I stayed up really late.

I was up all night going through

27
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:45,839
the files Winchester gave me on Deputy Director Van Cleef.

28
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:47,607
Did you read his grade school transcripts, too?

29
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:49,709
(laughing): I might as well have.

30
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:51,678
He dumped every file

31
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:53,513
on every mission that Van Cleef has worked on

32
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:55,148
for the past seven years.

33
00:01:55,215 --> 00:01:59,385
This... this is every mission he ever led personally,

34
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:01,154
including when I worked with him.

35
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:01,221
Way to go, Winchester.

36
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:02,689
Yeah.

37
00:02:02,755 --> 00:02:05,758
I guess after saving both his life and his career

38
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:08,394
taking down that DIA mole, he was feeling generous.

39
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:10,196
Read your file yet?

40
00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:12,599
You know, after all these years, I don't know.

41
00:02:12,665 --> 00:02:15,201
I just... I couldn't.

42
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:16,369
You'll read it when you're ready.

43
00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:18,171
Yeah.

44
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:21,274
Anyway, I did go through the other operations, though.

45
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:22,609
Find a pattern of behavior?

46
00:02:22,675 --> 00:02:25,211
It's the way he handled disciplinary actions.

47
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:28,915
He cited 15 senior female field agents

48
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:32,185
for things like breaches of protocol, poor judgment.

49
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:33,786
They all had otherwise clean records.

50
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:35,255
Any male agents?

51
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:36,890
Three. But...

52
00:02:36,956 --> 00:02:38,491
they had all been previously disciplined

53
00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:39,926
by other supervisors.

54
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:41,261
Hmm.

55
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,162
I'm beginning to think,

56
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:45,598
unconsciously or not,

57
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:47,901
Van Cleef has a problem with female field agents.

58
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:49,502
You really think it was unconscious?

59
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:49,569
I'm being kind.

60
00:02:49,569 --> 00:02:51,271
Mm.

61
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:52,939
Well, you really did dig into the pattern.

62
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:54,908
Let's look into promotions, demotions, firings.

63
00:02:54,974 --> 00:02:56,409
And let's see if there's any

64
00:02:56,476 --> 00:02:57,911
gender-based trends in the areas, too.

65
00:02:57,977 --> 00:02:57,977
Look, Tammy, you don't have to.

66
00:02:57,977 --> 00:03:00,000
Are you kidding?

67
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Look, Tammy, you don't have to.

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,246
Are you kidding?

69
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:01,481
If this is what's really...

70
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:03,283
I'm kicking a hornet's nest.

71
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:06,319
If this pattern really does exist,

72
00:03:06,386 --> 00:03:07,854
then that's a nest that needs kicking,

73
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:09,188
and I'm all in.

74
00:03:09,255 --> 00:03:10,189
I'm sure Pride will be, too.

75
00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:11,925
Pride already went to bat for me with Van Cleef.

76
00:03:11,991 --> 00:03:13,560
I don't want him sticking his neck out again.

77
00:03:13,626 --> 00:03:15,395
Okay.

78
00:03:24,804 --> 00:03:24,804
Dwayne.

79
00:03:24,804 --> 00:03:26,205
Linda,

80
00:03:26,272 --> 00:03:29,208
what... what are you doing here?

81
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:31,277
(laughs): It's nice to see you, too.

82
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:34,447
Sorry. I just, I just wasn't expecting...

83
00:03:34,514 --> 00:03:36,916
What, your ex-wife showing up without calling or texting?

84
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:36,983
Exactly.

85
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:38,952
Well, it's the big

86
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:39,018
planning of the wedding weekend.

87
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:41,387
I just thought that

88
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:43,623
that would start, you know, on-on the weekend.

89
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:44,857
Well, it is.

90
00:03:44,924 --> 00:03:46,793
But Laurel, I mean, she's...

91
00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:48,695
we only have two days.

92
00:03:48,761 --> 00:03:50,563
There's venues and there's flowers and there's catering,

93
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:52,999
and so I just came a little early.

94
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:56,302
Right. Well...

95
00:03:56,369 --> 00:03:57,570
welcome.

96
00:03:57,637 --> 00:03:58,905
Uh, can I get you a coffee?

97
00:03:58,972 --> 00:03:58,972
Or breakfast, or...?

98
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,000
No, no, I'm good.

99
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Or breakfast, or...?

100
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,740
No, no, I'm good.

101
00:04:00,807 --> 00:04:02,008
I actually just came in

102
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:02,075
for an awkward hello.

103
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:04,310
(chuckles)

104
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:07,380
And then go and make my rounds.

105
00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:10,283
Well, mission accomplished.

106
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:12,518
All right, I admit it.

107
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:14,554
I mean, I knew you bought the place.

108
00:04:14,621 --> 00:04:18,024
But I just kind of wanted to see it for myself and

109
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:22,829
tell you that I'm really glad that it's finally yours.

110
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:24,964
Thank you.

111
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:28,468
How's everything in, uh, in Houston?

112
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:29,402
It's good.

113
00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:31,904
Ted and I celebrated our fourth anniversary.

114
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:34,474
Wow. Congratulations.

115
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:34,540
How are you and Rita?

116
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:36,000
We're great.

117
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,000
How are you and Rita?

118
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,542
We're great.

119
00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:37,510
Hmm.

120
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,512
Let me just make you something to eat before

121
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:39,579
you have to rush out.

122
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:41,347
No, no, I'm not gonna put you out.

123
00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:41,414
You're not putting me... out at all.

124
00:04:41,414 --> 00:04:42,000
(phone beeping)

125
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,000
You're not putting me... out at all.

126
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,483
(phone beeping)

127
00:04:43,549 --> 00:04:45,585
Okay?

128
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:48,321
(chuckles)

129
00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:51,524
Um, it's, it's a case.

130
00:04:51,591 --> 00:04:54,527
Yeah. It-It's okay. I-I-I have a lot to get done,

131
00:04:54,594 --> 00:04:55,828
so...

132
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:57,397
It was great to see you.

133
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,970
(door opens, closes)

134
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,542
PRIDE: Morning. What've we got?

135
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:11,944
Victim was Lieutenant Daniel Sloan.

136
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:13,780
Naval microbiologist.

137
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:15,715
Looks like the body was dragged out of the water

138
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:17,817
and mauled by some kind of wild animal.

139
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:17,884
PRIDE: How long was it in the water?

140
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:18,000
WADE: A few hours.

141
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,000
PRIDE: How long was it in the water?

142
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,353
WADE: A few hours.

143
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:20,420
Probably went in somewhere upstream.

144
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:23,089
Time of death?

145
00:05:23,156 --> 00:05:25,958
I'm putting it somewhere around six to ten hours ago.

146
00:05:26,025 --> 00:05:27,393
Middle of the night.

147
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,663
What the hell was he doing out here?

148
00:05:30,730 --> 00:05:32,498
CARTER: Good question.

149
00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:34,333
The local sheriffs are still canvassing the area,

150
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,769
but no sign of any vehicle or witnesses for that matter.

151
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:38,671
So it could've been dumped.

152
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:40,707
SEBASTIAN: These waters aren't a bad place to dump a body.

153
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:42,108
Another day or so, alligators could've

154
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:42,175
disposed of the corpse.

155
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:44,043
You thinking foul play?

156
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:45,545
WADE: Can't rule it out.

157
00:05:45,611 --> 00:05:47,013
We'll see when we get to the morgue.

158
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,848
Okay.

159
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:51,884
Let's start digging into Lieutenant Sloan's life.

160
00:05:56,656 --> 00:05:57,924
HANNAH: Hey.

161
00:05:59,459 --> 00:06:00,827
You got a sec?

162
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:02,395
Well, if this is about that fancy bottle

163
00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:03,896
of whiskey you loaned me,

164
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:03,963
I'll buy you a new one.

165
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:05,898
It's not about that.

166
00:06:05,965 --> 00:06:08,501
It's about Deputy Director Van Cleef.

167
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:09,836
You were right.

168
00:06:09,902 --> 00:06:12,672
He was responsible for my demotion as team leader.

169
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:12,739
And there is a history there.

170
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:15,975
That you don't have to explain.

171
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:17,944
I don't need to know. It's not my business.

172
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:18,945
No, it's okay, I want to.

173
00:06:19,011 --> 00:06:21,114
Here's the thing, I've been trying

174
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:23,416
to locate people-- women--

175
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:24,951
who have had similar experiences to mine,

176
00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:26,486
to talk to.

177
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:26,552
You want to tank his DoD appointment?

178
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:27,954
I want

179
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:30,089
to make sure all the relevant information is out there.

180
00:06:30,156 --> 00:06:32,692
I never took you for the David and Goliath type.

181
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,895
Neither did I. But here I am.

182
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:37,997
What do you need?

183
00:06:38,064 --> 00:06:39,832
You said that you worked with someone at Pearl Harbor

184
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:42,168
who had a run-in with Van Cleef?

185
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:44,504
Look, I think the name of that woman is Emily Landau.

186
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,139
And I've been trying to get ahold of her,

187
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:49,175
but she doesn't work for NCIS anymore.

188
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:54,781
You know what? Never mind.

189
00:06:54,847 --> 00:06:57,984
I can find her, if that's what you want.

190
00:06:58,050 --> 00:07:00,820
If she's open to talking to you, I can connect you.

191
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,522
But if she's not, I won't.

192
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,557
You're protective of her. I get it.

193
00:07:04,624 --> 00:07:07,426
Van Cleef is a powerful man with powerful friends.

194
00:07:07,493 --> 00:07:08,928
He could hurt her and he can hurt you.

195
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:08,995
You, too.

196
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:10,763
Yeah, but...

197
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:12,431
I hate a bully.

198
00:07:12,498 --> 00:07:13,933
And I love a fight.

199
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,034
KEVIN: I couldn't believe it

200
00:07:15,101 --> 00:07:16,469
when I heard he was dead.

201
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:16,536
I'm sorry.

202
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:18,000
Thanks.

203
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,000
I'm sorry.

204
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,538
Thanks.

205
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:20,940
It's all anyone can talk about.

206
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:23,543
Do you know of anyone who would want to hurt him?

207
00:07:23,609 --> 00:07:24,610
Dan? Are you kidding?

208
00:07:24,677 --> 00:07:25,812
He was a great guy.

209
00:07:25,878 --> 00:07:27,547
What was he working on here?

210
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:29,916
We've been optimizing the diagnosis and prevention kits

211
00:07:29,982 --> 00:07:32,652
for infectious diseases in different areas.

212
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:34,187
Any idea what he was doing out in the bayou

213
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:35,621
in the middle of the night?

214
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:37,089
Everybody could tell you that.

215
00:07:37,156 --> 00:07:39,125
He was hunting monsters.

216
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:42,562
Dan's hobby was myth-busting.

217
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:43,930
Seriously?

218
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:44,797
Yeah, he believed there was

219
00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:47,900
a scientific explanation for everything.

220
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:47,967
He was gonna do a podcast about it.

221
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:48,000
You know what, uh,

222
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,000
He was gonna do a podcast about it.

223
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,069
You know what, uh,

224
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:53,639
what creature he was out there chasing, or...?

225
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:56,075
Dan had heard something about some nocturnal swamp creature,

226
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:57,476
I forget what it's called.

227
00:07:57,543 --> 00:07:58,845
The, uh, the Tougaloo?

228
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:00,947
Rougarou! It's the bayou werewolf.

229
00:08:01,013 --> 00:08:02,582
That's awesome. Wow.

230
00:08:02,648 --> 00:08:03,583
What a great idea for a podcast.

231
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:04,750
I've got some theories myself

232
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,052
that I've been working on-- nothing...

233
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:09,589
Dan saw a bunch of photos online

234
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:11,023
a couple weeks ago. Supposedly

235
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:12,992
sightings of the whatchamacallit.

236
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:13,059
Rougarou.

237
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:15,161
He talked about it all the time.

238
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:16,896
He went out there to see for himself.

239
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,898
Maybe it-- maybe it's real after all?

240
00:08:18,965 --> 00:08:18,965
No.

241
00:08:18,965 --> 00:08:20,433
Maybe.

242
00:08:29,575 --> 00:08:31,811
I think I would've liked Lieutenant Sloan.

243
00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:33,011
WADE: Really?

244
00:08:33,078 --> 00:08:35,948
Yeah, he was a scientist with a soft spot for urban legends.

245
00:08:36,015 --> 00:08:37,783
You know? What's not to like?

246
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,518
I know we're not supposed to think that way.

247
00:08:39,585 --> 00:08:42,121
It's never wrong to acknowledge the humanity

248
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,756
of the victims we encounter.

249
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:43,823
Well, what happened to him?

250
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:46,092
Bruising of the back

251
00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:48,628
of the neck, petechial hemorrhaging in the eyes.

252
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:48,694
He was strangled?

253
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:51,063
I am ruling it as a homicide,

254
00:08:51,130 --> 00:08:52,899
but the cause of death is drowning.

255
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:55,001
He had significant water in his lungs.

256
00:08:55,067 --> 00:08:57,670
So the killer held his head underwater until he drowned.

257
00:08:57,737 --> 00:08:59,672
That's consistent with my findings.

258
00:08:59,739 --> 00:09:01,908
Well, what about these maulings?

259
00:09:01,974 --> 00:09:04,310
WADE: The lack of bleeding suggests the injuries were

260
00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:05,311
inflicted postmortem.

261
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:06,712
Any idea what caused them?

262
00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:08,681
This part you're gonna like.

263
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:12,752
I found what appears to be animal hair in the wounds.

264
00:09:12,818 --> 00:09:14,754
I'm sending it to the lab for analysis.

265
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,590
Hair? You know, uh, Rougarou's got hair.

266
00:09:17,657 --> 00:09:20,259
And it, uh, supposedly it-it suffocates its victims

267
00:09:20,326 --> 00:09:21,894
before it eats them.

268
00:09:21,961 --> 00:09:23,329
So...

269
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:25,264
I'm not saying that there's a bayou werewolf out there.

270
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:28,000
Okay?

271
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:29,969
A guy can dream, right?

272
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,639
Emily Landau's phone number.

273
00:09:33,706 --> 00:09:35,641
You talked to her? She's willing to talk?

274
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:36,909
She's willing to listen.

275
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:38,644
Now, she lives in Virginia.

276
00:09:38,711 --> 00:09:40,913
You can videoconference her before the end of the day,

277
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,281
as long as the connection is secure.

278
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:42,348
Today?

279
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:42,504
The sooner the better.

280
00:09:42,504 --> 00:09:42,504
Today?

281
00:09:42,504 --> 00:09:43,883
The sooner the better.

282
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,117
Before she gets cold feet.

283
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:46,585
Look, if you're gonna do this,

284
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:47,887
you need to do it before

285
00:09:47,954 --> 00:09:49,789
Van Cleef's confirmation hearing.

286
00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:50,923
Or it's pointless.

287
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:53,259
You're right.

288
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:56,929
Thank you.

289
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:04,770
LINDA: Thank you so much

290
00:10:04,837 --> 00:10:05,838
for coming down here.

291
00:10:05,905 --> 00:10:07,273
So this is, uh,

292
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:09,775
what Laurel's got her heart set on?

293
00:10:09,842 --> 00:10:11,777
Yeah, I, um...

294
00:10:11,844 --> 00:10:13,779
She was on lunch, I FaceTimed her,

295
00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:15,781
and she flipped over it.

296
00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:19,251
And since we're both breaking our piggy banks for this,

297
00:10:19,318 --> 00:10:21,787
I just wanted to make sure that you saw it

298
00:10:21,854 --> 00:10:24,857
before I made the deposit.

299
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:28,828
Okay. It's pricey.

300
00:10:28,894 --> 00:10:30,796
But you have to admit,

301
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:31,831
it's really lovely.

302
00:10:31,897 --> 00:10:31,897
This is for one night?

303
00:10:31,897 --> 00:10:34,133
Yeah.

304
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:37,169
Laurel loves it?

305
00:10:37,236 --> 00:10:38,371
Yes.

306
00:10:39,405 --> 00:10:41,340
(exhales)

307
00:10:41,407 --> 00:10:43,142
Let's do it.

308
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:44,977
Okay. I'm gonna pull the trigger.

309
00:10:45,044 --> 00:10:46,979
(chuckles): Yeah.

310
00:10:47,046 --> 00:10:50,282
You know, I'm starting to feel like this whole wedding thing

311
00:10:50,349 --> 00:10:51,984
is really real.

312
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:54,286
I've actually been thinking about that all day.

313
00:10:54,353 --> 00:10:55,821
Our little girl,

314
00:10:55,888 --> 00:10:58,424
walking around with that stuffed pig every day?

315
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,126
Part of me was hoping that Laurel

316
00:11:00,192 --> 00:11:02,928
was gonna call and say, "Cancel everything."

317
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:04,897
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice?

318
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:08,934
Are we awful?

319
00:11:09,001 --> 00:11:10,169
Probably.

320
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:13,239
But it's just so sudden.

321
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:16,175
I mean, she's marrying a cop. That's a huge mistake.

322
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:19,779
(chuckles) You're kidding, right?

323
00:11:22,481 --> 00:11:23,816
Look,

324
00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:25,718
David's a great guy.

325
00:11:25,785 --> 00:11:28,921
I'm sure he's a great guy, but he's a great guy with a badge.

326
00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:31,257
I mean, why are you hoping that they're gonna call it off?

327
00:11:31,323 --> 00:11:34,960
I just felt like they're just going too fast.

328
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:37,797
But I got no problem with his career.

329
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:39,031
Of course not.

330
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:41,267
I mean, it means you get the last word.

331
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:42,301
What's that mean?

332
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:44,236
Laurel is marrying a cop.

333
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:47,039
Just like Dad. I mean, come on.

334
00:11:47,106 --> 00:11:49,408
Laurel has made her peace with what it means

335
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:52,244
to live with a cop.

336
00:11:52,311 --> 00:11:55,247
As a daughter. Not a wife.

337
00:11:55,314 --> 00:11:57,783
Do you really want her waiting,

338
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,119
worrying for the rest of her life?

339
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:01,454
Wasn't always that bad, Linda.

340
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,755
Really?

341
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:04,023
Thanks for feeling that for me.

342
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:05,224
That's not what I meant.

343
00:12:05,291 --> 00:12:07,293
I meant that there were good times, too.

344
00:12:07,359 --> 00:12:08,828
Of course there were.

345
00:12:08,894 --> 00:12:11,330
But the bad times landed on my shoulders.

346
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:13,399
Because it wasn't a problem for you.

347
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:13,466
Linda, come on.

348
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:14,834
You know what?

349
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,001
You were off being a hero,

350
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:17,837
you were saving the city.

351
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:19,038
But you're right.

352
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:21,040
It was not the job. It was never the job.

353
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,976
Because you treated it like a calling,

354
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:25,377
not a career.

355
00:12:25,444 --> 00:12:27,847
Why is it a crime to love my work?

356
00:12:27,913 --> 00:12:29,081
It's not.

357
00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:31,016
But the way you do it,

358
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:33,519
there's not any room for anything else.

359
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:36,989
And no matter how much I loved you,

360
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:38,858
God, it-it would've been easier

361
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:40,860
having a mistress.

362
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:42,528
All those broken people,

363
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:45,197
I couldn't compete with them.

364
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,066
You're the one who left.

365
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:48,100
You're the one

366
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,935
who broke up the family, not me.

367
00:12:50,002 --> 00:12:52,071
I might've left last, but you were

368
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:53,105
the first one to leave.

369
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:55,407
Don't do that. We both agreed.

370
00:12:55,474 --> 00:12:57,810
We both agreed that we needed time apart.

371
00:12:57,877 --> 00:13:00,479
I am not talking about the separation, Dwayne.

372
00:13:02,014 --> 00:13:06,185
When you came home, you promised to be present.

373
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,853
To work at it.

374
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,090
But I did. I was.

375
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:12,892
For Laurel.

376
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:15,528
You were a great dad.

377
00:13:15,594 --> 00:13:18,164
I would never deny you that.

378
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:22,134
But you were not there for me.

379
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:28,174
(phone ringing)

380
00:13:29,408 --> 00:13:31,177
(sighs)

381
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:32,378
(scoffs)

382
00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:35,047
Pride.

383
00:13:37,049 --> 00:13:38,984
The SAC?

384
00:13:39,051 --> 00:13:41,187
Fine. But I'm in the middle of something right now.

385
00:13:41,253 --> 00:13:44,190
I'll get there when I get there.

386
00:13:44,256 --> 00:13:44,256
(quietly): Just go.

387
00:13:44,256 --> 00:13:46,158
No. No.

388
00:13:46,225 --> 00:13:47,893
I want to finish this.

389
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,862
We're finished, Dwayne.

390
00:13:49,929 --> 00:13:52,097
I really don't want to fight with you anymore.

391
00:13:53,465 --> 00:13:55,467
I'm done.

392
00:13:59,071 --> 00:14:00,172
PATTON: I found the photos

393
00:14:00,239 --> 00:14:02,308
Sloan found online of the swamp thing.

394
00:14:02,374 --> 00:14:04,376
It's called the Rougarou. Do the photos actually show it?

395
00:14:04,443 --> 00:14:07,146
What? No. Not even close, 'cause it's not a real thing.

396
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:10,115
Yeah, I-- You know that I know that. I don't know why--

397
00:14:10,182 --> 00:14:11,183
Why is everyone treating me like I don't know that?

398
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:14,186
'Cause you still kind of hope, and it's pathetic.

399
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:17,089
(Sebastian sighs)

400
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:19,291
I mean, that's not exactly proof positive.

401
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:21,026
Must have intrigued him.

402
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:23,562
Any info on who posted the photos online?

403
00:14:23,629 --> 00:14:25,331
PATTON: I.P. address belongs

404
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:27,299
to a Cajun Creatures Swamp Tour.

405
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,567
Hmm.

406
00:14:34,406 --> 00:14:36,308
Sure, I remember this guy. Nice young man.

407
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:38,978
He took the tour once or twice.

408
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:41,013
He was, uh, interested in the Rougarou.

409
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,248
KAREN: A lot of people who come on our tours

410
00:14:42,314 --> 00:14:44,083
believe in that foolishness.

411
00:14:44,149 --> 00:14:46,185
Well, I don't know if I'd call it foolishness.

412
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:48,354
Just because we run a swamp tour doesn't mean we're morons.

413
00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:50,122
Oh, sure, but I'm just saying that, you know, there's probably

414
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:52,024
a lot of very smart people

415
00:14:52,091 --> 00:14:53,525
out there who keep an open mind

416
00:14:53,592 --> 00:14:53,592
about this kind of thing.

417
00:14:53,592 --> 00:14:54,504
Of course.

418
00:14:54,504 --> 00:14:54,504
about this kind of thing.

419
00:14:54,504 --> 00:14:55,661
Of course.

420
00:14:55,728 --> 00:14:57,463
It's not our place to judge.

421
00:14:57,529 --> 00:15:00,966
Well, you do more than that, right? You fuel interest in it?

422
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:02,067
Not following.

423
00:15:02,134 --> 00:15:03,502
The photos online.

424
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,237
We traced the I.P. address back to you.

425
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:06,372
Oh, those. W...

426
00:15:06,438 --> 00:15:08,207
Well, they're good for business.

427
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:10,175
Oh? So you get customers

428
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:14,280
based on photos of dead animals with scratched-up carcasses?

429
00:15:14,346 --> 00:15:14,346
Yeah, I guess so.

430
00:15:14,346 --> 00:15:15,948
Imagine if

431
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:17,249
there was an escalation

432
00:15:17,316 --> 00:15:19,418
from dead animal to dead human.

433
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:19,485
Attacked by a Rougarou.

434
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:21,220
SEBASTIAN: Mm-hmm.

435
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:23,389
What are you suggesting? You think we killed him?

436
00:15:23,455 --> 00:15:25,224
That's not... We would never do something like that. Never.

437
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:26,959
Well, what would you do if you found a body?

438
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,527
If I found a body?

439
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:33,198
Say that again. Say "I've found a body."

440
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:33,265
What?

441
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:35,701
He's the one who called 911.

442
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,202
Vincent, is that true?

443
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,972
Oh, what if I did find it?

444
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,241
Uh, calling 911 was the decent thing to do.

445
00:15:42,308 --> 00:15:43,375
You didn't think to mention that up front?

446
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:43,442
I didn't kill him.

447
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:46,645
Well, then, what were you gonna...

448
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:49,281
You were gonna post photos of the mauled body online,

449
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:50,949
you were gonna blame it on the Rougarou.

450
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:52,251
VINCE: I took some pictures,

451
00:15:52,318 --> 00:15:54,153
but I didn't post 'em. I realized it wasn't...

452
00:15:54,219 --> 00:15:55,421
Classy?

453
00:15:55,487 --> 00:15:56,655
I didn't kill him.

454
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:57,656
KAREN: He's not a killer,

455
00:15:57,723 --> 00:15:59,325
he's just an idiot.

456
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:02,194
What aren't you telling us?

457
00:16:02,261 --> 00:16:03,195
Nothing, I...

458
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:06,231
He came by one day last week.

459
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:09,268
He was wanting to know about the photos online,

460
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:11,270
and he wanted to know where they were shot.

461
00:16:11,337 --> 00:16:14,106
And I told him, couple miles upstream,

462
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:16,475
and he said he was gonna check out that area.

463
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:20,012
I really appreciate this.

464
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:21,380
Quentin says you're good people.

465
00:16:21,447 --> 00:16:22,681
But I don't have a lot of time.

466
00:16:22,748 --> 00:16:24,016
I've got to get back to the office.

467
00:16:24,083 --> 00:16:25,751
Okay, I'll get right to the point.

468
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:29,421
You left NCIS after an incident at your posting at Pearl Harbor.

469
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:31,190
Counterintelligence sting that went wrong?

470
00:16:31,256 --> 00:16:33,125
I can't get into those details.

471
00:16:33,192 --> 00:16:34,693
Okay, you don't have to.

472
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,529
You just have to confirm that Director Van Cleef demoted you.

473
00:16:37,596 --> 00:16:41,367
He didn't. I resigned before he could.

474
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:44,069
Are you aware that Director Van Cleef

475
00:16:44,136 --> 00:16:46,071
is up for a promotion at DoD?

476
00:16:46,138 --> 00:16:48,240
No. No, when?

477
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:50,376
As soon as he gets Senate confirmation.

478
00:16:50,442 --> 00:16:52,311
He's gonna be Chief of Naval Operations.

479
00:16:52,378 --> 00:16:53,545
ZOEY: Mommy?

480
00:16:53,612 --> 00:16:54,713
Oh, hey, Zoey, honey, uh,

481
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:56,582
Mommy's doing something for work here.

482
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:58,450
Have Amy

483
00:16:58,517 --> 00:17:01,453
fix you a snack, huh? I'll be right there.

484
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:03,689
Uh, sorry about that.

485
00:17:03,756 --> 00:17:05,691
No, no, no, it's okay. I, um...

486
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:08,160
I was reviewing your file from Pearl Harbor.

487
00:17:08,227 --> 00:17:11,497
It looks like you were building a case against a hacker

488
00:17:11,563 --> 00:17:13,799
who broke into the base network,

489
00:17:13,866 --> 00:17:15,067
but you cut your key witness loose?

490
00:17:15,134 --> 00:17:17,703
I made a judgment call.

491
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:21,339
I pulled a witness because her story kept changing.

492
00:17:21,406 --> 00:17:22,741
Case fell apart.

493
00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:24,675
Van Cleef claimed I was responsible

494
00:17:24,742 --> 00:17:26,779
for not vetting the witness properly

495
00:17:26,845 --> 00:17:29,782
and for possibly falsifying

496
00:17:29,848 --> 00:17:31,383
statements.

497
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:33,051
There was no point in fighting it,

498
00:17:33,118 --> 00:17:34,353
so I took early retirement.

499
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:35,754
Did you ever feel like Van Cleef

500
00:17:35,821 --> 00:17:38,090
treated you differently because you're a woman?

501
00:17:38,157 --> 00:17:39,758
(grunts)

502
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:43,562
When I, uh, I left NCIS,

503
00:17:43,629 --> 00:17:46,732
I moved into the private sector as a security consultant.

504
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,668
My firm has multiple contracts with the government,

505
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:52,538
most of which require DoD approval.

506
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:54,473
It's a good living.

507
00:17:55,674 --> 00:17:59,445
Look, I know that coming forward is high-risk and low-reward.

508
00:17:59,511 --> 00:18:01,079
I worry about my own career.

509
00:18:01,146 --> 00:18:03,315
But I also know that if people

510
00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:05,584
like you and me don't come forward,

511
00:18:05,651 --> 00:18:07,152
nothing will ever change.

512
00:18:07,219 --> 00:18:09,321
(whispers): I have two daughters to support.

513
00:18:09,388 --> 00:18:12,424
I have a daughter, too. And aren't you sick of it?

514
00:18:12,491 --> 00:18:14,426
Watching your mediocre male colleagues just drift up

515
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:17,463
the ladder with a slap on the back and an attaboy?

516
00:18:17,529 --> 00:18:19,698
While people like you and me work twice as hard

517
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:21,433
just to stay in the game,

518
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,836
and still get demoted and disciplined?

519
00:18:23,902 --> 00:18:26,638
Am I sick of swimming in a sea of white male privilege?

520
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:27,840
Of course I am.

521
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:29,842
If Deputy Director Van Cleef gets DoD,

522
00:18:29,908 --> 00:18:31,844
how will things ever change for our girls?

523
00:18:31,910 --> 00:18:35,781
It took me a long time to get over what Van Cleef did to me.

524
00:18:35,848 --> 00:18:39,785
I'm a single mom. I've made a good life for us.

525
00:18:39,852 --> 00:18:41,487
I'm not just gonna throw that away.

526
00:18:41,553 --> 00:18:43,121
I understand.

527
00:18:43,188 --> 00:18:45,224
Do you?

528
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:46,859
Because I can't become another one

529
00:18:46,925 --> 00:18:49,294
of Van Cleef's casualties.

530
00:18:49,361 --> 00:18:51,797
I'm not gonna end up like Maya Caldwell.

531
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:52,831
Who?

532
00:18:52,898 --> 00:18:56,368
Maya. The one who died.

533
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,740
Agent Pride.

534
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,775
Deputy Director Van Cleef.

535
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:05,911
I apologize for not doing this on the phone,

536
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,913
but, as I'm sure you understand,

537
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,882
certain things need to be handled face-to-face.

538
00:19:09,948 --> 00:19:11,917
Of course. I didn't know you were in town.

539
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:13,585
I shouldn't be.

540
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:16,188
I should be in D.C. prepping for confirmation.

541
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,422
I heard about your promotion.

542
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:17,489
Congratulations.

543
00:19:17,489 --> 00:19:18,504
Thank you.

544
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:18,504
Congratulations.

545
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:19,157
Thank you.

546
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,760
Chief of Naval Operations. Big deal.

547
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:23,629
I'll be a member of the Joint Chiefs,

548
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:26,465
military advisor to the National Security Council.

549
00:19:26,532 --> 00:19:29,501
Yes, sir, that's very prestigious.

550
00:19:29,568 --> 00:19:31,236
I've been working toward a position like this

551
00:19:31,303 --> 00:19:32,437
for nearly four decades.

552
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,173
And yet you're here with me.

553
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,176
The only thing standing between me and my future

554
00:19:38,243 --> 00:19:40,245
is a Senate confirmation hearing.

555
00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:43,282
And that was all but a formality until yesterday.

556
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:45,517
What happened yesterday?

557
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:46,919
Hannah Khoury.

558
00:19:46,985 --> 00:19:48,854
Did you really think I wouldn't hear

559
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:50,289
about what she's been doing?

560
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:52,190
She never accepted her demotion.

561
00:19:52,257 --> 00:19:53,492
I'm not sure what you think...

562
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,327
I'm not speculating. I know.

563
00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:56,595
I have eyes and ears

564
00:19:56,662 --> 00:19:58,330
everywhere at NCIS,

565
00:19:58,397 --> 00:20:00,632
and all the way up and down the chain of command at the DoD.

566
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:02,434
She's trying to find dirt on me.

567
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,803
And this never would've happened if she'd been put in her place

568
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:05,904
like I wanted.

569
00:20:05,971 --> 00:20:08,941
Honestly, sir, this is news to me.

570
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:10,776
Well, maybe she's playing you for a fool.

571
00:20:10,842 --> 00:20:12,678
Or maybe you're in it together.

572
00:20:12,744 --> 00:20:14,212
But it doesn't matter. She's reckless,

573
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,281
emotional, and out of control.

574
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:20,686
Call her off, or hers won't be the only career that she ends.

575
00:20:33,532 --> 00:20:35,667
Dwayne, I was just about to call you.

576
00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:36,868
Lab results?

577
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:38,370
Animal hair found

578
00:20:38,437 --> 00:20:42,307
in the claw marks on the body was from a bobcat.

579
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:44,543
Sebastian was hoping for a Rougarou.

580
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:45,944
(laughs) Let him down gently.

581
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:47,346
(chuckles softly)

582
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:48,880
(water running)

583
00:20:50,048 --> 00:20:51,817
(water stops)

584
00:20:51,883 --> 00:20:53,619
One of those days?

585
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:55,787
Yeah. That's an understatement.

586
00:20:55,854 --> 00:20:56,955
Just got my ass handed to me

587
00:20:57,022 --> 00:20:59,524
by Deputy Director Van Cleef.

588
00:20:59,591 --> 00:21:00,826
What's he upset about?

589
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:02,294
I'm not quite sure yet.

590
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:02,361
He didn't tell you?

591
00:21:02,361 --> 00:21:04,563
I didn't ask.

592
00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:05,564
Okay.

593
00:21:05,631 --> 00:21:08,467
But I-I think it has something to do with Hannah.

594
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:10,902
But I haven't had a chance to ask her because she's busy

595
00:21:10,969 --> 00:21:13,271
doing whatever it is that's pissing Van Cleef off.

596
00:21:13,338 --> 00:21:14,740
I'm sure she had a good reason.

597
00:21:14,806 --> 00:21:16,942
And that's just one front I'm fighting.

598
00:21:17,009 --> 00:21:20,579
Linda's in town to do some wedding planning for Laurel.

599
00:21:20,646 --> 00:21:21,780
I take it it's not going well.

600
00:21:21,847 --> 00:21:23,015
It was fine.

601
00:21:23,081 --> 00:21:26,752
At first. Awkward but pleasant.

602
00:21:26,818 --> 00:21:28,320
What happened?

603
00:21:28,387 --> 00:21:30,055
20 years of baggage.

604
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:32,024
(laughs softly) Sorry.

605
00:21:32,090 --> 00:21:33,792
We both moved on.

606
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:37,062
We're both happy with the people we're with, but...

607
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:40,666
Sometimes when a wound hasn't properly healed,

608
00:21:40,732 --> 00:21:43,301
it doesn't take much to aggravate the injury.

609
00:21:43,368 --> 00:21:45,037
She said I abandoned her for the people

610
00:21:45,103 --> 00:21:47,906
I was trying to save on the job.

611
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:48,907
Worst part is,

612
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:51,510
she's not wrong.

613
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:54,946
That's me in a nutshell.

614
00:21:55,013 --> 00:21:57,783
It takes a big man to admit something like that.

615
00:21:57,849 --> 00:22:01,687
Oh, I-I didn't admit it to her.

616
00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:03,755
Everything that's happened in my life...

617
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:08,894
...goes back to my mother, Red and Cassius.

618
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,897
Even the failure of my marriage.

619
00:22:11,963 --> 00:22:13,865
Those are powerful insights.

620
00:22:13,932 --> 00:22:15,967
Insights don't change the past.

621
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:22,741
HANNAH: I'm sorry I didn't come to you first,

622
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:22,808
I'm sorry I kept you out of the loop.

623
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:24,743
Don't apologize.

624
00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:26,945
But just please tell me what's going on.

625
00:22:27,012 --> 00:22:28,613
I don't know where to start.

626
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,449
How about the beginning?

627
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:32,951
You have a past with Van Cleef.

628
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:36,621
You wouldn't tell me about it before. But now...

629
00:22:40,125 --> 00:22:41,593
Seven years ago, there was an attack

630
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:43,428
on our naval base in Bahrain.

631
00:22:43,495 --> 00:22:44,930
I was working counterterrorism.

632
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:47,365
We tied the attack to an ISIS cell in Algeria.

633
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:48,900
I was sent to scoop them up,

634
00:22:48,967 --> 00:22:51,903
D.C. sent their man to supervise.

635
00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:53,004
Van Cleef?

636
00:22:53,071 --> 00:22:55,907
We clashed from the start.

637
00:22:55,974 --> 00:22:57,442
He didn't want to use local resources.

638
00:22:57,509 --> 00:22:59,444
Thought everyone was a double agent.

639
00:22:59,511 --> 00:23:01,713
Wanted a clean mission.

640
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:04,082
But I was boots on the ground, I knew there was no such thing,

641
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:06,818
so I set up a network of informants.

642
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:08,120
Only way to get intel.

643
00:23:08,186 --> 00:23:10,122
Yeah, I cultivated one who was the real deal.

644
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:12,524
Young man named Farid.

645
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:14,025
He took some convincing.

646
00:23:14,092 --> 00:23:16,094
His wife didn't want him to get involved.

647
00:23:16,161 --> 00:23:17,963
The intelligence he provided led to the capture

648
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:19,865
of the entire ISIS cell.

649
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:19,931
But...

650
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:21,733
Somehow his identity

651
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,002
was leaked t-to the Algerian press.

652
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,872
The next day his face was all over the newspapers,

653
00:23:26,938 --> 00:23:30,008
the... television.

654
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:32,010
I guaranteed his safety.

655
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:34,479
He was beaten to death in his own home,

656
00:23:34,546 --> 00:23:35,814
in front of his wife and his children.

657
00:23:35,881 --> 00:23:37,883
27 years old, just trying to do the right thing.

658
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:39,985
I didn't get to him in time.

659
00:23:40,051 --> 00:23:41,586
How was his identity leaked?

660
00:23:41,653 --> 00:23:42,921
Van Cleef accused me.

661
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,056
I did everything by protocol. I don't know how it could've been me.

662
00:23:45,123 --> 00:23:48,160
I-I asked him to launch an investigation, but he wouldn't.

663
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,828
So all the blame landed on you.

664
00:23:49,895 --> 00:23:51,663
Yeah, I was transferred and disciplined.

665
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:53,899
That's painful. I'm sorry.

666
00:23:53,965 --> 00:23:55,901
But that was a long time ago.

667
00:23:55,967 --> 00:23:57,169
Why go after Van Cleef now?

668
00:23:57,235 --> 00:23:58,904
Something that Carter said

669
00:23:58,970 --> 00:24:00,839
when we found out Van Cleef was going to DoD.

670
00:24:00,906 --> 00:24:02,440
He said that there was another female agent

671
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,576
who'd had a bad experience with Van Cleef.

672
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:07,078
That she got a raw deal, just like me.

673
00:24:07,145 --> 00:24:09,114
Something just clicked.

674
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:14,119
I've been living with the guilt of Farid's death for so long.

675
00:24:14,186 --> 00:24:16,521
I knew that Van Cleef had a problem with me.

676
00:24:16,588 --> 00:24:19,157
I-I just never considered it could be more than that.

677
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:21,960
Who gave you access to Van Cleef's files?

678
00:24:22,027 --> 00:24:25,030
Winchester. I tried to keep it quiet.

679
00:24:25,096 --> 00:24:26,832
Van Cleef knows what you're doing.

680
00:24:26,898 --> 00:24:30,001
I'm so sorry you got dragged into this.

681
00:24:30,068 --> 00:24:33,071
You got nothing to apologize to me for.

682
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:35,473
But since I'm in,

683
00:24:35,540 --> 00:24:37,776
why don't you show me what you got?

684
00:24:39,611 --> 00:24:41,980
NOPD found Daniel Sloan's car,

685
00:24:42,047 --> 00:24:44,015
exactly where the swamp tour dude said it would be.

686
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:45,717
Yeah, he was out there myth-busting.

687
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:47,085
GREGORIO: There's another set of tire tracks.

688
00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:48,987
Yeah, two cars went in, only one went out.

689
00:24:49,054 --> 00:24:51,022
We get any more information on these tracks?

690
00:24:51,089 --> 00:24:54,993
Nothing useful. But I did find a phone in Daniel Sloan's car.

691
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:56,895
And what did you learn?

692
00:24:56,962 --> 00:24:58,730
He uses his birthday as his password.

693
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:01,032
And he seems to have a girlfriend.

694
00:25:01,099 --> 00:25:02,934
Meet Stacy Ulrich.

695
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:04,169
Wait, how did we not know about her?

696
00:25:04,236 --> 00:25:06,037
The texts only go back a few weeks.

697
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:07,806
Seems like a new relationship.

698
00:25:07,873 --> 00:25:09,174
Sebastian, let's go talk to Stacy.

699
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:14,112
You definitely have the data to back up your claims.

700
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:16,548
He was disciplining female agents

701
00:25:16,615 --> 00:25:19,150
at almost five times the rate as male agents.

702
00:25:19,217 --> 00:25:20,752
Yeah, and all of the women had otherwise clean records.

703
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:22,087
None of the men did.

704
00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:24,022
What I don't have is human corroboration.

705
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:26,057
What can I do to help?

706
00:25:26,124 --> 00:25:29,794
(sighs) I don't know, this thing has taken on a life of its own.

707
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:31,129
There is one thing.

708
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,965
There's a woman that I heard about, a Maya Caldwell.

709
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:37,135
She was on a mission with Van Cleef out of Kuala Lumpur.

710
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:38,770
I don't remember that name.

711
00:25:38,837 --> 00:25:40,205
It's not there.

712
00:25:40,272 --> 00:25:43,108
I don't have access to the file. It's from ten years ago.

713
00:25:43,174 --> 00:25:45,110
Winchester only gave me seven years' worth of files.

714
00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:46,945
Well, what do you know about the mission?

715
00:25:47,012 --> 00:25:49,814
Nothing. It was classified.

716
00:25:49,881 --> 00:25:51,316
All I know is that Maya Caldwell

717
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,752
died in a car crash

718
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:56,588
less than a year after her assignment with Van Cleef.

719
00:25:56,655 --> 00:25:58,790
And that her family lives in Atlanta.

720
00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:02,827
You think her death was somehow connected to Van Cleef?

721
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:05,764
Emily Landau sure does.

722
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:09,067
Hannah, look, I'm here to support you.

723
00:26:09,134 --> 00:26:11,836
And I don't want to rush in and try to save the day.

724
00:26:11,903 --> 00:26:13,171
I know you got this.

725
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:16,841
So you tell me, what do you want to do?

726
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:20,879
I need to know more about how Maya Caldwell died.

727
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:22,847
Then let's go to Atlanta.

728
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:24,316
Okay.

729
00:26:40,298 --> 00:26:41,800
Clear!

730
00:26:41,866 --> 00:26:43,068
Clear.

731
00:26:43,134 --> 00:26:44,869
She's not here.

732
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:46,838
What the hell's going on here?

733
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,154
We were so close growing up.

734
00:27:03,221 --> 00:27:05,991
Sometimes it's hard to believe that it's been almost ten years

735
00:27:06,057 --> 00:27:07,826
since my sister died.

736
00:27:07,892 --> 00:27:10,362
She never met my husband, my kids.

737
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:10,428
I'm so sorry.

738
00:27:10,428 --> 00:27:12,297
Thank you.

739
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:14,733
She was an amazing person, but...

740
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:16,768
you're not here to listen to me gush about Maya.

741
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:20,105
I'm interested in her time at NCIS.

742
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:21,706
Especially her last mission.

743
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:21,773
What do you know about it?

744
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:24,275
Not much.

745
00:27:24,342 --> 00:27:27,679
She was in Kuala Lumpur for about a year, and then home.

746
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:29,147
Did she tell you what she was working on?

747
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:30,782
She never talked about work.

748
00:27:30,849 --> 00:27:32,250
And most of it was classified.

749
00:27:32,317 --> 00:27:34,285
That was one of the hardest things,

750
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:36,087
especially after she came home.

751
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:37,856
She couldn't talk about any of it.

752
00:27:37,922 --> 00:27:40,291
Maya really needed to talk to someone.

753
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:41,726
Did she ever say anything

754
00:27:41,793 --> 00:27:44,062
about a supervisor named Van Cleef?

755
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,664
Ah, yeah.

756
00:27:46,731 --> 00:27:48,133
That name I heard a lot.

757
00:27:48,199 --> 00:27:49,701
Uh, nothing specific,

758
00:27:49,768 --> 00:27:50,568
but...

759
00:27:50,635 --> 00:27:52,804
I could tell he'd done something to her.

760
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:52,871
Done something?

761
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:54,706
He was the reason

762
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:55,740
she left NCIS.

763
00:27:55,807 --> 00:27:55,807
She said that?

764
00:27:55,807 --> 00:27:57,275
Yeah.

765
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:58,777
Whatever happened there,

766
00:27:58,843 --> 00:27:59,911
it was the beginning

767
00:27:59,978 --> 00:28:01,846
of the end for her.

768
00:28:01,913 --> 00:28:03,882
What was her transition like to the private sector?

769
00:28:03,948 --> 00:28:05,884
There wasn't one. She took some time off,

770
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,919
tried to transition into teaching.

771
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:07,986
Teaching?

772
00:28:07,986 --> 00:28:09,220
She said

773
00:28:09,287 --> 00:28:10,755
teaching was all she could do.

774
00:28:10,822 --> 00:28:12,157
She knew seven languages.

775
00:28:12,223 --> 00:28:14,859
She didn't look for security positions?

776
00:28:14,926 --> 00:28:16,694
With her background and experience, she should have had

777
00:28:16,761 --> 00:28:18,096
her pick of consulting jobs.

778
00:28:18,163 --> 00:28:19,364
She just said she couldn't work in that field.

779
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:20,932
No one would hire her.

780
00:28:20,999 --> 00:28:23,101
Van Cleef may have gotten her clearance revoked.

781
00:28:24,803 --> 00:28:27,739
She never said that, but it explains a lot.

782
00:28:27,806 --> 00:28:30,875
She kept saying that man ruined her future.

783
00:28:32,944 --> 00:28:34,712
I think she was depressed.

784
00:28:34,779 --> 00:28:35,914
I know she was self-medicating.

785
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:38,416
First alcohol, then pills.

786
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:40,718
Before, Maya was...

787
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:43,354
she was a force of nature.

788
00:28:43,421 --> 00:28:47,826
Confident, funny, generous.

789
00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:49,127
Sounds like she was a great big sister.

790
00:28:49,194 --> 00:28:50,895
Yeah, the best.

791
00:28:50,962 --> 00:28:54,732
But when she came home, she was smaller, somehow.

792
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:55,900
She f-folded in

793
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:57,469
on herself.

794
00:28:57,535 --> 00:28:59,904
Van Cleef wasn't in Maya's car the night she wrapped it

795
00:28:59,971 --> 00:29:02,373
around that tree, but he might as well have been.

796
00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:06,911
As far as I'm concerned, he's the reason she's dead.

797
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:11,983
SEBASTIAN: Okay, thanks. Yep.

798
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:15,854
So, Carter, uh, found a neighbor who heard screaming

799
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,822
and a loud male voice coming from Stacy's house.

800
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,891
Oh. How neighborly not to call the cops.

801
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:22,026
I guess Stacy was abducted from her house.

802
00:29:22,093 --> 00:29:23,995
Listen, we need to rethink this.

803
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:26,197
Whoever abducted Stacy killed Daniel, too,

804
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:27,832
so who are we looking for?

805
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:29,134
What's the motive?

806
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,835
Well, I mean, I'm-I'm just spitballing here,

807
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:32,837
but maybe it's a-a romantic rival?

808
00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:34,973
Well, that would explain killing Daniel and keeping Stacy alive.

809
00:29:35,039 --> 00:29:35,907
If she is still alive.

810
00:29:35,974 --> 00:29:38,543
I think she is, but who knows for how long.

811
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,178
I got something.

812
00:29:40,245 --> 00:29:40,245
But it's dark.

813
00:29:40,245 --> 00:29:42,046
Let's hear it.

814
00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:44,249
I was looking for any kind of online footprint

815
00:29:44,315 --> 00:29:47,185
that would include Daniel Sloan and Stacy Ulrich.

816
00:29:47,252 --> 00:29:49,087
Now, aside from the dating app they met on,

817
00:29:49,154 --> 00:29:50,955
I found a site on the darknet

818
00:29:51,022 --> 00:29:52,423
that mentioned them both by name.

819
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:55,793
Well, who posted it?

820
00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:57,328
Well, it's anonymous.

821
00:29:57,395 --> 00:29:59,264
But it's a website where the participant can write

822
00:29:59,330 --> 00:30:01,432
their murder/rape/whatever fantasy.

823
00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:03,067
He wrote a fantasy about having sex

824
00:30:03,134 --> 00:30:05,203
with Stacy in the aftermath of the murder

825
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:07,438
of her previous boyfriend Daniel Sloan.

826
00:30:07,505 --> 00:30:08,706
People write stuff like this online?

827
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:11,376
Of course, Sebastian. There's a lot of twisted crap out there.

828
00:30:11,442 --> 00:30:13,044
They get off on having an audience.

829
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:15,046
They feel safely hidden behind firewalls.

830
00:30:15,113 --> 00:30:17,182
This is a major firewall.

831
00:30:17,248 --> 00:30:20,051
Okay. So maybe this is a-a stalker

832
00:30:20,118 --> 00:30:21,553
who thought that Daniel Sloan was his only obstacle

833
00:30:21,619 --> 00:30:21,619
to getting what he wanted?

834
00:30:21,619 --> 00:30:23,888
GREGORIO: Right.

835
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:26,891
So he shows up at her house, she's not smitten.

836
00:30:26,958 --> 00:30:29,394
Nothing's going according to the fantasy.

837
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:31,296
He has to abduct her to get her to go

838
00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:33,198
wherever he wants her to go.

839
00:30:33,264 --> 00:30:35,900
That would infuriate him, and if that's the case,

840
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:37,969
he'd start to decompensate,

841
00:30:38,036 --> 00:30:41,406
meaning he'd become more delusional, more erratic,

842
00:30:41,472 --> 00:30:42,574
more violent.

843
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,908
I need that I.P. address, fast.

844
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:44,976
I'm looking for a back door.

845
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:46,110
I'm in.

846
00:30:46,177 --> 00:30:47,145
I.P. address is an apartment

847
00:30:47,212 --> 00:30:49,447
leased to a Kevin McCabe.

848
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:50,915
That's the lab tech who worked with Daniel.

849
00:30:50,982 --> 00:30:52,850
All right, send it to my GPS.

850
00:30:57,055 --> 00:30:58,323
Federal agents!

851
00:30:58,389 --> 00:30:59,424
SEBASTIAN: Kevin McCabe,

852
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:01,025
put your hands up.

853
00:31:01,092 --> 00:31:02,994
Come on, Kevin, you don't want to do that.

854
00:31:03,061 --> 00:31:04,028
Let her go.

855
00:31:04,095 --> 00:31:05,163
I had to tie her up.

856
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:07,298
She wasn't being nice to me!

857
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:09,067
Because you're scaring her.

858
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:11,869
She's afraid of you.

859
00:31:11,936 --> 00:31:14,305
If it wasn't for Dan,

860
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:15,473
we could've been together.

861
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:17,108
I had to get rid of him.

862
00:31:17,175 --> 00:31:20,044
But Stacy just needs some time.

863
00:31:20,111 --> 00:31:21,246
Right, Stacy?

864
00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:25,149
You just need a little time.

865
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:26,918
(grunts) No...

866
00:31:26,985 --> 00:31:28,653
GREGORIO: See?

867
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,089
She wants it to work between the two of you.

868
00:31:34,025 --> 00:31:35,927
(muffled cries)

869
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:37,128
She does?

870
00:31:37,195 --> 00:31:38,096
Yeah.

871
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:41,266
Look at her face. She's not lying.

872
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:47,272
(groaning)

873
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,310
It's over. Okay?

874
00:31:53,144 --> 00:31:54,078
Yeah.

875
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:57,482
You're gonna be okay. All right?

876
00:31:58,483 --> 00:31:59,584
You lied to me.

877
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:03,021
Yeah. I did.

878
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:05,657
Not bad for a day's work.

879
00:32:05,723 --> 00:32:08,259
Yeah. You know, you were really impressive up there.

880
00:32:08,326 --> 00:32:10,328
Zoned right in on his pathology.

881
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:10,395
Saved two lives.

882
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:12,263
Thanks.

883
00:32:12,330 --> 00:32:12,330
Not too shabby yourself.

884
00:32:12,330 --> 00:32:14,632
Thank you.

885
00:32:14,699 --> 00:32:17,135
Though I got to say this case has really just

886
00:32:17,201 --> 00:32:19,037
killed my interest in the Rougarou.

887
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:20,471
Good.

888
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:23,207
What, are you taking joy in my shattered illusion?

889
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:24,542
No, I'm not taking joy in it.

890
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:26,277
I'm just happy you're ditching the idiocy.

891
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:27,278
Idiocy?

892
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:28,479
I call it like I see it, bro.

893
00:32:28,546 --> 00:32:30,682
You know what, maybe I won't give it up.

894
00:32:30,748 --> 00:32:31,683
Oh, here we go.

895
00:32:31,749 --> 00:32:33,084
I mean, these creatures,

896
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:34,385
mythical or not, they, uh...

897
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:36,020
they make the world interesting.

898
00:32:36,087 --> 00:32:37,689
So, basically, this case reinforced your pathetic

899
00:32:37,755 --> 00:32:40,191
fascination with a stupid swamp creature?

900
00:32:40,258 --> 00:32:43,294
No, actually you did back there when...

901
00:32:43,361 --> 00:32:45,029
Wait a minute.

902
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:45,096
What?

903
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:45,610
I know what you just did.

904
00:32:45,610 --> 00:32:45,610
What?

905
00:32:45,610 --> 00:32:46,497
I know what you just did.

906
00:32:46,564 --> 00:32:48,099
You reverse psychology'd me.

907
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:48,166
Oh, get out of here.

908
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:49,067
No. Yeah.

909
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:50,702
You said something was stupid and pathetic

910
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:50,768
to get my hackles up.

911
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:51,610
(scoffs)

912
00:32:51,610 --> 00:32:51,610
to get my hackles up.

913
00:32:51,610 --> 00:32:52,403
(scoffs)

914
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:53,538
Because you knew how I was gonna react.

915
00:32:53,604 --> 00:32:55,106
You're crazy. I did not.

916
00:32:55,173 --> 00:32:56,107
Yeah, you did.

917
00:32:56,174 --> 00:32:57,642
Hey, knock it off.

918
00:32:57,709 --> 00:32:59,177
You know what, Tammy Gregorio?

919
00:32:59,243 --> 00:33:01,112
You may have this prickly exterior,

920
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,980
but I see your soft and creamy center.

921
00:33:03,047 --> 00:33:05,049
You're disgusting.

922
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:06,984
It was not the right choice of words, I agree.

923
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:07,051
You want a creamy pop?

924
00:33:07,051 --> 00:33:08,486
What are you doing?

925
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:09,320
Why are you coming over here?

926
00:33:09,387 --> 00:33:11,155
Leave me alone. I'm a federal agent!

927
00:33:13,124 --> 00:33:15,226
How'd it go in Atlanta?

928
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:16,461
It was sad.

929
00:33:16,527 --> 00:33:18,129
The sister couldn't help?

930
00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:20,198
No.

931
00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:22,600
None of the women who Van Cleef screwed over

932
00:33:22,667 --> 00:33:24,168
wanted to come forward, so...

933
00:33:24,235 --> 00:33:25,470
I don't know. Maybe I'm in over my head.

934
00:33:25,536 --> 00:33:27,638
Maybe I should just let it go.

935
00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:29,507
I don't think so.

936
00:33:29,574 --> 00:33:31,676
There's something I need to tell you

937
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,478
about your mission in Algeria.

938
00:33:35,146 --> 00:33:36,314
How'd you know about that?

939
00:33:36,381 --> 00:33:37,548
I read the file.

940
00:33:37,615 --> 00:33:37,615
Well, I don't need to read the file, I lived it.

941
00:33:37,615 --> 00:33:39,610
Fair enough.

942
00:33:39,610 --> 00:33:39,610
Well, I don't need to read the file, I lived it.

943
00:33:39,610 --> 00:33:40,151
Fair enough.

944
00:33:40,218 --> 00:33:42,019
But I did need to read it.

945
00:33:42,086 --> 00:33:45,156
And I know about the informant who got exposed, his death.

946
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:47,291
And that Van Cleef submitted a report blaming you

947
00:33:47,358 --> 00:33:48,793
for the whole fiasco.

948
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:50,161
The thing is,

949
00:33:50,228 --> 00:33:52,230
he wrongly blamed you for it.

950
00:33:52,296 --> 00:33:53,464
Well, it was complicated.

951
00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:55,066
No, not really.

952
00:33:55,133 --> 00:33:57,034
What did you find?

953
00:33:57,101 --> 00:33:59,270
A photo of your informant was leaked to the Algerian press.

954
00:33:59,337 --> 00:34:00,438
I tracked the photo down.

955
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:00,505
Why?

956
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:02,106
'Cause I wanted to figure out

957
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:03,541
how  it got leaked.

958
00:34:03,608 --> 00:34:06,444
It was an official NCIS informant photo.

959
00:34:06,511 --> 00:34:07,678
It was hacked from someone's phone.

960
00:34:07,745 --> 00:34:09,580
They never figured out who. Van Cleef was sure it was mine.

961
00:34:09,647 --> 00:34:13,451
Yeah, well, they didn't have Patton Plame on the payroll.

962
00:34:13,518 --> 00:34:15,453
Don't tell me that you got Patton involved in this.

963
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,454
He wouldn't shut up

964
00:34:16,521 --> 00:34:18,790
until I agreed to let him help.

965
00:34:18,856 --> 00:34:21,259
He dug into the metadata found in the JPEG image,

966
00:34:21,324 --> 00:34:23,094
tracked it back to the cell phone

967
00:34:23,161 --> 00:34:24,429
from where it was hacked.

968
00:34:24,495 --> 00:34:26,264
It wasn't your phone, Hannah.

969
00:34:26,330 --> 00:34:28,099
It was Van Cleef's.

970
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:28,166
Are you sure about this?

971
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,435
Yeah.

972
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:32,303
He threw you under the bus to cover

973
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:33,538
for his own security breach.

974
00:34:33,603 --> 00:34:33,603
You can prove this?

975
00:34:33,603 --> 00:34:33,610
Yeah.

976
00:34:33,610 --> 00:34:33,610
You can prove this?

977
00:34:33,610 --> 00:34:36,107
Yeah.

978
00:34:36,174 --> 00:34:37,708
Patton and I will stand up behind whatever it is

979
00:34:37,775 --> 00:34:39,210
you want to do with this.

980
00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:45,616
So... what's it gonna be?

981
00:34:45,683 --> 00:34:48,518
I'm gonna go public.

982
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:02,233
VAN CLEEF:  I'm heading back to D.C. in two hours.

983
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:05,136
I need to know that you've got this Khouri mess under control.

984
00:35:05,203 --> 00:35:06,037
Oh, it's taken care of, sir.

985
00:35:06,103 --> 00:35:08,439
I hope you're not just placating me, Pride.

986
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:11,542
And that you understand the severity of the situation.

987
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:12,877
My Senate hearing is on the calendar

988
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:14,011
for the end of the month.

989
00:35:14,078 --> 00:35:17,815
If Special Agent Khoury is within a hundred-mile radius

990
00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:19,217
of D.C. at that time...

991
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:22,587
Please go on. What will you do?

992
00:35:22,653 --> 00:35:24,555
What the hell is she doing here?

993
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:26,491
Don't talk to him. You can talk to me.

994
00:35:26,557 --> 00:35:28,559
What happens if I go anywhere near D.C.?

995
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:30,394
You arrange this?

996
00:35:30,461 --> 00:35:31,462
HANNAH: You'll ruin my career?

997
00:35:31,529 --> 00:35:33,431
Have my clearance revoked?

998
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:34,499
Frame me for a leak?

999
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:36,567
Damn it, Pride, I told you to rein this woman in.

1000
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:37,702
This woman has a mind of her own.

1001
00:35:37,768 --> 00:35:40,338
I've already notified the Senate Armed Services committee

1002
00:35:40,404 --> 00:35:43,274
that I'm going to testify at your confirmation hearing.

1003
00:35:43,341 --> 00:35:46,611
So I guess I will see you in D.C.

1004
00:35:46,677 --> 00:35:48,579
You'll be committing career suicide.

1005
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:48,646
Both of you.

1006
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:50,581
No. We're doing the right thing.

1007
00:35:50,648 --> 00:35:52,884
It's you who's committing career suicide.

1008
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:56,153
I know about Algeria.

1009
00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:58,656
I know that the leak that killed Farid Mokrani

1010
00:35:58,723 --> 00:35:59,857
came from your phone, not mine.

1011
00:35:59,924 --> 00:35:59,924
And I can prove it.

1012
00:35:59,924 --> 00:36:00,092
You'll look like a vindictive shrew.

1013
00:36:00,092 --> 00:36:00,092
And I can prove it.

1014
00:36:00,092 --> 00:36:03,194
You'll look like a vindictive shrew.

1015
00:36:03,261 --> 00:36:05,396
I can show patterns of gender bias

1016
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:07,832
in missions that you led going back years.

1017
00:36:07,899 --> 00:36:10,501
Patterns in the way that you disciplined, demoted,

1018
00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:11,702
and fired female agents.

1019
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:11,769
You don't have access to that kind of intelligence.

1020
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:12,092
Algeria,

1021
00:36:12,092 --> 00:36:12,092
You don't have access to that kind of intelligence.

1022
00:36:12,092 --> 00:36:14,572
Algeria,

1023
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:18,376
Seoul, Naples, Romania, Manila, Pearl Harbor.

1024
00:36:18,442 --> 00:36:19,544
Who have you been talking to?

1025
00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:21,612
It's all true, and I can prove it.

1026
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:22,847
You think you're gonna come out of this clean?

1027
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:25,182
Your record will be scrutinized.

1028
00:36:25,249 --> 00:36:26,384
Picked apart.

1029
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:26,450
They'll crucify you.

1030
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:27,919
Maybe.

1031
00:36:27,985 --> 00:36:29,854
But maybe I'll be the one to open the floodgates,

1032
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:32,823
and they can't crucify all of us.

1033
00:36:32,890 --> 00:36:35,626
I'm willing to bet on myself. How about you?

1034
00:36:35,693 --> 00:36:35,693
What do you expect me to do?

1035
00:36:35,693 --> 00:36:36,092
Resign.

1036
00:36:36,092 --> 00:36:36,092
What do you expect me to do?

1037
00:36:36,092 --> 00:36:38,429
Resign.

1038
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:40,798
Take a job in the private sector.

1039
00:36:47,004 --> 00:36:49,774
I blame you for this.

1040
00:37:00,017 --> 00:37:04,822
You are the fiercest field agent I have ever known.

1041
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,891
I wish I was a fly on that wall, though.

1042
00:37:06,958 --> 00:37:08,826
True. I got to say I'm impressed.

1043
00:37:08,893 --> 00:37:09,860
I don't know, guys, I keep waiting for

1044
00:37:09,927 --> 00:37:11,862
the director to call me and tell me I'm fired.

1045
00:37:11,929 --> 00:37:13,864
Oh, please, they can't fire you for speaking truth to power.

1046
00:37:13,931 --> 00:37:14,865
CARTER: Actually, I'm pretty sure

1047
00:37:14,932 --> 00:37:16,667
they do that all the time.

1048
00:37:16,734 --> 00:37:17,835
PRIDE: Yeah, well, not this time.

1049
00:37:17,902 --> 00:37:19,503
Just got off the phone with the director.

1050
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,838
(scoffs) God.

1051
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:22,974
No, it's all good.

1052
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,976
Van Cleef submitted his resignation,

1053
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:26,677
effective immediately.

1054
00:37:26,744 --> 00:37:29,647
What? Because of what we did?

1055
00:37:29,714 --> 00:37:30,848
What you did.

1056
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:32,717
You made yourself heard.

1057
00:37:32,783 --> 00:37:35,252
You gave other agents a voice.

1058
00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:37,688
Maybe this is just the beginning.

1059
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:39,890
I can't believe it.

1060
00:37:39,957 --> 00:37:41,525
Thank you.

1061
00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:43,260
(chuckles) I was just along for the ride.

1062
00:37:43,327 --> 00:37:44,328
You did all the heavy lifting.

1063
00:37:44,395 --> 00:37:45,496
All of you.

1064
00:37:45,563 --> 00:37:46,897
Thank you so much.

1065
00:37:46,964 --> 00:37:48,833
I asked, and you guys were both there.

1066
00:37:48,899 --> 00:37:49,834
GREGORIO: Oh, stop.

1067
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:50,935
Let's not get all sappy now.

1068
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:51,869
We've got too much to celebrate

1069
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:53,704
to be sitting in this kitchen, drinking.

1070
00:37:53,771 --> 00:37:55,339
Can we go to the bar, please?

1071
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:56,140
You go ahead.

1072
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:56,207
Laurel's coming in tonight.

1073
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:57,875
Okay.

1074
00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:59,443
I got some things I need to take care of

1075
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:00,778
before she gets here.

1076
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,282
You made a difference.

1077
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:06,584
Thanks.

1078
00:38:08,085 --> 00:38:09,654
All right, come on, let's go. What are we doing?

1079
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,756
All right, I'm wiped. One drink but only if I'm buying.

1080
00:38:11,822 --> 00:38:13,357
No argument from me. Carter?

1081
00:38:14,392 --> 00:38:16,327
Mm...

1082
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:17,628
Oh, come on. I'm not taking no for an answer.

1083
00:38:17,695 --> 00:38:18,796
Get your ass to the bar

1084
00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:20,064
and let me buy you that thank-you cocktail.

1085
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:23,300
Okay, okay, just this one time.

1086
00:38:26,404 --> 00:38:28,539
Dwayne.

1087
00:38:30,374 --> 00:38:32,443
Thank you for seeing me.

1088
00:38:34,078 --> 00:38:36,914
Um, I've been thinking about what you said.

1089
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:37,948
No, I don't think we should go there.

1090
00:38:38,015 --> 00:38:40,518
I just want to say one thing.

1091
00:38:40,584 --> 00:38:41,652
You say one thing,

1092
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,054
then I say something back,

1093
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:43,120
and then we're...

1094
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,822
Linda, damn it.

1095
00:38:44,889 --> 00:38:46,390
(sighs)

1096
00:38:46,457 --> 00:38:47,625
Will you let me talk?

1097
00:38:47,692 --> 00:38:49,527
Please?

1098
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:03,641
All I'm trying to say is...

1099
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:07,078
I'm sorry. You were right.

1100
00:39:10,147 --> 00:39:11,749
I didn't expect that.

1101
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:14,752
I've learned some things about myself recently,

1102
00:39:14,819 --> 00:39:17,922
about my past, why I do some of the things that I do.

1103
00:39:17,988 --> 00:39:21,459
What you said about me needing to rescue people,

1104
00:39:21,525 --> 00:39:25,096
be a hero... it's true.

1105
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:27,098
But until you said it,

1106
00:39:27,164 --> 00:39:31,135
I hadn't thought about how it had affected you.

1107
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:34,405
You never needed me to rescue you.

1108
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,575
No, I didn't.

1109
00:39:37,641 --> 00:39:42,413
I did the best that I knew how to do at the time.

1110
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,115
It just wasn't enough.

1111
00:39:44,181 --> 00:39:45,950
Not for us.

1112
00:39:46,016 --> 00:39:47,518
Dwayne,

1113
00:39:47,585 --> 00:39:48,886
I...

1114
00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:52,590
Thank you.

1115
00:39:58,028 --> 00:39:59,096
Okay.

1116
00:39:59,163 --> 00:40:00,931
Uh... (clears throat)

1117
00:40:00,998 --> 00:40:03,100
(woman laughing nearby)

1118
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:07,605
You want to grab a drink at the Carousel Bar, or you want...?

1119
00:40:07,671 --> 00:40:09,807
You know, maybe we, um...

1120
00:40:09,874 --> 00:40:12,009
we just quit while we're ahead.

1121
00:40:18,182 --> 00:40:19,750
(car alarm chirps)

1122
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:22,853
(Hannah sighs)

1123
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:28,025
What are you doing here?

1124
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:30,094
You think you're gonna win, don't you?

1125
00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:32,963
Gonna prove some kind of point. Right?

1126
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:34,899
Look, honestly, you need to leave.

1127
00:40:34,965 --> 00:40:37,535
No matter how many of you crawl out of the woodwork

1128
00:40:37,601 --> 00:40:39,170
to claw at me,

1129
00:40:39,236 --> 00:40:41,205
it won't make any difference.

1130
00:40:41,272 --> 00:40:42,573
Because I've spent too many years

1131
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,708
working my way up the ladder.

1132
00:40:44,775 --> 00:40:47,211
I know you think you're a very important man,

1133
00:40:47,278 --> 00:40:50,014
and I understand that.

1134
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,752
But right now you're a trespasser on my property.

1135
00:40:54,819 --> 00:40:56,554
And you have two options.

1136
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:59,190
You can leave, or I will call the cops

1137
00:40:59,256 --> 00:41:02,126
and have them remove you.

1138
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:05,462
Please choose the second option.

1139
00:41:07,865 --> 00:41:09,800
(locks door)
