Original subtitles

[narrator] Previously on Nova Vita.

- [Carter] Dave. - Hi.

Nice to meet you, I'm Carter.

He was in the house, his house, actually,

standing with Jessica, talking to her.

How could you guys not know that?

I think it's time for Mr. Harper to take a fall.

[Dover] Mr. Dave Harper has a very colorful financial record.

Suddenly, he pops up with roughly 500 mil in accounts linked to him.

[West]And they think it's Davis' money?

There's blood in the trunk, partner.

[Marina] He's been using drugs

and hanging with prostitutes.

[officer] Is here danger to himself?

Yes, I-I think that he could be.

[man]Today my office, in conjunction with the FBI and the Department of Justice,

have issued an arrest warrant for one Dave Harper.

- The charges just filed against Mr. Harper... - Oh, my God.

...include attempted murder,two counts of rape,extortion...

- Hey! - [man] And wire fraud.

He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

[man] Hammer down, sir.

[West] You understand these rights

as I have explained them to you?

[Jessica]I felt like he knew he things,

but I honestly don't think that Mark knew this guy.

I wanna talk to the agent who broke my case.

[gasps]

[judge] In light of the other charges,

I'm going to set bail at ten million dollars.

You really think you're Mark Davis?

If you go get my watch out of my personal belongings

it will help you believe me.

[doorbell rings]

What are you doing here?

Sorry it's so late.

Are you OK?

Not exactly.

Well, what happened?

I think we put the wrong man in jail.

What do you mean?

I don't think Dave Harper is who we think he is.

So what makes you think this guy is telling the truth?

I know it sounds crazy.

Yeah, that's an understatement.

He said that there was a disk or a chip

that can prove everything he's saying.

You're out of your mind. A disk?

This is what's got you believing that this is true?

It's more than that.

He knew things that nobody else could know.

Like what?

The island, Nova Vita, he's been there.

He claims that's what happened to him, they changed his face.

- [scoffs] - That's what they do out on Nova Vita.

It's plastic surgery.

They?

Really, they?

You told me that he didn't do that.

You told me that he went out there to meet someone.

Jessica, I've been doing this job a long time,

and I've told you before I'm good at.

And I know when to spot red flags,

and this case-- this case is full of them.

You really think you've got the wrong guy?

It's not that we got the wrong guy but...

Doesn't seem to neat to you?

I mean, think about it, this Dave Harper guy,

he was basically gift-wrapped and dropped in our laps?

Who would do that?

The company that I'm--

That's what I'm trying to find out.

I can't prove it yet, but I know.

I know Carter's involved.

This company, whoever they are, they're...

They're much more powerful than I originally thought.

This is so crazy. I'm...

We're sitting here, we're talking about the company,

we're talking about Carter,

and I'm actually just sitting here wondering,

oh, my God, is it Mark? I don't know.

But maybe, I don't know.

[sighs]

Honestly...

only way to find out is if we bail Dave out of jail.

Are you here because of my money?

I wouldn't be here if there was any other way.

Please, trust me.

You do know how this is gonna look?

I do. That's exactly what I want.

If we rattle enough cages,

we're-we're bound to force someone out.

You know, there's a part of me that just wants to get

as far away from all this as I possibly can.

I'm so tired, I just...

But what if it's him?

What if it's Mark?

[siren blaring]

You got me out.

I had a little help.

I would hug you, but I stink.

Yeah, better not.

I believe that's yours.

Who?

Get in, I'll explain.

The food in there was shit?

You have no idea.

So I got you out of jail, but we still don't have the flash drive.

How do we go about proving everything you told me?

Did Jessica really post my bail?

Yeah.

How could I ever do this to her?

I'm sure you had your reasons.

Did I?

I'm not so sure anymore.

You gotta remember I saw the files.

I mean, you and Carter were up against some pretty bad shit.

Right. They put me away and then the paperwork shows up.

Carter's off, I'm this fugitive.

Doesn't that raise any kind of concerns with the FBI?

Yeah, obviously, Carter wanted you out of the way but...

- For what? - I don't know.

When I first found out who I really am,

all I wanted to do was to confront him.

Something was telling me not to do it.

We both know Carter's too smart for that.

What we need to do is beat him at his own game.

Yeah, 'cause I'm sure it is a game for him.

Now the only question is... how?

What are we doing here?

You trying tell me you don't recognize this place?

No, I do.

She's the one that ratted you out.

She drugged me.

[West] You sure as hell better hope so.

Let's go have ourselves a little chat.

I don't have time for you.

I need to know what really happened.

With what?

See my good friend Dave there?

The man you ratted out to the cops.

Yeah, he's not supposed to be anywhere near me.

See, that's the thing. I don't think he ever raped you.

In fact, I don't think he ever did anything to you.

Well, how would you know?

'Cause he's one of my CI's.

And as a CI, we run regular drug tests.

You wanna know what we found in his system?

Don't care.

Well, you should.

'Cause if we can trace that back to you, well,

you're gonna go away for a long time.

You can't prove shit.

You sure about that?

You think I come down here for the ambience?

You should really know by now, that strong arm shit doesn't work on me.

See my good friend back there?

He let us into your room.

The FBI's in there doing a DNA sweep.

If we find your DNA along with the drugs that we found in his system,

doesn't look too good for you.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm the victim.

I'm sure your lawyers will get you off.

Now what firm is that again?

Listen, if you cooperate and give me the real statement,

I'll make sure, you don't do any time.

OK?

[woman]I was wrong. It wasn't Dave Harper.

We have blood.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Some man paid me to make up the story.

What man?

We're working on that now, Detective Parks.

Hey. You hear that animal made bail?

I did.

I mean, how can he even post bail?

They froze the money he stole from you.

Oh, I don't, Dad.

Maybe we should get a security guard.

Post him outside the house. Maybe post one inside, too.

I don't think it's necessary.

Oh, really? You can't be too careful.

Well, that's what you're here for.

Right?

Yeah, I appreciate that.

It's just-- It's ridiculous.

[Carter] So what do I do about the fed?

He's not an issue. We've got our eyes on his department.

- He came by my place again. - The FBI is not looking at you.

Some lone wolf, apparently.

And-and what if he comes back? What do you suggest I do then?

Call your fucking lawyer!

Make him go away.

We'll step up security at your place.

And at your office.

So how did how did-- How did--

How did Dave post his bail?

See, that's the reason why you're here.

Jessica posted his bail,

and you were supposed to control her.

- Hm. - And I have been.

She's done nothing to suggest that she knows anything.

Until now. Posting his bail has changed things,

as far as they're concerned.

Is she in danger?

Appropriate measures will be taken

if she continues to see Dave Harper.

They will both be dealt with.

[phone ringing]

Armen?

- Right here. - Armen.

I'm Agent West. You called me?

Yeah.

Can I ask why we're meeting here and not at your shop?

I saw Dave Harper on the news.

I don't wanna be associated with any of this.

The news is wrong.

And the man that came to see me?

[Dave] Oh, shit.

I had feeling this would happen. I'm sorry.

He threatened me in my own shop, so I left.

I'm sure he did, and I'm sorry about that.

Do you remember what the man looked like?

Yeah. Yeah, I-I took a picture

with my security camera.

Thank you.

Let me tell you a bit about what we can offer.

When was the last time you saw Mark?

The day he died.

Did he say anything that day that seemed off?

Like what?

Anything out of the ordinary or off character for him?

Now you guys are starting to sound like the guy that paid me a visit.

This is important.

My life is at stake.

Jessica Davis' life's at stake.

Well, apparently, mine is now, too.

I am sorry about that.

You shouldn't be involved.

Agent West and I are trying to fix this.

- So please, help us. - I'll make sure you and your shop are taken care of.

OK?

Mark did mention one thing.

About a safe at his house.

[beeping]

A safe?

[Armen] Mark did mention one thing.

About a safe at his house.

[Dave] A safe? That's it?

[Armen] Yeah.

That's all I know.

[woman] I'm sitting down today

with Carter Hayes.

Many of you know him from CM Partners

and for the meteoric rise of the American crypto currency, AUREO-Coin.

Wow, that is quite an introduction.

Makes me sound much cooler than I actually am.

Thank you, Kate.

We're here today though to discuss

your thriving business.

Carter, it's good to see you.

And you too, Kate. Happy to be here.

Thank you so much for having us.

[Kate]CM Partners hit a bit of a rough patch

a few months back. Sore subject?

No, just I was personally blindsided

by what partner did.

Your partner's your best friend, you just inherently trust them,

and I-- I guess that was my--

That was my biggest mistake.

[Kate] Now, gentlemen, please,

walk me through the process

of the growth of your strategies.

[Carter] What we dois we raise capital and equity,

we then set up an infrastructure and maintain it.

And we have the ability to monumentally increase your social media presence,

which in turn, leads to vertical growth and integration.

You flood the market with ads or posts.

Flooding the market wouldn't work.

What we do is pinpoint the-the counterpart

for the actual consumer, and for the product for the client.

Do you worry that the company will gain a negative reputation?

Could someone use this, for say an election?

Our encryption is as advanced and secure

as any tech company out there, you name it.

So we'll leave the election hacking to Russia or... or China.

I mean, who knows who's doing what these days, right?

Way to keep a low profile.

You know what, you don't worry about me,

'cause I know what I'm doing?

People like you always do.

What are you doing here? What do you want now?

I need some intel.

What, stock tips, investment advice?

Nah. I keep my money in the freezer.

I need to know where Mark kept his safe.

I know nothing...

I know nothing about a safe.

Yeah.

Well, maybe he kept it at his house then.

What do you care?

My job is to make sure that there are no surprises.

The bosses really hate surprises.

Did Mark... keep something in a safe that could implicate us?

Us? No.

You, maybe.

OK. Well, then I'll ask Jessica about it.

Well, hopefully she didn't just watch you

throw her dead husband under the bus on national TV.

[West] Look, I told you, I can't reverse the wire charges.

[Dave] What-- So what, you want to use me for bait?

[West] It's not time to play it safe now.

[Dave] Jesus Christ.

I'm screwed, aren't I?

Still got me in your corner.

Well, my corner is a very lonely place.

Tell me about it.

My partner would shit if he saw us together.

What, he's jealous?

[both chuckle]

It's good to see you have a personality through this.

You can't go in there. Not yet.

What do you mean, I can't go in there?

Why'd you bring me here then?

If everything you told me is true,

and now that you're out of prison,

they're gonna come for you.

And her.

So do you have any idea how we can get these guys?

My fake friend.

My fake wife.

I could call them.

Don't they work for them?

Marina, she helped me get away.

- Where is she? - I don't know.

But I do have her number though.

Alright.

Let's go get your phone.

You know where it is?

Simmons.

Hooker changed her story.

One of our guys said she went to the cops

with an FBI agent.

Agent West, I presume.

Yeah, that guy's becoming a real issue.

He'll need to be dealt with, as well.

[man] You working another case already?

You know me, always on a case.

Well, when you finally slow down, uh,

let's head over to TGIF's and say hello to the waitress.

- Yeah, sounds good. - Alright.

You really helped spring Dave Harper?

Does everybody sneak around in this department?

- It's not what you think. - Bullshit.

Looks just like tampering to me, partner.

You may have just compromised this whole office.

The man we took into custody isn't really Dave Harper.

That's enough.

Nobody gives a shit anymore, John, about your conspiracy theories.

And now you're starting to fuck with my livelihood.

Give me room. I'm close.

What? To hang us? Both of us?

I got the rape charges tossed.

Nobody cares, John.

The only thing that matters is the fraud charge,

if that's gonna stick. Do you have that? No.

I need you to trust me.

Like I don't trust you?

A little more time.

First came through.

Best in your class.

Totally focused, nothing else mattered.

None of this changes any of that.

You have 48 hours, and then I go tell Dover.

You hear what I said?

Thank you.

I need a favor.

Run this through facial for me.

Oh, wow. You're good.

OK.

[line trilling]

[phone ringing]

[people chattering]

Get on that.

[Nixon] Hi, Dave. You can sayhito Agent West for me, too.

Marina was struck by a drunk driver last night.

You haven't seen her since you hit her.

Were you calling her to get to us?

It's kind of an obvious move, Dave.

You don't think we'd be ready for that?

Maybe you didn't.

I don't know.

I don't hurt people, I just... deal with problems.

Oh, fuck.

[Nixon]Anyway, you should reconsider

this current route

on which you are currently set out.

[breathing shakily]

I want him dead.

Marina grilled me the other night.

What'd she wanna know?

I knew it. I knew they were watching me.

At least I had a pretty good idea.

That's why I didn't...

I didn't take my phone...

to Jessica's house.

My house-- I felt it. I just--

You were protecting her.

Yeah.

When I found out Jessica was pregnant.

Like a switch came on in me and...

I knew I had to fight, I just didn't know... where to start.

When she grilled me, I had a thumb drive in my pocket.

And then it just disappeared after that night.

I'm thinking she must have taken it.

That probably means they have it by now.

Well, see, that's the thing, why would they kill her then?

How are we gonna be able to prove that they did?

Her accident report is air tight.

Your accident report...

Mark Davis' accident report was air tight.

Honestly, these guys have...

[chuckles] These guys have covered every angle.

That's not the reception I was hoping for.

Oh, look man, I get it.

But we're all here for you.

Adam was there.

Hey! Get off of me.

[Adam] Alright.

Adam must've taken it.

- Adam, your buddy, Adam? - Yeah.

Yeah.

- [West] Oh... Dave.

[Adam] Dave, you OK?

[West] How well do you really know that guy?

You really wanna bring him in the loop on this?

It's worth a shot.

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

[West] FBI, open up.

You're wasting your time.

Are we?

[West] I could just haul you in.

Let it slip that you've been talking, put you in the system,

then just leave your assin a cell for all the animals

in there to take care of you.

Alright, put me in a cell.

I won't last 24 hours.

Adam.

Adam!

Sit down.

They killed Marina.

You're next.

You should pay us more money for all the cops showing up, man.

I never knew they'd get there that fast in this neighborhood.

So why did they do that to you anyway?

[Adam] How do you know that?

[Dave] We just saw her.

I called her before we knew she was dead.

I spoke to some guy.

A real charmer.

They make it look like an accident?

[Dave] A hit-and-run, apparently.

[Adam] That's how they do it.

Her name isn't Marina, it's Jasmine.

Mine's Gabriel.

Why did they have her killed?

Phones.

Oh, yeah.

[Adam] Give me your phone.

Just do it.

[computer beeping]

- Nothing. - [chuckles]

Damn. That's cold, man.

Jasmine was working the Hollywood party circuit.

That's how they found her.

Who-- Who hired you?

It was the people-- the same guy

that-that Dave was talking to.

The charmer, Nixon.

Adam, did you find a thumb drive?

Jasmine took it.

She had it, I saw her take it from you.

Did you tell Nixon?

No, I-I stayed quiet,

I kept my head down.

I stayed alive.

Did you ever meet these people in person?

Do they have an office? Anything?

- Yeah. - I'm gonna need that address.

You don't understand.

These people operate out in the open.

They cover their asses.

You will never find them.

You just let me be the judge of that.

if they find out we spoke, I'll have an accident.

- You'll have an accident. - Then let me bring you in.

- I can protect you. - You guys are coming to me for questions.

[Dave] He's got a point.

I'm better on my own.

But if I need you, I'll find you.

[siren blaring]

Shit.

You guys wanna get off my car?

Are you fuckin' blind?

We're relaxing, man. Chilling.

We can do this your way.

So what the fuck's my way? Huh?

You tell me.

[speaking foreign language]

What?

- Huh? - [chuckles]

[groaning]

- Hey! - No, no, no, no, no, no.

[groaning]

[siren chirps]

[West] Put your hands up.

- What? - Put your hands up.

- Do it. Do it. - They're gonna think--

[officer] Freeze! Hands where I can see 'em.

Drop down to your knees.

I have a badge in my back right pocket.

Drop down to your knees, sir.

Both of you.

[Dover] Well, this is a new one, even for me.

- I know this is strange. - [Dover] Strange?

Three days ago, you had this guy arrested.

- We made a mistake. - [Dover] We?

No, you.

Just off the top of my head,

you violated maybe ten FBI regulations.

Sir, I believe that this man is not who he--

Don't do it.

Don't what?

What else don't I know?

My name is not Dave Harper.

I'm Mark Davis.

[soft chuckle]

You-you need help. Serious help.

Yes, I do.

That's why I'm here, sir.

I'm telling the truth, sir.

Where is the proof?!

In a safe in my house!

In Jessica Davis' house.

- That safe is mine. - Oh, and I suppose a warrant

- would just do the trick, right? - Actually, yes.

No. I'm reporting this fight to the DA on Monday,

and which time your bail will be revoked.

What, did they get to you, too?

I can revoke it right now if you like.

And you. Stuck my neck out for you once, but I'm not doing it again.

[door opens, closes]

How much of this did you know?

Not enough to lose my badge, sir.

You shouldn't have lost your job for this.

Don't put this on yourself.

This was me. I made the choice.

- Is that the file? - Yeah. Just grab it.

Let's go.

Agent West, hold up.

If you're here to rub it in, I'm not in the mood.

I got two hits on those facial scans.

You might want to come take a look at this.

First one, Chinzano Caballari, from Italy.

Special forces, came over stateside about ten years ago.

Next one, Anthony Nixon.

Ex-special forces, United States.

Retired right around the same time.

- [West] Any reason? - Probably just to check out the private sector.

- Is that it? - [Smith] No.

Chinzano, he's got bodies.

He's connected to some unsolved murders,

and yet his record remains clear.

- What about Nixon? - Clear as well.

So, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this,

something's not right.

Told you it was all too neat.

Guys like this should have more marks on their record.

They have to be protected by some very big people.

Who though?

The same people that are after you.

Hey... be careful out there.

Honey, you need to see this.

Why, what's going on?

Just watch it. I can't believe it.

I mean, we've known this kid some 15 years, turns out he's an asshole.

[newswoman]CM Partners hit a bit of a rough patch

a few months back. Sore subject?

[Carter] No, just--I was personally blindsided...

- Carter. - ...by what my partner did.

- Can you believe that? - [Carter] When your partner'syour best friend,

you just inherently trust them,

and I-- I guess that was my--

- That was my biggest mistake.- [Devon] What's he doing?

It just-- It just came up on my phone.

I'm sorry, sweetie. I just-- I thought you needed to see this.

[exhales]

[sobbing]

[car doors beep]

[doorbell rings]

What are you doing here?

- You saw the interview, obviously. - Everybody did!

I know that you're angry, and you have every right to be.

But can I just come in and explain-- Just--

Will you just...

listen to me for one second?

So, I don't even know how to say this.

I-I really just wanted to...

keep you out of all this, Jess.

Out of what?

He got us into something that--

Mark, he was in trouble.

We were in way, way over our heads.

Mark wouldn't do that.

That sounds like you.

Typically, you're right, that would've been me.

I'm the one that always got us into trouble,

or close to it, but... this time it wasn't.

It was Mark.

Mark's baby, the cryptocurrency...

it was a bubble,

and it's about to bust.

And you think that's his fault?

I don't think it is, I know it is

because it was just so hard inside.

The whole thing was a scam.

So we got into business with some--

with some pretty big people,

and they pressured Mark to inflate the value

so that we could take a...

bigger share of the market.

And I think he didn't feel like he had a choice,

and he had to do it.

It's your problem now, Carter.

It is my problem, Jess. You're right.

But it's also yours.

Because it's our company.

And Mark told me that he kept confidential company files in his safe

somewhere in the house.

Get out of my house.

What-what what's happened to you?

- Leave my house. - I'm not your enemy, Jess.

OK, I'm trying to save the company and keep it afloat.

You came to my home today to tell me

that there was information I needed to know about Mark.

I came to you today because whatever's in that safe

could potentially clear Mark's name.

That's why I came to you.

And maybe that's not what you want,

but I can tell you it's the right thing to do.

Where were you three months ago? Why today?

Three months ago I was almost dead, Jess.

That's where I was three months ago.

And, yes, I'm here today

because I want to clear Mark's name.

You just wanna save yourself.

Thought you would say that.

[scoffs]

You hear yourself?

Who you've become?

I've been here for you, Jess.

Trying to take care of you.

For you, for Mark.

And that's what you say to me?

OK.

Well, in that case...

Look at me.

I need to find the safe.

That's what I need.

Mark never had a safe.

He didn't?

You sure about that?

That there's no safe in this house?

Leave.

Bye, Jess.

Hey, buddy.

We've been looking for you.

And here you are.

Sticking your nose in places you shouldn't be.

Everything OK?

Where are you going?

I'm going to my mom's in Tampa.

Aww.

Have any visitors lately?

No, why?

You heard about Jasmine.

Drunk driver, right?

I like the very dangerous place.

[Nixon] What'd you tell them?

Nixon, I didn't tell them anything.

Phones.

[gunshot]

- [patrons screaming] - [winces]

No-no, man. [stuttering] Don't-don't-don't-don't.

Nixon, don't do this.

Jasmine was looking for a flash drive.

Dave, uh-- She took it from Dave.

- Dave Harper was looking for it. - What's on it?

I don't know. I don't know.

- Where's the drive now? - OK, OK, OK.

I don't know. I don't know. They didn't tell me.

I don't know. I don't know where it is.

[exhales] Why didn't you say anything sooner?

Look, I do my job.

I keep my head down.

I don't-- I don't ask questions.

We've been good to you, haven't we?

Yeah, yeah.

Come on, man.

Glad you think so.

'Cause we like you, Adam.

You do good work.

[sighs]

What? No, no, no, no.

Go. Go. Go.

[panting]

[door opens]

You OK?

Carter stopped by.

That man was in this house?

He said that Mark left something in the safe that he needed,

and that he could clear Mark's name.

Well, you're not thinking about giving it to him, are you?

No.

But I'm curious.

- Where the hell did you get that? - I've always had it.

Well, I don't want it in this house.

The way things are going, yeah, it's staying.

West said that he thinks that Dave Harper might be telling the truth.

[scoffs] About what? That Dave is Mark?

Come on, baby. Listen to me on this, OK.

These guys are-are preying on you,

and they're using Mark's death to do it.

I bailed him out.

You got-- Sweetie.

Listen, why are you allowing yourself

to get sucked in to this?

Because whether it's crazy or not,

I need to know the truth.

Here's what you need to know,

he's a con man.

He's-he's probably deranged.

He stole money from you. I think he stole Mark's watch.

But Dad, you know, I've been looking for this thing all this time.

No, no, no! No, no! I do not want to hear another word.

He hurt this family.

I see him again, I start shooting.

[Marina] Jessica, you don't know me, and you never will.

But I know your husband, Mark.

They recorded a video on this thumb drive.

Watch it... alone.

Please, find your husband.

He needs you.

Hey.

Your name is Mark Davis.
