The Rookie: Feds (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
This is our target, Tobias Kazan.
He runs the largest fentanyl
syndicate in the Southland.
And tomorrow he's throwing a
birthday party for his daughter, Aliz.
I cut through a mile of red tape
to acquire the Title III warrant
for Kazan's restaurant,
which means what, Simone?
That we break in on the Q. T.
And install surveillance equipment.
But why, oh, why, Brendon,
would a seasoned agent such as myself
waste his precious time listening
in on a kingpin's family shindig?
Well, it looks to me like
Tobias' family tree
and his crime tree share
a lot of same branches.
And what better place
than a family gathering
to run your mouth and talk shop?
And we'll capture every word spoken
thanks to the man
who literally wrote the book
on electronic surveillance,
Agent Bob Telford.
What a humbling day
this must be for you rookies
to stand in the presence
of a genius like myself.
Let's hope you can keep up.
Oh, we will do more than that.
I'm the razzle. B's the dazzle.
If just one mic or camera's detected,
the whole operation is blown.
So, I'd be happy if you just
didn't screw this up.
You, "Vampire Fed,"
what's our first step?
A surreptitious entry.
Next, security.
You'll have 15 seconds
to disarm the alarm,
or this whole operation is blown.
Civilians call these bugs.
We call them mics.
Now, you don't want the mics to
overlap and create interference,
but, at the same time,
you don't want dead zones.
Alright, in order to check off
"participated in a surveillance op"
from your probationary
new-agent handbooks,
you need to complete this on your own.
Start here in the dining room.
Wake me when you're ready
for an inspection.
Then we'll wire up the kitchen.
And remember, everything, even the dust,
must be left exactly as you found it.
You good, B?
Come on.
Alrighty, Bob.
We are ready for your inspection.
Prepare for excellence.
We just rewrote your handbook.
Mm-hmm.
Wake him up.
Hey, Bob?
He's dead.
What the hell happened?
I don't know.
He was fine, and then he wasn't.
We got to call the coroner.
No. The op comes first.
Let's do a final sweep.
We pack up.
I'll pull the van around back.
You guys meet me there.
- But
- I know, I know.
Trust me. Bob would have
wanted it this way.
Simone, don't forget to lock the door.
Watch his head. Watch his head.
Rest in peace, amigo.
Bob was a legend.
His surveillance ops
took down some of the
biggest criminals of
the last two decades.
I once heard a rumor
that he went 32 hours without urinating.
Forty-seven. Man was a machine.
Sounds like he's trying
to murder his kidneys.
Well, I spoke to Bob's wife,
and she told me
he'd been struggling
with high blood pressure
and diabetes for years.
So, most likely he had a stroke.
You okay, boss?
Bob was a good man.
And do you know how we honor him?
By finishing this op.
Tobias' party starts in six hours,
and we need to be ready.
So, I suggest everyone get some rest.
I'm not much of a day sleeper.
Ah, that's a lie, Laura.
You love to sleep.
How about I get us some breakfast?
Sure.
Excuse me, sir.
Sir?
Ma'am? I My bad.
It's cool. It happens.
That was a nice, little song
you were humming there.
Thanks. I wrote it myself.
Alright. Looks and talent.
I see you.
I'm D. J.
I'm smitten.
Uh, I'm Simone. Nice to meet you.
You here to inject some youth
into Cutty's breakfast book club?
Wait. My daddy got a book club?
For senior citizens.
Ah! Okay.
And my mom left her notes back at home,
so I brought them over.
I'm Ruth's daughter.
So, uh, what you about to get into?
You know, there's a jazz fest up
at Expo Park today.
You want to come with?
I would love that.
I got to work, though.
Some other time?
Put your number in.
You don't mess around, do you?
Not when I see something I want.
Critics say that Alice Walker's
too hard on Black men.
I mean, it's nonsense.
She told an honest story
of one family, right?
Cutty, what do you think?
Uh, I think I read the wrong book.
Is "How Stella Got Her Groove
Back" for next month?
I can't believe you.
Well, hello, gorgeous ladies and Daddy.
Look who finally decided to come home
after worrying me to death all night.
Daddy, I'm not a teenager
who broke curfew.
I'm a grown woman who
stayed out fighting crime.
Okay, no matter how old you get,
you're still my daughter,
and I still worry.
I tell my Dina the same thing.
You mind your father, Miss Simone.
I will, Miss Ruth,
and I just met your daughter outside.
She single?
Very.
Good to know.
Oh.
Your daddy did not mention
that you were into the ladies.
Because that's Simone's business.
That I am happy to share.
For me, it's about the vibe,
not the gender.
- Okay?
- Okay!
You ladies, uh, continue talking.
I need to have a word
with my daughter real quick.
You best slow that roll.
Dina's single because
she's got drama for days.
Wha
And from what I've heard, you don't want
no part of that.
No. Mnh-mnh. No. No.
To Bob.
To Bob.
Just another reminder that
we could all go at any time.
Okay, if that's a not-so-subtle nod
to my heart condition, look
Oatmeal, fruit, egg whites.
I'm doing better.
How about you?
How about me what?
The department therapist sent over
your counseling discharge paperwork.
Question is, should I sign it?
Absolutely.
I finished the mandated therapy.
I did everything the Bureau asked of me
to return to full active duty
with no leash.
Matt, I did the work.
Come on, Laura.
Your fiancé cheated on you
with your best friend.
Of course
what Sam and Katie did hurt me.
And, naturally, an emotional betrayal
triggers a a psychological
and a physiological response,
which is what I experienced.
But it was a momentary blip
that I've since moved past.
Yeah, you know, maybe just
another month of therapy.
Surveillance is a game
of patience and preparation.
Got your change of clothes,
your food, your water,
your snacks, something to use
as your restroom.
I'm not tinkling in that thing.
I was just a bit startled
No big deal.
Yeah, well, the new cellphone
you just bought says otherwise.
Katie's phone call clearly upset you.
I haven't spoken to Katie
in six months, okay?
And there she was.
Who are we talking about? Who's Katie?
Nobody. Mind your own business.
You can explain it
and analyze it all you want.
I saw what I saw.
You're ordering food already?
It's a dinner reservation for tonight.
Ooh, somebody's got a hot date.
With my wife. Just needs to be special.
Look at you.
Pretending to be a tough G-man
who does his business in a jar,
when you really are a romantic
and you just want to have
some sexy time with your wifey.
Hey, sweet thing.
You checking to see
if my schedule freed up?
Well, has it?
Afraid not.
Well, at least I got a chance
to see your pretty face again.
Can't wait to see more.
- Ooh!
- Do I need to call HR?
I'mma have to call you back.
Okay. Did she seem like drama to you?
Maybe a little thirsty, but drama?
I don't know. So, my dad was saying
I don't want to hear none of this story.
Thank God.
Alright.
Target has arrived.
Alright, let's see how well
you studied the case file.
Identify the main players.
Okay. Uh, Tobias Kazan.
That's his wife, Cora.
They've been married 21 years,
meaning she doesn't care
where the family bank
is coming from.
That's his daughter, Aliz,
an SCLA student with no real friends.
'Cause if she had some,
they would tell her
she has no rhythm
in those TikTok videos.
They're sweeping for bugs.
We got mics all over this place.
The FBI uses a higher-encrypted
radio frequency
that's only available
to the U. S. government.
Those store-bought detectors
won't find them.
That is, if you
installed them correctly.
My dear friends,
so happy to have you all here today.
Together, we're celebrating
our beautiful Aliz.
As we say back home, chronía pollá!
Chronía pollá!
Uh-oh.
Who the hell are those guys?
The Dead Bastards. They're the most
violent biker gang on the West Coast.
And there's their shot caller,
Rusty Filmore.
Word on the street is he has
a major hate-on for Kazan,
and it looks like he's here
to drop some bodies.
Get ready to move in. This thing
can go sideways at any moment.
Good-looking kid.
Baby-faced to be a gangster.
That's Rusty's son Kellen.
Are you out of your mind?
What, you're having a party,
and you didn't even invite us?
It's my daughter's birthday.
Now, what the hell do you want
that couldn't wait?
I want to talk business
before it's too late to save our deal.
Holy hell.
They're working together.
Kitchen.
Sir, we have a problem.
Simone, we're about
to get proof that these
two criminal organizations
are in bed together.
I don't want to hear about problems.
What's the problem?
Um
we don't have eyes or ears
in the kitchen.
Why the hell not?
Because we were just about
to wire that room,
and then, you know, Bob turned up dead.
If we don't hear what's happening
in there, the whole op is a bust.
Sir, send me in.
Simone, if you get made in there,
you will not make it back out.
No one will think I'm law enforcement.
- That's for sure.
- Be nice.
I can plant the mic. Trust me.
Matt, don't. It's too risky.
Okay, do it.
But, Simone, the first sign of trouble,
I want you out of there.
Get ready to watch your girl
save the day.
Hello, handsome.
We're closed for a private party.
Really?
That's weird because
I talked to Natalia yesterday,
and she said that I should
She's not here. Come back after 5:00.
Oh, but I'm here now.
See, I just want to talk about planning
a little retirement party
I can't help you. I'm sorry.
Unh-unh, don't be.
With them beautiful eyes, baby,
you never have to be sorry.
I will, uh, come back another time.
But is it okay if I use the
bathroom real quick before I go?
Pretty please?
Just make it fast.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
I was gonna reach out after the party.
Hey! It's a whole nother party
going on in here.
Who are you?
I made a left when I should have
made a right.
Look at this cuteness.
Okay, get out.
Okay, right, but before I go, listen.
I want to have a party here.
My daddy can't have dairy,
and the kids don't like meat.
Everybody got something.
Can y'all handle all of that?
No. Now leave.
- Okay, but the only thing
- Get out.
Wait, you ain't got to put
your hands on me.
Wait. Don't touch me.
Ernestine!
Ernestine, what the hell are you
doing in these people's kitchen?
Luther, I was trying to talk to them
about your mama's party.
And the next thing I know,
I'm being manhandled.
Now, you being what, now?
Sir, you and your wife,
you need to leave now.
Oh, we got to go, huh?
Come on, baby.
Let's find a place
that values our business.
Yeah. We don't got to take this.
You promised we'd get
the package two days ago.
Yeah, there's been a little
issue at the border,
but now everything is fixed.
Yeah, well, I got people looking
at me like I can't deliver.
I understand the position
I put you in, okay?
So, there'll be a little extra
in your package tomorrow night,
free of charge.
Boom! Just like that, we got them.
Now, tomorrow night, we bust that drop,
and we put Tobias and the Dead Bastards
out of commission once and for all.
Two birds, one surveillance mic.
I'll get with CIRG,
get them up to speed for tomorrow.
Can we go home and get some sleep now?
No, you and Simone still
have to remove all the wires and
cameras out of that restaurant
after they close,
and you'll need supervision, so
- Right.
- Unh-unh.
Don't even think about it.
Carter has a hot date tonight, so
- It's cool. I can supervise.
- Are you sure?
Yeah, of course. I'm not doing anything.
Laura?
Katie.
Why don't we, uh
Uh, what the hell are you doing here?
I texted you. I left messages.
I didn't answer,
which would clearly indicate
that I don't have anything
to say to you.
Can we do this somewhere
less public, please?
I really hope you didn't come
all this way to apologize.
I came because I wanted you
to hear this from me
before anyone else.
Sam and I are engaged.
Okay.
No, it's not okay.
You and I have been lifelong friends.
I just I-I hope
we can move past this.
I already have.
Great. I was worried
you were gonna be upset.
I'm glad you understand.
I'm sorry. Understand what, exactly?
We did nothing wrong,
'cause you became
so consumed by work that
That you just couldn't hold space
for anything outside of that.
So, Sam and I bonded
over being shut out emotionally by you.
Got it.
Well, um, guess what?
I-I've moved on, and the two of you
both obviously moved on
with my engagement ring.
Sam gave that to me.
But you returned it.
Okay, Katie. Uh, I-I-I really
have to get back to work, but, um,
congratulations.
I hope you're both very happy.
And, uh, be sure to return
your visitor badge
at the front desk.
Uh
Hey, Daddy.
Simone, can't you just call me
old-school like normal people?
Uh, no. And why are you all dressed up?
You know better than to get
into grown folks' business.
I haven't seen you bust out
the cravat since Widow Jenkins.
This must be juicy.
Okay, I'm hanging up now.
Daddy, wait. I called you
because I wanted to tell you
I'm working late and not to wait up.
I won't.
See, now I know you up to something.
So, I looked at the
reviews for this place,
and everyone raves about
the bone-marrow crostino.
My favorite.
What's going on with that promotion
to the New Orleans field office?
I kind of spoke too soon.
It's off the table.
Don't be mad.
I'm not. And that's the problem.
Lately, the only feeling I have
when it comes to you and me is
indifference.
We're not us anymore, are we?
Not for a long time.
So, do we keep the reservation?
I'll drive you home.
This girl is so hot, B.
So, what's wrong?
You got your problem face on.
My daddy thinks she's trouble.
How much trouble could she really be?
If you have to ask,
it's already too much.
Trust me on this.
- What's got you twisted?
- Nothing.
Remember, her BFF was
Okay, gossip girls, no more
talking until you finish the job.
Done. Now can we get back
to talking about you?
Grab the bags. Take cover.
Hi. So, why are we here?
Don't be such a punk. It's my birthday.
I want a drink.
Okay.
I can buy you a drink somewhere else.
- Come on. Let's get out of here.
- No. I want this.
It's tequila from Greece.
You're gonna love it.
Tobias' daughter
and Rusty's son are smashing?
Damn, this just got spicy.
What the hell?!
Oh, no.
This is FBI Special Agent Laura Stensen.
I just witnessed a kidnapping.
Blue panel van,
license plate K-I-9-8-0-9.
LAPD has a BOLO out
on the kidnappers' van,
but we got to assume at this point
that they got away.
So, we're gonna focus
on the bigger picture.
Why the hell were Rusty
and Tobias' kids together?
We're looking at
a Romeo/Juliet situation.
No, these families work together.
They're not at war.
So I'm not sure that metaphor
really tracks.
Okay, but it's more of an
analogy than a metaphor, so I
Alright. Either way, the big problem
is both their fathers
have a lot of enemies.
So, we don't know which kid
the kidnappers were after.
Maybe they were both the target.
I mean, that's a lot of leverage.
Whatever the case, we do have
to notify the families.
Whiplash.
I mean, our our criminal
targets are now our victims.
Are we gonna have to blow up
our surveillance op for this?
No, at least try not to. We'll tell them
an eyewitness saw the abduction,
which technically is not a lie.
We can use it as an opportunity
to gather more intel.
These people may be criminals,
but we still
have to treat them with heart.
I mean, their babies are in danger.
Yes, of course.
But let's not forget, these
are ruthless dope pushers.
Psychologically speaking,
this will trigger extreme duress.
It's a high probability
that they'll make a careless mistake.
Let's bring them in and see what
shakes out. We could get lucky.
Absolutely.
But saving these kids
is our top priority.
Now, I have history with Kazan,
so I'll bring him in myself.
Laura, Brendon, you get Rusty.
Carter, Simone, your covers
were blown at the restaurant,
so you've got to stay out of sight.
But start digging
into these kids' lives.
Go through their phone records,
their receipts,
their social media, everything.
If we can figure out
how the kidnappers tracked them,
we might be able to uncover
who the kidnappers are, okay?
Aliz's entire life is online.
She likes overpriced handbags,
mirror butt selfies, Jell-O shots.
She's pretty basic.
I mean, a spoiled princess
who likes taking
sloppy photos at d-arties.
D-arties?
Gen-Z lingo for day parties.
Yeah, she just finished
her freshman year,
and every other photo since
she pledged her sorority
is her sitting on
some drunk frat boy's lap.
She's a little ratchet.
Okay, well, Kellen only recently
joined the Dead Bastards.
And unlike his father,
he's got no priors, not even juvie.
Well, since he was nonexistent
in her social feeds,
I called his high school
guidance counselor.
Of course you did. Any intel?
Well, she said he was a "C" student,
never been to the principal's office,
a quiet kid, self-taught
Harley mechanic.
So that's methodical.
She's wild. He's mild.
Well, opposites do attract.
Yeah, but how did these two even meet?
I mean, their fathers' businesses
can't be the only thing
they have in common.
Ah, wait a minute.
It doesn't make sense.
How the hell did you find out
about this before we did?
An eyewitness saw it happen
around 3:00 a. m. And called 911.
And they called the feds
before the family?
I don't think so.
If I find out you're lying
and you're using my boy as leverage
That's a little paranoid, isn't it?
I wouldn't put anything past you.
How about we focus
on getting your kid back?
Have there been any threats
against Kellen?
No!
Of course not. Aliz is a good kid.
Were there any threats made
against anyone else in your family?
No, just from the FBI.
Did you approve of Kellen's
relationship with Aliz?
Kazan's daughter?
He's never even met her.
You're lying.
Aliz would never go out
with that gearhead.
They were spotted together right
in front of your restaurant
just before the abduction.
Why would your son meet Aliz there?
She must have lured him there.
He must have stalked her there.
You saying the Dead Bastards
are responsible?
Yeah! His trashed son seduced
my little girl to get an in
into my husband's
Look, do I think Tobias
could be responsible?
No comment.
Now, if we're finished here,
I got work to do.
I got to go find my kid.
Kazan! Where's my son?
Where's my daughter?
Hey, hey! Back off!
Come on! Now!
- This isn't over!
- Not by a long shot.
Get him out of here, now.
I'm sending agents to your house
to put trap-and-trace devices
on all your phones, okay?
So, when the kidnapers call
Forget it. We don't want your help.
Don't do this.
Taking matters into your own hands
is only gonna get your kids killed.
Damn it.
Okay, judge just signed off
on T3 cellular
and landline wiretap warrants
for both Rusty and Tobias.
So, we'll know if either family
gets a ransom demand
from the kidnappers.
Or if they try to conspire
to do anything illegal.
Carter and Simone, you tail Rusty.
Laura, Brendon, you tail Tobias.
Now, remember, these are two
desperate, violent men.
So let's stay close and act
quickly if something goes down.
- Copy that.
- On it.
Come on, Rusty, do something.
At some point, you're going
to need to get used
to the slow pace of surveillance.
What can I say? I'm wired for action.
Tell me you got something.
All the guys are out
searching, but nothing yet.
Did you jack up the West Side crew?
Yeah, pulled some bits off.
They're not involved.
It's getting serious out there.
Oh. How was dinner with the wifey?
You never told me.
Why would I tell you?
Okay. Be like that.
I could always sing to pass the time.
Please don't.
Dinner was great.
Not according to the look on your face.
We didn't
We didn't even make it
into the restaurant.
What happened?
We're getting a divorce.
Carter, I am so sorry.
Can we not talk about it?
I don't care.
Bust some heads, pay some bribes,
whatever you got to do
to find her, do it.
He's cracking.
Tobias never would have said
something like that
on a cellphone before.
You know, this one time,
my best friend, Davey Pepper,
stole all my Pokémon cards.
He sold them to buy a new bike.
I was devastated.
Are you seriously trying
to tell me a story
from your childhood just to get
me to open up about Katie?
Childhood?
It was, like, nine months ago.
Remember what I said
about my personal business?
I-I-I do. But I also saw you earlier,
and it looked like you might
explode out of your own skin,
so
Well, that's because
Katie told me it was
my fault she cheated with my ex.
Now they're engaged.
- What?
- Yeah.
Oh, my You destroyed her, right?
I kind of congratulated her.
You did what?
During my sabbatical, I did a deep dive
into the latest scientific
literature on
On narcissists, toxic personalities,
psychopaths.
Research, Laura,
that's that's, you know,
one way to go about it.
Yeah, it's my way. And it reminded me
that you can't change a toxic person.
You just have to stay positive
and cut them out of your life.
- So, you just
- Yeah.
Wished her well, sent her on her way.
It felt good.
Laura, you got to get out
of your own head.
You know, you got to stop doing
what all the research tells you to do.
And you got to be vulnerable.
You got to You got to feel this.
Oh, incoming from Rusty's phone.
Yeah, who's this?
If you ever want to see your son again,
it'll cost $2 million.
I'll text you an address
to drop the money.
Be there in two hours.
How do I know he's still alive?
Check your e-mail.
You seeing this, B.?
Yeah, it's hardcore.
You got two hours to try
and locate the kidnapers.
Any chance to trace the ransom call?
No. They used a spoof VOIP number.
So Rusty's got a ransom demand,
but not Tobias?
Maybe Kellen was the target
and Aliz was collateral.
Or she might already be dead.
What are you doing?
Little computer trick I learned
on the set of
"My Hard Drive Ate My Homework."
If I isolate the background
in the ransom video,
I can run a web search for the photos
with the exact same background.
So it's like facial recognition,
but with objects and architecture?
Exactly. If the room was posted online,
it could get us a location.
I love it. Keep going.
Simone, Carter, you stay with Rusty.
You follow him to that money drop.
Kidnappers just lit a fuse,
and we've got only two hours
to stop this explosion.
We're at the drop. Eyes on Rusty.
- Now what?
- Now we gear up, get closer,
and see who comes to get the money.
Yes, B.
What?
Brendon found the house
from the ransom video.
FBI!
- Cover right.
- Move, move, move!
Go! Move in!
- Watch your corner.
- Cover left, cover left.
- Check the back.
- Go, go, go!
Sweep the area.
One down.
Don't you move!
- Facedown.
- Clear.
Don't move!
Hey.
You find him?
Help!
In here! In here! Help!
- FBI! We're coming in!
- Hey! In here!
Put your hands up!
Yeah. Yeah.
- Where's Aliz?
- I-I don't know.
Th-They They took her somewhere else.
While we're waiting, shouldn't
we put a tracker in the bag?
Just, you know, in case they get away?
- In theory, it's a good idea.
- In theory?
It would leave us exposed
without proper backup.
Procedure is to identify the kidnappers,
initiate surveillance,
and then follow them back
to their safe house.
Right. But Brendon already
found the safe house,
so we should be
slapping cuffs on guys, right?
Okay. Let's grab them.
- What do we do now?
- Call for backup.
You do that.
Simone, wait.
Shots fired. Shots fired. Send backup.
FBI!
You are surrounded.
Don't even think about
getting away on foot.
I want to see guns on the ground
and hands in the air now!
I did good, right?
Here you go, buddy.
- Is Aliz okay?
- We don't know.
Can you tell us what happened?
We got separated right away.
Okay, they kept me blindfolded.
They wore masks.
Do you think someone found out
about your relationship
and used it as a way
to get a payday from both sides?
No, okay? Nobody knew about me and Aliz.
We kept it secret, okay?
We didn't even go out
in public together since we met.
How did you guys meet?
At Hard Road a few months ago.
Biker bar. Huh.
That's a strange place for her, huh?
Yeah. I mean, she was
She was out of place big time.
But, you know, she was
She was really cute about it.
So I hit on her.
Once I found out who she was,
I-I backed off.
Okay? I knew my dad
would be pissed, but
That girl is She's
She's She's stubborn.
You know, that's That's Aliz for you.
He just lawyered up.
That's four for four. No one's talking.
Definitely not your
run-of-the-mill kidnappers.
This one looks like
he just got his braces off.
I know. It's odd.
None of them have ties or
records to either crime family.
It's like they're just straight
out of suburbia.
More like straight out of
Southern College of Los Angeles.
I found the link between the kidnappers.
Dwayne here is a senior.
The other two just graduated.
Aliz goes to SCLA.
That can't be a coincidence.
Well, maybe they found out
who her father was
and they thought
they could make a quick buck.
And Kellen is just collateral
that ended up being worth something.
Maybe, but my daddy always said,
when something don't seem right,
turn on the light.
I take it you have a theory?
No, more of a question.
How does Aliz, a spoiled princess,
go from d-arties to biker bars?
D-arties That's a day party.
Little Miss Aliz may not be
as innocent as she seems.
The FBI arrested several men,
averting what was
a tense standoff earlier
You said there was no way your
families would involve the cops.
They wouldn't.
The cops got onto this some other way.
Do you think the others will talk?
Eventually, yeah.
But none of them know
I'm in on it, right?
No, they all think it was my idea.
Good.
- Please no.
- I have to.
No.
911. What's your emergency?
Help. Um, this is Aliz Kazan.
I wa I was kidnapped, but I got free.
Uh, he stabbed me.
So I grabbed his g
I grabbed his gun. I, um
I shot him. I shot him.
Please help me. Please.
Hey, hold up.
Can we see the vic?
What is it?
I've seen this guy before.
She knew her kidnapper.
Miss Kazan, we're with the FBI.
I'm so glad you're safe.
It was awful.
I'm sure it was.
We ID'd your kidnapper,
the the man you killed.
He came at me with a knife.
His name is Tony Eakins.
Did you know him?
No. I never met him before in my life.
Any idea why he abducted you
or your boyfriend?
Because our dads are rich.
And you sure you've
never seen him before?
Aliz, honey,
let me give you some advice.
The next time you decide to lie,
scrub your socials first.
I guess it's easier to kill somebody
if you pretend
like you don't remember them.
Same as it is if you say you love them
and don't even ask about how they doing.
'Cause, see, the first thing
that little Kellen boy did
was ask about you.
I'm in shock.
I would be too,
if I killed somebody
to keep from going to jail.
Out of my way. She's my daughter.
- Don't say another word.
- Stand back.
Your daughter is the prime
suspect in her own kidnapping
and the kidnapping of Kellen Filmore.
And for the murder of Tony Eakins.
Wait.
You two were in my restaurant
the other day.
Watching on us this whole time?
Is this what this is about?
You coming after my business?
That is all you care about
Your business!
You're always all,
"I grew up with nothing.
And you should learn
the value of hard work."
You wanted me to earn my own money?
Well, guess what?
I did.
Whoops. That right there
is what we call a confession.
And that means you're under arrest.
You came at me through my kid.
I won't forget that.
Your kid made her own bed.
If I were you, I'd get her
a really good lawyer.
The AD says Bob's plaque's
gonna go right here.
Wish we could have taken down
Tobias in his honor.
Yeah, well, it wasn't all a bust.
Laura was right.
Because of the kidnapping chaos,
Tobias's crew had to reroute
the fentanyl delivery.
Yeah, our wiretaps caught one of his
guys making a call he shouldn't have.
DEA nabbed the shipment
coming over the border.
As far as Rusty and Tobias go,
we'll get them one day.
Listen, even though we didn't
get our intended targets,
this was still one hell
of a successful op today.
Technically, the
The op started yesterday
or the day before.
How many days have we been up?
I don't know. But I'm ready to lay down.
Well, all of you go home. Get some rest.
You okay?
One day, you're an agent in the field.
The next, you are a ghost on a wall.
Mm.
The life we lead.
You're deflecting.
Maybe.
At least I'm not dwelling
on my health issues, right?
Still eating healthy.
I'm managing my stress.
My heart is good.
Speaking of, how's yours?
You know, the whole Katie situation.
What is she, a witch?
Yeah, with a "B."
She's waiting for me.
I asked her to come back.
Hey. Surprised you called.
Yeah, me too.
But I realized you were right.
I am obsessive when it comes to work.
And that doesn't always
leave space for friends
or lovers or anyone, really.
Laura, I am so happy
you're finally starting
to be honest with yourself.
Well, hold up, 'cause that honesty
is about to get directed right at you.
You were a horrible friend.
The absolute worst.
And not just because
you cheated with Sam
behind my back for over a year.
We grew up together.
Each other's ride-or-die.
And if you saw me losing
connection with my relationships,
then why the hell
didn't you ever just tell me?!
Because you wouldn't listen.
Oh, well, we'll never know now, will we?
I do want to thank you
because I will never,
ever let someone like you
into my life ever again.
Oh, and do you know
what came of me being obsessive
when it comes to work?
I became a genius profiler
of human psyche.
So trust me when I say this
Cheaters always cheat.
Good luck with Sam.
Too much?
Awesome.
Did it feel awesome?
Didn't suck.
Thank you.
Hey.
How you holding up?
I'm fine.
Look, you don't want
to talk to me, that's cool,
but you need to talk to somebody.
Even amicable divorces
can be emotional chainsaws.
It's my son I'm worried about.
How do we tell him?
Carter, I worked with kids for 20 years,
and they understand a lot more
than we think they do.
Be honest with the boy.
Tell him the truth.
Love him.
The rest will work itself out.
Oh, you still up, baby girl?
Just trying to unwind
after a long couple days.
Hey, uh
I-I have a confession to make.
I may have told a teeny,
tiny little lie about Dina
when I said she was drama.
Why would you do that?
Ruth and I took to each other.
We started dating.
That's why you were so dolled up
the other night.
And so you thought it would be weird
if I was dating the daughter
while you were dating the mother.
- Right.
- You should have just told me that.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
But I so appreciate you finally
listening to your old man
and not dating Dina.
It means a lot. Thank you.
Daddy. I got you.
I got you.
Mm.
Is everything alright?
Everything is perfect.
