All language subtitles for you met him.en

Previously on Damages:

Bloody, half naked,

wandering the streets at 7:00a.m.
Just your type.

All we found on her was this.

"Hollis M. Nye,
Attorney-at-Law."

I want to help you, Ellen,
'cause I know you didn't do it.

I am Catherine's legal guardian.

To get custody,
you're going to have to prove

that I perpetrated fraud.

The fraud you perpetrated
was convincing the state

you were a fit mother.

We'll get you a list
of our witnesses.

I thought about you
when you were gone.

I'm not really in the...
best state of mind these days.

Whenever you feel like it...
If you ever feel like it

and you're interested, I'm here.

She wants to get out
from under my shadow,

but she'll never be able to.

I've always wanted
to find a woman

who could step into my shoes.

I am offering my hand, Ellen.

You chose winning
over everything...

Your husband, your son, me.

All you have in your life
is your next case.

I'm not interested.

You are an ungrateful child

and you are in
for a rude awakening.

Our list of witnesses.

I need that research,
Bill. Got it right here.

Good afternoon, Ms. Hewes.

You're sitting
in Grandma's chair.

Well, you can get off now.

Get off Mommy's chair.

You're not my mommy.

And you're not the one
who's supposed to be there.

You're no one's mommy.

Get off.

You're no one's mommy.

Get off.

You're no one's mommy.

Get the fuck off!

Patty.

Patty.

You all right?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

This real estate contact
told me that Ellen

has recently pulled the trigger
on a new office,

and word is that a few clients
have approached her,

and she turned them all down.

Of course she did.
She's waiting.

For what?

For a case big enough
to put her on the map.

Now, look, this obsession
you have about this girl

is a distraction.

All she's trying to do
is get on with her life.

Now, you forget about her.

I can't.

Why not?

Oh, because she's going
to testify against you

in Catherine's custody case?

Ellen wants to hurt me.

Ah, come on, big deal,
she can't hurt you.

What are you worried about?

She knows things.

What do you mean,
she knows things?

Oh.

Well, that's a very
different story.

So I just want to say

congratulations to both of you,
and especially you, Tony.

Come on, everyone here knows
that Tony has been trying

to date Cheryl for...
Since tenth grade.

Somehow, after 15 years,
you got her to marry you.

I don't know
how you did it, man.

You... you, my friend,
you're a lucky man.

- Yes.
- Raise your glasses.

Here's to persistence.

Thanks, bro.

All right.

Thanks, man.

Hey, congratulations.
Thanks, Parso.

That was so beautiful.

Another bourbon? No, I'm good.

Uh, I've got an early start,

but, uh, the next round IS ON me.

It's already taken care of.
Congratulations again.

Hang on a second.

Hey, you're not sticking around?

No, I should...
I should probably take off.

[, uh, I'm sorry
we didn't really get

to talk that much tonight.

That's all right. Next time.

At some point we should get
dinner, you know, sometime...

or something.

Yeah, okay.

No pressure.

Whenever... totally up to you.

All right.

It was really good to see you.

Global trade
has grown dramatically,

but the Panama Canal,
one of the most...

That is about to change.

The expansion
of the Panama Canal

is one of the largest
construction projects

in the world right now...
A multibillion-dollar effort

that will add a third channel
to the waterway...

allowing massive cargo ships
from China...

Everything okay?

Everything is significantly
better than okay.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Where the hell are we?

This is my new office.

You might want to invest
in some walls.

Walls are overrated.

You hungry?

What are you doing
for breakfast?

Oh, shit.

Sorry, I have to be
in court this morning.

You trying a new case?

No, I don't have
any clients yet.

It's something else.
I'm a character witness.

For what?

I'm testifying against Patty
in a child custody case.

I don't get it.

Patty took her granddaughter
away from her son.

Now he wants her back.

Were you subpoenaed?

No.

I volunteered.

I'm looking forward to it.

The equity long-short guys

have been the darling
of your newspaper forever.

Well, hell, no, I'm not bashful
about the Fund's successes,

an-and you shouldn't be either.

All I'm asking for is a little
positive press from you.

That's all I'm saying.
Thank you.

Can you think of anyone

more useless than
a financial reporter?

Not off the top of my head.
You wanted to see me?

Some more information
is gonna be coming your way.

I see. So...

Usual protocols.
It stays on this floor.

I do not want it going wide.

Of course.

Is there a problem, Naomi?

No.

We're up 22%
in a shitbag economy.

Our strategies are paying off.
Be happy.

I got to take this.

But I'm taking you
to lunch today.

Steak, sushi,
you think about it.

Bruce Davies.

Fuck GenCorp.
Wouldn't go near it.

I've been

which is natural for me.

I grew up all over the world.

But you are an American citizen.

Technically.

The American State
Department said your Web site

is directly responsible
for the deaths

of three diplomats in Iraq.

Untrue.

Still, if you're leaking
stolen information.

I don't leak anything.

I provide a safe haven
for whistleblowers

who want to get information
to the public.

What about your personal life?

One when you live in shadow.

I receive a lot of threats.

Governments and CEOs
throughout the world have...

Turn it off... condemned
my Web site and its mission.

Do you recognise...
You haven't seen the whole cut.

I don't need to.

PBS wants to air it
in the States.

Do you approve?

I don't like how I come off.

I think you come off great.

Channing?

She called.

Did she make a decision? No.

She wants to have
a conversation, face-to-face.

Fly her over here.

She won't come.

She doesn't want to cast
suspicion on herself.

She said it's time-sensitive.

Make arrangements.
We're going to New York.

I don't think that's wise.

She'll come through
for us, Rutger.

Trust me.

I'd prefer to be the one
to talk to her.

And we're gonna need to find
ourselves an attorney.

Whatever you think is best.

Just make arrangements.

I respectfully request that
Ms. Parsons be removed

from the witness list and not be
allowed to testify, Your Honor.

Ms. Parsons is
a legitimate character witness.

She can attest to Ms. Hewes'
fitness as a parent.

Ms. Parsons is single
and childless.

She doesn't know the first thing
about motherhood.

That's irrelevant.

Ms. Hewes regularly brought
my client's daughter

to the office.

Ellen Parsons was
an associate in my law firm.

She signed a confidentiality
agreement, Your Honor.

She can't testify
to what she witnessed...

Or claims she witnessed...
While working for me.

You have the discretion
to decide that, Your Honor.

All right, look.

This weekend's Columbus Day,
and I'm going apple picking.

I will take your briefs with me
and think about it.

Thank you.
Thank you, Your Honor.

Sorry, Ms. Parsons, I'm afraid
you won't be testifying today.

You have the right
to speak to an attorney.

You're aware of that?

I don't need an attorney.

You make me come to you,
and you're late?

I was stuck in a meeting.

So, I have a proposal for you.

Hmm, what's that?

One weekend every three months.

One weekend.

It's generous.

You haven't a legal leg
to stand on, so just take it.

What happened?

Until today, you've refused
to move an inch;

now suddenly
you're making an offer?

Michael, I have
real cases to try.

I can't waste my time on this.

No. You're afraid.

Of you?

No. You don't want
Ellen to testify.

You're worried about
what she's going to say.

What does she know
about you anyway?

One weekend every three months.

Not good enough.

It's better than
you'll get in a trial.

Ms. Hewes?

Yeah?
A Rutger Simon called for you.

In regard to what?

Channing McClaren
wants to meet with you.

I'm grateful you came,
Ms. Hewes.

I've been following your career.

Likewise.

So you know what I do?

Of course.

What can I do for you?

I'm going 10 be receiving some
sensitive information soon.

I'll need a civil attorney.

What kind of information?

I can't tell you that.

Can you give me
the general area?

I just said I can't tell you.

Don't waste my time.

It's about Wall Street.

A rather large investment bank
has been misbehaving.

How large?

The institution's
over a century old.

Its assets are worth
$500 billion.

And you think as soon
as this information comes out,

someone's going to sue you?

It happens every time
I post a leak.

I've been living in Europe
for the past decade, but...

now I need an American attorney.

I appreciate some of your work,
Mr. McClaren,

but I'm not sure
I approve of your methods.

My methods?

The hacking world's
like the Wild West,

and you're
the self-appointed sheriff.

Who's policing you?

I don't need policing.
I expose the truth.

By stealing secrets?

I'm flattered
by your interest, but...

you and I aren't a good fit.

Don't be stupid.

You need me.

Do I?

More than I need you.

You're an old woman.

You have just a handful
of productive years left

until my generation unseats you.

You may dislike
my methods, but...

with me, you'll stay relevant.

I'll take my chances
without you.

But if you're looking
for an attorney...

This is the best one I know.

Thank you for flying over,

but I prefer to talk
directly to Mr. McClaren.

Channing thought it was best
you deal with me.

They got another tip.

This one's
gonna make them billions.

How high up the ladder
does this go?

I can't say. I only know
what happens in Fund 23.

My supervisor runs it
as he sees fit.

You can stop him.
You have the evidence, right?

Fund records, trades,
account information?

I have access to everything.

Good.

I do this, they're gonna
shut the Fund down.

I won't have a job.

We can guarantee your anonymity.

Your name will be removed.

I have a daughter.

She's applying to college.

I don't know if I can be
in the middle of all of this.

I understand.

Not everyone can handle
the pressure.

But if you do want
to move forward,

use this to encrypt your data.

There's instructions in here,

how to upload everything
to our server.

If you decide you can help us,

these codes are good
for the next 48 hours.

So, why would you turn down
McClaren as a client?

I don't like him.

Well, what the hell does that
got to do with anything?

This kid's the new wave.

He's an international
phenomenon.

He's arrogant
and he's dangerous.

Huh.
What?

What is it?

The judge is going to let
Ellen testify against me.

So, now you got
to protect yourself.

You got to forget about
your granddaughter.

Oh, come on, you don't
want her anyway.

She's just another distraction.

I sent my kids
to boarding school.

I gave them to someone who knew
what to do with them.

Michael has no idea
what it means to be a parent.

Do you?

You tried it once.
It didn't work.

Now you got to move on.
You got to focus on your career.

Take McClaren as a client.

If you're so worried that
Parsons gonna hang you in court,

then you got to suck it up
and give your son back his kid.

I was thinking about you.

Are you sure you want
to get involved

in Patty's custody battle?

Seems a bit personal.

It's already personal
between me and Patty.

Testifying against her
is the least I could do.

What do you mean?

Patty's... done certain things.

Like what?

It's probably better
if I don't tell you.

Okay.

The woman belongs in prison.

So go to the police.

The things I know about her,
I-I can't prove.

I don't have any hard evidence.

It would just be
my word against hers.

Well... all I'm saying is,

you're trying to move your
career forward.

Patty's very powerful.
She could hurt you.

I hear you.

You're not the first person
to warn me about Patty.

Detectives. Come in.

Hi. It's been a while. Yeah.

Thanks, uh, thanks
so much for coming.

We have
the evidence you asked for.

I appreciate it. You were lucky.

Uh, usually when a case
is solved,

uh, this stuff
gets shipped upstate.

You really didn't have
to bring it down.

I was happy to come pick it up.

Well, we were glad
to hear from you.

We were wondering
how you were doing.

Oh, good. Thanks.

Uh, Detective Ortiz and I talk
about your fiancé's case

all the time.

It's good to see you're well.

Thank you.

Anyway, this evidence, um...

we
Bent the rules to get you this,

SO can you give us a heads-up
when you're done?

Yeah, of... Absolutely, of
course.

You take care.

If you need anything,
you let us know?

[ Will.

You're special, Ellen, but that
will only make the fall harder.

There won't be room
for you and Patty.

With Patty Hewes,
there's only Patty.

She'll see what I see,
and she'll own you.

Ms. Hewes...

Ellen Parsons is missing.

Oh.

Any idea where she's at?

Mom? Hmm?

I'm gonna go meet
some friends downtown.

All right. When do you think
you'll be home?

Not late.

I have my interview
at City College in the morning.

All right. Have fun.

Yeah. Bye. Bye.

I love you.

Princefield,
one of the country's largest

and oldest investment banks
is the latest institution

to find its secrets splashed
across the Internet.

Company documents posted by
cyber-hacker Channing McClaren

suggest that Prince field's
Fund 23 reaped massive profits

from a widespread program
of insider trading.

Government agencies
have already called for

a full investigation.

Insider trading?
How did this happen?

I don't know.

But it fucking happened.

Channing McClaren got a hold of
all of our records.

Did you have anything
to do with this?

Of course not.
It seems like everything

came out of
your goddamn computer.

That's not possible.

I don't know what
you fucking did, Naomi,

but we're all dead.

You, me, every trader
on this floor.

I suppose I should
feel insulted.

What are you talking about?

"Personal e-mails reveal
trader's sex-capades."

Apparently, you threw a hump

to every Wall Street
executive but me.

In an unusual turn for
Mr. McClaren's organisation,

however, the leak also contained

graphic and
sexually explicit content

belonging to a Naomi Walling,
a Princefield employee.

Hundreds of personal e-mail
messages containing

intimate details appear to
romantically link Ms. Walling

to several high-level
Wall Street executives.

The inclusion of this personal
content calls into question

Mr. McClaren's ability to
disseminate sensitive material

and directly contradicts his
principle of not identifying

whistleblowers
who contribute to his site.

Why would McClaren want to air
this woman's dirty laundry?

I told you I didn't like him.

What, do you think
he did this on purpose?

No. It's got to be, um...

It's got to be a screwup.

Regardless, there is a very...

interesting case here.

You gonna want to sue McClaren?

How the hell did this happen?

And why won't you assholes
call me back?

Mom?

I heard.

I can't talk about this
right now, Rachel.

Mom... Mom, are you okay?

I can't.

Hello.

Hello. This is Patty Hewes.

Channing.

So, why didn't you take credit
for High Star?

Why do you want to know?

Howard Erickson's in prison. You
filed the case.

But Patty Hewes got the glory.

Why did you contact me,
Mr. McClaren?

I assume you've seen the news.

Yeah.

This kind of thing has never
happened to me before.

What kind of thing?

Someone's personal information
being posted on my site.

Naomi Walling
was a whistleblower.

She came to me with revelations
about Princefield.

I would never expose
one of my sources.

And I have no interest
in attacking her personal life.

Then how did Ms. Walling's
information get out there?

I don't know, but it is
very bad for my organisation.

We're still trying
to figure it out.

Do you think Walling
will sue me?

Quite possibly.

But do you think she'll have
a case against me?

It depends on the details
of what actually happened.

Okay, stop. Listen, what I'm
asking you is, will she sue me?

Mr. McClaren, I don't know
what she'll do.

You're not wrong
to fear a lawsuit.

You need a lawyer.

Is that why I'm here?

Yes.

I'd like to hire you.

Well...

I'm interested...

but I-I just went out on my own.

I doubt I have the resources
that you'll need.

No, resources aren't a problem.

I have sponsors,
donors with deep pockets.

I'm just curious, but...

Why me?

You came very highly
recommended.

By whom?

Patty Hewes.

Patty gave you my name?

She thinks you're
a very skilled attorney.

Well, um,

Mr. McClaren, I'm going
to have to think about this.

Of course.

I look forward
to speaking with you.

Uh, can you just wait here
for a second?

Of course.

Mom, Patty Hewes is here.
She wants to talk to you.

I don't want to talk
to any lawyers.

She called. She called. She...
I asked her to come.

She said that
she could help you.

Please leave. I'm sorry
you had to waste a trip up here,

but I don't need an attorney.

Mom, listen to what
she has to say.

I understand how you must be
feeling right now,

but you have a good case.

Channing McClaren
violated your privacy.

The information that was leaked
came from your files.

Either you provided it
willingly,

and he was to leave out
your personal information...

I asked you to leave.

Or he hacked in and
stole everything from you.

We're through here.

What are you afraid of,
the bank?

McClaren?

Don't make me call downstairs.

You are under tremendous
scrutiny right now.

It seems as though
there is nowhere to turn,

but you are being very foolish.

I don't want any more
media attention.

Suing him will
only make it worse.

Everything is gonna
get worse, no matter what.

The bank is gonna blame
the fraud on you.

McClaren is gonna
throw you under the bus.

And day after day, the vultures
in the press are gonna have

a feeding frenzy
over your reputation.

Please...

Mrs. Walling,
let me protect you.

Donald, there's a woman here
that won't leave.

Yes, call the police.

Please think about
what I'm saying.

I'm... I am so sorry, Ms. Hewes.

She's just upset.
She didn't mean to...

Your mother's
not thinking clearly.

She needs help.

So when she calms down,
you talk to her.

I will.

Okay.

Channing McClaren?

That's great.

He's exactly the kind
of client you need.

Yeah, except Patty
recommended me to him.

Oh. Shit.

You think
she's fucking with you?

Somehow.

If I accept the job
with McClaren,

I'll be playing
right into Patty's game.

So, what are you going to do?

Any idea what she's up to?

My mother won't listen.

I couldn't change her mind.

Do you know
if the personal things

that have been written
about her are true?

She had affairs,
if that's what you mean.

My father left when I was seven.

She's had problems with men,
but she didn't deserve this.

No, of course not.

But why are you here, Rachel?
What do you want me to do?

Punish McClaren.

I can't if your mother
isn't willing to be a plaintiff.

Then... I'll sue him.

Your mother is
the one who was wronged.

Unfortunately, I can't bring
a suit on your behalf.

So, McClaren destroys
my mother's life,

and he gets to just walk away?

I'm afraid so.

Ms. Hewes, I'm worried
about my mom.

She's had problems before.

What kind of problems?

Anxiety, depression. She...

It's not good.
I've seen how dark she gets.

Well, I can give you the name
of a good psychiatrist.

But if she doesn't want
to file a suit,

there's nothing else
I can do for her.

Mm.

Rachel?

If there are new developments,
if your mother changes her mind,

I promise you,
I'll be here to help.

Yeah.

Yes, I
have documents right here.

Yes, you can send a courier.

So much for that.

Thank you. Have a good day.

The kid said her mother
battled depression.

With any luck,
she'll off herself.

Then you'll be back in business.

Tomorrow's the big day.

Ellen Parsons
is going to testify.

She'll see what I see,
and she'll own you.

It's done.

I could put this gun to
your head and get you to say it,

but I don't want it
to be that way.

You know what I want to hear.

I told Pete...

to have you killed.

Am I correct that directly
out of law school

Patty Hewes hired you
to work at her firm?

Yes.

And you've worked with her
on and off for four years?

Yes.

During that time, would you say
that you got to know her well?

Very well.

Broadly, how would you describe
her character?

Your Honor...

I respectfully request a stay
in these proceedings.

Why?

I believe neither Ms. Parsons'
state of mind nor her testimony

can be considered impartial
at this time.

What makes you say that?

Ms. Parsons and I will soon be
engaged as opposing attorneys

in what will be a highly
publicised lawsuit.

What kind of lawsuit?

Last night a woman named
Naomi Walling

tragically took her own life.

Shh...

This morning I was contracted
by Naomi Walling's daughter

to pursue a wrongful death
suit on her behalf.

And who is this lawsuit against?

Channing McClaren...

whom I believe is
Ms. Parsons' only client.

I'm not going 10 have another
case tried in my courtroom.

If this is accurate,
Ms. Parsons,

then it's one or the other.

You can either testify against
Ms. Hewes

or try a case against her.

What's it going to be?

I'd like ten minutes
to consider.

Looks like you have
a decision to make.

Whatever you're going
to say on the stand

won't help Michael win custody.

But I'll say it anyway.

It'll be on the record...

and the public will know
the truth about you.

McClaren said
you recommended me.

Do you think
he would have hired you

without my recommendation?

I haven't accepted
the job, Patty.

What are you waiting for?

You can either get up
on the stand

and trumpet my secrets
to the world...

or you can do what
you really want to do.

And what is that?

Come after me where it counts.

Prove yourself in a case
against me.

You hate me?

You want to end this
once and for all?

Now's your fucking chance.

Mr. McClaren.
It's Ellen Parsons.

I want the job.

Detective, I don't know what
you're hoping to learn from me,

but I'm supposed to be
in court right about now.

We know.

Ellen Parsons was scheduled
to testify against you today.

Can't imagine you're
too pleased about that.

Know what she was gonna say
on the stand?

No.

And if she's missing...

I guess we'll never get
a chance to find out.
