Now I'm not saying

you don't have good reason.

But this is a blessing, a second chance

to become a family again.

That was his dying wish

and you will honor it even if it kills you.

We interrupt this broadcast

for a special report.

Billionaire businessman, Kyle Wills,

was kidnapped today...

... while en route to his office.

Eyewitness reports

from shocked onlookers...

... described a chaotic scene in which

as many as five armed and masked men...

So, what was it like

growing up together, guys?

Come on, I grew up in child facilities

and foster homes but had a good time.

- You wanna know what it's like?

- Yeah.

All right, I'll give you a little taste.

You ever played the game

"Got you last"?

- No.

- Oh, it's great, man.

All right, what you do is...

...you hit each other back and forth,

boom, boom, boom...

...till one guy gets the other guy

really good.

And then you run away

and you say, "Got you last."

All right? Then the other guy

chases after you and try to get you back.

It starts all over again. Good times.

A lot of fun.

Except for when you play it with Sam.

Because you know what Sam would do?

I would finally get him once,

real good.

And I'd run off.

But he wouldn't chase after me.

And then I would live in fear...

...for hours, sometimes even days...

...wondering when Big Bad Sam

was gonna attack me.

And you know what your brother

from another mother would do?

He would set his alarm...

...for 3 a. M...

...and walk into my room...

...when I was still sleeping

and slap the sh*t out of me.

And I'd be laying there

looking up at this monster...

...and he'd lean down

and he'd say, "Got you last."

That's the funniest game we played.

The rest, I keep between myself

and my therapist.

- Grow up.

- Kiss my ass, Sam.

- Got you last.

- You all right?

- inside the warehouse,

and then proceeded on their way.

A homeless woman...

I'm gonna kill you!

... identified Edgar Rodriguez

as one of the Wills kidnappers.

According to the FBI,

Rodriguez is an escaped fugitive...

... facing charges for grand theft...

That's my bail skip.

The Wills family is offering

a 5 million-dollar reward...

... for any information directly resulting

in the billionaire's safe return.

Take this.

Ten mils of Valium.

You'll think you're at Club Med.

I don't need this.

I'm doing you a favor. Now, take it

or I'll shove it down your throat.

Okay.

So all of our communications

with the FBI...

...are done through computer.

Very high-tech,

you wouldn't understand.

You're only good

at destroying computer companies.

Don't know jack sh*t

about how to use them.

May I talk with my family, somehow?

Will you please shut up?

You think I'm some kind of ogre?

See the camera? What do you think

I bought that for, numbnuts?

They see you, you see them,

everybody cries, beg for mercy...

...et cetera, et cetera.

Now, the feds are gonna wanna

make sure that you're alive.

So I've rigged a live feed

of the Dow Jones stock ticker...

...to run across the screen.

That way,

you can read real time stock quotes...

...and see just how far

your company's gone in the toilet...

...because their leader

is about to die a horrible death...

...unless they pay up.

It's cool, huh?

Okay.

Leo needs a favor.

Yeah.

I was thinking,

until we figure out what it is...

...that we could do

as a "family business," you know...

...I've got a little situation

I could use a little help with.

How can I help, bro?

"Bro?" What are you, 12 years old?

Next, you're gonna be asking me

to high-five.

Leo, do you want help or not?

Beggars can't be choosers.

Right. Sorry.

Turns out, since I won't be getting

at the old man's cut for two years...

...I'm in a little bit of a financial bind.

See, I posted this bond

on this guy, Edgar Rodriguez...

...for $250,000 and he skipped on me.

If he doesn't show up

for his trial next week...

...I'm on the hook for the $250,000.

- This is a nightmare.

- I know. Tell me about it.

But the good news is...

...it seems Rodriguez is involved

with that kidnapping...

...that's all over the news,

so we got that going for us.

EcoSummit down 44.

Smith & Yale down four.

Solomon Gold up 16.

Volume's light, 630 million shares.

Susan, Janson, I'm okay.

Janson. Janson, I want...

He knows we can trace it.

We'll never get any more than that.

The old man's probably laughing

his ass off.

You know this was his plan all along.

No, it wasn't, okay?

He knew it would take that long.

Especially with you.

Sammy the bullheaded,

you're just like him.

You're the only one on this planet...

...I would let compare me to him.

I want you to know that.

What would you do?

Slap me around like one of your perps,

huh?

Now, wouldn't that bring down

the wrath of God?

You should have been a nun.

Yeah.

Cheated on my husband,

ruined my marriage...

...and ex-communicated from the church.

I got two failed marriages.

A kid who barely knows me.

I'm damned to hell for sure.

Chips off the old block, huh?

That's bogus, though.

You know, it's time you grew up

and just stopped blaming him.

Now, it's up to us.

I love my brothers...

...unconditionally, even you.

Even the one I just met.

Really? What's his name?

Douglas.

- He seems very sweet.

- For a juvenile delinquent.

Well, you're no prince either

and I still love you.

That's kind of how family works.

- You're actually gonna help me out?

- FBI's gonna throw every agent at this.

Wills is a huge contributor

to the Republican party.

They're gonna find Rodriguez.

No, but they're not gonna be looking

for Rodriguez, not just yet.

They know this guy is not smart enough

to pull off something this big.

He's nothing but a lieutenant

with the cartels in Mexico.

So interfere with FBI investigation

and be killed by the cartels?

Yeah,

but there's a 5 million dollar reward.

But we're not looking for Wills

so there is no 5 million.

So we split your bond.

That's what, 10 percent on 250 grand?

Twenty-five grand split three ways

is 8,333 and change.

No, listen, Einstein.

The deal was we work together, okay?

We split the old man's money.

That bond is mine.

No, no. This counts as part

of our two-year sentence.

The deal was,

anything the company makes...

...gets split three ways. That's the deal.

Tell me what you know.

Slow down, turbo.

I see the way things are going here.

You're snapping out orders

and expecting the two of us to just eat sh*t.

No. Nina said that we work together

as a team.

Oh, well, thank you, John Wooden.

I'm a cop. That's what I do.

Along the way, I'll figure out what

contribution you make to the team.

- Until then, I'm stumped.

- Please. Please.

Listen.

Rodriguez was running his mouth off

about this girl that he was dating.

This famous stripper in Mexico.

Know how many strip clubs

are in Mexico City?

She's famous, right?

That narrows it down.

Angelina. Angelina. That was her name.

It was a singular name, like Madonna.
