100. JIMMY (CONT'D) You waiting for me to say something? ROBERT I told you not to take the toll. JIMMY Yes, you did. ROBERT I said "Listen to what I have to tell you and follow my directions, listen to me closely, do the following just like I say." JIMMY Yes. You said all that. ROBERT But you took the toll. JIMMY No, I did not. ROBERT Come on, Jimmy, don't fucking lie to me... JIMMY I'm not! I took ninety-five all the Goddamn way there. I did what you said: I didn't stop. I didn't take the Triborough. I followed all your fucking instructions. ROBERT So where'd they get the picture? JIMMY You tell me. ROBERT So, you're saying... it's a fake? JIMMY How'd you get so rich again? ROBERT Jimmy... JIMMY Hey, Jimmy nothing. This is my life, man! Earl's telling me it could be ten years. Ten fucking years! How much are ten years worth? EFTA_R1_02008901 EFTA02685464

101. ROBERT Don't make me answer that. JIMMY Look man, I told you, I ain't a fuckin' snitch, but this is really bad. Reina and I got a whole plan we're about to make happen next week! ROBERT What plan? JIMMY I got money saved; I'm buying a business. ROBERT What business? JIMMY I bought an Applebee's. ROBERT What's an Applebee's? JIMMY It's a fucking restaurant, man, it's a chain restaurant. ROBERT You bought an Applebee's in Virginia? JIMMY Is this really what you came here to talk about? What are you gonna do? ROBERT It's not that simple, Jimmy. I have people depending on me. JIMMY Yeah, me! ROBERT No, I mean, I'm in a situation now... JIMMY What situation? ROBERT I told you... right now, if I were to speak, a lot of people would get hurt. Can you try to understand that? EFTA_R1_02008902 EFTA02685465

102. JIMMY And what about me? What about my situation? (off his silence) They showed me pictures, man; that's fucked up what you did. And yeah, I know, all the people counting on you, whatever, but you told me Earl was gonna make this right. Now you know I care about you, all the things you did for us, I owe you, okay, but man-- Earl said they're offering me a deal, no charges at all. I walk away. They just want to know who I went to pick up. (beat) Why are you putting me in this position? ROBERT (standing) Can you just hang tight? Just a little longer? JIMMY Alright, man, but Earl said the deal's on the table for twenty-four hours. After that, they're filing the case, and Earl says we're gonna lose. ROBERT (nods) I hear you. I'll be back with you as soon as I can. Just hang on. Jimmy nods. Robert walks out. Reina crosses back into the living room as he approaches the door and exits. REINA You have to give him up. JIMMY You said take the money. REINA That was to keep quiet, not to go away. (beat) What's he offering you now? JIMMY What can he offer me? INT. ROBERT'S LIMO - NIGHT The limo drives down Fifth Avenue. Robert's on the phone. EFTA_R1_02008903 EFTA02685466

103. SID (O.S.) We went to the toll authority. They said they gave the tape to the cops. I've requested our investigator go examine it at the evidence room, but what's the point? ROBERT He says he didn't take the toll. SID (O.S.) And you believe him? ROBERT (after a beat) Does Morgan have clawback? SID (O.S.) I don't take your meaning? ROBERT Let's say I decide to go in... SID (O.S.) Have you lost your mind? ROBERT No, just listen. If I were to surrender now, could they undo the sale? SID (O.S.) (after a beat) No, what's done is done. There's no intent to defraud. You haven't warranted any behavior. So it's just money. ROBERT Four years, you think? SID (O.S.) At this point- I dunno, they're not gonna make it easy.... I really suggest you think about this. ROBERT (beat) Call the DA, get it started. Robert hangs up. He stares out the window at Central Park. INT. ROBERT'S MANSION - NIGHT He enters the foyer and ascends the steps to his bedroom. EFTA_R1_02008904 EFTA02685467

104. INT. ROBERT'S BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS No Ellen. He looks at his watch: "11:30PM." He moves over towards the bed and dials the tableside PHONE. ROBERT (into phone) Yes. Did Mrs. Miller say where she was going tonight...? Aha... No, I'm sure... I'll try her cell. He clicks off and DIALS another number, hears Ellen's voice mail come on the line, and hangs up. He exhales and lies down on the bed in his clothes, staring at the ceiling. He lies motionless a moment. And then he sits up, thinks, and shakes his head. He quickly picks up the phone, stabbing at the keys. ROBERT (CONT'D) (into phone) Sid...? Yeah- call Earl, tell him to get his car and meet us at my house in twenty minutes... And, Sid...? Bring a notary. EXT. TRIBOROUGH BRIDGE - NIGHT A steady stream of rain-soaked CARS passes through the toll. We follow a BLUE LEXUS as it approaches the far right lane. INT. LEXUS - SAME Earl Monroe pays the TOLL CLERK through the window, getting a RECEIPT. Then he pulls his car to the side of the road, parking at a BUILDING labelled "Port Authority - Administration." He opens a LAPTOP on the passenger seat, typing numbers from the toll receipt into a little box on the screen. A portable PRINTER spits out pages. Earl stamps them with a NOTARY. INT. TOLL AUTHORITY - NIGHT Earl waits at the front desk of the drab government office. BRENT, a balding man in his 30's, approaches. BRENT I'm Brent Owens, the night supervisor. How can I help you? E FTA_R 1_02008905 EFTA02685468

105. EARL (handing him some papers) Hello, Brent. I'm executing a criminal evidence subpoena. I need to get a look at one of your lane tapes. Brent looks over the papers, confused. BRENT I don't understand. This says you want to look at a tape made ten minutes ago...? INT. ROBERT'S LIMO - CONTINUOUS Robert and Sid stare ahead, silently. Sid tries to say something. ROBERT (holding up his hand) Just wait. Sid slumps back. They keep staring at nothing. EXT. TRIBOROUGH BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS Robert's limo idles by the side of the road, hazards flashing. Earl jogs up to it, trying to keep dry. INT. ROBERT'S LIMO - CONTINUOUS A RAPPING noise on the window startles Sid, who rolls it down, sees Earl, and opens the door. Earl climbs inside, removing a dripping-wet PLASTIC BAG from his breast pocket as he talks. EARL They won't release tapes without a court order, but they gave me a print out, the same kind they used at Jimmy's indictment. Earl reaches inside the bag and removes the PHOTOGRAPH he got from the toll authority. He lays it on the counter. It's from a toll camera, showing his car and license plate. ROBERT (to Earl) The Lexus- that's your car, your plate? Earl nods. EFTA_R1_02008906 EFTA02685469

106. ROBERT (CONT'D) (to Sid) Where's Jimmy's? Sid lays the PHOTOGRAPH we saw earlier of Jimmy's car going through the toll onto the counter next to the one Earl has just placed there. Robert picks up a high-end MAGNIFYING GLASS and leans over to look at the two photos. CLOSE-UP: He scans the photograph of Earl's car, moving slowly through it left-to-right. Then he scans the photograph of jimmy's car, passing left-to- right until -- He passes back by the license plate area and stops -- The lines around the license plate of Jimmy's car are all slightly-pixelated. He switches back to the plate on Earl's car. The lines are fine. Back to Jimmy's. Pixelated. Robert puts down the magnifier, straightens, and smiles. INT. JUDGE'S CHAMBERS - THE NEXT DAY Earl sits across from DA Deferlito and Gower. JUDGE RITTENBAND reviews both TOLL PHOTOS with a MAGNIFYING GLASS. RITTENBAND They look a little different to me, too... Is there a reason you haven't allowed Mr. Monroe's investigator to conduct his own analysis? DEFERLITO We've had some issues regarding chain-of-title... RITTENBAND ...You don't have them anymore. You're to meet him with the evidence in the next hour. DEFERLITO I'm afraid that's not possible. A beat. E FTA_R 1_02008907 EFTA02685470

107. RITTENBAND Where's the tape? (another beat) Am I not speaking loud enough? GOWER Your honor... RITTENBAND Yes? DEFERLITO It seems there's been... RITTENBAND ...Let him tell me. GOWER We can't find it. RITTENBAND Come again? GOWER It's not in the evidence locker. RITTENBAND Where is it? GOWER We don't know. Silence. Rittenband gets up, paces. RITTENBAND I'll ask you one last time, detective. Where is the tape? GOWER (after a beat) We lost it. RITTENBAND (sits) In light of these developments, and I would think you should be very happy to hear this, with Mr. Monroe's approval I'm going to offer Mr. Deferlito the opportunity to voluntarily dismiss the indictment to save us all a bunch of embarrassment. E FTA_R 1_02008908 EFTA02685471

108. DEFERLITO I don't feel comfortable with that, your honor. RITTENBAND Further I'm going to put all charges against Mr. Grant under seal. The case is dismissed with prejudice and it is not to be refiled. If you have another suspect in the automobile death then go ahead and present them, but Mr. Grant is free from any further inquiry in this matter. This is over. Do I have your understanding? INT. JUDGE'S CHAMBERS - EXIT HALL Everyone is filing out. As Gower hits the door, Judge Rittenband grabs his arm. RITTENBAND Hang on a second... GOWER Yes, your honor? RITTENBAND (beat) You finessed that, didn't you...? GOWER I'm sorry? RITTENBAND .You fucking finessed it. I know it, and you know it. GOWER ...Judge... RITTENBAND (puts his hand on Gower's arm, leans in) Pon't finesse it. I know who you're after. And I saw all the evidence, not just the toll pictures. But you gotta get him the right way. GOWER (beat) We don't have anything. E FTA_R 1_02008909 EFTA02685472

109. RITTENBAND Hey... Time is on your side. Just hang in. Maybe you'll get lucky. INT. COURTHOUSE HALL - MOMENTS LATER Mills waits on a nearby bench, watching as Gower exits the chambers, confused. DeFerlito walks up to Gower, yells at him, then walks off. Mills approaches. MILLS What happened? INT. JIMMY'S APARTMENT - LATER Jimmy takes a last look around his near-empty one-bedroom, a GYM BAG slung over his shoulder. He pulls out his cell and DIALS, closing the front door behind him. JIMMY (into phone) Rei...? Yeah, I'll be by in a little. EXT. BENCH OUTSIDE COFFEE SHOP ON IRVING - AFTERNOON Robert and Jimmy sit. Jimmy looks at the TRUST DOCUMENT. ROBERT You didn't hurt anybody. You helped a lot of people. JIMMY And now this makes it all okay? ROBERT No, it just makes it easier. JIMMY (beat) You worried I'm gonna say something? ROBERT No. Jimmy keeps staring at the document. ROBERT (CONT'D) So... Why Applebee's? JIMMY Rei's cousin works in the foreclosure office down there, and he's smart. EFTA_R1_02008910 EFTA02685473

110. ROBERT How much did they owe? JIMMY 40k. ROBERT And you bought it for that? JIMMY Yup. ROBERT Where'd you get 40k? (no answer) You dealing again? JIMMY You're asking me that like, what, outta parental concern or some shit? A beat. ROBERT You've grown up a lot since we first met. I'm sorry I wasn't around for more of it. I'm sorry about a lot of things. JIMMY Oh, save it, man. You asked me to come down here, so I came, not to get your "thanks" and your "sorries" but cause I wanted to get something straight between us, and that's this: we're even. ROBERT No. What you did was beyond money. JIMMY Nothing's beyond money for you. (pointing to the document) And if I take this, then what does that say about me? He thinks a moment, then folds the document and puts it in his pocket. JIMMY (CONT'D) Fuck it. I'm gonna take your money and do something good with it. They stand and shake hands. EFTA_R1_02008911 EFTA02685474

INT. ROBERT'S BEDROOM - NIGHT Ellen is dressed in a full BALL GOWN. She sits at a table finishing her MARE-UP. Robert enters and begins changing into a TUXEDO. She doesn't say anything. He waits a moment, then... ROBERT (tying his tie) What? She ignores him. ROBERT (CONT'D) What is it? ELLEN You spoke to Brooke? He slows... Something's brewing. ROBERT Did she tell you that? ELLEN No. She didn't have to. He stops tying his tie, approaches Ellen. ROBERT Ellen... ELLEN Oh, don't. ROBERT What? ELLEN Just don't. He slumps against the wall, waiting for the barrage to start. And then it comes. ELLEN (CONT'D) No, you don't have to worry, our daughter didn't tell me your little secret. ROBERT I explained to Brooke that... EFTA_R1_0200891 2 EFTA02685475

112. ELLEN ...you explained, did you? (a beat) Did you tell her everything? ROBERT Yes. ELLEN Everything? ROBERT Yes. ELLEN You're such a liar. You're such a fucking liar you even look me in the eyes when you lie to me. ROBERT Ellen... ELLEN You told her everything?! Lift up your shirt. He just stands there. ELLEN (CONT'D) LIFT UP YOUR SHIRT! He does. She sees the deep bruise from the accident. And then she picks up a NEWSPAPER from her make-up table and throws it at his broken rib. He winces, clutching his side, then looks down at the floor. It's the Post article chronicling Julie's death. ELLEN (CONT'D) Did you tell her about that? ROBERT (long beat) Ellen I don't know what you think you know... ELLEN Oh, no, no, no, no. We're not gonna do that. That is over between us. Over. ROBERT I never lied to you. EFTA_R1_02008913 EFTA02685476

113. ELLEN I know you weren't here. You've been sneaking off to see her for months. You don't think I know that? He tries to grab her. ELLEN (CONT'D) Get your hands off me! She's so forceful he immediately does. ELLEN (CONT'D) That privilege ended when you brought this into our home. I never cared about your secretaries, your- gallerists, whores, whatever you call them. I cared about our home. And you brought this to our door. ROBERT I did what was necessary. ELLEN What you did was take us all to the edge, and for what exactly? ROBERT Now you're gonna tell me how to run my business. ELLEN Your business? These are OUR things. Where do you think we're going tonight? Why do you think I've even tolerated this? ROBERT And why have I? Your endless hair treatments and exercise regimens, oh, and let's not forget, our sainted charities! Look at all your good works. How do you think I've paid for them? ELLEN I didn't ask questions so you didn't have to lie. But there was something we understood... ROBERT ...I did this to protect us! EFTA_R1_02008914 EFTA02685477

114. ELLEN ...and you broke that understanding when you brought Brooke into it. When you made her complicit and risked her future. I'm surprised you didn't ask her to help you get rid of your whore, too. You probably had someone else for that. ROBERT Don't say that to me, Ellen. ELLEN I can say whatever I like. And you know why I can say whatever I like? Because you -- are a dishonest man. I've tolerated it for a long time, (pointing at the newspaper) but that girl's dead, and you put us at risk for her. Our company's diseased, and you forced our daughter's hand in it. Those aren't indiscretions to feed your need for conquest. They go far beyond that. They are things I will pot tolerate. She opens a FOLDER revealing some legal documents, slides them toward him. ELLEN (CONT'D) And because it's over. Why don't you read those? He does. We see the title: "SEPARATION AGREEMENT" and hold on him reading for a few brief seconds until... ROBERT "All ownership and voting rights transfer to the Miller Charitable Foundation, to be administered by Brooke Miller?" Did you expect me to sign this? ELLEN You don't follow. ROBERT Apparently not. ELLEN (like talking to a child) The police have called me. I assume they want to know where you were that night. And you know what? I'm not gonna lie for you anymore. (MORE) EFTA_R1_02008915 EFTA02685478

115. ELLEN (CONT'D) I'm not gonna risk myself for you anymore. Not unless you sign that. A beat. ROBERT You're leaving me with nothing. ELLEN I think you'll manage on that. That and whatever you put away offshore for a storm. ROBERT (shakes head) This is insane. ELLEN If you sign, then I'll tell your lie. I'll say you were at home with me that night, all night. I'll become your accomplice, and you'll be free and clear. And our money will go to people who need it. That's my price. ROBERT You're out of your mind. I'm not going to sign this. ELLEN Oh you'll sign it, because if you don't - I'll tell them you came home at five thirty bleeding and bruised. ROBERT (laughs) That's ridiculous! ELLEN So what? It's enough to make trouble- the kind you don't want. In fact, Deuchman says it's enough for probable cause to subpoena your cell phone, GPS, DNA, whatever else they can think of. Now do you want to spend the next three years in court or at your desk? ROBERT (shakes head) You won't do it. You won't do it to the kids. EFTA_R1_02008916 EFTA02685479

116. ELLEN You just try me. ROBERT Ellen-- ELLEN And I know now you'll try to negotiate. You'll try to threaten me. You'll try to charm me. You might even try to beg, but at the end, you'll make due with this arrangement because you know that it's how it has to be. (slight pause) Then we'll wait a while until things settle. You can take the guest room. After that, you'll take your things, and you'll go. A beat. ROBERT Does it have to end like this? ELLEN You broke her heart. ROBERT It's how it all works, Ellen. You know this. ELLEN I do, but she didn't. ROBERT She's better for it. The world's cold. ELLEN (finishes dressing) Then you're gonna need a warm coat. INT. MAYFIELD'S LIMO - NIGHT The car rides up Madison Avenue. Mayfield marks up a bunch of memos in a leather-bound folder. An aide we met earlier, JOHN AIMES, sits nearby. AIMES There's just one more thing... And I hate to mention it now, but I just received it... EFTA_R1_0200891 7 EFTA02685480

117. MAYFIELD Speak, John. Aimes opens a FOLDER, handing it to Mayfield. AIMES I had Peat Marwick run a secondary audit on the Miller financials. We catch a glimpse of the top sheet as Mayfield reads: "KPMG CONFIDENTIAL AUDIT - MILLER CAPITAL - We have reviewed the records you submitted and have found no way to legitimately substantiate a recent capital transfer of $412 Million..." We hold on Mayfield's face as he tries hard to conceal the spreading realization. MAYFIELD Who authorized this? AIMES I did. MAYFIELD (after a beat) And what did you conclude? AIMES It's in front of you. MAYFIELD I didn't ask you what the paper said, John. I asked you what you thought. AIMES (after a beat, carefully) Well... what do you think? MAYFIELD I think... I think... that I don't see anything wrong here. Mayfield closes the folder and places it with the rest of his papers. Aimes nods. They arrive at the Pierre Hotel and exit the car. INT. PIERRE HOTEL - GRAND BALLROOM - NIGHT We see throngs of the wealthy ascend the steps leading up to the opulent hall. Lining the walls are plaques for: "Mt. Sinai Hospital - Miller Oncology Center." EFTA_R1_0200891 8 EFTA02685481

118. INT. GRAND BALLROOM - LATER Seated at one of the many round tables are Robert, Ellen, Peter, Gavin, Mayfield, Aimes, Jeffrey, and a few spouses and attendants. Chamber MUSIC plays while everyone eats dinner. We focus in on Robert as he stares intently out into the room, his eyes a mixture of ferocity and resignation. In the distance, we hear a SPEAKER'S voice fade in. It's Brooke. BROOKE ...and to receive this prestigious award, I invite now to the stage the man who led this generous effort, and whose financial trading firm, Miller Capital, has just this morning been acquired by JP Morgan, a dedicated businessman, family man, scholar, philanthropist and all-around humanitarian, a man I'm pleased to call my mentor, my friend -- and my father -- Mr. Robert Miller... Robert stands against deafening APPLAUSE as he makes his way to the stage and, in one continuous shot, gives Brooke a hug, takes the podium, opens his notes, and begins to talk. FADE TO BLACK.
