- Should I be?

Maybe.

Maybe you shouldn't.

- What's this?

- July 21st.

You think I'd forget

our six-year anniversary?

You said we weren't

going to spend any money.

Oh, my God!

You work so hard.

You worry about the bills,

you take care of Michael.

Let me worry about this.

It's beautiful.

Never seen anything more beautiful.

Happy birthday, Michael.

Mike, stop blowing the whistle.

How come it doesn't work?

Because it's a dog whistle,

people can't hear that high.

Two and three

and you and me can...

...four and five and...

...four and five and...

60 people...

David, you want the job,

you have to be able to make the crpes.

We have 60 people. Here's the recipe.

Oh, my God.

David, you want the job,

you have to be able to make the crpes.

We have 60 people. Here's the recipe.

The dog whistle.

Hey! I found something.

Go ahead.

- Could be a glitch.

- No, he signaled them with a dog whistle.

- Find another one.

- Why?

If it's a signal, I need another one

to compare it to.

I can't break his code without a pattern.

Look, you find another one,

I'll bring Michael in.

He's a rookie.

He's probably here

because of the fireworks.

- You stay here with her.

Got it, boss.

Can I help you, Officer?

You mind if I come in?

Do you want anything to drink?

Coffee, tea?

No, thanks.

Got a call about some noise

down at the docks.

- You hear it?

Every night this week.

Some kids are firing off

some bottle rockets!

You see their faces?

Yeah, I gave a description to

someone who came out a few days ago.

White, young...

- Couple of skateboarders.

What the...

What are you holding here?

Not much.

We just signed the lease.

We store for businesses.

Pens, paper, filing cabinets.

This is our second location.

We're still moving in.

Wouldn't mind taking a look around.

May I ask why?

Big place.

Cover our bases,

see if the kids found a way in.

- Sh*t!

Sir, I can assure you...

...this place is locked tighter

than a virgin at Communion.

Come on.

But if I see anything

I'll give you a call.

Listen, I don't mean to be rude.

I had some Chinese food and

my stomach's taking revenge.

If you wanna come back tomorrow,

I can call my boss.

That won't be necessary.

Just give us a call if you see them again.

Of course.

Nice try!

All right, take care.

Alek. Alek.

Chase, get the breaker.

Let me tell you something about survival.

Thirty years ago...

Falco's father owned a business

in a small town in Greece.

He was a good man.

Took care of people, bred loyalty.

No one would touch him.

Then one day this lowlife

raced into their house...

...steals a few valuables,

and torches the place.

Falco's father, mother, brother,

all burned to death.

Falco got out alive.

Lived in alleyways, picked pockets.

Eventually tracked down the scumbag

that killed the rest of the family...

...and cut his throat with a pocket knife.

Falco was 12 years old.

And I'm telling you this because I've never

met anyone with a pure survival instinct.

Never seen fear in Falco's eyes.

I don't think Falco felt it,

since that day as a child.

I hope you have

a better instinct for Michael's survival...

...than you do for yours.

- This is between you and me.

- You've taken him to hospitals...

...saved his life more than once

by balancing his blood sugar.

You know the danger of having

too much glucose in his body.

This is half a shot of insulin.

It will metabolize the sugar in his blood

for the next three hours.

And this...

...is a full shot that will kill him.

You son of a b*tch.

You have two minutes

before he goes into insulin shock.

Three before he's dead.

Tell me where the money is

and I'll give him a shot of glucose.

I told you about the tapes.

I told you about the dog whistle.

And I told you we have a time issue.

Okay.

Take him to dock five, dump his body.

There is a deposit box.

Kevin opened it three years ago.

- If he has another account...

- Where?

Trenton.

Dillon's Bank.

Plummer and Main, number 635.

An hour from here.

See how easy that was?

Don't leave him in there.

Someone has to watch his blood sugar.

You'll be gone for two hours.

If you gave him the wrong dose...

...he could be dead by then.

You should have thought of that sooner.

Rathe.

Someone needs to watch him.

If you bring him in,

I'll do whatever you want.

- You're not worth dying for.

- Are you sure?

I know you've been watching.

You have no idea what I can do.

- You better hope he finds something.

- Rathe, Rathe...

F***.

Five pints brandy, sugar,

two teaspoons.

Find Kym's pan...

- Grapes and cinnamon. Saut the mix.

- What's he saying?

Then put almonds...

Five beeps.

Five beeps.

Every fifth letter.

First and Penn, 6:00 p. M.

We can't take out

another mortgage...

Everything will be okay.

Anonymous hire. Cody project.

Need partner to execute.

Four million wired from Bromwell Bank.

Cody project satisfied.

Onto major take.

Forty million, drop to be scheduled.

Drop scheduled by Falco, February 17.

Okay, okay.

After drop, meet at Beckett Motel.

After drop, meet at Beckett Motel.

He stopped answering me.

- Open it.

- Kid?

Open it.

What is happening?

Hold his arm. Hold his arm.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Mommy?

Yeah.

I wanna go home.

Soon.

- Take a shower. I'll be back in 10 minutes.

- What about the camera?

There's no one here to watch.

You ready?

Yeah.

You don't look so good.

I feel great.

You try anything...

...and I'll cut your throat.

I'm okay.

- I'm okay.

- Get up.

No problem.

- Open the door.

- Shoot me.

You owe me.

Don't look.

Put him in the bathroom.

Hose down the hall.

Where are the tapes?

I fed you, I took care of Michael.

That deposit box wasn't there.

I had to make up something.

Beckett Motel.

That's where Kevin

was meeting Hader after the drop.

Hader gave us that location.

I was hoping he was lying.

It would've meant there was still

something for you to find on the tapes.

Kevin conned him, too.

The tapes are useless,

everything he encoded is a lie.

Falco suspected Kevin before the drop.

Had me look into it.

I thought he was clean.

This is my mistake, too.

You could let us go.

You could run.

When he met you,

Kevin said you were perfect.

The perfect wife, the perfect front.

Perfectly loyal.

He didn't deserve you.

Your wife.

Would she want you to do this?

She's not here.

My sister, her name's Megan,

she's Michael's godmother.

You know where she lives.

Take him to her, please.

Please.

One of our cleaners called.

Taylor tried to reach him.

- Did he get an account number?

Taylor got spooked.

He's in town,

trying to get the cash moved.

You can't save him,

but you can listen to his voice.

I'm excited to play with Java.

Well, your mom and I are discussing

getting a dog for your birthday.

No promises.

Where's Michael's

medical bracelet?

I threw it out.

We should update

his Medi-Bracelet.

God forbid someone doesn't see it
