Leverage: Redemption (2021) s01e04 Episode Script
The Tower Job
Mateo! No, no, this is all wrong.
Mateo! Mateo!
Why are you bothering
with stud reinforcement
when these floors needed
to be done three days ago?
Mr. Crawley, we've already
cut so many corners.
The structural integrity of
this building is dangerous.
I don't care. Just get
it done. Time is money.
Mateo, we got a problem.
That man killed my father.
Jason Crawley, he faced no
charges after four workers died
when his first building collapsed.
This is my father, Mateo.
He's one of the men that was
killed in the Lantern Building.
Hi, uh, my name is Harry Wilson,
and I'd like to talk to
you about Mateo Navarro.
Tio Xavi!
Sorry about my uncle.
He worked at the Lantern
Building with my dad,
but wasn't onsite the day it collapsed.
My dad knew that building was unsafe.
He filed multiple complaints,
but Mr. Crawley just ignored him.
And somehow those complaints
just mysteriously disappeared
- from Crawley's files?
- Yeah.
Covered the whole thing up.
Nothing could make
up for my dad's death.
And that's exactly what we got: nothing.
The only reason we're not homeless
is because Tio Xavi gets disability.
I don't want money or revenge.
I just don't want this to happen again.
I want Jason Crawley
to be held responsible.
Outrage across the
city as criminal charges
against owner Jason Crawley
stemming from the collapse
of his latest project
have been dismissed
due to lack of evidence.
While an associated civil case
would have a lower bar of proof,
without clear evidence
proving negligence,
that litigation would be
unlikely to produce new evidence,
or a settlement.
Listen, I'm all for taking initiative,
but we usually let our clients find us.
Tell me that this doesn't merit justice.
Three years ago, the Lantern Building
collapsed, killing four workers.
Despite rumors of negligence, as
we can see, Jason Crawley skated.
No criminal charges, no civil lawsuit.
Yeah. How'd he pull that off?
He had an army of lawyers,
but more importantly,
he moved up the date of
his wedding. Go ahead.
Society darling Krista Moore-Crawley.
Old money family, posh education,
she did a year at the Royal
College of Art in London,
so she thinks she has taste.
Krista's family connections
ensured that any complaints
or municipal investigations
proving negligence would go missing,
and Krista's family money propped
up Jason's real estate business.
Word is in this partnership,
Jason's the salesman,
but Krista's the brains.
A power imbalance,
we can work with that.
The happy couple is about to open
their new building: Axios Tower.
You got the blueprints
this time. Good job.
Yeah. I had to level up my game.
So you just give me the plans?
So, basically, all we have to do
is prove that Jason's been
negligent on this tower
and alert the authorities.
There's only one problem with that.
According to those plans, that's
the safest building in America.
The foundation's double secured,
the supports are
triple that of standard.
I mean, this thing could
withstand the apocalypse.
Well, he spent the money
'cause he's living in this one.
It's like the Klingon metaphor goes
"Even a fool buys stone for his house."
Hardison bet me that I couldn't
learn the language. He lost.
Did he?
That cost is the reason
most developers skimp on
safety: it's expensive.
His margins must be razor-thin.
- Do we have financial records?
- Yep.
Uh, in addition to the building,
the Crawleys have about ten
million dollars in various accounts.
They only have ten million? Yikes.
That sentence hurts my brain.
That's their soft spot.
The Crawleys bought far more
building than they could afford
and had to borrow hundreds of
millions of dollars to finance it.
Something goes wrong with
even one of those loans,
they don't have enough
cash on hand to cover it.
Yeah, but that's just
hitting him in the wallet.
I mean, guys like Jason can
find money anytime they want.
No, I promised Isabella
real, criminal justice.
Which is why you
should always talk to us
before you talk to the client.
We'll do what we can.
There's a new lead banker
assigned to the Crawleys' loans.
Adrienne Bisset.
Chances are they've never met her.
Parker, how's your French?
C'est magnifique.
It's magnifique.
Breathe in deeply. You are alive.
Breathe out. Let go.
Breathe in. Grateful.
The sun warms you. Breathe out. Relax.
You got Jason.
Monsieur Crawley.
Adrienne Bisset, Versailles
International Credit.
In reviewing your loan filings,
we have discovered some overages.
Uh, yes, yes, keeping a
building up to code is expensive,
but our highest priority.
We'll see. I will be stopping
by for an in-person inspection.
An in-person inspection?
Oui.
Wonderful, Ms. Bisset.
We look forward to showing
you our beautiful building.
Au revoir.
Great. What if they find something
wrong? We can't, I can't
There's nothing to
find. I made sure of it.
Hey.
Do your breathing.
Why am I the French one?
Because my American accent
is better than yours.
Versailles International
Credit. Adrienne Bisset speaking.
Hi there. This is Krista
Crawley from Axios Tower.
My husband and I have a loan with
you. We're gonna need more money.
And what will these funds be for?
To convert our regular floors
into two sets of tiny floors.
Double the floors, double the rent.
You should come check it out.
The timing here has to be perfect.
While Jason gives Parker a
tour of the completed areas,
Mr. Wilson and I will take
the real Adrienne Bisset
on a tour of the incomplete areas which,
after some careful prep
by Eliot and Breanna,
who will make it look
like such a disaster,
it will force her to pull the loan.
Oh, I hate business clothes.
They make me feel so starchy.
Why are we doing this at the same time?
Isn't it less risky to have
Adrienne take her tour today
and have Parker go tomorrow?
Billing. Inspections like this
are always billed to the client.
The Crawleys are gonna know
exactly what time she takes off,
what time her car picks her up.
Besides, if it was
easy, it wouldn't be fun.
All right, let's go steal a
luxury development condo financier!
It doesn't work if you say it like that.
What do you mean? You guys
act like there's rules to this,
but nobody ever explains what they are.
Hallway's renovated.
We should renovate the suite next.
Yeah.
Hello! You must be Adrienne.
Oui, I am Adrienne.
Ooh, I hope this is worth
the long flight from France.
Where I am from.
I hope so too! This way please.
We're so sorry that the
Crawleys couldn't make it.
We're the architects, and we'd
love to take you on the tour.
Bonjour.
And why are we going
through the service entrance?
What? Oh, no, this is the
private penthouse entrance.
We like to call it
Industrial chic.
Oh.
Shall we?
Of course.
Where are they?
Uh, the red is Harry and
Sophie, the green is Parker.
And I'm in the elevator system.
Axios Tower is 20
state-of-the-art stories.
Plus triple-paned glass
means no sound gets through.
Ah. Sound-proof glass. Very good.
Axios Tower, uh, is 20
state-of-the-art stories.
We halved the depth of all
the walls. We saved a fortune.
It's a little noisy. But it really
feels like you're in the city.
- Oh.
- If, God forbid, a fire should break out,
these controls are for our
state-of-the-art fire-escape system.
On the roof, you can access
a special spiraling chute
that will lower you to the ground level.
Plus a highly rated
foam sprinkler system.
Hmm.
And if, God forbid, a
fire should break out
- We have one on every
- Mm-mm.
almost every floor.
Ah. Interesting wall depth.
And the last stop, our
furnished apartment.
Ah, Ms. Bisset, I presume.
I hope that you're enjoying your tour.
This is my amazing wife, Krista.
She keeps me calm and smiling.
A pleasure.
Uh, Mr. Crawley, I have a schedule
You know, I am certain that
we have friends in common.
Did you graduate class
of 2011 from the Sorbonne?
You know, I I actually did a year
at the Royal College of Art, so
So I'm sure we know the same people.
It it's a work in progress, we know.
Oh. Bonjour.
So I told the contractor,
if they want overtime
pay, bless their hearts
Parker, you need to wrap 'em up.
They can hire
lawyers and sue us for it.
You and me the perfect team.
Well, merci for protecting our
investment, but I really must go.
Hey, uh, Sophie, Parker got delayed,
but you're running a little bit ahead.
So you guys might cross.
Uh, uh, perhaps you'd like to come
back and see our plans for a gym?
I I have seen enough, merci!
Merci beaucoup, au revoir !
No!
Don't push.
Guys! Guys! You're about to be made!
Excuse me.
Hey, big guy.
Harry Wilson, you old dog!
So Harry, what are you doing here?
Oh, you know, showing some high-end
clients some high-end condos.
Oh. I heard you took a leave
of absence from your firm?
A little jumpy, huh?
Loud noises bring back
some pretty gnarly memories,
but, uh, nothing some truly spectacular
off-brand European tranquilizers
can't help.
- Here.
- No.
But hey, since you're here,
I know if this building falls,
I'm with the guy that
saved my ass the first time.
You should come over sometime,
we can discuss your
rich clients together.
That sounds like a plan.
All right then, see you around.
All right.
Something you forgot to mention?
I had a lot of clients at my old firm.
Some I'm less proud of than others.
It was my team that killed
the case against Jason Crawley
after the collapse three years ago.
Wow. Talk about burying the lede.
You can't keep stuff like this from
us. That's how mistakes are made.
I know. I just, you know
I regret everything I
did as part of that job.
And I saw a chance to make
a little bit of it right.
We don't work for you, Mr. Wilson.
We're not your private crusade team.
You're too close to this.
I'm not even sure you
should be on this con.
Wait, do we get a vote?
Because I say we keep him.
Your screw-ups make me look good.
Okay, let's open it up to the floor.
Do we keep our Mr. Wilson
on this con? Yay or nay.
The man's trying to make amends.
That means something to me. He's in.
Parker?
Yes.
But I reserve the right to push him
off the roof if he screws up again.
She wouldn't really push me
Thank you.
You stay. But no more surprises.
All right. What's next?
After today, Adrienne will shortly
be pulling the Crawleys' loans.
That'll give 'em about a
week to pay the loan back
before the bank seizes the building.
So we wait a few days
and boom, bankruptcy.
Yeah. Harry's right, though,
they'll look for more money.
Why don't we throw some bait out
there, make them ask us for the money.
We control them until it's too late.
Ohhh, hard dibs.
Guys, come on, I can do this. I'm ready.
Okay. But I do all the talking.
Well, I don't know why
they're calling in the loan!
You have to tell me! Jason, you
must have said something! Okay?
Look, I'm gonna make some calls.
No, no, no, no! Okay?
I am going to handle it!
- Oh, Jason, please.
- You're not going to do anything.
- I can take care
- All right.
Are you the owners of this building?
Sheila Blakely, business
manager to the artistic elite.
And this is 6daze.
Six who?
Really? Bit behind the times.
6daze happens to be the hottest voice
in anarchist-Marxist-hyperrealist
postmodernist street art.
Her retrospective at
the Tate just wrapped up,
and she's looking to move to the States.
I like to think it captures the
essence of American masculinity
challenged by the modern paradigm.
Is it ready?
What the hell? I stood over
there for three hours for this?
You're right there,
you center the piece.
My frickin' arm's tired!
Ooh!
This painting really makes me consider
the juxtaposition
between chaos and order.
Thank you.
You really captured Eliot's soul,
his inner conflicts laid bare.
Where?!
You know what would make
it really work pop
I was thinking the same thing.
A sheik in Qatar just
snapped up most of her work
from the Pompidou Centre in Paris,
so we're cash rich right now.
I gotta transition it into hard
assets, so got any units up for grabs?
6daze? Ah. Of course I know who you are.
My husband may not be familiar,
but I did a year at the
Royal College of Art.
Well, blow me down with a feather.
It would be an honor to show you around.
- Oh.
- Please.
This is the penthouse. Top
floor, right above our own suite.
You'll need to install skylights,
and an indoor skating rink.
She's mad about Yuzuru Hanyu.
And airlift in her favorite
maple tree from Japan, and yeah.
That's a very big outlay.
Um
Those museums she mentioned
may mean nothing to you,
but I did a year at the
Royal College of Art,
and once word gets out an
artist of her caliber lives here,
we can double the price on
every unit in the building!
It'd solve all of our loan problems.
So we'll need collateral, of course.
But I'm sure a business
manager to the stars
can get a letter of credit.
Mrs. Crawley, bunch of calls
for you in the main office.
Wow, this really is our day.
Jason, could you?
6daze says she likes the place.
She wants to make a deal.
Great. Me too.
But, um, my wife is right, we
would require a letter of credit.
I'll get on the blower to the bank,
but it's gonna take about two weeks.
Time which, uh, gives her
time to change her mind.
You know, these artists,
they can be a bit fickle.
Oh, right. Um, not not
before the end of the month?
No, not possible.
Stupid, isn't it?
I mean, the sales of
her last piece alone
could buy the ten top
stories of this building.
But please convey our
apologies to your good wife
that you were unable to close that deal.
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
Um, I'm sure a contract promising
the profits from her next sale
would be just as good.
If you can get it within a day.
Hello?
Ah, Ms. Blakely.
Just accepting delivery of
the Japanese Maple right now.
This thing is way more
expensive than I thought.
Yeah, mate, about that, sorry, but, uh,
6daze has just accepted an
artist's residency in Reykjavik,
so we won't be moving into the building.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on a second. Listen to me.
You can't do that, okay?
You can't do that because
we have a contract!
Contract Law 101: you
can get away with anything
if you bury it well enough.
By the time they read this,
it'll be too late to replace it.
Let's put this trigger clause behind
Article XXVII: The Balcony Pool
and Article XXVIII: Drone Law.
This contract? Did you even read it?
It lets them walk whenever they want!
We just wasted most of the week!
We can't get financing
from anyone else in time!
Why do bad things always happen to me?
Jason, look at me! I'm
not going to let us fail.
Now, I'm gonna go make my phone call.
Do you know the name Al-Abadi?
An influential Saudi family
whose daughter was
Krista's college roommate.
They just became shadow
partners in the tower.
I told you, guys like
Jason always find money.
We lost.
A party? Why'd they invite you?
Because I'm a fixer.
Jason needs his hand held with
the Al-Abadis to sign the deal.
Mr. Wilson. You've
been invited to a party.
We never say no to parties.
This party has to be such a fiasco
that the Al-Abadis flee
without signing a deal.
They're pretty tight with Krista.
So we undermine their faith in Jason,
by undermining his faith in the tower.
We already know from the blueprints
that he's paranoid
about another collapse,
and Mr. Wilson has tipped us off
about his reaction to loud noises.
Add to the stress of being within hours
of losing his company, he's primed.
Breanna?
Right. So the Crawleys' apartment
is your basic luxury blah blah blah.
I figure we rig the
living room furniture
and place rumble packs in the office.
What's this?
Parker!
That's a targeted subsonic projector.
It interferes with the
fluid in your inner ear.
The vibrations give you vertigo.
Cool.
Oh.
Yeah, you might wanna
Dial that down a bit, yeah.
Thank you.
Now, the radio signal won't
necessarily reach from the food truck,
so I'm thinking we need another place.
Wait. What about the suite
above the Crawleys right there?
We could set up a control room there.
Uh, the office is a little
tricky, but I don't see why
Wait, the con plays out at dinner
with Mr. Wilson. Why the office?
'Cause that's where the safe is.
On my tour, I noticed
that the wall depth is off.
Room for a wall safe.
It's not part of the plan.
If Jason's got evidence
from the building collapse
that could bring him to
justice, that's where it'll be.
If. No, the safe is a fishing
expedition. It could be worthless.
And it could endanger the team.
Mr. Wilson, this con
requires you to focus.
Please?
It'll take five minutes, in and out.
If it takes six, we bail.
Wait. Who are you?
I'm the head chef to the caterer.
Would you care to approve the menu?
Oh. Cassolette d'escargots de Bourgogne!
Excellent choice.
Oh, your taste is very
discerning, your accent impeccable.
Have you been abroad?
I did a year at the Royal
College of Art in London.
Well, one can tell.
Sir. Someone delivered
that, no one was here, so
Oh, right, it's for my wife.
I'm not tipping you.
That's no problem.
Are you sure you can handle this?
Oh, if there's one thing I know,
it's how to schmooze dirtbags.
But not how to fasten
cufflinks, apparently.
You've been doing that for 90 seconds.
Oh, maybe I am a little bit nervous.
You know, I used to go to these parties
and just become this person that I hate.
That's why you didn't tell us about
your connection to the Crawleys.
When my team killed
the case against Jason,
my firm gave me a bonus check.
- And I was
- Ashamed?
Proud.
I did my job and I did it well.
And I guess I just didn't want
you to look at me and know that.
You're not that person anymore.
And that speaks volumes.
Tonight, you're playing a role.
And your team needs you to perform.
I won't let you down.
See that you don't, our Mr. Wilson.
Krista, this is beautiful.
Oh, thank you! See, I knew
that you would love it.
Tell me how I can help you.
Well, hopefully I can talk you
into being more than tenants.
This tower is going to revitalize
New Orleans real estate,
and make its investors a lot of money.
Feeds are up and we are live.
And the sound?
I got speakers ready in the
office, on the roof, everywhere.
Hey, look. We're gonna mess
this guy up pretty hard.
Are we the bad guys here?
Oh, yeah.
Never forget that, Breanna.
We're not heroes. We're just necessary.
Mr. Wilson, when you
arrive, screen the others.
For what it's worth, we all got regrets.
You'll move past it.
How did you learn to live
with what you've done?
I decided not to care.
I didn't care who I hurt. Who paid me.
When Nate put this team together,
I thought it was one and
done, that I'd go back to that.
But Sophie, Parker,
Hardison, and Nathan Ford
showed me there was another way.
And little by little, you
get a piece of your soul back.
Ain't that right, Parker?
Absolutely.
- How's it going?
- Good evening, sir.
Hey, there he is.
Jason. Thanks for having me.
You kidding? You
literally saved my life.
You're the reason I'm not in prison.
So, uh, it's a nice place you have here.
Nice work. Now set the
scene, find the safe.
All right. First step
is a custom rumble pack
I modded to deliver five
times the standard impact.
I call him Little Bucky.
Aww. Little Bucky.
Everybody, meet Harry Wilson.
Best legal fixer in the country.
My wife, and the Al-Abadis.
Jason has told me a lot about you.
He said that you retired?
Oh, only mostly. I still protect
my most important clients' money.
So you're an accountant?
Not exactly.
Let's say that you have a company
and you receive a
government stimulus package.
An accountant would advise you
to open up an off-shore account.
Of course.
Well oh, thank you very much.
I would advise you to open
up a shell corp in Ireland,
manage it out of Bermuda,
then license a product from
your company to the shell corp
and route the royalties through Bermuda,
where you enjoy zero percent tax
on the profits you pay to yourself.
Like I said, best in the country.
Whoa. Harry was a good bad guy.
Parker, have you located that safe?
You can run but you can't hide.
Hello, new friend.
Uh-oh. New friend has an iris scanner.
Gonna need Jason's eyeball.
- I'll go find some chopsticks.
- Why?
Uh, wait, wait.
Parker, do you think you can find
a high-res photo of
Jason on his computer?
Keep stalling, Mr. Wilson.
Oh, get out of Nauru. You
gotta get out of Nauru.
Anything you're doing in
Nauru, you can do in Taiwan.
What, uh, would it take to
get you out of retirement?
Um, actually, I need a crostino.
You know, hors d'oeuvres is
French for "outside the work."
Keep them engaged until
Parker has that safe open.
I just need a second.
You don't have a second.
Your jaw is tense, your hand
is shaking. You're ashamed.
And you're letting it get in the way.
Let's talk Liechtenstein.
So iris scanners are easy to fool with,
as long as the iris
itself is above 75 pixels.
I'm in.
I still think chopsticks
would work, though.
And it's a bust.
Just a bunch of receipts
and Lawson Workman's Comp?
What? The Crawleys are paying
their crews' medical benefits?
Doesn't seem like them.
Well, it's definitely not
a smoking gun. I'm sorry.
Oh, man, you are killing it!
Am I?
I told Krista you were
the perfect guy to invite.
The Al-Abadis love you, they want
you to help negotiate the deal.
You are really riding to my rescue,
just like after the tower collapse
and that foreman got himself killed.
That foreman had a name.
Don't.
Mateo Navarro.
But you don't remember.
'Cause you didn't have to
read the death certificate.
You didn't have to let
the family know that
because they didn't have a green
card, they wouldn't be compensated.
No. That's what my
well-paid legal team was for.
We did a good job.
All so that you could play
victim at a dinner party.
Liam!
My friend Harry here
isn't feeling too well.
See him to his car.
I'll show myself out.
Congratulations, Mr. Wilson.
You just got yourself burned.
Get out of there. You're off the con.
I know, I screwed up.
Eliot and Parker are now exposed
because they were trying
to find your white whale,
and you can't help them.
You're officially out of
second chances, Mr. Wilson.
And you're not graded
on a curve, Ms. Casey.
Yeah, that last name
thing, that's kinda spooky.
Let's not do that anymore.
Losing our Mr. Wilson means that
we can't control things as directly.
But we've prepped. We
just have to execute.
Harry was so sorry to miss
dinner, but I told him,
"Your daughter calls,
she needs you, go."
Oh. Jason is all about family.
As are we. So, uh, shall we discuss
the terms of this partnership?
Act one. Mr. Crawley's
senses begin to betray him.
So when I first built this
place, I wanted to make sure
All those first-person
shooter games with Hardison
are about to pay off now.
Sorry about that.
I was just
I was just a just
a little unsteady there.
Anyway, as I was saying, when
I first built this place
Oh!
Is, uh, is something wrong?
You really didn't feel that?
No.
The whole floor shook.
It's nothing. It's nothing.
Maybe just a little too much champagne?
Yeah. You know what? That must be it.
You know what? I just, uh
I just remembered I need
something in my office.
Act two. Mr. Crawley's
subconscious is triggered
by the physical cues
of the first collapse.
He questions whether his tower
really is as safe as he thinks it is.
Let us give him his answer.
Just chill out. This place is safe.
You built this place safe.
Where's Parker?
Okay. There's video recordings
of the building's camera
in the security office,
so I asked her to
pull them just in case.
Good planning. Breanna.
Okay.
It's about time you called me back,
I've been leaving messages, okay?
I know you wanted to cut costs
because your husband was overbuilding,
but I have reviewed the plans.
You cut too much!
Especially in the foundation,
okay? It's a substandard pour.
I've reviewed the plans
and I sent them back over,
and I sent back over the receipt.
Just cut me a check
and leave me out of it!
No.
No.
Oh, no.
No, this can't happen.
This can't be.
This isn't happening.
This isn't happening.
Ah, not to brag, but did
I nail this mix or what?!
That is most definitely a brag.
Go on. Give Bucky a twirl.
Okay.
Come on, Bucky.
Jason, what is going on?
What happened to you?
What, are you drunk?
The tower is falling
down because of you!
If Sana and her father heard you
say that, we would lose everything!
You went behind my back and
hired terrible contractors
that did a terrible job!
Oh, Jason. I don't know
where these came from.
You always say you're gonna
fix things and I tell you no,
but you don't listen
and you know better,
but I'm the one who almost died, I'm
the one who almost went to prison!
Jason, breathe!
Do it!
Sit down.
Okay.
Jason, that happened.
But the people who are dead are dead.
They don't matter.
We matter.
We are here, and we
are so close to a deal.
But you are a little
high strung right now.
So please, calm down,
clean yourself up,
and stay out of sight.
So Jason, uh, has a migraine.
Yeah, he just works too
hard, he is so committed.
But he said we should
keep going without him.
No need. We have discussed it and
And we accept!
Oh! That is wonderful! Wonderful!
Okay, uh, well, let's
go to the office and
You know what? Actually, I will
run down to the sales office
and I'll get the paperwork.
Our plan is working.
Uh, we're running out of time.
Eliot. Act Three, please.
No, no. Have fun.
There you are!
The building's coming down
and he doesn't tell his guests?
This guy's more selfish
than I anticipated.
Hey, guys? Wait, wait, look.
He's headed for the roof.
Wait. The building is
collapsing and he's going up?
Mr. Wilson, earn it back.
Uh, guys, not to make matters worse,
but I can't find Krista
on any of the cams.
So the deal closes, I
get half in the divorce,
- and then we are free.
- Oh!
Uh
Well, she was hiding something.
The business manager and
the chef and and
6daze.
Yes! You're together?
And you're trying to sink this deal!
Take care of them.
Oh!
Hit him again!
Jason! Jason! You don't have to do this!
Jason just ran by.
Yeah, we, uh, we realized that
the paperwork is at our lawyer's!
So he's running there now to get it,
but he's going to meet us at this
wonderful little nightclub I know!
Oh, this is so much better in person!
Ow!
I mean, I heard the stories, but this!
Hey, not now.
Hey, hey. Don't do that.
Okay, I got a little bit
out of my lane right there.
He's got two sticks.
Hey. Hey.
Hey, hey, hey!
Turn if off!
I can't! It's broken!
We're pushing him too far!
Jason!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Uh, Jason just escaped down
some kind of a chute thing.
And these controls are for our
state-of-the-art fire-escape system.
On the roof, you can access
a special spiraling chute
that will lower you to the ground level.
Wait, that chute thing is real?!
I'm gonna go after him.
Oh, God!
He's gone. It's over.
No, there's still the finale.
Parker, did you get the call?
Well, Adrienne, I hope you can
tell the folks at Versailles
that their investment is in good hands.
Actually, I will be
leaving Versailles soon
for something more clandestine.
I think you could make
use of our services.
Call me if you need something
cleaned up in a hurry.
Adrienne? It's Jason Crawley.
I need something cleaned up.
I see. Let me arrange an
immediate wire transfer.
May I have an account
and routing number?
Transfer everything I have
into those accounts off-shore.
And ten million dollars just
dropped into our account.
We got Jason and Krista's
money? That's it, we're done?
No. Don't rush the ending.
Go on.
To new partnerships.
I can already tell that this is
going to be a beautiful, beautiful
Excuse me.
You went behind my back and
hired terrible contractors
that did a terrible job!
The tower is falling
down just like before,
but this time we'll go to prison!
If Sana and her father
heard you say that,
we would lose everything!
To the airport, please. Now.
Sana, Sana, I can explain
All of our friends, everyone in our
world, are going to know about this.
You will never sell so much
as a time share ever again.
Hold this.
I wanna be streamlined for the
next run down the fire escape. Whoo!
What do you guys think? Is she
coming down feet first or head first?
Oh, head. Definitely head.
I think I owe you an apology.
I was too close to this.
It's always personal, Mr. Wilson.
For each of us.
What you need to understand is that
we don't keep things from each other.
Well, what's next?
Axios Tower goes to
auction in a few months.
And with buyers scared off,
we're gonna use Jason's money
to purchase the building
pennies on the dollar.
Wait, we're gonna own this building?
Yeah.
Sick! We can make this into
a killer crime-fighting HQ!
We're gonna donate the tower.
To a low-income housing nonprofit.
Yeah, along with most
of the ten million.
The rest will make Isabella whole.
It's not perfect.
But it is a win.
Here. From the Crawley
safe. Maybe you can use it.
What is this?
Those are receipts.
Jason Crawley pays into workman's
comp, the fund has one benefactor.
You.
Your brother didn't have a green card.
It's no big leap to
assume you don't either.
Undocumented workers aren't entitled
to collect disability payments.
Please. I want to help.
But you've gotta come clean.
I was with Mateo the
day of the collapse.
Just completed this over here.
We need to move, but I'm really
concerned about the stability.
Mateo!
I feel like I should
say something to him.
Mateo!
Go grab some lunch, eh?
I saw him warn Jason and
get completely ignored,
seconds before the building came down.
After the accident, Jason
and Krista came to me and said
take the money and keep
quiet, or they deport me.
I couldn't leave Isabella alone.
I'm sorry, Isabella.
If you come forward and testify,
I will do everything in my power
to protect you.
And I will make sure that Jason
faces real consequences
for the collapse,
and Krista too for covering it up.
You will get real
justice for your brother.
You proud of our Mr. Wilson?
Well, it's not everyday
someone gets a little piece
of their soul back, is it?
Mateo! Mateo!
Why are you bothering
with stud reinforcement
when these floors needed
to be done three days ago?
Mr. Crawley, we've already
cut so many corners.
The structural integrity of
this building is dangerous.
I don't care. Just get
it done. Time is money.
Mateo, we got a problem.
That man killed my father.
Jason Crawley, he faced no
charges after four workers died
when his first building collapsed.
This is my father, Mateo.
He's one of the men that was
killed in the Lantern Building.
Hi, uh, my name is Harry Wilson,
and I'd like to talk to
you about Mateo Navarro.
Tio Xavi!
Sorry about my uncle.
He worked at the Lantern
Building with my dad,
but wasn't onsite the day it collapsed.
My dad knew that building was unsafe.
He filed multiple complaints,
but Mr. Crawley just ignored him.
And somehow those complaints
just mysteriously disappeared
- from Crawley's files?
- Yeah.
Covered the whole thing up.
Nothing could make
up for my dad's death.
And that's exactly what we got: nothing.
The only reason we're not homeless
is because Tio Xavi gets disability.
I don't want money or revenge.
I just don't want this to happen again.
I want Jason Crawley
to be held responsible.
Outrage across the
city as criminal charges
against owner Jason Crawley
stemming from the collapse
of his latest project
have been dismissed
due to lack of evidence.
While an associated civil case
would have a lower bar of proof,
without clear evidence
proving negligence,
that litigation would be
unlikely to produce new evidence,
or a settlement.
Listen, I'm all for taking initiative,
but we usually let our clients find us.
Tell me that this doesn't merit justice.
Three years ago, the Lantern Building
collapsed, killing four workers.
Despite rumors of negligence, as
we can see, Jason Crawley skated.
No criminal charges, no civil lawsuit.
Yeah. How'd he pull that off?
He had an army of lawyers,
but more importantly,
he moved up the date of
his wedding. Go ahead.
Society darling Krista Moore-Crawley.
Old money family, posh education,
she did a year at the Royal
College of Art in London,
so she thinks she has taste.
Krista's family connections
ensured that any complaints
or municipal investigations
proving negligence would go missing,
and Krista's family money propped
up Jason's real estate business.
Word is in this partnership,
Jason's the salesman,
but Krista's the brains.
A power imbalance,
we can work with that.
The happy couple is about to open
their new building: Axios Tower.
You got the blueprints
this time. Good job.
Yeah. I had to level up my game.
So you just give me the plans?
So, basically, all we have to do
is prove that Jason's been
negligent on this tower
and alert the authorities.
There's only one problem with that.
According to those plans, that's
the safest building in America.
The foundation's double secured,
the supports are
triple that of standard.
I mean, this thing could
withstand the apocalypse.
Well, he spent the money
'cause he's living in this one.
It's like the Klingon metaphor goes
"Even a fool buys stone for his house."
Hardison bet me that I couldn't
learn the language. He lost.
Did he?
That cost is the reason
most developers skimp on
safety: it's expensive.
His margins must be razor-thin.
- Do we have financial records?
- Yep.
Uh, in addition to the building,
the Crawleys have about ten
million dollars in various accounts.
They only have ten million? Yikes.
That sentence hurts my brain.
That's their soft spot.
The Crawleys bought far more
building than they could afford
and had to borrow hundreds of
millions of dollars to finance it.
Something goes wrong with
even one of those loans,
they don't have enough
cash on hand to cover it.
Yeah, but that's just
hitting him in the wallet.
I mean, guys like Jason can
find money anytime they want.
No, I promised Isabella
real, criminal justice.
Which is why you
should always talk to us
before you talk to the client.
We'll do what we can.
There's a new lead banker
assigned to the Crawleys' loans.
Adrienne Bisset.
Chances are they've never met her.
Parker, how's your French?
C'est magnifique.
It's magnifique.
Breathe in deeply. You are alive.
Breathe out. Let go.
Breathe in. Grateful.
The sun warms you. Breathe out. Relax.
You got Jason.
Monsieur Crawley.
Adrienne Bisset, Versailles
International Credit.
In reviewing your loan filings,
we have discovered some overages.
Uh, yes, yes, keeping a
building up to code is expensive,
but our highest priority.
We'll see. I will be stopping
by for an in-person inspection.
An in-person inspection?
Oui.
Wonderful, Ms. Bisset.
We look forward to showing
you our beautiful building.
Au revoir.
Great. What if they find something
wrong? We can't, I can't
There's nothing to
find. I made sure of it.
Hey.
Do your breathing.
Why am I the French one?
Because my American accent
is better than yours.
Versailles International
Credit. Adrienne Bisset speaking.
Hi there. This is Krista
Crawley from Axios Tower.
My husband and I have a loan with
you. We're gonna need more money.
And what will these funds be for?
To convert our regular floors
into two sets of tiny floors.
Double the floors, double the rent.
You should come check it out.
The timing here has to be perfect.
While Jason gives Parker a
tour of the completed areas,
Mr. Wilson and I will take
the real Adrienne Bisset
on a tour of the incomplete areas which,
after some careful prep
by Eliot and Breanna,
who will make it look
like such a disaster,
it will force her to pull the loan.
Oh, I hate business clothes.
They make me feel so starchy.
Why are we doing this at the same time?
Isn't it less risky to have
Adrienne take her tour today
and have Parker go tomorrow?
Billing. Inspections like this
are always billed to the client.
The Crawleys are gonna know
exactly what time she takes off,
what time her car picks her up.
Besides, if it was
easy, it wouldn't be fun.
All right, let's go steal a
luxury development condo financier!
It doesn't work if you say it like that.
What do you mean? You guys
act like there's rules to this,
but nobody ever explains what they are.
Hallway's renovated.
We should renovate the suite next.
Yeah.
Hello! You must be Adrienne.
Oui, I am Adrienne.
Ooh, I hope this is worth
the long flight from France.
Where I am from.
I hope so too! This way please.
We're so sorry that the
Crawleys couldn't make it.
We're the architects, and we'd
love to take you on the tour.
Bonjour.
And why are we going
through the service entrance?
What? Oh, no, this is the
private penthouse entrance.
We like to call it
Industrial chic.
Oh.
Shall we?
Of course.
Where are they?
Uh, the red is Harry and
Sophie, the green is Parker.
And I'm in the elevator system.
Axios Tower is 20
state-of-the-art stories.
Plus triple-paned glass
means no sound gets through.
Ah. Sound-proof glass. Very good.
Axios Tower, uh, is 20
state-of-the-art stories.
We halved the depth of all
the walls. We saved a fortune.
It's a little noisy. But it really
feels like you're in the city.
- Oh.
- If, God forbid, a fire should break out,
these controls are for our
state-of-the-art fire-escape system.
On the roof, you can access
a special spiraling chute
that will lower you to the ground level.
Plus a highly rated
foam sprinkler system.
Hmm.
And if, God forbid, a
fire should break out
- We have one on every
- Mm-mm.
almost every floor.
Ah. Interesting wall depth.
And the last stop, our
furnished apartment.
Ah, Ms. Bisset, I presume.
I hope that you're enjoying your tour.
This is my amazing wife, Krista.
She keeps me calm and smiling.
A pleasure.
Uh, Mr. Crawley, I have a schedule
You know, I am certain that
we have friends in common.
Did you graduate class
of 2011 from the Sorbonne?
You know, I I actually did a year
at the Royal College of Art, so
So I'm sure we know the same people.
It it's a work in progress, we know.
Oh. Bonjour.
So I told the contractor,
if they want overtime
pay, bless their hearts
Parker, you need to wrap 'em up.
They can hire
lawyers and sue us for it.
You and me the perfect team.
Well, merci for protecting our
investment, but I really must go.
Hey, uh, Sophie, Parker got delayed,
but you're running a little bit ahead.
So you guys might cross.
Uh, uh, perhaps you'd like to come
back and see our plans for a gym?
I I have seen enough, merci!
Merci beaucoup, au revoir !
No!
Don't push.
Guys! Guys! You're about to be made!
Excuse me.
Hey, big guy.
Harry Wilson, you old dog!
So Harry, what are you doing here?
Oh, you know, showing some high-end
clients some high-end condos.
Oh. I heard you took a leave
of absence from your firm?
A little jumpy, huh?
Loud noises bring back
some pretty gnarly memories,
but, uh, nothing some truly spectacular
off-brand European tranquilizers
can't help.
- Here.
- No.
But hey, since you're here,
I know if this building falls,
I'm with the guy that
saved my ass the first time.
You should come over sometime,
we can discuss your
rich clients together.
That sounds like a plan.
All right then, see you around.
All right.
Something you forgot to mention?
I had a lot of clients at my old firm.
Some I'm less proud of than others.
It was my team that killed
the case against Jason Crawley
after the collapse three years ago.
Wow. Talk about burying the lede.
You can't keep stuff like this from
us. That's how mistakes are made.
I know. I just, you know
I regret everything I
did as part of that job.
And I saw a chance to make
a little bit of it right.
We don't work for you, Mr. Wilson.
We're not your private crusade team.
You're too close to this.
I'm not even sure you
should be on this con.
Wait, do we get a vote?
Because I say we keep him.
Your screw-ups make me look good.
Okay, let's open it up to the floor.
Do we keep our Mr. Wilson
on this con? Yay or nay.
The man's trying to make amends.
That means something to me. He's in.
Parker?
Yes.
But I reserve the right to push him
off the roof if he screws up again.
She wouldn't really push me
Thank you.
You stay. But no more surprises.
All right. What's next?
After today, Adrienne will shortly
be pulling the Crawleys' loans.
That'll give 'em about a
week to pay the loan back
before the bank seizes the building.
So we wait a few days
and boom, bankruptcy.
Yeah. Harry's right, though,
they'll look for more money.
Why don't we throw some bait out
there, make them ask us for the money.
We control them until it's too late.
Ohhh, hard dibs.
Guys, come on, I can do this. I'm ready.
Okay. But I do all the talking.
Well, I don't know why
they're calling in the loan!
You have to tell me! Jason, you
must have said something! Okay?
Look, I'm gonna make some calls.
No, no, no, no! Okay?
I am going to handle it!
- Oh, Jason, please.
- You're not going to do anything.
- I can take care
- All right.
Are you the owners of this building?
Sheila Blakely, business
manager to the artistic elite.
And this is 6daze.
Six who?
Really? Bit behind the times.
6daze happens to be the hottest voice
in anarchist-Marxist-hyperrealist
postmodernist street art.
Her retrospective at
the Tate just wrapped up,
and she's looking to move to the States.
I like to think it captures the
essence of American masculinity
challenged by the modern paradigm.
Is it ready?
What the hell? I stood over
there for three hours for this?
You're right there,
you center the piece.
My frickin' arm's tired!
Ooh!
This painting really makes me consider
the juxtaposition
between chaos and order.
Thank you.
You really captured Eliot's soul,
his inner conflicts laid bare.
Where?!
You know what would make
it really work pop
I was thinking the same thing.
A sheik in Qatar just
snapped up most of her work
from the Pompidou Centre in Paris,
so we're cash rich right now.
I gotta transition it into hard
assets, so got any units up for grabs?
6daze? Ah. Of course I know who you are.
My husband may not be familiar,
but I did a year at the
Royal College of Art.
Well, blow me down with a feather.
It would be an honor to show you around.
- Oh.
- Please.
This is the penthouse. Top
floor, right above our own suite.
You'll need to install skylights,
and an indoor skating rink.
She's mad about Yuzuru Hanyu.
And airlift in her favorite
maple tree from Japan, and yeah.
That's a very big outlay.
Um
Those museums she mentioned
may mean nothing to you,
but I did a year at the
Royal College of Art,
and once word gets out an
artist of her caliber lives here,
we can double the price on
every unit in the building!
It'd solve all of our loan problems.
So we'll need collateral, of course.
But I'm sure a business
manager to the stars
can get a letter of credit.
Mrs. Crawley, bunch of calls
for you in the main office.
Wow, this really is our day.
Jason, could you?
6daze says she likes the place.
She wants to make a deal.
Great. Me too.
But, um, my wife is right, we
would require a letter of credit.
I'll get on the blower to the bank,
but it's gonna take about two weeks.
Time which, uh, gives her
time to change her mind.
You know, these artists,
they can be a bit fickle.
Oh, right. Um, not not
before the end of the month?
No, not possible.
Stupid, isn't it?
I mean, the sales of
her last piece alone
could buy the ten top
stories of this building.
But please convey our
apologies to your good wife
that you were unable to close that deal.
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
Um, I'm sure a contract promising
the profits from her next sale
would be just as good.
If you can get it within a day.
Hello?
Ah, Ms. Blakely.
Just accepting delivery of
the Japanese Maple right now.
This thing is way more
expensive than I thought.
Yeah, mate, about that, sorry, but, uh,
6daze has just accepted an
artist's residency in Reykjavik,
so we won't be moving into the building.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on a second. Listen to me.
You can't do that, okay?
You can't do that because
we have a contract!
Contract Law 101: you
can get away with anything
if you bury it well enough.
By the time they read this,
it'll be too late to replace it.
Let's put this trigger clause behind
Article XXVII: The Balcony Pool
and Article XXVIII: Drone Law.
This contract? Did you even read it?
It lets them walk whenever they want!
We just wasted most of the week!
We can't get financing
from anyone else in time!
Why do bad things always happen to me?
Jason, look at me! I'm
not going to let us fail.
Now, I'm gonna go make my phone call.
Do you know the name Al-Abadi?
An influential Saudi family
whose daughter was
Krista's college roommate.
They just became shadow
partners in the tower.
I told you, guys like
Jason always find money.
We lost.
A party? Why'd they invite you?
Because I'm a fixer.
Jason needs his hand held with
the Al-Abadis to sign the deal.
Mr. Wilson. You've
been invited to a party.
We never say no to parties.
This party has to be such a fiasco
that the Al-Abadis flee
without signing a deal.
They're pretty tight with Krista.
So we undermine their faith in Jason,
by undermining his faith in the tower.
We already know from the blueprints
that he's paranoid
about another collapse,
and Mr. Wilson has tipped us off
about his reaction to loud noises.
Add to the stress of being within hours
of losing his company, he's primed.
Breanna?
Right. So the Crawleys' apartment
is your basic luxury blah blah blah.
I figure we rig the
living room furniture
and place rumble packs in the office.
What's this?
Parker!
That's a targeted subsonic projector.
It interferes with the
fluid in your inner ear.
The vibrations give you vertigo.
Cool.
Oh.
Yeah, you might wanna
Dial that down a bit, yeah.
Thank you.
Now, the radio signal won't
necessarily reach from the food truck,
so I'm thinking we need another place.
Wait. What about the suite
above the Crawleys right there?
We could set up a control room there.
Uh, the office is a little
tricky, but I don't see why
Wait, the con plays out at dinner
with Mr. Wilson. Why the office?
'Cause that's where the safe is.
On my tour, I noticed
that the wall depth is off.
Room for a wall safe.
It's not part of the plan.
If Jason's got evidence
from the building collapse
that could bring him to
justice, that's where it'll be.
If. No, the safe is a fishing
expedition. It could be worthless.
And it could endanger the team.
Mr. Wilson, this con
requires you to focus.
Please?
It'll take five minutes, in and out.
If it takes six, we bail.
Wait. Who are you?
I'm the head chef to the caterer.
Would you care to approve the menu?
Oh. Cassolette d'escargots de Bourgogne!
Excellent choice.
Oh, your taste is very
discerning, your accent impeccable.
Have you been abroad?
I did a year at the Royal
College of Art in London.
Well, one can tell.
Sir. Someone delivered
that, no one was here, so
Oh, right, it's for my wife.
I'm not tipping you.
That's no problem.
Are you sure you can handle this?
Oh, if there's one thing I know,
it's how to schmooze dirtbags.
But not how to fasten
cufflinks, apparently.
You've been doing that for 90 seconds.
Oh, maybe I am a little bit nervous.
You know, I used to go to these parties
and just become this person that I hate.
That's why you didn't tell us about
your connection to the Crawleys.
When my team killed
the case against Jason,
my firm gave me a bonus check.
- And I was
- Ashamed?
Proud.
I did my job and I did it well.
And I guess I just didn't want
you to look at me and know that.
You're not that person anymore.
And that speaks volumes.
Tonight, you're playing a role.
And your team needs you to perform.
I won't let you down.
See that you don't, our Mr. Wilson.
Krista, this is beautiful.
Oh, thank you! See, I knew
that you would love it.
Tell me how I can help you.
Well, hopefully I can talk you
into being more than tenants.
This tower is going to revitalize
New Orleans real estate,
and make its investors a lot of money.
Feeds are up and we are live.
And the sound?
I got speakers ready in the
office, on the roof, everywhere.
Hey, look. We're gonna mess
this guy up pretty hard.
Are we the bad guys here?
Oh, yeah.
Never forget that, Breanna.
We're not heroes. We're just necessary.
Mr. Wilson, when you
arrive, screen the others.
For what it's worth, we all got regrets.
You'll move past it.
How did you learn to live
with what you've done?
I decided not to care.
I didn't care who I hurt. Who paid me.
When Nate put this team together,
I thought it was one and
done, that I'd go back to that.
But Sophie, Parker,
Hardison, and Nathan Ford
showed me there was another way.
And little by little, you
get a piece of your soul back.
Ain't that right, Parker?
Absolutely.
- How's it going?
- Good evening, sir.
Hey, there he is.
Jason. Thanks for having me.
You kidding? You
literally saved my life.
You're the reason I'm not in prison.
So, uh, it's a nice place you have here.
Nice work. Now set the
scene, find the safe.
All right. First step
is a custom rumble pack
I modded to deliver five
times the standard impact.
I call him Little Bucky.
Aww. Little Bucky.
Everybody, meet Harry Wilson.
Best legal fixer in the country.
My wife, and the Al-Abadis.
Jason has told me a lot about you.
He said that you retired?
Oh, only mostly. I still protect
my most important clients' money.
So you're an accountant?
Not exactly.
Let's say that you have a company
and you receive a
government stimulus package.
An accountant would advise you
to open up an off-shore account.
Of course.
Well oh, thank you very much.
I would advise you to open
up a shell corp in Ireland,
manage it out of Bermuda,
then license a product from
your company to the shell corp
and route the royalties through Bermuda,
where you enjoy zero percent tax
on the profits you pay to yourself.
Like I said, best in the country.
Whoa. Harry was a good bad guy.
Parker, have you located that safe?
You can run but you can't hide.
Hello, new friend.
Uh-oh. New friend has an iris scanner.
Gonna need Jason's eyeball.
- I'll go find some chopsticks.
- Why?
Uh, wait, wait.
Parker, do you think you can find
a high-res photo of
Jason on his computer?
Keep stalling, Mr. Wilson.
Oh, get out of Nauru. You
gotta get out of Nauru.
Anything you're doing in
Nauru, you can do in Taiwan.
What, uh, would it take to
get you out of retirement?
Um, actually, I need a crostino.
You know, hors d'oeuvres is
French for "outside the work."
Keep them engaged until
Parker has that safe open.
I just need a second.
You don't have a second.
Your jaw is tense, your hand
is shaking. You're ashamed.
And you're letting it get in the way.
Let's talk Liechtenstein.
So iris scanners are easy to fool with,
as long as the iris
itself is above 75 pixels.
I'm in.
I still think chopsticks
would work, though.
And it's a bust.
Just a bunch of receipts
and Lawson Workman's Comp?
What? The Crawleys are paying
their crews' medical benefits?
Doesn't seem like them.
Well, it's definitely not
a smoking gun. I'm sorry.
Oh, man, you are killing it!
Am I?
I told Krista you were
the perfect guy to invite.
The Al-Abadis love you, they want
you to help negotiate the deal.
You are really riding to my rescue,
just like after the tower collapse
and that foreman got himself killed.
That foreman had a name.
Don't.
Mateo Navarro.
But you don't remember.
'Cause you didn't have to
read the death certificate.
You didn't have to let
the family know that
because they didn't have a green
card, they wouldn't be compensated.
No. That's what my
well-paid legal team was for.
We did a good job.
All so that you could play
victim at a dinner party.
Liam!
My friend Harry here
isn't feeling too well.
See him to his car.
I'll show myself out.
Congratulations, Mr. Wilson.
You just got yourself burned.
Get out of there. You're off the con.
I know, I screwed up.
Eliot and Parker are now exposed
because they were trying
to find your white whale,
and you can't help them.
You're officially out of
second chances, Mr. Wilson.
And you're not graded
on a curve, Ms. Casey.
Yeah, that last name
thing, that's kinda spooky.
Let's not do that anymore.
Losing our Mr. Wilson means that
we can't control things as directly.
But we've prepped. We
just have to execute.
Harry was so sorry to miss
dinner, but I told him,
"Your daughter calls,
she needs you, go."
Oh. Jason is all about family.
As are we. So, uh, shall we discuss
the terms of this partnership?
Act one. Mr. Crawley's
senses begin to betray him.
So when I first built this
place, I wanted to make sure
All those first-person
shooter games with Hardison
are about to pay off now.
Sorry about that.
I was just
I was just a just
a little unsteady there.
Anyway, as I was saying, when
I first built this place
Oh!
Is, uh, is something wrong?
You really didn't feel that?
No.
The whole floor shook.
It's nothing. It's nothing.
Maybe just a little too much champagne?
Yeah. You know what? That must be it.
You know what? I just, uh
I just remembered I need
something in my office.
Act two. Mr. Crawley's
subconscious is triggered
by the physical cues
of the first collapse.
He questions whether his tower
really is as safe as he thinks it is.
Let us give him his answer.
Just chill out. This place is safe.
You built this place safe.
Where's Parker?
Okay. There's video recordings
of the building's camera
in the security office,
so I asked her to
pull them just in case.
Good planning. Breanna.
Okay.
It's about time you called me back,
I've been leaving messages, okay?
I know you wanted to cut costs
because your husband was overbuilding,
but I have reviewed the plans.
You cut too much!
Especially in the foundation,
okay? It's a substandard pour.
I've reviewed the plans
and I sent them back over,
and I sent back over the receipt.
Just cut me a check
and leave me out of it!
No.
No.
Oh, no.
No, this can't happen.
This can't be.
This isn't happening.
This isn't happening.
Ah, not to brag, but did
I nail this mix or what?!
That is most definitely a brag.
Go on. Give Bucky a twirl.
Okay.
Come on, Bucky.
Jason, what is going on?
What happened to you?
What, are you drunk?
The tower is falling
down because of you!
If Sana and her father heard you
say that, we would lose everything!
You went behind my back and
hired terrible contractors
that did a terrible job!
Oh, Jason. I don't know
where these came from.
You always say you're gonna
fix things and I tell you no,
but you don't listen
and you know better,
but I'm the one who almost died, I'm
the one who almost went to prison!
Jason, breathe!
Do it!
Sit down.
Okay.
Jason, that happened.
But the people who are dead are dead.
They don't matter.
We matter.
We are here, and we
are so close to a deal.
But you are a little
high strung right now.
So please, calm down,
clean yourself up,
and stay out of sight.
So Jason, uh, has a migraine.
Yeah, he just works too
hard, he is so committed.
But he said we should
keep going without him.
No need. We have discussed it and
And we accept!
Oh! That is wonderful! Wonderful!
Okay, uh, well, let's
go to the office and
You know what? Actually, I will
run down to the sales office
and I'll get the paperwork.
Our plan is working.
Uh, we're running out of time.
Eliot. Act Three, please.
No, no. Have fun.
There you are!
The building's coming down
and he doesn't tell his guests?
This guy's more selfish
than I anticipated.
Hey, guys? Wait, wait, look.
He's headed for the roof.
Wait. The building is
collapsing and he's going up?
Mr. Wilson, earn it back.
Uh, guys, not to make matters worse,
but I can't find Krista
on any of the cams.
So the deal closes, I
get half in the divorce,
- and then we are free.
- Oh!
Uh
Well, she was hiding something.
The business manager and
the chef and and
6daze.
Yes! You're together?
And you're trying to sink this deal!
Take care of them.
Oh!
Hit him again!
Jason! Jason! You don't have to do this!
Jason just ran by.
Yeah, we, uh, we realized that
the paperwork is at our lawyer's!
So he's running there now to get it,
but he's going to meet us at this
wonderful little nightclub I know!
Oh, this is so much better in person!
Ow!
I mean, I heard the stories, but this!
Hey, not now.
Hey, hey. Don't do that.
Okay, I got a little bit
out of my lane right there.
He's got two sticks.
Hey. Hey.
Hey, hey, hey!
Turn if off!
I can't! It's broken!
We're pushing him too far!
Jason!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Uh, Jason just escaped down
some kind of a chute thing.
And these controls are for our
state-of-the-art fire-escape system.
On the roof, you can access
a special spiraling chute
that will lower you to the ground level.
Wait, that chute thing is real?!
I'm gonna go after him.
Oh, God!
He's gone. It's over.
No, there's still the finale.
Parker, did you get the call?
Well, Adrienne, I hope you can
tell the folks at Versailles
that their investment is in good hands.
Actually, I will be
leaving Versailles soon
for something more clandestine.
I think you could make
use of our services.
Call me if you need something
cleaned up in a hurry.
Adrienne? It's Jason Crawley.
I need something cleaned up.
I see. Let me arrange an
immediate wire transfer.
May I have an account
and routing number?
Transfer everything I have
into those accounts off-shore.
And ten million dollars just
dropped into our account.
We got Jason and Krista's
money? That's it, we're done?
No. Don't rush the ending.
Go on.
To new partnerships.
I can already tell that this is
going to be a beautiful, beautiful
Excuse me.
You went behind my back and
hired terrible contractors
that did a terrible job!
The tower is falling
down just like before,
but this time we'll go to prison!
If Sana and her father
heard you say that,
we would lose everything!
To the airport, please. Now.
Sana, Sana, I can explain
All of our friends, everyone in our
world, are going to know about this.
You will never sell so much
as a time share ever again.
Hold this.
I wanna be streamlined for the
next run down the fire escape. Whoo!
What do you guys think? Is she
coming down feet first or head first?
Oh, head. Definitely head.
I think I owe you an apology.
I was too close to this.
It's always personal, Mr. Wilson.
For each of us.
What you need to understand is that
we don't keep things from each other.
Well, what's next?
Axios Tower goes to
auction in a few months.
And with buyers scared off,
we're gonna use Jason's money
to purchase the building
pennies on the dollar.
Wait, we're gonna own this building?
Yeah.
Sick! We can make this into
a killer crime-fighting HQ!
We're gonna donate the tower.
To a low-income housing nonprofit.
Yeah, along with most
of the ten million.
The rest will make Isabella whole.
It's not perfect.
But it is a win.
Here. From the Crawley
safe. Maybe you can use it.
What is this?
Those are receipts.
Jason Crawley pays into workman's
comp, the fund has one benefactor.
You.
Your brother didn't have a green card.
It's no big leap to
assume you don't either.
Undocumented workers aren't entitled
to collect disability payments.
Please. I want to help.
But you've gotta come clean.
I was with Mateo the
day of the collapse.
Just completed this over here.
We need to move, but I'm really
concerned about the stability.
Mateo!
I feel like I should
say something to him.
Mateo!
Go grab some lunch, eh?
I saw him warn Jason and
get completely ignored,
seconds before the building came down.
After the accident, Jason
and Krista came to me and said
take the money and keep
quiet, or they deport me.
I couldn't leave Isabella alone.
I'm sorry, Isabella.
If you come forward and testify,
I will do everything in my power
to protect you.
And I will make sure that Jason
faces real consequences
for the collapse,
and Krista too for covering it up.
You will get real
justice for your brother.
You proud of our Mr. Wilson?
Well, it's not everyday
someone gets a little piece
of their soul back, is it?
