Perhaps Akira Kurosawa's most famous film in the West, Rashomon tells the story of a rape and murder through the lens of four different individuals the first three with varying accounts with their own spin. The episode title, "The Rashomon Job," gives away the premise, but the resulting episode exceeded every expectation.
We're shown accounts from the grifter, hacker, hitter, thief, and finally the mastermind--Nate--each being there for the Dagger of Aqu’abi. Except for Nate, who was still the straight insurance investigator at that time, we see them cop to the crime, and true to Rashomon, they embellish their stories to enhance their appearance and reputation. In the end, none of them manage to steal the dagger, but Nate uncovers that the dagger is a fake.
The Moreau thing completely fell to the wayside since the first four episodes, but he was mentioned this week in passing, so we know the writers haven't given up on it completely. From the description of next week's episode, it looks like the team will finally start working on him.
Score: 9.5/10
