Mallory, you're in way over your head.

Think this through.

You've been out of control

since you've arrived.

You need to call Kenneth.

Excuse me. I should take this.

Pauly?

So, is the divorce final?

Paul, are you there?

Mallory.

- Hello.

- Dad, it's Mal.

Things are kind of screwed up here

and I need to come home.

It may take me a couple of days,

depending on what happens.

Don't worry about me,

you just get here as quick as you can.

I'll try.

Keep your eyes open.

I haven't shut my eyes since you were born.

Just be careful.

And watch your six.

I will.

I'll see you at the house.

- Can I get this cell phone?

- It's 42.50.

There you go.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Get over there. Let's go. Come on.

Rodrigo. Hi, it's Mallory Kane.

- Mallory Kane.

- I hope it's not too late.

I just landed in New York.

Do you have a minute?

I just felt like I had to call.

I was going over my report,

and I realized

I never thanked you for all your help.

It's really not necessary.

It's not even customary.

Well, it should be.

But I just wanted to verify one thing

with you before I actually file my report.

Was it you or Ken neth

who sold the Barcelona job to Studer?

Rodrigo.

What are you working so late for?

It's what, past 8: 00, your time?

Yeah. Listen, Mallory Kane just called me.

I thought you should know.

- Wait, she called you at home?

- Yes.

Was that a nice conversation?

Yeah, yeah, very nice.

Brief, but very nice. Yeah.

She thanked me for my assistance.

She still in Dublin?

She said she just landed in New York.

Good.

Good. Well,

why don't you stay off your house line,

and I wouldn't go outside till I call you back.

Or your family.

- I see. Thank you.

- All right.

Rodrigo, you take care, all right?

Yeah, sure. Bye.

Tyler, the activity log

for the number that I just sent you,

I want you to connect me

to the last incoming call.

Who is this?

Mallory, hi. My name is Alex Coblenz.

I was with Kenneth and Rodrigo

when the Barcelona deal went down.

Who else besides you knows about this?

No, only the people

that need to know in order to fix it.

The people who thought up Barcelona.

Mallory, we did not think up Barcelona.

No, you just helped.

- Can you bring me in?

- We can, yes,

but I'd like you

to keep doing what you're doing.

We want you to bust Kenneth's budget,

you know, see how he reacts.

Everyone he reaches out to,

you know, it's like another layer.

What do you think he's into?

Well, whatever it is,

Kenneth is not at the top.

It's just not possible. We like Studer.

We think there's something there.

You gotta get me off the watch list.

Mallory, I cannot do that.

You know, while Kenneth's watching,
