Darby contacts Grantham again and agrees to meet him in New York City, where she gives him the details of her brief that speculates the assassins were loyal to Victor Mattiece, an oil tycoon who intends to drill for it on a Louisiana marshland, a known habitat of an endangered species of brown pelicans. A court appeal to prevent such harm is expected to reach the Supreme Court, before the two slain justices, known for their history of environmentalism. Intelligently, Darby surmised Mattiece, hoping to turn the case in his favor, is behind the Justices' murder, so when Grantham tells her about "Garcia", they discover that the man is Curtis Morgan (Jake Weber), a lawyer at the White & Blazevich oil and gas division in Washington.
