Complete Recap and Spoilers of In Plain Sight S02E14 – Once a Ponzi Time
Wall Street one month ago
A snooty Brit talks on his blue tooth to someone from his corner office, bragging that other fund managers are cowards and now is the time to invest everything. A white collared associate looks on in awe, until he closes by telling his client that whatever he does, don’t invest with his firm – Arnie Ford is a thief and the client will lose every cent. Arnie doesn’t find this funny.
Off the phone, the Brit calls him out for bankrupting the firm and ruining the Ashmore firm’s name. The FBI comes in to arrest Arnie. He tells Ashmore he just made the biggest mistake of his life.
Phillip and Camille Ashmore enter the program as Phillip and Camille Andrews.
Mary and Marshall sign program papers. Even though Phillip had nothing to do with it, people still want him dead. Phillip beats himself up for not realizing what Arnie was doing, grieving over giving up his family name and feeling tremendous guilt. Camille, his wife, doesn’t think he’ll be able to give up the name, his birthright. He’s the last Ashmore, his parents died in a ferry accident in Asia when he was in college. Mary notes that Camille takes insulin and will handle transfer of the prescription.
Mary explains that WITSEC cleans medical records and usually gives a six month stipend for health insurance. She assumes the rich Ashmores won’t be needing that.
But Phillip explains that he wants to sign all of his wealth over to the victims of Arnie’s fraud. All of it. “This is the only meaningful gesture I can make at this point,” he says. That’s $137 million.
The wife isn’t fighting it.
Marshall tells him it’s the most selfless act of contrition he’s ever heard of and he’s to be admired. Mary, on the other hand, thinks he’s a”dumba–.”
Present Day M & M eat lunch. He reads an article about a rich old dude marrying a young flight attendant, which gives her opening to ask Marshall if he did get married, would he tell his wife about the job? No – it’s against regulations. He guesses that Mary already told Raph. He’s not thrilled that by outing herself, she’s outed him.
Camille calls with a flat tire. Mary goes to help. Marshall seethes.
Mary makes short work of the tire and takes Camille to work. On the drive, Camille says she’s doing OK but she wishes Phillip would get a job.
Later that night in the office, Mary muses about being rich and going poor as Marshall pointedly ignores her. Phillip calls, distressed. He thinks he made a mistake giving the money away. He wants $5 million – quickly. She starts the papework
Mary arrives home to find the house empty. She finds a Google search about WITSEC on a laptop. Raph comes home and she grills him on it. He was curious and now that he knows what she does, he thinks she shouldn’t have told him. He goes to bed angry.
The next morning, M & M take the financial paperwork to Phillip. He’s acting squirrelly and won’t let them in to see Camille, who he says isn’t feeling well. She needs to sign the paperwork so he asks them to come back later. He says his car is in the shop, something about a carburator. But Marshall knows his car is fuel injected.
They get suspicious and insist on seeing Camille. He tries to shoo them away, but they force their way in. Camille is nowhere to be seen.
He says she left him, but all her clothes are still there.
They take him to the office. He says they fought about money last night and he has no idea where she is. Stan’s gone, speaking at a law enforcement conference.
They get an alert that someone found Camille’s abandoned car. Dershowitz meets them there. They find it booted in a parking lot with the keys and her purse inside – including her insulin. Now they know it’s bad. Dershowtiz wants to know more and Marshall snidely suggests he ask Mary’s fiance for information.
At the office, they put the screws to Phillip. They know he lied about her coming home because the car was there since yesterday. They accuse him of killing his wife. But he says last night a man called saying he had Camille and he wanted $5 million.
Mary isn’t happy to be the last to know about the kidnapping.
She gets Eleanor to set a watch on the insulin prescription. Eleanor reports that they aren’t having much luck tracing the number that made the call. They get Phillip back to the motel in case he’s being watched. Eleanor senses the M & M tension and says it’s difficult to watch.
M & M hunker down in the motel, listening in on the phones and waiting in awkwardness. They break the tension slightly by discussing motel TV porn titles. (“Rachel gets Larryed” stands out.) They get an alert on the computer that someone filled the insulin. Mary calls to send a team there.
The kidnapper calls, saying Phillip has until Camille needs her next shot to get him the money.
In their room, M & M check out the pharmacy footage. It’s someone in a hoodie who paid with cash. But the bills look new and they think they might be able to trace them to an ATM using the serial numbers. “God, don’t you just love Big Brother?” Mary says.
Mary hears a pounding on the door outside. It’s Dershowitz, having tracked down Phillip as the owner of the car. He wants to know what’s going on. Marshall says he couldn’t tell him. He looks at Mary, adding, that’d be against the rules. Dershowitz asks what’s wrong with them. “We’ve been trying to get pregnant,” Mary says sarcastically, “the strain’s getting to us.”
Treasury has traced the bills to a New Mexico bank. The account is based in Blacksburg, W. Va. to a guy named Randy Murray. Dershowtiz puts out an APB.
A little database searching shows that Randy Murray had a brother named Roy who died in a ferry accident – Phillip’s college friend. They find that Phillip’s fund was sending Randy $10,000 a month for the past three years.
They ask Phillip just what happened on that boat. Phillip says Roy was his best friend – they even looked alike. When the boat capsized it was madness, 519 people trying to survive. His parents were below deck and stuck. He describes people climbing on each other, climbing on them and that Roy panicked and drowned.
He says he started paying Randy out of pure guilt. The payments stopped when Phillip entered the program and he called him to explain why. But Randy wanted more.
The next day Marshall mikes up Phillip as Mary packs up the money. Randy calls with instructions of where to drive. M & M head to the location using the back way.
Randy directs him to a railroad crossing in the middle of nowhere. Phillip gets out of his car but doesn’t see anyone for miles. Randy tells him to walk across the tracks and bring the money. M & M watch from a distance as Randy drives up on an ATV with Camille in front of him. Randy tells Phillip to get down on his knees on the tracks when, naturally, a train starts approaching. M & M move in, racing in their SUV to beat the train.
But they don’t get there in time and have to wait helplessly on the other side of the tracks as the train speeds by.
When it finally passes they see Phillip and Camille, hugging each other, alive, with Randy nowhere in sight.
Later, Dershowitz reports that the helicopter has an eye on Randy. Mary get an interesting call from Eleanor and asks to speak with Phillip.
Turns out that Roy was an accomplished swimmer in college. He wouldn’t panic in the water. That’s what Randy had on “Phillip”, his real identity.
Phillip/Roy describes the scene after the ferry accident, with all the Ashmores dead and him looking at the bodies laid out somewhere. He’d lost his passport and an official came over and gave him Phillip’s, thinking that’s who he was. Then the British consulate came up and said everything was arranged for his first class flight back, he just went along with it. Phillip had been in boarding school for years, even his own family didn’t recognize him. He says that the Ashmores were such good people and their name deserved to go on, while he was nothing.
It worked for years until Randy saw his picture in the paper and tracked him down. He says Camille doesn’t know. Mary’s pretty sure it’ll come out at trial when she testifies against his brother for kidnapping. Mary tells him she’s his wife, he has to tell her.
“So, that’s a new one, we gave a fake identity to a man who already had one,” Marshall says. There was no theft, he actually grew the estate considerably.
“Think he’ll drop the accent?” Mary asks. “Not a chance,” says Marshall.
Later at the office, Marshall plays drunk on-line chess. Mary notes he’s getting whupped. He tells Mary he’s smart, he knows things, like why she told Raphael her job. He says it was to paint herself into a corner because she was afraid she might back out of marrying him.
“Congratulations, Matlock, you’ve keenly observed that I’m somewhat relationship-phobic,” she tells him. “And yet the conclusion you’ve drawn couldn’t be more off-the-mark.”
She refuses to accept that the criminals she works with are more trustworthy than the man she’s going to marry.
At home, Mary takes off her gun and climbs into bed with Raph. She brought him a present. It’s a book, with a paperbag book cover titled “The Perfect Book for Dominican ex-short stops,” but is really a book on WITSEC. But he’ll read it later, he kisses her instead.
