- Hey.
- Hi

- Weren't we eating out ?
- I decided I was in the mood to cook.

Oh, yeah ?

If I move in though,
I'm bringing my knives.

The ones you have suck.

You mean when you move in.

- How was work ?
- Hectic.

But I think I figured out a way
to fix that.

What's this ?

You're kidding ?

Aruba ?

You better go home and pack.
We're leaving tomorrow night.

- For how long ?
- Two weeks.

The limo's picking you up
at your place at 7:00.

You're welcome.

Wait, I don't
understand though.

How did you get
time off from work ?

They'll manage.

- Oh, stove ?
- Off.

Alex Stark, 35, Caucasian.

His girlfriend says he owns
a major cleaning service

that contracts out to office buildings
on Wall Street.

Who called it in ?

The girlfriend.
She was staying over the night.

When she woke up
he'd already left for work.

She let herself out,
came back this afternoon,

- found the blood on the floor.
- Right.

It's a drilled lock,
looks like a forced entry.

Yeah, someone went to a lot
of trouble to get in here.

But none of the valuables
seem to be touched.

Could be a kidnapping.

Do you know how much he's worth ?

No, not yet.
But we do know that he paid cash

for two plane tickets to Aruba,
leaving from La Guardia tonight.

Okay.

We should have our guys
contact Homeland Security.

Anybody that pays cash for
an airline ticket should raise a red flag.

Hey, Jack ?
Help me out ?

Here goes the security deposit

The blood on the floor--
do you think he's dead ?

We don't know.

Do you have any idea what your
boyfriend was keeping in the safe ?

Is that what was there ?

He had an A&B Locksmith
install it six months ago.

I have no idea
what he'd keep inside.

Cash, jewelry, drugs maybe ?

I've never seen
him do any.

But we've only been dating
for three months.

Whoever did this,

if they took the safe,
why would they hurt him ?

We need to know what kind of trouble
he could be in.

Alex had a problem
with one of his employees.

- When was this ?
- Three days ago.

We were meeting an old family
friend of his, Cynthia, for brunch.

Alex was coming
from work, but he was late.

And when he was a kid,
he was obsessed with rabbits.

The only thing his aunt could
get him to eat were carrots.

Well, he still really likes them.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's nice to talk to someone
who knows you so well.

- Hi, honey.
- Hi.

Alex, you're bleeding.

Are you okay ?

What happened ?

I'm fine.

I just got into it outside work
with one of the guys on the crew.

Oh, my God.

- Who ?
- This new hire--

Justin.

I guess he wasn't happy
with the hours I gave him.

- Did you call the police ?
- No.

Maybe you should.

No, I took care of it.
I fired the guy.

Everything's okay, baby.

I promise.

Is that Justin guy
why he went missing ?

It's possible.
Do you know his last name ?

No.

But you should talk to Alex's
crew chief, Gary.

What else can you tell
us about Cynthia ?

She was the closest thing
to family he had.

His parents died
when he was a kid.

He grew up with an aunt,
but she passed away a year ago.

Do you know how we can
get in touch with her ?

No

But her last name was Neuwirth.

- Gary ?
- Yeah.

Uh, I'm Special
Agent Spade.

This is Special Agent Taylor.
We're with the FBI.

Oh. Um, how can I help you ?

Can you tell us about a guy
that used to clean here named Justin ?

Oh, I never
had a Justin.

Uh, why ? What's
this all about ?

Alex Stark has gone missing.

Um, apparently, he fired a guy
named Justin from here.

Alex fired somebody ?

That's funny. He's only
worked here six months.

I barely trust him changing
the TP rolls around here.

Well, he says he's your boss.

Uh...

I guess it shouldn't
surprise me.

Why's that ?

It was pretty clear
the other night,

he wasn't very happy
with his job.

What the hell are you doing ?

Stock order forms ?

You know what would happen

if someone else
caught you looking at these things ?

I was just curious about
what goes on here.

Come on. You see the amount
of money they make here.

You never wondered
how they do it ?

Sure.

But it's none of my business

and it's none of yours either.

I'm sorry, Gary.

I just want to make
something of myself.

For me, and for Sara.

You want to follow a dream ?

Go to night school.

You want to keep this job,

take out the trash
like I pay you for.

I guess you got to report this,
don't you ?

We know Stark got
into a fight.

Do you have any idea
who it was with ?

No, I never saw any fight.

Well, we're going to need
an employee list.

- Can you do that for us ?
- Uh, I got one in my truck.

I'm guessing that fight
didn't happen here.

I'm going to set up a canvas
between this building and the restaurant.

So Stark may have been stealing
information from the investment bank.

His bank statements show big cash deposits
right after he got hired.

Well, nothing over $10,000.

He didn't want
the government to know.

And three days ago, he
emptied his account, $48,000.

Well, that could have been
in the safe.

Um, any, uh, any news
on Cynthia Neuwirth ?

There's no New York listings,
but I did find one in Boston.

So I have a call in to the local PD
to see if they can find her.

Go ahead.

You got a highlighter ?
Mine just quit.

Yeah, sure, help yourself.

"Aces aren't the only thing
that's wild.

Take a bet on me and let's see
if it pays off big."

I didn't realize
that was your type.

This site was
in Stark's browser history.

He visits at least
twice a week.

Why's he trolling personals
if his girlfriend's moving in ?

I tried emailing the women
he liked, in order to find out.

But I ended up getting
the same auto response

from every one of them,
"not interested."

Well, if they don't want to play
the game, why buy the personals ?

The ads were paid for
by a Cornell Foods.

It's a front for an
illegal poker club.

You can, uh, see the passwords
in the quotes there.

"Professional looking for love."

"Adventuress
seeking a good time."

You know, you really did
your homework on this.

Hey, you know,
vice did it for us.

They had to abort
their sting

when, uh, when he got pulled
for Homeland Security.

Right.

I don't know.

Illegal betting,
loan sharking.

We bust in, they're going to
clam up just on principle.

Why not go in undercover ?

We already know
this week's password.

And if Stark lost his shirt,

maybe some of the players are
still talking about it.

Yeah, and even if he didn't,
there might be somebody in there

that knows him better
than his girlfriend does.

You know, whoever goes in,

they can't wear
a weapon or a wire.

- Intel says security is really tight in there.
- Right.

We should notify NYPD
about what we're doing.

Hey, I'd be happy to go.

What ?

What you forget the last
time we played poker ?

You went all in with a 7-2.

- Sometimes it hits.
- When ?

So who's going to go in,

she asks, already
knowing the answer.

The next time
we're dealing

with an illegal chess operation,
it can be your turn.

Okay ?

Just be careful with
the government's money.

Why ? They're not.

I'm compassionate.

Empty your pockets
and turn around.

Just the phone and wallet.

Robert Caplin.

Never seen you before.

I'm a friend of Alex's.

This way.
Thank you.

He's good with Alex.

Changing $2,000.

- Can I get you a drink, sir ?
- Uh, Scotch neat.

Another Laphroaig.

Neat.

Hey. Any word from Jack
on the Bat phone ?

No, and I'm not expecting to
for a while.

It may take a few hands
to establish his cover.

Okay, so we're doing a pool.

How much money Jack is going
to lose while he's under.

So what can I put you down for ?

Pot's right, river card is...

five of clubs.

I'll raise it. Make it 80.

I don't think you have it.

Call.

Nice river.

- I guess it's not your lucky day.
- No, I guess not.

Where did you say you played before ?

There's a 20/40 up
on 114th Street.

Mm-hmm. I heard
that's a pretty loose game.

Um... Yeah.

Check to you, sir.

The bet is 40.

Sir ?

Sorry ?

The bet has been raised to 40.

Right. Right.

Um, I'm feeling
a little bit out of it.

Um, where's your bathroom ?

It's in the back.

Thank you.

Oh !

Wow, Jack can't seem
to catch a break, huh ?

You're the only one
who's backing him.

Do you really think
he's that good ?

Honestly, I just figured I'd go
for the long shot.

Well, risk big, win
big. I like it.

Uh, Danny.

Hey, Elena's here,

I'm going to put you
on speaker phone, okay ?

All right.

Tell us you got something
on the canvas.

All right.

I got Justin. Yeah.

I just spoke to a gallery owner
who witnessed a fight.

According to her, Stark took off

and she got the other guy's
information

because she was afraid
of getting sued.

Great, what's
Justin's last name ?

Uh, Ferarra, Justin Ferarra.

His address is
on West 78th Street.

Got him.

I'm going to have him
brought in.

All right, and one more thing.

I want to change my bet
about Jack.

No, sorry, you can't.

I wrote it in
Sharpie. Bye.

I know you work
for Brendan Dillon.

Who ?

You tell me
what he wants with me.

I have no idea what you're
talking about, lady.

You say you're Alex's friend,
and I've never seen you before.

And then you sit
at a table

that you've got no business at
just to get close to me.

Look, I met,
I met Alex at a bar.

We were talking about poker.

I asked him where was
a good place to play.

Do you want to live ?

You stop lying and tell
me what Brendan wants.

He's already got
Alex and my money.

What else does he want ?

I don't know !

Look, lady, I'll put the lotion in the basket, whatever it is you want. Just...

Do you want another one ? Do you ?

You tell me what
Brendan hired you to do.

Or I will empty this into you.

One.

- I don't know !
- Two.

Tell me about Cynthia Neuwirth.

Well, there's no listing,
but I did fine one in Boston.

- Three.
- Boston !

The contract came out of Boston.

Okay, good.

Did he hire you to kill me ?

Uh.

Answer me.

They wanted me
to secure you.

And once I did,
they wanted me to call,

then they tell me what to do.

What about Alex and my money ?

Oh.

There was two contracts.

There was two contracts.

I got you.

Look.

If you let me go, I promise,
I swear, that I will just,

I'll tell them
I couldn't find you. Okay ?

Just let me go.

No, you're going to help me.

How am I going to help you ?

You're going to pretend
like you did your job.

You're going to make
your phone call

and you're going to find out

what they want you
to do with me.

What if what they want
is a bullet in your head ?

Well, then that's
what I do to you.

I just want my partner
and my money back.

If I cross this Dillon guy,
I'm as good as dead anyway.

Well, you know
what Joe Torey says.

Oh, I don't know, what ?
Go Yankees ?

Win today.

And all he's got is George
Steinbrenner to worry about.

Not some crazy bitch
with a nail gun.

What's the number ?

Look, I'm just a contractor.

I'm freelance.

You kill me,

I take everything
I know with me.

If you want me to help,

you have to tell me
what's going on.

Justin Ferarra.

I'm Special Agent Johnson.

This is Special Agent Spade.

We'd like you to tell us

why you were fighting with
Alex Stark the other morning.

Is that his name ?

I bumped into him on the
sidewalk and he went crazy.

I was protecting myself.

Your wife tells us
you like to play poker.

She also told
us that she's so terrified

that the IRS is
going to show up,

that she was glad
to get rid of this.

It's got Stark's fingerprints
all over it.

And what else are we going to
find if we search your car ?

Blood ? Like the blood we found
in his apartment ?

You think I killed him ?

I know that you accosted him
outside that gallery.

Probably trying to get
the money back

that you lost playing poker.

Maybe it didn't end there.

He was losing money to me.

$3,000.

Then he called me one night,

saying he was ready
to pay me back.

What the hell is going
on here, Alex ?

You call me at 2:00 a.m.,
drag me down to where you work.

You said you need your
money back, right ?

Well, I got
something better.

Is this the guy, Alex ?

Because I really
got to get home.

Justin,
this is Cynthia, my boss.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's this ?

An overseas order to buy
two million shares of stock.

So what ?

The order's big enough

that when I execute it
tomorrow morning at 9:35,

the company stock is
going to jump.

Everyone who owns it
will make money.

So you give Cynthia
some money

to buy your shares right
at the open at 9:30.

She fills the order
for the 2 million.

The stock trades up.
You make a killing.

This is totally illegal, right ?

You told me you were bringing
someone serious.

I'm broke.

This is the only way
that I can pay you.

And I promise you,

that you're going to make
more than just your money back with this.

I'm going home.

- Sorry, Alex.
- Wait.

I can have it in a couple hours.

I wouldn't have known it was
a con, except I got greedy.

I went back the following
morning with an extra $5,000.

When I saw Stark
vacuuming the lobby, I knew.

Why didn't you confront
him then ?

There was a security
guard there.

So I waited until he left.

We got into it.

I told him if he didn't return
my money, I'd call the cops.

I got it back the next day.

Is this the woman you saw ?

Yeah.

Where did you and Stark meet ?

At a card club over
on Trinity Place.

Do you think he was scamming
some of the other customers ?

Sure.

Everyone loved
playing with him.

But I guess he was
losing on purpose.

- A con artist ?
- Yeah.

He told me he wanted
to sell his business and go back to college.

- And Cynthia knew about it ?
- It looks like they're partners.

Now bearing all that in mind,

is there anything you remember
that might help us ?

When I was coming back from the
bathroom at the restaurant,

I saw them arguing.

Cynthia said she was trying
to convince Alex

to file a police report,

but now I don't know.

Well, look, thank you
very much for your help.

I was so glad to find
someone who knew him.

I should have known something
was going on.

Why ?

The way she looked at him.

Justin Ferrara's
alibi checks out.

He was at a poker club
on Trinity Place.

Oh, here's what I got.

A woman matching Cynthia's
description is suspected

of real estate
and insurance scams

in Houston, Denver
and Chicago.

Well, do we know if she works
with a partner ?

No, but I'll bet she hooked up
with Stark

about seven months ago,

because that's when he quit
his data entry job.

Savach in organized crime

says Cynthia has been
a person of interest

because of her connection
with a Brendan Dillon.

Now he's into extortion
and possibly homicide.

Well, what's his connection
with Cynthia ?

She was laundering
his money

through a restaurant she managed
and skimming off the top.

Maybe Dillon took Stark to try
to get his money back.

I took him for 100 K,
and now that he's got Alex,

he's got 80 grand back.

Well, you could look of it
this way, you're up 20 grand.

Why don't you quit
while you're ahead ?

Because I don't like to lose.

So, you're going
to call your contact

and you're going to
help me get Alex back.

Or I'm going
to do more

than just nail your
hand to the chair.

What's the number ?

Yeah.

Hey, it's Bob.

What's up, Bob ?

I've got the target.

That's great,
that's great work.

So what do you want me to do ?

Where do you want me
to drop her off ?

So, everything went okay ?

Yeah, yeah, it's great.

I just want to get this
bitch off my hands.

Look, man, I didn't expect
you to call so soon.

Let me make a call
and I'll get back to you.

Just make it fast.

Good.

Now you're one step closer
to getting out of here.

How old were you when you
had your appendix out ?

What ?

I saw your scar.

I was 32.

What hospital, Bob ?

St. Vincent's.

Look, man, I didn't expect
you to call so soon.

Let me make a call
and I'll get back to you.

Just make it fast.

He's talking about a target
and a drop.

It sounds like a kidnapping.

He definitely referred
to the target as a woman.

All right.

He went in as a poker player,
not a kidnapper.

Why's he changing his cover ?

His cover must
have been blown.

Maybe by Brendan Dillon.

Look, I think we need
to raid the club.

No, no, no. I'm sure
Jack's got a plan.

Now there's a parking structure

near the poker club
on Hudson and West 14th.

Tell him that's
where the drop is.

Okay.

Yeah, well, now I owe you.

Thanks.

What ?

It took me about ten minutes
to figure out

your tell in the club.

You blink when you bluff.

You just did that
a minute ago on the phone.

What, you think I'm lying ?

Explain to me how you have
an appendectomy

at St. Vincent's hospital
without leaving a record.

Computer error, I don't know.

No, no, you used Alex's name.

You made me tell you
about Brendan,

and then that guy
on the phone...

...the phone
is helping you pretend

to be someone you're not.

Who are you ?

Who ?

I'm...

I... I work with the FBI.

Tech says that
Jack's phone

stopped pinging right
after we called him.

So either he's turned it
off or he's been made.

- Did he make any other calls before it went dead ? - No.

Look, I don't think we can wait
any longer on raiding the club.

All right.

Lean on vice for backup
and hit it.

Great.

FBI ! Keep your hands
where we can see them !

Get on the ground.

You, get on the ground now !

Why do you have a gun ?

I'm security.

Get up !

I'm going to ask you
a question, okay ?

I want to know if
you've seen this man.

I asked you a question.
Have you seen this man ?

I got nothing to say.

I'm going to ask you
one more time.

Have you seen him ?

- You won't do it.
- You have no idea what I will do.

Don't test me.

I didn't know he was a nark.

Seemed like he was just
a guy out to have some fun.

Hey.

You got to take it
somewhere else.

Sorry.

I guess we got a little
carried away.

Miss Neuwirth,
you know this guy ?

Well, we're kind
of on again off again.

I guess we're
back on tonight.

- I need help.
- All right, honey.

So, we've got to go.

Might be faster
to take him out the back.

All right, yeah.

Is he going to puke ?

Oh, my boy's all
bark, no bite.

He'll be fine.

Put him in her car
and that was it.

- Make and model ?
- Lexus ES, black.

Take him and put him on the bus
with the rest of them.

Dealer says that Cynthia
Neuwirth was here.

Yeah, well, that
security guy

said that Jack left with her,
and that he was wasted.

I think she drugged him.

What the hell
does she want with Jack ?

If you do this, the FBI
will be after you for the rest of your life.

Come on, it's 80 grand.

You've known the
guy ten months.

It's not worth it.

- I can't just leave you here.
- Sure you can.

I was looking for Alex Stark.

I'll stop.

It's not so simple.

- Are you sure ?
- Yes, there were two guys.

They were just parked right
in front of your apartment.

And you saw their faces ?

One guy had dark hair,
I think.

I don't know.
I didn't really get a good look.

Well, what about the tags ?

They're definitely
Massachusetts plates.

Oh, God, it's got to be Brendan.

Do you really
think it's him ?

- What are we going to do ?
- No, no, no.

You're not going to do anything.

He doesn't know you exist, and
we're going to keep it that way.

What about that investor
on the hook, huh ?

If he bites,
that's 80 grand.

- We could almost pay Dillon back.
- It's too risky.

- Cynthia.
- No, I told you what I did to him.

He's not going to be happy
with me just paying him back.

He's going to want to hurt me.

We could split up.

You lay low.

I can take care
of the last mark.

We take our nest egg,

we go, we set up shop somewhere
where its safe.

You would do that for me ?

Yes.

Cynthia, I was lost
before you saw me

that day at the coffee shop.

And yes, this is a strange way
to make a living.

But I love it.

And I wouldn't be doing it
if it weren't for you.

I owe you.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Please.

I know I can do this.

This isn't even
about the money, is it ?

It's about Alex.

I...

I won't let anything
happen to him.

It's complicated...

when you fall in love
with your partner.

He's not my partner.

He's my son.

Does Dillon know ?

No. He doesn't.
Nobody knows.

You must have been young.
How old were you ?

I was 17.

I couldn't deal
with the baby.

My sister took care of him.

What does he think
happened to you ?

My sister told him I was dead.

And when she died, I knew
I had to tell him the truth.

- Alex ?
- Yeah ?

I'm Cynthia Neuwirth.

Excuse me.

Hey. I'm just
heading over.

Yeah, but let me
call you back.

There's somebody here.

I'm sorry.
Um, do we know each other ?

I recognize you...
from your pictures.

I'm an old friend
of your aunt's

and your mother's.

- My aunt just died a few months ago.
- I know. I'm sorry.

- Um, how did you know them ?
- Elementary school.

I was in your
mother's class.

She got me into a lot
of trouble.

Do you have a minute ?

Can I buy you a coffee
or something ?

Well, you-you've got
someplace else to go.

No, they'll wait.

Please.

I wanted to tell him,
but I never could.

No, you dragged him
into the life.

I built a relationship
with him.

- Do you love your son ?
- Do I love him ?

I love my son !

Then why don't you...

why don't you let me go,
and you can tell him ?

Yeah. Yeah, you find him,
you send him to jail.

It's better
than finding him dead.

You know something.

You tell me
what you know.

Tell me !

There was blood
in his apartment.

Hey, you hear anything
from Boston PD ?

Yeah, all of Dillon's men
are accounted for.

He's not involved in this.
Who's that ?

It's a guy we picked up
at the poker club.

- Does he know anything ?
- We'll see.

He sold a cloned cell phone
to Stark last week.

All right.

Stark's phone is turned off
so we can't triangulate the signal,

but I was able to pull
some messages from his voice mailbox.

Alex, it's me.

You said you'll call when you have the money.

Is everything alright ?

Look, I'm really starting to worry
that something happened to you, okay ?

Meet me at the club, I'll wait there.
you just meet me there

if you get this.

The new message folder
was empty,

so someone's been listening
to them.

Okay, whoever accessed
these messages,

do you know where they
were calling from ?

Three different pay phones
in Long Island City.

Someone's being careful.

Hmm. Well, let's get an agent
out to the island.

If they call again,
maybe we can grab them.

Does Alex know your bank account
numbers, passwords, anything ?

No.

What's that got to do
with anything ?

Dillon could use
that information.

Use Alex as leverage
to get his money back.

What, a ransom ?

- So where's the call ?
- Who knows ?

How did Dillon find out about him
in the first place ?

I don't know.

Besides the car,

what else made you think
Dillon was on to you ?

No, that was it, nothing else.

When was this ?

Uh, last Friday.

What does it matter ?

Alex emptied out
his bank accounts two days before that.

That's impossible.

Wake up, lady.

You've been conned.

You said yourself there was
blood in Alex's apartment.

It's all part of the con.

Alex was counting on you
to go to the apartment.

He figured you'd put it
all on Dillon.

That you'd think
it was too risky and you'd...

But you don't show up
to the apartment.

The girlfriend does.

He just wanted to take off
with his girlfriend,

with your money.

He was just doing
what you taught him to do.

Yeah.

I should have told him
who I was.

There's still a chance.

Oh, no, it's a little,
it's a little late for that.

If he did all this
to take off with his girlfriend,

we can use her to get him here.

It's worth a shot.

Stark's girlfriend
is downstairs.

She claims that Jack called her,
said she was in danger,

and that she should head
straight to the FBI.

What ?

Guys, I got something
you want to hear.

This call came in a minute ago.

I work for Brendon Dillon.

What's Jack doing ?

I have your girlfriend.

Bring the money to Cynthia's
or she's dead.

He's setting up a trap hoping
that we're listening.

Maybe that's why he sent
Stark's girlfriend here.

Yeah, but we have a police setup
outside Cynthia's house.

He must mean somewhere else.

Well, where did this
call come in from ?

It was relayed from a tower
near the poker club.

Someone's checking
Stark's messages again

under a different address
in Long Island City.

It could be Stark.
We should grab him.

No, let's follow him.

I'm going to give the location
to Elena.

All right,
and I'll coordinate with P.D.

I'm still on his tail.
He just turned to an alley.

You are on parking three ?

Yeah, where are you ?

Yeah, i'm crossing 8th right now.

Okay, wait
I'll be there in 2 minutes, okay ?

I don't think I can wait. No.

I guess he got the call.

Why'd you help me ?

Win today, right ?

FBI !

Put your gun down !

Alex !

Put your gun down !

Where's Alex !

Get on the ground now !

We got him, Viv.

They got him.

We're gonna need a medic.

Hey.

I heard you took the long odds
on me.

Glad I was right.

Me, too.

Jack.

So Stark is ready
to go to booking,

but he's got a lot
of questions.

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

Is Sara all right ?

She's fine.

Cynthia worked you over
pretty good, huh ?

Look, I was just afraid

she was going to do the same
thing to me if I tried to leave.

All I wanted was to be able
to start over with Sara.

Yeah, well, that's
not going to happen.

Was she going to kill me ?

She was...

She just wanted her money back.
