Character

Gage

Gage storms Gage Whitney Pace's Midtown conference rooms as senior transactional lawyer, propelling $18 million tanker pitches with confident authority—spotlighting Sam's expertise amid Loch and Cameron's scrutiny, deftly shielding clients via corporate shells and mortgages. Yet Sam's moral surges ignite backlash: derisive chuckles mock ethical interruptions, hallway yanks erupt in 'Are you trying to get fired?' fury, repeated scolds ('Sam! Damn it! That's enough!') shatter final safer-ship pleas, crystallizing the firm's ruthless pragmatism that fractures under idealism and propels Sam's defection.
