Nate?
NNate
Hmm?
You can't just make somebody do what you want them to do.
Whoa.
[Everybody chuckles]
That's what we do. I mean…
[pets Maggie's head] You're adorable.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
NNate
Maggie, it won't fall out. Just pretend it's not there.
Yeah, just forget my ex-Husband's voice in my head, telling me what he thinks I should do. I'm in therapy to solve this problem.
So nobody else finds it annoying when you nag them in the middle of these things?
Why don't I run this one, Nate?
NNate
Yeah.
NNate
I don't nag. You know, I just have, you know, a clear big-picture viewpoint.
Actually, you know what? We did kind of like the way Sophie ran the last one.
Yeah. Yeah. Up until the point where she got us caught, but other than that, it was great.
[As they begin to pull a con on Director Lloyd]
[To Maggie] Okay, why don't you run up to him. Be just a little bit out of breath. It changes the speech rhythms, makes it harder to detect a lie.
You see? Like that right there. It's informative.
You learn, and you con.
Oh. Well, looky here. Dr. Ernst Volk, University of Berlin, dead. Dr. Schliemann, London Museum, dead. Oh. Oh, and also the three guys that actually discovered the tomb. Eliot, what does that say?
It says "dead".
D-E-D, dead, baby.
ENEliot and Nate
D-E-A-D!
I... I know how to... I was throwing a little style in it, just a little bit. A little style. I know how to spell "dead," damn it! I can steal a bank, I can spell "dead"!
You need something?
I was just trying to make myself useful.
Yeah, well, last time you tried that, we had to blow up the office.
That's not fair.
I was just getting used to it.
What? Having an office?
Being part of a team.
Look, I didn't mean, you know, it wasn't supposed to go down like that.
What's going on?
Sophie here was just trying to apologize.
No, I wasn't.
She tried that with me earlier. She kind of sucks at it.
A little bit.
Oh, did she give you the speech about how we're thieves and about how this is what thieves do and if we were in her shoes, we'd have done the same thing?
No, I think she was just getting to that part. [Pauses] You apologized to him first, huh? Why am I last?
I wasn't apologizing. I...
That's the problem.
I just wanted to see if w-we… we were all okay with each other.
Okay. There it is.
I forgive you.
Apology accepted.
Yeah.
No, I wasn't— unh-unh, you, I didn't...
Eliot Spencer?
[Eliot walks behind Geary and Sterling, pausing to listen for a moment as they walk away from him]
GGeary
Eliot Spencer, wanted in five countries, including Myanmar, which is offering a half-million-dollar bounty on his head.
Bringing Spencer to justice and getting paid for it? It's icing on the cake.
Parker?
GGeary
Parker. Wanted in nine countries, including Brazil and Yemen.
Yeah, tough choice. I'll have to flip a coin.
[Parker is working in the gift shop of the lobby, watching them walk by]
How about Sophie Devereaux?
GGeary
England, France, Spain, Luxembourg--Europe, basically.
France. Wonderful shopping, horrifying prisons.
[they walk past Sophie, who stifles a laugh]
Alec Hardison
GGeary
Well, he better not show his face in Iceland.
Perfect. I'll drop him off on my way to France.
Well, well, well. What the hell are you doing here?
NNate
Well, I bought a ticket. It's open to the public.
I don't think--
Of course. Enjoy yourself.
NNate
[to Sterling] You heard him.
Conspiracy to commit robbery is what, five years? Catching him in the act, 20.
Look at this! Directly under the Davids. Out of the sight lines of the cameras. They're gonna drill right up and through the display base.
GGeary
Who? Who?
Whoever's hiding in that sarcophagus. Come on.
[Geary and Sterling pry open the sarcophagus to reveal a mummy that falls to the floor, leaving a cloud of dust]
LLloyd
That's a mummy.
Gotcha, Nate.
NNate
Yes, that was the whole point.
SSecurity
Power's back up in about 15 seconds.
What do you mean?
NNate
You know, all that chasing me around. 'Don't let Nate Ford near the two Davids.' 'How is Nate Ford gonna get the two Davids?' I wasn't the mastermind on this one, Sterling. I'm the bait. Three, two, one.
[gates open and lights come up revealing that all the paintings have been stolen from the walls. Everyone looks around, stunned]
LLloyd
We need to call the police.
NNate
Yes, he's right. We really should call the police.
No, not the police.
LLloyd
What do you mean?
No, I’m responsible! All the paintings in this room, they were my responsibility. No, they were all loaned to me...
Oh, well done.
NNate
Every single masterpiece in this room is insured by IYS. That's a $150 million payout. Now, what do you think your board of directors are gonna do when they realize that you've lost the company $150 million?
[pulls out a gun] Where are they?
Clear the room!
NNate
Are you here to kill me, Ian?
[Ian cocks the gun]
NNate
Hmm. Here's how it's gonna go, Sterling.
I'm all ears.
No, you talk to me, not to him. You talk to me.
NNate
Every single painting will be returned to IYS the moment Ian Blackpoole is stripped of his position and all his assets in the company. Also, his policy of denying every claim, that ends.
Extortion?
NNate
I prefer to think of it as oversight.
[after realizing that Nate's actions will cost him everything, Blackpoole tries to hold him at gunpoint]
IYS is my company!
NNate
[quoting Blackpoole] "You can't let personal feelings affect policy! You have a responsibility to shareholders. No exceptions." [Snatches the gun away] I have lost my only son. Do you really think you scare me?
[Punches Blackpoole] Screw therapy! That felt really good.
Of course, you know your entire plan depended on me being a self-serving, utter bastard.
NNate
[smirks] Yeah, that's a stretch.
