03x05 - The Invisible Man

[bunniefuu]

Eat. I have to get you
to school.

- I have a meeting in the city.
- I don't like waffles anymore.

You just had them yesterday.

And the day before,
and the day before that.

Maybe that's why.

You ready?

Uh, uh, y... no, I'm not rea...

I'm not dressed,
Jacob's not dressed.

If I don't get Ellen
to school on time,

her teacher's gonna
put me in detention.

You, eat. You, watch her.

No, I don't really know...
With kids, I'm...

I'm not good with kids.

You want us
to get to the city on time?

Make that waffle disappear.

How you doing?

Good.

You, uh...
know any card tricks?

Where's Jacob's waffle?

Uh, she ate it.

- You ate both waffles?
- Yeah.

He bet me
I couldn't find the queen.

- You-you taught my kid...
- They're life skills.

Don't teach them these things.

I almost had him
on the last round.

- I'll get it.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You get your shoes on,
I'll get it.

- Do it again.
- Ace...

Ace... Red Queen.

Keep your eye on the Red Queen.

Are you kidding me?

How'd you do that?

- Well...
- Shoes.

Why is someone delivering
a package to you at my house?

It's Sy, he wants to know
if Hickey's on board.

How does he know we saw Hickey?
How does-how does he

-know where I live?
- It's Sy.

It's what he does.

Text back, "Hickey wants
$75 grand upfront."

Shoes!

He says...
the money's our problem.

- It's fine.
- How is that fine?

- We need $75,000.
- We'll get it from Kilbane.

What if Kilbane
won't give it to us?

What if-what if he thinks
you're trying to con him

-and run off with the money?
- You're gonna tell him I'm not.

If this get screwed up...

You're not gonna go to jail.

Okay?

See, it's-it's when you
say things like that...

that I worry.

♪ It's gettin' harder out here ♪

♪ I keep tryin'
to just make my way ♪

♪ It's not lyin' ♪

♪ I'm only tryin' ♪

♪ Just trust in me ♪

♪ Trust in me ♪

♪ Just trust in me ♪

♪ Trust in me ♪

♪ Just trust in me. ♪

Okay.

F... f*ck it.

No, no, no, no...

What the hell?

Christ, are we in that much
of a hurry?

Hey, have a, have a good day
at school, all right?

Thanks, Pete.

Yeah.

Hey, Carly, hang on.

- Sorry, I'll just be a sec.
- Is Carly okay?

- Just...
- Come on!

Don't freak out, okay?

That sounds ominous.

Mom's alive.

I-I think.

Grandpa Tex sold her car
and I'm holding

a bill of sale
with her signature on it.

So there, so there's, like,
there's evidence.

Wh-What?

She's alive.

So guess where I am.

Outside your fake family's
bail bond shop.

They're gonna wish
their grandson

never came back.

Grandma agreed to stay,

but she thinks that Tex is
making the whole thing up, so...

Well, it is, well,
you know, uh...

You can say it.
It... it's crazy.

It's insane.

Okay.

Can you come to California?

Oh, God.

Carly, I-I...

I could really use
the help with Grandma.

You know, I would, I mean,
I really want to,

I ju... m*therf*cker!

- What is it?
- Uh... Nothing.

Nothing, nothing, I just, um,
have all this stuff

and there's, like, the case
and the, the kids and...

It's our mom.

I'm sorry. I know, I know.

No.

No, it's fine,
Mom-Mom's back from the dead

and nobody gives a sh*t
but me, it's fine.

Carly...

You Julia Bowman?

Yeah.

Guy called,
said you needed a ride.

Hey, Grandpa.

Hey. I didn't know
you were in town.

Yeah, it's just, uh,

-a-a work thing.
- Uh-huh.

That insurance thing?

Uh, yeah, that's right.

Hey, uh, did-did anybody,
uh, come by this morning?

- A-Any walk-ins?
- Oh, no, no.

- It's been real quiet.
- Oh, good.

All right. I mean, not good,
but you know.

Yeah. How you doing?

I am making a fresh start.

I'm cleaning up.

Good, yeah, I can see
you made a lot of progress.

Uh-huh, yep.

Well... you are such a wiseass.

All right, I'll,
uh, I'll see you.

- Hey.
- Huh?

Are you all right?

- I'm good, yeah.
- You're all right?

- Yeah, no, I'm good. Yeah.
- Huh.

Because I-it looks like
you're being pulled

-three different ways at once.
- No, I'm being pulled

in two different directions
at once.

- It's... I'm fine.
- Get over here.

- It's good to see you.
- Get over here.

- You knucklehead. Give me a hug.
- Glad to see the business

is back on its feet.

Gee whillikers.

Well, on its knees, anyway.

What are we doing?
What the f*ck is this?

You seem a little worried
about your fake family

when you should be worried about
delivering on your promises

to Vignetti and Kilbane.

I'm doing everything
I said I'd do,

exactly the way
I said I'd do it.

Then why do I get a feeling
I need an insurance policy?

Because you're f*cking crazy;
this is f*cking crazy.

- Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
- Hurting these people is not

-gonna get you what you want.
- Why?

Because you care about them?

- Or because you don't?
- No.

Because I don't want you
screwing up the con

that I'm doing which is paying
for the con that we're doing.

See, the Marius Josipovic
I called,

he had rules about "people."

He believed that
people were to be

used and discarded.

He would have looked at
the picture I sent and laughed.

Okay, are we, are we doing the
con or were we f*cking around?

I want my Marius.

Well, then you have to trust me;
do you trust me?

- Just as much as you trust me.
- I'm glad we have

-an understanding.
- Okay.

Oh, my God, you're so beautiful.

Okay.

Walter. How's my favorite
crooked lawyer?

No, I don't need you to get me
out of anything,

in fact, I need you to get me
back into something.

Just a little sin I left behind.

I had them run the VIN number
on the bill of sale.

The title was signed over
to a woman

in Santa Barbara six years ago.

We'll go there next.

Well, what about the address
on the registration

o-or my mom's driver's license?

The address was Tex's address
and the license on record

was your mother's
Connecticut license from

right before she d*ed.

But her license was listed
in the sale?

Yes, but it doesn't
prove anything.

I mean, it proves a woman
bought a car from my mom.

It proves a woman bought a car.

Now, we're gonna go
to Santa Barbara,

we're gonna talk to the woman.

Her name is Francesca Newmar.

And we're going to be
professional.

We're gonna ask questions
without any emotion.

How can I not be emotional?

- This is emotional.
- Yes.

That's why I'm here.

What do you really think?

I'm trying not to.

Not until we get some facts
that we can trust.

Julia?

Julia?

I am so sorry.

Bagwell
and the pay stubs,

I don't want to bore you with
the details, but...

I panicked and I-I, and I just...
I took off.

I shouldn't have
done that, I, uh...

H-Here's your keys,
I'll never do that again.

Did you get the-the, the taxi?

You talk to Carly?

Carly...

Carly, Carly.

Yeah, I talked to Carly.

Carly...

Carly... Carly took off
on a plane

to California...

to track down Audrey's father
because she says

he saw our dead mother.

His name is Tex

and he says he sold a car
to my mother eight years ago.

Four years after we cremated her
body and scattered her ashes.

So now, Audrey is out there with
Carly trying to find my mother

and Carly wants me to come out
there too, because Audrey

doesn't actually that believe my
mother is alive, but I can't go

because I have to babysit you
if I don't want to go

to prison and have
my children hate me.

- What? Shut up. It's just...
- I didn't say anything.

- It's-it's not your problem.
- Okay, give it to me.

- Give it to me.
- Yeah, after I'm done.

- You don't want that. Come on.
- No, you're right, you know what?

I don't actually want this,
I want about eight lines

of cocaine, but I don't
do that anymore because

- I have responsibilities.
- That was a lot of information.

Okay, what-what...
what can I do?

You can convince a billionaire

to give us $75,000

so that we can finish this thing
with Sy f*cking Rubinek

and you can ride off
into the sunset.

Do you think she's alive?

How the hell
am I supposed to know?

We have our meeting
with Kilbane.

Bernhardt Bail Bonds.

No. No, no, you...
no, you dialed...

No, ma'am, you dialed
4-7-2-5. 2-5.

Yeah, no, we get that a lot.

Uh, I know.
I know, Miss. I know.

They make nice moo shu.
All right, okay.

Hey, Otto.

Lorraine.

Hey.

- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.

Better than it's been
in a long time.

I, um, got Natalie
checked into rehab this morning.

That's great.

I know it was awkward for you,

and I-I wanted to put
a nice end on things

and say thank you.

That's...

-that's, uh...
- Lorraine.

- Hey. Everything okay?
- Yeah.

- She made me a quiche.
- Yeah, I had time

after dropping off Natalie.

She went to rehab? That's great.

- How's your hand?
- Um, it's better.

Well, you should get Otto to
give you a piece of that quiche.

Yeah, if he's a good boy.

Uh, hi.

E-Excuse me.
We're looking for, um,

- Francesca Newmar.
- That's me. Why?

Well, did you purchase
a 1996 Buick LeSabre

several years ago?

I'm not answering any questions
until you tell me who you are.

Well, we're actually looking
for information

on the previous owner.

Lila?

Uh, uh, Lila Bowman.

Her-her family hired me
to locate her.

Are you in touch with her?

You're Audrey.

Her mother?

- You have her eyes.
- And I'm her daughter.

- Daughter?
- Do you know where she is?

- How we can find her?
- I want to help,

but I haven't seen her in years.

Is she in some sort of trouble?

We hope not.

Lila sold me the LeSabre,

but the engine block split
18 months after I bought it.

Well, how-how well
did you know Lila?

At the time?

We were friends.

She slept on my sofa, like,
every other weekend.

And how long ago was that?

2012?

She moved not long after
she sold me the car.

Have you seen her since?

Briefly, a couple of years ago.

A friend of mine told me
that she was in town,

she was dating some guy
from the polo club.

Not my crowd. Not hers either,

or so I thought.

She really never said
anything about me?

O-Or my sister or brother?
Uh, Julia and Taylor?

We didn't talk about our past.

- I got an idea.
- No.

No, no, no. If-if you could go
to California,

-would that help things?
- I can't.

But if you could?

Would-would you want to go?

Of course I would,
but I can't.

Okay, well,
maybe we can. I mean...

Stay out of my
family's business!

You're so angry.

Hi. We have a meeting
with Mr. Kilbane.

Stop it.

I just think you need
to be there for Carly.

You don't get
to think about Carly.

You can think about anything
else, puppies, clouds,

I don't give a sh*t.
I have kids...

- Who have a father.
- and a court case,

and you to watch out for while
we try to catch Sy Rubinek,

and Sy Rubinek is here,
not California.

- Okay, we're going to California.
- We're not going to California.

- We're going to California.
- You say California one more time...

- You can stay here, I'll go to California.
- I will rip your throat out.

How's the quiche?

If you want a piece, just ask.

I just want to know how it was.

Uh-huh.

The best.

You don't, you don't have
to hang around here all day.

I got to go
to the station anyway.

- Got to give a statement.
- What about?

The reason... ah.
The reason I'm on vacation.

I thought you were on vacation
'cause of your face.

How did you bust up your face?

It's not important.
It's not worth getting into.

Hi, I need to talk to someone
about getting a bail bond.

Well, that's what we do here.

May I ask who the bond is for?

It's for me.

Huh.

I'm going to turn myself in

and my lawyer said that
if I prearrange my bond,

I won't need to spend
the night in jail.

Uh...

C-Come on back and-and sit down.
Would you like some coffee?

- Taylor, get the lady some coffee.
- Yes. Thank you so much.

It's, um...

it's all been very, uh...

Uh, all right.

First things first.
What's your name?

Mary Elizabeth DeLaurentis.

And, um, what size bond
are we talking about?

$250,000.

Whoa.

What'd you do, rob a bank?

No, it was small, actually.

I was working with a family
and I stole a piece of jewelry.

Doesn't sound like
a $250,000 crime.

It was six years ago.

I was younger and dumber,

and bail was set for 2,000,
but I ran.

- Uh-oh.
- I was in a really dark place.

I was fighting with my parents,
and of course,

all they wanted
was the best for me.

You know,
girls and their mothers.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I-I get that.

I want to straighten
my life out.

I want them to know
that whatever happened,

they can be proud of me now.

I-I have collateral. It's...

this thing.

Oh...

"Vincenzo, with love,

- "Margaritte."
- My uncle.

It was a gift
from his third wife.

Um, would you, would you mind

-letting us, um...
- Oh, yeah, of course.

- Just...
- Of course.

- Huh.
- Her story checks out.

Mary Elizabeth DeLaurentis

jumped bail six years ago.

Do we really need business
this bad?

I don't see anybody
knocking down our doors,

and our end on this
would be 25 grand.

Yeah, but 250,000...
I mean, that's a lot to put up

-for a known flight risk.
- If it's too much money,

- I, um...
- No, no, it's-it's not the amount.

We should call Grandma.

I don't need to call
your grandmother.

Would you be willing
to wear an ankle monitor?

Yeah.

Yeah, bring it up.

So who do we talk to?

Manager?

Look to see if there's
a guest register,

someplace she might've
had to sign in.

Hey, Grandma. That guy.

I met him with Tex
at the wind farm.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Stay here.

Wait, no, I'm gonna
come with you.

He knows who you are.

I need to talk to him
before he figures out

we're connected to Tex.

I'll wave you in
if there's an opening.

Take the corkscrew
at Laguna Seca.

It's just a hell of a lot
more fun in a 911.

Sorry to interrupt.

I think you might have some
information I'm looking for.

Oh, boy. Has there
ever been a happy conversation

that started with those words?

Do you know a woman
named Lila Bowman?

What's this about?

I'm looking for her.

Sure.

- How do you know Lila?
- Met her at a party.

Haven't seen her
in a couple of years.

- But you dated?
- Why?

She have a jealous husband
I don't know about?

No.

Come with me.

12 years ago, a woman named
Lila Bowman d*ed in a car crash

in Bridgeport, Connecticut,
or so her family thought.

But more recently,
there's evidence

that she might've
come out here instead.

Ah, that doesn't
sound like Lila.

I mean, she was from back east.

Yeah, good one.

Do you have any way
to get in touch with her?

E-mail? Phone number?

No. She moved up to Pismo.

I kind of lost track.

- That girl over there, she with you?
- You know her?

Okay, I'm gonna ask you again,
what's this about?

That's Lila's daughter.

She says she met you.

Yeah, the other day, with Tex.

I'm an investor
in his wind farm. Uh...

I had no idea Lila
had a daughter.

Two daughters and a son.

Jesus. And they all
think she's dead?

Tex never said anything
about her past?

No. And Lila never mentioned
she had kids.

She really ran out
on her children?

Do you know anyone who might be
able to get in touch with her?

I wish I did.

I would love to help.

I will... I'll gladly
take your cell phone number.

Chuck Johnson.

This is my private cell.

Any time.

Hey. Why didn't you
let me talk to him?

We got all the information
we need.

Was Francesca right?

Uh, was he who she was talking
about? What-what'd he say?

It doesn't matter.
He's connected to Tex.

But Francesca wasn't.

We don't know that.
I mean, that guy, Chuck,

he says they dated,
but he doesn't have

her-her phone number or e-mail.

I mean, who randomly changes
their cell phone number?

I mean, so she changed it
for a reason.

Well, it's just too convenient,
when it involves Tex.

Why are you purposely
trying not to believe people?

This is happening.

My mother is alive.
Your daughter is alive.

I mean, come on, we're going.

Back to Bakersfield,

to talk to the liar-in-chief.

Okay, so...

what's the timetable
on Rubinek? Ballpark?

Well, it, uh, uh,
it depends on him.

Uh, if we seem too eager,
then he's gonna spook.

If-if he... if we're not
eager enough, then he'll walk.

So how do we project
the right kind of eager?

We just have to play along
with his demands,

in a way that seems reluctant.

What demands?

Well, we went to Vermont
to get the forger, Hickey,

and this morning,
he said he wants to show us

the real painting...
in California.

This doesn't smell right.

How soon does he want us
in California?

The next 24 hours.

If we fly out there
on an hour's notice,

won't we look
the wrong kind of eager?

Right, but if we don't...

- He could walk.
- Well, I-it's really up to you guys.

W-We could get out there,
we could be sitting around

for a couple of days
or maybe even a week.

I don't like it.
But the demand's not

completely out of character.

He probably thinks the switch

-will put us off balance.
- Well, whatever he does,

we'll be ready for him.

What's your take on this?

I...

I, I-I think it's sudden
and reckless

and, uh, I don't think
we should give in so easily.

It's really just a question
of what have you got to lose?

What if we ask
for something in return?

Yeah. Yeah.

Tell Sy we'll go to California,

but if we do, he has to be
at the authentication himself.

I'll talk to him,
I'll see what he says.

But you make it a demand.

I want to look him in the eye.

Yeah.
He wants us on the back foot,

we want him on the back foot.

And this way,
we don't look too eager.

Perfect.
Charisse, call the airport,

- tell them to fuel up the jet.
- Yes, sir.

Come on. Let's go to California.

All right, I'll meet you guys
on the plane.

I got to jump on a video chat
with China.

The whole country?
That's impressive.

No, just the part
that makes me money.

- Real future in comedy.
- What the hell are you doing?

- I'm getting on the plane.
- We are not going to California.

You're gonna tell them
Sy Rubinek has changed his mind.

I think that would be
a little suspicious.

Why are you trying
to destroy my life?

It's gonna destroy your life
if you don't get on the plane.

We can't do this.
How can we do this?

You were supposed to ask
for $75,000 for Hickey,

not tell them
Sy's in California.

I'm gonna get the money for
Hickey, and in the meantime,

you're gonna be able to see
Carly and Audrey.

I-I don't want to see Carly
and Audrey.

I mean, I want to see them,
but my-my freedom

depends on you catching
Sy Rubinek, and Sy Rubinek

never once said anything
about California.

He didn't not say anything
about California.

- I am not getting on that plane.
- Get on the plane.

- No...
- Julia, get the...

Julia, this is all
gonna be fine.

- It's all gonna work out.
- How? How? How?

- How will it work out? What?
- Julia.

- Julia. Julia.
- What? Marius.

There is no Sy Rubinek.

There's no Sy Rubinek.

You?

You, you...

You, you, you...

How? How? How?

I preload the texts in here,
they come out here.

Oh, Jesus Christ.
How did I fall for that...

You just weren't
looking out for it.

You're a f*cking monster.

If you tell Kilbane
and Vignetti,

there will be no Sy Rubinek,

and then they won't be able
to catch Sy Rubinek,

and then you'll go to prison,
so get on the f*cking plane,

we'll talk about it later.

You should call somebody
about Ellen and Jacob.

I don't need you to remind me
about my kids.

Got yourself a real big fish.

That's how I like them.

Good to see you
back in business.

- Your client will be out in a minute.
- Thank you.

Yeah. Hi.

Hi. How you doing?

Okay.

Um, can you pick up
the kids from school

and take them to Lance's?
He's expecting them.

Yeah, sure.

Uh, is... is everything okay?

I am headed to Los Angeles.

Ooh, yi, yi. What for? Wh-why?

That insurance job, the one
with Pete. Super last minute.

Is this okay
with your court case?

Yeah. The guy I'm working for
took care of it.

Carly called me. She told me
she's in Bakersfield.

With Audrey, I mean,
that-that whole story, it...

it's crazy, right?

I mean... what do you think?

Well, I think Carly's 17.

Maybe I can get up to see
them while I'm out there.

Mm-hmm. I'm sure
they'd appreciate that.

I don't know about Audrey.

Oh, come on, come on.
She loves you.

And when you see her, tell her
the business is doing fine.

That's great.

Yeah. Okay, fly safe.

- Who was that?
- It was my granddaughter.

She and my grandson are going
out to I.A. for work.

L.A.? Hmm.

- What kind of work?
- Insurance.

I can't tell you
what it means to me

that you're trusting me
like you are.

I'm a pretty good judge
of people.

You still look like dog meat.

You're pretty as ever.

Where's your rep?

I didn't know I needed one.

Your buddy Naz is looking
to file kidnapping charges.

Claims you broke into his house
and snatched his fiancée.

Natalie?

That's the stupidest sh*t
I've ever heard.

Well, he's a scumbag looking
to avoid eight to ten

on felony possession
with intent.

But Phillips and Otimendi

have to go through
the motions anyway.

I got nothing to hide.

Just because you're an idiot,
don't be a moron.

Ask for a rep.

In the box, Taylor.

- You okay?
- Yeah. You should've told me about Naz.

- Taylor.
- In a minute.

Had nothing to do with you.

You wouldn't have
lost your badge,

you wouldn't have been there
in the first place.

Taylor, stop tampering
with my witness.

- You used to be a cop.
- I am still a cop.

Just on vacation.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

Go home.

Dotti! That dry cleaner's

got to get the stain
out of these pants.

Oh, hey, uh,
well, how was the outing?

Tell me about Chuck and Lila.

Uh, Chuck's, uh, one of my
investors in the wind farm.

You know... Carly met him.

So, Chuck says they dated.

And if they dated,
why didn't you tell me?

Chuck and Lila never dated.

They... they might've
gone to dinner.

And you didn't think
that was worth mentioning?

It... it wasn't like
they were going steady.

And Francesca?

W-Who's Francesca?

Uh, she's Mom's friend
from Santa Barbara.

Mom sold her the car.

Right before
the engine block split,

so it definitely sounds
like one of yours.

I have never knowingly sold
a car with a defect.

Now if you're done damning me,

I'm going to go put
on my trousers,

which still have
a g*dd*mn stain in them!

What's your endgame?

Same as you. Find Lila.

I don't think there is a Lila.

So we're back to that.
I'm inventing things.

Chuck told Grandma
that Mom moved north to Pismo.

Mm, it's possible,
Pismo's a nice town.

Now, if you're asking me
if I knew it, I did not.

Watch him, Carly.
He lies as easy as he breathes.

Oh, stop it.

Not every word out of my mouth

is designed to hurt you.

Good God, I throw up my hands.

I am trying for forgiveness,
and you are a block of ice.

What if he's not actually lying?

Sorry.

Grandma's just... I don't know,

um, stubborn.

She's got every right.
Things I've done.

- She told me.
- She did?

Well, then, you don't need
to play peacemaker.

I'm the one that broke faith.

Why did you what you did?

I married a beautiful,
wealthy woman

from a good family,

and then I fell in love
with another woman.

I couldn't let
the first woman go

without destroying
everything I'd built,

and I didn't want the second
to have a... a lesser life.

So I went and married her, too.

Now, there it is.

You remember when you said
your mom went up to Pismo Beach?

Something clicked.

- My mom left this here?
- Two years ago.

I-I didn't think anything of it,
but now?

I-It's a clue.

I promise you, Carly,

I'm gonna help you and Audrey
find your mom.

And when we do, you're gonna be
the happiest person

in the whole g*dd*mn world.

Oh!

I will, I will, I will.

You have beautiful hands.

Show me how you deal seconds.

Why, is there a card game
you want to cheat in?

I'm a student of the con,

-not a practitioner.
- Why not?

To begin with, I have a soul.

But I also have
these shovel hands.

Even if I wanted to do
something, it's useless.

Well, a con is in the mind,

-not in the hands.
- There's still

the aforementioned soul.

But I'm interested
in card mechanics,

like Erdnase
or Vernon and Miller.

For instance, they all frame up
in different ways.

I don't know those people.

I've also researched
your brother.

Some people think he's
a better technician than you.

You want to see seconds?

Lovely push-off.

Lovely rhythm.

But you know
what really interests me?

Sy Rubinek.

How did you get to meet him?

Well, I didn't, at first.

Um, I-I got brought in
by a friend to pack a crowd

for a party con, and then,
a couple months later,

I did a seizure victim for him
at a Las Vegas casino.

And what was the play?

I have no idea. 80% of the time,

I never know who the mark is
or what the angle is.

I only knew about the painting
because I-I-I helped swap

the real one for the fake
at the exchange.

And how did you do that?

It doesn't matter.
He never does it

the same way twice.

Sorry. Do you mind if I just...

Please.

Okay.

You don't like him, either?

Whenever I feel
like a terrible person,

I look over and remind myself
there's somebody worse.

He's a means to an end.

And for an end like this,
you pay whatever it takes.

How much are you paying?

Well, Sy Rubinek
took four million off me.

I've spent five tracking him,

and I'll spend another ten
making sure he goes down.

If you want, you can
just give me ten million,

I'll pretend I'm Sy Rubinek.

No, I'm afraid it's gonna
have to be the real Rubinek,

and he's gonna
have to go to prison,

and those paintings are gonna
have to go back to the Gardner.

Not that I need any credit
for any of this, you know.

I view it as an act
of philanthropy.

I'm sure you'll get some anyway.

Well, if I do, I do.

You know, I had a ritual.

Every night,
I'd go down to my cellar,

pour a glass of wine,
open up this special cabinet,

and inside was a Rembrandt.

The Storm
on the Sea of Galilee.

The only seascape
he ever painted.

This dark tempest rising.

I loved it with my
full and open heart.

It's an insane thing to say
about a painting, I know,

but it meant more to me
than any amount of money.

You understand that?

No, but I barely have
enough money for groceries.

Eight years I communed
with that painting,

and then last year,
I'm in Dubai,

and the son of some oil baron
took me into his study.

Says I have to see something
really special.

And there, hanging on his wall,

is The Storm
on the Sea of Galilee.

My Storm on the Sea of Galilee.

Another fake?

Sold to him by Sy Rubinek
using the same con.

I mean...

I didn't tell him
about my Rembrandt.

I didn't...
I didn't tell anyone.

Until my rage
drove me to Vignetti.

Finding out a painting that you
love is a forgery is like...

it's like finding out
that a lover has betrayed you.

I mean, there they are, they're
dressed in the same clothes,

in the same frame,

but you can never look at them
the same way again.

You didn't have to wait.

Are they gonna fire you?

Think they kind of want me
to quit first.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't make me lose
my badge, or my temper.

I got you involved.

You were trying to save Natalie.

- You saved Natalie.
- No, that was you.

I was just,
I was in the vicinity.

With how shitty
my life is right now,

knowing that Natalie is in rehab

is one of the few good things.

- Still, I feel terrible.
- So bake me a quiche.

I'm not sure that was
such a good idea. I...

I just... I didn't want Otto
to feel jealous.

Well, from how he was eating it,
I-I'd say it did the job.

You really love him, don't you?

I do.

You're a good person,
and I've been...

On my mind.

I was gonna say not good.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I should go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

♪ ♪

All right, let me know as soon

as Rubinek makes contact.
I'll be at the house.

Sure we can't stay
at your place?

Go.

Settle in, we'll reconvene
at 9:00 in the morning.

Okay.

- Hey, can we do 10:00?
- No.

So are you anybody else
that I should know about?

Okay, not in the hallway.

- Okay, well...
- Wait, can I talk to you for a second?

Your...
Why do we have to...

I shouldn't even be here.
I'm out on f*cking bail.

What am I supposed to do now?
What do I, what do I do now?

Julia. Julia. You can help me
with Kilbane and Vignetti.

- That's what you can do.
- It's all about you.

Come on, if this was
all about me, we-we...

I would've kept this
in New York. I-I...

But I brought you here
'cause I was trying to be nice.

That's not being nice,
that's being a sociopath.

How are you Sy Rubinek?

I was a kid.
Nobody would take me seriously,

so I started using a cutout.

But Kilbane said he saw
Sy Rubinek.

No, I hired an actor from
the Westport Dinner Theater.

- He was a schlub, it was funny.
- And all that money you made?

Eight years ago,
75% of that went to overhead.

Julia, Julia.

You heard what Kilbane said.
He'll do anything to catch Sy.

All we have to do
is convince him

to put up $4 million as bait,
which we've already almost done,

and then,
and then at the exchange,

when they're expecting
to catch Sy,

we swap the paintings,
we grab the money,

Sy disappears, and they'll
never even know we conned them.

Julia, do you know
what your take

from this kind
of thing would be?

Upwards of a million dollars.
A million dollars.

You could get a really good
lawyer for a million dollars.

You're gonna screw me over,
right at the end.

I'll trust you, you'll run out,
and I'll be left with nothing.

I don't know what
your other options are.

This is your way out.
All you have to do is play dumb

and vouch for Sy
getting away with the money.

Nothing sticks to you,
you're clean.

Hey, I'm gonna buy us
a couple of days

so we-we can go out to
Bakersfield and see your family.

I'll-I'll tell Vignetti
that we have some errands.

- It'll be good.
- Can't wait.

- Does it feel okay?
- Yeah. What girl doesn't like

a new piece of jewelry?

Well, if it starts
to chafe, just, uh,

cut off a top of a sock
and slip it under the strap.

So... what now?

You are free to go.

You just have to, uh,

get back in time
for-for your hearing.

I hope I've made
the right choice. It... Oh.

Are you gonna be all right?

Yeah, I just... I think
I haven't eaten today, so I'm...

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

I have half a quiche
in back here.

No, you don't have to share.

No, no, no, no. I shouldn't be
eating a whole quiche anyway.

You know, Pete was right.
You really are a sweet man.

You're friends with Pete?

How come you didn't
say something?

I didn't want that to be
the reason you helped me.

Besides, I'll see him
soon enough.

You've spoken with him?

No, but he's in I.A., right?

Well...

you-you, uh,
you can't go to I.A.

No. Not with an ankle monitor.

You'd have the police
hunt me down like a dog.

Ow.

What-what...
Whoa, wait a minute!

What the hell do you think
you're doing? Ah!

Tell Pete I am on my way.

- Get me off of here!
- Oh.

Hey, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

Thank you for the quiche.

That... What the... g*dd*mn it!

Get the hell back here!

How far is Pismo?

We'll be there by 1:00.

Thank you.

Hi. How you doing?

I'm wearing the same underwear
I had on in New York.

You should've had the concierge
send you down a three pack.

I'm not having a stranger
pick out my underwear.

Hey, if you're gonna
stay in a fancy hotel,

you got to learn
to enjoy the perks.

I had my whole outfit
dry-cleaned. It's amazing.

I-I'll drive. I'll drive.
Thank you, buddy.

Thank you, sir.

Find a Target on the way
to Bakersfield.

We still have to make a quick
pit stop in Santa Monica.

It's not a big deal.

We're just gonna go visit
a marriage counselor.

Tell me what I'm doing here.

It'll be painless.
55 minutes tops.

Nothing with you is painless.

Mr. and Mrs. Murphy?

- Hi.
- How are you?

- Please. Come in.
- Thanks.

I'll be right there.

Is that... real?

Okay.

So I am Dr. Camille Hickey.

H-Hickey?

We spoke on the phone.
Yeah, hey.

Welcome. Have a seat.

Yeah.

Okay, so,

are we ready to begin?
