Damages

Previously on Damages...

Bloody, half naked, wandering the streets at 7:00 a.m.

Just your type.

All we found on her was this.

"Hollis M. Nye, Attorney-at-Law."

I want to help you, Ellen, 'cause I know you didn't do it.

I am Catherine's legal guardian.

To get custody, you're going to

have to prove that I perpetrated fraud.

The fraud you perpetrated was convincing the

state you were a fit mother.

We'll get you a list of our witnesses.

I thought about you when you were gone.

I'm not really in the... best state of mind these days.

Whenever you feel like it-- if you ever feel like

it and you're interested, I'm here.

She wants to get out

from under my shadow, but she'll never be able to.

I've always wanted to find a woman who could step into my shoes.

I am offering you my hand, Ellen.

You chose winning over everything-- your husband,

your son, me.

All you have in your life is your next case.

I'm not interested.

You are an ungrateful

child and you are in for a rude awakening.

Our list of witnesses.

I need that research, Bill.

Got it right here.

Good afternoon, Ms. Hewes.

You're sitting in Grandma's chair.

Well, you can get off now.

Get off Mommy's chair.

You're not my mommy.

And you're not the one who's supposed to be there.

You're no one's mommy.

Get off.

You're no one's mommy.

Get off.

You're no one's mommy.

Get the fuck off!

Patty.

Patty.

You all right?

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

This real estate contact told me

that Ellen has recently pulled

the trigger on a new office, and

word is that a few clients have

approached her, and she turned them all down.

Of course she did.

She's waiting.

For what?

For a case big enough to put her on the map.

Now, look, this obsession you have about this

girl is a distraction.

All she's trying to do is get on with her life.

Now, you forget about her.

I can't.

Why not?

Oh, because she's going to testify against you in

Catherine's custody case?

Ellen wants to hurt me.

Ah, come on, big deal, she can't hurt you.

What are you worried about?

She knows things.

What do you mean, she knows things?

Oh.

Well, that's a very different story.

So I just want to say congratulations to both of

you, and especially you, Tony.

Come on, everyone here knows that Tony has been trying to

date Cheryl for-- since tenth grade.

Somehow, after 15 years, you got her to marry you.

I don't know how you did it, man.

You-- you, my friend, you're a lucky man.

Yes.

Raise your glasses.

Here's to persistence.

Thanks, bro.

All right.

Thanks, man.

Hey, congratulations.

Thanks, Parsons.

That was so beautiful.

Another bourbon?

No, I'm good.

Uh, I've got an early start, but, uh, the next round is on me.

It's already taken care of.

Congratulations again.

Hang on a second.

Hey, you're not sticking around?

No, I should... I should probably take off.

I, uh, I'm sorry we didn't really get to talk that much tonight.

That's all right.

Next time.

At some point we should get dinner, you know, sometime...

or something.

Yeah, okay.

No pressure.

Whenever-- totally up to you.

All right.

It was really good to see you.

Global trade has grown dramatically, but the

Panama Canal, one of the most...

That is about to change.

The expansion of the Panama Canal is one of the largest

construction projects in the world right now-- a

multibillion-dollar effort that

will add a third channel to the waterway...

...allowing massive cargo ships from China...

Everything okay?

Everything is significantly better than okay.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Where the hell are we?

This is my new office.

You might want to invest in some walls.

Walls are overrated.

You hungry?

What are you doing for breakfast?

Oh, shit.

Sorry, I have to be in court this morning.

You trying a new case?

No, I don't have any clients yet.

It's something else.

I'm a character witness.

For what?

I'm testifying against Patty in a child custody case.

I don't get it.

Patty took her granddaughter away from her son.

Now he wants her back.

Were you subpoenaed?

No.

I volunteered.

I'm looking forward to it.

The equity long/short guys have been the

darling of your newspaper forever.

Well, hell, no, I'm not bashful about the Fund's successes,

an-and you shouldn't be either.

All I'm asking for is a little positive press from you.

That's all I'm saying.

Thank you.

Can you think of anyone more useless than a financial reporter?

Not off the top of my head.

You wanted to see me?

Some more information is gonna be coming your way.

I see.

- So... - Usual protocols.

It stays on this floor.

I do not want it going wide.

Of course.

Is there a problem, Naomi?

No.

We're up 22% in a shitbag economy.

Our strategies are paying off.

Be happy.

I got to take this.

But I'm taking you to lunch today.

Steak, sushi, you think about it.

Bruce Davies.

Fuck GenCorp.

Wouldn't go near it.

I've been

living abroad for some time now, which is natural for me.

I grew up all over the world.

But you are an American citizen.

Technically.

The American State Department

said your web site is directly responsible for the deaths of

three diplomats in Iraq.

Untrue.

Still, if you're leaking stolen information.

I don't leak anything.

I provide a safe haven for whistleblowers who want to get

information to the public.

What about your personal life?

It's difficult to have one when you live in shadow.

I receive a lot of threats.

Governments and CEOs throughout the world have...

Turn it off.

...condemned my web site and its mission.

- Do you recognize... - You haven't seen the whole cut.

I don't need to.

PBS wants to air it in the States.

Do you approve?

No.

I don't like how I come off.

I think you come off great.

Channing?

She called.

Did she make a decision?

No.

She wants to have a conversation, face-to-face.

Fly her over here.

She won't come.

She doesn't want to cast suspicion on herself.

She said it's time-sensitive.

Make arrangements.
