Wild Cards

Who are you? Where's maria?

- Maria's appendix burst last night

She asked me to fill in.

- It's always something with her.

Ma dai.

I don't have change.

You can send five dollars with maria

When she's back tomorrow.

And tell her, I expect her back tomorrow.

Mi raccomando.

- Excuse me, where's the bleach?

Seriously?

Maria should have told you all this.

All you had to do was look. I'm getting my hair done.

I'll be home by five. Be gone by then. Va bene.

- Have a nice day! Thank you, mrs. Pallione.

All you had to do... All you had to do...

All you had to do was look.

I don't have change... I don't have change...

I don't have change.

They never hide the key.

I need help with my box.

- Sorry, what? - My safe deposit box.

Here, take all the things you need or whatever.

I've had a terrible day.

My pussycat, benigni, he died.

Oh my god, you poor woman.

- Grazie. Now please, make it fast, fast, fast.

I need to lie down.

Absolutely, mrs. Pallione.

I'll handle it myself.

Let me know if there is anything else you need,

And once again, my deepest condolences on your loss.

That's her!

What's happening?

We'll get back there, someday.

Just not today.

Captain nemo, something wrong?

- Yes, she can't ride on the bow.

The what?

- The bow. The front of the boat.

Why not?

- It's illegal. While the boat's moving,

Everybody's gotta in their proper seats.

Are you giving me a ticket?

Yeah, that's what happens when you break the law.

What about him?

He's a cat.

Come in maritime unit.

It's maritime unit here.

Robbery in progress. Aldicott bank on 4th

And balsam. Backup needed.

Oh, you need me?

Yes, you!

Alright, I'm on my way.

It's your lucky day.

Hold on, marc.

Hey, where are they?

- ...So, I asked her, what the hell she was doing,

And she said, don't look at me, that's not my ocelot!

Hey, what's the situation?

Hi. Are you my ride?

- You guys call for backup, what's going on?

Take it easy, skipper.

You just gotta bring her in and book her.

- Why can't you do it? - Let's not fight over me, guys.

- We have an important assignment.

- They have a baseball game against fire station 18.

Big game. I got 50 on these guys.

We won't let you down, max.

I know you won't, jim.

- Where are you going? - I'm not a damn taxi service.

- Direct order from the chief because everyone else

In the area's on a real case.

Or was the demotion to water cop not enough for you?

'cause I heard there's an opening in animal services.

Oh, a cat! Hey girl.

- Damn it, he must have slipped through the grate.

Is this your cat?

Yes.

- Damn, I'm having a cat day. Oh and she likes me.

What's her name? Why do you have a cat in your car?

Is she magic like sabrina's cat?

I have so many questions I'm vibrating.

- His name is marc. End of conversation.

I see you, marc.

Heads up everyone.

As you all know, a valuable painting was stolen

Out of the lobby of the law firm of lee and tordano.

- Oh hey, master and commander, that's not your desk anymore.

- How about a little decorum, some professionalism please.

Leave crimson tide alone.

Enough. Enough, eyes here.

Theft happened between two and four a.M. This morning.

This was not a smash and grab.

Whoever stole this painting knew exactly what they were doing.

Security system was disabled remotely.

So, we do not have exact time of entry,

Nor do we have any footage from inside.

Cyber unit is currently reversing...

- Name. - Max mitchell.

So, why's everyone ragging on you like that?

- Address? - 1736 rosewood crescent.

Did you used to work with them? - Date of birth.

- December fifth, 1993. Sagittarius.

So, you used to work with them

But for some reason got transferred to sea patrol?

It's called maritime unit.

- I think I like 'sea patrol' more.

Dammit.

I need a new login. Alright, look, you stay here. Don't move.

You got it, amigo.

... So we have to be better at uncovering them.

This was the third major robbery in the last six months

By the same thief.

- Well, how do you know it's the same thief?

- He leaves a signature at every scene. This symbol here.

Internally we're calling him the infinity thief.

How do you know it's a he?

- Forensic psychology unit worked up a profile.

Any other questions?

I'm good.

Each robbery has been executed to perfection.

Not a single print or speck of dust to go on, until now.

The forensics unit found specs of dirt at the scene.

Samples traced to a region of vineyards outside the city.

- What's with the coins? - Shh.

Hey chief, what's with the coins?

- We're not sure. We think he's messing with us.

- Sorry, I just got swept up in the moment.

- Sit down. - This thief has been

Ripping off the mayor's biggest donors.

So, call your families,

Tell them you won't be home for dinner.

You're gonna canvas every vineyard.

This is the mayor's number one priority.

Move out!

This is exciting.

- They'll take you for processing tomorrow.

- They're not going to catch that thief.

- Really? Tell me, oh wise one.

- Someone as good as that guy or girl

Doesn't accidentally leave behind dirt that specific.

It's a game. A distraction. But the pennies there--

That's the clue they're daring us to figure out.

- So what are the pennies supposed to mean then?

I don't know yet.

- Well, you'll have 15-20 to think about it in prison.

One more thing,

I'm pescatarian, who should I tell?

- I'll pass be sure to pass it along to the chef.

Thanks!

Goodnight you prince of maine, you king of new England.

This is ellis.

- It's max. Listen, after dinner,

Which was surprisingly good. Oh and I just remembered--

- Who is this? - Max.

You know, the sassy, fiercely charming woman

With drop dead gorgeous style you hung out with?

- How are you even calling me? - I get a phone call.

Well, I'm sorry you wasted your only phone call.

Goodbye-- - w-wait! Listen,

I know where the infinity thief is gonna hit next.

- Where? - Heritage appraisals, downtown.

- How do you know that? - Look 'em up.

They just received a rare coin.

A 1937 edward the eighth coin, worth a cool 2.5 million.

Their logo is the same formation as the coins.

Go check it out. You heard your boss,

You crack this one,

I bet the mayor will let you out of sea patrol.

- Maritime unit. But w-what do you get out of this?

- If I'm right, give me the credit.

- Wait, how did you get my number?

Hello?

Police. Anyone there?

This is detective ellis, badge number 8397, I need backup

At heritage appraisals, 2384--

I'm just trying to get the facts straight here. So, you didn't see anyone?

- He came at me from behind. The guard said he was wearing a mask.

While you took everybody in the department

For wine tasting, I actually caught the guy in the act.

Are we done here?

- The police commissioner wants to know

How you figured this out when you're not even on the case.

- The sheer number of rules and procedures

That were broken here is baffling.

That said, this is the closest by far

Anyone has come to cracking this case.

- You're making me blush, but it was a team effort.

- The mayor's biggest donors are the ones being robbed.

They are not happy. That means he is not happy.

He wants this case closed.

- A man of action. I like it.

- In here, I talk, not you. Do you understand?

Clear as day.
