So, when Tali first got
to boarding school--
53
00:03:08,318 --> 00:03:09,798
it was her decision to go--

Yep.

00:06:37,353 --> 00:06:38,920
Could be a robbery.

Well, if it was, the robber
left the best stuff behind.

KNIGHT:
Petty Officer Mark Brogan was
152
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:07,992
a Navy Information Systems
Technician.
153
00:07:08,253 --> 00:07:09,385
So, he's an IT guy.
154
00:07:09,559 --> 00:07:10,734
What we don't know is
why this IT guy
155
00:07:10,908 --> 00:07:12,388
was dressed like a superhero.
156
00:07:12,693 --> 00:07:14,477
Well, technically, Ralph Hinkley
was an everyday teacher
157
00:07:14,651 --> 00:07:17,045
who was gifted a power suit
by alien visitors.
158
00:07:17,219 --> 00:07:20,004
But he lost the instruction
manual for how to use it.
159
00:07:20,178 --> 00:07:21,745
That's right. Remember,
he would... he would
160
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:23,617
fly around everywhere,
but crash into everything.
161
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:26,010

But, yeah, it's true, uh,
164
00:07:30,754 --> 00:07:33,191
we do not know why our victim
was wearing a power suit.
165
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,193
Or why he was carrying 50 grand.
166
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,108
But we do know
he hasn't been at work.
167
00:07:37,282 --> 00:07:40,024
He has been on emergency leave
for the past month.
168
00:07:40,198 --> 00:07:41,635
Yeah, Brogan's got a sick kid.
169
00:07:41,809 --> 00:07:43,941
- How sick we talking?
- Hodgkin's lymphoma.
170
00:07:44,115 --> 00:07:47,292
Curable, but he's been in and
out of the hospital for months.
171
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:50,382
Man, a kid with cancer
and a dead father.
172
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:52,689
That family's going through it.
173
00:07:52,863 --> 00:07:55,431
Cancer treatment? That comes
with a hefty price tag.
174
00:07:55,605 --> 00:07:56,824
Maybe Brogan got involved
175
00:07:57,172 --> 00:07:58,826
with some shady business
to cover the cost.

a long way towards medical debt.

Actually, this briefcase
full of cash
178
00:08:03,744 --> 00:08:05,354
won't go very far at all.
179
00:08:05,528 --> 00:08:07,661
Most of it is counterfeit.
180
00:08:07,835 --> 00:08:09,967

on top is real.
181
00:08:10,141 --> 00:08:11,447
Oh, flash cash.
182
00:08:11,621 --> 00:08:13,188
It's a trick drug dealers
use, right?
183
00:08:13,362 --> 00:08:16,408
The buyer puts, uh, real bills
around the fake bills.
184
00:08:16,583 --> 00:08:18,976
Maybe Brogan tried
a similar scam and got caught.
185
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:21,979
Brogan has a clean record.
Nothing points to drug dealing.
186
00:08:22,153 --> 00:08:23,807
Let alone scamming
other drug dealers.
187
00:08:23,981 --> 00:08:25,243
Yeah, but no telling
what a desperate father
188
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:26,767
would do to help his family.

191
00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:35,036

00:08:41,825 --> 00:08:43,697
You're a good man, McGee.
195
00:08:51,922 --> 00:08:53,794
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
196
00:08:53,968 --> 00:08:55,143
Sure.
197
00:08:58,973 --> 00:09:01,453
I spent so much time
staring at these walls.
198
00:09:01,715 --> 00:09:04,326
The whole point is to
distract you from reality,
199
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,981
but reality keeps coming.
200
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:09,244
How's your son?
201
00:09:09,418 --> 00:09:11,333
Better.
202
00:09:13,161 --> 00:09:17,513
Cole's new course
of treatment is working.
203
00:09:17,687 --> 00:09:19,471
His dad was happy.
204
00:09:23,650 --> 00:09:27,305
Again, I'm-I'm sorry
for your loss.
205
00:09:30,395 --> 00:09:33,224
Mrs. Brogan, was there anything
in Mark's life that
206
00:09:33,398 --> 00:09:35,357
seemed off lately?
207
00:09:35,531 --> 00:09:37,011
No.
208
00:09:38,273 --> 00:09:40,101
If he wasn't working,
he was here.
209
00:09:40,275 --> 00:09:42,320
Just trying
to make our boy happy.
210
00:09:42,494 --> 00:09:46,934
He started dressing
as this old TV superhero
211
00:09:47,195 --> 00:09:48,500
just to make him laugh.
212
00:09:48,675 --> 00:09:50,764
- Greatest American Hero?
- [chuckles] Yes.
213
00:09:50,938 --> 00:09:52,461
He looked ridiculous.
214
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:55,377
The kids in the cancer ward
loved it.
215
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,859
Something I have to ask...
216
00:09:59,033 --> 00:10:02,036
Were you having
any financial issues?
217
00:10:02,210 --> 00:10:06,606
Cole's on experimental
cell therapy. What do you think?
218
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:10,174
I think cell therapy
is not covered by insurance.
219
00:10:10,348 --> 00:10:13,395
No. We struggled.
220
00:10:13,569 --> 00:10:15,745
Got behind.
221
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:17,660
Then a few weeks ago,
222
00:10:17,834 --> 00:10:20,228
Mark started
paying the bills off.
223
00:10:20,402 --> 00:10:21,621
How'd he manage that?
224
00:10:21,795 --> 00:10:24,319
Some sort of Navy relief fund.
225
00:10:24,493 --> 00:10:26,495
He was working overtime too,
and...
226
00:10:26,669 --> 00:10:28,715
we were grateful.
227
00:10:30,804 --> 00:10:32,196
Actually, your husband, um,
228
00:10:32,370 --> 00:10:34,808
has been on leave
the last month.
229
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:37,637
[scoffs] That's impossible.
230
00:10:37,811 --> 00:10:41,466
We think that Mark may have
found another source of income.
231
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:45,035
We found a significant amount
of counterfeit cash in his car.
232
00:10:45,296 --> 00:10:46,471
Sorry, uh...
233
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:49,474
Y-You've come
to my son's hospital
234
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,825
to accuse my husband
of some sort of crime?
235
00:10:51,999 --> 00:10:53,435
We're just trying
to put together what happened.
236
00:10:53,609 --> 00:10:56,525
What happened is that someone
murdered a good man,
237
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:58,092
and instead of blaming him,
238
00:10:58,266 --> 00:11:00,660
you should be looking
for who did it.
239

Agent Knight,
what a coincidence.
245
00:11:17,546 --> 00:11:19,679
Hmm. Feels like you sprinted
to get in here.
246
00:11:19,853 --> 00:11:22,246
Uh, more of a speed walk
these days.
247
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:24,074
I have an update
on the Anderson case.
248
00:11:24,248 --> 00:11:26,250
Oh, we're still doing that.
249
00:11:26,511 --> 00:11:28,122
Your theory was correct.
250
00:11:28,296 --> 00:11:32,213
- Tali, she has friends.
- Ah. What's this?
251
00:11:32,387 --> 00:11:35,303
I did some light research.
Names, addresses, hobbies.
252
00:11:35,477 --> 00:11:37,958
I didn't want to go crazy.
253
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:39,350
I thought you were dealing with
254
00:11:39,524 --> 00:11:40,743
the Armed Services Committee
today.
255
00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:42,223
I have that under control.
256
00:11:42,397 --> 00:11:44,791
I need to know
my rules of engagement here.
257
00:11:44,965 --> 00:11:48,185
Do I exploit my position?
Take tactical advantage or...?
258
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:51,058
Uh, they are teenage girls,
259
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:53,364

260
00:11:53,538 --> 00:11:55,584
- Equally scary.
- Mm.
261
00:11:56,803 --> 00:11:58,326
I got to do something.
262
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:00,284
Nothing. You do nothing.
263
00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:02,330
The Anderson case is closed.
264
00:12:02,504 --> 00:12:04,419
I wholeheartedly agree.
265
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:05,986
Jimmy knows
about the Anderson case?
266
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,292
I'm also the father
of a teenage daughter.
267
00:12:08,466 --> 00:12:09,859

268
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,165

from their parents,
269
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:12,383

270
00:12:12,557 --> 00:12:13,994

with you and Victoria?

00:12:28,312 --> 00:12:29,879
That's the hope.
277
00:12:30,053 --> 00:12:32,012

- Hmm.
278
00:12:32,186 --> 00:12:35,189
Something easier to digest,
like murder.
279
00:12:35,363 --> 00:12:37,495
Well, there was
nothing easy about, uh,
280
00:12:37,669 --> 00:12:39,149
Petty Officer's murder here.
281
00:12:39,323 --> 00:12:41,456
The head wound here
is just icing on the cake.
282
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:44,067
There's also extreme rope burns
around his wrists
283
00:12:44,241 --> 00:12:46,287
and bruising underneath
his fingernails.
284
00:12:46,461 --> 00:12:48,115
- So he was tied up?
- Mm.

00:12:48,289 --> 00:12:50,378
TONY:
They didn't just tie him up.
Look at the bruising.
286
00:12:50,552 --> 00:12:53,511
He was hung from something,
and for a long time.
287

the weirdest part.

Is that what I think it is?
291
00:13:02,477 --> 00:13:05,088
That is a Mexican bark scorpion.
292
00:13:05,959 --> 00:13:08,439
- Did that thing just move?
- No, she's dead,
293
00:13:08,613 --> 00:13:10,528
but might not have been
when Brogan swallowed her.
294
00:13:10,702 --> 00:13:13,401
The Emberá Cartel's been known
to force their enemies
295
00:13:13,575 --> 00:13:15,359
- to swallow scorpions.
- KNIGHT: And trying to scam them
296
00:13:15,533 --> 00:13:18,232
with fake money is a great way
to piss off the cartel.

Well, according to Kasie,
there's only one

Okay, in what twisted world
is that thing a pet?

00:15:23,357 --> 00:15:24,575
Oh. Ooh, man!
351
00:15:24,749 --> 00:15:26,577
♪ Choose or Lose! ♪
352
00:15:33,497 --> 00:15:35,760
Not sure I see
the point of the game.
353
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:37,545
They stand with their hands
on the piggy bank
354
00:15:37,719 --> 00:15:39,503
until there's
only one contestant left.
355
00:15:39,764 --> 00:15:41,766
So it's Hands on a Hardbody?
356
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:43,725
It's Hands on a Hard Piggy.
357
00:15:43,899 --> 00:15:46,075
Very different,
legally speaking.
358
00:15:46,249 --> 00:15:48,512
Chelsea Jacobs. I got this.
359
00:15:49,296 --> 00:15:51,167
You, uh, you must be
legal counsel.
360
00:15:51,428 --> 00:15:53,213
And executive producer and...
361
00:15:53,387 --> 00:15:55,955
pretty much anything else
that needs an adult in the room.
362
00:15:57,217 --> 00:16:00,742
We're so shocked to hear
Mark Brogan's dead.
363
00:16:00,916 --> 00:16:02,178
Camera loved him.
364
00:16:02,526 --> 00:16:04,572
So Brogan was a contestant
on your game show?
365
00:16:04,746 --> 00:16:07,488
Jackpot's Choose or Lose
isn't just a game show.
366
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:08,837
It's a sensation.
367
00:16:09,098 --> 00:16:10,970
Jordan's got
millions of followers.
368
00:16:11,144 --> 00:16:13,102
You've heard the catch phrase,
I'm sure.
369
00:16:13,276 --> 00:16:14,321
"What's it gonna be..."
370
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:16,410
"...Choose or Lose?"
371
00:16:16,584 --> 00:16:18,499
My kids watch.
372
00:16:19,891 --> 00:16:23,852
Bottom line is, uh, these people
do crazy stunts for cash.
373
00:16:24,113 --> 00:16:26,289
Yes! Unc here gets it.
374
00:16:26,463 --> 00:16:29,466
"Crazy stunts for cash"
is the vibe.
375
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:32,382
Got five before we need you
on camera, Jordan.
376
00:16:32,643 --> 00:16:34,994
That makes you Jordan Jackpot?
377
00:16:35,168 --> 00:16:39,215
Host. Creator. Innovator.
Some say self-made genius.
378
00:16:39,389 --> 00:16:40,912
Chelsea here likes to call me
379
00:16:41,087 --> 00:16:42,784
- "insurance liability."
- [Chelsea chuckles]
380
00:16:42,958 --> 00:16:47,136
Jordan, they're not interested
in nicknames. This is NCIS.
381
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:49,182
Oh, man.
382
00:16:49,356 --> 00:16:52,663
Uh, just heard about
Superhero Sailor. Guy was fire.
383
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:54,970
Literally willing
to do anything for money.
384
00:16:55,144 --> 00:16:57,886
Does that include
eating live scorpions?
385
00:16:58,147 --> 00:17:00,758
Gnarly, right?
Dude was pure aura.
386
00:17:00,932 --> 00:17:05,067
Okay, dude has a name.
Mark Brogan. Also has a family,
387
00:17:05,328 --> 00:17:07,156
didn't know he was participating
in this show.
388
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:08,418
CHELSEA:
That's standard.
389
00:17:08,679 --> 00:17:10,551
Everyone signs an NDA.
390
00:17:10,725 --> 00:17:13,858
The show's top secret,
even to contestants' families.
391
00:17:14,033 --> 00:17:15,295
You ask a lot
of your contestants.
392
00:17:15,469 --> 00:17:16,600
JORDAN:
They have a lot to gain.
393
00:17:16,774 --> 00:17:21,127
Grand prize is $3 million...
cash.
394
00:17:21,301 --> 00:17:23,346
McGEE:
Counterfeit or actual cash?
395
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,697
'Cause we found a briefcase full
of fake money in Brogan's car.
396
00:17:26,871 --> 00:17:29,352
Prop money.
That's a Chelsea rule.
397
00:17:29,526 --> 00:17:31,180
Can't be storing
that much green here.
398
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:34,618
[chuckles] New rule: don't let
contestants take props home.
399
00:17:35,489 --> 00:17:37,447
Camera's ready, Jordan.
400
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:40,581
Sorry. Kind of on
a tight schedule.
401
00:17:40,842 --> 00:17:42,626
PARKER:
Uh, we're kind of investigating
402
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,281
a murder, so, uh,
the camera will have to wait.
403
00:17:45,455 --> 00:17:48,676
Hey, I feel for this guy
and his family, for real,
404
00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:50,156
but whatever happened to Brogan
405
00:17:50,330 --> 00:17:52,810
has nothing to do
with me or my show.
406
00:17:52,984 --> 00:17:54,812
- We don't know that.
- CHELSEA: Exactly.
407
00:17:54,986 --> 00:17:58,425
So, until you can find evidence
that Brogan's death is connected
408
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:00,688
to Jackpot's Choose or Lose,
409
00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:03,865
I'm gonna have to ask you
to vacate the premises.
410
00:18:04,735 --> 00:18:06,346
Think I found some evidence.
411
00:18:07,912 --> 00:18:09,871
There's another set.
412
00:18:11,829 --> 00:18:13,701
[bell ringing]
413
00:18:13,875 --> 00:18:15,833
Okay, this is our set
414
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:18,880
for the Jackpot
Game of Throws competition.
415
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:21,100
It's axe throwing. Get it?
416
00:18:21,274 --> 00:18:22,623
Throws, yeah, like the TV show.
417
00:18:22,797 --> 00:18:24,146
It's my grandma's favorite.
418
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,888
Can we talk about these axes?
419
00:18:27,062 --> 00:18:29,151
JORDAN:
Straight fire, right?
420
00:18:29,325 --> 00:18:32,589
The axes are real, but
we do not throw them at people.
421
00:18:32,763 --> 00:18:34,287
That's another Chelsea rule.
422
00:18:34,548 --> 00:18:35,592
It's an everybody rule.
423
00:18:35,766 --> 00:18:37,028
All right, how many axes
424
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:38,813
- are supposed to be here?
- JORDAN: Seven.
425
00:18:38,987 --> 00:18:42,164
After the, uh, seven kingdoms
of Westeros. Why?
426
00:18:42,338 --> 00:18:43,992
Because you're missing one.
427
00:18:45,341 --> 00:18:46,908
JORDAN:
Oh. Uh...
428
00:18:47,082 --> 00:18:50,259
And our victim has an
axe-shaped hole in their skull.
429
00:18:51,086 --> 00:18:52,653
FEMALE VOICE [over speakers]:
Player eliminated.
430
00:18:52,914 --> 00:18:55,221
[buzzer sounds]
431
00:18:56,091 --> 00:18:58,572
We'll cooperate
with whatever you need.
432
00:18:59,964 --> 00:19:03,098
I'm not just a sailor willing
to do anything for his son.
433
00:19:03,272 --> 00:19:05,056
I have a secret identity.
434
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:06,710
[theme music playing]
435
00:19:06,884 --> 00:19:09,757
I'm the Greatest American Hero,
436
00:19:09,931 --> 00:19:11,628
and I'll soar
above the competition.
437
00:19:11,802 --> 00:19:12,803
TORRES: Wow.
438
00:19:13,064 --> 00:19:14,414
- Mm-hmm.
- He's a sailor
439
00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:16,024
and a superhero?
440
00:19:16,198 --> 00:19:18,722
Okay, now I see why
Jackpot would pick him.
441
00:19:18,896 --> 00:19:20,289
And he was true to his word.
442
00:19:20,463 --> 00:19:22,117
He won every challenge
he participated in.
443
00:19:22,291 --> 00:19:23,553
Jimmy just confirmed that
444
00:19:23,814 --> 00:19:25,076
the throwing axes that we found
445
00:19:25,251 --> 00:19:26,948
on Jackpot's set
match the wound patterns
446
00:19:27,122 --> 00:19:28,428
on our victim's skull.
447
00:19:28,602 --> 00:19:30,821
So, the missing axe
is the murder weapon.
448
00:19:30,995 --> 00:19:33,389
Which means that our killer is
likely connected
449
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,739
to Jackpot's Choose or Lose.
450
00:19:35,913 --> 00:19:37,698
Well, Jackpot sent us
a crew list
451
00:19:37,872 --> 00:19:39,917
and also a ton
of the show footage.
452
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,702
We also watched
the audition tapes.
453
00:19:41,876 --> 00:19:43,704
The contestants all had
one thing in common,
454
00:19:43,878 --> 00:19:46,489
- they are desperate for cash.
- Just like our victim.
455
00:19:46,663 --> 00:19:49,013
Rhonda's been drowning
in student loans,
456
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,928
Jeff's been unemployed
for three years,
457
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:52,974
and Stephanie is in bankruptcy.
458
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:56,282
And with our victim on track to
win $3 million, you can see why
459
00:19:56,456 --> 00:19:57,631
they would want him
out of the way.
460
00:19:57,805 --> 00:20:00,024
Any of them stand out
as particularly
461
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:01,548
vindictive about it?
462
00:20:01,939 --> 00:20:05,073
Kasie is combing through
200 hours of show footage.
463
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:06,335
See if she's got a sense of, uh,
464
00:20:06,509 --> 00:20:07,771
who had it out
for Brogan the most.
465
00:20:07,945 --> 00:20:11,862
If she hasn't died
of boredom yet.
466
00:20:12,036 --> 00:20:14,474
Whoa. Rhonda is totally
putting the moves on Jeff.
467
00:20:14,648 --> 00:20:16,693
Did you see the way she
looked at him during the whole
468
00:20:16,867 --> 00:20:18,608
"Wheel of Misfortune" debacle?
469
00:20:18,782 --> 00:20:20,784
TONY:
No way. It's a ploy.
470
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:22,090
[tablet chimes]
471
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:23,570
Rhonda's smart.
472
00:20:23,744 --> 00:20:25,963
She knows you catch
more bees with honey.
473
00:20:26,703 --> 00:20:28,618
She's a walking honey stick.
474
00:20:28,879 --> 00:20:30,316
Why do you hate love?
475
00:20:30,577 --> 00:20:33,884
Well, well, well. Look who's
ready to like and subscribe.
476
00:20:34,058 --> 00:20:36,147
Well, you got to keep up
with the trends
477
00:20:36,322 --> 00:20:37,497
if you want to keep up
478
00:20:37,671 --> 00:20:39,281
with the kids.
Speaking of which,
479
00:20:39,455 --> 00:20:42,589
I took your advice
regarding the Anderson case.
480
00:20:42,763 --> 00:20:44,330
Oh. Do nothing and drop it?
481
00:20:44,504 --> 00:20:46,288
- Was that your advice?
- Yeah.
482
00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:48,029
I did the opposite.
483
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:50,597
So you hired a mariachi band
and had her escorted to class?
484
00:20:50,771 --> 00:20:54,209
No. I invited
Tali and her friends
485
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:55,645
to come to D.C. for the weekend.
486
00:20:55,819 --> 00:20:57,473
Do a little shopping
at Tysons Corner,
487
00:20:57,734 --> 00:21:00,433
there's a viral pizza place
in Georgetown,
488
00:21:00,607 --> 00:21:02,173
and a VIP tour
of the Smithsonian.
489
00:21:02,348 --> 00:21:05,525
Being director has its perks.
Can I come?
490
00:21:05,699 --> 00:21:06,961
Wow.
491
00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:09,311
I don't know your "wows."
Was that a...
492
00:21:09,485 --> 00:21:12,053
"Wow, you've done a good job" or
493
00:21:12,227 --> 00:21:14,185
"Wow, that's a lot"?
494
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:15,578
Little of both.
495
00:21:15,752 --> 00:21:17,580
I'm just trying
to stay connected.
496
00:21:17,754 --> 00:21:19,234
If Tali's friends
are important to her now,
497
00:21:19,408 --> 00:21:21,280
they are important to me, too.
498
00:21:22,106 --> 00:21:24,979
If anyone can master
the role of cool dad,
499
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,415
it is you, Director.
500
00:21:26,763 --> 00:21:29,462
And if anyone can master
crushing 200 hours
501
00:21:29,636 --> 00:21:31,594
of game show footage, it's me.
502
00:21:31,768 --> 00:21:34,423
Any of these contestants
rise to the level of suspect?
503
00:21:34,597 --> 00:21:37,339
They have been too busy trying
to win $3 million.
504
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,819
KASIE:
Caleb Silver, however,
505
00:21:38,993 --> 00:21:40,864
had nothing but time
to contemplate murder.
506
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:43,780
Caleb Silver? He wasn't on
the contestant list.
507
00:21:43,954 --> 00:21:45,869
That's because he was kicked off
the show two weeks ago
508
00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:47,784
for violent behavior.
509
00:21:47,958 --> 00:21:49,525
[contestants cheer]
510
00:21:49,699 --> 00:21:52,049
Just take it easy, man.
It's just a game.
511
00:21:52,223 --> 00:21:54,487
Just a game? Just a game?!
512
00:21:54,748 --> 00:21:56,184
- CONTESTANT: Whoa...
- [grunts]
513
00:21:56,358 --> 00:21:57,403
[all clamoring]
514
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:59,579
Ah! Get your hands off of me!
515
00:21:59,753 --> 00:22:02,408
Caleb was angry
he lost the challenge.
516
00:22:02,582 --> 00:22:03,757
He blamed Brogan.
517
00:22:03,931 --> 00:22:06,107
Then he was forcibly removed
by security.
518
00:22:06,281 --> 00:22:07,369
Wow.
519
00:22:07,630 --> 00:22:09,066
Oh, that's a "wow" I can read.
520
00:22:09,284 --> 00:22:10,981
Why aren't we kicking down
Caleb's door right now?
521
00:22:11,155 --> 00:22:13,680
Mainly because we don't know
what door he's behind.
522
00:22:13,854 --> 00:22:15,246
According to his friends
and family,
523
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:17,640
Caleb took his camper
and went off the grid.
524
00:22:17,814 --> 00:22:19,555
Off the grid means woods.
525
00:22:19,729 --> 00:22:22,253
I gave the National Park Service
a heads-up, but...
526
00:22:22,428 --> 00:22:24,125
[phone chimes]
527
00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:27,258
Well...
528
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:30,349
Park rangers
just spotted Caleb's van.
529
00:22:32,176 --> 00:22:35,223
Park ranger says
camper van is just up ahead.
530
00:22:35,397 --> 00:22:37,443
This guy gets kicked off
one game show,
531
00:22:37,617 --> 00:22:39,140
comes out here to play Survivor.
532
00:22:39,314 --> 00:22:40,533
It's been a few weeks.
533
00:22:40,707 --> 00:22:42,535
Maybe he'll be happy
to see another human.
534
00:22:43,318 --> 00:22:46,234
TORRES:
Uh, I'm not getting that vibe.
535
00:22:52,806 --> 00:22:55,548
PARKER:
Caleb Silver? NCIS!
536
00:22:56,462 --> 00:22:58,377
[engine starts]
537
00:23:01,205 --> 00:23:04,600
[engine squealing]
538
00:23:05,601 --> 00:23:06,950
TORRES:
You put a pinecone
539
00:23:07,168 --> 00:23:08,909
- in the tailpipe?
- Couldn't find a banana.
540
00:23:09,083 --> 00:23:11,999
[ignition sputtering]
541
00:23:12,173 --> 00:23:13,348
NCIS!
542
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:15,785
- PARKER: Let me see your hands!
- Okay. Okay!
543
00:23:15,959 --> 00:23:16,960
Out of the van!
544
00:23:17,221 --> 00:23:19,006
Okay. All right.
545
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,660
Ah!
546
00:23:20,834 --> 00:23:22,575
[panting]:
Okay. Thank God.
547
00:23:22,749 --> 00:23:24,838
I thought you guys
were debt collectors.
548
00:23:25,708 --> 00:23:28,624
Wait, NCIS isn't a bank, right?
549
00:23:28,885 --> 00:23:30,496
Well, that's a new one.
550
00:23:30,757 --> 00:23:34,674
We're investigating the murder
of Petty Officer Mark Brogan.
551
00:23:38,547 --> 00:23:40,549
Can't believe Mark's dead.
552
00:23:40,723 --> 00:23:42,290
I heard you weren't a fan.
553
00:23:42,464 --> 00:23:45,162
It was a game show.
Mark was my competition.
554
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:49,471
We were rivals, but it was...
all for fun.
555
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:52,518
Didn't seem like it was too much
fun when you punched him.
556
00:23:52,692 --> 00:23:55,129
- We have the footage.
- CALEB: I don't want to see it.
557
00:23:55,303 --> 00:23:57,392
Come on, man. P-Put it away!
558
00:23:59,002 --> 00:23:59,916
Sorry.
559
00:24:00,090 --> 00:24:01,614
I-I... [sighs]
560
00:24:01,788 --> 00:24:03,050
I don't want to relive it.
561
00:24:03,311 --> 00:24:05,618
Losing 20 grand
would piss anybody off.
562
00:24:05,792 --> 00:24:08,534
Yeah, sure, I was mad
about the money, but
563
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,493
I wasn't thinking straight.
Okay?
564
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:12,929
Jackpot barely fed us.
565
00:24:13,147 --> 00:24:15,802
He kept us up all night.
Humiliated us.
566
00:24:15,976 --> 00:24:17,630
Yeah, he wants you to crack.
567
00:24:17,804 --> 00:24:19,066
Exactly.
568
00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:21,547
And if it happened on camera,
even better.
569
00:24:21,721 --> 00:24:23,462
More drama, more clicks.
570
00:24:23,636 --> 00:24:24,898
I complained to Jackpot.
571
00:24:25,202 --> 00:24:27,814
Next thing you know,
he kicks me off the show.
572
00:24:27,988 --> 00:24:30,643
- That seems kind of petty.
- CALEB: You got no idea.
573
00:24:30,817 --> 00:24:32,601
Kid goes after anybody
who's a threat.
574
00:24:32,862 --> 00:24:35,604
That's why, when I told him that
I was going to the police...
575
00:24:35,778 --> 00:24:37,214
He didn't take it well?
576
00:24:37,388 --> 00:24:38,955
Let's just say that somebody
577
00:24:39,129 --> 00:24:41,610
leaked my personal information
online.
578
00:24:41,784 --> 00:24:43,046
I got my identity stolen.
579
00:24:43,220 --> 00:24:44,657
It ruined my life.
580
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:47,050
All right, all right, so are you
sure that it was Jackpot?
581
00:24:47,224 --> 00:24:49,618
Well, it can't be
a coincidence, but...
582
00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,707
nobody believed me.
583
00:24:51,881 --> 00:24:53,404
Nobody except Mark.
584
00:24:53,579 --> 00:24:55,537
Mark?
585
00:24:56,364 --> 00:24:58,061
The two of you have talked
since you fought?
586
00:24:58,322 --> 00:25:00,499
Yeah, Mark heard about
my information getting leaked,
587
00:25:00,673 --> 00:25:01,587
and he reached out.
588
00:25:01,761 --> 00:25:03,763
Said he'd dig into Jackpot.
589
00:25:04,633 --> 00:25:05,895
Look where that got him.
590
00:25:06,069 --> 00:25:07,593
[sighs]
591
00:25:07,984 --> 00:25:10,160
Blaming Jackpot for a leak,
that's one thing, but murder?
592
00:25:10,334 --> 00:25:13,120
Guys like him don't get rich
by playing nice.
593
00:25:13,294 --> 00:25:15,252
[cash register sound effect
dings on phone]
594
00:25:15,426 --> 00:25:17,777
[sighs] Speak of the devil.
595
00:25:17,951 --> 00:25:19,474
Jackpot just posted.
596
00:25:19,648 --> 00:25:20,649
You still follow him?
597
00:25:20,823 --> 00:25:22,390
Guy destroyed my life.
598
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:23,957
Damn right I keep tabs on him.
599
00:25:24,218 --> 00:25:26,655
Looks like Jackpot
found a new target.
600
00:25:26,829 --> 00:25:28,352
There's even a video.
601
00:25:29,179 --> 00:25:32,705
"NCIS Violently Attacks
Jackpot Studios."
602
00:25:32,879 --> 00:25:35,969
Violently? Give me a break.
603
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:39,146
Looks like Jackpot just
turned you into the villains.

- For Jackpot. Terrible for us.
- That's not what happened.
609
00:25:57,164 --> 00:25:59,514
Well, that's the power
of editing.
610
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,298
Recut some scenes,
add new music,
611
00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:04,258
and even The Shining can
look like a warm family film.
612
00:26:04,432 --> 00:26:05,607
Nobody's gonna fall for that.

00:26:05,781 --> 00:26:07,217
TONY:
His fans already have.
614
00:26:07,478 --> 00:26:09,785
Our switchboard's
been swamped all morning.
615
00:26:10,525 --> 00:26:13,876
And I am even catching
some heat from up top.
616
00:26:14,137 --> 00:26:15,965
- SECNAV?
- Worse.
617
00:26:16,139 --> 00:26:18,794
Tali. She and her friends think
618
00:26:19,055 --> 00:26:22,319
Daddy DiNozzo is trying to
destroy their favorite YouTuber.
619
00:26:22,493 --> 00:26:24,495
What does that mean
for the Anderson case?
620
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,454
Who told you?
621
00:26:26,628 --> 00:26:27,890
Lucky guess.
622
00:26:28,151 --> 00:26:30,458
Well, the trip to D.C.
has been canceled,
623
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:35,245
and I am back in texting jail,
where all I get is "K."
624
00:26:35,419 --> 00:26:38,509
Well, then let's lean on Jackpot
to take down the video.
625
00:26:38,684 --> 00:26:40,337
No, the Internet is forever.
626
00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:43,645
There is no un-ringing that
bell, but we can solve a murder.
627
00:26:43,819 --> 00:26:46,517
So... what do we know?
628
00:26:46,692 --> 00:26:49,390
We know that someone leaked
a former contestant's
629
00:26:49,564 --> 00:26:51,087
personal information online.
630
00:26:51,392 --> 00:26:53,699
And Petty Officer Brogan
was trying to figure out who.
631
00:26:53,873 --> 00:26:55,265
Thought it might be Jackpot.
632
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,833
But before Brogan can prove it,
he winds up dead.
633
00:26:58,007 --> 00:26:59,618
If Jackpot is involved,
634
00:26:59,879 --> 00:27:02,185
maybe he dropped this video
to distract us.
635
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,927
I will not be influenced
by an influencer.
636
00:27:05,101 --> 00:27:08,627
I'll handle Jordan Jackpot
and his little video, too.
637
00:27:08,801 --> 00:27:11,064
We'll see if Brogan reached out
to any other contestants.
638
00:27:11,238 --> 00:27:13,327
Yeah, one of them might know
something else about the leak.
639
00:27:13,501 --> 00:27:14,807
[phone chimes]
640
00:27:17,897 --> 00:27:19,768
Another "K."
641
00:27:21,465 --> 00:27:25,905
Yes. I understand, but NDAs
do not apply in federal cases.
642
00:27:26,949 --> 00:27:28,342
Hello?
643
00:27:29,212 --> 00:27:30,649
That is the fifth hang-up
in a row.
644
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:32,520
I'm starting
to take this personally.
645
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:36,219
Yeah, the contestants are using
the NDA as a... as an excuse.
646
00:27:36,393 --> 00:27:37,917
Yeah, they're afraid
if they talk to us,
647
00:27:38,091 --> 00:27:39,396
they're gonna lose
the prize money.
648
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:42,182
Actually, we may not
need them to talk.
649
00:27:42,356 --> 00:27:43,879
Just read the show's contract.
650
00:27:44,053 --> 00:27:46,055
Wait, what? All 60 pages?
651
00:27:46,316 --> 00:27:49,711
Every single one. Look what
I found buried on the last page.
652
00:27:49,972 --> 00:27:52,671
"All contestant communication
must be conducted
653
00:27:52,845 --> 00:27:55,064
exclusively through
the Jackpot's Choice App."
654
00:27:55,238 --> 00:27:57,545
This kid already has a game
show. He needs an app, too?
655
00:27:57,719 --> 00:27:59,765
Maybe that's how
Petty Officer Brogan
656
00:27:59,939 --> 00:28:02,071
communicated with
the other contestants.
657
00:28:02,245 --> 00:28:03,420
How do we get it?
658
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:06,467
We don't. It's private.
Invite only.
659
00:28:06,641 --> 00:28:08,904
Yeah, no way that Jackpot
will give us access.
660
00:28:09,165 --> 00:28:11,864
And if he does, he'll erase
anything incriminating first.
661
00:28:12,038 --> 00:28:14,083
Maybe we can get the director
662
00:28:14,257 --> 00:28:15,955
to scare Jackpot
into giving us an invite.
663
00:28:16,129 --> 00:28:19,741
The words "federal indictment"
are pretty terrifying.
664
00:28:20,002 --> 00:28:23,745
Look, if that doesn't freak
him out, I don't know what will.
665
00:28:24,659 --> 00:28:27,967
Jordan Jackpot here
with NCIS Director
666
00:28:28,141 --> 00:28:29,751
Anthony DiNozzo.
667
00:28:29,925 --> 00:28:31,274
Hey, Tali. Love you.
668
00:28:31,448 --> 00:28:34,234
Quick PSA, fam.
NCIS and I just talked,
669
00:28:34,408 --> 00:28:37,585
and we are all good now,
so stop blowing up their phones
670
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,152
and roasting them online.
671
00:28:39,326 --> 00:28:41,894
Chill out or lose!
672
00:28:42,068 --> 00:28:44,331
[chuckles] Love you guys. Peace.

[sighs]
674
00:28:46,246 --> 00:28:48,639
[chuckles] That was perfect.
That's great. Thank you.
675
00:28:48,814 --> 00:28:52,295
Hey, you, uh, you owned up
to your mistake and apologized.
676
00:28:52,469 --> 00:28:54,080
Mad respect.
677
00:28:54,297 --> 00:28:56,430
I thought the director was gonna
make Jackpot sweat a little.
678
00:28:56,604 --> 00:28:58,824
Relax. He-he always has a plan.
679
00:28:58,998 --> 00:29:00,260
The kid smeared us online.
680
00:29:00,521 --> 00:29:02,088
The director should be
tearing him apart.
681
00:29:02,262 --> 00:29:03,393
Maybe he is.
682
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:04,873
- Here's Jackpot.
- [phone camera clicks]
683
00:29:05,047 --> 00:29:07,223
He literally just took a selfie.
684
00:29:07,484 --> 00:29:09,269
My daughter is gonna
lose her mind
685
00:29:09,443 --> 00:29:10,749
when she finds out about this.
686
00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:12,620
Always happy to help out a fan.
687
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:14,187
Not gonna lie,
688
00:29:14,491 --> 00:29:15,754
I thought you were gonna
chew me out over that video.
689
00:29:15,928 --> 00:29:17,973
You tripled traffic
to our website,
690
00:29:18,147 --> 00:29:19,888
which got me thinking,
691
00:29:20,062 --> 00:29:22,499
would you ever want to do
a recruitment video for us?
692
00:29:22,673 --> 00:29:25,415
- Oh, my God, he's serious.
- Seriously dead to me.
693
00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:28,288
Have your people call my people.
694
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:33,206
Uh, look, I got to bounce,
but I will post that video soon.
695
00:29:33,380 --> 00:29:36,296
Actually, can I grab a copy
for my public affairs office?
696
00:29:36,557 --> 00:29:37,993
Sure. AirDrop okay?
697
00:29:38,167 --> 00:29:39,952
- Yeah.
- Yeah, right.
698
00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:41,997
[phone chimes]
699
00:29:42,171 --> 00:29:43,477
Thanks, J-Dog.
700
00:29:44,739 --> 00:29:47,611
So, look, I know you want
to impress Tali, but
701
00:29:47,873 --> 00:29:49,048
this is not the way.
702
00:29:49,222 --> 00:29:50,658
KASIE:
Okay, so people can trash talk
703
00:29:50,832 --> 00:29:53,139
NCIS as long as they film
an apology video?
704
00:29:53,313 --> 00:29:56,185
The apology video was for PR.
705
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:57,796
This was for us.
706
00:29:57,970 --> 00:29:59,798
You got a Jackpot
authorization token?
707
00:30:00,059 --> 00:30:02,757
When he sent you
the original video, he didn't
708
00:30:03,018 --> 00:30:04,367
scrub the export.
709
00:30:04,585 --> 00:30:07,153
This got us access to the app
that we needed.
710
00:30:07,327 --> 00:30:10,069
Feel free to brag
to McGee about this.
711
00:30:11,287 --> 00:30:14,813
Told you. He always has a plan.
712
00:30:17,163 --> 00:30:18,860
Did the director's ruse work?
713
00:30:19,034 --> 00:30:21,863
Oh, yeah. I cracked
the Jackpot's Choice App.
714
00:30:22,037 --> 00:30:23,256
It's got everything.
715
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:24,779
Applications, schedules,
716
00:30:24,953 --> 00:30:26,955
private chats. I was right.
717
00:30:27,129 --> 00:30:28,522
Jeff and Rhonda were hooking up.
718
00:30:28,696 --> 00:30:31,090
- And they are...?
- Mortal enemies on the show.
719
00:30:31,264 --> 00:30:34,049
- Mm.
- Their chats are spicy. [laughs]
720
00:30:34,223 --> 00:30:35,398
You want to read some?
721
00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:37,139
Uh, that is a negative,
Ghost Rider.
722
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:39,576
I'm only interested in
Petty Officer Brogan's messages.
723
00:30:39,750 --> 00:30:42,014
Your loss.
Brogan's chats are all P.G.
724
00:30:42,275 --> 00:30:43,450
Call times, food orders,
725
00:30:43,624 --> 00:30:45,626
boring stuff.
Except for this chat
726
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,281
with a user who
calls himself "TheHammer."
727
00:30:48,455 --> 00:30:49,673
Not exactly subtle.
728
00:30:49,935 --> 00:30:52,024
Brogan told TheHammer
that he found a bug.
729
00:30:52,198 --> 00:30:54,287
Called it illegal and dangerous.
730
00:30:54,461 --> 00:30:56,115
Then Brogan demanded
they meet up.
731
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:58,334
- Did they?
- Chats ended after that.
732
00:30:58,595 --> 00:31:00,075
Then Brogan ended up dead.
733
00:31:00,423 --> 00:31:02,948
I'm starting to think TheHammer
is more like "TheKiller."
734
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:04,427
You got an ID?
735
00:31:04,775 --> 00:31:06,516
Working on it. Every account's
tied to an email
736
00:31:06,690 --> 00:31:09,084
except this one, so I
cross-referenced log-ins, and--
737
00:31:09,258 --> 00:31:11,870
- [computer chimes]
- Ooh. Just got the results.
738
00:31:12,131 --> 00:31:14,263
Let's see who
this Hammer man is.
739
00:31:14,437 --> 00:31:15,917
[computer chirps]
740
00:31:16,091 --> 00:31:17,745
Huh.
741
00:31:19,790 --> 00:31:23,533
Look, my client already
apologized to your director.
742
00:31:25,361 --> 00:31:27,886
This isn't about Jackpot.
[sighs]
743
00:31:28,147 --> 00:31:30,236
It's about TheHammer.
744
00:31:31,019 --> 00:31:32,891
McGEE:
Not sure the nickname fits you.
745
00:31:33,152 --> 00:31:36,764
You should see me in court.
Maybe you will.
746
00:31:37,678 --> 00:31:39,985
How'd you get these?
They're private.
747
00:31:40,159 --> 00:31:41,769
Nothing's private
with a warrant.
748
00:31:42,030 --> 00:31:43,292
McGEE:
We looked into the bug
749
00:31:43,553 --> 00:31:45,120
that Petty Officer Brogan
messaged you about.
750
00:31:45,294 --> 00:31:47,296
Found it in
the Jackpot's Choice App.
751
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:50,125
It's exposing
user personal information.
752
00:31:50,386 --> 00:31:52,127
McGEE:
It's exactly what happened
to Caleb Silver.
753
00:31:52,301 --> 00:31:53,694
That app ruined his life.
754
00:31:54,042 --> 00:31:55,435
CHELSEA:
Brogan had concerns
about the bug.
755
00:31:55,609 --> 00:31:58,612
I told him the app
is only used by contestants.
756
00:31:58,873 --> 00:32:02,311
Worst case,
only affect a few people.
757
00:32:02,485 --> 00:32:03,791
Yeah, a few people today,
758
00:32:04,009 --> 00:32:05,358
but next month?
That could be millions.
759
00:32:05,532 --> 00:32:06,837
What are you talking about?
760
00:32:07,012 --> 00:32:08,361
Okay, you can drop the act.
761
00:32:08,535 --> 00:32:10,363
We know that your boss
is launching this app
762
00:32:10,537 --> 00:32:12,931
with the new season
of Jackpot's Choose or Lose.
763
00:32:13,192 --> 00:32:15,934
McGEE:
Jackpot has 50 million
followers.
764
00:32:16,195 --> 00:32:18,197
That's 50 million users at risk.
765
00:32:18,371 --> 00:32:20,373
I can call the company
that developed the app.
766
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:21,504
They'll fix it.
767
00:32:21,678 --> 00:32:23,289
No, they won't
768
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:25,334
because they're the ones
that created the bug.
769
00:32:25,508 --> 00:32:26,814
It wasn't a mistake.
770
00:32:27,075 --> 00:32:30,252
That company wanted
to siphon users' data.
771
00:32:30,905 --> 00:32:33,864
- Why would they want to do that?
- Because it's a front.
772
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:37,520
For the Russian
Federal Security System.
773
00:32:37,694 --> 00:32:40,045
McGEE:
The new and improved KGB.
774
00:32:40,219 --> 00:32:42,830
You paid the Russians
to build that app.
775
00:32:43,004 --> 00:32:44,919
Oh, my God.
776
00:32:45,093 --> 00:32:46,660
This isn't a software problem.
777
00:32:46,834 --> 00:32:48,444
It's a national security threat.
778
00:32:48,618 --> 00:32:52,405
No, no, no, look,
I knew about the bug,
779
00:32:52,579 --> 00:32:55,930
but I had no idea that
the Russians were involved.
780
00:32:56,104 --> 00:32:58,150
Jackpot gave me a tight budget.
781
00:32:58,324 --> 00:33:00,369
I had to hire the cheapest
developers I could find.
782
00:33:00,543 --> 00:33:02,545
Your millionaire boss
wouldn't give you the money?
783
00:33:02,719 --> 00:33:04,025
That's your defense?
784
00:33:04,286 --> 00:33:06,854
Jackpot's a child.
He can't run a company.
785
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:11,032
You think I wanted to work
for a Gen Z YouTuber? [scoffs]
786
00:33:11,293 --> 00:33:13,904
I studied
constitutional law at Yale.
787
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,037
Now, I get to argue over
788
00:33:16,298 --> 00:33:18,126
who owns the copyright
to a fart sound.
789
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:20,041
Didn't know you could
copyright those.
790
00:33:20,215 --> 00:33:22,043
After Caleb's information
was leaked,
791
00:33:22,217 --> 00:33:24,567
these developers
completely ghosted me, so...
792
00:33:25,394 --> 00:33:26,874
...I reached out
to Brogan for help.
793
00:33:27,048 --> 00:33:28,180
You approached Brogan?
794
00:33:28,441 --> 00:33:30,660
He was a Navy cyber specialist.
795
00:33:30,921 --> 00:33:32,793
I wanted to fix this, fast.
796
00:33:32,967 --> 00:33:34,403
Why didn't you tell us
about this?
797
00:33:34,577 --> 00:33:36,971
If word got out
that we put users at risk,
798
00:33:37,145 --> 00:33:40,670
hundreds of people who work on
the show would lose their jobs.
799
00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:44,239
Brogan wasn't trying
to expose the company.
800
00:33:44,413 --> 00:33:46,372
He was trying to save it.
801
00:33:54,902 --> 00:33:57,296
How many holes did we punch
in the lawyer's story?
802
00:33:57,470 --> 00:33:58,732
Surprisingly, none.
803
00:33:58,993 --> 00:34:00,560
KNIGHT:
The lawyer's emails confirm
804
00:34:00,734 --> 00:34:03,345
that she hired Petty Officer
Brogan to look into the leak.
805
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:05,086
McGEE: And the files
she sent over show that
806
00:34:05,260 --> 00:34:06,740
Brogan was working on the app.
807
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:08,350
In fact, every time
he logged in,
808
00:34:08,524 --> 00:34:10,439
it triggered
a remote monitoring system.
809
00:34:10,613 --> 00:34:12,702
Yeah, he was being recorded
while he worked.
810
00:34:12,876 --> 00:34:14,052
That's pretty creepy.
811
00:34:14,313 --> 00:34:15,183
When was the last time
he logged in?
812
00:34:15,357 --> 00:34:16,663
Let's see.
813
00:34:16,837 --> 00:34:18,099
The night he died.
814
00:34:18,273 --> 00:34:19,666
Please tell me you have footage.
815
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,233
Queuing it up now.
816
00:34:22,408 --> 00:34:24,410
I'd recognize
that piggy bank anywhere.
817
00:34:24,584 --> 00:34:26,760
TORRES:
Yeah, Jackpot Studios.
818
00:34:26,934 --> 00:34:29,284
Jackpot swore no one
was there that night.

00:34:37,075 --> 00:34:38,380

Brogan looks like
he saw a ghost.
827
00:34:43,516 --> 00:34:44,908
Or his killer.
828
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,519
Check the timestamp.
It's right before he died.
829
00:34:46,693 --> 00:34:48,347
Who else was there that night?
830
00:34:48,608 --> 00:34:51,872
And why are they playing
the game show's theme song?
831
00:34:56,442 --> 00:34:58,618
Are you sure the song
came from here?
832
00:34:58,792 --> 00:35:02,012
Brogan looked right here
at Jackpot's office
833
00:35:02,274 --> 00:35:03,405
when he heard it play.
834
00:35:03,579 --> 00:35:05,842

Maybe a computer or...
835
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,715
or a speaker somewhere?

Wow, check this out.

00:35:10,456 --> 00:35:13,502

838
00:35:13,676 --> 00:35:15,504

TORRES: Whoa.
Jackpot's got a secret safe.
843
00:35:25,688 --> 00:35:28,430
Someone must've moved the award
to get to it.
844
00:35:28,604 --> 00:35:30,128
And Brogan must've caught them.
845
00:35:30,389 --> 00:35:33,131
What are you doing in here?
This is harassment!
846
00:35:33,305 --> 00:35:36,264
Mm, well, not according
to this warrant.
847
00:35:37,309 --> 00:35:38,962
Who else has the combination
to your safe?
848
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,269
No one. Just me. Why?
849
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:43,010
'Cause we believe
Petty Officer Brogan
850
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,143
was murdered while someone
was accessing it.
851
00:35:45,317 --> 00:35:47,406
And you just said you're
the only one with the code.
852
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:49,364
I wasn't here the night he died.
853
00:35:49,538 --> 00:35:50,800
You have an alibi?
854
00:35:50,974 --> 00:35:53,063
Maybe someone
was just trying to rob me?
855
00:35:53,238 --> 00:35:55,675
Okay. We need you
to open the safe.
856
00:35:55,849 --> 00:35:57,938
I mean, is that
really necessary?
857
00:35:58,199 --> 00:35:59,679
Okay, you have a choice here.
858
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:01,681
Either you open the safe,
or you become a prime suspect
859
00:36:01,855 --> 00:36:03,465
in Petty Officer
Brogan's murder.
860
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:05,859
Choose or lose, Jackpot.
861
00:36:07,991 --> 00:36:10,516
What's up, guys?
It's your boy Jackpot here.
862
00:36:10,690 --> 00:36:13,345
And if you want my money,
you got to choose,
863
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:17,653
chug a jar of pickle juice
or go home a loser.
864
00:36:17,827 --> 00:36:19,438
Now, what's it gonna be?
865
00:36:19,612 --> 00:36:21,440
Choose or Lose.
866
00:36:21,614 --> 00:36:23,181
[sighs]
867
00:36:23,398 --> 00:36:26,271
I'm confused. What does this
video have to do with your case?
868
00:36:26,445 --> 00:36:27,837
This video belongs to Jordan.
869
00:36:28,011 --> 00:36:31,145
It was on a, uh, USB drive
inside his safe.
870
00:36:31,319 --> 00:36:33,365
And we think you stole it.
871
00:36:33,539 --> 00:36:34,670
What?
872
00:36:35,932 --> 00:36:38,196
Why would I want to steal
some stupid home video?
873
00:36:38,370 --> 00:36:40,589
KNIGHT:
Well, it's not just
some stupid home video.
874
00:36:40,763 --> 00:36:42,939
It's proof that Jordan
isn't who he says he is.
875
00:36:43,113 --> 00:36:45,681
You see that kid
playing Jackpot?
876
00:36:45,855 --> 00:36:46,769
It's not Jordan.
877
00:36:46,943 --> 00:36:48,554
It's you.
878
00:36:48,728 --> 00:36:51,034
KNIGHT: You created
the Jackpot character
879
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:54,386
and the game
Jackpot's Choose or Lose.
880
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,214
PARKER:
Jordan built his empire
881
00:36:56,388 --> 00:36:58,825
claiming that he was
a self-made genius.
882
00:36:58,999 --> 00:37:01,044
And if that video got out,
883
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:02,872
his entire reputation
could be at stake.
884
00:37:03,046 --> 00:37:05,962
Jordan and I have been friends
since we were kids.
885
00:37:06,136 --> 00:37:08,748
And yeah, I came up
with Jackpot, but
886
00:37:08,922 --> 00:37:11,229
Jordan was always better
on camera.
887
00:37:11,403 --> 00:37:12,882
I didn't care
he took credit. I just...
888
00:37:13,056 --> 00:37:15,189
liked making videos
with my friend.
889
00:37:15,363 --> 00:37:18,018
See? Told you
this was a dead end.
890
00:37:18,192 --> 00:37:19,454
Nathan wouldn't do this.
891
00:37:19,672 --> 00:37:21,064
We've been friends
since second grade.
892
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,892
That was a long time ago.
893
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:24,677
He convinced me
to start making videos.
894
00:37:24,851 --> 00:37:27,027
I mean, he believed in me
before anyone else did.
895
00:37:27,201 --> 00:37:28,681
People change.
896
00:37:28,942 --> 00:37:30,335
Not Nathan.
897
00:37:30,596 --> 00:37:32,162
I didn't steal anything, okay?
898
00:37:32,424 --> 00:37:36,471
Jordan's USB drive logs every
computer it's plugged into.
899
00:37:36,645 --> 00:37:38,778
And it was plugged into
your laptop
900
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:40,867
the night Petty Officer Brogan
was killed.
901
00:37:41,128 --> 00:37:43,086
PARKER:
You thought you were alone
in the office.
902
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:45,437
KNIGHT:
But he caught you. You panicked.
903
00:37:45,611 --> 00:37:47,090
Couldn't let him
go to the police.
904
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:48,396
Things got out of hand.
905
00:37:48,570 --> 00:37:49,876
[shudders]
906
00:37:50,137 --> 00:37:52,226
I've worked with Jordan
for 14 years.
907
00:37:52,487 --> 00:37:54,402
He's always taken care of me.
If I wanted revenge,
908
00:37:54,663 --> 00:37:56,317
- why wait till now?
- PARKER: Because of the app.
909
00:37:56,491 --> 00:37:58,188
When Jordan launches this app,
910
00:37:58,363 --> 00:38:01,017
his media empire
is gonna double.
911
00:38:01,191 --> 00:38:04,369
And for the first time
in 14 years,
912
00:38:04,543 --> 00:38:05,805
you won't get a cut.
913
00:38:05,979 --> 00:38:07,720
We subpoenaed the contract.
914
00:38:09,025 --> 00:38:10,505
You're not listed anywhere.
915
00:38:10,766 --> 00:38:12,681
I-I didn't know Nathan
got cut out of the contract.
916
00:38:12,855 --> 00:38:13,813
But you signed it.
917
00:38:13,987 --> 00:38:15,336
Legal should've told me.
918
00:38:15,641 --> 00:38:17,904
Well, it's Legal's job
to protect the company.
919
00:38:18,078 --> 00:38:20,515
It's your job
to protect your people.
920
00:38:20,689 --> 00:38:22,735
KNIGHT:
After everything
the two of you built together,
921
00:38:22,909 --> 00:38:25,085
Jordan cut you out.
922
00:38:25,868 --> 00:38:28,784
That's an odd way to show
that you're a friend.
923
00:38:30,699 --> 00:38:32,397
NATHAN:
He's not my friend.
924
00:38:32,571 --> 00:38:34,094
Friends go out for drinks.
925
00:38:34,834 --> 00:38:37,924
They take care of each other.
They show up when you need them.
926
00:38:38,838 --> 00:38:40,970
My mom died...
927
00:38:41,144 --> 00:38:43,059
three months ago.
928
00:38:46,541 --> 00:38:49,283
I kept waiting
for Jordan to call.
929
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:52,504
But he never did.
930
00:38:52,808 --> 00:38:54,288
NATHAN:
I tried to talk to Jordan,
but he was
931
00:38:54,462 --> 00:38:57,160
in meetings or filming content.
932
00:38:57,335 --> 00:38:59,902
So, you stole the video
to teach Jordan a lesson.
933
00:39:00,076 --> 00:39:02,427
I wanted Jordan to finally
give me some credit.
934
00:39:03,471 --> 00:39:05,691
I figured, once I posted
the video, he'd...
935
00:39:05,865 --> 00:39:07,083
He'd have to tell the truth.
936
00:39:07,388 --> 00:39:09,347
The world needed to see
the real Jordan!
937
00:39:10,478 --> 00:39:13,742
He uses people,
and then he forgets about them.
938
00:39:14,787 --> 00:39:19,139
Nathan's mom...
I kept meaning to reach out.
939
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:21,271
But you didn't.
940
00:39:21,533 --> 00:39:23,665
I was just so busy.
941
00:39:24,579 --> 00:39:26,189
You know, it's easy
to do the right thing
942
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:27,887
when the cameras
are rolling, but
943
00:39:28,061 --> 00:39:30,977
it's a lot harder when
nobody's watching, isn't it?
944
00:39:31,151 --> 00:39:32,544
My friend needed me,
945
00:39:32,805 --> 00:39:34,676
and I couldn't even make time
to talk to him.
946
00:39:35,503 --> 00:39:36,678
Hey.
947
00:39:37,418 --> 00:39:40,813
Sometimes, people just need to
know that you're there for them.
948

951
00:39:56,002 --> 00:39:57,133
Ah.
952
00:39:58,178 --> 00:39:59,527
Appreciate that.
953
00:39:59,701 --> 00:40:01,137

954
00:40:03,009 --> 00:40:06,186
...followers are a lousy
substitute for friends.
955
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:07,840
Is that a new toy from DARPA?
956
00:40:08,014 --> 00:40:11,191
Kasie helped me
modify it, actually.
957
00:40:12,540 --> 00:40:14,673
Tali has one in her room,
958
00:40:14,934 --> 00:40:16,718
so when I touch mine,
959
00:40:16,892 --> 00:40:18,677
it lights up on her end.
960
00:40:18,938 --> 00:40:21,201
- Well, that sounds simple.
- That's the point.
961
00:40:21,462 --> 00:40:25,945
No texts. No emojis.
No "K." Just...
962
00:40:26,206 --> 00:40:27,642
love you.
963
00:40:27,903 --> 00:40:29,252
Huh.
964
00:40:29,688 --> 00:40:31,951
Who would've guessed that
less talking was the solution?
965
00:40:32,125 --> 00:40:34,214
I kept trying to fix things
with more words,
966
00:40:34,388 --> 00:40:35,955
but sometimes,
967
00:40:36,259 --> 00:40:38,436
your kid just needs to know
that you're there for them.
968
00:40:41,047 --> 00:40:42,048
What just happened?
969
00:40:42,222 --> 00:40:43,745
She loves me back.

- [chuckles]
- [phone chimes]
971
00:40:48,315 --> 00:40:51,797
Well, you're not the only one
who's feeling the love today.
972
00:40:54,103 --> 00:40:55,714
Jackpot's giving us money?
973
00:40:55,975 --> 00:40:57,498
Well, he came to realize
that the show
974
00:40:57,672 --> 00:40:59,239
was hurting more people
than helping them,
975
00:40:59,413 --> 00:41:01,807
so instead of launching an app,
Jackpot is starting
976
00:41:01,981 --> 00:41:05,114
a compensation fund for all
the contestants as an apology.
977
00:41:05,288 --> 00:41:08,727
I don't believe Jackpot
actually wants to help us.

would've shown up
in his costume.
982

The kids are gonna be
so disappointed.

Maybe not.

Hope I'm not too late.

It's a big cape to fill,
but I'll do my best.
