Misconduct Page #5

---

What do you mean, it's not possible?

You hacked visa, for god's sakes.

Yeah, I can hack anyone, okay?

But your talks with

her are all online,

which means that your

chats are broken up

into 10,000 little

bytes and pieces.

I can't erase all that. Delete

the messages on your end.

I'll ghost her account and try

and work out the rest, okay?

Are you serious right now?

Everyone's waiting for you.

Ben!

Yeah, all right.

Who is this?

Why did you answer?

- Mr. Denning, what happened?

- Where's your troop?

I was expecting an army.

Well, your expectations have often

been your downfall, Charles.

Well, I'd rather have

faulty expectations

than sell faulty

pharmaceuticals.

But then again, that's just me.

Let the record reflect

that we have filed a civil suit

on behalf of

the named plaintiffs

against Arthur Denning

of Pierson pharmaceuticals.

Let's begin by confirming

your identity for the record.

Your name is legally

Arthur Denning?

Would you like him to

repeat the question?

I'd prefer if we spoke

off the record.

Okay.

New events have come to light that

change the nature of this allegation.

Such as?

Well, I could elaborate, but I

would prefer if Mr. Cahill did.

It's curious, isn't it, that

she was drawn to us both?

What the hell you talking about?

What is this?

I understand you're in

possession of files

that were illegally

stolen from my computer.

Everything was obtained legally

and submitted

to you in discovery.

Really? Everything?

Everything.

The woman who brought

that evidence to you,

where is she now?

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

You know

you're cornered, Arthur.

Answer the questions

on the record.

I haven't been able to reach her.

Have you?

No?

Charles, I am prepared to settle

the class-action

certification right now.

Mr. Denning, is that...

You're admitting fault?

$300 million

to the class members.

One third will take care

of your attorney fees,

and within 24 hours, the $400 million

will be wired to your trust account.

Okay. We're gonna need both

sides to agree on this

and have the judge sign

for the class settlement.

Oh, in this town, I think you'll find

a judge that will be able to do that.

I don't understand why

you're doing this.

'Cause we got

something he wants.

Yeah, in exchange

for a settlement,

we sign a confidentiality,

then we return the evidence to Mr.

Denning,

including the files that

were "hypothetically"

taken from his computer.

No risk of criminal prosecution.

Then we're done.

Ciao.

Did he just buy

back the evidence?

Yes, he did,

and he did it legally.

At least you're rich.

Live with that.

Congratulations.

Aside from the suicide attempt

a few years ago,

did Emily seem

relatively stable?

Yeah, I guess so. Seemed okay.

Did you two have sex regularly?

How is that relevant?

Well, she's still missing,

so everything is.

She mixed quite a

cocktail for herself.

Oxy, rits, vics, ads,

uptake inhibitors,

and a whole lot of colors

I have never seen before.

So what are you getting at?

Well, she either spontaneously

developed every mental disorder

on the planet,

or something in her

life, maybe someone,

was scaring her.

Yeah, I know what

you're getting at.

I own a pharmaceutical company, but

I didn't prescribe those, okay?

So why aren't you out

there looking for her?

You know, I've got

to be honest here.

It doesn't seem like you

even care if we find her.

After 48 hours, the

chances of recovering her

are increasingly difficult.

Emily can be difficult

and I love her.

If anything, her being difficult

is the thing I love most.

Weird, isn't it?

You've reached Charlotte.

Leave a message after the beep.

Hey, honey, it's me.

Give me a call.

Emily?

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

Police! Open the door!

This is the New Orleans

police department!

We have a warrant

to search your home!

You have 30 seconds to come out!

Clear!

Clear.

We have a dead body in here!

Clear.

Clear.

F***.

You didn't do it, right?

No, I didn't do it.

I gotta ask the question, man.

I'm sorry.

Jesus Christ.

I told you not to get

involved with her.

You knew Emily was crazy.

I know! I know!

I told you she was nuts. I

should have listened to you.

All right? It was stupid.

If the cops catch you with this,

they're gonna shoot first,

ask questions later.

Just get the f***

outta here with that.

Thank you. You're a good friend.

I know. I know. I know.

Good friend.

F***ing dumb friend,

that's what I am. Jesus.

Oh, I just spent three

hours with detectives.

I don't know if there's

anything more I can say.

We just have a few

more questions.

Did your husband ever

mention Emily Hynes before?

I'm sorry. Who exactly are you?

I'm her attorney.

Joe Bilson. My associate, Jane

Clemente, kidnap and rescue.

So you're not cops?

We're privately contracted

by Arthur Denning...

She has no comment,

and you have no place being

here, so I suggest you leave.

You do realize the woman

discovered dead in this house

was a woman her husband was

having an affair with?

Mr. Denning is willing to offer

aid in her legal expenses

if she's willing to

help us find him.

This is a manhunt, and he

is a fugitive at large.

You're not gonna touch her.

We spoke with Emily's neighbor.

What was her name?

Amy Campbell.

Seems Ms. Campbell saw Ben at

Emily's loft on numerous occasions.

Ms. Cahill, you may think you have

the complete picture, but you don't.

Guys, I can file a motion

if you need me to,

or I can just

tell you right now.

F*** off.

If you change your

mind, you call us?

Yeah, the cops keep circling

my house. It's freaking me out.

Can I come stay

with you tonight?

Yeah. Yeah, it's my

neighbor Hanna.

Or whatever her name was.

They still haven't figured

out what happened to her.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's freaking me out.

I don't want to stay here tonight.

Just...

No.

Oh, my god.

Uh.

Help me! Help!

Help!

Help!

No.

Do you have any idea

of what's happening here?

The entire city is hunting

for this guy!

We find him first

before the cops do.

You know what he's got and

what he could use it for.

I'm not gonna stand by and watch

this settlement fall apart!

If we don't find him,

lot of people are gonna get hurt.

Understand?

Understand?

Incoming!

Incoming! Incoming!

26-year-old female. Multiple

trauma, skull fracture.

Maybe her clavicle

is broken, too.

Moving to trauma two!

Need 100% oxygen!

125 milligrams of Solu-Medrol,

I.V. Push.

How long's she been down?

I need an answer!

I'm not sure. She got a name?

Amy Campbell. What?

What happened to her?

I'm sorry I didn't

clean her up better.

Amy, I need you to lay down.

You've had an accident.

Do you remember what happened to you?

Honey, lay down.

Did you see what happened? Did you

see the person that did this?

Were you beaten? Hey! Step back!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I thought that I could

handle this, Ben...

But I can't.
