Original subtitles

Did Rosemary say what this is?

To haul ass for an emergency confab.

Parley between branches?

It sounded like something we haven't been privy to.

Either that or somebody's forgotten protocols and purviews.

Don't squirt your shorts, Sully.

When your bureau boys shit the bed, we'll be there to mop up.

Send the bill to Langley.

Yeah. You're doing a great job in Vietnam.

Fuck you very much.

Sir, we came as soon as we could.

Gentlemen...

We've got a big fucking problem.

Precious fucking cargo.

One of a kind,

built by the most paranoid, bat shit billionaire genius in the world,

and you let it get jacked.

- Sax, listen... - it wasn't just a priceless car.

It was a fucking payment for the Russian deal.

From Howard fucking Hughes.

Do you have any idea

- how much that ride was worth? - A lot.

No shit, motherfucker! That was rhetorical.

There are mistakes, agent Hayes.

And then there are patterns of dereliction.

I'm away two weeks, and this office goes to shit.

Agent abbott says you've been defying directives

from him and more experienced agents.

Entering a medical facility without proper authorization, and for what?

To harass a former respected bureau standout like breen, who's now dead?

I was following a solid lead.

Did I say you could speak?

No, sir. You did not.

So you had your dick in your hand

while my boy was being Molly-whopped by some vacuum slingers.

You better thank your sweet fucking baby Jesus that my boy is all right.

I could have lost him and a million-dollar car.

A million dollars.

You were directly advised to stay away from breen,

that he'd gone off the rails

Ezra saxton is planning something with the Russians.

It's big. You want inside access into snowbird?

Well, I'm within reach of that, sir. Inches away.

How many inches?

- Sir, that's... - that better be less

than three fucking inches!

Two inches, sir.

What I've got planned can work. I know it.

Forty-eight hours is all I'm asking, sir.

Do you speak Russian?

Because my interpreter just got arrested for fucking tax fraud.

Just get out! Get out! You're done.

Sax, listen, I can help.

I don't need another goddamn thing from you.

Get the fuck out of my house. You are finished here.

Ooh-whee!

You could hear that ass whooping all the way in the Grand Canyon!

Shut the fuck up!

This fourth of July holiday is an appropriate time for every American

to reflect on the deeper meaning of the momentous events in Philadelphia.

One hundred and ninety-six years ago, today,

John Adams summed up that meaning in a letter to his wife.

He wrote, "I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure

that it will cost us to maintain this declaration.

Yet, through all the gloom, I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory.

I can see that the end is more than worth all the means."

It's over. I got fired, Baltimore, I'm out.

Well, get your ass back in.

I promised my boss results within 48 hours.

I've got a whole plan with the Russian interpreter

you can kiss that plan goodbye.

'Cause his interpreter just got picked up for tax fraud.

Yeah, I know. I made that happen.

What are you, the fucking IRS now? Why get him arrested?

I'm gonna be saxton's new interpreter.

Get the fuck out of here. Like you speak Russian.

How the fuck do you speak Russian?

My mother is a comparative lit professor at Morgan state.

She specializes in southern gothic americana and slavic studies.

I grew up with zora neale hurston books piled on the kitchen table

beside dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

Learned how to read and speak Russian and German,

so I need you to get me in.

How am I supposed to vouch for you if sax won't even talk to me?

What about your father?

If saxton trusts him, maybe he could help.

You want me to ask my pop to shill for you?

Sax is his oldest friend.

And he doesn't know what we know about Joey.

Well, maybe it's time you tell him.

My old man's had enough heartbreak.

I ain't telling him till I know for sure.

It's our only play.

I have two days to move fucking mountains in this case.

So either you get your father to help, or we're both fucked.

Assuming Jim gets him to flip, you think his dad can help?

Yeah, Wade Ellis was saxton's consigliere for years.

- Consigliere? - Yeah, like Tom hagen to vito corleone.

- Wait, I don't... - You haven't seen the godfather? -No.

You're a federal agent, and you haven't seen the godfather?

- Nina, I'm messing with you. - Thank fucking god.

- I saw it five times. - Thought I'd have to find a new partner.

- Heard braddock came down on you hard. - Nothing I can't handle.

We'll see.

Good morning. Hey, no pressure.

But I saw that you still haven't signed up for the isobl.

Intra-office softball league.

Our Phoenix office is playing the yuma office next week.

Yeah, baseball is not really my thing.

It's softball, and it is super fun,

and it'd be really nice to have some ladies sign up.

Right now it's just me and louella from accounting.

And she cannot catch a ball to save her life.

- I'll think about it. - Splendid.

Agent tolliver has the analysis of breen's medication.

He's in the conference room.

Max! Finally. Great.

Thanks.

Loads of fun and fresh air guaranteed.

You're saying the hospital was giving him LSD?

- They were dosing breen with acid? - In high dosage, too.

Is there any possible therapeutic reasoning for that?

None that I can find.

But certainly it would have put him in a constant fugue state.

To make him seem bat shit crazy.

Not the medical term I would use, but it looks that way.

Hayes, I wish you'd take my advice.

I can't let this case go.

I think we're onto something big.

That's what worries me.

Whoever did this to breen,

I'd hate to see them do it to you.

So?

Clyde says half the patients at kirkbridge are provided meds

from outside physicians, including breen,

which means that it was a doctor outside the hospital dosing him.

Who was the doctor?

The name on file was Dr. Ben visili.

Let's go.

A certain something has gone missing.

It needs to be tracked down...

Post-haste and pre-catastrophe.

Intriguing.

Had a meeting this morning with Sullivan...

And a third party.

How high up?

Let's just say it was in a room that's "oval in shape."

Well, shit.

So tell me...

What's gone missing?

This is the address for Dr. Ben visili?

This is weird.

Ben visili.

Vis...

Vis... visi

Ben vis...

Visi-Ben, vis...

It's an anagram.

The letters. Look, they spell invisible.

Breen wasn't crazy.

Whatever is going on here involves the FBI and CIA,

the Russians, and Howard Hughes... And saxton and Joey and Xavier.

And whatever the hell it is, it's a coordinated effort.

Nixon says emphatically that the white house is in no way involved

in the burglary and bugging of the Democratic headquarters.

And he'll have no further comment on that matter.

Mr. Nixon... Charlotte got you dressing up cars now?

She wants us to enter the freedom parade.

But goddamn sticky tape won't fucking stick.

Freedom parade?

It's a legion thing, for vets.

Maybe sax will come along for a ride, too.

Well, don't just stand there, boy. Help me make it look more festive.

Pops, I need to talk to you about something.

About Joey.

I've been trying to get a line on what happened that night.

It led me somewhere I don't like.

Say it plain, boy.

It looks like it was a hit after all.

Who arranged it?

I think it was sax.

Look, I know what you're gonna say, but it all points his way.

That c-4, Paris gilford sold it to sax.

There's no way.

Why would... he had no reason to kill him.

I don't know. Maybe Joey found out something sax didn't like.

But I talked to Paris myself.

I don't care!

You got it all twisted. It's that fucking fed.

She's playing you, Jimmy. She's all up in your head.

No, pop. She's on to something.

I don't know where it goes, but Joey was a part of it.

She's getting closer. She just...

She needs our help getting in with sax.

"Our help." You're fucking crazy.

I'd do it myself, but sax cut me loose this morning.

- Cut you loose? What the hell for? - It doesn't matter.

I'm asking you to go see him.

Tell him I mentioned him needing a Russian interpreter.

Tell him you got someone to recommend.

Ezra saxton dragged my sorry bleeding ass through six miles of mud, shit,

mortars and hellfire, Jimmy

you think I want to be accusing sax... he's family!

He'd never hurt my son.

You tell that fucking fed bitch to go to hell.

You said yourself we gotta find out what happened.

Well, I found a thread, and I'm gonna keep pulling till I unravel this thing.

Joey deserved better. He deserves the truth.

I'm asking you to do this for him.

I can't fucking look at you.

Whatever breen knew, they went to crazy lengths to keep him quiet.

And who are they?

And why would breen help cover up what happened to Joey Ellis?

- Maybe he was working for them. - For who?

I don't know. Um, Xavier?

White heat lookin' for top dog, come back.

- Copy. Go ahead, white heat. - The old man didn't go for it.

The hail Mary was a bust, and so is your plan. Over.

That's not good enough. Over.

I'm all out of moves.

If something comes up, you'll know. Till then, I'm over and out.

Now what?

If Ellis can't fix this, I'll do it myself.

And the more I talk to the other women drivers,

the more I'm seeing how fucked the system is.

Ain't that the truth?

So we are talking about what to do next.

Hey, what's up with you?

- Hey, uncle Jim. - Hey.

You coming to Theresa's barbecue tonight?

Mija, David's coming tonight.

I know, but uncle Jim can come, too.

- It's just down the block. - Well, I'm sure he's really busy.

Actually, I suddenly got some time.

How about I bring some fireworks?

Sparklers and bottle rockets?

- Sure. - Hold on now.

M-80s, cherry bombs, air bombs.

If it's big and loud and goes bang, we're setting it off tonight.

All right!

There's nobody I'd rather watch fireworks with more.

Wade Ellis. I'm agent Nina Hayes. I've been working with your son.

- He shouldn't have sent you. - Jim doesn't know I'm here.

- Wade, who is it? - I got it.

Look, unless you got a warrant, I suggest you leave.

You don't know me, but I know Ezra saxton.

From his old days in Philly.

I watched him rip my family apart. The same way he did yours.

Saxton would never hurt my family.

My father thought the same thing.

But you don't get to where saxton is without leaving a trail of bodies,

rivals, partners, even old friends, like my father was.

They were close.

Until my father told saxton he wanted out of their business arrangement.

Saxton didn't like that.

He made threats, but my father wouldn't back down.

So saxton killed him.

- Bullshit. - Would I be here if it weren't true?

I came out of Quantico with one mission:

To get the man who killed my father.

Mr. Ellis, I may be the enemy in your eyes,

but if he killed your son, what does that make saxton?

I thought you would have left town by now.

Wow. Bad news travels fast.

When daddy gets pissed, everybody knows.

Pissin' off fathers seems to be my specialty.

You and me both.

Blackstock from Scotland.

Best bottle I got.

You're not the only one whose life's a mess right now.

Hey, what's going on?

Greek sal's daughter. She was at Elvis' house.

She's getting married. So what?

She's my girlfriend.

- Was anyway. - Greek sal's kid is your girl?

Has been for 18 months.

Holy shit. Does your pop know?

Hell no.

He hates Greek sal so much, I couldn't tell him.

I mean, he's seen me with other women before...

But he just pretends it's some phase I'll graduate from, like college.

But, baby, college is where I got my phd.

Greek sal is making her become some shipping asshole's son's wife.

It's some old-school consolidation of power shit.

Daphne don't want to get married.

Hell no. It's all arranged.

Greek sal just wants access to this guy's family's shipping empire.

And of course, this way, he doesn't have to face who Daphne really is.

Fathers ruin fucking everything.

I understand what you asking me to do.

But you don't want it.

I'm telling you, sweetheart, sax has a way of looking at you

and seeing exactly who you are.

He'll know.

And if he don't catch a scent, Billy the bloodhound will.

You ever been undercover?

I did well at the academy.

I did well in sixth-grade biology,

but that don't make me no fucking brain surgeon.

There was a cop back in '57,

he thought he'd get the goods on sax.

Instead, he disappeared.

Until his body parts start showing up from new Mexico to Louisiana.

I vouch for you, and you fuck this up,

you fuck me up, and you fuck up what's left of my family.

I can pull this off.

It would have to be the performance of your life.

Now, if you're going to look sax in the eyes and lie...

You're gonna need some professional training.

We think we control our lives.

Truth is, it just happens.

There ain't nothing we can do.

To Daphne marrying the stupid fucking son of a boat asshole.

To me in your pop's doghouse.

You know, we should be drinking these at the wedding...

Before burning the place to the fucking ground.

Hey, we should go to that wedding, sneak in.

- Fuck you, goldilocks. - You love Daphne, right?

- I do. - Then you gotta get her back.

And if I can help blow a deal for Greek sal,

that's only good news for me.

You can't sneak in without a tux.

I got one somewhere.

I'll grab it and pick you up.

We'll be back in time for fireworks.

I just want to demonstrate the three key principles...

Of the professional actor.

Intention, belief and listening.

Know your character's goal.

Believe you are that person.

You don't believe it, they won't believe it.

And listen like a moth.

You got that?

A moth?

Moths have remarkable hearing.

And what about... what about stage fright?

It's real, and it can be brutal.

I was in minsky's revue at the dunes... Frankie Vaughan.

Opening night, I walked out on stage,

and I froze.

I was terrified.

What did you do?

A little trade secret that Carol Channing taught me.

With one hand,

I crossed my fingers.

Just a little reminder... I'm okay.

I focused on it for a few seconds.

And I unfroze.

I killed that night.

What the fuck?

You react... fuck.

- What the... - Listen, son.

- The hell are you doing here? - This woman is our guest, asshole.

How'd this happen?

L... I... I changed my mind.

And Charlotte's helping me with my undercover work.

Holy shit!

Miss dinner theater 1933's giving you acting lessons?

1941, jackass.

- She's got some great tips. - Yeah, for the casting couch maybe.

I cannot talk to him. I cannot.

Angel pie, wait, wait, wait. God damn it, Jim.

- What's the tux for? - None of your business.

Neither is my fucking father.

You should've told me before talking to him.

I told you about my plan.

You didn't say anything about showing up on his doorstep.

What happens if sax comes by while you're here?

I wouldn't be here if you hadn't screwed up.

If sax put the hit out on Joey,

believe me, I want him to pay for it as bad as you do.

But not if it means getting my father killed, too.

Just get yourself back on saxton's good side,

then maybe I won't have to clean up your mess.

I'm working on it.

My man!

Memories of mount suribachi.

It's been too long.

Yeah.

I tried calling to see if you're gonna be at the parade.

Marcy said that you're in some kind of funk.

Guessin' you won't be ridin' at the legion?

I've got some things on my mind.

Jim tell you about this morning?

Yeah, some.

From what I hear, you could use...

Wait, damn, did I... did I bring...

Now you're talking.

I was able to set up your cover. Your name is Nina Saint James.

Damn. I've seen a lot of fake ids. This work is good.

Had a little side gig in college.

They look incredible, just like the real thing.

Forged some certifications and business cards,

and set up a line on our last extension.

Awan, you're amazing.

I'm gonna play your secretary. I already have my character's name.

- You do? What's her name? - Tiffany.

Tiffany Raquel Patterson. I'm so excited to help.

I just have one condition.

You both play in the softball league.

- All right. Fine. - Really?

Groovy. Thank you.

Genesis and Royce, like night and day. One is defiant as hell,

the other's always doing dumb shit.

Fucking kids. They can't help who they are.

Genesis, she was always the sharp one, just like my Joey was.

- Boy, I miss that kid. - Yeah.

Two long years. God damn, I'm still hung up on it.

How he lived, how he died. The accident.

If that's what it was.

We shook down everyone who breathed the same air as Joey.

Came up empty.

I just can't let it go.

So I figured I'd do some more digging.

See what turns up.

I pulled you off the floor of every bar from here to las cruces

when we lost Joey.

Practically had to tie you down to force a meal down your throat.

Only time I've seen you worse

is full of Japanese shrapnel on that island from hell.

Opening that wound again...

Well, I don't know.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe you're right.

If you need to take your mind off things, you can always come back anytime.

Charlotte won't be happy

but I can use you now more than ever.

Jimmy said you've gone multi-national.

Hiring interpreters now.

I got something hot with some Soviet thieves.

But my fucking interpreter just got pinched for tax fraud,

if you can believe that.

I still got my magic rolodex.

So you...

You got the right man for the job?

I just might.

But in this case, the right man might just be a lady.

Nina Saint James's office.

This is Tiffany. Tiffany Raquel Patterson.

How may I help you?

There seems to be some conflict

as to who the strongest is

some would say that it's hard to tell

when they're both bringing home the check.

I heard a woman say she can do anything any man can.

I'm here to tell you that the woman that said it

ain't even have herself a man if you wanna know

how strong is a woman?

How strong is a woman?

Well I can tell you that

where are you off to all dressed up?

I've got a meeting. Why?

Because I've been watching you and your partner.

My gut says you're up to something I won't like.

I don't care what you like.

I'm doing my job,

and I'm getting real tired of you looking over my shoulder

and threatening me, and doubting what I am capable of.

So hear me loud and clear.

The answer to the question, "where am I off to,"

is always trying to make the progress on this case

that wasn't made before I got here.

Now if you'll excuse me.

How strong is a woman?

How strong is a woman... Nina Saint James.

What qualifies you to work with us?

I'd like to think my resume speaks for itself.

What about discretion?

Well, I'd suggest you ask the man I worked for at the UN.

But those negotiations were top secret.

And I'd never give you their names.

We got to test your language skills.

I asked, if you speak Russian,

why do you need an interpreter?

Hey. Here she is.

A buddy from Leningrad.

Allo?

Your friend wants to speak with you.

Sounds more like he's from pargolovo.

Yeah, it's me.

What you got?

Two complications.

What do you want first: Bad or worse?

Worse.

Tricky dick knows what got lifted.

Fuck. How?

I don't know.

He saw Sullivan and ewing this morning, now they know, too.

Jesus. Do they know about khakarov?

Don't seem to.

Ewing came to me to clean it up.

What's the "bad?"

We've got a wrench in Phoenix.

I've got multiple calls about a new fed poking around saxton's operation,

and I'm not sure we have time to get her in our pocket.

No, we don't.

Get out of there as soon as you can, you take care of it.

You got that?

Xavier, I'm one step ahead.

Already got my ticket to Phoenix.

You look mighty fine.

Nice shoes.

Well, it's a wedding. Somethin' borrowed, somethin' blue...

Just rolling along just rolling along

and I'm quitting the blues of the world

just singing a song just singing a song

"glory hallelujah" I just told the parson

"hey, par, get ready to call"

just like humpty dumpty.

I'm going to fall I'm sitting on top of the world.

- I'm glad you could make it. - Yeah.

Don't forget that thing I asked you about. I want it taken care of.

Good.

And our other situation.

Did he beg?

Like a poodle.

That's the stepmom, Ann-Margret over there.

The third stepmom.

How many of those are you gonna fucking have? Enough already.

As many as I want. As many as I want.

- Hi. - That's Bobbi.

Daphne said she's calling the shots for this whole shindig,

so she'll be the one escorting my girl out of the bridal suite.

How much time do you need to track down Daphne?

This place is crawling with security.

Ten minutes?

Piece of cake. Meet at the car.

Don't be late.

Hi there.

Hello.

So, sister of the bride standing here without a drink?

That ain't right.

Not quite, but you're sweet.

I prefer to be naughty.

We should find somewhere private.

Down the hall.

I still need a few minutes.

Ready or not, here I come.

- G? - D.

What are you doing here?

If my father sees you... I snuck in to sneak you out.

So... what's so important you couldn't tell me

with all those people around?

Promise not to laugh.

I might do a lot of things, but laughing won't be one of them.

When I saw you, I got this... hey.

I'm not asking you to choose me.

I'm asking you to choose you.

I'm hoping you find a way out.

It's almost time, sir. We started seating.

Should we send someone up to check in on the bride?

Isn't my wife doing that?

We don't know where she is, sir.

Emile, Javier, get over here.

Send someone to see what's taking Daphne so long.

- Everybody's antsy. - Yes, Mr. Salvatore.

Leon. Angelo. Get up to Daphne's suite. See what's going on.

We're on it.

Where the fuck is my wife?

Maybe this isn't such a good idea.

Shut up and take your pants off.

- Maybe another time. - No, no. No.

Check on Daphne. I'll be right behind you.

Mrs. Salvatore.

Jim fuckin' Ellis.

Hey, man, this ain't what you think...

Left a good job in the city fuck.

Working for the man every night and day

well, I never lost one minute of sleeping

worrying 'bout the way things might've been

big wheel, keep on turning -turning

proud Mary, keep on burning -burning rolling

rolling...

The fuck...

Rolling, and we're rolling

rolling on the river

river.

Rolling

cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans

but I never saw the good side of the city

let's get out of here, they're on our ass!

Hold on.

Big wheel, keep on turning -turning

proud Mary, keep on burning -burning rolling

rolling -yeah

- holy shit. - They're aiming at the tires.

They're trying to get you.

Rolling on the river

river

fuck, your father hires good drivers.

- You got iron? - Glove box.

If you come down to the river

motherfucker!

It doesn't feel like they're aiming at fucking tires.

Get your fucking ass out the window and shoot.

You do the driving, and I do the shoot.

- Yeah, you fucking... - you drive, and I shoot.

Rolling -rolling -yeah rolling on the river

shit, I'm out.

- What about these? - Not the fireworks.

- I need those. - Fuck that, they're on us!

Let's blind them.

Take that fucker Ellis out.

What happened to shooting tires?

He ain't getting away with sal's kid. Fuck him.

All right all right

left a good job in the city

working for the man every night and day

and I never lost one minute of sleeping

worrying 'bout the way things might've been

big wheel, keep on turning -turning

proud Mary, keep on burning

whoo!

All right. Keep 'em coming.

Rolling, and we're rolling rolling on the river

river

- I can't see. I can't see. - Try to avoid one of them.

- Fuck! - Avoid one of them.

Don't burn my seats.

Hey, take this.

That was Luna's favorite.

They're still coming, and we're almost out.

Grab that big one.

Big wheel, keep on turning -turning

proud Mary, keep on burning -burning rolling

rolling -yeah rolling on the river we're rolling.

Rolling, rolling on the river

whoo!

Rolling rolling on the river

rolling rolling, rolling...

You're gonna like these.

She's like a miniature you.

She's so great with her.

You are, too.

Hey, when's uncle Jim coming with the fireworks?

He should be here soon.

Okay.

Yeah.

- Thank you. - Anytime.

Nice driving, goldilocks.

Nice throwing, Tom seaver.

I'll put in a good word with daddy.

Hey, Luna.

Tracked down something I think you might like.

Awesome! Can we set some off?

Hell yeah. Which one you want to do first?

The big one. Come on.

Marrying into that family would've given Greek sal access

to half the shipping ports in Europe.

That asshole has stolen so much from me.

And now he loses the biggest deal of his sorry-ass life because of you.

Karma, motherfucker.

I didn't just do it for you.

- I did it for her. - I don't want to hear about all that.

- It's the truth. - Well...

What you did tonight,

it's what a saxton would do.

There's gonna be blowback,

but I'm grateful for what you did tonight, rabbit.

Thank you.

And just so you know, I couldn't have done it without Jim.

I know what happened with the Hughes car, but you've got to let it go.

I'm still working on replacing that money.

- Daddy. - I'll take it under advisement.

- Looking good. - Thanks, Billy.

New interpreter's in the conference room, waiting for you.

Happy fourth of July.

Ezra saxton.

Nina Saint James.

I see you survived the pre-meeting.

I hope to survive this one, too.

- Where are you from? - All over.

My dad was air force,

so I grew up on bases all around, mostly Europe.

That right?

I was in the marines. 36th depot.

Wonder if I ever crossed paths with your dad.

Could have.

Small world.

How did you come to pick up Russian?

There ain't a whole lot of interpreters who look like you.

My dad was stationed on a base outside of Hamburg.

He was a code-breaker.

And he thought it might be useful if I learned the language of the enemy.

So he had me take lessons.

How do you feel about violence?

- I prefer to avoid it. - I mean the threat of it.

Do you panic? Lose your way?

I'd be lying if I said the work I do doesn't go upside down sometimes.

If that were to occur...

What would you do?

My family came to the states when I was a kid.

When I was 19, a man pulled me into an alley,

held a knife to my throat.

But what I discovered...

Is that when things get bad, I get good.

I stay calm and think straight.

What happened in the alley?

I fought him.

He ran off.

And here I am today, telling you the story.

Which...

Which I could also tell you in flawless Russian.

Let us be lovers we'll marry our fortunes together.

I've got some real estate here in my bag

so we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
