- HARRY: Previously on The Equalizer...
- (ALARM STOPS)

ROBYN: How's it going,
Harry? Enjoying being dead?

I'm asking Rob to
help me live again.

Federal agents! Don't move!

Harry "Keys" Keshegian, you
are under arrest for espionage.

You always got something
up your sleeve, don't you?

MEL: They're releasing him.

ROBYN: So, what do you think?

Think I got my life back.

ROBYN: I serve as an equalizer.

It's what I was put
on this earth to do.

Has anybody seen Bert?

He's 20 minutes late.

Anybody seen him today?

Yesterday?

Vince, get him on
the damn phone!

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

(SINGING) I don't care
what you say anymore

This is my life

Go ahead with your own life

Leave me alone...

(PHONE RINGING)

A second chance

I never said I was a
victim of circumstance

I still belong...

(MUSIC DISTORTING)

Good morning.

(PHONE CLICKING)

Hello?

(HIP-HOP PLAYING FAINTLY)

Ooh, uh, morning, Mom.

You know,

we've been so busy
lately, why don't we plan

a family weekend?

We could try that
new Indian place

or we could, you
know, go for a drive.

In my spaceship.

Hello? What happened to our rule

about no phones at the table?

Especially you, Aunt Vi.

I know, I know, just
give me a minute.

Th... I'm trying to
avert a disaster.

My Spades partner just canceled.

And I'm hosting.

Kat and Cecil are gonna
be here in a couple of hours.

How long's your meeting?

Long enough for
you to count me out.

- Oh, God.
- But why don't you make

- Dee your partner?
- Sorr... What?

Remember we used to play?

She was good. I
mean, really good.

Yeah, when she was eight.

She hasn't played since then.

No. I-I... I have a lot

riding on this, okay?

I have lost to these two the
last six times we've played,

and they just won't
shut up about it.

They keep rubbing my nose
in it every chance they get.

Why do you even play with them?

It doesn't even sound like
you like them very much.

I like them just fine. It's...
Trash talk is part of the fun,

but not when you
lose every time.

No offense, Dee, but I need

a more seasoned partner.

It-It's okay, Aunt Vi.

It's not like I want to
sit around talking trash

with a bunch of old... er

than me people.

Sorry, Aunt Vi.

Oh, it's fine.

Yes, indeed, we are older.

And a good thing for you,
too, because, you know what?

People your age don't even have

the bandwidth it takes to
play a game like Spades.

Oh, you know what? Well,
maybe that's because it's boring.

- Ooh.
- Okay, now, you know what?

I mean, just the truth.

- Sorry.
- Neutral corners.

Aunt Vi, instead of struggling
to find a new partner,

why don't you just give
Dee a refresher course?

I mean, with your losing streak,

how much worse than your
regular partner can she be?

Okay. You have a point.

And you, your aunt needs you.

And you need a break
from that screen time.

Plus, you might have fun.

This is gonna be great.

Books on 'em.

Books on 'em. Ah...

No sandbagging.

Okay. Get the cards.

- (BELL DINGS)
- COOK: Order up.

ROBYN: Bert Singer?

(SHUSHES) Not so loud. Please.

(EXHALES) T-Thank God you came.

I was, I was... I was
afraid you wouldn't show.

Your message
said "life or death."

It's definitely death
if you can't help.

Are you familiar
with the Romanos?

- The crime family?
- Yeah.

JC Romano is after you?

Well, if he isn't, he will be.

I'm-I'm his accountant.

Well, this is not gonna
work. I don't help criminals.

I'm not.

I mean, I'm not anymore.

And when I took
the job, I didn't know.

I thought the restaurant
was a legit business.

And when you found
out they weren't?

Well, of course I
wanted out, but I was...

I was terrified.

And-and then my mom got sick

and then I was underwater
with medical bills.

And... I mean, come on,

you don't just walk
away from the mob.

Except I-I just did.

(EXHALES)

Okay. I'm interested.

Why now?

Well, my mom died last year,

and I realized I didn't have
anything keeping me here.

Just my own cowardice.

And so I decided that I was
gonna do something that I knew

she would've been proud of.

I went to the Feds

and I offered to testify
against the Romanos

and to turn over their
ledger detailing exactly

what they've been doing.

Money laundering,
racketeering, all of it.

And in return, I get
witness protection

and a chance to start over.

So why are you sitting here with
me and not FBI headquarters?

(EXHALES) Yesterday, when I
was on my way to meet my handler,

I stopped at a coffee
shop to use the facilities,

and when I came back out...

- You got to be kidding. The car was...
- Yeah.

Stolen.

And you left the ledger inside?

I thought that it would be okay.

I-I had stashed it inside
the-the side panel of the door.

I was... That was smart, right?

- You think the Romanos took it?
- If it was them,

they wouldn't have just
taken the car, I would be

in a landfill in
Jersey right now.

Did you tell the Feds this?

We can't put you in WITSEC
if you're not a witness.

I'm still willing to testify.

Yes, but without the ledger,
your testimony is worthless.

I thought we were
clear about that.

Please.

If you don't help me get
that ledger back, then...

I'm a dead man. (EXHALING)

- Breathe. Bert.
- (SNIFFLES, GRUNTS)

In and out. Look at me.

I'm gonna help you.

We'll find the ledger.

Thank you.

Um...

- How?
- If it's hidden,

whoever stole the car
probably doesn't know it's there.

We just have to find the car.

How's this? Yeah?

It's fine.

Fine like actually fine or
"you're a lost cause" fine?

You don't have to look
nice. You just have to be nice.

Right, well, I would, if she ever
acknowledged my presence.

Oh, come on, it
wasn't like that.

Honey, come on.

I know Shira's your
best friend, but I mean,

you must realize
how little she liked me.

(EXHALES) She liked you.

Right, which is why
she tried to set you up

with her brother at our wedding.

That was a joke.

It was hilarious.

Well, you don't have to worry,

because today it's
me she's gonna hate.

You guys have been
friends since you were kids.

Okay? She's gonna understand.

- She's gonna understand?
- Yeah.

That I've been
lying to her for years

about you being dead?

When you died,
Shira appointed herself

my personal grief counselor.

I mean, she was
really there for me.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

No.

But I can't keep lying to her.

What if she doesn't forgive me?

She's gonna forgive
you. Okay? She loves you.

I hope so.

And how could anyone
not love this face, huh?

(PHONE RINGING)

I'm telling you, she doesn't.

Hey, what's up, Rob?

Hey, I need you to
help me find a stolen car.

'95 DeVille. Taken
yesterday afternoon.

I just texted you

the plate and VIN number.

Okay, I can do that. Let's see.

That's too old for OnStar.

If it had LoJack, we wouldn't
be having this conversation.

Doesn't look like it's had
any tickets since yesterday.

Nothing in the
kaleidoscope database.

Do you know if the
car had an E-ZPass?

Do you have E-ZPass?

Yeah. Does that help?

We'll find out. Yeah.

Okay, here we go.

I'm getting into
his account now.

Looks like the, uh, car crossed

the George Washington
Bridge into New Jersey

- at 4:47 a.m.
- Okay, that's a start.

Now, hold on a
second. I'm not done.

E-ZPass also uses
active RFID technology.

Which means it's constantly
broadcasting a signal.

Uh-huh. It's not just
scanning you at tollbooths.

They got readers all over
the city, they can track

your every movement
if they want to.

It's another way Big Brother
can always have eyes on you.

Okay, looks like it last pinged

a tower across the bridge
near Ridgefield Park.

You can adjust
that seat, you know.

No, I-I know, I just, I-I
fidget when I'm anxious.

Used to drive my mother crazy.

(EXHALES)

Okay, so then, let's get
your mind on something else.

You said you
wanted to start over,

so how do you see your new life?

I want to open a nursery.

For kids?

No, plants.

When my-my mother
got sick, she was too weak

to take care of her garden,
so I started doing it and...

(EXHALES) Yeah, at first,
it was for her, but then...

It's... it's not easy keeping
a garden in New York.

Not with the
winters that we get.

I mean, if you want dahlias
or begonias or petunias?

Forget about it. They
need a temperate climate.

But bulb plants? Take the tulip.

All right, that is a survivor.

It'll bloom up to 20 below.

Impressive.

Right? (CHUCKLES)

The soft colors,
fragrant little petals.

It's amazing how something
so delicate can be so resilient.

- Now, snapdragons are interesting...
- Hold your dragons.

That car over there
with the tarp on it?

That dent

in the bumper, the tape,

that-that's my
car. You found it.

- That...
- See?

Now all we have to do is
get the ledger out of the door.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

No, no, no, no, no, no! My car!

They stripped it.

Where are the doors?

Where are the doors?

Get down! Shooter!

Come on. You're okay.

You're not shot. You're okay.

They sent Vince and Lou.

That's who they send when
they want someone to disappear.

Do you know what
Lou does to people?

- He-he...
- Hey! You're safe,

as long as you're with me.

You understand?

Now let's find that ledger.

How? The door's gone.

We chased down the car,

now let's go find
the thief who stole it.

But we don't know
anything about them.

We know they took
the GWB at 4:47 a.m.

The tollbooths on that
bridge don't just collect money,

they also take
nice, clear pictures.

DANTE: Kid's name
is Jackie Fowler.

He's all of 15.

Bounced around foster
homes since he was eight.

Been to juvie four times
already for boosting rides.

Kid that age? He's
not working alone.

Kid? Are you saying
a kid ruined my life?

My guy in auto crimes says

Jackie runs with a ring
of junior car thieves.

Yeah, I know that life.

He steals them,
someone else strips them.

The parts end up with
whoever's running the operation.

Usually some older guy

who gets the kids
to do his dirty work.

Auto crimes thinks the same,
but they haven't been able

to I.D. the ringleader.

Then again, they don't have you.

Thanks, Dante.

Do you think your
contact could help find out

where this kid hangs out?

(HIP-HOP SONG PLAYING)

Hey.

- What up?
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Jackie, right?

Who's asking?

Someone who
wants to do business.

I'm looking for some
hard-to-find car parts

for my boss.

I heard you might
have the hookup.

You heard wrong.

You sure you don't
want to do business?

'Cause I got the funds.

Course, I could ask
one of your friends.

Maybe they want a taste.

Wait, hold up a sec.

What kind of parts
your boss looking for?

It's a short list. You the
one to do business with?

No, but I can get you to him.

Tell you what.

Just tell me where to find him.

I'll take you there myself.

He won't talk to you otherwise.

Ha. You don't want to get
cut out of the transaction.

Smart.

Whatever's clever, lady.

(RAPPING) Beneath the
street, but it was rooted too strong

Grew to the sun, they
called it beautiful, uh-huh.

KAT: Pow!

(LAUGHTER)

(WHOOPING)

Ha, ha. Bam.

- CECIL: Bam!
- (LAUGHTER)

- (GROANS)
- Y'all set again.

Y'all can always go blind.

Nope. See your way in,

see your way out.

- CECIL: House rules.
- Mm-hmm.

Patty had the right
idea, bowing out.

At least we know
she's not to blame

for the losing streak.

And here I was
worried that Vi found her

a good luck charm.

- Yeah, for us.
- All right, now,

just leave my
great-niece out of this.

Well, if she big enough
to sit down at this table,

she big enough to
get this ass-whupping.

Big enough to give
it right back, too.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Sure.

If you ever win.

All right. I'm hungry.

You mind if we take
a little snack break?

Yeah, I think I'll join you.

You can break all you
want, but it ain't gonna stop

this Boston we about to run.

It's like, "Toot,
toot, toot to Boston."

- (LAUGHTER)
- I don't understand it.

You're playing well.
I'm holding my own.

This has got to be the
worst luck I've had in years.

You're joking, right?

It's not luck. They're cheating.

What?

Auntie. Cecil's reneged twice.

Kat's signaling to
Cecil which card to play.

Okay, take a sip of your
drink with your right hand,

play a spade.

Use your left, low card.

Yeah. She tries to
be smooth with it,

but she does it every time.

Those sneaky bastards.

- I know.
- I knew something had to be going on.

Nobody's that lucky.

Okay, so what are we gonna do?

You're gonna call
them out, right?

Well, I'm not so
sure about that.

No. You cannot let
them get away with this.

Oh, don't worry, I'm not
letting them off the hook.

But a confrontation
can be so ugly,

and be over so quickly.

I want to enjoy this.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Wait here.

I got some business for Floyd.

Come on.

Hey, let me do
the talking, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Y-You need a little more sun.

Me?

No, I'm s-sorry.

Uh, your monstera?

She's got more
than enough water,

which you can tell because
of the yellow leaves.

But she's just a little
sad in the shade, is all.

Just, you know, a
couple days outside,

she'll perk right up.

Sometimes I know how she feels.

Me, too.

This them?

(POT SHATTERS)

Woman, can you not?
I'm trying to do business.

Sorry, I was just trying to...

Did I ask? Just leave.

I'll deal with you at the crib.

(SCOFFS) Stupid.

No, actually, I was the
one that suggested...

Was I talking to you?

No.

So, what do you two want?

Obviously, you're busy,

so I'll get straight
to the point.

Jackie here stole
a Caddy yesterday,

and it belongs to my client.

You stripped it, and
we want the parts back.

- Floyd, man, she said that...
- Shut up.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

We done here.

I don't want to go to the cops.

Unless I have to.

So let's keep it simple.

You're a businessman.
We'll buy them back.

You some kind of fixer?

Something like that.
How's market rate sound?

Sound low. Them
parts hard to come by.

If I had them.

I got to take care
of my man here.

Add another 50% of market.

That'll cost.

You got the funds?

(WHISPERS) Yeah,
but we just need the door.

Okay. Market plus 50.

Not yet. You a fixer, right?

You want those parts, I'm gonna
need you to do one more thing.

Which is?

See, I'm almost done
rebuilding a '71 Chevelle.

Sweet ride, but I
need the original radio.

I know where one is.

Alonzo's Junkyard.

Thing is, me and
Alonzo have history.

And he won't sell it to you.

No matter how high I go.

But he'll sell it to you.

Bring me that radio
and we got a deal.

All right, so where
is this place?

Not far.

Jackie will show you.

(SINGING) One,
two, three, four...

(LAUGHTER)

And then you said, "Do you
still carry a gun in your purse?"

(BOTH LAUGH)

All right, you were
the one who swore

the cabbie was gonna kidnap
us, and our parents had no idea

we were in Mexico,
so I had to improvise.

- You might've saved our lives.
- Yes!

(BOTH LAUGH)

When are you gonna come
stay at my beach house?

- Oh...
- We would have so much fun.

Oh, and my brother

- is gonna be there.
- Mm.

You know, Brock
never really got over you.

Okay. (EXHALES)

Shira, I got to tell
you something, okay?

Wait, wait, wait. Me first.

- Okay, I got a surprise for you.
- Okay.

(GASPS)

Oh.

- Brock? Good to see you.
- (LAUGHS)

- Ah...
- Ooh!

Ah, Melli Vanelli.

You look amazing.

You brought Brock.

Come on, it's been five years.
You've mourned long enough.

Okay, I should've
gone first. Shira...

You know what? Here it goes.

- Harry?
- Harry?

- Oh, um...
- Hi, Shira.

You're-you're alive.

I'm alive. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I can explain.

You can explain?

You can explain what,
that you lied to me?

No, no, no. She-she
didn't, she didn't lie to you.

I've spent so much
time worrying about you,

and you just, you just let me?

We had good reasons, okay?

There were really good reasons.
We weren't telling anyone...

Oh, okay, okay. So
now I'm just "anyone"?

- No. Okay...
- No, no, no, it's all good.

Guess I see where I stand.

No, that's not what I meant.
Can you just listen to me?

- Sorry, I got to go.
- No!

- Wait, where are you going?
- Goodbye.

Shira, wait.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I can't be in here. No
one from Floyd's crew can,

not without getting
their ass beat.

But you guys will be cool.

(METAL CREAKING)

Uh, m-maybe I
should wait in the car.

Just stay close. And stop that.

Sorry.

BERT: Hey, wh...
Don't-don't shoot.

We're here to see Alonzo.

Bert.

- There is no Alonzo.
- (GUN COCKS)

Thought you were slick, having
me take you to Floyd, huh?

Who's slick now?

(LAUGHS)

I'm telling you, you're
making a mistake.

You think there's something
valuable in those car parts.

Drugs, cash.

But what's there

is only valuable to us.

We'll see about that.

Right, Wick?

Boys.

Yo, what the hell, Wick?

How you gonna do me like this?

Sorry, Jackie, but you can't be
bringing heat like this to the shop.

- Floyd says you got to go.
- Come on.

- Let's go.
- JACKIE: This is messed up, Wick.

- This ain't right.
- You, too.

Wait, uh...

Wait, wait, can-can we just...
Can we talk about this, please?

You guys can keep
the car parts, okay?

(BUZZING)

BERT: Hey! Please.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Help!

It's crushing us!

- Please!
- (GRUNTING)

(GUN COCKS)

Help! You got to stop it!

Please!

It's crushing us!

(ALARM BUZZES)

(PANTING)

BERT: Let me out. Oh!

(PANTING)

BERT: You know, Vince and Lou

won't have to kill me. A
coronary will do it for them.

Would you calm
down? You're safe now.

You, on the other hand, are not.

Where's Floyd
keeping those parts?

I don't know, okay?

Maybe you thought I
was somebody to Floyd,

but clearly I'm not,
so just leave me alone.

Oh, no, no, no. You in it now.

Why? What's the deal

- with these car parts, anyway?
- The deal is

if I don't get them back, I die.

Not that you care.

Bert worked for a criminal, too.

And then he grew a conscience,

so now he wants
to take him down.

Looks like that conscience
working out real good.

Hey. Sometimes it's not
always about what's easy.

It's about what's
right. In here.

And I'm guessing

this hasn't felt right
to you in a long time.

Simply put, you want somebody

to care about you, you
need to care about them.

I don't know where Floyd has
the parts. That's straight up.

I do know this.

If Floyd thought there was
something valuable in them,

- he already has it by now.
- BERT: No, no.

The ledger is my life, okay?
We've got to get it back.

You got to find him first.

The man has spots
all over the city.

- You have his cell?
- Yeah,

but he sure as hell ain't
taking a call from me.

Who says we're calling him?

Shira's not answering the phone.

Just give her a
chance. She'll call back.

I don't think she will.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Rob.

Hey. Can you
track a cell for me?

Yes, yes. Yes, I can.

Uh, s-send it to me.

(MESSAGE SENDS)

All right.

Your guy is, uh, uptown,

Washington Heights.

Looks like he's on St.
Nick's near 175th Street.

St. Nicholas mean
anything to you?

Yeah. Floyd's got a spot there.

It's where he takes
his side chicks.

Side chicks? (SCOFFS)

That poor girl deserves
so much better.

Come on. I'll take you up there.

(WHISPERS) Hey. Hey.

You really want to
trust this weasel?

You want your ledger back?

He's not a bad kid.

"He's not a bad kid"?

He just walked us
into a death trap.

Everybody deserves
a second chance.

Don't you think, Bert?

Okay.

All right, everybody.
Break's over.

CECIL: You sure you
want some more of this?

You might need some cocoa
butter for that last beating.

- (ALL LAUGH)
- VI: Yeah, you funny.

You a stand-up comedian, right?

- All right, let me just get these out...
- Oh.

But I'm not finished.

VI: Oh, I'm so sorry.

Now they're all mixed up. Let
me get you some fresh ones.

Ooh, Aunt Vi, there are none.

They're all dirty.

Dee, they wouldn't be if somebody
had done the dishes when I asked.

DELILAH: Oh, I'm
sorry. I put them

in the dishwasher.
It's running now.

There it is. There.

It should only take an hour

for them to be
finished, right, Dee?

Yeah. Maybe a little less.

Now...

Let's play some cards.

JACKIE: This one here.

Floyd's place is
on the third floor.

- 3C.
- Where are you going?

Coming with you.

Floyd tried to kill
you once today.

You really want to give
him a second chance?

- Fine.
- Just watch Bert.

What? I'm not
staying alone with him.

You know what? I'll stay here.

ROBYN: Fool.

Probably tried to
sell it back to the mob.

(DOOR OPENS)

- Hey, don't shoot.
- What happened?

There's two of them.
They have guns.

They took him. They took Bert.

- What did they look like?
- How should I know that?

I just saw some guns, and I ran.

Well, do you remember
anything about them?

All I heard was Bert

called one of them Vince, okay?

The mob got him.

The mob? He's as good as dead.

Wait. Why isn't he dead?

They should've gunned
him down right here.

Which means they
want something from him.

Like what? They already
got the ledger from Floyd.

Maybe they didn't.

This place was
tossed when I got here,

- which means...
- Floyd didn't bring it.

So if those guys
don't have it...

Then we still got a play.

But we need Floyd's phone.

(BERT GRUNTS)

VINCE: Come on, Bert.
We've known each other

a long time. You've always
been a reasonable guy.

I swear, I don't know
where the ledger is.

If I did, I would tell you.

(GRUNTS)

Damn it, Lou.

You know I've got a bad stomach.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Still looking for that ledger?

Who is this?

Not important. Just focus on
how you're gonna get it back.

Yeah? You gonna
try to sell it back

to me like that other chooch?

No. But I'll trade it

- for Bert's life.
- VINCE: Listen, lady,

I don't know who you
think you're dealing with...

I know who I'm dealing
with. Vince and Lou

of the Romano crime family.

And I know the FBI would be
very interested in that ledger.

So any harm comes to Bert,

and it winds up with the Feds.

Or I could bring it to you.

Your choice.

Fine.

Bring it to us, and
you can have Bert.

Send me the address.

So you can send
the cops over here?

You get the address when
you prove you have the ledger.

It's not with me right now.

It'll take me a
few hours to get it.

You have one. Got that?

You bring that ledger
to me in one hour

or your friend's dead.

(SIGHS)

Okay, we got to move fast.

Can you think of any place
Floyd might have stashed it?

He's got this
place at his office.

It's this locked
drawer in his desk.

I've seen him store some
cash in there before, too.

He keeps the key
on his key chain.

That's it.

But how are we gonna
get in there, though?

Because Wick and his guys,
they're all gonna be there.

And they're not gonna be
the happiest people to see you

being that you just kicked
their ass at the junkyard.

Maybe we can't get in there,

but there's someone
else who can.

RAE: I should be crying.

He was all I had.

He hurt people. He had a temper.

But he could also
make you feel special.

At first. Until
he'd reel you in.

Rae, we need your help.

If this is about his
business, I try to stay out of it.

Didn't have the head for it.

Rae, do you remember
the man you met before?

The one who told you
everything about your plant.

Yeah, he was sweet.

ROBYN: His name is
Bert, and he's in trouble.

Floyd stole something from him,

and if we don't get it back,

some really bad men are gonna

kill him.

The thing Floyd stole, we
think he hid it in his office.

- We need you to get it.
- He never let me in there.

Wick would know
something was up.

Not if you were clever about it.

Clever? You're talking
to the wrong person.

That's Floyd talking.

That's exactly what
he'd want you to believe

so you could rely on him.

He did it to all of us, Rae.

I fell for it, too,
and I'm as smart

as they come.

Floyd had us do
some pretty bad things.

This is our chance
to do something good.

Rae, I have a plan.

But it doesn't work unless
you get in that office.

I know you can do
it. But we don't have

a lot of time, so
will you help me

save Bert's life?

(CLATTERING, WHIRRING)

(KEYS JINGLE)

(TOOL WHIRS)

(DOOR OPENS)

What are you doing in here?

Why do you have Floyd's keys?

He sent me.

To bring him some
papers from his desk.

He never gives
anyone those keys.

He said it was
urgent. Because...

Wait, he didn't tell you?

- I guess it's need-to-know.
- I don't know what you're talking...

- MAN: Wick, come here.
- There's something up with Floyd.

Stay right there.

(KEYS JINGLING)

RAE: Where is it?

This drawer should be deeper.

Think, Rae. Think.

(EXHALES)

WICK: Bitch lied to me!

They're coming. Go! Go!

(EXHALES)

Yeah. No. I know. I just...

No, I-I got to go.

Shira.

I don't want to hear it, Harry.

How did you even find me?

Doesn't matter. Listen, I
get... I get you never liked me.

All right? I took your
best friend away.

I wasn't good enough
for her. Whatever. I get it.

Okay, listen, I'm not here
for me. This is about Mel.

She hated lying to you.

Really. She did.

But she had to do it. I swear.

I can't get into it. I...

But-but it had to do
with the government

and-and high-level
secrets, but she did it

to protect me, and
she did it to protect you.

You can hate me, okay?

But not Mel.

All right? After...

After everything
I put her through.

The fear, the isolation.
It was like a death.

But you were the only
one who was there for her.

You were there for
her when I couldn't be.

You were the one
who kept her sane.

Y-You know what she
said to me this morning?

- What?
- That you

are the only one who knows her.

You're the only one
who knows who she was,

why she is who she is.

So, please, come
on. What do you say?

Just give her another chance.

Let her back into
your life. Please.

I have to go.

That's it.

Time's up.

Head or chest, Bert?

Which hurts less?

I don't know. Never asked.

Who you gonna ask? Not
like you take an exit poll.

Head's quicker but messier.

Chest just as fast
if you do it right.

I'll tell you what, Bert.

We'll do both.

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

- Wait!
- LOU: Who the hell are you?

- I brought the ledger.
- Give it here.

I don't think so. Let him
go first. That's the deal.

How's this for a deal?
Give me that book,

and I don't shoot
you in the face.

Okay, okay. Damn.

Open it.

What's this supposed to be?

A diversion.

No sudden moves.

Jackie, get their guns.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I can't... I can't
believe you guys came.

Did you really find the ledger?

With a little help.

She's the one who got
the ledger back for us.

And risked her
neck to do it, too.

Really?

You did this for me?

I'm just glad you're safe.

"Safe." Yeah, right.

None of you is getting
out of here alive.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- (TIRES SQUEALING)

(LINE RINGING)

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- They're not answering.

Search the building.

Don't come out without
Bert's dead body.

Got it. You heard
the man! Let's go!

You four, search the
ground floor. Rest of you,

go to the top and
make your way down.

Okay, we got a problem.

You'll be safe in
there. Lock the door.

Wait, wh-what are you gonna do?

My job.

Go, go. Hurry.

(LOCK CLICKS)

(BOTH PANTING)

Are you all right?

I'm scared.

Yeah.

It's gonna be okay.

Find them.

ROBYN: Jackie, now.

- What's that?
- (BLOWS LANDING)

Someone's in here.

Hey!

- (MEN GRUNTING)
- (GUNSHOTS)

Do you see her?

ROBYN: Hey.

Jackie!

You think that's all of them?

Romano.

(WHISPERING) I think it's over.

- Come on.
- ROMANO: Hey,

scumbag.

- (BERT GRUNTS)
- (SCREAMS, SOBBING)

Bert! Bert, no.

(CRYING) He was so sweet.

He was so brave.

Bert...

(BERT GASPS)

You really think I'm brave?

- Bert.
- (BERT GRUNTING)

Oh.

I am brave, aren't I?

(SIREN WAILING)

Okay, here it is.

ROBYN: You just saved
that man's life today.

Doesn't that feel good? In here?

I guess.

He's still a dumbass for
leaving that book in the car.

Everybody makes bad choices.

Not everybody gets
a chance to fix them.

Smart ones take advantage of it.

You're not very
subtle, you know.

Wasn't trying to be.

If you ever need
my help, Jackie...

Ooh! Bert got some
swagger in his step.

- JACKIE: Mm-hmm.
- What? No.

Well, maybe.

You earned it.

You're a new man.

With a new lease on life.

Well, I intend to
make the most of it.

That doesn't mean...?

That's right.

I'm going into witness
protection with him.

Nice, Rae.

Well, nothing's keeping me here,

and Bert's done more
for me in the last few hours

than anyone else my whole life.

Well, you just
needed a little sun.

Yes, okay? It feels good. Happy?

I am.

("THE OTHER SIDE" BY
JUDITH HILL PLAYING)

(DOOR OPENS)

I'll have my usual.

(SINGING) As long as
we have each other...

Make it two.

I'm forgiving you.

(EXHALES)

Wow.

I know.

You can thank your husband.

That man can talk.

- He is exhausting.
- (CHUCKLES)

But he loves the
hell out of you.

Hey, listen.

I really am sorry.

To being sorry.

- (EXHALES, CLEARS THROAT)
- (CHUCKLES)

Hey, wait a minute.
How is Brock single?

I thought he was
married to Debbie Austin.

No, he cheated on her.

He cheated on...

Girl, you were gonna
fix me up with him?

- Oh, my God.
- I just...

I mean, I just really
wanted to be sisters.

We're gonna get through,
get through, yeah...

We don't need Brock for that.

- No. We don't.
- Right?

- We need tequila for that.
- All right, sister. Yeah.

- One more.
- (LAUGHING) What?

I mean...

(LAUGHTER)

- SHIRA: Have you met us?
- MEL: Okay, ready?

Okay, don't think. Go.

SHIRA: I don't know.

- I don't know. (LAUGHS)
- Okay, let's talk about you.

Hold on, yeah.

DELILAH: My favorite part?

Okay, the look on
her face when I cut

- her ace now?
- Oh! Oh, girl.

- Hello.
- I swear she wanted to slap you.

- She did. (LAUGHS)
- VI: I swear to God!

Somebody must have had
a good day around here.

Oh, you don't
know the half of it.

- That losing streak that I had going?
- (LAUGHS)

It is over thanks to
this one right here.

- You finally beat Cecil and Kat?
- VI: Girl,

we whupped their ass.

(ALL LAUGH)

All right, baby girl here,
she know how to bid.

- We bid a Boston, and we ran it.
- Yep.

- We ran it!
- You ran a Boston on them?

- DELILAH: Okay, no, no, no.
- VI: I thought Cecil's head

- was gonna explode. For real.
- Wait, wait. Okay, but who knew

Aunt Vi was so fierce, though?

I swear she almost cut Kat
with a card multiple times.

- Multiple times.
- Listen, you come from a long line

of fierce, competitive women.

- She has inherited the gene, trust me.
- ROBYN: Ah!

That's my baby girl.

- Facts. Aw.
- Okay, okay. Well,

what are we waiting for?

Shuffle

- and deal. (LAUGHS)
- Watch out.

That was my baby
girl. Now I got to cut her.

I don't think you
can handle us two.

I don't think she can,
either. She's not sat down

- at a card table in years. Look at her.
- Please.

I'm feeling hungry. Anybody
want some of that Indian food

- we were talking about earlier?
- Loser pays.

- Oh, no.
- I'm not paying.

You're going to treat me.

Cut the cards.

- DELILAH: You got it.
- ROBYN: Cut them cards right there.

- All right! Here we go. Look at it.
- VI: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

- Deal the cards. Deal the cards.
- ROBYN: Let me tell you something.

- Deal the cards now.
- You are going to be paying

- for my Kashmiri naan.
- Come on, now. Shoot.

- For my saag paneer.
- Please.

- For my chicken tikka masala.
- All that talking.

- You paying for all...
- Let's just play the game.
