Blindspot (2015) s02e18 Episode Script

1 (cartoon playing on TV) - Shut up! - Amber! - Stay away from me, Eli! - Amber, stop! - Listen to me! - You're one of them! No, I'm not! I'm trying to help you! Hey, stop it! Stop it, both of you! You're upsetting the others.
Amber, go to your room.
Hey, no! You stay away from her, you hear me? Hi, it's me.
It's happening again.
What should I do? No, it's worse this time.
(crashing) (Amber screaming) Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Amber! Eli, what happened?! You ready to go to work? Is that what we're calling it? I don't have a job at the FBI like you do.
I have babysitters.
Would you give us a second? Thank you.
If you want to stay here, you have to come in and see Dr.
Sun every morning.
That's part of the deal.
And then I get to hang out with those guys the rest of the day? Freedom is something you have to earn.
This is just a small step before you get to start your normal life again.
Again? I was trained as a child soldier, raised by a psychopath, and then I had my memory erased.
When did I have a normal life? Fair point.
Look, we gotta go, okay? Today, of all days, I can't be late.
- Sure.
- Right.
We're the only ones trying to stop them.
The DOJ seriously thinks we aided and abetted Sandstorm? Of course not.
They're just using that as a ticket to depose us.
It's a fishing expedition.
They're just looking for a scapegoat for the Sandstorm raid.
If this team gets paraded in front of a Senate subcommittee, win or lose, that's enough to disband this task force and end all of our careers.
- That is not gonna happen.
- How can you be so sure? Sandstorm is connected to me.
It's my family.
That's not gonna look so good to outsiders.
Especially when the outsider running the depositions is Matthew Weitz.
Yeah, he's trying to make a name for himself, trying to further his career.
I didn't get subpoenaed.
Maybe I could speak to my friends at the DOJ, see if they could delay the depositions.
No, don't do that.
That'll make Weitz come after us harder.
Just focus on tracking the bank account that Roman gave us.
If we find Sandstorm's money, then we change the game.
Okay.
I'll see what I can do.
So, what's the play on Weitz? The raid was a big loss but we've got nothing to hide, so we fight him with the truth.
(beeping) I just got a hit on another tattoo.
Should we wait until after the depositions? No, nothing changes.
We've got a job to do, so let's go and do it.
- Hey.
- Yeah? You heard from Reade? No.
He won't return my calls.
Since he quit, I guess he doesn't have to.
(phone vibrating) (groaning) Yeah, that's been ringing all morning.
Oof! You look pretty roughed up.
You get hit by a truck or something? It doesn't matter.
I'm just happy you're awake.
I'm tired of talking to myself.
My name's Travis.
What's your name? Just mind your own business.
Well okay.
A while back, I decoded a string of numbers embedded in Jane's hourglass tattoo.
They match a corporate ID for a 501-C non-profit called Life Prospect Inc.
Is that some kind of charity foundation? Yeah, but they barely exist.
The address and phone number associated with it are defunct and the money funneled into the foundation is obscured by layers upon layers of shell companies.
There was nothing to investigate until now.
This is 16-year-old Amber Wallace, found dead at her foster home this morning.
What does she have to do with the non-profit? Life Prospect bankrolls the private foster home she lived in.
Wait.
So you think my tattoo is connected to her death? Sandstorm put this non-profit on your body and now a young girl is dead.
It's certainly worth looking into.
What else do we know? Not much.
Police arrived at the scene, but I've been checking Amber's social media.
Her posts have grown increasingly more erratic over the past week.
"I'd run but the devil is always watching.
"There is no escape.
I know he's coming for me.
" Let's go and take a look at that crime scene.
Oh, there's the smiling faces I came to see.
It's very lovely to see you again.
Wish we could say the same.
I'm gonna set up in the conference room.
Get ready for depositions in ten.
Where is our tattooed friend? I'm looking forward to speaking with her today.
Jane is heading out on a case and so are we.
Oh, you guys have a case.
That's so crazy.
I also have a case.
Everybody has to speak with me today or face immediate suspension.
It's your call.
We'll answer any questions that you have regarding the raid on the Sandstorm compound, but it's gonna have to wait until we get back.
I can't have you interfering with us doing our job.
That's fine.
I'll interview Special Agent Patterson first.
You don't normally take the lab rat in the field, do you? I'll send her down.
(subdued chatter) (siren) Tasha, see if they found anything on her body.
- You with the FBI? - Yeah.
You're gonna want to see this.
So, where is everyone? We got a frantic call from a young boy.
Arrived five minutes later to an empty house.
All six kids missing, no sign of the foster mom.
- Did you try calling her? - Tried, but her phone's off.
We're running a trace on it now.
How do six kids and their foster mom just vanish like ghosts? Amber said the devil was after her and now they're gone.
Maybe he was after all of them.
Or maybe he's already found them.
It looks like she's holding her own.
Well, she's handled worse forms of questioning.
I talked to social services.
No one has any idea where those missing kids or their foster mom are, but I put out missing persons alerts and got one hit.
17-year old Eli Bello was caught on tape trying to steal a cell from a bodega in Yonkers.
When the clerk caught him, Eli dropped the phone and ran off.
That's a long way from home.
What's he doing up in Yonkers? He could be running with the rest of the kids or he could be the one chasing them.
Does he have a motive to kill the girl? To throw her out the window? They looked like good friends to me.
(Jane) Maybe something changed.
What's the medical examiner saying? They're backed up as usual.
Wait, what about the charity foundation? - Any idea who's behind it? - Not yet.
The techs are looking at evidence at the foster home now, trying to trace the foundation's purchases to a permanent address.
We need to find Eli.
Maybe he can tell us what's really going on here.
I'll loop in Patterson as soon as she's done with Weitz.
I'd like to move on to your personal life, Special Agent Patterson.
Would it be fair to characterize you as unlucky in love? I suppose so.
You suppose so? There was a Sandstorm mole working in your team's midst for over a year.
You had a romantic relationship with him and you had no idea he was a terrorist.
Yeah, Borden may have Nigel Thornton.
Let's use his actual name for the record.
Nigel Thornton may have fooled us, but it was because of my relationship with him that I was able to discover the truth.
And where did that truth get you? It certainly didn't prevent the tragedy that occurred during the Sandstorm compound raid.
Did the discovery of Nigel's identity lead to any apprehension of Sandstorm operatives? Did it lead to any Intel regarding the whereabouts of Sandstorm's leader or anyone? - Not yet.
- Why is that? Well, he's dead, but we're still using what we know about him in conjunction with other leads.
Let's talk about those other leads.
It says here that you assisted Sandstorm in the theft of a microchip.
- Is that correct? - I didn't assist Sandstorm.
They were gonna get that chip one way or another.
Our involvement allowed us to get a peek at it.
- How come just a peek? - The data upload was compromised.
Compromised by Jane Doe.
It says here that she aborted the mission to save her brother, another terrorist.
How many criminals need to undermine you before you realize that there is something rotten inside your team? I want to bring Roman in on this missing kids case.
Jane, he's not an FBI agent.
Well, technically, I'm not, either.
I cleared Roman to assist us with Sandstorm cases, not tattoo cases.
He feels trapped.
He's out of his cell but he's still isolated.
This could give him purpose.
Or it could overwhelm him.
He needs to become acclimated to his new situation.
I think he's ready.
Even if he is, Weitz is out for blood.
Now, today is not a good day to get Roman to assist us with this case.
Roman was raised at an orphanage.
He could have useful insights.
I think Jane is right.
Roman had an underlying loyalty for Shepherd.
If he feels rudderless now, we could risk a backslide.
Look, this is a chance for us to show the good that we do, that his loyalty is in the right place with us.
All right.
When Roman finishes his session with Dr.
Sun, we can bring him in, but we have to keep him out of Weitz's crosshairs.
- Okay.
- All right.
Sir, I still need your insurance information.
- I'm not going through my plan.
- Are you sure? I've said it five times already! I'm sure! This place will get its money, okay? Hey, how long you had it? PTSD? Come on, that little outburst there, shouting in your sleep, leg tremors.
I know the signs.
Same stuff was happening to me when I came back from Iraq.
- You a vet too? - No.
Bad divorce or something? (laughing) I'm FBI, and I don't have PTSD.
Okay.
I don't understand.
Does this tattoo have something to do with me or Shepherd? Probably not, but it's a chance to show everyone you can be a trusted member of this team.
Oh, so they don't throw me back in a cage when this is all over? Look, it's a big opportunity.
It's important.
How'd it go with Weitz? He's not just here about the Sandstorm raid.
He's asking about other ops, twisting the facts, trying to make us look reckless.
That won't change a thing, all right? All of us, we just keep telling the truth.
- What if that's not enough? - That's all we've got.
How are we on this case? Still no sign of the kids or their foster mom, but we traced the purchases made by the foundation for the home.
The transactions were all linked to a credit card with a Brooklyn address, a warehouse destroyed in a fire ten months ago.
What about Eli Bello? This is Don Licata, Eli's music teacher.
He lives two blocks away from the bodega that Eli robbed.
So maybe Eli was up in Yonkers, trying to reach out to somebody he knows.
We can't get ahold of Licata, but he works from home.
Well, I guess we're going to Yonkers.
I want to go to the city morgue, try to expedite Amber's autopsy.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna have to sit this one out.
I'm next up in Weitz's batting order.
Maybe we can take Roman.
If we do take you out, your guards have to come.
I understand.
And you will be limited in what you're allowed to do.
Whatever you need.
All right.
Let's move.
It is always great chatting with you, Special Agent Zapata, but where is your partner? No one can seem to find Special Agent Reade and serve him his subpoena.
- I don't know.
- Any reason he'd be avoiding us? Hiding something, maybe? Or maybe he's taking some time off after being buried alive in a terrorist ambush.
Could be, could be.
A lot of agents lost their lives in that raid.
According to my notes here, there's some discussion about whether or not to abort the mission once you realized communications were down.
Now, do you agree with Assistant Director Weller's decision to move in anyway? He didn't give that order.
- Really? Who did? - Nas Kamal.
Nas Kamal.
She's not even an agent at the FBI.
Why would she be giving orders for assistant directors? The Sandstorm operation is a joint task force.
She was leading the operation in Weller's absence.
So you're saying that Assistant Director Weller was absent for the biggest FBI tragedy in recent memory? He was lured away by someone claiming that the mother of his unborn child needed him at the hospital.
Assistant Director Weller still made it in time to save Nas and Reade.
I'm well aware of his heroics after the fact, but why do you think the same terrorist group that killed so many other agents work to keep him out of harm's way? What makes Assistant Director Weller so valuable to them? All right.
I'll go through the front.
You guys cover the back just in case he runs.
This guy's a music teacher, right? You really think he's gonna run? Well, sometimes people surprise you.
(high-pitched whistle) You hear that? Go around the back.
(high-pitched whistle) Eli we're with the FBI.
We're here to help you, not hurt you.
I just want to ask you some questions about your foster home.
I didn't kill Amber.
They did! Who's they? - Hey.
- Hey.
What brings you to paradise? I need that autopsy on Amber Wallace right away.
Maybe I could observe and report the findings to my team.
She's not mine anymore.
Her family requested she transfer to another jurisdiction.
- Her family? - Yeah.
Two guys just came by with the transfer papers.
Left with the body a couple minutes ago.
- Excuse me! Hey! - Come on, let's go! Hey! FBI! (tires squealing) Does he remind you of anyone? You mean, does he remind me of myself? We're both orphans.
Other than that, I don't see many similarities.
Eli's never killed anyone.
How can you be so sure? I don't remember much, but I remember the first time I took someone's life.
It takes something from you too.
Eli's not scared of himself.
He's scared of something else.
Eli, do you know where your foster family could be? Your brothers and sisters.
Your foster mom, Carol.
They could be in danger, so if you know where they are, you need to tell us.
How do I know you're not with those people? Which people? Amber meant a lot to you, didn't she? She was like my sister.
Oh, I believe you that you didn't kill her, but if you know who did, we can make sure they're held responsible, but we're gonna need your help, Eli.
I-I just I can't Look, we're getting nowhere with Eli, so tell me you found something on the missing kids or their foster mom.
I wish I could, but it's like they just vanished into thin air.
The music teacher any idea why Eli was trying to find him? He's been vacationing in Rio, had no idea Eli was camping out at his place, and the men who took Amber's body from the morgue got it by using fraudulent transfer papers.
Any idea where they took the body? They ditched the van they used off Highway 87, burned to a crisp, no bodies inside.
This whole thing seems like a cover-up, but what are they covering? Eli's our best lead, but we've got to get him to open up.
That, um that thing Eli was playing with at the house - where is it? - The pitch pipe? We took it from him in processing.
I think you should give it back to him.
He brought it with him from the foster home.
It obviously means something to him, like our coin.
It could establish trust and get him talking.
- All right.
That's a good point.
- Let's get it.
I just finished up with Weitz.
Jane, you're up next.
You ever been in a romantic relationship with Assistant Director Weller? How is that relevant to this investigation? You're an outlier, Jane.
You were never trained by the FBI.
You're barely vetted.
I'm trying to understand how you're allowed in the field at all, but if you two were an item No, I've never had a romantic relationship with Kurt Weller.
I've earned my spot on this team by proving myself time and time again.
Was one of those times when you had your brother in your custody and instead of taking him directly to the FBI, you wiped his memory with drugs and then lost him instead? It sounds like you already have an opinion on that.
Were your actions intended to protect your brother or yourself? What did your brother know that you didn't want brought to light? Look, Roman would have killed me or died trying before letting me bring him to the FBI, so wiping his memory was the only option I had.
And this call that you made to erase all the knowledge from your most valuable asset, was that made with Assistant Director Weller's approval? No.
I made it on my own.
Was Assistant Director Weller upset about that, that you made a very personal decision on your own? Were you reprimanded? Weller trusts me.
We're on the same page.
If your loyalties are with your brother or yourself and not with the FBI or your country, where does that leave Assistant Director Weller's loyalties, since he's on the same page? (phone vibrating) Boy, you are a popular guy.
Is that your wife? Girlfriend? No wife, no girlfriend, not even a dog.
Well, that's too bad.
That would have been cool if that was your schnauzer calling.
(laughing) Can you imagine a dog dialing a phone? (coughing) So, what's wrong with you, Travis? Kidney, liver.
Who knew all those years of hard drinking and drugs would have such consequences? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Two tours in Iraq and a decade trying to erase it.
The only thing that went away was the wife and kids.
But you've been ducking phone calls all day.
What are you trying to erase? We thought you might want that back.
You know, like I said before, Eli, we want to find your foster family and we don't want what happened to Amber to happen to them too, but we need your help.
You need to talk to us.
The sooner you tell us what you know, the faster we can make sure everyone is safe.
I don't know where they are.
I ran after Amber jumped out the window.
So she jumped.
Why would she do that? Carol Your foster mom? What about her? She gives us these pills every day, and the medicine was making our heads all messed up.
Carol said the feelings would pass, but Amber, she was getting worse and worse, and then she just jumped.
(Weller) So, what was this medicine for? (Eli) She said we had to take it to feel better, like vitamins, that all the bad feelings would go away eventually.
Sometimes the doctor would come by to check on us.
I can't remember his name.
It's it's too hard to pronounce.
We just called him Dr.
S.
If you didn't kill Amber, then why did you run? Because I knew no one would believe me.
That's why you went to your music teacher's house.
You trusted him.
And I thought maybe if I showed him this maybe he could help.
Have Patterson test that pill, all right? We need to know what it's supposed to treat.
Got it.
And I'll try and track this "Dr.
S.
" Assistant Director Weller, it's that time.
How would you describe your relationship with Jane Doe? - Professional.
- Exclusively? Uh, we go out for beers after work sometimes.
So, professional and personal.
Got it.
How would you describe your relationship with Jane Doe's mother? She's the leader of the terrorist organization we're trying to stop.
She's my enemy.
"Enemy.
" That's not a word I would use for someone who paid for my schooling.
Wouldn't "benefactor" be more apt? I didn't know about that, but she's still my enemy.
She took out as many FBI agents as she could during that compound raid.
She killed her friend Sean Clark right in front of you.
Both times, you got to walk away.
Seems like she's still your benefactor to me, so what's in it for her? This is ridiculous.
You really think that I'm working for Sandstorm? On the surface, it seems absurd, but you look at the evidence and it starts to pile up pretty good.
- Really? - Shepherd paid for your schooling.
She spared your life.
Your not-so-professional relationship with her daughter, Jane Doe.
You're trying to make connections that aren't there, serving your own personal interests.
I don't need a whole fire.
I just need a little bit of smoke to bring this in front of Congress, and what I've got here is a hell of a lot of smoke, Assistant Director Weller.
(Jane) How'd it go with Weitz? Let's just focus on the case.
All right, the pill Eli gave us isn't on the market yet.
It's made up of compounds found in most antidepressants, but it also has compound combinations - I've never seen in medications before.
- Like what? The hallmarks of these meds are erratic behavior and suicidal tendencies, but this drug creates side effects way more aggressive than normal.
Do you think the foster mom is getting paid by the charity foundation to test this drug? Why would someone do that? It would give them an edge on getting it to the marketplace faster.
They're using these foster kids to perform illegal drug tests.
That's what the tattoo was pointing at.
And whatever company's behind this is trying to remove the evidence.
If those kids are still alive, they're in serious danger.
We should take care of the rest of them now.
No! This is not what I agreed to! Do you think that I want to do this? If we're caught now, this will all have been for nothing.
I need time to correct for this.
Their sacrifice will allow us to save millions of others someday.
Can't we just place them out of state somewhere? Surely there has to be another way.
If they ever talked, we'd spend the rest of our lives in prison.
Are you willing to take that risk? Will they feel anything? It would be like they're falling asleep.
Maybe I could read to them when you do it? That would be nice.
Do whatever you want, Carol, but the longer we wait, the riskier it gets.
Someone at the morgue was on to us, and we still have one subject in the wind.
We finish the detox first.
Another hour, their systems will be clean.
Then we proceed with final injections.
Where is that damn remote? (groaning) Whoa, what are you doing? You know the nurse said hockey is bad for my blood pressure, but if I watch one more home design show, I'm gonna start knocking down walls.
Whoa, that's probably not a good idea.
I got it.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, easy.
You all right? - Sorry.
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
You okay? Uh, no.
When I first got back from my deployment, I tried booze and pills to get control of my life again.
Now I can't even get up and change the damn channel.
I tell you what, you've got to figure out the right way to gain control of your life, 'cause the wrongs ways, you don't want to see where that ends up, believe me.
What's the right way? You can't keep it inside.
You've got to talk about it, no matter how much you don't want to.
When I was younger there was this coach.
My forensic accountants were able to trace the money Roman withdrew from the Alice Kruger account.
- And? - And it's laundered through a number of blind trusts and offshore banks, but we're closing in fast.
If Weitz gets his way, that won't matter.
The charges he's brought are ludicrous.
Yeah, to us, all right? But to a Congressional hearing, my connections to Shepherd put the entire team at risk.
(phone vibrating) It's Patterson.
Please give me some good news.
Since the analysis of the medicine came back with nothing we could identify, I decided to take a look at the capsule itself.
How does that help us find the kids? Only four pharmaceutical companies carry this specific capsule.
We pulled employee records with photos and showed them to Eli.
Meet Dr.
S.
, the one Eli said was checking in on them.
Dr.
Ronald "Scrizzy" "Scurzy" Why do I have to say these names first? Skrzypacz.
I have a Polish uncle.
He's the lead of the research team at Vanek Pharmaceuticals.
And he also has a suspiciously high success rate of getting his medications through the FDA process.
Because he uses these kids as the practice test.
- Exactly.
- Where is Dr.
Skrzypacz now? We tracked his cell to his medical office, but his assistant hasn't seen him all day.
So these kids are the only evidence that these experiments actually took place.
So how do we find him? We dangle a loose end.
No, I-I can't.
You're the only proof that we've got that Dr.
S.
was conducting these tests.
Call his office, all right? Now, he'll ask to meet you.
It won't get that far.
We'll track him using his phone.
We'll find out where he is.
Hopefully, we'll find the other kids.
And Carol, you think she's okay? I don't know, Eli, but the other kids, you can still help them.
Okay.
I'll do it.
I don't remember much from that time in my life.
No idea what he did or didn't do to me, but he had a tape with my name on it.
And now you have it.
Yeah.
I can't bring myself to watch it.
You know, when I came back from my last tour, all my buddies who died over there, they kept visiting me in my sleep.
I couldn't figure out how to make 'em leave me alone.
What'd you do? This shrink made me look at their photos, photos of what happened to them.
Yeah.
When you watch this tape, whatever's on it becomes real, but it also becomes contained.
You mind can stop trying to fill in the blanks.
If you spend your life running from this, it's gonna eat you alive.
Eli's phone call worked.
Dr.
"Scrazzy," "Scrizzy" - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You get it.
He left a message for Eli.
(Dr.
S.
) Eli, it's Dr.
S.
It sounds like you need medical attention.
I can do a checkup, but you have to tell me where you are.
Call me on the number right away.
We were able to trace the burner phone he left the voicemail on.
- Where to? - A warehouse in Queens.
The lease was paid for by a different 501-C but it's the same shell company money maze as the one on Jane's tattoo.
If the doctor's there, do you think the kids are too? Let's hope so.
(siren) (Weller) We're here.
Roman, you're unarmed, so you have to stay close to us, understand? - Okay.
- All right, let's go.
Al, you two cover the back.
Jane, Roman, you've got the side entrance.
Tasha, you're with me.
No, no! This is not okay! I never should have let them talk me into this.
FBI! Drop your weapons! (shouting and screaming) (Jane) Put it down! Stay down.
Stay down.
Don't! - Don't! - Aah! (whimpering) - Where are the kids? - There's a medical suite in the back, but I think it's too late.
They're alive.
(kids) Help! Please help! FBI! Stop! I've got him! Get the kids out of here! It's okay.
We're here to help.
I'll kill the power to the machines.
(kid) Please let me go.
(screaming and shouting) Come on! In here, guys.
Come on! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Where's Roman? Roman.
Roman! Over here.
It's okay.
They're safe.
Weller, how are they? There's no serious injuries, but there's no telling what long-term effects those drugs may have.
What about Eli? We brought him in to be evaluated.
Tasha's checking on him now.
So, where will they go? Social services will get them a new home and make sure they keep 'em together so they can help each other recover.
- If they can recover.
- Yeah.
Well, at least they'll be together.
- You did great today.
- (Weller) You did.
Hey, we've got a problem.
- Eli's not in his room.
- What? Come on.
Eli, what are you doing? How could you do this to us? - To Amber? - It's not what you think.
You got paid to make us sick.
No, no, the medicine was supposed to help you.
I care for all of you deeply.
No, all you cared about is money.
Eli.
Eli, put the scissors down.
Amber is dead because of her.
And she's under arrest.
She will pay for what she's done, I give you my word.
- (Eli) That's not good enough.
- Eli.
Eli, please, just tell me what you want.
- I want Amber back.
- Eli, don't let what she's done, ruin the rest of your life.
It already has.
She can't hurt you anymore.
The things that you've had to go through, they can make you stronger, but you have to make the right choices.
You can start by putting those scissors down.
Eli put 'em down.
There you go, there you go.
Drop 'em.
Drop 'em.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're okay.
- You wanted to see us? - Yeah.
Tasha, I want you to take point on the Sandstorm operation.
What are you talking about? What's going on? The only way that I can stop Weitz taking the entire team before Congress is if I take the blame for everything myself.
- You're just giving up? - No, I'm not, but this is the only play that we've got.
This way, the team can still take Sandstorm down.
There is no team without you.
Tasha, you'll run things until Pellington finds my replacement.
You can't carry this by yourself.
We'll fight it together.
Our fight is with Sandstorm and we can't continue it if Weitz wins, so this is the only way that I can protect the rest of you and the mission, and this is happening.
It's my call.
Can you please state for the record that your testimony here today is fully voluntary, you're not compelled to give this testimony by me or any third party and that your sworn statement is the complete and full truth? Yes.
I'm here on my own accord.
Well, let's get started.
I'd like to begin by talking about Assistant Director Weller.
- Now, as I understand it - Let's save us both some time.
- Excuse me? - It was me.
- What was you? - All of it.
Any perceived missteps taken by this task force in our attempt to bring Sandstorm down, they're solely my responsibility.
I alone made the decision to send Jane in as an undercover operative.
I alone let Nigel Thornton, aka Robert Borden, undermine this entire operation, and I alone made the call to send FBI agents into the Sandstorm compound, which resulted in multiple casualties, and I alone deserve to suffer the consequences.
- I know what you're doing.
- Telling the truth? Taking the heat off of everyone else by jumping in the fire yourself.
Look, you're smarter than this, Matthew.
You know that if you drag this team in front of a Congressional subcommittee, you'll have a fight on your hands.
Yeah, a fight I can win.
A fight you might win.
But if Weller brings Shepherd in tomorrow, he'll be the hero and you'll look like a fool.
What I'm offering you is a sure thing, a guaranteed win.
I can't name a single AUSA that has brought in a top NSA operative in front of Congress.
It would be unprecedented.
Or you can continue this witch hunt against Weller and his team and I can promise you that I will use all my substantial resources to find every last piece of dirt on Matthew Weitz and pursue a hearing of my own.
So, Mr.
Weitz, your move.
- We need to talk.
- It's too late for that.
I already got myself a bigger fish.
But if you want, we can go for coffee sometime or tea or Tell you what, you figure out the beverage and give me a call, okay? See you on the Hill, Ms.
Kamal.
What have you done? This was the best way to protect the team.
I'm not gonna let you take responsibility for my mistakes.
Even if you take the blame, he could still come after everyone else.
I'm not officially connected to this office or the FBI.
This way, he gets his win and the team can continue to fight Sandstorm.
That is not your call to make.
This is my team.
Yes, and they need you desperately.
Kurt, without you, there's no hope of figuring out what Sandstorm is planning for phase two, and I've been chasing them for far too long.
- It's time I passed the torch.
- Don't do this.
It's already done, Kurt.
Now, make sure it's worth it.
Look at you, walking out of here.
Lucky man.
If I was lucky, I wouldn't have ended up here in the first place.
I was grading on a curve.
(laughing) You know what? Let me leave you my number.
Just in case.
Just in case I need an FBI agent? (laughing) In case you need somebody to change the damn channel for you.
Jackass.
Take care of yourself.
I'll try.
Hey if and when you decide to face those demons of yours, don't do it alone.
I guess I won't be needing this anymore, but I thought we could all do with one of these.
It has been a distinct privilege to serve with each of you.
The privilege has been all ours.
You sacrificed your entire career for us.
I lost a battle so you could win the war.
I'll drink to that.
My people just sent this.
The accounts where Sandstorm are holding their funds.
You cut them off from their money, you back them into a corner, maybe force them to make a mistake.
Or derail their plans altogether.
That is one hell of a going away present.
I gotta say, none of us wanted you here when this all started, but now, it's hard to imagine this place without you.
I never thought that I would be able to work with a team again, but I sure am gonna miss this one.
Thank you, to all of you.
Give them hell.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, thanks for coming over.
Thanks for calling me back.
Sure you want to do this? No, but what I've been doing isn't working.
I'm tired of pretending like I'm okay.
I need to know what happened to me so I can move on with my life.
This is it the last piece we need for phase two.
Do I want to know why you need all this? I'm not paying you $20 million to ask questions, but if I was you, I'd avoid the Western Hemisphere for a while.
