The Catch

Previously on "The Catch"...

Before I met you, there was a man in my life. Ethan Ward.

What I would love more than anything is...

could we just start again?

Ben is my fiancé.

Alice: Are you seeing anyone?

Her name's Gretchen.

Rhys: Who the bloody hell are you?

I'm Troy. I am the hard drive.

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.

According to the file I saw at the Bureau,

Justine's husband was on assignment

to infiltrate some arms dealers, code-named Argosy.

Justine: Turn around.

Justine.

You think I've never been betrayed?

Her name was Felicity.

And who knows?

Maybe it's not too late for you and Felicity.

No, I-it is.

I wasn't quite as forgiving as you.

Felicity.

I've come to cause a bit of trouble.

[ The Broods' "Conscious" plays ]

Up so early?

I thought we might enjoy a lazy morning.

I'd like to, but I have business to attend do.

Of course you have.

Haven't you?

As a matter of fact,

what is your business these days?

I couldn't help but notice that you're not on the rolls

for our India operations anymore.

Did my brother's plum assignment go sideways?

You could say that.

Nothing to do with that scar, I hope.

It looks like a close call.

It was.

Tell me.

One of the men who had been in charge

apparently felt threatened by my sudden advancement.

So he shot you? Who was it?

You have bigger things to worry about

than employee relations.

I heard what happened...

Your brother vanishing, your mother in prison.

But then I heard you were in charge,

so I thought I'd come back to the Firm and, uh...

offer my services.

And how do I know I can trust you?

You don't.

I'll have to earn it...

somehow.

Mum, I'm starving. What time is...

Oh, God. Don't tell me you've picked now

to have a lesbian phase.

Felicity, this is my daughter, Tessa.

Val: They're here.

Good?

You're good.

Is she pretty?

He definitely has a type.

What does that mean?

Hey, guys.

Allie, I'd like you to meet my fiancée.

This is Gretchen.

Hi. Hi.

Sorry. I'm a little nervous. I've heard so much about you.

And I you.

I feel like I know you already.

So, how did you two meet?

At a fundraiser.

For a charity that Gretchen works with.

We provide meals and jobs for L.A.'s homeless community.

I'm actually hoping to hire people from the program

once we get up and running.

Gretchen is about to launch a new fashion start-up.

Fashion? Really?

You should see her designs. They're incredible.

Ugh.

What kind of clothing?

You know, elevated but wearable.

That sounds fun.

It is.

It's a-a fun, nonprofit, social-impact brand

that empowers artisans from Peru and Uganda.

And I just got an angel investor

who wants to give me the next round of funding.

Problem is, he's an old classmate of hers from Princeton.

Oh, from Princeton?

Yes, his name is Charles Bergman.

So, I need to be discreet while vetting him.

Which is why I suggested AVI.

Is that the kind of thing that you do?

All the time.

Well, I don't want to impose,

but, you know, Ethan thinks the world of you.

So, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind

looking into Charles for me.

Of course.

Morning, Ben.

What the hell is he still doing here?

Uh, Benji, he has a name.

It's Troy.

And he's our guest.

He's a human hard drive

with a head full of government secrets.

The longer he's here, the more danger we're in.

Agent Diaz, could you please tell him?

He can't leave now. We need him.

Yeah, Troy is instrumental in Justine's plan

to lose her badge for the man

that tried to divorce her via e-mail.

My husband, Eddie,

is the FBI's last undercover agent inside Argosy.

McLeland's group? The gunrunners?

Troy: Special Agent Edgar Diaz

was part of a failed operation to capture McLeland.

When the FBI pulled their agents out,

Eddie stayed in.

Now it's just a matter of time

before they find out who he really is,

and I'd like to get him out before they kill him. How?

Well, she's gonna have me create a new identity for him,

and then we're gonna put him on a plane and disappear him.

So, why do you need Troy?

Because after we extract Eddie,

we're going to use the government secrets

inside Troy's brain to do what the FBI couldn't do.

We're gonna take down McLeland and Argosy.

- What? - What?

Rhys: You know, just for once,

I'd like to get the headlines up front.

Shouldn't you be leaving?

A good piece of tail doesn't overstay her welcome.

Tessa. I'll leave you two alone.

Stay where you are, darling. Finish your breakfast.

So, she's not a piece of tail.

Am I about to have another stepmummy?

Tessa, run along.

Felicity and I need to discuss a job

that she's going to be helping me with.

Really?

Can't I help with the job?

You're not old enough, I'm afraid.

Then why not Dad?

You two should work together more often.

Because as you well know,

your father no longer works for the Firm.

And she does?

Yes.

Provisionally.

So, if you don't mind...

Fine.

So, what's the job?

It's a trade deal I've been eyeing.

I've recently acquired a good bit of manpower

here in Los Angeles.

I have product coming into the port,

but no clientele to sell it to.

But you've found somebody who does.

Matthew Keegan.

He runs 12 clubs and restaurants in the city.

And he likes to supply his clients

with all the pills and powders they need.

Then he must already have a supplier.

He did, but I got exclusive word

that he was looking for someone new.

No one else knows about it yet.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Well, it's never wise to show up for these things

without a gift of some kind.

Keegan collects rare Scotch.

There's a bottle of it here in town.

Legend has it that a soldier from the AEF Siberia

brought it back in 1920

from the first whiskey distillery in Japan.

It's worth over $1 million.

That's quite an investment.

Alas, it's only available by the $100,000 shot,

so it's currently sitting, unopened,

behind the bar of an illegal gambling establishment.

You and I are going to steal it.

So, it's just the two of us?

Margot: Morning, ladies.

I have some business to attend to,

so I'm gonna leave Tessa here with you.

What? What? You can't just leave her here.

Do I not pay you both an obscene amount of money to be my security firm?

Yes, but... So, secure her.

Our services do not include childcare.

They do if you're the stepmummy.

Hello, Stepmummy.

I have some security issues of my own,

so I'm gonna need Danny and, um... Sophie.
