Leverage (2008–2012): Season 3, Episode 8 - The Boost Job - full transcript

Nate and the team infiltrate a crew of top-flight car thieves to bring down a greedy car dealer.

...and if youre just joining us, we're following
New Hampshire police

in pursuit of a stolen vehicle.

According to reports, the driver
is a school teacher from Massachussets,

not exactly your typical car-jacker,

though we've no confirmation on...

Uh, wait a minute.
Something's happening.

Driver, pull over!

Pull over now!

Hands up. Step away from the truck.
You're making a mistake.

Sir, step away from the vehicle!

You're making a mistake!



Step away from the vehicle!

It's a mis-
a misunderstanding, okay?

Face down on the ground!
I didn't steal the truck!

It's a misunderstanding, okay?

All the way down! All the way!

This is my truck,
okay? I didn't steal it.

I paid for it, all right?

Okay. Hold on. Okay.

Can we just talk for a second?

I didn't steal the truck!

The rich and powerful
take what they want.

We steal it back for you.

Sometimes, bad guys
make the best good guys.

I mean, if it wasn't my truck,



why was I making all
those car payments?

Let me ask you something -
why'd you run?

I know. I shouldn't have.

But I panicked.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

You, uh, you bought it used?

Yeah, from Penzer's
a few months ago

for my landscaping business.

You can't really get by on just
a teacher's pay these days,

not with a family.

Mm. And how did you
find out it was stolen?

I went to a job in Nashua

and the "check engine"
light came on,

so I took it to a mechanic,

and he tells me that the
truck's onboard computer

spit out a fishy vehicle
identification number.

So the VIN number was
reported as stolen.

I figured it was a
mix-up and took off.

Next thing I know,

I'm the poster boy for
"America's Most Wanted."

I appreciate you bailing
me out, Mr. Ford.

But what do I do now?

I mean, the cops seized the truck.

The bank says I still have
to make good on the loan.

The school suspended me because
of the pending criminal charges.

I keep thinking,
"how did this all happen?"

It's called car cloning.

Thieves steal a vehicle
then go to another state,

where they find a car of
the same make and model

and use its VIN number.

Then, using those numbers,

they register the stolen
vehicle in the first state.

And since each state runs
its own VIN database,

the hot car comes up clean.

Now, Paul Mantlo -
he had the bad luck

of wandering from Massachusetts
into New Hampshire,

where the VIN was copied.

And of buying a stolen car.

Where'd he get the car?

Duke Penzer...
he's a former race car driver.

He parlayed some minor
success on the lower circuits

to start his own
used-car dealership

out in Payden, Massachusetts.

Hi, folks. I'm Duke Penzer.

In my racing days, old Veronica
here never let me down.

You come on down to the finish
line at Penzer Automotive,

and we'll make sure
we don't let you down.

He still runs laps on the weekends.

He tries to keep up his image.

I checked out some of his prices,
and they're sick.

I mean, 20%, 25% below blue book.

Yeah, well, it's easy
to offer great deals

when your inventory's stolen.

How's he getting the cars?

He's not nicking them himself.

That's a good question.

I haven't found... well,
he's the distributor.

The suppliers are
probably a car-theft ring.

That way, cops trace
a hot car to him,

he can say he got it from
someone who's long gone.

Besides, the scam falls between
state jurisdictions, so...

I was a car thief.

That's how I know.

All right.

So, Penzer is a big
fish in a small pond.

We need to muddy up the waters.

Hardison, you get us a base?

Yeah. Art's auto sales.

It's a little mom-and-pop shop
down the road from Penzer's.

It's run by Art and Joy Bauer.

They've been in the
community for decades,

but Penzer's running
them out of business.

They're on the verge of bankruptcy.

It gets awfully wet this time
of year in Payden, doesn't it?

And chilly.

Yeah, don't you think the Bauers
need a little sun and fun?

Little r&r?

Mm. Mm.

Which is why,

on behalf of the American
auto dealers association,

we'd like to honor you, the Bauers,

with this lifetime
achievement award.

As part of this prize,
you'll receive

an all-expenses-paid
trip to Tahiti!

Say Hawaii.

The tahitian reservation
systems are for crap.

I mean Hawaii!
For two whole weeks...

10 days. 10 days.

Do you know what's going on? No.

But since we've already
laid off the staff,

at this point, shutting
down for a couple of weeks

will actually save us money.

I'll pack my speedo.

All right, we're in.

Now what?

Now? Start your engines.

Vroom-vroom.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Payden, Massachusetts'
very own Duke Penzer

now coming into pit row.

1:10.36.

Not too bad considering I
got loose in turn three.

Still a track record.

Not exactly.
What are you talking about?

That was half a second
faster than my last run.

Both times were just beaten.

Somebody beat my record? Who?

Whoo!

Yee!

What was his time?

He beat your record by...
15 seconds.

What? That's impossible!

It is? Oops.

Uh, I... oh, I meant 1.5 seconds.

Uh, sorry. I must've
read that wrong.

You think?

Whoo!

That was one of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride !

Hey, there, junior.

Ahh! What's with the jammies?

What do you got in that thing -
a supercharger?

Oh, hell, I don't know.

My guys just picked
this up somewhere.

I just figured I'd kick the tires.

What's that... a matchbox car?

What do you think, darlin'?

I think I want to go now.

Go? W-we just got here.

I'm asking you if you think
I should buy these wheels.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Veronica's not for sale.

"Veronica"?

So Betty was the fast one.
Who knew?

Look, mister, uh...

Lucas. A.J. Lucas.

Well, I don't know who
you think you are...

Well, I'll tell you what -
I think I'm the guy

that just broke your track record,
if I'm not mistaken.

One good time trial
don't make you a racer.

Let's do it, kid.
Let's... let's mix it up.

Let's go... you and me, right now.

But I'll tell you what.

We're gonna do it old school,
all right?

I win, I get your car.
You win, you get my car.

Plus, um...

...Other considerations.

I doubt you could handle either.

Green flag... 15.

Excuse me.

Todd?

Yes, Mr. Penzer?
Run along, Todd.

All right, I changed the
compression on the pistons

and opened up the valves.

Should get about another 75 H.P.

I think the left bank is
running a little lean.

I tweaked that.

Head looks good on the flux.

You'll get a better
burn on your fuel.

How's, uh, the rest of
your research coming? Good.

I found out a bunch
of the local thieves

work for a guy named Lefty.

You know how to find him?

Got some ideas.

Okay, well, when we're done here,

that'll be your priority -
infiltrate their gang.

Hardison?

All right. Now, look, man,
I just installed this.

You punch it to release
an oxidized chemical

into the engine.

It's my own little mix.

It's kind of like nitrous
but three times the kick.

Yeah. It's gonna turn your
manifold into pudding,

so don't use it too soon.

Hey, man, I'm serious.

Don't mess my car up.

You know, we still got to find
a way to slow down Penzer.

I got you covered... E.M.P. cannon.

It emits a focused
electromagnetic pulse

that'll knock out all the
electronics in his car

for 30 minutes.

Eliot?

This chick is toast.

Uh, I installed one next
to your rear exhaust.

It's the only place I could put it

where it wouldn't
affect your car as well.

All right, you show
me how to trigger it.

You don't. I do.
I'll hit him from right here.

All I need you to do is
get in front of Penzer,

line up so I can get a clear shot.

He'll just think he stalled.

30 minutes, his car is good as new.

All right. Let's do it. All right.

You didn't get that, man?
"This chick is toast"?

It's... it's "Ghostbusters."

Man, I don't listen to you.

Come on, man.

"Don't... don't cross the streams"?
It's classic.

Push the car, man.

That all you got?!

Nate, you got to get
in front of him, man.

I know that, Hardison! I'm trying!

What... what's going on here?

Come on!

Hey, I'll send my guys
to pick up the car.

Rookie mistake.

All right. The mark is primed.

Hardison, Parker,
go find this Lefty.

Everyone else,
let's go steal us some cars.

Where the hell is everybody?

It's Saturday. This place
ought to be hopping.

They're all at Art's. Art's?

Yeah, they've got new management.

Comfy?

But it's the playoffs.

Yeah, and it is about
to be the layoffs.

Here. I checked them
out on the way in.

He's raffling off my car?

Yeah.

But on the bright side, at least
Mr. Carey's still here.

Great. We got Carey doing
his weekly looky-loo.

We need paying customers.

Yes.

Todd? Yes, sir?

Is this...

A raffle ticket?

Yeah, it is.

It's mine.

Unbelievable!

Get off of Facebook!

Look at this. There's no
way he's making money.

Well, prices are only part of it.

He's got a new salesperson
who's unstoppable.

Who?

Wait. I know her.

Yeah. She was at the track.

All right, Sophie. You're up.

Look. She's going after Mr. Carey now.

Hi, there. That ought
to cool her off.

Before you say anything,
I don't need any help.

I'm just looking.

Of course.
I'm not gonna bother you.

I just... I just have one
little question, huh?

Atkins or South Beach?

What?

What diet are you on?

'Cause I can see your, uh,
your belt is cinched too tight

and your shirt is a size too big.

You've lost what, five,
six pounds recently?

Seven, actually.

Seven! Wow! Congratulations.

That is quite an achievement.

Thank you.

That requires so much
discipline, you know?

Ooh. Denying yourself
all that sweet food,

all those tasty treats...

Now, you see her touch the car

when she says "sweet" and "tasty"?

She's making him link
those values to the car.

Neurolinguistic programming.

Mnh-mnh. No. I couldn't do it.

I can't deny myself such pleasure.

You know, for me,

life is about seizing
opportunities, you know?

Live life to the fullest.

Drink too much wine.

Skinny-dip in the ocean.

Make love in a hammock.

Do you know why...

just as an example -
why driVINg this car

is like making love
to a beautiful woman?

Because I've never done
either before in my life?

What? A cute guy like you?

Well, now is your chance.

Just... just take a look.

Who knows where it might lead?

I tell you, if Sophie
did this full time,

the auto industry's
troubles would disappear.

Is he signing a contract?

I think he is.

I think he's crying.

Hey! There... there's the
stall-out king himself.

How you doing?

Whatever. I came back
here to buy Veronica.

Oh. Sorry. I can't give away my trophy.

I'll give you $150,000 for her.

Please. How about $300,000?

$300,000?! That's ridiculous!

Be reasonable. Bueno.
Claro que si.

Uno momento, por favor.
Perdon. What is it, Skeeter?

Mr. Lucas, I think you
should take this call.

It's our... foreign friends.
All right.

Uno momento. Come here,
come here, come here.

Si?

A.J., I need you to sign...

Not now, hon. I'm busy.

No, no, no. The customer's
ready to write the check.

Now, did I hire you to look
pretty or ask stupid questions?

Come on, now. Move on.

Si.

Si.

He stole my baby.

Could've done without the arse slap.

Yeah, just trying to sell the bit.

Sorry.

Hardison, Parker,
ball's in your court.

So, you stole this car?

Yep.

Exactly how is this gonna
get us Lefty's attention?

Well, car thieves are
territorial, all right?

You bring a car like this
to a local chop shop,

every boost in town knows
there's a new player.

Also...This is Lefty's car.

Yo, my man.

Hey!

Heard you're the man to
see about chopping a car.

Maybe.

You jacked this car?

This car?

Yeah. How much?

Give me a minute.

Hello, Lefty.

Okay. Shouldn't be long now.

So...

Car thief... how'd that happen?

Started when I was about 12.

Met this kid, Kelly, in the foster system.

He was about four
or five years older.

Taught me how to make a slim Jim,

how to use a jiggler key, you know.

What happened to Kelly?

We boosted a bait car.

He saw the cops coming and ran.

I never saw it coming.

He left you behind?

Never looked back.

Spent six months in juvie
and never saw Kelly again.

All right. Here we go.

So, how is this going down?

Okay, they're gonna
want us off their turf.

We're gonna have to
conVINce them they need us.

It's not gonna be easy,
and they might shoot you a little.

You are spectacular.

I beg your pardon.

As a salesman.

20 years in this business,
I've never seen a better closer,

miss... Bacich.

Katie Bacich.

Thank you, Mr. Penzer.

Please, call me Duke.

Yes.

Spectacular.

Why don't you let
me buy you a drink?

I know the best spot in town.

Mr. Penzer... Duke.

Duke, do me a favor,
huh? Don't sell a salesman.

I know when I'm being
set up for a pitch.

Maybe so.

But don't you want to
know what I'm selling?

You picked the wrong car to boost.

No, we didn't...Lefty.

Who are you?

I'm Danielle. This is Major.
'Sup?

We want to join your crew.
We're full up.

You need us.

We stole your car, didn't we?

That? Anybody can steal that.

But nobody's dumb enough to do it.

Oh.

Well, can anyone steal a car

that uses a laser-cut
rolling-code transponder key?

Impossible. Those
systems are unboostable.

We can do it -
in under two minutes.

All right.

Show me you can steal
an unstealable car.

Two minutes, or else.

Two minutes.

Don't break the window or
crack the steering column.

All right. Do your thing.

Oh, I have no idea how
to break into this car.

W-what? It's new tech.

Screwdriver and a coat
hanger ain't gonna cut it.

I mean, once we get in,
I could probably start it,

but we got to get in.

And what, we get -
h-how are we gonna get in, Parker?

Mnh-mnh. No. Mnh-mnh.
Me? Mnh-mnh, no.

You can hack anything
with a battery, right?

You now have one
minute and 30 seconds.

Look, you can do this.

Okay. What's the hardware
behind this door?

The latch mechanism is
connected to an actuator.

Send an electrical signal to
the actuator, door unlocks.

So the chip controls
the electrical signal.

Yeah. That's what you need
the remote code for. Okay.

I can send an RF signal,
but you said rolling code,

so that means billions
of combinations.

Hardison, just ignore
the distractions.

Work the problem.
It's the first rule of the boost.

All right, look,
I can't crack the code,

but I may be able to
confuse the receiver.

I got it!

Hardison...

I-I got it. I got it.

All right. 15 seconds.

Okay, transponder-equipped cars

have backdoor startup sequences -
an override.

So it's like a cheat code for a
video game, so it should work.

Assuming they haven't
changed the sequence

since I last did this.

I forgot how much fun this is.

Not bad.

All right. Bring this to my shop,
and we'll talk.

Shorty!

Keep an eye on them.

So this is the best
spot in town, huh?

Absolutely.

This is the winner's circle.

Which is why I want you
to come to work for me.

I've already got a job.

I'll double your salary.

That's very generous,
but I'm not looking...

You know you're a tool to him.

Me? I'm looking to build something.

And for that, I need a partner. Oh.

Once he's gone,
I'll let you run that shop.

But you got to do something for me.

Tell me about his setup.
How can he offer those deals?

Okay, now, don't get too specific.

Let him fill in the blanks.

He works with...

Alternative suppliers.

What do you mean? Fleet sales?

No.

Suppliers with... minimal costs.

He's selling hot cars.

All right. Good.

He's figured out the first
part of the equation.

All right, Eliot,
give him the rest.

Yeah, making the call now.

Hello, officer? Yes, ma'am.

I'd like to report some
unsavory characters

wandering around downtown.

Yeah, I... they -
they had tattoos,

and I think they were
wearing gang colors,

and, uh... and I'm pretty sure
they were speaking Spanish.

Yeah, I-I saw them walking
around down by Penzer's auto.

Yes, ma'am.

O-okay.

All right. Chop shops are
a quick and *** setup.

There's probably gonna be one,
maybe two guys in here

cutting up their latest catch.

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Parker, Hardison, what's going on?

Trying to find out. Stand by.

Got to scan for alarm
tracking systems.

Don't want cops zeroing in
on a radio signal we miss.

It's clean.

Follow me.

You see, selling cars

doesn't have to be
some grubby little...

Oh, son of a...

What the...

Well, this is terrible.

Let me get my phone.
I'll call the police.

No! Don't call the police.

I don't need a bunch of deputy
dawgs snooping around here.

What?!

You're working the
same scam as A.J.

You're just like him.

No. I am nothing like him!

Hey, it's Duke. Get me Lefty.

Lefty!

Phone!

Over here is your
traditional chop shop.

We can strip a car
and get its parts

to anywhere in the
country in 24 hours.

They do VIN cloning over here.

Clean a hot car and get it a
full set of papers in an hour.

What's that over there?

You know how everyone keeps
their registration and insurance

in the glove box?

Well, we take those and use
them for identity theft.

Girls don't boost cars.

At least that's what these
guys keep telling me.

But you... you kicked ass.

That thing you did with your phone?

Can you teach me that?

Yeah. Y-yeah. Uh,
let's just go by the computers...

Okay.

Nate, did you get all that?

Yes, I did.

It's a mall of crime.

Yes, I know. But the
plan does not change.

Look, why don't we just
call the cops, huh?

We've got more than
enough to bust these guys.

No, no. These guys are too careful.

They'd scatter before
the cops got there.

Besides, closing down the
shop won't nail Penzer.

No, we stick to our plan.

No, we catch them red-handed
planning something big.

Sophie, did Penzer put
2 and 2 together yet?

Doing the math now.

No, no. Shut up! Shut up!

I just want to know who did this.

We picked up a call on the
police scanner earlier...

some gangbangers causing
trouble near you.

Gangbangers?

Speaking Spanish.

Mr. Lucas, I think you
should take this call.

It's our foreign friends.

Uno momento. Come here,
come here, come here.

It's Lucas. He's working
with the latins.

Running the boost?

The only crew who can
move that kind of volume

are the salvadorans,
but they're Florida.

Well, they're branching out,
you idiot.

You mean the salvadorans are here?

Yes. Yes, they're here.

They're probably
clearing a path for Lucas

and keeping an eye on him.

He's crazy.

Salvadorans are brutal.

Yeah. Yeah, they are.

So, if Lucas were to,
say... I don't know...

lose one of their shipments,

they probably wouldn't be too
happy about that, would they?

Gotcha.

Your boss did this.

Huh? No. No, no, no, no, no.

A.J. is a jerk,
but he wouldn't... no.

And the question is,
do you want to work

for somebody who does this...

Or do you want to work for someone

who's bringing modern business
principles to the game?

What are you talking about?

Diversified products,
marketing metrics,

online opportunities...

That is what I'm
bringing to the table.

I'm not talking about stickup
men and strung-out joyriders.

I'm taking this business
to the next level.

I want to see your operation.

All right. First thing tomorrow.

And all you got to do

is tell me when Lucas'
next shipment comes in.

Tomorrow morning at the docks...

nine cars, top end and very hot.

Now...

...Let's go finish that drink.

Exactly how is that gonna
help you order pizzas better?

Hey, slide. Don't stab.

Feel it catch on the lock rod.

Forget them.

Just tune out the distractions.
Work the problem.

This model has a weakness.

Here.

Short out the posts
on the solenoid.

Thanks.

Ignore those idiots, okay?

They've been sucking
exhaust fumes for too long.

They're not so bad.

They just don't want me
screwing up on a real boost.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, I don't know where I'd go

if they didn't let me
hang out with them.

Hey, uh...

Josie. Josie MarVIN.

Here. These might help.

Listen up!

We've got a top order tomorrow
morning down at the docks...

nine cars.

So I'm gonna need
all hands on deck.

Even you, Shorty.

Nate, the hook is set.

All right. Go and get me some bait.

Listen to me. Don't go
on the boost tomorrow.

Call in sick, sleep in late,
just don't show up.

Are you a cop? No.

But trust me,
you don't want to be there.

They're all going down.

And stay away from the shop, too.

Look, I don't understand -
Listen to me!

These guys don't care about you.
They're not your family.

Alright, tell me exactly what she said.

That this boost was trouble.

And to stay clear of here.

And then those two just
showed up out of nowhere?

Yeah. But they know how to boost.

This can't be a coincidence.

It's Lucas. He's setting me up.

You want us to call it off?

No. No, no, no, no.

We can turn this around.

Go down to the docks early,
surprise them.

Pack up the shop, 'cause they're
expecting to trap us here.

Where should we
take the cars, then?

Bring 'em to my lot.

And the new guys?

Kill them.

Dump them down by the docks.

Wait. What?

Y-you don't need to do that.

Just...Kick them out.

"Just kick them out"?

This isn't a treehouse, sweetheart.

No, but y-you don't...

Shut up!

Do me a favor... grow a pair.

This is business.

All right, Lefty should be hitting
the shipment in about an hour...

Hour and a half.
He called to push back our time.

Hmm. All right.

Well, that'll give Eliot more
time to offload the cars.

It'll also give you more time
to bring Penzer down to Lefty's.

And once he's there,
we call the cops.

And we catch Penzer, Lefty,
and the crew with the stolen cars,

all in the same place.

By which point, we'll have
already done the blow-off.

Let's go.

Get out of the truck.

Back away from the cars.

Don't want to damage
the merchandise.

Toss us the keys.

You want 'em?

Get him!

He went that way! Go!
Come on! Hustle!

Get him!

Come on! Go!

Where is he?

He's gone.

Yeah, we got the cars.

Good, good. They clean?

Checking them now.

Once they're done,
I'll bring them to the lot.

Guys will stay to handle
the other loose ends.

Great. Uh, I got something here
I'm gonna need you to handle.

Thank you.

So I'm anxious to see
this operation of yours.

Oh, of course.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Where is everybody?

Cars aren't even here.

Eliot?

Where are you?

Something's not right.

Go! Nate, we're blown!

What?

All right, Parker,
Hardison, hold tight.

Eliot?

All right, Sophie,
you got to get out of there.

Um, excuse me.

I just... I just have
to use the ladies' room.

Sit...Down.

Sophie, I'm on my way.

Parker, Hardison, I need your help.

You need some help?
They're shooting, dammit.

Yeah.

Well, handle it.

Now?

All right. I'll be right there.

You...Stay put.

You got nowhere to hide.

Time's up.

Nate!

"Nate," is it?

Let's go.

I don't know who you people are,
and I don't care.

I've spent my whole life
beating pissants like you.

Sit down!

Now, we're all just gonna sit
here and wait for my associate,

'cause he's -
he's much better at the...

Mechanical stuff.

Great rescue.

What's so funny?

Nate and Sophie.

There's got to be another
car around here somewhere.

Get in!

Shotgun.

Get in the back!

Nate, we're on our way.
Be there in 10.

Cars are here. Shop's closed up.

Kip and the boys are mopping
up down at the dock.

Great.

Take these two with you... quietly.

Don't want to attract
a lot of attention

with all the hot cars on the lot.

Don't worry. We scanned them.
No signals coming out of them.

Let's go! Get up!

Shall we?

You know, I was trying to help you.

You weren't supposed to tell them.

I didn't know that, and I didn't
think they'd try to kill you.

Wait, wait, wait.
Hold up. You told her?

I should've known.
You're a menace, Parker.

What?! She deserved a chance!

Ooh, Nate's gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.

Oh, stop whining!

I got hit by a car!

"I got hit by a car."

Get over it! I'm gonna kill her, man.
I'm gonna kill her.

Hey, hey, hey!
Nobody's gonna kill anybody.

Seriously, though,
Nate's gonna kill you.

Wait, wait, wait.
Who are you people?

We're the good guys!

Stall.

What? Stall!

You are such an idiot!
I can't believe I ever listened to you!

We're in this again! It wasn't me!

What are you yapping about?!

Hey! Hey! Nobody asked you!

Damn it! Parker,
where'd you learn to drive?!

Before I stole cars,
I was a getaway driver.

Before? You started stealing
cars when you were 12.

Pull to the side of the road!
Pull over!

Get out of the way, you old bat!

Get out of the way, you old bat!

This is what I get for
trusting a drunk... a drunk!

No, not again!
Nobody asked you... hey!

I'm the one that ends up paying
for it every time! Hey! Shut up!

What the hell? Lefty.

Take them inside.

Put them in the office.
Keep them quiet.

I'll take care of this.

Oh, damn it!

Officers! Just a little,
small snafu.

It's all under control now.

Those vehicles belong to you?

Yes, they do.
Just came in this morning.

Perhaps I could
interest you in a deal.

Got a beautiful little subcom-
These are yours?

Yeah. Is there a problem?

Yes, there is.

According to the massive number
of alarm tracking system signals

we're receiVINg,
all these cars are stolen.

What?

Don't worry. We scanned them.
No signals coming out of them.

So I just aim this thing
at them and zap them?

Yeah, man. They'll be good
as dead for half an hour.

No, no, no. There's got
to be a huge mistake.

I just took delivery of
that shipment this morning.

You know what? The guy
you want is right inside.

Come on.

Slide over!

What's up, man?

Gun! Check all the
cars in this lot.

No. No! Who knows what
else is going on here?

Come on. No-o-o!

Please be calm. No!

It'll be a lot easier
for both of us. Come on.

I don't get it.

I've never seen
cops respond so fast

to an alarm tracking signal.

How'd you know they'd
get here so quickly?

Let's just say the
owners of those vehicles

were highly motivated.

Hey, Maz, how come
you didn't comm us

when those wannabe thugs attacked?

'Cause your little zapper
thing fried my earbud.

Told you to take it out
before you used it.

I was also underwater.

Oh. You know,
I should work on that.

Yeah. Man.

Eliot, here. Make sure you
bring this back with us.

So the Bauers are gonna have
a little bump in business

when they get back, huh?

You know, I could've
done without the knee.

Just selling the bit.

Nate.

She almost got us killed.

Look, she thought she was
doing the right thing,

which means she
actually thought about

what the right thing might be,
w-which is huge for Parker.

Parker.

Just go easy on her, will you?

I need you to help
me with something.

So, with Penzer's arrest,

all the charges against
you have been dropped.

And here.

Penzer's racecar -
worth about $150,000,

maybe more to a collector.

Oh, I-I can't repay this.

No, no, no.
There's no need for that.

But, uh, you know,
that could go toward

maybe jump-starting your
landscaping business,

and...You might want to consider
maybe hiring some new help.

She's a quick study,
and she's eager to work.

Paul.

Josie.

Thanks again.

All right.

So, have you ever
done any landscaping?

Not really, but like she said,
I'm a fast learner, so...

We'll see ya. Okay. Thanks.

Well, you know,
she's not a bad kid.

No, she isn't.

She's just got to be
around the right people.

Yeah. Don't we all?

So, hey, you saw me take
down that guy, right?

What, the little guy? Yeah.

He wasn't little. He's pretty -
pretty... he had big shoulders.

I believe you. He was tiny.

Hey, I want to say thank you.
T-thank you, by the way.

Why?

For the car.

Oh, man, any time you want to
borrow it, it's yours, man.

It's fa-a-a-a-st.

No, no, no. No,
any time you want to borrow it.

No, no, it's my car. No,
Hardison changed the pink slip over.

I don't care if Hardison
changed anything on the card.

No, it's my car now.
It's not your car, Nate. It's my car.
