Deception

Previously on "Deception"...

You'll want to see this. This USB contains

footage of the night of Jonathan's accident.

The video on this drive will exonerate him.

Help me and it's yours.

What are you willing to do for your brother?

You helped to steal a diamond worth millions.

Made a lot of mistakes.

But I didn't do that.

My ID card got stolen.

Someone used it to break into the evidence lockup.

Who could've stolen your ID?

There's a saying in magic...

we magicians guard an empty safe.

Which is true.

The only thing inside our safe is, well, magic.

And as everyone knows, that's not real.

Box 3626. Is that correct?

Yes. Now, where is... my key?

How do we guard an empty safe?

First, we tell a story about what's inside...

a great treasure, this fantastic thing that you know...

...isn't there.

The fact that it's all a trick,

that our safe is empty, nobody cares.

- They came for the magic. - What's happening?!

Gasoline!

In the real world, what's in the safe matters.

Some hold treasure, others secrets...

...while a few contain dangers

- just waiting to burn us. - No! No!

You can do this. Tell him the truth.

I got doughnuts.

Hey, Dina.

Come in.

Did you sleep at all?

Maybe.

No, I don't think I did.

What's all this?

Everywhere I've been,

everyone I've been in contact with in the last few days.

OPR investigators are thorough, and I can't leave anything out.

OPR?

Office of Professional Responsibility.

But everybody knows that you didn't steal the Lynx Diamond.

My badge was used.

Yeah.

Yeah, about that, um...

I know you took it.

I just can't figure out why.

I was trying to help Jonathan get the redacted files.

Someone stole it from me.

You did it for Jonathan.

What were in the files?

Were we hiding something?

Nothing.

The Mystery Woman used you and Jonathan,

and now she's got the Lynx Diamond,

and I'll probably get suspended.

- But you didn't do anything. - It doesn't matter.

I'm an FBI agent, and my badge was used

in the commission of a major crime.

It might as well have been my gun...

I-I mean, I'm...

I wouldn't have ever done this if I had known that...

that, um...

It was wrong, okay? It was wrong.

And I'm so sorry, Mike.

The boys are up.

Yeah.

You should go.

Dina took Mike's badge for you, didn't she?

The FBI know?

No.

M.W. had a guard on the inside.

And I played right into her hands... again.

And Dina got hurt 'cause of it.

Again.

Maybe we just got what we deserved.

No. Don't go there.

We don't... You don't deserve this, Johnny,

and I will do whatever it takes to get her.

You know that.

Play another one, Cam. That tune's getting old.

How many times have you told me you'll get me out of here?

All right.

I have a great rendition

of "I promise you'll get your life back."

Which life is that?

I didn't exist, remember?

There's no life out there for me.

Dina was the last of it.

And now she's gone, too.

Well, now who's recycling old material?

It's gonna be different, Johnny.

You just have to trust me.

Trust the FBI. We do this together.

There's nothing we won't do for you.

Let me guess. It's Kay.

You got to go work a case.

It's a bank heist.

You gonna be okay with that?

I'll be fine.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Had to give a statement about Mike to the OPR.

- How'd that go? - Can't tell.

Those guys are hard to read.

Ooh.

You okay?

What is it?

Nothing.

What is it?

When I was a kid,

my dad and I were held up in a bank robbery.

Now, remember, Cameron... every thief in town

knows performers are flush with cash on Monday morning.

Deposit the take, safer you make.

Good.

At least one of my sons is listening to me.

You say it all the time.

Oh, yeah? What else do I say all the time?

"You don't play Vegas. Vegas plays you,"

"First dollar is the only dollar,"

and "Agents are for suckers."

That's right.

I'm good.

- - Everybody on the floor!

Now!

- Did you hear me? - Wait! Wait.

We have $3,112.

And, uh, a dollar and 16 cents in change.

You could go.

Hurting anyone's reckless, stupid.

At least let my boy go.

Dad!

Guess I have some psychological scarring.

I can handle this.

Nah, I'm fine.

Victim was Priscilla Howe, 80 years old.

Fire broke out, she got trapped behind an emergency door.

By the time the fire department got here, she was dead.

Was it a bank rob or a fire?

Both.

Once they put out the fire, they realized one box was missing.

Whose box?

It was registered to a dummy account,

but the Bank Robbery Task Force linked it to a William Archer.

William Archer.

Let me guess... billionaire racecar driver.

International jewel thief and bank robber.

Mm. Even better.

William pulled off elaborate heists

from the '80s to the early aughts.

Went quiet around 2007.

All right, so... the thieves filled the boxes

with accelerant, they start the fire to clear the room,

give themselves more time to work on the Butler-Riley lock.

Which makes sense, because I need at least 30 minutes

to pick one of those, and I'm one of the best.

30 minutes?

Nobody would've survived 10 in here with a fire like that.

Generally, that is true, but nowadays, all you need

is an oxygen supply and some kind of protection,

like a... an asbestos suit or a...

...fire-retardant gel.

We used the gel in our show, and it smelled terrible.

Ah. Yeah.

Pretty much exactly... like that.

That was the victim's?

She got trapped in here on purpose

in order to steal the box.

Hey, this is Daniels.

Get me a location on the coroner's team

and the victim's body.

She may not be dead.

This was her, Kay.

We're clear.

Ditch the van. Cameron was there.

Find what you were looking for?

Not yet.

NYPD found the real coroners unconscious

about a mile away from the bank.

Their attackers match your description

- of Tallis and Dekker. - Yeah.
