The Finder (2012) s01e12 Episode Script
Voodoo Undo
Nothing's happening.
You know why? Because the guest of honor at this funeral died of natural causes.
Mm-hmm.
And that is why the lid is being kept on on gang violence by the meanest son of a bitch in the valley.
Javier Obispo.
Javier Obispo.
Yeah, well, word on the street is that Javier Obispo's losing his grip.
He's sick or something.
Mm-hmm.
Something's happening.
I told you to stay out! It's a funeral.
Puerto Ricans.
Nice to see a rival drug gang paying final respects, huh? Gives you hope for peace in the Middle East.
You seeing this? That's why they kill each other.
Yeah, except for the civilians.
Gun! Shots fired.
Need assistance.
Police! Drop your weapons! You ok? Shot in the vest.
Gillespie! What are you gonna do? You advise me to keep breathing? You sure you're gonna be ok? Yeah, I'll be all right.
It's just a couple cracked ribs.
I think what Walter meant was, are you all right with killing a man? Gillespie caught a round through both lungs and nicked his heart.
They don't know if he's gonna make it, so, yeah, I'm good with killing the son of a bitch who did that.
Hello! Hello? I'd like to come in, but I don't need nobody panicking.
Why would we panic? How you doin'? That's Javier Obispo.
He's a huge crime lord.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm alone.
Come on in.
Don't invite the gangster in.
Why? Is he a vampire? I'm a federal agent.
Obispo is a crook.
I can't fraternize.
I don't want to fraternize.
I just want him to find something.
I have the right to refuse service to anyone.
See the sign? We'll do this outside.
Walter.
It's fine.
Harmless.
I thought you said you were alone.
Inside I was.
Do you guarantee client confidentiality? What, like a lawyer? Nah.
What do you want me to find? Look at me.
You can't tell? A doctor? He's good for the sport.
That's all I'm saying.
Maybe I don't care about David Beckham.
You're so worried about David Beckham, you left the door open! Suddenly, no reason Aahh! You want me to find a contractor.
Two days later On this TV show, there are two worlds, like parallel universes.
Two of everybody.
Benny, stop talking about your stupid TV shows.
Ow! I'm lucky it cracked my wrist and it didn't slice my throat open.
A couple of days after that, I sprained my back lifting a rolled-up rug out of the trunk of my town car.
Was there a dead body in it? You know, sometimes a rug is just a rug.
I got a wrenched back, stomach problems, scrapes, burns, and on top of all that I'm going bald.
You want me to find your hair? Isn't it obvious what I want you to find? No.
Oh, that's not attractive.
It's a Voodoo doll, of me.
I need you to find it before it kills me.
Come on.
I don't believe in Voodoo.
What if I tell you this? If you don't find this within a week, I kill everybody.
You do that, I find it in a day and burn it.
No hard feelings.
Whoa! Daah! Walter, you have to find that Voodoo doll.
You can't believe Javier Obispo is good? I said relatively good.
Relatively good is another way of saying bad.
You know the conundrum where if Hitler was assassinated, somebody worse could have taken over? Who could be worse than Hitler? Sometimes you gotta choose the lesser of two evils.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
I will not help a killer.
I saw Gillespie get shot and a priest get killed.
This isn't about philosophy, Leo.
This is about real lives in the real world.
I'll find that doll.
You're on your own.
I'm sitting this one out.
What? The Finder S01E12 Voodoo Undo You changed your mind.
I like to look at it as my mind changed me, but the results are the same.
Why? Turns out you're not as bad as Hitler.
It's true.
I'm not as bad as Hitler.
In fact, you could say I'm an angel protecting the city.
Ah! You see? It's the Voodoo.
You ever think that maybe this guy's just messin' with you? Oh Benny, put your weapon away.
This man has been serving me since the age of 14.
What you say is very insulting to a loyal man like Benny.
Of course, there is my brother Luis.
Luis is next in line to take over the business.
You want to take the business from me, Luis? Definitely.
I do it much better than you.
But I love and respect you.
Is there anyone who doesn't love you that wants your business? The Armenians.
Dominicans.
Jamaicans.
Russians.
Asians.
The asians are very cunning.
I especially hate the Armenians.
Why would asians and Armenians use a Voodoo doll? This is Miami.
Voodoo is in the air.
Yeah.
Ok, uh, I'm gonna need to take that photograph with me.
And how'd you get this? I found it slipped in my pocket.
It's a Voodoo doll.
And it's real, too.
Not a souvenir.
How can you tell? That's blood.
Is Leo really not gonna help? He really isn't.
Why send the photo to Obispo? Well, for a Voodoo doll to work, the victim's gotta know about it.
Psychology.
Willa, can you make a doll like that? I'm a gypsy, not a witch.
Only like 2 or 3 witches can make a real Voodoo doll.
Where are they? I don't know.
They're, like, evil.
Well, back in the real world, I made a list of criminals who want Javier Obispo dead.
Thanks, Isabel, that's helpful.
Don't condescend to me like that, ok? It's not being condescending, but look at the size of your list.
By the time we go through all of Javier's enemies, he'll be dead.
Let me know if you need help.
Wow.
First Leo, now Isabel.
You're annoying to everyone.
Isabel killed a guy, so she's all discombobulated.
Isabel killed a guy? Respect.
How would I find out who made the doll and then ask them nicely who he made it for? I know a good witch who might be able to help.
Is her name Glenda? And she rides in a bubble? If that's supposed to be some kind of joke, it's too old.
The bitter shells symbolize negative interference.
The black hemp cord represents darkness.
And the blood? The victim, because he's harmed from the inside.
This man Is in grievous danger.
What's the link between witches and gypsies, anyway? Walter is afraid that if you and I know each other, there's a con.
Ah.
Gypsies are people of the spirit world.
Please tell him to put that down! - Walter! - What? - Seriously? - Jeez.
How come she won't talk to me? There some kind of, uh, woman thing going on here? Tell him I find him not to be a serious person.
Can you identify the maker of this Voodoo doll? There are 3 evil witches in Miami.
This is definitely the work of one who call herself the Scorpion Witch.
Can you tell us where to find the Scorpion Witch? You have to buy something.
He'll take an ochosi medal.
So many rules.
Hey, Willa, what's this? It's a sex wanga, Walter.
Put it down.
I have a sex wanga, trust me.
It doesn't look like this.
It'll protect you.
From what? Scorpion Witch.
One hundred dollars.
A hundred dollars? That's kind of pricy.
Fine.
A hundred dollars.
Where can we find the Scorpion Witch? She flaunts her black heart.
She lives behind the gate of hell.
She sells to the gullible, to people who take lightly what they should fear the most, like him.
Got it.
Thanks.
Gypsy, is better this evil woman never know you exist.
This man should understand that and protect you.
Oh, yeah.
The invisible man understands.
Thanks for the thingie.
Thank you.
Foroyar Island.
What is this, the Foroyar Island? This is a tourist shop, Walter.
It's full of souvenirs.
It's not exactly the gateway to hell.
Walter math.
Black heart.
Foolish and gullible tourists.
Best place for a bad witch to hide is in plain sight.
Stay here, like the good witch said.
Oh, you bet.
I most definitely will.
That's made in China.
I thought we agreed you'd stay out there.
Look, either you believe in witchcraft and you're scared for my safety or you don't.
Oh, I don't believe.
But you do.
The gate of hell.
Yeah.
There's gotta be some kind of a secret latch or maybe even a voice activation.
Open sesame.
Or a A hidden lever of some sort.
Oh.
Sometimes you overthink.
This looks totally evil.
Javier Obispo.
Oh, totally evil and totally gross.
Are you gonna open that? Yeah.
Oh, God! Birthday.
Hmm.
What's sticking out of her head? Ohh! Take it easy.
She's still dead.
Which is all in all a good thing.
Her eyes opened.
I touched the icepick, the icepick was in her brain, ergo fargo, I triggered her nervous system.
Or she was sealed in that coffin for a reason, and when you opened it, her spirit escaped into the world so that she could possess someone else's body.
Nah.
Why were you here? We came to talk to the evil witch and a Voodoo doll-maker.
Why else? Did you find the doll? No.
The way Stevie nicks was killed-- icepick to the noggin-- it seems like it could be some kind of signature.
Before you didn't need my police work.
Before you said you didn't care that you killed a guy.
Hey, Izzy, big ups on the shooting thing.
Thank you.
Never call me Izzy again.
Things have changed.
I need your police powers now because a dead witch equals a dead end.
And if you don't help me, I'm gonna tell Leo that you said thank you to Willa when she said shooting a man to death was awesome.
Fine.
There's an elusive hitman named Icepick.
He's killed more people than smoking.
Then why haven't you found him yet? Because all we have are rumors and a nickname.
No one who's seen him is still alive.
Does Icepick work for anybody in particular? Big shocker-- Javier Obispo.
Circle of life.
More like circle of death.
Here you go.
Isabel will give you a ride back to the ends of the earth.
Um Walter, no, I won't.
Leo may not be here, but his voice is in my head.
Do not take Willa to meet a sociopathic serial killer.
How's about we turn on the siren and get some civilians out of the way? This is not a toy.
You know, you seem ok for somebody who just saw her first murder victim.
If it makes you feel better, I'll freak out later in private.
That would make me feel better, yes, thank you.
If you promise to freak out about shooting a guy.
U.
S.
Marshals do not freak out.
Were you scared during your epic gun battle? Don't be so avid on the subject.
It's creepy.
Leo says if you kill someone, you lose part of your soul.
Let's just say Leo isn't as anchored in the real world as I am.
Excuse me for believing in the importance of spirits.
Go ahead and be as superstitious as you like.
It's your right as an American.
It must have hurt getting shot.
Even through a bulletproof vest.
It did hurt.
It still does.
It's nice to know you can feel pain.
Ok.
Now, that's enough bonding for today.
Can I ask you something? Oh, by God, I'm not a cabbie.
What if Walter finds this Icepick ghost killer and he doesn't want to be found and he icepicks Walter? You're just a horrible child.
If this Icepick guy has killed hundreds of people and Leo's right, then Walter's going up against a zombie.
Tell me Walter finding zombies doesn't make you nervous.
Icepick is probably just an urban myth, anyway.
I doubt he even exists.
Walter Sherman.
I've heard of you.
They call you The Finder because you find things.
And I've heard of you.
They call you the Icepick because you icepick people.
Walter's working for me.
Finding something.
Well, it's a delicate matter.
It's a Voodoo doll.
I don't want the whole world to know.
With respect, Javier, the streets are filled with rumors that you've been cursed.
Oh, is that why you eee! Eee! Eee! The woman who made the Voodoo doll? I do what I do when I'm paid to do it.
And for no other reason.
So you didn't tell him to do that eee! Eee! Eee!? No.
Your technique is appalling.
It's one clean shot.
I would never break my exclusive contract with Mr.
Obispo's organization.
You were hired by one of my people.
Now, did they tell you to leave the body around so it could be found? As a warning.
Otherwise, I would have done what I usually do.
And what is that? What I usually do.
We have a special place for such things.
It's a very good real estate investment, and an added bonus-- a place where bad smells go unnoticed.
Who told you to kill the witch? A craftsman's only as good as his tools.
No? What'd he say? I can't hear you.
Hey, he's choking.
Benny! Stand back! I'll perform a tracheotomy.
Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! All right.
All right.
That doll is going to be the death of me.
Before you eat anything else, who told Icepick to kill the witch? My ex-wife.
Ileana, did you ask Icepick to kill the witch? You're going to ask me this in front of Ivan? All right, Ivan, scram.
I'll take over.
Yeah.
Seriously, I got this.
Ok.
Ileana, did you hire Icepick? Oh, God.
Wow.
Ileana.
Ohh, this is wonderful.
Why do you find all the right spots? I am The Finder.
Ok.
Ileana, did you ask Icepick to kill the witch? Yes.
Oh, yes.
I can't tell if she's answering me or I hired him.
Why? Someone had to take action.
Why? Listen, everyone's talking about how she put a curse on you.
That's why everything is Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Falling apart? I still care for you.
No need to thank me.
It would have been better if Icepick would have found out where the Voodoo doll was hidden before he killed her, but Listen, the witch is dead.
Put superstition behind you and sack up like a real man.
Um Right.
Yeah.
Look, ileana, you are wrong about the power of this doll, and the witch is my only way of finding out who's trying to kill me! Everyone is trying to kill you.
And your arm is on fire.
Oh! Aah! Dah! Boss, boss, what happened? Get away from him.
What did you do to him? Boss, come on, what happened? It's the doll.
It's the doll.
This finder is not finding.
Now we're nowhere.
Being a gangster has become so negative.
What's in this? Ingredients the witch used to make your doll.
Fingernail clippings, hair.
There's your cufflinks.
Old cigar? Yeah, probably for the saliva.
A cotton ball with my blood on it from when I got cut shaving.
This is starting to get creepy.
Think about it.
How was the witch able to get these things? It had to come from someone who's very close to you.
Now, does anyone here want to say something? Anyone? He's doing it again, boss.
He's questioning my loyalty.
No, no, he's merely thinking out loud, my friend.
Relax.
Oh, no.
I'm definitely questioning his loyalty.
Benny was there every time anything happened, so you gotta think that maybe-- Oh, my God.
Oh, ow, ow, ow.
Ohh God, I thought you were dead! Ah, the bullet was a dud.
It was sort of a dud.
It was duddish.
Who shot you? It was an accidental discharge.
You're totally lying.
Plus saved by the good witch.
You got shot? He's not dead.
Are you sure? Did you check his pulse? I'm not dead.
Can we talk a moment, please? I'm right here.
I'm fine! I got a sponge bath.
What? I told you Walter shouldn't take this case.
Do not berate me, Leo.
The lesser of two evils.
That's what you said.
What's the lesser evil now? Do you know why you're mad? Yeah.
Because you had to shoot a man, and you didn't want to admit you're freaked out, so you talked Walter into taking this stupid case.
No, no, no.
You're mad because you decided not to be there and Walter got shot.
Oh, that's right, my friend.
If you try to guilt me, you better be ready to dig deep for the rebound.
That's not a legitimate sports metaphor, but I get your point.
Yeah.
I get your point, too.
Why do I have to say that I'm freaked out? So your friends know.
My friends already know.
You back in this now? Oh, yeah, I'm in it.
Good.
It's like I got Walter shot and I'm freaked out about that.
Benny was offended when you accused him of betraying me.
Benny.
I apologize for shooting you.
I lost my temper and behaved badly.
Badly? You shot my man Walter in the chest.
I promise not to do it again.
Eh.
And? And I will defend Walter as if he were Mr.
Obispo from now on.
All right.
Oh! And I will pay you $50,000.
Mm-hmm.
a sack of lettuce.
It's blood money.
We don't want it.
Pro bono majordomo.
That box is filled with a lot of Javier's personal items.
Uh, toenail clippings, saliva, missing hair, that sort of thing.
Ow.
Like it or not, that implicates you.
If you reach for your gun, I'll snap your arm off and beat you to death with it.
Benny isn't the only one with implications.
I'm his brother.
What are you talking about? A half-brother.
You think I'd betray you? Huh? Benny! Shoot him again! Mr.
Obispo says no.
And a word to the wise to you, you shoot him, I gotta shoot you.
Luis, you argue with me all the time, always advising me to kill all my enemies.
It's very bloodthirsty.
That's because I'm-- what do you call it? Devil's advocate.
Yes! It's my role to make you look at all sides of each matter.
Your side is the "kill everybody" side.
It's very 1990s.
How did you get paralyzed? I got shot.
Why? Was it Javier's fault? It wasn't my fault.
He got shot by a Dominican.
You sent me to that meeting, hermano.
Oh, so now you're gonna blame me for what is basically a job hazard.
You see what he does? He pits brother against brother.
Uh uh uh uh.
Huh? Oh, you're gonna shoot me now.
Well, I don't want him to rip my arm off.
Put it away.
Put it away.
Hermano, we don't need them.
We don't need outsiders Go sit down over there.
We don't need-- we don't need outsiders Maybe I don't have to shoot him.
It wasn't me.
And we're back.
Did somebody shoot me again? No.
The doctor says a large subdural hematoma from the previous injury burst.
Until you find your Voodoo-- Willa.
Little more.
- A little more.
- You need to-- you need to wear this at all times.
Willa thinks the Scorpion Witch is still alive and that she's made a Voodoo doll of you.
Just think on it.
There's no other rational explanation.
You need to look up rational in your word of the day.
You gotta stop looking for Javier's Voodoo doll and find your own.
Willa, I saw the Scorpion Witch dead.
So did I.
La bruja was right.
You people have no sense of the spirit world.
Now, can you get me out of here? Absolutely not.
It's a bad idea.
Buddy, bad ideas are sort of my thing.
Come on.
Here we go.
Yo.
Ohh yeah.
Do you believe in Voodoo? Not exactly.
Not exactly? I believe in the mysteries of the universe and the capacities of the human mind.
Well, I don't believe in Voodoo.
I don't believe in zombies.
Every time someone commits an evil deed, they lose a piece of their soul.
Eventually you're left with a zombie.
Now, that's a metaphor.
I'm not afraid of metaphors.
Walter, there are things worth fearing.
This one I don't get.
It's a motive machine.
Believe me, when it comes to Javier Obispo, everybody has a motive.
That's why we need the super computer.
A super computer made up of hoses, a bicycle wheel, and bowling pins.
Our spirit guide.
Now, I drop it in the top, and it leads down the labyrinth to the minotaur, where the first fork in the labyrinth leads to business, political, and personal.
Personal.
A Voodoo doll is about revenge, so that makes sense.
As the ball drops, the computer does dozens of calculations, taking into account means, motive, opportunity, who could get blood, who could get the picture into Javier's jacket, who hates the Armenians, who can climb stairs, what alliances could occur, and do the asians know the gypsies? Here we go.
Hey, is that me? Your family pays Javier Obispo just like every other criminal organization.
It's gonna be the ex-wife.
it's the chubby assistant.
The good witch? La Bruja? What motive does she have? Isabel, I need you to check the police records and see if there's a link between Javier Obispo and the good witch.
Yeah, I know it's the police records again.
Really? We're gonna believe this contraption? Oh.
Yore happy to believe in Voodoo dolls but not in advanced science? I'll go with you.
Not a good idea.
La Bruja hates men.
Police records show that your son Marvial was killed last year.
He was only 17.
Marvial was part of a street gang called the Legion Park Kings.
Paid their fine to Javier Obispo, and your son was killed.
My beautiful boy.
He die in the street, in the gutter.
And now, you want to help Javier Obispo, despite his evil? There are people worse than Javier.
A bad man is a bad man.
She's been talking to Leo.
And a man who helps a bad man, he is a bad man.
Wow, Willa was right.
She made a Voodoo doll of me.
You made a Voodoo doll of Walter? Forget that.
Where's Javier Obispo's doll? - Where is Walter's doll? - I refuse to help you.
People are dying because of you.
Ach.
If you mean the Scorpion Witch, the world is better without her.
A priest is dead, too.
Is the world a better place without him? And what about the cop who's in the hospital struggling to live? Are his wife and child better off without him? I had to shoot a young man.
He was somebody's son.
Just like your boy.
I killed him.
Oh, my God.
Really? You expect me to feel that? This is not the doll I'm looking for.
I do not have what it is that you want.
So who does? It's not my idea.
A man come to me.
This man say, I give you the chance to make the world a better place.
So you made a Voodoo doll of Javier Obispo.
What man? I don't know his name.
This man, he's in a wheelchair.
Thank you.
Be very careful, eh? There is a ritual for disposing of this doll.
Shocker.
I still have all my arms and legs.
This one, he pays no heed to the spirit world.
Eh? Leo says you're freaked out about killing that guy.
Me freaking out isn't like normal people freaking out.
It's like normal people burping.
But, Leo's right.
I sort of forced you into this case because I was quietly burping, on the inside.
This case sucks.
Everybody involved is an awful human being.
Cops deal with awful human beings all the time.
Sometimes we have to shoot them.
Your head tells you that.
Right? You know what I mean.
Like Leo says to kill someone, you gotta give up a piece of your soul.
You don't want that feeling to go away.
I sort of do want that feeling to go away.
If that happens to you, then you let go of the rest of your soul.
Metaphorically.
And I lost you.
I need to know what real estate holding Obispo has downwind of the sewage plant on Virginia key.
Why? That's where Luis buried the Voodoo doll.
Because? Because it stinks bad enough you can't smell the dead bodies.
There's bodies buried there? Give Leo and I 24 hours, get a search warrant.
What is this place? It's a warehouse near the sewage plant on Virginia key.
They kill someone, bury them here, then they're never seen again.
Yeah.
That lesser evil's looking less and less lesser.
You think the doll's under that concrete? No.
That takes teamwork.
Luis didn't want anybody to know what he was doing.
He came here alone.
He can't dig from the wheelchair or use a cement mixer.
I gotta absorb the vibe, man.
Walter.
Walter! It's been 6 hours.
What? Wow.
You really are tall.
Leo, I've been going about this all the wrong way.
I've been looking down, but a guy in a wheelchair A guy in a wheelchair always has to look up.
You see the concrete smear? Hand me that shovel.
Now, Luis would have to do the same thing.
How did he get the doll in there? Booyah! Now, I'm guessing Luis would have to do that a few more times due to my physical prowess.
You found it.
I didn't think you'd find it.
Well, well, Luis.
I thought you said Luis worked alone.
Well, he did on the doll part.
Luis wants his brother's business but he didn't want to kill him.
Unfortunately, killing us isn't a problem.
The doll-- give it to me.
Aah! I paid you to kill him.
Now kill him! Aah! Uhh! Consider this-- you attack Walter and give me a chance to kill you-- a better idea would be to kill me first, then take care of Walter.
Hey, I think you impugned my manhood, by the way.
Icepick--taking this job was a bad idea.
I'm a paid killer.
Javier is bad for business.
Leo, careful.
He's got an endless supply of those things.
You know I could have done that.
All right, firstly, sin of pride.
Your term, not mine.
And secondly, you're welcome.
What are you gonna tell my brother? There you go.
Oh, that's adorable.
Cheese! Ah, I'd make a run for it if I were you.
It's the doll.
You found it.
It's what I do.
But I forgot to tell you that when I look for something, generally I find things the client doesn't really want to find.
What? I'd like to leave here before you open this box.
You have my word.
Ohh.
Boss it was Luis.
That ain't good.
Get the guys together.
We're gonna need more cement.
All right.
Now, given the chance, do you strangle Hitler in his crib? No.
Of course you do.
It's Hitler.
No, because he's not Hitler.
Oh, he's most definitely Hitler.
Is says so right on his little baby wrist tag.
I mean, whatever happened to that little baby to turn him into Hitler has not yet happened.
All right, so let's say he becomes Hitler in what? Kindergarten? Then do you strangle him? Now, I say yes if he's got the mustache.
It's kindergarten.
He doesn't have the mustache.
Ok, wait.
How do you know he wasn't born evil? These questions make my brain hurt.
Good.
That means you have a soul.
If we can all stop talking about Hitler for just a second, the good news is, Gillespie is gonna make it.
All right.
Happy ending.
But Luis Obispo is missing.
Walter can tell you where to find his body.
You can? Check the warehouse.
What about the scary icepick maniac? I'm sure he's buried in the same place.
You know, I hope so.
After we embarrassed him, he might hold a grudge.
I don't think so.
He's a professional.
He kills for pay.
Leo, say that thing that dude wrote down.
Lao Tzu says; "The world is won by those who let it go.
" Mm-hmm.
Now, how about this? Do we harvest organs from death row executions? Absolutely.
Waste not, want not.
Yeah, buddy.
Oh, God, my brain's gonna explode.
That's right.
This is life.
Life is designed to make your brain explode.
That's why we have brains.
Too deep for all of y'all.
You know why? Because the guest of honor at this funeral died of natural causes.
Mm-hmm.
And that is why the lid is being kept on on gang violence by the meanest son of a bitch in the valley.
Javier Obispo.
Javier Obispo.
Yeah, well, word on the street is that Javier Obispo's losing his grip.
He's sick or something.
Mm-hmm.
Something's happening.
I told you to stay out! It's a funeral.
Puerto Ricans.
Nice to see a rival drug gang paying final respects, huh? Gives you hope for peace in the Middle East.
You seeing this? That's why they kill each other.
Yeah, except for the civilians.
Gun! Shots fired.
Need assistance.
Police! Drop your weapons! You ok? Shot in the vest.
Gillespie! What are you gonna do? You advise me to keep breathing? You sure you're gonna be ok? Yeah, I'll be all right.
It's just a couple cracked ribs.
I think what Walter meant was, are you all right with killing a man? Gillespie caught a round through both lungs and nicked his heart.
They don't know if he's gonna make it, so, yeah, I'm good with killing the son of a bitch who did that.
Hello! Hello? I'd like to come in, but I don't need nobody panicking.
Why would we panic? How you doin'? That's Javier Obispo.
He's a huge crime lord.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm alone.
Come on in.
Don't invite the gangster in.
Why? Is he a vampire? I'm a federal agent.
Obispo is a crook.
I can't fraternize.
I don't want to fraternize.
I just want him to find something.
I have the right to refuse service to anyone.
See the sign? We'll do this outside.
Walter.
It's fine.
Harmless.
I thought you said you were alone.
Inside I was.
Do you guarantee client confidentiality? What, like a lawyer? Nah.
What do you want me to find? Look at me.
You can't tell? A doctor? He's good for the sport.
That's all I'm saying.
Maybe I don't care about David Beckham.
You're so worried about David Beckham, you left the door open! Suddenly, no reason Aahh! You want me to find a contractor.
Two days later On this TV show, there are two worlds, like parallel universes.
Two of everybody.
Benny, stop talking about your stupid TV shows.
Ow! I'm lucky it cracked my wrist and it didn't slice my throat open.
A couple of days after that, I sprained my back lifting a rolled-up rug out of the trunk of my town car.
Was there a dead body in it? You know, sometimes a rug is just a rug.
I got a wrenched back, stomach problems, scrapes, burns, and on top of all that I'm going bald.
You want me to find your hair? Isn't it obvious what I want you to find? No.
Oh, that's not attractive.
It's a Voodoo doll, of me.
I need you to find it before it kills me.
Come on.
I don't believe in Voodoo.
What if I tell you this? If you don't find this within a week, I kill everybody.
You do that, I find it in a day and burn it.
No hard feelings.
Whoa! Daah! Walter, you have to find that Voodoo doll.
You can't believe Javier Obispo is good? I said relatively good.
Relatively good is another way of saying bad.
You know the conundrum where if Hitler was assassinated, somebody worse could have taken over? Who could be worse than Hitler? Sometimes you gotta choose the lesser of two evils.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
I will not help a killer.
I saw Gillespie get shot and a priest get killed.
This isn't about philosophy, Leo.
This is about real lives in the real world.
I'll find that doll.
You're on your own.
I'm sitting this one out.
What? The Finder S01E12 Voodoo Undo You changed your mind.
I like to look at it as my mind changed me, but the results are the same.
Why? Turns out you're not as bad as Hitler.
It's true.
I'm not as bad as Hitler.
In fact, you could say I'm an angel protecting the city.
Ah! You see? It's the Voodoo.
You ever think that maybe this guy's just messin' with you? Oh Benny, put your weapon away.
This man has been serving me since the age of 14.
What you say is very insulting to a loyal man like Benny.
Of course, there is my brother Luis.
Luis is next in line to take over the business.
You want to take the business from me, Luis? Definitely.
I do it much better than you.
But I love and respect you.
Is there anyone who doesn't love you that wants your business? The Armenians.
Dominicans.
Jamaicans.
Russians.
Asians.
The asians are very cunning.
I especially hate the Armenians.
Why would asians and Armenians use a Voodoo doll? This is Miami.
Voodoo is in the air.
Yeah.
Ok, uh, I'm gonna need to take that photograph with me.
And how'd you get this? I found it slipped in my pocket.
It's a Voodoo doll.
And it's real, too.
Not a souvenir.
How can you tell? That's blood.
Is Leo really not gonna help? He really isn't.
Why send the photo to Obispo? Well, for a Voodoo doll to work, the victim's gotta know about it.
Psychology.
Willa, can you make a doll like that? I'm a gypsy, not a witch.
Only like 2 or 3 witches can make a real Voodoo doll.
Where are they? I don't know.
They're, like, evil.
Well, back in the real world, I made a list of criminals who want Javier Obispo dead.
Thanks, Isabel, that's helpful.
Don't condescend to me like that, ok? It's not being condescending, but look at the size of your list.
By the time we go through all of Javier's enemies, he'll be dead.
Let me know if you need help.
Wow.
First Leo, now Isabel.
You're annoying to everyone.
Isabel killed a guy, so she's all discombobulated.
Isabel killed a guy? Respect.
How would I find out who made the doll and then ask them nicely who he made it for? I know a good witch who might be able to help.
Is her name Glenda? And she rides in a bubble? If that's supposed to be some kind of joke, it's too old.
The bitter shells symbolize negative interference.
The black hemp cord represents darkness.
And the blood? The victim, because he's harmed from the inside.
This man Is in grievous danger.
What's the link between witches and gypsies, anyway? Walter is afraid that if you and I know each other, there's a con.
Ah.
Gypsies are people of the spirit world.
Please tell him to put that down! - Walter! - What? - Seriously? - Jeez.
How come she won't talk to me? There some kind of, uh, woman thing going on here? Tell him I find him not to be a serious person.
Can you identify the maker of this Voodoo doll? There are 3 evil witches in Miami.
This is definitely the work of one who call herself the Scorpion Witch.
Can you tell us where to find the Scorpion Witch? You have to buy something.
He'll take an ochosi medal.
So many rules.
Hey, Willa, what's this? It's a sex wanga, Walter.
Put it down.
I have a sex wanga, trust me.
It doesn't look like this.
It'll protect you.
From what? Scorpion Witch.
One hundred dollars.
A hundred dollars? That's kind of pricy.
Fine.
A hundred dollars.
Where can we find the Scorpion Witch? She flaunts her black heart.
She lives behind the gate of hell.
She sells to the gullible, to people who take lightly what they should fear the most, like him.
Got it.
Thanks.
Gypsy, is better this evil woman never know you exist.
This man should understand that and protect you.
Oh, yeah.
The invisible man understands.
Thanks for the thingie.
Thank you.
Foroyar Island.
What is this, the Foroyar Island? This is a tourist shop, Walter.
It's full of souvenirs.
It's not exactly the gateway to hell.
Walter math.
Black heart.
Foolish and gullible tourists.
Best place for a bad witch to hide is in plain sight.
Stay here, like the good witch said.
Oh, you bet.
I most definitely will.
That's made in China.
I thought we agreed you'd stay out there.
Look, either you believe in witchcraft and you're scared for my safety or you don't.
Oh, I don't believe.
But you do.
The gate of hell.
Yeah.
There's gotta be some kind of a secret latch or maybe even a voice activation.
Open sesame.
Or a A hidden lever of some sort.
Oh.
Sometimes you overthink.
This looks totally evil.
Javier Obispo.
Oh, totally evil and totally gross.
Are you gonna open that? Yeah.
Oh, God! Birthday.
Hmm.
What's sticking out of her head? Ohh! Take it easy.
She's still dead.
Which is all in all a good thing.
Her eyes opened.
I touched the icepick, the icepick was in her brain, ergo fargo, I triggered her nervous system.
Or she was sealed in that coffin for a reason, and when you opened it, her spirit escaped into the world so that she could possess someone else's body.
Nah.
Why were you here? We came to talk to the evil witch and a Voodoo doll-maker.
Why else? Did you find the doll? No.
The way Stevie nicks was killed-- icepick to the noggin-- it seems like it could be some kind of signature.
Before you didn't need my police work.
Before you said you didn't care that you killed a guy.
Hey, Izzy, big ups on the shooting thing.
Thank you.
Never call me Izzy again.
Things have changed.
I need your police powers now because a dead witch equals a dead end.
And if you don't help me, I'm gonna tell Leo that you said thank you to Willa when she said shooting a man to death was awesome.
Fine.
There's an elusive hitman named Icepick.
He's killed more people than smoking.
Then why haven't you found him yet? Because all we have are rumors and a nickname.
No one who's seen him is still alive.
Does Icepick work for anybody in particular? Big shocker-- Javier Obispo.
Circle of life.
More like circle of death.
Here you go.
Isabel will give you a ride back to the ends of the earth.
Um Walter, no, I won't.
Leo may not be here, but his voice is in my head.
Do not take Willa to meet a sociopathic serial killer.
How's about we turn on the siren and get some civilians out of the way? This is not a toy.
You know, you seem ok for somebody who just saw her first murder victim.
If it makes you feel better, I'll freak out later in private.
That would make me feel better, yes, thank you.
If you promise to freak out about shooting a guy.
U.
S.
Marshals do not freak out.
Were you scared during your epic gun battle? Don't be so avid on the subject.
It's creepy.
Leo says if you kill someone, you lose part of your soul.
Let's just say Leo isn't as anchored in the real world as I am.
Excuse me for believing in the importance of spirits.
Go ahead and be as superstitious as you like.
It's your right as an American.
It must have hurt getting shot.
Even through a bulletproof vest.
It did hurt.
It still does.
It's nice to know you can feel pain.
Ok.
Now, that's enough bonding for today.
Can I ask you something? Oh, by God, I'm not a cabbie.
What if Walter finds this Icepick ghost killer and he doesn't want to be found and he icepicks Walter? You're just a horrible child.
If this Icepick guy has killed hundreds of people and Leo's right, then Walter's going up against a zombie.
Tell me Walter finding zombies doesn't make you nervous.
Icepick is probably just an urban myth, anyway.
I doubt he even exists.
Walter Sherman.
I've heard of you.
They call you The Finder because you find things.
And I've heard of you.
They call you the Icepick because you icepick people.
Walter's working for me.
Finding something.
Well, it's a delicate matter.
It's a Voodoo doll.
I don't want the whole world to know.
With respect, Javier, the streets are filled with rumors that you've been cursed.
Oh, is that why you eee! Eee! Eee! The woman who made the Voodoo doll? I do what I do when I'm paid to do it.
And for no other reason.
So you didn't tell him to do that eee! Eee! Eee!? No.
Your technique is appalling.
It's one clean shot.
I would never break my exclusive contract with Mr.
Obispo's organization.
You were hired by one of my people.
Now, did they tell you to leave the body around so it could be found? As a warning.
Otherwise, I would have done what I usually do.
And what is that? What I usually do.
We have a special place for such things.
It's a very good real estate investment, and an added bonus-- a place where bad smells go unnoticed.
Who told you to kill the witch? A craftsman's only as good as his tools.
No? What'd he say? I can't hear you.
Hey, he's choking.
Benny! Stand back! I'll perform a tracheotomy.
Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! All right.
All right.
That doll is going to be the death of me.
Before you eat anything else, who told Icepick to kill the witch? My ex-wife.
Ileana, did you ask Icepick to kill the witch? You're going to ask me this in front of Ivan? All right, Ivan, scram.
I'll take over.
Yeah.
Seriously, I got this.
Ok.
Ileana, did you hire Icepick? Oh, God.
Wow.
Ileana.
Ohh, this is wonderful.
Why do you find all the right spots? I am The Finder.
Ok.
Ileana, did you ask Icepick to kill the witch? Yes.
Oh, yes.
I can't tell if she's answering me or I hired him.
Why? Someone had to take action.
Why? Listen, everyone's talking about how she put a curse on you.
That's why everything is Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Falling apart? I still care for you.
No need to thank me.
It would have been better if Icepick would have found out where the Voodoo doll was hidden before he killed her, but Listen, the witch is dead.
Put superstition behind you and sack up like a real man.
Um Right.
Yeah.
Look, ileana, you are wrong about the power of this doll, and the witch is my only way of finding out who's trying to kill me! Everyone is trying to kill you.
And your arm is on fire.
Oh! Aah! Dah! Boss, boss, what happened? Get away from him.
What did you do to him? Boss, come on, what happened? It's the doll.
It's the doll.
This finder is not finding.
Now we're nowhere.
Being a gangster has become so negative.
What's in this? Ingredients the witch used to make your doll.
Fingernail clippings, hair.
There's your cufflinks.
Old cigar? Yeah, probably for the saliva.
A cotton ball with my blood on it from when I got cut shaving.
This is starting to get creepy.
Think about it.
How was the witch able to get these things? It had to come from someone who's very close to you.
Now, does anyone here want to say something? Anyone? He's doing it again, boss.
He's questioning my loyalty.
No, no, he's merely thinking out loud, my friend.
Relax.
Oh, no.
I'm definitely questioning his loyalty.
Benny was there every time anything happened, so you gotta think that maybe-- Oh, my God.
Oh, ow, ow, ow.
Ohh God, I thought you were dead! Ah, the bullet was a dud.
It was sort of a dud.
It was duddish.
Who shot you? It was an accidental discharge.
You're totally lying.
Plus saved by the good witch.
You got shot? He's not dead.
Are you sure? Did you check his pulse? I'm not dead.
Can we talk a moment, please? I'm right here.
I'm fine! I got a sponge bath.
What? I told you Walter shouldn't take this case.
Do not berate me, Leo.
The lesser of two evils.
That's what you said.
What's the lesser evil now? Do you know why you're mad? Yeah.
Because you had to shoot a man, and you didn't want to admit you're freaked out, so you talked Walter into taking this stupid case.
No, no, no.
You're mad because you decided not to be there and Walter got shot.
Oh, that's right, my friend.
If you try to guilt me, you better be ready to dig deep for the rebound.
That's not a legitimate sports metaphor, but I get your point.
Yeah.
I get your point, too.
Why do I have to say that I'm freaked out? So your friends know.
My friends already know.
You back in this now? Oh, yeah, I'm in it.
Good.
It's like I got Walter shot and I'm freaked out about that.
Benny was offended when you accused him of betraying me.
Benny.
I apologize for shooting you.
I lost my temper and behaved badly.
Badly? You shot my man Walter in the chest.
I promise not to do it again.
Eh.
And? And I will defend Walter as if he were Mr.
Obispo from now on.
All right.
Oh! And I will pay you $50,000.
Mm-hmm.
a sack of lettuce.
It's blood money.
We don't want it.
Pro bono majordomo.
That box is filled with a lot of Javier's personal items.
Uh, toenail clippings, saliva, missing hair, that sort of thing.
Ow.
Like it or not, that implicates you.
If you reach for your gun, I'll snap your arm off and beat you to death with it.
Benny isn't the only one with implications.
I'm his brother.
What are you talking about? A half-brother.
You think I'd betray you? Huh? Benny! Shoot him again! Mr.
Obispo says no.
And a word to the wise to you, you shoot him, I gotta shoot you.
Luis, you argue with me all the time, always advising me to kill all my enemies.
It's very bloodthirsty.
That's because I'm-- what do you call it? Devil's advocate.
Yes! It's my role to make you look at all sides of each matter.
Your side is the "kill everybody" side.
It's very 1990s.
How did you get paralyzed? I got shot.
Why? Was it Javier's fault? It wasn't my fault.
He got shot by a Dominican.
You sent me to that meeting, hermano.
Oh, so now you're gonna blame me for what is basically a job hazard.
You see what he does? He pits brother against brother.
Uh uh uh uh.
Huh? Oh, you're gonna shoot me now.
Well, I don't want him to rip my arm off.
Put it away.
Put it away.
Hermano, we don't need them.
We don't need outsiders Go sit down over there.
We don't need-- we don't need outsiders Maybe I don't have to shoot him.
It wasn't me.
And we're back.
Did somebody shoot me again? No.
The doctor says a large subdural hematoma from the previous injury burst.
Until you find your Voodoo-- Willa.
Little more.
- A little more.
- You need to-- you need to wear this at all times.
Willa thinks the Scorpion Witch is still alive and that she's made a Voodoo doll of you.
Just think on it.
There's no other rational explanation.
You need to look up rational in your word of the day.
You gotta stop looking for Javier's Voodoo doll and find your own.
Willa, I saw the Scorpion Witch dead.
So did I.
La bruja was right.
You people have no sense of the spirit world.
Now, can you get me out of here? Absolutely not.
It's a bad idea.
Buddy, bad ideas are sort of my thing.
Come on.
Here we go.
Yo.
Ohh yeah.
Do you believe in Voodoo? Not exactly.
Not exactly? I believe in the mysteries of the universe and the capacities of the human mind.
Well, I don't believe in Voodoo.
I don't believe in zombies.
Every time someone commits an evil deed, they lose a piece of their soul.
Eventually you're left with a zombie.
Now, that's a metaphor.
I'm not afraid of metaphors.
Walter, there are things worth fearing.
This one I don't get.
It's a motive machine.
Believe me, when it comes to Javier Obispo, everybody has a motive.
That's why we need the super computer.
A super computer made up of hoses, a bicycle wheel, and bowling pins.
Our spirit guide.
Now, I drop it in the top, and it leads down the labyrinth to the minotaur, where the first fork in the labyrinth leads to business, political, and personal.
Personal.
A Voodoo doll is about revenge, so that makes sense.
As the ball drops, the computer does dozens of calculations, taking into account means, motive, opportunity, who could get blood, who could get the picture into Javier's jacket, who hates the Armenians, who can climb stairs, what alliances could occur, and do the asians know the gypsies? Here we go.
Hey, is that me? Your family pays Javier Obispo just like every other criminal organization.
It's gonna be the ex-wife.
it's the chubby assistant.
The good witch? La Bruja? What motive does she have? Isabel, I need you to check the police records and see if there's a link between Javier Obispo and the good witch.
Yeah, I know it's the police records again.
Really? We're gonna believe this contraption? Oh.
Yore happy to believe in Voodoo dolls but not in advanced science? I'll go with you.
Not a good idea.
La Bruja hates men.
Police records show that your son Marvial was killed last year.
He was only 17.
Marvial was part of a street gang called the Legion Park Kings.
Paid their fine to Javier Obispo, and your son was killed.
My beautiful boy.
He die in the street, in the gutter.
And now, you want to help Javier Obispo, despite his evil? There are people worse than Javier.
A bad man is a bad man.
She's been talking to Leo.
And a man who helps a bad man, he is a bad man.
Wow, Willa was right.
She made a Voodoo doll of me.
You made a Voodoo doll of Walter? Forget that.
Where's Javier Obispo's doll? - Where is Walter's doll? - I refuse to help you.
People are dying because of you.
Ach.
If you mean the Scorpion Witch, the world is better without her.
A priest is dead, too.
Is the world a better place without him? And what about the cop who's in the hospital struggling to live? Are his wife and child better off without him? I had to shoot a young man.
He was somebody's son.
Just like your boy.
I killed him.
Oh, my God.
Really? You expect me to feel that? This is not the doll I'm looking for.
I do not have what it is that you want.
So who does? It's not my idea.
A man come to me.
This man say, I give you the chance to make the world a better place.
So you made a Voodoo doll of Javier Obispo.
What man? I don't know his name.
This man, he's in a wheelchair.
Thank you.
Be very careful, eh? There is a ritual for disposing of this doll.
Shocker.
I still have all my arms and legs.
This one, he pays no heed to the spirit world.
Eh? Leo says you're freaked out about killing that guy.
Me freaking out isn't like normal people freaking out.
It's like normal people burping.
But, Leo's right.
I sort of forced you into this case because I was quietly burping, on the inside.
This case sucks.
Everybody involved is an awful human being.
Cops deal with awful human beings all the time.
Sometimes we have to shoot them.
Your head tells you that.
Right? You know what I mean.
Like Leo says to kill someone, you gotta give up a piece of your soul.
You don't want that feeling to go away.
I sort of do want that feeling to go away.
If that happens to you, then you let go of the rest of your soul.
Metaphorically.
And I lost you.
I need to know what real estate holding Obispo has downwind of the sewage plant on Virginia key.
Why? That's where Luis buried the Voodoo doll.
Because? Because it stinks bad enough you can't smell the dead bodies.
There's bodies buried there? Give Leo and I 24 hours, get a search warrant.
What is this place? It's a warehouse near the sewage plant on Virginia key.
They kill someone, bury them here, then they're never seen again.
Yeah.
That lesser evil's looking less and less lesser.
You think the doll's under that concrete? No.
That takes teamwork.
Luis didn't want anybody to know what he was doing.
He came here alone.
He can't dig from the wheelchair or use a cement mixer.
I gotta absorb the vibe, man.
Walter.
Walter! It's been 6 hours.
What? Wow.
You really are tall.
Leo, I've been going about this all the wrong way.
I've been looking down, but a guy in a wheelchair A guy in a wheelchair always has to look up.
You see the concrete smear? Hand me that shovel.
Now, Luis would have to do the same thing.
How did he get the doll in there? Booyah! Now, I'm guessing Luis would have to do that a few more times due to my physical prowess.
You found it.
I didn't think you'd find it.
Well, well, Luis.
I thought you said Luis worked alone.
Well, he did on the doll part.
Luis wants his brother's business but he didn't want to kill him.
Unfortunately, killing us isn't a problem.
The doll-- give it to me.
Aah! I paid you to kill him.
Now kill him! Aah! Uhh! Consider this-- you attack Walter and give me a chance to kill you-- a better idea would be to kill me first, then take care of Walter.
Hey, I think you impugned my manhood, by the way.
Icepick--taking this job was a bad idea.
I'm a paid killer.
Javier is bad for business.
Leo, careful.
He's got an endless supply of those things.
You know I could have done that.
All right, firstly, sin of pride.
Your term, not mine.
And secondly, you're welcome.
What are you gonna tell my brother? There you go.
Oh, that's adorable.
Cheese! Ah, I'd make a run for it if I were you.
It's the doll.
You found it.
It's what I do.
But I forgot to tell you that when I look for something, generally I find things the client doesn't really want to find.
What? I'd like to leave here before you open this box.
You have my word.
Ohh.
Boss it was Luis.
That ain't good.
Get the guys together.
We're gonna need more cement.
All right.
Now, given the chance, do you strangle Hitler in his crib? No.
Of course you do.
It's Hitler.
No, because he's not Hitler.
Oh, he's most definitely Hitler.
Is says so right on his little baby wrist tag.
I mean, whatever happened to that little baby to turn him into Hitler has not yet happened.
All right, so let's say he becomes Hitler in what? Kindergarten? Then do you strangle him? Now, I say yes if he's got the mustache.
It's kindergarten.
He doesn't have the mustache.
Ok, wait.
How do you know he wasn't born evil? These questions make my brain hurt.
Good.
That means you have a soul.
If we can all stop talking about Hitler for just a second, the good news is, Gillespie is gonna make it.
All right.
Happy ending.
But Luis Obispo is missing.
Walter can tell you where to find his body.
You can? Check the warehouse.
What about the scary icepick maniac? I'm sure he's buried in the same place.
You know, I hope so.
After we embarrassed him, he might hold a grudge.
I don't think so.
He's a professional.
He kills for pay.
Leo, say that thing that dude wrote down.
Lao Tzu says; "The world is won by those who let it go.
" Mm-hmm.
Now, how about this? Do we harvest organs from death row executions? Absolutely.
Waste not, want not.
Yeah, buddy.
Oh, God, my brain's gonna explode.
That's right.
This is life.
Life is designed to make your brain explode.
That's why we have brains.
Too deep for all of y'all.
