Previously on "The Catch"...

Agent Dao is here right now.

Ben: And going through your mail at the moment.

You can't trust this guy.

How well do you know Alice Vaughan?

I know her well enough to know that you've been bugging her house.

If you ever come anywhere near her again, I will personally see to it that you are deported back to where you came from.

Do you want to maybe get a drink?

Shawn kind of asked me to dinner.

Our payment is now officially past due, so it won't be long before they send someone after us, and when that happens, we have two options... deliver or die.

You've taken the words right out of my mouth.

I really hope I don't have to k*ll you.

Why'd you leave the family?

You were next in line.

No, I was never next in line. I'm a woman.

Our Benefactor has decided to forgive your payment this month.

He needs you to steal a bracelet.

The Shives are here.

Is every crime syndicate in town after this bracelet?

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Mickey.

I suppose you're looking for this.

[Silenced g*nshots]

Aah!

[Tires screech]

Get in!

[Engine revs]

3JRQ158.

What's your name?

Benjamin Jones.

Benjamin Jones.

Where is it? Alice, I don't have time for games.

If you want your bracelet back, you're going to have to play by my rules from now on.

[Cellphone beeps]

[Sighs]

Margot: There you are! Where have you been?

I've been calling you all night.

My phone d*ed.

I thought you d*ed.

What happened?

Oh, uh...

Mickey Shive's aim isn't what it used to be.

Well, are you okay? Let me see.

I'm fine.

It's just a scratch.

Good.

Well, did you get the bracelet?

I did.

I just... I have to shower and change.

No, there's no time. We've got a new problem.

Whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait.

[Laughter]

Benji!

Rhys.

Felicity.

Morning.

Rhys: Benji!

How are ya?!

You look well. Bit tired.

Ah! Ah!

Ooh, what happened here?

Uh...

Mwah!

Did you miss me?

[Chuckles]

Hello, sis. Mwah.

As you can see, my brother's here for a visit.

Our Benefactor has come to collect.

Right, then.

Where's my bracelet?

[Cellphone rings]

Alice: Why do I have a feeling this is not a social call?

Ben: I need that bracelet back.

See, you're fine stealing from other people, but when it happens to you, you don't like it.

I was forced to steal it to pay off my debt, and if I don't hand it over, if I don't pay off my debt...

You're a dead man?

I can tell by the way you said that, you don't believe me.

I spent a year believing you.

Look where that got me.

That was the old me. This is the new me.

And the new me is gonna get sh*t in the head if you don't give me the bracelet back.

If I give it back, I'm an accessory to a crime.

If you keep it, you'll be found guilty of the crime.

And let me tell you something... my Benefactor isn't the only one looking for it.

Those people sh**ting at me last night?

If they find out you have it, they'll be sh**ting at you, too.

Now you're just trying to scare me.

No, I'm trying to terrify you, because you should be terrified, because I'm terrified for you.

All right, fine.

You want the bracelet so badly?

Come and get it.

[Whispering] I don't want to bother him, you know.

It's... maybe something for later.

[Whispering] He's great.

But Alice... She's busy, too, and I just don't think that...

[Sighs]

Yes, we're talking about you.

Shawn needs your help.

Shawn: It's actually not for me.

It's for an army buddy of mine.

You were in the Army?

The four years after college.

Totally.

Shawn: She's one of the first female Army Rangers, and she could really use your help.

"She"?

Captain Nia Brooks, this is Alice Vaughan...

Hi.

Valerie Anderson...

Hello.

Shawn: And this is Danny Yoon, the detective I was telling you about, and Sophie.

I have heard good things.

Oh, he's way too nice to me.

[Chuckles] He is annoyingly perfect, isn't he?

[Chuckles]

We hear congratulations are in order.

You're making history.

Thank you, but I'm not sure what I'm...

Don't let her downplay it.

Nia's the first woman ever to join the Rangers... the Army's elite special ops force.

Now that the Pentagon's opened up combat roles to women, she'll be among the first to deploy.

Which is why there's been backlash.

Stupid stuff at first.

My gear was stolen, equipment was messed with.

But then I started getting threats.

What kind of threats?

E-mails, notes, photos.

Did you report all this?

To my commanding officer weeks ago.

But then I got this.

My dog tags, which had been stolen, along with a k*lled-in-action letter on official stationary addressed to my parents.

That's when I said maybe she should come in and meet you guys.

Yeah, but the thing is, if anyone knew I went outside the Army for help...

No one will know.

We will figure out who's behind this, and we'll make it stop.

What you're doing is too important.

Thank you.

But if you could just find out who this is, I'll take care of it myself.

Maybe you can take care of a federal agent for me while you're at it.

No, please. Allow me.

♪ ♪

So, where is it?

Someplace safe.

That sounds unnecessarily mysterious.

There were Shives all over the consulate last night.

Reps from all the major U.S. syndicates.

Armed to the teeth.

So I hid the bracelet so if they got to me, they wouldn't be able to get to it.

Clever boy. Well done.

How's your omelet?

Mm, it's fine.

You must have worked up quite an appetite.

Mmm!

That is good. You want to try Felicity's omelet?

No, thanks. I've had it.

So, what is this bracelet, Rhys?

Why is every crook in town after it?

'Cause it's worth a bloody fortune.

Well, you already have a fortune.

Several, including mine.

Now, now.

Ben's right.

Margot: You didn't fly all the way from London for a piece of jewelry.

What's it really?

All right.

The truth?

Mm-hmm.

I'm not here for the bracelet.

I'm not just here for the bracelet.

I'm here because Mum sent me.

You are not!

What?

It's true.

Since when do you listen to Mum?

How can you not? She bangs on and on.

The woman never shuts up.

About what?

About you. About us.

She wants us to make peace.

I wasn't aware we were at w*r.

No, not officially.

So you'll forgive our debt?

Yes. I will.

The minute you pay me back.

And so much for making peace.

I did forgive you this month's payment in exchange for the bracelet.

Speaking of which...

Shall you and me go and retrieve it from its secret hiding place?

I think it's safer for you if I go alone, in case anyone's watching me.

That's pretty thoughtful of you, Benji.

Don't be long.

♪ ♪

[Sighs]

I've come to apologize.

We're not interested in your apology.

Then perhaps this.

A peace offering.

What are we looking at?

A gala at the Larágan Consulate.

They had an uninvited guest.

Your friend, Christopher Hall.

We believe he stole something from the Larágan Prime Minister.

What did he steal?

This.

If we find that bracelet, we'll find Christopher Hall.

♪ ♪

Maybe he is here to make peace.

Oh, right, 'cause that's what Rhys does.

Wherever he goes, he just makes peace.

Why would you believe anything that comes out of his lying mouth?

Because I know him. I know when he's lying.

See?

This is exactly why I had to get you away from him... because the minute the two of you are together, I cease to exist.

That's not true.

I am partners with you now, not him.

Well, make sure he knows that.

I know my brother.

He's here for more than just a bracelet.

So whatever it is, we have to present a united front.

He'll try and divide and conquer.

He always does.

So we can't let him or anything else come between us.

Do you promise me?

I promise.

♪ ♪

We don't know much about the bracelet... only that every crime syndicate in town seems to be after it.

But you think Christopher has it.

So what do you want from us?

You're the one with all the information.

I wanted to share it with you to make it up to you.

You think this makes up for bugging my house, invading my privacy?

We all have the same goal, Ms. Vaughan.

We have very different methods, Agent Dao.

So if you'll excuse me...

You want to make it up to her?

Then don't come back until you catch him.

♪ ♪

Margot: You slept with my brother!

I wasn't aware you and I were exclusive.

No, we're not. Let's be clear.

This is not romantic jealousy you are witnessing.

This is disgust.

You slept with me, and then you slept with my brother.

Technically, I slept with him first.

I've been doing that for quite some time.

I assumed you knew.

How would I know?

Given your rather pronounced lesbian tendencies, why would I make that assumption?

You sleep with Ben.

How do you explain your lesbian tendencies?

I prefer not to.

Takes all the fun out of them.

Did you know he was coming?

No, I would have told you.

Do you know why he wants this bracelet?

He's not said.

Can you find out?

He thinks I'm his.

Right, which is exactly why he might actually tell you.

And then you can tell me.

What's in it for me?

I don't know.

What would you like?

You are disgusting.

I think I'm nice.

Hmm.

So, both the Army and the media are making Nia the center of attention with these stories.

There have been articles for and against her in every major publication.

And the stuff on the message boards is out of control.

But this was somebody close to her, close enough to steal her dog tags.

Someone she went to Ranger school with, someone who washed out?

Sophie and I went through a list of the wash-outs.

And so far, there's only one of them who's had access to this kind of official stationary.

1st Lieutenant Evan Connors.

That little bitch is making death threats?

I didn't say that, or use those words, but has he ever said anything?

No. No, he knows better.

What about any other Rangers?

The other Rangers are my family now.

They've got my back. It isn't them.

What about outside the Rangers?

The only person I see is Shawn.

Shawn?

Sullivan, as in Agent Shawn.

Wait, so you and Shawn are...

No, I thought he was dating you.

No, I mean, we've gone out a couple times...

I'm sorry. Look, I'm sorry.

Was that a secret?

No, no.

No, it's fine.

So, when do I get to have this little chat with Evan Connors?

Not yet. Not until we have proof.

We'll find this guy, whoever he is.

Just... give us a little more time.

[Sighs]

Alice: We're talking more now than we did when you were Christopher Hall.

Ben: Where are you now?

On my way to the Larágan Consulate to return the bracelet.

Alice, don't do that.

Agent Dao is looking for it, too.

Dao's the least of my problems right now.

Mine, too, at the moment.

I'll have to call you back.

I assume you're here for this?

[Silenced g*nshots]

[Engine revs, tires screech]

[Grunts]

Allie, behind you!

I'll take that g*n and the bracelet.

[Engine starts]

[Tires screech]

Are you all right? Are you hurt? Is your neck okay?

I'm fine! I'm fine!

How's your neck?

They're getting away!

Is your neck okay?

You're not going after them.

Don't tell me what to do.

Get in the car or get out of my way!

This is my debt! It's my problem!

It's my fault I stole the bracelet from you.

I am doing this alone.

Let me help.

I want to help.

You want to help me steal a bracelet?

I want to help you not die.

You don't know anything about these people... who they are or how they work.

No, I don't.

But I know someone who does.

You want to work with Agent Dao?

Mm-hmm.

Are you absolutely sure?

Mm-hmm.

[Knock on door]

Is he back?

Have you heard from him?

Not yet.

I thought you two were supposed to be partners.

We are.

When Benji and I were partners, I knew where he was at all times.

Well, maybe that's why he's working with me and not with you.

[Keyboard clacking]

You're in a mood.

I have missed you, you know.

[Scoffs] You have not.

I have.

You used to do all the work.

I didn't have to do anything.

Yeah, it's good to be king.

Did you actually think that when Dad d*ed they would put you in charge?

I mean, I don't know if you've noticed, darling, but you're kind of a lady.

Men don't like taking orders from ladies.

Tell that to the Queen.

I think Elizabeth knows.

The thing is... you act as if you've been exiled.

When, in actual fact, you abandoned me, and you took Benji with you.

He did have a choice in the matter.

Yeah, but I couldn't exactly offer him the same enticements, could I?

Not for lack of trying.

He is rather straight, isn't he?

Bless him.

How are things in that department?

Fine, thanks.

How's about things with you and whatever her name is?

Felicity.

She's fascinated by the two of you.

She tells me you do all your own legwork for every con.

Yeah, well, we can't exactly afford staff with the debt you've got us carrying.

I keep meaning to ask you.

What happened?

How come you got no money all of a sudden?

You used to be very good at this.

I still am!

It's not me. It's your precious Benji.

Really?

Do tell.

[Door opens, closes]

You're back.

[Sighs] I was worried.

About you, not the bracelet.

Can I have it?

I'm sorry.

Mickey Shive was waiting for me.

What do you think they're gonna do with it?

Sell it, of course.

Same as me.

To whom?

Rhys, if you tell us a bit about the bracelet, we can help you recover it.

Oh, you're going to.

Tell me about Mickey Shive.

You need to turn around and go home.

Nope.

That's the thing about girls... so emotional.

You're not worth it.

That wasn't for you.

That was for me. I hate that guy.

And if Christopher has the bracelet?

We'll be there when they try to take it from him.

Will you let me know when and where so I can be there?

Of course.

Apparently the diamonds in the bracelet came from India 200 years ago before the British walked in and stole everything.

So he's selling them back?

He's giving them back.

That little bastard.

He's expanding into India.

And Africa and the Middle East.

Mickey gave it to his boss this morning.

Emeric Shive is in town?

Until tomorrow.

Then he's leaving on a private jet.

Bound for India, I expect.

How did you know?

What's the good news?

We have until noon tomorrow to figure out a way to steal the bracelet back.

After everything you've done to me, every lie you've told...

Did you at least get the bracelet back?

No.

Shive gave it to his boss, who's on a flight to India tomorrow, so I have from now until then to get it back.

But you can't.

Dao is watching him, waiting for you to make your move.

I can't not. My boss needs that bracelet.

So does Dao.

Well, this is not gonna end well for me.

Or for me.

I know you don't believe a word I'm saying, but I am sorry, Allie.

He'll want to calm him down, so he'll agree to meet.

You got to get here right now.

And when they do, we'll be there.

Oh, my God.

Is that...?

Nia's brother.

My own brother?!

Look, before you say anything...

Major Brooks, you don't get to talk right now.

You don't get to tell me what to do, Ms. Vaughan.

Shut up, Brian!

Does Dad know about this?

You gonna tell him?

You sent me death threats.

Nia.

You destroyed my house.

I was trying to protect you.

How?

By turning my friends against me?

First Todd, and then my C.O.?!

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

You have no friends!

Listen, I love you. I respect you.

You are the strongest, bravest woman I know.

But you're a woman.

And there are Rangers out there who hate you because of that, who do not have your back.

And if they don't have your back in combat, you're dead.

And I don't want you to die.

There are other ways you can serve.

All I ever wanted to be is a Ranger.

Like Dad.

Like you.

You are a Ranger.

Ms. Vaughan...

It's okay, Alice.

It's not okay. I'm sorry.

I'm so tired of hearing men say they are trying to protect us when what that does is take away our choices.

This is your life.

These are your choices to make.

But they're yours.

Not his.

You okay?

He said he was just trying to help.

So, what are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go be a Ranger.

And if he's right and something happens out there, it's kind of the gig, you know?

You work with some powerful, kick-ass women.

Well, that's the way I like them.

[Keyboard clacking]

I don't understand. Why is he not picking up?

He's not picking up because...

Benji, call me!

Because I am doing the talking for both of us.

Margot.

We had a deal.

Yes, we had a deal to steal the bracelet from the Larágan Consulate in exchange for our missed payment, but now...

We had a deal for the bracelet.

If you want us to steal it again, then you will forgive our debt in full.

It's a small price to pay for all of India, Africa, and the Middle East.

Who told you about that?

Do we have a deal?

Because, in 40 minutes, that bracelet is on its way to India without you.

I am going to need this in writing.

[Sighs]

[Scoffs]

You are the absolute worst.

You know that?

Most people have sisters who love them, support them.

Most people don't have you for a brother.

All right. What's the plan?

The plan is already in motion.

We are good to go.

Copy that.
