You know, we can't even place a value on most of these pieces of history. They're each one-of-a-kind.

Is all your memorabilia in this room?
memorabilia 記念品
Well, most of it's concentrated in here, but we also have championship trophies and retired jerseys throughout the building.
Got to be millions of square feet to cover.
We should get blueprints. Hey. Slugger.
Right. Uh, could we trouble you for building plans and a chart of the display cases and security cameras?
could we trouble you ご迷惑おかけしますが
Sure. Why don't you wait here while I pull it all together? I, uh -- I get the feeling you'd like to look around a little more.
Thanks, Geoffrey.
Sure.
Go ahead.
Being here, all this... reminds me of watching games with my dad.
Your dad take you to a lot of games?
No. Mostly we'd watch them on TV. He'd run an extension cord out to the porch, put on our Yankee caps, crack open a beer.
extension cord 延長コード porch ベランダ
Way to go, dad.
Well, root beer for me. During commercials, we'd throw the ball around.
Sounds like something to go home for.
It is. And when I go back, we still do it. Except now I drink real beer. Oh, man. What I'd pay to have that bat in my collection.
I bet it's a lot of money for that piece of wood.
"Piece of wood"?
Yeah. I mean, take away the fact that DiMaggio swung it, it's just a bat.
But some guy named Pollock can splatter paint on a canvas and you think it's worth millions of dollars.
"Splatter paint on a canvas"? You stand in front of one of Pollock's works, the chaos fades away and you see the discipline, the balance of restraint and abandon.
discipline 規律 restraint 自制 abandon 放棄
Like when DiMaggio stepped up to the plate.
step up to 近づく
Great art has a broader meaning. It captures a time, a place, an emotion.
This bat was used to set the all-time hit-streak record the same year Hirohito bombed Pearl Harbor. For four, five at-bats a day, Joltin' Joe let Americans forget that we were going to war.
A time, a place, an emotion.
This bat, those balls, these pennants got this country through some tough times. They still do. Gives us something to root for. And if you work hard, swing for the fences... Ah. ...anything's possible.
root 支援の手を差し伸べる
That's how you feel about baseball?
That's how a lot of people feel about baseball.
Yankees security is sending over more surveillance footage.
Great. Where's Caffrey?
Prepping for his audition for Taylor's crew.
A bit like putting a drink in the hands of an alcoholic.
Reformed alcoholic, I know. And it's more like a bottle. But putting Caffrey side by side with someone like Taylor is the best way to nail him. Here's some surveillance from the hotel. Yes, I know. It's Mozzie. He's Neal's in.
How convenient.
Mm-hmm. So long as he stays on our side, we don't ask questions. We've granted Mozzie immunity.
To preserve his street cred, you want us to arrest him if we catch him?
cred 社会的信用性
And make it look real.
Oh, I will.
Same for Caffrey. Taylor knows a lot about Neal, but our backstop has held up.
backstop 最終手段 hold up 説得力を持つ
That he was released two years ago but remains a person of interest in a number of elegant high-profile crimes.
a person of interest 容疑者
Any other questions? Good. Let's make the Yankees proud.
Billiards. Couldn't be a better audition.
Don't get cocky. The man is unparalleled. He has won the Taylor World Championship so many times they named the tournament after him.
unparalleled 比類がない
Are you jealous?
I'm ecstatic for him. It gives me hope knowing that Taylor and his villa on the French Riviera even exist. Of course I want to be him.
ecstatic 熱狂的な
I assume his game is eight ball.
Oh, it is. Winning is important, but more so, he says he can learn everything he needs to know about you by how you play pool. How competitive you are, what risks you take, your level of confidence...
Did you get any more info on what he's after?
Oh, Taylor is true to his rep. He promises no details until the game is afoot.
afoot 実行中
It's a good way to keep a crew honest.
Yeah. We could learn a lot from him. Oh, and when you meet him, he's gonna give you a big bear hug. It seems like he's just being effusive, because he is. But what he's really doing is --
effusive 熱烈な
giving me the pat-down.
Exactly.
Got it.
Oh, that must be your cue.
That's my cue 私の出番です。
To do what?
No, I mean your new cue.
Hello.
Hi, June.
Now, while I still have serious reservations about your participation, I felt compelled to give you the best shot at success.
compelled to せざるを得ない
Gentlemen, may I present Lord Byron.
June, I love you. I mean, Byron must have run the tables with this.
You know, for some reason, every great con man in the world needs to master the game of pool at some point in his life.
I was 9 years old. There was a pool hall on my way home from school.
A pool hall in St. Louis, Missouri. Must have been full of hustlers.
Yeah.
I was one of them.
Neal.
Thank you.
Hi, Peter.
Hi, Sara.
What's going on, aside from that mustard stain about to happen?
Oh. Thank you. Can I get you anything?
No.
Here you go. No, that's all right. The board is putting together a list of character witnesses for Neal's commutation hearing.
I'm sorry -- his what?
He didn't mention that to you?
No. Commutation hearing? So Neal might be set free?
It's possible.
And why would they do that?
After Keller's arrest, the board of corrections recommended an early release for Neal.
Well, good for him.
Yeah.
Only Caffrey, huh?
Well, could be. It's far from settled.
How do you think it's gonna go?
The board knows that you testified against Neal at his trial.
Yes -- I was very upset about that Raphael back then.
Oh, but somehow, you were able to get past that far enough to start dating him.
So if I testify, my relationship with Neal is likely to come up as public record?
It might get a little uncomfortable.
No, no, no. It's not the relationship, Peter. It's why we broke up that poses the problem. I'm gonna assume pleading the fifth is not ideal at these hearings.
pose 提議する plead 主張する
No. No, it's not.
Honestly, I don't know where Neal and I stand right now.
You might want to think about it.
Here comes your 2:00.
Hi. Neal Caffrey.
Welcome. So, uh, you're a pool player.
Yeah, I like to play. Of course, I don't know if I'm in your league.
Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there? Let me just finish up. You're up.
