"BOORMAN:" "That lawyer, Ellen Parsons" " We need to find a way to keep Sanchez away from her." "ERICKSON:" "What are you suggesting?" "BOORMAN:" "Redeploy him." "CARTER:" "So what do we do now?" "Look for some mullah that doesn't exist?" "ERICKSON:" "Let him chase his tail for a while!" "As long as he's over there, we're fine for now." "PARSONS:" "I can't drag Chris through the fire without any resources." "HEWES:" "And what would you do if you could find the resources?" "PARSONS:" "I'd try the case." "HEWES:" "Use my firm, my resources." "Let me help you." "I owe it to you." "He's my only child." "He ran away three years ago and left me with his baby daughter to take care of."

"MICHAEL:" "Can you just get the fucking keys?" "!" "TANYA:" "You want to know about Michael?" "Did my father send you?" "HUNTLEY:" "No." "I'm working with, uh, Michael's mom, Patty Hewes." "She hasn't heard from him in some time, and I was hoping, uh, maybe you could answer some questions?" "TANYA:" "Okay." "HUNTLEY:" "When was the last time you were in-in touch with Michael?" "TANYA:" "Well, he borrowed my car a few years ago." "That's the last time I saw him." "HUNTLEY:" "For how long?" "TANYA:" "He never brought it back." "HUNTLEY:" "And you reported it stolen?" "TANYA:" "My dad did, but the police never found it, no." "HUNTLEY:" "And that was the last time you were in touch with Michael?" "TANYA:" "We're not exactly friends anymore." "The guy stole my car." "HUNTLEY:" "And he didn't tell you where he was going?" "TANYA:" "Uh, no, and he never returned my calls, e-mails, texts." "He just took the car and disappeared." "He's an asshole."

"HEWES:" "And what did Tanya have to say?" "HUNTLEY:" "Well, she, uh, lent Michael her car just before he disappeared." "And I-I think she may be the last person who saw him before he left the city." "But she hasn't heard from him since." "HEWES:" "Did she know where he was going?" "HUNTLEY:" "No." "No." "But I'm fairly certain he went to Boston." "HEWES:" "Why do you say that?" "HUNTLEY:" "Well, I went through that list of, uh, Michael's friends you gave me, and most of them are away at school and didn't really keep up with him, so I tried the social networks." "You're not online." "I tried to "friend" you, but you don't..." "you don't have a page." "HEWES:" "No, I don't." "HUNTLEY:" "You know, it's just extraordinary, the whole paradigm shift in the way people relate." "I just..." "I really think you should..." "should try it." "HEWES:" "Did you find anything?" "HUNTLEY:" "Um, yeah." "The..." "Have you ever met a Henry Thain?" "HEWES:" "Yeah, he and Michael were best friends since they were 11." "HUNTLEY:" "Well, a couple years back, one of Henry's old" "Facebook postings read," ""M.H. appeared out of nowhere." "Needed a place to stay."" "And that was right around the time that Michael, uh, disappeared, and..." "Henry was a freshman at B.U. at the time." "HEWES:" "So, do you think there's a chance that Michael is still in Boston?" "HUNTLEY:" "Well, I-I poked Henry to find out, but he never responded, so I'd like to go to Boston and talk to him face-to-face." "HEWES:" "I'd like to go with you." "HUNTLEY:" "Well, that's not really necessary." "HEWES:" "It's my son we're talking about." "(Catherine caughing over baby monitor)" "Anyway, Catherine's sick." "She has a fever." "HUNTLEY:" "They catch everything at that age, don't they?" "HEWES:" "And besides, I don't have a nanny and I... don't have anyone I trust that I can..." "leave her with." "HENRY:" "Dude, you're rich." "Use your credit card, get a hotel room." "MICHAEL:" "I can't." "They can trace it." "I don't want anybody to find me." "HENRY:" "What, are you some kind of fucking spy?" "What the fuck are you running from?" "MICHAEL:" "No one." "Just... forget it!" "HENRY:" "Even if my roommates agree, the R.A.'s this gay dude who's like the fucking Gestapo." "I'm on a shit list for partying in my room." "MICHAEL:" "Fuck it." "HENRY:" "What?" "What are you gonna do?" "MICHAEL:" "Do you really care?" "HENRY:" "Go back to New York." "(horn honks)" "(traffic passing by)" "(vehicle approaching)" "CARTER:" "You wanted to see that intel on Nur Taraki?" "(Sanchez sighs)" "SANCHEZ:" "Who compiled this?" "CARTER:" "Boorman sent it." "SANCHEZ:" "There's a hundred different sources here." "You know how long it would take to check all these?" "CARTER:" "It's a fluid situation." "I doubt the Mullah's in one place for more than a day." "SANCHEZ:" "I don't trust Boorman with any of this shit." "CARTER:" "Why would he lie?" "SANCHEZ:" "I got my own contact on the ground." "CARTER:" "Who?" "SANCHEZ:" "You don't know him." "Someone I used to go to for my own intel." "CARTER:" "Good." "Let's go." "SANCHEZ:" "This is a personal relationship, A.C." "I need to go alone." "SHAW:" "Your Honor, Ms. Parsons' entire case is based on a single witness, Christopher Sanchez, who will supposedly testify to an alleged event." "There is no other evidence supporting the plaintiffs' claim." "PARSONS:" "When Mr. Sanchez came forward as a witness, he claimed that High Star was involved in illegal activity that directly led to the deaths of three men." "SHAW:" "Then why did he go back to work for the company?" "PAWLOWSKI:" "Thank you, Mr. Shaw." "I'll ask the questions." "SHAW:" "Your Honor, Mr. Sanchez recently redeployed to Afghanistan." "PARSONS:" "It's my belief that he was coerced into redeploying." "PAWLOWSKI:" "And that belief is based on what?" "PARSONS:" "Mr. Sanchez has been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder." "He was prescribed medication by his doctor who was later killed under suspicious circumstances." "SHAW: "Suspicious"?" "What are you implying?" "PARSONS:" "Mr. Sanchez believes that High Star may have been responsible for his doctor's death." "SHAW:" "Keep it up, and I'll have a slander suit filed against you by lunch." "PARSONS:" "Given the circumstances, it simply defies logic that Mr. Sanchez would redeploy on his own volition." "SHAW:" "I have his contract right here, with his signature." "PARSONS:" "All I'm asking, Your Honor, is that you not dismiss this case until my witness has had the opportunity to go on the record." "PAWLOWSKI:" "How would you suggest that we do that?" "He's in Afghanistan." "PARSONS:" "He's working for High Star." "They must have access to him." "SHAW:" "No, we don't." "Mr. Sanchez is out in the field on a six-month contract." "His assignment requires clandestine movement all over the country, sometimes at a moment's notice." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Ms. Parsons, you're going to have to wait." "Six months won't kill your case." "PARSONS:" "But it could kill my witness." "He is in a war zone." "He could die at any time." "For all I know, the company's already had him killed." "SHAW:" "Your Honor, this is outrageous." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Be careful, Ms. Parsons." "PARSONS:" "Can you prove that he's alive?" "SHAW:" "Of course we can." "PARSONS:" "Well, then you must know where he is." "Why can't the company produce him?" "PAWLOWSKI:" "It's a good point, Mr. Shaw." "SHAW:" "Your Honor..." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Are you able to produce him or not?" "SHAW:" "If necessary." "PAWLOWSKI:" "I want to hear what Mr. Sanchez has to say." "I'll give you 48 hours to produce him via video-link." "SHAW: 48 hours?" "I don't know that that's possible." "PAWLOWSKI:" "I think you can find a way." "PARSONS:" "Thank you, Your Honor." "ERICKSON:" "The judge is ordering me to produce Sanchez in court." "BOORMAN:" "Sounds like your attorney's doing a bang-up job getting this thing dismissed." "Ellen Parsons is back working out of Patty Hewes' firm." "ERICKSON:" "How do you know?" "BOORMAN:" "I got her cell phone tapped." "ERICKSON:" "Ellen Parsons filed the case alone." "BOORMAN:" "Patty Hewes has got to be putting her up as a front." "ERICKSON:" "I don't like this lawsuit." "I think it may be time for me to get my check book out." "BOORMAN:" "You're already paying Sanchez." "ERICKSON:" "I'm not talking Sanchez." "I want to offer the families a settlement." "BOORMAN:" "Good idea, Howard." "ERICKSON:" "I never liked that last mission." "The risk factor was off the chart." "BOORMAN:" "We had a small window of opportunity." "We had to go in." "ERICKSON:" "The asset we pulled out, was he worth it?" "BOORMAN:" "Absolutely." "We're getting quality intel out of him." "ERICKSON:" "You still have the guy?" "BOORMAN:" "He's under our control." "(classical music playing)" "BOORMAN:" "I got you an egg sandwich." "I think, uh..." "I think you're gonna like it." "And you've been very cooperative, so I threw in some dessert." "(door squeaking)" "PARSONS:" "Howard Erickson called." "He wants to meet with me." "HEWES:" "Interesting." "PARSONS:" "Without his attorney." "HEWES:" "That's unethical." "PARSONS:" "Highly unethical." "HEWES:" "If the judge finds out, you'll get thrown off the case." "You and Erickson can't meet alone." "PARSONS:" "That's why I want you to go for me." "HEWES:" "Me?" "PARSONS:" "You'd enjoy that, right?" "Sitting across from Howard Erickson." "Finding out what he's up to." "PARSONS:" "Come on, Patty." "It'd be fun for you." "And I would love to get your take on him." "HEWES:" "I'm sure you would." "PARSONS:" "So, you're not gonna do this for me?" "HEWES:" "No reason to." "PARSONS:" "I can think of one." "ZAFAR MARWAT:" "Eat some more, Chris." "SANCHEZ:" "No." "Really, I'm stuffed." "It was delicious." "(speaking Pashto)" "ZAFAR:" "Good Pashto." "(repeats what Sanchez just said)" "We are very happy to have you here, very happy." "SANCHEZ:" "How are things in the province?" "ZAFAR:" "Not very good." "There is no safety, little food, less hope." "My only wish" " For my grandchildren to know peace in their lifetime, but my son" " He believes this is not possible." "SANCHEZ:" "Where is Nasim?" "I was hoping to see him." "ZAFAR:" "My son is out driving his taxi." "SANCHEZ:" "Oh." "I'm sorry I missed him." "I really need to ask him some questions." "ZAFAR:" "Perhaps I can help." "ERICKSON:" "There's nothing to be ashamed of, Jake." "JAKE:" "I don't know what you're talking about." "ERICKSON:" "The sheets." "I want you to know it's perfectly normal." "You're 13 now." "I think it's time you and I had a talk about manhood." "JAKE:" "Can I get the waffles?" "HEWES:" "Waffles sound delicious." "HEWES:" "You don't know who I am?" "ERICKSON:" "Oh, shoot." "I'm so sorry." "I feel like a certified ass." "Patty Hewes." "HEWES:" "Hello." "ERICKSON:" "Jake, I'd like a word alone with Ms. Hewes." "Could you give us a minute, son?" "You got your Game Boy?" "JAKE:" "Sure." "HEWES:" "Thank you, Jake." "I have a son." "ERICKSON:" "I have four." "(both laugh)" "ERICKSON:" "I heard a rumor Ms. Parsons wasn't trying this case alone." "HEWES:" "Actually, she is." "She has no idea I'm here." "ERICKSON:" "Then why are you here?" "HEWES:" "I have my reasons." "ERICKSON:" "Ms. Parsons never got back to me." "I was hoping I could find a way forward with her." "HEWES:" "A way forward?" "ERICKSON:" "Maybe you can carry a message for me." "I'm willing to make an offer." "HEWES:" "That's a lot of money." "ERICKSON:" "I just want to do what's right for those families." "HEWES:" "Ms. Parsons won't let you." "She's not interested in a settlement." "She's desperate to make a name for herself." "But she's in over her head." "If I were you..." "I'd keep my money." "She'll never beat you in court." "She doesn't have a case." "ERICKSON:" "What is this, some kind of negotiating ploy, or are you angling to push Ms. Parsons out so you can take over this case yourself?" "HEWES:" "I have my own cases to worry about." "ERICKSON:" "Look, I'm not interested in playing games." "This is my final offer." "HEWES:" "This isn't my case." "I'm in no position to make a deal." "ERICKSON:" "Then do me a solid and pass that along." "The offer is generous." "Tell Ms. Parsons there won't be another." "PARSONS:" "How did it go?" "HEWES:" "It was smart to file the case." "He wants to settle." "He even was willing to negotiate against himself and up the offer." "PARSONS:" "But you didn't accept it." "HEWES:" "No, but you need to take the offer to your clients." "PARSONS:" "They don't need to know." "HEWES:" "That's not exactly ethical, Ellen." "It's a substantial figure." "PARSONS:" "I'll think about it." "HEWES:" "Well, anyway, you know that Erickson's scared now, so just keep pusing." "PARSONS:" "Thanks for going to meet with him." "I'm glad we could help each other out." "HEWES:" "How's my little girl?" "PARSONS:" "She's fine." "Don't worry." "HEWES:" "Well, check her temperature every couple of hours, and if anything goes wrong, anything at all, her doctor's number's on the fridge, okay?" "And make sure she stays hydrated." "PARSONS:" "I'll take good care of her while you're away." "Listen, I forgot to ask." "I'm looking after Chris's dog while he's away." "Is it okay if I bring her over?" "HEWES:" "Yeah, it's no problem." "PARSONS:" "Okay." "Thanks, Patty." "HEWES:" "Bye." "You drive." "You do drive?" "ZAFAR:" "I know who he is." "Mullah Nur Taraki." "Well-known in this province." "Very powerful." "SANCHEZ:" "I was told my men killed his brother, and now he's seeking revenge." "ZAFAR:" "Who told you this?" "SANCHEZ:" "It's better for you not to know." "ZAFAR:" "Taraki's brother was killed, but not by your men." "He was beheaded by a rival tribe." "Taraki knows this." "SANCHEZ:" "Are you sure?" "ZAFAR:" "Listen to me, Chris." "I am your friend." "This story that you have been told" " It's fiction." "SANCHEZ:" "I thought it might be." "But that's not the only reason I came to see you." "ZAFAR:" "No?" "SANCHEZ:" "I need to tell you about the missions I led." "Your son, Nasim, helped me with information, what... whatever I needed to do my job." "I will always be grateful." "But what I did..." "We interrogated people." "I think many of them were innocent." "Some of them died." "I..." "I didn't think of it as torture at the time." "We-we were doing it for the right reasons." "We were." "But..." "I think we did more harm than good." "I regret it now." "You came all the way to Afghanistan to tell us this?" "SANCHEZ:" "I'm very sorry." "(sighs)" "BOORMAN:" "I'm coming up to get you." "Time to pray." "HUNTLEY:" "So you wouldn't let Michael stay with you?" "HENRY:" "Look, I'm gonna be late for class." "HUNTLEY:" "You're not going to turn your back on him again, are you?" "HENRY:" "What was I supposed to do, let him live in my dorm?" "I had roommates." "HEWES:" "All right, Maggie." "That's fine." "HENRY:" "Who is that?" "HEWES:" "And tell Girotto I need to push back the deposition again." "I'm out of town." "HENRY:" "Oh, fuck." "HEWES:" "Hello, Henry." "How are you?" "HENRY:" "I'm fine, Ms. Hewes." "HEWES:" "So, you're a junior now." "Your parents must be proud." "HENRY:" "I'm so sorry about Michael, Ms. Hewes." "When he showed up, we were in finals." "I was totally swamped." "I really wanted to help him, but..." "HEWES:" "Relax, Henry." "This isn't about you." "You are not in trouble." "I'm just trying to find Michael." "HUNTLEY:" "Any idea where he is now?" "HENRY:" "Last time I saw him was a while ago." "HUNTLEY:" "And where exactly was that?" "HENRY:" "He used to hang out across the street from this nightclub called Razor Fish." "HEWES:" "Hang out?" "And do what?" "HENRY:" "Seemed like he was trying to work his way into the scene down there." "HEWES:" "Where did he live?" "HENRY:" "In his car." "HEWES:" "So he was homeless?" "HENRY:" "I brought him clothes." "Even gave him money once." "I'm so sorry, Ms. Hewes." "BOORMAN:" "Patty Hewes came instead of Ellen Parsons?" "ERICKSON:" "I don't know what kind of tag-team they got going on." "I offered 'em a shit pot full of money, but they have no intention of settling." "No." "I'm not hungry." "I'm worried about Chris Sanchez." "Who knows what he's gonna say in court?" "BOORMAN:" "Hmm." "He doesn't have to say anything if he doesn't appear." "Afghanistan's a war zone, Howard." "Anything can happen." "(crickets chirping)" "CARTER:" "What did your contact say?" "SANCHEZ:" "Boorman's full of shit." "We didn't kill Taraki's brother." "The fucking fatwa against me" " All bullshit." "What are you doing, A.C.?" "CARTER:" "Sorry, man." "Lawsuit's been filed." "There's going to be a hearing." "The company cannot have you talking." "JUDGE PAWLOWSKI:" "Mr. Shaw, we have been here for over an hour." "SHAW:" "I'm sorry, Your Honor." "They assured me Mr. Sanchez would be online by now." "It may be a technical problem." "Perhaps we could reschedule?" "PARSONS:" "They're just stalling, Your Honor." "Either that, or my witness is being threatened." "SANCHEZ:" "Can you hear me?" "Ellen?" "PAWLOWSKI:" "Welcome, Mr. Sanchez." "(crickets chirping)" "PARSONS:" "Mr. Sanchez, on the day Rayburn, Franks and Lowry were killed, you were on a mission for High Star Security, is that correct?" "SANCHEZ:" "Yes." "PARSONS:" "And what was the purpose of this operation?" "SANCHEZ:" "Our orders were to escort kitchen equipment to a" "NATO base outside Kandahar." "PARSONS:" "Kitchen equipment?" "SANCHEZ:" "That's correct." "PARSONS:" "Mr. Sanchez, in previous conversations, do you recall stating that you were involved in an illegal operation?" "SANCHEZ:" "No." "I don't ever recall saying that." "We were escorting kitchen supplies." "PARSONS:" "Then how did these men die?" "SANCHEZ:" "We were ambushed as we drove through the Kydar Pass." "The enemy had position on the ridge." "PARSONS:" "Mr. Sanchez, is your testimony being coerced?" "SHAW:" "Your Honor..." "PAWLOWSKI:" "He-he..." "he can answer." "Mr. Sanchez, are you under any duress?" "SANCHEZ:" "No, sir, not at all." "PARSONS:" "In previous conversations, you told me that you never wanted to return to Afghanistan." "What has made you change your mind?" "SANCHEZ:" "My mother's sick." "I needed the money, so I re-upped with High Star." "PARSONS:" "You may be 7,000 miles away, Mr. Sanchez, but you are still under oath." "SANCHEZ:" "I understand." "PARSONS:" "Do you know the penalties for perjury?" "SANCHEZ:" "I'm telling the truth." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Do you have anything further, Ms. Parsons?" "PARSONS:" "No, Your Honor." "SANCHEZ:" "Ellen?" "My dog is sick." "PAWLOWSKI:" "What-what...?" "What did he say?" "PARSONS:" "I'm, uh..." "I'm looking after his dog, Your Honor." "SANCHEZ:" "Can you take her to the vet?" "Please, Ellen." "It's right around the corner from my apartment." "SHAW:" "Your Honor, this is absurd." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Mr. Sanchez, we're on the taxpayers' dime here." "SANCHEZ:" "Talk to the vet." "The dog" " She was abused by her previous owner." "PAWLOWSKI:" "Mr. Sanchez, this-this..." "this situation is over." "Thank you very much for your cooperation." "Be safe, sir." "(static hissing)" "Wow." "At this point, Ms. Parsons," "I don't know exactly what you want me to do." "I don't see any grounds for a case." "(crickets chirping)" "CARTER:" "You did the right thing." "SANCHEZ:" "Let him go now." "CARTER:" "Take him home." "CARTER:" "Sorry." "MICHAEL:" "Can you help me out?" "SETH:" "I doubt it." "Wait, wait." "See this..." "This is interesting." "This guy wants a handout." "MICHAEL:" "Fuck off." "SETH:" "What happened?" "You run away from home 'cause daddy doesn't love you?" "Stop feeling sorry for yourself, bitch." "WOMAN:" "Come on, let's go."

"What does your witness say at the hearing?" "PARSONS:" "Well, um, they got him to lie." "He was trying to tell me something." "I think they were going after somebody over there, but I haven't figured out what he meant yet." "I've been lying to myself." "I'm stuck." "I can't win this case without you, Patty." "I want more than just the firm's resources." "HEWES:" "You want the benefit of my experience and advice, so you can make a name for yourself and go out on your own."
