I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell
you like this, but I mean it.
I'd really like
to stay friends.
[dial tone]Hello?
Hello?
Please tell me
that wasn't Alyson.
Didn't your mother teach you not to
eavesdrop? I'm not eavesdropping.
You know, I'm just here,
making a sandwich, you're...
walking into the room.[sighs]
Yeah, it's Alyson.
What happened?
Last week, you kicked
me out of the house
so you could make her some fancy
deal salty bocca or whatever.
First, it's saltimbocca.
Second, Alyson
and I are just...
going in different
directions, that's all.
I really liked her, though. No,
baby, you liked her baking.
Well, I am a sucker
for homemade cookies.
That sounded pretty rough.
You need anything?
Um...
my blood sugar's
pretty low right now.
Really?
Thanks.
Been a long time, Joanne.
Imagine it was hard adjusting
to Virginia Beach
after the Pacific Northwest.
No. Atlantic Operations keeps me
plenty busy, that's for sure.
How can NCIS New Orleans
help ease the load?
Two days ago,
Lieutenant Brittany Simone
was gunned down in London
where she worked for
the Office of Naval Research.
It appears
to be a professional hit.
Any leads?
No evidence at the scene,
but a witness claims
to have seen a woman
dressed in black,
but couldn't give us
a description.
So we're dealing
with a female suspect?
It appears so,
and when we retraced.
Lieutenant Simone's steps,
we found
this woman was following her
the day before she died.
Following somebody's a far cry
from murdering them.
Why do you think
she's the killer?
We ran facial recognition,
and we found
that she matched
several INTERPOL Red Notices
from Rome and Greece.
She's unidentified,
but she is wanted
for questioning
in connection
with two other murders:
A banker and a doctor.
Was she following them, too?
Local law enforcement say yes.
And now she's in New Orleans?
Yes, we think she's there.
But we figured that out
only after she landed.
When was that?
Five hours ago.
So you have no proof that she's
killed anyone.
True, but wherever
this woman goes,
death seems to follow.
What name did she use
to buy the tickets?
Julia Durand. And unfortunately,
the Social Security number
tied to it didn't exist
until three years ago.
All right.
Uh, so, have ICE send us
the passport photo.
If she's here, we'll find her.
Mm-hmm. My team has caught people
with far less to go on.
CJ, I thought I told you
to wait in the hall.
Come on, Mom.
This guy was struck
by lightning.
You want to see the
Lichtenberg scarring
that lightning
strikes can cause?
No, I want to see
if it made his hair stick up.
Well, you're not gonna see
either one of them. Go on.
You're just too
much sometimes.
That's what Detective Holloway
said about me earlier today.
Detective Holloway?
Who's Detective Holloway?
What were you doing
talking with him?
He spoke at my school about
some youth outreach programs
at the NOPD.
I want to write an article
for the paper about them.
That's a great idea. Right?
So I convinced him to
take me on a ride-along.
A what? It's when you get to go
in the car with the cops.
I know what a ride-along is.
What would you be doing
going on a ride-along?
I want kids to see how
hard a detective's job is,
show their commitment.
Humanize 'em, you know?
Otherwise no teenager's
gonna care
about a police
outreach program.
You're a little young
to be going on a ride-along.
Detective Holloway said
he'd make an exception.
As long
as I got your permission.
I'll talk to Detective Holloway.
But I'm not making
any promises.
Yes.
[phone hangs up]HANNAH:
Well, Pride says
the man that sat next
to our suspect
on the plane didn't offer much.
She just sat there.
No laptop, no cell phone.
The one interesting thing
that did happen, though, was
when the flight attendant
offered to stow her bag,
she refused to let it go.
Something special about the bag?
Just a brown bag. She kept it
in her lap the whole flight.
It was an
international flight.
No way she got a weapon
onto the plane,
but she did care
about something.
Where are we at
with the victims?
No obvious connections.
Yeah, Lieutenant Simone was
responsible for a project
that tracked the effects
of sonar from naval ships
on fish
in the Mediterranean Sea.
GREGORIO:
Banker's name was Lena Davis.
Worked at a top firm in Rome.
And the doctor? Uh,
Jonas Antoni, an esteemed
neurologist in Greece.
Each killed differently...
Stabbed, shot, poisoned.
Why use different methods?
Avoids establishing a pattern.
It's almost like a bad joke...
A sailor, a banker, and
a neurologist walk
into a bar. Only,
the punchline is, none of them
ever walk out again.
Our lady's disguises were
no match for my software.
She walks in a blonde...
then walks out a brunette.
Do you know where
she went after?
She hopped in a taxi. The driver
said he dropped her off
at the Windsor Court Hotel. Okay, Patton.
You and Sebastian keep digging
into the victims.
Find a connection.
Me and Tammy will head
to the Windsor Court Hotel.
We'll call Pride on the way.
She checked into the hotel
under the name Elaine Ellison.
Sebastian's looking her up,
but don't hold your breath.
Doorman said she walked out
about ten minutes ago on foot.
So no idea where she's headed
or how long she'll be gone for.
No. Patton's checking the
street cams, so he'll find her.
Unless she left with a bag full
of wigs and hats.
Well, at least we'll be able
to search her room.
Yeah, I'll stay down here,
let you know if she comes back.
Yeah.
HANNAH:
Clothing.
Toiletries. Oh.
I think I prefer her
as a blonde.
There's nothing personal
or helpful.[phone beeps]
I also don't see the bag
she was so concerned
about on the plane.
Patton find out
where she went?
Not yet, but
Sebastian looked
into the name she
checked in under.
Another alias.
Also created three years ago.
You know, we could
just arrest her
for using false identities,
break her story
back at the office.
Yeah. We don't
know who she is,
why she's here, if
she's the killer,
and if she is,
who her target is.
We arrest her,
we may never get the answer.
She's on her way up.
[elevator bell dings]
[mumbling]
Oh! Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No. No.I'm just trying to help.
You're not helping. I'm sorry.
I've got it.
Are you okay? I'm fine.
Watch where you're
going next time.
I'm sorry. With your... drink.
Have a nice, uh...
night, day.
Night. [Grunts]
The infamous
brown bag?
Yeah, full of files.
I couldn't see what they were,
but as she was shoving
everything back into her bag,
I got a glimpse of a weapon.
Looked like a Glock 380,
but I can't be sure.
Maybe that's where she went.
She couldn't bring a weapon
into the country,
had to go get one here.
Which means
she's one step closer
to doing whatever it is
she came here to do.
And since we have no idea
what that is,
got to be sure we don't
let her out of our sight.
[trumpet and trombone play
lively jazz]
Hey, this is where you
want to set up shop? Yeah,
I've got a good view
of the hotel's entrance. All right,
come on.
Hey, man, your mystery woman
took a trip to the bank
earlier today, and
she emptied out
a safety deposit box registered
to a Libby Dawson.
I'm guessing
it was opened three years ago
with an identity
that's another dead end?
It's like
you've done this before.
You know what she got out?
Well, I'm good,
but I ain't that good.
Bet it was that gun I saw.
Hannah and Gregorio set up?
Directional mics, binoculars,
long-zoom cameras.
All set up across the street,
with a perfect line of sight
into our woman's room.Great.
Hotel should be sharing access
to their security feeds
with you any minute.
Got them all up.
And they sent over
their reservation log.
Couple hundred names
to sort through.
You know, a...
a woman
opened that safety deposit box
three years ago,
and all her fake IDs
are three years old, too.
Okay, that gives
us a timeline.
But what's it all got to do
with our three murder victims
across Europe? I don't know yet.
Could be that whatever
this is all about
started here.
And it needs to finish here.Yeah.
Maybe. Know what?
I'll have Sebastian see
if he can connect
our victims to New Orleans.
Hey, man, you know,
it's been a while
since just you and I
had time to burn.
Yeah, I guess it has.
Yeah. Be nice to catch up.
And I also come prepared, baby.
Oh, my... Caffeine and fried foods.
Damn, I love
a good stakeout. But let's see how you feel
in the morning
after the sun rises.
I know. Just tell Naomi
that I'm really sorry, okay?
And that I'll pick her up
next practice.
Thanks, Ryan.
It's the 21st century.
Why do we need wires
for anything anymore?
Well, Patton says you can't
let a stakeout go south
because of
a bad wireless connection. Oh, yeah?
Well, then, Patton should invent
a damn cord holder.
It's got to be hard canceling
on Naomi because of work.
Ryan tells her that her mom's
out saving the world.
You are. Does she care?
[chuckles]
I mean, sometimes.
Other times,
she puts me in the penalty box,
you know?
No news from school.
No GIFs
with cats on skateboards.[chuckles]
Losing those cat GIFs
has got to hurt.
And we're live.
Perfect timing.
We have got movement.
Hey, can you
come over here and read
this writing in this file?
No matter how clear I get it,
I'm not gonna be able
to read it. It's just gibberish.
It's Albanian.
I'm a little rusty,
but it's nothing
an online translator can't help.
Well, I'll just stand here
and watch someone read.
WADE:
How in the world
did my son convince you
that a ride-along was a good
idea, Detective Holloway?
CJ showed an incredible amount
of enthusiasm for a young man.
He wore you down.
Uh...
CJ would be formidable
arguing in a courtroom.
He's persuasive.
No, a breath of fresh air.
We've been trying
to get young people
excited about
our outreach programs,
and CJ's article
might actually help.
See, that's what
I was afraid of.
[sighs]
Look, Detective Holloway... No, no, no.
Gene. Please.
Okay. Gene.
You're clearly
experienced,
so you know how dangerous
a ride-along can be.
[chuckles]
I'm not a beat cop, Dr. Wade.
I only arrive after the crime
has been committed.
I know what a detective does.
Look, agreed.
Taking a minor
is a little unconventional,
but CJ impressed me.
And I'll only be
taking him on a tour.
I won't respond to any calls.
But even a ride-along
can take a turn.
Are you worried
I'll get into an accident?
[chuckles]:
The chances of that are so slim.
Well, slim chances
are all I deal with
at the morgue.
I know what a coroner does.
Look, I was nervous
when my daughter went
on a ride-along.
The thing is
our kids are surrounded
by danger every day.
Ride-alongs only help them
be more prepared.
Knowledge is power.
If you're worried,
come and join.
You look like a woman
who knows how to handle herself
in the field.
PATTON: So,
there I was in a broken-down car
in the Italian Dolomites.
That's when I saw
the headlights.
I'm finished.
Anything?
If everyone registered
with their own name,
no one has any connection
to Lieutenant Simone
or the other two murder victims.
At least,
no connection that I can find.
Man, that's a lot of qualifiers.
[sighs]
Feel like
there's more that we don't know
about this case than we do know.
I've been combing through
this hotel's staff records,
and I haven't gotten
a hit, either.
Know what,
let's split up the rest, man.
All right. So, anyway,
the headlights
turned out to be a farmer
on his way
to help a cow in labor.
Hmm. I hitched a ride.
Next thing you know,
there I am, cradling a baby calf
on a milk farm in Italy.
Well, just goes to show you,
you never know
where life is gonna take you.
Or a farmer in Italy,
for that matter.
[chuckles]That's where
that magnet came from.
Wait, no.
No, hold-hold...
hold on.
That entire story
was about this-this
one little magnet?
Oh, I got plenty more
where that came from.
Anyway, what's up with you?
[computer rings]
How's it going? She hasn't left
her hotel room.
PATTON: Nobody suspicious in or out,
either.
[exhales] Man, I was gonna say
I'm missing out on all the fun,
but now I'm not so sure.
Well, Patton's not run out
of stories.
Nope.
You find anything helpful? Yeah,
I used an online
Albanian translation program
on those papers
we managed to take a picture of.
PRIDE:
Well, that sounds promising.
It's a copy
of Lieutenant Simone's research.
She found an unusually high
amount of sea bass
that were dying
off the coast of Albania.
Why would our assassin
be interested in dead sea bass?
I don't know.
But our dead doctor
also traveled to the same region
a month before he was murdered.
What for? No idea.
What about the banker? SEBASTIAN:
Nothing yet.
The bank sent over
a ton of heavily redacted files
that Hannah and Tammy
are gonna help me go through.
PRIDE:
Okay.
Well...
Time is not on our side,
Sebastian.
Oh. Okay.
No pressure.
HANNAH:
Oh, she's on edge.
She's waiting for something.
So, the banker covered
accounts for corporations,
millionaires, billionaires.
Any one of these people
could have had secrets
worth killing over. Any
connection to Albania?
Not yet.
[phone chimes]
Oh!
What?
Aw.
She's so pretty.
I know. The only person
who texts me this
early is Sebastian,
and usually,
he's sending me pictures
of the dirty dishes
I left in the sink.
I thought
you were dating someone.
No, Alyson and I split up.
Oh.
Your idea or hers?
Mine.
Hold up.
So, the banker worked
with a company called
Infinity Plastics.
They owned a PVC factory
in Albania.
I'll send it to Sebastian,
see what he thinks.
You want to talk
about what happened with Alyson?
There's nothing to talk about.
I mean, she wanted something
I couldn't give her,
so why dwell on it, you know?
You know,
I-I have not dated in a while,
but after breakups,
I like to,
you know, decompress.
Kind of figure out what I want
for the next relationship.
When I go through a breakup,
I like to act like
it never happened
so I can jump
right back in the pool.
[phone rings]
It's an incoming call
on her end.
PRIDE:
Patton's on it.
WOMAN:
I understand.
In three hours.
HANNAH: Patton,
any chance you know what's going on
in three hours? PATTON: Negative.
GREGORIO: She's breaking
the SIM card. At least we know
there's a countdown
to something.
She destroyed it.
Countdown to what?
Damn.
Needed her
to stay on the phone
another minute.
Hey, dude.
Need another cup of coffee?
Look like
this overnighter's
catching up with you.
I wish I could say
it was my first one this week.
Sleep and I are not
on speaking terms these days.
Any idea why?
Just a lot on my mind,
I guess. Come on, Pride.
I been trying to get you
to open up all night, man.
What do you mean?
About what?
About this man in a red suit.
Ever since you told me
to stop looking into him,
you start looking
worse and worse.
Look, I told you,
it's just a dream.
No dream is that persistent.
[sighs]
Hey, she checking in?
Come on, man.
You ain't gonna distract me.
That's Ms. Myers
from the fifth floor.
She probably going to report
another noise complaint.
No, back to this dream.
Pride, come on. I'm on
your side, all right?
[sighs]
Last time I saw him,
it wasn't a dream.
It was a memory.
A memory of what?
I saw him,
whoever he is, in the rain.
Bloody.
Left for dead.
I don't know when or where,
but I know
something very bad happened.
You remember
anything else?
No.
And to be honest,
I'm not sure I want to.
I...
It's like I'm standing
in front of a closed door,
and my intuition is screaming
at me not to open it.
Pride, that's fear talking.
That's not you.
You the type of guy that'll kick
a door down no matter what's
waiting on the other side.
Yeah, well, that's for my job.
This is different.
Man, running is running, no
matter who you're running from.
If you're being
haunted by a memory,
you need to confront it,
or you're gonna be running from
it for the rest of your life.
CJ:
What are those buttons for?
HOLLOWAY:
Well, that's the spotlight.
That's the P.A. system.
And this is the dashcam.
And that switch?
Ah.
This controls the siren.
But I... I bet you
already figured that out.
Can we turn it on?
Only in an emergency.
There's probably
an emergency somewhere.
CJ.
DISPATCHER:
Need a response for an 18-A.
That for us?
They need help? No.
Someone's calling in
an abandoned vehicle.
My sign
is 4320.
I use it
when I need something.
And they use it
when they need me.
What are the other codes?
Uh, 23 is traffic
congestion.
And 90D,
gambling with dice.
24 is medical emergency.
Boring.
CJ.
Sorry. Have you ever been
in a car chase,
Detective Holloway? Not in 30 years.
And, before you ask,
no shootouts, either.Ah.
What do you do all day?
Mostly paperwork
and phone calls.
Sometimes I spend
the day in court.
Being a cop is...
98% tedium,
Mm-hmm. Two percent terror.
Yeah, well,
it's the aftermath
of that two percent that
keeps me plenty busy at work.
Well, I can't
imagine what you see
down there in the morgue.Ugh. Now, recently
there was a case
where we
couldn't figure out
why a plane crashed,
until I discovered
that the pilot had
a drone lodged in his throat.
Well, last week, I had
to arrest a ghost.
[laughing]
What'd you have
to do that for?
Oh, because a poor lady...
She claimed it had broken
into her apartment.
That was a nice thing to do.
HOLLOWAY:
Eh, what can I say?
I'm a nice guy.
Okay, nice guy.
Recently,
we pulled a body
from Lake Pontchartrain.
Had it in my fridge
for about an hour
when I heard a tapping
from inside.
Don't tell me
he was alive? A crab had hitched
a ride inside him
and wanted out.
[Wade and Holloway chuckle]
What'd you do
with the crab? Oh, I took him back
to the lake.
Au revoir, crabe.
[both speaking French]
[laughs]
GREGORIO: What's that new
batch of stuff Sebastian gave you?
It's the Greek doctor's
social media.
And my Greek is rustier
than my Albanian.
But it seems like
he travels a lot.
Volunteered at a bunch
of different clinics
around the Mediterranean
treating illnesses.
It's hard to believe
this woman killed anybody,
she's so boring.
You find a lot of people boring.
I mean...
people are pretty predictable.
You're looking for someone
who can surprise you?
Are we still talking
about the assassin?
Because I'm definitely not
looking for her to surprise me.
I'm talking about Alyson.
Think she's on the phone
in there?
Hey, Patton,
get any signal
inside the room? And I wasn't
getting bored of Alyson.
I'm a profiler...
I can predict
how a relationship
is about to end,
and we were headed for a crash.
Why?
Negative. No signal in or out.
Her family was coming into town,
she wanted to introduce me.
That means she wants
to get serious.
Okay, maybe they
were just visiting,
she thought
it'd be fun.
Did you talk to
her about it?
I didn't have to.
I can see the signs.
We would have
started fighting,
and it would have ended anyway.
Why wait?
Oh, that sounds
like you're focusing
on what could go wrong
in a relationship
instead of what
could go right. Why the hell
would I take advice from a woman
who refuses to date?
[laughs]
That's fair.
But how about
taking advice
from a friend
who wants you to be happy? I'm not looking
for anything serious right now.
Just leave it.
You just haven't met
the right person. No,
it's complicated, Hannah,
it's very complicated.
Even when I meet
the right person,
even if I met the right person
right now...
Just forget it. Please.
What do you mean?
[sighs]
Oh.
Okay, Eagle's on the move.
Let's go.
Come on, Barbara Walters,
let's go.
[reading Greek]
Shushice River.
Come on, pick up, pick up.
[computer dings]
Make it quick, Sebastian.
She's on the move. Pride,
it's mercury poisoning.
What is? SEBASTIAN: Our banker worked
for Infinity Plastics.
They have a PVC factory
in Albania
on the Shushice River.
Our doctor went
to this Albanian mountain town
to treat people.
And Lieutenant Simone...
She found the dying seabass
just off the coast here.
Infinity's dumping something
into the river. Yeah,
mercury.
They use it to make their pipes.
What's the connection
to New Orleans?
She... she chose
to come back here. I think it's because.
Infinity Plastics used to have
a PVC factory
just outside the city.
Used to?
They shut it down
three years ago.
Three years ago.
Right when our mystery woman
popped up on the scene.
She was caught
following three people
who had incriminating evidence
against Infinity Plastics.
Yeah, three people
who were murdered.
But now she has
their evidence.
And-and she hasn't
destroyed it yet, so...
Why not?
'Cause we got this all wrong.
♪
Who the hell are you?
Why are you following me?
Easy, now.
I'm with NCIS...
You work with Infinity
Plastics, don't you? No.
Federal agent!
Drop your weapon!
It's okay, Hannah!
Hannah, it's okay.
Hey.
We're not with
Infinity.
We're on your side.
I'm gonna need you
to relax now, please.
PRIDE:
We thought you were
an assassin,
but you're not.
We know
you're-you're just...
trying to stop Infinity Plastics
from hurting
any more people.
Let us help you. How do I know
you're telling the truth?
I'm gonna show you
my credentials,
if that's okay.
Okay.
Now, I'm gonna
need you
to point that thing
somewhere else, all right?
My son.
Nicholas.
Died three years ago.
He loved the outdoors.
He'd swim in the river
that ran through our property.
When the doctors
finally diagnosed him,
it was too late.
I'm sorry.
Losing a child
is...
Nothing harder than that.
The Infinity
Plastics factory
had been dumping mercury
into the groundwater.
But by the time
I could prove it,
they paid off inspectors
and shut the plant down.
So you went undercover just
to bring them to justice.
My husband...
my ex-husband
said I was obsessed, but I knew
they had to be stopped.
I've been a legal
investigator,
I know how to find information,
so I had a friend
set me up with some
false IDs so I could.
Three years is
a long time to be on the run.
Well, it certainly wasn't
time wasted... depositions,
medical files,
research papers.
This is
a really compelling case.
No.
All I've done is get
three brave people killed.
Well, their deaths
won't be for nothing.
But you're gonna have
to help us find
the person who did this.
I don't know who it is.
I-I just...
I knew Infinity
was after me.
That's why I came back home.
Well, who were you
on your way to meet with?
Helen Long.
A newspaper editor
who's helped
whistleblowers before. Okay,
call Helen, have her
meet us at our office.
I can't.
We agreed on radio silence
after setting the time
for the meet at Audubon Park.
Hence the destroyed SIM
card. Helen didn't want
to leave any trail
that could lead back
to us.
Well, if the assassin
followed you to New Orleans,
it's possible she knows
about this meet.
Then Helen's in danger, too.
I have to get to the park
and warn her.Whoa.
Hang on, hang on.
Can't let you do that.
I'll send NOPD to the house, see
if they can intercept her first.
Please. I can't have anybody
else's death on my conscience.
I'm sorry, but we don't know
anything about this assassin:
Where she's from,
what she looks like.
[gasps softly]
That's not true.
You know one thing.
You know her next target is me.
GREGORIO:
It's too risky.
HANNAH:
Well, we can't let Karla
use herself as bait...
There's got to be another way.
Well, I can go in as a decoy,
pretend I'm Karla.
No, no, no. The
assassin's too good.
She'd know.
[sighs]Call Sebastian.
All right?
Have him meet you at the park.
Try to figure out where
the attack might come from.
On it, boss.
What are you thinking?
Well... we know
somebody's after her,
but they don't know we're here.
We have a tactical
advantage.
Hopefully that's enough.
HOLLOWAY:

No sign of her yet.

Not close enough

Infinity Plastics
is going down.[sharp exhale]
That's all that matters.
Give us a second.
Your son...
He'd be so proud of you.
What you did was
incredibly brave.
After he died...
I was so afraid
I wouldn't be able
to move on.
All I could do was hide myself
away from everything.
That's understandable.
The thing is,
you can't hide forever.
I came to see that
the only way
past my fear
was to finally
confront it, so...
And it's all over now.
You can put your fear
behind you.
Go ahead, guys.
I know it's a lot
to process.
I mean, I know
these things happen.
I've seen it on TV
and stuff.
But that was, like, real.
As real as it gets.
Wish I could say it's something
you'll never see again,
but truth is, I don't know.
What I do know
is you handled it.
I'm proud of you, CJ.
Well, I couldn't just sit there
and do nothing.
That woman needed help.
Because of you,
she got it a lot faster.
You did good.
I suppose you'll be thinking
about going into
law enforcement now.
Actually, I don't
want to be a cop.
I want to be a doctor.
You do?
Mom, you saved
that woman's life.
Oh, boy.
[chuckles]
You leaving without
saying goodbye?
Oh, I figured you had a lot
of paperwork after today.
Oh, well, that can wait.
I, um, was just wondering
if, uh, tomorrow night
you wanted to grab some dinner.
To go over
today's events.
Uh...
if you don't mind being seen
with an old detective
like myself.
Well, I have never seen
an old detective
run as fast as you do.[Holloway chuckles]
Is that a yes?
Yes, I'd enjoy that
very much.
[speaks French]
Look after her, son.
Okay.
Wait. Don't you
need her number?
Oh, now, if he's half as good
as the stories he tells,
I'm sure he'll find it.
[Gregorio sighs]
Someone was awfully
quiet on the ride home.
Sorry.
I was thinking.
HANNAH:
About?
Our conversation.
Look, I'm really sorry, okay?
I overstepped.
It is none of my business
who you date.
You know what?
I really do want to be
in a serious relationship.
Eventually. Are we...
are we talking about Alyson?
'Cause I really miss her.
Yeah, we're talking about
Alyson. We're talking about
all of 'em, I guess.
It's just, the thing is
that if I do decide
to get serious one day, I'd...
I'd like for one of them
to meet my mom.
Your mom can't be that bad.
It's not that, Sebastian.
She doesn't know that I'm gay.
You know,
I never came out to her.
My dad died, we
would always fight,
and, um...
the timing was always off.So...
then your solution
is just to never have
a successful relationship?
I never really
thought that through.
You were
protecting yourself.
You deserve happiness.
Okay? Even if it's
not in a form
that your mom approves of.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you know,
if you happen to fall
for someone who has
a, like,
a deep love of baking...[chuckles]
Then I think that's someone
that your roommate
will approve of.
Thank you.
[knocking]
Come in.
Dwayne. Oh.
What a pleasant surprise.
Sorry to drop in
like this, Dr. Tanaka. No,
it's not a problem.
Come on in.
Um, I wasn't sure
I'd see you again
after our last session.
I wasn't either.
Last time we spoke, you said
if my sleep issues continued,
that there were some
innovative methods
that we could explore.
I take it the nightmares
haven't stopped.
Not just nightmares.
They're memories.
I tried to ignore 'em,
muscle through, but
it-it's not working.
Well, unfortunately,
ignoring the problem
is never a long-term solution.
Usually
makes things worse.
Friend of mine
said the same thing.
I haven't had a...
full night's sleep
in weeks.
I'm exhausted.
I just think it's time
I stop running
and confronted
whatever it is
that's haunting me.
Well, I am happy to help,
if I can.
I was hoping you'd say that.

Hello?
Please tell me
that wasn't Alyson.
Didn't your mother teach you not to
eavesdrop? I'm not eavesdropping.
You know, I'm just here,
making a sandwich, you're...
walking into the room.[sighs]
Yeah, it's Alyson.
What happened?
Last week, you kicked
me out of the house
so you could make her some fancy
deal salty bocca or whatever.
First, it's saltimbocca.
Second, Alyson
and I are just...
going in different
directions, that's all.
I really liked her, though. No,
baby, you liked her baking.
Well, I am a sucker
for homemade cookies.
That sounded pretty rough.
You need anything?
Um...
my blood sugar's
pretty low right now.
Really?
Thanks.
Been a long time, Joanne.
Imagine it was hard adjusting
to Virginia Beach
after the Pacific Northwest.
No. Atlantic Operations keeps me
plenty busy, that's for sure.
How can NCIS New Orleans
help ease the load?
Two days ago,
Lieutenant Brittany Simone
was gunned down in London
where she worked for
the Office of Naval Research.
It appears
to be a professional hit.
Any leads?
No evidence at the scene,
but a witness claims
to have seen a woman
dressed in black,
but couldn't give us
a description.
So we're dealing
with a female suspect?
It appears so,
and when we retraced.
Lieutenant Simone's steps,
we found
this woman was following her
the day before she died.
Following somebody's a far cry
from murdering them.
Why do you think
she's the killer?
We ran facial recognition,
and we found
that she matched
several INTERPOL Red Notices
from Rome and Greece.
She's unidentified,
but she is wanted
for questioning
in connection
with two other murders:
A banker and a doctor.
Was she following them, too?
Local law enforcement say yes.
And now she's in New Orleans?
Yes, we think she's there.
But we figured that out
only after she landed.
When was that?
Five hours ago.
So you have no proof that she's
killed anyone.
True, but wherever
this woman goes,
death seems to follow.
What name did she use
to buy the tickets?
Julia Durand. And unfortunately,
the Social Security number
tied to it didn't exist
until three years ago.
All right.
Uh, so, have ICE send us
the passport photo.
If she's here, we'll find her.
Mm-hmm. My team has caught people
with far less to go on.
CJ, I thought I told you
to wait in the hall.
Come on, Mom.
This guy was struck
by lightning.
You want to see the
Lichtenberg scarring
that lightning
strikes can cause?
No, I want to see
if it made his hair stick up.
Well, you're not gonna see
either one of them. Go on.
You're just too
much sometimes.
That's what Detective Holloway
said about me earlier today.
Detective Holloway?
Who's Detective Holloway?
What were you doing
talking with him?
He spoke at my school about
some youth outreach programs
at the NOPD.
I want to write an article
for the paper about them.
That's a great idea. Right?
So I convinced him to
take me on a ride-along.
A what? It's when you get to go
in the car with the cops.
I know what a ride-along is.
What would you be doing
going on a ride-along?
I want kids to see how
hard a detective's job is,
show their commitment.
Humanize 'em, you know?
Otherwise no teenager's
gonna care
about a police
outreach program.
You're a little young
to be going on a ride-along.
Detective Holloway said
he'd make an exception.
As long
as I got your permission.
I'll talk to Detective Holloway.
But I'm not making
any promises.
Yes.
[phone hangs up]HANNAH:
Well, Pride says
the man that sat next
to our suspect
on the plane didn't offer much.
She just sat there.
No laptop, no cell phone.
The one interesting thing
that did happen, though, was
when the flight attendant
offered to stow her bag,
she refused to let it go.
Something special about the bag?
Just a brown bag. She kept it
in her lap the whole flight.
It was an
international flight.
No way she got a weapon
onto the plane,
but she did care
about something.
Where are we at
with the victims?
No obvious connections.
Yeah, Lieutenant Simone was
responsible for a project
that tracked the effects
of sonar from naval ships
on fish
in the Mediterranean Sea.
GREGORIO:
Banker's name was Lena Davis.
Worked at a top firm in Rome.
And the doctor? Uh,
Jonas Antoni, an esteemed
neurologist in Greece.
Each killed differently...
Stabbed, shot, poisoned.
Why use different methods?
Avoids establishing a pattern.
It's almost like a bad joke...
A sailor, a banker, and
a neurologist walk
into a bar. Only,
the punchline is, none of them
ever walk out again.
Our lady's disguises were
no match for my software.
She walks in a blonde...
then walks out a brunette.
Do you know where
she went after?
She hopped in a taxi. The driver
said he dropped her off
at the Windsor Court Hotel. Okay, Patton.
You and Sebastian keep digging
into the victims.
Find a connection.
Me and Tammy will head
to the Windsor Court Hotel.
We'll call Pride on the way.
She checked into the hotel
under the name Elaine Ellison.
Sebastian's looking her up,
but don't hold your breath.
Doorman said she walked out
about ten minutes ago on foot.
So no idea where she's headed
or how long she'll be gone for.
No. Patton's checking the
street cams, so he'll find her.
Unless she left with a bag full
of wigs and hats.
Well, at least we'll be able
to search her room.
Yeah, I'll stay down here,
let you know if she comes back.
Yeah.
HANNAH:
Clothing.
Toiletries. Oh.
I think I prefer her
as a blonde.
There's nothing personal
or helpful.[phone beeps]
I also don't see the bag
she was so concerned
about on the plane.
Patton find out
where she went?
Not yet, but
Sebastian looked
into the name she
checked in under.
Another alias.
Also created three years ago.
You know, we could
just arrest her
for using false identities,
break her story
back at the office.
Yeah. We don't
know who she is,
why she's here, if
she's the killer,
and if she is,
who her target is.
We arrest her,
we may never get the answer.
She's on her way up.
[elevator bell dings]
[mumbling]
Oh! Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No. No.I'm just trying to help.
You're not helping. I'm sorry.
I've got it.
Are you okay? I'm fine.
Watch where you're
going next time.
I'm sorry. With your... drink.
Have a nice, uh...
night, day.
Night. [Grunts]
The infamous
brown bag?
Yeah, full of files.
I couldn't see what they were,
but as she was shoving
everything back into her bag,
I got a glimpse of a weapon.
Looked like a Glock 380,
but I can't be sure.
Maybe that's where she went.
She couldn't bring a weapon
into the country,
had to go get one here.
Which means
she's one step closer
to doing whatever it is
she came here to do.
And since we have no idea
what that is,
got to be sure we don't
let her out of our sight.
[trumpet and trombone play
lively jazz]
Hey, this is where you
want to set up shop? Yeah,
I've got a good view
of the hotel's entrance. All right,
come on.
Hey, man, your mystery woman
took a trip to the bank
earlier today, and
she emptied out
a safety deposit box registered
to a Libby Dawson.
I'm guessing
it was opened three years ago
with an identity
that's another dead end?
It's like
you've done this before.
You know what she got out?
Well, I'm good,
but I ain't that good.
Bet it was that gun I saw.
Hannah and Gregorio set up?
Directional mics, binoculars,
long-zoom cameras.
All set up across the street,
with a perfect line of sight
into our woman's room.Great.
Hotel should be sharing access
to their security feeds
with you any minute.
Got them all up.
And they sent over
their reservation log.
Couple hundred names
to sort through.
You know, a...
a woman
opened that safety deposit box
three years ago,
and all her fake IDs
are three years old, too.
Okay, that gives
us a timeline.
But what's it all got to do
with our three murder victims
across Europe? I don't know yet.
Could be that whatever
this is all about
started here.
And it needs to finish here.Yeah.
Maybe. Know what?
I'll have Sebastian see
if he can connect
our victims to New Orleans.
Hey, man, you know,
it's been a while
since just you and I
had time to burn.
Yeah, I guess it has.
Yeah. Be nice to catch up.
And I also come prepared, baby.
Oh, my... Caffeine and fried foods.
Damn, I love
a good stakeout. But let's see how you feel
in the morning
after the sun rises.
I know. Just tell Naomi
that I'm really sorry, okay?
And that I'll pick her up
next practice.
Thanks, Ryan.
It's the 21st century.
Why do we need wires
for anything anymore?
Well, Patton says you can't
let a stakeout go south
because of
a bad wireless connection. Oh, yeah?
Well, then, Patton should invent
a damn cord holder.
It's got to be hard canceling
on Naomi because of work.
Ryan tells her that her mom's
out saving the world.
You are. Does she care?
[chuckles]
I mean, sometimes.
Other times,
she puts me in the penalty box,
you know?
No news from school.
No GIFs
with cats on skateboards.[chuckles]
Losing those cat GIFs
has got to hurt.
And we're live.
Perfect timing.
We have got movement.
Hey, can you
come over here and read
this writing in this file?
No matter how clear I get it,
I'm not gonna be able
to read it. It's just gibberish.
It's Albanian.
I'm a little rusty,
but it's nothing
an online translator can't help.
Well, I'll just stand here
and watch someone read.
WADE:
How in the world
did my son convince you
that a ride-along was a good
idea, Detective Holloway?
CJ showed an incredible amount
of enthusiasm for a young man.
He wore you down.
Uh...
CJ would be formidable
arguing in a courtroom.
He's persuasive.
No, a breath of fresh air.
We've been trying
to get young people
excited about
our outreach programs,
and CJ's article
might actually help.
See, that's what
I was afraid of.
[sighs]
Look, Detective Holloway... No, no, no.
Gene. Please.
Okay. Gene.
You're clearly
experienced,
so you know how dangerous
a ride-along can be.
[chuckles]
I'm not a beat cop, Dr. Wade.
I only arrive after the crime
has been committed.
I know what a detective does.
Look, agreed.
Taking a minor
is a little unconventional,
but CJ impressed me.
And I'll only be
taking him on a tour.
I won't respond to any calls.
But even a ride-along
can take a turn.
Are you worried
I'll get into an accident?
[chuckles]:
The chances of that are so slim.
Well, slim chances
are all I deal with
at the morgue.
I know what a coroner does.
Look, I was nervous
when my daughter went
on a ride-along.
The thing is
our kids are surrounded
by danger every day.
Ride-alongs only help them
be more prepared.
Knowledge is power.
If you're worried,
come and join.
You look like a woman
who knows how to handle herself
in the field.
PATTON: So,
there I was in a broken-down car
in the Italian Dolomites.
That's when I saw
the headlights.
I'm finished.
Anything?
If everyone registered
with their own name,
no one has any connection
to Lieutenant Simone
or the other two murder victims.
At least,
no connection that I can find.
Man, that's a lot of qualifiers.
[sighs]
Feel like
there's more that we don't know
about this case than we do know.
I've been combing through
this hotel's staff records,
and I haven't gotten
a hit, either.
Know what,
let's split up the rest, man.
All right. So, anyway,
the headlights
turned out to be a farmer
on his way
to help a cow in labor.
Hmm. I hitched a ride.
Next thing you know,
there I am, cradling a baby calf
on a milk farm in Italy.
Well, just goes to show you,
you never know
where life is gonna take you.
Or a farmer in Italy,
for that matter.
[chuckles]That's where
that magnet came from.
Wait, no.
No, hold-hold...
hold on.
That entire story
was about this-this
one little magnet?
Oh, I got plenty more
where that came from.
Anyway, what's up with you?
[computer rings]
How's it going? She hasn't left
her hotel room.
PATTON: Nobody suspicious in or out,
either.
[exhales] Man, I was gonna say
I'm missing out on all the fun,
but now I'm not so sure.
Well, Patton's not run out
of stories.
Nope.
You find anything helpful? Yeah,
I used an online
Albanian translation program
on those papers
we managed to take a picture of.
PRIDE:
Well, that sounds promising.
It's a copy
of Lieutenant Simone's research.
She found an unusually high
amount of sea bass
that were dying
off the coast of Albania.
Why would our assassin
be interested in dead sea bass?
I don't know.
But our dead doctor
also traveled to the same region
a month before he was murdered.
What for? No idea.
What about the banker? SEBASTIAN:
Nothing yet.
The bank sent over
a ton of heavily redacted files
that Hannah and Tammy
are gonna help me go through.
PRIDE:
Okay.
Well...
Time is not on our side,
Sebastian.
Oh. Okay.
No pressure.
HANNAH:
Oh, she's on edge.
She's waiting for something.
So, the banker covered
accounts for corporations,
millionaires, billionaires.
Any one of these people
could have had secrets
worth killing over. Any
connection to Albania?
Not yet.
[phone chimes]
Oh!
What?
Aw.
She's so pretty.
I know. The only person
who texts me this
early is Sebastian,
and usually,
he's sending me pictures
of the dirty dishes
I left in the sink.
I thought
you were dating someone.
No, Alyson and I split up.
Oh.
Your idea or hers?
Mine.
Hold up.
So, the banker worked
with a company called
Infinity Plastics.
They owned a PVC factory
in Albania.
I'll send it to Sebastian,
see what he thinks.
You want to talk
about what happened with Alyson?
There's nothing to talk about.
I mean, she wanted something
I couldn't give her,
so why dwell on it, you know?
You know,
I-I have not dated in a while,
but after breakups,
I like to,
you know, decompress.
Kind of figure out what I want
for the next relationship.
When I go through a breakup,
I like to act like
it never happened
so I can jump
right back in the pool.
[phone rings]
It's an incoming call
on her end.
PRIDE:
Patton's on it.
WOMAN:
I understand.
In three hours.
HANNAH: Patton,
any chance you know what's going on
in three hours? PATTON: Negative.
GREGORIO: She's breaking
the SIM card. At least we know
there's a countdown
to something.
She destroyed it.
Countdown to what?
Damn.
Needed her
to stay on the phone
another minute.
Hey, dude.
Need another cup of coffee?
Look like
this overnighter's
catching up with you.
I wish I could say
it was my first one this week.
Sleep and I are not
on speaking terms these days.
Any idea why?
Just a lot on my mind,
I guess. Come on, Pride.
I been trying to get you
to open up all night, man.
What do you mean?
About what?
About this man in a red suit.
Ever since you told me
to stop looking into him,
you start looking
worse and worse.
Look, I told you,
it's just a dream.
No dream is that persistent.
[sighs]
Hey, she checking in?
Come on, man.
You ain't gonna distract me.
That's Ms. Myers
from the fifth floor.
She probably going to report
another noise complaint.
No, back to this dream.
Pride, come on. I'm on
your side, all right?
[sighs]
Last time I saw him,
it wasn't a dream.
It was a memory.
A memory of what?
I saw him,
whoever he is, in the rain.
Bloody.
Left for dead.
I don't know when or where,
but I know
something very bad happened.
You remember
anything else?
No.
And to be honest,
I'm not sure I want to.
I...
It's like I'm standing
in front of a closed door,
and my intuition is screaming
at me not to open it.
Pride, that's fear talking.
That's not you.
You the type of guy that'll kick
a door down no matter what's
waiting on the other side.
Yeah, well, that's for my job.
This is different.
Man, running is running, no
matter who you're running from.
If you're being
haunted by a memory,
you need to confront it,
or you're gonna be running from
it for the rest of your life.
CJ:
What are those buttons for?
HOLLOWAY:
Well, that's the spotlight.
That's the P.A. system.
And this is the dashcam.
And that switch?
Ah.
This controls the siren.
But I... I bet you
already figured that out.
Can we turn it on?
Only in an emergency.
There's probably
an emergency somewhere.
CJ.
DISPATCHER:
Need a response for an 18-A.
That for us?
They need help? No.
Someone's calling in
an abandoned vehicle.
My sign
is 4320.
I use it
when I need something.
And they use it
when they need me.
What are the other codes?
Uh, 23 is traffic
congestion.
And 90D,
gambling with dice.
24 is medical emergency.
Boring.
CJ.
Sorry. Have you ever been
in a car chase,
Detective Holloway? Not in 30 years.
And, before you ask,
no shootouts, either.Ah.
What do you do all day?
Mostly paperwork
and phone calls.
Sometimes I spend
the day in court.
Being a cop is...
98% tedium,
Mm-hmm. Two percent terror.
Yeah, well,
it's the aftermath
of that two percent that
keeps me plenty busy at work.
Well, I can't
imagine what you see
down there in the morgue.Ugh. Now, recently
there was a case
where we
couldn't figure out
why a plane crashed,
until I discovered
that the pilot had
a drone lodged in his throat.
Well, last week, I had
to arrest a ghost.
[laughing]
What'd you have
to do that for?
Oh, because a poor lady...
She claimed it had broken
into her apartment.
That was a nice thing to do.
HOLLOWAY:
Eh, what can I say?
I'm a nice guy.
Okay, nice guy.
Recently,
we pulled a body
from Lake Pontchartrain.
Had it in my fridge
for about an hour
when I heard a tapping
from inside.
Don't tell me
he was alive? A crab had hitched
a ride inside him
and wanted out.
[Wade and Holloway chuckle]
What'd you do
with the crab? Oh, I took him back
to the lake.
Au revoir, crabe.
[both speaking French]
[laughs]
GREGORIO: What's that new
batch of stuff Sebastian gave you?
It's the Greek doctor's
social media.
And my Greek is rustier
than my Albanian.
But it seems like
he travels a lot.
Volunteered at a bunch
of different clinics
around the Mediterranean
treating illnesses.
It's hard to believe
this woman killed anybody,
she's so boring.
You find a lot of people boring.
I mean...
people are pretty predictable.
You're looking for someone
who can surprise you?
Are we still talking
about the assassin?
Because I'm definitely not
looking for her to surprise me.
I'm talking about Alyson.
Think she's on the phone
in there?
Hey, Patton,
get any signal
inside the room? And I wasn't
getting bored of Alyson.
I'm a profiler...
I can predict
how a relationship
is about to end,
and we were headed for a crash.
Why?
Negative. No signal in or out.
Her family was coming into town,
she wanted to introduce me.
That means she wants
to get serious.
Okay, maybe they
were just visiting,
she thought
it'd be fun.
Did you talk to
her about it?
I didn't have to.
I can see the signs.
We would have
started fighting,
and it would have ended anyway.
Why wait?
Oh, that sounds
like you're focusing
on what could go wrong
in a relationship
instead of what
could go right. Why the hell
would I take advice from a woman
who refuses to date?
[laughs]
That's fair.
But how about
taking advice
from a friend
who wants you to be happy? I'm not looking
for anything serious right now.
Just leave it.
You just haven't met
the right person. No,
it's complicated, Hannah,
it's very complicated.
Even when I meet
the right person,
even if I met the right person
right now...
Just forget it. Please.
What do you mean?
[sighs]
Oh.
Okay, Eagle's on the move.
Let's go.
Come on, Barbara Walters,
let's go.
[reading Greek]
Shushice River.
Come on, pick up, pick up.
[computer dings]
Make it quick, Sebastian.
She's on the move. Pride,
it's mercury poisoning.
What is? SEBASTIAN: Our banker worked
for Infinity Plastics.
They have a PVC factory
in Albania
on the Shushice River.
Our doctor went
to this Albanian mountain town
to treat people.
And Lieutenant Simone...
She found the dying seabass
just off the coast here.
Infinity's dumping something
into the river. Yeah,
mercury.
They use it to make their pipes.
What's the connection
to New Orleans?
She... she chose
to come back here. I think it's because.
Infinity Plastics used to have
a PVC factory
just outside the city.
Used to?
They shut it down
three years ago.
Three years ago.
Right when our mystery woman
popped up on the scene.
She was caught
following three people
who had incriminating evidence
against Infinity Plastics.
Yeah, three people
who were murdered.
But now she has
their evidence.
And-and she hasn't
destroyed it yet, so...
Why not?
'Cause we got this all wrong.
♪
Who the hell are you?
Why are you following me?
Easy, now.
I'm with NCIS...
You work with Infinity
Plastics, don't you? No.
Federal agent!
Drop your weapon!
It's okay, Hannah!
Hannah, it's okay.
Hey.
We're not with
Infinity.
We're on your side.
I'm gonna need you
to relax now, please.
PRIDE:
We thought you were
an assassin,
but you're not.
We know
you're-you're just...
trying to stop Infinity Plastics
from hurting
any more people.
Let us help you. How do I know
you're telling the truth?
I'm gonna show you
my credentials,
if that's okay.
Okay.
Now, I'm gonna
need you
to point that thing
somewhere else, all right?
My son.
Nicholas.
Died three years ago.
He loved the outdoors.
He'd swim in the river
that ran through our property.
When the doctors
finally diagnosed him,
it was too late.
I'm sorry.
Losing a child
is...
Nothing harder than that.
The Infinity
Plastics factory
had been dumping mercury
into the groundwater.
But by the time
I could prove it,
they paid off inspectors
and shut the plant down.
So you went undercover just
to bring them to justice.
My husband...
my ex-husband
said I was obsessed, but I knew
they had to be stopped.
I've been a legal
investigator,
I know how to find information,
so I had a friend
set me up with some
false IDs so I could.
Three years is
a long time to be on the run.
Well, it certainly wasn't
time wasted... depositions,
medical files,
research papers.
This is
a really compelling case.
No.
All I've done is get
three brave people killed.
Well, their deaths
won't be for nothing.
But you're gonna have
to help us find
the person who did this.
I don't know who it is.
I-I just...
I knew Infinity
was after me.
That's why I came back home.
Well, who were you
on your way to meet with?
Helen Long.
A newspaper editor
who's helped
whistleblowers before. Okay,
call Helen, have her
meet us at our office.
I can't.
We agreed on radio silence
after setting the time
for the meet at Audubon Park.
Hence the destroyed SIM
card. Helen didn't want
to leave any trail
that could lead back
to us.
Well, if the assassin
followed you to New Orleans,
it's possible she knows
about this meet.
Then Helen's in danger, too.
I have to get to the park
and warn her.Whoa.
Hang on, hang on.
Can't let you do that.
I'll send NOPD to the house, see
if they can intercept her first.
Please. I can't have anybody
else's death on my conscience.
I'm sorry, but we don't know
anything about this assassin:
Where she's from,
what she looks like.
[gasps softly]
That's not true.
You know one thing.
You know her next target is me.
GREGORIO:
It's too risky.
HANNAH:
Well, we can't let Karla
use herself as bait...
There's got to be another way.
Well, I can go in as a decoy,
pretend I'm Karla.
No, no, no. The
assassin's too good.
She'd know.
[sighs]Call Sebastian.
All right?
Have him meet you at the park.
Try to figure out where
the attack might come from.
On it, boss.
What are you thinking?
Well... we know
somebody's after her,
but they don't know we're here.
We have a tactical
advantage.
Hopefully that's enough.
HOLLOWAY:
And that's why it's integral
that our officers maintain
a connection with
their communities...
Stop the car!
[grunting]
[woman screaming]MAN: Give me your purse!
[siren wailing][screaming]
Stay in the car! Don't move!
Stay calm,
stay calm.
I'm a doctor.
Where are you hurt?
Oh, geez.
Oh, my.
You-You'll be okay.
It's gonna hurt like hell,
but you'll live.
Can I do anything?
What are you doing out
of the car?
I want to help. Okay,
she needs an ambulance.
Remember how the detective told
you about using dispatch? Go!
[crying]
This is 4320. Code 24.
Requesting an ambulance.
Um, Valence Street.
Just outside the cemetery.
Sit down.[groans]
10-4. EMT's en route.
Best ride-along ever.

Come on out.
♪ I woke up this morning
♪ I was feelin' so good
♪ Dancin' to the music

These trees make it tough

So attack will be coming

Could be any one

Well, at least we got NOPD
in plain clothes.
About half a dozen of them
helping with the search.
You close?
Yeah, we are.
How's it looking?
I mean, there's a band
and a sizeable crowd.
Perfect place for her
to blend in.
Any sign of Helen Long?
GREGORIO:
No sign of her yet.
Remember,
you may not be able
to see us,
but we'll be close by.
Not close enough
to tip off the assassin.
We need her to think
everything's going
according to plan.
She's gonna go for the bag.
You sure you're up for this?
She's already killed people.
Good people who wanted
to help me.
I have to stop her before
she hurts anybody else.
We'll be right behind you.
Show me what you're
working with!

She won't be able to hurt

And the evidence?
My team's digitizing it
as we speak.
Get everything over
to the U.S. Attorney.
Infinity Plastics
is going down.[sharp exhale]
That's all that matters.
Give us a second.
Your son...
He'd be so proud of you.
What you did was
incredibly brave.
After he died...
I was so afraid
I wouldn't be able
to move on.
All I could do was hide myself
away from everything.
That's understandable.
The thing is,
you can't hide forever.
I came to see that
the only way
past my fear
was to finally
confront it, so...
And it's all over now.
You can put your fear
behind you.
Go ahead, guys.
I know it's a lot
to process.
I mean, I know
these things happen.
I've seen it on TV
and stuff.
But that was, like, real.
As real as it gets.
Wish I could say it's something
you'll never see again,
but truth is, I don't know.
What I do know
is you handled it.
I'm proud of you, CJ.
Well, I couldn't just sit there
and do nothing.
That woman needed help.
Because of you,
she got it a lot faster.
You did good.
I suppose you'll be thinking
about going into
law enforcement now.
Actually, I don't
want to be a cop.
I want to be a doctor.
You do?
Mom, you saved
that woman's life.
Oh, boy.
[chuckles]
You leaving without
saying goodbye?
Oh, I figured you had a lot
of paperwork after today.
Oh, well, that can wait.
I, um, was just wondering
if, uh, tomorrow night
you wanted to grab some dinner.
To go over
today's events.
Uh...
if you don't mind being seen
with an old detective
like myself.
Well, I have never seen
an old detective
run as fast as you do.[Holloway chuckles]
Is that a yes?
Yes, I'd enjoy that
very much.
[speaks French]
Look after her, son.
Okay.
Wait. Don't you
need her number?
Oh, now, if he's half as good
as the stories he tells,
I'm sure he'll find it.
[Gregorio sighs]
Someone was awfully
quiet on the ride home.
Sorry.
I was thinking.
HANNAH:
About?
Our conversation.
Look, I'm really sorry, okay?
I overstepped.
It is none of my business
who you date.
You know what?
I really do want to be
in a serious relationship.
Eventually. Are we...
are we talking about Alyson?
'Cause I really miss her.
Yeah, we're talking about
Alyson. We're talking about
all of 'em, I guess.
It's just, the thing is
that if I do decide
to get serious one day, I'd...
I'd like for one of them
to meet my mom.
Your mom can't be that bad.
It's not that, Sebastian.
She doesn't know that I'm gay.
You know,
I never came out to her.
My dad died, we
would always fight,
and, um...
the timing was always off.So...
then your solution
is just to never have
a successful relationship?
I never really
thought that through.
You were
protecting yourself.
You deserve happiness.
Okay? Even if it's
not in a form
that your mom approves of.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you know,
if you happen to fall
for someone who has
a, like,
a deep love of baking...[chuckles]
Then I think that's someone
that your roommate
will approve of.
Thank you.
[knocking]
Come in.
Dwayne. Oh.
What a pleasant surprise.
Sorry to drop in
like this, Dr. Tanaka. No,
it's not a problem.
Come on in.
Um, I wasn't sure
I'd see you again
after our last session.
I wasn't either.
Last time we spoke, you said
if my sleep issues continued,
that there were some
innovative methods
that we could explore.
I take it the nightmares
haven't stopped.
Not just nightmares.
They're memories.
I tried to ignore 'em,
muscle through, but
it-it's not working.
Well, unfortunately,
ignoring the problem
is never a long-term solution.
Usually
makes things worse.
Friend of mine
said the same thing.
I haven't had a...
full night's sleep
in weeks.
I'm exhausted.
I just think it's time
I stop running
and confronted
whatever it is
that's haunting me.
Well, I am happy to help,
if I can.
I was hoping you'd say that.
