Wild Cards

Previously on wild cards.

I'm so bored being stuck in this chair all day.

Told you not to jump in the children's ball pit.

You're benched.

Ellis, simmons, you're up.

Yes, sir.

Like old times. Only now I'm driving.

Our deal still stands, right?

Of course.

So what about us?

What about us?

Are we gonna stay partners?

What do you want?

Six more months of my dad's sentence.

Two weeks?

Oh... God.

Ricky!

I'm brace-free and ready for some fun.

What should we do today?

Turtle racing, hot air ballooning, karaoke brunch?

I'm going away for the weekend.

And you are getting this affront to taste out of our apartment.

It's for the office.

Oh, in that case, I welcome you with open arms.

You can't leave.

I've been cooped up in this apartment for too long.

I need a frolic.

I'm sorry, jellybean.

My amateur theater group

Is doing a sacred, silent retreat in a yurt in oregon.

Anyways, I gotta run. I'm already late.

Fine.

Hey, guys, I'm back. You miss me?

How's the foot?

You know, ready for action. What are we working on?

We are all off to the annual

Police and law enforcement conference and expo.

Ooh, is that like an amusement park for detectives?

It's more like a chance for big tech companies

To peddle a bunch of elaborate and expensive gadgets

The department will never buy.

But the swag bags are epic.

Ooh! Oh, yeah.

I gotta have my christmas gifts out of that bag.

Although giving my nephew infrared goggles

Was a bit of a misfire.

Okay, great. So when do we leave?

You can't come with us.

Kind of a badge only thing.

Since when has that stopped me.

Max, they're strict on credentials and punctuality.

We need to roll. Let's go guys.

Honestly, it's not that fun.

I wouldn't even go if it wasn't mandatory.

Oh, no worries.

I'm long overdue for a catch-up with my dad.

He's been begging me to come see him more.

Okay.

Oh, and don't forget your badge.

Say hi to your dad for me, huh?

Honey, you really should have called.

Today's not the best day.

But I brought your favorite custard tarts.

I have the whole day to myself.

Good.

Good, honey, good for you.

Go knock yourself out.

What do you mean?

I remember a time when you pulled the bolivian boondoggle,

The golden goose gambit and the cuckoo's nest,

All within 24 hours.

Don't think I've ever been so been so proud.

So, kiddo, the world's your oyster.

Get out there and get shucking.

I was just hoping that we could spend some time together.

You know, there's nothing I love more.

But...

But I'm about to run a poker game

With the boys over in block c.

Really? You're ditching me for a card game?

It's time sensitive.

Thanks to you, I've only got so many more weeks left in here.

And hedge fund sleazebag is being released tomorrow.

So if I don't take them down tonight,

I miss my shot.

Okay, business before pleasure. I get it.

You sure you're okay?

Yes. I'm fine. Now go enjoy yourself.

Win that yacht.

You read my mind.

Besides, we'll have all the time in the world together soon.

Love you, honey.

Love you.

I'm taking these.

One move and you're dead.

I don't have a wallet, but you can help yourself

To some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I don't want your money.

Then what do you want?

Turn around.

I want to watch your face while I pull the trigger.

Because you light up my life, baby.

Maddy!

I got you, didn't I?

Hi.

Man, this is a nice place.

Whose is it?

It's mine.

Are you settling down?

For the time being.

Man, so the rumors are true.

What rumors?

Five dice darcy told me you were working for the cops.

I called him a dirty liar.

Okay, first of all, darcy is a dirty liar,

But just not about that.

Wait, you went cop?

No, I'm not a cop.

I'm a police consultant, temporarily.

I'm just trying to shave time off my dad's sentence.

So I don't hear from you for six months,

All of a sudden, you're living in the upside down.

I know I should have called.

Yeah, or emailed or smoke signal or something, I don't know.

How's george holding up?

You know, my dad,

He could always make a good thing out of a bad situation.

Mhm. Have you talked to your dad lately?

No, I haven't heard from him

The last couple of years.

I think the last I heard,

He was running some kind of a con in the everglades

With an alligator farm.

And how about you?

Last we spoke, you were working on a con

On the duke of lichtenburg.

Yeah, I had to drop that.

What happened?

I got caught snogging the chauffeur.

Okay, that's not like you to mess up a con for a boy.

Was it serious?

You know what?

I just... This is not why I'm here, okay?

I'm here because we are the grifter sisters,

The con queens, the dynamic duo, together again.

Where is your closet?

Yes.

And... Done.

Ooh! Eyeliner game still a+.

Now, what about your con game?

What do you mean?

Come on, you always have a long con running.

Spill the tea.

The tea is that I'm working time off my dad's sentence.

You sure that's all?

Yes.

I'm gonna get the door.

You're holding out on me, I know it.

Hey!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Look, I know you couldn't come to the tech conference so,

I thought I'd bring the tech conference to you.

A swag bag?

Yeah.

You shouldn't have.

Now I see why you've been holding out on me.

Hi. Are you the boyfriend?

No.

No, definitely not.

Oh, well, it's a pleasure to meet you, detective...

Ellis.

Ellis is my partner, and this is...

Kelsey, kelsey beckford. I'm an old friend from school.

Nice to meet you, kelsey. Where are you traveling from?

Latvia. Just landed this morning.

Huh? Latvia.

It's a long way to travel for a friend.

Oh, not to see your best friend, though.

I've known max forever.

Tragically, I do not know a single thing about you.

Would you care to join us tonight?

Oh, I don't think ellis wants

To join our girls' night, do you?

No.

Thanks for the offer,

But lots of paperwork to do back at the office.

Yeah.

Mhm. Suit yourself.

Um... Don't you think you should finish getting ready?

I was born ready.

I thought you were home-schooled.

Oh, who knew that you paid attention.

Who is she?

Just an old friend.

What are you up to, max?

Nothing.

You know, when you say nothing,

It's usually something, right?

Why are you so suspicious?
