NCIS New Orleans (2014) s05e05 Episode Script
In the Blood
1 MAN: Let's go.
Move.
- I said move! - (grunts) Uh, hey, watch the jacket, man.
That jacket's the least of your concern.
All right.
I mean, despite our philosophical differences, man, ain't no reason we can't come to some kind of arrangement here.
(grunts) (spits) (laughs) - Point taken.
- Open it.
Soon as I open this up, I think we all gonna feel a whole lot better.
Fact is, plenty enough in here for everybody.
Okay, all right, this is unexpected.
But y'all just give me a moment to explain.
(gasps) (gunshots) NCIS:New Orleans 5x05 In the Blood Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
(piano playing) I climb Up a mountain Want to jump in And swim The sea ANGEL: Mom does play other songs, right? I mean, maybe something a little more upbeat.
Why are you here? Don't you get tired of this? Same memory, same moment, over and over? Gives me comfort.
You didn't come back for comfort.
Here with me You're the kind of love Sent from up above You were a cutie.
MAN: All right.
Let's go, kiddo.
Come on.
Be my copilot.
What I wouldn't do You coming? To hold you ever so tight I'd walk What is this? I don't know.
It's your dream.
(phone ringing) You really should get that.
(phone ringing) Yeah, Christopher? LASALLE: I woke you up this morning, didn't I? Yeah.
What do we got? Four dead men, all members of a white nationalist group called True Guard.
- True Guard deals meth.
- Some kind of a drug dispute? Well, if there was, the killers were better-trained than usual.
Expert marksmen using high-powered rifles, firing from two directions.
Morning, Loretta.
What can you tell me about the victims? (sighs) All killed instantly.
Center-mass shots with high-caliber rounds.
Yeah, they got wiped out before even getting a round off.
Yeah, maybe not all of them.
You find something, Sebastian? I found some footprints leading away from this container to a clearing over here.
Whoever it was, they didn't get away unscathed.
I found traces of blood.
I'll run those through CODIS.
So we got four dead white nationalists, out in the middle of nowhere.
Why did the sheriff call NCIS? They didn't.
I did.
You'll want to look inside, Dwayne.
This, uh, used to be an old boatyard.
Ran out of business a few years ago.
Looks like someone used this container for storage.
Storage for what? Bunch of kids toys? Not just any kid.
These are mine.
Any idea how they got here? Yeah.
Got one idea in particular.
Cassius Pride.
New Orleans legend, fixer to politicians and gangsters alike, had his finger in every corrupt pie in the city.
Guess that apple fell far from that tree, huh? Whole other orchard.
Cassius finally got pinched over a bribery scheme.
Half the judges in the state were on his payroll.
Served 20 years in prison.
He got out a few months ago.
Yeah, because Pride wrote a letter to the parole board, huh? Guess they're close? Yeah, close to killing each other.
- It's complicated, yeah.
- Where is he now? Supposed to be on parole in Lafayette.
Lasalle has a call in to check up on him.
I'm tracking down the owner of the boatyard.
I'm trying to see who used that container for storage.
Great.
We need to know what was in there and whether it was worth killing over.
(cell phone beeps) Sebastian got a hit on the unknown blood from the crime scene.
Meet James Edwin Boyd.
Last known whereabouts: Raleigh, North Carolina.
He's got a record going all the way back to his teens.
Fraud, theft, forgery.
It's felonies but nothing violent.
Until today.
No one walks away from that slaughter unless they're involved, right? Depends.
What's the evidence say? Whole lot of nothing.
Got, uh, cardboard boxes, furniture fibers, tire residue off of an old car.
Nothing valuable like drugs or weapons or hidden treasure.
Thanks.
No one's going to be surprised to hear: Cassius hasn't reported to his parole officer this week.
North Carolina state troopers found his abandoned car outside of Raleigh a few days ago.
James Boyd's last known address was also in Raleigh.
Can't be a coincidence.
Well, we know where they were.
So where are they now? (sighs) Dwayne.
Enough with the book.
(exhales) There's an envelope in that glove box.
How about you get that for me? Careful.
Put all that back up in there.
And don't mess with that gun.
It's not a toy.
(laughs) I'll be right back.
When I'm down You will know just how I feel I got to understand It's just Born into violence, it seems.
Nobody knows Don't look at me.
Go.
Learn things.
LASALLE: King.
Sorry, I, uh You okay? (clears throat) What you got? Well, last week, Raleigh PD ran surveillance on a local after-hours joint, snapped photos of these two.
PRIDE: Guess I'm not surprised.
May have an address here in New Orleans for James Boyd.
His mom passed away a few years ago, left him a house in Tremé.
Team's on the way.
Thank you, Christopher.
Pretty sure D.
C.
wouldn't approve of me bringing the regional SAC onto a tactical op.
- Can't disagree.
- As long as we're clear on how we're pissing them off this week.
- Mm-hmm.
- GREGORIO: Movement inside.
At least two, maybe more.
Lasalle, you're in the back with me.
Following you, boss.
Pride, are you okay? - Gregorio! - (gunfire) (gunshot) (groans) We got a rabbit! (grunting) Knife! (yelling and grunting) Pride, suspect's in custody.
PRIDE (over comm): Copy that.
Hiya, kid.
Hell of a reunion.
I do believe this is the first time a coroner's given me first aid.
Thank your son I'm working on you here and not at the morgue.
It's been a minute, Loretta.
You're charming as ever.
Ow! Cassius.
Dwayne suffered enough because of you.
The last thing he needs is any more problems.
I know.
He nearly died.
He did die.
He's just stubborn.
- Didn't stick.
- Listen, you got to look at it from my perspective.
To learn that your son was nearly killed on the nightly news? Well, I'd hope it would make you question your parenting skills.
No, I reached out.
I called a dozen times.
I never heard a word back.
What, you're looking for sympathy? No, I'm looking for clarification.
Cutting me off was his choice, not mine.
And I know I've made my share of mistakes, but I-I paid my debt.
I did my time.
And he got you out years early just for you to land right back in the thick of trouble.
Hey, I am the victim here.
I was grabbed off the street by those thugs.
And I-I would explain that to Dwayne if he would just talk to me.
Well, he is busy trying to fix whatever mess you got into.
Now, you just sit still, 'cause this is gonna hurt.
(groans) You hit like a girl.
That's what you get for trying to stab a federal agent.
It's called self-defense.
It's called attempted murder.
- Add that to a kidnapping charge.
- Kidnapping? No way.
We were holding Cassius 'cause he's a double-crossing snake.
No argument there.
All we wanted is what's owed.
Protection money.
Your guard was protecting Cassius in prison? For 20 years, he could sleep like a baby on our hard work.
Soon as he gets out, he skips town.
Now he's back with his new partner.
You mean James Boyd? They thought they could get the money on their own.
Cut us out.
The money was supposed to be in the container.
Cassius wouldn't say, but Jimmy gave it up.
Took my boys there.
Slaughtered them like animals.
And I'm the one in chains.
How much money we talking? $3 million.
Yeah, greatest heist in New Orleans history, and you have no clue.
You're talking about the River Grand Casino? Yeah.
Yeah, Cassius Pride planned the whole thing.
HANNAH: What's the River Grand heist? 20 years ago, two men broke into the River Grand Casino, killed three employees, walked with $3 million, disappeared into legend.
No arrests? No leads? Money was never recovered.
Was your father involved? PRIDE: Only one way to find out.
(sighs) Ah, the prodigal son.
River Grand Casino.
What do you know? Only stories.
Something to pass the time during my incarceration.
You're lying.
(scoffs) How do you know? Your lips are moving.
(chuckles) Listen, we need to talk alone.
No.
- Oh, I don't mind.
- I do.
Stay.
The thing you need to understand about my career: I got to tell stories in order to gain respect.
You sent four men to their deaths, and it wasn't over nothing.
I was in a bit of a bind.
- Literally.
- So you had your buddy Jimmy Boyd set an ambush.
But I'm thinking he double-crossed you, took the money.
- There is no money.
- (scoffs) And Jimmy's no killer.
He knew that that container was just filled with my old stuff.
He was stalling.
That container has been empty for years.
Well, what happened to my things? That's what you're gonna tell me.
Because whoever killed those men is probably still looking for your things, and I don't want innocent people to get hurt.
It's not my fault.
Nothing ever is.
Oh, yeah.
It always comes back to this, doesn't it? Your mother was fragile.
She was drifting away.
She was sick.
You can't blame me because she went nuts.
Say another word, and I will knock you on your ass! You understand me? Hey! Family time is over.
(coughing) Oh, he's probably got broken ribs.
He should get to the hospital.
Take Christopher.
Keep an eye on him.
He's slippery.
You nearly died.
And you wouldn't even let me talk to you.
That was a wakeup call.
That's why I came home.
I know you think, uh, that I don't care about you, but I do.
On second thought I'll find Christopher myself.
Christopher and Dr.
Wade are escorting Cassius to the hospital.
Pride didn't go? He's taking some cooldown time.
Who can blame him? This case is a mess, and it's probably Cassius's responsibility.
We're gonna sort it out.
First things first-- Jimmy Boyd.
If he ambushed those men, he had help.
We need to track him down.
SEBASTIAN: Patton's going through traffic cams and CCTVs around the city-- no sign of Jimmy yet.
Whatever he was looking for was not in that storage container.
Yeah, all the contents got sold off at public auction.
We need to trace who bought what.
I had NOPD send the case file.
Robbery went down a month before he was arrested on bribery charges.
Any suspects? A couple of people of interest, nothing solid.
Plus, the River Grand wasn't exactly cooperative.
Yeah, they were more interested in keeping the robbery quiet than finding the money.
So we reinvestigate the case.
We put the pieces together ourselves.
We have one witness: Gina Powell.
Casino floor manager was wounded outside the count room where the others were killed.
All right, we should talk to her.
No need.
Pride pulled the case files, too.
He's on his way to see Gina Powell himself.
I guess he knows her.
So much for cooling off.
Dwayne Pride.
You know, one of us owes the other a phone call.
(laughing): But I don't remember who.
Ah, I'm sure it's me, Gina.
It's good to see you thriving.
They just keep throwing fancier titles at me.
Chief executive of leisure activities.
You keep the party going.
And you're still fighting the good fight.
Don't know any other way, but this one's personal for both of us.
- River Grand Casino heist.
- Mm.
This is, uh, Todd Jamieson, Risk Management.
- How are you? - Asked him to join.
Though I'm not sure why you're interested in ancient history.
Three dead, three million stolen.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't be.
I was there, Dwayne.
- I still have nightmares about it, but MAN: Ms.
Powell.
life goes on.
Excuse me.
MAN: Sign here, please.
There has, uh, been a development.
Four more people were killed, supposedly over the missing money.
Not gonna hit the news, is it? Todd.
Okay, now, you said this was personal for both of us.
I lost friends that day; almost died.
What's your stake? Cassius may be involved.
Your dad was very good to me and my father.
Got this job because of him.
Because he delivered hush money for the men who built River Grand.
(quietly): Okay.
Also ancient history.
Our business is run by a board of directors now, not gangsters.
What are you looking for, Dwayne? I want what River Grand really knows about the robbery.
- Read the police report.
- I have.
Management was tight-lipped; no one was talking.
I told those investigators everything I possibly could.
I know you did, Gina, which is why I'm here now, friend to friend.
I'm not looking to dredge up the casino's past or embarrass anyone.
I just want to right a wrong.
Let me see what I can find.
Thank you.
Hey.
Spoke to Lasalle at the hospital.
They're keeping Cassius overnight for observation.
His injuries that severe? Doctors won't talk to anyone but the family, and Pride's not interested.
PATTON: Jimmy Boyd is back on the map.
He's still in New Orleans.
The gall, considering the body count he's responsible for.
I've been searching these traffic cams all day looking for an exit point, but he's not trying to flee.
- Where is he, Patton? As of this afternoon, he's a block away from where you found Cassius.
The exact same time.
He knows we have Cassius.
Got to assume he knows we're looking for him, too.
- What's his angle? - Tammy, call Lasalle.
Tell him to keep his eyes peeled.
I'll loop Dwayne in.
(buzzing) CASSIUS: Baby, come on.
Just take it.
Take it.
Come on.
I want to help.
I don't need this kind of help, Cassius.
Well, what do you need, hmm? You.
No.
Baby, you got me.
You seem surprised.
You had to know Dad got around.
Ah.
You know but he didn't.
Not like that, Cassius.
The boy needs a man.
Time to wake up, Dwayne.
He's waiting.
(gasps) Don't move.
Or what? You gonna shoot your own brother, Jimmy? (chuckles) Been imagining this moment my whole life, actually meeting my half brother face to face.
Always pointing a gun at me when you imagined it? No, that part's a little bit of a surprise.
(chuckles) Gonna need the weapon, Jimmy.
Yeah, of course.
Sorry.
I mean, guns aren't really my style.
Yeah, I can tell.
Safety's on.
Ah, yeah, I just didn't want you shooting me before we chatted.
You knew Cassius had another family? Mom said we weren't really allowed to talk about it, but yeah, yeah, I knew.
Ah, she was an amazing woman.
Kept me out of trouble more or less.
(chuckles) Only weak spot was Pop.
Couldn't say no.
Yeah, Cassius has that way.
Trouble always follows.
Mm.
Truth.
Jimmy, I'm gonna need you to put your hands on top of that cabinet.
What, you gonna frisk me? You're a murder suspect and a fugitive.
Man, I been keeping clean.
I'm the one nearly got shot.
'Cause I was trying to help Pop.
Those True Guard dudes would have beat him to death if I hadn't taken 'em to that container.
- So you had 'em all killed? - Whoa.
I may not be a Boy Scout like you, but I never killed anyone.
I have no clue who those shooters were.
(phone beeps) You got any beers? I figure we crack a couple, hash this whole thing out.
This isn't Miller time.
Don't you have, like, a million questions? - Now, I know I do.
- Yeah.
Let's start with the four dead men.
Yeah, all right.
Gonna catch some killers.
(laughs) How can I help? Start by turning around again, putting your hands behind your back.
- We don't need the bracelets, though, do we? - Turn.
Oh, come on, man.
We family.
(cuffs fastening) I got your text.
You found something? Uh, looks like you did.
Well, technically, I found him.
Jimmy Boyd.
Dwayne's brother.
- What? - Excuse me? Half brother, actually.
Another byproduct of Cassius' colorful personality.
Uh, do you mind if I steal a couple of those? I haven't eaten anything all day.
Pride, you sure you don't want Sebastian to run a DNA test or something? What I want is an update.
Okay, River Grand sent over security footage from the night of the robbery.
Hannah took it and the original NOPD case file to the lab, looking for a new lead.
And I also got a hold of public auction records from a few years ago.
Tracking who bought all of Cassius's old stuff.
We're not the only one to inquire; someone else called.
- Oh, that'd be Pop.
- Stay out of this, Jimmy.
He's right, your father accessed the same auction records, used the computer at the hospital to check 'em out.
Lasalle was watching him.
They keep taking Cassius for all these tests.
Lasalle waits outside.
No way he had three million cash sitting in that container.
Oh, no, he definitely did.
Brought it there myself.
(scoffs) When, Jimmy? 20 years ago.
He needed help settling his affairs before he went to prison.
- Where was it hidden? JIMMY: I have no idea.
He's telling me (cell phone rings) one way or the other.
- I'm heading to that hospital.
- Yeah, bye.
Don't bother.
He's gone.
Lasalle said he slipped out during an MRI.
All right, get a BOLO out.
Every cop in the city needs to be looking for him.
JIMMY: You could do that.
Or you could cut the middle man.
(sighs) 'Cause I know exactly where he's going.
JIMMY: This club is the best-kept secret in New Orleans.
Never been raided.
Cops don't even know it exists.
Every minute we waste here is a minute that Cassius is getting away.
You got to trust me, big brother.
Please don't call me that.
Here we go.
(loud hip-hop music playing) (laughter) Hey, what's up, man? - Hey, my brother.
- Hey, Jimmy.
Cassius is trying to get out of town with $3 million.
Why would he come to a club? 'Cause this is Dario's spot.
Best print man in the Southeast.
I hooked 'em up.
False documents, Jimmy? - I thought you were clean.
- I am.
Straight and narrow for 15 months.
Then Pops rolls into town.
Thought by now you'd know how to avoid him.
What can I say? I got a soft spot for the old man.
Just like Mama.
There's Dario.
All right, now, let me do the talking, okay? Try not to look so federal.
Dario.
My man.
Looking tight.
- I don't want any of what you got.
- Look, I just want to ask you a question about a client I sent your way: Cassius Pride.
You got me mixed up with someone else.
Working on a couple passports for us.
Don't embarrass me in front of my friend.
Your friend is a cop, which makes you a snitch.
Your best option is to turn around and get out before I get security.
Yeah, well, here's another option.
I call a team of federal agents, and they storm this place and arrest everybody in here.
Except for you, Dario.
I'm gonna sit you right down at the edge of that bar and make sure that everyone in here gets a good look at the guy who's turning 'em in.
- That is cold.
- All right, all right.
I'm meeting Cassius in a few hours.
- Where? - Pump station on St.
Claude.
Canadian passport, clean title for his car.
Wait, hold on.
Where's mine? He only asked for the one.
This is for a '72 El Dorado.
I remember that car.
Good to see you, chief.
Just spoke to Pride.
He might have a lead on Cassius.
- What you got? - (sighs) I got the witness statement from Gina Powell.
It says that she and her boss were, uh, shot outside the count room.
Guards were killed inside, and then she played dead until the gunmen got away with the cash.
Right, and then she used her boss's tie to make a tourniquet; it probably saved her life.
Right, well, that's that's the interesting part.
Here, take a look at this.
The knot is on the outside.
If she had done that herself, it'd be facing in.
She needed help.
Yeah.
The only people in that room were robbers and dead men.
Let's dig deeper into Gina Powell.
JIMMY: Yeah, Pop loved that El Dorado.
PRIDE: I spent half my childhood riding around in it.
You remember that nasty softener he used to rub into the leather? Ah, I loved that smell.
(laughs) He taught me to drive in that car.
Didn't spend much time together, but for a month, when I was 16, he'd take me out.
Not in town, of course.
Too many prying eyes.
Barking orders at me.
It was nice.
Speak of the devil.
We about to have a serious conversation about one passport.
Yeah, listen, just let me do the talking.
Until I get him in cuffs.
(tires screech) (rapid gunfire) Jimmy, stay down! What are you doing? I'm gonna try to get to Pop.
Cover me.
(gunfire) - Jimmy! - (tires screeching) (tires screeching) (panting) Dwayne, are you okay? Had better days.
Got BOLOs out on the black SUVs and Cassius's car.
- We're gonna find him and Jimmy.
- Hope so.
Just learned I have a brother.
Like to keep him alive long enough to get to know him.
Sebastian's still running forensics, but the ballistics from the pump station match the rounds that killed the True Guard members.
Well, those gunmen were well trained and well informed.
They knew where Cassius would be.
- I have no idea how.
- Actually, they were following you.
And I think we know who tipped them off.
NOPD found two persons of interest in the River Grand heist.
A pair of low-level stickup men.
Never arrested for the heist, but they both ended up in prison for other crimes.
Commissary accounts maxed out every month for years, thanks to Gina Powell.
They both died violently inside, probably also thanks to her.
Only reason Gina would pay them off and then have them killed is if she was involved in the robbery.
Not just involved.
We think she planned it.
She showed up on the day and took a bullet to make it look legit.
In 20 years, Gina Powell made no move to get that money only to cover up a crime? Why? Well, she's not interested in the cash.
She just doesn't want to be exposed.
HANNAH: With good reason.
The River Grand may have a board of directors now, but they're still heavily financed by organized crime.
They find out what she did, and she's dead.
And Cassius is the only person still alive who can tie her to that robbery.
She had her men take Jimmy as leverage.
Cassius doesn't care about anybody except Cassius.
He'll go off the grid unless we find him first.
(cell phone ringing) Hello? PRIDE (on phone): Gonna need you to pull over, Cassius.
Dwayne.
Well, you were never one to disappoint.
How'd you get this number? Perk of my new job.
All sorts of access to federal agencies with high-tech equipment.
Believe it or not, I was gonna call you.
I'm on my way to fix things right now.
Like you fixed my Little League career? Hey, you were a natural-born shortstop.
The coach just didn't see it.
So you planted a brick of hash in his truck and had him arrested.
(chuckling): Well, it worked, didn't it? And don't you worry.
I'm gonna handle the Jimmy situation right now.
Oh, I know you will.
(brakes squeaking) How'd you get here so fast? I've been driving all day.
FBI loaned me a plane.
Where's the money? (chuckles) That is the cosmic joke of all time.
I don't have it.
I never did.
So you went to all this trouble coming back to New Orleans, nearly getting killed, just to get the old Caddy back? Well, I love this car, son.
You, uh Do you remember The French Connection? Of course.
I took you to that movie.
You left me at that movie.
All day.
While you were out collecting bribes.
Is there a point? The scene where the cops pulled the car apart looking for the drugs? I won't have to work as hard.
I know this looks bad.
I wasn't involved in the robbery.
I was just involved in the clean-up.
And people were not supposed to die.
They never are.
So, what? Gina asked you to get rid of the money? Yep.
But waste not, want not.
You gonna arrest me now? No.
I'm gonna keep you to your word for once.
You're gonna fix this mess.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats! (audience cheering) I'm all right today You gonna find a way to cross And you gonna get there I'm on fire today Ain't no water here to calm or even put me out Thanks.
I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry I'm gonna leave it all out there Dwayne.
I personally approved this guest list.
Your name wasn't on it.
Friend of the band.
Nathaniel and I go back.
What can I do for you? You can give me Jimmy Boyd.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And in return, I'll give you the three million (unzips bag) that you stole from River Grand.
What the hell, Dwayne? What? They don't know? That you set up your own casino to get robbed? Okay, I you have lost me now.
Did I? Your guy seems to get where I'm coming from.
Everything all right? We got evidence.
Maybe not enough to prove in court, but plenty to convince your bosses.
What do you want? No cops, no strings.
Just us.
You get your money, I get Jimmy.
Money's worthless without Cassius.
You got him, we can deal.
So let's deal.
I make a call, Cassius is outside in 30 seconds.
I need your weapon.
This ain't a getaway You built walls around your heart To try to lock it in Come on.
I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry I'm gonna leave it all out there I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry up I'm gonna leave it all out there I wish it hadn't gone down like this, Dwayne.
If only your father would've done what he was supposed to do-- burn the money.
And die in prison, like the men who robbed the casino for you? I was a different person.
I was totally strung out.
I don't give a crap, Gina.
I want Jimmy, and I want him now.
(door opens) - You all right? JIMMY: Yep.
Though, in retrospect, should've stuck with you at the last shootout.
Cassius? (phone beeps) (line ringing) (over phone): This is Cassius.
Come on in.
I got Jimmy.
CASSIUS: Pulling in now.
(vehicle approaching) Now, Gina, we can work this out.
You let my boys go, we'll talk.
Unfortunately, it's not up to her.
(yells, groans) Management has zero tolerance for betrayal.
Do it now.
Pop! Pop! Check the Caddy.
Make sure Cassius Pride is dead.
What? Then what? What, you'll shoot us? Smarter than he looks.
PRIDE: Take it easy, Jimmy.
30 seconds, my entire team will be up here, and he will be in cuffs.
Really? MAN: We got a problem here.
There's nobody in this car.
Tell me where he is.
If I tell you, I'm dead.
(grunting) Jimmy, no! (gunshot) Move in.
(sirens whoop) (groans) NCIS! Drop your weapon! Get down! GREGORIO: Trying to get a clear shot.
Put it down now.
Jimmy.
Jimmy, you saved my life.
But you need to lower that weapon now.
Right.
'Cause, uh, I'm pretty sure I left the safety on again.
(chuckles) (sirens wailing) CASSIUS: I always knew we'd get out of this mess.
We make a good team.
Think we got a different definition of "team" and "we.
" You were almost to Mexico.
Well, there's plenty of blame to throw around.
You see how I'm not mentioning what Dwayne did to my car? - No, you didn't.
- Oh, all right, okay, all right.
Maybe you ought to just quit while you're ahead, Cassius.
Seeing my two boys together just warms my heart.
Could've happened a lot sooner if you'd been honest.
We all have regrets in our lives.
I guess that I've got more than my share.
I regret ever letting you through my front door.
Well, you're on your own now, kid.
Seems like I have enough information on True Guard's meth operation to land me a very nice spot in WITSEC.
Unbelievable.
Now, I know that I I'm not the father that you two boys deserve, but I want you to know I love you.
I always will.
And that's God's truth.
Come on.
I'll buy you that beer.
You earned it.
JIMMY: Man, I can't believe you bought the Trutone.
- Mm-hmm.
Must be a money pit.
Yeah, well, it has its appeal.
And memories.
D-Man.
Missed most of the show the other night.
Yeah, I got a little occupied.
But thank you for the VIP pass.
It helped me out big-time.
Anything.
I owe you, friend.
But, life lesson: never accept a borrowed car from a bass player in Shongaloo.
(laughter) You're just lucky that I was sitting in on keyboards that night.
That's my cue.
But, uh, you're welcome to sit in again.
Mark won't mind.
Ah, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna hang with my brother tonight.
Well, family first, D.
(chuckling) Hey, Mama, it's me Said you better wait, child Said you've been a long time running You know, it's gonna take me a minute to see him as Pride's brother.
WADE: Are you telling me you can't see a family resemblance? (Lasalle laughs) I ain't touching that.
For real, though, you think Pride can trust him? I hope so.
He deserves something good in his life right now.
Yeah.
Hey.
Come on, Mama, what do you mean? HANNAH: Hey.
Cassius is officially in WitSec's custody.
He won't be a problem anymore.
Well, he may get a new name, but he'll still be the same man.
That looks good.
I am starving.
Yeah, it's all right.
Not as good as my mama's.
(chuckles) Careful.
That's my mama's recipe.
(chuckles): Oh, all right, I'm just saying, you need someone to man the kitchen on the regular Yeah, okay, yeah, well, I'll take it under advisement.
But right now, I'm gonna get Hannah a bowl of my mama's gumbo.
It is good.
But she said, "Son, let me reason with you "You think you carry such a weight (exhales sharply) Yeah.
"I know I never beat you, boy Better start acting like" I think you're looking for this.
What? What? Why are you here? (chuckles) Why are any of us here? (laughs softly) No.
Nah I made my choice.
I chose to live.
You did.
But maybe it's not all about you.
What is this? What are you trying to tell me? (sighs) Dwayne.
You have to figure it out.
I'm not your spirit guide.
I'm your clock.
Ticktock.
(gasps) You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You picked a bad time You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You ain't gone far enough to say At least I tried You ain't gone far enough You ain't worked hard enough, you ain't run far enough To say it ain't gonna get any better.
Move.
- I said move! - (grunts) Uh, hey, watch the jacket, man.
That jacket's the least of your concern.
All right.
I mean, despite our philosophical differences, man, ain't no reason we can't come to some kind of arrangement here.
(grunts) (spits) (laughs) - Point taken.
- Open it.
Soon as I open this up, I think we all gonna feel a whole lot better.
Fact is, plenty enough in here for everybody.
Okay, all right, this is unexpected.
But y'all just give me a moment to explain.
(gasps) (gunshots) NCIS:New Orleans 5x05 In the Blood Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
(piano playing) I climb Up a mountain Want to jump in And swim The sea ANGEL: Mom does play other songs, right? I mean, maybe something a little more upbeat.
Why are you here? Don't you get tired of this? Same memory, same moment, over and over? Gives me comfort.
You didn't come back for comfort.
Here with me You're the kind of love Sent from up above You were a cutie.
MAN: All right.
Let's go, kiddo.
Come on.
Be my copilot.
What I wouldn't do You coming? To hold you ever so tight I'd walk What is this? I don't know.
It's your dream.
(phone ringing) You really should get that.
(phone ringing) Yeah, Christopher? LASALLE: I woke you up this morning, didn't I? Yeah.
What do we got? Four dead men, all members of a white nationalist group called True Guard.
- True Guard deals meth.
- Some kind of a drug dispute? Well, if there was, the killers were better-trained than usual.
Expert marksmen using high-powered rifles, firing from two directions.
Morning, Loretta.
What can you tell me about the victims? (sighs) All killed instantly.
Center-mass shots with high-caliber rounds.
Yeah, they got wiped out before even getting a round off.
Yeah, maybe not all of them.
You find something, Sebastian? I found some footprints leading away from this container to a clearing over here.
Whoever it was, they didn't get away unscathed.
I found traces of blood.
I'll run those through CODIS.
So we got four dead white nationalists, out in the middle of nowhere.
Why did the sheriff call NCIS? They didn't.
I did.
You'll want to look inside, Dwayne.
This, uh, used to be an old boatyard.
Ran out of business a few years ago.
Looks like someone used this container for storage.
Storage for what? Bunch of kids toys? Not just any kid.
These are mine.
Any idea how they got here? Yeah.
Got one idea in particular.
Cassius Pride.
New Orleans legend, fixer to politicians and gangsters alike, had his finger in every corrupt pie in the city.
Guess that apple fell far from that tree, huh? Whole other orchard.
Cassius finally got pinched over a bribery scheme.
Half the judges in the state were on his payroll.
Served 20 years in prison.
He got out a few months ago.
Yeah, because Pride wrote a letter to the parole board, huh? Guess they're close? Yeah, close to killing each other.
- It's complicated, yeah.
- Where is he now? Supposed to be on parole in Lafayette.
Lasalle has a call in to check up on him.
I'm tracking down the owner of the boatyard.
I'm trying to see who used that container for storage.
Great.
We need to know what was in there and whether it was worth killing over.
(cell phone beeps) Sebastian got a hit on the unknown blood from the crime scene.
Meet James Edwin Boyd.
Last known whereabouts: Raleigh, North Carolina.
He's got a record going all the way back to his teens.
Fraud, theft, forgery.
It's felonies but nothing violent.
Until today.
No one walks away from that slaughter unless they're involved, right? Depends.
What's the evidence say? Whole lot of nothing.
Got, uh, cardboard boxes, furniture fibers, tire residue off of an old car.
Nothing valuable like drugs or weapons or hidden treasure.
Thanks.
No one's going to be surprised to hear: Cassius hasn't reported to his parole officer this week.
North Carolina state troopers found his abandoned car outside of Raleigh a few days ago.
James Boyd's last known address was also in Raleigh.
Can't be a coincidence.
Well, we know where they were.
So where are they now? (sighs) Dwayne.
Enough with the book.
(exhales) There's an envelope in that glove box.
How about you get that for me? Careful.
Put all that back up in there.
And don't mess with that gun.
It's not a toy.
(laughs) I'll be right back.
When I'm down You will know just how I feel I got to understand It's just Born into violence, it seems.
Nobody knows Don't look at me.
Go.
Learn things.
LASALLE: King.
Sorry, I, uh You okay? (clears throat) What you got? Well, last week, Raleigh PD ran surveillance on a local after-hours joint, snapped photos of these two.
PRIDE: Guess I'm not surprised.
May have an address here in New Orleans for James Boyd.
His mom passed away a few years ago, left him a house in Tremé.
Team's on the way.
Thank you, Christopher.
Pretty sure D.
C.
wouldn't approve of me bringing the regional SAC onto a tactical op.
- Can't disagree.
- As long as we're clear on how we're pissing them off this week.
- Mm-hmm.
- GREGORIO: Movement inside.
At least two, maybe more.
Lasalle, you're in the back with me.
Following you, boss.
Pride, are you okay? - Gregorio! - (gunfire) (gunshot) (groans) We got a rabbit! (grunting) Knife! (yelling and grunting) Pride, suspect's in custody.
PRIDE (over comm): Copy that.
Hiya, kid.
Hell of a reunion.
I do believe this is the first time a coroner's given me first aid.
Thank your son I'm working on you here and not at the morgue.
It's been a minute, Loretta.
You're charming as ever.
Ow! Cassius.
Dwayne suffered enough because of you.
The last thing he needs is any more problems.
I know.
He nearly died.
He did die.
He's just stubborn.
- Didn't stick.
- Listen, you got to look at it from my perspective.
To learn that your son was nearly killed on the nightly news? Well, I'd hope it would make you question your parenting skills.
No, I reached out.
I called a dozen times.
I never heard a word back.
What, you're looking for sympathy? No, I'm looking for clarification.
Cutting me off was his choice, not mine.
And I know I've made my share of mistakes, but I-I paid my debt.
I did my time.
And he got you out years early just for you to land right back in the thick of trouble.
Hey, I am the victim here.
I was grabbed off the street by those thugs.
And I-I would explain that to Dwayne if he would just talk to me.
Well, he is busy trying to fix whatever mess you got into.
Now, you just sit still, 'cause this is gonna hurt.
(groans) You hit like a girl.
That's what you get for trying to stab a federal agent.
It's called self-defense.
It's called attempted murder.
- Add that to a kidnapping charge.
- Kidnapping? No way.
We were holding Cassius 'cause he's a double-crossing snake.
No argument there.
All we wanted is what's owed.
Protection money.
Your guard was protecting Cassius in prison? For 20 years, he could sleep like a baby on our hard work.
Soon as he gets out, he skips town.
Now he's back with his new partner.
You mean James Boyd? They thought they could get the money on their own.
Cut us out.
The money was supposed to be in the container.
Cassius wouldn't say, but Jimmy gave it up.
Took my boys there.
Slaughtered them like animals.
And I'm the one in chains.
How much money we talking? $3 million.
Yeah, greatest heist in New Orleans history, and you have no clue.
You're talking about the River Grand Casino? Yeah.
Yeah, Cassius Pride planned the whole thing.
HANNAH: What's the River Grand heist? 20 years ago, two men broke into the River Grand Casino, killed three employees, walked with $3 million, disappeared into legend.
No arrests? No leads? Money was never recovered.
Was your father involved? PRIDE: Only one way to find out.
(sighs) Ah, the prodigal son.
River Grand Casino.
What do you know? Only stories.
Something to pass the time during my incarceration.
You're lying.
(scoffs) How do you know? Your lips are moving.
(chuckles) Listen, we need to talk alone.
No.
- Oh, I don't mind.
- I do.
Stay.
The thing you need to understand about my career: I got to tell stories in order to gain respect.
You sent four men to their deaths, and it wasn't over nothing.
I was in a bit of a bind.
- Literally.
- So you had your buddy Jimmy Boyd set an ambush.
But I'm thinking he double-crossed you, took the money.
- There is no money.
- (scoffs) And Jimmy's no killer.
He knew that that container was just filled with my old stuff.
He was stalling.
That container has been empty for years.
Well, what happened to my things? That's what you're gonna tell me.
Because whoever killed those men is probably still looking for your things, and I don't want innocent people to get hurt.
It's not my fault.
Nothing ever is.
Oh, yeah.
It always comes back to this, doesn't it? Your mother was fragile.
She was drifting away.
She was sick.
You can't blame me because she went nuts.
Say another word, and I will knock you on your ass! You understand me? Hey! Family time is over.
(coughing) Oh, he's probably got broken ribs.
He should get to the hospital.
Take Christopher.
Keep an eye on him.
He's slippery.
You nearly died.
And you wouldn't even let me talk to you.
That was a wakeup call.
That's why I came home.
I know you think, uh, that I don't care about you, but I do.
On second thought I'll find Christopher myself.
Christopher and Dr.
Wade are escorting Cassius to the hospital.
Pride didn't go? He's taking some cooldown time.
Who can blame him? This case is a mess, and it's probably Cassius's responsibility.
We're gonna sort it out.
First things first-- Jimmy Boyd.
If he ambushed those men, he had help.
We need to track him down.
SEBASTIAN: Patton's going through traffic cams and CCTVs around the city-- no sign of Jimmy yet.
Whatever he was looking for was not in that storage container.
Yeah, all the contents got sold off at public auction.
We need to trace who bought what.
I had NOPD send the case file.
Robbery went down a month before he was arrested on bribery charges.
Any suspects? A couple of people of interest, nothing solid.
Plus, the River Grand wasn't exactly cooperative.
Yeah, they were more interested in keeping the robbery quiet than finding the money.
So we reinvestigate the case.
We put the pieces together ourselves.
We have one witness: Gina Powell.
Casino floor manager was wounded outside the count room where the others were killed.
All right, we should talk to her.
No need.
Pride pulled the case files, too.
He's on his way to see Gina Powell himself.
I guess he knows her.
So much for cooling off.
Dwayne Pride.
You know, one of us owes the other a phone call.
(laughing): But I don't remember who.
Ah, I'm sure it's me, Gina.
It's good to see you thriving.
They just keep throwing fancier titles at me.
Chief executive of leisure activities.
You keep the party going.
And you're still fighting the good fight.
Don't know any other way, but this one's personal for both of us.
- River Grand Casino heist.
- Mm.
This is, uh, Todd Jamieson, Risk Management.
- How are you? - Asked him to join.
Though I'm not sure why you're interested in ancient history.
Three dead, three million stolen.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't be.
I was there, Dwayne.
- I still have nightmares about it, but MAN: Ms.
Powell.
life goes on.
Excuse me.
MAN: Sign here, please.
There has, uh, been a development.
Four more people were killed, supposedly over the missing money.
Not gonna hit the news, is it? Todd.
Okay, now, you said this was personal for both of us.
I lost friends that day; almost died.
What's your stake? Cassius may be involved.
Your dad was very good to me and my father.
Got this job because of him.
Because he delivered hush money for the men who built River Grand.
(quietly): Okay.
Also ancient history.
Our business is run by a board of directors now, not gangsters.
What are you looking for, Dwayne? I want what River Grand really knows about the robbery.
- Read the police report.
- I have.
Management was tight-lipped; no one was talking.
I told those investigators everything I possibly could.
I know you did, Gina, which is why I'm here now, friend to friend.
I'm not looking to dredge up the casino's past or embarrass anyone.
I just want to right a wrong.
Let me see what I can find.
Thank you.
Hey.
Spoke to Lasalle at the hospital.
They're keeping Cassius overnight for observation.
His injuries that severe? Doctors won't talk to anyone but the family, and Pride's not interested.
PATTON: Jimmy Boyd is back on the map.
He's still in New Orleans.
The gall, considering the body count he's responsible for.
I've been searching these traffic cams all day looking for an exit point, but he's not trying to flee.
- Where is he, Patton? As of this afternoon, he's a block away from where you found Cassius.
The exact same time.
He knows we have Cassius.
Got to assume he knows we're looking for him, too.
- What's his angle? - Tammy, call Lasalle.
Tell him to keep his eyes peeled.
I'll loop Dwayne in.
(buzzing) CASSIUS: Baby, come on.
Just take it.
Take it.
Come on.
I want to help.
I don't need this kind of help, Cassius.
Well, what do you need, hmm? You.
No.
Baby, you got me.
You seem surprised.
You had to know Dad got around.
Ah.
You know but he didn't.
Not like that, Cassius.
The boy needs a man.
Time to wake up, Dwayne.
He's waiting.
(gasps) Don't move.
Or what? You gonna shoot your own brother, Jimmy? (chuckles) Been imagining this moment my whole life, actually meeting my half brother face to face.
Always pointing a gun at me when you imagined it? No, that part's a little bit of a surprise.
(chuckles) Gonna need the weapon, Jimmy.
Yeah, of course.
Sorry.
I mean, guns aren't really my style.
Yeah, I can tell.
Safety's on.
Ah, yeah, I just didn't want you shooting me before we chatted.
You knew Cassius had another family? Mom said we weren't really allowed to talk about it, but yeah, yeah, I knew.
Ah, she was an amazing woman.
Kept me out of trouble more or less.
(chuckles) Only weak spot was Pop.
Couldn't say no.
Yeah, Cassius has that way.
Trouble always follows.
Mm.
Truth.
Jimmy, I'm gonna need you to put your hands on top of that cabinet.
What, you gonna frisk me? You're a murder suspect and a fugitive.
Man, I been keeping clean.
I'm the one nearly got shot.
'Cause I was trying to help Pop.
Those True Guard dudes would have beat him to death if I hadn't taken 'em to that container.
- So you had 'em all killed? - Whoa.
I may not be a Boy Scout like you, but I never killed anyone.
I have no clue who those shooters were.
(phone beeps) You got any beers? I figure we crack a couple, hash this whole thing out.
This isn't Miller time.
Don't you have, like, a million questions? - Now, I know I do.
- Yeah.
Let's start with the four dead men.
Yeah, all right.
Gonna catch some killers.
(laughs) How can I help? Start by turning around again, putting your hands behind your back.
- We don't need the bracelets, though, do we? - Turn.
Oh, come on, man.
We family.
(cuffs fastening) I got your text.
You found something? Uh, looks like you did.
Well, technically, I found him.
Jimmy Boyd.
Dwayne's brother.
- What? - Excuse me? Half brother, actually.
Another byproduct of Cassius' colorful personality.
Uh, do you mind if I steal a couple of those? I haven't eaten anything all day.
Pride, you sure you don't want Sebastian to run a DNA test or something? What I want is an update.
Okay, River Grand sent over security footage from the night of the robbery.
Hannah took it and the original NOPD case file to the lab, looking for a new lead.
And I also got a hold of public auction records from a few years ago.
Tracking who bought all of Cassius's old stuff.
We're not the only one to inquire; someone else called.
- Oh, that'd be Pop.
- Stay out of this, Jimmy.
He's right, your father accessed the same auction records, used the computer at the hospital to check 'em out.
Lasalle was watching him.
They keep taking Cassius for all these tests.
Lasalle waits outside.
No way he had three million cash sitting in that container.
Oh, no, he definitely did.
Brought it there myself.
(scoffs) When, Jimmy? 20 years ago.
He needed help settling his affairs before he went to prison.
- Where was it hidden? JIMMY: I have no idea.
He's telling me (cell phone rings) one way or the other.
- I'm heading to that hospital.
- Yeah, bye.
Don't bother.
He's gone.
Lasalle said he slipped out during an MRI.
All right, get a BOLO out.
Every cop in the city needs to be looking for him.
JIMMY: You could do that.
Or you could cut the middle man.
(sighs) 'Cause I know exactly where he's going.
JIMMY: This club is the best-kept secret in New Orleans.
Never been raided.
Cops don't even know it exists.
Every minute we waste here is a minute that Cassius is getting away.
You got to trust me, big brother.
Please don't call me that.
Here we go.
(loud hip-hop music playing) (laughter) Hey, what's up, man? - Hey, my brother.
- Hey, Jimmy.
Cassius is trying to get out of town with $3 million.
Why would he come to a club? 'Cause this is Dario's spot.
Best print man in the Southeast.
I hooked 'em up.
False documents, Jimmy? - I thought you were clean.
- I am.
Straight and narrow for 15 months.
Then Pops rolls into town.
Thought by now you'd know how to avoid him.
What can I say? I got a soft spot for the old man.
Just like Mama.
There's Dario.
All right, now, let me do the talking, okay? Try not to look so federal.
Dario.
My man.
Looking tight.
- I don't want any of what you got.
- Look, I just want to ask you a question about a client I sent your way: Cassius Pride.
You got me mixed up with someone else.
Working on a couple passports for us.
Don't embarrass me in front of my friend.
Your friend is a cop, which makes you a snitch.
Your best option is to turn around and get out before I get security.
Yeah, well, here's another option.
I call a team of federal agents, and they storm this place and arrest everybody in here.
Except for you, Dario.
I'm gonna sit you right down at the edge of that bar and make sure that everyone in here gets a good look at the guy who's turning 'em in.
- That is cold.
- All right, all right.
I'm meeting Cassius in a few hours.
- Where? - Pump station on St.
Claude.
Canadian passport, clean title for his car.
Wait, hold on.
Where's mine? He only asked for the one.
This is for a '72 El Dorado.
I remember that car.
Good to see you, chief.
Just spoke to Pride.
He might have a lead on Cassius.
- What you got? - (sighs) I got the witness statement from Gina Powell.
It says that she and her boss were, uh, shot outside the count room.
Guards were killed inside, and then she played dead until the gunmen got away with the cash.
Right, and then she used her boss's tie to make a tourniquet; it probably saved her life.
Right, well, that's that's the interesting part.
Here, take a look at this.
The knot is on the outside.
If she had done that herself, it'd be facing in.
She needed help.
Yeah.
The only people in that room were robbers and dead men.
Let's dig deeper into Gina Powell.
JIMMY: Yeah, Pop loved that El Dorado.
PRIDE: I spent half my childhood riding around in it.
You remember that nasty softener he used to rub into the leather? Ah, I loved that smell.
(laughs) He taught me to drive in that car.
Didn't spend much time together, but for a month, when I was 16, he'd take me out.
Not in town, of course.
Too many prying eyes.
Barking orders at me.
It was nice.
Speak of the devil.
We about to have a serious conversation about one passport.
Yeah, listen, just let me do the talking.
Until I get him in cuffs.
(tires screech) (rapid gunfire) Jimmy, stay down! What are you doing? I'm gonna try to get to Pop.
Cover me.
(gunfire) - Jimmy! - (tires screeching) (tires screeching) (panting) Dwayne, are you okay? Had better days.
Got BOLOs out on the black SUVs and Cassius's car.
- We're gonna find him and Jimmy.
- Hope so.
Just learned I have a brother.
Like to keep him alive long enough to get to know him.
Sebastian's still running forensics, but the ballistics from the pump station match the rounds that killed the True Guard members.
Well, those gunmen were well trained and well informed.
They knew where Cassius would be.
- I have no idea how.
- Actually, they were following you.
And I think we know who tipped them off.
NOPD found two persons of interest in the River Grand heist.
A pair of low-level stickup men.
Never arrested for the heist, but they both ended up in prison for other crimes.
Commissary accounts maxed out every month for years, thanks to Gina Powell.
They both died violently inside, probably also thanks to her.
Only reason Gina would pay them off and then have them killed is if she was involved in the robbery.
Not just involved.
We think she planned it.
She showed up on the day and took a bullet to make it look legit.
In 20 years, Gina Powell made no move to get that money only to cover up a crime? Why? Well, she's not interested in the cash.
She just doesn't want to be exposed.
HANNAH: With good reason.
The River Grand may have a board of directors now, but they're still heavily financed by organized crime.
They find out what she did, and she's dead.
And Cassius is the only person still alive who can tie her to that robbery.
She had her men take Jimmy as leverage.
Cassius doesn't care about anybody except Cassius.
He'll go off the grid unless we find him first.
(cell phone ringing) Hello? PRIDE (on phone): Gonna need you to pull over, Cassius.
Dwayne.
Well, you were never one to disappoint.
How'd you get this number? Perk of my new job.
All sorts of access to federal agencies with high-tech equipment.
Believe it or not, I was gonna call you.
I'm on my way to fix things right now.
Like you fixed my Little League career? Hey, you were a natural-born shortstop.
The coach just didn't see it.
So you planted a brick of hash in his truck and had him arrested.
(chuckling): Well, it worked, didn't it? And don't you worry.
I'm gonna handle the Jimmy situation right now.
Oh, I know you will.
(brakes squeaking) How'd you get here so fast? I've been driving all day.
FBI loaned me a plane.
Where's the money? (chuckles) That is the cosmic joke of all time.
I don't have it.
I never did.
So you went to all this trouble coming back to New Orleans, nearly getting killed, just to get the old Caddy back? Well, I love this car, son.
You, uh Do you remember The French Connection? Of course.
I took you to that movie.
You left me at that movie.
All day.
While you were out collecting bribes.
Is there a point? The scene where the cops pulled the car apart looking for the drugs? I won't have to work as hard.
I know this looks bad.
I wasn't involved in the robbery.
I was just involved in the clean-up.
And people were not supposed to die.
They never are.
So, what? Gina asked you to get rid of the money? Yep.
But waste not, want not.
You gonna arrest me now? No.
I'm gonna keep you to your word for once.
You're gonna fix this mess.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats! (audience cheering) I'm all right today You gonna find a way to cross And you gonna get there I'm on fire today Ain't no water here to calm or even put me out Thanks.
I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry I'm gonna leave it all out there Dwayne.
I personally approved this guest list.
Your name wasn't on it.
Friend of the band.
Nathaniel and I go back.
What can I do for you? You can give me Jimmy Boyd.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And in return, I'll give you the three million (unzips bag) that you stole from River Grand.
What the hell, Dwayne? What? They don't know? That you set up your own casino to get robbed? Okay, I you have lost me now.
Did I? Your guy seems to get where I'm coming from.
Everything all right? We got evidence.
Maybe not enough to prove in court, but plenty to convince your bosses.
What do you want? No cops, no strings.
Just us.
You get your money, I get Jimmy.
Money's worthless without Cassius.
You got him, we can deal.
So let's deal.
I make a call, Cassius is outside in 30 seconds.
I need your weapon.
This ain't a getaway You built walls around your heart To try to lock it in Come on.
I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry I'm gonna leave it all out there I'm gonna leave it all out there to dry up I'm gonna leave it all out there I wish it hadn't gone down like this, Dwayne.
If only your father would've done what he was supposed to do-- burn the money.
And die in prison, like the men who robbed the casino for you? I was a different person.
I was totally strung out.
I don't give a crap, Gina.
I want Jimmy, and I want him now.
(door opens) - You all right? JIMMY: Yep.
Though, in retrospect, should've stuck with you at the last shootout.
Cassius? (phone beeps) (line ringing) (over phone): This is Cassius.
Come on in.
I got Jimmy.
CASSIUS: Pulling in now.
(vehicle approaching) Now, Gina, we can work this out.
You let my boys go, we'll talk.
Unfortunately, it's not up to her.
(yells, groans) Management has zero tolerance for betrayal.
Do it now.
Pop! Pop! Check the Caddy.
Make sure Cassius Pride is dead.
What? Then what? What, you'll shoot us? Smarter than he looks.
PRIDE: Take it easy, Jimmy.
30 seconds, my entire team will be up here, and he will be in cuffs.
Really? MAN: We got a problem here.
There's nobody in this car.
Tell me where he is.
If I tell you, I'm dead.
(grunting) Jimmy, no! (gunshot) Move in.
(sirens whoop) (groans) NCIS! Drop your weapon! Get down! GREGORIO: Trying to get a clear shot.
Put it down now.
Jimmy.
Jimmy, you saved my life.
But you need to lower that weapon now.
Right.
'Cause, uh, I'm pretty sure I left the safety on again.
(chuckles) (sirens wailing) CASSIUS: I always knew we'd get out of this mess.
We make a good team.
Think we got a different definition of "team" and "we.
" You were almost to Mexico.
Well, there's plenty of blame to throw around.
You see how I'm not mentioning what Dwayne did to my car? - No, you didn't.
- Oh, all right, okay, all right.
Maybe you ought to just quit while you're ahead, Cassius.
Seeing my two boys together just warms my heart.
Could've happened a lot sooner if you'd been honest.
We all have regrets in our lives.
I guess that I've got more than my share.
I regret ever letting you through my front door.
Well, you're on your own now, kid.
Seems like I have enough information on True Guard's meth operation to land me a very nice spot in WITSEC.
Unbelievable.
Now, I know that I I'm not the father that you two boys deserve, but I want you to know I love you.
I always will.
And that's God's truth.
Come on.
I'll buy you that beer.
You earned it.
JIMMY: Man, I can't believe you bought the Trutone.
- Mm-hmm.
Must be a money pit.
Yeah, well, it has its appeal.
And memories.
D-Man.
Missed most of the show the other night.
Yeah, I got a little occupied.
But thank you for the VIP pass.
It helped me out big-time.
Anything.
I owe you, friend.
But, life lesson: never accept a borrowed car from a bass player in Shongaloo.
(laughter) You're just lucky that I was sitting in on keyboards that night.
That's my cue.
But, uh, you're welcome to sit in again.
Mark won't mind.
Ah, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna hang with my brother tonight.
Well, family first, D.
(chuckling) Hey, Mama, it's me Said you better wait, child Said you've been a long time running You know, it's gonna take me a minute to see him as Pride's brother.
WADE: Are you telling me you can't see a family resemblance? (Lasalle laughs) I ain't touching that.
For real, though, you think Pride can trust him? I hope so.
He deserves something good in his life right now.
Yeah.
Hey.
Come on, Mama, what do you mean? HANNAH: Hey.
Cassius is officially in WitSec's custody.
He won't be a problem anymore.
Well, he may get a new name, but he'll still be the same man.
That looks good.
I am starving.
Yeah, it's all right.
Not as good as my mama's.
(chuckles) Careful.
That's my mama's recipe.
(chuckles): Oh, all right, I'm just saying, you need someone to man the kitchen on the regular Yeah, okay, yeah, well, I'll take it under advisement.
But right now, I'm gonna get Hannah a bowl of my mama's gumbo.
It is good.
But she said, "Son, let me reason with you "You think you carry such a weight (exhales sharply) Yeah.
"I know I never beat you, boy Better start acting like" I think you're looking for this.
What? What? Why are you here? (chuckles) Why are any of us here? (laughs softly) No.
Nah I made my choice.
I chose to live.
You did.
But maybe it's not all about you.
What is this? What are you trying to tell me? (sighs) Dwayne.
You have to figure it out.
I'm not your spirit guide.
I'm your clock.
Ticktock.
(gasps) You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You picked a bad time You picked a bad time You picked a bad time to listen to me You ain't gone far enough to say At least I tried You ain't gone far enough You ain't worked hard enough, you ain't run far enough To say it ain't gonna get any better.
