Michael's bombing investigation links a mobster and a respected lawyer to national politics.
Part 1 here : https://dai.ly/x94hhzy
Tough and idealistic Michael Hayes, a former New York policeman, is named Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York after his boss is nearly killed. That doesn't intimidate Michael, however, who isn't afraid to play hardball on cases that could hurt his career. He is assisted by Eddie, his chief investigator, and three committed assistant U.S. Attorneys, Nevins, Manning and Straus, not to mention Joan, Michael's secretary. As if he doesn't have enough on his plate, Michael also makes time to look after the family of his brother, Danny, the black sheep of the Hayes clan.

00:00Previously on Michael Hayes
00:02George Boyd, some kind of public relations guy. All he did was open his mail.
00:0816 mail bombs over the last eight years.
00:10Why have we been kept out of this?
00:12You were thinking maybe I was the bomber's target.
00:14I wouldn't put a pass on your clients.
00:16Please publish the enclosed treatise or I will accelerate my activity. Signed, PPC.
00:21Everything from JFK to alternate side of the street parking is part of one grand conspiracy.
00:26I have a client who recognizes the bomber's manifesto.
00:28PPC.
00:30Panopticon.
00:32Roy is Mrs. Payton's brother.
00:34No death penalty.
00:36Please, get away from me.
00:38Drop it.
00:40They want me locked up because I know.
00:42So if you didn't send the bombs, Mr. Van Wagner, who did?
00:45Van Wagner? He's nuts.
00:47But he ain't crazy.
00:51What if he's telling the truth?
00:53You're kidding me. No one.
00:55Just wait for me and don't let anybody in that room.
00:57Where's Van Wagner?
00:58He hung himself in the shower with a belt.
01:00A belt? They remove all belts from prisons.
01:02Yes, they do.
01:04He didn't even get a try.
01:06Look, Michael, I'm not going to tell you the world doesn't work with a wink and a smile and a grin
01:11between old boys smoking cohibas in a back room somewhere.
01:14If you're involved in this, attorney-client doesn't apply.
01:19Make the move.
01:21And one.
01:23Technical. Technical.
01:25Technical. Let's go.
01:27Go and play. Play by the rules.
01:29Oh. All right.
01:31Socks for one. He's eight for eight tonight.
01:33With a little help from his friends.
01:35Make that nine for nine, Marv.
01:37Uncle Mike, it's a crime.
01:39A guy with a shot like that's not an all-star.
01:41Uh-huh-huh.
01:43You are raising a heck of a sixth man here, Casual.
01:46Sixth man? I'd kick your butt.
01:48Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
01:50Thanks for watching. No problem.
01:52Nice shot.
01:55Caitlin.
01:57Michael, it's my life,
01:59and it's time I get on with it.
02:01That's right. Where is it?
02:03Tennessee. On Roosevelt.
02:06Yeah, it's a nice place, Michael, so don't start with me.
02:08Okay.
02:10All right, doesn't this two-guard need to get to homeroom?
02:14Two-guard? You mean point guard.
02:16You mean point guard. Keep going.
02:18Come on, Danny. All right.
02:20This will be good for me. You'll see.
02:22Have a good day, guys.
02:24See you, Uncle Mike.
02:26♪♪♪
02:56♪♪♪
03:27It's not exactly the end we had planned,
03:30but all's well.
03:32Sounds like you're satisfied.
03:34I tracked Von Wagner for eight years.
03:37Would I have liked to have seen a trial?
03:39Of course.
03:41But I'll tell you one thing.
03:43He strings himself up,
03:45the world is a far better place.
03:48Well, there is an excellent chance
03:51that this wasn't a suicide agent plan.
03:54You say tomato?
03:56We say suicide.
03:58Go ahead. Knock yourself out.
04:00Not my department.
04:03♪♪♪♪
04:08Whew. I thought you were smug, John.
04:11Let me guess.
04:13The FBI has cleared its books on the bombings.
04:15Well, the prime suspect's status is more cost-efficient.
04:17Von Wagner was depressed and humiliated.
04:20You know, maybe he just couldn't stand the face
04:22of the inevitable media circus.
04:24Sure. He hung himself without leaving prints
04:26on a belt he shouldn't have had in the first place.
04:28I know I believe that.
04:30It's Site 101. Paranoids don't commit suicide.
04:33I just think it's time to face the obvious.
04:35With Van Wagner out of the way,
04:37it ties us up in a neat little package.
04:39Okay, do you think we're maybe getting
04:41just a little carried away here?
04:43Okay, John, explain the bomb sent
04:45while Van Wagner was hospitalized.
04:47That's what I thought.
04:49Look, if someone was smart enough
04:51to kill Warren Boyd
04:53and then frame Von Wagner for it,
04:55I think he'd be smart enough
04:57to put the proper postage on his mailbox.
04:59We, um, we need to look deeper into the Boyd brothers,
05:03and we need to understand
05:05what Willie Boyd found in that ledger.
05:07And more importantly,
05:09why was Van Wagner killed and who's behind it?
05:11And the number-one choice for killing Van Wagner?
05:14Tommy Ritigliano.
05:17Transferred down from Danbury
05:19pending some kind of motion.
05:21A birdie saw him lingering
05:23outside the shower room, day in question.
05:25What do we know about him?
05:27Buddies' names end in vowels.
05:29And I'm not talking Shapiro.
05:31You want company?
05:33I'm good.
05:43You need something, Holla.
05:45Like a kill for a cup of coffee
05:47doesn't hurt when I piss.
05:49That right.
05:51Figure of speech.
05:53Geez, loosen up, will you?
05:55My zipper down what?
05:57You want to stay right here?
05:59There's a double bill at the Midway.
06:01Midway hasn't played double bills in a long time, I hear.
06:03Yeah? Well, if you hadn't noticed,
06:05I've been out of town a while.
06:07Why is that, Mr. Ritigliano?
06:09Well, what is this? Meet the press.
06:11Call me Tommy Capp on account of my pension for cappuccinos.
06:13Tell me about Roy Van Wagner, Tommy.
06:15Who?
06:17You know what?
06:19Government pays me
06:21whether I come up with something or not.
06:23Sitting here sure beats the hell out of sweating for that paycheck.
06:27Serial nut job's all I know.
06:29Bill has you whacking him.
06:31Kind of gives me juice, huh?
06:33You cop into it?
06:35Why would I do that?
06:37Look, unless my lawyer's got
06:39some kind of magic rabbit coming out of the hat,
06:41I got 15 years in there.
06:43I want to keep breathing.
06:45I need all the juice I can get.
06:49You gave me your word.
06:51I trusted you.
06:55We're investigating your brother's death, Mrs. Payton.
06:57We will solve this.
06:59Roy is dead because of me.
07:01I gave you his name.
07:05Why am I even talking to you?
07:07If somebody killed Roy,
07:09we're gonna find them.
07:11You'll understand if I don't believe you, Mr. Hayes.
07:19One time when we were kids,
07:23there were some bullies in the playground,
07:25and they were teasing me and calling me names,
07:27and Roy came running after them
07:29with a baseball bat.
07:33They beat him black and blue.
07:35They beat him black and blue.
07:37And you know what he said to me afterwards?
07:39He said,
07:41it's okay, Rosie.
07:43I'll never let anybody hurt you, Rosie.
07:49How could I do this to him?
07:55If you could provide some names of friends
07:57or people that he mentioned...
07:59George Washington.
08:01Fred Nietzsche.
08:03He was ill, Mr. Hayes.
08:05Now you will forgive me,
08:07but I have a funeral to arrange.
08:15Get out!
08:29So what's new at the big house?
08:31Tommy Riccignano.
08:33Tommy Cap.
08:35I wonder what some mob muscle is doing
08:37soaking it up with the mad bomber.
08:39Let's find out.
08:53Mr. Bonero's eating at the moment.
08:55No, no, it's okay, Frankie.
08:57Old friend.
08:59Hey, Michael.
09:01John.
09:03Sid, you hungry? Eat.
09:05No, thanks.
09:07Yeah, right.
09:09Son of a gun's been overcooking his pasta for years.
09:11Ought to be a law.
09:13Tell me about Tommy Cap.
09:15He's a criminal.
09:17A criminal who grew up in your back pocket.
09:19You never know about the people working.
09:21Do you, Michael?
09:23Well, what I do know
09:25is that Tommy Cap wouldn't pick his nose
09:27while we are meeting here.
09:29John, if I find out you're connected to this,
09:31I'm gonna come back here.
09:33I do not know who you're talking about.
09:35Troy Van Wagner.
09:37Sorry.
09:39Delivery kid's been sick.
09:41Consequently, I haven't read my paper
09:43the last few days,
09:45but I'll tell you this, Michael.
09:47If Tommy Cap's involved with some sort of crap
09:49with this Van Gogh character,
09:51it's because he's got more linguine
09:53in his skinny head than brains.
09:55Okay?
09:57Okay, so you have nothing to do with this.
09:59Hey, but I lied to you.
10:09Hi.
10:11Draft.
10:13TNT.
10:15Blacker X.
10:17Tiny black knee.
10:19Scotch.
10:21If nothing, I'll take scotch.
10:23That's nice.
10:25You want some peanuts?
10:27Fortunately, the quack who calls himself
10:29a doctor says
10:31me and the devil cholesterol
10:33don't see eye to eye.
10:35I'll get you change.
10:37Why don't you keep it, Caitlin?
10:41Caitlin Hayes, right?
10:43Brand-new waitress and
10:45sister-in-law of our very own
10:47U.S. attorney, Michael.
10:49Do I know you?
10:51You're of the best jump shot in the outer boroughs.
10:55How do you want?
10:57At the moment, nothing. Tomorrow morning, however,
10:59I'd like to speak with Michael, say 7 a.m.
11:01at this address.
11:05You know, there's a pay phone next to the men's room.
11:07Funny thing, though.
11:13As luck would have it,
11:15I'm clean out of change.
11:21Did you get a name?
11:23I'd remember something like that, Michael.
11:25He knew everything about me,
11:27that I just started at the bar.
11:29You think one of the other waitresses talked to him?
11:31About Danny?
11:33Nobody at the bar knows that I have a son, Michael,
11:35and they sure as hell don't know that my brother-in-law
11:37is a U.S. attorney.
11:39Okay, that's true. Now, it's important to remember
11:41this is about me and not you, Caitlin.
11:43That is not comforting.
11:45Okay, okay. Listen, I'm gonna take care of it.
11:47I'm gonna take care of it.
11:49What did he look like?
11:51I don't know.
11:53He's like anybody.
11:55But he talked funny.
11:57Funny how?
11:59Like, what the hell's he doing in a bar like that?
12:01Like, you know, he should be on public television
12:03talking about Greek poets or something.
12:05Mm.
12:07Okay, I'm gonna go and talk to him.
12:09You're really gonna go there?
12:11Yeah, let's find out what he wants.
12:13Find out what he wants.
12:15And if you hear from him again,
12:17you call me immediately.
12:19Okay? Now, hang in there.
12:21All right?
12:23Yes.
12:43Thank you for coming, Mr. Hayes.
12:45Think it'll rain?
12:51Who are you?
12:53A friend of a friend.
12:55Makes us friends once removed, I suppose.
12:59Why am I here?
13:03I come out here to smoke.
13:05Only place the wife's spies won't nab me.
13:11Right.
13:13Why should you care about my marital woes?
13:17Troy Van Wagner.
13:19Ring a bell?
13:21You know why he's dead.
13:23I know you should let him rest in peace.
13:25Let's go to my office and talk about it.
13:27If we leave here,
13:29I doubt you'll ever see me again.
13:31I said, Mr. Hayes,
13:33I'm here as a friend.
13:35I don't want to see you get hurt.
13:37And your family?
13:39Here's a hint about my family.
13:41When you ever come close to them again,
13:43you will cease to exist.
13:45Did you hear me?
13:47It's not me you should worry about.
13:49If you step on enough toes,
13:51you're bound to get a foot in the face.
13:53Sounds like a fortune cookie.
13:55I can lock you up right now.
13:57Sure you can,
13:59but you'd know nothing more than you know now.
14:01And I'd wind up like old Roy,
14:03which, believe me,
14:05would be the least of my worries.
14:07These are very serious people, Mr. Hayes.
14:09They can get to anyone,
14:11by threat, by seduction.
14:13Well, sometimes they get to you,
14:15you don't even know it.
14:17I.E. Van Wagner.
14:19Exactly.
14:21The poor slob couldn't even light a match
14:23that got the world convinced he's a serial bomber.
14:25Don't think you're immune, Michael.
14:29Can I call you Michael?
14:31No.
14:33Do yourself a solid
14:35in this Van Wagner business.
14:37Go.
14:39What if I don't?
14:45Expect a lot more rainy days.
15:03Michael,
15:05Jenny Preston is here to see you.
15:07She says she's Willie Boyd's girlfriend.
15:09Send her in.
15:11Uh, Miss Preston?
15:15They have been
15:17in my home.
15:19They have been
15:21in my home!
15:23What happened?
15:25Someone broke into my apartment.
15:27Did they take anything?
15:29It just went through my desk.
15:31God, if I knew what they wanted,
15:33I wouldn't have brought it to them.
15:35Who is they?
15:37How the hell should I know?
15:39Whoever killed Willie and Warren?
15:41Well, we haven't proven that those two deaths
15:43are related yet.
15:45Now, that nutjob, Van Wagner,
15:47this isn't a coincidence.
15:49The ledgers
15:51that Willie took from the bank,
15:53did you find anything?
15:55Not yet.
15:57It is in there.
15:59It has got to be in there.
16:01Willie...
16:03Willie found something about Barclay Brothers.
16:05Isn't it obvious they'll kill
16:07to keep it quiet?
16:09Does that mean anything to you?
16:11That's a postcard Willie sent Warren
16:13while you two were in Hawaii.
16:19Is this important?
16:21I don't know yet.
16:23Do you have a relative you could stay with out of town?
16:25Oh, yeah.
16:27Get them killed, too.
16:29I'm staying with Martha,
16:31Warren's wife.
16:33She has a doorman.
16:35So I can reach you there if anything comes up?
16:37Yeah. Thanks.
16:41Move.
16:43Don't you just love it
16:45when two pieces of the puzzle
16:47come together nice and easy?
16:49What pieces?
16:51Okay, Tommy Cap, the goon in Sing Sing
16:53who more likely than not whacked Van Wagner.
16:55Guess who represented him at his extortion trial?
16:57Who?
16:59Maddie Wyman. Same Maddie Wyman
17:01who helped Van Wagner get out of the nuthouse.
17:03Same Maddie Wyman who represents John Bonero,
17:05head of the family.
17:07So one of Maddie Wyman's clients kills another.
17:09Is that a coincidence?
17:11I'm thinking the lawyer knows why.
17:13It's no secret. I've represented John Bonero for years.
17:15A friend of his stubs his toe,
17:17I get a call. It shouldn't be front page.
17:19No.
17:21But when one of your clients
17:23kills another, has Tommy Cap
17:25been involved with anything new?
17:27You tell us. Okay, Michael.
17:29You got me.
17:31I confess.
17:33Four years ago,
17:35I got Roy Van Wagner out of a mental institution
17:37so I could have him framed
17:39for the murder of Willie Boyd.
17:41Then I had him whacked in a prison toilet
17:43by a petty punk
17:45whose case I sabotaged
17:47just so I could cover my tracks.
17:49Oh.
17:51I'm good, Michael.
17:53I'm the best.
17:55But nobody's that good.
17:59That Maddie Wyman,
18:01she's dancing as fast as she can.
18:03She said what?
18:05What?
18:07She said Van Wagner
18:09was framed for Willie Boyd's murder.
18:11Slip of the tongue.
18:13She meant Boyd.
18:15How did she know he had a brother?
18:17Well, I guess I'm kind of confused
18:19because I thought that you caught the man
18:21who sent the bomb.
18:23Well, we may have been wrong about that.
18:25But the FBI agent Becker...
18:27Tell him, Marty.
18:29Miss Preston.
18:31Miss Preston is
18:33Willie Boyd's girlfriend.
18:35She was with him in Hawaii
18:37when he had his accident.
18:39Accident. Yeah, right.
18:41Stop it, Jenny.
18:43Where are we going to hide Marty?
18:45You tell me where we'll be safe,
18:47and I'll shut up.
18:51We thought they were crazy.
18:53Warren and Willie.
18:55Joke's on us.
18:57Do you think they were into something criminal?
18:59You could say that.
19:01Willie ran for Congress.
19:03No, that was four years ago, honey.
19:05We don't know that that had anything to...
19:07What else could it be?
19:09He never got past the primary.
19:11We all told him it was a waste of time
19:13to run against Holdsworth,
19:15but why would Willie listen to us?
19:17Or Warren.
19:19Warren ran his campaign.
19:21Polls closed at 7.
19:23At 7.15, all three local news stations
19:25predicted Willie lost.
19:27Big surprise, right?
19:29But what Willie couldn't get out of his head
19:31was that they also predicted the voter count
19:33to within 320 votes
19:35of an eventual count of 90,000-something.
19:37All three stations.
19:39He should have let it go.
19:41Are you suggesting that someone fixed that election?
19:43No, but, you know,
19:45you couldn't tell Willie that.
19:47I'm curious why you didn't mention this
19:49the first time we spoke.
19:51Who in their right mind would connect two murders
19:53to a dinky primary?
19:55Willie had no chance in hell of winning anyway.
19:57Sounds like you're ready to reconsider now, though.
20:03Tell them, Marty.
20:05Tell them.
20:07Oh.
20:11Warren told me
20:13that Willie had found something.
20:15He could prove some sort of fix was in.
20:17I didn't pay any attention
20:19until Jenny told me about the car crash.
20:21Did Willie ever mention what it was he uncovered?
20:27I listened to him babble for four years.
20:31I didn't want to hear any more.
20:37Maybe I shouldn't have paid attention, huh?
20:42Robert Holdsworth has held a seat
20:44in the 20th Congressional District since 1982.
20:46The last three elections, he ran unopposed.
20:48Doesn't sound like a primary that needed fixing.
20:53Meaning?
20:55Well, Martha Boyd lost her husband.
20:58Jenny lost her lover.
21:00Maybe they're looking for a reason.
21:02Is there something you're not telling us, Michael?
21:04Someone's on the phone, Michael.
21:06Who is it?
21:08Won't give a name.
21:10Said to tell you, Panopticon.
21:12Whatever that means.
21:14Mine, too.
21:19Let me catch up with you ladies, okay?
21:21Yeah.
21:23Okay.
21:33Did you make a positive I.D.?
21:35Did you make a positive I.D.?
21:37That diver's brought up her bag.
21:39We got all kinds of I.D.
21:41Virginia Preston.
21:43A girl goes in for a swim,
21:45ends up in the trunk of a Buick.
21:47Where are we going to hide, Marty?
21:49Don't you see I am next?
21:51Amy thinks she's going to go out on a hunt.
21:53When you get his report, I want to see it ASAP.
21:56You got it.
22:06What happens when you don't listen?
22:10There he is.
22:13I didn't get a name on you.
22:19You can call me Orwell.
22:21That's cute.
22:23That's cute.
22:25I like it.
22:27I like it.
22:29I like it.
22:31I like it.
22:33That's cute.
22:35That's cute.
22:37Is this you?
22:41If it is, what are you going to do, arrest me?
22:43Tell me about Panopticon.
22:45It's a circular personality.
22:47Tell me what it really is.
22:49Ha ha.
22:51Sorry, you've got to learn that.
22:53You insist on pursuing it.
22:55Humanly, it's my nature.
22:57Send the leading to the grasshopper.
22:59You don't want to know.
23:02Now!
23:04I'm getting the first offer.
23:06If you know something, I want you to tell me right now.
23:09Consequences?
23:11That's right.
23:13Well, let me know.
23:23I saw this.
23:25There's no safe.
23:27Tell me where it will lead me.
23:29If you're lucky, to real power.
23:31If I'm not.
23:33Ask Willie Boyd.
23:35Or his lady friend.
23:49Michael, Rose Payton is here to see you.
23:52Okay.
23:54You looking for that?
23:59Miss Payton.
24:01I had nowhere else to go those days.
24:03What can I do for you?
24:05The prison won't release my brother's body.
24:07That's standard procedure.
24:09We have to determine whether it was homicide or not.
24:11He was tortured in life.
24:13Please, just let him find some peace now.
24:15Just say it was a suicide and let me put an end to this.
24:19I can't do that yet.
24:21What difference does it make if somebody killed him?
24:23He's still dead.
24:25Let me ask you a question.
24:27Has anyone approached you?
24:29Approached? What do you mean?
24:31Well, the man suspected of killing Roy has ties to organized crime.
24:35And I guess I'm wondering if you've been threatened or not.
24:39Oh, sorry.
24:41Stay.
24:43No.
24:45No one has approached me.
24:47I just want to bury Roy and get on with my life.
24:51Is that so difficult to understand?
24:53No, it's not.
24:55Then look into it.
25:07I followed up on the election angle
25:09with these Barclay ledgers that Willie's girlfriend gave us.
25:13Here.
25:15Take a look at the initials I've marked with the tabs.
25:19Looks like several payments over the years.
25:21Hmm, payments.
25:23M-E-S.
25:25Could be anything, right? Person, place, thing.
25:27But I called Albany.
25:29There are 116 corporations
25:31currently doing business in this state with those initials.
25:34One of them is called Media Election Services, Inc.
25:37And it's located right here in the apple.
25:39Do we know what they do?
25:41Not a clue.
25:43We've been around since the 60s.
25:45Basically, we keep the networks
25:47from getting too much ag on their collective faces.
25:49Would you mind explaining that?
25:51Dan rather flashes his projections,
25:53and then you flip it over to Peter Jennings.
25:55He's got the exact same numbers.
25:57Network statisticians all took the same classes?
25:59Computers put statisticians out of work ages ago, Mr. Hayes.
26:02Computers use the same software.
26:04You're getting warmer. Let me give you a for instance.
26:061964, California Republican primary.
26:09Television networks project victory for Barry Goldwater,
26:12while the morning papers pick Nellie Rockefeller.
26:15Somebody screwed up. So?
26:17Fourth Estate can't have that, Mr. Hayes.
26:19If we lose all confidence in the news media,
26:21then where would we be?
26:23So what happens is, the biggies all sit down
26:25and decide uniformity is the only way to breed public confidence.
26:28So you're saying the networks confer
26:30before they report results.
26:32That would waste time and money.
26:34They use the same computer. That's where we come in.
26:37And the networks pay you for the service?
26:39So to speak.
26:41So to speak. It's pretty spooky.
26:44It's a matter of public record. We got nothing to hide.
26:47Media owns us. Lock, stock, and laptop.
26:51And you never receive payments from outside sources?
26:53Never happen.
26:55At a minimum, it would have the appearance of impropriety.
26:58And at a maximum?
27:02I got a meeting.
27:05John, I need to speak to Russell Mackey today
27:08before he goes to the press.
27:27You've never heard of this?
27:29I used to.
27:32You've never heard of this?
27:34Are you kidding? It would have been a week-long series.
27:36Now, I contacted somebody I know
27:38who knows somebody who's a biggie at the network news.
27:40And what did they tell you?
27:42Oh, nothing big.
27:44Just that the government granted M.E.S. a legal monopoly to count votes.
27:47That's a private company.
27:49Monopoly?
27:51Makes you feel about two inches less.
27:53So what you're saying is the individual counties
27:55don't tabulate their own votes?
27:57They count them. You gotta have checks and balances.
27:59The votes are not tabulated until weeks after the polls close.
28:03Now, if those numbers don't agree with M.E.S.'s numbers
28:06and the media, who just happens to own M.E.S.,
28:09they don't report it, nobody ever knows.
28:12And nobody ever checks?
28:14Except for Boyd Brothers.
28:18Okay, what's so funny?
28:20Oh, I have an investigator that thinks
28:23I'm having a nervous breakdown over this.
28:26Look, the investment bank that Willie Boyd worked for...
28:29Barclays.
28:31They've been slipping big bucks to M.E.S., U.T.C.
28:33That's under the table.
28:35Now, you slipping up, some geek's pinky is gonna slip
28:38and hit the wrong button on the keyboard.
28:40Mikey, the government,
28:42pal, the entire country,
28:44could be hostage to a cabal, faceless corporation.
28:46Hey!
28:48Idiot! Up yours!
28:50Shirk, you have such a drinking problem.
28:53Wait a minute.
28:57You remember that footage on George Bush?
29:00It ran on TV every day.
29:02I do.
29:04The war hero being fished out of the drink after being shot down.
29:06There's something that always bugs me about that.
29:08He was shot in color.
29:10Meaning?
29:12Come on. 1944.
29:14Who but Frank Capper was shooting color film in 1944?
29:16I always thought that that was the right place, right time.
29:20What do you think now?
29:22Now I think maybe fate got a major kick in the booties.
29:24Let's do a what-if here.
29:26What if this guy was picked for the Oval Office
29:2940 years before he even thought about running?
29:31Now, you have to agree,
29:33he would owe somebody something big time.
29:35Now, play it out, Mikey.
29:37The media is not just a message.
29:39It's the damn reality.
29:41Whoa!
29:43I'll tell you, this is the kind of story
29:45us old pros call a whopper.
29:47Then you're not gonna do anything with it.
29:49Don't worry about it, Mikey. I'll spell your name right.
29:51You're not listening to me.
29:53You're not gonna touch it, Russell.
29:55The last person that ordered me not to publish
29:57was a certain Senator from Massachusetts
29:59when the presidential election...
30:01Russell, I'm not ordering you to do anything.
30:03I am collecting on 25 years of favors.
30:05If the Boyd brothers were killed over this,
30:07I want to prove it in court, not in your column.
30:09Okay? Are you serious?
30:11I'm serious, Russell.
30:13Serious as a heart attack.
30:18It's kicking my ass that this could happen in America.
30:21Wall Street fixing elections
30:23and using a mob to cover its tracks.
30:25Eddie, I would think you of all people...
30:27Don't even think about going there, John.
30:29I was referring to your suspicious nature.
30:31So are we saying the Barclay brothers
30:33rigged a congressional election?
30:35Why stop there?
30:37Let's say they put the president in office, too.
30:39The answer's gotta be in the postcard
30:41Willie sent to Warren.
30:43Answer to what?
30:45Connecting the players. I don't know.
30:47People listen to themselves. Come on, now.
30:49You're acting like this is Big Brother zip code.
30:51Michael, they're gonna laugh you out of court.
30:53Won't be the first time.
30:55Jenny, would you recap, please?
30:57Okay. Um...
31:01A Wall Street investment bank
31:03has been writing checks to the company
31:05that tabulates election results
31:07for broadcast to the American people.
31:09Willie Boyd, who worked for Barclay brothers,
31:11sends his brother Warren
31:13an undecipherable postcard
31:15before each of their untimely deaths.
31:17The homeless, paranoid schizophrenic
31:19surfaces as the apparent killer of Warren
31:21and is allegedly strangled in the prison shower
31:23by one Tommy Kapp Bertigliano,
31:25a long-time associate
31:27of mob boss John Bernaro.
31:29If we can find a link,
31:33we could prove conspiracy.
31:35If you add another name,
31:37you might be able to.
31:47Maddie Wyman.
31:51I want to subpoena all her files.
31:53Okay?
31:57I'm sorry, Miss Wyman's in conference.
31:59I can't disturb her. This is a federal subpoena,
32:01which means she can and she will be disturbed
32:03right now. It's okay, Gwen.
32:05Are you in charge,
32:07Miss Strauss? Yes, I am.
32:09Good for you.
32:11Expedited motion to quash her subpoena.
32:13Hearing's tomorrow, Judge Webster's chamber
32:15at 9 a.m.
32:17Oh, and, uh, thanks for saving me
32:19the cost of a process.
32:29Nobody's been indicted, Your Honor.
32:31Nobody's been charged with any crime.
32:33That will change as soon as I receive the materials
32:35I'm looking for. This is a fishing
32:37expedition, pure and simple.
32:39No, it's harassment, Your Honor, of me
32:41and my clients, purely on counsel's whim.
32:43That whim you are referring to,
32:45Your Honor thought was sufficient enough to amount
32:47to probable cause. For what?
32:49Why don't you explain it for the record, Counselor?
32:51Thank you, Your Honor. We believe
32:53that Roy Van Wagner was murdered
32:55by one Thomas Bertigliano in a federal
32:57facility. Miss Wyman represents
32:59both men. We feel she may be
33:01withholding evidence to motive for
33:03said crime. Attorney-client.
33:05Privilege, attorney, work product.
33:07Has Mr. Hayes never heard of these concepts?
33:09We further feel that there is an ongoing conspiracy
33:11to cover this crime and others.
33:13If that is the case, it nullifies privilege.
33:15With all due respect, the United States
33:17attorney is bootstrapping.
33:19He's willing to violate privilege
33:21in order to see if privilege can be
33:23violated. And this day I'm good at it, too.
33:25I'm going to dismiss defense
33:27motion to quash. Your Honor! Hold your
33:29horses, Counselor. All documents
33:31will be submitted through my clerk with
33:33the instructions to redact any
33:35items that will violate privilege
33:37or any issues not pertinent to the government's
33:39investigation.
33:41Thank you, Your Honor.
33:45Michael.
33:47Talk about putting a chill on the defense bar.
33:49The nice man cometh, Maddy.
33:51You're implying I'm involved in Van Wagner's murder.
33:53Van Wagner, Warren Boyd, that's the beauty
33:55of the conspiracy. You're all tied together.
33:57I'll have the files sent to Chambers.
33:59I have marshals at your offices.
34:01You don't trust
34:03me at all, do you, Michael?
34:05Should I,
34:07Maddy?
34:11What are you all excited about,
34:13Maddy?
34:15The U.S. Attorney sniffing through my files.
34:17How's that for starters?
34:19Your files, John. Tommy Kapp.
34:21Is there
34:23anything in there connecting either
34:25of us to Van Wagner's death?
34:27Of course not.
34:29So what's the problem?
34:31That I am out
34:33on a very shaky limb
34:35alone. You told me you'd
34:37protect me. You told me these people would have all the bases
34:39covered. John Bernaro doesn't
34:41lie.
34:43Especially to his beautiful
34:45attorney.
34:47So you think
34:49we can trust these guys, John?
34:51If we can't, I get mad.
34:53And you know what happens when I
34:55get mad.
34:57Now leave. You'll feel better. Relax.
35:03Listen
35:05to this.
35:07John Bernaro owns three trucking companies,
35:09an art gallery in Soho,
35:11and he's the major shareholder in
35:13four publicly traded companies.
35:15Michael, we're bigger
35:17than U.S. Steel.
35:19What do we have? Besides a hernia?
35:21Well, Ms. Wyman certainly killed
35:23a lot of trees. Paper trail, lawyer's curse.
35:25She's either kosher or doing a lot of cleaning up
35:27because there's no mention of Van Wagner anywhere.
35:29Or either one of the boys. Okay, let's keep looking.
35:31Wait a second.
35:33All notions of democracy, freedom, choice,
35:35free elections are an illusion. Sound familiar?
35:37Van Wagner's manifesto.
35:39The original handwritten copy.
35:41Looks like all 30,000 words.
35:45Wyman could have sent a copy to the newspaper
35:47to set Van Wagner up.
35:51Have her in my office first thing tomorrow.
36:01Listen to your own advice.
36:03Michael.
36:05For all we know,
36:07this whole election thing is absurd as it sounds.
36:11Hmm. But something is not right.
36:15Okay.
36:17Okay.
36:21Do you want to tell me who's really running the country?
36:25The Trekkies.
36:27The Trekkies.
36:29People in velour shirts.
36:33Conventions.
36:37This is really ridiculous.
36:39I gotta go.
36:41The sitter's probably fast asleep.
36:51Is it possible?
36:53Is it possible
36:55that
36:57everything we've been taught
36:59is not only wrong
37:01but a carefully constructed lie?
37:03Is it possible
37:05that everything we hold as fact,
37:07history,
37:09science,
37:11even ourselves,
37:13is deception?
37:17Is that possible?
37:19Is that possible?
37:25Wait, wait, wait.
37:37Who are you springing for in Elevate?
37:39Oh, excuse me.
37:41Katelyn. Katelyn Russell.
37:43Hi. Hi.
37:45You gonna be okay?
37:47I'm gonna be fine.
37:49You? Yeah. Okay.
37:51Tomorrow? I'll talk to you tomorrow.
37:53All right. Bye.
37:55Bye. Come on in.
37:57I hope I didn't interrupt anything.
38:01You got something?
38:03Think so. Come here.
38:07Now,
38:09I've been playing around with that postcard
38:11that Willie Boyd sent from Hawaii. Uh-huh.
38:13Now, this is what was written on the card, right?
38:15I'm thinking to myself,
38:17maybe we're focusing it on the wrong thing.
38:19Maybe it's not the numbers that are important
38:21but the word.
38:23So I start doodling around, you know,
38:25switching letters and whatnot.
38:27The problem is, I was never a wizard anagram,
38:29so I get nowhere quick.
38:31You came across town to tell me you're illiterate?
38:33No. I spent the cab fare to tell you
38:35that I can count at least up to seven,
38:37which just happens to be
38:39the number of letters in the word revisit.
38:41So tell me, counselor,
38:43what else is seven... A phone number.
38:45Mm-hmm. Bingo.
38:47So I start staring at my dial.
38:49Whose number is it?
38:51Rose Payton.
38:53Ben Wagner's sister.
38:57I never went to law school,
38:59but to me,
39:01this earns her a visit.
39:03Mrs. Payton's been here
39:05since I bought the place,
39:0712 years ago. When did she move out?
39:09This afternoon.
39:11Two hours. She just cleaned out the whole place.
39:13I moved down the hall once. Took me a week.
39:15Did she say where she was going?
39:17No.
39:19She didn't even take her deposit.
39:21Five to two. The post office doesn't have
39:23a phone address.
39:25She set up her brother. End of story.
39:27Case closed.
39:29Damn it, Michael. You might have time
39:31to go on a ridiculous scavenger hunt,
39:33but I've got a practice to run.
39:35If I were you, I would put that in past tense, Maddie.
39:37What? I pulled some strings
39:39to get a client out of a speeding ticket?
39:41Ben Wagner's original
39:43handwritten manifesto.
39:45It should have been a little more thorough.
39:49Well, I haven't seen that in a long time.
39:53It still doesn't prove anything.
39:55It certainly doesn't make me complicit
39:57in a homicide. If I were you,
39:59I would reread my conspiracy laws,
40:01counselor.
40:03You son of a bitch.
40:09I'm not going away, Maddie.
40:11As we speak, there's a federal judge
40:13executing a warrant for the Barclay brothers' files.
40:15Four people were murdered
40:17to cover up rigged elections.
40:19I'm going to bring down everyone involved,
40:21and if Rose Payton is involved,
40:23I'm going to find her and prosecute her.
40:25That's a promise.
40:27It's business, Michael.
40:29It's business.
40:31It's business.
40:33It's business.
40:35It's business.
40:37It's business, Michael.
40:39Their naivete is their
40:41consolation. You're going to
40:43take that away from them? Sure.
40:45Go ahead. Prosecute
40:47me. But I assure you
40:49you've got your claws in the wrong tree.
40:51Would you like to call your lawyer now?
40:53Oh, is this where it happens?
40:55The pancake man flip me up the daisy chain?
40:57Your choice.
41:03What happened to you, Maddie?
41:07What happened?
41:19John Bonero,
41:21you've been arrested for murder and conspiracy
41:23to commit election fraud.
41:25Come here.
41:37I'm from the
41:39United States Attorney's Office.
41:41This is a search warrant for all your files
41:43for the last ten years.
41:51You do actually
41:53think it was luck that bumped you upstairs?
41:55They came to me.
41:57And they will again.
41:59I want the names.
42:03Maybe I'll wait for my lawyer.
42:05Maybe I'll wait for my lawyer this time.
42:07Suit yourself.
42:11Gentlemen.
42:15Madeline Wyman,
42:17you're under arrest for election fraud
42:19and conspiracy to commit murder.
42:23Don't fool yourself, Michael.
42:25There's no turning back.
42:29Take her.
42:35Shit.
42:41Good afternoon, Mr. Hayes.
42:47Tell me about Rose Pate.
42:49Gone with the wind.
42:53The thing is, I saw this kid on the news.
42:55Filled Madison Square Garden
42:57with 10,000 dominoes.
42:59Tickled the first one
43:01ever so slightly.
43:03Two hours later,
43:05the last one
43:07came crashing down.
43:11There's more.
43:13Heart of darkness, my friend.
43:15You're not even close.
