"Someone's covering it up." "Who?" "The police searched Patty's apartment, and there was no one there and no signs of a struggle." "But I'm telling you the truth." "Okay, then let's start with what you know." "David and I had a...." "Ellen, talk to me." "Take your time." "David and I had a fight." "So I stayed at Patty's apartment." "That's when the man attacked me." "She told me she was going away for the weekend." "I'd never seen him before." "I don't know who he was." "I couldn't trust anyone." "I didn't know what I was doing." "I knew." "I knew I had to find David." "If you want to help me, you've got to find Patty Hewes." "It's too heavy." "I said not so heavy." "I think you need more foundation." "I was hoping we'd have a chance to talk before the taping." "That will be fine, thanks." "Ten minutes before typing." "I don't know, Ray, I think you went a little light." "I mean, you and I, we both have these deep set eyes." "If I don't get a little color on me, I look like a vampire." "How much sleep do you get, Ray?" "Why you ask?" "I'd say I've been getting about... five hours for the last two decades." "Sounds about right." "What did you have on your mind?" "Gregory Malina." " Gregory who?" " Don't bother, Ray." "No bother at all." "So, are you guys making nice in here?" "Well, I know I am." "Thank you both for coming, and, let's have some fun out there." "Great." "Try a little bronzer, Ray." "If anything happens to Mr. Malina before I can depose him." "I'm going to hold you personally responsible." "What kind of man do you think I am?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "You okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine." " I'm sorry." "It's okay." "Yeah, I'm all right." "Thank you." "Gregory Malina?" "Yeah." "How..." "You've been served." "Good luck." "Excuse me." "I was wondering." "Is it okay if I park there?" "Jesus, Ray." "Knock." "Thought it was best not to attract attention." "Accommodations okay?" "Your boss is worth billions, you stick me in this shithole." "Can't even get ESPN." "If you hadn't strayed from the last place," " I wouldn't have had to stick you here." " I need air, Ray." "I can't stay inside all day." "I've filed a motion to quash the subpoena." "When I win it, you'll be in the clear." "I just need to know one thing." "Did you ever tell anyone about the stock sale?" "I mean anyone, Gregory?" "No." "No one." "All right, then." "Wait, that's it?" "You're leaving?" "Why, Gregory?" "You want me to stay?" "Don't start with that shit, okay, Ray." "I'm just checking on you." "I shouldn't even be here." "You got any money for the snack machine?" "I was told you don't medicate." "That's right." "Not without parental consent." "Well, why aren't they speaking?" "We require at least three hours a day of silence." "It's important that they turn their thoughts inward." "Do you think Michael's ready to come home?" "No." "That's up to you." "But we operate on a month-to- month basis, so." "So you need a decision." "It's hard, I know, but you're going to get a much better idea after you talk to your son." "Certainly is quiet here." "Yeah, that's the way we like it." "No music, no video games, no computers." "And you say Michael has adjusted to all this?" "Absolutely." "I mean, don't get me wrong, he's far from perfect, but he's a good kid." "He's made a lot of progress." "I think sending your boy here may have been a wake-up call he needed." "I hope so." "Do you think Patty has something to do with this?" "She is the only one who knew I was staying in her apartment." "You were right." "I was playing games with you." "I was very angry, and I was acting out." "Acting out?" "You sent me a hand grenade and almost killed your stepfather." "It was a prank." "It was a mistake." "I'm sorry." "Are you eating?" "Is the food terrible?" "It's fine." "They treating you okay?" "They treat me the way I deserve to be treated." "What does that mean?" "I brought this on myself." "I'm responsible for my own actions." " Well, I have a decision to make." " I know." "The end of the month is coming, and you need to decide if you want to keep me here." "And?" "I want you to come home." "I think that would be a mistake." "Why?" "Because I like it here." "Life is simple, no distractions." "Michael, this isn't you." "Well, that was the point, wasn't it?" "To change me?" "Your behavior, not you." "I didn't send you here to become someone else." "You sent me here to prove a point." "That you're in control, that you dominate, that, no matter what, you'll always win." "And you're right, mom, you will." "I've finally realized that." "I don't want to win anything." "Sure you do, and I'm okay with that now." "Getting away from you was the best thing that could've happened to me." "It gave me clarity." "Did it?" "You wanted to completely control of my life." "so you took away my free will." "Some pretty terrific parenting, real mother-of-the-year type stuff." "And I'm glad you did it, because I like it here." "No, you don't." "You're coming home." "I'm not going anywhere." "I've tried to contact her." "No one seems to know where she is." "I'm in conference with my client." "Your client's fingerprints are over the murder weapon." "You had no grounds to take her fingerprints." "We didn't have to, the State already did." "Her application to the bar." "We found her prints in her fiancé's blood on the murder weapon." "Ellen Parsons, you're under arrest for the murder of David Connor." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law." "You have the right to speak to an attorney and have an attorney present for any questioning." "From me?" "Around me?" "Are you crazy?" "I think it was more you." "No, it was definitely." "My side should be in my pocket." "I'll just go grab my stuff." "I'll meet you down there in ten minutes?" " Cool." " All right." "Heading out?" "We may have some useful background on Gregory." "The manager at his old restaurant is willing to talk." "And Tom asked you to go along?" "He thought it made sense because I've met Gregory before, but if you need me to stay here." "No." "No, that's smart." "We need everything we can get to fight Fiske's motion." "Is this a... hydrangea?" "My mother gave it to me." "You and Tom have... really picked up from where you left off before he was fired, haven't you?" "Tom and I have always gotten along." "Do you think he's... fully committed to working here again?" "As far as I can tell." "How often do you water this?" "Not often, as you can see." "I don't have much of a green thumb." "Has Tom ever... approached you outside the office?" "Yeah." "A few times." "You know, a few weeks ago, he was thinking of starting his own firm." "I heard." "He was very angry with me." "Well, he hasn't mentioned anything." "I hope he didn't try to hire you." "Should I be offended?" "Good luck at the restaurant." "Keep an eye on Tom for me, will you?" "Let me know how he's doing." "I should've told her the truth?" "What else did Patty say?" "Nothing, she just asked if you tried to hire me." "Out of the blue like that?" "Basically." " Jesus, Ellen, Patty knows." " What?" "Why else would she ask?" "How can she?" "Unless you told her." "I didn't." "So then we're fine, right?" "You didn't mention it to anyone?" " Not Andrew or Felicia or..." " No!" "Tom, I swear, I didn't." "I'm sorry if I screwed up." "No." "No, you didn't." "We'll be fine." "We're fine." "Come on, let's go." "The manager's waiting." "It's been years, but I had this favorite little haunt just off Plaza de la Revoluciòn." "Hola, muchacho." "Thank you, Hevelio." "I would appreciate a little more discretion." "Where's Gregory?" "You really think I'm gonna tell you that?" " I think you should." " You listen to me." "You are out of your goddamned mind, going after him like that." "What are you getting all excited about?" "I work for Art, not you, and you're making a big mistake." "We are not animals." "There are limits." "Gregory's a liability." "He's lost his nerve." "He's a liability?" "Do you have any idea the kind of scrutiny we'll be under if anything happens to that boy?" "You are gonna bring us all down with this commando shit." "I am not going to let your young friend sit across a table from Patty Hewes and face an inquisition." "He won't have to." "I've filed a motion to quash the subpoena." "We do have legal options available to us." "And what if you can't quash it?" "What does list do?" "That list is for programs that you've already recorded." "What are you trying to do?" "I want to record Greta tomorrow night." "What?" "What happened?" "I just deleted your Wild Kingdom." "You what?" "The one about the baboons?" "Haven't you watched that?" "No, I haven't." "Never mind." "They always replay that stuff." "So tell me, what did you think about the school?" "It was like a cult compound." "All the kids looked like zombies." "Gee, I'm sorry I didn't go with you." "What am I doing here?" "Pick programs to record." " You want me to do it?" " I can do it." "But Michael is okay?" "I don't know." "He is who he is." "He isn't like other kids." "No?" "What's he like?" "He's like me, he knows the place is bullshit." "He doesn't belong there." "So do we bring him back home?" " Let me do that." " No!" "I can do it." " Patty." " Fine." "You do it." "There." "You know, if he says he wants to stay," "maybe we should listen to him." "Your Honor, Gregory Malina was in Palm Beach with Katie Connor on june 18, 2002." "Katie Connor, who perjured herself at her own deposition." "Because Gregory Malina fed her a lie." "Really?" "And you have, what, an audio recording of this?" "Or videotape?" "Mr. Malina suborning perjury is not relevant to this case, Ms. Hewes." "Your Honor, it's a clear indication that" "Gregory Malina was a functionary in Arthur Frobisher's conspiracy to defraud his employees and shareholders." "You have no proof of that." "Your honor, Miss Hewes is claim of relevance is based solely on a vacation" "Mr. Malina took to Palm Beach." "My mother-in-law has a time-share in Sarasota." "Perhaps Miss Hewes would like to subpoena her." "We've also spoken to the manager of the restaurant where Gregory Malina worked in 2002." "He will testify that a wealthy patron paid Mr. Malina a huge sum of money to go down to Florida." "And who was this patron?" "I don't know, I'd like a chance to find out." "This is nothing but hearsay." "Perhaps." "What's not hearsay... is that Mr. Malina sold over" "1 000 shares of Frobisher stock the very same morning that Arthur Frobisher dumped his." "You have documentation?" "Yes, your Honor." "I would very much like to know how" "Miss Hewes came upon this information." "You know I'm not required to disclose that, Ray." "The subpoena stands." "And regarding your request, Miss Hewes, to expedite Mr. Malina's deposition..." "I'm going to go ahead and grant it." "Thank you, your Honor." "Call the next case, please." "Your lawyer's here." "Ellen, I'm so sorry." "I came as soon as I could." "Hollis Nye said you wanted to see me." "Tell me everything." "What happened to David?" "You're the only one I can trust." "Deposition?" "Nothing but." "T minus what now?" "27 hours, 14 minutes." "I need seconds, damn it!" "Seconds!" "What's wrong?" "I think we should talk to Patty." "Together." "What do you think?" "Honestly?" "Extraordinarily stupid idea." "Why?" "Conscience is a liability, Ellen." "You feel guilty, you unburden yourself, what happens?" "You feel better, but the people you're coming clean to?" "Trust me." "Maintaining the illusion of loyalty is far more effective than admitting the breach." "Nice." "Admitting the breach." "I like that." "What are you two talking about?" "Fiduciary ethics." "Gregory Malina's stock sale." " Can I talk to you?" " Sure." "Sorry to interrupt." "That's all right." "Ellen, there's something I need you to address." "Can I trust your total discretion?" "Of course." "I'd normally give this to Tom, but I think you can handle it." "What do you need?" "What is it?" "You said we needed to talk, Ray." "Not a bad view." "Yeah, well, I wouldn't know." "I've been staying away from the windows." "New York City." "I ever tell you what happened the week after I moved here?" "Blackout, right?" "Well, what do you know about that?" "Young Gregory actually listened to me every once in a while." "Yeah, well, you told me some pretty interesting stories." "It was a different city then." "The Mayor Beame years." "Porn in Times Square, pickpockets." "Seems almost quaint now." "They say Giuliani cleaned everything up, but... someone will always find a new way to cut your throat." "Is that why you came here, Ray?" "Tell me a history lesson?" "You need to disappear." "What are you talking about?" "I couldn't kill the subpoena." "So I'll lie." "Look, I just want to get this over with." "That won't work anymore." "Patty Hewes knows about your stock sale." "I didn't tell anybody anything." "Whether you did or didn't makes no matter now, she knows, and there's no way around it." "I'm sorry." "Like you really give a shit about me, Ray." "It makes no sense, and I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I do actually." "So why don't you do me a favor, and get the hell out of here." "Where am I supposed to go, Ray?" "You're young yet." "You can still start over." "I almost envy you the opportunity." "You envy me?" "You reach a certain point in life, and it's too late to change." "You still have time." "I don't know why I believed you would help me." "I should've seen it." "Seen what?" "That your whole life is a lie." "Maybe I'll stay." "Tell the truth." "That would not be wise." "I cannot protect you anymore, Gregory." "Just leave." "Looks like our boy, Gregory Malina, is gonna be deposed after all." "Make sure it doesn't get screwed up this time." "I'll do it myself." "Get out of here." " Tom, can I..." " Not now, Ellen, not now." "I should've just told her the truth." "Why didn't you?" "It was instinct." "I was protecting Tom, or trying to." "Well, you said that he's always been good to you." "Why wouldn't you want to protect him?" "Because you should never assume that your boss knows less than you do." "And now if tom goes to Patty and tells her that I lied, then I'm totally exposed." "No, he'd be hanging himself." "Why would he do that?" "To protect himself." "If tom thinks that I can't keep a secret, he's going to want to get to Patty first." "Wait, back up." "Why would..." "Patty care if Tom tried to hire you?" "Who knows?" "Patty said to keep an eye on Tom." "Then she specifically pulled me out of his office and gave me a job that she would normally give to him." "That's weird." "It's like she doesn't want me and Tom to trust each other." "She's driving a wedge between us." "You know, I think you may be losing your mind." "The worst part about it... is whatever she's doing, it's working." "Tom wouldn't even look me in the eye today." "Everything I did, I felt like I was trying too hard." "Wait, this is crazy." "Ellen, Patty's doing this, Tom's doing that." "What do you want to do?" "It's not about me." "I have never seen you like this." "Just keep it simple, okay?" "You'll feel better if you tell Patty the truth." "If I do," "Tom will be pissed, and I need his support." "And then if I don't, and Patty finds out." "Just make up your mind, Ellen." "You want to play head games like these people, or do you want to be yourself?" "Oh, you got to be kidding me." "God damn it." "Shit." "Ah, it's good to meet you, Gregory." "Patty Hewes." "I know who you are." " That guy..." " Has been protecting you." "I imagine you're very confused right now." "A lot of people are making promises to you." "But trust me, Gregory, I am the only one looking out for you." "Yeah?" "What about after I'm deposed?" "I know how these things go." "You'll get what you need from me, and then you'll toss me aside." "We've been keeping you safe, and we'll continue to do so." "Arthur Frobisher's not the only one with resources." "Gregory, you're not a bad guy." "The people that you are protecting?" "They are bad." "They have ruined people's lives, including Katie Connor's." "Look, I..." "I never wanted that to happen." "Well... this is your chance to make amends." "You think Katie's the only one?" "There are 5, 000 people who lost everything." "They deserve justice." "And believe it or not, you're the only one who can get it for them." "It's time to do the right thing." "Malcolm will escort you to the deposition." "All you need to do is show up." "and tell the truth." "Documents are all here." "Signature papers are flagged." "Tell Tom I'll be back in time for Gregory's deposition." "Where should I tell him you're going?" "You'll think of something." "Miss Hewes?" "Are you sure you want to go through with this?" "I appreciate your concern, but I think it's necessary." "This is just between the two of us." "Of course." "Wait, so you can't tell me where she went?" "Or she told you not to tell me?" "Tom, it's a personal thing for her." "Patty said it wasn't important enough for you to worry about." "Not important enough." "Those are the words she used?" "Yeah, I think." "Don't." "Don't spin it for me." "What words did she use, exactly?" "Look... when Patty gets back, why don't you just talk to her about it?" "You said yourself you never try to guess what's in her head." "Right." "I don't want to get in the middle of this." "Forget about it." "Did you want me to lie?" "I could have told you she had a doctor's appointment, or made something up." "No, honestly, don't worry about it." "You know me." "I am not playing games." "No, you're doing the right thing." "You're a good soldier." "You're following your orders." "It's great." "Don't worry about it, honestly." "What are you writing?" "A journal." "They make us write our thoughts down every day." "I'd like to read that sometime." "It's private." "Any thoughts about me in there?" "Next time you rummage through my private stuff, I'm sure you'll figure it out." "We need to decide." "I already did." "I'm staying." "I'm not paying for you to stay here." "Well, I'm not going back with you." "If you won't pay, then I'll just go somewhere else." "Where?" "I don't know." "But I'm not coming home." "All right." "Then I've brought you something." "What's that?" "Emancipation papers." "Signed and notarized." "All they need is your signature, and you're free." "Emancipation papers?" "A full parental divorce." "I've also included a form to release your college fund, so if you want to stay here, you can pay for it yourself." "I'm tired of fighting you, Michael." "You sign these papers, and you're officially on your own." "You want control?" "You've got it." "You win." "I've tried it my way." "Let's try yours." "This is Gregory." "Leave a message." "Good." "Don't answer the phone." "Take care of yourself." "We on schedule?" " Haven't heard otherwise." " Deposition's at 10:00." "And Gregory?" "We've got eyes on him." "Looking sharp." "You sure you can get me out of here okay?" "We'll be fine." "I just realized." "I never thanked you for saving my life." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Right." "Anyway, you should thank Patty Hewes." "I will." " Ray." " Patty." "So, would you care for coffee, tea?" "No, I'm good." "Thank you." "You ever been deposed?" "Easiest thing in the world." "All you gotta do is tell the truth." "After five years, that will be a relief." "We gotta go." "Shit, my watch." "Are you ready to go?" "I think your witness has other priorities." "Gentlemen, i'm afraid we're going to have to reschedule for another day." "Excuse me." "I don't know what to say." "I lost him." "Then find him." "God dam it!" "Can we clear the air, please?" "Not now." "This Gregory thing is a disaster." "We really need to talk." "We need to work." "Tom, this is bullshit." "Get out of my office." "We need each other." "From day one you've had my back." "You're the only reason I have a job here." "I would never do anything to bet Ray that." "Did you tell Patty that I tried to hire you?" "No, I didn't." "I already told you that." "I wouldn't lie about something like that." "Yeah, but since then." "No, I didn't." "Did you?" "You know the answer to that of course not." "We need to make a decision right now." "We're either gonna trust each other, or we're not." "There's no in between." "You're absolutely right." "Well, you can trust me." "Can I trust you?" "100%." "I need you to find Patty." "Nobody knows where she is." "But you always know where to find her." "That's why I think she..." "she doesn't want to be found." "Yeah, but why?" "I don't know, but Fiske really, really got to her." "It sounds like you were the last person to see her." "Help me." "Ellen, I'm not a defense attorney." "But Hollis Nye used to be one of the best in the city." "Please, Tom." "I need your help." "I'll do anything i can for you." "I've been thinking about it, and I feel as though I..." "I need to be honest with you." "when I was thinking about going out on my own," "I asked Ellen to come and work with me." "Thank you, Tom." "I appreciate that." "Ellen doesn't need to know about this conversation." "Keep an eye on her." "Let me know how she's doing." "I'm not here for myself." "I'm here as a spokesperson for 5, 000 victims of Arthur Frobisher's greed." "Care to respond?" "Greta, this is simply class warfare, a crass attempt by Miss Hewes to extort as much money" "Phil, is that you?" "The extortionist here is Arthur Frobisher." "He milked his company dry." "Not according to the 12 upstanding citizens who exonerated my client after that witch" "Well, hello." "Hey." "Welcome home." "Hungry?" "Starving." "You want a sandwich?" "I'll make you a sandwich." "Doesn't matter when you don't have the evidence." "Nor does it matter when the accused is guilty as sin." "Mr. Fiske, why isn't this case settled?" "You'll have to address that question to Mis Hewes." "My client has tried to be reasonable, but he was rebuffed." "Mr. Frobisher tried to get off cheap," " and we respectfully declined." " How's the case going?" "Great." "It's going great." "They want their day in court." "And when I've lined up my witnesses and my evidence in front of a jury, the facts will speak for themselves." "Hey, it's me." "I just saw Ellen." "You better not come back here, Patty." "Mr. Nye, Tom just left." "He's full of shit." "Stay on him." "He'll lead you to Patty."
