Blindspot (2015) s03e12 Episode Script

1 [KNIFE SCRAPING.]
Okay, so what's the location? This doesn't have to be difficult.
[SOBBING.]
Fine.
Do it the hard way.
[CLATTERING.]
Avery, we know that you've been through a lot.
We need to know how you got mixed up with Roman.
Just start from the beginning.
What if I don't want to? Can I go? You wiped Roman's memory and locked him in a cage.
Are you gonna do the same thing to me if I don't cooperate? This is different.
Why? Because I'm your daughter? He was family, too.
Roman wanted to convince us that you were dead.
Why did you help him do that? He told me he would help me avenge my father's death.
The man that actually raised me, not whoever knocked you up.
So, someone killed your father? No, but he might as well have.
After my mom died of cancer, my dad poured himself into his work.
Then he got a call from his boss letting him go.
What kind of work did your dad do? He was a corporate advisor.
He loved his job.
Me and that job were the only thing that he had left.
Then he just had me.
Threw himself off a bridge.
They never found his body, and I never got to say good-bye.
I'm so sorry.
So, I don't know, I I just decided to look for you.
Then Roman got wind of my search and reached out.
What did he tell you? That you weren't worth looking for.
That my energy was better spent searching for the man who drove my dad to suicide.
Who is this guy? Your dad's former boss.
Hank Crawford.
[READE.]
So, what do we think? - Can we trust her? - I don't know.
And her dad really worked for HCI Global? Yeah Senior advisor, just like she said.
Everything that Avery's told us lines up with what we know so far.
Maybe that's by design.
We have to question everything she says, how she met Roman, how her father died, if he's even dead everything.
She's not a criminal mastermind.
She's a teenager.
We should give her a polygraph before we use any of the intel she gives us.
If we give her a polygraph, she won't trust us.
I mean, she barely does now.
Jane, what do you think? Yeah, do it.
We don't know Avery or what she's capable of.
All right.
I'll call a specialist.
Zapata.
Jane if you want to talk I can't just go back to trusting you and forget how you lied to me.
And I wish I could.
[BEEPING.]
Oh, my God.
I was hoping to check in with you about Hirst.
Until we vet Avery, Hirst is our only link to Crawford.
Has the CIA gotten any intel from her yet? The CIA can't hold and interrogate US citizens, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
But off the record, no.
- Not yet.
- Who's in charge, Keaton? Well, maybe he's not asking the right questions.
Why don't you take a run at her? You know the tattoo cases way better than he does.
Theoretically.
I could take a day trip and see what I come up with.
In theory, I'd say go for it.
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING.]
Patterson's got another tattoo.
All right, I'll keep you updated.
- You do the same? - Yeah.
[PATTERSON SIGHS.]
Please tell me you traced this.
We tried.
The video's encrypted, bounced around the world ten times over, and the Kumiki puzzle he's assembling, available at almost any toy store.
Well, there's no ships on my body.
No, but the individual pieces that make up the ship, they're scattered throughout the new tattoos.
I would never have connected them without this video.
So, Roman wants us to solve this today.
And he's showing us how.
If you build the ship with the tattoos, there's a message.
If you look at the ship from the top, it says "Donald," and when you look at it from the bottom, it spells out "Ley.
" Who's Donald Ley? The ship is part of the answer.
We're not looking for Donald Ley.
We're looking for Donald Shipley.
Your first partner at the bureau? I remember you telling me about this guy.
Isn't there bad blood between you? Yeah, he left the FBI, halfway through a six-month operation, to take a job at a private weapons firm.
- Elyria Technologies.
- [WELLER.]
Yeah.
They develop everything from automated weapon systems to fighter jet technologies.
But why is Roman pointing us to Weller's old partner? Well, according to his financials, Shipley amassed a huge debt, all of which just got paid off last week.
Someone's bribing him to get insider access to Elyria.
Where is he now? Tracking his phone.
He's headed north on the FDR.
Let me approach him.
Alone.
I'll bring him in here for questioning.
Okay, Jane and I will back you up, we'll stay out of sight Let's go.
Don! Kurt, what the hell are you doing here, man? I just want to talk to you, that's all.
Okay, fine, but you gotta go, now, go! Your name came up on a case.
What the hell is this? I'm working undercover for Homeland Security.
Play it cool, or we're both dead.
[JANE.]
Who are these guys? [READE.]
I have no idea.
We should get out there.
Kurt's outnumbered.
Wait, no, hold on! He just waved us off.
What the hell is this? You know I don't like strangers.
Ameni, I needed help with your request.
You said it was under control.
It is.
But you're asking me to smuggle an EMP out of one of the most secure facilities in the country.
So, I needed someone from electromagnetic weapons.
That's where I step in.
If you want something from my department, you're gonna need me.
I told Kurt what we're all about.
He's on board.
But I like getting paid.
I'm not running a charity.
So, we good or not? [WOMAN.]
These are the specs for the servers.
This is the Twin Rivers power plant.
- How'd you get this? - All you need to worry about is getting an EMP strong enough to fry this arrangement of servers all at once.
You see these rooms? They usually have shields to stop attacks like this.
They do, which is why we're going to do it from inside the server vault.
How do you suggest that we get inside? Let the infiltration team worry about that.
You just make sure the EMP works once we're in.
Not a problem.
You have 24 hours.
We'll be ready.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
What the hell have you gotten into? [DOOR OPENS.]
[HIRST.]
Agent Zapata.
I was wondering when they were gonna send in a friendly face.
I guess you have to wait a while longer.
I always liked you.
Oh, yeah? Is that why you kicked me off the task force? Is that why you're here? Did I hurt your feelings? I'm here to talk about Hank Crawford, the man you were actually working for while you were supposed to be serving your country as director of the FBI.
You don't think your CIA buddy's covered that already? I don't know anything useful.
I'd like to try something new.
Torturing me isn't gonna help.
I can't tell you what I don't know.
There's a new drug the CIA's been working on.
[SCOFFS AND LAUGHS.]
A truth serum? Just a little cocktail of narcotics to help open your mind.
Maybe make some connections you'd forgotten about.
Y'all must be getting desperate.
How about this? You take the cocktail, and when we take down Crawford, I put you in a minimum-security facility under an assumed name.
Or you don't and I put you in gen pop today.
How long do you think it'll take Crawford to get to you in there? [WHISTLES.]
So, where are we exactly? Crawford wanted to meet along the main road before caravanning deeper into the desert.
This is the main road? Compared to where we're going, this is Times Square.
We need to go somewhere more remote than this? Yeah.
How secret does this deal have to be? Well, the people we're meeting aren't big on attracting attention.
Neither's Crawford.
If all goes to plan, should be over pretty quick.
And then what? Well I wouldn't worry about it.
So, Donald, how the hell did you get wrapped up in a power plant attack? I work for the most innovative weapons tech company in the country.
Bad guys from all over the world are trying to get their hands on our stuff.
Last year, Ameni approached me.
Offered top dollar for me to be her inside man at Elyria Tech.
And then I took it to my friends at Homeland Security.
Okay, so Homeland has you undercover with Ameni.
What have you done for her? Get her guns without serial numbers, specs on next-gen weapons and development, stuff like that.
And now she wants an EMP? And, what, you're just gonna give it to her? Homeland doesn't care about Ameni.
They want her boss, Nils Bresden.
Nils Bresden, former Green Beret, dishonorably discharged for punching a superior.
Then used his military contacts to create the largest underground militia in the U.
S.
[DON.]
They call themselves the Regiment.
Their main objective is to overthrow the tyrannical government machine.
Guess it's a work in progress.
This guy Bresden is connected to a dozen anti-government attacks in the last four years.
His group set off a bomb in a Miami federal building.
Shot up an office park in Phoenix.
Violent protests in six states.
- List goes on.
- Yeah.
And I've worked with Ameni for a year, and I never met the guy.
But tomorrow, he's gonna lead the infiltration team through the power plant.
That's where we take him down.
So, why is he putting his head out now? Well, using an EMP to knock out the power to New York City, that's bigger than anything they've ever done here.
It makes sense he'd want to oversee it, make sure it's done right.
[WELLER.]
We'll make sure that it isn't.
This operation's over.
That's not your call.
This is a Homeland Security op.
Actually, you're both wrong.
I reached out to Don's handler at Homeland, and it's become a joint operation.
Just like old times, huh, Kurt? You, me, taking down the bad guys? The good old days, right? [ZAPATA, ECHOING.]
Have you ever heard the names Bob and Elsa Drabkin? - Or their daughter, Avery? - No, never.
Where would you meet with Crawford? Usually at a charity event.
Why was Crawford so interested in the Loewe case? The guy Loewe paid to sabotage that train, Crawford wanted to keep him out of prison, so I buried the case.
Why? What was so special about him? He was part of a militia.
What militia? It was called the Regiment.
It's not that complicated.
- All right? - Once the cylinder's together, you just hook the correct component from the capacitor to the oscillator and the regulator to the power supply.
All right? It's just about numbers.
Lead 12 to contact 1.
7 to 13.
14 to 4.
I'll get it.
Yeah, you'd better.
Or Ameni's gonna put a bullet in both of us.
In case you don't remember, I have run a few undercover ops.
I remember me running 'em, and you coming along for the ride.
[TEXT CHIME.]
It's Ameni.
She's moved up the attack.
Wants us ready in an hour.
Time to loop in Homeland.
- Gentlemen.
- Sir.
Welcome to the future.
What you see here represents 35 years of hard work.
And this land that we're standing on will be the cornerstone of our operations.
And you you did good work securing that coin.
Couldn't have done this deal without it.
Just doing my job.
Good to hear.
Because I'll be depending on you a lot these next few months and hopefully long into the future.
So, what exactly is this operation? Eager to learn, I like that.
But all in due time.
Right now, we got an appointment to keep.
They still on schedule? Yep, just spoke to Bresden.
He's gathering the troops right now.
Good, this deal doesn't go down if he doesn't play his part.
[CAR DOORS SHUT.]
[CAR STARTING.]
What's up, mate, something bothering you? No, not at all.
Just don't get too comfy.
Oh, yeah, why is that? Because I know you're not Tom Jakeman.
You're a fraud.
If we don't get you both out there, the mission is blown.
Agent Mackenzie's right.
We gotta move now.
[READE.]
Weller hasn't had enough practice assembling the EMP.
I've run through it a couple times.
You're supposed to be an expert on electromagnetic weapons.
Okay, wait, can't we stall the militia? Say it's taking longer to get the EMP? Delay, and we might lose Bresden.
Is that all Homeland Security cares about? What about your agents? Hey I just got off the phone with Zapata.
Can I have a word with you guys? Hank Crawford got Hirst to tamper with several cases directly related to the militia.
And she handled the payouts for Bresden's top lieutenants, all through back channels.
So, Crawford could be behind the attack.
But how would knocking out power to New York City help him? I don't know when we bring Bresden in, we can ask him.
[MUTTERS.]
All right.
Hey, where are we staging backup? Weller and Don are on their own at the warehouse.
Too risky to put teams outside of there.
Then I want ears on everything.
Done, you and I can run point at the power plant.
As soon as Bresden arrives with the militia, - we move in to make arrests.
- All right, set it up.
Do you think I'm doing the right thing? What do you mean? I remember what it's like sitting in that chair.
How it felt to be examined.
And now I'm making Avery go through the exact same thing.
You just want the truth.
Like all of us.
She's my daughter.
And I just wish that I could trust her.
You don't know her.
It's not your fault.
Roman engineered this.
He wants us second-guessing every decision we make.
No one is gonna blame you for being extra-careful.
Except for Avery.
She's still half-you, right? She'll come around.
Just like you did.
[AMENI.]
Is it ready? Barely.
Late notice and all? [WELLER.]
One EMP device, neatly divided and packed, ready for smuggling into the power plant.
When do we leave? Right after we test it.
I wanna see you put it together.
This is sensitive equipment, Ameni.
Let's just wait until we're inside.
I want to make sure it works and that your guy can do what he says he can.
Guess I'd better get started.
[AMENI.]
You've got ten minutes to assemble the EMP.
[WELLER.]
Copy that.
Weller only put the device together once.
Think he can pull it off? We're about to find out.
[DOOR HISSING.]
Hey, hey, I'm sorry about all this.
And I I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you want to talk.
I have nothing to say to you.
I did what you asked.
I told you and Kurt the truth.
And my reward is being strapped to a machine and asked the same questions a hundred more times.
Avery Avery! I know that this is hard.
No, it's infuriating.
And it's a waste of time.
You could be out there getting Crawford, but instead you're here, interrogating me.
[SCOFFS.]
Well, I hope you got what you wanted.
[DOOR HISSING.]
[AMENI.]
One minute left, champ.
No sweat.
You a gambler, Ameni, huh? No, I like to keep my money.
Had a horse last weekend that was 12-to-1 odds.
Paid off 14 grand on top of the four I won last week.
That's a great story.
- Done.
- Great.
Let's fire it up.
You sure you wanna do that? Don't you need your phones? Just uploaded my video to the cloud.
Infiltration team has everything else.
All right.
Don't say that I didn't warn you.
[MACHINE WHIRRING LOUDLY.]
[ZAPPING.]
[BEEP, BUZZ.]
The EMP knocked out Weller's bug.
We're completely deaf and blind until Bresden shows up.
We could call an audible.
Raid the warehouse.
It won't work.
I spent years chasing this guy.
Don and Weller are meeting him here at the power plant for the attack This is how we get him.
You don't think the guards at the power plant aren't gonna notice all of us walking in with a backpack full of EMP parts? - You got someone inside? - We were never hitting the power plant.
What do you mean? Where are we going? Bresden'll brief us on the target when we get there.
Let's load up! That EMP test would've burned out our bug.
So now we're on our own.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
I signed up for an attack on a power plant, not a camping trip.
Oh [LAUGHING.]
I think what Kurt's saying is we calibrated this EMP specifically to take out the server at the plant.
The specifications we gave you will work.
So, what's the real target? This the new recruit? Yeah, I am.
And I'm all for you sending a message The time for messages is over.
We're about to rip Big Brother's eye out by the root.
Gentlemen, we are a five-mile hike away from a secret bunker operated by the U.
S.
Treasury Department.
It's not a place you'll find on any map.
So, how'd you find it? You just gotta ask the right questions.
Every last shred of our financial activity is being scrutinized and dissected, 24-7.
So we blast their servers with an EMP, cripple their ops, blind them indefinitely.
If they won't protect the people, the people have to protect themselves.
Welcome to the revolution, brother.
If it gets out that these servers are destroyed, it's open season for every criminal and terrorist organization.
They can move money, fund attacks, completely undetected.
So we have to stop this.
Yeah, how are we gonna do that? There's 14 of them and two of us.
We're screwed, brother.
Our guy should've been here with the militia by now.
Maybe they're waiting till nightfall.
I'm not gonna risk my agent's life on a "maybe" We're pulling the plug and taking the warehouse now.
Fine, my team stays here in case they show up, but I'm coming with you.
[BEEPING.]
It's from Reade.
The militia no-showed at the power plant.
- They lost Weller and Don.
- What? But Reade picked up one of their guys, someone named Merrick Faunce, at the staging warehouse.
They're bringing him in now.
Okay, the sooner we crack that guy, the sooner we find them.
We gotta make a move.
Once we get to that bunker, all bets are off.
We move now, we're both dead, followed by everyone in that bunker.
- [BEEPING.]
- Bingo.
[BEEPING.]
We should leave some people out here to keep a lookout.
We all go in, we got ten minutes to do this thing.
We need everyone.
[SQUEAKS.]
Mr.
Hafidi.
A distinct pleasure.
Wish I could say the same.
This land has been in my family for generations.
I've been dreading this day.
Well, I empathize with your position.
Family's important to me, too.
So In my research, I learned all about the contributions that your family made in the fight for independence in this region.
And I stumbled across something that I think you should have.
This was my grandfather's.
Yes, and I believe he used that to purchase this land, did he not? He was forced to use many rare coins in his collection to fund the revolution.
I've been trying to recover them, but I I thought this one was lost forever.
- How did you - No, the how, it doesn't matter.
What matters is that it's back where it belongs.
May your legacy never be lost.
This coin is worth a fortune.
Perhaps I'll use it to start a new chapter in the Hafidi family history books.
Well Should I make this official? Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, my people in New York, they are prepping the wire transfer so that our transaction may be completely invisible.
In the meantime, my associate Tom here arranged for some very rare scotch to kick off our celebration something very special.
I must say, you're full of surprises.
Well, I hope you're going to enjoy them.
Please, right inside here.
Smile while you still can, Tommy.
I ran your prints.
Is that supposed to concern me? I was a little disappointed when they actually came back as Thomas Jakeman.
But records can be manipulated, right? So, I decided that I would check into your personal connections.
Or at least try to.
You know what I found really interesting? That the few friends and relatives that you actually seem to have are all dead Tom.
The dead best friend.
The dead family.
It's quite the sob story.
Thank God for that PTSD support group, huh? Yeah, that's right.
I tracked down the moderator in Sydney.
And he remembers Tom Jakeman.
And he remembers you, whoever you are.
I got you, you son of a bitch.
Do you know that I am almost going to be sad to tell Crawford when this is over? 'Cause I'm really enjoying watching that smug smile of yours fall off your face.
I don't know what you I'll tell you what I think.
I think that you killed the real Tom Jakeman for his cash.
And that you're using Blake to get to Crawford.
Why? I don't particularly give a rat's ass, because you are done.
Tim, any movement on Hawthorne's offshore banks today? No one move! Get your hands off those keyboards now! Keep 'em where we can see them! Now, you can all survive this, but only if you cooperate.
Round 'em up.
Come with me.
Come with me! [WOMAN.]
Let's go, let's go! [WHISPERING.]
I'm actually with the FBI.
All right? Is there anyone else here? - No.
- Okay, I need you to lie.
I need to thin them out.
Is this everyone? Is this everyone? No! There's more in the service hallways.
Go find 'em before they call for help.
Yes, sir.
You two, get that EMP up and running.
Yes, sir.
[GRUNTING.]
I know that one of you has the code to access this hall.
Who is it? [EMP CLINKING.]
Okay, I'm gonna ask it again.
Who has the code? I do.
That wasn't so hard, was it? Now, open that door so I don't have open your friend's head.
Okay.
The second she opens that door I know, he's gonna kill them all.
[BEEPING.]
[LATCH CLANKS.]
[COMPUTERS BEEPING.]
I did what you wanted.
I'm sorry, honey.
But I'm afraid this is the end of the road for you.
[SHRIEKING.]
No! [GRUNTING, EMPLOYEES SCREAMING.]
[GUNFIRE.]
In the vault! Go, go, go, go! Vault! Uhh! Agh! Kurt, I'm hit! - Lock it when it closes! - What about you? Don't worry about me.
We need one of those bags.
Go, I got you.
[WELLER.]
This is the last EMP part.
We gotta draw them away from the hostages.
Give 'em something to chase.
Can you run? Will you settle for a brisk limp? Get up! Go, go! [GUNFIRE.]
Uhh! Go! Go! [MAN SCREAMS.]
[ZAPATA.]
Why don't we start at the beginning again? What was the first favor you did for Crawford? Back when I was D.
A.
, I expedited a Rico case against one of his competitors.
I didn't see any harm in bending the rules now and then.
I'm sure you can relate.
- Can I? - Well, we're here, aren't we? Oh, you're comparing this to whatever you've done with Crawford? We're both just trying to skirt the system to get things done.
Get things done or protect his interests? Sometimes our interests align.
You crossed the line.
When you were a rookie cop, did you ever think you would drug and interrogate a suspect without a trial, a lawyer, or rights? I mean, what would you even call that? The line isn't fixed.
The more you push it the more it moves.
What the hell's going on? We got Feds, but we're handling it.
We gotta get that backpack.
We can't transfer this much money without being detected unless that facility is down, so handle it now.
Crawford does not reward failure.
Hafidi's getting tired of drinking scotch.
What the hell is the hold-up? I'm sorry I was always such a prick.
Nobody would even blame you if you left me here.
We have no ammo, we can't outrun them.
There's other ways to fight, Don.
[GROANS.]
[BRANCH SNAPS.]
Agh! Uhh! Uhh! One down, ten to go.
And you're up.
We know you're part of the Regiment militia.
And that your leader Nils Bresden is planning an attack on a power plant today.
But the power plant was a decoy, wasn't it? Your buddies are targeting something else.
Militia? I got some buddies I hunt with, but the only target we got this time of year is Canada geese.
Really? You hunt them with the M16s or the ACRs - we found at your place? - I got permits for those.
You also stole six cases of dynamite from a park ranger station, helped plot an attack on the NYPD, smuggled arms across state lines.
Should I go on? An undercover agent has observed everything you've done for this militia.
You've got one chance to help yourself.
But if the two agents we have inside that group end up dead I get it.
I don't know what the real target is.
Bresden kept us in the dark about most of that stuff.
My job was just to pick him up if anything went wrong.
Pick him up where? Highway 47, mile marker 219.
What's at mile marker 219? You're not cleared to know.
But if you were, I'd tell you an offshoot of the Treasury Department has a secret bunker hidden - about three miles from there.
- Why is it a secret? Because it monitors every financial transaction Americans make globally.
Uh, okay, well, that fits the Regiment's anti-government M.
O.
, but what's Crawford's angle? If that monitoring system goes dark, he can make a transaction with anyone, anywhere, completely undetected.
Patterson, clear the chopper for takeoff.
Three guns, a knife, and all the tree branches we want.
Still no signal.
Let's pick off a few more before they force us into a last stand.
I don't think I have much more in me.
Uhh! [MAN.]
They're over there! Come on, come on! Guess it's time for that last stand, huh? All right, let's move.
Let's go.
[GRUNTING SOFTLY.]
[INDISTINCT WHISPER.]
[HIRST.]
How am I doing? 'Cause I gotta tell you, I don't feel so hot.
That'll be all for today.
I wish you luck with all of this, Agent Zapata.
I don't need it.
We've made some solid connections already.
Well, that's exactly why you need it.
The more connections you make puts you more and more on Crawford's radar.
I'm not afraid of him.
Oh, you don't know anything.
But you will soon, heh.
[AMENI.]
Here's the final EMP part.
- [GUNFIRE.]
- Uhh! Fan out! [DISTANT GUNFIRE.]
Damn it! Kurt! Go! [INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
Uhh! - Don, two rounds left.
- Same.
Give me your gun, I'm gonna hold 'em off.
Kurt, I'm half in the bag, man, come on.
I should hold them off.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
Go.
[MAN.]
I see 'em! I'm out.
We're done.
[DISTANT GUNFIRE.]
We were a good time, weren't we? Yeah, we were, bud.
[MAN.]
Go, go! Ahh! Uhh! [SCREAMING.]
- Hey.
- You guys all right? I'm all right, but he's bleeding out.
We gotta get him out of here.
Come on, come on, Don.
This was a complete waste of time.
- Whatever game you're playing - There's no game here.
Pulling funds discreetly from offshore accounts can be delicate Give me a month to ensure complete privacy for this transaction, and I'll add 20%.
No.
This is a sign.
My ancestors are telling me not to sell our land.
I was a fool to convince myself I could.
[CAR STARTING.]
[VICTOR.]
This is the Regiment's fault.
Bresden couldn't hold up his end.
I promise you, I will make him pay.
No, Bresden didn't fail.
He was set up.
Because someone close to me is working with the FBI.
So, who's the Fed? I have a theory.
I've always prided myself on collecting people I trust.
Keeping them close.
That's the only way you can move forward in this world.
So, when I find out that someone isn't who they say they are, that they made me look foolish, kept me in the dark, I take that very personally.
[GROANING.]
And now I can see again.
Uhh! [ROMAN.]
How'd you know it was him? [PANTING.]
When he said that there was a delay at the facility, I made a call.
I had an associate look into the militia and the go-between, which was Victor.
And I had them look into you, too.
- I had to be thorough.
- Of course.
But it was Victor's cell phone that gave him away.
Come on, man, I thought you were getting the bill.
[BEEPING.]
It turns out that Victor had been making calls to FBI numbers.
- Hello? - Hello, Jane.
And then his GPS put him in Berlin a week ago.
When he said he was in Minsk.
What are you doing here, Roman? I just thought it was time that we had a little chat.
And then this morning, he sent the FBI a video file.
[BEEPING.]
Any idea what was on the file? No, it was encrypted.
But I don't think it's a coincidence that a few hours later the FBI took down their militia force and killed this deal.
I'm sorry that you had to see this, Tom.
But I'm also glad.
It's good for you to know what loyalty means to me.
How big a mess did we leave you? The bunker's secure, that's all that matters.
Some of those hostages will need major therapy, but they were glad you were there.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
That's the Treasury Department.
Time to smooth things over with the bigwigs.
- Get some rest.
- All right.
Both of you.
Thanks.
[GROANS.]
I missed this.
What? Getting shot? Slowing us down? Working with you.
Saving the day, getting our man.
So, why'd you take the job at Elyria? I got scared.
I used to think I was the best.
Then I met you, then everyone else at Quantico.
Yeah, turns out I wasn't so special after all.
You were a great agent, Don.
I was fine.
I'm sorry I left the way I did, Kurt.
But the FBI got the better end of that deal.
I'm not perfect.
I never said you were perfect.
[LAUGHING.]
Are you still listening to Matchbox 20? [BOTH LAUGHING.]
I mean, they're probably on a playlist somewhere.
But, anyway, the truth is, I still struggle to work with people sometimes.
I'm always trying to do things by myself.
Guess it's a trust thing.
Don't let the people who screwed you over in the past push away the people who are there for you now.
Hey.
Avery Uh Do you want to grab a bite to eat? - I know a great pizza place - I'm not hungry.
Look, I just, I I've thought maybe you'd want some company after I've got plenty of company.
They're for your own protection.
- We don't know where Roman is - So what? You keep saying you're trying to protect me, but this is prison, too.
Meanwhile, Hank Crawford is still out there.
At least Roman was honest about holding me captive.
Wait.
There's something I wanna show you.
This is everything we have on Hank Crawford.
The man you say is responsible for your father's suicide.
Companies, personal connections.
It grows with every case we work.
Every source we talk to.
I know that it feels horrible being put through all these tests.
Being held under lock and key, but we are on the same team.
And the more we work together, the more we talk, the faster Crawford falls.
I wanna be there.
I wanna see his face when everything he cares about gets taken away from him.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
[SOFT MUSIC.]
Hey.
I'm not letting Roman win.
What happened? Everything all right? No, uh and it might not be for a while.
Look, I know that you have a history of being let down by the people you love.
Your father, your old partner.
Me.
But knowing why you lied about Avery doesn't make me feel any less betrayed.
And that hurt may never go away.
But all of this has just made me feel so lonely.
Afraid to trust the people I should believe in the most.
You and Avery.
And that is exactly what Roman wants.
I'm not gonna give it to him.
Because I wanna trust Avery.
I wanna work this out with you.
I want love back in my life.
So do I.
Come join me.
This is your last chance to enjoy authentic lamb tagine.
We won't be back anytime soon.
Are you giving up on the land deal? No, I don't give up, son.
We can't afford another repeat of today.
Mm.
It's your next assignment.
This is the FBI team that's after me.
The one that Victor was working with.
I want them dead.
Make sure they don't interfere again.
Not a problem.
So folks, we're going to be back after the Winter Olympics.
With all new episodes of 'Blindspot', Friday March second, here on NBC.
Go time your SAT.
A device with the power of mass destruction.
Any system pushed to the point of collapse.
A total overload.
And the person behind it all, could be an old friend.
They don't understand, these are the sacrifices we make.
Emmy Award winner Archie Punjabi returns on an all new 'Blindspot'.
Friday March second, on NBC.
