Two months after the hit and run, Lorna criticizes Haller for leaving the tracker in place and contributing to Earl’s death.
|
This does not happen in the TV series. |
|
La Cosse sends Haller an initial payment in the form of one kilogram of gold ($54,000). Haller had requested $25,000 to start, more if they went to trial.
|
After talking to La Cosse in jail, Haller is told he will get the fee delivered. The next morning Haller gets a package delivered to him with a gold bar in it, from La Cosse. Izzy brings the gold bar to a store and gets $56,000 which she puts in the firm’s operating account. David (Julian’s partner) comes to talk to Lorna about getting La Cosse out on bail.

Haller handled La Cosse’s civil suit and settled for $2.4 million plus medical bills. Haller’s cut was the firms single biggest paycheck; he gave everyone bonuses and sent Earl’s mother $100,000. Heller went on a Hawaii vacation and bought two low mileage 2011 Lincoln Town Cars. |
The state settles with Haller/La Cosse for a substantial sum. Haller wanted more than money. His staff is impressed; La Cosse is happy with the settlement. Haller gives his staff bonuses and says he will take a vacation. Noting about money for Eddie’s family or a new Lincoln. |

Earl’s murder remains unsolved and is the subject of an ongoing grand jury |
Nothing about any investigation to the hit and run that killed Eddie.
