NCIS New Orleans (2014) s04e08 Episode Script
Sins of the Father
1 (sniffs) (trolley bell rings) Thank you for the tunes, baby.
(saxophone continues playing) (music playing faintly on radio) Hey.
I've got an angel Emily? Somewhere, somehow Hey, Emily? (grunting) Emily! Emily? (phone beeps) (panting) Pride, it's me.
Something terrible's happened.
NCIS:New Orleans 4x08 Sins of the Father Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
SERGEANT GORDON: All I'm saying is kid should've called 911 first, Pride, then you.
I know he's a sailor, but still.
It's a murder scene.
Could look like he's looking for cover.
Not just a sailor, G, he's Loretta Wade's foster son.
- He's family.
- Still don't look good.
But captain says not to push it 'cause it's you.
Assault's NCIS.
Murder's NOPD.
Okay.
Look, I-I can't get ahold of Emily anywhere.
Uh, she's not answering my text messages or my calls.
Danny, come on, come on.
You need to get that cut of yours tended to.
She called me at 11:00, right before she got off work.
She said she was coming straight home, but she wasn't here.
You got here what, about midnight? Yeah, just before then, which means Emily should've been here by then.
But then when I saw what happened to her roommate Why can't we find her? Okay, what if something happened to Emily, too? No, no, no.
Don't jump to conclusions, son.
We got a BOLO out on Emily, I sent her picture to Sebastian.
Danny.
Danny, what happened? Are you all right? God, you're hurt.
Think this needs to be stitched up right away.
Just forget it, I'm fine, Mom.
You can take him if you want.
He's been swabbed and whatnot.
Let's keep the captain in the loop.
Call me, I'll call you.
- Thanks, G.
- Okay.
When did you get back from deployment? Yesterday.
Yesterday? Why didn't you call? What am I, 12? Loretta, why don't you get him to the hospital? Okay? Get him looked at.
I'm gonna be here for a while.
Wha-What about Emily? Who's Emily? I know she's in trouble, okay? I-I can't, I can't tell you how, I just, I just know.
What do you mean? How do you know? Look, I knew she was scared about something, or someone, but every time she came close to telling me, s-she wouldn't.
It's like she couldn't.
I need you to find her, Dwayne, I need you to make sure that she's okay, please.
I'll do everything I can, Danny, I promise.
Thank you.
Okay.
All right.
Go with your mama, get fixed up, let me get to work.
(softly): Okay.
LASALLE: Front door was kicked open, assailant caught our victim, Lauren Danskin, by surprise coming out of the kitchen.
Apparently, she's roommates with Danny's girlfriend, Emily Birch.
I got Sebastian doing background checks, and looking into area surveillance.
GREGORIO: Fully clothed, no sign of sexual assault.
Looks like she put up a pretty good fight, though.
PRIDE: A lot of blood.
Any idea on cause of death? Yeah, pretty sure it's a knife to the back of her neck.
Look, straight up to the brainstem.
I mean, that's not luck.
That's taught.
Killer knew what he was doing.
Yeah, there's torture marks, too.
Didn't kill her right away.
Why? SONJA: Doesn't look like anything was taken from either of the bedrooms.
Jewelry, laptops, TVs, money-- this definitely wasn't a home invasion.
What do you think, King? I'm thinking Danny's lucky to be alive.
How is he? He's worried about his girlfriend.
Can't say I blame him.
Mm.
At least there's no sign Emily was here at the time of the attack, or that she was taken.
Doesn't mean that the killer didn't come for Emily, though.
Victim was tortured for some reason, maybe for answers-- answers Danny's counting on us to find out.
And we know how much Danny means to you, King.
We'll find her.
We better.
Have you heard anything from Dwayne yet? Let's just focus on you now.
All done.
Oh.
Thank you, Doctor.
Why didn't you tell me you were here from shore leave? I'm sorry, Mom.
I meant to.
Just didn't have any time; I wanted to see Emily.
Okay.
All right, I understand that.
But you also understand I'm your mother, and I'm gonna give you crap for not calling.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Just worried.
It's okay.
Well, when did you meet Emily? Um, February, I think, at Mardi Gras.
Mardi Gras? Well, all right, then.
How well do you know her? Why are you asking this? I'm asking because I'm trying to find out how much you know about her so we can help find her.
The more, the better.
Who her friends are.
Does she have family here? Someone she would go to if she were scared? She'd go to me.
Okay.
But when you're out to sea, who would she go to? What are her hobbies or people she visits, things she likes to do? What do you know about her, Danny? I know I love her.
And I know I'll do anything it takes to protect her.
What? You sound like Dwayne.
(chuckles softly) SEBASTIAN: Not a lot of surveillance cameras in Emily's neighborhood, unfortunately, and the ones that I did find don't show much more than silhouetted figures.
I'm sorry.
Sorry's not good enough.
We got a killer on the loose, possible target in Emily Birch.
Patton's at his mom's.
Can you work his facial recognition software? Should I? No, I got it.
Okay.
Well, expand your search.
See if you can find a match on Emily anywhere.
All right.
What more do we know about her roommate? Nothing that indicates a motive for murder.
And NOPD's drawing blanks, too.
Lauren Danskin, Shreveport, UNO, scholar athlete.
Never been in trouble.
Not even a parking ticket.
There's not much on Danny's girlfriend, either.
Then we're missing something.
Emily's roommate was obviously killed for some reason.
Well, you didn't let me finish.
The fact that there's not much on Emily could be a reason.
LASALLE: Yeah, Gregorio's right, King.
Both of us have done a deep dive, and so far all we got is a driver's license and a credit card, both issued to Emily Birch earlier this year.
Only job was working at the Erin Rose Bar, also just this year.
SONJA: Yeah.
What about before that? GREGORIO: Well, that's just it.
There's nothing.
No address, no car registration, medical records, social media.
Nothing.
LASALLE: Yeah, it's as if Emily didn't even exist before this year.
Then we got to find out why.
Excuse me.
Special Agent Pride? Can I help you? I'm Dr.
Christo.
From Telegraph Road? I'm the one whose calls you've been ducking the last several days.
What's Telegraph Road? Office of the Director of NCIS.
Sorry, Dr.
Christo.
Been a little busy down here.
I'm sure you understand.
Absolutely, which is why I thought I'd stop by in person.
See if we could finally connect.
Well, it's a long way from Quantico just to, uh, "stop by"" Do you have a minute, Agent Pride? Actually, now's not the best time, either.
Sorry, maybe I was being too polite.
You don't really have a choice.
Follow me.
When we're done, I want to know everything there is to know about Emily Birch before Loretta and Danny show up.
SONJA: Copy that.
Dr.
Christo? Looks like HQ sent over a shrink.
Behavior Science Group Therapist, I believe is the official title.
Yeah, but I thought we were done with HQ.
I thought Pride got cleared.
Apparently not.
CHRISTO: I apologize if this is awkward for you, Agent Pride.
Not awkward for me, Dr.
Christo.
Unnecessary.
Well, it's not unnecessary as far as the director's concerned.
Well, I've done everything the director asked.
Signed a personal improvement plan.
Kept HQ apprised on cases.
Filled out forms.
Right.
But you haven't dealt with what got you in trouble in the first place.
What drove you to risk your career, your life, to take down Mayor Hamilton.
And that's what I'm here to help you figure out.
Well, there's nothing to figure out.
It happened.
It's over.
Hamilton's in prison, and that is that.
Now, if you don't mind, I would seriously like to get back to work.
How long do you think you can keep running from this? I mean, you're a smart man.
You've got an outstanding record, one of the best I've ever seen.
You must know that you have some kind of problem.
There's got to be some reason you take cases too personally sometimes, go off book, disobey orders.
All because you feel compelled to get justice any way you can.
That's my job, Dr.
Christo.
Part of it, maybe, but not all of it.
There is something else driving you, something deeper.
It's the only explanation, and the problem is it's only getting worse, which means if you don't do something about it and soon Oh, give me a break! What do you know? (scoffs) What do you know about me? What do you care? I care because NCIS cares.
You are a valuable asset, Agent Pride.
NCIS needs you.
I'm flattered.
And they're not about to watch you self-destruct without doing everything they can to try to keep that from happening.
I am not the bad guy, Agent Pride.
I'm just here to help you.
I don't need help.
(knocking on door) - Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but - Yeah.
Sebastian just found Emily.
PRIDE: What'd you find? Security camera from the bar where Emily works, time stamp is just after 11:00 last night.
That's 45 minutes before Danny was attacked.
That's Emily Birch.
I matched her to a photo that Danny sent.
Hit play.
GREGORIO: She was abducted, Pride.
Before she came home.
Well, that doesn't make sense.
Then what was the killer doing at Emily's apartment after she was taken? Yeah, and why kill the roommate? Did you find her yet? Is Emily okay? (whistling) Do you have any leads? I mean, do you have any idea where Emily is? I-I don't understand why somebody would take her.
It would help if we knew a little bit more about her.
I'm just saying, Danny.
If there's something that you haven't told us I'm not withholding anything.
Why would I? I would do anything for her.
Dwayne, what would you do if it was somebody that you loved? What am I supposed to do? You need to let us do our jobs.
Okay.
I know you're upset, but if we're gonna find Emily, we need to all stay focused.
What do you mean, "if"? Tea? Seriously, Mom? Agent Pride.
PRIDE: Dr.
Christo, please, this I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna go.
I don't want to get in the way.
I'll call you.
Just make sure you answer.
- Who was that? - It doesn't matter.
- Look, Dwayne, there has to be some - All right, listen to me, Danny.
You trust me, right? Of course I do.
Okay.
Then you know I'm gonna do whatever it takes to find Emily, okay? To do that, I'm gonna need your help.
You saw the man who attacked you.
Yes? Yes.
Okay.
Sebastian and Christopher are in Patton's office, looking for the van that took Emily.
I want you to go in there and give them a description of the assailant, as detailed as you can remember it, too.
Tell them they need to try and find a match.
You understand? I understand.
Okay, good.
Go.
He looks up to you, you know.
He has from the moment I adopted him.
You're like the father he never really had.
And he's become more like you than you know.
I'm not gonna let him down, Loretta.
I'm not worried about you letting him down.
I'm worried about him keeping his head, trying to do too much, like his father.
I have to go to work.
Keep an eye on him.
Where are we? We got a BOLO out on the van and Chris and Sebastian are checking traffic cams.
What about Emily? Know anything more about her yet? No, nothing, and we've been digging, too.
We cross-checked with FBI, NCIC, NamUs Oh, we might have something.
NOPD got a possible on our BOLO.
Black van in Central City.
We only got a partial plate from Sebastian's video, but it matches.
PRIDE: Okay.
Gregorio, you're with me.
Sonja, keep digging.
Tell Christopher and Sebastian to keep an eye on Danny.
Will do.
PRIDE: Let's go! DANNY: Anything yet? What about Emily? I mean, she-she should've shown up somewhere, right? Look, I know this is hard, Danny, but it's a process, one we've been through many times.
All right? We know what we're doing.
I know.
I'm just scared.
Okay? I know the longer it takes to find her It may feel like a long time, but it hasn't been, not from an investigator's standpoint.
You think she's all right? Honestly, we don't know.
But the good news is since Emily was taken, hey, that gives us hope.
Right, 'cause it means that they-they obviously, they want something from her.
But what could anybody possibly want from Emily? You know what, I'm-a call Dwayne.
Maybe he's found something.
Look, Danny, he-he would've called by now if he had.
Look, you got to trust us.
Yeah, and you got to trust Pride.
He's doing everything that he can.
Yeah, I hope so.
Look, I know he's been in trouble lately.
I know he's been going off book.
I know he's been breaking the rules.
Okay? Mom told me.
- What's that got to do with - It's got everything to do with it, especially if he's more concerned about keeping his job than he is about finding Emily.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm just so frustrated.
I'm gonna get some air.
(phone beeps) PRIDE: Watch the door.
I'll check the van.
It's clear.
Pride, pretty high-tech security for a travel agency.
NCIS! Get your hands up now.
Get them up now! All right, all right, easy.
We're not who you think we are.
And who do we think you are? May I? U.
S.
Marshals.
Wait, hold up.
You guys are the ones that took Emily? Emily? Emily who? We don't have time for your games, all right? Woman's been murdered, my sailor's been attacked, and that black van in the alley, we know it was used to take Emily Birch.
Now, I want to know why now! All I can tell you is we got wind of an attempt, so we had to move her fast.
That's it.
GREGORIO: "Attempt"? What do you mean "attempt"? Why would she be in danger? Emily's WITSEC.
Isn't she? You're part of her protection detail.
That's why you're set up here, so you can keep an eye on her.
Oh, well, that makes sense.
Emily Birch isn't her real name.
It's the name WITSEC gave her, huh? Which is why we couldn't find any record of her existing before this year.
Her real identity was erased.
All right, congratulations.
You figured it out.
Now, do you mind? No, we're not going anywhere until you tell us who's after Emily because whoever it is is undoubtedly responsible for attacking our sailor.
MALE MARSHAL: Trust me.
Your sailor doesn't matter nearly as much as Emily.
He matters to me.
SAWYER: All right, with all due respect, our only job is to keep Emily safe until she testifies against somebody DOJ has been trying to bring down for years.
Who? We can't say.
(scoffs) We can't say because we've been compromised.
Somehow, the target keeps figuring out where Emily is.
How? We don't know.
But all the more reason to get Emily to court so she can bring that bastard down once and for all, whatever it takes.
(phone ringing) Danny, you okay? (gunshots) They're shooting at us, Dwayne.
They're trying to kill Emily.
Emily? What do you mean? What's happening? Who's shooting at you? (siren wailing) (whispers): Pride.
Cover me.
(crying) It's Emily! Emily, hey.
NCIS.
I'm a federal agent.
You okay? You're okay.
Listen to me.
Where's Danny? (crying): He hid me after they attacked.
Then he ran off to distract them.
I think they took him.
I think they took Danny! Okay (crying): I shouldn't have called Danny.
But I was scared and I knew that he'd be worried about what happened to me.
Not your fault, Emily.
But I need your help to find him.
Keep going.
You called Danny.
He came to your safe house.
The marshals, they got really mad, tried to get him to leave.
That's when those men showed up, too.
Men who are after you? I gave your agents the best description I could, but they started shooting the marshals, so Danny told me he needed to get them away from the house, away from me.
I saw them get shot, killed.
I was just copying documents.
I was just an intern.
I don't even know what I was looking at.
All right, all right, an intern where? Who were you working for? Is that who you're testifying against? SAWYER: Don't answer that.
I told you, it's classified.
Classified? Those men killed two of your marshals.
They took my best friend's son.
I can't get him back unless I know who the hell I'm chasing.
I'm sorry, but my only job is to get Emily to court in two days.
Period.
Danny risked his life to save you.
You have to help me save him.
SAWYER: Come on, we've got another safe house.
Let's go.
Leave the phone.
Wait.
I'm not going anywhere until I know Danny's safe.
Good.
And I'm not testifying, either! PRIDE: Okay, tell me who took him.
Emily, listen to me.
Listen to me.
They're not gonna hurt Daniel.
They only took him to get to you.
Listen to me.
Once you testify You really think that they're gonna just let him go after everything they've already done? This goes all the way up to the Office of the Attorney General, Agent Pride.
I am under strict orders and so are you.
And yes, that's a warning.
Let's go, kid.
What's going on, King? We're gonna find Danny, that's what.
Emily's burner.
Have Sebastian tear it apart.
See if it's how they found her.
If so, maybe he can reverse track it back to them.
Do we even know who they are yet? No.
The marshals won't say.
So we need to figure out where he is fast.
SEBASTIAN: I might have something.
Does the name Donner International mean anything to anyone? Donner in Dallas? One in the same.
SONJA: I remember this guy from ATF.
Malcolm Donner.
We kept trying to nail him on chemical weapons charges.
How come you didn't? 'Cause every time we got close, witnesses would disappear.
SEBASTIAN: No doubt thanks to this guy, Mateo Hyder.
He's listed as a VP, but he's got a record a mile long.
Danny gave us a few key details that helped us find a match on facial recognition.
So, that's Danny's attacker? And no doubt, the guy who took him, too.
Tell me about Donner.
I'm pulling it up now.
Malcolm Donner, made his fortune manufacturing weapons for the military, but he decided he could make even more money trafficking the weapons internationally.
LASALLE: Then what? Escalated to chemical weapons? SONJA: Not that ATF was able to prove.
PRIDE: But DOJ obviously thinks they can.
Thanks to whatever Emily saw when she was working for Donner.
LASALLE: Here it is.
"U.
S.
v.
Malcolm Donner, 11 counts of trafficking, including chemical weapons sales to Syria.
" Trial begins Thursday, U.
S.
District Court in Dallas.
Two days.
Who is that, his son? Yeah, that's Carsen Donner.
Apparently, they're inseparable.
GREGORIO: Listen.
They're not gonna do anything to Danny.
They need him to get Emily.
Marshals aren't gonna let them get anywhere near Emily again.
Which means if we don't get Danny Check into traffic cameras between here and Dallas.
Tap into security cameras around Donner's work and house.
Get me everything you can on him, okay? Where are you going? Tell Loretta what happened.
Loretta.
Hmm.
All I can say is, those people sure did a number on these poor souls.
Emily is lucky she got out of there alive.
How is she? Scared.
They took her to another safe house.
Well, still, at least she's all right.
Danny will be relieved.
Danny was the one who saved her.
What do you mean, Danny saved her? Loretta.
W-What happened? W-Where is he? Emily texted Danny.
He left without telling anybody to go see her, and that's when they a-attacked.
Attacked? What are you talking about? Is he all right, is he hurt? They took him, Loretta.
And I promise you, I swear to God No! No, no, no, no! This can't be happening.
How could you let this happen? How could you let him do that? I didn't, I thought You're supposed to stop him, Dwayne.
See, I told you that he was becoming too much like you.
I warned you that he might do something stupid, try to take on the world all by himself.
Like you.
I promise, I won't let anything happen to Danny Something's already happened, damn it, and it's your fault! Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, Dwayne.
This is on you.
This is all on you.
And I don't care how you do it, you'd better get my son back.
You hear me? (door closes) Talk to me.
What do we know? What? They sent us a message, King.
On Emily's burner.
To us.
And? MAN: If she testifies, he dies.
No.
Don't listen to them, Dwayne.
Don't give them Emily.
Please.
You able to trace it to Donner? No.
SONJA: But Emily won't testify unless Danny's safe, right? That's what she said.
What are we gonna do, Pride? You're not gonna do anything.
King.
What are you thinking? I'm getting Danny back.
Well, hold on, we're going with you.
No! LAWYER: I'm telling you, Mr.
Donner, if she does testify, we have no defense.
Do you understand me? And prison's (scoffs) not the only thing you'll need to worry about, either.
(laughs) The entire company's going down, too.
Will you CARSEN: Hey! If Dad says, "Don't worry about it," don't worry about it.
Thank you, son.
See? He knows what he's talking about.
(phone beeps) What? What's the matter? It's my Maserati.
I've got an app that tells me when the valets move it more than 500 feet.
It's unbelievable.
(chuckles softly) What the hell? You Carsen Donner? Yeah.
Who the hell are you? Where's Danny Malloy? Where is he? Where's Danny? Where is he? What did you do to him? What the hell is (coughing, screaming) I'm awake, I'm awake! (panting, coughing) (laughing): Oh Oh, my dad's gonna kill you for this.
Then I don't have anything to lose, do I? Last chance.
Where's Danny? You really think that this is gonna save that friend? That bitch intern? It better, or you're a dead man.
You're bluffing.
You're what, some kind of cop, right? You can threaten me all you like, but you can't hurt me.
They'd crucify you! Ow! But I'd still be alive.
(shouts, screams) I'll do anything to save Danny, you understand me? (crying) Danny dies, you die.
(phone beeps) Please, Dad (crying continues) What are you doing? What's going on? Busted.
We can explain.
Well, you'd better, because I'm not in the mood.
Listen, Doc, we know you're upset.
We get it.
But we're not just trying to find Danny now.
Yeah, we're trying to find Pride, too.
Why? What happened? He left, last night, on his own.
Went looking for Danny; we don't know how or where.
He didn't take his car.
So now, we're not only trying to save Danny, we're trying to save Dwayne, too? Must've been too hard on him.
GREGORIO: Hey, no.
Your son went missing.
You had every right.
It's just, now How can I help? Well, actually, we might've already found something.
We keep racking our brains trying to figure out how Donner keeps finding Emily.
Hoping maybe we could backtrack it to Donner, prove that he's behind it all.
And get to Danny before Dwayne goes too far.
Frankly, yeah.
Your autopsy says that this is a rash, but I-I don't think that that's biological.
Did you find anything on the shirt collar? Yeah, maybe.
Come check it out.
We're thinking that whatever's on their skin got transferred from their shirts.
I know the military's been working on chemical trackers.
And Donner's all about chemicals.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Some kind of metallic isotope.
What do you use metallic isotopes for? All kinds of things.
Geochemical tracers, bar codes.
Tracking.
Yeah, it must've gotten into his shirt from some kind of dry cleaning solvent.
GREGORIO: And Donner can easily figure out where the marshals get their dry cleaning done.
Well, if so, then he's been tracking Emily's marshals, not Emily.
GREGORIO: Question is, how do we prove it, get Danny back before Pride does something he'll regret? SONJA: It's too late.
Pride took Donner's son.
It's the only explanation.
Wait, what? That's crazy.
Well, think about it, if you were Pride, and you were gonna do everything you can to save Danny, you'd need leverage, serious leverage.
And since there's no sign of Pride in New Orleans, it makes sense he'd go to Dallas.
To kidnap Carsen Donner? Come on.
Well, Malcolm Donner called the Dallas police, claimed his son was taken.
Car, too.
Now, that can't be a coincidence.
It has to be Pride.
And the timing works out right, too.
I mean, it takes eight hours to drive to Dallas, and based on what time Pride left Holy crap.
So, what do we do? Well, we got to find him, right? Before it's too late? SONJA: Yeah, well, good luck with that.
I mean, we're still checking rental car companies, but if Pride doesn't want to be found, he won't be.
Yeah, he's doing everything he can to keep us in the clear, protect us.
Okay, but we still have to stop him.
Open to suggestions.
All right, Sebastian? Keep trying to backtrack that dry cleaning deal.
Gregorio, call Marshal Sawyer, tell them to get rid of all their shirts in case they're being tracked.
Percy, you and I'll keep looking for Pride.
All right, come on, let's learn things, fast.
Everybody's working on it, Mr.
Donner, but so far nothing.
And the blood in the trunk? It's Carsen's, sir.
(glass shatters) 24 hours, and you still can't find my son?! Or who the hell kidnapped him? It's got to be some kind of a play.
It's got to be about the trial.
Yeah, well, who the hell is behind this, then? Huh? Where's their list of demands? What do they want?! (doorbell rings) Help you? I want to speak to Malcolm Donner.
And you are? The man who took his son.
You got balls, pal.
Let me ask you one thing, though.
What makes you think you're gonna leave here alive? Your son's life depends on it.
Maybe your father doesn't love you as much as I'd hoped.
(muffled shout) (grunts) PRIDE: When I say so, you're gonna keep walking.
Do not stop.
(tape rips) Just out of curiosity, what's this kid mean to you anyway? You wouldn't understand.
Now move.
Just so you know, this trial's over, you're all dead.
Kid, the intern, you.
You have no idea.
(huffs) (panting) (whispers): I'm sorry.
Forget about it.
You're safe now.
Yeah, it's all right.
That's all that matters.
I knew you'd find me, Dad.
Get in the car.
Come on, let's get you out of here.
(whispers): Easy.
Okay.
Might have something.
Truck rental in Broadmoor.
Three pickup rentals around the time that Pride disappeared, only one hasn't been returned yet-- cash rental.
Dark blue.
Here's the VIN.
All right, I'll hack the GPS, see if I can find it.
Yeah, go, hurry.
Good job, Percy.
Yeah.
Hold up.
Pride's on his way back to New Orleans.
How do you know? I just got off the phone with Marshal Sawyer.
Said Pride's bringing Danny back to the safe house so he can see Emily, so she'll testify.
He got Danny back? Must've traded Carsen to do it.
Emily's flight to Dallas leaves at 5:00.
Sawyer said Pride might be able to make it in time.
Okay, so, what? So that's it, then? We're all good? Hey, what's the matter? I don't know.
I mean, something just doesn't add up.
No disrespect to Pride, but Malcolm Donner doesn't strike me as a guy to make a trade like that, lose everything he's got.
Unless he actually thought Pride was gonna hurt his son.
I mean, still, the man's desperate, proven to do anything he can to keep Emily from testifying: kill her roommate, kidnap Danny Track and kill those marshals.
What if Donner let Pride get Danny back? Why would he let him? So he could track him.
SONJA: If so, Pride has no idea he's leading Donner right to Emily.
Why'd you stop? Isn't the safe house up there? PRIDE: Yeah.
Something wrong? You've been pretty quiet on the car ride over here.
Are you mad at me? Huh? No, no.
No, I'm not mad at you.
No, just All I could think about, all I wanted was to get you back.
Yeah, well, thank God you did.
I didn't think about anything else.
Blocked everything and everyone out.
Think they've been following us or something? I mean, you've been checking the whole time.
Did you tell Donner you were gonna see Emily afterwards? I think so.
Oh I screwed up.
(rapid gunfire) Get out! Stay down, Danny! (siren wailing) (siren wailing) PRIDE: You all right? - Huh? You okay? - Mm-hmm.
I'm all right.
Everything all right? All clear.
Anyone hurt? No, we're good.
We're we're all good, thanks.
You saved our butts.
Emily! Danny! It's okay.
It's okay now.
You did it, King.
You better hurry, son.
You got two minutes.
She's got a plane to catch.
I don't know how you did it, but you did it.
SAWYER: Come on, let's go.
EMILY: I love you.
No, I didn't.
I almost got him killed.
(piano playing gentle melody) I figured I'd find you here.
Yeah.
Well, I was just trying to do everything I could to avoid you is all.
I just obviously failed miserably.
You think I'm still mad at you, do you? Aren't you? Well, I, I was.
I must've been the maddest I've ever been, I admit.
I know, I saw.
Look, Loretta, I'm sorry.
You saved Danny, Dwayne.
Honestly, I don't think anyone else could have.
So don't be sorry.
But because of me, Danny ran off hotheaded, tried to do it all by himself.
Just like you said.
You were right.
Yeah, but Loretta, you know as well as I do that just because it all worked out, doesn't mean that everything's okay.
You're a good man, Dwayne, and a good father, and Danny's lucky to have you in his life.
And you should never minimize that.
Plus, because of who you are, that Donner, he's in jail now.
And that's a good thing.
I know.
I know it is.
I just You don't I lost myself again Loretta, in-in my doing whatever it is I think I have to do to make things right.
Like I did with Hamilton; with the others.
I just I just don't know why.
So, what you gonna do about it? I'm actually glad you called me before I called you, Agent Pride.
Frankly, after what just happened, HQ's concerned.
Yeah? Yeah.
So am I.
(saxophone continues playing) (music playing faintly on radio) Hey.
I've got an angel Emily? Somewhere, somehow Hey, Emily? (grunting) Emily! Emily? (phone beeps) (panting) Pride, it's me.
Something terrible's happened.
NCIS:New Orleans 4x08 Sins of the Father Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
SERGEANT GORDON: All I'm saying is kid should've called 911 first, Pride, then you.
I know he's a sailor, but still.
It's a murder scene.
Could look like he's looking for cover.
Not just a sailor, G, he's Loretta Wade's foster son.
- He's family.
- Still don't look good.
But captain says not to push it 'cause it's you.
Assault's NCIS.
Murder's NOPD.
Okay.
Look, I-I can't get ahold of Emily anywhere.
Uh, she's not answering my text messages or my calls.
Danny, come on, come on.
You need to get that cut of yours tended to.
She called me at 11:00, right before she got off work.
She said she was coming straight home, but she wasn't here.
You got here what, about midnight? Yeah, just before then, which means Emily should've been here by then.
But then when I saw what happened to her roommate Why can't we find her? Okay, what if something happened to Emily, too? No, no, no.
Don't jump to conclusions, son.
We got a BOLO out on Emily, I sent her picture to Sebastian.
Danny.
Danny, what happened? Are you all right? God, you're hurt.
Think this needs to be stitched up right away.
Just forget it, I'm fine, Mom.
You can take him if you want.
He's been swabbed and whatnot.
Let's keep the captain in the loop.
Call me, I'll call you.
- Thanks, G.
- Okay.
When did you get back from deployment? Yesterday.
Yesterday? Why didn't you call? What am I, 12? Loretta, why don't you get him to the hospital? Okay? Get him looked at.
I'm gonna be here for a while.
Wha-What about Emily? Who's Emily? I know she's in trouble, okay? I-I can't, I can't tell you how, I just, I just know.
What do you mean? How do you know? Look, I knew she was scared about something, or someone, but every time she came close to telling me, s-she wouldn't.
It's like she couldn't.
I need you to find her, Dwayne, I need you to make sure that she's okay, please.
I'll do everything I can, Danny, I promise.
Thank you.
Okay.
All right.
Go with your mama, get fixed up, let me get to work.
(softly): Okay.
LASALLE: Front door was kicked open, assailant caught our victim, Lauren Danskin, by surprise coming out of the kitchen.
Apparently, she's roommates with Danny's girlfriend, Emily Birch.
I got Sebastian doing background checks, and looking into area surveillance.
GREGORIO: Fully clothed, no sign of sexual assault.
Looks like she put up a pretty good fight, though.
PRIDE: A lot of blood.
Any idea on cause of death? Yeah, pretty sure it's a knife to the back of her neck.
Look, straight up to the brainstem.
I mean, that's not luck.
That's taught.
Killer knew what he was doing.
Yeah, there's torture marks, too.
Didn't kill her right away.
Why? SONJA: Doesn't look like anything was taken from either of the bedrooms.
Jewelry, laptops, TVs, money-- this definitely wasn't a home invasion.
What do you think, King? I'm thinking Danny's lucky to be alive.
How is he? He's worried about his girlfriend.
Can't say I blame him.
Mm.
At least there's no sign Emily was here at the time of the attack, or that she was taken.
Doesn't mean that the killer didn't come for Emily, though.
Victim was tortured for some reason, maybe for answers-- answers Danny's counting on us to find out.
And we know how much Danny means to you, King.
We'll find her.
We better.
Have you heard anything from Dwayne yet? Let's just focus on you now.
All done.
Oh.
Thank you, Doctor.
Why didn't you tell me you were here from shore leave? I'm sorry, Mom.
I meant to.
Just didn't have any time; I wanted to see Emily.
Okay.
All right, I understand that.
But you also understand I'm your mother, and I'm gonna give you crap for not calling.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Just worried.
It's okay.
Well, when did you meet Emily? Um, February, I think, at Mardi Gras.
Mardi Gras? Well, all right, then.
How well do you know her? Why are you asking this? I'm asking because I'm trying to find out how much you know about her so we can help find her.
The more, the better.
Who her friends are.
Does she have family here? Someone she would go to if she were scared? She'd go to me.
Okay.
But when you're out to sea, who would she go to? What are her hobbies or people she visits, things she likes to do? What do you know about her, Danny? I know I love her.
And I know I'll do anything it takes to protect her.
What? You sound like Dwayne.
(chuckles softly) SEBASTIAN: Not a lot of surveillance cameras in Emily's neighborhood, unfortunately, and the ones that I did find don't show much more than silhouetted figures.
I'm sorry.
Sorry's not good enough.
We got a killer on the loose, possible target in Emily Birch.
Patton's at his mom's.
Can you work his facial recognition software? Should I? No, I got it.
Okay.
Well, expand your search.
See if you can find a match on Emily anywhere.
All right.
What more do we know about her roommate? Nothing that indicates a motive for murder.
And NOPD's drawing blanks, too.
Lauren Danskin, Shreveport, UNO, scholar athlete.
Never been in trouble.
Not even a parking ticket.
There's not much on Danny's girlfriend, either.
Then we're missing something.
Emily's roommate was obviously killed for some reason.
Well, you didn't let me finish.
The fact that there's not much on Emily could be a reason.
LASALLE: Yeah, Gregorio's right, King.
Both of us have done a deep dive, and so far all we got is a driver's license and a credit card, both issued to Emily Birch earlier this year.
Only job was working at the Erin Rose Bar, also just this year.
SONJA: Yeah.
What about before that? GREGORIO: Well, that's just it.
There's nothing.
No address, no car registration, medical records, social media.
Nothing.
LASALLE: Yeah, it's as if Emily didn't even exist before this year.
Then we got to find out why.
Excuse me.
Special Agent Pride? Can I help you? I'm Dr.
Christo.
From Telegraph Road? I'm the one whose calls you've been ducking the last several days.
What's Telegraph Road? Office of the Director of NCIS.
Sorry, Dr.
Christo.
Been a little busy down here.
I'm sure you understand.
Absolutely, which is why I thought I'd stop by in person.
See if we could finally connect.
Well, it's a long way from Quantico just to, uh, "stop by"" Do you have a minute, Agent Pride? Actually, now's not the best time, either.
Sorry, maybe I was being too polite.
You don't really have a choice.
Follow me.
When we're done, I want to know everything there is to know about Emily Birch before Loretta and Danny show up.
SONJA: Copy that.
Dr.
Christo? Looks like HQ sent over a shrink.
Behavior Science Group Therapist, I believe is the official title.
Yeah, but I thought we were done with HQ.
I thought Pride got cleared.
Apparently not.
CHRISTO: I apologize if this is awkward for you, Agent Pride.
Not awkward for me, Dr.
Christo.
Unnecessary.
Well, it's not unnecessary as far as the director's concerned.
Well, I've done everything the director asked.
Signed a personal improvement plan.
Kept HQ apprised on cases.
Filled out forms.
Right.
But you haven't dealt with what got you in trouble in the first place.
What drove you to risk your career, your life, to take down Mayor Hamilton.
And that's what I'm here to help you figure out.
Well, there's nothing to figure out.
It happened.
It's over.
Hamilton's in prison, and that is that.
Now, if you don't mind, I would seriously like to get back to work.
How long do you think you can keep running from this? I mean, you're a smart man.
You've got an outstanding record, one of the best I've ever seen.
You must know that you have some kind of problem.
There's got to be some reason you take cases too personally sometimes, go off book, disobey orders.
All because you feel compelled to get justice any way you can.
That's my job, Dr.
Christo.
Part of it, maybe, but not all of it.
There is something else driving you, something deeper.
It's the only explanation, and the problem is it's only getting worse, which means if you don't do something about it and soon Oh, give me a break! What do you know? (scoffs) What do you know about me? What do you care? I care because NCIS cares.
You are a valuable asset, Agent Pride.
NCIS needs you.
I'm flattered.
And they're not about to watch you self-destruct without doing everything they can to try to keep that from happening.
I am not the bad guy, Agent Pride.
I'm just here to help you.
I don't need help.
(knocking on door) - Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but - Yeah.
Sebastian just found Emily.
PRIDE: What'd you find? Security camera from the bar where Emily works, time stamp is just after 11:00 last night.
That's 45 minutes before Danny was attacked.
That's Emily Birch.
I matched her to a photo that Danny sent.
Hit play.
GREGORIO: She was abducted, Pride.
Before she came home.
Well, that doesn't make sense.
Then what was the killer doing at Emily's apartment after she was taken? Yeah, and why kill the roommate? Did you find her yet? Is Emily okay? (whistling) Do you have any leads? I mean, do you have any idea where Emily is? I-I don't understand why somebody would take her.
It would help if we knew a little bit more about her.
I'm just saying, Danny.
If there's something that you haven't told us I'm not withholding anything.
Why would I? I would do anything for her.
Dwayne, what would you do if it was somebody that you loved? What am I supposed to do? You need to let us do our jobs.
Okay.
I know you're upset, but if we're gonna find Emily, we need to all stay focused.
What do you mean, "if"? Tea? Seriously, Mom? Agent Pride.
PRIDE: Dr.
Christo, please, this I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna go.
I don't want to get in the way.
I'll call you.
Just make sure you answer.
- Who was that? - It doesn't matter.
- Look, Dwayne, there has to be some - All right, listen to me, Danny.
You trust me, right? Of course I do.
Okay.
Then you know I'm gonna do whatever it takes to find Emily, okay? To do that, I'm gonna need your help.
You saw the man who attacked you.
Yes? Yes.
Okay.
Sebastian and Christopher are in Patton's office, looking for the van that took Emily.
I want you to go in there and give them a description of the assailant, as detailed as you can remember it, too.
Tell them they need to try and find a match.
You understand? I understand.
Okay, good.
Go.
He looks up to you, you know.
He has from the moment I adopted him.
You're like the father he never really had.
And he's become more like you than you know.
I'm not gonna let him down, Loretta.
I'm not worried about you letting him down.
I'm worried about him keeping his head, trying to do too much, like his father.
I have to go to work.
Keep an eye on him.
Where are we? We got a BOLO out on the van and Chris and Sebastian are checking traffic cams.
What about Emily? Know anything more about her yet? No, nothing, and we've been digging, too.
We cross-checked with FBI, NCIC, NamUs Oh, we might have something.
NOPD got a possible on our BOLO.
Black van in Central City.
We only got a partial plate from Sebastian's video, but it matches.
PRIDE: Okay.
Gregorio, you're with me.
Sonja, keep digging.
Tell Christopher and Sebastian to keep an eye on Danny.
Will do.
PRIDE: Let's go! DANNY: Anything yet? What about Emily? I mean, she-she should've shown up somewhere, right? Look, I know this is hard, Danny, but it's a process, one we've been through many times.
All right? We know what we're doing.
I know.
I'm just scared.
Okay? I know the longer it takes to find her It may feel like a long time, but it hasn't been, not from an investigator's standpoint.
You think she's all right? Honestly, we don't know.
But the good news is since Emily was taken, hey, that gives us hope.
Right, 'cause it means that they-they obviously, they want something from her.
But what could anybody possibly want from Emily? You know what, I'm-a call Dwayne.
Maybe he's found something.
Look, Danny, he-he would've called by now if he had.
Look, you got to trust us.
Yeah, and you got to trust Pride.
He's doing everything that he can.
Yeah, I hope so.
Look, I know he's been in trouble lately.
I know he's been going off book.
I know he's been breaking the rules.
Okay? Mom told me.
- What's that got to do with - It's got everything to do with it, especially if he's more concerned about keeping his job than he is about finding Emily.
I'm-I'm sorry.
I'm just so frustrated.
I'm gonna get some air.
(phone beeps) PRIDE: Watch the door.
I'll check the van.
It's clear.
Pride, pretty high-tech security for a travel agency.
NCIS! Get your hands up now.
Get them up now! All right, all right, easy.
We're not who you think we are.
And who do we think you are? May I? U.
S.
Marshals.
Wait, hold up.
You guys are the ones that took Emily? Emily? Emily who? We don't have time for your games, all right? Woman's been murdered, my sailor's been attacked, and that black van in the alley, we know it was used to take Emily Birch.
Now, I want to know why now! All I can tell you is we got wind of an attempt, so we had to move her fast.
That's it.
GREGORIO: "Attempt"? What do you mean "attempt"? Why would she be in danger? Emily's WITSEC.
Isn't she? You're part of her protection detail.
That's why you're set up here, so you can keep an eye on her.
Oh, well, that makes sense.
Emily Birch isn't her real name.
It's the name WITSEC gave her, huh? Which is why we couldn't find any record of her existing before this year.
Her real identity was erased.
All right, congratulations.
You figured it out.
Now, do you mind? No, we're not going anywhere until you tell us who's after Emily because whoever it is is undoubtedly responsible for attacking our sailor.
MALE MARSHAL: Trust me.
Your sailor doesn't matter nearly as much as Emily.
He matters to me.
SAWYER: All right, with all due respect, our only job is to keep Emily safe until she testifies against somebody DOJ has been trying to bring down for years.
Who? We can't say.
(scoffs) We can't say because we've been compromised.
Somehow, the target keeps figuring out where Emily is.
How? We don't know.
But all the more reason to get Emily to court so she can bring that bastard down once and for all, whatever it takes.
(phone ringing) Danny, you okay? (gunshots) They're shooting at us, Dwayne.
They're trying to kill Emily.
Emily? What do you mean? What's happening? Who's shooting at you? (siren wailing) (whispers): Pride.
Cover me.
(crying) It's Emily! Emily, hey.
NCIS.
I'm a federal agent.
You okay? You're okay.
Listen to me.
Where's Danny? (crying): He hid me after they attacked.
Then he ran off to distract them.
I think they took him.
I think they took Danny! Okay (crying): I shouldn't have called Danny.
But I was scared and I knew that he'd be worried about what happened to me.
Not your fault, Emily.
But I need your help to find him.
Keep going.
You called Danny.
He came to your safe house.
The marshals, they got really mad, tried to get him to leave.
That's when those men showed up, too.
Men who are after you? I gave your agents the best description I could, but they started shooting the marshals, so Danny told me he needed to get them away from the house, away from me.
I saw them get shot, killed.
I was just copying documents.
I was just an intern.
I don't even know what I was looking at.
All right, all right, an intern where? Who were you working for? Is that who you're testifying against? SAWYER: Don't answer that.
I told you, it's classified.
Classified? Those men killed two of your marshals.
They took my best friend's son.
I can't get him back unless I know who the hell I'm chasing.
I'm sorry, but my only job is to get Emily to court in two days.
Period.
Danny risked his life to save you.
You have to help me save him.
SAWYER: Come on, we've got another safe house.
Let's go.
Leave the phone.
Wait.
I'm not going anywhere until I know Danny's safe.
Good.
And I'm not testifying, either! PRIDE: Okay, tell me who took him.
Emily, listen to me.
Listen to me.
They're not gonna hurt Daniel.
They only took him to get to you.
Listen to me.
Once you testify You really think that they're gonna just let him go after everything they've already done? This goes all the way up to the Office of the Attorney General, Agent Pride.
I am under strict orders and so are you.
And yes, that's a warning.
Let's go, kid.
What's going on, King? We're gonna find Danny, that's what.
Emily's burner.
Have Sebastian tear it apart.
See if it's how they found her.
If so, maybe he can reverse track it back to them.
Do we even know who they are yet? No.
The marshals won't say.
So we need to figure out where he is fast.
SEBASTIAN: I might have something.
Does the name Donner International mean anything to anyone? Donner in Dallas? One in the same.
SONJA: I remember this guy from ATF.
Malcolm Donner.
We kept trying to nail him on chemical weapons charges.
How come you didn't? 'Cause every time we got close, witnesses would disappear.
SEBASTIAN: No doubt thanks to this guy, Mateo Hyder.
He's listed as a VP, but he's got a record a mile long.
Danny gave us a few key details that helped us find a match on facial recognition.
So, that's Danny's attacker? And no doubt, the guy who took him, too.
Tell me about Donner.
I'm pulling it up now.
Malcolm Donner, made his fortune manufacturing weapons for the military, but he decided he could make even more money trafficking the weapons internationally.
LASALLE: Then what? Escalated to chemical weapons? SONJA: Not that ATF was able to prove.
PRIDE: But DOJ obviously thinks they can.
Thanks to whatever Emily saw when she was working for Donner.
LASALLE: Here it is.
"U.
S.
v.
Malcolm Donner, 11 counts of trafficking, including chemical weapons sales to Syria.
" Trial begins Thursday, U.
S.
District Court in Dallas.
Two days.
Who is that, his son? Yeah, that's Carsen Donner.
Apparently, they're inseparable.
GREGORIO: Listen.
They're not gonna do anything to Danny.
They need him to get Emily.
Marshals aren't gonna let them get anywhere near Emily again.
Which means if we don't get Danny Check into traffic cameras between here and Dallas.
Tap into security cameras around Donner's work and house.
Get me everything you can on him, okay? Where are you going? Tell Loretta what happened.
Loretta.
Hmm.
All I can say is, those people sure did a number on these poor souls.
Emily is lucky she got out of there alive.
How is she? Scared.
They took her to another safe house.
Well, still, at least she's all right.
Danny will be relieved.
Danny was the one who saved her.
What do you mean, Danny saved her? Loretta.
W-What happened? W-Where is he? Emily texted Danny.
He left without telling anybody to go see her, and that's when they a-attacked.
Attacked? What are you talking about? Is he all right, is he hurt? They took him, Loretta.
And I promise you, I swear to God No! No, no, no, no! This can't be happening.
How could you let this happen? How could you let him do that? I didn't, I thought You're supposed to stop him, Dwayne.
See, I told you that he was becoming too much like you.
I warned you that he might do something stupid, try to take on the world all by himself.
Like you.
I promise, I won't let anything happen to Danny Something's already happened, damn it, and it's your fault! Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, Dwayne.
This is on you.
This is all on you.
And I don't care how you do it, you'd better get my son back.
You hear me? (door closes) Talk to me.
What do we know? What? They sent us a message, King.
On Emily's burner.
To us.
And? MAN: If she testifies, he dies.
No.
Don't listen to them, Dwayne.
Don't give them Emily.
Please.
You able to trace it to Donner? No.
SONJA: But Emily won't testify unless Danny's safe, right? That's what she said.
What are we gonna do, Pride? You're not gonna do anything.
King.
What are you thinking? I'm getting Danny back.
Well, hold on, we're going with you.
No! LAWYER: I'm telling you, Mr.
Donner, if she does testify, we have no defense.
Do you understand me? And prison's (scoffs) not the only thing you'll need to worry about, either.
(laughs) The entire company's going down, too.
Will you CARSEN: Hey! If Dad says, "Don't worry about it," don't worry about it.
Thank you, son.
See? He knows what he's talking about.
(phone beeps) What? What's the matter? It's my Maserati.
I've got an app that tells me when the valets move it more than 500 feet.
It's unbelievable.
(chuckles softly) What the hell? You Carsen Donner? Yeah.
Who the hell are you? Where's Danny Malloy? Where is he? Where's Danny? Where is he? What did you do to him? What the hell is (coughing, screaming) I'm awake, I'm awake! (panting, coughing) (laughing): Oh Oh, my dad's gonna kill you for this.
Then I don't have anything to lose, do I? Last chance.
Where's Danny? You really think that this is gonna save that friend? That bitch intern? It better, or you're a dead man.
You're bluffing.
You're what, some kind of cop, right? You can threaten me all you like, but you can't hurt me.
They'd crucify you! Ow! But I'd still be alive.
(shouts, screams) I'll do anything to save Danny, you understand me? (crying) Danny dies, you die.
(phone beeps) Please, Dad (crying continues) What are you doing? What's going on? Busted.
We can explain.
Well, you'd better, because I'm not in the mood.
Listen, Doc, we know you're upset.
We get it.
But we're not just trying to find Danny now.
Yeah, we're trying to find Pride, too.
Why? What happened? He left, last night, on his own.
Went looking for Danny; we don't know how or where.
He didn't take his car.
So now, we're not only trying to save Danny, we're trying to save Dwayne, too? Must've been too hard on him.
GREGORIO: Hey, no.
Your son went missing.
You had every right.
It's just, now How can I help? Well, actually, we might've already found something.
We keep racking our brains trying to figure out how Donner keeps finding Emily.
Hoping maybe we could backtrack it to Donner, prove that he's behind it all.
And get to Danny before Dwayne goes too far.
Frankly, yeah.
Your autopsy says that this is a rash, but I-I don't think that that's biological.
Did you find anything on the shirt collar? Yeah, maybe.
Come check it out.
We're thinking that whatever's on their skin got transferred from their shirts.
I know the military's been working on chemical trackers.
And Donner's all about chemicals.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Some kind of metallic isotope.
What do you use metallic isotopes for? All kinds of things.
Geochemical tracers, bar codes.
Tracking.
Yeah, it must've gotten into his shirt from some kind of dry cleaning solvent.
GREGORIO: And Donner can easily figure out where the marshals get their dry cleaning done.
Well, if so, then he's been tracking Emily's marshals, not Emily.
GREGORIO: Question is, how do we prove it, get Danny back before Pride does something he'll regret? SONJA: It's too late.
Pride took Donner's son.
It's the only explanation.
Wait, what? That's crazy.
Well, think about it, if you were Pride, and you were gonna do everything you can to save Danny, you'd need leverage, serious leverage.
And since there's no sign of Pride in New Orleans, it makes sense he'd go to Dallas.
To kidnap Carsen Donner? Come on.
Well, Malcolm Donner called the Dallas police, claimed his son was taken.
Car, too.
Now, that can't be a coincidence.
It has to be Pride.
And the timing works out right, too.
I mean, it takes eight hours to drive to Dallas, and based on what time Pride left Holy crap.
So, what do we do? Well, we got to find him, right? Before it's too late? SONJA: Yeah, well, good luck with that.
I mean, we're still checking rental car companies, but if Pride doesn't want to be found, he won't be.
Yeah, he's doing everything he can to keep us in the clear, protect us.
Okay, but we still have to stop him.
Open to suggestions.
All right, Sebastian? Keep trying to backtrack that dry cleaning deal.
Gregorio, call Marshal Sawyer, tell them to get rid of all their shirts in case they're being tracked.
Percy, you and I'll keep looking for Pride.
All right, come on, let's learn things, fast.
Everybody's working on it, Mr.
Donner, but so far nothing.
And the blood in the trunk? It's Carsen's, sir.
(glass shatters) 24 hours, and you still can't find my son?! Or who the hell kidnapped him? It's got to be some kind of a play.
It's got to be about the trial.
Yeah, well, who the hell is behind this, then? Huh? Where's their list of demands? What do they want?! (doorbell rings) Help you? I want to speak to Malcolm Donner.
And you are? The man who took his son.
You got balls, pal.
Let me ask you one thing, though.
What makes you think you're gonna leave here alive? Your son's life depends on it.
Maybe your father doesn't love you as much as I'd hoped.
(muffled shout) (grunts) PRIDE: When I say so, you're gonna keep walking.
Do not stop.
(tape rips) Just out of curiosity, what's this kid mean to you anyway? You wouldn't understand.
Now move.
Just so you know, this trial's over, you're all dead.
Kid, the intern, you.
You have no idea.
(huffs) (panting) (whispers): I'm sorry.
Forget about it.
You're safe now.
Yeah, it's all right.
That's all that matters.
I knew you'd find me, Dad.
Get in the car.
Come on, let's get you out of here.
(whispers): Easy.
Okay.
Might have something.
Truck rental in Broadmoor.
Three pickup rentals around the time that Pride disappeared, only one hasn't been returned yet-- cash rental.
Dark blue.
Here's the VIN.
All right, I'll hack the GPS, see if I can find it.
Yeah, go, hurry.
Good job, Percy.
Yeah.
Hold up.
Pride's on his way back to New Orleans.
How do you know? I just got off the phone with Marshal Sawyer.
Said Pride's bringing Danny back to the safe house so he can see Emily, so she'll testify.
He got Danny back? Must've traded Carsen to do it.
Emily's flight to Dallas leaves at 5:00.
Sawyer said Pride might be able to make it in time.
Okay, so, what? So that's it, then? We're all good? Hey, what's the matter? I don't know.
I mean, something just doesn't add up.
No disrespect to Pride, but Malcolm Donner doesn't strike me as a guy to make a trade like that, lose everything he's got.
Unless he actually thought Pride was gonna hurt his son.
I mean, still, the man's desperate, proven to do anything he can to keep Emily from testifying: kill her roommate, kidnap Danny Track and kill those marshals.
What if Donner let Pride get Danny back? Why would he let him? So he could track him.
SONJA: If so, Pride has no idea he's leading Donner right to Emily.
Why'd you stop? Isn't the safe house up there? PRIDE: Yeah.
Something wrong? You've been pretty quiet on the car ride over here.
Are you mad at me? Huh? No, no.
No, I'm not mad at you.
No, just All I could think about, all I wanted was to get you back.
Yeah, well, thank God you did.
I didn't think about anything else.
Blocked everything and everyone out.
Think they've been following us or something? I mean, you've been checking the whole time.
Did you tell Donner you were gonna see Emily afterwards? I think so.
Oh I screwed up.
(rapid gunfire) Get out! Stay down, Danny! (siren wailing) (siren wailing) PRIDE: You all right? - Huh? You okay? - Mm-hmm.
I'm all right.
Everything all right? All clear.
Anyone hurt? No, we're good.
We're we're all good, thanks.
You saved our butts.
Emily! Danny! It's okay.
It's okay now.
You did it, King.
You better hurry, son.
You got two minutes.
She's got a plane to catch.
I don't know how you did it, but you did it.
SAWYER: Come on, let's go.
EMILY: I love you.
No, I didn't.
I almost got him killed.
(piano playing gentle melody) I figured I'd find you here.
Yeah.
Well, I was just trying to do everything I could to avoid you is all.
I just obviously failed miserably.
You think I'm still mad at you, do you? Aren't you? Well, I, I was.
I must've been the maddest I've ever been, I admit.
I know, I saw.
Look, Loretta, I'm sorry.
You saved Danny, Dwayne.
Honestly, I don't think anyone else could have.
So don't be sorry.
But because of me, Danny ran off hotheaded, tried to do it all by himself.
Just like you said.
You were right.
Yeah, but Loretta, you know as well as I do that just because it all worked out, doesn't mean that everything's okay.
You're a good man, Dwayne, and a good father, and Danny's lucky to have you in his life.
And you should never minimize that.
Plus, because of who you are, that Donner, he's in jail now.
And that's a good thing.
I know.
I know it is.
I just You don't I lost myself again Loretta, in-in my doing whatever it is I think I have to do to make things right.
Like I did with Hamilton; with the others.
I just I just don't know why.
So, what you gonna do about it? I'm actually glad you called me before I called you, Agent Pride.
Frankly, after what just happened, HQ's concerned.
Yeah? Yeah.
So am I.
