Ben appears from one of the bedrooms commenting that this is a family home and that it couldn’t be touched by the FEDS. Ty introduces the two unlikely partners. Rod asks Ben about the charges he’s facing. Ben replies “Securities Fraud--.” Rod finishes his sentence, “with a little misappropriation of investor funds and some tax evasion sprinkled on top.” Ben is surprised that Rod seems to be well versed in the legal system. Rod tells him that there are not too many crimes that he hasn’t committed that deal with fraud or theft. Ben asks Ty and Anastasia to leave them alone, which she does reluctantly. Rod tells

Rod pauses and says that he’ll take $600 per hour. There is an awkward pause but Ben agrees. Rod tells him that its good that they are starting early since there is a lot he has to teach him about Prison life.
“So first, we need to know what kind of time you 're going to be doing.” We fast forward to

Securities Scandal. Ben is sentenced to 3 years at a much tougher federal prison than he expected and is ordered to report to prison in 30 days. The people in court glare at Ben with disgust. Rod shakes his head in disbelief. “Damn.” It all seems like a bad dream. Later the same day Ben and Rod are back at the condo and the mood is somber. Ben talks incessantly about his life being over. Rod tries to comfort him with stories of the things he learned, the fun he sometimes had, and the friends he made in prison.
