"Previously on Damages..." "I thought you didn't believe in therapy." "Yeah, well, this is court-ordered." "You might as well talk to me." "We need to discuss how you ended up here, and then I have to sign off on your progress." "Are you still taking care of your granddaughter?" "Catherine's sick." "She has a fever." "What's going on with this wrongful death suit against High Star?" "Who else at High Star knew about the program?" "I've withheld nothing from you." "Well, somehow, there's a new witness in town." "My name is Nasim Marwat." "On Chris's last mission, three of his men were killed." "Do you know the purpose of that mission?" "Every mission, they take someone away." "Chris explained this to my father, and now my father is dead." "If High Star was running some sort of terrorist extraction program, they couldn't have done it alone." "The other American from Chris's mission" " I saw him." "He was following me." "I need to get your testimony." "Mr. Herndon can make some inquiries about High Star." "You were able to confirm our witness's story." "High Star was extracting terrorist suspects for the CIA."

"Just grabbing his bags." "I need to borrow your hat." "Get the fuck out of here." "And your cab." "All right, all right." "Whatever you want." "Here's $1,000." "You'll have them both back in an hour." "Oh, and, uh..." "you can take that, too." "Come with us, ma'am." "Who are you?" "Sir, please step out of the car." "Stay right where you are." "It's okay, Ms. Parsons." "Ms. Hewes hired security for you." "You're gonna come with me." "It's okay." "I know this man." "He's with us." "Let me just..." "Sir?" "Thank you for your trouble." "No trouble at all." "Ms. Parsons told me that you were followed earlier today." "Yes." "The man from Chris's mission is in New York." "We are taking every precaution to ensure your safety." "Who is this man?" "We don't know, but Detective Huntley will take your description of him, and we'll try to find out." "Yeah, I'd like to move you to a secure location." "We'll provide 24-hour protection." "I can't stay here anymore." "I would like to go back to my country." "Are you still willing to give a statement, Mr. Marwat?" "If it can be done quickly." "Absolutely." "We won't keep you in New York any longer than necessary, and of course, this would be a great help to us." "Let's get you some dinner and a bed." "It'll be safer this way." "Thank you, Mr. Marwat." "Thank you." "We'll talk in the morning." "Thank you, Detective." "You've reached Howard T. Erickson." "I'm not available to take your call." "Please leave a message and have a blessed Christmas." "Give me a call!" "Herndon was able to get this for us." "High Star was conducting missions for the CIA?" "The operation is called Dust Devil." "When did Herndon give this to you?" "Earlier tonight." "He lied to me." "He told me he couldn't get anything." "I..." "I think he just wanted me to see it first." "I think he's a little worried about you." "Thinks you may be in over your head." "Any information that you get, I want to know about it... immediately." "Ellen, I'm showing it to you now." "I couldn't call you on the phone, because we have to assume that all communications are compromised." "Huntley's gonna sweep the office for any bugs." "We won't use our phones or computers until we are absolutely sure that all lines of communication are secure." ""Dust Devil."" "DD." ""Dust Devil"" " That's what it says on the back of Chris' medallion." "Nasim must have witnessed one of the Dust Devil missions." "With his testimony and this document to back him up, you've got yourself a case." "I'm gonna begin drafting a motion that compels" "High Star to deliver all of their documents on Dust Devil." "Good." "Then we could start prepping Marwat's deposition." "What do you mean there's another witness?" "It's news to me, too." "I found out, I called you immediately." "I was carving our Christmas bird." "You said her entire case rested on Chris Sanchez's testimony." "It did." "As far as I knew, we were through that shit storm." "It's possible Sanchez sent somebody back from Afghanistan." "How do you know?" "Through a CIA contact." "A friend?" "I can't divulge my sources, Jack." "You know how that goes." "How would a source in the CIA know anything about this?" "I'm here to protect this company." "You have to tell me, Howard." "It was a CIA program." " Dust Devil?" " That's right." "Okay, when did it start?" "It's been a while now." "I need anything and everything that exists." "Now listen, Jack, my friend in the agency is the man that guarantees I get my contracts renewed." "I can't betray his confidence in any manner." "Of course not." "Yeah, buddy." "You keeping an eye on your brothers?" "Yeah, go ahead and start unwrapping them." "I'm leaving right now." "All right." "It was a matter of national security." "Highly classified." "Up in the stratosphere classified." "Understood." "Get me all the paperwork on this thing-- E-mails, memos, whatever there is." "If Ellen Parsons produces this witness, I'll depose him, and we'll find out everything he knows." "Still don't feel well?" "Uh-uh." "Oh." "Oh, you're burning up." "Catherine's fever went away for a couple of days, but, uh, it's come back." "That is slightly unusual, but there is a flu going around." "She's abnormally tired." "She has no energy." "Her check-up seemed okay." "I-I wouldn't get alarmed, but I'll run some blood tests, and the nanny should make sure that Catherine stays hydrated." "I don't currently have a nanny." "Well, if you're interested, I could recommend a private nursing service." "There's a woman there who specializes in pediatrics." "She's wonderful with kids." "Thank you." "With the holiday and everything," "I should get the test results late tomorrow." "I understand." "There's nothing to worry about, Patty." "Kids get bugs all the time." "It usually turns out to be nothing." "I'm looking for something crude, like an explosive with an arming switch that looks homemade or, uh, a cobbled-together pipe bomb." "What sort of locale are you thinking of?" "A bus." "Could retrofit a device with a little ignition generator." "Nothing fancy." "Exactly." "Sounds like a rerun of North Africa." "Yeah." "I was thinking the same thing." "You ever see that little tiki tiki girl?" "No?" "This is for you." "Okay." "I'm on it." "I'll have it to you tomorrow." "Mr. Marwat, you asserted previously that you recognized this medallion." "Yes or no, sir?" "You must state your reply." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Everyone forgets when they're nervous, but there will be a stenographer typing every word you say for the record, so it's important that you speak clearly." " Do you recognize it?" " Objection." "Yes, I do." "Chris Sanchez wore it." "Got to wait for the full objection." " Sorry." " Objection." "Previously asked and answered." "You may continue." "Would you kindly read what's on the back?" ""DD."" "Do you know what those initials stand for?" "The DDs are what Chris and his men used to call themselves." "Have you ever heard of Operation Dust Devil?" "No." "So "DD" does not stand for "Dust Devil"?" "No." "I, uh..." "No, it does stand for "Dust Devil," or no, it doesn't?" "I'm sorry." "I..." "Mr. Marwat, to the best of your knowledge, does" ""DD" stand for Operation Dust Devil?"" "To the best of my knowledge, no, but..." "So Chris Sanchez and his men had nothing to do with Operation Dust Devil?" "I didn't say that." "Okay, so, let's stop here." "This is a trap Mr. Erickson's lawyers will set for you." "If they ask if "DD" stands for "Operation Dust Devil," just say, "I don't know."" "This lawyer represents the company that may have murdered your father, so he will do whatever he can to try to confuse you." "It is very important that you take your time, and you don't let anyone rush you." "Yes." "Okay." "Please, let's keep practicing." "Catherine?" "Can you say hello to Ms. Auroro?" "Hi, Catherine." "Hi." "Oh, can I meet your friend?" "What's her name?" "Blueberry." "Well, I can tell Blueberry watches over you and protects you, right?" "Hmm?" "Ms. Auroro is going to stay with you today when I go to work, okay?" "Okay, Catherine, you close your eyes, and I'll be sitting right over there." "I'll see you when you wake up." "There you go." "Oh, what a beautiful girl." "Oh, thank you." "I'm so grateful you were available." "Oh, happy to help, Ms. Hewes." "God bless you, child." "Parsons has requested every High Star document that references Operation Dust Devil." "What happens if we don't fork 'em over?" "It's part of the discovery process." "They file a subpoena, the judge enforces it." " I'm not optimistic about our grounds for a challenge." " I see." "And they've put their witness on the list." "He needs to leave the country, so they're expediting his deposition." "My team's done an extensive review of all the company records Parsons has requested." "We cannot let Parsons get these documents." "So we'll just have to find another way to cut the balls off this thing." "I'll talk to my guy at the Agency." "But be careful." "The CIA may be on your side now, but they'll throw you under a bus to cover their ass if they want to." "I know how the game is played, Jack." "That's a good girl, Catherine." "I'm going to take it out of your ear, and you are all done." "Huh?" "Okay, let's tuck you in." "Tuck you in and get you all cozy." "All right." "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep." "See me safely through the night, and wake me with the morning light." "Amen." "Would you like anything to drink?" "No, thank you." "I should get home." "I'll be back first thing." "6:00 a.m. is okay?" "Yes, thank you." "And, uh, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't pray with Catherine." "We were just saying a good night prayer." "I understand." "I'm not making any judgments." "But I'd prefer that Catherine not be exposed to it." "I have my faith." "It's very important to me." "I respect that." "And I hope you'll respect my wishes." "Certainly." "Were you raised in any faith?" "Catholic." "I was raised Catholic." "Were you baptized?" "I must have been." "But Catherine definitely wasn't baptized?" "No." "Thank you." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Why can't you just kick this up to your boss?" "Have him seal the Dust Devil documents." "Classified and confidential." "End of problem." "We can't get the Agency involved." "How the fuck did you let this guy slip through the cracks?" "A little less volume, please." "I'm working on a flu here." "You were responsible for knowing everything that happened on the ground over there." "Don't worry about the deposition." "Why not?" "!" "They have a witness, and we cannot let him be deposed." "I'm taking care of it." "I promise you, Parsons will not get this witness on the record." " Is that what I asked for?" " Yeah." "Those are the only copies." "What are you going to do with them?" " Protect my company." " How?" "Have a friend from the Department of Defense take a look." "He won't want to see that." "Which is exactly why I'm going to show it to him." "I like it, Howard." "Good." "Suck a lozenge." "And stop this deposition." "Patty, I heard from the lab." "What did they find?" "Nothing definitive yet." "What are the possibilities?" "I prefer to speak to you in person." "Can you meet me at my office?" "Sure." "I'll be right over." "Have you taken Catherine to California or anywhere in the Southwest?" "No." "We haven't left New York." "What about your beach house?" "Have you taken her there?" "No." "Not since last summer." "Why?" "Lyme disease." "But this would be an unusually long time for it to present." "So if it's not that, what?" "It could be as simple as mono." "For a child?" "You mentioned Catherine's been to your office regularly?" "She's spent a fair amount of time around adults?" "Isn't there a very quick test for mono?" "No." "Children under four don't produce the heterophile antibody, so the test you're referring to will always return with a negative result even if the child's infected." "The only way to rule out mono is to check her liver enzymes." "So I have to wait for another test?" "I'm afraid so, Patty." "Very simple." "Black powder, throw in some nails, roof tacks." "Everything fits in the bag." "It detonates with a cell phone?" "No need." "You said it was better low-tech, right?" "Yeah..." "This beaut will work, no questions asked." "Most important, set the timer to ten minutes, turn off the kill switch and it's armed." "Stash the bag, and get your ass out of there." "It won't work if the kill switch is still engaged." "Copy that." "What?" "I didn't say a word." "Your worry takes up all the air." "And it's making you sick." "No, no, there's a-- There's a flu going around." "And now you give it to me?" "You should have told me first." "I'm sorry." "I fucked up." "I, uh, I miscalculated the risk on an operation." "I didn't have all the intel." "What did it cost?" "Cost in terms of what?" "Lives." "I'm not sure yet." "Okay." "So, fix it or move on, but don't brood." "You're burning up." "Why didn't you tell me you'd come to New York?" "If I hadn't seen you, we'd have missed each other." "It was a last-minute assignment." "You know my agency." "We make it up as we go along." "When did you let your hair get like this?" "Does that mean you like it?" "No." "How come you never settled down, started a family?" "The life I lead?" "What's the point?" "You're getting old." "The mess I made" "To fix it I'm going to have to do things I'd rather not." "14th Street." "The bus will now be making express stops only." "Running express only from 14th." "Go." "I need to speak to your lieutenant." "Everyone's going to be interviewed in a while, ma'am." "No, not in a while, now." "I think I might have been the target." "Ma'am, there was 28 other passengers riding that bus." "Typically an act like this doesn't target one specific person." "I understand." "What's atypical here is the nature of the case I'm involved in." "In my opinion, Agent Roseti, this could have been a threat against the firm." "Detective Huntley is handling our private security." " You're NYPD?" " Retired, yes." "Hmm." "Anyway, why don't you bring me up to speed on the relevant details?" "Excuse me one moment." "Yes?" "I wanted you to know I got the test results back." "And?" "I'm sorry, we still don't have clarity." "What do you mean?" "I'm not happy with what I'm seeing." "I recommend ordering another round of tests." "So Catherine doesn't have mono?" "No." "She doesn't." "What's the worst case scenario?" "Leukemia, but we won't know anything for certain until the additional tests come back." "It can present in several different ways." "What are the odds?" "I prefer not to think that way." "What are the odds that Catherine has leukemia?" "Based on what I'm seeing, the literature says there's a 2.8% chance." "Roughly one in 36 who present this way are positive." "Patty, are you there?" "Yeah." " I'll call you as soon as I know anything." " All right." "Anything you want to share about the waiting?" "Will sharing get me Catherine's test results any faster?" "When you're feeling uncertain about things like this, do you tend to think the outcome will be positive or negative?" "No answer?" "It depends on the situation." "The situation we're talking about is Catherine." "Do you fear the worst?" "Of course I do." "I mean, wouldn't you?" "You're angry." "It was a stupid question." "Anger often covers up other feelings." "Fear, sadness, hurt." "You're here because of your anger issues, Patty." "Can you at least acknowledge that you have a rather large capacity for anger?" "When I'm asked a stupid question, yes." "I'm sorry." "Catherine's nurse asked if she was baptized." " Was she?" " I'm not religious." " So she wasn't." " No." "Often people turn to religion in times like this." "It would make sense if waiting for the test results made you feel helpless." "And often when people feel helpless, it's common for them to turn to religion." "Are you suggesting religion for me?" "I didn't bring it up." "You're the one who talked about your granddaughter's baptism." "Do you wish you could turn to religion now?" "My mother was religious because she was weak." "That's interesting." "Why do you think she was weak?" "She couldn't stand up to my father." "So she felt helpless." "She did nothing to help herself." "There's a difference." "Maybe that's why she found religion." "To help herself." "It was pathetic." "I think, um, religion for her was like a..." "insurance policy." "I have a civil suit pending against me." "I'm being asked to turn over High Star's records." "You sure you don't want something?" "They make a great Caesar." "No." "I need your help." "I can't turn over my company's records, Trent." "Neither can you." "Why?" "What's it got to do with the Defense Department?" "It'll compromise national security." "I can't interfere with a civil case, all right?" "You know how I stick my beak out for you when I can, but you're getting too much attention right now, Howard." "You should probably take a look at this." "The Defense Department's okay with that going public?" "You weren't doing this on your own?" "Of course not." "I was helping out the Agency." "We kept D.O.D. out of it for obvious reasons." "But believe me, you guys benefitted from the intelligence." "I can't even count how many different ways this is illegal." "Trent, if this lawsuit goes forward, it not only gives me a black eye, but it'll blow back on the military and you guys will wind up with another Abu Ghraib on your hands." "Help yourself by helping me." "I think Nasim is ready for the deposition tomorrow." "Opposing counsel is Jack Shaw." "Hmm." "Hired by Ashcroft to work for the D.O.J. during the Bush administration." "Yeah." "He and Erickson share the same politics." "Have you ever gone up against Shaw?" "We appeared on a panel together once." "He's smart, measured, doesn't shoot off his mouth." "How's Catherine?" "The doctors made any progress?" "No." "One test just leads to another." "There's a one in 36 chance that she has leukemia." "If it's not that, it's another flu, or..." "Jesus, one in 36." "That's... kind of scary." "I grew up with a guy whose younger brother had some type of leukemia." "He was diagnosed age five." "And he was fine, he made a full recovery." "Happy holidays." "It's done, Howard." "The documents have been taken care of." "Shit." "Shit." "This is bullshit." "Hello?" "Patty, we can't use any of this." "By order of the Defense Department, it's all been redacted." "It's okay." "We still have the deposition." "The bomb had enough juice to take out everyone on the bus, but it didn't detonate because the kill switch was still engaged." "Well, thanks for keeping me apprised, Agent Roseti." "The guy screwed up." "We were able to find a strand of hair, and we're analyzing it for DNA." "How's it going in here?" "I think we've got enough;" "it's a good sample." "What's our E.T.A.?" "We should be able to run this guy's DNA through the database in an hour." "What the hell is going on, Jerry?" "My lawyer just left for Patty Hewes' office." "The deposition's going forward." "I did my job." "What the fuck are you doing?" "!" "So, we'll, uh, sit together on this side of the table." "This woman will record all that I say?" "Yes." "And it's going to take several hours so if you get uncomfortable or you need a minute, just let either of us know." " Good afternoon." " Jack." "Pleasure to see you again, Patty." "Ms. Parsons." "Mr. Marwat, nice to meet you." "I'm Jack Shaw, opposing counsel." " It's okay." " Hello." "Okay, let's have a seat, shall we?" "Listen up." "We got lucky." "We found the suspect in the database." "We have a name, address and profile." "The suspect is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous." "Thank you very much for appearing here today, Mr. Marwat." "I'd like to begin by asking you if you are familiar with any employee of the High Star Security Corporation." "Yes." "And what is the name of the employee that you allegedly know?" "Christopher Sanchez." "How would you describe your relationship with Mr. Sanchez?" "Chris is my friend." "I see." "So your friend worked for the company?" "Mr. Marwat, you stated that you provided area maps for a High Star employee." "Is that correct?" "Yes." "Do you know what those maps were used for?" "To locate men suspected of terrorist activities." "Okay, let's go." "What?" "What do you believe a High Star employee would do if he located the type of man that you're referring to?" "High Star employees would remove these men for questioning." "Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're going to have to stop." "What's wrong?" "What took you so long?" "I stopped for a massage." "FBI." "Nasim Marwat, you're under arrest." "What are the charges?" "Conspiracy to commit a terrorist act." "I've done no such thing." "When?" "!" "He's been in protective custody." "This is not possible." "What the hell is going...?" "He's not even in the system." "Sir, excuse me." "I hacked into the fed database, no problem." "Good." "I was able to get your terrorist into the system." "Didn't know if you, uh, needed this back." "Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "How'd you get that anyway?" "After he checked out of his hotel." "Sir, thank you for your trouble." "No trouble at all." "I went into his room, found some hair in the wastebasket." "He must have shaved his beard after he came to the States." "I imagine he wanted to blend in." "One in 36." "Keep moving."
