00:00:07,441 --> 00:00:09,677
(tires screech)
2
00:00:14,115 --> 00:00:15,383
Tony!
3
00:00:15,483 --> 00:00:18,018
I know you're here!
4
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:20,921
You snively little runt!
5
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:24,525
I know you're in there,
you bastard!
6
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,827
Be a man and face me!
7
00:00:27,695 --> 00:00:29,530
What the hell, Sheila?
8
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,299
Hey!
9
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:33,534
Would you calm down?
10
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:35,936
Get out here,
Kaytlynn with a K
11
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:38,772
and two Ys and two Ns.
12
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:41,575
Give me a break.
What are you doing?
13
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:42,776
Hey.
14
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,981
Grande salted
caramel Americano, right?
15
00:00:48,082 --> 00:00:49,317
Okay.
16
00:00:49,417 --> 00:00:51,885
Uh, look, it's...
it's not you,
17
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:53,421
all right?
It's me.
18
00:00:53,521 --> 00:00:55,223
Okay? It's all me. I-I...
19
00:00:55,323 --> 00:00:57,425
I just want more from life.
20
00:00:57,525 --> 00:00:59,593
What more can
the barista give you--
21
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:01,829
extra foam?
Well, she
22
00:01:01,929 --> 00:01:03,364
actually pays
attention enough
23
00:01:03,464 --> 00:01:04,665
to know when I need that!
24
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,367
You have more needs
than a toddler.
25
00:01:06,467 --> 00:01:08,602
TONY:
A toddler? Only a toddler
runs around like a Tasmanian...
26
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:10,204
You know what, that's it.
27
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:11,539
I'm done with the therapy.
28
00:01:11,639 --> 00:01:13,040
I'm done with the
self-help seminars.
29
00:01:13,141 --> 00:01:14,875
And I'm done with you.
What are you doing?
30
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:16,944
What are you do... Sh-Sheila,
no, no, no, no! Hey, hey.
31
00:01:17,044 --> 00:01:17,978
Be careful, that...
32
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:18,912
that's not a toy.
33
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:20,514
I don't really care.
34
00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:23,083
(cleaning lady screams)
35
00:01:24,051 --> 00:01:26,354
(whimpers) Oh!
36
00:01:27,121 --> 00:01:29,022
(whimpering)
37
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:34,362
♪ ♪
38
00:02:05,626 --> 00:02:06,860
Who's down for
a coffee break?
39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,062
Yes, please.
I could use a caffeine kick
40
00:02:09,163 --> 00:02:11,699
to get me through
my cleaning checklist today.
41
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:13,667
Well, don't strain yourself
because you have
42
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:15,303
a date night coming up,
if I recall.
43
00:02:15,403 --> 00:02:17,004
The next Codename: Fury movie.
44
00:02:17,104 --> 00:02:20,007
I should probably get tickets
before they sell out. Mm.
45
00:02:20,107 --> 00:02:22,976
What do you think
if I get three?
46
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:24,845
Three tickets?
47
00:02:24,945 --> 00:02:26,780
Is someone joining us
on our date night?
48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,082
Well, maybe we could
bring Victoria along.
49
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:32,420
I mean, didn't you say how
she's been looking forward
50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,355
to the next Codename movie?
51
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:35,623
Oh, that is so sweet.
52
00:02:35,723 --> 00:02:36,990
Yeah, but I already
got her a sitter.
53
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,926
Well, sitters have
cancellation policies.
54
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:41,829
It's just been so long since
Victoria got to have a tea party
55
00:02:41,929 --> 00:02:43,897
with Sara, you know,
I'd hate to disappoint her.
56
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,167
Would you want to
ask Victoria first?
57
00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:50,704
Um, Sara is an influencer who
hosts Wonder Woman tea parties
58
00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:53,207
on TikTok. I mean,
we can't compete with that.
59
00:02:53,307 --> 00:02:54,775
Wonder Woman?
60
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:57,044
Can I ditch date night
and go to that party?
61
00:02:57,144 --> 00:02:59,079
(laughs)
62
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:01,114
Besides, I was kind of looking
forward to just
63
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:02,916
hanging out with you, you know?
64
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:05,519
I-I can go see the movie again
with Victoria another day.
65
00:03:05,619 --> 00:03:07,087
(phones chime)
66
00:03:09,557 --> 00:03:11,191
Uh, it's Parker.
We have a body.
67
00:03:11,292 --> 00:03:14,695
Guess that second coat of
steel polish will have to wait.
68
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,803
(door closes)
69
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:25,439
KNIGHT: It's probably nothing.
70
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:27,341
It's just...
71
00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:30,210
it almost felt like Jimmy
was feeling a little hesitant
72
00:03:30,311 --> 00:03:33,814
about me spending
more time Victoria.
73
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:36,384
Or maybe Jimmy was feeling
hesitant about you.
74
00:03:36,484 --> 00:03:37,918
Ever thought of that?
75
00:03:38,018 --> 00:03:40,120
No, but thanks for sharing.
76
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,655
Hey, just one man's opinion.
77
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:43,657
Wait. Did he say something?
No.
78
00:03:43,757 --> 00:03:45,826
And yet you have an opinion.
Not really.
79
00:03:45,926 --> 00:03:47,928
My mouth sometimes
just says stuff.
80
00:03:48,028 --> 00:03:49,330
I've noticed.
81
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:51,965
Hey, but like you said,
it's probably nothing.
82
00:03:58,506 --> 00:04:00,774
Damn.
83
00:04:00,874 --> 00:04:02,943
Looks like
a hurricane came through here.
84
00:04:03,043 --> 00:04:04,512
The victim put up
a hell of a fight.
85
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:05,579
Who is she?
86
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:07,047
Ensign Ashley Watts.
87
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:09,617
She's stationed in D.C.,
lives in Fairfax Village.
88
00:04:09,717 --> 00:04:12,185
Why would she crash at
a sleazy motel just a few miles
89
00:04:12,286 --> 00:04:13,987
away from her home?
PARKER:
Could be
90
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:15,823
what most people do
in a sleazy motel.
91
00:04:15,923 --> 00:04:18,025
Dirty deeds they don't want
others knowing about.
92
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:21,128
Perimortem bruising suggests
manual strangulation,
93
00:04:21,228 --> 00:04:24,565
and lividity tells us that she's
been here at least 12 hours.
94
00:04:24,665 --> 00:04:25,899
An out-of-the-way motel,
a struggle
95
00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:27,601
and a girl choked to death.
96
00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:29,670
Classic crime of passion.
97
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:31,104
Which means
we're looking for a lover.
98
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:32,973
Or a spouse
who wasn't a fan of the lover.
99
00:04:33,073 --> 00:04:35,275
All right, scour the room
for prints and DNA.
100
00:04:35,376 --> 00:04:37,645
Find out who she was here with.
101
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:42,049
This place doesn't have cameras
or even a front desk.
102
00:04:42,149 --> 00:04:43,484
Who booked the room?
103
00:04:43,584 --> 00:04:45,319
I contacted
the online reservation hub
104
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:47,888
as soon as I arrived. Should be
hearing from them soon.
105
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:49,823
(phone dings)
Well, that's them.
106
00:04:49,923 --> 00:04:51,892
Well, we got two options
on that reservation.
107
00:04:51,992 --> 00:04:54,027
Either Ensign Watts, or, uh,
108
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,896
the person
she was hooking up with.
109
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:58,799
What is it?
110
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,934
The room wasn't booked by Watts
or the person
111
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:03,704
she was meeting up with,
at least I hope not.
112
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:04,938
What's that supposed to mean?
113
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:06,840
The room was booked by you.
114
00:05:06,940 --> 00:05:08,842
Me?
Yeah, credit card
and reservation
115
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:10,711
are under the name Alden Parker.
116
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,850
Yeah. That's me.
117
00:05:17,785 --> 00:05:19,720
So, you come here often, or...
118
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:30,764
Hey, hey, here's an idea.
119
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:33,567
Skip lunch today.
I need this done now.
120
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:35,335
TORRES:
Man, I'd be pissed, too.
121
00:05:35,436 --> 00:05:37,605
PARKER:
Really?
Yeah, identity theft is no joke.
122
00:05:37,705 --> 00:05:39,740
All those credit cards
to cancel, passwords to reset.
123
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,542
PARKER:
What are you talking about?
124
00:05:41,642 --> 00:05:43,877
Just shoot me.
Someone cloned my
credit card once.
125
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:47,180
Went on a shopping spree
at Bob's Big Tall Formalwear.
126
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,516
PARKER: Oh, come on!
If I'm ever in Cleveland
127
00:05:48,616 --> 00:05:50,350
and I see
a six-foot, ten-inch dude
128
00:05:50,451 --> 00:05:52,820
wearing a blue velvet tuxedo,
oh, oh, oh.
129
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,122
Well, at least somebody's happy.
130
00:05:55,222 --> 00:05:56,189
Everything okay?
131
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:57,991
It is for my accountant.
132
00:05:58,091 --> 00:06:01,128
I have to cancel my entire life
but he gets to charge overtime.
133
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:03,797
Well, maybe you can bill whoever
really booked that motel room.
134
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:06,299
(sighs)
What else have they been up to
with your identity?
135
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,101
Uh, besides
framing you for murder.
136
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:10,471
Kasie is digging
into my digital life now.
137
00:06:10,571 --> 00:06:13,040
Luckily for me, I've got
an alibi about last night.
138
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:15,175
Sorry I couldn't
make it easy for you.
139
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:16,544
Speaking of not easy,
140
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:17,811
there wasn't a single print
in the room.
141
00:06:17,911 --> 00:06:19,179
It's been wiped clean.
142
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,048
McGEE:
Yeah, presumably
by the killer.
143
00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:22,783
As for the victim...
144
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,452
TORRES:
Hey, Parker, are you sure
you don't know her?
145
00:06:24,552 --> 00:06:27,755
Never saw her before
in my life. Details.
146
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:29,122
KNIGHT:
Ensign Watts was an accountant
147
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:30,558
with Naval Sea Systems Command.
148
00:06:30,658 --> 00:06:32,560
They build and maintain
every ship in the fleet.
149
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:35,195
C.O. said she was a solid
officer, very by-the-book.
150
00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:37,397
Well, she wasn't going by the
book at that hush-hush motel.
151
00:06:37,498 --> 00:06:39,099
She was doing something
on the D.L.
152
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,603
Dig into her life and find out
who she was doing it with.
153
00:06:47,475 --> 00:06:50,177
This isn't happening.
(woman sighs)
154
00:06:50,277 --> 00:06:52,613
Sorry for your loss.
155
00:06:52,713 --> 00:06:54,715
Are-are you sure?
Are-are you sure it's Ashley?
156
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:56,517
Unfortunately, yeah.
157
00:06:57,485 --> 00:06:59,520
(door closes)
158
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,223
She's downstairs
when you're ready to see her.
159
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:06,594
Oh, John.
It's okay, sweetheart.
160
00:07:06,694 --> 00:07:08,496
No. No.
TORRES: Or we can just, um,
161
00:07:08,596 --> 00:07:10,063
sit here and talk for a bit.
162
00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:11,899
Yeah, let's go with that.
163
00:07:13,567 --> 00:07:15,135
Was Ashley your only child?
164
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:19,507
Yes, but-but she didn't come
into our lives until she was 13.
165
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:22,309
I couldn't get pregnant.
166
00:07:22,409 --> 00:07:24,411
We had tried for years, but...
167
00:07:24,512 --> 00:07:26,413
it just didn't work.
168
00:07:26,514 --> 00:07:28,549
When we finally
decided to adopt,
169
00:07:28,649 --> 00:07:31,619
word came
about this teen in the system
170
00:07:31,719 --> 00:07:33,320
that needed a foster home.
171
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,388
We just thought
it was gonna be temporary.
172
00:07:35,489 --> 00:07:37,691
But, um...
The moment
173
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:39,693
that Ashley walked
through that door...
174
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:42,863
...she was the missing piece
that completed our family.
175
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:44,732
Not many people
would adopt a teen.
176
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:47,601
We finally became the
family we always wanted.
177
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:52,405
Can you think of anyone
178
00:07:52,506 --> 00:07:54,875
who would have had reason
to harm Ashley?
179
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:57,444
Oh. Good Lord, no.
180
00:07:57,545 --> 00:07:59,513
She was the sweetest girl.
Everyone loved her.
181
00:07:59,613 --> 00:08:02,249
This place
that you-you found her--
182
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:03,350
it was, um,
183
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:05,753
a motel here in D.C.?
184
00:08:05,853 --> 00:08:07,320
Yeah.
185
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:09,957
What was she doing
at a motel so close to home?
186
00:08:10,057 --> 00:08:13,060
Maybe she was
meeting up with Travis?
187
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,394
Who's Travis?
188
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:17,230
Travis Jacobs.
He was a new... friend.
189
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,466
Ashley had roommates, and...
190
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:22,202
they may have just wanted
to be alone?
191
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:23,604
Any idea
where this Travis lives?
192
00:08:23,704 --> 00:08:25,305
He's a few hours away
in Wilmington.
193
00:08:25,405 --> 00:08:27,507
We met him once at brunch.
194
00:08:27,608 --> 00:08:29,543
You don't think
195
00:08:29,643 --> 00:08:32,245
that Travis has something
to do with this, do you?
196
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:37,250
I think that if Travis
was in that motel with Ashley...
197
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,820
Why haven't we heard from him?
198
00:08:41,622 --> 00:08:43,557
Hey, can I get some extra mayo
with that?
199
00:08:43,657 --> 00:08:45,993
Okay, great. Thanks.
See you in 20.
200
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:49,229
I'm suddenly in the mood
for a crab roll sandwich.
201
00:08:49,329 --> 00:08:50,731
In the middle of an autopsy.
202
00:08:50,831 --> 00:08:53,233
That is not at all disgusting.
No bites for you.
203
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:56,003
I will settle
for an update on Ensign Watts. Right.
204
00:08:56,103 --> 00:08:57,304
Official cause of death
205
00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:59,306
was forced compression
of the larynx,
206
00:08:59,406 --> 00:09:02,175
which obstructed airflow
and led to asphyxiation.
207
00:09:02,275 --> 00:09:05,345
Mm, that is a lot of words
to say "strangled to death."
208
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:07,815
Her last meal is actually the
reason why I'm hungry right now.
209
00:09:07,915 --> 00:09:12,953
It was a crab roll using very
high-quality Maryland blue crab.
210
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:15,188
I am never eating again.
211
00:09:15,288 --> 00:09:18,158
I'm around death all day. I take
inspiration where I can get it.
212
00:09:18,258 --> 00:09:19,827
Anything else?
And please,
213
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:21,962
not of the
stomach-churning variety.
214
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,965
Right. Her extensive bruising
would tell us
215
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:27,467
that she fought the good fight
until her last dying breath.
216
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,403
Her elbows, arms and knees
217
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:32,973
all show injuries
218
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:35,042
at precise contact points.
219
00:09:35,142 --> 00:09:37,377
Oh, looks like me after
a martial arts sparring session.
220
00:09:37,477 --> 00:09:39,346
JIMMY:
Good eye. I think that our
victim probably had training--
221
00:09:39,446 --> 00:09:41,548
extensive training--
from the look of things.
222
00:09:41,649 --> 00:09:42,883
But she was a bean counter.
223
00:09:42,983 --> 00:09:44,484
Nowhere on her file
does it indicate
224
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,886
that she had any kind
of combat training.
225
00:09:45,986 --> 00:09:47,020
Not my department.
226
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,656
Well, it is my department.
227
00:09:48,756 --> 00:09:50,423
So thank you. I'm gonna
go update the team.
228
00:09:50,523 --> 00:09:53,126
And I'm gonna go
enjoy my crab roll.
229
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:59,232
Was there anything else
you needed?
230
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:00,768
Mm. No, that's it.
231
00:10:00,868 --> 00:10:02,903
And yet you're still here.
232
00:10:03,704 --> 00:10:06,774
(clears throat)
233
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:09,877
We're good, right?
You and me?
234
00:10:09,977 --> 00:10:12,646
Uh, you and me good how?
I mean,
235
00:10:12,746 --> 00:10:16,784
you know, like, you like that--
you-you and me?
236
00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:18,819
Well, you and me
as in "us" you and me?
237
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:20,754
Yup. That.
Well, yeah, of course.
238
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:22,756
Why are you even asking?
Oh, it's...
239
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:25,158
You know, I'm just checking in.
It's a thing people do.
240
00:10:25,258 --> 00:10:28,461
Well, I'm good if you are.
Great. I'm great.
241
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:30,030
(short chuckle)
242
00:10:30,130 --> 00:10:31,531
Okay, um,
243
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:34,201
so I'm gonna stop
being awkward now and leave.
244
00:10:34,301 --> 00:10:37,470
Hey.
Oh.
245
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:39,172
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
246
00:10:39,272 --> 00:10:41,775
(laughs softly)
247
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:44,644
KASIE:
So,
248
00:10:44,745 --> 00:10:46,947
good news for me,
bad news for you.
249
00:10:47,047 --> 00:10:50,283
How is my identity being
stolen good for you?
250
00:10:50,383 --> 00:10:53,887
Because in dissecting your
digital life to find the thief,
251
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,790
I was able to update
my future blackmail file on you.
252
00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:58,391
Next time
I put in for a vacation,
253
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,560
my dates best be approved.
254
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,295
I'll take that
under consideration.
255
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:05,398
So, the bad news is that
you have a blackmail file on me.
256
00:11:05,498 --> 00:11:08,802
No. Your bad news is a complete
stranger apparently also knows
257
00:11:08,902 --> 00:11:11,304
everything about you--
driver's license number,
258
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:13,673
mom's maiden name,
your first pet.
259
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,208
How was my personal info hacked?
260
00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:16,944
I mean, I'm hardened
against all the usual vectors.
261
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:19,479
Rootkit malware?
(scoffs) Please.
262
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:21,114
Decryption worm?
Forget about it.
263
00:11:21,214 --> 00:11:22,716
That's because
you weren't hacked,
264
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:24,384
at least
not in the traditional way.
265
00:11:24,484 --> 00:11:26,253
What is the non-traditional way?
266
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:28,455
Our perp played
the security questions angle.
267
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:30,023
You know,
those annoying questions
268
00:11:30,123 --> 00:11:31,658
you get asked
when you forget your password?
269
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,426
I never forgot my password,
but just, uh,
270
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:36,663
go on.
Our perp started by making
"lost password" claims
271
00:11:36,764 --> 00:11:38,465
to your least secure
accounts first--
272
00:11:38,565 --> 00:11:39,933
the Pastry of the Month Club,
273
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,836
Virginia Ornithology Association.
274
00:11:42,936 --> 00:11:45,505
Also some rants you dropped
on an old Sopranos blog?
275
00:11:45,605 --> 00:11:47,007
I was working
FBI Organized Crime.
276
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:49,576
Those writers were trying
to make us into imbeciles.
277
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:51,078
Either way,
278
00:11:51,178 --> 00:11:53,513
once the hacker got
their tentacles into your world,
279
00:11:53,613 --> 00:11:54,915
they were able to piece together
280
00:11:55,015 --> 00:11:56,984
your more important
log-ins and passwords.
281
00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:59,052
Just by answering
my security questions?
282
00:11:59,152 --> 00:12:01,955
Whoever did this knows
very personal things about you.
283
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:03,891
Yeah, personal things
from my past.
284
00:12:03,991 --> 00:12:07,560
Which means maybe our hacker
is someone from your past,
285
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:10,730
which brings me
to the bad, bad news.
286
00:12:10,831 --> 00:12:14,501
You never said anything
about there being bad, bad news.
287
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:16,870
Oh, my bad.
288
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:18,906
PARKER:
So, in addition
289
00:12:19,006 --> 00:12:21,208
to charging
the motel mini-bar to me,
290
00:12:21,308 --> 00:12:23,877
the person who stole my identity
also used it
291
00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:26,079
to access the DoD mainframe.
292
00:12:26,179 --> 00:12:27,447
Wait, as in the...
293
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:29,316
Department of Defense, yes.
294
00:12:29,416 --> 00:12:31,985
They get anything good?
Yeah. Files of Navy personnel.
295
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:35,823
They pulled background details
on hundreds of sailors.
296
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:37,724
Wow. More identities to steal?
297
00:12:37,825 --> 00:12:39,026
PARKER:
I don't think so.
They dug around for a while,
298
00:12:39,126 --> 00:12:40,928
but they were
awfully interested
299
00:12:41,028 --> 00:12:43,997
in one name in particular.
300
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,399
Ensign Watts.
Who's dead now.
301
00:12:46,499 --> 00:12:49,002
That's not a coincidence.
What about our victim's
302
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:50,737
new boyfriend,
Travis from Wilmington?
303
00:12:50,838 --> 00:12:52,639
You mean her new boyfriend
304
00:12:52,739 --> 00:12:54,441
that we can't locate
because there's no record
305
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:57,644
of a Travis Jacobs who matches
his description? Yeah.
306
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:59,346
If that isn't sketchy enough,
turns out
307
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:01,548
Travis, uh, magically popped up
in Watts' life
308
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:03,316
the very next day after
309
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:04,918
her file was accessed.
310
00:13:05,018 --> 00:13:07,054
Well, that doesn't sound
like a coincidence, either.
311
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:09,422
Whoever this Travis guy is disappeared.
312
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:10,657
Sounds like we got a ghost.
313
00:13:10,757 --> 00:13:12,525
Well, then call me
a Ghostbuster,
314
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,127
'cause I got a hit
on our mystery man.
315
00:13:14,227 --> 00:13:16,129
The restaurant where
Ashley and her parents
316
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:18,198
had brunch with Travis at
has cameras.
317
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:21,034
Well, the ghost
is doing a good job
318
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,802
playing the loving boyfriend.
319
00:13:22,903 --> 00:13:24,737
All right,
running facial rec now.
320
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:33,446
Something about
this guy looks...
321
00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:37,851
McGEE:
Okay, got a hit. Travis'
real name is Ryan Aaronson.
322
00:13:37,951 --> 00:13:39,853
And, uh, big shocker--
he's got a record.
323
00:13:39,953 --> 00:13:41,521
You got to be kidding me.
324
00:13:41,621 --> 00:13:43,924
Parker, you know this guy?
325
00:13:44,024 --> 00:13:47,560
No. But I know Ryan's mother.
326
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,462
He is the son
327
00:13:49,562 --> 00:13:51,698
of Joy Aaronson,
328
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:56,269
but I know her as Joy Sullivan.
329
00:13:56,369 --> 00:13:58,371
And who's Joy Sullivan?
330
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:02,609
She was...
331
00:14:02,709 --> 00:14:05,312
my first love
when I was just a kid.
332
00:14:09,316 --> 00:14:11,784
Unfortunately, your,
uh, first love's son
333
00:14:11,885 --> 00:14:14,254
is now our prime murder suspect.
334
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,469
Joy Sullivan.
She sounds sweet.
335
00:14:29,569 --> 00:14:32,072
"Sweet" is not how
I would describe Joy.
336
00:14:32,172 --> 00:14:34,074
She was a force
of nature.
337
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:35,442
Hey, Parker,
seems like you have a type.
338
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,710
She reminds me a lot
of your ex-wife. Vivian?
339
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,412
Yeah, we kind of assumed
that she was the one
340
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:40,880
you still carried the torch for.
341
00:14:40,981 --> 00:14:42,582
Okay, so how did you
mess things up with this one?
342
00:14:42,682 --> 00:14:45,818
Wait a minute. Why-why are you
assuming it was his fault?
343
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:47,387
Look at that face, that hair.
344
00:14:47,487 --> 00:14:49,789
Of course
Parker was a heartbreaker.
(sighs)
345
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:51,658
Joy and I grew up
back in Philly.
346
00:14:51,758 --> 00:14:54,727
We're talking peas-in-a-pod,
inseparable
347
00:14:54,827 --> 00:14:56,563
until, uh...
348
00:14:56,663 --> 00:14:58,966
her family moved away
junior year.
349
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:00,300
You didn't stay in touch?
350
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,834
Well, not for lack of trying.
351
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:03,203
I mean, I wrote...
352
00:15:03,303 --> 00:15:05,538
wrote her every week for, um...
353
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:07,874
(scoffs)
a long time,
354
00:15:07,975 --> 00:15:09,676
and she never wrote me back.
355
00:15:09,776 --> 00:15:11,578
Mm, Knight's right.
You did something.
356
00:15:11,678 --> 00:15:13,580
Well, if I did,
I don't know what,
357
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,615
so I took the hint
and stopped writing.
358
00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:17,184
Mm, but you never stopped
thinking about her.
359
00:15:17,284 --> 00:15:19,152
Or cyberstalking her.
360
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:20,620
Come on. You pulled up
361
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,689
Joy's profile like, uh,
you had it on speed dial.
362
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:25,192
Sue me for wanting
an ambient awareness
363
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:26,994
of her life
over the years.
364
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:30,063
Mm, were you aware
that she was divorced?
Yes, I am aware.
365
00:15:30,163 --> 00:15:32,499
And were you also aware that she
lives just outside of Maryland?
366
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:33,766
And why haven't you reached out?
367
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:34,934
Because every time
368
00:15:35,035 --> 00:15:36,736
I thought I might... I just...
369
00:15:36,836 --> 00:15:38,871
I chickened out.
(laughs softly)
370
00:15:38,972 --> 00:15:41,874
Fate took her away,
so, why tempt fate?
371
00:15:41,975 --> 00:15:44,344
Well, fate brought her back
into your orbit.
372
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:47,414
No, not fate.
This kid
373
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:49,549
heard about me from Joy.
What do you know about him?
374
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:51,551
KNIGHT:
Well, it looks like
Ryan spent time in juvie,
375
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:53,153
followed by arrests
376
00:15:53,253 --> 00:15:55,422
for forgery, wire fraud.
377
00:15:55,522 --> 00:15:56,756
Mainly cheap,
money-making scams.
378
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:58,158
TORRES:
Yeah, toss in identity theft,
379
00:15:58,258 --> 00:15:59,459
and you have a classic con.
380
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,094
Looks like Ashley
was his next mark.
381
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:02,595
A mark that ended up dead.
382
00:16:02,695 --> 00:16:04,564
I never imagined
if I saw her again,
383
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:07,034
I'd be breaking the news
that her son might be
384
00:16:07,134 --> 00:16:08,835
a killer con man.
385
00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:10,970
Knight, Torres,
see if you can find Ryan.
386
00:16:11,071 --> 00:16:12,839
McGee.
387
00:16:12,939 --> 00:16:14,941
With me.
388
00:16:15,042 --> 00:16:17,277
Time to tempt fate.
389
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:34,561
Something wrong?
390
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,563
No. It just hit me is all.
391
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,765
It's been decades
since I've seen her.
392
00:16:38,865 --> 00:16:40,933
You're nervous.
393
00:16:41,034 --> 00:16:43,770
What? No, of course not.
394
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:46,806
(sighs)
395
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:50,277
(exhales)
396
00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:52,879
Do you need me
to ring the bell for you?
397
00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:54,681
No, I got it.
398
00:16:54,781 --> 00:16:58,418
Okay.
Go get 'em, tiger.
399
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:10,630
Been a long time, Joy.
400
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:13,466
(grunts)
401
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:15,702
Ooh.
(groans)
402
00:17:18,338 --> 00:17:19,939
You want some, too?
403
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,708
No, no, no, I'm good.
404
00:17:22,509 --> 00:17:24,043
(Parker coughs)
405
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:25,378
PARKER:
Ugh.
406
00:17:26,179 --> 00:17:28,915
You had that coming to you
for 40 years, Park.
407
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:30,617
Ruined my life.
408
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:33,052
How exactly did I do that?
I loved my life
409
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:35,722
in Philly and I was ripped away
from it because of you.
410
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:36,989
Yeah, you definitely
did something.
411
00:17:37,090 --> 00:17:38,991
More like what didn't he do.
412
00:17:39,092 --> 00:17:42,295
Couldn't say no to trouble
if you paid him to.
413
00:17:42,395 --> 00:17:44,297
Uh, as I recall,
you were attached
414
00:17:44,397 --> 00:17:45,765
to my hip for most
of that trouble.
415
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:47,800
Exactly. My poor parents--
416
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:49,336
couldn't have
the neighborhood bad boy
417
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:50,670
corrupt their daughter.
418
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:51,938
Cream, two sugars, if I recall?
419
00:17:52,038 --> 00:17:54,274
Are you saying
that your parents moved away
420
00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:55,875
because of me?
Yeah, dummy.
421
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:57,677
What exactly did you think would
happen after what you did
422
00:17:57,777 --> 00:17:59,412
at the St. Paddy's Day
celebration?
423
00:17:59,512 --> 00:18:00,680
I...
McGEE: Mm. What did he do
424
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:02,815
at the St. Paddy's Day
celebration?
425
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:04,784
Uh, the details don't matter.
426
00:18:04,884 --> 00:18:06,753
I would love
to hear the details.
What matters is
427
00:18:06,853 --> 00:18:08,388
that my parents
decided that night
428
00:18:08,488 --> 00:18:10,157
that I couldn't
be around you anymore.
429
00:18:10,257 --> 00:18:13,059
They knew they couldn't keep me
from you unless we left Philly.
430
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,796
Joy, look, I'm-I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
431
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:18,631
Well, if it's any consolation,
the lesson didn't stick,
432
00:18:18,731 --> 00:18:20,267
because you were the first
in a long line
433
00:18:20,367 --> 00:18:21,734
of men that
I should not have dated.
434
00:18:21,834 --> 00:18:24,070
Well, speaking
of, uh, men
435
00:18:24,171 --> 00:18:25,772
that are trouble,
that's why we're here.
436
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:27,407
My deadbeat ex-husband--
yeah, he's in prison.
437
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:28,741
I'll give you directions.
438
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:30,510
We're not here about him.
439
00:18:32,312 --> 00:18:34,414
Oh, God. Ryan?
440
00:18:34,514 --> 00:18:36,416
What did he do now?
441
00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:38,651
He stole my identity.
442
00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:40,720
Apparently,
you were talking about me,
443
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:43,323
and you told him enough
that he hacked into my, uh...
444
00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:44,924
No offense, but
445
00:18:45,024 --> 00:18:48,094
I haven't spoken about you
to anyone for the last 20 years.
446
00:18:49,095 --> 00:18:50,397
Offense taken.
447
00:18:50,497 --> 00:18:51,998
But somehow, your son
448
00:18:52,098 --> 00:18:55,067
knows details that only
a small group of people knew.
449
00:18:59,105 --> 00:19:01,341
Ryan doesn't come
around here much anymore,
450
00:19:01,441 --> 00:19:03,176
but he did visit
a few weeks ago.
451
00:19:03,276 --> 00:19:04,744
Needed to do laundry?
452
00:19:04,844 --> 00:19:07,747
Uh, funnily enough, no.
He didn't ask for money, either.
453
00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:10,817
Although I should have
realized something was up.
454
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,555
Take it you're
missing something?
455
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:18,958
Ryan took my letters.
The ones you wrote to me.
456
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:20,460
You kept them?
457
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,994
Yeah.
458
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:24,364
Why didn't you ever
write me back?
459
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:26,333
Because I was angry,
460
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:29,569
and I was hurt that
you didn't come back after me.
461
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:30,803
I didn't know you wanted me to.
462
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:32,772
You're such an idiot.
463
00:19:32,872 --> 00:19:36,209
I know not writing back
was petty, but I was young.
464
00:19:36,309 --> 00:19:39,246
And, you know,
then the rest of life happened.
465
00:19:39,346 --> 00:19:42,849
Oh, your, uh... your son
must have used the information
466
00:19:42,949 --> 00:19:45,785
in those letters to hijack
Agent Parker's identity.
467
00:19:45,885 --> 00:19:49,456
Then used my DoD access
to target a Naval officer.
468
00:19:49,556 --> 00:19:51,157
And that officer is now dead.
469
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:52,992
No way.
470
00:19:53,092 --> 00:19:56,363
Ryan does not have
a violent bone in his body.
471
00:19:56,463 --> 00:19:57,930
Joy, he took the letters.
472
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,032
He's clearly the one
that stole my identity.
473
00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:02,235
I'm telling you,
Ryan is not smart enough
474
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:04,170
to pull that off alone. I...
475
00:20:04,271 --> 00:20:06,906
What-Whatever's going on,
Todd is behind it.
476
00:20:07,006 --> 00:20:08,040
That bastard.
477
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:09,476
Who's Todd?
478
00:20:09,576 --> 00:20:11,478
He's my ex's partner.
He's a con man.
479
00:20:11,578 --> 00:20:13,280
When my ex got pinched,
480
00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:16,416
Todd set his sights on Ryan
as his replacement partner.
481
00:20:16,516 --> 00:20:18,285
I told Ryan
that Todd was bad news,
482
00:20:18,385 --> 00:20:20,853
but, hey, that kid--
he takes after his father.
483
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:22,489
Do you know where
we could find Todd?
484
00:20:22,589 --> 00:20:25,091
He's got a pool hall in Hampden,
but he'll-he'll make you out
485
00:20:25,191 --> 00:20:27,126
as feds as soon
as you walk through the door.
486
00:20:28,295 --> 00:20:30,963
But he might talk to you
if I'm with you.
487
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,400
Uh, that's not
gonna happen, Joy.
488
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:34,934
You want another punch
to the gut?
489
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:38,170
Just try and keep me from
490
00:20:38,271 --> 00:20:40,373
helping my kid.
491
00:20:40,473 --> 00:20:41,374
(door opens)
492
00:20:41,474 --> 00:20:43,009
Yeah, you were right.
493
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:45,945
Not exactly what I would
describe as "sweet."
494
00:20:48,415 --> 00:20:50,650
♪ ♪
495
00:20:52,285 --> 00:20:55,154
Double or nothing,
I can sink that four-ball next.
496
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:56,656
What do you say, Father?
497
00:20:58,858 --> 00:20:59,859
I wouldn't take that bet.
498
00:20:59,959 --> 00:21:01,628
Not because the Bible says
499
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:03,029
the love of money
is the root of all evil,
500
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:04,631
but because
he's setting you up.
501
00:21:04,731 --> 00:21:06,766
Really, Joy?
You come in here dragging
502
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:08,768
a pair of cops behind you?
Uh, Mr. Mercer,
503
00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:13,440
I'm Agent Parker, NCIS.
This is Agent McGee.
504
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:14,841
We've got some questions
505
00:21:14,941 --> 00:21:15,942
that we want to ask you.
What did you get Ryan
506
00:21:16,042 --> 00:21:17,377
mixed up in?
Uh, we're the ones
507
00:21:17,477 --> 00:21:19,846
conducting the interview here.
508
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:22,349
But we are here about Ryan.
What about him?
509
00:21:22,449 --> 00:21:24,784
You dragged him into some con,
and you got a woman killed.
510
00:21:24,884 --> 00:21:26,853
Okay.
You might want
to muzzle that one.
511
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:28,555
I ain't seen Ryan in days,
512
00:21:28,655 --> 00:21:30,490
and I don't know nothing
about no dead woman.
513
00:21:30,590 --> 00:21:32,959
How dare you take
advantage of my son!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
514
00:21:33,059 --> 00:21:36,095
This isn't good cop,
bad Joy, okay?
515
00:21:37,163 --> 00:21:38,598
If you're done
with the theatrics,
516
00:21:38,698 --> 00:21:40,032
I've got some work to do.
517
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:41,734
(sighs)
No, almost done.
518
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:43,570
One more question,
but it's not for you. Ah.
519
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:44,904
How much jail time
520
00:21:45,004 --> 00:21:46,439
is this guy looking at?
521
00:21:46,539 --> 00:21:47,774
Mandatory minimum, 30 years
522
00:21:47,874 --> 00:21:49,308
without the possibility
of parole.
523
00:21:49,409 --> 00:21:50,643
(short chuckle)
Nice try.
524
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:52,612
Identity theft
caps out at one year.
525
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:54,681
Who said anything
about identity theft?
526
00:21:55,915 --> 00:21:57,817
Did he just incriminate himself,
Agent McGee?
527
00:21:57,917 --> 00:21:59,619
I believe he did, Agent Parker.
528
00:21:59,719 --> 00:22:02,054
I was talking about
first-degree felony murder,
529
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:04,256
which you're about
to be charged with
530
00:22:04,357 --> 00:22:05,858
in about ten seconds.
531
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:08,127
Yeah, unless you can do better
than "I don't know."
532
00:22:09,462 --> 00:22:12,765
Or we can just step away
and let Joy kick your ass.
533
00:22:15,234 --> 00:22:18,070
But how did he get her
to hand over her passwords
534
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:20,507
for NAVSEA?
How's it going?
535
00:22:20,607 --> 00:22:22,008
Well, apparently,
Todd was pulling
536
00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:24,677
the old CIA recruiter con.
My favorite.
537
00:22:24,777 --> 00:22:27,013
I've done it twice.
How'd this one work?
538
00:22:27,113 --> 00:22:28,548
Ryan convinced
Ensign Watts
539
00:22:28,648 --> 00:22:30,216
that he was recruiting
her for the CIA.
540
00:22:30,316 --> 00:22:32,485
And once he had her
believing that, he tricked her
541
00:22:32,585 --> 00:22:35,688
into giving him access to the
accounting system at NAVSEA.
542
00:22:35,788 --> 00:22:37,223
And then
it was just a simple matter
543
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:39,291
of adding my pool hall
to their payroll ledger.
544
00:22:39,392 --> 00:22:41,594
And you just sat back and cashed
the checks as they came in?
545
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,796
I was just trying to get my
piece of that government pork.
546
00:22:43,896 --> 00:22:45,798
But I don't know nothing
about that.
547
00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:47,767
Whatever happened there
is between Ryan and her.
548
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,402
You have any idea
where Ryan might be?
549
00:22:49,502 --> 00:22:50,837
I haven't heard a word from him
550
00:22:50,937 --> 00:22:52,371
since he tried to shut me down.
PARKER: Wait.
551
00:22:52,472 --> 00:22:54,607
Wait. What's that supposed mean?
552
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:58,310
Ryan wanted to call things off.
Why?
553
00:22:58,411 --> 00:23:01,047
Because he didn't want to get
Ashley in trouble with the Navy.
554
00:23:01,147 --> 00:23:03,816
Ryan broke the first
rule of the game--
555
00:23:03,916 --> 00:23:05,351
never fall for your mark.
556
00:23:05,452 --> 00:23:08,588
And he was, what--
in love with Ashley?
557
00:23:08,688 --> 00:23:10,256
Those were his exact words.
558
00:23:10,356 --> 00:23:11,691
You know, maybe
559
00:23:11,791 --> 00:23:13,993
she found out he played her
and things got ugly,
560
00:23:14,093 --> 00:23:16,195
which wouldn't
surprise me at all.
And why is that?
561
00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:17,930
There was something
about that girl.
562
00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:19,566
Something like what?
563
00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:22,301
Ryan brought her around once
to play pool, and I can tell
564
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:24,904
from the moment I met her
she had an angle.
565
00:23:25,004 --> 00:23:27,173
A con can tell
when someone's keeping secrets,
566
00:23:27,273 --> 00:23:30,142
and she was keeping something
from Ryan.
567
00:23:30,977 --> 00:23:32,344
TORRES:
Are we sure
568
00:23:32,445 --> 00:23:33,913
this guy isn't just trying
to save his own ass
569
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:35,548
by pinning Ashley's
murder on Ryan?
570
00:23:35,648 --> 00:23:37,183
He's got an alibi.
571
00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:39,652
He was with his podiatrist
getting a corn removed
572
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:41,353
when Ashley was killed.
573
00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:44,356
What do you think he meant
by, uh, Ashley having secrets?
574
00:23:44,457 --> 00:23:46,425
I don't know, but
I don't trust a con man.
575
00:23:46,526 --> 00:23:48,828
You cannot play the game
if you're not skilled
576
00:23:48,928 --> 00:23:50,463
in reading human behavior.
577
00:23:50,563 --> 00:23:52,699
Well, maybe we should
focus less on Ryan
578
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,734
and have a closer
look at Ashley.
579
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:56,603
Just spoke to her neighbor.
580
00:23:56,703 --> 00:23:58,805
They saw her roughly eight hours
before she was killed.
581
00:23:58,905 --> 00:24:00,406
Said she looked frazzled,
left in a hurry.
582
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:01,841
TORRES:
Eight hours?
583
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,242
That's a lot of missing time.
PARKER: All right.
584
00:24:03,342 --> 00:24:04,977
Let's track her phone,
see where she went.
585
00:24:05,077 --> 00:24:07,413
Ah, don't bother.
She left it in her apartment.
586
00:24:07,514 --> 00:24:10,349
I'd leave my eyeballs behind
before I left my phone.
587
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:13,285
Maybe she ditched it on purpose,
to drop off the grid.
588
00:24:13,385 --> 00:24:16,422
Are you saying that Ashley isn't
just an innocent victim here?
589
00:24:16,523 --> 00:24:18,190
I'm thinking we need
to know what happened
590
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,959
between her leaving home,
eating a delicious crab roll,
591
00:24:20,059 --> 00:24:21,494
and then ending up dead.
592
00:24:21,594 --> 00:24:23,395
Did Ryan mention anything
to his mother about Ashley?
593
00:24:23,496 --> 00:24:26,132
Joy said she never met her,
though I could go see
594
00:24:26,232 --> 00:24:28,400
if there's anything
she overlooked.
595
00:24:28,501 --> 00:24:32,438
"Go see" as in, like...
house call?
596
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,543
An official NCIS interview.
597
00:24:36,643 --> 00:24:39,178
Like, back at her house?
Tonight?
598
00:24:39,278 --> 00:24:42,348
Well, I'm sure that she would
appreciate, uh, an update,
599
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:44,517
given the sensitive nature
of the investigation.
600
00:24:44,617 --> 00:24:46,719
Right, and it's...
You know, what's better
601
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,955
than a face-to-face?
602
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:51,290
It's the proper thing to do.
603
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:56,062
Mm.
604
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:58,197
JOY:
Park, uh, what are...
605
00:24:58,297 --> 00:25:01,634
what are you doing?
I know I should have
called first, but...
606
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:03,936
I just thought
I'd... check up,
607
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:05,371
see how you're doing.
I'm fine.
608
00:25:05,471 --> 00:25:06,606
RYAN:
Hey, Mom,
609
00:25:06,706 --> 00:25:07,674
when'd you switch
610
00:25:07,774 --> 00:25:09,075
to stupid deca...
611
00:25:11,778 --> 00:25:13,980
What is he
doing here?
612
00:25:25,558 --> 00:25:26,693
Did you turn me in?
I swear,
613
00:25:26,793 --> 00:25:27,994
I didn't even know
he was coming.
614
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:30,029
Are you aiding
and abetting my suspect?
615
00:25:30,129 --> 00:25:32,264
You mean my son. Relax.
I was still gonna call you.
616
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,466
What? Mom, I came
to you for help.
617
00:25:34,567 --> 00:25:36,535
He's the only one
who can help you now.
618
00:25:36,636 --> 00:25:38,170
She's right. If you had nothing
619
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:40,907
to do with Ashley's murder,
you need to talk to me.
620
00:25:42,909 --> 00:25:44,977
Don't you dare break
your mother's heart.
621
00:25:46,412 --> 00:25:48,648
Okay, Ryan, you know the drill.
622
00:25:48,748 --> 00:25:50,983
You're gonna talk
to Agent Parker
623
00:25:51,083 --> 00:25:52,585
and you're gonna do
what you're not good at.
624
00:25:52,685 --> 00:25:54,453
You're gonna tell the truth.
625
00:25:55,622 --> 00:25:57,724
Don't let this fall on his head,
626
00:25:57,824 --> 00:25:58,925
Park.
627
00:25:59,025 --> 00:26:01,594
He's saveable,
just like you were.
628
00:26:07,634 --> 00:26:10,536
I swear on my mother's life,
629
00:26:10,637 --> 00:26:14,106
I didn't kill Ashley.
630
00:26:14,206 --> 00:26:16,342
I loved her.
631
00:26:16,442 --> 00:26:19,478
You know, she was... the one.
632
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:21,547
That's why
I tried to stop Todd.
633
00:26:21,648 --> 00:26:23,716
(sighs)
But he went behind your back
634
00:26:23,816 --> 00:26:25,718
and pulled off the con anyway.
635
00:26:25,818 --> 00:26:27,720
And as soon I found out,
I went straight to Ashley
636
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,321
and I told her everything.
637
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:31,991
You know, who I really was.
638
00:26:32,091 --> 00:26:33,793
What I'd done.
639
00:26:33,893 --> 00:26:35,862
Oh, I'm sure
that went over well.
640
00:26:35,962 --> 00:26:37,329
You're wrong.
641
00:26:37,429 --> 00:26:38,965
She forgave me.
642
00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:42,969
You duped her half a dozen ways,
643
00:26:43,069 --> 00:26:45,171
and she said, what--
"It's all good"?
644
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:46,739
It's the truth.
She told me
645
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:48,741
that she loved me, too,
and she was gonna find a way
646
00:26:48,841 --> 00:26:50,710
to make things right
so we could be together.
647
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:52,879
Make things right?
With who, the Navy?
648
00:26:52,979 --> 00:26:54,714
That's what I thought
at first.
649
00:26:54,814 --> 00:26:57,684
She was gonna find some way
to undo what Todd did, but then,
650
00:26:57,784 --> 00:27:00,119
uh, something felt...
651
00:27:00,219 --> 00:27:01,420
off.
652
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,422
Off how?
I'm not quite sure.
653
00:27:03,522 --> 00:27:06,826
Because, suddenly, she went all
cloak-and-dagger and told me
654
00:27:06,926 --> 00:27:09,829
to arrange the motel room
and to use an alias.
655
00:27:09,929 --> 00:27:11,197
Aka mine.
656
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:12,699
When I got to the motel,
657
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,034
she was already...
658
00:27:16,535 --> 00:27:19,271
I took off
when I saw her lying there.
659
00:27:19,371 --> 00:27:21,774
That's all I know.
660
00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:25,211
Look, you guys
have to believe me.
661
00:27:25,311 --> 00:27:27,046
I loved her,
662
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:28,380
and she loved me, too.
663
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,917
I would never hurt Ashley.
664
00:27:31,017 --> 00:27:33,085
Well, we would love
to believe you.
665
00:27:33,886 --> 00:27:35,654
But the one thing
missing here is proof
666
00:27:35,755 --> 00:27:37,189
that any of this is true.
667
00:27:37,289 --> 00:27:38,891
(sighs)
668
00:27:40,126 --> 00:27:41,694
Wait!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
669
00:27:41,794 --> 00:27:44,697
I, uh... I-I still have
the voice mail that she left me.
670
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:47,299
What voice mail?
671
00:27:47,399 --> 00:27:48,735
ASHLEY:
Text me the room code
672
00:27:48,835 --> 00:27:51,037
and wait exactly ten minutes
for my call.
673
00:27:51,137 --> 00:27:53,305
It's imperative
you don't call me back.
674
00:27:53,405 --> 00:27:55,607
It's too dangerous.
675
00:27:56,809 --> 00:27:59,478
I know you have questions,
but I'll answer them later.
676
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,982
I love you.
677
00:28:03,082 --> 00:28:05,584
That sounds pretty
cloak-and-daggery to me.
678
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:06,919
She also sounds very scared.
679
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:08,620
Yeah, but who
was she scared of?
680
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:10,923
And why would our Navy officer
use a burner phone
681
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:12,624
to leave messages?
Well, it looks
682
00:28:12,725 --> 00:28:15,161
like Todd was right-- Ashley had
some secrets of her own.
683
00:28:15,261 --> 00:28:17,196
If we're gonna find her killer,
we need to know
684
00:28:17,296 --> 00:28:19,465
what Ashley was doing
in those eight hours.
685
00:28:19,565 --> 00:28:21,734
Knight, call Kasie and see if
she can pull anything else
686
00:28:21,834 --> 00:28:24,036
from this voice mail, okay?
687
00:28:24,837 --> 00:28:27,874
Parker, can I ask you
something real quick?
Yeah.
688
00:28:27,974 --> 00:28:29,976
Are you sure that
we don't already
689
00:28:30,076 --> 00:28:31,677
have the killer in
our holding cell,
690
00:28:31,778 --> 00:28:33,279
and that Ryan's mom
isn't just playing us?
691
00:28:33,379 --> 00:28:36,849
You think Joy is trying
to throw us off Ryan's scent?
692
00:28:36,949 --> 00:28:38,951
Well, it's been done before.
693
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:40,787
She's just protecting her kid.
694
00:28:40,887 --> 00:28:42,154
I'm told that's what parents do.
695
00:28:42,254 --> 00:28:43,355
Well, within reason, yeah.
696
00:28:43,455 --> 00:28:44,791
Well, she's protecting him
697
00:28:44,891 --> 00:28:46,625
because she's trusting me
to do the job.
698
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,460
We see this thing through,
699
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,997
even if it lands
at Ryan's feet, right?
700
00:28:51,097 --> 00:28:52,398
Right.
701
00:28:52,498 --> 00:28:53,933
Look,
702
00:28:54,033 --> 00:28:55,802
I'm-I'm not saying
that Joy is some kind of saint,
703
00:28:55,902 --> 00:28:58,104
but, back in the day,
704
00:28:58,204 --> 00:29:00,973
she refused to turn her back
on me when everybody else did.
705
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:03,575
Her faith was
the kick in the ass I needed
706
00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:05,177
to start turning my life around.
707
00:29:05,277 --> 00:29:07,379
Even when her parents
moved her away,
708
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:09,381
I wasn't about to let her down.
709
00:29:09,481 --> 00:29:12,218
Not then, not now.
710
00:29:17,156 --> 00:29:18,690
ASHLEY:
Text me the room code
711
00:29:18,791 --> 00:29:20,726
and wait exactly ten minutes
for my call.
712
00:29:20,827 --> 00:29:22,728
It's imperative
you don't call me back...
713
00:29:22,829 --> 00:29:24,563
Any updates on the voice mail
that Ashley left?
714
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:27,499
Uh, I am running it through
an audio scrubber right now.
715
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,269
It ought to enhance
any background noise that might
716
00:29:30,369 --> 00:29:32,338
help us ID her location
when she left it.
717
00:29:32,438 --> 00:29:35,174
This might take a minute. I can
call you when I have something.
718
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:41,280
Okay, girl, spill.
719
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:45,351
Has Jimmy mentioned
anything lately,
720
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:48,888
you know, about him and... me?
721
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:50,622
Um, why are you asking?
722
00:29:50,722 --> 00:29:52,424
Something's up with Jimmy.
723
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:54,760
And I hate feeling
like I'm back in high school
724
00:29:54,861 --> 00:29:57,129
worrying that my crush
isn't crushing back.
725
00:29:57,229 --> 00:30:02,101
Oh! But I love picturing high
school Jess with butterflies.
726
00:30:02,201 --> 00:30:03,769
(laughs)
Okay.
727
00:30:03,870 --> 00:30:05,972
I wasn't even that high school
girl when I was in high school.
728
00:30:06,072 --> 00:30:08,240
I didn't crush
and I didn't do butterflies
729
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:11,043
and I didn't, you know,
put notes in peoples' lockers.
730
00:30:11,143 --> 00:30:13,679
So why are you suddenly twisting
yourself into knots over Jimmy?
731
00:30:13,779 --> 00:30:15,481
Okay, let's not go that far.
732
00:30:15,581 --> 00:30:18,217
I'm just saying, Jimmy had
a really weird reaction
733
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:20,987
when I suggested that we invite
Victoria to movie night.
734
00:30:21,087 --> 00:30:22,388
Ooh, movie night? Yes, please.
735
00:30:22,488 --> 00:30:24,156
What are we seeing?
(chuckles)
736
00:30:24,256 --> 00:30:28,260
Okay, Jimmy and I are gonna
go see the next Codename: Fury.
737
00:30:30,362 --> 00:30:31,330
Yeah.
738
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:33,632
That movie goes way back.
739
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:37,904
And I think I know
740
00:30:38,004 --> 00:30:39,571
what's up with Jimmy.
(computer dings)
741
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:41,540
Ooh.
742
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,342
It's the ambient
dialogue filter.
743
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:45,577
Looks like it pulled some
background audio from the call.
744
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:47,914
ASHLEY: ...call me back.
It's too dangerous.
(chime sounds)
745
00:30:48,014 --> 00:30:50,149
MAN (over P.A.):
Next stop Shady Grove,
end of the line.
746
00:30:50,249 --> 00:30:51,383
ASHLEY:
I know you have questions,
747
00:30:51,483 --> 00:30:52,684
but I'll answer them later.
748
00:30:52,784 --> 00:30:54,386
That's a Metro train.
It sounds like
749
00:30:54,486 --> 00:30:56,855
Ashley was on the Red Line
when she called Ryan.
750
00:30:56,956 --> 00:30:59,025
Heading out of the city
and into the boonies.
751
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:01,793
But what was she doing
way out there?
752
00:31:03,062 --> 00:31:04,997
Ashley first boarded
the Red Line in D.C.,
753
00:31:05,097 --> 00:31:08,034
then exited the Shady Grove
station and headed east on foot.
754
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:10,236
The last camera that
spotted her was just outside
755
00:31:10,336 --> 00:31:13,005
of a restaurant called
Blue's Crab Shack.
756
00:31:13,105 --> 00:31:16,008
Which boasts the best Maryland
blue crab roll in the city.
757
00:31:16,108 --> 00:31:18,644
Which was also Ashley's
last meal, according to Jimmy.
758
00:31:18,744 --> 00:31:20,179
I love me a good crab roll,
759
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:22,314
but, uh, after running scared
from her apartment,
760
00:31:22,414 --> 00:31:25,884
then leaving that voice mail
to Ryan, it's hard to swallow
761
00:31:25,985 --> 00:31:28,020
she went all the way out there
just for a crustacean.
762
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,421
She didn't.
KNIGHT: The restaurant's
763
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:31,823
across the street from
a self-storage lot.
764
00:31:31,924 --> 00:31:33,559
McGEE:
We did some checking,
and it turns out
765
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,261
Ashley has a unit there.
766
00:31:35,361 --> 00:31:37,263
A unit that she visited mere
hours before she was murdered,
767
00:31:37,363 --> 00:31:39,198
according to the logs
that we were sent.
768
00:31:39,298 --> 00:31:41,000
Must be something
pretty important in that unit.
769
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,335
Torres, Knight, find out what.
770
00:31:50,009 --> 00:31:53,579
So, what do we have in here?
771
00:31:53,679 --> 00:31:54,981
This is all a bunch of crap.
772
00:31:55,081 --> 00:31:58,050
Who knows what
she actually came here for.
773
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:01,187
Does this place feel
a little small to you?
774
00:32:01,287 --> 00:32:04,991
The rental agreement
says it's 300 square feet.
775
00:32:08,127 --> 00:32:09,628
Hey.
776
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:12,831
This stain looks like
it's coming from the other side.
777
00:32:16,302 --> 00:32:19,071
It's hollow.
778
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,806
Hey, Knight?
779
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:35,387
What in the Assassin's Creed?
780
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:39,291
KNIGHT:
Whoa.
781
00:32:45,064 --> 00:32:46,798
We have foreign currency here.
782
00:32:46,898 --> 00:32:49,268
And I've got some passports.
783
00:32:49,368 --> 00:32:52,171
I think we just
figured out why Ashley
784
00:32:52,271 --> 00:32:54,606
forgave our con man
for lying about who he was.
785
00:32:54,706 --> 00:32:57,476
She was lying
to him, too.
786
00:33:05,717 --> 00:33:07,619
Given everything
that we've collected
787
00:33:07,719 --> 00:33:10,622
from Ashley's secret room,
she's got to be a spy, right?
788
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:12,791
Or some sort
of con artist herself.
789
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:15,527
That might explain the multiple
passports in multiple names.
790
00:33:15,627 --> 00:33:17,329
But not the arsenal
of high-powered weapons.
791
00:33:17,429 --> 00:33:19,531
Okay, spy it is,
but who is she working for?
792
00:33:19,631 --> 00:33:21,500
And what was her mission?
Well, we know she lobbied hard
793
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,001
to get herself assigned
to NAVSEA.
794
00:33:23,102 --> 00:33:25,704
It's a smart place for a hostile
power to have an asset.
795
00:33:25,804 --> 00:33:27,706
And lots of intel
on what keeps our navy afloat.
796
00:33:27,806 --> 00:33:30,342
Yeah, and imagine her surprise
when she was approached
797
00:33:30,442 --> 00:33:32,344
by Ryan to join the CIA.
798
00:33:32,444 --> 00:33:33,579
Oh, she would have jumped
at that chance.
799
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:35,747
PARKER:
Embed a spy within the company.
800
00:33:35,847 --> 00:33:38,617
That's the Holy Grail for a
foreign intelligence agency.
801
00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:39,951
Except it was all a lie.
802
00:33:40,052 --> 00:33:41,753
Talk about ironic.
A deceitful con man
803
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:44,623
targets a bona fide spy
trained in the art of deceit?
804
00:33:44,723 --> 00:33:46,858
Yeah, but according to Ryan,
love conquered all for them.
805
00:33:46,958 --> 00:33:49,428
A real life
The Spy Who Loved Me.
If Ryan didn't kill Ashley,
806
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:51,430
I may have an idea who did.
Spies have handlers,
807
00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:54,866
and handlers don't like it when
their spies get compromised.
808
00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:56,802
Kind of a cardinal sin
for a secret agent.
809
00:33:56,902 --> 00:33:59,004
Ashley was afraid
on that voice mail.
810
00:33:59,105 --> 00:34:01,039
She knew that she and Ryan
were in danger.
811
00:34:01,140 --> 00:34:03,575
So, whoever killed Ashley
might still be after Ryan.
812
00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:05,377
That could be
an advantage for us.
813
00:34:05,477 --> 00:34:07,413
Use him to flush them out.
814
00:34:07,513 --> 00:34:08,747
Think he's up for it?
815
00:34:08,847 --> 00:34:10,982
RYAN:
Look, I'll do it.
816
00:34:11,083 --> 00:34:13,119
No, you won't!
817
00:34:13,219 --> 00:34:15,654
Not a chance in hell
are you using my kid as bait
818
00:34:15,754 --> 00:34:18,124
to catch some spy-killing spy.
Joy, if he helps us,
819
00:34:18,224 --> 00:34:21,493
I can talk to the D.A.,
maybe he avoids prison.
820
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:23,662
Yeah, aside from that...
for once, Mom,
821
00:34:23,762 --> 00:34:25,831
I'd kind of like
to do the right thing.
822
00:34:25,931 --> 00:34:28,734
Though avoiding prison
does sound pretty good.
823
00:34:28,834 --> 00:34:30,436
No way.
PARKER: Joy, listen to me.
824
00:34:30,536 --> 00:34:33,439
Listen to me.
He's saveable, okay?
825
00:34:33,539 --> 00:34:35,607
This is how we save him.
826
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,582
Well, that's my third cup
of coffee.
827
00:34:43,682 --> 00:34:45,184
Gonna have to pee soon.
828
00:34:45,284 --> 00:34:46,752
Nobody forced you
829
00:34:46,852 --> 00:34:48,354
to drink that many lattes.
830
00:34:48,454 --> 00:34:50,088
RYAN:
I don't understand how
831
00:34:50,189 --> 00:34:52,824
this handler dude is supposed
to just find me here.
832
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:54,826
KNIGHT:
We asked the Office
of Naval Intelligence
833
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,728
to flood the zone with chatter
that you're back in town.
834
00:34:56,828 --> 00:35:00,132
If you have a target on your
back, the handler will find you.
835
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:02,901
(scoffs)
836
00:35:04,069 --> 00:35:06,338
Looks like Ashley's parents
found me first.
837
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:08,006
Which isn't very likely.
838
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:11,109
Hello, Travis.
Or is it Ryan now?
839
00:35:11,810 --> 00:35:14,946
Unless those aren't actually
Ashley's parents. Let's move in.
840
00:35:18,184 --> 00:35:19,451
RENÉE:
Da.
841
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:21,853
PARKER:
Freeze! NCIS! Hands up!
842
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:22,954
Up! Up!
843
00:35:25,191 --> 00:35:28,026
KNIGHT:
Thumbs out.
844
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:31,197
Not exactly
the family next door.
845
00:35:32,164 --> 00:35:33,765
(handcuffs clicking)
846
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:40,138
Can't believe that
Ashley's adoptive parents
847
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,640
were Russian sleeper spies.
848
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:43,642
Oh, and that was
just their cover.
849
00:35:43,742 --> 00:35:45,544
Looks like the three of them
popped up ten years ago
850
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:46,978
posing as typical Americans.
851
00:35:47,078 --> 00:35:48,714
Ah. They confess
to her murder?
852
00:35:48,814 --> 00:35:50,949
Well, with their op blown,
they're cooperating.
853
00:35:51,049 --> 00:35:53,819
Safest place for them now
is an American supermax.
854
00:35:53,919 --> 00:35:56,588
Sounds like a plotline
to a Codename: Fury movie.
855
00:35:56,688 --> 00:35:58,524
(both laugh)
856
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:03,061
Actually, uh,
857
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:05,931
I think that's something
that we should talk about.
858
00:36:07,266 --> 00:36:10,001
It's not an easy thing
for me to bring up.
859
00:36:10,101 --> 00:36:12,404
Oh, no. We're still on
for our date night, aren't we?
860
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,640
(chuckles)
861
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:16,642
Well, I remember you mentioned
862
00:36:16,742 --> 00:36:19,645
that those movies
were a family favorite
863
00:36:19,745 --> 00:36:23,515
with you and Victoria
and Breena.
864
00:36:27,085 --> 00:36:30,021
And I realized yesterday that
this is gonna be the first time
865
00:36:30,121 --> 00:36:32,391
that you're seeing one
of those movies
866
00:36:32,491 --> 00:36:34,192
without your wife.
867
00:36:34,293 --> 00:36:37,696
Yeah. It's another bridge
to cross, you know?
868
00:36:37,796 --> 00:36:40,299
I have crossed plenty by now.
869
00:36:40,399 --> 00:36:42,100
Right.
870
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,404
Like your first Thanksgiving
without Breena.
871
00:36:45,504 --> 00:36:48,840
And your first Christmas.
872
00:36:50,075 --> 00:36:52,311
Each one of those
had to have hurt.
873
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:57,816
But there is one more bridge
for you to cross.
874
00:37:00,319 --> 00:37:03,021
And I think that one's
gonna hurt the most.
875
00:37:06,425 --> 00:37:09,328
It's, um...
876
00:37:09,428 --> 00:37:11,196
It's me
877
00:37:11,297 --> 00:37:14,065
being a part
of your daughter's life.
878
00:37:15,501 --> 00:37:17,603
That's the last bridge.
879
00:37:17,703 --> 00:37:19,638
A final symbol
880
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:21,973
that Breena is really gone.
881
00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:25,511
And I think you feel like
882
00:37:25,611 --> 00:37:27,513
you're saying goodbye
to her for good,
883
00:37:27,613 --> 00:37:29,247
and I know that has to hurt.
884
00:37:30,749 --> 00:37:32,150
And I don't want to push you.
885
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:33,985
I feel really bad
for having pushed you.
886
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:36,688
Jessica, stop, stop.
Just... stop.
887
00:37:36,788 --> 00:37:39,358
Y-You have nothing
to apologize for, okay?
888
00:37:40,859 --> 00:37:42,761
You're right.
889
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:46,131
This is something
that I have to do, and, um...
890
00:37:49,568 --> 00:37:52,371
It's just really hard.
891
00:37:55,341 --> 00:37:57,376
I, uh...
892
00:37:57,476 --> 00:37:59,945
I really want to, um...
893
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:05,351
Come here.
894
00:38:05,451 --> 00:38:07,185
Oh.
895
00:38:15,727 --> 00:38:17,396
I know this must
be hard for you.
896
00:38:17,496 --> 00:38:18,630
I've been there.
897
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:20,632
The love of my life
was a foreign agent
898
00:38:20,732 --> 00:38:22,634
murdered by her own country.
899
00:38:22,734 --> 00:38:24,636
I don't think you've been there.
900
00:38:24,736 --> 00:38:26,572
No, not exactly.
901
00:38:26,672 --> 00:38:28,840
But back in the day,
902
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:32,578
I was on the wrong path,
just like you.
903
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:34,112
Friends with
all the wrong people.
904
00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:39,985
Price I paid
was losing your mother.
905
00:38:43,455 --> 00:38:45,156
Look, Ryan, I'm just saying,
906
00:38:45,256 --> 00:38:47,359
that, uh, if you keep walking
the path you're on,
907
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:48,794
today is just the appetizer.
908
00:38:48,894 --> 00:38:50,061
You ain't close
to the bottom yet,
909
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:52,030
but you'll eventually get there.
910
00:38:52,130 --> 00:38:54,099
Or...
911
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:58,169
you can take all that skill
as a con, crook,
912
00:38:58,269 --> 00:39:00,205
hustler, swindler,
913
00:39:00,305 --> 00:39:02,040
cheat...
914
00:39:02,140 --> 00:39:04,309
and you can actually
turn it into something good.
915
00:39:04,410 --> 00:39:06,445
How?
916
00:39:09,114 --> 00:39:11,650
Come to work
for the good guys.
917
00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:14,085
I pulled some strings
with friends at the FBI
918
00:39:14,185 --> 00:39:16,187
so you could serve
your probation with them.
919
00:39:16,287 --> 00:39:17,355
You mean, uh,
920
00:39:17,456 --> 00:39:20,726
like Leo in Catch Me if You Can?
Hey,
921
00:39:20,826 --> 00:39:23,895
they've reformed lots
of criminals before.
922
00:39:25,497 --> 00:39:29,034
It's not like
I really got a choice, do I?
923
00:39:30,669 --> 00:39:33,004
You always got a choice.
924
00:39:34,205 --> 00:39:36,241
All right.
925
00:39:38,376 --> 00:39:41,112
Yeah, I got to
ask one thing.
926
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:42,748
The way you wormed
into my accounts.
927
00:39:42,848 --> 00:39:45,016
That info wasn't all
in those letters.
928
00:39:45,116 --> 00:39:48,286
How much did your mom
talk about me?
929
00:39:49,855 --> 00:39:51,289
You really want to know
930
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,324
all the embarrassing things
she told me about you?
931
00:39:53,425 --> 00:39:56,327
You're right.
Best to forget.
932
00:39:56,428 --> 00:39:58,564
I'll tell you this.
933
00:39:58,664 --> 00:39:59,831
When she did talk about it,
934
00:39:59,931 --> 00:40:02,000
it always put a smile
on her face.
935
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:05,504
She's been lonely
a long time, you know?
936
00:40:14,145 --> 00:40:16,014
(laughs)
937
00:40:16,114 --> 00:40:18,283
Is that Philly butter cake?
938
00:40:18,383 --> 00:40:20,919
Straight from
VonRoenn Bakery, all right?
939
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:23,121
You drove all the way to the
old neighborhood to get this?
940
00:40:23,221 --> 00:40:25,791
Yeah, it's one
of our favorites.
941
00:40:25,891 --> 00:40:27,826
Thank you, Park.
942
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:30,028
Been jonesing for
this cake for years.
943
00:40:30,128 --> 00:40:31,630
No.
944
00:40:31,730 --> 00:40:34,800
Thank you
for setting Ryan straight.
945
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:37,969
Well, I just needed
a reformed bad boy
946
00:40:38,069 --> 00:40:40,371
to show him how it's done.
947
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,209
You never thought
of having kids?
948
00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:47,212
Children wasn't really
in the cards for me and my ex.
949
00:40:47,312 --> 00:40:49,648
Sh... She just...
950
00:40:49,748 --> 00:40:51,316
Ah.
951
00:40:51,416 --> 00:40:53,519
Hard to explain.
952
00:40:53,619 --> 00:40:55,554
I'll bet.
953
00:40:55,654 --> 00:40:58,189
Vivian's a unique woman.
954
00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:03,629
How do you know her name?
I know more than her name.
955
00:41:03,729 --> 00:41:07,365
She paid me a visit once.
Right after your divorce.
956
00:41:08,233 --> 00:41:11,102
Wha... What did she want?
957
00:41:11,202 --> 00:41:13,304
She told me
she wanted to meet the woman
958
00:41:13,404 --> 00:41:16,508
she was competing against
her entire marriage.
959
00:41:16,608 --> 00:41:19,945
(sighs)
Oh. I... Hey.
960
00:41:20,045 --> 00:41:23,381
Joy, I'm sorry. Viv is just...
961
00:41:23,481 --> 00:41:25,383
She... (laughs)
962
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:27,185
She's a unique woman.
963
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:30,088
She said that even though you
guys had your share of problems,
964
00:41:30,188 --> 00:41:31,790
she always felt that
965
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:33,925
you were holding a candle
for someone else.
966
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:35,927
I guess she figured it was me.
967
00:41:36,027 --> 00:41:38,530
She believed
you never got over me.
968
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,035
I did not.
969
00:41:46,705 --> 00:41:49,274
Still have not.
970
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,918
Did you get over me?
971
00:42:08,126 --> 00:42:11,029
