00:52Let's go.
01:22Delivery, Morgan Guillory.
01:32A little up here, bud?
01:33Yeah.
01:35You got mom flowers?
01:36That's so nice.
01:37Oh, my gosh.
01:38Mom, dad got you flowers.
01:39What?
01:40These are beautiful and super expensive.
01:43What's this about?
01:44Well, you are worth every penny that was spent by someone else who isn't me.
01:48I just ran into the delivery guy.
01:49Put him here.
01:50Oh, good.
01:51Ava cleaned up the breakfast dishes just like she promised.
01:54I also promised to change Chloe and be ready to leave on time.
01:57You only get two tops.
01:59Ooh, who are these from?
02:00I don't know.
02:01Is there a card?
02:03Morgan, thanks for a lovely adventure.
02:05Until we meet again.
02:07Reese.
02:08Reese?
02:09Weird.
02:10Who's Reese?
02:10Just this guy I worked on a case with.
02:13And he's sending you dollias?
02:15I guess so.
02:18You know, I think that these flowers could use a little water.
02:23Oh, wait.
02:24Hang on.
02:24Oh, oh.
02:25Oh, oh.
02:25Turn it off.
02:27Sorry.
02:28That just started last night.
02:29Whole house is falling apart.
02:30I will take a look at it.
02:33Mom, I need a hair dryer.
02:35You get a hair dryer.
02:36You know where they are.
02:38Hey, but do you know where this Reese guy is?
02:39What?
02:39I don't know.
02:40Okay, gotta go to work.
02:42Uh, Santa Monica Mountains.
02:44Wear sensible shoes.
02:47Okay, thanks, Dad.
02:49All right.
02:50Everybody out the door in five.
02:56Does Reese have a last name?
03:12Well, I see you sort of took my advice.
03:25I didn't want to get into a shoe fight.
03:28Victim's name is Curtis Bear.
03:30Ex-con.
03:31Armed robbery, multiple assaults.
03:34Hiker spotted the truck and called it in.
03:36Dawson's getting their statements.
03:37Brake lines on the truck were cut.
03:39Uni's found pools of brake fluid on top of that hill.
03:41Looks like that's where the truck was parked when it happened.
03:45Any idea what the guy was doing out here?
03:47Well, we have some thoughts.
03:49Here's what we found in the truck.
03:53Rifle with a long-range scope.
03:55Mm-hmm.
03:56Subject left home, 6 a.m.
03:57Mulholland to Backbone Trail.
03:59Okay, so he was tailing someone.
04:01Saved best for last.
04:03Got to be a few grand here.
04:04$3,750.
04:05That's a down payment.
04:06Half of $7,500, a quarter of $15,000.
04:09Buy everything on layaway.
04:10Get good at that math, too.
04:11Down payment would fit the note.
04:13Hmm.
04:14Balance upon completion, and I'm watching you so I'll know.
04:17This certainly feels like Mr. Bear was hired to do a hit.
04:19The question is, did he finish the job?
04:21Are you saying there might be another victim out here?
04:24Right.
04:25That is a lot of ground to cover to hunt for a body that might not exist.
04:29Well, this means we need to narrow our search.
04:32I'm seeing a lot of orange golf balls around here.
04:35And some of them are brand new.
04:38They haven't had a chance to be exposed to the elements yet.
04:40Like someone was hitting this morning.
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:42Okay, so our golfer might be bare subject, but even so, these balls could have been from anywhere.
04:46Well, that's not true.
04:48The path that a golf ball takes in the distance are completely related.
04:50When a golfer slices the ball and it goes away from his body, it has less energy and travels a shorter distance than if you were to hit it straight.
05:01If a golfer hooks the ball, it goes across his body, has more energy, and goes further.
05:10So all we have to do is look at the spread of where these golf balls landed.
05:14That way we can work backwards, and that helps us figure out where they came from.
05:20Which was right up there.
05:31Also, our golfer was a lefty.
05:45Perfect sight line.
05:46Swing's a disaster.
05:47Ah, I'll work on my air golf.
05:51Meantime, get forensics to come up here and process this area.
05:53Pretty sure this is where Bear's subject was standing.
05:55Copy that, tiger.
05:59Next question.
06:00Bear's subject leave dead or alive?
06:02No blood, no dead body.
06:03Yeah, these tire tracks look kind of normal.
06:05No spin-out, doesn't look like anybody left in a hurry.
06:07Yeah, like you would if you were being shot at by a sniper.
06:10Looks like whoever Bear was watching, they left alive.
06:12What's this?
06:15Fine, you were right about the shoes.
06:17Just trying to help.
06:20Is this a golf club?
06:23Oh, look at this.
06:25Lefty.
06:26I never doubted you for a second, Guillory.
06:29There's no branding on it.
06:30Looks like it was 3D printed.
06:32What do you make of that?
06:33V might stand for version number.
06:35You think this guy's printing golf clubs?
06:37Well, if we're right, Bear's subject is a left-handed inventor
06:41who throws his golf clubs when he gets pissed.
06:43Whoever it is, we need to find him fast.
06:44Right, because the hitman's dead,
06:46but this golfer still has a hit out on him.
06:47And there's another reason.
06:49Our golfer could be the one who hit the hitman.
07:02Keep spare boots laying around.
07:04Can you stop obsessing over my shoes, please?
07:06Uni's found a digital camera on the hillside
07:09while we were mopping up.
07:10Looks like he got thrown from Bear's truck in the fall.
07:12TID pulled these off his memory card.
07:17Oh, okay.
07:18This guy looks fun.
07:20Any luck pulling prints off the clubs you found?
07:22Guy wears a glove when he golfs.
07:23Anything older was smudged.
07:24Well, we can run these through facial recognition,
07:26see if anything pops up.
07:28You don't have to.
07:30You don't recognize him?
07:32A brush bar that loosens 30% more dirt than the competition.
07:37An ultra-fine particulate filter.
07:39And a bin that needs to be emptied less often.
07:41I designed the Neumeier Sweep using the same motto I apply to everything.
07:48And so should you.
07:50Do it best or don't do it at all.
07:54Do it best or don't do it at all?
07:57His name is Douglas Neumeier.
07:58He invented the Neumeier Sweep.
07:59I've used that vacuum.
08:01I absolutely hate it.
08:06I think it's way too powerful.
08:09It should come with a warning label.
08:10That label would be interesting.
08:12Yeah, the Neumeier Sweep was implicated in over a dozen home fires last year.
08:15Trace back to faulty wiring.
08:17Vacuum cleaners are full of lint, so when they go up, they go up fast.
08:20Four severe injuries, four deaths.
08:22Oh, my God.
08:24It's terrible.
08:25Neumeier was accused of knowing the vacuum could catch fire, burying it, and keeping it in stores anyway.
08:30How did I not hear about this?
08:31Neumeier's lawyers got gag orders imposed so as not to taint a potential jury.
08:35For the most part, it stayed out of the press.
08:37A potential jury?
08:38Neumeier's facing criminal charges?
08:40He could.
08:40Negligent homicide.
08:41The investigation's still ongoing.
08:43FBI's winning point.
08:44Good.
08:45Meantime, Neumeier's faced a bunch of death threats, mostly from victims' families.
08:49I hear he's gotten obsessed with his safety, jumping between multiple homes to keep his location secret.
08:55And hiring pro-security, judging from the pics on Bear's camera.
08:58You think one of those bodyguards did their job a little too well and took out a hitman?
09:01I think we can take Neumeier and his goons off the table.
09:03If one of them killed Bear, they wouldn't have left a mess of evidence saying they were up there.
09:06Still, we need to find Neumeier ASAP, regardless of who killed a hitman.
09:11His life is still in danger.
09:12Got it.
09:13Let's do it.
09:14I'm surprised.
09:15I was expecting you'd have a problem protecting this guy.
09:18You can protect him if you want.
09:19I want to find him because he killed four people and you should rot in jail.
09:22As long as we keep Neumeier safe and find whoever killed Bear.
09:25Daphne and Oz, go talk to the victims' families.
09:27See if anybody pops out as having hired a hitman.
09:30Morgan and Karatek.
09:30Go find the genius inventor with multiple houses who does not want to be found.
09:36Morgan.
09:37Word?
09:40This is about Arthur?
09:41Not much to report, but I wanted to keep you updated.
09:44Forensics finished processing the truck.
09:46No prints besides his own.
09:48No blood or signs of struggle.
09:50So maybe he wasn't hurt.
09:52At least not there.
09:53We're giving it 24 hours to see if he turns up.
09:56After that, it goes to missing persons.
09:58Ugh.
09:59We're doing everything we can.
10:02You good to stay focused on this case?
10:04Yeah.
10:07Go to work.
10:12Hey, everything all right?
10:13Yep.
10:15I figured I'd reach out to Neumeier's company, see if someone over there can tell us where
10:18he's holed up.
10:19We could do that, but it's in Berlin.
10:21It's the middle of the night right now.
10:22It's going to be a while before we hear back.
10:23And you've already thought of a quicker way to find him, haven't we?
10:26There's something I noticed up on those trails.
10:28All the sets of footprints from both bodyguards were this brand, Volkner.
10:33I looked it up.
10:34It's a German military supplier.
10:36I mean, one bodyguard wearing German army boots could be anything.
10:39But both of them wearing them, you're thinking they're former military.
10:43Neumeier's company is based in Germany.
10:44It makes sense he'd hire a security firm he already knew.
10:46So we find a firm with offices in both L.A. and Berlin.
10:50And you find Neumeier.
10:50Are you sure there's no Dr. Berman?
10:58I hate my PBL.
11:04Two guys from the photos walking out now.
11:07We're coming around to pick you up.
11:08The way of someone, the sun needs out.
11:12The sea's full of agents.
11:16To calm the space between the grains of sand.
11:21And to make...
11:22There's someone here who laughs too hard at everything.
11:30You say he's in here.
11:34Who are you?
11:43You cannot be here.
11:44L.A.P.D.
11:45Where are they going?
11:46We need a word with Mr. Neumeier.
11:48We believe he may be in danger.
11:49You can't go in there right now.
11:51If you don't take all, just give us a second.
11:54Cairnick, body.
11:55You stay here.
11:56Stay here.
11:57Wait.
11:57Wait.
11:57You don't understand.
12:04Call an ambulance.
12:08Whoa.
12:09Who the hell are you?
12:11Gun.
12:12FBI.
12:13Who are your weapons?
12:14Put your guns down.
12:14Put it down.
12:15Put your guns down.
12:17Put it down.
12:17Who are your weapons?
12:18Okay, okay.
12:19Everybody calm down.
12:20Calm down.
12:21We're all calm.
12:23All right?
12:24Look.
12:24Look.
12:24You care to explain what the hell you're doing here?
12:33You stepped an R-Op.
12:34You first.
12:35We're investigating the death of a hitman for hire who we believe was targeting this man.
12:46What?
12:47It's not a hitman for hire.
12:49It was one of ours.
12:51Posen is one.
12:53What?
12:53A murder victim.
12:56He's an undercover fed.
13:06Bear wasn't a killer for hire.
13:08He was FBI.
13:09Fake hitman?
13:10Sounds like a bad action movie.
13:12No, it gets results, though.
13:13Are those results Jason Statham?
13:15Someone wants someone dead, they think they've hired a cold-blooded pro, but in reality, they've
13:18hired an undercover fed.
13:19All the stuff the agents were doing, Bear's notes, the photos faking that Newmire was
13:23dead.
13:23All tricks the FBI uses to build a case against a client.
13:26Undercover wears the wire, shows the clients the photos, proving he's finished the job.
13:30The client pays up, and they get him on tape saying the money is for murder.
13:33So no Jason Statham.
13:35Are you the group from LAPD?
13:36Yes, we are.
13:37Special Agent Maira Taylor, case manager on the Newmire op.
13:40I look forward to working together.
13:42Waiting for one more?
13:44No, we're all here.
13:44Oh, there he is.
13:46Hey, Nikki.
13:46Hey, sorry to hold you up.
13:49Hi, Myra.
13:55Agent Taylor and I worked a task force back when I was undercover, so when Major Crime stepped
14:00into their op, she called me directly.
14:02This way.
14:05You worked undercover?
14:07I can't tell you all my secrets.
14:09We're over here.
14:09Oh, good.
14:15Now we can get started.
14:16You already know Akko and Kessler.
14:18This is our boss.
14:19Wayne Vincent, ASAC, L-A-C-I-D.
14:23Something funny?
14:25I don't.
14:25It's just a lot of initials.
14:27Very important.
14:29And you are?
14:30Morgan Guillory, ABCDEFG.
14:32Ms. Guillory works with us as a consultant.
14:35She has some issues with this investigation.
14:36To be clear, I don't have any issues with finding the guy who killed your agent.
14:40I'm just thinking as long as we're here, you know, maybe we could take down the rich murderer,
14:44too.
14:45Well, that's not why we're here.
14:47So, let's keep our extra credit project to ourselves.
14:51Taylor.
14:52The man you thought was a hitman, Curtis Baer, was really named Curtis Bellinger.
14:58Decorated undercover out of the Denver field office.
15:01Two FBI stars, that's our purple heart.
15:03One medal of valor for risking his life, saving other agents.
15:07Left behind a wife and a little boy.
15:09How could you not know he was dead until we told you?
15:12His next check-in wasn't until tomorrow.
15:14You guys found him before we did.
15:16None of us knew Bellinger well.
15:18Murder for Hire guys are specialists.
15:20He flew in just for this case.
15:21He was living out of a motel for the duration of the op.
15:24When was his last check-in?
15:26The client left payment in a note saying he was watching Bellinger.
15:29Could be he saw him in your last check-in and made Bellinger for a vet.
15:33Exactly our theory.
15:34Then, fearing Bellinger was on to him, the guy killed Bellinger to cover his tracks.
15:38Wait, the guy?
15:39You don't know who hired him?
15:40Initial contact came across a hitman for hire site that was actually an FBI front.
15:44Client logged in using a fake ID.
15:47The Bureau subpoenaed the internet provider, but so far, the company's fighting it.
15:51Bellinger had been steering the client toward in-person meetings, but so far, they've insisted
15:55on debt drops to exchange instructions and money.
15:58Short of it is, we're still working on IDing the person who hired Bellinger.
16:02First focus have been the people who have issued death threats against Neumeier.
16:06Okay.
16:07Detective Osdill can stay here.
16:08You can go over those death threats with him.
16:10Daphne and I can go to Neumeier's house, see if we can dig around, find out who might
16:13want him dead.
16:14This wouldn't just be about your extra credit project, would it?
16:17I'm an incredible multitasker.
16:19Detective Keredick and I will go to Bellinger's motel room.
16:22If someone made him, could be an indication of it there.
16:41My whole life is in here.
16:43My calendars, all my contacts, my emails.
16:46Anything I can do to help, say the word.
16:49You could confess.
16:52That you knew your vacuums were dangerous.
16:55That way you could be in prison, and that's a lot safer than being out here, right?
16:58Feels like a win-win to me.
17:01You're the consultant.
17:02I was told you have a singular mind.
17:06You're not what I expected.
17:07Yeah, I hear that a lot.
17:09You, on the other hand, are exactly what I expected.
17:14That's Uppsala, Sweden.
17:16I taught engineering at Uppsala University.
17:19It's known as the Oxford of Northern Europe.
17:21Real Oxford didn't want you, Morgan?
17:24I'll be upstairs if you need me.
17:29You gonna clean up the blood on the floor?
17:31Esmeralda will get it.
17:35She's in tomorrow.
17:37So the guy who got rich making vacuum cleaners doesn't clean up after himself?
17:40Great.
17:40Real good.
17:41Got it.
17:41Well, we don't have to like a guy.
17:43We just need to figure out who wants him dead.
17:45Well, good luck with that.
17:46Bet anybody who knows him wants him dead.
17:48Haven't met Esmeralda, but I guarantee she does.
17:51Where are you going?
17:53To Snoop.
17:54You know where we're not gonna find anything helpful?
17:56In that laptop, because he gave it to us.
17:59Is the study this way?
18:00Mm-hmm.
18:10Motel manager said Bellinger kept to himself.
18:13Didn't notice anyone suspicious hanging around.
18:15Guests either.
18:16But that's not saying much.
18:16This place gets rapid turnaround.
18:18Looking for anything in particular?
18:19Bellinger's stash.
18:20Someplace he'd hide his casework, his notes, service weapon.
18:24Okay, so we're looking for a place that someone wouldn't find easily,
18:27but that Bellinger could get to quickly.
18:29Exactly.
18:30I've lived out of rooms like this.
18:31If Bellinger thought somebody was on to him,
18:34most likely the place we'll find proof of it is in there.
18:36Mm-hmm.
18:41So where'd you work undercover?
18:44Oakland, mostly.
18:45Lived up there during my running from my family phase.
18:48I didn't know you had one of those.
18:50Wasn't everyone?
18:54Sir, I'm guessing you had a reason for this little team-up.
19:01If you've got a question to ask, just ask it.
19:06Remember our chat recently about keeping me in the loop?
19:09How could I forget?
19:10Well, maybe you can help me with that.
19:12With what?
19:13$20 million painting disappears right at the same time as your partner goes AWOL for a few hours.
19:20I contacted that art consultant afterwards, a guy Morgan seemed unusually chummy with.
19:26And who, up until that point, would stop at nothing to recover that painting.
19:31Then, suddenly, considers the case closed?
19:35I don't know.
19:36You tell me, detective.
19:37What am I supposed to think?
19:39Everything I know is contained in my report, sir.
19:42Beyond that, you can think whatever you want to think.
19:44If you're covering for her, be very careful.
19:48If I'm covering for my partner, sir, it would seem to me that either you should approve, or you're a hypocrite.
20:10Found it.
20:14Hey, buddy.
20:26You know what I'm thinking?
20:28Uh, almost never, but that's part of what I love about you.
20:31You and Mom deserve a night off.
20:32When was the last time you went to the movies or tried a new restaurant?
20:35Wow, that's really thoughtful, Elliot.
20:38Thanks, but we get our breaks in.
20:40You know, I hang with you guys while Mom does her thing, and vice versa.
20:42No, I mean together.
20:45Why would we hang together?
20:48Come sit down.
20:49I think you should do something nice for her.
20:51Well, I got good news for you.
20:52I'm currently in the middle of fixing her sink.
20:55Is romance dead?
20:57I'm sorry, what are we talking about?
20:58Do you not see what's going on here?
21:00I guess I don't.
21:01The gauntlet's been thrown.
21:02I can't help you if you're not even going to try.
21:04Any progress?
21:20Yeah, lots.
21:22First, I went through all the files in your study.
21:24Mostly boring, but I did find out one thing.
21:27You know that charitable foundation that all these awards came from?
21:30He owns that.
21:32And he just moves money from one of his bank accounts into another one of his bank accounts,
21:35and he gives himself awards for it.
21:38Anyway, ever since then, I've just been looking through these files that the FBI gave us
21:42about a faulty vacuum cleaner that kills people.
21:45I meant in identifying who hired a hitman to kill me.
21:47Yeah, don't you think those two are connected?
21:50You know what's crazy?
21:50The only reason you're not in prison is because of a lucky break.
21:54You gotta check this out.
21:56The feds had a letter to Neumeier from his own factory warning him that the wiring wasn't safe.
22:02You knew your vacuum was a time bomb.
22:03These matters are highly technical.
22:05It's far more complicated than you think.
22:08Is it?
22:09You cut corners to save money.
22:11Wires were installed improperly.
22:13Vacuum vibrates.
22:14Wires shake loose.
22:18Vacuum blows up in flames.
22:20Not complicated.
22:21All manufacturing demands that we balance costs.
22:24And no product is 100% safe.
22:26If you think otherwise, you're naive.
22:30Yeah, it's so childish of me to think that a home appliance shouldn't kill people.
22:39I've seen your type before.
22:41And I've seen yours.
22:42All that intellect.
22:44Wasted.
22:45And this chaos act that you put on that you pretend is a choice.
22:50It's all a cover.
22:51To hide that you can't apply yourself, even if you wanted to, because you lack self-discipline.
22:57It's the real reason you've accomplished nothing.
23:02And you never will.
23:03No one's died because of me.
23:12That's an accomplishment, I guess.
23:20Excuse me.
23:21Hi, everything okay?
23:30Everyone's fine, health and safety wise.
23:32But?
23:33But we're having some big feelings over here.
23:36Elliot is upset about the flowers.
23:38The flowers Reese sent me?
23:40Why?
23:40He doesn't even know Reese.
23:41It's not about who did send them, it's about who didn't.
23:44He's upset that they didn't come from me.
23:47I think the kid is still holding out hope that his mom and dad are going to get back together.
23:52He said that?
23:54It is many words.
23:55Well, what'd you say?
23:56I didn't say anything.
23:57I wanted to talk to you first and see what you told him.
24:00I mean, I told him both everything, but that was a long time ago, back when we split up.
24:04Right.
24:05Okay, listen, why don't you wait until I get home and then we can sit him down and we'll figure out what's going on.
24:10No, no, no, no, it's okay.
24:12We're in this together.
24:13I can talk to him.
24:14Okay.
24:15I know you'll know what to say.
24:17I'll let you know how it goes.
24:19Call me if you need me.
24:31Hey, Genius.
24:32Do you have any recent surgical scars?
24:35No.
24:36Why?
24:37Because she does.
24:39And she left her scar cream in your bathroom.
24:41Yeah, I noticed earlier that you had your hand around her waist.
24:44It's a little too intimate, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were the handsy type.
24:48But I also noticed that she's got a UV protective scarf.
24:52And I don't think she's worried about tan lines.
24:54I think she's trying to keep this scar from darkening.
24:59You're thinking thyroid surgery?
25:00I don't know.
25:01Tough to say.
25:02But what I'm more interested in is the fact that she's wearing a wedding ring.
25:04Did you bother telling the people who are trying to save your life that you're having an affair with a married woman?
25:10Why not?
25:11I didn't think it was relevant.
25:13Her husband is a feeble man and capable of action.
25:17The kind of guy who hires a hitman to do his dirty work.
25:23I'm impressed.
25:24Oh my God, you moron.
25:25Hey, what's this woman's name and who's her husband?
25:31Husband's name is Joel Dorskin.
25:3248, Beverly Hills CPA.
25:34As far as we can tell, a guy never stepped out of line in his life.
25:36Not even a speeding ticket.
25:38Literally.
25:38Which explains why Neumeier never even considered him an option.
25:41Well, that and Neumeier's arrogance.
25:43If this Dorskin is such a boy scout, why do we think he's our guy?
25:46Our detectives pulled surveillance video from an office supply store five blocks from the sperm.
25:50Same exact envelope the client used to pay Bellinger.
25:53Off that, we got the internet provider to play ball and help us identify the person who logged on to your website.
25:58Dorskin hired Bellinger.
25:59He's our guy.
26:00Where's Dorskin now?
26:01At his office.
26:02Detective Forrester is getting in front of a judge now.
26:03We should have a signed warrant in 10.
26:07Go get him.
26:19FBI, everyone, hands where we can see them.
26:22LAPD, we have a warrant for the arrest of Joel Dorskin.
26:26Where is Joel Dorskin?
26:33Dorskin, freeze!
26:46Joel Dorskin, you have the right to remain silent.
26:50Get up.
26:52Wait, wait.
26:54I didn't do anything wrong yet.
26:55I can still call it off.
26:57Wait, what?
26:58What can you call off?
26:59The hitman.
27:00He hasn't killed anybody yet.
27:01It's not too late.
27:03Tear it out.
27:04In here.
27:12Dorskin was in here putting together his next payment.
27:15He doesn't know his hitman's dead.
27:16So we have the guy who hired Bellinger.
27:19But he's not the one who killed him.
27:21Dorskin's not our guy.
27:37Or you just don't see it.
27:39Dorskin leaves a down payment at his dead drop, goes on the website, leaves instructions where to find it, and watches whoever comes to pick it up.
27:46You think that guy wanted to meet his killer?
27:49Nicky.
27:49Myron, not now.
27:50Dorskin made Bellinger for a fed.
27:53His own notes said he was tailing him.
27:55And now that we've seen him, I'd say that was posturing.
27:57Look, for what you're saying to work, Dorskin would have to have killed an FBI agent and kept 11 grand in cash lying around to throw on his desk so he could pretend he didn't know anything if he got caught?
28:09Makes sense to me.
28:11It's ridiculous.
28:14You know, at some point you could remind him he has his own office.
28:18What, and miss the show?
28:21I take it you've accepted that Dorskin's not the killer.
28:25I'm going over the case from square one.
28:26I'm looking for a new angle.
28:28Bellinger had a whole jacket before moving into murder for hire.
28:30He was embedded with drug traffickers, gun runners, maybe some guy from an old case decided to take him out.
28:37What did the carpet look like in Dorskin's office?
28:40Why do you ask?
28:41Well, because there's some orange fibers on the envelope that we found in Bellinger's truck.
28:46But the fibers aren't on this new envelope, just the one from the truck.
28:50The orange carpet was in Bellinger's motel room.
28:54Are you sure?
28:55Yeah.
28:57His hiding place was underneath the wardrobe against the floor.
28:59Those fibers got on everything.
29:01What?
29:03If he'd already stashed the money in his motel room, how'd it end up back in his truck?
29:08Maybe he brought it along to voucher it.
29:10No, his next check-in was tomorrow.
29:13He wouldn't have left that much cash sitting in his truck.
29:15Well, if he didn't leave it in there, that means someone else took it from the room and planted it in the truck.
29:19Because they wanted us to focus on the murder for hire case.
29:22And this note from Dorskin saying he was watching him?
29:25Dorskin didn't write that.
29:27Whoever planted the money must have.
29:28That's not good.
29:29That means whoever killed Bellinger knew a lot of things.
29:31They knew about the undercover op in the first place.
29:35They knew where to find him while he was working it.
29:38And they knew where he'd hide that envelope in his room.
29:41Which means?
29:41Which means our killer could be one of the FBI agents working the case.
29:48You two, pull everything you have on the Fed's work in the op.
29:51Personnel files, case histories.
29:53Are you in touch with your ex-partner?
29:55Ronnie's in D.C. right now, but I'll tell him they're going to reach out.
29:57If any of those agents had reason to kill Bellinger, we need to find out who.
30:01And everyone should be quiet.
30:02Can I come in?
30:18Your mom getting flowers from another guy kind of threw you for a loop, huh?
30:21You two aren't getting back together, are you?
30:30It's probably not in the cards.
30:32No.
30:33Why not?
30:34You still like each other.
30:35We do.
30:36We do.
30:36We like each other very much.
30:39And we still make a great team.
30:41All of us do.
30:42This whole family makes a great team.
30:44And that is never going to change.
30:47But your mother and I realized we didn't make a great couple.
30:53And nobody did anything wrong.
30:56We just move at very different speeds.
30:59And trying to be people we weren't, that it wasn't good for either of us.
31:07And we realized we work better as friends.
31:14I get that.
31:16You do.
31:19I want you guys to be happy.
31:23And I can handle it.
31:26Oh.
31:27Okay, great.
31:30You know, that's really mature.
31:32I try.
31:35Do you need a hug?
31:36I need one so bad.
31:39Come here.
31:41I love you, buddy.
31:42I love you.
31:44So who did the breaking up?
31:49You or mom?
31:54How's it going?
31:56Honestly, it feels gross investigating fellow officers.
32:00Yeah, I get that.
32:01Kind of hoping this angle doesn't pan out.
32:03Get ready to be disappointed.
32:19I think I just figured it out.
32:20What are you doing up so early, buddy?
32:32Check it out.
32:35Look at this.
32:36Working faucet, just like normal people.
32:38Dad and I fixed it together.
32:40Well, you're hired.
32:41And he showed me what was wrong.
32:43Whoever lived here before us connected two different types of metal and it corroded.
32:45So you got a science lesson crammed in there, too, huh?
32:49Yeah.
32:49Dad's a smart guy.
32:52I hear you guys had a talk about him and me.
32:56You okay?
32:57Yeah.
32:58I think I just needed to hear it.
33:00Yeah, that makes sense.
33:03And if something else pops up, which it will, we'll talk about that, too.
33:05Okay.
33:05Actually, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about.
33:12We're back to plumbing, aren't we?
33:13Yeah.
33:14Can I show you another thing Dad taught me?
33:16Absolutely.
33:16Okay, so fluid dynamics are actually really interesting.
33:18It's a whole subfield of physics.
33:22Wouldn't it be weird if I wanted to be a plumber?
33:27Absolutely not.
33:28You keep that big heart of yours and you can be whatever you want to be.
33:32Okay.
33:32Okay.
33:35Mr. Neumeyer, Detective Karadek, LAPD.
33:47You already know Ms. Guillory?
33:48What's up, Doug?
33:50I heard you arrested Gabriel Dorskin's husband.
33:53And he's the one who tried to have me killed.
33:54That is true.
33:55We're still connecting some of the dots, though.
33:56Just wanted to walk you through it.
33:58Then Ms. Guillory was right.
34:01She is unique.
34:02Well, we're keeping her around.
34:05Are you afraid of that vacuum?
34:13I thought you said it was safe.
34:15Don't worry, Mr. Neumeyer.
34:16No one's going to send you to prison for giving a vacuum cleaner a dirty look.
34:20Oh, that's silly.
34:21We couldn't do that if we wanted to.
34:22That's not even a thing.
34:23No, we're going to send you to prison for something else.
34:26You lied to me.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Police are allowed to do that.
34:38You can check.
34:40Sit somewhere.
34:40You can see the big screen.
34:41We wouldn't want you to strain your neck.
34:42Now, we think you were told about these.
34:49Agent Bellinger's surveillance shots of you from when he was posing as a hitman.
34:52But you must not have known all of the times that Bellinger was watching you.
34:56Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten this.
34:59These were on the memory card we found in Bellinger's motel room.
35:01To be more accurate, our techs restored them from the deleted photos on the card.
35:10I guess you didn't know Bellinger's every move either.
35:13Maybe because you're such a bad boss, your team didn't bother keeping you in the loop.
35:16You were in Neumeyer's pocket.
35:18He wanted someone on the inside to keep tabs on the investigation against him.
35:21And when he needed you to, you stole evidence to make sure the case would fall apart.
35:25These photos came out or Bellinger talked.
35:27You were looking at serious jail time.
35:28I never met Agent Bellinger, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for guys like him.
35:33And it's easy to imagine when he stumbled onto you two meeting,
35:36he did you the courtesy of giving you a chance to explain.
35:39And how did you repay that favor?
35:41Right.
35:42You broke into his motel room.
35:47And you deleted all of the photos of yourself off his memory card.
35:51And then you killed him.
35:58You know, the funny thing is, we never would have looked for deleted photos
36:08until Morgan noticed an old assignment in your personnel file.
36:15Uppsala, Sweden.
36:16Oh, so beautiful.
36:18You know, I hear the school there is the Oxford of Northern Europe.
36:22You were stationed there about ten years ago, tracking international hackers.
36:27Yeah, Neumeyer was there at the same time.
36:29That's how you two met.
36:30You've got this all wrong.
36:32I had no idea Agent Vincent killed the man.
36:36Yeah, I don't think that you're going to be able to convince a jury of that.
36:39Yeah, we found a series of bank transfers between you.
36:42Given the timing of the most recent payment,
36:45and the fact that it's a lot higher than all the others,
36:48it's pretty clear you were in on the decision.
36:51You're both under arrest for the murder of Agent Curtis Ballinger.
37:03What a shame.
37:06All that intellect.
37:08Wasted.
37:12I'm not afraid of anything at all.
37:33Not dying in a fire.
37:36Hey.
37:38Hey.
37:42You all right?
37:44I heard you got into it with Neumeyer yesterday.
37:47Does that surprise you?
37:50You just reminded me of someone.
37:53Your dad?
37:55You mentioned he was a piece of work, so...
37:57Still is.
38:01Superior, judgmental,
38:03thinks being smart's a baseball bat you beat people over the head with.
38:06Tells his kid.
38:10He's disappointed that she's wasting her gifts because she doesn't want to be like him.
38:15Morgan, you know that's ridiculous, right?
38:20Yeah.
38:20I guess I do, intellectually.
38:23Still doesn't feel good.
38:24Do you have any idea how valuable you are to us?
38:36Morgan,
38:37do you understand how many people you have helped since you've been here?
38:39That is the exact opposite of wasting your gifts.
38:41I know a couple people who disagree with you.
38:49I'm gonna give you a piece of advice.
38:53You need proof the world's a better place because you're in it.
38:55Go home, Morgan.
39:02See you tomorrow.
39:02You're welcome.
39:32We'll see you next time.
40:02We'll see you then.
