Pick a card. Any card.
What does this have to do with our property-fraud scam?
You'll have the whole thing cracked before I can say ta-da.
Pick a deed. Now what?
Now I take these 51 deeds and figure out which one you took. It's not magic. It's math.
We go through the title company's records, match them with the realtor's, and figure out which one is missing.
realtor 不動産仲介業者
Ta-da.
Nice work. But here's another case we need to make disappear.
Selena Thomas. Who's she?
Devoted serial monogamist who marries wealthy men right before they die.
Devoted 献身的な
A black widow.
widow 夫を亡くした人
Could be. She has four rich late husbands.
She gets around.
get around 付き合いが広い
And now she's finally getting around to New York.
Quite the Queen of Hearts.
Cute.
You like that?
Move it, Copperfield.
Their deaths are listed as natural -- heart attack, embolism, skydiving accident.
embolism 塞栓症
What about the fourth guy?
We're waiting on the L.A. Bureau to send their report.
Four husbands, four dead bodies. We think she's killing them, but we don't know why.
They're not leaving her all their money?
Nope. That's what you'd expect. But she's not collecting on any of the insurance payoffs. We flagged her name on this. It's an application for the Manhattan Millionaire Society Bachelors Auction. If she's gonna be at this auction, then so are we. Club has three open slots for eligible men. That means I need three volunteers. Neal, raise your hand.
eligible ふさわしい
Do I have to?
Yes. There's our first lucky bachelor. Come on. We'll create very irresistible identities for you guys.
irresistible 抑えきれない
Yeah, then hope she doesn't kill her latest boy toy before we find the money.
boy toy 愛人としての若い男
That's a hand. Jones is number two.
No, Peter, I didn't
One more. Come on. It's only a cover. Who's number three?
How about you, Peter? I mean, you seem like the marrying kind, right?
I am married.
Hey... It's only a cover.
Be nice to give her some variety. Unless --
Guys, guys, unless, you know, you need permission.
I don't -- I don't -- no, I -- O-okay, fine. I'll do it.
All right.
Let's set it up.
Are you scared to tell Elizabeth?
Terrified.
My role in the assignment's minimal.
minimal 最小の
Right. You're playing Piece of Meat Number 2. You're gonna flirt --
Piece of Meat 体格のいい人
Talk. I'm gonna talk to them.
And then you're gonna walk across a stage while these women are bidding on you.
El, my chances of being picked are slim to none between Neal and --
slim to none 可能性はほとんどない
Wait. Hold on. Your chances are not slim. Honey, look at you.
I'm holding poop.
And you look damn sexy doing it. You know what?
What?
You're gonna win this thing.
I am?
Yeah. I'm gonna make sure of it. Come on.
What's the grand prize on this?
I get to take a very lovely, very dangerous woman out on a date.
Hmm. It's nothing you can't handle.
Thanks to you.
Uh, we, actually, have never been on a date.
Peter and Elizabeth's house.
Dinner date. Not date date.
Define date date.
One-on-one.
What about lunches?
Lunch is not romantic. Lunch is lunch.
We've never been on a real date.
It's okay. What's your cover?
Playboy son of a Texas oil tycoon.
tycoon 大物
Oh, well! I like the accent.
I'm glad you do, ma'am.
There's gonna be a very big problem, though.
What's that?
All the women are gonna want you, so what happens when your killer gets outbid?
outbid より高い値をつける
I see your point.
You're gonna have to throw your meetings with all the other women.
How do I do that?
Well, we are very shallow creatures, but there are things that even beautiful men like you do that drive us nuts.
shallow 浅はかな drive someone nuts 気を狂わせる
Oh, you're good.
All right, honey, let's go over this again. You are...
Peter Williams, U.S. steel magnate.
magnate 大物
Mm.
And tell me more about the steel industry.
Well, it began as a family business.
Boring, boring, boring. What did we discuss?
Right. Uh, you don't want to hear about what I do. I really want to know more about you.
And why are you still single?
Haven't found the right woman yet.
Who might this right woman be?
Oh, well, she's about 5'5, brunette, most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen, smart as a whip, and gorgeous as hell.
as smart as a whip 聡明でとても頭が切れる
Aww. Perfect. Okay. Remember, this is a conversation, not an interrogation, so you got to move away from the where are you froms and what do you dos, and, honey, don't make that face.
What face?
That face. Right. Yes. Be yourself. You're gonna be great.
Okay. Thanks, hon.
Bye.
See ya.
Oh. Have we, uh, met?
I don't believe we have. Arthur Fort, pastry baron to a multimillion-dollar dessert empire. Ladies love the sweets.
You ready?
Are you?
Gentlemen, we are about to begin. I will make the announcement, and when I give you the go-ahead, you just take your places on the stairs, okay? Good luck.
give the go-ahead for ゴーサインを出す
Okay, ladies, I have only one question for you! Are you ready to meet your men?
Men! Men! Men!
Why do I feel like I need a pike and sword?
pike やり
For those about to date... We salute you.
salute 敬意を表する
Okay, ladies, you'll have five minutes to talk to each man. When the bell sounds... ...you simply move on to the next. Now, why don't you go ahead and check your invitations for the proper rotation.
invitation 招待状 proper 正確な
You ever done anything like this before?
Yes.
What do you look for?
Mm. Tall, dark, and handsome is fine with me. You can also tell a lot about a man by his smile, how confident or counterfeit he can be.
confident 自信に満ちた counterfeit 偽の
Mm.
So what's your plan?
I'm gonna bomb every meeting except Selena.
bomb 失敗に終わる
Mm. You're afraid you'll cause a frenzy.
frenzy 激高
I'm narrowing the odds. What's your approach?
I'm going for the frenzy. I'm gonna try to charm every one of them. I want good word of mouth.
good word of mouth 良い評判
Sure.
Peter.
I'm gonna maintain eye contact and remember it's a conversation, not an interrogation.
maintain 保つ
That's all good, but what you want to do, you want to keep it up here when you talk, right? Down here, this is all second-date territory. Okay, so be yourself. Just be yourself up here.
And if you're holding a drink, keep it in your left hand. That way, when you shake her hand with your right, your first touch won't be cold.
Yeah, it is cold.
One final reminder -- Some of the men have been known to propose on the very night of the auction, so, please, don't forget to check their pockets for engagement rings. Okay, millionaires, the moment all these beautiful ladies have been waiting for. On your marks, get set... date!
Hi. Where were you before New York?
Cleveland.
Fascinating. Tell me more about Cleveland.
I-it's in Ohio.
I made my first batch of chocolate-chip cookies when I was 5 years old. I've never looked back.
You seem passionate about pastry.
I'm passionate in everything I do.
Nothing compares to it.
Hunting deer?
Fawns, actually -- the babies.
Fawn 子鹿
Are you serious?
Yeah, there's a certain thrill in the kill. And -- Oh. Oh, one second.
What are you doing?
Oh, ho. Hey, buddy! What's up? Hold on. I'm on a date.
Have a nice day.
Say hi.
