White Collar s02e01 Episode Script
BCW201 - Withdrawal
Previously on White Collar: Neal Caffrey's one of the world's best art forgers.
Kate says adiós to you in prison and gets busy with her disappearing act.
- Missed her by two days.
- Gonna give you four years for this.
You can get me out.
There's case law, precedent.
Understand how this works? I've been released into FBI custody under your supervision.
This thing chafed my leg.
- Who is that? Garrett Fowler.
I give you the box, I never hear from you again.
- That's my price.
Kate's waiting for you.
This music box, what happens if he gets it? I don't know.
Need to make sure he doesn't.
- Put your gun down.
- Drop the weapon.
- Put the gun down, now.
- Drop the weapon.
Neal will disappear.
I need to know where he is.
Give me the drive.
You want me to upload this to D.
C? Airstrip by the Hudson, Hangar 4.
Peter.
The jet exploded.
Neal Caffrey is a felon.
Will you explain the deal you had with him? He was serving the remainder of a four-year sentence under my supervision.
He was wearing an electronic monitoring anklet with a two-mile range? Yes.
But he wasn't wearing it at the time the plane exploded? No.
Do you believe that Mr.
Caffrey was attempting to flee the country? No.
He cut a deal with the Office of Professional Responsibility.
That allowed him Do you believe Mr.
Caffrey wanted to kill Kate Moreau? That's ridiculous.
No.
Do you believe someone wanted Caffrey dead? Neal was a felon.
He was convicted of bond forgery.
As you can see in those files he was suspected of doing a hell of a lot of other things.
Yeah, Neal was a pain in the ass.
So did somebody from that past want him dead? Maybe.
But he also helped me clear a 93-percent conviction rate.
And that makes enemies too.
But I don't think any of this explains why the jet exploded.
You want an answer to that, ask Garrett Fowler.
Fowler, the OPR agent you shot.
He was wearing a vest.
- Talk to him.
- Right now we're talking to you.
Why don't we go back over the timeline again? Well? I'm off suspension, but hanging by a thread.
What have you got? Fowler was handed over to OPR two days ago, then not a trace.
They're hiding him somewhere.
Anything off his hard drive? Good and bad news.
I hacked it, but the data self-corrupted.
A self-eating virus.
What's the good news? I was able to recover one entry.
A date, a time and a place.
Think Fowler set up a meeting? He's expecting something to happen at 12th and Watershed 2 months from now.
Two months.
I should be there.
- I'll put it on your calendar.
- Glad to have you back.
Hey, where you going? - To see an old friend.
Report to Interview Room 4.
- How are you? - They don't let me wear ties.
Overrated.
- Food's as bad as I remember.
- Coffee? - Instant.
Cruel and unusual.
- New suit.
- Heh.
Yeah.
They give you your badge back? Yeah.
Justice finished its inquiry.
Then why am I still here? - They think I blew up the plane? - They don't know.
- What do they suspect? - You were trying to escape.
Escape? Fowler disappeared.
OPR is denying Mentor existed.
I got paperwork that proves it did.
Yeah, and I've been reminded you're one of the best forgers on the planet.
Listen, there's a chance I can reinstate our deal.
- Put the anklet back on? - They've got a new one.
- Not supposed to chafe as much.
- Wow, that sounds like a great deal.
- From one prison to another.
- Overstating that a little.
I'll let you wear ties.
- Coffee? - Negotiable.
- One thing.
If we do this again - I have to know who killed Kate.
I'll find out.
I'll tell you.
That's how it works.
- Can I get back to you? - You're looking at three and change.
Your only choice is to serve out your time with me or rot in this place.
I'm gonna have to interrupt this meeting, gentlemen.
The defendant has requested the presence of his attorney.
Talk some sense into him.
We'll take that under advisement, suit.
- What sense am I talking into you? - Peter offered me my old deal.
- The anklet? - Mm-hm.
- Tempted? - I'm open to exploring my options.
I can get you out of here, but it will cost.
- It will deplete most of your reserves.
- I can always get cash.
What do you wanna do? Hi, I'm Nick.
Nick Halden.
- Today's my first day.
- We're not expecting any new employees.
Brittany in H.
R.
said my welcome badge and packet would be ready for me.
Nobody told me about any of this.
Hang on.
I'm sorry about that.
Welcome packet's right here.
All right.
Looks like me.
- Come on in, Nick.
- Okay.
Yeah, just - Yeah, there.
- Like this? - Am I fired already? - First day glitches.
- Gotcha.
- Here you go.
Thank you.
Oh, you got a little something.
It's lint right here.
Got it, some lint.
- I hope you like it here.
- Oh, so far, so good.
I hope you're not planning on walking with that.
No law against thinking about it.
- Jones.
- Neal.
Yeah, it looks like it's all here.
All right, let's go tell our branch managers their bank isn't secure.
Let's do it.
- It's good to have you back.
It's good to be back.
Uh, Neal.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome home.
Right on the car? Oh, come on.
It's just a shoe.
Morning, gentlemen.
All Midtown Mutual Banks have similar layouts and use the same security system.
- Miss Renee Simmons Gentlemen.
- who's in charge of security for your branches requested that we conduct a test on that security.
Would you please tell us why this is necessary? We found several flaws.
Hi.
Mm-mm-mm.
That's a lot of money.
Basement access let me bypass the metal detectors at the entrances.
Teller cages are protected, but your employees need to be vigilant.
Staff should wear badges around their neck.
Clipped to their waist, too easy to lift.
The old dye packs you're using are too easy to spot.
And, guys, the passcodes need to change daily, not weekly.
Each of you have received a card like this in the past week from someone calling himself The Architect.
We believe this is the same person who has hit banks in Dallas, Chicago and Boston.
If he's operating under the same m.
o one of your vaults will be emptied within a week.
That's why it's necessary.
So let's strategize.
That went great.
I'm sure they'll sleep soundly tonight.
So, what do I tell them when they start to panic? Tell them that we're shoring up their security and that the Bureau is on it.
Did that help in Dallas, Chicago and Boston? This is New York.
We'll catch him.
I hope so.
"We'll catch him.
" Your halftime speech? - You could've said something.
- This guy is amazing, all right? - Dallas was good, Chicago, a work of art.
- Boston? - I still don't know how he did Boston.
- Really? Well, we better figure out how, because I do not want to add Manhattan to that list.
- You holding up? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm holding up.
- You sure? - Yeah.
- I'm gonna - Mm-hm.
Where are you? We agreed on a protocol.
Are you using a voice changer? You sit on the bench, open The Times to the international section.
- That's what we agreed on.
- You're using a voice changer.
Unbelievable.
- I don't see a newspaper open.
- Get over here.
It's your dime, suit.
- How's Neal doing? - You spend as much time with him as I do.
I need him.
I am counting on him.
A lot of people are counting on him.
And I don't need him going Section Eight on me.
He's not exactly forthcoming.
Kate's only been dead two months.
No one can snap back that fast.
The two of you aren't looking into what happened at that airport? The question was, "How's he doing?" - Not, "What is he doing?" - All right, then what do you think? Quid pro quo.
All right.
He's got the shakes.
He's flashing back to that moment in his mind and he's freaking out about it.
Your turn.
As you may imagine, he's a little curious as to who may have killed Kate.
Does he think whoever killed her was trying to kill him? It's crossed his mind.
All right, I'll keep looking into things on my side.
Until you hear from me, let's keep him busy.
We've got a good case now.
Let's keep him working on that.
- How do I do that? - You're his friend.
You'll figure it out.
I kept everything as you left it.
- Exactly as I left it, I see.
- Oh, welcome back.
I couldn't bear the thought of you at that motel.
Besides, you can't imagine how quiet it is around here without you.
- I like a little, uh, excitement now and then.
- Me too.
Thank you, June.
- Of course.
Let's see it.
- There's a lot.
- I know.
This is everything? Yeah.
Everything on your search for Kate, Fowler, Mentor.
- You heard from Alex? - No.
Since the explosion, she's been laying low.
Can't blame her.
She'll surface.
What about the music box? - According to the log, the new lady suit - That would be Diana.
Diana logged it into evidence in your New York office after Peter recovered it from Fowler.
I wanna see if it's there.
Whoever blew up the plane wants that box.
They're not gonna let it sit in an evidence locker collecting dust.
We find the person who wants the box, we find who killed Kate.
The Architect.
That's an excellent sobriquet.
- Is this your first case back? - Yeah.
- I need a new nickname.
- Mozzie's not cutting it anymore? What about, um, The Question? Or perhaps The Skeptic? Conman? - The Architect, he's a bank robber? - A good one.
Since when are you concerned with FBI cases? Uh, since you started spiraling into the dark place.
And as you may remember, I have colluded on a bank heist or two in my day.
Come on.
What do we got? All right.
Three clean jobs in five years.
No trail, no evidence.
All we have are these business cards.
Embossed.
Very classy.
What do make of the A? I don't recognize the typeface.
Forensics doesn't either.
That speaks to a high degree of hubris.
Mm-hm.
What do you think? The elongated slant, it could be a Cyrillic influence.
A bit of Russian.
Mm-hm.
If you left a calling card, how'd you sign it? I'd never leave a card.
It's way too brazen.
Would you? Of course you would.
The better question is, if you were him, what card would you leave? Morning.
Found something on the card.
I'll take Obscure Russian Painters for 1000.
The A has a definite Cyrillic influence.
Well, our tech guys already cracked that one.
If The Architect is a mad Russian, that doesn't narrow down our list of possibles.
Not a Russian, but a fan of Russian painting.
Ivan Aivazovsky.
Look at his signature.
Oh, look at that.
Got it.
Look at you two working together, that teamwork.
We dug up every auction to see who's been bidding on Aivazovskys.
Excellent.
That's a pretty thick list.
What if we cross-reference people with a business connection in Dallas, Chicago? Right here.
- Yeah, the list gets shorter.
One name.
Edward Walker.
- Let's go have a visit.
- Let's do it.
Good work.
Good work.
Mr.
Walker, these gentlemen are with the FBI.
If you're here to give me a ticket for hitting balls into the Hudson, I'll write you a check.
- Whitney, get me my checkbook.
- The Bureau doesn't give tickets.
Well, in that case, Whitney, get my golf permit, will you? I'm Special Agent Peter Burke.
This is my consultant, Neal Caffrey.
What do you consult on, Mr.
Caffrey? Investigations that involve my areas of expertise.
- What areas are those? - It's a long list.
Here, try a swing.
- No, thanks.
Oh, when was the last time you got a chance to hit a golf ball off the top of the world? Oh, okay.
- You recognize this? Oh, I'm not an architect.
No, you're just a hedge fund manager with too much time on his hands.
- Well, having a hobby is not illegal, is it? - Depends on the hobby.
Is there something specific I can help you with, Agent Burke? Contemporary Russian art.
Got any Aivazovskys? Three.
You thinking about stealing one? It's that device on your ankle.
You must have been some kind of criminal for the FBI to wanna keep you so close.
I was.
Ooh, you sliced that one over into the Chelsea Pier.
You know, my permit doesn't cover that.
I understand you have offices in Dallas, Chicago and Boston.
I have offices in most major cities around the world.
Could you tell me where you were on April 19th of last year? Off the top of my head? I have no idea.
But my assistant could look it up for me.
Whitney keeps my calendar.
Uh, April 19th? Oh, of course, I know exactly where I was and I would be happy to tell you providing you can get a warrant based on some bizarre connection you've made between me, an anonymous card and random questions about Russian art.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I, uh, have too much time on my hands.
Whitney can show you out.
Oh, and Mr.
Caffrey, a suggestion for the next time you commit a crime.
Don't get caught.
And on your backswing, just keep it smooth.
Ah.
- Did Walker get to you? Nope.
But I hope he did it.
Be fun to arrest him.
- He got to you.
Don't do anything stupid.
- I won't.
Don't tell me it's not a possibility.
We are under a ton of scrutiny here.
- Both of us.
- Got it.
So why would somebody like him do it? He doesn't need the money.
Guy's chipping golf balls off skyscrapers.
You said it.
He's bored.
So he's gonna risk prison for an adrenaline rush? - Yeah.
- Hmm.
I'm gonna head back to the office and grab a late bite with EI.
- We're done for the day.
- Tell Elizabeth I say hi.
- Neal, nothing stupid.
- Nothing stupid.
Talk to the FAA.
We need flight records, commercial and private.
Wanna know if Walker was in Dallas, Chicago or Boston the dates of the robberies.
- Done.
I'll run credit cards, phone records.
Maybe get him making a call or place him at a hotel.
- Let me know what you find.
I checked your calendar.
Fowler's mystery meeting is in three days.
These are the locations? Very little foot traffic, no cameras, several alley exit points.
- I see why Fowler picked it.
- I'm gonna be there.
We both should be.
- Ooh! - Oh, sorry.
Oh, God.
- These tables are so close Hey.
Whitney.
- Mr.
Caffrey? - Please, Neal, Neal.
- Great.
That's what I love about New York.
Small world.
Please, sit down.
Join me? - Sure? - Please, sit down.
Cape Cod? What a relief to meet someone else who's over the Hamptons.
I know.
I always felt like I was in a Fitzgerald novel.
Maybe it's because I'm not from New York.
Kindred ex-patriot.
Would you like another glass of wine? Yeah, let's.
You know, this is nice.
It is nice.
- Live here, you forget what's in front of you.
- Yeah.
Ha, ha.
- How's Neal doing? - Great.
- As far as he says.
- He's putting up a façade, huh? Of course he is.
It's his natural state.
Problem is I don't know how bad it is.
What do you think? Think he went through one hell of a trauma.
I also think if he was ready for a straitjacket he'd be grinning and saying, "Peter, you have to trust me.
" Well, it's gonna take him some time to become himself again.
You prefer Nantucket over Martha's Vineyard? - Yeah, it's a sentimental thing.
- Absolutely.
- Let's go international.
Oh, Maldives, hands down.
Those turquoise waters are unreal.
- That an acceptable answer? Very good.
- Mine's the Seychelles.
- Yeah? - You know the sand's actually pink? - Wow.
Yeah, it's actually pink.
Wow.
I'm gonna get you another drink, but when I come back, European cities.
And you are not allowed to say Barcelona.
Ooh.
Ha-ha-ha.
- Does he know? - Not how bad it is.
Well, he knows that we're under enhanced scrutiny by the Bureau.
What he doesn't know is if we drop a case, I'm collecting unemployment and he's using pictures of Macaulay Culkin for money.
There was this moment right before the plane exploded.
Neal was walking away from me.
He stopped and he turned around and he was about to say something.
Then - What do you think he was gonna say? - I don't know.
- Do you think he was gonna stay? - And leave Kate? - I don't know.
Doesn't matter.
- Well, I think it matters.
Why? It's kind of a moot point now.
It matters to you.
Copied her SIM card.
Too bad you're conning this one.
She's cute.
Yeah, I noticed.
- Be cruel to be kind.
- You're right.
Truth hurts, Mozz.
I have gotta show you these photos from Morocco.
They're in my phone.
- Which is in my giant handbag somewhere.
- Maybe it's on the table.
- I always leave my stuff right in front of me.
Could be.
No, it's in here.
- Here it is.
There you go.
Um You know, do you wanna look at these back at my place? - Where's that? - Gramercy Park.
- Yeah, that's within my radius.
- Your what? Oh, um Heh.
- Is that a tracking anklet? - Electronic monitoring anklet actually.
It's a funny story though.
A couple years ago, feds came after me for everything from art theft to counterfeiting.
They only got me on bond forgery.
- I thought you worked for the FBI.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, with Peter.
He caught me.
Both times.
Anyway, this is a big day for me.
You're the first girl I've had a drink with since I got out of prison.
- Wow.
- That's not a problem, is it? Or? I should really go.
Okay.
Is it something I said? Are you? You know where to find me.
Ha, ha.
Have a good one.
Neal Caffrey on paper, not so great.
It's a lot to process.
- Well, at least we got Walker's calendar.
- Anything? On the days of the previous bank heists, his itinerary is highlighted in green.
- Usually it's blue.
- Green for money.
Oh, really? The symbolism had escaped me.
- Look at tomorrow.
- Got a meeting at First Unity Bank at noon.
Marked in green.
I think we got him.
You happened to run into her and then she invited you for a drink? Gotta love New York.
Yeah, and then she handed you a copy of her SIM card.
I'm a confidential informant, right? If someone found this on the street and brought it to you, you wouldn't blink.
I told you, nothing stupid.
Word on the street is that Walker's gonna hit the First Unity branch tomorrow at noon.
- You're sure about this? - Oh, yeah.
We've got everybody in position.
- What makes you sure this is the target? - Word on the street.
I don't understand.
Why don't you think this bank's secure? They haven't had time to install the security we recommended.
- Been inside? - I'm very thorough.
Well, we've reset the vault doors in all of our locations to change daily.
No way they're getting in there without the codes.
These guys have bravado.
Dallas was hit at 9 a.
m.
Chicago, at the lunch hour.
What? - The northwest guard takes lunch at noon.
That's their point of entry.
Team one is clear.
Vault stairwell, clear.
What do we got? Sound-activated alarm was triggered.
I got no visual.
Accessing vault.
- Do you see anyone? Nobody down here.
Could've disabled the detectors, bypassed those cameras.
All units go.
Find out what triggered that alarm.
We're moving in.
Move it, move it.
We got something inside the vault.
You're not gonna believe this.
Meet me outside.
Jones, take the monitor.
- What's going on? - This one of your tests? - What do you mean? - That was inside a safety-deposit box.
- Whose name was on the box? - Peter Burke.
Someone's messing with you, Burke.
In the future, don't waste my time.
Don't waste my men's time.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Agent Burke and his personal criminal consultant.
What a coincidence.
- Odd seeing you here, Walker.
- Why is that? I have a meeting across the street at Nix Towers.
I guess we missed all the excitement.
Nice clock.
Gentlemen.
- He played me, Peter.
- Yeah.
Now we got problems.
- They've been in there for almost an hour.
Yeah.
- You think we'll lose the case? - We'll be lucky if that's all that happens.
- Come on.
We were set up.
They know that.
- They think Peter should've known that.
This is the FBI, Neal.
We don't act unless we're sure.
Peter trusted your lead.
- So today was a bit of a setback.
- You think? Took me a while to wipe the egg off of my face.
- We can catch this guy.
- This guy is no longer our investigation.
This is bad.
There's something you should know.
When we were at the hangar that day before everything happened, I was gonna tell you something.
What? I didn't wanna run anymore.
If I had gotten on that plane, regardless of whatever deal was made it wouldn't have felt like freedom.
- Why? Because it was an escape.
You're right, Peter.
I have a life here.
If there was something you could've done to protect Kate you would've.
- I would've.
The same way I know you can get Walker.
- Not fun being tweaked by bad guys, is it? - When your friend looks like an idiot.
- What? - Not that you You didn't look - Little bit, yeah.
- You kind of Yeah.
All right, let's start from the top.
Why would he send a card to warn the bank? - To challenge us? - For what purpose? To see if we're on his level.
It's a test.
No fun playing unless you have a worthy opponent.
He wants to see if we're as good.
- Go back.
- What? - You said test.
- To see what we'd do.
- What did we do? - We ran the We ran the security.
We revealed the bank's weaknesses to him.
I wonder if the Bureau had security tests on the other cities' banks before the robberies.
- Who are you calling? - Jones.
Oh, look at that, ESP.
Jones, I was just calling you.
Peter, turn on your TV.
- Why? - Channel 3.
Thirty-six alarms have gone off in banks throughout the city.
There's serious speculation - Every cop in the city must be out there.
- I can't get anybody from N.
Y.
P.
D.
- He's spreading us thin.
- It's another misdirect.
- None of these banks got cards.
- He's going after one of the initial five.
- You got that right.
- Renee changed the codes.
- No one can get in without her.
We gotta find her before someone else does.
Keep the lines of communication open.
- Have a good night.
- You too.
I'm sorry, gentlemen.
We're closed for the night.
You'll have to go now.
Not so fast, lady.
We need to make a withdrawal.
Get your hands off me.
- Let go of me.
Shut up.
Lock those doors.
Almost at First Unity.
- First Unity, where we arrested the clock.
Their alarms are going off again.
Banks in town are being robbed.
I don't think so.
- Think it's a smokescreen? Yup.
Neal and I are headed to Midtown Mutual.
- Midtown's one of the few that's silent.
- Exactly.
If Walker's crew are there, can't go without backup.
Then get us some.
I got a feeling they're going after Renee.
- Okay, I'll find you a SWAT team.
Let's go.
Move it.
You see them? - Yeah, I did.
- Where you going? - Gotta break in.
- Nobody said anything about breaking in.
- Even if we could get through these doors they'd see us.
Go another way.
- There's no other way.
- We sealed off the basement after your test.
- The basement was the easiest way in.
- Easiest? - There's always another way.
Come on, Peter.
- Looks like Walker knew about the roof vent.
- Yeah.
He's got a radio.
- We're gonna have to do this quickly.
Before he alerts the rest of them.
FBI.
Drop your weap So much for taking them alive, sheriff.
- Now he's gonna tell Walker we're up here.
- No, he's not.
Now, drop your weap Let him go.
We gotta get to Renee.
- Good shooting, Butch.
- Thanks, Sundance.
All right, one, two, three.
What do you say? Ready to break into a bank? Were you ever gonna share your alternate access route with me? I just did.
Admit it, Peter.
We'd make a pretty decent team.
- Bank robbers? - I see you smiling.
Come on, the infamous Caffrey and Burke.
We'd be legends.
I can see the wanted posters.
It'd be Burke and Caffrey.
Okay, move.
All right, stand down, guys.
Pack it up.
- More clocks? - They're setting alarms off all over the city.
Now will you listen? We've gotta get to Midtown Mutual.
- That was to be returned to the bank.
- You glad it wasn't? This way, this way.
Open the vault.
I'm trying.
I'm doing my best.
Is it Walker? I can't tell.
I'm trying.
I don't remember.
Four of them, armed, in the vault with Renee.
Take her, put her in her office.
Don't be stingy with the tape.
They're coming back.
There's an emergency exit off the staircase.
Create the distraction, I'll get her to safety? Good idea, but wrong.
I'll get her to safety.
- I know the layout.
- I have a gun.
You get her to safety, I'll create the distraction.
- Good idea.
I need your phone.
- What? - I'm doing a phone thing.
Come on.
Do your thing, Dirty Harry.
Lights out in here.
Check it out.
Make sure SWAT is not outside.
Let's check this out.
She's not going anywhere.
Stay clear of the front windows.
Do you see anybody outside? There's somebody in the building.
We gotta move.
Down here.
Might be a good time for all of you to leave.
Damn it.
We got sirens.
We're all done.
Meet us back here.
- Agent Burke? - Shh! I'm getting you out of here.
We're here.
What took you so long? We're 30 seconds behind schedule.
We have got to move.
Take it.
- Peter.
- Diana knocked some sense into SWAT.
- Get Renee out.
They're out back.
Doesn't matter.
- I'm going after them.
Let them go.
They've got guns.
Neal.
Damn it.
He never listens to me.
- Jones, get me Walker.
I wanna talk to him.
- He's already here.
Oh, I heard what happened at the bank.
I thought I could save you some trouble.
So you're here to confess? I figured you were gonna give me a call, because Mr.
Caffrey has my cell number.
Arthur? You'll find my alibi in there in addition to my company's lawsuit.
Lawsuit? Yes, unwarranted harassment, defamation of character.
And, you know, there's a litany of other charges but, gee, why spoil the surprise? Enjoy this game you're playing.
- It won't end well for you.
- Oh, the game is already over.
This Architect, whoever he is, has already won.
Mr.
Caffrey.
Oh, if I did do it, do you think they would make me a junior FBI agent too? - Wow, that is one arrogant bastard.
- Heh.
That's one way of putting it.
This is gonna be a problem.
Nothing useful on the tapes.
- They were in and out in five minutes.
Gridlocked the city to kill response time.
Plus a perfect exit strategy.
Walker was in control every step of the way.
He wants us to know it.
And that's how we get him.
He can't control his ego.
Vanity is not cause for indictment.
I wasn't bold enough to walk into your office when you were after me.
- I want this guy.
- Hell hath no fury like a fed scorned.
We are facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit from a suspected thief who walked away from the crime scene in broad daylight.
- What, are you saying we're done? - We better not be.
Or I can't stop the DOJ from putting me on the bread line and you behind bars.
While they were chasing ghosts around the city, we were right.
Doesn't matter.
We didn't catch him.
Final tally.
Looks like they got away with 8.
2 million.
- You sure about that? - Jones has excellent penmanship.
Four guys, two Samsonites each.
- How big would you say the briefcases are? - I don't know, 16-by-13.
- Height? - Four, 5 inches.
- Denomination of the bills, all Franklins? - Right.
Hundred bills in a pack.
Volume of each pack, less than 8 inches.
Dimensions don't add up.
We're looking at around $960,000 in each case.
- That's over 6.
5 million total.
- Final tally was 8.
2.
More than a million and a half is unaccounted for.
Sounds like enough to be a share.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
I appreciate your taking the time.
You said you had a theory.
Our faceless friends may have left something behind.
I'd like to re-examine the vault, just in case.
No rest for the weary, huh? Those creeps held a gun to my head.
I'll rest when you catch them.
The team was pretty thorough.
What is it you think that they missed? - Two-thirteen.
- Excuse me? Deposit box 213.
Pretty sure no one's looked in there yet.
It sounds like it's worth a shot.
Uh, I'm sorry.
That's the property of one of our customers.
- You'd need his authorization or a warrant.
- Got this from the bank president.
But the box doesn't belong to one of your customers.
- It belongs to you.
- Ha, ha.
I'm afraid you're mistaken.
No, we did a background check on all the boxes in this vault.
Did you know 213 was rented to your uncle two months ago? - I don't see why that would be a problem.
I do.
He died two years ago.
Either it's a miracle - Or you forged his application.
- My money's on the latter.
Okay, fine.
Uh, why don't you have a look? Wow.
One and a half million dollars in cash.
All right.
Did you know she had a gun? - I did not.
Okay, get the bag.
Put the money in the bag.
Not a bad plan.
Walker leaves your cut.
All you have to do is walk out once the dust settles.
- Pretty good plan, I'd say.
- Except we figured it out.
- You really think you can outrun the FBI? - It's a marathon, not a sprint.
- He'd know.
- Stop talking and put the money in the bag.
That was a pretty nice acting job you did for the cameras.
- Even the best laid plans.
Shut up.
Walker convinced you to help him, didn't he? He convinced me I shouldn't wait 20 years to have a mediocre pension to retire on.
Why wait when I can have three times that? - Because you'll get caught.
- Again, he would know.
Did I tell you to stop? Keep filling the bag.
- Could you stop doing that, please? - What? - Rubbing it in.
It's very hypocritical.
- Well, it's not untrue.
- Hey.
- Okay, you know what? - I'm tired of this.
- Being held hostage? - Bickering with you.
- You're not the only one.
Really? Yeah, really.
Wow.
Okay, maybe it is time for this partnership to end.
Okay, that's fine by me.
I can finally start my novel.
- You can barely write a parking ticket.
- That's very - Hey! Hold on.
- You really want this to end? - Do you? - I'm ready.
- Let's do it.
Shut up! Oh, my eyes.
In here.
We're in here.
- Right there.
Handcuff her.
Oh! - Somebody read her her rights.
Yes, sir.
- Nice job.
- Not so bad yourself.
Mr.
Walker, this just arrived for you.
It's only fair.
You gave us a heads-up.
I'm returning the favor.
This is going to help my lawsuit.
- Mm.
There won't be any lawsuit.
- And why is that? - Your inside woman.
Renee talked.
Why settle for 25-to-life tomorrow when you can plea-bargain today? Oh, next time, don't get caught.
Whitney, call Arthur.
Call the legal team.
Neal? You ready? I am now.
I saw a mockingbird in the park.
You say, "What color is the mockingbird?" I'm doing the newspaper thing.
I'm not doing the stupid bird thing.
- How's he holding up? - Better.
- I'm seeing the old Caffrey coming back.
- Good.
Whatever part you played in it, you did good.
I'm sure you didn't call me down here to tell me how great I did.
- Good.
You did good.
- Great.
Great.
Look, I know he won't tell me everything.
I get that, he's Neal.
I'll keep an eye on him and you.
But that puts me in a position to clean up a mess, not stop it before it happens.
Oh, that's the part you want me to take care of.
Just tell me if he's gonna do anything stupid.
- I can't rat out my friend.
- It's to protect him.
That's the same rationale that was used by the Gestapo and the KGB.
Look at me.
He's my friend too.
- I'll take that under advisement.
- Yeah.
- Mozz.
We gotta talk, mon frère.
- What? - About the box.
Something strange going on with the music box.
The trail starts here.
It was bagged after Forensics held it for two hours in your New York office.
- OPR requested it be transferred to D.
C.
- I knew they wouldn't let it sit still.
Somewhere between here and there, this happened.
That's not the box.
Got a similar shape and coloring.
- It was swapped.
- And the real box is in the wind.
Though we cannot change the direction of the wind, we may adjust our sails.
Well, the question is, which way are we headed? Yeah? - Diana.
You ready for Fowler's mystery meeting? I'm on my way.
I'm right behind you, boss.
Kate says adiós to you in prison and gets busy with her disappearing act.
- Missed her by two days.
- Gonna give you four years for this.
You can get me out.
There's case law, precedent.
Understand how this works? I've been released into FBI custody under your supervision.
This thing chafed my leg.
- Who is that? Garrett Fowler.
I give you the box, I never hear from you again.
- That's my price.
Kate's waiting for you.
This music box, what happens if he gets it? I don't know.
Need to make sure he doesn't.
- Put your gun down.
- Drop the weapon.
- Put the gun down, now.
- Drop the weapon.
Neal will disappear.
I need to know where he is.
Give me the drive.
You want me to upload this to D.
C? Airstrip by the Hudson, Hangar 4.
Peter.
The jet exploded.
Neal Caffrey is a felon.
Will you explain the deal you had with him? He was serving the remainder of a four-year sentence under my supervision.
He was wearing an electronic monitoring anklet with a two-mile range? Yes.
But he wasn't wearing it at the time the plane exploded? No.
Do you believe that Mr.
Caffrey was attempting to flee the country? No.
He cut a deal with the Office of Professional Responsibility.
That allowed him Do you believe Mr.
Caffrey wanted to kill Kate Moreau? That's ridiculous.
No.
Do you believe someone wanted Caffrey dead? Neal was a felon.
He was convicted of bond forgery.
As you can see in those files he was suspected of doing a hell of a lot of other things.
Yeah, Neal was a pain in the ass.
So did somebody from that past want him dead? Maybe.
But he also helped me clear a 93-percent conviction rate.
And that makes enemies too.
But I don't think any of this explains why the jet exploded.
You want an answer to that, ask Garrett Fowler.
Fowler, the OPR agent you shot.
He was wearing a vest.
- Talk to him.
- Right now we're talking to you.
Why don't we go back over the timeline again? Well? I'm off suspension, but hanging by a thread.
What have you got? Fowler was handed over to OPR two days ago, then not a trace.
They're hiding him somewhere.
Anything off his hard drive? Good and bad news.
I hacked it, but the data self-corrupted.
A self-eating virus.
What's the good news? I was able to recover one entry.
A date, a time and a place.
Think Fowler set up a meeting? He's expecting something to happen at 12th and Watershed 2 months from now.
Two months.
I should be there.
- I'll put it on your calendar.
- Glad to have you back.
Hey, where you going? - To see an old friend.
Report to Interview Room 4.
- How are you? - They don't let me wear ties.
Overrated.
- Food's as bad as I remember.
- Coffee? - Instant.
Cruel and unusual.
- New suit.
- Heh.
Yeah.
They give you your badge back? Yeah.
Justice finished its inquiry.
Then why am I still here? - They think I blew up the plane? - They don't know.
- What do they suspect? - You were trying to escape.
Escape? Fowler disappeared.
OPR is denying Mentor existed.
I got paperwork that proves it did.
Yeah, and I've been reminded you're one of the best forgers on the planet.
Listen, there's a chance I can reinstate our deal.
- Put the anklet back on? - They've got a new one.
- Not supposed to chafe as much.
- Wow, that sounds like a great deal.
- From one prison to another.
- Overstating that a little.
I'll let you wear ties.
- Coffee? - Negotiable.
- One thing.
If we do this again - I have to know who killed Kate.
I'll find out.
I'll tell you.
That's how it works.
- Can I get back to you? - You're looking at three and change.
Your only choice is to serve out your time with me or rot in this place.
I'm gonna have to interrupt this meeting, gentlemen.
The defendant has requested the presence of his attorney.
Talk some sense into him.
We'll take that under advisement, suit.
- What sense am I talking into you? - Peter offered me my old deal.
- The anklet? - Mm-hm.
- Tempted? - I'm open to exploring my options.
I can get you out of here, but it will cost.
- It will deplete most of your reserves.
- I can always get cash.
What do you wanna do? Hi, I'm Nick.
Nick Halden.
- Today's my first day.
- We're not expecting any new employees.
Brittany in H.
R.
said my welcome badge and packet would be ready for me.
Nobody told me about any of this.
Hang on.
I'm sorry about that.
Welcome packet's right here.
All right.
Looks like me.
- Come on in, Nick.
- Okay.
Yeah, just - Yeah, there.
- Like this? - Am I fired already? - First day glitches.
- Gotcha.
- Here you go.
Thank you.
Oh, you got a little something.
It's lint right here.
Got it, some lint.
- I hope you like it here.
- Oh, so far, so good.
I hope you're not planning on walking with that.
No law against thinking about it.
- Jones.
- Neal.
Yeah, it looks like it's all here.
All right, let's go tell our branch managers their bank isn't secure.
Let's do it.
- It's good to have you back.
It's good to be back.
Uh, Neal.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome home.
Right on the car? Oh, come on.
It's just a shoe.
Morning, gentlemen.
All Midtown Mutual Banks have similar layouts and use the same security system.
- Miss Renee Simmons Gentlemen.
- who's in charge of security for your branches requested that we conduct a test on that security.
Would you please tell us why this is necessary? We found several flaws.
Hi.
Mm-mm-mm.
That's a lot of money.
Basement access let me bypass the metal detectors at the entrances.
Teller cages are protected, but your employees need to be vigilant.
Staff should wear badges around their neck.
Clipped to their waist, too easy to lift.
The old dye packs you're using are too easy to spot.
And, guys, the passcodes need to change daily, not weekly.
Each of you have received a card like this in the past week from someone calling himself The Architect.
We believe this is the same person who has hit banks in Dallas, Chicago and Boston.
If he's operating under the same m.
o one of your vaults will be emptied within a week.
That's why it's necessary.
So let's strategize.
That went great.
I'm sure they'll sleep soundly tonight.
So, what do I tell them when they start to panic? Tell them that we're shoring up their security and that the Bureau is on it.
Did that help in Dallas, Chicago and Boston? This is New York.
We'll catch him.
I hope so.
"We'll catch him.
" Your halftime speech? - You could've said something.
- This guy is amazing, all right? - Dallas was good, Chicago, a work of art.
- Boston? - I still don't know how he did Boston.
- Really? Well, we better figure out how, because I do not want to add Manhattan to that list.
- You holding up? - Yeah.
Yeah, I'm holding up.
- You sure? - Yeah.
- I'm gonna - Mm-hm.
Where are you? We agreed on a protocol.
Are you using a voice changer? You sit on the bench, open The Times to the international section.
- That's what we agreed on.
- You're using a voice changer.
Unbelievable.
- I don't see a newspaper open.
- Get over here.
It's your dime, suit.
- How's Neal doing? - You spend as much time with him as I do.
I need him.
I am counting on him.
A lot of people are counting on him.
And I don't need him going Section Eight on me.
He's not exactly forthcoming.
Kate's only been dead two months.
No one can snap back that fast.
The two of you aren't looking into what happened at that airport? The question was, "How's he doing?" - Not, "What is he doing?" - All right, then what do you think? Quid pro quo.
All right.
He's got the shakes.
He's flashing back to that moment in his mind and he's freaking out about it.
Your turn.
As you may imagine, he's a little curious as to who may have killed Kate.
Does he think whoever killed her was trying to kill him? It's crossed his mind.
All right, I'll keep looking into things on my side.
Until you hear from me, let's keep him busy.
We've got a good case now.
Let's keep him working on that.
- How do I do that? - You're his friend.
You'll figure it out.
I kept everything as you left it.
- Exactly as I left it, I see.
- Oh, welcome back.
I couldn't bear the thought of you at that motel.
Besides, you can't imagine how quiet it is around here without you.
- I like a little, uh, excitement now and then.
- Me too.
Thank you, June.
- Of course.
Let's see it.
- There's a lot.
- I know.
This is everything? Yeah.
Everything on your search for Kate, Fowler, Mentor.
- You heard from Alex? - No.
Since the explosion, she's been laying low.
Can't blame her.
She'll surface.
What about the music box? - According to the log, the new lady suit - That would be Diana.
Diana logged it into evidence in your New York office after Peter recovered it from Fowler.
I wanna see if it's there.
Whoever blew up the plane wants that box.
They're not gonna let it sit in an evidence locker collecting dust.
We find the person who wants the box, we find who killed Kate.
The Architect.
That's an excellent sobriquet.
- Is this your first case back? - Yeah.
- I need a new nickname.
- Mozzie's not cutting it anymore? What about, um, The Question? Or perhaps The Skeptic? Conman? - The Architect, he's a bank robber? - A good one.
Since when are you concerned with FBI cases? Uh, since you started spiraling into the dark place.
And as you may remember, I have colluded on a bank heist or two in my day.
Come on.
What do we got? All right.
Three clean jobs in five years.
No trail, no evidence.
All we have are these business cards.
Embossed.
Very classy.
What do make of the A? I don't recognize the typeface.
Forensics doesn't either.
That speaks to a high degree of hubris.
Mm-hm.
What do you think? The elongated slant, it could be a Cyrillic influence.
A bit of Russian.
Mm-hm.
If you left a calling card, how'd you sign it? I'd never leave a card.
It's way too brazen.
Would you? Of course you would.
The better question is, if you were him, what card would you leave? Morning.
Found something on the card.
I'll take Obscure Russian Painters for 1000.
The A has a definite Cyrillic influence.
Well, our tech guys already cracked that one.
If The Architect is a mad Russian, that doesn't narrow down our list of possibles.
Not a Russian, but a fan of Russian painting.
Ivan Aivazovsky.
Look at his signature.
Oh, look at that.
Got it.
Look at you two working together, that teamwork.
We dug up every auction to see who's been bidding on Aivazovskys.
Excellent.
That's a pretty thick list.
What if we cross-reference people with a business connection in Dallas, Chicago? Right here.
- Yeah, the list gets shorter.
One name.
Edward Walker.
- Let's go have a visit.
- Let's do it.
Good work.
Good work.
Mr.
Walker, these gentlemen are with the FBI.
If you're here to give me a ticket for hitting balls into the Hudson, I'll write you a check.
- Whitney, get me my checkbook.
- The Bureau doesn't give tickets.
Well, in that case, Whitney, get my golf permit, will you? I'm Special Agent Peter Burke.
This is my consultant, Neal Caffrey.
What do you consult on, Mr.
Caffrey? Investigations that involve my areas of expertise.
- What areas are those? - It's a long list.
Here, try a swing.
- No, thanks.
Oh, when was the last time you got a chance to hit a golf ball off the top of the world? Oh, okay.
- You recognize this? Oh, I'm not an architect.
No, you're just a hedge fund manager with too much time on his hands.
- Well, having a hobby is not illegal, is it? - Depends on the hobby.
Is there something specific I can help you with, Agent Burke? Contemporary Russian art.
Got any Aivazovskys? Three.
You thinking about stealing one? It's that device on your ankle.
You must have been some kind of criminal for the FBI to wanna keep you so close.
I was.
Ooh, you sliced that one over into the Chelsea Pier.
You know, my permit doesn't cover that.
I understand you have offices in Dallas, Chicago and Boston.
I have offices in most major cities around the world.
Could you tell me where you were on April 19th of last year? Off the top of my head? I have no idea.
But my assistant could look it up for me.
Whitney keeps my calendar.
Uh, April 19th? Oh, of course, I know exactly where I was and I would be happy to tell you providing you can get a warrant based on some bizarre connection you've made between me, an anonymous card and random questions about Russian art.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I, uh, have too much time on my hands.
Whitney can show you out.
Oh, and Mr.
Caffrey, a suggestion for the next time you commit a crime.
Don't get caught.
And on your backswing, just keep it smooth.
Ah.
- Did Walker get to you? Nope.
But I hope he did it.
Be fun to arrest him.
- He got to you.
Don't do anything stupid.
- I won't.
Don't tell me it's not a possibility.
We are under a ton of scrutiny here.
- Both of us.
- Got it.
So why would somebody like him do it? He doesn't need the money.
Guy's chipping golf balls off skyscrapers.
You said it.
He's bored.
So he's gonna risk prison for an adrenaline rush? - Yeah.
- Hmm.
I'm gonna head back to the office and grab a late bite with EI.
- We're done for the day.
- Tell Elizabeth I say hi.
- Neal, nothing stupid.
- Nothing stupid.
Talk to the FAA.
We need flight records, commercial and private.
Wanna know if Walker was in Dallas, Chicago or Boston the dates of the robberies.
- Done.
I'll run credit cards, phone records.
Maybe get him making a call or place him at a hotel.
- Let me know what you find.
I checked your calendar.
Fowler's mystery meeting is in three days.
These are the locations? Very little foot traffic, no cameras, several alley exit points.
- I see why Fowler picked it.
- I'm gonna be there.
We both should be.
- Ooh! - Oh, sorry.
Oh, God.
- These tables are so close Hey.
Whitney.
- Mr.
Caffrey? - Please, Neal, Neal.
- Great.
That's what I love about New York.
Small world.
Please, sit down.
Join me? - Sure? - Please, sit down.
Cape Cod? What a relief to meet someone else who's over the Hamptons.
I know.
I always felt like I was in a Fitzgerald novel.
Maybe it's because I'm not from New York.
Kindred ex-patriot.
Would you like another glass of wine? Yeah, let's.
You know, this is nice.
It is nice.
- Live here, you forget what's in front of you.
- Yeah.
Ha, ha.
- How's Neal doing? - Great.
- As far as he says.
- He's putting up a façade, huh? Of course he is.
It's his natural state.
Problem is I don't know how bad it is.
What do you think? Think he went through one hell of a trauma.
I also think if he was ready for a straitjacket he'd be grinning and saying, "Peter, you have to trust me.
" Well, it's gonna take him some time to become himself again.
You prefer Nantucket over Martha's Vineyard? - Yeah, it's a sentimental thing.
- Absolutely.
- Let's go international.
Oh, Maldives, hands down.
Those turquoise waters are unreal.
- That an acceptable answer? Very good.
- Mine's the Seychelles.
- Yeah? - You know the sand's actually pink? - Wow.
Yeah, it's actually pink.
Wow.
I'm gonna get you another drink, but when I come back, European cities.
And you are not allowed to say Barcelona.
Ooh.
Ha-ha-ha.
- Does he know? - Not how bad it is.
Well, he knows that we're under enhanced scrutiny by the Bureau.
What he doesn't know is if we drop a case, I'm collecting unemployment and he's using pictures of Macaulay Culkin for money.
There was this moment right before the plane exploded.
Neal was walking away from me.
He stopped and he turned around and he was about to say something.
Then - What do you think he was gonna say? - I don't know.
- Do you think he was gonna stay? - And leave Kate? - I don't know.
Doesn't matter.
- Well, I think it matters.
Why? It's kind of a moot point now.
It matters to you.
Copied her SIM card.
Too bad you're conning this one.
She's cute.
Yeah, I noticed.
- Be cruel to be kind.
- You're right.
Truth hurts, Mozz.
I have gotta show you these photos from Morocco.
They're in my phone.
- Which is in my giant handbag somewhere.
- Maybe it's on the table.
- I always leave my stuff right in front of me.
Could be.
No, it's in here.
- Here it is.
There you go.
Um You know, do you wanna look at these back at my place? - Where's that? - Gramercy Park.
- Yeah, that's within my radius.
- Your what? Oh, um Heh.
- Is that a tracking anklet? - Electronic monitoring anklet actually.
It's a funny story though.
A couple years ago, feds came after me for everything from art theft to counterfeiting.
They only got me on bond forgery.
- I thought you worked for the FBI.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, with Peter.
He caught me.
Both times.
Anyway, this is a big day for me.
You're the first girl I've had a drink with since I got out of prison.
- Wow.
- That's not a problem, is it? Or? I should really go.
Okay.
Is it something I said? Are you? You know where to find me.
Ha, ha.
Have a good one.
Neal Caffrey on paper, not so great.
It's a lot to process.
- Well, at least we got Walker's calendar.
- Anything? On the days of the previous bank heists, his itinerary is highlighted in green.
- Usually it's blue.
- Green for money.
Oh, really? The symbolism had escaped me.
- Look at tomorrow.
- Got a meeting at First Unity Bank at noon.
Marked in green.
I think we got him.
You happened to run into her and then she invited you for a drink? Gotta love New York.
Yeah, and then she handed you a copy of her SIM card.
I'm a confidential informant, right? If someone found this on the street and brought it to you, you wouldn't blink.
I told you, nothing stupid.
Word on the street is that Walker's gonna hit the First Unity branch tomorrow at noon.
- You're sure about this? - Oh, yeah.
We've got everybody in position.
- What makes you sure this is the target? - Word on the street.
I don't understand.
Why don't you think this bank's secure? They haven't had time to install the security we recommended.
- Been inside? - I'm very thorough.
Well, we've reset the vault doors in all of our locations to change daily.
No way they're getting in there without the codes.
These guys have bravado.
Dallas was hit at 9 a.
m.
Chicago, at the lunch hour.
What? - The northwest guard takes lunch at noon.
That's their point of entry.
Team one is clear.
Vault stairwell, clear.
What do we got? Sound-activated alarm was triggered.
I got no visual.
Accessing vault.
- Do you see anyone? Nobody down here.
Could've disabled the detectors, bypassed those cameras.
All units go.
Find out what triggered that alarm.
We're moving in.
Move it, move it.
We got something inside the vault.
You're not gonna believe this.
Meet me outside.
Jones, take the monitor.
- What's going on? - This one of your tests? - What do you mean? - That was inside a safety-deposit box.
- Whose name was on the box? - Peter Burke.
Someone's messing with you, Burke.
In the future, don't waste my time.
Don't waste my men's time.
Well, well, well, if it isn't Agent Burke and his personal criminal consultant.
What a coincidence.
- Odd seeing you here, Walker.
- Why is that? I have a meeting across the street at Nix Towers.
I guess we missed all the excitement.
Nice clock.
Gentlemen.
- He played me, Peter.
- Yeah.
Now we got problems.
- They've been in there for almost an hour.
Yeah.
- You think we'll lose the case? - We'll be lucky if that's all that happens.
- Come on.
We were set up.
They know that.
- They think Peter should've known that.
This is the FBI, Neal.
We don't act unless we're sure.
Peter trusted your lead.
- So today was a bit of a setback.
- You think? Took me a while to wipe the egg off of my face.
- We can catch this guy.
- This guy is no longer our investigation.
This is bad.
There's something you should know.
When we were at the hangar that day before everything happened, I was gonna tell you something.
What? I didn't wanna run anymore.
If I had gotten on that plane, regardless of whatever deal was made it wouldn't have felt like freedom.
- Why? Because it was an escape.
You're right, Peter.
I have a life here.
If there was something you could've done to protect Kate you would've.
- I would've.
The same way I know you can get Walker.
- Not fun being tweaked by bad guys, is it? - When your friend looks like an idiot.
- What? - Not that you You didn't look - Little bit, yeah.
- You kind of Yeah.
All right, let's start from the top.
Why would he send a card to warn the bank? - To challenge us? - For what purpose? To see if we're on his level.
It's a test.
No fun playing unless you have a worthy opponent.
He wants to see if we're as good.
- Go back.
- What? - You said test.
- To see what we'd do.
- What did we do? - We ran the We ran the security.
We revealed the bank's weaknesses to him.
I wonder if the Bureau had security tests on the other cities' banks before the robberies.
- Who are you calling? - Jones.
Oh, look at that, ESP.
Jones, I was just calling you.
Peter, turn on your TV.
- Why? - Channel 3.
Thirty-six alarms have gone off in banks throughout the city.
There's serious speculation - Every cop in the city must be out there.
- I can't get anybody from N.
Y.
P.
D.
- He's spreading us thin.
- It's another misdirect.
- None of these banks got cards.
- He's going after one of the initial five.
- You got that right.
- Renee changed the codes.
- No one can get in without her.
We gotta find her before someone else does.
Keep the lines of communication open.
- Have a good night.
- You too.
I'm sorry, gentlemen.
We're closed for the night.
You'll have to go now.
Not so fast, lady.
We need to make a withdrawal.
Get your hands off me.
- Let go of me.
Shut up.
Lock those doors.
Almost at First Unity.
- First Unity, where we arrested the clock.
Their alarms are going off again.
Banks in town are being robbed.
I don't think so.
- Think it's a smokescreen? Yup.
Neal and I are headed to Midtown Mutual.
- Midtown's one of the few that's silent.
- Exactly.
If Walker's crew are there, can't go without backup.
Then get us some.
I got a feeling they're going after Renee.
- Okay, I'll find you a SWAT team.
Let's go.
Move it.
You see them? - Yeah, I did.
- Where you going? - Gotta break in.
- Nobody said anything about breaking in.
- Even if we could get through these doors they'd see us.
Go another way.
- There's no other way.
- We sealed off the basement after your test.
- The basement was the easiest way in.
- Easiest? - There's always another way.
Come on, Peter.
- Looks like Walker knew about the roof vent.
- Yeah.
He's got a radio.
- We're gonna have to do this quickly.
Before he alerts the rest of them.
FBI.
Drop your weap So much for taking them alive, sheriff.
- Now he's gonna tell Walker we're up here.
- No, he's not.
Now, drop your weap Let him go.
We gotta get to Renee.
- Good shooting, Butch.
- Thanks, Sundance.
All right, one, two, three.
What do you say? Ready to break into a bank? Were you ever gonna share your alternate access route with me? I just did.
Admit it, Peter.
We'd make a pretty decent team.
- Bank robbers? - I see you smiling.
Come on, the infamous Caffrey and Burke.
We'd be legends.
I can see the wanted posters.
It'd be Burke and Caffrey.
Okay, move.
All right, stand down, guys.
Pack it up.
- More clocks? - They're setting alarms off all over the city.
Now will you listen? We've gotta get to Midtown Mutual.
- That was to be returned to the bank.
- You glad it wasn't? This way, this way.
Open the vault.
I'm trying.
I'm doing my best.
Is it Walker? I can't tell.
I'm trying.
I don't remember.
Four of them, armed, in the vault with Renee.
Take her, put her in her office.
Don't be stingy with the tape.
They're coming back.
There's an emergency exit off the staircase.
Create the distraction, I'll get her to safety? Good idea, but wrong.
I'll get her to safety.
- I know the layout.
- I have a gun.
You get her to safety, I'll create the distraction.
- Good idea.
I need your phone.
- What? - I'm doing a phone thing.
Come on.
Do your thing, Dirty Harry.
Lights out in here.
Check it out.
Make sure SWAT is not outside.
Let's check this out.
She's not going anywhere.
Stay clear of the front windows.
Do you see anybody outside? There's somebody in the building.
We gotta move.
Down here.
Might be a good time for all of you to leave.
Damn it.
We got sirens.
We're all done.
Meet us back here.
- Agent Burke? - Shh! I'm getting you out of here.
We're here.
What took you so long? We're 30 seconds behind schedule.
We have got to move.
Take it.
- Peter.
- Diana knocked some sense into SWAT.
- Get Renee out.
They're out back.
Doesn't matter.
- I'm going after them.
Let them go.
They've got guns.
Neal.
Damn it.
He never listens to me.
- Jones, get me Walker.
I wanna talk to him.
- He's already here.
Oh, I heard what happened at the bank.
I thought I could save you some trouble.
So you're here to confess? I figured you were gonna give me a call, because Mr.
Caffrey has my cell number.
Arthur? You'll find my alibi in there in addition to my company's lawsuit.
Lawsuit? Yes, unwarranted harassment, defamation of character.
And, you know, there's a litany of other charges but, gee, why spoil the surprise? Enjoy this game you're playing.
- It won't end well for you.
- Oh, the game is already over.
This Architect, whoever he is, has already won.
Mr.
Caffrey.
Oh, if I did do it, do you think they would make me a junior FBI agent too? - Wow, that is one arrogant bastard.
- Heh.
That's one way of putting it.
This is gonna be a problem.
Nothing useful on the tapes.
- They were in and out in five minutes.
Gridlocked the city to kill response time.
Plus a perfect exit strategy.
Walker was in control every step of the way.
He wants us to know it.
And that's how we get him.
He can't control his ego.
Vanity is not cause for indictment.
I wasn't bold enough to walk into your office when you were after me.
- I want this guy.
- Hell hath no fury like a fed scorned.
We are facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit from a suspected thief who walked away from the crime scene in broad daylight.
- What, are you saying we're done? - We better not be.
Or I can't stop the DOJ from putting me on the bread line and you behind bars.
While they were chasing ghosts around the city, we were right.
Doesn't matter.
We didn't catch him.
Final tally.
Looks like they got away with 8.
2 million.
- You sure about that? - Jones has excellent penmanship.
Four guys, two Samsonites each.
- How big would you say the briefcases are? - I don't know, 16-by-13.
- Height? - Four, 5 inches.
- Denomination of the bills, all Franklins? - Right.
Hundred bills in a pack.
Volume of each pack, less than 8 inches.
Dimensions don't add up.
We're looking at around $960,000 in each case.
- That's over 6.
5 million total.
- Final tally was 8.
2.
More than a million and a half is unaccounted for.
Sounds like enough to be a share.
- Thank you.
- Sure.
I appreciate your taking the time.
You said you had a theory.
Our faceless friends may have left something behind.
I'd like to re-examine the vault, just in case.
No rest for the weary, huh? Those creeps held a gun to my head.
I'll rest when you catch them.
The team was pretty thorough.
What is it you think that they missed? - Two-thirteen.
- Excuse me? Deposit box 213.
Pretty sure no one's looked in there yet.
It sounds like it's worth a shot.
Uh, I'm sorry.
That's the property of one of our customers.
- You'd need his authorization or a warrant.
- Got this from the bank president.
But the box doesn't belong to one of your customers.
- It belongs to you.
- Ha, ha.
I'm afraid you're mistaken.
No, we did a background check on all the boxes in this vault.
Did you know 213 was rented to your uncle two months ago? - I don't see why that would be a problem.
I do.
He died two years ago.
Either it's a miracle - Or you forged his application.
- My money's on the latter.
Okay, fine.
Uh, why don't you have a look? Wow.
One and a half million dollars in cash.
All right.
Did you know she had a gun? - I did not.
Okay, get the bag.
Put the money in the bag.
Not a bad plan.
Walker leaves your cut.
All you have to do is walk out once the dust settles.
- Pretty good plan, I'd say.
- Except we figured it out.
- You really think you can outrun the FBI? - It's a marathon, not a sprint.
- He'd know.
- Stop talking and put the money in the bag.
That was a pretty nice acting job you did for the cameras.
- Even the best laid plans.
Shut up.
Walker convinced you to help him, didn't he? He convinced me I shouldn't wait 20 years to have a mediocre pension to retire on.
Why wait when I can have three times that? - Because you'll get caught.
- Again, he would know.
Did I tell you to stop? Keep filling the bag.
- Could you stop doing that, please? - What? - Rubbing it in.
It's very hypocritical.
- Well, it's not untrue.
- Hey.
- Okay, you know what? - I'm tired of this.
- Being held hostage? - Bickering with you.
- You're not the only one.
Really? Yeah, really.
Wow.
Okay, maybe it is time for this partnership to end.
Okay, that's fine by me.
I can finally start my novel.
- You can barely write a parking ticket.
- That's very - Hey! Hold on.
- You really want this to end? - Do you? - I'm ready.
- Let's do it.
Shut up! Oh, my eyes.
In here.
We're in here.
- Right there.
Handcuff her.
Oh! - Somebody read her her rights.
Yes, sir.
- Nice job.
- Not so bad yourself.
Mr.
Walker, this just arrived for you.
It's only fair.
You gave us a heads-up.
I'm returning the favor.
This is going to help my lawsuit.
- Mm.
There won't be any lawsuit.
- And why is that? - Your inside woman.
Renee talked.
Why settle for 25-to-life tomorrow when you can plea-bargain today? Oh, next time, don't get caught.
Whitney, call Arthur.
Call the legal team.
Neal? You ready? I am now.
I saw a mockingbird in the park.
You say, "What color is the mockingbird?" I'm doing the newspaper thing.
I'm not doing the stupid bird thing.
- How's he holding up? - Better.
- I'm seeing the old Caffrey coming back.
- Good.
Whatever part you played in it, you did good.
I'm sure you didn't call me down here to tell me how great I did.
- Good.
You did good.
- Great.
Great.
Look, I know he won't tell me everything.
I get that, he's Neal.
I'll keep an eye on him and you.
But that puts me in a position to clean up a mess, not stop it before it happens.
Oh, that's the part you want me to take care of.
Just tell me if he's gonna do anything stupid.
- I can't rat out my friend.
- It's to protect him.
That's the same rationale that was used by the Gestapo and the KGB.
Look at me.
He's my friend too.
- I'll take that under advisement.
- Yeah.
- Mozz.
We gotta talk, mon frère.
- What? - About the box.
Something strange going on with the music box.
The trail starts here.
It was bagged after Forensics held it for two hours in your New York office.
- OPR requested it be transferred to D.
C.
- I knew they wouldn't let it sit still.
Somewhere between here and there, this happened.
That's not the box.
Got a similar shape and coloring.
- It was swapped.
- And the real box is in the wind.
Though we cannot change the direction of the wind, we may adjust our sails.
Well, the question is, which way are we headed? Yeah? - Diana.
You ready for Fowler's mystery meeting? I'm on my way.
I'm right behind you, boss.
