Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Nova Vita.

[man on radio]N-48121, you are clear for landing.

[doctor] We cater to a very elite clientele,

people come here and they wanna have their nips and tucks

and recover privately.

[West] And you're sure you never saw Mark Davis

or Carter here to have surgery?

Not even a little nip here, a little tuck there?

Not by us they didn't.

Dave Johnson. One of your guys

told me to come and see you for work.

Have we met?

- Has he contacted Mrs. Davis? - [Nixon] No.

She's grieving, she's not going anywhere.

I don't think so.

I'll have Carter check with her again.

What are you guys doing here?

- [siren blares] - [Dave] How'd you find me?

[officer]Your license says you live in Las Vegas.

Go home, Mr. Harper.

Get him to sit down.

He needs to relax.

Just relax. Sit down, have a drink.

- Whoa. - Dave.

[West] This is Agent West.

I'm gonna need background on a company called Nova Vita

and a doctor there by the name of Dexter Lewis.

[Dave] ...I work with guys--

Were you looking for your family?

- [Simmons] What is she doing?- [Nixon]I don't know.

Tell him that's why you didn't want to come here.

Tell him his uncle lives in Echo Park.

[Nixon] Marina...

did you find something on Dave's body?

A clue? [Marina]No.

He was clean.

- [Jessica] Hey. - Hey.

How you holding up?

Um, I'm OK.

Been working on the nursery for the baby.

That's nice.

Keeps my mind off of things.

Good.

Hey, uh, I think you should take a look at this.

- What is it? - I don't know exactly.

I was able to find that island,

and I spoke to a doctor out there,

but it's all really strange.

There's not really much here.

That's the strange part.

There's a clinic on the island called Nova Vita.

I can't find anything about it.

There's no complaints, no missing tax filings.

Nothing.

So what are they hiding?

That's it, they're operating right out there in the open.

They're doing stem cell research and Botox,

whatever other surgeries they're claiming to do out there.

OK. Well, and you're obviously not buying in.

Your husband and Carter went out there,

and nobody can seem to tell me anything about it.

On top of that, nobody can tell me

how your husband came back from the island.

But don't you feel like that could be enough?

I don't know. But I was able to get an address of an LA office.

I'm gonna do some more diggingand see if I can find it.

[Jessica] OK.

You get anything with Carter?

No. He hasn't really said anything.

The name you gave us, Dexter.

It's the name of the doctor out on the island.

- [Jessica] So he does know? - [West] Doctor claims otherwise,

but if we go at Carter with this, he's gonna lawyer up.

OK, well, I'm gonna see if I can get him to talk about him.

OK, but...

Please, tread lightly.

I will.

Thanks.

Be careful.

See ya.

Wow. As I live and breathe.

It's my nephew, risen from the dead.

And you've come to see me.

Hi.

Monty, it's so nice to see you again.

Marina, it's been way too long.

Mm-hm. So sorry that we came a little out of the blue. [chuckles]

[Monty] Dave, uh, are you alright?

It's me, Monty.

Yeah. I'm...

I'm sorry, I... I had an accident.

I lost my memory.

Oh. Oh, no.

I-I didn't know.

How could you?

[chuckles]

Yes, you have a point.

Let's talk.

So you can't remember anything?

[Dave] Nothing.

Nothing about my past or my life...

or family.

Well, that could be a good thing.

What do you mean?

Well, you didn't come from the happiest upbringing.

The family, we're-we're not close.

- Is anyone else-- - Alive?

- Yeah. - Yes, in Europe someplace, I believe.

They were scattered to the wind.

Your father and Iwere the last two of the family

that still remained in the States,

or that's what I was told.

What about my mother?

[whispers] Bitch.

- What'd you say? Excuse me? - [Marina muttering]

No, no, no, wait a second.

Your mother was not a nice person.

I tried to convince my brother not to marry her.

She moved into his life like a gypsy.

[Nixon] Be more vague.

Don't go into too many details.

And her family?

I never met them.

- Never? - No.

- Not even the wedding? - No.

She played with his heart,

and she messed with his head.

She even claimed to be an orphan.

[Dave] You don't think she was?

[Monty] I... I don't think it matters.

When you were born,

it just seemed to make them drift apart

further and further.

I-I would see your father,

and he would have a smile and a happy face.

But I could see...

that it hurt him.

So they divorced?

- Um-- - No.

[Monty] No, they were, um...

uh, dead, before they could do that.

So now they're dead?

You know, as I remember,

they were married in Italy.

So their marriage may not even be legal.

Yeah, I think-- it's just overseas, it's not legal in America.

I don't know.

[exhales]

Do you have any photo of them... around?

Um... I'm-I'm sure there's a photo somewhere in here.

- [machine whirring] - [hammer pounding]

Where's Dave?

Didn't show up today.

Oh. Is he sick?

I don't know, he never called.

- Excuse me. - Yeah.

Hm.

- Hey. - [Devon] Hey.

Dad...

why are you always watching me?

That's my job.

If I was harsh about your mother, I apologize.

You were just being honest.

Honest is one man's point of view.

Yours may have been different.

Did they love me?

[scoffs]

How could you ask that?

Of course they did.

[sighs]

I...

I, uh...

I just wanted to make sure I was a good son, you know.

It's ridiculous.

Your father was so proud of you, as were we all.

We? How would you know that?

Your father spoke of it constantly.

He-he was always talking about the fact

that you made something of your life.

There's not much to show for it.

- There's some money. - Money, right.

Doesn't buy you everything.

Barely buys you material,

doesn't get you your life back.

Well, you have Marta, and she's gorgeous.

Who?

You mean Marina.

Oh, of course, Marina.

My mind just wanders.

You know, we're all getting older.

And, you know, I think that I'm gonna win that race.

Agent West, right?

Mr. Simmons is in here.

[Simmons] Agent West, welcome.Have a seat.

[West] Thank you.

[Simmons]What would the FBI like to know today?

I'll make every effort to help you with your...

- Investigation. - Investigation.

May I ask what it is you're investigating?

Mark Davis.

And I'm pretty sure your doctor over on Nova Vita

- already made a call. - Why do you say that?

A visit from the FBI tends to raise a few red flags.

Good point.

Yes, uh, he did call, but as I told you,

Mark Davis was not a client of ours.

Mm. I find that odd.

Yes, some of our patients are very private.

But let's face it, who wants to admit they've had surgery to look better?

[West] I get that.

Then what's odd?

If Mark Davis flew out to some island

and didn't meet with your doctor or anyone else,

what the hell was he doing on that secret island?

And what the hell happened to all of his money?

How would I know something about a stranger's money?

Don't know. That's why I came out.

You think that, um, someone on the island

stole Mr. Davis' money, but how?

See, that is the odd thing.

Nobody on Nova Vita had answers for anything.

I'll tell you what, I know they don't run the tightest ship out there.

I can share some of the blame for that.

After all, it's an island.

But I should make more of an effort to stay on top it.

I guess you can't be everywhere at once.

No, but I could crack the whip a little harder.

I'll ask some of my guys if they know anything,

see if I can at least get you some answers

or point you in the right direction.

- You'd do that? - Of course.

- I told you I would-- - Make every effort

to help with my investigation.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for coming in.

Thank you.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Monty] I hope I was of some help.

- You were. - I'm very sorry that I was unable to find

the photographs of your parents, but when I do,

I will have them sent to you.

Please.

Would you mind if I spoke to my nephew alone for a few minutes?

- Sure. - Thank you.

[clears throat]

Look, I-I to put you on the spot like this but...

- I need-- - How much?

About 100-grand would probably do it.

- Really? - Yeah, I, uh...

I ran the ponies with the wrong crowd.

Hey.

You... owe me.

You're father and his bitch wife, they were horrible parents.

I lied to you.

Now, let's just say you--

Hey, watch it.

You, I'll just take the 100-grand.

And then every month, 50-grand more,

for let's say...

the rest of my life.

You're a fucking piece of shit.

No, I'm part of your family.

Aren't you happy I'm back, David, huh?

Go on.

[door closes]

Well, then, guv'nor, how was that?

Who was that bloke anyway?

Take me to LAX.

[engine starts]

The FBI came to see me again.

Same guy, I assume. Right?

He was asking me questions about some doctor on the island

that you and Mark visited.

- Right - He said his name was Dexter,

which is the name that you mentioned.

Mm-mm.

Derek.

- You said Dexter. - Are you sure?

I guess I said Dexter then.

What else?

He said you Mark didn't fly home together.

- [scoffs] - Is that true?

Is that a serious question? No, it's definitely not true.

Because I was shown a video of you getting off the plane by yourself.

So I don't know what you saw, Jess,

but Mark was with me.

OK?

We came back together.

But why would the people on the island tell me that you flew home alone?

I have no fucking idea.

I have no idea, Jess.

But there was no one else on that runway when we left.

And Mark and I were on that plane together

What's with the fucking inquisition? Huh?

Same thing last time I was here.

You just keep questioning me like you don't believe me.

What the fuck is up with that, Jess?

Take someone else's word over mine?

I'm not taking anybody's word.

I just wanna know what happened to Mark.

Do you think that I don't want to?

Of course I do.

And if I could bring Mark back, I would.

But I can't.

I'm not blaming you.

You're not?

Is that a no?

- No. - OK. Good.

But I need to know what happened on Mark's last day, and I don't.

I can tell you this...

Whatever Mark did,

he had a reason.

Because he always did.

And whatever that reason was, it was to protect you.

I can guarantee you that.

Because that was Mark.

Let me talk to the FBI agent.

I can't ask you to do that.

You're not asking me to, I want to.

- I don't want you to. - Jess, just let me handle it.

You should be concerned with the baby

and getting yourself back together.

- OK? - Sure.

Shit. I gotta go.

Lunch tomorrow?

- Yeah. - Good.

Bye.

Your name is Mark Davis.

And I'm here to tell you about your old life,

so listen carefully.

You aren't whoever they told you.

You are actually me.

Apparently, they will changeour hair, our face,

our voice, everything.

Uh, this woman...

her name's Jessica...

and, uh, she's your wife.

The whole thing was gonna blow back on her, so...

uh, you did what you had to do.

It was the only way to keep her out of prison.

[door closes]

[clears throat]

- Hey. - Hey.

[sighs]

Good?

Yeah.

You?

Yeah?

[sighs]

I-I just had to go for a walk.

It's the third one on the right. [clears throat]

That's your favorite.

- This one? - Mm-hm.

How sad is this?

I don't even know my drink of choice.

Yeah.

I'm sure you'll like it.

Let's see.

You never told mewhat you thought of my parentswhen they were alive.

[Jessica] They were really nice.

But, honestly, we didn't see them that much.

What about yours?

[Jessica] Mine, uh...

died when I was young from cancer.

I'm sorry.

I'm-I'm sorry I didn't remember that.

[Marina]I put my-myself through school and, uh,

picked myself back up.

I mean, you always told me that's what you loved about me.

You said something to me last night.

What's that?

You whispered something in my ear.

What did you mean by it?

About getting you help?

No.

No, you said that--

I'm gonna take a shower.

You wanna come?

What are you doing?

I told you, I wanna take a shower.

Come on, it'll be fun.

[Dave] What is going on, Marina?

[whispering] You cannot tell them what I whispered to you.

Whoa, tell who?

The people who hired me.

They're listening. They hear everything,

they know everything.

[phone beeping]

- [Nixon] Yeah? - Sir, we have an issue.

Wh-who are you talking about, Marina?

I don't know.

OK. I don't know, they don't tell me anything.

I just know that they're worried about you.

Me? Why?

They think you're causing problems.

- What could I do? - Shh.

From what I put together,

you could potentially expose them.

This is... This is... [muttering] This is crazy.

I don't know what they're gonna do to me for telling you this.

[phone ringing]

- Who are they, Marina?! - Shh!

I don't know.

I don't know, OK.

They don't tell me anything.

I just know they're worried about you.

- Me? - [phone ringing]

Yeah. [Nixon]I need you to pop over to their room,

check on them.

- Why, what's up? -Do as you're told. No questions.

Fine.

They're paying you to be my wife?

We're just actors.

We got hired to play a role, Adam and I.

Are they watching us right now?

Yes. Phones, tablets, cameras.

They can tap in any time, in any room.

Jesus Christ.

[sighs]

You are a good man. I'm sorry.

I could not keep doing this.

What am I supposed to do now?

Just go. Get out.

Get out. Run.

I bought you time with the shower, but that's the best I can do.

What about you? I-I...

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm sorry. Go.

Go.

- OK. - Go, go.

Hello?

Where are you guys?

Hey. What are you doing here?

Where's Dave?

He's gone.

You didn't see him when you came in?

Shit, Marina!

Again?

[line trilling]

- Nixon. - [Nixon] Yeah?

He's gone. He took his phone... sir.

Sweep the hotel, locate the car, then report back.

Got it.

[phone beeps off]

Alright, hurry up. Let's go.

Put some clothes on.

Here, here, here and here, all the bolts have to be counter--

Give me a second.

I'm sorry, guys.

Wow. You have some nerve, new guy.

Look, I'm-I'm really sorry about yesterday.

I bet you are. Cost you your job.

See, I-I figure you'd say that.

I was just wondering if you could give me a second chance.

Hiring you, that was your second chance.

I see. I get it.

- Uh-- - Hold on.

Wait, wait, wait.

Just out of sheer curiosity,

what happened to you?

Family emergency.

- It's my son, he just, uh, hit his head-- - Ah, shit.

If you're going to lie,

please do not involve your boy.

OK, you're right.

You're right, nothing happened to my son.

Truth is, it's a tangled up tale.

I don't even understand it.

Not what a boss wants to hear.

You know where the door is.

No, look, you have every single right to fire me, I get it.

What if I tell you I can work for free.

That would make it worse.

See, because that puts you in the crazy column.

Why-why would anybody in their right mind do that?

I can't tell you.

But I-I can work for free.

I'm gonna have to pass. I'm sorry.

OK, hey...

- Whoa, easy, easy. - No, no. Hey.

Calm down.

That's it.

What's that?

That's $5,000.

That's for you.

Just, uh...

You just have to let me work in the house again.

But no questions asked.

- Five thousand? - Yes.

You'll get another $1,000 every day let me work.

Hey, guys.

Oh, wait a minute.

What are you doing, are you back?

Yes, sir.

Hey.

What are you running, come kind of charity here?

It won't happen again. Family emergency.

- His son got hurt. - I don't like him.

I do.

He's kind of growing on me.

[Smith] Did you do those follow-up interviews

with the witnesses on the bank jobs yet?

Not yet.

I'll get to 'em today.

I gotta file those by tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get to it. Don't worry about it.

What are you so happy about?

I'm feeling, uh...

feeling better.

Healthier than I have in a longtime.

Must be nice.

[door opens]

Agent West, may I have a word?

Sure thing, sir.

Good luck, kid.

[Simmons] Hello, Xavier. Thank you for seeing me.

It's been a long time.

[Xavier] From what I've been hearing,

I actually expected to see you sooner.

[Simmons] We're handling it.

[Xavier] You wouldn't be sitting here right now, Simmons.

[Simmons] When we started all this,

I just assumed we'd get in,

make some money, get out.

A handful of clients, at best.

I never imagined we'd grow to where we are today.

And I spent years rubbing elbows

with women and men of power in the city to ensure that growth.

And I put together a pretty good team

to make sure we continued to grow.

You hired thugs.

Mercenaries, ex-military, dishonorably discharged,

and took us in a direction

that is jeopardizing everything you and I are attempting to accomplish.

Don't blame everything on me.

This isn't the first client we've had a problem with, remember?

I took care of that problem then.

And I also implemented the extra step

of wiping their memories clean moving forward.

To avoid having that problem again.

Well, then why are you and I having this conversation if there's no issue?

Because it's not just about giving someone a new identity, passport, whatever.

We are messing with people's minds,

and it's a delicate procedure.

One that makes it impossible to foresee every possible problem.

You might be right, pal.

But what we have now, all of this,

it's bigger than you and me now.

And what worries me,

is I might find myself in a situation

where I might not be able to save you.

OK then.

Can we start using level five procedures?

Yes, you can.

But I'm warning you,

that once you start level five,

you put yourself right in the middle of all that collateral damage.

That can happen.

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of it.

I wouldn't want you to get your suit dirty.

- What have you gotten us into? - I'm sorry?

I just got a call that you've been looking into this Davis guy.

- Sir, I can-- - No, wait. Save it.

I know you've been snooping around again.

- Sir, just let me explain - Oh, you're gonna have to,

because I just lied to my boss.

Told him he was misinformed.

- You did that for me? - Yeah, I did.

[sighs]

[grunts]

Something's not adding up here.

Why are all these people calling from Washington about my worst agent?

I don't know yet, sir.

I was afraid you were gonna say something stupid like that.

If I can find the missing money,

I guarantee I can tell you exactly what's going on.

But what are the chances of that?

Not... terrible.

Uh-uh, you're gonna have to do better than that.

- Sir. - I just bought you a week, maybe ten days.

And when this gets pushed back on us, and it will,

I'm not gonna be able to protect you again.

So I'm out?

If you don't give me some real ammo

to push back with, yeah, I'm afraid so.

Well, get to it.

Thank you, sir.

[Jessica] You're back.

I am.

I was worried my dad might've scared you way.

No, I'm tougher than that.

You missed a spot.

Where?

Up there.

You got me.

Is it true that you really lost your wife?

Sorry. [scoffs]

God, I don't know why I just said that.

No... it's OK.

My mind is, um, just-- I've been crazy lately is all, and I'm...

Are you kidding?

You're glowing.

Um... I'm sorry.

- No, no, no, no, I-- - I didn't mean anything.

I would rather be glowing than...

puking in a bucket in front of you.

[soft chuckle]

Thanks for not doing that.

So... your wife.

[Dave sighs]

It's true.

I lost her.

It's been the worst nightmare I could ever go through.

I could understand that.

Have you lost someone?

I have.

I'm sorry.

You know, people try to be helpful, but it's just... hard.

Well, it must be good having your family around at times like these.

- Mm-hm. - Sometimes I wake up at night,

to see if she's next to me.

Well, I shouldn't say sometimes, I should say often.

Waking up is the worst.

Was he a good man?

Yeah.

What do you miss most about him?

[soft chuckle]

Everything.

- Everything? - Mm-hm.

- Hm. - Coming home to him,

having dinner and just the way he did everything.

It's... I miss it all.

A rare breed.

Mm-hm.

What ticks you off?

[both chuckle]

He didn't have the best taste in art.

- [laughs] - I'm sorry.

I didn't know how to break the tension.

No, it's-it's good for me to laugh.

[doorbell rings]

Expecting company?

Yes, my-my friend, Carter.

So... excuse me.

- [Dave] You said something to me last night. - [Marina]What's that?

[Dave] You whispered somethingin my ear.

What did you mean by it?

[Marina] About getting you help?

[Dave] No, you said that--

[Marina] I'm gonna take a shower.

You wanna come?

So?

We were just trying to help!

I-I didn't do anything that would've tipped him off.

He asked a question right after that statement,

and then you guys took a really long shower.

We had sex.

Just like you pay me to do.

Was it good? Did he like that?

Because... he bolted right after that.

I'm not your watchdog. You are.

What'd you tell him?

I don't know anything!

We were just told to watch the guy.

It's all we were told.

I just don't know if I believe you guys anymore.

Alright, you know what, I'm sick of this shit.

- I quit. Let's go. - Sit down.

Sit the fuck down.

You're not done.

There's still work to be done.

He's gone.

How're we supposed to do our job if he's not even around?

We have ways of making the world a very small place.

We just need your help.

No.

Well, I guess I'm done here.

Because you don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say.

Perhaps, Chinzano can explain it better than I.

[snaps fingers]

You had the chance...

to have a much...

nicer conversation with Mr. Nixon.

And now...

[chuckles] You gotta talk to me.

And I'm...

I'm not good at talking.

He's asking us to do something

that I just don't want to do anymore.

[groans] Guys, guys.

You guys just don't understand who you're working for.

And if you don't change your minds quickly...

then I'm the one

who's stuck with finding everyone in your families.

I-I did everything that you wanted.

I'm tired. I want to go home.

I just want this to stop!

- Ah, I told you, I don't like... talking. - [choking]

I got, uh, Chinese, I hope that's OK.

- Mm-hm. I'm starving - You're hungry? Good.

- Yeah. Hang on. - It might be cold.

[chuckles]

But edible.

[Jessica chuckles]

How... how close are they to finishing?

Oh, I think we got a few more days.

- Yeah? - Mm-hm.

That's good, right?

Finally have your house back to yourself.

Um, no, it's-it's been really nice, actually.

Having people here?

Uh-huh. The house feels alive and, uh...

Yeah, I just-- I think it's good for me to not be alone.

Mm. For sure. Makes sense.

And I like the crew.

You've been hanging out with the crew?

- You slumming it now, Jess? - [scoffs]

Kidding.

No, uh, Dave-Dave is a really nice guy.

Who's Dave?
