["Ahmad's Blues" playing]
My name is Nazan and I'm an addict.
[therapy group] Hi, Nazan.
I go through
The strangest kind of changes ♪
Tryin' to find myself
A way to pay my dues ♪
[Nazan] I've been clean
for four years and one week.
Work is good. They're trusting me again.
For the most part.
We talk a lot here
about setting boundaries, rules.
- [man 1] North side clear.
- [man 2] Clear here.
Everybody fall back. Regroup outside.
[Nazan] I'm clean because of those rules.
When I was using,
everything went by in a blur.
But now, now I'm seeing details,
things I'd missed.
A feeling I'd missed.
And I pay attention to those feelings.
Sometimes they're right. Sometimes
[scoffs]
But these days, more often than not,
they put me on the right path,
even if it doesn't always seem it.
I'm telling you
About this bag of blues ♪
Please listen to my story now ♪
It's payin' dues ♪
Paid a whole lotta dues, baby ♪
But I got news ♪
Gonna change my way of living ♪
Gimme that, I really want that ♪
Speakin' 'bout bag of blues ♪
[grunts]
Mister, I'm payin' dues ♪
Listen, I'm changin' shoes ♪
[man] I think they're over here!
Move, move, move! FBI! Don't move!
[panting] The hell took you so long?
Ahmad's blues ♪
That's why they're giving me
another chance with Reza, my son.
[man] Hmm.
It's going to be
our first unsupervised weekend.
Maybe a path to shared custody. We'll see.
Baby steps.
Well, less than baby steps.
- Infant steps. Fetus steps. I don't know.
- [group chuckle]
It's a step. That's all that matters.
[laughter and applause]
And in this corner,
the wrestling champion
of the Lower East Side.
Come on, people!
Number four on Cyber's Most Wanted,
Agent Abbasi takes him down.
Let's hear some applause.
All right, all right,
settle down, settle down.
Thank you for that
excessively warm welcome, Agent Toby.
- Jealous. They're all jealous.
- [chuckles]
What? I can't be impressed?
Oh, you can be impressed
if you're going to help
with the paperwork.
I mean, just look here
how sexy these forms are.
R84, FT209.
You're a temptress.
- That's inappropriate workplace behavior.
- [both chuckle]
And I would 100% enjoy
the hell out of that, but we're, uh
We're big into this Diamond Way break.
Oh, yeah? What did you catch?
We got a match on a print
off a shell casing.
That's great.
So? Who's the diamond snatcher?
Hey, congrats on the Jagos thing.
You got a hit on Ava Mercer
and you weren't gonna tell me?
Didn't know our Boy Scout
was the town crier.
Tell me you got more
than a fingerprint and a bullet.
If that's it, do not bring her in.
She'll run rings around you.
Look, I appreciate
that you and Mercer have a history.
I can be helpful on this.
There's nothing to be helpful on.
Odds are it's some mix-up.
She's an uptown lawyer for Christ's sakes.
Ava Mercer may be bent,
but I doubt she's the big bad jewel thief
we're looking for.
We did well.
Yeah?
You think we have enough
to pull off the next heist?
To buy what we want or what we need?
Cracking a state-of-the-art vault
requires special gear.
We'll get what we get, Leo.
We'll make it work.
- Want me to tag along?
- No.
You know Javier prefers me alone.
More reason I should be there.
[in Spanish] Jealousy is thin and yellow
because it bites but never eats.
Ava.
[in English] Forget something?
["Hand Clapping Song" playing]
Clap your hands now, people, clap now ♪
Clap your hands now, people
Clap your hands ♪
Clap your hands now, people, clap now ♪
Clap your hands now, people
Clap your hands ♪
Right on time.
Punctuality is so rare in beautiful women.
Come on, Bob. I go alone. That's the deal.
I don't know your man.
I barely know you or Grandpa Joe.
I got blood in the game.
If I want to play, I'll play.
Keep to the back. Don't make waves, okay?
Waves make the boat rock, baby.
- [chuckles]
- And what is that supposed to mean?
This is everything?
Except for a few holdbacks.
Three hundred.
Three? Fuck that noise.
Um
We had the evaluation a bit higher.
These will be difficult to move,
given their provenance.
I'll have to find a buyer
outside the States.
I got a bloke in Philly
who'd give a million for that.
[clocks chiming]
Yes. Well, perhaps Philly
would be the place for this transaction.
[in Spanish] Useless as tits on a nun.
Where did you find him?
[in English] Huh?
Don't start with this shit.
[in Spanish] Maybe the next time
you need legal assistance
[Bob in English]
What are you saying? Hmm?
- Four hundred.
- Four?
[scoffs] Who's the thief now?
Okay.
Give me one hour for the funds.
- Gracias, bello.
- Ciao.
I'll be outside.
[door opens]
[Nazan] We can do that. Yeah.
Oh, there's a new ice cream place
around the corner.
Can I get a rum raisin?
Whatever you want.
We can also go to the carousel.
Oh!
Mama Foxy loves the carousel.
Does little foxy still love the carousel?
Little foxy loves carousels too.
- Okay, good.
- [man] Come on. Say bye to Mom.
Time to do homework.
Dad says I have to do my science homework.
Oh, okay.
Okay, yeah. Homework is important.
I'm so excited to see you. I love you.
- I love you too. Bye!
- Tell your dad I'm gonna
[pensive music playing]
[sighs]
[RJ] You want an armored car?
I want a duplicate of an armored car.
An exact replica that will get us through
the security gate at the SLS vault.
If we fake our way in, we may
be able to get into the loading dock
without setting off alarms.
Then you have to start
with the cab configuration.
I bet those trucks are 132s,
but the suspension's, like, crazy tight
and if we got a heavy load in the back,
we'll be tailing all over the place.
Just no bueno.
Hold up.
There's this bassist from Fairlawn,
his dad had a 2003 Chevy C4500
that's a dead twin.
Get one of those,
I could extend the cab, tweak it up.
Hold up.
I have his number in here somewhere.
Stan, you source that?
Stan!
Stan! Can you get us that truck?
2003 Chevy. Tweak. I'm on it.
Okay, so he didn't
technically graduate with us,
but I'm pretty sure he signed my yearbook
and wrote his phone number.
- [sniffles]
- Oh.
He drew, um He drew a penis.
[metal clatters]
[sighs] Oxy-petrol's
a beautiful combination, isn't it?
[Leo] Good job, Judy.
Is it stable?
[Judy] I mean,
I wouldn't shoot at it or around it,
but, uh, if we're going up against steel
over two inches thick,
we're going to need some heat.
Hey, I got a guy in the Iron Triangle
who can get us a practice safe,
and I thought maybe you and I
could go up there together.
Who's in the mood for Sizzler? Huh?
Don't worry, Uncle Bob's buying.
- [Leo] How much?
- [Ava] Four hundred. More than fair.
Mamacita was ready to settle for three,
but I pumped the bloke a little.
What would we ever do without you?
Who eats spaghetti with chopsticks?
Like, a billion people.
Remember what it took to get this.
It's not an open bank.
Truck. Tech. Safes.
Explosives and chemicals.
This should cover all we need
to get into the vault at SLS.
I expect you to come in
on time and on budget.
How come she gets so much?
This is New York, querido.
It's all about real estate.
[woman] This building has a full-service
gym and spa for all tenants.
Home to multiple Fortune 500 corporations,
financial institutions,
even a few museums that use our building
as holding facilities for art overstock.
Oh!
- Good afternoon, Mr. Salas.
- Hey, Leighanne. You on a tour?
Yes. This is Roger Salas.
He's been a tenant for seven years.
This is Mallory, um
- Rosenthal.
- Yeah.
Belgrano Industrial.
End-user optimization.
And you, Mr. Salas?
We protect the things
that are worth protecting. Enjoy the tour.
You asked about our security features.
We're second to none.
So rare to get bare space
like this in Manhattan.
I'll want to make some changes.
Oh, of course.
Every business has its individual needs.
Tell me, Ms. Rosenthal, uh,
what exactly is end-user optimization?
We'll take it.
First and last month in cash?
I'll get started on the paperwork.
[Ava] Mmm.
[Nazan on recording]
In ways that I trusted,
I could see, or appreciated.
Ava Mercer knows Ray Vernon
and she knows where he is.
She's lying. There
There's something bullshit
[tape clicks]
[in Spanish] Hmm.
I love you, little rabbit.
I love you, Te-Te.
I can make a snack.
- No.
- You must be hungry.
- I'm okay. Let's just sleep.
- Mm.
Were you a good girl today?
- I'm good everyday, Te-Te.
- [chuckles]
[cell phone vibrating]
[in English] Hey, uh,
you should not be in here. Ted will flip.
[scoffs] I'm the only one
who really knows her.
Quiet as a mouse.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Special Agent Gough.
We spoke on the phone.
Are you comfortable
with this interview being recorded?
Am I under arrest?
[Ted] Of course not.
Just some questions.
[Ava] Then tape whatever you like.
Family is Spanish, but you came over
from Argentina as a refugee?
Mmm-hmm. Many years ago.
I'm a citizen now.
This was during the Dirty War?
Well, they called it that.
We called it genocide.
No guardian, no sponsor,
your parents gone.
On your own as a child,
no living relatives,
alone in a strange country,
and yet here you are.
Here I am?
A woman with power,
with connections, with money.
You've come a long way.
And yet I can still be
called into the FBI for no reason.
- I wouldn't say there's no reason.
- Then perhaps you get to it.
Do you enjoy
being an attorney, Miss Mercer?
Uh, let's say that I enjoy
doing things I'm good at.
[Ted] You work
for a lot of questionable people.
I could say the same for you.
Diamond District, you saw the news.
It's been hard to miss. Yeah.
We found a shell casing at the scene
with a fingerprint on it.
When we ran it through our databases,
we got an odd match. You.
I'm wondering how you'd explain that.
I can't say I'm surprised.
About a month ago I reported
two of my guns as stolen to the police.
I own a number of guns
as is my Second Amendment right
as a US citizen.
And like any other responsible gun owner,
I load my own weapons.
So, um, that would explain
my print on the casing.
It's terribly upsetting to think
any of them were used in a criminal act.
You'll excuse me
while I confirm this with the NYPD.
[Ava] It was Abbasi. I'm sure of it.
[sighs] That's not good.
You've gotten heat from her before.
[heavy metal playing on headphones]
[sighs]
We got to take precautions.
Double back for follows.
Nobody can know about this place.
I'll get some burners just in case.
What is your gut telling you?
Do we have a real problem?
No.
No?
No, we're good.
- There is a bigger picture here.
- Here we go again.
He does not understand
what could be at stake.
Did she tell you why she wants to do this?
Ted.
No doubt Agent Abbasi
has experience in this matter,
but due to her prior issues
with Miss Mercer,
I decided it was in the Bureau's
best interest to keep her at arm's length.
Seven years ago, Ava Mercer
lodged a formal complaint against me.
She claimed that I appeared to be
under the influence during an interview
in which she provided info
about a client she believed was in danger.
She claimed that, uh, my failure
to take that information seriously
contributed to her client's death.
And this was during the period when you
Yes, ma'am. I was using at the time.
I am aware that I was unable
to make proper judgments
about the situation.
Her complaint led,
in part, to my suspension.
I see the complication.
This is not about retribution.
I know how her mind works.
- She has an alibi.
- She manipulates.
- Her information checks out.
- I can consult. That's all I'm saying.
I appreciate that
you have prior knowledge,
but you're too close to it.
Ted is lead on Diamond Way.
Let him handle it as he sees fit.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
[scoffs]
You've got more than enough
to do on your own cases.
Stay away from Mercer. Understood?
Yeah. You got it.
Here is fine.
Put it there next to the others.
We're going to need more heatsinks
and surge protection.
- Satellite transmitter for the video jam.
- Write it down.
And, uh, maybe a PlayStation
for for down time.
Write it down.
Cool.
[woman] Which is what we mean
by addiction transfer.
Swapping out one addiction for another.
We might overcome drugs or alcohol,
but it just gets replaced
by sex or gambling.
If we haven't done the work,
if we are still blaming someone else,
it's easy to fall back into old patterns.
Okay, let's end
with the third step prayer.
- [all] Take my will and my life.
- And my life.
Guide me to recovery
and show me how to live.
Thanks, everyone. See you next time.
[imperceptible]
Good job today.
[imperceptible]
Did your son come in yet?
Week after next.
Already have a sofa made up.
[both chuckle]
He's so excited, and me too.
Is it strange
that I'm also kind of nervous?
Oh, he'll be happy
just to spend time with you.
I know.
I just worry
I'm going to screw it up somehow.
Isn't there a point in recovery
when I'm supposed to trust myself?
It's hard to trust the person you are
when you're still attached
to who you were.
Take a chance on yourself,
because I'll bet
you're more right than you know.
[Leo] We can't get the blueprints
for the vault at SLS.
Thanks to RJ here, what we can do
is explore the plumbing, ventilation
and electric systems
of the surrounding area.
- Yeah.
- No, guys, come on. It it was nothing.
Oh, uh, short applause. Okay.
I mean, it wasn't nothing.
[Leo] All right, on to the water systems.
Whatever they're using to move water
is isolated from primary plumbing.
[upbeat music playing]
But the wastewater is connected
to the sewer line and that we can track.
I wanna tell you ♪
About a beautiful day ♪
Nothing bad, nothing bad ♪
And that's where it's at ♪
[Leo] The ventilation system
is a little tricky.
Less than a foot wide,
so none of us are getting through it,
but it does snake through the SLS offices.
With a smile on your face ♪
Hold that smile ♪
[Leo] The vault
has its own electric supply,
but the surrounding offices
use power from the building.
Oh, sorry, sorry, that was
not intentional touching.
About a beautiful day ♪
[Ava] Sure that's right?
[Stan] It's the insides of the building.
I can see it's the inside
of the building, professor.
We can't get through the air vents.
- [RJ] Or the toilets.
- Or the toilets. Hey. Hell of a point.
[Leo] And where all the systems intersect,
- we see
- The vault.
Perimeter hallway here, door here,
circular shaft
which leads down to a base level,
and these sections represent the safes.
Now we can map distances, locations,
alarms, and security clusters.
What are those spider-looking things?
Some sort of electrical mesh?
There's resistor wiring.
Could they be the temperature sensors?
[RJ] Yeah, those are thermistors
and look at that area over there.
- That's got biometrics written all over.
- [Judy] That's all wiring.
If that's the entrance, I could do
[continues indistinctly]
[in Spanish] You'll make them fat.
[sighs]
Skinny dogs make me sad.
[chuckles]
If you get tired
The day I'm too old to chop some shoulder,
you can put me down.
We've been here a long time.
[Ava sighs]
There are other cities, hmm?
If we wanted to stretch our legs.
I'll stretch mine taking out the dogs.
You can do the onions.
Gracias, Te-Te.
De nada, conejita.
[Teresa in Spanish] Be good, okay?
[barking]
[hissing]
- Hey!
- [in English] Keep your sausages in check!
[in Spanish] Eat shit, jerk.
Son of a bitch, stop fucking around,
you asshole, and fuck off!
[in English] Lovely. You kiss
your husband's corpse with that mouth?
[tense music playing]
[doorbell rings]
Nobody comes to my home, okay?
You want to talk to me,
you do it at the shop.
[in Spanish] Do you get it, moron?
[Bob] Ah-ah-ah-ah.
[in English] I want to discuss my cut.
[Ava] Take it up with Leo.
[Bob] Oh, come on,
we know who pulls the strings.
[camera clicking]
I don't think old shaky hands
is pulling much these days.
Yeah. I'm not sure
if you two are trying to screw us all.
Maybe you're not.
But I'm thinking an extra 10% might
make me feel a little less raw about it.
You know? Keep me and Judy on the team.
Make it worth our while.
I'll tell you what you're worth.
Nothing.
You're a safe cracker with one hand.
You're an appendix.
You exist only to inflame,
and the moment you're taken out,
everyone will feel a whole lot better.
But we need your wife,
and she seems to be attached to you.
So, here is what I'll give you
Ten grand and the number
of a hand specialist.
In return, you will never again
step a single foot on my doorstep,
on my block, in my neighborhood.
[cell phone chimes]
Oh, shit.
[engine starts]
[tires screeching]
[Samuel] So you were
a half hour late. Big deal.
Harsha's lawyer jumped on it.
"Can't show up to a court date on time.
How's she gonna take care of a kid?"
Probably right.
Hey, come on.
Don't beat yourself up over this.
No, they're doing
a fine job of that for me.
My lawyer handled it, though for now.
Just on thin ice.
What are you doing here?
Listening to me rant.
Um
[chuckles] What is this?
It's, uh, an apology plant.
For what?
I just
I wanted to say sorry
for how I handled the Mercer thing.
Oh, no. If anything,
I'm the one that over
I should've used more discretion.
But I was probably, uh, showing off a bit.
[chuckles softly]
For you.
That's not necessary.
You are a solid agent.
That's why everyone wants you
on their team.
I think you're an excellent agent.
Thank you for my apology plant.
[chuckling] Yeah.
Oh, don't worry about that.
I'm gonna,
uh, put it back in storage. I was
[Samuel] You really think
Mercer's part of this?
Okay.
Show me.
Okay.
[upbeat music playing]
- This is outside Ava's brownstone.
- Jesus, Nazan.
That's Bob Goodwin.
He's a safe man with a long rap sheet.
If you look closely, you'll notice
he has an injured right hand.
Yeah, okay. Here is the fun part.
Bob is married to a woman named Judy.
Her father was Dr. James Strauss,
a chem professor.
Took her all around the world
until she was 11.
Pretty clean record
except a couple dings
for unlawful possession of ordnance.
She likes to blow shit up.
So I ran all of Bob's aliases
and I got a hit at a motel in Queens.
They checked in
ten days before Diamond Way
and they haven't checked out.
Usual MO is you fence the goods
and get the hell out of dodge, unless
They're planning something else.
[sighs]
Witnesses give us, what,
six suspects at Diamond Way?
I say these are three of them.
I think Diamond Way was
a funding operation for something bigger.
And all Helman and Ted care about
is delivering a couple heads to SDNY.
I take this to them, they're gonna
shut it down, close the case,
and I'm on the wrong side of this thing.
But on the right side of your career.
You're the one always talking
about rules, about black and white.
Yeah.
Rules are important, they are.
When I grew up, that's all I knew.
Here are the rules, don't break them.
When to eat, when to work, when to pray.
I got good grades, I ran track,
I married the man my parents wanted me to.
Life was clean. Decisions were clean.
After 9/11, I
I wanted to prove
that I wasn't like them, you know?
So I joined the FBI.
But that meant them taking one look at me
and sending me
to all the mosques to root out radicals.
Stores. Homes.
I spent four years ruining a lot of lives.
Tearing down people that look like me
and came from where I came from.
And I tried to reconcile those feelings
and I couldn't,
so then I started using.
I follow rules today
because they keep me clean.
Make it so I could see my son.
Rules are important if there's a reason,
but if the reason is not good,
then sometimes you got to take those rules
and bend them
so the things
that really matter don't break.
[soft music playing]
[bartender] Here you go.
- [door opens]
- [Judy giggling]
Some people are just born
to be robbed, man.
- I don't even feel bad. That was amazing.
- Poor guy.
Hey, babe.
- Uh, could I get a Pilsner? Please?
- [bartender] Yep.
Also got a, uh, Yelp check-in
- for some free jalapeno poppers.
- My God.
I'm elite. So
Look at you two. Thick as thieves.
Fantastic day, man.
- We got a great deal on the truck.
- Mmm-hmm.
Guy owns a chicken farm,
used it to transport poultry.
He wanted 20K, but I know these guys.
They're all softies,
so we tell them we're married.
Yeah, the usual shit.
It wasn't a big deal.
- Must've been some deal.
- [Stan] And get this.
Jude goes, "Hey, Charlie"
That's the names that we were using,
- Charlie and Amanda.
- Yeah, pet names. That's adorable.
She goes, "Don't forget to keep
some money for Indigo's surgery."
Like we had a baby girl.
Or would it be a boy or
Bravo, mate. Bra-fucking-vo!
Could I get a round of shots
for the married couple, please?
Let's get out of here.
What about the wedding night?
Did you pop her cherry?
What? No, man, it wasn't like that.
It was just a
Must've been better than the night
you went to prison though?
She told me all about that.
No, I
One little pity fuck and you fall in love.
- I never said that.
- It was a long time ago
Just like you to fucking take his side.
- Don't talk to her
- Fuck off.
- Bob! What the fuck?
- Huh?
- Eh?
- Could we get some ice, please?
- Oh, now we're cookin'!
- Come on! Try it again!
Yeah! Now we're cookin'!
[laughing]
What you got? What you got?
Nothing!
I'm sorry.
[winces, sighs]
The stitches ripped. Fuck.
[Judy] Stan!
Stan!
Stan, wait. Okay. I'm sorry. Just
He just
He just says shit to get under your skin.
The night you went in, I
It's not true. It wasn't
You need to deal with that shit.
- I know he's an asshole
- I'm not talking about Bob.
I'm talking about what's inside you
that makes you want to be with him.
[Bob] Baby, come on. Hey, come back here.
Come on, listen to me.
Hey! Hey! Judy!
What, Bob, you want to hit me?
Fuckin' do it! Show me
what a big fucking man you are!
[Bob] Listen, just please. Hey.
Look. Look.
Now I wanted to give you this
in a a better way, but, um
It's a butterfly.
Yeah, I I can see that.
What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
[shutter clicking]
Okay. Okay.
If I can't crack safes, what good am I?
No. Maybe you You can only use your left.
- It's not the end of the world.
- It's the one thing I know how to do.
No, just
[rock music playing]
[both grunting]
[Samuel] This guy comes back
as Stan Loomis.
Owns a deli called Ham The Man
out in Ridgewood.
It's a legit place, but he's a smuggler
with a bit of a record.
Did three years on a drug charge
at the Washington Correctional,
but since then he's been pretty clean.
We can pull the logs of everyone
who visited Loomis at the WCF.
Yeah, good call.
[keyboard clacking]
All right, let's see.
His mom, his mom. His mom.
Ah, here it is. Judy Strauss.
Whoa, whoa, hey. Bob Goodwin.
And just once.
Wait. Washington.
- When did you say Loomis got out?
- About six years ago.
[Nazan] Want to know who else was a guest
at Washington Correctional back then?
- [Samuel] And that would be?
- Ray Vernon.
Ava Mercer's client. And
[keyboard clacking]
[chuckles]
Stan Loomis' cellmate.
I was wrong about Mercer.
She's not involved?
Oh, she's involved.
She's just not the ringleader.
She's a spoke on the wheel.
But Ray Vernon's dead.
Except we always suspected
he had a partner.
No one recovered the jewels
he pulled from the last job.
Maybe whoever he was working with
is still out there running things.
We need to find a way inside this team.
Okay. Let's take it to Ted. Get more eyes.
No, no, no. We keep on Mercer,
find a chink in her armor.
- [scoffs] Who says she's got one?
- Oh, everybody has a weak spot.
[chuckles]
Okay.
I'm, um
never gonna say no to you.
You get that, right?
[chuckles]
It's It's not that I don't
want to, it's just there's
There's things we can't do.
Sometimes you got to bend a few rules.
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
Okay. Uh
Let's, um
Let's get to work.
Did you get it? Did you get it?
Oh, whoo!
Good news.
We found a replica of the safes
they use in the vault.
Shit, yeah, let me at it.
Bad news.
They got to be spun simultaneously.
Maybe I can get the, um, oxy-petrol
or a plasma torch.
It's high carbon. It'll take hours.
I'll leave you to it then.
Wasn't Stan with you?
[cell phone vibrates]
Yeah.
Yeah, all right.
[Ava over headphones] Hey,
something's come up. We have to meet.
Midnight. Don't be late. Okay.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hey.
- [Samuel] Hey.
I got a convo on the parabolic.
Mercer's meeting a contact in Bushwick.
Bogart and Johnson.
What's she doing there?
Nothing but slaughterhouses
and art galleries.
Buying chickens and mosaics.
I don't know.
[chuckles] It's set for midnight.
All right, well,
let's, uh, grab dinner and post up.
I gotta be in the Bronx
for this emergency thing for Ted.
This is an emergency.
Yeah, but I can't
tell Ted about it, can I?
Look, I would.
Fine, text me the info.
I'll take it alone.
Wait, Nazan, wait.
What if it's a trap?
Then it'll be a shame
you won't be there to save me.

I'm surprised you never

She's been asking for her conejita.
Little rabbit?
When I was a child,

She a relative?
She was my nanny.
She helped me escape and watched over me.

She'll run rings around you.

that you and Mercer have a history.

There's nothing to be helpful on.
Odds are it's some mix-up.

[RJ] You want an armored car?
I want a duplicate of an armored car.
An exact replica that will get us through
the security gate at the SLS vault.
If we fake our way in, we may
be able to get into the loading dock
without setting off alarms.
Then you have to start
with the cab configuration.
I bet those trucks are 132s,
but the suspension's, like, crazy tight
and if we got a heavy load in the back,
we'll be tailing all over the place.
Just no bueno.
Hold up.
There's this bassist from Fairlawn,
his dad had a 2003 Chevy C4500
that's a dead twin.
Get one of those,
I could extend the cab, tweak it up.
Hold up.
I have his number in here somewhere.
Stan, you source that?
Stan!
Stan! Can you get us that truck?
2003 Chevy. Tweak. I'm on it.
Okay, so he didn't
technically graduate with us,

over two inches thick,
we're going to need some heat.
Hey, I got a guy in the Iron Triangle
who can get us a practice safe,
and I thought maybe you and I
could go up there together.
Who's in the mood for Sizzler? Huh?
Don't worry, Uncle Bob's buying.
- [Leo] How much?
- [Ava] Four hundred. More than fair.
Mamacita was ready to settle for three,
but I pumped the bloke a little.
What would we ever do without you?
Who eats spaghetti with chopsticks?
Like, a billion people.
Remember what it took to get this.
It's not an open bank.
Truck. Tech. Safes.
Explosives and chemicals.
This should cover all we need
to get into the vault at SLS.
I expect you to come in
on time and on budget.
How come she gets so much?
This is New York, querido.
It's all about real estate.

Oh, of course.
Every business has its individual needs.

what exactly is end-user optimization?
We'll take it.
First and last month in cash?
I'll get started on the paperwork.
[Ava] Mmm.

In ways that I trusted,
I could see, or appreciated.

and she knows where he is.
She's lying. There

[cell phone vibrating]
[in English] Hey, uh,
you should not be in here. Ted will flip.

who really knows her.
Quiet as a mouse.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Special Agent Gough.
We spoke on the phone.
Are you comfortable
with this interview being recorded?
Am I under arrest?
[Ted] Of course not.
Just some questions.
[Ava] Then tape whatever you like.
Family is Spanish, but you came over
from Argentina as a refugee?
Mmm-hmm. Many years ago.
I'm a citizen now.
This was during the Dirty War?
Well, they called it that.
We called it genocide.
No guardian, no sponsor,
your parents gone.
On your own as a child,
no living relatives,
alone in a strange country,
and yet here you are.
Here I am?
A woman with power,
with connections, with money.
You've come a long way.
And yet I can still be
called into the FBI for no reason.
- I wouldn't say there's no reason.
- Then perhaps you get to it.
Do you enjoy
being an attorney, Miss Mercer?
Uh, let's say that I enjoy
doing things I'm good at.
[Ted] You work
for a lot of questionable people.
I could say the same for you.
Diamond District, you saw the news.
It's been hard to miss. Yeah.
We found a shell casing at the scene
with a fingerprint on it.
When we ran it through our databases,
we got an odd match. You.
I'm wondering how you'd explain that.
I can't say I'm surprised.
About a month ago I reported
two of my guns as stolen to the police.
I own a number of guns
as is my Second Amendment right
as a US citizen.
And like any other responsible gun owner,
I load my own weapons.
So, um, that would explain
my print on the casing.
It's terribly upsetting to think
any of them were used in a criminal act.
You'll excuse me
while I confirm this with the NYPD.
[Ava] It was Abbasi. I'm sure of it.
[sighs] That's not good.
You've gotten heat from her before.
[heavy metal playing on headphones]
[sighs]
We got to take precautions.
Double back for follows.
Nobody can know about this place.
I'll get some burners just in case.
What is your gut telling you?
Do we have a real problem?
No.
No?
No, we're good.
- There is a bigger picture here.
- Here we go again.
He does not understand
what could be at stake.
Did she tell you why she wants to do this?
Ted.
No doubt Agent Abbasi
has experience in this matter,
but due to her prior issues
with Miss Mercer,
I decided it was in the Bureau's
best interest to keep her at arm's length.
Seven years ago, Ava Mercer
lodged a formal complaint against me.
She claimed that I appeared to be
under the influence during an interview
in which she provided info
about a client she believed was in danger.
She claimed that, uh, my failure
to take that information seriously
contributed to her client's death.
And this was during the period when you
Yes, ma'am. I was using at the time.
I am aware that I was unable
to make proper judgments
about the situation.
Her complaint led,
in part, to my suspension.
I see the complication.
This is not about retribution.
I know how her mind works.
- She has an alibi.
- She manipulates.
- Her information checks out.
- I can consult. That's all I'm saying.
I appreciate that
you have prior knowledge,
but you're too close to it.
Ted is lead on Diamond Way.
Let him handle it as he sees fit.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
[scoffs]
You've got more than enough
to do on your own cases.
Stay away from Mercer. Understood?
Yeah. You got it.
Here is fine.
Put it there next to the others.
We're going to need more heatsinks
and surge protection.
- Satellite transmitter for the video jam.
- Write it down.
And, uh, maybe a PlayStation
for for down time.
Write it down.
Cool.
[woman] Which is what we mean
by addiction transfer.
Swapping out one addiction for another.
We might overcome drugs or alcohol,
but it just gets replaced
by sex or gambling.
If we haven't done the work,
if we are still blaming someone else,
it's easy to fall back into old patterns.
Okay, let's end
with the third step prayer.
- [all] Take my will and my life.
- And my life.
Guide me to recovery
and show me how to live.
Thanks, everyone. See you next time.
[imperceptible]
Good job today.
[imperceptible]
Did your son come in yet?
Week after next.
Already have a sofa made up.
[both chuckle]
He's so excited, and me too.
Is it strange
that I'm also kind of nervous?
Oh, he'll be happy
just to spend time with you.
I know.
I just worry
I'm going to screw it up somehow.
Isn't there a point in recovery
when I'm supposed to trust myself?
It's hard to trust the person you are
when you're still attached
to who you were.
Take a chance on yourself,
because I'll bet
you're more right than you know.
[Leo] We can't get the blueprints
for the vault at SLS.
Thanks to RJ here, what we can do
is explore the plumbing, ventilation
and electric systems
of the surrounding area.
- Yeah.
- No, guys, come on. It it was nothing.
Oh, uh, short applause. Okay.
I mean, it wasn't nothing.
[Leo] All right, on to the water systems.
Whatever they're using to move water
is isolated from primary plumbing.
[upbeat music playing]
But the wastewater is connected
to the sewer line and that we can track.
I wanna tell you ♪
About a beautiful day ♪
Nothing bad, nothing bad ♪
And that's where it's at ♪
[Leo] The ventilation system
is a little tricky.
Less than a foot wide,
so none of us are getting through it,
but it does snake through the SLS offices.
With a smile on your face ♪
Hold that smile ♪
[Leo] The vault
has its own electric supply,
but the surrounding offices
use power from the building.
Oh, sorry, sorry, that was
not intentional touching.

[Ava] Sure that's right?
[Stan] It's the insides of the building.
I can see it's the inside
of the building, professor.
We can't get through the air vents.
- [RJ] Or the toilets.
- Or the toilets. Hey. Hell of a point.
[Leo] And where all the systems intersect,
- we see
- The vault.
Perimeter hallway here, door here,
circular shaft
which leads down to a base level,
and these sections represent the safes.
Now we can map distances, locations,
alarms, and security clusters.
What are those spider-looking things?
Some sort of electrical mesh?
There's resistor wiring.
Could they be the temperature sensors?
[RJ] Yeah, those are thermistors
and look at that area over there.
- That's got biometrics written all over.
- [Judy] That's all wiring.

I don't think old shaky hands
is pulling much these days.
Yeah. I'm not sure
if you two are trying to screw us all.
Maybe you're not.
But I'm thinking an extra 10% might
make me feel a little less raw about it.
You know? Keep me and Judy on the team.
Make it worth our while.
I'll tell you what you're worth.
Nothing.
You're a safe cracker with one hand.
You're an appendix.
You exist only to inflame,
and the moment you're taken out,
everyone will feel a whole lot better.
But we need your wife,
and she seems to be attached to you.
So, here is what I'll give you
Ten grand and the number
of a hand specialist.
In return, you will never again
step a single foot on my doorstep,
on my block, in my neighborhood.

[Samuel] So you were
a half hour late. Big deal.
Harsha's lawyer jumped on it.
"Can't show up to a court date on time.
How's she gonna take care of a kid?"
Probably right.
Hey, come on.
Don't beat yourself up over this.
No, they're doing
a fine job of that for me.
My lawyer handled it, though for now.
Just on thin ice.
What are you doing here?
Listening to me rant.
Um
[chuckles] What is this?
It's, uh, an apology plant.
For what?
I just
I wanted to say sorry
for how I handled the Mercer thing.
Oh, no. If anything,
I'm the one that over
I should've used more discretion.
But I was probably, uh, showing off a bit.
[chuckles softly]
For you.
That's not necessary.
You are a solid agent.
That's why everyone wants you
on their team.
I think you're an excellent agent.
Thank you for my apology plant.
[chuckling] Yeah.
Oh, don't worry about that.
I'm gonna,
uh, put it back in storage. I was

Mercer's part of this?
Okay.
Show me.
Okay.

- This is outside Ava's brownstone.
- Jesus, Nazan.
That's Bob Goodwin.
He's a safe man with a long rap sheet.
If you look closely, you'll notice
he has an injured right hand.
Yeah, okay. Here is the fun part.
Bob is married to a woman named Judy.
Her father was Dr. James Strauss,
a chem professor.
Took her all around the world
until she was 11.
Pretty clean record
except a couple dings
for unlawful possession of ordnance.
She likes to blow shit up.
So I ran all of Bob's aliases
and I got a hit at a motel in Queens.
They checked in
ten days before Diamond Way
and they haven't checked out.
Usual MO is you fence the goods
and get the hell out of dodge, unless
They're planning something else.
[sighs]
Witnesses give us, what,
six suspects at Diamond Way?
I say these are three of them.
I think Diamond Way was
a funding operation for something bigger.
And all Helman and Ted care about
is delivering a couple heads to SDNY.
I take this to them, they're gonna
shut it down, close the case,
and I'm on the wrong side of this thing.
But on the right side of your career.
You're the one always talking
about rules, about black and white.
Yeah.
Rules are important, they are.
When I grew up, that's all I knew.
Here are the rules, don't break them.
When to eat, when to work, when to pray.
I got good grades, I ran track,
I married the man my parents wanted me to.
Life was clean. Decisions were clean.
After 9/11, I
I wanted to prove
that I wasn't like them, you know?
So I joined the FBI.
But that meant them taking one look at me
and sending me
to all the mosques to root out radicals.
Stores. Homes.
I spent four years ruining a lot of lives.
Tearing down people that look like me
and came from where I came from.
And I tried to reconcile those feelings
and I couldn't,
so then I started using.
I follow rules today
because they keep me clean.
Make it so I could see my son.
Rules are important if there's a reason,
but if the reason is not good,
then sometimes you got to take those rules
and bend them
so the things
that really matter don't break.
[soft music playing]
[bartender] Here you go.
- [door opens]
- [Judy giggling]
Some people are just born
to be robbed, man.
- I don't even feel bad. That was amazing.
- Poor guy.
Hey, babe.
- Uh, could I get a Pilsner? Please?
- [bartender] Yep.
Also got a, uh, Yelp check-in
- for some free jalapeno poppers.
- My God.
I'm elite. So
Look at you two. Thick as thieves.
Fantastic day, man.
- We got a great deal on the truck.
- Mmm-hmm.
Guy owns a chicken farm,
used it to transport poultry.
He wanted 20K, but I know these guys.
They're all softies,
so we tell them we're married.
Yeah, the usual shit.
It wasn't a big deal.
- Must've been some deal.
- [Stan] And get this.
Jude goes, "Hey, Charlie"
That's the names that we were using,
- Charlie and Amanda.
- Yeah, pet names. That's adorable.
She goes, "Don't forget to keep
some money for Indigo's surgery."
Like we had a baby girl.
Or would it be a boy or
Bravo, mate. Bra-fucking-vo!
Could I get a round of shots
for the married couple, please?
Let's get out of here.
What about the wedding night?
Did you pop her cherry?
What? No, man, it wasn't like that.
It was just a
Must've been better than the night
you went to prison though?
She told me all about that.
No, I
One little pity fuck and you fall in love.
- I never said that.
- It was a long time ago
Just like you to fucking take his side.
- Don't talk to her
- Fuck off.
- Bob! What the fuck?
- Huh?
- Eh?
- Could we get some ice, please?
- Oh, now we're cookin'!
- Come on! Try it again!
Yeah! Now we're cookin'!
[laughing]
What you got? What you got?
Nothing!
I'm sorry.
[winces, sighs]
The stitches ripped. Fuck.
[Judy] Stan!
Stan!
Stan, wait. Okay. I'm sorry. Just
He just
He just says shit to get under your skin.
The night you went in, I
It's not true. It wasn't
You need to deal with that shit.
- I know he's an asshole
- I'm not talking about Bob.
I'm talking about what's inside you
that makes you want to be with him.
[Bob] Baby, come on. Hey, come back here.
Come on, listen to me.
Hey! Hey! Judy!
What, Bob, you want to hit me?
Fuckin' do it! Show me
what a big fucking man you are!
[Bob] Listen, just please. Hey.
Look. Look.
Now I wanted to give you this
in a a better way, but, um
It's a butterfly.
Yeah, I I can see that.
What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
[shutter clicking]
Okay. Okay.
If I can't crack safes, what good am I?
No. Maybe you You can only use your left.
- It's not the end of the world.
- It's the one thing I know how to do.
No, just
[rock music playing]
[both grunting]
[Samuel] This guy comes back
as Stan Loomis.
Owns a deli called Ham The Man
out in Ridgewood.
It's a legit place, but he's a smuggler
with a bit of a record.
Did three years on a drug charge
at the Washington Correctional,
but since then he's been pretty clean.
We can pull the logs of everyone
who visited Loomis at the WCF.
Yeah, good call.
[keyboard clacking]
All right, let's see.
His mom, his mom. His mom.
Ah, here it is. Judy Strauss.
Whoa, whoa, hey. Bob Goodwin.
And just once.
Wait. Washington.
- When did you say Loomis got out?
- About six years ago.
[Nazan] Want to know who else was a guest
at Washington Correctional back then?
- [Samuel] And that would be?
- Ray Vernon.
Ava Mercer's client. And
[keyboard clacking]
[chuckles]
Stan Loomis' cellmate.
I was wrong about Mercer.
She's not involved?
Oh, she's involved.
She's just not the ringleader.
She's a spoke on the wheel.
But Ray Vernon's dead.
Except we always suspected
he had a partner.
No one recovered the jewels
he pulled from the last job.
Maybe whoever he was working with
is still out there running things.
We need to find a way inside this team.
Okay. Let's take it to Ted. Get more eyes.
No, no, no. We keep on Mercer,
find a chink in her armor.
- [scoffs] Who says she's got one?
- Oh, everybody has a weak spot.
[chuckles]
Okay.
I'm, um
never gonna say no to you.
You get that, right?
[chuckles]
It's It's not that I don't
want to, it's just there's
There's things we can't do.
Sometimes you got to bend a few rules.
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
Okay. Uh
Let's, um
Let's get to work.
Did you get it? Did you get it?
Oh, whoo!
Good news.
We found a replica of the safes
they use in the vault.
Shit, yeah, let me at it.
Bad news.
They got to be spun simultaneously.
Maybe I can get the, um, oxy-petrol
or a plasma torch.
It's high carbon. It'll take hours.
I'll leave you to it then.
Wasn't Stan with you?
[cell phone vibrates]
Yeah.
Yeah, all right.
[Ava over headphones] Hey,
something's come up. We have to meet.
Midnight. Don't be late. Okay.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hey.
- [Samuel] Hey.
I got a convo on the parabolic.
Mercer's meeting a contact in Bushwick.
Bogart and Johnson.
What's she doing there?
Nothing but slaughterhouses
and art galleries.
Buying chickens and mosaics.
I don't know.
[chuckles] It's set for midnight.
All right, well,
let's, uh, grab dinner and post up.
I gotta be in the Bronx
for this emergency thing for Ted.
This is an emergency.
Yeah, but I can't
tell Ted about it, can I?
Look, I would.
Fine, text me the info.
I'll take it alone.
Wait, Nazan, wait.
What if it's a trap?
Then it'll be a shame
you won't be there to save me.

Ma'am, stay still.
Hey, Travis. What's this?
Huh?
You're under arrest.
[Leo] You shouldn't have poked the bear.
[Ava] I didn't poke it. I put it down.
Are you sure about that?
Only a matter of time
before she makes the connection.
What? Do you want to close up shop?
No. Too close now.
We stay careful. We take precautions.
We are already doing that.

So what's the play?
It's me.
No.

No, no, no, they can't.

They can't do that.
They can't They can't take custody.

[in Spanish] Good, easy.
[sirens wailing]
[in Spanish] Hi, Te-Te. I've arrived.
Te-Te?
Teresa?
[breathing heavily]
[cell phone vibrating]
[carnival music playing]
[in English] They took away
custody of my son.
You never had it.
- They took away the possibility.
- Where is she?
[Nazan] For someone
who knows her way around red tape,
I'm surprised you never
got her citizenship squared away.
She's been asking for her conejita.
Little rabbit?
When I was a child,
I was hard to catch.
She a relative?
She was my nanny.
She helped me escape and watched over me.
Think of a woman her age
being sent back to a country
she hasn't seen in 40 years.
All alone, no family.
At least the government's better now.
You think any of them are good?
I think some try.
Which ones?
Spain, where Franco killed my cousins?
Argentina, where Videla
disappeared my parents?
Or the United States
with their agents who kidnap old women
to get what they want?
Hey, I didn't kidnap anyone.
ICE picked her up.
They're just doing their job.
This is your play?
I sleep at night.
How's it working out for your family?
Better than it's working out for Teresa.
Now, I have some friends at ICE.
They owe me a few favors.
Teresa's scheduled for
a deportation hearing on Tuesday
and a flight out of the country
could be as early as next week,
unless I make that call.
What do you want?
I want you to flip.
I don't know anything.
I don't believe that's true.
Even if it is, I could use you as my mole.
I know a few hundred grand in diamonds
was not the end goal for you or your crew.
Crew? What are you talking about?
Bob Goodwin. Stan Loomis. Judy Strauss.
Bet I could crack one of them,
that would leave you out in the cold.
And Teresa
They know I've been compromised.
I'm out. That door is closed.
We both know you got the skills
to burrow your way back in.
