Nice place.
What do you think about the buffalo? What do you think I think? [LAUGHS.]
Mohegan has three casinos.
This is Casino of the Wind.
The red circles, cameras.
Yellow circles are spotting stations and the green arrows are exits.
That's all the, uh, security I could identify.
You might have missed something.
Ah.
[CHUCKLES.]
There's your buffalo.
So what do you think about the vanish? Sure.
- Oh.
- If it was still in the museum.
But here, in the middle of a casino, with sight lines to three security stations and eyes in the ceiling? It can't be done.
Jesus.
This is your miracle worker? The trick is always impossible until it isn't.
Those are your words.
Maybe I was wrong.
You don't believe that.
Almost impossible, and risky as hell.
I'm listening.
You need a slippery Sam.
A big move to cover the small moves.
- Right.
- Which means We need a second buffalo.
To start with.
Well, if it was easy, anybody could do it.
That's my line.
I know.
I'm just siding with you.
So we need a second buffalo.
I heard that.
Okay, do you know where to find a second buffalo? No.
Do you? So your job you basically solve mysteries for criminals? Part of my job.
Okay, well, this This is my job, and in order to do my job, I need you to trust me.
Ha.
Trust you? Uh, um, when you finish over there, could we, um, get started? [MARIUS.]

365 degrees of visibility.
We gotta cut the damn thing in half.
[TWANGY MUSIC.]
Are you gonna say anything? [PORTER.]
Right About what? About what the fuck do you think? Gavin.
Did you forget? He was the one in the shower curtain with the knife in his chest.
So we're still gonna do the small one? You got a friend ends up in a shark tank, gets eaten.
Now, you blame the shark, or the person who pushed your friend into the tank? And we're still gonna get the money from them, right? We're definitely getting the money.
Right.
Yeah.

What the fuck? Where's Trish? Yeah, no, I actually owe Trish an apology.
She thought I was here as a cop, but I'm not.
I'm here as a private citizen.
Then private citizen Taylor Bowman can get the fuck out.
Lance.
As much as it pains me to say it, I need your help with something.
Come with me right now, I'll never bother you again.
[SOFT CHIME.]
Hey, get the fuck out, man! [LANCE.]
Trish! Trish! - Oh, shit.
- Get the fuck out.
Trish! [DISTANT SIRENS WAILING.]

I followed your friend for three days.
I didn't see anything.
[SEAN.]
Yeah, well, I was out with my friend last night and saw the other guy with another woman.
Knowing her, she's gonna want to see him ASAP.
Well, then, your friend has terrible timing, 'cause today's my day off.
Maybe he'll fire you.
You can come back and work for us.
Sean pays better.
Is that all you care about, is money? It's not all I care about.
Come on.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
We're We're looking for Colin.
[SIGHS.]
Um, he's not here.
Well, it's really It's pretty important that we find him.
Do you know where he is? I think he's downtown somewhere.
Oh, wait, you know what? Maybe that was yesterday, so Do you mind if I use your bathroom? - Prostate's acting up.
- Oh Um, wow, okay.
Yeah, it's just down the hall and to your right.
Uh I like his hat.
So does he.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[HANNAH.]
[LAUGHS.]
That's cool.
[OTTO.]
Yeah, so, you have a dog? - No, we don't have a dog.
- No? - We did have a dog.
- I would say, uh Uh, sorry.
Did you mean your right or my right? Um There it is.
- Okay.
- [LAUGHS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Well, what do you know? I think he said something about mail.
You mean the post office? I don't know.
Uh Oh! Thanks a lot for your help.
Wait, what are you doing with that? Uh, Colin wanted us to have it.
It's an Irish thing.
It's an Irish thing.
Where'd you find it? It was hanging over the shitter.
Oh, the kid's got no respect.
[HANNAH.]
Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Hey, so I remember where Colin is.
Um, he said "bail," not "mail," so I guess he's staking out some bail bonds office - on Elm Street - Bernhardt Bail Bonds? [HANNAH.]
Yeah, that's the one.
Three people? That's terrible.
Were those the robbers? I s I see.
Really? What are you saying? [DOOR CLOSES LOUDLY.]
Uh, well, thank you so much for your help.
I didn't think you were coming in today.
Uh, yeah, I took a I took a certified check as a deposit on a bond and hid it in the back.
You should really put that in the safe.
Why I'm here, not being trusted with the combination.
Who were you talking to? Ginny, at the courthouse, uh, double-checking Sperling's court date.
Hey, so, uh, day after.
How are you feeling about, um, Maggie's return? Oh, um, you know, uh, I think she's right.
Forgiving and forgetting are the key.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
No worry.
I'll sit at the desk, back turned, eyes closed.
Mm.
[STEALTHY MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
You done? I am.
Could I give you some advice? Could I stop you? If you'd come in and said you needed the gun, just because you had, I don't know, a bad feeling, I wouldn't have thought twice, but going through this rigmarole makes me think there's something I should know.
Is there? I just needed bullets.
And? [SHOP BELL RINGS.]
- Hello, there.
- Can we help you? Yes, you can.
And you've assessed correctly.
I'm not here to bail anyone out.
Then what do you want? She knows what I want.
I have no idea.
Sure you do.
You also know that bail bonds companies still get bond back if a defendant turns up dead.
Luis tell you that? [AUDREY.]
All right, you got five seconds to leave before I call the police.
No, you won't, because right now, I don't plan to hurt either of you.
I doubt you want me to change my mind.
Just give me a location.
Julia, don't say a goddamn word.
He's unarmed.
I know this because I've got his gun right here.
Come on, grandpa.
I buy 'em by the dozen.
No, no.
I'm grandpa, and I'd be willing to bet this one'll be untraceable after we shoot you with it.
Yeah, but you didn't walk through the logic on that one, did you, old timer? You still need to explain why you shot an unarmed man at point-blank range.
Then we'll shoot you with this gun, and stick yours in your hand.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Well, I guess I'll go, but if I leave here without a location, you're choosing to do this the hard way, because I will find what I'm looking for.
Get out.
[SIGHS.]
Julia, what the hell have you gotten yourself into? [SIGHS.]
Where are we going? You are gonna take me to where you and Dockery and his goon buried the body of the guy who got stabbed in the head.
Why? Doesn't matter why.
A thing about being a lawyer is knowing when you need a lawyer.
I am giving you your one chance to not need a lawyer.
You're gonna show me where that grave is, or everything that you did conning Audrey, disposing of the body it's all gonna come to light, and you're gonna be disbarred and jailed before the next fucking "Star Wars" movie comes out.
I did it to get us out of the Dockery situation.
I didn't know Pete was gonna bring the money back.
What do you wanna guess this Valerie's name was on that prick's piece of paper? So where do you have her stashed? A storage facility in Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon? Why would you use a place in Mount Vernon? Aunt Maggie suggested it.
Pff.
Must be that same place that Lila and Danny used back in the day.
[OTTO.]
They kept that guy in there.
What was that guy's name? [SAM.]
Rinsler, Rinsler.
- Yeah, Dean Rinsler.
- Stashed him there for a week.
I bet that's why Maggie and her crew picked the place.
She remembered it from before.
Thought it'd be an easy target.
What are you talking about? I told you I wanted to find out why Pete and Maggie came back.
I talked to a guy at the gun range he robbed three years ago.
Oh, Jesus, Audrey.
He said it was connected to the robbery of a storage facility in Mount Vernon.
Several people were killed, but one got away: a white woman in her 50s.
You think that was Aunt Maggie? Who else could it be? It could've been anyone.
Oh, Otto, stop! You know who and what our daughter is.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What do I do now? I got a pregnant lady in a storage facility who needs food delivered and her bucket emptied, except there's a man outside who's gonna follow me everywhere I go.
Well, he can't follow all of us.
[REMI.]
I'm sorry.
It's not for sale.
I understand, but could Could you just hear us out for one second.
Um We're personal shoppers for a very high net worth individual.
If anybody says it's Kevin Costner, you didn't hear it from us.
We found photographs of the buffalo online, we sent it to our client.
He believes this is one of the Roosevelt buffaloes, as in shot by Theodore Roosevelt.
Now, you and I both know that's highly unlikely, but once our client gets something in his head, he's hard to convince otherwise, so all I'm saying is that if you were to sell us the buffalo for the going rate, we could turn it around and sell it to you-know-who for ten times that amount, and we would split the difference.
What do you think? What, no? - Hmm - No.
I don't know.
Margaret, tell Remi how much money he stands to make.
I'm sorry, everything that my colleague just told you it's a lie.
I'm so sorry.
Excuse me? Oh, wait Wait, I'm sorry.
- [MAGGIE.]
You okay? - Wait.
[MARIUS.]
I think I'm getting a migraine.
My aura is, uh I need to get my Imitrex.
It's in the car.
- Your what? - My My migraine medicine! I need to get it, in the car.
Wait, Marius Uh, we'll be right back.
What the fuck is wrong with you? I told you to follow my lead! I I just couldn't.
You couldn't what? You couldn't lie? A man got acid thrown in his face.
I think, under the circumstances, it is okay to lie.
You know my problem isn't the lying.
My problem is it was the wrong lie.
That man doesn't care about the money.
Everybody cares about the money! That He doesn't.
He's not - gonna sell the buffalo.
- Oh, is that what your spirit guide is telling you? What, did you read the aura of the buffalo or some bullshit? Don't mock my beliefs.
No, no, I'm not mocking you.
I made $15,000 in two weeks in New Orleans reading sitters.
No, I think it's a great racket.
You know, if we were all such frauds, then how come Ethel knew about your brother's toe? Oh, yeah, no, I'm still working on that one.
Well, you're still working on it because it wasn't a trick.
It's not a trick? Mm, I'm seeing a man.
Oh, stop it.
No, no, he he's [CHEEPING.]
He's wearing a uniform.
Does that mean anything to you? He told you that his dad was military.
No, no, no, this is before Pete's father.
No, this guy promised to get you out of Bridgeport, because he said you were too special to be stuck there, and you believed him, just like you believed all the others who told you the same thing.
There were only two.
Yeah, but by the time the second guy came around, you were so desperate to get out of there, you betrayed your whole family.
You told a lie.
Oh, my God, screw you.
No, that's what my spirit guide's telling me.
No, people come to me because they're in pain.
They're looking for comfort, so I use my gifts to help them.
Every time, just you and your spirit guide? Yeah, fine, I don't have Ethel's extraordinary gift.
Sometimes the spirit it reaches out, sometimes not, so yes, in order not to leave the client hanging, sometimes I use shortcuts to help.
[LAUGHS.]
Shortcuts? You mean like you pay attention to what they wear and how they talk and how they move and what they look at? Maybe you take a peek in their purse when they get up to go to the bathroom? How is that any different from what I do? [SIGHS.]
I use these techniques to help people, not hurt them.
I do it because I don't have Ethel's gift, or yours.
[SIGHS.]
I love the things that you tell yourself.
What is my gift? To just not care.
[DESOLATE MUSIC.]
Which you got from your mother The heroin addict.
Were you Were you reading me now? Pete tell you that? [LAUGHS.]
Pete didn't need to tell me.
I see it when you walk into a room, the way you take the temperature, adjust yourself like an emotional contortionist.
Must be exhausting.
I think I really am getting a migraine.
I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have burned you.
I just I didn't know what to do.
You were barking up the wrong tree.
Greed is rarely the wrong answer.
Well, you know, the thing is, though, this guy, he's got the buffalo and several other pieces set aside, and they're so lovingly displayed, it's clear to me he doesn't want money for them.
He wants people to appreciate them.
Yeah, no, you're right.
You're right.
I I should've seen that.
Well, I I should've handled it differently.
No, this is good.
I think Well, let's work the problem.
Uh, yeah, but how? I mean, he won't sell.
That's okay.
Maybe we're not buying.
You sure? Yeah, I paid attention, in case I had to run.
Want to know how to get back to the highway.
They could've driven in circles to throw you off.
I wasn't blindfolded.
Like they didn't care what you saw.
Jesus.
That must have scared the shit out of you.
You think? [MAGGIE.]
Okay.
Oh.
Oh, hi, Remi.
Sorry Okay, honey, why don't you sit right there? Sit right there, this by the doors of fresh air? Good for your head.
Is he going to be okay? Oh, yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Remi, about what happened earlier.
Oh, you said he was lying.
No, I know, I know.
He was, but he doesn't know that.
He doesn't know it.
Who is this remarkable woman? That was my grandmother.
She's beautiful.
Her spirit just leaps off the canvas.
It does, doesn't it? She ran a Texas dude ranch by herself well into her 80s.
Wow, that's amazing.
Wow.
She was my hero.
- She died a few years ago.
- Did she? All of the not-for-sale items in here were hers.
Oh, all of these? Including the bison.
Oh, r The bison, too? [CRIES.]
My My goodness, are you all right? [CRYING.]
Yes, well [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
Remi My son, he He doesn't have a migraine.
He has a brain tumor.
Oh, I [SOBS.]
Oh, thank you.
Nobody has handkerchiefs anymore, Remi.
It's just, he The radiation shrunk it, but then the chemo didn't work, and so now, we're just I'm taking him around, and just showing him what he wants to see until I am so sorry.
But may I ask why an antiques store? I don't know Wouldn't he rather see the Empire State Building - or something - You know, who can explain these things? It's just he His favorite movie is "Dances with Wolves," and his favorite scene in the movie is the it's the buffalo stampede.
And it's the brain tumor.
It's It's screwing with his head [WHISPERING.]
and it's why he thinks that he's working for Kevin Costner.
My word Yeah.
[REMI.]
Hey, there.
Your mom tells me that you'd like a bison in your home - for your - [MAGGIE.]
For your party.
Your Big party.
Yeah, yeah, you should come.
Kevin's gonna be there.
- Right? - Yes, honey, Kevin will be there.
I promise.
[GUITAR MUSIC.]
[VALERIE.]
About fucking time.
I need to hear you go to the back of the unit.
Who are you? I'm with Bernhardt Bail Bonds.
How do I know you're not with Luis? I suppose you don't, but I control the lock, and I'm here to supply you with food and water.
Step to the back of the unit.
[VALERIE.]
Okay, I'm at the back.
[VALERIE.]
This is illegal.
You'd think so, but it's not.
[VALERIE.]
What about the bucket? [SIGHS.]
Does it need emptying? [VALERIE.]
Well, let's just say it's not only a piss bucket anymore.
[EXASPERATED.]
Oh Put it by the door, then go back.
[VALERIE.]
Fine, I'm done.
Wave your arms so the light goes Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Get me the fuck out of Hey.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- This my storage facility.
This not jail cell.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm fucking with you.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Wow.
You You must be mother of Maggie.
I am.
Hm.
You have name? Is that necessary? It's polite.
Audrey.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Audrey.
You are You want help with bucket? Bako will make sure guest stays.
I think she should learn her lesson.
Ah, smart.
Rub her nose in it, like teaching bad puppy.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.
I am Luka.
[KISSES HAND.]
Luka Delchev.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Audrey.
Maggie's mom.
No bucket.
Okay, I think we need to try this again.
I can feel you fighting the urge to shoot me in the back of the head.
Left my gun in the car.
No No, I'm wondering what the hell Julia ever saw in you.
Well, she grew up with a meathead jock for a brother.
I can't blame her for going in the complete opposite direction.
Look how that turned out for her.
That's the wrong question, isn't it? She's a single mother, struggling to get by, you're a reasonably successful lawyer.
Real question's what did you see in her? What a wonderful brother.
I'm serious.
She's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny.
And she's a single mother, struggling to get by.
- What about Trish? - What about her? She come from a fucked-up family? Hm? Maybe suffer from anxiety and depression? I mean, it all fits with your con that you tried to pull on Audrey, right? I mean, how you angled it all so that you could swoop in and save everybody.
Lance You wanna be a hero.
Well, who doesn't? Did you become a cop for the pension plan? You got no idea where this fucking grave is, do you? It was dark, and all these trees looked the fucking same.
Fuck.
[AJ.]
Damn.
[AJ.]
Now that is a goddamn buffalo.
Bison.
Buffaloes are only found in Asia and Africa.
[ROBERT.]
This is the American bison.
Hm.
What's important is that we got one.
Where's Joseph? Joseph's stuck in California.
That's Robert.
Never Bob.
Robert.
Hey, thanks for trusting Marius.
Uh, I didn't trust him.
I tracked his fucking phone.
How'd you get your hands on this girl so fast? Maggie went online and found it in an antique store.
And unfortunately, it wasn't for sale.
And then I fucked everything up, and she saved the day.
Yeah, it was your migraine act that saved it.
[MAGGIE.]
[LAUGHS.]
When you're done congratulating yourselves, how much do we need for the show and tell? We just need proof of concept, so it's the setup, it's the misdirect, and [GLASS SHATTERS.]
[AJ.]
Whoa.
Eh, we got a problem? Uh, yeah.
We're on a schedule.
Fix it.
This isn't gonna work, you need to tell me.
It's gonna work.
You like him better than me.
Oh, my God, no.
You're my only little man.
You're my Pete.
So you take my name and then you take my family, and now you what? You want my mom, too? Huh? You really don't know me, do you? No, I do.
I I know you.
- I know you well enough - I don't want your family.
I want the money.
Pete, listen to his words.
What? No! He What He's a liar.
What can I do to make you believe me? Look, all we're doing is setting up a job.
Once it's done, once it's over, I'm gone.
Pete, we need to find a way to make this work for all of us, honey.
Do you understand? What can we do? We'll do anything.
Anything you ask.
- Yeah.
- [MAGGIE.]
What can we do? [EERIE BELL MUSIC.]
Anything? - Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Grandma, how are you? Uh, Audrey Bernhardt.
You are? Marius Josipovic.
Uh, Carly! They're here.
Oh, ho! Uh, Otto, this is Pete's friend Marius.
Oh, my God, it's It's It's nice It's nice to meet you.
You know, you look a little familiar to me.
- [AUDREY.]
Have we met before? - [PETE.]
That's highly unlikely.
Where's, uh Where's Taylor? Uh, he'll be here soon.
I'm sorry, honey.
What did you say your name was? Gina.
I'm Marius' girlfriend.
Nice to meet you.
If you'll excuse me, I have to help Julia in the kitchen.
[MAGGIE.]
Oh, hey, Dad.
Hi.
Oh, hi, hon! Marius, it's really a pleasure to Oh! [MARIUS.]
Yeah, he's a He's a hugger.
It was a problem on the cell block.
Yeah Yeah, I imagine it would've been.
Why don't I talk to Maggie, see what I can find out about this storage place? Pete might not even know what's going on.
Like hell.
I bet their two friends are in on it, too, whatever it is.
Seriously? Right now, you see, I calmed down.
Take a deep breath, or that Hey.
They here? Yeah, they're with Grandpa.
You meet Josipovic yet? Not yet.
What if he recognizes me from the hotel? He's the criminal here.
Do you think he killed Winslow? That is not what I meant.
Come on.
When When, uh, when Marius and I were were in the joint together, I would tell him stories about you guys and this place - Yeah.
- And it always lifted our spirits.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, I almost feel like you're my family.
[AUDREY.]
Ha! [OTTO.]
Well, any friend of my grandson's is a friend of mine, and now that you two are back, I'd be happy to have a family dinner every night.
- To family.
- [MAGGIE.]
Oh, thanks, Dad.
- Oh.
- To family.
[ALL TOASTING.]
[JULIA.]
It's really nice of Pete to take care of his cellmate like this.
Yeah, yeah, very sweet.
Hey, Pete, I thought you said that your friend here went to Ottawa.
Well, he's back now.
[LAUGHS.]
What are you, gonna interrogate me now? You can take the cop out of the station [LAUGHTER.]
Holy shit, Taylor, you're a cop now? - [PETE.]
Huh.
- Now? [MARIUS.]
He means now, because in the stories I would tell him, we were kids, and I didn't want to tell him you're a cop, because I didn't want to make him nervous.
But yes, Marius, Taylor's a cop.
He's not gonna arrest anybody, but yeah.
[TAYLOR.]
Not tonight, at least, but there is a New York homicide detective that would really like to talk to Mr.
Josipovic.
Hey, didn't your probation officer call you Josipovic the other day? A lot of questions.
You met Pete's probation officer? Uh, briefly, yeah.
It was a long story.
Yeah, no, that is actually a funny story.
Um, we had a a guard when we were in together who would call us by our cellie's names and it was one of these things that would make us feel unimportant, or, you know - [JULIA.]
That's terrible.
- Yeah.
It's like the dehumanizing prison thing.
Wait, why would your parole officer know what some guard called you in prison? Well, that's what's funny, because - [MAGGIE.]
It's weird.
- No, listen to this.
My parole officer is our guard's brother.
[LAUGHTER.]
[MARIUS.]
No shit.
No, these guys are really intense.
He make you squat and cough, too? Oh, God, Dad - I'm sorry.
- Grandpa.
Pete, I thought you used Josipovic as an alias for your insurance work.
Yeah, I used a lot of different aliases.
It's just what came to my mind, you know? It's probably from the guard.
Well, it seems dangerous, exposing your friend like that.
I agree, I agree, I do, especially considering he didn't he didn't tell me that he was gonna use my name.
- But I did tell you, remember? - No.
Yeah, I did, right before I gave you a cut of the money that I made doing it.
No, but that was after you already did it, so I didn't really have much of a choice Well, I'm not gonna do it anymore.
- Good.
- I'm Pete Murphy from here on out.
It's okay, it's okay.
Gina, how did you How did you and Marius meet? - Was it before or after? - Yeah.
You know, actually, it was during.
- Oh.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm a literacy teacher at the prison and Marius was one of my students.
It sounds creepy, but it's He understood Shakespeare better than any student I've ever taught.
- Wow.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just listening to him read the sonnets, I fell in love.
Huh, wow.
Yeah, I guess some women just have a thing for criminals.
I think it's romantic.
Yeah, it reminds me of, uh, Lila and Danny.
No, no, no, Mom and Dad met when she gave him a concussion.
So, yeah, that's right.
It's a little bit dangerous and romantic, [MAGGIE.]
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
No, no, no, no, it's more like "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe.
" [MAGGIE.]
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, Aunt Maggie? I was wondering if maybe, after this, we could try another reading, maybe try to talk to Mom? Yeah, for sure, of course.
Of course.
[PETE.]
Oh [PETE.]
Hey, wait a second.
You came You were You came in the motel room the the yeah That's the one that Remember I told you, someone brought pizza.
That's because, when you came here that night, and you were thinking about using again, Carly, uh, saw us and she followed us back to the motel.
Isn't that right, Carly? - Yeah.
- What do you mean, "using"? [PETE.]
Pete.
.
Pete He didn't tell you? I'm a drug addict.
He's an ex-drug addict.
He's in recovery right now.
Active drug addict.
My name's Marius Josipovic, and I'm a con man.
I'm the lowest of the low.
I think that murderers are better than me, because what I do is I go in and I lie to people.
I steal their families.
[MARIUS.]
Let's not make this a meeting right now.
Let's not make this a meeting.
[MAGGIE.]
We all make mistakes.
We do.
But, you know, the important thing is we learn from them and we move on.
- [MAGGIE.]
Right? - [GINA.]
Right.
For some of us, uh, mistakes are a pattern we choose to repeat.
What? What does that mean? It means I know about the storage facility! What storage facility? - Carly, go upstairs.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.
Go upstairs! [MAGGIE.]
Don't talk to her that way.
Don't yell at her.
She's not a child.
And you're not her mother! Bad enough you fill her head with nonsense about talking to Lila.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it nonsense.
Pete held up a gun range while you robbed Hall Street Storage in Mount Vernon.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Wait, what? What I don't understand, or can't figure out, is why you sent Julia there, of all places, two days ago.
Maggie, is Julia in danger? [LAUGHS.]
What? No.
Julia had a problem and I actually went - to help her fix it.
I was - It's okay.
They already know about Valerie.
Okay.
I mean, I just was trying to help Julia.
Oh, bullshit! You two show up out of the blue - after all this time.
- [MAGGIE.]
Oh, my God.
You're up to something.
- [MAGGIE.]
I'm not up to anything.
- [MARIUS.]
Grandma, Grandma.
We're here because because Grandpa had a stroke.
That was six months ago! Stop treating us like we're senile.
Tell me why you're really here.
There's nothing to tell.
Tell me, now! [MAGGIE.]
Mom, look, there is nothing to tell.
Then get out of this house! [SIGHS.]
Dad Maggie, I love you, but if you can't tell us what's going on, you've got to leave.
Grandpa All right, all right, I'm out.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Come on, Marius.
Come on.
- All right.
- Gotta go.
Sorry.
No, wait.
Aunt Maggie, wait.
Honey, it's okay.
We'll.
.
We'll contact your mom some other time.
I promise.
You are such a bitch! I just couldn't sit there any longer let them lie to my face.
Doesn't matter.
I'll find out what they're up to.
We may have to put a pin in that, Grandma.
We have some more pressing issues to deal with.
Oh, God.
You didn't find the gun? No, I told you, I found the gun.
I couldn't find the grave.
Gun? Grave? [DISQUIETING MUSIC.]
I'll make coffee.
It was good to see them.
All of them.
God, I never would've recognized Julia.
Really good to see your mom.
So that's it, then.
I'm going to jail.
No, you're not.
That kid That kid who's been following Julia he's the dead guy's son.
He's been living in his dad's house.
Gun turns up there, that's just as good as his grave.
And you don't have to worry about Colin being there.
He's too busy trying to kill Valerie.
Sam and I will go see Luis.
We'll try to get him to lift the hit on Valerie.
I'll go to Dockery, suggest that his money's being messed with.
I mean, I got to think that even Luis Mercado is scared of Chayton Dockery.
And I'll try and find out what Pete and Maggie are up to.
[SYNCOPATED MUSIC.]
[LOUD NOISE.]
[STATIC OVER SPEAKER.]
Ta da! Where'd it go? It's magic, is where it went.
Okay, uh, let's do that again.
This time, hit that deflate button a half second sooner, because I saw the shape when you pulled the sheet.
Nothing about the great trick I put together in no time at all? Well, it was the best trick I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, it was the best trick you've ever seen in your life? - Let's do it again.
- [KENT.]
He's right.
It's a good trick.
But what I don't understand is how they fuck Luka over and keep the money for themselves.
I'm more interested in how they get the buffalo out.
Excuse me, Marius, but who are these people? - Let me - [KENT.]
Oh, he didn't tell you? Well, Mr.
Leon Porter, sir, we're the FBI.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Go away.
You gonna kick me out of the house, too? I'd like you to take a ride with me.
I need your help with something.
No, thank you.
It's not a request.
[GREER.]
There's one for each of you.
Everything you've ever been even suspected of doing since you were 18 years old.
Every con, every hack, every safe cracked, every five-finger discount, every drug pushed on the reserve, every house robbed.
[KENT.]
And we don't need a file for you, because Marius switched your records, so you go to prison, no matter what.
What the fuck And Frank Hooper that isn't your real name, is it? - [KENT.]
You're Luka's guy.
- Luka who? [GREER.]
But that's all history.
The fun part is the future.
That's what brings us things we can charge you with now.
We either have a fingerprint, surveillance video, or snitch willing to testify against you.
Everything from obstruction to conspiracy.
In the case of Margaret Ruth Bernhardt, given her participation in a robbery that left four people dead, it's the brass ring.
Murder in the first.
[KENT.]
The choice is simple, people.
You cooperate and help us take down Luka, or you go to jail.
You You know what you're doing? You know what we call it in the confidence world? It's called an urban cowboy.
It's all hat and no cattle.
You have nothing, so you're trying to intimidate us with all this razzle-dazzle.
I'll give you some razzle-dazzle.
If you had anything, you would charge us, and you would suspend prosecution pending cooperation.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We'll do our job, you do your job, and we'll see who wins.
How about we just tell Luka how you're planning to fuck him over? You all go to the tub, snap, crackle, pop.
You don't think Luka already knows that we might rip him off? He's got a guy right here.
He's watching us.
Frankly, I'm insulted that you think we would fold so easily.
So if you have nothing else, we're gonna get back to work.
Well, it seems Marius has made the choice for all of you.
Hope you're all prepared to live with the consequences.
So, Marius.
Now, I'm curious.
Uh, just when did the presence of the FBI slip your mind? I was going to tell you about the FBI.
When? When we're just about to go to trial? They don't have anything.
- They don't? - No.
Uh, let's see what Luka has to say about that.
Luka already knows that they're watching.
Oh, he knows, but we don't? - Well, you do now.
- [PORTER.]
Oh, I do now? - Yeah.
- Let's go.
[MARIUS.]
Oh, for Christ's sake.
[PORTER.]
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, where you going, man? [AUDREY.]
It's good you aren't speaking to me.
That way, I can talk, and you can listen.
Your aunt was right about one thing.
You're not a child anymore.
It's time you knew why my relationship with Maggie is what it is.
A few years after Pete's father died, your aunt took up with a guy named Derek.
He was a crook she had met through our family business.
When Derek went to jail on a rather large charge, your aunt Maggie bailed him out without collateral and without asking us, ran with him to California, dragging little Pete along with her.
The cops caught up with them, Derek went to prison, and Maggie never forgave me.
[MOURNFUL MUSIC.]
How did the cops find them? I got an address off the letters Maggie sent to Lila.
My mom gave up on Maggie? No.
She was hiding the letters.
I found them.
When Lila learned what I'd done, she was furious.
Lost all trust in me.
We were never the same after that.
At times, I thought about trying to patch things up, but I didn't know how.
When she died, my chance to ever do so died with her.
Because of what your aunt did, I lost both my daughters, and I refuse to let any more of Maggie's actions cost me my family again.
So what are we gonna do about it? So, why am I here? Your money's in trouble.
How's that? To take care of it, I made a deal with Luis Mercado to run it through his legit businesses.
In exchange, I had to use some of it to bond someone out for him.
Now, he's trying to kill her.
I don't see how that affects my money.
Now, you get the bond back, whether she's dead or alive.
How How do you know that? Well, the way I see it, it's a win-win-win.
Let Luis have Valerie, I get my money laundered, and you no longer have to be my launderer.
What do you care about Valerie, anyway? She's a criminal.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
And I'm a bail bondswoman, not an executioner.
Uh, technically, you'd just be the guard walking her to the execution.
Nobody blames that guy.
All I need is a location.
And if I say no? Then you're the only one who loses.
What are you gonna do, kill me? Threaten my kids? Whoa I would never do that.
But that young guy, Colin, or whatever his name is, real go-getter.
I thought it was the 50 grand I got on Valerie's head, but there's something else driving him.
It's like it's personal.
You should see what he did to my man Omar.
Who knows what he might do to you? So Just tell me where Valerie is, I call off the kid.
Don't tell me where Valerie is, I'll call junior hitman and tell him where you are.
Well, then, I think I have a compromise.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC.]
Fuck.
Pssh.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Bravo.
That's good.
Thank you.
How? And don't give me fucking "magician secret" bullshit.
It's Um, it's an inflatable sheet, so the CO2 cartridges fill ribs that are in the sheet which mimics the the shape of the buffalo and we remove the buffalo uh, and then the the sheet deflates when someone pulls on it.
And how How buffalo gets out of casino? We're still working on that.
You gonna tell him now? Or should I? Tell me what? Well, there's a little bit of a bump in the road.
Ha, "bump.
" More like the front range of the Himalayas.
[MARIUS.]
It's the, um It's the FBI.
Fucking FBI.
Not new.
Well, I know FBI.
This is different.
[FRANK.]
To make the buffalo disappear, Marius had to make a loud noise to distract us.
To get the FBI's head to swivel, take a nuclear blast.
Well I fool big organization before.
I fool four to get 15 million out of Yugoslavia.
That's Albanians, Italians, Serbians, and Montenegrins.
All due respect, Luka, this is the FBI, not some Balkan government in the middle of a war.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Not government.
Mafia.
Very sophisticated.
United Nations send 15 million to Balkan to buy medicines during war.
Money intercepted by general.
Goran Bobetchko.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
This is a bad man.
But it's too much money for Bobetchko to sneak out by himself, so he needs partners.
HERE IS PLAN: Albanian mafia get money to coast.
Montenegrin mafia sail money from coast to Italy.
Only, here is problem.
Montenegrins, they don't have a boat, but they know me, so we load money onto Papa's squid boat, and Bobetchko sail off to Italy with me.
[LAUGHS.]
We land and I run into town to buy food and wine, you know, to celebrate, and I keep going.
Bobetchko go to look for money on Papa's squid boat.
Oh! No money! [LAUGHS.]
Money on other boat.
Luka's boat, heading to New York City.
I was own decoy.
Do same here.
FBI want me.
FBI think I have money, they will follow.
So you lead the FBI away while Marius steals the buffalo.
Well, we do have a second buffalo, which is good.
We would need a A second build.
We only have, uh, three nights to be ready.
Why then? There's a woman at the casino.
She works there, she knows me.
We have to go on her days off.
It's doable.
I think it's doable.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Not asking.
Saying.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I apologized.
I tried to explain.
- What do you want from me? - Get up! - Pete, stop.
- Get on your feet! - I don't wanna get up.
- [MAGGIE.]
Stop.
Stop.
He stole my name.
- Yeah, I know, but - He stole my family.
I know, but I still don't want you to hit him.
Why why are you sticking up for him? I'm not.
It's just we need him.
- No, we don't.
- Yes, you do.
You shut the fuck up! - [MAGGIE.]
Look, Pete - [PETE.]
What? Just a couple more days.
And then what? Y-y-you get this money? Yes, I promise.
I promise.
I didn't steal your family.
They think you're me! We do not have to settle this right now.
But it's not fair! No, I know.
All right, come on.
I know.
I know it's not fair.
What is this, a picnic? I'da punched you in the fucking throat.
Hey, thanks for the support.
There's no way I'm getting in the middle of that.
Wasn't he supposed to be here by now? He'll be here.
What do they even look like? The same, older.
Your grandfather had a stroke.
He had a stroke? He's all right.
- Yeah, you're sure? - Yeah, and your grandma hasn't changed at all.
[LAUGHS.]
What about what about Julia and Taylor? All grown up, same as you.
I can't stand that they think that he's me.
I wanna see 'em.
I have to see them.
I know, but we have to do this first.
We're so close, Pete.
Trust me.
- We need him - I can't No To get the money and stay alive.
Please? [FREIGHT DOOR OPENS.]
[JAUNTY ROCK MUSIC.]
Porter.
Marius.
Nice place.
What do you think about the buffalo? What do you think I think? [LAUGHS.]
Mohegan has three casinos.
This is Casino of the Wind.
The red circles, cameras.
Yellow circles are spotting stations and the green arrows are exits.
That's all the, uh, security I could identify.
You might have missed something.
Ah.
[CHUCKLES.]
There's your buffalo.
So what do you think about the vanish? Sure.
- Oh.
- If it was still in the museum.
But here, in the middle of a casino, with sight lines to three security stations and eyes in the ceiling? It can't be done.
Jesus.
This is your miracle worker? The trick is always impossible until it isn't.
Those are your words.
Maybe I was wrong.
You don't believe that.
Almost impossible, and risky as hell.
I'm listening.
You need a slippery Sam.
A big move to cover the small moves.
- Right.
- Which means We need a second buffalo.
To start with.
Well, if it was easy, anybody could do it.
That's my line.
I know.
I'm just siding with you.
So we need a second buffalo.
I heard that.
Okay, do you know where to find a second buffalo? No.
Do you? So your job you basically solve mysteries for criminals? Part of my job.
Okay, well, this This is my job, and in order to do my job, I need you to trust me.
Ha.
Trust you? Uh, um, when you finish over there, could we, um, get started? [MARIUS.]
What is the What is the key problem? [PORTER.]
365 degrees of visibility.
We gotta cut the damn thing in half.
[TWANGY MUSIC.]
Are you gonna say anything? [PORTER.]
Right About what? About what the fuck do you think? Gavin.
Did you forget? He was the one in the shower curtain with the knife in his chest.
So we're still gonna do the small one? You got a friend ends up in a shark tank, gets eaten.
Now, you blame the shark, or the person who pushed your friend into the tank? And we're still gonna get the money from them, right? We're definitely getting the money.
Right.
Yeah.
Hey.
[ BRIGHT LIGHT SOCIAL HOUR: "HARDER OUT HERE".]
MAN: It's getting hot around here Ah I keep trying to just make my way It's not lying Ah I'm only trying Just trust in me Trust in me Just trust in me Trust in me Just trust in me Fuck me! Mm, I'll pass.
What the fuck? Where's Trish? Yeah, no, I actually owe Trish an apology.
She thought I was here as a cop, but I'm not.
I'm here as a private citizen.
Then private citizen Taylor Bowman can get the fuck out.
Lance.
As much as it pains me to say it, I need your help with something.
Come with me right now, I'll never bother you again.
[SOFT CHIME.]
Hey, get the fuck out, man! [LANCE.]
Trish! Trish! - Oh, shit.
- Get the fuck out.
Trish! [DISTANT SIRENS WAILING.]
Yeah, I'm gonna need you to resume that job I put you on the other day.
I followed your friend for three days.
I didn't see anything.
[SEAN.]
Yeah, well, I was out with my friend last night and saw the other guy with another woman.
Knowing her, she's gonna want to see him ASAP.
Well, then, your friend has terrible timing, 'cause today's my day off.
Maybe he'll fire you.
You can come back and work for us.
Sean pays better.
Is that all you care about, is money? It's not all I care about.
Come on.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
- Hey.
- Hi.
We're We're looking for Colin.
[SIGHS.]
Um, he's not here.
Well, it's really It's pretty important that we find him.
Do you know where he is? I think he's downtown somewhere.
Oh, wait, you know what? Maybe that was yesterday, so Do you mind if I use your bathroom? - Prostate's acting up.
- Oh Um, wow, okay.
Yeah, it's just down the hall and to your right.
Uh I like his hat.
So does he.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[HANNAH.]
[LAUGHS.]
That's cool.
[OTTO.]
Yeah, so, you have a dog? - No, we don't have a dog.
- No? - We did have a dog.
- I would say, uh Uh, sorry.
Did you mean your right or my right? Um There it is.
- Okay.
- [LAUGHS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Well, what do you know? I think he said something about mail.
You mean the post office? I don't know.
Uh Oh! Thanks a lot for your help.
Wait, what are you doing with that? Uh, Colin wanted us to have it.
It's an Irish thing.
It's an Irish thing.
Where'd you find it? It was hanging over the shitter.
Oh, the kid's got no respect.
[HANNAH.]
Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Hey, so I remember where Colin is.
Um, he said "bail," not "mail," so I guess he's staking out some bail bonds office - on Elm Street - Bernhardt Bail Bonds? [HANNAH.]
Yeah, that's the one.
Three people? That's terrible.
Were those the robbers? I s I see.
Really? What are you saying? [DOOR CLOSES LOUDLY.]
Uh, well, thank you so much for your help.
I didn't think you were coming in today.
Uh, yeah, I took a I took a certified check as a deposit on a bond and hid it in the back.
You should really put that in the safe.
Why I'm here, not being trusted with the combination.
Who were you talking to? Ginny, at the courthouse, uh, double-checking Sperling's court date.
Hey, so, uh, day after.
How are you feeling about, um, Maggie's return? Oh, um, you know, uh, I think she's right.
Forgiving and forgetting are the key.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
No worry.
I'll sit at the desk, back turned, eyes closed.
Mm.
[STEALTHY MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
You done? I am.
Could I give you some advice? Could I stop you? If you'd come in and said you needed the gun, just because you had, I don't know, a bad feeling, I wouldn't have thought twice, but going through this rigmarole makes me think there's something I should know.
Is there? I just needed bullets.
And? [SHOP BELL RINGS.]
- Hello, there.
- Can we help you? Yes, you can.
And you've assessed correctly.
I'm not here to bail anyone out.
Then what do you want? She knows what I want.
I have no idea.
Sure you do.
You also know that bail bonds companies still get bond back if a defendant turns up dead.
Luis tell you that? [AUDREY.]
All right, you got five seconds to leave before I call the police.
No, you won't, because right now, I don't plan to hurt either of you.
I doubt you want me to change my mind.
Just give me a location.
Julia, don't say a goddamn word.
He's unarmed.
I know this because I've got his gun right here.
Come on, grandpa.
I buy 'em by the dozen.
No, no.
I'm grandpa, and I'd be willing to bet this one'll be untraceable after we shoot you with it.
Yeah, but you didn't walk through the logic on that one, did you, old timer? You still need to explain why you shot an unarmed man at point-blank range.
Then we'll shoot you with this gun, and stick yours in your hand.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Well, I guess I'll go, but if I leave here without a location, you're choosing to do this the hard way, because I will find what I'm looking for.
Get out.
[SIGHS.]
Julia, what the hell have you gotten yourself into? [SIGHS.]
Where are we going? You are gonna take me to where you and Dockery and his goon buried the body of the guy who got stabbed in the head.
Why? Doesn't matter why.
A thing about being a lawyer is knowing when you need a lawyer.
I am giving you your one chance to not need a lawyer.
You're gonna show me where that grave is, or everything that you did conning Audrey, disposing of the body it's all gonna come to light, and you're gonna be disbarred and jailed before the next fucking "Star Wars" movie comes out.
I did it to get us out of the Dockery situation.
I didn't know Pete was gonna bring the money back.
What do you wanna guess this Valerie's name was on that prick's piece of paper? So where do you have her stashed? A storage facility in Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon? Why would you use a place in Mount Vernon? Aunt Maggie suggested it.
Pff.
Must be that same place that Lila and Danny used back in the day.
[OTTO.]
They kept that guy in there.
What was that guy's name? [SAM.]
Rinsler, Rinsler.
- Yeah, Dean Rinsler.
- Stashed him there for a week.
I bet that's why Maggie and her crew picked the place.
She remembered it from before.
Thought it'd be an easy target.
What are you talking about? I told you I wanted to find out why Pete and Maggie came back.
I talked to a guy at the gun range he robbed three years ago.
Oh, Jesus, Audrey.
He said it was connected to the robbery of a storage facility in Mount Vernon.
Several people were killed, but one got away: a white woman in her 50s.
You think that was Aunt Maggie? Who else could it be? It could've been anyone.
Oh, Otto, stop! You know who and what our daughter is.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What do I do now? I got a pregnant lady in a storage facility who needs food delivered and her bucket emptied, except there's a man outside who's gonna follow me everywhere I go.
Well, he can't follow all of us.
[REMI.]
I'm sorry.
It's not for sale.
I understand, but could Could you just hear us out for one second.
Um We're personal shoppers for a very high net worth individual.
If anybody says it's Kevin Costner, you didn't hear it from us.
We found photographs of the buffalo online, we sent it to our client.
He believes this is one of the Roosevelt buffaloes, as in shot by Theodore Roosevelt.
Now, you and I both know that's highly unlikely, but once our client gets something in his head, he's hard to convince otherwise, so all I'm saying is that if you were to sell us the buffalo for the going rate, we could turn it around and sell it to you-know-who for ten times that amount, and we would split the difference.
What do you think? What, no? - Hmm - No.
I don't know.
Margaret, tell Remi how much money he stands to make.
I'm sorry, everything that my colleague just told you it's a lie.
I'm so sorry.
Excuse me? Oh, wait Wait, I'm sorry.
- [MAGGIE.]
You okay? - Wait.
[MARIUS.]
I think I'm getting a migraine.
My aura is, uh I need to get my Imitrex.
It's in the car.
- Your what? - My My migraine medicine! I need to get it, in the car.
Wait, Marius Uh, we'll be right back.
What the fuck is wrong with you? I told you to follow my lead! I I just couldn't.
You couldn't what? You couldn't lie? A man got acid thrown in his face.
I think, under the circumstances, it is okay to lie.
You know my problem isn't the lying.
My problem is it was the wrong lie.
That man doesn't care about the money.
Everybody cares about the money! That He doesn't.
He's not - gonna sell the buffalo.
- Oh, is that what your spirit guide is telling you? What, did you read the aura of the buffalo or some bullshit? Don't mock my beliefs.
No, no, I'm not mocking you.
I made $15,000 in two weeks in New Orleans reading sitters.
No, I think it's a great racket.
You know, if we were all such frauds, then how come Ethel knew about your brother's toe? Oh, yeah, no, I'm still working on that one.
Well, you're still working on it because it wasn't a trick.
It's not a trick? Mm, I'm seeing a man.
Oh, stop it.
No, no, he he's [CHEEPING.]
He's wearing a uniform.
Does that mean anything to you? He told you that his dad was military.
No, no, no, this is before Pete's father.
No, this guy promised to get you out of Bridgeport, because he said you were too special to be stuck there, and you believed him, just like you believed all the others who told you the same thing.
There were only two.
Yeah, but by the time the second guy came around, you were so desperate to get out of there, you betrayed your whole family.
You told a lie.
Oh, my God, screw you.
No, that's what my spirit guide's telling me.
No, people come to me because they're in pain.
They're looking for comfort, so I use my gifts to help them.
Every time, just you and your spirit guide? Yeah, fine, I don't have Ethel's extraordinary gift.
Sometimes the spirit it reaches out, sometimes not, so yes, in order not to leave the client hanging, sometimes I use shortcuts to help.
[LAUGHS.]
Shortcuts? You mean like you pay attention to what they wear and how they talk and how they move and what they look at? Maybe you take a peek in their purse when they get up to go to the bathroom? How is that any different from what I do? [SIGHS.]
I use these techniques to help people, not hurt them.
I do it because I don't have Ethel's gift, or yours.
[SIGHS.]
I love the things that you tell yourself.
What is my gift? To just not care.
[DESOLATE MUSIC.]
Which you got from your mother The heroin addict.
Were you Were you reading me now? Pete tell you that? [LAUGHS.]
Pete didn't need to tell me.
I see it when you walk into a room, the way you take the temperature, adjust yourself like an emotional contortionist.
Must be exhausting.
I think I really am getting a migraine.
I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have burned you.
I just I didn't know what to do.
You were barking up the wrong tree.
Greed is rarely the wrong answer.
Well, you know, the thing is, though, this guy, he's got the buffalo and several other pieces set aside, and they're so lovingly displayed, it's clear to me he doesn't want money for them.
He wants people to appreciate them.
Yeah, no, you're right.
You're right.
I I should've seen that.
Well, I I should've handled it differently.
No, this is good.
I think Well, let's work the problem.
Uh, yeah, but how? I mean, he won't sell.
That's okay.
Maybe we're not buying.
You sure? Yeah, I paid attention, in case I had to run.
Want to know how to get back to the highway.
They could've driven in circles to throw you off.
I wasn't blindfolded.
Like they didn't care what you saw.
Jesus.
That must have scared the shit out of you.
You think? [MAGGIE.]
Okay.
Oh.
Oh, hi, Remi.
Sorry Okay, honey, why don't you sit right there? Sit right there, this by the doors of fresh air? Good for your head.
Is he going to be okay? Oh, yeah, he's gonna be fine.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Remi, about what happened earlier.
Oh, you said he was lying.
No, I know, I know.
He was, but he doesn't know that.
He doesn't know it.
Who is this remarkable woman? That was my grandmother.
She's beautiful.
Her spirit just leaps off the canvas.
It does, doesn't it? She ran a Texas dude ranch by herself well into her 80s.
Wow, that's amazing.
Wow.
She was my hero.
- She died a few years ago.
- Did she? All of the not-for-sale items in here were hers.
Oh, all of these? Including the bison.
Oh, r The bison, too? [CRIES.]
My My goodness, are you all right? [CRYING.]
Yes, well [BREATHES DEEPLY.]
Remi My son, he He doesn't have a migraine.
He has a brain tumor.
Oh, I [SOBS.]
Oh, thank you.
Nobody has handkerchiefs anymore, Remi.
It's just, he The radiation shrunk it, but then the chemo didn't work, and so now, we're just I'm taking him around, and just showing him what he wants to see until I am so sorry.
But may I ask why an antiques store? I don't know Wouldn't he rather see the Empire State Building - or something - You know, who can explain these things? It's just he His favorite movie is "Dances with Wolves," and his favorite scene in the movie is the it's the buffalo stampede.
And it's the brain tumor.
It's It's screwing with his head [WHISPERING.]
and it's why he thinks that he's working for Kevin Costner.
My word Yeah.
[REMI.]
Hey, there.
Your mom tells me that you'd like a bison in your home - for your - [MAGGIE.]
For your party.
Your Big party.
Yeah, yeah, you should come.
Kevin's gonna be there.
- Right? - Yes, honey, Kevin will be there.
I promise.
[GUITAR MUSIC.]
[VALERIE.]
About fucking time.
I need to hear you go to the back of the unit.
Who are you? I'm with Bernhardt Bail Bonds.
How do I know you're not with Luis? I suppose you don't, but I control the lock, and I'm here to supply you with food and water.
Step to the back of the unit.
[VALERIE.]
Okay, I'm at the back.
[VALERIE.]
This is illegal.
You'd think so, but it's not.
[VALERIE.]
What about the bucket? [SIGHS.]
Does it need emptying? [VALERIE.]
Well, let's just say it's not only a piss bucket anymore.
[EXASPERATED.]
Oh Put it by the door, then go back.
[VALERIE.]
Fine, I'm done.
Wave your arms so the light goes Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Get me the fuck out of Hey.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- This my storage facility.
This not jail cell.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm fucking with you.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Wow.
You You must be mother of Maggie.
I am.
Hm.
You have name? Is that necessary? It's polite.
Audrey.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Audrey.
You are You want help with bucket? Bako will make sure guest stays.
I think she should learn her lesson.
Ah, smart.
Rub her nose in it, like teaching bad puppy.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I didn't catch your name.
I am Luka.
[KISSES HAND.]
Luka Delchev.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Audrey.
Maggie's mom.
No bucket.
Okay, I think we need to try this again.
I can feel you fighting the urge to shoot me in the back of the head.
Left my gun in the car.
No No, I'm wondering what the hell Julia ever saw in you.
Well, she grew up with a meathead jock for a brother.
I can't blame her for going in the complete opposite direction.
Look how that turned out for her.
That's the wrong question, isn't it? She's a single mother, struggling to get by, you're a reasonably successful lawyer.
Real question's what did you see in her? What a wonderful brother.
I'm serious.
She's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny.
And she's a single mother, struggling to get by.
- What about Trish? - What about her? She come from a fucked-up family? Hm? Maybe suffer from anxiety and depression? I mean, it all fits with your con that you tried to pull on Audrey, right? I mean, how you angled it all so that you could swoop in and save everybody.
Lance You wanna be a hero.
Well, who doesn't? Did you become a cop for the pension plan? You got no idea where this fucking grave is, do you? It was dark, and all these trees looked the fucking same.
Fuck.
[AJ.]
Damn.
[AJ.]
Now that is a goddamn buffalo.
Bison.
Buffaloes are only found in Asia and Africa.
[ROBERT.]
This is the American bison.
Hm.
What's important is that we got one.
Where's Joseph? Joseph's stuck in California.
That's Robert.
Never Bob.
Robert.
Hey, thanks for trusting Marius.
Uh, I didn't trust him.
I tracked his fucking phone.
How'd you get your hands on this girl so fast? Maggie went online and found it in an antique store.
And unfortunately, it wasn't for sale.
And then I fucked everything up, and she saved the day.
Yeah, it was your migraine act that saved it.
[MAGGIE.]
[LAUGHS.]
When you're done congratulating yourselves, how much do we need for the show and tell? We just need proof of concept, so it's the setup, it's the misdirect, and [GLASS SHATTERS.]
[AJ.]
Whoa.
Eh, we got a problem? Uh, yeah.
We're on a schedule.
Fix it.
This isn't gonna work, you need to tell me.
It's gonna work.
You like him better than me.
Oh, my God, no.
You're my only little man.
You're my Pete.
So you take my name and then you take my family, and now you what? You want my mom, too? Huh? You really don't know me, do you? No, I do.
I I know you.
- I know you well enough - I don't want your family.
I want the money.
Pete, listen to his words.
What? No! He What He's a liar.
What can I do to make you believe me? Look, all we're doing is setting up a job.
Once it's done, once it's over, I'm gone.
Pete, we need to find a way to make this work for all of us, honey.
Do you understand? What can we do? We'll do anything.
Anything you ask.
- Yeah.
- [MAGGIE.]
What can we do? [EERIE BELL MUSIC.]
Anything? - Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, Grandma, how are you? Uh, Audrey Bernhardt.
You are? Marius Josipovic.
Uh, Carly! They're here.
Oh, ho! Uh, Otto, this is Pete's friend Marius.
Oh, my God, it's It's It's nice It's nice to meet you.
You know, you look a little familiar to me.
- [AUDREY.]
Have we met before? - [PETE.]
That's highly unlikely.
Where's, uh Where's Taylor? Uh, he'll be here soon.
I'm sorry, honey.
What did you say your name was? Gina.
I'm Marius' girlfriend.
Nice to meet you.
If you'll excuse me, I have to help Julia in the kitchen.
[MAGGIE.]
Oh, hey, Dad.
Hi.
Oh, hi, hon! Marius, it's really a pleasure to Oh! [MARIUS.]
Yeah, he's a He's a hugger.
It was a problem on the cell block.
Yeah Yeah, I imagine it would've been.
Why don't I talk to Maggie, see what I can find out about this storage place? Pete might not even know what's going on.
Like hell.
I bet their two friends are in on it, too, whatever it is.
Seriously? Right now, you see, I calmed down.
Take a deep breath, or that Hey.
They here? Yeah, they're with Grandpa.
You meet Josipovic yet? Not yet.
What if he recognizes me from the hotel? He's the criminal here.
Do you think he killed Winslow? That is not what I meant.
Come on.
When When, uh, when Marius and I were were in the joint together, I would tell him stories about you guys and this place - Yeah.
- And it always lifted our spirits.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, I almost feel like you're my family.
[AUDREY.]
Ha! [OTTO.]
Well, any friend of my grandson's is a friend of mine, and now that you two are back, I'd be happy to have a family dinner every night.
- To family.
- [MAGGIE.]
Oh, thanks, Dad.
- Oh.
- To family.
[ALL TOASTING.]
[JULIA.]
It's really nice of Pete to take care of his cellmate like this.
Yeah, yeah, very sweet.
Hey, Pete, I thought you said that your friend here went to Ottawa.
Well, he's back now.
[LAUGHS.]
What are you, gonna interrogate me now? You can take the cop out of the station [LAUGHTER.]
Holy shit, Taylor, you're a cop now? - [PETE.]
Huh.
- Now? [MARIUS.]
He means now, because in the stories I would tell him, we were kids, and I didn't want to tell him you're a cop, because I didn't want to make him nervous.
But yes, Marius, Taylor's a cop.
He's not gonna arrest anybody, but yeah.
[TAYLOR.]
Not tonight, at least, but there is a New York homicide detective that would really like to talk to Mr.
Josipovic.
Hey, didn't your probation officer call you Josipovic the other day? A lot of questions.
You met Pete's probation officer? Uh, briefly, yeah.
It was a long story.
Yeah, no, that is actually a funny story.
Um, we had a a guard when we were in together who would call us by our cellie's names and it was one of these things that would make us feel unimportant, or, you know - [JULIA.]
That's terrible.
- Yeah.
It's like the dehumanizing prison thing.
Wait, why would your parole officer know what some guard called you in prison? Well, that's what's funny, because - [MAGGIE.]
It's weird.
- No, listen to this.
My parole officer is our guard's brother.
[LAUGHTER.]
[MARIUS.]
No shit.
No, these guys are really intense.
He make you squat and cough, too? Oh, God, Dad - I'm sorry.
- Grandpa.
Pete, I thought you used Josipovic as an alias for your insurance work.
Yeah, I used a lot of different aliases.
It's just what came to my mind, you know? It's probably from the guard.
Well, it seems dangerous, exposing your friend like that.
I agree, I agree, I do, especially considering he didn't he didn't tell me that he was gonna use my name.
- But I did tell you, remember? - No.
Yeah, I did, right before I gave you a cut of the money that I made doing it.
No, but that was after you already did it, so I didn't really have much of a choice Well, I'm not gonna do it anymore.
- Good.
- I'm Pete Murphy from here on out.
It's okay, it's okay.
Gina, how did you How did you and Marius meet? - Was it before or after? - Yeah.
You know, actually, it was during.
- Oh.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm a literacy teacher at the prison and Marius was one of my students.
It sounds creepy, but it's He understood Shakespeare better than any student I've ever taught.
- Wow.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just listening to him read the sonnets, I fell in love.
Huh, wow.
Yeah, I guess some women just have a thing for criminals.
I think it's romantic.
Yeah, it reminds me of, uh, Lila and Danny.
No, no, no, Mom and Dad met when she gave him a concussion.
So, yeah, that's right.
It's a little bit dangerous and romantic, [MAGGIE.]
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
No, no, no, no, it's more like "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe.
" [MAGGIE.]
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, Aunt Maggie? I was wondering if maybe, after this, we could try another reading, maybe try to talk to Mom? Yeah, for sure, of course.
Of course.
[PETE.]
Oh [PETE.]
Hey, wait a second.
You came You were You came in the motel room the the yeah That's the one that Remember I told you, someone brought pizza.
That's because, when you came here that night, and you were thinking about using again, Carly, uh, saw us and she followed us back to the motel.
Isn't that right, Carly? - Yeah.
- What do you mean, "using"? [PETE.]
Pete.
.
Pete He didn't tell you? I'm a drug addict.
He's an ex-drug addict.
He's in recovery right now.
Active drug addict.
My name's Marius Josipovic, and I'm a con man.
I'm the lowest of the low.
I think that murderers are better than me, because what I do is I go in and I lie to people.
I steal their families.
[MARIUS.]
Let's not make this a meeting right now.
Let's not make this a meeting.
[MAGGIE.]
We all make mistakes.
We do.
But, you know, the important thing is we learn from them and we move on.
- [MAGGIE.]
Right? - [GINA.]
Right.
For some of us, uh, mistakes are a pattern we choose to repeat.
What? What does that mean? It means I know about the storage facility! What storage facility? - Carly, go upstairs.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.
Go upstairs! [MAGGIE.]
Don't talk to her that way.
Don't yell at her.
She's not a child.
And you're not her mother! Bad enough you fill her head with nonsense about talking to Lila.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it nonsense.
Pete held up a gun range while you robbed Hall Street Storage in Mount Vernon.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Wait, what? What I don't understand, or can't figure out, is why you sent Julia there, of all places, two days ago.
Maggie, is Julia in danger? [LAUGHS.]
What? No.
Julia had a problem and I actually went - to help her fix it.
I was - It's okay.
They already know about Valerie.
Okay.
I mean, I just was trying to help Julia.
Oh, bullshit! You two show up out of the blue - after all this time.
- [MAGGIE.]
Oh, my God.
You're up to something.
- [MAGGIE.]
I'm not up to anything.
- [MARIUS.]
Grandma, Grandma.
We're here because because Grandpa had a stroke.
That was six months ago! Stop treating us like we're senile.
Tell me why you're really here.
There's nothing to tell.
Tell me, now! [MAGGIE.]
Mom, look, there is nothing to tell.
Then get out of this house! [SIGHS.]
Dad Maggie, I love you, but if you can't tell us what's going on, you've got to leave.
Grandpa All right, all right, I'm out.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Come on, Marius.
Come on.
- All right.
- Gotta go.
Sorry.
No, wait.
Aunt Maggie, wait.
Honey, it's okay.
We'll.
.
We'll contact your mom some other time.
I promise.
You are such a bitch! I just couldn't sit there any longer let them lie to my face.
Doesn't matter.
I'll find out what they're up to.
We may have to put a pin in that, Grandma.
We have some more pressing issues to deal with.
Oh, God.
You didn't find the gun? No, I told you, I found the gun.
I couldn't find the grave.
Gun? Grave? [DISQUIETING MUSIC.]
I'll make coffee.
It was good to see them.
All of them.
God, I never would've recognized Julia.
Really good to see your mom.
So that's it, then.
I'm going to jail.
No, you're not.
That kid That kid who's been following Julia he's the dead guy's son.
He's been living in his dad's house.
Gun turns up there, that's just as good as his grave.
And you don't have to worry about Colin being there.
He's too busy trying to kill Valerie.
Sam and I will go see Luis.
We'll try to get him to lift the hit on Valerie.
I'll go to Dockery, suggest that his money's being messed with.
I mean, I got to think that even Luis Mercado is scared of Chayton Dockery.
And I'll try and find out what Pete and Maggie are up to.
[SYNCOPATED MUSIC.]
[LOUD NOISE.]
[STATIC OVER SPEAKER.]
Ta da! Where'd it go? It's magic, is where it went.
Okay, uh, let's do that again.
This time, hit that deflate button a half second sooner, because I saw the shape when you pulled the sheet.
Nothing about the great trick I put together in no time at all? Well, it was the best trick I've ever seen in my life.
Oh, it was the best trick you've ever seen in your life? - Let's do it again.
- [KENT.]
He's right.
It's a good trick.
But what I don't understand is how they fuck Luka over and keep the money for themselves.
I'm more interested in how they get the buffalo out.
Excuse me, Marius, but who are these people? - Let me - [KENT.]
Oh, he didn't tell you? Well, Mr.
Leon Porter, sir, we're the FBI.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Go away.
You gonna kick me out of the house, too? I'd like you to take a ride with me.
I need your help with something.
No, thank you.
It's not a request.
[GREER.]
There's one for each of you.
Everything you've ever been even suspected of doing since you were 18 years old.
Every con, every hack, every safe cracked, every five-finger discount, every drug pushed on the reserve, every house robbed.
[KENT.]
And we don't need a file for you, because Marius switched your records, so you go to prison, no matter what.
What the fuck And Frank Hooper that isn't your real name, is it? - [KENT.]
You're Luka's guy.
- Luka who? [GREER.]
But that's all history.
The fun part is the future.
That's what brings us things we can charge you with now.
We either have a fingerprint, surveillance video, or snitch willing to testify against you.
Everything from obstruction to conspiracy.
In the case of Margaret Ruth Bernhardt, given her participation in a robbery that left four people dead, it's the brass ring.
Murder in the first.
[KENT.]
The choice is simple, people.
You cooperate and help us take down Luka, or you go to jail.
You You know what you're doing? You know what we call it in the confidence world? It's called an urban cowboy.
It's all hat and no cattle.
You have nothing, so you're trying to intimidate us with all this razzle-dazzle.
I'll give you some razzle-dazzle.
If you had anything, you would charge us, and you would suspend prosecution pending cooperation.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We'll do our job, you do your job, and we'll see who wins.
How about we just tell Luka how you're planning to fuck him over? You all go to the tub, snap, crackle, pop.
You don't think Luka already knows that we might rip him off? He's got a guy right here.
He's watching us.
Frankly, I'm insulted that you think we would fold so easily.
So if you have nothing else, we're gonna get back to work.
Well, it seems Marius has made the choice for all of you.
Hope you're all prepared to live with the consequences.
So, Marius.
Now, I'm curious.
Uh, just when did the presence of the FBI slip your mind? I was going to tell you about the FBI.
When? When we're just about to go to trial? They don't have anything.
- They don't? - No.
Uh, let's see what Luka has to say about that.
Luka already knows that they're watching.
Oh, he knows, but we don't? - Well, you do now.
- [PORTER.]
Oh, I do now? - Yeah.
- Let's go.
[MARIUS.]
Oh, for Christ's sake.
[PORTER.]
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait, where you going, man? [AUDREY.]
It's good you aren't speaking to me.
That way, I can talk, and you can listen.
Your aunt was right about one thing.
You're not a child anymore.
It's time you knew why my relationship with Maggie is what it is.
A few years after Pete's father died, your aunt took up with a guy named Derek.
He was a crook she had met through our family business.
When Derek went to jail on a rather large charge, your aunt Maggie bailed him out without collateral and without asking us, ran with him to California, dragging little Pete along with her.
The cops caught up with them, Derek went to prison, and Maggie never forgave me.
[MOURNFUL MUSIC.]
How did the cops find them? I got an address off the letters Maggie sent to Lila.
My mom gave up on Maggie? No.
She was hiding the letters.
I found them.
When Lila learned what I'd done, she was furious.
Lost all trust in me.
We were never the same after that.
At times, I thought about trying to patch things up, but I didn't know how.
When she died, my chance to ever do so died with her.
Because of what your aunt did, I lost both my daughters, and I refuse to let any more of Maggie's actions cost me my family again.
So what are we gonna do about it? So, why am I here? Your money's in trouble.
How's that? To take care of it, I made a deal with Luis Mercado to run it through his legit businesses.
In exchange, I had to use some of it to bond someone out for him.
Now, he's trying to kill her.
I don't see how that affects my money.
Now, you get the bond back, whether she's dead or alive.
How How do you know that? Well, the way I see it, it's a win-win-win.
Let Luis have Valerie, I get my money laundered, and you no longer have to be my launderer.
What do you care about Valerie, anyway? She's a criminal.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
And I'm a bail bondswoman, not an executioner.
Uh, technically, you'd just be the guard walking her to the execution.
Nobody blames that guy.
All I need is a location.
And if I say no? Then you're the only one who loses.
What are you gonna do, kill me? Threaten my kids? Whoa I would never do that.
But that young guy, Colin, or whatever his name is, real go-getter.
I thought it was the 50 grand I got on Valerie's head, but there's something else driving him.
It's like it's personal.
You should see what he did to my man Omar.
Who knows what he might do to you? So Just tell me where Valerie is, I call off the kid.
Don't tell me where Valerie is, I'll call junior hitman and tell him where you are.
Well, then, I think I have a compromise.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC.]
Fuck.
Pssh.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Bravo.
That's good.
Thank you.
How? And don't give me fucking "magician secret" bullshit.
It's Um, it's an inflatable sheet, so the CO2 cartridges fill ribs that are in the sheet which mimics the the shape of the buffalo and we remove the buffalo uh, and then the the sheet deflates when someone pulls on it.
And how How buffalo gets out of casino? We're still working on that.
You gonna tell him now? Or should I? Tell me what? Well, there's a little bit of a bump in the road.
Ha, "bump.
" More like the front range of the Himalayas.
[MARIUS.]
It's the, um It's the FBI.
Fucking FBI.
Not new.
Well, I know FBI.
This is different.
[FRANK.]
To make the buffalo disappear, Marius had to make a loud noise to distract us.
To get the FBI's head to swivel, take a nuclear blast.
Well I fool big organization before.
I fool four to get 15 million out of Yugoslavia.
That's Albanians, Italians, Serbians, and Montenegrins.
All due respect, Luka, this is the FBI, not some Balkan government in the middle of a war.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
Not government.
Mafia.
Very sophisticated.
United Nations send 15 million to Balkan to buy medicines during war.
Money intercepted by general.
Goran Bobetchko.
[SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE.]
This is a bad man.
But it's too much money for Bobetchko to sneak out by himself, so he needs partners.
HERE IS PLAN: Albanian mafia get money to coast.
Montenegrin mafia sail money from coast to Italy.
Only, here is problem.
Montenegrins, they don't have a boat, but they know me, so we load money onto Papa's squid boat, and Bobetchko sail off to Italy with me.
[LAUGHS.]
We land and I run into town to buy food and wine, you know, to celebrate, and I keep going.
Bobetchko go to look for money on Papa's squid boat.
Oh! No money! [LAUGHS.]
Money on other boat.
Luka's boat, heading to New York City.
I was own decoy.
Do same here.
FBI want me.
FBI think I have money, they will follow.
So you lead the FBI away while Marius steals the buffalo.
Well, we do have a second buffalo, which is good.
We would need a A second build.
We only have, uh, three nights to be ready.
Why then? There's a woman at the casino.
She works there, she knows me.
We have to go on her days off.
It's doable.
I think it's doable.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Not asking.
Saying.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
