The Catch

Beautiful painting.

Is this her only piece in the collection?

Maria Kreyn?

I saw her solo show in Oslo.

There is another piece,

but it arrived too late for the opening.

A recent work?

On loan from a private collection.

I think it's my favorite of hers.

Now you're just torturing me.

Would you like to see it?

She seems so sad to me.

She's in love.

Why is that sad?

Because it never lasts.

He doesn't seem to have any doubts.

He's not showing you his eyes.

But just because it doesn't last

doesn't mean it isn't love.

We should get back.

May I get you a drink?

I'm supposed to be working.

What about after work?

Come find me.

Evening, sir. May I check your coat?

You're a cop?

Private investigator.

Then you can't arrest me.

No. I like to let them do that.

For me...

This is the fun part.

Anderson/Vaughan Investigations.

How may I direct your call?

- Morning, Robin. She in yet? - Conference room.

I need you to know I tried to stop her.

I told her we don't have time for this, but, A, she doesn't listen,

and, B, she especially doesn't listen to me.

Oh, dear God. Did she see me?

Just keep walking.

You're here.

More cake. So much cake.

You're getting married. I had no idea.

Why didn't you say anything?

At this point in my life, I think marriage is best done quietly,

with dignity and with less cake.

Yo!

I have to call the museum.

I just got off the phone with them.

- You asked me to do this. - I know, but...

You asked me to be your best woman...

Maid of honor, but okay.

...even though I no longer believe in the institution of marriage,

but this is the kind of friend and partner I am.

And I appreciate that.

Then you need to get in here and pick out a wedding cake,

or I'm gonna pick one out for you, and it'll be carrot.

What did the museum say?

No damage to the painting.

Our Intel was right. The guy was a pro.

How'd our new recruit do?

- She did great. - She did okay.

She conducted a museum tour in three different languages.

She was showing off, calling attention to herself.

She could have blown the whole sting.

She is open to constructive criticism and is sitting right here.

No offense, okay, but the last thing we need around here is a lawyer.

None taken, but that attitude's gonna land you in jail.

That and the fact that you have a history

of tampering with evidence before the police arrive on the scene.

You told her? That happened one time.

- That other time doesn't count. - What other time?

The point is, we are private investigators.

Clients only come to us when the cops and the feds can't help them.

So, if we start having to run everything we do by the law here...

I'm not here to be the law.

I'm here to help you when you break it,

which you seem to fairly regularly.

What's wrong?

He sent another one.

What does this one say?

Same as the others. "Are you ready to play?"

What does that mean?

In the last nine months, this guy, this Mr. X,

has stolen $5 million from two of our biggest clients.

We don't know who he is. We don't know what he looks like.

But he knows us because before both jobs

he sent us the same e-mail, "Are you ready to play?"

He finds a malcontent in our clients' firm

to copy confidential files to a hard drive.

And then he trades the drive for a briefcase full of cash.

But why is he targeting you?

Because we have the best client list in town.

And we intend to keep it that way.

So, we've been monitoring our clients' employees,

and right now we think

Mr. X is working with an account manager named Patrick Lewis.

Eleven years at the company,

eleven years of being taken for granted,

eleven years of no surprises.

Patrick Lewis. Every day, 1:10 p.m., like clockwork,

Philly cheesesteak and fries from the sub shop

at Sunset Century Plaza.

Tell security to cover every entrance, every inch of the plaza.

Mr. X won't be able to get in or out without our knowing about it.

What is that noise?

That is the sound of the world's most expensive car alarm.

The Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster, over $500,000.

Who buys a car like that?

I'm guessing he didn't buy it. It's a distraction. He's here.

Do we have eyes on Patrick?

Eyes on Patrick.

Hey, pup. Hey, pup.

- Hey, pup. There you go, boy. -

Guys, I just lost Patrick.

- You what? - He what?

- I'll find him. - Alice...

I'm on it.

Should I...

- -

I'm sending Shawn to cover you.

There's no need. We're fine.

You go that way.

Eyes on Patrick, north exit.

Danny, he has the briefcase. We missed the drop.

Argh! Damn it!

He's here. I know he's still here.

I've got Patrick. Find Mr. X.

He's gone. We lost him.

- Hey! You home? -

You would not believe this day.

We had him surrounded, security all over the plaza.

But somehow he is always one step ahead of us.

I'm sorry, babe.

I'm sure you're closer than you think.

Where are you? Are you here?

I'm pulling in right next to your car.

Just be careful when you open your door.

You know, just for that, I'm keying it.

So, guess what?

The museum called me this morning.

To thank you for saving their painting?

And to offer to host our wedding.

Ah. I'm gonna have to call you back.

Morning, Rita. Morning, Holly.

- Morning, Alice. - Morning, Alice.

How is $1.4 million
