Sneaky Pete (2015) s02e09 Episode Script

Fuck! I don't know her name, but she's English.
She helped Pete run a con on Lance to get back some money he stole.
- What? - It's too long and complicated.
Anyway, I heard her say she has a bookstore on Bleecker in the Village.
Gonna find her, gonna make her tell us what Maggie and Pete are really up to.
Grandpa and Sam lied to me.
Lied about what? What happened to Mom and Dad, the accident.
They told me that they were hit by some drunk, but Taylor said that the police report didn't mention the guy was drunk.
And then they said, "Well, maybe the cop made a mistake," but I could tell they were lying.
Well, my guess is that your grandpa and Sam were drunk themselves.
The man who killed Lila and Danny may or may not have been drunk, but he was a drunk.
Jacques Reynard.
His family came down from Quebec a few generations back.
Strong Catholics.
Good people.
Until Jacques.
Pardon my French, but he was a mean motherfucker.
She didn't call or text? I think she picked up my tail.
She slowed down when she came by here, but then kept going.
- There you go.
- What do you want, Sean? I never thanked you.
Thanked me for what? The firecrackers in my locker, the roaches in my gym clothes, the name calling, the threats The fucking crayfish.
We were kids.
Did you know crayfish feel pain? - No.
- Oh True fact.
But their shells get tougher because of it.
You see where I'm going with this? - You're the fucking crayfish.
- Exactly.
- Mm.
- And all of the practical jokes you and your fucking cousin played on me just made me stronger.
I thought maybe you came here to talk about Shannon.
In a minute.
I just wanna savor this, 'cause almost 20 years later, one of us is the CEO of a successful business, pulling out a half mil a year, and one of us is a fucking cop.
You're banging her, right? Simple question.
Are you banging my wife? Yeah.
Better you than me at this point.
I was into her once, but You eat filet mignon every night, you kinda lose your taste for it, you know? She should've left you a long time ago.
Was that the plan? Wait for the Hartford deal to go through, and then split, take half? Yeah, I figured.
You should tell her to take a look at the paperwork I signed when I took over for Daddy.
Since you didn't go to college, I'll explain.
ANB is now a separate entity, what we call a holding company, and as such is not subject to community property statutes.
I can't really see Shannon living off a cop's salary, can you? It's not just about the money.
Come on, you know what they say about love and money, don't you? When you say you want both, you really just want the money.
AJ, how far can you snake the tube? According to the blueprint, I only have to go 20 yards.
Are you gonna keep doing this Henry the Five checking-on-his-troops routine, or are you gonna lend a hand? We few, we happy few.
I'm not happy.
Is this gonna be ready by noon tomorrow? Not having an actual slot to test it on, your guess is as good as mine.
That's not true.
My guess isn't a guess.
How loud is it gonna be? You mean as measured on a decibel scale? Let's see, uh, lawnmower's 90 decibels, jet engine is 120, hearing damage can occur at 85 decibels, gunshots are 140.
This will be about Ah! That work? What is his problem? Lack of friends.
I thought you were headed to the casino.
Soon.
What name do you want? Something that you forget a second after you hear it.
$11 million is a lot of money.
You sure you know what you're in for? I'm in for $11 million.
What about you? I'm doing it for her.
What, Maggie? I had my shot at big money.
My tribe was gonna build a casino.
I saw nothing but trouble.
My son saw only dollars.
- What happened to the casino? - Council voted for it.
Then members of the tribe started getting kicked out.
Fewer members meant more money for those who remain.
It never got built.
And now I work for another tribe's casino.
Gotta get to work.
You guys best friends now? Kwahu was your cut-out, wasn't he? He's how you and Pete communicated when you were on the run.
I've known Kwahu since I was 14 years old.
Dad used to take me with him if he had a client on the reserve.
Let me guess, he he understood your gifts.
No, he had the best weed.
Julia, hi.
No, Sam and I have been to Luis' place.
He wasn't there.
So much for taking the hit off Valerie.
I know.
He's with Dockery.
I'm out of leverage, and now Ayawamat is hunting for me.
Sam and I will come and get ya.
No, no, no, I'm fine, but can you pick up Ellen and Jacob and take them to someone completely unconnected - to the family? - Uh, well, yeah, sure, but I'm worried about you.
Luis and Ay Ayawamat, they're not gonna stop looking for you.
I got a place to lie low.
Pretty sure no one will think to look for me here.
Yeah.
Hannah, baby Come on, wake up.
I got you coffee.
- Just 30 minutes.
- No, no, not today.
You got make-up duty.
What the hell are you talking about? Those two old fucks, the ones you let into the house to steal the Proclamation, you gotta make right.
I need you to watch Valerie's house.
Can't I just give you a handy or something? That's tempting, but no.
Come on.
Can I have a gun? - You want my gun? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- Mm, yeah? Yeah.
- I wanna carry your gun.
- Oh, you wanna carry my gun? - I like your - Mmm You know, I'll be leaving for work soon.
Do you do you need a ride? I'm not leaving until it's dark.
Seriously? Fuck, come on Huh Arnold What was Suzanne so excited about? She got some great news.
That's not great news.
Um uh I don't know.
Yeah, I'll call you back.
- Well, who was that? - That was that was Kwahu.
Uh, Suzanne, the casino manager, she's having the buffalo authenticated - by the Smithsonian.
- When? Tomorrow at noon.
So, this is what we have.
Uh, they find out that it's a regular buffalo; they put it back in the museum; we have to scrap everything and start over.
That's the best-case scenario.
The worst-case scenario is that they find the $11 million, and it's the biggest jackpot the casino's ever had.
There has to be another option.
We go tonight.
- Tonight - We go in with half a build and no rehearsal.
We have to convince them, but I don't Uh, look, you're a professional, and you've been doing this all your life, and, uh, so has every member of your team.
Right, so but even if we were gonna go in with half a build, Suzanne's working tonight, and if she doesn't recognize me, she's gonna recognize you and Geno.
Then get her out of the picture.
What's with all the confidence? Look, two days ago, you were in a car, on your way to die in a tub of acid And now, you're here.
Hm? Katie? I'm sorry, but the number you've reached no longer takes calls from con men, looking to get out of trouble.
$5,000, three hours, including travel.
No guns, no nudity.
Tell me you don't need the money.
What is it? It's a 24 hour Montezuma.
- Who, what, where when? - It's the Mohegan Sun; it's a casino manager; you're a Hartford reporter; and it has to be this afternoon.
All right, you provide the cocktail.
All right, change of plans.
- We gotta go in tonight.
- Very funny.
No, I'm serious.
We turn into a pumpkin tomorrow at noon.
The machines aren't ready.
I know.
I know, we gotta work faster.
That that's not possible.
It's physically impossible, Marius.
Finish the crate and wrap it.
- And what's inside? - Nothing.
We move tonight You have the casino manager to deal with.
You're gonna put her in the crate? Katie's taking care of that.
I thought she was out.
She's doing a surprise guest performance.
How's the water gag coming along? Well, you want it done right or do you want it done fast? - I want it done both.
- It it's like telling Monet to hurry up with the water lilies.
The bigger the payout, the bigger the mistakes.
You're letting all this money just f fuck up your head, son.
Look, I I know that I'm no con, but I also know that rushing is a mistake.
Oh, God.
Porter Do you remember that wildcatter we took down in East Texas? It was you, me, and the mark standing in the middle of an empty oil field.
We had 30 minutes of prep and an oil can filled with ink, and that was it.
AJ, what about that safe we cracked on Rodeo Drive? In the middle of the day during operating hours.
We we had no preparation, but we took advantage of the opportunity.
Pete, Gina, not Bob, this is the job that I'll be referencing the next time you guys have doubts.
This is it.
He's right.
Let's make a crate.
Wrap that shit.
Let's go.
You gotta pass this by Luka.
He doesn't like surprises.
I'll explain it to him.
He'll understand.
Yeah.
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Find other way.
There is no other way.
It's this, or lose your $11 million.
You think I forget? Forget what? You're a con man.
Hm? - This is a set-up.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, huh? You think you going to steal my fucking money? I swear to God.
I swear to God, Luka Luka, I was there when the call came in.
This is not bullshit.
It's a real fucking problem.
And how you know he is not playing you? 'Cause his team was caught off-guard.
They're pissed off, fighting with him.
They don't wanna do it.
They don't wanna do it? So how you gonna pull this off? Your team doesn't want to do it.
- You.
- Me what? They all know you, your reputation.
They respect you.
If you say go tonight, they will go tonight.
According to the sign, the bookworm should've been open two hours ago.
Maybe Pete warned her, you know, in case you came looking.
You might be right.
Taylor says I'm smart, that I can do anything I want.
I wanna do this, what we're doing now.
I wanna learn the bail bond business and take down bad guys.
- Carly - Mom did it, and she was good.
Grandpa told me.
I can be good too.
That might be the only thing that she passed down to me, other than the vague facial resemblance that I just don't see.
Carly, it's not about bringing down bad guys.
Most of our clients are good people.
They just made a mistake and need some help.
But sometimes, we get a chance to ruin a bad guy's day.
Ah Come on.
Excuse me? - I saw you delivering the mail.
- Oh - You know the owner? - I most certainly do.
For whatever reason, I always get her mail.
Oh, well, maybe you can help me.
Um, my brother's a preacher, has a little church near our home in Stony Brook.
Collects rare books.
He's quite passionate about it, right, Carly? Yeah, yeah, you should see his house.
Books everywhere.
Yeah.
I heard this store has a rare Ben Hur, 1860.
Normally, they sell first editions, but this is a third edition, with the erratum on page 116.
- Erratum? - Oh It's a printing error.
I I learned the term from my brother.
And Carly wants to give it to him as a birthday present.
I've been saving up.
Is there any chance you might have her cellphone number? It's a long drive from Stony Brook, and I need to get her home for cheerleading tryouts.
No, Grandma, this is way more important.
Uh, there's always next year.
I No, sure, but I can tell you where she is.
Uh, today's her scavenge day.
She goes to this indoor flea market in Brooklyn on the corner of Hawthorne and Albany.
Oh, thank thank you so much.
Sure.
Where did all that come from? Movie.
Wow.
Grandma's good at this too.
Mm-hm.
Tim, didn't we have an HVAC maintenance inspection last year? - We did.
- Our company was bought out.
Our new boss is having us do these once a year now.
He's all about preventative maintenance.
Get me Business Affairs.
We're not paying for - a second maintenance.
- Oh, you don't have to.
It's included in the current contract.
Get Security.
Have them escort him to the access room.
We wouldn't wanna pass up free service.
- Ah - Great.
- Ah - Ha.
Looks like the float from Animal House.
Everybody's a critic.
Where the fuck is Katie? That's her calling right now.
Speak of the devil.
Where are you? - Heading back to White Plains.
- What? I just I got a call from Amanda's school.
She's She sprained her ankle in gym.
I don't know, I have to pick her up.
Well, why why can't why can't Brendon do that? I'm closer.
Okay, look, it's just a sprain.
She's gonna be fine.
$5,000 is gonna help with the medical expenses.
I hope you never have kids.
Wait hell Oh, fuck.
Katie bailed.
Uh, Marius, without her getting the casino manager out of the picture, you don't get on the floor, and if you don't get onto the floor Porter, Porter, I know.
Marjorie? She doesn't wanna have anything to do with us.
Karolina? She's in Vegas.
We have Pete.
What? You want him to be a reporter? Do you remember him at dinner with the family? He has a hard time sticking to the plot.
If anybody has any other ideas, I'm open to suggestions.
Anyone? Ah, shit.
No.
No, I'm not gonna do well.
I'll fuck it up, just like I did last time.
I'm not gonna let you down again, Mom.
- Honey, you won't.
- You're gonna have an earpiece.
You're gonna have an earpiece.
Yeah, and he's gonna coach you through the whole thing.
I'm gonna coach you through everything.
But, Mom, I've never run a con before.
Listen, Pete okay, listen, the trick is, you use the truth when you wanna tell a lie.
- What? - All right, you're you're you're going in there as Pete Murphy I'm But if you need to make something up, you talk about something you know already.
- Mm-hm.
- Like prison.
It's kinda like prison, but it's you put a twist on it - Mm-hm.
- You you know what I mean? Right.
Like, you know, in prison, we're we're We're behind bars, right? So so I say I say that I'm a pet store owner, because animals are in cages, which is like prison.
- No.
No.
Stop.
- Animals are in cages, - so that's just like a prison.
- Stop.
No.
- No, no, no.
- Why? - You don't work at a pet store.

- Yeah.
- Okay? That's it.
- Okay.

- What is that? It's just a concentrated laxative.
What? - Yeah.
- I give her the shits? Yeah, she goes home, she has a rough couple of hours, - and then she's fine.
- Marius Yeah.
- Yes.
- Oh, it's gonna be great.
It's gonna be great.
All right, wire him up.
It's gonna be great.
Uh, can I help you? What are you gonna do with your skip? I'm gonna get her from the storage and bring her to jail.
You'd have to return the fee.
Better than seeing her killed.
Your Trish isn't big on housecleaning, is she? No - Don't.
- What? Try to ingratiate yourself by agreeing with me.
I I don't think that's what I was doing.
She's just not big on cleaning.
Well, you're here all day.
What's preventing you from picking up a dust rag and pitching in? Where is this coming from? Did you tell Taylor that you were with me because you wanted to rescue me? No, Taylor said that.
- Was he right? - Fuck.
I don't know, Julia.
It's all part of the package, right? I also said you were beautiful, smart and funny.
Did Taylor mention that? No but he wouldn't.
Why does anybody fall in love with anybody? Wasn't part of my appeal the fact that I was a successful lawyer? And sometimes, you made me laugh.
You want a drink? No.
It's dark enough.
I'm gonna go.
It's been fun.
Not really.
You know, I never asked Running away, wh where were you gonna go? I'm not sure But after that night, I, um Just wanted some place to hide away for a while.
Mmm.
What's with the earpiece? Now, say, "I'm waiting on a call from my editor.

Oh.
Okay.
Is it true you found out it was a Teddy Roosevelt buffalo by accident? Well, um, around here, we call accidents luck.
