[elevator dings]
See, when Danny and I embarked on this journey, we did so on a hunch.
A sloppy one, a last-ditch effort to rescue my wounded pride.
We’d no idea we were so close.
I’ve never been made like that before.
So, you were following me.
[sighs] Danny Turner. I’m an investigator.
The Chuns hired us to do due diligence on your wife’s family.
It’s nothing personal.
You work with Cotesworth.
And you’re a reporter.
I write clickbait.
Well, that’s not what you went to journalism school for.
You were workin’ a real story when you met your wife, right?
Yeah. She was a mark.
You used her as a wedge to get dirt on her family.
No… that’s not true.
No? ‘Cause I think ya found something and then they tried to scare you.
Your accident? Your new family ran you off the road.
It wasn’t the Colliers.
The story that I was researching, they weren’t the targets.
They were the victims.
Victims?
Of who?
[quietly] Stop asking questions.
He’s always listening. You’re going to get us both killed.
Who?
Leila, who are you scared of?
Viktor Sams.
I warned your friend. He did not listen.
He was stubborn as all hell. [Chuckles]
You… believe me?
I do… I do believe you.
You said the Colliers were victims?
Blackmail?
What do they have on them?
Was it Captionem Blue?
You don’t know what that means.
And I don’t want to.
He has confederates everywhere.
They will do anything to protect his identity.
Are you in danger?
Is that why you’re down here?
Or is there something else you are trying to tell me?
You will not stop. [Rufus chuckles]
I can’t.
My friend is dead.
I hope you do not join him.

[indistinct chatter]
You’ll ride in there.
Will I see you again?
I don’t think so.
Hey, I could’ve lied to you.
I’m glad you didn’t.
[engine revving]
You gave them a chance.
That’s the best you could do.
I’m outta practice.
What? Saving refugees?
Giving a fuck.
Ya look exhausted.
Maybe it’s ’cause I’ve been trying to solve the murder of a guy who was trying to solve my mom’s murder, not to mention lying to my best friend.
And for what?
Ya know, just so a waitress could make up some story about how she harpooned a guy ’cause he was fucking mean to her?
And then I have… And I have this fucking thing, the shipping fucking receipt thing.
And I thought it was gonna lead me back to the guy who killed my mom, but apparently, it’s worthless.
At least, according to the world’s greatest detective who, by the way, I grew up hating or maybe still hate.
I don’t, I don’t even know.
[deep breath]
I’m sorry. I’m j… I am exhausted.
We should get back.
Or…
Or…?
Well, that shipping fuckin’ thing?
I know someone here in Malta… a forensic accountant.
I mean, she might be able to put a date on it.
[inhales] But…
We’ll have to stay the night?
I know a place.

RUFUS: Ms. Goh.
I fear our conversation was cut short.
Went on long enough for me. [Rufus chuckles]
Curious.
The way you swallow your R’s?
You’re middle class, playing at street-smart.
It’s a put-on, isn’t it?
We all do it more or less, but… why?
Why run from who you are?
Why show the world what we’re ashamed of?
Makes us so vulnerable to manipulation.
You talk a lot.
Thank you.
You think you know me.
Don’t I?

RUFUS [through speakers]: A little girl running from the shadow cast by her older sister?
The rebel, trapped by society’s grip.
You must’ve been so easy to recruit.
Recruit?
Viktor Sams.
What did he promise you?
Never heard that name before in my life.
[Teddy sighs]
TRIPP: I swear to God, this was not me.
I… [sighs] I mean, why would I leak these?
Look at this one, my dick looks humiliated.
Your mother threatens me yesterday, and now I get this.
Oh, so you think my mom sent ya these?
Listen to me.
You have no idea what your family is capable of.
Look, I don’t know who took these, okay?
I… I guess you were followed or… or I was followed.
Who would follow you?!
That’s a dig!
Of course, it’s a dig! These photos could ruin me!
But for you? I-I-It is a blip on the radar!
“Ooh, remember that kid who backed his Bronco into the front window of Andaluca? Yeah, his dick is on the internet. They’re talkin’ about a run for Senate, ooh.”

You have said you would do anything for me.
So, I am begging. Let’s leave.
That’s not possible.
I have a three-billion-dollar investment to close…

Everyone thinks I’m crazy.
I was at NSA, 19 years.
I ran white-hat operations that made it to the PDB.
And when did you start looking into Viktor Sams?
Lady… are you outta your fuckin’ mind?
I’m tellin’ you, he has ears everywhere.
You say his name, you wind up on his list, too.
How did you get onto him?
We flag your regular payments.
Dark web transactions.
Crypto wallets these billionaires think are anonymous.
The same name popped up over and over.
He must’ve been pullin’ hundreds of millions a month.
But as soon as I started askin’ questions, my boss shuts me down.
I should’ve stopped there.
They loaded my hard drive with porn.
I got canned, my wife left.
My kids won’t talk to me.
I live in a rental. I don’t know how much longer I can make payments.
I went from decorated federal employee, husband, dad, to a sick freak with just a few clicks of a mouse.
And do you think he did all of that?
I don’t know if it was one guy or 50 college kids in Ireland.
[on recording] Every time I’d track him and his servers, Argentina, Morocco, Hong Kong, they’d pop up somewhere else.
Whoever he is, however he’s doin’ it, he’s untraceable.
It’s like he’s everywhere and nowhere.

That’s right, Thatties, they found the killer.
Tiny little waitress, but wait ’til you all find out how they caught her.
Arrested her sister and then she confessed to get her sister out of jail.
Apparently, that shit works every time.
RUFUS: Diligent as ever.
Accurate paperwork requires thought.
At least three days’ worth, I’d imagine.
Enough to enjoy the sun deck ’til we dock in Palermo.
The murder is solved, no?
With a bow, this one.
Quite… Friedrich is pleased.
No reason to deny these guests the pleasures of the open sea.
I hope you find a way to enjoy yourself, too, Cotesworth.

Parlor tricks. Your stock and trade.

Ha!
Or it would’ve been one.
You must love your husband very much, to plot a soiree like this.
More tricks.
Why can’t you ask plainly what you want to know?
Would you answer me if I did?
Whatever the Chuns are paying you, it’s too much.
Huh… I quit.
I’m a gentleman of leisure now.
You wouldn’t be talking to me unless you were working an angle.
Mm.
Viktor Sams.
Can you not give up this goose chase?
He is real.
I am convinced.
If he was, wouldn’t you have caught him by now, after 18 long years?
You claim you are at leisure, but you are no gentleman.
Mm.
Hardly a man at all.

They were common people, the models he painted.
He made sure they mattered.
He saw them, even if the world tried to make them invisible.
He was… stubborn.
And he didn’t shy away from how… ugly and raw life really is.
And when he finished this masterpiece, what was his reward?
The Church banished him… again. [Imogene chuckles]
Well, he did try to kill a man… again.
[camera clicks]
Maybe he thought that by bringing something beautiful into the world, he’d be absolved.
The Church didn’t see it that way.
Hm, he was too modern for them.
Yeah… a man out of time.
