You scared me. Oh baby.

This should be enough for a few days.

Thank you, honey.

I thought you might enjoy this.

Oh, I will.

You guys never thought this was how you
get caught up in your reading, huh?

I was thinking more like a week on a
tropical beach, you, me, and a suitcase

full of great books.

Maybe we should do that once this is all
over.

I still couldn't get the money.

I got nowhere else to ask.

I didn't think it'd be that easy to come
up with that kind of cash.

Nope. I don't know how I'm going to get
it, but I do know that Kyle's going to

be looking for it.

We'll figure it out.

Yeah, how?

I don't know just yet, but somehow I'm
going to go call my sister.

She's not going to have the money.

No, but she'll have some ideas.

Janice, hey, it's Maggie.

Listen, I need your help. Can you meet
me in about an hour?

Great, I'll pick you up.

Carl, please.

Maggie Madison.

You don't happen to have $90,000 in cash
stash waiting for you, do you?

No. Why?

Remember I told you that Matt had a
little gambling problem?

Yeah. It got big.

About a week ago, I got caught up in a
high-six poker game, and as usual, luck

wasn't with me.

Jesus, who does he owe? My old
boyfriend, Carl.

Shit. A few days ago, Matt went to go
see Carl to tell him he couldn't come up

with the money, and through Matt's
fingers, we're breaking.

Carl gave us until today, but we still
can't come up with the money.

I don't know what to do, Janice.

The only thing I can think of is to go
see Carl myself.

Maggie, you're playing with fire.

Fire I can handle.

Not dead, I can't.

I've been meeting with him today at six.

Does Matt know you're going to see Carl?

Matt doesn't even know I know Carl.

I never told him.

Why didn't you tell me about this a few
days ago? This is serious.

Matt didn't want anyone to know that he
had screwed up. Thought he could handle

it on his own, but he can't.

He's in hiding right now.

I don't have a choice, Janice. I have to
go see Carl.

What can I do?

I need help making a plan to get Matt
out of this no matter what I have to do.

And I think I know what Carl really
wants.

Okay. You need to borrow that 60 red
dress of yours.

Maggie Madison?

Yes. Hello.

I'm Lisa, Carl's assistant.

Carl's expecting you.

Won't you follow me?

You still drink scotch?

Yes.

These are my two bodyguards, Tori and
Sasha.

Ladies, will you excuse us, please?

Well, things have changed.

Not everything.

You still look beautiful, Maggie.

Thank you.

Mr. Peter Wright, you know why I'm here.

Yes, you're...

Hudson is having trouble coming up with
the money he owed me and seems to have

subsequently disappeared.

Well, when you break someone's fingers,
they tend to feel the need to disappear.

That was just a reminder.

It was more than simply a reminder,
Carl.

Well, for this purpose, I'm here.

Let's work it out.

What do you propose?

Bottom line is, we can't get the money.

So I'd like to cut a deal.

You leave Matt alone.

I offer my services to pay off the debt.

What services are we referring to?

I'll work in any of your nightclubs. The
casino, the gentleman's club, double

shifts.

Well, how noble of you.

But that's totally unacceptable.

The only thing I'm willing to accept in
lieu of full payment is you.

Did you really think I would accept
anything else?

No. No.

So we have a deal.

Not so fast. I have terms.

As do I.

Promise you'll be as much as a gentleman
as you can be.

Promise you'll leave Matt unharmed.

And promise that the debt is paid out
after one week.

Not too rich, Maggie. Two weeks.

Only one, and that's final.

And my conditions are, you are to stay
here with me.

You will be available to me when I want
your company, and you will stay in my

bed willingly and openly.

I accept your terms. Will you accept
mine?

Yes.

Then we have a deal.

I may end up hating you, Carl.

Actually, I think you still love me, or
else you wouldn't be here.

I'm here for Matt.

Time to show your good faith.

What are you doing?

Going home.

We struck a deal.

It begins tonight.

But I've got to get my things. You gave
your word, Maggie.

You don't want me to have to go look for
Matt now, do you?

Thank you.

I like it.

Morning, Maggie.

What time is it?

Time for breakfast.

Oh, wow.

Yes, Maggie, things have changed.

I finally understood what you meant by
appreciating things in life.

This looks amazing.

Well, it will be.

My chef is from Paris, and he never
disappoints.

That's great.

What better way to renew a friendship
than over good food, hmm?

Orange juice?

Fresh squeeze.

Thank you.

Do you still like your eggs sunny side
up?

I do.

Well, today they're scrambled, but I'll
make sure the chef makes them sunny side

up from now on.

Carl, this is unbelievable.

You've never thought I've remembered so
many little details before.

I didn't realize they were important
until it was too late.

I realized a lot of other things too
late as well.

Listen, I'm having a dinner here tonight
at 7 p.m.

The guest is a surprise I think you'll
like. I want you to join us.

Okay.

All right, well, I have a business
meeting to go to.

After you finish eating, you should
check out the backyard I had a pool put

in.

I will.

Oh, hi. Good morning.

Carl wanted me to take your
measurements.

He wants me to order some clothing items
for you.

Okay.

He just has this belief that women
should be well-dressed.

To quote Carl, all beautiful things
should be accented to enhance their

inherent beauty.

Well, he's so surprised.

What's that?

Nothing.

What's that for?

For the stylist, so she can choose your
colors.

I'll get these right to the stylist so
she can have a dress ready for you for

tonight.

Thank you.

You have some time to yourself until 6
p.m.

Please be back by then so you can be
dressed and have your hair set.

Oh, it's Lisa from Carl's office.

I'll be driving those measurements by.

I'll need one dress by 6 p.m.

Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for meeting me. Yeah. I don't
have a lot of time to pick up stuff.

I'm going to go see Matt and tell him
it's okay to come home.

Oh.

So, I take it you were right about what
Carl really wanted me. Yeah, me.

I think he's using this to try to win me
back.

Gosh. Well, now what?

Oh, I'll tell you the rest when I finish
packing.

What do you mean you didn't change?

You really put us down.

He was thoughtful, attentive, generous.

Don't be fooled by him, Maggie. He's
going to try to do anything to win you

back. I know. I guess it's just a part
of me that wants to believe in him.

I was so in love with him once, and I
always hope to become this really great

person. Well, fight it.

Just keep sight of your goal.

Don't worry.

I really love Matt.

Carl was part of my path, and he's going
to stay there.

It's just going to be tough.

Well, I'll help you through it.

Okay? So, what are you going to tell
Matt?

As little as possible.

I'll tell him I have to work a lot next
week, and I won't be seeing much of him.

And do you think he'll believe that?

Maybe. I don't know, Janice.

I don't have it all figured out, but I
do know I have to give the performance

of a lifetime.

Make Matt believe that everything's
okay, and make Carl believe that he has

me. For now.

Just be careful with Carl, honey. I
think once a snake, always a snake.

Right.

Thank you.

Pour us all drinks, Tori. I want to
celebrate my success today.

It's not every day you get a $10 million
loan, interest-free.

Some call it extortion.

I call it skillful negotiation.

That means the development is 100% go.

And you can lend me your money?

Very good, Sasha. You're learning. Yes,
indeed.

Cheers.

Ladies, I just realized it's been a
while since we celebrated properly.

I have to go.

I wish you didn't have to leave.

You can go with me.

Me too.

I'm going to have to start working at
the casino tonight.

God, I hate that thought of you working
there.

Looking for Carl.

Oh, it won't be that bad.

I'm working in the VIP room, and Carl's
letting me pay off the debt quick.

Only a week.

I've got to warn you, though, I won't be
around much next week.

I'll be working double shifts and lots
of nights.

Maggie, this means a lot to me.

Would you stop by me when I screwed up?

Of course I would.

I... I'm a lucky guy.

Who wants to know I know that?

Love you too, baby.

I gotta go.

Come on, girl.

We're not together.

Oh, good to see you again, Judge.

And you too, my dear.

I think I read that you recently stepped
down from the bench.

Yes. The state allows us to retire early
once an elected term is up.

Oh, do you miss it?

He's still in it. He has his cronies
that keep him in the loop.

And calls, curious mind. It's always
wondering what they're going to tell me.

And now, not that I mean to be rude to
you, but we should probably move on to

our discussion.

I need to be leaving shortly.

Maggie, the judge and I have some
personal business to discuss.

Would you mind excusing us?

No, not at all.

Go check out the bedroom.

They have the prize up there for you.

Take care, Judge.

And the same to you.

So, what else has surfaced?

Rumor is the prosecution has found a
credible witness.

Who? Don't know yet, but not to worry,
Carl.

I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Anyway, there is a certain young
assistant to the DA in David something

or other who is apparently quite a
drinker.

Did your sources check him out?

Oh, yes.

And they found him to be quite
loose-lipped when under the influence.

Excellent. I'm sure you can squeeze him
for information regarding this witness.

Yeah. What's his specific vice?

Oh, same as any man's.

A beautiful woman and a good bottle of
scotch.

All the information is in here,
including a photo of his identification,

a list of his routine, and a schedule of
the bars he frequents.

The first one on the list is his
favorite, an easy target.

Thank you.

Thank you for your continued generosity
to an old man.

Enjoy your evening, Carl.

You let me know the instant you hear
anything.

I will.

Hey

guys,

I got some wine. Might as well take the
edge off the day.

John's not here.

He got delayed an hour.

A whole hour?

45 minutes, give or take.

Oh.

Well, I guess we better save the wine
for John, then.

You like it?

Yes.

Well, you don't seem particularly
enthusiastic.

My feelings can't be bought, Carl.

What? Giving me generous gifts isn't
going to make me love you anymore.

I'm here for Matt.

Maggie, I would never insult you that
way.

I've been ungenerous to you in the past.
I just want to make up for it. That's

all.

You don't have to. I want to.

Now relax.

Enjoy it. You deserve it.

I mean it.

Now, I'd love to see you in that other
one, if you don't mind.

The DA's office let us know that they
finally have enough evidence to start

pursuing a pretty good case against
Carl.

As far as the extortion, money
laundering, and the murder of your

partner.

Thank you for your meticulous work.

Yeah, but we still have to find us our
witness.

So Carl doesn't walk on technicality?

Well, that's what I'm getting at.

You just got us our witness.

Really? Yeah. Who is it?

Guy's name is Brandon Byron.

Used to be Carl's accountant.

Oh, and get this.

We didn't have to flush him out. He came
to us.

Must want something.

Oh, he does.

Seems he's been on Carl's bad side for a
while. He's been hiding out.

Yeah.

He's agreed to testify in exchange for
witness protection.

This is great news, John.

So, how's your cover over Carl's? You
feel like it's still solid?

Yeah. Yeah, I do. It's just... I don't
know. It's frustrating.

He's still very guarded.

Listen, I know how dedicated you are to
getting the evidence.

But just have patience.

Don't jeopardize your cover.

All right? You with me?

Yeah.

What's the latest?

Well, Judge Jenkins was the dinner guest
tonight.

But Carl had Sasha and Tori posted at
the dining room door, so I couldn't get

anywhere near there without suspicion.

And this is Maggie Madison.

Carl had me order a new wardrobe for
her, so...

She must be his new woman, but that's
all I have.

When someone has a chance, run to check
on her.

Well, she looks familiar, but I can't
place it.

Well, guys, it's getting late.

This is David.

He works in the DA's office. I need you
to get some information from him

regarding a case against me.

No, Carl. I'm not comfortable with that.

No?

That's not part of the deal.

Well, it is now.

Unless, of course, you want to see some
more of Matt's fingers broken or maybe

his arm.

I understand he's back home now.

You promised not to touch him.

Yeah, well, sometimes the rules have to
be changed.

So what's it going to be? Broken bones
or a simple gathering of some

information?

I don't see any choice in those options,
Carl. Just force.

Look at it any way you want. What's your
answer?

Good choice.

Now, what I need you to do is get him to
warm up to you.

You know, talk about his work, et
cetera. Be subtle.

Keep working it until he gets talking
about my case.

Find out what he knows, in particular
whether the DA's office has witnesses.

What's this supposed to happen?

Tonight after dinner.

He should be having a drink at a local
bar called Harry's Pearl.

Wear that shiny thing with the black
dress you tried on last night. It'll be

perfect.

And Maggie, don't fail.

Her bones will be broken.

Red wine, please.

Know any good songs?

Uh, yeah.

D4 and F9.

Thanks. I can never remember the names
of songs.

I think I know the name of every song in
that jukebox.

I take it you come here often.

I do.

My first time had a rough day, and I
thought, well, this feels like a homey

place to unwind. It is.

Welcome to Harry's Pearl.

I'd ask you to join me, but I doubt that
you're alone.

Actually, I am.

David. Hi, Tracy.

Tell you what, Tracy.

You tell me about your rough day, I'll
tell you about mine.

Okay.

Well, this Carl guy sounds like an
interesting character. He is. Besides

extortion, the DA also respects him for
murdering a cop, so he's got this

personal vendetta against him. He's
determined to put him in jail, which

makes my life miserable.

Long hours.

Well, can't he put him in jail?
Probably.

This new witness just turned up. A good
one.

So, what'd you find out?

Well, David said the DA has a witness.

An ex-employee who used to run your
numbers.

He didn't say a name.

You haven't mentioned where this witness
was?

No.

What else?

David said the DA is determined to put
you in jail.

He thinks you murdered a cop.

Did you?

No, Maggie, of course not.

The DA is always looking for something
to pin on me.

That's why it was important that you got
this information for me. Now I know how

to prepare legally.

Hey, it's Carl.

Turns out the rumor's true. There is a
witness.

It can only be one person, my
ex-accountant, Brandon Byers.

Listen, I need a favor tonight.

Talk to your friend.

See if you can find out where he is.

Mm-hmm.

Right, exactly. Yeah.

How soon can you get back to me?

Terrific. Thanks, guys.

Tori, we have someone we need to take
care of. Call Sasha and be here in one

hour.

Nice work.

You too.

Yeah. Done.

Excellent. All right, a room has been
booked for you and Sasha under your

usual aliases.

Good work.

Yeah, Judge.

As always, your information was
accurate.

There will be an envelope at your
doorstep tomorrow afternoon.

Sleep well.

It certainly does have taste, but I
think it would look better off.

The old restaurant. A$AP.

Thank you. I will have somebody pick
that up, or I might even stop by myself.

Goodbye.

Yes,

Lisa?

Maggie's dressmaker forgot to include
some accessories.

Scarves and such.

Your afternoon is clear, so I thought
I'd stop by and pick them up myself.

I could use some fresh air.

Yes, that's fine.

What the hell was that, guys?

You are not supposed to contact me
there. I call you.

Have you forgotten that Carl is capable
of murder? I know.

I'm sorry.

Listen, there's been a new development.
Don't worry, all right? According to

Special Ops, Carl doesn't have his cell
phone tapped.

When was the last time they checked?
Less than a week ago.

Look, Lisa, we wouldn't put you in any
danger, all right?

Besides, we know you have the smarts to
work it out.

All right, I'm sorry. It's just... I
don't want to flush a year and a half of

good work down the toilet. We know.

Grab a seat.

We lost our witness last night.

Single shot to the head, close range.

Happened about 1 a.m.

Wasn't there an officer stationed
outside?

He was killed. It was obviously a
professional hit, which leads us to

believe that we have a leak.

It's pretty high up, too.

Well, that's not going to be easy.

Now we have to wait for them to screw
up.

That's right.

So what's the next step?

Well, along with the bad comes a little
good.

I think another angle may have opened
up.

What's that?

I remember where I saw Maggie Madison.

Where?

Carl's Casino, a few months ago.

And I did a little digging myself and
found out her husband has a little

gambling problem.

He's into Carl for quite a bit.

We believe she's effectively working off
his debts.

So use this. Work this angle.

She's closer to Carl.

Get her to get the information that you
can't.

Okay, how am I supposed to convince her
to do this?

The old-fashioned way.

A bribe.

We cleared it with the department to pay
off her husband's debts if she gives us

the information we need.

Pull her in with that.

Okay.

Figure something out.

We know you will.

Carl wants to see you.

Right now.

I'll be right there.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, Lisa.

I wanted to know why picking out scarves
took so long.

Oh, well, I ran a personal errand as
well.

I'm sorry, Carl. I should have asked
first. It was something I remembered at

the last minute.

Well, maybe you'll think to check in
next time, huh?

Yes, I will.

Did you give the scarves to Maggie yet?

Actually, I haven't had time yet.

Well, make sure she gets them while I'm
gone, all right?

I'm running out for a business meeting,
and then I'll be back for dinner.

Certainly.

Tell the squad that the guards are fine.

You don't seem very excited about them.

A lot to think about lately.

Anything I can help you with?

Does it have anything to do with your
husband?

What do you mean?

I know all about your husband's
problems, Maggie, and why you're here.

I didn't know Carl was in the habit of
discussing personal information with the

staff.

Hey, I gotta hand it to you. It's pretty
gutsy.

I don't understand. Why are you telling
me this?

Suppose I told you I had some friends
who could cover your husband's debt

and kick in a little bonus.

In return, all they want is some
information.

What kind of information?

The kind of information that someone in
your, shall we say,

in human position with Carl can obtain
that I can't.

Well, who are these friends?

And do they realize that if I did this,
it would put me in danger?

Carl would probably kill me if he found
out.

I can't tell you who they are right now.

But they're certain that the information
will be handled in such a way that Carl

will never suspect you as a source.

Except when Silly Matt's debts paid up
and he wondered where we got the money.

My associates are...

Quite capable of manufacturing a
death-in-the-family scenario.

It'll look like you or Matt inherited
the money.

You make it sound so simple.

You want your husband alive, and you
want to be free.

Focus on that, and it does become
simple.

Listen, I have to get something done
before dinner. This conversation is

over.

Think about it, Maggie.

You could very shortly be free of this
situation.

And by the way, I'd give this to myself
if I were you.

If need be, we can make it look like
you're already lined up with

information.

Something strange just happened.

Carl's assistant approached me with an
offer.

That she had some friends that would be
willing to cover Matt's debt if I'd get

them certain information on Carl.

But she wouldn't tell me who her friends
are.

Jen, what'd you say?

She caught me completely off guard, so I
just played it cool and cut the

conversation short.

Yeah, I wonder if Carl is trying to test
your loyalty.

Hmm, I don't know. Maybe.

Or maybe she's serious.

If she is, I don't know what I would do.
I mean, yes, I want Matt free like now.

But Carl's just someone to be played.

And to be quite honest, as twisted as it
sounds, I'm not ready to be that

disloyal to Carl yet.

Well, Maggie, it may be something you
ultimately have to do.

But until then, just don't let him
suspect a thing.

what you think of this, Maggie.

Oh my God, it's stunning.

It's yours.

I can't accept this, Carl.

You've always wanted something like this
and you've earned it.

That information you got me saved me a
lot of trouble and I thank you.

Maggie, it's yours.

I don't know, Carl.

Come on, stand up and let me see it on
you.

Got it?

Oh my God, it's beautiful.

You are a beautiful lady.

One Carl's ex-girlfriends No, apparently
Carl was like wasted one night he

started talking about all the murders he
ordered he told her everything Exactly

and I guess she figured that when he
came to you to remember all the stuff He

told her make her disappear.

So she went into ground for a while So,
where is he now and who knows about her

because we can't afford to lose another
one right now she under heavy guard

Until we know who the leak is, that
information is strictly on a need-to

-know basis.

Okay. Now, here's the other good part.

She told us about a secret safe in
Carl's place that holds a ton of files,

and it's full of incriminating evidence.

Where? In his office.

We want you to go there and get the
files.

It's impossible, Eric. It's a two-man
job. You know that.

Well, you already have a second man.

Or should I say woman?

Maggie?

Maggie? The official check on Maggie
Madison came back.

Her real name is Catherine Seavers.

She's a small-time con artist with a
series of fraud convictions that sent

her up the river for about a year.

When she got out, she went underground.

Now, along with her husband, she's the
main suspect in a series of high-society

robberies.

She's wanted for questioning in three
states.

She's been pretty busy from the looks of
this file.

And lucky for us.

One of her skills is safe cracking.

Yep.

Yes, Lisa?

You'll need to leave immediately for
your meeting with the building

contractor. I'm having the car pulled
around to the front.

And don't forget to bring the contracts
in your briefcase.

Right, right. Thank you. What would I do
without you?

Oh, listen, will you do me a favor?

Have the chef prepare a really nice meal
for Maggie night, mate, all right? I'll

be home sometime after seven.

Certainly.

Hi, Catherine.

Maybe you'd like to explain how Carl's
assistance has access to this type of

file.

I'm an undercover detective for the
Metro Police.

We're investigating Carl on charges of
extortion, laundering, and murder.

Well, that would explain our strange
conversation yesterday and who your

friends are.

Go ahead.

It's quite impressive.

I don't need to read this.

I know what's in it. Really?

Well, that's a first.

I never met a career criminal who wasn't
dying to read up on themselves.

I'm not a career criminal, and that's
all behind me.

Maybe you do need to read it then.

You may have served your time for the
fraud charges, but apparently

investigators in Arizona, Texas, and
Nevada have been looking for you and

Matt for some time now.

What are you getting at exactly?

I want you to dust off one of your
skills.

And which one? I have so many.

Safe cracking.

Who's safe?

Carl's.

Are you nuts?

I need you to get into Carl's thing, but
first I want you to borrow the key to

his office.

Molding buddy, make an impression, then
put the key back. When the time is

right, I need you to crack the code on
the safe. I'll be acting as your

partner.

Carl would probably kill me if he even
caught me trying for that key.

Then don't get caught.

Full immunity is your incentive, Maggie.

We promised to cut you a deal and wipe
your slate clean.

Or you can go down when Carl goes down.

My apologies, Maggie. I got held up for
the last minute meeting.

I need you to do something for me
tonight.

What?

Talk with our friend David again.

Carl, you know how I feel about that.

How's your lovely sister, Maggie?

What do you mean?

When you won't do something I need you
to do, you force me to threaten someone

you love.

And as you know, my threats are very,
very real.

You son of a... Watch what comes out of
that pretty mouth of yours.

You really are.

Now, the DA apparently has another
witness who's rumored to have some vital

information.

It's important that you find out who
that witness is.

Now tonight is David's massage night,
and I've arranged for you to be his new

masseuse He's not gonna be as loose lift
as he was before so you're gonna. Just

have to work it somehow We leave in 15

Hello

my name is Tracy hi Tracy Linda the
death told me you were now yes, I am

Well, I've hoped you've done this before
because I could really use the heavy

-duty rubdown.

Don't worry. I've worked in other places
for years.

You. In the bar.

Oh, hi. David, right? Yeah.

I thought I recognized that boy.

What are you doing here?

I thought you worked in a marketing
firm.

I do. I'm moodlining for some extra
cash.

So whatever happened to that big murder
extortion case you mentioned?

It sounded really interesting.

I can't talk about that one.

Really? Why not?

The DA put a Ziploc on any information
coming out of the office.

We had a little bit of a problem, so
he's kind of paranoid now.

That's too bad. It sounded really
fascinating.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

Are you sure you couldn't just tell me a
little?

I'm really not supposed to.

Oh, David.

I love stories.

Tell me a story, baby.

Oh, my God.

An ex-girlfriend named Gabrielle.

Should have known.

David said he was impressed with the
level of information that she knew.

Although he wouldn't say what.

He did say that the DA is confident in
his case against you.

What else?

That's it.

I couldn't get anything more than that.

All right, good. Good work, Maggie. You
should get some rest, all right?

I have to jump in the shower.

I've got a meeting to go to.

Maggie, what are you doing?

Uh, looking for something in my purse.

What?

Uh, my eye drops. My eyes are so red and
dry.

I've got some.

I'll go get it.

Did you find them yet?

Still looking.

Maggie, what are you doing?

I'm looking for a mirror. I need a
mirror to put drops in.

Thank you.

It's done.

It has to work.

You got lucky.

Listen, I need a favor.

I can't leave right now or Carl will
suspect something.

Can you take this impression over to my
contacts so he can make a key?

Right now?

Yeah, we've got to act on this fast.

Here's his name and address.

Just tell him that I sent you.

Tell him that I can't call him right
now.

Oh, there he is.

You're Maggie?

Yes. Eric?

Yes? Lisa said to give this to you.

Good work.

Janice, hey, it's Maggie. Where are you?

My place? Great. Stay there.

I've got to talk to you. I'll meet you
there in about 20 minutes, okay?

All right, bye.

Everything has suddenly gotten very
complicated and very scary, Janice.

What's happened?

My past has come back to haunt me.

That assistant, Lisa, an undercover cop,
is using his leverage against me to get

me to spy on Carl.

He almost caught me this morning trying
to dupe his office key.

Oh, God.

Last night I realized for the first time
how truly ruthless he is.

I never saw that side before.

Whatever I once felt for him is now
dead.

I don't know how much longer I can
pretend.

You should tell Matt about Carl.

He's not going to take it well.

Probably not, but that's a risk you're
going to have to take.

You're going to need his support on
this, Maggie.

Just trust that he loves you.

How come you're always right, Janice?

That's what sisters are for, right?

Listen, he's going to be back in a
minute. Do you want me to stick around?

No, I'll be okay.

I missed you. I missed you, too.

What's going on?

You seem a little stressed out.

Oh, Matt, so much.

I've got a lot to tell you.

Sit down. You're not going to like all
of it.

I'm just going to be blunt and get to
the point.

I lied to you.

What?

I'm not working at Carl's Casino.

I had a feeling he wasn't going to
accept that offer, so I had a backup

offer. One I was sure you wouldn't turn
down.

Obviously, you didn't.

Ultimately, I didn't have to offer it.

He suggested it.

In fact, it's the only thing he would
accept.

And what would that be?

Me.

Well, thank you for being honest with
me, Meg.

I don't understand, Matt. I thought
you'd be furious.

I am, Matt, but what can I say? I'm the
one who puts you in this position if

you're trying to help.

I know, but I... Listen, we've got a
bigger problem to focus on.

Carl, it's not an easy one to solve
either.

No, but I think we have some help.

Carl's assistant Lisa is an undercover
cop who's gathering evidence for a

murder and extortion case.

They're determined to nail him.

And when they do, he can't touch us.

How do you know that?

I'm helping them gather some of the
evidence.

Oh, my God.

They have a whole file on Captain
Seavers and her partner in crime.

They cut me a deal they would pay off
the debt and wipe my slate clean if I

would just help them. Yeah, I'm kind of
going to wonder where the money came

from.

They'll fix it like we had an
inheritance or something.

This is big.

Yeah, this is a gamble. This is the only
real chance we have.

I think the odds are pretty good.

Just be careful, okay?

I will.

Okay, Judge, I can live with that.

Right, be there in one hour. Where do
you want us to meet him?

Second Crown, southwest corner.

Got it.

I'll pass them your envelope, sealed as
usual.

All right. Good night.

You're going with us?

Yes. I have some unfinished business
with Gabrielle.

I need to find out what information
she's passed on, so she's not to be

eliminated just yet.

Will we be using tranquilizers or real
ammo?

No tranquilizers tonight.

When do you want us downstairs?

Meet me down there in 45 minutes.

We'll drive off to southwest corner of
Fifth and Crown, proceed to the target

location from there. Understood?

Yes.

He's excited about something.

Having a very successful day, thank you.

I finalized a deal to purchase and
develop a prime piece of waterfront

property that no one else in town has
been able to acquire.

I think you're good luck for me, Maggie.

I didn't know you were interested in
real estate development.

Trying to go legitimate.

Real estate's about the only way that I
see to turn a high profit in a short

period of time.

I didn't think you wanted to be
legitimate.

Oh, I'll always keep the cash cows
around, the clubs, casinos, but I'm

finished running numbers and drugs.

Carl, I never wanted to know about your
illegal activities, and I still don't.

Okay, I respect that.

But congratulations on the development.

Thank you, Maggie. I appreciate that.

So, you said you had some news to share.

Yes. It appears my problem with the DA
has been solved as well.

Oh.

I've been able to find a way to stop
Gabrielle's testimony.

I'll be finalizing those details tonight
after dinner.

And I am positive that I will not be
hearing from her in that regard again.

Still like dancing?

Yes. Why?

Well, if my meeting with Gabrielle
doesn't take up the whole night, I

thought I'd celebrate my good fortune by
taking you dancing.

Wear that maroon dress I got you.

Okay.

Actually... I'm feeling so good about
it, I

think I'd like to celebrate right now as
well.

Oh, I...

Oh, hey, better take it off. What?

This is the dupe.

We need to act now while the troops are
away.

Next camp could be days.

If you ruin that dress, Carl will wonder
how.

I don't like this, Lisa, but I'm doing
it.

You don't have to.

Personally, I don't like it either.

You know, it's one of those assignments
with lots of opportunity for error.

I mean, the room could be wired.

It's safe.

They could come back any minute.

Anything.

But putting all that aside, it's
necessary.

Got it?

Got it.

Okay.

Let's do this thing.

Ready.

Maggie, have you ever seen Carl enter
the office from this door?

Two or three times.

Alarmed? No.

Trip wires or a sensor that might be
activated if this was moved.

Well, how can you tell?

Imperfections in the wall where the
equipment was installed.

Sometimes an uneven seam in the carpet
where the sensor was made.

He always was paranoid.

Yeah, he's a very cautious man.

I worked for him for a year and a half,
and he still won't let me in his office

except to...

Take dictation or introduce a guest.

Okay.

You're on.

Shit.

What's up?

Oh, yeah. There's the magic number.

Still got it.

Beautiful.

It's okay.

Watch the door so we can get out of here
quick.

Okay.

You have the information?

Nice to know the department isn't
wasting taxpayers' dollars on expensive

hotels.

Hey, Judge.

Yeah, I just got the package.

Bad news, my boy.

Just got word that your personal
assistant is on my old team.

How is that possible?

She's been undercover for years to get
to you, so she slipped through my radar.

More than that, Maggie is working with
her.

Positive?

Came straight from the DA's office.

How can I help? We're about ten minutes
from your place.

All right, good. Go there.

Lisa's probably left, but Maggie will
still be there. Hold her there.

I'll deal with her myself.

When Lisa's there, kill her.

Oh, my God. Maggie!

Have you ever heard the name Gabrielle?

Yeah. Carlson talking about her. What
did he say?

Uh, that the next girlfriend and the DA
were using her to testify against him.

He said she knows a lot. He said he's
found a way to handle the situation.

What did he say exactly?

Um, that he was going to finalize the
details to deal with the testimony

tonight and that he was positive he
wasn't going to be hearing from her in

that regard again.

You're sure he said tonight?

Yes. That's why he left.

Look, I'll be right back.

Take pictures for me so we can get out
of here.

John, Lisa, listen.

I think Carl is on his way to the
witness location to hit Gabrielle.

Thanks, please. I got a cover.

And John, I'm in the safe.

Excellent. I'll get back to you.

Put the camera down, Maggie.

Move away from the files.

I'd like to kill you right now for
double-crossing Carl, but he wants to

deal with you himself.

Maybe I should anyway.

Tell him you fought.

I slipped.

No guard, that's odd.

Not if they think no one knows
Gabrielle's here.

Probably two cops inside playing cards.

Let's go.

Why don't we wait till Carl gets back?

Shut up, Maggie.

Expecting someone else, Carl?

Keep an eye on her. How? Shut the fuck
up.

Where's Lisa?

I don't know. Let her go, Carl.

Back off.

Can't do that, Carl. Back off or I'll
kill her, I swear.

Where is Lisa?

Right there.

What happened?

It's over, Matt. They got him.

You mean we're free?

Totally free.

That's great, man.

And because I cracked the safe for them,
they wiped my record clean as promised.

Listen, I got another promise for you. I
will never, ever gamble again. For

nothing, not even for death or
everything.

Never.

I don't know, Mr. Madison.

I've got something else in mind.

What's that?

Remember you mentioned the tropical
paradise?

Yes. Me and you on a suitcase full of
books? Mm-hmm.

Max is waiting.

I got a bad click.

Oh, you did.

Amazing.

Where are we going?

It's me, I'll tell you.

See you, baby. Slow down.
