- Get up.

- I apologized.

I tried to explain.

What do you want from me?

- Get up!

- Pete, stop.

- Get on your feet!

I don't wanna get up.

[Maggie] Stop. Stop.

He stole my name.

- Yeah, I know, but...

- He stole my family.

I know, but I still don't

want you to hit him.

Why... why are you

sticking up for him?

I'm not.

It's just we need him.

- No, we don't.

- Yes, you do.

You shut the f*ck up!

[Maggie] Look, Pete...

[Pete] What?

Just a couple more days.

And then what?

Y-y-you get this money?

Yes, I promise.

I promise.

I didn't steal your family.

They think you're me!

We do not have to settle this

right now.

But it's not fair!

No, I know.

All right, come on.

I know.

I know it's not fair.

What is this, a picnic?

I'da punched you

in the f*cking throat.

Hey,

thanks for the support.

There's no way I'm getting

Wasn't he supposed to be here

He'll be here.

What do they even look like?

The same, older.

Your grandfather

had a stroke.

He had a stroke?

He's all right.

- Yeah, you're sure?

- Yeah, and your grandma

hasn't changed at all.

[laughs]

What about--

what about Julia and Taylor?

All grown up, same as you.

I can't stand that

they think that he's me.

I wanna see 'em.

I have to see them.

I know, but we have to

do this first.

We're so close, Pete.

Trust me.

- We need him...

- I can't... No...

To get the money

and stay alive.

Please?

Um...

We're personal shoppers for

a very high net worth

individual.

If anybody says

it's Kevin Costner,

you didn't hear it from us.

We found photographs

of the buffalo online,

we sent it to our client.

He believes this is one of

the Roosevelt buffaloes,

as in sh*t by

Theodore Roosevelt.

Now, you and I both know

that's highly unlikely,

but once our client

gets something in his head,

he's hard to convince otherwise,

so all I'm saying is that

if you were to sell us

the buffalo for the going rate,

we could turn it around

and sell it to you-know-who

for ten times that amount,

and we would split

the difference.

They're here.

Oh, ho!

Uh, Otto,

this is Pete's friend Marius.

Oh, my God, it's...

It's...

It's nice...

It's nice to meet you.

You know, you look

a little familiar to me.

[Audrey] Have we met before?

[Pete] That's highly unlikely.

Where's, uh...

Where's Taylor?

Uh, he'll be here soon.

I'm sorry, honey.

What did you say your name was?

Gina. I'm Marius' girlfriend.

Nice to meet you.

If you'll excuse me,

I have to help Julia

in the kitchen.

[Maggie] Oh, hey, Dad. Hi.

Oh, hi, hon!

Marius, it's really a pleasure

to...

Oh!

[Marius] Yeah, he's a...

He's a hugger.

It was a problem

on the cell block.

Yeah...

Yeah, I imagine

it would've been.

Why don't I talk

to Maggie,

see what I can find out

about this storage place?

Pete might not even know

what's going on.

Like hell.

I bet their two friends

are in on it, too,

whatever it is.

Seriously?

Right now,

you see, I calmed down.

Take a deep breath,

or that...

Hey.

They here?

Yeah, they're with Grandpa.

You meet Josipovic yet?

Not yet.

What if he recognizes me

from the hotel?

He's the criminal here.

Do you think he k*lled Winslow?

That is not what I meant.

Come on.

When...

When, uh,

when Marius and I were...

were in the joint together,

I would tell him stories

about you guys

and this place...

- Yeah.

- And it always lifted

our spirits.

Yeah, it's true.

I mean, I almost feel like

you're my family.

[Audrey] Ha!

[Otto] Well,

any friend of my grandson's

is a friend of mine,

and now that you two are back,

I'd be happy to have

a family dinner every night.

- To family.

[Maggie] Oh, thanks, Dad.

- Oh.

- To family.

[all toasting]

[Julia] It's really nice of Pete

to take care of his cellmate

like this.

Yeah, yeah, very sweet.

Hey, Pete,

I thought you said

that your friend here

went to Ottawa.

Well, he's back now.

[laughs]

What are you,

gonna interrogate me now?

You can take

the cop out of the station...

[laughter]

Holy sh*t, Taylor,

you're a cop now?

[Pete] Huh.

- Now?

[Marius] He means now,

because in the stories I would

tell him, we were kids,

and I didn't want to tell him

you're a cop,

because I didn't want

to make him nervous.

But yes, Marius,

Taylor's a cop.

He's not gonna

arrest anybody, but yeah.

[Taylor] Not tonight,

at least,

but there is a New York

homicide detective

that would really like

to talk to Mr. Josipovic.

Hey, didn't your

probation officer

call you Josipovic

the other day?

A lot of questions.

You met Pete's

probation officer?

Uh, briefly, yeah.

It was a long story.

Yeah, no, that is

actually a funny story.

Um, we had a... a guard

when we were in together

who would call us

by our cellie's names

and it was one of these things

that would make us

feel unimportant,

or, you know...


[Julia] That's terrible.

- Yeah. It's like

the dehumanizing prison thing.

Wait, why would

your parole officer

know what some guard

called you in prison?

Well, that's what's funny,

because...

[Maggie] It's weird.

- No, listen to this.

My parole officer

is our guard's brother.

[laughter]

[Marius] No sh*t.

No, these guys are

really intense.

He make you squat and cough,

too?

Oh, God, Dad...

- I'm sorry.

- Grandpa.

Pete, I thought you used

Josipovic

as an alias

for your insurance work.

Yeah, I used a lot

of different aliases.

It's just what

came to my mind, you know?

It's probably from the guard.

Well, it seems dangerous,

exposing your friend like that.

I agree, I agree, I do,

especially considering

he didn't...

he didn't tell me

that he was gonna use

my name.

- But I did tell you, remember?

- No.

Yeah, I did,

right before I gave you

a cut of the money

that I made doing it.

No, but that was after

you already did it,

so I didn't really have

much of a choice...

Well, I'm not gonna

do it anymore.

- Good.

- I'm Pete Murphy

from here on out.

It's okay, it's okay.

Gina,

how did you...

How did you and Marius meet?

- Was it before or after?

- Yeah.

You know, actually,

it was during.

- Oh.

- Yeah, yeah,

I'm a literacy teacher

at the prison

and Marius

was one of my students.

It sounds creepy, but it's...

He understood Shakespeare

better than any student

I've ever taught.

- Wow.

- Yeah, yeah.

Just listening to him

read the sonnets,

I fell in love.

Huh, wow.

Yeah, I guess some women

just have a thing for criminals.

I think it's romantic.

Yeah, it reminds me

of, uh, Lila and Danny.

No, no, no, Mom and Dad met

when she gave him a concussion.

So, yeah, that's right.

It's a little bit dangerous

and romantic,

[Maggie] It's like

Romeo and Juliet.

No, no, no, no,

it's more like

"Tenspeed and Brown Shoe."

[Maggie] [laughs]

Hey, Aunt Maggie?

I was wondering if maybe,

after this,

we could try another reading,

maybe try to talk to Mom?

Yeah, for sure, of course.

Of course.

[Pete] Oh...

[Pete] Hey, wait a second.

You came... You were...

You came in the motel room

the... the... yeah...

That's the one that...

Remember I told you,

someone brought pizza.

That's because,

when you came here that night,

and you were thinking

about using again,

Carly, uh, saw us

and she followed us

back to the motel.

Isn't that right, Carly?

- Yeah.

- What do you mean, "using"?

[Pete] Pete.. Pete...

He didn't tell you?

I'm a drug addict.

He's an ex-drug addict.

He's in recovery right now.

Active drug addict.

My name's

Marius Josipovic,

and I'm a con man.

I'm the lowest of the low.

I think that murderers

are better than me,

because what I do

is I go in

and I lie to people.

I steal their families.

[Marius] Let's not make this

a meeting right now.

Let's not make this

a meeting.

[Maggie] We all make mistakes.

We do.

But, you know,

the important thing

is we learn from them

and we move on.

[Maggie] Right?

[Gina] Right.

For some of us, uh,

mistakes are a pattern

we choose to repeat.

What? What does that mean?

It means I know about

the storage facility!

What storage facility?

- Carly, go upstairs.

- No, I'm not going anywhere.

- Go upstairs!

[Maggie] Don't talk to her

that way.

Don't yell at her.

She's not a child.

And you're not her mother!

Bad enough you fill her head

with nonsense

about talking to Lila.

Just because you

don't understand something

doesn't make it nonsense.

Pete held up a g*n range

while you robbed

Hall Street Storage

in Mount Vernon.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Wait, what?

What I don't understand,

or can't figure out,

is why you sent Julia there,

of all places, two days ago.

Maggie, is Julia in danger?

[laughs] What? No.

Julia had a problem

and I actually went

- to help her fix it. I was...

- It's okay.

They already know

about Valerie.

Okay.

I mean, I just was

trying to help Julia.

Oh, bullshit!

You two show up

out of the blue

- after all this time.

[Maggie] Oh, my God.

You're up to something.

[Maggie] I'm not up to anything.

[Marius] Grandma, Grandma.

We're here because...

because Grandpa had a stroke.

That was six months ago!

Stop treating us

like we're senile.

Tell me why

you're really here.

There's nothing to tell.

Tell me, now!

[Maggie] Mom,

look, there is nothing to tell.

Then get out of this house!

[sighs] Dad...

Maggie, I love you,

but if you can't tell us

what's going on,

you've got to leave.

Grandpa...

All right, all right, I'm out.

Let's go.

Yeah. Come on, Marius.

Come on.

- All right.

- Gotta go.

Sorry.

No, wait.

Aunt Maggie, wait.

Honey, it's okay.

We'll.. We'll contact

your mom some other time.

I promise.

You are such a bitch!

I just couldn't sit there

any longer

let them lie to my face.

Doesn't matter.

I'll find out

what they're up to.

We may have to

put a pin in that, Grandma.

We have some more

pressing issues to deal with.

Oh, God.

You didn't find the g*n?

No, I told you,

I found the g*n.

I couldn't find the grave.

g*n?

Grave?

Nothing about the great trick I

put together in no time at all?

Well, it was the best trick

I've ever seen in my life.

Oh, it was the best trick

you've ever seen in your life?

[Kent] He's right.

It's a good trick.

But what I don't understand

is how they f*ck Luka over

and keep the money

for themselves.

I'm more interested in

Excuse me, Marius,

but who are these people?

- Let me...

[Kent] Oh, he didn't tell you?

Well, Mr. Leon Porter, sir,

we're the FBI.

[suspenseful music]

Go away.

You gonna kick me

out of the house, too?

I'd like you to take a ride

with me.

I need your help

with something.

No, thank you.

It's not a request.

[Greer] There's one

for each of you.

Everything you've ever been

even suspected of doing

since you were 18 years old.

Every con, every hack,

every safe cracked,

every five-finger discount,

every drug pushed

on the reserve,

every house robbed.

[Kent] And we don't need

a file for you,

because Marius switched

your records,

so you go to prison,

no matter what.

What the f*ck...

And Frank Hooper...

that isn't your real name,

is it?

[Kent] You're Luka's guy.

- Luka who?

[Greer] But that's all history.

The fun part is the future.

That's what brings us things

we can charge you with now.

We either have

a fingerprint,

surveillance video,

or snitch willing

to testify against you.

Everything from obstruction

to conspiracy.

In the case of

Margaret Ruth Bernhardt,

given her participation

in a robbery

that left four people dead,

it's the brass ring.

m*rder in the first.

[Kent] The choice is simple,

people.

You cooperate

and help us take down Luka,

or you go to jail.

You... You know

what you're doing?

You know what we call it

in the confidence world?

It's called an urban cowboy.

It's all hat and no cattle.

You have nothing,

so you're trying to

intimidate us

with all this razzle-dazzle.

I'll give you

some razzle-dazzle.

If you had anything,

you would charge us,

and you would

suspend prosecution

pending cooperation.

So here's what we're gonna do.

We'll do our job,

you do your job,

and we'll see who wins.

How about we just tell Luka

how you're planning to

f*ck him over?

You all go to the tub,

snap, crackle, pop.

You don't think Luka

already knows

that we might rip him off?

He's got a guy right here.

He's watching us.

Frankly, I'm insulted

that you think

we would fold so easily.

So if you have nothing else,

we're gonna get back to work.

Well, it seems Marius has

made the choice for all of you.

Hope you're all prepared

to live with the consequences.

So, Marius.

Now, I'm curious.

Uh, just when did the presence

of the FBI

slip your mind?

I was going to tell you

about the FBI.

When? When we're just about

to go to trial?

They don't have anything.

- They don't?

- No.

Uh, let's see what Luka

has to say about that.

Luka already knows

that they're watching.

Oh, he knows,

but we don't?

- Well, you do now.

[Porter] Oh, I do now?

- Yeah.

- Let's go.

[Marius] Oh, for Christ's sake.

[Porter]Wait a minute.

Wait, wait,

where you going, man?

[Audrey] It's good you aren't

speaking to me.

That way, I can talk,

and you can listen.

Your aunt was right

about one thing.

You're not a child anymore.

It's time you knew

why my relationship with Maggie

is what it is.

A few years after

Pete's father d*ed,

your aunt took up

with a guy named Derek.

He was a crook she had met

through our family business.

When Derek went to jail

on a rather large charge,

your aunt Maggie bailed him out

without collateral

and without asking us,

ran with him to California,

dragging little Pete

along with her.

The cops caught up with them,

Derek went to prison, and

Maggie never forgave me.

So, why am I here?

Your money's in trouble.

How's that?

To take care of it,

I made a deal with Luis Mercado

to run it through

his legit businesses.

In exchange, I had to use

some of it

to bond someone out for him.

Now, he's trying to k*ll her.

I don't see how that

affects my money.

Now, you get the bond back,

whether she's dead or alive.

How...

How do you know that?

Well, the way I see it,

it's a win-win-win.

Let Luis have Valerie,

I get my money laundered,

and you no longer

have to be my launderer.

What do you care

about Valerie, anyway?

She's a criminal.

[foreboding music]

And I'm a bail bondswoman,

not an executioner.

Uh, technically,

you'd just be the guard

walking her to the execution.

Nobody blames that guy.

All I need is a location.

And if I say no?

Then you're the only one

who loses.

What are you gonna do, k*ll me?

thr*aten my kids?

Whoa...

I would never do that.

But that young guy,

Colin, or whatever

his name is,

real go-getter.

I thought it was the 50 grand

I got on Valerie's head,

but there's something else

driving him.

It's like it's personal.

You should see what

he did to my man Omar.

Who knows what he might

do to you?

So...

Just tell me where Valerie is,

I call off the kid.

Don't tell me

I'll call junior hitman

so the CO2 cartridges

fill ribs that are in the sheet

the shape of the buffalo

uh, and then the...

the sheet deflates when

someone pulls on it.

How buffalo gets out of casino?

You gonna tell him now?

Or should I?

Tell me what?

Well, there's a little bit

Ha, "bump."

[Marius] It's the, um...

It's the FBI.

f*cking FBI.

Not new.

Well, I know FBI.

This is different.

[Frank] To make the buffalo

disappear,

Marius had to make

a loud noise to distract us.

To get the FBI's head to swivel,

take a nuclear blast.

Well...

I fool big organization before.

I fool four to get

15 million out of Yugoslavia.

That's Albanians,

Italians, Serbians,

and Montenegrins.

All due respect, Luka,

this is the FBI,

not some Balkan government

in the middle of a w*r.

[speaking native language]

Not government.

Mafia.

Very sophisticated.

United Nations send

15 million to Balkan

to buy medicines during w*r.

Money intercepted

by general.

Goran Bobetchko.

[speaking native language]

This is a bad man.

But it's too much money

for Bobetchko to sneak out

by himself, so

he needs partners.

Here is plan:

Albanian mafia get money

to coast.

Montenegrin mafia

sail money from coast to Italy.

Only, here is problem.

Montenegrins,

they don't have a boat,

but they know me,

so we load money

onto Papa's squid boat,

and Bobetchko

sail off to Italy with me.

[laughs] We land

and I run into town

to buy food and wine,

you know, to celebrate,

and I keep going.

Bobetchko go to look for money

on Papa's squid boat.

Oh! No money!

[laughs]

Money on other boat.

Luka's boat,

heading to New York City.

I was own decoy.

Do same here.

FBI want me.

FBI think I have money,

they will follow.

So you lead the FBI away

while Marius steals the buffalo.

Well, we do have

a second buffalo, which is good.

We would need a...

A second build.

We only have, uh,

three nights to be ready.

Why then?

There's a woman at the casino.

She works there,

she knows me.

We have to go

on her days off.

It's doable.

I think it's doable.
