Do you miss it?
mnh-mnh
No? Not even a little?
My acting talents are best served relieving people of their wallets. I really like it on this side of the stage. I... I love it. For the first time in my life, I'm exactly where I belong.

Did Eliot make it out?
[choking on blood] Age of the geek, brother.
Do you mind if I ask you one more question? Why are you lying to me?
I'm not.
See the three weeks you took over the theatre basement just doesn't make any sense. There are a dozen ways to get on that roof, until you consider the Shanghai Tunnels. See three weeks just doesn't make any sense if you want to get on the roof, but you know what makes sense? Breaking down an old foundation to get into the old Shanghai Tunnels. Do you want to know what I found at the end of the tunnels, huh? The roof's not the way in. The elevator shaft's the way in, isn't it?
Why would I lie? Why? I screwed up! I got them killed! I lost everything, the only thing I ever had! Why, why, why would I lie?
Well if I had to venture a guess, I would guess that you probably have realized That you're not in the hospital. How'd you figure it out?
Well, Hospitals - Take it from me. I've been in quite a few. They're loud places. Since I've been here, I haven't heard any announcements, no alarms, no "Ding!" Those files that, um, you read from earlier are supposed to be from Portland Police, but they all had Interpol coding. When you stand, you adjust your little jacket. You give it a tug. To hide the gun that ordinarily would be in your holster. You're not Portland or state police. FBI - They like to flash their badges. And besides, I've been in the, uh, Portland offices of the FBI. Like most Americans, you reach for your cellphone on average, every 94 seconds. But you - you stop yourself. Your head - you give a little tell, a little shake. You know, It's to remind yourself that your cellphone doesn't work here. And that leaves only one law-enforcement agency, in an understaffed, barely used office, in a building where cellphones don't work. I am in the provisional Interpol offices in the Highpoint Tower, Agent Casey.
That's why you moved to Portland. Could have picked anywhere else in the world, and you chose here.
It grows on you.
I've talked to a dozen people today.
I've seen Sophie Devereaux play a dozen people.... drunk.
What you were doing, back in the room. Where did you learn to act like that?
Oh. Sophie. She really helped me. She's directing now. She found her calling.
Well your ride to a secret prison has arrived. Any last requests?
Yes. The other reason I needed it to be you, was so that I could ask you this. Don't tell them I got the black book.
Transfer papers.
Send me to jail forever. Just don't tell them I got their names. You know, send me away for the break in. Say that the file wasn't on the hard-drive.
It's a list of all the sins and secret bank accounts of the most powerful men in the world.
Yes.
It would be open season for every grifter and thief out there. If I don't tell them, they'd be defenseless.
Yes. That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah. See you don't tell them, they won't see it coming. They broke the world James.
Do you boys want to know what I think? I don't know.
Yeah, he has that affect on people. Nathan, you and I are not the same. We don't believe in the same things.
There it is man. They Holy grail.
A thousand bad guys.
A lot of revenge in there, just waiting on a righteous man to take a swing.
Yeah. That man's not gonna be me. We're out. Done.
We?
Well... That depends on - On what you say next, of course. (Nate dims the lights)
What? Huh?
For five years I've been, I've been...
Drunk.
Lying.
You've been an ornery bastard.
Yeah, yeah. All that, all that. But you, you have always, always had my back. Now - be on my side?
[about the ring] Did you steal it?
No!
Because that would be more romantic, right, Parker?
I'll, uh. I'll steal the, um, First anniversary ring. Now can I get up?
No. You've got to say it.
What?
Say the thing.
What thing? Oh, The thing. Oh, uh, yeah. Will you marry me, Laura?
Yes. Yes.
So, the hard drive. Everything thing you need is right there.
You know what. I'm going to dump this on the dark net.
Every crew from around the world will want in with us.
Just think about it. Leverage International.
That sounds pretty good.
You know this was your crusade. Now this is our war.
Promise me, you'll keep them safe.
Till my dying day.
You know, Eliot, I'd say, call if you need anything, but you never, never need anything.
Yeah, I did. Thanks to you, I don't have to search anymore.
[to Hardison] You're the smartest man I know. Don't get cocky.
It's a little late for that.
So, you're really going?
How does that make you feel?
I think I'm okay with it. Yeah, I'm okay with it.
That's why we can go.
You do know that Laura is not my real name, don't you?
I do.
