That's a ten-year minimum.

Except Erik didn't do it.
He's a good kid.

Plus, he was blocks away
from the robbery.

But he fits the victims'
vague description,

168
00:06:26,864 --> 00:06:28,736

no other witnesses?

they wouldn't release Erik.Why?

175
00:06:43,272 --> 00:06:45,013
Something about he had a fight
in the holding cell.

180
00:06:58,679 --> 00:07:01,072
Not for this poor soul.

181
00:07:01,116 --> 00:07:03,684
Nor the poor soul standing
in front of me.

182
00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:06,034
Zahra reached out.
Said you were a lamb

183
00:07:06,077 --> 00:07:07,644
led to the slaughter.

184
00:07:07,688 --> 00:07:10,255
Well, I will admit
that the first meeting

185
00:07:10,299 --> 00:07:13,302
of the mayor's commission
was less than ideal.

186
00:07:13,345 --> 00:07:15,347
I was told you had a mutiny.

187
00:07:15,391 --> 00:07:18,350
[chuckles] Well,
I wasn't thrown overboard yet.

188
00:07:18,394 --> 00:07:19,917
Who was leading the mutineers?

189
00:07:19,961 --> 00:07:21,092
Michael Holland.

190
00:07:21,136 --> 00:07:23,573
Former police
superintendent.

191
00:07:23,617 --> 00:07:27,011
He isn't exactly interested in
working with tomorrow's leaders.

192
00:07:27,055 --> 00:07:29,361
It seems to me someone
should show them

193
00:07:29,405 --> 00:07:31,494
that they share a common goal.

194
00:07:31,538 --> 00:07:34,497
If only there was someone
on the commission who knew

195
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:37,239
better than anyone about
how to put the city first.

196
00:07:37,282 --> 00:07:38,849
This meant to be a pep talk?

197
00:07:38,893 --> 00:07:41,373
That's your challenge, Dwayne.
Be the bridge.

198
00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:44,899
We'll see if I'm up to the task.

199
00:07:44,942 --> 00:07:46,509
Meantime,

200
00:07:46,553 --> 00:07:47,858
Carter and Sebastian
right to think

201
00:07:47,902 --> 00:07:49,730
our janitor was murdered?

202
00:07:49,773 --> 00:07:51,471
The weight of the car
did crush his body,

203
00:07:51,514 --> 00:07:53,429
but that's not what killed him.

204
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,215
He bled out first from
this cranial fracture.

205
00:07:57,259 --> 00:08:00,828
The depth of the wound had to be
created by an external force.

206
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:03,047
Like someone slammed his head
into something?

207
00:08:03,091 --> 00:08:05,223
And then shoved him
underneath the car

208
00:08:05,267 --> 00:08:06,921
to make it look
like an accident.

209
00:08:06,964 --> 00:08:10,490
If VonRoenn was
stealing secrets from Stennis,

210
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:13,536
that someone may have decided
he was a loose end.

211
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:15,146
[door opens]

212
00:08:15,190 --> 00:08:17,192
Well, allow me to confirm
that our janitor here

213
00:08:17,235 --> 00:08:20,587
was VonRunnin' away
with pilfered secrets.

214
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:24,721
Thought that one was pretty
good, actually. Feel like...

215
00:08:24,765 --> 00:08:26,288
Agree to disagree.

216
00:08:26,331 --> 00:08:27,289
PRIDE:
O-Okay.

217
00:08:27,332 --> 00:08:28,812
What'd you find, Sebastian?

218
00:08:28,856 --> 00:08:30,510
Well, this was hidden
in the door lining

219
00:08:30,553 --> 00:08:31,989
of VonRoenn's car.

220
00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:34,862
It's an LLZO ceramic membrane.

221
00:08:36,254 --> 00:08:39,910
Li7La3Zr2O12 ceramics--

222
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:42,478
it's future tech. Specifically,
it's future battery tech.

223
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,393
I bet you that the scientists
at Stennis are working on that.

224
00:08:44,436 --> 00:08:46,090
Yeah, well, if they are,

225
00:08:46,134 --> 00:08:48,789
I'm guessing VonRoenn
used the key card

226
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:51,966
that NOPD found at his house
to steal this.

227
00:08:52,009 --> 00:08:55,535
But why are batteries
worth killing for?

228
00:08:57,275 --> 00:08:58,581
That was Stennis.

229
00:08:58,625 --> 00:08:59,974
Sebastian was right.

230
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:02,280
VonRoenn cloned a key card
belonging to an engineer

231
00:09:02,324 --> 00:09:04,979
working on next-gen lithium-ion
batteries for the Navy.

232
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:06,763
How long did VonRoenn
have the card?

233
00:09:06,807 --> 00:09:07,808
CARTER:
Engineer said he
misplaced the card

234
00:09:07,851 --> 00:09:09,636
about a year ago.

235
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,855
Found it a few hours later,
so he didn't report it.

236
00:09:11,899 --> 00:09:13,553
Was anything missing
from the labs?

237
00:09:13,596 --> 00:09:15,772
Not on the initial sweep,
but a closer inspection

238
00:09:15,816 --> 00:09:18,079
revealed several battery models
had been tampered with.

239
00:09:18,122 --> 00:09:19,559
It was happening
for months.

240
00:09:19,602 --> 00:09:21,604
So he was stealing tech.GREGORIO: But for who?

241
00:09:21,648 --> 00:09:24,041
VonRoenn's file doesn't
suggest any connection

242
00:09:24,085 --> 00:09:26,000
to a foreign agency
or government.

243
00:09:26,043 --> 00:09:27,610
Yeah, otherwise he wouldn't have
passed the background check

244
00:09:27,654 --> 00:09:29,786
to get the job.So he was approached

245
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:31,222
after he was employed
at Stennis.

246
00:09:31,266 --> 00:09:32,615
That means a partner.

247
00:09:32,659 --> 00:09:33,790
GREGORIO:A partner who
could've killed him.

248
00:09:33,834 --> 00:09:35,009
What exactly are these

249
00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:37,011
fancy-schmancy batteries for?

250
00:09:37,054 --> 00:09:38,839
Navy's push for
greener technologies.

251
00:09:38,882 --> 00:09:40,667
Stennis is designing these
to power

252
00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:42,494
transport vehicles
and trucks.

253
00:09:42,538 --> 00:09:43,974
Yeah, but it's more than that.

254
00:09:47,064 --> 00:09:49,719
It's the future of energy.

255
00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:52,461
Lithium-ion batteries
are a $30 billion industry,

256
00:09:52,504 --> 00:09:53,810
keeps growing every year.

257
00:09:53,854 --> 00:09:55,507
If VonRoenn was murdered
to cover up

258
00:09:55,551 --> 00:09:57,161
who he was working with...

259
00:09:57,205 --> 00:09:58,467
Then does it stop with him?

260
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,251
Or are more bodies gonna pile up

261
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:02,166
to protect this investment?

262
00:10:14,570 --> 00:10:16,616
Gregorio and Sebastian find
anything at the janitor's house

263
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:18,095
that connects him to a partner?

264
00:10:18,139 --> 00:10:19,880
Yeah, they're tearing it
apart now.

265
00:10:19,923 --> 00:10:21,533
Aside from the ceramic film
found in VonRoenn's car,

266
00:10:21,577 --> 00:10:23,666
there's no trace
of those batteries.

267
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:25,668
What about the killer?Suspect knew what
he was doing.

268
00:10:25,712 --> 00:10:27,670
Left no physical evidence
at the crime scene.

269
00:10:27,714 --> 00:10:29,324
Slipped in and out
almost without a trace.

270
00:10:29,367 --> 00:10:30,891
Almost?

271
00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:32,675
Next-door neighbor came across
an unknown man

272
00:10:32,719 --> 00:10:34,764
in the alley outside
VonRoenn's house.

273
00:10:34,808 --> 00:10:37,114
Yeah, about an hour before TOD.Description?

274
00:10:37,158 --> 00:10:39,073
It was dark.
She said he had a thick beard

275
00:10:39,116 --> 00:10:40,727
and sinewy frame.

276
00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:42,729
"Sinewy"?

277
00:10:42,772 --> 00:10:44,426
That's Carter's words,
not the neighbor's.

278
00:10:44,469 --> 00:10:46,384
She said he was lean
and muscular.

279
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:48,691
Why use two words
when you can use a single,

280
00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:51,215
stronger one? Sinewy.

281
00:10:51,259 --> 00:10:53,304
The neighbor's sitting down
with the sketch artist now.

282
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,350
PRIDE:
Okay, VonRoenn

283
00:10:55,393 --> 00:10:57,265
had no clear ties
to a foreign government,

284
00:10:57,308 --> 00:10:59,615
no obvious ideology.

285
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:02,749
And that leaves only one
very powerful motive.

286
00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:04,054
[scoffs]
Profit.

287
00:11:04,098 --> 00:11:05,360
CARTER:Explains him
purchasing a classic car

288
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:06,970
on a janitor's salary.

289
00:11:07,014 --> 00:11:08,450
Got to be a money trail.

290
00:11:08,493 --> 00:11:10,670
And you know Triple-P
gonna bring you the goods.

291
00:11:10,713 --> 00:11:12,933
What you got, P?I got you a receipt

292
00:11:12,976 --> 00:11:16,023
to a safety-deposit box our
janitor opened 12 months ago.

293
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:18,242
HANNAH:That lines up
with when VonRoenn

294
00:11:18,286 --> 00:11:20,462
cloned those key cards
to access those labs.

295
00:11:20,505 --> 00:11:22,290
We get access to the box?

296
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:24,814
U.S. Attorney got a warrant.
The box was stuffed with cash.

297
00:11:24,858 --> 00:11:26,033
50K and change.

298
00:11:26,076 --> 00:11:27,904
Bank records show
that VonRoenn

299
00:11:27,948 --> 00:11:30,080
was accessing the box
about every other month.

300
00:11:30,124 --> 00:11:31,734
Yeah, he was getting paid
in installments.

301
00:11:31,778 --> 00:11:34,041
We can find that trail.

302
00:11:34,084 --> 00:11:36,521
Track his movements to locate
who was paying him.

303
00:11:36,565 --> 00:11:37,348
That could be our partner.

304
00:11:37,392 --> 00:11:38,872
And maybe our killer.

305
00:11:38,915 --> 00:11:42,832
Are you, uh, comfortable
calling in a favor

306
00:11:42,876 --> 00:11:45,530
from your friends at DIA?

307
00:11:45,574 --> 00:11:46,531
Yeah, I can get them
scanning for chatter

308
00:11:46,575 --> 00:11:47,707
about battery tech.

309
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:49,534
Yeah, I'll check back in soon.

310
00:11:49,578 --> 00:11:51,798
Right now I've got to go meet

311
00:11:51,841 --> 00:11:54,539
with a stubborn old mule.

312
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,719
[ship horn blows]

313
00:11:59,762 --> 00:12:00,676
If this is a "play
nice" meeting,

314
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,156
you're wasting
your breath.

315
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:04,767
Oh, this is a "you're being
an ass" meeting, Michael.

316
00:12:04,811 --> 00:12:07,291
Nothing my wife doesn't
tell me every morning.

317
00:12:07,335 --> 00:12:10,991
Doesn't change things.
Can't work with Allie Briggs.

318
00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:13,645
Well, this isn't about you.
It's about the future.

319
00:12:13,689 --> 00:12:15,386
And it's a bleak one
for these kids

320
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:16,779
who are ready
to inherit it.

321
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:18,389
It's time for a change.

322
00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:21,218
There you go,
drinking the Kool-Aid.

323
00:12:21,262 --> 00:12:24,569
Look at everything that we've
experienced this past year.

324
00:12:24,613 --> 00:12:26,484
The protests,
the marches...

325
00:12:26,528 --> 00:12:27,747
Chaos, looting.

326
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,792
Oh, you're smarter than that.

327
00:12:29,836 --> 00:12:32,969
There's always gonna be
opportunists, bad actors.

328
00:12:33,013 --> 00:12:36,233
But the vast majority
of these folks are peaceful.

329
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:39,149
I put my career on the line
helping change the department,

330
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:40,977
and all that girl sees is
what's still wrong.

331
00:12:41,021 --> 00:12:42,936
Because there's a lot
that's still wrong.

332
00:12:42,979 --> 00:12:44,024
You wouldn't be on
this commission

333
00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:45,460
if you didn't see its value.

334
00:12:45,503 --> 00:12:48,202
That girl, Dwayne...She's opinionated.

335
00:12:48,245 --> 00:12:50,857
But only because
she's passionate,

336
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:52,772
and she's young.

337
00:12:54,686 --> 00:12:56,471
Don't you remember
what that felt like?

338
00:12:56,514 --> 00:12:59,082
Vaguely.

339
00:12:59,126 --> 00:13:01,345
[chuckles]

340
00:13:01,389 --> 00:13:04,392
We've had our time.

341
00:13:04,435 --> 00:13:07,047
It's her time now.

342
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:11,138
Let's help her
shepherd this city

343
00:13:11,181 --> 00:13:13,880
that we both love

344
00:13:13,923 --> 00:13:16,143
into a new future.

345
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:18,145
The girl's got no respect.

346
00:13:18,188 --> 00:13:21,322
To get respect,
you've got to give respect.

347
00:13:21,365 --> 00:13:25,848
And that young woman registered
more first-time voters

348
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:28,372
in this city,
in this last election,

349
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:31,549
than in the previous
five combined.

350
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:34,509
Mayor Taylor handpicked Allie
for this commission

351
00:13:34,552 --> 00:13:36,337
because she gets results.

352
00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:41,603
You got to give her a chance.

353
00:13:45,172 --> 00:13:46,869
I just can't thank you enough
for meeting with me

354
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:48,175
so quickly, Ms. Devereaux.

355
00:13:48,218 --> 00:13:49,741
Well, Patton says
you're good people.

356
00:13:49,785 --> 00:13:51,352
I always have time
for good people.

357
00:13:51,395 --> 00:13:52,788
Lay out what happened to Erik.

358
00:13:52,832 --> 00:13:55,617
Well, the first thing
you need to know:

359
00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:59,186
my boy walks the
straight and narrow.

360
00:13:59,229 --> 00:14:02,102
He's got a job,
attends community college,

361
00:14:02,145 --> 00:14:04,017
even sings in the church choir.

362
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:06,193
He's got no reason
to rob anyone.

363
00:14:06,236 --> 00:14:08,238
So Erik was mistaken
for the suspect?

364
00:14:08,282 --> 00:14:09,805
He said the police
rolled up on him

365
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,676
near St. Claude and Louisa.

366
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,809
He'd just got off shift
at the drug store.

367
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:15,071
Well, why him?

368
00:14:15,115 --> 00:14:17,073
PATTON:
His jacket.

369
00:14:17,117 --> 00:14:19,206
The suspect was wearing
a denim jacket; Erik was, too.

370
00:14:19,249 --> 00:14:20,816
Couple who was robbed
was shown his picture.

371
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:23,601
Said he done it.

372
00:14:23,645 --> 00:14:25,690
You know they say all
young Black men look alike.

373
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:28,258
Why was the bail money refused?

374
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:30,870
There was a fight in
the jail last night.

375
00:14:30,913 --> 00:14:33,611
The judge pulled bail
at the arraignment this morning.

376
00:14:33,655 --> 00:14:35,744
So Erik was involved in a fight?No.

377
00:14:35,787 --> 00:14:38,486
He got jumped.
Tried to defend himself.

378
00:14:38,529 --> 00:14:40,967
Guard came in to break it
up and caught an elbow.

379
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:42,882
And no one's backing his story?

380
00:14:42,925 --> 00:14:46,363
In the bullpen, you see nothing
if you want to see the next day.

381
00:14:47,974 --> 00:14:51,716
My boy was charged for
a crime he didn't commit.

382
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,675
The court date isn't for weeks.

383
00:14:53,718 --> 00:14:55,024
He's gonna lose everything

384
00:14:55,068 --> 00:14:56,808
if he has to rot
in jail that long.

385
00:14:56,852 --> 00:14:58,549
Was Erik assigned
a public defender?

386
00:14:58,593 --> 00:15:00,725
Legal aid handled the
arraignment.

387
00:15:00,769 --> 00:15:04,251
But Erik doesn't quality for
a PD because he's got a job.

388
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:07,950
Yeah.Look, we're not indigent,

389
00:15:07,994 --> 00:15:10,822
but we get by paycheck
to paycheck.

390
00:15:10,866 --> 00:15:12,781
A broken system only
hurts the broke.

391
00:15:15,305 --> 00:15:17,655
Let's see if we can
do something about that.

392
00:15:22,704 --> 00:15:24,575
Any luck tracing VonRoenn's
movements

393
00:15:24,619 --> 00:15:26,360
on the days he went to the bank?

394
00:15:26,403 --> 00:15:28,753
Every trip VonRoenn made
to his safety-deposit box

395
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,451
came after a visit to Yachtvana.

396
00:15:30,494 --> 00:15:32,757
CARTER:
A private marina out near
Diamond Head

397
00:15:32,801 --> 00:15:34,411
owned by Jorge Pérez.

398
00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:38,024
HANNAH:
It appears Pérez was the
American dream fulfilled.

399
00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:40,461
His family found refuge here
during the Mariel boatlift.

400
00:15:40,504 --> 00:15:42,593
Turned his passion for water
into multiple businesses--

401
00:15:42,637 --> 00:15:44,987
boat charters, seaplanes.

402
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:46,467
CARTER:
Legit on the surface, sure,

403
00:15:46,510 --> 00:15:48,991
but underneath,
the dude is 50 shades of shady.

404
00:15:49,035 --> 00:15:51,646
He's into import/export.

405
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:53,300
What kind of import/export?

406
00:15:53,343 --> 00:15:57,434
You name it. Fast boats,
exotic cars, exotic animals.

407
00:15:57,478 --> 00:15:59,915
Any contraband?Nothing proven.

408
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,743
But FBI and Customs have been
watching him for years.

409
00:16:01,786 --> 00:16:03,527
Suspect he might be connected
to any number

410
00:16:03,571 --> 00:16:04,615
of criminal syndicates.

411
00:16:04,659 --> 00:16:07,662
So he's a smuggler.

412
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:10,926
Why would he pay VonRoenn
to steal battery tech?

413
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,493
Pérez is a middleman.

414
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:14,103
We figure he's stepping in
for someone else.

415
00:16:14,147 --> 00:16:18,238
Can you connect Pérez toour mysterious bearded man?Not yet.

416
00:16:18,281 --> 00:16:21,545
So either Pérez closed the loop
by killing VonRoenn,

417
00:16:21,589 --> 00:16:24,331
or the someone he's
working with did.

418
00:16:24,374 --> 00:16:26,072
You want to bring him in?

419
00:16:26,115 --> 00:16:27,943
Can't go at him straight.

420
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,684
You got another angle?

421
00:16:29,727 --> 00:16:31,991
CARTER:
Yeah.

422
00:16:33,427 --> 00:16:35,385
We do.

I've got Cristal waiting

Hey, I never thought I'd meet
a woman too powerful for me,

435
00:17:19,951 --> 00:17:21,692

Just like any woman,

you just need to listen to her.Mm.

439
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:29,222
What do you say?

440
00:17:29,265 --> 00:17:30,701
If it was me, I'd say yes.

441
00:17:30,745 --> 00:17:32,399
But the people I represent
are looking for something

442
00:17:32,442 --> 00:17:35,489
more than, uh, good looks, huh?
They got practical needs.

443
00:17:35,532 --> 00:17:38,579
I can tell you're working hardto lose the accent.[chuckles] Yeah.

444

I, uh, assimilate.

raised in Aux Cayes.

Très jolie.

450

Oh, I know.

451
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,379
What are the practical needs?

452
00:17:56,423 --> 00:17:59,600
Enough cargo space for,
say, 100, 200 kilos,

453
00:17:59,643 --> 00:18:01,428
and still remain fast.

454
00:18:03,169 --> 00:18:04,866
How fast?

455
00:18:04,909 --> 00:18:07,086
Fast enough to outrun
Coast Guard cutters.

456
00:18:07,129 --> 00:18:08,435
PEREZ:
Okay, that kind of fast.

457
00:18:08,478 --> 00:18:10,001
I think I know what you mean.

458
00:18:10,045 --> 00:18:11,612
And you can provide it?

459
00:18:11,655 --> 00:18:14,745
'Cause my boss is looking
for six of them, maybe more.

460
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:18,575
You know,
the "losing the accent" angle,

461
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:20,316
nice touch.

462
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:21,926
You almost had me there.

463
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,885

I-I told you, man,
I'm from Haiti.Sure, sure.

466

By way of the FBI.

467
00:18:30,457 --> 00:18:33,634
Or Customs, or maybe DEA.

468
00:18:33,677 --> 00:18:35,897
Hey, are you suggesting
I'm a Fed?
No, no.

469
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,812
I'm announcing it.

470
00:18:37,855 --> 00:18:40,119
And to whoever else
is listening,

471
00:18:40,162 --> 00:18:42,208
I'm not in the market
to play games.

472
00:18:42,251 --> 00:18:46,037
Now, if you're still
interested in my boat,

473
00:18:46,081 --> 00:18:48,779
maybe you and your partners
can pool your resources.

474
00:18:48,823 --> 00:18:51,608
Otherwise...[laughs]:
Well...

475
00:18:51,652 --> 00:18:54,350
I mean, you can't blame us
for trying, right?
I can.

476
00:18:54,394 --> 00:18:55,612
But no one would care.

477
00:18:59,225 --> 00:19:01,052
Catch you next time, huh?

478
00:19:01,096 --> 00:19:05,100
All evidence to the contrary.
But, hey, "A" for effort.

479
00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:15,719
Pérez see you make your way
over here?
No.

480
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:17,156
Khoury, I know how
to double back.

481
00:19:17,199 --> 00:19:19,245
Okay?

482
00:19:19,288 --> 00:19:21,943
Go ahead, let it out.

483
00:19:21,986 --> 00:19:23,292
That was a master class
in undercover work.

484
00:19:23,336 --> 00:19:25,164
You should be teaching
at Quantico.

485
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:26,730
I almost had him.

486
00:19:26,774 --> 00:19:28,254
Oh, sure, slugger.

487
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:30,647
Accomplished one thing,though.
Hmm?

488
00:19:30,691 --> 00:19:32,432
The tracker I slipped
in his jacket

489
00:19:32,475 --> 00:19:34,129
is giving off a strong signal.

490
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,478
He's on the move.

491
00:19:35,522 --> 00:19:37,263
He may not tell us
who he's working with,

492
00:19:37,306 --> 00:19:39,308
but he'll show us.

493
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:54,845
Okay. Jorge Pérez just
left the marina.

494
00:19:54,889 --> 00:19:57,457
Carter and Hannah aretailing him.All right.

495
00:19:57,500 --> 00:20:00,024
Hope he leads us to whoever else
is behind our janitor's murder

496
00:20:00,068 --> 00:20:01,548
and the stolen battery tech.

497
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,550
You really think a guy
who's selling fast boats

498
00:20:03,593 --> 00:20:06,248
and exotic cars would be
involved in espionage?

499
00:20:06,292 --> 00:20:08,207
If there's money
to be made in it.

500
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:10,861
What if he's not selling
the battery tech?

501
00:20:10,905 --> 00:20:13,864
I dug deeper into
Pérez's financials.

502
00:20:13,908 --> 00:20:16,606
This is a guy that primarily
deals in bro toys, right?

503
00:20:16,650 --> 00:20:18,695
So why is he
suddenly importing

504
00:20:18,739 --> 00:20:22,395
high-strength alloyed steel,
silicon semiconductors,

505
00:20:22,438 --> 00:20:23,831
miles of copper wiring?

506
00:20:23,874 --> 00:20:26,094
Let's assume he's not
renovating his boathouse.

507
00:20:26,137 --> 00:20:28,314
All these purchases
are legit.

508
00:20:28,357 --> 00:20:30,272
But he set up a shell company
to make them.

509
00:20:30,316 --> 00:20:32,100
SEBASTIAN:
Yeah, he's building something.

510
00:20:32,143 --> 00:20:34,885
And maybe the batteries are
gonna power whatever it is.

511
00:20:34,929 --> 00:20:38,280
Whoever Pérez makes contact with
could be a buyer, a partner.

512
00:20:38,324 --> 00:20:39,412
It could be our bearded suspect,

513
00:20:39,455 --> 00:20:41,022
which would be great,
because the BOLO

514
00:20:41,065 --> 00:20:42,589
we put out hascome back with nothing.PRIDE: So right now,

515
00:20:42,632 --> 00:20:44,330
our best lead is Pérez.

516
00:20:44,373 --> 00:20:46,114
We follow him
long enough,

517
00:20:46,157 --> 00:20:47,898
we'll start getting answers.

518
00:20:49,248 --> 00:20:50,684
CARTER:
This is the most

519
00:20:50,727 --> 00:20:52,468
tedious stakeout I
have ever been on.

520
00:20:52,512 --> 00:20:53,774
HANNAH:
Oh, yeah?

521
00:20:53,817 --> 00:20:55,384
Is our suspect boring you?

522
00:20:55,428 --> 00:20:57,038
CARTER:
Costco, Target.

523
00:20:57,081 --> 00:20:58,605
Ricky's Discount Liquor?

524
00:20:58,648 --> 00:21:00,346
I mean, he's more
suburban dad than smuggler.

525
00:21:00,389 --> 00:21:02,217
Ugh, this is nothing.

526
00:21:02,261 --> 00:21:06,221
I once sat 72 hours on
a blackmail suspect

527
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:10,486
who hit every HomeGoods in
the D.C. area for throw pillows.

528
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:12,706
[laughs softly]

529
00:21:12,749 --> 00:21:15,099
[sighs]
I'm starving.

530
00:21:15,143 --> 00:21:18,494
Well, if you'd have gotten
Pérez to incriminate himself,

531
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:20,540
we could be at
Pêche right now

532
00:21:20,583 --> 00:21:22,846
eating spicy ground
shrimp noodles.

533
00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:25,240
And oysters.Oh, no, no, no.

534
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:26,807
Now you're just being cruel.

535
00:21:26,850 --> 00:21:29,897
I think I have some
of these granola bars

536
00:21:29,940 --> 00:21:32,334
from, uh, Naomi's soccer snack.
You want one?

537
00:21:32,378 --> 00:21:34,162
When was the last time
she played soccer?

538
00:21:34,205 --> 00:21:35,468
Eight months ago.

539
00:21:36,773 --> 00:21:38,079
I'm good.

540
00:21:39,994 --> 00:21:41,952
Suit yourself.

541
00:21:41,996 --> 00:21:44,520
I imagine there's no
immediate plans

542
00:21:44,564 --> 00:21:47,044
to play soccer
in the near future.

543
00:21:47,088 --> 00:21:49,220
How's Naomi handling it all?

544
00:21:51,397 --> 00:21:53,964
Oh, is Mr. Don't Ask Me
Any Personal Questions

545
00:21:54,008 --> 00:21:55,923
asking me a personal question?

546
00:21:55,966 --> 00:21:59,361
I asked about your daughter.
That is personal-adjacent.

547
00:21:59,405 --> 00:22:00,754
And now I regret it.

548
00:22:02,233 --> 00:22:04,192
Naomi's doing okay.

549
00:22:04,235 --> 00:22:06,412
Making due. Just
like the rest of us.

550
00:22:06,455 --> 00:22:08,762
You know, it's not easy
being a tween through all this.

551
00:22:08,805 --> 00:22:11,373
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Her friends are her lifeline.

552
00:22:11,417 --> 00:22:16,073
Yeah. "Socially-distanced"
is a dirty word in our family.

553
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:18,467
But she knows
it'll end someday, right?

554
00:22:18,511 --> 00:22:19,729
I mean, she knows what
we tell her, but...

555
00:22:19,773 --> 00:22:21,470
[chuckles]: here it is,
not really ending.

556
00:22:21,514 --> 00:22:22,732
Yeah, I know,
all these months in,

557
00:22:22,776 --> 00:22:24,430
I-I don't know
what to do or not to do.

558
00:22:24,473 --> 00:22:26,388
Wipe down the groceries or not?

559
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:29,086
Mask off outside, okay,
but mask off inside?

560
00:22:29,130 --> 00:22:30,305
How many feet
apart's safe?

561
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,698
And for how long?

562
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:36,703
It's confusing.

563
00:22:36,746 --> 00:22:38,357
And even if you do
everything right...

564
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,098
There's no guarantee
that it won't come around.

565
00:22:41,142 --> 00:22:42,665
I mean, it's got be
even scarier for a kid.

566
00:22:42,709 --> 00:22:44,450
Well, I mean, it's
scary for all of us.

567
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:48,062
Yeah, but Naomi's losing
a chunk of her childhood.

568
00:22:48,105 --> 00:22:49,368
That's not fair.

569
00:22:51,587 --> 00:22:53,720
I feel bad for her.

570
00:22:53,763 --> 00:22:56,723
But selfishly, I am kind of
enjoying all the extra time

571
00:22:56,766 --> 00:22:59,160
with her, you know,
all those extra hugs?Oh, yeah.

572
00:22:59,203 --> 00:23:02,511
Human contact.
Ah, that's something I miss.

573
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,343
You know, be selfish
all you want.

574
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:09,692
[door bells jingle]

575
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:12,652
What?

576
00:23:16,264 --> 00:23:18,484
HANNAH:
"Moskovskaya Udacha."

577
00:23:18,527 --> 00:23:20,094
Is that some sort
of pricey vodka?

578
00:23:20,137 --> 00:23:21,791
HANNAH:
Mm-mm, not pricey.

579
00:23:21,835 --> 00:23:24,141
Authentic.

580
00:23:24,185 --> 00:23:26,143
It's what the natives drink.

581
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:29,016
CARTER:
Okay, so why does Pérez
need three cases of it?

582
00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:30,887
Hopefully he's not
drinking alone.

583
00:23:30,931 --> 00:23:32,280
Let's go.

584
00:23:38,242 --> 00:23:40,462
[soft music playing]

585
00:23:40,506 --> 00:23:43,247
Those salad plates
do something to offend you?

586
00:23:43,291 --> 00:23:44,814
It's not right, Dwayne.

587
00:23:44,858 --> 00:23:46,425
A lot of things
aren't these days.

588
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:49,471
The file on Erik's arraignment
hearing was threadbare.

589
00:23:49,515 --> 00:23:51,865
Rubber-stamped just to
push him through the system.

590
00:23:51,908 --> 00:23:55,085
The good news is he's got
the best lawyer in town.

591
00:23:55,129 --> 00:23:57,436
Well, at least he didn't cave
to taking a plea deal,

592
00:23:57,479 --> 00:24:00,177
but the denial of bail could
ruin his life if he has to sit

593
00:24:00,221 --> 00:24:01,875
in holding
much longer.

594
00:24:01,918 --> 00:24:03,703
You talk to the judge?Yeah.

595
00:24:03,746 --> 00:24:07,446
She's taking the guard's word
about the fight.

596
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:09,796
Ugh.
Deemed Erik
a high-risk offender.

597
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:13,060
Cash bail system's
nothing but a scam.

598
00:24:13,103 --> 00:24:16,455
City's been debating it
for the last few years.

599
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:18,587
But yeah, it's problematic.

600
00:24:18,631 --> 00:24:20,850
'Cause it's a poverty tax.

601
00:24:20,894 --> 00:24:23,157
I mean, cash bail's
been perverted

602
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,725
into a revenue-raising scheme.

603
00:24:25,768 --> 00:24:26,900
Cities earn money

604
00:24:26,943 --> 00:24:29,250
by keeping penniless
folks behind bars

605
00:24:29,293 --> 00:24:31,774
when they can't afford the
bondsman's nonrefundable fee.

606
00:24:31,818 --> 00:24:34,734
Yeah, and if they plead
not guilty,

607
00:24:34,777 --> 00:24:37,127
they can wait months,
sometimes years

608
00:24:37,171 --> 00:24:40,043
before their case
moves through the system.

609
00:24:40,087 --> 00:24:44,352
While their lives fall apart on
the outside, just like Erik's.

610
00:24:45,614 --> 00:24:47,181
Well, the Rita I know

611
00:24:47,224 --> 00:24:51,446
has never been one
to back down from a fight.

612
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,275
And neither will
Counselor Devereaux.

613
00:24:55,711 --> 00:24:57,539
If Erik is innocent,

614
00:24:57,583 --> 00:24:59,976
there's got to be proof.

615
00:25:00,020 --> 00:25:02,805
The D.A. and the judge expect
us to prove Erik innocent,

616
00:25:02,849 --> 00:25:04,894
but that's not how the system's
supposed to work.

617
00:25:04,938 --> 00:25:07,593
Y-You got to find a way
to get those charges dropped.

618
00:25:07,636 --> 00:25:09,333
Oh, yeah. I'm gonna
pull their case apart

619
00:25:09,377 --> 00:25:11,510
piece by piece until it's dust.

620
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:14,251
[chuckles]
Okay, then. I'll tell ya,

621
00:25:14,295 --> 00:25:16,863
I'd hate to be the prosecutor
assigned to this case.

622
00:25:16,906 --> 00:25:18,691
[laughs softly]
I'm gonna fix this for Erik.

623
00:25:18,734 --> 00:25:20,649
Make sure he gets his life back.

624
00:25:26,568 --> 00:25:28,875
Good morning, everyone.

625
00:25:28,918 --> 00:25:33,575
Our last meeting
didn't go quite as I was hoping.

626
00:25:33,619 --> 00:25:37,797
Maybe because there's a certain
lack of respect in this room.

627
00:25:40,974 --> 00:25:42,758
I'm talking about myself.

628
00:25:44,151 --> 00:25:46,109
This group
was created

629
00:25:46,153 --> 00:25:50,113
to reflect the diversity
of voices in our great city.

630
00:25:50,157 --> 00:25:53,726
And even if we disagree, we--

631
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:57,686
or should I say I--
got to learn to listen.

632
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:03,649
Thank you, Michael.

633
00:26:03,692 --> 00:26:06,739
And in the spirit
of respect

634
00:26:06,782 --> 00:26:08,567
for our citizens of New Orleans,

635
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:12,048
I'd like to propose
an initial idea

636
00:26:12,092 --> 00:26:17,053
for this commission to tackle:
the cash bail system.

637
00:26:17,097 --> 00:26:21,536
Uh, Ms. Briggs? I'm sure that
you have a few thoughts on this.

638
00:26:25,235 --> 00:26:26,715
Remedial steps have been taken,

639
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:28,630
but that's not enough.

640
00:26:28,674 --> 00:26:30,066
Too many people still suffer.

641
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:32,286
Cash bail's
a complicated system, sure,

642
00:26:32,329 --> 00:26:33,592
but it still
serves a purpose.

643
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:35,289
PRIDE:I'm not looking
to tear it down.

644
00:26:35,332 --> 00:26:38,292
But there's got to be a middle
ground to protect those at risk.

645
00:26:38,335 --> 00:26:40,033
Is this something you think
the mayor would get behind?

646
00:26:40,076 --> 00:26:41,643
If we do the work

647
00:26:41,687 --> 00:26:44,603
and present a reasonable plan,
then yes.

648
00:26:44,646 --> 00:26:45,778
I'll make sure she does.

649
00:26:50,957 --> 00:26:52,088
Allie?

650
00:26:53,437 --> 00:26:54,961
I'm sorry, Pride,
I can't do this.

651
00:26:56,832 --> 00:26:58,051
I quit.

652
00:27:11,586 --> 00:27:12,413
PRIDE:
Great.

653
00:27:12,456 --> 00:27:13,806
I practically
chased Allie

654
00:27:13,849 --> 00:27:15,459
out the building.

655
00:27:15,503 --> 00:27:16,939
She didn't give any reason
for storming out?

656
00:27:16,983 --> 00:27:20,856
None. Doesn't make sense.

657
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:22,945
You got Holland to back down,
you brought up

658
00:27:22,989 --> 00:27:25,513
one of her passion projects--
cash bail--

659
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:27,080
you'd think she'd want
a part of that.

660
00:27:27,123 --> 00:27:28,255
And yet...

661
00:27:29,735 --> 00:27:31,432
I don't have to tell you
that having Allie Briggs

662
00:27:31,475 --> 00:27:33,042
quit the commission on day two

663
00:27:33,086 --> 00:27:35,958
is a bad look.And yet you are.

664
00:27:36,002 --> 00:27:37,873
40% of New Orleans
is under the age of 30.

665
00:27:37,917 --> 00:27:40,833
Allie represents that 40%.
They love her.

666
00:27:40,876 --> 00:27:42,356
They listen to her.

667
00:27:42,399 --> 00:27:44,532
We need her to buy in on this.

668
00:27:44,575 --> 00:27:46,839
It's a lot of pressure
to put on a young person.

669
00:27:46,882 --> 00:27:48,362
She signed up for it.

670
00:27:48,405 --> 00:27:49,711
Well, then,
why would she step away

671
00:27:49,755 --> 00:27:51,931
just when she was handed
the microphone?

672
00:27:51,974 --> 00:27:53,976
Find out, Dwayne.

673
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:56,500
Fix it.

674
00:28:01,941 --> 00:28:03,682
You think we should tag out
with Hannah and Carter?

675
00:28:03,725 --> 00:28:05,553
They've been watching
Pérez all night.

676
00:28:05,596 --> 00:28:07,337
Or you know what?
We could Postmates them

677
00:28:07,381 --> 00:28:09,078
some coffee and doughnuts.
I think that'd be sweet.

678
00:28:09,122 --> 00:28:11,472
You know? Maybe some scones?

679
00:28:12,821 --> 00:28:14,649
No?

680
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:16,607
You think that's a bad idea?
The scones thing?

681
00:28:16,651 --> 00:28:18,522
I just feel like Carter's
a scones guy.

682
00:28:18,566 --> 00:28:20,350
You can't really
deny that, you know?

683
00:28:20,394 --> 00:28:22,135
Hello?

684
00:28:22,178 --> 00:28:23,614
Yoo-hoo.

685
00:28:23,658 --> 00:28:26,400
Are you ignoring me?[shouts]

686
00:28:26,443 --> 00:28:27,836
Geez, what's wrong with you?What?

687
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,057
Earbuds. Okay.

688
00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:33,059
Your hair is voluminous.
I didn't know.Okay, well, the next time

689
00:28:33,102 --> 00:28:34,582
I want to get your attention,
I'm gonna put my foot

690
00:28:34,625 --> 00:28:36,453
in your bony ass.Please don't.

691
00:28:36,497 --> 00:28:37,585
I'm sorry, okay?
What are you listening to?

692
00:28:37,628 --> 00:28:39,108
Let's talk about something else.

693
00:28:39,152 --> 00:28:40,762
Phone call Pérez took
this morning.

694
00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:42,329
Hannah and Carter
caught his side.

695
00:28:42,372 --> 00:28:44,592
PEREZ [over recording]:
Hola,Nico.

696
00:28:44,635 --> 00:28:45,985
Sí, sí.

697

She's ready to go.

698
00:28:47,508 --> 00:28:49,510
You gonna join us
for the gran celebración?

699
00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:52,034
[laughs] First of many.

700
00:28:52,078 --> 00:28:54,820
Adiós, amigo.

701
00:28:54,863 --> 00:28:56,996
Who's Nico?No idea.

702
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:58,693
Patton tried to trace
the signal,

703
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,390
but Pérez's sat phone
routed the call

704
00:29:00,434 --> 00:29:02,566
through a dozen systems
across the globe.

705
00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:04,655
Hung up before Patton
could get a lock.

706
00:29:04,699 --> 00:29:06,527
Well, it definitely sounds

707
00:29:06,570 --> 00:29:08,094
like he's getting ready
to party down.

708
00:29:08,137 --> 00:29:12,098
I mean, maybe toasting the
completion of whatever "she" is.

709
00:29:12,141 --> 00:29:15,101
So you think "she" is powered
by these fancy batteries?

710
00:29:15,144 --> 00:29:17,364
When you say it like that,
I picture, like,

711
00:29:17,407 --> 00:29:21,368
this time-traveling Terminatrix,
you know, who's in, like,

712
00:29:21,411 --> 00:29:23,936
an all red...Can you just dial
the nerd down by ten?

713
00:29:23,979 --> 00:29:25,894
It's a boat, okay?

714
00:29:25,938 --> 00:29:27,374
Boats are referred to
in the feminine.

715
00:29:27,417 --> 00:29:29,028
Yeah, so are cars
and water spouts.

716
00:29:29,071 --> 00:29:32,379
Yeah, but what car requires
metric tons of steel alloy?

717
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:35,948
Fair enough.
So he's building a boat.

718
00:29:35,991 --> 00:29:37,819
Built. Past tense.

719
00:29:37,863 --> 00:29:39,821
Sounds like it's already
ready for delivery.Yeah.

720
00:29:39,865 --> 00:29:42,432
Unless we figure out who
Nico is, we're gonna lose her.

721
00:29:45,087 --> 00:29:47,350
[sighs] Rita, I done been
through this footage

722
00:29:47,394 --> 00:29:49,439

723
00:29:49,483 --> 00:29:51,833
I got Erik leaving work,
but there's no camera

724
00:29:51,877 --> 00:29:54,053
in the area where the
couple got robbed.

725
00:29:54,096 --> 00:29:57,752
Uh, maybe because we've been
looking in the wrong place.

726
00:29:57,796 --> 00:29:59,841
The witness statements
are conflicting.

727
00:29:59,885 --> 00:30:02,626
Mugger took the couple's cash
and phones so the husband

728
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:04,846
ran a few blocks
and flagged down a cyclist

729
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:06,805
who called the cops.

730
00:30:06,848 --> 00:30:09,808
NOPD met them at St. Claude
and St. Ferdinand.

731
00:30:09,851 --> 00:30:11,940
Exactly. Which is where
they made the 911 call from,

732
00:30:11,984 --> 00:30:13,942
but not where
the crime happened.

733
00:30:13,986 --> 00:30:17,163
No, the husband said the mugging
happened around the corner,

734
00:30:17,206 --> 00:30:18,555
on Burgundy.

735
00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:21,558
And the suspect ran east.

736
00:30:21,602 --> 00:30:23,778
Except a detective
followed up later

737
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,911
with the couple at their hotel.

738
00:30:25,954 --> 00:30:27,782
And in her report,

739
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,872
the wife said it was
St. Roch and Burgundy.

740
00:30:30,916 --> 00:30:33,657
That's three blocks
in the opposite direction.

741
00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:37,270
Okay, so which street corner
did the crime occur?

742
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:40,403
The victims
were out-of-towners.

743
00:30:40,447 --> 00:30:42,797
And every other street in this
city is named after some saint.

744
00:30:42,841 --> 00:30:44,712
It's an easy mistake.

I'm-a pull up every camera
on the other corner.

746
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,890
We just need the right angle,

747
00:30:48,934 --> 00:30:51,501
and we should be able
to clear Erik.

748
00:30:56,028 --> 00:30:58,291

00:35:56,328 --> 00:35:57,285
identifying Mr. Jackson.

870
00:35:57,329 --> 00:35:59,026
They can share their story, yes,

871
00:35:59,069 --> 00:36:01,420
but I'm confident that a jury
will find plausible doubt.

872
00:36:01,463 --> 00:36:03,770
[scoffs] Take your shot.

873
00:36:03,813 --> 00:36:05,641
See how it plays out
in open court.

874
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:07,426
Really?

875
00:36:07,469 --> 00:36:10,124
That's eight weeks from now.

876
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:13,214
Erik will lose his job,
get kicked out of school

877
00:36:13,258 --> 00:36:14,824
and end up with nothing.

878
00:36:14,868 --> 00:36:16,304
Because of you.

879
00:36:16,348 --> 00:36:18,219
I've got eyeball witnesses

880
00:36:18,263 --> 00:36:20,439
identifying your friend here.

881
00:36:20,482 --> 00:36:23,659
Nice folks from Ohio.
Honest people.

882
00:36:23,703 --> 00:36:25,922
RITA:
Salt of the earth, I'm sure.

883
00:36:25,966 --> 00:36:27,663
But not when I'm done with them.

884
00:36:27,707 --> 00:36:29,448
I'll note how
drunk they were,

885
00:36:29,491 --> 00:36:31,798
how confused they were
in an unfamiliar city.

886
00:36:31,841 --> 00:36:33,713
They got lost, they got scared.

887
00:36:33,756 --> 00:36:35,367
They got robbed by knifepoint.

888
00:36:35,410 --> 00:36:37,847
They both wear glasses;
trouble seeing at night.

889
00:36:37,891 --> 00:36:40,459
And they're not used to being
in such a...

890
00:36:40,502 --> 00:36:42,591
diverse environment.

891
00:36:44,898 --> 00:36:47,030
You're gonna accuse them
of racism?

892
00:36:47,074 --> 00:36:49,076
I'm gonna do whatever I have to.

893
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:51,687
I have everything I
need to shred your case.

894
00:36:51,731 --> 00:36:52,819
And all you have
is a denim jacket.

895
00:36:54,299 --> 00:36:56,866
And a Black man.

896
00:36:56,910 --> 00:37:00,000
You're over your head,
Ms. Devereaux.

897
00:37:00,043 --> 00:37:01,958
[chuckles]
I had your job, Ms. Wong.

898
00:37:02,002 --> 00:37:04,483
Then traded up as a Navy JAG.
After that?

899
00:37:04,526 --> 00:37:07,921
Federal prosecutor, DOJ,
Civil Rights Division.

900
00:37:07,964 --> 00:37:10,663
I've worked and won every
kind of high-profile case

901
00:37:10,706 --> 00:37:12,273
you can think of
and some you can't.

902
00:37:12,317 --> 00:37:14,536
So, to be clear,

903
00:37:14,580 --> 00:37:18,192
I'm gonna wipe the floor up
with you and your entire office.

904
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:20,890
Erik Jackson will be free.

905
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:22,109
Then we'll file
a civil suit

906
00:37:22,152 --> 00:37:23,545
against you,
the police

907
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:24,416
and the city
of New Orleans.

908
00:37:24,459 --> 00:37:25,982
And we'll win that, too.

909
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:29,116
Or...

910
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:30,683
you let him go.

911
00:37:30,726 --> 00:37:32,467
'Cause you got the wrong guy.

912
00:37:32,511 --> 00:37:34,861
Plain and simple.

913
00:37:37,342 --> 00:37:39,605
[opens folder]

914
00:37:42,782 --> 00:37:45,611
Let me talk to my boss.

915
00:37:47,221 --> 00:37:48,657
What just happened?

916
00:37:50,659 --> 00:37:53,009
Did we win?
I think we won.

917
00:37:53,053 --> 00:37:56,143
We won, Patton. My guess is
Erik will be free by morning.

918
00:37:56,186 --> 00:37:59,059
Rita, that was amazing.

919
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:03,803
Yeah. Felt good.
[chuckles]

920
00:38:03,846 --> 00:38:06,327
I'm gonna go call Diana
and give her the good news.

921
00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:07,850
[laughs softly]

922
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,898
Shame though.

923
00:38:11,941 --> 00:38:14,422
Erik was lucky to have you
in his corner.

924
00:38:14,466 --> 00:38:16,772
I just wish every kid did.

925
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:20,559
You're a boss.

926
00:38:20,602 --> 00:38:22,038
[laughs]

927
00:38:36,270 --> 00:38:38,751
[phone dials, line rings]PRIDE: Talk to me.

928
00:38:38,794 --> 00:38:40,883
HANNAH: Suspect's finally
out of his car, Pride.

929
00:38:40,927 --> 00:38:42,668
He's outside some kind
of boathouse.

930
00:38:42,711 --> 00:38:44,452
PRIDE:
I've got your GPS location.

931
00:38:44,496 --> 00:38:46,367
You're right beside
some deep bayou waters.

932
00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:48,369
Yeah, out in the
middle of nowhere.

933
00:38:48,413 --> 00:38:50,589
Good site to hide a submarine
from prying eyes.

934
00:38:50,632 --> 00:38:52,504
Yeah, except this ain't
no Tom Clancy novel.

935
00:38:52,547 --> 00:38:53,853
There is no submarine.

936
00:38:53,896 --> 00:38:55,202
Then what is he doing out there?

937
00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:59,293
He brought
gasoline, Pride.

938
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:00,816
He's gonna torch the place.

939
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:02,818
Can't let him do that.
Get him into custody.

940
00:39:24,449 --> 00:39:26,538
[clang nearby]

941
00:39:26,581 --> 00:39:27,843
NCIS! Show me your hands!

942
00:39:35,764 --> 00:39:36,765
[yells]

943
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:47,907
No pulse.

944
00:39:50,953 --> 00:39:52,912
Well, if he came out here
to burn this down,

945
00:39:52,955 --> 00:39:54,522
there must be
evidence here.

946
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:57,525
Yeah, but for what?

947
00:39:57,569 --> 00:39:58,961
Khoury...
Huh?

948
00:40:02,443 --> 00:40:04,489
No dust.

949
00:40:04,532 --> 00:40:07,753
These were a new addition.
Some kind of storage racks?

950
00:40:07,796 --> 00:40:10,059
I've seen similar ones
touring submarines.

951
00:40:10,103 --> 00:40:12,932
They're for torpedoes.

952
00:40:12,975 --> 00:40:16,152
Three by four, that makes 12.

953
00:40:16,196 --> 00:40:17,371
So, what,
Nico got himself a sub,

954
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:18,720
traveled it to U.S. waters

955
00:40:18,764 --> 00:40:20,983
and retrofitted it
with stolen battery tech,

956
00:40:21,027 --> 00:40:22,898
and then armed it
with a dozen torpedoes?

957
00:40:22,942 --> 00:40:25,161
He's not building
a narco-sub.

958
00:40:27,033 --> 00:40:28,295
He's building a weapon.

959
00:40:35,476 --> 00:40:37,260
