No. Way.

162
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:38,035
Do you know what that i--
Do you know what this is?

163
00:07:38,125 --> 00:07:40,455
This is a 386 Gateway 2000 PC...

164
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:42,964
- Shh!
-...with a floppy drive!

165
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,507
Oh, you gorgeous antique!

166
00:07:50,262 --> 00:07:54,472
Yes! Okay, according to
the library network,

167
00:07:54,558 --> 00:07:58,058
here is a list of all the books
he's taken out over the years.

168
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,895
- Whoa.
-[Eliot] What?

169
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,242
That's... a lot of books.

170
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,700
[Breanna] <i>Ten thousand
over 30 years is about one a day.</i>

171
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:11,580
Can you narrow it down
just a teeny bit?

172
00:08:11,658 --> 00:08:14,078
Okay, breaking it down
by the card catalog,

173
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:17,411
it's mostly fiction.
Uh, mystery-slash-detective...

174
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,037
<i>Action adventure, horror-slash-fantasy...</i>

175
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:21,875
paranormal romance<i>.</i>

176
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000
[Harry] Guy checked out
<i>Shogun</i> a dozen times.

177
00:08:24,087 --> 00:08:26,837
Thing's like a brick.
Must be an Olympic-level reader.

178
00:08:26,924 --> 00:08:29,224
What is our story gonna be?

179
00:08:29,301 --> 00:08:31,851
For our librarian to be hero for the day,

180
00:08:31,929 --> 00:08:36,309
I don't think a sprawling saga
of feudal Japan is gonna work for us.

181
00:08:36,391 --> 00:08:38,811
[chuckles] Hm.

182
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:40,604
Although I do have a really nice kimono.

183
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:42,147
Ah.

184
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:43,611
- So do I.
-[gasps]

185
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:45,320
That I don't want to see.

186
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,860
Well...

187
00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:48,404
Should I get it?

188
00:08:51,823 --> 00:08:53,913
Hey! What are you doing in here?

189
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:55,122
Get up! You can't be in here.
Pick it up. Let's go.

190
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,122
Excuse me, sir!

191
00:08:57,204 --> 00:09:00,374
This is a public library. He has just as
much right to be here as you do.

192
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:03,037
- Come on.
- Take your hands off of him.

193
00:09:03,126 --> 00:09:04,166
What about my rights?

194
00:09:04,253 --> 00:09:05,503
I pay my taxes.

195
00:09:05,587 --> 00:09:06,877
So you can just mind your--

196
00:09:09,508 --> 00:09:10,758
Leave.

197
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:15,309
You good?

198
00:09:16,181 --> 00:09:17,471
Thank you for your service.

199
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,687
As if the homeless
don't have enough to worry about.

200
00:09:22,354 --> 00:09:24,904
Well, you librarians got a lot
on your plate, huh?

201
00:09:24,982 --> 00:09:26,862
- Man, you have no idea.
- Uh-huh.

202
00:09:26,942 --> 00:09:28,152
However...

203
00:09:28,235 --> 00:09:31,565
What we like to do here
is recommend good books.

204
00:09:31,655 --> 00:09:34,445
So, what can I do for you today?

205
00:09:34,533 --> 00:09:35,623
Oh.

206
00:09:35,701 --> 00:09:37,491
Uh...

207
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:38,787
Hmm.

208
00:09:39,413 --> 00:09:41,253
What were you guys
even talking about all that time?

209
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:43,041
The kind of stories that we both like.

210
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,875
The unlikely hero at the wrong place
at the wrong time,

211
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:47,881
up against impossible odds.

212
00:09:47,963 --> 00:09:50,973
So going on a starship with a plucky
sidekick ain't gonna cut it for this guy.

213
00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:51,879
Nope.

214
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:55,887
We're gonna give Mr. Blanche
a pulse-pounding spy adventure.

215
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,233
[camera shutter clicks]

216
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:12,743
[projectile sounds]

217
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:15,321
Huh. I like the science of sounds.

218
00:10:15,407 --> 00:10:17,487
Maybe a bit louder,
more paper bits flying out.

219
00:10:17,576 --> 00:10:18,446
Copy that!

220
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:21,745
Representative Agent!

221
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:22,710
[operator] <i>Press one for reservation.</i>

222
00:10:22,789 --> 00:10:24,959
If you go out and get me a helicopter,
we can do it at the docks.

223
00:10:25,042 --> 00:10:27,422
- In a cigarette boat.
-[operator] <i>Press two for directions.</i>

224
00:10:27,502 --> 00:10:29,092
- Agent!
<i>-Press one.</i>

225
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:30,011
Agent!

226
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:34,724
[engine revving]

227
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:39,805
Oh! He got a red one!
It's really flashy!

228
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:43,603
But it's Christmassy.

229
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:47,015
Ah, there's my director.
I have a little question about the script.

230
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:49,315
It's a story of honor and treachery.

231
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:53,199
When a spy's betrayed,
it's up to a small-town librarian

232
00:10:53,278 --> 00:10:54,488
to complete the mission and save the day.

233
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:56,161
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that.
And I love all that.

234
00:10:56,239 --> 00:10:57,819
My question has to do with this.

235
00:10:57,908 --> 00:10:59,078
Our Mr. Wilson enters.

236
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,239
Yes, but where am I coming from,
what just happened,

237
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:02,828
how do I feel about it?

238
00:11:02,913 --> 00:11:05,003
Oh, you just flew in
from Berlin on a G-IV,

239
00:11:05,082 --> 00:11:08,632
and you radiate the confidence
of a man secure in his convictions.

240
00:11:09,628 --> 00:11:11,588
[Sophie]
Breanna, put the button cam down.

241
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:14,764
Right. Tomorrow's showtime.

242
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,511
I needn't remind you

243
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,683
that our mark isn't driven by greed,
revenge, or fear,

244
00:11:18,762 --> 00:11:20,312
the normal buttons we push.

245
00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:22,059
This is a simple man
living a simple life,

246
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:25,100
but this makes it infinitely more
difficult for us to deceive him.

247
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,645
So we've all got to be
on top of our game. Any questions?

248
00:11:27,729 --> 00:11:29,979
I hired three of my buddies
from the service.

249
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,815
They're playing the stunt fighters.
Can I get six?

250
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:34,901
If you can get me a free helicopter,
otherwise, no.

251
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:39,236
Ooh! What if things get too exciting
for Mr. Blanche, and he, you know--

252
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:41,204
[grunts and chokes]

253
00:11:41,284 --> 00:11:42,704
Ooh! We need a safe word.

254
00:11:43,203 --> 00:11:45,463
- A safe word's when things get too hot.
- Well, I--

255
00:11:45,539 --> 00:11:47,459
Yeah, we know what it is.

256
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:50,631
Eliot, actually, you're gonna be
the one that knows if he's in distress,

257
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,000
so you should choose.

258
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:56,127
I know. Okay. It's-- can't be something
out of a spy story, so...

259
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:57,506
- Pickle.
- Peanut butter.

260
00:11:57,592 --> 00:11:59,262
Uh, Winnebago.

261
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:01,845
Right. There you go.

262
00:12:01,930 --> 00:12:05,810
So if Eliot says "Winnebago," we abort.
Any other questions?

263
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:08,647
No.

264
00:12:16,987 --> 00:12:18,607
-[door closes]
-[Eliot panting]

265
00:12:18,697 --> 00:12:20,777
Ah, here's the hero.

266
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:22,736
Told you that was a page-turner.

267
00:12:22,826 --> 00:12:24,406
Did you come back for another?

268
00:12:27,289 --> 00:12:28,329
I need your help.

269
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:29,535
[Eliot panting]

270
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:35,054
Time to tell the tale.

271
00:12:37,299 --> 00:12:39,259
[Blanche] You need to go
to the hospital.

272
00:12:39,342 --> 00:12:42,352
No. No. It's just a graze.

273
00:12:42,429 --> 00:12:45,059
No doctors. They'll find me there.

274
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,350
-[grunts]
- Who's "they"?

275
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:47,983
Who attacked you?

276
00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:50,189
It doesn't matter, okay?

277
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:52,480
You can tell me,
or you can tell the police.

278
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:54,231
Your choice.

279
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:59,740
This is the pivotal moment in any con.

280
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:01,571
It's bigger than the blow-off and ascend.

281
00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:06,826
It's the moment when you just,
you push the mark right to the edge

282
00:13:06,912 --> 00:13:09,582
to convince him the story
you're telling him is true.

283
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:13,787
It's called "The Convincer."
You ready?

284
00:13:17,506 --> 00:13:18,666
[Eliot, through comms]
<i>All right.</i>

285
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:21,427
- You want the truth?
- Yes.

286
00:13:23,261 --> 00:13:24,301
I'm a spy.

287
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,675
I've been staying in a safe house
on the outskirts of town.

288
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:31,437
I was waiting to make a dead drop
on some intel,

289
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,310
but I was compromised.

290
00:13:33,396 --> 00:13:35,476
And if I don't get this to my caseworker,

291
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:39,105
innocent people are gonna die.

292
00:13:41,738 --> 00:13:43,198
Will you help me?

Come on!

[Sophie] He's in.

296
00:13:57,128 --> 00:14:00,258
Damn, Eliot. You know, I thought that
little raspy world-weary thing you did

297
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,680
was kinda played, but Gramps bought it!

298
00:14:03,552 --> 00:14:04,892
All right, get in.

299
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:07,509
This is my car here.

No, no, no. See, the people
who are looking for you,

00:14:10,141 --> 00:14:11,231
they know what you're driving.

That's it!

Yeah-oh! [laughs]

311
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:43,876
That was a little unexpected

00:14:43,967 --> 00:14:45,337
Be careful, Eliot.

Thanks for doing this for us.

Oh, I'm not just doing it for you.

315
00:14:51,349 --> 00:14:52,599
I mean...

316
00:14:52,684 --> 00:14:54,524
I'm doing it for Nate also.

317
00:14:54,603 --> 00:14:56,063
He would've liked this stuff, huh?

318

00:23:35,665 --> 00:23:36,915
She didn't send me.

478
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:40,044
Who you workin' for now?

479
00:23:40,128 --> 00:23:42,208
You're in no position to ask.

480
00:23:42,296 --> 00:23:46,466
And before you start lying, my team's
already decrypted the flash drive.

481
00:23:46,551 --> 00:23:48,511
I know it's not the real Ledger.

482
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:50,764
I don't know what you're talking about.

483
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:54,597
That chili recipe is gold.
Gold, I tell ya.

484
00:23:54,684 --> 00:23:57,484
[chuckles] Most of us thought
Copperhead was dead.

485
00:23:57,562 --> 00:23:59,192
And in just a few days,
you managed to find him,

486
00:23:59,272 --> 00:24:00,902
reactivate him, and get the Ledger.

487
00:24:01,482 --> 00:24:02,652
Impressive.

488
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,403
Now where is it?

489
00:24:05,570 --> 00:24:06,450
You're right.

490
00:24:06,529 --> 00:24:09,239
We found the Rattlesnake guy and...

491
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:12,793
I have what you want in my truck.

492
00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:15,199
Relax, boys. I'll get it.

493
00:24:15,288 --> 00:24:17,458
Mr. Kelsey, the kit, please.

494
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,172
T-Truth serum?

495
00:24:21,252 --> 00:24:24,512
[voice breaking] I've already had
every kind they've ever made.

496
00:24:24,589 --> 00:24:26,219
It's standard O.P.

497
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:29,049
You'd know that
if you took the time to hire

498
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:30,385
the quality guys you should--

499
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:32,509
Hell, I bet ICE wouldn't even
hire these cats.

500
00:24:35,099 --> 00:24:37,889
It's very rude of you to keep
harping on my staff's inadequacies

501
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:39,977
when you won't come on board
and teach them.

502
00:24:41,856 --> 00:24:42,896
Unless...

503
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:46,324
Well, then.

504
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,250
[grunts]

505
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:09,011
[sighs] We had the perfect con.
A Christmas spy caper.

506
00:25:09,091 --> 00:25:11,261
And then the mark had to ruin it
by being a real spy.

507
00:25:11,344 --> 00:25:15,684
Breanna, any luck plugging in
Mr. Blanche's face into the DoD database

508
00:25:15,765 --> 00:25:17,475
you're not supposed to have access to?

509
00:25:17,558 --> 00:25:19,688
Uh, yeah. So they used to call him
Copperhead,

510
00:25:19,769 --> 00:25:21,269
and this dude was fire.

511
00:25:21,354 --> 00:25:23,614
I mean, black bag ops, extractions.

512
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:27,149
His name pops up on dozens of highly
redacted, hella top secret documents.

513
00:25:27,235 --> 00:25:29,445
Then 30 years ago, he just vanishes.

514
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:31,318
Exactly around the time Robert Blanche

515
00:25:31,405 --> 00:25:33,985
came into existence
as a small-town librarian.

516
00:25:34,075 --> 00:25:35,155
[Breanna] Yes.

517
00:25:40,289 --> 00:25:41,579
How does that help us find Eliot?

518
00:25:41,666 --> 00:25:43,126
Short answer is, it doesn't.

519
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:44,709
I think we need to come to terms
with the idea

520
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:46,504
that maybe Eliot wasn't the target.

521
00:25:46,587 --> 00:25:50,547
You mean, he was just an unlikely hero
in the wrong place at the wrong time.

522
00:25:50,633 --> 00:25:51,803
[Blanche] Some hero.

523
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:55,716
Now unless you want a bullet,

524
00:25:55,805 --> 00:25:59,265
I suggest you tell me exactly
who the hell you people are

525
00:25:59,350 --> 00:26:01,850
and why you've been trying
to destroy my life.

526
00:26:06,524 --> 00:26:09,694
When Copperhead disappeared,
he took a retirement package.

527
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:13,069
A cache of information about
certain people who've since risen

528
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:15,235
to positions of considerable power.

529
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:19,004
Yesterday's warlords
are now today's titans of industry.

530
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:21,458
And even leaders of nations.

531
00:26:21,539 --> 00:26:23,919
They called it "The Ledger."

532
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,210
More blackmail material for you.

533
00:26:26,294 --> 00:26:28,634
Most people thought the Ledger
ended up in a shallow grave

534
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:30,423
along with Copperhead himself.

535
00:26:30,506 --> 00:26:32,376
No one was even looking for him anymore

536
00:26:32,466 --> 00:26:35,386
until the tail that I put on you
snapped his picture by accident.

537
00:26:36,137 --> 00:26:37,427
Merry Christmas to me.

538
00:26:38,014 --> 00:26:40,934
I assume you're running a con
to get the Ledger, but...

539
00:26:41,017 --> 00:26:42,557
perhaps I was mistaken.

540
00:26:42,643 --> 00:26:46,233
So, if you don't know
where the Ledger is...

541
00:26:47,356 --> 00:26:48,356
where's Copperhead?

542
00:26:48,858 --> 00:26:50,818
I'm not gonna tell--
I'm not gonna tell you.

543
00:26:51,736 --> 00:26:53,896
I wouldn't tell you
if I knew where he was.

544
00:26:55,489 --> 00:26:57,869
Right now I'm just looking
at all the pretty colors.

545
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,160
Mm. It's called Red Haze.

546
00:27:00,244 --> 00:27:01,834
"Red Haze."

547
00:27:01,912 --> 00:27:05,962
Reacts with the neurochemicals in your
brain to heighten memory and emotion.

548
00:27:06,042 --> 00:27:08,462
If I just leave you sitting there,
you could be bombarded

549
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:10,634
by random bad memories.

550
00:27:10,713 --> 00:27:13,673
But if I knew your most traumatic
experience,

551
00:27:13,758 --> 00:27:15,048
I can just say...

552
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,390
"Operation Kansas."

553
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,387
[grunts]

554
00:27:26,854 --> 00:27:28,814
They call it "PTSD in a bottle."

555
00:27:32,777 --> 00:27:34,197
[grunts]

556
00:27:37,907 --> 00:27:40,117
A <i>Christmas</i> present.

557
00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:42,621
Yup. How'd we do?

558
00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:45,623
[sighs] Well, your fake story
was pretty good.

559
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:49,496
Of course, a true hero
would have to die at the end.

560
00:27:49,585 --> 00:27:51,995
As I'd love to continue discussing
Joseph Campbell

561
00:27:52,088 --> 00:27:53,668
and the hero's journey all day long,

562
00:27:53,756 --> 00:27:55,876
but can I raise the point
that Eliot is still MIA?

563
00:27:55,966 --> 00:27:58,886
Yeah, and it's kinda your fault, so...
any idea who did it?

564
00:27:59,595 --> 00:28:02,175
Well, their fighting styles
were all over the map,

565
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,064
so I'd say that they were private.

566
00:28:04,141 --> 00:28:07,231
But I couldn't begin to tell you
who the major players are these days.

567
00:28:07,311 --> 00:28:08,561
R.I.Z.

568
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:09,726
Who's that?

569
00:28:09,814 --> 00:28:11,484
Private security company more powerful

570
00:28:11,565 --> 00:28:13,565
than some countries'
intelligence agencies.

571
00:28:13,651 --> 00:28:15,071
We've dealt with them before.

572
00:28:15,152 --> 00:28:18,282
Our group of super secret bad guys
with zero digital footprint?

573
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:19,914
They'll be easy to find.

574
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,200
Try the Flanders Group.

575
00:28:22,827 --> 00:28:26,497
It's a shell company
that R.I.Z. sometimes uses.

576
00:28:26,580 --> 00:28:29,040
And you know this because...?

577
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:31,165
You used them at your old firm.

578
00:28:31,252 --> 00:28:33,462
Holding out on us again, Mr. Wilson.

579
00:28:33,546 --> 00:28:38,716
Okay, the Flanders Group rents space
at an office park outside of town.

580
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:40,221
Well, thanks for your help, Mis--

581
00:28:41,429 --> 00:28:42,759
Wonderful.

582
00:28:42,847 --> 00:28:45,767
You had to go and tell him
it was his fault that Eliot got nicked.

583
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:48,270
What? He's a super spy, right?

584
00:28:48,352 --> 00:28:49,942
I don't know,
maybe he <i>Mission Impossibles</i> in

585
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:51,020
and gets Eliot out.

586
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:53,225
I'm not betting Eliot's life on a maybe,

587
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:55,435
and I'm not letting a man
with stage four cancer

588
00:28:55,526 --> 00:28:58,236
get killed on a job we guilted him into.

589
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,820
Let's go get the truck.

590
00:29:00,614 --> 00:29:02,284
Mr. Wilson!

591
00:29:02,366 --> 00:29:04,986
Stay here in case Mr. Blanche comes back.

592
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:06,247
We'll speak later.

593
00:29:09,957 --> 00:29:11,497
[screams]

594
00:29:11,584 --> 00:29:12,964
[grunts and pants]

595
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,212
Operation Kansas
happened at Christmastime,

596
00:29:16,297 --> 00:29:17,797
didn't it?

597
00:29:18,883 --> 00:29:21,553
Holidays must be so difficult for you.

598
00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:24,505
Is that why you're reluctant
to spend them with your father?

599
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:27,637
How long has it been
since you saw him last?

600
00:29:29,226 --> 00:29:30,636
Don't...

601
00:29:31,145 --> 00:29:34,185
His friend from Vietnam
has invited you to join them.

602
00:29:34,273 --> 00:29:35,573
Very sweet of him.

603
00:29:35,649 --> 00:29:38,189
All you have to do to make it stop

604
00:29:38,277 --> 00:29:40,067
is give me Copperhead.

605
00:29:40,529 --> 00:29:42,779
Mr. Kelsey has the antidote
ready and waiting.

606
00:29:42,865 --> 00:29:45,275
Yeah. Yeah.

607
00:29:45,367 --> 00:29:48,577
[mumbles]

608
00:29:49,288 --> 00:29:50,748
It's...

609
00:29:50,831 --> 00:29:52,041
three...

610
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,634
tablespoons of chopped garlic.

611
00:29:55,461 --> 00:29:57,711
One teaspoon of smoked paprika.

612
00:29:57,796 --> 00:29:59,546
Typical RTI tactics.

613
00:29:59,632 --> 00:30:01,842
- Two table--
- We're gonna do it the hard way, then.

614
00:30:01,926 --> 00:30:04,006
...of chili powder.

615
00:30:04,094 --> 00:30:07,104
Give him another dose.
Don't let the drug leave his system.

616
00:30:07,181 --> 00:30:09,351
...tablespoons of corn masa...

617
00:30:09,433 --> 00:30:13,903
you don't use corn starch,
you use corn masa...

618
00:30:17,024 --> 00:30:18,234
[grunts]

619
00:30:22,863 --> 00:30:23,993
[grunts]

620
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:28,945
[grunts]

621
00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:31,116
Parker's right.
The loading dock's the only way in.

622
00:30:31,872 --> 00:30:34,172
[Sophie] Problem.
There's a camera on the loading dock.

623
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:37,290
Okay, I can disable that remotely,
but that is gonna take some time.

624
00:30:37,378 --> 00:30:39,918
Sometimes the simplest solutions
are the best.

625
00:30:40,005 --> 00:30:40,915
Parker!

626
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:50,601
[Breanna] <i>Stop!
The camera's blocked now.</i>

627
00:30:58,023 --> 00:30:59,783
-[man screams]
-[Blanche] Spencer, hang on.

628
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:01,358
- I'm almost done.
-[shouting]

629
00:31:01,443 --> 00:31:04,613
Hey, hey, hey, come on. Come on.
Let's get out of here.

630
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:07,780
Uniform?

631
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:09,826
[chuckles] New guy.

632
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:11,830
- Shined shoes.
- Bingo.

633
00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:14,792
- Weapon.
- Improvised snow globe.

634
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:15,753
Exit.

635
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:20,628
Parker, exit.

636
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:23,343
Loading docks. Just a straight shot
up across three junctions

637
00:31:23,424 --> 00:31:25,054
- and then down a teeny-tiny chute.
- Yeah.

638
00:31:25,134 --> 00:31:27,684
I'm not crazy about it either,
but she knows her vents.

639
00:31:36,186 --> 00:31:38,976
[Blanche] The saline bag should
flush out most of that Red Haze.

640
00:31:40,441 --> 00:31:43,361
[Eliot] This dragon lady,
she ain't gonna let up

641
00:31:43,444 --> 00:31:44,954
until she gets that Ledger.

642
00:31:45,029 --> 00:31:48,529
Well, that's a problem 'cause that Ledger
doesn't exist, not anymore.

643
00:31:48,616 --> 00:31:50,116
You destroyed it?

644
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,580
My last op went south,
and the Ledger was on a floppy disk

645
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:54,872
and it got destroyed.

646
00:31:54,955 --> 00:31:56,575
She ain't gonna buy that.

647
00:31:56,665 --> 00:31:57,825
Nobody would.

648
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,076
That's why I ran.

649
00:31:59,168 --> 00:32:00,668
I knew they'd never stop looking.

650
00:32:00,753 --> 00:32:02,553
- Who?
-[scoffs] You name it.

651
00:32:02,630 --> 00:32:06,380
The Company, OPEC, the Vatican.

652
00:32:06,467 --> 00:32:08,637
None of them would believe
that the Ledger was gone.

653
00:32:08,719 --> 00:32:10,259
That's why I had to hide in plain sight,

654
00:32:10,346 --> 00:32:12,176
become the kind of man that nobody sees.

655
00:32:12,264 --> 00:32:14,224
A small-town librarian.

656
00:32:14,308 --> 00:32:17,648
[sighs] Wasn't a bad plan.
Worked for 30 years but...

657
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,480
now, Maurice...

658
00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:23,534
all the people I know here,
they're never gonna be safe

659
00:32:23,609 --> 00:32:27,199
as long as R.I.Z.
thinks I have that Ledger.

660
00:32:28,530 --> 00:32:29,740
So let's give it to them.

661
00:32:29,823 --> 00:32:32,663
Um, was I the only one here
for the "it got destroyed" part?

662
00:32:32,743 --> 00:32:35,043
[Sophie]
It doesn't have to be the real one.

663
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,670
We just have to make
a convincing copy of the Ledger.

664
00:32:37,748 --> 00:32:40,918
How are you gonna do that?
We don't even know what was on it.

665
00:32:41,001 --> 00:32:42,711
Maybe we don't need to.

666
00:32:42,795 --> 00:32:46,545
You said that the Ledger was
on this 30-year-old floppy disk, right?

667
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:47,472
Yeah.

668
00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:49,969
Well, I'm sure you guys all know
they don't last that long.

669
00:32:50,052 --> 00:32:51,932
I can fake a dummy disk.

670
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:53,892
Just something that
will convince R.I.Z.

671
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,392
that the data broke down over time.

672
00:32:56,058 --> 00:32:58,688
All right, how would you
arrange the hand-off?

673
00:32:58,769 --> 00:32:59,809
I'm sure we don't want to go to

674
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:01,975
the suburban office park
of torture anymore.

675
00:33:02,523 --> 00:33:04,443
Oh, I might be able to help with that one.

676
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:06,935
That dragon lady,
I think I know why she's in town.

677
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:10,278
My old firm never took me off
the holiday party invite list.

678
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:13,203
I figured you'd want something fancy.

679
00:33:13,283 --> 00:33:14,543
[playful growl]

680
00:33:14,618 --> 00:33:18,328
Parker! Where did you get that?

681
00:33:19,581 --> 00:33:21,831
[scoffs] I bought it.

682
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:27,547
Now that Eliot's safe,
give me one good reason

683
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:30,881
why I shouldn't cut you loose
for holding out on us about R.I.Z.

684
00:33:30,968 --> 00:33:33,138
Hitter, hacker, grifter, thief...

685
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:34,220
tax lawyer.

686
00:33:34,304 --> 00:33:37,434
Didn't exactly come
with the flashiest resumé.

687
00:33:37,516 --> 00:33:40,346
You were afraid we wouldn't let you
aboard our little pirate ship.

688
00:33:40,436 --> 00:33:43,306
As far as R.I.Z. goes, my firm
hired them for data collection,

689
00:33:43,397 --> 00:33:45,187
and I never asked.

690
00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:48,864
It's becoming a pattern, your keeping
secrets from us, Mr. Wilson.

691
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:50,034
[woman] Sophie Devereaux?

692
00:33:50,863 --> 00:33:51,953
Alexandra Bligh.

693
00:33:52,990 --> 00:33:55,830
I was just about to check out
the signed auction. Care to join me?

694
00:33:57,494 --> 00:33:59,714
Oop. Just us girls.

695
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:01,668
I don't negotiate with amateurs.

696
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:04,083
It's fine.

697
00:34:04,168 --> 00:34:06,338
They don't murder people at private clubs.

698
00:34:06,420 --> 00:34:08,460
It's unbecoming to the members.

699
00:34:11,717 --> 00:34:15,967
Your team of misfit toys has been
making a lot of trouble for me.

700
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:18,314
At first, I found you sort of amusing.

701
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:20,020
But now I'm annoyed. [sighs]

702
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:24,654
Is that why you've been stalking us
and poking around in our servers?

703
00:34:24,730 --> 00:34:26,320
You just needed a good laugh.

704
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:28,028
You think I'm scared of you?

705
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:29,438
Either that or you're jealous.

706
00:34:29,526 --> 00:34:32,946
I mean, that's the only explanation I can
think of for your rather creepy behavior.

707
00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:34,820
[Alexandra]
Let's cut the chitchat, shall we?

708
00:34:34,907 --> 00:34:36,237
Is this the part where you tell me that

709
00:34:36,325 --> 00:34:38,575
this town isn't big enough
for the both of us?

710
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:39,540
Hardly.

711
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:43,670
Actually, I see no reason why Leverage
and R.I.Z. can't coexist quite happily.

712
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:45,209
We just need to agree on the terms.

713
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:47,632
- What terms?
- You give me Copperhead.

714
00:34:47,711 --> 00:34:49,961
He's still wanted in multiple countries.

715
00:34:50,047 --> 00:34:51,967
He'll fetch a lovely bounty.

716
00:34:52,049 --> 00:34:54,129
He's an old man with no power.

717
00:34:54,218 --> 00:34:55,588
You just want him for the Ledger.

718
00:34:55,677 --> 00:34:59,007
And I won't give it up
unless you let him go free and clear.

719
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:00,677
His freedom for the Ledger?

720
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:04,266
That's my offer. Delivery at the docks
tomorrow at 7 a.m.

721
00:35:04,353 --> 00:35:05,603
I'll text you the slip.

722
00:35:05,687 --> 00:35:07,227
And if I'm not interested?

723
00:35:07,314 --> 00:35:10,574
Well, if you want to get really annoyed,
just say no.

724
00:35:10,651 --> 00:35:13,151
And I'll sell it to
your biggest competitor.

725
00:35:28,836 --> 00:35:31,086
I looked for you in the bar.

726
00:35:31,171 --> 00:35:33,721
This is a surprise.

727
00:35:34,341 --> 00:35:36,841
The only quiet place to answer my emails.

728
00:35:36,927 --> 00:35:38,177
What are you doing here, Harry?

729
00:35:38,262 --> 00:35:40,562
Oh, maybe I'm the ghost of Christmas past.

730
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,019
Oh, come to show me the error of my ways.

731
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,440
[chuckles] When I was
a first-year associate,

732
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:47,399
you showed me how to
practice law the right way.

733
00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:51,609
With integrity, honor. Remember?

734
00:35:51,692 --> 00:35:52,692
Sure.

735
00:35:53,777 --> 00:35:55,447
Then you showed me a different way.

736
00:35:55,529 --> 00:35:56,819
You showed us all.

737
00:35:56,905 --> 00:35:58,365
I'm not like that anymore.

738
00:35:58,448 --> 00:36:01,198
[chuckles] Come on. Robin Hood!

739
00:36:01,285 --> 00:36:04,365
[chuckles] This is your post-breakdown
death penalty case.

740
00:36:04,454 --> 00:36:07,254
You scratched that itch.
It's time for you to come home.

741
00:36:07,332 --> 00:36:08,752
You think I'm a tourist?

742
00:36:08,834 --> 00:36:10,344
I've got new partners now.

743
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:13,303
You tell your new partners
about that fund you looted

744
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:14,550
for those plane crash victims?

745
00:36:15,424 --> 00:36:17,844
Tell them about that deal
you cut them for that narco?

746
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:20,176
The one that drops his rivals in acid.

747
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,350
You tell them about Crutchfield?

748
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:27,899
They have no idea who you really are.

749
00:36:28,478 --> 00:36:30,808
The choices I made cost me my marriage.

750
00:36:30,898 --> 00:36:32,608
Cost me my daughter.

751
00:36:33,317 --> 00:36:34,567
I don't have to keep making them.

752
00:36:34,651 --> 00:36:35,901
And neither do you.

753
00:36:37,279 --> 00:36:39,069
It wouldn't take much for you
to be a hero.

754
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:41,575
Just walk away.

755
00:36:44,995 --> 00:36:47,535
You didn't get that invitation by mistake.

756
00:36:49,291 --> 00:36:51,791
I've got your office ready
and waiting for you, Harry.

757
00:36:51,877 --> 00:36:53,247
[clears throat] See you soon.

758
00:37:05,974 --> 00:37:07,524
You think they're actually gonna buy this?

759
00:37:07,601 --> 00:37:09,141
If Hardison's... [clears throat]

760
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:12,357
if Breanna says it's gonna work,
it'll work.

761
00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:14,646
That stuff really did
a number on you, huh?

762
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:17,243
That and knowing what buttons to push.

763
00:37:17,319 --> 00:37:18,699
Operation Kansas.

764
00:37:19,655 --> 00:37:23,575
I heard it over their comms.
I don't mean to pry.

765
00:37:23,659 --> 00:37:26,079
Can't be easy
keeping that kind of stuff down.

766
00:37:26,161 --> 00:37:28,331
Well... you know, the work helps.

767
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:30,293
Keeps the mind busy.

768
00:37:30,374 --> 00:37:34,544
Like you and your-- what,
these 10,000 books you've read?

769
00:37:37,130 --> 00:37:39,380
The cancer, man.

770
00:37:39,466 --> 00:37:41,336
Why aren't you seeking treatment?

771
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:43,796
That's not how I want to go out.

772
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:45,557
You-- you... [chuckles]

773
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:48,274
That sounds exactly like my old man.

774
00:37:48,350 --> 00:37:50,270
Is he a stubborn ass, too?

775
00:37:50,352 --> 00:37:51,522
Yeah...

776
00:37:53,146 --> 00:37:55,856
I haven't spoken to him since I was 18.

777
00:37:57,651 --> 00:37:59,111
I feel like I...

778
00:37:59,194 --> 00:38:01,154
waited too long to...

779
00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,293
I feel like I've waited too long.

780
00:38:12,416 --> 00:38:14,536
Like an old man in a library.

781
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:18,759
[sighs]

782
00:38:20,799 --> 00:38:21,879
Okay.

783
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:23,507
How long till the hand-off at the docks?

784
00:38:23,593 --> 00:38:24,853
Two hours.

785
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:27,854
That can't be good.

786
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:30,481
- The hell? Guess he got tired of waiting.
- Mm-hmm.

787
00:38:30,559 --> 00:38:33,309
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
They're here? Already?

788
00:38:33,395 --> 00:38:34,855
Mr. Wilson, prepare to go on the offense.

789
00:38:35,689 --> 00:38:38,529
And, Breanna, looks like we're
gonna need that convincer after all.

790
00:38:38,608 --> 00:38:39,818
Yeah, uh, queuing up.

791
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:51,707
Everybody ready?

792
00:38:57,377 --> 00:38:58,667

Get the damn lights back on!

797
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:19,274
Hey, how's it going?

Yeah, you better use
both of you, come here!

806
00:40:07,030 --> 00:40:08,410
[screaming and grunting]

807
00:40:08,490 --> 00:40:10,370
Get back! Back!

[grunts]

00:40:12,953 --> 00:40:13,793
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

811
00:40:26,842 --> 00:40:27,842
Blanche!

812
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:29,386
Don't you press-- Don't you--

813
00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:31,929
[high-pitched beeping]

814
00:40:32,472 --> 00:40:33,602
Ahh!

815
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:34,807
Ahh!

816
00:40:34,891 --> 00:40:35,811
Ahh!

817
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:37,732
[man] Get the disk.
It's on him somewhere.

818
00:40:37,811 --> 00:40:41,521
[grunting]

819
00:40:42,482 --> 00:40:44,532
Blanche! Blanche! Blanche!

820
00:40:44,609 --> 00:40:47,199
Blanche! Blanche!
Come on, don't do this, man.

821
00:40:47,279 --> 00:40:50,119
Why did you do that?
Help! Help!

822
00:40:50,198 --> 00:40:52,658
Don't do this, man.
Blanche! Blanche!

823
00:40:52,742 --> 00:40:55,622
Come on! Help!

824
00:40:57,914 --> 00:41:00,584
So, no Ledger.

825
00:41:00,667 --> 00:41:02,417
And no Copperhead.

826
00:41:02,502 --> 00:41:03,712
They fired first.

827
00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:06,125
[grunts]

828
00:41:06,214 --> 00:41:08,224
[Alexandra]
He's worth nothing to me dead.

829
00:41:09,634 --> 00:41:11,054
You're terminated.

830
00:41:11,136 --> 00:41:13,006
[pants] No. No.

831
00:41:13,096 --> 00:41:15,596
Oh, for heaven's sake,
I'm not gonna kill you.

832
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:17,981
This is a business.

833
00:41:24,399 --> 00:41:26,569
I'd remind you of the NDA you signed.

834
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:28,201
Violate it, and I shall have no choice

835
00:41:28,278 --> 00:41:30,858
but to reveal your
juvenile justice record,

836
00:41:30,947 --> 00:41:32,157
army court-martial,

837
00:41:32,908 --> 00:41:35,618
and that rather
unspeakable incident in Reno.

838
00:41:39,664 --> 00:41:42,214
[car starts and pulls away]

839
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:44,882
Just finished the sweep. No bugs.

840
00:41:46,213 --> 00:41:47,463
[sighs]

841
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:49,587
You hear that? You're clear.

842
00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:52,547
We're just lucky
they found the disk right away

843
00:41:52,636 --> 00:41:54,386
and didn't stumble on this thing.

844
00:41:54,471 --> 00:41:56,771
All right, Mr. Blanche,
this is not gonna hurt a bit.

845
00:41:56,848 --> 00:41:58,928
I just need this about right here.

846
00:41:59,017 --> 00:42:00,557
Fold that up and we thank you!

847
00:42:01,478 --> 00:42:02,348
You're set.

848
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:06,068
Yeah, we're also lucky
that they all use the same guns.

849
00:42:06,149 --> 00:42:08,739
[gunshots]

850
00:42:13,949 --> 00:42:15,989
And that nobody looks
at their clips during a firefight.

851

[Eliot chuckles]

852
00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:22,080
And like a true hero,
he is resurrected.

853
00:42:22,165 --> 00:42:24,075
But dead to the rest of the world.

854
00:42:24,167 --> 00:42:26,247
Congratulations, Mr. Blanche.

855
00:42:26,336 --> 00:42:27,876
You've got a new chapter to write.

856
00:42:27,963 --> 00:42:28,883
Thank you.

857
00:42:28,964 --> 00:42:30,724
Hey, would you check this one out for me?

858
00:42:30,799 --> 00:42:32,009
Sure.

859
00:42:34,427 --> 00:42:35,637
How did you figure it out?

860
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,470
You check that out every December.

861
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:41,425
Which is strange for a 1,200-page book
that doesn't exactly scream "Christmas."

862
00:42:41,518 --> 00:42:44,268
But as it turns out, a book needs to be
checked out at least once a year

863
00:42:44,354 --> 00:42:46,864
to stay in circulation
in the Kenner Public Library.

864
00:42:46,940 --> 00:42:48,860
I've read plenty of books more than once.

865
00:42:48,942 --> 00:42:52,452
Yeah, but that one's about a lonely hero
in an unfamiliar land.

866
00:42:52,529 --> 00:42:53,699
It was a big deal a long time ago.

867
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:56,950
Kind of the perfect book for
a librarian to look after for 30 years.

868
00:42:57,534 --> 00:42:59,124
Well, I did tell one truth.

869
00:42:59,202 --> 00:43:03,212
I never looked at this thing.
Not a single time, not once.

870
00:43:03,290 --> 00:43:04,830
Wait, whoa, hold on a second.

871
00:43:04,916 --> 00:43:07,706
That has dirt on
the point-zero-zero-zero-one percent,

872
00:43:07,794 --> 00:43:09,344
and you never even looked at it?

873
00:43:10,255 --> 00:43:12,125
Much more of a fiction man myself.

874
00:43:12,799 --> 00:43:16,259
[sighs] It's sad that I've wasted
30 years of my life guarding this thing.

875
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:17,684
No.

876
00:43:18,763 --> 00:43:19,763
You weren't guarding it.

877
00:43:21,474 --> 00:43:24,024
You were protecting everyone
that walked through that door,

878
00:43:24,686 --> 00:43:26,096
or was chased in.

879
00:43:27,731 --> 00:43:29,071
You saved lives.

880
00:43:30,775 --> 00:43:32,065
You changed others.

881
00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:35,613
I can't think of a better life spent.

882
00:43:39,701 --> 00:43:41,081
Now, see, that's a real bucket list.

883
00:43:41,619 --> 00:43:42,999
You don't have to hotwire it.

884
00:43:46,499 --> 00:43:48,669
Well, this is for you.

885
00:43:48,752 --> 00:43:50,712
- Hm.
- You give--?

886
00:43:51,838 --> 00:43:52,708
[Blanche] And, hey...

887
00:43:53,548 --> 00:43:55,428
Remember that thing that we talked about?

888
00:43:57,344 --> 00:43:58,354
Don't wait.

889
00:44:02,849 --> 00:44:04,519
Isn't that car a rental?

890
00:44:04,601 --> 00:44:06,811
And there goes the budget.

891

["The First Noel" plays on gramophone]

892
00:44:18,114 --> 00:44:20,874
Oh! I got you all
a little somethin' somethin'.

893
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:22,200
That's yours on top.

894
00:44:25,622 --> 00:44:27,422
For Aspen. Goes to your daughter.

895
00:44:28,208 --> 00:44:29,668
Well, she didn't invite me.

896
00:44:29,751 --> 00:44:31,961
Well, neither did we.
It didn't stop you.

897
00:44:32,045 --> 00:44:35,045
The Mr. Wilson we know
is very persistent.

898
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:38,295
Thank you.

899
00:44:39,135 --> 00:44:40,465
Yours is the bottom.

900

- Yeah.
- It's kinda heavy.

How did you know?

905

Well, I'm nothing if not observant.

906
00:45:24,681 --> 00:45:27,771
Speaking of old tech,
what was on that floppy?

907
00:45:28,977 --> 00:45:31,057
Oh, unreadable. Yeah.

908
00:45:31,146 --> 00:45:33,186
Turns out I was right.
Thirty years is too long.

909
00:45:33,273 --> 00:45:35,573
Hmm. So the Ledger was a myth after all?

910
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:38,360
Probably best it stays that way.
