Leverage: Redemption (2021) s02e11 Episode Script
The Belly of the Beast Job
1
I'm so sorry if I caused
Mr. Hogan any trouble.
I misunderstood.
I would never accuse him. I just
I would remind you,
your NDA prohibits you
from speaking about
anything that happened here.
Please. I have no savings.
I'm in a month-to-month sublet.
I gave up everything for this job.
All I've ever wanted to do
is to help make music.
NDA also says that if you disclose
anything from your time here,
you forfeit your severance.
You're gonna need that money.
So make smart choices, for once.
See her out.
Ma'am.
Make sure she gets clear of the building
and wipe that laptop.
I need to go find a replacement.
Hi. I'm Jenna.
No. Okay. That's too casual. Um
I am a big fan.
Okay, what are you,
a creepy stalker now?
I mean, ugh.
Monroe. Jenna Monroe.
What is wrong with me?
We didn't call for you.
No.
And you're probably not going to
because I'm pretty sure
that everybody in that room
has much better resumes than me,
and Ivy League degrees and
high-profile internships.
I've got none of that.
And you're gonna hire one of
them before you even get to me.
Okay. I'm calling security.
Hold on.
Speech first, then security.
Go, kid.
Problem is, if you hire
one of those people,
they're not gonna work like I will
because they don't want it like I do.
I mean, I worked two
jobs and lived at home
to put myself through state school
to get a dual degree
in music and business.
I have no fallback.
This job would literally be my life.
I mean, late nights, weekends.
All I want is to be a small
part of what you guys do here,
find new artists and
introduce them to the world,
because I truly believe
that music can change lives.
Let me help you change lives.
That's the kind of fire
we need around here.
I am sold. You're hired.
Oh, my God!
Thank you! Thank you.
- I'll send the other ones home.
- Yeah.
- Uh, do you want my resume?
- No.
Thank you! Thank you.
The position has been filled.
Thank you for your interest.
We will keep resumes
for future consideration.
- Aw, man.
- Great.
Um, guys, I think we have a problem.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You weren't here when I
interviewed. Are you new, too?
I am. It's my first day.
My name is Jeb. Nice to meet you.
- Jenna.
- Jenna.
I hope Steve's okay.
Oh, the dude that was here before me?
Uh, yeah, he's fine.
He won a cruise around the world.
I'm filling in for him
while he's gone, so
- Wow. How random is that?
- Yeah.
Well, seems like
everybody is getting lucky.
- Bye.
- See you.
Mr. Hogan's coffee must
be exactly 130 degrees.
1-3-0 degrees.
Mr. Hogan's office is his sanctum.
You don't show anyone in
there, even with an appointment,
without clearing it with me.
You don't go in there
without clearing it with me.
And under no circumstances, do
you ever, ever put a call through
from his ex-wife, Sylvia.
Okay. No call, Sylvia.
This is Mr. Brimley, head of security.
He has your standard NDA.
Gotta sign before you can start to work.
- Oh.
- Company rules.
Yeah. It's just, uh, I
have a business degree,
so I like to really read every clause.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Mr. Hogan's calendar is on your laptop.
That calendar must be kept current.
At the end of every day, you
will send the updated calendar
to myself and Mr. Brimley, understood?
Yes, ma'am.
Carol! Help me.
You're the only one who can make
sense out of any of this stuff.
I'm on my way.
Okay. Looking forward
to working with you, too.
What's this?
Huh.
Lethbridge Stewart.
Huh.
Mr. Hogan, I'm sorry to bother you,
but I noticed something odd
about a calendar appointment.
Why don't you come on
in here and fill me in?
Oh, I am Carol said
that I'm not supposed to
Yeah, don't worry about
Carol. Come on in here.
Oh!
Yeah, don't worry about Carol.
I know she seems like a hard-ass,
but she's really a big softie at heart.
- Oh, really?
- Oh, yeah.
You should see her bookshelf.
- Wall-to-wall romance novels.
- Oh.
It's motion-activated.
I get an alert on my phone
whenever it detects movement.
But everybody can use a little
privacy from time to time, right?
Yeah.
Confidential client
meetings, stuff like that.
Wanna try?
I can help you.
Actually, uh, Mr. Hogan,
it's about your calendar.
Carol set an appointment with,
uh, Ms. Lethbridge Stewart
from Be Funky Records.
Oh, yeah, that's our parent label.
Well, that name, uh, Lethbridge Stewart,
it's a it's a Doctor Who character.
From the TV show.
- Oh.
- Yes.
So, I figured, what if someone was,
you know, trying to get an appointment
with you under false pretenses?
Oh. Like my ex-wife. Sylvia.
I checked Be Funky's website directory.
Nobody with the name works there.
Carol!
We need to cancel the
- Lethbridge Stewart.
- Lethbridge Stewart meeting.
Good catch, Jenna.
I knew you were the right girl.
What did I tell you about
going into his office?
What are you?
Oh, sorry. Do you know where IT is?
I, uh, think I got turned around.
Uh-oh. Hmm.
Oh.
Music is mighty good ♪
See all the people
come from miles around ♪
- Hi.
- Heard about the ♪
Oh, hey, there's a person here.
There's, uh, never a person.
Hi, person.
I'm Jenna. I'm Mr.
Hogan's new assistant.
This is where you say your name.
Uh, Keith.
Hi. Uh
Uh, what can I do for
you happily? Anything?
Uh, this laptop belonged
to the last assistant.
And there's a file on
here that won't open.
Did you know the last assistant?
Uh, no, I mostly stay down here.
There's a lot of
turnover and, uh, it's
you know, it's kind of
an intense place to work.
I have noticed.
Um, I used to wipe people's computers
after they left, but Brimley
- you know, from security?
- Mm-hmm.
- Decided to take over. Huh.
- Hmm.
Okay. It was a hidden text file.
I mean, most of it is gibberish
because Brimley tried to wipe the drive.
I I can read some sentences.
Mr. Hogan did that
to all these women?
I need the last assistant's address.
Hi, April. I'm Jenna.
I found your file at Box 5 Music.
Please, please, don't
close the door on me.
I don't want any more trouble.
Somebody's trying to silence you.
I know what that can do to a person.
It eats you up from the inside.
Thank you.
I'm moving back home.
Slinking away in defeat,
I guess you'd say.
I would never say that.
I tried, you know. I did.
I told Carol.
She said I misunderstood Hogan,
but it just kept happening.
I don't know why I
started keeping the notes.
I got stories,
evidence from the other
girls at the office
before they quit or got fired.
I never really had a plan
for what to do with them.
I just felt like
Somebody have to do something.
One of the other women who got fired,
she said she was
contacting a local lawyer,
Harry something.
Willis, Winslow, or
But I never heard anything.
So I, um
took the severance payment.
Hmm.
I just wanna move on
and forget about it.
My, um, older sister, Quinn,
eight years ago she was studying
to become a social worker.
Uh, she had this professor
that she saw as a mentor,
you know, at first.
And then
she reported it to the school
and they just, you know,
said, "He said, she said."
And she tried to keep going
and she did for a few months.
And eventually, she had to drop out.
I'm so sorry.
But I don't have any fight left.
Then let me do the fighting.
I just need you to trust
me, just a little bit.
If you find more proof, I'll help.
But where are you
Is this your severance check?
Mm-hmm. More like hush money.
Can I borrow this?
Perfect.
It's the wrong bank.
I have no idea what
that means, but okay.
And why are we out here?
So, no one inside hears us.
Oh, we can use that
new food truck as cover.
Okay. This isn't the same
bank that the company uses.
Hogan's using an off-book account
to pay off the women that he harasses.
How do you know that?
Business degree.
What'll it be, sweetheart?
Uh, I'll have the gumbo, please.
- Thank you.
- I'll just have what she's having.
No kidding? I bet you will.
If I can prove Hogan's
illegally moving funds around,
the parent studio's lawyer
won't defend his NDAs.
April and all the
other women can testify.
Look, I'm not the kind of person
who says, like, let the bad guys win.
But what if you're right?
What will he do next?
Hogan's a powerful guy.
The power is the point, Keith.
That's how he gets away with all this,
through power and fear of that power.
Hogan abuses women, he bullies them,
and then through his NDAs,
he steals their voices,
their future, their power.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So let's go steal it back.
- I know what you're thinking.
- What?
That she's a civilian.
And that Hank Hogan
has been getting away
with sexually assaulting women
just like Jenna for years.
Yeah, and he bullies
them into keeping silent
by using private detectives
and these hired thugs
disguised as security.
Not to mention the NDAs that'll
have them sued into oblivion
if they dare to speak out.
So it's safer to send Jenna
on a cruise around the world?
- By force?
- No.
Jenna wants to help these young women,
so we are gonna help her.
Your smile is very contagious, you know?
Oh, I just love your
accent. It's so European.
Is it Belgian?
- Well
- No.
There's some sexy
Liechtenstein in there.
What?
- Oh.
- Hello?
I'm sorry, Hans.
I I'm gonna have to put
you on hold for a minute.
But, Carol
I'm, uh, I'm sorry to bother you.
I got a memo about a
possible security breach
and IT wanted everyone to install
these cyber security sweep things
on their personal computers to
connect to the company server.
I mean, I don't know.
It went way over my head.
Oh, for God's sake.
I'm not sticking a random
thumb drive in my computer
because some Nebraskan high
school drama club treasurer
tells me to do it.
Vice president.
Uh, okay. That's fine.
I'll just tell IT you said no.
But I know we got a lot
of trade secrets here,
so I'd really hate for one of
our secrets to get out, but
Great. Bye.
Yeah.
Be still my heart. There she is.
Ah!
- Nice.
- Mm-hmm.
So Carol's computer syncs
through the calendar app
to Brimley's and Hogan's.
So, I'm in all three.
- Um, how'd you get her to install it?
- Oh, she mocked drama club,
but she succumbed to
my mad thespian skills.
- Are you a thespian?
- Mm-hmm.
Because I'm a thespian.
Like, I love thespians.
I well, I was.
I still am. A thespian.
Hmm.
- Oh! What do we have?
- Oh.
Do we have proof that
Hogan is moving our money?
Uh, no. Carol just
downloaded another movie.
Movie?
Carol's hard drive is basically
illegally downloaded Hallmark movies.
She likes the ones where the
guy is, like, a secret prince
but he's living another life in the
States as a Christmas tree farmer,
or a rancher, or a carpenter.
Look. She is even on this dating app
where she only picks working-class guys
who speak with foreign accents.
She's really trying to find a duke
who's pretending to be a lumberjack?
Carol appears to be trying
to manifest a lumberduke.
Yes.
And, uh, Brimley just has equally
detailed dossiers on everyone.
What's in mine?
I didn't read it.
Of course you didn't. But Hogan?
Unfortunately, he doesn't keep any
of his financials on his computer.
- Hmm.
- I hate luddites.
Yeah, when I talked
to April, she said that
you're really in his inner circle
when he lets you draw up a contract.
I mean, that's when you
get to see the records.
Okay. So, we got to get
you into his inner circle.
Then, we'll get proof Hogan's dirty.
But I am an assistant. I mean,
that's gonna take me years.
- Oh.
- Oh.
That's the place that Hogan was
having a music showcase tonight.
Not anymore.
They got shut down
after all the customers
and performers got food poisoning.
This is my chance.
If I can find him another singer,
I'll be the hero, and
then I can lever that
into some access into his office.
And I can find where
the bodies are buried.
Cool.
But how am I gonna find
a replacement singer?
I
Hey, I got an alert
from that food truck.
They're outside again.
- You wanna grab lunch?
- Yeah, definitely.
Man, that venue closing,
how random was that?
Yeah. How random was that?
Hey. How can I help you?
Two gumbos, please.
Gumbo times two. On it.
My treat this time.
- Oh.
- I don't believe in fairy tales ♪
Least what the old ones say ♪
Are you by any chance
a professional singer?
Oh, no.
I mean, I'm trying to be.
Uh, my friends, they have
this, uh, performance space.
I sing there a few nights a week.
What kind of performance space?
They just rebuilt it. It's
actually not far from here.
Is it free tonight? Are you
performing there tonight?
Yeah. I mean, as a matter of fact, I am.
I'll give you my number.
If you are performing tonight,
I will get you one of
the biggest music execs
in all of the country
to come hear you sing.
Deal.
Awesome.
Hello, sir.
Uh, yes, sir.
I saw the calendar notification
and I have a solution.
And there's someone you should hear.
She's singing tonight.
Yes. I'm talking too much.
Uh, but, yes, I have a venue.
Wow. Uh, thank you.
Thank you.
He told me that I show great initiative
and he wants me to be more
involved in the business.
- Yes!
- And he wants me to go with him
- to the showcase tonight.
- No.
- Jenna, you can't.
- I have to.
I'll be careful.
'Cause I just need you to believe ♪
In me ♪
Oh, no time to change
after work, I guess.
I was hoping to see you
in your club clothes.
- Yeah.
- Well, at least we got drinks.
What's your poison?
Cuba Libre.
Ooh. Cheers.

And this is my manager, Bridget.
She also owns the bar.
Oh.
Pleasure to meet you.
Oh. And you've met my
lovely assistant, Jenna?
No, but charmed.
Are you are you all right?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, you just remind me of someone.
Oh.
The woman from the food truck.
Sorry. Uh, I think I misheard.
I thought you said I look
like I work in a food truck.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not now.
Um, and she has a New York accent.
Right. Right.
Well, you know, Bridget,
my very British
- British. Yeah. British.
- manager, she does look a lot
like that lady I work
with what's her name?
- Susan, from Queens.
- Oh!
Yeah, they do favor.
- It's uncanny that's not her, though.
- No, not me.
- Definitely not.
- Wow. That is fascinating, ladies.
But I think it's time
we talk some business.
- Oh.
- Mm.
Jenna, go get us a couple of
fresh drinks. Meet me outside.
Oh, I was really hoping to
see this side of the business.
Oh, yes. By all means, let her stay.
Jenna is a great girl, but
this is above her level.
Maybe next time, kiddo.
Excuse me.
She looked that much like her?
Uh, I feel like I'm losing my mind.
You're under too much pressure.
You should have let me come.
"Sure. I'd love to
come to a bar with you,
creepy predator man
who keeps perving on me
and trying to get me to drink,
so I have to pretend my
diet Coke is a Cuba Libre.
Oh, hey, do you mind if I bring
the guy from IT as my date?"
Well, it wouldn't have
been a date per se.
- Unless, uh
- Oh, shoot! He's coming.
I got to go. Bye.
Hey, how did it go?
Ah, she owns the place,
and is looking to partner
with somebody for a music festival.
Local talent we can sign
before anybody else sees them.
Great publicity and sweet,
sweet tax breaks from the state.
Oh, that's amazing.
- You've such an eye for opportunity.
- Mm-hmm.
I have an eye for a lot of things.
So, um, do you think I can be there
when you draw up the contracts?
- You? God, You have such potential.
- Yeah.
You are so eager.
Oh, I love eager.
- Eager about work? Yeah.
- Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
Well, you see the thing
about making work work
is finding the right mentor.
Let me ask you something, Jenna.
Do you want access to
the executive suites? Hmm?
Do you wanna play in the big game?
How far are you willing to go?
What I mean is
if you can learn to get
along with pizza barefoot
if you could swallow bathing suits of
I'm sorry. What?
Franco, Sarah, uh, um
Hmm.
- Oh, there you are.
- Carol.
- Carol!
- Oh, oopsie daisy.
Oh, no.
You don't look at all well.
Come on, let's sit down.
There you go.
I saw you.
Darling, go to the bar and find
someone to stick him in a cab.
- Stick him in a bag?
- Stick him in a cab.
- Cab.
- Stick 'em up.
Looks like your friend
can't handle his booze.
I didn't think he had
that much to drink.
Did you just roofie
a serial sex offender?
Do tigers wear tutus?
Regardless I also see
a lot of potential in you,
and I look forward to seeing how
you accomplish your next big job.
You, you mean, as in the assistant job?
In a manner of speaking, yes.
Oh, there they go.
Good luck.
We'll be watching.
Sylvia Hogan.
Uh, Mrs. Hogan ex-Mrs. Hogan.
Um, no, he's not in right now.
Uh, but I will let him know
that you called about the
Yes, I'm writing this down.
The enormous check that he owes you
and to send the money
or you will burn down
everything he loves.
Yes. Got it. Okay.
Car oh, God.
Carol.
I found a new singer
and a new venue to boot.
I need you to start processing contracts
'cause we need to have
a regular showcase there.
How did you find the venue?
The kid and I went out last night.
She found her.
She's smart.
And she can hold her booze.
You went out with him last night?
Uh, I was the one who found the singer.
And if there are contracts or
financial agreements, I mean,
I do have a business degree,
and I would love to be a part
of that side of the company.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
You're trying to worm
your way up the company
without paying your dues.
Every one of your
generation is like this.
- No. I promise
- I spent five years
sitting in an assistant's chair
before I was invited
to a proper meeting.
And you will not get to
do management-level work
as long as I'm around.
Now I'm gonna go get my laptop
and process this paperwork with Hank.
And you are not to go into his office.
Get to work!
Box 5 Music, Hank Hogan's
Office. How may I help you?
Hey, how'd it go?
Fine except
Wait, did you hear that?
That, that click?
Yeah. Something weird has been
going on with the phone lines.
I saw that maintenance woman
down at the junction
box again this morning.
And anyway, what's the except?
Carol.
I mean, as long as she's
around, there's no way
I'm getting anywhere near any
of those financial documents.
Sorry. I don't know what to do.
I can't just make Carol disappear.
Oh.
There's that sound again.
Ugh.
Where the hell is Carol?
Oh, I don't know, Mr. Hogan.
Okay. Well, we need to
start those contracts.
And I ain't doing them, so get in here.
Let's go, Ms. Business Degree.
It's a little dark in here.
Yeah.
Apparently, that tequila
was way off-brand last night.
Uh, the Brit manager emailed me.
For some reason she wants
the paperwork done this morning.
And she wants you as number two
on the contract for her singer.
That's our standard contract.
This is your big shot.
I won't waste it.
You know
I meant what I
what I said last night.
If you could
You really should, uh
learn to get along with people like me.
- Something wrong?
- Nope.
Why don't we have a drink?
I mean, that way we could
celebrate your first contract.
Maybe I should review these
contracts back at my desk.
It's okay. It's fine.
Oh, whoopsie. Sorry, maintenance.
I got a call about
some flickering light.
That was locked.
Yeah. Well
There's no light flick oh, my God.
Oh.
Should only take about a half-hour,
- maybe an hour, or two.
- God. No. Let's go, please.
- Stop. Will you wait till I leave, please?
- Whoa!
Oh, you got some black mold up here.
Did you know about that? We're
gonna have to call a plumber.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
Do some damage on these
and we'll restart when
this racket's gone.
What do you have there?
Just some forms that Mr. Hogan gave me.
Hogan gave you forms and said you
could leave the office with them?
Well, no, but he didn't say that
No company documents
leave the office, ever.
Situation in the bullpen.
Well, my scanner is broken,
so I figured that I would
just take these down to I
and scan them back up to my computer.
And Hogan cleared that?
Well, he
Sylvia? Where is she?
This is the situation?
Sneaking off with files, sir.
Said she's gonna scan them.
What the hell, Brimley?
So she's taken some papers
to scan let her scan them.
Who cares?
I have to find a dark
room and a cold towel.
Mulligan, the new girl, Jenna,
she's headed down to IT.
Go down there. Keep an eye on her.
Oh!
The live performance contracts.
Come again?
Hogan structures the
live performance contracts
so he charges for promotion
and overhead at the door.
I mean, before he
reports it to the label,
that way he can he can
skim through what he wants,
run it through an off-book
LLC, and the label has no idea.
That's how he's getting
the money for payoffs.
If the label finds out he's stealing,
- like you said, there's no way that
- No way they'll be able
to enforce the NDAs to protect him.
If they actually arrest him
for the financial crimes,
like, that could get him off the
street, he can't hurt anybody,
and the cops have time to gather
evidence of the sex crimes.
Keith, that that's
super smart thinking.
I listen to a lot of true crime
podcasts on my bike to work.
Um, but we need more than just forms.
And we need to find the
name of the LLC he's using
and find the records.
I mean, but he keep
nothing online, right?
- So
- Mm-hmm.
it must all be on on here.
I need to get into that safe.
You'd have to be in there alone
with nobody else around
to walk in on you.
How are you gonna do that?
Fire alarm?
- How random is that?
- How random is that?
- Hmm.
- Uh
Uh, according to the system,
it it's not a false alarm,
but there's also no fire or
smoke that's been detected.
It must be that weird electrical
problem we've been having.
This is my chance.
It's a combination safe. How
are you gonna get into it?
Well, he probably keeps
the combination, I mean,
somewhere in his office, or
on his emails, or files. Okay.
You hack those. I'm heading up there.
What if there's a real fire?
If there is, it'll take a
while to get to Hogan's office,
and I can just jump out a window.
I mean, it's not that high up.
I'll probably just break my ankles.
You're kind of amazing.
Thank you.
Oh. Can you also turn
off the notifications
for Hogan's camera and
shut the cameras down?
Yeah, probably, it's
a pretty basic system.
Okay. You got this.
I'm counting on you.
- Oh, wait.
- Yeah.
- What's this?
- Uh, something I've rigged up,
so we can hear each other.
Oh, it's a it's a little staticky.
Well, I could do better
with unlimited money,
a tech genius, and access
to futuristic technology.
But, you know, who has time for that?
It's great. Thank you
for having my back.
I just want you to be safe.
Okay.
I'll take it.
So there's no fire?
Still trying to confirm that, sir.
By the way, where's your assistant?
I don't know. She's a butterfly.
Ask Carol.
Carol's not here, sir.
What?
Where the hell could she be?
Does your family support
your lumberjack lifestyle?
Hmm.
My soul loves to be alone in nature,
amongst the trees, with the wolves
and the hawks, away from the world.
I get that. I get that.
But sadly, no.
My family does not support my rugged,
forest-oriented lifestyle.
Why not?
It's complicated.
My father wants me to go
into the family business.
It stretches back many generations.
My grandmama calls it the firm.
Security, all eyes,
I need you to find Hogan's
new assistant, Jenna Monroe.
Grab and bring her here.
Keith, any luck with the combination?
His office cameras are
down, alerts are off,
but, uh, no, nothing for the safe yet.
Keith, I have faith in you.
Huh.
This is weird.
- Stay here, sir. I'll go call Carol again.
- Yeah.
Hans, it's no use.
I know you're not just a lumberjack.
You're a Belgian prince.
But no, my secret.
There aren't that many
active monarchies anymore.
Plus your accent.
Don't worry.
Your secret is safe with me.
You are a remarkable woman,
a commoner, but with
the heart of a queen.
Tell me about Belgium.
Of course.
Belgium is a place I know well.
I'm looking for a piece of paper,
anything with a combination.
I'm coming up empty.
I think I got lucky.
I'm I'm sending you
a link. It was in my feed.
Hey, guys, what is happening?
So, turns out you got yourself
a Glenn-Rieder FR 1760 combination safe.
Let's teach you how to crack this baby.
Just in case.
First thing you're gonna wanna
do is get familiar with the wheel.
You know, give it a turn,
listen to those clicks.
These are gonna be pitched in B major
with a slight pre-click
on the combination numbers.
Now, Glenn-Rieder's typically
go left, right, left.
So go ahead and give it three
full turns to the left
and then listen for that pre-click.
Oh! The internet. What doesn't it have?
Bruges is really like a fairytale land.
Uh, it it's cobblestone streets
and, uh, swans, mm-hmm.
- And
- Excuse me.
Oh, my. Uh, there's a
fire at my workplace.
I'm so sorry. Um, I have to go.
But-but-but you are my-my-my queen.
Remain here, my sweet prince.
I shall return.
Ha-ha-ha.
So a lumberduke, huh? Wow.
Keith, what's going on?
Uh, the fire alarm's off and I
can't find a way to restart it.
People are coming back in.
Do you have the safe open yet?
No, it's not, okay? We need
to at least stall Hogan.
Keith, I'm gonna send
you a phone number.
Carol? Where are you?
Sylvia?
Sylvia. Hi.
Hi. How'd you get this number?
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to sue.
I have the money. I can get it to you.
Yes. Please don't call any more lawyers.
- Oh.
- What happened?
Uh, I must have done it. I just
didn't hear the tumblers click.
Ah
Any luck?
Yes. Yes.
There's an entry for April's check here,
and a bunch of others.
And this is the LLC he's using
to money-launder his payments.
Keith, I need you to
tell me everything you can
about Black Dog Limited Music.
It was incorporated in Delaware.
This shell company is
proof that he's stealing
from the parent label and
paying off his victims.
I knew you were a little troublemaker.
You really like calling other
women "little," don't you?
Well, I'm the only one with
any backbone around here.
You know, at first,
when you were trying to keep me away
from Hogan and out of his office,
I thought you were
defending your territory.
But I think you were protecting
me, trying to keep me safe.
No matter what you helped
him cover up in the past
you protected me.
And somewhere in there,
you still have a conscience.
And you know that the
women that he hurt,
that they deserve justice.
You can still make things right.
You need to come down from
planet Nebraska, wide eyes.
The only reason I was
keeping Hogan from you
is because I knew you would just
be one other mess I had to clean up.
April was bad enough.
You're just one more stupid,
wounded baby bird I'd have
to scrape off the pavement.
What the hell is going on here?
I found her stealing
documents from the safe.
Where's Brimley?
He's not picking up his phone.
We'll handle this ourselves.
Tell Carol to look at the LLC papers.
What?
It'd normally take me a couple of hours
to run down the name of the
company that you gave me,
but I just happened to discover
an email in Hogan's
account mentioning it.
It's weird, really.
Keith.
Keith? What, that little creep in IT?
You both are gonna end
up in a dumpster for this.
Tell Carol to look at whose
name is on the LLC papers.
- Look at the papers.
- Give me that.
Look at whose name's on them.
Everything's in my name.
Yeah, it's just to include you.
Embezzlement's kind of
a short-term crime, huh?
I mean, it always
comes out at some point,
so it's important to
have an escape plan,
like pinning it on your partner.
- You son of a bitch.
- Carol!
No, you don't understand.
This was this is for you.
Excuse me, folks.
It was him. It was all him.
- He abuses women.
- What?!
He steals. I can prove all of it.
Prove? The cameras weren't even on.
Oh, I kept my own notes, just in case.
And these documents prove embezzlement.
Whatever I'm guilty of,
she's guilty of, too.
How would she know
about the embezzlement?
Look, look, everything is in her name.
I was going to say we're here
investigating a fire alarm.
But you're both accusing each
other of embezzlement and theft.
- He assaults women!
- She stole everything!
Everyone can tell their side of
the story down at the station.
Now that I knew what I was looking for,
turns out somebody doesn't
always turn off his cameras.
He likes to keep trophies.
I have evidence Mr. Hogan here
is guilty of multiple assaults
on female employees.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sir.
You're fired.
Come down for a routine fire alarm
and leave with the biggest
bust of our careers.
How random is that?
I heard Hogan bailed out,
but he has an ankle monitor.
He can't make a move
without the cops knowing.
Yeah. The label dropped him
so fast, they left skid marks.
And you don't have to
worry about the NDAs.
So you can tell your
story now, if you want.
I'll never be able to thank you.
I feel like I can breathe
for the first time in weeks.
But I'm so sorry that
you lost your jobs.
I can code. I'll always
be able to find a job.
Yeah. And after, I
mean, the last few days,
I still love music, but I don't
know if I'm gonna jump right back
into an assistant job.
All I can say is you're
both pretty special.
So many people owe you so much.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I can't believe you pulled it off.
I can't believe we pulled it off.
The assistant and the I
guy, it's pretty cool, huh?
We took down a monster.
I still can't help but
feel we got really lucky.
Hey, give us some credit.
Uh, we kicked ass, we
achieved the impossible,
just the two of us.
All right. Keep that confidence up
because I don't think we're getting
references from our last bosses.
Oh, no. No.
Yeah, and I don't know about
you, but I have rent due, so
Oh, hey, I did, uh, find one thing.
Oh.
I found it when I was
clearing out stuff.
I think it belonged to April,
but I figured if she had it,
maybe they're in the same business.
We could call them.
We could call them?
We make a pretty good team.

Cheerio.
Appears to be the scene of the crime.
Who is Inspector Astrid Pickford?
She considers me a nemesis.
I have a lot of nemesises.
I just don't have time
to nemesis them all back.
My, my.
Hello, Ramsey.
I am taking Ramsey down.
What's the plan?
We need to go. Now.
I'm so sorry if I caused
Mr. Hogan any trouble.
I misunderstood.
I would never accuse him. I just
I would remind you,
your NDA prohibits you
from speaking about
anything that happened here.
Please. I have no savings.
I'm in a month-to-month sublet.
I gave up everything for this job.
All I've ever wanted to do
is to help make music.
NDA also says that if you disclose
anything from your time here,
you forfeit your severance.
You're gonna need that money.
So make smart choices, for once.
See her out.
Ma'am.
Make sure she gets clear of the building
and wipe that laptop.
I need to go find a replacement.
Hi. I'm Jenna.
No. Okay. That's too casual. Um
I am a big fan.
Okay, what are you,
a creepy stalker now?
I mean, ugh.
Monroe. Jenna Monroe.
What is wrong with me?
We didn't call for you.
No.
And you're probably not going to
because I'm pretty sure
that everybody in that room
has much better resumes than me,
and Ivy League degrees and
high-profile internships.
I've got none of that.
And you're gonna hire one of
them before you even get to me.
Okay. I'm calling security.
Hold on.
Speech first, then security.
Go, kid.
Problem is, if you hire
one of those people,
they're not gonna work like I will
because they don't want it like I do.
I mean, I worked two
jobs and lived at home
to put myself through state school
to get a dual degree
in music and business.
I have no fallback.
This job would literally be my life.
I mean, late nights, weekends.
All I want is to be a small
part of what you guys do here,
find new artists and
introduce them to the world,
because I truly believe
that music can change lives.
Let me help you change lives.
That's the kind of fire
we need around here.
I am sold. You're hired.
Oh, my God!
Thank you! Thank you.
- I'll send the other ones home.
- Yeah.
- Uh, do you want my resume?
- No.
Thank you! Thank you.
The position has been filled.
Thank you for your interest.
We will keep resumes
for future consideration.
- Aw, man.
- Great.
Um, guys, I think we have a problem.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You weren't here when I
interviewed. Are you new, too?
I am. It's my first day.
My name is Jeb. Nice to meet you.
- Jenna.
- Jenna.
I hope Steve's okay.
Oh, the dude that was here before me?
Uh, yeah, he's fine.
He won a cruise around the world.
I'm filling in for him
while he's gone, so
- Wow. How random is that?
- Yeah.
Well, seems like
everybody is getting lucky.
- Bye.
- See you.
Mr. Hogan's coffee must
be exactly 130 degrees.
1-3-0 degrees.
Mr. Hogan's office is his sanctum.
You don't show anyone in
there, even with an appointment,
without clearing it with me.
You don't go in there
without clearing it with me.
And under no circumstances, do
you ever, ever put a call through
from his ex-wife, Sylvia.
Okay. No call, Sylvia.
This is Mr. Brimley, head of security.
He has your standard NDA.
Gotta sign before you can start to work.
- Oh.
- Company rules.
Yeah. It's just, uh, I
have a business degree,
so I like to really read every clause.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Mr. Hogan's calendar is on your laptop.
That calendar must be kept current.
At the end of every day, you
will send the updated calendar
to myself and Mr. Brimley, understood?
Yes, ma'am.
Carol! Help me.
You're the only one who can make
sense out of any of this stuff.
I'm on my way.
Okay. Looking forward
to working with you, too.
What's this?
Huh.
Lethbridge Stewart.
Huh.
Mr. Hogan, I'm sorry to bother you,
but I noticed something odd
about a calendar appointment.
Why don't you come on
in here and fill me in?
Oh, I am Carol said
that I'm not supposed to
Yeah, don't worry about
Carol. Come on in here.
Oh!
Yeah, don't worry about Carol.
I know she seems like a hard-ass,
but she's really a big softie at heart.
- Oh, really?
- Oh, yeah.
You should see her bookshelf.
- Wall-to-wall romance novels.
- Oh.
It's motion-activated.
I get an alert on my phone
whenever it detects movement.
But everybody can use a little
privacy from time to time, right?
Yeah.
Confidential client
meetings, stuff like that.
Wanna try?
I can help you.
Actually, uh, Mr. Hogan,
it's about your calendar.
Carol set an appointment with,
uh, Ms. Lethbridge Stewart
from Be Funky Records.
Oh, yeah, that's our parent label.
Well, that name, uh, Lethbridge Stewart,
it's a it's a Doctor Who character.
From the TV show.
- Oh.
- Yes.
So, I figured, what if someone was,
you know, trying to get an appointment
with you under false pretenses?
Oh. Like my ex-wife. Sylvia.
I checked Be Funky's website directory.
Nobody with the name works there.
Carol!
We need to cancel the
- Lethbridge Stewart.
- Lethbridge Stewart meeting.
Good catch, Jenna.
I knew you were the right girl.
What did I tell you about
going into his office?
What are you?
Oh, sorry. Do you know where IT is?
I, uh, think I got turned around.
Uh-oh. Hmm.
Oh.
Music is mighty good ♪
See all the people
come from miles around ♪
- Hi.
- Heard about the ♪
Oh, hey, there's a person here.
There's, uh, never a person.
Hi, person.
I'm Jenna. I'm Mr.
Hogan's new assistant.
This is where you say your name.
Uh, Keith.
Hi. Uh
Uh, what can I do for
you happily? Anything?
Uh, this laptop belonged
to the last assistant.
And there's a file on
here that won't open.
Did you know the last assistant?
Uh, no, I mostly stay down here.
There's a lot of
turnover and, uh, it's
you know, it's kind of
an intense place to work.
I have noticed.
Um, I used to wipe people's computers
after they left, but Brimley
- you know, from security?
- Mm-hmm.
- Decided to take over. Huh.
- Hmm.
Okay. It was a hidden text file.
I mean, most of it is gibberish
because Brimley tried to wipe the drive.
I I can read some sentences.
Mr. Hogan did that
to all these women?
I need the last assistant's address.
Hi, April. I'm Jenna.
I found your file at Box 5 Music.
Please, please, don't
close the door on me.
I don't want any more trouble.
Somebody's trying to silence you.
I know what that can do to a person.
It eats you up from the inside.
Thank you.
I'm moving back home.
Slinking away in defeat,
I guess you'd say.
I would never say that.
I tried, you know. I did.
I told Carol.
She said I misunderstood Hogan,
but it just kept happening.
I don't know why I
started keeping the notes.
I got stories,
evidence from the other
girls at the office
before they quit or got fired.
I never really had a plan
for what to do with them.
I just felt like
Somebody have to do something.
One of the other women who got fired,
she said she was
contacting a local lawyer,
Harry something.
Willis, Winslow, or
But I never heard anything.
So I, um
took the severance payment.
Hmm.
I just wanna move on
and forget about it.
My, um, older sister, Quinn,
eight years ago she was studying
to become a social worker.
Uh, she had this professor
that she saw as a mentor,
you know, at first.
And then
she reported it to the school
and they just, you know,
said, "He said, she said."
And she tried to keep going
and she did for a few months.
And eventually, she had to drop out.
I'm so sorry.
But I don't have any fight left.
Then let me do the fighting.
I just need you to trust
me, just a little bit.
If you find more proof, I'll help.
But where are you
Is this your severance check?
Mm-hmm. More like hush money.
Can I borrow this?
Perfect.
It's the wrong bank.
I have no idea what
that means, but okay.
And why are we out here?
So, no one inside hears us.
Oh, we can use that
new food truck as cover.
Okay. This isn't the same
bank that the company uses.
Hogan's using an off-book account
to pay off the women that he harasses.
How do you know that?
Business degree.
What'll it be, sweetheart?
Uh, I'll have the gumbo, please.
- Thank you.
- I'll just have what she's having.
No kidding? I bet you will.
If I can prove Hogan's
illegally moving funds around,
the parent studio's lawyer
won't defend his NDAs.
April and all the
other women can testify.
Look, I'm not the kind of person
who says, like, let the bad guys win.
But what if you're right?
What will he do next?
Hogan's a powerful guy.
The power is the point, Keith.
That's how he gets away with all this,
through power and fear of that power.
Hogan abuses women, he bullies them,
and then through his NDAs,
he steals their voices,
their future, their power.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So let's go steal it back.
- I know what you're thinking.
- What?
That she's a civilian.
And that Hank Hogan
has been getting away
with sexually assaulting women
just like Jenna for years.
Yeah, and he bullies
them into keeping silent
by using private detectives
and these hired thugs
disguised as security.
Not to mention the NDAs that'll
have them sued into oblivion
if they dare to speak out.
So it's safer to send Jenna
on a cruise around the world?
- By force?
- No.
Jenna wants to help these young women,
so we are gonna help her.
Your smile is very contagious, you know?
Oh, I just love your
accent. It's so European.
Is it Belgian?
- Well
- No.
There's some sexy
Liechtenstein in there.
What?
- Oh.
- Hello?
I'm sorry, Hans.
I I'm gonna have to put
you on hold for a minute.
But, Carol
I'm, uh, I'm sorry to bother you.
I got a memo about a
possible security breach
and IT wanted everyone to install
these cyber security sweep things
on their personal computers to
connect to the company server.
I mean, I don't know.
It went way over my head.
Oh, for God's sake.
I'm not sticking a random
thumb drive in my computer
because some Nebraskan high
school drama club treasurer
tells me to do it.
Vice president.
Uh, okay. That's fine.
I'll just tell IT you said no.
But I know we got a lot
of trade secrets here,
so I'd really hate for one of
our secrets to get out, but
Great. Bye.
Yeah.
Be still my heart. There she is.
Ah!
- Nice.
- Mm-hmm.
So Carol's computer syncs
through the calendar app
to Brimley's and Hogan's.
So, I'm in all three.
- Um, how'd you get her to install it?
- Oh, she mocked drama club,
but she succumbed to
my mad thespian skills.
- Are you a thespian?
- Mm-hmm.
Because I'm a thespian.
Like, I love thespians.
I well, I was.
I still am. A thespian.
Hmm.
- Oh! What do we have?
- Oh.
Do we have proof that
Hogan is moving our money?
Uh, no. Carol just
downloaded another movie.
Movie?
Carol's hard drive is basically
illegally downloaded Hallmark movies.
She likes the ones where the
guy is, like, a secret prince
but he's living another life in the
States as a Christmas tree farmer,
or a rancher, or a carpenter.
Look. She is even on this dating app
where she only picks working-class guys
who speak with foreign accents.
She's really trying to find a duke
who's pretending to be a lumberjack?
Carol appears to be trying
to manifest a lumberduke.
Yes.
And, uh, Brimley just has equally
detailed dossiers on everyone.
What's in mine?
I didn't read it.
Of course you didn't. But Hogan?
Unfortunately, he doesn't keep any
of his financials on his computer.
- Hmm.
- I hate luddites.
Yeah, when I talked
to April, she said that
you're really in his inner circle
when he lets you draw up a contract.
I mean, that's when you
get to see the records.
Okay. So, we got to get
you into his inner circle.
Then, we'll get proof Hogan's dirty.
But I am an assistant. I mean,
that's gonna take me years.
- Oh.
- Oh.
That's the place that Hogan was
having a music showcase tonight.
Not anymore.
They got shut down
after all the customers
and performers got food poisoning.
This is my chance.
If I can find him another singer,
I'll be the hero, and
then I can lever that
into some access into his office.
And I can find where
the bodies are buried.
Cool.
But how am I gonna find
a replacement singer?
I
Hey, I got an alert
from that food truck.
They're outside again.
- You wanna grab lunch?
- Yeah, definitely.
Man, that venue closing,
how random was that?
Yeah. How random was that?
Hey. How can I help you?
Two gumbos, please.
Gumbo times two. On it.
My treat this time.
- Oh.
- I don't believe in fairy tales ♪
Least what the old ones say ♪
Are you by any chance
a professional singer?
Oh, no.
I mean, I'm trying to be.
Uh, my friends, they have
this, uh, performance space.
I sing there a few nights a week.
What kind of performance space?
They just rebuilt it. It's
actually not far from here.
Is it free tonight? Are you
performing there tonight?
Yeah. I mean, as a matter of fact, I am.
I'll give you my number.
If you are performing tonight,
I will get you one of
the biggest music execs
in all of the country
to come hear you sing.
Deal.
Awesome.
Hello, sir.
Uh, yes, sir.
I saw the calendar notification
and I have a solution.
And there's someone you should hear.
She's singing tonight.
Yes. I'm talking too much.
Uh, but, yes, I have a venue.
Wow. Uh, thank you.
Thank you.
He told me that I show great initiative
and he wants me to be more
involved in the business.
- Yes!
- And he wants me to go with him

- No.

She also owns the bar.
Oh.
Pleasure to meet you.
Oh. And you've met my
lovely assistant, Jenna?
No, but charmed.
Are you are you all right?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, you just remind me of someone.
Oh.
The woman from the food truck.
Sorry. Uh, I think I misheard.
I thought you said I look
like I work in a food truck.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not now.
Um, and she has a New York accent.
Right. Right.
Well, you know, Bridget,
my very British
- British. Yeah. British.
- manager, she does look a lot

- Susan, from Queens.
- Oh!
Yeah, they do favor.
- It's uncanny that's not her, though.
- No, not me.
- Definitely not.
- Wow. That is fascinating, ladies.
But I think it's time
we talk some business.
- Oh.
- Mm.
Jenna, go get us a couple of
fresh drinks. Meet me outside.
Oh, I was really hoping to
see this side of the business.
Oh, yes. By all means, let her stay.
Jenna is a great girl, but
this is above her level.
Maybe next time, kiddo.
Excuse me.
She looked that much like her?
Uh, I feel like I'm losing my mind.
You're under too much pressure.
You should have let me come.
"Sure. I'd love to
come to a bar with you,
creepy predator man
who keeps perving on me
and trying to get me to drink,
so I have to pretend my
diet Coke is a Cuba Libre.
Oh, hey, do you mind if I bring
the guy from IT as my date?"
Well, it wouldn't have
been a date per se.
- Unless, uh
- Oh, shoot! He's coming.
I got to go. Bye.
Hey, how did it go?
Ah, she owns the place,
and is looking to partner
with somebody for a music festival.
Local talent we can sign
before anybody else sees them.
Great publicity and sweet,
sweet tax breaks from the state.
Oh, that's amazing.
- You've such an eye for opportunity.
- Mm-hmm.
I have an eye for a lot of things.
So, um, do you think I can be there
when you draw up the contracts?
- You? God, You have such potential.
- Yeah.
You are so eager.
Oh, I love eager.
- Eager about work? Yeah.
- Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
Well, you see the thing
about making work work
is finding the right mentor.
Let me ask you something, Jenna.
Do you want access to
the executive suites? Hmm?
Do you wanna play in the big game?
How far are you willing to go?
What I mean is
if you can learn to get

if you could swallow bathing suits of

Hmm.
- Oh, there you are.

- Carol!
- Oh, oopsie daisy.
Oh, no.
You don't look at all well.
Come on, let's sit down.
There you go.
I saw you.
Darling, go to the bar and find
someone to stick him in a cab.
- Stick him in a bag?
- Stick him in a cab.
- Cab.
- Stick 'em up.
Looks like your friend
can't handle his booze.
I didn't think he had
that much to drink.
Did you just roofie
a serial sex offender?
Do tigers wear tutus?
Regardless I also see
a lot of potential in you,
and I look forward to seeing how
you accomplish your next big job.
You, you mean, as in the assistant job?
In a manner of speaking, yes.
Oh, there they go.
Good luck.
We'll be watching.
Sylvia Hogan.
Uh, Mrs. Hogan ex-Mrs. Hogan.
Um, no, he's not in right now.
Uh, but I will let him know
that you called about the
Yes, I'm writing this down.
The enormous check that he owes you
and to send the money
or you will burn down
everything he loves.
Yes. Got it. Okay.
Car oh, God.
Carol.
I found a new singer
and a new venue to boot.
I need you to start processing contracts
'cause we need to have
a regular showcase there.
How did you find the venue?
The kid and I went out last night.
She found her.
She's smart.
And she can hold her booze.
You went out with him last night?
Uh, I was the one who found the singer.
And if there are contracts or
financial agreements, I mean,
I do have a business degree,
and I would love to be a part
of that side of the company.
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
You're trying to worm
your way up the company
without paying your dues.
Every one of your
generation is like this.
- No. I promise
- I spent five years
sitting in an assistant's chair
before I was invited
to a proper meeting.
And you will not get to
do management-level work
as long as I'm around.
Now I'm gonna go get my laptop
and process this paperwork with Hank.
And you are not to go into his office.
Get to work!
Box 5 Music, Hank Hogan's
Office. How may I help you?
Hey, how'd it go?
Fine except
Wait, did you hear that?
That, that click?
Yeah. Something weird has been
going on with the phone lines.
I saw that maintenance woman
down at the junction
box again this morning.
And anyway, what's the except?
Carol.
I mean, as long as she's
around, there's no way
I'm getting anywhere near any
of those financial documents.
Sorry. I don't know what to do.
I can't just make Carol disappear.
Oh.
There's that sound again.
Ugh.
Where the hell is Carol?
Oh, I don't know, Mr. Hogan.
Okay. Well, we need to
start those contracts.
And I ain't doing them, so get in here.
Let's go, Ms. Business Degree.
It's a little dark in here.
Yeah.
Apparently, that tequila
was way off-brand last night.
Uh, the Brit manager emailed me.
For some reason she wants
the paperwork done this morning.
And she wants you as number two
on the contract for her singer.
That's our standard contract.
This is your big shot.
I won't waste it.
You know
I meant what I
what I said last night.
If you could
You really should, uh
learn to get along with people like me.
- Something wrong?
- Nope.
Why don't we have a drink?
I mean, that way we could
celebrate your first contract.
Maybe I should review these
contracts back at my desk.
It's okay. It's fine.
Oh, whoopsie. Sorry, maintenance.
I got a call about
some flickering light.
That was locked.
Yeah. Well
There's no light flick oh, my God.
Oh.
Should only take about a half-hour,
- maybe an hour, or two.
- God. No. Let's go, please.
- Stop. Will you wait till I leave, please?
- Whoa!
Oh, you got some black mold up here.
Did you know about that? We're
gonna have to call a plumber.
I'm gonna get some coffee.
Do some damage on these
and we'll restart when
this racket's gone.
What do you have there?
Just some forms that Mr. Hogan gave me.
Hogan gave you forms and said you
could leave the office with them?
Well, no, but he didn't say that
No company documents
leave the office, ever.
Situation in the bullpen.
Well, my scanner is broken,
so I figured that I would
just take these down to I
and scan them back up to my computer.
And Hogan cleared that?
Well, he
Sylvia? Where is she?
This is the situation?
Sneaking off with files, sir.
Said she's gonna scan them.
What the hell, Brimley?
So she's taken some papers
to scan let her scan them.
Who cares?
I have to find a dark
room and a cold towel.
Mulligan, the new girl, Jenna,
she's headed down to IT.
Go down there. Keep an eye on her.
Oh!
The live performance contracts.
Come again?
Hogan structures the
live performance contracts
so he charges for promotion
and overhead at the door.
I mean, before he
reports it to the label,
that way he can he can
skim through what he wants,
run it through an off-book
LLC, and the label has no idea.
That's how he's getting
the money for payoffs.
If the label finds out he's stealing,
- like you said, there's no way that
- No way they'll be able
to enforce the NDAs to protect him.
If they actually arrest him
for the financial crimes,
like, that could get him off the
street, he can't hurt anybody,
and the cops have time to gather
evidence of the sex crimes.
Keith, that that's
super smart thinking.
I listen to a lot of true crime
podcasts on my bike to work.
Um, but we need more than just forms.
And we need to find the
name of the LLC he's using
and find the records.
I mean, but he keep
nothing online, right?
- So
- Mm-hmm.
it must all be on on here.
I need to get into that safe.
You'd have to be in there alone
with nobody else around
to walk in on you.
How are you gonna do that?
Fire alarm?
- How random is that?
- How random is that?
- Hmm.
- Uh
Uh, according to the system,
it it's not a false alarm,
but there's also no fire or
smoke that's been detected.
It must be that weird electrical
problem we've been having.
This is my chance.
It's a combination safe. How
are you gonna get into it?
Well, he probably keeps
the combination, I mean,
somewhere in his office, or
on his emails, or files. Okay.
You hack those. I'm heading up there.
What if there's a real fire?
If there is, it'll take a
while to get to Hogan's office,
and I can just jump out a window.
I mean, it's not that high up.
I'll probably just break my ankles.
You're kind of amazing.
Thank you.
Oh. Can you also turn
off the notifications
for Hogan's camera and
shut the cameras down?
Yeah, probably, it's
a pretty basic system.
Okay. You got this.
I'm counting on you.
- Oh, wait.
- Yeah.
- What's this?
- Uh, something I've rigged up,
so we can hear each other.
Oh, it's a it's a little staticky.
Well, I could do better
with unlimited money,
a tech genius, and access
to futuristic technology.
But, you know, who has time for that?
It's great. Thank you
for having my back.
I just want you to be safe.
Okay.
I'll take it.
So there's no fire?
Still trying to confirm that, sir.
By the way, where's your assistant?
I don't know. She's a butterfly.
Ask Carol.
Carol's not here, sir.
What?
Where the hell could she be?
Does your family support
your lumberjack lifestyle?
Hmm.
My soul loves to be alone in nature,
amongst the trees, with the wolves
and the hawks, away from the world.
I get that. I get that.
But sadly, no.
My family does not support my rugged,
forest-oriented lifestyle.
Why not?
It's complicated.
My father wants me to go
into the family business.
It stretches back many generations.
My grandmama calls it the firm.
Security, all eyes,
I need you to find Hogan's
new assistant, Jenna Monroe.
Grab and bring her here.
Keith, any luck with the combination?
His office cameras are
down, alerts are off,
but, uh, no, nothing for the safe yet.
Keith, I have faith in you.
Huh.
This is weird.
- Stay here, sir. I'll go call Carol again.
- Yeah.
Hans, it's no use.
I know you're not just a lumberjack.
You're a Belgian prince.
But no, my secret.
There aren't that many
active monarchies anymore.
Plus your accent.
Don't worry.
Your secret is safe with me.
You are a remarkable woman,
a commoner, but with
the heart of a queen.
Tell me about Belgium.
Of course.
Belgium is a place I know well.
I'm looking for a piece of paper,
anything with a combination.
I'm coming up empty.
I think I got lucky.
I'm I'm sending you
a link. It was in my feed.
Hey, guys, what is happening?
So, turns out you got yourself
a Glenn-Rieder FR 1760 combination safe.
Let's teach you how to crack this baby.
Just in case.
First thing you're gonna wanna
do is get familiar with the wheel.
You know, give it a turn,
listen to those clicks.
These are gonna be pitched in B major
with a slight pre-click
on the combination numbers.
Now, Glenn-Rieder's typically
go left, right, left.
So go ahead and give it three
full turns to the left
and then listen for that pre-click.
Oh! The internet. What doesn't it have?
Bruges is really like a fairytale land.
Uh, it it's cobblestone streets
and, uh, swans, mm-hmm.
- And
- Excuse me.
Oh, my. Uh, there's a
fire at my workplace.
I'm so sorry. Um, I have to go.
But-but-but you are my-my-my queen.
Remain here, my sweet prince.
I shall return.
Ha-ha-ha.
So a lumberduke, huh? Wow.
Keith, what's going on?
Uh, the fire alarm's off and I
can't find a way to restart it.
People are coming back in.
Do you have the safe open yet?
No, it's not, okay? We need
to at least stall Hogan.
Keith, I'm gonna send
you a phone number.
Carol? Where are you?
Sylvia?
Sylvia. Hi.
Hi. How'd you get this number?
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to sue.
I have the money. I can get it to you.
Yes. Please don't call any more lawyers.
- Oh.
- What happened?
Uh, I must have done it. I just
didn't hear the tumblers click.
Ah
Any luck?
Yes. Yes.
There's an entry for April's check here,
and a bunch of others.
And this is the LLC he's using
to money-launder his payments.
Keith, I need you to
tell me everything you can
about Black Dog Limited Music.
It was incorporated in Delaware.
This shell company is
proof that he's stealing
from the parent label and
paying off his victims.
I knew you were a little troublemaker.
You really like calling other
women "little," don't you?
Well, I'm the only one with
any backbone around here.
You know, at first,
when you were trying to keep me away
from Hogan and out of his office,
I thought you were
defending your territory.
But I think you were protecting
me, trying to keep me safe.
No matter what you helped
him cover up in the past
you protected me.
And somewhere in there,
you still have a conscience.
And you know that the
women that he hurt,
that they deserve justice.
You can still make things right.
You need to come down from
planet Nebraska, wide eyes.
The only reason I was
keeping Hogan from you
is because I knew you would just
be one other mess I had to clean up.
April was bad enough.
You're just one more stupid,
wounded baby bird I'd have
to scrape off the pavement.
What the hell is going on here?
I found her stealing
documents from the safe.
Where's Brimley?
He's not picking up his phone.
We'll handle this ourselves.
Tell Carol to look at the LLC papers.
What?
It'd normally take me a couple of hours
to run down the name of the
company that you gave me,
but I just happened to discover
an email in Hogan's
account mentioning it.
It's weird, really.
Keith.
Keith? What, that little creep in IT?
You both are gonna end
up in a dumpster for this.
Tell Carol to look at whose
name is on the LLC papers.
- Look at the papers.
- Give me that.
Look at whose name's on them.
Everything's in my name.
Yeah, it's just to include you.
Embezzlement's kind of
a short-term crime, huh?
I mean, it always
comes out at some point,
so it's important to
have an escape plan,
like pinning it on your partner.
- You son of a bitch.
- Carol!
No, you don't understand.
This was this is for you.
Excuse me, folks.
It was him. It was all him.
- He abuses women.
- What?!
He steals. I can prove all of it.
Prove? The cameras weren't even on.
Oh, I kept my own notes, just in case.
And these documents prove embezzlement.
Whatever I'm guilty of,
she's guilty of, too.
How would she know
about the embezzlement?
Look, look, everything is in her name.
I was going to say we're here
investigating a fire alarm.
But you're both accusing each
other of embezzlement and theft.
- He assaults women!
- She stole everything!
Everyone can tell their side of
the story down at the station.
Now that I knew what I was looking for,
turns out somebody doesn't
always turn off his cameras.
He likes to keep trophies.
I have evidence Mr. Hogan here
is guilty of multiple assaults
on female employees.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sir.
You're fired.
Come down for a routine fire alarm
and leave with the biggest
bust of our careers.
How random is that?
I heard Hogan bailed out,
but he has an ankle monitor.
He can't make a move
without the cops knowing.
Yeah. The label dropped him
so fast, they left skid marks.
And you don't have to
worry about the NDAs.
So you can tell your
story now, if you want.
I'll never be able to thank you.
I feel like I can breathe
for the first time in weeks.
But I'm so sorry that
you lost your jobs.
I can code. I'll always
be able to find a job.
Yeah. And after, I
mean, the last few days,
I still love music, but I don't
know if I'm gonna jump right back
into an assistant job.
All I can say is you're
both pretty special.
So many people owe you so much.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I can't believe you pulled it off.
I can't believe we pulled it off.
The assistant and the I
guy, it's pretty cool, huh?
We took down a monster.
I still can't help but
feel we got really lucky.
Hey, give us some credit.
Uh, we kicked ass, we
achieved the impossible,
just the two of us.
All right. Keep that confidence up
because I don't think we're getting
references from our last bosses.
Oh, no. No.
Yeah, and I don't know about
you, but I have rent due, so
Oh, hey, I did, uh, find one thing.
Oh.
I found it when I was
clearing out stuff.
I think it belonged to April,
but I figured if she had it,
maybe they're in the same business.
We could call them.
We could call them?
We make a pretty good team.

Cheerio.
Appears to be the scene of the crime.
Who is Inspector Astrid Pickford?
She considers me a nemesis.
I have a lot of nemesises.
I just don't have time
to nemesis them all back.
My, my.
Hello, Ramsey.
I am taking Ramsey down.

We need to go. Now.
