NCIS s20e19 Episode Script

1
KNIGHT: Ugh, you got to be kidding me.
Navy Yard security is backed up again.
Let me guess. You're stuck
at the southeast gate.
KNIGHT: Yep. It's the worst.
And I even got an early
start this morning.
I noticed. Where'd you rush off to?
I woke up craving pain au chocolat.
Now, that's just a fancy way
of saying "chocolate croissant."
Okay, well, don't let Parker
hear you say that.
He's gonna consider that blasphemy.
Anyway, I'm bringing in a box,
so you better bring your appetite.
Jimmy?
Jess, I can't wait. Yeah, I'm starving.
Good, 'cause I got you two.
All right, see you soon.
What the hell?
(HONKING)
- (GLASS SHATTERS)
- (CAR HORN BLARING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Stay back. I smell gas.
Help, it's stuck! I can't
(GRUNTS) Help!
Okay. I got you.
All right, out. Hey! Help me.
Grab him. Keep him back.
KID: Get my mom!
Yeah, I got her, I got her. Mom!
Okay. (GRUNTING)
It's stuck.
On three. One, two,
three. Okay, come on, come on.
Get away. Grab her.
Stay back, and let's (YELLS)
I got him, I got him.
Stay back.
(GASPS) Oh!
Hi. Can I borrow this?
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing? That's mine.

KNIGHT: I woke up craving
pain au chocolat.
Now, that's just a fancy way
of saying "chocolate croissant."
Anyway, I'm bringing in a box,
so you better bring your appetite.
Jimmy?
Jess, I can't wait. Yeah, I'm starving.
All right, see you soon.
Damn, did Jimmy just lie to Knight?
Sure sounded like it.
It was more a fib.
First of all, who uses the word "fib"?
And second of all,
it's just an old-timey word for "lie."
Who lied?
Jimmy, to Knight.
Ooh. Careful, Palmer.
Lying to a federal agent
that's a felony.
It also comes with a, uh,
five-year, uh, prison sentence.
Okay, very funny. All I said
was I was hungry.
Oh, I believe the exact word
you used was "starving."
Eh, so, more of a white lie.
Yes, thank you.
Jess said she bought me some croissants.
And I didn't tell her that I'd
already had three this morning.
I mean, is that so terrible?
I once told Vivian
that I was working late
and went to a Bulls game instead.
We're divorced now.
You know, I once hid a triple
homicide that happened
in the apartment from Delilah.
Ended up doing the dishes by
myself for the next six months.
Wait, triple homicide, seriously?
And that is how Tim learned
not to lie to Delilah.
Maybe I should call Jess back now.
(EXPLOSION IN DISTANCE)
What the hell was that?
Looks like our southeast gate.
Says there's a crash
outside the Navy Yard.
(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)
PARKER: Isn't that Knight's car?
Jess.
She's not in here.
Jimmy. Parker.
Hey. You okay?
I don't think the croissants made it.
Your hand.
Yeah, it's fine.
What the hell happened?
Sedan came out of nowhere,
barely missed me and
Survivors?
Woman and child.
They're with the paramedic.
There was another guy
in the passenger seat
but I didn't get to him in time.
Hey, hey! Hey.
Clear the road, move back.
Hey. You sure you're okay?
Yeah.
Hey, Jimmy.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Hey, dude, move. You're in my shot.
Dude, get back behind the line. Come on.
Okay, okay, okay.
Behind the tape.
You see that chick run, uh,
run to the fire like she was
Wonder Woman or something?
Yeah, I got the whole thing on here.
- The whole thing, huh?
- Most of it, yeah.
- Why?
- I'm gonna need that for evidence.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Dude.
- I'll get you a receipt.
Can you at least call me an Uber?
Hey.
You saved us.
You two all right?
Thank you. Adam is my everything.
If you hadn't come, I
So you were driving pretty fast.
Like, against-the-law fast.
Where were you going?
I don't remember.
(SIREN CHIRPS)
Mom.
The police are here.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
One sec, I got to radio dispatch.
Keep an eye on the mom.
She might have a concussion.
We need to go.
Whoa, whoa, you can't leave yet.
He's not done checking you out.
No, we're fine, really.
What about the police?
They'll still have to question you.
No.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Please, no police.
Why are you afraid of the police?
Please, I can't lose my son.
Mom. They're coming.
(SIREN WAILING)
PARKER: Knight. Where are they heading?
The woman has a concussion.
Paramedics are taking her
to Washington General Hospital.
I guess your team will have to start
by questioning eyewitnesses.
Thanks.
MPD can take over the investigation.
There's nothing more for you to do.
Oh, I don't know about that.
The moment that woman saw
the police, she wanted to run.
I mean, I would, too. Driving like that?
Well, she was going
somewhere in a hurry.
Or running from something.
She was scared the police
were gonna take her kid.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Hey, Parker, how do you feel
about us ditching the MPD?
I'd like to see this one through myself.
TORRES: I mean, there is an
argument for jurisdiction.
That wall is on
Navy Yard property.
Okay, sure, they're yours.
Go find out what spooked 'em.
That's two accidents you've
gotten into this year.
I didn't get into an accident.
Involved. You were involved.
Without Dolly getting a single scratch.
Oh, Dolly, that's-that's
your car, right?
I'm just saying Dolly
has pretty bad juju.
It might be time for her to retire.
I do not need a new car.
I get it. Hard to let go of Dolly.
Uh, is it just me,
or are people staring at us?
I do have a guy that can help
you with a brand-new Mini.
No, they are totally staring at us.
Jess, you can say no.
You don't have to change the subject.
Uh, I think that guy
just took a selfie with us.
Well, we are two of the most
beautiful people on the planet.
Reyna, Adam,
this is Special Agent Torres.
I never got a chance
to introduce myself,
but I'm Jess.
You didn't say you were police.
Well, technically, we're not
the regular police.
Regardless, we are here to help.
Adam. Sientate.
Go listen to your music. It's okay.
(PHONE CHIMES)
His father died a few years ago.
So he thinks it's his job to protect me.
What is he? Ten?
Yeah, I was a little younger
than him when,
uh, my father left us.
You know, it's not easy for a kid
to become the man of the house.
He's all I have left.
Reyna, why are you afraid of the police?
If you don't talk to us,
we can't help you.
I
don't have papers.
You're undocumented?
And Adam?
I am guessing he was born here?
Yes. And they told me
that they would deport me
and put him in foster care
if I didn't
Didn't what?
Reyna,
why were you driving so fast?
Daniel. I was
taking Daniel to the hospital.
The man in the car? And who's he?
My brother.
How did your brother get hurt?
Time for your MRI, Ms. Vargas.
Uh, we still have a few more questions.
They'll have to wait.
And I'm afraid your son
will have to wait here.
He can't come? Hospital policy.
Um
You'll watch him? Yes?
- She'd love to. She'd be happy to.
- No, I'm-I'm not
Thank you.
I trust you.
Mi amor.
You stay with Agent Knight.
She will look after you.
Hey.
Yeah?
Thank you.
(SARCASTIC CHUCKLE)
"She'd be happy to"?
Hey, did you notice how she hesitated
when I asked her
how her brother got hurt?
Yeah, she's definitely hiding something.
The question is what?
Yeah, I'll brief Parker.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- Whoa. 20 texts.
Well, I guess I'm not
the only popular one.
No, actually
You are.
Your rescue has gone viral.
- Stay back.
- NEWSWOMAN: Witnesses recorded
this hero, already being called
Wonder Woman on social media,
rushing to the burning car.
They named her after a superhero?
Technically, Wonder Woman is a demigod.
Oh, that's much better.
Knight's gonna have
the press all over her.
Yeah, it's nothing she can't handle.
No harm in a little celebrity.
Except for how the clamor for insta fame
is slowly destroying society.
(PHONE CHIMING)
Victoria, is everything okay?
No, she's not
No, I can't bring
Honey, I'm at work.
We'll talk about this later, okay?
All right. Love you.
Victoria just wants to know
when I'll pick her up from school.
And? And if I'll bring Wonder Woman.
- So what do you got for me?
- Well, I can tell you this man
did not die in the explosion.
A bullet pierced his liver,
lodged in his spine.
He was shot?
And he was already bleeding
to death before the accident.
He wouldn't have
made it to the hospital.
Reyna kind of skipped over the part
where her brother was shot.
Maybe that's 'cause
he wasn't her brother.
Got a hit on his DNA.
That was fast.
That's 'cause it came up
in the federal employee database.
Victim's name is Daniel Tanner.
He was a DEA agent.
What was Reyna doing with
a wounded DEA agent in her car?
That's a good question. A better one
Why lie about it?
WOMAN (OVER P.A.): Dr. Jensen
to fourth floor nurses' station.
I just wanted some chips.
Well, you're a growing boy.
Dig in.
WOMAN (OVER P.A.):
Physical therapy, dial 3172.
What? He looked hungry.
Oh, so you're not trying to bribe him?
(LAUGHING): No.
Possibly. But it works.
I'm just letting you know
that this is why
Victoria likes hanging out with me.
You know that's not the only reason.
She actually likes you.
I know.
I think. Maybe.
It's just, Victoria is like
a little mini Jimmy Palmer.
And it is in their DNA
to like everyone.
Mm-hmm. Not a lot of kids are like that.
I know. Most kids hate me.
Okay, that is a bit extreme.
(PHONES CHIMING)
- It's Parker.
-
Oh, we got a problem.
MAN (OVER P.A.): Code Green.
North building, third floor.
Okay, Adam, we got to go.
North building, third floor.
TORRES: Hey, nurse.
Excuse me.
What's Code Green?
Missing patient.
North building, third floor.
TORRES: Isn't that Reyna's nurse?
Uh
- Will you watch him?
- Yeah, I got him, yeah.
What happened? Where's Reyna?
She just attacked me.
I couldn't stop her.
- Where is she?
- I don't know.
She just ran off.
She's gone.
Code Green. North building, third floor.
According to the nurse,
as soon as they got to the MRI,
Reyna knocked her out and ran off.
Well, security is combing the building,
but still no sign.
I knew she wanted to run
after the crash,
but I thought it was because
she was undocumented.
Surprise, it was the dying DEA
agent in her passenger seat.
But I don't get it.
Reyna flipped out when she thought
Adam was gonna be taken away from her.
So, how could she just leave him behind?
We're missing something.
We're gonna have to talk to the kid.
Where's my mom?
We don't know yet, Adam.
Yes, you do. You're lying.
TORRES: Adam
You have to trust us.
You know where your mother could be?
It's your fault.
She wouldn't have left me.
- You scared her off.
- Hey.
No one is to blame here.
Okay?
I'll take Adam back to NCIS.
You want to stay here,
see if you can grab
any footage off the security cams?
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Adam.
What did your mother say?
She said stay with Agent Knight, right?
Your mother trusted her.
And you're a smart kid, right?
You do what your mother says?
Good.
We're gonna find your mother.
It's not you he hates.
Are you sure about that?
Adam, this is Kasie.
Would you like anything to drink?
Okay, so why don't you take
a seat in the back
and then, um, I'll be in in a second?
Talk about a cold shoulder.
You have had a morning, Double Dubs.
Double what?
Double Dubs.
As in Double Ws.
Wonder Woman.
(LAUGHS) Oh, please.
Oh, speaking of which, hold on.
Okay, we have literally taken
hundreds of selfies together.
Before you were famous, sure.
Oh, man, the background is terrible.
- If we could just step over
- Kase.
Okay, fine, I'm just proud of you,
but we will revisit this later.
Now, the bullet that Jimmy
pulled out of Agent Tanner
was a nine millimeter.
We haven't recovered Tanner's
service weapon yet,
so on a hunch, I reached out to the DEA
to compare ballistics to his weapon.
And it's a match.
Tanner was shot by his own gun.
ADAM: My mom didn't do it.
Um
I-I didn't say that she did.
But you were thinking it.
What can you tell us about Daniel?
He's my mom's friend.
That's all I know.
And how did he end up in the car?
I don't know that either.
I was home.
My mother went out,
then came back all upset.
Said we had to go.
When I got in the car,
he was already there.
But she wouldn't hurt him.
She wouldn't hurt anyone.
O-Okay, I believe you.
No, you don't.
Well
Do you believe him?
I do.
But his mother?
I think she either knows
who shot Agent Tanner
Or she shot him herself.
- Yeah.
- Either way,
one thing's clear:
that kid hates your guts.
Which is why I can't track down Reyna
if I have him following me around
Ah, so you want me to watch him.
Yep, fine, I'll do it.
For Wonder Woman.
Mm. Thank you, Kasie.
You are a lifesaver.
Yes, and you owe me that selfie later.
Tanner deserved a heck of lot
more than a bullet to the gut.
Any idea how your partner got shot?
No, but I'm sure as hell gonna find out.
(KNOCKING)
Agents McGee and Parker.
This is Agent Raymond Frank of the DEA.
He was Agent Tanner's partner.
Well, we're, uh,
we're sorry for your loss.
I spoke with Administrator Henderson.
We both agreed you should all
work together on this case.
So, where we at?
We've got a BOLO out for Reyna Vargas.
You want to tell us what
she was doing for the DEA?
What makes you think
she was doing anything?
Well, her immigration application.
She applied for residency.
Now, the application
was slowly moving along
when suddenly it was put on hold.
And you assume we had a role in that?
Come on, Frank. FBI pulls
that kind of deal all the time.
Identify undocumented immigrants
and send 'em into the lion's den.
PARKER: They gather intel on the
this drug lord or that arms dealer
All in exchange for
becoming a legal resident.
Reyna was an informant for the DEA.
Your team's as good as advertised.
Okay, yes.
Reyna was part of an off-the-books op.
Who was she informing on?
The Serrano cartel.
These brothers are bad news.
That's Mateo Serrano.
He operates out of D.C.
The cartel's eastern territories
all answer to him.
This guy looks like he should
be running a tech startup.
- (PHONE RINGING)
- FRANK: On paper, Mateo appears clean.
By all appearances, an entrepreneur.
D-Does someone want to get that?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Got it. Continue.
So, uh, who does Mateo's dirty work?
FRANK: This mean bastard.
Mateo's brother Isaac Serrano.
Arrested for assault, attempted murder,
but no convictions.
FRANK: Mateo and Isaac run a tight ship.
Their operation's been
nearly impossible to breach.
(PHONE RINGING)
Reporters.
No rest for Wonder Woman.
That's you?
Mm. (LAUGHS)
Okay, so back to Reyna.
How's she involved in this?
FRANK: She's a waitress
at Mateo's Taqueria.
It's one of his legitimate businesses.
Also a good way to launder
the drug money, I'm guessing.
And they launder a lot.
Reyna was our way into
their whole operation.
Agent Tanner was her handler.
Was there any tension between
the two of them that you knew about?
Not really.
Seemed to me he'd built a great rapport
with both her and the kid.
But, uh
But?
Tanner did say Reyna
was getting pretty angry
that her visa hadn't gone through yet.
Angry enough to shoot him?
Not an easy picture, right?
But Tanner recruited her because
he thought she was tough enough
to spy against the Serranos
and not crack.
Those people aren't easy to come by.
I don't know what happened
between her and Tanner, but
if she didn't shoot him, where is she?
Well, Torres is working on
getting the security footage
from the hospital. May be a lead there.
Tough or not, she had to be terrified
being an informant against the Serranos.
That's why Tanner pulled the trigger
and had Reyna plant a recording
device in Mateo's office.
It was risky, but
if it gave us something concrete,
we could pull Reyna out,
and make a move.
By any chance is this
the device you're talking about?
'Cause Kasie found one in the car.
Maybe that's why Reyna and Tanner met.
She was making the handoff.
FRANK: If that's ours, it could be
key in our case against Serrano.
Think your forensic tech can salvage it?
Absolutely. Woman's
a miracle worker. Real pro.
Ah, are you guys ready?
So ready.
I don't know about this, Kasie.
A-Are you sure that this is safe?
No, I am not.
Which is why you're in charge
of the fire extinguisher.
Three, two, one ooh.
All right, Kase, now maybe we should
- Hit it, Adam.
- Fire in the hole!
How'd you do that?
Calcium carbide and water.
I told you science was cool.
That was awesome.
Oh, Jimmy?
You okay there, buddy?
Do you have any more watermelon?
(LAUGHTER)
Do I look like Gallagher to you?
(LAUGHTER)
Okay, this is more like it.
Adam, it's good to see
you having some fun.
(GROANS)
Kasie's just prepping for Halloween.
With watermelon?
Hey. You have any idea
how hard it is to find a pumpkin in May?
I think he'd like
to see me blow up next.
That was awesome.
I'll keep him away from
any flammable materials.
- In the meantime, you got a second?
- Yeah.
Oh, don't touch that, please.
You bring me someone else to babysit?
Forensic scientist Kasie Hines,
say hello to Agent Frank with the DEA.
Agent Raymond Frank of the DEA.
- Mm-hmm.
- Lucy speaks very highly of you.
Who's Lucy?
Uh, she's our Kasie.
What can I do for you, Agent Frank?
KNIGHT: Uh, we need to take a look
at the recording device you found.
Oh.
You mean
this teeny little thing?
That's it.
That's what Tanner gave Reyna
to plant in Serrano's office.
Were you able to pull any
of the audio off of it?
I'm not a miracle worker.
Not what I heard.
Well, it's burnt to a crisp.
Along with whatever's on it.
So we're back to blowing up watermelons?
(PHONE CHIMES)
Or maybe not.
Torres just got back from the hospital.
- You must be Agent Torres.
- You're Frank, right?
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you, too.
So it took a little, uh, doing,
but I finally got the hospital
security footage.
So, Reyna and the nurse left
for the MRI at around 9:30 a.m.
- Can you, uh, fast-forward?
- Yep.
KNIGHT: That's backwards.
Yeah, yeah.
Little faster.
There. Back that up.
Where are they going?
The MRI is the other way.
Hold on.
(TYPING)
Pulling up the parking garage.
Why would a nurse take a patient
to a parking garage?
Something's wrong.
Whoa.
KNIGHT: Why is she running?
TORRES: Damn, he has a gun.
Reyna didn't run away.
She's kidnapped.
How'd the Serranos even know
where to find Reyna?
Yeah, with the media coverage
your Wonder Woman's gotten,
I can't say I'm surprised.
If Nurse Allegra in there
works for Serrano
letting her sweat it out
is not gonna work.
(DOOR CLOSES)
How's your eye?
Will this take long? I have to
pick my daughter up from school.
You may need to call somebody for that.
Who are they?
Cat got your tongue?
I don't know who they are.
Really?
You just hand off one of your patients
to some random strangers in a garage?
If you talk to us,
we can protect you.
But if Reyna Vargas dies
or that little boy loses his mother,
that is on you.
(SOBBING)
Please.
They made me.
Who's they?
It was just before my shift.
I got out of my car
and these two men cornered me,
took my purse. I thought they
were robbing me, but
they just took my driver's license.
(SOBBING): They said
they know where I live now.
And they would hurt my family
if I don't bring Reyna out to them.
Who are they, Allegra?
We just need their names.
I don't know their names.
But one of them had a scar on his face.
Like this.
Is this the man you're talking about?
- Uh-oh.
- What's with the "uh-oh"?
We just got an eyewitness
accusing Isaac Serrano of kidnapping.
If Isaac Serrano came for Reyna himself,
he's gonna want to make
an example of her.
I know where Reyna is.
Let's hear it.
The van they used to abduct her
had a broken taillight.
You tracked a broken taillight?
The street cams are a goldmine
when you know what you're looking for.
So where is she?
FRANK: Mateo's Taqueria.
That cocky bastard took Reyna
back to their home base.
That's deep in Serranos territory.
They have eyes on every corner.
MCGEE: They're probably thinking
Serrano's untouchable in there.
Yeah, he was.
But now we have probable
cause to go in and round 'em up.
Easy there, cowboy.
You're not going in guns a-blazing.
In fact, you're not going in at all.
Parker, they killed my partner.
We don't know that.
I know that.
Would you wait on the sidelines
if it was one of yours?
No. I wouldn't.
But if you're coming, we got
to have an understanding.
Okay, make me understand.
This is our op.
So it's our rules.
Fine.
MCGEE: And someone's
gonna have to go in first.
Do some recon, get the lay of the land.
At least let that be me.
No offense, but, uh,
Serrano's men will make you.
Maybe before you even clear the door.
- Torres, you go in first.
- Good.
I've been craving some, uh,
money-laundered tacos.
Don't forget we got civilians in there.
You need to find a way to evacuate them
- before we can get inside.
- Roger.
Uh we got this, Knight.
You're staying.
But hostage situations are my forte.
Yeah, but right now Wonder Woman
is way too recognizable.
I can't risk compromising the mission.
Besides, you also promised the mom
that you'd take care of the kid, so
Look, look, I get it.
Kids hate me, too.
I'm no natural, not like
Torres or Kasie, but
I've learned it doesn't matter.
Kids don't need to love you.
So, what do they need?
To know they can depend on you.
So go on, Wonder Woman.
Fantastic Four has got this.
And I used to like comic books.
(SIGHS)
The usual for you, Jess?
Yes, thank you, Elaine.
How about you, hon?
I'm not hungry.
Not even for a cheeseburger?
I got a grandson your age.
He inhales two in one sitting.
Yum. That sounds delicious.
How about we do that with curly fries?
How's that sound?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Okay, no, no.
We are not doing this dance again.
You cannot ignore me this entire dinner.
I said I wasn't hungry.
You should've just left me with Kasie.
Well, no can do.
From now on, you are stuck with me.
I told your mom
I would take care of you.
And I'm going to keep that promise.
Okay?
Okay.
Sir.
Put the phone away
before I confiscate it.
(WHISPERING): Can you do that?
(WHISPERING):
No, but he doesn't know that.
(SOFT LAUGH)
(CHUCKLES)
So what are you listening to, anyway?
You want to hear?
Sure.
I mix my own tracks.
♪
KASIE: Hit-hit-hit it, Adam ♪
ADAM: Fire in the hole! ♪
JIMMY: Do we have any more ♪
- Wa-Wa-Watermelon? ♪
- (LAUGHS)
KASIE: Hit-hit-hit it, Adam ♪
Is that Kasie?
JIMMY: Do we have any more ♪
And that's Jimmy.
Wa-Wa-Watermelon ♪
You made this? This is amazing.
KASIE: Hit-hit-hit it, Adam. ♪
There's a lot of sounds
that people ignore.
You know, like
(CLINKING)
The car alarm outside.
- (ALARM BLARING)
- It's been going on for a minute,
but no one's even looked up.
Huh.
- (ALARM SHUTS OFF)
- You're very perceptive, Adam.
Uncle Dan said I'd make
a good investigator.
Did you spend a lot of time with him?
Some. He'd record cool sounds
and bring them for me
to use in my music.
And we had this game.
He'd play these random cues
and make me guess what they were.
I always got it right.
I bet you did.
But my mom? She got it wrong.
She doesn't have the ear.
That's what Dan said. She
Hey.
Hey, Adam, she's gonna be okay.
You know how good you are at this?
My team is really good
at what they do, too.
And they're gonna bring your mom home.
("QUIERO QUE SEPAS"
BY LOS REYES TOREROS PLAYING)
In position.
The hallway leads to the restroom,
the kitchen has a back door.
PARKER: How about the clientele?
Unsavory.
We got two men,
potential cartel members.
Could be packing heat.
Six others. And the staff.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(WAITRESS SPEAKS SPANISH)
You, uh, know what they're saying?
Nope, but that is definitely
Torres' bedroom voice.
Your agent's flirting
with one of the waitresses?
Just let him do his thing.
Mateo's definitely here.
We need visual confirmation, Nick.
Can't go in unless you got
Mateo or Reyna in sight.
MCGEE: Got too many civilians.
Well, I can't exactly wait
forever for him to come out.
And Mateo's not gonna parade
her around the restaurant.
I think it's time for a fire drill.
Nick, be careful.
We don't want to alert the Serranos.
Well, you want it careful,
or you want it effective?
It can't be both.
Effective.
All right, get in position.
(FIRE ALARM RINGING)
McGee, we're in the back alley.
What's happening up front?
All right, I got four men
out and counting.
Looks like kitchen staff, too.
You got eyes on Mateo or Reyna?
MCGEE: Clear outside. Torres?
We got one more civilian. Stand by.
Torres, what's happening?
Talk to me.
Who are you?
Talk to me, Nick.
PARKER: Nick?
You clear the place?
(SPEAKS SPANISH)
I know two of those words:
"Grandma" and "gun."
Not a good combo.
PARKER: Frank and I are going
in the back door.
Stay still.
Mateo. Come out.
Yeah, Mateo.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
NCIS.
(SCREAMS)
(GRUNTING)
FRANK: Parker.
(REYNA SOBBING)
We got Reyna.
REYNA: No!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I got you, I got you.
I'm with NCIS. I'm here to help.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Got you, got you.
- That's it, that's it.
- (PANTING)
- You're okay.
- Adam?
He's fine. Let's get you to him, okay?
Here we go.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Mom? Mom!
PARKER: Ah,
she's been through the wringer.
She couldn't wait to get to her son.
She's the real Wonder Woman.
They're gonna need protective custody.
Mateo's brother's still out there.
What? What is it?
Well, they killed Tanner,
but they let Reyna live?
Why?
Reyna?
Would you mind walking us through again
what happened with Tanner this morning?
Uh
Daniel showed up outside my building.
He was bleeding, barely conscious.
And I was rushing him
to the hospital when we crashed.
KNIGHT: Then the Serranos
took you from the hospital.
What did Mateo want?
That recording device.
He kept asking where it was.
The one that you planted in his office.
- How did he know about it?
- I don't know.
I told him I didn't have it,
but he didn't believe me.
Do you know what was on it?
No, I I gave it to Daniel,
I never saw it again.
Whatever was on that device
was important to Serrano,
but we're never gonna hear it
'cause it burned up in the crash.
But what if it didn't?
MAN: 50 ♪
I got your 50 G ♪
50 ♪
Damn. Adam mixed this?
We're talking about
the same goofy 11-year-old?
Mozart was four when he got started.
You want to tell me
what we're looking for here?
Agent Tanner would record
and bring audio clips
for Adam to sample in his music.
Our whiz kid would download
the clips onto his phone.
And when Adam saw this recording device,
he thought that Tanner
brought it for him.
So he copied the files on it
And used them in his mix.
The mix we're listening to right now?
The device may have burned,
but thanks to Adam,
we have pieces of the original
recording in his song.
He's woven several pieces together.
Uh, got the bass.
♪
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
for the melody.
(FIFTH SYMPHONY PLAYS)
And here's the vocal track.
MAN: 50.
It'll be in Lincoln Park.
KNIGHT: Whose voice is that?
Wait, there's more.
I got your 50 G.
(ECHOING): It'll be in Lincoln Park.
That's Serrano. He's on the phone.
According to the metadata,
this was recorded at
Mateo's Taqueria.
Can you enhance it?
Adam only used a piece.
Here's the full clip
stitched back together.
I got your 50 G.
It'll be in Lincoln Park.
Second bench from the statue, 4:00 p.m.
Just take care of Tanner.
We find out who went
to Lincoln Park at 4:00 p.m
We know who killed Tanner.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
FRANK: Parker. Agent Knight.
Just came to collect Tanner's remains.
I was going to come up after,
thank the whole team.
Thought we'd save you the trip.
We recovered the murder weapon.
Prints were wiped clean.
But you already knew that.
Come again?
You planted that gun in Mateo's office.
Wanted us to believe
that he killed your partner.
You work for the Serranos.
I killed Mateo,
to save your ass no less.
Why would I do that
if I was working for the cartel?
Because you knew that
if we brought him in
for questioning, he'd rat you out.
And he would tell us
that you killed Tanner.
(LAUGHS)
You've all lost your minds.
This is you in Lincoln Park
three days ago.
Security cam caught you.
It'll prove that you took
a bribe from Serrano.
This? All this proves is
I like going to parks.
- You got me.
- Yeah, you're right.
On its own, the photo means nothing.
But the $50,000 in your bank
and the recording
sure gives it context.
There is no recording. It burned.
Lucky for us
we found a copy.
MATEO: It'll be in Lincoln Park.
Second bench from the statue.
Just take care of Tanner.
That's Mateo Serrano.
You know the drill.
MCGEE: Frank confessed
to working for the Serranos.
And killing Tanner.
He rolled over fast.
He cut a deal with the D.A.
to do, uh, his time, uh, out of state.
Yeah, he gave up Isaac Serrano
and other key players
in their operation.
So, the eastern arm of
the Serrano cartel is no more.
What happens with Adam and his mom now?
Well, Reyna's help was essential
in taking down the cartel.
Customs and immigration
are removing the block on her
naturalization application.
They won't ever have to worry
about being separated.
At least not until Adam
goes away to Juilliard.
Hey, there he is.
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
I have so much to thank you for,
I don't know where to start.
Just
Just keep him safe.
She's not really Wonder Woman, you know.
Keep her safe.
Don't worry, this team
we look out for each other.
Adam. Let's go.
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you, Agent Knight.
This is for you.
Kasie helped me make it.
Is this what I think it is?
Let's go.
Thank you.
Y'all hear that?
Hear what?
Nothing.
There are no more phones ringing.
Does that mean your 15 minutes are up?
Wonder Woman sure hopes so.
