[seagulls calling]

WOMAN:
I hope you're all enjoying the
view here at Withrow Midtown.

Andrew Withrow, my big boss,
has built over 30 buildings,

all cutting edge design.

But he also loves
the history of our city,

and tries to incorporate
elements from that

as well as his own
humble beginnings.

Like these skybridges,

which have been around
since the 19th century.

Andrew Withrow
actually put a skybridge

in the sky,
59 stories up.

You'll notice that the skybridge
is being suspended by...

[indistinct shouting]

[metal snapping, rumbling]

[all screaming]

[screaming and crying]

Billionaire developer
Andrew Withrow

formally charged 15 counts
of manslaughter.

The structure collapse
last October...

Eight seconds on the clock,

fourth down
and it's all tied up.

It call comes
down to this.

Just flick it already.

[grunts]

[laughs]

And he scores.

With authority.

This game is an insult
to football.

Maybe the way you play it.

MARISSA: An assistant
U.S. attorney

wants to talk with us.

Says he's in danger
of losing a case.

Thank God.

Careful, he's bored.

You know that was fun.

What if I said that you could
help put the most powerful

New York real estate
developer in jail?

Andrew Withrow.

Andrew Withrow
owns this building.

Is that how you know him?

Never met him.

But...

We were at a charity
auction a few years ago

both bidding on
the same item,

the flight log from
Charles Lindbergh's

first trans-Atlantic
crossing.

Withrow outbid you.Seven times.

At a certain point I just
wanted to see how high he'd go.

And he won.

But the next day,

he sent me the flight log with
a very nice handwritten note

saying he didn't
want it after all.

And that's bad.

It's just telling.

Needing to beat
someone that much.

Wanting to wield
power over someone.

WITHROW:
People call it micro-managing.

I call it managing.

I mean, if-if I'm gonna
put my name on it,

I need to know
it was done right.

I'm a builder
and the brick stops here.

And I came up
with the bad pun myself.

He's charming.
Very.

I know.Is that why you think

you're in danger
of losing your case

against him?

My boss thinks that.

Withrow has billions,

and he's gonna spend every
last dollar to make sure

that he beats
a manslaughter conviction.

MARISSA: Manslaughter,
so you'll need to prove

Withrow was criminally negligent
in building that skybridge.

I've got it.

I have design documents.

There was an engineering flaw
and he signed off on it.

The billionaire scrimped
on his flagship building

to save a few bucks?

It wasn't just money.

It was time.

A tenant who leased 19 floors
threatened to walk.

To delay would have cost
tens of millions,

and the magnesium composite
wasn't ready in time.

15 people died
because he was in a hurry.

I'm going to nail him
with his own signature.

BULL:
Maybe, with the right jury.

Let's talk through
your voir dire process.

Voir dire?
That was yesterday.

What?
It's okay.

We already empaneled a jury.

Oh.

Well, let's talk
about your suit.

Chunk.

The jury selection
is 90% of the ballgame.

Deselection, actually.

Technically you
can't select a juror,

only deselect the
ones you don't like.

Hey. Benny Colón.
In-house counsel.

Benny Colón, sure.

Have we met?
No.

No, not in person.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Olsen.

BULL:
All right.

Let's look at the bad news,
shall we?

Seven jurors are firmly
against us.

Seven.

Well, they haven't heard
my opening argument.

That's why jury selection
is so important.

Our jurors have a lot different
perspectives on this case.

Take Jeremy,
he has severe dyslexia.

Avoids reading
whenever he can,

which means that he won't assume
that just because

Withrow signed a document,
he'd actually read it.

And this is Bryan.

He is so pro-Withrow
that Withrow could drown

a litter of puppies and he would
still find reasonable doubt.

I picked him because he
supported Occupy Wall Street.

He hates suits.

Mid-level managers,
bureaucrats like...

You.

But he admires
billionaires.

We have to find a
narrative that appeals

to both Jeremy and Bryan.

They both like that Withrow
is a self-made man.

When he came to New York
he had nothing.

They see his humble roots
as evidence

of hard work and authenticity.

BULL:
The accent

gives him credibility
and about 20% more charm.

Another things they like
about him, ironically,

he is seen as someone
who takes responsibility.

Wait a second.

That interview.

The brick stops here.

That's our narrative,
taking responsibility.

Because Withrow's brand is
being involved at every step,

so we argue he must have read
the design documents.

Okay, Marissa,
keep digging.

Let's exhume every
one of those jurors.

Time to meet the
man of the hour.

JUDGE LEVY:
You're testing the bounds

of my five minute rule, counsel.

Where's your client?

Her heart?

Call me when you hear.

Uh...

Judge Levy, I'm sorry.

My mother was just taken
to Sacred Heart Hospital.

Uh, Your Honor, we respectfully
ask to deal opening statements.

Just a day or so.

She's 82, Your Honor.

We're adjourned for 48 hours.

Thank you.

[gavel bangs][indistinct conversation]

Hmm.

Mr. Withrow.

I have to tell
you I'm working

with the U.S. Attorney's
office on this case.

Nice to meet you,
Mr...

Dr. Jason Bull.

How's your mother?

I hope she's all right.

It's hard.

Especially after this whole
tragedy with the skybridge.

Thank you.

What was that?

Andrew Withrow's sorrow
about the skybridge deaths

was a fraction slow.

The emotion showed on
his face a second late.

So?

Explains a lot.

Have Danny look
into Sacred Heart.

That's where
Withrow's mother is.

♪

Okay, yeah.

Thanks, Danny.

So two days ago
Withrow's mother was admitted

to Sacred Heart Hospital
in the morning,

and released
two hours later.
Hmm.

He stalled because the U.S.
Attorney's office brought me in,

but what's his move?

Hey, there, Dr. Bull.

You miss me?

[laughs]

Why, Diana Lindsay.

What happened to your lovely
Southern accent?

Left it in Texas.

I didn't know you did
criminal law.

Oh, come on, Jason.
You should know by now,

I am full of surprises.

I hate surprises.

BAILIFF:
All rise.

Good morning, Your Honor.

I'm pleased to introduce

my excellent new representation,

the woman who will
prove my innocence,

Diana Lindsay, Esquire.

LEVY: No need for the formal
presentation, Mr. Withrow.

This isn't a beauty pageant.

I assure you, Judge Levy,
I have never been

in a beauty pageant,
and a courtroom

is no place for pageantry.

LEVY:
Good to hear.

Now let's get to work.

Opening statements, Mr. Olsen.

[clears throat]

OLSEN:
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

I'm Assistant U.S. Attorney
Dennis Olsen.

I'm here to talk about

the tragic deaths...[whispering]:
I like your shoes.

DIANA:
That's a tough jury in there.

Good opening statement.

Thank you.

And your guy, Olsen,
he's a bit stiff.

It was smart of the U.S.
Attorney to bring you on.

Almost as smart as Withrow
bringing you on.

He did his homework on you.

You, too.

Don't flatter yourself.Oh, yeah.

You're right.

You don't like me at all.

Well, I'm still gonna
have to beat you... again.

Okay.

New York City
isn't Callisto, Texas.

You're on my turf this time.

Funny. I thought it
was Withrow's turf.

He owns your building,
too, I understand.

I do love your overconfidence.Mmm.

You know you're representing
a sociopath?

Hey, how's your mother?

Uh, Dr. Bull, right?

Yeah.
Yeah, she's much
better, thanks.

I'm glad to hear that.

Diana.

It's always a pleasure.

Oh, you two
know each other.

[phone buzzes]

I'll let you take that.

Yeah.

Bull, we were in the middle

of uploading the data
of our mirror jury,

when the power went out.

We are stone cold dark here.

BULL:
First day of trial.

What a coincidence.

And Withrow owns our building.

Come on, let's go.

BULL:
So, the first move
goes to Withrow.

Now it's my turn.

♪

Still no luck
getting the power on.

You really think
Andrew Withrow,

the richest developer
in this city is a sociopath?

Oh, yeah.

Most people think of heartless
killers when they hear the term,

but 95% of sociopaths

are highly successful
in all kinds of careers.

Lack of empathy
allows them to excel.

But he seemed affected
when he was talking

about the building collapse.

Withrow learned
to mimic emotion.

When I asked him about the
deaths in his building,

his micro expressions--

the slight wincing
of his eye muscles,

the convex furrow
of his left brow,

and the f-f-forced
micro stutter,

they all came a hair late,

and not in perfect unison.

It was mimicry, not sympathy.

It was a good tactic,

bringing in Diana.

[chuckling]

What?

Nobody said anything

about Diana's
bewitching effect on you.

I certainly didn't.

[laughing]

Cable, what's going on
with my generator?

Hey, we're working
on it. Foley?

I pulled a favor,
because people like me,

and a backup generator will be
here tomorrow afternoon-ish.

We need the power on
today, Foley.

And I need to lose ten pounds,

Dr. Bull, but not today.

It's a good thing
people like you.

All right,
we'll work at my place.

Your apartment?

Yes.

[elevator bell dings]

Pretty sparsely furnished.

What's below minimalist?

BULL:
Anyone want bagels?

You can set up
in the living room.

Withrow can't stop TAC.

Chunk, check it out.

I got a new plant.

Behind you.

Yeah, really ties the place
together.

Thanks, man.

How are you gonna
deal with Withrow?

Diana's never gonna
put him on the stand.

That would be
a bad move.

What even is her strategy?

Find a large bus, throw a
Withrow employee underneath it,

and then your problem is solved.

Blame an underling.
Got it.

Um, the project manager is
the most likely road kill.

Sean Laheri.
BULL:
All right. Let's see

if someone with a personality
can get through to him.

I'm texting Danny now.

And, Chunk, our attorney,

Olsen, reads pretty bland.

See if you can sharpen him up.

I'll put the
sexy in skybridge.

And where are you going?

Turn the power back on.

So where does that leave us?

How long till we've got
to get back in there?

Hmm. Five, ten minutes?

BULL: Andrew, you know,
it's the oddest thing.

I am a tenant
in one of your buildings.

Really? I hope
you're enjoying it.

Well, I was,

until the power went out,
and that was strange.

You haven't heard anything
about it, have you?

Sorry.

I own over 60 buildings
in New York.

My people don't always
share the details.

Hmm, I thought you were
more of a hands-on guy.

Must be a common misperception.

No, no,
I'll get to the bottom of this.

Thank you for bringing it
to my attention.

Sure.
Yeah.

So, what's his tell?
Well, you got him

to lie to you so you
could read his tell.

I just want my power back on.

Withrow doesn't have
a tell, does he?

What do you think
that means?

He's telling the truth?

Or he's a sociopath.

[laughs]

You would say or do
anything to win this trial.

So would you.

Uh.

Let the games begin.

Is it me, or does the
gallery look a little empty?

Hmm. Almost
as if it's missing...

the 12 mirror jurors.

How much did it cost
to buy them off?

Well, I wouldn't know.

Oh, but the price of
12-person luxury bus

to Atlantic City--
now that I might know.

OLSEN: As a civil engineer
with 20 plus

years of experience,
can you please explain

to the court
what went wrong

with the skybridge
at Withrow Midtown?

When this first support failed,

the load that it was bearing

was passed on
to the neighboring supports,

and it's called
the "Zipper Effect."

And like a zipper unzipping,

as each one overloaded,

it cascaded down.

OLSEN: And why did
that first support fail?

VINSON:
Cheaper construction

materials allowed the support
to wear away with time.

Who authorized the use
of cheaper materials?

Mr. Withrow.

He personally signed off
on all designs and materials.

OLSEN:
Nothing further.

[gallery murmuring]

You don't get
to be as powerful as Withrow

without breaking the rules.

DIANA: Prosecution says
that Mr. Withrow

knowingly and willfully

allowed a design flaw

just because his signature
was on a document.

Your Honor, I would like
to submit into evidence

one month of signatures
in Andrew Withrow's world.

DIANA:
Is it possible

that the size of Mr. Withrow's
company would create the need

for him to rely
on his employees?

He couldn't possibly
keep track

of all of these
documents himself, so,

he delegated.

Perhaps to his project manager,
Sean Laheri.

I really don't know...

That's outside the scope
of my expertise.

I see why Withrow brought
the defense attorney in.

She's hot.

OLSEN:
We move to strike

Juror Number Seven.

We found a Reddit thread
where he bragged

about smoking marijuana
every day before court.

DIANA:
Your Honor, this is clearly

a move by their jury
consultant to change the jury.

Let's hear
from Juror Number Seven.

Bryan?

Smoking? Me?

Here?

Reddit. That's, um...

That's the, uh...

Uh, what was the question?

[sighs]
Motion to strike granted.

[whispering]:
It's time we got it back on.

The power in TAC.

Beg your pardon, Your Honor,

but before we continue,
we must move to strike

Juror Number Three.

She was overheard

calling Mr. Withrow names.

Marissa?

Indra Pratt, 22,
elementary school teacher.

She's one of ours, Bull.

But her replacement would be
Keith Forrester,

42, plumber,
grew up in Ridgewood.

Withrow recently built

a youth center there to, quote,
"Keep kids on the right path."

Boy, Keith loves Withrow.

Back to chambers.

Did I say
Andrew Withrow was heartless?

No. I said
that he had a heart of gold.

18 karat gold

that he skimmed from
one of his buildings.

Motion to strike granted.

Your Honor, we've found
that Juror Number Six

has been leaking information
to the press.

Oh, come on.

BULL: Oh, my. Is that Juror
Number Six talking to Misty Marx

from the Ledger?

Motion granted.

Now if that's all--
and it better be--

we can resume the trial?

Thank you, Your Honor.

I'll get Withrow
to restore your power.

Can he do it personally?

I know how he loves
to be hands-on.
[scoffs]

You know, the second alternate,
Keith Forrester--

he's going to win
this trial for me.

And you thinking that is
gonna win the trial for me.

So where is this going?

The trial?

Us.

How about dinner?

[whispers]:
Drinks at your place.

Better.

Sean? Sean, hi.
I'm Danny.

I'm investigating the skybridge
collapse at Withrow Midtown.

I already told the U.S. Attorney
everything I know.

Well, there's something
you should know.

Withrow is planning

on bringing this whole thing
down on you in court. Hey.

Sean, that's 15 counts
of manslaughter.

You knew about
the design flaw, didn't you?

You're too good at your job.
You had to know.

If I testify,
it's suicide for my career.

Yeah, but if you don't,
you could end up in jail.

He protects his people.

Yeah? Like he protected
those people on the bridge?

You can make this right.

BULL:
If that building
were invisible,

you'd be able to see
the Empire State Building.Hmm.

And it's pronounced
"House-ton"Street,

not "Houston."

You can tell that
to Sam Houston.

You know, there's nothing
like a view

to give you
some perspective.

Hmm.

I like my small town, but...

this has its charms.

Well, you're a long
way from home, Dorothy.

Hmm. Bless your heart.

By, uh... by the
decorating you've done,

I'd say that you are, too.

Well, we both...

live in our work, don't we?Mm-hmm.

Well, Withrow seems
to think that, uh,

I should be working here.

Smart man.

You admire him.

Well, I suppose he is brilliant,
charming and powerful.

What's not to admire?

I'm old-fashioned.

I'm drawn to ambitious
and talented men.

Not all talented and ambitious
men are built the same.

[phone chimes]

[sighs]

I have to go.

No.

Stay.

It's tempting.

But it's work.

[sighs]

Bye, Jason.

Now you've gone too far.

CHUNK: Power's on.
But my key card

wouldn't work in the elevator.

22 flights of stairs.

Gets the blood flowing.

TAC is back.

Well, aren't you
the undaunted one today.

Good morning.

Um, did you sleep here
last night?

There's lots to do if we're
gonna bring down Withrow.

Well, we lost two jurors
to Diana's gag with the boxes,

but gained one back
when we went to the alternate.

Still, we are
in trouble, Bull.

Nine want to acquit Withrow.

We have to adjust our narrative.

WITHROW:
As a kid, I-I always dreamed

of moving to New York,

home of the greatest skyline
in the world.

And, uh, I remember thinking,

one day...All right.

See how his eyes don't move
when he smiles?

His actions are
completely disassociated

from his emotions.

It's not that Withrow's
responsible for a mistake.

Withrow made a cold,
calculated decision.

So if your assessment is
that Withrow is a sociopath,

he doesn't have the capacity

to feel for the victims.

The only risk he
considered was liability.

We can use that.

MARISSA:
He won't take the stand.

[chuckles]

We'll see.

[panting]

Easy.

Yeah?

Oh, yeah.

Ah.

Whew! Whew!

We're not getting
any younger, huh?

[laughs]Heck, no.

I've been meaning
to ask you something.

As long as it doesn't start with
"I left the file in my car."

No.

Go ahead.

Got a letter a
few weeks ago

from the U.S.
Attorney's Office.

They, uh...

they're opening up
an investigation on me.

Benny,

this is not a conversation
we can have.

Even if I knew
any details,

I can't disclose.

Yeah, yeah.You understand?

It's nothing personal.

Yeah.

All right.
[exhales]

Three more flights to go.

[phone buzzes]

Hello?

SEAN:
Ms. James?

Hi.

Mr. Laheri?

So, let's talk.

This past year,
my wife and I separated.

I've lost friends.

With what I saw, I feel
like a different person.

You saw the collapse?

Right after.

Their bodies
being taken away.

I need... pills

just to get to sleep,
you know?

Because you know something
about why it happened?

I inspected the bridge
a month before we opened.

I knew there was a problem.

I went to his office
and told him.

He promised me he would fix it.

But he didn't.

The day after
he was indicted, I...

I had five lawyers
in my office.

They gave me a $200,000 bonus
to shut up.

And I did.

You have to testify.

I don't want to relive it.

But, Sean, you already are.

Every day.

[indistinct chatter]

I see you got yourself
a new mirror jury.

How can you tell?

The watches kind of
gave it away.

Really?

Maybe there was a sale.

Would you like one?
We've got a million of 'em.

Not really my style.

Jason.
Andrew.

What a great day
for a conviction.

Well, you'll need more
than fancy screens

and algorithms to beat us.

[chuckles]:
Oh, I know.

BAILIFF:
All rise.

Your Honor,
the prosecution

would like to call Sean Laheri

to the stand.

OLSEN:
Mr. Laheri,

as project manager
at Withrow Midtown,

did you notice
any mistakes

with the construction
of the skybridge?

I did.
I walked through the designs

a few weeks before we
were slated to open

and noticed a flaw
in the supports.

And did you make Mr.
Withrow aware of this?

Yes.

On two separate occasions.

OLSEN:
I'm sorry,

would you mind repeating that?

Yes.

I talked to Mr. Withrow

on two separate occasions

about the risk
of changing materials

to make our deadline.

OLSEN:
Thank you, Mr. Laheri.He was paid off for this.

I-I know this takes
a lot of courage.

Now, can you tell us...

Your Honor, may I approach?

Withrow's looking for a plea.

Your Honor, we'd like
to request a continuance.

[grunts]

150 months.

Parole after 84.

Be reasonable.

My client is a developer,

not a hit man.

OLSEN:
Minimum security.

And if you don't like this
offer, we can go back to court,

let the jury decide
what the sentence is

for 15 deaths.

[sighs]: Okay,
minimum security. 60 months.

Parole after 36.

I will draw up the
waiver of rights.

We'll present it
to Judge Levy tomorrow.

This isn't over.

Not for at least
another five years.

DIANA:
What's wrong?

You won.

Diana.

[phone buzzing]

Um, I have to take this.

Work.

I get it.

Yes, Danny?

I'm at Sean Laheri's, Bull.

I need you over here.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Okay.

How we doing?

DANNY: Just left him
30 minutes ago.

Not good.

So, big surprise.

Withrow pulled
his plea deal.

We're going
back to court.

Sean left a suicide note.

He said he couldn't
live with himself.

The 15 lives.

I thought he was testifying
to alleviate his guilt.

I should have
seen this coming.

Was it his gun?

DANNY:
Yes.

What are you implying?

I don't know, I just
should've known

what Withrow was capable of.

You think Withrow
had him killed?

[sighs] It seems a little
too convenient, doesn't it?

ESU hasn't found any evidence
of forced entry, foul play,

witnesses, sounds of struggle.

The evidence is Sean.

Testifying was the hardest
thing he's ever done.

It was a source of
pride, not shame.

He didn't kill himself.

LEVY: As the defense
wasn't able to cross Mr. Laheri,

you're to disregard
his testimony.

Your Honor,
I beg you to reconsider.

We all heard what
Mr. Laheri said.

Now he's dead.

That's prejudicial
and irrelevant.

There is absolutely
no correlation

between the two of them.No correlation
between Sean's death

and Withrow, Really?Dr. Bull?

He committed suicide,
Your Honor.

Who knows why?

I think the defendant knows why.
Right, Withrow?

Dr. Bull, one more word
from you,

and you'll spend
the night in jail.

My apologies, sir.

Members of the jury,

you are not to question
Mr. Laheri's absence.

His testimony was removed
from the record.

It does not reflect
on the defendant.

You are also to disregard
any exchange between counsel

and Dr. Bull.

OLSEN:
We're screwed.

We're out of witnesses.

I have to rest our case.

Something Sean said
stuck with me.

He said he warned Withrow
in person.

You don't get an audience
with Withrow

and a visit
from five of his attorneys

without something in writing.

The FBI spent a year
scanning his e-mail chains.

Servers, deleted
files, everything.

But we haven't.

CEO's often write
to their colleagues in code,

so their e-mails
don't get flagged.

I've got my people
poring over his correspondence

looking for patterns,

and they're
gonna find something.

And when they do, we're
gonna nail that son of a bitch.

[elevator bell dings]

Thought you
could use this.

Way ahead of you.

[chuckles]

Rough day.

Oh.

Rough day for us.

I, uh,

brought you a revised
witness list for tomorrow.

Oh, well, thank you.

You're welcome.

Cheers.

Thank you.

It's a nice couch.

Andrew Withrow's
taking the stand.

Oh, don't act so surprised--
you goaded him into it.

Did I?

Well... by making him think

that the jury will connect
him to Laheri's death.

They will.

Andrew Withrow has a lot
of questionable qualities,

but he's not a murderer.

And who are you trying
to convince?

Don't be ridiculous.

You bring me the witness list
in person?

Come on, Diana.

Jason, Laheri
committed suicide.

He felt guilty about
the skybridge.

I wish I could tell you
everything's gonna be okay

and that your client
isn't a killer.

But I can't.

I wish I could.

For you.

♪

I'll see you in court.

Yeah.

[sighs]

Any new documents?

Still looking.

Look, Dennis,

I was out of line asking you
about the investigation.

But I hope that we
can put it behind us,

because I want to win this.

And I want you to win this

and not let anything else
stand in the way.

Withrow's gonna take the stand,
and we have a strategy.

He is a sociopath,
completely egocentric,

can't read others' signals, and
can't conceive he could fail.

There was a time...

when I was involved
in every detail.

But, uh, my company grew,
and at a certain point

it became too large.

So I had to begin

trusting people,
like my project manager,

Sean Laheri.

I wish he'd come to me
instead of brushing

this design flaw under the rug.

If he had,

those 15 poor people
would still be alive today.

BENNY: He'll throw the dead man
under the bus,

just in case anyone on the jury was listening to Sean.

So Diana will coach him in what
we call a "modified mea culpa,"

where Withrow admits
to something insignificant,

so the jury will think that
he's sincere about everything.

If there's a sin
I've committed here,

it's...

slightly exaggerating my role.

How do we get the jury
to see what he's really doing?Ha-ha!

Oh, he doesn't really believe
what he's saying.

Just keep pressing him.

He'll admit it.

OLSEN:
Either you accept

full responsibility

for every decision made
at Withrow Midtown,

or you were lying when you
said "the brick stops here."

Which is it?

Objection, Your Honor.

Overruled.

Let me try this again.

Did you know the materials used

might cause the skybridge
to collapse,

or is all this talk,
your brand,

built on a foundation of lies?

I didn't know...

about the skybridge problems.

Mr. Withrow, when you signed
those documents...

Asked and answered, Your Honor.

Move on, Mr. Olsen.

OLSEN:
No further questions.

We won a juror back--
we've now got eight on our side.

Withrow didn't crack.

Somehow he managed to
swallow his massive ego.

Diana prepped him well,
interrupted at the right time.

[sighs]:
Yes, she did.

Now we need
a new line of attack.

Dr. Bull.

What is it, Foley?

The, uh, elevator cards
are working.

Good. Did you fix it?

Not exactly.

So this is TAC.

Nice offices.

Thanks. We got
a good deal on them.

Hopefully, no one skimped
on the materials.

[chuckles]

You and your team
did good work.

Valuable work.Ah, thanks.

I like your shoes.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were
just exchanging compliments.

We both know
information's power.

Not common information,
but unique information.

Information no one else has.

You use it to win trials;
I use it to build buildings.

I see a synergy.

I have dozens
of legal cases pending, and...

[sighs heavily]

...I could use someone
like you, Dr. Bull.

[both chuckling]

We can start...

with a $10 million retainer.

That's interesting.

How'd you get
to that number?

Well, I looked
at your finances,

retainers,
what you need

to run TAC the way
you like to run it.

That is unique information.

People like to think life is...

intangible, that it...
transcends worth.

But I can put a number
to anyone.

My number is about finding out
what makes people tick,

and, uh...

now that I have it...

meeting's over.

[sighs]

What a waste.

Bye.

Cable, where are you?

Well, get in here.

I think I found
a new line of attack.

[laughs]
Hey, Bull!

I love it when you're right.

First time
for everything.

So, I noticed a pattern
in Withrow's in-box.

He frequently misspells
"accept."

It's common to confuse homonyms
when you use a dictation app.

Son and sun, by and bye,

except and accept.

Skip to the good part--
the part where I'm right.

Okay. So, the way
the app works is

you dictate your e-mail content,

that gets sent to a server farm,
which translates it into text

and sends it back.

So the server farm stores
your dictations

even if you delete them.

And if someone were

to hack into the server farm,
they might just find

that Withrow dictated
a series of messages to...

a Bridget Ingelhart.

Mm.

That's an actuarial sheet.

Oh, yeah. Well, Ms. Ingelhart
is an independent actuary.

I mean... they use code
in the e-mails,

but the PDF is clear as day.

She calculated the risk
of the skybridge falling.

MARISSA; These numbers
are how much Withrow

would have to pay victims
in a potential lawsuit.

He found everyone's number.

Why would Andrew Withrow
approve a flawed design

for the skybridge?

I mean, if there was a chance
that a disaster could happen,

even a small chance...

...why risk it?

Because time is money,

and it would have cost
tens of millions

to dismantle the bridge
and do it right.

So Andrew Withrow
calculated the odds.

What were the chances
of an accident,

and how much would it cost

if the unthinkable happened?

It's how he evaluates
human life.

Andrew Withrow wants to know
how much it will cost him

if he kills you.

Can you wrap your
head around that?

You don't have to.

Actuaries can.

It's called
risk assessment analysis,

and it's used to determine

the most cost-effective
course of action.

Mr. Withrow

gave everyone a number.

A number that determined

the value of their life.

As you can see, a doctor
is worth more than a dentist,

a dentist more
than a teacher,

a teacher more
than a commercial truck driver,

and a driver...

is worth more than a plumber.

Why risk it?

Because...

Andrew Withrow decided that it
would be more cost-effective

to lose those lives
than to fix

his faulty skybridge.

That's why 15 people died

at Withrow Midtown.

Thank you.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On 15 counts of manslaughter,
we find the defendant...

guilty.

[gallery gasps]

LEVY:
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

the court thanks you
for your service.

Marshal,

please place the defendant
in custody.

Mm-hmm.

Looks like we got your number.

[exhales]
Of course, I'll be appealing.

Of course.

Andrew, I'm afraid
I'm gonna have to withdraw

from your counsel.

I can't help you
moving forward.

[chuckles]:
You already have.

My grounds for appeal

is collusion
between my attorney

and the legal advisor
for the plaintiff.

I'm very disappointed
in both of you.

I told you he
was a sociopath.

Benny.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, hey.

[chuckles]
My pleasure.

And I mean that.

By the way, I...

I took a look into
that investigation.

Oh. Oh, you did?

Yeah, you didn't hear this from
me, but the U.S. Attorney's

looking into a murder case you
prosecuted eight years ago.

Hayden Watkins.

Hayden Watkins.

♪

[exhales]

Well, if we're gonna be accused
of it, we might as well do it.

[chuckles]

Drinks?

Dinner.

My place?

Better.
