I'll handle this.

Nate: Vitamins? She O.D.'d on vitamins?

High-dose supplements.

They give them out at the factory.

They work...

...15-hour days.

So they give them vitamins to keep their energy up -

Also instead of meal breaks.

Sweatshop.

The owners of the factory, the pans,

Helped her come over to the states six months ago.

I want to ask you something.

Is - is Florence here - you can just tell me - it's -

Is she here illegally?

No, the pans are very careful.

They provide work papers,

Keep everything just on this side of legal.

But once the women are here,

They make them work off the cost of their passage.

Right, which, uh, takes years

Because, uh, my guess is

They pay them well below minimum wage.

And they know because of the language barrier,

No one's going to complain.

She's afraid if she causes trouble,

She'll lose her job.

All she wants is to earn enough money,

To bring her parents over.

Now, what about your office? What do you guys do?

How come you can't fix this?

We're an immigrant-advocacy network.

We can provide counsel, but without a formal complaint,

We can't do anything.

Okay. Well, we can.

Now, does - you - you understand, right?

Thank you, Mr. Ford.

Yes. Yes. Of course.

It's gonna be all right.

Oh, she's not, uh, here, so I - hey.

So, what do we have planned for Florence Ong?

Uh, we're gonna get her enough money,

To take care of her and get her parents to America.

That's not a very big payoff.

I want to give you an easy one to start.

Why are you here?

Sophie said you always meet the clients with her,

So I thought - yes...

That's something I did with Sophie.

O... kay.

The rich and powerful, they take what they want.

We steal it back for you.

And sometimes, bad guys make the best good guys.

We provide...

He says he's cool with her, but you know how he is.

The way she introduced herself -

That was a smooth con.

Yeah, but it didn't exactly build trust.

Look, we didn't get along when we first started.

Eliot, how long did it take before you trusted me?

Hmm? Eliot, you do trust me, don't you?

That's not the point, Sophie.

If Nate doesn't like this chick, then it's not gonna work.

Yeah, which is why you've got to get him on board.

Look, you need a grifter.

The last time one of you tried to grift...

You wound up kidnapped by Russians.

That's this brother right here. Hardison.

Uh, we - we still can't let that go?

Listen to me. Tara Cole is the best.

I wouldn't have sent her if I didn't trust her.

And I know you're gonna love her.

So just - just give her a chance.

She is hot.

Very hot.

Hot.

Warm? Cold?

Why are we staring?

Yeah, I'm not saying you should throw her at him.

I'm just saying, get him on board.

Look, he doesn't always know what's good for him.

And even if he does,

He doesn't do anything about it.

He just lets it walk straight out the door and -

Like all the way to Europe?

Just do it for me, huh?

So I don't have to worry about yo

Hey.

Touchdown.

I just miss you.

Okay, run it.

Hardison: Gloria and Russell Pan.

Self-made millionaires.

They built their fortune off a company,

That produces cheap knockoffs of the latest fashions.

The bargain bin has been very good to the pans.

They got nice car, big house in Brookline.

Gloria here - she works the factory floor.

She designs all the clothes.

Russell, he handles all the accounting.

And works with the partners in China.

Okay, Gloria designs the clothes.

Does she have any training?

She did a correspondence course with a fashion school.

And she subscribes to all the magazines -

Vogue, instyle, fashion & style.

She, uh, she submitted to "Project Runway".

Last year? Last three years.

Okay. That's our way in.

We're gonna sell Gloria Pan...

Her dream. Yeah, no, I get it.

I mean, the word "Con" comes from "Confidence", right?

So we got to build her confidence,

Make her think she's the greatest designer in the world. There you go.

How? How?

We need a Caprina.

W- what does that...

So he just says things and then walks away?

Yeah.

You're gonna have to get used to that.

Come on, Russell, let's go.

Hmm...

"Caprina. Hottest designer in the world".

Man: Fabulous look!

Woman: Over here, over here!

This? Don't you love it?

It's by Caprina.

This? Don't you love it? It's by Caprina.

Fabulous look!

This? Don't you love it? It's by Caprina?

Tara: So there you have it.

Like everyone else,

We can't wait to see what surprises Caprina has in store

For her highly anticipated fashion show...

...At New England's fashion week.

Hmm.

It's Caprina's sketchbook. No designer would be without it.

Great.

Tell me about fashion week.

The big designers use it to launch their new collections,

But it's mainly showcases for rising stars.

The investors are always looking for the next big thing.

Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Andre V -

They all got their start at fashion week.

What?

Is that - is that mascara, dude?

You got on guyliner, man. Man -

And the leather pants? What the -

This is - listen - this is fashion-y.

If you're Steven Seagal.

Don't. Don't.

Not everybody can rock the scarf.

I was gonna say "Steven Tyler", but "Seagal" works.

I...

It's a bold choice, man. I respect it.

Tell me this looks eggplant to you!

no, no, I like the purple,

But I need something that will hold up to Ruching, yeah?

Something, uh - this, perhaps!

Did you invite Marcel to the show?

You know how touchy he gets.

Excuse me, is this your...

Grazie!

My designs, my dreams!

For a designer, this is sacred.

Oh, I know.

Ah, you are artiste, too, huh?

Yes. Yes, I am. I'm Gloria Pan.

And can I say, I'm a great admirer.

So kind.

I'm sure your work is, uh, wonderful, too.

May I?

Really? Ah.

Uh, please.

Oh.

So lovely!

Such bold use of buckles! Huh?

I call it "Pilgrim Chic".

Who are you with? Gui? Dior?

I'm inndent.

We must go.

We must talk more.

Come to the run-through for my show.

I insist. Julian, tick tock.

You mean fashion week?!

Of course. That is why I am in town.

That is wh all the designers are in town.

And bring your sketches, that is whhuh? Am in town.

There are people you must meet.

Ciao, Bella!

okay, she's on the hook.

Great. Let's go steal a fashion show.

"Steal a fash-" does he always talk like that?

You're on comms.

Uh, you do know I can hear you.

Am I all clear?

12 channels, 120 assistants.

My logic filter's telling me

The traffic is being directed by somebody named Kerry.
