NCIS New Orleans (2014) s05e07 Episode Script
Sheepdogs
1 (lively music playing) Oh, I'm a bayou man Bayou man We're in a bayou land In a bayou land We're spreading zydeco love Zydeco love Everywhere we be Everywhere I be Ah FREDDY: Come on.
Just one more drink.
No more drinks, Freddy.
Just one more.
It's 2:00 in the morning.
Time to go.
Come on.
Keep walking.
Straight line.
I want tacos.
No, no, I want pizza.
Wait.
Taco pi-- yeah, taco pizza.
That's my thing.
How about a gallon of water and some sleep? Wait, sleep? JONES: Hey, watch out.
(tires screeching) Are-are you all right? (groaning) Hey, buddy, are you okay? Are you o? (car alarm blaring) NCIS:New Orleans 5x07 Sheepdogs Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
(indistinct radio transmission) Oh, come on, of course I want to.
Yeah, it's just, it's more complicated than that.
Yeah, I don't know how long I'm gonna be in D.
C.
Yeah, when I can, I will.
Look, it's just too early for this fight, okay? I'm at work.
I got to go.
Hey, everything okay? Apparently not.
Oh.
I'd say it was a good morning, but 7:00 a.
m.
's too early to deal with this kind of tragedy.
Yeah, we would have been on the scene sooner, but the bomb squad needed more time to do a full sweep of the area.
I'm grateful for that, considering the condition of our two victims.
- Yeah.
Uh, driver was a Paul Franka, and the bystander was Seaman Kyle Jones.
WADE: I haven't ascertained who's who yet.
- Shrapnel cause of death? Shrapnel may have caused the condition of the bodies, but they were so close, the shockwave likely liquefied their insides.
Instantly killing them, yes.
What do we know about the devices? Well, I'm about to try to get a chemical signature, but considering the blast radius GREGORIO: Probably high explosives.
TNT.
Maybe RDX.
HANNAH: Yeah, I'm seeing, uh, scrap metal, bolts, nails.
Was a homemade device? Courtesy of your local hardware shop, yeah.
But we did manage to find this.
Remote detonator? - Actually, it's a timer.
- So it was supposed to go off in the French Quarter at 2:00 in the morning? No, the bomb squad says that the blasting cap jammed and malfunctioned when the cars crashed.
The timer failed.
It suggests our sailor died by accident.
So, then, where was the bomb supposed to go off? And was Paul Franka the target or the suspect? Paul Franka was a graduate student in sociology at Baronne University.
Worked nights at the library and coached intramural soccer.
- Personal life? - According to his parents, he was well liked, had lots of friends.
Even hosted game night at his place on Mondays.
Doesn't fit the profile of a bombing suspect.
- He did break up with his girlfriend here recently, but that's about as much drama as he ever had.
Till this morning, of course.
HANNAH: Well, if the Southeast SAC is here, I'm guessing D.
C.
's treating this as terrorism? - Not yet.
But a massive explosion in the French Quarter did pique their interest, and mine.
Any chatter that might give us a hint as to where this bomb was supposed to go off? FBI and ATF are coordinating an Intel sweep, focusing on Paul Franka to begin with.
- Well, Franka's been out of town the past few days visiting family.
Device could have been planted without his knowledge.
Nice "welcome home" present.
PATTON: Personally, I prefer a handshake.
You know, I scoured Franka's social media.
Turns out he's not as squeaky clean as he looks.
He's a member of something called the S.
A.
O.
Students Against Oppression.
It's a protest group out of the university.
PATTON: That's right.
They sneak into government events and corporate gatherings, and they stage elaborate demonstrations to disrupt and create chaos.
More nuanced than that.
S.
A.
O.
tries to shine a light on government overreach, corporate hypocrisy.
Hmm.
You know them? Bernadine Caldwell, the professor who founded the group, is an old friend.
Social justice is her bread and butter.
Doesn't seem like social justice.
Seems like mayhem.
I don't endorse their methods, but they're not violent.
HANNAH: Well, maybe not, but one of their members blew up this morning.
It might be worth asking the group about.
Mind if I talk to 'em? Bernadine she can get a little cagey around cops.
Always knew the feds would try to find an excuse to take us down.
OTHERS: Yeah.
I'm not trying to take anyone down.
(others scoffing) Found out we were demonstrating at the pharmaceutical conference in town today, right? Bought and paid for, thanks to corporate America.
Yeah! PRIDE: O-Okay, o-okay, settle down.
You want to help me out here? I spent my career teaching the First Amendment, Dwayne.
I love to see it in action.
(laughter) I'm not here about your protest.
- I'm here about Paul Franka.
WOMAN: Picking away at us one by one? We won't help you harass him.
Well, you don't need to.
'Cause he died this morning.
WOMAN: What? The explosion? Yeah.
Okay, Dwayne, no matter what is said about S.
A.
O.
, we are rational, not radical.
No one here would have the slightest interest in violence.
No one here? Bernadine, this isn't about protecting the First Amendment.
Two people are dead, including your student.
Yasmin Hendricks.
Member of your group? MAN: Former member.
WOMAN: And Paul's ex-girlfriend.
(sighs) All right, so, what happened? Yasmin's philosophy didn't match ours.
Group voted her out.
- Her philosophy being? - There it is.
Muslim woman, so clearly she's radicalized? Look, this is the first I'm hearing anything about Yasmin.
I'm not jumping to conclusions.
- Of course you're not, Dwayne, but understand this is sensitive.
- Sure.
But I still need to know everything you do about Yasmin.
Starting with where she lives.
SEBASTIAN: If we hadn't already searched Yasmin's apartment, I'd guess that she lived in her car.
You remember college life.
Maintenance was a low priority.
Not for me-- I was going through an OCD phase.
I was going through a more OCD phase.
There's nothing in this car.
Check the trunk.
Hey, what do you know about Hannah's personal life? About as much as I know about Yasmin's-- nothing.
Overheard a phone call.
I think she's got an ex; pretty sure he lives here.
Okay, cool.
Whoever she was talking to, she lied about living in New Orleans.
- You know what I think? - Hmm? - Why don't we save the profiling for Yasmin, and we just give our boss her space.
- That's no fun.
- Okay, fine.
Help me with the spare.
Okay.
Look at this.
We got we got wire, crimping tools Empty cell phone boxes.
Okay, I'm gonna run a chem test.
Five empty cell phone boxes and plenty of wire.
Yeah, and this trunk is giving off the same signature as the bomb.
Means there could be more devices.
YASMIN: Four more, to be exact.
Federal agents.
Get on the ground.
I don't think so.
Get down now.
Seriously.
Shoot me or arrest me.
I'm not ruining this outfit.
We got the possibility of four explosive devices in New Orleans, and they could go off at any time.
Yeah, chemical signature confirms TNT, probably enough to kill dozens, maybe more.
And only one person can tell us where the devices are and when they'll go off.
- Yasmin Hendricks.
SEBASTIAN: She had the bomb-making materials in her car, but it was almost like she was expecting us when we grabbed her.
Two people are already dead, including her ex-boyfriend.
I'm doing a background search now.
Have a detailed report within the hour.
We don't have time to wait.
NOPD, ATF, and FBI have bomb squads combing the city, but every second that passes could mean catastrophe.
I've got what's left of the first device in my office.
I'll see if I can't get any more evidence.
We got to get Yasmin to talk, and fast.
Obviously, you've got the most experience with interrogation, Hannah, so whatever you need.
- I need to find pressure points and press them hard.
I need information as quickly as it comes in.
Okay, well, we're way ahead of you there.
We will watch from observation and feed you what we can, when we can.
This girl's ice cold.
It's not gonna be an easy interview.
They all start hard, but I break 'em all the same way.
What way is that? Let them do the work.
Hey there.
I'm Hannah.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You all right? Want to take those heels off? Hurts my feet just looking at 'em.
I need to know the time.
Time to answer some questions, hmm? First your name, date of birth, city you were born in.
Yasmin Hendricks.
February 10, 1999.
Dover, Delaware.
Why don't I take those cuffs off, huh? You're not going anywhere.
Why don't you tell me in as much detail as you can about your dream house? - My? - Dream house, yeah.
Everyone's got one.
I'm not sure we have time for the "get to know you" questions.
She's establishing a baseline.
Wants to see the difference between answering a question about facts and make-believe.
Like a human lie detector test.
YASMIN: Craftsman style.
But with bigger rooms.
Filled with sun and books.
Far away from other people.
Even people like Paul Franka? I know you two broke up, but you must have some feelings about his death.
He broke up with me in his car while he was getting gas.
Which I paid for.
The world's better off.
Is that why I'm here? To mourn him? Yasmin, you know why you're here.
You're connected to the bomb that killed Paul and a sailor.
And you as much as admitted that there's four more just like it.
Maybe it hasn't kicked in yet the reality of killing someone? You tell me.
You work for a government that colonizes other cultures using bombs, bullets, and blood.
HANNAH: I don't see it that way.
YASMIN: Proud of the blood on your hands? People in the service see themselves as sheepdogs.
Friendly, peaceful, loyal.
That is, until someone threatens our flock.
Then we go to whatever means necessary to neutralize that threat.
So you're a dog? Paul Franka used to be one of your flock.
This morning his body was ripped apart.
How does that make you feel, Yasmin? It's in my blood to put my beliefs to the test.
My father was a freedom fighter and a martyr.
He gave up everything, even me, to carry on the struggle.
You see yourself as a pet? Well, my father was a lion of God.
You want some tea? I'm gonna make you some tea.
(exhales) That was impressive.
Thanks, but I am flying by the seat of my pants.
Usually, I have a full workup before I run an approach on a subject.
We got nothing.
Yeah, but you got her talking.
Why did you leave when she was on a roll? She straightened her clothes when I asked her about her father.
- It's a tell.
- Yeah.
Just like the clothes themselves.
- Mm-hmm.
- Her suit costs more than her car.
She came in armor, like she knew she was gonna be arrested.
She's putting on a show.
Until I have a full background, I can't play the game.
I bluff, I lose, she shuts down.
Well, lucky for you, Lasalle put together Yasmin's family history.
I might have a lead, too.
Got partial prints on the pieces of the bomb that survived the explosion.
I've got them in a tent with vaporizing glue right now.
May have Yasmin dead to rights.
Well, it doesn't stop the other devices from going off.
We need as much leverage on her as we can get.
I'm gonna go back, speak to Bernadine one-on-one.
Maybe she can help.
GREGORIO: I thought my parents screwed me up.
This girl is next level.
What kind of father would radicalize his own daughter? I'm not sure that he did.
(door opens) I thought there would be tea.
Yeah, it's steeping.
You really should show me more respect.
Humiliation leads to escalation.
(laughs) Where did you read that? My father taught it to me.
My father taught me what to do when I was happy and I knew it.
Why'd Dad leave you? He was a martyr and a hero.
He had to make sacrifices.
But you were the most important thing in his life.
His only child.
We will finally know peace when we are no longer a collection of states but one world all united under the rules of Allah.
Ashadu an la ilaha Illa Illa-ilah, wa ashadu Anna Muhammadan rasul ullah.
- The Shahada.
- Hmm.
You're Muslim.
But your father is not.
He's Unitarian.
He's not a martyr for the cause at all.
He's a chemist in suburban Cleveland.
Anything you learned about Islam you learned from your mother or the Internet, 'cause Dad left before you were two.
Mom owns a retail store in West Texas, and considering that she's eating-- what is that-- pork ribs and rocking a bedazzled shirt without a hijab, I'm guessing that she didn't teach you about Qutb.
Well, then.
I guess you know everything there is to know about me.
Now will you tell me the time? There's enough time to stop all of this.
Where are the devices, hmm? How long do we have? Who knows for sure? Could be two hours, could be two minutes.
I understand.
You want to invent a better father than the one that gave you up.
It is really hard when a parent withholds love.
It's even harder when they both do.
They sent you to boarding school in New Hampshire when you were 12 years old.
Our house burned down.
Mom moved in with relatives, and there wasn't much room.
Yeah, but New Hampshire's really far from West Texas.
I'm guessing there were closer schools.
- I could take care of myself.
- Oh, I don't doubt it, Yasmin, but let's be real: rejection is a trigger for you.
It's not ideals.
You don't give a crap about the struggle.
You want acceptance.
I don't need anyone.
I'm guessing you didn't find your people at boarding school, huh? It's hard to be alone.
I get it.
Then you went to college and found the S.
A.
O.
And then there was Professor Caldwell.
(paper shuffling) Let's talk about her.
BERNADINE: Kids come to college to figure out who they are.
A lot think I'm the key to their reinvention.
That was Yasmin? One of the many who think I have the answers.
She joined S.
A.
O.
But we didn't have too much contact.
(clears throat) Bernadine, when we worked relief after Katrina, we spent a lot of time together.
Hard times, Dwayne.
Got to know each other pretty well.
You only ever reach for that inhaler when you're stressed.
One of my students is dead.
Probably killed by another of my students, so yeah, I'm stressed.
A lot more people could die.
Unless you're honest with me.
I could tell Yasmin was wounded.
There was a darkness in her that I recognized, and I thought I could help her.
YASMIN: She pretended like she knew me.
So kind, so interested.
She cooked me dinner at her house.
Gave me books to read.
Said she wanted to be my mentor.
I believed her.
BERNADINE: I brought her into the group.
Thought working for a brighter future would lighten her darkness.
Give her purpose.
Well, I was wrong.
She didn't want to be a part of something? Oh, she wanted to possess it completely.
I'm gonna need you to be explicit.
We're a protest group, all right? We shine a light on the injustice of the system.
She had a different agenda.
A more aggressive agenda.
She wanted to burn the system down.
- She said that to you? - Yeah, she said it.
She wrote it.
I saved her e-mails.
I need to see those.
Yeah.
HANNAH: It must have felt amazing, to be alone all your life and then suddenly be a part of something bigger.
I was always destined to be something bigger.
Bernadine just helped me see what it was.
Yeah, she gave you a cause.
A system of beliefs, a social group.
Then she suddenly took it away.
Just like that.
No more group.
No more boyfriend, no more Bernadine.
I couldn't say.
Someone finally looked at you, really saw you, and hated what you were.
Bernadine couldn't handle what I am.
She thought that she could use me.
- They all did.
- Use you how? In what way? Did it have something to do with the explosive devices? I could really use that tea.
My associate's bringing it right now.
How's it going in there? Hannah's established a rapport, but Yasmin keeps shutting down.
You're making tea? Yeah, it's what Hannah wants.
Not quite following her strategy yet.
The time pressure's hurting the process.
SEBASTIAN: I got something.
Hit on the fingerprint from the bomb shrapnel.
Who does it belong to, Sebastian? A fugitive wanted for a bombing in Seattle 20 years ago.
Some protest over the W.
T.
O.
Yasmin was an infant then.
I remember reading about this.
Suspect was a member of a radical environmental group.
Yeah, well, the pipe bomb she set killed two people, wounded six others.
- FBI's been after her for years, but then she just disappeared, never heard from her again.
- Until today.
- You get a positive I.
D.
? Uh, no other hits off the fingerprints, but I was able to clarify the photo.
That's Bernadine Caldwell.
I'll alert King now.
BERNADINE: I don't understand.
I had a whole file of Yasmin's e-mails.
They got to be here somewhere.
I'm usually very organized.
Maybe I archived them.
I'm sorry, Dwayne.
(phone beeps) Take your time.
Maybe, while you're at it, we can have a more candid conversation about your past.
BERNADINE: I really am very sorry, Dwayne.
But I'm gonna need you to get on your knees.
Bernadine, what are you doing? - I mean it, Dwayne.
Get on your knees or I will hurt you.
Like the two people in Seattle? That was an accident.
I was trying to destroy a chemical truck.
I didn't know the drivers were there.
What about the bomb this morning? Two more dead.
We found your fingerprint on the device.
- That's impossible.
- Okay.
Let's talk about it.
First, you need to lower the gun.
- You're not listening, Dwayne.
- I'm leaving.
And you are staying here one way or another.
You're not gonna shoot me, Bernadine.
Today is not my day to die.
I made a mistake.
I was a kid, and I deserve some grace.
Maybe you can have it by helping me find the four other bombs in the city.
By saving lives.
- I don't know anything.
- You know Yasmin.
I need your help.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun now.
We can work this out.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
SEBASTIAN: It's 12:05.
It's been over ten hours since the first bomb went off.
We could already be out of time.
Pride is bringing Bernadine back.
She claims she had nothing to do with the bomb.
Her history and evidence says different.
Maybe she and Yasmin were working together.
Well, so who's the mastermind here? The former radical or her protégé? We're no closer to an answer.
We don't even know where the other four bombs might be.
Only way to figure that out is to get one of 'em to talk.
Yeah, classic prisoner's dilemma.
First one to talk gets the deal.
- Need to motivate Yasmin.
- Yeah.
Get her off her game.
Mm-hmm, and out of her armor.
Turn off the plasma and everything with a clock on it.
When Pride gets here, keep 'em here.
LASALLE: What are you thinking? Gonna stage a meet-cute.
(gasps) What the hell? (screaming) Come on! Do you know how expensive this outfit was? - This is great.
I'll go get her.
- Wait.
Hey! Give her a minute.
Hey! Let me out! (screams) Hey, let me Hey! Let me out.
Oh, my God, I am so, so sorry.
You are soaked.
Is this some kind of trick? No, it's a complete malfunction of the sprinkler system.
- This was the only room affected.
- (scoffs) Come on, let-let's get you some dry clothes.
Come on.
I have some sweats by my desk.
Yasmin? What happened to you? Why are you here? You two shouldn't be talking.
Bernadine I'll take her up to the conference room for the rest of her statement.
These'll fit you just fine.
You can change in the bathroom.
Think this'll work? No idea.
We just can't sit around here waiting.
FBI tip line's been ringing off the hook with suspicious packages all over town.
Well, let's go follow up on some tips.
You want in? No, I'm gonna stay and watch the interrogations.
One of them spills, I'll let you know.
Oh, God.
Better now? I will be when you tell me the time.
Oh, we're not playing that game anymore, Yasmin.
Countdown's on you.
Bernadine's already talking.
You can't trust anything she says.
We may not have a choice, since you won't speak.
She can spin any tale she wants.
She's gonna put the blame on me when it all falls on her.
Meaning what? She's responsible for the explosives? For killing Paul? She using you, Yasmin? Did she convince you to be her accomplice? If that's true, why are you protecting her? She's gonna walk out of here and you're gonna go to prison.
Now who's playing games? Yasmin, this is your reality now.
What are you gonna do? I'm not involved here.
I didn't set any bombs.
I tried to distance myself from Yasmin.
We got your fingerprint on the device.
How'd that happen? She found something that she knew I touched and she managed to transfer the print.
Really? She's capable of a lot worse.
You do not know her.
That's right.
We don't.
Dwayne, I spent my entire life trying to make up for what I did.
Teaching my students that you can protest what is wrong with the world peacefully.
Well, that loses a bit of its impact coming from a killer on the run.
It's the truth.
Dwayne, you know me.
You know my passion.
Now you know why.
Guilt.
Yeah.
Wh-When I realized that Yasmin wanted to hurt people, I tried to stop her.
How'd you know she wanted to hurt people? Paul discovered that-that she was researching how to build bombs, where to buy the components.
I confronted her.
She said that it was for our next protest.
At the pharmaceutical conference happening today? - Yeah.
And you didn't call the police.
I sat down with her, away from school.
I-I took her to the zoo, which was someplace public.
I told her she was out of S.
A.
O.
and I tried to explain to her that violence was not the answer and we couldn't be affiliated.
And how did she react? In a rage.
She said that she was gonna go forward with that plan no matter what I did.
- And you still didn't call anyone? - No.
I didn't want the police to investigate and look into my past.
I don't think she has anything to do with this.
No.
But the pharma conference is clearly a target here.
Conference is happening all over the city.
Could be any number of the locations.
I'll coordinate with FBI and ATF.
You tell Hannah about the scene at the zoo.
Could help her with Yasmin.
All right.
Listen to what I'm about to tell you.
Bernadine brought Yasmin to the zoo.
So, Yasmin, looks like time is running out.
Bernadine's telling us quite the story about the zoo.
It's a lie.
So she basically broke up with you.
She humiliated you.
She cut you off.
Just like your mom cut you off.
You know what's so strange? We've had agents trying to call your mom all day, but she won't answer.
She wants nothing to do with you.
Feeling's mutual.
What did you do to earn that kind of apathy from your mom? What possible explanation could you have for walking out on your child? You know, I have a daughter.
She means the world to me.
I don't see her that often, but I have my reasons.
But your mom, though-- maybe if you were too dangerous to handle.
House burned down when you were 12.
It was deemed an accident.
There was an investigation.
It was focused mostly on you.
They were as inept as you.
Couldn't prove anything.
Why? Why would-- why would someone burn their own house down? Maybe because you were being ignored? You're a psychologist now? She hurt you.
You wanted to hurt her back.
This is ridiculous.
And then there's Paul.
He broke up with you in his car.
I get it now.
I understand.
You understand nothing.
- She set me up - Hold that thought.
Yasmin burns down her house because Mom wouldn't pay attention.
Paul breaks up with her in the car.
It explodes this morning.
We got a pattern.
She chooses targets that are emotionally important to her.
We need to get the bomb squad to the zoo now.
(indistinct chatter) Everybody, federal agents! We need everyone to clear this area.
Let's go.
Tammy says Bernadine cut ties with Yasmin somewhere around the demonstration area.
Something's in there.
- What is it? - I think someone Hey, hey, guys.
- I'm just gonna - Guys, hi.
Uh, I need you to move right now, okay? Okay? Thanks.
Sebastian.
WOMAN: There you go.
Keep moving.
Careful.
(grunts) (grunts) (exhales) This is twice as big as the one this morning.
We got eyes on the device.
(trilling) Demonstration seating area.
(beeping) MAN: Copy that.
All right, Sebastian.
Let's roll.
Let bomb squad do their thing.
I'd love to do that, but there's-there's a small hitch in that plan.
What's the hitch? I may have accidentally set off a fail-safe when I lifted up the lid.
Uh, if I move now kaboom.
(beeping) (beeping) Chris, you notice how we're pretty much the only ones here? - Yep.
It's 'cause everyone else is safely outside of the blast radius.
Uh-huh.
I'm kind of thinking that you should join them.
Nah.
Nah, I kind of like it here.
Shade is, uh, real nice.
Look, I'm not going anywhere, Sebastian.
All right? So, uh, do what you got to do.
Try not to blow us up.
Um, I found the, uh-- the lead and the blast cap.
There's some, uh, uh, wire cutters in my bag.
(beeping quickens) Sure you know what you're doing? Sure you want to know the answer? I'm gonna cut this wire.
Then get to it, Sebastian.
(exhales sharply) (beeping stops) (grunts) It got real quiet, so either I defused it or we're dead.
You defused it.
Good job.
We got something else, too.
Here, look at this.
A way to establish a timeline.
TAMMY: The original timer on the device at the zoo was set to go off at 3:00 p.
m.
So we have less than two hours to find those other other three bombs.
Each one capable of killing hundreds.
We know Yasmin picks targets that are emotionally important to her.
- Paul's car, the zoo.
- Yeah, pharma conference.
Though the bomb squad is still searching for a device.
- Where else? - (sighs) I don't know.
It took me hours to get anything out of her at all.
I don't know if we have time to dig deeper.
What do we do to shake her up? More sprinklers? We make her face her rejection.
I've given up on the tea, but maybe a sandwich? I'm starving.
What do you want? To apologize.
You've been through a lot.
I wasn't there for you the way I should have been.
Happen to know the time? There's still time to turn this around.
I know what you're going through.
I've been through it, too.
I have made the same mistakes, and the price is too much.
You're right.
You did make mistakes.
Being a coward.
Running all those years ago.
That was a mistake.
- What? - Giving up on me when I'm the only one who understood what you really wanted, tried to give it to you.
What I wanted? You want to play them.
Pretend like you're not the one pulling the strings.
Yasmin, you're lying.
You're the one who loaded these ideas in my head like a gun.
You're the one who manipulated me.
No.
I This is all made up.
Your fingerprint's not the only thing that connects you.
Your credit card was used for all the components.
You signed for the TNT.
You're tied to this forever.
Why are you doing this to me, Yasmin? I am trying to help you.
There's a bomb so close, we'll feel it in our teeth.
(gasping): I need your help.
Shutting this down right now.
- Yasmin, get away from her.
- Bernadine.
Looks like someone messed with her inhaler.
This is Special Agent Hannah Khoury.
We need an ambulance now.
The inhaler was spiked, that seems clear.
And whatever was in it closed her throat.
No way you could have saved her, Dwayne.
Could have kept her from being alone in that room with Yasmin.
HANNAH: Yeah, but she still would have used the inhaler at some point.
She wanted Bernadine dead.
She-- there's no way she could have known that it would be here.
No, that was just a bonus.
She set Bernadine up to be an accomplice.
She may have cut Yasmin out of the S.
A.
O.
and out of her life, but they would have been married to these bombings forever.
This is a regular Bonnie and Clyde.
She's controlling the narrative every step of the way.
I thought I thought I could understand her.
I thought I could play her, but she's stringing us along.
- If it wasn't for your work, there'd still be a bomb at the zoo.
Yeah, but that doesn't help us with (phone beeps) the three remaining devices.
It's like you said, Hannah.
She's controlling the narrative.
She has been since the beginning.
It's time we take it back.
You look upset.
Guessing Bernadine didn't make it.
- It's too bad because - You killed her.
Plain and simple.
I'm done playing nice with you.
So you've demonstrated.
And I thought we were becoming so close.
I was trying to help you fix the mess you've made of your life, but it is done now.
Life is over.
There she is.
The real person you've been hiding under all those sweet promises.
No one knows the real me or the things that I did before this to people way harder than you.
I'm gonna give you a full demonstration of what I'm capable of.
Let's get to it, then.
Tell me where the devices are, or I'm gonna make you suffer in ways you never (explosion) (explosion) (people screaming) I told you you could feel it in your teeth.
Oh, God.
The pharma conference.
There's a seminar across the street.
(car alarms blaring) S.
A.
O.
wanted to stage a sit-in.
(phone beeping) Might have gotten local coverage, but now? National news.
I should have known.
Well, some sheepdog you are.
I What? No more questions? (sirens wailing) Come on.
This is the good part.
I answer all your questions now.
What's the point? I've been waiting so patiently.
Let me tell my story.
I only have one question.
Why? Gonna have to be more specific.
I know why you killed Paul in his car.
I know why you set the bomb at the zoo and at the pharma conference.
But the other two? The provost office was responsible for hiring a fugitive like Bernadine.
No due diligence.
And the last one? - I can't fit it into the pattern.
- Because it doesn't fit.
I chose the art museum, a random tourist attraction, in case anyone figured out my pattern.
Thank you, Yasmin.
You you've been very helpful.
What are you talking about? - You got that, Pride? - Yep.
Bomb squad's already on their way to the last locations.
It's after 3:00 p.
m.
, you're too late.
It's 2:15.
We got time.
But the explosion.
Yeah, smoke and mirrors.
(helicopter blades whirring) (sirens wailing) We found the bomb across the street a half an hour ago, so we set off our own controlled explosion.
SEBASTIAN: The smoke machine's from our Halloween decorations.
The texts were just something we came up with in the other room.
PATTON: And you can download whatever kind of sound effect you want off the Internet.
(sound effects stop playing) Speakers are mine, though.
You are a troubled young lady, and I'm truly sorry for you.
Told you I'd show you what I'm capable of.
The two remaining explosive devices have been defused and disposed of.
You did good work.
We all did.
Headquarters wants to present you with an official commendation.
Have you make a public statement.
I would just as soon keep my involvement in this case quiet.
I-I don't need any press.
I had a feeling.
I'll let 'em know.
Thank you.
But you should come to the Trutone.
- Team drinks for free tonight.
- Oh, wow.
Team always drinks for free.
Yeah, but this time you all deserve it.
Christopher and Sebastian are already there.
Oh, maybe I'll see you there.
Okay.
(chuckles) GREGORIO: If it's paperwork that's keeping you from the bar, just No.
I'm not feeling that social tonight.
I get it.
If you have a question, you can ask it.
You told Yasmin you have a daughter.
- Told her a lot of things.
- Yeah.
But you weren't lying, were you? Her name's Naomi.
(chuckles): She's, um she's ten.
- She here in New Orleans? - Yeah.
She's with my ex.
Is that who you were talking to this morning on the phone? Wow, you shouldn't expect to keep any secrets in a room full of expert investigators.
No.
Why'd you lie to him, tell him you were in D.
C.
? I I just haven't had the courage to face either of them just yet.
Yeah.
But that is a story for another day.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go to the bar.
You should come.
Oh, maybe.
Maybe I'll see you there.
All right.
Okay.
Have fun.
Bye.
(sighs) (engine stops) Look into my eyes I could be the one I'll be your savior Look into my soul I am in control I'll be your savior Oh, I could be the one I'll be your savior
Just one more drink.
No more drinks, Freddy.
Just one more.
It's 2:00 in the morning.
Time to go.
Come on.
Keep walking.
Straight line.
I want tacos.
No, no, I want pizza.
Wait.
Taco pi-- yeah, taco pizza.
That's my thing.
How about a gallon of water and some sleep? Wait, sleep? JONES: Hey, watch out.
(tires screeching) Are-are you all right? (groaning) Hey, buddy, are you okay? Are you o? (car alarm blaring) NCIS:New Orleans 5x07 Sheepdogs Boom, boom, boom, boom Bang, bang, bang, bang Boom, boom, boom, boom How, how, how, how Hey, hey You gotta come on.
(indistinct radio transmission) Oh, come on, of course I want to.
Yeah, it's just, it's more complicated than that.
Yeah, I don't know how long I'm gonna be in D.
C.
Yeah, when I can, I will.
Look, it's just too early for this fight, okay? I'm at work.
I got to go.
Hey, everything okay? Apparently not.
Oh.
I'd say it was a good morning, but 7:00 a.
m.
's too early to deal with this kind of tragedy.
Yeah, we would have been on the scene sooner, but the bomb squad needed more time to do a full sweep of the area.
I'm grateful for that, considering the condition of our two victims.
- Yeah.
Uh, driver was a Paul Franka, and the bystander was Seaman Kyle Jones.
WADE: I haven't ascertained who's who yet.
- Shrapnel cause of death? Shrapnel may have caused the condition of the bodies, but they were so close, the shockwave likely liquefied their insides.
Instantly killing them, yes.
What do we know about the devices? Well, I'm about to try to get a chemical signature, but considering the blast radius GREGORIO: Probably high explosives.
TNT.
Maybe RDX.
HANNAH: Yeah, I'm seeing, uh, scrap metal, bolts, nails.
Was a homemade device? Courtesy of your local hardware shop, yeah.
But we did manage to find this.
Remote detonator? - Actually, it's a timer.
- So it was supposed to go off in the French Quarter at 2:00 in the morning? No, the bomb squad says that the blasting cap jammed and malfunctioned when the cars crashed.
The timer failed.
It suggests our sailor died by accident.
So, then, where was the bomb supposed to go off? And was Paul Franka the target or the suspect? Paul Franka was a graduate student in sociology at Baronne University.
Worked nights at the library and coached intramural soccer.
- Personal life? - According to his parents, he was well liked, had lots of friends.
Even hosted game night at his place on Mondays.
Doesn't fit the profile of a bombing suspect.
- He did break up with his girlfriend here recently, but that's about as much drama as he ever had.
Till this morning, of course.
HANNAH: Well, if the Southeast SAC is here, I'm guessing D.
C.
's treating this as terrorism? - Not yet.
But a massive explosion in the French Quarter did pique their interest, and mine.
Any chatter that might give us a hint as to where this bomb was supposed to go off? FBI and ATF are coordinating an Intel sweep, focusing on Paul Franka to begin with.
- Well, Franka's been out of town the past few days visiting family.
Device could have been planted without his knowledge.
Nice "welcome home" present.
PATTON: Personally, I prefer a handshake.
You know, I scoured Franka's social media.
Turns out he's not as squeaky clean as he looks.
He's a member of something called the S.
A.
O.
Students Against Oppression.
It's a protest group out of the university.
PATTON: That's right.
They sneak into government events and corporate gatherings, and they stage elaborate demonstrations to disrupt and create chaos.
More nuanced than that.
S.
A.
O.
tries to shine a light on government overreach, corporate hypocrisy.
Hmm.
You know them? Bernadine Caldwell, the professor who founded the group, is an old friend.
Social justice is her bread and butter.
Doesn't seem like social justice.
Seems like mayhem.
I don't endorse their methods, but they're not violent.
HANNAH: Well, maybe not, but one of their members blew up this morning.
It might be worth asking the group about.
Mind if I talk to 'em? Bernadine she can get a little cagey around cops.
Always knew the feds would try to find an excuse to take us down.
OTHERS: Yeah.
I'm not trying to take anyone down.
(others scoffing) Found out we were demonstrating at the pharmaceutical conference in town today, right? Bought and paid for, thanks to corporate America.
Yeah! PRIDE: O-Okay, o-okay, settle down.
You want to help me out here? I spent my career teaching the First Amendment, Dwayne.
I love to see it in action.
(laughter) I'm not here about your protest.
- I'm here about Paul Franka.
WOMAN: Picking away at us one by one? We won't help you harass him.
Well, you don't need to.
'Cause he died this morning.
WOMAN: What? The explosion? Yeah.
Okay, Dwayne, no matter what is said about S.
A.
O.
, we are rational, not radical.
No one here would have the slightest interest in violence.
No one here? Bernadine, this isn't about protecting the First Amendment.
Two people are dead, including your student.
Yasmin Hendricks.
Member of your group? MAN: Former member.
WOMAN: And Paul's ex-girlfriend.
(sighs) All right, so, what happened? Yasmin's philosophy didn't match ours.
Group voted her out.
- Her philosophy being? - There it is.
Muslim woman, so clearly she's radicalized? Look, this is the first I'm hearing anything about Yasmin.
I'm not jumping to conclusions.
- Of course you're not, Dwayne, but understand this is sensitive.
- Sure.
But I still need to know everything you do about Yasmin.
Starting with where she lives.
SEBASTIAN: If we hadn't already searched Yasmin's apartment, I'd guess that she lived in her car.
You remember college life.
Maintenance was a low priority.
Not for me-- I was going through an OCD phase.
I was going through a more OCD phase.
There's nothing in this car.
Check the trunk.
Hey, what do you know about Hannah's personal life? About as much as I know about Yasmin's-- nothing.
Overheard a phone call.
I think she's got an ex; pretty sure he lives here.
Okay, cool.
Whoever she was talking to, she lied about living in New Orleans.
- You know what I think? - Hmm? - Why don't we save the profiling for Yasmin, and we just give our boss her space.
- That's no fun.
- Okay, fine.
Help me with the spare.
Okay.
Look at this.
We got we got wire, crimping tools Empty cell phone boxes.
Okay, I'm gonna run a chem test.
Five empty cell phone boxes and plenty of wire.
Yeah, and this trunk is giving off the same signature as the bomb.
Means there could be more devices.
YASMIN: Four more, to be exact.
Federal agents.
Get on the ground.
I don't think so.
Get down now.
Seriously.
Shoot me or arrest me.
I'm not ruining this outfit.
We got the possibility of four explosive devices in New Orleans, and they could go off at any time.
Yeah, chemical signature confirms TNT, probably enough to kill dozens, maybe more.
And only one person can tell us where the devices are and when they'll go off.
- Yasmin Hendricks.
SEBASTIAN: She had the bomb-making materials in her car, but it was almost like she was expecting us when we grabbed her.
Two people are already dead, including her ex-boyfriend.
I'm doing a background search now.
Have a detailed report within the hour.
We don't have time to wait.
NOPD, ATF, and FBI have bomb squads combing the city, but every second that passes could mean catastrophe.
I've got what's left of the first device in my office.
I'll see if I can't get any more evidence.
We got to get Yasmin to talk, and fast.
Obviously, you've got the most experience with interrogation, Hannah, so whatever you need.
- I need to find pressure points and press them hard.
I need information as quickly as it comes in.
Okay, well, we're way ahead of you there.
We will watch from observation and feed you what we can, when we can.
This girl's ice cold.
It's not gonna be an easy interview.
They all start hard, but I break 'em all the same way.
What way is that? Let them do the work.
Hey there.
I'm Hannah.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You all right? Want to take those heels off? Hurts my feet just looking at 'em.
I need to know the time.
Time to answer some questions, hmm? First your name, date of birth, city you were born in.
Yasmin Hendricks.
February 10, 1999.
Dover, Delaware.
Why don't I take those cuffs off, huh? You're not going anywhere.
Why don't you tell me in as much detail as you can about your dream house? - My? - Dream house, yeah.
Everyone's got one.
I'm not sure we have time for the "get to know you" questions.
She's establishing a baseline.
Wants to see the difference between answering a question about facts and make-believe.
Like a human lie detector test.
YASMIN: Craftsman style.
But with bigger rooms.
Filled with sun and books.
Far away from other people.
Even people like Paul Franka? I know you two broke up, but you must have some feelings about his death.
He broke up with me in his car while he was getting gas.
Which I paid for.
The world's better off.
Is that why I'm here? To mourn him? Yasmin, you know why you're here.
You're connected to the bomb that killed Paul and a sailor.
And you as much as admitted that there's four more just like it.
Maybe it hasn't kicked in yet the reality of killing someone? You tell me.
You work for a government that colonizes other cultures using bombs, bullets, and blood.
HANNAH: I don't see it that way.
YASMIN: Proud of the blood on your hands? People in the service see themselves as sheepdogs.
Friendly, peaceful, loyal.
That is, until someone threatens our flock.
Then we go to whatever means necessary to neutralize that threat.
So you're a dog? Paul Franka used to be one of your flock.
This morning his body was ripped apart.
How does that make you feel, Yasmin? It's in my blood to put my beliefs to the test.
My father was a freedom fighter and a martyr.
He gave up everything, even me, to carry on the struggle.
You see yourself as a pet? Well, my father was a lion of God.
You want some tea? I'm gonna make you some tea.
(exhales) That was impressive.
Thanks, but I am flying by the seat of my pants.
Usually, I have a full workup before I run an approach on a subject.
We got nothing.
Yeah, but you got her talking.
Why did you leave when she was on a roll? She straightened her clothes when I asked her about her father.
- It's a tell.
- Yeah.
Just like the clothes themselves.
- Mm-hmm.
- Her suit costs more than her car.
She came in armor, like she knew she was gonna be arrested.
She's putting on a show.
Until I have a full background, I can't play the game.
I bluff, I lose, she shuts down.
Well, lucky for you, Lasalle put together Yasmin's family history.
I might have a lead, too.
Got partial prints on the pieces of the bomb that survived the explosion.
I've got them in a tent with vaporizing glue right now.
May have Yasmin dead to rights.
Well, it doesn't stop the other devices from going off.
We need as much leverage on her as we can get.
I'm gonna go back, speak to Bernadine one-on-one.
Maybe she can help.
GREGORIO: I thought my parents screwed me up.
This girl is next level.
What kind of father would radicalize his own daughter? I'm not sure that he did.
(door opens) I thought there would be tea.
Yeah, it's steeping.
You really should show me more respect.
Humiliation leads to escalation.
(laughs) Where did you read that? My father taught it to me.
My father taught me what to do when I was happy and I knew it.
Why'd Dad leave you? He was a martyr and a hero.
He had to make sacrifices.
But you were the most important thing in his life.
His only child.
We will finally know peace when we are no longer a collection of states but one world all united under the rules of Allah.
Ashadu an la ilaha Illa Illa-ilah, wa ashadu Anna Muhammadan rasul ullah.
- The Shahada.
- Hmm.
You're Muslim.
But your father is not.
He's Unitarian.
He's not a martyr for the cause at all.
He's a chemist in suburban Cleveland.
Anything you learned about Islam you learned from your mother or the Internet, 'cause Dad left before you were two.
Mom owns a retail store in West Texas, and considering that she's eating-- what is that-- pork ribs and rocking a bedazzled shirt without a hijab, I'm guessing that she didn't teach you about Qutb.
Well, then.
I guess you know everything there is to know about me.
Now will you tell me the time? There's enough time to stop all of this.
Where are the devices, hmm? How long do we have? Who knows for sure? Could be two hours, could be two minutes.
I understand.
You want to invent a better father than the one that gave you up.
It is really hard when a parent withholds love.
It's even harder when they both do.
They sent you to boarding school in New Hampshire when you were 12 years old.
Our house burned down.
Mom moved in with relatives, and there wasn't much room.
Yeah, but New Hampshire's really far from West Texas.
I'm guessing there were closer schools.
- I could take care of myself.
- Oh, I don't doubt it, Yasmin, but let's be real: rejection is a trigger for you.
It's not ideals.
You don't give a crap about the struggle.
You want acceptance.
I don't need anyone.
I'm guessing you didn't find your people at boarding school, huh? It's hard to be alone.
I get it.
Then you went to college and found the S.
A.
O.
And then there was Professor Caldwell.
(paper shuffling) Let's talk about her.
BERNADINE: Kids come to college to figure out who they are.
A lot think I'm the key to their reinvention.
That was Yasmin? One of the many who think I have the answers.
She joined S.
A.
O.
But we didn't have too much contact.
(clears throat) Bernadine, when we worked relief after Katrina, we spent a lot of time together.
Hard times, Dwayne.
Got to know each other pretty well.
You only ever reach for that inhaler when you're stressed.
One of my students is dead.
Probably killed by another of my students, so yeah, I'm stressed.
A lot more people could die.
Unless you're honest with me.
I could tell Yasmin was wounded.
There was a darkness in her that I recognized, and I thought I could help her.
YASMIN: She pretended like she knew me.
So kind, so interested.
She cooked me dinner at her house.
Gave me books to read.
Said she wanted to be my mentor.
I believed her.
BERNADINE: I brought her into the group.
Thought working for a brighter future would lighten her darkness.
Give her purpose.
Well, I was wrong.
She didn't want to be a part of something? Oh, she wanted to possess it completely.
I'm gonna need you to be explicit.
We're a protest group, all right? We shine a light on the injustice of the system.
She had a different agenda.
A more aggressive agenda.
She wanted to burn the system down.
- She said that to you? - Yeah, she said it.
She wrote it.
I saved her e-mails.
I need to see those.
Yeah.
HANNAH: It must have felt amazing, to be alone all your life and then suddenly be a part of something bigger.
I was always destined to be something bigger.
Bernadine just helped me see what it was.
Yeah, she gave you a cause.
A system of beliefs, a social group.
Then she suddenly took it away.
Just like that.
No more group.
No more boyfriend, no more Bernadine.
I couldn't say.
Someone finally looked at you, really saw you, and hated what you were.
Bernadine couldn't handle what I am.
She thought that she could use me.
- They all did.
- Use you how? In what way? Did it have something to do with the explosive devices? I could really use that tea.
My associate's bringing it right now.
How's it going in there? Hannah's established a rapport, but Yasmin keeps shutting down.
You're making tea? Yeah, it's what Hannah wants.
Not quite following her strategy yet.
The time pressure's hurting the process.
SEBASTIAN: I got something.
Hit on the fingerprint from the bomb shrapnel.
Who does it belong to, Sebastian? A fugitive wanted for a bombing in Seattle 20 years ago.
Some protest over the W.
T.
O.
Yasmin was an infant then.
I remember reading about this.
Suspect was a member of a radical environmental group.
Yeah, well, the pipe bomb she set killed two people, wounded six others.
- FBI's been after her for years, but then she just disappeared, never heard from her again.
- Until today.
- You get a positive I.
D.
? Uh, no other hits off the fingerprints, but I was able to clarify the photo.
That's Bernadine Caldwell.
I'll alert King now.
BERNADINE: I don't understand.
I had a whole file of Yasmin's e-mails.
They got to be here somewhere.
I'm usually very organized.
Maybe I archived them.
I'm sorry, Dwayne.
(phone beeps) Take your time.
Maybe, while you're at it, we can have a more candid conversation about your past.
BERNADINE: I really am very sorry, Dwayne.
But I'm gonna need you to get on your knees.
Bernadine, what are you doing? - I mean it, Dwayne.
Get on your knees or I will hurt you.
Like the two people in Seattle? That was an accident.
I was trying to destroy a chemical truck.
I didn't know the drivers were there.
What about the bomb this morning? Two more dead.
We found your fingerprint on the device.
- That's impossible.
- Okay.
Let's talk about it.
First, you need to lower the gun.
- You're not listening, Dwayne.
- I'm leaving.
And you are staying here one way or another.
You're not gonna shoot me, Bernadine.
Today is not my day to die.
I made a mistake.
I was a kid, and I deserve some grace.
Maybe you can have it by helping me find the four other bombs in the city.
By saving lives.
- I don't know anything.
- You know Yasmin.
I need your help.
Give me the gun.
Give me the gun now.
We can work this out.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
SEBASTIAN: It's 12:05.
It's been over ten hours since the first bomb went off.
We could already be out of time.
Pride is bringing Bernadine back.
She claims she had nothing to do with the bomb.
Her history and evidence says different.
Maybe she and Yasmin were working together.
Well, so who's the mastermind here? The former radical or her protégé? We're no closer to an answer.
We don't even know where the other four bombs might be.
Only way to figure that out is to get one of 'em to talk.
Yeah, classic prisoner's dilemma.
First one to talk gets the deal.
- Need to motivate Yasmin.
- Yeah.
Get her off her game.
Mm-hmm, and out of her armor.
Turn off the plasma and everything with a clock on it.
When Pride gets here, keep 'em here.
LASALLE: What are you thinking? Gonna stage a meet-cute.
(gasps) What the hell? (screaming) Come on! Do you know how expensive this outfit was? - This is great.
I'll go get her.
- Wait.
Hey! Give her a minute.
Hey! Let me out! (screams) Hey, let me Hey! Let me out.
Oh, my God, I am so, so sorry.
You are soaked.
Is this some kind of trick? No, it's a complete malfunction of the sprinkler system.
- This was the only room affected.
- (scoffs) Come on, let-let's get you some dry clothes.
Come on.
I have some sweats by my desk.
Yasmin? What happened to you? Why are you here? You two shouldn't be talking.
Bernadine I'll take her up to the conference room for the rest of her statement.
These'll fit you just fine.
You can change in the bathroom.
Think this'll work? No idea.
We just can't sit around here waiting.
FBI tip line's been ringing off the hook with suspicious packages all over town.
Well, let's go follow up on some tips.
You want in? No, I'm gonna stay and watch the interrogations.
One of them spills, I'll let you know.
Oh, God.
Better now? I will be when you tell me the time.
Oh, we're not playing that game anymore, Yasmin.
Countdown's on you.
Bernadine's already talking.
You can't trust anything she says.
We may not have a choice, since you won't speak.
She can spin any tale she wants.
She's gonna put the blame on me when it all falls on her.
Meaning what? She's responsible for the explosives? For killing Paul? She using you, Yasmin? Did she convince you to be her accomplice? If that's true, why are you protecting her? She's gonna walk out of here and you're gonna go to prison.
Now who's playing games? Yasmin, this is your reality now.
What are you gonna do? I'm not involved here.
I didn't set any bombs.
I tried to distance myself from Yasmin.
We got your fingerprint on the device.
How'd that happen? She found something that she knew I touched and she managed to transfer the print.
Really? She's capable of a lot worse.
You do not know her.
That's right.
We don't.
Dwayne, I spent my entire life trying to make up for what I did.
Teaching my students that you can protest what is wrong with the world peacefully.
Well, that loses a bit of its impact coming from a killer on the run.
It's the truth.
Dwayne, you know me.
You know my passion.
Now you know why.
Guilt.
Yeah.
Wh-When I realized that Yasmin wanted to hurt people, I tried to stop her.
How'd you know she wanted to hurt people? Paul discovered that-that she was researching how to build bombs, where to buy the components.
I confronted her.
She said that it was for our next protest.
At the pharmaceutical conference happening today? - Yeah.
And you didn't call the police.
I sat down with her, away from school.
I-I took her to the zoo, which was someplace public.
I told her she was out of S.
A.
O.
and I tried to explain to her that violence was not the answer and we couldn't be affiliated.
And how did she react? In a rage.
She said that she was gonna go forward with that plan no matter what I did.
- And you still didn't call anyone? - No.
I didn't want the police to investigate and look into my past.
I don't think she has anything to do with this.
No.
But the pharma conference is clearly a target here.
Conference is happening all over the city.
Could be any number of the locations.
I'll coordinate with FBI and ATF.
You tell Hannah about the scene at the zoo.
Could help her with Yasmin.
All right.
Listen to what I'm about to tell you.
Bernadine brought Yasmin to the zoo.
So, Yasmin, looks like time is running out.
Bernadine's telling us quite the story about the zoo.
It's a lie.
So she basically broke up with you.
She humiliated you.
She cut you off.
Just like your mom cut you off.
You know what's so strange? We've had agents trying to call your mom all day, but she won't answer.
She wants nothing to do with you.
Feeling's mutual.
What did you do to earn that kind of apathy from your mom? What possible explanation could you have for walking out on your child? You know, I have a daughter.
She means the world to me.
I don't see her that often, but I have my reasons.
But your mom, though-- maybe if you were too dangerous to handle.
House burned down when you were 12.
It was deemed an accident.
There was an investigation.
It was focused mostly on you.
They were as inept as you.
Couldn't prove anything.
Why? Why would-- why would someone burn their own house down? Maybe because you were being ignored? You're a psychologist now? She hurt you.
You wanted to hurt her back.
This is ridiculous.
And then there's Paul.
He broke up with you in his car.
I get it now.
I understand.
You understand nothing.
- She set me up - Hold that thought.
Yasmin burns down her house because Mom wouldn't pay attention.
Paul breaks up with her in the car.
It explodes this morning.
We got a pattern.
She chooses targets that are emotionally important to her.
We need to get the bomb squad to the zoo now.
(indistinct chatter) Everybody, federal agents! We need everyone to clear this area.
Let's go.
Tammy says Bernadine cut ties with Yasmin somewhere around the demonstration area.
Something's in there.
- What is it? - I think someone Hey, hey, guys.
- I'm just gonna - Guys, hi.
Uh, I need you to move right now, okay? Okay? Thanks.
Sebastian.
WOMAN: There you go.
Keep moving.
Careful.
(grunts) (grunts) (exhales) This is twice as big as the one this morning.
We got eyes on the device.
(trilling) Demonstration seating area.
(beeping) MAN: Copy that.
All right, Sebastian.
Let's roll.
Let bomb squad do their thing.
I'd love to do that, but there's-there's a small hitch in that plan.
What's the hitch? I may have accidentally set off a fail-safe when I lifted up the lid.
Uh, if I move now kaboom.
(beeping) (beeping) Chris, you notice how we're pretty much the only ones here? - Yep.
It's 'cause everyone else is safely outside of the blast radius.
Uh-huh.
I'm kind of thinking that you should join them.
Nah.
Nah, I kind of like it here.
Shade is, uh, real nice.
Look, I'm not going anywhere, Sebastian.
All right? So, uh, do what you got to do.
Try not to blow us up.
Um, I found the, uh-- the lead and the blast cap.
There's some, uh, uh, wire cutters in my bag.
(beeping quickens) Sure you know what you're doing? Sure you want to know the answer? I'm gonna cut this wire.
Then get to it, Sebastian.
(exhales sharply) (beeping stops) (grunts) It got real quiet, so either I defused it or we're dead.
You defused it.
Good job.
We got something else, too.
Here, look at this.
A way to establish a timeline.
TAMMY: The original timer on the device at the zoo was set to go off at 3:00 p.
m.
So we have less than two hours to find those other other three bombs.
Each one capable of killing hundreds.
We know Yasmin picks targets that are emotionally important to her.
- Paul's car, the zoo.
- Yeah, pharma conference.
Though the bomb squad is still searching for a device.
- Where else? - (sighs) I don't know.
It took me hours to get anything out of her at all.
I don't know if we have time to dig deeper.
What do we do to shake her up? More sprinklers? We make her face her rejection.
I've given up on the tea, but maybe a sandwich? I'm starving.
What do you want? To apologize.
You've been through a lot.
I wasn't there for you the way I should have been.
Happen to know the time? There's still time to turn this around.
I know what you're going through.
I've been through it, too.
I have made the same mistakes, and the price is too much.
You're right.
You did make mistakes.
Being a coward.
Running all those years ago.
That was a mistake.
- What? - Giving up on me when I'm the only one who understood what you really wanted, tried to give it to you.
What I wanted? You want to play them.
Pretend like you're not the one pulling the strings.
Yasmin, you're lying.
You're the one who loaded these ideas in my head like a gun.
You're the one who manipulated me.
No.
I This is all made up.
Your fingerprint's not the only thing that connects you.
Your credit card was used for all the components.
You signed for the TNT.
You're tied to this forever.
Why are you doing this to me, Yasmin? I am trying to help you.
There's a bomb so close, we'll feel it in our teeth.
(gasping): I need your help.
Shutting this down right now.
- Yasmin, get away from her.
- Bernadine.
Looks like someone messed with her inhaler.
This is Special Agent Hannah Khoury.
We need an ambulance now.
The inhaler was spiked, that seems clear.
And whatever was in it closed her throat.
No way you could have saved her, Dwayne.
Could have kept her from being alone in that room with Yasmin.
HANNAH: Yeah, but she still would have used the inhaler at some point.
She wanted Bernadine dead.
She-- there's no way she could have known that it would be here.
No, that was just a bonus.
She set Bernadine up to be an accomplice.
She may have cut Yasmin out of the S.
A.
O.
and out of her life, but they would have been married to these bombings forever.
This is a regular Bonnie and Clyde.
She's controlling the narrative every step of the way.
I thought I thought I could understand her.
I thought I could play her, but she's stringing us along.
- If it wasn't for your work, there'd still be a bomb at the zoo.
Yeah, but that doesn't help us with (phone beeps) the three remaining devices.
It's like you said, Hannah.
She's controlling the narrative.
She has been since the beginning.
It's time we take it back.
You look upset.
Guessing Bernadine didn't make it.
- It's too bad because - You killed her.
Plain and simple.
I'm done playing nice with you.
So you've demonstrated.
And I thought we were becoming so close.
I was trying to help you fix the mess you've made of your life, but it is done now.
Life is over.
There she is.
The real person you've been hiding under all those sweet promises.
No one knows the real me or the things that I did before this to people way harder than you.
I'm gonna give you a full demonstration of what I'm capable of.
Let's get to it, then.
Tell me where the devices are, or I'm gonna make you suffer in ways you never (explosion) (explosion) (people screaming) I told you you could feel it in your teeth.
Oh, God.
The pharma conference.
There's a seminar across the street.
(car alarms blaring) S.
A.
O.
wanted to stage a sit-in.
(phone beeping) Might have gotten local coverage, but now? National news.
I should have known.
Well, some sheepdog you are.
I What? No more questions? (sirens wailing) Come on.
This is the good part.
I answer all your questions now.
What's the point? I've been waiting so patiently.
Let me tell my story.
I only have one question.
Why? Gonna have to be more specific.
I know why you killed Paul in his car.
I know why you set the bomb at the zoo and at the pharma conference.
But the other two? The provost office was responsible for hiring a fugitive like Bernadine.
No due diligence.
And the last one? - I can't fit it into the pattern.
- Because it doesn't fit.
I chose the art museum, a random tourist attraction, in case anyone figured out my pattern.
Thank you, Yasmin.
You you've been very helpful.
What are you talking about? - You got that, Pride? - Yep.
Bomb squad's already on their way to the last locations.
It's after 3:00 p.
m.
, you're too late.
It's 2:15.
We got time.
But the explosion.
Yeah, smoke and mirrors.
(helicopter blades whirring) (sirens wailing) We found the bomb across the street a half an hour ago, so we set off our own controlled explosion.
SEBASTIAN: The smoke machine's from our Halloween decorations.
The texts were just something we came up with in the other room.
PATTON: And you can download whatever kind of sound effect you want off the Internet.
(sound effects stop playing) Speakers are mine, though.
You are a troubled young lady, and I'm truly sorry for you.
Told you I'd show you what I'm capable of.
The two remaining explosive devices have been defused and disposed of.
You did good work.
We all did.
Headquarters wants to present you with an official commendation.
Have you make a public statement.
I would just as soon keep my involvement in this case quiet.
I-I don't need any press.
I had a feeling.
I'll let 'em know.
Thank you.
But you should come to the Trutone.
- Team drinks for free tonight.
- Oh, wow.
Team always drinks for free.
Yeah, but this time you all deserve it.
Christopher and Sebastian are already there.
Oh, maybe I'll see you there.
Okay.
(chuckles) GREGORIO: If it's paperwork that's keeping you from the bar, just No.
I'm not feeling that social tonight.
I get it.
If you have a question, you can ask it.
You told Yasmin you have a daughter.
- Told her a lot of things.
- Yeah.
But you weren't lying, were you? Her name's Naomi.
(chuckles): She's, um she's ten.
- She here in New Orleans? - Yeah.
She's with my ex.
Is that who you were talking to this morning on the phone? Wow, you shouldn't expect to keep any secrets in a room full of expert investigators.
No.
Why'd you lie to him, tell him you were in D.
C.
? I I just haven't had the courage to face either of them just yet.
Yeah.
But that is a story for another day.
Okay.
Well, I'm gonna go to the bar.
You should come.
Oh, maybe.
Maybe I'll see you there.
All right.
Okay.
Have fun.
Bye.
(sighs) (engine stops) Look into my eyes I could be the one I'll be your savior Look into my soul I am in control I'll be your savior Oh, I could be the one I'll be your savior
