In Plain Sight

Naomi! Naomi, stop!

Any idiot with a half a brain can shoot a gun.

It's an idiot's weapon of choice.

Bringing a fire to a bomb, now that takes patience and precision.

Car ignitions are good igniters, light switches, even just a door opening.

Did the defendant, Louis Difazzio,

hired you to execute Joseph Buffolini?

- Yes. - And you did it?

- Yes. - How?

Explosion.

Describe your relation with Mr. Defazzio.

He's my uncle and the boss of the family.

How many people have you killed for your uncle?

Mr. Buffolini made a...

26.

And after you killed Buffolini, what happened then?

My uncle asked me to kill Mr. Buffolini's wife and kids.

He said they knew too much.

But, um...

I couldn't do that.

And when you refused your uncle's orders, what happened then?

There was a fight. Me and him.

That was it.

I was out.

Thank you, Mr. Defazzio, I have no further questions.

Your witness.

I like the sound of 3-word phrases.

Pools rush in, greed is good.

Character is destiny.

That one comes up a lot when a witness stares down a barrel of a whole new life.

Documents, jewelery, snapshots, we take it all.

And as much as I preach to him about a chance to start fresh,

I keep a stash of letters from a father who left and never came back.

Witnesses can't hang on to a stash of anything.

They're lucky we let them keep their secrets.

These are amazing. I've never seen such good forgeries.

Your cousin's got serious talent.

Dom's cousin Leonard is the family counterfeiter.

Money, passports, even lottery tickets with winning numbers.

- Fascinating, can we move it along? - Where is he now, your cousin?

Don't know. He took off 6 months before I did.

Disappeared. For all I know, my uncle had him uh...

You know.

It's weird. I only ever had my family.

My uncles, my aunts, cousins, every day, every meal.

Big and loud.

Now I wake up, it's pretty quiet.

Pretty quiet for all the people you killed too.

I'm here to start over. Fresh.

You know, well, lucky for you, you had a lot to trade.

So instead of doing life times 26, here we are,

- and all of your dreams come true. - I know what you think of me.

Mhm.

I'm gonna be different.

- There's nothing about who I was that I ever wanna be again. - Aha.

So, Dom, let's talk jobs.

Beside making incendiary devices, what sort of skills might you have in the workplace?

I always wanted to work with fish.

Fish, good.

So, today is the day.

Yup.

You're okay?

Sure, it's just a couple of boxes of stuff.

Or couple years of your life in a couple boxes with stuff.

About to move out of your life forever,

look, we broke up, it was weeks ago. I'm fine.

- You're fine? - Fine.

- What time do the boxes leave the house? - 11:45.

- You gonna be there? - You don't need to do this and

no, I don't need backup, yes, I appreciate the telepathic offer.

Here we are.

- Not bad. How long has he been open? - Couple of weeks.

- He sure was a model witness for the past 3 months. - Yeah.

Nice quiet cooperative contract killer.

I almost admire your resistance to the idea that people grow.

I think people grow. Worse.

Huh,

Mary. Marshal, what do you think?

It's nice.

Look, we're just here to check your lease and loan documents,

we have to make sure there's no security issues that might cause a breach, okay?

- Okay. - An albino cat fish.

You know the albinism trait makes them easier targets for predators

so they're rarely found outside of captivity.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

- You like fish? - He likes everything.

Fish are the only pets I can have.

I'm allergic to anything that defecates in the open air.

Oh.

People always think fish swim in schools.

But there are species that, uh, prefer to be alone,

that have to be alone...

Like Betta.

You put a Betta with another Betta,

you get a fight to the death.

Really? They're kind of pretty.

- And vicious. - Sound familiar?

Thanks.

So, well, look, I'm glad you're here.

I need your advice about something.

I'm totally not sure how to handle this.

What?

I'm in love.

I mean, I'm really in love for the first time in my life, and uh...

I don't know what to do.

Naomi, hi.

Hi.

Hi.

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.

So, um, how do you guys know Dom?

Diving. We're all in a local dive club.

We go on these junkets.

I think it was the Cozumel trip, right?

The Palancar Reef is one of the aquatic natural wonders

of the world, right Dom?

So how do you two know each other?

Uh, can I talk to you a sec?

Sure.

I don't know what to do.

- What do you mean? - I mean, when I'm with her.

I don't know what to say. I can't be myself.

I don't even know who that is anymore.

Okay, look, look, Dom, take it easy.

I love her.

How long have you been going out?

We're not. We've never been out.

I mean, I don't even know how to do that.

- Do what? - Ask her out.

Well, I don't know. How'd you do it before with other girls?

You've been out...

with girls, right?

Not... not exactly.

Hold on. Hold on. You've never...

- I can't talk about this. - No, no, I'm not trying

to embarrass you. I just... I...

I mean, I've always just paid before,

- you know, for... - Yeah, yeah.

No, got it. Wow.

My uncle always told me, who'd want me unless I paid?

And he always had those kind of girls around.

I mean, ever since I was 12, I just paid, you know?

That's what I did.

But now...

This is stupid. I can't do this.

No, Dom, Dom, it's gonna be fine, okay?

Every time I see her,

I want to tell her how I'm feeling, that I love her,

- that I want to marry her. - Yeah, yeah, Dom.

But maybe not before the first date.

Okay, just settle down. Just talk to her.

And somewhere in there say, "hey, you wanna grab dinner?"

And what if she says no?

- Well, that's a possibility. - I don't like that.

I don't like when people say no to me.

- It makes me very, very... - Yeah, yeah, upset.

I know.

I'm sure you had your own way of handling that before,

and it'd make a really great Scorsese movie.

But, Dom, from now on, you don't pay for sex,

and you don't kill people who say no to dinner.

Got it?

I got it.

Go.

I own the stationery store down the street.

I come in a lot, never buy anything.

But they are so beautiful.

You, uh... you can have anything you want, uh, no charge.

Dom, that's so sweet,

but I... I couldn't.

Please?

It'd, uh... it'd mean a lot to me.

Okay.

Can I show you something special?

Sure.

This is fully weird.

I believe we're seeing change and growth before our very eyes.

He's almost smiling.

I think it's the first time I've seen his teeth.

Oh, crap, I gotta meet Raph.

Hey, Dom.

Listen, I'm running late. I gotta go. Everything good?

Uh, well, um...

Great. See you.

How's Brandi?

I don't know. I haven't heard from her.

Really?

You worried?

I'm getting there.

You know, when she goes off the grid, it's usually very ungood.

- Well, if I can help... - How?

- Right. - Thanks.

I mean, if I need to call you in on this, I will.

You always were really good with her.

I guess this is everything, so...

Sure didn't see you play enough.
