We’ve got it, we can take care of everybody.
I get half, right?
No, you don’t get half!
Yes I do, I get half!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
NNate
Anybody who wants to walk away can do it right now.
One more.
Maybe two.
I bought a plant.
Nice. Team spirit.
What does it do?
I can’t believe you gave all your money away. You didn’t buy yourself anything.
NNate
Oh, I bought a car.
Probably a station wagon.
NNate
An electric car.
Of course.
How sweet. Do you have to wind it up?
NNate
Uh, just trying to be responsible.
Responsible? You know it sucks being the good guys, right?
NNate
You haven’t figured it out yet, have you? Just cause you’re the good guys now, doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun along the way!
[Nate gets into a red Tesla Roadster. The team watches him pull out, shaking their heads]
Woo hoo.
Oh boy, midlife crisis.
Absolutely.
Definitely midlife.
Totally midlife crisis.
You called him?
WWillie
We need him.
Yeah, no, we don't.
I forgot how much I like these Southern welcomes.
Eight years, no phone calls, no letters, you don't earn a homecoming parade.
How's your husband, Aimee?
Gone. Seems I have a weakness for men with one foot out the door.
NNate
So when you said you knew the family, you meant you...knew the family, huh? Please tell me you weren't engaged to her.
No. M-may have given her a promise ring, or...
NNate
A what?
So that…
NNate
No, never mind. Well, there's no way we're gonna do this if I have to worry about you being stupid because you're too involved with...
I'm not involved. I'm--I want to help Willie. Did you hear the guy's story? Scout's honor.
NNate
Wrong hand.
I think I have a fever. Can I be excused from this one?
Oh. Come here. Let me feel your head.
NNate
No, don't -- don't feel her. Why do you--what--what's the deal? W-what we--
I once saw a horse kill a clown. I just really don't like horses.
[Flashback to Parker's childhood, where we see a man dressed as a horse beat up a clown]
Oh-okay, hi, yes. Everybody, y'all want to take over the briefings? Okay, I-I go to a lot of trouble to make these things interesting, have a little something visual for the visual learners and the auditory learners, and y'all, i-it's just interruption--
Bob, this is Alan Foss the investor from New York.
NNate
Oh, yeah, the one whose, uh, stable burned down, right? You're the guy who had the stable burn down, all those horses are--? Yeah, well, I know you're new around here and everything, so why don't I just give you a little tip? Don't let your stable burn down, there, boss. Why don't we play some cards?
Why are you playing poker with my client, Nate?
NNate
Alan Foss is your client. Huh. The fire, you're investigating the stable fire for IYS, you got my old job.
Actually, I have your old office, very roomy. Allow me to rephrase. Why is an ex-insurance agent playing poker with the subject of an open insurance investigation?
NNate
Open investigation? Local cops think it was an accident.
Local cops don't have to write a check for $2 million. It's my job to make sure that doesn't--Uh huh. Oh, Nate, that's pathetic. This is another one of those complicated little games that you like to play. All right, so, you're hustling Foss, trying to prove arson or get him on fraud. Whatever, as long as the company doesn't have to write the check. You're trying to get your old job back.
NNate
Okay. You have it all figured out. I'll just back off from now on, hm?
Nah. It's too late for that. Tell you the truth, though. I'd kind of given up on Foss. I like the trainer for the fire, Willy Martin.
NNate
Willy Martin's an innocent man.
We're insurance men, Nate. We don't care about who's innocent and who's guilty. Just who pays.
Is it true Sterling spent three days in the trunk of a car waiting to catch someone?
NNate
No, no.
It was five.
What?
Look, I'm not saying that he's better than you were, but--
NNate
"Were"? Wh-I-I'm sorry.
Anything else so you need so you can wrap this up and go back to being a somewhat disappointing memory?
I thought you said you were fine with this.
I thought you said you were coming back in three weeks.
NNate
Oh, boy, this is perfect.
Electronic locks, electronic throttle, power steering, keyless entry...uh, you know what runs all that?
Computers?
Oh, yeah.
[Sterling's doors lock and the electronics go haywire. He sees Parker and Hardison in the van behind him and pulls out his cell phone]
Hello? Police? Listen, I'm at the racetrack. Yeah, I just passed a black van. I can't be sure, but I think I heard screaming from inside. And there is blood, like, all over the back of the doors. Sure, yeah, they could have had guns. Who knows? Yeah, a black van. Yeah, sure. I'll hold.
How did--he's like Nate. Evil Nate!
Right, but you convinced my dad that things were gonna be okay. Things have only gotten worse. Now, I-I appreciate you trying to help, but if you don't know what you're doing, just walk away. At least I know you're good at that.
[Aimee walks away around a corner, Eliot follows]
Can't let it go, can you? Can't let it be the past.
No, I was fine until the long-lost hero came back into town.
Your dad called me.
You could have said no.
When did I become the bad guy, huh? You-I-I left because you got married.
Oh, yeah, and the first 15 times you left?
I came back, all right? You're the one that moved on. So I don't even know why--
No phone calls, no letters -- nothing! Eliot, what kind of a person does that? What -- what reasonable justification could you have for just dropping off the planet, huh?
[Flashback to Eliot being dragged down a hallway by several armed guards demanding to know where the monkey is]
I was working.
Not good enough.
Go ahead. I know you're itching to say something.
I like Aimee. I do. I mean it. I like you both. I just--you know, I don't know what comes of chasing the past, you know, Eliot?
Yeah, well, Sophie, sweetie, I don't think you and Nate get to serve me that particular meal.
Ouch.
NNate
We need a horse that can run like a champion.
What about that horse from the other day? Uh, Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Kentucky Thunder.
That's what I said.
NNate
Oh, we steal an actual championship racehorse in order to fake another championship racehorse.
Yeah.
NNate
Ooh, I like it.
