Blindspot (2015) s03e18 Episode Script

1 All done.
By midnight tonight, the FBI team will no longer be a concern.
Let's hope your friends are more impressive than this safe house.
Well, you're the one who wanted to lay low after Croatia.
"Lay low," not "lay in filth.
" When the Feds go down, we can't afford to have any of it splash back on Crawford.
Don't worry.
These people are as invisible as they are lethal.
Did I ever tell you about my predecessor, Frank? No, but I feel like you're about to.
Crawford's chief counsel for 20 years, until he accidentally brought a corporate spy into a meeting he shouldn't have been in.
The spy had to be dealt with on the spot.
Ruined Crawford's favorite shoes.
Frank was banished, quite literally, to Siberia to oversee our interests there.
The shoes were thrown out.
I get it.
I'm Frank.
No, you're the shoes.
You might be one of Crawford's favorite things now, but well stay clean, my friend.
I know we're all on edge after we failed to take down Crawford and Roman in Croatia, but maybe their travel movement can bear some fruit.
I'm now 97% sure.
Crawford's helicopter escaped from Korcula They're airborne.
to a private airfield in Montenegro.
We also know that a Gulfstream G5 flew from there to Moldova and Moldova to Hong Kong.
Which doesn't have an extradition treaty with the U.
S.
Please tell me we've got something from the land Crawford bought from Bruyere.
I mean, we could, but we'd be lying.
And Bruyere is dead, so he's not talking.
It's been two days, and basically we've got nothing? Whoo! I haven't had this many sleepless nights since I was a Boy Scout.
I was a badge completist.
What the hell did you think I meant? Okay, Roman designed these tattoos to take down Crawford, so there's gotta be something in them we can still use.
You know, I hate to be a bit of a Doubtful Deborah here, but Roman's been established as a bit of a control freak.
I mean, he designed these new tattoos to require his help, so if we don't have his cheat codes, we're kinda screwed.
Is that a break in the case? No.
No, it's nothing.
All right.
How long has Roman been flying around the world as "Tom Jakeman"? Roman has done a stellar job covering up his tracks.
I can't say for sure when he first stole the identity.
Maybe you can check the Australian military records.
I've checked his military records.
I've checked his hospital records, school records, driving records.
I've even checked his Spotify account, looking for any changes in his listening habits.
There's got to be a lead there.
We're just not gonna find it quickly.
Okay.
Let's go home, get some rest, and regroup in the morning with some fresh eyes.
- All right? - Um I'm still getting reimbursed for this, right? All right, what are you in the mood for tonight? Thai or Italian? Hmm? Roman's still out there, protecting Crawford, planning God-knows-what.
Kurt, I can't just - I-I have to - Have to eat? Yes, you do.
So, what are we gonna order in? Thai? Italian? Order in? When was the last time you two went out as a couple on the town? You see that? That's not good.
You know what you two need is a little Mr.
Velvet.
- Is that a sex thing? - No, it's not a sex thing, although No, no, no.
It's the hottest new hotspot in town.
Impossible to get a reservation unless you have connections and/or extensive hacking acumen, both of which I happen to have in spades.
There you go.
Table for two, 9:00 tonight.
Best seat in the house, too.
That's where Jay-Z and Beyoncé sat - the night they - Thank you, Rich, but, uh, we're good with take-out.
Also, I used your credit card to secure the reservation, so if you don't show up, they charge you 400 bucks for canceling, so bon appétit.
- Uh - Wow.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I don't know whether I should drink this or use it to recharge my cell phone.
Uh to us.
To us.
Someone zip me again so I can forget what that tastes like.
What were we thinking, taking life advice from Rich? Rich wasn't all wrong.
These cases have taken over our lives.
It's all my fault.
I should have never let Roman go.
It was a team decision not to take him down in Croatia.
We had to prioritize Crawford.
I'm not talking about Croatia.
If I hadn't let him go two years ago in DC, we wouldn't have a Roman problem right now.
If we'd got Roman in DC, then Crawford would still be calling the shots at the FBI through Hirst.
Besides, these new tattoos brought us back together after Colorado, didn't they? If you hadn't let Roman go then, we might not be together now.
That, uh That woman at the bar.
I'm I'm pretty sure I saw her outside of our apartment this morning.
How sure? 70%? She came in right after we did.
She's been nursing the same glass of wine for the last half hour.
Listen to me.
I can't even have a normal night out without getting suspicious of someone.
- It's what I love about you.
- Hmm.
She could be going to the bathroom.
No, the bathroom's that way.
That's the back exit.
Of course you would clock where all the exits are.
So, here's how I see it.
We either pursue that woman that might be casing us or we finish this lovely meal.
Check, please.
Okay.
So, I'll tail her out the back.
Okay.
I'll head out the front, double back and cut her off.
All right.
Kurt! Hey, sis, I'm afraid.
Kurt won't be coming to your rescue, as a team of highly trained assassins is currently killing him and the rest of your friends.
How long has Roman been flying around the world as "Tom Jakeman"? Roman has done a stellar job covering up his tracks.
I can't say for sure when he first stole the identity.
Maybe you can check the Australian military records.
I've checked his military records.
I've checked his driving records.
You'd be better off saving your goodwill at the Bureau for yourself.
Hirst hired you too, remember? You're next.
changes in his listening habits.
There's got to be a lead there.
We're just not gonna find it quickly.
Okay.
Let's all go home, get some rest, and regroup tomorrow in the morning.
- We've got a Millicent problem.
- We? She's gone from terrorizing me, trying to get me thrown back in jail, to terrorizing everybody in the office.
I think she's gettin' ready to clean house.
All those inquisitions are about me.
She's trying to undermine me, gather whatever dirt she can find on me.
That's great! That means she doesn't have anything on you unless she does and this is all part of some mind game to get you to slip up.
I'll tell you what.
I'll put on my Nancy Drew gown and do some snooping, see what she's got.
No, you will not.
Copy that.
It's not a code, Rich.
Under no circumstances are you to snoop for anything whatsoever.
- Are we clear? - Crystal.
You did not tell me to snoop.
- Rich.
- Fine! I won't snoop! - Or will I? - No, you will not, if you want to keep your job and stay out of prison.
This is my problem to take care of, and I will take care of it, all right? I'm guessing you'd like your conference room back, Assistant Director.
I'd actually like my building back.
The longer you're here, the more nervous people get, and you're starting to affect real FBI work.
This is real FBI work.
You want to talk to me, talk to me.
Leave my people out of it.
I'll get to you when I'm ready.
First, I need to find out what kind of leader you are, and in order to do that, I need to talk to as many people as possible, people like Jonathan West.
Oh, so now you're wasting the State Department's time, too.
Here's what I know you had an off-the-books meeting with Mr.
West, and after said meeting, Mr.
West personally requested a special considerations visa for an unnamed individual, and the day he pulled said request, he came here to see you.
My hands are tied.
I can't break the rules right now.
My guess you're protecting someone.
It's only a matter of time till I crack it, and when I do, you can bet I'll be talking to you.
Can't wait.
Taxi! Taxi! Ooh! Ah! Trying to steal my cab now, Assistant Director? Nope.
All yours.
Yes, it is, because I hailed it.
If you're heading home, I'm going in the same direction.
Which means you know where I live.
Which means it's cold out and I don't see any cabs around, so why don't we be grown-ups and share one? Okay.
Thank you.
Confession.
I sometimes use the parental control timer on my cell to force me to put the phone down.
A little tip I picked up from "The 700 Club.
" Do you watch "The 700 Club"? You know I'm just doing my job, right? Absolutely.
Despite what you may think, I'm not on a crusade against you.
It's my job to assume corruption exists everywhere until proven otherwise.
Just like the Constitution says Guilty until proven otherwise.
When the FBI goes unchecked, people like Hirst get into power and then they abuse that power.
We both want a corruption-free FBI.
I'm all for corruption-free.
That's not what this is.
This is about how your office dropped the ball on Hirst.
Everyone dropped the ball on Hirst.
It's not everyone's job to make sure people like her don't end up running the entire Bureau it's yours.
You're dogging me because you screwed up.
That is a gross misrepresentation.
And you know what? I'm not your target.
I'm your scapegoat.
This was a bad idea.
Here is fine.
Hey, babe, it's me.
I know you're working late, but give me a call back.
I'm sorry about earlier.
I was a little short with you.
I've just been super busy and I think I've been a little wedding planned out.
Um but I love the tablecloths you picked out and I think they're gonna look great.
Uh I love you.
Bye.
Yeah? Please don't let go of the button, please.
Millicent? I know you're not the happiest with me right now, but in my rush to get out of the cab, I forgot my purse, and my keys and my phone were in it.
I need to call a locksmith.
Can I please come up? Yes, it's on the Upper Westside.
Thank you.
Now, is that fee per lock or per job? Oh! No, no, no.
They say it's gonna be 45 minutes.
Okay, that's fine.
I'll be there.
Uh, 45 minutes? I can wait outside my apartment.
It's just cold.
All right, hold on.
Um, I can't let you loiter outside on a city block with no phone or keys in this weather, so you can wait here.
- Really? - Yeah.
I swear I won't be an imposition.
I don't mean to make people uncomfortable.
There's plenty of space here for the both of us.
I mean, at the office, but you're not wrong.
About? About OPR missing Hirst.
About me impeding cases.
I know the effect I have on people and, frankly, I hate it.
It kills me to think I'm hindering active investigations.
Does that mean you'll drop it? You know I can't do that.
But I can offer you a compromise.
An easy way to resolve this.
Resign.
I fail to see how me quitting when I did nothing wrong qualifies as a compromise.
Consider this a courtesy.
On my desk right now is a letter to the DOJ recommending you be suspended immediately and a criminal investigation opened.
Are you serious? Routine interviews only get so much.
Sometimes you need more ammunition.
Oh, so you already made your mind up about me without even interviewing me and now you're in my home, knowing that letter's on your desk? It's part of the process.
This is part of the process? Out of all the people you interviewed, did you get any complaints about me? - Well, no.
- Is the New York office excelling - under my leadership? - Yes, by many measures, - it appears you - Do you even have any evidence right now that I did anything illegal? If you haven't done anything illegal, then you've got nothing to worry about! You know damn well that even if it brings up nothing, a criminal investigation means the end of my career at the FBI.
You want to do me a real courtesy? You rip up that letter and you start fresh with me in the morning.
No preconceived notions, no scapegoating.
Just two people sitting down, having an honest, unbiased interview.
That's all I ask.
Excuse me.
Is that your restroom? - Yeah.
Door on the left.
- Fine.
It's Reade.
This is the NYPD liaison to the FBI, calling to inform you that we received a distress call involving Special Agent Zapata.
Where? When? She's currently under fire at Immaculate Conception Church.
Hey, Millicent, there's an emergency with my team.
I gotta go.
Millicent? Maybe you can check the Australian military records.
I've checked his military records.
I've checked his hospital records, school records, driving records.
I've even checked his Spotify account, looking for any changes in his listening habits.
There's got to be a lead there.
We're just not gonna find it quickly.
Okay.
Let's go home, get some rest, and regroup in the morning with some fresh eyes, all right? Yeah.
Hey, I'm still getting reimbursed for this, right? - Hey, Reade.
- Ooh.
Uno momento, por favor.
I know you saw what Reade just saw, but maybe let Uncle Richie deal with Agent Three-Piece on this one.
Wrong time for your games, Uncle Richie.
Ooh! I kind of like when you say it, but, uh, honestly, I think people around here might still be sore about the whole "I knew Borden was alive and didn't tell anybody about it" thing, so maybe now is not the best time to be offering one-on-one counseling.
- I wasn't - Okay, look.
When I was king of the dark web, between all the hangers-on and sycophants, I didn't know who my real friends were, but then I lost everything, went to jail, and finally found my people, but I pissed them off, too, pulled a real Zapata, and ended up the most hated man in Cell Block D.
Are you done? How did I get people to forgive me? That's an excellent question.
I didn't.
I ended up in solitary confinement, and when that got dull, I left.
I came here.
Never went back.
So, you want me to abandon everything - and start over somewhere else.
- No, no, no.
I just want you to realize things will go back to normal.
Just give it some time.
You know what? Maybe enjoy a little solitary of your own.
We've got a Millicent problem.
Tasha.
Alexis.
I almost didn't I I'll, uh, I'll go.
No, please.
My brother would be touched that you're here.
Yeah, well, I'm not so sure about that.
I am.
Who do you think left that flyer on your windshield? I thought it was a ticket.
Yeah, I should have given you one of those, too.
You still park like a cop.
How do you think Ricky would feel about you putting on that uniform? Probably the same way he felt about you putting on yours.
I just graduated from the academy.
I'm still doing field training.
I used to look up to you both so much.
Then you put on a uniform and escaped the neighborhood and, uh, Ricky put on gang colors and died here, so it's pretty clear whose footsteps I should follow.
Yeah, well, the only thing about escaping from somewhere is, it's, uh, - hard to get back.
- Come on.
It's starting.
Thanks to everyone who shared their memories of Ricky tonight.
All right, last call.
Anyone else want to say something? New Year's Eve, senior year, we were on our way to a party when Ricky leads me down this dead-end street and it was just us under one of those digital billboards, adding up the number of deaths from smoking this year.
Yeah.
I thought he had the wrong address.
I thought, this is so Ricky.
And we can hear people counting down to midnight in the distance, and I'm thinking, we missed it.
And then, when they get to one, Ricky turns to me and tells me to look up just as the billboard resets to zero, and then he turns to me and he says, "To new beginnings.
" Ricky took the least romantic spot in all of New York and made it special.
We never lasted long as a couple but we did as friends, until I'm so sorry, Ricky.
I knew you were in a bad place, and I stopped knowing how to be there for you.
I'm sorry I gave up on you.
I know what that feels like now, and it's not good.
I thought you might want to hang on to this.
The uniform suited you.
I don't think I recognize that girl anymore.
Hey, uh, any advice for a rookie cop? Yeah.
Make sure you join for the right reasons, 'cause the wrong ones don't end well.
Like? Down! 10-10, shots fired.
Officer in trouble.
Immaculate Conception Church.
Send assistance now! Requestor, please identify yourself.
This is Special Agent Tasha Zapata.
I'll run out, draw his fire, while you slide into position under the balcony and shoot up.
You want me to what? Shoot him while I distract him.
You can do this, Alexis.
This is what you've been training for.
On three, okay? One two three! Tasha, you okay? I've just been attacked.
Professional hit.
I barely got out alive.
Me, too, which means Which means the whole team could be in danger.
Any word on Patterson, Jane, or Weller? The last I saw Patterson, she was going to the Henning Culinary Center.
That's not far from me.
I'm heading there now.
Hey, you've reached Patterson.
Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Patterson.
Is that a break in the case? Uh, no.
No, it's nothing.
Oh, man, this shirt's ruined.
Well, you know what? It was worth it.
What is going on here? Did you steal clothes out of someone else's locker? Don't start, Rich, please.
Not tonight.
It's a compliment.
I'm saying you look nice for once.
- I have a date.
- Oh, my God! I I had no idea.
It's great.
I kind of assumed you'd closed up shop after, uh, "he who shall not be named.
" Borden.
I'm talking about Borden.
Thank you for that.
So, who's the new guy? I mean, you're getting dressed at work, so is it somebody from the office? Give me a hint.
Is it me? If I tell you, will you please stop talking? I don't see how I could promise that.
Okay.
It's Jack from Forensics.
Dr.
Izenberg? Oh, he's cute! He's like powder with hair and eyebrows.
- I think he has a podcast, too.
- Rich! Have you Facebook-stalked him yet? That's vital in today's dating climate.
Oh, my God.
You need to relax.
This is just a first date.
There's no such thing as "just a first date.
" You gotta take this seriously.
No second-guessing, no self-sabotage.
- I'm not doing any of that.
- Not yet.
But the second something gets sticky, you definitely will.
That's what happens when people are out of practice.
They get frustrated, they blame themselves, they make excuses, and then pfft! - Everything shuts down permanently.
- Whoa! This is the first first date of the rest of your life.
Promise me it won't be your last.
You are being so dramatic, okay? You do look really nice, by the way.
You're the worst.
Hey, you know, he works in Forensics, so maybe find a scent that matches - with formaldehyde? - Awesome.
- Hey! - Hey! You ready for some molecular gastronomy? Hells, yeah.
Using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream sign me up.
- I already did.
- Great.
They say the cream crystallizes so fast, so perfectly, it's the smoothest you'll ever taste.
Well, good, 'cause I hate rough ice cream.
Oh, tiny thing I got the Groupon back when I was with my ex, so if anyone asks, your name is Diane.
Good, good.
You want a nice, smooth consistency.
This is fun, right? Yeah, yeah.
You don't have to keep asking me that.
I'm having a very good time.
- Do you want to switch? - No.
I'm good.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Do you want to switch? Oh.
Only if you do.
- Uh, you know what? Let's switch.
- Okay.
And now it's time for the science.
Add the flavoring to the cream and then grab your gloves and your goggles.
Wait.
So, is it true that you have a podcast? - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah? It's about Bigfoot.
That's funny.
Oh.
- I'm so sorry.
You're serious.
- Yeah.
A buddy and I, we look at all the evidence and try to see where truth meets fiction.
But you're you're a scientist.
You sound just like Diane.
Now, one of you, slowly and evenly pour the liquid nitrogen into the mix while the other stirs.
- Okay, I'll - Here it comes.
Okay.
All righty.
Slowly.
I can't control it.
Well, no, I just I want to make sure I feel like you're pouring it a little bit too fast.
Can you stir a little faster? I want to make sure that the nitrogen You okay, Diane? Yeah, yeah.
Just peachy, thank you.
I'm gonna - Again, I'm so sorry.
- No, no, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
- If you want to go home - No, no, no, no, no.
It's just a stain.
We don't need to bail.
We can still I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Uh, is that Wizardville? Yeah.
I love that game.
Do you play? Uh, fun fact I'm not just a user.
Can I tell you a secret? - It's a little naughty.
- Okay.
I side-loaded it from a pirate site, got all the premium content for free.
I know.
I'm horrible.
Yeah, you're horrible.
Hundreds of people make their living off of that content.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let's Um, let's start from scratch.
Let's just reboot the date and something simple.
- Shall we go for a drink? - Yes.
Let's go for a drink.
- I don't drink.
- Then why would you say that? He's trying to kill us! Yeah.
Good observational skills, Jack! Okay.
He's reloading.
Let's move! - How many rounds do you have? - Uh You didn't bring your service weapon? Who brings a gun on a date? FBI agents, Jack, which we are! Here! Help me with this! What? What? What are you doing? You're filling the room with gas! That's what I'm trying to do.
I need something very small and battery-powered to act as a detonator.
Vape pen.
You vape? Hey, you've reached Patterson.
Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Patterson.
You got a signal? No.
Zapata.
He was trying to kill me.
I know.
Reade and I were just attacked, too.
- Jane and Weller? - I can't get ahold of 'em.
Okay.
Let's go home, get some rest, and regroup in the morning with some fresh eyes, all right? So, here's how I see it.
We either pursue that woman that might be casing us or we finish this lovely meal.
Check, please.
Okay.
So, I'll tail her out the back.
Okay.
I'll head out the front, double back and cut her off.
All right.
Oh, sorry.
Excuse me, sir.
Hey! Oh, God! Jane! Jane! Reade, someone's after us.
Jane and I were just attacked.
It's not just you and Jane.
It was good seeing you in Croatia.
Where is Kurt? Well, let's see.
Uh the assassin I hired to kill him has a thing for poison.
Or was Zapata's the poison guy? So many assassins, it's really hard to keep track.
- You were helping us.
- Plans change.
Why? Because the boss's daughter made eyes at you? Is that really all it takes to get you to abandon your last shred of goodness? You know, as it turns out, I'm in the market for a new family.
Remi's dead.
I got the chance to start over, and I chose this life, away from you.
Roman, you don't have to kill them.
Actually, I do.
Then why am I still alive? Why not kill me, too? Because that would be too easy.
You don't get to die until you witness everyone you love die first.
The assassins are a disparate band of mercenaries/hitmen who, as far as we can tell, haven't worked together prior to this job.
Which will make it that much harder to figure out who has Jane.
What about the woman who was sitting at the bar? Mr.
Velvet only had one camera facing the bar, and she never looked towards it, paid in cash.
She knew what she was doing.
Wait! Freeze that.
Zoom in.
Take a look at this guy taking a food selfie at the bar.
What about him? Are you hacking their reservation system? Okay.
Sitting at barstool five at that exact moment, Mr.
Ira Siegel.
Let's see if Ira Siegel has an Instagram account.
And aha! Wow! Even I'm impressed with me.
Very attracted to myself right now.
Running face detection.
That is a lot of aliases.
Yeah.
Let's see if any of them rented a white truck.
An eyewitness saw one leave the scene.
We find that truck, we find Jane.
You're not keeping me alive to make me suffer.
You're keeping me alive because you can't bring yourself to kill me.
You don't know what I can't do.
Actually, I do.
Because I was the same.
I couldn't kill you either.
Was.
You'd better hope we never meet again.
Well, then, I guess it's a good thing you're there and I'm here.
Yeah.
About that.
You really should have done this yourself.
Oh, yeah? Why is that? 'Cause you wouldn't have wired this monitor through the truck's main electrical system.
A replacement vehicle's on the way.
We should prep the cargo for transfer.
Kurt, is Avery okay? She's fine.
I spoke to her handlers.
No one's made a move on her.
Only our team was targeted.
We clearly struck a nerve with Crawford.
Which means, until we take down Crawford and Roman, we've got to be very careful.
All of us have got a bull's-eye on our back now.
Alexis.
Hey.
Hey.
Oh, uh, you forgot this.
You still don't recognize her? I guess I see a resemblance.
Uh, so before we got shot at, you were gonna give me some rookie advice.
Something about joining for the right reasons.
Look, you were right about me putting on the uniform to escape, but it didn't work.
I was still there.
Is that why you left the NYPD for the FBI? For starters.
If you can't go back, you gotta keep moving forward.
That was a really nice speech you gave about Ricky.
But you got one thing wrong.
He kept pushing us away, but you, you always came back.
Every time he got out of jail or rehab, you were there, even when no one else was.
You didn't give up on him, Tash.
He gave up on himself.
'Cause real friends, they always come back.
So, Millicent.
We should probably talk about that, right? There's nothing to talk about.
We had our differences, but she did not deserve what she got.
So, this would be a bad time to point out that her untimely death completely absolves you of any wrongdoing, right? Correct.
I'm not sure it does, anyway.
She'd already written a letter.
It's on her desk and it's probably gonna end my career.
- She told you that? - Yep.
And OPR is on their way to her office to gather her belongings now.
Yeah.
About that.
You know our little conversation from earlier about, uh, snooping? Rich, I told you not to snoop.
I don't know who told who what.
You looked through a dead woman's office? In my defense, I think she was still alive when I went in there.
I mean, the timeline's a little murky, but, uh, there's no letter.
What? Are you sure? I looked all over, hypothetically.
Maybe she was bluffing.
Hey, maybe she liked you after all.
'Cause on paper, we're such a great match.
Yeah.
The equation should balance.
Like two elements that should go together, but don't.
Yeah, or my math thing.
I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry.
This is This is actually a good thing.
In science, knowing what doesn't work is just as important as knowing what does.
Oh! You need to pay for Wizardville.
Like, immediately.
Thank you for coming to the cooking school.
If you hadn't Oh, that's You saved my ass plenty of times.
So, you and Jack Oh, yeah.
Uh No, that's definitely not a good fit.
Oh.
Well, if you ever want to talk Good night, Zapata.
What did your brother say in the truck other than he wants to kill all of us? He said he found a new family.
Do you believe him? Who knows, with Roman? I did realize one thing, though, when I thought you might be dead.
Roman's never getting away from me ever again.
Even if you had to kill him? Especially if I have to kill him.
Subcontractors.
Am I right? That's why I'm cutting out the middlemen.
Whoa.
Easy.
Stand down, soldier.
You are too close to Crawford.
If you get caught The FBI team is still out there.
Yes, and they are feeling the walls closing around them.
Crawford wants to move forward with his plans for the land we just secured.
