The Catch

- Previously on "The Catch"... - Tommy.

He really is my brother. You okay?

Actually, I could use your help.

The overseas account was opened in Tommy's name

by his former employers.

I used to walk their dogs.

Alice: Hello? Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid?

Benjamin Jones, Agent Justine Diaz.

What would you say if I told you

I could get you out of here tomorrow?

Setting up cons, pulling jobs, but looping me in

so that I can collect evidence, make arrests.

- He accepted the deal? - Without consulting me?

It's only 18 months.

Margot just became the head

of one of the most powerful crime families in the world.

She's got bigger problems than you right now.

Our assets are under attack. Our people are disappearing.

Whatever this turns out to be, you'll handle it.

Margot: Good morning, ladies.

I find myself suddenly in need

of a private investigation and security firm.

I have a business proposition for you.

Oh, for God's sake, put the guns away, ladies.

I am unarmed.

No, scratch that... I am armed.

But only because someone is trying to kill me.

- Really, just one person? - And it's not me or Alice?

A sniper just shot my left lieutenant Jamison

in the head right in front of me.

I want you to find out who.

You want to hire us?

You are still a private investigation

and security firm, are you not?

No thanks to you.

I am aware of the irony of this situation.

I tried to put you out of business,

and now I am asking you

to find out who's trying to kill me.

And why would we ever do that?

Because you need clients and cash.

Which I can supply...

Half a million dollars... Real, not counterfeit.

You can check.

And there'll be another just like it

when you've caught whoever's doing this.

So, shall we discuss?

We are not working for Margot Bishop, are we?

We can't. I don't know.

With this much money we could rehire the entire staff,

get the security team back...

It's a con. She's playing us.

She has no reason to play us.

She's already won.

So, this what we're doing now? We're working for criminals?

Alice: I don't know about you guys,

but I won't feel safe unless I know where Margot is

and what she's doing every second of the day and night,

which is what she's paying us to do.

Will you tell her about Ben?

That he's out of jail and working for the FBI?

You gonna tell him about Margot?

If I do, he'll tell me not to take the case,

he'll threaten Margot, she'll try to kill him.

So you're not gonna tell him?

Val and Sophie and I can handle Margot.

You can stay focused on Tommy.

You don't have to get involved.

I'm already involved,

and I'm not taking my eyes off that woman.

That's the whole point of this.

But thank you.

Where are we on Tommy's case?

What do we know about the Kincaids?

Only that they're not the Kincaids.

Jimmy and Cathy Kincaid are aliases

that only go back eight months.

Any leads on who they really are?

We're running their faces through the QR-20,

but no matches so far.

Maybe Tommy can help.

I tried him. He's not picking up.

He better pick up.

Vaughan residence, Tommy speaking.

- Did I wake you? - No,

but that's only because your boyfriend already did.

Fiancé, thank you very much.

Seriously, who grinds coffee beans before 7:00 A.M.?

So, Ben is there with you?

Yep. He's looking very fit.

You want to say hi?

I would, actually.

You leave for work way too early.

What are you still doing there?

You're undercover. We're supposed to be discreet.

We will be the minute I get my first assignment.

Listen, I-I have to tell you something.

I have a new client.

Uh, there's a lot you have to tell me.

According to Tommy,

you were quite the little cheerleader in high school.

Head cheerleader...

At least she was before she got herself suspended.

Can you put my brother back on the phone, please?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What did you get suspended for?

Oh, just put him on the phone.

I'll tell you later.

Thank you.

Tommy, no, you won't.

I need you in the office. We have questions for you.

Well, is this about the Kincaids?

Do not mention the Kincaids or the money to anyone, even Ben.

- But... - Do you understand?

Are you this bossy with all your clients?

- She is, actually. - I heard that.

Put Ben back on the phone.

Good luck.

What is he not supposed to tell me?

I don't want him talking about his case,

and I don't want you talking about your new job

or any of your old jobs.

Well, then, I guess we're gonna have

to go back to talking about you.

I'm coming over there.

No, I'm late for work. Got to go. Bye.

The suspect's name is Kenji Yoshida.

He is the chef at the restaurant Vinzu.

Vinzu. Ooh. Impossible to get a table at Vinzu.

I've been there several times.

And why don't we like Kenji?

Our informant tells us that Mr. Yoshida

is his source for high-end contraband.

- Meaning? - It could be anything...

Fine cigars, pharmaceuticals... - Mmm.

Shall I make us a reservation?

This mission is recon only.

You'll be going in after hours to place cameras.

So, when the footage just happens to land on your desk...

the judge will give me my warrant.

So, we go in as...

property managers.

Public health inspectors.

A film crew scouting for locations.

You'll be going in as...

exterminators.

- You had me there for a second! - I like her. She's funny!

Oh, the Bureau will provide you with uniforms,

spray cans, whatever else you may need.

Uh, you guys don't have to do that.

No, no... W-we'll do it all ourselves.

We'll come up with our own cover.

Yeah, we have our own equipment.

You'll pay for it, obviously, but...

Oh, I get it. You guys are pros.

Independent contractors.

Artisans, really.

The best con men in the business.

Which is why I can't trust you.

I mean, would you trust you if you were in my position?

Which is why we're doing things my way.

Or go back to prison. It's your choice.

Wait, the Kincaids are not the Kincaids?

We need you to think back.

Did they ever call each other by different names,

or have pet names for each other?

- I don't know. - Or did they ever have visitors?

Did you meet any of their friends?

I don't think so.

When was the last time you saw them?

Oh, okay... That was on a... year.

I, uh... I don't know.

Two people are dead, Tommy. You could be next.

Yeah, I get that.

Okay, then think. Give me something.

When was the last time you saw them?

Oh, um, what happened to their dogs?

- - The police have the dogs.

Good, because, you know, they're both chipped.

We didn't even think of that.

The chips'll lead us to whoever registered the dogs.

And that might give you the Kincaids' real names.

Yes. Thank you. I got it.

From the trajectory of the bullet,

it looks like the shooter was positioned on the roof

of the Wilshire Building.

Allie, take a look. There's no apparent markings.

It's not like any bullet I've ever seen.

You've seen a lot of bullets, have you?

She spent seven years with the L.A.P.D.

Really? Why'd you leave?

- It looks custom. - I'll get it to the lab.

I don't think they'll find anything.

The shooter was a pro.

Then how did he miss? Unless Jamison was the target.

Jamison and I switched positions rather suddenly...

Bless him.

We'll need a list of suspects,

an enemies list,

present company excluded, of course.
