Now, I'm done playing

around with you.

Get your ass

in this car right now.

What's up?

Mama.

Welcome home, Oscar.

You have a beautiful family.

I know you work with

the Atlanta police department.

There is something

I need from you.

Do you have a moment to talk?

Daddy, twirl me!

You okay?

Would you like to go swimming?

In what?

I don't have any stuff.

What are we doing here?

You said you wanted stuff.

I thought we weren't supposed

to be outside.

It's not about being

inside or outside.

It's about being smart,

not drawing attention

to yourself, blending in.

You check in a hotel and you

never leave, it's suspicious.

You stand on the side

of the road screaming,

and it looks like

you're being abducted.

That draws attention.

Here you go.

What do you want me

to do with these?

Swim.

Oh, these aren't me.

I'm out of my hello kitty phase.

You missed it.

Cate, you said you wanted

to go swimming.

Pick something or don't.

It's up to you.

Fine, I wanna swim.

I'm Adam this is Ian and Ben.

You here for

the off-road bike thing?

'Cause I'm one of the drivers.

Oh, no, no.

I'm just hanging out.

With?

Nick.

My dad. Kind of.

Nick, who's kind of your dad?

Sounds kind of weird.

Yeah, it is kind of weird.

Is that your dad's charger?

God, I'd love to drive

that thing.

You want a beer?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

No more beer.

What?

Drinking a beer is the safest

thing I've done with you yet.

You're 16.

No more. Okay?

Sh*t, it's my mom.

Don't mention anything

about, uh...

Anything.

Hey.

Hey.

I tried calling your old

number, but no one answered.

Then you texted me

this new number.

Yeah, it was...

It was time for a new phone.

Have you been drinking?

Drinking heavily was

something new for Lucy.

She recently lost her mother,

and it hit her pretty hard.

I tried to reach out,

but she wouldn't have it.

I just hope she could get

on the other side of things.

One minute, one hour,

one day at a time.

It's a choice, mom.

I hope you're right.

Okay, you can do this.

Just go to bed.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too, mom.

How much trouble are you in?

A lot more than I want to be in.

Someone was murdered

and they think I did it.

Did you?

No.

Huh.

Then who did?

That's why we're here.

Yeah. No.

It's only called a fistula

if it... if it opens up to

the outside of your body.

Hang on a second.

I gotta call you back, Jake.

What's going on?

Okay, you know, I don't like

people in my space.

Okay? And I can't find my cat.

Have you seen patches?

Did you see a calico run out the

door when you opened the door?

C-could we do...

I-I'm happy to have you here.

But could we... could we

do this in the hallway?

We can talk in the hallway.

All right, just don't...

Please, don't touch anything.

Who's the... what...

Who's the girl?

Never you mind.

His daughter.

His daughter?

You didn't tell me

you had a daughter.

What's your name, sweetheart?

F*** off.

I need to know everything you do

about how this trick

came to you, Jimmy.

There's nothing to tell.

I mean, I just...

You know, even a blind squirrel

finds a nut

once in a while, right?

Try again.

I got a guy at the courthouse.

Okay?

He calls me up.

He says there's some cash

laying around, easy grab.

I call you. Beginning, middle, end.

Just like always.

You know goddamn well

that someone killed my buyers.

Hey... I don't know sh*t. And I

have everybody looking at me.

I don't know anything about this.

Now I'm looking at you.

Okay, what do you want from me?

You don't know anything?

No, I don't know anything about this.

I don't wanna know.

I stay here. You're

making me nervous, Jimmy.

I don't like you coming here.

That's why we use a phone.

Don't tell me you don't

f***ing know the buyers.

I don't know anything.

What do you want me to do?

I wanna f***ing meet 'em!

You want me to call them?

I wanna meet 'em!

It's a guy at the courthouse.

I wanna meet your f***ing contact.

Okay, fine...

The guy who gave you the f***ing job!

Fine, fine.

I wanna meet him now,

and I wanna meet him today.

Okay. Okay.

Not a problem.

Yeah.

You okay?

Jimmy Lincoln.

Great. Thanks.

What do they call those,

skinny jeans?

How old are you, little darling?

Sixteen, douchebag.

You know, age of consent

is 16 in Georgia.

I mean, not for me,

I'm just saying.

They're active at this age.

And when they use

language like that,

you really have to question some

of the parenting choices made.

All right, see the parking

garage up there?

That's where we want to go.

Just pull right in.

Nick!

Oh, my god!

Oh, god.

Let's go.

WIXP news. Top of the hour.

Still not much movement

being reported

in the Fulton county

armored car heist.

The money taken from the evidence

locker is yet to be recovered,

and no suspects have been named.

Hey, kid.

You land somewhere?

Listen to me, harp.

I killed a f***ing cop.

A detective. The guy was

waiting to kill me.

Jesus Christ.

You get a name?

Detective Dinardi.

Well, let me see

what I can dig up on him.

What the hell am I

in the middle of here?

I don't know,

but it's all over the TV.

The local news was reporting

that the money from the heist

was crucial evidence

in a case to indict a crew

of unnamed dirty cops.

But since Alejandro

conveniently stole it,

the da now has no case

and is forced

to drop the charges

against the officers.

...reporting live from

the Fulton county courthouse.

All I can do now is wait

for Harper to dig something up.

Listen, do I have cops

looking for me now, too?

I'll work on this.

Be smart. Stay low.

No, no.

No.

Marco...

Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on.

Hey, the bathroom's a mess.

No, it's not.

Yeah, the bathroom's a mess.

Can you clean it up?

That is clean.

Well, you gotta at least

do something with the bras.

What, you've never seen a bra before?

This is different.

Different how? Different

in that they're yours.

Oh, you're embarrassed.

I'm not embarrassed.

You know I'm not a virgin.

Oh, Cate, seriously?

Can I just take a shower?

I did it in mom's bed.

I was totally fine with it.

I mean, it was...

Eric Griffin?

What?

The guy, Eric Griffin?

You didn't sleep with him, Cate.

You were lonely, and you were

pissed, and I don't blame you.

But you didn't sleep with him.

How do you...

You didn't talk...

Did you talk to him?

Did you talk to him?

I liked him.

Well, you could've done better.

What?

You could've done better, Cate.

The guy was an a**hole.

You sold yourself short,

and you shouldn't, ever.

Oh, so now you're giving life advice?

You're a thief.

Can we just work on the bathroom right now?

No. No, no. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's hear it.

Enlighten me.

Okay. Blackjack.

If you can get the house

to agree to stand on a soft 17,

you can whittle their odds

down by .21 percent.

What? You should know how

to change a car tire.

Wouldn't hurt you

to learn the infield fly rule.

And don't ever wear suede.

Who intercepted the call?
