00:00I don't know.
00:30It is steamier than Idris Elba.
00:55This heat wave is no joke.
00:58You can't crank the air, Daddy?
00:59No.
01:00We've got to conserve energy.
01:01We could get more rolling blackouts.
01:04Look at you.
01:05You got a date?
01:06No.
01:07Last-minute work or something.
01:09Hey, Mama.
01:10Hey.
01:11What?
01:12What you doing here?
01:13Spur-of-the-moment thing.
01:15I don't buy it.
01:16What's wrong?
01:17What, Grandpa?
01:18I can't come and see you without you thinking there's a problem.
01:21Uh, can I help you?
01:24Oh, Mom, this is Taylor.
01:26My friend from Berkeley I was telling you about.
01:29This is Taylor.
01:30I thought she was a girl.
01:31No.
01:32Sorry to disappoint, but I'm definitely all man.
01:38Mm-hmm.
01:40So what are you studying at, Cal?
01:42Oh, no.
01:43I'm not in school.
01:44I just live near campus for the vibes.
01:46I had a couple of days off from my classes, so I thought, why not take a road trip in his van?
01:52Slash house.
01:53Oh, you one of those van life people.
01:56But before the drive, my mechanic gave my home a full tune-up.
01:59I had to make sure I got your precious cargo hearsay.
02:02So you sleep in your van, huh?
02:05Well, that's good.
02:06Because you're not sleeping here.
02:08Mom, it's still so hot outside.
02:11Grandpa's house, Grandpa's rules.
02:14But be nice, Daddy.
02:16Walk me out.
02:21Isn't he great?
02:22Cute, charming, and the van?
02:25What's not to like?
02:27Lord.
02:30What is she thinking?
02:32This is silly.
02:33You have to work.
02:34No, no, no.
02:35The maitre d' said she could see this until 10.
02:37So let me just talk to Garza, see how long he needs me for.
02:40Fine.
02:41But only because I've been dying to wear this dress out.
02:43You look fantastic.
02:46Oh, we should say.
02:47Ooh.
02:49Hey.
02:50Garza said, uh, classy, casual, but y'all two are showing out.
02:54All right.
02:55They called in the lab text, too?
02:57Oh, no.
02:58We were just about to, you know.
02:59Your first date.
03:00That's right.
03:01Yeah.
03:02You told her?
03:03Yeah.
03:04It's Simone.
03:05I tell her everything.
03:06Well, what?
03:07Now you gotta cancel your plan?
03:08No, no, no.
03:09Just delay them.
03:10Do you know what we're here for?
03:11I was gonna ask you the same thing.
03:12Let's go find out.
03:13Hey, what's up?
03:15Set up a profile on Clipmates.
03:17What?
03:18You're finally dipping your toes back into the dating pool?
03:21Good for you.
03:22Yeah, well, it's been a week.
03:23I haven't gotten a single message.
03:25That's statistically impossible.
03:26Dating apps have bots designed to bombard newcomers with attention so they feel welcomed.
03:30Here, let me see that.
03:32What am I doing wrong?
03:34Oh, so many things.
03:37Carter set up a Clipmates account?
03:39Who are you trying to attract?
03:41Women who are hot for serial killers?
03:43Give it back.
03:44It's not that bad.
03:45Hey, this team cleans up real nice.
03:47Thank you for coming in on such short notice.
03:49Our help is needed in an undercover op at the Luciana Hotel bar.
03:53Okay, well, what are our cover stories?
03:55We don't have any.
03:56Tonight will be stagehands.
03:58What's a stagehand?
04:00In order to control the environment on certain ops, we sometimes fill the target location with agents.
04:05And so this evening, we will all be posing as hotel guests, servers, and bartenders.
04:09Like extras in a movie.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Yeah, super boring.
04:12And what we're getting paid to do, Laura.
04:14Mm-hmm.
04:15Except you.
04:16What are you doing here?
04:17Oh, we were about to...
04:18Oh, your first date.
04:19Right.
04:20Did you tell everyone?
04:21Uh, no, just...
04:22Boss, you think they'll be able to make their dinner reservation after?
04:26I doubt it.
04:27I'm sorry.
04:28That's not...
04:30But you know what, though, Antoinette?
04:32You could join us.
04:34You are an employee of the FBI, and this is a low-risk op, so I can make it happen if you'd like.
04:39Would it be fun?
04:40So, yes.
04:41All right.
04:42Great.
04:43Yeah, great.
04:44Do I get a gun?
04:45Gun?
04:46No.
04:47No.
04:48But the Bureau is picking up the tab, so enjoy.
04:50Briefing in the sit room.
04:51Let's go.
04:57I'm Supervisory Special Agent Lewis Cronin from the San Diego Field Office.
05:02I realize this is your house, but it's my op, so what I say goes.
05:06My cyber crimes unit has been monitoring dark web chatter.
05:09An unsub with top secret clearance has offered up stolen military technology to the highest bidder.
05:16It's taken months, but our unsub has agreed to sell the tech to someone they believe is a Russian operative,
05:21but who is actually Special Agent Richie Abrams.
05:23What kind of technology?
05:25Designs for a military satellite to contract submarines up to 200 meters below the ocean.
05:30If this tech gets into the hands of our foreign enemies, this could be catastrophic for our Navy, right?
05:34Which military contractor was the tech being stolen from?
05:37DOD uses several vendors to build different aspects of the satellite, which means we're not sure.
05:41So we know a whole lot of nothing.
05:43Yes, but what we do know is that our unsub reached out today and arranged a deal.
05:48Satellite tech in exchange for $2 million.
05:51Now, they said to put all the money in this specific modeling color Montclair briefcase,
05:56and that they'd show up with a matching briefcase that's got the satellite tech inside.
06:00That exchange is set up for 10 p.m. tonight at the Luciana Hotel Bar.
06:04Any questions?
06:05One, are you sure you only want me to be a stagehand?
06:09Because I think I would be much better as Richie's hot side piece.
06:14You see it.
06:15Who are you?
06:16Simone Clark.
06:17And you work here?
06:18I'm a special agent.
06:19Then act like one.
06:20Do as you're told.
06:21Stay out of my team's way.
06:23Yes, sir.
06:25You're dismissed.
06:34Ah.
06:35Table for two, yes?
06:36Right this way.
06:37You got stuck being a waiter, huh, boss?
06:38No, I chose to be.
06:39Gives me free reign all over the restaurant.
06:40Now, remember, our unsub could probably already be here, so no shop talking, no calling me boss.
06:54Have a good evening.
06:56Ooh.
06:57Carter, this lighting is fantastic.
07:00Give me your phone so I can get your glow up photo.
07:02You're not gonna stop until I give in, are you?
07:04I'm not.
07:17Richie's on position.
07:21And now we wait.
07:26My first undercover mission.
07:28This is so exciting.
07:29You know, Matt, I brought you here?
07:31Matt.
07:32I feel like I'm in a Jean de Carre move.
07:34I've seen this side of you.
07:36What?
07:37My sexy spy son?
07:39Stick around.
07:40Okay, Carter.
07:42Less axe murderer, more leading me.
07:45Go.
07:46Well, yeah.
07:47Okay.
07:48That's a nice thirst trap photo, but I'm thinking the real issue is your bio.
07:52You gotta play up to your strengths.
07:53And if you've got a cool job.
07:54I'm not gonna put FBI agent on my profile.
07:57Why?
07:58Women love a man with a badge.
07:59Mm-hmm.
08:00Don't worry.
08:01I'll do it for you.
08:02Yeah?
08:03Are your two classic mocktails?
08:06Oh.
08:07Excuse me.
08:11Just got an alert from LA Clear.
08:12And?
08:13There was a murder in a parking garage at Aerospace Relativity.
08:16That's one of the firms with access to the satellite tech.
08:19Yeah.
08:20An engineer by the name of Spencer Gordon was garrotted in his car.
08:23No suspects and no surveillance.
08:25He's got the correct security clearance.
08:26That cannot be a coincidence.
08:28Did they find the tech on him?
08:29No, the car was empty.
08:31All right.
08:32I'll send agents down there.
08:33Copy that.
08:34Will there be anything else for you?
08:36No.
08:37Is everything okay?
08:38We're fine.
08:41So we're just supposed to sit here and make small talk?
08:44Seems odd, considering the circumstances.
08:47You know, before I was an actor, I was an extra on some kid shows.
08:51And to make the time pass, I would create these elaborate backstories.
08:56I wasn't just sitting on a bench.
08:58I was sitting on a bench, waiting for my brother,
09:02who stole my inheritance and my girlfriend.
09:05I was plotting my revenge.
09:08Sounds like fun.
09:10Yeah.
09:11So, who am I?
09:14You are Madame Debussy,
09:19the haughty owner of a rival hotel who's here scouting the competition.
09:25Haughty?
09:26Yeah.
09:27Haughty.
09:28I like that.
09:29And you're Gustave, the fiery chef de cuisine I've been trying to coach.
09:34Good evening, Madame.
09:35Your phone has been blowing up, Carter.
09:37Mm-hmm.
09:38Let us see those new profile matches.
09:39Come on.
09:40You wouldn't have any if it weren't for us.
09:41All right, but you're not allowed the message back.
09:42Okay.
09:43Oh, too thirsty.
09:44She has dead eyes.
09:45A little bit.
09:46Ooh.
09:47She can hang for a night.
09:48Mm-hmm.
09:49Mm-hmm.
09:50She wrote back.
09:51Arrest me, Daddy.
09:52Yes.
09:53I'm not dating this woman.
09:54Why not?
09:55Oh, come on, Carter.
09:56We all know you've used cuffs before.
09:57Oh, Lord.
09:58Oh, Lord is free.
09:59I'm not dating this woman.
10:00Why not?
10:01Oh, come on, Carter.
10:02We all know you've used cuffs before.
10:03Oh, Lord is free.
10:04I'm not dating this woman.
10:05Oh, you've been blowing up, Carter.
10:06Mm-hmm.
10:07Let us see those new profile matches.
10:08Come on.
10:09You wouldn't have any if it weren't for us.
10:10All right, but you're not allowed the message back.
10:11Okay.
10:12Oh, too thirsty.
10:13She has dead eyes.
10:14A little bit.
10:15Ooh.
10:16She can hang for a night.
10:17Mm-hmm.
10:18She wrote back.
10:19Arrest me, Daddy.
10:20Yes.
10:21I'm not dating this woman.
10:22Why not?
10:23Oh, come on, Carter.
10:24We all know you've used cuffs before.
10:26Oh, Lord is free here?
10:40Our run sub has landed.
10:43Rest team, stand by.
10:48False alarm.
10:49Stand down.
10:50I repeat.
10:51False alarm.
10:52Stand down.
10:53Seven minutes past the schedule of meet.
10:54What do we got?
10:55Azin's just finished searching Spencer Gordon's apartment
10:56and his personal computer.
10:57And?
10:58The dark web account we've been talking with belong to him.
10:59Okay.
11:00I'm sorry.
11:01I'm sorry.
11:02I'm sorry.
11:03I'm sorry.
11:04I'm sorry.
11:05I'm sorry.
11:06I'm sorry.
11:07I'm sorry.
11:08I'm sorry.
11:09I'm sorry.
11:10I'm sorry.
11:11I'm sorry.
11:12I'm sorry.
11:13I'm sorry.
11:14I'm sorry.
11:15I'm sorry.
11:16You know what we've been talking with belong to him.
11:18That means your cellar is dead.
11:19Someone got to him first.
11:20And that the tech is out in the open.
11:22Damn it.
11:23All right.
11:24Kill it.
11:25There's no point sitting around waiting for a dead man to show up.
11:27Copy that.
11:29We're gonna wrap things up.
11:30Looks like our guy's not gonna show.
11:32You sure about that?
11:35Yeah.
11:36Cronin is here.
11:37Positive ID on the briefcase.
11:39Maybe Spencer had a partner.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Or maybe it's his killer.
11:43Or someone else.
11:44Or maybe both.
11:52Open it.
11:58Is this a joke?
11:59I don't know.
12:00Is it?
12:01You know what?
12:02I don't know.
12:03I don't know enough for this.
12:04Take him.
12:05No, no, no, no, no.
12:06We take him now.
12:07We got nothing.
12:08Let's follow him.
12:09See where it leads.
12:10Not your call, man.
12:11Arrest team.
12:12Take him.
12:18Get in there.
12:19FBI.
12:20You're under arrest.
12:21Arrest for what?
12:22I'm just a Task-A-Lot gig worker.
12:24I got paid 500 bucks on an app to come here, wear this pin, and meet some dude to swap briefcases.
12:29He's just a Patsy.
12:30You've just been made.
12:32Damn.
12:44We are taking over the case from Cronin.
12:46He doesn't look too happy about it.
12:48Yeah, well, HQ is pissed that he pulled the trigger too soon.
12:51So, what do we got?
12:52Curious story checks out he was hired off an app to roleplay the deal.
12:54Thought it was a practical joke or something.
12:56So, they used him as bait to suss out whether there was law enforcement in here, huh?
12:59And we fell for it.
13:00Yeah.
13:01Well, can we track him at least on the app?
13:03Cybercrime said there's no way.
13:04This guy's clever.
13:05Probably tech savvy.
13:06Somehow, he figured out that Spencer Gordon was going to steal the satellite R&D and sell it.
13:11So, he kills him and then piggybacks off of Spencer's deal.
13:14I bet if Cronin never ordered us to move in, whoever's behind this would've eventually come out of hiding to make the exchange.
13:21Damn.
13:22We were so close.
13:23Well, what's done is done, okay?
13:25Now, we got work to do.
13:26Carter, you and Simone head over to the scene of Spencer Gordon's murder.
13:30See what you can find.
13:32Let's check the specs on this bin camera.
13:35See if there's a serial number or something.
13:37Get it to the lab immediately.
13:38You know, boss, I sort of have a lab right here.
13:41Okay.
13:42Did you have gloves in your purse?
13:44I'm always prepared.
13:51I've seen this type of spy cam before.
13:54There won't be a serial number on it, so tracing it will be a challenge.
13:57But it's short range, about 50 meters.
14:0050 meters?
14:01That means our runs up was inside the hotel.
14:02Okay.
14:03Brendan, get your hands on all hotel security footage and find out who was watching us.
14:07Okay.
14:08Oddest first date ever?
14:09Sorry.
14:10Just meet me in the security office.
14:14Oh, boy.
14:15Not how tonight was supposed to go.
14:16I know.
14:17Madame Debussy was supposed to seduce Gustave into a torrid affair in the kitchen.
14:22Gustave would have liked that.
14:24Madame Debussy was supposed to seduce Gustave into a torrid affair in the kitchen.
14:29Gustave would have liked that.
14:51Cameras were disabled.
14:52The text found no fingerprints or DNA.
14:54Our guy was meticulous.
14:55And vicious.
14:56What a way to go.
14:57The killer was lying in wait.
14:59Choked him from behind.
15:00Obviously it was something sharp.
15:02But look at the wounds.
15:03Madame thinks it was cheese wire.
15:05Industrial strength.
15:06Sharp.
15:07Cheese wire grot?
15:08That's specific.
15:10Let me run it through fire cap.
15:13There were three homicides in the last two years that fit the M.O.
15:17Wait.
15:18And one attempted.
15:20Frank Patterson.
15:21He survived.
15:22Where is he now?
15:23In prison.
15:24Currently six months into a three year sentence for armed robbery.
15:28Let's pay him a visit.
15:33How's it going?
15:34Wishing I hadn't picked up my phone.
15:36I was having such a good night until Garza called.
15:39Well, I do not want to hear any more complaints from you.
15:42At least your girlfriend is in the same time zone.
15:45Well, you and Atlas are trying the long distance thing?
15:48Yeah.
15:49Phone sex isn't as good as IRL.
15:50I don't know what I was thinking bringing this up to you.
15:52No more talking.
15:53Please.
15:54Hmm.
15:55Well, are you sure?
15:58Why?
15:59You got something?
16:00Maybe.
16:01The hat and the camera angle.
16:03You can't do facial recognition.
16:05Hmm.
16:06Ooh.
16:07Hold on.
16:08Yeah, that's a tattoo on his right hand, but I can't make out what it is though.
16:13Paid using your credit card.
16:15Yep.
16:16Calling for a warrant.
16:17It's midnight.
16:20This better be good.
16:21Special Agents Hope and Clark, FBI.
16:23So it's not just the heat.
16:25I really am in hell.
16:27The man was murdered tonight.
16:28Unless you're saying I'm a suspect, why should I care?
16:32We think the same person tried to kill you.
16:36Look familiar?
16:41If you arrest that bastard, do me a favor.
16:45Lock him up in here.
16:47I'll take care of the rest.
16:48That's not gonna happen.
16:50But you can help us catch the guy.
16:52I'm not trying to wear a snitch jacket even for this guy.
16:55I just wanna do my time and go back home.
16:58To your family?
16:59In Florida?
17:00Because if you help us, we can secure a transfer to a facility in state.
17:04I'm listening.
17:05You're doing time for jewelry theft, but they never recovered the pieces.
17:09Did you have an accomplice, someone who double-crossed you?
17:12I'm good.
17:13Didn't need nobody else.
17:15And that job?
17:16It was flawless.
17:18Was in and out in five minutes.
17:20But when I got in the car, someone was in back.
17:24Got a few licks in before I blacked out.
17:26Never saw the bastard's face.
17:28When I woke up, I was cuffed in a hospital bed.
17:32Couldn't talk for weeks.
17:34Do you have any idea who did this?
17:37I never tell anybody anything about my scores.
17:40Who was the fence you were going to?
17:41They had to know.
17:42I didn't give them any details.
17:44I was careful.
17:45Worked alone.
17:46Then that snake snatches it all away.
17:49Not a snake.
17:50A remora.
17:51A what?
17:52A remora.
17:53It's also called a sucker fish.
17:54They survive by suctioning onto a host animal like a shark or whale, then feed off its scraps from its kills.
18:00So this guy lets a criminal do all the work, then kills him and takes the spoils.
18:08Hey, boss.
18:09Yeah?
18:10Our suspect was watching us from the hotel lobby.
18:12Surveillance video caught him using a credit card to buy coffee and a dessert.
18:16Okay.
18:17That got us a name?
18:18No.
18:19He was smart.
18:20He used a prepaid credit card, but he also used it to rent a share B&B in Echo Park.
18:22Ah.
18:23So not so smart after all.
18:24Grab Carter and Simone.
18:25Check it out.
18:26All right.
18:27Let's go.
18:28Go.
18:29Get him.

18:50Go.
18:51Go.
18:52Go.
18:53Go.
18:54Go.
18:55Hey, boss.
18:56You okay?
18:57I got you, boss.
18:58You okay?
19:00Yeah, I think so.
19:02He got away, but we got his phone.
19:05Come on, tell me what you want.
19:10I can't believe I got sucker punched like that.
19:12It could have happened to any of us, Carter.
19:14But it happened to me.
19:15I know what'll cheer you up.
19:17Let's check your dating profile.
19:19You know, maybe your man babe caught some new fish.
19:23You got 35 new messages.
19:26This is all so superficial.
19:27So what? They like my profile.
19:29What does that really mean?
19:30It means you go out with some lovely ladies
19:32and see how it goes.
19:33I don't remember dating being this complicated.
19:35I actually don't remember dating at all
19:36because I was married for so long.
19:38I don't know, Simone.
19:40I'm an analog dater in the digital world.
19:42Maybe it's just easier if I die alone.
19:44How much blood did you lose?
19:46Because you're talking crazy.
19:48Agent Hope, it is you.
19:50Fortune, hey.
19:51I didn't know you worked here.
19:53Sorry for the delay, but we are at capacity tonight.
19:56Heat-related illnesses, accidents from downed power.
19:59The city goes nuts when the temperature spikes.
20:01Uh, hi.
20:02I'm Simone.
20:03How do you two know each other?
20:05We've crossed paths a few times.
20:08Tell her the truth.
20:10He arrested my mother a while back.
20:12Jasmine from Ventura County Jail.
20:14I remember her feisty.
20:17To say the least.
20:19So the doctor said you're good to go.
20:22I'm just gonna rewrite this.
20:24Promise to be gentle.
20:26Don't worry, I can take it.
20:31Hey, Daddy, why you up so late?
20:34What's going on?
20:35I'm guarding the front door to keep Billy from sneaking out to that boy's van of iniquity.
20:42Billy is an adult.
20:44And she needs to make all the mistakes that will turn her into the woman she's meant to be.
20:49What kind of mother did I raise you to be?
20:51A smart one.
20:52I learned from the best.
20:54And I'm doing the opposite of what you and Mama did with me.
20:57Now, what's that supposed to mean?
20:59Y'all gave me the blues about everybody I brought home.
21:03And that only made me like him even more.
21:05The teenage brain is naturally rebellious.
21:08It cannot be reasoned with.
21:10It requires reverse psychology.
21:13I get it.
21:14So we're supposed to pretend that we like him so that she'll stop liking him.
21:20Yes.
21:21That's how we're gonna get rid of him.
21:22He's a loser.
21:23Now, hold on.
21:24He's not a loser.
21:25He's just a young man finding himself.
21:28But he's trying to date my granddaughter, which means he's got to go.
21:34And he will.
21:36Trust me, Daddy.
21:37Now, get some sleep.
21:42Who knew tough dreaming could be ticklish?
21:44Well, your touch so soft, how could I not be?
21:47Should I step back out?
21:50I'm all done.
21:51And I am as good as new.
21:53Boom.
21:55I've gotta run.
21:56But if you need anything, anything at all, find me.
22:01Nice seeing you again, if you know.
22:02You too.
22:03And call me, Cardi.
22:08So I guess we can delete that date nap.
22:11I don't follow.
22:12If she threw it at you any harder, you'd have a concussion.
22:15That girl is into you, Mr. Analog Dater.
22:19What?
22:20Can't she just be a kind-hearted healthcare worker without you making it all dirty?
22:24Hell no.
22:26She like you.
22:28Come on.
22:30How's the arm?
22:31Fine.
22:32How's the case?
22:33Don't ask.
22:34Cronin went tattletailing to the AD.
22:35He said we lost this guy because I didn't call SWAT in for backup.
22:39He just wants the case back for himself.
22:40I'm sorry, man.
22:41Don't be.
22:42It was my call.
22:43Well, it's still our case, so let's work it.
22:46What do we miss?
22:47He used a fake name to set up a Share B&B account, but we have no forensic evidence.
22:51Just a partial palm print.
22:53We're no closer to a positive ID.
22:55We know more about his victims than we do about him.
22:58All four are known criminals, accomplished thieves, diamond theft, high-end cars, pricey artwork.
23:03Exactly.
23:04He preys on his own kind.
23:05Right.
23:06Just like a remora.
23:07Uh-uh.
23:08Stop trying to make remora happen.
23:10It's not gonna.
23:11He didn't name for an unsub.
23:12It totally fits his MO.
23:13The metaphor doesn't even make sense, Carter.
23:16A remora doesn't kill his host's animal.
23:18It just eats its leftovers.
23:20Well, it's actually scientifically proven that remoras feed on their host's feces, not their kills.
23:24You hear that?
23:25So, unless you're calling our spy satellite criminal excrement, stop with remora.
23:31Okay.
23:32Well, hopefully we'll learn this guy's real name once cyber gets into his burner cell,
23:35which won't be at least until the morning at the very earliest.
23:38So for right now, everyone just go home.
23:40Get a few hours rest.
23:41Go.
23:42Don't.
23:43No.
23:44Simone, you're missing my point.
23:46No.
23:47Are you back to work already?
23:54Big case.
23:55I got to.
23:56What about the case of the man in the van?
23:59Follow Molly.
24:00Good morning, beautiful family.
24:02Hey.
24:03Where is that cute boyfriend of yours?
24:06He's in his van, where grandpa told him he had to stay.
24:08But it's good, because he usually sleeps till about noon anyways.
24:11Can't be mad at a man who gets his beauty rest.
24:14Oh, and I've been thinking, you know, about this hashtag van life.
24:21He should be commended for being eco-friendly.
24:24You want some coffee, daddy?
24:25Plus, just think of all the money he's saving living in his van.
24:29You know, on bills, real responsibility.
24:32You know, I think, uh, he just might be the one.
24:36Oh, I get it.
24:37You two hate him.
24:38No, it's not like that.
24:39You see a free spirit living out of a van?
24:42I see someone who was there for me this semester while I was struggling emotionally.
24:46He loves me and supports me, and he makes me so happy.
24:51That's still not good enough.
24:53I am happy Taylor has been there for you.
24:55Honestly, I am, but come on.
24:58I mean, the boy has nothing going on with his life.
25:01How would you even know?
25:02You've barely spoken to him.
25:03You know, Mom, when you were a guidance counselor, you saw the best in everyone.
25:07Now you're fed and you only see the worst.
25:10That is not true.
25:11Daddy, that's not true, right?
25:14It's not.
25:15No, it's not true.
25:17But it's not false either.
25:19Okay.
25:20Look, your mother just wants what's best.
25:23Same.
25:24And you know, right now, me being here is upsetting.
25:26So I think I'm gonna leave.
25:27Okay, now you overreacted.
25:29I love you, Mom.
25:31But right now, I just can't.
25:34Daddy, do you hear sound coming out of my mouth?
25:37Because it seems to me like a little girl whose entire life I'm financing
25:42is forgetting who she is and how things go up and through here.
25:46You know what?
25:47I just need to clear my head.
25:48Good.
25:49Do it.
25:50And we'll talk about this when I get home.
25:52Yeah.
25:53I won't be here.
25:54Billy.
25:55Have I changed?
26:10What?
26:11Remember how I was in the academy on the first day?
26:14Am I the same person?
26:15No.
26:16You're, uh, you're better.
26:17No, I'm serious.
26:18Since being in law enforcement, I'm-I'm hunting serial killers,
26:22going to crime scenes, interrogating folks.
26:25And I think it's made me more judgmental, biased even.
26:29That's not who I am.
26:30Listen, I feel the same way too sometimes.
26:33Sure.
26:34We can't let this job change us, B.
26:36We gotta hold each other accountable, just like we did at Quantico.
26:45Did we get anything on the burner sale?
26:47Yeah, the text just sent it to us.
26:49You made three calls on it, and the first two were to foreign consulates here in L.A.
26:52Russia wanted to happen to phone call China a little less.
26:55Looks like they were trying to offload the tech to one of them.
26:57Yeah, but if you want to do real business with a foreign power, you contact the embassy in D.C.,
27:01not the consulate here in Los Angeles.
27:03Maybe that's why the phone calls are so short, right?
27:05I mean, what, are they calling and asking to get transferred to the espionage office?
27:09Well, it does prove that the unsub has the goods.
27:11He just doesn't know how to go about selling them.
27:13The remor is used to piggybacking on other criminals' plans, not creating his own.
27:16You called him the remor.
27:18What about this third caller, Rebecca Laramie?
27:22R&D manager, Sonic Speed Industries. What's that?
27:26Sonic Speed Industries, that's Aerospace Relativity's largest competitor.
27:30He's trying to sell to their rival. Smart.
27:33Well, the call lasted over seven minutes.
27:36That's more than enough time to make a deal.
27:38Absolutely. Let's get her in here, right now.
27:40Yeah.
27:41Wait, so this guy was for real?
27:42Yes, Ms. Laramie, he was.
27:44Okay, so it wasn't Todd an accounting pranking you.
27:46Oh, come on. You were on the phone with him for seven minutes.
27:48Hey, look, it's spreadsheets all day. This was the highlight of my morning.
27:51Okay, did the caller try and sell you top-secret satellite info from Aerospace Relativity?
27:55If I knew this was real, I would have taken him up on it.
27:58Would have got me a big promotion.
27:59And a prison sentence. This isn't a joke. This is espionage.
28:04Wait, am I in trouble?
28:05We need you to tell us everything he said to you.
28:08Oh, well, you can listen to the call yourself.
28:10The company records all our calls.
28:12What I have to show you is worth your time.
28:14How about we meet in two hours at Angels Gate in San Pedro?
28:17Ms. Laramie didn't agree to the meeting, but Simone has a theory.
28:20My grandmother grew up in San Pedro. Fort MacArthur Battery Barlow is an old bunker there.
28:26It has graffiti all over it. It's actually pretty cool.
28:29And I'm interested. Why, Simone?
28:30Because he called it Angels Gate, and only locals call it that.
28:34So it got me thinking maybe he grew up around there.
28:36It's pretty thin, but it's what we got, so what do we know?
28:39Most criminals don't start out as murderers.
28:41They usually build themselves up one felony at a time,
28:43so chances are Unsub has a criminal record.
28:45Well, let's take a look.
28:47Male. Black.
28:50You said 25 to 30?
28:52Make it 35.
28:53Oh, and don't forget that the hotel surveillance showed
28:55that he has a tattoo on his right hand.
28:57Okay, now, any former or current address in San Pedro, California.
29:04Okay. Five possibles.
29:06Carter, you were up close and personal with this guy.
29:08Is he in there?
29:14That's him.
29:15Yeah?
29:16Trevor Bask.
29:18He did time for breaking and entering, got out two years ago, fits the profile.
29:21Put out a bolo, check aliases, and contact all known associates.
29:24We are close, team.
29:28Hey.
29:29Yes?
29:31If that's not how you greeted everyone, a guy might think you did something wrong.
29:35Interrupting my workflow may or may not fall into that category.
29:38Well, it might be for a good reason.
29:40I'd like to reset our first date.
29:43What did you have in mind?
29:45Well, tonight, I was thinking maybe we could do Spanish food at La Fonda, followed by a romantic starlet stroll at the observatory, maybe some dancing at the Warwick.
29:57Ambitious?
29:58Yeah.
29:59And impressive.
30:00I'm very much on board.
30:02Great.
30:03But isn't it a gamble with an active case and your unpredictable hours?
30:08Maybe, but I bet on us.
30:11Okay.
30:12Then I'm in.
30:14Okay.
30:15We got a facial recognition hit on Trevor Basque from a traffic cam. Let's move.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Uh, I'll see you tonight.
30:22Okay.
30:36Hey, buddy.
30:37Pete.
30:39Been a while?
30:40Yeah.
30:41I appreciate you doing this so last minute.
30:43No problem.
30:45Why the urgency?
30:46I got a lot of heat on me, man.
30:48I gotta get out of the country.
30:49But I'm not trying to go in empty pockets.
30:51Yeah.
30:52Well, it's a good thing I brought this then, huh?
30:56Yeah.
30:57Yeah.
30:58Just, uh, one question first.
31:00Were you the one who killed that engineer?
31:04Strung a wire around his neck?
31:07Yeah.
31:19Wow!
31:22Yeah!
31:24LAPD canvassed the area man fitting Trevor's description went inside about 10 minutes ago, and he was carrying the messenger bag
31:33He's gonna try to sell the plans. Let's move
31:54No one's here. Couldn't have gone far. Simone, what is it? Found him
32:14So Trevor set up a deal to sell the satellite R&D but got double-crossed by the buyer who killed him
32:19He took the tech. Don't say it. What? That the Remora got Remora'd
32:24I wasn't going to but it's true. The fact that you said it lets us all know how fitting the name Remora is
32:29Is it just me or is this an odd way to kill someone?
32:32Gunshot to the stomach and then strangulation using the victim's own garage
32:36Gunshot was meant to immobilize Trevor not kill him. The unsub wanted to take his time kill him slowly
32:42This murder was purposeful. So shoots him in the stomach. That way he can't fight back. He fishes around finds Trevor's own weapon of choice
32:50Finishes him off with that
32:53It's cold
32:54This was about more than stealing the satellite tech, wasn't it?
32:58Yeah, it's personal Trevor and this new unsub have a history
33:02And that's the way we're gonna ID whoever did this
33:05We're gonna have to tear Trevor's life apart and figure out who had the most hate on for it
33:10Let's just hope we can before they sell the tech. Come on
33:12Yeah
33:16I think I got something
33:18I did a deep dive on Trevor Basque. Take a look at his known associates. All right, which one?
33:22Peter McCord is sell me. That's the one
33:26They shared a cell in Pelican Bay for two years
33:28Now McCord is a fence and a known trafficker of high-end items for an international clientele
33:33So maybe Trevor got McCord to sell their secrets?
33:36But why would McCord kill him if they were doing business together? I know why in McCord's list of known associates
33:42It's Jared Mackey who stole a shipment of rare metals and Fernando Pierce who pulled a heist at MoMA
33:49Those names sound familiar both were grunted after they pulled their jobs and McCord was their fence looks that way
33:54So tell me if this makes sense after sharing a prison cell and figuring out what McCord does Trevor gets an idea
34:01All right, why risk pulling a heist yourself when you can piggyback other people's heists and just rob them
34:06Yeah, so Trevor follows McCord's associates around until they perform their jobs
34:11Like a remora
34:12Then kills them and takes the stolen goods for himself and sells them through a different fence
34:17But if you're screwing over McCord, why would he have him fenced the stolen secrets?
34:21Because Trevor got cocky and figured McCord wasn't onto a scheme and he needed a guy who could give him a big payday for those secrets
34:28That backfired in a big way because Spencer Gordon's death is all over the news
34:31It's the same M.O. as who hit four of his known associates McCord got wise
34:35So when Trevor called with the tech to sell McCord realized he could get revenge and a big payday
34:40Where can we look for McCord?
34:41There are seven known addresses spread out over Los Angeles one residence six businesses
34:47So Laura Brendan why don't you take the home in K-Town Carter and Simone hit up this pawn shop in Hollywood
34:53I'll coordinate with LAPD and get them to cover the other locations on the west side
34:56That's him
35:02He's here request some backup copy sending LAPD units to you now secure the back
35:07I'm gonna shine like a spotlight when you look like this you got the little value
35:11What it look like yeah, what it look like, yeah, what it look like
35:13Yeah, what it look like, yeah, what it look like
35:15It's here little thing
35:16I live like this and I don't waste time
35:18Cuz you can't make that back
35:20No, you can't make that back
35:21I'm a mute yet the regular play
35:23F.B.I.
35:27Simone, he's running towards you.
35:53You okay?
36:02I'm fine.
36:05Minus a couple of pop stitches.
36:08One in custody.
36:09Send a medic.
36:10The tech?
36:12Got it.
36:20I just got off the phone with the DOD.
36:22They are quite pleased their satellite tech is safe
36:24and are planning to implement new security protocols.
36:27Which I'm sure won't be a waste of taxpayer dollars.
36:30There is an upside to frivolous government spending, you know.
36:33Brendan?
36:34Yeah?
36:35Are you not interested in what will surely be my pithy comments
36:37on the military-industrial complex?
36:39Uh, can I be interested tomorrow?
36:41I don't want to be late for my first date with Anthony.
36:43I thought you already had your first date.
36:44Yeah, that was a train wreck. We're not counting that.
36:46This is a do-over. Do you mind, boss?
36:50Come on, Matt.
36:51Good night, Brendan.
36:52Great, thank you.
36:54Is Carter still in the hospital?
36:57Yeah, he's getting re-stitched.
36:58And if he doesn't blow it,
37:00he's gonna be getting something else,
37:02if you know what I mean.
37:04Asked for it by name, huh?
37:07Well, you said to come back if I needed anything.
37:10What the hell happened?
37:12It's a long story.
37:13Uh, you always work nights?
37:22Yep.
37:23Every night?
37:25Four on, three off.
37:27Quick think.
37:29Mm-hmm.
37:30Mm-hmm.
37:32Uh, would you ever...
37:35I mean, if... if you're available or not...
37:38Because I know you're busy.
37:39Uh, but, um...
37:41Would you want to...
37:42Are you trying to ask me out?
37:44Not very well.
37:46Mm-hmm.
37:47I haven't done this in almost 20 years.
37:49You're just out of practice.
37:51Try again.
37:53Fortune.
37:57Would you like to go on a date with me?
38:00I would.
38:04All right.
38:08Finally, I thought you were going to choose your job over me again.
38:12This one is not my fault.
38:14I-I promise I will make it up to you tonight.
38:17Call in a favor to a restaurant, and we...
38:20This is Antoinette.
38:22Hello, Margaret.
38:26Of course, I'll be waiting.
38:30Brush job.
38:31Uh-huh.
38:32Evidence on homicide.
38:34Looks like a proper first date.
38:35We'll have to wait.
38:36I'm so sorry.
38:37Right.
38:38I'll see you tomorrow.
38:40Absolutely.
38:52Uh-huh.
38:53Uh-huh.
38:54Uh-huh.
38:55Uh-huh.
38:56Uh-huh.
38:57Uh-huh.
38:58Uh-huh.
38:59Uh-huh.
39:00Uh-huh.
39:01Uh-huh.
39:02Uh-huh.
39:03Uh-huh.
39:04Uh-huh.
39:05Uh-huh.
39:06Uh-huh.
39:07Uh-huh.
39:08Uh-huh.
39:09Uh-huh.
39:10Uh-huh.
39:11Uh-huh.
39:12Uh-huh.
39:13Uh-huh.
39:14Uh-huh.
39:15Uh-huh.
39:16Uh-huh.
39:18Wait, seriously?
39:19You can cook salmon on papillote?
39:23Uh, hell no.
39:24But I know how to order it.
39:26Hey.
39:27Hey.
39:28Did the rest of your day go any better?
39:33Professionally?
39:34Yeah.
39:35Personally?
39:36Mm-hmm.
39:37You already know the answer to that.
39:40I called Billie.
39:41For two hours I tried to convince her to have that boy turn that house van around so that
39:46that y'all can work things out.
39:49Thank you for trying, Daddy, but I'm gonna go call him myself.
39:54You don't have to.
39:59OK, now, as a guy who spent eight years away
40:04from the people he loves, I'm not
40:06with that stomp out angry and not speaking thing,
40:10not in this family.
40:12We can disagree and need space, but we
40:16don't stop talking, so talk.
40:22Thank you, Daddy, and thank you for coming back.
40:28I don't have a lot of time.
40:29Taylor's putting gas in the van, and I got to get back to school.
40:32OK, well, then, let me make it quick.
40:34You were right.
40:36I judged Taylor before I had a chance to get to know him.
40:39He's a great guy.
40:40And I'm looking forward to getting to know that for myself.
40:44But if he ever treats you badly, you know who to call.
40:47Yeah.
40:48Grandpa, you can be a little too much sometimes.
40:53And I want to apologize for my attitude earlier.
40:57I was out of line.
40:59Well, that's OK.
41:01I talk it up to you being around them Berkeley kids
41:04a little too long, but I'm glad you realized.
41:09I want to say sorry for saying you changed when you haven't.
41:13No, I have changed, but I'm working on it.
41:17And you've changed too.
41:19You don't need my input in your life anymore.
41:21Sure I do.
41:23Just only when I asked for it.
41:26OK, you got it.
41:28Promise.
41:30Oh.
41:33It's Taylor.
41:34He's out back.
41:36I love you.
41:37I love you too.
41:38Mwah.
41:40Hey, don't forget to call when you get there.
41:43Hmm.
41:45Does parenting ever get easier, Daddy?
41:50You want the truth?
41:52Or do you want me to just be a father and make you feel better?
41:57The feel-better one.
41:58Hung out to dry
42:01Mm-hmm.
42:02In the wind and the rain
42:05Where your soul is longing
42:09While your ship drips away
