S1 E15Unfinished Business

This detonator. If I'm around the corner, is this going to be in range?

Should be. I haven't worked out all the kinks yet. Sometimes the thing just goes off.

Whoa, whoa, wait! Hey! I thought you said this thing was safe!

Mostly, mostly safe. I was very specific. Sometimes the frequencies get messed up.

What frequencies, man, huh? I got these things in my pants.

Like a, you know, a garage door opener, car alarm.

[Nearby a car alarm goes off, causing Eliot to flinch]

What are the odds that Eliot's crotch will actually explode?

Dammit, Hardison!

ZZoe

There are wolves in the world. That's what Dad says. "Be careful, Zoe. There are wolves in the world."

He was not wrong.

ZZoe

Yeah?

(Zoe walks over to her father and touches his hair)

ZZoe

So the world's just like this, huh? Bad people do bad things and they always get away with it. Nobody stops them.

[After the con takes a bad turn]

Oh! They're probably gonna shoot Nate in the face!

Parker, I can hear you.

Sorry. Forgot about the... (Points to earbud)

LLeary

Oh, come on. These guys are the past. What do you think these guys clear in a year? Stealing cigarettes, selling drugs, a couple hundred thousand, all in?

(Eliot is hiding behind some crates and a bunch of mobsters come up behind him)

LLeary

And for that, the government hunts them down like dogs. People like me, we took billions from the banks. Billions. And what did the government do when they finally caught us? They wrote us a giant check and begged us to make it all better.

(After Sophie Shot Eliot while in character)

So, how did you do it?

Detonator, (holds up remote, reaches into his shirt and pulls out ketchup wrapper) ketchup.

Ah, the classics.

Oh, I love a good death scene!

LLeary

I was tricked. I was tricked! It wasn't—It wasn't me, you understand!

LBLt. Bonanno

Somebody tricked you into bringing a briefcase full of evidence of your own crime straight to the police? [Laughs] Come on, Mr. Leary. Nobody's that smart.

ZZoe

Thank you. There are wolves in the world. [Looks at the team] But sometimes they're the good guys I guess.

Still your last job?

Well, maybe…

Yeah?

I mean, you know, until I find a job I like enough, you know, to stay out of the bars.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

And then I'm out. I'm done.

Sure.

Yeah. 'Cause you're not a thief.

[Sophie posing as a producer meets with the guy they're trying to hook]

JRJed Rucker

What event are you here to produce?

[Sophie hesitates, Hardison hurriedly looks up local events, speaking in her earpiece]

On it. Tractor pull in Grand Island…a livestock show in Council Bluffs…white people doing other white people things…

[After they've been found out by their mark]

Look, you know what I can do? I can re-task a satellite. I can get a level-three NSA clearance. But I can't hack a hick.

You don't have to do this, you know. Nate's gonna come up with something.

I'm losing a fight, Sophie, I'm not diving on a grenade. I'll be all right.

Yeah, I know, I'm not talking physically.

I think my ego can handle it.

Look, you told me it's about control, about knowing that you're never going to be the victim. And that's what keeps you going, right?

You think I'm upset because I gotta let this guy kick my ass? I learned a long time ago that you can't control the violence. I can take the pain—that's what I do. What I need to control is not out there. [Puts his hand over his heart] It's in here. Always.

[During the fight with Eliot and Tank]

Get the doctor, Parker, now.

RRucker

No need, it'll be over in a couple of minutes.

You don't get it, do you? Eliot's not like other fighters! He doesn't play games! He fights to survive, that's his training. It takes all his control not to kill somebody! You've just made him more dangerous; you've taken the safety off the gun!

So what do we do now?

Well, I just sent Eddie to the hospital. So let's go steal us a hospital.
