NARRATOR: Previously on White CoIlar:
Found the ring. It's Peter.
NEAL: I saw your ring. What?
I know you got kate. A Iot of us have those rings.
HeIIo, Kate. We need to taIk about NeaI.
Neal stole a ?iece. This one is s?ecial.
It's a music box.
PETER: You have the right to remain siIent.
NEAL: I didn't do this. I was set u? by someone very cIose to you.
Now, I'm positive it's FowIer.
FowIer? My God, they tapped my phone.
Found this stuck on my home phone.
I'm not done with this investigation. Neither am I.
kate. KATE [ON PHONE]: 'ou can't trust anyone.
kate.
She wants this music box. There's something inside it.
It's holding some secret. I wanna see it.
I'm gonna need some time.
NEAL: Good weekend? PETER: Great.
New york won 4-3 in overtime. How was the Guggenheim?
ExceIlent. Saw a rumination on the physicaIity of space...
...and the nature of scuIpture.
Glad I missed it. Back at you.
JONES: David SulIivan is waiting for you in the conference room.
Perfect. What's wrong?
He's been caIIing aIl week about a mortgage-fraud case.
It's a pretty cut-and-dry foreclosure. I don't know what eIse we can do.
He brought his IittIe girI.
Aw, jeez. He's playing the sym?athy card.
Is it working? Yep.
Thanks.
Let's go taIk to him.
What, you need me for this? You're uncomfortable around the 6-year-oId.
I don't s?eak that Ianguage. I do?
Yeah, you do, Peter Pan. Come on.
Mr. SuIIivan.
And this must be.... DAVID: AIlison.
That's a 51 5 Form, not a coIoring book.
I'm sure the bureau wiIl get by without it. Encourage that artistic abiIity.
What's going on, Mr. SuIIivan?
The bank forecIoses on our home in a week.
Mr. SuIIivan's father recentIy passed. I'm sorry to hear that.
He Ieft him his home, and before his death, he took out a second mortgage on it.
He didn't take out a second mortgage. He would never do that.
Someone cheated us. I looked at your case, Mr. SuIIivan.
I'm sorry, but things Iike this ha?pen.
Was your father in debt? He wasn't in debt. I know him.
Do you? Last three years of his Iife, he was in an extended-care center.
You onIy visited four times. I toId you, I Iooked at your case.
Look...
...my dad was a hard man.
Near the end of his Iife, he wanted to know his granddaughter.
She got us past our differences. He wanted to give her a home to grow up in.
That's how I know my father wouldn't take out a second mortgage to pIay bIackjack.
You're our Iast chance.
ALLISON: That's you.
[SIGHS]
We'II Iook into it. No promises.
NEAL: It's pretty cut and dry.
Bank has paperwork signed and notarized.
I see why you didn't wanna take this on.
Maybe I'm gIad I changed my mind. Find something?
Tried to calI the N.Y.P.D. detective SulIivan spoke to originalIy.
Yeah? Turns out he's retired.
So? How many detectives you know...
...retire at 35? It's worth Iooking into.
Think we should ask him for coffee? I never say no to coffee.
Mr. Herrera, thanks for coming. I'm Agent Burke.
Who's this?
I'm with the FBI.
Um, no. He's with the FbI. Fed couIdn't afford those cufflinks.
For a retired detective, you don't seem out of practice.
You didn't answer my question.
He's my consuItant.
We're investigating the SulIivan case. RealIy? Why?
Mr. SuIIivan has a daughter, and Peter's a sucker for kids.
You know, you cIeared over 90 percent of your cases.
If you don't mind me asking, what made you turn in your resignation?
WeIl, I got tired of the grind.
I swung an early ?ension. l don't know if you're recording this conversation.
But l don't have anything to say. I appreciate the coffee.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Burned your career for this case.
You're gonna walk away?
Like l said, I got nothing to say. SulIivan's a dud.
Let it go. Thanks for the coffee.
You know what?
Let me leave a tip.
Oh, I got it. I insist.
It's the Ieast I can do.
That was cryptic.
Four doIlars and 76 cents. For three cu?s of coffee.
Pretty generous for a retired cop's saIary.
Very generous and very specific.
476. CouId be an area code. Not in America.
Badge number? I don't think so.
For a dud case, Herrera generated a Iot of paperwork.
Yeah, he did.
Wait. What do we got here?
476.
What is it? It's an lD number...
...for a federaI district judge.
They stamp these on the files for every case you preside over.
NEAL: "Judge MicheIIe CIark."
Do you know her? No.
Herrera said he was leaving a ti?.
Yeah. Maybe Her Honor's not so honorabIe.
One cop already Iost his job over this. You sure you wanna go down this road?
[PETER SIGHS]
Yeah, l do. AIl right.
Hey.
Find anything on Judge CIark?
As your legaI counseI, l advise you to peruse the foIIowing exhibits.
NEAL: Court orders. Search warrants.
This is everything FowIer used when he arrested me.
Check out the fine print. She was FowIer's go-to judge...
...whiIe he was investigating you.
What's her name doing on search warrants?
Peter and I are working a mortgage-fraud scam.
Warrants which, if they'd been reviewed...
...by an im?artiaI judge, may have been thrown out.
So Fowler's got a judge in his ?ocket.
That's handy. Peter's gonna Iove this.
Have l taught you nothing?
FowIer's got kate. If his pet judge is dirty...
...l can use it against him. You telI the suit, he fiIes a report...
...and FowIer sees you coming. Secrets are safer.
And when you say, "FowIer's got kate--" He does.
What does the suit think?
Your keeper and I actualIy agree on something.
What if she's working with Fowler? I need to taIk to her. Then l'Il know.
Do you trust your FBl buddy? Yeah, l trust him.
TiIl I can't. Vague, in a Zen kind of way.
Look, he met with kate. He must know how to get ahoId of her.
Do you trust him enough to deIiver a message?
PETER: Her Honor, Judge CIark.
How does this nice face get a detective to take an earIy pension?
She must have a Iot of puII. CIark deals ?rimariIy in probate law.
Her Iast case was-- The SulIivan house.
Look at these. Nine properties over the past two years...
...taken by various banks. She ?resided over aIl of them.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hey, hon. ELlZABETH: Hey.
How wouId you Iike to come home for Iunch?
I'd Iike that a Iot.
Good. I'm trying out a new caterer for an u?coming event.
I would love your opinion on the food. Oh, what's the menu?
WeIl, sam?lings of pâté, couscous, a Iot of fancy stuff.
You know how much I Iove stuff. And feeI free to bring NeaI.
Oh, that's why you're calIing. You wanna borrow him.
I wanna borrow his paIate, and yours as weIl.
My wife's inviting you to Iunch. Good thing is I get to come aIong too.
Stop ?laying with the buttons. I wanna get the map thing.
BIind spot. Got it.
I need to ask you about kate.
I toId you everything.
You didn't teII me how you contacted her. I'm a fed.
If l wanna find someone, I do. Can you get a message to her?
I can try. What do you wanna say?
TeII her l'm starting to wonder if the bottIe realIy did mean goodbye.
PETER: Hey, honey.
Hey, EIizabeth. Thanks for the invite.
Huh. Foie gras. Yeah, l have a Iot of it.
I want you guys to try this one first. Looks great.
Okay. l haven't had time to try them, but they Iook good.
PETER: Ugh.
Oh, yeah. DeIicious. Okay, that's why l wanted to invite NeaI.
Why? Because he's a good liar? No, because he appreciates fine cuisine.
Which this is not. No one couId Iie that weII.
[ELlZAbETH SNIFFS]
Ooh. Yeah, that does smeII bad. Thank God you guys tried it first.
Okay, this caterer's off my Iist.
Who was the other unfortunate guinea ?ig? No one.
Why are there two coffee cups? Oh, I made coffee for the cable guy.
It went out, so he came by to fix it. They got someone out here fast.
When did you caIl them?
They caIIed me. They accidentaIIy cut a ?ower Iine.
They were fixing the cabIe, so they sent someone. It was strange...
...but l asked the neighbors, and their cable went out as weII. Why?
What's wrong?
[DIALING]
WOMAN [ON RECORDlNG]: The number you have dialed is not in--
So where's the gaIa your new cIient's hosting?
It's at the Met. It's next week.
I love the Met. They have this fantastic Matisse I've aIways admired.
It's on the second fIoor, right near the fire exit.
Now? Now l am pissed off.
You sus?ected something the moment she mentioned the cable guy.
What aren't you teIIing me? Is it FowIer? I don't wanna taIk about it here.
And there couId be more inside? I'II take care of it.
You can't go through the normaI channeIs. OPR has too much reach inside the bureau.
What do you suggest?
I know a cIeaning guy. Does a great job on my place.
No way. Not him. Honey, we have to put a stop to this.
AIl right, caII your guy.
But l want someone I can trust watching him, in case he--
Whatever he does. In case he what?
He's odd. In a good way.
Who is this guy?
Mrs. Suit, I take it.
Honey, this is-- The cIeaner.
What, are you seIIing vacuums?
I do not take your assumption as an affront...
...but as vindication of my abiIity to bIend in.
So, what are you doing? PETER: He's taking care of our bug problem.
Is that a night-vision spotting scope? Oh, $50.
Russian military surpIus. Why do you have it?
Oh, the real question is, why don't you?
WeIl, in any case, we reaIly appreciate your heIp.
[kNOCk ON DOOR]
Hey, Jones. Hey.
Thanks for coming. Yeah.
AIl right, listen, that's him.
Make sure EIizabeth is safe. You got it.
NEAL: Satch.
Hey, Moz.
[BUG DETECTOR HUMMING]
CIean. Thanks, NeaI, for waIking Satch.
Yeah, anytime. So you sure he won't try anything?
Do you have any rare paintings or coins? No.
Then you'lI be okay.
MOZZIE: ls this Gorham siIverware? It's rather unique.
Maybe you shouId keep an eye on him. Yeah.
MOZZIE: Oh, a Baccarat vase.
I don't know what case you guys are working on, but wrap it up fast.
Come on, Satch. See you, buddy.
Think he'II be okay here?
ELlZABETH: Okay, l don't think he bugged the dog.
MOZZIE: Amateur.
I don't wanna stick around to find out. Me either.
Besides, you have some expIaining to do.
PETER: Fowler was trying to protect his judge for Operation Mentor.
Why didn't you teII me?
NEAL: I was getting to it. He knows I puIIed our detective's file.
He reaIizes you're on his traiI, he comes after you.
Us. Comes after us.
Maybe we can get to him first through Judge CIark.
This thing FowIer wants from you, the music box...
...better pIay one catchy tune. It's worth it.
Why are guys Iike you interested in antiques with a dangerous history?
Because they have a Iasting impact. Look at how they're affecting us.
UnbeIievabIe. We are about to go after a federaI judge.
It's worth it to take down FowIer.
[SIGHS]
Okay. We stop the judge from taking the SulIivan home...
...then we get her disrobed.
You know what l meant.
If we lean on her hard enough, she'II flip on FowIer.
You know what l meant.
That's not what I meant.
PRlCE: I got those fiIes you requested on Judge CIark.
PETER: Good job, Price. Get the crew together.
We are gonna pore over everything...
...discover any discre?ancies on every deed and forecIosure notice we've got...
...starting with the SuIlivan home. PRlCE: Okay.
PETER: What is it? Good to see you again, Agent Burke.
PETER: What are you doing here? I'm working on a project in New York.
Operation Mentor? I can't comment on that.
In fact, l wouId say you're not supposed to know it even exists.
You can pin this one on me. You Iike pinning things on me, right?
HUGHES: Agent Fowler.
Received your request this morning.
We'II set you up in one of our offices.
PETER: You're working out of here?
Oh, reIax, Burke. Just borrowing your phones for a littIe whiIe.
AIl right, everyone, take five. We'II re-convene Iater.
WOMAN: Thanks a Iot.
You got something? Maybe.
SulIivan's father, Michael, signed the originaI mortgage in November of 1 962.
This is his signature on the second mortgage...
...he sup?osedly took out.
"Su?posedIy"? Yeah.
There is a miId hesitation mark in the Ioop of the L.
It's a forgery.
You're sure? Forging a signature is aIl about confidence.
Here. Sign this.
How'd you do that?
WeIl, your hand is programmed to write Ietters a certain way.
You try to mimic someone eIse's, and your own styIe wiII creep in.
But turn the signature upside down, and it becomes nothing more than a drawing.
AIl you have to do is co?y the lines. Your preconceptions about Ietters go away.
You have a perfect signature. That's a neat trick. Don't copy mine again.
Never. You have copied my signature?
Let's focus on the crime at hand.
Hey, guys. What are you doing? You need something, FowIer?
I'm gonna get clearance from the bureau to talk to our judge.
You need clearance?
To talk to a federal judge? Yeah. And you're gonna stay here.
Last time you were in a judge's chamber, you jumped out the window.
Agent Peter Burke is here to see you.
Judge CIark. Thank you for taking the time to see me.
PIease have a seat. How can l hel? you?
I'm here investigating a foreclosure dispute fiIed by a Mr. David SuIIivan.
You were the judge overseeing SuIlivan's estate.
I'm sorry, I don't seem to recaII that case.
Maybe these wilI refresh your memory.
I thought this case was settled. It was, by you.
But we found some discrepancies in the signatures.
Discre?ancies? Forgeries.
Enough for me to reo?en the case. Good Iuck, Agent burke.
Handwriting analysis won't have enough weight to restart the investigation.
You got more than this? I've got you.
Nine suspicious foreclosures, and you're the common denominator.
What sort of salary does an FBI agent make?
Excuse me? I'm curious.
An agent of your stature, 140 a year at most?
Why do you ask? It's a shame you don't make enough...
...for the services you ?rovide:
for what you do, the risks you take. You deserve doubIe that.
What are you proposing? Nothing.
I'm simpIy suggesting that you shouId make a Iot more money...
...for the work that you're doing.
Or not doing, for that matter.
I think you deserve a bonus, Agent Burke.
What kind of bonus are we taIking? Quarter of a miIIion.
Does that interest you? It might.
Perha?s we should continue this conversation next week...
...somewhere less officiaI.
Perha?s we can.
Good Iuck on your case. I hope you don't run into a waII.
We'II be in touch. Okay.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hey. Miss anything good? She offered me a bribe.
NEAL: RealIy?
How much are you worth? Quarter miIIion.
That's it? Yeah.
If l'd known you were that chea?, I wouId've bribed you.
No amount of money wouId've been as satisfying as catching you the first time.
Or the second. No one likes a bragger.
We have ourseIves a dirty judge. I think we do.
I'II put in a request with Hughes to authorize a sting.
[PHONE RlNGING]
FowIer. CLARk [OVER PHONE]: lt's me.
What happened? Agent Burke came to see me Iike you said.
And? I offered him the money.
He say yes? He didn't say no.
Send me the tape. No.
What? That tape is my get-out-of-jail-free card.
I want the mortgage-fraud fiIes seaIed first.
I can't do that. Yes, you can.
You want Burke, seal my files.
They won't be processed tiII tomorrow. Then that's when you'lI get your tape.
Oh. I got it. Thank you.
AIl right. Whoa. OId investigation?
Uh.... More Iike Peter's surveiIlance ?hotos.
I used to work as an assistant manager at an art gaIIery.
There was a theft, and Peter was the Iead investigator.
You were a suspect? I was a witness.
But he wanted to know if I had a boyfriend.
More Iike add you to the Iist of corporate, government....
I mean, how charming.
He kept droning on about this Italian restaurant...
...but didn't have the courage to ask me out.
So l-- WeIl, I gave him a hint.
Misappropriating FBI resources to folIow a girl.
It's been known to happen.
The suit is sly. He's a bit of a bad boy.
Ahem. What's going on here?
Oh, we were just wrapping up for the night.
"We," huh? What are you, a team now? WiIl you be finishing up soon?
Oh, I'lI need a few more days.
The downstairs is cIear, but the upstairs is stiIl a potential minefieId.
So you're teIIing us that we shouIdn't sIeep in our own bedroom?
Do either of you taIk in your sleep?
No. He does.
PETER: Jones, drive him home. Oh, nice try, Suit. Nice try.
Haversham out.
Don't forget the pâté. MOZZIE: AIready packed.
He do anything suspicious? More amusing than anything eIse.
Thanks, Jones. Get some rest. Yeah.
ELlZABETH: Night. Good night.
So where are we gonna sIee? tonight?
Who says you can't cam? in New york City?
I owe you for this, EI. WeIl, you can start with dinner.
Saturday night? Italian? It's a date.
[kNOCk ON DOOR]
Ugh. It is like Grand Central in here.
Hughes. Come on in. HeIIo, Peter. Evening, EIizabeth.
HeIIo, Reese.
HUGHES: What, you're camping? PETER: Long story.
What's wrong?
I need to speak to Peter.
Of course. Yeah. PETER: Thanks, hon.
[SIGHS]
I'm not here in an official capacity. I'm here as your friend.
OPR has launched an investigation into you.
Why? Did you take a bribe from a judge?
[SIGHS]
I spoke with Judge CIark. Did she offer you money?
Yes. Did you say no?
I went to her office, toId her about our investigation...
...and she responded with a bribe. I wanted to pIay it out, see where it led.
You'd have done the same thing.
Maybe.
OPR's got you on videotape. FowIer's presenting it tomorrow morning.
I can't protect you, Peter.
[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]
This is serious, isn't it?
Yeah.
Hughes couId Iose his job for what he just told me.
This guy, FowIer, he's not gonna stop? No.
I'II fix it.
How? He's got me on ta?e.
Honey, I....
I've gotta go. Don't apoIogize.
NEAL: Last clue I had led me to SeviIIe, and then nothing.
MOZZIE: Has your FederaIe contacted kate? NEAL: No, nothing yet.
Or maybe we have something.
No name. Return address is a P.O. Box.
It's a chess move. Could it be from kate? She doesn't Iike chess.
Interesting. They o?en with black. UnusuaI.
SymbolicaIIy making you virtuous white.
Who do you think it is? I don't know.
[kNOCk ON DOOR]
EIizabeth. Um, it's Peter. He needs your heIp.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
What are you doing here? Catching up on work.
You heard about the OPR investigation.
Yeah, welI, it might've gotten around. With aIl that's going on...
...l figured you couId use extra hands. Thanks, Jones.
Just gonna make a fresh pot. Let me help you out.
Thanks.
We might wanna put on more than one.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
WOMAN: AIl right.
You want us to break into a judge's office and steaI a videotape?
Yes. Do you have a better idea?
Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to break into federaI pro?erty?
A judge's chambers, no less?
You broke out of one. And if you don't do this, Peter could go to prison.
Yeah. lf I do, I couId go back.
You owe him.
AIl right. Why don't you get some rest, and we'II handle it?
HandIe, right. Like a doorknob.
Thank you. Thank you both.
NEAL: Get home safe.
Do you have any idea how we're gonna do this?
Okay, Fowler is sending his ?rivate courier to pick up the tape at 8 a.m.
AIl right. You got the ap?roach? Don't I aIways?
The courier truck wilI pulI up to the front entrance and check in.
When the driver steps out of the truck, I wiII stalI him.
This one's me. NEAL: I figured.
How are you gonna stalI him? With my obvious charm, of course.
Do we have a backup? Ha. I scouted the buiIding.
There's a security-camera blind spot over here.
So whiIe I stalI-- I come out of the bIind spot...
...dressed as the same courier. ExactIy.
AIl right. Any Iuck...
...getting your hands on a uniform? It's difficult to find a taiIor...
...in the dead of night, but I did the best l could.
Is this a park-ranger uniform? Maybe.
With an iron-on? I couIdn't find a thimbIe.
Oh, don't forget this. Oh, and a Bb gun.
WouId you ?refer a reaI one? No.
Okay. Now, you go into the office as the courier and ?ick u? the ta?e.
Then you use this.
What's the magnet supposed to be? A refrigerator magnet.
But it's actualIy a high-grade neodymium magnet--
Which wiII erase the tape. Yes, thoroughIy.
Then you change cIothes...
...hand over the newIy bIanked tape to the actuaI courier.
No one knows l was there. And everybody stays out ofjaiI.
You think this wiII work?
AIl nine of Judge Clark's suspicious forecIosures have the same criteria:
The target is a recently deceased eIderIy person...
...who's Iost contact with the family, primarily middIe cIass.
What about the banks and loan officers? Different in every case.
Judge is the onIy constant.
These cases originaIIy came to her court as standard estate Iitigation.
She's been in a perfect position to scout out the weaker famiIies.
Since the famiIies are estranged...
...they have to assume that the additionaI mortgages are Iegit.
Even if they didn't, they wouIdn't have enough money to fight the banks.
Either the famiIy pays, or they lose everything.
The average ?rice tag of a bogus Ioan is $350,000.
So where does the money go? That's the question.
David SuIIivan's forecIosure is stiIl in progress.
So let's foIIow the money. MAN 1 : Hey.
We're down. MAN 2: What ha?pened?
PETER: What? What? Someone just sealed the judge's fiIes.
What now?
We go back to the source.
Officer Herrera.
What do you want, Burke?
I got cIose to Clark, and l'm about to Iose my job.
You tried to warn me. I didn't do anything.
If l'm going down, CIark's coming with me.
Look, whoever's giving this judge cover, they won't stop at you.
Understand? They're gonna go after your friends, your famiIy.
That's why it's gotta stop.
I need the evidence that proves she's dirty.
I need to find the money that she got from the SulIivan Ioan.
I got shut down when I--
When I requested a search warrant for the judge's chambers.
Start there.
It'd be nearIy impossibIe to get into, but a great ?lace to hide it.
I owe you one.
Thanks.
You're Ray, right?
Yeah, l'm Ray. I thought it was you.
I figured you'd have the face of a mouth breather.
Do we have a probIem? You're damn right we do, Tiny.
You were supposed to deIiver a very sensitive package to me at my house.
Instead, you gave it to my mother.
You know what kind of trouble I'm in because of you?
If she sees what's in that package?
What was in the package? That's none of your business!
Hey. I'm here to pick up a package from Judge Clark.
Yes. Just a sec.
She's gonna take everything from me, man.
The free dinners, the free Iaundry, the free basement.
Is that what you want? No.
You want me penniIess in the street without a shirt?
You want me shirtless? No. God, no.
This is to be handed to Agent FowIer personalIy.
Understood. Nobody but him can sign for it. CIear?
Thanks.
I'II take care of it.
You got the wrong guy here. Oh, I do, do I?
You're gonna teIl me that you are not Ray ColIins?
No. See, I'm Ray Hofmeister.
Oh, man. Hmm.
I'm so sorry. Wrong Ray.
I'm sure this happens to you aIl the time. ActuaIIy, no.
WeIl, if you see CoIlins, you telI him I'm coming after him, okay?
Yeah, sure.
Hey. About time you got here.
AImost had to deliver this thing myseIf.
Make sure Agent Fowler receives this personaIIy.
I wilI. Just sign right here, pIease. Give me that.
RAY: I'm sorry for the delay.
[CELL PHONE BUZZES]
Peter. I spoke with Herrera.
He thinks the judge keeps the cash evidence in her chambers.
You know where exactIy? Not yet. Meet me in the office.
CLERk: I'II take care of it, judge.
On my way.
NEAL: Court's adjourned.
CIark should be back any minute now.
Did you find anything in her chambers? No. I made it look like someone tried to.
You good to go? Yep.
MOZZIE: She doesn't seem happy. NEAL: What are they saying?
"Someone's been here."
"What did they take?"
"I don't know. It-- It doesn't seem Iike they took anything.
The safe hasn't been touched."
There's a safe in there, and you didn't--? I didn't have time. Stay focused.
"We're com?romised.
I need to move everything.
Today-- Today's no good. Tomorrow's clear.
Tomorrow cartoon." "At noon."
Sometimes it cIicks. I don't know why.
I modified it mys-- Focus.
"Get me a de?osit box at Certified NationaI immediateIy."
And they're gone.
You gonna telI the suit? Soon as he's out of his meeting.
HUGHES: FowIer requested a tap on your phone.
Garrett.
So, what exactIy do you wanna show me?
I'II Iet the evidence speak for itseIf.
Is there anything recorded on this? They must've sent the wrong tape.
UntiI you have the right one, stop wasting my time.
I don't suppose you had anything to do with FowIer's bIank tape?
BIank tape? Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, but you shouId thank your wife.
Okay. That bought us some more time.
We need to make sure the money is in the judge's chamber.
It is. And get her to move it.
She wiIl, tomorrow at noon. I got the name of the bank where she's dum?ing it.
We can take her down there. Your information on the money...
...wasn't obtained IegaIly, was it?
We need probable cause for search and seizure on whatever is on her person.
You can't arrest her with a briefcase fulI of money?
That's right. I can't.
But maybe someone eIse can.
NEAL: How do we let Fowler know the judge is moving the money?
He's tapping my phone.
Agent Burke's making a caIl. If it's his wife, I'm not interested.
It's Caffrey.
NEAL: ShouId we talk about this on the phone?
PETER: This is my ceIl. We're fine.
Listen, Judge CIark says if I don't pay her soon, she'Il send the reaI tape to Fowler.
NEAL: What are you gonna do? PETER: Get the money together.
She wants it by noon today, or no deaI. I'II need your heIp with the dro?.
NEAL: Okay. Where is it? Certified NationaI at 51 st and 2nd.
NEAL: Okay. l'lI be there. l'm sorry about this, Peter.
PETER: Why are you sorry? WeIl, we both know why this is happening.
The music bo--
We got everything we need. Let's mobilize the team.
I'm first on scene. We take down Burke. You got that?
By the way, it's a quarter to 1 2. Then l better get there.
Give me the ta?e. What are you talking about?
You think you can doubIe-cross me?
I know what you have in here. I didn't doubIe-cross you. lt--
This is a setup.
[SIREN WAILS]
What's going on, FowIer? Don't say a word. Let me handIe this.
What the heII do you think you're doing? Assisting you.
You're about to cIose a high-profiIe case.
You're arresting Judge CIark on mortgage fraud.
Cash in hand.
UnfortunateIy, this means no more pet judge.
No more rubber stamps on your warrants.
You have no authorization for this. Of course I have. You gave it to me.
This is your signature, isn't it? Because if it is, you're a hero.
But if not, welI, l'm not sure how to expIain what you're doing here.
Judge CIark, you're under arrest. What?
You have the right to remain siIent. I highIy recommend you exercise that right.
This is a big win, Garrett.
Great work.
Yeah. Great work.
[INAUDIBLE DlALOGUE]
PETER: How's the interrogation going?
NEAL: Looked mad in there. Was that Good Cop, Bad Cop?
You need a good co? for that.
She's ?lea-bargaining out. Confessing to mortgage fraud.
Just mortgage fraud? I wonder who heIped her arrange that deaI.
Doesn't matter. She gave up her sources at the bank.
Even the clerk that was heIping her Iaunder the money.
She's gonna get a reduced sentence. She's taking advantage of the system.
I hate when peopIe do that. Now that I work for the system, of course.
I appreciate your cooperation on this one, Peter.
Next time I'm in from D.C., I'II give you a calI.
NEAL: It'lI take time to sort out alI the paperwork...
...but no one's taking this from you now.
This is where she'Il come home from her first day of school. Maybe her first date.
Your dad would be ha?py. Yeah, he wouId.
Thank you.
[PETER CHUCkLES]
CoIor on this.
[PETER AND ALLISON LAUGH]
PETER: So the rest of the house is cIear? Yes.
But your wiring beIongs in a museum.
You're living in a firetrap. The future is in copper wiring.
I know a guy-- PETER: You've done more than enough.
Thank you.
Moz, l'Il waIk you out. Oh, thanks, EI.
"El"? "Moz"? He trusts her.
Guess they were okay here.
Mixed victory.
Lot of those Iately.
You shouId be hap?y. Caught a dirty judge. Got rid of FowIer.
He won't stay away as long as l have the music box.
As Iong as he thinks you have it.
Okay, l don't have it. Oh, Iook at that.
TeIIing the truth. Did it hurt? Little bit.
Your turn.
You hear back from Kate?
I did.
Just two words: "See Robert."
That make any sense? Yeah. Robert's her father.
Wanna taIk to him?
Won't be easy.
He's dead.
PETER: kind of macabre for a meeting place.
NEAL: Yeah. lt sends a certain message.
MOZZIE: Yeah. "AIl hope abandon, ye who enter here."
PETER: I caIIed him.
MOZZIE: Consider this your kate intervention. It's time to think about giving up the chase.
NEAL: No, thanks.
There it is.
Robert Moreau.
kate's father. Yeah.
Flowers are a few days oId. Yeah.
PETER: She's been here.
Anything? No.
Maybe you guys were right.
Abandon aIl hope.
Does that fIower mean what I think it means?
Yeah, l think it does.
