You just moved here recently, right? - JETT: Yeah.
- Yeah? Where did you live before? Prison.
CHARLIE BAUDELAIRE: I want you to steal a ring for me.
- JETT: Charlie, I quit.
- BAUDELAIRE: You didn't quit.
Caught.
It's a big difference.
Only one person I'd even consider doing this job with.
Rufus Quentin.
You're gonna trade him for your wife.
JACK DILLON: Jett? JETT: You're not undercover these days, are you? QUINN: Anybody mind bringing me up to speed? BAUDELAIRE: They call him "The Russian.
" He's in Havana.
Milan Bestic.
JETT: I want to see where you live.
BAUDELAIRE: In this man's safe, is a ring.
QUINN: There's something wrong here.
There were blackmail photos in the safe.
Bestic and Junior know each other.
Who do you work for? Charlie Baudelaire.
- Wrong answer.
- [GUNSHOT.]
- [YELPS.]
- As of today, you work for me.

Hi, Charlie.
Hi, Charlie.
How'd it go? Fine.

[DOOR OPENS.]
Bennie.
Carl.
How's it feel to brighten everybody's day every single day? You're sweet.
CHARLIE: Yeah, but those wells dried up a long time ago.
Uh-huh, yeah.
Yeah.
- Jett.
- Junior.
Welcome back.
Everything go all right? Why wouldn't it? CHARLIE: Listen, look, look Okay, we'll get to that later.
But for now, please, convey to Judge Prosky my level of disappointment, which is in direct proportion to what he promised me on that boat.
Yeah, I gotta go.
It's my mother's birthday.
Jett.
You truly are the last Coca-Cola in the desert, aren't you? [KISSES.]
- Drink? - I can't stay long.
- My kid's got the flu.
- Oh.
But, uh - I brought you something.
- Oh You did it.
Well, Quinn did it.
[CHUCKLES.]
And you doubted she could pull this off.
Mm.
Where is he? Quinn? Mexico, but the less you know, the better.
Why? Are you two, uh, back together? Is this goodbye? I have to wait out my daughter's school year.
It wouldn't be smart moving her now.
We'll see how things shake out after that.
I still can't get used to your maternal side.
That makes two of us.
[CHUCKLES.]
Look, I got to send this out to make sure it's the real deal.
- You understand? - Of course.
I should be able to get your money by the end of the week.
[SIGHS.]
How was Miljan? Exactly as advertised.
I knew I could count on you.
I am very, very pleased, Jett.
Good.

[WATER RUNNING.]
Morning.
MARIA: Buenos dÃas.
You're up early.
Did you get any sleep? Hmm, not much.
You? [SIGHS.]
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[SLAMS MUG DOWN ON TABLE.]
Help you? Are you Daisy Kowalski? Who sent you? Miljan Bestic.
What can I do for you, Mr.
Evans? Well, we would like for you to attend a meeting at that address, Tuesday morning.
- JETT: Who am I meeting? - I'll be there, along with a few people he's put together about a job.
- I get my own help.
- EVANS: You run the job, but we run the show.
Was there something else? I understand how you feel, but I'm not your enemy.
Then who are you? I'll be acting as your handler.
Just remember, nothing's black and white.
What about a panda? Point taken.
Skunk, zebra, killer whale, soccer ball, keyboard, dominoes.
You know, most beautiful women with more than five brain cells have a problem with their beauty.
They fear they won't be taken seriously enough, so they overcompensate.
Not me.
I'm naturally prickly.
I can play this game all day, Ms.
Kowalski, but you know the consequences if you don't do as you're told.
See you next Tuesday.
TUCKER: My name's Dwight Tucker, and I've been sober for three days.
GROUP [MURMURING.]
: Hi, Dwight.
TUCKER: Before that, I was sober five years.
Recently, I suffered some hardships at work.
A situation came up with my wife that put my job in jeopardy.
Actually, it put her life in jeopardy and I had to risk my job to fix it.
I'm not one to shift blame, you know, I believe we create our own circumstances.
[MURMURS OF ASSENT.]
I got fired from my job for doing an illegal thing to save my wife and She, I found out was unfaithful.
And when I confronted her about it, she blamed me for being too wound up.
Coiled up like a snake, she said.
But I, uh I don't know.
I snapped.
I drove down to this rock dealer, and, uh, smoked a pipe.
[TUCKER SIGHS.]
I ended up back at home, maybe a day later and I hit her.
I was out of my fucking mind.
It was pretty bad.
[SIGHS.]
Sh-she's okay.
She moved out.
Needs her space.
[SIGN BUZZING.]
[JOSIE PANTING.]
No, enough.
Enough.
We need to stop.
I'm not sure I can.
I hate you sometimes.
- I hate me all the time.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Don't be a smart ass.
I'm not the one who's married.
I shouldn't give a shit.
That's why you're a good person, because you do.
I'm not that good.
I just hate feeling like a [SIGHS.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Who is it? - Who is it? - JETT: Jackie, it's me.
[SIGHS.]
- How did you find me? - Do you trust her? Is it safe to talk in front of her? [DOOR CREAKS.]
It is.
Which Baudelaire are you after? One comes with the other, but it's Junior - we're concentrating on.
- Maybe I can help you.
- What am I missing here? - I have my reasons.
- I thought you quit.
- I did.
So, why come back? Rufus Quinton broke out of prison.
You wouldn't know about that, would you? Quinn is dead.
Jesus.
[SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
Junior killed him? Not exactly.
Where does Charlie stand in all this? That's what I don't know.
You start this, you can't exactly pick and choose who gets hurt.
I don't care who gets hurt.
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC BLARING.]
[LIVELY CHATTERING.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
- [DOOR SHUTS.]
- [MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING.]
[SIGHS.]
Where's your father? Hasn't shown up yet, but between you and me, not his sort of shindig.
Bit of a homophobe, I'm afraid.
Drink? Then, why did you ask me here? I thought you might like to cut loose a little.
[SCOFFS.]
Life is short, Your Honor.
I don't know what you're high on, Junior, and frankly, I don't give a shit.
- Name's Charles Junior.
- [SCOFFS.]
Don't test me.
Never mind prison.
The only reason you're not dead right now is because of your old man.
Commit that to memory.
Is that a threat? - Sure sounded like one.
- I don't threaten people, son.
Well, since you're here, might as well take your payment, in full.
Do you think I was born yesterday? No, you're gonna get that to me the way your daddy and I arranged.
Not here.
Lord knows how many cameras you have watching us right now.
[CHUCKLES.]
[SNORTING.]
- [SNORTING.]

[SIGHS, SNIFFS.]
Always hanging out behind doors, Bobby.
Charlie, I swear, I didn't hear anything.
I was just Don't move a muscle.
I'll be right back.
[MUSIC CONTINUING.]
Hey.
Thanks so much for swinging by, buddy.
You are familiar with the concept of insurance, right? I don't follow.
Well, you know, as in if something happens to me, a new judge is assigned to your dad's case, and he nails him? Whoa.
[LAUGHS.]
What just happened? Did something spook you? You're kidding.
Really? You think that poorly of me? Why would I hurt you? Well, do you want me to call you a cab? I want you to start this car for me.
[LAUGHING.]
You're putting me on.
I look like a valet to you? [LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHS.]
[CAR CHIMES.]
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[CAR CHIMING.]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.]
Charlie, I swear I - [SLAPS.]
- [GRUNTS.]
- [WHIMPERING.]
- Look, I don't wanna hurt you.
I wanna treat you nice.
I wanna trust you.
You can trust me, Charlie.
You can trust me Listen to your brain and shut the fuck up.
Charlie [WHIMPERING.]
Let me make it up to you.
Let me show you how much you can trust me.
[WHIMPERING.]
[SUCKING.]
- Pathetic.
- [CRYING.]
You disgust me.
[CRYING.]
Stop whining! [ENGINE STOPS.]
What the fuck? [ENGINE CRANKING.]
[ENGINE CRANKING.]

- [GAGGING.]
- [GRUNTING.]
[PANTING.]
[GAGS, GRUNTS.]
[CRYING QUIETLY.]
I see you already have your drink.
Not as good as you make them.
What would you like? Chopin martini, up olives.
Not dirty, very cold.
- Bruised.
- That's what I thought.
[CHUCKLES.]
Cheers.
[GLASSES CLINK.]
[SIGHS.]
It means a lot to me that you'd have dinner with me as friends.
- You're being too modest.
- No, seriously.
It's, uh, not a lot of people I can have fun and relax with these days.
You don't seem relaxed tonight.
What's on your mind? [CHUCKLES.]
The usual.
I pride myself on never reading the paper or watching the news, - so I wouldn't know.
- Lucky you.
The problem with the world is, news is always bad, from ancient Greece onwards.
We all live in the same nightmare.
We just react to it at different times.
All right.
- What's good here? - Oh, sorry.
No, don't apologize.
I agree.
Bad things happen, people die over and over.
That's why I don't keep track.
- How about the branzino? - Branzino's always dependable.
And they love explaining in minute detail how they can serve it to you whole or fillet it for you.
What percentage of people eat it whole, I wonder? - Mostly Eskimos.
- [LAUGHS.]
Your smile drives me crazy.
Am I ever gonna get you in bed again after I pay you for this job? Well, that depends on you.
Tell me how to do it.
Walk me through it.
You know that version Nina Simone does of "Save Me"? Sure do.
Better than Aretha's.
What about it? You put that on the record player, be cool with the slow moves And then? How's everything here? - Good.
- I'm Martin.
If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask.
Where's Tony, the regular manager? He's on vacation.
Hmm, so you're covering for him? - You're new? - No, sir.
I've been, uh, managing the day shift close to six months now.
And, uh, may I compliment you on your beautiful dress, Miss? Then what? After I put it on the record player? Then, see if you can get me to bang my head against the headboard and cum all over the bed.
You're a wild card.
What about you? To wild cards.
To wild cards.
[CLINKS.]
[SIGHS.]
Tell me something you've never told anyone before.
I used to be a boy.
[LAUGHS.]
- It could be true.
- Oh, no.
But don't go telling Junior.
It might excite him.
He has unpredictable tastes, that one.
Yeah.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how the boy turned out gay.
My experience, men don't get to choose the direction their dicks bend.
Yeah, except with him, I don't even think it's about sex.
It's a power thing, or he's just trying to get back at me.
It's almost as if he enjoys showing how out of control he can get.
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.]
- I don't know how to get through to him.
Sorry.
- You need to take this.
- Who is it? Your buddy, Curtis.
- But he called you? - He couldn't reach you.
Breaking news about Prosky.
Excuse me.
Sergeant - You get a haircut, Bennie? - CHARLIE: He what? - I did.
- When was this? I'm so sorry.
This is a cell phone-free zone.
- Sir - Yeah.
Okay.
- Sir, I need to ask you to take it outside.
- He'll be off in a minute.
It's not fair to other diners.
- Wired to the ignition.
- Please, come with me.
Shit.
[INHALES.]
[EXHALES.]
I gotta deal with this.
You don't have to rush off and get the Nina Simone record right now.
The judge I bought just suffered an untimely death.
It's a substantial setback for me.
Who would do that? The method suggests, this kid trying to force me to go to war with him.
- Who is he? - Mexican bedbug, Jacinto Salas.
What are you gonna do? I'm not sure, but I'm gonna send him a clear message.
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, okay - I'm so sorry, but this is simply unacceptable - [PUNCHING.]
- [GRUNTING.]
- [PUNCHING.]
- [GRUNTING.]
[SIGHS.]
- Would you accept a rain check? - Of course.
Bennie will deliver to your house what we discussed.
[SIGHS.]
Then, after that, if you if you wanna see me, call me.
I do, and I will.
[SIGHS.]
Mom.
Monkey.
Does everybody die? Eventually.
Even Maria? Yes.
Even you? Yep.
What about God? Apparently not.
Who is God? - God.
- Yes, but, who is he exactly? He's, well It's different for everybody.
What does he look like? What do you feel? I love you, and I love Maria.
That's what God is.
Why is your bed covered with money? I was just cleaning it up.
Go get some rest.
[SIGHS.]
- CARL: You're stalking her.
- [CHURCH BELL RINGING.]
BENNIE: Just wanna make sure she's okay.
CARL: Of all the pussy in the city.
BENNIE: Ain't about that.
It ain't about her pussy? - Correct.
- [SCOFFS.]
No one who's graduated high school would believe that.
A guy walks into a confessional.
He says, "Father, I haven't been to confession in 30 years.
" Says, "I like the changes you've made.
I like the leather seats, "the open bar, the cigars, and the TV.
" And the priest says, "Idiot.
You're on my side.
" [LAUGHS.]
Right? 'Cause [SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[SHUTTER CLICKS.]
[SHUTTER CLICKS.]
Right on time.
This is Kowalski.
Wayne.
Holy shit.
- Jett.
- Blair, long time.
- I see you two know each other.
- Hell yeah.
Hey, Jett is in, I'm in.
- Whatever it is.
- This is Octavio.
- Would you care for a drink? - No, thank you.
See, I I thought you were inside.
A soft drink? Nothing, thank you.
The Savoy is a piano bar jazz club out in Lynnville.
The manager's name is Joe Garson.
Every month, 12 amateurs, big shot wannabes, play poker upstairs in his back room.
What kind of score we talking about? Anywhere between 250 and 300 grand in the safe.
- What kind of security? - There's a doorman, three guys on the floor, cameras, local alarm company.
You know if they call first to check in? Verified response.
They call Joe to make sure it's real, and then it takes them about five minutes to get there, then they call in the cops.
How many exits? - Two.
- How many patrons in the club? Anywhere between 80 to 100, between 11:00 to midnight.
I don't like it.
Let's take a break.
[DOOR SHUTS.]
Miljan Bestic isn't asking for your opinion.
He needs this done.
Lynnville is 40 minutes from my house.
So what? I don't do any job that close to home.
Look.
I realize we got off on the wrong foot here, but I'm not interested in your rules.
I'm interested in your leadership.
We got a locksmith, muscle, and a driver in there.
We need you to come up with the plan.
You got a week to set it up.
You expect me to believe we're doing this for 250? I don't give a shit what you believe.
Now, you walk back in there, and you put a plan together.
- Tell me about Garson.
- EVANS: Not much to tell.
Divorced, doesn't gamble.
Bit of a loner.
What's he into? Golf, guns, what? He likes girls.
What are you thinking? Since we need to handle the alarm company, on top of the club, we have no time to dick around with the safe, so we'll need inside assistance.
Let's get a girl to distract him.
- What's wrong with you? - Nothing.
You look like a pretty good distraction to me, or am I outta line? So, if he's partial to redneck retards, you'll volunteer your ass? [LAUGHS.]
Don't be so serious about it.
Let's scout the place.
We still like Garson for the inside, we'll get a girl and make him an offer.
Here is the Earth Day Jubilee drawing.
In your note, you said you had some concerns about Alice? Not concerns, exactly.
Just we like to get in touch with the parents when the children show signs.
She's very precocious, Alice.
- Yes.
- And inquisitive.
And she's been getting into fights with the other kids about God.
She says that he punishes people unfairly.
Alice talks about Maria being sick? She's very upset.
Is Maria Alice's other mom? - No.
- But she raises Alice with you.
We live with her.
Her terminal condition was in remission, but it came back.
Oh my God.
I-I'm That's awful.
This is obviously sensitive, but does Alice know her father? No, he died.
Oh, um I didn't know, um - How? - Suddenly.
I'll talk to her.
You know, we have a really good psychologist on staff.
I don't need someone to talk to.
I meant for Alice.
Ah.
She's really special.
I agree.
[RAIN PATTERING.]
I misunderstood.
Thought it was just you and me.
She's my partner.
What's your problem? I've seen men trust women before.
Stop it.
Charlie's going to war with Jacinto Salas.
Who is he? Connected to the Matices cartel.
Been stepping on a lot of toes since he moved here.
JETT: Drugs, what? Import export: drugs, people.
He killed a judge on Charlie's payroll.
That would be Prosky.
It's a fucking mess.
What's he after? Charlie doesn't carry as much weight as he did 20 years ago, but keeps a finger in a lot of different pies.
The Russians still love him, and they bring in a lot of money.
I'd say Salas is out to prove he can do a better job at protecting their interests.
Dumb question.
Why don't you just kill Junior? What kinda cop is she? I mean, if it's strictly revenge, I don't understand your play.
Let's do this.
I feed you information on Junior, and you put him away.
In return, you don't ask me anymore dumb questions.
In return, you play detective, going after what you're really after, keeping us in the dark, putting us in danger.
You can't expect us to protect you I don't want your protection.
In fact, I ever see, or even imagine I see, a car keeping tabs on me, deal's over.
I can't afford you putting my kid in danger.
See you next week.
[SHUTS DOOR.]
I knew you two would get along.
[MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING INSIDE CLUB.]
[NOISY CHATTERING.]
[CHATTER, MUSIC CONTINUING.]
Hey, you remember Frank Sweeney? Sure.
Yeah, he's in a wheelchair now.
Shitting in a bag the rest of his life.
Yeah, I heard.
That asshole was top dog.
Makes you wonder.
You do this bullshit long enough, maybe there won't be anything left to salvage.
Of your soul, you know? I don't remember this poetic side of yours.
I remember you pressing a gun to my head and pulling the trigger.
No questions asked.
It wasn't loaded.
Yeah, you didn't know that.
Well, I been clean a long time now.
You know, it's just different these days, Jett.
These new kids, they're fucking wacko.
Wild, wild west shit.
No regard for nothing.
[LAUGHS.]
Listen to me.
I sound like an old-timer.
Stay here.
[CHATTER, MUSIC CONTINUING.]
Help you, miss? Is this not the little girl's room? [CHUCKLES.]
Restroom's on the opposite side.
Are you sure? Last weekend, I used this one.
I don't think so.
That's the manager's office.
It is? Well, maybe it was here bec Nope, that's a private room.
Oh, private.
Is that where the VIPs smoke cigarettes and do drugs? [LAUGHS.]
Nothing like that.
There's no one in there tonight.
Come on, I'll walk you.
That's awfully kind of you.
[LAUGHS.]
Just a sec.
- What's your name? - Bill.
Hm.
What do you bench these days, Bill? [WOMAN LAUGHING.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
MAN: Anyway, I'm gonna go in.
Enjoy your smoke, but hurry up.
Those dicks ain't gonna suck themselves.
'Sup, beautiful? - You a cop? - Part-time nun.
What's that guy's name you were talking to? What guy? Is his name Neal? Is it? I find it kinda weird I have to ask twice.
Yeah, that's Neal.
Thanks.
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING.]
- [BELL DINGS LOUDLY.]
- [LAUGHS.]
- Can I help you? - I'm looking for-for Neal? Are you, uh, a reporter, or a cop or are you just lost? [SLURPING.]
Oh, uh [CHUCKLES.]
No, I-I'm I've never done this before.
My husband and I, w-we've been married a long time.
- Twelve years.
- Good for you.
Yes.
And, um, I-I promised something super special for our anniversary.
Mm.
[WHISPERING.]
: He likes a very particular type of girl.
Big, innocent eyes.
Long legs.
He finds Europeans exotic.
Can you please help me? GARSON: Yeah, I'd like to help.
I'd like to help NEAL: I think so.
[GIGGLING.]
I'm so excited Give her time to settle.
GARSON: Jesus Christ, - your tits are unbelievable.
- GIRL: Yeah? You don't think they're too small? No, they're perfect.
[LAUGHING.]
Wait.
Wait.
W-where you going? You really are gonna help me, right? With my singing? Babe, that's not even a question.
You know the guys I been telling you about, they manage 20 different acts.
Pop, hip-hop, R&B.
They're hooked up all over the place.
Absolutely top-level guys.
Okay then.
Do you wanna hear me sing right now? [STAMMERS.]
[LAUGHING.]

JETT: If you do what I tell you, no harm will come to you.
You understand? In a few days, someone will visit your club.
They will tell you they are a friend of Ashby's.
You will take them to your office, and you will open the safe.
That's all you have to do.
We'll take it from there.
You understand? - [GROANS.]
- Say yes and you live.

I will call police if you don't cover up.
I will call police.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I have no choice but to call police I This is family hotel.
No naked swimming! - [SIGHS.]
- [URINATING.]
[BOTH SIGH.]
- - Shit.
[SIGHS.]
You mind if I snag one? When I was a little girl in my village in Benimaurell, I wanted to be a therapist, because I wanted to know why people do the things they do.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
[SIGHS.]
Very loud.
One night, I escaped with a boy who had a motorcycle.
He was kind of raggedy and wild.
I thought I was in love with him.
Maybe I liked his motorcycle more than I liked him, but he was a way out.
I got a job as a cook in a transatlantic ship.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
Do you mind? I cooked and I cleaned that ship for one year.
And then two.
[SCOFFS.]
Everywhere I went, I thought I would settle down, and start a family.
Together, you know? Right.
But as it turns out, there is something wrong with my womb.
Congenital.
Which you could say is bad luck enough, except now I've been diagnosed with a rare disease that only two percent of the population in the world are susceptible to.
I'm very special.
[LAUGHS.]
[SNIFFS.]
Doctors give me one year.
[MACHINE CLICKING.]

JETT: We're gonna do this without firing any bullets.
- WAYNE: Seriously? - Seriously.
Blair and I will already be inside.
When I call you, you'll come in as strictly crowd control.
Blair and I will grab the money and the surveillance DVR.
You'll exit through the front, we'll exit through the back.
- Silent alarm gets triggered - [PHONE RINGS.]
alarm company calls to check in - Yeah.
- Garson tells them what's happened.
Yeah, it's real.
They try to mobilize, - realize they can't, they call in the cops.
- [ALARM BLARING.]
Everybody meets back here.
What about the poker players? They'll never know we were there.
What if, uh, one of them comes out? Needs to take a leak? They go downstairs, take a leak.
Nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
Nobody knows we're there.
- No yelling, no bullets.
- How do we deal with security? I'll send a guard your way.
- You handle him and the doorman.
- [BUZZING.]
The other two can stay.
Keep your eyes on them at all times.
If, and only if, you see them coming up to the office do you intervene.
[SCOFFS.]
But no bullets.
It's the only way this works.
All those drunk people are a liability.
Everybody has four numbers programmed, then we toss them.
Tell me about the alarm company.
Well, it's like I said, amateur hour.
Run it by me one more time.
OCTAVIO: The electrical for the garage door is on a different box.
They keep all vehicles parked there except for one.
So once I blow that grid and disable the one patrol car parked out front - Mm.
- they're fucked.
JETT: Block the garage doors anyway.
OCTAVIO: All right, but I'm telling you, - just really gonna be a precaution.
- JETT: Do it.

Swing by my office after we close.
I'll give you a tour.
- Okay.
- Great, looking forward to it.
I'm a friend of Ashby's.
Don't look at me.
Let's go to your office.
- What's your doorman's name? - Lance.
Send Bill down to see Lance.
Tell him Lance is ill, ate some bad shrimp or something.
Do me a favor, go check on Lance, would you? Had some bad shrimp or something.
- I think he's puking.
- BILL: Yes, sir.
Okay.
WAYNE [PHONE.]
: I'm here.
JETT [PHONE.]
: Bill from upstairs is coming to see Lance.
- Bill is six-three, bald, tan jacket.
- Got it.
- 'Sup, bro? - I don't know.
Garson say you're sick or something? No, I'm fine [GROANS.]

JETT: Go to the safe and open it.

- GARSON: Jesus Christ.
- Don't panic.
Do what I tell you and I'll get you outta this without a scratch.

- Stand up.

- Ow! Hey, what's this asshole? You trying to surprise us? No! Hey.

How'd it go? Great.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why wouldn't it? Great.
Why wouldn't it? So, each episode is named after a character, and episode two belongs to Junior.
- JUNIOR: Jett.
- Junior.
JUNIOR: Welcome back.
- Everything go all right? - Why wouldn't it? SEBASTIAN GUTIERREZ: Junior is Charlie Baudelaire's son.
As such, he has grown entitled and impulsive and unpredictable.
- I don't follow.
- Something happens to me, a new judge is assigned to your dad's case - and he nails him.
- What just happened? Did something spook you? Well, I think Jett functions very much on instinct.
And she's never had a great impression of Junior.
I think she's always known he's a wildcard.
- And he's unraveling.
- [ENGINE CHURNS.]
- [PHONE BEEPS.]
- [EXPLOSION.]
In episode two, really, Jett is just trying to get as much information as she can.
Which Baudelaire are you after? MAN: One comes with the other, but it's Junior we're concentrating on.
GUTIERREZ: It is because of that that she does something very out of character.
She forms an alliance.
Charlie's going to war with Jacinto Salas.
Who is he? While letting him think she's giving him information, she can also have a way to get information about Junior.
I ever see or even imagine I see a car keeping tabs on me, deal's over.
GUTIERREZ: Jett, like most smart women that I know, is a very practical person.
If she prepares and rehearses things and picks the right people, she can get the job done.
But I'm not interested in your rules.
I'm interested in your leadership.
We need you to come up with a plan.
She's never been in a position where she's working for someone else.
So, I think, straight off the bat, this is very unfamiliar terrain.
JETT: We're gonna do this without firing any bullets.
CARLA GUGINO: It's not that she's a control freak.
It's really that the outcome is so much better if she can control more of the steps towards the outcome.
There's something very fishy about this job, but I think when she finds out the gold bricks are there, it opens a can of worms in which she did not have information about, which is the part that drives her crazy.
[GUNSHOT.]
Sorry, Jett.
[GUNSHOT.]
You just moved here recently, right? - JETT: Yeah.
- Yeah? Where did you live before? Prison.
CHARLIE BAUDELAIRE: I want you to steal a ring for me.
- JETT: Charlie, I quit.
- BAUDELAIRE: You didn't quit.
Caught.
It's a big difference.
Only one person I'd even consider doing this job with.
Rufus Quentin.
You're gonna trade him for your wife.
JACK DILLON: Jett? JETT: You're not undercover these days, are you? QUINN: Anybody mind bringing me up to speed? BAUDELAIRE: They call him "The Russian.
" He's in Havana.
Milan Bestic.
JETT: I want to see where you live.
BAUDELAIRE: In this man's safe, is a ring.
QUINN: There's something wrong here.
There were blackmail photos in the safe.
Bestic and Junior know each other.
Who do you work for? Charlie Baudelaire.
- Wrong answer.
- [GUNSHOT.]
- [YELPS.]
- As of today, you work for me.

Welcome back.
Everything go all right? Why wouldn't it? CHARLIE: Listen, look, look Okay, we'll get to that later.
But for now, please, convey to Judge Prosky my level of disappointment, which is in direct proportion to what he promised me on that boat.
Yeah, I gotta go.
It's my mother's birthday.

You truly are the last Coca-Cola in the desert, aren't you? [KISSES.]

- Oh You did it.
Well, Quinn did it.
[CHUCKLES.]
And you doubted she could pull this off.
Mm.
Where is he? Quinn? Mexico, but the less you know, the better.
Why? Are you two, uh, back together? Is this goodbye? I have to wait out my daughter's school year.
It wouldn't be smart moving her now.
We'll see how things shake out after that.
I still can't get used to your maternal side.

What can I do for you, Mr.

- JETT: Who am I meeting? - I'll be there, along with a few people he's put together about a job.
- I get my own help.
- EVANS: You run the job, but we run the show.
Was there something else? I understand how you feel, but I'm not your enemy.
Then who are you? I'll be acting as your handler.
Just remember, nothing's black and white.
What about a panda? Point taken.
Skunk, zebra, killer whale, soccer ball, keyboard, dominoes.
You know, most beautiful women with more than five brain cells have a problem with their beauty.
They fear they won't be taken seriously enough, so they overcompensate.
Not me.
I'm naturally prickly.
I can play this game all day, Ms.

See you next Tuesday.
TUCKER: My name's Dwight Tucker, and I've been sober for three days.
GROUP [MURMURING.]
: Hi, Dwight.
TUCKER: Before that, I was sober five years.
Recently, I suffered some hardships at work.
A situation came up with my wife that put my job in jeopardy.
Actually, it put her life in jeopardy and I had to risk my job to fix it.
I'm not one to shift blame, you know, I believe we create our own circumstances.
[MURMURS OF ASSENT.]
I got fired from my job for doing an illegal thing to save my wife and She, I found out was unfaithful.
And when I confronted her about it, she blamed me for being too wound up.
Coiled up like a snake, she said.
But I, uh I don't know.
I snapped.
I drove down to this rock dealer, and, uh, smoked a pipe.
[TUCKER SIGHS.]
I ended up back at home, maybe a day later and I hit her.
I was out of my fucking mind.
It was pretty bad.

- Maybe I can help you.
- What am I missing here? - I have my reasons.
- I thought you quit.
- I did.
So, why come back? Rufus Quinton broke out of prison.
You wouldn't know about that, would you? Quinn is dead.
Jesus.
[SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
Junior killed him? Not exactly.
Where does Charlie stand in all this? That's what I don't know.

I don't know what you're high on, Junior, and frankly, I don't give a shit.
- Name's Charles Junior.

Don't test me.
Never mind prison.
The only reason you're not dead right now is because of your old man.
Commit that to memory.
Is that a threat? - Sure sounded like one.
- I don't threaten people, son.
Well, since you're here, might as well take your payment, in full.

You don't seem relaxed tonight.
What's on your mind? [CHUCKLES.]
The usual.
I pride myself on never reading the paper or watching the news, - so I wouldn't know.
- Lucky you.
The problem with the world is, news is always bad, from ancient Greece onwards.
We all live in the same nightmare.
We just react to it at different times.
All right.
- What's good here? - Oh, sorry.
No, don't apologize.
I agree.
Bad things happen, people die over and over.
That's why I don't keep track.
- How about the branzino? - Branzino's always dependable.
And they love explaining in minute detail how they can serve it to you whole or fillet it for you.
What percentage of people eat it whole, I wonder? - Mostly Eskimos.

It might excite him.
He has unpredictable tastes, that one.
Yeah.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how the boy turned out gay.
My experience, men don't get to choose the direction their dicks bend.
Yeah, except with him, I don't even think it's about sex.
It's a power thing, or he's just trying to get back at me.
It's almost as if he enjoys showing how out of control he can get.

The Savoy is a piano bar jazz club out in Lynnville.
The manager's name is Joe Garson.
Every month, 12 amateurs, big shot wannabes, play poker upstairs in his back room.
What kind of score we talking about? Anywhere between 250 and 300 grand in the safe.
- What kind of security? - There's a doorman, three guys on the floor, cameras, local alarm company.
You know if they call first to check in? Verified response.
They call Joe to make sure it's real, and then it takes them about five minutes to get there, then they call in the cops.
How many exits? - Two.
- How many patrons in the club? Anywhere between 80 to 100, between 11:00 to midnight.
I don't like it.
Let's take a break.
[DOOR SHUTS.]
Miljan Bestic isn't asking for your opinion.
He needs this done.
Lynnville is 40 minutes from my house.
So what? I don't do any job that close to home.
Look.
I realize we got off on the wrong foot here, but I'm not interested in your rules.
I'm interested in your leadership.
We got a locksmith, muscle, and a driver in there.
We need you to come up with the plan.
You got a week to set it up.
You expect me to believe we're doing this for 250? I don't give a shit what you believe.
Now, you walk back in there, and you put a plan together.
- Tell me about Garson.
- EVANS: Not much to tell.
Divorced, doesn't gamble.
Bit of a loner.
What's he into? Golf, guns, what? He likes girls.
What are you thinking? Since we need to handle the alarm company, on top of the club, we have no time to dick around with the safe, so we'll need inside assistance.
Let's get a girl to distract him.
- What's wrong with you? - Nothing.
You look like a pretty good distraction to me, or am I outta line? So, if he's partial to redneck retards, you'll volunteer your ass? [LAUGHS.]
Don't be so serious about it.
Let's scout the place.
We still like Garson for the inside, we'll get a girl and make him an offer.
Here is the Earth Day Jubilee drawing.
In your note, you said you had some concerns about Alice? Not concerns, exactly.
Just we like to get in touch with the parents when the children show signs.
She's very precocious, Alice.
- Yes.
- And inquisitive.
And she's been getting into fights with the other kids about God.
She says that he punishes people unfairly.
Alice talks about Maria being sick? She's very upset.
Is Maria Alice's other mom? - No.
- But she raises Alice with you.
We live with her.
Her terminal condition was in remission, but it came back.
Oh my God.
I-I'm That's awful.
This is obviously sensitive, but does Alice know her father? No, he died.
Oh, um I didn't know, um - How? - Suddenly.
I'll talk to her.
You know, we have a really good psychologist on staff.
I don't need someone to talk to.
I meant for Alice.
Ah.
She's really special.
I agree.
[RAIN PATTERING.]
I misunderstood.
Thought it was just you and me.
She's my partner.
What's your problem? I've seen men trust women before.
Stop it.
Charlie's going to war with Jacinto Salas.
Who is he? Connected to the Matices cartel.
Been stepping on a lot of toes since he moved here.
JETT: Drugs, what? Import export: drugs, people.
He killed a judge on Charlie's payroll.
That would be Prosky.
It's a fucking mess.
What's he after? Charlie doesn't carry as much weight as he did 20 years ago, but keeps a finger in a lot of different pies.
The Russians still love him, and they bring in a lot of money.
I'd say Salas is out to prove he can do a better job at protecting their interests.
Dumb question.
Why don't you just kill Junior? What kinda cop is she? I mean, if it's strictly revenge, I don't understand your play.
Let's do this.
I feed you information on Junior, and you put him away.
In return, you don't ask me anymore dumb questions.
In return, you play detective, going after what you're really after, keeping us in the dark, putting us in danger.
You can't expect us to protect you I don't want your protection.
In fact, I ever see, or even imagine I see, a car keeping tabs on me, deal's over.
I can't afford you putting my kid in danger.

Oh, Jesus Christ, don't kill me! I'll tell [GAGGING.]
JETT: If you do what I tell you, no harm will come to you.
You understand? In a few days, someone will visit your club.
They will tell you they are a friend of Ashby's.
You will take them to your office, and you will open the safe.
That's all you have to do.
We'll take it from there.
You understand? - [GROANS.]
- Say yes and you live.
[MUFFLED.]
: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[CRYING.]
No, no! No! [SOBBING.]
- Ow! [CRYING.]

Is it weird that I'm horny as fuck right now? Perfectly natural.
Don't give it all to your brother.

[WARBLING.]
MAN [MUFFLED.]
: Miss! Miss! Miss! Can you Miss! Hey! Hey, Miss! Miss! Ah! Hey, you read sign, huh? You need swimsuit for pool.
This is family place.
[GIGGLES, SPEAKS SPANISH.]
I will call police if you don't cover up.
I will call police.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I have no choice but to call police I This is family hotel.
No naked swimming! - [SIGHS.]
- [URINATING.]
[BOTH SIGH.]
- - Shit.
[SIGHS.]
You mind if I snag one? When I was a little girl in my village in Benimaurell, I wanted to be a therapist, because I wanted to know why people do the things they do.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
[SIGHS.]
Very loud.
One night, I escaped with a boy who had a motorcycle.
He was kind of raggedy and wild.
I thought I was in love with him.
Maybe I liked his motorcycle more than I liked him, but he was a way out.
I got a job as a cook in a transatlantic ship.
[SPEAKS SPANISH.]
Do you mind? I cooked and I cleaned that ship for one year.
And then two.
[SCOFFS.]
Everywhere I went, I thought I would settle down, and start a family.
Together, you know? Right.
But as it turns out, there is something wrong with my womb.
Congenital.
Which you could say is bad luck enough, except now I've been diagnosed with a rare disease that only two percent of the population in the world are susceptible to.
I'm very special.
[LAUGHS.]
[SNIFFS.]
Doctors give me one year.
[MACHINE CLICKING.]
[BEEPING.]
JETT: We're gonna do this without firing any bullets.
- WAYNE: Seriously? - Seriously.
Blair and I will already be inside.
When I call you, you'll come in as strictly crowd control.
Blair and I will grab the money and the surveillance DVR.
You'll exit through the front, we'll exit through the back.
- Silent alarm gets triggered - [PHONE RINGS.]
alarm company calls to check in - Yeah.
- Garson tells them what's happened.
Yeah, it's real.
They try to mobilize, - realize they can't, they call in the cops.
- [ALARM BLARING.]
Everybody meets back here.
What about the poker players? They'll never know we were there.
What if, uh, one of them comes out? Needs to take a leak? They go downstairs, take a leak.
Nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
Nobody knows we're there.
- No yelling, no bullets.
- How do we deal with security? I'll send a guard your way.
- You handle him and the doorman.
- [BUZZING.]
The other two can stay.
Keep your eyes on them at all times.
If, and only if, you see them coming up to the office do you intervene.
[SCOFFS.]
But no bullets.
It's the only way this works.
All those drunk people are a liability.
Everybody has four numbers programmed, then we toss them.
Tell me about the alarm company.
Well, it's like I said, amateur hour.
Run it by me one more time.
OCTAVIO: The electrical for the garage door is on a different box.
They keep all vehicles parked there except for one.
So once I blow that grid and disable the one patrol car parked out front - Mm.
- they're fucked.
JETT: Block the garage doors anyway.
OCTAVIO: All right, but I'm telling you, - just really gonna be a precaution.
- JETT: Do it.
[NOISY CHATTERING.]
[CRACKLES.]
[AIR HISSING.]
Swing by my office after we close.
I'll give you a tour.
- Okay.
- Great, looking forward to it.
I'm a friend of Ashby's.
Don't look at me.
Let's go to your office.
- What's your doorman's name? - Lance.
Send Bill down to see Lance.
Tell him Lance is ill, ate some bad shrimp or something.
Do me a favor, go check on Lance, would you? Had some bad shrimp or something.
- I think he's puking.
- BILL: Yes, sir.
Okay.
WAYNE [PHONE.]
: I'm here.
JETT [PHONE.]
: Bill from upstairs is coming to see Lance.
- Bill is six-three, bald, tan jacket.
- Got it.
- 'Sup, bro? - I don't know.
Garson say you're sick or something? No, I'm fine [GROANS.]
[ZIPS.]
JETT: Go to the safe and open it.
[CLICKS.]
- GARSON: Jesus Christ.
- Don't panic.
Do what I tell you and I'll get you outta this without a scratch.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Good.
- Stand up.
- Yeah.
- Turn around.
- Yeah.
Face to the rug.
- Hands behind your back.
- Ow! Hey, what's this asshole? You trying to surprise us? No! Hey.
Cut it out.
Lift your head.
- Higher.
- Holy shit.
What is it? - I was just holding them - JETT: Shut up.
How much is each of these suckers worth? Don't stop.
[ZIPS BAG.]
[GUNSHOT ECHOES.]
Sorry, Jett.
[GUNSHOT ECHOES.]
- [MUSIC PLAYS.]
- [GUNSHOT.]
[PEOPLE CLAMORING.]
Sorry, Jett.
[CROWD PANICKING.]
Power's as much about psychology as it is about bullets.
WOMAN: What happens if he finds out? Makes you wonder.
- - [MUSIC CONTINUES.]
INMATE: Oh, aren't you a pretty sight? No! - [BONES CRACKING.]
- [PAINED YELP.]
- [CHOKING.]
- [PANTING.]
[MUSIC CONCLUDES.]
- [SNIFFS.]
- [CLAPS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
How'd it go? Great.
[CHUCKLES.]
Why wouldn't it? Great.
Why wouldn't it? So, each episode is named after a character, and episode two belongs to Junior.
- JUNIOR: Jett.
- Junior.
JUNIOR: Welcome back.
- Everything go all right? - Why wouldn't it? SEBASTIAN GUTIERREZ: Junior is Charlie Baudelaire's son.
As such, he has grown entitled and impulsive and unpredictable.
- I don't follow.
- Something happens to me, a new judge is assigned to your dad's case - and he nails him.
- What just happened? Did something spook you? Well, I think Jett functions very much on instinct.
And she's never had a great impression of Junior.
I think she's always known he's a wildcard.
- And he's unraveling.
- [ENGINE CHURNS.]
- [PHONE BEEPS.]
- [EXPLOSION.]
In episode two, really, Jett is just trying to get as much information as she can.
Which Baudelaire are you after? MAN: One comes with the other, but it's Junior we're concentrating on.
GUTIERREZ: It is because of that that she does something very out of character.
She forms an alliance.
Charlie's going to war with Jacinto Salas.
Who is he? While letting him think she's giving him information, she can also have a way to get information about Junior.
I ever see or even imagine I see a car keeping tabs on me, deal's over.
GUTIERREZ: Jett, like most smart women that I know, is a very practical person.
If she prepares and rehearses things and picks the right people, she can get the job done.
But I'm not interested in your rules.
I'm interested in your leadership.
We need you to come up with a plan.
She's never been in a position where she's working for someone else.
So, I think, straight off the bat, this is very unfamiliar terrain.
JETT: We're gonna do this without firing any bullets.
CARLA GUGINO: It's not that she's a control freak.
It's really that the outcome is so much better if she can control more of the steps towards the outcome.
There's something very fishy about this job, but I think when she finds out the gold bricks are there, it opens a can of worms in which she did not have information about, which is the part that drives her crazy.
[GUNSHOT.]
Sorry, Jett.
[GUNSHOT.]
