(slow dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(doorbell rings)

(door unlocks)

- Hi.

- [Deborah] Hi.

- My name is Gary Travis.

Is there Mr. Roger Tate here?

- I think he's out fiddling in
the garage.

- Would it be okay if I
went and talked to him?

- Sure.

- Okay. Thank you.

(slow dramatic music)

Excuse me. Hi, you're Roger
Tate?

- That's me.

- I'm Gary Travis from Mountain
East Bank.

Nice to meet you.

- You too.

- Sorry, this may be awkward.

I was curious if you remember,
my mother.

Name was Doris Travis.

I think you two went to
school together at East Bank.

- Ooh boy. That was,
that was a long time ago.

Doris.

I remember a Doris in high
school.

Kinda short and feisty,
wore her hair up in one

of those bun things the
girls wore back in the 60s.

That was some wild times.
(laughing)

Why is she looking for me?

Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

(slow dramatic music)

- Wait a minute. You're law
enforcement.

- Huh?

- You're law enforcement
or you just a collector?

Oh, my family has a long
history in law enforcement.

I'm a retired Dallas PD, 35
years.

I started collecting
those patches and trinkets

wherever I could find them.

- I'm former law enforcement
also.

- Oh yeah.

Well, it's kind of a
brotherhood.

Sure is.

So what's the story with Doris?

She didn't pass on, did she?

- No. No. She's definitely
alive.

Mind slipping a bit, but.

Recently she mentioned
something she had remembered

about my birth father,

fellow by the name of Roger.

(slow dramatic music)

- I don't know anything about
that.

- I just thought we could talk,
you know.

Maybe there's a chance.

- I said, I don't know nothing
about that.

And I believe it's time
for you to be on your way.

(slow dramatic music)

(birds chirping)

(slow dramatic music)

- Ooh, buddy.

You gotta stop or you're gonna
fall down and hurt yourself.

(doorbell)

My sitter canceled.

It's just for today.

(water flowing)

(toilet flushes)

Traffic that bad?

- No.

I was just a bit preoccupied
last night

at the apartment and I realized
that,

well, I can't stay up
as late as I used to.

So, what's going on today?

No, let me rephrase that.

What do we have going that
doesn't involve someone

wanting to spy on the
person that they're dating?

You know what?

I'm so sorry, sir.

We can't put a tracker
on your girlfriend's car,

but you can find one on the
internet.

What?

What's that?

Oh. Oh. You want a list of the
secret apps

that your boyfriend is
using to cheat on you?

That's not gonna happen.

And you, you want to know why
her

phone's buzzing late at night?

Well, you know what?

Bring it on down to Gary's Tech
Town

and we'll figure it right out.

Fix that cracked screen while
we're at it.

Do people have lives outside
their phones?

Because I would be happy
to help them if they did.

- I use my phone for a lot of
stuff.

- Yeah, I know. I do too.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm just
ranting.

It's obvious that we're not
reaching the right market.

- Have you thought about
advertising?

- I would love to advertise,
but it takes income to do that.

And you know, you would
think that saving a school

that we would be okay.

But the way things are going,

unless I'm willing to
lie down in back seats

with a tape recorder,

we may not have income for a
while.

- But I'm still gonna
get paid though, right?

- Yes. I have reserves set aside
for you.

Well, for a while at least.

- Well, word of advice.

Maybe don't go around
telling your customers

you're gonna use a tape
recorder.

- Yeah, I know.

So what's on the itinerary?

- Okay. So I can scratch
out the two customers coming

in for what I labeled as
"Romantic surveillance."

- Please.

- There was a really
professional sounding lady

who wants to come in and
meet with you tomorrow.

She wouldn't give me any
details over the phone.

So that could actually be
interesting.

- Well, I hope that's the one.

No, no, no.

I will pray that that is the
one.

- How'd it go with Roger?

- Not good.

(slow dramatic music)

(playing video-game)

Stupid controller.

Come, come on.

(knock on door)

Who is it?

- [Becky] It's your wife.

- Door's unlocked.

- What happened to the gentleman
who used

to open the door for me?

(playing video-games)

Seriously?

- What?

Oh, I think you might be able

to help me catch up on laundry.

- Oh no.

You are going to do all of
this laundry by yourself.

Where did that thing come from?

- I was lonely, bought
it for entertainment.

Helps me to de-stress.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Come
on!

(grunts loudly)
You cheater!

Your computer cheats!

You knew that was gonna kill me.

Hey, I've been real busy at the
office

and some of the housekeeping
has gotten neglected.

- Where's your food?

- I don't eat that much.

I think I lost six pounds.

- Where are the dishes

and the cookware that I sent
with you?

- Look, you don't need
to be doing all that.

Ha, that's where it was.

- Oh.

Please tell me,

you have not been rewashing
these plates.

- I was just trying to save
money.

- Where's the bathroom?

- It's by the bedroom.

(water flowing)

- [Becky] Gary Evan Travis.

That is disgusting.

(soft jazz music)

(dog breathing)

- I just shut down, walked
off, right after I told him.

So I just left.

- I'm sorry, hun.

Did he look like you?

- I don't know. Maybe a little.

- Maybe he wasn't even the one.

You know your mom says a lot of
things

that aren't quite accurate.

- You know what? I'm just,
I'm not gonna worry about it.

I'm just gonna focus on drumming
up

new customers at the office,

or I'm gonna be the proud
owner of two failed businesses.

- I have faith in you.

And what about Jasmine?

Any good conversations with her
yet?

- Nah, we don't really talk
about anything personal.

So be hard to talk about
beliefs.

- Well, maybe you need to change
that.

You're the boss. The buck stops
with you.

- Yeah, but I don't wanna
force anything on her.

- Then do what you do
best. Figure out a way.

- Oh. Oh. So we get to go back
inside now?

- Oh no. I am never going
back into that apartment.

Not after what I experienced in
there.

- Well, where are you gonna stay
tonight?

You can't go back home.

- I'm getting a hotel.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What about you and me?

- And you are welcome to join
me.

- Okay.

(slow dramatic music)

(takes picture)

(typing)

Hey.

- What's up?

- I think we need to make a
change here at the office.

- Like, did I do something
wrong?

- No, no, no. Not at all. Here's
the deal.

You and I obviously believe
differently about the world,

like spiritual matters
and God, stuff like that.

And I've tried not to
force my views on you.

- Which I told you is not
necessary, but continue.

- Well I just, I wanna open a
door.

Whenever you think about it.

You know, throw a question at me
about why

I believe the way I do.

Just like I want to know why
you believe the way you do.

Why you're an agnostic or an
atheist.

Not that to argue or just to
discuss.

And I dunno, maybe you'll change
my mind.

- See, that's the thing.

I don't care about
changing anybody's mind.

That's what Christians do, okay.

I just think everybody's
belief should be private.

That's it.

- All right. Fair enough.
Invitation's open.

Challenge me if you want to.

Maybe it'll help keep
my old man brain sharp

for what we do here.

- Okay. And so if you
start doubting your faith,

you're not gonna blame me.

- No.

- And you're not gonna fire me.

- Of course not.

- All right, so then let's
do it. When do we start?

- Well, we don't got
much going on right now.

- Okay. I got one for you.

So if there's a God and he's all
loving

and he just loves everybody so
much,

then why doesn't he just
wipe out pain and suffering?

I mean like if I love somebody,

I'm not gonna just sit
around and watch him suffer.

(doorbell rings)

- Gary Travis?
- Yes.

- I'm Phillipa Verdi.

I'm director of Internal
Affairs at CMI National.

- The big campus across the
highway. How can I help you?

- Well, the matter of business
that brings me here today

is of a somewhat sensitive
nature.

I was hoping we could speak
privately.

- Yeah, yeah. Please have a
seat.

Our furnishings are a bit
limited.

We just opened.

- Thank you. And good job on
that high school incident.

It's a shame it didn't
get any more attention.

- Oh, you heard about that?

- Indeed.

So let me start with this.

Multi-billion dollar
corporations like ours typically

have a system in place to
monitor high level employees

for any personal indiscretions.

If we're ever to be caught
flatfooted

in a compromising situation,

that could mean 10s of millions

of dollars in stock value just
vanishing.

When the slightest whispers
start blowing

in the wrong direction, we
need to know about that.

- Yeah, understood.

- My division's tasked with
ensuring

that those whispers or some
people like to call them rumors

are thoroughly vetted and
potentially squashed out

before they can spread.

That's what brings me here
today.

There's a board member
whose private dealings

are raising concern and we
need someone from the outside

who can gather information
undetected.

- What can you tell me
about the individual?

- His name is Eli Workshire.

Now it was brought to our
attention,

he's hosting exclusive
gatherings at his estate.

Movie stars, athletes, politicians.

Showing off his success

to others that want to be
around successful people.

And to attract those types,

you typically have to
offer more than a photo op.

- So you want me to uncover
what's being offered?

Gather something solid for you.

- A solid would be good.

Incriminating would be better.

- Oh, what if I don't
find something illegal?

I mean, what other rumors?

Drugs, money laundering, trafficking?

- That's where we're
depending on your expertise.

- I see.

So can you get me into
one of these parties?

- Unfortunately that's not
something I can help you with.

As far as the corporation's
concerned

this conversation isn't
happening.

- So what if I do find
something?

Is there a rate allocated
for a matter of this nature?

'Cause to be honest, it
doesn't sound standard or easy.

- Well, there is a discretionary
fund I can pull from.

And for this first matter,
we're planning to offer 35.

Now that's just starting.

I can assure you that if
you take care of this,

there'll be more work
and at an increased rate.

- Well, for something this
involved

I mean 3,500 seems a bit--

- Oh no, no, I apologize.

35,000.

- Oh, oh.

Yeah. No, I just, I would
think it. Yeah, we can do that.

(slow dramatic music)

Yeah. I am still trying to find
a way in.

I'll keep you posted.

You're sure you're up for this?

You are the man Trey.

Well I appreciate the
reinforcement.

You keep East Bank under
control.

All right, talk soon.

Talk to me Mr. Workshire.

What are you up to?

(pensive music)

What am I looking at?

- Criminal history report,
public tax records,

political contributions, news
articles

and social media posts
from the past 30 days

for Mr. Eli Henry Workshire.

- Anything incriminating?

- Not that I see.

- Well, I spent last night
digging

and the only conclusion I came
up with

is that this guy is a saint.

Donations to the children's
hospital, charity 5K run.

Oh look.

Photo of he and his kids
adopting a puppy.

You know maybe if we sneak into
one

of those private parties,

we can catch him baking
cookies for orphans.

You know what, there's something

that just doesn't smell right
about this.

Is that deposit check clear?

- Well yeah, it was a
cashier's check, so yeah.

Maybe this whole thing
is just a big snipe hunt.

- A what?

- You never heard of a snipe
hunt?

It's like a big practical joke

where you take somebody
hunting for the first time.

My dad used to do it.

- Oh, I've only been hunting
once.

- Oh, okay.

You have somebody go out in the
dark,

you give him a bag and you
tell him it's to catch a snipe.

You tell him all these
ridiculous things to do

and the whole time they're doing
'em,

thinking that they're
gonna catch something.

- But there isn't really a snipe
to catch.

- Yes, exactly. Because
it's just one big prank.

- But why would CMI be
paying us for a prank?

- Maybe it's not a prank.
Maybe it's something else.

- I guess we won't know for
sure until we get access to one

of those alleged private
parties.

So we need entry into a private
gathering

on a gated estate
without breaking the law.

I just don't see how that's
gonna happen.

- Look, come here. Look at this.

Come here.

- What am I looking at?

- My favorite actress,
Elizabeth Kings in town.

The paparazzi you're seeing is

because she's dating pro
athlete Xavier Michaels.

- Yeah, I know who he is.

He dropped the ball in the
playoffs.

- Right. Right. Who cares.

But this weekend there's

an invitation-only fundraiser
event.

Very exclusive.

And you get to meet Xavier
Michaels.

So people are saying

that Elizabeth King will
probably be there too.

- What does it have to do with
anything?

- Look at the location.

- Huh, the Workshire estate.

Very good.

- You need a date?

'Cause you could take me.

- Invitations extended to select
guests

from a minimum donation of, just
$10,000.

Yeah, I don't think so.

- Okay. If you're making 35,000.

- You are not supposed to know
that.

- Oops.

My dad always says you gotta
spend money to make money.

They have three guest tickets
right there.

So we can all go.

You, me, your cop buddy.

- Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah.

All right.

Reach out and see if they're
still accepting donations.

Covertly.

- All right.

Okay.

(orchestral music)

- All right, I done scoped out
the place.

They got most of the doors
locked,

but the office door was
conveniently left open.

- Nah, it doesn't surprise me.

- They got a few guys on
security,

but ain't nothing we can't
handle if we have to.

- We're just trying to blend in.

Just keep an eye on Workshire.

Maybe someone will slip up.

- I got you.

So, well, when are you
planning to do your thing?

- I don't know yet.

- All right, well just make
sure you keep me close by.

(orchestral music)

(slow dramatic music)

- No, I just, I just visited
with him.

Absolutely.

He's gonna fund the girls
team for the whole year.

That's exactly what he said.

So I just thought that you'd
want

to know as soon as possible.

(soft suspenseful music)

- Where is he?

- In the office?

- Can we lock him in?

- He left the door open.

- What's he doing?

- I'm not sure.

I'll go inform Mr. Workshire
he's been isolated.

We'll see how Travis does
face to face with the subject.

You two, intercept,

if either his companions try to
interfere.

- Sir.

- It is all falling, right?

Second round, third round.

Look, I didn't tell my mama
I was buying her a house,

but if I go any deep in this
draft, that's not happening.

(all laughing)

- But tell them what you told
me.

- Oh, right, right, right, okay.

So we had this big draft party.

And everybody's just silent, stunned.

So my mama comes up to me, she
touched me on the shoulder.

She's like, "Come here."

I'm like, "Mom, I'm trying
to watch the draft."

Like, busy here, right.

So anyway, I followed her down
the hallway

and she points to my room and
in there there's my granny

on the floor with her prayer
beads.

And she's just going to work
with Jesus.

I got drafted like three picks
later.

- Isn't that the most beautiful
thing you've ever heard?

I have no stories even
close to that. (laughing)

(speaking indistinctly)

- Excuse me.

- Excuse me for totally
fangirling right now,

but I actually saw a story

that you posted last week
about your first audition in LA

and I, for one thought it was
an amazingly inspiring story.

I mean, the ups, the downs, the
heartache,

and then you got the call.

- Oh, that.

My publicist wrote it,

'cause we have to post a certain
number of things each week

to keep the algorithms going or
whatever.

And that's a business now.

So annoying, right?

- Yeah. Tell me about it.

- Anyway, thank you.

I'm so glad you liked it.

We can get a photo if you want.

- [Jasmine] Really?

That would be really amazing.

- Let me talk to you.

(room chatter)
(slow dramatic music)

- We'd like you to come
with us. Mr. Millwood.

- Look fellas, I'm just looking
for the restroom, all right.

- It'll wait. This way please.

(slow dramatic music)

(door opens)
- Excuse me.

This room isn't open to guests.

(suspenseful music)

- Hun.

Sorry I'm gonna have to go. I
love you.

I apologize.

I was trying to find a place to
slip out.

Take a call.

I'm Gary Travis.

- Eli Wilshire.

- Yes, Mr. Workshire.

Your reputation precedes you.

You have a lovely estate here.

What's you're doing with the
fund is

that I would say is
inspirational.

- That's very kind. Thank you.

I consider it an obligation to
give back

after being on the receiving end
of

so many great coincidences in my
lifetime.

- Yeah. Well, I can't say I
believe in the coincidences,

but the obligation part. Yeah, I
do.

- So what brings you here this
evening

if I may ask Mr. Travis?

- Well...

I wanted to see for myself up
close.

- See what?

- Well, if the Xavier and
Elizabeth King thing is real.

I mean, it greatly
affects my fantasy team.

(Eli laughing)

No, I'm here just to support
the cause like everyone else.

- I see. Well your generosity
is most appreciated.

Have you had a chance to
meet our honorary guest yet?

- No. No I haven't. But I intend
to.

- Well, surely.

So Mr. Travis, if your personal
business

in my office has been attended
to,

I'd be happy to make a
personal introduction.

- That would be an honor.

And hopefully I won't
stick my foot in my mouth.

- How'd it go?

- Travis covered himself well.

Eli is taking him back to the
party.

- Gotta hand it to the guy.

I didn't think he'd make it this
far.

You think he knows?

- Not sure.

(Millwood exhales)

- You know that gun you
got behind your back,

on your waist?

Yeah you giving yourself away
man.

I can see it every time you
move.

All right. I'm just trying
to help you out, bro.

You make yourself a target.

I mean, I just try to conceal
it a little bit better,

but that's just me.

Nice suit, right.

Yeah that's yours bro.

- Where's the clip?

- I don't know.

You must have dropped it.

Oops.

- Mr. Millwood, be greatly
appreciated

if you could remain
here just a bit longer.

Come with me.

(Millwood giggles)

- Mr. Michaels, I'd like to
introduce you

to one of our guests, Gary
Travis.

- What's up my man? How you
doing?

- 1,346 yards, seven touchdowns.

- It'll be more when my knee is
better.

Doctor says I'll be 15%
faster when it's healed.

- Oh, you will.

- Do I get the courtesy
of an introduction again.

Elizabeth King.

- Oh, no introduction
needed. It is my pleasure.

I have a coworker who adores
your work.

- You're too kind.

- While I have you here, I'd
love to ask you a question.

- Oh gosh. Is it the same
question

that everyone has been asking?

- Probably

You two being so well respected

and beloved in the community.

I mean, why are you hanging
around with this scumbag?

(both laughing)

- What are you talking about?

- Oh, you don't know?

Drugs, organized crime, fraud.

I mean, how do you think
this guy became so rich?

But I get it.

You gotta pretend like you don't
know

what goes on in these parties, huh?

- I beg your pardon?
- What's that?

- I said I beg your pardon?

- Oh, what is there more?

Like embezzlement, racketeering
huh?

- I think that's quite enough
Mr. Travis.

- Oh, I got more, I got a lot
more.

- Right this way.

- I got a lot more to say.

Oh I got a lot more.
- Let's go.

(indistinct whispering)

- That was not what we
discussed.

- What's up Sarge?

- Don't call me that.

- Gentlemen, would you
care to explain to me

what is going on here tonight?

- Well, I think you should
ask your security guy

'cause he is been creeping
on me all night long.

- Mr. Travis, we approached
you with a very specific task

and you've made a spectacle of
the matter

and you've embarrassed Mr.
Workshire in the process.

Care to explain yourself?

- Oh, I don't think I'm the
one who owes an explanation.

- Fine then.

If our corporation's gonna trust
outsiders

with sensitive matters,

then they have to be vetted
first and Mr. Castle here.

- Yeah. David Castle,
chief investigative officer

of CMI International,
former private investigator.

I know all about him.

- Impressive.

But I wasn't exactly trying
to hide from anyone was I?

- What at the park or
in front of my office?

No, no you weren't.

- Anyway, Mr. Workshire
doesn't have any skeletons

in his closet.

The rumors were merely
fabrications.

And we hoped that as we
observed your methods,

that you'd come to the same
conclusion.

Prove yourself and then we
could all do business together.

But obviously as was
demonstrated this evening,

you accomplished none of those
things.

So we thank you Mr.
Travis, and we wish you

and your colleagues the best
in your future endeavors.

- Well I hope you all
have a very nice evening.

Come on guys.

(slow dramatic music)

- Wait.

(dramatic music)

- It's okay. It's okay.

Mama's here.

You gotta be careful buddy, okay.

You spin around like that, you
get dizzy,

hit your head and then you fall
down.

Okay. Be careful, okay.

- You know, you could keep him
pain free

if he just sat in your lap all
day.

Or you could wrap him in foam
padding.

Never get hurt or ever have
to come running to you.

- Kind of like it when he runs
to me,

to make it better.

It shows that he needs me.

- So even though you love him

and could take away the
possibility of any pain,

you don't do it.

- I see what you did there.

- Just saying.

- You just came up with that on
the spot?

- There are a lot of those
stories in the Bible.

Job, the Israelites.

- I don't know, based on
what happened with CMI

maybe there is something to your
praying.

You know, like seriously.

They sent us four new cases
today. Four.

- So that means less time
on the gossip sites for you.

- Hey, my guilty pleasure
got you in the door.

I still wanna know what you
put on that note though.

(slow dramatic music)

- Well, I can't let you
in on all my tricks,

but let's just say that
someone may have inspired me

to leave a little message to let
them know

that we were onto their scheme.

- You sure turned it around on
him.

Put them on the defensive.

- So he passed the test.

Does that mean he's our guy?

- I think he's our guy.

- Hopefully this is the
big break we've needed.

(slow dramatic music)

- Our connection to his
firm must stay untraceable.

You got it.

- I'll handle that part.

- Gary Travis is about to become

a very valuable asset to CMI.

(dramatic music)
