules,

whatever you want to call them, they come and go,

depending on who the strongest monkey is.

- Unfortunately for you, you're not the strongest monkey.

And they're waiting for you outside.

- Oh Steven, I'm counting on it.

(man screaming)

(gunshots firing)

(dog barking)

How's that for ratings, Steven!

- [District Attorney] What can I do for the SEC?

- [Male Voice] Well first, thank you for meeting with us,

Mr. District attorney.

This is Dave Martin, FBI.

- Nice to meet you.

- And Mary Popins with the Sheriff's office.

Yes her name is actually Mary Popins.

- Popins, one P, has nothing to do with the character.

It's a family name, actually the original, Popins,

but nobody ever, it's very nice to meet you sir.

- And this is Jimmy. - Jim.

- Now we've been looking into Enterion

for the past four months, and we know

there is cash both coming in and going out

that we can't account for.

- The juice box is Enterion.

- Large amounts, looked into board members,

there's no money to be found, it's all gone.

Enterion is the parent to many companies,

but one of them just happens to be

Cross Mission Construction.

Mayor Byrd and the cities office have been in

full on promotion for this new stadium,

ever since the imminent domain land deal right?

And the city has just selected the construction

for this stadium, which just happens to be?

- Cross Mission, the company, not the little toys.

- Also, the pro stadium movement

have spent almost three millions dollars up to date.

And that money's not coming from the city.

It's coming from PAC's.

- Where we can't look at the donor list.

- That money is coming from somewhere.

We heard that you had documents suggesting ties

between Enterion and the mayor?

- It's uncorroborated, but we are looking at it.

- I believe that Foust, Byrd, Enterion,

Cross Mission, stadium deal, they're all linked somehow.

And I would propose that our departments

pull their resources on this.

- If we don't, we're stuck.

We got no jurisdiction with Foust, or the mayor.

Unless someone from Enterion opens their door up

and says look here, we're out of luck.

- And that's not gonna happen.

(dramatic music)

- What's going on? - Calm down Byrd.

- Don't tell me to calm down.

- Listen, you may be the mayor,

I will still tear off your face and wear it like a hat.

- Hey, we need this off the news right now.

- It's been dealt with as we speak.

- You're supposed to handle things.

There were promises.

- We don't know what they have, okay.

Could be nothing more than speculations.

They didn't give any details.

- That doesn't mean they don't have something.

- We wait.

- [Chubbs] What?

- If they have anything substantial,

they will bring it up at tomorrow's hearing,

and if not, and the DA's fishing,

we know we are clear.

- I don't feel comfortable with this.

Doesn't anybody else have a problem with this?

She makes one mistake! - I was there.

Nothing happened, I don't even know why

they subpoenaed me. - It's a hearing.

She will go there, puts a pretty face on the news,

says the right soundbites and this whole thing

could go away.

- Are you crazy, she can't testify!

We can't open that door!

- I'm with Byrd, if she doesn't show up,

they can't ask questions, could be an ambush.

- Thank you.

- If she misses the hearing, the news will assume guilt

and that we're hiding something.

This whole thing won't go away, it will blow up.

- It can blow up either way.

Better our chances if we know what they know.

Chubbs, how long would it take to gather some intel

from your friends?

- A day or two.

- I'm not gambling this election

on a testimony of one of your people

or if the DA is fishing, no I'm making the call on this.

Your girl doesn't go.

- They will issue a bench warrant

and show up at the office right at nine a.m.,

along with a reporter, is that what you want?

- I don't care about a fine.

- At least buy us some time.

- Two days, can claim a family emergency

and Harper can go and visit her grandparents or something.

But that's it okay, two days!

- You need to take care of that leak.

Scorched earth, anything they know,

anything that connects us, take care of your business.

I'ma go stand in front of a camera, and smile.

- This leak is getting out of control.

We need to clean house, wipe our servers.

I want everything gone, okay?

Let's assume the worst and start working backwards.

- Okay.

- Byrd is a nuisance but we wait.

Oh Harper I forgot, do you have grandparents?

- Yes.

Well they're dead actually.

- Oh I'm sorry.

Yeah Jules, get everyone together in 20.

- Mark, conference room, 20 minutes.

(phone ringing) (dramatic music)

- Hey what's up?

- The new posters are ready. - That was quick.

(dramatic music)

- I quickly wanted to say

thank you for all your fantastic work.

You have put so much effort into this campaign.

So thank you, I know we only pay you half

of what you deserve but you've all gone

the extra mile and I quickly wanted to let you know

personally how grateful I am so thank you,

thank you, thank you.

(dramatic music)

Now if you've watched the news this morning,

you've heard some pretty horribly untrue things

being said about this campaign.

They are simply speculation from an unidentified source.

Now with that being said, I hope that

you have a little bit of understanding

for what's about to happen.

(dramatic music)

- We need your phones.

- All office computers are being audited

this afternoon as well and we need you

to volunteer your phones.

(dramatic music)

- I told Mark, and he's not in his office.

- Okay, thank you. - I told him 20 minutes,

and he's nowhere to be found. - I'll find him.

- Do you want me to try to find?

(dramatic music)

- [Paula] So where will you stay?

- Sorry?

- You're welcome to stay at the lake house.

In fact you should, would make it easier for me

if I need to see you.

- You know I can handle the hearing?

- Byrd is already a problem, I don't wanna make it worse.

(upbeat Latin music)

- You working tomorrow? - Yeah.

(singing in foreign language)

- Can you do me a favor?

- The citywide search continues for a man wanted

for the slaying of three police officers,

and injuring four others including reporter

Steven Mayhew earlier this morning.

- Get Tig on the phone.

- The phone's in the box. - What?

- My phone, it's in the box.

(dramatic music)

- Hello, hello everyone, hello, sit down.

Pinch the top to make it stop.

Good boy.

(dramatic music)

Now I got a question about your slogan.

Family first Foust?

It's very unpleasant to say.

You don't have any family. - What do you want?

- I came for my fee. - Your fee?

- Don't act so surprised.

See I did my part of the bargain.

As a matter of fact, you could say,

that I went above and beyond.

There's not a hint of you or your little cronies

in the news, now think after this?

Probably nothing for a long while.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- Just take a moment okay and look

at how you have to work to convince these people

you're anything other than what you are?

You put on a show, you play the part until you're exhausted,

and then in the end, they're just gonna vote you out.

Or your little friends start talking,

and then you wake up to a knife in your back.

- I think you might be confused sir.

- I can give you what you want, what you really want,

and in return, I only want one thing.

(dramatic music)

- I can't give you that.

- Well not yet, just think about it.

Oh and my fee, I still want it.

- Did anyone call the police?

- [Worker] You took our phones!

- [Harper] Well let's go, go get one!

- Stop sitting here, someone call the police!

Harper, you need to leave now.

- What?

- You can't just be here when the police shows up.

(dramatic music) (phone ringing)

- Welcome back.

Mark.

You were someplace you were not supposed to be today.

- It's already gone. - That's too bad.

You know I need to know who you're working with.

- You know I won't tell you. - I know.

(dramatic music)

You ever wonder about the flavors

they put on the side of dog food bags?

- Understand Jenny that the mayor's office and I,

we have worked very hard to bring this stadium

to this great city, it will provide 8000 new jobs,

new revenue streams, it will raise property values

and so many other good things.

(doorbell rings)

- Ms. Ross, Hi, I'm Carl, this is Jimmy.

- Jim, people call me Jim.

- Hi.

- Jimmy and I are with the SEC.

- The SEC?

- We're investigating possible fraud in Enterion

and we were hoping we could ask you some questions.

- Now is not really the best time.

- We can talk after the hearing tomorrow.

- You're gonna be there, we're gonna be there,

we can talk over salads. - I'll be there, thanks.

- Talk over salads.

(dramatic music)

- Not to add more to your plate but,

we need to address Byrd, he's panicking.

Saying things that he shouldn't say.

- Chubbs!

Make up your mind, I mean it's now or never.

- You should reconsider. - You're kidding.

Do you not see the mess she's getting us into?

We could lose everything if we don't do something now.

- You know Byrd, he's always running his mouth,

he's looking for a way out.

(dramatic music) (blood squelching)

(dramatic music) (floor hitting)

(dramatic music)

- Beat it big boy. - Your fee.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

- Chubbs, what are you doing, Chubbs!

- Do you know what she told me when she called?

She said, "He has to go, he fulfilled his purpose."

Like you could be discarded like an old pair of shoes,

and it made me wonder, if this is your purpose,

what do you think is mine?

- Listen man whatever's she's paying you, I can double.

- It can't be about money because, it's no good

where you're going. - I have kids.

- Leaving behind a better world?

No stop giving the planet emotions.

It does not care, it's a rock mayor.

Here's what I think, I think that it is all sound and rage

And then nothing.

(blood squelching) (glass breaking)

(dramatic music)

- Mark?

(dramatic music)

- You stupid girl.

(upbeat dramatic music)
