Sequestered

Hey, cutie. What are you doing out here all by yourself?

Hey. I’m trying to be nice.

Why you got to be all rude, huh?

Bitch! You broke my hand.

Well, you’re just going to have to learn

to jerk off with the other hand.

Get off me!

Hey.

Sorry that it went way long.

What are you doing?

I found something.

Look. Look, look, look. Okay, okay.

Ransom note, deposit slip showing

the $20 million deposit into the bank in Luxembourg.

Right? Look.

I don’t know what this is. Can you please just tell me?

Okay, okay. The account numbers, okay?

Lookit. The ransom note has five ones at the end.

The bank statement only has four.

There’s a typo. Sure,

but how did the money get to the right place then?

The typo’s on the ransom note.

Maybe the kidnapper called and gave the governor

instructions outside of the note.

"Hi, governor. It’s the kidnapper.

I know I just sent you this anonymous email,

but can add a one to the end of the--"

I don’t know how he got him the right number,

but if this meant something, someone would’ve said something.

You would think, but nobody has, so...

This is big, okay? I have found something big.

Okay. Okay?

I’m excited about it. I just wish I knew what it meant.

Mm. I’m so amped after that, I could just go again right now.

Are you serious?

Yeah, but, no.

Mm. We got to get a little sleep, right?

Okay.

I’ll be right back.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm, good morning.

Good morning.

Why didn’t you sleep?

Well...

Yeah? I didn’t keep you up with my snoring?

Ha. No.

You think you snore way louder than you really do.

Oh, trust me, I know. I’ve woken myself up.

Mm.

No, I slept really well.

It was nice.

It was?

We should stay in bed all day, right?

Come on. When was the last time

either one of us was able to do something like that?

Gosh, I can’t even remember.

I can.

Oh.

Mm. Mm.

Hey, Sean.

No, no, no, I was up.

I left my bracelet in the top drawer of my dresser,

and now it’s gone.

Are you sure you didn’t just misplace it?

Did you look under your bed?

Um, yeah, I looked everywhere.

You know, I bet one of the Mexican maids took it.

Charles’ pen went missing yesterday.

Oh, my God, that’s right. Yeah.

I mean, I don’t mean to be racist, but--

Okay, I will talk with housekeeping,

but you two need to get going. You’re late for deliberations.

Off you go.

This is ridiculous. Nobody can hear you

because you’re all talking at the same time.

You guys, you guys, he has to have, like, a nemesis.

What? You know, like in comic books.

There’s always a nemesis.

I mean, a billionaire politician?

He’s got to have some enemies, right?

And why did Malcolm ask for $80 million anyway?

I mean, he could get away with five million, but 80?

You have to have connections to make that disappear.

The governor worked in the shipping industry.

Doesn’t sound like you could make any enemies.

All these relaxed people on vacation trips

to other countries.

His business is in international shipping,

not cruise ships.

You are so young and naive. Do you have any idea

what the longshoremen’s unions are capable--?

Wait, the unions, you guys. What if they took the kid?

Does anyone know if they were negotiating contracts?

I think the reason the defense didn’t bring that up

is because it’s completely asinine.

Why is he allowed to speak?

Why don’t you just chill out? How about that?

Yeah, why don’t you? Okay, hold on, hold on.

What Seth is saying may be a little bit of a reach,

but he has an interesting point, okay?

What if somebody wanted to see the governor suffer?

Maybe we should be discussing that.

What about the woman he ran against for governor?

What was her name? Lauren Birch? I doubt it.

What about an NRA lobbyist?

I mean, he’s hell-bent on gun control.

So they kidnap the son, hm?

An act of violence. How would that help?

So long as they didn’t shoot him.

Guys, why are we spiraling down this detour?

With all the manpower on this case,

you think they haven’t thoroughly investigated

all of these possibilities? Come on.

There were no viable suspects introduced by the defense

during the entire trial, okay?

That tells me that all roads lead to Malcolm.

We’re just having a discussion, Anna.

Exploring reasonable doubt, that’s our job.

All right, but I don’t think you can "reasonable doubt"

Malcolm as an enemy.

He might’ve been burned a little bit by the governor,

but I wouldn’t call him an enemy.

Why, because he wasn’t screwed out of a business deal?

Think about it. What about the little guy

that he made promises to and did not come through for?

Wouldn’t that guy hate him the most?

What is she talking about?

When Malcolm asked for the governor’s help

in getting his parents green cards.

Bennett made promises he did not come through on.

Then Malcolm’s father, he became ill and died

before Malcolm could get home.

Oh, right. That was sad.

Yeah. I don’t know about you,

but if I was him, and I wasn’t able to see my father

one last time before he died,

I’d certainly blame the governor.

I would too.

So would I.

Yvonne, you thinking about changing your vote?

I don’t know, but I certainly understand

how it feels to be overlooked.

Yvonne, you can’t just change your vote for the--

Hey, back off, Ryan. She’s allowed to change her mind.

Maybe the rest of you should do the same.

So our client in San Francisco

has been charged with felony murder

arising from the robbery-- Of the death, excuse me,

of two security guards during the robbery of...

Of the bank. Um...

We are currently awaiting a possible, uh,

plea offer from the DA.

I spoke to the DA yesterday. It’ll be here shortly.

Right. Right. Uh...

So regardless of the offer,

we should probably file a motion for continuance.

Already filed.

Could you, uh, excuse us for a moment?

Sir, I-- You don’t have to say anything. I--

You know, I think you are the youngest lawyer in this firm

ever to sit first chair on a case this large,

but I’m certain if you keep spending your nights

digging around in cases that have already been tried

you’re going to be sitting on nothing but DUI cases

for the next ten years.

Uh, I’m sorry, sir, if you don’t mind me asking,

how did you know that I was looking at Malcolm’s case?

Two of the paralegals helped you

carry the case files out to your car.

This case is over.

There’s nothing we can do. There’s nothing you can do.

And if he’s found not guilty, all this digging around

will have been utterly pointless.

What if he’s found guilty?

Then we will thoroughly investigate

whatever it is that’s crawled up your ass on appeal.

Put your energies on this client,

because he deserves a vigorous defense too,

and be done with this Scooby Doo shit.

Understood, sir.

Uh, hey, Dad, what’s up?

Uh, I was in the neighborhood,

and I checked in on that Russian neighbor.

Sophia Russo’s neighbor?

Yeah, I wanted to show her the video

of our guy at the gay bar.

You did?

She wouldn’t give me the time of day,

and it wasn’t just that she was uncooperative.

She was scared.
