The Catch

Previously on "The Catch"...

Tessa Riley. Is that your real name?

Perhaps you should go directly to the source.

Tell us, Mum.

I mean, if you knew she was mine...

Of course she was yours.

Then why not tell me?

Because I knew you'd want to do the right thing...

Settle down and be a "family."

Tessa wants to join the Firm.

No. She's not gonna turn out like we did.

She already has.

Rhys: Who the bloody hell are you?

Troy: I'm Troy.

What do you mean, you're the hard drive?

When Blackwell needs data copied,

I look at it once, it's in here forever.

Troy: What if I could tell you where your husband is?

What? Special Agent Edgar Diaz.

Wait. Your husband is in the FBI?

How weird was it seeing Ethan again?

Did you tell them that I killed that cop? No.

I loved you.

Ethan. I was gonna marry you.

Nick: Ethan Ward was innocent.

I owe you an apology.

I was wrong.

There was a man in my life before I met you.

Ethan Ward.

Can we talk?

I know I should've called first,

but I-I didn't want to do this over the phone.

Ethan... When we broke up...

I wasn't exactly at my best.

And I did some things that I regret.

Me too. It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I need you to know that I'm better now.

What I would love more than anything is...

could we just start again?

Hey.

Hey. Hi.

I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had company.

Hi. Ethan. Ethan.

We were just talking about you.

Oh.

Ben is my fiancé.

Wow.

Wow. Congratulations.

Thank you. Thanks. Yeah.

Well, don't let me interrupt.

You guys... talk.

No, I'm the one who's interrupting.

I should go.

I'll call you.

Great.

Nice to meet you, Ben. You too.

Unless...

You want to come in for a drink?

Absolutely. Okay.

I could definitely use one.

I see you redecorated.

A... little.

Oh, that's right.

This used to be your house, too.

For a while.

You two live together?

Yeah. No.

I'm here most nights.

And how long have you been...

A year. Two months.

No, we've been together for... Dating for longer.

But engaged for two months.

Got it.

Have you set a date?

June 29th. We haven't dec...

We're still, uh, figuring it out.

What do you do, Ben?

I am... He's in...

Do you need to get that?

Sorry.

Everything okay?

Sorry. I'm gonna have to go.

What's wrong?

Can I help? Maybe.

It okay if I call you tomorrow at the office?

Of course. All right.

Very nice to meet you, Ben.

Likewise.

We should all have dinner sometime.

I'd love that.

Me too.

Me too.

Alice: Just say it. Say what?

Say whatever it is you've been dying to say

since he left.

He seems nice.

Was I not supposed to tell him that he's not a murderer?

I think he probably knows he's not a murderer.

Well, I felt I owed him an apology.

Obviously.

And I did not expect him to come over.

Yeah, well, who doesn't like a surprise?

I know I do.

Especially when the surprise

has the piercing blue eyes of a Siberian husky.

Come on.

Thank you.

What do you think you're doing?

I had a pretty exhausting day.

I found a human hard drive,

I met my fiancée's ex-fiancé,

who apparently is not a murderer...

Oh, is that so?

And I have an early breakfast

with the daughter I never knew I had, so...

You must be so tired.

Oh, I am. I really am.

Well, I guess you won't mind if I call up Ethan.

You're not calling Ethan.

Tessa: How did you two meet?

Your uncle introduced us.

Is that Uncle Rhys?

Mm-hmm. Your Uncle Rhys stranded us

on a stolen yacht while he disappeared

on a three-day opium bender with two prostitutes.

By the time the Italian Coast Guard arrived,

we were practically married.

When do I get to meet Uncle Rhys?

How about never? That can wait.

So, you met, fell in love,

and, for 15 years, you were happy together?

I was. Or thought I was.

Your mother and I wanted different things.

Yes, I wanted to steal from Alice Vaughan.

He wanted to marry her.

So you gave up everything... The Firm,

your whole life together... For a mark?

It's very romantic.

Thank you.

No, I meant in a teenage-girl way.

Which reminds me, we have a birthday party to attend.

What? A Sweet 16 party.

You know other teenagers?

Is that so hard to believe?

Will there be boys at this party?

All girls, I'm afraid.

And their parents will be there.

Relax, Dad.

What is that?

Well, I'm not sending her in there unarmed.

Have you been to a kids' party in L.A.?

Give me that.

May I have a word?

She's not bringing a gun to a child's birthday party.

It's not just any child.

Do you remember Carl and Galinda Mangels?

What about the Mangels? They were busted by the feds.

Now, it turns out that their crew

is less than happy with Carl's successor... Raymond Taggart.

Well, Taggart can't handle Mangels' crew.

If I can fold them into Kensington,

I will finally have the crew that I need

to be taken seriously in this country.

Well, not if you're recruiting teenage girls.

It's Taggart's daughter's birthday.

Tessa's gonna breeze in, plant a few bugs,

and I'll learn everything I need.

By putting our daughter in danger.

At her age, we were doing this... and worse.

Neither of us had a choice. I was surviving, and you...

I was learning the family business, as is she.

It's too dangerous. It's a birthday party.

The answer is no.

Excuse me?

She's not going. I forbid it.

Ready?

I am, but your father forbids it.

Oh. That's so sweet.

No one's ever cared what I do.

Thank you, Daddy.

Coming, Mum?

You try telling a teenage girl what to do.

Hey.

Remember our friend Troy, the human hard drive?

Uh-oh. Did you break him?

Rhys, he's going back to the FBI.

He's not. Justine's keeping him.

I didn't see Troy as her type.

Well, first of all, Troy's everyone's type,

and secondly, she's gonna use him to kill her husband.

What? Exactly.

You need to come home now.

I hate being the sensible one.

I can't. You're gonna have to cover for me.

I'm... taking a personal day.

What? What... What is that?

Is that a thing in this country?

Can I have one of those? No, not today.

Whatever's going on, you can handle it.
