NCIS: Hawai'i (2021) s02e17 Episode Script

1
Going better than we thought.
He's got another nine
coming in next week.
The deal in Boyacá?
Gift that keeps on giving.
Boring.
He wants to make sure you
can handle that much volume.
- All earmarked for the Carin Casino.
- Vince.
You promised no business.
I did say no business.
Then we can dance?
Not quite yet.
Vince!
I mean, what the hell?
Annapolis? Our son?
I mean, I just
I don't-I don't accept it.
Well, accept it or not, the reality is
Alex got into the Naval Academy.
And he told us nothing about it?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, it's a whole process.
It requires
a-a fitness test, an interview
Recommendation letter.
All without us knowing.
Well, I've got a new baby
and sleep deprivation.
What's your excuse?
- Daniel, please, let's not fight.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I mean, maybe he's pissed
that I'm not around?
So he joined the Navy?
It's a workable theory.
It's a self-centered theory.
I thought we weren't fighting.
Look, he's 18.
He may not be aware
of what he's committing to,
so we reason with him.
Show him why this might not be
the best path for him.
Work together, okay?
Okay.
But first, I'm gonna find out
who helped him get in.
- Daniel
- I want to know
who my son feels more
comfortable talking to than me.
Okay.
Good talk.
Special Agent in Charge
Jane Tennant, always at work.
Captain Joe Milius,
- never one to call first.
- Sorry.
Things have been hectic.
Securing democracy
for the world and all.
Is securing democracy why you're here?
Yeah.
Matter of national security.
- Need help.
- Well, then
let me round up the team.
Joe, national security, remember?
I mean, national security
can wait maybe a minute longer.
Right.
It'll take longer without both hands.
It is good to see you.
And we need to catch up.
I know. I've been
deep in it.
And I'm sorry for not sending
my congratulations earlier, but
congratulations.
Congratulations on what?
Alex getting into Annapolis.
That's huge. You must be so proud.
- Or you're having a stroke.
- Mm.
I'm sorry, just catching up.
You wrote Alex his recommendation.
- Alex didn't tell you?
- No.
I actually didn't know he
applied until he got accepted.
This got very awkward very fast.
- Ready, boss.
- Right. I'll be right out.
We will table this.
Okay. We're here.
Where's the other one Laci?
- Lucy.
- Lucy.
Right.
She's at tactical training,
so we're good to go.
Two nights ago, a couple
transnational criminals
were gunned down at a Bangkok club.
Vince Cooper and his associate.
- Who's Vince Cooper?
- Accountant
for Dante Reeves.
- The billionaire?
- There's a rumor that he makes
most of his money
as a global arms dealer.
More than a rumor.
Reeves has sold to every
bad actor on the planet.
A joint FBI-DoD task force
has been after him for years.
Vince Cooper was gonna cooperate.
Reeves took him out before he could.
But Reeves left a loose end.
Another potentially
high-value informant.
- Where's this informant now?
- On island.
Claims there's a flash drive here
with a complete rundown
of all Dante Reeves' illegal activities.
So, you want us to secure the intel.
FBI is taking operational
control of that part,
led by ASAC Curtis.
You need us to help locate Dante Reeves?
DIA has already compiled a dossier
on his movements and current activities.
Okay, what do you want us to do?
Protection for the informant
until the deal is done
and the intel is retrieved.
So, babysit?
A little more involved than that.
We take the
informant to a safe house, feed
and water them, make sure they
show up to their appointments.
- That's babysitting.
- Dangerous babysitting.
Reeves will 100%
try to take the asset out.
And there's no team better to protect
the most substantial informant
that we have had in years.
One of you will be able to
get me a proper coffee, right?
So, Adriana,
we flew you from Bangkok to Hawai'i.
I suppose that was technically a plane.
We're protecting you and putting you up,
and now you're gonna tell us
where this flash drive is.
Not quite yet.
I have a list of requests.
- Requests.
- Demands.
Whatever.
This is ridiculous.
A girl needs what a girl needs.
I mean, if the government
still wants that flash drive.
Adriana Velazco,
this is Special Agent Boone
and Special Agent Holman.
What's up, guys?
Uh, we're taking you to a safe house.
Actually, I think we got
a few errands to run first.
This is a shopping list.
Mani-pedi, too.
Look, just get it done,
and get it done fast.
Anything you say, boss.
I hope the government car is better
than the government plane.
You owe me big for this.
I know. I'm sorry.
I will make it up to you.
- Dinner?
- No, no, no.
Dinner is not gonna cut it.
I actually was gonna ask you
to come to the house tonight.
Don't get excited.
We're sitting down with Alex.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I figured he'd want
to thank you in person.
Plus, I have a lot of questions
for both of you.
- Sounds fun.
- Mm-hmm.
Telling you now,
if she makes us do another lap,
I'm putting in for early retirement.
There can't possibly
be a store she hasn't hit yet.
Take it from a married man:
there is always another store.
Ooh, there it is. Look, guys.
Hey, we need to get back to Pearl.
I thought you guys were tough,
capable special agents.
Uh, we are those-those things.
And you're here to assist me.
We're here to protect you.
You're doing great.
Adriana.
Ugh, it's been years
since I've been to a mall.
I'm usually a "have the stylist bring"
"a curated collection to the
suite" kind of gal, you know?
I really don't.
Hey, Vince set that
kind of thing up for you?
Stylist, a hotel suite?
I don't want to talk about Vince.
The whole reason you're in
Hawai'i is to talk about Vince.
I'm in Hawai'i to talk about
Dante Reeves. After my deal's set.
You know whoever killed Vince
is probably looking for you, too.
Do you remember anything about
the guy who attacked you at the club?
Yeah. Um
Big guy. Big gun.
There it is.
I'm not going in.
You're holding the bags.
Just I don't, I don't know Ugh.
How many dresses does one woman need?
How many aloha shirts does one man need?
- This isn't an aloha shirt.
- These aren't dresses.
They're statements of being.
What do you think?
Great. Let's get it. Let's go.
That attitude explains your whole thing.
- You need to relax.
- Adriana
Stop saying my name like you're my dad.
If the other night taught me anything,
it's that any outfit you
wear could be your last,
which is something you might
consider when you get dressed.
What happened the other night,
yeah, it
must've been scary, almost dying.
This isn't the one.
There's an amazing Barbiecore
strapless one near the front.
Could you grab it?
What's Barbiecore?
You'll know when you see it. I
It's pink.
Why didn't you just say pink?
Hey.
Jesse, she's flown the coop.
- What? How?
- Back door.
Okay, I'll come around. Cut her off.
There's a fire exit that leads
to the parking structure.
I'm not talking about Bangkok.
- You have to.
- ADRIANA I don't have time.
I need you to tell me about
the list. I need to know.
You know how secretive Dalton is.
If I could tell you,
I would tell you, but I can't.
What the hell is going on?
You want to explain yourself?
This is my friend Roxanne.
We just ran into each other.
You were in an empty dressing room.
Yeah, on Insta.
I'm doing a live collab with my stylist.
I don't know
what any of those words mean.
Obviously.
Look, hey,
you can't just run off.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I'm Kai. I'm a
I'm a friend of Adriana's.
Oh, no, I know all her friends.
Hey.
Everything okay?
Adriana, what gives?
They're security.
For the mall?
For me.
That's right.
Right now, we got to go to the car.
You have a limo?
No, it's just a car.
Oh, too bad.
Okay, well, text me later. We'll hang.
Okay, for sure.
Bring the big one.
What just happened?
Adriana's been holding out on us. Phone.
Where did you even get that?
What, you don't have
more than one phone?
All right, we're leaving.
You really are a buzzkill.
We're not here for you
to shop and hang with the girls.
You're a cooperating
witness to help take down
the man who almost killed you.
Not yet I'm not.
And I still need a mani-pedi.
There's a place upstairs.
Let's get going.
We are not going upstairs.
Why not?
'Cause I know a better place.
No. Not yet. I'm working on it.
I haven't even asked anything.
And yet I already know
what you're gonna say.
Okay.
Once we have enough evidence
to bring Reeves in,
FBI and DoD need to locate him, so
So, no, I haven't
been able to locate him.
At least not yet. See?
We could have avoided
the whole last exchange.
Efficient. I like it.
I've been diving into Dante Reeves.
He lives big. Really big.
Mega yachts, mega jets, mega homes
all over the world.
- Any in Hawai'i?
- One,
but he hasn't been here in four years.
Though he has been to eight countries
in the last two months.
Well, according to his social media,
his preferred mode
of transport is private jet,
- so maybe focus on that?
- Okay.
The only problem is he has four jets.
All with different itineraries
at any given time. None on U.S. soil.
We need to figure out which ones
are a decoy and which ones aren't.
How did you
Well, FBI's not the only thing
that's predictable.
This place is magic.
Yeah, I told you.
Yeah. I just didn't buy it.
Because I'm a dude or 'cause I'm a fed?
Because I'm not
usually surprised by people.
You know, people aren't
always what they seem.
For instance, you pretended
to play dress-up at the mall,
but you were really
waiting to see Roxanne.
There's a great little cafe near here.
Amazing mochi pancakes.
Yeah, Mama T's. Local joint.
Hey. Stop avoiding the subject.
Who's Roxanne?
Exactly who she seems.
You were asking about a list
and someone named Dalton.
It's nothing.
There's a party tomorrow night.
Roxanne's friend Dalton is throwing it.
That's all.
You want to go to a party?
Right after your friend Vince
was assassinated in front of you.
Life is for the living.
Isn't this facade tiring?
You haven't mentioned Vince
once, and yet you wince
every time I mention his name.
He was your friend.
I have a lot of friends.
A friend whose death
compelled you to come to us.
I'm scared, okay?
I was in the wrong place
at the wrong time,
and now I'm afraid
Reeves might come after me.
So I'm here with you.
It's self-preservation. Nothing more.
Okay, so no more running.
No more secret cell phones.
We wrap up here and we go back
to Pearl and we sign your deal.
And then you can go to as
many parties as you want.
Promise?
I promise.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I didn't know what was on the menu,
so I brought red and white, and then
- I saw this cake, and I thought
- You'd overcompensate?
I'm pretty sure you're mad at me.
- I'm not mad, Joe.
- Why do I still
- feel so uneasy?
- Look, why don't you
finish chopping the veggies,
I'll get you a glass of wine,
and we'll sort out your unease.
Is this how you break terrorists?
With wine and adobo?
When Alex asked me
for the recommendation,
I just assumed you knew. And I
I thought I was doing a good thing.
Helping my friend's son.
Now I realize I should have
done my due diligence.
Make sure you were on board.
Or that I even knew.
Or that you even knew.
- Joe.
- Mm?
That's small enough.
Clearly, I overstepped,
and I will do whatever
it takes to make it right.
That's how I break terrorists.
Joe?
Alex, man of the hour.
I got something for you,
if it's okay with your mother.
My dad gave this to me
when I was getting
into the Naval Academy.
I want you to have it.
Wow.
This slaps. Thanks.
Slapping is definitely
what I was going for.
Who the hell
is Joe Milius,
and why'd he help our son
get into Annapolis?
That would be me.
Any luck locating Dante Reeves?
Not yet. He's hardly ever
on U.S. soil, and when he is,
we don't even know it until he's gone.
Ernie's still working on it.
ASAC Curtis wanted an update
on Adriana's deal.
She's working on it right now.
Without a lawyer?
Said she didn't want one.
Can't say I've ever
seen anyone redline
their own proffer agreement
with a feather-topped pen.
This is, like, the fourth time
she's had them amend it.
I think she's a lot smarter
than most people assume.
Beauty and brains, huh?
Yeah, you know, it's a burden
some of us must carry.
Well, hope you're right.
Elle Woods there is our best shot
at taking down a global arms dealer.
Okay, let me know when she's signed.
- Curtis is itching to move forward.
- Okay.
We'll keep you updated.
It's a burden, huh?
So, uh
you and Jane are
- They hang out.
- Right.
And by "hang out," we mean
Look, we're just friends, Daniel.
Okay, can we focus on Alex?
Oh, I am focused on Alex
and how your friend secretly
got him into the Naval Academy.
I wouldn't classify it as a secret.
I didn't know about it.
Jane didn't know about it.
How else should we classify it then?
Fair enough, and I apologize,
again, for mishandling
the situation.
- Probably best if I go right now.
- No.
I want you to stay.
Doesn't feel like a conversation
I should be involved in.
Little late for that, Joe.
Look, this isn't about Joe.
Okay? It's about Alex. Really?
That's the first I'm hearing of it.
You want me to be sorry
for not telling you I applied.
But I'm not.
I knew you'd try to stop me
and I wanted to see if I could do it,
and I could.
You should be proud.
We are proud.
Of course, but do you even
know what you're committing to?
It's not just four years of college.
You're giving away another
five years of your life.
It's not a prison sentence.
That's not what I'm saying.
It could be a pretty fulfilling life.
Joe.
I mean, I went to the Academy
and things turned out pretty well.
- See?
- What are you doing?
- I don't know.
- You know, maybe
the question isn't why I want to do this
but why you two don't want me to.
She said the flash drive with the intel
is here at Vince Cooper's house.
Adriana called it a crash pad.
Maybe we are in the wrong business.
- Does that look like a
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it does.
- All the money in the world
doesn't buy good taste, huh?
All right. Let's get
the show on the road.
- Is-is that a
- Oh. Yeah.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
Where's the main attraction?
Guys, please be careful.
This is a shoes-off house.
- Seriously?
- Mm-hmm.
Where's the flash drive?
You know the code?
Wouldn't be much good if I didn't.
No. You wouldn't be much good.
Um
It's okay, Adriana.
Relax. Take your time.
It's 1980. Vince was obsessed
with Miracle on Ice.
Great film.
- What is this?
- Not the intel we wanted.
Um where's Adriana?
- She played us.
- We don't know that for sure.
Feels pretty sure, Tennant.
She used government resources
to get herself out of
Thailand then lured us here
- so she could give us the slip.
- Could be a mole.
Reeves planted her to see what
kind of intel we have on him.
No, that would be sloppy of Reeves.
Plus, it doesn't explain
the cat meme on the flash drive
where the intel was supposed to be.
Searched the property. Nothing.
There's an access road to the beach.
She slipped right by the agents.
She's in four-inch heels,
couldn't have gotten too far.
Put a BOLO out. I want teams
searching every sushi joint
and nightclub on the island.
Airports and marinas, too.
What is it?
She's not playing us.
At least not in the way they think.
Okay, what does that mean?
I don't know. It's a gut feeling.
Does that gut give you an idea
of where she went?
There's a lot of people looking for you.
But you found me.
Mama T's. Amazing mochi pancakes.
Oh, you were listening.
Can I finish my pancakes
before you arrest me?
You're not under arrest.
Not yet, at least.
'Cause you like me?
Because I think you were
as surprised as the rest of us
that the drive was empty.
But you have been lying.
You and Vince were close.
I told you, he was a friend.
According to Tennant, you walked around
like you owned that house.
You knew where everything went.
You knew the code to the safe.
A lot of good it did me.
You know, Vince always
talked about leverage.
Need to have it, need to protect it,
'cause someday you might need to use it.
Is that why you ran?
No intel. No leverage.
No one looking out for me.
I'm looking out for you.
That's sweet.
But let's be honest,
the moment I met with you guys,
I gave up any hope on my old life.
The way I grew up,
Roxanne's world might as well
have been a fairy tale.
And the fact that I got in
and got to stay?
That was freedom.
That was away out.
Hey, Roxanne wh
why were you so desperate
to make contact with her?
There's a big party tonight.
Dalton Ball.
Happens every four years.
Ernie said the last time that Reeves
was in Hawai'i was four years ago.
I wanted to see how close I might be
to the man who almost killed me.
You may just have some
leverage to utilize yet.
As long as you're still
willing to do this.
Hey.
Kai found Adriana. Bringing her in now.
We're still in the game.
That is good news.
So, last night was
Yeah. Sorry.
Sure it felt like an ambush.
You know where I learned
to handle ambushes?
Naval Academy.
Well, they taught you well.
Learned a lot of other stuff there, too.
So would Alex.
I have nothing against
going to Annapolis, okay?
Just not for your son.
It's not the school.
It's the life.
This isn't a job for us, Joe.
It's a calling. It's part of who we are.
And Alex, in the last year,
has gone from baseball to a gap year
to this.
It's like he's searching for something.
And his reason for going
needs to be more
than just to see if he could get in.
I think it might be.
At least based on his application essay.
You should read it.
We located Reeves.
- How?
- Adriana was right.
Uh, Reeves was in Hawai'i
four years ago,
same time as the Dalton Ball,
but now he's back.
Landed yesterday morning.
All right, well,
you were tracking all his jets.
None of them were near the U.S.
Because he didn't use one of his jets.
He bummed a ride on someone else's.
Where is he exactly?
Now? Mm, no idea. But tonight
- Looks like we're going to a party.
- Okay.
Lay it out like I don't understand
what the hell is going on.
Dante Reeves snuck onto
the island for the Dalton Ball.
Only happens every four years,
like the World Cup
or leap year. The theme
is Pele and Poli'ahu.
Pele is the goddess of new earth, lava,
and flame. Poli'ahu
is a goddess residing on Mauna Kea,
her domains include snow and mist.
Dalton reduced it to "Fire and Ice."
I wish I was surprised by that.
I-It is an insanely
exclusive party, though.
But thanks to Adriana, we have a way in.
We already have a way in.
If Reeves is there,
we send SWAT to go get him.
No, we don't have enough
evidence to pin anything on him.
Not true. There's an open warrant
for tax evasion from 2017.
His lawyers will have him out of custody
before you can blink.
But if we get
Reeves on tape implicating himself
by agreeing to buy a flash drive,
then we got him on all of
his illegal weapons deals.
You want to hang all this
on some party girl
that already played us?
If it wasn't for Adriana, we
wouldn't even know Reeves was here.
This is our best chance to take
Reeves off the board for good.
I'm gonna personally
oversee the entire op.
All right, let's do it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Was the van always this small?
- Huh?
When was the last time
you were in ol' Rusty?
Like, three years ago.
That counterfeiting op.
Oh, yeah. The Singapore Sting.
Action Jane at her best.
Action what now?
What we used to call you when
you were in the field full-time.
Always jumping off things
and tackling guys.
Got room for me?
Barely.
Curtis send you to babysit us?
Oh, I consider myself more of a buffer.
Ready to call in the cavalry. Mm.
Translation, Curtis is itching to roll.
Yeah, he's a tad nervous.
Button cam's up.
Cam's up, Kai.
You set?
Yeah, boss. We're about to go in.
You ready?
Hey, uh, we're at a party.
You need to act like
you've been to one before.
I've been to parties.
Okay, prove it.
I don't think
I've ever seen Kai look so nervous.
You know I can hear you, right?
All right, well, just remember the plan.
Find Reeves, make contact and
get him to make a deal for the drive.
Yeah. If anything goes
wrong, code word is "avocado."
- Any sign of Reeves?
- No, no hits yet.
Though I have identified
at least three guests
wanted for tax evasion.
- Okay, keep your eye on the prize.
- Hey, boss,
I got something
Yeah, two hard dudes,
crew cut, ponytail.
Clearly packing.
And I recognize one of 'em
from Reeves' surveillance photos.
Can you get a little closer?
- See if Reeves is with them.
- Hello?
Thirsty girl here.
Uh
yeah, what can I get you?
Dirty Shirley, extra dirt.
Okay, coming right up.
Wait, I know you.
No, I don't think so.
I do.
Yacht party. Lake Como, right?
Guilty.
I never forget a handsome face.
There you go.
Got eyes on the hard dudes.
Any sign of Reeves?
He's with someone. I can't see who.
Best way around is through.
Come on.
Got nothing.
Will you stop being a cop
and dance with me?
Okay.
Reeves is here.
Come on, man.
Got visual on Reeves.
He's heading to a door on the east side.
Dante?
Dante. It's me. It's Adriana.
Just want to say hi to my friend.
I have a message for you
from Vince Cooper
about Boyacá.
Can't believe it.
Reeves didn't bite.
You think he's onto us?
If he was, he would be
halfway to his plane.
That's what ASAC Curtis is
worried about. He wants to go in now.
If we go in now, we give up the game.
There's not much game left.
Kai, pull Adriana out of there.
- FBI's moving in.
- Copy, boss.
He wants to see you.
Reeves?
Let's go.
Game is back on, boss.
Okay, great. Listen, get in there quick,
make the deal and get out. No surprises.
There might be one surprise.
Kai?
We should go in.
Hold off. Give him a second.
Adriana, where'd you get the gun?
From Vince's place.
I need to make Reeves pay.
Not for the weapons.
For Vince, 'cause he was
more than a friend.
Right?
He saw me.
And not just as some twit
in a party dress.
He took care of me.
And I couldn't take care of him back.
- So you'll kill Reeves instead?
- That's the plan.
You really think that's
what Vince would have wanted?
'Cause I don't.
- You didn't know him.
- No, I know enough.
I know you reached out
to the government to make a deal
to take Reeves down.
After years of working for him,
and he did that to protect you.
So give me the gun.
Let's do it right.
Kai, answer me or we are coming in.
It's all good, boss.
It's all good. We're back on track.
Adriana.
Please come in.
You'll take your jacket off now.
Wait, what happened?
I lost the button cam feed.
My guy's gonna
- take your gun.
- All right, we still go audio,
- but Kai's not giving the signal.
- Maybe he can't.
All right, we're
unarmed. Now can we talk?
Jesse, post up by the elevator.
We need to be ready to go.
Keep monitoring the conversation.
Whistler, with me.
So, Boyacá.
What do you know?
Two warring cartels
and the federal police.
You're arming all of them.
It's a lucrative deal.
Eighty million so far.
You've read a newspaper.
Newspapers don't know about
the casinos you use
to launder your money
or the dollar amounts of the deposits.
And you are?
Guy who's got the flash drive.
And it's yours for ten million.
You look familiar. Couldn't place it.
Just another pretty face, I thought.
But you were Vince's girl.
Yeah, he liked you.
He told you things.
Things like if anything went wrong,
you could protect yourself
with the flash drive.
Hidden in the safe, behind the painting.
Yeah.
We wiped it two days ago.
He wasn't as clever as he thought.
And neither are you.
Avocado!
Out of the way, tough guy.
So you do remember me.
Adriana's hot bodyguard. Duh.
We need to get up to Kai now.
You need a key.
The guy I knocked out has one
in his back pocket.
You're welcome.
What are you doing there, sweetie?
What I came here to do.
Adriana, put it down.
You really gonna kill me?
- Just like you had Vince killed.
- Yeah, he did.
He did, but we got him now.
No. No, I've watched guys like this
get out of trouble time and time again,
and I'm sick of it.
Money always wins.
But not when you're dead.
He's not worth it.
He's not-he's not worth it,
Adriana. Put it down.
You're right.
You two good?
Do you-do you have enough
to put him away?
You actually
have the names of the casinos
and the dollar amounts of the deposits?
Yeah, I-I
I just remember numbers like that.
Wait, what about bank account numbers?
- Aah!
- Yeah.
Does that help?
It does.
Reeves is done.
Then I'm good.
FBI escort's downstairs,
and they'll take you
to D.C. in the morning.
More one-star treatment?
Probably.
Tell 'em everything you know
about Reeves' business,
and he goes away.
You get your life back.
Such as it is.
I'm starting from scratch.
It's not as bad as it sounds.
You look good in that suit, by the way.
- Oh?
- Yeah.
- Very double-O.
- Oh, yeah?
The dried blood really
ties it all together?
For sure.
Hey, you did great.
It was fun.
Almost getting killed? Is that
No, no, the other part.
When we were on the dance floor.
- Oh.
- You got moves.
Oh, yeah.
- You sound surprised.
- I am.
I am, but as you know, I like that.
So
I'll, uh
I'm surprising, too.
Yeah.
Take care of yourself, Kai Holman.
So, are you sticking around town?
I don't fly out till morning.
Want to grab dinner?
It is morning, Joe.
- It's 3:00 a.m.
- Right.
But if you stick around,
I'll buy you breakfast.
Sure.
Two conditions.
- Conditions?
- One:
you have to tell me if Julie asks you
to help her get into a service academy.
Done. Number two?
Give me a heads-up before
you come in town next time.
We can have a proper reunion.
Proper, huh?
What does that look like?
Guess you'll just have to find out.
Morning.
I, uh, brought coffee and breakfast.
Please, I definitely
am not up for round three.
No, no more fighting.
This is a peace offering.
Past few days haven't been my finest.
Mine either. Thank you.
- I'll take a coffee.
- Of course.
I brought one for Captain America, too,
if he's around.
He's at the airport.
But that's very nice of you.
Probably.
He seems like a solid guy.
Maybe I was just a little jealous.
Of Joe?
No, not Joe.
You.
For practically all of Alex's life
he's wanted to play ball,
be in sports, like me.
Then all of a sudden
he wants this whole other thing,
like you.
What's this?
That is Alex's personal statement.
Captain America gave it to me.
- You read it?
- Yeah.
He said that I inspired him
to look to a life of service.
Be a part of something
bigger than himself.
But that he couldn't even
contemplate that
without the principles
of discipline and teamwork
that he learned from his father.
- Alex said all that?
- He did.
There's some other nice things
in there, too.
Hey.
Dad.
Hey.
What's up?
I was thinking we could all talk.
- About Annapolis?
- Yeah.
And what it might look like
if you decide to go.
I'll get some plates.
Okay.
So, you know that they have winter
in Maryland, right?
