I know what brought you here, and it's not money.
It's family.
You want to set something aside for the people you love.
Your children. Their children. Am I right?
WOMAN: Yes.
That's... Absolutely.
I'm the same.
That's why I asked my son
to work with me.
Family is
everything. [chuckles]

Excuse us.
Kenneth, we're in a meeting.The FBI is here.
The FBI?They just
showed up, and one of them handed me
this search warrant, and now they're taking things.
They're just taking them.Taking what?
Everything.
This says they can seize
transaction records back ten years.
Dad.Everything's fine.
Kenneth, get Tennenbaum
on the phone. We'll sic the lawyers
on them and sort this out.
I'll talk to him in my office.
Make it the conference room.
Yes, sir.
♪
TIMOTHY: It's like he just walked away.
Just... left.
He was a coward.
A thief and a coward.
I'm ashamed to call him my father.
The search warrant and raid were to investigate allegations
your father ran a Ponzi scheme out of his business,
is that right?
PEARLANDER: It's now clear that, for years,
Tim's father pretended to open accounts for clients,
then stole their money.
There were no investments.
How much did he take?The accountants are
still digging, but looks like $300 million,
give or take. He didn't keep
all of it. A lot went to payouts
to keep the scheme going.
That's quite a scheme.
Another $160 million is just... missing.
Apparently, my father hid it.
No one knows where.
Getaway money, I suspect.
PEARLANDER: That's what we think.
An emergency wallet
in case he had to flee the country.
As it turned out, that's...
not the exit he chose.
So, the feds don't have your dad,
they don't have the money, but they have you.
The FBI arrested Tim last night. The government
is accusing him of conspiring with his father.
And you say you didn't?
I don't say it. I didn't.
I had no idea what my father was doing.
Forgive me, but...
you were partners. You ran the firm together.
He asked me to come work for him after my mother died.
He was lonely.
I thought I was being a good son.
I handled clients,
administration, but Dad did all the investing.
I was as fooled as anyone.
You don't strike me as someone who's easily fooled.
You think I'm rich, so I deserve whatever they throw at me.
We didn't say that.TIMOTHY: You understand
I'm not rich anymore?
The government seized everything we own,
put it in a fund for my father's victims. I get that.
They should be compensated.
But I shouldn't go to prison for something
I didn't do.[Pearlander clears throat]
Tim.
Give us a minute.
I've known Tim since high school.
I'm representing him despite the fact I invested with his dad.
Tim comes across a little cold,
but he's a good guy. More to the point,
he's not his father.
The feds need somebody to put in jail for this,
and Tim's their best shot.
He doesn't deserve it.
Will you help?
I am going to defer to my partner.
Marissa?
If his assets have been seized,
how does he pay?
His wife's family's footing the bill.
The check will clear.
Then I'm good.
Bull?
I guess we're in.
Thank you.For what?
You said this would be a partnership.
That felt like one.Well...
sometimes I mean what I say,
believe it or not.[chuckles]
Was that Timothy Darcourt that just walked out or here?
Are we taking his case, guys?
Yes, we are, but he has his own attorney.
Well, I'm not so sad to be sitting this one out.
[phone buzzes]Darcourt is not exactly a popular name these days.
Hello?
Well, he's pleading poverty,
but did you see that shirt?
Must've been $500.
It was $800, actually.If he walks into court
dressed like that, the jury's gonna toss him in a tumbrel
and roll him to the guillotine.
Ah, we can fix that. We'll Sears him up a bit.
Thank you.
We will be right there.Oh.
I believe I have made some rain.
Oh. In what way?
Well, there's a law firm in Chicago
that is looking to work with an east coast partner
on a civil action. Their rep's name
is Jacob Besarotti.
I had a Zoom meeting with him yesterday,
and he's come in to follow up.
I don't know the name, but I like the idea
of extending our brand.
Right. With a little effort, I think we can establish ourselves
as a national player. Hm.[elevator bell chimes]
Is that the guy you talked to?
MARISSA: Yes, why?
[sighs]
What are you doing?
Hey, man.
You lied your way in here?
It's not like you gave me a choice.
Okay, we're not doing this. You need to go right now.
Okay, but what if I don't want to?
I don't care. You're going, now.
Make me.
Seriously?Yeah, seriously.
Go ahead, make me. Come on.No. Don't. Don't touch me.
What are you gonna do-- show everyone how tough you are?Oh...
Go ahead. Show everybody how tough you are.
I told you what would happen...I think you should.
Show everybody how big and tough you really are.
I told you...Go ahead. You... Ah, ah, ah!
[overlapping chatter]
Bull! Bull!
Bull, come on![elevator bell chimes]
Come on!What?
Is that Jake?
MARISSA: You know him?
CHUNK: Who's Jake?
He's my brother.
Hi.

JAKE: Well, I'm sorry I missed the wedding.
Not that I got invited, but...
Is that why you're here?No.
No, I'm here because you didn't give me a choice.
What do you mean?
I have been here for a week.
I text him, I call him,

I didn't call you because I did not want to see you.
Honestly, I kind of knew that,
so I took it as a challenge, so...
You are so ungrateful
Here he is. I justand so manipulative.

Okay. We're not doing this again.
Jacob, tomorrow, you're gonna come have dinner at our home

That's what you do for family.
It's the minimum you do.
I would be delighted.
Good.
Okay. Well, I will see you tomorrow.
Do you have a problem with that?
Oh, far be it for me to question
the customs of the Colóns.
How long has it actually been since you two have spoken?
13 years.
Wh...
What happened?
He knows.
Marissa?
Hey. Look, about the, um...
Well, the lie that I told you.
I was just trying to get through to my stupid brother, who,
um...
Anyway, it had nothing to do with you,
and I'm-I'm really sorry that I got you involved.
I don't need an apology from you
or anything else, for that matter.
Real slick.
Real slick, Jake.DANNY: Okay, so Bull got into
a WWE SmackDown and nobody got a video? What were you thinking?
I'm a little disappointed, I have to say.
Yes, my brother came to the office, and we fought.
If you have any questions, don't ask. I'm not answering them.
Where are we with the Darcourt case?
Well, the, uh, AUSA went to town.
She filed a slew of charges, including
multiple counts of fraud and tax evasion,
down to some stupid misdemeanors.
Well, the government is gonna claim that Timothy
was a conspirator because of his father.
We need to paint
a counter-image to that.
We need to characterize him as someone
who would never participate in fraud, so,
Danny, I need you to find us some character witnesses,
and, Taylor,
I need you to keep going through
all the evidence.
Anything that draws a line
between Timothy and his father
and what he was up to, we need to know.
Okay.
What's the jury plan?
We need people who don't believe
in guilt by association,
who reject collective responsibility.
Self-disciplined, self-reliant.
Loners.
How are you gonna identify them?
"Hey, who hasn't been out on a date recently?"
I have a few ideas.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about cats.
Cats?Mm-hmm.
How many people here own cats?
I don't mean one or two--
a lot of cats.
M-More than four?
Six?
DANNY: All right, so, working theory here
is cat people are loners?
They keep to themselves
and expect others to do the same.
I don't buy it.
I have a cat. I'm not a loner.
Am I?
Whatever.
PEARLANDER: You have ten cats?MAN: Yes,
since Mr. Pickwick and Buster Fuzzly died.
And how does your significant other feel about them?
My what?
Bingo.
Your Honor, this juror is acceptable
to the defense.
We have our cat person. What's next?
Jurors who reject collective guilt.
PEARLANDER: Here's a hypothetical.
You're on a road trip with a friend.
It's your car, but you're napping,
your friend's driving, and they get a speeding ticket.
When you wake up, they say you should split the ticket.
Share the trip, share the ticket. Should you?
I guess it sounds fair.[scoffs quietly]
What about you, sir?
No way. Not driving,
not my ticket, not my problem.
TAYLOR [over earbud]: Works as a freelance proofreader,
votes libertarian. I like him.
I mean, he'd be a bad friend, but as a juror.
Your Honor, this juror's acceptable.
Two down, ten to go.
Timothy Darcourt said you're a neighbor of his in the building.
Sure, yeah, we've known Tim for years.
And you're on the residents' council together?
I am, yeah. Tim's been great.
Well, we're looking for people to testify on his behalf.
I'm assuming that's something
you could do, given that you know him so well?
I'm so... Testify in court?
That's usually where it happens, yeah.
[chuckles] Well, I don't... I mean, um,
there's a-there's a lot of feeling
about what Tim's father did.
Some people we know lost money.
Ah, well, like you said,
that's what his father did, not-not him.
Yeah. I just... I don't want to get in the middle of anything.
I'm sorry. [chuckles]
C'mon, Boots.[dog yapping]
Man, dog people are the worst.
DOORMAN: Hey.
You a cop?
What makes you think I am?
You got that cop way of standing.
Like, wherever you are, you got a right to be there.
[chuckles]
Sharp eye. What do you want?
I overheard you mention Timothy Darcourt.
I know something about him that might be of use to the police.
Yeah? What's that?
The night before the old man took a dive off that building,
Tim Darcourt called me and asked if there's a way
to get out of the building
without going past the security cameras.
Paid me $500 to tell him how to do it.
Did he go out that night?
What do you think?
TAYLOR: Timothy may have been able to hide
from the cameras in his building,
but once you're on the street,
there's no avoiding them complete...
Wait. I think...
Okay. There.
That's Darcourt at 69th and Madison
a little after midnight.
He's just standing there.
That's very suspicious.
Can you fast forward?
Ah-hah.
So, he got in the front seat. He knows the driver,
clearly.
Can we see inside?
Mm... Not here, the angle's wrong,
but there are traffic cams up and down Madison.
This is 35 seconds later, a block north.
That's the car, there's Timothy and...
Isn't that his father driving?
Yes, it is.
He didn't say anything
about a secret meeting with his father, did he?
He very much did not.
So, what are they up to?
I don't know. But I'm gonna find out.
TIMOTHY: My father called me that night.
He was frantic. He said he had to see me,
but no one could know we were meeting.
What did your father say when you met?
He confessed.
The fraud, the Ponzi scheme.
He said the FBI was onto him, and that
he would be arrested in a few days.
You know, the minute he did that--
I mean that minute-- you should've called the FBI,
called me.I wanted to.
I told him that's what I was going to do,
but he was s...
sobbing. He begged me.
He said he needed a few days to get things in order.
I didn't know what to do.
I said okay.
He was my father.
This completely undermines our defense.
Why?PEARLANDER: Our whole argument
is that you were ignorant of the crime.
I was.MARISSA: No, he told you,
and you hid the knowledge.
For a couple of hours.Doesn't matter.
The prosecution will say if you lied about a couple of hours,
you could just as easily lie about days, weeks, years.
Your credibilityis shot.
I can't put him on the stand now.
One thing I don't get--
your father kept his scheme going for a long time
by being supremely cautious.
Calling you, seeing you--
that's a risk he didn't have to take. Why did he do it?
He said he wanted me to hear about it from him.
And he wanted to give me something.
What did he give you?
He gave him a picture?
Yup.
This was from a family vacation
that, uh, they took when Tim was a kid.
Milton said that he gave it to him to remind him
of happier times, and he said,
"This is the only real gift I have to give."
Well, that's just weird.
It's not even a good picture.BULL: No.
It's not.
What is it Fitzgerald said about the rich?
They're different than you and me.
Mm-hmm. Yup. They're weird.
What are you doing?
Milton Darcourt was a thief.
Probably a sociopath, but...
he was not sentimental.
Hello.MARISSA: What is that?
Taylor?
I think it's a Bitcoin wallet.
Uh, more, please?
A hard drive you can keep Bitcoin on.
It's actually the safest way to store it.
MARISSA: Milton Darcourt
tucked away $160 million.
You think he hid it there?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Can you get into that thing?
Not without a password, and smart money says the only person
who knew the password was Milton Darcourt.
What about Timothy?
Uh, we could ask,
but he didn't even know about the wallet.
Can you... hack in?
I could try, but if you enter the password wrong
too many times, it wipes the drive. Goodbye Bitcoin.
Well, see if you can get in there without destroying
$160 million.
Anything else impossible you'd like done?
Now, we are not talking
about this with anyone.CHUNK: Whoa, ho.
That's stolen property,
and if the judge finds out that we withheld it,
we could be sanctioned and prosecuted.
Yeah, if I found the doorman, the cops will, too.
There's no way they don't catch on to this eventually.
We'll deal with the doorman
if the cops find him.
As for that drive,
it's only stolen property if the money's on there.
Don't we all think that the money is on that?
MARISSA:Well, there might be nothing on there,
or something
other than the stolen money.
We might suspect the money's on there,
but we don't know it, so...
no problem.
Yeah.
Am I the only person who still thinks there's a problem?
Mr. Mesry,
as Milton Darcourt's executive assistant,
you conspired with him in the fraud he perpetrated.
In fact, you're testifying here
as part of a plea agreement, isn't that correct?
Yes. I would prepare
fake financial reports
that we sent to the clients to make it look like
we had invested their money.
So, in pursuing the firm's legitimate work
and the fraud, you spent a lot of time with Milton Darcourt?
Yes.Would you say
you spent the most time with him?
No.
Who did?
His son, Timothy Darcourt.
They met every morning for at least an hour,
spoke easily a dozen times every day.
When Timothy Darcourt arrived at the firm,
did Milton Darcourt give you a directive?
He told me Timothy was to see everything he did.
He wanted Timothy to know every facet of the business.
Every facet.
No further questions.
[murmuring]
We're in trouble.
Pearlander's saying the right thing, but...
none of it's landing.
Why not?
Well, he keeps telling the jury there's no evidence
Timothy knew what was going on,
but their instinct is telling them he had to know.
Well, didn't he?
See? This is what I'm dealing with.
[doorbell rings]
For a minute, I thought you were gonna leave me out here.
Mm. I wouldn't do that to my neighbors.
Wine. Nice.Yeah.
Who says it's for you?
[sighs]
JAKE: When our parents
split up, and they asked us kids who we wanted
to stay with, he and Jennifer said Mom.
I said Dad.
Why?
I... It just didn't seem right to me
that he had to be by himself.
That was kind of you. Wasn't it?
This paella is delicious.
Yes, very deft hand with the saffron.
Thank you.
So, what are you doing now?
Just looking for projects to finance.
I'm an opportunity investor, like our dad.
Ah, is that what you think Dad did--
opportunity investing?
Yeah.
I think that he identified what people needed,
and then he raised money to build it.
He was a glorified con man with a realtor's license.
You're not that different from Dad. You know that, right?
Yeah, we're peas in a pod.
Yeah, more than you think.
Do your clients know you failed the bar twice?
I have three PhDs,
and I never wanted to be an attorney.
I own a trial consulting firm, Jake.
So, you're a glorified con man,
but with a psychology degree.
What do you want?
Jason.
You wouldn't come here just to say hi.
There's always an angle, there's an ask. What is it?
Well, I wanted to meet Izzy and Astrid.
Um...
And I want to talk about the land in New Hampshire.
Mm.
You haven't built anything on it.
Right? It's just, it's sitting there.
It's doing nothing. I think we should sell it.
And why do you want to do that?
Well, I'd like my piece of it.
There's a geothermal energy project in Utah
that I am circling,
and I would just love to put some money into it.
No.
What, no?
Like, no, we can't discuss it?
That's right. We can't.
Jason, we can.
Jennifer left me her interest. I control it,
and as far as I'm concerned, that is family property.
I would like to remind you that I'm also family.
I don't care.
It's the last connection we have to Jennifer.
It's the last thing we shared, and I am not gonna sell it
so you can go waste money on some cockamamie scheme.
Cockamamie scheme. Really?
Yeah.
You know, Jason, all you had to do was say no.
You didn't have to be a dick about it.
Actually, I... I have to use the bathroom.
Oh, um, yeah, there's...
there's one in our bedroom.
You're fine.
Okay.
[door opens]
I'm gonna go.
No, please, please stay.
Thank you, but I-I... I really should.
I think I should go.
What's the matter?
What? Nothing. I just...
No, no, you're sweating
and your breathing's elevated. What's going on?
Nothing, okay? It's...
Can you please... It's nothing. I'm going.
Hey.
What's in your pocket?
There's nothing. Okay?There's something
in your pocket. Show me.
There's nothing. It's none of your business.
Empty your pocket now.
Jason, what're you doing? Would you get off my back?
Jake, you're not leaving hereI'm just trying to go.
until you empty your pocket!
That...
That's mine. That was in my jewelry case.
Jake?
You win.
What do you mean?
What do you think it means? It means I'm...
I'm the idiot.
I'm the screwup brother
you always thought I would be, right?
You happy?
[door opens]
[door closes]
What just happened?
I don't know.[sighs]
Has he ever done anything like this before?
Well, I mean, he's asked for money.
Jake's always got some...
business project going,
some scam, or whatever.
Well, is that what got between you--
he didn't pay you back for something?
Mm...
Not exactly.
Long time ago, he asked for some money, and...
...and I gave it him, but I told him
not to ask our sister.
Jennifer's husband...
was treating her worse, and I knew that
if she gave Jake the money, that he would...
...react badly.
And I told Jake
not to go to her, but he did.
And, of course, she gave him the money
because she was the softest touch in the world.
And her husband responded the way I thought he would.
Is that when he killed her?
No.
No, but it was bad enough.
I just didn't want to talk to Jake after that, you know?
But I've never seen him the way he was tonight.
And, before, when he
would ask for money, he would wheedle
and lie and cajole, but...
...he didn't steal.
He was unreliable, but...
never a thief.
Well, you know what that means.
He's desperate.Mm.
Question is, why?[phone vibrates]
Marissa, what is it?
I just got a call
from Pearlander. The AUSA
sent him a late update to the witness list.
She's calling the doorman.
Danny was right. The cops found him.
BULL: If the doorman testifies,
Pearlander has to put Timothy on the stand
to explain what he was doing that night.
Yeah, then the AUSA's gonna point out
that he knew about the fraud and he kept it a secret.
And the jury's worst suspicions about him will be confirmed.
Ignorance isn't a defense anymore,
so we are going to have to assert
something positive,
something that will show Timothy in a new light,
and get the jury to acquit him.
And what would that be, exactly?
Well, if Timothy announced that he had found
$160 million in his father's Bitcoin wallet
and gave it to something like the victim's compensation fund,
I think that would go a long way with the jury.
Don't you think, Taylor?
Oh, how's it coming with the password?
Timothy doesn't know the password.
I've gone through all the evidence seized
from Milton Darcourt.
There's no sign he wrote it down.
I know it's a 14-character string of letters,
of which there are a bazillion
combinations.
We are asking for a 24-hour continuance,
which means you have until tomorrow to find the password.
Find it, please.
He knows I only get three tries, right?
[clears throat] I hear the cops found the doorman.
Now, I'm supposed to say, "I hate to say I told you so,"
but the truth is I really enjoy it.
Told you so.Yeah.
I need you to do something for me.
What's that?
[sighs] I need you to find someone.
JAKE:Yeah?
It's me.
Get lost.
Open up, I want to talk.No.
Jake.
I'm sorry about dinner. I was being a...
I apologize.
How many times have you heard me do that?
Just open the door.
What happened?
Tripped and fell.
On what?
Two guys with their fists cocked.
[sighs] Okay.
You know that geothermal energy project?
Yeah.
Well, I already borrowed some money and invested in it.
But it turns out "geothermal" derives from the Latin
for "no energy."
Nothing happened. Money disappeared.
Now the guy I borrowed it from wants it back,
so, um, last night,
him and his guys found me and were, uh,
not too happy about it.
So...
Jake.
Why didn't you tell me?
I just...
I couldn't.
I know that you're still angry about Jennifer.
And you were right, man, you were right.
I should not have taken the money from her, but...
...you just, you can't act like you're the guardian
of her memory, or something.
Everyone acts like you're this big hero
because you put her name on the building, but...
I'm the one who she called when things went bad
with the scumbag husband.
I'm the one who told her to leave.
I-I did, I begged her.
I know.
And the truth is...
The truth is I've always been angry at myself
about what happened to Jennifer,
about not being able to help her.
And I think that...
over the years, I've dealt with that anger
by putting some of it on you, and...
that's not fair to you.
I am sorry.
I just miss her.
I do, too.
So, who do you owe this money to?
His name is Mitch DeVries.
Runs a poker room.
How much we talking?
$86,000.
Okay.
Let's... get you out of here.
You can come and stay at our place.
Seriously?
It'll give us a chance to...
really talk about this DeVries guy.
Okay.
Hey, Jason?
Thanks.
This is everything Timothy
gave me about his father.
Great. None of these have 14 letters.
Milton has to choose a password,
he knows he's about to be arrested.
It has to be something he's 100% sure he will not forget.
Milton's older. Analog.
He's gonna want to keep it simple.
Maybe it's...
Ooh, that's pretty simple.
Do you want to try it?
Yes.
Oh, I knew I shouldn't have done that.
It was your idea.I know.
[sighs]
Don't you think, if somebody wanted to give a picture
to remember him by, he would choose a better one than this?
Why, you think the password has something to do
with the picture?Well,
he did tape the wallet to it.
And look, there's a sign behind them.
"Morse State Park."
14 letters.
Try it.
[both groan]
When you feel faint, do you put your head between your legs
or do you blow into a paper bag?Wait,
there's a shadow here. Do you see it?
Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?
I am texting Timothy.
Why?I have this picture of my aunt
and my grandmother from a trip they took to New York.
My grandmother asked this stranger to take the picture,
turned out to be Paul McCartney.
We call it the McCartney photo.
I don't think Paul McCartney has 14 letters.
No. I just wonder
if the password is the name of the photographer.
The shadow. Someone who's part of the picture
[phone vibrates]but who isn't in it.
Timothy says the picture was taken by a friend
of his father's named Annette McCracken.
No. Too many letters.
No, but everyone called her Netty. N-E-T-T-Y.
She went with him on the trip and died in a car crash
on the way home.
Netty McCracken.
14 letters.
[exhales] Netty?
Netty.
PEARLANDER: And when you turned
over the photo, did you have any idea the Bitcoin wallet
was hidden behind it?
None. I was staggered.
What was discovered on the wallet?
Objection, Your Honor. This is irrelevant to the issue
of Mr. Darcourt's guilt or innocence.
I'll allow it.
TAYLOR [over earbud]: He better allow it.
Is there a chance he wouldn't allow it?
Mm, small chance.
Nobody told me that.
Ladies, you're missing the big finish.
We found $163 million
my father had stored there.
[jury murmuring]
We've turned it over to the police,
obviously, and we're working to get it
into the fund compensating
my father's victims as quickly as possible.
No further questions.
You want to know how the jury's feeling?
I don't need to. I can see 'em.
Thank you, Marissa. Thank you, Taylor.
[both chuckle]
Hey. How's it going in jury land?
They're good. Jury's deliberating.
You feel optimistic, or...
I do. Why do you ask?
I was just, you know, trying to show an interest.
You never show an interest.
DANNY: Hey.
Checked out Mitch DeVries.
NYPD has an eye on him for loan-sharking,
but they've never been able to put together a case.
If you want to talk about what he did to you, they'll listen.
Oh, I do not want to talk to the police, thank you, ma'am.
From I've heard about you, I'm not surprised.
So what about the poker game DeVries runs?
Nothing special. But rumor is he cheats.
Excellent. Let's go talk to him.
Want me to tag along?
No, I think we can handle it.
You sure? He's got a pretty bad reputation.
That's what I'm counting on.

♪ Ain't got that...
Yeah.
My name's Jason Bull. This is my brother, Jake.
I believe you two know each other.
Can we talk?
Okay.
It's come to my attention that my brother owes you some money,
and I... I would like to make good on that.
I was thinking maybe we could do a payment plan,
and in installments,
I can guarantee it.
Is that something you'd be interested in?
That's not how this works.
Yeah, I had a feeling,
but I thought I'd just throw it out there.
I guess that brings me to the second possibility,
which is I go to the NYPD
and tell them about your loan-sharking.
I hear they'd be very interested in that.
You don't want to do that.
Yeah, it wasn't really our number-one choice either,
but, again-- possibilities.
Which brings me to the third option.
You and I sit down and we play a little poker.
I'll put $172,000 on the table-- double
what Jake owes you.
You win, you walk away with all of it.
I win, and Jake walks away...
clean.
How do I know your money's good?
Ah. Good question, Mitch.
I brought a certified check.
Better than a suitcase full of cash.
No poker.
Blackjack.
One hand. No tears.
No blackjack, okay? That's just luck.
It's mostly luck.
No, it's-it's all luck, okay?
You can't read his plays, you can't see his tells,
and he cheats.I g...
I got this.
Okay.
Blackjack. I like it.
On one condition.
Fresh deck.

Hit me.
All right, hold. You don't want to bust.
He didn't recheck his card,
which means he's got a high one under there.
JAKE: All right.
Again.
Stay.
Me too.
Show.
Twenty.
[soft chuckle]
Twenty.
That's a nice number.
I like 21.
[indistinct chatter]
You...
don't want to do that.
Well, that's my money.
That's mymoney.
Oh, I see.
Well, you can take it if you want to.
I can't stop you.
But you really want to do that?
Because if you do,
everyone will know
what you really are.
A cheat.
No tears.
And don't touch my brother.
[clears throat]
SULLIVAN: Have you reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
On counts one through seven, we find the defendant
not guilty.
And count eight?
On count eight, misdemeanor criminal possession
of stolen property, we find the defendant guilty.
SULLIVAN: Very well. I thank you for your service.
The jury having rendered its verdict,
we will meet again in six weeks from today for sentencing.
Court's adjourned.
[gavel bangs]Tim.
Look happy. We won.
They found me guilty.
A misdemeanor. It's nothing.
You'll serve no time. This is great, trust me.
Thank you.You bet. Thank you.
I told them that I didn't know he was stealing.
Under the statute, you can be found guilty
of criminal possession
if the jury thinks you should have known.
I didn't know what was going on.
You didn't know or you didn't want to know?
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I think what the jury is trying to say is that...
your family is your family.
They're a part of you,
whether you like it or not.
[elevator bell chimes]
Uh, don't be startled-- your brother's in your office.
Oh, I'm surprised you let him in after what happened last time.
Oh, he asked politely. Besides, there's a betting pool.
I got ten bucks says he pins you this time.
[chuckles]
[sighs] You like the chair?
Yeah, it's comfy.
Yeah, it is. Out.
Out!Okay.
I'm leaving for a while.
I'm gonna, uh...
Actually, I-I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks.
I did want to give you this
before I left.
Remember that day?
That's Peach Lake.
Was that the day that Dad...
Yeah, with the knife and the fish.
He almost cut his thumb off, yeah.
Oh, my God. That was a day.
Yeah, it was.
He'd love a call, you know.
I know you always thought he was a bad guy.

You know, maybe in some ways, he was.
