The Third Man
ETHAN: Previously on Rogue Where's the chip, Ethan? (GASPS) REGAN: This morning, we didn't know who these people were.
Now you're in with them.
You're essentially an undercover operative.
Yeah.
JONES: (OVER PHONE) Go to Cardello's on Union.
CLEA: Why do I recognize that name? ETHAN: Same restaurant that Oaks sent me to.
You work your way up the ladder.
That way, when we move in to make arrests, our case is iron-fucking-clad.
I need a bus at 1545 Charteris Lane.
Double homicide.
I'm in pursuit of the suspect.
(LOUD EXPLOSION) What's happening? I don't know.
There's been some kind of explosion.
The Hoover Building on Union.
Turn the car around and drive.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: (ON TV) What we know so far is that a bomb ripped through the building at approximately 5:15 this afternoon.
Authorities have released footage of what they believe to be a suspect in today's bombing.
The suspect is Ethan Kelly, a former Army Ranger who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
(THEME SONG PLAYING) Authorities have named former Army Ranger Ethan Kelly as the prime suspect in today's bombing of the Hoover Federal Building in downtown San Francisco.
(NEWSCASTER CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) (SIRENS WAILING) Take your second right up ahead.
I got out of my car and boom, there was this almighty explosion.
Almost knocked me off my feet (STAMMERS) There was like dust everywhere, and charred paper started floating down all around me and then I heard this woman screaming and I wanted to try and help her Excuse me, I need to speak to somebody.
- (STAMMERS) My family - Just find a seat, sir.
We'll be with you as soon as we can.
Okay? Well, I You didn't say nothin' about blowing up no building.
The whole fucking restaurant! Three floors.
They're saying over 30 people dead.
Keep your voice down.
Shut the How can you be so fucking calm? - Did you know? - No, I didn't know.
And neither did you.
That's how this thing works.
Plausible deniability.
And what happens when they haul this Kelly guy in for questioning? He saw my face, not yours.
He's never gonna make it to the precinct.
- He's gonna be DOA.
- And if he's not? What's he got on you? Nothin'.
He knows my goddamn name! He knows your first name.
He sold you some dope.
I hate to break it to you, but you're not that unique.
And what happens if they have me on camera? You You have to talk to the bosses.
Oh, you want me to talk to the bosses? Okay, sure, I'll call 'em up right after I blow my own brains out.
Let me tell you something about these people.
The minute you come to them with a problem, you are the problem.
You get my drift? Fuck! (LINE RINGING) Hey, Clea, it's me.
Call me on this number when you get it, will you? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) Have you ever read the book The Marathon Man? Everybody's seen the film.
They always talk about that scene.
Is it safe? But the description of torture in the book, the detail Goldman goes into, the touch and taste.
The smell of fear.
Now that's That's something else.
That's Art.
You saw him head south on Pedro Street, ma'am? What time was this? And where was this, sir? Market Street and Eighth? Thank you.
Authorities are now saying they have found traces of the explosive C4 in a bar belonging to Ethan Kelly.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: Police are reporting that Ethan Kelly We got a ping on his phone.
We got a location on Kelly's phone.
(SIREN BLARING) - On the ground! - (GASPS) On the ground now! Face down! (WHIMPERING) They thought they had him, but Kelly dumped his phone.
It's only a matter of time before Kelly's picked up.
I want him resisting arrest.
He doesn't even make it to the precinct.
(GRUNTS) What the fuck! You and I are gonna have a little talk.
- I don't know anything, man.
- Really? I didn't know the building was gonna blow.
Don't fucking move.
What the fuck you doing? What the fuck? I don't have a lot of time, so I'm gonna make this quick.
You have until this light goes off to tell me what I wanna fucking know.
You hear me? (PANTING) - You listening to me? - Yes, sir.
Yeah? Who planted the bomb? Was it you? No.
- (SIZZLING) - Who planted the bomb, Mekhi? I don't know, I swear! I didn't know anything about it.
(STAMMERS) They told me to meet you.
- That's all I know.
- Who told you? Who's giving you orders? They'll kill me, man.
(HISSING) - You wanna play games? - (SCREAMING) (SOBBING) You better tell me what I want to know, Mekhi.
Don't fuck with me.
I'll burn your goddamn face off.
(SHRIEKS) Okay! Soto, man.
(STAMMERS) Cody Soto.
He's a cop! Southern Division.
That's all I know, I swear to God, man.
He tells me what to do, I don't ask.
That's all I know, please! - (PANTING) - (TURNS IRON OFF) Fuck! Where's your piece? Over there, in the fucking cabinet! In the fucking cabinet! I found you once.
I'll fucking find you again.
You hear me? (SOBBING) (WAILING) (DIALING) (LINE RINGING) (SIGHS) Hey, Clea, it's me again.
I got a name.
Call me.
Where are you? (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) Detective Clea Annou.
What kind of name is that? That's okay.
You don't have to answer.
That's just me being nosey.
I'm always surprised about how people aren't more interested in the etymology of their own name.
Well, you're not here to listen to me waffle on.
(GRUNTS AND COUGHS) (PANTING) Why are you following me? MULLEN: Come on, Miss Faulkner.
Cooperate here.
How am I not cooperating? Ethan Kelly signed into this building several times and each time, he put you down as his contact.
Yes, he did.
I'm not denying that.
So what was the nature of his visits? We were at law school together.
When he came to town, he looked me up.
Were you two romantically involved? In the past, yes.
Not recently.
Okay.
Did he want to pick up where you left off? Something like that.
Well, did you? What? Start dating him again? Like I told him, we were friends.
Is that why you're protecting him like this? I'm not protecting him.
I just don't happen to think he's behind the bombing.
He's a war hero, for Christ's sake.
So was Timothy McVeigh.
(CLEARS THROAT) Look, Regan, you're a crucial part of the team here.
Bright future ahead of you.
Why would you want to jeopardize all of that, not to mention your liberty, by protecting this guy? MULLEN: So I'm going to ask you again.
What was the nature of your business with Ethan Kelly? - (BOTH GRUNT) - (GROANS) (SCREAMING) Fuck! (PANTING) Why are you following me? (LAUGHS) You know one thing I can't figure out, is why the fuck Theresa Archer is giving you orders directly? Laurie Gage, owner of Gage Rare Books, and a contract killer for the fucking Ombello Group.
I know you fucking killed that little girl, I know you killed her mother, and I know Theresa gave you the orders to do it! But why isn't she going through an intermediary? You guys have a history? Were you fucking each other back in Baghdad? (GRUNTS) (COUGHING) You've been asking the wrong question, Laurie.
The question isn't why I was following you.
The question is who else have I told about everything I fucking know? Go on kill me.
Fucking kill me.
You're never going to get the answer to that one.
- Is that her? - (BEEP) Tell her you should be keeping me alive.
At least for now.
(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON PHONE) Tell her.
Go on.
Tell her.
Give me a moment.
You haven't checked in.
Should I be concerned? - Define "concerned.
" - Don't fuck with me, Laurie.
Is the accountant's deal closed? - I'm afraid not.
- Excuse me? - I lost him.
- Jesus Christ.
And you didn't think to inform me? He disappeared into the Southern Division.
I couldn't exactly follow him.
(LAUGHS) This just gets better.
I ran into a problem.
Care to be a little more specific? Have you ever come across a detective by the name of Clea Annou? I'll take that as a yes.
I'm at the factory now with her.
Perhaps it would be better if we spoke about this in person.
I'm coming down.
Fuck! (SCREAMING) (SIGHS) Going to need a new phone.
I'll have one sent up.
Who do we have at Southern? Officer Cody Soto.
Ben Olson is there.
Get that taken care of.
CLEA: What'd she say? Was she mad? You fucked up, right? Oof! Can't be nice having the boss yell at you.
Shut up.
You guys weren't fucking, were you? You wanted to.
You did.
(CHUCKLES) Who wouldn't? But why would she look at a guy like you? Look at you.
You're a fucking misfit.
Why the fuck would she fuck the help if it looked like you? Shut your fucking mouth! - (GRUNTS) - (GROANS) (MUFFLED GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) (CHOKING) (PANTING) - (SIRENS BLARING) - (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) (LINE RINGING) Hey, it's me.
Regan? Yeah.
I'm here.
You know I didn't do it, right? I never thought you did.
Not for a minute.
- You okay? - No.
Not really.
(CHUCKLES) Stupid question.
Hey, have you heard from Clea? - I'm looking for her.
- No.
Nothing.
Hmm.
Well, I got something.
A name.
Can you meet me? Yeah.
You remember old Krawston's, uh, class? (CHUCKLES) Property law.
I hated it.
Yeah.
Although I kind of miss it.
We had some fun, didn't we, Regan? Yes, we did.
- Ethan? - Hmm? Be careful.
You, too.
(SIGHS) Krawston Park.
Fifth and Grant Street.
Thank you.
Come on.
You did the right thing.
Yeah? Then why doesn't it feel like it? (DOOR CLOSES) (PHONE RINGING) Mr.
Olson? I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm Officer Soto.
- Oh? - This way, please.
It's right down here.
(INAUDIBLE) (INAUDIBLE) - Here you go, Mr.
Olson.
- Thank you.
Now (SIGHS) I want you to take your time and tell me exactly what happened.
Um I, uh, I work in the Hoover Building.
Were you there today? No.
My family's sick, so I stayed home to take care of them.
(SOBBING) I know this is hard, but you have to tell me what happened.
They're after me.
I'm sorry? There was a man inside my house.
They killed my family.
I'm sorry, who killed your family? (STAMMERS) The people that bombed my office.
They're after me.
I don't even know who they are.
I just know that they're after me.
(SOBS) You gotta send somebody to my house, please.
Send Send somebody to my house.
It's 1545 Charteris Lane.
(STAMMERS) My My family is still in there.
Can you please send somebody to my house? - Okay, I will.
- Can you do it now? Please? Sir, I will.
(SOBBING) Was there anybody else in the house apart from your wife and daughter? I never said I had a daughter.
Uh, well, I assumed I just assumed (DOOR OPENS) Oh, sorry, Cody, I thought this room was open.
(SCREAMS) Shit! (METALLIC CLINK) (GRUNTS) (PANTING) (CELL PHONE RINGING) Hello.
Hello? (GROANS) (SOFTLY) Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! (UNDER BREATH) Okay, come on.
You can do this.
(EXHALES) (DIALING) It's me.
- Is it done? - It's done.
I'm looking at him right now.
The accountant isn't going to be a problem for you anymore.
(UNDER BREATH) Fuck! The deal on the accountant's closed.
That's one less headache to worry about.
This has been a long day.
(SOFTLY) Fuck! Laurie is out of commission.
- Jesus.
- Don't get me started.
We need to pick up Detective Annou as a matter of urgency.
Doesn't her father own a restaurant or something? (SIGHS) Yeah.
Yeah, the, uh, The Bay Bridge Grille over in Mission.
Well, pick him up.
We can use him as leverage.
And we're going to need the cleaners down here.
(SIGHS) (DOOR OPENS) Hello? (EXHALES) I have a gun.
Dad, you haven't had a gun in years.
Clea, what are you doing creeping around back there? You scared the living daylights out of me.
What the hell happened to you? I'm fine.
You don't look it.
You haven't come home looking like that since you took on Rosie O'Connor in the seventh grade.
Pops, listen to me.
You need to leave.
Sweetheart, you need to tell me what the hell's going on right now.
I'm in trouble.
Is this anything to do with that dirty cop? God damn it, Clea! I told you to leave it alone! Would you have left it alone when you were on the force? I didn't think so.
You are so damn pig-headed.
Yeah? Where do you think I get it from? Listen.
Remember that hunting cabin that you and Mom used to go to? It's up in Kirkwood? Yeah.
Your mother hated that place.
I need you to go there.
- Why? - Because no one's gonna look for you there, that's why.
It ain't happening.
I don't care what's going on, I'm not leaving you.
Dad, listen to me.
I love you.
You have to trust me on this.
These people that I'm dealing with, they are not gonna think twice about using you to get to me.
I need to know that you're safe, otherwise I can't do my job.
Do you understand what I am saying? Please.
(DOOR OPENS) Stay here.
ETHAN: It's me, Clea.
It's me.
Fuck.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck happened to your face? Another time.
Are you okay? Uh, still alive.
- Yeah.
- Get away from her! Dad, Dad! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've seen you all over TV.
Dad, he was set up.
Okay? He didn't do anything.
Put it down.
Trust me.
You gotta trust me on this.
I promise I'm gonna tell you everything, I just need you to go.
Please.
Pops, don't make me beg.
It's embarrassing.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Okay.
I'll go to the cabin.
Okay, thank you.
- You be careful.
- Always.
Clea, come on.
We gotta go.
Come on.
(SCOFFS) Wow.
This friend of yours sure knew how to live.
(CHUCKLES) He paid cash a month in advance and there's nothing connecting me to this place, so Some whiskey on the table if you want.
Yeah.
Here, let me, uh Let me see what we got.
Sit down.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Let's see.
Motherfucker got you good, didn't he? Mmm.
It might hurt.
(WINCES) One more here.
- Oh, God.
- There you go.
Seems like only a second ago I had something approaching a normal life.
I had a normal life too.
Once.
- It's got a kick to it.
- Yeah.
Mmm.
Yeah.
That'll do.
So, the Bookseller, he takes this guy's family.
Why? I have no idea.
Did you get a name or anything? You know what? I don't even know.
Wait, there's There's something in my car.
I'll be back.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) Authorities are now saying Ethan Kelly was recently wanted for questioning in Chicago in connection to the murder of two federal DEA agents.
It is understood that Kelly became disillusioned with the war in Iraq and found it hard to adjust to life back home after the conflict.
Motherfuckers.
Federal authorities have revealed he was a regular on online chat rooms of militias and anti-government resistance groups.
He's also believed to have quit the NRA viewing its stance on gun rights as too weak.
Unbelievable.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: It's unknown whether Kelly may have been suffering from PTSD at this time.
It doesn't appear that the suspect - has any - (CLOSES VIDEO) Look at this.
He dropped this on his way back to the house.
There's a prescription in here.
Benjamin Frederick Olson.
Let's see here.
Benjamin Olson.
He worked for the Office of Budget Management.
Federal accountants.
Looks like they audited federal agencies.
And guess where their offices are? The Hoover Building.
They were targeting federal accountants.
(SIGHS) So, Olson doesn't show up for work one day So they go visit him at his house.
- And he's not home.
- So then it all goes to shit.
Why is the Ombello Group targeting federal accountants? Maybe they uncovered something about Ombello.
Something they didn't want made public.
I need another drink.
Earlier today, I got a name.
Officer Cody Soto.
Works out of the Southern Division.
I haven't heard of him.
Well, he's connected to the bombing somehow.
Okay, well, I'll call Regan.
I can see what she can find on him.
- Nah, nah, nah.
- Why? Regan sold me out, Clea.
I called her earlier about Soto.
We arranged a meeting, I showed up and (CHUCKLES) There were feds crawling all over the fucking place.
I'm sorry.
You guys were close, right? I mean, I thought so.
All right, well, I'll call my partner, see what she can get on Soto.
You really trust her? More than Regan, apparently.
Hmm.
- Hey, Doyle, it's me.
- BETHANY: What do you need? Jesus.
What happened? You know, when this is all over, you and me, we're gonna go to Cooley's, we're gonna drink the place dry and we'll talk.
- All right.
- What'd you get on Soto? Uh, his file's on here.
He was accused by IA of planting evidence a few years back.
He worked at Bayview Station at the time, but guess who with? Captain Sleader.
Right first time.
Fuck! That's all I've got right now.
But I got a friend who works in IA.
- I'll see what he can dig up.
- Okay.
Brought you some clean clothes.
Thank you.
Your laptop and the case file like you asked.
Oh, and these came in.
Stills from the security camera, the night Jameson was killed.
You're a fucking rock star.
So I've been told.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: And today a more complete picture is emerging of the suspect, disgruntled war veteran Ethan Kelly.
Kelly started a security business in San Francisco a couple years back with some ex-army buddies, one of whom died from a fentanyl overdose, another committed suicide, and a third, Ray Williams, is missing, presumed dead.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) - Yeah.
- CLEA: It's me.
Hey.
- You doing okay? - Yeah.
Soto's file.
Thanks.
Soto was reported to IA for planting evidence, but that's all we have on him so far.
I'm still having my partner look into it.
Yeah, what do you got there? These are stills from the security camera at the restaurant the night Daniel Jameson was killed.
So we know Daniel Jameson was there.
Turns out that surgeon, Neil Everett, he was also there.
I'm just trying to connect the two.
See if we may You found something? - CLEA: So, that's Jameson.
- ETHAN: Yeah.
- Everett.
- ETHAN: Who's the third man? CLEA: I don't know.
It might be nobody.
Whoa, hold on a second.
Everett's handing him something.
Looks like an envelope.
You know what? Maybe we go talk to Everett, find out who this guy is.
- Okay.
What about Soto? - Mmm.
Soto can wait.
Wasn't Jameson a founding partner of Ombello? Yeah.
It's the head of the snake.
Let's go find out who his drinking buddy is.
Christ, Terry.
You look rough.
(CHUCKLES) - Did you go home last night? - No.
You need to get some sleep.
What I need is some good news.
I wish I had some.
Detective Annou didn't check into work yesterday.
And her father's disappeared.
What about her police vehicle? Why can't we track that? Well, we could if she was using it.
But we did have the car's GPS history checked out.
Now three days ago, she paid a visit to Dr.
Everett's office.
He did call in a missing person's report on Lunsford, so it could be coincidence that Annou responded.
You don't believe that any more than I do.
Did Everett inform us about her visit? No.
Send someone to pick him up.
I want to know what they talked about.
That's him.
(TIRES SCREECHING) Shit.
ETHAN: Hey! (GUNSHOT) (GROANS) Get up.
Get the fuck up.
Let's go! Go, go, go, go.
You people are so fucked.
(SIGHS) Who is this? I don't remember his name.
Some guy who bought us a drink.
You don't have a very good poker face, Neil.
Well, it's the truth.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
(SIGHS) Tell you what.
Here, catch.
You're a southpaw, huh? (SCREAMS) Fuck! God damn it! Are you out of your fucking mind? I just blew up the federal building, Neil.
What do you think? - (GROANS) - You don't start telling me what I wanna know, and I'm gonna shoot you in your good hand.
You hear me? (PANTING) Who's the third man? Nicholas Brady! Nicholas fucking Brady! - Good.
- Who is he? He works for the government.
The Department of Science and Technology.
Now, would you get me something for the bleeding! Hold on.
The government knows that you were putting those chips in trafficked girls? The girls are guinea pigs.
It's a clinical trial! Ombello runs it.
The government is funding it! Why? Why are they doing that? I am bleeding out here! - Why? Why, Neil? - (GRUNTS) They wanna use it for soldiers.
For what? Hey.
For what? For what? The chip is designed to impact neural pathways, to make the recipient feel no pain, no fear.
Do you have any idea how beneficial something like that would be? Or how difficult it would be to keep a chip like that functioning in a human brain? How many girls died for you to figure it out? Advances in science come at a cost.
They always have.
Have you ever been on the battlefield, Neil? No.
You ever had bullets flying at you? You ever hold your friend in your arms while he dies? Let me tell you something.
Hey.
Hey! Pain.
Fear.
That's what keeps you going.
That's what keeps you alive.
Who the fuck are you to take that away, you arrogant piece of shit? Well, that's the future, whether you like it or not.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
We'll see.
Yeah.
What did they do with Phan? (SIGHS) Who? Phan.
One of your fucking lab rats.
A terrified 13-year-old girl.
What did they do with her? I don't know where they took her.
All right.
You know what? Fuck him, Clea.
Let's let him bleed out.
You can't leave me here.
Like you left those girls to starve in that disgusting, rancid basement? You can't leave me! You can't fucking leave me here! It was definitely Kelly and Annou who took Everett? - Yes.
- Jesus H Christ.
Well, this is turning out just fucking peachy, isn't it? I didn't want to use Kelly in the first place.
He's right, Terry.
We tried to warn you.
- If this goes south - THERESA: Shut up, Mike.
You think either one of you could've handled this job? You don't have the balls.
We have four cops at Mission, three at Southern and five at Richmond.
We have 13 agents at the FBI, six at ICE and 11 at the ATF.
We have, at last count, 102 independent operatives in this city.
Not to mention the legions of scumbags, delinquents, drug dealers, felons and general lowlifes who are entirely dependent on us for their sorry existence.
I want every one of them, every single one of them, out there looking for Kelly and Annou.
I want them found.
(CHUCKLES) What are you still doing here? Get the fuck out and do what you are being paid to do! Right.
Nicholas Brady.
Head of Research at the Department of Science and Technology.
He lectures at conferences all over the world on technology and hunger.
Portugal.
Czech Republic.
Finland - Huh.
- What? Well, he was arrested and detained a couple of years back in Colombia.
Oh, yeah? What for? Doesn't say.
Well, he's a government official.
There's got to be a record somewhere.
- Hmm.
- What about your partner? I mean, it's federal, so she doesn't have that kind of access.
But You know who probably has a contact at the US Attorney's office? Regan.
Hmm.
(DOOR OPENS) What happened to your face? No, I got rid of it.
You know where he is, don't you? Uh, don't tell me.
I don't wanna know.
How is he? So, what? Now you care? I didn't have a choice, Clea.
The feds were all over me.
What was I supposed to do? Throw my life away for For a friend? I don't feel guilty.
Okay.
So you don't feel guilty.
- What do you want? - I need a favor.
- For you or for him? - Does that matter? I need you to find whatever you can on a Nicholas Brady.
He's at the Department of Technology and Science.
- Like what? - Like why he was detained in Colombia two years ago.
Like anything I can't find on Google.
He's involved in the R and D on the microchips.
(SIGHS) I can't.
I'm I'm sorry.
My boss is on my case.
I gotta keep my nose clean.
Ethan is a patsy.
He was set up.
I know it.
You know it.
We just don't know why.
And how does finding out why this Nicholas Brady was arrested in Colombia help us with that? I don't know.
Not yet.
But, fuck, the more that we understand about what's going on, the closer we get to the truth.
Come on, Regan.
Help me out here.
(CHUCKLES) Wasn't so long ago that Kelly stood in my office and said those same words.
"Help me out, Regan.
" This isn't just about Kelly.
Whoever did this killed 35 innocent people in that building.
What, are you going to turn your back on them too? (INHALES) No promises.
Thank you.
Now, get out of my office.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (SIGHS) PARVEY: I pulled him over on Union at around Franklin.
- He ran a stop sign.
- How did he seem to you? He seemed nervous.
I'm just angry with myself that I didn't spot something.
Maybe I could've prevented this whole thing.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - CLEA: It's me.
- Hey.
- Hi.
(SIGHS) Who's that? He's a cop that pulled me over on the way to Cardello's.
These people are good.
I'm starting to think I did it.
Regan's looking into Brady.
What'd you do to convince her? Nothing.
Clearly, I'm just more charming than you are.
Clearly.
For what it's worth, she was put in an impossible situation.
Yeah.
Well, that doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for me right now, Clea.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - Yeah? Paul.
(SIGHS) Thank you for coming.
Hey, when Regan Faulkner invites you for a drink, show me the idiot who's going to say no.
(LAUGHS) I hope that's the good stuff.
It's the only stuff I can afford.
I don't work for the US Attorney.
- (SIGHS) - Thanks.
I know you're busy.
Busy with a ribeye and a bottle of Malbec with Harbinson at Magnolia.
- Wow.
- (LAUGHS) Federal judges.
I'm impressed.
What can I say? Friends in high places.
So, Nicholas Brady.
I should ask why you're having me looking into a government official.
Yeah.
Yeah, but then I'd have to tell you.
(CHUCKLES) He checks out.
He was detained in Colombia on an expired visa.
That's it? Scarface he is not.
(SIGHS) Mind if I take a look? He's a brainiac.
Lectures all over the world.
Hmm.
South America, Europe, Saudi Arabia.
He traveled to Libya? So? October 2011.
Right before Qaddafi was killed.
You think the government was allowing its officials to travel to Libya at that time? Let alone an academic from the Department of Science and Technology? Maybe Nicholas Brady is not who he says he is.
(EXHALES) I was just thinking that, uh, that our dads would be good friends, and they'd get along.
- Really? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
My dad, he works at a grocery store, like, twice a week.
He's retired, but, you know, he hates having nothing to do.
You know, I got back from Afghanistan the second time, my, you know, photo was in, like, the local paper.
And the manager of the market, he took it, framed it and put it up for everyone to see.
My dad was so proud.
I mean, he would never tell me that, of course, but The manager said that people were coming up to him (SIGHS DEEPLY) (VOICE BREAKING) And they would say "That's your son, "the war hero.
" (SNIFFLING) I can't imagine what people are saying to him today.
(INHALES DEEPLY) (CHUCKLES) Ah I'm sure he's just enjoying all the attention.
Kind of likes it.
I'm sorry.
(DIALING) (LINE RINGING) SECRETARY: (ON PHONE) Department of Science and Technology.
Hi.
Nicholas Brady, please.
Mr.
Brady is unavailable.
Can I ask who's calling? That's okay.
I'm sorry to bother you.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - What is it? A call came in.
A woman.
She didn't leave a message, but she asked for you by name.
She called from the DA's office.
And? The same DA's office that acted to have the chip removed from that little girl.
Do you want me to No.
No, I'll I'll take care of it.
(DOOR CLOSES) We have a problem.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I know the place.
I'll be there.
Thanks, Regan.
She's says she's got something.
She wants to meet.
It's probably best you stay here.
That means you don't trust her.
It means I'm not sure.
Clea.
Be careful.
Always.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER) The road's closed, ma'am.
You're gonna have to turn around.
What's going on? There's been a mugging.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: And in further developments, the FBI today interviewed Donna Williams, a friend of Ethan Kelly and the wife of one of his army colleagues.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, authorities have also interviewed George Kelly, father of Ethan Kelly.

Regan's dead.
They killed her.
(THEME SONG PLAYING)
Now you're in with them.
You're essentially an undercover operative.
Yeah.
JONES: (OVER PHONE) Go to Cardello's on Union.
CLEA: Why do I recognize that name? ETHAN: Same restaurant that Oaks sent me to.
You work your way up the ladder.
That way, when we move in to make arrests, our case is iron-fucking-clad.
I need a bus at 1545 Charteris Lane.
Double homicide.
I'm in pursuit of the suspect.
(LOUD EXPLOSION) What's happening? I don't know.
There's been some kind of explosion.
The Hoover Building on Union.
Turn the car around and drive.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: (ON TV) What we know so far is that a bomb ripped through the building at approximately 5:15 this afternoon.
Authorities have released footage of what they believe to be a suspect in today's bombing.
The suspect is Ethan Kelly, a former Army Ranger who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
(THEME SONG PLAYING) Authorities have named former Army Ranger Ethan Kelly as the prime suspect in today's bombing of the Hoover Federal Building in downtown San Francisco.
(NEWSCASTER CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) (SIRENS WAILING) Take your second right up ahead.
I got out of my car and boom, there was this almighty explosion.
Almost knocked me off my feet (STAMMERS) There was like dust everywhere, and charred paper started floating down all around me and then I heard this woman screaming and I wanted to try and help her Excuse me, I need to speak to somebody.

They're saying over 30 people dead.
Keep your voice down.
Shut the How can you be so fucking calm? - Did you know? - No, I didn't know.
And neither did you.
That's how this thing works.
Plausible deniability.
And what happens when they haul this Kelly guy in for questioning? He saw my face, not yours.
He's never gonna make it to the precinct.
- He's gonna be DOA.
- And if he's not? What's he got on you? Nothin'.
He knows my goddamn name! He knows your first name.
He sold you some dope.
I hate to break it to you, but you're not that unique.
And what happens if they have me on camera? You You have to talk to the bosses.
Oh, you want me to talk to the bosses? Okay, sure, I'll call 'em up right after I blow my own brains out.
Let me tell you something about these people.
The minute you come to them with a problem, you are the problem.
You get my drift? Fuck! (LINE RINGING) Hey, Clea, it's me.
Call me on this number when you get it, will you? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) Have you ever read the book The Marathon Man? Everybody's seen the film.
They always talk about that scene.
Is it safe? But the description of torture in the book, the detail Goldman goes into, the touch and taste.
The smell of fear.
Now that's That's something else.
That's Art.
You saw him head south on Pedro Street, ma'am? What time was this? And where was this, sir? Market Street and Eighth? Thank you.
Authorities are now saying they have found traces of the explosive C4 in a bar belonging to Ethan Kelly.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: Police are reporting that Ethan Kelly We got a ping on his phone.
We got a location on Kelly's phone.
(SIREN BLARING) - On the ground! - (GASPS) On the ground now! Face down! (WHIMPERING) They thought they had him, but Kelly dumped his phone.
It's only a matter of time before Kelly's picked up.
I want him resisting arrest.
He doesn't even make it to the precinct.
(GRUNTS) What the fuck! You and I are gonna have a little talk.
- I don't know anything, man.
- Really? I didn't know the building was gonna blow.
Don't fucking move.
What the fuck you doing? What the fuck? I don't have a lot of time, so I'm gonna make this quick.
You have until this light goes off to tell me what I wanna fucking know.
You hear me? (PANTING) - You listening to me? - Yes, sir.
Yeah? Who planted the bomb? Was it you? No.
- (SIZZLING) - Who planted the bomb, Mekhi? I don't know, I swear! I didn't know anything about it.
(STAMMERS) They told me to meet you.
- That's all I know.
- Who told you? Who's giving you orders? They'll kill me, man.
(HISSING) - You wanna play games? - (SCREAMING) (SOBBING) You better tell me what I want to know, Mekhi.
Don't fuck with me.
I'll burn your goddamn face off.

(STAMMERS) Cody Soto.
He's a cop! Southern Division.
That's all I know, I swear to God, man.
He tells me what to do, I don't ask.
That's all I know, please! - (PANTING) - (TURNS IRON OFF) Fuck! Where's your piece? Over there, in the fucking cabinet! In the fucking cabinet! I found you once.
I'll fucking find you again.
You hear me? (SOBBING) (WAILING) (DIALING) (LINE RINGING) (SIGHS) Hey, Clea, it's me again.
I got a name.
Call me.
Where are you? (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) Detective Clea Annou.
What kind of name is that? That's okay.
You don't have to answer.
That's just me being nosey.
I'm always surprised about how people aren't more interested in the etymology of their own name.
Well, you're not here to listen to me waffle on.
(GRUNTS AND COUGHS) (PANTING) Why are you following me? MULLEN: Come on, Miss Faulkner.
Cooperate here.
How am I not cooperating? Ethan Kelly signed into this building several times and each time, he put you down as his contact.
Yes, he did.
I'm not denying that.
So what was the nature of his visits? We were at law school together.
When he came to town, he looked me up.
Were you two romantically involved? In the past, yes.
Not recently.
Okay.
Did he want to pick up where you left off? Something like that.
Well, did you? What? Start dating him again? Like I told him, we were friends.
Is that why you're protecting him like this? I'm not protecting him.
I just don't happen to think he's behind the bombing.
He's a war hero, for Christ's sake.
So was Timothy McVeigh.
(CLEARS THROAT) Look, Regan, you're a crucial part of the team here.
Bright future ahead of you.
Why would you want to jeopardize all of that, not to mention your liberty, by protecting this guy? MULLEN: So I'm going to ask you again.
What was the nature of your business with Ethan Kelly? - (BOTH GRUNT) - (GROANS) (SCREAMING) Fuck! (PANTING) Why are you following me? (LAUGHS) You know one thing I can't figure out, is why the fuck Theresa Archer is giving you orders directly? Laurie Gage, owner of Gage Rare Books, and a contract killer for the fucking Ombello Group.
I know you fucking killed that little girl, I know you killed her mother, and I know Theresa gave you the orders to do it! But why isn't she going through an intermediary? You guys have a history? Were you fucking each other back in Baghdad? (GRUNTS) (COUGHING) You've been asking the wrong question, Laurie.
The question isn't why I was following you.
The question is who else have I told about everything I fucking know? Go on kill me.
Fucking kill me.
You're never going to get the answer to that one.
- Is that her? - (BEEP) Tell her you should be keeping me alive.
At least for now.
(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON PHONE) Tell her.
Go on.
Tell her.
Give me a moment.
You haven't checked in.
Should I be concerned? - Define "concerned.
" - Don't fuck with me, Laurie.
Is the accountant's deal closed? - I'm afraid not.
- Excuse me? - I lost him.
- Jesus Christ.
And you didn't think to inform me? He disappeared into the Southern Division.
I couldn't exactly follow him.
(LAUGHS) This just gets better.
I ran into a problem.
Care to be a little more specific? Have you ever come across a detective by the name of Clea Annou? I'll take that as a yes.
I'm at the factory now with her.
Perhaps it would be better if we spoke about this in person.
I'm coming down.
Fuck! (SCREAMING) (SIGHS) Going to need a new phone.
I'll have one sent up.
Who do we have at Southern? Officer Cody Soto.
Ben Olson is there.
Get that taken care of.
CLEA: What'd she say? Was she mad? You fucked up, right? Oof! Can't be nice having the boss yell at you.
Shut up.
You guys weren't fucking, were you? You wanted to.
You did.
(CHUCKLES) Who wouldn't? But why would she look at a guy like you? Look at you.
You're a fucking misfit.
Why the fuck would she fuck the help if it looked like you? Shut your fucking mouth! - (GRUNTS) - (GROANS) (MUFFLED GRUNTING) (GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) (CHOKING) (PANTING) - (SIRENS BLARING) - (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) (LINE RINGING) Hey, it's me.

Nothing.
Hmm.

Um I, uh, I work in the Hoover Building.
Were you there today? No.
My family's sick, so I stayed home to take care of them.
(SOBBING) I know this is hard, but you have to tell me what happened.
They're after me.
I'm sorry? There was a man inside my house.
They killed my family.
I'm sorry, who killed your family? (STAMMERS) The people that bombed my office.
They're after me.
I don't even know who they are.
I just know that they're after me.

Can you please send somebody to my house? - Okay, I will.
- Can you do it now? Please? Sir, I will.

- Is it done? - It's done.
I'm looking at him right now.
The accountant isn't going to be a problem for you anymore.
(UNDER BREATH) Fuck! The deal on the accountant's closed.
That's one less headache to worry about.
This has been a long day.
(SOFTLY) Fuck! Laurie is out of commission.
- Jesus.
- Don't get me started.
We need to pick up Detective Annou as a matter of urgency.
Doesn't her father own a restaurant or something? (SIGHS) Yeah.
Yeah, the, uh, The Bay Bridge Grille over in Mission.
Well, pick him up.
We can use him as leverage.
And we're going to need the cleaners down here.
(SIGHS) (DOOR OPENS) Hello? (EXHALES) I have a gun.
Dad, you haven't had a gun in years.
Clea, what are you doing creeping around back there? You scared the living daylights out of me.
What the hell happened to you? I'm fine.
You don't look it.
You haven't come home looking like that since you took on Rosie O'Connor in the seventh grade.
Pops, listen to me.
You need to leave.
Sweetheart, you need to tell me what the hell's going on right now.
I'm in trouble.
Is this anything to do with that dirty cop? God damn it, Clea! I told you to leave it alone! Would you have left it alone when you were on the force? I didn't think so.
You are so damn pig-headed.
Yeah? Where do you think I get it from? Listen.
Remember that hunting cabin that you and Mom used to go to? It's up in Kirkwood? Yeah.
Your mother hated that place.
I need you to go there.
- Why? - Because no one's gonna look for you there, that's why.
It ain't happening.
I don't care what's going on, I'm not leaving you.
Dad, listen to me.
I love you.
You have to trust me on this.
These people that I'm dealing with, they are not gonna think twice about using you to get to me.
I need to know that you're safe, otherwise I can't do my job.
Do you understand what I am saying? Please.
(DOOR OPENS) Stay here.
ETHAN: It's me, Clea.
It's me.
Fuck.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck happened to your face? Another time.
Are you okay? Uh, still alive.

I've seen you all over TV.
Dad, he was set up.
Okay? He didn't do anything.
Put it down.
Trust me.
You gotta trust me on this.
I promise I'm gonna tell you everything, I just need you to go.
Please.
Pops, don't make me beg.
It's embarrassing.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Okay.
I'll go to the cabin.
Okay, thank you.
- You be careful.
- Always.
Clea, come on.
We gotta go.
Come on.
(SCOFFS) Wow.
This friend of yours sure knew how to live.
(CHUCKLES) He paid cash a month in advance and there's nothing connecting me to this place, so Some whiskey on the table if you want.
Yeah.
Here, let me, uh Let me see what we got.
Sit down.
(SIGHS) Okay.
Let's see.
Motherfucker got you good, didn't he? Mmm.
It might hurt.
(WINCES) One more here.
- Oh, God.
- There you go.
Seems like only a second ago I had something approaching a normal life.
I had a normal life too.
Once.
- It's got a kick to it.
- Yeah.
Mmm.
Yeah.
That'll do.
So, the Bookseller, he takes this guy's family.
Why? I have no idea.
Did you get a name or anything? You know what? I don't even know.
Wait, there's There's something in my car.
I'll be back.
(DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) Authorities are now saying Ethan Kelly was recently wanted for questioning in Chicago in connection to the murder of two federal DEA agents.
It is understood that Kelly became disillusioned with the war in Iraq and found it hard to adjust to life back home after the conflict.
Motherfuckers.
Federal authorities have revealed he was a regular on online chat rooms of militias and anti-government resistance groups.
He's also believed to have quit the NRA viewing its stance on gun rights as too weak.
Unbelievable.
FEMALE NEWS ANCHOR: It's unknown whether Kelly may have been suffering from PTSD at this time.
It doesn't appear that the suspect - has any - (CLOSES VIDEO) Look at this.
He dropped this on his way back to the house.
There's a prescription in here.
Benjamin Frederick Olson.
Let's see here.
Benjamin Olson.
He worked for the Office of Budget Management.
Federal accountants.
Looks like they audited federal agencies.
And guess where their offices are? The Hoover Building.
They were targeting federal accountants.
(SIGHS) So, Olson doesn't show up for work one day So they go visit him at his house.
- And he's not home.
- So then it all goes to shit.
Why is the Ombello Group targeting federal accountants? Maybe they uncovered something about Ombello.
Something they didn't want made public.
I need another drink.
Earlier today, I got a name.
Officer Cody Soto.
Works out of the Southern Division.
I haven't heard of him.
Well, he's connected to the bombing somehow.
Okay, well, I'll call Regan.
I can see what she can find on him.
- Nah, nah, nah.
- Why? Regan sold me out, Clea.
I called her earlier about Soto.
We arranged a meeting, I showed up and (CHUCKLES) There were feds crawling all over the fucking place.
I'm sorry.
You guys were close, right? I mean, I thought so.
All right, well, I'll call my partner, see what she can get on Soto.
You really trust her? More than Regan, apparently.
Hmm.
- Hey, Doyle, it's me.
- BETHANY: What do you need? Jesus.
What happened? You know, when this is all over, you and me, we're gonna go to Cooley's, we're gonna drink the place dry and we'll talk.
- All right.
- What'd you get on Soto? Uh, his file's on here.
He was accused by IA of planting evidence a few years back.
He worked at Bayview Station at the time, but guess who with? Captain Sleader.
Right first time.
Fuck! That's all I've got right now.
But I got a friend who works in IA.
- I'll see what he can dig up.
- Okay.
Brought you some clean clothes.
Thank you.
Your laptop and the case file like you asked.
Oh, and these came in.
Stills from the security camera, the night Jameson was killed.
You're a fucking rock star.
So I've been told.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: And today a more complete picture is emerging of the suspect, disgruntled war veteran Ethan Kelly.
Kelly started a security business in San Francisco a couple years back with some ex-army buddies, one of whom died from a fentanyl overdose, another committed suicide, and a third, Ray Williams, is missing, presumed dead.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) - Yeah.
- CLEA: It's me.
Hey.
- You doing okay? - Yeah.
Soto's file.
Thanks.
Soto was reported to IA for planting evidence, but that's all we have on him so far.
I'm still having my partner look into it.
Yeah, what do you got there? These are stills from the security camera at the restaurant the night Daniel Jameson was killed.
So we know Daniel Jameson was there.
Turns out that surgeon, Neil Everett, he was also there.
I'm just trying to connect the two.
See if we may You found something? - CLEA: So, that's Jameson.
- ETHAN: Yeah.
- Everett.
- ETHAN: Who's the third man? CLEA: I don't know.
It might be nobody.
Whoa, hold on a second.
Everett's handing him something.
Looks like an envelope.
You know what? Maybe we go talk to Everett, find out who this guy is.
- Okay.
What about Soto? - Mmm.
Soto can wait.
Wasn't Jameson a founding partner of Ombello? Yeah.
It's the head of the snake.
Let's go find out who his drinking buddy is.
Christ, Terry.
You look rough.
(CHUCKLES) - Did you go home last night? - No.
You need to get some sleep.
What I need is some good news.
I wish I had some.
Detective Annou didn't check into work yesterday.
And her father's disappeared.
What about her police vehicle? Why can't we track that? Well, we could if she was using it.
But we did have the car's GPS history checked out.
Now three days ago, she paid a visit to Dr.
Everett's office.
He did call in a missing person's report on Lunsford, so it could be coincidence that Annou responded.
You don't believe that any more than I do.
Did Everett inform us about her visit? No.
Send someone to pick him up.
I want to know what they talked about.
That's him.
(TIRES SCREECHING) Shit.
ETHAN: Hey! (GUNSHOT) (GROANS) Get up.
Get the fuck up.
Let's go! Go, go, go, go.
You people are so fucked.
(SIGHS) Who is this? I don't remember his name.
Some guy who bought us a drink.
You don't have a very good poker face, Neil.
Well, it's the truth.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
(SIGHS) Tell you what.
Here, catch.
You're a southpaw, huh? (SCREAMS) Fuck! God damn it! Are you out of your fucking mind? I just blew up the federal building, Neil.
What do you think? - (GROANS) - You don't start telling me what I wanna know, and I'm gonna shoot you in your good hand.
You hear me? (PANTING) Who's the third man? Nicholas Brady! Nicholas fucking Brady! - Good.
- Who is he? He works for the government.
The Department of Science and Technology.
Now, would you get me something for the bleeding! Hold on.
The government knows that you were putting those chips in trafficked girls? The girls are guinea pigs.
It's a clinical trial! Ombello runs it.
The government is funding it! Why? Why are they doing that? I am bleeding out here! - Why? Why, Neil? - (GRUNTS) They wanna use it for soldiers.
For what? Hey.
For what? For what? The chip is designed to impact neural pathways, to make the recipient feel no pain, no fear.
Do you have any idea how beneficial something like that would be? Or how difficult it would be to keep a chip like that functioning in a human brain? How many girls died for you to figure it out? Advances in science come at a cost.
They always have.
Have you ever been on the battlefield, Neil? No.
You ever had bullets flying at you? You ever hold your friend in your arms while he dies? Let me tell you something.
Hey.
Hey! Pain.
Fear.
That's what keeps you going.
That's what keeps you alive.
Who the fuck are you to take that away, you arrogant piece of shit? Well, that's the future, whether you like it or not.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
We'll see.
Yeah.
What did they do with Phan? (SIGHS) Who? Phan.
One of your fucking lab rats.
A terrified 13-year-old girl.
What did they do with her? I don't know where they took her.
All right.
You know what? Fuck him, Clea.
Let's let him bleed out.
You can't leave me here.
Like you left those girls to starve in that disgusting, rancid basement? You can't leave me! You can't fucking leave me here! It was definitely Kelly and Annou who took Everett? - Yes.
- Jesus H Christ.
Well, this is turning out just fucking peachy, isn't it? I didn't want to use Kelly in the first place.
He's right, Terry.
We tried to warn you.
- If this goes south - THERESA: Shut up, Mike.
You think either one of you could've handled this job? You don't have the balls.
We have four cops at Mission, three at Southern and five at Richmond.
We have 13 agents at the FBI, six at ICE and 11 at the ATF.
We have, at last count, 102 independent operatives in this city.
Not to mention the legions of scumbags, delinquents, drug dealers, felons and general lowlifes who are entirely dependent on us for their sorry existence.
I want every one of them, every single one of them, out there looking for Kelly and Annou.
I want them found.
(CHUCKLES) What are you still doing here? Get the fuck out and do what you are being paid to do! Right.
Nicholas Brady.
Head of Research at the Department of Science and Technology.
He lectures at conferences all over the world on technology and hunger.
Portugal.
Czech Republic.
Finland - Huh.
- What? Well, he was arrested and detained a couple of years back in Colombia.
Oh, yeah? What for? Doesn't say.
Well, he's a government official.
There's got to be a record somewhere.
- Hmm.
- What about your partner? I mean, it's federal, so she doesn't have that kind of access.
But You know who probably has a contact at the US Attorney's office? Regan.
Hmm.
(DOOR OPENS) What happened to your face? No, I got rid of it.
You know where he is, don't you? Uh, don't tell me.
I don't wanna know.
How is he? So, what? Now you care? I didn't have a choice, Clea.
The feds were all over me.
What was I supposed to do? Throw my life away for For a friend? I don't feel guilty.
Okay.
So you don't feel guilty.
- What do you want? - I need a favor.
- For you or for him? - Does that matter? I need you to find whatever you can on a Nicholas Brady.
He's at the Department of Technology and Science.
- Like what? - Like why he was detained in Colombia two years ago.
Like anything I can't find on Google.
He's involved in the R and D on the microchips.
(SIGHS) I can't.
I'm I'm sorry.
My boss is on my case.
I gotta keep my nose clean.
Ethan is a patsy.
He was set up.
I know it.
You know it.
We just don't know why.
And how does finding out why this Nicholas Brady was arrested in Colombia help us with that? I don't know.
Not yet.
But, fuck, the more that we understand about what's going on, the closer we get to the truth.
Come on, Regan.
Help me out here.
(CHUCKLES) Wasn't so long ago that Kelly stood in my office and said those same words.
"Help me out, Regan.
" This isn't just about Kelly.
Whoever did this killed 35 innocent people in that building.
What, are you going to turn your back on them too? (INHALES) No promises.
Thank you.
Now, get out of my office.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) (SIGHS) PARVEY: I pulled him over on Union at around Franklin.
- He ran a stop sign.
- How did he seem to you? He seemed nervous.
I'm just angry with myself that I didn't spot something.
Maybe I could've prevented this whole thing.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - CLEA: It's me.
- Hey.
- Hi.
(SIGHS) Who's that? He's a cop that pulled me over on the way to Cardello's.
These people are good.
I'm starting to think I did it.
Regan's looking into Brady.
What'd you do to convince her? Nothing.
Clearly, I'm just more charming than you are.
Clearly.
For what it's worth, she was put in an impossible situation.
Yeah.
Well, that doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for me right now, Clea.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - Yeah? Paul.
(SIGHS) Thank you for coming.
Hey, when Regan Faulkner invites you for a drink, show me the idiot who's going to say no.
(LAUGHS) I hope that's the good stuff.
It's the only stuff I can afford.
I don't work for the US Attorney.
- (SIGHS) - Thanks.
I know you're busy.
Busy with a ribeye and a bottle of Malbec with Harbinson at Magnolia.
- Wow.
- (LAUGHS) Federal judges.
I'm impressed.
What can I say? Friends in high places.
So, Nicholas Brady.
I should ask why you're having me looking into a government official.
Yeah.
Yeah, but then I'd have to tell you.
(CHUCKLES) He checks out.
He was detained in Colombia on an expired visa.
That's it? Scarface he is not.
(SIGHS) Mind if I take a look? He's a brainiac.
Lectures all over the world.
Hmm.
South America, Europe, Saudi Arabia.
He traveled to Libya? So? October 2011.
Right before Qaddafi was killed.
You think the government was allowing its officials to travel to Libya at that time? Let alone an academic from the Department of Science and Technology? Maybe Nicholas Brady is not who he says he is.
(EXHALES) I was just thinking that, uh, that our dads would be good friends, and they'd get along.
- Really? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
My dad, he works at a grocery store, like, twice a week.
He's retired, but, you know, he hates having nothing to do.
You know, I got back from Afghanistan the second time, my, you know, photo was in, like, the local paper.
And the manager of the market, he took it, framed it and put it up for everyone to see.
My dad was so proud.
I mean, he would never tell me that, of course, but The manager said that people were coming up to him (SIGHS DEEPLY) (VOICE BREAKING) And they would say "That's your son, "the war hero.
" (SNIFFLING) I can't imagine what people are saying to him today.
(INHALES DEEPLY) (CHUCKLES) Ah I'm sure he's just enjoying all the attention.
Kind of likes it.
I'm sorry.
(DIALING) (LINE RINGING) SECRETARY: (ON PHONE) Department of Science and Technology.
Hi.
Nicholas Brady, please.
Mr.
Brady is unavailable.
Can I ask who's calling? That's okay.
I'm sorry to bother you.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR) - What is it? A call came in.
A woman.
She didn't leave a message, but she asked for you by name.
She called from the DA's office.
And? The same DA's office that acted to have the chip removed from that little girl.
Do you want me to No.
No, I'll I'll take care of it.
(DOOR CLOSES) We have a problem.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I know the place.
I'll be there.
Thanks, Regan.
She's says she's got something.
She wants to meet.
It's probably best you stay here.
That means you don't trust her.
It means I'm not sure.
Clea.
Be careful.
Always.
(POLICE RADIO CHATTER) The road's closed, ma'am.
You're gonna have to turn around.
What's going on? There's been a mugging.
MALE NEWS ANCHOR: And in further developments, the FBI today interviewed Donna Williams, a friend of Ethan Kelly and the wife of one of his army colleagues.
