All language subtitles for Law & Order s20e08 Doped.eg

In the criminal justice system,

The people are represented
by two separate

Yet equally important groups--

The police
who investigate crime

And the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Punch buggy red.
No punch back.

- Mom.

- You can't play that,
auntie brenda.

- Why?

Because I'm a big,
bad grown-up?

All: Yes.

- I invented
the punch buggy game.

- You did not.
- Ask auntie sandy.

She used to bring
a pillow in the car

To put between us
so I couldn't hit her.

[car horn blares]

- Mom, watch where you're going,
okay?

- Oh, I'm just having
a little fun, nicky.

Jeez.

Give me my spray out
of my purse, will you, honey?

- So where'd you take her?

- Apple picking.

- Oh, risky first date.
- No, it was all good, bro.

An we got some great "maccowns."

- Macouns.

- Mommy!

- Minivan entered the highway
off 14th street

Going the wrong way.

Witnesses say
it was going 60 minimum.

Hit this poor guy head on.

All three in the car
were d.O.A.

Two in the minivan.

Little kids.

- What about the driver
of the minivan?

- They rushed her
and two other kids

To st. Agnes'.

- Drove almost 20 blocks
on the wrong side.

Unbelievable.

- Hey.

I think I found
the culprit.

Grain alcohol.

151 proof.

- No taste.
Packs a wallop.

- Yeah, there's still
a few drops in the bottle.

This is why I take
the subway.

- My wife was taking the kids
to our place upstate

For the weekend.

She had our nieces with her.

Oh, god.

Oh, what am I gonna tell
sandy and bob?

- We're very sorry,
mr. Sawyer.

- Where was she coming from?

- Uh, she was coming
from work,

From woodmoor pharma.

Brenda's a sales manager.

She wasn't even supposed
to have the kids with her.

I was supposed to pick them up
from her sister's place,

But last minute I had
to stay late at the bank.

- So you called your wife.

- Yeah, around 4:45.

I told her
she'd have to pick the kids up,

And I'd come up later.

- How'd she sound?

- She sounded okay.

Um, you know,
she was still at work.

- We have to ask you this,
mr. Sawyer.

Did your wife drink?

- No. Maybe champagne
on special occasions.

But that's it.
Why?

- There was a bottle
of grain alcohol in the van.

Maybe it belonged
to you.

- No.
We're not drinkers.

What are you implying?
That my wife was drunk?

- Just routine questions,
mr. Sawyer.

- My wife was not drunk.

No damn way.

I have to go check
on my son.

- She has severe head trauma,

Massive internal injuries.

It's not hopeful.

- What did the tox screen say?

- Blood alcohol was .09.

- Any chance we'll be able
to talk

To the surviving kids
anytime soon?

- [sobs]

Oh, my god.

- Surviving kid.

The boy, nicky sawyer,
is being prepped for surgery.

The little girl,
sarah renquist,

Died ten minutes ago.

I just told her parents.

- Thanks.

- Hmm.
What do you think?

We go talk to them?

- Well, they can always say no.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Detective lupo.
This is detective bernard.

I'm very sorry
for your loss.

We'd like to ask you
a few questions if that's okay.

- Okay.

- We understand brenda sawyer

Picked her kids up
from your home.

- Yes.
Our kids too.

They were spending the weekend
at brenda and matt's place.

- You both saw miss sawyer?

- Just me.

She came by
just before 5:00.

- How did she seem?
- Fine.

She said she was gonna stop

And get the kids ice cream.

- Tell them about the call.

- Allie, my older one,

I gave her my cell phone

So she could keep in contact
with us over the weekend,

And she called a half hour
after they left,

And she said
that there was something wrong

With my sister, that she
wasn't making any sense

And she was driving
all over the road.

I told allie to tell brenda
to pull over,

And then I heard allie scream.

- She was drunk,
wasn't she?

- Bob, sandy,
I just heard about sara.

- Your drunk wife
killed our babies.

- No.
- She killed them!

- No. She wasn't drunk.
- Hey, mr. Renquist.

- Bob. I swear.
- Let's go.

- Bob!

- This is her turning
onto the west side highway

At 14th street, but instead of
going in the northbound lanes,

She turns north
into the southbound lane.

- Traffic was light.
She accelerated.

One caller to 911 has her going
through the intersection

At 22nd street at about 55.

- Did she make any attempt
to pull over?

- A.I.U. Says
not according to the witnesses

Or the 911 calls.

- The lady was smashed.

- That's a lot
of bad driving

For a .09 blood alcohol.

- I've seen people with a .06
who couldn't stand up.

- Look, the husband swears
his wife didn't drink.

- Yeah, not that he's ready
to admit anyway.

- Are you two done?

Miss sawyer's blood alcohol

Has already been leaked
to the media.

With six fatalities,
including three dead kids,

This lady ever makes it
out of the hospital,

People are gonna want
to string her up.

We're gonna nail this down

So there can be no doubt.

Find out what she drank,

Where she drank it,

And who saw her do it.

- We're still in total shock
over this.

Brenda was a strong member
of my sales team.

She had a beautiful family.

- How was she
when she left on Friday?

- Uh, she was good.

Happy to go home.

- And what time was that?
- Maybe 4:15, 4:30.

- You ever see her have a drink
at lunch

Or after hours?

- Maybe a glass of punch
at a christmas party.

- She ever talk
about drinking

Or being hung over?
- No.

Well...
- What is it, mr. Marshall?

- Well, when she left on Friday,

She said she was gonna be cooped
up with four kids all weekend.

She laughed and said she was
gonna need a stiff drink.

But I thought
she was kidding.

- How does she get
in that car

Stone-cold drunk?

And now her husband's saying

She didn't touch the stuff?

Well, you know
what that's about.

- Are you planning
to take legal action

Against matt sawyer?

- You're damn right I am.

I lost my wife...

My daughter,
her fiance.

- Leslie, can you please
turn that off?

- Sorry, mr. Marshall.

- Okay, everybody,
back to work, please.

- no secret stash.

No breath mints.

- You know, she told her sister
she was gonna take the kids

To get ice cream
before hitting the road.

- So maybe someplace between
her sister's and the highway.

- I remember her.
Two vanillas with jimmies,

Strawberry, and a pistachio.

- The paper cup she's sipping
from could be a juice

Or a soda she bought
for a mixer.

Did she seem intoxicated
to you?

- She was in a good mood.

I mean, she put five bucks
in the tip jar.

That's the lady that killed
all those people?

- Mm.

- Damn.
- She tossed her drink.

You still have that garbage?

- Put it out for sanitation
that night.

- Thanks.

- Between leaving work
and getting the kids,

She bought a bottle of booze
and a mixer.

- Maybe now we can get
the straight story

From the husband.

- I am telling you
for the last time.

My wife is not a drinker.

- We have the bottle
of grain alcohol

From the car.

We have her on video

Sipping
from a drink cup

15 minutes before the crash.

- I don't care
what it says.

Brenda would never do that.

Never.

- We know it's hard to admit,
mr. Sawyer,

But you could help
a lot of people.

They need to hear the truth

So they can move on.

- You don't think
I want to move on?

I've got in-laws
that hate my guts.

I can't leave the apartment

Because the papers
have turned me into a pariah.

My daughter is dead.

My wife and son...

And I've got a mother in there
who's dying of cancer.

I have known brenda
since high school.

We don't keep secrets
from each other.

Something is off here.
All right?

- My daughter-in-law
is aerric moth.

She would never put
my grandchildren in danger.

- It's all right, ma.

I'm begging you guys,

Find out what happened.

Please.

- We could show him pictures

Of his wife taking swigs

Of grain alcohol, and he still
wouldn't believe it.

- When you know somebody,
you know somebody.

[phone rings]

- Hello.

[cell phone rings]

Yeah, this is him.

What?

Oh, god!

Oh, god!

Oh, god.

- It's his wife.
She didn't make it.

- [sobs]

- One more look, okay?

- Her cell phone records
confirmed the call

From her husband
at 4:45.

- The one where he tells her
to get the kids.

- Yeah, then she got a call
ten minutes before the crash

From a cell phone
registered to her company.

The call lasted
less than a minute.

She was probably too wasted

By then to talk
to anybody.

- Nasal spray
for her allergies.

- You see alcohol
in the ingredients?

- No, but some of these allergy
medications make you drowsy.

I'm sending it to the lab.

- Contents of her g.I. Tract

Corroborate
the hospital tox screen.

Grain alcohol mixed
with orange juice, banana,

And coconut.

High-octane smoothie she drank
on an empty stomach.

- Could something she took
for allergies

Have interacted with that?

- Like what?
An antihistamine?

- There was an over-the-counter
nasal spray in her car.

- The mass spectrometer

Didn't detect anything
besides alcohol

That would account
for her behavior.

There's no big mystery here,
fellas.

This lady was hammered
on jungle juice.

- Thanks.

We've tried it
every other way.

It all comes back
to her being drunk.

- I'd feel a lot better
if we could find the store

That sold her the booze.

- Hey, sorry to crash
the party.

After you told me
about her allergies,

I took another look
at her nasal mucosa.

There was chronic inflammation.

So I checked
with the tox lab

About the nasal spray.

- Propofol?

An anesthetic, right?

- Yeah. Powerful one.

Also known as milk of amnesia.

Yeah, it's been in the news.

It would cause
immediate disorientation

And lack of control
if she sprayed it in her nose.

- And all tox screens
on brenda sawyer missed it?

- It dissipates in minutes.

It wouldn't be detected.

- So somebody spiked
her nasal spray with this stuff?

- Without a doubt.

- Well, when you're right,
you're right.

- The lot number
on the nasal spray

Traces to a pharmacy
on 23rd street.

- Well, alert
the health department.

They'll need to pull
all the sprays

From that store
and have them tested.

- Another tylenol scare.

Great.
- Just covering the bases.

- Hey, how about this base?

Guess who's one of four
companies that make propofol?

Woodmoor pharma.

- The company brenda sawyer
worked for.

- Well, that opens up
a whole new world of suspects.

Maybe someone there

Had a beef with ms. Sawyer.

Talk to her husband.

- So it wasn't her fault.

- Let's take one thing
at a time.

- But you have
to let people know

It wasn't brenda's fault.

- First we find the person

Who tampered
with her nasal spray, okay?

- Was she having problems
at her work?

- She was busy lately.

A lot of stress.

- With anything or anyone
in particular?

- I'm not sure.

She was staying late
at work.

I've been preoccupied
with my mom

And her cancer, so...

Brenda and I, we hadn't had
a lot of time to talk.

Excuse me.

They just brought my son down
from icu.

He's been asking
about his mom.

- Yeah.
Go ahead, mr. Sawyer.

- Staying late at work,
huh?

- I want to be helpful.
- You're doing okay.

Let's start
with some easy questions.

Brenda, she had allergies,
right?

- Yes.

She was always spritzing stuff

Up her nose.

- Where did she keep
her nasal spray?

- In her purse.

- And her purse.
Where did she keep that?

- On her desk.

Or next to it--
is this helping?

- Big time.
Okay, touchier subject now.

How did she get along
with people here?

- Oh, everyone thought
the world of her.

- We heard she'd been staying
late the last few weeks.

What was that about?

She and zack--
that's mr. Marshall,

The head
of the sales department--

They had this big project
together.

- Project.
That sounds interesting.

- Oh, for sure.

Um, the night
before the accident,

They were in his office

In this big hush-hush,
and they stopped

When they saw me.

- How about the day
of the accident?

Were they getting along?

- Zack called in
after he left

Looking for her,
and I said

That she went to pick up
her kids.

He didn't seem too happy.

- Did he call
from a cell phone?

You know the number?

- This isn't his personal phone.

It's the one
the company gave him.

- Thanks.
You've been very helpful.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- I'm glad.

- Big hush-hush.

It's either personal,
professional, or...

Mineral.

- Yeah, well, his number
matches the number

That called brenda
in the minivan.

Maybe her son overheard
the conversation.

- Her son who just got out
of the I.C.U.?

You I.A. Guys are cold.

- I can really keep it?

- It's yours.

Especially since you're going
to help us

With some
of our detective work.

- Okay.

- Now we know some of the stuff
may be hard to talk about.

So you just let us know

And we can talk about it
some other time.

- I don't care.

- Okay.

When you were in the car,

Before the accident,

Do you remember your mom
getting a phone call?

- Yes.
From her boss.

She couldn't hear him.

So she hung up.

She was acting weird.

- We understand, nicky.

We know it wasn't
your mother's fault.

Did she say anything
about her boss?

- She said he was nice.

And he bought her
a jamjuice smoothie.

- The smoothie
she was drinking

When you guys stopped
to buy ice cream?

- A jamjuice franchise

Three blocks
from woodmoor pharma

Made a delivery
late Friday afternoon.

Eight smoothies, enough
for the whole sales staff.

Charged to zack marshall's
corporate card.

- He spiked her smoothie
and her nasal spray.

- She parked
in the company garage.

He could have planted
the liquor bottle

In her minivan too.

- He wanted us to think
she crashed her car

Because she was drunk,
not because she was knocked out

On propofol.

- Crazy scheme.

- Well, you're gonna love this.
Here.

The 911 calls
about the minivan,

They were all made
between 5:24 and 5:25,

All except one,

Made at 5:16 from a payphone
in tuckahoe.

- Ten miles
from the west side highway.

Someone must have
a big crystal ball.

- Zack marshall's phone call
to brenda sawyer

Two minutes earlier
hit off a cell phone tower

In tuckahoe.

- I treat my team
to smoothies every Friday.

Kind of a attaboy motivator.

- But you didn't notice brenda
pouring a little extra kick

Into her cup, did you?
- No.

She knew I didn't tolerate
that kind of behavior.

- After you both left
the office,

You called her?
- No.

- This is the list
of all the calls you made.

You see that one right there?

You didn't tell us
you called her.

[soda can opens]

- I didn't know.

I was driving with my phone
in my pocket.

I had brenda on speed dial.

I must have hit it
by mistake.

- Huh. Why did you have her
on speed dial?

- Well, I have all
of my team on speed dial.

- Could we see your phone?

- Well, I don't know.

I deleted brenda's entry.

I think I deleted
some others.

Moving them around.
I'm not good at these gadgets.

Anyway, it's not important,
is it?

- Oh, it is.

You see, you and brenda
have been staying late together

These last couple of weeks.

People saw you, zack.

What were you working on?

- I can't say.
- Mm-hmm.

- It's confidential information.
It belongs to the company.

- Are you sure
you were working?

- What else would it be?

- You tell us.

- Oh, no.

No way.
I'm married.

She was married.
She had kids, for god's sake.

- Her kids and her nieces.

This is what they looked like
before the accident.

You want to see
the after pictures?

- No, I don't need
to see that.

- Yeah, we know, had this been
in your power,

You would have done everything
to stop it from happening.

- Of course.
It was terrible.

- But you did try,
didn't you?

You called 911.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

From a payphone
in tuckahoe.

- She's in a dark blue minivan
with new york plates.

She's got kids with her.

Send somebody right away.
Please.

- What location, sir?

- You see, you tried
to get the police

To pull her over
before she got on the highway,

Before she was knocked out
by the propofol

You put in her nasal spray.

- I didn't mean--
I didn't mean--

- You didn't mean what?

- You didn't mean what,
zack, huh?

You didn't mean to get
these kids killed?

Is that what you mean?

You didn't know
they were going to be

In the minivan,
is that right?

- [hyperventilates]

- Look at the pictures,
zack.

You didn't mean to kill
these kids, did you?

- I got to go
to the bathroom.

[coughs]
please, I got to go!

Please!

[coughs violently]

- Hey, we'll hang on
to your jacket.

Give it to me.

- [retching]

[moans]

- You okay in there?

- Oh, god.

- Get a paramedic.

Get a paramedic,
damn it.

Oh, oh, god!
Oh!

- Let me go.
Let me die!

- No, I'm not gonna
let you go

That easy, my friend.

Lupes!

He stuck a ballpoint pen
in his neck.

- Son of a bitch.
- Grab his hands.

- [grunts]

- Don't think that didn't cross
my mind.

- Should I stand over there?

- You're fine where you are,
mr. Cooper.

People v. Zachary marshall,

Murder in the second degree,
seven counts.

- How does mr. Marshall plead?

- Not guilty
on all charges.

- People request remand.

- I want to see my wife.
- I'm working on that.

Your honor,
my client's obviously

Under a doctor's care
and not a flight risk.

- He's under a doctor's care
due to a suicide attempt,

Which evinces consciousness
of his guilt.

- It wasn't guilt. He was upset
by the allegations.

- He was upset because he killed
more people

On a new york roadway
than anyone in history.

- Your honor,
even the police claim

That my client tried
to avert this tragedy.

- Sounds like mr. Cooper
is admitting intentional murder

And asserting renunciation.

- No, not necessarily.

- I suggest you figure it out,
mr. Cooper.

Your client's remanded.

- His lawyer practically
stumbled into a confession.

- Well, we could use
a confession.

A suicide attempt and a smoothie
won't convict mr. Marshall.

- The police found the foil
wrapper to a nasal spray

In marshall's house.

Same brand as the one
in brenda's car.

- Better. Not as good
as evidence of an affair

Or of putting the propofol
in his hands.

- His company stores it
in a warehouse in white plains.

- Well, have a nice drive.

- Zack marshall, he's been
out here in the past month.

- Been out here a few times
by the looks of it.

Would he have had access
to any products here?

Maybe samples?

- Salespeople
are issued samples, sure.

- How about propofol?

- We don't give out samples
of propofol.

- How would mr. Marshall
get access to it?

- He wouldn't.

We have security measures.

We got
a dozen government agencies

Breathing down our necks.

- Is it normal
for a sales manager

To visit the warehouse
so often?

- If he has an issue
with distribution.

- Did he?

- Not that I recall.

- I see a couple times

Where brenda sawyer signed in
with him.

Did they always come together?

- A couple times she came
by herself.

- Do you remember what for?

- She was looking
at sales data

For one of our drugs.

Lextenda.

- Brenda sawyer
didn't rep lextenda.

She say why
she was interested?

- She said there was
a distribution issue

With the cancer clinic
one of her relatives was using.

- Losing brenda
was a horrible loss for matt.

And nicky.

Growing up without a mother.

- It's nice that they have you
here with them.

- For as long as I last.

I'm a realist, dear.

People my age
don't beat colon cancer.

Now, what can I do for you?

- I need to know,

Did brenda ever talk to you
about a drug called lextenda?

- Yes.
My clinic had me on it,

But brenda made me
stop taking it.

- Even though her company
made the drug?

Did she say why?

- She didn't think
it was right for me.

It was after she spoke
with albert's son.

[sighs]

Albert was at the clinic.

He had colon cancer.

He was taking lextenda.

When albert's son found out
that brenda worked for woodmoor,

He got very upset
with her.

- Because of lextenda?

- I'm not sure.

She spent a lot of time
talking to him.

- My father made peace
with dying.

He even signed
his own dnr.

The clinic then put him
on the new medicine

They said would extend his life
for months, even years.

- And that medicine
was lextenda.

- Right, a thousand bucks a day.

The cancer had already maxed out
my pop's insurance,

So we had to pay for it
out of our own pocket.

- And what happened?
- Pops kept getting worse.

That lextenda didn't do anything
for him.

I wanted to take him off it,

But the clinic talked my mom
into keeping him on it.

And she used up all her savings
to pay for that drug.

And for what?

My pops spent the last five
weeks of his life in agony,

And now my mom can't afford
to be in the house

That she's been in
for 40 years?

- I'm so sorry.

I was told
that you got very upset

With brenda sawyer
when you found out

She worked for the company
that made lextenda.

- Yeah,
I kind of lost it there.

Brenda was a real angel.

She listened to me.

She didn't know
about lextenda.

She said she'd look into it.

- What did she find out?

- I'm not sure.

I lost touch with her
after my pops died.

I know she got into
this big thing with dr. Price,

The head of the clinic.

- People with loved ones

Who are terminally ill
want miracles.

When they don't get them,
they get angry.

They blame the doctor.
They blame the drugs.

- What specifically did
brenda sawyer discuss with you?

- She didn't want
her mother-in-law on lextenda.

- Why?

- She wanted to show me
some data

On her laptop,
but she was a salesperson.

She had no medical training.

- Did she question
why you were keeping

Mr. Quintana on lextenda,

Even though he was getting
no medical benefit from it?

- It was really none
of her business.

Or yours, for that matter.

- What percentage of your
terminally ill cancer patients

Are on lextenda?

- I don't see
how that's relevant.

- I'll decide what's relevant.

Or, if you'd rather,
I could come back

With a subpoena
for all of your records.

- Why don't you do that,

Ms. Rubirosa.

You get your subpoena.

In the meantime,
I'll talk to my lawyer.

- You're a golfer.

- Some of my friends would
disagree with that statement.

- Woodmoor invitational hawaii.

Dominican republic.
Honduras.

Wow.
You get around.

You and your
little golf balls.

- Well, I got a hold
of dr. Price's data

Through the state's
morbidity studies.

He's prescribed lextenda
to all his patients

At the end stage
of their disease.

Their bodies
were shutting down

In a process called wasting.

- Did lextenda help them?

- Compared to similar patients

Who weren't taking lextenda,

Price's patients lived
an average of 36 days longer.

- That's on the low end of
woodmoor's marketing materials.

- That's 36 days they
wouldn't have had otherwise.

- A couple of them lived
for a few months.

And one for almost a year.

But the vast majority only lived
a week or two.

- Still.

- It's living,
but barely.

- At a thousand dollars a day.

- Drug company perks
are nothing new.

- Well, this is for a drug

That has no palliative value.

It's what the medical community
calls a rescue drug.

It extends life
by a matter of days,

But at an exorbitant cost.

- Not to mention it targets

A very vulnerable
and desperate group of patients.

- Still, unless the company's
paying the prescribing doctors

To misrepresent
the drug's effectiveness...

- Maybe brenda sawyer found out
that they are.

- She was in the warehouse

Digging through
lextenda sales data

Along with zack marshall.

- Maybe she confided in him.

- She probably thought
she could trust him.

He went back afterwards
by himself.

- And what if he didn't share
brenda's outrage

At what she found out?

He's a sales manager.

Brenda blows the whistle

And lextenda's sales tank,

Then so might his career
and his company.

- So he silenced brenda?

He might be a company man,
but loyalty only goes so far.

- Do you have any idea how much
woodmoor grosses annually

On lextenda?

- Hmm. That would buy
a lot of loyalty.

- What happened to mr. Cooper?

Trade him in for someone
who knows where to stand?

- Courtesy of woodmoor pharma,
we presume.

- Not your concern.

What brings you
to scenic rikers island?

- Your client's facing seven
life sentences, mr. Hoyt.

- I'm new here, but your case
feels very circumstantial to me.

Foil packaging?

- Juries tend to lower the bar
quite a bit

When dead children
are involved.

- Now we know why he did it.

- Oh, it wasn't a lovers' spat.

Please, share.

- Brenda sawyer was about to
blow the whistle on lextenda.

- Lextenda?

- You remember, mr. Marshall.

The cancer drug
brenda was asking about

When she was with you

At woodmoor's
distribution facility.

- Your client can fill you in
on the specifics.

- Other words, you can't put
either the alcohol

Or the propofol in his hands,
can you?

I'll contact you
when I get up to speed.

Or not.
Come on, mr. Marshall.

First thing we're gonna do

Is make a bail application

To get you home
to your family.

- Sounds like woodmoor is trying
to do damage control.

If they can force us
to cut marshall a quick deal,

Maybe they can keep lextenda
out of it.

- Or maybe marshall cut
his own deal with them.

He'll keep his mouth shut
about lextenda

In return for some high-priced
legal representation.

- And where are we
with lextenda?

Anything beyond speculation
and educated guesswork?

- Brenda's research
was on her company laptop.

Her assistant told me
woodmoor security removed it

From her office the weekend
after she was killed.

- That laptop holds our motive.

- I'm sure
if you ask woodmoor nicely,

They'll hand it right over.

- Woodmoor is moving to quash

The d.A.'s subpoena
for this laptop.

There's nothing
on the computer

Which relates to this tragic
drunk driving case.

- They can't seriously expect us
to take their word for it.

- Is mr. Cutter admitting that
this is a fishing expedition?

- No, we're looking
for documents

Which relate to the motive

For seven murders.

- What documents are those,
mr. Cutter?

- Anything concerning a medicine
called lextenda.

- Lextenda
is a closely held patent, judge.

Any information
on a woodmoor computer

About woodmoor products
is proprietary.

- The people aren't interested
in stealing trade secrets.

I'll give the court
my personal guarantee

That anything unrelated
to lextenda's sales,

Marketing, or distribution
will remain confidential

And secure.

- He's still fishing,
your honor.

- I agree. Mr. Cutter,
your subpoena is quashed.

[gavel knocks]

- Well, asking nicely
didn't work.

What's plan b?

- I'll ask.

- I haven't seen you
since you came knocking

With your hand out, jack.

Belated congratulations.

- Thanks again for the campaign
contribution, austin.

- Don't thank me.
Thank my board of directors.

I assume
this isn't a social call.

I heard my guys
beat up your guys today.

- Zack marshall and brenda
sawyer were your employees.

- Terrible tragedy.

- And terrible for woodmoor.

- It's not the kind
of publicity

We aspire to.

- Especially if it got out
those seven deaths

Were really about lextenda.

- Excuse me?

- Brenda sawyer
was gathering data

About your miracle drug
until she was killed

By a rogue employee.

But why am I telling you
something you already know?

- I don't know
what marshall did

Or didn't do,
but I do know

Lextenda
is an effective product.

- Brenda sawyer
thought otherwise.

That you were selling false hope
to desperate people

At a thousand bucks a day.

Doing it
by co-opting doctors

With timeshares
and tropical vacations.

That it's a rigged game.

- Don't get self-righteous
on me, jack.

If corporations
didn't make profits,

Where would politicians
like you be?

- You're right,
and it stinks.

There are
too many office holders

In the health industry's
pockets.

It's one of the reasons
we can't pass

A decent health care bill
in this country.

And, oh, by the way...

It's a certified check

Reimbursing
your campaign contribution.

- What do you want me to do?

- Grow a conscience.

Unless you want
to be personally named

As an accomplice, austin,

You can order your guys
to hand over that computer.

- All the files
have been deleted.

And I mean all of them.
- We expected that.

- All I could recover
were some basic applications

Built into the operating system.

Clock, address book, calendar.
- Can I take a look?

Thanks.

- The police went back
through marshall's home

And computer.
Nothing on lextenda.

- Brenda's computer
was wiped clean.

Everything's gone, except
her address book and calendar.

But look at this.

[beep]

Her appointments
the week after she died.

This one here.
- "j. Wigand.

Tuesday, 10:00 a.M."

- And there is no j. Wigand
in her address book.

- I don't remember
seeing that name

In her phone records.

- Jeffrey wigand.

The king
of the whistleblowers.

He blew the whistle
on big tobacco.

- It's hard to believe
she'd be meeting with him.

- Exactly. So maybe
this was her inside joke.

A code name for a meeting
with a regulatory agency.

- An agency that could do
something about lextenda.

The fda.

- She said she worked
for woodmoor,

But she wouldn't tell me
her name.

We set up the Tuesday meeting.

She never showed.

- She say why she insisted
on anonymity?

- Most people who contact us
don't give us

Their name at first.

They don't want to risk
their jobs

If we're not gonna act
on their information.

This lady wouldn't even tell me
what drug she was calling about.

- She didn't mention lextenda?

- Is that what it was?

I got a call about lextenda
later that week from a doctor.

He was very eager
to move forward.

I even sent him
an informational packet.

- You sent it to him?

This doctor left you
his name?

- Yeah, he did.

But under the whistleblower
protection laws,

I can't divulge his identity
without a court order.

- Well,
we'll take care of that.

Any other inquiries
about lextenda?

- Not that I'm aware of.

But I wouldn't be surprised
to see an uptick

In complaints
on these end-term cancer meds.

- Why?
Because they're not effective?

- Well, big money at stake.

Not just for corporations,
but for whistleblowers.

They get a piece
of any penalty

Imposed on the company.

Ever since a whistleblower
got $50 million

On that pfizer settlement,

Drug company employees

Have been coming
out of the woodwork.

- The $2 billion penalty
against pfizer

Was for illegal marketing,

Which is exactly
what brenda suspected

Woodmoor of doing
with lextenda.

- Zack marshall saved
his company a tidy sum.

They should be very proud
of him.

- And they're doing
everything they can

To show their appreciation.

The erased computer files,
his bail money,

The fancy lawyer.
[knock at door]

- The fda just turned over
the name and address

Of the doctor who called them
about lextenda.

It's a dr. Sherin,
up in dobbs ferry.

- Well, if he gives us
information

About woodmoor's
illegal marketing,

Then maybe you can use it
to convince

Your friends at woodmoor
to cut marshall loose.

- My friends, ha.

- Dr. Sherin
rents a box here.

Box 819.

But he hasn't come in
for a while.

- Do you have
a home address on him?

- All I know
is he's from florida.

He's only been in here twice,

Including when he rented
the box.

- You mind if we have a look?

- I'm not supposed to do that.

I mean, if it was terrorism,
maybe.

- Do you remember
all those kids

That died in that crash
on the westside highway?

This is that.

- Oh.

- When did dr. Sherin

Rent the box?

- Uh, six weeks ago.

He said he'd be coming
through here every few weeks

To see a patient.

Here you go.

Return address says
it's from the fda.

- The last time he came in,

What was it for?

- He had a package sent
by registered mail.

I had to get his d.E.A. Number

Before I could release
the package.

- His d.E.A. Number?

Was it medication?

- I think so.
Let me check.

Here it is.

It was from woodmoor pharma.

- Is this dr. Sherin?

- That's right.

I thought you said
you didn't know him.

- We tracked the package
back to woodmoor.

One vial of propofol.

Sent to dr. Sherin,
I.E., you, mr. Marshall.

- And we're ready
for trial, mr. Hoyt.

- Another piece
of circumstantial evidence.

Not the end of the world.

- Are you kidding me?

I didn't mean
for any of this to happen.

I swear.
I tried to stop it.

- What did you mean
to happen?

- Zack, I'm advising you
to shut up.

- No, I don't want
your advice anymore.

I just wanted her
to get pulled over.

The police would think
she was drunk,

She'd get a dwi,

She'd get fired and lose
her credibility with the fda.

- Her credibility
as a whistleblower?

- Yes.

She was gonna give
all the reward money away.

I couldn't let that happen.

- You didn't do this
to save your company

Or your job,
did you?

- Zack.
- Shut up!

I didn't care
about woodmoor.

Not after brenda showed me what
they were doing with lextenda.

She had a list of all
the doctors in the country

Who were prescribing it,
all the kickbacks

They were getting
from the company.

She even found
an internal cost analysis

Of how much money
woodmoor could make

Off of every terminal cancer
patient before they died.

- She came to you why?

She was looking for help?

- No, I found out
what she was doing.

And I wanted us to go
to the fda together.

But then she wanted to give
all the money away

To hudson university
for pediatric cancer research.

All the money.

Tens of millions of dollars.

I mean,
she didn't need it.

Her husband makes
a good living.

But me...

My wife doesn't work.

I have kids.

I don't have a house
in the country.

I don't have savings.

- So you decided to drug her
with propofol

So that she'd get
in a fatal accident.

- No, I told you...

I thought she was gonna get
in a little fender-bender

In the city.

Then I called in.

Her assistant told me
that she had the kids with her.

I tried to stop brenda.

I called her. I told her
to come back to the office.

To pull over.

But she couldn't hear me.

And I called 911.
I tried to tell them.

Oh, my god.
What did I do?

What did I do?

- If I'm not mistaken,

My client has
a viable renunciation defense.

- [snickers]
now you are kidding.

I'll take his plea
to seven counts

Of depraved
indifference murder.

20 years to life,
subject to approval

By the victims' families.

- Okay.

Okay.

- I think we're done here.

- Not quite.

The evidence you were turning
over to the fda, where is it?

- You don't need that.
It's immaterial.

- He gives it to us,
or there's no deal.

- It's on a flash drive

In a knapsack
in my son's closet.

- I'll call lupo and bernard.

- 20 years.

- It's your call,
mr. Sawyer.

- What about brenda's sister
and her husband

And the people
in the other car,

Their family,
what did they say?

- We came to you first.

- My mother died last week.

- We're very sorry.

- It was her time.

My son's doing well.

It's been hard,
but we just go on.

Brenda was never
a mean-minded person.

I guess 20 years is fair.

- All right.

- And the reward money,
when it comes,

I want some to go
to brenda's sister

And the other family,

But the rest of it,
I don't want it.

It should go
where brenda wanted.

- Cancer research.

- Yes.

I guess that's it then.

Thank you.

- 20 years it is.
