[ Man ] * Say I, I-I-I * [ Chattering, Laughing ]
** [ Continues ]
To the new year.
May it be better than last year.
I know it will be.
Carlos, I need you to bring negotiations to a close.
Not a problem, Mr. Greene.
Mark and I'll take care of it.
Hey, how you doin', man? How you doin', Carlos?
Good, good. So, uh, can we, uh, talk about the deal?
Of course. Just follow me. Come on.
So, I, uh, had a chance to take a look at the numbers.
Mmm-- [ Grunts ]
[ Groaning ]
Mr. Greene's proposal wasn't a request, Nick.
Yes, but feel free to take as much time as you need to think about it.
[ Groaning ]
Damn!
[ Crowd, Faint ] Five... four... three... two... one!
Happy New Year. [ Crowd Cheering ]
So, I sign this, and I'm good, right?
As long as you testify you'll have total immunity,
with new identities for you, your wife and kids.
-What about Kimi? -Mark, I can't put your mistress in witness protection.
Just like I told my wife, I'm not leavin' Kimi.
Elliot Greene's not a forgiving man.
You don't sign, we cut you loose.
You'll be dead in a day.
- Welcome to your new home. - Mmm.
[ Marshal ] Go!
- [ Groans ] - Sniper! Get outta here!
Go, go, go!
Get away from the window. What?
Get away from the bloody window. Why?
What's going on?
A sniper just killed Mark McLaughlin while he was in protective custody.
Is he someone from one of our cases?
No, no, no. He was a case Reynolds worked before he came here.
All right, Lightman, don't say another word, okay?
McLaughlin was Reynolds's running buddy in an assortment of crimes, right?
You're not supposed to know anything about that.
- You work here. I know everything. - Somebody want to fill me in?
Reynolds, uh, was undercover, what, two years?
Trying to dismantle Elliot Greene's organization in New York.
- Greene, the Wall Street guy? - Yeah.
Mobster, killer, extortionist. Mark was the lead witness in the case against Greene.
Yeah, now he's dead. Reynolds is next in line to testify.
U.S. attorney's on his way. He wants to put you in protective custody.
You sound like you have a problem with that.
Yeah, I do. They've got a spotty record at best.
Would you bet your life they could keep you safe? No, I didn't think so.
So what do you have in mind? Follow me.
Hi. You're the U.S. attorney, right?
Garrett Denning. Where's Agent Reynolds?
He's in the loo. Uh, this is Foster.
Wh-- Why is he in there? We have to move now.
Because your last witness got his head blown off.
- And he works here. My office, my rules. - You're way outta line.
He is my new lead witness, and he's leaving with me. Well, that's bulletproof glass.
That's a reinforced door.
-He stays till I put in the code. -So you're holding him prisoner.
Hostage. I'll release him if my demands are met.
[ Man ] * Dream, send me a sign *
* Turn back the clock *
* Give me some time *
* I need to break out *
* Make a new name *
* Let's open our eyes *
* To the brand-new day **
Give me Agent Reynolds now, or I will have your company shut down...
and charge you with obstruction of justice.
Well, that's not gonna get him out of there.
We are all concerned about Reynolds's safety, so let's work out a deal.
- Oh, you have a list of demands, do you? - Yeah.
- Yeah, secure our building until we know he's safe. - That's unnecessary.
-U.S. Marshals are fully capable of protecting Agent Reynolds. -You don't sound too sure.
The only ones I don't trust were the three guarding McLaughlin.
Only they knew where he was going.
My office is conducting an investigation into those marshals.
Yeah, you give them to me, and then I'll let Reynolds go. His life's in danger.
You ask him who he trusts to get to the bottom of this, you or us.
You were the only ones who knew the safe house location.
One of you gave up your witness. It's not possible.
If there was someone dirty on my team--
They all flash fear when they hear Elliot Greene's name. What'd this guy do?
He was a Wall Street fixer.
If a hedge fund was looking for inside information,
Greene's people did whatever it took to get it for them.
- What did it normally take? - Blackmail. Kidnapping.
Torture. Murder.
Our identities were kept secret, even from each other.
Which one of you did Greene get to?
The U.S. Marshals don't hire turncoats.
Uh, just a minute.
Can I borrow you?
All right, this gentleman here is from the U.S. attorney's office,
and it is his job to put whichever one of you three killed McLaughlin in prison.
Right. Well, you two, hop it. Go on. Out. Go on!
- I want to talk to you. - What did I do?
Well, those two were scared they might be working with someone connected to Greene.
You know, only you showed additional fear when you were threatened with jail time.
So what did Greene do? Did he, uh, pay you off?
- Did he threaten your family? - No.
Something else. What, did you simply not like McLaughlin?
Mark was an obnoxious lowlife and a scumbag,
but I didn't want him dead.
Hey, keep an eye on him, all right?
Wait, does that mean we question the marshal or wait for Lightman to come back?
Mmm, I don't know, but I'm sure it's some kind of test.
So, is that our guy or not?
What can you tell me about the case, now McLaughlin is dead?
Well, his death is a disaster. I have to restructure my entire approach to the trial.
And without Reynolds, I don't have a case.
Does his voice sound like his face looks?
There was a distinct upturn in his vocal pitch when he mentioned McLaughlin's death.
Did you have him killed?
That's absurd. He was our lead witness.
But he was at a meeting with you just before he was murdered.
You knew the exact place and time he was being moved.
Of course. I'm an assistant U.S. attorney.
- Yet you're happy he's dead. - Well, it makes sense. He had a rap sheet a mile long.
He only cut a deal with you because you had him by the throat.
If it was me, I'd much prefer a highly decorated F.B.I. agent as a witness.
Did you have Mark McLaughlin killed?
Are you people on drugs?
- Did you have any idea he was about to be murdered? - Absolutely not.
Well, that's the truth.
Thank you. Now, get back in there with that marshal.
No, he's a puppet. I'm much more interested in the guy who's pulling the strings.
What, you want me to get you in front of Elliot Greene?
Yeah, absolutely. If you want the truth.
This'll tell you if I have swine flu?
Nah. Nah.
It's a prerequisite for a body cavity search.
I'm kidding. Just kidding, Mr. Greene.
So, how we feeling today?
Fine, I guess. What, just fine?
It's not every day the lead witness in a case against you gets killed, is it?
Who are you?
I'm a friend of the witness that's about to step in to keep you behind bars.
I'm also a doctor.
And you're entitled to a lawyer. Don't need one.
Tell me, how'd you get to McLaughlin?
Did you pay off one of the marshals?
Did you threaten him?
Someone higher up the food chain, then?
Nah, that's not it either.
It is funny, isn't it?
A man gets killed today, you'll face another murder count.
Tell your friends I'm confident that I'll be cleared at trial.
You believe that, don't you?
I have nothing to fear.
You think you can kill my friend?
Who's your friend? The man I know as Carlos? Benjamin Reynolds, right?
If you think that federal agent is going to be the guy who's gonna take me down,
ask him about his old friend Scotty.
What's up? I just had a very interesting chat with your friend Elliot Greene.
He says he has no intention of harming you.
Forgive me if I don't believe him.
Do you have any idea why he's not the slightest bit worried about your testimony?
Half of what I know could send him away for life.
Does the name Scotty mean anything to you?
There it is.
Let me see that case file.
What are you looking for? Hmm?
Okay, there.
What is that?
Can we quit screwin' around here? Greene's trial is in four days.
Well, it's not gonna matter, because you're gonna have to make your case without me.
Without you, I don't have a case.
Just use the surveillance tapes. That should be enough.
You're my witness who authenticates the tapes and nails the guy.
And as a federal agent you really don't have a choice in the matter.
I do have a choice.
You sacrificed two years of your life to build this case, right?
And now I'm done sacrificing.
If you don't take the stand you'll be fired from the F.B.I. and we will press charges.
I'm not testifying.
You can't do that.
Watch me.
Seen that face before.
You need to call me back as soon as you get this. I got a big problem here.
Call me on my cell phone as soon as you get to your office.
[ Thunder Rumbling ]
Have you lost your mind?
Yeah, it's funny, 'cause I was about to ask you the same question.
Why are you doing this to me?
Look, Lightman, I get it. You're concerned, and I appreciate that.
But you really need to back off, okay?
I'm the man who's keeping you safe. You know what this is?
This is just another one of your ego trips.
You can't rest until you find out what I've been keeping from you.
No, it's not about me. No, it's about the pain you're feeling right now.
Oh, so you just see it all, huh?
But, see, you have no idea. None.
I've had to make a few brutal choices in the past to arrive at the right outcome.
Hey, let me tell you something.
When I was undercover on the Greene case, my father, he died.
I didn't go to the hospital or the funeral, so don't talk to me about tough choices.
Well then, testify! Go on, then.
Make the sacrifice count for something.
Just-- Just shut up and give me my phone.
[ Thunder Continues Rumbling ]
Who were you calling?
Sheila Redatti. Who's she?
She was my handler on the case. Oh, yeah?
Does she know why you won't testify? I haven't spoken to her in months.
Oh, wait, so I get it. So you're investigating me for them.
Yep. Yeah. To keep you from getting dragged out of here.
Yeah, funny you didn't mention that up front. Just trying to get to the truth.
And I bet you'd serve me up to get it.
- Hey. - Hey.
Is there anything in the case file from Reynolds's handler?
Uh, Sheila Redatti. Uh, yeah, yeah. She wrote most of it.
Uh, the language suggests she's, uh, intelligent.
I mean, meticulous, and, uh, emotionally attached to Reynolds.
You think he was shagging his boss?
Well... I can't confirm that from the case file,
but her feelings for him run deep.
I wonder if he feels the same way.
What, do you think he's trying to protect her? He's protecting someone.
That's it. I'm going in.
No. Lightman'll be furious that you interfered.
I'm gonna find out what he wants.
No, then he'll be angry that we didn't take the initiative sooner.
Well, if I'm going to get yelled at no matter what, I might as well get in the game.
You comin'?
Describe the events of this morning.
I woke up at 5:15 a.m.
I took a shower. I got dressed.
Interested what I did in the john?
Why don't we skip ahead to after that?
I woke Mark up and took him to the U.S. attorney. Whoa. You skipped some steps.
What happened between waking him up and taking him out of the safe house?
The usual. He got ready and we left.
Did he brush his teeth? Did he shower? Talk us through it.
I wasn't with him in the bathroom.
You screwed up.
When Mark was in the bathroom, what did you do? Who do you think you are?
Huh? I've been decorated three times in the line of duty.
But you made a mistake this morning. So what was it?
Tell us, or your career ends today.
We can see to that.
I could hear Mark talking in the bathroom, and I caught him using a cell phone.
He wasn't supposed to have one.
And I'm guessing you didn't report it. No, I tossed it.
I didn't think it would compromise our security.
Tell us where you ditched the phone.
Special Agent Redatti? I'm Gillian Foster.
I've-- I've left you a few messages. Oh, right.
I'm sorry I haven't got back to you. I'm on my way to a briefing, and I'm in a hurry.
No problem. I'll walk with you.
I really need to talk about Agent Reynolds.
I can't discuss any of the details of the Greene case.
Well, I'm more concerned about why he's refusing to testify.
I wish I could help you,
but we haven't spoken since he was reassigned, and they didn't even tell me where.
You were his only lifeline to the outside world when he was undercover.
You must have some insight.
I just found out that he's refusing to testify, and it shocked me.
It's not like him. He's a model agent. The gold standard.
"Model agent. Gold standard."
You're lavishing all sorts of praise on him, but you don't act very concerned.
Let me clue you in about what it's like for people to work together undercover.
I've counseled agents after they've completed undercover assignments.
Then you should understand that there's a very strong bond between Ben and me.
I do not want to see him ruined or in prison.
Well, then you should want him to testify.
To get in with Greene's organization,
Ben was authorized to commit minor crimes to play the role of a criminal.
He assaulted people, made threats, used narcotics.
I've been there.
Even if you're authorized to break the law, it changes you.
How did it change Reynolds?
He was authorized to use drugs, not abuse them, and if he testifies it'll all come out.
We have reason to believe someone named Scotty is keeping him off the stand.
Scotty Villarosa?
Is that someone Reynolds used drugs with? Among other things.
When we swept up Greene's crew, we never found Scotty.
He just disappeared. Got away.
We could really use your help back at my office.
And Reynolds really needs a friend.
Will you come down and talk to him?
[ Redatti ] Anything for Ben.
I'll head over after the briefing.
Well, I don't think that they're romantically involved.
- She cares for him. - Well, she paints a pretty ugly picture with her words.
What did you see?
The whole drug thing with Reynolds-- Does it bother you? Does it unsettle you?
Is it flashbacks to your ex-husband?
If I'm upset, it's because this just got twice as complicated.
Being married to Alec gave me insights into how addicts can lead double lives.
But don't read me. You're supposed to be reading her.
Sorry. Well, um, that was Alec.
This is Reynolds.
- Who is refusing to testify in order to protect himself. - Well, according to her.
But protect himself from what? I don't know.
Maybe we don't know Reynolds as well as we thought we did.
Don't throw your career away like this.
All right, everybody out. Go on, hop it. This is my investigation.
Go on! Go on. Thanks for your help.
Oh, don't-- don't do that. Don't try that.
I'm onto you.
Really? Yeah.
Well, if that's true, you should see how pointless it is for you to keep coming at me like that.
You're wrestling with something that you can't live with. Been there, done that.
Look, Lightman, just stop, okay? I've interrogated more suspects than you.
Oh, you think so? Yeah, I know so.
- I know all the mind games. - Wrong again. I don't need mind games when I've got the truth.
The truth? Really? Enlighten me.
You were a cokehead,
prone to mood swings and violence.
Foster spoke to your handler.
I was doin' my job.
I think you liked doin' drugs.
I think you liked bein' a criminal. I mean, bit of a rush, right?
I was getting close enough to Greene to make my case. That's it.
There's more to it than that. I think you miss those days. That's why you won't testify.
You're wrong.
Yeah, I think you're afraid everyone's going to see the coke-snorting whoremonger...
you've been trying so hard to bury.
You better back off now.
Yeah, your handler said your time undercover, it changed you.
I don't think it changed you. That's what you really are.
And you're afraid everyone's gonna see that.
- You want to talk about me? - Yeah.
You know, I read your file too, Lightman.
Northern Ireland? How about we talk about that?
I'm not the one heading off to jail.
Yeah, well, you should be,
some of the crap you were involved in over there.
You know, uh, there's still time to step up and be the good boy in all this.
It's too late for a change now.
Doesn't have to be.
What's in the case file, Ben?
What was it that surprised you so much?
You helped me out of some serious trouble with my friend Terry.
Let me repay the favor.
My office.
No cameras.
Who's Scotty?
You know, you make one mistake, and any other day it wouldn't even matter.
Who is he?
People who are supposed to have your back, they just--
they just leave you hangin'.
Did he betray you?
Scotty Villarosa was another one of Greene's guys.
I worked with him.
- Did he threaten you? - He can't ever get to me.
You seem pretty certain of that.
Why?
Because I killed Scotty.
Shot him dead.
You killed Scotty Villarosa?
I mean, was it self-defense or--
Yeah.
He was my first one.
I never shot a person before.
And you'd think that he'd just fall back and be dead instantly.
But no, he-- he held on.
He just stood there, watching me as he died.
Why'd you kill him?
Just wrong place, wrong time, I guess. We were in this apartment.
I went to the intercom to buzz Mark and Greene into the building.
My wire started futzing out, making noises.
And I tried to cover it up. I tried to explain to him.
But... I was busted.
So Scotty finds your wire and he pulls a gun on you.
Tell me he pulled a gun on you.
[ Sighs ]
You know, he had this look on his face, and I knew he had a gun.
But I had the drop on him, and I warned his dumb ass, and he still tried to--
[ Sighs ]
So that was that.
I took the wire off my body and put it on Scotty's.
Made him look like the rat to Greene.
I was in after that.
Killing Scotty was the best thing that ever happened to me in this case.
You covered this up the whole time? Hell, no.
As soon as I got a chance, I called Sheila and I told her everything.
She told me to stay on the case and that she would handle it.
And you took her at her word. Yes, I did.
Because the very next day she said headquarters signed off on the shooting.
She even had me sign an incident report, but it's not in the case file now.
So don't you understand?
I'll be discredited as a witness, and Greene will walk.
You'll get done for murder.
Exactly. Now you see why I can't testify.
'Cause either way, I'm screwed.
Yeah. Yeah, you are.
Redatti uses you, you just roll over and let Greene have another go at you.
Is that it? You just gonna give it up without a fuss?
Excuse me? You heard me. I mean, it's pathetic.
I can't believe that I've wasted this much time on you.
I mean, you're a baby. What are you? Are you some kind of coward?
[ Yells ]
It's about bloody time. I've been waiting for this.
I mean, my God, you've still got a bit of fight left in you, I see.
So what, are you gonna stand up for yourself now, eh?
What the hell do you think I've been doin'? Huh?
I've been looking for a better way out of this, and there isn't one.
There is. Yeah, there is.
Let me have a crack at it.
And why should I trust you?
Now, it's a funny thing about trust,
'cause it's a matter of faith.
I mean, you can never really be sure of it, right?
Because I killed Scotty.
Shot him dead.
[ Click ]
You told me there were no cameras in here. This tape belongs to the F.B.I.
I mean, as evidence in an ongoing investigation, right?
Right. So can you watch the screen? Watch the screen.
It's gone.
I mean...
it's gone.
Anybody finds out that you ever did that, you're goin' to prison.
Yeah.
So now we're in the same boat, aren't we?
So let's start gettin' creative.
** [ Rock ]
- This better be about the case. - Oh. Yeah. Fortuitously, it is.
This is Mark McLaughlin's mistress.
She is a dancer of the exotic variety.
We're going to bring her and his wife in.
An hour before Mark died,
he called each of them on a cell phone he wasn't supposed to have.
We figure he dropped his location to them and got set up.
So you're going to establish a base line by watching her strangle a pole with her thighs?
Well, we're trying to determine if she gets embarrassed when she performs.
We could use that to rattle her.
If you want to rattle her, interview the mistress and wife together, let the sparks fly.
- We scheduled them to avoid that. - That's considerate, but wrong.
People find it hard to suppress their emotions...
when they're confronted by the victim of their deception.
- Okay. We'll bring them in together. - Good.
Well, I'm glad to see you, uh, pushed ahead on this.
I half expected to return and find you sitting on your thumbs.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Damn, Lightman. You're not messin' around, huh?
Your handler's in the cube and Denning's in the lab.
All right.
You ready? Guess I got no other choice.
Let's go have some fun.
What are they doin' here?
I'm charging Agent Reynolds for every crime he committed while he was on the Greene case.
I was under orders to commit certain crimes to maintain my cover.
Based on the assumption you'd fully cooperate. You're not keeping your end of the deal.
I don't think your people have been telling the whole truth here.
Unless you can make him testify, I have no reason to listen to you anymore.
What is Special Agent Redatti doing here?
- You know how you're wondering why Reynolds won't testify? - Yeah.
She's about to tell you.
I'm sorry about the wait, Agent Redatti.
Special Agent Redatti. Where's Ben?
He's going to be tied up for a while with the U.S. attorney.
This is some setup you've got here.
I came to speak with Agent Reynolds.
If he's not available, I have a lot of work to do.
What else can you tell me about Reynolds's drug use while he was undercover?
He did his duty,
which, at times, included drug use...
so that he could prove himself to some very dangerous people.
You seem to think he went above and beyond the call of duty.
Ben's a good agent who got caught up in a very bad situation.
End of story.
Tell me about the night Reynolds killed Scotty Villarosa.
- Here we go. - You killed a man while undercover?
Are you telling me that you don't know anything about it?
There's nothing to know.
He never killed anyone.
What the hell are they talking about? That was not in the file.
Mouth shut, eyes open, Counselor.
He shot Scotty and then informed you, as required by F.B.I. protocol.
Never.
You can tell she's lying, right?
Look, she's spent a lot more time undercover than you. I can't tell a thing yet.
Ben got in too deep.
He became addicted.
I should have pulled him out sooner.
Reynolds, you're up. What--
What are you doing?
I'm saving your case.
Where did he get that gun?
From me.
[ Lock Buzzes, Clicks ]
You better start tellin' the truth right now.
Ben, don't make this worse.
Let me go. No.
You're not goin' anywhere until you admit that I told you about Scotty.
Whatever you've done, I can explain the pressure that you were under.
And when the dust settles, you can have a great career out of the F.B.I.
I'm not making another deal with you.
After killing Scotty, I called you. I told you everything.
[ Redatti ] That never happened.
Maybe the drugs made you think that that happened. Look, stop. Stop lying.
You wrote up an incident report for the shooting, and you had me sign it.
No, I didn't.
Ben, you never called.
I didn't know.
You told me to stay undercover because the case against Greene was too important to lose.
If you had come to me with this, I could have done my job...
and then you wouldn't be in the mess that you're in now.
I'm sorry.
I trusted you.
You were all I had.
Oh, she's good.
But Reynolds got to her. There were three points where her deception leaked.
Yeah. She could've sold the lie to anyone else except him.
Well, what'd you get? Take Agent Reynolds into custody.
Remove that weapon. No, he's telling the truth. We can show you.
Take a look at Redatti as she's offering her first denial.
Save it. He just confessed to murder.
He had to make an appalling decision, granted.
But Redatti endorsed it. Her lies were apparent when he confronted her.
From the beginning, Agent Reynolds has shown a complete lack of candor.
- I don't have any choice. - If you arrest him, your case is over.
My case was over the second Mark McLaughlin died.
Reynolds is no good to me without hard evidence...
that proves Redatti covered up the shooting.
- I don't even know if that proof exists. - It does.
We just have to follow. She'll take us there.
We're very sorry for your loss.
We only have a few questions.
Mark had an unauthorized cell phone,
and the only people that he called with it were you two.
So which one of you is really grieving,
and which one of you gave him up to Elliot Greene's people?
Interesting. You're both angry.
Yeah, I'm angry. She got Mark killed.
Maybe you killed him because he loved me and not your used piece of ass.
Shut your mouth, tramp.
Okay, how long did you know Mark had a mistress?
Long enough to come up with a plan to kill him over it?
I didn't have him killed.
Mrs. McLaughlin, look at Kimi.
How do you feel when you see her?
- Angry. - And sad.
You feel very hurt.
I still loved Mark.
That's true, but... you're hiding something.
I was going to divorce him, okay?
I talked to a lawyer last Tuesday, two weeks ago.
Because of her?
I really believed he worked on Wall Street.
I didn't know he was a criminal until he was arrested.
I couldn't stay married to someone like that.
She's telling the truth.
She isn't the kind of person who would knowingly stay with a criminal.
What kind of person are you, Kimi?
Well, I l-- I loved Mark.
I was going to spend my life with him,
but I didn't want him dead.
She's telling the truth too.
Maybe you let it slip somehow. Maybe you wrote it down on a piece of paper and forgot.
When I gave Mark his phone, he told me to tell no one.
- You gave Mark the phone? - Yeah.
Back when he was in county, before he cut his deal.
You dumb little bitch.
What?
If someone knew that number, they could locate the phone. They would know where Mark was.
No one knew the number.
It was our private phone, so she couldn't find out about us.
Kimi.
I mean, sometimes he would take work calls...
on the phone...
from-- from Greene.
Mark dying was my fault.
[ Sobbing ]
I'm sorry.
You wrote up an incident report for the shooting, and you had me sign it.
No, I didn't.
She's nodding yes while she's saying no.
Well, that's not going to help Reynolds.
Hey, uh, did you guys close the case? Yeah.
F.B.I. is working to tie McLaughlin's murder to Greene.
Foster.
Ben, you never called.
[ Redatti ] I didn't know.
[ Ben ] You told me to stay undercover...
because the case against Greene was too important to lose.
If you had come to me with this, I would have done my job...
and you would not be in the mess that you're in now.
I'm sorry.
- She's lying. - Yes, she is.
When she denies that she knows anything, she's lying. When she says she's sorry, she means it.
She cares about Reynolds, but just not enough to tell the whole truth.
We need to up the stakes on her.
Make it more clear how her actions are affecting Reynolds.
- How much pull you got with the Justice Department? - Depends.
- What are you asking for? - I need you to call in a favor.
- I want to take a run at her. - She's not going to simply crack under pressure.
Under the right kind of pressure, she will.
[ Chattering, Laughing ]
From the gentleman there.
Hey. How you doin'?
Thank you. Oh, glad I could help.
You had a certain look about you. Oh, really?
What kind of a look?
Like a fox trying to outrun the hounds.
Bet that accent of yours gets you pretty far, doesn't it?
Well, you work with what you've got, right?
You're a beautiful woman. You know the game.
Well, where I work beauty is not an asset.
Well, I bet you handle your end of affairs quite nicely.
My affairs, yes.
Other people's, that's the nightmare.
That's the worst.
They screw up, and then they expect you to fix it.
There's just no sense of accountability...
or follow-through, self-reliance.
Or loyalty.
Mmm.
Buy me another?
Yeah, sure, love.
Excuse me. Can I get two this time? Of course.
I'm Sheila.
I'm Terry.
Nice to meet you.
Cheers. Cheers.
To the end of a long day.
Thank you.
You know, it sounds like a line.
Well, it is a line. [ Chuckles ]
Um, but I'm-- I-I think we've met somewhere before.
Tell me you don't work with the Bureau. No, Wall Street.
I think you know my boss.
He's going to trial in a few days.
Get your hands off me.
It's a shame Elliot Greene got caught with his hand in the jar.
It's lucky for him he's got friends like us.
Eh?
You have a nice night.
Hey! Stop.
Whoa. And here I was, thinking I'd ruined my chances.
What did you mean by Greene's lucky to have friends like us?
You saying you're not a friend of ours? What are you asking me?
Well, any friend of ours wouldn't take the stand against Greene.
I can arrest you for threatening to harm a federal agent.
Which makes me glad I did no such thing.
Don't touch him. I would never.
I saw him today. He's not even going to testify.
See, we heard different.
He cut a deal about an hour ago, so he forced our hands.
Night, love.
I'm not going to let anything bad happen to Reynolds, so call it off.
Wheels are in motion, love.
How does 20 years in federal prison sound?
Based on your experience with Greene, you think you could get me to trial?
I'm not afraid to go outside the system to get justice. That's interesting.
Sounds like you should be working with us.
You don't need to kill Reynolds.
I have information that can insure Greene becomes a free man.
Just promise me nothing happens to Ben.
You're playing for time, love.
You can have Greene's lawyer verify it in a manner of minutes.
All right.
Let Reynolds testify.
Question him about the murder of Scotty Villarosa.
Knock it off.
Everybody knows he killed Scotty. We told him where to bury the corpse.
But I never reported it. There's no record of it in the F.B.I. files.
Have Greene's lawyer ask Reynolds about the shooting.
He'll be discredited on the stand.
He'll look like a rogue agent and the whole case will collapse.
You don't need to kill him.

[ Click ] Anything else you want to add?
Among the many other atrocities this monster committed,
Elliot Greene held a 12-year-old girl hostage...
so her C.E.O. father would disclose his quarterly earnings a day early.
I'm sorry. What's your point?
I made a choice.
Oh, I see. And where did that choice leave a loyal agent, then?
If I had reported the shooting, they would have pulled him off the case...
and Greene would still be out there.
I realized last night, though, that I couldn't do anything...
that would cost you your life, Ben.
I'm so sorry.
It's a little late for that, isn't it?
I should remind you, you have the right to remain silent.
I was in charge, and I put the case before the interests of one person.
Hanging me out to dry wasn't about the case.
It was about advancing your career.
Which has obviously come to an end.
If I didn't do what I did, you'd have no case. You should be thanking me.
There will be an internal investigation, but you'll be cleared.
- You'll testify against Greene with our full support. - Thank you, sir.
- And, Dr. Lightman-- - You're welcome.
I could see the, uh-- the gratitude.
I'll see myself out. [ Door Opens, Closes ]
[ Whistles ] Oi, convict.
How'd you get in here?
I've got quite a reputation with the guards. They're terrified of me.
[ Chuckles ]
Yeah, as they should be.
You all right? Ah, you know.
Three hot meals, comfy bed. Nothing to do but read and watch TV.
You know, bein' a protected witness is kind of like bein' on vacation.
But I am ready to get back to work though.
Yeah, well, not long now, eh?
Yeah.
You know, officially you didn't do anything wrong.
How you feel about it, that's an entirely different matter.
You know, I keep thinking about Scotty's son.
His name's Mike. He's-- He's about 12 years old now.
And, uh, I used to take him to the Knick games sometimes.
He was a good kid.
I killed his father. Yeah, you did.
You made your choice, right?
Yeah.
Why didn't you just write me off?
I've been cut loose...
many times, you know, when the truth was inconvenient.
There was one person caught me on the way down.
That's a true friend. Yeah.
Yeah, she is.
Hey, look, uh, you know, they pulled me away so fast, I never got a chance to thank--
Oh, shut up.
[ Door Closes ]
Family doesn't need to stand on ceremony, all right?
Court's in session. It's time, Agent Reynolds.
All right. Here goes.
You'll get it done. That I will.
