I can't believe somebody

That guy's a real monster.

Really? A monster?
Sam, he stole a puppet.

Not just any puppet.

It's Mr. Smartums.

Beloved icon of children's television.

Yeah, well, which is why
our client paid us

so much money to get him back.

And Mr. Smartums is very grateful.

[AS MR. SMARTUMS]
Yes, I'm very grateful, Eddie.

Thank you for rescuing me
from that very bad man.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna give Eddie hug?

No, stop. No, stop. Come on.

Wait. Why are you angry?

'Cause that is not a toy, okay.

And, for the record,
puppets... they're creepy.

[NORMAL VOICE] Seriously?
You don't like puppets?

No. I don't like puppets.

- Why don't you like me?!
- Okay.

- Why don't you like me, Eddie?!
- Put it away.

I knew I smelled cheap whiskey in here.

[NORMAL VOICE] You two know each other?

Oh, come on. I know you missed me.

Yeah, about as much as a toothache.

I thought I heard you left town.

Nah, I've just been lying low.

I got a place up in the mountains

near where we took down that kidnapper.

Oh, you must be that actress

- Cute puppet.
- Who are you?

I'm Piper Mannox.
Bounty hunter extraordinaire.

You're a bounty hunter?

What, you two used to work together?

Not really.
We were just on the same side.

What Eddie means is that he was
chasing bad guys for clients

while I tracked them down for
a much more lucrative payday.

You wouldn't be here unless you
wanted something. So spill it.

Well, I owe you for

An inmate escaped
from a prison transport van.

Ryan Conrad. Nearly killed a
guard with his bare hands.

dollar reward on his head.

Half a million?

Okay, this is gonna sound kinda crazy,

bounty hunter I've ever met.

I love the Janet Evanovich books.

Stephanie Plum is one

Yeah, listen, Eddie,

with my experience hunting fugitives

and your cop connections,

we really have a decent shot

- She makes it hard to say...
- No.

Not even for a quarter million dollars?

Come on. Has business gotten that good

since you teamed up with Remington Steele

- that you don't need the money?
- I don't need the trouble.

Wait, wait, wait, Eddie.
It's a quarter million dollars.

- That's a lot of money.
- Not enough to cover

the trail of destruction she leaves.

- My methods work.
- Oh, really?

Then what do you need me for?

Besides, everybody in this city

is gonna be looking for this guy.

Yeah, but I'm the only one with a lead.

This guy almost killed a guard. A cop.

Okay, I can play without 'em.

What's the lead?

I got a tip.

Conrad spent last night
at his foster mom's house.

Except he moved around a lot
when he was a kid,

which foster mom it is.

Honestly, her plan sounds more exciting.

You did what?

Well, somebody had to
get the party started.

W-What if Conrad had been in there?

Then we'd be $500,000 richer.

Spoiler alert, we're not.

But he was there.

I found his bloody prison
jumper, a pizza box,

two paper plates, and these.

Beer bottles?

Conrad stayed the night.

Paper plates indicate he wasn't alone.

If he had a buddy over,
then that guy's fingerprints

are all over one of these.

Yeah, and whoever he was hanging out with

- might know where he is right now.
- Not bad.

For all we know, Janice
could've been drinking

with one of her friends last night.

Yeah, checked the fridge.
Biddy drinks a different brand.

Look, V., just 'cause you hate my
methods doesn't mean I'm wrong.

She's got you there.

I'll get my guys to run
the prints on the bottles,

see if anything pops.

Meanwhile, let's see what your
boy found out about Conrad.

Ryan Conrad has been in and out
of prison since high school.

Violent assaults, domestic abuse.

He's even been suspected
of a couple murders,

but the cops could never
pin anything on him.

- So, what's he in for this time?
- Aggravated assault.

He accused a guy of stealing his beer,

and then cracked open
his skull with a tire iron.

He still had five months
left on his sentence.

Five months? So why break out now?

He was being transferred from
state prison to L.A. County

because of overcrowding.

Must've seen an opportunity
to escape and took it.

Reactive personality,
sociopathic tendencies...

Conrad's like a volcano,
ready to explode at any minute.

I don't buy it. He didn't just escape.

He almost killed that guard to do it.

He traded 5 months for 25 to life?

If he's willing to take
that risk, it's for a reason.

Figure that out,
you'll know where he's going.

- [CELLPHONE BUZZES]
- If that's the case,

he'll likely reach out
to known associates for help.

Only the people he trusts the most.

Like an old cellmate?

I just got a match on the prints.

They belong to Jimmy Tobin,

the most notorious gunrunner in L.A.

Well, if his prints were on the bottle,

then he must've been
with Conrad last night.

Must know where Conrad's hiding.

Yeah, or what his next move is.

Where can we find this Tobin?

There's no last-known address
for him in the system.

I can put the word out on the street,

make some inquiries with friends.

We'll do the same.

In the meantime,
I'll tap my source at the LAPD.

We'll get a copy
of Conrad's prison call logs.

If we can see who he was talking
to, maybe we can get a clue

as to what he's planning.

Oh, wow. You're still
tappin' that source?

Say "hi" for me.

- Piper Mannox?
- Chris...

The same Piper Mannox who stole my badge

and used my identity to get information

on a bail jumper she was tracking.

- Chris...
- You're working with her?

- She has a lead.
- She has a problem.

She doesn't just break rules,

she douses them in gasoline
and sets them on fire.

Look, I don't trust her
any more than you do.

But if it means getting
Ryan Conrad back behind bars,

it's worth it.

Oh, you want to know my backstory.

Um, like,

somebody I cared about
was killed by a bad guy,

and so now I do this
in a desperate attempt

to assuage my guilt?

No.

Sorry. We got tied up.

But you have Conrad?

Didn't Piper bring him in?

No. Piper has Conrad?

Yeah. She left over an hour ago.

Eddie, what the hell is going on?

I don't know. Let me call you back.

Why didn't Piper turn Conrad in?

Maybe she's working another angle?

Or Conrad overpowered her.
Piper could be in danger.

I tried tracking Piper's phone.
Couldn't get a signal on it.

It's like someone turned it off.

All right, pull all her
financial records.

I want traces
on her credit cards, her ATMs.

On it. Uh, but, Eddie,
there's something else.

Something about Conrad's
transfer was still bugging me.

So, Berto and I dug a little deeper.

Turns out, the transfer was requested

by a group called "Lawmen for Justice."

"Lawmen for Justice"?
Yeah, I know that group.

That's Judge Chambers's
political-action committee.

Judge Chambers as in Deacon,
the mob boss we put away?

Yeah. Check this out.

The warden that they petitioned,
he's connected to Deacon.

He served as Chambers' campaign chairman.

Well, why would Deacon set up
Conrad to get transferred?

Whatever's going on,
we only know half the story.

Eddie Valetik.

It's nice to see you again.

And to what do I owe the pleasure?

I thought we'd have a little chat

about Ryan Conrad.

Dangerous man.

I hear he escaped a prison transport van

and is currently running rampant
through the city.

Because you wanted him transferred here.

Why?

You overestimate my influence.

Where is he?

Was him escaping part of the plan?

Mr. Valetik, you and I
are on the same side here.

Ryan Conrad is a menace
and a danger to society.

As a judge, I'd love nothing more

than to see him back in jail
where he belongs.

Then tell me where he is.
I'll make that happen for you.

How could I possibly know?

Okay.

You want to play your games, that's fine.

Conrad has her.
