Sneaky Pete (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - The Sinister Hotel Room Mystery - full transcript

Marius sees an opportunity when he is seized by two mercenaries searching for Pete's mother Maggie and the eleven million dollars she stole from their employer. Meanwhile, Audrey and Otto ...

[Julia] Last season,
on "Sneaky Pete"...
[Pete] There was a tire swing.
That's what
I remember the most.
Every summer,
Grandpa would fix it.
Pete, would you
shut the hell up?
Three years in here.
I feel like I've spent
every moment of that
listening to this crap.
[grunts]
- [grunts]
- You're a con man.
You, what, you tried to rob
a gun range at gun point?
I get out of here in two days.
You're not even up for parole
for another two years.
[upbeat music]
Hi, Grandma, Grandpa.
It's me, Pete.
I called the whole family over,
all your cousins.
[Marius] Great.
[Shannon]
Taylor, I love you.
You should be with me.
I should've said it
on the day he proposed,
but I am saying it now.
I want my money, Otto.
Oh, motherfucker.
[yells]
[glass shatters]
I'm here to talk about this one.
He's no use to you.
But he's still
the father of my son,
so I need him alive.
So talk.
♪ ♪
What are you doing?
Maybe there's still time
to un-ring that bell.
I don't need the money.
I need someone to launder it.
[Marius] I need you
to tail somebody for me.
If we do this,
you teach us some shit.
You wanna learn something?
Okay, fine, first lesson,
lose the boyfriend,
then we'll talk.

So, what's going on?
I need to find someone
who paints houses.

There's a cop here
looking for Pete,
a New York cop named Winslow.
Listen to me, Carly,
I want you to tell him
that you do not consent
to a search of your residence.
[engine rumbles, revs]
[car crashes]
Audrey!
I'm in trouble.
- You have to get out of here!
- Grandma, just...
- You can't be a part of this!
- [mumbles] Get out of here!

- I already am.

- Hey, Pete.
- Do I know you guys?
No.
Gina.
We want you to take us
to your mother...
and the $11 million.
[music builds]
- Where's your mother, Pete?
- I don't know.
You don't know?
The fuck kinda stupid answer
is "you don't know"?
What's to keep us from snapping
your string right now?
Because I know how to find her,
and you don't.
Huh, let's go then.

[Marius] How did you, uh...
How did we, uh, what?
[Marius] How... [stammers]
How'd you, uh, figure it out,
my mother and me?
[chuckles]
None of the guys
our employer hired before us
bothered to ask
what else happened
at Mount Vernon the day
the $11 million were stolen.
They never figured out
some fucking idiot
robbed the gun range.
By the way,
do you get that a lot,
people asking what kinda
fucking idiot robs a gun range?
- Every day.
- Now, where we got smart
was wondering,
"What if you're not an idiot?"
First dot we connected
was a security guard.
We could put him
at the gun range
right before you made
your entrance.
Ten minutes later,
he's back at work,
dying in the shootout.
[Joe] You were trying to
hold him there, huh?
Keep him from getting back?
It's too bad it didn't work.
I mean, you went to jail
for fuckin' nothing.
How'd you know that I was out?
Oh, we had a guy,
built a bot,
looks for anything to do
with you or your mother.
Last week, he sees your name
pop up on an airline ticket.

Okay, two tickets for the 5:20

You wanna go to Buffalo

good reasons for wanting to go?

You try warning them,
we see them go into hiding...

[Marius] It's $11 million.
And what happens
when the FBI picks you up
for what played out
in Vince's poker room?
They're not even looking for me.
Their agent was shot.
Money is missing.
- They're looking for you.
- Well, but they...
They can't prove anything,
Marjorie. Come on.
[Marjorie]
That's not what I mean.
If these two goons see you
getting scooped up by the FBI,
and they find out
that you're not Pete,
what's to stop them
from killing you?
[Marius]
Well, I'll think of something.
Marjorie, we're talking
about $11 million.
[sighs] All right.
How do you propose
on finding it?
You don't have much to go on.
I know that ten minutes after
Pete robbed the gun range,
there was a big shootout that
left the security guard dead.
There's gotta be
something online about that.
And then, I got
their license plate number.
You know, I just don't
have a computer, so...
Marius, I'm retired.
I just need you to do
a little bit of research.
Then I will expect
a lot of money.
Okay, okay, I'll give you
5% of whatever I get.
Mm, I wish I didn't
answer this phone.
All right.
I assume there was a threat
to go along with all of this?
Yeah, they said they were
gonna kill the whole family,
- starting with Julia.
[Marjorie] Oh, that's great.

Bernhardt Bail Bonds.

Uh, no, this is Julia.

Uh...
[man] Shit.
You don't remember me?
This is Luis, Luis Mercado.
Of course I remember you.
[Luis] Little blondie,
answering the phones and shit.
- Hey, is Otto around?
- Not right now.
[Luis] Okay, well,
have him hit me back.
Can I ask what this is about?
[man] Uh, just have him call.
Hey, I bet you don't still
wear your hair in pigtails.
[chuckles] Not so much.
[Luis cackles]
[door opens, bells jingle]
I'm starting to think you're
just making excuses to see me.
[chuckles]
I was running the numbers,
and I thought you should
hear this in person.
Mm, sounds like
I'm gonna be disappointed.
In order to launder
your $150,000,
I'm gonna have to write
fake bonds for fake people,
and then put their
fake deposits,
your cash, in the bank.
That should take
three to four months.
If you need it faster,
you could take it to Mohegan,
turn it into poker chips.
Let me guess,
you Googled
"How to launder money,"
and the plot of that movie
with Captain Kirk came up.
You see it?
It's good.
[computer clicks]
Anyway, what they
don't say in the film
is that the casinos now have
RFID in the chips
to show that they've
been gambled.
You wanna give
the money back, huh?
Don't forget why you're
in this situation.
You offered a service to get
the father of your son
out of an early grave.
You withdraw that service,
what's to keep something
from happening to him,
or God forbid,
someone you actually care about?
Three months is too long.
I need the money back
by next week.

Why do you think Sean's been
going to Hartford so much?
I haven't cared about Hartford
since the Whalers left.
[chuckles]
He's been lobbying
to have Connecticut
do bail bonds like Kentucky,
where the state runs it.
That would put him

Not if he gets

To get who leased it

What about...
what about his mom?
[Marjorie] The last I find
any mention of Maggie Murphy
is three years ago
in New Orleans.
- And the, uh... the shootout?
- [engine grinding]
[Marjorie] Ten minutes after
Pete walked into a gun range,
there was a shootout
at a nearby storage facility
that left three dead.
Two guards, and...
- And a security guard.
- Yes.
And before he shuffled off
this mortal coil,
the guard said
two people got away,
one of whom was
a white woman in her 50s,
and having recently
played Pete's mom,
I know that description fits.
So $11 million was stolen
from a storage facility?
[Marjorie]
No, at least not officially.
In none of the reports
is there any mention
of $11 million
or anything else being stolen.
What does that tell you?
Well, it was stolen
from a criminal.
[Marjorie] That's right.
And any criminal
with $11 million
isn't just any criminal.
It could be some hedge fund guy.
I mean, uh, you know...
[Marjorie] With goons
who threaten to kill a family?
Marius, before you go looking
for Pete's mom or the money,
I'd say your first
order of business
is to find out who the fuck
you're dealing with.
