It's unorthodox to give a forensic result
to a family member.
I'm a federal agent. I can handle it.
You can. But should you?
There are a lot of reasons this is a bad idea, Chris.
This investigation being the least of them.
No one will blame you
or judge you for handing this off.
I appreciate your concern,
both of you, but I need to find my brother's killers.
All right? I let him down. I... got to square it.
The fire did superficial damage.
Because of the humidity of the area
where the body was placed,
there was ample tissue left
to ascertain that
he was stabbed three times.
Could it have been a fight gone wrong?
It's unlikely.
Vital organs were targeted.
In my professional opinion, this was someone
who knew what they were doing
and had intent. Uh...
The end would have come very quickly.
LASALLE: You're thinking
The end would have come very quickly.
LASALLE: You're thinking
it was an assassin?
I can't say for sure, but the suspect
had training, experience.
Did you find anything else
that might help us, Miss Loretta?
Uh, the body...
Cade was set on the ground
before the fire was set.
The condition of the skin
that was in contact with the ground
and protected from the flame...
...indicates that,
uh, his body bled out someplace else
and then moved to the woods.
Christopher.
I'm good.
Well, I'm not.
Can I give you a hug?

WILL: No. No.
No.
I'm-I'm sorry. I can't find him.
Okay. Let's take a break.
I want to keep going.
It's my fault Cade went to talk to him in the first place.
It's not your fault. It's the fault of a guy
that got you caught up in something illegal to begin with.
Isn't there an easier way that we could find him?
HANNAH: There was a security camera at the park,
but someone vandalized it.
Probably because of the business that was going on there.
Can't we just hack into all the kids' phones or something?
Without a warrant, which we have no way to get right now,
that would be illegal.
SEBASTIAN: Will is halfway to a great idea.
How'd you get these?
Oh, it's called geotagging.
These kids put their entire lives online.
I just did a social media search for the basketball court.
Will, see if you can identify Shorty in any of those pictures.
WILL: Stop.
The guy in the back with the cell phone.
That's Shorty.
Nice work.
All right, I'll get with Patton,
start facial recognition.
Yeah.
I helped?
Yeah. Enough to earn you a donut.
Come on.
ROY: You folks have a walk-in.
I'm, uh, Lieutenant Landry,
Aviation Maintenance Duty Officer out of Stennis,
Special Projects.
And I'm Special Agent Hannah Khoury. How can we help you?
I'm working on a top secret project and, um...
Uh...
This-this was a bad idea. I'm so sorry.
No. Something brought you in here, something important.
Yes, uh, but it's complicated.
Whatever it is, it's probably better that you to come to us
instead of wait until we come and find you.
I just... I-I just don't want it to be true.
You don't want what to be true?
I think my girlfriend is spying on me.
Thank you.
Her name's Rina Rollins.
She's funny and smart and driven.
Yeah, she makes me laugh.
She's kind sometimes and other times she's as tough as nails.
From the moment we first met, it was like
we were meant for each other.
That's great,
but we need to know a little bit more
about why you think she might be spying.
I found these photos on her laptop.
What were you doing on her laptop?
MAX: I-I was trying to take a look at her schedule.
I was, uh...
going to propose to her and I wanted to make sure
I picked a good evening for us to go out.
What's this a photo of?
It's a page from the manual for the room-temperature
superconductor we're both working on.
Whoa.
I'm guessing the super thing has military value?
Whoa.
I'm guessing the super thing has military value?
Yeah, I mean, this-this could pave the way
for-for sustainable energy,
artificial intelligence, quantum computers.
Right? Magnetic levitation trains.
I mean, if someone can make this work, i-it'll be huge.
Yeah.
HANNAH: Well, if she has
top secret clearance, then what's the problem?
She doesn't.
Rina's tasked to develop the emission system,
which doesn't require a clearance.
I'm writing the manual for the machine itself, which does.
So then she got these images from you?
I-I know how this looks.
But there are a lot of other ways
she could have gotten these photos.
Maybe she borrowed a flash drive or maybe
I accidentally put them on a cloud folder.
Would you be that sloppy with top secret information?
Look,
I have my regularly-scheduled polygraph next week,
and I don't want to fail it because of my suspicions.
I just want you to prove Rina's clean so I can
pass my test and ask her
to spend the rest of her life with me.
First comes love, then comes polygraph.
Those pictures shouldn't be anywhere
but on a secure system or a laptop.
But that isn't enough to make a definitive judgement.
If we got her computer, we could put this to bed really quickly.
PRIDE: Yeah, if the girlfriend is spying,
we need to try and get to her handlers.
We should keep her in the dark as long as possible.
You know, we can't keep him if he gets spooked and wants to go.
You think he's gonna be able to handle the pressure?
(phone beeping)
He loves her. It's hard to know.
Ah.
Okay, Patton got a hit on Shorty.
Real name is Charles Goggins.
He lives in Mobile.
Go ahead.
We can handle this.
Yeah. I know you can.
Thanks. We, uh...
(keys jingling)
We need to have Lasalle's back on this one.
What's your gut saying?
Well, they knew right away they were perfect for each other
because she researched and crafted
the perfect personality to lure him in.
That's cynical, even for you.
Yeah, because I've been there.
My so very wrong for me ex-husband
didn't do anything he hadn't perfectly planned first.
This is gonna up the same way.
Look, if anyone if there's anyone who has reason to believe
that the person they're dating is holding
some sort of terrible secret, then it's me.
Are you talking about
your high school girlfriend who unknowingly
showed up in business with your...
No, no. He's talking about the one who needed our help
to find the pirate treasure so she could steal it.
I'm actually...
to find the pirate treasure so she could steal it.
I'm actually...
I'm talking about the one who turned out to be a British spy,
but it's fine. Whatever.
The point is that this job-- I feel like
sometimes it can just... it can rob us of all hope
and-and wonder
and...
you know.
Yeah.
Okay, I change my mind.
My gut instinct is I'm full of hope and wonder.
Okay, get with Patton,
build a digital map on Rina Rollins.
See if it jives with what, uh,
lover boy has to say about her.
Okay.
(chuckles softly)
Chris, before we go in...
I know.
I know, all right? The main concern is crafting a case
that holds for Cade. By the book.
You're already investigating your own brother's murder.
We're way off-book.
So I need to be sure...
Pride, I can do this.
All right?
So let me.
Okay.
Once we clear a path to the backyard,
we should split up to keep it covered.
I'll take the front.
(sizzling)
What do you think you're doing in my backyard?
I'm NCIS.
Special Agent Christopher Lasalle.
NCIS? What the heck is that?
Are you Charles Goggins?
You probably already know that.
Are you alone?
Why would you ask that?
'Cause you
Why would you ask that?
'Cause you
sound like you're from some fake agency
and you look like you're some kind of scam artist.
I'm here on a homicide investigation.
Does the name Cade Lasalle ring a bell?
He would have come to you trying to get a kid
named Will out of your racket.
Pride, he's rabbiting!
Did you kill my brother? Huh?
No! No! I...
Did you kill my brother?!
I didn't kill anybody.
Huh? Tell me! Tell me about it!
PRIDE: Chris, hey!
Did you kill him? Tell me what you know about Cade!
Chris. Chris.
Did you kill him? Tell me what you know about Cade!
Chris. Chris.
He's not resisting. Chris.
What'd you do to Cade?
Please.
Not in front of my little girl.
Huh? Why you...
Not in front of my little girl.
Huh? Why you...
We need him to talk to us.
All right, get off him so he can talk.
Tell him you'll talk, Charles.
I will.
Come on.
Get up, get up.
I didn't kill your brother.
I told you.
All right.
I wasn't listening earlier.
I'm listening now.
Why don't you start when Cade first contacted you.
He found me.
Said that kid pointed me out.
Will?
I guess. Look,
these kids who get involved with me, they mostly don't have dads.
They come to me to make a couple of bucks
so they feel like they're helping out at home.
They don't ask me questions, I don't ask them questions.
Look, I don't care about
your drug operation.
Tell me about Cade.
He wanted to get Will out of this thing.
Said he was willing to pay to get it done.
Pay?
To make good.
Will lost a package. That's not okay.
A package isn't worth a man's life.
So, Cade
came to you.
What'd you do?
I gave him a phone. What else could I do?
He said he was gonna involve some federal agent.
Me.
I'm that federal agent.
So you thought it'd be better to leave law enforcement out of it?
For sure. If he could work it out
with the bosses and everybody walked away happy,
I saw that as a happy ending.
Instead, you got a man killed.
Not the way I see it.
Way I see it, he got himself killed.
So you're just the phone guy.
You get batches of phones, and you gave one to Cade.
That's it, man.
That's all.
PRIDE: So was the phone
that you gave him out of this batch?
PATTON: Rina Rollins.
More sexy librarian than red sparrow.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, she's got a doctorate in energy systems
and climate change, and during her studies,
she volunteered in Africa working with an NGO to install
solar water purification systems.
So, in short, she's totally cool
and doesn't sound nefarious in any way.
Well, the water project was in Uganda,
which has ties to the Russian regime.
And if she did spend all those years
getting a doctorate in climate change,
she probably isn't too pleased
that our government isn't doing much about it.
Not to mention all the applications Sebastian told us
the machine is capable of.
I mean, it's worth hundreds of millions,
if not billions, it's good enough reasons to dupe a guy.
Yeah, way to go with the hope and wonder there, guys.
HANNAH: Patton, did you get everything you could
from her car and her phone?
Yeah.
HANNAH: Okay, well, then,
you guys know what to do.
We accessed Rina's phone and car records
to put together a digital map of Rina's movements.
Movements?
That seems illegal and incredibly intrusive.
Well, she signed a Navy contract
to work on sensitive information,
and that includes giving us permission
to scrutinize things like this.
Well, yeah, but we don't know that she did anything wrong.
Look, I get that you're being protective, okay?
It's just we... I mean, we got to run this down.
I shouldn't have come to you guys.
What-what if I-if I just talk to her?
It's too late for that.
If you leave now,
we'll have no choice but to go to her directly.
She'll never forgive me.
Then let's hope the pictures on her computer
are nothing to be worried about.
What does she tell you she does after work?
What do you mean, "tell me"?
You're treating this like she's already guilty.
After work, she goes to the gym,
and if it's a night we're spending together, which is
most nights, we take turns going shopping and making dinner.
How many nights do you guys spend together versus apart?
We are together every night.
Except for the Thursday exception.
What's that?
When we started to get serious,
she suggested we carve out Thursdays as a day
where we can spend time alone
or separately with friends.
I mean, three weeks out of four, we just end up together anyway.
So, wait, on a monthly basis,
she has a night where you're not allowed to question her?
I-I'm allowed.
Do you?
I wanted her to feel
like I trusted her.
Max.
like I trusted her.
Max.
Today is Thursday.
What is she doing after work?
There's no backing out now, Lieutenant.
She's meeting some friends
in the Quarter for an early dinner.
Chris, you said that you were okay...
and you weren't.
I know. And I'm sorry.
You're lucky he tried to run.
Otherwise, we might've...
Compromised the case. Look, I get it.
No, let me finish, Christopher,
because we played it your way, and we almost got burned.
We need to focus on getting justice,
which means no mistakes.
Are you two okay?
We're fine, Miss Rose.
Pride's pointing out the fact
that I'm not being as professional as he'd like.
Of course you're not. You lost your brother.
(cell phone buzzing)
And it hasn't been that long
(cell phone buzzing)
And it hasn't been that long
since we lost your father.
Sorry, I need to... I need to check in.
Excuse me.
Long as Dwayne's known you,
I would think he'd have figured out the quickest way
to upset a Lasalle
is to hint he might not be up to a task,
isn't that right?
But you know that's not what he's saying.
He cares about you. We all do.
I know it.
I know he's right, too.
I let my anger take over today.
But something else is bothering me.
What's bothering you, Chris?
Cade had a whole life going.
Something real.
Kelly, his girlfriend.
Her son, Will.
I didn't even know him.
That's because he reached out to you
from a place of trouble so many times.
He wanted to take care of what was going on himself,
and prove to you how much he had changed.
You understand that?
I'm trying.
Patton got a hit on Goggins' phone guy.
Sorry, Miss Rose.
It's all right.
Go find out who killed my boy,
So we can get busy
healing the family we've got left.
This is the best Patton could do?
(tablet clatters)
He got us a match
to the location where the cell phones were bought.
Not his fault the store has old security cameras.
It's just...
if we don't find this dude who bought the phones,
how's he gonna lead us to whoever Cade talked to?
We're not gonna give up, Chris.
No matter what this guy does or doesn't tell us.
I messed up.
Big-time.
I take your feedback to heart,
and...
I want you to know that.
What happened earlier today...
...it won't happen again.
Thank you...
for having my back.
Always.
I spent years
thinking about my dad,
all the ways he failed me.
But to make my life work,
I had to figure out a way to forgive him some things
and make peace with the rest of it.
And the truth is,
who he was
made me who I am.
All those miles you and Cade walked together
helped form him.
Made it possible for him
to make a life for himself, despite real challenges.
(bell jingles)
Well, maybe this isn't such a bad photo after all.
Excuse me.
NCIS, Special A...
(bus honks)
(siren wailing)
(car horns honking)
Crap!
We got lucky, and...
then he got lucky.
I was so close.
Well...
at least he left behind what let's hope is
a key piece of evidence.
Huh?
Come on, let's get it back to Sebastian immediately.
(panting)
♪ ♪
(indistinct conversations)
I just... I don't think that spies have that many friends.
Sure they do.
But they don't enjoy them like that.
This whole "hope and wonder" thing--
what's it all about?
Huh? Oh. Yeah, I... You know.
what's it all about?
Huh? Oh. Yeah, I... You know.
It's just... I'm in my 30s,
living with my best friend. Which is great.
It's great.
It's totally great.
But?
But, you know,
I think I want more, eventually.
I guess. I don't know. I don't want to be
a-a grumpy old man living with a grumpy old woman.
What?
You're a grumpy young woman,
you're gonna be a grumpy old woman.
You can't deny that.
You're rude.
You can't deny that.
You're rude.
I'm sorry.
So you want to believe that there's a true love story here
so that there's still a true love story ahead for you?
Yes.
Exactly. Is that so wrong?
Okay. No.
Exactly. Is that so wrong?
Okay. No.
You know, can't a guy root for a happy ending?
Sure. It's fine.
All right. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Even though she's walking in the opposite direction
of her car right now.
What...
Damn it.
I'll go on foot.
All right.
I'll go on foot.
All right.
I'll get ahead of her in the car.
(engine starts)
GREGORIO: She just got in
a red and white pedicab heading your way.
SEBASTIAN (over comms): Okay, I'm on it.
She just made a drop. I'm moving in.
Hey! Rina Rollins!
Federal Agent! Hands up!
Get down.
You're making a mistake.
GREGORIO: Oh, yeah?
Well, whatever you were trying to pass off on this
was the mistake.
Sorry that took so long.
I was busy arresting a suspected spy.
So the boyfriend was right to be suspicious?
Oh, yeah, photos from the manual,
secret drop, hidden flash drive, it's not looking good.
All right, well, thanks for coming.
Yeah.
All right, well, thanks for coming.
Yeah.
We got this backpack off the main suspect in Lasalle's case.
Okay. Well, let's hope it's not just filled with homework.
(chuckles)
Oh. What is that?
Sebastian,
could fentanyl be in the bag?
I don't know, it c...
Hey, hey! Get me a Narcan shot now.
Go!
Hold on, Sebastian, hold on.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, it wasn't, like, a-a head injury kind of fainting.
No, a mere overdose kind of fainting
from fentanyl-laced stickers.
I'm fine. Really. I am. I-I want to help Lasalle.
I can do that all from a-a seated position
Look, I'm glad my team is gung ho,
but I think I need to have a talk
with all of you about self-care.
Yeah, that'll go well.
Little pot calling the kettle black?
Feel like that's a trick question.
Looks like Wade was right.
The stickers are a transdermal system for synthetic opioids.
So getting high has never been easier.
I ran a search on the stickers.
Found reports of overdoses
all along the Gulf Coast going back months.
Oh, here we go.
'Cause this is a synthetic opioid, I thought that maybe it,
uh, came from somewhere else, and looks like I was right.
The molecular analysis matches a drug baseline
for a patent application.
PRIDE: From a lab in Alabama.
That can't be a coincidence.
They were patenting
a less addictive synthetic opioid?
Yeah. Identifying what made it less addictive
allowed the network to adjust the formula
for their synthetic fentanyl, make it more addictive.
And deadly. Ruining lives for profit.
And it looks like Cade got in the way.
Send me the details on the patent.
I'll drop by the lab on my way back to Alabama.
See if they've got any idea who stole their formula.
RINA: I want to
talk to Max, please.
I can't let it end like this.
Oh, honey,
this is just the beginning for you.
You need to talk to us before you talk to Max.
That's if he wants to talk to you at all.
He'll never forgive me.
Why should he?
You used him.
That's not what happened.
Please, I need to talk to him.
And we need to know who told you to target Max,
who you were leaving the USB for,
and how much damage you've already done
to the superconductor project.
Look, I was spying,
but I was forced to.
And my relationship with Max is real.
I was never told to target him. He was a surprise.
Okay.
We're listening.
I went to Uganda for my doctoral thesis,
a water purification system.
Yeah, we know that.
I was approached by this guy.
He said he worked for a NGO.
He was upset that the company I was
working with was keeping their patent secret,
just because they wanted to make more money.
I mean, we were in
a part of the world where people are suffering.
Probably bought you a few drinks, had so much in common.
Said all the things you wanted to hear.
He made a lot of sense.
Made me feel like I'd be a hero if I helped him.
He just wanted a peek at the engineering plans.
And so you committed industrial espionage.
HANNAH: And as soon as you helped,
the guy who seemed normal turned out to be working
for a foreign government.
I'm gonna guess Russia.
for a foreign government.
I'm gonna guess Russia.
And threatened to turn you in if you didn't pull another mission.
You make it sound like...
It happens all the time.
You make it sound like...
It happens all the time.
It does.
And then you took what he did to you
and you did it to Max. It's not that complicated.
The Russians forced me to apply for this Navy contract.
I got the job.
I didn't want to spy,
but I was scared of spending the rest of my life in prison.
You were scared?
You weren't scared enough to turn yourself in
and work this out, right?
I thought about it.
But then I met Max,
and it was like we were made for each other.
And then I had even more to lose.
It's a nice story,
but we have a USB filled with
classified information that you passed along to your handlers.
Not exactly.
I manipulated the images, fed them false intel.
Max's machine is safe.
You tricked the Russians.
Just trying to buy time.
Figure out how to get out from underneath their thumb,
but then time ran out.
Please...
let Max know how sorry I am.
Okay.
I want you to write down everything you can remember,
including the name of all your handlers
and how you contacted them.
What's your gut telling you now?
She's a highly intelligent woman
who just admitted to doing a string of dumb stuff.
That doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth.
Doesn't mean she is either.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm thoroughly confused myself at this point.
The only thing we're sure of is the USB.
I'll run it up the flagpole
in case the project has been compromised.
All right,
I'll bring it to Patton to analyze what's on the drive.
Okay.
ROSE: Morning.
Oh, didn't mean to startle you.
I'm, uh...
A thousand miles away?
More like a thousand years.
Ah. Lost in memories.
I know the feeling.
I'd say a cup of coffee will bring you back to the present,
but you don't indulge.
I know it's hard, sweetheart.
Harder than I thought it would be.
When this is over,
come back home
and we'll honor him properly.
Neither of us
should go through this alone.
PRIDE: Hey there. Let myself in.
Miss Rose, you mind if I borrow Christopher for a minute?
Please. (chuckles)
I hope you had breakfast already 'cause we got work to do.
You run down the patent holder on the fentanyl
from the backpack?
I did.
Dropped in on Dr. Francie Neary
early this morning on my way here.
She was very forthcoming
once I told her her patent was being used
to deal illegal narcotics.
She have an idea who stole the patent?
She had someone
who came to mind immediately--
a disgruntled lab assistant who'd been fired for negligence.
You get a name?
Name, address, phone number,
social security, license plate number,
and a picture of Stan Jenkins.
Let's go get him.
Hey.
Good you're all here. We got a major problem.
Dude, you're not supposed to let
people in custody out.
I think she needs to see this.
people in custody out.
I think she needs to see this.
I mirrored Rina's smartphone to monitor
incoming communication, and she just got this.
Oh, no.
MAN: Rina,
you've been a naughty girl. When you signaled a drop
and there wasn't anything there, we took a closer look
at the information you've been passing us. Shh.
(muffled shouting)
We want all the real, undoctored information
by this afternoon,
and I think the "or else"
is pretty obvious.
I knew it was just a matter of time
before my handlers found out I was passing bad information.
Did you think they were gonna do this?
No. I thought they'd take it out on me.
They probably would've if I wasn't here.
There is good news here.
What?
They don't know about us. I don't think
they knew you were picked up.
Well, then we got to set a meeting immediately,
before they figure out that we got her.
I love Max.
Trade me for him.
That is not how this works.
We can't just turn over somebody in our custody
to be murdered by the Russians.
RINA: I don't care
what happens to me.
Max is the good guy here.
Save him.
The superconductor needs him.
GREGORIO: We can do this, Hannah.
We know who we're looking for.
They don't know we're looking.
Please.
(exhales) Okay.
I'll double-check with Pride.
But you have to do
exactly what we say.
PRIDE: We followed Stan Jenkins to that warehouse.
He entered roughly 20 minutes ago.
LASALLE: Clearly, the suspect we tried to apprehend
outside the convenience store
let them know we were on their trail.
They knew the moment we found the stickers
in his backpack,
it would just be a matter of time before we found the lab.
So we're talking possible flammable materials inside,
and suspects who may have killed before?
Correct.
We got it.
And there's one more thing.
We got it.
And there's one more thing.
We need Jenkins alive.
He has critical information about my brother's murder.
We have questions only he can answer.
I'll show the guys.
Federal agents! Get your hands up!
Drop it!
Easy. Hands on the truck.
Jenkins!
Jenkins! Come out with your hands up!
We got you surrounded!
Put it down!
Drop your weapon!
No.
Drop your weapon!
No.
No! No!
Hold your fire! Federal agent!
Jenkins!
No. Jenkins.
Come on, Jenkins.
Who killed my brother? Who killed Cade?
He's gone.
Jenkins!
He's gone.
Jenkins!
Chris, he's...
he's gone.
GREGORIO: Play it one more time.
MAN: At exactly 11:48, you will get on the first elevator
and press the button for the top floor.
We will handle everything from there.
RINA: Yes, sir. Can you tell Ma...
SEBASTIAN: W-What's so special
about the first elevator?
Nothing.
They just want to know exactly where she is
so they can meet her on any floor they choose.
Right. And an elevator's contained,
so it can't be watched from the outside.
Guys, involving Rina's too dangerous.
I don't care.
Pride and I think it's our best option.
I don't care.
Pride and I think it's our best option.
NOPD's gonna help us
with surveillance inside the hotel itself.
This can go bad in a lot of ways.
If it does,
can you tell Max everything that I said?
That I would've
said yes when he asked me?
We're gonna let you tell him yourself.

I'm so sorry.
Please, don't do this.
MAN: It's too late.
I'm sorry.
They told me everything.
But I just wish I heard it from you.
MAN: I'm glad you finally saw
the error in your ways.
You're free to go.
For now.
What happens now?
I don't know. I just know there's no time.
But please believe me when I say I love you.
(gun cocks)
Drop your weapon.
Rina, I...
never imagined I would be
doing this here, but...
Rina Rollins...
...will you marry me?
Yes.
Yeah?
Yes.
Yeah?
Yes, of course!
You happy now?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I spoke to CSU.
The lab equipment they're seizing is worth millions.
How does that help me find Cade's killers?
It means Jenkins wasn't the last rung on this ladder.
No way he could finance all this.
He's working for someone.
Back to square one again.
Chris.
Back to square one again.
Chris.
Come on. We're gonna do what we do.
Okay.
Run me through what you think we still have.
Stan Jenkins was fired from his job over a year ago
and there's no record of employment since then.
So it'd be impossible for him
to finance a drug lab out of thin air.
Which means we have a new prime suspect:
someone who could have killed Cade
to protect their investment.
OFFICER: Special Agents Pride and Lasalle.
What's up, Officer?
Just got a call
from the main station. Someone showed up
saying he wants to confess to your brother's murder.
DOLAN: And he called me
on the burner phone an associate gave him,
said that he wanted to pay off Will's debt.
So I arranged to meet with him.
Once he'd handed over the money, I...
I stuck him.
Three times,
aiming for vital organs.
I wanted to get done quick.
And then what?
Set the body on fire,
hide the evidence.
But I can't live with what I did.
I can't eat, I can't sleep.
I'm so sorry.
I just want this to be over with.
Why did you kill Cade Lasalle?
Every cent I had was sunk into that lab.
I was afraid he was gonna get...
This makes no sense.
PRIDE: Do you really think he has the money
to spend on that lab?
(whispers): I don't know.
How about a history of violence--
has he ever done anything like this before?
No. He's mostly been picked up on drug-related offenses.
This stinks, Mr. Walsh.
We haven't analyzed the knife yet.
But if that is your brother's blood
and those are Mr. Dolan's fingerprints,
then I don't see why I need to be looking
for somebody else to charge with this crime.
PRIDE: I've been an investigator
for a long time.
I know
when someone sounds coached.
I appreciate your experience,
but this is now under my purview now, Special Agent.
And if he didn't do it,
and the person who did is still out there?
I understand this has been difficult for you.
But you need to understand that you've made my job
more difficult by involving yourself in this investigation.
You need to back off.
I'll keep you updated.
(door closes)
(Sebastian exhales)
Look, I know that Rina is guilty of industrial espionage,
I know she's got to go to jail.
Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
I know, I know.
Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
I know, I know.
I just hope the fact that she didn't actually
turn over any classified intel,
helped rescue Max and got her handlers arrested,
you know, I hope that helps keep her sentence low.
Yeah,
well, I'm gonna write a letter to the judge, so...
Yeah, me, too.
Yeah.
You think Max is gonna wait for her?
Do you really want to know what I think?
Uh... Y-Yeah.
Yeah.
I do think he's gonna wait for her.
Because I think the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Aw.
Well, what about you? You think there's anyone
still out there for you?
Maybe.
But right now, I'm happy as I am.
Yeah.
But I do think
there's someone great out there waiting
for a wonderful, smart, funny guy
to come into her life.
Me?
You.
Yeah.
You.
Yeah.
And when that happens...
you're gonna have to fight me for our house,
'cause it's a sick house and I want it.
I bought the house.
Yeah, but I pay just as much rent.
You're my tenant. That's how that...
Yeah, but you get the cool girl.
You could have a cool girl, too. You just said
you're happy as you are.
I'm just gonna chill...
Now I'm annoyed. Get out of my face.
That guy's a minion. You know that.
He's got bosses, I agree.
Yeah, but the D.A. doesn't care.
He just sees an easy conviction, and that's it.
I know, Christopher.
So what are we gonna do about it?
Well, I think that Dolan's bosses put him up
to the confession thinking that we'd stop going after them.
And?
And I think they achieved the exact opposite.
You and I aren't going anywhere.
We're still on this case, and we're gonna stay on this case
until we find out what really happened to Cade
and then we're gonna make them pay.
That's why you're the King.
