Original subtitles

This all started because of you.

It started because of Hassan.

Because he trusted me.

Philip Hardcastle you are under arrest

for conspiracy to commit murder.

Do you understand thecharges against you?

I don't want nothing to dowith Hassan's money.

What are you talking about?

50G's is a lot to askfor a grainy video.

Even if it's the AG with some boy.

Some boy who's my friend.

Who got killed because of this video.

This is about a dead teenager

who was sleeping with your boyfriend,

on a video that I saw.

Got a little drunk and we made out.

I wanna know why the esteemedAttorney General's lawyer

is threatening to sue my paper?

We've just been servedwith an injunction

preventing us from printingthe Sam Charles story.

I announced funding for thesuperjail, I did what he asked.

Oh, I work for uh, for ahigher power than Lawson.

- The Zuccatos.- Give me that phone!

Do you have any idea how manypeople died for this thing?

Oof! Aggh!

What have I done?

Oh God.

With all due respect Mr. Reede,

I doubt this injunctionwill hold up in court.

Every judge in the provinceworks for Sam Charles.

This is clearly...

Marty, Justice Dickersonpresides in federal court,

it's outside of myclient's jurisdiction.

I see no issues of conflict here.

This can't be happening.

Now, this injunctionallows me to examine

every single document, file,email, electronic device,

that relates to your story,

in order to determine whetherSam Charles is even alluded to.

Whatever you have, it will bebarred from publication.

- Is this thing solid, Marty?- It is.

And of course, Hal, your teamwill assist with the inventory.

We'll cooperate, Lewis,

but they've done their due diligence,

there are no grounds for libel.

You're letting them do this?

All right, Hal.

We'll go along with this.

We'll give the Attorney Generala chance to respond

to the facts of the story.

But you're only delaying the inevitable.

Spoiler alert:We will publish this story.

Okay, folks,

you know what we're up against.

And while they might delaythe journalistic process,

it doesn't mean we stop.

So we'll double check. Triple check.

Find new sources.

By the time we're through,we'll know more about Sam Charles

than he knows himself.

Thank you.

I should warn all of you right now

that nothing in this building leaves

while we conduct the review.All right? Nothing.

We should go.

How toxic does your client want this?

The court of public opinionis pretty harsh

when it comes to politicians

hiding behind bullshit loopholes!

How will they know?

The injunction forbids reportingon the injunction itself.

It's kinda tidy that way.

You assho...

Channing! What part of leave,now don't you understand?

I'm gonna need a completechronology of the events,

time line, that sort of thing.

God, he'll get away with it.

This is temporary. Come on!

Simon. We need someoneclose to the story,

with a cool head, to assistMr. Reede on the time line.

I need you tell me everythingthat's happened so far

that pertains to Sam Charles.

Well, it started whenDaisy made a mistake

in identifying the victimin the Suleman murder story...

One that was... brought the paperattention...

Ruckus.

Jim, I have something onSam Charles I wanna give you.

Philip Andrew Hardcastle.

Says here you're adecorated military hero.

Bosnia, working with JTF2...

This is a heartwarming strolldown memory lane, Detective Lutz,

but can you enlighten meas to why I'm here?

What were you doing at the top ofthe bluffs yesterday afternoon?

I'm sorry, what exactlyare you referring to?

You were seen on a plateauin Bluffer's Park

at approximately 12:20pm.

These photographs weretaken by a traffic camera.

Placing you there roughly the same time

Hassan Ali was pushed to his death.

Hmm.

What earthly reason wouldI have for pushing this

Ali fellow off anything?I don't know the man.

Are you sure you don't know him, sir?

I'm drawing a blank.

Yes.

Got that statement you wanted.

Thanks.

Mr. Hardcastle?

Do you recognize the nameSuresh Mukherjee?

Either a tennis player from the mid 90's

or an obscure Bollywood director.

I'd have to Google that.

No need.

How about Jazz Wireless?

This is where'd you tell us

why you paid Mr. Mukherjeetwo hundred dollars

for him to give you the phone numberof this Hassan Ali you "don't know."

Seems he saw the news storyabout Hassan's untimely death

and felt immediately remorseful.

And being a devout Jiainist...

I believe it's pronounced Jainist...

they practice non-violencetowards all living things.

Thank you, Philip.

I can call you Philip, right?

Anyway, seeing that he'sa devout Jainist...

he came to us to confess his part

in Hassan's sudden introductionto the force of gravity.

I'll need to see my lawyer.

I'm sure you do.

Simon?!

Oh shit. Oh!I was supposed to pick you up.

Oh my God, I'm so-I'm so sorry.

I did forget, but honestly, Cass,

this has been the craziest day...

Just stop.

And explain why Daisy Channing

is texting at two in the morning,

asking you to come and keep her company!

Sam?

- Hi.- Hi.

I didn't think-um,

you missed dinner,but it's in the warmer.

- Sorry.- It's okay.

I-I couldn't even get into myhouse to get clothes.

It was just completelyoverrun with reporters.

I went for a drive, and a ran...

Humm...

You must be exhausted?

I am.

I just want to take a showerand sleep for a year.

What? What happened?

Oh. I-I broke a glass at the office.

I'll get you a band aid.

I'm so lucky to have you.

Cassie! Cassie!

I swear to you,

she-she's on the outside ofthe story she made happen.

She just needed a friend.

What kind of friend, Simon?

Do you think I don't get thatyou're attracted to her?

Do you think I'm stupid!

I'm not saying you're stupid.

You're amazing. You're-you're smart.

I don't even deserve you.

Oh my God,

you slept with her.

Um...

Man, I tell you, I wannaget the smug prick,

but something's off.

Yeah, well,

I put him in cell D.

Did they fix the plumbing yet?

Not yet.

I'm going home.

Uh huh.

Detective Lutz...

Yeah, sure.

Uh, I'll be down.

It's the morgue.

Says they have a body we may beinterested in seeing.

Shit.

Who the hell is that?

Marco DaSilva.

I wasn't expecting that.

How does Lawson's boy end up dead?

It says right here the time ofdeath was between 10 and midnight.

Hardcastle was in lockup.

If he didn't do the murder, who did?

Thank you, Lewis. That's reassuring.

Yes, but keep in mind, Sam,

they can publish a version of the story

as long us it doesn't run afoulof the injunction's parameters.

Then remind them thatthe slightest inference

of an intimate relationship betweenKhaalid Suleman and myself,

and I'll use every ounceof my considerable power

to destroy them.

I'll hold them in contempt,I'll put them in jail

and then have their assets seized.

Understood.

Sorry you had to hear that.

It's fine.

I'm-I'm actually here about Hardcastle.

He's been arrested.

Reede's people are all over it.

It's murder Sam! What is going on?

I don't know, but there can'tbe any substance to it.

When we announced the Commission,

we knew that they would come after me.

I expect this is nothingmore than the Chief

trying to smear me by proxy.

I will do whatever you need, Sam,

but if we're going to get through this,

you have to be completely honestwith me about everything.

Always.

Hey, Daisy Channing, right.

Jim from Ruckus.

Glad we're doing this.

Jim, um, I didn't wanna not show up,

but actually, we're not doing this.

Wait. You're kidding?

Oh, come on. Please.

Look, they-they scrubbedmy story from the internet.

You can't find it anywhere!

My bosses caved and took my research.

Wow. Shit.

Yeah, so show me what you've got.

We collaborate and whatnot,

this story goes viral,we write our own ticket.

You know the Globe, The New York Times.

No.

Hey! Hey! I said no!

Ugh.

- Agh! Shit!- Get out! Get out!

- Jesus, you're fucking nuts!- Help!

Get the fuck out of my car!

- Get out!- You bitch!

Get the fuck out of here.

You're fucking insane!

Fuck you!

Simon!

Hey Simon!

We have to talk!

Yeah. About last night.

Oh. Right.

I was being stupid, but honestlyyou won't believe what happened.

No. Hold on a minute. You don't get it.

You to... You totallyfucked me last night.

What?

Cassie came home.

She read your texts.

Oh God.

I'm really sorry.

I was angry and needy - I didn't know...

What? So, what did you want?

You wanted to sleep with meor you just wanted to mess with me?!

Simon please. We have to talk to Mary.

They shut down the Rukus story.It's nowhere.

What?

DaSilva?! Are you serious?

Yes, sir.

You wanna tell us where you were

between 10pm and 12am last night?

Oh, come on.

You're the last person he called. Andyour number's popped up on a bunch

on his cell since then.

You know where is was.You know what I was doing.

You both know I was home.

What exactly are you saying, Mr. Lawson?

Oh, come on, we all know I'munder surveillance, all right?

And just for the record,

I'm an upstanding citizen,I pay my taxes,

I have a charity fordisadvantaged youth,

I employ hundreds of people.

So why am I being harassed?

Hassan Ali and Marco DaSilva,

two people who were workingfor you have been murdered,

so cut the bullshit andtell us what's going on!

All right. All right. Look...

I don't feel good about throwing a guy

who just passed under the bus, okay?

But DaSilva was dealing largequantities of drugs out of his office.

You said the same thing about HassanAli, said it's why you fired him?

Yes, yes, yes. That's right.

That's right.

After further investigations we realized

that DaSilva enlisted Alias a go between with his gang...

and he was supplying them.

Where's DaSilva getting all this dope?

It pains me that I somisjudged this man,

I mean, he was an great fleet manager,

but he had mafia ties dating back

to the times he waswith the police department,

and I guess he just nevershed those relationships.

You're saying DaSilva'smurder was mob related?

Well, I can't know that for sure,

but under the circumstances...

It has nothing to dowith you hooking up the AG

with party favors at your sex club?

Hey, consenting adultsattended those parties.

Consenting adults.

You know what? Check my whereabouts.

I'm not worried.

That's all of it.

I won't even ask what youthought you were doing?

I didn't think.

Okay. Marty looked into Ruckus,and Daisy is right.

Sam Charles story has beenscrubbed from the net,

they've issued a retraction

and they fired the blogger!

That being said,

Marty, what's our possibleworkaround on this bloody story?

We can write about the murder victims -

who they were, but not the why,

if it's related to the video

and by extension Charles.

Okay. But I think we can domore character damage

if we leak little bits and pieces.

Let's begin with Lawson'ssex parties. Daisy?

We have Avril Trong.

Right.

Madam, blackmailer,

murdered girlfriend of Hassan Ali.

But we can't mention Sam Charles

as a target of theblackmail, or the video.

What about the Judge and Orlandio?

No. No blackmail, no corruption,

just kinky sex and bad judgment.

Harry Beauchamp?

He doesn't lead anywhere.

But he confirms the sex parties.

Correct.

Why don't we get that from Avril -

she ran the exotic prostitutes,

why don't we find oneand see if they'll share.

- Simon can you handle that?- Yeah.

Next. What about the superjail?

We have Lawson in bed with the Zuccatos.

The familia has gone to greatpains to clean up their image...

we can spin out an entirefeature on that

and on the deal with Lawson.

It's still public record

that Sam Charles approved the superjail

after going on record against it.

Right after Hassan was murdered.

Could we publish that, Marty?

About the story itself, sure.

But not about Sam Charles motivations -

anything having to do withthe video is radioactive.

But it makes no sense.

Without the video, there'sno connective tissue.

There's the bugger.We've got this great big story,

with an even bigger hole in the center.

Till something changes,

we just rework that story...keep slicing away.

Next Khaalid Suleman.

Xannan please,

unless we publish, the men whokilled Hassan and your brother

will get away with murder.

Is that what you want?

What I want doesn't matter.

Nothing I do seems to matter.

Xannan, it's so hard to thinkabout what you must be feeling.

But you can't give into this grief.

They died alone, in the cold,they didn't deserve that.

I know. So help me.

Is there anything you can thinkof, anyone who knows more?

Daisy Channing confirmedseeing video on the phone of

Charles having sex with KhaalidSulema... the first victim.

Then the girlfriend of Hassan Ali

is murdered by a guy who hassome serious artillery...

looking for a phone.

The second victim.

And that Ruckus reporter,

he said Ali was tryingto sell him a sex tape

but was murdered before he could buy it.

Ali's the third victim.

Okay, all roads lead to Sam Charles

and some kind of blackmail, question?

How does DaSilva's murder fit into this?

Don't know for sure,

but it's connected to Lawson.

He's Ali and DaSilva's boss.

He knew that we had a wire on him,

but still risked meetingwith Charles. Why?

I put a rush on DaSilva's gun.

We should have ballistics today.

You know what bothers me?

Whoever killed DaSilvathey didn't take his wallet,

his phone his gun.

Like they want us to find something?

Maybe that's why the bosswants us to talk to Sam Charles.

As is bring in Charles?

And ask him if was beingblackmailed by Lawson

and conveniently murdered DaSilva.

Hhm.

As in gently ask him a fewquestions in his office.

He's still the most powerfulman in law enforcement.

Thank you for seeing us,Mr. Attorney General.

We have a warrant to searchMr. Hardcasle office.

Have a seat, guys, please.

May I see the warrant?

Ah, yes, sir.

And if you don't mind

we'd like to ask youa couple of questions.

Go ahead.

Chloe is my senior aid, she's fine.

Were you aware of a relationship

between Mr. Hardcastleand Hassan Ali, the victim?

Relationship?

We have evidence that Mr.Hardcastle was tracking Mr. Ali.

I'm sure you're mistaken.

We have an eye witness.

Did you know Mr. Ali, sir?

Oh, I might have met him at one of EricLawson's community service events.

We're official sponsors.

I expect that's howHardcastle knows him.

Actually he saidhe didn't know him at all.

Oh, well, he'd know better than I.

His office is right next door.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Sir, just one more thing.

Can you tell me yourwhereabouts last night?

My whereabouts?

I don't see how that's relevant.

With all due respect, sir,

Without accounting for your whereabouts

a special prosecutor will haveto take over the investigation.

That's won't be necessary.

The Attorney General is being agentleman, but we're dating.

Last night he was with me.

Can anyone else verify yourrelationship with Ms. Channing?

My sister.

I believe you know Daisy,Detective Lutz?

Detective Lutz.

We got the ballistics report.You're gonna love this.

Sure. On our way.

Based onballistics and forensic evidence

we can conclude that Mr. Marco DaSilva

is responsible for a series of murders,

including that of KhaalidSuleman and Avril Trong.

Both victims were shot with aweapon found on Mr. DaSilva.

The body of Mr. DaSilva wasdiscovered yesterday morning.

We are also investigating Mr. DaSilva'sinvolvement in a third murder,

that of his associate, Mr. Ali.

How you doing?

Stunned, like everyone else...

I thought you were mad at me?

You know parts of my case that I don't.

That's why I'm here.

Okay.

But I was wrong about Charles.

DaSilva killed them.

Sure, but who killed DaSilva?

The mob?

It's where the wind's blowing,

but I can't shake the feelingthat Charles did DaSilva.

I have zero credibilityabout this right now.

But you agree?

No one has a stronger motivation

for wanting DaSilva dead than Charles.

Okay. What can I do?

Your sister.

She's his alibi.

I think she's lying.

Chloe has pretty much cut me off.

She's seeing Sam Charles.

Is that okay with you?

Someone who knows more about Khaalid.

I'm definitely coming.

Thanks for agreeingto talk with us, Nazeem.

Can you start at the beginning.

Hassan...

He was tired of howLawson was using him.

He hired him outta thatfake charity of his,

but it was really to supplyhis parties with drugs.

And then Lawson met Hassan's girlfriend.

Avril?

Yeah, Avril.

So now he's got her supplying hisfreak show parties with skanks.

I was doing food prepand Khaalid was bartending,

but Khaalid got corruptedwith their sickness.

You mean because he was gay.

He wasn't gay! Your people did this.

What does that matter now!

In our culture homosexualityis not accepted.

We would have to shun him.

So what happened next?

Khaalid became friendswith the rich boy.

And then with Sam Charles -then we had to get him away.

So Hassan decided to blackmail SamCharles, by taking the video?

We were going to leavethis place for good.

We had other targets.

Orlandio Spence?!

That was our mistake.

He went straight to Lawson,who told DaSilva,

who beat the shit outta Hassan.

DaSilva woulda killed him,

but these mob guys wanted tohave something on Sam Charles

That's why they wanted the phone.

They promised to let him go,if they got it.

But Hassan called me?

He thought if he exposed them... that...

Oh my God.

He thought the story could protect him.

Okay. I'm done.

I owe you nothing more.

Wait just a minute there Nazeem.

Nazeem!

Hey! Nazeem.

Whoa. Hey.

Nazeem, that was a great story butI'm still confused about something.

All this time, you watch yourboys die, one by one.

You're telling me you keptnothing to protect yourself.

- What are you talking...?- The video.

You didn't make a copy?

Nawwh, I didn't.

- All right?- Not all right.

Now the way I see it, I can arrestyou for obstruction of justice,

or drug trafficking,

or... what you mentioned somethingabout a prostitution ring.

Or you could walk away.

But you have to give methe copy you made

of Khaalid's video?

Good choice.

Have a good life, Nazeem.

Please have these hand deliveredto the prosecutor's office.

District 1 to 12.

Well, if I knew I'd get a standing O,

I would have gotten arrested earlier.

Thank you.

Back to work.

Well said. Welcome back, Phil.

Soon this will all be behind us.

What do you want?

Chloe! Hey.

I know you're angry,

but there's somethingI need to show you.

Can we talk?

Yeah, let's talk.

I'm on my way.

Wow,

do you realize howdestructive what you do is?

Look, let's not fight.

I just need you to watch this.

Oh my God.

You have it.

Hello.

Hi.

I made supper.

I went to see my sister.

Oh. Okay. That explains it.

Should I be concerned?

Seriously?

She's still accusing me of murder!

Sam.

From the moment I firstmet you, I loved you.

I went above and beyondso you would notice me.

And when that happened,I told you that the sex was enough.

I lied.

I'm telling you this because...

I know everyone lies.

But some lies...

they destroy everything.

I did not murder Khaalid Suleman.

- But you loved him.- No.

It wasn't just making out,you were in love with him.

Oh, my God.

Why are you listening to your sister.

You said it yourself, she's insane.

Maybe she's using again.

Maybe that's what it is.

Whatever it is, honey, don'tlet it get inside your head.

Khaalid meant nothing.

The night Marco DaSilva was killed.

Where were you?

- I told you I went...- I found blood on your shirt.

I washed it. That's how much I love you.

And if you feel the sameyou will tell me the truth.

There can't be any more secrets.

I met DaSilva.

We had a deal. He had the phone.

And his bosses, they wanted to own me...

I... He came at me.

And I...

I-I needed to make it stop.

I killed him.

I killed him.

It's okay. There is nothing else.

No.

It's okay. Chloe...

- I'm sorry.- What?

Sam Charles, you're underarrest for murder.

What?

- You have the right to retain council.- Why?

And instruct council.Anything you say can be used...

Just a minute, hang on a second.

Why would you do this?

Why would you do this?

I love you.

Chloe, I...

I love you.

I don't believe you.

Anything can be usedas evidence in court.

Do you understand?

Would you like to speak to a lawyer?

I'm so sorry.

Chloe... Chloe please.

Chloe I...

Cheers!

Thank you.

Looks good, right?

Yeah, but self defense?

Lewis Reede is one slick lawyer.

Yeah. Well, even if he does get off,

Sam Charles isn't gonnacome back from this.

Yeah, probably not.

Hey Simon.

Do you wanna get outof here for a while?

I don't know, maybe grab a bite?

I'm sorry, I have lunch with Cassie.

Of course.

I totally understand.

Hey, check this out.

Lawson's suing thegovernment for 500 million.

Look at the commentsection, have you seen this?
