Previously, on damages...
I'm agent harrison. This is agent werner. We're with the fbi.
You just want to arrest patty hewes.
I want to destroy her.
If I go public with what I know, it could bring down an industry.
Do you think your firm killed christine?
Detective victor huntley, please?
What is this in regard to?
I killed my wife.
Unr is using their power to manipulate energy prices for profit.
Kendrick is intermittently shutting down power plants to drive up prices.
Each entry corresponds to a brownout.
And each brownout coincides with a futures trade made by...
Finn garrety.
Dave, the car was stolen.
So even if patty hewes managed to figure out what's on the gps,
it won't be admissible in court.
Ellen parsons is getting closer.
Take her out.
She's not gonna use me to bribe the judge.
I think she's gonna use tom instead.
Arrest him.
How long you been lying to my face?
We know she's planning to use you to bribe judge oliver.
Tell him you'll make it all go away if he refuses to make the bribe.
Then patty will be forced to use me.
- Just this once, I-i cannot do it! - I understand! I understand!
You're fired.
You see enemies everywhere, but you can't see the people who actually care about you.
I met with judge oliver.
You were right-- I think he'll play ball.
So, it seems like you're not gonna tell me the truth after all.
That's okay.
I lied, too.
Come in.

Damages Season02 Episode13
Your honor, mr. Betancourt is our new general counsel.
He's ably taken the reins from ms. Maddox.
Well, then I trust it, uh, won't be necessary to delay this case.
N-no, your honor, I am entirely up to speed.
And I see this motion as a matter of ethical constraints, pure and simple.
The only pure and simple thing about this case is your client's malfeasance.
Malfeasance? Really?
Your honor, ms. Hewes is in violation of the new york disciplinary rule 1-dash-102a,
subsections three, four and five.
You have no proof of that.
The evidence ms. Hewes has proffered could only have come from the suv in question,
and the only way she could have procured it is through criminal means.
She stole the car.
That is ludicrous.
And I intend to present witnesses corroborating unr's involvement in fraudulent commodities trading.
Forget about your witnesses.
Would you have this corroboration without the information extracted illegally from the vehicle?
All right, enough. I'll read your briefs.
Then I'll let you know...
whether this, uh, suv evidence is admissible.
You'll hear from me again after I've made my ruling.
- Thank you, your honor. - Thank you.
Ms.Hewes?
Based on what I've heard so far...
I'm inclined to side with the defense.
I understand, your honor.
Patty? You wanted to see me?
The judge needs these to make his ruling.
I want you to file this.
- What is it? - The gps codes.
They'll be inadmissible.
Just do it.
Have you made arrangements with judge oliver?
Why did you fire tom?
I'd prefer not to talk about that.
He wouldn't go through with it, would he?
Let me do this for you.
I told you, I don't want you involved.
You're being investigated-- you can't do it yourself.
Who says I'm gonna do it at all?
What is the alternative?
The alternative... is to believe in our case and trust the system.
Judge oliver doesn't believe in the system.
He believes in money.
All right, ellen.
Find out what his terms are.
Did you do it?
Ellen parsons...
is alive and well.
That's disappointing.
Not gonna do it.
You just made a big decision.
I don't care what you do to me.
I'm out.
And good luck finding me.
Thanks for coming.
How's the baby?
What do you want?
I'm sorry... it had to be like this.
- Are you? - Yes.
But you're better off this way.
Oh, your ego is astonishing.
Patty is going to jail, tom.
The more distance you get from her, the better off you are.
I'll never be able to figure it out.In less than six months you're in her inner circle,
god knows why, and all you had to do was stay loyal.
- Oh, you think this is about loyalty? - Look...
patty is-is... is no saint-- she crosses the line sometimes.
But she does it for a reason-- she fights for people that nobody else gives a shit about.
Why are you doing this to her? What did she ever do to you?
Don't do anything stupid, tom.
You tip patty off, the feds can still use everything they have against you.
Wes, is that you?
Wes?
Yeah, it's me.
You know, there's a warrant out for your arrest.
You stay away from her.
The next time I see you, there won't be a conversation.
now leave.
You can't proct her everywhere.
So...
you really did it?
Yes.
I know you can't help me with aracite, but I still need you, daniel.
You know how unr conducted their business.
You were privy to their fraud.
You can still help me to bring them down.
You want the testimony of a murderer?
Even if you killed christine, they helped you cover it up.
You'll never understand.
Understand what?
To find peace...
I have to take full responsibility for my sins.
Forget your work, patty.
Pay attention to your life.
Your family. I mean, it's too late for me.
but there will be no more betrayals, no more lies.
I want my daughter to know...
who I am.
It must feel like you're looking in a mirror.
But there's a difference between you and me.
I've confessed.
I got to go.
Patty, wait.
Tell michael...
he doesn't have to be like us.
This, uh, this gift isn't for my personal use.
It would be going straight into my reelection campaign.
We need to ensure the right kind of judges stay on the bench.
I agree.
Looks like you've really earned patty's trust.
She knows that i believe in what she's doing.
Tell patty she can contribute the usual amount.
Thank you, your honor. I'll let you know what she decides.
How did it go with purcell?
He won't be useful.
Well, judge oliver's ready.
What are his terms?
He said "the usual."
Should I tell him we're good?
I don't know.
There's something about it.
Don't you think?
What other choice do we have?
We're out of options.
There's no other way to prove those trades.
There's still one long shot.
Yeah?
- Mr. Garrety? - Who are you?
My name is patty hewes. I'm an attorney.
- I'm not interested. - I think you're going to want to talk to me.
About what?
The illegal energy trades you made for walter kendrick.
Never heard of him.
Then let's talk about dave pell.
I have a list of the stock trades you made for mr. Pell.
A man's wife was murdered to protect your investments.
And the company you've been trading has poisoned thousands of people so you could turn your profits.
I don't know anything about that.
Maybe not. Anyway, I don't care, mr. Garrety.
I've been having one hell of a shitty month, and someone is gonna pay.
What do you want from me?
I need you to corroborate how you used gps coordinates to make your stock trades.
I need you to testify.
Why the hell would i do that?
Because you're in business with my enemies.
And that's the last stupid mistake you're gonna make.
Listen, lady, you're lucky I don't crack you in the jaw.
Just ask around, mr. Garrety.
Find out who I am, and then decide whose side you want to be on-- theirs or mine.
- Leave. - Once.
I'll make this offer once.
You close this door, it will never open again.
Help me or you're going to jail with the rest of them.
I'll take my chances.
Your choice.
- Ms.Parsons. - Yes?
I'm detective rick messer, nypd.
You look familiar.
We met once before.
I was working a string of homicides downtown.
Your fianc? s murder fit the profile.
This is detective rick messer. He asked if he could take a look around.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope they find the guy.
Can we speak someplace private?
Sure.
His name is eliot tolken.
He was a beat cop for more than a decade.
As you can see, his whereabouts are currently unknown.
But I have reason to believe he was involved in the homicides i was investigating.
And in the murder of my fianc?
I want to help, ms. Parsons...
but I'm not here in an official capacity.
Why are you here?
Because if I'm right and tolken was involved,
then someone in my department may be trying to stonewall my investigation.
I see.
I reopened your file.
There is a partial print on the murder weapon that was never identified.
You think it's tolken's?
I'm having it analyzed.
I'm gonna solve this, ms. Parsons.
But I suggest you keep this conversation between us.
Accusing a police officer of a crime can be a very dangerous proposition.
I understand.
When the print comes back, I'll be in touch.
Thank you, detective.
The detective who came to see you is legit.
How do you know?
Rick messer has almost 20 years on the force,
half a dozen commendations and a sterling reputation.
So we can trust him?
Uh, I spoke to my contact in the commissioner's office.
Messer sounds like a stand-up guy.
Good. He said he'd be in touch.
This is what he had on officer tolken.
You're sure this is the guy that followed you on the street?
Yes.
- Can I hang onto this? - Sure.
We'll find out how this guy connects to frobisher.
I can't wait for you to see this building.
It's unbelievable, holly. They've got...
they've got windmills on the roof. Yeah.
Hey, ron, let me catch up with you later.
- I'm on the phone with my ex-wife. - It's don.
It's an environmentally responsible leed-certified green building.
Perfect headquarters for my new company.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Hey, I can't wait to see you and the kids.
I know-I know it's just a first step, but I'm excited, babe.
I-I tell you, the future's looking bright again. Yeah!
Hey, mom.
I read your college essay.
Oh, yeah? What did you think?
- I was confused. - Why?
I told you I was writing about daniel purcell.
No.
I was confused by the fact that all your applications are still in your bedroom.
Good. You went through my room.
You never applied anywhere.
Because I'm not going to college.
Why not?
For you, mom. Look at you.
What is that supposed to mean?
You need a man in your life.
And you have no one left but me.
Relax, walt.
The judge won't be ruling in patty's favor.
I don't share your confidence.
It doesn't matter anyway. Patty's gonna bribe him.
And when she does, the fbi will be there to arrest her.
How the hell do you know that?
There's an informant in patty hewes's firm working with the fbi.
Goddamn, it's always a pleasure doing business with you.
There's a finn garrety here to see you, mr. Pell.
What does he want?
I have no idea. Send him in.
Did you kill a woman?
Oh, look, it's the asshole who runs unr.
You don't want to talk to me like that.
Really? Aren't you the guy poisoning people?
That's enough, mr. Garrety.
Patty hewes came to see me.
Wanted my testimony about the trades we've been making.
What'd you tell her?
I told her to go screw herself, for now.
For now?
You put me smack in the middle of a big pile of shit, gentlemen.
I agreed to take your codes, make some trades.
You never told me anything else was going on.
What exactly do you want, mr. Garrety?
Let's start with a piece of the company, a major ownership stake.
- You're out of your mind. - Goddamn right.
I'm a frickin' madman, crazy enough to talk.
You got 24 hours, or I cut a deal with patty hewes.
And I enjoy the diet. Everybody has problems with diets today.
They get bored with them, and most diets, people don't stay on.
People buy this machine because it's easy to clean, but the food tastes so good.
Now, if you're on a diet-- chicken, fish or beef-- high protein.
Well, that's what this machine does: Chicken, fish or beef.
So you always look forward to eating the food.
And that, I believe, is gonna encourage people to stay on the diet, and that's the important thing.
Now, once you reach that weight-- I've reached the weight already.
In fact, I'm trying to gain a pound. Then you start to increase the carbs.
We can start eating a little bit...
What's all this?
Stefania's been going through uncle pete's things, and she sent these over.
Looks like some nice memories.
Is this you?
who's that?
No idea. Never seen him before.
Patty may bribe a judge.
Feds could have her in custody soon.
Congratulations.
What's wrong?
It's not enough.
They arrest her for the bribe, she goes to jail for a couple years, maybe.
She'll be disbarred.
She'll never practice law again.
Do you still have frank's number?
Frank?
The guy who doesn't get hung up on permits.
What do you want a gun for?
Now that I know how to shoot, I should have one for protection.
I'll give you the number, but ...
why don't you let me pick it up for you.
Okay. Thanks.
Sure it's just for protection?
Wes, do I look like a killer to you?
Hello, michael.
You remember jill?
Of course.
I'm just gonna get changed, then we're heading to dinner.
Take your time.
- can I get you a drink? - No, thanks.
I'm sorry to bother you. You know, michael thought that, uh, that you'd still be at work.
It's no bother at all.
Jesus christ!
All my shit is gone.
You cleared out my entire room.
- Yes. - Why?
You're not interested in college-- fine, but you don't live here anymore.
You know what, um, why don't I wait for you downstairs.
No, no, stick around.
You wanted him-- he's yours.
What did you do with all my stuff?
I sent it to jill'S.
Isn't that where you're going to be living?
You don't have any children. It'd be nice to have a boy around the house.
Ms. Hewes...
Tell me the truth, jill, when you look at him, do you see a man?
Michael, let's go.
Yes, go, michael.
And when I want another man around the house, I'll go out and find myself a real one.
Come on.
What's going on?
I thought we took care of this bitch.
Patty, come in here.
Who invited them here?
- You did. - I want them to leave.
They won't leave. People will always be there, waiting to put a knife in your back.
they hate you. everyone hates you.
remember, patty... trust... no one.
Ellen.
Michael's gone.
What happened?
He refused to go to college, so I kicked him out.
What is it?
Daniel purcell, phil, michael, tom...
the only one that was loyal to me was pete...
and you.
I haven't stuck by you because of loyalty.
No?
I believe in what you do.
Well, that's all I can ask for.
This... thing with the judge...
I wish we didn't have to do it.
I didn't choose this case...
but I can't just walk away from it.
You're the only one who can help those people in west virginia.
I know it's risky.
The feds are watching.
Waiting for you to slip up.
Are you sure you can trust judge oliver?
I'm not sure I can trust anyone.
Well, if we don't go through with it,
unr, kendrick, pell, all get off scot-free.
I think we should do it.
You do?
Yes.
Okay.
Let's do it. Get a good night's sleep.
This time tomorrow, it'll all be over.
We can both move on.
Good night, patty.
We're on.
What happened?
Purcell and garrety won't testify.
If she wants to win the case, she has to go through with the bribe.
Then this is it.
As soon as I know, I'll get you the time and place.
Ellen...
this is all because of you. Congratulations.
Why did you want to meet with me?
I know you're manipulating the energy market.
You really think you can trust finn garrety to keep his mouth shut?
And I know you're about to bribe a judge.
Perhaps this meeting can be mutually beneficial.
You're behind this fbi investigation, aren't you?
I have an informant in my firm, don't I?
Ellen parsons?
Ms. Parsons has been working with the feds for the past six months.
How did they flip her?
It was my understanding she needed very little convincing.
Patty, we can help each other here.
What do you have in mind?
I call off the feds for good,
you forget everything you've learned about the energy markets,
the brownouts and the merger.
I still want walter kendrick.
If that's what it takes, you can have him.
I need evidence that unr knew aracite was toxic.
I can get you that.
Do we have an agreement?
One more thing.
What's that?
Ellen parsons is going to bribe that judge.
She's acting on her own.
Understood.
Talk to the people you know. Destroy her file.
Get the fbi to disown her.
I want her arrested for it.
We have a deal then?
Yes.
Mrs. Mckee. Hello.
I was surprised to hear from you. Is everything okay?
I found something in peter's closet. It has your name.
Make******
Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, I'll take a look.
Did he ever explain these to you?
No.
If pete did anything bad, it was for patty.
Why do you say that?
Because everything he did was for patty.
And now he's dead.
I'm so sorry, mrs. Mckee.
So, what's all this mean?
It's evidence that patty tried to kill me.
It wouldn't mean anything to the police, but if I showed it to patty,
she wouldn't be able to deny it anymore.
So, what are you going to do with it?
I'm going to use it to get her to confess.
hello.
Ms. Parsons, it's detective messer.
Hello, detective.
I have some new information for you.
I'd like to discuss it someplace private.
Well, I'm busy today, but I could probably find some time this afternoon.
Good. I'll be expecting your call.
Who was that?
No one.
Didn't sound like no one. Who are you going to meet?
Wes, I can't explain everything to you. I'm sorry.
You can't be around here today.
Werner.
It's dave pell.
There's a change in plan.
We're destroying all records of of the hewes investigation.
After the judge gets the money, arrest ellen parsons.
Copy that.
Are you at the hotel?
Yes. I've been waiting for your call.
- I feel good about this, ellen. - Me, too.
Good. I'll see you in three hours.
- So this is where the camera will be. - Okay.
We need her on tape authorizing the bribe.
No problem.
- This investigation... - What about it?
I know it's corrupt.
I don't care. We both want the same thing.
But if you want me to play along, I need something from you.
What's that?
Whatever happens in this room with patty, I need you to trust me.
I'll get her to admit to the bribe-- that's for you--
but I'm gonna try and get something else... for me.
Yeah? What?
I want her to admit she tried to kill me.
You do your job, and this bribe goes through, ask her whatever the hell you want.
I have to see patty.
- You're not allowed in here. - It's urgent.
I have strict orders from ms. Hewes.
Trust me, she's gonna want to hear what I have to say.
Sir, you're not allowed in the building anymore.
Let's do this the easy way.
Oh, jesus.
Well, tell patty that I tried to warn her.
And let her know that I'm filing suit against her for wrongful termination!
I called frank. I need you to pick up the gun.
- I'm not sure you should have one. - What?
I don't think you need it anymore.
Wes, I need your help.
I'm sorry, parsons, I can't do it.
Tom, it's ellen.
I have nothing more to say to you.
Listen, I need your help.
Why the hell would I help you?
- Please, just hear me out. - All right, you got 30 seconds.
If you do what i ask, I can get the feds off your back for good.
Why should I trust you?
Just do it, and I'll explain everything.
Coming, baby.
Where's you boyfriend, sweetheart?
- I don't know who you're talking about. - Finn garrety-- where is he?
I don't know any finn garrety.
Now...
you see him again, you're gonna deliver a message for me.
- This is ellen parsons. - You at the location?
Yes, I'm here waiting.
See you in 15 minutes.
Shit.
Here's what you wand on walter kendrick, compliments of dave pell.
The aracite documentation is on this?
All of it.
Okay, let's go.
Who did this to you?
He said his name was walter kendrick.
Shit. Goddamn it!
- He did this as a warning to you. - Goddamn it!
He said if you talk, he's gonna have you killed.
Shit. I'm gonna nail that son of a bitch.
Finn, don't leave me.
Wes, I told you, you can't be here today.
I'm sorry, I just, um...
What's wrong?
I just had to see you.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
Wes...
Hello?
Ten minutes?Okay.
I gotta go.
Do you always have to go?
I told you there are things in my life that i can't talk about.
Who was that?
- Leave it, wes. - Seriously, who was that?
Don't be here when I get back.
Thanks, tom.
I want the feds off my back.
Hope you know what you're doing.
I do.
Is room 1909 available?
That would be great. Thank you very much.

Patty hewes to see ellen parsons.
Hello.
Ms. Parsons, there's a patty hewes here to see you.
Send her up.
Elevator's on the left.
- Ms. Hewes. - What are you doing here?
- I followed you. - Whatu o yowant?
Walther kendrick came to see me.
He threatened to kill me.
You had your chance, mr. Garrety, and I was very clear that you wouldn't have a second one.
But I can help you. I can help you.
We can help each other.
I don't need your help.
I am ready to testify.
I've made my decision.
- Everything okay? - I'm fine.
Come in. Have a seat.
Is that the money?
Yes.
Before I go meet with the judge,
you and I have some unfinished business we need to discuss, don't you think?
We don't have much time, ellen.
You know what this is about, don't you?
It's done.
What do you mean?
I want you to tell me something, but I'd like a drink first.
what's the matter? You shouldn't be scared.
Actually, ...
I take that back.
You should be scared.
You should be terrified.
It just would be so much easier if you said the words...
all I want you to do is tell the truth.
But I know that can be hard for you, so...
I brought something that i thought might help.
And who knows? Maybe the truth will set you free.
Ellen, don'T. It's not who you are.
You're right. You know me too well. I would never use this.
It's not even loaded.
so it's just the two of us, face-to-face.
Just the two of us.

I'm an informant for the feds. Don't know if you knew that.
I didn'T.
You know, working for you this past year, I...

You're corrupt, narcissistic, cruel...
I can be.
But so is the rest of the world.
Yes.
So I don't want you in jail.
No more cameras, no fbi, this is just for me.
You know what I want to hear.
During the frobisher case, you said that fiske's suicide pushed you to a place
that you'd never been before.
It made you do things you never thought you'd be capable of.
The weekend I stayed at your apartment, we both know what happened.
I could put this gun to your head and get you to say it...
but I don't want it to be that way.
I was... afraid.
I didn't trust you. You knew things...
so I...
So you what?
I told pete...
You told pete what?
I told pete...
to have you killed.
Thank you, patty.
Go ahead.
No. You're just going to have to live with this.
The feds are waiting for you to bribe the judge, so...
I guess we're gonna have to find another way of winning the case.
Just give the briefcase to the judge.
If I do that, they'll arrest you.
You have to trust me, ellen.

Now you have a chance to set things right.

There are things far worse than death.
Don't worry about dying, patty.
Face your fear. Face yourself.

Everything okay?

What exactly did you say to her in that hotel room?
It just feels so good to let it all go.
I met someone else. I hope that's okay.
I think I'll stay out here for a while.
So let me know when she calls.
I don't think we're gonna see her again.
I got a new job offer...
and I think I'm gonna take it.
So I'll let you know how it goes.
She'll be back. Trust me.
