Original subtitles

Louis, where you go?

Me will get Jared.

- Me come help you? - No... I got it. I got it.

You not gonna say something about Keesen?

Yeah, I don't know why he had to die.

Because he was a fucking snitch.

That's why.

Because maybe he could've fucked this whole thing up.

Maybe he did fuck this whole thing up.

Didn't your Auntie Mahabir say

this kidnapping was supposed to make everything all better?

What's your point, Xavier?

Well, you don't look like you're doing any better.

I got it, Xav.

See, what I don't understand

is why my auntie insists on 1.11.

Not 1, not midnight.

- 1.11. - Why anything, Aked?

Ain't none of this make sense if you ask me.

Shooting up pickney

- in a crowded park... - Hey.

I know.

What I don't understand...

is why we had three shovels...

and only two of them used.

I would encourage you to be quiet

until INC Fong is finished.

Pete.

Do you know why we called you in?

If you're not firing me, then no.

Washington Square Park. Last night.

AINC Broward told me

you guys made the decision to spend personal off department time.

No, I... Listen, sir.

It was completely my own discretion...

This was a mutual choice.

Two of the three unmarks were out.

The third one was in the shop.

I told her to use her car, and we'd invoice for mileage.

Well, I wish you'd have stayed longer.

Just after 1.00am.

1.11 to be exact.

You left at midnight, I'm told.

There was apparently a shooting.

The father of a kidnapped child

appears to have failed to make a ransom.

Yeah. NYPD is yet to release details

but they're putting together an interagency task force

with the FBI and, hopefully, us.

Us?

Inspector Broward told them

you had a mutual cooperator who might have had eyes on it.

Oh, I'm sorry. Manny told who what?

I mentioned to NYPD

that one of our cooperators in the insurance whack-a-bum stuff

might have been involved in this kidnapping event.

Wait. Can we just... I'm sorry.

Can we first start with the phrase "mutual cooperator"?

Because I think there's a little bit of a misunderstanding...

This might be a serious break for us.

- Okay? - Us as in mutual.

- Oh, Jesus. - Inspector Harmony.

- Inspector Broward. - I mean, it's just like...

Yes.

There is a chance the operatives last night in the park

are also the people we've been trying to get an angle on

out in Richmond Hill.

So it looks like a botched kidnapping.

Possible gunshot but no body and no further ransom demands.

Parking enforcement official

heard a pop sound at exactly 1.11am, called it in.

The people she described as suspicious

could be those of your cooperator.

1.11am.

Why don't you two have a chat?

Let me know after you talk to your guy.

Thanks, Peter. Sorry.

Midnight?

You tell him that so it doesn't look like

you ordered me off within minutes of the actual event?

Enjoy what may very well be your last fucking days.

I was thinking about private security.

- At least a temporary... - Don't. I've already paid Joey.

Who's upstate with Jared?

Yeah, about that, how long do we...

Well, I told Joey maybe tomorrow night.

Once things settle

and we can be sure they won't come back

if they realize their mistake.

- Not if but when. - Right.

Which is why I was thinking maybe, you know...

we install a system, maybe cameras.

You do have a doorman.

I just think, in case, you know...

if for some reason, it is more targeted.

I know we said no more work.

You okay? Hon?

Any news on the boy?

- I don't... - Targeted?

- By who? - Who?

- That's the question. - Yeah.

Well, that's what we gotta figure out.

And why? Why us?

Why my casino account?

Hey, Dr. Prestwich said one every six hours.

Just have them. You don't need to take them.

You okay?

Is there something else going on?

You mean more than all this?

Right. Yeah. Sorry.

Hey, Siri. Search contacts for Charisse.

You'll need to unlock your iPhone first.

So...

So people think I'm...

dead?

Yes.

Which is why we need to call your parents.

Let them know you're safe.

They got to be worried sick.

Jared.

We need to call them.

Yeah, actually...

I think I'd like to wait on that.

I think you're in shock.

You've had a serious trauma

and we need to call them.

Yeah, I just...

This might sound weird

but I think it's gonna be a whole, big thing.

I just wanna prepare myself a little.

Postmates.

Look, you gotta understand something about my parents.

They're really rich and...

they've always acted like they don't want me around.

And now they can see what it's like to not have me around.

Trust me, this is good for them.

Where the fuck is Natalia anyway, huh?

I've been calling her.

My own fiancee won't answer my calls.

This is real fucking convenient.

You know where she at?

Mr. Paul say get rest.

We still have morning meeting tomorrow.

I love how you the guy getting the texts now.

Hey, I never asked for any of this, you know.

Just leave me out of this, Xavier.

Hey. What you do, boy?

I gotta take a walk.

What?

Aked right.

Your eyes going everywhere.

Oh, yeah? You should talk.

Aked.

This is my nephew. Isn't he as I said he is?

Very handsome. Yes.

- Auntie. - Hey.

Imagine I'm giving you a great big hug right now, my dear.

- Okay. - Aked.

This is a weekend of celebration

and I was curious if you knew anything about this.

My appointment was two hours ago.

It's not like her to miss.

It's a weekend of celebration.

I would hate to have to replace her.

I will call her.

I know you will. Thank you.

Our pain is over now. Over forever.

Thanks in great part to you.

I'm happy to hear that.

Come on. Be brave...

That's right. That's right. Come on!

That's it, that's it! Ameena! Ameena!

- Offside! - All right. Good hustle!

- Good hustle. - What you know about offside?

Hey, offside, she said.

Everybody listen to Hannah.

- Go get the ball! - Go...

Hey.

Thank you for coming.

Go inside there.

So listen.

I wanted to give you my personal apologies

for the way it ended last night in Washington Square.

All right? It came from above me.

Just so you know. I'm not like her.

- Yes, sir. - All right.

I'm not kidding, Garmen!

If you go get the barbecue, they're closing in 20 minutes!

Hannah-Estelle, I know.

Life is a series of little loyalty tests.

Moment to moment, you have to make a choice.

Who to follow and who to trust.

So far, two time, you did what I asked you to do

and you did it well.

So...

Why you're here.

I want to give you this.

Don't spend it all on your little girlfriend, right?

- Why you give me this? - Because you earned it.

You're the only one who earned it.

Where your pal, Louis? You heard from him?

He the informer, right?

How about his sister, Natalia?

Still not sure who you're loyal to, huh?

Maybe me, maybe your friend and his sister.

I tell Savi not to talk she business in front of the masseuse

because me not like she, me not trust she

but Savi, she don't listen.

Also, she spoke to the INS lawyer

and they think they can extend your visa.

Welcome.

Are you done with the American dream already?

Just want to go back GT.

Oh, you think you can go home

after the mess you put yourself in with Mahabir?

I don't know.

If you... if you do, you might need protection.

I might need some too.

Wait.

You wanna go home?

Can we have a conversation, you and me?

About what?

The future.

Xavier, I don't know about this.

I just got a bonus. That's all.

I just want to share it.

I thought you said you work for a lady.

I do.

Do you sell drugs for her?

- Tell me. - No.

No, I do not do that.

Am I interrupting?

Just looking at Citizen app footage from the park last night.

From the back, quite likely my guy.

Good.

Because I spoke with Agent Roan Jessup, Midtown FBI.

We're in.

And your cooperator's the linchpin.

Will he talk to the task force?

My guess is only through me.

Good. Keep it that way.

I don't want them doing an end around on us.

I emailed you the police report.

Meantime, can you get downtown?

Well, well, aren't we all task force-y and diverse?

Inspector Melody Harmony, USPIS.

You must be FBI man, Roan Jessup?

- Am I that obvious? - Yes.

- And that makes you... - Detective Brian Sanders, NYPD.

Pete Fong speaks very highly of you.

All kidding aside, is that true?

Yeah.

I'm actually not kidding. Is that...

Yeah.

- Should we? - Okay. Come on.

So, NYPD is looking at a potential homicide, of course.

But what are you guys in this for?

Well, some of the players

may or may not overlap with an old FBI cold case.

- So we're... - Grasping for straws.

I was gonna say trying all angles, but sure.

Oh, and did I get that report correct?

That they kidnapped the wrong kid?

And did they kill him?

The husband missed the drop-off by something like two minutes.

They didn't even collect the $315,000.

The $314,159.

- Yeah, what's that about? - Well, it's not about the money.

Well, it's not only about the money.

And you know, obviously

we can't assign a patrol car specifically to one block.

Oh, of course, for sure.

I was just wondering if there was a way to...

I don't know, alert them as to...

Actually, yeah. I... I get it.

Our turn for some questions?

Yes. Please.

Well, the obvious one, of course, this boy...

the one they may have mistaken for yours.

Any idea who he is?

We know his name is Nicky.

I have a question.

Is there a chance this is just a scam?

You know, where they try to get money.

Do they tend to go to these lengths?

Lengths meaning?

Well, they cut an ear. I mean, a piece, it would appear.

I'm just wondering, you know, if maybe it's not as bad...

- Can you talk about the person... - Are you saying you don't know him?

You don't know the boy?

Well, we didn't see him.

We saw an ear only and part of a cheek.

So, did he have an accent? The guy on the phone?

I don't know. What kind?

I don't know. Maybe Guyanese?

Guyanese?

Does that mean something to you or...

Not really. It's just a... a rather specific place to pull out.

Are you sure you don't want anything? Coffee or water?

We're gonna wanna talk to your son when he gets back in town

but let's stay with the other boy.

Does anyone know who he is?

Not unless someone comes forward or we find the body.

Do we even know if he was shot?

All we have is someone heard a shot.

So you and your wife

- get home from a charity event... - Sam?

Do you mind if I check out your son's room?

- My son's room? - Around 8.30, 9.

- Yeah, just like a routine thing. - I don't really recall.

- Sure. - And...

- Nice. - It was your son's?

Do you actually mind if you came with me?

You know, kid's room.

I just don't want it to be weird.

- Okay. - How did they get his phone?

He lost his phone a few days ago.

You know that painting would be worth a lot more

if the head was on top of the body.

Actually, it wouldn't.

You know, I was joking about the painting.

It's screwed in too. You don't trust the cleaning lady?

You have a nice place.

How long did the remodel take?

A couple years.

Been talking about it for five or six, maybe.

Lived here for ten. Why?

How did that affect your marriage?

I'm sorry?

Oh, statistically, 12% of remodels end in divorce.

You know, once the project is done, there's nothing left to perfect.

And we're talking about this why?

What are you worried about with your husband?

What's he keeping from you?

I don't understand.

Are you sure?

Am I sure that

- I don't understand? Yes. - Yeah, because

I just can't figure out if he's trying to solve a problem

or if he's acting like he's trying to solve a problem

or if he's acting like he's acting like he's trying to solve a problem.

When exactly did your phone die?

As he was saying "walk to this..." something.

I don't know. Might have just been a hiss.

Circle maybe?

There was a chalk circle in the park. Could it have been that?

Another circle?

What do you mean?

The money amount.

Three, one, four, one, five, nine.

It's the circumference of a circle.

Yeah, I remember that from high school.

Well, a circle is often a thing

used in all sorts of shamanistic practices.

In Guyana, it's called the obeah.

And sometimes, they'll create like a barrier

to keep things in or out

or create a ritualized space for concentrated magic, for instance.

But it isn't usually used for such negative purposes.

But does that happen to you a lot, your phone dying on you?

No. Never.

Thanks again.

Bye, Sam.

So how much do you actually know about Guyana?

My grandfather came from Guyana, from Linden.

He moved to South Florida, married a Puerto Rican...

and I grew up in Jersey City.

So when they ask you a question

that you supposedly know the answer to

it's because you're a quarter Guyanese?

And your research consists of...

Calling my mother.

That is rich.

Yeah, you know what else is rich?

How much you think that remodel cost?

Well, I don't think it was the apartment

that they needed to take down to the studs.

Meaning?

They're all hiding shit.

I mean, the boy clearly snuck out last night

and who knows how many times he's done that?

And then the dad...

we asked him four times directly whether or not he knew the other kid

and he only ever responded with a question.

And then there's Sam.

What about her?

Guyana.

She clearly knows a lot more than she's telling us.

Yes. I'm trying to reach Detective Manny Broward.

I'm sorry, could you repeat that name, please?

Manfred Broward.

You can tell him Samantha Browne is calling.

He may know my last name as McCusker.

Just a moment.

Hello. Detective Broward is no longer with the department.

Can I connect you with anyone else?

No. Thank you.

Okay then.

- Hello? - Derek.

Voice from the past.

Yeah, thanks for getting back to me on a Sunday.

Well, the service said there was an emergency.

Everything okay?

Some clerical things.

Just need you to...

walk me through where we left off language wise last time.

Last time being

the paternity settlement from 16 years ago, you mean?

It sounds like you're in a place you can't talk.

Maybe call when you can and leave a few more details.

That work for you?

That's what I'm thinking.

Meantime, I'll have my secretary pull up the old files.

Meet in my office tomorrow. I'll shoot you some times.

That'd be great.

Manny.

- Manny! - Yeah?

When you were at the NYPD, did you know Detective Gene McCusker?

Yeah, we crossed paths occasionally.

Occasionally?

We shared some cases. Why?

Is he related to Jeffrey McCusker?

Yeah, they're brothers. Why?

Serious question. Why are you asking "why" so much?

Oh, my God.

Manny. Manny!

- Oh, my God, Louis. - Nat, Nat.

- I was so scared. - Don't touch me. My skin dirty.

Anybody calling you?

Aked be calling like crazy. Also Mrs. Mahabir.

But I didn't pick up any of them.

Hi, Jared.

I sorry we kidnap you.

And I sorry Aked did that to your ear.

He was wrong to do that.

Hey, Jared. I need to talk to my brother.

- Cool. - No.

I mean, I need to talk to him alone.

Something ain't right with that boy.

He don't wanna call his parents and say he okay.

He say they hate him and he don't wanna go home.

But they was gonna pay the money.

Hundreds of thousands for him?

That's why I'm saying something ain't right.

I say we take him back to the city and drop him off.

What you think?

No.

He just give us more trouble.

We plan for save he life

and he life saved.

Let we just end it now.

And then what? How we gonna get home?

They give way passport.

They never gonna give them back.

We need money for buy we way home.

And you're saying what? He the money?

I saying, he parents try for pay way before

so maybe they gonna try for pay way again.

So the kid we was trying to save from being kidnapped

we now kidnapping?

You stupid ass, you.

I don't know, man.

Did you come up with a plan for when after we save him?

Did you?

Yes, the plan I'm telling you right now!

Oh, shit. Yeah, they rolling.

- No, I think they playing... - Oh, fuck it.

I don't know who these people are, but...

They rehearsing again. They doing something.

I know what you want me to do.

- Come on, man. - I'm not gonna do it.

- Hold on, hold on. - Taking all day, man.

Hey, you guys. You know Clarence, right?

That new old guy?

Yeah, have you seen him?

We're supposed to play.

Yeah...

Yeah, I heard he was at the hospital.

Detective Sanders, Agent Jessup, and Inspector Harmony.

Miss Henrikson called to say her son, Nicky, might be missing.

I told her to come in and talk to you.

I pressed Miss Henrikson about who the father is.

She didn't wanna tell me.

- But it's high... - It's Derek Browne.

Oh, my bad. I stepped on your punchline?

It's obvious. Come on.

Why else are we all here?

And you can't talk about it?

Are you in some type of financial arrangement

that requires your silence?

Is this something that you know?

Something that I'm winging, but now that I said it

now that you're looking at me like that, am I wrong?

It's okay.

You can talk about it here.

Okay.

So...

my son, Nicholas, emancipated himself

just after he turned 16.

You mean he ran away.

Yes.

That.

How long ago was that?

Well, it couldn't have been that long ago.

- Couple of months. - We had an arrangement.

- I wouldn't turn him in. - Why?

I didn't want him to go into the system.

Because you were once in the system.

A long time ago. But, yes.

You were away from each other for months

and suddenly he's missing 24 hours, and you called the police.

- Why? - On Saturday, I wired him money...

but it's still at the money-wiring place

so you're scared.

Look, I don't... I don't have the mom gene.

I never did. I tried.

Yeah, that's... that's fine.

And you figured out an arrangement that works.

I mean, there's no judgment. Seriously.

Nicky gets these ideas

and then he builds on them.

He can be...

I don't think he knows right from wrong.

Your son has mental health issues is what you're saying.

I think so.

Do you know what kind?

It's a type of dissociative disorder.

Nicky once told me that he was gonna take care of me

the way that his father never could.

He can be somewhat...

obsessed with his father.

But the thing is that he's never actually met his father.

Does his father have something to do

with why Nicky is missing?

Ms. Henrikson...

we don't know.

But we want to, and when we do

I promise you that we will tell you.

In the meantime, you can shoot me your number.

And if you don't mind, your first name is...

It's Charisse.

Thank you.

So listen.

I think about it, and we actually do have an option.

But it's risky.

Outside.

I have a friend, Eloise.

But she does work now for Edward Chung.

He does bring people in and out the country

like Ms. Mahabir.

You wanna go to Edward Chung?

Eloise is my friend.

From back in the day.

She works for Edward Chung.

We have things we can offer him, Louis.

I know things.

Things I hear in Ms. Mahabir's house.

I can tell you things he not gonna hear anywhere else.

And she my friend.

At least I could try and call she.

Okay.

Okay, we'll wait.

Also, it's possible there would be a third person.

Louis's friend, Xavier.

He came here with him.

But we won't know for sure until after we talk to him.

So maybe three of us

but definitely two.

Eloise, thank you so much. Thank you.

Okay.

What? What she say?

She gonna call me tomorrow.

She say Mr. Chung don't trust a lot of people.

Especially those that work for Ms. Mahabir.

Fucking dick. It's the middle of the night. What the fuck?

You changed the locks?

Because you got three moves, Mel, and I know them all.

Well, this is the one where I come in and we make up.

If I want to do this again in two months, and again in four.

Let me guess, you turned your informant

and now you think you can do it to anyone.

I'm sorry, so you're the detective now?

No. You're just that obvious.

- I fucking saved you. - Don't.

You were miserable with Victoria.

I was a witness, Mel. Your witness.

And it still embarrasses me we met like that, so don't!

- Please. - Oh, my God.

I'm gonna close this door.

- What? - And if you cross it again

- even with words... - Carol, what?

Let me finish, bitch.

I will go ham.

And I know this isn't the me you think you know

but it has to be now.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm done. I'm sorry.

What...

Carol!

Carol! Come on! I said I was sorry.

You said you were sorry. Carol!

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Well, for the record, I broke up with you first.

Jesus.

'Bout Scotty Frank?

He has vault access.

Could probably get personnel codes.

Nah...

Frank's too dumb and too scared.

First place I went. What's his face?

Abrimonte.

Too smart.

Then who would have access to McCusker's accounts?

Are you fucking kidding me?

That dumb shit.

So, yeah. So...

some lady named something or other Mahabir.

She or somebody, I don't know

I guess, read something in People Magazine

that Chef Jeff comes into the casino a lot.

And her guy, Garmen Harry

called me to find out what his credit limit was.

Same Garmen Harry who's into us for what?

88K.

Let me guess.

Some of that ransom money was gonna be used

to pay down his debt, huh?

It was his idea.

I just figured I could help you guys get some of your money back.

Oh, so you were doing us a favor

when some lady

was so desperate she was willing to pay you 50K

for whatever fucking numbers you were gonna give her.

Which is privileged information

which pollutes my goddamn reputation, Ron.

I'm sorry.

Sy, I'm truly sorry.

Whatever.

We'll let the FBI work it out with you.

FBI?

There's a task force.

FBI, NYPD, and I believe Postal Inspectors.

This kidnapping is some kind of bonanza for all of them.

What? Why?

You'll have to let me know.

Good luck, Ron.

Sy.

Hey, Brenda, what's up?

Oh, my God! We had that press thing.

Is my dad there?

Okay. Have him start without me then.

Hey. I'm so sorry.

I just need one minute. Okay?

Dad! What are you doing?

Why are you not in there?

What's the charity?

I mean on the new book? The proceeds.

They're going to what charity? They're all gonna ask.

Ours. Service Kitchen.

And... And three others.

The Jose Andres one, and two more.

The ones we chose two months ago.

Those are just names, Sam. They're names of things.

You need to tell me what I need to remember.

- You know? Also... - What? That...

That's why you didn't start the meeting?

Maybe you could deign to look one or two up once in a while.

Just tell me to, and I will.

All right?

Oh, also. The USA Today guy.

You know the one that did the five questions

about whatever the fuck that was.

Is it Nick or Rick?

It's Richard something.

Are you sure?

Hi. I am so sorry.

We had a family emergency.

Everyone's good.

Basically, yeah.

Let's just say there are very few times

we relish talking to a gaggle of reporters.

So how did you go from a small, self-produced tomatillo sauce

and a handful of specialty stores to a national brand?

Very expensively.

Well, we got lucky on a couple of investments.

And he said, you know, "The heck with it!"

"Let's go all in on my dream."

- Well, that went really... - What the hell, Dad?

Next time just start the damn meeting.

Oh, come on, Sam.

You know that I don't like talking about my stuff.

Yeah, you don't like when you have to tone the words down

because you sound like a douche

when you say what you want people to print.

Oh, we were doing the tag team.

For the good of the brand.

No, do the "what, me worry" on them.

Oh, Sam.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Just...

I think I'm a little scared.

Yeah. I am too.

Hello?

A slice of Hawaiian pizza if you guess who this is.

Well, someone who knows I used to like Hawaiian pizza

which I haven't since law school. So...

Manny Broward.

Oh, my God. Detective Broward.

Well, it's Inspector Broward now.

I'm no longer a cop. I'm USPIS.

Wow, this is so weird.

I was just talking to a Postal Inspector.

I know.

And I was told you called my old job looking for me.

I bet I know why.

I thought the same thing you did.

Yeah, the kidnapping ends at a park

two blocks from your home.

The target is

Jeffrey McCusker's grandson.

Jeffrey, whose brother Gene was...

- I know. - Discharged

- I know. - Years ago

because of, you know.

Have you even spoken to him since?

Gene?

Gene McCusker wouldn't talk to me

if I was bringing him 20 more years of being 20.

Anyway, it's kind of a life's-too-short sort of thing.

The irony...

Saturday night...

I literally had someone at the park

who left right before it went down.

Yeah. It was just...

I'm sorry. Personal issues.

Leave it at that.

Was this Melanie Harmony?

Melody.

Her name is Melody Harmony?

Might explain a few things, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah. Well, she was...

She was a loose cannon.

Yeah, keep your wits about you.

She has a history of personal encroachment.

So...

you called because the kidnapping

has you thinking about the Guyana deal.

I wanna do the right thing.

Sam, what happened over 20 years ago

with your uncle is between you and me

and not relevant.

I protect my witnesses.

My informants, my sources.

I would think the past 20 years has proven that.

No, I get that. I'm sorry. I...

It still keeps me up sometimes.

Oh, come on.

I mean, I knew Gene should've known better.

- I don't think this... - No, and we were a one-off.

I mean, we were in, and we were out.

You gotta stop feeling sorry for Gene McCusker.

He got a cushy retirement.

Is it...

- His injury. His foot. - Yeah.

Is it true that that was self-inflicted?

He never went to jail.

He wasn't even charged.

He was protected by his own.

It is impressive

whatever you guys have done with this Chef Jeff thing.

You did the right thing.

Back then.

You did what you had to.

And everyone's fine.

Thanks for seeing me at such short notice.

Did you get a chance to...

I did look over the file, yes.

As for your initial question...

While Ms. Henrikson technically isn't allowed to seek you out

it's trickier with her son, Nicholas.

As he was a minor, a newborn at the time.

So...

The other question.

The reason I skipped the gym.

Right.

What if the mother was angry?

Which I would be.

And wanted to try and prove, I don't know, that maybe...

maybe on the night, on Saturday, I didn't... I don't know...

try hard enough.

You mean, could Ms. Henrikson assert somehow

- her child was killed because... - I don't even mean consciously.

Okay, on some level, you acted...

Or failed to act. I don't know.

Because why?

Because unconsciously

you thought it would've damaged your own life, let's say.

Is that... Is that what you're asking?

I'm not saying that happened. I don't know what happened.

I don't know how it happened, but people, you know

- they talk about... - Okay.

How people do things they're unaware of, consciously.

Derek, I'm gonna speak hypothetically for a moment.

If in the past a murder occurred...

Let me finish.

And you feel you may have been, again, in the past, a party...

- Please, let me finish, Derek. - I'm just saying, if on a level

I was even unaware of.

Derek, are you asking me

if she might have a legal case against you?

Or are you asking whether you have not legal

but maybe personal cause

to feel responsible for this child's death?

It's stupid, right?

No.

But it's a question more for a psychologist than an attorney.

Right.

Yeah.

So for three days, 16 years ago

you came into the club, and you said your name was Dave.

Don't Dave me now, Derek.

Yesterday, I was with the police.

And today you're here. So, what is going on?

Why are you suddenly in my life again?

Why were you at the police?

Is it because he didn't come home?

Derek. You have to fucking tell me what the fuck is going on.

My balance.

No, you do great.

- You're okay. - I don't get up ladders anymore.

Well, thank God for...

Uncle Gene. Aunt Cindy.

I was hoping maybe we could all... chat.

I... I don't understand.

You think my presence will help him?

Maybe. I mean, he's pretty rattled.

My brother's rattled?

Well, I'm sure you can appreciate us...

No, Sam, Sam.

Listen, you're a pretty girl.

You've always been smart.

You're certainly too smart

to do whatever the hell it is you do for my brother.

But don't patronize me with bullshit.

You think just because he fucked me...

- No, he vehemently denies it. - No, you know he fucked me.

He knows he fucked me.

That I had something to do

with whatever the fuck happened in the park?

- Seriously? - All right. You know what?

- Gene. Gene. - Are you kidding me?

Samantha, it was really good to see you, but I think...

Cindy, this is a recon mission.

Isn't it, Sam? This is recon.

This is... Let's see if old Uncle Gene has a tell

before you open up the whole can of worms, right?

I used to do this for a living.

"My dad is rattled."

Which one of them sent you?

Your mom or your dad?

You know, I'd hate to be your son.

With you still having to raise your goddamn parents.

Chef Jeff is a fraud.

My father works very hard.

Well, isn't that nice that he has a chance to do that?

Maybe someday you'll ask him

why does he have to run all over the place

trying to prove what a good man he is?

Ask him that.

Ask him who was there for him in the beginning.

You know? Before the whole world was kissing his ass

and then ask him where all of that

- damn money came from. - All right. Gene, that's enough.

- Stop. - What are you really

trying to find, Sam?

Why the hell are you really here?

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

Sorry I came. Sorry, Aunt Cindy.

Hey, you wanna know the...

wanna know the biggest difference between Jeffrey and me?

I said nothing about him.

- Gene! - Now, I was good cop.

I made a mistake.

And I paid for it.

But I have said nothing.

All of these years, and I still won't.

Because I am not him.

I understand.

It's about time.

Where's Louis?

Well, ain't that the question of the day?

We haven't seen him since you dropped him off.

Him or Natalia.

There's another informer.

And who that be?

Well, guess what?

It's not Keesen.

Louis?

Not just.

What you doing, Aked?

Googling Jared Browne with an E.

Fucking rich white kid, Saturday night

Washington Square Park, famous grandfather

bullet in the head.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Not an article.

Not even a fucking New York Post.

Nah.

Since when Jared got long hair like this?

Aked, what you doing?

- You want jumbie catch we? - What the fuck is your problem?

- What's wrong with you? - Don't touch no dead person direct.

Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

What?

What?

What if Louis ain't want me to see Jared's body...

because there wasn't any Jared's body?
