Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Republic of Doyle.

No hard feelings right?

You dropped me from a building.

You broke my leg.

And then you sh*t me in my good leg.

Wolf.

Walter: I saw Kevin Crocker.

Tinny's been visiting him.

He's Tinny's father.

Kevin Crocker has been talking to Walter.

You need to keep your distance.

I'm visiting a prisoner. Kevin Crocker.

That's not possible.

It's time for you to think about having a family.

I need a mother, you know, of the unborn children I don't have.

Leslie'd be a fantastic mother.

[g*nsh*t]

Stay right where you are.

I know what you're up to.

This all has to stay very hush-hush.

She's got your number. And not in a good way.

No matter what anyone else said, I knew that you were going to be okay.

What did you think would happen when we saw each other?

This.



Des: There is some load of money floating around here.

Des. Stop talking in my ear.

I'm just saying that everybody here is like fifty times richer than me.

Stop talking in my ear or I'll go up there and hang you from the flagpole by your underwear.

Des: Aha. Joke's on you. I don't wear underwear, okay.

And I won't quit this fight. I want more money from you weekly.

Okay listen. Why don't you focus on earning the money that I actually pay you now.

Alright?

Hey! Dean Martin.

Put the booze down. We're working.

All right. Fine.

You happy?

This Australian Commissioner guy, Garrett.

He's paying us top dollar for additional security. So look sharp.

Des: New threats. Possible sabotage.

Who knows? All the same, I gotta say, these Aztec Week celebrations.

They're pretty awesome.

Jake: ANZAC, idiot. ANZAC, not Aztec.

Des: Australian New Zealand

Army Corp Week.

Right. Right.

Commemorating the first major m*llitary action fought by those guys during the First World w*r.

See? I knows. It happened in April.

Put it down, I said.

All right b'y. Relax.

Dad, I'm telling you. This fella Garrett.

He is seriously hitting on Rose.

Biiiiiiig time.

Jake: Ah, b'ys.

My twelve o'clock.

We got an employee who's either quitting and going on a classy bender.

Or a serious problem.

I got your back. Raise. Or no raise.

Although I'd really like a raise.

Don't move please. I got you.

Take it easy!

Uh! Uh!

Oooh.

Arrgh!

Who is this?

[Punch] Uhh!

Ow!
[Punch]

[Punch]

Ow! Stop punching me!

[Sound of alarm]

Jimmy?

Jake Doyle?

You gotta be kidding me!

Jake friggin Doyle?

Doyle.

You're under arrest.

For aiding the escape of a wanted felon.

Lads when you arrest him, make sure the cuffs are extra tight.

And will somebody please go after her!

♪ Oh yeah. ♪
♪ Oh yeah! ♪
♪ Oh yeah ♪
♪ Oh yeah ♪
♪ Oh yeah, ee-yeah, ♪ ee-yeah, yeah yeah ♪

♪ ee-yeah, yeah ♪
♪ Oh yeah! ♪

I can't even begin to express how badly you screwed up.

Look Jimmy, I'm really sorry that I kicked your ass.

And broke your nose in front of that super hot girl.

You screwed up a takedown of an international art thief who I've been following for ten years.

What is all this?

Aw. I'm afraid this is way above your pay grade, Constable.

It's classified.

Excuse me. Who are you? And why is Jake in cuffs?

Well that's not information that I can share with you right now.

But if you know this moron at all, I'm sure you can come up with your own conclusions.

Look don't mind him alright? He's just, like, exercising his authority.

Can I talk to you?

Make it quick.

Jake Doyle. You give him special treatment.

Why are we talking about this?

It just feels like you give him extreme preferential treatment.

And to be honest, it's affecting your job.

I'm disappointed in you.

You're disappointed?

You heard me.

Constable. Move away from my desk.

What do you mean?

Walk away.

And don't you have work to do?

I --

Go make yourself useful.

And increase security at The Rooms immediately.

Make sure everything in that Museum is locked down tight.

Are you sure you want to do that here?

I'm highly trained.

I can take this thing apart and put it back together in ten seconds.

Oh yeah. No doubt you can put an arse right back in a cat.

What can the RNC do for you Corporal?

Jimmy: Natalie Hirst.

Specialty art thief who I've been following for ten years.

Why am I here?

Whatever she's after at The Rooms, she's going to need to re-group and come up with a new plan.

And I'm gonna be there again to stop her.

Hello! Why am I here?

Jake. Stop talking.

Thank you.

My orders are to operate at an arms length from any local police force.

So my superior has ordered me to hire private help.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me. No way!

You think I want to work with you?

Believe me Doyle -

No matter what anybody says, Jake, You get the job done.

I got my own cases and my own partner to worry about, okay?

The last thing I need is this friggin' accident-prone, gravity-challenged ginger following me around all day.

Ginger?

Jake!

Please don't use that term.

It is derogatory.

Ginger's derogatory?

And there are charges pending regarding your interfering in a federal police investigation.

Am I even going to get paid for helping Little Orphan Annie here?

The satisfaction of helping your country should be payment enough.

Take the deal, Jake.

Meet me outside.

I have a lead we need to follow up on.

Oh, thank you so much for that.

And what's wrong with you anyway?

You're acting all --

Barbary? I'm just dealing with some family issues.

It's nothing serious.

Oh.

You know what might take your mind off it?

Making out.

Thank you.

Good bye, Jake.

Rose: Yes. Everything's under control.

Police have extra security. We should be fine.

I have to say I'm not comfortable with the extra police presence.

Why is that?

Just takes away from the spirit of celebration.

All these cops about.

But I have to say, though, Rose.

You've been spectacular, in every way.

Wish I could say the same for Malaki.

Malachy. Malachy.

That's what I said. Malaki.

Ow b'y.

Garrett, do you think the attempted robbery had anything to do with your celebrations tonight?

Was there any reason why anyone would want to sabotage this event?

I can assure you your son's little episode had nothing to do with me and the ANZEC event.

Just keep your eyes peeled.

And keep your son away from me.

[Crash]

You okay there?

Fine. Thanks.

Do your job.

Malachy.

This is a big pay day for us and I'm a big girl.

I can handle him.

There's something Garrett's not telling us.

Can we get this going?

Or do you want to change your clothes again?

I find it hilarious that you're like, zero, for twenty trying to catch this gal.

Whoa, whoa. Your car looks terrible.

Black interior. Standard transmission.

This is a different car. What happened?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just forget about that. Okay?

What I want to know is what you got going on in your little red headed brain.

And how you're going to catch her.

Natalie is not to be mis-underestimated.

Mis-underestimated isn't a word.

Irregardless. She's a criminal mastermind.

And I've never been able to catch her.

All disrespect intended Jimmy, but you wouldn't be able to catch the clap.

Natalie's been pursued by every police force in the world.

And no one has caught her, so...

Do you even know what we're supposed to be protecting?

I mean, what she's after?

No. Not yet. But, I do have a lead. I tracked her to an address.

See I did a search of all her known aliases.

And I came up with a hit.

She is renting a parking space downtown.

Your mastermind used a known alias to rent a parking space in a city that she knows you've tracked her to.

Nothing suspicious about that at all?

She obviously slipped up.

Everybody does it from time to time.

It's a setup. Jimmy. If you ask me, we go back to The Rooms and we stake it out.

Figure out what she's trying to steal and catch her doing it.

I'm in charge. Okay, I think I've told you this, like, a hundred times.

So shut your mouth and let's drive away in this stupid poop-mobile.

Jake.

Jake. Open the door Jake.

Open the door!

Jake!

You're friggin kidding me! You're kidding me.

I know that. But it's out of my control.

Yes, yes!

[Sound of phone camera: Click, click, click.]

It is secure.

Please. I'll do anything.

[beep]

Hello?

Jimmy: She's been here. I can sense these things.

So knock it off.

Jake: Oh, so you're a clairvoyant, now, are you Jimmy?


Because myself, I always thought you had the instincts of a potted plant.

You know, first of all, these att*cks on my confidence do not help.

And B: Although I have never caught Natalie.

I have foiled her plans, like, a bunch of times.

Foiled?

Yes. Foiled her robbery attempts.

The Glenbow in Calgary, La Maison Rouge in Paris and the National Gallery in London.

Why am I defending myself to you?

Jimmy?

Why would she leave you a heart made out of lipstick, right next to the parking spot that she rented?

What, Natalie?

Obviously, she's leaving you a message.

[bang]

What is it, like a catalogue?

Jake: It's a program from The Rooms.

So not only is she telling you she's gonna rob something.

She's telling us where.

Why would she do that?

Jimmy: One of the pages is missing.


[Sound of car]

Natalie!

Who the hell is this now?

Angus.

Angus: Natalie.

It's time we settled accounts, don't you think?

Who's Angus?

Angus: We really should talk about this Natalie.

Drop it. You're under arrest.

Easy there now red.

I mean it.

See what you did?

You broke my g*n!

What?

Whoa!

Ooh!

[Punch]

Wolf?

Hey Jake!

Ooh!

Arrgh!

[Punch]

Ow!

[Car squeals.]

[Car squeals again]

Jimmy look out!

Crash.

Jimmy.

Hey Wolf. What are you doing here?

Des: Hospital mobile office.

I knows you don't love it, eh b'y.

Wolf, what are you even doing here anyways?

Heard little Jimmy's girlfriend was in town, so the Boss said to keep an eye on her.

Who's the beast?

His name is Angus Ferriss--
A thug.

I got a feeling he's tracking whatever Natalie is after.

Why?

Natalie gets herself in trouble with a variety of dangerous people.

Angus is one of the worst there is.

Ughh. My nose is k*lling me.

My leg is k*lling me. At least it's not broken.

You're a lucky guy.

Lucky? Last time I saw you, you broke this leg three times.

Now I have arthritisises.

Des: You know, I was sh*t in the stomach once.

And now, when it's foggy, I get heartburn.

What's all this?

You know, I'm actually available for extra work at a rate of pay that is obviously way below what I consider to be fair in an open market system.

What?

I mean that I've tracked all the items that Natalie stole over the years.

So, green dots are for successful heists.

And red dots are for when Jimmy's thwarted her.

Now I'm just trying to see a pattern.

Did you find one?

Not a one.

Yeah, I've never know what her target was.

It's part of her brilliance. No consistency.

Yeah, like Jimmy's work.

[Des laughs]

For some reason, she left you this clue.

God knows why. But I'm telling you, it's all connected to the Australian ceremonies at The Rooms.

Oh, no, ah, totally, totally. I found a copy of the catalogue.

Now the one you found had a page missing.

Now one side is recent acquisitions at The Rooms.

It's great stuff, but nothing priceless.

The other side is an upcoming exhibit of rare Newfoundland currency.

The Rowe Collection. What the hell is that?

Des: Well, I'm glad you asked.

See, in 1949, Newfoundland joined Canada, right?

Before then, we had, like, our own Nation.

Our own government.

Our own Prime Minister. Our own --
currency.

This collection is worth a fortune.

Half decent payday. It could be what Angus is after.

[phone rings]

Dad. What?

Dad what?

I'm sorry. I'm in a bit of a hurry.

What do you want?

That's why I'm calling you.
Dum dum.

This guy Garrett.

Yeah, yeah. The guy who's infatuated with Rose. Go on.

I got a feeling he's tied into this attempted robbery thing. You got a pen?

I don't need a pen. Just hurry up.

749 Parade Street. I checked into the address.

It's a temporary holding area for exhibitions slated for The Rooms.

Sounds like it could be related to your case.

You're sure this is not some kind of jealousy thing about the guy that could be my new dad.

Just follow up and get back to me.

[beep]

Des. Great work man. And the detail.

Very well done.

Ha, ha ha. It's a basic formula.

Three parts want, eight parts talent.

And it's its own reward since the monetary one doesn't really factor in much.

Let's go, alright? Des, stay on this.

Wolf, will you give him a hand? We could use your help, given your particular skill set.

No problems. Keep this fella in one piece, will ya?

You knows we're gonna end up carrying him later on.

All right. Let's go.

And I'm in charge of this investigation.

So stop with the "Let's do this and let's do that stuff."

[bang]

Hi.

Rose: Hey Mal.

We were just discussing the details of tonight's dinner.

I was wondering if maybe you would join me at the head table tonight, Rose.

Just to keep an eye on things from up close, of course.

Rose: Of course. I --

We could probably work that out. Yeah.

Great.

You're not sitting at the dinner table with him.

I'm not?

I mean, you shouldn't have to. He is a massive tool.

Rose: Oh honey. Come on.

Relax. Trust me. I'll be fine.

Just one last thing.

Is there anything special planned for the final ceremony?

I know you're suspicious of me Malaki.

Hmmff!

My government is planning on presenting the province with a collection to add to the Newfoundland Sterling.

The Rowe Collection.

And thanks for being such a good sport about Rose.

Jake: They store items here to be catalogued before they're moved to The Rooms to go on exhibition.

The currency, Natalie's next target, is in this building?

Maybe.

Okay. Keep your eyes peeled.

She's as cunning as she is exquisite.

Man, you are obsessed with this girl.

I'm not obsessed.

I'm sorry. You're in love with this girl.

No. The only thing I'm in love with is her awesome talent.

Okay. I respect her.

Like Sherlock respects his Moriarity.

Except Natalie is way hotter.

And in this case, Sherlock is a lot dumber.

Jake: It's unlocked. Someone's here.

Nope. Everything sees okay.

We b*at her to the punch.

She left the door open. You'd think, Jimmy, after all these years of chasing her, you'd have at least one instinct as a cop.

You know, you're really starting to bug me Doyle.

When this is all over, you and I are gonna settle some scores.

Shut up.

You shut up!

Seriously. Shut up!

No. You know what? I'm totally sick of this.

Totally sick.

Don't you hear that? Shut up!

Alright. You know what?

I'll even let you get the first punch, huh?

Come on! Come on! I friggin' dare you.

[expl*si*n]

Leslie: Jake we've taken an inventory of the warehouse.

My leg is broken. Plus the nose. Again.

Bruised ribs. Concussion.

I'm sure I look terrible.

But thanks to my blurred vision, I can't really tell!

The only think missing from the vault.

Is the Newfoundland Currency Collection.

And you don't have a scratch on you. Not one!

It sucks to be Jimmy, I'd say.

Were there people working the ceremony at The Rooms?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Shane Garrett is involved.

Keep me posted.

[ring]

Yeah?

What do you got?

Well, good news.

Rose's new boyfriend, Shane Garrett?

I'm pretty sure he's involved in all of this.

I figured as much. Watch your mouth.

Alright. You just keep an eye on him.

Oh. I'll keep a very close eye on him.

I'm dying to take him down.

Let me know if anything comes up.

Ohh!

[Thud]

It's not jealousy.

This is a big gig for us, Mal. We're making triple our rate.

I appreciate that.

But working security for this dirtbag is not worth it.

The worst is over.

And I'm sure he hasn't given me a second thought since the last time we spoke.

What's this?

What that?

Um. Oh, "A beautiful dress for a beautiful Rose. SVG."

SVG?

Shane Vincent Garrett.

You know his middle name?

You know you're so cute when you're not jealous.

Why don't you touch base with Leslie?

See if she can question Garrett.

Maybe I will.

In any event, there's no way

I'm going to be wearing his hideous dress.

Okay, it's not that hideous.

Still...

Des: Okay. So I'm working on
a position on that missing crate.

Which, I must say, is crazy fast, even for me.

And well, Wolf is out tracking down a lead.

Great work, Des. Keep this up.

I'm going to steal you away from the Doyles.

Well do you have, like, a brochure.

Or like a website you can direct me to?

Because contract talks with Jake seem to have halted.

Keep on him. You'll wear him down.

Man, she is hot.

Jimmy: She is.

You wanna hear something crazy?

Always.

I'm a little infatuated with her.

You know, I've been tracking her.

Studying her every move for so long.

It actually feels like --

Like you're together, together? Like as one -- but separately?

Yes.

I mean, I haven't even actually met her yet.

Maybe that's the way it should be.

Maybe we should never meet them.

Because that way they can't break your heart over and over and over again.

You know? And right to your face.

[ding]

Oh. I got it. I got it.

It's within five miles of Mile One Stadium.

So I can text you the exact address. Let's go.

You need back-up?

No no no. We might scare her off.

We should go alone.

What can I do for you constable?

I know you're working a security gig for the High Commissioner Shane Garrett.

Her majesty Leslie Bennett thinks he might be involved in a case I'm working on.

Her majesty?

Just answer the question please.

There was no question.

The Australian connection with the ceremony.

The incident at the Art Gallery.

And now the missing Newfoundland Currency?

Which the Australian Government had purchased.

And was donating to The Rooms.
I hear you.

Still no question.

Is it connected? Is Shane Garrett involved?

If you'd like this ex cop's advice, sounds to me like you might want to have a friendly chat with Mr. Garrett.

A friendly chat. I have nothing on him.

I could invite him somewhere, where you could just happen to bump into him. Like...

A bar maybe? The Duke. Fifteen minutes.

Okay.
What's next?

I just have to pop into the Duke to see some fireworks.

What?

Might not be Gucci. But it's pretty damn hot.

Hey. I had an epiphany with Des.

Oh, this'll be worth the cash.

No, no. I'm serious.

What was it? Please tell me. I'm dying to know.

Natalie and me. You know.

We've been in each other's lives for so many years, in a very non-present kind of way.

In that you've been stalking her across the planet. Go on.

We've been alone. Together, but separate for all major holidays.

She sends flowers for my mother's birthday.

Well, that is actually kind of sweet.

It's the most functional relationship I've ever had.

To be honest with you, I kinda know how that feels.

Nah man.

I see the chemistry between you and Leslie. Hey.

It's pretty clear that you're gonna have her babies.

If you mean, she could potentially have my babies...

Then yeah, I think Leslie's be a fantastic mother.

What do we got here?

Looks big enough to hold some old currency.

[shower running]

Oh crap. It's her.

It's Natalie. She's in there in the shower?

Oh man.

You freaking out there Jimmy? You might see a bit of leg?

Oh my god. Natalie's leg?

I mean, I --

I think I could handle that.

I mean, I would turn away as a gentleman.

But then again, it would be right there in front of me.

And I'm human, after all.

Jimmy shut up.

There's your leg, Jimmy b'y.

Ugh!

Help me Doyle!

Oooh!

Just, just, Just play dead Jimmy.

Help me!

Jimmy: What are you doing?

Ahh, my leg!

Doyle! Ah! gross! Oh it's gross!

Doyle help!

Arrgh! Help!

[click click]

Aright, alright. Alright.

Get your naked arse off Jimmy's face.

Please.

Jimmy: Grrr!

I'm gonna be sick.

Put a housecoat on, will ya?

For the love of God.

[Jimmy retches]


Hello?

Rose?

Looking for someone?

I received a text from Rose asking me to meet here for a drink.

She's busy.

But this lady here would like to ask you a few questions.

Monica: Why did you hire the Doyle as extra security?

Did you receive information that someone was going to try to steal the currency?

Sorry. She made me tell her.

The extra security was strictly a precaution based on the value of the gift my government was about to present to Newfoundland.

So you don't know her?

No, I have no idea who that is?

Listen, as you can imagine I've got a lot of fires to put out before tonight's Gala.

I don't want to go over your head. But just to be clear, I will.

Don't' think about jumping on that private jet of yours until you hear from me.

Got it?

Enough of this. Get back to work.

I'd stay on that one, if I were you.

[Jimmy's stomach growls]

I think I'm gonna puke again.

Where are the actual contents to the crate?

You know, the colourful Newfoundland money.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I had no idea this crate was even in here.

You're disgusting. You know that?

Jake: Easier question. Where's Natalie?

We know you two were working together.

Not together. Natalie is in town after the same thing I was after.

The currency collection?

Yeah, right. The currency thing. Whatever.

Look, I know her by reputation.

So I tried to steal it first.

But she b*at me to it.

Of course she did. You moron.

You're some hairy amateur. Nowhere near the calibre of thief that Natalie is.

We know you've been keeping tabs on her.

So where can we find her?

She's your competition. So, why protect her?

I don't know what kind of game she's playing.

All I know is that she obviously planted this crate in here without me knowing about it.

Angus: Hey.

Hey, what are you doing? I know my rights.

Well, well, well.

There's enough here to put you away for a while, brother.

Plus a really gross disgusting as*ault on a police officer.

Where's Natalie?

She's a smart cookie.

She planted that crate here to distract all of us. Why?

If I was her, I'd be trying to pull off the real job.

At the Art Gallery at The Rooms. And I'd be doing it right now.

See? She's not after the currency collection.

I knew it. It's gotta be something else.

We haven't got a lot of time.

Jake: If your were gonna rob the place, where would you enter the building?

This better get me a deal.

West entrance.

I'd hide here.

You're going to the police station.

Can you let me, you know, at least put on some clothes.

Come on! Oh!

Oomph!

Jimmy. We can't chase him and stop Natalie at the same time.

What is wrong with you? You already saw this guy naked.

Up close and personal all over your face and yet you still turn away.

Shut up! It was too soon.

Dad. Where are you?

With the crap job of getting this crap dinner secure.

Okay, listen. Natalie's gonna make her move any minute.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Okay fine. Just get here as soon as you can.

Jake: Wolf's meeting us upstairs.

Good. Wolf. You two. You head upstairs.

We better split up.

Upstairs?

Go!

Wolf: Come on Jimmy. You cut through the gallery.

So you're her, eh?

This is priceless.

Hi.

Where's the Newfoundland Currency Collection?

And if you had it already, why did you break into the Rooms again?

Now don't be shy.

It's not the first time we've been in a room together Jim.

You just didn't know it.

Ahem. Sergeant Bennett asked you a question.

I haven't stolen anything.

I planned to steal it.

But Angus got there first.

So I must be losing my touch.

Is that why you ended up at the art gallery?

See what I'm thinking is, is Angus cut you out of your deal.

So you have to score something bigger.

Why Jim? Do you have something bigger for me?

Okay. Cold showers all around.

We know Angus doesn't have the currency collection.

We also know that you purposely led us to him by planting the crate in his hotel room.

Not to mention the fact that you've been leaving clues for us every of the way.

Now why would you do that?

Why would you believe anything Angus has to say?

Where is he anyway?

He slipped away. But we'll catch him soon.

Just like we caught you.

I guess we'll never know the truth then.

Can I have a minute?

To talk with Natalie alone?

Sure.

This is nice.

I can't believe I finally caught you.

After ten long years of coming so close.

There were times I could actually smell that perfume.

In Algeria.

Yeah.

I followed you to that village.

And when night came, I fell asleep in that barn.

And that whole night I was asleep in that same barn.

And you had no idea.

Not until the next day when I found your note.

Yup.

What's that old cliché?

Maybe in another life, we'd have a chance.

What's this?

It's where you'll find Angus and the currency collection.

I promise.

For old time's sake.

What's wrong?

Are you still messed up with this whole family thing?

It's my dad. He's wanting to see me.

And we haven't exactly been close the last while.

Wanna talk about it?

We had a falling out a long time ago.

A bunch of issues I'd rather not get into.

Look. If you want my advice.

If there's an issue.

And you feel like there's a way that you can deal with it.

You only got one father.

You might want to settle this before it's too late.

Thanks.

I'd better track down that felon you lost.

You're playing nice with her. What do you have?

Jake: I found this.

In Angus's hotel room in his suitcase.

Money transferred in an overseas account to an SVG Inc.

Someone's being paid off. And who the hell is SVG?

Shane Vincent Garrett. The initials he used on a card attached to a dress that he gave to Rose.

Wait a minute. Garrett bought your wife a dress?

What colour was it?

Don't even be at it! I'm not in the mood.

What do you think the connection between Angus and Garrett is?

I don't know.

But I plan to find out.

Let's go. Constable? Make sure you watch Natalie like a Hawk.

Will do.

Thanks Monica.

Man, she really doesn't like you.

You sure you haven't dated?

Des: So it's totally unfair.

I do, like, one fourth of the work.

And I get like one fifth of the pay.

I mean, what's up with that?

I'm just enjoying the steady paycheck.

Well, at least I make more than you do.

Well, at least I get paid more than you do.

Okay.

Tell me if you make more than...

...this?

You're kidding, right?

My God yes!

Des, I think I'll post this on-line.

The people need to know.

No! No. No no no. Gimme that. Give me that back.

Give me.

Whoa, whoa. Hey. Love Birds.

Not interrupting nothing, am I?

Uh, no. Maybe. Yes?

No.

No? No.

Good.

My buddy at the RCMP dug something up that might help us.

What is it?

Newspaper clippings.

And I think these will help connect your little dots.

Okay. Okay. That's-- I'll keep that.

It's an absolute mess.

I've gotta cancel any remaining ANZAC events.

And I can kiss any political aspirations back home good-bye.

You know what.

It's gonna be okay.

I believe you.

You know, I feel a real connection here.

Um... No! Hey!

Let's not fight this.

Garrett, I would rather not have to throw you through that bar.

Rose. Please.

I'm in love with you.

Mal!

Malaki.

[punch]

Key. Mal. Ah. Key.

Honey. He is so not worth it.

She's right.

I'm sorry.

What's your connection to Angus Farriss?

We know you've been taking money from his boss back in Australia.

I've done something I'm not proud of.

But now my life's in danger.

I need protection.

If it helps, Rose came on to me.

Hey! Oh!

The last thing we need is an international incident, okay?

Besides, we need Garrett. He's key to all of this.

Okay. We'll do it your way.

Okay.

Monica: Hey.

You'd better wake up in a hurry.

I have a migraine.

That light coming in from that window is not helping matters.

Jake: Man.

I tell you right now.

This is starting to feel like a wild goose chase.

Oh no. She wasn't lying, Jake.

Besides, what does she have to gain by turning in Angus?

She's in jail.

That's a good point, actually. I'll think about it.

[ring]

Yeah.

Garrett's on the run. He believes his life is in danger.

From Angus?

Yeah.

The lead Natalie gave Jimmy is bogus.

There's no sign of Garrett.

Alright Jimmy, we're getting the hell outta here.

This is your jugular and I can slice it open with one move.

Okay. Just take it easy.

You're not gonna like what happens next.

What the hell happened?

Mmmh!

Monica Hayward let Natalie get the best of her.

She took Hayward's clothes, g*n, and escaped out the front door.

Her clothes?

Does that mean that mean that Monica's running around here naked somewhere?

Jake.

Not that I care.

I have to admit, although I'm really pissed about this --

You're actually impressed with her, aren't you?

Buddy, if you caught her for real, you wouldn't be able to keep chasing her, now would you?

Maybe.

But we have to find her before she leaves town with that currency.

Or strikes again. I got a text from Des.

He says it's urgent. Maybe he's got a lead.

Des: Okay, I'm trying to see if I can find a pattern in regards to Natalie's previous heists.

I.e. that is, a correlation between what she stole and how she went about stealing it.

I got my hands on these newspaper headlines.

From a bunch of cities the day after each art theft.

Look at this.

There's been a death of a key figure the same time as the heist on three separate occasions.

Mal: That's quite a coincidence.

Even for a city bigger than our own.

Actually, with each robbery, some pretty infamous dude was k*lled.

It's a bit much for just a coincidence.

What? Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Oh boy.

She k*lled them all?

She must have been using the robberies as an elaborate smoke screen to carry out her real job.

She's a cleaner.

Des: Her targets were bad, bad me.

Wolf: Murderers.

Those involved in organized crime.

No women. No Kids.

And no one that didn't have a record that didn't involve some pretty bad stuff.

Okay, so she's here to k*ll Garrett.

But why?

Maybe he was flirting with her wife. Wha?

Hey b'y?

It would have been funnier if Jake said that.

I am an idiot.

Pretty much.

No Jimmy. There's no way you gotta wear this, alright?

She's the best I've ever seen. You couldn't have known.

But we gotta get to Garrett before Natalie does.

Thanks.

You know what? You're right.

If we find Garrett, we'll find Natalie.

He's scared and he's in hiding.

But I think there's one person who he'll respond to.

Someone...

...who's having a change of heart.

And now wants to be with him.

You really think this is gonna work.

Jake: Whoever hired Natalie to k*ll Garrett must have hired Angus too.

[ding]


Oh my god, it worked. Garrett wants me to meet him at the Rooms.

He wants me to meet him there.

And then something else he said I can't repeat.

And there's a winky face.

Never underestimate the power you have over men.

Des.

Good work. What do you think?

Yeah.

You got the raise.

Wicked. I knew it! Deadly.

Gross, by.

Let me see that. Clear. Clear. Clear.

Garrett?

Yeah. Could we get an ambulance over at The Rooms please?

Right away?

Is that what I think it is?

Garrett's in stable condition.

Looks like she missed her chance.

Now that's not something she's known to do, is it?

We've intensified our search. This is now attempted m*rder.

And from what you've told me.
Several accounts of m*rder in other countries.

Jake: Jimmy. Buddy. Come on.

Think about it.


You know this girl better than anyone.

It's your chance to catch Natalie.

Where is she headed?

I don't know Jake. I thought I knew her.

Turns out she's a k*ller.

She left the currency and a note just to taunt me.

Okay. What does the note say?

Jimmy. It's been fun.

But this will be our last encounter.

That's why I gave you back the currency collection.

Unfortunately, you now know what I am.

And we'll always have Algeria.

This is your sh*t at redemption here.

Okay, don't let your broken ego get in the way.

Think.

How is she gonna escape?
Come on, Jimmy.

Jimmy: Algeria.


She left me a clue.

She left me a clue.

The sailboat. Algeria.

What?

I know how she's planning to escape.

Let's bring her in.

I should probably thank you for returning the currency collection.

But I have to ask.


Why did you leave me this?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

This is the exact way that you escaped in Algeria.

Really, Jimmy? So, how did I escape?

You rented a fishing boat. And you sailed to Malta.

Then to Rome.

And then you were a ghost.

How I wanted you to find me.

I left you that clue so we would be right here, right now together.

What do you mean?

I want you to come with me.

An art thief is one thing, Natalie.

But a m*rder*r is another. You're a k*ller.

I was a k*ller. But that's over.

But you're here to k*ll Garrett.

I didn't k*ll him, did I?

Garrett's a jerk, but he didn't deserve to die.

The guy who hired me wanted him dead because he screwed up on a kick-back deal.

That's not reason enough to k*ll a man.

There's no good enough reason to k*ll a man.

You might be right.

That's why I'm done with that life.

I'm sorry.

Jake: Natalie.

Unfortunately, no one's gonna be sailing anywhere tonight.

You had a good run, Natalie, but it's over.

Jake: Well Jimmy, I'm sorry.

I should buy you a drink.

Yes b'y, I could use five or ten.

Please don't say "b'y."

What? I thought I said it good.

Only Newfoundlanders can really say "b'y."

Mainlanders just can't pull it off.

Oh. What's this?

Oh Mal, they're gorgeous.

Is it a coincidence they match the dress Garrett gave me?

Be a shame not to see you in that dress.

Dinner tonight, and then some, uh, dancing.

You're on. And maybe we'll come home for dessert.

Ooh?

Working late? That's impressive.

You know you have all the right tools to be a great RNC Officer?

Just let me know if there is anything that I can do to give you a boost in the right direction.

I appreciate that. But I'm good for now. Thanks.

Uh, Katrina?

I was just wondering about your uncle Jake?

Oh, he's not officially seeing anyone right now, but that window is closing fast.

Oh God no. Jake is a train wreck.

I was just wondering if you could keep me posted on some of the cases that he's working on.

Especially those involving other RNC officers like Leslie Bennett.

You want me to spy on my family?

No, it's not like that.

It just there are some nasty rumours going around about Jake.

And I want you to know that I have his back.

But I need to know what he's involved in, in order to protect him.

Jimmy, I know what it's like, You know, to be in love with someone that you can't actually be with.

So...

I'm pretty sure your love isn't a mass m*rder*r.

But thanks for the sentiment.

Des: Hey. So...

In celebration of my new raise, I'd like to offer to buy you both a half pint each, on me, with...Jake do you think I can get an advance on my raise?

Nope.

It's been a pleasure, Jimmy.

Back at you, Jake.

Drinking again b'ys. Hard old life, you got.

We gotta go. Boss needs us. Big job coming.

And me with an extra pint.

Sin to waste it, I s'pose. Just the one, though, Jimmy, hey?

Yup, you bet.

You knows it.

[phone buzzes]

There you go.

No sugar, three cream, right?

Yes, thank you.

It's great to see you, Leslie.

You too, Dad.
