NCIS (2003–…): Season 20, Episode 19 - In the Spotlight - full transcript
Agent Knight saves a mother and child from a potentially fatal car accident and she is now viral for this reason.
Ugh, you got
to be kidding me.
Navy Yard security
is backed up again.
Let me guess. You're stuck
at the southeast gate.
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?
Stay back. I smell gas.
Help, it's stuck! I can't...
Help!
Okay. I got you.
All right, out. Hey! Help me.
Grab him. Keep him back.
Get my mom!
Yeah, I got her,
I got her. Mom!
Okay.
It's stuck.
On three. One, two,
three. Okay, come on, come on.
Get away. Grab her. Stay
back, and let's...
I got him, I got him.
Stay back.
Oh!
Hi. Can I borrow this?
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, what
are you doing? That's mine.
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.
What the hell was that?
Looks like our southeast gate.
Says there's a crash
outside the Navy Yard.
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.
Mom.
The police are here.
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.
Please, no police.
Why are you afraid
of the police?
Please, I can't lose my son.
Mom. They're coming.
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.
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. Si ntate.
Go listen to your
music. It's okay.
His father died a few years ago.
So he thinks it's his
job to protect me.
What is he? Ten?
11.
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.
"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.
Whoa. 20 texts.
Well, I guess I'm not
the only popular one.
No, actually...
You are.
Your rescue has gone viral.
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.
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?
Dr. Jensen
to fourth floor nurses' station.
I just wanted some chips.
Well, you're a growing boy.
Dig in.
Physical
therapy, dial 3172.
What? He looked hungry.
Oh, so you're not
trying to bribe him?
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.
It's Parker.
Oh, we got a problem.
Code Green.
North building, third floor.
Okay, Adam, we got to go.
North building, third floor.
Hey, nurse.
Excuse me.
What's Code Green?
Missing patient.
North building, third floor.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
On
paper, Mateo appears clean.
By all appearances,
an entrepreneur.
D-Does someone want to get that?
Got it. Continue.
So, uh, who does
Mateo's dirty work?
This mean bastard.
Mateo's brother Isaac Serrano.
Arrested for assault,
attempted murder,
but no convictions.
Mateo and Isaac
run a tight ship.
Their operation's been
nearly impossible to breach.
Reporters.
No rest for Wonder Woman.
That's you?
Mm.
Okay, so back to Reyna.
How's she involved in this?
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.
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?
Do I look like Gallagher to you?
Okay, this is more like it.
Adam, it's good to see
you having some fun.
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?
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?
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.
That's backwards.
Yeah, yeah.
Little faster.
There. Back that up.
Where are they going?
The MRI is the other way.
Hold on.
Pulling up the parking garage.
Why would a nurse take a
patient to a parking garage?
Something's wrong.
Whoa.
Why is she running?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Can you do that?
No, but
he doesn't know that.
So what are you
listening to, anyway?
You want to hear?
Sure.
I mix my own tracks.
♪ Hit-hit-hit
it, Adam ♪
♪ Fire in the hole! ♪
♪ Do we have any more ♪
♪ Wa-Wa-Watermelon? ♪
♪ Hit-hit-hit
it, Adam... ♪
Is that Kasie?
♪ 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...
The car alarm outside.
It's been
going on for a minute,
but no one's even looked up.
Huh.
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.
In position.
The hallway leads
to the restroom,
the kitchen has a back door.
How about
the clientele?
Unsavory.
We got two men,
potential cartel members.
Could be packing heat.
Six others. And the staff.
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.
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.
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?
Clear outside. Torres?
We got one more
civilian. Stand by.
Torres, what's happening?
Talk to me.
Who are you?
Talk to me, Nick.
Nick?
You clear the place?
"Grandma" and "gun."
Not a good combo.
Frank and I are
going in the back door.
Stay still.
Mateo. Come out.
Yeah, Mateo.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
NCIS.
Parker.
We got 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.
You're okay. Adam?
He's fine. Let's get
you to him, okay?
Here we go.
Mom? Mom!
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.
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?
♪ 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.
And here's the vocal track.
50.
It'll be in Lincoln Park.
Whose voice is that?
Wait, there's more.
I got your 50 G.
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.
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.
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.
It'll be
in Lincoln Park.
Second bench from the statue.
Just take care of Tanner.
That's Mateo Serrano.
You know the drill.
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.
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.
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.
♪ Called Wonder
Woman, Wonder Woman ♪
♪ Wonder Woman. ♪
to be kidding me.
Navy Yard security
is backed up again.
Let me guess. You're stuck
at the southeast gate.
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?
Stay back. I smell gas.
Help, it's stuck! I can't...
Help!
Okay. I got you.
All right, out. Hey! Help me.
Grab him. Keep him back.
Get my mom!
Yeah, I got her,
I got her. Mom!
Okay.
It's stuck.
On three. One, two,
three. Okay, come on, come on.
Get away. Grab her. Stay
back, and let's...
I got him, I got him.
Stay back.
Oh!
Hi. Can I borrow this?
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, what
are you doing? That's mine.
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.
What the hell was that?
Looks like our southeast gate.
Says there's a crash
outside the Navy Yard.
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.
Mom.
The police are here.
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.
Please, no police.
Why are you afraid
of the police?
Please, I can't lose my son.
Mom. They're coming.
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.
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. Si ntate.
Go listen to your
music. It's okay.
His father died a few years ago.
So he thinks it's his
job to protect me.
What is he? Ten?
11.
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.
"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.
Whoa. 20 texts.
Well, I guess I'm not
the only popular one.
No, actually...
You are.
Your rescue has gone viral.
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.
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?
Dr. Jensen
to fourth floor nurses' station.
I just wanted some chips.
Well, you're a growing boy.
Dig in.
Physical
therapy, dial 3172.
What? He looked hungry.
Oh, so you're not
trying to bribe him?
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.
It's Parker.
Oh, we got a problem.
Code Green.
North building, third floor.
Okay, Adam, we got to go.
North building, third floor.
Hey, nurse.
Excuse me.
What's Code Green?
Missing patient.
North building, third floor.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
On
paper, Mateo appears clean.
By all appearances,
an entrepreneur.
D-Does someone want to get that?
Got it. Continue.
So, uh, who does
Mateo's dirty work?
This mean bastard.
Mateo's brother Isaac Serrano.
Arrested for assault,
attempted murder,
but no convictions.
Mateo and Isaac
run a tight ship.
Their operation's been
nearly impossible to breach.
Reporters.
No rest for Wonder Woman.
That's you?
Mm.
Okay, so back to Reyna.
How's she involved in this?
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.
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?
Do I look like Gallagher to you?
Okay, this is more like it.
Adam, it's good to see
you having some fun.
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?
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?
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.
That's backwards.
Yeah, yeah.
Little faster.
There. Back that up.
Where are they going?
The MRI is the other way.
Hold on.
Pulling up the parking garage.
Why would a nurse take a
patient to a parking garage?
Something's wrong.
Whoa.
Why is she running?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Can you do that?
No, but
he doesn't know that.
So what are you
listening to, anyway?
You want to hear?
Sure.
I mix my own tracks.

KASIE: ♪ Hit-hit-hit

There's a lot of sounds
that people ignore.
You know, like...
The car alarm outside.
It's been
going on for a minute,
but no one's even looked up.
Huh.
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.
In position.
The hallway leads
to the restroom,
the kitchen has a back door.
How about
the clientele?
Unsavory.
We got two men,
potential cartel members.
Could be packing heat.
Six others. And the staff.
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.
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.
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?
Clear outside. Torres?
We got one more
civilian. Stand by.
Torres, what's happening?
Talk to me.
Who are you?
Talk to me, Nick.
Nick?
You clear the place?
"Grandma" and "gun."
Not a good combo.
Frank and I are
going in the back door.
Stay still.
Mateo. Come out.
Yeah, Mateo.
Come out, come out,
wherever you are.
NCIS.
Parker.
We got 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.
You're okay. Adam?
He's fine. Let's get
you to him, okay?
Here we go.
Mom? Mom!
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.
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?

♪ 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.
And here's the vocal track.
50.
It'll be in Lincoln Park.
Whose voice is that?
Wait, there's more.
I got your 50 G.
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.
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.
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.
It'll be
in Lincoln Park.
Second bench from the statue.
Just take care of Tanner.
That's Mateo Serrano.
You know the drill.
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.
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.
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.
