No, no, no.
Nemo, come on. No, please! Come on, Wolf.
You know I can't go back to the boss empty-handed.
Please, [stammers] I'll get my assistant.
She'll wire you whatever you need.
No, no, no. No, please.
Oh, yeah. No, don't -- Come on, Nemo.
Please. No more talking.
No, come on. No, no! Hold him down!
[ Grunting ] Hold him!
[ Flesh squelches ] [ Screams ]
[ Sobbing ] I'll give you anything you want. Anything you want.
You know what we want. You just didn't want to give it.
No, no, no. Please, stop, stop. Stop. Now you have a few reasons
not to make the same mistake.
Hold him.
No, no!
What the hell's going on up here?
[ Ezra sobbing ]
Get off of him! -Your friend has a debt to pay.
Whatever he owes you, I'll cover it, okay?!
Don't make promises you can't keep.
I don't. You'll get your money.
Just don't ever show your face around here again.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Get the hell out of here.
Hey, let's go.
[ Groaning ]
Sevvy.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Take it easy.
[ Sobbing, stammers ]
It's all right. Listen. Listen, Wolf.
Maya: Wiest won't let us take
a high-profile case to trial unless it's ironclad,
and we can't count on Matthew to back us up. [ Elevator bell dings ]
At least we know what we're up against.
Julianne?
Maya, I was hoping we could talk.
I'll wait for you. I'll walk you down later.
Why don't you come with me?
Julianne: I'd like to pose a hypothetical.
-Okay. -If a person came forward
and said they put the jacket by the road
near the homeless encampment,
what would happen to that person?
Depends. On what?
Why they did it, for one.
Say they did it because, after the bail hearing,
they saw your case falling apart.
So they were just trying to help?
They didn't want Sevvy to go free,
not after everything he's done.
I would need to know how this hypothetical person
came to get a jacket with Jessica's blood on it.
Tell me what would happen,
and I might be able to answer that.
I could make a deal
in exchange for testimony under oath.
No jail. Probation.
Community service, as much as you want.
That's my condition.
Okay.
Jessica brought the jacket to me
a few weeks before she died.
She said she wanted me to have...
evidence that he was beating her,
in case something happened.
A few weeks? Are you sure?
He said the beatings stopped way before that.
And you believed him?
Look who fell for the movie-star charm.
Why didn't you turn the jacket in when Jessica was found dead?
He's the father of my children.
Jessica was dead.
I couldn't help her anymore.
So this has nothing to do with him letting Wolf
try and pin the murder on you?
I'm just trying to do the right thing.
You'll say all of this on the witness stand?
I will put my hand on the Bible
and swear before God to every word.

Have you seen CJ?
Um...
I think she left a few minutes ago.

All right.
I heard about what happened this morning.
Yeah, everyone in the office is real worried about you.
Are you sure you don't mind?
Yeah, no problem at all. [ Elevator bell dings ]
Thanks, Leo.

How long have you been here?

[ Sighs ]
It's a bug. I thought it was Wolf's,
and I didn't know about the stalker.
If I had -- You still would have lied,
just not enough to get her killed?
[ Sigh ] I deserve that. Yeah.
Where'd you find this?
In the War Room.
When Riv told me about the bug at Maya's house,
I got it back from I.T. I thought you'd want to see it.
It's the same kind.
If this was in the War Room,
then that means the stalker has security clearance.
It's someone in the building. I got to find Maya.
Thanks again for doing this, Leo.
I can't let anything happen to you.
You've got an important job to do.
[ Chuckles ]
After what happened, you're not staying at home?
No. No, we're in a hotel.
Okay, good. That's good. Yeah.
Well, you have a great night, and thank you.
Which hotel is it?
If you want, I could follow you,
you know, for safety.
That's okay.
Riv's waiting for me.
Least your case just got a whole lot easier now, right?
With Wolf's guy out of the way?
Yeah, maybe.
Look, I better get going.
Thanks again. [ Keys jingling ]
I'll see you tomorrow, Leo.
