Shades of Gray

[GRUNTS]
[GROANING]
What do you think now?
I think you're making a big mistake.
Maybe, but this is what happens
when you poke around in
other people's business.
PETE: Come on, let's do this.
[GUN COCKS]
[MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY]
[MUTTERING]
Elliott.

I am so sorry. I
I totally lost track of time.
I see how it is.
Get a big new client and forget
about dinner with your boyfriend.
That's so sweet.
Thank you. Thank you. Mm.
And, no, I can totally go.
I just need to get
this contract done for him.
Mm.
You can't do it in the morning?

I could, but I [SIGHS]
I feel like that he's testing me.
Okay? He said depending
on how this goes,
he might have something
transformative for me next.
"Transformative," huh.
Hey.
Hi.

I mean, you can take a little break.
[LAUGHS]
You are trying to distract me.
And I like it.
So is that a yes or a yes?
Just a tiny, little, bitty break.
Everything has changed ♪
I like it this way ♪
Everything has changed ♪
I'd like for it to stay ♪
- Everything has changed
- [PHONE BUZZING]
Uh, is that, is that you or me?
- It's me. Don't worry about it.
- You sure?
You should probably check that.
For it to stay ♪
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
- Come on.
- [CHUCKLES]
Speaking of demanding new clients
- [PHONE CONTINUES BUZZING]
- It's okay, take it.
- Go ahead.
- Yeah.
[LAUGHS]

Hey, there, Ivy.

Wait, wait, wait, what?
Are you sure?
No, no, no, no. Don't do
anything until I get there.
I'll be on the first plane out.
Yeah, I, uh, I might know
someone who can help.
Um
All right, let me see what,
let me see what I can do.
What's wrong?
[PHONE BUZZING]
- Reenie, what's up?
- REENIE: Hey.
You still on the east coast?
Sure am. I did a little
camping in Virginia.
Headed north,
see where the night takes me.
REENIE: Any chance it could
take you to New Jersey?
What do you got?
Well, I've got Elliot here.
He's got a client that
could really use your help.
Yeah? Give me the details.
ELLIOT: Ivy Hale. Her son Matt
has gone missing. He's 23 years old.
He works at a tech investment
firm in New York City.
She said that he went out
to lunch and he never came back.
Left without his car,
left his cell phone on his desk.
Huh. How long ago?
Two days, so Ivy's really worried
something's happened to him.
And she's offering a $50,000 reward.
ELLIOT: Have you heard of "Ivy Bakes"?
Rings a bell.
Feel like I saw one last time
I was in Connecticut.
- That the place?
- ELLIOT: Yeah, one of.
It's a small chain.
What kind of work are you doing for her?
She's a single mom.
And she started this to make ends meet.
But business really took off,
and she thought she could
do it all by herself.
But she got behind on her paperwork.
And then IRS looked at her books.
So they're going after her
for tax evasion.
Anything else I should know about her?
You got to know she's pretty intense.
You know, she speaks her
mind and demands results.
I know the type.
I'm sitting right here,
Colter, thank you.
Look, she's a mother
worried sick about her son.
All right, can you talk to her
and see what you think?
I'm a few hours away.
I can be there first thing
in the morning.
- Great.
- Thank you.

You got quite a few of these places.
- They all look the same?
- IVY: No.
This one is unique.
- This was my first.
- Ah.
Except for the logos
and the occasional fresh coat of paint,
I never changed a thing inside.
It's a reminder of where
I came from and
and what I had to do to get here.
Tell me about your son, Matt.
IVY: Best son a mother could hope for.
He graduated last year from Columbia.
- Magna cum laude.
- Mm.
And he works in analytics
downtown at Lambert-Fox Investments.
And when did you notice
that he went missing?
Thursday.
We were supposed to have dinner,
like we do every week.
That's our thing.
Make a little pasta, have a little wine,
catch up on the week.
But when he didn't show up,
I knew something was wrong.
And you didn't have any communication
with him before or after that?
No, I called. Nothing.
Next day I went to his office
and his manager said he just walked out
before lunch.
Matty would never
just walk out of his job.
He has my work ethic, I can assure you.
So I went to his apartment,
and he wasn't there.
But I am telling you
Matty would never just
disappear like this unless there
was something seriously wrong.
Casey, we're having a meeting.
Could you please just
bring those in the back?
- Oh, I'm sorry, I just
- Go on, off ya go.
Talking business.
Is this the guy that's gonna find Matty?
Yeah, I'm giving him the details.
Listen, before you go,
what can you tell me about Matt?
He's a good kid.
Just hoping nothing bad happened to him.
He's probably just taking a powder.
He's not taking a powder, Casey.
Sorry, I'm just trying to be positive.
Just saying, when I was his age
Yeah, well, Matt's not like that.
Don't you have a delivery to make?
Sorry about Casey.
He thinks he can run a business
but he can't even
make deliveries on time.
What are you gonna do?
You keep him around
for some reason, right?
- Yeah, he's my cousin.
- Oh.
After his dad passed away,
I gave him a job.
Family.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, what else can you tell me?
Uh, is there anyone new in his life?
[GROANS] Don't get me started. Yes.
He's seeing some woman.
I don't even know her name.
Is it possible that she had
something to do
with his disappearance?
I don't know, we fought about it.
I told him he could do better.
He should do better.
- Why is that?
- She's married.
Matty said she's getting
a divorce, but until she does,
well, she is still married in my book.
Yeah.
Elliott tells me that you are
really good at finding people,
that you're the best.
Is that true?
I'm very good at what I do.
Then I want you.
Matty deserves that.
And I will not take no for an answer.
Please f-find my son for me.
I'll do everything I can.
[TRAFFIC PASSING]
[CAR DOOR OPENS, CLATTERING]
It's Casey, right?
You don't seem too concerned about Matt.
I'm just staying out of
it like I was told to.
Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Ivy seems like she can be a
tough boss? [LAUGHS]
Yeah, you could say that.
- Hey, cares about her son, though.
- Precious Matty? Yeah.
[SCOFFS] Look, Matty's great.
But?
All right, the truth is
Ivy and Matty got in
a huge blowout fight last week.
What was that about?
He had enough.
Told her to back off
and let him live his life.
Mm.
What about this new girl he's seeing?
It's nothing.
He's finally getting
his first action with a lady
and Ivy's just freaking out.
You know, he was talking about some guys
from work he was buddying up with.
Talking about taking a trip somewhere.
Maybe they just decided to up and go.
Well, leaves work,
leaves his phone behind?
I would. She insists that he share
his location with her, and
it's been pissing him off.
He can't tell her to back off.
I mean, Ivy doesn't know
the meaning of that.
She treats him like he's
ten years old.
He's a frickin' grown man.
I think this is just
a "screw you" to Mommy.
Five gets you ten,
he's back in a couple days.
Well, maybe.
Look, I got to get this delivery out
or Ivy's gonna rip me a new one.
You don't mind, what I said?
Stay between us, huh?
- No problem.
- Good man.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Can I help you?
- Maybe.
Looking to talk to somebody
about Matt Hale, he's, uh
an analyst here, I believe.
[LAUGHS]
Well, what do you want to know?
Well, he's out missing, his mother
hired me to find him.
If I could take a look at his office,
it'd really make my day.
Well, you've already made mine.
[CHUCKLES]
Let me guess, six-three?
Perfect 42 tall, drop eight.
Six years at Nordstrom Rack, it
was, like, the worst job ever
I can't even imagine the worst
If I could just, you know,
take a quick peek?
I'll give you five minutes.
Come with me.
Stay close.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
So, um
what are you looking for, exactly?
Not entirely sure.
Anything that would show me
where he went after work.
His mother said that his cell phone
and his car keys were left here?
Yeah, I put them up front
for safekeeping.
- Huh.
- Mm-hmm.
Any mention of him skipping out
on work with some friends?
- Anything like that?
- No, doesn't sound like Matt.
- Not one to ditch work?
- Not really.
I mean, a lot of people
play with that whole,
like, "I'm working from home" stuff,
but not him.
Can't think of him ever calling in sick
or anything.
Although, he did take
really long lunch breaks.
- He'd do that with co-workers?
- No.
He always went by himself.
[QUIETLY]: By himself
Take a look at his computer?
- Sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Such a great help.
- Oh, thanks.
I would imagine that you have
the administrative log-in
for this network, right?
- I do.
- Can I get that from you?
Okay. You'll help me out with it?
- Yeah, yeah, scoot.
- Great.
There you go.
Check this guy's search history
- to try to find him.
- Mm-hmm.
Um
- You recognize her?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I've seen her
once or twice before with Matt.
Once or twice, but you remember her?
Must've left quite an impression.
Mm-hmm.
The ring on her finger did.
I got the vibe that the two of them,
they were up to something naughty.
Like an affair?
Happens all the time, right?
It can.
Looks like a studio space, doesn't it?
Maybe she was an artist.
Now that you mention it,
I did notice she had awful nails, too.
Randy, you busy?
Naw, man, I'm just trying
to tidy this place up
and figure out a system
for these damn cords.
Why does he have so many cords?
I'm sure Bobby will thank you later.
What you need? Talk to me.
Eh, looking for a missing guy.
Might've been seeing a married woman.
Lucy Anderhausen.
Oh, take it from me, bad move.
Been there, done that.
Can you run it for me?
Already did.
Okay, Lucy.
She's been married for two years.
Looks like she has a condo that
she lives in with her husband.
Uh, she's also an artist.
Might've had a work space.
Somewhere she and Matt could spend time
- away from the husband.
- Ooh.
So I'm lookin' for a lovey-love
shack, hidey-hole kind of thing.
Got it.
Okay, she's got a
month-to-month on a condo.
Oh, and looks like the husband's name
is not on the lease.
Scandalous.
Can you send me the address?
Coming at you.
All right. Thanks, Randy.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
[INTERCOM BUZZES TWICE]
Perfect timing!
Think that's me.
Six, yep, that's me.
- Thank you, buddy.
- No worries.
All right.
- TENANT: Hello?
- I got a mushroom Swiss for you.
Cool, thanks.
[LOCK BUZZES]
Lucy?
Are you there?
I'm looking for Matt Hale.
What
[WATER FLOWING]

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]
[MUFFLED PANTING]
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
COLTER: It's okay! It's okay!
You're okay! You're okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you, you're okay.
They took him.
They took Matt.
Everything's gonna be okay, just
tell me what happened
from the beginning.
Matt called.
He said he needed a ride,
- so I went to pick him up.
- And how did he seem?
Rattled.
Wouldn't tell me what was happening.
You came back here?
I was getting ready to take a bath
when someone knocked at the door.
Matt answered it, I heard him
talking to a woman.
- He let her in?
- Yeah, I go out to see what it is.
And this guy, he just
rushes in, tackles Matt.
And the woman, she puts a gun
to my face and ties me up.
She says that she would shoot me
if I even tried anything.
- You ever see her before?
- No.
They had accents, though.
Maybe Eastern European?
Did Matt seem like he knew them?
[SIGHS] No, I don't think so.
The woman held up a photo
on her phone and said
that Matt was the right guy.
They just, they took him and left.
"Right guy."
Maybe they were hired?
What would they want with Matt?
[SIGHS]
Maybe your husband
found out about your affair.
Then, uh, sent someone after him?
I don't think so.
Um [SNIFFLES]
My husband and I, we got
married too young, too quick.
We realized right away
that we'd made a mistake.
We're separated.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
Well, I think
you should call the police.
Tell 'em what happened.
I don't think I should.
When I picked up Matt,
he said that if anything
ever happened to him
to not call the police.
I don't know, he's just
always kind of been weird
about trusting cops.
Yeah.
When you picked Matt up,
was it from work?
- It that where you got him?
- No.
This hotel, um, he didn't have his cell.
He got some random person
to let him make a call,
but that is all that he said about it.
I'd like the name of that hotel.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Checking in?
- I was actually hoping
you could help me with something.
I'm looking for
someone who was staying here
three days ago.
Might've been meeting with someone.
You recognize him?
Never seen him.
- You sure?
- I'm sure.
And we don't just offer
information on guests to strangers.
Right.
Good policy. Well, thank you anyway.
Bye.
There's a guy asking
about Ivy Hale's kid.
Okay.
Where?


[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]

[MACHINES WHIRRING]
This is not the pool, is it?
I'm looking for the pool
Do you guys work here?
Do you have a pool? Is there a pool bar?
[SHOUTS]
[GRUNTING]
[YELLING]
[GRUNTING]
What do we got here, huh? We got Pete?
Nobody do anything stupid, all right?
Listen, I don't care
about your business.
I'm just looking for a guy.
Looked in the wrong place. Step back.
Step back! Arms in the air!
[SIGHS] Yeah.
I'm looking for Matt Hale.
Does he work for you guys?
You got no idea where you are, do you?
Uh, I'm starting to get the idea.
Ivy Hale hired me to find her son.
That's all I care about.
You're working for Ivy Hale?
Hales stepped in our business,
we're gonna push back.
What kind of business is that?
Well it ain't cupcakes, if
that's what you were thinking.
Starting to understand that.
Listen to me.
And I mean this. Whatever
grievances you have with Ivy,
I don't care. I don't give a damn.
All right?
I'm only interested in finding Matt.
We got to call the old man.
Oh, he's gonna be pissed.
He's gonna be pissed if we don't.
Yeah.
That's a good point.
- [PHONE UNLOCKS]
- [SIGHS]
[DIALING]
- [LINE RINGING]
- No moving.
PETE: Boss, we got a problem.
We were followed.
Okay.
Boss is on his way.
Come on, let's take him out back.
VARGAS: Come on. Let's go.
Move.
Let's go.
[TIRES SCREECHING]

[CAR DOORS CLOSE]
Colter Shaw, huh?
You are?
[CHUCKLES]
I don't mean any disrespect.
I'm not from around here.
Rick Lindo.
And you're business competitors
with Ivy?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm guessing
not in the baked goods business.
Oh, no, no.
I make the best scones
and the best
black and white cookies
in all of New Jersey.
So my guys tell me that
you think that I took Matt Hale?
I didn't say that.
I tracked him here.
"Tracked him"?
How?
Found out he was meeting someone.
- Guy's lying through his teeth.
- I'm not.
After he took the meeting here,
he was followed
and he was kidnapped.
Right, and you expect me to believe
that you took a job from this woman,
but you have no idea
what she really does?
I thought she was a businesswoman.
[LAUGHS]: Oh.
She's a businesswoman all right.
And a damn good one.
She gets a cut out of every
racket in east New Jersey.
And she's not just
greasing cookie trays.
Your boss has most of the politicians
right in her pocket.
She's not my boss.
Look, you say
you don't know what happened
to Matt, I believe you, okay?
I'll move on. We got no issue here.
[SIGHS]
Did he see anything?
Yeah, the back rooms, saw it all.
[SIGHS]
Well, now I have an issue.
Look, I don't know whether
or not I believe you,
but what I do know is
you've seen too much.
All right, just get rid of him.
VARGAS: Come on.

Come on.
This way.
You thinking about making a run for it?
I'm thinking about kicking your ass.
Why don't you put those guns
down and make this a fair fight?
That's funny.
Maybe next life
- we do that.
- Enough.
Let's just do the job.
COLTER: It's not necessary, you know.
I don't care about you guys,
I don't care about Ivy.
Only interested in Matt.
PETE: You think I give a rat's ass?
It's all the same.
You saying Matt's dirty, too?
He's a Hale, so yeah.
You say Matty's missing,
I say that's a good thing.
One less Hale walking
around in the world.
Matty's not a bad guy, he's different.
- Not like us.
- You know him?
Long time, good kid.
Not like his mother.
Shut up, Vargas.
Nobody cares.
Get on your knees.
No?
[GRUNTS]
[EXHALES]
Somebody took Matt.
He's in serious trouble.
And I can save him.
I just need to be given a chance.
[GRUNTS]
[GROANS] What do you think now?
I think you're making a big mistake.
Maybe, but this is what happens
when you poke around in
other people's business.
Come on, let's do this.
[GRUNTING]
Hey. Hey, hey!
Let him go!
Come on, shoot him!
- [GUNSHOT]
- Enough.
[PETE WHIMPERING]
[PANTING]
I told you I was gonna kick your ass.
Come on, smoke this jag-off.
[WHEEZING]
You were gonna do that,
you would've done it already.
Now
you want me to find Matt?
Come on, what are you
waiting for? Kill him.
Always hated that guy.
Thought you guys had a code.
Pete had no code, no honor.
He was a freakin' psycho
that got off on whacking people.
What about your boss?
Pete's been skimming
off the top for a while.
Lindo's been getting suspicious.
Pete won't be missed.
Garbage in, garbage out deal.
If he doesn't believe you?
Then I'll blame it on you.
It was nice knowing you.
COLTER: It was you, wasn't it?
Who Matt met at the hotel.
- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.
You and Matt are tight?
We were. Best friends growing up.
But his last name was Hale
and my old man worked
in Lindo's territory,
so when we got older, that was that.
So Matt's in the business, too?
No way, nah.
Not Matty.
He's some kind of numbers genius.
When he was, like, 12,
he made this computer program
to pick the point spreads.
Beat the book, like, 98% of the time.
Ivy beat his ass real bad for that.
Trust me, that was the last time
Matty ever did anything close to shady.
She wouldn't let him near the business.
So what were you meeting him about?
Think I spared you 'cause
I'm some good Samaritan?
Something strange is going down.
I don't know if you're onto it or not,
but three days ago I got
a text from a burner number.
Said it was Matt
asking to meet at the hotel.
I'm thinking maybe he's
getting into Ivy's business.
Or maybe there's something strange
going down I need to know about.
- Was there?
- Nah.
He didn't even send the text.
But he got the same text
from a burner number claiming to be me.
Well, whoever it was,
they wanted you two
- to be seen together.
- Had to be.
So when we realized
we were being messed with,
I told him to get
the hell out of the hotel
before Pete or someone else saw us.
Matt was taken by a couple of Europeans.
You think we got Euro trash rolling in
to start a war with us both?
Look, this is not
my area of expertise, at all,
but it seems to me
like someone wants to see
the Lindos and the Hales at odds.
[SIGHS]
You got to find Matty
before this all comes to a head.
If Ivy thinks we took him, it'll be bad.
Maybe you could ask around?
Sure, call this number
if you get in trouble.
Want to give me a ride?
Phone a friend.
Anybody puts us together,
we're both dead.
I hope you find Matty.
And remember
I don't know you.
I don't know what happened with Pete.
[ENGINE REVS]
[TIRES SQUEAL]
Those word search games are too easy.
Why don't you try something
more challenging?
Like a crossword?
What are you talking about?
You can barely read English.
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
Yes.
Understood.
[PHONE BEEPS OFF]
It's time for the next step.
[GRUNTS]
[PANTING, WHIMPERING]
[MUFFLED]: Mm, no. No, no. No, no.
[GRUNTING]
[METAL THUDS]
[MATTY PANTING]
[SHOUTING]
[SCREAMING]
[WHIMPERING]
MAN: Say cheese.
[GRUNTING]
Reenie, hey.
- We need to talk.
- Yeah, damn right we do.
I just got off the phone with Colter.
He said he almost got killed
because of this job.
- What? Is he okay?
- Yeah, I guess he just got
caught up with some rival mob family.
That's why we couldn't get ahold of him.
What the hell were you thinking?
- Reenie, I had no idea.
- Really?
Because I did some digging
on Ivy myself,
and she's not just
some old, poor business woman
who botched her tax returns.
No, I know. I just learned that myself.
She runs a crime syndicate, Elliot.
That is what I came down here
to tell you right now.
I checked in with my fed contacts
to see if they'd been
in contact with Matt
regarding the tax evasion.
- Yeah, what'd they say?
- Matt's clean.
But Ivy: data theft, crypto fraud,
blackmail.
They've been watching her for years.
And you had no idea?
No, I didn't. I would've told you.
And I would've never
put Colter in danger.
You have worked for
this same exact firm.
You know how this goes.
If a senior partner
puts you on a big
account, you don't just
veer off the path.
Look, for what it's worth,
the tax issue
I'm trying to help her sort out,
she claims she wants
everything aboveboard.
Good for her, I guess. I
I don't know how that's
gonna help her son right now.
- No.
- Explain to me
why did she call you about Matt?
Probably because I am the lawyer
who knows her the least.
I mean, right, I'm the only one
who wouldn't assume that this
was about something more
than her son going missing.
Okay.
Yeah. All right, come on.
Colter's waiting.
He needs us to bring him his truck.
Oh. Wait, no,
I don't want him to, like
- hit me or something.
- Well, he might.
Unless I do it first.
[LINE RINGING]
Hi, Colter. I
saw your missed calls.
It's been a hectic day.
Yeah, I bet.
I heard about your other career.
You did, huh?
Well, that's unfortunate.
Well, it depends
on where we go from here.
Cards up time.
About that time, yeah.
Well, if you're looking for me
- to apologize, it's not coming.
- I just need you
to be honest with me,
I'm trying to find your son.
- I need to do my job.
- Tried it your way.
Consider the job canceled.
Lindos reached out.
They have him.
It's gonna cost me,
but I'm gonna do what needs to be done.
The Lindos didn't take your son.
You're wrong.
They pulled out his tooth.
They-they sent me a picture
to confirm it was Matt's.
I worked too hard to protect him.
Keep him out of all this.
I am not gonna let them
do anything else to hurt him.
Listen to me, whoever took him
is trying to start a war
between you and your rivals.
All right? They're using Matt as bait.
Yeah, that somebody is the Lindos.
Now I'm gonna handle
this myself from here.
I appreciate you staying out of it.
And how are you gonna handle it?
I'm headed to the North End
subway station right now.
I'm gonna make the trade,
and then this will be done.
It won't be over.
Ivy, this is the beginning.
You're a good guy, Colter.
Matty would like you.
- [VEHICLE APPROACHING]
- Ivy? I
Colter, I am so sorry.
I didn't know any more
about Ivy than you did.
- And Elliott?
- He's her lawyer.
Hey, that's it.
- For a tax problem.
- So, what you don't know
can't hurt you. That sort of thing?
That's usually the best policy
in our line of work, yes.
Look, the firm brought him on
to clean her books,
help her, you know, move
onto the straight and narrow.
Yeah.
Hey. I'm sorry.
I'm really glad you're okay.
We don't have time for that right now.
This is about to be
an all-out mob war brewing
- if we don't find Matt.
- What?
What are you talking about?
Someone claiming to be
with the Lindo organization
just sent Ivy a ransom note.
She's meeting with them now.
They're gonna kill her.
And then, they're gonna kill Matt.
REENIE: Wait, you think
that whoever took Matt
is now trying to lure Ivy into a trap?
Making a power play.
You have no idea who?
[SIGHS]
You really think Ivy wanted to go legit?
That's what she said.
She said she wants to put
the tax issues behind her.
I think this was the first step.
So clean up the bakery books
and then fix all of her
illegitimate activity.
- That's that's the idea?
- ELLIOTT: Exactly.
She and the firm had some big plans.
And I'm the lawyer who could
legitimize her operation.
Look, guys, we, uh, we
need to call the police.
We don't have time for
the police right now, Elliott.
Who's setting up Ivy?
I'm gonna find out.

[LINE RINGING]
- Randy.
- RANDY: Yo.
COLTER: I'm on my way
to the North End subway station.
Yeah, I see you,
and I got the subway station grid up.
Uh, looks like it's under construction.
Something going down there?
Yeah, it's a drop.
It's money for our missing guy,
but I think it's a setup.
They just want to get Ivy alone.
That can't be good. How can I help?
Matt received a text message
about a meeting the day he went missing.
Probably from a burner phone.
Can you access it?
Give me a sec.
Got Matt's phone
Got the burner number
Putting them both
on the grid as we speak.
Okay, that same burner made a
call a couple hours ago, right?
Yep. I got it.
Exact same phone.
- What you thinking?
- I'm thinking the call
was made to the kidnappers
that they hired.
If someone picked up on the other end,
it would ping a tower
yeah.
All right. I see it. Got the location.
Looks like an abandoned machinery plant.
Been vacant for a few years.
I'm sending it now.
But it's miles away
from the subway station.
My guess is that's
where they're keeping Matt.
But you can't get to them both.
You can't be in two places at once.
No, I can't.
Colter?

IVY: Hello?
Hello?
Brought what you asked for.
Hello?
I didn't want it to end
like this, you know.
Casey?
This was you?
- Why?
- Come on, you said it yourself.
You're cleaning the books.
Want to make everything legit.
You're gonna leave me out in the cold.
You know I'm always gonna
take care of you.
Stop. I gave you loyalty,
years of my life.
Ready to do more.
Take the reigns someday.
And what did I get in return?
Breaking my balls
over cookie deliveries?
Yeah, you knew I wanted the business.
And I earned it.
But you always underestimated me.
This will be the last time that happens.
I wanted what's best for you.
I am sorry.
I should have appreciated you more.
We can work something out.
Don't lie to me.
You never respected me.
If my dad hadn't died,
we'd have run the business.
Control all of Jersey.
This should be mine.
I deserve it!
IVY: Listen.
Ivy Bakes is gonna be fully legitimate.
You can be a part of that.
It's a better life for you.
You think I want to bake cakes
and come up with cookie promotions
for the rest of my life?
No. That ain't me.
This is.
Now put the gun in the bag.
I said, "Put it in the bag."
Toss it off.
IVY: Take it, then.
Take the dirty businesses, do
whatever you want with them.
You can even kill me.
But let Matty go.
I can't do that.
It's kind of a package deal now
to get rid of you both.
But I can start with you.
[GROANS]
Hands up where I can see them.
Hey! [GRUNTS]
Hey! Wait right here.
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
[ELECTRICITY BUZZES]
You don't get it.
If I'm not back at a certain
location by midnight,
Matt's dead.
I already gave the order to kill him.
Not if my contact has
anything to do with it.
Listen to me, you made a mistake.
We can end this tonight.
We can end this tonight.
Don't do that.
You don't want to do that.
[ELECTRICITY BUZZING]
[SIGHS]
It's time.
VARGAS: Matty. You okay?
[PANTING] Vargas.
It's all good, buddy. I got you.
It's okay.
[RELIEVED SIGH]
What happened? Did you get Casey?
He's dead.
What about Matty? Where's my son?
He's okay. I got a text.
We got him. He's fine.
Thank you.
[EXHALES, SNIFFLES]
What about me?
- You gonna call the police?
- I don't know.
You got Matt involved in this.
He didn't deserve any of it.
You're right.
I tried to protect him from all this,
but I failed.
And that is why I was going aboveboard.
I'm trying to fix this.
How many chances does a parent
get to fix things, huh?
What's the number on that?
I don't know.
I hope until they get it right.
I would like one more chance.
Then you better get the hell out of here
before the cops show up.
They're gonna have questions,
it's gonna be a mess, just
Hey, you need anything,
all you got to do is call.
Maybe cupcakes?
That's me telling you I owe you a favor.
I I don't think I'm gonna
need a favor from you.
Well, everybody says that
until they do.

Well, this is nice and cozy.

What are the odds
she acquired this legally?
Oof, no idea.
- Spends the same.
- Yeah, I'm giving it to charity.
Up to you.

His firm's got a satellite

But he's gonna take me
to three escape rooms this
weekend to make it up.
- Hmm. Three?

I'm very good at them. You should come.
Sounds like hell.

Well, then, never mind.
You're not invited.
By the way, Elliott is very sorry
you got pulled into all that.
Honestly, he had no idea what
he was getting you into and
Is that right?
Come on, Colter.
You've never taken a job from a client

Yeah. It is what it is, I guess.
Trust me, I'm working for
this new client now, and
Oof, let me tell you,
he is running me ragged.
He's demanding and
he's not exactly honest.
He's got a lot of money.
Then why do it?
Because this is the job.
Yeah.
That's why I like
to keep things simple, you know?

Yeah, mm, there are a couple
of words that come to mind

Yeah. Fair enough.

You know me. Yeah, I know you,
