Deception (2013) s01e09 Episode Script
Good Luck with Your Death
In the effort to rush Lyritrol to market, lives were lost.
My father is ultimately responsible for everything.
Is this connected in any way to your sister's murder? This is your son.
What is happening? He's not my son, not anymore.
I need a bone marrow transplant.
I asked Mia if she would take the test.
She'll need your permission.
How do you get there? Murdering your own child? I mean, what's the math behind that? Get out of my house! Who is Wyatt? Do you love him? I love you, Wyatt.
I was in a car accident.
Now I'm in the hospital.
I lost the money in the accident.
She failed the polygraph, lost $1/2 million all in one day.
Stay close to her, find out what she's hiding.
Come in.
It's cold outside.
You scared me.
Sorry about that.
I heard someone walking around.
Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
I'll send Rosita in to clean it up.
But watch yourself.
You don't want to step on broken glass.
Nice view, Eddie.
Take a look.
Look familiar? The Lyritrol file.
How'd you get this? Not a fun read, especially the part where the children died.
I notice you left that part out of your press conference.
He's my brother.
He knows he's destroyed.
It's nobody else's business.
You know, there's always a secret behind a secret behind a secret with you, man.
All that information is gonna come out anyway when you testify against your father.
- I'm sorry? - You're my number one witness.
I mean, I'll probably need your brother as well.
I'm not your anything, will.
I did what I promised my sister I'd do, and I'm done.
Now it's all you.
I'm going to California to be with my family.
You can do that if you want.
I'll just have to go out there, cuff you in front of your daughters, bring you back.
My daughters are getting used to it.
Don't threaten me.
I'm a lawyer.
Aren't you the least bit curious as to how I got that file? It's a really great story.
That file was on a zip drive in the hit man's car that your father hired to kill Vivian and take it back.
Julian, be gentle with Vivian.
She's younger.
Come on.
Come play with us.
Ahh! What are you thinking about? You, my darling.
I doubt that.
Not with everything that's been going on.
It's sweet of you to lie.
I'll get to the bottom of all this.
Speaking of which, help me understand why you brought.
Joanna back into our house after she lost your money and failed that polygraph.
I need to find out what she's hiding.
- I hate to say I warned you.
- Then don't.
Happy anniversary.
They're beautiful.
Thank you.
Are you sure you still want to have our party? Absolutely sure.
You're sad about the boys.
Julian will come.
Julian? He's getting dressed, but please come in, make yourself at home.
I was just going for bagels.
How's he, uh, holding up? As good as you'd expect, having just found out your drug killed all those people.
24 kids.
Takes a certain constitution to live with a thing like that.
Julian doesn't have it.
How do you know about the kids? I must have read it somewhere.
No, I never published that information anywhere.
Purposely.
Julian must have told me.
Oh.
Well, I'm glad he has someone to talk to.
Hey, ed.
See you later.
I gotta talk to you.
So you two seem to be cozying up.
Is that what it's called when it lasts more than two weeks? You told her about the kids? No.
I can't face that.
Why would I tell her? I don't know.
I gotta I gotta go.
You just got here.
I'll, uh, I'll call you.
Where are we, Tom? Well, we're vetting the cover-up charges, and we are running down this offshore account, Zonocorp, but the paper trail leads right to you, Robert.
This whole file was allegedly taken off our server.
Did security put together a list of who's been in the server room? Your approved I.
T.
team, Edward, and you.
Tom, I don't even know where the damn server room is.
Someone used your pass on the same day that Edward logged in and retrieved the files.
Let's pick this up later.
Send Joanna in on your way out, will you? We need to focus on damage control.
He wants to see you.
Hey, did you want your usual breakfast? Come on in, have a seat.
Close the door, will you? Well, okay.
So let's see, um, human resources has some questions.
We realize we never did an interview.
Oh.
Everything okay? Fine.
Due diligence.
You lost quite a large sum of money.
Yeah, it was stolen in the accident.
You said.
Where were you employed before Bowers? Uh, Walderson & Associates.
It was private attorneys out of San Francisco.
How long were you employed there? Just under three years.
Have them send over a reference.
Right away.
We're not finished.
Where'd you work before that? Um, allied pledge.
It's an insurance firm.
This was while you were married? Yes, partly.
When were you divorced? Last year.
How many years were you married? Uh, I was um What year are we married? They say men are more likely to forget the date of their wedding anniversary than women.
But I always remember mine.
Of course, you would probably like to put that date out of your mind, because your marriage ended so violently.
December 21st.
It was four days before Christmas.
I was married for eight years.
Well, that's it for now.
You can go get me my usual breakfast.
Okay.
Looking for special agent Oh! There he is.
Edward, what's this? We back in love? Listen, Audrey Cruz knows how many kids died.
Who's Audrey Cruz? She's my brother's girlfriend.
She she works for Kirschner-Sims.
It's another drug company.
Listen, listen.
They have their own version of Lyritrol.
We're in a race to get to market.
Okay, so what are you saying? I don't know.
I mean I mean Look, look, I didn't tell Audrey about the kids, and my brother certainly didn't tell her, so, I mean, how did she know? - Look, maybe there's - How did she know? Maybe there's another copy of the file out there, all right? Maybe people are talking because the story broke.
Listen, Edward, just go home, all right? Take a hot shower, and lay off the booze.
All right? This is a murder investigation.
Sorry for the wait.
Why don't you roll up your sleeve there, Mia? It's Oh, I hate needles.
Kyle, be a good boyfriend.
Hold Mia's hand.
I got you.
All right, just a little pinch.
How long does the senator have? I mean, if he doesn't get his marrow? Six months, give or take.
Oh.
Well, let's hope I'm a match, then.
- Joanna.
- Oh, you scared me.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
I-I've, uh, been on edge ever since the accident.
How are you? Going to take some time off from Bowers.
Told the team good-bye, grabbed my stapler.
Figure out how to move forward.
Forward's good.
You never know what might pop up.
Audrey.
How's that going for you? I like her, I think.
She's easy.
Not easy like that.
I know what you meant.
It's just, um is it really real? Maybe.
See you later.
You guys are so hot for each other.
Can you just do it already? Hey, wait up.
I need to talk to you.
Will's been avoiding me.
I cannot be seen with you.
Do you not understand that? II really want to help with the investigation.
You guys should be using me.
I know things.
For instance, senator Haverstock has cancer.
Did you know that? No, I didn't know that.
Well, now you do.
See? I think Robert Bowers had my friend, Remy, killed.
I want to avenge his death.
Great, well, the FBI and the police are working on it, so if they need your help, I'll tell them to call you.
Here's something else, just for you.
Julian's new girlfriend? At Cornell, they used to call her "ho-lita," 'cause she slept with all of her professors when she was, like, 18.
Audrey used to go to Cornell? Not the interesting part of the story, but yes.
Do you want me to find out if she has incurable gonorrhea? Hey, you're jeopardizing my safety, and your own.
So stop following me.
Okay.
Gabe, what college did Ben Preswick go to? I need Walderson to send a reference over.
Robert's all over me.
Already done.
Do you feel safe going back in there? I can put a wire on you.
No, no, no.
I'm fine, it's fine.
But wait, Julian's new girlfriend and Ben Preswick went to school together.
Yeah, Audrey Cruz.
How did you know about her? 'Cause Edward won't shut up about her, either.
But what is he saying? She knew about the deaths of some children from the Lyritrol trial, and he withheld it from the press, so now he's all paranoid.
See, does that smell right to you? We're building a case against Robert Bowers, all right? Everybody's on board, so stop getting distracted.
So you're telling me that you think it's just a coincidence that both of them went to Cornell? Thousands of people go to Cornell, Joanna.
I'm dumping the pay phone from the Russian bakery.
If I find any numbers that lead back to Robert Bowers, we're done here.
We have, like, three seconds on this egg timer before Robert either fires me or tries to kill me, and you're telling me I'm just supposed to go pick up his dry cleaning and bring him breakfast? Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you to do.
I don't think we should be spending tax dollars digging up dirt on your boyfriend's new girlfriend.
Is that what you think this is about? You tell me what this is about.
I noticed he gave you a ride home from the hospital.
Yeah, well, somebody had to.
Look, this is my case, okay? And you are my asset.
So I am telling you, do not make a move.
Just take the man his breakfast, and try to forget about his son.
Screw you, Will.
- Hello? - Good news.
Mia is a match.
I'll have the consent form sent over.
That's wonderful.
Now I'm delighted to tell you to go die.
- Excuse me? - You made a bad deal.
You traded me a golf club in exchange for Mia's bone marrow.
Now I have both.
Frankly, I was surprised by your naivete.
I made a choice, Bobby, to take you at your word.
That was dumb.
If Mia could save your life by sneezing on you, I wouldn't allow it.
Good luck with your death.
Here you go, and, uh, is there anything else I can do for you? - That'll be all.
- Okay.
Actually, uh, no.
You can book me a massage for Sunday morning.
Sure.
Hi, I'd like to book a massage for Robert Bowers.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Sunday.
9:00.
Great, thank you.
Robert, I am so sorry.
I forgot that I have a dentist appointment.
Um, it's a root canal, so I'm going to be out all afternoon.
Go ahead.
Teeth are important.
Thank you.
We don't have much time if we're going to push up Xyrix's rollout date.
And I want a big splash.
Let the investors revel in the victory.
Rent the seaport and get a band.
Who's your plus one going to be? And not Julian Bowers.
I really like him, Frank.
He's damaged goods.
I damaged him.
I'll fix him.
Edward, what a surprise.
Shut up.
I don't like you.
What's your opening offer going to be? I'm sorry? When you make your bid for Bowers.
What? Look, I don't know what you're doing, but I promise you, I'm going to find out.
If Edward Bowers starts looking under rocks, will he find something that will affect the merger? Because that guy's smart.
You sold me on this idea, Audrey, and so far, fantastic, but if you're about to spring a leak, you fix it.
Am I going to regret you? I don't fail.
You know that.
I was so happy to get your call.
Ben would be thrilled to know that Cornell wants to pay tribute to him.
He never felt like he was Ivy league material.
Your brother was a good man.
He never let on how well he was doing.
Our parents died a few years ago, and I was his only beneficiary.
He left me a lot of money.
Do you want to take a look? Yeah.
Let's see.
Oh.
Where's where's that at? Oh, it's, uh, sophomore semester in Honduras, building latrines.
That's Ben, uh, Charlie summers, and - Audrey Cruz.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
She was in our class.
Ohh.
I'm here.
What is it? Robert refused to hold up his end of our deal.
Well, I'm afraid I'm not my husband's keeper.
Ah, well, I'm Wyatt's keeper.
So either I get your signature on the consent form, or Wyatt's parole gets pushed up to Saturday, which, if I recall correctly, is just in time for your anniversary party, which I wasn't invited to again this year.
Dwight, please.
Sofia, it is a small operation.
She'll be out of the hospital in a few hours.
You're asking me to betray my husband.
Or kiss Wyatt hello.
You have no idea what it is to love or be loved.
Actually, Sofia, I do.
And I feel sorry for her.
I am giving you a choice.
Mia's bone marrow, or the husband you love so much will learn how you'll always be wet for Wyatt.
Ben Preswick's sister? Why is she talking to her? I don't know.
Did her references check out? They did.
The insurance company she worked for eight years ago called me back immediately.
Everyone did.
Immediately.
Isn't there a person you can talk to? Find out what she's really been doing for the last ten years? The ex-husband, maybe? I'm a step ahead of you.
I've got the person who knows her best flying in on the gulfstream tomorrow.
I'll find out what she's hiding.
Just because you share a genetic code with someone, doesn't mean you should overlook who they are.
Haverstock is a hideous person! Really? How do I know that you're not any worse than him? I heard you talking to that FBI guy.
He called you a murderer.
You know that's not true, Mia.
I don't know anything, mom.
Edward seems to think Edward has deep-seated issues with your father.
And we will get through it.
So you didn't kill Vivian? It breaks my heart that you would even ask.
Well, think about my heart, dad.
Vivian was killed, and now this guy is asking me to save his life.
You can't play God.
He's a human being.
He used to be your best friend.
And he's my father.
Time to go.
- Is it all - Taken care of.
The coroner will say it was an accident, that she lost control of the car due to the A.
L.
S.
, so it's going to be exactly the way she wanted it.
The children will never know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Where's the paperwork for the bone marrow? I want you to know I don't agree with this decision, but I'm willing to respect that you're old enough to make your own choices.
Thank you.
Don't tell your father.
It'll ruin our party.
What are you looking for? A red notebook? Yeah, it has blue trimming.
I just I thought I might have left it here.
Thanks for helping me look.
I haven't seen it.
I'll keep an eye out, though.
Okay, well what? I know that look.
You're either going to kick my ass, or call me a murderer.
No.
I, um I just wanted to ask how well you really know Audrey.
My dad got her her first job.
She's incredibly talented.
I get a bad vibe from her.
'Cause she works for the competition? Maybe.
It's not like she's going to steal the recipe for Lyritrol.
What's this about? Is there really a red notebook, Joanna? Hey, babe.
Good morning, Joanna.
- Morning.
- I have to take this call.
This is my "move on with your life" call.
Hello? Are you staying for breakfast? I'm not sure I got food for all of us.
Uh, actually, I have to get to work.
Hey, uh, I don't like losing, either, but you dropped the ball with Julian, and I picked it up, so play fair.
Julian and I are just friends.
Yeah, look at you.
All tortured, standing in your friend's apartment, sabotaging his new relationship.
And speaking of friends, I thought I would see you at Ben Preswick's funeral, but you weren't there.
Who is Ben Preswick? Hmm.
Enjoy your breakfast.
It's a fairly simple procedure.
Unless something goes terribly wrong, you can look forward to flu-like symptoms, headache, bone pain, maybe a skin rash.
Okay.
Senator, we'll be ready for you in a few minutes.
- You're almost done, Kyle.
- Thank God.
Hey, don't get snotty.
I said "almost.
" I might find it useful to have a mole in my daughter's life.
I don't think you should call her your daughter anymore.
Really? What else do you think? Oh, wait.
Yes, that's right.
I don't care.
Just remember who's calling the shots here.
Forget it.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm out of here.
Stop.
Kyle! Where are you going? Kyle! Ky don't do this.
This guy's not worth saving.
What? Have a seat.
It's okay.
I have a police record.
It's stupid stuff, petty theft, a drug thing.
Haverstock picked me up after our road trip, and he threatened to have me locked up for stealing that bottle of wine, crossing state lines with a minor, breaking and entering.
Unless I helped him get to you.
You lied to me? Yeah, I did, because I didn't want to go to jail.
But you held my hand and talked me into saving his life, even though he's a horrible person I know, I did that.
I messed up.
Kyle, I trusted you.
Why couldn't you just tell me? We could have figured something out.
I'm telling you right now.
Yeah, it's too late now.
No, it's too late.
Everybody in my life has lied to me, and now you're just another one! Mia, come on.
Mia, what did he tell you? Oh, come where are you going? I'm going home.
Maybe you can find another illegitimate child to harvest from, because I'm done.
Mia the son of a Didn't I tell you this morning? Yellow flowers for tonight's party.
That's all that Robert likes.
You might as well take those out to the garage.
What's the matter, darling? I'm not going to do it.
Ohh.
I'm not going to give him my marrow.
Of course not.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Whoa! Go towards the park.
I haven't thought about that in years.
What was that thing Vivian used to ride up and down the halls on? - Big wheel.
- That's it.
Oh, God.
Where's Joanna? Well, she should be here soon, I hope.
So tell me about your life in San Francisco.
You must be so proud of Joanna.
Mom.
Isn't this the best surprise? I flew your mother in for the anniversary dinner.
Hi.
Ohh.
Wow.
How long have you been here? Uh, 15 minutes, less.
How long has it been, Robert? Not long enough.
I could walk down memory lane all night with you.
Oh, but you must be so tired.
It's such a long trip.
Uh, how did you I sent the gulfstream.
I called her first.
I didn't just kidnap her.
We wanted it to be a surprise.
Uh, can I top you off, Beverly? Yes, thank you.
I'm so happy to see you, sweetie.
You left so suddenly.
Mom, is, uh is Sherry a good idea? It's a little treat.
Help you sleep better.
No, Joanna's right.
I'm sure she told you I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Yes.
I'm so sorry, Beverly.
But my symptoms are really quite mild.
Mom.
Admittedly, I left the burners on when I went to the supermarket.
Sometimes you get a little mixed up, and you forget where you are.
Sounds familiar.
If I didn't have a staff, I'd probably be diagnosed with Alzheimer's too.
But I think it was the right thing to move to assisted living, especially with Joanna working such unpredictable hours.
At the law firm? Mom - Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, okay.
Uh, okay, we need to get you upstairs to change.
Yes, and tomorrow, we can get into the good stuff.
Joanna's so quiet about her life.
Yes, I'd love to hear more about her ex-husband.
He really was such a good boy.
Too bad she had to go and break his heart.
Mom, see, you're getting confused again.
He wasn't really a good guy.
We should go upstairs to bed, and we will get into catching up tomorrow morning.
- Good night, ladies.
- Good night.
- Hey, ed.
- Hey.
So, uh, I was wrong.
It wasn't my father.
It was Frank Drexler.
And, uh, and now he's trying to kill me.
Who's Frank Drexler? He's the Kirschner-Sims version of my dad.
Audrey Cruz works for him.
Back up.
Isn't Audrey Cruz the one who knows about the children? Audrey Cruz is an idiot.
He's the boss.
He's got to be the one who is responsible for this.
Okay.
So Frank Drexler tried to kill you.
How? Well, there was this guy.
And he was he was following me, and he reached into his coat.
Oh, man, look.
There's a lot of guys reaching into their coats, Eddie.
You don't believe me.
I just think that you refuse to believe that your father may be responsible for all this.
And you know what? If somebody did try to kill you, it was probably him.
Why would my father want to kill me? I already took down his company.
- Hello.
- Think about it.
If Lyritrol is a bad drug, who benefits? Our competition.
So Frank Drexler killed Vivian.
Why? I don't know.
I don't know.
Listen, ed.
Hey.
I need you to hold it together, all right? Maybe you should go to California.
Just chill out.
Spend some time with the family.
I'm not going to California.
Where are you going? Uh, I gotta I gotta figure this out.
Ed.
Hey! What's going on here? All right.
I need you to tell me everything you told Robert about me.
Uh, nothing.
Why? Okay.
Did you tell him I'm a cop? No.
Okay.
So Robert just called you, and you just got on a plane? No.
I-I miss you.
And it's all going by so fast, life, and I am losing my memory, Jo.
So I couldn't miss a chance to see you.
So tell me, what's going on? I'm undercover.
I'm working with the FBI.
I'm trying to help them find out who killed Vivian.
The police think that Robert had something to do with it.
He doesn't trust me.
That's why he brought you here.
He's going to ask you a bunch of questions.
He's going to try to catch me in a lie.
Oh, I don't like this.
- Look - I don't like it.
Listen, I need you to remember my story.
Okay? I worked for an insurance company, and then for a lawyer.
I was in a bad marriage, he hit me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, in insurance - yes.
- Insurance company.
Lawyer.
Say it.
Lawyer.
Um Jo.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm going to get you out of here as soon as I can.
Mom, I need you to promise me, whatever you do, you cannot say that I'm a cop.
I will do my best.
It's okay.
I have to go out for a few hours.
Okay.
Hey.
What was that for? I just love you.
I'm so glad.
15 minutes.
Hey, babe.
"Let me not, to the marriage of true minds, "admit impediments.
"Love is not love "which alters when it alteration finds, "or bends with the remover to remove.
"Oh, no.
"It is an ever-fixed mark "that looks on tempests and is never shaken.
"It is the star to every wandering bark, "whose worth's unknown, "although his height be taken.
"Love's not time's fool, "Though rosy lips and cheeks "within his bending sickle's compass come.
"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, "but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
"If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
" Now please join us in the dining room for dinner.
Beverly, it's so good to see you again.
We just love having your daughter back in our lives.
Julian, it looks like you haven't changed a bit.
I'll see you at dinner.
Wow.
Your mom still hates me.
She does not.
Okay, how do I get my dad to stop reading poems at parties? You know, I actually thought it was nice.
"Bearing it out to the edge of doom"? Really? Dad and Sofia? Hey.
You coming? I'll be right there.
Do I sense tension? She just made it clear that I had my chance with you, and that I should back off.
So you didn't tell her you bludgeoned me with rejection.
Well, I'll just let her know you could be less interested.
But it isn't true.
What? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe maybe it's it's seeing my mom and realizing that it does go so fast, life, but I know that it's true.
I am interested.
Julian, I'm getting lonely.
Hello? So we got the bakery pay phone dump.
A number kept showing up over and over again, so we triangulated it.
Guess where that phone is right now.
It's at the Bowers' mansion.
You find that phone, we got our case.
I'm calling it right now.
Okay.
Your phone.
I I'll have to take this.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Hello? Who is this? Who is this? Who was it? No one.
It was Audrey's phone.
Go ahead.
Hit me with the "I told you so.
" You could punch me right back with one.
I did the Detective work on the Ben-Audrey connection.
They spent a semester together in Honduras.
But I think Robert followed me.
He flew my mom down from San Francisco.
Joanna, come on.
I can't protect you if you play reckless.
Yeah, I know.
Just sit tight.
Okay.
Was I not clear on the phone earlier? Maybe I wasn't clear.
I treasured our friendship, Robert, and I loved Vivian.
I don't think I deserve a death sentence because of it.
Dwight, we've been playing this game for years.
And now it's over.
The good guy won.
Oh, you're really good at revising history, casting yourself as the hero.
But I know the truth.
And what truth is that? It has occurred to me that the real reason you are so eager to see me in the grave has nothing to do with Vivian.
It has everything to do with Vivian.
But I am the only witness to your first crime.
That was not a crime, and you know it.
That was hell.
I loved Catherine.
You also loved her $2 billion.
Really came at an opportune time, too.
I mean, the stock didn't quite perform as you had expected when it went public 20 years ago, did it? My family is the only thing that has ever mattered to me.
And money.
Lucky for you, they came in the same body bag.
You sicken me.
Your sons needed their father when Catherine died.
So did Vivian.
I was the shoulder she cried on while you buried your grief between Sofia's thighs.
It's time for you to go! You know what, in the meantime, you keep throwing the word "family" around as an excuse for your sins.
But the devil knows otherwise, Robert.
Happy anniversary.
You still love him, don't you? He's with somebody else.
I missed my chance.
You never had one, baby.
I heard you crying over that boy when you were 16.
I'm telling you, he was dangerous then, and he's only gotten worse.
That's not true.
Are you forgetting about all those other girls he was sleeping with? He used you, Jo, and you let him.
Well, things are different now.
It's a fantasy.
You were crazy to come back here.
I think Audrey Cruz may have killed your sister.
What did you find out? Audrey was friends with Ben Preswick.
Now, her phone called the assassin that we believe killed Ben Preswick and the reporter by the name of Remy Coleville.
Now here's the clincher.
The zip drive that the Lyritrol file was on that I found was in that very same assassin's car.
Do you think that Audrey cooked up a file of fake test results so Vivian would blow up Lyritrol? Maybe Vivian was the pawn that was meant to take down your father.
But she didn't finish the job.
No.
You did.
Okay.
I'm in.
"To the edge of doom.
"
My father is ultimately responsible for everything.
Is this connected in any way to your sister's murder? This is your son.
What is happening? He's not my son, not anymore.
I need a bone marrow transplant.
I asked Mia if she would take the test.
She'll need your permission.
How do you get there? Murdering your own child? I mean, what's the math behind that? Get out of my house! Who is Wyatt? Do you love him? I love you, Wyatt.
I was in a car accident.
Now I'm in the hospital.
I lost the money in the accident.
She failed the polygraph, lost $1/2 million all in one day.
Stay close to her, find out what she's hiding.
Come in.
It's cold outside.
You scared me.
Sorry about that.
I heard someone walking around.
Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
I'll send Rosita in to clean it up.
But watch yourself.
You don't want to step on broken glass.
Nice view, Eddie.
Take a look.
Look familiar? The Lyritrol file.
How'd you get this? Not a fun read, especially the part where the children died.
I notice you left that part out of your press conference.
He's my brother.
He knows he's destroyed.
It's nobody else's business.
You know, there's always a secret behind a secret behind a secret with you, man.
All that information is gonna come out anyway when you testify against your father.
- I'm sorry? - You're my number one witness.
I mean, I'll probably need your brother as well.
I'm not your anything, will.
I did what I promised my sister I'd do, and I'm done.
Now it's all you.
I'm going to California to be with my family.
You can do that if you want.
I'll just have to go out there, cuff you in front of your daughters, bring you back.
My daughters are getting used to it.
Don't threaten me.
I'm a lawyer.
Aren't you the least bit curious as to how I got that file? It's a really great story.
That file was on a zip drive in the hit man's car that your father hired to kill Vivian and take it back.
Julian, be gentle with Vivian.
She's younger.
Come on.
Come play with us.
Ahh! What are you thinking about? You, my darling.
I doubt that.
Not with everything that's been going on.
It's sweet of you to lie.
I'll get to the bottom of all this.
Speaking of which, help me understand why you brought.
Joanna back into our house after she lost your money and failed that polygraph.
I need to find out what she's hiding.
- I hate to say I warned you.
- Then don't.
Happy anniversary.
They're beautiful.
Thank you.
Are you sure you still want to have our party? Absolutely sure.
You're sad about the boys.
Julian will come.
Julian? He's getting dressed, but please come in, make yourself at home.
I was just going for bagels.
How's he, uh, holding up? As good as you'd expect, having just found out your drug killed all those people.
24 kids.
Takes a certain constitution to live with a thing like that.
Julian doesn't have it.
How do you know about the kids? I must have read it somewhere.
No, I never published that information anywhere.
Purposely.
Julian must have told me.
Oh.
Well, I'm glad he has someone to talk to.
Hey, ed.
See you later.
I gotta talk to you.
So you two seem to be cozying up.
Is that what it's called when it lasts more than two weeks? You told her about the kids? No.
I can't face that.
Why would I tell her? I don't know.
I gotta I gotta go.
You just got here.
I'll, uh, I'll call you.
Where are we, Tom? Well, we're vetting the cover-up charges, and we are running down this offshore account, Zonocorp, but the paper trail leads right to you, Robert.
This whole file was allegedly taken off our server.
Did security put together a list of who's been in the server room? Your approved I.
T.
team, Edward, and you.
Tom, I don't even know where the damn server room is.
Someone used your pass on the same day that Edward logged in and retrieved the files.
Let's pick this up later.
Send Joanna in on your way out, will you? We need to focus on damage control.
He wants to see you.
Hey, did you want your usual breakfast? Come on in, have a seat.
Close the door, will you? Well, okay.
So let's see, um, human resources has some questions.
We realize we never did an interview.
Oh.
Everything okay? Fine.
Due diligence.
You lost quite a large sum of money.
Yeah, it was stolen in the accident.
You said.
Where were you employed before Bowers? Uh, Walderson & Associates.
It was private attorneys out of San Francisco.
How long were you employed there? Just under three years.
Have them send over a reference.
Right away.
We're not finished.
Where'd you work before that? Um, allied pledge.
It's an insurance firm.
This was while you were married? Yes, partly.
When were you divorced? Last year.
How many years were you married? Uh, I was um What year are we married? They say men are more likely to forget the date of their wedding anniversary than women.
But I always remember mine.
Of course, you would probably like to put that date out of your mind, because your marriage ended so violently.
December 21st.
It was four days before Christmas.
I was married for eight years.
Well, that's it for now.
You can go get me my usual breakfast.
Okay.
Looking for special agent Oh! There he is.
Edward, what's this? We back in love? Listen, Audrey Cruz knows how many kids died.
Who's Audrey Cruz? She's my brother's girlfriend.
She she works for Kirschner-Sims.
It's another drug company.
Listen, listen.
They have their own version of Lyritrol.
We're in a race to get to market.
Okay, so what are you saying? I don't know.
I mean I mean Look, look, I didn't tell Audrey about the kids, and my brother certainly didn't tell her, so, I mean, how did she know? - Look, maybe there's - How did she know? Maybe there's another copy of the file out there, all right? Maybe people are talking because the story broke.
Listen, Edward, just go home, all right? Take a hot shower, and lay off the booze.
All right? This is a murder investigation.
Sorry for the wait.
Why don't you roll up your sleeve there, Mia? It's Oh, I hate needles.
Kyle, be a good boyfriend.
Hold Mia's hand.
I got you.
All right, just a little pinch.
How long does the senator have? I mean, if he doesn't get his marrow? Six months, give or take.
Oh.
Well, let's hope I'm a match, then.
- Joanna.
- Oh, you scared me.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
I-I've, uh, been on edge ever since the accident.
How are you? Going to take some time off from Bowers.
Told the team good-bye, grabbed my stapler.
Figure out how to move forward.
Forward's good.
You never know what might pop up.
Audrey.
How's that going for you? I like her, I think.
She's easy.
Not easy like that.
I know what you meant.
It's just, um is it really real? Maybe.
See you later.
You guys are so hot for each other.
Can you just do it already? Hey, wait up.
I need to talk to you.
Will's been avoiding me.
I cannot be seen with you.
Do you not understand that? II really want to help with the investigation.
You guys should be using me.
I know things.
For instance, senator Haverstock has cancer.
Did you know that? No, I didn't know that.
Well, now you do.
See? I think Robert Bowers had my friend, Remy, killed.
I want to avenge his death.
Great, well, the FBI and the police are working on it, so if they need your help, I'll tell them to call you.
Here's something else, just for you.
Julian's new girlfriend? At Cornell, they used to call her "ho-lita," 'cause she slept with all of her professors when she was, like, 18.
Audrey used to go to Cornell? Not the interesting part of the story, but yes.
Do you want me to find out if she has incurable gonorrhea? Hey, you're jeopardizing my safety, and your own.
So stop following me.
Okay.
Gabe, what college did Ben Preswick go to? I need Walderson to send a reference over.
Robert's all over me.
Already done.
Do you feel safe going back in there? I can put a wire on you.
No, no, no.
I'm fine, it's fine.
But wait, Julian's new girlfriend and Ben Preswick went to school together.
Yeah, Audrey Cruz.
How did you know about her? 'Cause Edward won't shut up about her, either.
But what is he saying? She knew about the deaths of some children from the Lyritrol trial, and he withheld it from the press, so now he's all paranoid.
See, does that smell right to you? We're building a case against Robert Bowers, all right? Everybody's on board, so stop getting distracted.
So you're telling me that you think it's just a coincidence that both of them went to Cornell? Thousands of people go to Cornell, Joanna.
I'm dumping the pay phone from the Russian bakery.
If I find any numbers that lead back to Robert Bowers, we're done here.
We have, like, three seconds on this egg timer before Robert either fires me or tries to kill me, and you're telling me I'm just supposed to go pick up his dry cleaning and bring him breakfast? Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you to do.
I don't think we should be spending tax dollars digging up dirt on your boyfriend's new girlfriend.
Is that what you think this is about? You tell me what this is about.
I noticed he gave you a ride home from the hospital.
Yeah, well, somebody had to.
Look, this is my case, okay? And you are my asset.
So I am telling you, do not make a move.
Just take the man his breakfast, and try to forget about his son.
Screw you, Will.
- Hello? - Good news.
Mia is a match.
I'll have the consent form sent over.
That's wonderful.
Now I'm delighted to tell you to go die.
- Excuse me? - You made a bad deal.
You traded me a golf club in exchange for Mia's bone marrow.
Now I have both.
Frankly, I was surprised by your naivete.
I made a choice, Bobby, to take you at your word.
That was dumb.
If Mia could save your life by sneezing on you, I wouldn't allow it.
Good luck with your death.
Here you go, and, uh, is there anything else I can do for you? - That'll be all.
- Okay.
Actually, uh, no.
You can book me a massage for Sunday morning.
Sure.
Hi, I'd like to book a massage for Robert Bowers.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, Sunday.
9:00.
Great, thank you.
Robert, I am so sorry.
I forgot that I have a dentist appointment.
Um, it's a root canal, so I'm going to be out all afternoon.
Go ahead.
Teeth are important.
Thank you.
We don't have much time if we're going to push up Xyrix's rollout date.
And I want a big splash.
Let the investors revel in the victory.
Rent the seaport and get a band.
Who's your plus one going to be? And not Julian Bowers.
I really like him, Frank.
He's damaged goods.
I damaged him.
I'll fix him.
Edward, what a surprise.
Shut up.
I don't like you.
What's your opening offer going to be? I'm sorry? When you make your bid for Bowers.
What? Look, I don't know what you're doing, but I promise you, I'm going to find out.
If Edward Bowers starts looking under rocks, will he find something that will affect the merger? Because that guy's smart.
You sold me on this idea, Audrey, and so far, fantastic, but if you're about to spring a leak, you fix it.
Am I going to regret you? I don't fail.
You know that.
I was so happy to get your call.
Ben would be thrilled to know that Cornell wants to pay tribute to him.
He never felt like he was Ivy league material.
Your brother was a good man.
He never let on how well he was doing.
Our parents died a few years ago, and I was his only beneficiary.
He left me a lot of money.
Do you want to take a look? Yeah.
Let's see.
Oh.
Where's where's that at? Oh, it's, uh, sophomore semester in Honduras, building latrines.
That's Ben, uh, Charlie summers, and - Audrey Cruz.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
She was in our class.
Ohh.
I'm here.
What is it? Robert refused to hold up his end of our deal.
Well, I'm afraid I'm not my husband's keeper.
Ah, well, I'm Wyatt's keeper.
So either I get your signature on the consent form, or Wyatt's parole gets pushed up to Saturday, which, if I recall correctly, is just in time for your anniversary party, which I wasn't invited to again this year.
Dwight, please.
Sofia, it is a small operation.
She'll be out of the hospital in a few hours.
You're asking me to betray my husband.
Or kiss Wyatt hello.
You have no idea what it is to love or be loved.
Actually, Sofia, I do.
And I feel sorry for her.
I am giving you a choice.
Mia's bone marrow, or the husband you love so much will learn how you'll always be wet for Wyatt.
Ben Preswick's sister? Why is she talking to her? I don't know.
Did her references check out? They did.
The insurance company she worked for eight years ago called me back immediately.
Everyone did.
Immediately.
Isn't there a person you can talk to? Find out what she's really been doing for the last ten years? The ex-husband, maybe? I'm a step ahead of you.
I've got the person who knows her best flying in on the gulfstream tomorrow.
I'll find out what she's hiding.
Just because you share a genetic code with someone, doesn't mean you should overlook who they are.
Haverstock is a hideous person! Really? How do I know that you're not any worse than him? I heard you talking to that FBI guy.
He called you a murderer.
You know that's not true, Mia.
I don't know anything, mom.
Edward seems to think Edward has deep-seated issues with your father.
And we will get through it.
So you didn't kill Vivian? It breaks my heart that you would even ask.
Well, think about my heart, dad.
Vivian was killed, and now this guy is asking me to save his life.
You can't play God.
He's a human being.
He used to be your best friend.
And he's my father.
Time to go.
- Is it all - Taken care of.
The coroner will say it was an accident, that she lost control of the car due to the A.
L.
S.
, so it's going to be exactly the way she wanted it.
The children will never know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Where's the paperwork for the bone marrow? I want you to know I don't agree with this decision, but I'm willing to respect that you're old enough to make your own choices.
Thank you.
Don't tell your father.
It'll ruin our party.
What are you looking for? A red notebook? Yeah, it has blue trimming.
I just I thought I might have left it here.
Thanks for helping me look.
I haven't seen it.
I'll keep an eye out, though.
Okay, well what? I know that look.
You're either going to kick my ass, or call me a murderer.
No.
I, um I just wanted to ask how well you really know Audrey.
My dad got her her first job.
She's incredibly talented.
I get a bad vibe from her.
'Cause she works for the competition? Maybe.
It's not like she's going to steal the recipe for Lyritrol.
What's this about? Is there really a red notebook, Joanna? Hey, babe.
Good morning, Joanna.
- Morning.
- I have to take this call.
This is my "move on with your life" call.
Hello? Are you staying for breakfast? I'm not sure I got food for all of us.
Uh, actually, I have to get to work.
Hey, uh, I don't like losing, either, but you dropped the ball with Julian, and I picked it up, so play fair.
Julian and I are just friends.
Yeah, look at you.
All tortured, standing in your friend's apartment, sabotaging his new relationship.
And speaking of friends, I thought I would see you at Ben Preswick's funeral, but you weren't there.
Who is Ben Preswick? Hmm.
Enjoy your breakfast.
It's a fairly simple procedure.
Unless something goes terribly wrong, you can look forward to flu-like symptoms, headache, bone pain, maybe a skin rash.
Okay.
Senator, we'll be ready for you in a few minutes.
- You're almost done, Kyle.
- Thank God.
Hey, don't get snotty.
I said "almost.
" I might find it useful to have a mole in my daughter's life.
I don't think you should call her your daughter anymore.
Really? What else do you think? Oh, wait.
Yes, that's right.
I don't care.
Just remember who's calling the shots here.
Forget it.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm out of here.
Stop.
Kyle! Where are you going? Kyle! Ky don't do this.
This guy's not worth saving.
What? Have a seat.
It's okay.
I have a police record.
It's stupid stuff, petty theft, a drug thing.
Haverstock picked me up after our road trip, and he threatened to have me locked up for stealing that bottle of wine, crossing state lines with a minor, breaking and entering.
Unless I helped him get to you.
You lied to me? Yeah, I did, because I didn't want to go to jail.
But you held my hand and talked me into saving his life, even though he's a horrible person I know, I did that.
I messed up.
Kyle, I trusted you.
Why couldn't you just tell me? We could have figured something out.
I'm telling you right now.
Yeah, it's too late now.
No, it's too late.
Everybody in my life has lied to me, and now you're just another one! Mia, come on.
Mia, what did he tell you? Oh, come where are you going? I'm going home.
Maybe you can find another illegitimate child to harvest from, because I'm done.
Mia the son of a Didn't I tell you this morning? Yellow flowers for tonight's party.
That's all that Robert likes.
You might as well take those out to the garage.
What's the matter, darling? I'm not going to do it.
Ohh.
I'm not going to give him my marrow.
Of course not.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Whoa! Go towards the park.
I haven't thought about that in years.
What was that thing Vivian used to ride up and down the halls on? - Big wheel.
- That's it.
Oh, God.
Where's Joanna? Well, she should be here soon, I hope.
So tell me about your life in San Francisco.
You must be so proud of Joanna.
Mom.
Isn't this the best surprise? I flew your mother in for the anniversary dinner.
Hi.
Ohh.
Wow.
How long have you been here? Uh, 15 minutes, less.
How long has it been, Robert? Not long enough.
I could walk down memory lane all night with you.
Oh, but you must be so tired.
It's such a long trip.
Uh, how did you I sent the gulfstream.
I called her first.
I didn't just kidnap her.
We wanted it to be a surprise.
Uh, can I top you off, Beverly? Yes, thank you.
I'm so happy to see you, sweetie.
You left so suddenly.
Mom, is, uh is Sherry a good idea? It's a little treat.
Help you sleep better.
No, Joanna's right.
I'm sure she told you I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Yes.
I'm so sorry, Beverly.
But my symptoms are really quite mild.
Mom.
Admittedly, I left the burners on when I went to the supermarket.
Sometimes you get a little mixed up, and you forget where you are.
Sounds familiar.
If I didn't have a staff, I'd probably be diagnosed with Alzheimer's too.
But I think it was the right thing to move to assisted living, especially with Joanna working such unpredictable hours.
At the law firm? Mom - Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, okay.
Uh, okay, we need to get you upstairs to change.
Yes, and tomorrow, we can get into the good stuff.
Joanna's so quiet about her life.
Yes, I'd love to hear more about her ex-husband.
He really was such a good boy.
Too bad she had to go and break his heart.
Mom, see, you're getting confused again.
He wasn't really a good guy.
We should go upstairs to bed, and we will get into catching up tomorrow morning.
- Good night, ladies.
- Good night.
- Hey, ed.
- Hey.
So, uh, I was wrong.
It wasn't my father.
It was Frank Drexler.
And, uh, and now he's trying to kill me.
Who's Frank Drexler? He's the Kirschner-Sims version of my dad.
Audrey Cruz works for him.
Back up.
Isn't Audrey Cruz the one who knows about the children? Audrey Cruz is an idiot.
He's the boss.
He's got to be the one who is responsible for this.
Okay.
So Frank Drexler tried to kill you.
How? Well, there was this guy.
And he was he was following me, and he reached into his coat.
Oh, man, look.
There's a lot of guys reaching into their coats, Eddie.
You don't believe me.
I just think that you refuse to believe that your father may be responsible for all this.
And you know what? If somebody did try to kill you, it was probably him.
Why would my father want to kill me? I already took down his company.
- Hello.
- Think about it.
If Lyritrol is a bad drug, who benefits? Our competition.
So Frank Drexler killed Vivian.
Why? I don't know.
I don't know.
Listen, ed.
Hey.
I need you to hold it together, all right? Maybe you should go to California.
Just chill out.
Spend some time with the family.
I'm not going to California.
Where are you going? Uh, I gotta I gotta figure this out.
Ed.
Hey! What's going on here? All right.
I need you to tell me everything you told Robert about me.
Uh, nothing.
Why? Okay.
Did you tell him I'm a cop? No.
Okay.
So Robert just called you, and you just got on a plane? No.
I-I miss you.
And it's all going by so fast, life, and I am losing my memory, Jo.
So I couldn't miss a chance to see you.
So tell me, what's going on? I'm undercover.
I'm working with the FBI.
I'm trying to help them find out who killed Vivian.
The police think that Robert had something to do with it.
He doesn't trust me.
That's why he brought you here.
He's going to ask you a bunch of questions.
He's going to try to catch me in a lie.
Oh, I don't like this.
- Look - I don't like it.
Listen, I need you to remember my story.
Okay? I worked for an insurance company, and then for a lawyer.
I was in a bad marriage, he hit me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, in insurance - yes.
- Insurance company.
Lawyer.
Say it.
Lawyer.
Um Jo.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm going to get you out of here as soon as I can.
Mom, I need you to promise me, whatever you do, you cannot say that I'm a cop.
I will do my best.
It's okay.
I have to go out for a few hours.
Okay.
Hey.
What was that for? I just love you.
I'm so glad.
15 minutes.
Hey, babe.
"Let me not, to the marriage of true minds, "admit impediments.
"Love is not love "which alters when it alteration finds, "or bends with the remover to remove.
"Oh, no.
"It is an ever-fixed mark "that looks on tempests and is never shaken.
"It is the star to every wandering bark, "whose worth's unknown, "although his height be taken.
"Love's not time's fool, "Though rosy lips and cheeks "within his bending sickle's compass come.
"Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, "but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
"If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
" Now please join us in the dining room for dinner.
Beverly, it's so good to see you again.
We just love having your daughter back in our lives.
Julian, it looks like you haven't changed a bit.
I'll see you at dinner.
Wow.
Your mom still hates me.
She does not.
Okay, how do I get my dad to stop reading poems at parties? You know, I actually thought it was nice.
"Bearing it out to the edge of doom"? Really? Dad and Sofia? Hey.
You coming? I'll be right there.
Do I sense tension? She just made it clear that I had my chance with you, and that I should back off.
So you didn't tell her you bludgeoned me with rejection.
Well, I'll just let her know you could be less interested.
But it isn't true.
What? I don't know.
I don't know, maybe maybe it's it's seeing my mom and realizing that it does go so fast, life, but I know that it's true.
I am interested.
Julian, I'm getting lonely.
Hello? So we got the bakery pay phone dump.
A number kept showing up over and over again, so we triangulated it.
Guess where that phone is right now.
It's at the Bowers' mansion.
You find that phone, we got our case.
I'm calling it right now.
Okay.
Your phone.
I I'll have to take this.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Hello? Who is this? Who is this? Who was it? No one.
It was Audrey's phone.
Go ahead.
Hit me with the "I told you so.
" You could punch me right back with one.
I did the Detective work on the Ben-Audrey connection.
They spent a semester together in Honduras.
But I think Robert followed me.
He flew my mom down from San Francisco.
Joanna, come on.
I can't protect you if you play reckless.
Yeah, I know.
Just sit tight.
Okay.
Was I not clear on the phone earlier? Maybe I wasn't clear.
I treasured our friendship, Robert, and I loved Vivian.
I don't think I deserve a death sentence because of it.
Dwight, we've been playing this game for years.
And now it's over.
The good guy won.
Oh, you're really good at revising history, casting yourself as the hero.
But I know the truth.
And what truth is that? It has occurred to me that the real reason you are so eager to see me in the grave has nothing to do with Vivian.
It has everything to do with Vivian.
But I am the only witness to your first crime.
That was not a crime, and you know it.
That was hell.
I loved Catherine.
You also loved her $2 billion.
Really came at an opportune time, too.
I mean, the stock didn't quite perform as you had expected when it went public 20 years ago, did it? My family is the only thing that has ever mattered to me.
And money.
Lucky for you, they came in the same body bag.
You sicken me.
Your sons needed their father when Catherine died.
So did Vivian.
I was the shoulder she cried on while you buried your grief between Sofia's thighs.
It's time for you to go! You know what, in the meantime, you keep throwing the word "family" around as an excuse for your sins.
But the devil knows otherwise, Robert.
Happy anniversary.
You still love him, don't you? He's with somebody else.
I missed my chance.
You never had one, baby.
I heard you crying over that boy when you were 16.
I'm telling you, he was dangerous then, and he's only gotten worse.
That's not true.
Are you forgetting about all those other girls he was sleeping with? He used you, Jo, and you let him.
Well, things are different now.
It's a fantasy.
You were crazy to come back here.
I think Audrey Cruz may have killed your sister.
What did you find out? Audrey was friends with Ben Preswick.
Now, her phone called the assassin that we believe killed Ben Preswick and the reporter by the name of Remy Coleville.
Now here's the clincher.
The zip drive that the Lyritrol file was on that I found was in that very same assassin's car.
Do you think that Audrey cooked up a file of fake test results so Vivian would blow up Lyritrol? Maybe Vivian was the pawn that was meant to take down your father.
But she didn't finish the job.
No.
You did.
Okay.
I'm in.
"To the edge of doom.
"
