(reels whirring)
(logo whooshing)
(customer chattering)
(upbeat music)
I could k*ll this guy.
He's gunning for partner
and now he's micromanaging
every little thing that I do.
Like seriously, I've been there
for almost as long as he has,
and now it's like he's mansplaining.
And don't even get me
started on the partners.
God, the partners, you know,
they try to pretend like,
and to guide the next
generation of lawyers,
it's bullshit.
In actuality, they're only there
to secure their own seats at the table
and make sure that the rest of us scramble
for whatever crumbs are left.
You know, do you think
that they would ever
let someone like me get
ahead without a fight?
No.
No chance.
If you don't play nice,
if you don't smile at the right people,
if you question the wrong decision,
all of a sudden you're a problem,
a liability.
Vince,
did you hear
anything I just said?
Yeah, no, I hear you.
Checking the scores again.
No, sorry, just reading an email.
I'm sorry, sir,
but there seems to be a
problem with the card.
Here, take mine.
Are you joking?
You can't even pay for dinner now.
What the f*ck are you
doing with your money?
Spending it on you mostly.
Oh.
Oh, sorry, it's been slow.
So what?
What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna go back
to making YouTube videos
or bar tending?
It's so juvenile.
Why not?
I had fun, met some interesting people.
Isn't that how you picked me up?
Maybe I'll get lucky again.
Jesus, Vincent,
grow up.
(audience cheering)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
I don't even know why we're here.
We've done this all before.
[Mr. Drake] You signed
the document, didn't you?
[Lawyer] Objection.
Counsel is badgering the witness.
[Witness] I've already answered that.
[Mr. Drake] So you are either
incompetent or complicit,
which is it?
[Lawyer] Objection, Mr.
Drake, you are way out of line.
I'm done.
I don't need to sit here and be insulted.
This isn't questioning.
This is harassment.
[Lawyer] Oh, come on.
You can't just leave.
[Mr. Drake] You're only
making yourself look worse.
[Lawyer] We're
suspending the deposition.
[Mr. Drake] No, we're not.
This is my deposition.
We're still on the record.
(dramatic music)
Mr. Shaw, for the record,
can you confirm your intentions today?
I'm here to reaffirm my wishes
regarding ownership of my bar
and to read my updated
will into the record.
[Mr. Drake] So you're
revoking the previous version?
That's correct.
[Mr. Drake] And you made this change
of your own free will.
No one pressured you?
No one pressured me.
It was entirely my own decision.
(dramatic music)
(car honking)
Hi.
Hi.
Can I see Mr. Drake please?
And this is regarding?
Tell him it's Vincent Hayes.
I have a thumb drive for him.
Sure.
Mr. Drake,
someone's here to see you.
Mr. Hayes.
He has a thumb drive he says.
Okay.
He'll be right with you.
Great, thanks.
Hello, Mr. Hayes.
Thanks for bringing the video in person.
Yeah, no problem.
I have a couple of invoices
that were never paid.
Oh.
Okay, well, you can
just drop those invoices
with Grace here at the desk,
and yeah, she'll be sure
they get to the right place.
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't let you
have this until I get paid.
Mr. Hayes, that is not
how we do business here.
Those invoices need to go
through the proper channels.
You have three outstanding invoices.
A couple of them are almost a year old.
I'm not giving you this video
until I get paid for all three jobs.
(phone rings)
Mr. Hayes,
are you sure you wanna
go about things this way?
We have other videographers we can use.
(dramatic music)
Mr. Hayes, we need that video.
Do not walk away with that video.
Nope.
Wait.
Grace, please bring me my checkbook.
It's on top of my desk.
Of course.
(dramatic music)
(phone rings)
[Mike] Hey, man, we need video
for a deposition on Monday.
Can you cover for us?
Yeah, yeah, just send me
the info, I'll be there.
[Mike] Alright, great, will do.
Thanks, Vince.
Hey, do you remember a Connor
Drake from Cook and Moore?
[Mike] Yeah, of course.
He's a piece of work, isn't he?
[Mike] Well, he's always
liked to pay, that's for sure.
Tell me about it.
You remember a depo I
shot for him last year?
Julian Shaw was the name of the deponent.
You guys sent the court reporter?
[Mike] Yeah, that guy's dead.
What guy?
[Mike] The opponent.
I heard it was some kind of
home invasion gone wrong.
Then his house caught on fire.
No sh*t.
[Mike] Yeah, man.
It made the local news.
Hey, Mike, could you guys
send the same stenographer on Monday?
The one from Connor Drake's deposition?
[Mike] Oh yeah, Harper. She's cute.
Hey, aren't you still seeing Tessa though?
You know you're not supposed
to f*ck the attorneys.
I think it's supposed to
be the other way around.
Okay, thanks. Bye.
Hi, Vincent.
Hi, Mr. Reed.
I sent you a couple emails,
left you a notice too.
Not sure if you saw it,
but you're a couple of
months behind again,
and it's getting late again this month.
I really hate to do this.
No, I know, I know.
I should have the money
by the end of the week.
Vincent.
It's the 23rd.
It's almost next month.
That would make it three months rent due.
You have to pay now.
I know, I will.
I can only warn you so many times.
I know you'll have the money, I promise.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(audience cheering)
(announcer faintly speaking)
(lively music)
(audience cheering)
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic upbeat music continues)
(playful music)
Hey, Vincent.
Oh, hey, Harper.
I'm almost finished setting up.
Okay, where do you want me?
Well, the witness will be here
so you can take either side.
Gotcha, I'll take this side.
[Lawyer] So to clarify your testimony,
you're saying the defendant
removed those contracts
from the office and then use them
to benefit himself in
a separate transaction.
Look at the video.
We set up a bunch of tiny
cameras to catch him in the act.
It's all there.
Objection.
You can continue.
Again, it's all there.
It's in the video.
We caught him stealing.
Just look at the video.
Hey, Harper,
you're still doing work
for Connor Drake, right?
Oh yeah, he keeps me busy.
End of last year, we did a depo for him.
The deponent owned a
bar that was in dispute.
It was a divorce settlement.
It wasn't a divorce settlement.
Yeah, Shaw v. Shaw.
I just turned in the video.
Yeah, that's because you
weren't paying attention
as usual.
You don't have to.
I was taking the deposition, I have to.
It was Mr. Shaw, the
defendant versus his nephew,
another Shaw, the plaintiff.
Oh, well, there was
something funny about it.
What else do you remember?
I mean, the name of the
bar was kind of funny.
The Last Call.
Yeah, The Last Call, that's right.
Well, he changed his will, right?
That's why he was being sued.
Yeah, I think so.
Did you hear he just died?
Yeah, I think I saw
something about that.
Well, that's kind of weird, isn't it?
I mean, he changes his will
and six months later he dies.
Weird.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm just getting started in this business
and from what I hear,
weird doesn't even begin to describe it.
Well, I'll see at the next depo.
(dramatic upbeat music)
(dramatic tense music)
Can I have a beer, please?
Want a glass?
No thanks.
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Did you ever meet the owner
of the bar, Julian Shaw?
I should say so I married him.
Oh, I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry for your loss.
Thanks.
It's funny,
thought I knew everybody that knew Julian.
Oh, I didn't.
I just heard the news.
Okay.
So you work the bar now?
Yeah. Been working it
longer than I care to admit.
Right.
I heard he changed his will recently.
Who the hell are you?
Why is Julian's will any of your business?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.
I was just passing by.
Wanted a beer, just making conversation.
No offense.
Well, go ahead and finish your beer
so you can move along, big spin.
Roy, can you please take out the trash?
Really start to stink back there.
[Costumer] Yeah, (faintly speaking)
(dramatic music)
Tell me more about Moldova.
It has an arc to triumph.
You're kidding.
Like the one in Paris?
Like the one in Paris.
A little smaller, but just the same.
And the wines there,
they're just great.
It's better than California
and so much cheaper.
I would love to try that wine.
Here's the thing,
you could live like royalty
there with just enough money.
Drink all the wine you want.
Hell, you could even own the vineyard.
Well, it's the most
stable region in the world.
Who cares as long as
you're living the good life.
I think I know someone
who can help us with that.
I think it's time we did
more than just talk about it.
This guy is open-minded and smart.
I have an idea and he will listen.
I mean, look at you,
working all day in for what?
Peanuts,
while he sits around
without a care in the world.
It's not fair, Olivia.
It's not right.
You deserve better.
Olivia, we could live in castle.
So you met Julian.
Uh-huh.
Bullshit!
No one's seen Julian in over 30 years
except for Ms. Queen back there.
I was his best friend,
and I haven't seen him
in God knows how long.
Why? What do you mean?
Maybe it was the accident.
Left him with this nasty
scar right above his eye,
scarred for life.
You'd think that'd be enough?
But he was ashamed.
Ashamed of his sin.
So he decided to disappear.
Young love.
But who out there without sin?
Are you? (Laughs)
I don't think so.
So he hid away.
Became paranoid, holed up in the woods.
If it wasn't for Olive,
I don't know how he would even survived.
But he's kept the bar all these years.
The bar's been in his
family for generations.
Olive takes care of it now.
What else do you know
about the accident?
Everything.
I was driving.
No one's seen Julie in over 30 years
except for Ms. Queen back there.
[Lawyer] Look at the video.
It's in the video.
Just look at the video.
(dramatic tense music)
[Mike] I heard it was some kind
of home invasion gone wrong.
Then his house caught on fire.
[Roy] Left and with this
nasty scar right above his eye.
Scarred for life.
(dramatic tense music)
Mr. Shaw, please read the
statement as it is written.
I, Julian Shaw of sound, mind, and body
hereby declare this to be
my last will and testament,
appointing my wife Olivia Shaw
as the executor of this will.
Upon my death,
I bequeathed to my
beloved wife, Olivia Shaw
all my right, title, and interest
in the business known as The Last Call.
(suspenseful music)
It is my express wish
that Olivia continues
the operation of the bar as she sees fit
or sell it if she so chooses,
should she choose to sell the business,
all proceeds from the
sale will belong to her
without restrictions and are
hers to do as she wishes.
(suspenseful music)
(doorbell rings)
(suspenseful music)
Vincent, what the f*ck are you doing?
It's past midnight.
(dramatic music)
Vince, what is going on?
They k*lled him.
What?
k*lled who?
Julian Shaw.
The real Julian Shaw.
The one I videoed is an imposter.
Okay, you're not making any sense.
I do not know what you're talking about.
Tessa, I need to tell you something.
Something big,
something bad.
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music continues)
From our favorite place.
I'm not hungry.
You should eat.
You never know when it's time.
Time for what?
You shouldn't have f*cked her.
She was 15, Julian.
All of that was a long
time ago, I served my time.
I've been living in my
own prison, you know that?
Yeah, but I've been the one working
the bar day in and day out.
Least thing you could do is let me have it
and put it in my name.
I can't do that.
It's been in the family a hundred years.
My brother's kids next.
You know there's nothing I can do.
Well, we'll see about that.
(suspenseful music)
Who's this?
A friend.
Olive, wait, no.
(suspenseful music)
(crow cawing)
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic music)
(car engine roaring)
[Tessa] So you think
there was no break in?
I think Olivia resented Julian,
took matters into her own hands.
Look,
Roy said that during the accident,
Julian had the girl on his
lap in the passenger seat,
no seat belts.
They hit black ice,
slid off the road straight into a tree.
Both of them smashed their
heads against the windshield
and cracked their heads wide open.
And the girl bolted
before the cops came.
How did Olivia find out
that she was underage?
The girl was local.
Word got around about the crash.
Olivia put two and two together.
Julian fessed up.
And that's when Olivia
started running the bar.
Yeah.
Guess she's had enough of that deal.
Vince,
that lot is worth a fortune.
The whole area's booming.
It's prime real estate.
What lot?
Well, the whole thing.
The bar and the parking
lot, Julian owns both.
There's gotta be a ton of developers
dying to buy this place.
That's what they're doing.
They're selling it.
And Julian would never sell it.
It was meant to stay in the family
and go to his nephew in Providence.
Those guys are ballsy.
Wow.
What a bold move.
To fake a will and video it.
I mean, why not?
Nobody's seen Julian in years.
He was a ghost.
He probably didn't even
have a license anymore.
I probably already have a deal in place.
It all makes sense.
Drake's a scumbag,
word on the street as he's on
the verge of being disbarred.
He's got nothing to lose.
He is shady.
Exactly.
You know, he's the type of attorney
that give the rest of us a funny.
So what do you think we should do?
Call the police?
I think
that we
might have an opportunity to
negotiate here.
You're joking, right?
I am as serious as a heart attack.
Tess,
we can't do that.
You need the money.
Not like this.
There's other ways of getting it.
Not this much.
Not this fast.
Vince,
you need this.
I need this?
Yeah.
It's payback.
I can use the money.
Atta boy.
No time for cuddling?
Yeah, no.
I told her I was staying
at Jason's for the night.
Had too much to drink,
couldn't drive home.
He said he'd cover for me.
But I don't wanna push my luck.
I gotta get home and take
the kids to school anyway.
Right, we wouldn't want
her getting any ideas.
Yeah, that would not be good.
Of course, not.
I'm doing the best I can.
The best?
For who?
You're sneaking outta
here like some thief.
Laura, please.
Can you just gimme some more
time to figure this out?
More time?
I am so sick of waiting
for you to grow a spine
and actually do something about it.
You know, I think it's about time
that someone lets Mrs. Shaw in
on our little secret.
Or what are you saying?
You don't mean that do you?
What are you so scared of?
Everything.
My kids.
The fallout.
The fallout?
You are already in the middle of it, Owen.
You're lying to everyone around you.
You're lying to me.
To her.
You are probably even lying to yourself.
Laura, we've talked about this.
I can't just...
Leave her.
That's what you keep saying.
But you're not happy there.
You've told me a million times.
So why not leave?
Because things aren't
as simple as you think.
What about me, Owen?
Don't I matter?
Don't we matter?
You matter to me, you do.
But...
- But what?
You never actually do anything about it.
You come here, we have sex,
and then you're gone.
Every time,
you always say you wanna help me,
you can at least...
What do you mean?
You know what I mean, Owen?
This place is tiny
and my bills keep piling up.
You always talk about
how you wanna be with me
and how you take care of me.
Well, when are you gonna start doing that?
Laura, I can't do this.
Look,
I'm not asking for a lot, okay?
I just need to know that
you're serious about this,
about us.
I need something more, okay?
I need something real.
Look, I...
I'm not asking for you
to blow up your whole life tonight.
I'm just asking for you to prove to me
that I'm more than just
your late night secret.
Laura,
I hear you.
And maybe I can do a
little better around here,
and I do care about you.
Okay?
Maybe it is time we move
you out of this place.
Bye, Laura.
Bye, Owen.
Sorry to rush out on you like this.
But I have a meeting.
You can let yourself out.
You know where everything is.
Just be sure to lock up.
(phone rings)
Connor Drake.
Hi, it's Tessa Morgan
with Gomez and Berkeley.
No, I'm calling on my own behalf.
I was hoping we could set up a meeting.
It's about the property
in the Seaport district,
The Last Call.
No, like I said,
I'm calling on my own behalf.
Well,
certain information
has come to light
that I would like to discuss in person.
I'm not implying anything,
nor am I trying to jeopardize your deal
in any way, shape, or form.
On the contrary,
I'm calling because I'd like to
join in.
Let me think it over,
I'll have to call you back.
God!
Damn it!
(car honking)
So what's the news?
Well, it's good news,
but also a bit of a setback.
Go ahead,
give it to me.
Well, first off, let me
just say where looking good
and everything seems to
be falling into place.
I got a call from the
nephew, Owen this morning.
Looks like he's willing to play ball now.
Yeah, I think he's going
through some personal stuff
and he will drop the suit
in exchange for some cash.
Good. He doesn't even
care about the bar.
He's doing God knows what in Providence.
Probably wouldn't want
the headaches anyway.
Exactly.
Which is why I knew this would happen.
And I told the developers
it was going to happen.
Anyway, they're excited.
Ready to close on Friday.
How much is he asking for?
500,000,
but it has to be cash.
No check or anything that
can be traced back to him.
It's coming out of our end.
I've been working my
a*s off for 30 years.
This kid's never even set foot in the bar.
Yeah, Olivia,
we're getting nearly $8 million.
That's a good chunk of money.
500,000 is a drop in the bucket.
Okay, make the deal.
Now what's the setback?
This you're not gonna like.
So somehow someone
found out about our plan
and is shaking us down.
Wants in.
Who?
How?
I don't know, some smart a*s lawyer.
She wants to set up a meeting
to discuss terms I'm sure.
Jesus Christ.
I'm unlike the Federal Reserve.
Everybody's taken from me.
Can you take care of it?
Well, I think we should meet with her.
See if she's reasonable.
But.
I will have a contingency plan.
Okay.
(dramatic music)
Where are my freaking keys?
(dramatic music)
Oh, gotcha.
(suspenseful music)
Moldova.
Moldova.
Moldova. (Laughs)
(car honks)
Hey, Roy.
Hello.
I'm sorry, I forgot your name.
Vincent.
Vincent.
Want a beer?
No, coffee actually.
It's been sitting
around a while, you mind?
No.
I see you guys have surveillance.
Yeah, they're disconnected. (Laughs)
Been like that a while.
Mostly for show, you know,
keep the building inspectors happy though.
Thank you.
Roy.
Not to butt in too much,
but after the story you told me,
I really feel for Olivia.
I mean she must be pretty lonely,
you know, if she has any close friends,
maybe a gentleman friend,
you know what I mean?
Well,
there was a guy a while back.
We all thought something
was gonna happen there,
but he disappeared.
No one ever saw him again.
They say he moved outta town.
Now come on honey.
Your money's no good here.
Thanks, Roy.
All right.
Roy,
if I show you something,
can it stay between the two of us?
I don't wanna upset Olivia
with everything she's got going on.
Yeah, of course.
What do you got?
Is that the guy?
Well, yeah, how do you,
how do you know him?
He was in a video I shot.
What do you know, the
guy's famous. (Laughs)
Yeah.
What do you know.
(dramatic tense music)
It's me, Connor.
How's Olivia?
She's good.
I miss her.
She asked about me?
All the time.
In fact, she checked in with me,
made sure I got you food.
Glad to hear someone's
looking out for me.
So what's it like,
I mean living with no (chuckles) text,
no emails.
I'm actually liking it.
Been reading a lot lately
without interruption.
It's weird to be this free again.
It's refreshing.
Kind of how things were meant to be.
I know you're not just
here for a delivery.
Come on, spill it.
What's happening out there?
Well, things are still okay,
on one side, the developers are excited
and ready to close.
They've been waiting for
this for a long time.
I know it.
They own everything
around that freaking bar.
That's why I pitched you the idea.
I knew they'd be eager.
Yeah, but there's a new complication.
Something I didn't see coming,
and I may need your help.
(suspenseful music)
That's great.
Now we know Olivia's
connection to the imposter.
A love interest.
Local.
You would've video of them together,
but the surveillance system is down.
How much you gonna ask for?
I mean, with everything that we know.
I'm thinking a million.
That's a lot of money.
Yeah, well, they'll have to pay it,
or we can put them in jail.
I still don't like this.
(phone rings)
Yes.
Okay, no problem, I understand.
Okay, that works for me, I'll be there.
They wanted me at the
bar tomorrow morning.
Don't worry,
I'll leave you out of it like I promised.
You sure you know what you're doing?
I'll come prepared.
And I should get back to the office.
I'll see you later.
(dramatic music)
Hey, Vince.
Kyle?
Yeah, hey man, what's up?
What are you up to?
Still freelancing?
Yeah, yeah, still freelancing.
You were doing grip work, right?
Yeah, actually I moved
up to the props department.
Oh, you working?
Yeah, as a matter of fact,
we're on a sh**t right now.
We've got a bunch of crap in this bag.
Gold bars, breakaway glass, body parts,
this action centers are keeping us busy.
How about you?
Still out your YouTube channel?
Nah, didn't stick.
Doing legal videography now.
Ah, it's too bad because I
actually loved your channel.
Learned a bunch about
cameras and new gear.
It was kind of dope.
Yeah, kind of into that stuff.
- Kyle.
- Ah, sorry, Vince.
I gotta go.
Gimme a call sometime, okay?
We'll get together, alright?
Yeah, alright. Sounds good man.
Later.
- Later man.
(sirens wailing)
(cars honking)
Nice.
Ms. Morgan.
This is Olivia Shaw.
She owns the bar.
Right.
We wanted to hear you out first.
See what you have to say.
It's quite simple,
and I'm not here to pass any judgment,
just wanna let you know what I know
so we can cut to the chase.
I know that the gentleman
in the deposition video
is not Julian Shaw.
And I also know that you forged the will.
We're not admitting to anything here,
and we don't know what is the
basis for these accusations.
I have plenty of proof.
Again, not admitting anything here,
but what is it that you want?
One million.
And
does anyone else know about this?
No.
This is my deal.
What was that?
Oh, nothing.
Sorry, I forgot I needed to text somebody.
I don't know what you're
trying to pull here,
but if you're not going to
take me seriously, I can leave.
There are plenty of people
who would like to hear what I have to say.
(suspenseful music)
(g*n shots)
You are gonna need a lawyer.
I've handled real estate
transactions before,
and my fee just went up.
(dramatic music)
(sirens wailing)
Ma'am, are you Olivia Shaw?
I'm Olivia.
I own the place.
Detective West Turner.
Police were just here.
I know, I'm with homicide.
Did you know the victim?
Connor Drake.
He was, he, he was someone I knew.
Can you gimme a short recap?
We were having a business meeting,
and
somebody broke in
and a guy was wearing a ski mask.
Connor charged him.
Guy panicked.
Shot him in the chest.
I hid behind the counter
fearing for my life
and the guy run away.
You have video, right?
We can check your footage.
No, no video's out.
We just need to hook it up properly,
so you couldn't see his face.
You have no video.
Is anyone else here?
No, just me and Mr. Drake.
So all we have is your word.
Look, I don't know what to tell you,
but that's what happened.
I know how it looks
detective, but it's the truth.
Connor Drake was trying to help me.
Now he's dead.
And I didn't ask for any of this.
Relax Olivia,
I'm just trying to get the facts.
Just so you know.
We did get an account
from one of your neighbors
saying they saw somebody
wearing a ski mask coming into the bar.
So that checks out, okay?
Just a few more questions,
and I'll be outta your hair.
I had to do it Vince.
It was self-defense.
They were gonna sh**t
me right then and there.
Where's the g*n?
I got rid of it.
But like you said,
there is no video surveillance.
So I am safe.
Now they have no choice but to use me.
This is not good, Tess.
It's more money.
Yeah, more trouble.
That 150K is going to set you up good.
This is,
you kind of need this.
150K?
Yeah, your finder's fee.
That's the usual agreement, 10%.
I'm getting a finder's fee.
Well,
yeah,
I'm doing all of the work.
Sure, you brought me the case,
but I'm the only one with the skills
to actually make it happen.
You're right.
(dramatic music)
(doorknob rattles)
Hey, Vincent, I guess
you finally got my message.
You changed the locks.
You're behind in rent, three months.
Alright, I got some money
coming a week or two tops.
Okay, great.
You can get back in the
apartment when you get the money.
Look, you can't do this.
Sue me.
Hey, Vince.
It's just a prop,
only shoots blanks.
I'm cleaning it.
Come in.
Sit, sit.
It's not much, but the couch is comfy.
And this will do.
Great.
It'll have to 'cause I'm
not sharing my bed with you.
Vince, are you gonna be okay?
Oh yeah, yeah.
It's just temporary.
I got something lined up.
Well, like I said on the phone,
I'm happy to help,
but my girlfriend comes back
from her trip in a couple days,
so we may have to deal with her.
No, no, I get it.
I'll be outta here by then.
Yeah, I mean,
I'm sure she'll understand
if you've gotta stay longer,
but I'm just saying,
we may have to deal with her.
No, no, I get it.
Alright, bro.
Lemme know if you need anything.
We've got an early sh**t tomorrow,
so gonna get ready.
Just make yourself at home.
(referee whistles)
(dramatic music)
Oh.
I barely got away.
They grilled me for hours.
They're watching everything.
You shouldn't be here.
I know, I know.
It's not safe.
I know, but I had to see you.
This is insane.
What do we do now?
We can still do this.
You need to get the buyers on the phone.
Let them know you're more
motivated than ever to sell.
Get the paperwork to that crazy lawyer,
and see if we can still close on Friday.
We may have to leave
some money on the table.
That's okay.
We'll have plenty.
We need to close and get
the hell outta Dodge.
But what if they find us?
What if they dig deeper?
They won't,
not if we do this right.
Once we have the money,
we'll make one clean break.
We'll cut all our ties and
disappear without a trace.
Okay, I'll make the call.
I have to go, if anybody saw me here.
Go,
and be safe.
Be careful.
And Olivia,
we're almost there.
Just a couple more days.
And this will all be behind us.
(suspenseful music)
Black, right?
I guess you've heard about Connor Drake?
Yeah.
I need to tell you something about that.
Go on.
I wasn't completely
straight with you before
when you asked me about
Julian Shaw's deposition.
Alright.
It wasn't real.
It was a mock deposition.
It was staged.
I didn't even verify his ID,
and I don't think the opposing counsel
was an actual attorney.
How did you get involved in all of this?
I was seeing Connor.
It was all in active buyers
to make it look like the will was legit.
I didn't even know at first.
I just thought it was a practice run.
I mean, lawyers run
mock depos all the time,
but the more I saw Connor,
the more he let his guard down
and let me in on what he was doing.
Why are you telling me this now?
Well, Connor was involved
in a whole lot of stuff,
including the sale of The Last Call
and starting to feel like an accomplice.
There's something else
that's bothering me too.
He had a way with women,
you know, he was charming and smooth and.
I just, I have a feeling
that he was seeing someone else.
What do you know about Moldova?
- The country?
- Right.
In Eastern Europe, former Soviet Union.
Not much else.
Good.
And most importantly,
it has no extradition treaty with the US.
Huh?
Okay.
The last time I saw Connor,
I found a travel guide to Moldova,
and I just, I didn't really
think much of it back then.
But looking back,
after everything that's happened,
what if he or Shaw's wife
and whoever else were planning to flee.
If they leave the country,
then they'll never have to face trial.
No matter what charges come their way.
They're just, they're gone for good.
(dramatic music)
Vince,
I know this sounds funny but
it kills me to think
that he was maybe gonna
leave with another woman.
(dramatic music)
(door knocking)
Can I come in?
You could have called.
I'm working on the
paperwork we're the closing.
I have called,
several times.
I'm trying to finalize everything.
Owen and the nephew dropped this suit.
So the sale closes tomorrow.
Great.
When do I get my money?
It's not that simple, Vincent.
What's not that simple?
You close the deal.
They transfer the money.
We all get paid.
That's how this works, right?
Technically, yes, but...
But what?
But something came up, okay?
Owen needs the 500,000 in
cash as soon as we close.
So we're working on making that happen.
There could be a delay.
A delay?
How long?
I don't know,
but a couple days,
maybe a few weeks.
Weeks?
You said this would all
be wrapped up by tomorrow?
Yeah, and things change.
I'm doing the best I can,
when we have the money,
you will get it not before.
That's not good enough.
(laughs) Well, it's gonna have to be.
I don't like being jerked around, Tess.
Oh, poor Vincent.
Always the victim.
Are you holding out on me?
If you can't handle having
just a little bit of patience,
then maybe you should have
stayed out of the deal.
Just keep me posted.
I'll be waiting.
(dramatic music)
You can't get enough
of that coffee, huh?
It's an acquired taste.
(TV quietly prattling)
(suspenseful music)
We used to have a guy
come by check on things,
keep things up and running
including the video surveillance.
Yeah, not too hard if
you know what you're doing.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(camera clicks)
(TV quietly prattling)
(dramatic music)
(referee whistles)
(TV quietly prattling)
(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)
(dramatic music)
(TV quietly prattling)
(referee whistles)
(audience applauding)
(sirens wailing)
(dramatic music)
We just need your signature
on this final agreement, Mrs. Shaw.
Once that's done,
we can move forward with the transfer.
Alright.
And we'll need confirmation
that the funds are wired
by close of business today.
Of course, everything's in order.
Once the signatures are complete,
the wire will be initiated immediately.
So that's it.
We're done.
Not quite, one more
signature and it's over.
I didn't think this day would ever come.
Congratulations, ladies.
The sale is officially complete.
Pleasure doing business.
Same.
Pleasure.
(dramatic tense music)
500,000.
We're done, right?
Yeah.
We're done.
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(phone rings)
Harper, what is it?
I'm in the middle of something.
Vincent, I found something
an address at Connor's house,
heading right now to check it out.
I bet it's his mystery girlfriend.
He's got her set up in
some cozy little apartment
and planning to whisker away
with all his newfound fortune.
Unbelievable.
You don't know that.
Well, he never mentioned
he had another place to me.
Harper, you don't know who's there.
I, I do know who's there.
It's whoever he is
planning to go away with.
Harper, just listen to me.
I'll go with you.
Just wait for me.
I'm, I'm going, Vince.
Okay, I just need to talk to her.
I need to know,
I need to know why he picked her.
Harper,
I need to tell you something.
Can you just wait until
I'm finished with this?
I'll be fine.
I'll just check it out and
I'll let you know how it goes.
(dramatic tense music)
(sirens wailing)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
Step away from the car.
What the hell?
I said step away from the car right now.
Look, I don't know what this is,
but you don't want to do this.
Shut up. Don't move.
I'll take that pouch too.
Are you serious?
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(dramatic suspenseful music continues)
f*ck!
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(g*n fires)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
Who the f*ck are you?
(dramatic tense music)
(phone rings)
(door knocking)
There's three months
rent plus next month.
(dramatic tense music)
(door knocking)
(dramatic music)
Mr. Hayes.
Yeah.
Detective Wes Turner.
Mind if I come in?
What is this about?
Yeah, sure, come in.
Mind if I take a seat.
How can I help you, Detective?
We're afraid we've got
some bad news, Vincent.
You knew a woman by the
name of Harper Blake, correct?
Yeah.
Why? What happened?
She was m*rder*d.
What?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
(dramatic music)
How?
She was found in an apartment.
You don't know what she
was doing there yet?
Suspect fled the scene before we arrived.
Now here's where it gets complicated.
You were the last person she called
and the last to call her.
Well, I didn't,
I'm, I don't, I don't know anything.
The apartment she was found in
was registered to Connor Drake,
who was k*lled two days ago,
and what was initially ruled a break-in.
Now I'm starting to think that break-in
isn't as clean as it looked.
Harper's dead, Drake's dead.
And you.
Well, you seem to be in middle of it all.
So Vincent,
I'm gonna ask you again,
what's going on and what do you know?
Harper was seeing Drake.
She called me.
She said she found an address in his place
and she was going to check it out.
That's all I know, I swear.
Is it all, Vincent?
Because right now we're
putting pieces together,
that don't really add up.
So I'm gonna need you to be honest with me
before this gets worse.
That's all I know.
Really.
(phone rings)
This is Wes.
Oh!
Yeah.
I'm coming over.
Call me.
If you think of anything else.
Will do.
(dramatic music)
Wait, is that?
Oh no.
It's just a prop for a movie.
Huh.
It looks so real.
Yeah, you think I just have
it sitting around like that?
I guess not.
Alright, Vincent, I'll be in touch.
(dramatic tense music)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(dramatic tense music continues)
(door bell rings)
When are you meeting with Olivia?
Tomorrow, at the last call.
Her partner is on the loose.
He just k*lled Connor's girlfriend.
Wait, what?
How do you know that?
I just had a visit from the police.
I knew the girl.
I'm sorry.
How did you know her?
You're not getting it, Tessa.
He's out there armed, dangerous,
and he's tying up loose ends.
(dramatic tense music)
Really?
You need to be ready
for him or tomorrow.
Huh?
I see your point.
Keep it close.
(dramatic music)
Lady, you got your money's worth.
Like we're moving a lot of money around,
but everything should be cleared by Monday
or Tuesday at the latest.
I can't wait to get out of this place.
Leave this dump.
Oh, you'll be on your
merry way soon enough.
Morning, ladies.
f*ck.
Not you.
Wait, are you guys in this together?
Not really.
I can explain.
Vince, what the f*ck are you doing here?
Come to collect.
You know, we don't have the money yet.
Looks like you do.
Big plans, huh?
Vincent,
this isn't helping.
You know what? Nevermind.
I actually managed to get a
little bit of money on my own.
What did you do?
That Owen, I think he's got a little
something on the side,
if you know what I mean.
Is that Owen's money?
Did you take his money?
Yeah, now you know, I mean business.
I brought it here so you can see
exactly how far I'm willing to go,
and forget all that finder's fee bullshit.
I want half of what you're getting.
I will give Owen his money
back once I get my cut.
But if you don't pay me right now,
I'm calling him and telling
him everything I know.
You better take care of this.
Vincent, you will k*ll
the deal for everyone here,
including yourself.
I don't care anymore.
It's what I deserve.
Oh.
(dramatic music)
You think I won't do it?
(dramatic tense music)
Vincent, don't.
(dramatic tense music)
Vincent, put the phone down.
You're not gonna sh**t me.
(phone rings)
(dramatic tense music)
(g*n fires)
Lady, you got one at
your trigger finger.
How am I gonna explain this now?
This is the guy.
This is the guy who broke in.
But, but this time you were ready.
Here, take this.
I gotta go.
I gotta take the money back to Owen.
Look,
this is actually perfect.
Vincent was hard up for the money.
He was evicted from his apartment,
struggling with a gambling addiction.
You came in,
you caught him behind the bar,
taking cash outta the register.
He threatened you and
that is why you shot him.
Just call the cops as soon as I leave.
It'll hold up, I promise.
I gotta go.
(dramatic music)
Yeah, I don't think that's what
the video is gonna show.
Video?
What?
What video?
The video surveillance,
really didn't take much to fix it.
f*ck me.
You're both under arrest, fraud,
conspiracy,
and attempted m*rder.
Olivia, don't say a word.
You really thought
I'd give you a real g*n.
Look at you now.
All grown up.
I think we should start
seeing other people.
If you ever tell anyone,
I'll let you keep that money,
thinking it was a prop.
I'll lock you up,
just outta pure pride.
So the deal still stands?
Yeah, but don't forget,
you're few thousand dollars short.
I know, I'll make it up, don't worry.
Hey, what about the boyfriend?
Any leads there?
Nothing yet.
We're working on it.

[Narrator] Mating starts
with a rough peck on the cheek
and ends in a blink of an eye.
Seconds is all it takes.

She deposits her eggs and she's gone.
Never to return.
(bright music)
The artist remains with his
creation and his offspring.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(g*n fires)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
You took my girlfriend
and you put her away.
(dramatic tense music)
But you could be getting away.
Don't worry, I'll be getting away.
You're that f*cking video guy.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
For Christ sake!
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(dramatic suspenseful music continues)
(phone rings)
[Operator] 911, what is your emergency?
I've been shot.
[Operator] Alright, sir, stay calm.
What is your name?
Where are you located?
Vincent.
Vincent Hayes.
I'm at 57 Belmont Street, apartment two.
[Operator] Alright,
Vincent, help is on the way.
Are you still in any danger?
Is the person that shot you still there?
No, he's, he's dead,
I stabbed him.
Okay, stay with me.
How bad is the wound?
Where were you shot?
Chest,
shoulder.
I, I don't, I don't know.
[Operator] Alright, Vincent,
I need you to stay awake, alright?
Apply some pressure to
the wound if you can,
help is on the way.
Alright.
Just,
just, hurry, please.
[Reporter] Is just the
emotion, all of that,
that was swirling around
the fact that the partners
aren't playing together anymore.
Now they've settled in.
Time heals all wounds.
(dramatic music)
[Reporter] Yeah, because
the pressure of Atlanta was,
everyone was watching that.
So what the hell are
you watching anyway?
Pickleball.
Fastest growing sport in the US.
[Announcer] Attention there.
So it's hard to get away from it.
Hey, Roy.
- Hey.
- Can I have a beer?
Oh yeah, sure.
(TV quietly prattling)
There you go.
[Announcer] Backing in on the line.
And they do that as well as anybody.
So Owen's keeping the place, huh?
Yeah, for now.
But he is not sticking around.
He wants me to run it.
So Vince, you're going
back to the fancy video gig?
Nope.
Gonna sell all my equipment.
Well, we could use a hand back here.
(Roy laughs)
(TV announcer faintly speaking)
[Announcer] Absolutely.
(dramatic music)
I gotta go downstairs.
Get some more of that skunk beer.
Be right back.
[Announcer] I love it (faintly speaking)
(dramatic music)
- Hi.
- Hi.
You must be new here.
I'm Joyce.
Hi, Joyce.
Vincent.
What can I get for you?
Just a beer, please.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic tense music)
Oh no, Joyce, your money's no good here.
Thank you.
Both of them smashed their
heads against the windshield
and cracked their heads wide open.
Girl's local.
(dramatic music)
(TV quietly prattling)
Young love scarred for life.
Did I miss anything?
No.
(dramatic music)
You're good?
(dramatic music)
Yeah.
All good.
(dramatic tense music)
