Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "The Catch"...

We're here with LA's Chief of
Detectives, Nicholas Turner.

Alice Vaughan stole my partner.

She didn't have to steal me. I left.

We had a life together, Ben.

We were going to have a future together.

And then you chose her.

Tommy: You're engaged to a con man?

Alice: Mm-hmm.

I guess it makes sense, given Ethan.

Ethan was a mistake.

- Are you happy?
- I am.

That's all I ever wanted.

I think you'd rather destroy
the Firm than let me have it.

I can hardly coordinate
a mutiny from the inside.

Well, if you didn't
do this, then who did?

This is the woman who wants you dead.

She's been studying Margot
Bishop for a long time.

Who are you?

You don't recognize me?
It has been a while.

Mummy.

♪ I'm the judge ♪

♪ And I'm the jury ♪

♪ Make your case ♪

Tessa Riley. Is that your real name?

Tessa: Depends on who you ask.

When your entire life
has been based on a lie,

it's hard to know what's real.

I'll take that as a yes.

So, Tessa, how old are you?

That's also up for debate.

Perhaps you should go
directly to the source.

Tell us, Mum.

Was I a winter baby?

, ?

.

And where do your adoptive
parents think you are right now?

Well, I have no idea.

I haven't seen them in over a year.

But Steven and Suzanne never seemed

particularly interested
in my whereabouts,

even as a child.

Seems odd considering
how much they paid for me.

Paid?

My parents were desperate

to curry favor with the Kensington Firm.

So when Sybil Griffiths approached them

with a -pound, -ounce problem,

they were more than happy
to provide a solution.

In cash.

Where are Steve and Suzanne now?

Back in Sheffield with the
rest of their nauseating brood,

I supposed.

So you've been on your own
and on the run for over a year?

It speaks.

- I don't buy it.
- Why is that?

Because no year old is
equipped to survive on her own.

And you're not attractive enough
to have got by on your looks.

You can't fight genetics.

It is difficult to
imagine a -year-old girl

doing what you've done all by herself.

Nothing like plotting
your mother's death

to keep a girl motivated.

Still, you'd think you'd at
least want to meet your mother.

Alleged mother.

Before you k*lled her.

Imagine growing up in a home

where everyone despised
you but you had no idea why.

And then one day you
discovered the truth,

and suddenly it all makes sense.

All the shame, the abuse, the pain.

And there's a person

responsible for all of it.

You do some digging, you
find out she's a mobster,

a m*rder*r,

a monster.

You poor thing.

I'm so sorry.

You're absolutely right.

[Grunts]

I am a monster.

Deal with these. Have them tested.

There's no way that's Margot's kid.

Why not?

'Cause when you give birth, isn't, like,

your body supposed to change?

Don't the hips widen?

I heard the hips widen.

The lab says they'll get
the test results to us ASAP.

In the meantime, Danny, can you
look into the adoptive parents,

Steven and Suzanne Riley?

Verify Tessa's story.

Okay.

Sophie, see if there's
anything we can use in here.

Start with the phone.

I will.

What do you think?

I think I need to call Ben.

You're that sure?

No.

But if there's even a possibility,

doesn't he deserve to know?

Absolutely not.

First of all, even if
Margot is her mother,

no one's saying Ben's the father.

And second of all, Margot's the client.

It's not our business. It's hers.

Unless Ben is the father.
Then it's my business.

[Cellphone ringing]

Say nothing.

Hi.

Ben: Check your text messages.

Uh-oh.

No, this is a good text.

Are you wearing pants in this text?

Well, now you're gonna be disappointed.

I'm clicking on a link.

Tell me what you see?

Well, I hope what I see

is an all expenses
paid vacation for two.

Even better.

That is our house you're looking at.

- What?
- Luxury overwater villas in Belize.

Construction starts next year.

We can make a deposit now.

What are you talking about?

And by the time the house is
ready, my FBI deal will be over.

Winter in Belize, summer in Gstaad.

That's almost a year from now.

Well, that's what's gonna
help me get through this year.

Unless you hate it, we
can find somewhere else.

I'm gonna call you back.
Rhys just walked in.

He's about to tell me
where he was all night.

[Sighs]

I was... out.

Enjoying a quiet evening
with an old friend.

So this isn't you robbing a
liquor store in Beverly Hills?

What?!

[Scoffs] That looks nothing like me.

I don't know what you're talk...

...talking about.

Who's the girl monkey?

As a matter of fact,

Chloe Jackson is in town.

Rhys. No.

I can't help it, Benji.
She's so powerful sexually.

I don't want to know.

It's like there are magnets pulling me.

Rhys, she's bad for you.

[Chuckling] She's the worst.

She's cocaine and cookies and cognac,

all of which she's asked me
to pick up on the way back.

No, you are not going back there.

Have to. Magnets.

Rhys, I made a deal with the FBI.

So have I, darling.

No, you were a part of my deal,

which means if you get
arrested, we both...

Nobody's gonna get arrested, all right?

Chloe's the best thief in the business,

present company excluded, obviously.

So just relax.

Here.

- These are for you.
- Rhys.

We hit a jewelry store, as well.

You didn't read about that, did you?

That's how good she is.

♪ ♪

You understand that's
not how this works, right?

You don't pitch me
cases. I bring you cases.

I see. So if I happen to find out

that one of the world's most
wanted criminals is in town,

I should not let my
friends at the FBI know?

- And this criminal's name is?
- Chloe Jackson.

Never heard of her.

No, you haven't.

But do you remember the narco
sub that went missing last year?

Tucker Cross that was never recovered?

The Russian crown jewels?

Are you saying those
were all the same person?

I'm saying if we take
down Chloe Jackson,

you can close at least
open FBI investigations.

And what do you get out of this?

The satisfaction of a job well done.

And?

Maybe a few months shaved
off the end of our deal?

And here I thought we were having
so much fun together drinking coffee.

We are. But...

The sooner you're done with your deal,

the sooner you can
be with Alice Vaughan.

You can't blame a guy for
thinking about his future,

and yours.

You could be the one who
brought down Chloe Jackson.

Find anything on her phone?

It's a burner. There's nothing on it.

Anything else to identify her?

No, but at least she's smart
enough to use protection.

She's . Who's she sleeping with?

- Just talked to her parents.
- The couple in Sheffield?

They confirmed her story and sent this.

Apparently Tessa was
expelled from school

after threatening to blow it up,

then ran away a year ago

and they haven't heard from her since.

Are they flying out?

Based on the fact they
said we could keep her,

I'm guessing no.

[Cellphone chimes]

"Initiating Phase Two. I'm going dark.

Rendezvous as planned."

- Phase two?
- She was working with someone.

Which means Margot's still a target.

Can we track down the
source of that text?

- We can try.
- Find Margot.

Let her know wherever
she is, she's in danger.

Hello, Mum.

We need to talk about the baby.

The baby? Your baby?

No, Mum. The next Dalai Lama.

Of course my baby.

What did you do with it?

Why?

Because with someone trying to
k*ll me and take down the Firm,

I'm having a bit of a midlife crisis.

Road not taken, that sort of thing.

What did you do with her?

- I gave her to a lovely...
- You gave her?

I sold her to a perfectly
boring couple in Sheffield.

You actually sold my
daughter, your granddaughter?

Well, I could've chucked her in the bin.

Instead, a business
transaction took place

and everyone was happy, including you.

Isn't capitalism wonderful?

This is why I turned out this way.

[Chuckles]

You're the one who begged me for
help with your little problem.

You didn't want me keeping that baby...

You gave it to me to get rid of it.

I was a child!

What was I gonna do with a baby?!

Oh.

She's found you, hasn't she?

Fine, don't talk to me,

but I'm not gonna be around much longer.

Something terminal, I hope.

I'm being extradited tomorrow.

Mother England wants me home

Well, at least someone wants you.

You made the right decision,

How could you give Chloe to the FBI?

I did it to protect you.

You did it to protect yourself

Chloe's gonna get you k*lled.

Yeah, but what a way to go.

Now she's never gonna
want to see me again.

She probably won't want
to have sex with me.

I will never forgive you for this.

Neither will I

if this Chloe Jackson
thing blows up in my face.

So we are going after her?

Listen, about Chloe.

Ben told me that you've
been working overtime

to try to get close to her,

and I have to say I'm very impressed.

Well...

Happy to help. Anything for the team.

Chloe Jackson obviously specializes

in high risk and high reward robberies.

That's true.

She won't get out of bed
for anything under a million.

And unless the whole world is watching.

- She likes a challenge.

- She's a lunatic.

A -year-old girl from Sheffield

doesn't hire a hit man all by herself.

So, you found out everything you
could about the Kensington Firm

and then you found someone else
who wanted to take Margot down.

Someone else who, based on
the condoms in your purse,

is clearly using you.

How do you know I'm not using him?

So you are working with someone.

And he's a him.

No, I mean he's here for you.

Ooh. Who's Nick?

As you know, the
mayor's a few weeks away

from appointing his new Chief of Police.

- You mean you?
- Well, we don't know that.

I've got the mayor's office vetting me,

looking into years of case work.

I need to know where I'm vulnerable.

Okay.

So, I want to hire you guys to
do opposition research for me.

On the other candidates?

No, on me.

You want me to dig up dirt on you?

Starting with the Ethan Ward case.

Now, I know you think Ethan
bought off the whole department.

I never said that.

No, you just quit being
a cop because of it.

Here's the thing.

You and I have worked
together for years.

You know me better than anyone.

And if I look dirty to you,

I'm gonna look dirty
to the mayor's office,

so I need you to find out the truth.

Find out why Ethan's case was dropped

so you and the mayor's office can see

I had nothing to do with it.

So, on a scale of to , how
weird was it seeing Ethan again?

.

Okay.

Why?

Because the mayor's
office is looking at Nick

to be our next Chief of Police,

and he's afraid they're gonna
think Ethan bought off the cops.

So do we. I mean, we did, right?

He swears it's not true.

And he wants to hire us to prove it.

Which would mean investigating Ethan.

And you said , so
we are not doing it.

Sophie: Guys.

I tracked the serial number
on Tessa's burner phone

to a store in Burbank.

It was purchased by a Felix McCall.

Do we know who that is?

He's one of my leftenants,

and a whinging little
misogynist at that.

[g*nsh*t]

I knew I should've k*lled
him instead of Ivor.

But the truth is, Felix has
been useful to me in the past.

Alice: How so?

He's an expert in firearms
and tactical assaults,

but his true genius is in demolitions.

- Margot.
- He makes bombs.

Improvised expl*sive devices,
both incendiary and chemical.

We need to find him immediately.

How was prison?

How was your visit with Grandmama.

We are well informed, aren't we?

I said nothing.

I assumed you'd want
Sybil to confirm my story,

and everyone knows she's in prison.

Brought down by her own daughter.

It's enough to give a girl ideas.

But they weren't your ideas, were they?

They were Felix McCall's.

Who's Felix McCall?

You don't know? Ah, well, not to worry.

He'll soon be dead.

Given your management style,

can you blame Felix
for wanting a new boss?

And that's you, is
it? A -year-old girl?

Is that what he promised you?

Because the minute he gets
what he wants, he will k*ll you.

Not everyone is like you.

No, but Felix is. I know Felix.

Yes. So do I.

He did not.

- Don't be jealous.
- He's twice your age, more than.

Boys my age don't know what

- No, you're right.

Got to say that was a first for me.

You think she made us?

I don't usually get made.

Why else would she set us up?

Nice work, Rhys. Nice outfit, too.

Well, you know, just greasing
the wheels of justice.

How did you know?

That Chloe would come here.

He's just that good.

In fact, when our deal is over,

Rhys could have a future as a
full-time consultant to the FBI.

Write a book, Spielberg
could direct the movie.

I think the movie would be

a little bit too sexually
graphic for Mr. Spielberg.

Besides, with Justine as a partner,

who knows what I'm liable to get up to?

I'm going back to work now.

I'll come with you. We

She tried to k*ll me.

She tried to k*ll us.

It's actually rather promising.

For the Firm's future.

If I let the child live, she'll
only keep trying to m*rder us.

But she didn't succeed, though, did she?

Perhaps she didn't want to.

She just wanted her mummy's attention.

Now that's absurd.

Children have difficulty
expressing themselves.

You are the grown up.

It's up to you to mend fences.

It's a bit late for that.

She's furious with me for giving her up.

Believe me, if you'd kept her,

she'd be griping about something else.

Hostility and reproach with
occasional moments of pride...

That's the mother/daughter bond for you.

Did you say pride?

Well, thanks to you, I'm
