NCIS: New Orleans (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - Undocumented - full transcript
The team investigates the murder of an immigrant Petty Officer that was made to look like a suicide and, in the meantime, creates an online dating profile for Pride.
I mean, I thought
I'd never get in.
I'm pretty much
the last person
that anyone thought
would go to college.
Truer words have
never been spoken.
Yeah, man, but for some
reason, they want me.
I'm enrolling in the fall.
Thinking about
a major in English.
Or... you just could put
a couple hundred grand
in a trash can
and light it on fire.
Help you gentlemen?
Whoa, whoa... now.
Move away from the car.
Easy, fella,
all right?
Troy's Repo.
I told those bastards
I'd make the payment.
I understand that,
but you're gonna have
to take that up with them.
I've wanted a Beemer
since I was 12 years old.
You really think
I'm gonna let you
just sneak it out
from under my nose?
We totally respect
your feelings, okay?
But, uh, this is a really
bad time for me to get shot.
So if you could just
lower the gun...
Good God.

Oh.
A man working
for his dinner.
Any steak frites
worth having
demand a proper
béarnaise.
Not for the weak of spirit.
Hey, you gonna fry these
potatoes in that duck fat too,
right?
I got your back, buddy.
Ooh-wee.
Man, this food look good.
I want to take a picture.
Be right back.
Got to put
my cardiologist on alert.
Did you get it?
Come on, Big Country, you know
you send me into battle,
I'm coming back with a scalp.
Ooh, it's kind of intense.
I was looking to show
Pride's softer side.
No, no, see, that's
where you're wrong.
“Intense” is what the women
on NolaMingle want.
By all means.
I can hear them cooing
on the Interweb right now.
Okay, what exactly
does that sound like?
You know, maybe we should get
Sonja to chime in on this.
Oh, she “gone baby gone.”
Said she had personal business,
needed a few days.
Okay, well, if she were here,
she would say
this is a very bad idea.
I don't think Pride wants us
setting up his dates.
Look, I love King,
but the man doesn't always
know what he wants,
all right?
Need I remind you, mate,
the sexy detective
from the outback?
Agent Parsons.
Yep, now she's back
in Aussieland.
Missed opportunity.
- Yeah, which will not happen again.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm officially out.
Dinner's gonna
have to wait.
Dead sailor in Algiers.
All righty then.
Hey, holler if you need me.
What's with him?
Oh, I ain't got a clue.
Victim is Petty Officer
Second Class Mateo Ortega.
According to witnesses,
the petty officer
took a nosedive
straight off the overpass.
Spot is
notorious for jumpers.
It could be suicide.
They see him jump?
They did not.
Only saw the crash.
Sounds like we should...
Canvass for more witnesses, look
at security cams, I'm on it.
Loretta.
Man, this car
took a beating.
Unfortunately,
so did our petty officer.
He has massive contusions
on almost every area
of his body.
It's all consistent with a fall
from a great height.
Smells like someone's
been drinking.
Bourbon, I believe.
Like he took a bath in it.
So is there any indication
this isn't suicide?
It's hard to sort out much
of anything in this mess,
but when I do,
you'll be my first call.
Didn't get much
better than Mateo.
Maybe the hardest
worker I ever saw.
Operational specialist,
helped maintain the Combat
Information Center.
Diligent to a fault.
Had to be, I suppose.
Why's that?
Mateo was born
in Honduras.
Came from nothing.
Dangerous place.
His family got asylum status
in the U.S.,
and he found his way
into the Navy through MAVNI.
Immigrant recruitment program.
We give legal immigrants
a pathway to citizenship.
And we don't accept
just anyone.
Best and brightest.
I'm guessing when you heard
the word “suicide,”
must have been a big shock.
Honestly, wish it was.
Something recently
had just been off.
How so?
He just seemed stressed.
Arriving late,
losing his temper.
One day, I even saw him crying.
And we have
ways to help.
A team of counselors
are always there,
but yesterday he didn't
even show up for duty.
Had to report him UA.
Any idea what was going on?
No, but one person
you should talk to
is his brother Victor.
He's an electrician
for one of our contractors.
Should be around here somewhere.
Need to ask you a few questions
about your brother,
how he had been doing.
As far as I knew, he was fine.
Division officer...
thought differently.
Guess I was wrong.
Would he normally
confide in you?
I mean, not always.
He liked to handle
things on his own.
Didn't want me worrying
all the time.
Well, can't help but feeling...
like I screwed up,
like I should have
done something.
What could you
have done, Victor?
I don't know.
It's not your fault.
All right?
You need to hear that.
Listen...
I got an older brother myself,
and he's had his fair
share of problems.
Always fell on me
to look after him.
So I can relate.
And you can't blame yourself.
Take care, all right?
Can I see him?
His body.
I just want to say good-bye.
Wait here; I'll be back.
Sebastian, Miss Loretta...
I got the brother outside.
Can he see the body?
Of course; he just has
to sign some paperwork.
Uh, but first you're gonna want
to take a look at this.
Christopher, upon
initial observation,
I suspected these were cuts,
from the broken glass
of the car.
But then we took note
of the consistent size
and the curvilinear shape.
And we realized these were
fingernail markings.
Then there's this.
A clean break of the hyoid bone
in Mateo's neck.
Those are both consistent
with manual strangulation.
This suicide was staged,
Christopher.
Petty Officer Ortega.
Tell me what we know.
More like what
we don't know.
Why he was acting strangely
and why he went UA.
And why did he empty
his bank account?
Nine days ago, his savings
went from ten grand...
to zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
Anything pop
in his service record?
Nothing derogatory.
25 years of age, excellent
performance evaluations.
Spent the last year working
with the Coast Guard and ICE
on a border control assignment.
One thing we do know,
according to Mateo's calendar,
yesterday morning,
he was supposed to be
at the Nunez Center.
Honduran Community Center.
Mid-City.
I'll check it out.
Brody, see what our friends
in the morgue are up to.
And I'll call in
the petty officer's mother.
Gracias.
Look, you don't have
to be nervous, ma'am.
Ma hasn't had the best
experiences with the law.
I love this country.
But things happen
when you are an immigrant.
Miss Ortega, there's only one
thing I care about right now--
helping your family.
Esta bien.
Okay.
What do you want to know?
Is there anything
you can tell me about...
who would harm your son?
Enemies?
No, not Mateo.
Maybe people have a problem
with Victor sometimes.
He is the
sabelotodo.
The wiseass.
Yeah, sounds like my brother.
But not Mateo.
Mateo was the good boy.
Still living at home with Mommy.
And what's wrong with that, huh?
Let me tell you something.
When we came
to the United States,
we traveled 1,200 miles
from Honduras.
1,200.
And the entire time,
Mateo was smiling.
Hmm?
15 years old.
With almost no food,
no water, no shelter.
And he smiles.
Who would hurt
someone like that?
You've completely
lost it.
I must respectfully
disagree.
I mean, look
at this dude.
Pride's a stud.
Now picture him
in a bespoke suit,
maybe leaned up against some
kind of high-end automobile.
You can't use a Photoshopped
picture on a profile.
Can't believe Patton
got you into this.
Do you know the one thing that
a woman looks for in a man?
Well, since I am a woman,
I can tell you it's...
High earning potential.
It's a biological fact.
We, as a species,
are attracted to stability.
I'd merely be tapping
into that need.
Okay, that's an
interesting perspective,
but what's gonna happen
when the woman shows up
on the date
and the real Pride appears?
It's a minor detail.
Oh, my God.
All right, one to ten,
what would you give him?
Don't even think about it,
just throw out a number.
This has “epic fail”
written all over it.
Loretta, please back me up.
All I know is I tried
setting Dwayne up once,
and he ducked me
like Muhammad Ali.
Come, there's some things
you should see.
Once we knew the
suicide was staged,
we began to dig deeper.
And these marks are not
the result of a fall.
It's septicemia.
It's an infection caused
by bacteria in the blood.
We've yet to determine exactly
what type of bacteria.
This also septicemia?
No, this is
another matter entirely.
X-rays showed two different
broken bones--
the trapezoid and the hamate.
And these bones were
beginning to heal.
I'd say this break
happened in the last few days.
Yeah, the bruising pattern
suggests it was caused by a blow
from a small, compact object.
Likely a hammer.
So someone intentionally
broke his hand.
It would seem.
I'll let Pride know.
Thanks, you guys.
Mm-hmm.
Mateo volunteered
at least three days a week.
200 people come
through a week.
We find jobs, housing,
sometimes just a hot meal.
Mateo did it all.
Mateo was attacked recently.
Had his hand broken.
Any idea who'd do that?
He dealt with some
difficult situations.
Domestic abuse,
gang mediation.
We'd like to talk to some
of the people Mateo helped.
Of course.
I'll get you a list.
But, to be honest,
it might not be the
best use of your time.
How's that?
Uh, people who come here
tend to be a little suspicious
of outsiders.
Particularly people with badges?
King.
“1821”.
Yeah, we got tagged.
So did the rest
of the neighborhood.
- It's such a mess.
- Gang graffiti?
Looks that way.
Never heard of 'em.
Though maybe Mateo did.
You know anything about them?
No.
Sorry.
I'd rather not get involved.
We understand.
We'll look into it.
Dwayne King Pride,
meet Edgar Barrios.
According to
the Street Gang Unit,
he is the leader of the 1821s.
Got up and running
four months back.
Strong ties to the Sula Mafia--
major cartel out of Choloma,
which is where
he's from originally.
Looks like the 1821s
are ambitious.
Drug dealing, extortion,
terrorizing the community.
You saw how scared that woman
was at the Nunez Center.
Yeah, and most recently,
they started a network
of coyotes,
bringing illegal immigrants
into the country.
But here's where
it gets interesting.
Barrios's frequent method
of intimidation.
When he wants something
from you, you don't give,
he tends to favor
home improvement tools
like his trusty hammer.
So maybe Barrios
had a beef with someone
at the center,
Mateo got involved...?
Barrios brought his talents
to Mateo's hand.
It's a theory.
Know what 1821 is?
It's the year of the
Honduran Revolution.
Hmm.
How about this?
What do you say we, uh,
bring the revolution...
to them?
NCIS! Open up!
Federal agents!
You hear that?
Breacher up.
Hey, in here.
Underneath the floor.
Ready?
Yeah.
I'll be back.
Talked to
a few people so far.
All of them arrived
from Honduras.
Been here two days.
Families in
the States paid Barrios
to coyote them into the country.
So if they already paid,
why is Barrios holding
onto them?
Barrios isn't what we'd call
an honest broker.
Wouldn't release them
unless their families
came up with another 2,500.
They ain't had a meal
or a glass of water in days.
Randy.
Dwayne.
How you been?
Good.
Good.
Brody,
meet ICE Agent Randy Wilson.
Nice to meet you.
And you. Called in someone
I could trust.
Lasalle.
Wilson.
Yeah.
Worked more than our share
of cases together
over the years.
What brings y'all
into this mess?
Edgar Barrios.
Prime suspect
in the murder of a sailor.
It's funny you should mention
that name.
I just had a chat
with the Coast Guard
about Barrios.
Couple weeks back,
they stopped a boat
full of immigrants.
Thought Barrios was behind it,
but nothing actionable.
Good.
We can take him down together.
Come on.
Let's start
with...
how did they bring you
into the country?
“They packed us into a boat.
There was no room
to even move your legs”"
I was so sick.
I just...
closed my eyes and pray.
“When the boat landed
it was the middle of the night”.
“They put us in an old van.”
“Then they drove us
to the house.”
Did you have any sense
where the boat came ashore?
Grand... Isla?
“There was a sign in the road.
Grand Isle.”
What happened here?
“That man, he hit me.”
“A hammer.”
You wish
you could help them all.
And maybe some we can.
A few will probably get to stay
with their families,
especially if they qualify
for asylum status.
And the rest?
They'll go through
deportation hearings.
Sad truth is, most will be
returned to Honduras.
Yeah.
After all they've
been through,
risking their lives.
Believe me, I get it.
After 20 years, you'd think
I could say I was used to it.
Yeah.
Listen, something unrelated
I wanted to mention.
ICE started tracking
the American militia movement.
They've been involved in some
hate crimes against immigrants.
Your name popped up.
I hear they put a...
Bounty on my head?
75,000.
Huh, used to be 50.
I'm getting popular.
I just want to make sure
you're watching your six, yeah?
Always am.
All right. See you.
Thanks.
So...
no one knows
where to find Barrios.
And we still don't know
what Petty Officer Ortega's
connection to this is.
May have something
on that front.
The woman I was speaking to
has a daughter
who frequents the Nunez Center--
Paula Castillo.
Apparently, she paid Barrios
to get her mother over.
I think she's one of the folks
that Petty Officer Ortega
helped.
Yep.
Right, so maybe he found out
about the coyote network
through Paula Castillo.
And Barrios killed him
before he could expose it.
Now all we have to do is find
the son of a bitch.
So I've stumbled
upon a significant discovery.
I was trying to make
Pride's profile go online,
but I couldn't 'cause--
oh, wait, look!
He already has one!
He beat us to the punch.
I mean, I'm kind of glad
he getting his groove back,
but you'd think
I'd have known before you.
What? Why's that?
It's strictly a pheromone thing.
I-I kind of got a sixth sense
for when people
are getting it on.
A pheromone thing?
What does that make you,
like, the Booty Whisperer?
No, no, no, no, no.
That's... What are you...
Hey!
Doesn't anyone around here
knock anymore?
That's...
I wasn't doing anything.
I'm gonna make
an executive decision here
and end this conversation.
Love y'a...
Okay, as far
as work-related matters,
we've determined the cause
of the petty officer's
septicemia.
Yeah, it's
meningococcal meningitis.
It's a rare
and serious infection.
Along with septicemia,
it causes the membrane
which covers the brain
and spinal cord
to become inflamed.
Yeah, but here's the kicker.
There are six
different variations
of the bacteria.
Mateo was infected
with Group W-135.
But W-135 is almost unheard of
in the United States.
Where is it common?
Well, among a few places,
Southern Africa,
Central America...
Mateo never left the country.
So he'd have to be
in contact with someone
who'd just been
in one of those regions.
Likely, yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Think he knows
what we've been doing?
Why don't you ask
the Booty Whisperer?
All right, I don't think we
should latch onto that nickname.
Okay? 'Cause it's gonna go
right to his head.
The Booty Whisperer, huh?
The booty what?
I see word travel
fast around here.
Just so you know,
I didn't coin the phrase.
Kinda rolls off the tongue,
doesn't it?
Booty Whisperer...
In other news...
I tracked down a security cam by
Grand Isle Port.
This is where
the immigrants came in.
This was taken
the night they got here.
They said they came in
the middle of the night,
and they were
picked up by an old van.
This is 2:00 a.m.
and that's a hunk of junk.
Sounds like BOLO time.
I'm on it.
Thank you.
Talking with a doctor who's
treating the immigrants.
One of them tested
positive for meningitis.
Are the rest of 'em
getting antibiotics?
As well as anyone who had
prolonged contact with him.
Which sounds like
it included Mateo.
Patton?
Yeah.
Okay.
Go back through
Mateo's electronic life.
I want you to scour
everything over.
I'll do what I do.
Brody, Lasalle...
do a search of Mateo's house.
Well, let's slow down a second.
Mateo lived with his mother.
Last thing I want to do
is make her life more difficult.
You'll be respectful.
We're missing
a big piece here, Chris.
Gotta go where
the evidence takes us, right?
What are they even looking for?
I apologize, ma'am.
But we'll be done
as quick as we can.
Look, you said you were
gonna find his killer.
All right? Not get all up
in my mother's business.
Look, I'd be just as upset
if they were searching
my mother's house, but...
you gotta
let us do our job.
Don't!
I think they should go.
We can.
But we're just gonna come
back later with a warrant.
You people!
Ma!
Lasalle...
there's something
you need to see.
Check this out.
The same van that was used to
transport the immigrants.
What are you saying?
Saying that Mateo
wasn't trying to stop Barrios.
He might've been involved.
Mrs. Ortega...
I have to ask you:
The van at your house...
You know if Mateo used it
three nights ago?
That's the night
before he died.
I don't know.
Maybe. Why?
We believe the van...
transported
some illegal immigrants.
Were you home that night?
Yes... but I go to bed early.
I don't keep an eye on Mateo.
You sure
you didn't hear anything?
The van starting,
the garage opening...
I told you...
no.
Then beyond you and Mateo,
anyone else have
access to the van?
Not Victor?
He doesn't have a key.
Listen, your brother...
I know you love him,
but much as you care about him
he wasn't perfect.
I know the feeling.
I've had it myself.
Whatever he did...
he had a good reason.
But you don't know
what that reason is?
'Cause if you do,
you know I can help.
Of course I don't.
I would have told you.
Sorry to have
troubled you.
Thank you.
Mom...
Dwayne...
We got a problem.
It's Mrs. Ortega.
What about her?
That van?
She's the registered owner.
Now, since it was used
in connection with a crime,
it could threaten
her asylum status.
I gotta take her in
for questioning.
Randy... there's no evidence
she was involved.
I got people looking
over my shoulder, Dwayne.
It's a redball case.
I gotta follow procedure.
But once everything
calms down,
then some things can slip
through the cracks.
You understand what I'm saying.
I'm sorry.
Really.
Sorry, son,
but I need to take
your mother in.
It's procedure.
No.
No, no, no. Hell, no.
What are... what are you...
Don't...
Get off me!
Hey, I said get off me!
Guys... guys...
Don't make a scene.
I am sorry.
Don't worry.
That your idea of help?
Niños!
Hey.
What you got there?
Patton found this
on Mateo's Facebook.
When my mom was cooking,
Cade and I used to
have burping contests
to distract her.
Terrible.
We'd get
a can of Coke...
and just belt out
our A-B-C's
as loud as we could.
Yeah, she hated us.
There's a shock.
Here's what I don't get:
why Mateo,
a respected Navy sailor,
is connected
to a guy like Barrios?
And if they're working together
bringing people over...
why does Barrios
turn around and kill him?
That, I don't know.
Doesn't look like we'll
get a chance to ask him.
Lovely place
to spend the evening.
Eh, I'd prefer Sazerac's
at the Roosevelt Hotel,
but what can you do?
So... tell me things.
Workers found Barrios
a few hours ago.
Want you to note
the cutaneous bruising,
the abrasions,
the engorgement of the tissue.
Manual strangulation.
Just like Petty Officer Ortega.
And, just like
the Petty Officer...
fingernail markings.
I'll bet you a penny,
when I get him on the table,
I'll find...
It's the same pattern.
Mm-hmm.
Wade was right.
Same fingernail pattern
for both Mateo and Barrios.
So someone else
strangled both of 'em.
And we're back
to square one.
Well, we know Mateo was involved
in the coyote ring,
so it must be
something do with that.
But we got no idea
why Mateo was involved.
And even less of a clue
why someone would want
to kill him and Barrios.
I mean, do we have
anything else to go on?
Found these in Mateo's drawers.
In a stack of papers.
Series of cash wire transfers
to a bank account in Honduras.
Few hundred dollars every week.
Are we looking at pay-outs
to someone else
in the coyote ring?
Maybe someone
with a motive.
I've put a call in to the bank
to see who owns the account.
Well, let's hope it's
not another dead end.
Hey...
y'all having a party,
ain't nobody call me?
A drink sounds like
a really good idea right now.
Well, I say we stay sober
for the time being,
'cause I got
something that's gonna
lift your spirits
right up.
Special delivery flying in.
What am I
looking at, here?
This is Coast Guard's
patrol routes. I had to go
Dumpster diving through
Mateo's e-trash to find 'em.
Routes for
Grand Isle Port.
That's where the
immigrants came in.
Dated January 16.
The night they arrived.
So if the
routes are where
the immigrants arrived,
was Barrios using
Mateo's Intel
to get the boat in?
Maybe.
But Mateo cared about his work.
And the community.
I mean, something
doesn't make sense.
What we need to do is find
someone else in the 1821s.
They're behind the coyote ring.
They might have some info.
Maybe I can help you with this.
I found a second file
in Mateo's trash.
It's the Coast Guard routes
for the same area,
but this one is dated
January 19-- that's today.
Another shipment
of immigrants.
And a good place
to find an 1821.
Apurante, andale. Vamanos!
Apurate... vamonos, apurante.
Apurante.
U.S. Coast Guard!
Get down on the ground!
NCIS! Get down!
Policía!
Get down. Get down.
Get down. Hands up.
Get down on the ground!
Get down on the ground!
Drop your weapon!
Get down. Get down.
NCIS!
Come out of there!
We got a runner!
I'm on him!
NCIS! Stop!
You stop!
Stay down
on the ground!
Get your hands where I can see 'em!
Okay!
Get 'em up! Keep 'em up!
Okay, okay, don't shoot!
Don't shoot.
Victor?
Pride get anything out of him?
All clammed up.
Won't say word one.
Pride's gonna let him stay
in there and stew for a while.
I mean, what the heck
was Victor doing there, anyway?
Here's another
question for you.
Did you know
anything about
Victor and Mateo
having a sister?
A sister? No.
I called that
bank in Honduras.
Turns out Mateo's wire transfers
were to a Claudia Ortega.
His little sister.
She's 18, lives in Choloma.
Why didn't they
ever mention that?
Here's the other thing
that's strange.
She's missing.
I called her
apartment building;
no one has seen her
in five days.
I'll talk to him.
I know about Claudia.
Does someone have her?
Is she in danger?
Damn it, Victor,
you gotta talk to me!
I got nothing to say.
Look, I'm the only one
that can help you.
I don't know you.
For all I know,
you're working with them.
Is that why you're not
being straight with me?
What?
You think I'm corrupt?
I can't trust anyone.
Well, how far do you think
that's gonna get you?
Hmm?
'Cause whatever's going on,
you can't do it alone.
Look, Victor.
When we met...
...I told you
about my brother.
You and I both know
how important it is
to take care of family.
Edgar Barrios.
His people in Honduras.
They have Claudia.
Why is she involved
with Barrios?
It's not her fault.
Claudia was too young
when we left Honduras.
The journey.
She wouldn't have made it.
We tried to bring her
out the legal way,
but with all the
violence at home now,
my mother decided
that she had to get her out.
So your mom went to Barrios.
She even emptied
Mateo's bank account.
So Mateo went
to Barrios himself.
Demands his money back.
It was a stupid idea.
I told him not to.
Barrios broke his hand.
Not just that.
He decided
he could use Mateo.
Wanted patrol routes.
They kept Claudia.
He told Mateo that
if he helped
just a couple of times,
that he would
bring Claudia over.
I thought maybe Claudia
would be there tonight.
So Mateo trusted Barrios?
Of course not.
Mateo was
a United States sailor.
Then the routes weren't real?
No.
Mateo said the best way
to get Claudia
was to take Barrios down.
He thought that when he went
to go meet the boat
that he would have backup.
It was supposed to be a sting.
Who else was
supposed to be there?
Randy?
Dwayne, what are you doing here?
We need to chat.
Uh, if this is
about Mrs. Ortega,
I only have to hold her
a little while longer.
Like I said, just
until things calm down.
Not about that.
What's going on with you?
Me?
I've always been
straight with you.
All I'm asking is you
do the same with me.
Dwayne, you're gonna
need to talk English.
I know Mateo
came to you for help.
You were supposed
to arrest Barrios.
Are you messing with me?
Listen.
I'm not here to judge.
I can't begin
to understand
what's going on
in your life,
but somehow,
you got in over your head...
and-and Barrios
offered you money...
No! No, Dwayne.
So Mateo didn't come to you
the morning after
the immigrants arrived
to find out what happened
to his backup?
No.
And you never hurt him?
Randy, you were the last person
to see him alive.
And you didn't
tell anyone.
Tell me you have an explanation.
Why would you even think that?
Because Mateo told us.
Made a video, found
it at his house.
He laid it all out.
If he did,
you would've
done something already.
Well, then you'd go to prison.
And you wouldn't
be able to help us
find his sister.
Randy, you and I,
we go way back.
You get Claudia...
home safely,
I'll do everything
in my power to help you.
All right... I'll do it.
I-I just gotta...
Lasalle.
Fancy meeting you here.
You're under arrest.
Keep your hands
where we can see them.
Dwayne?
Dwayne, hear me out.
For old time's sake.
I got him.
I know people in the militia.
I got contacts.
If there's another hit
coming down...
You really think
you can threaten me?
No, no, I-I'm saying
I can find out
if another hit's coming.
I can help you.
Why the hell would I want your
help after all you've done?
Dwayne...
Huh? There's only one decent
thing left for you to do:
Tell us where we can
find Claudia Ortega.
She's a kid, Randy!
She's 18 years old.
She's got a family
waiting for her.
That's her.
Claudia!

Did you get it?
Come on, Big Country, you know
you send me into battle,
I'm coming back with a scalp.
Ooh, it's kind of intense.
I was looking to show
Pride's softer side.
No, no, see, that's
where you're wrong.
“Intense” is what the women
on NolaMingle want.
By all means.
I can hear them cooing
on the Interweb right now.
Okay, what exactly
does that sound like?
You know, maybe we should get
Sonja to chime in on this.
Oh, she “gone baby gone.”
Said she had personal business,
needed a few days.
Okay, well, if she were here,
she would say
this is a very bad idea.
I don't think Pride wants us
setting up his dates.
Look, I love King,

all right?
Need I remind you, mate,

Yep, now she's back

Okay, I'm officially out.

have to wait.
Dead sailor in Algiers.
All righty then.
Hey, holler if you need me.
What's with him?
Oh, I ain't got a clue.
Victim is Petty Officer
Second Class Mateo Ortega.
According to witnesses,
the petty officer
took a nosedive
straight off the overpass.
Spot is
notorious for jumpers.
It could be suicide.
They see him jump?
They did not.
Only saw the crash.
Sounds like we should...
Canvass for more witnesses, look
at security cams, I'm on it.
Loretta.
Man, this car
took a beating.
Unfortunately,
so did our petty officer.
He has massive contusions
on almost every area
of his body.
It's all consistent with a fall
from a great height.
Smells like someone's
been drinking.
Bourbon, I believe.
Like he took a bath in it.
So is there any indication
this isn't suicide?
It's hard to sort out much
of anything in this mess,
but when I do,
you'll be my first call.
Didn't get much
better than Mateo.
Maybe the hardest
worker I ever saw.
Operational specialist,
helped maintain the Combat
Information Center.
Diligent to a fault.
Had to be, I suppose.
Why's that?
Mateo was born
in Honduras.
Came from nothing.
Dangerous place.
His family got asylum status
in the U.S.,
and he found his way
into the Navy through MAVNI.
Immigrant recruitment program.
We give legal immigrants
a pathway to citizenship.
And we don't accept
just anyone.
Best and brightest.
I'm guessing when you heard
the word “suicide,”
must have been a big shock.
Honestly, wish it was.
Something recently
had just been off.
How so?
He just seemed stressed.
Arriving late,
losing his temper.
One day, I even saw him crying.
And we have
ways to help.
A team of counselors
are always there,
but yesterday he didn't
even show up for duty.
Had to report him UA.
Any idea what was going on?
No, but one person
you should talk to
is his brother Victor.
He's an electrician
for one of our contractors.
Should be around here somewhere.
Need to ask you a few questions
about your brother,
how he had been doing.
As far as I knew, he was fine.
Division officer...
thought differently.
Guess I was wrong.
Would he normally
confide in you?
I mean, not always.
He liked to handle
things on his own.
Didn't want me worrying
all the time.
Well, can't help but feeling...
like I screwed up,
like I should have
done something.
What could you
have done, Victor?
I don't know.
It's not your fault.
All right?
You need to hear that.
Listen...
I got an older brother myself,
and he's had his fair
share of problems.
Always fell on me
to look after him.
So I can relate.
And you can't blame yourself.
Take care, all right?
Can I see him?
His body.
I just want to say good-bye.
Wait here; I'll be back.
Sebastian, Miss Loretta...
I got the brother outside.
Can he see the body?
Of course; he just has
to sign some paperwork.
Uh, but first you're gonna want
to take a look at this.
Christopher, upon
initial observation,
I suspected these were cuts,
from the broken glass
of the car.
But then we took note
of the consistent size
and the curvilinear shape.
And we realized these were
fingernail markings.
Then there's this.
A clean break of the hyoid bone
in Mateo's neck.
Those are both consistent
with manual strangulation.
This suicide was staged,
Christopher.
Petty Officer Ortega.
Tell me what we know.
More like what
we don't know.
Why he was acting strangely
and why he went UA.
And why did he empty
his bank account?
Nine days ago, his savings
went from ten grand...
to zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
Anything pop
in his service record?
Nothing derogatory.
25 years of age, excellent
performance evaluations.
Spent the last year working
with the Coast Guard and ICE
on a border control assignment.
One thing we do know,
according to Mateo's calendar,
yesterday morning,
he was supposed to be
at the Nunez Center.
Honduran Community Center.
Mid-City.
I'll check it out.
Brody, see what our friends
in the morgue are up to.
And I'll call in
the petty officer's mother.
Gracias.
Look, you don't have
to be nervous, ma'am.
Ma hasn't had the best
experiences with the law.
I love this country.
But things happen
when you are an immigrant.
Miss Ortega, there's only one
thing I care about right now--
helping your family.
Esta bien.
Okay.
What do you want to know?
Is there anything
you can tell me about...
who would harm your son?
Enemies?
No, not Mateo.
Maybe people have a problem
with Victor sometimes.
He is the
sabelotodo.
The wiseass.
Yeah, sounds like my brother.
But not Mateo.
Mateo was the good boy.
Still living at home with Mommy.
And what's wrong with that, huh?
Let me tell you something.
When we came
to the United States,
we traveled 1,200 miles
from Honduras.
1,200.
And the entire time,
Mateo was smiling.
Hmm?
15 years old.
With almost no food,
no water, no shelter.
And he smiles.
Who would hurt
someone like that?
You've completely
lost it.
I must respectfully
disagree.
I mean, look
at this dude.
Pride's a stud.
Now picture him
in a bespoke suit,
maybe leaned up against some
kind of high-end automobile.
You can't use a Photoshopped
picture on a profile.
Can't believe Patton
got you into this.
Do you know the one thing that
a woman looks for in a man?
Well, since I am a woman,
I can tell you it's...
High earning potential.
It's a biological fact.
We, as a species,
are attracted to stability.
I'd merely be tapping
into that need.
Okay, that's an
interesting perspective,
but what's gonna happen
when the woman shows up
on the date
and the real Pride appears?
It's a minor detail.
Oh, my God.
All right, one to ten,
what would you give him?
Don't even think about it,
just throw out a number.
This has “epic fail”
written all over it.
Loretta, please back me up.
All I know is I tried
setting Dwayne up once,
and he ducked me
like Muhammad Ali.
Come, there's some things
you should see.
Once we knew the
suicide was staged,
we began to dig deeper.
And these marks are not
the result of a fall.
It's septicemia.
It's an infection caused
by bacteria in the blood.
We've yet to determine exactly
what type of bacteria.
This also septicemia?
No, this is
another matter entirely.
X-rays showed two different
broken bones--
the trapezoid and the hamate.
And these bones were
beginning to heal.
I'd say this break
happened in the last few days.
Yeah, the bruising pattern
suggests it was caused by a blow
from a small, compact object.
Likely a hammer.
So someone intentionally
broke his hand.
It would seem.
I'll let Pride know.
Thanks, you guys.
Mm-hmm.
Mateo volunteered
at least three days a week.
200 people come
through a week.
We find jobs, housing,
sometimes just a hot meal.
Mateo did it all.
Mateo was attacked recently.
Had his hand broken.
Any idea who'd do that?
He dealt with some
difficult situations.
Domestic abuse,
gang mediation.
We'd like to talk to some
of the people Mateo helped.
Of course.
I'll get you a list.
But, to be honest,
it might not be the
best use of your time.
How's that?
Uh, people who come here
tend to be a little suspicious
of outsiders.
Particularly people with badges?
King.
“1821”.
Yeah, we got tagged.
So did the rest
of the neighborhood.
- It's such a mess.
- Gang graffiti?
Looks that way.
Never heard of 'em.
Though maybe Mateo did.
You know anything about them?
No.
Sorry.
I'd rather not get involved.
We understand.
We'll look into it.
Dwayne King Pride,
meet Edgar Barrios.
According to
the Street Gang Unit,
he is the leader of the 1821s.
Got up and running
four months back.
Strong ties to the Sula Mafia--
major cartel out of Choloma,
which is where
he's from originally.
Looks like the 1821s
are ambitious.
Drug dealing, extortion,
terrorizing the community.
You saw how scared that woman
was at the Nunez Center.
Yeah, and most recently,
they started a network
of coyotes,
bringing illegal immigrants
into the country.
But here's where
it gets interesting.
Barrios's frequent method
of intimidation.
When he wants something
from you, you don't give,
he tends to favor
home improvement tools
like his trusty hammer.
So maybe Barrios
had a beef with someone
at the center,
Mateo got involved...?
Barrios brought his talents
to Mateo's hand.
It's a theory.
Know what 1821 is?
It's the year of the
Honduran Revolution.
Hmm.
How about this?
What do you say we, uh,
bring the revolution...
to them?
NCIS! Open up!
Federal agents!
You hear that?
Breacher up.
Hey, in here.
Underneath the floor.
Ready?
Yeah.
I'll be back.
Talked to
a few people so far.
All of them arrived
from Honduras.
Been here two days.
Families in
the States paid Barrios
to coyote them into the country.
So if they already paid,
why is Barrios holding
onto them?
Barrios isn't what we'd call
an honest broker.
Wouldn't release them
unless their families
came up with another 2,500.
They ain't had a meal
or a glass of water in days.
Randy.
Dwayne.
How you been?
Good.
Good.
Brody,
meet ICE Agent Randy Wilson.
Nice to meet you.
And you. Called in someone
I could trust.
Lasalle.
Wilson.
Yeah.
Worked more than our share
of cases together
over the years.
What brings y'all
into this mess?
Edgar Barrios.
Prime suspect
in the murder of a sailor.
It's funny you should mention
that name.
I just had a chat
with the Coast Guard
about Barrios.
Couple weeks back,
they stopped a boat
full of immigrants.
Thought Barrios was behind it,
but nothing actionable.
Good.
We can take him down together.
Come on.
Let's start
with...
how did they bring you
into the country?
“They packed us into a boat.
There was no room
to even move your legs”"
I was so sick.
I just...
closed my eyes and pray.
“When the boat landed
it was the middle of the night”.
“They put us in an old van.”
“Then they drove us
to the house.”
Did you have any sense
where the boat came ashore?
Grand... Isla?
“There was a sign in the road.
Grand Isle.”
What happened here?
“That man, he hit me.”
“A hammer.”
You wish
you could help them all.
And maybe some we can.
A few will probably get to stay
with their families,
especially if they qualify
for asylum status.
And the rest?
They'll go through
deportation hearings.
Sad truth is, most will be
returned to Honduras.
Yeah.
After all they've
been through,
risking their lives.
Believe me, I get it.
After 20 years, you'd think
I could say I was used to it.
Yeah.
Listen, something unrelated
I wanted to mention.
ICE started tracking
the American militia movement.
They've been involved in some
hate crimes against immigrants.
Your name popped up.
I hear they put a...
Bounty on my head?
75,000.
Huh, used to be 50.
I'm getting popular.
I just want to make sure
you're watching your six, yeah?
Always am.
All right. See you.
Thanks.
So...
no one knows
where to find Barrios.
And we still don't know
what Petty Officer Ortega's
connection to this is.
May have something
on that front.
The woman I was speaking to
has a daughter
who frequents the Nunez Center--
Paula Castillo.
Apparently, she paid Barrios
to get her mother over.
I think she's one of the folks
that Petty Officer Ortega
helped.
Yep.
Right, so maybe he found out
about the coyote network
through Paula Castillo.
And Barrios killed him
before he could expose it.
Now all we have to do is find
the son of a bitch.
So I've stumbled
upon a significant discovery.
I was trying to make
Pride's profile go online,
but I couldn't 'cause--
oh, wait, look!
He already has one!
He beat us to the punch.
I mean, I'm kind of glad
he getting his groove back,
but you'd think
I'd have known before you.
What? Why's that?
It's strictly a pheromone thing.
I-I kind of got a sixth sense
for when people
are getting it on.
A pheromone thing?
What does that make you,
like, the Booty Whisperer?
No, no, no, no, no.
That's... What are you...
Hey!
Doesn't anyone around here
knock anymore?
That's...
I wasn't doing anything.
I'm gonna make
an executive decision here
and end this conversation.
Love y'a...
Okay, as far
as work-related matters,
we've determined the cause
of the petty officer's
septicemia.
Yeah, it's
meningococcal meningitis.
It's a rare
and serious infection.
Along with septicemia,
it causes the membrane
which covers the brain
and spinal cord
to become inflamed.
Yeah, but here's the kicker.
There are six
different variations
of the bacteria.
Mateo was infected
with Group W-135.
But W-135 is almost unheard of
in the United States.
Where is it common?
Well, among a few places,
Southern Africa,
Central America...
Mateo never left the country.
So he'd have to be
in contact with someone
who'd just been
in one of those regions.
Likely, yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Think he knows
what we've been doing?
Why don't you ask
the Booty Whisperer?
All right, I don't think we
should latch onto that nickname.
Okay? 'Cause it's gonna go
right to his head.
The Booty Whisperer, huh?
The booty what?
I see word travel
fast around here.
Just so you know,
I didn't coin the phrase.
Kinda rolls off the tongue,
doesn't it?
Booty Whisperer...
In other news...
I tracked down a security cam by
Grand Isle Port.
This is where
the immigrants came in.
This was taken
the night they got here.
They said they came in
the middle of the night,
and they were
picked up by an old van.
This is 2:00 a.m.
and that's a hunk of junk.
Sounds like BOLO time.
I'm on it.
Thank you.
Talking with a doctor who's
treating the immigrants.
One of them tested
positive for meningitis.
Are the rest of 'em
getting antibiotics?
As well as anyone who had
prolonged contact with him.
Which sounds like
it included Mateo.
Patton?
Yeah.
Okay.
Go back through
Mateo's electronic life.
I want you to scour
everything over.
I'll do what I do.
Brody, Lasalle...
do a search of Mateo's house.
Well, let's slow down a second.
Mateo lived with his mother.
Last thing I want to do
is make her life more difficult.
You'll be respectful.
We're missing
a big piece here, Chris.
Gotta go where
the evidence takes us, right?
What are they even looking for?
I apologize, ma'am.
But we'll be done
as quick as we can.
Look, you said you were
gonna find his killer.
All right? Not get all up
in my mother's business.
Look, I'd be just as upset
if they were searching
my mother's house, but...
you gotta
let us do our job.
Don't!
I think they should go.
We can.
But we're just gonna come
back later with a warrant.
You people!
Ma!
Lasalle...
there's something
you need to see.
Check this out.
The same van that was used to
transport the immigrants.
What are you saying?
Saying that Mateo
wasn't trying to stop Barrios.
He might've been involved.
Mrs. Ortega...
I have to ask you:
The van at your house...
You know if Mateo used it
three nights ago?
That's the night
before he died.
I don't know.
Maybe. Why?
We believe the van...
transported
some illegal immigrants.
Were you home that night?
Yes... but I go to bed early.
I don't keep an eye on Mateo.
You sure
you didn't hear anything?
The van starting,
the garage opening...
I told you...
no.
Then beyond you and Mateo,
anyone else have
access to the van?
Not Victor?
He doesn't have a key.
Listen, your brother...
I know you love him,
but much as you care about him
he wasn't perfect.
I know the feeling.
I've had it myself.
Whatever he did...
he had a good reason.
But you don't know
what that reason is?
'Cause if you do,
you know I can help.
Of course I don't.
I would have told you.
Sorry to have
troubled you.
Thank you.
Mom...
Dwayne...
We got a problem.
It's Mrs. Ortega.
What about her?
That van?
She's the registered owner.
Now, since it was used
in connection with a crime,
it could threaten
her asylum status.
I gotta take her in
for questioning.
Randy... there's no evidence
she was involved.
I got people looking
over my shoulder, Dwayne.
It's a redball case.
I gotta follow procedure.
But once everything
calms down,
then some things can slip
through the cracks.
You understand what I'm saying.
I'm sorry.
Really.
Sorry, son,
but I need to take
your mother in.
It's procedure.
No.
No, no, no. Hell, no.
What are... what are you...
Don't...
Get off me!
Hey, I said get off me!
Guys... guys...
Don't make a scene.
I am sorry.
Don't worry.
That your idea of help?
Niños!
Hey.
What you got there?
Patton found this
on Mateo's Facebook.
When my mom was cooking,
Cade and I used to
have burping contests
to distract her.
Terrible.
We'd get
a can of Coke...
and just belt out
our A-B-C's
as loud as we could.
Yeah, she hated us.
There's a shock.
Here's what I don't get:
why Mateo,
a respected Navy sailor,
is connected
to a guy like Barrios?
And if they're working together
bringing people over...
why does Barrios
turn around and kill him?
That, I don't know.
Doesn't look like we'll
get a chance to ask him.
Lovely place
to spend the evening.
Eh, I'd prefer Sazerac's
at the Roosevelt Hotel,
but what can you do?
So... tell me things.
Workers found Barrios
a few hours ago.
Want you to note
the cutaneous bruising,
the abrasions,
the engorgement of the tissue.
Manual strangulation.
Just like Petty Officer Ortega.
And, just like
the Petty Officer...
fingernail markings.
I'll bet you a penny,
when I get him on the table,
I'll find...
It's the same pattern.
Mm-hmm.
Wade was right.
Same fingernail pattern
for both Mateo and Barrios.
So someone else
strangled both of 'em.
And we're back
to square one.
Well, we know Mateo was involved
in the coyote ring,
so it must be
something do with that.
But we got no idea
why Mateo was involved.
And even less of a clue
why someone would want
to kill him and Barrios.
I mean, do we have
anything else to go on?
Found these in Mateo's drawers.
In a stack of papers.
Series of cash wire transfers
to a bank account in Honduras.
Few hundred dollars every week.
Are we looking at pay-outs
to someone else
in the coyote ring?
Maybe someone
with a motive.
I've put a call in to the bank
to see who owns the account.
Well, let's hope it's
not another dead end.
Hey...
y'all having a party,
ain't nobody call me?
A drink sounds like
a really good idea right now.
Well, I say we stay sober
for the time being,
'cause I got
something that's gonna
lift your spirits
right up.
Special delivery flying in.
What am I
looking at, here?
This is Coast Guard's
patrol routes. I had to go
Dumpster diving through
Mateo's e-trash to find 'em.
Routes for
Grand Isle Port.
That's where the
immigrants came in.
Dated January 16.
The night they arrived.
So if the
routes are where
the immigrants arrived,
was Barrios using
Mateo's Intel
to get the boat in?
Maybe.
But Mateo cared about his work.
And the community.
I mean, something
doesn't make sense.
What we need to do is find
someone else in the 1821s.
They're behind the coyote ring.
They might have some info.
Maybe I can help you with this.
I found a second file
in Mateo's trash.
It's the Coast Guard routes
for the same area,
but this one is dated
January 19-- that's today.
Another shipment
of immigrants.
And a good place
to find an 1821.
Apurante, andale. Vamanos!
Apurate... vamonos, apurante.
Apurante.
U.S. Coast Guard!
Get down on the ground!
NCIS! Get down!
Policía!
Get down. Get down.
Get down. Hands up.
Get down on the ground!
Get down on the ground!
Drop your weapon!
Get down. Get down.
NCIS!
Come out of there!
We got a runner!
I'm on him!
NCIS! Stop!
You stop!
Stay down
on the ground!
Get your hands where I can see 'em!
Okay!
Get 'em up! Keep 'em up!
Okay, okay, don't shoot!
Don't shoot.
Victor?
Pride get anything out of him?
All clammed up.
Won't say word one.
Pride's gonna let him stay
in there and stew for a while.
I mean, what the heck
was Victor doing there, anyway?
Here's another
question for you.
Did you know
anything about
Victor and Mateo
having a sister?
A sister? No.
I called that
bank in Honduras.
Turns out Mateo's wire transfers
were to a Claudia Ortega.
His little sister.
She's 18, lives in Choloma.
Why didn't they
ever mention that?
Here's the other thing
that's strange.
She's missing.
I called her
apartment building;
no one has seen her
in five days.
I'll talk to him.
I know about Claudia.
Does someone have her?
Is she in danger?
Damn it, Victor,
you gotta talk to me!
I got nothing to say.
Look, I'm the only one
that can help you.
I don't know you.
For all I know,
you're working with them.
Is that why you're not
being straight with me?
What?
You think I'm corrupt?
I can't trust anyone.
Well, how far do you think
that's gonna get you?
Hmm?
'Cause whatever's going on,
you can't do it alone.
Look, Victor.
When we met...
...I told you
about my brother.
You and I both know
how important it is
to take care of family.
Edgar Barrios.
His people in Honduras.
They have Claudia.
Why is she involved
with Barrios?
It's not her fault.
Claudia was too young
when we left Honduras.
The journey.
She wouldn't have made it.
We tried to bring her
out the legal way,
but with all the
violence at home now,
my mother decided
that she had to get her out.
So your mom went to Barrios.
She even emptied
Mateo's bank account.
So Mateo went
to Barrios himself.
Demands his money back.
It was a stupid idea.
I told him not to.
Barrios broke his hand.
Not just that.
He decided
he could use Mateo.
Wanted patrol routes.
They kept Claudia.
He told Mateo that
if he helped
just a couple of times,
that he would
bring Claudia over.
I thought maybe Claudia
would be there tonight.
So Mateo trusted Barrios?
Of course not.
Mateo was
a United States sailor.
Then the routes weren't real?
No.
Mateo said the best way
to get Claudia
was to take Barrios down.
He thought that when he went
to go meet the boat
that he would have backup.
It was supposed to be a sting.
Who else was
supposed to be there?
Randy?
Dwayne, what are you doing here?
We need to chat.
Uh, if this is
about Mrs. Ortega,
I only have to hold her
a little while longer.
Like I said, just
until things calm down.
Not about that.
What's going on with you?
Me?
I've always been
straight with you.
All I'm asking is you
do the same with me.
Dwayne, you're gonna
need to talk English.
I know Mateo
came to you for help.
You were supposed
to arrest Barrios.
Are you messing with me?
Listen.
I'm not here to judge.
I can't begin
to understand
what's going on
in your life,
but somehow,
you got in over your head...
and-and Barrios
offered you money...
No! No, Dwayne.
So Mateo didn't come to you
the morning after
the immigrants arrived
to find out what happened
to his backup?
No.
And you never hurt him?
Randy, you were the last person
to see him alive.
And you didn't
tell anyone.
Tell me you have an explanation.
Why would you even think that?
Because Mateo told us.
Made a video, found
it at his house.
He laid it all out.
If he did,
you would've
done something already.
Well, then you'd go to prison.
And you wouldn't
be able to help us
find his sister.
Randy, you and I,
we go way back.
You get Claudia...
home safely,
I'll do everything
in my power to help you.
All right... I'll do it.
I-I just gotta...
Lasalle.
Fancy meeting you here.
You're under arrest.
Keep your hands
where we can see them.
Dwayne?
Dwayne, hear me out.
For old time's sake.
I got him.
I know people in the militia.
I got contacts.
If there's another hit
coming down...
You really think
you can threaten me?
No, no, I-I'm saying
I can find out
if another hit's coming.
I can help you.
Why the hell would I want your
help after all you've done?
Dwayne...
Huh? There's only one decent
thing left for you to do:
Tell us where we can
find Claudia Ortega.
She's a kid, Randy!
She's 18 years old.
She's got a family
waiting for her.
That's her.
Claudia!
Mama!

Think someone forgot
to send me an e-vite.
Hey, Patton's been playing us
some of his old beats.
How did we never know
you were an MC?
Yeah.
'Cause the man's
got a heck of a poker face.
Almost as good as Pride's.
That bill of goods
you sold about Mateo's video?
That was a thing of beauty.
Thank you.
I got to tell you.
There's a lot of things people
don't know about Triple P.
Some may even think
I'm a man of mystery.
Oh.
Some might.
But not everyone.
Hmm?
Want to turn that
off for a second?
My friends...
I am hip to your game.
I had nothing to do with that.
For the record,
I have been
a firm hater
since the very beginning.
I plead the Fifth.
Mm-hmm.
My sources also told me
that you've
happened upon a certain
pre-existing dating profile.
Whoa, you think it was,
uh, Doc Wade
that ratted us out?
I got eyes everywhere,
Christopher.
And I'm gonna tell you all
the same thing I told Laurel
when I found out
she made that profile.
Appreciate your concern.
But I'm doing just fine.
Ooh, look at that.
It's quitting time.
Yeah.
Y'all have a good night now.
- You, too.
- Adios.
Just so you know...
Mm-hmm.
There's a lot of legitimate
hotties on this site.
You might want to take a peek
at who's checking you out.
Let's go,
Booty Whisperer.
I'm just saying.
Booty Whisperer.
