S1 E15Unfinished Business

[Flashback]

LLieutenant

Did I send for you, supply?

I killed that sniper. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

LLieutenant

McClusky fired the shot. It's in my report.

It's a lie.

LLieutenant

You're calling me a liar?

Yes, sir, I am.

LLieutenant

This war is almost over. Think about what you're doing right now.

Don't you tell me to think, lieutenant. My thinking saved your life! But I won't get the credit because I'm a negro, isn't that right?

LLieutenant

That's right. It's not the policy of the United States Government to hand out medals to negroes. Therefore, private McClusky fired the shot that killed the sniper, making him, and not you, a candidate for the bronze star. That's just the way it is, Charlie. You don't have to like it, but that's the way it is.

And... that was the last time I saw Dorothy Ross.

Parker But the painting, you gave it back to her. I mean, you could have been set for life.

Yeah, seems like I read that in a letter before. Didn't work too well for him.

Parker Hmm.

Maybe the painting's a curse.

Parker So you didn't come back to town for the painting.

I got to France on my own. I even walked the same road as Van Gogh did in the painting. I've had a remarkable life. I came back to this town to see her. And I was just a couple of years too late.

Parker Where do you think the painting is now?

Does it matter?

I think The Boston Museum of Art is an excellent choice, Charlie.

Hmm. H-how did you figure it out?

You told me. See, once I knew that Dorothy had the painting, the key to finding it was understanding her.

DSDorothy's Daughter

My mom played the Wurlitzer at the Roller Palace for 50 years. And anytime someone would try to tear it down, she would fight them tooth and nail.

Now, she was loyal. Loyal to this town, loyal to you. She made you a promise. She said that she would keep the Van Gogh safe, and that's exactly what she did...

[Flashback]

(people dropping money into a tip jar as Dorothy plays the organ)"

Watching over it every time she played the organ.

(Dorothy smiles at the Wurlitzer’s pipes. In the bank vault, Dorothy puts money into a safe deposit box)

She saved her tips all those years, hoping.

In case I came back.

Yeah.

You know... When I came back here and found out she was gone, I felt cheated. I-I didn't know how she would have felt about seeing me. Now I-I guess I do.

You can't possibly know that's the real story.

No, but it's the best story.

Parker Take care of yourself Charlie.

That's one thing I've always done...There's one thing I want to tell you. [He glances from Parker to Hardison then back] Don't waste time.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Oh, I'm starving. All that talk about tubers.

Let's, uh, let's get dinner.

Huh?

Oh, no, no. I'm not, no. I'm not saying, like, dinner like that, no. Just like a bite to eat, kind of...

As colleagues.

As friends.

Oh. A civilized working meal.

Yeah, as friends.

Oh. You said that part.

Later

Oh, damn. (sits up) Oh.

Nate. (hands him his shirt) We were being spontaneous, living in the moment.

Yeah. Yeah, it was, uh, it was a mistake, yeah.

It's called… The San Lorenzo.

Is that what they call it? (puts on shirt) Um, Sophie, I, um…

Mm?

I'm sorry. But you know that I don't want a relationship. I really, I-I-I--

Of course you don't. Well, the work's the most important thing. (moves to sit at the counter) I mean, the team's perfect the way it is. Why change?

E-exactly what I was gonna say. Yeah.

Hey, we're adults. We enjoy each other's company. You know, we don't have to turn this into a big thing. We're friends with... extras. There's nothing wrong with that... What'd I say?

Hmm? [The team walks in]

(Jana and her men get out of the SUV and approach Hardison, who is dancing with a set of earphones in as he hums to himself, until he sees Jana and the goons)

Oh. Hey. Could use a little help, neighbor. Had myself a snafu. Or you could just stand there like bougie city folk, coldhearted, unhelpful.

(Jana motions to one of the goons and gestures toward the nearest bale of hay)

JJana

Get this. (approaches Hardison) You don't look like a farmer.

Excuse you? Miss city and sadiddy? Ain't you heard of the urban farming revolution? See, look here. Big business calls food a hormone sandwich with a side of pesticide fries. I'm trying to bring it back. Real chicken. You probably eat just an old butter nugget.

She gotcha, man, you got a little blood right there.

Yeah, she got a right hook like a freight train.

She put her hips into it?

I'm pretty sure she did.

That's my girl!

Stop. Don't teach people how to do that!

Isn't anyone mad at Sophie? Hardison, she punched you in the face.

Takes a real man to take one for the team.

Hey, whatever you need to keep telling yourself.

Burn room?

It's usually a vault within a vault. The walls are lined with thermite. All he has to do is press a button and flame on. All his dirty secrets burn away.

Everything burns? I want one.

[after stealing an ID] And what? Say something now.

[sarcastically] Yeah, one good lift in three years. Awesome!

(Trevor gets a text message on his phone)

You're too young for a phone.

TTrevor

It's for if I get abducted.

Yeah, whatever. Okay, so, one of the things that makes, uh, Verd Agra so special is its security. (looks at posted floorplan) Yeah. Right now, we're in the public area. But all the exciting stuff happens on the top floor. Now, you see how it looks like a bull's-eye? You have green, yellow, and red security zones. Red for top secret.

So, teacher Mike, what if I want to go to the red zone?

Well, no, teacher Jen. No can do. We-we-we only have visitor badges.

But, teacher Mike, what if I take someone else's--

Find...

--find someone else's badge?

Well, that's the tricky part. Teacher Jen, you see, the badges are also trackers. Yes, it's like Lojack for people. So, what happens is, is that the scary security system will know wherever you go. Yep.

So, we have to fool the security system to get the banana?

Potato.

Whatever.
