Diana Rollins?

- Is this some kind of test?

- What do you mean?

Well, you know, you're one of them, right?

Both you guys are?

- One of who?

- Look, Greg,

tell your people that I can be trusted.

Well, I'm very happy to hear that,

because you know what would happen

if that trust was ever betrayed.

- Is this some kind of threat?

- You think I'm threatening you?

Look, Greg, I'm telling you

what I told your boss.

I'll deal with you guys,

but don't think you can lean on me.

Remember, I've got the insurance policy.

- Insurance policy?

- You know.

The real report,

the one with the actual time of death,

the one with what was really

in Diana's bloodstream.

Uh, I think this interview's over.

It's okay, Phil. You can relax.

You were right.

It was just a test.

Oh, I knew it.

I knew it.

I'm sure you can understand

how delicate our predicament is.

Of course.

- We just needed to be sure.

- I understand, Greg.

If I can ever

be of service again--

I just hope the

compensation was adequate.

She's great.

- If that's my sandwich, you can

leave it on the desk.

- I'm sorry?

Um, my premed class is

touring the building,

and I kinda got lost.

Well, isn't that a shame?

I was hoping maybe you could

point me in the right direction?

Oh, I think I can

do better than that.

Uh, why don't I give you

the V.I.P. tour?

Oh, that's too much.

- You must be so busy.

- What's your name again?

Um, Erica.

You can call me Phillip.

See that nameplate on the door?

- Uh-huh.

- That's me. You know what it means?

- No.

- It means that I'm the big kahuna around here.

Come on.

I'll show you around.

- Yep, this is where we cut 'em up.

- Wow.

You get used to it, believe me.

- Oh, damn it!

- What's wrong?

My beeper.

I left it in the office.

- I really should go get it.

- But, um,

I thought you were

the big kahuna.

Well, it's true, but you know

there's always a bigger kahuna.

You'll learn that soon enough.

Hey. What the hell

were you doing in my office?

What were you doing with her?

- Huh?

- Sh-She--

Hey!

We made it! We made it!

You okay?

Give it!

All right, I got an idea.

This is Dr. Sprague.

Get me security now!

Come with me.

Come on.

Come on, come on!

Hold it!

Get off!

- Ryan!

- Go, go!

Have you got it?

I got it.

- Hutch, Winston just called.

- What's up?

His city hall source

just tipped him off.

Ryan Sommers has been arrested.

- Arrested? For what?

- Breaking and entering...

at the morgue--

the coroner's office.

- Did he get it?

- No. He had nothing on him.

I want to finish this,

now, once and for all.

Let's get Ali and press charges against

that abusive son of a b*tch.

All right. Let's do it.

It's time to put your game face on,

darlin'.

How's this?

Let's go.

What's gonna happen?

- Well, it's about time.

- Matt Hutchinson?

- Yeah.

- You're under arrest. Take him away.

What's goin' on?

What the hell's goin' on, partner?

Call my dad, partner!

Hutch, say nothing!

What's going on?

I'm not the DA,

but I think your soul mate is gonna

be charged with murder in the second degree...

in the death of one Diana Rollins.

- And, miss, I'll need to talk to you later.

- Parker, I'm outta here.

- And you might want to get

an attorney, too, son.

- What?

Conspiracy, obstruction of justice.

- That's crazy!

- We have the coroner's report--

the real one.

- Really?

Yeah, really. And we have a witness

who will testify that Diana Rollins...

was at your little club house

on Saturday night.

It's just Ryan Sommers' word.

Not anymore.

Mr. Colby came of his own volition.

He backs up Mr. Sommers' story

regarding Saturday night.

Do you wanna make

that phone call now?

I'm on my way, Parker.

Don't even tell them

how you like your coffee.

Where's the goddamned car?

Edward, find out what the hell is going on.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Taft.

I'm Sean Beckford.

Yes, I know who you are.

What can I do for you?

Based on our attorney's advice,

we wanted to give you

an opportunity to settle out of court.

I'm afraid I don't have time

for this, Mr. Beckwith. Beckford.

From what I understand, you can't get

a decent attorney to represent you.

Now, if you'll excuse me--

We have an attorney, Mr. Taft.

Hello, Winston.

- That's everything?

- Yeah.

Well, aren't you two

the happy couple?

Why'd you do it, Ali?

What was the deal?

We could have been the envy

of the entire school, Ryan.

The perfect couple.

You were a Skull,

but then you threw it away.

You threw away my future.

Well, they offered it back to me.

The "A" list, Ryan.

It wasn't

a hard decision to make.

When I get a hold of Sommers, I am

gonna crucify him. I am gonna bury him--

Shut up, Parker. You could still be

in there with Hutchinson.

Just be grateful

I managed to bail you out.

Shame and disgrace...

has come to this Order.

This will not stand!

My fellow Skulls,

this evening...

we are forced to make

a very grievous decision...

by expelling a member

of the Order.

Senator Milford, I'm glad that

you've assembled everyone...

and that we're all on the same page.

This was precisely the action I was going

to suggest that we use with Mr. Sommers.

It is grievous,

as you say, but necessary.

Mr. Neal,

the Skull I speak of is you.

As acting chairman

of the senior council...

you were given the responsibility

of protecting the Order.

That was your charge,

and you have failed.

No!

I mean, with all due respect, sir,

I absolutely protected the Order.

- This was not our impression.

Winston, please, tell them.

Tell them I wanted Sommers out

but you said no.

Winston, tell them that you wanted

to keep his brother in your firm, please!

Mr. Neal, act like a man,

and take responsibility

for your negligence.

Mr. Neal, would you please join me?

But this isn't right.

Sommers is the one

who should be cast out, not me.

That's unnecessary, Parker.

I cast myself out.

Mr. Neal, you have shown

yourself incapable...

of being a man of high

moral fiber and good character,

hence your bond

with this Order will be destroyed.

- Will you remove your watch?

- No.

- Mr. Neal.

- No!

You think you can just come in here and

destroy my life? Is that what you think?

No.

You did that all by yourself.

Don't you turn your back on me!

You're nothing!

No one betrays a Skull and lives!

You hear me, Sommers?

I'm talkin' to you!

I'll kill you!

- Wait! No! No! I'm a Skull! Please, no!

- His watch.

This completes our arrangement?

I'm a Skull, damn it!

No! I'm a Skull!

Please! No!

Get off me!

Please, no! No!

Yeah, I'm done here.

Damn it!

Get off me!

I'm a Skull!

- Hi.

- Wanna drive?

No, thanks.

But it is a nice ride.

It's not that fast, but

it's definitely got character.

Character's good.

Character's definitely good.
