Previously on Damages.

You aren't concerned
about the Feds looking into you?

The Bureau's
putting together a case.

We'll use you to monitor it
from the inside.

Patty thinks the UNR merger
is about an energy trading scheme.

UNR is using their power to
manipulate energy prices for profit.

You told me I could use the firm
to go after Frobisher.

My resources are your resources.

For the past decade, Frobisher's had
a high-end security firm on retainer.

Calder Protective Services.

If Parsons traces this back to either
of us, there will be consequences.

Aracite is toxic.

The final report
said that it was safe.

Kendrick had
the report doctored.

I gave half of my life to this man
and his company.

Turns out he's a criminal.

Do we have
an Energy Secretary yet?

Phil Grey.

Patty Hewes' husband?

We've only got
one night in London.

How about this
girlfriend of yours?

Michael's told me so much about you.
I'm so glad we could finally meet.

Are you alone? We need to meet.

Who was on the goddamn phone?

I don't know his name.

You killed him, didn't you?

He made a call to the
deputy director of the Bureau.

Is my supervisor in on this?

Of course he is.
Now, get me Patty Hewes.

This happened last night?

Who found him?

Agents Werner and Harrison
were sharing a domicile at the time.

I was staying with him.
Since my wife and I split.

Did you know that
he had a problem?

No, and he never
let it affect his work.

Didn't he have to
take drug tests?

Yeah, but there's ways
of getting around that.

Agent Harrison loved his job,

but we all have demons.

I guess that's how
he dealt with his.

This happens in
the middle of a case.

Aren't you suspicious?

Of course. And we've
investigated it.

There's no evidence of homicide.

Your cover
is still intact, Ellen.

We can still go
after Patty Hewes.

Well, it's okay.

I lied, too.

Jesus Christ.

My informant just
shot Patty Hewes.

♪ When I am through with you ♪

Everything okay?

Yeah, that's great.

Phil.

Ellen. How lovely to see you.

You have a meeting here, too?

No, the Sullivan Grand
is my home these days.

Oh.

Congratulations. Patty told us
you're first choice for Energy Secretary.

Fingers crossed.

Great running into you.

Yeah.

Tell Patty I said hi.

Will do.

Patty's husband
is having an affair.

Interesting.

I don't know what to do.
Should I tell her?

Well, let's think about that.

If I told her, I could prove my loyalty,
help secure her trust.

Or she could shoot you
for being the messenger.

Especially if she already knows
that he cheats and she lets him.

You're right. She won't
want that thrown in her face.

If you don't know
Patty's response,

smart move is to keep
the information in your back pocket.

So do nothing?

Yeah.

For now.

And to think my granddad
never even learned how to write.

I'm sure he'd be very proud
to have a library named after him.

God, I hated books as a kid.
Reading out loud.

You've told me.
With your stammer.

My father humiliated me
every chance he got.

Well, you've certainly
come a long way.

I don't know why
I'm getting all...

Am I done here?

Yes.

It looks official.
Congratulations.

Did you have an okay time
with your father?

He is who he is.

Before I go,
I'd like to apologise.

What for?

Questioning you the other day.

I only asked about your business
plans so that I could protect you.

I overreacted, Claire.
I'm sorry.

I don't doubt your leadership
of UNR.

I know that.

Okay.

Patty's agreed to a personal profile
in New York Style magazine.

Patty and Phil as Manhattan's
premier power couple.

Really?

Yeah, so be prepared.

The reporter may
want to interview you.

Why?

Well, she's granted
them full access.

This is the first personal interview
Patty's given in over a decade.

They will be fishing.

Whatever you say about Patty
will live in print forever. So remember,

she's a saint, her marriage is perfect,
she's the best damn boss you've ever had.

Got it.

Steering away from Patty and Phil
for a moment, let's talk about you.

Oh-oh.

I understand
your wife's pregnant.

She is, she is. A boy.

So how is it possible to balance
the pressures of a family

with a high-stress
job like this?

My wife and I
had our first child

the year I started
to work for Patty, with Patty,

and I don't think she understood...
I don't think I understood

the sacrifice that it took and the
commitment that was needed.

To a child.

To the job.

I mean, and, yeah, and to
the child. Yeah, of course.

But Patty, the equanimity,

the grace with which
she handles everything.

I mean, to be able
to build a law firm

like this and to raise her son
at the same time,

it's extraordinary.

Does Patty have any flaws?

Off the record?

Okay.

Not a one.

Be sure it just doesn't get too
flat on top. I like it to be natural.

Patty.

Hi, Ellen.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Sorry, I just need
your signature on these.

Think I look too orange?

No, you look just the perfect
shade of orange.

They're almost ready.
Sorry this is taking so long.

Do I have time
for a cup of coffee?

Of course. Thank you.

Ellen Parsons, Carla Stenson.
She's writing the piece.

Hi. Pleased to meet you.

We're doing the profile
on Ms. Hewes and Mr. Grey.

On Phil and Patty.

I'd love to include you in the article,
if it's all right with Ms. Hewes.

That'd be fine. Ellen would be
a great person to talk to.

She knows all my secrets.

I'm back.

Good.

Looks like they're ready.
Where do you want us?

Just casual, on the couch.

Can I give that to you, please?

All right,
right in the middle here?

Mmm-hmm. Good. Perfect.

Now, you ask Phil
all the tough questions.

Okay.

Okay.

It's hard to be casual.

Is this good? Are we doing okay?

Very nice. Now. Beautiful.

Hey, you.

Why did you shut down
my investigation of Arthur Frobisher?

I'm sorry. Did someone
invite you into my office?

I've been calling
your investigator.

He's refusing to look
into Calder Security.

I told him not to.

Why?

We're under
federal investigation.

I don't want anyone shining a light
on the Frobisher case.

We've connected Frobisher to
Calder Security. We have a lead now.

If I wait, he's just going to
cover his tracks.

We're at war with UNR,
and the Feds are targeting me.

These are my priorities,
and if you have a problem with that, quit.

I ran a background check on you,
Mr. Wilcox. You were in the Marines.

Military didn't work out.
Conformity was a problem for me.

That's why I became a private
investigator. I work for myself now.

Have you ever
worked for Patty Hewes?

I choose my clients carefully.

Is that a yes or a no?

That's a definite no.

People your age usually
don't hire people like me.

Is that a problem?

You work for one of the most
powerful law firms in the country.

You must have resources,
so why do you need me?

It's a private matter.
My fiancé was murdered.

I know who did it.
I just can't prove it.

Well, I'd love to help you out.

This migraine is parked
right behind my left eye.

It's stress.

Mankind isn't supposed
to live in cities.

Throws our serotonin
out of whack.

This is all Walter Kendrick.

Forget about him.

He's been using me, using me

to cover up his criminal activity
for I don't know how many years.

If you want to be done with him,
the only thing for you to do is resign.

I gave the company 20 years.

How do I just throw it all away?

Maybe it's time for a change.

What if you and I try to find out
what's really here between us?

Danny, I can't just sit around
and let Kendrick get away with all this.

You yourself said our company is still
poisoning people in West Virginia.

That's my problem. Listen to me.
You can't change UNR.

Maybe I can,

if I oust Kendrick
and run the company myself.

What I want
doesn't matter, anyway.

Why not?

The board just brought Mitch McCullen
in to be second-in-line.

And he's ambitious.

You better bet that
if there's an opening,

Mitch McCullen
is going to grab it.

It says something when a man
chooses to sit in his boss' seat.

What does it say?

Maybe he's not too happy
with his own job.

I love my job.

I think you'll find this useful.

Thank you.

Do you have more coordinates?

No, we're through with that.
Get rid of the car.

Chop it up. Dump it in the East River.
Just make it disappear.

Not a problem.

Yeah? It's Malcolm.

What is it?

It's been days,
no sign of Finn Garrety.

Has anyone else
approached the car?

No.

Okay, it's been long enough.
You know what to do.

Did I mention I ran
into Ellen Parsons?

I had a meeting
at the Sullivan Grand.

That's nice.

And how are you
this fine morning?

I think I need coffee
before I answer that.

Phil mentioned he ran into you.

Yeah, at my hotel.
He said he had a meeting.

He seems very excited
about his bid for Energy Secretary.

It always amazes me,
in a city this size,

you still manage to run into
people you know.

Patty.

I want to apologise

for pushing you to pursue Frobisher's
connection to Calder Security.

I got emotional.
I crossed a line.

We've talked about
your temper, Ellen.

It's a shame that you
still can't control it.

I said I'm sorry.

I heard you the first time.

Hey.

Hey, Mitch.
Thanks for meeting me.

It sounded urgent. What's wrong?

It feels like a betrayal
to even talk to you.

A betrayal to who?

I've been a believer in Walter Kendrick
for almost 20 years.

Everyone knows that.

I know the board hasn't been
happy since the merger.

What do you expect?
We're facing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit

that could have catastrophic
long-term effects.

Walter assured me that it's
only a matter of months

before he turns
that situation around,

but I don't think
it's going to happen.

Why not?

Because he's going to lose the
shareholder suit against Patty Hewes.

He's already authorised
a $50 million settlement.

She turned it down.

You know, I'd lay down my life
for Walter Kendrick,

but he's in over his head
with this merger.

I don't want to see him
drive the company off a cliff.

You think it's that bad?

You're next in line, Mitch.
You could right the ship.

I'd need your support.
The executive committee trusts you.

If you can get the board
to vote in a change of leadership,

I won't stand in your way.

I'll talk to my allies on the committee,
see if I can line up the votes.

And, Mitch, you can't let Walter
know you're making this move.

He won't.

I'll be discreet.

I had drinks
with Mitch McCullen.

You finally decided
to give him a chance?

He wasn't interested
in romance, Walt.

No? No.

He wanted to talk about you.

You're right.
That doesn't sound very romantic.

He told me the board is unhappy
with your performance.

He said they've lost
confidence in you.

The next earnings statement
will bring them around.

I don't think they're going
to wait that long.

Mitch is angling to oust you
and take over as CEO.

He said that?

Not in so many words, but I could
read between the lines.

I think he's testing me.

What for?

To see if I'll back him
if he makes a move.

What'd you say?

I said I would.

I figured it was best to let
him think I was on his side.

Good. That was the right play.

But, Walt, I don't think he would have
been bold enough to approach me

if he didn't already have
enough votes to get rid of you.

Well, thanks, Claire.

You need to meet
this head-on. Now.

I got a problem.
There's a loose end I'm worried about.

Yeah?

I may need to take matters
into my own hands.

This loose end, male or female?

Female.

What's your connection to her?

She's fallout from
the Frobisher case.

Jesus!

Guy's not even a client anymore,
he's still a pain in the ass.

If I take care of this thoroughly,
things could escalate,

but if I leave her alone,

there are ways that she can trace
her fiancé's death back to me.

Well, that's a hell
of a dilemma, Rick.

But as far as Calder Security
is concerned, you don't exist.

So clean up
your own goddamn mess.

Calder Security.

I did some preliminary digging.

Word is they have
extensive black ops.

Former military,
ex-law enforcement.

The cop that went missing,
he was still on the force.

I'm not surprised.

Connections in the police department
would be very valuable to Calder.

But I doubt that they would
rely on just a beat cop.

What do you mean?

I'm sure there's someone higher up
in the force who reports to them.

Can you find out who that is?

It'll be tough.
There won't be a paper trail.

And if these are the men
who murdered your fiancé,

you can be sure there won't be
any links to Frobisher.

But the first step would be to
prove these rogue operatives exist,

and then find out who they are.

What would it take to do that?

Money.

You can use everything I have.

Then I'll get started.

Oh! About that other thing,
you were right.

I'll be in touch.

Morning. Morning.

Let me check with my secretary.

Yeah?

You're asking for me?

Yeah.

The reporter would love
to interview you about Phil and me.

It would be my pleasure.

I was wondering, though.

Yeah?

How do you and Phil
make it work?

Come in.

This new mail guy is driving me crazy.
I said, come in!

Never gonna replace Uncle Pete.

Sorry, Ms. Hewes.
Is this a bad time?

Give it to me.

So you were asking
about marriage.

Well, you know, it's funny,
because everyone will tell you

it's about trust, commitment.

It isn't?

No, that's exactly what it is.

Trust, commitment.

I mean, some things
in this life are simple.

Yeah, well, I guess
that's comforting.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Is everything okay?

Yes. Fine.

I have to get back to work now.

Okay. Of course.

So as a young woman
working for Patty,

you must have an interesting
perspective on her marriage.

Patty's very private
about her personal life.

Well, the people I've interviewed
have spoken in such glowing terms

about Phil and Patty,

at a certain point, you have to
wonder if it's too good to be true.

You know, Carla, I see Patty
every day, and I can tell you,

she and Phil are absolutely
devoted to each other.

And working for Patty has taught me
something about being a woman, you know?

A professional woman. Seeing how she
balances work and her personal life.

What she prioritises,
how she prioritises.

She's nothing less
than an inspiration to me.

You want to take
me down, asshole?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Don't give me that horseshit!

You think you're the only one with
friends on the executive committee?

You may have friends,
but I have the numbers.

You won't survive the next vote.

There won't be a vote.

It's my company.

Don't think for one goddamn
second you can take it from me.

I'm sure the FCC would
be interested to know

exactly how you made
your first million.

Go ahead. But you take me down,
you're going down, too.

I'm willing to lose
everything. Are you?

There's a problem.
The Caddy's gone.

Anything useful?

No structural modifications.

Nothing's been tampered with
or concealed inside.

Only 51 miles on the odometer.
This baby's good as new.

Vehicle's completely clean?

There's one thing, though,
that doesn't make any sense.

For a car with such
little mileage on it,

someone sure has been using
the navigation system a lot.

Someone punched in a bunch
of numbers into the GPS.

Locations?

No. It's bizarre.

They just used latitudes.
No longitudes.

Could they be transferring information
to the energy trader using the GPS?

Could you get us a record
of all the coordinates?

I think so. It might take a while
to thoroughly hack the system's history.

Do it, Carl.

I'm sorry, Claire.

What do you mean?

I can't do it. I can't make
a move against Kendrick.

Why not?

He came to me. He knows things.

I can't be in
his crosshairs right now.

He's strong-arming you.

Well, it worked.

I don't have a choice.

As far as I'm concerned, we can't
get rid of this bastard fast enough,

but I'm out of the running.

I understand.

Why don't you do it?

I'm not interested.

The board knows your loyalty
and your commitment.

And Kendrick will
never see it coming.

That's true.

Could you even mobilise
the board on my behalf?

The votes are already lined up
to make a move.

If you want this, Claire,
it's yours. Say the word.

Her name is Anna Mercado.

Thirty-nine. Born in Brussels
to an American diplomat.

She's a senior financial analyst
with the London branch of Phil's firm.

London. Of course.

Well, she travels to New York
at least once a month.

What's this?

I've started to track down
Phil's financials.

Does he give her money?

No. Not that I've found.

These photos are just copies.
Someone has the originals.

If these get out...

You really don't have to
explain the situation.

This usually means blackmail.
I expect you'll receive a call or a letter.

Whoever sent these to you
wanted to hurt you. Badly.

Any idea who that could be?

Your mom came to see me.

What'd she want?

Don't get all dark.

She's just a little preoccupied
with abandonment issues.

My mom said that?

No, not in those words,
but, I mean, it's pretty clear.

She's worried about
losing you to me,

she's worried about
losing you to college.

Well, she doesn't have
to worry about college.

Why not?

I never applied.

I mean, the allure of an older woman
is undeniable.

In junior high school, I was always more
attracted to my older sister's friends.

It has nothing
to do with Jill's age.

Her energy is
incredibly attractive.

She lives in the moment.

I understand.

We just don't want
to see you get hurt.

Thank you, but I can handle it.

Well, anyway,
you'll be going off to college soon.

The most important thing is
that you're honest with her,

that you treat her with respect.

Thanks, Phil. I will.

I haven't felt like this
in years.

The board actually wants you
to be there when they fire him?

I asked to be there.
They agreed.

If I'm going to do this,
I owe it to him.

I want to look him in the eye.

Well, you've won, Claire.

And when you're in charge, get ready
for people to come out of the woodwork

with their own agendas.

I'm looking forward to it.

Starting with me.

I have a responsibility
to deal with Aracite.

I want you to oversee
the clean-up, if you're open to it.

Thank you.

New day. New chapter.

Ms. Maddox, this way.

Claire. Good to see you.

Where is everyone?

You know, I picked
the wood for this table.

It's American cherry.

Grows near the bituminous
coal fields of Pennsylvania.

You know why I chose it?

I'm not here for
a carpentry lesson, Walt.

I picked it because it bends well.
But it's strong.

And it takes
an excellent polish.

Not like some of the other
common American timbers.

Like pine, for instance.
Pine is soft and weak.

But it's especially
good for trim.

Cut the shit.

Do you really think you have what it
takes to sit at the head of my table?

You know I do.
Where is the goddamn board?

If you had concerns about my stewardship,
you should have come to me.

You lied to me.

I know about Aracite.
I know about the merger.

I know you've been fixing
energy prices with forced brownouts.

So you can't stop me.

The board will find out
who you really are.

And when they do,
they'll prosecute you.

All this plotting and betrayal
isn't in your nature, Claire.

Must have kept you up nights.

Except those nights when
you were sleeping around.

It's over, Claire.

An hour ago, the board voted
to let you go.

On what grounds?

On the grounds you had
sexual relations with Daniel Purcell.

You can't be serious.

It's a simple
legal issue, really.

You engaged in an improper
relationship with a UNR contractor.

That's a violation
of our code of conduct.

But then, as former lead counsel,
you would know.

You wrote the damn thing.

Don't you dare talk
legal ethics with me.

Have to say, it didn't help that
Mr. Purcell was a married man

whose wife was murdered.

The board tends to
shy away from that sort of scandal.

So did Daniel Purcell
tell you I was screwing him?

No. Mr. Purcell really
seems to like you.

Go to hell.

I probably will.

But while I'm here, no one is going to
take away my goddamn company!

Now, go home.
I sent you a present.

I don't want to
think about it right now.

I miss you.

You've been drinking.

What do you care?

I want you to
destroy the son of a bitch.

Everything you're accusing him of
is true.

Of course, I can't help you.
What I know is privileged.

It can't be used in court.
But I can offer you some insight.

What's that?

Walter is deeply connected.
He plays dirty.

And it is going to take someone
like you to stop him.

I've watched your career
over the years, Patty,

and I don't like the way
you do business, but I get it.

I get that it's necessary.

There's one more thing
you need to know.

It's about Daniel Purcell.

Yes?

I was as surprised as you
when he flipped on the stand.

But you can trust him now.

He wants to set things right.

Thanks for the drink.

Thanks for the advice.

You were right.
I'm done relying on Patty.

I've hired my own investigator.

Should have done it
a long time ago.

It's Tom.

What's up?

Hey, if you're near a TV,
turn on the news.

Holy shit. You're not
going to believe this.

Patty Hewes
may be heading to court again soon,

and this time her opponent
may be her husband,

Energy Secretary nominee
Phil Grey.

Mr. Grey's recent nomination catapulted
him into the national spotlight,

and he seemed a shoo-in
for the candidate post.

But that was
before he was caught

in a compromising
series of pictures

with a London trader,
Anna Mercado.

Now, Mr. Grey has been forced...

Oh, my God.

To withdraw his name
from consideration.

I'll call you back.

In other...

I thought you weren't
going to tell anyone.

I didn't.

Ellen, did you leak those
photos to the press?

No.

Patty must have.

Patty?

I'm up here.

I'm cleaning out my closet.

Just take whatever you want.

Thanks.

Actually, it's really
not your style.

I'll just give it
all to Goodwill.

Okay.

Are you here alone?

Michael's with his geriatric girlfriend,
and Phil's at a hotel.

I'm sorry. Must have been
an awful shock.

It wasn't the affair.

It was that he got sloppy.

Let himself get caught.

That bothers me.

I don't...

I can't figure out
whether I should thank you.

For what?

Sending me the pictures.

You could have been
trying to protect me.

Let me know
before the world knew.

Or maybe you were
just being vindictive.

I think you're angry.

I'm sorry that I didn't let you
pursue Frobisher.

This isn't personal, Ellen.

You've got to let things
just roll off your back.

Why did you leak
the pictures to the press?

That's my business.

It's not that easy to let things
roll off your back, is it?

Why am I here?

I wanted you to know.

Know what?

Things may be required of us.

Meaning?

Meaning this case

is going to get ugly.

That's all.
Close the door on your way out.

Patty.

Maybe we're both
the vindictive type.

My informant just
shot Patty Hewes.

Ellen Parsons.

What are you doing here?

You're under arrest.
