NCIS:New Orleans 4x13 Ties That Bind Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
(sighs) I got to admit I'm a little jealous of that guy.
Yeah.
Who doesn't want to reel in a floater on Lake Pontchartrain on a Tuesday morning? Not the body, Percy.
The Luhrs 41.
You know those words mean nothing to me.
His boat.
It's about as nice a sport fisher money can buy.
Saving up for one for myself, actually.
Used, of course.
And when I get it, hey, pack your fishing rod, 'cause we hittin' the water.
That's gonna be a hard pass.
Come on, City Mouse.
Look, sun shining, wind in the hair, cooler full of drinks Seasickness, sunstroke, animals dying.
That's not my scene, Country Mouse.
(phone rings) (sighs) It's your dad, huh? Yeah, I'll call him back later.
When was the last time you talked to him? Uh, not since he came to town a few months ago.
What's up with that? Well, I know how the conversation'll go, all right? He'll tell me to grow up, he wants me to run the family business.
I'll say, "No, I got a life here.
" Then he'll get angry, hang up, and not call me back for another couple months.
Long as you got it figured out.
Christopher, Sonja.
Where's Dwayne? Oh, he's with Gregorio, wrapping up paperwork on a hijacking case.
LASALLE: Yeah, we'll fill him in.
What you got? Petty Officer First Class Theo Rollins, at least according to the one good print I was able to get.
Master at Arms from Belle Chasse.
He's been UA since Friday.
Cause of death appears to be three GSWs to the back.
Based on the water temperature and skin slippage, I'd estimate the body's been submerged two to four days.
Suggests he was killed shortly after he went missing.
Sounds and looks like a body dump.
Yes.
Notice the pattern abrasions on the cheek.
(camera clicking) There's debris in the tissue.
I'll be able to retrieve it during autopsy.
Might be able to give you a clue as to where he was killed.
SEBASTIAN: And this might give us a clue as to why.
Found this in his pocket.
MDMA-- people's favorite party drug.
Got to be a couple thousand dollars worth here.
Yeah, you think he was dealing? That kind of weight's not for recreational use.
WADE: Something else you should see, Christopher.
Wristband from Delilah's Music Club.
That place on Frenchman.
That mean something? Yeah, Pride used to play there.
Yeah, he-he's worked with that family for years.
So, murdered sailor, illegal narcotics and a popular music club.
I'm thinking drug deal gone wrong.
Maybe.
But we need to do our diligence.
Percy, you head to Belle Chasse, talk to Theo's C.
O.
See if he had any prior issues with drugs.
Sebastian, you stay here and work the rest of the crime scene with Miss Loretta.
- Get the body back to autopsy.
- Copy that.
I'll meet up with Pride, check out Delilah's.
Haven't been to Delilah's in a long time, Christopher.
A lot of famous names walked through those doors.
Fats Domino, Irma Thomas My mama had a standing gig on Monday nights.
That was when Delilah was still running the place.
She was a complex woman.
Your mother or Delilah? (chuckles) Both.
But I meant Delilah.
She kept the place running her way no matter how many shakedown artists and mobsters tried to muscle in.
Her son Felix runs it now, right? Like mother, like son.
He's kept the doors open seven days a week through ups and downs, even Katrina.
(whistles) Takes a lot of hard work.
Well, Felix loves music.
More than anything.
(blues music playing) Okay, okay, all right.
All right, let's, uh, take that from the top.
PRIDE: I'd drop a seventh on that C chord.
That'd be so nice.
You always loved the sevenths.
(chuckles): Yeah.
- Just makes it interesting.
- Yeah.
That's your weakness, Dwayne.
You're always interested in playing more interesting rather than consistent.
(chuckles): I hold my own.
That you do.
You want to jump in? I mean, you know you're always welcome.
Yeah, well, any other time, Felix.
But this is not a social visit.
Oh.
JOSIE: Mr.
Dwayne! Hi.
Hey, Josie.
I thought we agreed to just Ah.
Dwayne.
I know, Dwayne.
She's polite as she is talented.
Um, this is Neil, Daddy's partner.
Uh, junior partner.
(phone rings) How you? Excuse me.
I got to take this.
Yeah.
You got a partner now? Well, I'm getting too old to do it all myself.
Plus, Neil is practically family.
Uh, is he, now? Yeah.
But like you said, you're not here on a social call.
I can see that your guy's questioning my staff.
Want to tell me what this is all about? Yeah.
Theo Rollins.
What about Theo? He's dead.
FELIX: How'd it happen? He was shot.
Oh Dumped in the lake.
Oh, my God.
You know who did it? Trying to figure that out.
You all were close? I, uh caught him breaking into my club.
He was 16.
Nothing but a hoodlum.
I didn't call the cops, I offered him a job sweeping floors.
JOSIE: More than that-- Daddy fed him, and he, you know, made sure he did his homework.
He saved him.
Didn't have any other family.
JOSIE: We were so proud of him when he joined the Navy.
Thinking he might've gotten back into the life.
He had drugs on him, a lot of 'em.
Oh, no, sir.
No.
No, you're mistaken.
I'm afraid not, Felix.
Theo's parents are addicts.
He hated drugs.
He didn't even drink.
When we found him, he had a Delilah's wristband on him.
Either of you see him Friday night? No, sir.
LASALLE: A number of your employees said they did.
Well, I-I didn't.
I mean, the-the club was jumping, you know.
I didn't have a chance to check every customer at the door.
How about you, Josie? No.
I didn't.
LASALLE: Well, they're obviously lying.
The question is, why? They're in shock.
Might just be protecting Theo's reputation.
Or it might be they know something about his murder.
You're saying they're involved? Well, I'm saying we should at least look into it.
Hey, Lasalle, you got a call from a woman named Rose, said it was important.
My stepmother? She never calls.
- I better see what's up.
- What do you know? I've been running down those MDMA tabs we found in Theo's jacket.
NOPD's been seeing this new drug on the street over the past few months called Yellow Joy.
Any Intel on who's dealing it? No, but Narcotics thinks it's coming out of one of the music clubs.
Could be our victim who was pushing.
Theo Rollins's parents were addicts.
He worked hard to make sure he didn't meet the same fate.
Doesn't explain the felony weight of the drugs we found in his jacket.
PATTON: No, but I think we can.
I was at Belle Chasse searching Theo's quarters.
Found this.
PRIDE: Log of drug purchases? So he was dealing.
No.
Buying.
And not for personal use.
More like gathering evidence.
Theo was a master-at-arms.
He working a narcotics case? PATTON: He was given a surveillance detail, going after drug dealers near the base.
He had access to some advanced equipment.
Motion-activated cameras with audio and video feed.
SONJA: Theo checked one of them out a few days before he was killed.
His commander says he has no idea where the equipment is now.
PATTON: See, once these cameras are installed, the user can access them on the cloud from any location.
Does that mean you can access it, too? Well, I haven't gotten the feed yet.
But I did trace the signal.
PRIDE: Delilah's.
SONJA: Theo Rollins was monitoring your friend's club.
May have gotten killed for it.
Okay so we dig deeper.
Patton, get into that camera feed, all right? I want to know what Theo was recording.
Sonja, Gregorio, take a closer look at Delilah's-- if drugs were coming out, there'll be more evidence.
Christopher, I need you to check in with your CIs.
Hey.
What's wrong? My dad.
He's dead.
He was out on the balcony, drinking coffee, reading the paper.
All the sudden collapsed.
Gone before the ambulance got there.
I'm so sorry, Chris.
He tried calling me this morning, you know? I didn't answer.
Come on, don't-don't do that to yourself.
Last conversation we had was an argument.
I know things didn't end well that night.
But your father loved you.
You got to know that.
Yeah.
But I should have answered his call.
Why didn't I? 'Cause you didn't know any of this was gonna happen.
I got to get home.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You okay, Country Mouse? I think so.
I don't know.
Hey, you need anything, we're here for you, you hear me? Feel like I'm leaving y'all hanging.
No.
You go to your family.
Come on, I'll walk you out.
PRIDE: Know we're all hurting for Christopher.
He's gonna need our support.
And we'll be here for him when he needs us.
But right now, we got to be here for Theo Rollins, too.
Find his killer.
Patton, that surveillance equipment at Delilah's still operating? Yeah.
It's motion-activated.
I'm working on accessing the feed.
All right, keep at it.
What'd you learn at Delilah's? Well, I didn't find any direct connection between the club and the drug trade, but I did find out your friend's club was on the verge of bankruptcy a few months back.
Days away from foreclosure.
All of a sudden, the debts are wiped out.
Mortgage and vendors are paid up, place is flush with cash.
No record of bank loans, new credit lines.
Sudden windfall that's all cash? Sounds like drug money.
PRIDE: Yeah, sounds like it.
But it's not proof.
Felix has a new partner-- Neil Clydell.
I met him this morning.
Could be the reason for the cash.
GREGORIO: We'll run background on him.
Yeah, good, and I need you two to go check in with Loretta and Sebastian, see if they've learned anything from the autopsy.
Theo believed something bad was happening at Delilah's, but to move forward, we need hard evidence, not theories.
GREGORIO: Okay.
(jet airplane passing) (piano music playing) (light chatter) (sighs) Christopher? Rose.
You made it.
How you doing? Well, we all knew it was going to happen at some point.
Just doesn't make it any easier, does it? Well, what do you mean, "We all knew"? That Beau was sick.
His heart.
I-I know he told you when he came to New Orleans the other month.
That was what the trip was all about.
Rose, he he didn't say a word about it.
(sighs) Your daddy was unique, wasn't he? Stubborn, too.
But he shouldn't have left you in the dark.
What about Cade? I tried calling him after we talked and couldn't get through.
Your brother had another bad spell.
He checked back into that facility in Auburn.
I didn't have the heart to call up there.
Thought you might like to be the one to.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll handle it.
We also have to figure out the funeral.
Beau left detailed instructions, of course.
There's just so much to do.
Rose, hey, it's okay, all right? I'm I'm here now, all right? Whatever you need, I'm here to help you.
Thank you.
I'm so glad you're here, Christopher.
WOMAN: Chris Lasalle, always there when you need him.
Rachel Modine.
Yeah.
(both chuckle) Wow, it's been How long has it been? Uh, graduation, I think.
Still wore braids in my hair.
I'm so sorry about your dad, Chris.
Thank you.
It means a lot that you're here.
Of course I came.
I'm your father's attorney.
Your attorney now.
(scoffs) Seems like I'm the last one to know anything around here.
Been working with your dad for two years.
Looking forward to working with you.
Working on what? On everything.
Beau named you executor of the estate.
LASALLE: He can't do that, right? Not without my permission.
Actually, he can, and he did.
(scoffs) Unbelievable.
Obviously, I assumed he already told you all this.
Well, he didn't.
Guess that means he didn't tell you you're in charge of Lasalle Enterprises as well.
You're kidding.
No, of course you're not.
Beau said you had discussed taking over the business.
He came down and wanted me to sign some papers.
I already told him I had a life and career.
Foolishly, I thought that was the end of it.
Well, it's not.
Because Beau's gone now, and you're the boss.
(chuckles) That's my father for you.
Even in death, he gets the last word.
WADE: I recovered the bullet from Mr.
Rollins's body.
There's no sign of foreign DNA or prints.
Yeah, the lake washed away most of the trace evidence.
Most, not all? No.
Those cuts on Theo's face-- based on the petechial bruising, I'd say the impact happened concurrently with death.
I also extracted paint chips lodged in the tissues.
Right, and then I took a photomicrograph of those paint chips just to get a closer look.
This is lead-based paint.
There's several coats of it, too.
This stuff's been banned since the '70s.
Does it make it easier to trace? Well, in this particular case, yeah, because this top layer, it's this-this pale green.
It's an exact match to the exterior of Delilah's.
Yeah, and I took a little field trip out to the club.
Went through the place with a fine-tooth comb until I found this in the back alley-- nine millimeter casing.
WADE: Same caliber as the slug I pulled from the victim.
Yeah, I still have to run ballistics to confirm, but Theo Rollins was killed right behind Delilah's.
On a night when Felix Hill denies even seeing him in his club.
Mm.
SEBASTIAN: Guys, I got something.
But it's one of those good news, bad news kind of things.
SONJA: What's the good news? Patton accessed the camera that Theo installed in Delilah's.
What's on it? That's the bad news.
The camera was monitoring Felix's office.
Pride's not gonna like what he sees.
Whatever it is, Sebastian, I'll deal with it.
Roger that.
PRIDE: That's Felix's office.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, the camera went up a few days before Theo was killed.
Most of the footage is pretty boring stuff-- you know, Felix answering phones, paying bills.
- No smoking gun.
- So why am I gonna be upset? Because of what was recorded this morning, after you and Lasalle interviewed him.
Why did you lie to them? FELIX: Not now, Josie.
JOSIE: You said you hadn't seen Theo.
But I saw you two arguing the day he died.
Why didn't you just tell Mr.
Dwayne? FELIX: It's complicated.
JOSIE: Well, then explain it to me.
I told Theo to let it go or he'd get hurt, but he just kept messing with it.
JOSIE: Let what go? Messing with what? FELIX: Josie, no more questions, all right? I'll handle it.
But we cannot talk to the police.
Do you understand? (Josie scoffs) (door slams on video) Guess your friend's involved after all.
Anymore footage like this, Sebastian? I don't know.
Patton's scanning the rest of the feed right now.
Let me know if you find anything else.
I'll talk to Felix.
Want someone to go with you? No.
(sighs) (car alarm chirps) Felix, hey.
Need to talk to you.
No time tonight, Dwayne.
Maybe tomorrow.
It's either out here or back at NCIS in cuffs.
(scoffs) Stop playing.
I'm not playing.
You lied to me today.
You absolutely saw Theo the night he died.
You argued with him.
You need to mind your own business.
This is my business, Felix.
A sailor was murdered outside your club, and every piece of evidence leads straight to you.
You think I killed Theo? He was like my own son.
Then explain it to me.
Why was he gathering evidence of drugs being purchased in your club? Why was he surveilling your office? Why was he killed? You don't understand.
Try me.
I told him to stay out of it.
He was always so protective.
I told him he'd get hurt, but he wouldn't listen.
I can't say anymore.
I'm trying very hard to not believe you're running drugs out of Delilah's, but right now, I'm the only one.
Rest of my team is ready to take you down.
Why on Earth won't you talk? Because somebody else is gonna get killed.
If someone's threatening you, Felix, threatening Josie, I can help.
Yeah, that's what Theo said.
And you see what happened to him.
Now, if you're not gonna arrest me, I'm going inside my damn house.
Then I guess I'm gonna arrest you.
(rapid beeping) (car alarm blaring) (indistinct radio chatter) Pride, you sure you don't want to go to the hospital? No, no.
All cuts and bruises.
Felix took the worst of the blast.
Thanks, Eugene.
No problem.
Any word on him? I called the hospital.
He's in surgery, but okay.
All right, have them post a guard.
Whoever did this might try and come back to finish the job.
It's probably the same person that killed Theo.
Look, he didn't say anything before the bomb went off? Not much, just that he was being threatened.
Probably by whoever was selling drugs at the club.
Theo tried to help.
So Felix was scared.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, with good reason, too.
Come check this out.
So the suspect tried to make it look like an accident, created a gas leak in the house.
He attached a remote detonator to the electrical outlet right there.
Which Felix triggered when he opened the door.
Yeah.
If you hadn't pulled him away from the entrance, he would've burned to a crisp.
Remote transmitter, right? SEBASTIAN: Yeah, uses an RF signal to trigger the spark.
It's simple, but effective.
Mean something to you, Sonja? Dixie Mafia uses firebombs like that to take out enemies.
I thought those guys were out of commission? Most of the leadership's behind bars.
There's plenty of soldiers still operating.
And drugs are their main business.
All right, Sebastian and I'll head back.
Start looking into any connection between Delilah's and the Dixie Mafia.
You two go to the hospital.
Josie should probably be there by now.
See what she can tell us.
GREGORIO: Pride.
What? We'll find whoever did this to your friend.
Yeah.
We'd better.
(sighs) You got to be kidding.
Not as bad as it looks.
That's the same thing you said about my arm when I fell off that horse at Joey Tanner's birthday party.
In my defense, I was 12, and I'd never seen a broken arm before.
(sighs) What do I know about running a business, Rachel? Right, spreadsheets, accounting, balancing the books Those are all pretty much the same thing.
But that's why I'm here.
I'll help you.
Every step of the way.
And look, I know it's a lot.
You need to take your time.
Mourn your dad.
Get your head around all this.
Ah, what was he thinking? He knew I didn't want any part of this.
He also knew that the business in your family needs to be taken care of.
This was just like him, you know.
Determined to get his way, no matter what.
That's one way of looking at it.
Look, Beau chose you because he knew you'd handle it.
He believed in you and trusted you'd do right.
If that's how he really felt, he never told me.
All right, I guess I can stick around for a couple extra days, sort this all out.
Christopher this isn't a "couple of days" situation.
It's a full-time job.
You own the company.
300 employees waiting on your word.
You need to move back home, to Alabama.
(scoffs) What are you talking about? For a little while, at least.
(phone rings) Six months.
Maybe a year.
Hold on.
Percy, what's up? SONJA: Don't freak out.
Pride's been hurt.
What? (playing blues melody) Josie.
I'm Special Agent Gregorio.
I work with Dwayne Pride.
How's your dad doing? Um, yeah, his surgery went well.
Doctors say he won't be awake for a few hours, so Good, good, good.
How are you? You must be kind of scared, huh? It doesn't seem real.
Yeah.
First Theo, and now this.
This must bring up a lot of questions for you, huh? Like, who'd want to do this to them? Or what were they involved in? They weren't involved in anything.
Someone's running drugs through your club.
Theo knew, your dad knows, and you should know it, too.
You're accusing my father of dealing drugs? No, but he got caught in the middle.
What do you want from me? Information.
I don't know anything.
Ah, see, I don't know if that's true.
I think you do know what's happening, and you want to talk about it, you're just afraid to.
NEIL: Josie.
Am I right? Hey.
Can you excuse us for a minute? We're in the middle of a conversation.
Is that what you want, Josie? For me to leave? Um, I think I need to get some air.
So, no.
NEIL: Well, then, let's get out of here.
You heard her.
What's up? You look concerned.
I'm just wondering why all the men in Josie's life keep stopping her from talking.
Who is this guy she's with, anyway? Neil Clydell, Felix's partner at the club.
Yeah, I don't like him.
Well, we checked him out.
No record.
He's a citizen.
Then we need to dig deeper, and we need access to Josie's phone.
Wait, you think he's dangerous? I think we need to keep an eye on them, just to be sure.
So, Neil Clydell has been running music clubs his entire adult life.
No legal trouble that we found.
But he does have an interesting résumé.
Right, so the last two clubs that Neil ran-- one in Biloxi, the other in Nashville-- they both burned down after police started drug investigations.
Owners died in the fires, too.
That's more than coincidence.
PATTON: It's genetics.
Neil's father and grandfather were lieutenants in the Dixie Mafia, till they went to prison.
Yeah, we're thinking that Neil's a front man, handling the legitimate business while someone else does the dirty work.
Any idea who that might be? No, I'm running background checks on Delilah's employees right now.
Gregorio had me hack into Josie's phone-- she did a lot of texting with Neil today.
Mostly demanding to know what the hell is going on.
Josie's been dating Neil, probably trusts him.
What was his response? To meet Josie at the hospital and drive her away.
Percy and Gregorio did follow them to his house in Lakeview.
They need to get Josie out now.
GREGORIO: They got here about 20 minutes ago.
They've been inside ever since.
PRIDE: Get in there and arrest him.
Yeah, understood.
PRIDE: Be careful.
Okay.
Clydell's Dixie Mafia.
We're gonna bring him in.
(gunshots) GREGORIO: Oh, my God, Josie! Federal agents! Percy! He's dead.
But where's Josie? All right.
GREGORIO: He's been shot twice in the chest and we can't find Josie.
Okay.
Neil Clydell was shot twice in the chest, and there's no sign of Josie anywhere.
You think she went Kill Bill on him? Got revenge for her father? She's a singer, not a killer.
Well, I don't know, sometimes people snap.
Not this time.
Gregorio said there were signs of a struggle after Neil was killed.
Someone dragged out the back door, and Josie's phone ditched in the yard.
Okay, so there was a third person in the house.
Yeah, and we need to find him.
(phone chimes) And we need to find Josie.
Well, Gregorio's about to send me some prints that she found inside the house-- I can run those.
Good.
What can I do to help? Christopher, what Percy told me about the bomb.
Are you all right? I'm fine.
Fine.
You-you should be home.
I'm more useful here.
Get me an I.
D.
on the third person in that house.
I'm on it.
You good? Yeah, thanks.
PRIDE: Come on.
What's going on, Chris? Well, like I said, I heard about the bomb, thought you might need some help, so here I am.
I have plenty of help on the case.
And you got something else on your mind right now.
It wont distract me from work, if that's what you're worried about.
I'm more worried about the work distracting you from what's going on back home.
I'm good.
You're anything but.
You want to be here right now you need to tell me what's going on.
My dad knew he was sick, King.
All right, when he was here, he looked me straight in the eye, and he knew he was dying and didn't say a word about it.
That's a lot to deal with.
He named me executor of the estate, gave me control of the company-- everything he knew I didn't want.
Your father was a complicated man.
But he also believed in you.
He could have said it.
At least once.
You know, out loud.
I think this was his way of saying it.
I can't do it.
All right, I can't take it all on, but somehow I feel like I don't have a choice.
It's your family.
This is my family, too.
My home.
What am I supposed to do? You're the only person who can figure that out.
I know it's a lot.
I know you're wondering what the hell your father was thinking, but he trusted you to handle this.
And that's what you're gonna do.
(scoffs) That easy, huh? Nah, nothing easy about it.
SEBASTIAN: Pride.
I got something.
So, Percy and Gregorio found those fingerprints in a living room closet in Neil Clydell's house.
They match a Dixie Mafia member named Sam Chambers.
Supposed to mean something to me? No, because Chambers changed his name to Jansen six months ago, right before he got a job as a bartender at Delilah's.
LASALLE: I questioned him at the club the other day.
His prints were on the inside of the closet.
Suggesting he was laying in wait.
Why would he kill Neil? Well, Neil and Josie were in a relationship.
- - Maybe Sam questioned his loyalty.
Tying up loose ends.
But why not shoot Josie, too? He's got other plans for her.
PRIDE: Wha? What is it, Sebastian? Those two clubs that Clydell ran that burned down, where the owners died in both cases? They were made to look like they started the fires.
A frame-up job.
And Chambers has a history of arson and explosives on his rap sheet.
PATTON: Pride.
Motion-activated camera Theo put in Felix's office just turned on.
SEBASTIAN: Are they rigging it to burn? PRIDE: Zoom in, Patton.
Come on, hurry up.
LASALLE: That's Josie.
SAM: Grab it.
Have Gregorio and Percy get there now.
Chris, with me.
All right, let's go.
PRIDE: Okay.
You get the employees out.
I'll go after Josie.
I need everyone to clear this building.
- What's going on? - Everybody out now.
Let's go, come on.
(beeping) NCIS! Hands where I can see 'em.
(gunshots) (grunts) (device beeps) One suspect down.
Jansen's wounded, heading out the back.
You got to grab him, Chris.
Come on.
What about you, King? Fire's already been set.
It's bad.
I'm going in for Josie.
Can't go in there alone.
You get Jansen.
I got this.
You got it.
Josie.
Hey.
Hey.
Come on.
(grunts) (straining) What the? LASALLE: Sam! Federal agent! Stop where you are! Everybody everybody get down! Get down! Take cover! (people screaming) Cover, take cover! (siren wailing) (tires squeal) On the ground! Drop your weapon! Do it! Move! Move! (shouts) You good? Yeah.
Where's Pride? He's in there! PRIDE: All right.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Hey, King! In here, Chris! - King! King! - Can't get out.
Got to move the beam.
(straining) PRIDE: We don't have much time.
King! We got a fire extinguisher.
(fire extinguisher whooshing) (straining) (grunts) Okay.
Come on.
Get the fire extinguisher in there! Hurry! Got it! (fire extinguisher whooshing) (Josie coughing) (Pride coughing) (sirens wailing) (fire truck horn blows) I'm awful glad you came back now.

(chuckles weakly, coughs) I've had better days.
You here to arrest me? I'm here to check in on you.
Got this back from NOPD.
Your guitar.
Thanks.
We've been through a lot together.
Josie told me what happened.
About Neil and the fire.
That you saved her life.
Wasn't just me.
How about the club? Little worse for wear.
But still standing.
Just like us, huh? It didn't have to go down like this, Felix.
I wanted to tell you, Dwayne.
But I was afraid.
And I was stupid.
I thought I could handle it on my own.
I know you just think of me as a wildly talented piano player.
But I'm a better cop.
You should've come to me.
Hey, um, you going to Delilah's? Uh, got a lot to do here, you know, setting up with the funeral and all.
Come on.
Josie's gonna be singing, and you know Pride's gonna end up playing.
You don't want to miss that.
(chuckles) Maybe later.
You haven't really said much the last couple of days.
You all right? It comes and goes, you know? Sometimes I I feel fine, and then other times I feel like I've been hit by a two-by-four.
Yeah.
Be better to get through all this.
Hey, it may help to bring a friend.
I mean, my go-bag is packed, so just let me know, and I'm (whooshes) (chuckles) (chuckles) Yeah.

You're right.
Sure.
Let's go.
Yeah! Hey, Christopher.
Rachel.
What are you doing here? Ambushing you-- since you won't return my calls.
I wasn't avoiding you.
I thought we could talk at the funeral.
RACHEL: You would have avoided me there, too.
Your game hasn't changed since you were ten.
(laughs): Hi.
I'm Sonja Percy.
Hi.
And you are totally right about Lasalle-- he's a master avoider.

Um, Percy, this is Rachel Modine, family attorney.
Oh.
And good friend.
Right.
Uh, Sonja here is one of, uh, my coworkers.
Um I'm-I'm actually gonna split uh, and go meet up with the other coworkers.
You should bring the family lawyer if you want.
Am I gonna have to chase you across state lines every time I need a signature? No, you're not gonna have to chase me.
'Cause I'm gonna be right here.
Where I belong.
I'm not moving back to Alabama.
If I'm running the family business, I'm doing it from right here.
I have to tell you, Chris, I'm not a big fan of New Orleans.
(chuckles) Well, we're gonna change that.
And I'm just supposed to shuttle back and forth? Well, you did promise me you'd be there every step of the way.
