In Plain Sight

Excuse me, do you have a phone?

Do you have a... do you have a cell phone?

Hey, hey.

Come on, do you have a cell...

does anybody have a phone?

Do you have a phone? You have a phone?

- No. - I need a phone!

Does anybody have a phone?

911. What's your emergency?

There's a pipe bomb in Westlake Plaza.

I saw the two guys that put it there.

- Your name, sir. - My name?

I once dated a guy who loved the independence of living on his own...

chugging from the carton in the middle of the night.

He said the isolation was a trade-off he could live with.

I thought I had hit the mother lode.

Then he started talking about going to clown camp.

Disaster was averted by the heroism

of a homeless man who remains unidentified.

As a result, two members of the most notorious

domestic terrorist group on American soil

have been charged with multiple counts

of attempted murder and conspiracy.

You saved hundreds of lives, Walter.

Yeah, well, uh, don't waste your ticker tape on me, huh?

You also put millions of minds at ease.

Okay. So we'll hold the ticker tape.

You'll still be given a place to live and monthly check...

enough to cover necessities, pay for a car.

I don't drive.

And, actually,

I can save you a few bucks on the utilities.

I can get those for free.

Of course, why would anybody in government

ever want to save a couple of bucks.

ATF said you set up a wireless router

down there in the basement of the library.

I did, uh...

they kept encrypting the signal. It was very frustrating.

Out of curiosity, why the library?

Well, I'm always looking to better my mind.

Knowledge is power. That kind of thing.

Yeah, the paperwork has your IQ at 142.

That's a notch above that of the average itinerant.

What's your story?

I read a biography of Paul Erdos when I was 10.

Hooked me.

Erdos was a homeless Hungarian mathematician.

Who never settled down.

Just roamed the world.

Terrific. Dueling marshals.

Helping people with their math problems.

Did a lot of work in set theory.

Hey, look. A dime.

A.U.S.A. is here.

She'd like to talk to you privately, Mary.

Where do you see Kurt Godle in the math hierarchy?

Ugh, Kurt Godle.

Hello?

Abbey Montgomery.

I'm handling Walter's case.

Hi. Aren't you early?

We weren't expecting you till the day after tomorrow.

Officially, yes.

But before I meet with my witness,

I wanted to meet with you.

Make sure we're both on the same page

when it comes to hygienics and deportment.

- Deportment? - I think she means behavior.

Walter tested negative on the drug screen.

Passed the psych eval too.

Well, we need more than that to ensure a conviction.

Meaning...

Meaning, if he presents like a crazy on the stand, we're screwed.

Some very bad guys go back on the street,

and the next time they try to blow something up, it works.

As in kaboom.

Is that English enough for you, inspector?

I don't think I like her deportment.

Mary... next time you see Walter,

you won't even recognize him.

Thank you.

Since 1970,

the federal witness protection program

has relocated thousands of witnesses,

some criminal, some not,

to neighborhoods all across the country.

Every one of those individuals shares a unique attribute,

distinguishing them from the rest

of the general population.

And that is, somebody wants them dead.

Yum.

Just try it.

If I'm gonna ace this massage therapy test...

Classic Brandy opening. Go on.

I gotta learn all this nutrition junk,

like, head to toe.

Turns out mom had it all wrong.

Espresso chased with a Virginia slim...

not a balanced breakfast.

Bourbon's not a food group?

I don't think so.

Door was open.

Brought a dozen glazed.

A dozen? Is late '70s Elvis coming?

You are now officially my favorite of Brandy's boyfriends.

Yes, including the abs guy from Memphis.

- Oh, my God. - Thanks for stopping by.

I know you gotta get to work.

Well, it's nice to be the boss.

Although I prefer to be the boyfriend.

You wanted to talk over some financial stuff?

- That'd be great. - Well...

I will leave you two titans of industry

to your scintillating back and forth about financial stuff.

All right, so... what's going on?

Scott asked for the ten grand back.

That's your money, Brandy.

I know, but I think he's in trouble.

When isn't he?

I realize this isn't what you want to hear,

but there are two things I know a lot about:

Money and addiction.

And Scott's got a problem with both,

so even if you're just trying to help...

I'll just be enabling him.

Exactly... so don't.

Good morning, Teresa.

Don't you look... cheerful.

It's early. I haven't had my bagel.

So ignore my tone when I ask

what on God's green earth is that?

It's a requisition to set up an advance of funds

for one Walter Bleymeyer.

And it's signed by Mary, not me.

But she's not here, and you are.

And you've been working this too, so congratulations.

Guess who's guilty by association.

Cut it by half.

Did you see Walter Bleymeyer?

I'm not so sure that figure's entirely out of line.

Marshall.

10:00.

- Oh, jeez. - Marshall.

Marshall.

Gotta work on this...

This thing is so hard...

- Stan the man! - Good luck.

Ohh. Ah, jeez.

- Who buzzed him up? - I did.

Why, should I not have?

He's a witness, right?

Yeah, he's a witness.

What are we doing?

Improvising.

So I see the problem, and it's a big one.

Something I'm gonna handle right away.

My top, top priority, Teresa.

Ah, okay. If you say so.

Yeah. No, I say so.

Stan. Stan. Uh, I was gonna call,

but I thought it best to talk to you in person.

Ah, Tim, how are you?

- Good to see you. - I'm good, I'm good.

Can I have a minute in... in private?

It's time sensitive.

Ah, gosh, I would love to talk to you, Tim,

but I got this huge issue to deal with.

I mean, it's really... it's massive, so I...

Oh, okay. How 'bout Marshall?

Uh, he's swamped, yeah.

Okay, Mary?

She's out with a witness, yeah.

Stan, I... yeah, I would like...

How 'bout Charlie?

Charlie. Yeah, Charlie would be happy to talk to you.

Come on, let me introduce you.

Charlie? Is he new? I don't remember Charlie.

Oh, yeah, he's a hotshot.

Charlie cotter, I'd like you to meet

everyone's favorite witness.

- Tim Bickman. - Pleasure.

- Welcome to WITSEC. - Thank you.

- Whatever he needs. - You got it.

I've had this beard for a long time.

It's gonna be like cutting off an arm.

A long, straggly, good-for-nothing arm.

Let's go.

So yesterday, I went to cottonwood.

Bought these new walking shoes.

So, naturally, I went for a power walk around the mall.

Mm-hmm, and...

This is where it gets interesting.

Okay.

I kept passing this suspicious character,

sitting on a bench, drinking a smoothie.

Every time I walked by, there he was.

Every time.

Now, after what I've been through personally,

I'm hyper-aware of my environment.
