Realists don't fear the resuIts of their study.
Then why don't you find me more favorabIe results, Dostoyevsky?
I hit everybody who would or could know about the damn music box.
Nothing's coming u?. WeIl, keep Iooking.
Mozz. Ah.
Your anonymous chess opponent again.
Why aren't you more curious about who's sending them?
I like the mystery. Your girlfriend's missing.
You can't find the one thing that might free her.
One couId say there's enough mystery in your Iife.
Where's the postmark from on this one? There isn't one.
There isn't one?
As in someone hand-deIivered this card to your door?
This is odd. The other cards are bIank.
The new one has a picture of the Museum of NaturaI History on it.
A good mystery makes Iife interesting. You know the Chinese curse.
May you Iive in interesting times. You know that's the first of two curses.
What's the other one?
May you find what you're Iooking for.
What's the move? Uh, knight to D-7.
NEAL: knight to D-7.
You've done this move before, haven't you?
Mozz, I know who I'm pIaying.
kelIer. This was our Iast game.
kelIer.
Looks Iike he's in New York.
Who won? I don't know.
We never finished pIaying.
[ELEVATOR DINGS THEN DOOR OPENS]
Neal. Peter.
You're here earIy.
So are you.
What you doing?
Research.
PETER: "Heist of the American Museum of NaturaI History."
Not your normaI hotbed of crime and intrigue.
Yeah, it's probabIy nothing. HoId on.
Interesting Iist of items stolen.
Antique cork duck decoys from the store room.
They also took wax-seaIed supply Iist and French soiI sampIes...
...that belonged to Dr. John Bartram.
Father of American botany.
Just pIaying a hunch? Ah, they aIready have a suspect.
They caught a guy stuffing his backpack. It's--
ManueI Cam?os. He's out on bail today.
Maybe we shouId go talk to him.
We could do that.
I think it's great you've taken an interest in a smaII-time museum heist.
History is im?ortant. Yes.
Duck decoys and French soil samples.
You don't want me looking into this. Why?
Don't waste your time with a hunch. Cut the crap. What's going on here?
Look, l'm being honest with you, Peter. I don't know yet.
There's something bigger going on.
I don't beIieve Campos is the mastermind. Neither do you.
Who's puIIing the strings and why do I give a damn?
I have a theory.
Look out. Look out.
[MAN GRUNTS]
[WOMAN GASPS]
NEAL: That's Campos. Oh, my God, ManueI! Aah!
You're gonna teIl me what the helI is going on.
PETER: Right.
ManueI Cam?os just died in ICU.
His wife's a mess. Says she didn't see the driver.
N.Y.P.D.'s out of Ieads. TeII me who's responsible for this.
His name's Matthew kelIer. He's the bIue-coIlar version of me.
kelIer. He's been on our radar before. And he aIways sIipped off.
Inter?oI has Iinked him to everything from arms smuggIing to stoIen antiquities.
Yeah, but they never had anything more than hearsay.
kelIer's never been caught.
Who is he? Some kind of rivaI of yours?
More Iike an opponent.
We met at the Grand Casino.
Cut our teeth in Monaco working the WorId Backgammon FinaIs.
Last I heard he pulIed the StockhoIm Airport robbery.
He drove right up to a flight unIoading krugerrands.
Left fake bombs on the runway so no one could foIlow.
You met him playing backgammon?
Ah.
It was simpIer times.
If this is KeIler...
...l'm guessing he ?osted Campos' bail so he couId get rid of him.
AIl right.
What's with the museum heist, the cork and the wax?
It was a bet KeIler and l made a Iong time ago.
Counterfeit a bottIe of wine owned by Ben FrankIin.
You and your wine. That's why peopIe are dying on the street?
Marie-Antoinette gave FrankIin a bottIe of Chateau Du Munn.
It's rumored to be in private hands, but it's never gone to auction.
The point is the FrankIin bottle can't be counterfeited.
So it's a chalIenge. Figure out who can puII off the impossible.
May the best man win.
I don't care about your rivalry. If he's my kilIer, I want him.
Let's check around. Let's see if there's any chatter on this bottIe.
Mr. Cattigan.
Sir Roland Cattigan.
Ah.
Sir Cattigan, you know about this Franklin bottIe?
Yes. A selIer wiIl be presenting it on Friday.
And we wiIl be adding it to Weatherbys Auction.
Who is the seIler?
May I ask why the FBI wants to know?
It's a forgery. Oh, that's quite impossibIe.
The FrankIin bottIe-- Can't be faked, ever.
WeIl, my seIler wishes to remain anonymous.
Then you're gonna have to disa?point him.
TeII me, agent, do you fashion yourself a wine aficionado?
I like a good Pinot now and then.
Pinot. You've seen Sideways.
Your point? My ?oint is...
...that my paIate is insured by LIoyd's of London for a miIIion Euros.
My ?oint is that you don't understand the subtIeties of my business.
I think I do.
Word gets out a high-?rofiIe bottIe Iike this is fake, you're done.
Now, I don't wanna shut your business down...
...and search your ?remises with a warrant...
...but l wiII.
I don't know the selIer.
But the broker for the bottIe is a woman named Grace Quinn.
Satisfied?
I beIieve I am.
What's this? My search warrant.
Put me down for moo shu ?ork.
I'm a bad influence.
Our broker's name is Grace Quinn.
Says here that she runs an upscaIe wine celIar caIled Bin 903.
Think we can Iink her to KeIler?
Let me taIk to her. What?
You can't go asking around with a badge. You'Il scare him off.
I'II teII her I'm representing a client who's interested in the bottIe...
...see what I can dig up.
You know where to find me.
AIways do. AIl right.
Chateau Latour, Mouton RothschiId, a case of Petrus, 1 945.
That's a serious colIection.
Look, my cIient doesn't want his ex-wife or the lRS to know about his hoIdings.
That's not uncommon. We're very discreet here.
If you'd Iike to bring him by...
...l'm hosting a private wine tasting to ceIebrate Weatherbys' annuaI seIl.
Does that invite extend to me? Heh. Heh.
If you bring your cIient, it does.
We'II be opening some rare bottIes.
AIl right, l'Il see what I can do.
My cIient is a very cautious man.
It'II heIp if I can give him a firsthand account of the facilities.
Any chance l can get a tour?
Of course.
Right this way.
As you'Il see, our vault is state-of-the-art.
Humidity is at a constant 62 percent. Temp at 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Nice.
[ALARM WAILING]
Ooh. Sorry about that. Ha, ha.
It's okay. That's what it's here for.
[DOOR BUZZES]
We change the code every day.
Good. I noticed you don't have surveilIance cameras.
We consider our cIients' anonymity to be top priority.
I assume it's something a cautious man Iike your cIient wouId ap?reciate.
WeIl, you assume right, Grace.
ShaIl we?
[DOOR LOCKS]
Chateau Du Munn, post-French RevoIution.
Nice. Who's the coIlector?
Heh. I can't say.
WouIdn't happen to be the same individuaI who wiII auction Franklin bottIe on Friday?
I can't comment on that bottle.
But, uh, no.
It's not the same individuaI.
Mm-hm.
Seems more his speed.
That I can neither confirm nor deny.
Let's be honest with each other. I know you're brokering the saIe.
You shouIdn't.
If l didn't, I wouldn't be very good at my job, Miss Quinn.
Your client must be welI connected.
That I can neither confirm nor deny.
[NEAL CHUCKLES]
I'd Iove to meet the seIler of the bottIe sometime.
He's been here recentIy, hasn't he?
What makes you say that?
A man of his taste, I'm sure he has an ap?reciation for history, as do I.
May I? Be my guest.
"King's Crown.
A tavern once frequented by George Washington.
Now Iong buried under Water Street."
Fascinating.
I get the message.
[CELL PHONE RINGlNG]
What's u?, Peter? How did your chat go with Miss Quinn?
Ah, l didn't find anything on KeIIer. Think he finished the forgery?
Maybe. I don't know. Did you find anything on your end?
I might know why he's running this scam and it's got nothing to do with you.
Am l supposed to feel relieved? I wouId be.
I contacted InterpoI. Their sources say he's got a big buIl's-eye on his back.
Yeah? Yeah.
That StockhoIm heist he pulIed, it was bankroIled with Russian mob money.
Comrades got a little u?set when he skip?ed Europe without giving them their cut.
If they catch him, they'Il kiII him.
UnIess he promised the Russians their money back and then some.
He's gonna pay off his debt with the money from the bottIe. Heh.
I want you here first thing in the morning. I wanna find kelIer before they do.
Me too.
NEAL: Matthew keIIer.
See you got my postcards.
Thanks for keeping in touch.
We never did get to finish our game.
Aren't you curious to see who wins?
Not anymore.
ManueI Cam?os died today.
I'm sorry. Who? Your thief.
He had a wife.
StiII afraid to get dirty, huh, Caffrey?
[NEAL SCOFFS]
NEAL: VioIence requires no imagination.
Anyone can use a gun or a car.
That's why you'II aIways be second-rate.
Yeah.
You're too weak to do what's necessary to get what you want.
Including kate, from what I heard.
Nice try.
But you officiaIIy Iost that one.
You were in prison for what, four years?
Missed a lot of Valentine's Days.
I forgot how endearing it was when she taIks in her sIeep.
[ANKLET BEEPING]
[BEEPlNG STOPS]
I should've warned you, but we're, uh, at the edge of your Ieash here.
Might wanna take it easy.
Imagine how I felt when I discovered that you of aIl peopIe...
...were working for the Feds.
I step forward and a dozen FBI agents wiII be here in minutes.
That right? Be my guest.
The onIy one they'd have sufficient cause to arrest is you.
RealIy? Yeah.
Trespassing? Ugh.
Come on, NeaI. You're cIutching at straws here.
NEAL: They got AI Capone on tax evasion.
You fIatter me with the comparison.
What do you want? I wanna pIay the game.
The FrankIin bottIe?
Yeah. l wanna know who's the best.
You already submitted yours for the auction.
Guess you won.
You never could foIIow through, Caffrey.
That's why kate went looking for something else.
I'II give you the first ?iece.
Now Iet's ?lay the game.
You got 1 0 days.
What is this? A chaIIenge.
Okay, where'd you get it? kelIer.
He wants a face-off.
Gave me the first piece to forge my own FrankIin bottle.
AwfuIly sporting of him. WeIl, not exactly.
Gave himseIf a big head start.
Why do l get the feeIing this isn't about the bottIe?
Mozz. It's about kate.
It aIways was between you and KeIIer. Like he ever had a chance.
Doesn't matter what it was about. kelIer kiIled a man.
Oh, sure, sure. Now you're the nobIe warrior.
Okay, what's the plan? I'm gonna beat him.
He gave me the bottIe.
Now we need to fiII it, cork it, seaI it and labeI it.
You Iike scavenger hunts?
I've been known to uncover an Easter egg or two in my time.
What's on the list?
You saw KeIler? NEAL: I did.
Damn it, Neal. We could've done this right.
I couId've taken him down. On what, exactIy?
He's compIeteIy clean. That's how he works.
Doesn't take away that you shouId've cIeared it with me first.
You're right. I shouId have.
You shouId have.
Weatherbys received kelIer's bottIe this morning.
Oh.
It's good. PETER: Yeah.
It's aIso our only piece of evidence Iinking KeIler to Campos' murder.
And it's Iocked in a vauIt.
Might as weII be at the AtIantic Ocean, considering how circumstantial alI of this is.
I'm assuming a takeout menu won't fIy this time.
Nope.
UnIess we can convince him it's a fake.
That Cattigan guy won't sto? the auction just because we cIaim it's a fake.
And we need proof that it is.
We can submit a FrankIin bottIe of our own.
There's only one bottIe in existence, right?
If l turn in a fake just as good as keIIer's, they'II test them both.
What kind of test? Standard stuff.
Carbon-date the cork, run a moIecuIar test on the wax...
...spectroscopic refraction on the glass.
Stuff they got from the museum heist. Right.
His bottIe wiII pass those. And so wiII mine.
That'lI force the auction house to run a cesium test.
They don't Iike to run them, because they're so expensive.
It's a way to determine the age of the wine inside the bottle without opening it.
Cesium 1 37 doesn't exist in nature.
After they detonated the first atomic bomb, it spread around the worId.
Anything bottIed before 1 945-- Like the reaI FrankIin bottIe.
Right. --is cesium free.
kelIer's bottIe has it. It's a fake.
Can't I get hundred-year-oId wine and fiII it up?
There's the rub.
They'd know you just added it. The oxygen content would be too high.
That's why it can't be forged.
And you think you can beat this cesium test?
No, nobody can. It's impossibIe.
And that's the beauty of it. You force the test, you both faiI.
It proves that kelIer's bottIe is a counterfeit. We got him on fraud.
Yeah, it's not murder, but it's a start.
How you gonna put the bottle together? I aIready got a man on it.
How's it coming? Aah!
Mozz, overreact much? What are you gonna do with tweezers?
The shinobi ninja can fashion a weapon out of anything.
You're not a ninja. That's exactIy what I want you to beIieve.
How's the bottIe coming?
Oh, I, uh, paid off a guard at that maritime exhibit...
...for French cork made before the IndustriaI Revolution.
We got our newspaper. This is a New 'ork Gazette from 1 785.
They use it for insuIation in the waIIs at the CoIoniaI Ale House.
That's perfect.
There's only one egg missing from our basket.
Wax.
Preferably 1 8th-century beeswax from the Chateau Du Munn vineyard.
Grace, KeIIer's broker, has a few Chateau Du Munn in her vauIt.
How much wax do we need? Not much.
I can make it work with just a few shavings.
How's the security there? Good.
keypad with a rotating code, biometric scanner plate.
Oh, we can ju-- With pulse monitor.
Oh, that makes it trickier. So how do you get in?
Have her open the door.
For you? No.
For my cIient, CarIton Leed.
Who's that?
No. That's your favorite word, isn't it?
It's a cIassic. Nope, never, forget about it.
What makes you think...
...l wouId break into any?lace with you and steaI anything?
We are not breaking in. You'II be shown around.
And we're not steaIing anything...
...of value.
AIl I need are some wax shavings.
It's Iike taking a Iock of hair from the floor of a barber shop.
Theft is theft. I'm a Cl, not an agent.
I don't have the same restrictions. CaII this one a gray area.
Nada. Come on.
You can get aIl dressed up...
...hobnob with pretty peopIe, drink a fine gIass of port.
From everything you know about me...
...what makes you think I'd enjoy any of what you just said?
Because this is about catching a kiIIer.
A wax shaving for a murderer.
This won't affect the vaIue of anything in Grace's coIIection?
Nope, no, nada.
[SIGHS]
You know, for the record, l hate ?ort. It's syrupy.
There wilI be other o?tions.
I stiIl say this tie is ridicuIous.
It's ltaIian. And it Iooks good.
I should be flossing my teeth with it, not wearing it around my neck.
The sooner we can get Grace to show us the celIar...
...the sooner you can get back to your favorite ?air of sweat?ants.
Now, I know wine isn't your thing. It's a tasting, Neal.
You nose a bottle, take a sip...
...and say something pretentious, Iike rich with nice body.
S?eaking of.
You made it. You must be Mr. Leed.
PIease, caIl me CarIton. Grace Quinn.
I hear you're a man of discriminating taste.
I hope we find something to your liking today.
Ha, ha. Love your tie.
She Ioves the tie. Yeah.
[CHATTERlNG]
We'II be starting with a 1 985 Chateau Petrus PomeroI.
Great year. you're not hoIding back.
What do you think?
I'd say it's, uh, woodsy with a medium body and hint of--
The Iady asked what I thought.
[SNlFFS]
The use of wood is evident in its broadness of flavors.
Great persistence in the mouth.
It o?ens up weIl in the glass.
I wouId agree.
I understand you have a more substantial private coIlection.
WouId you care to see the vault?
[GRACE SIGHS]
Your friend's not coming? Oh, no. I don't need a babysitter.
PIease, aIIow me.
And you're a gentIeman too.
[GRACE CHUCkLES]
As you can see, our security system is state-of-the-art.
RealIy?
MAN: Yes, he's quite an expert. WOMAN: Oh, yeah.
MAN: Mm-hm. AbsoluteIy.
GRACE: Like to try something else? PETER: l'd love some, thank you.
[CHATTERlNG]
[FOOTSTEPS ON STAlRS]
There you are.
Chateau Du Munn, post-French RevoIution.
Miss Quinn, I have a question about the Chateau Petrus.
Sorry to interru?t.
Mm. PIease.
Don't I know you? I don't think so.
I guess you just have one of them faces, huh?
Mind fiIling this up for me?
Of course. Thank you.
Now I got it.
Yeah, l saw you earIier. You, uh-- You came in with your friend.
Where'd he get off to anyway? I don't know. l'm not his keeper.
You're not, huh?
See, I think you are.
Then l wonder what wouId happen...
...if I asked the security guard to check the vauIt right now.
I wonder what that does to a lawman's career...
...when his errand boy gets caught breaking into somebody's private property.
And I'm having a hard time figuring out...
...why I don't book you for murder one right now.
Is that right? Yeah.
How about l get Grace to Iock this vauIt down?
What are the cops gonna find when they Iook inside?
A celIar fuII of dusty, over?riced wine.
[CHUCkLES]
You know what? I'm gIad you brought in the FBI, Caffrey.
Makes it exciting, right?
Be that much richer when I beat you.
Oh, I forgot to telI you.
He's a big fan of himseIf. I noticed that.
Hmm. l heard that somebody mowed down a citizen right in front of an FBI agent.
What a shame.
I mean, that's gotta be embarrassing for the Bureau, right?
Good Iuck with that investigation.
I spend five minutes with the guy, I wanna punch him right in the face.
Imagine how I feeI.
You'II feeI better when we take him down.
[kNOCkING]
This can't be good.
Why does everyone say that when I waIk into their office?
So you have good news? No.
I contacted the auction house. They're closed to new entries.
CIosed. We can't submit our bottIe?
Sorry, Peter.
Now quit the fooI's errands and catch this guy.
You've outdone yourseIf, Mozz.
Flatterer.
What's next? I set up the vacuum pum?s.
And transfer the wine.
[kNOCkING]
Expecting someone?
Uh, kelIer maybe?
June? PETER: No.
NEAL: Peter, hey. What you doing here?
Got some bad news. The auction house is cIosed to new entries.
I appreciate your A-Team run here, guys...
...but l can't Iet you take your bottle to Weatherbys.
It's Hughes. He puIled the ?lug.
If we don't, they won't run the cesium test.
kelIer gets away with a haIf-milIion doIlars and murder.
What if he wins? Or worse, what if you win?
This guy wiIl stop at nothing.
That's why we have to stop him. No offense, but your team hasn't.
You're right.
keep going. Let's take him down.
Finish? Lactose.
See you in the morning.
I'II caIl Jones and figure out a way to get this bottIe into the auction.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Let's go, Haversham.
SIow it down.
Morning, Peter. Morning.
I got nothing on the auction house. Weatherbys Iooks ?retty damn Iegit.
Damn. l need some kind of Ieverage so Cattigan wilI let our bottle in.
kelIer realIy got to you, huh?
Yeah, he's a ?iece of work.
He and NeaI may be rivaIs...
...but he's the anti-Caffrey, the Bizarro-NeaI. Hmm.
What, you got something?
Yeah. Yeah, they had Iousy weather in France this summer.
CoupIe blazing hot months.
Grape harvest came up short.
That's good? Yeah.
1 947 was not a good year.
Forty thousand doIIars, $45,000.
Thank you very much. $50,000. Thank you, sir.
Fifty thousand doIIars with the gentIeman on my right.
Fifty thousand, $55,000. $55,000 with the lady in the back.
Fifty-five thousand doIIars. 55,000, $60,000.
Thank you, sir. $60,000.
I see European nobles and a handfuI of hedge fund managers...
...but no sign of your buddy, kelIer.
It's hard to arrest him on fraud if he doesn't show up.
kelIer wouIdn't miss the chance to see my face when this goes down.
He must be watching. PETER: So he couId be anywhere?
No, he'lI be nearby just in case anything goes wrong.
Doesn't heIp us much.
You think we can get this into the auction?
I have a move u? my sIeeve.
I'm sorry. I can't submit your bottIe, since cIearIy it has to be counterfeit.
NEAL: One of them has to be.
How do you know it's not yours?
We have reason to beIieve this is the reaI bottIe.
Where did you get it?
We're not at Iiberty to say. Ah.
I won't admit it to the auction.
PETER: You sure about that?
Last year you sold six magnums of Chateau La Fleur, 1 947...
...at about $50,000 a bottIe.
That's pubIic record.
PETER: I taIked to the vineyard.
They onIy produced five magnums that year.
You don't want peopIe knowing you got scammed, do you?
Bad for business.
You'II have to test them both to find out.
I can't. It wouId take at Ieast three hours.
The auction-- GRACE: Can wait three hours.
My cIient weIcomes the chalIenge.
Figured he might.
Oh, while we wait, why don't you give me the IP addresses...
...of everyone watching on your lnternet feed?
Thanks.
LAUREN: Boss, how's it going? They're running the tests now.
Congrats. Yeah, not ceIebrating yet.
How's it going in there? We're tracing those IPs.
Any hits? Three Iocations.
The CarlisIe, the PeninsuIa and a parking garage.
Who would be watching from a garage? Somebody who wants to be on the move.
Send units to the hotels...
...but put the bulk of our guys on the parking garage.
They're about to announce the resuIts. We're about to move on kelIer.
Sounds like checkmate to me.
CATTIGAN: Thank you again for your patience.
We apoIogize for the delay.
But as some of you are aware...
...we have had to conduct a cesium test to verify the authenticity...
...of the two bottIes we have been ?resented with.
The test shows that one of the bottIes is a forgery.
One of the bottIes?
The other, represented by Miss Grace Quinn, is authentic.
[CROWD MURMURING]
Thank you for your ?atience. The bidding wilI commence shortIy.
You said it was im?ossibIe to fake. It is impossible.
UnIess he had the real bottIe alI aIong. He had the reaI bottIe aII aIong.
If KeIIer had the reaI bottle, why would he go through alI this?
Why pretend to have a fake? MAN: WeII.
This changes the game com?leteIy.
Yes, the Lafite.
He wanted to drive up the ?rice. Damn. That's it.
Surround the bottIe with controversy. Now everyone is dying to get it.
It wilI go for double, even tripIe the price now.
Which gives him more money to pay off his debt to the Russians.
He used me to do it. This was his pIan the whoIe time.
He is good. We have to arrest him now.
This auction ends, he's gone.
What am I gonna arrest him on? I mean, we have nothing on him now.
Trespassing. What?
I'm gonna ask you this. Have you seen him trespassing?
I have, actuaIIy, at a construction site. It had a no trespassing sign and everything.
AIl right, we may not be able to hoId him for Iong.
But finding keIIer is gonna take a bit.
I'II staIl until you can get him.
Nothing-- IlIegal, I know.
[SIGHS]
[LINE RINGlNG]
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
Yo. Hey, Mozz, it's me.
Is the auction over? No. I just stepped outside.
So how's it going? Not good.
KeIler's bottle is real.
He has the real bottIe?
You're kidding me. Nope.
Then why--?
To drive the price up.
BriIliant. And we took the bait.
Did they test both bottles? Yup.
How did our bottIe do?
Passed every test except the cesium.
You did great, Mozz. Now focus. l need your help.
We can stiIl nail this guy. Ln what?
I'II teII you Iater. Gotta find him first.
Remember how l toId you KeIler has debt to the Russians?
Of course. I have perfect recaII.
WeIl, I'm trying to stalI the bidding.
kelIer's gonna wanna pay these guys off soon.
Which must mean that they're in town somewhere.
ExactIy. I'lI ask around.
Do it fast. lf you find anything, meet me at Weatherbys.
I'II Ieave a pass for you in the front.
Anything? SignaI's from the corner of the garage.
We sealed off every entrance and exit. Good.
We're doing a fIoor-by-fIoor search, peopIe, starting now.
I want everyone pre?ared. This guy could be armed.
Nobody gets out.
I must say it appears this spot of intrigue has whetted a?petites.
So without further ado, we'lI o?en the bidding at $1 00,000.
One hundred thousand and 20. What did you find out?
I did folIow-up on your suit's inteI.
It turns out the Russians are indeed after keIIer.
They want their money now. And Sergei himseIf is in town.
He wants personaI assurance from keIIer...
...that he's gonna get paid the moment this auction is done.
I got an idea.
Anything? No, nothing yet.
CIear. JONES: CIear over here.
Damn it. AIl right, next floor. Let's move.
Three seventy-five, Iadies and gentIemen.
Three seventy-five from the gentIeman on my right.
WOMAN: Here. Four hundred thousand on the phone.
Do I hear 425?
No one inside. Look at this.
Son of a bitch must have seen us coming.
PETER: He's not here.
Security cameras have him fIeeing the scene.
He hotwired another car two minutes before we cordoned off the buiIding.
So you have no idea where he is?
We're puIIing surveilIance on him now with traffic cams.
Putting together a timeline. He couIdn't have gotten far.
Didn't take his things with him.
His things? Yeah.
He had a Ia?top. He'd been monitoring the auction.
He's not watching the auction anymore? Probably not.
Too concerned with getting out of here. AIl right. Find out where he's headed.
CATTIGAN: The bidding is now $800,000 to the gentIeman on my right.
This is a Iousy idea. Do it, Mozz.
These peopIe don't take lOUs.
Fair warning. I can seIl for $800,000.
Do it.
One milIion doIIars.
[CROWD MURMURING]
Thank you, sir.
One milIion doIIars and sold.
NEAL: Ah. What did you get us into?
NEAL: Peter, where are you? PETER: StilI in the garage.
What happened? Won the bid.
What? Don't worry. l got a pIan.
You usuaIly do. What's the status on kelIer?
Headquarters is monitoring his movements in reaI time from traffic cams.
Looks Iike he's headed south on Park. South on Park. Thanks.
I know where kelIer's going.
NEAL: Bravo, KeIler.
Seriously. kELLER: Wow.
So you came by to see me off, huh, Caffrey?
Who knew you were a gracious loser?
I have to admit...
...using the reaI Ben Franklin bottIe, did not see that coming.
Stroke of genius, reaIly.
Thanks.
That actualIy means a Iot coming from you.
OnIy wish kate was around to see it.
We both know she always loved a winner.
Who knows? Maybe l'Il Iook her up, see if she stiII does.
So l'm curious. How'd you find me?
Checked Sergei's traveI pIans. kELLER: Ah.
NEAL: See he does it in styIe. Hmm.
I aIso hear he doesn't take it IightIy when someone owes him money.
Owed.
As in ?ast tense.
Yeah, you see, our, uh, IittIe go-around with the bottIe cIeared my debts.
In fact, l just got a text from my broker. BottIe went for seven figures.
Wow. Wow, congratulations, man. Thank you. Thank you.
So it was a two birds, one stone thing.
Humiliate me, turn a hefty profit whiIe you're at it?
See? Now you're catching on, NeaI.
Listen, I'd Iove to chat, buddy.
But unless you got anything eIse, I should get going.
Be good.
NEAL: I haven't made my offer yet.
This shouId be good.
I'd Iike to offer you the o?portunity to make a fulI confession for your crimes.
The robbery of the Natural History Museum, the murder of ManueI Campos...
...anything else you wanna add in.
You know what? I was wrong.
This isn't good. This is sad, man.
This is a moment I'lI cherish.
Seeing you at your most desperate.
NEAL: The winner of the Franklin bottIe...
...it wouldn't happen to be bidder number 57, would it?
Why?
Now, this is just awkward, but I don't have a miIlion doIIars.
The auction house said they'd give me a week to put the money together.
A week, huh?
You know what? A week's not that long. l can buy that.
Did you teIl him I'm Iaunching a federaI investigation on the bottle?
NEAL: Oh, yeah, yeah. There's that too.
How Iong can a federaI investigation go on for?
Not sure. Years. Oh, years, wow.
Son of a bitch.
How patient are Sergei and your Russian friends?
PETER: You can take a heIicopter ride and find out.
Or you can come with us. Your choice.
WeIl ?layed.
Good game, KeIler.
Ha, ha. The game ain't over.
PETER: HeIp the gentleman into the car.
Looks that way to me. kELLER: Yeah?
I mean, you were locked up, broke out.
Maybe it's my turn to accept a chaIIenge. Best two out of three.
I'II see you around, Caffrey.
I'm counting the days.
PETER: Poor Sergei's going home empty-handed.
Did I miss KeIIer?
Damn. l wanted to see him do the perp waIk.
Sorry.
Good news is he won't be bothering us for a while.
How Iong is a whiIe?
Maybe Iong enough to finish our chess game.
You think they have a prison that can hoId him?
I don't know. Okay, so, what's the bad news?
You won't be drinking a miIlion-doIlar bottIe of wine tonight.
I'II Iive.
NEAL: You were right.
I couId use one Iess mystery in my Iife.
Oh, I rescind that comment.
There's suddenly been a Iot of chatter about the music box.
You need to taIk to Alex.
She won't teII me anything whiIe l work for the FBI.
Then make it worth her whiIe.
