"You're a billionaire." "So what do you do?" "You call someone in Harlem?" "Robert?" "I just heard about Julie." "I'm so sorry." "Her gallery called." "Her mom's flying in today." "Her mom." " Service here?" " Tomorrow. 9:00 a.m." "Wow." "We should pick up the expenses for that." "Whatever she wants." "You take care of that personally for me?" " Of course." " Thanks." " You all right?" " Did you get ahold of Mayfield?" " No." "Not yet, but we'll get him." "" " Robert?" "I..." " Thanks." "I appreciate your concern." "Mills:" "Let's flash him, let's flash him." "" " Hold on, you gonna go..." " Wait, right here." "Mr. Grant?" " Yes." "NYPD Homicide." "Do you mind stepping in the car, please?" " What's this about?" " Just get in the car, Jimmy." " Am I under arrest?" " Do you want to be?" " So let's do this again." " Man, for what?" "My answers ain't going to change." " So you're asleep..." " Right." " and the phone rings..." " Right." "And it's a wrong number." "Why do you accept the charges on a collect call from a wrong number?" "I don't think I want to answer any more questions." "And then..." "you stay on the phone for a minute and a half with a wrong number." "What the fuck do you talk about?" "Area codes?" " I want to talk to my lawyer." " Mills:" "Listen, big man." "We know you went down there." "We ID'd your photo with your neighbor, who saw you get into your truck 10 minutes after the call was made." "If you got all that, what the fuck do you need me for, Officer?" "I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation here, Jimmy." " This is a homicide." " Lawyer." " You're going to sign him out?" " I called in Earl Monroe." " The basketball player?" " Civil rights attorney." " Remember Crown Heights?" " He's the best?" "He's the best above 96th Street." "That doesn't make him any cheaper." "You got to get Jimmy out of this." "Might not be that easy." "If he doesn't cooperate, they're likely to indict him on obstruction." " What would he be looking at?" " Hard to say." "With his prior, five years." "Maybe 10." "Jesus." "Hey." "This is not going to go away." "Okay." "I'm going to call you tomorrow if there's any news." "Don't you worry about anything here." "Don't talk to anyone else." "Take care." "Come on." "Get in." "All you said was you needed a fucking ride." "You didn't tell me you killed that girl." " Jimmy, I didn't..." " I'm trying to put my life back together." "Okay." "I appreciate you helped us, but now you're taking it too far." " It's going to be okay, Jimmy." " Like it was your ass sitting there." "Like you know a fucking thing about how it's going to be." "We got you the best criminal lawyer in the city." "Don't you got your own son for this?" " Why the hell you didn't call him?" " Because he would have" " fucked it up, all right?" " Okay." "Well, I'm sorry your son is a fucking idiot," " but that ain't my fault." " This isn't productive." "Oh, okay, then, Syd." " Tell us, what happens now?" " We meet with Earl and we go from there." "I understand right now they don't have enough to charge you with anything." " You're under suspicion." " Under suspicion?" " Motherfucker, I'm black!" " I am aware of that." "And what exactly would you like me to do about it?" "Gentlemen, my driver will take you where you want to go, but I cannot be a party to this conversation." "So this is where I get out." " Why couldn't you have just stayed?" " I couldn't." " Why not?" " Because I have responsibilities." "If I stayed there, a lot of people would have gotten hurt." " Well, somebody was hurt." " Other people, Jimmy." "I got business troubles, you understand?" "People rely on me." "Listen, I want to talk to you a second." "Come here." "I want to show you something." "Just for a second." "Come here." " Now, you know your father asked me to look after you." " Yeah." "Yeah." "I know, I know." "I messed up." "I'm sorry." "But I do want to help you." "You know that." "So I've been able to set up a situation for you." " What's that?" " This is a trust." "In your name, assets of $2 million." " Take a look at that." " Are you serious?" "You think money is going to fix this?" " Huh?" " What else is there?" " What are you doing?" " Yo, man." "Pull over." "What are you doing?" " What are you going to do?" " Do I look like a fucking snitch to you?" "I don't know, Jimmy." "I don't know." "Are you?" "Wait, wait, wait." "Look, sorry." "Just read it." "Just take it home and read it." "It's not going to hurt you." " Yeah?" " I've got Chris Vogler from Fremaut Accounting." " You asked me to interrupt you." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Put him through." " Chris?" " Robert, I've run into some problems." " Look, we're doing a non-recommend." " What?" " They got compliance involved, I'm sorry." " Whoa, wait, wait, wait." " Chris?" "Chris?" "Chris!" " I've got to go." "Chris!" "Ch..." "God damn it, Chris!" "Oh, Peter." "Listen." "I'm looking at some statements right now." " How much did you book last quarter?" " Why?" " Eh, what do you care?" " Peter, I'm really just asking you." " All right, eh, 35." " 35 million for your whole group?" "Yes. 35 million for my entire group." " You sure it wasn't 68?" " What?" "35 million isn't a big enough number for you?" " I know that it's a big number." " Well, what the fuck are you..." " No..." "Peter, I'll call you later." " What do you want?" "What are you doing in my office?" "Eh, hello?" " Can you explain these?" " Explain what?" "Old Hill." "All the numbers you falsified?" "You don't know what you're saying." " Get out of my way." " Brooke." " You're hurting my arm." " Can't you just leave it alone?" " You're fired, Ben." " You can't fire me." " Oh, I just did." " Who do you think asked me to make those changes?" "You tell me." "Mills:" "He was doing a little dealing a while back." "Looks like he stopped." " Man:" "Any family?" " Eh, they're all dead." "Kid's a good student." "Magnet school." "Whatever." "Then his mom dies and he gets popped for gun possession." " Even so, how come he got probation?" " He had an excellent lawyer." "How the fuck could this kid afford Felder  Chos?" "Well, we pulled his parents' tax returns." "Guess where his father worked for 20 years." "Miller Capital?" "He was the fucking driver?" "Oh, wow." "Oh, this guy's good." " Where are you at with the kid?" " So far, he won't budge." "Well, he's a convicted felon." "We'll get a warrant." "Put him in front of a grand jury." "Let's see how long he holds out when he realizes he's looking at 10 years off the prior." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Miller, as I explained from downstairs," " he's on a call right..." "Mr. Miller!" " Whoa." " Robert, what the fuck..." " Tell me what is going on." " I can't." " Tell me what the fuck is going on!" " I can't, I can't!" " This is my life!" "I know." "It's not me!" "Okay." "The audit..." " What?" " The audit passed." "It passed a week ago, like I said." "Okay." "Everything is fine." "Money's confirmed." "It's all straight and done." " It really is." " Why did you tell me that it didn't?" " Because they asked me to hold it." "Okay?" " Who's they?" " Who is they?" "!" " Mayfield." "Mayfield." "What?" "They're negotiating." "He wants a better price." "Sherry-Netherland?" "Yes." "James Mayfield, please." "Mr. Mayfield." "Uh-huh." "I think it's time we had a talk." " It's not going to hold." " The warrant doesn't need to hold." "It just needs to scare him into giving up Miller." "What is it, Mike?" "You stalled that big career, so you're reaching for a high note?" "Who gives a fuck?" "This is about Judge Rittenband, right?" " This is 'cause he's running again?" " You want to cost the judge his seat on a profiling claim... against Earl Monroe?" "I'm getting a new piece of evidence that's going to seal it 100%." "Good." "Bring it back to me when you got it." "You can have it in your hand before you go in the jury room." "Look, Ray." "We like this kid." "I don't want to lose him." "Think about it." "If we flip him, you get Robert Miller, and what's that worth to Rittenband?" "Or to you for that matter?" "20 fucking years." "Ray, 20 years we've watched these guys." "They out-lawyer us, they out-buy us." "I'm fucking sick of it." "Where's the consequence?" "The guy did it." "He does not get to walk just because he's on CNBC." "Give me the warrant." "You better not fuck me." "Yeah." "I need a serious fucking favor." " Brooke's waiting for you." " We had a meeting?" "No, but she looked upset." "Robert:" "Sweetie, you okay?" "What's wrong?" " You want to sit?" " I'll stand." " Didn't you think I'd find out?" " I did." " Why didn't you tell me?" " Because I hoped you wouldn't." "Oh, come on." "You tell me the truth now or I am done." " I made a bad bet." " No, you committed fraud." " That's a dangerous word." " What would you prefer?" "That you cheated?" "That you stole money from people who trust you?" "That you lied... that you lied right to my face?" "!" " Why?" " Because we were going broke." "Everything was finished." " We'd have nothing." " How?" "How does that happen?" "How?" "You remember Alexandrov?" "He came to see me one day last year." "He said, "Robert, you got a great opportunity." "There's a copper mine in Russia." "It's under-exploited, there's billions under the ground." "To get it out, all we need is a couple hundred million." "You put in 100, we'll put in 100." "We'll triple it in six months."" "I was skeptical, so I go check it out." "Geological survey's right." "Friendly government." "And to lock it in, you hedge it." "Right?" "We sell the copper ahead." "Commodities exchange and it all works." "It's fine." "We're making a fortune." "And then there's something that I hadn't accounted for." "A variation margin." "And that friendly Russian government... not so friendly anymore." "They're blocking the exported copper." "So I got to pony up." "I got to put the cash in to cover the hedge." "But I'm not worried about it because it's still springing money." "There's so much money coming out of this ground, you can't believe it." "You can't... you can't stop it." "Yes." "I'm the oracle." "I have done housing." "I've arb'd credit swaps." "I have done it all." "Yes." "I know it's outside the charter, but it is fucking minting money." "It is... it's a license to print money for everybody." "Forever!" "It is God." " Until?" " Until it's not." "The money's trapped." "I can't get it out." "I probably never will." "It's like a plane crash." "It just happens." " It does not just happen." " It just happened, honey." "You are so naive sometimes." "You're young, but you're not that young." "It happens." "And like any father, I pray that it doesn't happen to you." " Happily, because of me, it won't happen to you." " Thanks to you," " we all may be arrested." " No one's getting arrested." "That's why I borrowed the money from Jeffrey." "Plugged the hole." "They see that the books are fine." "Transfer the company, I pay back Jeffrey with interest." "I make all our investors whole and what's left, we keep." "At least we get to keep the house." " Everybody wins." " Yes." " If we sell the company." " It'll sell." " If I lie for you." " You don't have to lie." "You didn't know about it." "That's why I didn't tell you." "I'm the chief investment officer of this company." "What do you think they're going to say at the deposition? "She didn't know"?" "They'll take away my brokerage license." "Failure to supervise you." "My name in every paper and blog while I visit your ass in jail!" "What do you want me to do?" "Did you want to let our investors go bankrupt?" "Is that what you wanted?" "You wanted people to get really hurt?" "!" " What gives you the audacity to think that you.." " You want those lives..." " ...can make others..." " Because it's my job!" " Job?" "It's illegal." " Yes." "It's illegal and I am your partner." "You are not my partner." "You work for me." "That's right." "You work for me." "Everybody works for me." "Come here." "Brooke." "Please." "Please." "Come here." "Just... just for a second." "Sit down." "There's something I want to tell you." "Whatever you decide, I won't blame you." "I'm on my own path." "It's up to you to move with it or against it." "But I'm the patriarch." "That's my role." "I have to play it." "For a moment there, I thought you were going to say you're sorry." "I'm sorry." "Hey, Jimmy." " Come on, man." "What?" " Take a ride with me." " Where?" "Back to the station?" " No, man." "Just get in the car." " What if I say no?" " I'm not threatening you." "I'm just asking you." "Take a ride with me." "Wasting my time, Detective." "What?" "Well, it's pretty fucking simple." "I know you went to pick him up." "So that's what you want to talk about?" " I told you, I ain't making no more statements." " And I know why." " Somebody cares?" " Here." "Take a look at this." "Take it." "I got his phone calls." "I got his text messages." "I got his relationship with the girl." "They were fucking, by the way." "And then I got you." "I got the time log from the pay phone." "I got a fucking tollbooth photograph of you driving your car through the Triborough." "Where you got that?" "That's bullshit 'cause I ain't do it." "It's impossible." "Really?" "Look, you lied to me." "You lied to the police." "You obstructed justice." " Talk to Earl, Detective." " Fuck Earl." "You see this?" "This means that tomorrow, grand jury hears your case in court." "And tomorrow in court, I'm going to ask for a felony obstruction indictment." "With your prior, you're going to prison for 15 fucking years." "You might get out in 10, but then you'll be, what?" "33?" "With no job." "No girl." "No life." "Look." "I know you think Miller's your friend." " Who's Miller?" " I know about your father." "You don't know a goddamn thing about my father." "I know that Miller paid his bills while he was dying." "I know he got Syd Felder to get you out of trouble on your gun charge." " That doesn't add up to this." " You done?" "Okay." "He's driving... he crashes, he runs away." "Who's he call?" "He calls you." "Why do you think that is?" "Because you're disposable." "You're the one person he can call that just doesn't fucking matter." " You're a... you're a... throwaway." " Yeah." "You're just another part of his transaction." " Will you open the door?" " So what?" "You're his new nigga now?" "Open... open the fucking door!" "I'm not fucking playin' with you, man." "Open the door." "You didn't kill that girl." " He did." " Will you open the door?" "He's using you." "I know it." "You know it." "Do the right thing." "Now get out of my fucking car." " Robert:" "What do you think?" " Felder:" "He's going to walk." "You're certain?" "Courts aren't for certainty, but he says he was at home." "Why shouldn't he be?" "Phone call doesn't make him a liar." " It's not great." " What's baffling to me, though, despite your sentimental history together, is why you would put your family's future in this kid's hands." "He's not like us." "Is that a good thing?" "I don't know." " How's Ellen?" " She's good." "Fine." "Same." " Why?" " I heard something." " Yes?" " She met with Gil Deustchman." " The estate lawyer?" " Yeah." "Has she mentioned anything?" "Not to me." "Deferlito:" "That was the early morning of April 11th." " Yes." " You received a phone call?" " Yes." " Who called you?" " It was a wrong number." " That's a lie." "Isn't it, Mr. Grant?" "No." "You were on the phone one and a half minutes." "Isn't it the case you know exactly who called you and exactly why?" " Why are you lying to this grand jury?" " I'm not lying." "I'm going to introduce into evidence People's A." "This is a tollbooth photograph taken in the northbound ninth lane of Triborough... excuse me, the RFK Bridge." "Mr. Grant, directing your attention to the photograph." "Would you please read the date and time stamp indicated on the upper right-hand corner." " This is crazy." " You've got to answer." "Mr. Grant, please answer the question." "April 11th, 2:33 a.m." "Again, directing your attention to the same photograph." "Would you please read the license plate of the vehicle passing through the toll?" "A-O-C-8-9-6-3." "This is People's B." "A printout from the Department of Motor Vehicles plate registry." "Mr. Grant, directing your attention to that printout." "Are the numbers on the toll photograph the same ones that are on your own license plate?" " Mr. Grant?" " Yes." " Yes, the numbers are the same?" " Yes." " How do you explain that?" " I can't." "But that is... your car in this photograph." "Isn't it?" " No." " No, that is not your car?" "Answer the question, Mr. Grant." "This is not my car in this picture." "I don't know how y'all did that, but this isn't my car." "You expect this grand jury to believe that, that is not your car, when there is a printout from the Department of Motor Vehicles?" " That's asked and answered, Mr. Deferlito." " Mr. Monroe, you are aware that you're not permitted to go on record?" "Jimmy." " Jimmy, Jimmy, wait." " What?" " What was that?" " They're lying." " Okay." "Now here's..." " You can halt the decision." "Detective, we need a minute, please." "How about you, Jimmy?" "You need a minute?" " Because if you do..." " Get the fuck out of my face." "How about that?" "So you want to keep playing games or are you ready to tell me something?" "Detective, I need to speak with my client." "So now if you would just please..." "How... how are y'all just going to lie like that?" "Huh?" " How are y'all just gonna lie?" " We didn't lie." "You lied." " That wasn't my car." " Jimmy, don't say anything else." "Sure, it wasn't." "And it was a telemarketer called you from the pay phone who stopped at the Chevron to make a late-night sale." " That picture was some bullshit." " Jimmy, stop." "Detective, what's going on?" "Well, tell him." "Go ahead, Jimmy." "Tell him." "See how your boss will like this one." "Last chance." "Wait here." "Mr. Miller?" "I would like to introduce you to Julie's mom." "Sandrine." "I'm so, so sorry." "I want to thank you for everything you did for my daughter." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "You believed in her." "You gave her a chance." "She was happy." "I know she was happy." "It's not fair, is it?" "Not fair." "It shouldn't have happened." "...rail thin." "She's a blonde." "I would have known who she was if she didn't come up and introduce herself to me." " She looked totally different." "" "She's living in Miami and..." "You're going straight to level six?" "Don't you think you better pace yourself a little bit?" "I'm good." "I want to run." "Something the matter?" "You and Tom all right?" "We're fine." "You worried about the deal closing?" " No." " Do you want me to guess?" "Come on, Brooke." "Don't be silly." " Tell me what's going on." " You know, I can't stay for breakfast today." "I have to just..." "I got to get into work." "I don't know what I was thinking." "Did you finish the deal with the hospital?" "Uh, no." " Did he write the check?" " No." " Why not?" " Issues related to the closing." " We don't lie to each other, Brooke." " I'm not lying to you." "It's complicated." "You wouldn't understand." "You know, I know that the... that the police came to the office." "Do you know what that's about?" " I honestly have no idea." " How about your father's head?" "Where he cut his head and the pain that he's hiding in his stomach and the fact that he hasn't slept?" "And now, for some reason, it's way too complicated for me to understand?" "There's no money for a routine gift?" "Does that seem a little strange?" " Of course it's strange." " So tell me what's happening." "What do you want me to say?" "He's my dad." " I have to trust him." " No." "You have to do what's right for you." "Not him." "Not me." "Not anyone." "This is your life." "I love you." "I've got to go." "Mr. Mayfield." "You keep sending people to my office" " to do business." " They're just getting acquainted." "Yeah." "The intricacies of my operation, so that you cannot buy it?" "Just coffee, thanks." "You remember what it was like on our side of the fence." "Everything just moves a little slower." "Plus, this whole audit mess doesn't help." "You know, clearing that all up." " Fuck you." " Excuse me?" "Fuck you." "I am the oracle of Gracie Square." "You came to me." "I did not come to you." " Robert, I think we're getting off on the wrong foot." " No, no, no." "Forget it." "Forget the deal." "I don't even care about the deal." "No, I run a very comfortable..." "no, excuse me." "I run a thriving business." "It has returned, year to date, 15.4%." "Approximately $583 million from an operation that you don't have and we both know you need." "Which is why you called me in the first place." "You, on the other hand, you take a salary of $18 million." "And what are you doing with it?" "Falling stock price..." "no, negative 16?" "Is that what it is?" "You've also lost approximately 3.5 billion to your investors." "Tell me, why the fuck do I need you?" " Let's just calm down." " You know what we're gonna do?" "We're gonna put out a press release." "Immediately." "Today." "We're gonna say there's no deal." "There never was a deal." "You're not going to be buying Old Hill." "You're not going to be buying Quantum." "You're not going to be buying anything." "You?" "You're just a browser." "Me?" "I'm going to continue to enjoy my earnings." "And while I soar on princely wings to my next winning enterprise, your shares are going to drop another couple of bucks based on a failed acquisition attempt." "Bodes well for your tenure, doesn't it?" "Your price is too high." "You have a nice day, James." "400." " 550." " 450." "525." "That's it." "Yes or no." "And if it's no, that's any further communications" " goes right into my trash can." " It's a deal." "One other thing." "Six months, I'm going to be gone." "I'm out of here." "My daughter's going to take it over." "You know her, you trust her." " All right." " And you're going to have to make my son a VP." " Robert." " No, no." "He doesn't have to do anything." "He just gets a salary." "He gets the office." "Five-year employment contract for both of them." "My lawyers draft them." "Yes or no?" " Yes." " Okay." " What are you doing?" " I'm writing the deal." " You're not serious." " Yeah." "I'm serious." "Very serious." "Sign it." "I'll send over a draft of the press release." "" " You all right?" "Yeah, yeah." "I'm fine." "Before I leave, what would you have paid?" "600." "And you would have taken?" "475." " So we made a good deal." " Yeah." "Actually, I lied." "I would have taken 400." "Robert:" "Anyway, I will be seeing most of you at the gala tomorrow night." "Since the sale is official, as of this afternoon, you're free to talk about it now." " More questions?" " Will we get new business cards?" "Yes." "Everyone but you." "All right." "Thank you all very, very much." "You're going to be proud of this." "It's a good day." "Your hard work made it happen." "Thank you all." "Thank you, thank you, thank you." "So how did you get Mayfield to come around?" "I met his price." "Took it out of your share." " Hey, Robert?" " Yeah?" " Nice job." " Well, thank you." "Now go get me that fucking hospital check." " Yeah?" " Felder:" "It's not good." "Hello." "You want something to drink?" " What do you got?" " Not much." " Got any milk?" " Nope." "I'll take a water." " Where are you going?" " What?" " Boxes." " Was planning on Virginia." "Looks like I'm not going anymore." "What?" "You waiting on me to say something?" " I told you not to take the toll." " Yeah, you did." "I said listen carefully." "Follow my directions." "Do exactly what I tell you to do." " You said all that." " But you took the toll anyway." " No, I did not." " Don't fucking lie to me." "I'm not lying." "I took 95 the whole goddamn way there." "I did what you said." "I didn't stop." "I didn't take the Triborough." "I followed all your fucking instructions." " Then where did they get the photograph from?" " You tell me." " You're saying it's a fake?" " How did you get so fucking rich again?" " Don't be such a wise-ass." " This is my fucking life, man." "Earl's telling me it could be 10 years!" "10 fucking years!" "How much is 10 years worth, Robert?" "Look, man." "I told you, I ain't no fucking snitch." "But this is bad." "This is real bad." "Me and Reina got a whole plan we about to make happen next week." " What plan?" " I got money saved up." "Buying a business." " What business?" " I bought an Applebee's." " What's an Applebee's?" " It's a fucking restaurant." " It's a chain restaurant." " You bought an Applebee's in Virginia?" "Is this really what you came here to talk about?" " What are you gonna do?" " It's not really that simple, Jimmy." " I'm in a situation now." " What situation?" "I told you." "Right now, if I were to speak, a lot of people would get hurt." "Jobs." "Families." "A lot of innocent people." "Do you think you can understand that?" "Yeah, but what about me?" "What about my situation?" "They showed me the pictures." "That's fucked up what you did." " And I know all the people counting on you." "Whatever." " It was an accident." "But you told me Earl was gonna make this right." "Robert, you know I care about you." "All the things you did for us and for my father." "But Earl said they'll offer me a deal." "No charges at all." "I walk away." "They just want to know who I went to pick up." "Why are you putting me in this situation, man?" "Why are you putting me in this position?" "Can you just hang tight?" "Can you do that?" "Just a little longer." "All right, but Earl said the deal is on the table for 24 hours." "After that, they're going to file a case." "Earl says we're going to lose." "All right." "Just hang with me a little bit." "You got to give him up." "You said take the money." "Yeah." "That was to keep quiet, not to go away." "What's he offering you now?" "What can he offer me?" "Felder:" "We went to the toll authority and they said they gave the tape to the cops." "I requested our investigator go examine it at the evidence room, but honestly, what's the point?" " He says he didn't take the toll." " And you believe him?" " Does Standard have claw-back?" " What?" "What do you mean?" " Let's just say I decide to go in." " Have you lost your mind?" "Wait a minute." "Just listen." "Listen to me." "If I were to surrender now..." " could they roll back the deal?" " No." "What's done is done." "There's no intention of fraud, you haven't warranted any behavior." " So it's just money." " Four years, you think?" "I don't know." "At this point, they're not going to make it easy." "I really suggest you think about this." "Call the D.A. Get it started." "Robert:" "Yeah, Glen." "Mrs. Miller say where she was going tonight?" "Ah." "No, I'll try her her cell." "Thank you." "Voicemail:" "Hi, this is Ellen Miller." "I'm not available right now." "Syd?" "Yeah, yeah." "Did you make that call to the D.A. yet?" "Thank God." "No, no, no, no, no." "Listen to me." "Call Earl." "Tell him to get his car." "Tell him to meet us over here at my house in 20 minutes." "Yeah, and Syd?" "Bring a notary." "I'm going to need a receipt, please." "Thank you." "You have a good night now." "Hi." "I'm Brent Owens." "Night Supervisor." "How can I help you?" "Hello, Brent." "I'm Earl Monroe." "I'm issuing a criminal evidence request." "I'm going to need to have a look at one of your lane tapes." "I don't understand." "This says you want to look at a tape that was made ten minutes ago?" "Wait, wait." "Just wait." "Okay." "They won't release tape without a court order, but they did give me a printout." "The same kind they used at Jimmy's indictment." " Your car?" "With plates." " Yes." "Okay." "You got Jimmy's?" "Thanks." " Son of a bitch." "" "Man:" "They look a little different to me, too." "Is there a reason why you haven't allowed" "Mr. Monroe's investigator to conduct his own analysis?" "We've had some issues regarding chain of custody." "Now you don't have them anymore." "You're to meet with him, with the evidence, in the next hour." "I'm afraid that's not possible." "Where is the tape?" "Am I not speaking loud enough?" " Your Honor?" " Yes?" " There seems to be..." " Let him tell me." " We don't know where it is." " Come again?" " It's not in the evidence locker." " Where is it?" " We don't know." " I'll ask you one more time, Detective." "Where is the tape?" " We lost it." " Monroe:" "Mm." "In light of these developments... and I would think you should be very happy to hear this." "With Mr. Monroe's approval, I'm going to offer Mr. Deferlito the opportunity to voluntarily dismiss the indictment to save us all a bunch of embarrassment." " I don't feel comfortable with that, Your Honor." " Further, I'm going to put all charges against Mr. Grant under seal." "This case is dismissed with prejudice and not to be refiled." "Hold on, Detective." "If you have another suspect in the automobile death, then you are to present him." "But Mr. Grant is free from any further inquiry." " This is over." "Do I have your understanding?" " Thank you." "Close the door, Detective." "Please." "You finessed this." "Didn't you?" " I'm sorry?" " You finessed it." "I know it and you know it." "I know who you're after." "I saw all the evidence." "Not just a toll photo." " You got to get him the right way." " Oh." "Okay." "So let me get this straight." "What you're telling me is I'm supposed to sit around with my thumb up my ass and my fingers crossed, hoping that one of these fucking days, somewhere down the line, one of these rich assholes" "is gonna say the wrong thing loud enough so that we can't choose to ignore him anymore?" "Get the fuck out of my office." "Yes, Your Honor." " Well, when do you expect her?" " Hey." " When do you expect her?" " What's going on?" "So I don't have to call you a ninth time, can you take down what I'm saying?" "Word for word." "Exactly." "Okay." "You got a pencil?" "All right." "Are you ready?" "Okay." "Here goes." "Mrs. Miller, exactly how fucking stupid do you really think I am?" "He didn't hurt anybody." "He helped a lot of people." " This piece of paper makes everything okay?" " No." "It makes it easier." "You heard him say something." "No." "Robert, look." "You asked me to come meet you and I'm here." "But I came because I want to get something straight between us." "We're even." "Okay." "We're even." "Just for the record, though, what you did, way beyond the money." "Nothing beyond money for you, Robert." "We both know that." " Thanks a lot." " If I take this... what does that say about me?" "Fuck it." "I'm going to take your money." "I'm going to do something good with it." "Hey, sweetie." "What time do you want to get there?" "I don't want to get there too soon." "How late do you think it will go?" "You okay?" "What is it?" " You spoke to Brooke?" " She told you that?" " No, she didn't have to." "" " Yeah, I explained to Brooke..." " You explained?" " Did you tell her everything?" " Yeah." "Yes." "Everything?" " Lift up your shirt." " What?" "Lift up your shirt." "Did you tell her about this?" " Ellen, I don't know what you think you know." " Don't treat me like an idiot." "You've been sneaking off to see her for months." "You don't think I know?" " What do you think you know?" " I never cared, really, about your secretaries, your gallerists, your whores, whatever you want to call them." "I cared about our home." " Now you brought this to our door." " I did what was necessary." "No, you did what was necessary for you, Robert, for your interests." " For my interests?" " Yes." "Everything I do is for us." "For this family." " Now you're telling me how to run my business?" " This isn't about business!" "This is our life!" "Where do you think we're going tonight?" "What do you think I've tolerated all of this for so long?" "You tolerated?" "Wow." " I'm glad you find that funny." " What about me?" "What about me?" "What about the complaints?" "The unhappiness?" "The drinking?" "The shopping?" "The trainers?" "Everything!" "But, yes, the charities." "The wonderful, sainted charities." "You know, all the wonderful things that you do." "How do you think I pay for them?" "I didn't ask you because I didn't want you to lie." " Because you didn't want to give them up." " I thought that we had an understanding, and you broke that understanding when you brought Brooke into it." " No, I kept her out." " When you made Brooke complicit." " When you risked her future, and I'm done." " I kept her out." " What is this?" " Read it." "All ownership and voting rights transfer to the Miller Charitable Foundation to be administered by Brooke Miller." " You really expect me to sign this thing?" " You're not following." " Apparently not." "No, no." " Okay." "Um, the police have been trying to talk to me." "I assume because they want to know where you were that night." "I'm not going to lie for you." " Not unless you sign that." " Yeah." "This leaves me with nothing." "I think you'll find a way to manage." "I'm sure you have all kinds of things offshore for a rainy day." " This is fucking crazy." " If you sign it, then I will tell your lie." "I will say that I was with you that night." "All night, here." "And you will be free and clear." "And the people that need our money will get it." "That's my price." "You are out of your mind." "I am not signing this." "I will not sign that!" "Well, then, I will have to tell them that you came home at 4:30..." " bruised and bleeding." " Why would you tell them?" "That's fucking ridiculous." "What..." " You trying to blackmail me?" " I think we call it negotiating." "You're not going to win that one." "There's no fucking way." "Then you know what?" "It will cause just enough trouble, the kind of trouble that you don't want." " Apparently, according to my lawyer, it's enough..." " Fucking lawyer..." " ...to give them probable cause." " Fuck!" " Then they can subpoena your DNA and your cell phone and..." " Fuck the DNA!" " I'm sick of this shit!" " So, really, Robert." "What you have is a choice." "You can either be in court and the tabloids for the next three years, or you can be at your business." "You won't do this." "You won't do it." " You wouldn't do it to the kids." " Just try me." "You broke our little girl's heart." "It's how it all works, Ellen." " You know that." " I know." " But she didn't." " She'll be better for it." "The world is cold." "Then you're going to need a warm coat." "There's one more thing." "I hate to mention it now..." " but I just received it." " Speak, John." "I had Stern Marling do a secondary audit on the Miller financials." " Who authorized this?" " I did." "What did you conclude?" "It's in front of you." "I didn't ask you what the paper said, John." "I asked you what you thought." "What do you think?" "I think..." "I think I don't see anything wrong here." "Brooke:" "And to receive this prestigious award..." "I invite now to the stage the man who led this generous effort and whose financial trading firm, Miller Capital, was just this morning acquired by Standard Bank  Trust." "A dedicated businessman, a family man, philanthropist, and all-around humanitarian." "A man I am very lucky to call my mentor, my friend, and my father." "Mr. Robert Miller."
