Anything on the trafficking? This guy's not running hookers, he's using them.
Go on.
Well most of the men in that place are screwing hookers, but Cheat's not supplying them.
So if he's not, then why are we even investigating him? Sarah, honey, I know what you know.

Miss Michelle.
There he is.
Ray? You gonna watch this? Blake Silver.
- Excuse me? - Your VP of sales, he's your first problem.
And you are? He's not happy.
It could either be the falling price of your stock options or maybe he thinks he should be Senior VP by now.
Either way every Friday night he blows off steam at a place called Caroline's.
He parks with the valet.
Spends a few hundred on drinks, a few thousand on strippers.
Mostly on a blonde by the name of Candy.
Candy's got this dazzling white smile and a BA in biology from Santa Cruz.
And while Blake's in the VIP room MRP Your competitors, Mr.
Milton.
They're paying off the valets.
And taking photographs of your R and D files.
Here, take a look.
We did it ourselves just to show you how easy it is.
Johnny, can I have what he's having please? Thank you.
- Think he's gonna bite? - Oh, Phillip Durden.
Well, he's your night security watchman.
He spends about 6-8 minutes patrolling your premises and You see, Phil is getting off but your competitors, well they're getting in.
Who are you? Ethan Kelly.
Here's my card.
You like this place? This club? We do all the security for it.
Vetted their employees It's just one of the many things that we do.
We like to look after people.
People like yourself.
That Mickey Mouse security team that you have on retainer they got lazy.
You're leaking like a sieve.
You hire my company and we'll plug those holes.
Thanks for the drink.
Come on.
(Phone ringing) (Laughs) I knew this would work! - Hey, Tommy.
- Good mornin', ma'am.
- Hey! - Hey.
So, Sarah made contact and our target, Danny Chechowski, also known as, Cheat, turns out he started up a company with three of his buddies some kind of corporate security, "Excelsior Intelligence".
The other partners, Ethan Kelly, this guy Ray Williams, and Brian Cacelle, AKA Spud.
So these guys all served in Afghanistan, seven years, - multiple deployments.
- Is that where they met? Uh, they were never in the same unit So this guy Cacelle, he's got a wife and a baby.
Ray Williams, two daughters.
Ethan Kelly, like Chechowski, never married.
So for the last four years, tax returns have them employed - at a company called, Blue Vine.
- Private security? Well we don't know yet, but yeah, it's a possibility.
Or Blue Vine is a cover for a drugs ring.
I mean these guys spent the last four years, in and out of the country on extended visits to the Middle East Islamabad, Dubai.
Then twelve months ago they come home for good via Amsterdam.
This is good work.
- Is that it? - You want a gold star? Sarah's not happy.
I'm sorry to hear that.
She thinks she's being lied to.
We're not investigating Chechowski for running hookers, are we? Come on.
If you're endangering my agent by not giving me the full facts, I don't know if I want to do this.
Grace, I want you to get Sarah into Cheat's apartment.
We need it bugged.
Sarah's not happy? You're her handler.
Handle her.
(Hammering) And I have to report to her? - I think it's dead.
- And she looks like this fuckin' Fox News reject.
You know? (Laughs) - No really! It's not funny.
- No, it's not I'm not laughing.
She's just this bureaucrat.
She's a bureaucrat and, and she's going to tell me how to do my job? From behind her desk? How long is this assignment going to go on for, right? You'll get through it! - This friend of mine - The barista? Yeah, the barista.
She posts online making fun of her boss This-a, chicken, by the way, really good.
Very tender.
- It's cause his breath stinks! - Halitosis, but that's disgusting! Yes.
But she totally forgets - and she just friended him online the week before.
- Oh, boy! So he reads the post, next thing he comes in, walks right up to her and he just like (Grunts) - You're fired! - That is disgusting.
What? - Nothing! - Nothing.
I saw that - What's going on? - What? What are you two conspiring about? - Nothing - It's nothing really! Nothing.
- No, tell me! - It's nothing, it's just some Shelley's pregnant.
How long? Three months.
Was it planned? Grace, now, come on it Whoa! No, no, no.
Where are you going? - My room.
- No, come on You're part of this family Sit down! Did you know? I asked her not to say anything.
Was it planned? - Does it make any difference? - Tom? - It doesn't make any difference.
- How could you do that? - How could I do what? - It's okay.
How is it so easy for you? Grace, none of this is easy for me.
And I am not trying to replace Sam.
Well I wish that had gone better.
Yeah, me too.
(Sighs) I gotta get home.
- OK.
- I'll see you Saturday, alright? I love you.
(Sniffs) (Crying) (Footsteps approaching) (Sighs) Where do they want these? Cheat's place.
Which means they want me to fuck him.
- I did not say that.
- No.
So what, I show up to his place, knock on his door, and bring him a piece of pie? And talk to him about his addiction to blow and his thing for strangling hookers? Yeah, that's gonna work! It means they want me to fuck him.
You know Shit I always think this shit's going to be different.
- Look, every UC has their line.
- Yeah, what's yours? You think they ask the guys to go down on some fat fuck just to deepen their cover? (Sighs) Somehow I thought having a female handler was going to be better.
- Then just say no! - I can't! I already have two strikes - Wait, what do you mean? - Like you give a fuck!? You know what? Just do your job.
Yeah, alright.
You know, I gotta go feed my dog.

I know, but I can be a real dick sometimes, so I'm sorry.
We all can.

I wouldn't either.
Good night.

- How could you possibly understand? - I wanna help you move on.
What? Now? - Don't get angry.
- Oh, no.

Your father died and I had to move on.
You moved on a long time before dad died.
That's grief talking.

CHEAT: I find that hard to believe.
CHEAT: Come on, we go grab a drink, maybe you can tell me about it.
(Phone ringing) (Phone beeps) (Sighs) Sarah.
Listen.
You don't need to do this.
Let me go back to Lene and we can figure something else out.

Next time I'll be more punctual.
(Sighs) Why do we always have to meet here? - 'Cause we like playin' golf.
- Whatever, Tiger Woods.
So last night I am nailing this sweet, little thing and right when I'm about to bust a nut, you want to know what she did? - No.
- No.
Seriously, you don't want to know? No, the details of your high class-romantic life hardly make polite conversation.

- Need some new wheels? - I was thinking a Mustang, maybe.
You know? - GT Premium, maybe a Shelby GT 500? - Oh, yeah? Yeah? - How much do they run? - Oh, I don't know.
Sticker on the GT is 40k, the Shelby runs at 59k and change.

Pay that motherfucker, Chinese landlord his rent.
How much do you think we got left, genius? Zero.
We got 16 months 'til we break even.
- Yup - Nobody's spending any money.
- Is that understood? - Yeah.
Good.
Maybe you should start thinking about a Fiesta or a Ford Focus or something Fuck you, Spud.
Oh, yeah.
Am I the only one who's gonna say it? Jesus! (Electronic music playing) (Music continues) (Music continues) (Music stops) - Everything OK? - Yeah, just assholes who don't tip.
