00:00:00I'm not going to do a minute.
00:00:14I'm not going to do that.
00:00:17I'm not going to do that.
00:00:18I don't know.
00:00:19I don't know.
00:00:19I don't know.
00:00:19I don't know.
00:00:20I don't know.
00:00:21He's alive!
00:00:23Oh!
00:00:25Hey!
00:00:27What do you think?
00:00:29What do you think?
00:00:29Get in here.
00:00:52Police! Don't move!
00:01:00It was a sad state of affairs when getting caught in your dreams was actually some kind of relief.
00:01:11Something happens to you when you're facing the prospect of life in prison.
00:01:14You start seeing everything in sharper focus, with incredible texture and detail,
00:01:18like your brain is already trying to capture and catalogue the memory of everything you're about to lose.
00:01:27And then there's the way everyone else sees you.
00:01:33Somebody help you with fellas?
00:01:37Have a good day.
00:01:38Good morning, Mr. Cooper.
00:01:59Luddy?
00:02:03I was hoping I could talk to you for a second back at the office when you're done hitting.
00:02:07About what?
00:02:08Sorry?
00:02:10Well, I, uh, been a member of this club for about ten years.
00:02:14You've never asked me to hear office before, so I'm just wondering what it's about.
00:02:20Uh, I was hoping we could have this conversation in a more private setting.
00:02:25Why don't you just tell me what you came here to tell me, Luddy?
00:02:29Well, look, this is obviously a sensitive issue, and I'm sure you know how much we value your membership here
00:02:35at the club.
00:02:36Well, that's really nice to hear.
00:02:37The thing is, the board met.
00:02:39And...
00:02:41We feel it would be best if we suspended your membership, just until your current difficulties are resolved.
00:02:48I see.
00:02:49I'm really sorry about this, Coop.
00:02:51Tell me, which one of the club's bylaws did the board land on to give you the legal standing to
00:02:55kick me out?
00:02:56Come on, Coop. That's not what this is.
00:02:58Because, if I recall correctly, if I were to have committed any infractions, which I haven't,
00:03:02then the club would have to inform me in writing.
00:03:04And only after three such notices could they initiate the disciplinary proceedings to recommend my Oscar.
00:03:09You were arrested for murder.
00:03:11I didn't kill anyone.
00:03:13How do I know that?
00:03:16I sure guess you're right, Luddy.
00:03:19There's really no way of knowing.
00:03:21But if there's even the slightest chance that I'm a cold-blooded killer, do you think I am?
00:03:27Do you really want to be fucking with me right now?
00:03:32I'm gonna finish my bucket.
00:03:34Thanks, buddy.
00:03:34Thank you for this, guys.
00:03:51We'll see you tomorrow.
00:03:52Bye, Sam.
00:03:52I'm gonna start the episode of The Staring President-Con estatal.
00:03:58In the...
00:03:59You can't keep up with the Joneses
00:04:04Don't want to run for the roses
00:04:09I got my pocket opposing
00:04:15Sometimes I wonder why
00:04:17Sometimes I wonder why
00:04:19I just don't have the Joneses
00:04:25Don't want to smell their dying roses
00:04:30I got my pocket full of roses
00:04:35I don't keep up with the Joneses
00:05:01Mel!
00:05:05Hey, oh god
00:05:06Are we still in pain?
00:05:08Oh, you know, I'm on a steady Vicodin diet
00:05:10Oh, nice
00:05:12Percocet helps the Vicodin
00:05:14How about you?
00:05:18I've been better
00:05:20Yeah
00:05:21I got a secret today
00:05:23Thank you
00:05:28I have to say
00:05:30I was surprised when he texted me
00:05:33I'm wondering
00:05:36What you know
00:05:37What I know about what?
00:05:40I don't know
00:05:42Anything
00:05:44You're going to have to be a little more specific here
00:05:46Jesus, you're not going to pose, Barney
00:05:54What is this?
00:05:56It's a deed to your house
00:05:57He signed his half over to you
00:05:59I was going to drop it off
00:06:00But when he asked to meet
00:06:04He thinks he's going to jail
00:06:05He's playing defense
00:06:06Keeping the assets safe in your hands
00:06:08It's a smart thing to do
00:06:09If you think you're going to jail
00:06:12We're in uncharted territory here at Mel
00:06:14Oh my god, my kids
00:06:15Your kids will be fine, right?
00:06:16So will you
00:06:17If he goes to jail
00:06:19You have their college trust
00:06:20The retirement assets are only your name
00:06:22If you get in a pinch
00:06:23You can leverage the house with a HELOC
00:06:25Point is, you'll all be fine
00:06:34Something is going on with him
00:06:36I know it
00:06:36I know him
00:06:39Even from before Paul died
00:06:41I just
00:06:41I can't figure it out
00:06:43What's he been doing since he got fired?
00:06:46I told you about that
00:06:47Yes, but what isn't he telling you?
00:06:52Even if I knew
00:06:53I probably wouldn't tell you
00:06:54I'm trying to help him
00:06:55I think that ship has sailed, hasn't it?
00:06:58We both have to accept
00:06:59That the only person
00:07:00Who can help Coop right now
00:07:02Is Coop
00:07:10We gotta get out of here, right?
00:07:12Thank you
00:07:14Keep me posted
00:07:15You do the same
00:07:18Go!
00:07:26I know you
00:07:28Appreciate it
00:07:33I know you
00:07:34You know you
00:07:35I know you
00:07:36I showed you
00:07:36I know you
00:07:36So far
00:07:55I don't want to
00:08:04It's kind of a down vibe in this room.
00:08:07Anyone else feeling that?
00:08:10Allie.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:15I find in situations like this,
00:08:18it falls to the bipolar person in the room
00:08:20to get the conversation started.
00:08:23Now, I know this is a scary time.
00:08:25We're all thinking the same thing,
00:08:26so I'm just gonna go ahead and come out and say it.
00:08:31Yes, I've been having sex with my ex-fiance.
00:08:35I'm sorry, what now?
00:08:36I am sleeping with Bruce.
00:08:38Jesus Christ, Allie.
00:08:40Don't judge me, dude.
00:08:41I'm not judging you. It's just a terrible idea.
00:08:43Oh, and fucking Sam Levitt was genius?
00:08:45Do you mind?
00:08:47You think they don't know?
00:08:48You think there's anyone else left in this town who doesn't know?
00:08:51Are you off your meds?
00:08:52Why? I have to be off my meds in order to have sex?
00:08:55Are you off your meds?
00:08:57Yes.
00:08:57I have to be off my meds in order to have sex.
00:09:01Well, good sex at least.
00:09:04Why do you have to be off your meds to have good sex?
00:09:06Jesus Christ, Tori.
00:09:07It's a legit question.
00:09:11You want to chime in on this?
00:09:13Fuck no.
00:09:13Smart.
00:09:16I can't come on the meds.
00:09:17Oh.
00:09:18Oh, you're fucking kidding me.
00:09:19Well, I think we should talk about it.
00:09:21Your sex life.
00:09:22About the fact that you could go to prison.
00:09:31You won't talk about it.
00:09:33And there's a very good reason for that.
00:09:34What?
00:09:35Because I don't want to.
00:09:37Well, that is a solid choice, Andy.
00:09:40Where are you going?
00:09:41I'm going to have a gig.
00:09:42Is Bruce going to be there?
00:09:43No.
00:09:44He ghosted me.
00:09:46Asshole.
00:09:46Yeah.
00:09:48I'll see you later.
00:09:49Hey, no, wait.
00:09:50I want to come with you.
00:09:51Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:09:52Where is everybody going?
00:09:53Dad, I just want to see your play.
00:09:55Come on.
00:09:55Me too.
00:09:56Let's go.
00:09:59Yeah, great idea.
00:10:00Let's take the children to a bar.
00:10:03I want to be the girl with the most cake.
00:10:10He only loves those things because he loves to see them break.
00:10:15It's great.
00:10:16I'm thinking so real, I am beyond fake.
00:10:23And someday you will ache like I ache.
00:10:30And someday you will ache like I ache.
00:10:37And someday you will ache like I ache.
00:10:43And stop.
00:10:45I'm sorry.
00:10:46This song.
00:10:47Fuck.
00:10:52I was supposed to get married.
00:10:54Oh, boy.
00:10:55This was a long time ago.
00:10:57What was she doing?
00:10:58You know, whatever comes into her head.
00:11:01Anyway, his name is Bruce.
00:11:04Point is, I blew it.
00:11:08But because there's something wrong with me, with my brain.
00:11:14I'm not, you know, strictly speaking, okay.
00:11:20But lately I've been thinking that maybe Bruce isn't as okay as I thought he was.
00:11:26You know, because an okay person doesn't come back into your life and then ghost you.
00:11:30An okay person lets you give them back their whole live through this record that you managed to hold on
00:11:37to for like a fucking decade.
00:11:39The same decade, the same decade that you lost pretty much everything you ever had, except for you, Andy.
00:11:51You never let me go, not once.
00:12:00You saved my life.
00:12:03I just wish there was someone out there who would look out for you the same way you look out
00:12:06for me, because I know you could really use that right about now.
00:12:13Anyway, Bruce won't return my calls, and that is not okay.
00:12:20Yeah, I might be the crazy one, but he's the one with the wife and kids who decided to fuck
00:12:25his bipolar ex-fiancé in her nephew's bed.
00:12:28What?
00:12:29Oh, shit.
00:12:31I know it was messy, and it was wrong, but I thought it was honest and real.
00:12:37But now I know it was just using me.
00:12:43God, fuck that!
00:12:51I am not anyone's side piece.
00:12:53Fuck Bruce.
00:12:54Oh, okay.
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:58Yeah, fuck that guy!
00:13:00He doesn't deserve you.
00:13:01You're a babe.
00:13:02Fuck Bruce!
00:13:03That's right.
00:13:04Fuck Bruce!
00:13:05Fuck Bruce!
00:13:07Fuck Bruce!
00:13:10Fuck Bruce!
00:13:12Fuck Bruce!
00:13:25You know, you don't have to give me your bed, I could just sleep on the couch.
00:13:28Fine. I usually end up sleeping down there anyway.
00:13:31Well, if you say so.
00:13:34So that was something at the bar tonight, huh?
00:13:37Yeah, rock and roll.
00:13:38You okay?
00:13:40It's kind of a moving target.
00:13:49I could take my own pills.
00:13:50Can you?
00:13:51It's a free country.
00:13:55Look, Ally, I don't know what's gonna happen with me.
00:13:59It's not looking great.
00:14:03And I need to know that you're gonna be okay.
00:14:06And the kids, they're gonna need you.
00:14:12And me.
00:14:14Take your fucking meds.
00:14:18Please.
00:14:35Hey.
00:14:36Hey.
00:14:37Hey.
00:14:37You're coming together.
00:14:38Hey.
00:14:39Hey.
00:14:39Hi.
00:14:39Hey.
00:14:41Hey.
00:14:47Hey.
00:14:48Hey.
00:14:51Did you write that?
00:14:53Yeah, it's just something I'm working on.
00:14:57Impressive.
00:15:00Did you have fun tonight?
00:15:01Yeah, she's amazing.
00:15:05She's something.
00:15:09I want to show you something.
00:15:14It's his watch.
00:15:16I got this the year you were born.
00:15:20You were about three months old.
00:15:24Tori was three.
00:15:27And things were not going so great at work.
00:15:31And I was...
00:15:34kind of nervous that I had maybe bitten off a little more than I could chew.
00:15:38You know, I just brought these two beautiful children into the world.
00:15:41I was kind of wondering how I was going to provide for them, feed them, keep them safe, all that
00:15:48stuff.
00:15:49And then I walked by this jewelry store and saw this watch.
00:15:52And it was crazy expensive.
00:15:56And I knew your mother would kill me if I bought it.
00:15:59But I did.
00:16:01Just trying to feel fearless, you know, or feel what that felt like.
00:16:05You didn't fake it till you make it.
00:16:07You know what I mean?
00:16:12Anyway, I know you kids don't really wear watches these days, but maybe some do you will, so I wanted
00:16:17you to have it.
00:16:27Yeah, I do the same thing sometimes.
00:16:29What?
00:16:31You know, fake it till you make it.
00:16:34Right.
00:16:34Well, one of these days you're going to realize pretty much everybody in the world is doing that.
00:16:38And that's when things get truly terrifying.
00:16:42Put it on.
00:16:48Hmm.
00:16:49Look at there.
00:16:51I like it.
00:16:53Good.
00:16:53We'll get it sized up for you.
00:16:58Want me to close this?
00:16:59Uh, yeah.
00:17:00Night, bud.
00:17:02Night.
00:17:03Night.
00:17:08Night.
00:17:25Come in.
00:17:29Hey.
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:31How's it going in here?
00:17:33All good.
00:17:40So, earlier at dinner when Allie said we should be talking about it, should we be talking about it?
00:17:48Did you do it?
00:17:50Did I kill Paul Levitt?
00:17:52No, I didn't.
00:17:55Congratulations.
00:17:56We talked about it.
00:18:00Okay.
00:18:06Night.
00:18:09Good night.
00:18:16Well, it's hit.
00:18:17You beat him.
00:18:19You're right.
00:18:20It's not enough.
00:18:25It's close.
00:18:29Okay, guys.
00:18:30Take this place apart fast.
00:18:32You pick up your splits from Eddie and Moudros.
00:18:34Night.
00:18:35Night.
00:18:35Night.
00:18:40Night.антis.
00:20:21Coop, what are you doing here?
00:20:23Tell me about this plea deal.
00:20:28We plead down to manslaughter.
00:20:30Okay, normally that would mean ten years, but the DA is looking for a quick win, so I think I
00:20:34could close them at eight.
00:20:35Eight years?
00:20:36We'd be out in six.
00:20:38And you make that sound like it's nothing.
00:20:40You're measuring it against 25 to life.
00:20:44Look, if you want to go to trial, I will do everything I can to take their case apart.
00:20:48But you're not optimistic.
00:20:49They've got motive, opportunity, forensic evidence, and that goddamn gun was in your car.
00:20:54Under the best of circumstances, a trial is risky.
00:20:57In this case...
00:20:57Yeah, I've spent the last 20 years of my life hedging against risk.
00:21:00The plea bargain is your hedge.
00:21:02It's not a way out, but it's a way through.
00:21:04Does anyone care that I'm innocent?
00:21:06No.
00:21:09Jesus, my kids.
00:21:11Yeah, it's a terrible choice to face.
00:21:14Well, it's not really a choice, is it?
00:21:24Okay.
00:21:26Okay what?
00:21:28Set the meeting.
00:21:30Okay.
00:21:45Hi.
00:21:49Hi.
00:21:50Um, I'm Mel.
00:21:51I'm Hunter's mom.
00:21:53This is Morgan.
00:21:55Hi, Morgan.
00:21:56Oh, Morgan.
00:21:56Morgan Adderall.
00:21:58Morgan.
00:21:59Mom.
00:22:00Sorry.
00:22:01No, it's fine.
00:22:02Um, will you be staying for dinner?
00:22:05No, no thanks.
00:22:05I should, I should head home.
00:22:07Are you sure?
00:22:07I was gonna whip up some veggie burgers.
00:22:10It's fine.
00:22:10I, I'm gonna go in a few minutes.
00:22:13What you got on your wrist?
00:22:15Just a watch, Dad gave me.
00:22:17Dad gave you his Daytona?
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20Why would he do that?
00:22:22I don't know.
00:22:27Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:35Hi.
00:22:35Can I come in?
00:22:37Sure.
00:22:42Uh, what's up?
00:22:45You've never come in here before.
00:22:47I'm sorry it's so messy.
00:22:48Allie is a challenge.
00:22:51Why'd you give Hunter your Daytona?
00:22:52Because I have other watches.
00:22:54Do you want a beer?
00:22:54No, I don't want a beer.
00:22:55I want you to promise me you're not going to jail.
00:22:58Okay, I'm, I'm doing what I can, all right?
00:22:59What does that mean?
00:23:00You're innocent.
00:23:01And yet, you're signing over your half the house to me?
00:23:05Giving away your prized possessions?
00:23:06It's an old watch.
00:23:07Do not do that.
00:23:08If you've ever loved me, don't bullshit me right now.
00:23:12It's not looking great.
00:23:16We might be looking at a plea deal.
00:23:18What kind of deal?
00:23:20Manslaughter.
00:23:22I could be out in six years.
00:23:23Are you kidding?
00:23:26Six years?
00:23:27If I lose a trial, it could be the rest of my life.
00:23:28Why would you lose?
00:23:29You didn't kill him.
00:23:30Because that's not how the world works, Mel.
00:23:34God damn it!
00:23:37In the real world, nothing is guaranteed.
00:23:40Do you understand?
00:23:41You take your fucking eye off the ball for one second and everything changes.
00:23:45You lose your house.
00:23:46Your kids are like strangers in your own home.
00:23:49You lose your wife.
00:23:50You lose yourself.
00:23:54Okay, listen to me.
00:23:57Maggie's dad plays golf with David Gelson.
00:24:00He's the biggest defense attorney in the country.
00:24:02He's had incredible success negating DNA evidence with medical experts.
00:24:06She said she can get you a meeting with him.
00:24:08She is just going to do the same thing that Kat is doing.
00:24:11You don't know that.
00:24:12Jesus Christ.
00:24:13You want Tori and Hunter to visit you in prison?
00:24:18You want them to be known as the kids whose dad went away for murder because that will destroy them.
00:24:21You think I don't know that?
00:24:22Well, then do something about it.
00:24:23I'm trying!
00:24:24Try harder, you selfish fuck!
00:24:31God.
00:24:35There was a moment when you gave up on us.
00:24:39No, I don't remember when it was, but I'm pretty sure it was the exact same moment you should have
00:24:44been fighting like hell.
00:24:48Well, I'm not blaming you, I gave up too, we both did, we fucking failed, Coop, and we're always going
00:24:54to have to live with that, but this right now is another one of those moments, and I'm telling you,
00:25:01I'm begging you, don't be the guy who gives up at the exact moment you should be fighting with everything
00:25:07you have.
00:25:08No, you don't.
00:25:33So, I just got off at the DA, and after some hemming and hawing, I think it's going to be
00:25:38the deal we were hoping for.
00:25:40Is that right?
00:25:42Look, I know it sucks, but the circumstances being what they are...
00:25:46The circumstances seem to be that my lawyer is suggesting I go to jail for a crime that I didn't
00:25:50commit.
00:25:50I'm presenting that option, yes.
00:25:52In the interim, we'll have our investigators looking into the case to see what the police might have missed, which,
00:25:57given the department's size and lack of resources, could be significant.
00:26:00I can't take this deal.
00:26:03If you think I'm not doing my level best for you because of how you hired...
00:26:07It has nothing to do with that.
00:26:08Nothing.
00:26:11I'm thinking of your family, Coop.
00:26:12So am I.
00:26:13And what does taking this deal say to them?
00:26:17That you love them enough to sacrifice...
00:26:18That I am guilty.
00:26:20No, I'm guilty of a lot of things, but I am not guilty of this.
00:26:25No deals.
00:26:27Coop?
00:26:27No deals.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:33If that's your decision, then that's what we'll do.
00:26:37But you're going to have to give me some more to work with.
00:26:39Let's start at the beginning.
00:26:41Why was your DNA at the scene?
00:26:45I was over there all the time.
00:26:46We were in a relationship.
00:26:48What'd you lie about?
00:26:49So did she.
00:26:50Why isn't anyone looking harder at her?
00:26:54These are Sam's phone records.
00:26:55Okay?
00:26:56Cell phone towers confirmed she was in Boston the night Paul was killed.
00:26:59Her parents verified it.
00:27:00They've got photos from Henry's birthday party.
00:27:02She could have hired somebody to kill him.
00:27:04And that someone could have been you.
00:27:07They were going through a nasty divorce.
00:27:09You're having money problems.
00:27:10You were lovers.
00:27:11I mean, you can see how that might play.
00:27:14Why am I not in here?
00:27:15What?
00:27:16We called and texted all the time.
00:27:19My number's not in here.
00:27:23What number do you have for her?
00:27:25A second phone.
00:27:27That's right.
00:27:28She could have left one in Boston.
00:27:29It's a burner number and some faceless sexting pics.
00:27:31That could be anyone's breasts, not exactly a smoking gun.
00:27:34Come on.
00:27:34They're Sam's breasts.
00:27:35To which I say, so what?
00:27:37You confirmed her alibi with the wrong cell phone number.
00:27:40We verified the account.
00:27:41And we got cooperation from both of her parents.
00:27:43Because what parents ever lie for their daughter?
00:27:45They weren't lying.
00:27:46Well, neither am I.
00:27:47Remind me, Officer Hernandez, how many murder cases have you worked?
00:27:50Okay, listen, lady.
00:27:51Don't call me, lady.
00:27:51Can you prove that the other number belongs to Samantha Lovell?
00:27:56I'm sorry, isn't that your job?
00:27:57We can't run every number we feel like.
00:28:00We're required to go to a judge to get a warrant.
00:28:02Your attorney knows that.
00:28:03Then go do that.
00:28:04If I had the actual phone, then I could tie it to her,
00:28:06and then I could make a case to get the warrant.
00:28:08But I don't.
00:28:09My client's life is on the line.
00:28:12Do your damn job.
00:28:15Let's go.
00:28:16We're leaving?
00:28:17Yeah.
00:28:19Hey.
00:28:25Well, hey, we gotta find that phone.
00:28:27We just made our plan on the phone.
00:28:28It was a dead end.
00:28:29So what?
00:28:30That's it?
00:28:32Even if we had the phone,
00:28:33it would only be meaningful
00:28:34if Sam was the one who killed Paul,
00:28:36and I don't believe she killed him
00:28:37any more than I believe you did.
00:28:38Well, then why didn't Sam offer up
00:28:39this other phone in the first place?
00:28:41For the same reason you both lied about being involved.
00:28:45Look, I'll run it by our investigators,
00:28:46but odds are that phone is long gone.
00:28:48Just take this.
00:28:51Hey.
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:57Uh, no, I haven't gotten the files yet.
00:29:15Elena.
00:29:16Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:29:17What the fuck?
00:29:17I need to talk to you, all right?
00:29:19I'm sorry.
00:29:19I was gonna call,
00:29:20but I didn't want to call, so...
00:29:21That's a good instinct.
00:29:22Maybe you should go with...
00:29:22Fine, fine, fine.
00:29:23I just, I just...
00:29:23I just need your help.
00:29:25Please.
00:29:26Why would I help you?
00:29:27I don't know.
00:29:27For starters,
00:29:28how about the hundred grand and change
00:29:29that you stole from me?
00:29:32Well, I didn't want anybody else to find it
00:29:34in case you didn't get out, you know?
00:29:35That's kind of a lame apology.
00:29:36I needed that money.
00:29:37All right, look, I...
00:29:38And you know that.
00:29:38I know, I'm sorry.
00:29:39Things have gotten a little bit crazy, but...
00:29:40They arrested you for murder.
00:29:42Like I said, but look...
00:29:43Did you do it?
00:29:43Did you kill him?
00:29:44Of course not.
00:29:44Of course not.
00:29:45I don't know.
00:29:45The body was there when I got there, okay?
00:29:47Oh, so you were there.
00:29:48Jesus Christ.
00:29:50Just go away, Coop.
00:29:58Ow!
00:30:00What the fuck?
00:30:03You broke my door.
00:30:06Sorry about that.
00:30:08You okay?
00:30:10God, it's harder than it looks.
00:30:12Well, sir, you're right.
00:30:17What were you doing at Sam's house?
00:30:20What do you think?
00:30:22You didn't call me.
00:30:23We're supposed to be partners.
00:30:25Well, because I knew that if I told you,
00:30:27you'd tell me it was fucked up.
00:30:28And I would have been right.
00:30:30Mom and your girlfriend.
00:30:32It's fucked up.
00:30:33Well, to be fair, she had already dumped me,
00:30:35so we're in kind of a gray area.
00:30:42Come on.
00:30:47So, are you going to help me or what?
00:30:50Paul.
00:30:53Melina, hi.
00:30:54Hi, Nieces Levitt.
00:30:56I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:30:58I can't tell you how much I appreciate you offering to help me out.
00:31:01It was just so traumatic for Esperanza to find Paul like that.
00:31:05And I just, I told her to just, you know,
00:31:06take all the time that she needs.
00:31:08So, you know, the cops have been in everything.
00:31:12Are you sure that Nick doesn't mind losing you for the day?
00:31:14Oh.
00:31:15Nick's not home very much these days.
00:31:17Right.
00:31:20I'm running out to do some errands.
00:31:22I'll be gone for a few hours.
00:31:23You finding everything okay?
00:31:25Yes, Miss Levitt.
00:31:26I'm good.
00:31:26Okay.
00:31:27I'll see you later.
00:31:27Thank you again.
00:31:28My pleasure.
00:31:44How'd it go?
00:31:45Well, good.
00:31:46We have a few hours.
00:31:47All right.
00:31:47Let's get going.
00:31:49What makes you think that she hasn't gotten rid of this phone?
00:31:51Because it's my only shot.
00:31:56You start upstairs.
00:32:22Harry's burgers?
00:32:25I keep telling them to put the sauce on the side,
00:32:28but it's like shattering into the void.
00:32:29The sauce, that's your specialty.
00:32:31Yeah, but it makes me mess with my burger.
00:32:33And your desk.
00:32:37What do you got for me?
00:32:38Updated ME report came in on Paul Levitt.
00:32:41Sounded like a TV cop.
00:32:43You didn't open it?
00:32:44It was addressed to you.
00:32:46You're gonna get ketchup on it.
00:32:50It's on your fingers.
00:32:52Shut up.
00:32:52All right.
00:32:59Something in there?
00:33:00Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:03What the hell does that mean?
00:33:04Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:05Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:14Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:18Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:20Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:22Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:23Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:23Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:24Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:24Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:24Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:26Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.
00:33:27Two of the three gunshots were post-mortem.

00:34:56Like, I don't know what you're talking about right now,
00:34:58but you need to leave.
00:34:59Then you must have shot his dead body.
00:35:02Try to make it look like a murderer.
00:35:05You've lost your mind.
00:35:07Remember this?
00:35:11Dear Sam, I made a terrible mistake.
00:35:13There are no words to express to you how sorry I am
00:35:15for taking you for granted,
00:35:16breaking up our marriage and breaking up our family.
00:35:20I have failed you as a husband and a man,
00:35:22and if nothing else, just know that it was not because
00:35:24I didn't love you. I did more than anything,
00:35:26which is what makes this so excruciatingly painful for me.
00:35:29I love you.
00:35:31Paul.
00:35:35Heartfelt kind of makes it about himself at the end.
00:35:37Very Paul.
00:35:38You broke into my house?
00:35:39You planted a gun in my car.
00:35:41I think we're gonna call it even.
00:35:42I'm guessing that Paul's life insurance policy
00:35:45had a no suicide clause?
00:35:51In spite of his countless wonderful attributes,
00:35:55turns out Paul was really bad with money.
00:35:58I didn't get the full picture until the divorce.
00:36:02I was gonna come out with a lot less than I counted on.
00:36:06This is what happens.
00:36:08You were the hot girl in high school,
00:36:10but six years later you were a waitress
00:36:11because the stepping stone became a boulder.
00:36:14You start fucking your boss.
00:36:16Maybe you're looking for job security,
00:36:18or maybe you're just bored.
00:36:21Then one day he asks you to marry him.
00:36:23You didn't see that coming,
00:36:25but what you do see is a big comfortable home,
00:36:27financial security,
00:36:29and a chance to finally quiet the voice in your head
00:36:31that never stops asking what comes next.
00:36:37You move into an exclusive hamlet you've never heard of
00:36:40called Westmont Village.
00:36:41You're from South Boston.
00:36:43You don't know from villages.
00:36:44You meet the other wives and devote yourself
00:36:46to losing the last traces of your Southie accent
00:36:49and learning how to shop for torn jeans
00:36:50that cost more than a month's rent in your old apartment.
00:36:54And then those jeans start getting tighter,
00:36:56and nine months later, baby number one.
00:36:59You may not have planned it,
00:37:00but you stopped believing in plans
00:37:02around the same time you started fucking Paul.
00:37:04And you love this little boy like you've never loved anyone.
00:37:07So a few years later, you have another one.
00:37:10And for a while there,
00:37:12you have a family and friends and life feels complete.
00:37:14That voice in your head still speaks up from time to time,
00:37:17but it's nothing a little Xanax and Whispering Angel can't fix.
00:37:21And so through a colossal failure of imagination and low self-esteem,
00:37:25you convince yourself you're happy
00:37:27in the same way all of your friends and neighbors seem to be.
00:37:30A few years later,
00:37:32Paul has left you for a younger version of you.
00:37:36Coop is everything Paul isn't.
00:37:38He's handsome and sexy and funny,
00:37:41and he will never really love you.
00:37:44It turns out even the princes are just frogs
00:37:46in Brunello Cuccinelli polo shirts.
00:37:49So you go running back to mommy and daddy in Boston.
00:37:52You just need a break from all of it.
00:37:54And that voice in your head is back,
00:37:56screaming that you'll lose everything
00:37:58and be cast out of this promised land in disgrace.
00:38:03And then Paul,
00:38:05high on a dangerous brew of whiskey and antipsychotics,
00:38:08breaks into your house,
00:38:09the same house he moved out of to go fuck the waitress.
00:38:12Give us a chance.
00:38:13Please, baby.
00:38:14I'm never going to get back together with you.
00:38:16I want to see you.
00:38:16I promise when you wake up,
00:38:18you'll remember how much you hate me.
00:38:19And, you know, all women over 30.
00:38:21Are you in my house?
00:38:22What the fuck are you doing in my house?
00:38:24I wrote you a note.
00:38:25What are you talking about?
00:38:30Wait, wait, wait, wait, Paul.
00:38:31I'm right here.
00:38:32I swear to God.
00:38:33Put the gun down.
00:38:34I swear to God.
00:38:34Just put the gun down.
00:38:39And that's when your husband of 15 years
00:38:41blows his brains out on FaceTime.
00:38:43Paul.
00:38:45Paul, pick up the phone.
00:38:47Paul, pick up the phone.
00:38:56Paul has 20 million in life insurance.
00:38:58You know this because he redid the policy last year.
00:39:02That's how you know it could still be nullified by suicide.
00:39:10For the next three or four hours,
00:39:12you don't stop moving.
00:39:14Because you know if you do,
00:39:16you'll lose your nerve.
00:39:18You started using a burner phone
00:39:20because your regular phone is still on Paul's plan
00:39:22and the last thing you needed
00:39:23was that jealous maniac finding out about Coop.
00:39:26And right now, that burner phone is going to come in handy.
00:39:44The bottom line is you can't let it be suicide.
00:40:04Okay.
00:40:26You know here.
00:40:46Even dead, he found a way to blow all our money.
00:40:51I couldn't let him do that to us.
00:40:53You could have gone to the police.
00:40:54Told them the truth.
00:40:55That life insurance was my children's future.
00:40:57So you just decided to throw mine away.
00:41:00You should have been kinder to me.
00:41:02This is my life.
00:41:04You don't deserve it.
00:41:07You and all the other smug money guys, you walk around like such big shots.
00:41:12Like having all this money is proof of something when it was all just handed to you.
00:41:16I had to let that sweaty fuck climb on top of me every night for years.
00:41:22I suffered indignity after indignity just to be here.
00:41:26To have this.
00:41:27For my kids and for me.
00:41:30And I was going to lose it.
00:41:31All because Paul couldn't keep his money in the bank and his dick in his pants.
00:41:39The sad thing is, you have no idea how much I know how you feel.
00:41:47I do.
00:41:49And you're right.
00:41:50I should have been kinder to you.
00:41:53And I'm sorry for that.
00:41:55But I'm not going to jail for you.
00:41:57Wait.
00:41:58We need to talk about this.
00:42:00Pretty sure we just did.
00:42:02Coop.
00:42:04Coop.
00:42:10Jesus, when the fuck did everybody start getting guns around here?
00:42:14Someone needs to have killed him.
00:42:15You can't be serious.
00:42:16You broke into my house.
00:42:17You attacked me.
00:42:18I defended myself against the man who killed my husband.
00:42:23You just forgot one thing.
00:42:27What's that?
00:42:28You're not a killer either.
00:42:32Coop.
00:42:37In a town where nothing and no one was what they seemed,
00:42:41it kind of made sense that a murder wasn't actually a murder.
00:42:51It was strange to feel sorry for the woman who had framed me for murder.
00:42:56You're right.
00:43:00But Sam was just trying to hold on to what was hers.
00:43:04And no one understood that better than me.
00:43:08We'd all bought into the same dream, the promise of suburban paradise.
00:43:11And we were all tricked into believing that once we got there, it was ours to keep.
00:43:16Our big, solid houses made it feel like we'd grabbed ourselves a small piece of forever.
00:43:21But you didn't have to dig too deep to find the rot and the foundations.
00:43:25It was all just an elaborate illusion where the magician and audience were one and the same.
00:43:30And sometimes it was hard to tell what was real and what was just smoke and mirrors.
00:43:47And then there were times when it wasn't hard at all.
00:44:05Get in here.
00:44:07Get in here.
00:44:25I know you're going to want to punish him, but close the deal first.
00:44:28You know how much must have killed him to have to call you?
00:44:30Mm-hmm.
00:44:31If he loses Luenberg or the dominoes will start to fall, he knows he's fucked.
00:44:35I mean, the numbers alone are just...
00:44:36Yeah, I know the numbers.
00:44:36Right.
00:44:37Sorry.
00:44:40Huh.
00:44:41You pulled Walter all the way down from Vermont.
00:44:43I'm telling you.
00:44:46Okay.
00:44:56Bailey Ann Russell in the same room.
00:44:59I'm honored.
00:45:00Nice to see you, coach.
00:45:02I'm not going to apologize.
00:45:03You were getting too big for your britches.
00:45:04I'm not here for an apology.
00:45:06Good.
00:45:06Let's get down to it.
00:45:07As Miss Cross told you, we've hit a wall with Luenberger since you left.
00:45:11No matter who I throw at it, they keep running back with their tails between their legs.
00:45:16Swiss fuckers only deal with you.
00:45:18You must give a hell of a blowjob.
00:45:22Well, we'll put you back in your seat, back pay you, add in a generous signing bonus, structured any way
00:45:28you like, it'll be like you were never gone.
00:45:31But I was gone.
00:45:32But I was gone.
00:45:32Walter Jack had me marched out in front of all those people.
00:45:36Oh, come on, Coop.
00:45:37You think there's anyone out there who doesn't know I'm an asshole?
00:45:40Trust me, you come out of this smelling like a fucking rose.
00:45:43I want 20% on Luenberger and 25% overall profit share.
00:45:46Fuck you.
00:45:4712% of the Swiss, 15% of the profit share once they start bringing in fresh capital in-house.
00:45:53Well, Luenberger bows up, Hellman gets spooked, the Texas oil family starts smelling blood in the water,
00:45:58the redemptions come in faster than you can cover them, this place will go up in smoke.
00:46:02And your capital account goes with us.
00:46:05You'll lose everything.
00:46:06I've already lost everything.
00:46:0820% of the Swiss, 25% overall.
00:46:11I'm afraid you don't understand how a negotiation works.
00:46:14I'm not negotiating.
00:46:16Fuck you!
00:46:16Fuck you!
00:46:18This is my fucking company!
00:46:20It's not yours if you can't keep it.
00:46:26Okay, 20 and 25, conditional on you delivering the Swiss.
00:46:30Immediately, you and Jack fly to Switzerland tonight.
00:46:34I got a thing tonight.
00:46:35Jet leaves from Teterboro at 11 tonight.
00:46:38Mary will text you with the tail number.
00:46:39You and I can talk details on the plane.
00:46:42Do we have a deal?
00:46:49Sure.
00:47:14You're just too marvellous, too marvellous for words like glorious, glamorous, and I'll stand by amorous.
00:47:27The Gutenberg Cancer Gala raises millions every year for cancer research.
00:47:31I'll never find the words to say enough.
00:47:35Peter and Diane Miller had been chairing it for years, pressuring us all to buy tables and lottery tickets.
00:47:40And over time, it had become one of the biggest annual events on the Westchester social calendar.
00:47:44Being seen here told everyone that you were generous, the kind of generous that takes big bucks.
00:47:49And so the cause of medical science was advanced through the twin forces of social pressure and peacocking.
00:47:54You do not know how relieved we are that you were exonerated.
00:47:58Not that we ever believe that you did it.
00:48:01Oh, that didn't come out right, shit.
00:48:03I don't know how to talk about this.
00:48:05None of us do.
00:48:06So how about we just stop trying?
00:48:08Okay.
00:48:09There's the idea.
00:48:10Hi.
00:48:11Oh, thank you.
00:48:12To be euphemistical, to be eulogistical.
00:48:15I'd have to come up with a million words I never thought I knew.
00:48:18I'd rather be logical.
00:48:18You look fantastic.
00:48:20Holy cow.
00:48:22Oh, now this is a welcome sight.
00:48:24Oh, thank you.
00:48:25Look at you.
00:48:27A minute.
00:48:28Yeah, yeah.
00:48:29Great table.
00:48:30Good table.
00:48:31How are you?
00:48:32Where's Barney?
00:48:33Where do you think?
00:48:34Oh, okay.
00:48:34Right.
00:48:34Of course.
00:48:36He is.
00:48:37He is.
00:48:38Ooh.
00:48:38Table 10.
00:48:39Hi, sis.
00:48:41How are you?
00:48:42I'll be right back.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:45Hi, buddy.
00:48:48Well, aren't you the belle of the ball?
00:48:51Yeah, nothing like beating your murder rap to give you a social boost.
00:48:54Congratulations on not being a murderer.
00:49:02So, when you meet with Jack?
00:49:04I already did.
00:49:05You already did.
00:49:07And you don't call me.
00:49:08Well, I knew I'd see you here.
00:49:10Fuck you.
00:49:11So, what'd he say?
00:49:11It was a compelling offer.
00:49:14How compelling?
00:49:16I'm thinking about it.
00:49:17You think you do?
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:18Yeah, by all means.
00:49:19Let's take our time with this.
00:49:21You know, you don't want to reclaim all that income, mine included, without really mulling
00:49:24it over.
00:49:25Cool.
00:49:26Hey.
00:49:26Hey.
00:49:27I'm so happy to see you, man.
00:49:28I never doubted you for one second.
00:49:30Hey, let's get this man some drinks, huh?
00:49:32I've got one.
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:34What's your point?
00:49:34We need McAllen over here, all right?
00:49:40Excuse me, guys.
00:49:41Yeah.
00:49:43Hi, guys.
00:49:44Hello.
00:49:45Hello.
00:49:46Hi.
00:49:47Welcome.
00:49:47Thanks for coming.
00:49:49Mel.
00:49:50You look so good.
00:49:51Hello, Amanda.
00:49:52Hi.
00:49:53Nice to meet you.
00:49:54Nice to meet you.
00:49:54Nice to meet you.
00:49:55Nice to meet you.
00:49:57You guys are great.
00:49:57There's no one in the place, except you and me.
00:50:07So, set em up, Joe.
00:50:11Um, there's the Curtis this night.
00:50:14Hi.
00:50:15Hi.
00:50:21You okay?
00:50:23Fine.
00:50:28Forget about the tennis team.
00:50:32Got a whole other year to worry about, for instance.
00:50:39Would you want to work with a professional tennis coach?
00:50:43You're my coach.
00:50:45Just saying, I don't have to be.
00:50:48I'm saying, yes, you do.
00:50:52Hey.
00:50:56Thanks.
00:50:59Looks like our little man's got some game.
00:51:07What about you?
00:51:08Are you seeing anyone?
00:51:09Oh, I don't know.
00:51:10Um, I was.
00:51:12It's complicated.
00:51:13Hmm.
00:51:15I can be a lot.
00:51:17It's okay to be a lot.
00:51:19He can't handle it?
00:51:21Fuck him.
00:51:21Yeah.
00:51:23Fuck him.
00:51:24Yeah.
00:51:28Okay, I gotta go.
00:51:30Oh.
00:51:31But you just got here.
00:51:32It's the best time to leave.
00:51:34Oh.
00:51:36Okay.
00:51:37See you later.
00:51:38Use a condom.
00:51:51Hey.
00:51:52Hey.
00:51:53Okay to join you?
00:51:54Of course, yeah.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:57Oh, okay.
00:52:01I've been trying to get in touch with you nuts.
00:52:03I know.
00:52:03I know.
00:52:04I just needed a little time.
00:52:06Of course.
00:52:11I'm so sorry.
00:52:15You deserve so much better.
00:52:18Yeah, I did.
00:52:20But I did it to myself.
00:52:25I fell in love with a woman who was in love with someone else.
00:52:31What are you talking about?
00:52:37Nothing.
00:52:37I don't know that.
00:52:46Oh.
00:52:52I'm sorry.
00:52:55I'm sorry.
00:52:58I just need to get a dog, right?
00:53:00I'm sorry.
00:53:04I'm sorry.
00:53:07I've been scared.
00:53:07I'm sorry.
00:53:07I didn't even know.
00:53:09Don't think, don't think you think she's coming.
00:53:13Take it away.
00:53:14Well, wait a minute.
00:53:16No, you're stuck with me.
00:53:20Wow.
00:53:25You look good.
00:53:28You're only saying that because it's true.
00:53:35How did all that go?
00:53:38Seems I've been forgiven.
00:53:40Hmm.
00:53:42He's a better man than me.
00:53:44Obviously.
00:53:48Either way, I think I'm gonna fly solo for a while.
00:53:52Huh.
00:53:53You and me both.
00:53:57Speaking of which, I saw Sam out shopping the other day.
00:54:01Like, none of this ever happened.
00:54:04Well, I mean, she didn't kill the guy.
00:54:09And she hadn't filed the insurance claim yet, so technically there was no fraud.
00:54:15I bet her attorney gets her off with community service, fine.
00:54:21Even though she was gonna send you to prison.
00:54:25She had her reasons.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:28Hurry, you forgive.
00:54:31It took you two years to forgive me.
00:54:35I wasn't in love, Sarah.
00:54:49This is where I leave you.
00:54:54I haven't even served dinner.
00:54:56That's the best time to leave.
00:55:02Hey.
00:55:04Try to stay out of trouble?
00:55:13Yeah.
00:55:14See you back.
00:55:14Okay.
00:55:15Oh, green man.
00:55:16Look at this guy.
00:55:17Haha.
00:55:27Jules.
00:55:28Hey, Coop.
00:55:29We were so happy to hear that you were cleared.
00:55:32I mean, we never believed it, but still.
00:55:35Yeah, I heard they had you down for murder one in the pool.
00:55:40You know me.
00:55:42I like to play the long shot.
00:55:45Well, I guess I caught myself lucky you didn't have the inside track.
00:55:49You know, like you did with the SATs.
00:55:52What are you talking about?
00:55:54Well, I know you thought you were careful, but...
00:55:57Word gets around.
00:56:00And if word were to continue to get around to the right people,
00:56:04Chelsea would be lucky to get into community college.
00:56:07How can you possibly know that?
00:56:11You can't know that.
00:56:13You're out of your depth here, Jules.
00:56:16There's nothing worse than someone who doesn't know what they don't know,
00:56:19and you don't know shit.
00:56:22So you have all the colleges in America to choose from,
00:56:25but she's not going to Princeton.
00:56:28Are you threatening me?
00:56:30Goddamn right of hand.
00:56:31Goddamn.
00:56:56Thank you, sir.
00:57:24This is what happens.
00:57:25You work your ass off to build the life you think you want.
00:57:30And then one day someone takes it away from you.
00:57:33And that's when you learn that there's a world of difference
00:57:35between working hard and fighting for your life.
00:57:39You've never had to fight before.
00:57:41You don't even know if you know how.
00:57:42But then you do it.
00:57:43And to your own great surprise, you win.
00:57:45And it should feel sweet.
00:57:47It should feel like redemption and validation and victory all at once.
00:57:50But something's changed.
00:57:52You can see your old life in front of you there for the taking.
00:57:55And it would be so easy to jump right back onto that hamster wheel and start running again.
00:57:59You like you don't even see me, man.
00:58:00You do it.
00:58:02It's all right.
00:58:02It's all right after the storm is friendly.
00:58:04I be allowed to bear.
00:58:08I love you, man.
00:58:09You fight.
00:58:10You don't give a fuck.
00:58:12Yeah, I'm going to love you.
00:58:14I'm gonna love you.
00:58:17You're a girl.
00:58:27You're a girl.
00:58:29and being angry at the world
00:58:31and trying to save everyone you love,
00:58:33you will have to look in the mirror
00:58:34and ask yourself if you can really go back
00:58:36to being who you were.
00:58:42Because the hard truth is,
00:58:43once you've seen the chaos behind the curtain,
00:58:46you can never really watch the show the same way again.
00:58:54But right now,
00:58:56right now,
00:58:59it's time to get back to work.
00:59:05It's time to get back to work.
00:59:51It's time to get back to work.
00:59:53It's time to get back to work.
00:59:57It's time to get back to work.
00:59:59It's time to get back to work.
01:00:01It's time to get back to work.
01:00:10It's time to get back to work.
01:00:46It's time to get back to work.
01:01:01It's time to get back to work.
01:01:09It's time to get back to work.
01:01:22It's time to get back to work.
01:01:27It's time to get back to work.
01:01:29It's time to get back to work.
01:01:30It's time to get back to work.
