The Pretender s02e13 Episode Script

I swear to God, I am starting to lose my mind.
It's bad enough that we've missed Jarod with all the close calls that we had.
But we are not even showing up in the right citys any more.
We'll get back on track, Miss Parker.
We're just in a slump.
This is the Center, Broots.
We don't have ''slumps''.
What? Well, well, well.
Long time no see.
And how was life treating you? But you caught me in bed with his wife.
What do you want, Jarod? Why is Mr.
Lyle tailing me? Mr.
Lyle.
Yes, he chased me through Albuquerque and in Santa Fe.
Although I don't see much hitchhiking in his future.
Hitchhiking? Somebody cut off one of his thumbs.
Jarod.
I think you should tell us where you are.
We can protect you from him.
Although I really do appreciate your concern, I've got certainly used to taking care of myself.
Well, I really got to go.
I am late for work.
Hey, Joey.
Who is this? He is a new guy.
- So, we set? - My money.
Bobbie? A beautiful thing, huh? Plates will be here in three days.
Take it easy.
What's this? It's like a round pig in a square hole.
You just don't fit.
Joey, corpse means cops.
Yeah, a live witness means trouble.
Sorry.
I came through with the counterfeit plates.
I got what you wanted.
Come on, shoot him.
It's freezing in here.
Joey, these ain't smart.
You know he is right.
You do it.
Come on, man, show me what you got.
Do it! Do it! Alright, punch your ticket.
They don't call Bobbie Two-Guns for nothing.
These ain't right, Joey.
Alright, alright, but at least take him out to the docks.
No Do it here.
Come on, Chicago boy.
Joey, I got kids.
- Say pray for them.
- I got a family, Joey, I mean, come on! No, don't! Shoot him! Do it! Do it! Do it! There are pretenders among us.
I was taken from my family.
Thirty-six hours, he is already demonstrating more talent then any of our others.
How many people died because of what I thought up? Since I broke up, I spent every moment searching for my past.
He is a pretender.
A genius who can become anyone that he wants to be.
- The Center wants him alive.
- Preferably.
He defends the weak and abused.
Life is a gift.
THE PRETENDER Season 2 Episode 13 A Stand Up Guy -= YTET PRESENTS =- DICTATION: ±¿±¿/´Ð´Ð You are a doctor? I am today.
- Breakfast? - Yeah, let's get out of here.
It stinks.
Hey, quite a marksman there .
.
Nice shot.
''Body Found In Warehouse'' - Jarod.
- What's up? Hey, how we do last night? I don't know, Joey.
Only about nine hundred and change.
What? It rained.
Hey, Bobbie.
Make sure it is sent by ten o'clock, alright? I don't want another phone call.
- I got to pay the rent.
- So pay it.
Hey, hey, give me aback.
Hey.
Let's talk in my office.
I love what's you done with the place.
(FBl) can't pick up our conversation because of the frost.
Look, if this is about what happened yesterday, you caught me off guard, it will not happen again.
Oh, it was just a test.
You know, you definitely not make a full use of your talents.
In fact Tony says, you are the best ''print man'' he has ever seen.
A real artist, he says.
Well, I've printed him a million dollars.
Not saying anything.
So show me.
Excuse me.
Come on, let's see what you got.
Which one is real? They are both real.
Guess I am an artist.
You really think I wouldn't find out who you are.
What the hell are you talking about? Tell me again.
Once again.
What happened in Chicago? I told you, I was a ''print man'' for Tony T.
What's this? Look at this.
Jarod Puzo.
Outstanding convictions for arson, extortion, fraud, outstanding warrants¡­you want me to continue? Alright.
I jump bail.
I want it to lay low for a while.
The last thing I needed was some punk making his bones by ratting me out.
Ok.
A few months back, couple of FBls infiltrated our organisation.
- That's not good.
- Yeah.
A friend of mine says they could spin everybody.
Well, if you will remember, all that occurred before I got here.
Yeah.
You got an answer to everything, don't you? No more secrets, alright? Artist.
''Federal Undercover Officer Found Murdered'' ''Fellow Officer Charged in Slaying'' ''Father Disgraced By Son's Indictment'' Your secretary said it was urgent.
I've got this surveillance tape of Satellite from Hartford office.
Oh, my god.
Do you know the shooter? I think we both do.
Mr.
Lyle.
Jarod contacted us, said Lyle's been dogging him.
Last report was he was dealing with Japanese Yakusa.
Definitely Yakusa.
The Yakusa punish by taking a little finger of the offending party.
What's the guy have to do to lose a thumb? Couldn't have a nice fellow.
Question is, how was the bustard up to? I know all the Center office is monitored.
Disable the primary, the shots were from the backup units.
Well, you know, all our people there are dead.
Including the executive administrator, Mr.
Strumps.
Lyle.
I want you to Hartford to clean up the mess.
I am not a cleaner any more.
My job is to find Jarod.
You said Lyle was after Jarod, makes this your job.
Somebody has to find out what else he was after.
This is a ¡­ very delicate situation.
You are the only person I can trust.
Undercover agent Dean Clark was ringed today in the killing of Federal Officer Lester Knight.
Our reporter caught up with Sean Flanagan, the US prosecutor who's trying the case.
You said that agent Dean Clark killed Federal undercover agent Knight? Agent Clark has been charged for the homicide connection with the death of a fellow agent.
They are both working undercover for the Molino crime family.
I told the department not to say this time.
''Father Disgraced By Son's Indictment'' He is the reason I joined RICO.
I would never do anything to disgrace him.
You said you were drinking with an associate of Joey Molino at the night Lester Knight was murdered.
Yeah.
Bobbie Two-Guns.
Molino's secondary command.
They call him Two-Guns because he carries his match of thirty-eights.
I told my lawyer that.
Don't you guys in the Public Defenders Office talk to each other? So you were with this Bobbie the night that agent Knight was murdered.
My assignment undercover was to take off Two-Guns.
He was hanging out at Faye's restaurant, me to go head to head with a bottle of gin.
So, I started drinking, be assing.
I got a call from agent Knight.
He said someone was feeding RICO information to Molino.
- Did he say who? - No.
He said ''watch my back in the middle of the morning.
'' The same morning that agent Knight was found suffocated in a dry cleaner's bag? The same dry cleaner's that you used.
I was set up.
Bobbie and I, polished off a quarter gin.
I didn't even remember leaving Faye's.
There is no way I could have driven over the bridge Knight's, kill him and make it back home without running my car into a pole.
I am telling you I was set up.
The counterfeit plates come from Costa Rica.
Two sizes: twenty's, hundred's.
You have some work.
You are an artist.
I am getting to need the right materials.
- You know the suppliers? - Of course.
- How much gonna cost? - Hey, don't worry about that.
This deal goes down, everybody is getting fat.
Hey, Joey, you got a call.
- Who is it? - I don't know.
You want me to ask? No, just give me the phone.
Hey, Faye, bring me Gibson.
I'll be right back.
Is that Waikiki? Yeah.
You can see the Diamond Head in the background.
It is beautiful.
I suppose to go there on my honeymoon.
Got put off.
So, Faye, so nice girl like you don't want a place like this.
I can't afford to move to Hawaii.
Seriously, like this, sell this place and go.
Joey, he sucked this place dry.
I've got no equity.
How did you link up with a guy like Joey? My husband died and left me the restaurant.
I tried to make a go of it, but ran into some money trouble.
Joey said he could help.
Woo, big mistake.
Hey, Faye, let's go.
You are the one who should get away from him, while you still can.
- What happens to them? - Nothing.
They don't exist any more.
It has been a while since you work as a cleaner, Miss Parker, I am surprised.
My father has his reasons.
- What are we looking for? - Anything that seems out of place or missing.
Lyle wouldn't pour out the heap like this unless this must be important.
This got to be something around here.
What is this? Ah, this is an E-prong chip.
- Most likely .
.
in the Blue Box.
- Blue Box? Each Center office has a dedicated hardware system from the mainframe, called the Blue Box.
But, chips like this just couldn't fall off.
Blue Box is sealed shut.
Like this? Yeah, that would be it.
What's up? A friend of my friend tells me that ten pallets of raw currency paper being stored in a warehouse in Brooklyn for one night.
Tonight.
Wow.
You want to rob of the treasury department? With uncle sam's paper, no one but no one is going to be able to tell our bills, from the real deal.
Hey.
Picasso didn't paint on toilet paper, did he? Trust me.
Did I say something funny? ''Trust me.
'' That's the last thing Lester Knight said to me, standed right where you are.
You slew that RICO cop here? We locked him right where you are standing.
I thought he gonna freeze to death but he suffocated first.
I lost fifty bucks to Two-Guns on that bet.
But hey, dead is dead, right? I thought he had a dry cleaning bag wrapped around his head.
I did that, to frame another RICO cop.
I am an artist too, you know.
Hi, Picasso, set it up.
You will get enough paper to print a billion bucks.
Have a big go, Picasso! Yeah, baby.
- Security shift changes in twenty, let's move.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we got to go.
The cops come.
How do you know this? Trust me, I know.
Come on, let's move.
Come on.
Come on, get out of here, come on.
Put the hands up.
Get them right from here.
Stop the run.
Right there.
Get your hands off of me! - You take Bobbie onboard.
- Did you have to get me in nose? They shouldn't to take a bullet.
Best to know there's someone smelled like cat-food for at least a month.
How long have you been staying in that fish bath? Let's just say the dry cleaner was not my business any more.
No, no, no, leave them on.
The more bruises, the less questions they are going to ask.
Jarod, we put a lot of pressure on people of Chicago to .
.
for you.
Now if you think Joey .
.
, we pull you out right now.
We don't want to lose another undercover agent.
I am too close to bear out now.
So why did you set up this phony bust? Molino seems to know everything before we do.
Looking for a link.
And? And, he gets a phone call.
And he takes off before you guys get there.
Could be a coincidence? No.
There is a rat on the ship.
It's a big one.
Look, this wasn't a rag merchan you morons boosted It was the US treasury department.
I told you already.
We were going to meet some friends and we went to the wrong warehouse.
Flanagan, we got a couple of wags who got their brains dead How can you tell? Now, who look stupid? Us, or the guys who lost two undercover cops? You guys know what you are looking at? Twenty years.
Funny.
That's what Dean Clark is looking at.
Must be a real disappointment for you, fellows.
You don't get it real in the morning.
The chance of putting Joey Molino away forever.
So you guys get wise crack all you want.
This time, I win.
The game is not over yet.
You can't be serious.
Molino's lawyer is in Judge Driger's chambers.
Apparently somebody forgot to read these gentlemen their rights.
What? Oops.
Cut them loose.
Cut them loose? You heard me.
It looks like this time you lose.
Well, I made a diagnosis.
There is definitely certain chip missing.
Isn't there any way of determining what sort of information was stored on? It's impossible to know what's on it, more specifically what's not.
Nothing is impossible.
Keep working.
So what happened at the warehouse? The friend of the friend set it up.
Turns out it had a poor violation.
So with plan both ends against middle, so we would have to go back to start.
Look, no things can turn out one hundred percent.
But we got enough paper to make a score.
And the friend of the friend? Let's just say that he won't be talking to anyone any more.
And I'm mailing his wife a liitle present.
Is that a tongue? Look, the paper we got is good.
So everything is gonna be okay.
I am counting on it.
- Oh, Bobbie.
- Yeah.
- I got you something too.
- What? The guy's brains? Something better.
A little congrats for getting out of jail.
That is your drink, right? I can't believe this guy.
- Thanks.
- Don't mention it.
All the panels and all the blue boxes, contain sensitive information, could jeopardize the operations if falling on the wrong hands.
Lyle obviously knew it.
He could get a price from one of these panels.
Set himself up, make him move back into the Center.
So this time he has to be dealt with full finality.
Situation has to be cleaned, but has to play close to the best.
You want me to set it up? Daddy? I am not an assassin.
You are sure you do the right thing.
It's taking a lot of manuring to rebuild my position here.
And Lyle's reappearance make me look inefficient.
Daddy.
Angel, it's about us protecting each other.
If you don't protect me, I can't protect you.
I am going home, and finish my present.
- I'll see you in the morning.
- Later.
Hey, Nicky, give me a ride, alright? Can I get you something else? I'll have vodka and rocks, if you join me.
- Twist my arm.
- Let me get it.
No, no.
Not that.
Joey waters it down, I keep the good stuff back in the freezer.
OhWait¡­wait a minute.
No, thank you, I will pass.
I don't want drink anything that comes from the place where, you know, the cop died.
What are you talking about? Joey told me how they .
.
the RICO cop in the deep freeze.
Oh, my god.
You didn't know.
That was the night Joey had me shut the place down early.
I just thought I had no idea they killed someone.
What about Dean Clark? You know that undercover cop that was charged of the murder of Lester Knight, Is he here that night? He was in the bar, he was drinking gin with Bobbie.
He was so plastered they had to carry him out of here.
Are you okay? I am just pulling my head out of the sand.
One cop is dead.
And an innocent one is going to be executed for it.
Hell! How did I get here? And how do I get out? Central records please.
Yes, this is officer 557E.
I'd like to get a copy of all the requests made in the last two days for a rap sheet on one Jarod Puzo.
Yes, I'll hold.
Who? Thank you.
That's all the information I need.
You can't take it all.
I need change for the customers.
Keeps all , Faye, your head'll wind up on the wall next to your Hawaii shot.
I don't believe this.
What did you say? Hey, hey, Joey, Joey, the customers.
You want the money to keep coming in this place, don't you? Where is Bobbie? He didn't come in today.
He has married to the toilet.
So much drunk.
Mush.
I'll suppose to be across town.
I can make the delivery for you.
No one will be late with the gift.
Alright.
- Make suer it'll be there by ten o'clock.
- Not a problem.
I don't want to get a phone call.
Good evening, Mr.
Flanagan.
Where is Bobbie? Plumbing problems.
You are the white ass in the interview room.
First impressions can be so misguided.
You tell Joey, if he wants our arrangements to continue, I would need more money.
The people have to be paid.
- I understand.
- Good.
Just make sure you do.
No doubt about it.
Make sure that Broots takes focus on finding Jarod.
You know how he is.
We need proof for what happens on ADD goes on diagnosed.
What did he ask you to do? I tell Broots what to do.
Your father.
It doesn't matter.
I don't believe you, Parker.
Lyle shows up and suddenly you are a cleaner again for one job.
What did your father ask you to do ? He wants me to handle the situation.
To kill him? Lyle has come in whatever he has come in.
You sound like you actually believe it.
I do.
What? What's the name of it? Lyle has been located in a hotel in Providence.
What are you going to do about it, Parker? To go and to handle the situation.
And then? And then I am gonna go home and sleep like a baby.
Check.
Mate.
I warned you.
- That seat's taken.
- Eugene Clark? Maybe.
I am a friend of Dean's.
You are a wise guy.
You got some nerve coming here like this.
I think it's agaist the law to hit a federal agent.
A federal agent? You worked with Dean? No.
But I know he respects you.
He would never do anything to hurt you.
Look, I am not a father.
But I am a son, and I know, the feelings that a son has.
Wanting to grow up like his father.
Wanting to make him proud.
I used to think that was Dean.
But last three months, I've been wrecked my brain wondering where I went wrong.
You did the best you could.
I got to go.
Mr.
Clark.
Dean is a good cop.
Don't give up on him.
Lyle has been located in a hotel in Providence.
What are you going to do about it, Parker? What are you going to do about it? This time he has to be dealt with full finality.
What are you going to do about it? I am not an assassin.
This time he has to be dealt with full finality.
Full finality.
Finality.
What are you going to do about it? I am not an assassin.
You're sure you do the right thing.
- Yes.
- So close and yet so far.
That's become some one of an anthem for you, hasn't it? - Mr.
Lyle.
- Don't be disappointed, Miss Parker.
You can't catch Jarod, what chance you to get with me? You sound like you're catching a cold, it must be dark and wet where you are.
That's temporary condition.
We want the computer chip.
I can't do that.
Now that I want to keep the rest of my .
.
If you excuse me, I've got a running with a very anxious buyer.
Twenty million dollars, Miss Parker.
God bless me the American Dream! You got something behind.
You've reached Hillman Marine.
At the present, no one is availablt to take your call.
Our normal business hours are from - Broots.
- You have ever heard a place called ''Hillman''? Oh, yes, in Connecticut.
It's where the Center's data backup warehouse is located.
The what? Every friday night at eleven fifty-nine PM, all the Center mainframe from all across country do this mass computer backup, and to this giant system from the Blue Boxes.
Boxes.
You think Lyle is trying to infiltrate the warehouse? Can you think of a reason why he would? It's how he could decrypt it.
What are you talking about? The semiconduct panel he stole is encrypt.
The code's impossible to break.
But if he were able to input this panel into the warehouse mainframe, at eleven fifty-nine PM, ontonight! Tonight, when the backup occurs, it will automatically decrypt, whatever information is on it.
What is how he gets twenty million for it.
Twenty million? Man, crime does pay.
Alright, listen, is it located by a river, a lake, the ocean, something like that? A river, yeah.
He rented a boat.
He does his business, he runs out to he escapes in a boat.
Unless¡­ Unless I make sure he doesn't.
Plates came in.
They've been delivered this afternoon.
Excellent.
Have them sent here.
Here? Yeah.
Who is gonna surprised when we shut this dump down? We print the money here and we'll torch the place.
What about Faye? We can't leave any witnesses, can we? ''Hillman Marine'' Midnight stroke.
How did you find me? I hit redial.
This is always the simple thing, isn't it? The chip.
You know, twenty million dollars but two wages apparently out of the question.
Why followed Jarod if this is what you wanted? That was payoff the debt.
Jarod is to win friends and influence people.
I bring the man, all is forgivable.
The Center welcomes We'll see.
So they sent you to clean up? - Really gonna kill me? - That's up to you.
Then why are you still talking about it? It isn't as easy as it looks, is it? You know why you don't want to kill me? Because you are me.
It is natural desire for poeple like us to dominate the fine.
You and I have nothing in common.
We bo We both recognise, that this notion of human equality just perpetuates mediocrity.
But we are not mediocrity.
Are we, Miss Parker? We are independent.
And independence, is the privilege of the strong.
Tell me, Miss Parker.
How strong are you? Strong enough.
How strong are you? Test me.
Nice working with you.
Yeah.
Mr.
Flanagan? I hold a restaurant called Jax.
How did you get this number? Some friends of yours are over there now setting you up to take a big fall.
I hope you remember this call if I need help in the future.
- Yeah.
- There were some cops hanging around the bar.
Cops? I overheard one say Flanagan was going to set you up for a big fall tonight.
I thought you should know.
What the hell is this? Turn around slowly and put your pistol on the pool table.
So what the hell is ( cellophane!) And why you get to pay extra afford anyway? What is this? I just thought you'd like to see how Lester Knight looked, after you and Joey killed him.
Who are you? Turn around and walk.
Get in it.
You are a dead man,Jarod.
You hear me, you are dead.
Woo, you need a chill out.
It's look cramp in there.
lmagine how Dean Clark must feel in his cell.
You are a RICO.
Did you know about this? What you think! Well the truth is I am not really a cop or a mobster.
It's sort of complicated.
Now each of you is responsible for the murder of Lester Knight.
So I thought it will be really need if you feel like he felt.
Listen, Jarod.
- It wasn't my idea about - Shut up, Joey.
Shut up.
Lester Knight found about Flanagan and Flanagan bumped him off.
Yeah, you dumped the body and then you framed Dean Clark.
Listen, Jarod, I'll give anything you want.
Actually you've just given me everything I need.
Jarod, please.
You just you can't leave me in here and die.
It doesn't really matter if you freeze, or you suffocate.
Like you say,Joey.
Dead is dead.
- Hey.
- Jarod, no.
- Dead is dead.
You are dead.
It is a mess, Miss Parker.
No head.
One of his arms, both of his legs are missing.
I'm guessing he got chewed up by the prop of a very large boat.
But it is him.
Thumb is got away.
Mr.
Lyle.
Put a gun on you.
And made the choice for you.
I'll see you later.
Miss Parker.
Will you be alright? I'm just tired, Syd.
I am gonna go home to bed.
And I am feeling I am going to sleep like a baby.
I on that semiconduct chip before Raines had it confiscated.
It contained codes.
It is a computer chip, Broots.
No, no, no.
I don't think you understand.
It contained genetic codes.
Genetic codes? - Yeah.
- For what? I think the properer question will be ''for whom''? And? I am not a geneticist.
I just can't help wondering if it has it's something to do with Jarod.
How is my angel? There were genetic codes on that stolen panel.
Don't worry about.
That's not important.
Important enough to have me killed a man.
Well, he is the enemy.
You did the right thing.
For who? Smell like a cleaner.
.
can't .
.
this life.
Let's rest, angel.
You look like a hell.
It's a joke.
After you testify in court, and all those blows over, send me a postcard from Hawaii.
Hawaii? I don't even have enough money to get to Jersey.
You do now.
Where did this come from? Joey's private account.
All the money he took from you.
Plus interest.
Who are you really? An artist.
