Eli Stone s02e10 Episode Script

- How's it going? - I've got a little bit of a headache.
Shouldn't guys with aneurysms try to avoid headaches? - Only guys with brain aneurysms.
- Yeah, you have a brain aneurysm.
That's a good point.
Hi.
Morning.
Morning.
I knew I should have taken the stairs.
Eli? Eli.
Oh, thank God.
I thought I was having a vision.
So thank God you're only lying in the hospital recovering - from uncontrollable bleeding? - It was '70s music.
Last thing I remember, I was begging you not to hate me.
While bleeding from your nose.
It's a nice trump card.
You're that important to me.
You both are.
I've been a jerk.
And its had some consequences.
Your MRI revealed another aneurysm, Eli.
A second aneurysm.
Right at the base of your brain.
- Did I make this happen? - No, it's somewhat common, actually.
People with aneurysms have a 20 percent chance No, I was asking Frank.
All that Nurhachi, all those visits to Dr.
Lee would cause this? Nerve-hockey? What, who Who is Dr.
Lee? - She's an acupuncturist.
- What she does is not acupuncture.
But we're done with all that, right Eli? OK, all right, listen to this one.
"Spoil yourself at our oasis in the desert, because you deserve it.
" I do deserve it.
Two night stay includes a mud bath, a warm oil Watsu massage, - and a craniosacral spa treatment.
- Sounds invasive.
- They're trained in Switzerland, Matt.
- How much? Oh! For the last six weeks it's been "All baby all the time" unless it's been "All work all the time.
" You know what? So what if the little guy can't afford college? We'll homeschool.
Do it.
I feel more relaxed already.
Huh.
The Russell v.
Bay West Media settlement fell apart.
This is huge.
I should get to the office.
Whatever Russell v.
Bay West Media is, it better not interfere with our vacation.
Swiss massages, Matt! Russell v.
Bay West Media.
We are delaying the settlement meeting.
- Eli, thank you for joining us.
- Feeling a little under the weather.
Nothing life-threatening brain surgery won't cure.
I'm kidding.
Why are we stalling on the settlement? I spent a month convincing Sam he wasn't going to prove wrongful - termination without a whistle-blower.
- Found that whistle-blower.
Sorry I'm late.
What'd I miss? What's the point of an emergency staff meeting if the staff - doesn't treat it like an emergency? - Said I was sorry.
May have gotten a break on the Sam Russell case.
Sam Russell? As in Russell v.
Bay West Media? You may have noticed Russell lost his gig anchoring the news, - that's what the suit is about.
- This is going to trial this week? That depends on what this witness has to say.
Her name's Jesse Bates.
Russell's former news producer.
She's been M.
I.
A.
for months.
Been banking on the idea Russell wouldn't go to trial without her.
She's resurfaced, so have Russell's courtroom ambitions.
Bay West wants you to find out what she knows.
We'll sit her down this afternoon.
Little problem.
She resurfaced when her name popped up in a public records search.
- She's inside of a jail cell.
- What'd she do? Ask her when you see her tomorrow.
You leave for Sonoma in the morning.
Sonoma? Sorry, no.
I've got a getaway planned starting tomorrow.
- Cancel it.
- Even if I didn't, - not a big fan of Sonoma.
- Don't want to go to Sonoma? Fine.
We'll wait for Russell's attorneys to go there, speak with her, we'll find out from them.
- It's a race to Sonoma! - Worst reality show ever.
I was wondering if you got my messages.
And your emails.
I'm not going to the zoo benefit with you.
- Didn't think I would, did you? - We're a new firm.
It's important that we establish a presence at events like this one.
And since Ellen and I Well, I need a date, and I thought we could talk.
Dad, I'm not ready to talk.
I told you I need time.
I was just sending you an email.
But, since you're here, I want in on the Russell case.
Newfound appreciation for employment law? A newfound appreciation for Sonoma Valley.
Matt and I were planning a getaway, and I'm getting away.
I'm sure Eli could use the help.
- What help could Eli use? - I'm going to Sonoma with you.
- Great! - I'll pick you up at 7:30 am sharp.
Sharp means sharp.
You're not standing out front, I'll leave without you.
Road trip.
We're all going together.
Yay.
You don't get carsick, do you? Taylor? We're going to the same place, looking for the same person.
It makes sense.
If you ignore the fact we're trying to beat them.
We're saving gas.
Think about the world.
You're opposing counsel.
You understand there is an advantage in getting to the witness first.
If this witness has anything to say, you have to disclose it.
If you don't get in this car in the next 30 seconds, - I'll leave you in the dust.
- She means it.
Do not underestimate the fury of a woman denied a getaway with me.
- Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
- And the band's back together.
- Shotgun! - Wish I had one.
- Shotgun denied.
In the back.
- What? I brought gorp.
- In the back! - Crazy.
- That's what I said.
I was overruled.
- Clock's ticking.
You coming or not? You know, I bet we could find a very romantic B and B outside Sonoma.
Like Napa, Santa Rosa, Mexico.
All right, what is the deal with you and Sonoma? Nothing.
Nothing.
It's going to be great.
Very relaxing.
We're gonna need some ground rules.
Traveling is one thing, once we hit Sonoma, each team is on their own.
- No collaborating with the enemy.
- Fine.
As long as a couples massage doesn't count as collaboration.
I never thought I'd say this, would you pass the gorp? - Not until you apologize.
- Excuse me? You accused me of sabotaging your relationships.
First of all, it was just one woman.
I didn't realize that doing so would deprive me of gorp.
Well You're right.
I apologize.
Turns out I was able to sabotage everything all by myself.
Eat your gorp.
Just like brother.
Both have never-make-appointment gene.
See you next Tuesday.
What was going on with Eli? You're the one with the real medical degree.
- You don't know, we're in trouble.
- You know what I'm talking about.
What'd Eli mean? You saw this coming? - It's not important.
- It seemed important to Eli.
Even if it wasn't, my brother seeing another doctor is going to get my attention.
Dr.
Lee? Dr.
Lee used to be a decent acupuncturist.
It's a bone of contention between us.
But it's between us.
- All right.
I can respect that.
- Thank you.
I just I wonder how Eli's going to react when he finds out that you kept a copy of my dad's journal and you You didn't tell him.
If you tell Eli about the book, you'll be hurting him more than me.
And I don't think you'd do that.
You're not fooling anybody with that phony accent.
And you are staying in our Merlot suite.
All the rooms are named after wines.
I'll need a deposit from Mr.
Dunleavy.
- Dunleavy? - Stanislaus Dunleavy? That's my travel name.
Bono does the same thing.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Why are you holding the car keys? - Taylor asked me to.
She didn't.
You took them.
You're going to ditch us, aren't you? Paranoid.
Can you tell me the way to the sheriff's station? In the town plaza.
Right down First Street, can't miss it.
Thank you.
- Where are you going? - Sheriff's station, where our witness is.
It would be a violation of ethics for me to drive opposing counsel in my car.
- It's not your car.
- For the time being, they're my keys.
So She's going to need the number of a taxi service.
Guess I wasn't so paranoid after all! You seem tense lately.
Maybe water yoga is exactly what you need.
I say we go talk to this witness and get the hell out of Hey, look, antiques! Did you see this? Matt? Matt Dowd? - Hey! - It is you.
What's it been? Ten years? - Leigh Rappaport, Taylor Wethersby.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Leigh and I went to law school together.
Went to law school together? Is that how we're framing it? - Well, we did.
- We dated.
- What are you doing in Sonoma? - Quick business trip.
In and out.
I have to get back to work.
It's been nice seeing you again.
- All right, Leigh! - OK.
She's the reason you've been so afraid to set foot in Sonoma? Yeah, I know.
It's crazy, right? She seemed perfectly happy with everything.
With me.
Why wouldn't she be? You know, when people break up, even though nobody did anything wrong, every once in a while there's hard feelings.
I feel so relieved.
I love Sonoma! Jesse Bates? Are you her lawyer? - Is she here? - I asked you first.
- Don't let him in.
He stole a car! - Well, that would be a different form.
- Maggie Dekker.
Attorney.
- It's not her car.
So whose car did you steal? - I didn't - We had an agreement.
- No, we didn't.
- It was an implied covenant.
- Here they are.
You owe me five bucks.
- Did he, or did he not, steal a car? You mean my car? No, I gave him the car.
Officer, I'm an attorney.
- So am I.
- Me too.
You know what? I just lost interest.
Someone want to put Jesse Bates in the visitor's room before I shoot a gaggle of lawyers? Come in now.
Just get me when you're done.
I hope no one in the Bay Area needs a lawyer this afternoon.
You are the Jesse Bates who was Sam Russell's news producer - when KNIB fired him? - No, but she was when Sam Russell quit.
Without a subpoena, you're under no obligation to talk Nice try.
Since we represent Bay West Media, I'd be happy to extend our services to you as a former employee.
What makes you think I need an attorney? Other than the handcuffs and jail? What are you doing in here? I left television, I came here, started over.
I opened an art gallery.
Two weeks ago, a local couple asked me to sell a painting for them, a Moreau.
- And that's illegal now? - It is when it was stolen by Nazis.
Even if it was, why'd that land you in jail? It didn't.
It was my refusal to return the painting - to the sellers.
- Where's the painting now? Turns out that the police are having a little difficulty locating it.
Fascinating, but it's off the topic.
Actually, it's sitting right on the topic.
Any attorneys good enough to represent the likes of Sam Russell and Bay West Media have to be better than whatever public defender a town like Sonoma has to offer.
- We're not criminal attorneys - It would be a conflict of I think you'll find that I've got a case of amnesia as long as I'm incarcerated.
You wanna find out what I know, get me out of jail.
Think you can get along long enough to do that? Simple.
We get it kicked on a Fourth Amendment violation.
She's being detained unlawfully.
Out by noon.
She's held on a contempt charge.
She didn't comply with a judge's order.
A judge she hasn't seen in 48 hours.
Fourth Amendment.
- You're saying you're as wrong as Matt? - Want to repeat that? - Try to be more condescending.
- Together again.
Just like old times.
Who is in charge here anyway? - I am.
- Son of a bitch! The spa! They're closed until the end of the week.
Sorry, honey.
What'd I miss? Eli trying to come up with different ways to keep our client in prison.
I thought of a new one.
You try the case yourself.
As terrifying as that prospect is, we do need a first chair.
I seem to have the firmest grip on the issues Please.
Why don't we compare recent track records? - Wins, losses.
- The client Rock-paper-scissors.
The three of you, rock-paper-scissors for lead counsel.
On three.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Admit it, Eli.
I am undefeated in rock-paper-scissors.
Think with a name like Stone, you'd play rock more often.
What's the deal, Jesse, you find a coupon? - Four lawyers for the price of one? - All rise.
- Leigh? - Judge Rappaport.
Be seated.
I want you to be aware of my prior relationship with counsel.
We went to law school together.
- Not a problem.
- You schtupped the judge? - She wasn't a judge then.
- Case S.
C.
R.
392.
Jesse Bates has been charged with theft by conversion.
She's held in civil contempt for refusing to turn over property.
- I'd like to hear motions.
- We move to dismiss.
Complaint is defective as it does not allege a taking.
The painting was given to Ms.
Bates, therefore constitutes Denied.
Conversion doesn't require a taking.
It's Crim.
Law 101.
If I remember correctly, the reason you passed that class is because you copied my outline.
That's stretching the truth a bit.
Move to dismiss on grounds that complainants are not the owners of the painting.
Denied.
Four of you and that's the best you come up with? Is that all you have? - Don't worry.
We've got a lot more.
- That's it, Your Honor.
In that case, let's move forward to a hearing to determine true ownership.
Miss Bates will remain in custody.
I trust everyone will be ready to call witnesses this afternoon.
What did you do to that woman? Can I ask a question? I've heard about different types of acupuncturists.
Some who do traditional acupuncture And then there are some who do a kind of a darker acupuncture.
Nurhachi? Nurhachi? Your name came up.
And, Dr.
Chen All right, Nate.
Session's over.
What? I didn't tell you my name.
Let's just say you don't have the aura for deception, and your brother talks about you.
No plus one.
Jordan Wethersby, alone.
Plus none.
Yes, I know I RSVP'd for two, but Hold on.
Lucille, could you please pick up? Everything all right? Apparently it now requires an act of Congress to attend a charity event by oneself.
But you came to see me.
How can I help you? Well, I've been spending the last couple of days making amends.
It's part of my program.
I make a list of all the people I've harmed, and I apologize to them.
- Well, that must be a pretty long list.
- Watch it.
Let me make this easy.
You have done nothing to make amends for.
- I treated you terribly.
- You did not.
Behind your back.
When you almost lost Don Kettner's business.
For two months, he stopped returning my calls.
No, he didn't.
I didn't put him through.
It was like when you'd show up at Positano, and there was never a table for you.
You never made the reservation.
I couldn't stand you knowing my secret, I wanted to punish you.
Can you forgive me? That depends.
What are you doing tonight? It's a Phillipe Moreau.
That painting's been in my family over 60 years.
It wasn't an easy decision, but we were going to sell it to pay for the twins' college tuition.
We brought it to Ms.
Bates to have it appraised - Which would be when she stole it? - Objection.
Counsel is testifying.
Nah, I didn't think so.
Overruled.
Really? I understand your grandfather bought this painting in Paris? Yes.
He was stationed in France during World War II.
He bought it as an engagement gift for my grandmother.
- Do you know the date of purchase? - Grandma was a packrat.
I have the receipt.
It's from the Gallery Rue St.
Germain.
December, 1944.
Are you aware that the Art Loss Register has catalogued at least 4,000 pieces of art stolen from Jewish owners during the Holocaust? And that any painting purchased in Europe from 1933 to 1945 is suspect? - Objection.
- Sustained.
- You haven't heard his grounds.
- Sustained.
Are you enjoying Sonoma, Matt? Um Are you aware that the Gallery Rue St.
Germain was a known clearinghouse for artwork stolen from Jewish families? Objection.
Is this a courtroom or a history class? - That's a folksy made-up objection.
- Move on, Matt.
I know from experience you know how to do that.
Your Honor, is it possible you're allowing this to get personal? Oh, God.
Maybe considering our history, you might want to Our history? You mean, like how I waited for you for six hours - at an airport after graduation? - What? We had a romantic Jamaican vacation planned.
Thought I was getting a ring.
Instead, he never showed up.
Never called.
Three months later, he emailed.
He sent an email saying, "Sorry, I joined the FBI.
" How are things working out at the Bureau anyway? That I can explain.
I don't want to hear another word out of you.
- But I'm first chair.
- Not anymore.
I'm holding you in contempt.
I've been doing that for the last ten years.
I'm just making it legal.
Bailiff, take him.
- OK.
- OK.
Who saw that coming? Rock-paper-scissors, go! Paper covers rock.
I believe that would make me the first chair.
- I suck at this game.
- This is unbelievable.
I swear she put him in jail to ruin my getaway.
- She doesn't even know you.
- Clearly, she knows Matt.
- Can we get back to business? - Absolutely.
Back to business.
After I get snacks.
You OK? Is this case giving you a headache? No, I brought it with me from San Francisco.
Anyway, the owner's testimony hurt us.
Alleged owner.
The painting's not really his.
We need the original owners so we can establish initial possession.
And their testimony would be very compelling since they're dead.
- Any relatives? - A granddaughter.
Katie Bochner.
But according to her neighbors, she's vacationing in Fiji.
- Stall until she gets back by - Putting Jesse on the stand? Do you have any idea how we can distinguish Orkin v.
Taylor? Taylor's going to sue that spa now? Orkin v.
Taylor.
Come on, the controlling precedent in California.
Even if we prove the painting was stolen by Nazis, Orkin says the new owners don't have to return it.
Because the statute of limitations bars recovery.
OK, new strategy.
Hope the DA Barney Fife is not as good a lawyer as you are.
In my old life, I worked in TV journalism.
I once produced a piece about stolen Nazi art, and I pretty much memorized the whole Art Loss Registry.
So when I sat down to appraise this painting, I realized I was looking at Moreau's Lady with Locket, stolen from the Bochners, a Jewish family, who had fled Nazi Germany in 1933.
Objection.
I don't see any Bochners in this room.
- Overruled.
- The only surviving family member is a granddaughter.
I have yet to reach her.
Danvers' family paid for this painting.
They have the receipt.
They didn't know they were buying stolen property.
- It's your witness.
- Just so I'm clear Eric Danvers didn't steal this painting.
His family didn't steal this painting.
Even the dealer they bought it from didn't steal this painting.
Is there a question? Or point? My question and my point is how many years back do we go to rectify past injustices? Should we give Manhattan back to the Indians? - Your Honor! - Can you even prove this is the Bochners' missing painting? - It's described in the Registry.
- Described? Is there a photo? - No, but - You said this painting's called Lady with Locket? Know how many ladies Moreau painted? - Your Honor! - Yes, Lawyer Number Four.
With all due respect, what kind of court are you running? - Taylor.
- You cross-examining witnesses, you threw our co-counsel in jail because he broke up with you.
Unless you want to join him, dial it back, counsel.
Move that you recuse yourself.
You're the one who hasn't made peace with the past.
Oh, my God.
Hi, honey, how was work? Patti.
You look lovely.
- Don't look so surprised.
- This isn't surprise.
Happy to see a friendly face looking at me with something other than pity.
I almost called and said I couldn't make it.
I almost left the same message.
I thought about how I stayed in the house six months after Phil and I split up, just feeling sorry for myself, until my daughter Angela kicked my ass out the door.
Told me, "Don't come home until you have some fun.
" It's a zoo benefit.
I'm not sure fun is on the evening agenda.
What's important is you're out.
Besides, you brought the fun with you.
- Jordan.
- Ellen.
I thought you said you wouldn't be attending.
I said I wouldn't be attending with you.
- That's a lovely dress, Patti.
- Thank you, Ellen.
You look particularly well-preserved tonight.
- Sweetie, we're at table ten.
- Thank you.
- Jordan.
- Jeff.
Give me a minute.
Ellen? - You could've given him a heads-up.
- I know I could have.
We have a long list of nicknames in the office for you.
So sorry to see you earning every one of them.
- Are you all right? - I know I promised you dinner.
But would you be terribly crushed if we found it elsewhere? Of course not.
Thank you.
Don't reject this straight off, but what if Taylor was right when she asked the judge to recuse herself? We could file to have her removed.
Then we're stuck here at least another week.
Well, worse places to be stuck.
- More wine? - I think you finished it all.
Not by myself, I didn't.
Speaking of you, you were really good today.
I forgot what it's like to be on your side of the aisle.
Let me remind you.
We usually ended up fighting.
And let me remind you that you were always the one who started it.
You kidding? First time I met you, you were interviewing for a job at the firm and you accused me of being a billable hours drone who sold his principles for seven figures and a car.
- I did, and you were.
- Yeah.
But that wasn't the first time you met me.
- Excuse me? - Oh, God.
I didn't mean to We We met at law school.
How much did you drink? We didn't go to law school together.
Not even at the same time.
University of Chicago, five years ago.
I was a second year, and I tagged along with my roommate to this summer associate recruitment dinner, where a very slick, very shallow, very smart attorney from WPK in San Francisco spoke.
I remember.
You were there? - Yeah.
- Did we talk? No, no, not at the dinner.
- But afterwards.
- At that karaoke bar? You were the girl that wouldn't get off the stage.
Law school Maggie loved the karaoke.
By the way, I did get off the stage when I tried to get you to sing.
- You remember what I sang? - Some George Michael song.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm certain that's why he didn't tour in America for years.
In fact, let's see if you've gotten any better in the last five years.
Oh, come on.
Everyone knows the words.
I've actually had this fantasy.
You, me, prison but there were more hot, captive women, maybe a steamy group shower.
Yeah, this is exactly the romantic getaway I've been dreaming of, too.
I should probably explain about Leigh.
I knew who you were when I got involved.
That's why they call it the past, Matt.
Did you just quote Charlie Sheen? I can live with your baggage as long as you don't unpack it.
Wow.
OK.
- And right back at you.
- Excuse me? Taylor, we drove up here with your baggage eating gorp in the back seat.
He's your ex-fiancé, the love of your life, and I have to watch you go off every morning, knowing you're going to spend ten, I never You're right.
About all of it.
Except the part about Eli being the love of my life.
I thought he was, but I was wrong.
That position has yet to be filled.
You taking applications? Absolutely.
Wait, wait, wait.
What are we doing? - You had a lot to drink.
- No.
I've had just enough.
We both have.
I just I don't want to mess things up.
You know? Things are gonna get messed up whether we want them to or not.
Look, I don't need you protecting me.
Just tell me this.
Where do you want to be right now? Here.
You do realize I have a phone.
Left you messages.
Never called me back.
That's because we've already had this conversation.
I can't tell Eli about the book.
Then tell me.
I spoke with Dr.
Lee.
She told me about Nurhachi.
About a kind of acupuncture that literally causes physiological damage, and that you practiced it.
- Only twice.
- On Eli? - Once with Eli.
- And the other time? Come on, Frank.
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
I mean, we're practically family here.
That's ironic.
The other time I performed the Nurhachi technique I did it on your father.
It was more than ten years ago.
I was working for him in his shop.
Your dad was in pretty bad shape, with the visions he was having - More reason not - He hadn't slept in a week.
There were these voices in his head, images.
It was plaguing him, Nate.
He was as close to a complete break as I'd ever seen in anyone.
Now, I was young and naive enough to think the cure couldn't possibly be worse than the disease.
But did it help? Well, I thought so.
You know, at first.
It gave him relief.
Allowed him to see whatever he needed to see.
But - Something happened.
- He died less than a week later.
Thank you.
You said you were taking me to dinner, I assumed there'd be tablecloths.
You are about to feast on the best cheeseburger in San Francisco.
Possibly the western seaboard.
Why didn't you say something to her? Parading her date around in front of you like that.
Why are you letting this woman walk all over you? I'm not letting her walk all over me.
The divorce, the way she treated you tonight, you're living in a hotel for godsakes.
There are worse places to do penance.
You lost me.
I cheated on Taylor's mother with Ellen for months, lying to her face about it.
Well then make it up to Susan, not Ellen.
And when Susan finally found out, when my lies stopped working, I tried to convince her that it was her fault.
If she'd been a better wife, a better mother, a better person, I never would have strayed.
What's happened with Ellen is just my poultry coming home to roost.
What a load of crap.
No need to be bashful, Patti, please, speak your mind.
Do you remember what I'm doing here tonight? Why I agreed to come here with you? You are making amends.
Maybe it's time you did the same.
Eli.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Were you pretending to be asleep just now? What? No.
I was I Maybe.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Kind of like last night, right? - Exactly.
- Except I was kidding.
- Yeah.
Me, too.
I'm kidding.
- Eli.
Hey, no.
Look, last night was great, but I don't think I've been completely honest with you.
Or with myself.
See, I was in the hospital over the weekend.
- Are you OK? - Yeah.
Well, no.
I was bleeding, and they found a second aneurysm.
I just haven't given myself any time to think about that.
It's why I was so happy to get out of town.
You know, change of scenery.
- Last night - Tell me you're not about to use your aneurysm to justify what happened.
No.
You're missing the point.
Maggie Dekker.
You're kidding.
No, that's terrific.
Yeah, we'll see you in court.
We have our witness.
Katie Bochner, the granddaughter, just flew into town an hour ago.
You got her? That's great.
- Can we just talk about this? - I thought we just did.
Look, why don't you just pretend to be asleep again so I can get dressed.
Hey.
My grandparents got separated while escaping Nazi Germany.
My grandfather got out with my mother.
My grandmother, she didn't make it.
After the war, my grandfather went back to try to find her.
She was gone.
And everything we owned, including the painting, had been stolen.
To be clear, you've never actually seen this painting.
- Never.
- Would you like to? My God.
Wow, it's beautiful.
My mother, she used to talk about this painting all the time.
Stories my grandfather told her about it.
When did your grandfather stop looking for the painting? Never.
He never stopped.
He didn't care about Moreau or what the painting was worth.
To him, it was priceless.
To him it was a piece of her.
Emotion aside, Your Honor, this isn't evidence.
Look at Katie.
Look at the woman in the painting.
They're practically identical.
I'm not familiar with the legal look-alike test.
Katie, show the judge your necklace.
My grandmother gave this to my mom in Germany, - and my mom gave it to me.
- I would like to move to dismiss.
And I would like to grant your motion, counsel.
But last night I came across a little precedent called Orkin v.
Taylor.
Heard of it? Under the Ninth Circuit ruling, an allegedly rightful owner has to file within three years.
You're not bound by that decision.
- Policy demands - Wait.
I don't think I want it.
Katie, this belongs to your family.
My family is dead, Mr.
Stone.
And this painting can't bring them back.
If you want to sell the painting, Mr.
Danvers, I'm OK with it.
All I ask is that you sell it to a museum so that people can see it and hear its story.
And so that I can visit it once in a while.
OK, Bonnie and Clyde, wake up.
Great accommodations.
One complaint.
The mattresses are a little stiff.
Thank you.
It's possible I may have let myself get a little carried away.
It's possible.
What? Matt has something he wants to say to you.
No I'm sorry.
I wasn't the guy you deserved me to be.
And it was easier for me to lie to you than admit that.
It's been ten years.
I think the statute of limitations has long since run.
Not exactly the result we were going for.
We were out to prove the painting's hers.
With that comes the right to decide what to do with it.
With those principles, I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say in the Russell case.
Something whistle-blowery would be nice.
- Maggie didn't tell you? - Maggie? I don't have anything to say, Mr.
Stone.
All the decisions about the hiring and firing of an on-air reporter like Sam, happened over my head.
That doesn't mean that I didn't care about what happened to Sam.
And it doesn't mean that I didn't leave Bay West Media with a whole mess of emails, memos, documents.
I never had the heart to read them, but, wouldn't surprise me if there were fairly useful things in there.
- Useful to who? - You're the lawyer.
Jesse, I would very much like to see those documents.
I gave Maggie the combination to my storage unit.
So Maggie has everything? She came to see me this morning.
Said she had to get back early.
- You guys work together, right? - Not so much.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I just thought You seemed like a good team.
Malcolm X, Solzhenitsyn, Mandela, what do they have in common? Wait, let me guess.
Posters I had in my college dorm? They have all done hard time in prison.
Just like us.
We're in that club now.
Who knew, a night behind bars was all we needed? Maggie.
It's me again.
Pick up.
- What'd you guys do last night anyway? - Nothing.
Worked on the case.
Why? I have to sleep with a woman to get her to flee town so fast.
Try her again.
Yes, in Golden, Colorado.
A number for Susan Bransford.
This is Maggie.
Leave a message.
This is the fifth message I've left.
So there's not going to be another one.
No, that's a lie.
There will be.
And then there will be one after that.
And one after that That better be you.
And it's not you.
Just please call me back.
Since when do you two hang out together? Huh? - This makes me worried.
- You need to hear this.
Frank.
I kept a copy of your father's journal.
So, uh So last month when I asked you what was in the book.
- Well, I begged you.
- Eli You looked me right in the eye, you told me it was gone.
- He was trying to protect you.
- Oh, yeah.
Wait.
- You knew? - Yes.
And you didn't tell me? So what, you were trying to OK, you were trying to protect me, too.
All right.
OK.
Protect me from what? If I told you about the book, it'd be even more reason for you to ask me to show you the Dark Truth, - to perform the Nurhachi.
- Maybe.
That would've been my decision.
- Yeah, but - If I want to roll the dice on a second aneurysm or a third or a fourth It's your choice, your life.
- You're right, Eli.
- Thank you.
If you're gonna make that choice, you need to know the truth.
- All of it.
- What truth? What? I performed the Nurhachi once before.
On your father.
When I warned you it was dangerous, I was speaking from experience.
So what? What? The week after I did the Nurhachi on your dad, he He had his heart attack.
I'm so sorry, Eli.
I didn't know That's how dangerous this is, Eli.
That's why you have to stop.
You - Just get out.
- What? I can't even look at you guys right now.
Just Just go.
- Eli.
- I said get out.
