NCIS: New Orleans (2014–…): Season 6, Episode 5 - Spies & Lies - full transcript

It's unorthodox to
give a forensic result

to a family member.

I'm a federal agent. I can handle it.

You can. But should you?

There are a lot of reasons
this is a bad idea, Chris.

This investigation
being the least of them.

No one will blame you

or judge you for handing this off.

I appreciate your concern,

both of you, but I need to
find my brother's killers.

All right? I let him down.
I... got to square it.



The fire did superficial damage.

Because of the humidity of the area

where the body was placed,

there was ample tissue left

to ascertain that

he was stabbed three times.

Could it have been a fight gone wrong?

It's unlikely.

Vital organs were targeted.

In my professional
opinion, this was someone

who knew what they were doing

and had intent. Uh...

- The end would have come very quickly.
- You're thinking

it was an assassin?



I can't say for sure, but the suspect

had training, experience.

Did you find anything else

that might help us, Miss Loretta?

Uh, the body...

Cade was set on the ground

before the fire was set.

The condition of the skin

that was in contact with the ground

and protected from the flame...

indicates that,

uh, his body bled out someplace else

and then moved to the woods.

Christopher.

I'm good.

Well, I'm not.

Can I give you a hug?

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom ♪

♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang ♪

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom ♪

♪ How, how, how, how ♪

♪ Hey, hey ♪

♪ You gotta come on. ♪

No. No.

No.

No.

I'm-I'm sorry. I can't find him.

- Okay. Let's take a break.
- I want to keep going.

It's my fault Cade went to talk
to him in the first place.

It's not your fault.
It's the fault of a guy

that got you caught up in
something illegal to begin with.

Isn't there an easier way
that we could find him?

There was a security camera at the park,

but someone vandalized it.

Probably because of the business
that was going on there.

Can't we just hack into all
the kids' phones or something?

Without a warrant, which we
have no way to get right now,

that would be illegal.

Will is halfway to a great idea.

How'd you get these?

Oh, it's called geotagging.

These kids put their
entire lives online.

I just did a social media search
for the basketball court.

Will, see if you can identify
Shorty in any of those pictures.

Stop.

The guy in the back with the cell phone.

That's Shorty.

- Nice work.
- All right, I'll get with Patton,

- start facial recognition.
- Yeah.

- I helped?
- Yeah. Enough to earn you a donut.

Come on.

You folks have a walk-in.

I'm, uh, Lieutenant Landry,

Aviation Maintenance Duty
Officer out of Stennis,

Special Projects.

And I'm Special Agent Hannah
Khoury. How can we help you?

I'm working on a top
secret project and, um...

Uh...

This-this was a bad idea. I'm so sorry.

No. Something brought you in
here, something important.

Yes, uh, but it's complicated.

Well...

whatever it is, it's probably
better that you to come to us

instead of wait until
we come and find you.

I just... I-I just don't
want it to be true.

You don't want what to be true?

I think my girlfriend is spying on me.

Thank you.

Her name's Rina Rollins.

She's funny and smart and driven.

Yeah, she makes me laugh.

She's kind sometimes and other
times she's as tough as nails.

From the moment we first met,

it was like we were
meant for each other.

That's great, but we need
to know a little bit more

about why you think she might be spying.

I found these photos on her laptop.

What were you doing on her laptop?

I-I was trying to take
a look at her schedule.

I was, uh...

going to propose to her
and I wanted to make sure

I picked a good evening
for us to go out.

Yeah.

What's this a photo of?

It's a page from the manual
for the room-temperature

superconductor we're both working on.

- Whoa.
- I'm guessing the super thing

has military value?

Yeah, I mean, this-this
could pave the way

for-for sustainable energy,

artificial intelligence,
quantum computers.

Right? Magnetic levitation trains.

I mean, if someone can make
this work, i-it'll be huge.

- Yeah.
- Well, if she has

top secret clearance,
then what's the problem?

She doesn't.

Rina's tasked to develop
the emission system,

which doesn't require a clearance.

I'm writing the manual for the
machine itself, which does.

So then she got these images from you?

I-I know how this looks.

But there are a lot of other ways

she could have gotten these photos.

Maybe she borrowed a
flash drive or maybe

I accidentally put
them on a cloud folder.

Would you be that sloppy
with top secret information?

Look,

I have my regularly-scheduled
polygraph next week,

and I don't want to fail it
because of my suspicions.

I just want you to prove
Rina's clean so I can

pass my test and ask her

to spend the rest of her life with me.

First comes love, then comes polygraph.

Those pictures shouldn't be anywhere

but on a secure system or a laptop.

But that isn't enough to
make a definitive judgement.

If we got her computer, we could
put this to bed really quickly.

Yeah, if the girlfriend is spying,

we need to try and get to her handlers.

We should keep her in the
dark as long as possible.

You know, we can't keep him if
he gets spooked and wants to go.

You think he's gonna be able
to handle the pressure?

He loves her. It's hard to know.

Ah.

Okay, Patton got a hit on Shorty.

Real name is Charles Goggins.

He lives in Mobile.

Go ahead.

We can handle this.

Yeah. I know you can.

Thanks. We, uh...

We need to have Lasalle's
back on this one.

What's your gut saying?

Well, they knew right away they
were perfect for each other

because she researched and crafted

the perfect personality to lure him in.

That's cynical, even for you.

Yeah, because I've been there.

My so very wrong for me ex-husband

didn't do anything he hadn't
perfectly planned first.

This is gonna up the same way.

Look, if anyone if there's
anyone who has reason to believe

that the person they're
dating is holding

some sort of terrible
secret, then it's me.

Are you talking about

your high school girlfriend
who unknowingly

showed up in business with your...

No, no. He's talking about
the one who needed our help

to find the pirate treasure
so she could steal it.

I'm actually... I'm talking about the

one who turned out to be a British spy,

but it's fine. Whatever.

The point is that this
job... I feel like

sometimes it can just...
it can rob us of all hope

and-and wonder and...

you know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, I change my mind.

My gut instinct is I'm full
of hope and wonder.

Okay, get with Patton,

build a digital map on Rina Rollins.

See if it jives with what, uh,

lover boy has to say about her.

- Okay.
- Okay.

_

- Chris, before we go in...
- I know.

I know, all right? The main
concern is crafting a case

that holds for Cade. By the book.

You're already investigating
your own brother's murder.

We're way off-book.

So I need to be sure...

Pride, I can do this.

All right?

So let me.

Okay.

Once we clear a path to the backyard,

we should split up to keep it covered.

I'll take the front.

What do you think you're
doing in my backyard?

I'm NCIS.

Special Agent Christopher Lasalle.

NCIS? What the heck is that?

Are you Charles Goggins?

You probably already know that.

Are you alone?

Why would you ask that?

'Cause you sound like you're
from some fake agency

and you look like you're
some kind of scam artist.

I'm here on a homicide investigation.

Does the name Cade Lasalle ring a bell?

He would have come to
you trying to get a kid

named Will out of your racket.

Pride, he's rabbiting!

- Did you kill my brother? Huh?
- No! No! I...

- Did you kill my brother?!
- I didn't kill anybody.

- Huh? Tell me! Tell me about it!
- Chris, hey!

Did you kill him? Tell me
what you know about Cade!

Chris. Chris. He's not resisting. Chris.

- What'd you do to Cade?
- Please.

- Not in front of my little girl.
- Huh? Why you...

We need him to talk to us.

All right, get off him so he can talk.

- Tell him you'll talk, Charles.
- I will.

- I will.
- Come on.

Get up, get up.

I didn't kill your brother.

I told you.

All right.

I wasn't listening earlier.

I'm listening now.

Why don't you start when
Cade first contacted you.

He found me.

Said that kid pointed me out.

Will?

I guess. Look,

these kids who get involved with
me, they mostly don't have dads.

They come to me to
make a couple of bucks

so they feel like they're
helping out at home.

They don't ask me questions,
I don't ask them questions.

Look, I don't care about
your drug operation.

Tell me about Cade.

He wanted to get Will out of this thing.

Said he was willing
to pay to get it done.

- Pay?
- To make good.

Will lost a package. That's not okay.

A package isn't worth a man's life.

So, Cade came to you.

What'd you do?

I gave him a phone.
What else could I do?

He said he was gonna
involve some federal agent.

Me.

I'm that federal agent.

So you thought it'd be better to
leave law enforcement out of it?

For sure. If he could work it out

with the bosses and
everybody walked away happy,

I saw that as a happy ending.

- Instead, you got a man killed.
- Not the way I see it.

Way I see it, he got himself killed.

So you're just the phone guy.

You get batches of phones,
and you gave one to Cade.

That's it, man.

That's all.

So was the phone

that you gave him out of this batch?

Rina Rollins.

More sexy librarian than red sparrow.

Yeah, she's got a doctorate
in energy systems

and climate change,
and during her studies,

she volunteered in Africa
working with an NGO to install

solar water purification systems.

So, in short, she's totally cool

and doesn't sound nefarious in any way.

Well, the water project was in Uganda,

which has ties to the Russian regime.

And if she did spend all those years

getting a doctorate in climate change,

she probably isn't too pleased

that our government isn't
doing much about it.

Not to mention all the
applications Sebastian told us

the machine is capable of.

I mean, it's worth hundreds of millions,

if not billions, it's good
enough reasons to dupe a guy.

Yeah, way to go with the
hope and wonder there, guys.

Patton, did you get everything you could

- from her car and her phone?
- Yeah.

Okay, well, then,

you guys know what to do.

We accessed Rina's phone and car records

to put together a digital
map of Rina's movements.

Movements?

That seems illegal and
incredibly intrusive.

Well, she signed a Navy contract

to work on sensitive information,

and that includes giving us permission

to scrutinize things like this.

Well, yeah, but we don't know
that she did anything wrong.

Look, I get that you're
being protective, okay?

It's just we... I mean,
we got to run this down.

I shouldn't have come to you guys.

What-what if I-if I just talk to her?

It's too late for that.

If you leave now,

we'll have no choice
but to go to her directly.

She'll never forgive me.

Then let's hope the
pictures on her computer

are nothing to be worried about.

What does she tell you
she does after work?

What do you mean, "tell me"?

You're treating this like
she's already guilty.

After work, she goes to the gym,

and if it's a night we're
spending together, which is

most nights, we take turns going
shopping and making dinner.

How many nights do you guys
spend together versus apart?

We are together every night.

Except for the Thursday exception.

What's that?

When we started to get serious,

she suggested we carve
out Thursdays as a day

where we can spend time alone

or separately with friends.

I mean, three weeks out of four,
we just end up together anyway.

So, wait, on a monthly basis,

she has a night where you're
not allowed to question her?

I-I'm allowed.

- Do you?
- I wanted her to feel

- like I trusted her.
- Max.

Today is Thursday.

What is she doing after work?

There's no backing out now, Lieutenant.

She's meeting some friends

in the Quarter for an early dinner.

Chris, you said that you were okay...

- and you weren't.
- I know. And I'm sorry.

You're lucky he tried to run.

Otherwise, we might've...

Compromised the case. Look, I get it.

No, let me finish, Christopher,

because we played it your way,
and we almost got burned.

We need to focus on getting justice,

which means no mistakes.

Are you two okay?

We're fine, Miss Rose.

Pride's pointing out the fact

that I'm not being as
professional as he'd like.

Of course you're not.
You lost your brother.

And it hasn't been that long

since we lost your father.

Sorry, I need to... I need to check in.

Excuse me.

Long as Dwayne's known you,

I would think he'd have
figured out the quickest way

to upset a Lasalle

is to hint he might not be up to a task,

isn't that right?

But you know that's
not what he's saying.

He cares about you. We all do.

I know it.

I know he's right, too.

I let my anger take over today.

But something else is bothering me.

What's bothering you, Chris?

Cade had a whole life going.

Something real.

Kelly, his girlfriend.

Her son, Will.

I didn't even know him.

That's because he reached out to you

from a place of trouble so many times.

He wanted to take care of
what was going on himself,

and prove to you how
much he had changed.

You understand that?

I'm trying.

Patton got a hit on Goggins' phone guy.

Sorry, Miss Rose.

It's all right.

Go find out who killed my boy,

so we can get busy

healing the family we've got left.

This is the best Patton could do?

He got us a match

to the location where the
cell phones were bought.

Not his fault the store
has old security cameras.

It's just...

if we don't find this dude
who bought the phones,

how's he gonna lead us to
whoever Cade talked to?

We're not gonna give up, Chris.

No matter what this guy
does or doesn't tell us.

I messed up.

Big-time.

I take your feedback to heart,

and...

I want you to know that.

What happened earlier today...

it won't happen again.

Thank you...

for having my back.

Always.

I spent years

thinking about my dad,

all the ways he failed me.

But to make my life work,

I had to figure out a way
to forgive him some things

and make peace with the rest of it.

And the truth is,

who he was

made me who I am.

All those miles you and
Cade walked together

helped form him.

Made it possible for him

to make a life for himself,
despite real challenges.

Well, maybe this isn't
such a bad photo after all.

Excuse me.

NCIS, Special A...

Crap!

We got lucky, and...

then he got lucky.

I was so close.

Well...

at least he left behind
what let's hope is

a key piece of evidence.

Huh?

Come on, let's get it back
to Sebastian immediately.

I just... I don't think that
spies have that many friends.

Sure they do.

But they don't enjoy them like that.

This whole "hope and wonder" thing...

- what's it all about?
- Huh? Oh. Yeah, I... You know.

It's just... I'm in my 30s,

living with my best
friend. Which is great.

- It's great.
- It's totally great.

But?

But, you know,

I think I want more, eventually.

I guess. I don't know.
I don't want to be

a-a grumpy old man living
with a grumpy old woman.

What?

You're a grumpy young woman,

you're gonna be a grumpy old woman.

- You can't deny that.
- You're rude.

I'm sorry.

So you want to believe that
there's a true love story here

so that there's still a true
love story ahead for you?

- Yes. Exactly. Is that so wrong?
- Okay. No.

You know, can't a guy
root for a happy ending?

Sure. It's fine.

All right. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Even though she's walking
in the opposite direction

- of her car right now.
- What...

Damn it.

- I'll go on foot.
- All right.

I'll get ahead of her in the car.

She just got in

a red and white pedicab
heading your way.

Okay, I'm on it.

She just made a drop. I'm moving in.

Hey! Rina Rollins!

Federal agents! Hands up!

- Get down.
- You're making a mistake.

Oh, yeah?

Well, whatever you were
trying to pass off on this

was the mistake.

Sorry that took so long.

I was busy arresting a suspected spy.

So the boyfriend was
right to be suspicious?

Oh, yeah, photos from the manual,

secret drop, hidden flash
drive, it's not looking good.

- All right, well, thanks for coming.
- Yeah.

We got this backpack off the
main suspect in Lasalle's case.

Okay. Well, let's hope it's
not just filled with homework.

Oh. What is that?

Sebastian,

could fentanyl be in the bag?

I don't know, it c...

Hey, hey! Get me a Narcan shot now.

- Go!
- Hold on, Sebastian, hold on.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, it wasn't, like, a-a
head injury kind of fainting.

No, a mere overdose kind of fainting

from fentanyl-laced stickers.

I'm fine. Really. I am.
I-I want to help Lasalle.

I can do that all from
a-a seated position

Look, I'm glad my team is gung ho,

but I think I need to have a talk

with all of you about self-care.

Yeah, that'll go well.

Little pot calling the kettle black?

Feel like that's a trick question.

Looks like Wade was right.

The stickers are a transdermal
system for synthetic opioids.

So getting high has never been easier.

I ran a search on the stickers.

Found reports of overdoses

all along the Gulf Coast
going back months.

Oh, here we go.

'Cause this is a synthetic
opioid, I thought that maybe it,

uh, came from somewhere else,
and looks like I was right.

The molecular analysis
matches a drug baseline

for a patent application.

From a lab in Alabama.

That can't be a coincidence.

They were patenting

a less addictive synthetic opioid?

Yeah. Identifying what
made it less addictive

allowed the network
to adjust the formula

for their synthetic fentanyl,
make it more addictive.

And deadly. Ruining lives for profit.

And it looks like Cade got in the way.

Send me the details on the patent.

I'll drop by the lab on
my way back to Alabama.

See if they've got any idea
who stole their formula.

I want to talk to Max, please.

I can't let it end like this.

Oh, honey, this is just
the beginning for you.

You need to talk to us
before you talk to Max.

That's if he wants to
talk to you at all.

- He'll never forgive me.
- Why should he?

- You used him.
- That's not what happened.

Please, I need to talk to him.

And we need to know who
told you to target Max,

who you were leaving the USB for,

and how much damage you've already done

to the superconductor project.

Look, I was spying,

but I was forced to.

And my relationship with Max is real.

I was never told to target
him. He was a surprise.

Okay.

We're listening.

I went to Uganda for my doctoral thesis,

a water purification system.

Yeah, we know that.

I was approached by this guy.

He said he worked for a NGO.

He was upset that the company I was

working with was keeping
their patent secret,

just because they wanted
to make more money.

I mean, we were in

a part of the world where
people are suffering.

Probably bought you a few
drinks, had so much in common.

Said all the things you wanted to hear.

He made a lot of sense.

Made me feel like I'd be
a hero if I helped him.

He just wanted a peek at
the engineering plans.

And so you committed
industrial espionage.

And as soon as you helped,

the guy who seemed normal
turned out to be working

- for a foreign government.
- I'm gonna guess Russia.

And threatened to turn you in if
you didn't pull another mission.

- You make it sound like...
- It happens all the time.

It does.

And then you took what he did to you

and you did it to Max.
It's not that complicated.

The Russians forced me to
apply for this Navy contract.

I got the job.

I didn't want to spy,

but I was scared of spending
the rest of my life in prison.

You were scared?

You weren't scared enough
to turn yourself in

and work this out, right?

I thought about it.

But then I met Max,

and it was like we were
made for each other.

And then I had even more to lose.

It's a nice story,

but we have a USB filled with

classified information that you
passed along to your handlers.

Not exactly.

I manipulated the images,
fed them false intel.

Max's machine is safe.

You tricked the Russians.

Just trying to buy time.

Figure out how to get out
from underneath their thumb,

but then time ran out.

Please...

let Max know how sorry I am.

Okay.

I want you to write down
everything you can remember,

including the name of all your handlers

and how you contacted them.

What's your gut telling you now?

She's a highly intelligent woman

who just admitted to doing
a string of dumb stuff.

That doesn't mean she
isn't telling the truth.

Doesn't mean she is either.

Okay, fair enough.

I'm thoroughly confused
myself at this point.

The only thing we're sure of is the USB.

I'll run it up the flagpole

in case the project
has been compromised.

All right, I'll bring it to Patton
to analyze what's on the drive.

Okay.

Morning.

Oh, didn't mean to startle you.

I'm, uh...

A thousand miles away?

More like a thousand years.

Ah. Lost in memories.

I know the feeling.

I'd say a cup of coffee will
bring you back to the present,

but you don't indulge.

I know it's hard, sweetheart.

Harder than I thought it would be.

When this is over,

come back home

and we'll honor him properly.

Neither of us should
go through this alone.

Excuse me. Let myself in.

Miss Rose, you mind if I borrow
Christopher for a minute?

Please.

I hope you had breakfast already
'cause we got work to do.

You run down the patent
holder on the fentanyl

- from the backpack?
- I did.

Dropped in on Dr. Francie Neary

early this morning on my way here.

She was very forthcoming

once I told her her
patent was being used

to deal illegal narcotics.

- She have an idea who stole the patent?
- She had someone

who came to mind immediately...

a disgruntled lab assistant
who'd been fired for negligence.

You get a name?

Name, address, phone number,

social security, license plate number,

and a picture of Stan Jenkins.

Let's go get him.

Hey.

Good you're all here.
We got a major problem.

Dude, you're not supposed to let

- people in custody out.
- I think she needs to see this.

I mirrored Rina's smartphone to monitor

incoming communication,
and she just got this.

Oh, no.

Rina,

you've been a naughty girl.
When you signaled a drop

and there wasn't anything
there, we took a closer look

at the information
you've been passing us.

Shhh. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

We want all the real,
undoctored information

by this afternoon,

and I think the "or else"

is pretty obvious.

I knew it was just a matter of time

before my handlers found out
I was passing bad information.

Did you think they were gonna do this?

No. I thought they'd take it out on me.

They probably would've if I wasn't here.

- There is good news here.
- What?

They don't know about us.

I don't think they knew
you were picked up.

Well, then we got to set
a meeting immediately,

before they figure out that we got her.

I love Max.

Trade me for him.

That is not how this works.

We can't just turn over
somebody in our custody

to be murdered by the Russians.

I don't care

what happens to me.

Max is the good guy here.

Save him.

The superconductor needs him.

We can do this, Hannah.

We know who we're looking for.

They don't know we're looking.

Please.

Okay.

I'll double-check with Pride.

But you have to do

exactly what we say.

We followed Stan
Jenkins to that warehouse.

He entered roughly 20 minutes ago.

Clearly, the suspect
we tried to apprehend

outside the convenience store

let them know we were on their trail.

They knew the moment
we found the stickers

in his backpack,

it would just be a matter of
time before we found the lab.

So we're talking possible
flammable materials inside,

and suspects who may have killed before?

Correct.

- We got it.
- And there's one more thing.

We need Jenkins alive.

He has critical information
about my brother's murder.

We have questions only he can answer.

I'll show the guys.

Mobile Police.

Federal agents! Get your hands up!

Drop it!

Easy. Hands on the truck.

Jenkins!

Jenkins! Come out with your hands up!

We got you surrounded!

Put it down!

- Drop your weapon!
- No.

No! No!

Hold your fire! Federal agent!

Jenkins!

No. Jenkins.

Come on, Jenkins.

Who killed my brother? Who killed Cade?

- He's gone.
- Jenkins!

Chris, he's...

he's gone.

Play it one more time.

At exactly 11:48, you
will get on the first elevator

and press the button for the top floor.

We will handle everything from there.

Yes, sir. Can you tell Max that...

W-What's so special

- about the first elevator?
- Nothing.

They just want to know
exactly where she is

so they can meet her on
any floor they choose.

Right. And an elevator's contained,

so it can't be watched from the outside.

Guys, involving Rina's too dangerous.

I don't care.

Pride and I think it's our best option.

NOPD's gonna help us

with surveillance
inside the hotel itself.

This can go bad in a lot of ways.

If it does,

can you tell Max everything that I said?

That I would've

said yes when he asked me?

We're gonna let you tell him yourself.

I'm so sorry.

Please, don't do this.

It's too late.

I'm sorry.

They told me everything.

But I just wish I heard it from you.

I'm glad you finally saw

the error in your ways.

You're free to go.

For now.

What happens now?

I don't know. I just
know there's no time.

But please believe me
when I say I love you.

Drop your weapon.

Rina, I...

never imagined I would be

doing this here, but...

Rina Rollins...

Aw!

Will you marry me?

- Yes.
- Yeah?

- Yeah?
- Yes, of course!

You happy now?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I spoke to CSU.

The lab equipment they're
seizing is worth millions.

How does that help me
find Cade's killers?

It means Jenkins wasn't the
last rung on this ladder.

No way he could finance all this.

He's working for someone.

- Back to square one again.
- Chris.

Come on. We're gonna do what we do.

Okay.

Run me through what you
think we still have.

Stan Jenkins was fired from
his job over a year ago

and there's no record of
employment since then.

So it'd be impossible for him

to finance a drug lab out of thin air.

Which means we have a new prime suspect:

someone who could have killed Cade

to protect their investment.

Special Agents Pride and Lasalle.

- What's up, Officer?
- Just got a call

from the main station. Someone showed up

saying he wants to confess
to your brother's murder.

- _
- And he called me

on the burner phone
an associate gave him,

said that he wanted to
pay off Will's debt.

So I arranged to meet with him.

Once he'd handed over the money, I...

I stuck him.

Three times,

aiming for vital organs.

I wanted to get done quick.

And then what?

Set the body on fire,

hide the evidence.

But I can't live with what I did.

I can't eat, I can't sleep.

I'm so sorry.

I just want this to be over with.

Why did you kill Cade Lasalle?

Every cent I had was sunk into that lab.

- I was afraid he was gonna get...
- This makes no sense.

Do you really think he has the money

- to spend on that lab?
- I don't know.

How about a history of violence...

has he ever done anything
like this before?

No. He's mostly been picked
up on drug-related offenses.

This stinks, Mr. Walsh.

We haven't analyzed the knife yet.

But if that is your brother's blood

and those are Mr. Dolan's fingerprints,

then I don't see why
I need to be looking

for somebody else to
charge with this crime.

I've been an investigator
for a long time.

I know when someone sounds coached.

I appreciate your experience,

but this is now under my
purview now, Special Agent.

And if he didn't do it,

and the person who did
is still out there?

I understand this has
been difficult for you.

But you need to understand
that you've made my job

more difficult by involving
yourself in this investigation.

You need to back off.

I'll keep you updated.

Look, I know that Rina is
guilty of industrial espionage,

I know she's got to go to jail.

- Yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
- I know, I know.

I just hope the fact
that she didn't actually

turn over any classified intel,

helped rescue Max and got
her handlers arrested,

you know, I hope that helps
keep her sentence low.

Yeah,

well, I'm gonna write a
letter to the judge, so...

Yeah, me, too.

Yeah.

You think Max is gonna wait for her?

Do you really want to know what I think?

Uh... Y-Yeah.

Yeah.

I do think he's gonna wait for her.

Because I think the best things
in life are worth waiting for.

Aw.

Well, what about you?
You think there's anyone

still out there for you?

Maybe.

But right now, I'm happy as I am.

- Yeah.
- But I do think

there's someone great out there waiting

for a wonderful, smart, funny guy

- to come into her life.
- Me?

- You.
- Yeah.

And when that happens...

you're gonna have to
fight me for our house,

'cause it's a sick house and I want it.

- I bought the house.
- Yeah, but I pay just as much rent.

You're my tenant. That's how that...

Yeah, but you get the cool girl.

You could have a cool girl, too.

You just said you're happy as you are.

- I'm just gonna chill...
- Now I'm annoyed. Get out of my face.

That guy's a minion. You know that.

He's got bosses, I agree.

Yeah, but the D.A. doesn't care.

He just sees an easy
conviction, and that's it.

I know, Christopher.

So what are we gonna do about it?

Well, I think that Dolan's
bosses put him up

to the confession thinking that
we'd stop going after them.

And?

And I think they achieved
the exact opposite.

You and I aren't going anywhere.

We're still on this case, and
we're gonna stay on this case

until we find out what
really happened to Cade

and then we're gonna make them pay.

That's why you're the King.

Amsterdam", next on Global.
