I was curious about
your experience with them.
181
00:09:56,888 --> 00:09:58,674
They get a bad rap, but...
182
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:04,685
You shouldn't believe
the shit you see in the news.
183
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:06,435
They were always
really good to me.
184
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:08,346
Then why did you leave?
185
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:12,934
You're not looking
to sue me, are you?
186
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:16,355
'Cause, don't forget, I
got all sorts of dirt on you.
187
00:10:16,825 --> 00:10:18,407
You do. You definitely do.
188
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:27,624
I didn't leave
because of the company.
189
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,502
They offered me
a promotion, actually.
190
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,628
I was just burned out. It
was time to come back home.
191
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:37,547
I can't even imagine.
192
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:41,763
Not that being home
is some big prize.
193
00:10:43,226 --> 00:10:46,469
The whole experience
was surreal.
194
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:49,930
Surreal how?
195
00:10:50,859 --> 00:10:53,567
The week after I get back,
it's Halloween.
196
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:00,027
I'm on my mom's porch
handing out candy.
197
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:05,988
Eight-year-old G.I. Joes
with assault weapons
198
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:07,156
walking around.
199
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:10,450
Skeletons.
Like it's all a big joke.
200
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:18,501
Fuck it. Maybe it's just me.
Sorry to go on like that.
201
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:23,889
No, it must be difficult,
like, I can't even imagine.
202
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:30,012
It's just strange walking
through the neighborhood
203
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:33,103
when you feel like you
gotta keep checking rooftops.
204
00:11:33,568 --> 00:11:34,524
Did something happen
to you over there,
205
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:36,651
while you were
working for Erickson?
206
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:40,405
Look, Ellen,
I'm really glad to see you...
207
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,993
But I don't want to
talk about High Star any more.
208
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:47,825
Of course.
I understand. I'm sorry.
209
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,249
All right. And I don't
care what you say,
210
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,119
next round's on me.
211
00:12:06,976 --> 00:12:09,263
Did he tell you why
he left High Star?
212
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:13,476
No, but something
happened before Halloween
213
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:14,890
that made him leave the company.
214
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:16,357
What'd he say?
215
00:12:17,612 --> 00:12:21,446
He wouldn't explain it,
but there's something wrong.
216
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,197
I mean, he was a different
person in high school.
217
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:25,234
He was upbeat, outgoing.
218
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,819
What was your relationship
with this guy, anyway?
219
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:30,580
I let him cheat off of me
in geometry class.
220
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:33,249
That's hot. (BOTH LAUGHING)
221
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:35,581
It's kind of hot when you're 16.
222
00:12:37,006 --> 00:12:39,998
But we ended up dating for, like,
15 minutes. He was a good guy.
223
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:43,339
Look, I know you feel
pressure to bring in a case...
224
00:12:43,638 --> 00:12:45,220
I've brought in plenty of cases.
225
00:12:46,808 --> 00:12:48,264
They've just all been rejected.
226
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,426
Maybe because
they were long shots.
227
00:12:51,854 --> 00:12:54,141
I think if I could spend a
little more time with him,
228
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,851
I could get him to open up.
229
00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:58,558
What is it with
you and High Star?
230
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,190
They're a private army, Killing for
a profit. Making money off of death.
231
00:13:04,826 --> 00:13:08,160
If he's a friend, maybe
you don't want to push him.
232
00:13:19,549 --> 00:13:20,459
(SPEAKING ARABIC)
233
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:22,840
Please eat.
234
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,066
Mr. Girotto's here.
235
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:49,826
Hello, James.
236
00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:52,449
How many hours of sleep
did you get last night?
237
00:13:52,749 --> 00:13:53,659
Cut the shit, Patty.
238
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,159
Oh, I got seven. The most
restful sleep I've had in months.
239
00:13:57,462 --> 00:13:58,668
That's fantastic.
Can we get on with this?
240
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:01,045
My client's been waiting a
year to schedule this deposition.
241
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:04,459
Your client's deposition
is part of discovery in a case
242
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,422
that involves the deaths
of dozens of people.
243
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:09,304
I think a little patience
isn't going to hurt anyone.
244
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:12,091
I'm late for my kid's science
fair. What are your terms?
245
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,179
The deposition will
be held in my offices.
246
00:14:14,729 --> 00:14:15,719
That's fine.
247
00:14:16,022 --> 00:14:16,932
Seven days.
248
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:18,892
He's flying in from Paris.
You get one.
249
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:22,355
Your client didn't develop a
deadly vaccine overnight. Six days.
250
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:24,319
Three.
251
00:14:24,906 --> 00:14:27,193
Five.
Or he can wait another year.
252
00:14:27,909 --> 00:14:30,867
If you agree to limit your questions
to the trial-to-market period.
253
00:14:31,537 --> 00:14:32,868
What else?
254
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:34,620
I want a translator.
255
00:14:34,916 --> 00:14:36,202
I saw your client
on Charlie Rose.
256
00:14:36,501 --> 00:14:38,083
His English is
better than his French.
257
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:45,541
We haven't tried a case against
each other in over a decade, James.
258
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:46,753
You still bitter?
259
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:48,759
I don't like to lose. (LAUGHS)
260
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,216
Well, get used to it.
261
00:14:52,183 --> 00:14:54,641
Anything else I can get
you for the deposition?
262
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,927
Croissants? A beret?
263
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:58,519
Fuck you, Patty.
264
00:14:58,815 --> 00:15:00,101
Have a lovely day.
265
00:16:12,221 --> 00:16:13,211
Hey.
266
00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:14,720
Hey.
267
00:16:18,227 --> 00:16:19,467
She's beautiful.
268
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:22,061
Ghwarri.
269
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,270
Say hello to Ellen Parsons.
270
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:27,479
Hey. Ellen and I go way back.
271
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,318
You can trust her.
272
00:16:30,198 --> 00:16:31,859
She's one of the good ones.
273
00:16:32,909 --> 00:16:33,944
Hello.
274
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:37,572
Where did you get her?
275
00:16:37,872 --> 00:16:40,034
She's a rescue.
276
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:42,950
Found her in a bombed-out
apartment in Afghanistan.
277
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:44,746
"Ghwarri"?
278
00:16:45,046 --> 00:16:49,756
It's Pashto. It means
something like "fatso,"
279
00:16:50,051 --> 00:16:54,340
even though she was practically
starving when I found her.
280
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:57,968
What's this?
281
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:00,642
It's a medallion from my unit.
282
00:17:05,066 --> 00:17:06,977
Why did you want to see me?
283
00:17:08,903 --> 00:17:09,859
I was...
284
00:17:11,614 --> 00:17:13,480
I was thinking about
something you said.
285
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:15,106
What's that?
286
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:18,485
You came home
a week before Halloween.
287
00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:21,112
Yeah? So?
288
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:30,165
I read an article saying that that
week three employees of High Star died.
289
00:17:32,260 --> 00:17:36,845
Jay Rayburn, Robert Franks,
and Thomas Lowry.
290
00:17:37,139 --> 00:17:38,220
Did you work with any of them?
291
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:42,725
Rayburn, Franks and who?
292
00:17:43,271 --> 00:17:44,636
Thomas Lowry.
293
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,352
No. I don't know them.
294
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:52,269
High Star has thousands of men
on the ground over there.
295
00:17:52,863 --> 00:17:55,025
In this article, Thomas
Lowry's widow thinks that
296
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:57,907
High Star violated the terms
of her husband's contract.
297
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:00,238
So I was wondering,
would you mind
298
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,370
if I took a look
at your contract?
299
00:18:02,665 --> 00:18:05,248
I don't mind, but I
don't have my contract.
300
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,872
I don't keep shit like that.
301
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:15,216
Hey, it's Jerry Boorman.
Real good. How about you?

00:18:20,808 --> 00:18:22,719
No, I can't help you there.

need her phone tapped.

about High Star any more.
311
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:52,079
But will you at
least talk to me?
312
00:18:52,882 --> 00:18:54,247
If you've been
through something...
313
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:55,915
There's nothing
I want to talk about.

I went to trauma counseling.
I didn't want to go.

I didn't think I needed it, I
thought I could handle it by myself.

But the truth is, I couldn't.

Talking to someone

could lay out Optimus Prime.

to change my vote.
358
00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:54,010

show was that up at the hearing?
359
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:55,428
I'm sorry.
360

My constituents have
turned against this war.
361
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:01,104
And they don't want to see
me rolling over for a guy like you.
362
00:22:02,363 --> 00:22:04,980
In the past, I was always
able to count on your support.
363

Look, Afghanistan is the
longest war in US history.

I am not your problem. Even
if I vote to renew, you still lose.
367
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,628
It's Congressman Shipley that's
calling the shots in that committee.
368
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:23,961
He's got all the votes
against you lined up.
369
00:22:24,885 --> 00:22:26,967
Can you get me
a meeting with Shipley?
370
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:30,255
No. Shipley doesn't want
to be caught dead with you.
371
00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:34,017
That's why I need you
and your Rocky Mountain charm.

I'm sure he owes
you a favor or two.

All I want is a
conversation with the man.

to do the cake and presents?

I got a cake. Catherine wanted
to stay up and celebrate with you.

you made it very clear

00:28:11,148 --> 00:28:14,186
that I had discretion over
Catherine's diet, and...
437

But you're careless.

it up or even that I should, but...

with Patty Hewes, right?

From time to time.

00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:04,399

heard the partners talking about Patty,
448
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:06,066
and, well, they're not all fans.
449
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:11,113

create some waves if they knew.

Thanks for looking out for me.
451
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:20,422

that you still see her.

didn't get along.

got in touch with me again.

00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:52,371

could be useful to me.

The kid can't eat garlic.
Can you make it without?
528
00:33:58,078 --> 00:33:59,443
Yes, yes, of course. No problem.
529
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:01,111
You're all set. No garlic.
530
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,246
Thank you.
531
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:07,117
You grew up in
the North didn't you?
532
00:34:07,420 --> 00:34:11,709
Egypt, yes.
You have a very good ear.
533
00:34:12,133 --> 00:34:15,797
Congratulations, by the way.
I'm happy for your people.
534
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:19,430
Yes, yes. It's wonderful.

ELLEN: Patty,
I just left my office.
539
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:31,683
Are we still on for coffee?
540
00:34:32,445 --> 00:34:33,651
PATTY: Yes, I'm looking
forward to seeing you.
541
00:34:34,823 --> 00:34:36,109
Okay, great. See you there.
542
00:34:37,033 --> 00:34:37,989
PATTY: Thanks
for calling, Ellen.
543
00:34:38,994 --> 00:34:40,234
See you soon.
544
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:45,827
What do you know about Howard
Erickson and High Star Security?
545
00:34:47,168 --> 00:34:48,124
High Star?
546
00:34:48,670 --> 00:34:49,956
Yeah.
547
00:34:50,839 --> 00:34:52,250
Be careful, Ellen.
548
00:34:54,009 --> 00:34:55,841
You didn't answer my question.
549
00:34:56,511 --> 00:34:59,253
High Star's a very
dangerous target.
550
00:34:59,556 --> 00:35:01,513
Dozens of lawyers have tried
to build a case against them,
551
00:35:01,808 --> 00:35:02,639
and it's never worked.
552
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:04,424
It's a company that's protected.
553
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:07,427
That's what interests me.
554
00:35:11,234 --> 00:35:13,441
You've been working for Nye
and Everett for two and a half years.
555
00:35:13,737 --> 00:35:15,444
Are you bored?
556
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:19,945
I want to try cases that matter to
me and I want to try them my way.
557
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:26,155
Sounds like you're thinking
about going out on your own.
558
00:35:29,544 --> 00:35:32,457
All the more reason
to stay away from High Star.
559
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:40,924
If you want to build a name
for yourself, start your own firm,
560
00:35:41,222 --> 00:35:43,839
you need to find
a case that you can win.
561
00:35:44,768 --> 00:35:49,433
I have a friend who I went to high
school with who worked for High Star.
562
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:52,101
He may know some things.
563
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:56,647
I'm worried about
getting him involved.
564
00:35:57,781 --> 00:35:59,317
You should be.
565
00:36:01,409 --> 00:36:05,994
You know, you talk about
wanting to do it your way,
566
00:36:06,289 --> 00:36:09,122
but there's only one way
to try a case, Ellen.
567
00:36:09,417 --> 00:36:11,374
Whatever way
allows you to win it.
568
00:36:15,215 --> 00:36:18,674
But if you also
want to have a life,
569
00:36:20,136 --> 00:36:25,347
or balance or a family,
or protect your friend...
570
00:36:34,984 --> 00:36:37,692
You know, I never answered
your question three years ago.
571
00:36:37,987 --> 00:36:39,193
What question?
572
00:36:39,906 --> 00:36:43,695
Right after Tom died, we were
out at the beach house,
573
00:36:45,578 --> 00:36:47,865
you asked me
if it was all worth it.
574
00:36:49,124 --> 00:36:50,080
And?
575
00:36:51,167 --> 00:36:52,532
If you have to ask the question,
576
00:36:52,836 --> 00:36:55,373
you already have your answer.
577
00:37:00,093 --> 00:37:01,879
Stay away from High Star.
578
00:38:10,205 --> 00:38:11,616
Good evening, Maggie.
Hi, Ms. Hewes.
579
00:38:11,915 --> 00:38:13,781
I want you to get me
everything you can find
580
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:17,292
on Howard Erickson and the
High Star Security Corporation.
581
00:38:17,587 --> 00:38:18,452
Right away, Ms. Hewes.
582
00:38:18,755 --> 00:38:21,622
Sorry to take you away from
your home on family movie night.
583
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:23,086
I could have just told
you this on the phone.
584
00:38:23,384 --> 00:38:26,467
It's the one where they meet the
mummy, I've seen it a hundred times.
585
00:38:26,763 --> 00:38:30,347
Besides, I'd rather talk
about this at the office.
586
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:34,642
You said you met with Sanchez.
587
00:38:34,938 --> 00:38:35,803
Yes, sir.
588
00:38:36,356 --> 00:38:38,472
After the last operation...
589
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:42,817
He's in bad shape.
590
00:38:43,112 --> 00:38:44,602
He's having a hard
time readjusting.
591
00:38:45,573 --> 00:38:46,483
How wobbly is he?
592
00:38:48,076 --> 00:38:49,532
It's hard to say, sir.
593
00:38:51,287 --> 00:38:52,277
He asked for help.
594
00:38:52,747 --> 00:38:53,828
He turned down the promotion.
595
00:38:54,123 --> 00:38:55,659
I think his state of
mind is partly why.
596
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:58,325
Are you concerned about
his level of commitment?
597
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,456
Are you sure?
598
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:01,870
You're the one
who recruited him.
599
00:39:02,298 --> 00:39:04,790
He's stand-up.
It's not an issue.
600
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:08,673
But I think he should be
evaluated professionally.
601
00:39:09,097 --> 00:39:11,885
All right, then,
give him Dr Barrera's info.
602
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:13,890
He's the best
headshrinker we have.
603
00:39:20,942 --> 00:39:24,355
Here, I want you to have
one of these for your tree, AC.
604
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:28,029
Happy holidays.
605
00:39:28,616 --> 00:39:29,572
Thank you, sir.
606
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,194
Any word from
Congresswoman Chase
607
00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:34,702
on getting the meeting set up
with the swing vote?
608
00:39:35,331 --> 00:39:37,413
Will Shipley meet with you
about renewing your contracts?
609
00:39:37,709 --> 00:39:40,997
She's doing everything she
can. We just gotta have faith.
610
00:39:41,296 --> 00:39:42,912
Objection. He's already
answered the question.
611
00:39:43,214 --> 00:39:46,047
When you bring a new
drug to market, Mr. Coupet,
612
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:48,674
does your company
always conduct clinical trials?

00:39:51,681 --> 00:39:52,716
Excuse me.
616
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:56,884
Yes, we conduct clinical
trials for every drug we develop.
617
00:39:57,186 --> 00:39:59,223
Mr. Coupet,
did you personally oversee
618
00:39:59,522 --> 00:40:02,059
the development of
a vaccine called Tranzec?
619
00:40:02,358 --> 00:40:03,894
Objection.
620
00:40:04,193 --> 00:40:06,560
Mr. Coupet is neither a
scientist nor a physician.
621
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:09,112
As CEO,
did you ever have occasion
622
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:12,069
to hear the term
"adverse event"?
623
00:40:12,493 --> 00:40:13,449
Yes.
624
00:40:14,621 --> 00:40:16,077
In your industry, Mr. Coupet,
625
00:40:16,372 --> 00:40:20,115
what is meant by an adverse
event in the testing of a new drug?
626
00:40:21,002 --> 00:40:26,793
It can mean many things.
Rashes, fevers, many things.
627
00:40:27,342 --> 00:40:29,379
In some cases,
can it mean death?
628
00:40:31,054 --> 00:40:33,421
This is very rare, but yes.
629
00:40:33,848 --> 00:40:37,842
More specifically,
an adverse event can mean
630
00:40:38,144 --> 00:40:41,728
that a subject in a clinical
trial has died. Is that correct?
631
00:40:42,231 --> 00:40:45,098
Objection, he's already
answered the question.
632
00:40:45,401 --> 00:40:47,813
I want it on the record.
Is that correct, Mr. Coupet?
633
00:40:48,112 --> 00:40:49,102
Objection.
634
00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:50,611
To what? To her.
635
00:40:51,866 --> 00:40:53,106
I mean,
whose fucking kid is this?
636
00:40:55,703 --> 00:40:56,568
Maggie?
637
00:40:56,871 --> 00:40:57,952
Whose fucking kid is this?

PATTY: Maggie!
639
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:07,504
So, have you ever talked
to a therapist before, Chris?
640
00:41:09,092 --> 00:41:10,127
No, sir.
641
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:12,338
You don't have to
"sir'" me in here, Chris.
642
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:14,464
You're a lieutenant.
643

Oh, that's just the radiator.
646
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:30,936
I'm not much of a talker.
647
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:38,618
I lost some of my unit.
648
00:41:40,748 --> 00:41:41,988
How's that affecting you?
649
00:41:42,875 --> 00:41:44,331
A lot of dreams.
650
00:41:49,257 --> 00:41:52,340
Problems with jobs, with...
651
00:41:54,137 --> 00:41:55,719
Friends.
652
00:41:56,973 --> 00:42:00,011
If you said I was having a
total fucking nervous breakdown,
653
00:42:00,309 --> 00:42:01,720
I wouldn't argue.
654
00:42:02,645 --> 00:42:04,852
All of the things
that you're feeling,
655
00:42:06,274 --> 00:42:11,394
the rage, depression,
grief, the guilt,
656
00:42:13,322 --> 00:42:14,562
that's normal.
657
00:42:15,992 --> 00:42:18,199
What's abnormal was
the situation you were in.
658
00:42:19,412 --> 00:42:22,200
The trauma, the death in war.
659
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,712
You're having a normal response
to a horribly abnormal situation.
660
00:42:30,298 --> 00:42:31,208
I don't know about that.
661
00:42:31,507 --> 00:42:33,589
You're feeling helpless.
662
00:42:33,885 --> 00:42:35,751
But we can't go back
and affect your memories
663
00:42:36,054 --> 00:42:38,921
unless you start
talking about those events.
664
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:41,635
(CLANGING)
665
00:42:47,148 --> 00:42:48,388
Now, perhaps you can
tell me a little bit
666
00:42:48,691 --> 00:42:51,524
about your experiences
in those last few weeks.
667
00:42:57,867 --> 00:42:59,232
I led a unit...
668
00:43:10,004 --> 00:43:12,962
...for a mission we should
have never been on.
669
00:43:14,008 --> 00:43:15,089
(GUNFIRE)
670
00:43:24,894 --> 00:43:28,057
I mean, the whole fucking
operation was illegal.
671
00:43:31,859 --> 00:43:33,099
Go on.
672
00:43:38,866 --> 00:43:40,607
If Sanchez is mentally unstable,
673
00:43:40,910 --> 00:43:42,776
all the more reason
to be concerned.
674
00:43:43,329 --> 00:43:44,945
That's why I sent him
to a psychiatrist.
675
00:43:45,248 --> 00:43:48,240
It's that shrink's job to
get the truth out of the boy,
676
00:43:48,543 --> 00:43:51,126
and the truth just
isn't our friend, Howard.
677
00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:53,286
There's
patient-doctor privilege.
678
00:43:55,258 --> 00:43:58,046
Not good enough.
I'll take care of Sanchez.
679
00:43:58,594 --> 00:43:59,709
Fuck you, Jerry!

(CLATTERING)
681
00:44:02,807 --> 00:44:04,718
You don't go near
my men. You hear me?
682
00:44:05,309 --> 00:44:06,720
Let's be clear.
683
00:44:07,019 --> 00:44:10,387
If anyone finds out about
that last mission, I'm fucked.
684
00:44:10,690 --> 00:44:11,646
And you're out of work.
685
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:14,357
That incident is
all buttoned up.
686
00:44:15,319 --> 00:44:19,404
Then how come Chris Sanchez
is chatting up an attorney?
687
00:44:19,699 --> 00:44:20,985
You're worried about a lawsuit?
688
00:44:21,284 --> 00:44:22,649
I know how to handle lawsuits.
689
00:44:22,952 --> 00:44:24,909
I'm worried about what
comes out in lawsuits.
690
00:44:25,204 --> 00:44:28,037
I'm worried about what
stories Sanchez might tell.
691
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:32,079
So we're going to
proceed as I see fit.
692
00:44:32,628 --> 00:44:34,995
No. You're going
to consult me first.
693
00:44:35,298 --> 00:44:37,380
Congress is turning
against you, Howard.
694
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:39,382
You know that.
695
00:44:39,677 --> 00:44:41,418
I'm your lifeline.
696
00:44:41,721 --> 00:44:44,713
I'm the only one who can get
your government contracts renewed.
697

Put the fucking shoe down!

You don't go near
Sanchez, understood?

I'm sorry
the little guy fell asleep.

I was hoping these two

711

They all were incompetent.

worry about nannies.

Your son just disappears.
731
00:46:33,082 --> 00:46:34,698
You're telling me that you
don't want to know where he is?
732
00:46:35,001 --> 00:46:35,991
I tried to reach him
in the beginning.
733
00:46:36,294 --> 00:46:38,581
He made it very clear that
he doesn't want me in his life.
734
00:46:38,879 --> 00:46:40,711
Patty, you gotta find him,
bring him home.

for his behavior.

Michael had a chance to be a

ELLEN: I'm here,
Mrs. Lowry, because
739
00:47:11,662 --> 00:47:15,030
I believe that High Star may be covering
up the truth about your husband's death.
740
00:47:16,876 --> 00:47:17,866
What do you mean?
741
00:47:18,461 --> 00:47:20,043
Do you know anything
about the mission
742
00:47:20,338 --> 00:47:22,750
your husband was on in
October, when he was killed?
743
00:47:23,632 --> 00:47:25,373
Not much.
744
00:47:25,676 --> 00:47:28,134
Tommy was with
High Star since 2005.
745
00:47:28,429 --> 00:47:29,635
But I guess it was
about a year ago
746
00:47:29,930 --> 00:47:32,547
that they tapped him
for some new unit.
747
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:33,760
All I know is that
the pay was better,
748
00:47:34,060 --> 00:47:36,552
but the assignment
made him real nervous.
749
00:47:37,021 --> 00:47:39,388
And what was the explanation
they gave you for their deaths?
750
00:47:40,274 --> 00:47:44,063
The company was so vague.
"An ambush," they said.
751
00:47:45,112 --> 00:47:48,400
Did your husband ever talk
about the men that he worked with?
752
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:52,734
Yeah, nonstop. I mean, I
heard all kinds of stories.
753
00:47:53,662 --> 00:47:55,073
You want to see a picture?
Yes, please.
754

That would be great.
755
00:48:01,253 --> 00:48:02,243
This is his unit.
756
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:05,834
Look at them, just smiling.
757
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:09,292
That's Tommy on the left.
758
00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:14,301
And you got Jay Rayburn here.
759
00:48:16,727 --> 00:48:17,592
Jay could sometimes be a dick,
760
00:48:17,895 --> 00:48:18,930
but he made Tommy laugh.
761
00:48:20,022 --> 00:48:21,604
And the real tall one,
that's Bob Franks.
762
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:26,226
Franko and Jay-Ray both passed
same day as Tommy.
763
00:48:26,529 --> 00:48:28,395

765
00:48:35,538 --> 00:48:37,279
That's Chris Sanchez.

You know how some guys
are just naturally built to lead?
767
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:42,625
Tommy said that was Sancho.
768
00:48:45,965 --> 00:48:47,330
Your husband knew him well?
769
00:48:47,633 --> 00:48:49,123
Tommy loved him.
770
00:48:49,427 --> 00:48:51,134

do anything for Sancho.
