White Collar s01e09 Episode Script
Bad Judgment
2 Found the ring.
It's Peter.
I saw your ring.
What? I know you got Kate.
A lot of us have those rings.
Hello, Kate.
We need to talk about Neal.
Neal stole a piece.
This one is special.
It's a music box.
You have the right to remain silent.
I didn't do this.
I was set up by someone very close to you.
Now, I'm positive it's Fowler.
Fowler? My God, they tapped my phone.
Found this stuck on my home phone.
I'm not done with this investigation.
Neither am I.
Kate.
You can't trust anyone.
Kate.
She wants this music box.
There's something inside it.
It's holding some secret.
I wanna see it.
I'm gonna need some time.
- Good weekend? - Great.
New York won 4-3 in overtime.
How was the Guggenheim? Excellent.
Saw a rumination on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture.
Glad I missed it.
Back at you.
David Sullivan is waiting for you in the conference room.
Perfect.
What's wrong? He's been calling all week about a mortgage-fraud case.
It's a pretty cut-and-dry foreclosure.
I don't know what else we can do.
He brought his little girl.
Aw, jeez.
He's playing the sympathy card.
Is it working? Yep.
Thanks.
Let's go talk to him.
What, you need me for this? You're uncomfortable around the 6-year-old.
I don't speak that language.
I do? Yeah, you do, Peter Pan.
Come on.
Mr.
Sullivan.
And this must be.
Allison.
That's a 515 Form, not a coloring book.
I'm sure the bureau will get by without it.
Encourage that artistic ability.
What's going on, Mr.
Sullivan? The bank forecloses on our home in a week.
Mr.
Sullivan's father recently passed.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He left him his home, and before his death, he took out a second mortgage on it.
He didn't take out a second mortgage.
He would never do that.
Someone cheated us.
I looked at your case, Mr.
Sullivan.
I'm sorry, but things like this happen.
Was your father in debt? He wasn't in debt.
I know him.
Do you? Last three years of his life, he was in an extended-care center.
You only visited four times.
I told you, I looked at your case.
Look my dad was a hard man.
Near the end of his life, he wanted to know his granddaughter.
She got us past our differences.
He wanted to give her a home to grow up in.
That's how I know my father wouldn't take out a second mortgage to play blackjack.
You're our last chance.
That's you.
We'll look into it.
No promises.
It's pretty cut and dry.
Bank has paperwork signed and notarized.
I see why you didn't wanna take this on.
Maybe I'm glad I changed my mind.
Find something? Tried to call the N.
Y.
P.
D.
detective Sullivan spoke to originally.
Yeah? Turns out he's retired.
So? How many detectives you know retire at 35? It's worth looking into.
Think we should ask him for coffee? I never say no to coffee.
Mr.
Herrera, thanks for coming.
I'm Agent Burke.
Who's this? I'm with the FBI.
Um, no.
He's with the FBI.
Fed couldn't afford those cufflinks.
For a retired detective, you don't seem out of practice.
You didn't answer my question.
He's my consultant.
We're investigating the Sullivan case.
Really? Why? Mr.
Sullivan has a daughter, and Peter's a sucker for kids.
You know, you cleared over 90 percent of your cases.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you turn in your resignation? Well, I got tired of the grind.
I swung an early pension.
I don't know if you're recording this conversation.
But I don't have anything to say.
I appreciate the coffee.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Burned your career for this case.
You're gonna walk away? Like I said, I got nothing to say.
Sullivan's a dud.
Let it go.
Thanks for the coffee.
You know what? Let me leave a tip.
Oh, I got it.
I insist.
It's the least I can do.
That was cryptic.
Four dollars and 76 cents.
For three cups of coffee.
Pretty generous for a retired cop's salary.
Very generous and very specific.
Not in America.
Badge number? I don't think so.
For a dud case, Herrera generated a lot of paperwork.
Yeah, he did.
Wait.
What do we got here? What is it? It's an ID number for a federal district judge.
They stamp these on the files for every case you preside over.
"Judge Michelle Clark.
" Do you know her? No.
Herrera said he was leaving a tip.
Yeah.
Maybe Her Honor's not so honorable.
One cop already lost his job over this.
You sure you wanna go down this road? Yeah, I do.
All right.
Hey.
Find anything on Judge Clark? As your legal counsel, I advise you to peruse the following exhibits.
Court orders.
Search warrants.
This is everything Fowler used when he arrested me.
Check out the fine print.
She was Fowler's go-to judge while he was investigating you.
What's her name doing on search warrants? Peter and I are working a mortgage-fraud scam.
Warrants which, if they'd been reviewed by an impartial judge, may have been thrown out.
So Fowler's got a judge in his pocket.
That's handy.
Peter's gonna love this.
Have I taught you nothing? Fowler's got Kate.
If his pet judge is dirty I can use it against him.
You tell the suit, he files a report and Fowler sees you coming.
Secrets are safer.
And when you say, "Fowler's got Kate--" He does.
What does the suit think? Your keeper and I actually agree on something.
What if she's working with Fowler? I need to talk to her.
Then I'll know.
Do you trust your FBI buddy? Yeah, I trust him.
Till I can't.
Vague, in a Zen kind of way.
Look, he met with Kate.
He must know how to get ahold of her.
Do you trust him enough to deliver a message? Her Honor, Judge Clark.
How does this nice face get a detective to take an early pension? She must have a lot of pull.
Clark deals primarily in probate law.
Her last case was-- The Sullivan house.
Look at these.
Nine properties over the past two years taken by various banks.
She presided over all of them.
Hey, hon.
Hey.
How would you like to come home for lunch? I'd like that a lot.
Good.
I'm trying out a new caterer for an upcoming event.
I would love your opinion on the food.
Oh, what's the menu? Well, samplings of pâté, couscous, a lot of fancy stuff.
You know how much I love stuff.
And feel free to bring Neal.
Oh, that's why you're calling.
You wanna borrow him.
I wanna borrow his palate, and yours as well.
My wife's inviting you to lunch.
Good thing is I get to come along too.
Stop playing with the buttons.
I wanna get the map thing.
Blind spot.
Got it.
I need to ask you about Kate.
I told you everything.
You didn't tell me how you contacted her.
I'm a fed.
If I wanna find someone, I do.
Can you get a message to her? I can try.
What do you wanna say? Tell her I'm starting to wonder if the bottle really did mean goodbye.
Hey, honey.
Hey, Elizabeth.
Thanks for the invite.
Huh.
Foie gras.
Yeah, I have a lot of it.
I want you guys to try this one first.
Looks great.
Okay.
I haven't had time to try them, but they look good.
Ugh.
Oh, yeah.
Delicious.
Okay, that's why I wanted to invite Neal.
Why? Because he's a good liar? No, because he appreciates fine cuisine.
Which this is not.
No one could lie that well.
Ooh.
Yeah, that does smell bad.
Thank God you guys tried it first.
Okay, this caterer's off my list.
Who was the other unfortunate guinea pig? No one.
Why are there two coffee cups? Oh, I made coffee for the cable guy.
It went out, so he came by to fix it.
They got someone out here fast.
When did you call them? They called me.
They accidentally cut a power line.
They were fixing the cable, so they sent someone.
It was strange but I asked the neighbors, and their cable went out as well.
Why? What's wrong? The number you have dialed is not in-- So where's the gala your new client's hosting? It's at the Met.
It's next week.
I love the Met.
They have this fantastic Matisse I've always admired.
It's on the second floor, right near the fire exit.
Now? Now I am pissed off.
You suspected something the moment she mentioned the cable guy.
What aren't you telling me? Is it Fowler? I don't wanna talk about it here.
And there could be more inside? I'll take care of it.
You can't go through the normal channels.
OPR has too much reach inside the bureau.
What do you suggest? I know a cleaning guy.
Does a great job on my place.
No way.
Not him.
Honey, we have to put a stop to this.
All right, call your guy.
But I want someone I can trust watching him, in case he-- Whatever he does.
In case he what? He's odd.
In a good way.
Who is this guy? Mrs.
Suit, I take it.
Honey, this is-- The cleaner.
What, are you selling vacuums? I do not take your assumption as an affront but as vindication of my ability to blend in.
So, what are you doing? He's taking care of our bug problem.
Is that a night-vision spotting scope? Oh, $50.
Russian military surplus.
Why do you have it? Oh, the real question is, why don't you? Well, in any case, we really appreciate your help.
Hey, Jones.
Hey.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
All right, listen, that's him.
Make sure Elizabeth is safe.
You got it.
Satch.
Hey, Moz.
Clean.
Thanks, Neal, for walking Satch.
Yeah, anytime.
So you sure he won't try anything? Do you have any rare paintings or coins? No.
Then you'll be okay.
Is this Gorham silverware? It's rather unique.
Maybe you should keep an eye on him.
Yeah.
Oh, a Baccarat vase.
I don't know what case you guys are working on, but wrap it up fast.
Come on, Satch.
See you, buddy.
Think he'll be okay here? Okay, I don't think he bugged the dog.
Amateur.
I don't wanna stick around to find out.
Me either.
Besides, you have some explaining to do.
Fowler was trying to protect his judge for Operation Mentor.
Why didn't you tell me? I was getting to it.
He knows I pulled our detective's file.
He realizes you're on his trail, he comes after you.
Us.
Comes after us.
Maybe we can get to him first through Judge Clark.
This thing Fowler wants from you, the music box better play one catchy tune.
It's worth it.
Why are guys like you interested in antiques with a dangerous history? Because they have a lasting impact.
Look at how they're affecting us.
Unbelievable.
We are about to go after a federal judge.
It's worth it to take down Fowler.
Okay.
We stop the judge from taking the Sullivan home then we get her disrobed.
You know what I meant.
If we lean on her hard enough, she'll flip on Fowler.
You know what I meant.
That's not what I meant.
I got those files you requested on Judge Clark.
Good job, Price.
Get the crew together.
We are gonna pore over everything discover any discrepancies on every deed and foreclosure notice we've got starting with the Sullivan home.
Okay.
What is it? Good to see you again, Agent Burke.
What are you doing here? I'm working on a project in New York.
Operation Mentor? I can't comment on that.
In fact, I would say you're not supposed to know it even exists.
You can pin this one on me.
You like pinning things on me, right? Agent Fowler.
Received your request this morning.
We'll set you up in one of our offices.
You're working out of here? Oh, relax, Burke.
Just borrowing your phones for a little while.
All right, everyone, take five.
We'll re-convene later.
Thanks a lot.
You got something? Maybe.
Sullivan's father, Michael, signed the original mortgage in November of 1962.
This is his signature on the second mortgage he supposedly took out.
"Supposedly"? Yeah.
There is a mild hesitation mark in the loop of the L.
It's a forgery.
You're sure? Forging a signature is all about confidence.
Here.
Sign this.
How'd you do that? Well, your hand is programmed to write letters a certain way.
You try to mimic someone else's, and your own style will creep in.
But turn the signature upside down, and it becomes nothing more than a drawing.
All you have to do is copy the lines.
Your preconceptions about letters go away.
You have a perfect signature.
That's a neat trick.
Don't copy mine again.
Never.
You have copied my signature? Let's focus on the crime at hand.
Hey, guys.
What are you doing? You need something, Fowler? I'm gonna get clearance from the bureau to talk to our judge.
You need clearance? To talk to a federal judge? Yeah.
And you're gonna stay here.
Last time you were in a judge's chamber, you jumped out the window.
Agent Peter Burke is here to see you.
Judge Clark.
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
Please have a seat.
How can I help you? I'm here investigating a foreclosure dispute filed by a Mr.
David Sullivan.
You were the judge overseeing Sullivan's estate.
I'm sorry, I don't seem to recall that case.
Maybe these will refresh your memory.
I thought this case was settled.
It was, by you.
But we found some discrepancies in the signatures.
Discrepancies? Forgeries.
Enough for me to reopen the case.
Good luck, Agent Burke.
Handwriting analysis won't have enough weight to restart the investigation.
You got more than this? I've got you.
Nine suspicious foreclosures, and you're the common denominator.
What sort of salary does an FBI agent make? Excuse me? I'm curious.
An agent of your stature, Why do you ask? It's a shame you don't make enough for what you do, the risks you take.
You deserve double that.
What are you proposing? Nothing.
I'm simply suggesting that you should make a lot more money for the work that you're doing.
Or not doing, for that matter.
I think you deserve a bonus, Agent Burke.
What kind of bonus are we talking? Quarter of a million.
Does that interest you? It might.
Perhaps we should continue this conversation next week somewhere less official.
Perhaps we can.
Good luck on your case.
I hope you don't run into a wall.
We'll be in touch.
Okay.
Hey.
Miss anything good? She offered me a bribe.
Really? How much are you worth? Quarter million.
That's it? Yeah.
If I'd known you were that cheap, I would've bribed you.
No amount of money would've been as satisfying as catching you the first time.
Or the second.
No one likes a bragger.
We have ourselves a dirty judge.
I think we do.
I'll put in a request with Hughes to authorize a sting.
Fowler.
It's me.
What happened? Agent Burke came to see me like you said.
And? I offered him the money.
He say yes? He didn't say no.
Send me the tape.
No.
What? That tape is my get-out-of-jail-free card.
I want the mortgage-fraud files sealed first.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
You want Burke, seal my files.
They won't be processed till tomorrow.
Then that's when you'll get your tape.
Oh.
I got it.
Thank you.
All right.
Whoa.
Old investigation? Uh.
More like Peter's surveillance photos.
I used to work as an assistant manager at an art gallery.
There was a theft, and Peter was the lead investigator.
You were a suspect? I was a witness.
But he wanted to know if I had a boyfriend.
More like add you to the list of corporate, government.
I mean, how charming.
He kept droning on about this Italian restaurant but didn't have the courage to ask me out.
So I-- Well, I gave him a hint.
Misappropriating FBI resources to follow a girl.
It's been known to happen.
The suit is sly.
He's a bit of a bad boy.
Ahem.
What's going on here? Oh, we were just wrapping up for the night.
"We," huh? What are you, a team now? Will you be finishing up soon? Oh, I'll need a few more days.
The downstairs is clear, but the upstairs is still a potential minefield.
So you're telling us that we shouldn't sleep in our own bedroom? Do either of you talk in your sleep? No.
He does.
Jones, drive him home.
Oh, nice try, Suit.
Nice try.
Haversham out.
Don't forget the pâté.
Already packed.
He do anything suspicious? More amusing than anything else.
Thanks, Jones.
Get some rest.
Yeah.
Night.
Good night.
So where are we gonna sleep tonight? Who says you can't camp in New York City? I owe you for this, El.
Well, you can start with dinner.
Saturday night? Italian? It's a date.
Ugh.
It is like Grand Central in here.
Hughes.
Come on in.
Hello, Peter.
Evening, Elizabeth.
Hello, Reese.
- What, you're camping? - Long story.
What's wrong? I need to speak to Peter.
Of course.
Yeah.
Thanks, hon.
I'm not here in an official capacity.
I'm here as your friend.
OPR has launched an investigation into you.
Why? Did you take a bribe from a judge? I spoke with Judge Clark.
Did she offer you money? Yes.
Did you say no? I went to her office, told her about our investigation and she responded with a bribe.
I wanted to play it out, see where it led.
You'd have done the same thing.
Maybe.
OPR's got you on videotape.
Fowler's presenting it tomorrow morning.
I can't protect you, Peter.
This is serious, isn't it? Yeah.
Hughes could lose his job for what he just told me.
This guy, Fowler, he's not gonna stop? No.
I'll fix it.
How? He's got me on tape.
Honey, I.
I've gotta go.
Don't apologize.
Last clue I had led me to Seville, and then nothing.
- Has your Federale contacted Kate? - No, nothing yet.
Or maybe we have something.
No name.
Return address is a P.
O.
Box.
It's a chess move.
Could it be from Kate? She doesn't like chess.
Interesting.
They open with black.
Unusual.
Symbolically making you virtuous white.
Who do you think it is? I don't know.
Elizabeth.
Um, it's Peter.
He needs your help.
What are you doing here? Catching up on work.
You heard about the OPR investigation.
Yeah, well, it might've gotten around.
With all that's going on I figured you could use extra hands.
Thanks, Jones.
Just gonna make a fresh pot.
Let me help you out.
Thanks.
We might wanna put on more than one.
All right.
You want us to break into a judge's office and steal a videotape? Yes.
Do you have a better idea? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to break into federal property? A judge's chambers, no less? You broke out of one.
And if you don't do this, Peter could go to prison.
Yeah.
If I do, I could go back.
You owe him.
All right.
Why don't you get some rest, and we'll handle it? Handle, right.
Like a doorknob.
Thank you.
Thank you both.
Get home safe.
Do you have any idea how we're gonna do this? Okay, Fowler is sending his private courier to pick up the tape at 8 a.
m.
All right.
You got the approach? Don't I always? The courier truck will pull up to the front entrance and check in.
When the driver steps out of the truck, I will stall him.
This one's me.
I figured.
How are you gonna stall him? With my obvious charm, of course.
Do we have a backup? Ha.
I scouted the building.
There's a security-camera blind spot over here.
So while I stall-- I come out of the blind spot dressed as the same courier.
Exactly.
All right.
Any luck getting your hands on a uniform? It's difficult to find a tailor in the dead of night, but I did the best I could.
Is this a park-ranger uniform? Maybe.
With an iron-on? I couldn't find a thimble.
Oh, don't forget this.
Oh, and a BB gun.
Would you prefer a real one? No.
Okay.
Now, you go into the office as the courier and pick up the tape.
Then you use this.
What's the magnet supposed to be? A refrigerator magnet.
But it's actually a high-grade neodymium magnet-- Which will erase the tape.
Yes, thoroughly.
Then you change clothes hand over the newly blanked tape to the actual courier.
No one knows I was there.
And everybody stays out of jail.
You think this will work? All nine of Judge Clark's suspicious The target is a recently deceased elderly person who's lost contact with the family, primarily middle class.
What about the banks and loan officers? Different in every case.
Judge is the only constant.
These cases originally came to her court as standard estate litigation.
She's been in a perfect position to scout out the weaker families.
Since the families are estranged they have to assume that the additional mortgages are legit.
Even if they didn't, they wouldn't have enough money to fight the banks.
Either the family pays, or they lose everything.
The average price tag of a bogus loan is $350,000.
So where does the money go? That's the question.
David Sullivan's foreclosure is still in progress.
So let's follow the money.
Hey.
We're down.
What happened? What? What? Someone just sealed the judge's files.
What now? We go back to the source.
Officer Herrera.
What do you want, Burke? I got close to Clark, and I'm about to lose my job.
You tried to warn me.
I didn't do anything.
If I'm going down, Clark's coming with me.
Look, whoever's giving this judge cover, they won't stop at you.
Understand? They're gonna go after your friends, your family.
That's why it's gotta stop.
I need the evidence that proves she's dirty.
I need to find the money that she got from the Sullivan loan.
I got shut down when I-- When I requested a search warrant for the judge's chambers.
Start there.
It'd be nearly impossible to get into, but a great place to hide it.
I owe you one.
Thanks.
You're Ray, right? Yeah, I'm Ray.
I thought it was you.
I figured you'd have the face of a mouth breather.
Do we have a problem? You're damn right we do, Tiny.
You were supposed to deliver a very sensitive package to me at my house.
Instead, you gave it to my mother.
You know what kind of trouble I'm in because of you? If she sees what's in that package? What was in the package? That's none of your business! Hey.
I'm here to pick up a package from Judge Clark.
Yes.
Just a sec.
She's gonna take everything from me, man.
The free dinners, the free laundry, the free basement.
Is that what you want? No.
You want me penniless in the street without a shirt? You want me shirtless? No.
God, no.
This is to be handed to Agent Fowler personally.
Understood.
Nobody but him can sign for it.
Clear? Thanks.
I'll take care of it.
You got the wrong guy here.
Oh, I do, do I? You're gonna tell me that you are not Ray Collins? No.
See, I'm Ray Hofmeister.
Oh, man.
Hmm.
I'm so sorry.
Wrong Ray.
I'm sure this happens to you all the time.
Actually, no.
Well, if you see Collins, you tell him I'm coming after him, okay? Yeah, sure.
Hey.
About time you got here.
Almost had to deliver this thing myself.
Make sure Agent Fowler receives this personally.
I will.
Just sign right here, please.
Give me that.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Peter.
I spoke with Herrera.
He thinks the judge keeps the cash evidence in her chambers.
You know where exactly? Not yet.
Meet me in the office.
I'll take care of it, judge.
On my way.
Court's adjourned.
Clark should be back any minute now.
Did you find anything in her chambers? No.
I made it look like someone tried to.
You good to go? Yep.
- She doesn't seem happy.
- What are they saying? "Someone's been here.
" "What did they take?" "I don't know.
It-- It doesn't seem like they took anything.
The safe hasn't been touched.
" There's a safe in there, and you didn't--? I didn't have time.
Stay focused.
"We're compromised.
I need to move everything.
Today-- Today's no good.
Tomorrow's clear.
Tomorrow cartoon.
" "At noon.
" Sometimes it clicks.
I don't know why.
I modified it mys-- Focus.
"Get me a deposit box at Certified National immediately.
" And they're gone.
You gonna tell the suit? Soon as he's out of his meeting.
Fowler requested a tap on your phone.
Garrett.
So, what exactly do you wanna show me? I'll let the evidence speak for itself.
Is there anything recorded on this? They must've sent the wrong tape.
Until you have the right one, stop wasting my time.
I don't suppose you had anything to do with Fowler's blank tape? Blank tape? Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, but you should thank your wife.
Okay.
That bought us some more time.
We need to make sure the money is in the judge's chamber.
It is.
And get her to move it.
She will, tomorrow at noon.
I got the name of the bank where she's dumping it.
We can take her down there.
Your information on the money wasn't obtained legally, was it? We need probable cause for search and seizure on whatever is on her person.
You can't arrest her with a briefcase full of money? That's right.
I can't.
But maybe someone else can.
How do we let Fowler know the judge is moving the money? He's tapping my phone.
Agent Burke's making a call.
If it's his wife, I'm not interested.
It's Caffrey.
Should we talk about this on the phone? This is my cell.
We're fine.
Listen, Judge Clark says if I don't pay her soon, she'll send the real tape to Fowler.
- What are you gonna do? - Get the money together.
She wants it by noon today, or no deal.
I'll need your help with the drop.
Okay.
Where is it? Certified National at 51st and 2nd.
Okay.
I'll be there.
I'm sorry about this, Peter.
Why are you sorry? Well, we both know why this is happening.
The music bo-- We got everything we need.
Let's mobilize the team.
I'm first on scene.
We take down Burke.
You got that? By the way, it's a quarter to 12.
Then I better get there.
Give me the tape.
What are you talking about? You think you can double-cross me? I know what you have in here.
I didn't double-cross you.
It-- This is a setup.
What's going on, Fowler? Don't say a word.
Let me handle this.
What the hell do you think you're doing? Assisting you.
You're about to close a high-profile case.
You're arresting Judge Clark on mortgage fraud.
Cash in hand.
Unfortunately, this means no more pet judge.
No more rubber stamps on your warrants.
You have no authorization for this.
Of course I have.
You gave it to me.
This is your signature, isn't it? Because if it is, you're a hero.
But if not, well, I'm not sure how to explain what you're doing here.
Judge Clark, you're under arrest.
What? You have the right to remain silent.
I highly recommend you exercise that right.
This is a big win, Garrett.
Great work.
Yeah.
Great work.
How's the interrogation going? Looked mad in there.
Was that Good Cop, Bad Cop? You need a good cop for that.
She's plea-bargaining out.
Confessing to mortgage fraud.
Just mortgage fraud? I wonder who helped her arrange that deal.
Doesn't matter.
She gave up her sources at the bank.
Even the clerk that was helping her launder the money.
She's gonna get a reduced sentence.
She's taking advantage of the system.
I hate when people do that.
Now that I work for the system, of course.
I appreciate your cooperation on this one, Peter.
Next time I'm in from D.
C.
, I'll give you a call.
It'll take time to sort out all the paperwork but no one's taking this from you now.
This is where she'll come home from her first day of school.
Maybe her first date.
Your dad would be happy.
Yeah, he would.
Thank you.
Color on this.
So the rest of the house is clear? Yes.
But your wiring belongs in a museum.
You're living in a firetrap.
The future is in copper wiring.
I know a guy-- You've done more than enough.
Thank you.
Moz, I'll walk you out.
Oh, thanks, El.
"El"? "Moz"? He trusts her.
Guess they were okay here.
Mixed victory.
Lot of those lately.
You should be happy.
Caught a dirty judge.
Got rid of Fowler.
He won't stay away as long as I have the music box.
As long as he thinks you have it.
Okay, I don't have it.
Oh, look at that.
Telling the truth.
Did it hurt? Little bit.
Your turn.
You hear back from Kate? I did.
"See Robert.
" That make any sense? Yeah.
Robert's her father.
Wanna talk to him? Won't be easy.
He's dead.
Kind of macabre for a meeting place.
Yeah.
It sends a certain message.
Yeah.
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
" I called him.
Consider this your Kate intervention.
It's time to think about giving up the chase.
No, thanks.
There it is.
Robert Moreau.
Kate's father.
Yeah.
Flowers are a few days old.
Yeah.
She's been here.
Anything? No.
Maybe you guys were right.
Abandon all hope.
Does that flower mean what I think it means? Yeah, I think it does.
It's Peter.
I saw your ring.
What? I know you got Kate.
A lot of us have those rings.
Hello, Kate.
We need to talk about Neal.
Neal stole a piece.
This one is special.
It's a music box.
You have the right to remain silent.
I didn't do this.
I was set up by someone very close to you.
Now, I'm positive it's Fowler.
Fowler? My God, they tapped my phone.
Found this stuck on my home phone.
I'm not done with this investigation.
Neither am I.
Kate.
You can't trust anyone.
Kate.
She wants this music box.
There's something inside it.
It's holding some secret.
I wanna see it.
I'm gonna need some time.
- Good weekend? - Great.
New York won 4-3 in overtime.
How was the Guggenheim? Excellent.
Saw a rumination on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture.
Glad I missed it.
Back at you.
David Sullivan is waiting for you in the conference room.
Perfect.
What's wrong? He's been calling all week about a mortgage-fraud case.
It's a pretty cut-and-dry foreclosure.
I don't know what else we can do.
He brought his little girl.
Aw, jeez.
He's playing the sympathy card.
Is it working? Yep.
Thanks.
Let's go talk to him.
What, you need me for this? You're uncomfortable around the 6-year-old.
I don't speak that language.
I do? Yeah, you do, Peter Pan.
Come on.
Mr.
Sullivan.
And this must be.
Allison.
That's a 515 Form, not a coloring book.
I'm sure the bureau will get by without it.
Encourage that artistic ability.
What's going on, Mr.
Sullivan? The bank forecloses on our home in a week.
Mr.
Sullivan's father recently passed.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He left him his home, and before his death, he took out a second mortgage on it.
He didn't take out a second mortgage.
He would never do that.
Someone cheated us.
I looked at your case, Mr.
Sullivan.
I'm sorry, but things like this happen.
Was your father in debt? He wasn't in debt.
I know him.
Do you? Last three years of his life, he was in an extended-care center.
You only visited four times.
I told you, I looked at your case.
Look my dad was a hard man.
Near the end of his life, he wanted to know his granddaughter.
She got us past our differences.
He wanted to give her a home to grow up in.
That's how I know my father wouldn't take out a second mortgage to play blackjack.
You're our last chance.
That's you.
We'll look into it.
No promises.
It's pretty cut and dry.
Bank has paperwork signed and notarized.
I see why you didn't wanna take this on.
Maybe I'm glad I changed my mind.
Find something? Tried to call the N.
Y.
P.
D.
detective Sullivan spoke to originally.
Yeah? Turns out he's retired.
So? How many detectives you know retire at 35? It's worth looking into.
Think we should ask him for coffee? I never say no to coffee.
Mr.
Herrera, thanks for coming.
I'm Agent Burke.
Who's this? I'm with the FBI.
Um, no.
He's with the FBI.
Fed couldn't afford those cufflinks.
For a retired detective, you don't seem out of practice.
You didn't answer my question.
He's my consultant.
We're investigating the Sullivan case.
Really? Why? Mr.
Sullivan has a daughter, and Peter's a sucker for kids.
You know, you cleared over 90 percent of your cases.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you turn in your resignation? Well, I got tired of the grind.
I swung an early pension.
I don't know if you're recording this conversation.
But I don't have anything to say.
I appreciate the coffee.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Burned your career for this case.
You're gonna walk away? Like I said, I got nothing to say.
Sullivan's a dud.
Let it go.
Thanks for the coffee.
You know what? Let me leave a tip.
Oh, I got it.
I insist.
It's the least I can do.
That was cryptic.
Four dollars and 76 cents.
For three cups of coffee.
Pretty generous for a retired cop's salary.
Very generous and very specific.
Not in America.
Badge number? I don't think so.
For a dud case, Herrera generated a lot of paperwork.
Yeah, he did.
Wait.
What do we got here? What is it? It's an ID number for a federal district judge.
They stamp these on the files for every case you preside over.
"Judge Michelle Clark.
" Do you know her? No.
Herrera said he was leaving a tip.
Yeah.
Maybe Her Honor's not so honorable.
One cop already lost his job over this.
You sure you wanna go down this road? Yeah, I do.
All right.
Hey.
Find anything on Judge Clark? As your legal counsel, I advise you to peruse the following exhibits.
Court orders.
Search warrants.
This is everything Fowler used when he arrested me.
Check out the fine print.
She was Fowler's go-to judge while he was investigating you.
What's her name doing on search warrants? Peter and I are working a mortgage-fraud scam.
Warrants which, if they'd been reviewed by an impartial judge, may have been thrown out.
So Fowler's got a judge in his pocket.
That's handy.
Peter's gonna love this.
Have I taught you nothing? Fowler's got Kate.
If his pet judge is dirty I can use it against him.
You tell the suit, he files a report and Fowler sees you coming.
Secrets are safer.
And when you say, "Fowler's got Kate--" He does.
What does the suit think? Your keeper and I actually agree on something.
What if she's working with Fowler? I need to talk to her.
Then I'll know.
Do you trust your FBI buddy? Yeah, I trust him.
Till I can't.
Vague, in a Zen kind of way.
Look, he met with Kate.
He must know how to get ahold of her.
Do you trust him enough to deliver a message? Her Honor, Judge Clark.
How does this nice face get a detective to take an early pension? She must have a lot of pull.
Clark deals primarily in probate law.
Her last case was-- The Sullivan house.
Look at these.
Nine properties over the past two years taken by various banks.
She presided over all of them.
Hey, hon.
Hey.
How would you like to come home for lunch? I'd like that a lot.
Good.
I'm trying out a new caterer for an upcoming event.
I would love your opinion on the food.
Oh, what's the menu? Well, samplings of pâté, couscous, a lot of fancy stuff.
You know how much I love stuff.
And feel free to bring Neal.
Oh, that's why you're calling.
You wanna borrow him.
I wanna borrow his palate, and yours as well.
My wife's inviting you to lunch.
Good thing is I get to come along too.
Stop playing with the buttons.
I wanna get the map thing.
Blind spot.
Got it.
I need to ask you about Kate.
I told you everything.
You didn't tell me how you contacted her.
I'm a fed.
If I wanna find someone, I do.
Can you get a message to her? I can try.
What do you wanna say? Tell her I'm starting to wonder if the bottle really did mean goodbye.
Hey, honey.
Hey, Elizabeth.
Thanks for the invite.
Huh.
Foie gras.
Yeah, I have a lot of it.
I want you guys to try this one first.
Looks great.
Okay.
I haven't had time to try them, but they look good.
Ugh.
Oh, yeah.
Delicious.
Okay, that's why I wanted to invite Neal.
Why? Because he's a good liar? No, because he appreciates fine cuisine.
Which this is not.
No one could lie that well.
Ooh.
Yeah, that does smell bad.
Thank God you guys tried it first.
Okay, this caterer's off my list.
Who was the other unfortunate guinea pig? No one.
Why are there two coffee cups? Oh, I made coffee for the cable guy.
It went out, so he came by to fix it.
They got someone out here fast.
When did you call them? They called me.
They accidentally cut a power line.
They were fixing the cable, so they sent someone.
It was strange but I asked the neighbors, and their cable went out as well.
Why? What's wrong? The number you have dialed is not in-- So where's the gala your new client's hosting? It's at the Met.
It's next week.
I love the Met.
They have this fantastic Matisse I've always admired.
It's on the second floor, right near the fire exit.
Now? Now I am pissed off.
You suspected something the moment she mentioned the cable guy.
What aren't you telling me? Is it Fowler? I don't wanna talk about it here.
And there could be more inside? I'll take care of it.
You can't go through the normal channels.
OPR has too much reach inside the bureau.
What do you suggest? I know a cleaning guy.
Does a great job on my place.
No way.
Not him.
Honey, we have to put a stop to this.
All right, call your guy.
But I want someone I can trust watching him, in case he-- Whatever he does.
In case he what? He's odd.
In a good way.
Who is this guy? Mrs.
Suit, I take it.
Honey, this is-- The cleaner.
What, are you selling vacuums? I do not take your assumption as an affront but as vindication of my ability to blend in.
So, what are you doing? He's taking care of our bug problem.
Is that a night-vision spotting scope? Oh, $50.
Russian military surplus.
Why do you have it? Oh, the real question is, why don't you? Well, in any case, we really appreciate your help.
Hey, Jones.
Hey.
Thanks for coming.
Yeah.
All right, listen, that's him.
Make sure Elizabeth is safe.
You got it.
Satch.
Hey, Moz.
Clean.
Thanks, Neal, for walking Satch.
Yeah, anytime.
So you sure he won't try anything? Do you have any rare paintings or coins? No.
Then you'll be okay.
Is this Gorham silverware? It's rather unique.
Maybe you should keep an eye on him.
Yeah.
Oh, a Baccarat vase.
I don't know what case you guys are working on, but wrap it up fast.
Come on, Satch.
See you, buddy.
Think he'll be okay here? Okay, I don't think he bugged the dog.
Amateur.
I don't wanna stick around to find out.
Me either.
Besides, you have some explaining to do.
Fowler was trying to protect his judge for Operation Mentor.
Why didn't you tell me? I was getting to it.
He knows I pulled our detective's file.
He realizes you're on his trail, he comes after you.
Us.
Comes after us.
Maybe we can get to him first through Judge Clark.
This thing Fowler wants from you, the music box better play one catchy tune.
It's worth it.
Why are guys like you interested in antiques with a dangerous history? Because they have a lasting impact.
Look at how they're affecting us.
Unbelievable.
We are about to go after a federal judge.
It's worth it to take down Fowler.
Okay.
We stop the judge from taking the Sullivan home then we get her disrobed.
You know what I meant.
If we lean on her hard enough, she'll flip on Fowler.
You know what I meant.
That's not what I meant.
I got those files you requested on Judge Clark.
Good job, Price.
Get the crew together.
We are gonna pore over everything discover any discrepancies on every deed and foreclosure notice we've got starting with the Sullivan home.
Okay.
What is it? Good to see you again, Agent Burke.
What are you doing here? I'm working on a project in New York.
Operation Mentor? I can't comment on that.
In fact, I would say you're not supposed to know it even exists.
You can pin this one on me.
You like pinning things on me, right? Agent Fowler.
Received your request this morning.
We'll set you up in one of our offices.
You're working out of here? Oh, relax, Burke.
Just borrowing your phones for a little while.
All right, everyone, take five.
We'll re-convene later.
Thanks a lot.
You got something? Maybe.
Sullivan's father, Michael, signed the original mortgage in November of 1962.
This is his signature on the second mortgage he supposedly took out.
"Supposedly"? Yeah.
There is a mild hesitation mark in the loop of the L.
It's a forgery.
You're sure? Forging a signature is all about confidence.
Here.
Sign this.
How'd you do that? Well, your hand is programmed to write letters a certain way.
You try to mimic someone else's, and your own style will creep in.
But turn the signature upside down, and it becomes nothing more than a drawing.
All you have to do is copy the lines.
Your preconceptions about letters go away.
You have a perfect signature.
That's a neat trick.
Don't copy mine again.
Never.
You have copied my signature? Let's focus on the crime at hand.
Hey, guys.
What are you doing? You need something, Fowler? I'm gonna get clearance from the bureau to talk to our judge.
You need clearance? To talk to a federal judge? Yeah.
And you're gonna stay here.
Last time you were in a judge's chamber, you jumped out the window.
Agent Peter Burke is here to see you.
Judge Clark.
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
Please have a seat.
How can I help you? I'm here investigating a foreclosure dispute filed by a Mr.
David Sullivan.
You were the judge overseeing Sullivan's estate.
I'm sorry, I don't seem to recall that case.
Maybe these will refresh your memory.
I thought this case was settled.
It was, by you.
But we found some discrepancies in the signatures.
Discrepancies? Forgeries.
Enough for me to reopen the case.
Good luck, Agent Burke.
Handwriting analysis won't have enough weight to restart the investigation.
You got more than this? I've got you.
Nine suspicious foreclosures, and you're the common denominator.
What sort of salary does an FBI agent make? Excuse me? I'm curious.
An agent of your stature, Why do you ask? It's a shame you don't make enough for what you do, the risks you take.
You deserve double that.
What are you proposing? Nothing.
I'm simply suggesting that you should make a lot more money for the work that you're doing.
Or not doing, for that matter.
I think you deserve a bonus, Agent Burke.
What kind of bonus are we talking? Quarter of a million.
Does that interest you? It might.
Perhaps we should continue this conversation next week somewhere less official.
Perhaps we can.
Good luck on your case.
I hope you don't run into a wall.
We'll be in touch.
Okay.
Hey.
Miss anything good? She offered me a bribe.
Really? How much are you worth? Quarter million.
That's it? Yeah.
If I'd known you were that cheap, I would've bribed you.
No amount of money would've been as satisfying as catching you the first time.
Or the second.
No one likes a bragger.
We have ourselves a dirty judge.
I think we do.
I'll put in a request with Hughes to authorize a sting.
Fowler.
It's me.
What happened? Agent Burke came to see me like you said.
And? I offered him the money.
He say yes? He didn't say no.
Send me the tape.
No.
What? That tape is my get-out-of-jail-free card.
I want the mortgage-fraud files sealed first.
I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
You want Burke, seal my files.
They won't be processed till tomorrow.
Then that's when you'll get your tape.
Oh.
I got it.
Thank you.
All right.
Whoa.
Old investigation? Uh.
More like Peter's surveillance photos.
I used to work as an assistant manager at an art gallery.
There was a theft, and Peter was the lead investigator.
You were a suspect? I was a witness.
But he wanted to know if I had a boyfriend.
More like add you to the list of corporate, government.
I mean, how charming.
He kept droning on about this Italian restaurant but didn't have the courage to ask me out.
So I-- Well, I gave him a hint.
Misappropriating FBI resources to follow a girl.
It's been known to happen.
The suit is sly.
He's a bit of a bad boy.
Ahem.
What's going on here? Oh, we were just wrapping up for the night.
"We," huh? What are you, a team now? Will you be finishing up soon? Oh, I'll need a few more days.
The downstairs is clear, but the upstairs is still a potential minefield.
So you're telling us that we shouldn't sleep in our own bedroom? Do either of you talk in your sleep? No.
He does.
Jones, drive him home.
Oh, nice try, Suit.
Nice try.
Haversham out.
Don't forget the pâté.
Already packed.
He do anything suspicious? More amusing than anything else.
Thanks, Jones.
Get some rest.
Yeah.
Night.
Good night.
So where are we gonna sleep tonight? Who says you can't camp in New York City? I owe you for this, El.
Well, you can start with dinner.
Saturday night? Italian? It's a date.
Ugh.
It is like Grand Central in here.
Hughes.
Come on in.
Hello, Peter.
Evening, Elizabeth.
Hello, Reese.
- What, you're camping? - Long story.
What's wrong? I need to speak to Peter.
Of course.
Yeah.
Thanks, hon.
I'm not here in an official capacity.
I'm here as your friend.
OPR has launched an investigation into you.
Why? Did you take a bribe from a judge? I spoke with Judge Clark.
Did she offer you money? Yes.
Did you say no? I went to her office, told her about our investigation and she responded with a bribe.
I wanted to play it out, see where it led.
You'd have done the same thing.
Maybe.
OPR's got you on videotape.
Fowler's presenting it tomorrow morning.
I can't protect you, Peter.
This is serious, isn't it? Yeah.
Hughes could lose his job for what he just told me.
This guy, Fowler, he's not gonna stop? No.
I'll fix it.
How? He's got me on tape.
Honey, I.
I've gotta go.
Don't apologize.
Last clue I had led me to Seville, and then nothing.
- Has your Federale contacted Kate? - No, nothing yet.
Or maybe we have something.
No name.
Return address is a P.
O.
Box.
It's a chess move.
Could it be from Kate? She doesn't like chess.
Interesting.
They open with black.
Unusual.
Symbolically making you virtuous white.
Who do you think it is? I don't know.
Elizabeth.
Um, it's Peter.
He needs your help.
What are you doing here? Catching up on work.
You heard about the OPR investigation.
Yeah, well, it might've gotten around.
With all that's going on I figured you could use extra hands.
Thanks, Jones.
Just gonna make a fresh pot.
Let me help you out.
Thanks.
We might wanna put on more than one.
All right.
You want us to break into a judge's office and steal a videotape? Yes.
Do you have a better idea? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to break into federal property? A judge's chambers, no less? You broke out of one.
And if you don't do this, Peter could go to prison.
Yeah.
If I do, I could go back.
You owe him.
All right.
Why don't you get some rest, and we'll handle it? Handle, right.
Like a doorknob.
Thank you.
Thank you both.
Get home safe.
Do you have any idea how we're gonna do this? Okay, Fowler is sending his private courier to pick up the tape at 8 a.
m.
All right.
You got the approach? Don't I always? The courier truck will pull up to the front entrance and check in.
When the driver steps out of the truck, I will stall him.
This one's me.
I figured.
How are you gonna stall him? With my obvious charm, of course.
Do we have a backup? Ha.
I scouted the building.
There's a security-camera blind spot over here.
So while I stall-- I come out of the blind spot dressed as the same courier.
Exactly.
All right.
Any luck getting your hands on a uniform? It's difficult to find a tailor in the dead of night, but I did the best I could.
Is this a park-ranger uniform? Maybe.
With an iron-on? I couldn't find a thimble.
Oh, don't forget this.
Oh, and a BB gun.
Would you prefer a real one? No.
Okay.
Now, you go into the office as the courier and pick up the tape.
Then you use this.
What's the magnet supposed to be? A refrigerator magnet.
But it's actually a high-grade neodymium magnet-- Which will erase the tape.
Yes, thoroughly.
Then you change clothes hand over the newly blanked tape to the actual courier.
No one knows I was there.
And everybody stays out of jail.
You think this will work? All nine of Judge Clark's suspicious The target is a recently deceased elderly person who's lost contact with the family, primarily middle class.
What about the banks and loan officers? Different in every case.
Judge is the only constant.
These cases originally came to her court as standard estate litigation.
She's been in a perfect position to scout out the weaker families.
Since the families are estranged they have to assume that the additional mortgages are legit.
Even if they didn't, they wouldn't have enough money to fight the banks.
Either the family pays, or they lose everything.
The average price tag of a bogus loan is $350,000.
So where does the money go? That's the question.
David Sullivan's foreclosure is still in progress.
So let's follow the money.
Hey.
We're down.
What happened? What? What? Someone just sealed the judge's files.
What now? We go back to the source.
Officer Herrera.
What do you want, Burke? I got close to Clark, and I'm about to lose my job.
You tried to warn me.
I didn't do anything.
If I'm going down, Clark's coming with me.
Look, whoever's giving this judge cover, they won't stop at you.
Understand? They're gonna go after your friends, your family.
That's why it's gotta stop.
I need the evidence that proves she's dirty.
I need to find the money that she got from the Sullivan loan.
I got shut down when I-- When I requested a search warrant for the judge's chambers.
Start there.
It'd be nearly impossible to get into, but a great place to hide it.
I owe you one.
Thanks.
You're Ray, right? Yeah, I'm Ray.
I thought it was you.
I figured you'd have the face of a mouth breather.
Do we have a problem? You're damn right we do, Tiny.
You were supposed to deliver a very sensitive package to me at my house.
Instead, you gave it to my mother.
You know what kind of trouble I'm in because of you? If she sees what's in that package? What was in the package? That's none of your business! Hey.
I'm here to pick up a package from Judge Clark.
Yes.
Just a sec.
She's gonna take everything from me, man.
The free dinners, the free laundry, the free basement.
Is that what you want? No.
You want me penniless in the street without a shirt? You want me shirtless? No.
God, no.
This is to be handed to Agent Fowler personally.
Understood.
Nobody but him can sign for it.
Clear? Thanks.
I'll take care of it.
You got the wrong guy here.
Oh, I do, do I? You're gonna tell me that you are not Ray Collins? No.
See, I'm Ray Hofmeister.
Oh, man.
Hmm.
I'm so sorry.
Wrong Ray.
I'm sure this happens to you all the time.
Actually, no.
Well, if you see Collins, you tell him I'm coming after him, okay? Yeah, sure.
Hey.
About time you got here.
Almost had to deliver this thing myself.
Make sure Agent Fowler receives this personally.
I will.
Just sign right here, please.
Give me that.
I'm sorry for the delay.
Peter.
I spoke with Herrera.
He thinks the judge keeps the cash evidence in her chambers.
You know where exactly? Not yet.
Meet me in the office.
I'll take care of it, judge.
On my way.
Court's adjourned.
Clark should be back any minute now.
Did you find anything in her chambers? No.
I made it look like someone tried to.
You good to go? Yep.
- She doesn't seem happy.
- What are they saying? "Someone's been here.
" "What did they take?" "I don't know.
It-- It doesn't seem like they took anything.
The safe hasn't been touched.
" There's a safe in there, and you didn't--? I didn't have time.
Stay focused.
"We're compromised.
I need to move everything.
Today-- Today's no good.
Tomorrow's clear.
Tomorrow cartoon.
" "At noon.
" Sometimes it clicks.
I don't know why.
I modified it mys-- Focus.
"Get me a deposit box at Certified National immediately.
" And they're gone.
You gonna tell the suit? Soon as he's out of his meeting.
Fowler requested a tap on your phone.
Garrett.
So, what exactly do you wanna show me? I'll let the evidence speak for itself.
Is there anything recorded on this? They must've sent the wrong tape.
Until you have the right one, stop wasting my time.
I don't suppose you had anything to do with Fowler's blank tape? Blank tape? Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, but you should thank your wife.
Okay.
That bought us some more time.
We need to make sure the money is in the judge's chamber.
It is.
And get her to move it.
She will, tomorrow at noon.
I got the name of the bank where she's dumping it.
We can take her down there.
Your information on the money wasn't obtained legally, was it? We need probable cause for search and seizure on whatever is on her person.
You can't arrest her with a briefcase full of money? That's right.
I can't.
But maybe someone else can.
How do we let Fowler know the judge is moving the money? He's tapping my phone.
Agent Burke's making a call.
If it's his wife, I'm not interested.
It's Caffrey.
Should we talk about this on the phone? This is my cell.
We're fine.
Listen, Judge Clark says if I don't pay her soon, she'll send the real tape to Fowler.
- What are you gonna do? - Get the money together.
She wants it by noon today, or no deal.
I'll need your help with the drop.
Okay.
Where is it? Certified National at 51st and 2nd.
Okay.
I'll be there.
I'm sorry about this, Peter.
Why are you sorry? Well, we both know why this is happening.
The music bo-- We got everything we need.
Let's mobilize the team.
I'm first on scene.
We take down Burke.
You got that? By the way, it's a quarter to 12.
Then I better get there.
Give me the tape.
What are you talking about? You think you can double-cross me? I know what you have in here.
I didn't double-cross you.
It-- This is a setup.
What's going on, Fowler? Don't say a word.
Let me handle this.
What the hell do you think you're doing? Assisting you.
You're about to close a high-profile case.
You're arresting Judge Clark on mortgage fraud.
Cash in hand.
Unfortunately, this means no more pet judge.
No more rubber stamps on your warrants.
You have no authorization for this.
Of course I have.
You gave it to me.
This is your signature, isn't it? Because if it is, you're a hero.
But if not, well, I'm not sure how to explain what you're doing here.
Judge Clark, you're under arrest.
What? You have the right to remain silent.
I highly recommend you exercise that right.
This is a big win, Garrett.
Great work.
Yeah.
Great work.
How's the interrogation going? Looked mad in there.
Was that Good Cop, Bad Cop? You need a good cop for that.
She's plea-bargaining out.
Confessing to mortgage fraud.
Just mortgage fraud? I wonder who helped her arrange that deal.
Doesn't matter.
She gave up her sources at the bank.
Even the clerk that was helping her launder the money.
She's gonna get a reduced sentence.
She's taking advantage of the system.
I hate when people do that.
Now that I work for the system, of course.
I appreciate your cooperation on this one, Peter.
Next time I'm in from D.
C.
, I'll give you a call.
It'll take time to sort out all the paperwork but no one's taking this from you now.
This is where she'll come home from her first day of school.
Maybe her first date.
Your dad would be happy.
Yeah, he would.
Thank you.
Color on this.
So the rest of the house is clear? Yes.
But your wiring belongs in a museum.
You're living in a firetrap.
The future is in copper wiring.
I know a guy-- You've done more than enough.
Thank you.
Moz, I'll walk you out.
Oh, thanks, El.
"El"? "Moz"? He trusts her.
Guess they were okay here.
Mixed victory.
Lot of those lately.
You should be happy.
Caught a dirty judge.
Got rid of Fowler.
He won't stay away as long as I have the music box.
As long as he thinks you have it.
Okay, I don't have it.
Oh, look at that.
Telling the truth.
Did it hurt? Little bit.
Your turn.
You hear back from Kate? I did.
"See Robert.
" That make any sense? Yeah.
Robert's her father.
Wanna talk to him? Won't be easy.
He's dead.
Kind of macabre for a meeting place.
Yeah.
It sends a certain message.
Yeah.
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here.
" I called him.
Consider this your Kate intervention.
It's time to think about giving up the chase.
No, thanks.
There it is.
Robert Moreau.
Kate's father.
Yeah.
Flowers are a few days old.
Yeah.
She's been here.
Anything? No.
Maybe you guys were right.
Abandon all hope.
Does that flower mean what I think it means? Yeah, I think it does.
