if you're coming

to her recital tonight.

Oh you know,

I can't.

Uh, I'm in the middle

of something right now.

Um, I gotta go.

Would you tell her for me?

You need to tell her.

So when we got back

to the hotel,

we discovered

the rug is too big for the suitcase.

So we decided

to leave the rug at the hotel

to be sent to us

when we got back home.

Turn right.

So we finally get home,

but we never got the rug.

Long story short,

we get a letter from the hotel

that said the rug had

been seized at Customs.

Now evidently

this rug had been stolen.

It was a 1,000-year-old

prayer rug,

and... and it was stolen,

but how was I to know?

I didn't know, and I'm the one

that's out $230.

Yeah, it was all very innocent,

as I'm sure

- you can now understand.

- I see.

- Lock him up.

- What?

- Let's go.

- What?

- Let's go.

- Get him out of here!

What? Wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

- This way.

- I have done nothing wrong!

- Come on. Move it.

- I have... l... l...

I haven't...

I haven't done anything!

Yo, this is the number

to this phone.

I want you to put

a trace on it.

I want the owner and an address.

Call me when you got it.

Okay.

Lieu, you looking

for me?

Explain the Wisconsin kid.

I set up a buy with the bad guys,

he got in the middle of it,

- now they think he's me.

- So you're telling me

- the guns are still in play.

- Yeah.

- How do you know this isn't a setup?

- With this guy?

- Yeah, with this guy.

- Not with this guy.

Okay, where is he?

He's in holding,

and he's gonna stay there.

Yes, Ma'am.

Sh*t.

They ate him already.

Caucasian gentlemen.

Big glasses.

Oh yeah, didn't have

the heart to put him in there.

Ah-ah!

Thank you.

- Come on.

- So, am I free to go now?

Go? Oh, hell no.

They're fixing a sh*t sandwich upstairs,

and you're

the mayonnaise.

Possession of a stolen weapon,

armed robbery and the Turkish

government wants

to have a little chat

with you before we're done.

Okay, I want to talk

to an attorney.

I get one phone call,

and I want to call an attorney.

Let me lay your options

out for you here...

You can come with me

as a Suspect Who's Cooperating,

or you can stay here

and get married tonight.

- So what's it gonna be?

- Okay, just so we're clear...

I am not choosing

to go with you.

I'm choosing

not to stay with them.

- Uh-huh.

- Okay.

Lag escort, first-time

session.

Hang on.

This is one

screwed up crew.

All right, just so

there's no confusion, here's the deal...

You're in my world now,

not yours.

And in my world, your responsibilities

begin and end with me.

And what would those

responsibilities be?

Well, these guys think you wanna

buy guns from them.
