NCIS: New Orleans (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 24 - Sleeping with the Enemy - full transcript
The NCIS team uncovers a mole in the ranks while working with the Department of Homeland Security to locate 900 missing pounds of explosives that pose an imminent threat to New Orleans.
Previously on
NCIS: New Orleans...
Agent Brody.
Agent Russo.
Helping to set up
the new DHS post.
Something imminent.
No. Usual chatter.
Mrs. Judy Brown?
Yes?
Gun!
- Arthur, run!
- Two foreign operatives,
I promise you,
all bets are off.
This red means HMX.
So they were
smuggling in explosives.
Explosive power
to level a city block.
You jeopardized the mission.
Wait you're... our contact.
You know what you have to do.
Yes.
Is the package complete?
Secured and ready
for delivery, yes.
Wait. No! No, no, no...!
What were you doing out there?
Just taking in the view.
But this view's better.
Your phone has been
ringing off the hook.
It's the office.
Guess I better answer.

Mornin', you two.
Stopped by the lumberyard.
Thank you.
Picked up some wood to
cover up the doors and windows
till the glass people come.
I got you, King.
Thank you.
Just saw Roy at the hospital.
He's getting released today.
Well, he should
get a medal too.
He's a brave man, taking a
bullet for Merri like that
when this place got attacked.
Agreed.
Uh, you hire a new bar manager
just in time to become
“Mr. Fix-it” at work.
Someone invaded our home.
Now, we can't
leave it like this.
Brody back?
I haven't seen her.
She's supposed to be
interviewing Judy Brown.
Figure out why her
husband did all this.
Yeah, and figure out the
location of the HMX explosives
they smuggled in the city.
Blast went off at 7:00 am.
ATF contacted us
when they determined
it was high explosives.
Know we've been on the lookout.
Casualties?
Pieces of one.
Place is just used for storage.
Not exactly a high value target.
It wasn't a target,
it's a workshop.
Yeah, I've been going
through the debris.
Found remnants of wiring,
plastic casing, old batteries.
All classic components
in bomb-making.
Now, best guess:
radio-controlled IED
with some sort of
cellular frequency.
How do you know
so much about it?
Before undercover,
ATF trained me as a CES,
Certified Explosives Specialist.
I know what it stands for,
I'm just surprised you're one.
Well, you're not the only one
with secret skills, scuba boy.
If this was
a bomb-making workshop,
what happened?
Could be
an accidental detonation.
It's an occupational hazard
in the bomb biz.
But I won't know till
I get all this on the table.
Stealing Ms. Loretta's
catchphrase.
Well, Doc Wade is gonna need
all her skills
to identify what's left
of this victim.
Was the cause
of the blast the HMX
we've been hunting?
Well, you know, judging by the levels
of nitrogen and carbon
that I've detected,
I'd say it's a safe bet, yeah.
Well, it could be good luck.
Judy and Arthur Brown
smuggled the explosives in
to someone planning an attack
on New Orleans.
He takes himself out.
Yeah, but HMX is one of the more
powerful chemical explosives.
The damage here was done by...
I don't know,
20, maybe 30 pounds.
So there could be close to 1,000
pounds still unaccounted for.
Enough to take out a skyscraper.
Our only link is Judy Brown.
Brody.
Where are you?
What?
Judy Brown is dead.
How?
Cyanide poisoning.
According to Wade,
Judy Brown ingested it.
She was searched at NCIS
and again when she
was processed at DHS.
How'd she get the poison?
Got a list of everyone
who had access to her
in the last 12 hours,
which, of course, includes me.
Didn't notice
anything suspicious.
She would've died within
minutes of ingestion.
Which was 7:00 this morning.
I have an alibi.
We got something.
Pulled traffic and surveillance
cams around the warehouse.
Damn.
I'll put it up
on the other one.
So the truck pulled up
to our crime scene
at about 4:00 in the morning.
Left minutes before
the explosion,
got abandoned on Tchoupitoulas.
ATF found traces of HMX,
but nothing else.
Who are they?
Well, we don't know yet.
South African nationals.
Use your computer?
They've got military training.
They entered the country
with three others,
all in the last month...
all in New Orleans.
You knew about these men
and didn't tell us?
I told you: Homeland's been
monitoring an imminent attack.
You said it was
just “general chatter.”
We all found out yesterday
that Arthur and Judy Brown
have been taking
orders from someone
through encrypted e-mails.
And then there was the
assault on our office.
That would've been another
time to mention these suspects.
We've been watching these guys,
Pride, for weeks.
No suspicious phone calls,
e-mails, or movements.
None of these guys
is the ring leader.
They take orders.
So you have their location.
They're staying at a house
on the Westbank.
Homeland Security Investigations
is gearing up to
take them down now.
We need to be a
part of that raid.
We need zone
coverage here, Pride.
Let DHS handle the raid.
You keep on this
morning's explosion--
it doubles our chances of
finding this ring leader,
and stopping the plot.
I want to know the minute
those men are in custody.
You'll be my first call.
That's a big piece of Intel
he's kept hidden from us.
That's not all he's hidden.
What do you mean?
I can't believe
I'm thinking this.
What, Merri?
Russo may be the ring leader.
This may seem insane, Pride,
but there have been
three mysterious suicides
in as many cases.
Walt Jeffries,
Glenn Franklin,
both tied to the scandal that
took down General Matthews.
Judy Brown smuggled HMX
explosives into New Orleans.
You think they connect?
I don't know, only Russo's been
a key player in all three cases.
So are we.
Yeah, but he's been
feeding us Intel.
Ever since DC, he's always there
with some tidbit.
Always leads to a dead body.
This morning, 7:00 a.m.,
when the bomb went off,
Russo was on his balcony,
talking on a cell phone.
You were with him?
Yes.
And his cell phone was on the
kitchen counter the whole time.
So he's got two phones.
I mean, that could mean
a lot of things.
Something inside me has been
saying “watch out.”
Same voice that told you your
sister's death was suspicious?
I'm inclined to listen.
Saying a high-ranking
Homeland Security agent
is involved in
a terrorist plot...
Why?
Don't know.
But if it's true,
he is the lead investigator
in his own conspiracy,
and he has been playing us all.
And we need evidence.
Just can't go to his bosses
at DHS... on instincts.
I'll get the evidence.
He trusts me.
Thinks he has me fooled.
Whoa, like undercover?
Yeah.
That's a bad idea.
You don't know how
dangerous this guy is.
Plus... you're
personally involved.
That's why it has to be me.
Look, if I'm right,
he has put this city in danger;
he's compromised
other Federal operations;
it's a risk we have to take.
Not we, you.
On his turf.
Okay, so I will stick
close to him at DHS,
where there are 30 other agents.
I'll never be alone with him.
I know it's not perfect,
but it's the best choice
we have.
Okay.
But only to observe, understood?
Get Patton to dig into Russo.
Find any red flags,
any connections
to those missing explosives.
And, hey...
it's off the books.
Till we know more.
Just a theory.
You got it.
I knew there was something
off with Merri this morning.
Of course, Russo was there.
Mm.
She seems to think he's
been corrupted somehow.
And may be right.
I spoke to a friend
in Homeland IG's office.
Been aware of a breach
for a while.
Breach?
They've had Intel compromised,
operations blown.
Have a task force to find
the breach, no suspect.
You mention Russo's name?
Ah, not yet.
Don't have enough proof.
Mm-hmm, so you're taking
on Homeland's problems,
as well as chasing down
missing explosives.
I take on what I'm faced with.
Oh, well,
let's hope I can
lighten the load.
Or at the very least,
confirm Judy Brown was killed
from acute cyanide poisoning.
Found this
in her stomach contents.
Suicide pill?
Someone got it to her
in custody.
Oh, Russo left hours
before she died.
You saying he's innocent?
Not necessarily.
The capsule has
a polymer barrier.
Gastro-resistant.
It means delayed release,
Dwayne.
Russo could've given
that pill to Ms. Brown
hours before her death.
Can you prove he did?
No, stomach acid would've
removed fingerprints
and DNA Russo may
have left behind.
But the same cannot be said
for our unlucky bomb-maker.
There was enough left
for an identification?
Barely.
His name is Charles Anisa,
a Scottish-born
South African national.
Former military.
Just like the five suspects
Russo and DHS are
going after right now.
I don't get it, Loretta.
If Russo's part of the plot,
why lead us right
to his co-conspirators?
Well, the simplest explanation
is always the best place
to start.
Explosion at the warehouse
was an accident.
Russo's just covering
his tracks.
I don't think this explosion
was an accident.
I found traces of a cellular
receiver amongst the debris.
Even found a fragment
of the SIM card.
So the bomb was
detonated remotely.
No question about it.
I'm trying to restore
the SIM card now,
retrieve the data on it,
but most likely
the bomb was set off
by a simple smart phone app.
Brody said Russo had
a second phone with him.
The time the bomb went off.
As in Brody's crush, Russo?
Yeah, she thinks
he's involved in all this,
and I'm starting to agree.
The problem is we
have to find a way to prove it.
Finding the rest of
the HMX would help.
Well, I can't tell you
where it is,
but I might be able to help
with where it's going.
This looks like scrap metal.
High-density
carbon steel drum.
It's used for
hazardous liquids.
I ran an explosives
residue test on it.
I found this:
High levels of HMX.
So the bomb was in a drum.
Exactly.
Then I gave it a thorough
hydrochloric acid cleanse,
like, you know, you do,
and got this.
Looks like a barcode.
Can you read it?
Maybe I can run it through
a recreation program.
Brody's flying blind out there
right now, Sebastian.
We're gonna need
more than maybe.
I thought we were kicking in
the door with HSI.
HSI's taking the front,
we're covering the back.
Thought you wouldn't
mind being alone with me.
I like to be
where the action is.
Are you mad at me or something?
No.
I'm adjusting a
strap on your vest.
Okay, something's
definitely up here.
I'm fine.
Really.
I'm just ready
to go get the bad guys.
Federal Agent!
Drop the weapon now!
Let her go.
Oh, my God...
Drop the weapon.
Whoa, Merri.
I'm on your side, remember?
The other night,
these men break into our house.
Wave guns in our faces.
Put hoods over our heads.
I thought we were dead.
You and your husband?
Garrett.
He was with me at first, but
then they kept us separate.
What did they want?
They never spoke.
They took me to
this house and...
They just kept me locked up.
Is Garrett okay?
We're working on it.
You haven't found him yet?
Not yet, Molly,
but you can help us.
These men are planning
to set off a bomb in the city.
Your husband may have
information they need.
Did Garrett have
a high security job?
Access to sensitive information?
No, he's a riverman.
Your husband's a river pilot?
What is that?
Mississippi's complicated
to navigate--
shifting sandbars, currents...
Rivermen are the ones who get
the ships through.
Bomb's gonna be on the river.
You'll help him,
right? Garrett?
We'll bring him back.
And we'll keep you safe, too.
Okay?
I'm gonna see to it personally.
Yes, sir...
You all right?
Thank you.
Weren't supposed to be
alone with him.
That was the plan.
I didn't have a
choice or time.
Could've been you who got shot.
Instead, he killed another
link to the explosions,
and the attack.
Like he's planned
the whole thing.
All the information
he gives is solid.
Leads us one step closer
to the conspiracy.
He ties up loose ends
just as we get there.
He's playing us.
Maybe the river's
a distraction.
Don't think it is.
Sebastian recovered the barcode
on the explosive debris
from this morning.
Supposed to be
part of a shipment
of 30 fuel barrels headed
for the Port of New Orleans.
We tracked the shipment
to the dock,
but the barrels
are already gone.
No record of what vessel
they've been loaded on,
but close to
1,000 pounds of HMX
is already on the water.
This attack is gonna be soon.
Pride.
DC wants a report.
Contact CGIS Agent Swanson,
coordinate with Coast Guard,
find that boat.
Brody, Russo...
We've got 1,000 pounds
of HMX on the Mississippi
River, Deputy Secretary.
Suspects took a
river pilot hostage.
Means they can detonate the bomb
anywhere along the Mississippi.
The situation is critical.
Can you estimate
damage assessment?
Bomb of this size,
set off at any number of
strategic points on the river,
casualties start
in the hundreds.
Plus, environmental effects
to the ground water
and surrounding communities.
Not to mention shutting down
a main economic
artery to the city.
It's a conservative estimate.
Without General Matthews
to run the division,
this falls on you, John.
It's what I'm trained for.
You have operational control
of all Law Enforcement
assets in the area.
Yes, sir.
I'd like to note that
Special Agent Pride and his
team have been invaluable.
I want them in the field
as my eyes and ears.
Whatever you need, John.
I'm counting on you.
I won't let you down, sir.
I mean that.
Relying on you both.
No one knows this city better.
Appreciate the confidence.
Pride...
gotta take this.
Yeah.
Russo's upstairs making calls.
Don't have much time.
Fine, 'cause I don't
have much to say.
I did a deep dive
in Russo's past.
Makes a Boy Scout look corrupt.
Columbia University,
Air Force,
followed by Harvard Law.
Yeah, then, instead of
taking his pick of jobs
in DC in the private sector,
he goes Peace Corps
for two years.
No hidden accounts, no alias,
no Dark Web profile.
He's on the up and up.
He's anything but.
Playing the long game.
Worked his way through DHS
to be two man in his division.
Made sure there
was no number one.
That's why he set up
General Matthews.
To keep the post open,
to take control
of the investigation
into his own plot.
Then who's he working for,
terrorists?
Whoever it is, hired
South African mercenaries,
has access to a submarine,
military-grade HMX--
could be an enemy state.
I guess we'll have to
figure it out as we go.
Getting good at improvising
these days, huh?
We may know one thing
that might help.
All right, well,
I was able to confirm that
this morning's bomb
was set off by a cell phone.
I even tracked the signal,
but I couldn't pull any data.
Phone is encrypted.
Russo's second phone?
Can't be sure
unless we examine it.
Well, Russo's not letting
that phone out of his sight.
Doesn't have to.
We just need to clone it.
Won't know we did it
until you slap him in cuffs.
Which means that you have to
get close to him
without him getting suspicious.
It's not a good idea.
I can do it.
If it means stopping
the attack, I can do it.
Puts you back
in the line of fire.
He may be on to you already.
Do we have a choice?
We have no authority
to access Russo's phone.
Just theories.
If we do it and fail,
it's not only losing our jobs,
we could go to prison.
All right.
Give Brody whatever she needs
to clone that phone.
We're looking for a boat
filled with 1,000 pounds of HMX.
Well, you came
to the right place.
Nerve center
of all traffic on the river.
What's it do?
Puts eyes on any ship, boat,
or barge on the Mississippi.
Any idea what class vessel
we're looking for?
Tug, river, cargo?
Don't know.
All we can say is,
we think it left the port
late this morning.
Yeah, it's like a
needle in a haystack.
Well, consider me
your pitchfork.
The Captain of the
Port ordered a stop
on all river traffic.
It's like a giant
game of red rover.
You break it,
you buy it, Lasalle.
We got a winner.
The Heritage Star,
tugboat out of Natchez.
Not responding
to the COTP order.
It could be a miscommunication.
Or it could be our bomb.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is the Coast Guard
Sector New Orleans
on channel 16, over.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is United States
Coast Guard on channel 16.
You're in violation of
a Captain of the Port Order.
Come to all stop now
and hold your position.
Don't answer!
Stay on course!
Heritage Star,
this is your final warning.
Come to all stop immediately.
They're not responding.
MSST's are ready to roll.
The 87's gonna be en route
to block the Heritage Star
upriver.
Air Station's on scene in ten.
We need to go with MSST
and board the Heritage Star.
Agent Russo already cleared it.
We got room on
the small boats for two.
I'm gonna coordinate
from the cutter.
Russo already cleared it?
It means he wants us
on the Heritage Star.
You think it's a trap?
Either way, we got to do it.
We got a crew of ten
on that tug.
All right, I'm with you, King.
She said there's
only room for two.
Got to take Sonja.
She's got the
explosives experience.
Well, I don't think that's a good idea.
Excuse me?
Russo doesn't expect us
to return.
All right?
It's too risky.
For me, but not for you?
Well, you know what I mean.
I'm sorry, I don't.
This is my job
as much as yours, Lasalle.
Okay, all right, look,
we don't have time to argue.
Russo's got a plan here.
We still need to figure it out
before that bomb goes off.
You go on the cutter
with Swanson,
and be our eyes.
That leaves Brody
alone with Russo.
Yeah, well, she'll
get the evidence,
contact DHS,
call in the cavalry.
It's not perfect, Chris.
Best we got.
Okay, Sebastian.
Uh, this doesn't look like much.
It's got special software
that'll detect, decrypt,
and download
every byte of data
on Russo's phone.
Great, what do I have to do?
Just get close.
I'm talking like
Arrid Extra Dry close.
There's not a lot of scenarios
where that kind of
invasion of personal space
is going to be
socially acceptable, okay?
Just-- trust me, I know.
There was one time in grad
school where I went to a par--
I've got it covered, Sebastian.
I just hate that he
used you, you know?
The only thing I hate more
is that you got to go
back up there and
pretend like he didn't.
I'll be okay.
Oh, hey, wait, wait, wait.
Take this, uh,
in case of emergency.
Am I supposed to write for help?
It's not a pen, it's a stun gun.
You just click the top,
it packs 200,000 volts.
You know I'm armed, right?
Oh, yeah.
So is Russo.
I'll be fine.
The Heritage Star's
about a mile downriver,
moving at 14 knots.
You got eyes on them?
No visual yet,
but we put a drone in the air
and we hacked into
the Heritage Star's
security cameras.
We got two hostiles
on the bridge...
And that's Garrett Layne,
our kidnapped
river boat pilot.
Another hostile
on the main deck,
fourth is below deck.
It's our South African suspects
we've been looking for.
Got assault rifles, sidearms.
That guy looks like
he might have grenades.
Detonator on any
of these hostiles?
Not that we've noticed.
All right, there's no
room for error here.
All CG Vessels, this is CAPCON.
Boarding team en route.
Air Station is two minutes out.
Hi.
Hi.
Can we talk for a second?
Of course. About what?
I'm worried, John.
This interdiction,
if anything goes wrong,
my whole team could be killed.
I could lose them all
and I don't think
I can handle that.
Hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me:
it's gonna be okay.
We've got the Coast Guard
and an army of
federal agents on our side.
I swear to you,
I won't let anything go wrong.
Okay.
Better get back out there.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Anytime.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is the Coast Guard
on channel 16.
Stop your engines,
drop your weapons,
heave to, and prepare
to be boarded.
Air Station coming in
for diversion.
Fire warning shots now.
Agent Pride,
you're clear to approach
at the starboard aft.
Air Station,
another burst of fire.
We'll take the bridge.
Get down below deck,
find the fourth hijacker.
Drop your weapon!
Now!
Put your hands
behind your head.
Grab the hostages.
Where is the detonator?
We're pinned down, Chris.
Hostiles in the aft section
of the bridge.
Port side.
Freeze!
Bridge secure.
Garrett Layne,
I'm Special Agent
Dwayne Pride, NCIS.
You need to stop
this boat right now.
No, sir.
I can't.
Pride...
the fourth hijacker
is in custody,
and I found the explosives,
but no sign of the detonator.
Think we just found it.
Detonator's connected
to the GPS, Chris.
If the tug's diverted
from its heading,
or slows, bomb goes off.
Special Agent Percy's
trying to defuse it.
- Patton.
- Cracked the SIM card
on Russo's phone.
We hit the mother lode.
The data files confirm
that he detonated the
warehouse bomb this morning.
Does he have the capability
of setting off the bomb
on that tug boat?
I'm afraid so.
But listen, that's not all.
Russo's been in contact
with one of the hijackers
all day.
He's pulling all the strings.
- I still have no idea why.
- We might.
Russo's been receiving
encrypted e-mails.
We traced it back to server
in Bogota, Colombia.
Yeah, sophisticated
encryption,
military equipment,
hired mercenaries.
I mean, I know that we were
thinking enemy state.
Yeah, but it could be
the cartels.
Why would they
blow the river?
E-mails indicate their target
to be the Coast Guard itself.
No idea why.
Those Coast Guard boats are
blocking the river
directly under the
Crescent City Connection.
That bomb goes off, it takes out
the boats and the bridge.
You tell Pride now.
I'm detaining Russo.
Commander!
NCIS has evidence that
this ship is the target
and the Crescent City
Connection.
You must take evasive action.
Not that simple. I have orders.
Plus a mission to protect
the river from that tugboat.
Well, your orders came
from the person
who set this whole attack up.
What's that supposed to mean?
Look, sir, you have to listen.
If you don't move
out of my way,
I'll have you removed.
Swanson,
you must have heard
about the breach at DHS.
Task force is looking
for the mole.
I know, but how would you know
anything about that?
I have the evidence
right here.
Commander...
Commander, listen, damn it.
Special Agent Swanson,
escort Special Agent Lasalle
below deck.
Look, the Heritage Star
is rigged to explode
if it's taken
off course, all right?
And it will definitely explode
if it gets close enough
to us.
That bridge goes down,
takes out God knows
how many innocents.
Then I'll have the skipper fire
on that tugboat.
Look, we still have
agents on that boat.
And at least
one hostage.
All right, my people is working
on disarming the bomb.
We just need more time.
He's right.
We need your help here.
Okay, you got three minutes.
And at that point, anybody that
can get off the boat should.
We gotta protect
that bridge.
I'll contact DHS,
make sure Russo gets dealt with.
Pride, Percy...
...I bought you enough time
to disarm the bomb.
I'll need about a week.
Yeah, well,
you got three minutes.
Gonna get you
off the boat, Garrett.
I can't let go
of the controls.
Yeah. Yes, you can.
'Cause I'm gonna
switch places with you.
Crazy, huh?
But that's what's happening.
It's not like driving a car.
My uncle was a riverman.
I know my way around the helm.
We're gonna take it slow.
Easy-- just one hand,
and then the other.
No, no, I-I just...
I just need to...
I promised your wife
I'd get you home safely.
Don't want
to make me a liar, do you?
Huh?
Okay...
Easy.
Just let it go.
There you go. Okay.
Take the other one off.
I got it.
Good job.
Everybody off.
Go. Go. That's an order.
I got the controls, Chris.
Just like a Kingfisher.
You're too clever, Merri.
That mean you're
surrendering?
That means
today's gonna end badly for you
and your team.
Soon as that boat
gets close enough...
You're doing all this...
Sit down.
...for drug dealers?
How much could they possibly be
paying you
to betray your country?
You got me wrong!
I'm a patriot.
Just not for your side.
I don't understand, John.
Don't you want to matter, Merri?
Be more than just a cog.
They saw the potential in me.
More than any law firm,
or government agency,
to be exceptional;
to matter.
By blowing up some boats?
Taking out a bridge?
How many people have
we lost...
to the Coast Guard,
to the military.
I'm making a statement.
It's petty, John.
Don't be hurt.
I enjoyed our
time together.
I really like you.
I liked you, too.
Sonja,
we're running out of time.
I'm getting there, okay?
One of these wires leads
to the cellular detonator.
Find that, and I'll
diffuse the bomb.
Got the cutter in view.
Just past the bridge.
Out of time here,
Special Agent.
Gunners, in position.
Get Agent Percy
off that boat.
What about Pride?
You want to lose them both?
Sonja...
that's it. Time's up.
Stop talking!
All right, Sonja...
it's over.
Time to go. Now.
Get out of here!
It's time to go!
Sonja...
get out of here! Now!
Okay.
One more second.
Gunners ready...
Don't move.
You're under arrest.
It's over, John.
Coming about.
Bomb is diffused.
Call 'em off the strike.
I repeat: bomb is diffused,
call off the strike.
Gunner! Stand down! Stand down!
Open the door! Open up!
Whatcha got?
DHS cleared Brody,
and Garrett Layne
reunited with his wife,
so all in all,
we should be celebrating.
Yes, we should.
How'd it go with DC?
Far as they're concerned,
without us,
yesterday would have
been catastrophic.
I feel like there's
a big "but" coming.
Russo got too close
to pulling off his mission
from inside.
Which means...
Full review
of the entire affair.
All right? From General Matthews
to yesterday.
And until the review's complete,
we are on administrative leave.
Two weeks.
That sounds like
a punishment.
It's a break.
Which we need.
Agent Hardy's gonna
cover our cases.
We'll take some R&R.
Well, I'll let Percy know.
You're going to ask
me how I'm doing.
And you're gonna
tell me you're fine.
No. But I will be.
I just need to
sort this all out.
I can't believe I
let Russo get close.
You didn't let Russo get close.
You stopped him.
I was lucky.
You were smart.
Listened to that voice
inside you.
You should do it more often.
Well, right now,
that voice is saying,
"Go to a secluded beach."
I'll clear my mind.
It's 5:00 somewhere.
Pride says we're on
administrative leave.
Two week vacation.
Oh, wow.
You don't have
to tell me twice.
I'll see you later.
Yo, Percy.
You just going to leave?
Oh, I didn't realize
I needed to check in with you.
Well, I thought
you might want to talk.
Oh, "work husband" means
your responsibilities
end after work.
See ya later.
Well, you almost
died yesterday.
Yeah, and you almost died
a few weeks ago.
But we lived.
I go now.
Did I offend you somehow?
No. But you need
to stop worrying about me.
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
It means don't treat me
different from everyone else.
It especially means
don't try to stop me
from taking dangerous jobs.
Don't get soft on me.
I'm not soft.
I care about you, you idiot.
Well, stop, 'cause...
I-I can't take it on.
I'm glad you didn't die.
You're an ass.
Yeah. I know.
All right. Cool.
I'll see you later.
And I'll see you soon.

Right.
Two weeks to work at the bar.
No, ma'am. I'm leaving the bar
in Buckley's capable hands.
I promise I won't burn it down.
Appreciate that.

NCIS: New Orleans...
Agent Brody.
Agent Russo.
Helping to set up
the new DHS post.
Something imminent.
No. Usual chatter.
Mrs. Judy Brown?
Yes?
Gun!
- Arthur, run!
- Two foreign operatives,
I promise you,
all bets are off.
This red means HMX.
So they were
smuggling in explosives.
Explosive power
to level a city block.
You jeopardized the mission.
Wait you're... our contact.
You know what you have to do.
Yes.
Is the package complete?
Secured and ready
for delivery, yes.
Wait. No! No, no, no...!

Thank you.
Just saw Roy at the hospital.
He's getting released today.
Well, he should
get a medal too.
He's a brave man, taking a
bullet for Merri like that
when this place got attacked.
Agreed.
Uh, you hire a new bar manager
just in time to become
“Mr. Fix-it” at work.
Someone invaded our home.
Now, we can't
leave it like this.
Brody back?
I haven't seen her.
She's supposed to be
interviewing Judy Brown.
Figure out why her
husband did all this.
Yeah, and figure out the
location of the HMX explosives
they smuggled in the city.
Blast went off at 7:00 am.
ATF contacted us
when they determined
it was high explosives.
Know we've been on the lookout.
Casualties?
Pieces of one.
Place is just used for storage.
Not exactly a high value target.
It wasn't a target,
it's a workshop.
Yeah, I've been going
through the debris.
Found remnants of wiring,
plastic casing, old batteries.
All classic components
in bomb-making.
Now, best guess:
radio-controlled IED
with some sort of
cellular frequency.
How do you know
so much about it?
Before undercover,
ATF trained me as a CES,
Certified Explosives Specialist.
I know what it stands for,
I'm just surprised you're one.
Well, you're not the only one
with secret skills, scuba boy.
If this was
a bomb-making workshop,
what happened?
Could be
an accidental detonation.
It's an occupational hazard
in the bomb biz.
But I won't know till
I get all this on the table.
Stealing Ms. Loretta's
catchphrase.
Well, Doc Wade is gonna need
all her skills
to identify what's left
of this victim.
Was the cause
of the blast the HMX
we've been hunting?
Well, you know, judging by the levels
of nitrogen and carbon
that I've detected,
I'd say it's a safe bet, yeah.
Well, it could be good luck.
Judy and Arthur Brown
smuggled the explosives in
to someone planning an attack
on New Orleans.
He takes himself out.
Yeah, but HMX is one of the more
powerful chemical explosives.
The damage here was done by...
I don't know,
20, maybe 30 pounds.
So there could be close to 1,000
pounds still unaccounted for.
Enough to take out a skyscraper.
Our only link is Judy Brown.
Brody.
Where are you?
What?
Judy Brown is dead.
How?
Cyanide poisoning.
According to Wade,
Judy Brown ingested it.
She was searched at NCIS
and again when she
was processed at DHS.
How'd she get the poison?
Got a list of everyone
who had access to her
in the last 12 hours,
which, of course, includes me.
Didn't notice
anything suspicious.
She would've died within
minutes of ingestion.
Which was 7:00 this morning.
I have an alibi.
We got something.
Pulled traffic and surveillance
cams around the warehouse.
Damn.
I'll put it up
on the other one.
So the truck pulled up
to our crime scene
at about 4:00 in the morning.
Left minutes before
the explosion,
got abandoned on Tchoupitoulas.
ATF found traces of HMX,
but nothing else.
Who are they?
Well, we don't know yet.
South African nationals.
Use your computer?
They've got military training.
They entered the country
with three others,
all in the last month...
all in New Orleans.
You knew about these men
and didn't tell us?
I told you: Homeland's been
monitoring an imminent attack.
You said it was
just “general chatter.”
We all found out yesterday
that Arthur and Judy Brown
have been taking
orders from someone
through encrypted e-mails.
And then there was the
assault on our office.
That would've been another
time to mention these suspects.
We've been watching these guys,
Pride, for weeks.
No suspicious phone calls,
e-mails, or movements.
None of these guys
is the ring leader.
They take orders.
So you have their location.
They're staying at a house
on the Westbank.
Homeland Security Investigations
is gearing up to
take them down now.
We need to be a
part of that raid.
We need zone
coverage here, Pride.
Let DHS handle the raid.
You keep on this
morning's explosion--
it doubles our chances of
finding this ring leader,
and stopping the plot.
I want to know the minute
those men are in custody.
You'll be my first call.
That's a big piece of Intel
he's kept hidden from us.
That's not all he's hidden.
What do you mean?
I can't believe
I'm thinking this.
What, Merri?
Russo may be the ring leader.
This may seem insane, Pride,
but there have been
three mysterious suicides
in as many cases.
Walt Jeffries,
Glenn Franklin,
both tied to the scandal that
took down General Matthews.
Judy Brown smuggled HMX
explosives into New Orleans.
You think they connect?
I don't know, only Russo's been
a key player in all three cases.
So are we.
Yeah, but he's been
feeding us Intel.
Ever since DC, he's always there
with some tidbit.
Always leads to a dead body.
This morning, 7:00 a.m.,
when the bomb went off,
Russo was on his balcony,
talking on a cell phone.
You were with him?
Yes.
And his cell phone was on the
kitchen counter the whole time.
So he's got two phones.
I mean, that could mean
a lot of things.
Something inside me has been
saying “watch out.”
Same voice that told you your
sister's death was suspicious?
I'm inclined to listen.
Saying a high-ranking
Homeland Security agent
is involved in
a terrorist plot...
Why?
Don't know.
But if it's true,
he is the lead investigator
in his own conspiracy,
and he has been playing us all.
And we need evidence.
Just can't go to his bosses
at DHS... on instincts.
I'll get the evidence.
He trusts me.
Thinks he has me fooled.
Whoa, like undercover?
Yeah.
That's a bad idea.
You don't know how
dangerous this guy is.
Plus... you're
personally involved.
That's why it has to be me.
Look, if I'm right,
he has put this city in danger;
he's compromised
other Federal operations;
it's a risk we have to take.
Not we, you.
On his turf.
Okay, so I will stick
close to him at DHS,
where there are 30 other agents.
I'll never be alone with him.
I know it's not perfect,
but it's the best choice
we have.
Okay.
But only to observe, understood?
Get Patton to dig into Russo.
Find any red flags,
any connections
to those missing explosives.
And, hey...
it's off the books.
Till we know more.
Just a theory.
You got it.
I knew there was something
off with Merri this morning.
Of course, Russo was there.
Mm.
She seems to think he's
been corrupted somehow.
And may be right.
I spoke to a friend
in Homeland IG's office.
Been aware of a breach
for a while.
Breach?
They've had Intel compromised,
operations blown.
Have a task force to find
the breach, no suspect.
You mention Russo's name?
Ah, not yet.
Don't have enough proof.
Mm-hmm, so you're taking
on Homeland's problems,
as well as chasing down
missing explosives.
I take on what I'm faced with.
Oh, well,
let's hope I can
lighten the load.
Or at the very least,
confirm Judy Brown was killed
from acute cyanide poisoning.
Found this
in her stomach contents.
Suicide pill?
Someone got it to her
in custody.
Oh, Russo left hours
before she died.
You saying he's innocent?
Not necessarily.
The capsule has
a polymer barrier.
Gastro-resistant.
It means delayed release,
Dwayne.
Russo could've given
that pill to Ms. Brown
hours before her death.
Can you prove he did?
No, stomach acid would've
removed fingerprints
and DNA Russo may
have left behind.
But the same cannot be said
for our unlucky bomb-maker.
There was enough left
for an identification?
Barely.
His name is Charles Anisa,
a Scottish-born
South African national.
Former military.
Just like the five suspects
Russo and DHS are
going after right now.
I don't get it, Loretta.
If Russo's part of the plot,
why lead us right
to his co-conspirators?
Well, the simplest explanation
is always the best place
to start.
Explosion at the warehouse
was an accident.
Russo's just covering
his tracks.
I don't think this explosion
was an accident.
I found traces of a cellular
receiver amongst the debris.
Even found a fragment
of the SIM card.
So the bomb was
detonated remotely.
No question about it.
I'm trying to restore
the SIM card now,
retrieve the data on it,
but most likely
the bomb was set off
by a simple smart phone app.
Brody said Russo had
a second phone with him.
The time the bomb went off.
As in Brody's crush, Russo?
Yeah, she thinks
he's involved in all this,
and I'm starting to agree.
The problem is we
have to find a way to prove it.
Finding the rest of
the HMX would help.
Well, I can't tell you
where it is,
but I might be able to help
with where it's going.
This looks like scrap metal.
High-density
carbon steel drum.
It's used for
hazardous liquids.
I ran an explosives
residue test on it.
I found this:
High levels of HMX.
So the bomb was in a drum.
Exactly.
Then I gave it a thorough
hydrochloric acid cleanse,
like, you know, you do,
and got this.
Looks like a barcode.
Can you read it?
Maybe I can run it through
a recreation program.
Brody's flying blind out there
right now, Sebastian.
We're gonna need
more than maybe.
I thought we were kicking in
the door with HSI.
HSI's taking the front,
we're covering the back.
Thought you wouldn't
mind being alone with me.
I like to be
where the action is.
Are you mad at me or something?
No.
I'm adjusting a
strap on your vest.
Okay, something's
definitely up here.
I'm fine.
Really.
I'm just ready
to go get the bad guys.
Federal Agent!
Drop the weapon now!
Let her go.
Oh, my God...
Drop the weapon.
Whoa, Merri.
I'm on your side, remember?
The other night,
these men break into our house.
Wave guns in our faces.
Put hoods over our heads.
I thought we were dead.
You and your husband?
Garrett.
He was with me at first, but
then they kept us separate.
What did they want?
They never spoke.
They took me to
this house and...
They just kept me locked up.
Is Garrett okay?
We're working on it.
You haven't found him yet?
Not yet, Molly,
but you can help us.
These men are planning
to set off a bomb in the city.
Your husband may have
information they need.
Did Garrett have
a high security job?
Access to sensitive information?
No, he's a riverman.
Your husband's a river pilot?
What is that?
Mississippi's complicated
to navigate--
shifting sandbars, currents...
Rivermen are the ones who get
the ships through.
Bomb's gonna be on the river.
You'll help him,
right? Garrett?
We'll bring him back.
And we'll keep you safe, too.
Okay?
I'm gonna see to it personally.
Yes, sir...
You all right?
Thank you.
Weren't supposed to be
alone with him.
That was the plan.
I didn't have a
choice or time.
Could've been you who got shot.
Instead, he killed another
link to the explosions,
and the attack.
Like he's planned
the whole thing.
All the information
he gives is solid.
Leads us one step closer
to the conspiracy.
He ties up loose ends
just as we get there.
He's playing us.
Maybe the river's
a distraction.
Don't think it is.
Sebastian recovered the barcode
on the explosive debris
from this morning.
Supposed to be
part of a shipment
of 30 fuel barrels headed
for the Port of New Orleans.
We tracked the shipment
to the dock,
but the barrels
are already gone.
No record of what vessel
they've been loaded on,
but close to
1,000 pounds of HMX
is already on the water.
This attack is gonna be soon.
Pride.
DC wants a report.
Contact CGIS Agent Swanson,
coordinate with Coast Guard,
find that boat.
Brody, Russo...
We've got 1,000 pounds
of HMX on the Mississippi
River, Deputy Secretary.
Suspects took a
river pilot hostage.
Means they can detonate the bomb
anywhere along the Mississippi.
The situation is critical.
Can you estimate
damage assessment?
Bomb of this size,
set off at any number of
strategic points on the river,
casualties start
in the hundreds.
Plus, environmental effects
to the ground water
and surrounding communities.
Not to mention shutting down
a main economic
artery to the city.
It's a conservative estimate.
Without General Matthews
to run the division,
this falls on you, John.
It's what I'm trained for.
You have operational control
of all Law Enforcement
assets in the area.
Yes, sir.
I'd like to note that
Special Agent Pride and his
team have been invaluable.
I want them in the field
as my eyes and ears.
Whatever you need, John.
I'm counting on you.
I won't let you down, sir.
I mean that.
Relying on you both.
No one knows this city better.
Appreciate the confidence.
Pride...
gotta take this.
Yeah.
Russo's upstairs making calls.
Don't have much time.
Fine, 'cause I don't
have much to say.
I did a deep dive
in Russo's past.
Makes a Boy Scout look corrupt.
Columbia University,
Air Force,
followed by Harvard Law.
Yeah, then, instead of
taking his pick of jobs
in DC in the private sector,
he goes Peace Corps
for two years.
No hidden accounts, no alias,
no Dark Web profile.
He's on the up and up.
He's anything but.
Playing the long game.
Worked his way through DHS
to be two man in his division.
Made sure there
was no number one.
That's why he set up
General Matthews.
To keep the post open,
to take control
of the investigation
into his own plot.
Then who's he working for,
terrorists?
Whoever it is, hired
South African mercenaries,
has access to a submarine,
military-grade HMX--
could be an enemy state.
I guess we'll have to
figure it out as we go.
Getting good at improvising
these days, huh?
We may know one thing
that might help.
All right, well,
I was able to confirm that
this morning's bomb
was set off by a cell phone.
I even tracked the signal,
but I couldn't pull any data.
Phone is encrypted.
Russo's second phone?
Can't be sure
unless we examine it.
Well, Russo's not letting
that phone out of his sight.
Doesn't have to.
We just need to clone it.
Won't know we did it
until you slap him in cuffs.
Which means that you have to
get close to him
without him getting suspicious.
It's not a good idea.
I can do it.
If it means stopping
the attack, I can do it.
Puts you back
in the line of fire.
He may be on to you already.
Do we have a choice?
We have no authority
to access Russo's phone.
Just theories.
If we do it and fail,
it's not only losing our jobs,
we could go to prison.
All right.
Give Brody whatever she needs
to clone that phone.
We're looking for a boat
filled with 1,000 pounds of HMX.
Well, you came
to the right place.
Nerve center
of all traffic on the river.
What's it do?
Puts eyes on any ship, boat,
or barge on the Mississippi.
Any idea what class vessel
we're looking for?
Tug, river, cargo?
Don't know.
All we can say is,
we think it left the port
late this morning.
Yeah, it's like a
needle in a haystack.
Well, consider me
your pitchfork.
The Captain of the
Port ordered a stop
on all river traffic.
It's like a giant
game of red rover.
You break it,
you buy it, Lasalle.
We got a winner.
The Heritage Star,
tugboat out of Natchez.
Not responding
to the COTP order.
It could be a miscommunication.
Or it could be our bomb.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is the Coast Guard
Sector New Orleans
on channel 16, over.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is United States
Coast Guard on channel 16.
You're in violation of
a Captain of the Port Order.
Come to all stop now
and hold your position.
Don't answer!
Stay on course!
Heritage Star,
this is your final warning.
Come to all stop immediately.
They're not responding.
MSST's are ready to roll.
The 87's gonna be en route
to block the Heritage Star
upriver.
Air Station's on scene in ten.
We need to go with MSST
and board the Heritage Star.
Agent Russo already cleared it.
We got room on
the small boats for two.
I'm gonna coordinate
from the cutter.
Russo already cleared it?
It means he wants us
on the Heritage Star.
You think it's a trap?
Either way, we got to do it.
We got a crew of ten
on that tug.
All right, I'm with you, King.
She said there's
only room for two.
Got to take Sonja.
She's got the
explosives experience.
Well, I don't think that's a good idea.
Excuse me?
Russo doesn't expect us
to return.
All right?
It's too risky.
For me, but not for you?
Well, you know what I mean.
I'm sorry, I don't.
This is my job
as much as yours, Lasalle.
Okay, all right, look,
we don't have time to argue.
Russo's got a plan here.
We still need to figure it out
before that bomb goes off.
You go on the cutter
with Swanson,
and be our eyes.
That leaves Brody
alone with Russo.
Yeah, well, she'll
get the evidence,
contact DHS,
call in the cavalry.
It's not perfect, Chris.
Best we got.
Okay, Sebastian.
Uh, this doesn't look like much.
It's got special software
that'll detect, decrypt,
and download
every byte of data
on Russo's phone.
Great, what do I have to do?
Just get close.
I'm talking like
Arrid Extra Dry close.
There's not a lot of scenarios
where that kind of
invasion of personal space
is going to be
socially acceptable, okay?
Just-- trust me, I know.
There was one time in grad
school where I went to a par--
I've got it covered, Sebastian.
I just hate that he
used you, you know?
The only thing I hate more
is that you got to go
back up there and
pretend like he didn't.
I'll be okay.
Oh, hey, wait, wait, wait.
Take this, uh,
in case of emergency.
Am I supposed to write for help?
It's not a pen, it's a stun gun.
You just click the top,
it packs 200,000 volts.
You know I'm armed, right?
Oh, yeah.
So is Russo.
I'll be fine.
The Heritage Star's
about a mile downriver,
moving at 14 knots.
You got eyes on them?
No visual yet,
but we put a drone in the air
and we hacked into
the Heritage Star's
security cameras.
We got two hostiles
on the bridge...
And that's Garrett Layne,
our kidnapped
river boat pilot.
Another hostile
on the main deck,
fourth is below deck.
It's our South African suspects
we've been looking for.
Got assault rifles, sidearms.
That guy looks like
he might have grenades.
Detonator on any
of these hostiles?
Not that we've noticed.
All right, there's no
room for error here.
All CG Vessels, this is CAPCON.
Boarding team en route.
Air Station is two minutes out.
Hi.
Hi.
Can we talk for a second?
Of course. About what?
I'm worried, John.
This interdiction,
if anything goes wrong,
my whole team could be killed.
I could lose them all
and I don't think
I can handle that.
Hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me:
it's gonna be okay.
We've got the Coast Guard
and an army of
federal agents on our side.
I swear to you,
I won't let anything go wrong.
Okay.
Better get back out there.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Anytime.
Motor Vessel Heritage Star,
this is the Coast Guard
on channel 16.
Stop your engines,
drop your weapons,
heave to, and prepare
to be boarded.
Air Station coming in
for diversion.
Fire warning shots now.
Agent Pride,
you're clear to approach
at the starboard aft.
Air Station,
another burst of fire.
We'll take the bridge.
Get down below deck,
find the fourth hijacker.
Drop your weapon!
Now!
Put your hands
behind your head.
Grab the hostages.
Where is the detonator?
We're pinned down, Chris.
Hostiles in the aft section
of the bridge.
Port side.
Freeze!
Bridge secure.
Garrett Layne,
I'm Special Agent
Dwayne Pride, NCIS.
You need to stop
this boat right now.
No, sir.
I can't.
Pride...
the fourth hijacker
is in custody,
and I found the explosives,
but no sign of the detonator.
Think we just found it.
Detonator's connected
to the GPS, Chris.
If the tug's diverted
from its heading,
or slows, bomb goes off.
Special Agent Percy's
trying to defuse it.
- Patton.
- Cracked the SIM card
on Russo's phone.
We hit the mother lode.
The data files confirm
that he detonated the
warehouse bomb this morning.
Does he have the capability
of setting off the bomb
on that tug boat?
I'm afraid so.
But listen, that's not all.
Russo's been in contact
with one of the hijackers
all day.
He's pulling all the strings.
- I still have no idea why.
- We might.
Russo's been receiving
encrypted e-mails.
We traced it back to server
in Bogota, Colombia.
Yeah, sophisticated
encryption,
military equipment,
hired mercenaries.
I mean, I know that we were
thinking enemy state.
Yeah, but it could be
the cartels.
Why would they
blow the river?
E-mails indicate their target
to be the Coast Guard itself.
No idea why.
Those Coast Guard boats are
blocking the river
directly under the
Crescent City Connection.
That bomb goes off, it takes out
the boats and the bridge.
You tell Pride now.
I'm detaining Russo.
Commander!
NCIS has evidence that
this ship is the target
and the Crescent City
Connection.
You must take evasive action.
Not that simple. I have orders.
Plus a mission to protect
the river from that tugboat.
Well, your orders came
from the person
who set this whole attack up.
What's that supposed to mean?
Look, sir, you have to listen.
If you don't move
out of my way,
I'll have you removed.
Swanson,
you must have heard
about the breach at DHS.
Task force is looking
for the mole.
I know, but how would you know
anything about that?
I have the evidence
right here.
Commander...
Commander, listen, damn it.
Special Agent Swanson,
escort Special Agent Lasalle
below deck.
Look, the Heritage Star
is rigged to explode
if it's taken
off course, all right?
And it will definitely explode
if it gets close enough
to us.
That bridge goes down,
takes out God knows
how many innocents.
Then I'll have the skipper fire
on that tugboat.
Look, we still have
agents on that boat.
And at least
one hostage.
All right, my people is working
on disarming the bomb.
We just need more time.
He's right.
We need your help here.
Okay, you got three minutes.
And at that point, anybody that
can get off the boat should.
We gotta protect
that bridge.
I'll contact DHS,
make sure Russo gets dealt with.
Pride, Percy...
...I bought you enough time
to disarm the bomb.
I'll need about a week.
Yeah, well,
you got three minutes.
Gonna get you
off the boat, Garrett.
I can't let go
of the controls.
Yeah. Yes, you can.
'Cause I'm gonna
switch places with you.
Crazy, huh?
But that's what's happening.
It's not like driving a car.
My uncle was a riverman.
I know my way around the helm.
We're gonna take it slow.
Easy-- just one hand,
and then the other.
No, no, I-I just...
I just need to...
I promised your wife
I'd get you home safely.
Don't want
to make me a liar, do you?
Huh?
Okay...
Easy.
Just let it go.
There you go. Okay.
Take the other one off.
I got it.
Good job.
Everybody off.
Go. Go. That's an order.
I got the controls, Chris.
Just like a Kingfisher.
You're too clever, Merri.
That mean you're
surrendering?
That means
today's gonna end badly for you
and your team.
Soon as that boat
gets close enough...
You're doing all this...
Sit down.
...for drug dealers?
How much could they possibly be
paying you
to betray your country?
You got me wrong!
I'm a patriot.
Just not for your side.
I don't understand, John.
Don't you want to matter, Merri?
Be more than just a cog.
They saw the potential in me.
More than any law firm,
or government agency,
to be exceptional;
to matter.
By blowing up some boats?
Taking out a bridge?
How many people have
we lost...
to the Coast Guard,
to the military.
I'm making a statement.
It's petty, John.
Don't be hurt.
I enjoyed our
time together.
I really like you.
I liked you, too.
Sonja,
we're running out of time.
I'm getting there, okay?
One of these wires leads
to the cellular detonator.
Find that, and I'll
diffuse the bomb.
Got the cutter in view.
Just past the bridge.
Out of time here,
Special Agent.
Gunners, in position.
Get Agent Percy
off that boat.
What about Pride?
You want to lose them both?
Sonja...
that's it. Time's up.
Stop talking!
All right, Sonja...
it's over.
Time to go. Now.
Get out of here!
It's time to go!
Sonja...
get out of here! Now!
Okay.
One more second.
Gunners ready...
Don't move.
You're under arrest.
It's over, John.
Coming about.
Bomb is diffused.
Call 'em off the strike.
I repeat: bomb is diffused,
call off the strike.
Gunner! Stand down! Stand down!
Open the door! Open up!
Whatcha got?
DHS cleared Brody,
and Garrett Layne
reunited with his wife,
so all in all,
we should be celebrating.
Yes, we should.
How'd it go with DC?
Far as they're concerned,
without us,
yesterday would have
been catastrophic.
I feel like there's
a big "but" coming.
Russo got too close
to pulling off his mission
from inside.
Which means...
Full review
of the entire affair.
All right? From General Matthews
to yesterday.
And until the review's complete,
we are on administrative leave.
Two weeks.
That sounds like
a punishment.
It's a break.
Which we need.
Agent Hardy's gonna
cover our cases.
We'll take some R&R.
Well, I'll let Percy know.
You're going to ask
me how I'm doing.
And you're gonna
tell me you're fine.
No. But I will be.
I just need to
sort this all out.
I can't believe I
let Russo get close.
You didn't let Russo get close.
You stopped him.
I was lucky.
You were smart.
Listened to that voice
inside you.
You should do it more often.
Well, right now,
that voice is saying,
"Go to a secluded beach."
I'll clear my mind.
It's 5:00 somewhere.
Pride says we're on
administrative leave.
Two week vacation.
Oh, wow.
You don't have
to tell me twice.
I'll see you later.
Yo, Percy.
You just going to leave?
Oh, I didn't realize
I needed to check in with you.
Well, I thought
you might want to talk.
Oh, "work husband" means
your responsibilities
end after work.
See ya later.
Well, you almost
died yesterday.
Yeah, and you almost died
a few weeks ago.
But we lived.
I go now.
Did I offend you somehow?
No. But you need
to stop worrying about me.
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
It means don't treat me
different from everyone else.
It especially means
don't try to stop me
from taking dangerous jobs.
Don't get soft on me.
I'm not soft.
I care about you, you idiot.
Well, stop, 'cause...
I-I can't take it on.
I'm glad you didn't die.
You're an ass.
Yeah. I know.
All right. Cool.
I'll see you later.
And I'll see you soon.

Merri hit the road.
She's heading to the Keys.
She left?
Mm.
I'm still here for you.
Come on. One more game.
I'll take it easy on you.
Miss Loretta.
I call it
"Death Takes a Holiday."
Oh! Poetic and accurate.
But is it good?
Mmm!
Oh, delicious.
Another satisfied customer.
Hey.
Hey, boss.
You on duty tonight?
I most definitely am not.
Yeah.
Fellas?
Hmm?
Oh, look at that face.
Yep.
How's it going?
Not that great.
Good.
Look at that score there.
I'm killing it.
Easy on him, would you?
Ah, thank you.
Loretta... feeling good.
Despite the news
from Washington.
Prying into your business.
Eh, it doesn't bode well.
But you know what I call that?
Tomorrow's problem.
I like the attitude.
You gonna miss us
while we're on leave?
Mm-mm.
Taking advantage and
using a few vacation days.
Danny's graduating this month.
Asked him what he would
want for a gift.
He said to go camping out west.
Loretta,
you have many talents.
Outdoorsman is not one of them.
Not one of them.
Not even close.
You're welcome to come along.
Thank you, but I have plans.
Right.
Two weeks to work at the bar.
No, ma'am. I'm leaving the bar
in Buckley's capable hands.
I promise I won't burn it down.
Appreciate that.
Laurel's doing a...
an internship
in Oberlin, Ohio.
And I have a gig.
As in music?
Yes, as in music.
Walter "Wolfman" Washington
lost his piano
player for a month.
I'm filling in while they're

Dwayne Pride...
Mm-hmm.
On tour. I'll drink to that.
Come on.
Dwayne, we need you
up here, my brother.
Here I come.
