Misconduct Page #3

of every motion filed and...

Well, with all due respect, I

don't think that you played

your cards quite

right last time.

Oh, you don't?

Look, Denning's team

forged expert reports

that allowed him to

slip by fda approval.

They knowingly changed the observation

and conclusions of these drug trials.

Take a look

at this. There were...

These are facts I know. I know

about this stuff. Come on.

Serious health defects, 268...

But you're not telling me

how you're gonna win this time.

That's what I want to hear.

Well, I've got...

Confidential internal memos

that will back up everything

inside that folder.

Well, that's

a neat little thing.

Well, just keep talking.

Go ahead.

Pierson is a global corporation with

an infantry of lawyers, but with this,

we can go after Denning

personally for fraud.

Now, you thought this through?

If you're gonna go after

Denning for fraud publicly,

a man worth about

8.5 billion dollars?

And you're gonna accuse this man

of manipulating drug trials?

In a lawsuit, yes.

A lawsuit's public, Mr. Cahill.

You have kids?

No.

Where'd you go to law school?

Vandy. Undergrad at Tennessee.

That's good. So how

much you worth?

How much am I worth? Yeah.

Your life, how much

is your life worth?

Why don't you just jot down

the dollar amount here?

Do you have any idea?

It ain't much, but...

See the pen? That's a

Valenti, one of the first.

That thing costs about $68,000.

68,000 dollars?

You didn't know that, did you?

So how am I gonna know your

worth unless you tell me?

I'm worth this case.

You know why that's

worth 68 grand?

Because it has a reputation.

It has a name brand.

It has an identity.

We get a case like this, a

litigation at this level,

I need lawyers who kill.

Lawyers with reputations walk

into a courtroom and intimidate.

I don't see you in that picture, Mr.

Cahill.

Mr. Abrams, I fight to win.

Some of your other senior

partners like hill,

they're a little soft.

They work within limits.

You need someone who isn't

afraid of the wrong thing...

For the right reasons.

That's you?

You take it all. You give it to hill.

Let him look at it,

and I think you could

lead a support team.

Leader of the support team?

Yes, sir.

You know what? No.

No, that's just trumped

up paralegal bullshit.

I've done my time making copies.

I want Denning. I want

to be the handler,

and I want the goddamn generator

fee for bringing it in.

Sit down.

Understand this.

You get a nine figure

judgment, or get a new job.

Done. Done.

Mr. Cahill.

Enjoy the pen.

You're gonna let

me keep the pen?

You better go before

I change my mind.

I want to find out who exactly

Denning's legal team is.

Let's dig in, find out

everything we can about them.

How far back?

Three years? Five maybe?

A decade's worth.

F***.

Copy that.

Why do we use so much paper?

I mean, do we really need

to print out this much?

Electronic copies can

be tampered with.

Until the courts figure that

nonsense out, this firm uses paper.

We depose Denning in two days.

This is three weeks' worth

of research to comb through.

You need a strategy.

If I may make a suggestion...

We're good. Thank you.

Do you mind asking Hatty to bring

in some dinner menus, please?

You were on your way out, right?

I'll fetch her for you.

All right. Let's start

with some cataloging.

This is the subpoenaed

bank records.

Cross-reference his offshore accounts

with his tax returns, please.

You got a minute?

Yeah, I'm all ears.

In private?

What's going on, Doug?

So I was doing background checks

on this Denning discovery.

Guess whose name I caught.

Emily Hynes. Yeah.

Only took me two days and a

Lexisnexis account to find that.

Yeah, well, Arthur Denning has a

lot of people working for him.

Yeah.

So your shady ex-girlfriend

just shows up out of the blue,

right around the same time you find

evidence on her billionaire boyfriend?

Is this what I think it is?

What are you asking me?

Did you get this

evidence from Emily?

Emily has nothing to do with it.

Then where did you get this?

Why?

Cause I think she fed it to

you for whatever reason.

No. No, Doug.

Fruit of the poisonous tree.

You taught me that.

Okay, we are under compulsory

evidence origin disclosure order.

Okay, in a case this massive,

all evidence has to

be obtained legally.

Look, if I caught this

trail, others will, too.

Okay, you gotta get your sh*t in order.

Just listen to me.

Listen to me.

The entire case rests on this.

We have a case here,

and we're gonna win it.

Yeah, well, you are

playing with fire.

Okay, I don't know what's

going on between you two,

but you gotta stop it. You

gotta get her out of town.

Okay, Doug. That'll be all.

Thank you.

Hello. You live here?

No.

Why?

Do you know her?

No.

You lied to me twice.

Take another look.

Are you a cop?

Do you know her or the

man she's dating?

Who the f*** are you?

You've never seen her before?

No.

But I have seen you creeping

around here at night

and if it happens again, I'm

calling the actual cops.

Have a good night.

There you go.

A bottle of Gaia?

That's right.

350 bucks a bottle.

That hurt, when you took that

gunshot wound to the chest?

Oh, my god.

Look, let's... No

cooking tonight, okay?

Let's go out and celebrate

properly, you and me.

Can I change?

Nah. I think you

should wear that.

Move.

Wow!

This is not how I remember it!

You want to go someplace else?

I can barely hear

anything you're saying.

Okay, I'm gonna go get some drinks.

I'll be right back.

Two vodka sodas, please.

Thank you.

Hello.

Do I know you?

Don't ask a question you

already know the answer to.

Okay.

You have a good night.

You made an enemy

you don't want.

Is that right?

Why don't you tell

Arthur Denning

that this is some real

amateur-hour bullshit.

What do you want?

For you to drop this case.

I'm not dropping this case.

You will recuse yourself

and resign from your firm.

And if I don't?

Your wife will never

look this happy again.

Have fun.

Hey.

Sorry it took so long.

That's okay. I made a friend.

Yeah?

Benjamin Cahill. Wow,

how long has it been?

Like, ten years, I think. Hi.

I was just getting

cozy with your wife.

Yes, she said that she recognized

me from your profile picture.

Isn't that crazy?

Yeah, it's crazy.

Emily said that you guys met

freshman year at Tennessee?

Yeah. We dated, actually.

But I think Ben got

over me since then.

So are you here by yourself?

No, girls' night out.

You know, drinking

and dancing and...

Speaking of which, I should

probably go find them.

Okay. Well, it was

nice to see you.

It was lovely meeting you.

You, too.

You smell so nice.

Oh, thank you.

Ben? Okay.

Don't ever ignore my phone calls

or I'll tell her what happened.

It was nice to see you, Emily.

Bye.

I didn't know

that was your type.

That's not my type.

Charlotte, you're my type.

She wears a lot of perfume.

You gonna ask a girl to dance?
