Babe, what are you doing?
- Ella!
- [GRUNTS] Did you have fun?
- Stop.
- With Kayla?
What? What are you talking about?
Oh, OK, so now you're
going to lie to my face.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- I went on your laptop.
I saw her text to you this morning.
- What?
- See you at 8:30, from Kayla DH.
Couple bitch-ass
smiley faces after that.
Yeah, Kayla DH.
DH. Dental hygienist.
I got my teeth cleaned this morning.
See? Look.

- You've reached
the dental office of
Carrington and Klein.
We're unavailable to
take your call right now.
If you can leave your name and number
and what you're calling about,
we'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Good morning, LA.
It's 7:30 a.m. and here's
your traffic update.
In fairness to her, my
high school girlfriend
is named Kayla, and
I hooked up with Kayla
a year ago at our reunion when
Ella and I were on a break.
So there's some context
that you're missing.
You know what? I have been
I have been waiting. I
have been biting my tongue.
But now now is the time.

Mitch, whenever I'm
going through, like, a
like a tough spot, like when I was going
through my divorce, right?
I would just I would rub
this coin, and I would think,
"You know what? I don't got it so bad.
I just got to keep on persevering."
What am I going to do with this?
You got to get out of
the relationship, OK?
You know you do. Ella knows.
And you're going to
hit some moments, right,
- where it won't be easy
- Mitchell, come in.
Go for Mitchell.
- Anything?
- Nothing yet, but we just got here.
I'm pulling you and the whole team.
We've got a mandatory briefing
on the new interdepartmental protocols.
HQ2, I'm telling you,
there's a pattern here.
- You just got to give us today.
- It's coming from upstairs.
Wrap it up and get back here.
You know, also, she's really
stressed out at work, man.
- [SIGHS]
- The AUSA kicked her case back
with a declination letter.
She put a year into
that thing. No results.
- Hmm. Mm-hmm.
- OK?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Is this our target?
That is her.
- And that's them. That's them.
- Yup.
We have eyes on subject,

We need that backup to return.
Just tail and monitor. Report back.

SUV is still following our target.
We're on the 101 south of Winnetka exit.
Requesting backup, air or vehicle.
On the 101?
The target lives in Calabasas, correct?
We'll notify the local police to keep
an eye on her home, which is
obviously where she's headed.
- Just tail and monitor.

What's the appeal?
Like, why stay in this so long?

I'm not good on my own.
I'm better when I'm around

Congrats on all your success.
You too.
I'm really sorry to
hear about Agent Brooks.
Uh, I just got an update.
It looks like he's out of the woods.
OK.
Glad to hear it.
Look, before we lock arms on this one,
I just want to clear
the air a little bit.
OK.
I know I didn't go
easy on you in Seattle,
and I know there was some
frustration on your end
regarding my methods, I guess.
So if there's any
animosity still lingering,
maybe we just put that aside
until the case is closed,
and I'm back stateside.
[SOFT MUSIC]
No animosity.
You helped make me the agent I am today.
Yeah, I may not have felt
the same way during training,

I'm grateful for how
you helped shape me.

Wow. The "I love me" wall.
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah. He's, um he's something.
Well, if he puts as
much effort into leading

decorating his office,
you guys are in good hands.

Great. Nice to meet you, Amanda.
You too.
♪
What's he like?
Well, if you ask ten different people
and I did you are going
to get ten different answers.
But each one of them will tell you
that he has a knack
for finding the thing,
whether it's the clue, the pattern,
the suspect, the motivation.
It's just a matter of,
how many pieces of china
is he going to break in pursuit of that?
What did he do pre-Bureau?
Ten years LAPD, so that factors in.
You know, it's like a lot
of cops who become agents.
He doesn't like waiting around.
He's less patient and methodical,
more rattling the cage.
Well, my job just got ten times harder.
Wait, hold up. Wes Mitchell?
Wasn't he front and center
at that standoff that went bad
- in Montrose, Colorado?
- Yeah.
He was cleared of all charges, though.
Eventually.
[DOOR CLICKS]
We're ready.
I was following a crew
doing strong-armed robberies
and home invasions,
starting in San Diego,
working their way up to Los Angeles.
These are brazen, violent
heists targeting jewelers
and private residences.
- The suspect Agent Mitchell shot
- Killed.
Shot and killed.
Correction the DOA
from the LA freeway heist
came from Budapest.
We pulled up similar
profiles of single men
flying from around that
time, and Agent Mitchell
was able to identify Vilmos Barany.
This is who shot Mike Brooks.
He flew from Budapest to San Diego
two days prior to Bako arriving in LA.
That looks like a tourism robbery crew.
Fly into the U.S., they pillage,
and then they fly back out by the time
American police figures out who did it.
Yeah, well, their luck has just run out.
First stop should be the embassy.
See how they got their visas.
Sounds good.
We're trying to determine how these two
may have known each other.
I have no idea.
It's not part of my job purview.
Right.
Well, then we'll need to
know of any other single men
between 18 to 35 who were also issued
a visa at around the
same time as those two.
I'll forward you everything I have.
Neither one had a criminal record.
The passport process
wasn't that complicated.
There were no red flags.
Isn't being single, no kids, low income,
and no owned property a
red flag in the visa game?
Are you perfect at your job?
Me neither.
Barany's mom lives in Budapest.
Thank you.
I haven't seen my son in weeks.
Why'd he travel to the U.S.?
He's going to trade
school to be plumber.
He wanted to see California beaches
and Hollywood stars before
he starts fixing toilets
for the rest of his life.
Do you know him?
No, never seen him.
How many times did your
son go to California?
- One time.
- He went twice.
That's a lot of money
for an aspiring plumber.
Mm, maybe in America,
21-year-olds still feed
at their mother's breast.
Not here. He's a man now.
He does what he wants.
Mrs. Barany, your son is wanted
for a very serious crime
he committed in the U.S.
We won't stop until we find him,
and people who prevent
us from doing that,
they get in trouble too.
America tries to bring
fake charges against people
far more important than my son.
Your country is good at that.
Leave me alone.
Barany's mom placed a call to a number
right after Andre and Smitty left.
That conversation lasted three seconds.
Then she got a call
from a blocked number,
and that conversation
lasted five minutes.
The three-second call was to
the New Chance Youth Center.
It's a place for underprivileged
kids in the Eighth District.
Barany and Bako were
both enrolled there.
Now, the center's founder
and main donor is Greg Csonka.
Former dual citizenship with the U.S.
Lived in Long Beach, California,
since he was two years old.
Long criminal history,
starting when he was 13.
Did five years for armed robbery.
U.S. citizenship revoked,
and he was deported
back to Hungary after
his prison stint was up.
- That was just a year ago.
- OK.
I'll forward everyone
Csonka's full sheet,
including residence
and known associates.
He's also part-owner of a
club in the Jewish Quarter.
[PHONE RINGING]
All right.
Let's dig in on this
dude and his youth center.
Hey, how's he doing?
He goes in for follow-up
surgery tomorrow.
Doctor wouldn't give
me a straight answer,
but you know how they are.
But no one seems to be panicking, so
- I'll keep a good thought.
I appreciate the update.
- Any leads on your end?
- Not yet.
Uh, putting some names to faces.
Possible involvement by a guy out here
who runs a center for troubled teens.
What could go wrong there, huh?
Yeah.
Listen, when I get home,
I want to work on things.
Get better as a couple.
100%. I love you.
I love you too.
I got to get back to work.
I'll talk to you soon. [SMOOCHES]

What have we got?
These two flew into
California three days prior
to Barany and Bako, and
they attended the same
- youth center here in Budapest.

contact with either one of them.

are in my pocket.
I believe you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Nice to meet you.
Sorry about that.
We've had some threats
against us lately.
Jeez. Uh, what kind of threats?
Some young men who attended
the center were asked to leave.
They didn't take it well.
They fell back on old
problem-solving techniques,
- on violence and intimidation.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, those two.
We're looking for these
guys. You know why?
I've heard rumors.
There was some craziness
back in the States.
Yeah, something like that.
Barany's mom, she
called here two minutes
after a couple of
agents went to her house.
Yeah, she was looking for Vilmos.
I basically told her
what I just told you.
I read your criminal
report from back in the U.S.
I'm sure you did.
You know, a cynic might suggest
this is the perfect place to recruit
a couple of misguided young men,
turn them into a robbery crew.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, there's nothing
I can do about my past,
or how people view me because of it,
but the truth is
and this is me telling you man-to-man
since I've been out,
I've devoted my life
to helping at-risk
youth here in Budapest.
Hey, it's a noble cause.
- I'd like to think so.
- Yeah.
So you got, like, a bake
sale going or something?
- 'Cause I'd love to contribute.

No, we got it covered.

Are you sure you're not a cop?

I can always spot a cop.
I can always spot a convict.

Yeah.
All right. I'll see you around.
No need.
I told you all I know.
Then farewell it is.
♪
So you think he's our guy?
Absolutely.
And why did you go
solo, without telling us?
It was an informal visit.
And if Csonka is involved in any way,
then I want him to know
he's being looked at
sooner rather than later.
That's not how it works on the Fly Team.
OK, how does it work on the Fly Team?
Working internationally is hard enough.
A rogue move like the one you pulled
is how this team gets
disbanded and sent home.
And as Europol liaison,
it is my responsibility
to ensure that everyone operates
within the guidelines and boundaries
that have been set forth.
If you would like to
investigate this solo,
I suggest you put in for
your PI license, have a go.
British?
Well, I just want to make sure,
because I met an Irish guy once,
and I called him British,
and he just about broke a
beer mug over my head, so
- British.
- OK.
My motto happens to be the same
as the British Special Air Service's.
Do you know what it is?
- "Who Dares Wins."
- Yeah!
Besides, Megan, by the
time any paperwork about me
hits your desk, I'm
going to be back in LA.
I'll be out of your hair.
We got something.
Is this a good time?
Yes.
Uh, we did a deeper
dive on Barany and Bako.
Both had criminal records,
which should have negated their ability
to get tourist visas to the U.S.
Consequently, we looked
at Darlene Simonds,
head of Consular Affairs,
who facilitated their visas.
Two months ago, she paid 200,000 euros
for a villa in Cyprus
all cash transaction.
She's on the payroll. Let's go see her.
Csonka's psych report from
prison is a pretty good read.
- Mm.
- He was diagnosed with
intermittent explosive disorder.
Multiple incidents where
he completely lost control,
triggered by the slightest provocation.
Reacted aggressively and impulsively
if he felt threatened or cornered.
Mm-hmm.
And pattern of making rash
decisions under pressure.
- No way.
- What?
He was at Central Juvenile Hall in 2004.
It's in Lincoln Heights.
I was there in '98 and '99.
You had to be on your toes in Central.
[DOOR CLICKS]
Sorry, Darlene went home early today.

Thank you.
Bloody hell!
♪
Eyes are bloodshot.
No vomit or foaming around the mouth,
which there would be if she OD'd.
And she's holding an empty pill bottle.
She was smothered first.
Whoever killed her tried to
stage it like an overdose.
♪
And we got to, uh, pour heavy.
More bottles, more money.
You know, sell some
drinks, sell some bottles.
All right, get out of here.
You know, we're not open yet,
and you have no right to be here.
Oh, I greased your guy at the door.
He said we're good.
Can I catch you up to speed?
I'm asking you to leave.
The consular officer was killed.
Maybe you heard a rumor about that one.
She handled the visa interviews
for Bako and Barany personally.
The theory is she was
wiping criminal records
off their applications
in exchange for cash.
- Mm.
- Yeah.
Now, this next part is going
to affect you personally.
The death of an American
government employee,
regardless of her lack of ethics,
is going to put this whole thing
under a magnifying glass.
Well, I don't know anything about it.
Now I'm asking you to
leave. Second time now.
OK, so I read in your prison jacket
that you cooperated with law enforcement
for a lesser sentence.
I'm not going to break
your balls or anything,
you know, call you a snitch,
'cause I know my job is
a hell of a lot easier
when I'm working with
a reliable informant.
That's what matters.
So since you bent over for
the government once before,
you're more than welcome
to cooperate again.
Barany recruited some young
men from the youth center.
- He's behind all this.
- Mm.
All right, my life is in danger,
and so is the life of anyone else
who gets in his way.
So that intel is worth, like, 5 bucks.
The real money is in you telling me
about your involvement,
because I don't believe
for a second you're not
the one pulling the strings.
[SHOUTING] I want you out
of my bar right now, OK?
Unclog your ears, cop.
- What are you gonna do?
- Wes.
All right, take a walk, or I
Or what?
- Wes.
- Do it right now.
- Let's go.
- Hold on. He's having a moment.
Hmm?
Yeah.
Why don't you listen to
your sidepiece over there?
♪
- So what do we got?
- OK.
So Csonka keeps claiming
Barany is behind it, right?
Which means he's serving
him up as the fall guy.
But there's no way he
expects Barany to hold his mud
in a police interrogation,
so that means Barany
is either dead or dying,
or he's about to be killed.
No way Csonka lets this kid
live to tell his version.
LA field office raided a warehouse
in Sylmar, California
and found stolen goods
traced back to the robbery
crew worth around $450,000.
Even if they moved it
into an offshore account,
any transaction over
$10,000 would get flagged.
- So what's your theory?
- Remittances.
Migrants use them to
send money back home,
but it's also an easy way to move funds
through unofficial channels.
So how do we determine if someone
received the cash on this end?
If I can track down the
money transfer agency
that they used in the States,
I can match the transaction pattern
to funds coming into Budapest.
How long is that going to take?
I'm not sure.
These agencies are pretty unofficial.
We're talking about corner shops
- and currency exchanges.
- Doesn't matter.
- Let's get started.
- That was the HNP.
They have some info to share on Csonka,
requesting our presence.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Hello,
and, uh, thanks for coming over.
Detective Ambrus, thanks for having us.
Mitchell.
And Greg Csonka, we were told
you had an update about him?
We've been looking into Mr. Csonka,
but nothing actionable so far.
Then why would you call us down here?
You've been surveilling Csonka
without proper authorization
from our judiciary.
A court order is
required for surveillance.
Personal privacy is protected
under the Hungarian Fundamental Law.
Detective Ambrus, the Fly
has worked with your department
in Budapest for a while
Leave Csonka alone unless you go through
the proper channels first.
This is a one-time warning.
OK, so you have a very violent ex-con
living in your city who's turning out
some very vulnerable young men
to do his criminal activities for him.
Two Hungarians that we
know of, likely more,
are part of a robbery crew
that went on a very violent
crime spree in California,
where my partner,
Agent Mike Brooks, is
still in the hospital
because of a bullet that he took
from one of those Hungarians.
These are facts, these things happened,
and you're warning me?
I am absolutely warning you.

Who do we know above him? Anybody?
Because I'm sure it works
the same way out here
like it does back home.

whoever has a bigger hammer.
You get that dude to fall in line.
You can't just big-dog
it in Europe, Wes.
You have to listen to me, and
you have to listen to Smitty.
Wes, there are a different
set of rules out here,
and you won't make it
unless you wrap your head
around that, OK?
We can still be effective, and
we can still get the bad guy,
but our partners out here,
they have to be respected.
And if you don't respect them,
then they at least have to be finessed.
Period.
OK.
I trust you.

OK.
The case we're working
is the one Agent Brooks
died trying to solve.
Tomorrow morning, LA field
office will hold a ceremony,
and he'll be installed
in the Hall of Honor.
We'll be dialed in from
the conference room,
if any of you want to attend.
Until then, let's make
sure we support each other.
Stay focused.
Agent Brooks would want
us to keep pushing forward
and bring whoever did this to justice.
We owe that to him.
Amanda, you guys got something?
Yeah.
Uh, we were able to track
down the money transfer agency
that the operation used in LA.
There were over a hundred
outgoing remittances,
all with falsified sender information,
and their last big transfer
before this totaled up to $250,000.
The money was transferred
to a dozen different
accounts here in Budapest.
And each account was
emptied out just before
it hit the CTR threshold at $10,000.
Who's picking up the cash?
We're still waiting on positive IDs,
but, uh, this woman came
in three separate times.
Barany's mother.
I am a simple woman. I
don't know what's going on.
We're not buying this act.
You understand we have you on video
withdrawing money for
Csonka. You're involved.
I took out small amount of money.
For that, I get 30,000 forint.
I have barely enough to live.
I can't turn that kind of money down.
The money that you withdrew,
you gave it to Csonka?
To a man who works for him, I guess.
I don't know. I don't
ask these questions.
Where's your son now? Where's Vilmos?
I can't. I can't.
If they find out I talk to police
Lady, put that down and look at me.
Your son is in a world of hurt.
The agent that he shot back
in California, he's dead.
And now there's not a rock on
this planet he can hide under.
We will find him,
and you better hope we
do before Csonka does.
Csonka is pinning the
whole thing on Vilmos.
But that's not true.
We spoke with someone
at the U.S. embassy
who was involved, and she
was dead a few hours later.
He's taking out everyone
who was mixed up in this.

you've been grabbed up?
Do you want me to answer that for you?
I joined that youth center

Csonka took me under his wing

OK.
The case we're working
is the one Agent Brooks
died trying to solve.
Tomorrow morning, LA field
office will hold a ceremony,
and he'll be installed
in the Hall of Honor.
We'll be dialed in from
the conference room,
if any of you want to attend.
Until then, let's make
sure we support each other.
Stay focused.
Agent Brooks would want
us to keep pushing forward
and bring whoever did this to justice.
We owe that to him.
Amanda, you guys got something?
Yeah.
Uh, we were able to track
down the money transfer agency
that the operation used in LA.
There were over a hundred
outgoing remittances,
all with falsified sender information,
and their last big transfer
before this totaled up to $250,000.
The money was transferred
to a dozen different
accounts here in Budapest.
And each account was
emptied out just before
it hit the CTR threshold at $10,000.
Who's picking up the cash?
We're still waiting on positive IDs,
but, uh, this woman came
in three separate times.
Barany's mother.
I am a simple woman. I
don't know what's going on.
We're not buying this act.
You understand we have you on video
withdrawing money for
Csonka. You're involved.
I took out small amount of money.
For that, I get 30,000 forint.
I have barely enough to live.
I can't turn that kind of money down.
The money that you withdrew,
you gave it to Csonka?
To a man who works for him, I guess.
I don't know. I don't
ask these questions.
Where's your son now? Where's Vilmos?
I can't. I can't.
If they find out I talk to police
Lady, put that down and look at me.
Your son is in a world of hurt.
The agent that he shot back
in California, he's dead.
And now there's not a rock on
this planet he can hide under.
We will find him,
and you better hope we
do before Csonka does.
Csonka is pinning the
whole thing on Vilmos.
But that's not true.
We spoke with someone
at the U.S. embassy
who was involved, and she
was dead a few hours later.
He's taking out everyone
who was mixed up in this.
[EXHALES]
Is Vilmos in hiding?
You have to tell us where he is,
or he will be dead soon.

Your mom is safe at the HNP.
You know, she saved your
life by cooperating with us.
Are you going to return the favor?
Well, we can easily
keep you here in custody
and release her, if
that's what you want.
And do you really think
she is safe out there alone,
once Csonka finds out that
you've been grabbed up?
Do you want me to answer that for you?
I joined that youth center
to get my life on track.
Csonka took me under his wing
and made all these promises,
but pretty soon, I owed him.
What happened in Los Angeles,
what happened with my life,
it's not what I wanted for myself.
I know what you must think of me.
I can tell. I can see it in your eyes.
But I am not that person.
Whatever happens to me, I
want people to know that.
Who's in charge of this whole operation?
Csonka.
He recruited boys from his youth center,
and an old prison buddy from California
took care of things on that end.
Where are the other two
that flew out to California?
Dead.
That's what I heard.
Csonka had them silenced
when they got back
because we screwed
up and got identified.
That's why I disappeared
as soon as we landed.
I knew that would happen.
I knew that he would try to kill me too.
Do you believe me?
Do you believe me when I tell you
I'm not this person?
Sure.

Uh, work on my short game,
head back for Mike's memorial,

You know, you gave me
some great advice one time.
It was back in Seattle, and you said,
"You can make your own plan
or be a part of someone else's plan."
I read that on a teabag.

Well, regardless, you know,
maybe it's time for a change.
What would that change look like?
You run the Fly Team.
Look, McKintrick is on the
wine and cheese circuit.
I have nothing to learn from him,
and I'm not on this job to dick around.
What we do out here really matters.
The people on this
team, they really matter.
And I want to hunt the bad guys,
not a great bottle of pinot noir
and another photo for my wall.
Why didn't you put in
for the job yourself?
Because I am not GS-14 and
supervisory special agent.
Yet.
But you are.
And besides, I still
love being a case agent.
Yes, one day I will transition
to management, but not today.
Look, we can call
International Operations
at Hoover and ask for you to
be directly placed into the job.
It can be that easy.

And I love that you still
