- That's a nice mug.

Where'd you get it?

I told my assistant

to get me one.

And where did she get it?

Meg!

Derek here wants to know

where you got the mug.

From a kitchen downstairs.

Okay. And why did you

choose that one?

Meg:
Because the other ones

were filthy.

Derek:
And why do you think

this one wasn't?

Meg:

Because the maid cleaned it.

Derek:
Incorrect. I cleaned this

mug because this mug is mine.

And what's mine is mine.

And what's yours is yours.

You're getting to a point.

Vanda corp is your client.

That blood's on your hands.

Oh. Oh, so now

you want to share.

Derek:

I can't share what isn't mine.

Vanda corp has filed

more than 100 account cases

through us

in the last two years.

Well, then I hope they have

a good case manager.

You mean managers.

No one can work a client

that big without delegating.

And according to the annual

work distribution sheet...

That hasn't been

updated in years.

one of vanda corp's complaint

cases was assigned...

to you.

File 45a.

I'm being set up.

Wow.

Heads will roll.

This will cost vanda...

give me this.

- This was planted.

- I'll cut you a deal.

- Plead guilty.

- Not guilty.

The corpse was found

inside your office.

You knew exactly

where to find it.

Do you want to

take this upstairs?

Great idea.

Take your file.

The siren:

Want to swipe your key card,

or should I swipe mine?

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot.

You don't have clearance.

My bad.

Don't you worry, little one.

Daddy will pay

for abandoning you

and leaving you to die

in that cold, dirty dumpster.

No, no.

You died when you drowned

because mommy left you

in the bathtub

while she went shopping

for shoes.

But don't worry.

Daddy will make her pay.

Too bad mommy outranks daddy.

Derek:

Mommy's a backstabbing b*tch.

The siren:

That's why mommy outranks daddy.

- Brenda, what's his mood?

- Brenda:
He's drawing.

Oh, sh*t.

John towers, capital "t" in tsc,

king of the castle,

top of the food chain,

and total f***ing maniac...

you know, your typical

American success story.

Did I mention that he also

dabbles in the fine arts?

Tell me what you see here.

I see that those soldiers'

lives are in danger, sir.

Do you think they'll make it?

No, sir.

The fuse is too short.

It's too late to run.

And what do you think

they should be doing instead?

May I, sir?

Hmm.

So simple and yet so effective.

Can you see it, Derek?

Can you see the solution

to our problem here?

I think you mean her problem

because she was the one that...

give me the file.

This is our bomb.

The fuse is already burning.

So should we run

like cowards and die?

We are brave, sir.

I'm so glad you said that,
