NCIS:New Orleans 4x06 Acceptable Loss Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
LASALLE: Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I under No, sir.
I'll do my best.
I got to let you go.
I'm at work.
Okay.
Good-bye.
That didn't sound so good.
Was that NCIS HQ? You in trouble or something? It wasn't HQ.
It was my father.
You talk to your father like that? Like what? "Yes, sir.
No, sir.
" Yes, ma'am.
Must be a Southern thing.
Well, it's a respect thing.
All right.
How do you talk to your parents? We're Italian.
There's a lot of yelling.
Well, Lasalles don't yell at their parents.
Fair enough.
What's up with Dad? Uh, he's in town.
Wants to have dinner.
That's nice.
Spend some quality time.
Well, you don't know my father.
We don't exactly see eye to eye.
Oh, yeah? Like, on what? Anything.
Hey, they're here.
Hey.
Hey.
Victim's Petty Officer Sam Segar.
Electronics tech.
Here for advanced training at Belle Chasse.
Cleaning lady found him this morning.
What is this? A union coffee break? Ah, kicked everybody out.
Too many comments.
Gruesome in there? Not exactly.
What is it? (camera clicking) WADE: Autoerotic asphyxiation.
Can't say I haven't seen it before.
And based on the faded bruising on our victim's neck, it wasn't a first time for him, either.
It is for me.
Out of curiosity, what's this mirror for? Oh, it's so that he could watch himself while he, uh you know.
It's pretty common for the choke and choke set.
Sebastian.
Really? Sorry.
We're looking at an accident, then? SEBASTIAN: Well, this is an emergency knot.
It's supposed to be easy to reach and fashioned for a quick release in case you find yourself passing out.
But this is placed on his back, and it's bound way too tightly.
You seem to know a lot about this, Sebastian.
Should we be concerned? Yes.
No.
I mean, no, you shouldn't be concerned.
Yes, I know a lot about AEA.
I was just I was a big INXS fan as a kid.
When Michael Hutchence died, I just dealt with my trauma through intense research.
Fell down a real rabbit hole.
So, we're thinking it's suspicious? Hutchence's death was totally suspicious.
I mean, I wrote a whole high school term Sebastian.
He's talking about Petty Officer Segar's death.
I know that.
Now.
The scene's been staged to look like Petty Officer Segar was alone, but someone else tied these knots.
Some kind of sex play gone wrong? If so, somebody cleaned up really well.
I'm not finding any biologicals apart from the victim's.
There may be traces on the body, though.
Can we get the poor kid down now and find out? We need to know who else was in this room and why they fled.
Sam Segar was born in Detroit, raised in foster care until he joined the Navy.
Multiple deployments over the years.
Arrived in New Orleans a month ago.
According to his C.
O.
, he's got a spotless record.
He's new to the unit, but he gets along good with the other sailors.
Now, his next of kin is Lieutenant Commander Nolan Willis.
No actual relation.
You know, I'm having a hell of a time getting in contact with him.
He's on some mission in San Antonio.
Something classified.
Navy's reaching out on our behalf.
What about his personal life? Not much of one.
Charges on his credit card are for takeout food and a couple of websites I've never even heard of.
That's because it's a specialty site connecting people interested in dangling and mangling.
Am I the only one not up on these euphemisms? No.
No.
I took a deep dive into Segar's browser history.
He was in contact with one woman in particular: Lady Edgeplay 22.
What kind of contact? Full kind.
Lot of flirting and foreplay.
Whoever she is, she worked hard to get his attention.
And it paid off.
They made plans to meet up.
PRIDE: Could be the suspect we're looking for.
What else can you tell us? Nothing.
Her contact info was scrubbed from the chat room.
I took a look into Segar's phone.
I found evidence of deleted pictures.
I thought you said no one can actually delete anything from their phone.
No normal person.
Baby got skills.
Them pictures are gone.
She's technically sophisticated, worked hard to get his attention, and then completely covered her tracks.
Got to be a reason why.
(phone rings) It's a shame you can't recover any of that information she deleted, Patton.
Don't sweat it.
I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
(phone rings) You need to get that? Uh, definitely not.
Okay.
Get in contact with the sailors in Segar's unit.
(phone ringing) If he met a woman, he might have talked about her.
(phone continues ringing) You don't answer that, your dad's gonna just keep on calling.
How did you? All the years we worked together, I know what it looks like when you're ducking family.
(ringing stops) It's all good.
See? What's he want? Dinner.
So go.
Gregorio and Percy can handle Belle Chasse.
No, no.
He wants to have a, uh, talk.
About what? I don't know.
That's what I'm worried about.
Eat with your father.
Hear him out.
Is that what you would do with your father? (chuckles): Absolutely not.
But be smarter than me.
Look it here.
Perfectly fine piece of meat ruined by all this glop.
It's béarnaise sauce, and it's the house specialty.
You should at least taste it.
Christopher, you with me here? Oh, yes, sir.
Just checking in.
How are things back home? I already told you.
They're fine.
And your mama's fine, too.
And before you get into football, we all have a lot of faith in Alabama this year.
Now, small talk's done.
Let's get down to it.
How long you gonna be doing this? Putting the phone away now, sir.
Not the phone, Christopher.
This job of yours.
My career.
No.
A career is something that you build.
Something that makes a contribution to the world.
Been more than patient with you.
For more than ten years, actually.
But time's up.
Uh, what is that? Contract.
Makes you sole proprietor and chief executive of Lasalle Enterprises.
That's your job.
For now.
But I'm not gonna be around forever.
Got to plan for the future.
I'm honored, but, uh I can't take the company.
It's a family business.
Last I heard, you're part of the family.
Yeah, but I got a life here.
(laughs) I'm sorry.
You got a car payment and a rental lease.
That's not a life.
Cade can't take care of himself, let alone the business.
Your mama's not getting any younger.
My sister, your cousins, I take care of all them.
When I'm gone, you're who's left.
Last in the line, Christopher.
I don't know anything about the oil business.
Then you better learn.
It's time for you to step up and take responsibility.
Your family needs you.
Sir I'm done talking about it.
Eat your steak.
SONJA: We interviewed everyone at Belle Chasse who had contact with Petty Officer Segar.
He never mentioned a girl to them.
Never mentioned anything about his private life.
I figured he'd keep his proclivities to himself.
It's probably smart for his career.
Yeah, but it doesn't make it any easier for us to track down this mystery woman of his.
PATTON: Easy is for chumps.
We thrive on the impossible.
Our mystery woman is a mystery no longer.
Meet Chloe Miles, Segar's playmate in the chat room.
SONJA: Wait, you were able to un-delete the photos from his phone? Oh, no.
We had to step our game up a notch.
Hacked into her shadow profile.
What's a shadow profile? It's whenever you give a program permission to access the photos on your phone, you're actually allowing it to access all your data.
And they store that information on a server.
They got a little something extra on everybody.
What can you tell us about Chloe Miles? She's a real person, for one.
Uh, she's not an alias or a bot created online.
She met with Segar in public a few times.
That's where these first photos came from.
PATTON: And the final photos were taken last night at his apartment.
Proves they were together before he was killed.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, and it gets even scarier.
This isn't her first time.
We found photos connecting Chloe to three other men.
Each of them were involved in some type of Internet subculture.
Each one of them died under mysterious circumstances.
This is more than a coincidence.
Yeah, the pattern's the same.
Each of the three victims had no trace of Chloe in their social media, but her shadow profile puts them together hours before their deaths.
PRIDE: I've heard enough.
You got an address for her? Windsor Court Hotel, room 503.
Federal agents! Open the door! (lock beeps, clicks) (shower running) You in the shower, hands up now.
Put your hands where we can see them.
Now! (shower turns off) Do you really want me to put my hands up? You met Petty Officer Segar online in a chat room specializing in sexual fetishes? It's possible.
This is correspondence between you, making arrangements to meet.
This is a correspondence between someone named Lady Edgeplay 22.
- Your screen name.
- It could be.
You were with Segar last night in his apartment, hours before he was found dead.
If you say so.
Well, this photo says so, Ms.
Miles.
And it wasn't easy finding it, considering someone had scrubbed any sign of you from his phone or computer.
I don't know what your point is.
My point is Segar died of asphyxiation in what was made to look like a sex game gone wrong.
Unless, of course, it simply was a sex game gone wrong.
Is that what you're saying it was? I couldn't tell you.
I don't know.
What about Taylor Cotton? Outdoorsman.
You met him in another chat room.
Invited him to go backpacking with you in the Rockies.
He drowned in the hot springs.
That sounds awful.
There are others.
Jackson Holt in Hawaii.
Kevin Chung outside Seattle.
All met similar ends after making contact with you.
Okay, I admit it.
I'm a travel writer.
I move around the country.
I meet a lot of people.
Do I remember them all? No.
But that's not a crime.
The crime is their murders.
You just said they died accidentally.
I said their deaths were made to look like accidents.
GREGORIO: Hey.
You, uh, survived Dad? LASALLE: Yeah.
Though I'm wondering why y'all didn't reach out to me after you, uh, arrested Chloe Miles last night.
Because you were busy at dinner.
And last I heard, I'm still part of the investigation.
Oh, take it easy, cowboy.
Nobody's cutting you out of anything, okay? We just figured four agents were enough to take care of one woman.
Though, maybe we were wrong.
Pride hasn't gotten a confession yet? Nope, and I don't think he's gonna.
Saying she's innocent? I-I don't know.
There's something about this girl.
Something's off.
Well, you're the profiler, Gregorio.
What doesn't add up? Other than the many coincidences, I don't know.
Like she's gone over this in her head a million times.
Her reactions are too well-timed.
That doesn't sound like enough for an arrest warrant.
No.
But Pride's not done yet.
You're awfully calm for someone being accused of four murders.
I guess I'd be more nervous if I had anything to hide.
Or you had any evidence.
You're looking at the evidence.
No.
I'm looking at photos.
There's something else.
Medical examiner found foreign DNA on Segar's body.
Since you got, uh, nothing to hide, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I swab your DNA? Be my guest, Agent Pride.
SEBASTIAN: The DNA we found on Segar's body does not match Chloe's.
You're kidding.
Whose DNA is it? No one's at the moment.
It's not coming up in any of the standard searches.
I'm expanding to more classified databases, but I'm not optimistic.
Everything in me says she's our killer.
Yeah, but we don't have anything on her.
Maybe we could keep her for another day.
Keep trying to break her down.
No, that woman's not gonna break.
Gregorio, escort her back to her hotel, keep an eye on her.
We'll figure out another way to take her down.
If we can't get her to talk, we got to focus on the victims.
Percy and Patton have been trying to get more details, find a connection between them.
What if there is no connection? What if all these murders are just random? If I know one thing from sitting across from Chloe Miles, she doesn't do anything randomly.
PATTON: Four male victims from different parts of the country, age, ethnic background.
LASALLE: And seemingly only one thing in common: Chloe Miles.
Actually, there's something else.
The three other victims, Taylor Cotton, Jackson Holt and Kevin Chung had top secret security clearances.
Well, nothing in their files suggested they worked for the government.
Not officially, but each one was a contractor for either the NSA, the CIA or the DIA.
That changes everything.
MICE.
Where? SEBASTIAN: No, uh It's an acronym that FLETC taught us.
It's the four motives for stealing secrets.
Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego.
Oh, we know she had a ego going for her.
So, Chloe is some sort of spy.
Getting close enough to these contractors to steal Intel and kill them.
Yeah, except Petty Officer Segar doesn't fit the pattern.
He was a electronics tech.
Didn't no special clearance, no access to Intel.
Chloe had a reason to go after him.
Maybe it was geography.
Three contractors in Colorado, Washington state, and Hawaii.
All three have NSA outposts.
But New Orleans doesn't.
I mean, the closest NSA station is San Antonio.
Mm, San Antonio.
Segar's next of kin, Lieutenant Commander Willis, is on mission in San Antonio.
Something classified.
Navy wouldn't even give me his direct contact.
Just like these other victims.
(cell phone chiming) It's Wade.
She might have something.
I'm running a check on Willis right now.
Zero presence on social media and I can't even find a picture on him.
Well, suggests he's way up the food chain.
SEBASTIAN: So, Chloe kills Petty Officer Segar to what? To draw Willis out? SONJA: And it looks like it worked.
According to Wade, Commander Willis just arrived in New Orleans to make arrangements for Segar's body.
WILLIS: When I got the call, I just couldn't believe it.
Sam and I grew up together in the foster system.
The closest thing either one of us had to family.
We're very sorry for your loss, Commander.
Nobody will tell me anything about how this happened.
Do you recognize this woman? No.
Chloe Miles.
We believe she murdered Petty Officer Segar and tried to make it look like an accident.
Why would she kill Sam? LASALLE: We've connected her to three other mysterious deaths.
Each victim working for the government with top secret clearance.
Sam wasn't involved in intelligence.
PRIDE: No, we think she targeted him to get to you.
The other victims, Taylor Cotton, Jackson Holt, Kevin Chung.
Any of those names sound familiar? Look, I'm detached to DOJ legal counsel right now.
I have review privileges on dozens of operations.
There's hundreds of personnel involved.
Even if I did recognize those names, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you.
DoD is in the process of reading us in on all their assignments.
PRIDE: We're gonna need you to do the same.
Come to NCIS.
Help us sort this out.
Please.
Yeah, I I'll put in a call to my commanding officer, but I need to be free tonight to pay my respects to Sam.
What's happening tonight? Memorial service being held by his unit.
I'll be the only family there.
If Chloe killed Segar to draw Willis out, the memorial service is the best place for her to make contact with him.
We could set up a sting.
Send Willis in wired, catch her in the act.
She killed four men in the last six months.
Too risky putting him in harm's way.
All right, so we don't put him in.
Willis has been scrubbed out the Internet.
Chloe doesn't have a clue what he looks like.
You mean send in a ringer? Who, Christopher? She's been to NCIS.
She's seen us.
Not me.
I was at dinner with my father.
No.
No, you have no idea how much she knows about Willis.
There's no time to prepare you.
Look, I'll wear an earwig.
All right, Willis can listen in.
We'll make it work.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm worried your head's not in the game.
You're too distracted.
You (cell phone rings) Case in point.
What? My father? (scoffs) Come on.
Yeah, he's a pain in the rear end, for sure, but I got my eye on the ball here, all right? I want to catch this girl before she kills again.
Unless she kills you, too.
Which, I must admit, she's quite skilled at.
This woman is extremely dangerous.
LASALLE: She caught those men by surprise.
All right? I'll be going in knowing what I'm dealing with.
Unless you don't.
These toxicology reports suggest all four of our victims were dosed with Succinylcholine.
It's a paralytic.
Mossad uses it in assassinations.
So I won't let her inject me.
What about the unidentified DNA on Segar's body? Chloe may have an accomplice.
I'll be at a memorial service.
We'll have backup there.
King, this is what we do.
Plus, it's not like we got a lot of options.
(somber jazz music playing) LASALLE: All right, I'm in.
See a lot of uniforms, but no sign of Chloe.
Gregorio and Sonja said she left the hotel 20 minutes ago.
Parked down the street.
GREGORIO: She's got to be inside.
We saw her go in.
SONJA: Yeah, and if we're right, she'll find you.
I'll make my way to the bar.
Try to blend in.
PATTON: Don't blend in too much.
Got to keep your wits around this girl.
Already got a father in town, Patton.
Thanks for the advice.
Ooh.
Hey.
CHLOE: I am so sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
I-I feel so awful.
Let me pay for your dry cleaning.
It's the least I can do.
Oh, how about buying me a drink instead? Well, the-the drinks are-are free here.
Then it's your lucky night, Miss Chloe Miles.
You're Commander Willis, Sam's older brother.
Wow, I have heard so much about you.
Call me Nolan.
CHLOE: Well, let's get that drink, Nolan.
Target's engaged.
Lasalle's just got to get her on the hook.
Yeah, and now we just need him to reel her in before she takes him out.
I'm glad to meet you, Nolan.
Nobody here really knew Sam.
It's good to have someone to talk to about him.
You and Sam were? Friends.
Oh, he never mentioned me? No.
I'm sorry.
I've been busy, though, and we haven't talked in a while.
Oh, that's okay.
We were just getting to know each other.
He sure talked about you.
Looking out for him the way you did growing up (laughs) How much he idolized you It's so special.
The way she turns on the sweetness and vulnerability, you'd never know she killed four men.
Can't decide if I'm impressed or terrified.
PRIDE: Stay focused there.
Mm-hmm.
Anything goes wrong, you're Lasalle's last line of defense.
He was the closest thing I had to family.
We looked out for each other.
"Partners in crime" is how he put it.
(chuckles) Well, from everything he told me, you were a good big brother.
Yeah, not good enough.
Wish I was here when he needed me most.
CHLOE: There's no worse feeling in the world.
Knowing somebody you love died alone.
Sounds like you got experience with it.
You lose a sibling, too? My father.
LASALLE: I'm sorry.
What happened? This isn't about me.
Tonight is about Sam.
Come on.
Let's do another round.
We can toast to him.
You got all that about her father, right? PRIDE: Could be a play for sympathy or she could be telling us the truth.
Either way, she wants you to ask her about it.
Let's see where she's taking us.
And remember, Christopher, don't trust anything she says.
I'm all over it, King.
Here you go.
Thank you.
To Sam.
One of the good ones.
GREGORIO: Be careful of that next drink.
Yeah, no idea what she dosed it with.
GREGORIO: Yeah.
To Sam.
SEBASTIAN: Pride, you got a moment? Lasalle's dad's here.
Great timing, right? Keep a close eye on Christopher.
Mr.
Lasalle.
I'm Dwayne Pride.
Pleasure to finally get to meet you.
Where's Christopher? I been calling him all day.
Yeah, um, I'm afraid he's tied up at the moment.
What's he doing? Unfortunately, I can't tell you.
And I need to get back to it myself.
- But I will let him know - I get it.
Y'all cover each other's backs while he tries to avoid his father.
Actually, he's working a case.
If he could be here He still wouldn't.
I know my son.
Though probably not as well as you do these days.
Like I said, we are a little busy around here at the moment.
This is Christopher's desk, right? (scoffs) Ten years, and this is the culmination of his career.
Christopher is great at his job.
Well, he certainly spends enough time doing it.
Do you know how many holidays he's missed over the years? Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmases.
Because he was here.
We're like a family.
"Like a family" is not the same as an actual family.
A wife, children.
You know what I'm talking about? I do.
I have a daughter.
And what do you want for her, Mr.
Pride? You want her in a job with no future? Risking her life, never coming home.
I want her to be happy.
I want my son to grow up, take responsibility, make something of himself.
But I don't have the influence over him that you do.
You know Christopher makes his own choices.
And for the record, he's one of the best agents I've ever worked with.
He makes a difference every day he wears the badge.
I wouldn't know.
He never talks to me about it.
If you see my son, tell him I was here.
CHLOE: It wasn't a normal childhood.
I was a military brat, so we moved around a lot.
My dad was all I had.
No mom? No, she died when I was a baby.
Then my dad, he got a new job working for the government.
Started traveling alone.
What kind of job? Well, Nolan I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Oh.
That kind of job.
You're familiar with it? I could tell you, but Oh.
No.
Fair enough.
We need information on Chloe's dad, and we need it fast.
Got it.
Captain James Miles, former Air Force helicopter pilot.
You ever hear of this guy? No, but I'll look into it.
Then go.
Yeah, yeah.
CHLOE: Dad was gone more often than he was around, and then, when he was around, he He was always working.
Yeah.
I was angry at him.
I wanted to rebel.
How'd he die? The official story: he was in Paraguay working as a pilot for an NGO.
Went out drinking one night.
Stabbed to death in a bar fight.
Paraguay.
Bar fight.
Anything.
Come on.
LASALLE: Do you think that's true? Check it.
CHLOE: I know it's not.
My father didn't drink.
Not a drop in his life.
And he wouldn't ever get into a bar fight.
The government made that up to cover up the truth.
Well, what's the truth? State secret.
I've been trying to find out for three years.
I feel very close to you.
Maybe it's because you were so tight with Sam.
(chuckles) Or maybe it's the three drinks talking.
(chuckles) I feel close to you, too.
Sam, he-he told me about what you do for the Navy.
I know he shouldn't have, but when he found out what happened to my father, he thought that maybe you could I could? (whispers): I'm sorry.
This is this is wrong.
What? I'm sorry.
I-I've said too much, and I and I-I drank too much.
It-it was nice to meet you, Nolan.
She's gone.
What just happened? Did she spot Gregorio or Percy? GREGORIO: No.
No way.
We're a block away, with eyes on her car.
Yeah, this-this has got to be part of her game.
I'm going after her.
PRIDE: No, no, no.
Take a beat, Christopher.
That's exactly what she wants you to do.
Look, King, I was this close to getting what we need.
You won't have backup.
If something happens to me, you can find me.
I'm carrying a tracking device.
Gregorio, Percy, get eyes on him.
Chloe, wait.
I made a fool of myself back there.
I know how important family is.
And you want to find out about your dad.
I have to find out.
Then tell me what you were gonna ask.
Maybe I can help.
You're definitely gonna help.
What did you do? Don't fight it.
Just come with me.
(panting) We just lost contact.
Something happen to his hat? Christopher, you there? Percy, Gregorio, somebody talk to me.
Where's Lasalle? Where the hell did they go? SONJA: We found his hat.
That means he doesn't have his tracking device.
Christopher! She had another car! Pride, I think we lost her! Surveillance.
BOLO.
Talk to me.
Well, Chloe Miles took Lasalle in a silver sedan, and Gregorio and Percy are searching the area.
But no sign yet.
So you got nothing.
Keep working.
We got to find them.
What'd you find out about Chloe's father? James Miles was CIA.
Part of a covert operation called Chaos.
And what is Chaos? The Triple Frontier.
It's a border junction between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
It's a hotbed for terrorist and criminal activity.
And the government's cracking down? Joint task force across the agencies.
There's hundreds of agents involved.
Including Chloe's father.
Yeah.
Well, what was he doing there? How And how did he die? How did he really die? I can't say.
You do realize that, if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be sitting there.
Chloe's killed four men, kidnapped one of my agents.
It has something to do with her father.
Now, drop the secret agent act! Miles was building a rapport with one of the leaders of a terrorist group.
His cover was blown.
They held him hostage.
They sent in a demand for a million-dollar ransom.
And you said no.
No, not me.
The decision went all the way to the top.
And the answer was clear.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
And we were not gonna let it jeopardize the mission.
What about jeopardizing Miles's life? It was deemed an acceptable loss.
Not to Chloe.
She targeted you and the others to get to the truth.
It's not just the truth.
Look I have access to the names of the officials who made the call.
That's what she wants out of Lasalle.
And when she finds out that he's not you, she's gonna kill him.
(sighs) How would she get you to access that file? CHLOE: Don't waste your energy, Nolan.
Those zip ties won't budge.
Chloe.
What are you doing? I need you to log in.
(Lasalle grunts) You need to untie me.
Let's not waste time.
You won't have much left if you don't help.
Look, all right, you're upset.
You're not thinking clearly.
I couldn't be clearer.
Those represent three lives.
Three men who worked with you.
They wouldn't help me, and now they're dead.
But I still got their log-ins, which led me to your identity.
So don't martyr yourself.
Log in, and pull up Operation Chaos.
Look, I-I I don't know what that is.
(shouts) Log in! Log in now! Okay.
Second I log in, my command will be able to track me.
Let me worry about that.
Type! (computer alarm beeping) What did you just do? Who's C.
Lasalle? Undercover identity for the operation.
I must've miskeyed the password.
PATTON: Lasalle's alive! I put a breach alert on a classified site Chloe once accessed.
Lasalle just tried to log in using his real name.
He's sending us a signal.
- Do you have a location? - I'm working on it.
SEBASTIAN: He only has a few log-in attempts left before he's locked out of the system.
Chloe will kill him if that happens.
Type slower.
We need to buy Lasalle some time.
We could give him access to Commander Willis's log-in.
Yes.
What? No.
Not possible.
Oh, it's possible.
You just need to give us your information.
She'll get Intel on the whole operation.
The identities of hundreds of agents still in the field will be exposed to our enemies.
They could die.
No.
That is too much exposure.
It's not worth the risk.
(typing) (computer alarm beeping) You need to take me seriously, Nolan.
I am taking you seriously.
Four men are already dead, including your brother.
Their lives weren't "acceptable losses," and neither is Lasalle's.
I don't know.
PATTON: Zeroed in on his signal, Pride.
Got Lasalle's location.
We'll stop Chloe from utilizing the Intel.
But we need your help to keep Lasalle alive.
Look, I-I understand how your father's death affected you.
How could you? You don't have a father.
You don't know what it's like to have the only person who cared for you die alone.
He should have died a hero, not a drunk, Nolan! You're not responsible for what happened.
No! You are! Log in now! Okay, I will.
I will.
(whispers): Yes.
You're in.
(panting) Thank you, Nolan.
Lasalle successfully logged in a few minutes ago.
But the signal died.
You guys got to hurry.
(tires screech) Chris is in this ship.
Eyes open.
Chloe might still be here.
SONJA: Christopher! Oh, my God! He's got no pulse.
PRIDE: Come on, Christopher, give me something.
You've been doing this for three minutes, 35 seconds.
We got to get him out of here, Pride.
The EMTs are five minutes away, but NOPD can rush him to the hospital.
We don't have that much time.
God What did she do to him?! GREGORIO: Burst blood vessel, puncture mark on his neck, syringe on the floor.
Made it look like an overdose.
That's it.
Gregorio, take over.
All right, come on.
Come on, come on.
Officer! You got an updated ER kit in your trunk? - Yes, sir.
What do you need? - Narcan syringe, now.
(panting): All right.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, buddy.
Gregorio, get out of the way! WOMAN (recorded): Three, two, one.
(Lasalle gasps) (all shouting) No, no, no.
It's us, it's us.
It's us.
It's us, Christopher.
Wh-What the hell happened? You just came back from the dead.
You had to make a scene, huh? (panting) Chloe.
Chloe, she's-she's ran off with Willis's data.
Yeah, we know.
We know.
We know.
We got to get her! No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
What you got to do is listen to what the paramedics tell you to do, all right? Here you go.
You got him? We'll take care of Chloe.
Patton and Sebastian got a bead on our girl.
She hasn't gone that far! Take care of him! (exhales) Okay.
PRIDE: Won't need that luggage.
You're not leaving here today.
GREGORIO: Hey.
Come on, move.
SEBASTIAN: Get out, get out.
Get out, get out.
Move, move, move on.
CHLOE: You're too late.
In a few moments, Operation Chaos goes public.
And everyone will then know the truth.
We're not gonna let that happen.
We'll see.
Put the gun down, Chloe.
It's not worth any more bloodshed.
It's absolutely worth it.
People deserve to know the truth! PRIDE: No matter the cost? Hundreds of other agents' lives are at stake if you let that upload complete.
CHLOE: I'm not the bad guy here! I'm just righting a wrong! PRIDE: There are children who will lose parents because you're righting a wrong.
Not to mention the blood already on your hands.
All because you decided it.
What happened? What happened?! We cut the power.
No! No! No! It's over, Chloe.
Put down the gun.
I can't.
She's gonna make a move, Pride.
Is this what your father would have wanted? You to go down in a hail of bullets for him? He was all I had.
And you think somehow he'll be seen as a hero when this ends? I don't care.
Just do it.
Shoot me.
Shoot me.
Shoot me or I'll shoot you instead! Do it! PRIDE: No.
No, not this way.
Don't give up on him.
Put down your weapon.
Stop the killing.
(crying) You do that for me, and I promise, the truth of his heroism will come out.
(panting) (sobs) LASALLE: Appreciate you coming to pick me up, King.
I'm good to get myself home.
Well, your heart stopped for four minutes.
You were basically dead.
Figure that earns you a free ride.
(car alarm chirps) (scoffs) Yeah, well, I would be dead if it wasn't for you.
You saved my life.
I owe you one.
Well, I'm glad you feel that way, 'cause I'm calling in that chit.
I'm not taking you home.
I'm taking you to see your dad.
King, no.
Yes, Christopher.
Uh, maybe you were right.
You know, I was basically dead.
I should rest up.
You need to face your father.
There's no point.
He wants me to take over the family business.
All right? I'm not gonna.
So tell him.
Why's it matter so much to you? 'Cause I've been where you are.
Don't make the same mistakes I made.
Talk to your father.
It's not like anything will change.
Maybe.
Maybe that's not the point.
Went through a lot to avoid seeing me the last couple days.
That's not what happened here, sir.
Mr.
Pride told me.
You put yourself on the line to save a lot of others.
That's what we do.
I just don't understand why you do it.
You got prospects at home.
A business with a future.
Look, I'm gonna stop you right there, Dad.
That business is not my future.
And it never will be.
All right, no matter how many speeches you give me about family or responsibility, or whatever else you want to talk about, I'm happy here.
You can like it, you can hate it, but that's the fact of the matter.
Let's order a couple more of those steaks.
No fancy sauce this time.
I'm starving.
Uh, you know what? Uh I guess I just wasn't as hungry as I thought.
(sighs)
Thank you for doing this.
Oh, sweetie don't thank me.
NCIS:New Orleans 4x06 Acceptable Loss Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
LASALLE: Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I under No, sir.
I'll do my best.
I got to let you go.
I'm at work.
Okay.
Good-bye.
That didn't sound so good.
Was that NCIS HQ? You in trouble or something? It wasn't HQ.
It was my father.
You talk to your father like that? Like what? "Yes, sir.
No, sir.
" Yes, ma'am.
Must be a Southern thing.
Well, it's a respect thing.
All right.
How do you talk to your parents? We're Italian.
There's a lot of yelling.
Well, Lasalles don't yell at their parents.
Fair enough.
What's up with Dad? Uh, he's in town.
Wants to have dinner.
That's nice.
Spend some quality time.
Well, you don't know my father.
We don't exactly see eye to eye.
Oh, yeah? Like, on what? Anything.
Hey, they're here.
Hey.
Hey.
Victim's Petty Officer Sam Segar.
Electronics tech.
Here for advanced training at Belle Chasse.
Cleaning lady found him this morning.
What is this? A union coffee break? Ah, kicked everybody out.
Too many comments.
Gruesome in there? Not exactly.
What is it? (camera clicking) WADE: Autoerotic asphyxiation.
Can't say I haven't seen it before.
And based on the faded bruising on our victim's neck, it wasn't a first time for him, either.
It is for me.
Out of curiosity, what's this mirror for? Oh, it's so that he could watch himself while he, uh you know.
It's pretty common for the choke and choke set.
Sebastian.
Really? Sorry.
We're looking at an accident, then? SEBASTIAN: Well, this is an emergency knot.
It's supposed to be easy to reach and fashioned for a quick release in case you find yourself passing out.
But this is placed on his back, and it's bound way too tightly.
You seem to know a lot about this, Sebastian.
Should we be concerned? Yes.
No.
I mean, no, you shouldn't be concerned.
Yes, I know a lot about AEA.
I was just I was a big INXS fan as a kid.
When Michael Hutchence died, I just dealt with my trauma through intense research.
Fell down a real rabbit hole.
So, we're thinking it's suspicious? Hutchence's death was totally suspicious.
I mean, I wrote a whole high school term Sebastian.
He's talking about Petty Officer Segar's death.
I know that.
Now.
The scene's been staged to look like Petty Officer Segar was alone, but someone else tied these knots.
Some kind of sex play gone wrong? If so, somebody cleaned up really well.
I'm not finding any biologicals apart from the victim's.
There may be traces on the body, though.
Can we get the poor kid down now and find out? We need to know who else was in this room and why they fled.
Sam Segar was born in Detroit, raised in foster care until he joined the Navy.
Multiple deployments over the years.
Arrived in New Orleans a month ago.
According to his C.
O.
, he's got a spotless record.
He's new to the unit, but he gets along good with the other sailors.
Now, his next of kin is Lieutenant Commander Nolan Willis.
No actual relation.
You know, I'm having a hell of a time getting in contact with him.
He's on some mission in San Antonio.
Something classified.
Navy's reaching out on our behalf.
What about his personal life? Not much of one.
Charges on his credit card are for takeout food and a couple of websites I've never even heard of.
That's because it's a specialty site connecting people interested in dangling and mangling.
Am I the only one not up on these euphemisms? No.
No.
I took a deep dive into Segar's browser history.
He was in contact with one woman in particular: Lady Edgeplay 22.
What kind of contact? Full kind.
Lot of flirting and foreplay.
Whoever she is, she worked hard to get his attention.
And it paid off.
They made plans to meet up.
PRIDE: Could be the suspect we're looking for.
What else can you tell us? Nothing.
Her contact info was scrubbed from the chat room.
I took a look into Segar's phone.
I found evidence of deleted pictures.
I thought you said no one can actually delete anything from their phone.
No normal person.
Baby got skills.
Them pictures are gone.
She's technically sophisticated, worked hard to get his attention, and then completely covered her tracks.
Got to be a reason why.
(phone rings) It's a shame you can't recover any of that information she deleted, Patton.
Don't sweat it.
I got a few tricks up my sleeve.
(phone rings) You need to get that? Uh, definitely not.
Okay.
Get in contact with the sailors in Segar's unit.
(phone ringing) If he met a woman, he might have talked about her.
(phone continues ringing) You don't answer that, your dad's gonna just keep on calling.
How did you? All the years we worked together, I know what it looks like when you're ducking family.
(ringing stops) It's all good.
See? What's he want? Dinner.
So go.
Gregorio and Percy can handle Belle Chasse.
No, no.
He wants to have a, uh, talk.
About what? I don't know.
That's what I'm worried about.
Eat with your father.
Hear him out.
Is that what you would do with your father? (chuckles): Absolutely not.
But be smarter than me.
Look it here.
Perfectly fine piece of meat ruined by all this glop.
It's béarnaise sauce, and it's the house specialty.
You should at least taste it.
Christopher, you with me here? Oh, yes, sir.
Just checking in.
How are things back home? I already told you.
They're fine.
And your mama's fine, too.
And before you get into football, we all have a lot of faith in Alabama this year.
Now, small talk's done.
Let's get down to it.
How long you gonna be doing this? Putting the phone away now, sir.
Not the phone, Christopher.
This job of yours.
My career.
No.
A career is something that you build.
Something that makes a contribution to the world.
Been more than patient with you.
For more than ten years, actually.
But time's up.
Uh, what is that? Contract.
Makes you sole proprietor and chief executive of Lasalle Enterprises.
That's your job.
For now.
But I'm not gonna be around forever.
Got to plan for the future.
I'm honored, but, uh I can't take the company.
It's a family business.
Last I heard, you're part of the family.
Yeah, but I got a life here.
(laughs) I'm sorry.
You got a car payment and a rental lease.
That's not a life.
Cade can't take care of himself, let alone the business.
Your mama's not getting any younger.
My sister, your cousins, I take care of all them.
When I'm gone, you're who's left.
Last in the line, Christopher.
I don't know anything about the oil business.
Then you better learn.
It's time for you to step up and take responsibility.
Your family needs you.
Sir I'm done talking about it.
Eat your steak.
SONJA: We interviewed everyone at Belle Chasse who had contact with Petty Officer Segar.
He never mentioned a girl to them.
Never mentioned anything about his private life.
I figured he'd keep his proclivities to himself.
It's probably smart for his career.
Yeah, but it doesn't make it any easier for us to track down this mystery woman of his.
PATTON: Easy is for chumps.
We thrive on the impossible.
Our mystery woman is a mystery no longer.
Meet Chloe Miles, Segar's playmate in the chat room.
SONJA: Wait, you were able to un-delete the photos from his phone? Oh, no.
We had to step our game up a notch.
Hacked into her shadow profile.
What's a shadow profile? It's whenever you give a program permission to access the photos on your phone, you're actually allowing it to access all your data.
And they store that information on a server.
They got a little something extra on everybody.
What can you tell us about Chloe Miles? She's a real person, for one.
Uh, she's not an alias or a bot created online.
She met with Segar in public a few times.
That's where these first photos came from.
PATTON: And the final photos were taken last night at his apartment.
Proves they were together before he was killed.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, and it gets even scarier.
This isn't her first time.
We found photos connecting Chloe to three other men.
Each of them were involved in some type of Internet subculture.
Each one of them died under mysterious circumstances.
This is more than a coincidence.
Yeah, the pattern's the same.
Each of the three victims had no trace of Chloe in their social media, but her shadow profile puts them together hours before their deaths.
PRIDE: I've heard enough.
You got an address for her? Windsor Court Hotel, room 503.
Federal agents! Open the door! (lock beeps, clicks) (shower running) You in the shower, hands up now.
Put your hands where we can see them.
Now! (shower turns off) Do you really want me to put my hands up? You met Petty Officer Segar online in a chat room specializing in sexual fetishes? It's possible.
This is correspondence between you, making arrangements to meet.
This is a correspondence between someone named Lady Edgeplay 22.
- Your screen name.
- It could be.
You were with Segar last night in his apartment, hours before he was found dead.
If you say so.
Well, this photo says so, Ms.
Miles.
And it wasn't easy finding it, considering someone had scrubbed any sign of you from his phone or computer.
I don't know what your point is.
My point is Segar died of asphyxiation in what was made to look like a sex game gone wrong.
Unless, of course, it simply was a sex game gone wrong.
Is that what you're saying it was? I couldn't tell you.
I don't know.
What about Taylor Cotton? Outdoorsman.
You met him in another chat room.
Invited him to go backpacking with you in the Rockies.
He drowned in the hot springs.
That sounds awful.
There are others.
Jackson Holt in Hawaii.
Kevin Chung outside Seattle.
All met similar ends after making contact with you.
Okay, I admit it.
I'm a travel writer.
I move around the country.
I meet a lot of people.
Do I remember them all? No.
But that's not a crime.
The crime is their murders.
You just said they died accidentally.
I said their deaths were made to look like accidents.
GREGORIO: Hey.
You, uh, survived Dad? LASALLE: Yeah.
Though I'm wondering why y'all didn't reach out to me after you, uh, arrested Chloe Miles last night.
Because you were busy at dinner.
And last I heard, I'm still part of the investigation.
Oh, take it easy, cowboy.
Nobody's cutting you out of anything, okay? We just figured four agents were enough to take care of one woman.
Though, maybe we were wrong.
Pride hasn't gotten a confession yet? Nope, and I don't think he's gonna.
Saying she's innocent? I-I don't know.
There's something about this girl.
Something's off.
Well, you're the profiler, Gregorio.
What doesn't add up? Other than the many coincidences, I don't know.
Like she's gone over this in her head a million times.
Her reactions are too well-timed.
That doesn't sound like enough for an arrest warrant.
No.
But Pride's not done yet.
You're awfully calm for someone being accused of four murders.
I guess I'd be more nervous if I had anything to hide.
Or you had any evidence.
You're looking at the evidence.
No.
I'm looking at photos.
There's something else.
Medical examiner found foreign DNA on Segar's body.
Since you got, uh, nothing to hide, I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I swab your DNA? Be my guest, Agent Pride.
SEBASTIAN: The DNA we found on Segar's body does not match Chloe's.
You're kidding.
Whose DNA is it? No one's at the moment.
It's not coming up in any of the standard searches.
I'm expanding to more classified databases, but I'm not optimistic.
Everything in me says she's our killer.
Yeah, but we don't have anything on her.
Maybe we could keep her for another day.
Keep trying to break her down.
No, that woman's not gonna break.
Gregorio, escort her back to her hotel, keep an eye on her.
We'll figure out another way to take her down.
If we can't get her to talk, we got to focus on the victims.
Percy and Patton have been trying to get more details, find a connection between them.
What if there is no connection? What if all these murders are just random? If I know one thing from sitting across from Chloe Miles, she doesn't do anything randomly.
PATTON: Four male victims from different parts of the country, age, ethnic background.
LASALLE: And seemingly only one thing in common: Chloe Miles.
Actually, there's something else.
The three other victims, Taylor Cotton, Jackson Holt and Kevin Chung had top secret security clearances.
Well, nothing in their files suggested they worked for the government.
Not officially, but each one was a contractor for either the NSA, the CIA or the DIA.
That changes everything.
MICE.
Where? SEBASTIAN: No, uh It's an acronym that FLETC taught us.
It's the four motives for stealing secrets.
Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego.
Oh, we know she had a ego going for her.
So, Chloe is some sort of spy.
Getting close enough to these contractors to steal Intel and kill them.
Yeah, except Petty Officer Segar doesn't fit the pattern.
He was a electronics tech.
Didn't no special clearance, no access to Intel.
Chloe had a reason to go after him.
Maybe it was geography.
Three contractors in Colorado, Washington state, and Hawaii.
All three have NSA outposts.
But New Orleans doesn't.
I mean, the closest NSA station is San Antonio.
Mm, San Antonio.
Segar's next of kin, Lieutenant Commander Willis, is on mission in San Antonio.
Something classified.
Navy wouldn't even give me his direct contact.
Just like these other victims.
(cell phone chiming) It's Wade.
She might have something.
I'm running a check on Willis right now.
Zero presence on social media and I can't even find a picture on him.
Well, suggests he's way up the food chain.
SEBASTIAN: So, Chloe kills Petty Officer Segar to what? To draw Willis out? SONJA: And it looks like it worked.
According to Wade, Commander Willis just arrived in New Orleans to make arrangements for Segar's body.
WILLIS: When I got the call, I just couldn't believe it.
Sam and I grew up together in the foster system.
The closest thing either one of us had to family.
We're very sorry for your loss, Commander.
Nobody will tell me anything about how this happened.
Do you recognize this woman? No.
Chloe Miles.
We believe she murdered Petty Officer Segar and tried to make it look like an accident.
Why would she kill Sam? LASALLE: We've connected her to three other mysterious deaths.
Each victim working for the government with top secret clearance.
Sam wasn't involved in intelligence.
PRIDE: No, we think she targeted him to get to you.
The other victims, Taylor Cotton, Jackson Holt, Kevin Chung.
Any of those names sound familiar? Look, I'm detached to DOJ legal counsel right now.
I have review privileges on dozens of operations.
There's hundreds of personnel involved.
Even if I did recognize those names, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you.
DoD is in the process of reading us in on all their assignments.
PRIDE: We're gonna need you to do the same.
Come to NCIS.
Help us sort this out.
Please.
Yeah, I I'll put in a call to my commanding officer, but I need to be free tonight to pay my respects to Sam.
What's happening tonight? Memorial service being held by his unit.
I'll be the only family there.
If Chloe killed Segar to draw Willis out, the memorial service is the best place for her to make contact with him.
We could set up a sting.
Send Willis in wired, catch her in the act.
She killed four men in the last six months.
Too risky putting him in harm's way.
All right, so we don't put him in.
Willis has been scrubbed out the Internet.
Chloe doesn't have a clue what he looks like.
You mean send in a ringer? Who, Christopher? She's been to NCIS.
She's seen us.
Not me.
I was at dinner with my father.
No.
No, you have no idea how much she knows about Willis.
There's no time to prepare you.
Look, I'll wear an earwig.
All right, Willis can listen in.
We'll make it work.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm worried your head's not in the game.
You're too distracted.
You (cell phone rings) Case in point.
What? My father? (scoffs) Come on.
Yeah, he's a pain in the rear end, for sure, but I got my eye on the ball here, all right? I want to catch this girl before she kills again.
Unless she kills you, too.
Which, I must admit, she's quite skilled at.
This woman is extremely dangerous.
LASALLE: She caught those men by surprise.
All right? I'll be going in knowing what I'm dealing with.
Unless you don't.
These toxicology reports suggest all four of our victims were dosed with Succinylcholine.
It's a paralytic.
Mossad uses it in assassinations.
So I won't let her inject me.
What about the unidentified DNA on Segar's body? Chloe may have an accomplice.
I'll be at a memorial service.
We'll have backup there.
King, this is what we do.
Plus, it's not like we got a lot of options.
(somber jazz music playing) LASALLE: All right, I'm in.
See a lot of uniforms, but no sign of Chloe.
Gregorio and Sonja said she left the hotel 20 minutes ago.
Parked down the street.
GREGORIO: She's got to be inside.
We saw her go in.
SONJA: Yeah, and if we're right, she'll find you.
I'll make my way to the bar.
Try to blend in.
PATTON: Don't blend in too much.
Got to keep your wits around this girl.
Already got a father in town, Patton.
Thanks for the advice.
Ooh.
Hey.
CHLOE: I am so sorry.
Oh, it's okay.
I-I feel so awful.
Let me pay for your dry cleaning.
It's the least I can do.
Oh, how about buying me a drink instead? Well, the-the drinks are-are free here.
Then it's your lucky night, Miss Chloe Miles.
You're Commander Willis, Sam's older brother.
Wow, I have heard so much about you.
Call me Nolan.
CHLOE: Well, let's get that drink, Nolan.
Target's engaged.
Lasalle's just got to get her on the hook.
Yeah, and now we just need him to reel her in before she takes him out.
I'm glad to meet you, Nolan.
Nobody here really knew Sam.
It's good to have someone to talk to about him.
You and Sam were? Friends.
Oh, he never mentioned me? No.
I'm sorry.
I've been busy, though, and we haven't talked in a while.
Oh, that's okay.
We were just getting to know each other.
He sure talked about you.
Looking out for him the way you did growing up (laughs) How much he idolized you It's so special.
The way she turns on the sweetness and vulnerability, you'd never know she killed four men.
Can't decide if I'm impressed or terrified.
PRIDE: Stay focused there.
Mm-hmm.
Anything goes wrong, you're Lasalle's last line of defense.
He was the closest thing I had to family.
We looked out for each other.
"Partners in crime" is how he put it.
(chuckles) Well, from everything he told me, you were a good big brother.
Yeah, not good enough.
Wish I was here when he needed me most.
CHLOE: There's no worse feeling in the world.
Knowing somebody you love died alone.
Sounds like you got experience with it.
You lose a sibling, too? My father.
LASALLE: I'm sorry.
What happened? This isn't about me.
Tonight is about Sam.
Come on.
Let's do another round.
We can toast to him.
You got all that about her father, right? PRIDE: Could be a play for sympathy or she could be telling us the truth.
Either way, she wants you to ask her about it.
Let's see where she's taking us.
And remember, Christopher, don't trust anything she says.
I'm all over it, King.
Here you go.
Thank you.
To Sam.
One of the good ones.
GREGORIO: Be careful of that next drink.
Yeah, no idea what she dosed it with.
GREGORIO: Yeah.
To Sam.
SEBASTIAN: Pride, you got a moment? Lasalle's dad's here.
Great timing, right? Keep a close eye on Christopher.
Mr.
Lasalle.
I'm Dwayne Pride.
Pleasure to finally get to meet you.
Where's Christopher? I been calling him all day.
Yeah, um, I'm afraid he's tied up at the moment.
What's he doing? Unfortunately, I can't tell you.
And I need to get back to it myself.
- But I will let him know - I get it.
Y'all cover each other's backs while he tries to avoid his father.
Actually, he's working a case.
If he could be here He still wouldn't.
I know my son.
Though probably not as well as you do these days.
Like I said, we are a little busy around here at the moment.
This is Christopher's desk, right? (scoffs) Ten years, and this is the culmination of his career.
Christopher is great at his job.
Well, he certainly spends enough time doing it.
Do you know how many holidays he's missed over the years? Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmases.
Because he was here.
We're like a family.
"Like a family" is not the same as an actual family.
A wife, children.
You know what I'm talking about? I do.
I have a daughter.
And what do you want for her, Mr.
Pride? You want her in a job with no future? Risking her life, never coming home.
I want her to be happy.
I want my son to grow up, take responsibility, make something of himself.
But I don't have the influence over him that you do.
You know Christopher makes his own choices.
And for the record, he's one of the best agents I've ever worked with.
He makes a difference every day he wears the badge.
I wouldn't know.
He never talks to me about it.
If you see my son, tell him I was here.
CHLOE: It wasn't a normal childhood.
I was a military brat, so we moved around a lot.
My dad was all I had.
No mom? No, she died when I was a baby.
Then my dad, he got a new job working for the government.
Started traveling alone.
What kind of job? Well, Nolan I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
Oh.
That kind of job.
You're familiar with it? I could tell you, but Oh.
No.
Fair enough.
We need information on Chloe's dad, and we need it fast.
Got it.
Captain James Miles, former Air Force helicopter pilot.
You ever hear of this guy? No, but I'll look into it.
Then go.
Yeah, yeah.
CHLOE: Dad was gone more often than he was around, and then, when he was around, he He was always working.
Yeah.
I was angry at him.
I wanted to rebel.
How'd he die? The official story: he was in Paraguay working as a pilot for an NGO.
Went out drinking one night.
Stabbed to death in a bar fight.
Paraguay.
Bar fight.
Anything.
Come on.
LASALLE: Do you think that's true? Check it.
CHLOE: I know it's not.
My father didn't drink.
Not a drop in his life.
And he wouldn't ever get into a bar fight.
The government made that up to cover up the truth.
Well, what's the truth? State secret.
I've been trying to find out for three years.
I feel very close to you.
Maybe it's because you were so tight with Sam.
(chuckles) Or maybe it's the three drinks talking.
(chuckles) I feel close to you, too.
Sam, he-he told me about what you do for the Navy.
I know he shouldn't have, but when he found out what happened to my father, he thought that maybe you could I could? (whispers): I'm sorry.
This is this is wrong.
What? I'm sorry.
I-I've said too much, and I and I-I drank too much.
It-it was nice to meet you, Nolan.
She's gone.
What just happened? Did she spot Gregorio or Percy? GREGORIO: No.
No way.
We're a block away, with eyes on her car.
Yeah, this-this has got to be part of her game.
I'm going after her.
PRIDE: No, no, no.
Take a beat, Christopher.
That's exactly what she wants you to do.
Look, King, I was this close to getting what we need.
You won't have backup.
If something happens to me, you can find me.
I'm carrying a tracking device.
Gregorio, Percy, get eyes on him.
Chloe, wait.
I made a fool of myself back there.
I know how important family is.
And you want to find out about your dad.
I have to find out.
Then tell me what you were gonna ask.
Maybe I can help.
You're definitely gonna help.
What did you do? Don't fight it.
Just come with me.
(panting) We just lost contact.
Something happen to his hat? Christopher, you there? Percy, Gregorio, somebody talk to me.
Where's Lasalle? Where the hell did they go? SONJA: We found his hat.
That means he doesn't have his tracking device.
Christopher! She had another car! Pride, I think we lost her! Surveillance.
BOLO.
Talk to me.
Well, Chloe Miles took Lasalle in a silver sedan, and Gregorio and Percy are searching the area.
But no sign yet.
So you got nothing.
Keep working.
We got to find them.
What'd you find out about Chloe's father? James Miles was CIA.
Part of a covert operation called Chaos.
And what is Chaos? The Triple Frontier.
It's a border junction between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
It's a hotbed for terrorist and criminal activity.
And the government's cracking down? Joint task force across the agencies.
There's hundreds of agents involved.
Including Chloe's father.
Yeah.
Well, what was he doing there? How And how did he die? How did he really die? I can't say.
You do realize that, if it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be sitting there.
Chloe's killed four men, kidnapped one of my agents.
It has something to do with her father.
Now, drop the secret agent act! Miles was building a rapport with one of the leaders of a terrorist group.
His cover was blown.
They held him hostage.
They sent in a demand for a million-dollar ransom.
And you said no.
No, not me.
The decision went all the way to the top.
And the answer was clear.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
And we were not gonna let it jeopardize the mission.
What about jeopardizing Miles's life? It was deemed an acceptable loss.
Not to Chloe.
She targeted you and the others to get to the truth.
It's not just the truth.
Look I have access to the names of the officials who made the call.
That's what she wants out of Lasalle.
And when she finds out that he's not you, she's gonna kill him.
(sighs) How would she get you to access that file? CHLOE: Don't waste your energy, Nolan.
Those zip ties won't budge.
Chloe.
What are you doing? I need you to log in.
(Lasalle grunts) You need to untie me.
Let's not waste time.
You won't have much left if you don't help.
Look, all right, you're upset.
You're not thinking clearly.
I couldn't be clearer.
Those represent three lives.
Three men who worked with you.
They wouldn't help me, and now they're dead.
But I still got their log-ins, which led me to your identity.
So don't martyr yourself.
Log in, and pull up Operation Chaos.
Look, I-I I don't know what that is.
(shouts) Log in! Log in now! Okay.
Second I log in, my command will be able to track me.
Let me worry about that.
Type! (computer alarm beeping) What did you just do? Who's C.
Lasalle? Undercover identity for the operation.
I must've miskeyed the password.
PATTON: Lasalle's alive! I put a breach alert on a classified site Chloe once accessed.
Lasalle just tried to log in using his real name.
He's sending us a signal.
- Do you have a location? - I'm working on it.
SEBASTIAN: He only has a few log-in attempts left before he's locked out of the system.
Chloe will kill him if that happens.
Type slower.
We need to buy Lasalle some time.
We could give him access to Commander Willis's log-in.
Yes.
What? No.
Not possible.
Oh, it's possible.
You just need to give us your information.
She'll get Intel on the whole operation.
The identities of hundreds of agents still in the field will be exposed to our enemies.
They could die.
No.
That is too much exposure.
It's not worth the risk.
(typing) (computer alarm beeping) You need to take me seriously, Nolan.
I am taking you seriously.
Four men are already dead, including your brother.
Their lives weren't "acceptable losses," and neither is Lasalle's.
I don't know.
PATTON: Zeroed in on his signal, Pride.
Got Lasalle's location.
We'll stop Chloe from utilizing the Intel.
But we need your help to keep Lasalle alive.
Look, I-I understand how your father's death affected you.
How could you? You don't have a father.
You don't know what it's like to have the only person who cared for you die alone.
He should have died a hero, not a drunk, Nolan! You're not responsible for what happened.
No! You are! Log in now! Okay, I will.
I will.
(whispers): Yes.
You're in.
(panting) Thank you, Nolan.
Lasalle successfully logged in a few minutes ago.
But the signal died.
You guys got to hurry.
(tires screech) Chris is in this ship.
Eyes open.
Chloe might still be here.
SONJA: Christopher! Oh, my God! He's got no pulse.
PRIDE: Come on, Christopher, give me something.
You've been doing this for three minutes, 35 seconds.
We got to get him out of here, Pride.
The EMTs are five minutes away, but NOPD can rush him to the hospital.
We don't have that much time.
God What did she do to him?! GREGORIO: Burst blood vessel, puncture mark on his neck, syringe on the floor.
Made it look like an overdose.
That's it.
Gregorio, take over.
All right, come on.
Come on, come on.
Officer! You got an updated ER kit in your trunk? - Yes, sir.
What do you need? - Narcan syringe, now.
(panting): All right.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, buddy.
Gregorio, get out of the way! WOMAN (recorded): Three, two, one.
(Lasalle gasps) (all shouting) No, no, no.
It's us, it's us.
It's us.
It's us, Christopher.
Wh-What the hell happened? You just came back from the dead.
You had to make a scene, huh? (panting) Chloe.
Chloe, she's-she's ran off with Willis's data.
Yeah, we know.
We know.
We know.
We got to get her! No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
What you got to do is listen to what the paramedics tell you to do, all right? Here you go.
You got him? We'll take care of Chloe.
Patton and Sebastian got a bead on our girl.
She hasn't gone that far! Take care of him! (exhales) Okay.
PRIDE: Won't need that luggage.
You're not leaving here today.
GREGORIO: Hey.
Come on, move.
SEBASTIAN: Get out, get out.
Get out, get out.
Move, move, move on.
CHLOE: You're too late.
In a few moments, Operation Chaos goes public.
And everyone will then know the truth.
We're not gonna let that happen.
We'll see.
Put the gun down, Chloe.
It's not worth any more bloodshed.
It's absolutely worth it.
People deserve to know the truth! PRIDE: No matter the cost? Hundreds of other agents' lives are at stake if you let that upload complete.
CHLOE: I'm not the bad guy here! I'm just righting a wrong! PRIDE: There are children who will lose parents because you're righting a wrong.
Not to mention the blood already on your hands.
All because you decided it.
What happened? What happened?! We cut the power.
No! No! No! It's over, Chloe.
Put down the gun.
I can't.
She's gonna make a move, Pride.
Is this what your father would have wanted? You to go down in a hail of bullets for him? He was all I had.
And you think somehow he'll be seen as a hero when this ends? I don't care.
Just do it.
Shoot me.
Shoot me.
Shoot me or I'll shoot you instead! Do it! PRIDE: No.
No, not this way.
Don't give up on him.
Put down your weapon.
Stop the killing.
(crying) You do that for me, and I promise, the truth of his heroism will come out.
(panting) (sobs) LASALLE: Appreciate you coming to pick me up, King.
I'm good to get myself home.
Well, your heart stopped for four minutes.
You were basically dead.
Figure that earns you a free ride.
(car alarm chirps) (scoffs) Yeah, well, I would be dead if it wasn't for you.
You saved my life.
I owe you one.
Well, I'm glad you feel that way, 'cause I'm calling in that chit.
I'm not taking you home.
I'm taking you to see your dad.
King, no.
Yes, Christopher.
Uh, maybe you were right.
You know, I was basically dead.
I should rest up.
You need to face your father.
There's no point.
He wants me to take over the family business.
All right? I'm not gonna.
So tell him.
Why's it matter so much to you? 'Cause I've been where you are.
Don't make the same mistakes I made.
Talk to your father.
It's not like anything will change.
Maybe.
Maybe that's not the point.
Went through a lot to avoid seeing me the last couple days.
That's not what happened here, sir.
Mr.
Pride told me.
You put yourself on the line to save a lot of others.
That's what we do.
I just don't understand why you do it.
You got prospects at home.
A business with a future.
Look, I'm gonna stop you right there, Dad.
That business is not my future.
And it never will be.
All right, no matter how many speeches you give me about family or responsibility, or whatever else you want to talk about, I'm happy here.
You can like it, you can hate it, but that's the fact of the matter.
Let's order a couple more of those steaks.
No fancy sauce this time.
I'm starving.
Uh, you know what? Uh I guess I just wasn't as hungry as I thought.
(sighs)
