[country music playing]
[radio channels changing]
["No Surprises" playing]
All right. See ya.
- You hungry? - You know I work in a restaurant, right?
Right. Yeah. Go get some takeout.
I haven't had food poisoning in a while so I'm probably overdue.
The customers love everything but the food. [exhales sharply]
That I believe. What's not to like?
[song ends]
Mmm.
[reggae music playing]
[exhales sharply]
- It's pretty good. - Mmm?
- Gonna watch with me? - [chuckles]
I don't know if you've ever heard of the LSAT
- but it's actually kind of hard. - [stammers]
You crushed the last two pre-tests. You can relax for 15 minutes.
- I'll watch the last five. [chuckles] - Yeah. Now you're talking.
Shit!
[Ethan gasps] Whoa.
[pants, exhales sharply]
[both panting]
Holy shit.
[breathes heavily] That's gotta be a flat.
Can't find a jack.
I think we're going to have to call Triple A.
Can I borrow your cell?
Already texting my dad.
This is how you want me to meet your father?
It's fine.
I smell like curly fries.
I like curly fries.
Hmm.
Just relax.
This is not what you think.
[Grady] Do you have any idea how dangerous Nicholas Bell is?
He's one of the most notorious mob lawyers in the country.
He was consigliere to the Campano organization.
Consigliere? What is this, The Godfather?
No, this is the most sophisticated organized crime syndicate
in North America. They've got more money than God
and none of the quaint charms of Vito Corleone.
I get it. They're dangerous.
You don't get it.
These are nameless, faceless, brutal men.
The evidence your husband provided put eight high-level members
of the organization behind bars, in addition to Nicholas Bell.
That's why he had to disappear.
Which he managed to do pretty successfully until The Shop made national news.
Why didn't Owen leave The Shop?
Why didn't he just quit when he realized what Avett was doing?
Might have been too late, or maybe Avett had something on him.
- He threatened me... - Avett?
- Over the phone. - [scoffs]
He said something about how Owen's history didn't line up.
Yeah. Owen would have had to try and fix things from the inside,
and when he couldn't--
Is that Owen's?
He sent it to me.
Owen kept track of everything that happened at The Shop.
Formal memos, emails. It's a log of what Avett was doing.
How Owen tried to fix it.
So why didn't Owen just go to the FBI and explain?
He would have been in danger as soon as the FBI took his prints.
Campanos have people everywhere. He couldn't take that risk. He had to run.
If these people find Bailey--
They're not gonna.
You don't know that. You have no idea where she is.
I got a dozen officers combing the streets.
- They're gonna find her. - What if they don't?
- You expect me to just sit here-- - You are in just as much danger as Bailey.
I cannot have you out there. So, yeah.
I want you to sit here and talk to me about what's gonna happen
when we bring her back in.
What's going to happen is we're leaving Austin.
- Going home. - Hannah, you're not listening.
There is no going home. Not anymore.
[breathing heavily]
This is crazy.
[exhales] Shit. [breathing heavily]
Hi.
[twin 1] Who are you?
Oh, my God.
I was just leaving.
Hey, wait, wait, wait. Wait.
And, boys, go to your room. Now.
Um. You should come inside. Please.
[line ringing]
A girl just went in the house. Could be her.
[Nicholas] On my way.
[line beeping]
[Nicholas sighs]
[car engine revs]
[Ethan] Mr. Bell?
None of that.
Please, call me Nicholas.
Nice to meet you. Ethan.
About time. Kate talks about you a lot.
Most of it's good.
Well, this wasn't exactly the way I wanted to meet you, sir.
Oh, I don't know. There are worse ways to meet.
You don't have to worry about me forgetting your name.
There is such a thing as studying too much.
Not if you're trying to get into a good law school.
Okay, smart-ass.
How about getting out of the car and letting us get to work?
[chuckles] Thanks for coming, Dad.
- Mm-hmm. - [Kate] Mmm.
Now don't scare him off, okay?
- [Nicholas] Who, me? - Dad.
How much do you know about WITSEC?
Witness Protection? Seems a little extreme, doesn't it?
See for yourself.
[Grady] These guys wear Brioni suits, join country clubs,
and tell their neighbors they work in securities.
That's how the new regime operates
quietly, efficiently, and without mercy.
[breathes heavily] Jesus.
[Grady] Yeah.
They send the same kind of messages guys like this have always sent.
[clicks tongue, inhales sharply] This is box 23 of 101, by the way.
Go through them all if you need more convincing.
No. Hmm. That's okay. Um, I got it.
I just-- [exhales sharply]
Was Owen-- [stammers] Ethan involved in all this?
Let's just say once you're in Nicholas Bell's orbit,
it's hard to keep the shit off your shoes.
[clattering]
- [Ethan] Need some help with that? - Nope.
All right. We're good.
[breathing heavily]
[exhales sharply]
So you, um-- you grew up in Midway?
Yeah. Just a little outside.
Well, my brother spent some time not too far from there.
Yeah? [grunts] Whereabouts?
Texas State Penitentiary.
Cops found a joint in his glove compartment.
[smacks lips] Was a petty drug charge but it wasn't his first so, uh...
[sighs] ...he was in for a long time.
And the thing that always got me was that he would have walked
with a halfway decent lawyer,
but we were dirt poor,
and the court-appointed moron slept his way through the trial.
Is that why you became a defense lawyer?
One of the reasons.
[chuckles] You like that car?
Wait till you drive it.
I'm a little rusty on stick. Not sure that's a good idea.
Are you serious about my daughter?
Yes, sir.
Well, good. I can live with you burning out my clutch.
[Andrea] How much did he tell you about them?
Not a lot.
What do you remember?
I-- I remember you... A little.
[sighs] Yeah, you, uh-- You loved our backyard.
[chuckles] You used to spend a lot of time here.
[stammers] I don't understand any of this.
[breathes heavily]
[sighs] Um.
Something happened a long time ago with your grandfather and your father.
[sighs] Your dad, he, uh-- he had to go.
He had to take you, and go.
Why?
It's, um-- [sighs] It's complicated.
Three days ago, my dad disappeared
and then I learned that he lied to me
about literally my whole life.
My name, my birthday. Everything.
So-- I appreciate the fact that you're not lying to me.
But could you please explain what's going on?
[sighs]
A lot of people talk about saving the world.
I say, start in your own backyard.
- [chuckles] - What?
Huh?
Don't tell me you're one of those rubes who think prosecutors are the good guys?
[strains] It's not really my area of expertise.
[Nicholas] Okay, well, it's mine. And let me tell you.
Public defenders' offices are underfunded and understaffed,
and it makes for a shitty defense for people who need it the most.
People who have nothing. People who grew up like you and I did.
You know that 60% of my clients are pro bono?
I'm not saying I'm a saint.
And, obviously,
I have some colorful clients who pay the bills...
[smacks tongue] ...but they deserve a fair trial too.
And you'll be surprised at how many of them are innocent.
Of what they've been charged at least.
[chuckles]
[Grady] Nicholas had a real hold on your husband.
Owen loved Kate.
And Nicholas was so damn charming, so worldly.
He was a poor kid, like Owen.
Picked himself up. Had everything Owen wanted.
Great family, great life.
- Did Owen go to work for him? - No.
But when Nicholas asked Owen for help, Owen obliged.
-"Help?" - When you defend people like this,
there's a line you don't cross if you want to stay out of jail.
You don't tell them how to evade the law.
You don't help them commit a crime.
And you most certainly don't relay orders from leadership behind bars
to family members on the outside.
- Nicholas crossed those lines. - Yeah.
And when he started passing messages for his clients,
he needed those messages to be protected.
Owen set up that encryption system for him.
Did he know what was in the messages?
No. No, Nicholas didn't want Owen exposed like that and Owen didn't want to know.
At least till Kate was killed.
Owen said that was a-- an accident.
It was a hit-and-run.
It was intentional?
It happened on a quiet street,
exactly one block from the park where Nicholas took Bailey every Friday.
Jesus.
Nicholas had just refused a big case for the organization.
They weren't happy with him.
They'd made some threats.
Of course, after Kate was killed,
the Campanos insisted they weren't responsible,
that it was most likely a competitor trying to mess with Nicholas's loyalty.
But it didn't matter to Owen.
Owen was convinced someone in that world had murdered Kate
to send Nicholas a message.
And Nicholas was to blame.
So it was my grandfather's fault?
He's why my mother was killed?
[Andrea] It was hard to say. [sighs]
I, uh, prefer not to think that but... [inhales deeply]
...your dad, he-- he got angry with your granddad and with himself.
He decided to make things right.
What do you mean?
He decided your grandfather's clients should pay.
How?
[Grady] Owen had access to everything.
Because it was his encryption system.
Yeah. So he took all the messages and turned them over to the feds.
[inhales sharply] It was enough to nail a few key players
and blow up a sizable chunk of their domestic oxy business.
Of course Nicholas knew more.
The feds tried to flip him, but...
he refused to cooperate.
He did six years instead of turning on that organization.
Which they appreciated.
But it took a huge toll on his family.
And as far as Nicholas is concerned, Owen is responsible for all of it.
And that kind of wound doesn't get smaller over time.
So you guys must love my dad?
I'm, uh, not going to lie, it was a dark time.
Your grandfather went to prison.
Your grandmother, she got sick.
We lost her a few years ago.
Charlie and I split right after.
[sighs] But, look, um, that-- that's not the whole story either.
We loved your dad. And you. And our family.
Things were really happy here.
Until they weren't.
[sighs]
Things change and things fall apart.
[inhales sharply] All the more reason to hold on to memories.
[scoffs]
What memories?
[Andrea sighs]
[sighs]
Pick a photo. I'll tell you the story.
[breathing shakily]
- [guard] How far out are you? - [Nicholas] About a half hour.
He's driving as fast as he can.
Let me know if she moves.
You got it.
[Grady] Hannah.
I know it sounds scary but we need to talk about WITSEC.
- Why? - Excuse me?
Why do we have to talk about it?
Because Nicholas Bell is a dangerous man. There's no telling what he'll do here.
And if the Campanos get ahold of you or Bailey--
Right. I get it.
But why do we have to talk about it?
Why aren't Bailey and Owen already in WITSEC?
And, based on what you're saying, shouldn't they have been put
in witness protection in the first place back when all this started?
They were supposed to be but...
things didn't go down the way Owen wanted.
What the fuck does that mean, Grady?
There was a leak.
The organization got ahold of their new identities.
We caught it before the relocation but Owen was done.
Disappeared on his own.
How'd you know where he was?
He needed some help over the years.
I guess he trusted me.
Why?
I don't know. You'll have to ask him that.
[door opens]
Bailey's phone's been off for over an hour.
The last known address is the hotel.
[Grady] And no word from any of our guys in the field?
- [colleague] Not yet. - Okay.
- How do I get an outside line? - Dial nine. Unless you want privacy.
- What do you think? - [clears throat]
Who you calling?
- Jules Nichols. - [Hannah] Hey, it's me.
Where are you?
Still in Austin. Bailey's missing.
[sighs] Shit.
Jules, I need you to find Bobby.
If anyone will know where Bailey's gone, it's him.
You don't have his number?
No. But I dropped Bailey at his house in Mill Valley a couple times.
Okay. Address.
822 Crescent Avenue.
[sighs] I'm on my way.
He doesn't look...
Dangerous?
[chuckles] Yeah.
What does dangerous look like?
Nothing's black-and-white with your grandfather.
Or with your father.
[sighs]
You don't hate him?
My dad?
[sighs] No one wanted things to happen the way they did.
[sighs]
And we felt that there were other choices your dad could've made
that we wanted him to make. But... [breathes shakily]
...we understood his anger and why he felt the only way
to keep you safe was to get you as far away from Nicholas as possible.
But, I mean... [stammers]
...you must have been upset when we just vanished?
Um... That's not exactly how it happened. [inhales deeply]
What do you mean?
You'd just lost your mom.
Couldn't let you lose your dad too.
Even though we didn't agree with his decision, ours was clear.
You helped him.
[inhales deeply] We helped you.
[Bailey sighs, sniffles]
[Nicholas] A suspicious death in custody?
Incredible. You are making my night.
[grunts]
Good news on a case.
A suspicious death is good news?
Can be in my line of work.
I didn't mean to sound like I was-- I was judging.
- I was just, uh-- - Judging?
Yeah.
I hear you wanna teach.
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I want to be a professor.
But teaching positions in applied mathematics aren't easy to come by.
Well, they must love you at UT.
Kate said that you placed in the Putnam Competition.
I had great professors.
Well, Kate's mother and I, we have, uh-- we have friends there.
We can certainly put in a good word for you.
That's-- That's very generous but I am--
I plan to try my luck a lot of places.
- You don't like UT? - No, I do.
- Best school in the greatest state. - Mm-hmm.
Why would you ever want to leave?
[chuckles, inhales deeply] It's a big world.
It is smaller than you think.
You will break her mother's heart if you talk her into leaving Texas.
I don't think I ever talked your daughter into anything she wasn't already set on.
Hmm.
Why are we taking streets?
There was traffic on the 360 loop. I thought this would be faster.
Clearly it's not. Let's pick up the pace.
[Hannah] Yeah, I don't understand.
If there was a leak before, why won't there be a leak this time?
- Because you'll be getting me. - Owen had you before.
I was junior, I couldn't protect him then.
But I'm in a different position now.
If I believe that, which I'm not sure I do...
how does this work?
We set you up with new social security cards,
housing, a stipend,
fake transcripts for Bailey, help you find a new occupation.
New occupation?
Yeah. You'll need to give up identifying jobs and hobbies,
things that might make it possible to track you down.
- And woodworking is-- - Wood turning.
Distinctive. So, that's out.
So is Bailey's theater stuff. And--
Bailey's theater stuff? It's her whole world.
And no contact with anyone.
We have to assume they'll be monitoring everyone you now know.
A single phone call or email could lead them right to you.
Okay.
Putting me aside...
You are asking a 16-year-old to give up everyone, everything she knows.
Everything she loves.
It's the last thing Owen would want.
[sighs]
If everything you're saying is true, he had a plan.
[breathes shakily]
I'm pretty sure he left because he wanted Bailey to be able to stay put.
Maybe.
Maybe. Maybe you're right.
Maybe that was his plan.
Maybe this isn't what he wanted.
But you fucked that all up when you came to Austin.
I didn't-- I-- [stammers]
Nobody knows who we are.
- W-We didn't-- - You went to The Never Dry.
Do you know how many cameras are on that bar?
If Nicholas doesn't already know who you are, he will soon.
Nicholas Bell wouldn't hurt his own granddaughter.
Maybe. But the men he worked for are ruthless.
There's no telling the kind of leverage they'd use to get Owen to turn himself in.
This can't be the best option.
Owen put me in a good position to negotiate with the FBI on his behalf.
So he can join you and Bailey once you're settled.
Once it's safe.
But you have to trust me here.
This is your only option.
I don't trust anyone.
[Kate] Five bites.
[young Bailey] What about one bite?
- [all laughs] - Oh,
I think we've got another lawyer in the family.
It's okay if she doesn't want the bananas. More for the banana monster.
- [chuckles] - [young Bailey] I want it.
- [Ethan] What? Really? - [all chuckle]
[Nicholas] Oh. Look at that,
- a lawyer and a charmer. - [chuckles]
Oh, this is just stuff from our wedding.
- I can fast-forward. - No. Please.
Sure.
[young Bailey speaks indistinctly]
[Hannah] So, if we do this, Bailey is gonna have to start over again.
[Grady] Not exactly.
Larry, bring in the thing.
At least now she knows. And she won't be starting from scratch.
[Hannah] What the--
Thanks, Grady. You picked up my untransportable sack full of cash.
That's so thoughtful of you.
- You broke into my fucking house. - [Grady] I'm sorry.
I didn't think it was a good look to have this under the bed
of a guy whose tech firm is under investigation for fraud.
The money is clean.
Owen must have squirreled it away over the years.
And honestly, you're lucky.
He prepared for this.
He didn't prepare me.
He didn't tell me anything.
Neither of you did.
That was for your safety and Bailey's.
How'd that work out?
He could've told me. He could've trusted me.
[inhales sharply]
Owen reached out just before he proposed.
That's the last time we talked.
He said he'd never been in love like that before.
Said you were a game-changer.
It had been ten years.
You can start to feel safe after ten years.
So when he asked me what I thought, I told him not to tell you anything.
[sighs]
Actually, I told him not to marry you at all.
Thanks for that.
He wasn't gonna listen. It's Owen.
You know how fierce he is about his people.
And he was in love.
But he did want to protect you from all this.
I told him the only way to do that was for you to have complete deniability.
That's why he didn't tell you.
He figured it was his burden to carry alone.
You both underestimated me. I could've handled this.
Yeah. I know that now.
And it's how I know you're going to do what you have to here.
To take care of that girl.
Grady, what you're asking me feels wrong.
Because it is.
[cell phone buzzing]
[sighs] It's your friend.
Hey, Jules.
Hey. Look, Bobby's got nothing. He says they haven't spoken, just texted.
- Do you believe him? - No, not really. But he's not talking.
Are you still there? Can you put him on the phone?
- Look, Han, I don't think that's-- - Jules, please.
[sighs]
Okay. All right. Give me a sec.
[doorbell rings]
[Bobby] I got it!
What?
[Hannah] Bobby. Bobby, are you there? Please, it's important.
[sighs] Hey, Hannah.
I need to know where she is.
Look, I-- I just talked to Jules.
I know, Bobby. But she's in danger.
What do you mean?
It's complicated.
You need to believe me.
I'd do anything to keep her safe. I know you would too.
Please, Bobby. We don't have a lot of time.
O-- Okay. Look, um, she thought that maybe this woman was her aunt.
She seemed kind of shook up.
We-- We looked it up on Google and there was an address.
- Andrea? - Yeah, that's right.
Thank you, Bobby.
- Andrea Reyes' house. - Yeah. I'm going. Stay here.
This is the Marshal's office. Request for local backup in Hyde Park,
home of Andrea Reyes, 4872 West 41st Street.
[Nicholas] How long?
[driver] GPS has us in Hyde Park in less than ten.
I can make it in seven.
[Kate] Love you, Dad.
Sunday night you'll come to dinner. Meet my wife, Meredith.
Sure. It's good to meet you, sir.
- Oh. Don't "sir" me. Makes me feel old. - [chuckles]
Be seeing you soon, Ethan.
[car starts]
[Nicholas] Did you see Arturo's brother?
[Ethan] Looks like one hell of a linebacker.
[Nicholas chuckles] That could be our season.
[Bailey] Huh. They really got along.
[Andrea] Yeah. Thick as thieves. Apparently from the night they met.
- Hey, babe. - [Kate] Hi, love.
- Your reception was at The Never Dry? - Where's the peanut? Oh!
[chuckles] My idea.
[sighs] Charlie's grandparents were married there.
- And his parents. - [Ethan] Wow.
I liked the tradition.
- [Ethan] Wow. Oh, yeah. - [guests laughing, chattering]
[breathes shakily, sighs]
I just--
I... [breathes shakily] ...can't believe that I never got to...
That I had a family. [sighs]
But... [breathes shakily]
You still have a family.
[breathes shakily]
[knocking]
[Hannah sighs]
[exhales sharply]
[Hannah] "Next of kin." Hmm.
Jules Nichols.
- [Hannah] Hey, it's me. - Did they find her?
[sighs] Not yet. I-- I can't.
But do you still have the will on you? Owen's will?
Yeah, why?
Was just wondering who's listed as, uh, Bailey's guardian?
Okay, um. [sighs] Give me a sec. Let me pull over.
All right. All right. I've got it. Okay. Let me see.
Well, Hannah, it's you.
You're listed as her guardian in the event of Owen's death
or his inability to fulfill parental responsibilities.
Anyone else? Besides me?
Y-- Um, yes. Yeah.
Uh. If you're incapable, it-- it-- it's a Charles Smith.
[stammers] Um, a Charles Smith and an Andrea Reyes.
Hannah, what is going on?
- Is there something you're not telling me? - [door opens]
Ms. Hall, Grady's on the phone. He said it was urgent.
Jules, I gotta go.
- Grady. - [Grady] We got her.
We're getting in the car now. We'll head right back to the station.
[breathes shakily] Thank God. Can I talk to her?
Yeah, quickly.
Hi.
Bailey. You're okay?
[Bailey] I'm fine. I'm so sorry.
My phone died. I-- I should've told you.
- [breathes shakily] - [Hannah] It's okay.
Hannah, she's my aunt.
Andrea's my aunt.
I know. I understand. I'm not mad.
But... I have to do something, Bailey.
Don't say anything.
I just-- I need you to trust me. Okay?
Do you trust me, Bailey?
Yeah, I do.
[cries]
Okay, good.
Get back here safe. And be nice to Grady.
[Bailey sighs]
[sighs]
Yeah.
I need you to call our friend in the Marshal's office.
Ms. Hall, can I help you?
Going to the restroom.
["In a Black Out" playing]
Hey.
[song continues]
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
You need to take me to him.
What?
[inhales sharply] I need to talk to your father.
