00:00I think you're assigned to the background check unit.
00:02You'll be doing background checks
00:03on potential federal employees.
00:05These are your coloring books,
00:08officially known as a probationary new agent handbook.
00:11All the mandatory tasks rookies must complete.
00:14You have 30 seconds to explain
00:16why you have abandoned your post.
00:18Oliver, it's my fault.
00:20You can't just poach my people.
00:22♪♪
00:27♪♪
00:33Oh, my God. I cannot believe he did that.
00:35If brains were taxed, that man would get a refund.
00:38Avery, you are so bad.
00:40Yeah. Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:41Bye. Bye.
00:43♪♪
00:48♪♪
00:54♪♪
01:00♪♪
01:05Aah!
01:07♪♪
01:12Don't step in the broken glass.
01:14♪♪
01:17Now, remember, hard and fast.
01:19Her neck has to snap with a single blow,
01:21like she slipped and fell.
01:23Three, two, one.
01:31♪♪
01:36Good morning, dream team.
01:38What's up, cute thing?
01:40What is up is that you and Simone
01:42have fallen behind on your coloring books.
01:44Oh.
01:45That's because we've been out saving the world.
01:47Well, doesn't matter.
01:48Rules are rules in the bureau.
01:50No exceptions.
01:51If you two don't complete every task
01:52by the end of your probationary period,
01:54no amount of heroics will keep you in the FBI.
01:57Oh.
01:58Today, we're checking off lower-profile items.
02:00Brendan, you're going on a burn run.
02:01A burn what?
02:02You and Laura are gonna follow a truck
02:04with old evidence from adjudicated cases
02:06to a burn site to be destroyed.
02:08The bureau requires that agents oversee that procedure, so...
02:10That sounds, uh... Boring?
02:12Yes, it is.
02:13Why are you so happy?
02:14Because I am. All right.
02:15Let's get to it.
02:18Okay, boss, well, what about me?
02:20What is my assignment?
02:22Inventory.
02:23Every item that the bureau issues its employees
02:25needs to be accounted for on a quarterly basis.
02:27We're talking phones, computers, weapons, even staplers.
02:31Everybody hates inventory day.
02:33You're gonna get loads of hell.
02:36Well, why are you smiling?
02:38You have to do it with me.
02:39Wrong.
02:40Inventory takes place within the FBI office,
02:43therefore requires no adult supervision.
02:45You will be flying solo in this.
02:47Now, it takes some personal time.
02:49Well, why'd you even come in?
02:50To see the look on your face.
02:52Yep, that's the one.
02:55Ha ha ha ha ha!
03:01All right.
03:03I am about to crush this.
03:06My boss?
03:07He's not here.
03:08He's hiding from you in the bathroom.
03:10Agent Daniels, are you in there?
03:12No.
03:13Agent Daniels, I just need to get the VIN number
03:16from your bureau card.
03:18But you don't need to look at any pictures on it, right?
03:22No, just the serial number.
03:25No one touches my girl but me.
03:27No one.
03:29I don't have it.
03:30Meaning you left it at home?
03:31No, I mean, I just, it's...
03:33I can't find it.
03:34You lost your bureau card?
03:36And a bit of advice.
03:38Next time, keep your privates off your publics.
03:41I only need to touch your girl with my eyes
03:44to confirm the serial number.
03:46It's just, it's temporarily misplaced.
03:49Can you come back tomorrow?
03:50Honey, I gotta get this done today.
03:52I gotta do all the...
03:53I know you did not just close this door on me
03:55when I'm talking to you!
03:57Isn't burning evidence kind of a bad idea?
04:00I mean, what if the evidence is needed again down the line?
04:03No, it won't be.
04:04All the evidence on that truck belongs to cases
04:06that have gone through the appeals process,
04:08sentenced, settled, done.
04:10So we just sit there and watch it burn?
04:13Well, the burn site is a commercial business
04:16and the evidence is federal property,
04:18so we just, you know, babysit it until it transforms into ash.
04:21You can't possibly enjoy this.
04:23Plus, you let me drive, which is weird.
04:25What...
04:26What are you looking at?
04:27Oh, um...
04:30I'm buying a house.
04:32What?
04:33Oh, my God, that's amazing.
04:35Congratulations.
04:36Where is it?
04:37Uh, Culver City.
04:38Yeah, I just put the offer in last night,
04:40waiting to hear back from my realtor,
04:42so I need a task that requires zero brainpower.
04:45Let me see.
04:46Oh, wow, it's adorable.
04:49What does that mean?
04:51Nothing.
04:52You think it's small.
04:54No, I didn't say small.
04:56Cozy.
04:59Hey. Hey.
05:02So, I have the perfect day planned,
05:05starting with breakfast at the beach.
05:08Great.
05:10You okay?
05:11We're too tired.
05:12We can do something more low-key.
05:14No, I love the beach.
05:17It's just been a difficult shift.
05:19You lost a patient?
05:20No.
05:21The pill count in the pharmacy
05:22has been off every day for a week,
05:24and people are starting to point fingers.
05:26At me.
05:27What? Why you?
05:28Because I figured the apple
05:29doesn't fall far from the tree.
05:31That makes no sense.
05:32Your mom's not a drug dealer.
05:33She's a felon who runs a strip club.
05:35I love that you see the difference,
05:37but most people don't.
05:38Okay.
05:39What pills are going missing?
05:41Adderall oxyketamine.
05:43Admin has talked to LAPD,
05:44but it's a low priority for them.
05:46Well, you're a top priority for me,
05:48and I can't have this hanging over your head on our date,
05:50so I'm gonna solve this crime.
05:52No, this is not a crime.
05:55No, this fills beneath you.
05:57Title 21 gives the FBI permission
05:59to investigate controlled substances.
06:01Just have to call my boss for the okay.
06:03I do need one more thing to start my investigation.
06:06What?
06:07A smart, sexy partner.
06:10You know, the hospital and the employees,
06:12and I can't crack this case without you.
06:17Do I get a code name?
06:18Yeah.
06:19Trouble.
06:20Now, let's get started.
06:22Come on.
06:23Do I get a code name?
06:24I mean, in the movies, they always get code names.
06:26Ha! This ain't the movie.
06:30Good morning, Agent Baylor.
06:32You ever thought about hanging up some artwork in here?
06:35You know, liven up the place a bit.
06:38Probationary Special Agent Clark.
06:40That's me.
06:41Never thought I'd see your face in here again.
06:43Well, me neither, but I'm on inventory duty.
06:47Of gun, phone, laptop credentials,
06:49and buccar, correct?
06:51A complete list of my items
06:53and their corresponding serial numbers.
06:55Everyone, hand over your inventory cards
06:57to Special Agent Clark.
06:59Damn. Impressive.
07:01Well, the devil is in the details.
07:04You'd have learned that if you'd stayed here
07:06instead of jumping ship first chance you got.
07:17Ooh. This looks like fun.
07:20I wonder if they'll let me throw in a few.
07:22No, no, no. Stand down, Probie.
07:23Their job is to burn.
07:25Our job is to observe.
07:28Oh. I see.
07:30All right.
07:32Public corruption, 30 boxes.
07:35Intellectual property theft, 20 boxes.
07:39What?
07:40What?
07:41My offer didn't get accepted.
07:43I'm now in a bidding war with four other buyers.
07:46What's L.A. Real Estate for you?
07:48Apparently now I have to submit my best and final offer
07:50along with a letter to the homeowners.
07:52Not only do I have to overpay,
07:53but I have to kiss their asses.
07:54No, it's very common.
07:55I've been through this before.
07:56The homeowners, they want to be corded.
07:59You know, they don't just want your money.
08:00They want a good story.
08:02Okay, well, my story is in my credit score,
08:04my 30% down payment,
08:06and my pristine employment record.
08:07Yeah, no, that's all financial.
08:09You need to convince the homeowner
08:10that you love this house,
08:12that you're the only person
08:13who will take care of its legacy.
08:15Ugh, gag.
08:16Well, then, bye-bye, house.
08:17Fine.
08:19What do I need to do?
08:20What you do best.
08:22You profile them.
08:23You tell them exactly what they want to hear.
08:26Hey, Chuck.
08:28I'm Simone.
08:30I'm here to inventory
08:31all the unassigned apartment cell phones.
08:33I mean, if you could help me out
08:35and let me know where they are, I...
08:39Thanks.
08:43Are you going on a coffee run?
08:44Because if you are, I'll take a...
08:48What the...
08:57Hello?
08:58Who's this?
08:59Uh, who did you want it to be?
09:01Mike Jeffers.
09:02I don't know who that is, but I'm Simone.
09:04Then why'd you answer his phone?
09:06Because it was ringing.
09:07And you just happened to have an FBI agent's cell phone?
09:09I'm an FBI agent, too.
09:11But not the right one.
09:12I need to speak with Mike now.
09:14It's a matter of life and death.
09:15Okay.
09:16Sweetie, let me try to find him.
09:18Can you tell me your name?
09:20No.
09:23Do you know Special Agent Mike Jeffers?
09:25I did.
09:26He died a few months ago.
09:27Heart attack.
09:28So sad.
09:30Honey, I am so sorry to tell you this,
09:32but Jeffers passed away.
09:34What?
09:36No.
09:38I-I gotta go.
09:39No, no, no.
09:40You called him for a reason.
09:42Let me help you.
09:43Just forget it, okay?
09:44Okay.
09:45I-I know you don't know me from Eve,
09:48but you can trust me.
09:49If you were in a confidential relationship with Jeffers,
09:52you were most likely his CI,
09:54which means he looked the other way on some things.
09:57How am I doing so far?
09:58No comment.
09:59Trace the call for this highlighted number.
10:02I will honor the relationship you had with Jeffers 100%,
10:06and I will help you with this matter of life and death.
10:10I-I don't know.
10:11What are you so afraid of?
10:13I-I overheard something I wasn't supposed to last night,
10:17and I don't know what to do.
10:20What was that?
10:21What?
10:22I think there's someone in my house.
10:23Who's in your house?
10:25Tell me where you are, and I'll send help right away.
10:28I-I don't know who they are.
10:29They must have found out that I...
10:32Aah!
10:33Hello?
10:34H-Hello?
10:36Damn it.
10:37Did you trace the number?
10:39No, go. It's a burner.
10:40No name or address attached.
10:42Boss?
10:43Yeah.
10:44I got a situation.
10:45Oh, no. No, you don't.
10:46You are on inventory duty,
10:47and that is the antithesis of a situation.
10:49Well, yeah, but a phone I was inventorying
10:51belonged to Agent Jeffers.
10:53His CI called.
10:54She's in trouble,
10:55but she hung up before I could get an aid.
10:57She says someone was in her house.
10:59I'm not sure this isn't you
11:00just desperately searching for a way out of inventory duty.
11:03No, sir.
11:05Jeffers' former partner is Oliver Baylor.
11:07Go talk to him.
11:08Baylor?
11:13Twice in one day.
11:15What a treat.
11:16Sir, I need to speak to you
11:17about an unidentified source
11:19that belonged to one of your former partners.
11:22Which one?
11:23Mike Jeffers.
11:24A woman called his old phone,
11:27and she said it was a matter of life and death,
11:29and that's why he hung up.
11:31Nope.
11:32Sir?
11:33The late Special Agent Jeffers and I
11:35parted ways over a year ago.
11:37He had dozens of CIs.
11:39Well, how many of them were women?
11:41A few.
11:43I'm sure I have no idea which one she is.
11:45Maybe you do.
11:46Okay, this woman,
11:47her voice sounded sophisticated,
11:50almost like the attitude you would have
11:52if you were rich.
11:54I don't know.
11:55I don't know.
11:56I don't know.
11:57I don't know.
11:58I don't know.
12:00Gracie Hunt.
12:01She runs an illegal poker game
12:03for high rollers out of her home in Brentwood.
12:06I'm going.
12:07Please call LAPD and have them meet me there.
12:10You're a probationary agent.
12:12You need a senior agent with you.
12:14Then come on.
12:15Gracie needs us.
12:16Uh...
12:18♪
12:29Gracie, get some help!
12:31♪
12:34Gracie?
12:36♪
12:41Damn it.
12:44She's dead.
12:46Maybe she called Mike hoping he'd talk her out of using.
12:48Hearing that he was dead pushed her over the edge.
12:51That doesn't track.
12:5320 minutes ago, this girl was yelling
12:56that there was an intruder in her house,
12:58and now she's OD'd?
13:00Something is not right.
13:02♪
13:06It had to be staged.
13:08We don't have nearly enough evidence to support that theory.
13:10Miss Hunt was in and out of rehab,
13:12so an accidental OD is possible.
13:14But not plausible.
13:16Were there any signs of a break-in?
13:18No, sir.
13:20And even if it is a murder, it's LAPD's jurisdiction?
13:23Unless it's the murder of a federal informant.
13:27I'm going back to work.
13:29Good luck with that, and this.
13:31Oliver, wait.
13:33Simone's instincts are usually spot-on.
13:35Did you work this with her?
13:37No.
13:39Her training agent isn't here, Oliver,
13:41and you worked with Jeffords for years.
13:43No one's gonna have your level of insight.
13:45You know that.
13:47All right. Fine.
13:49But she will do things my way or not at all?
13:51Of course.
13:53Goes without saying.
13:55So, I got an idea.
13:57Good for you.
13:59Now stop talking and do as you're told.
14:03Cameras should catch the unsubs stealing the drugs.
14:07What's that?
14:09A list of hot suspects.
14:11Everyone with access and motive.
14:13There's, like, 20 people on that?
14:15Mm-hmm.
14:17That's one of them right there.
14:19Nurse Melinda.
14:21Looking all guilty.
14:23Or just hungry.
14:25Not Miss Sacred Cow
14:27going medieval on a cheeseburger
14:29after acting all sanctimonious about being a lifelong vegan.
14:31What a liar.
14:33You're not a thief.
14:35It wasn't right when folks accused you of zero proof,
14:37so maybe don't do the same thing to them?
14:39She is a liar, Don,
14:41and that's clearly a double patty.
14:43This letter is perfect.
14:45Oh.
14:47Almost.
14:49Okay, so, first, you're a real estate expert,
14:51but you're a literary critic?
14:53Just don't be so sensitive.
14:55Ma'am, I'm just gonna highlight one sentence here.
14:57Your recent kitchen remodel
14:59was refined yet breathtaking.
15:01Yeah, that's a really nice compliment.
15:03Yeah, well, think about your profile.
15:05Okay, they're aging hippies
15:07who go to Burning Man every year
15:09and use a psychic.
15:11Oh, so they value community
15:13and prize sentimentality over the material.
15:15So do they care about a remodel?
15:17No, of course not.
15:19They care about the memories they leave behind.
15:21I mean, Phil and Connie have been married for 25 years.
15:23They raised two kids in there.
15:25Yeah, yeah, I got it.
15:27Oh, and there's just a little spelling.
15:29Shutting up.
15:31Mm-hmm.
15:33And done. Boom.
15:35Yeah.
15:37Take cover!
15:43What is that?
15:45M-80s.
15:47No, it's just someone
15:49blowing off steam.
15:51They're distracting us.
15:55Hey!
15:57FBI! Stop!
16:01Stop!
16:11I need a bolo out for a blue Camry.
16:13No rear license plate.
16:15We're being headed north on Western.
16:17Why would somebody steal an old evidence box?
16:19I don't know.
16:21But it's our next if we don't get it back.
16:23Tell me you got something.
16:25Yes. No.
16:27Tell me you got something.
16:29According to Gracie's dealer,
16:31Gracie left the game early last night,
16:33which never happens,
16:35which means she was clearly upset by something.
16:37Which proves nothing.
16:39Maybe not, but it gives credibility
16:41to what she said when she called me.
16:43She called Jeffers.
16:45The dealer said that there were seven high rollers
16:47at that game.
16:49We need to bring them all in for questioning.
16:51We can't compel them, and they've all got lawyers
16:53on speed dial.
16:55But we may have an in, Oliver.
16:57Gideon Taft.
16:59All right. The actor from all the Marvel movies.
17:01Yep.
17:03And Brendan's nemesis.
17:05He got every role Brendan wanted,
17:07which might make this ask a little tricky,
17:09but if anybody can sweet-talk B,
17:11it's me.
17:13Is she always like this?
17:15Yeah. Pretty much.
17:17Ooh, just the person
17:19I was looking for.
17:21How'd the burn run go?
17:23Oh, not great. How's inventory?
17:25Well, I kind of ran into a little thing,
17:27and I'm hoping you could help me with it.
17:29Yeah, you know I'll help you if I can.
17:31Gideon Taft.
17:33No. No.
17:35Well, wait, B, you didn't even...
17:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:39Please. I need to talk to him
17:41without his lawyer, and you know I wouldn't
17:43ask you if it wasn't important.
17:45Ugh.
17:47Fine. I'll ask him to come in,
17:49but you owe me. Big time. Trust me.
17:51Deal.
17:53Hey. Any clarity?
17:55Stolen evidence box was from the
17:57Andrew Vogel case.
17:59Why do I keep hearing that name?
18:01Do you listen to the Cold Storage Crime podcast?
18:03Uh, sometimes.
18:05The new season is all about Vogel.
18:07He was sentenced to 20 years, but died in prison.
18:09Heart attack.
18:11Think maybe the podcast are gonna tell us why someone stole that evidence?
18:13Lawyer already has her coming in.
18:15Clearly, a fun sub knew
18:17that the files were being burned today.
18:19And you think someone from this building tipped them off,
18:21and you want me to see who was in the loop.
18:23Why do I feel like you're already on it?
18:25Because I'm already on it.
18:27You're the best. I know.
18:31Another stakeout tip. Go easy on the coffee.
18:33It's Murphy's Law. Crimes always go down
18:35according to the plan.
18:37Too late. Back in a sec.
18:39Hold up, hold up.
18:41Who's this guy?
18:43Uh, that's just Gregory. He interns here after school.
18:45He's a good kid.
18:47An appeal thief.
18:53FBI, show me your hands.
18:55Seriously?
18:57I'm sorry, Miss Davis, but I had to.
18:59They're making me.
19:01Who's making you?
19:03Listen to me.
19:05I know it's scary talking to the FBI,
19:07but trust me, Carter's the best person
19:09I have in your corner.
19:11What's going on, son?
19:13Two weeks ago, I got a text
19:15from this random number saying I needed to steal pills.
19:17I thought it was a prank
19:19until they sent me a photo of my nana.
19:21Your grandmother?
19:23She's in a nursing home.
19:25They got a photo of her sleeping in bed.
19:27These guys are no joke.
19:29Said they'd hurt her if I didn't deliver pills.
19:31I'm on medication every day.
19:33When and where is the next drop?
19:35Two hours at Griffith Park.
19:37Looks like our stakeout just turned into a sting.
19:43Do you mind if I record this for my podcast?
19:45No way.
19:47Okay, well, then I'm out of here.
19:49No, no, no.
19:51You can't record this conversation.
19:53I'm sure if you help us,
19:55we can do a follow-up interview.
19:57I'll do a follow-up interview.
19:59How's that?
20:01Great.
20:03Earlier today, someone stole a box of old trial evidence
20:05from the Vogel case.
20:07Now, why would they do that?
20:09Well, Vogel stole millions.
20:11Hid the accounts behind a cryptographic web of mystery.
20:13I mean, it's a true crime catnip.
20:15Yeah, but in your last episode,
20:17you said that there was 800 grand missing.
20:19What's the deal with that?
20:21So you're a fan?
20:23As of 45 minutes ago, yeah.
20:25I listened at five times speed.
20:27You listen at 5X, you lose all the nuance.
20:29There's no nuance to this.
20:31All of the money was accounted for.
20:33So why tell people that it wasn't?
20:35It's money the FBI didn't know about.
20:37I'm telling you,
20:39Vogel hid money behind one last puzzle.
20:41And you're just sending amateur sleuths out
20:43on a treasure hunt?
20:45You know, one of them likely committed a crime because of it.
20:47I'm just sharing the truth with my listeners.
20:49What they do with it is on them.
20:51Simone, uh,
20:53she said it's an emergency.
20:55Hey.
20:57You need to talk to your nemesis.
20:59Oh, uh, Gideon's not cooperating?
21:01Gideon's not here,
21:03but Cobra Wicks is.
21:05He says he's a spy for MI6.
21:07Uh, yeah, he's a method actor.
21:09He won't break character
21:11because he's preparing for a role or filming.
21:13So how do we get him to talk to us?
21:15Hey, you gotta play by his rules.
21:17You mind if I have a run at him?
21:21Hey, Cobra.
21:23Special agent Akers.
21:25Can't say I appreciate being run in like this, mate.
21:27Oh, well,
21:29the FBI needs your help.
21:31Cobra's listening, ain't I?
21:33When you were at that poker game last night,
21:35did you overhear anyone
21:37talking about anything illegal,
21:39dangerous, or worth killing for?
21:41Certainly
21:43a spy in the King's service
21:45must have overheard something.
21:47I might have,
21:49brov.
21:51But before I say what I know,
21:53what's bloody in it for me?
21:55Okay, I have had it
21:57with you, Daniel Dumb Lewis.
21:59There is a murderer on the loose,
22:01and you're wasting time.
22:03Stop all this stupid method acting
22:05and tell us what you heard.
22:07I...
22:09I...
22:11Boy, I'm not playing with you.
22:13Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
22:15I didn't hear anything.
22:17So all of this was just improv?
22:19Yeah.
22:21But maybe my phone got something.
22:23One of the other players there, he's from England.
22:25I was recording to perfect my accent.
22:27Hand it over.
22:29And work on your damn accent,
22:31because it's hella whack.
22:35Colin?
22:37You're in serious trouble.
22:39You logged into the FBI database
22:41and looked up when the Vogel case evidence
22:43was said to be burned.
22:45Why would I do that?
22:47Because you remotely logged in from your house
22:49three nights ago at 10.14 p.m.
22:51That's not true.
22:53Oh.
22:55Well, there was a girl.
22:57Molly.
22:59Or Margaret. Maybe Mary.
23:01I can't remember.
23:03I met her at the bar near my apartment,
23:05and she was into all the things I'm into.
23:07Dutch soccer and D&D.
23:09Unicorn combo.
23:11Okay, and you brought this unicorn woman
23:13back to your place?
23:15She ended up using my laptop
23:17to quiz me on Nordic trivia.
23:19To find out your password.
23:21I guess so.
23:23Now, what did she look like?
23:25Glasses, but hot.
23:27Long red hair.
23:29Sounds like my thief.
23:31Okay, where did she go after she left your apartment?
23:33I don't know. She grabbed a rideshare,
23:35and I passed out.
23:37Okay, do not even think about leaving your desk
23:39until we verify your story.
23:41Do you understand?
23:43Sorry.
23:47I heard you had a recording
23:49from Gracie Hunt's poker game.
23:51It's rough, but the digital forensics team
23:53managed to isolate the background,
23:55and we got this little snippet.
23:57Okay.
23:59The specialist you hooked me up with,
24:01he's making my problem go away tomorrow,
24:03and I'm gonna damn set his funeral.
24:05So you're thinking specialist equals hitman?
24:07Yeah. I mean, that has to be the life-or-death thing
24:09that Gracie overheard.
24:11We have to identify the target to ID the speaker.
24:13So not only do we not know who the target is,
24:15we don't know who ordered the hit, either.
24:17Well, we do know it's one of these five guys up here,
24:19but we don't have enough time
24:21to figure out which one.
24:23Bud, not true.
24:25This is when we have to fall back on our fundamentals.
24:27What fundamentals?
24:29Research. A skill you would have perfected
24:31if you had stayed in my department.
24:33Now, something in the background of these players
24:35could be the clue to figuring out who ordered the hit.
24:37One detail, no matter how small,
24:39we need to crack this.
24:41Let's see.
24:43The specialist you hooked me up with,
24:45he's making my problem go away tomorrow,
24:47and I'm gonna damn set his funeral.
24:49The specialist you hooked me up with...
24:51Wait, wait.
24:53The specialist you hooked me up with...
24:55What are you thinking, Simone?
24:57Well, he's speaking
24:59so methodically,
25:01deliberately.
25:03I work with a lot of kids
25:05that had language and speech disorders.
25:07This guy could be covering up a stutter.
25:09That might be just the detail.
25:11Okay, where did I see this?
25:13Mitch Ballard, CFO.
25:15Not there.
25:17Nothing in his financials.
25:19Yes! Okay.
25:21Mitch Ballard, last year,
25:23was the keynote speaker
25:25at the American Speech-Language Hearing Foundation.
25:27Ding, ding, ding. That can't be a coincidence.
25:29He's our man.
25:31Nice work.
25:33Nice work to you, too, sir.
25:35Can you stop patting each other on the back
25:37and go pick this guy up, please?
25:43Hopefully he makes this easy.
25:45Yeah.
25:47Hey, there. Slow down.
25:49FBI, Mr. Ballard, we need a word.
25:51I'm late for a meeting.
25:53Sir, we need you to stop.
25:55All right, get the car. Cut him off.
26:05Drop the case!
26:07Get down on the ground.
26:13You okay?
26:15Put him in the car.
26:17I need a minute.
26:25You okay?
26:27Put him in the car.
26:29I need a minute.
26:35I need a minute.
26:49Hey, boss.
26:51Good news.
26:53Oliver and I caught Mitch Ballard.
26:55Okay, well, then what's the bad news?
26:57He's not talking, so we have no idea
26:59who the hitman is he hired
27:01or who the target might be.
27:03And Oliver took himself off the case
27:05and went back to BCU.
27:07Oh, Simone, what did you do this time?
27:09Me? Nothing.
27:11I did hint. It was Ballard.
27:13He hit him in the face with a briefcase.
27:15And he's okay.
27:17I just think it's his pride that's a little bruised.
27:19It's more complicated than that.
27:23Two years ago when Oliver and Jeffers were partners,
27:25Oliver was shot.
27:27Then the line. He almost died.
27:29He could have just retired and taken his pension,
27:31but he loved the work, so he left the field
27:33and he took over the BCU.
27:35Looks like he was just given
27:37a harsh reminder of how dangerous field work can be,
27:39right?
27:43Hi.
27:45You doing okay?
27:47Fine, thank you.
27:49Goodbye.
27:51Listen, Ballard isn't talking,
27:53but we still have time to stop the hit.
27:55I'm not going back out with you.
27:57I'm not asking you to.
27:59I'm saying I think we could solve this thing
28:01if we do a deep dive
28:03and figure out who Ballard wants dead.
28:05Hey.
28:09I can't do what you do.
28:13You're damn right you can't.
28:15Everyone,
28:17drop what you're doing.
28:19We got a new research target.
28:21He's out.
28:23So, uh, any news on the house?
28:25No.
28:27My realtor says that Phil and Connie
28:29won't make a decision until they consult their psychic.
28:31It is no way to make a major
28:33financial decision.
28:35It is in L.A.
28:37So, uh, where are we going?
28:39Oh, the warrant came back for the Redheads' ride share.
28:41Really?
28:43I'm gonna bury the lead. So who is she?
28:45And no one found the money.
28:47Not his kids, not his wife,
28:49not his boss.
28:51FBI,
28:53open up, Amelia.
28:55You guys
28:57want to do the interview now?
28:59Sure. Are you ready to make a confession?
29:01Just, uh,
29:03not for your listeners.
29:05Don't touch my stuff.
29:07Oh, it's not your stuff. It's the FBI's.
29:13And you are
29:15using it to crack
29:17some sort of a code.
29:19Vogel's personal journals.
29:21It has the missing piece of the puzzle,
29:23the location of the 800 grand,
29:25and make me a true crime legend.
29:27Who are you working with?
29:29Someone told you the evidence boxes were being burned today.
29:31Pointed her towards Colin Mayberry
29:33to use as a patsy.
29:35I don't have to tell you anything.
29:37Yeah, but you're looking at some serious time, so remember this.
29:39Whoever talks first gets the deal.
29:43And then my uncle sent me back to the coffee cart
29:45because his latte didn't have that stupid heart design
29:47in the phone.
29:49Hey, Sherry.
29:51Do you have a second to talk about some
29:53Freedom of Information Act requests?
29:55You have one to file?
29:57No, but Amelia Teller did.
29:59More than a dozen, actually, requesting
30:01evidence from the Andrew Vogel trial.
30:03And you're a big fan of her podcast, right?
30:05So you decided, I'm gonna reach out,
30:07I'm gonna give you the evidence that you need
30:09in exchange for half of the money that Vogel hid.
30:11No, I didn't.
30:13Your partner flipped. We have receipts. You're under arrest. Stand up.
30:15It's my ticket out of this stupid job
30:17where I have to listen to my dumb boss
30:19complain about his lame life
30:21while I do all the hard work.
30:23All right. Back me up, Elena.
30:25You were just complaining about your uncle.
30:27I was not.
30:29Who are you gonna believe, me or a confessed criminal?
30:31Come on. Let's go.
30:33I'm going.
30:35Why can't I come with you?
30:37Because our target is a dangerous extortionist.
30:39It's better if you stay here with Gardner and Reynolds.
30:43I feel very safe.
30:45I also feel like giving you a kiss.
30:47Well, it's neither the time
30:49nor place for it.
30:51Codename Trouble.
30:53Living up to her name.
30:55Good luck. Be safe.
30:59Tell me you got something.
31:01Yeah. Ballard's target.
31:03Billionaire bigwig Dan Delford.
31:05Ballard's boss. Why him?
31:07Money.
31:09Delford's always been considered a reclusive genius.
31:11Hasn't left his penthouse in months.
31:13Lately, his decision-making has been so erratic,
31:15it's tanking the stock price.
31:17Ballard is losing millions a week.
31:19Now, last straw appears to be
31:21Delford's new Avery Initiative.
31:23It's an environmental money pit that shareholders hate.
31:25Have you warned Delford?
31:27We tried. Reached out to his security.
31:29They said he gave them the slip an hour ago.
31:31Nobody knows where he is.
31:33Our hitman must have figured out a way to lure Delford out of his hiding.
31:35But how?
31:37Delford must have a leverage point that we don't know about.
31:39I might know what it is.
31:41What?
31:43I read in an interview that he named the Avery Initiative
31:45after a long-lost high school girlfriend,
31:47Avery Edison.
31:49I've been trying to track her down.
31:51Avery Edison died in her home last week.
31:53Slipped in the bathroom.
31:55Her funeral is this afternoon.
31:57I bet Avery's death was as much an accident
31:59as Gracie's O.D.
32:01was an O.D.
32:03I'll mobilize LAPD to meet us at that cemetery.
32:05Yeah.
32:07You coming?
32:13Yeah.
32:29It worked.
32:31Of course it did.
32:33Hard strings are the easiest thread to pull.
32:35Now finish the job.
32:43Package has been taped
32:45under a bench at my 10 o'clock.
32:47We're a go.
32:51Keep eyes on Mr. Greyjacket here.
33:01We got a bogey.
33:03I'm gonna get this old man out of here.
33:09I'm gonna get this old man out of here.
33:13You gotta be kidding me.
33:17Hey!
33:19FBI, sir.
33:21Put the package back.
33:23Sir! Sir!
33:25Hey! Hey!
33:27Drop the package.
33:29Are you armed?
33:31No. No.
33:33This is all a big misunderstanding.
33:35Stay still. I'm a nurse.
33:37Are you feeling lightheaded?
33:39No. I'm feeling old.
33:41Yeah.
33:43Joseph Cicero.
33:45Yeah. Joseph Cicero.
33:47You were a mafia enforcer for the Milano Brothers
33:49back in the 80s. They called you Joey C.
33:51Didn't you get a life sentence?
33:53They gave me a compassionate release
33:55because of my age.
33:57Suckers.
33:59So you went right back to criming.
34:01There's no pension plan for old mobsters.
34:03So my idiot son
34:05spent all the cash I had hidden
34:07and stuck me in a home.
34:09Now, I ain't built for bingo.
34:11So when I overheard this old windbag
34:13going on about a grandkid
34:15working in a hospital,
34:17it created a business opportunity
34:19for myself.
34:21By terrifying a young man into stealing pills.
34:23Shame on you.
34:25Stick your shame where the sun don't shine.
34:27How about I stick it where those false teeth are?
34:29Okay. Let's not do that.
34:33Yeah. Yeah. Come on.
34:35Mr. Cicero, you're under arrest.
34:39There's Delford.
34:47Mr. Delford, we need you to come with us.
34:49Why?
34:51We're with the FBI. Mr. Delford, just come with us, okay?
34:53Why?
34:55You're in jeopardy. We'll explain later.
34:57Let's go, sir.
35:03Mr. Delford.
35:05Mr. Delford.
35:07Are you okay?
35:09It's a nerve agent. This is Garza.
35:11I need an ambulance to my location right away.
35:13There. Gray suit, brown hair.
35:15The nerve agent was delivered by handshake.
35:17Do not touch his hand.
35:19I got it. Stay with them.
35:23FBI. Freeze. Right there.
35:25Don't move. There you go. Hands up.
35:27Get down on one knee.
35:29Let's go.
35:37Let's go.
35:45So I talked to the prosecutor.
35:47If Gregory testifies against Joey C,
35:49the charges will be knocked down to a misdemeanor.
35:51No prison.
35:53That's great, Carter. Yeah.
35:55Now we've proven to your colleagues that you weren't the pill thief.
35:59You're the best partner ever.
36:01You're not so bad yourself.
36:03Carter!
36:05You hate me.
36:07You're supposed to be doing inventory.
36:09Yeah, but we caught a murder. What's wrong with him?
36:11Nerve agent of some kind.
36:13Pace Dr. Miles now.
36:15I'm afraid to ask. I was minding my own business
36:17when this girl called.
36:19She was looking for Agent Jeffers,
36:21but he's dead. She was in jeopardy
36:23because she found out about a murder for hire.
36:25Then she gets killed.
36:27Staged to look like an O.D.
36:29Which you did not believe, by the way.
36:31But that's a whole other story.
36:33This hitman who makes his kills
36:35look like accidents.
36:37And he poisoned this billionaire.
36:39But we caught his ass at the cemetery.
36:41So you didn't do the inventory.
36:45I did some of it.
36:51Okay, Logan.
36:53Okay, you don't have to talk to me if you don't want to.
36:55That's fine.
36:57But I'm not a fool, either.
36:59There was no getaway car at the cemetery.
37:01Huh?
37:03There's no way that one man could have
37:05subdued Avery and Gracie
37:07all by themselves.
37:09So you have a partner.
37:11You give him up, we cut you a deal.
37:13Or you can spend the rest of your young life
37:15in a federal penitentiary.
37:17Yeah.
37:21Hmm.
37:23Okay.
37:25We are not gonna get anything out of him.
37:27Who knew that hitmen could be so loyal?
37:29It's not just about loyalty, Simone.
37:31The guy's afraid.
37:33He knows that if he talks, he dies.
37:35We arrested Ballard for paying for the hit,
37:37but it doesn't feel right that there's a killer
37:39still out there.
37:41We're gonna find him, starting tomorrow.
37:43But tonight, you need to complete inventory duty.
37:45That's funny.
37:47You see me laughing?
37:49Nope.
37:51I'm on it.
37:53You know,
37:55I can get a suggestion box
37:57if you'd like for any complaints
37:59or anything.
38:01Oh, you heard.
38:03No heart shape in my latte's foam.
38:05Hey, you have to give a little
38:07to get a little in the assistant network.
38:09Complaining about our bosses is what bonds us.
38:11It's all make-believe with you.
38:15Theo.
38:17Theo, come on.
38:19How's Delfer doing?
38:21He was touch-and-go for a bit,
38:23but he's gonna be okay.
38:25Almost killed by a handshake. What a day.
38:27I'm on hour 22, but I feel more wired
38:29than I did when we started at 9 a.m.
38:31Yeah, me too.
38:33You know,
38:35as fun as today was,
38:37being codenamed
38:39trouble and all,
38:41I'm sad we missed practice at the beach.
38:43Yeah, would have been romantic.
38:45You know what would be even more romantic, though?
38:47The beach at moonlight?
38:49Exactly.
38:51I like it. Yeah?
38:53But you know what would be even more romantic than that?
38:55Hmm?
38:57The beach at sunrise after we spend the night at my place.
38:59You win.
39:01Always.
39:03And don't you forget it.
39:05You really think there's a missing 800 grand out there
39:07and the key to finding it's hidden somewhere
39:09in Vogel's journals?
39:11Well, if it is, the cryptanalysts will find it,
39:13but by the way it's looking,
39:15those two women just got into a lot of trouble for nothing.
39:17Saved us from some serious embarrassment.
39:19And I got to check something off of my coloring book.
39:21Oh, not quite.
39:23We have to finish the burn run tomorrow.
39:25Oh, really?
39:27No credit for time served?
39:29All right, well, we can go look at some
39:31different houses for you then.
39:33Oh.
39:35Actually, I predict that my housing fortunes
39:37are about to improve.
39:39Is that Bill and Connie's psychic?
39:41Yes.
39:43Madame Montclairie, thanks for coming in.
39:45Do you know who I am?
39:47Laura Stenson.
39:49You're one of the less qualified applicants
39:51for Bill and Connie's home.
39:53Wow, the internet's really made life easier for psychics.
39:55Oh, yeah.
39:57I must warn you, I am bound by a covenant
39:59to guard my clients' trust
40:01in their communion with the fates
40:03and wisdom of the spirits.
40:05Sure.
40:07On the other hand, what I'm offering
40:09is to put a small thumb on the scale of justice
40:11with the Phoenix PD,
40:13who currently have a warrant out for your arrest
40:15for shoplifting a crystal ball.
40:19Congratulations
40:21on your new home.
40:25Yes!
40:27See?
40:29You are not the only one who knows how to play
40:31the L.A. real estate game.
40:37Working late?
40:39Inventory is not
40:41going to finish itself.
40:43You?
40:45I'm just trying to get a jump on tomorrow.
40:47I, um, I heard about
40:49what happened with you and Jeffers,
40:51and I can't
40:53imagine how hard it was
40:55to come back from that.
40:57Well, I hope you never have to find out.
40:59Tell me,
41:01are you the reason
41:03that there's a rumor going around
41:05that I broke the back of the Delford case
41:07single-handedly?
41:09Well,
41:11I, uh, kind of, sort of
41:13put that out there.
41:15I guess you want me to thank you.
41:17No, I want you to forgive me.
41:19For what?
41:21My first day in your unit,
41:23I was a little annoyed.
41:25Oh, really? I couldn't tell.
41:27But working with you today
41:29changed my perspective.
41:31I can be headstrong and impatient,
41:33but I could have learned a lot in your unit.
41:35I could have learned a lot from you.
41:40Probationary Special Agent Clark,
41:42you're absolutely right.
41:44For once.
41:46But, um, next time you have a problem,
41:50leave me out of it.
41:52Where's the fun in that?
42:09You
42:39you
