Sneaky Pete (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Marius Josipovic - full transcript

- Get up.
- I apologized.
I tried to explain.
What do you want from me?
- Get up!
- Pete, stop.
- Get on your feet!
I don't wanna get up.
[Maggie] Stop. Stop.
He stole my name.
- Yeah, I know, but...
- He stole my family.
I know, but I still don't
want you to hit him.
Why... why are you
sticking up for him?
I'm not.
It's just we need him.
- No, we don't.
- Yes, you do.
You shut the fuck up!
[Maggie] Look, Pete...
[Pete] What?
Just a couple more days.
And then what?
Y-y-you get this money?
Yes, I promise.
I promise.
I didn't steal your family.
They think you're me!
We do not have to settle this
right now.
But it's not fair!
No, I know.
All right, come on.
I know.
I know it's not fair.
What is this, a picnic?
I'da punched you
in the fucking throat.
Hey,
thanks for the support.
There's no way I'm getting
in the middle of that.
Wasn't he supposed to be here
by now?
He'll be here.
What do they even look like?
The same, older.
Your grandfather
had a stroke.
He had a stroke?
He's all right.
- Yeah, you're sure?
- Yeah, and your grandma
hasn't changed at all.
[laughs]
What about--
what about Julia and Taylor?
All grown up, same as you.
I can't stand that
they think that he's me.
I wanna see 'em.
I have to see them.
I know, but we have to
do this first.
We're so close, Pete.
Trust me.
- We need him...
- I can't... No...
To get the money
and stay alive.
Please?

Mohegan has three casinos.
This is Casino of the Wind.
The red circles, cameras.
Yellow circles
are spotting stations
and the green arrows
are exits.
That's all the, uh, security
I could identify.
You might have missed something.
Ah.
[chuckles] There's your buffalo.
So what do you think
about the vanish?
Sure.
- Oh.
- If it was still in the museum.
But here, in the middle
of a casino,
with sight lines
to three security stations
and eyes in the ceiling?
It can't be done.
Jesus.
This is your miracle worker?
The trick is always impossible
until it isn't.
Those are your words.
Maybe I was wrong.
You don't believe that.
Almost impossible,
and risky as hell.
I'm listening.
You need a slippery Sam.
A big move
to cover the small moves.
- Right.
- Which means...
We need a second buffalo.
To start with.
Well, if it was easy,
anybody could do it.
That's my line.
I know.
I'm just siding with you.
So we need a second buffalo.
I heard that.
Okay, do you know
where to find a second buffalo?
No. Do you?
So your job--you basically
solve mysteries for criminals?
Part of my job.
Okay, well, this...
This is my job,
and in order to do my job,
I need you to trust me.
Ha. Trust you?
Uh, um, when you finish
over there,
could we, um, get started?
[Marius] What is the...
What is the key problem?
[Porter] 365 degrees
of visibility.
We gotta cut the damn thing
in half.
[twangy music]
Are you gonna say anything?
[Porter] Right...
About what?
About what the fuck
do you think?
Gavin.
Did you forget?
He was the one
in the shower curtain
with the knife in his chest.
So we're still gonna
do the small one?
You got a friend ends up
in a shark tank, gets eaten.
Now, you blame the shark,
or the person
who pushed your friend
into the tank?
And we're still gonna
get the money from them, right?
We're definitely
getting the money.
Right.
Yeah.
Hey.

Then we'll shoot you
with this gun,

You are gonna take me to where
you and Dockery and his goon
buried the body

Why?
Doesn't matter why.
A thing about being a lawyer
is knowing when you need
a lawyer.
I am giving you
your one chance
to not need a lawyer.
You're gonna show me
where that grave is,
or everything that you did--
conning Audrey,
disposing of the body--
it's all gonna come to light,
and you're gonna be disbarred
and jailed
before the next fucking
"Star Wars" movie comes out.
I did it to get us out of
the Dockery situation.
I didn't know Pete
was gonna bring the money back.
What do you wanna guess
this Valerie's name
was on that prick's
piece of paper?
So where do you have her
stashed?
A storage facility
in Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon?
Why would you use a place
in Mount Vernon?
Aunt Maggie suggested it.
Pff. Must be that same place
that Lila and Danny used
back in the day.
[Otto] They kept that guy
in there.
What was that guy's name?
[Sam] Rinsler, Rinsler.
- Yeah, Dean Rinsler.
- Stashed him there for a week.
I bet that's why
Maggie and her crew
picked the place.
She remembered it from before.
Thought it'd be an easy target.
What are you talking about?
I told you I wanted
to find out
why Pete and Maggie came back.
I talked to a guy
at the gun range
he robbed three years ago.
Oh, Jesus, Audrey.
He said it was connected
to the robbery
of a storage facility
in Mount Vernon.
Several people were killed,
but one got away:
a white woman in her 50s.
You think that was
Aunt Maggie?
Who else could it be?
It could've been anyone.
Oh, Otto, stop!
You know who and what
our daughter is.
[suspenseful music]

I got a pregnant lady
in a storage facility

[Remi] I'm sorry.
It's not for sale.
I understand, but could...
Could you just hear us out
for one second.
Um...
We're personal shoppers for
a very high net worth
individual.
If anybody says
it's Kevin Costner,
you didn't hear it from us.
We found photographs
of the buffalo online,
we sent it to our client.
He believes this is one of
the Roosevelt buffaloes,
as in shot by
Theodore Roosevelt.
Now, you and I both know
that's highly unlikely,
but once our client
gets something in his head,
he's hard to convince otherwise,
so all I'm saying is that
if you were to sell us
the buffalo for the going rate,
we could turn it around
and sell it to you-know-who
for ten times that amount,
and we would split
the difference.
What do you think?
What, no?
- Hmm...
- No.
I don't know.
Margaret, tell Remi
how much money
he stands to make.
I'm sorry, everything that
my colleague
just told you... it's a lie.
I'm so sorry.
Excuse me?
Oh, wait...
Wait, I'm sorry.
[Maggie] You okay?
- Wait.
[Marius] I think I'm getting
a migraine.
My aura is, uh...
I need to get my Imitrex.
It's in the car.
- Your what?
- My... My migraine medicine!
I need to get it,
in the car.
Wait, Marius...
Uh, we'll be right back.
What the fuck is wrong
with you?
I told you to follow my lead!
I...I just couldn't.
You couldn't what?
You couldn't lie?
A man got acid
thrown in his face.
I think,
under the circumstances,
it is okay to lie.
You know my problem
isn't the lying.
My problem is
it was the wrong lie.
That man doesn't care
about the money.
Everybody cares
about the money!
That... He doesn't.
He's not
- gonna sell the buffalo.
- Oh, is that what
your spirit guide
is telling you?
What, did you read
the aura of the buffalo
or some bullshit?
Don't mock my beliefs.
No, no, I'm not mocking you.
I made $15,000 in two weeks
in New Orleans reading sitters.
No, I think
it's a great racket.
You know,
if we were all such frauds,
then how come Ethel
knew about your brother's toe?
Oh, yeah, no, I'm still working
on that one.
Well, you're still working on it
because it wasn't a trick.
It's not a trick?
Mm, I'm seeing a man.
Oh, stop it.
No, no, he...
he's... [cheeping]
He's wearing a uniform.
Does that mean anything
to you?
He told you
that his dad was military.
No, no, no,
this is before Pete's father.
No, this guy promised
to get you out of Bridgeport,
because he said
you were too special
to be stuck there,
and you believed him,
just like you believed
all the others
who told you the same thing.
There were only two.
Yeah, but by the time
the second guy came around,
you were so desperate
to get out of there,
you betrayed your whole family.
You told a lie.
Oh, my God, screw you.
No, that's what my spirit
guide's telling me.
No, people come to me
because they're in pain.
They're looking for comfort,
so I use my gifts to help them.
Every time, just you
and your spirit guide?
Yeah, fine,
I don't have
Ethel's extraordinary gift.
Sometimes the spirit...
it reaches out,
sometimes not,
so yes,
in order not to leave
the client hanging,
sometimes I use...
shortcuts to help.
[laughs]
Shortcuts?
You mean like
you pay attention
to what they wear
and how they talk
and how they move
and what they look at?
Maybe you take a peek
in their purse
when they get up
to go to the bathroom?
How is that any different
from what I do?
[sighs]
I use...
these techniques
to help people, not hurt them.
I do it because I don't
have Ethel's gift, or yours.

that you tell yourself.

Oh, hi, hon!
Marius, it's really a pleasure
to...
Oh!
[Marius] Yeah, he's a...
He's a hugger.
It was a problem
on the cell block.
Yeah...
Yeah, I imagine
it would've been.
Why don't I talk
to Maggie,
see what I can find out
about this storage place?
Pete might not even know
what's going on.
Like hell.
I bet their two friends
are in on it, too,
whatever it is.
Seriously?
Right now,
you see, I calmed down.
Take a deep breath,
or that...
Hey.
They here?
Yeah, they're with Grandpa.
You meet Josipovic yet?
Not yet.
What if he recognizes me
from the hotel?
He's the criminal here.
Do you think he killed Winslow?
That is not what I meant.
Come on.
When...
When, uh,
when Marius and I were...
were in the joint together,
I would tell him stories
about you guys
and this place...
- Yeah.
- And it always lifted
our spirits.
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, I almost feel like
you're my family.
[Audrey] Ha!
[Otto] Well,
any friend of my grandson's
is a friend of mine,
and now that you two are back,
I'd be happy to have
a family dinner every night.
- To family.
[Maggie] Oh, thanks, Dad.
- Oh.
- To family.
[all toasting]
[Julia] It's really nice of Pete
to take care of his cellmate
like this.
Yeah, yeah, very sweet.
Hey, Pete,
I thought you said
that your friend here
went to Ottawa.
Well, he's back now.
[laughs]
What are you,
gonna interrogate me now?
You can take
the cop out of the station...
[laughter]
Holy shit, Taylor,
you're a cop now?
[Pete] Huh.
- Now?
[Marius] He means now,
because in the stories I would
tell him, we were kids,
and I didn't want to tell him
you're a cop,
because I didn't want
to make him nervous.
But yes, Marius,
Taylor's a cop.
He's not gonna
arrest anybody, but yeah.
[Taylor] Not tonight,
at least,
but there is a New York
homicide detective
that would really like
to talk to Mr. Josipovic.
Hey, didn't your
probation officer
call you Josipovic
the other day?
A lot of questions.
You met Pete's
probation officer?
Uh, briefly, yeah.
It was a long story.
Yeah, no, that is
actually a funny story.
Um, we had a... a guard
when we were in together
who would call us
by our cellie's names
and it was one of these things
that would make us
feel unimportant,
or, you know...
[Julia] That's terrible.
- Yeah. It's like
the dehumanizing prison thing.
Wait, why would
your parole officer
know what some guard
called you in prison?
Well, that's what's funny,
because...
[Maggie] It's weird.
- No, listen to this.
My parole officer
is our guard's brother.
[laughter]
[Marius] No shit.
No, these guys are
really intense.
He make you squat and cough,
too?
Oh, God, Dad...
- I'm sorry.
- Grandpa.
Pete, I thought you used
Josipovic
as an alias
for your insurance work.
Yeah, I used a lot
of different aliases.
It's just what
came to my mind, you know?
It's probably from the guard.
Well, it seems dangerous,
exposing your friend like that.
I agree, I agree, I do,
especially considering
he didn't...
he didn't tell me
that he was gonna use
my name.
- But I did tell you, remember?
- No.
Yeah, I did,
right before I gave you
a cut of the money
that I made doing it.
No, but that was after
you already did it,
so I didn't really have
much of a choice...
Well, I'm not gonna
do it anymore.
- Good.
- I'm Pete Murphy
from here on out.
It's okay, it's okay.
Gina,
how did you...
How did you and Marius meet?
- Was it before or after?
- Yeah.
You know, actually,
it was during.
- Oh.
- Yeah, yeah,
I'm a literacy teacher
at the prison
and Marius
was one of my students.
It sounds creepy, but it's...
He understood Shakespeare
better than any student
I've ever taught.
- Wow.
- Yeah, yeah.
Just listening to him
read the sonnets,
I fell in love.
Huh, wow.
Yeah, I guess some women
just have a thing for criminals.
I think it's romantic.
Yeah, it reminds me
of, uh, Lila and Danny.
No, no, no, Mom and Dad met
when she gave him a concussion.
So, yeah, that's right.
It's a little bit dangerous
and romantic,
[Maggie] It's like
Romeo and Juliet.
No, no, no, no,
it's more like
"Tenspeed and Brown Shoe."
[Maggie] [laughs]
Hey, Aunt Maggie?
I was wondering if maybe,
after this,
we could try another reading,
maybe try to talk to Mom?
Yeah, for sure, of course.
Of course.
[Pete] Oh...
[Pete] Hey, wait a second.
You came... You were...
You came in the motel room
the... the... yeah...
That's the one that...
Remember I told you,
someone brought pizza.
That's because,
when you came here that night,
and you were thinking
about using again,
Carly, uh, saw us
and she followed us
back to the motel.
Isn't that right, Carly?
- Yeah.
- What do you mean, "using"?
[Pete] Pete.. Pete...
He didn't tell you?
I'm a drug addict.
He's an ex-drug addict.
He's in recovery right now.
Active drug addict.
My name's
Marius Josipovic,
and I'm a con man.
I'm the lowest of the low.
I think that murderers
are better than me,
because what I do
is I go in
and I lie to people.
I steal their families.
[Marius] Let's not make this
a meeting right now.
Let's not make this
a meeting.
[Maggie] We all make mistakes.
We do.
But, you know,
the important thing
is we learn from them
and we move on.
[Maggie] Right?
[Gina] Right.
For some of us, uh,
mistakes are a pattern
we choose to repeat.
What? What does that mean?
It means I know about
the storage facility!
What storage facility?
- Carly, go upstairs.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.
- Go upstairs!
[Maggie] Don't talk to her
that way.
Don't yell at her.
She's not a child.
And you're not her mother!
Bad enough you fill her head
with nonsense
about talking to Lila.
Just because you
don't understand something
doesn't make it nonsense.
Pete held up a gun range
while you robbed
Hall Street Storage
in Mount Vernon.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Wait, what?
What I don't understand,
or can't figure out,
is why you sent Julia there,
of all places, two days ago.
Maggie, is Julia in danger?
[laughs] What? No.
Julia had a problem
and I actually went
- to help her fix it. I was...
- It's okay.
They already know
about Valerie.
Okay.
I mean, I just was
trying to help Julia.
Oh, bullshit!
You two show up
out of the blue
- after all this time.
[Maggie] Oh, my God.
You're up to something.
[Maggie] I'm not up to anything.
[Marius] Grandma, Grandma.
We're here because...
because Grandpa had a stroke.
That was six months ago!
Stop treating us
like we're senile.
Tell me why
you're really here.
There's nothing to tell.
Tell me, now!
[Maggie] Mom,
look, there is nothing to tell.
Then get out of this house!
[sighs] Dad...
Maggie, I love you,
but if you can't tell us
what's going on,
you've got to leave.
Grandpa...
All right, all right, I'm out.
Let's go.
Yeah. Come on, Marius.
Come on.
- All right.
- Gotta go.
Sorry.
No, wait.
Aunt Maggie, wait.
Honey, it's okay.
We'll.. We'll contact
your mom some other time.
I promise.
You are such a bitch!
I just couldn't sit there
any longer
let them lie to my face.
Doesn't matter.
I'll find out
what they're up to.
We may have to
put a pin in that, Grandma.
We have some more
pressing issues to deal with.
Oh, God.
You didn't find the gun?
No, I told you,
I found the gun.
I couldn't find the grave.
Gun?
Grave?

I'm more interested in

Excuse me, Marius,

[Kent] Oh, he didn't tell you?
Well, Mr. Leon Porter, sir,
we're the FBI.
[suspenseful music]
Go away.
You gonna kick me
out of the house, too?
I'd like you to take a ride
with me.
I need your help
with something.
No, thank you.
It's not a request.
[Greer] There's one
for each of you.
Everything you've ever been
even suspected of doing
since you were 18 years old.
Every con, every hack,
every safe cracked,
every five-finger discount,
every drug pushed
on the reserve,
every house robbed.
[Kent] And we don't need
a file for you,
because Marius switched
your records,
so you go to prison,
no matter what.
What the fuck...
And Frank Hooper...
that isn't your real name,
is it?
[Kent] You're Luka's guy.
- Luka who?
[Greer] But that's all history.
The fun part is the future.
That's what brings us things
we can charge you with now.
We either have
a fingerprint,
surveillance video,
or snitch willing
to testify against you.
Everything from obstruction
to conspiracy.
In the case of
Margaret Ruth Bernhardt,
given her participation
in a robbery
that left four people dead,
it's the brass ring.
Murder in the first.
[Kent] The choice is simple,
people.
You cooperate
and help us take down Luka,
or you go to jail.
You... You know
what you're doing?
You know what we call it
in the confidence world?
It's called an urban cowboy.
It's all hat and no cattle.
You have nothing,
so you're trying to
intimidate us
with all this razzle-dazzle.
I'll give you
some razzle-dazzle.
If you had anything,
you would charge us,
and you would
suspend prosecution
pending cooperation.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We'll do our job,
you do your job,
and we'll see who wins.
How about we just tell Luka
how you're planning to
fuck him over?
You all go to the tub,
snap, crackle, pop.
You don't think Luka
already knows
that we might rip him off?
He's got a guy right here.
He's watching us.
Frankly, I'm insulted
that you think
we would fold so easily.
So if you have nothing else,
we're gonna get back to work.
Well, it seems Marius has
made the choice for all of you.
Hope you're all prepared
to live with the consequences.
So, Marius.
Now, I'm curious.
Uh, just when did the presence
of the FBI
slip your mind?
I was going to tell you
about the FBI.
When? When we're just about
to go to trial?
They don't have anything.
- They don't?
- No.
Uh, let's see what Luka
has to say about that.
Luka already knows
that they're watching.
Oh, he knows,
but we don't?
- Well, you do now.
[Porter] Oh, I do now?
- Yeah.
- Let's go.
[Marius] Oh, for Christ's sake.
[Porter]Wait a minute.
Wait, wait,
where you going, man?
[Audrey] It's good you aren't
speaking to me.
That way, I can talk,
and you can listen.
Your aunt was right
about one thing.
You're not a child anymore.
It's time you knew
why my relationship with Maggie
is what it is.
A few years after
Pete's father died,
your aunt took up
with a guy named Derek.
He was a crook she had met
through our family business.
When Derek went to jail
on a rather large charge,
your aunt Maggie bailed him out
without collateral
and without asking us,
ran with him to California,
dragging little Pete
along with her.
The cops caught up with them,
Derek went to prison, and
Maggie never forgave me.

So, why am I here?
Your money's in trouble.
How's that?
To take care of it,
I made a deal with Luis Mercado
to run it through
his legit businesses.
In exchange, I had to use
some of it
to bond someone out for him.
Now, he's trying to kill her.
I don't see how that
affects my money.
Now, you get the bond back,
whether she's dead or alive.
How...
How do you know that?
Well, the way I see it,
it's a win-win-win.
Let Luis have Valerie,
I get my money laundered,
and you no longer
have to be my launderer.
What do you care
about Valerie, anyway?
She's a criminal.
[foreboding music]
And I'm a bail bondswoman,
not an executioner.
Uh, technically,
you'd just be the guard
walking her to the execution.
Nobody blames that guy.
All I need is a location.
And if I say no?
Then you're the only one
who loses.
What are you gonna do, kill me?
Threaten my kids?
Whoa...
I would never do that.
But that young guy,
Colin, or whatever
his name is,
real go-getter.
I thought it was the 50 grand
I got on Valerie's head,

driving him.
It's like it's personal.
You should see what
he did to my man Omar.
Who knows what he might
do to you?
So...
Just tell me where Valerie is,

It's... Um, it's

so the CO2 cartridges
fill ribs that are in the sheet
which mimics the--
the shape of the buffalo
and we remove the buffalo
uh, and then the...
the sheet deflates when
someone pulls on it.
And how...
How buffalo gets out of casino?
We're still working on that.
You gonna tell him now?
Or should I?
Tell me what?
Well, there's a little bit
of a bump in the road.
Ha, "bump."
More like the front range
of the Himalayas.
[Marius] It's the, um...
It's the FBI.
Fucking FBI.
Not new.
Well, I know FBI.
This is different.
[Frank] To make the buffalo
disappear,
Marius had to make
a loud noise to distract us.
To get the FBI's head to swivel,
take a nuclear blast.
Well...
I fool big organization before.
I fool four to get
15 million out of Yugoslavia.
That's Albanians,
Italians, Serbians,
and Montenegrins.
All due respect, Luka,
this is the FBI,
not some Balkan government
in the middle of a war.
[speaking native language]
Not government.
Mafia.
Very sophisticated.
United Nations send
15 million to Balkan
to buy medicines during war.
Money intercepted
by general.
Goran Bobetchko.
[speaking native language]
This is a bad man.
But it's too much money
for Bobetchko to sneak out
by himself, so
he needs partners.
Here is plan:
Albanian mafia get money
to coast.
Montenegrin mafia
sail money from coast to Italy.
Only, here is problem.
Montenegrins,
they don't have a boat,
but they know me,
so we load money
onto Papa's squid boat,
and Bobetchko
sail off to Italy with me.
[laughs] We land
and I run into town
to buy food and wine,
you know, to celebrate,
and I keep going.
Bobetchko go to look for money
on Papa's squid boat.
Oh! No money!
[laughs]
Money on other boat.
Luka's boat,
heading to New York City.
I was own decoy.
Do same here.
FBI want me.
FBI think I have money,
they will follow.
So you lead the FBI away
while Marius steals the buffalo.
Well, we do have
a second buffalo, which is good.
We would need a...
A second build.
We only have, uh,
three nights to be ready.
Why then?
There's a woman at the casino.
She works there,
she knows me.
We have to go
on her days off.
It's doable.
I think it's doable.
