Good morning, Sunshine. It's me obviously. Look, I had to
go to a boy lesson. I need to take care
of a few things for her. I'll meet you up.
I'll meet you up later. So there's an espresso pod
in the drawer next to the bridge. And oh, hey,
do you mind taking India out for a quick walk.
Oh and I left your key under the mat and
we'll make yourself at home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Okay, you don't need to go out right now, do
you Indian like I have time to make a cup
of coffee?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Please?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay, yeah, I got it, just one quick call. Hey,
we need to talk. I appreciate you meeting me, Dad.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I didn't realize you needed a security detail to talk
to your father. Giewobba wouldn't have been my first choice.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
This is this is Indy.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Why am I here, Fernando, And please tell me it's
not to introduce me to your new bet.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, No, it's okay, Dad.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I don't have I don't have the painting, and I
never did.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I did get close, really really close. But I guess
you got what you wanted in the end, because Gigi.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Has the Delano and she stole it right out from
under me. I never started coming.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well, I can't say I'm surprised after everything between you two,
Gigi was clearly trying to send you a message.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Dad.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
If you really think I didn't know Gigi had the painting,
she called me the second she acquired it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I'm going to ask you.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Again, why did you call me here?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, it's good, it's complicated.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I I wanted to tell you that.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Stop waimpering and tell me why I came all the
way downtown, or I'll toss you and that little rat
because I'm done.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I'm done, Dad, with all of it. I'm done with
the business and the lies. I'm done leaving a wake
of destruction.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Everywhere I go.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
You're being a coward.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I am done trying to calm my way into being
the son you always wanted.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
For the first time in my life, I met someone
who actually cares about me. He thinks of me before
he thinks of himself, and he makes me so.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Happy, so happy.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
None, though, did I ever tell you how your mother
and I met?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I guess, but no, I guess not.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Your mother's parents were long standing clients of the business.
You're a weello knew that maintaining our family's relationship would
be beneficial strengthen both family names. So they set us up.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
A minute, you and Mommy, it was it was arranged.
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
It was strategic, and I understood, even at a young age,
that my purpose in life was to lead the family business,
to ensure its longevity for the generations to come. That's
the way it's always been with the men in our family.
You marry for the good of the business.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I love him, Dad.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It doesn't matter. You think you'll have a better life
running off with this new boyfriend of yours, that all
your problems will magically disappear. You can't run from what's
in your blood.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
What do you care if I run, I'm giving you
an out. You've always favored Gigi.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Anyway, Oh no, no no, Inju and Gigi against each
other on purpose. She made you a better con. You've
always needed an extra push, Fernando, even if you didn't
know it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
This is exactly what I'm doing. I didn't need an
extra push. I needed my life is in some game.
Come on, Indy, let's get out of here.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Ah, you can try to protect your boyfriend from me. Fernando,
but can you protect him from you?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Okay, I can do this. I got this.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Good afternoon, horn, delightful to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Gg. I trust Fernando no matter his history.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
In our session a few weeks ago, you told me
that our past shouldn't define her present.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
So that doesn't mean we should ignore it either.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I believe people can change.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
I have people can change, but Fernando won't one.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It's made Fernando, Hi, Hi, Hey, Hey, it's everything.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay you've seen No?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah, no, never better? You know?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (05:18):
What did you and Indy head off to? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, we went to we went to go talk to
my dad.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Actually, I'm guessing you too, didn't bond over a couple
of beers.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, I told him the truth about Gigi out conning
us about leaving the family business. I'm and that I'm
in love with you.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
You said what?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I said, I love you one, and I need you
to know that I care about you more than I
care about.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
The stupid job, honestly. For no, this is this is
everything I've ever wanted.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh why do I feel like there's a butt at
the end of that sentence?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
But I can't.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I don't want you to be thinking what if as
we start our future together?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No I won't.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I think you will.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And that's okay. This is all you've ever known. But
I think in order to move on you have to
close down this chapter for good.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, what are you suggesting?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, take back the con what to prove to yourself
that you can do it?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Know what ifs?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And once we have the painting, we say screw you
to everybody and start our life together.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What did I do to deserve you?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Who says he deserves me?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, okay, you're the boss. Then what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, we need a plan of attack.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
The transaction is taking place on Leonard Burton's yacht doc
just north of Chelsea peuse exclusive invite list high security,
but the water traffic on the Hudson will be high
at that time of day, so we should be able
to blend in with the smaller marine vessels and monitor
the transaction from the jet skis at a safe distance.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Oh wait, why.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Don't we just take the painting before or the transaction
actually happens?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Cut Gigi off him.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
No, we wanted to think she's one. I know gg
she gets lazy when she thinks the job is.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
In the bag. She'll have her guard down. It's the
perfect time of strike. Phase two. Find a way on board.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Do you still have that a fancy suit from when
we stuck into the museum.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That won't be enough.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
The guest list on that yacht will be iron clad
unless you're a pretty girl. Leonard has a weakness for
younger women. The boat staff will have already been hired,
so we could try posing as dock workers.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Maybe there's no way in hell I'll pass the dock worker. Okay,
people will spot that bluff from am all.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Away A bluff one, that's it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Okay, I don't follow.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Leonard isn't just a showman with his money.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
He's a gambler.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Every party he's.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Ever thrown always involves an elaborate poker game with insane stakes.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Which means I'll sneak.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
On board as a poker dealer. I've got the perfect
disguise for it.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Okay, but Leonard knows who you are.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I still got a few tricks up my sleeve. Have
you ever see that movie Face Off with John Travolta?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (07:59):
You can do that?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, it's not as complicated these days prosthetic makeup, a
lace wig.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Leonard will be so focused on the game he'll barely
be paying attention to my face.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, but what about me?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well you, Chilito, Well someone's got to wear that fancy
suit and we both know you will look damn fine
in it.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, so we're on board. Phase three, locate Delano.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Leonard's security detail will have stored the Delano somewhere secure
on board. It'll be heavily guarded, so we need a
reason for him to bring it out and show it
off to everyone. We need to get Leonard to use
the Delano as collateral in the poker game.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm terrible card games, not to mention, I have absolutely
no poker face.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh, which, it's fine. I'll feed you cards.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
We'll make sure you lose the first round, make Leonard
think he has the upper hand, and then you raise
the steaks by.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Betting on the Delano.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
And if I win.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Leonard plays dirty, but he's a man of his word.
It's the one thing he prides himself on.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Chulito. If you win, that painting is ours.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Well, what about Gigi?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The second the painting's put on the table, She'll be
on high alert.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Welcome to phase four. A distraction.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You fake a medical emergency, I recommend heart palpitations, a
little flaming.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
In the mouth.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's showing and it'll cause enough chaos on board to
lose Gigi and make our way up to the helipad
with the paint.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Wait helipad as in helicopter.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, I will be waiting for you in the Hold
on a second.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What you can fly a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, it's easier than flying a jet, trust.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Me, Fernando. If Gigi spots one of us, it's game over.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I think we need a bigger distraction, something something, not
something someone?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, who are you calling?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Hold on our distraction?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Shit, Juan, you're alive. What William said? You extended your
mental health a sabbatical? I don't buy it. You and
Fernando or on baking.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
By the time anyone realizes something's off, we'll be sailing
into the horizon, or I mean, flying off into the sunset,
on our way to our own new life.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
People call stress, Why are you okay?
Speaker 6 (10:32):

You're playing like a chap, mister Burton.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Don't I always though, I must say, all this winning
is starting to wear thin. I'm craving something new, something exciting,
something challenging.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
If you're looking for a challenge, then i'd.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Recommend dealing me in Ah, and you are bored, honestly?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Are you ready to make a wager?

Or has your lust for adventure fizzled like your mid
Prish champagne?

I thought you said you'd pose a challenge with the bankraft.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Well I never claimed to have met my match. But
how about one more game? And this time let's raise
the stakes in drigging. What did you have in mind?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Well, a little birdie in a short skirt downstairs told
me you've recently acquired a genuine Delano in demand commodity.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
These days, word spreads fast, all.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Or nothing for the painting.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Winner of the next round gets a shiny new centerpiece
for the mantle Mima.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Now that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That is, unless, of course, you're done else seeking for
the day, which is understandable.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
The sun's barely setting, and I can do this all night.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Oh see you accept.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Ah, You're either a complete jack, said Wyn Bancraft, or
my new favorite competitor. Get ready for the game of
your life.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Shall we.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Delano's composition work in Vietri sul Mare is exemplary, won't
you say, mister Betton?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Almost as exemplary as my last hand, right, mister Burton,
your hand first? Straight flush a. Apologies, mister Bancroft.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
I'm afraid the night just is in your night.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
The funny thing about Margaret Delano's work is that up
close the colors she chose don't work.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
They clash and fight to.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
One another, like they've been painted by someone looking through
a prism. But as you step back, they start to
blend together, like a symphony. The waves, then the sand,
the elements all merged to form a perfect union, much
like this.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
What are you hiding, mister Bancraft.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Oh, loyal flush ah, as I see it.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
I have two options, mister Bancraft. Option one, I throw
you overboard with a chair tied to your ankle and
pretend this game never happened. Option two, I give you
the painting, because I'm a man of my word.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Well, the painting is yours, Edwin Bancraft. Lucky for me,
I have this dealer eating out of the palm of
my hand. Next game is mine.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Dig right here, Leonard.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Saw mister Bankrft here to his prize. Looks like the
Delano has found another home for now.
Speaker 16 (22:17):
That was a hell of a game, mister Bancroft, at
least the part I caught. Let's take a little stroll,
inspect the merchandise.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It was a pleasure doing business with you, mister.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Be indeed and make sure you join us on the
downstairs deck in a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Wouldn't want you to miss a summer sunset.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Over the hudside. Of course, we'll be down in a
jiff next dalling Gigi. Please don't do anything stupid.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
Me never one crest. That was a greade acon, smooth, slick, confident.
Everything I taught you in our sessions was on full display.
You deserve that painting, one, especially after what phedenomenaill put
you through.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Oh my god, after you.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
Pyetri, It's wow.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
It still takes my breath away.
Speaker 16 (23:34):
God one, you're so genuine. I always thought that was
a liability in this line of work. But that show
you put on up there masterful. You really believed you
were Edwin Bancroft, and so did everyone else.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Gigi, you know I have to walk off this boat
with this painting. Everyone saw me win it fair and square,
so I'm gonna take it now, nice and slowly.
Speaker 16 (24:01):
One, I have a proposition for you.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Excuse me.
Speaker 16 (24:08):
Forget the Ernando work with me. You and I did
this together. Whether or not you realize it or not,
we would make an amazing team.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
One, Stephanie, I'll be a second.
Speaker 16 (24:22):
Okay, come in, Stephanie, join us.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
No, Stephanie, Oh my god?
Speaker 16 (24:28):
Is that I was just offering Juan a little deal?
And yes, I know you two are working together.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
What are you talking about? I'm here to network and
that's girl.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You can do better than that.
Speaker 16 (24:39):
I recognize you from the museum the second you side
it up to me at the bar. You're smart, that's sure,
but not this pretentious Galerina act with all that vacant article.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Okay, hey, let her go.
Speaker 17 (24:57):
No, it's your last lesson.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
One.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
Make the choice.
Speaker 16 (25:02):
What's it gonna be afraid for your painting?
Speaker 17 (25:06):
You make a choice. One?
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Why are you in here?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh my god? Who did this to you?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Right right right?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, what did you say?
Speaker 16 (25:38):
I said, why don't you ask one and his new partner?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's where is he? That's what I'm asking you? Where
is he?
Speaker 16 (25:45):
Why do you look like Steve Buscemi?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh my god?
Speaker 16 (25:52):
What's like the student has officially become the teacher. Better
hurry because it sounds like that chopper is almost swarmed up?
Speaker 18 (26:00):
What what?
Speaker 7 (26:12):
What?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Scun?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
What?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Seventy's taking the paintings to missus Levingston in the Hudson
Valley where it belonged.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't understand. Why are you wearing a scuba suit?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I thought you couldn't switch.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I lied something you're pretty familiar with. I realized what
we found the files, and you're safe at the facility.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
That one's proving.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You push Gigi out of the airplane, not the other
way around. You left her to rot in a cell
in Zurich. What kind of person does that to their
own family. I don't have anything left to say.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I trusted and I trusted you. I guess we both
made that mistake.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, and I was doing this for you, not for
my dad, not for Gig. I didn't care about the painting. Anymore.
I cared about you.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You're just like the Delano from far away. You're gorgeous
and well composed, but up close the colors just clash
for dominance.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
You're literally at war with yourself.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Fernando, and I understand how that feels.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I was there for a really, really.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Long time, but I'm not there anymore, and I don't
think I can be with someone who is.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Just give me a chance.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Goodbye, Fernando.
Speaker 15 (27:29):
What Just?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
One.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Good morning, Sunshine. It's me obviously. Look, I had to
go to a boy lesson. I need to take care
of a few things for her. I'll meet you up.
I'll meet you up later. So there's an espresso pod
in the drawer next to the bridge. And oh, hey,
do you mind taking India out for a quick walk.
Oh and I left your key under the mat and
we'll make yourself at home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Okay, you don't need to go out right now, do
you Indian like I have time to make a cup
of coffee?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Please?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay, yeah, I got it, just one quick call. Hey,
we need to talk. I appreciate you meeting me, Dad.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I didn't realize you needed a security detail to talk
to your father. Giewobba wouldn't have been my first choice.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
This is this is Indy.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Why am I here, Fernando, And please tell me it's
not to introduce me to your new bet.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, No, it's okay, Dad.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I don't have I don't have the painting, and I
never did.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I did get close, really really close. But I guess
you got what you wanted in the end, because Gigi.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Has the Delano and she stole it right out from
under me. I never started coming.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well, I can't say I'm surprised after everything between you two,
Gigi was clearly trying to send you a message.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Dad.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
If you really think I didn't know Gigi had the painting,
she called me the second she acquired it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I'm going to ask you.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Again, why did you call me here?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, it's good, it's complicated.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I I wanted to tell you that.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Stop waimpering and tell me why I came all the
way downtown, or I'll toss you and that little rat
because I'm done.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I'm done, Dad, with all of it. I'm done with
the business and the lies. I'm done leaving a wake
of destruction.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Everywhere I go.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
You're being a coward.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I am done trying to calm my way into being
the son you always wanted.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
For the first time in my life, I met someone
who actually cares about me. He thinks of me before
he thinks of himself, and he makes me so.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Happy, so happy.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
None, though, did I ever tell you how your mother
and I met?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I guess, but no, I guess not.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Your mother's parents were long standing clients of the business.
You're a weello knew that maintaining our family's relationship would
be beneficial strengthen both family names. So they set us up.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
A minute, you and Mommy, it was it was arranged.
No no, no, no no.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
It was strategic, and I understood, even at a young age,
that my purpose in life was to lead the family business,
to ensure its longevity for the generations to come. That's
the way it's always been with the men in our family.
You marry for the good of the business.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I love him, Dad.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
It doesn't matter. You think you'll have a better life
running off with this new boyfriend of yours, that all
your problems will magically disappear. You can't run from what's
in your blood.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
What do you care if I run, I'm giving you
an out. You've always favored Gigi.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Anyway, Oh no, no no, Inju and Gigi against each
other on purpose. She made you a better con. You've
always needed an extra push, Fernando, even if you didn't
know it.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
This is exactly what I'm doing. I didn't need an
extra push. I needed my life is in some game.
Come on, Indy, let's get out of here.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Ah, you can try to protect your boyfriend from me. Fernando,
but can you protect him from you?
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Okay, I can do this. I got this.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
Good afternoon, horn, delightful to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Gg. I trust Fernando no matter his history.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
In our session a few weeks ago, you told me
that our past shouldn't define her present.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
So that doesn't mean we should ignore it either.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I believe people can change.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
I have people can change, but Fernando won't one.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It's made Fernando, Hi, Hi, Hey, Hey, it's everything.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay you've seen No?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Fine?
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Yeah, no, never better? You know?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
How are you?
Speaker 6 (05:18):
What did you and Indy head off to? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, we went to we went to go talk to
my dad.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Actually, I'm guessing you too, didn't bond over a couple
of beers.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, I told him the truth about Gigi out conning
us about leaving the family business. I'm and that I'm
in love with you.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
You said what?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I said, I love you one, and I need you
to know that I care about you more than I
care about.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
The stupid job, honestly. For no, this is this is
everything I've ever wanted.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh why do I feel like there's a butt at
the end of that sentence?
Speaker 6 (05:52):
But I can't.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I don't want you to be thinking what if as
we start our future together?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No I won't.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I think you will.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
And that's okay. This is all you've ever known. But
I think in order to move on you have to
close down this chapter for good.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, what are you suggesting?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, take back the con what to prove to yourself
that you can do it?
Speaker 6 (06:17):
Know what ifs?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And once we have the painting, we say screw you
to everybody and start our life together.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What did I do to deserve you?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Who says he deserves me?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, okay, you're the boss. Then what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, we need a plan of attack.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
The transaction is taking place on Leonard Burton's yacht doc
just north of Chelsea peuse exclusive invite list high security,
but the water traffic on the Hudson will be high
at that time of day, so we should be able
to blend in with the smaller marine vessels and monitor
the transaction from the jet skis at a safe distance.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Oh wait, why.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Don't we just take the painting before or the transaction
actually happens?
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Cut Gigi off him.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
No, we wanted to think she's one. I know gg
she gets lazy when she thinks the job is.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
In the bag. She'll have her guard down. It's the
perfect time of strike. Phase two. Find a way on board.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Do you still have that a fancy suit from when
we stuck into the museum.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That won't be enough.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
The guest list on that yacht will be iron clad
unless you're a pretty girl. Leonard has a weakness for
younger women. The boat staff will have already been hired,
so we could try posing as dock workers.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Maybe there's no way in hell I'll pass the dock worker. Okay,
people will spot that bluff from am all.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Away A bluff one, that's it.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Okay, I don't follow.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Leonard isn't just a showman with his money.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
He's a gambler.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Every party he's.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Ever thrown always involves an elaborate poker game with insane stakes.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Which means I'll sneak.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
On board as a poker dealer. I've got the perfect
disguise for it.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Okay, but Leonard knows who you are.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
I still got a few tricks up my sleeve. Have
you ever see that movie Face Off with John Travolta?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (07:59):
You can do that?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Well, it's not as complicated these days prosthetic makeup, a
lace wig.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Leonard will be so focused on the game he'll barely
be paying attention to my face.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
Well, but what about me?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well you, Chilito, Well someone's got to wear that fancy
suit and we both know you will look damn fine
in it.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, so we're on board. Phase three, locate Delano.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Leonard's security detail will have stored the Delano somewhere secure
on board. It'll be heavily guarded, so we need a
reason for him to bring it out and show it
off to everyone. We need to get Leonard to use
the Delano as collateral in the poker game.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I'm terrible card games, not to mention, I have absolutely
no poker face.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh, which, it's fine. I'll feed you cards.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
We'll make sure you lose the first round, make Leonard
think he has the upper hand, and then you raise
the steaks by.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Betting on the Delano.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
And if I win.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Leonard plays dirty, but he's a man of his word.
It's the one thing he prides himself on.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Chulito. If you win, that painting is ours.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Well, what about Gigi?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The second the painting's put on the table, She'll be
on high alert.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Welcome to phase four. A distraction.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You fake a medical emergency, I recommend heart palpitations, a
little flaming.
Speaker 8 (09:06):
In the mouth.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
It's showing and it'll cause enough chaos on board to
lose Gigi and make our way up to the helipad
with the paint.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Wait helipad as in helicopter.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, I will be waiting for you in the Hold
on a second.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What you can fly a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Well, it's easier than flying a jet, trust.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Me, Fernando. If Gigi spots one of us, it's game over.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I think we need a bigger distraction, something something, not
something someone?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Well, who are you calling?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Hold on our distraction?
Speaker 7 (09:42):
Shit, Juan, you're alive. What William said? You extended your
mental health a sabbatical? I don't buy it. You and
Fernando or on baking.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Aren't yo where parrots grease Abiza?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
No, actually, Stephanie, Uh, Fernando and I are having a
little staycation in the city and we wanted to invite
you to an event tonight, exclusive guest list art world
A listers only. I'm there, all right, I'll take see
the details.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
That is genius. If anybody can give gg a run
for our money.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
By the time anyone realizes something's off, we'll be sailing
into the horizon, or I mean, flying off into the sunset,
on our way to our own new life.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
People call stress, Why are you okay?
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Yeah, no, I'm good. I'm good. I'm totally good.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
To look like you're gonna be sick. One this this
whole thing is not worth it.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It is, it is, Okay, there's just there's just one
one problem. I can't I can't swim. I'm terrified have
open water.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Okay, well, look, don't worry about that. Once you're on
the boat, you'll be fine. I'll keep you safe until
we get you on board. You trust me, right, but for.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Hm of course, of course.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
And I'm like, of course I trust you.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Innoculous Here, careful, you'll look off the prosthetics. I feel
like I'm in a jets key with Ron Burgundy.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, cut the motive. I can see Gen Leonard, they're
talking on the first floor deck. Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
And the painting it looks like it's.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Concealed in a thin cardboard case. Pay just take around
the edges.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I hope. You mean double wall corrugated cardboard casing with
the foam lighting and climate protection seal.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Do you want to see?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Oh no, no, thank you, no, no thanks, painter's tape
on a seventeenth century masterpiece.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I might vomit.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Okay, well you look a little great. You're still nervous
about the whole open water thing.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh me, yeah, it's just you know, the whole not
being able to swim thing.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
I'm sure. I'm sure I'll be more comfortable once I'm
on board.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, we are almost there, Chilito, Cheechi and Leonard are
wrapping up. Just a few more seconds and transaction complete.
You just passed the painting all up to one of
his lackies.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Okay, now what well?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Are you ready to put on that fancy suit of yours?
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Ready as I'll ever be to put on a three
piece suit on the back of a jet ski with
Steve BUCHEMI are you sure you can't come through the main.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
Interest with you?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I'm sorry, Chulito.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I am staff today, but I will see you at
the poker table. This is it one, the last call,
I promise.
Speaker 11 (12:58):
The last one one done.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You're doing the right thing. This is the right choice,
and you're doing that.
Speaker 12 (13:05):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Networking is a bitch.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Luckily I'm an expert, Stephanie. I can't believe I'm saying this,
but thank god you're here.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Wouldn't miss it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I hear Christoph Werner for Berlin is here.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Sorry, you're right, I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Except it's not just a party. Is this like a
sex thing?
Speaker 7 (13:58):

Speaker 3 (13:58):
No, Stephanie, No, I think I'm about to ask you
possibly the biggest favor of my life, and I need
you to trust me. There's something really important I need

a freaking NDA.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Wait are you Vinnie Mardy? Who's asking, right, Marty? Sorry?
I got a cousin named Vinnie, and you know you
remind me of him.
Speaker 13 (14:37):

Get problems, poor guy, Brokes. H So the staff and
agency sent you here something what they think? I can't
do my job all of a sudden?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Oh no, no, no, I'm not here to take your job.

Your goom body agency sent me because you missed a
signature on the last page of the NBA Big problem,

Speaker 13 (15:45):
Let's get this thing signed.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hey, let's do it in here. And I can't be

Speaker 11 (15:59):

A networking event and a revenge plot?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Have you met me?

Okay?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Now, look my cover is British art mogo Edwin Boncroft.
I'm gonna stop you right there, horn.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Look at the doorman.
Speaker 10 (16:35):
He's letting in every girl with a short skirt and
a dumb laugh.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Easy as playing the book.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I got this, Stephanie.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Are you sure, Stephanie? I'm on the list. So that
we don't have to make this whole thing a thing.
Names Hi, am some.
Speaker 10 (16:46):
This is a cute little art party that Daddy Lenny
is throwing right, okay, excuse.
Speaker 13 (16:50):
Me, miss your names.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
So Lenny Lenny Burton, do you know him?
Speaker 7 (16:57):
So?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Like he told me to not even.
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Worry about a gain because I'm always welcome in Daddy's house,
like always welcome because.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Look at me.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Fine you go, he stays, Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (17:13):
But also this is my thirsty Edwin and he's like
such a cutie and my total emotional support gay and
I can't go anywhere without him. Yes, of course, I
have really really bad social anxiety.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I need him with me, please, Okay.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Okay, he is lucky, You're hot. Welcome on board. Holy shit, Steffani,
I can't.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Believe that worked.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Of course it did.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Straight men are the worst, that's true, look Siphany. I
promise we'll find that German artist, but first I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
All in the corn.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
I got you.
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Hurry up and do your thing because I just fought
a gig and.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That hideous red coat.
Speaker 15 (17:58):
Bye.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
Okay, what it's now or never?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You're playing like a chap, mister Burton.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
Don't I always though, I must say, all this winning
is starting to wear thin. I'm craving something new, something exciting,
something challenging.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
If you're looking for a challenge, then i'd.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Recommend dealing me in Ah, and you are bored, honestly?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Are you ready to make a wager?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Or has your lust for adventure fizzled like your mid
Prish champagne?
Speaker 9 (18:39):
Oh now that's what I'm talking about, nill a gentleman
in Did you hear me?
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Dealer?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Of course right away?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Name's Bancroft, Edwin Bancroft.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
I thought you said you'd pose a challenge with the bankraft.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Well I never claimed to have met my match. But
how about one more game? And this time let's raise
the stakes in drigging. What did you have in mind?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Well, a little birdie in a short skirt downstairs told
me you've recently acquired a genuine Delano in demand commodity.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
These days, word spreads fast, all.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Or nothing for the painting.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Winner of the next round gets a shiny new centerpiece
for the mantle Mima.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Now that is interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That is, unless, of course, you're done else seeking for
the day, which is understandable.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
The sun's barely setting, and I can do this all night.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Oh see you accept.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Ah, You're either a complete jack, said Wyn Bancraft, or
my new favorite competitor. Get ready for the game of
your life.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Shall we.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Delano's composition work in Vietri sul Mare is exemplary, won't
you say, mister Betton?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Almost as exemplary as my last hand, right, mister Burton,
your hand first? Straight flush a. Apologies, mister Bancroft.
Speaker 11 (20:51):
I'm afraid the night just is in your night.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
The funny thing about Margaret Delano's work is that up
close the colors she chose don't work.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
They clash and fight to.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
One another, like they've been painted by someone looking through
a prism. But as you step back, they start to
blend together, like a symphony. The waves, then the sand,
the elements all merged to form a perfect union, much
like this.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
What are you hiding, mister Bancraft.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
Oh, loyal flush ah, as I see it.
Speaker 15 (21:37):
I have two options, mister Bancraft. Option one, I throw
you overboard with a chair tied to your ankle and
pretend this game never happened. Option two, I give you
the painting, because I'm a man of my word.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Well, the painting is yours, Edwin Bancraft. Lucky for me,
I have this dealer eating out of the palm of
my hand. Next game is mine.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Dig right here, Leonard.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
Saw mister Bankrft here to his prize. Looks like the
Delano has found another home for now.
Speaker 16 (22:17):
That was a hell of a game, mister Bancroft, at
least the part I caught. Let's take a little stroll,
inspect the merchandise.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It was a pleasure doing business with you, mister.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Be indeed and make sure you join us on the
downstairs deck in a few minutes.
Speaker 11 (22:34):
Wouldn't want you to miss a summer sunset.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
Over the hudside. Of course, we'll be down in a
jiff next dalling Gigi. Please don't do anything stupid.
Speaker 16 (22:57):
Me never one crest. That was a greade acon, smooth, slick, confident.
Everything I taught you in our sessions was on full display.
You deserve that painting, one, especially after what phedenomenaill put
you through.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Oh my god, after you.
Speaker 11 (23:27):
Pyetri, It's wow.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
It still takes my breath away.
Speaker 16 (23:34):
God one, you're so genuine. I always thought that was
a liability in this line of work. But that show
you put on up there masterful. You really believed you
were Edwin Bancroft, and so did everyone else.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Gigi, you know I have to walk off this boat
with this painting. Everyone saw me win it fair and square,
so I'm gonna take it now, nice and slowly.
Speaker 16 (24:01):
One, I have a proposition for you.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
Excuse me.
Speaker 16 (24:08):
Forget the Ernando work with me. You and I did
this together. Whether or not you realize it or not,
we would make an amazing team.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
One, Stephanie, I'll be a second.
Speaker 16 (24:22):
Okay, come in, Stephanie, join us.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
No, Stephanie, Oh my god?
Speaker 16 (24:28):
Is that I was just offering Juan a little deal?
And yes, I know you two are working together.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
What are you talking about? I'm here to network and
that's girl.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
You can do better than that.
Speaker 16 (24:39):
I recognize you from the museum the second you side
it up to me at the bar. You're smart, that's sure,
but not this pretentious Galerina act with all that vacant article.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Okay, hey, let her go.
Speaker 17 (24:57):
No, it's your last lesson.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
One.
Speaker 17 (25:01):
Make the choice.
Speaker 16 (25:02):
What's it gonna be afraid for your painting?
Speaker 17 (25:06):
You make a choice. One?
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Why are you in here?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh my god? Who did this to you?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Right right right?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay, what did you say?
Speaker 16 (25:38):
I said, why don't you ask one and his new partner?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's where is he? That's what I'm asking you? Where
is he?
Speaker 16 (25:45):
Why do you look like Steve Buscemi?
Speaker 6 (25:47):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh my god?
Speaker 16 (25:52):
What's like the student has officially become the teacher. Better
hurry because it sounds like that chopper is almost swarmed up?
Speaker 18 (26:00):
What what?
Speaker 7 (26:12):
What?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Scun?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
What?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Seventy's taking the paintings to missus Levingston in the Hudson
Valley where it belonged.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't understand. Why are you wearing a scuba suit?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
I thought you couldn't switch.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I lied something you're pretty familiar with. I realized what
we found the files, and you're safe at the facility.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
That one's proving.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You push Gigi out of the airplane, not the other
way around. You left her to rot in a cell
in Zurich. What kind of person does that to their
own family. I don't have anything left to say.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I trusted and I trusted you. I guess we both
made that mistake.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, and I was doing this for you, not for
my dad, not for Gig. I didn't care about the painting. Anymore.
I cared about you.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You're just like the Delano from far away. You're gorgeous
and well composed, but up close the colors just clash
for dominance.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
You're literally at war with yourself.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Fernando, and I understand how that feels.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I was there for a really, really.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Long time, but I'm not there anymore, and I don't
think I can be with someone who is.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Just give me a chance.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Goodbye, Fernando.
Speaker 15 (27:29):
What Just?
