Day 7
Because of the arrest and imprisonment of Jonas Hodges, who was trying to blackmail the President of the United States, he and his associates felt that their greater operation had been compromised. He sent an operative of his to impersonate Hodges attorney, Patricia Eames, and leverage him to commit suicide and silence himself.

Shortly after 2:00am, he was contacted by the impersonator, who told him that Hodges guaranteed his suicide. Wilson explained how important it was that he die and then hung up.
