"David and I had a fight." "Did you contact my parents?" "They're on their way." "And Patty?" "We can't find her, but we're still watching tom shayes." "Bail is set at $1.5 million." "Where are they taking her?" "Riker's island." "We are doing everything that we can to make your grandfather comfortable." "You've been great." "Lila." "Patty needs to know who got in that limo with Frobisher." "I didn't know who he was when we first saw him." "What's his name?" "He set Katie up to perjure herself." "Who's pulling your strings, Gregory?" "This guy worked for the SEC for 20 years." "He was a lead investigator who tried to take down Frobisher." "Five years ago, I went out on a limb for you." "Gregory's a liability." "He's lost his nerve." " We need a new strategy, Arthur." " So find one." "I'd like to bring in a specialist, help prepare you for the deposition" "Mr. Malina's life was threatened." "It's quite possible that the other side got to him." "You need to disappear." "I cannot protect you." "Without Gregory Malina, we're going to lose the case." "Please don't do this." "I don't want this life." "We're done." "He called off the engagement?" "Maybe we went too far." "Do you regret what we did?" "6 WEEKS EARLIER" "Cocoa." "Katie, Katie, it's me." "Get out of here!" "Katie, please." "Get away from me, Gregory, or I will call the police!" "Damages Season 1 Episode 9 Do You Regret What We Did?" "Nothing would make me happier than to help take down Arthur Frobisher." "Thank you for meeting with us again, Mr. Moore." "I know it's frustrating, but there was simply no proof that Frobisher did anything wrong." "But you think he did?" "Who doesn't?" "Dumping his stock, accounting irregularities." "I really wish I could be more helpful." "In the meantime, if you want to talk strategy, I'm at your disposal." "Well, there was one other thing we wanted to ask you about." "We were wondering about one of Frobisher's shareholders." "Does that name mean anything to you?" "Gregory Malina." "Doesn't ring a bell." "But let me make some calls." "I'll see what I can find." "If there's one thing Arthur Frobisher is good at, it's tying up loose ends." "All right, I'll see you soon, okay?" "Hey, geez." " David, hey." " Lila." "You know what?" "You rescheduled your rotation." "I almost missed you." "That would have sucked." "Is everything okay, or." "I sold the defibrillator, and you were amazingly helpful." "Which is why I'm going to take you to dinner." "as a thank-you." "It's a little italian place." "I'm sorry." "I've got to pass on that." "Why?" "You know why." "It's just dinner." "It is not just dinner, and you know that." "Look, your grandfather was sick." "I was the doctor who was trying to help him." "It's very common for emotions to get mixed up." "My emotions aren't mixed up." "We have talked about this." "I'm not available." "Gregory Malina owned Frobisher stock?" "I don't know what you're talking." "Is there anything you didn't do for that kid?" "Gregory worked for me." "That's all." "Save it, Ray." "I wouldn't give a shit about your pathetic schoolgirl crush." "You watch yourself!" "But I'm not gonna let your bullshit take me down." "Malina emptied his bank account." "He's back in the states." "Did you know that?" "So what do you want from me?" "I want you on my team." "I don't understand." "I don't like you, Ray, but I realized an amazing thing on the way over here." "You're not my problem." " Arthur is." " Look, I have a duty." "Patty hewes is a ball's hair away from breaking this thing wide open." "So I'm going to do what you couldn't, Ray." "What is that?" "Put an end to this thing." "The SEC has been a dead end so far." "But Mr. Moore is looking into Gregory Malina's stock sale." "Good, because Gregory's back in play." "What did you find?" "When Frobisher told larry popler that Gregory Malina was alive." "he was telling the truth." "A flight manifest?" "The day Gregory disappeared, he was booked on a plane to mexico city." "Outside the reach of the court." "There was no sign of him until he used his credit card yesterday." "He rented a car about 40 miles north of the border in alamogordo." "Any idea why he'd come back?" "When is the last time you spoke to Katie?" "Not since she went back home." "That could be it." "He felt bad about setting her up." "He tried to call her after he burned her as a witness." "Get in touch with her." "I got one of these in the mail, too." "You going to this thing?" "The gala for the blind justice project?" "No, I'm not." "Says Patty hewes is giving the keynote speech." "Could be interesting." "Art, don't even think about it." "You're not going." "Nancy, it's good to see you." " Good to see you." " This is art." "Thank you for coming in." "Pleasure." " Yeah, let's, uh, sit down there." " All right." "So, Ray says you're the best out there at, well, preparing a witness." "I hope I can help." "Good." "What exactly are we gonna do?" "Do you ever sing around the house?" "Maybe in the shower?" "Nope." "Oh, come on." "I hum." "This exercise will help you relax." "You want to look for a way in, not a way out." "I'd do a lot better with Simon and Garfunkel." "You can do whatever you want, but you're going to have to look comfortable answering" "Patty's questions about corporate malfeasance, about accounting irregularities and about why you stole the life savings of 5,000 people." "That might be easier than singing." "All right." "Yes, mom, I'm fine." "How's montreal?" "Montreal is great but I left my video camera." "Yeah, I know." "Dad left a message." "He left it behind." "He didn't give me an address, though." "Where do you want me to send it?" "Hold on, mom; that's your phone." "Okay, dear." "You can answer it." "Hello?" "Katie?" "Katie, it's Ellen." "I've been trying." "Shit." "Ms. Parsons." "Ms. Parsons." "Mr. Moore." "Please get in." "Look, I want to help you." "I wasted years of my life going after Frobisher, and my hands were tied every step of the way." "Why?" "Why?" "Because the man has friends in high places." "But I know things, information that we couldn't use in the government case that would be invaluable to Patty hewes in a civil trial." "Like what?" "I sit on boards, Miss Parsons." "I advise political campaigns." "I will not go public." "If you call me as a witness," "I'll lie." "Frobisher is a powerful man." "You want my help?" "That's the deal." "Talk to your boss." "But for now, start by looking into Arlington." "I have bad news." "What?" "It's confirmed." "What is?" "You've lost your mind." "Your keys." "How is that possible?" "You must've had a psychotic break." "You know what you need?" "A weekend at the beach, the hamptons." "You serious?" "Tom told me about a great place." "I think if we don't get away, I may lose you forever." "Yes, absolutly." "And these were the spvs that you had created?" "Yes, I think in our country, the more popular term is spe." "Spe?" "That's right, spe." "Special purpose entity." "And aren't these spes commonly incorporated toward illegitimate ends?" "Do you have a question or are you just trying to ruin our concentration?" "Neither." "George moore came to see me last night." "Where?" "Outside my apartment." "He met with you alone?" "He wants to help us off the record." "How?" "Arlington." "He told me to look into it." "Arlington, Virginia." "Some girl was killed in a car crash." "It was Frobisher's car." "It was 25 years ago." "It's old news." "There were conflicting accounts." "But the official police report backed Frobisher's story that the girl was driving." "Yeah, it did, but I ran a history." "And in the last 25 years, the girl's family went from living in a trailer park to being the biggest landowner in Arlington." "So you think Frobisher's paying people off?" "He screws up, he buys silence." "Katie,Gregory, it's Frobisher's M.O." "That won't help us in the deposition unless we can back it up." "I want to meet with Moore again, push him further, work the relationship." "All right." "I'll go with you." "No, wrong move, Tom." "He approached Ellen alone, that's the way he wants it." "Just hear me out, please." "Hanson police department, please." "There's a warrant out for my arrest." "Yes, it's an emergency." "You talk to the police, they're gonna send me back to New York and Frobisher will kill me." "I'm not running anymore." "You can do whatever you want." "You tell me one lie, and I will cut your dick off." "Ms. Parsons?" "Yes?" "I'm sorry to bother you, but we really need to talk." "I'm sorry, what is this in reference to?" "Your fiancé." "What about him?" "I think we're gonna want to talk privately." "Everything that happened to you was my fault." "The only reason why you got involved in any of this was because" "I brought you to the condo that night." "Ray fiske gave me a thousand shares of Frobisher's stock to go down to florida, rent the condo in my name." "What for?" "At the time, I had no idea." "I didn't ask, it was a lot of money." "I was broke." "It turns out that Frobisher was going to meet with some guy from the government." "Who?" "I can't tell you that." "It would put you at too much risk, trust me." "But this whole thing started because he thought that you saw him." "But I didn't." "I told them that, but they didn't believe me." "So they just try to buy me off with a restaurant." "But they kept postponing it." "They had to keep you quiet during the government trial." "And what about you?" "How long have you been on their payroll?" "A few weeks after florida, they... hooked me up with a job at the consulting firm." "And who was the guy in the limo?" "I have no idea." "Once you started talking to Patty Hewes, they just needed to burn you as a witness." "So they gave you luke Richards'name to set me up." "They used us both." "And we let them." "These guys have all the power, and they're convinced everyone's out to get them." "How do you know David, Miss." "Dimeo." "Lila Dimeo." "I met him at the hospital, he was treating my grandfather." "And what exactly can I help you with, Miss." "Dimeo?" "God, I'm a terrible liar." "I'm not here about David." "Then why are you here?" "I'm here about you." "David doesn't love you anymore." "Excuse me?" "Who are you?" "I must seem crazy, but I thought you should know." "I've been sleeping with him." "I think you better leave." "Ellen, there's no point in getting mad." "You need to leave." "We can't change how we feel." "What are you doing?" "Security." "Fifth floor, Hewes and associates." "Ellen Parsons'office." "I feel sorry for you." "Right away, thank you." "You didn't deserve this." "Why weren't you at my arraignment?" "I tried." "I tried, but with everything that's been going on." "What?" "What happened with you and Patty?" "I know that you're not telling me everything." "He called off the engagement?" "Maybe we went too far." "Do you regret what we did?" "So there's bourbon in the kitchen." "And remember to walk cory." "Where can I reach you?" "I'll be at the beach house." "Tom has the number." "Storm cleared montauk last night." "Should be a perfect weekend." "Thank you, Perry." "Ellen." "everything's going to be all right." "That's insane." "She is crazy" "Who is she?" "Her name is Lila Dimeo." "She's lying, we did not sleep together." "She said that you treated her grandfather." "Yeah, I did." "I met her at the hospital." "But then her grandfather was released." "And did you see her after that?" "Yes." "No. yeah." "Yes or no?" "She had this medical equipment that she wanted to sell, so I took a look at it for her." "What?" "She asked me to price a defibrillator for her." "Where?" "At her apartment." "So you were at her apartment?" "What the hell were you doing at her apartment?" "I just, I gave her a price and that's it." "Nothing happened." "Then why are you so uncomfortable?" "Because I feel like you're accusing me of something." "David, a woman came into my office today and told me that she was sleeping with you." "Listen to me." "I hardly know her." "Clearly, the woman is nuts." "Well, stay away from her." "Tell her to stay away from me." "Patty Hewes knows about Arlington." " How in hell did." " I told her associate." "Jesus!" "The last thing Arthur wants is for that shit to come out in a deposition." "That is a mighty risky game you're playing." "Relax." "Arlington's all his." "You and I have nothing to do with that." "And when that asshole finds out that Patty Hewes knows about it he'll have to settle." "Just shut up and play your part." " Ms. Hewes." " Chin." " I was stunned when I learned." " Elbows off the table." "Ms. Hewes, I was stunned when I learned that the accounting firm had... defrauded my company." "Don't blink when you say that." "You were stunned?" "Why is that?" "I mean, you cashed out just in time." "You walked away with millions." "I gave that company everything I had." "and I failed." "my employees." "my family." "I failed pretty much everyone who ever believed in me." "Bullshit." "Stop making speeches." "You're trying too hard." "Bullshit?" "Don't you tell me bullshit." "You have no idea what I've been through." "Art." "This is why she's here." "Don't tell me bullshit." "People expect a ceo to be strong." "They see too much of the soft side, looks like an act." "You've got to be heartfelt without sounding like a pussy." "Now, you think you can do that?" "All right." "All right, fair enough." "Let's do this again." "Since when does the sec investigate car accidents?" "I'm not going to give you everything." "Okay." "Cindy lambert died in a car crash in 1983." "Frobisher said he wasn't driving, and the lambert family backed him up." " And now they're very rich." " Is that so?" "So I'm guessing the lambert family was given Frobisher stock." "If the SEC knew this, why didn't they use it in the criminal trial?" "The judge excluded it on relevance." "We were going after Frobisher for insider trading and accounting fraud." "What are you getting out of this?" "I tried to take Frobisher down and I failed." "I still want justice." "No." "If you did, you'd go public." "I think you have other reasons." "What happened between you two, Mr. Moore?" "Did Frobisher block your political career?" "Blackball you from his country club?" "Sleep with your wife?" "You have the truth." "Now use it against him." "Patty Hewes doesn't like surprises or hidden agendas." "I better not find out you have one." "Why did you tell me that you were married?" "It was their idea." "So you wouldn't tell anyone about us." "And after Florida, when you helped me with all of that stuff, was that all a part of the setup, too?" "No." "That was me." "This is gonna sound crazy." "I know." "what I did to you, Katie, is unforgiveable." "but I liked you." "I've always liked you." "When I was in Mexico hiding, I thought." "I just." "I just wanted to see you again." "I thought." "maybe if we spoke, if I... if I could just... explain things, then maybe we could just..." "You ruined my life." " Hello?" " Hey." "It's me." "I know I shouldn't be calling." "I just wanted to say I've realized." "I was wrong back then." "Well." "you were?" "Yeah." "To let you." "expect more from me." "You know, the last time I saw you, you told me it was too late to change." "It's not." "You can change." "And you can withdraw from the case, Ray." "Cut those guys off." "All they do is hurt people." "It's not that simple." "It is." "You're not like them." "I know you want to do the right thing." "I'm sorry, Gregory." "For everything." "Take care, Ray." "The hotel's totally booked." "I don't know where we can go on such short notice." "This is your first weekend off in what." "Forever." "So ask for the beach house." "Ask who?" "No, thanks." "Mr. Moore insists on total anonymity." "We'll never get him to testify." "I question the guy's motives." "That's all right." "If we can confirm that the lambert family was given Frobisher stock, we can use it against Frobisher in the deposition." "Good." " Anything else?" " Yeah." "Ellen wants to use your beach house." "No." "I was just." "She wants to go away for thweekend." "Be my guest." "Thank you, but I couldn't possibly." "Ellen, it's just sitting there empty." "I have the gala this weekend." "Well, okay." "Thank you." "Get the keys from uncle pete." "I've been trying to reach Patty." "She won't call me back." "Go to the beach house." "I will, I will." "But, Ellen." "Go to the beach house, Tom." "Patty, it's me again." "You need to call me back." "Ah, Tommy!" "Didn't hear you coming." "Have you seen Patty?" "I was gonna ask you." "I need the keys to the beach house." "My name is Gregory Malina." "I've made this tape because right now," "I don't trust anyone... and I want to make sure my story gets out." "In 2002, I met Ray fiske." "I didn't know it at the time, but he was Arthur Frobisher's lawyer." "Shortly after," "Mr. Fiske sent me down to Florida to help set up a meeting." "I didn't know what this meeting was about, but I know that Arthur Frobisher was in contact with a member of the securities and exchange commission." "The name of that member... is George Moore." "Ah, keys to the castle, my lady." "Ah, thanks, pete." "And your chariot." "What's this?" "Patty heard you're renting a car and she won't have it." "Insists that you take hers." "Thank you." "What's the matter, boy?" "Need to go out?" "You were right about lila dimeo, she's nuts." "What do you mean?" "I did a background on her." "Sophomore year, she got kicked out of college for stalking her professor, and since then, she's had three restraining orders put on her." "Jesus." "Stay away from her, David." "Come on boy" "Stay." "Oh, my god." "Holy shit." "Gregory?" "It's done." "It was Katie Connor's area code." "You were right." "Good." "Oh, my god!" "This is amazing!" "I can't this !" "Come here." "Come on" "Arlington?" "She's gonna dredge up that shit?" "I thought we had it sealed!" "Well, Patty's people came to me." "They know the family owns stock." "Patty's gonna say you paid him off." "You know something?" "I don't give a shit." "You know what?" "I'll handle it." "You know, Arlington," "Katie Connor, Gregory Malina." "Let her depose me." "We're going to trial, Ray." "No, we're not." "It's not even relevant!" "That was 25 years ago, for christ's sake!" "It has nothing to do with this trial!" "Patty gets it into the deposition, she'll undermine your credibility." "Burden of proof's lower in a civil trial, Art." "Fact is, she'll use it to establish an M.O." "She'll say it proves you have a history... of buying off witnesses." "You got to settle." "He's right, Arthur." "I heard him, George." "What are you gonna do?" "When the blind justice project asked me to present this award tonight to richard lamontagne," "I didn't know what to say." "Not because I was flattered, but because I didn't even know who he was." "so I googled him, and you might be surprised to learn that richie, in his youth, won three atv motocross championships." "I mean, I was." "until i realized I spelled his name wrong." "How is it that a woman who's argued cases before the supreme court hates to give a speech in public?" "There are nine people on the supreme court and only six are awake on any given day." "Excuse me." "May I?" " Okay." " Thank you." "Shall we?" "I caught you on tv last week." "You don't like me very much, do you?" "Why would you say that?" "But why should you?" "You don't really know me." "So that's why you're here." "I'm here... because I'm willing to negotiate." "There's nothing to negotiate." "This isn't about money." "Oh, no, no, no, of course not." "I know you don't give a shit about justice, Patty." "So what do you want?" "I want you disgraced." "I want history to erase your every achievement." "I want you to feel the disgust in your children's eyes when they look on you in shame." "This has been lovely." "It's rude to abandon a girl on the dance floor." "The song's over, Patty." "Almost as bad as abandoning a girl in a burning car." "All right." "Let's get this over with, shall we?" "$300 million." "Must have been horrible, her face smashed clear through the windshield." "$450 million." "Blood everywhere, gasoline, searing heat." "I'm told that you never forget the smell of burning flesh." "$850 million, that's my final offer." "Did she shout out your name when she died?" "Arthur!" "Coffee's ready." "Or do you just want to call it a night?" "No." "No, sorry." "No, I want you to keep playing Patty Hewes." "6 WEEKS LATER" "Patty, it's me again." "Where the hell are you?"
