00:00I don't know.
00:52It is steamier than Idris Elba.
00:56This heat wave is no joke.
00:58You can't crank the air, Daddy?
00:59Nope.
01:00We've got to conserve energy.
01:01We could get more rolling blackouts.
01:05Look at you.
01:06You got an eight?
01:07No.
01:07Last minute work or something.
01:10Hey, Mama.
01:11Hey.
01:12What?
01:13What you doing here?
01:14Spur-of-the-moment thing.
01:15I don't buy it.
01:17What's wrong?
01:18What?
01:18Grandpa, I can't come and see you without you thinking there's a problem.
01:24Can I help you?
01:25Oh, Mom, this is Taylor.
01:27My friend from Berkeley I was telling you about.
01:29This is Taylor.
01:31I thought she was a girl.
01:32No.
01:33Sorry to disappoint, but I'm definitely all man.
01:39Mm-hmm.
01:41So what are you studying at Cal?
01:43Oh, no, I'm not in school.
01:45I just live near a campus for the vibes.
01:47I had a couple of days off from my classes, so I thought, why not take a road trip in
01:52his van?
01:52Slash house.
01:54Oh, you're one of those van life people.
01:57But before the drive, my mechanic gave my home a full tune-up.
02:00I had to make sure I got your precious cargo here safe.
02:03Mm-hmm.
02:03So you sleep in your van, huh?
02:06Well, that's good.
02:07Because you're not sleeping here.
02:10Mom, it's still so hot outside.
02:13Grandpa's house, Grandpa's rules.
02:15But be nice, Daddy.
02:18Walk me out.
02:22Isn't he great?
02:24Cute, charming, and the van?
02:27What's not to like?
02:31Lord, what is she thinking?
02:33This is silly.
02:34You have to work.
02:35No, no, no.
02:36The maitre d' said she could see this until 10.
02:38So let me just talk to Garza, see how long he needs me for.
02:41Fine.
02:42But only because I've been dying to wear this dress out.
02:44You look fantastic.
02:47No, we should say.
02:49Ooh.
02:50Hey.
02:51Garza said classy casual, but y'all two are showing out.
02:55Fine.
02:56They called in the lab techs, too?
02:58Oh, no.
02:58We were just about to, you know.
02:59Your first date, that's right.
03:01Yeah.
03:02You told her?
03:03Yeah.
03:03It's Simona.
03:04I tell her everything.
03:05Well, what?
03:05Now you got to cancel your plans?
03:07No, no, no.
03:07Just delay them.
03:08Do you know what we're here for?
03:09I was going to ask you the same thing.
03:11Let's go find out.
03:14Hey, what's up?
03:16Set up a profile on Clipmates.
03:18What?
03:19You're finally dipping your toes back into the dating pool?
03:22Good for you.
03:23Yeah, well, it's been a week.
03:24I haven't gotten a single message.
03:25That's statistically impossible.
03:27Dating apps have bots designed to bombard newcomers with attention so they feel welcomed.
03:31Here, let me see that.
03:33What am I doing wrong?
03:36Oh, so many things.
03:38Carter set up a Clipmates account?
03:40Who are you trying to attract?
03:42Women who are hot for serial killers?
03:44Give it back.
03:44It's not that bad.
03:46Hey, this team cleans up real nice.
03:48Thank you for coming in on such short notice.
03:50Our help is needed in an undercover op at the Luciana Hotel bar.
03:54Okay, well, what are our cover stories?
03:56We don't have any.
03:57Tonight will be stagehands.
03:59What's a stagehands?
04:01In order to control the environment on certain ops, we sometimes fill the target location
04:05with agents.
04:06And so this evening, we will all be posing as hotel guests, servers, and bartenders.
04:10Like extras in a movie.
04:11Yeah, super boring.
04:13And what we're getting paid to do, Laura.
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.
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?
04:32Antoinette, you could join us.
04:34You are an employee of the FBI, and this is a low-risk op, so I can make it happen
04:38if you'd like.
04:39Could be fun?
04:41Say yes.
04:42All right.
04:43Great.
04:44Yeah, great.
04:44Do I get a gun?
04:45Gun?
04:46No.
04:46No.
04:48But the Bureau is picking up the tab, so enjoy.
04:51Briefing in the sit room.
04:52Let's go.
04:58I'm Supervisory Special Agent Louis Cronin from the San Diego Field Office.
05:02I realize this is your house, but it's my op, so what I say goes.
05:07My cyber crimes unit has been monitoring dark web chatter.
05:10An 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.
05:24What kind of technology?
05:27Designs for a military satellite to contract submarines up to 200 meters below the ocean.
05:31If this tech gets into the hands of our foreign enemies, this could be catastrophic for our Navy, right?
05:35Which military contractor was the tech being stolen from?
05:38DOD uses several vendors to build different aspects of the satellite, which means we're not sure.
05:42So we know a whole lot of nothing.
05:44Yes, but what we do know is that our unsub reached out today and arranged a deal.
05:49Satellite tech in exchange for $2 million.
05:52Now, they said to put all the money in this specific modeling color Montclair briefcase
05:57and that they'd show up with a matching briefcase that's got the satellite tech inside.
06:01That exchange is set up for 10 p.m. tonight at the Luciana Hotel Bar.
06:05Any questions?
06:06One, are you sure you only want me to be a stagehand?
06:10Because I think I would be much better as Richie's hot side piece.
06:15You see it.
06:16Who are you?
06:16Simone Clark.
06:17And you work here?
06:18I'm a special agent.
06:19Then act like one.
06:21Do as you're told.
06:22Stay out of my team's way.
06:24Yes, sir.
06:26You're dismissed.
06:40Ah.
06:41Table for two, yes?
06:43Right this way.
06:44You got stuck being a waiter, huh, boss?
06:47No, I chose to be.
06:48Gives me free reign all over the restaurant.
06:50Now, remember, our unsub could probably already be here,
06:53so no sharp talking, no calling me boss.
06:56Have a good evening.
06:58Ooh, Carter, this lighting is fantastic.
07:01Give me your phone so I can get your glow-up photo.
07:03You're not going to stop until I give in, are you?
07:05I'm not.
07:18Richie's in position.
07:21And now we wait.
07:26My first undercover mission.
07:28This is so exciting.
07:30You not mad I brought you here?
07:32Mad?
07:32I feel like I'm in a genre of cachet movie.
07:35I've seen this side of you.
07:37What?
07:37My sexy spy son?
07:40Stick around.
07:42Okay, Carter.
07:43Less ax murderer, more leading me.
07:46Go.
07:47Well, yeah.
07:48Yeah, okay.
07:49That's a nice thirst trap photo, but I'm thinking the real issue is your bio.
07:53You got to play up to your strengths.
07:54And you got a cool job.
07:55I'm not going to put FBI agent on my profile.
07:58Why?
07:59Women love a man with a badge.
08:00Mm-hmm.
08:01Don't worry.
08:01I'll do it for you.
08:02Yeah?
08:03Yeah.
08:03Are your two classic mocktails?
08:07Oh, excuse me.
08:11I just got an alert from L.A. Clear.
08:13And?
08:14There was a murder in a parking garage at Aerospace Relativity.
08:17That'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.
08:26He's got the correct security clearance.
08:27That cannot be a coincidence.
08:29Did they find the tech on him?
08:30No, the car was empty.
08:32All right.
08:32I'll send agents down there.
08:34Copy that.
08:36Will there be anything else for you?
08:37No.
08:38Is everything okay?
08:39We're fine.
08:42So, but you're supposed to sit here and make small talk?
08:45Seems odd considering the circumstances.
08:48You know, before I was an actor, I was an extra on some kid shows.
08:52And to make the time pass, I would create these elaborate backstories.
08:57I wasn't just sitting on a bench.
08:59I was sitting on a bench, waiting for my brother, who stole my inheritance and my girlfriend.
09:06I was plotting my revenge.
09:09Sounds like fun.
09:11Yeah.
09:12So, who am I?
09:15You are Madame Debussy, the hottie owner of a rival hotel who's here scouting the competition.
09:26Hottie?
09:27Yeah.
09:27Hottie.
09:28I like that.
09:30And you're Gustave, the fiery chef de cuisine I've been trying to coach.
09:37Once well, madame.
09:57Your phone has been blowing up, Carter.
10:00Mm-hmm.
10:00Let us see those new profile matches.
10:02Come on.
10:03You wouldn't have any if it weren't for us.
10:05All right, but you're not allowed the message back.
10:08Oh, too thirsty.
10:11She has dead eyes.
10:12A little bit.
10:12Oh, she can hang for a night.
10:16Mm-hmm.
10:18She wrote back, arrest me, daddy.
10:21Yes.
10:22I'm not dating this woman.
10:23Why not?
10:24Oh, come on, Carter.
10:25We all know you've used cuffs before.
10:26Oh, Laura is free here?
10:41Our run sub has landed.
10:44Rest team, stand by.
10:59False alarm. Stand down. I repeat, false alarm. Stand down.
11:09Seven minutes past the schedule of meat. What do we got?
11:12Agents just finished searching Spencer Gordon's apartment and his personal computer.
11:15And? The dark web account we've been talking with belonged to him.
11:18That means your seller is dead. Someone got to him first.
11:21And that the tech is out in the open. Damn it.
11:24All right, kill it. There's no point sitting around waiting for a dead man to show up.
11:28Copy that. We're going to wrap things up. Looks like a guy's not going to show.
11:33You sure about that?
11:37We're running these here. Positive ID on the briefcase.
11:40Maybe Spencer had a partner.
11:42Yeah. Or maybe it's his killer. Or someone else. Or maybe both.
11:53Open it.
11:58Is this a joke?
12:00I don't know. Is it?
12:02You know what? I've had enough of this. Take him.
12:04No, no, no, no, no. We take him now. We got nothing. Let's follow him. See where it leads.
12:08Not your call, man. Arrest team. Take him.
12:18Get in there.
12:20FBI. You'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
12:29briefcase.
12:30He's just a patsy.
12:32You've just been made.
12:34Damn.
12:45We are taking over the case from Cronin.
12:47He doesn't look too happy about it.
12:49Yeah, well, HQ is pissed that he pulled the trigger too soon. So, what do we got?
12:52Curious story checks out he was hired off an app to roleplay the deal. Thought it was a practical joke
12:57or something.
12:57So they used him as bait to suss out whether there was law enforcement in here, huh?
13:00And we fell for it.
13:01Yeah, well, can we track him at least on the app?
13:04Cybercrime said there's no way.
13:05This guy's clever. Probably tech savvy. Somehow he figured out that Spencer Gordon was going to steal the satellite R
13:11&D and sell it.
13:12So 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 have eventually come out of hiding
13:20to make the exchange.
13:22Damn. We were so close.
13:24Well, what's done is done, okay?
13:26Now, we got work to do.
13:27Carter, you and Simone head over to the scene of Spencer Gordon's murder. See what you can find.
13:33Let's check the specs on this bin camera. See if there's a serial number or something. Get it to the
13:38lab immediately.
13:39You know, boss, I sort of have a lab right here.
13:42Okay.
13:43Did you have gloves in your purse?
13:45I'm always prepared.
13:52I've seen this type of spy cam before. There won't be a serial number on it, so tracing it will
13:57be a challenge, but it's short range, about 50 meters.
14:0150 meters? That means that R&D was inside the hotel. Okay, Brendan, get your hands on all hotel security
14:06footage and find out who was watching us.
14:08Okay.
14:09Oddest first date ever?
14:11Sorry.
14:14Just meet me in the security office.
14:19Oh, boy.
14:21Not how tonight was supposed to go.
14:23I know.
14:24Madame Debussy was supposed to seduce Gustave into a torrid affair in the kitchen.
14:30Gustave would have liked that.
14:32Madame ne partirai pas.
14:35Et elle a toujours le mec-gob.
14:52Cameras were disabled.
14:53The techs found no fingerprints or DNA.
14:55Our guy was meticulous.
14:56And vicious.
14:57What a way to go.
14:58Killer was lying in wait, choked him from behind.
15:01Obviously, it was something sharp.
15:03But look at the wounds.
15:04The ME thinks it was cheese wire, industrial strength, sharp.
15:08Cheese wire grot?
15:09That's specific.
15:11Let me run it through five, Cap.
15:14There were three homicides in the last two years that fit the MO.
15:18Oh, wait.
15:19And one attempted, Frank Patterson, he survived.
15:23Where is he now?
15:24In prison.
15:25Currently six months into a three-year sentence for armed robbery.
15:29Let's pay him a visit.
15:34How's it going?
15:35Wishing I hadn't picked up my phone.
15:37I was having such a good night until Garza called.
15:40Well, I do not want to hear any more complaints from you.
15:43At least your girlfriend is in the same time zone.
15:46Well, you and Atlas are trying the long-distance thing?
15:49Yeah.
15:50Phone sex isn't as good as IRL.
15:51I don't know what I was thinking bringing this up to you.
15:53No more talking.
15:54Please.
15:55Hmm.
15:58Well, are you sure?
16:00Why?
16:00You got something?
16:01Maybe.
16:02The hat and the camera angle.
16:04You can't do facial recognition.
16:06Hmm.
16:07Oh, hold on.
16:09Yeah, that's a tattoo on his right hand, but I can't make out what it is, though.
16:14Paid using your credit card.
16:16Yep.
16:16Calling for a warrant.
16:19It's midnight.
16:21This better be good.
16:22Special Agents Hope and Clark, FBI.
16:24So it's not just the heat.
16:26I really am in hell.
16:28The man was murdered tonight.
16:29Unless you're saying I'm a suspect, why should I care?
16:33We think the same person tried to kill you.
16:37Look familiar?
16:42If you arrest that bastard, do me a favor.
16:45Lock him up in here.
16:48I'll take care of the rest.
16:49That's not going to happen, but you can help us catch the guy.
16:53I'm not trying to wear a snitch jacket even for this guy.
16:56I just want to do my time and go back home.
16:59To your family in Florida?
17:00Because if you help us, we can secure a transfer to a facility in state.
17:05I'm listening.
17:06You're doing time for jewelry theft, but they never recovered the pieces.
17:10Did you have an accomplice, someone who double-crossed you?
17:12I'm good.
17:14Didn't need nobody else.
17:16And that job?
17:18It was flawless.
17:20It was in and out in five minutes.
17:22But when I got in the car, someone was in back.
17:25Got a few licks in before I blacked out.
17:28Never saw the bastard's face.
17:30When I woke up, I was cuffed in a hospital bed.
17:34Couldn't talk for weeks.
17:35Do you have any idea who did this?
17:38I never tell anybody anything about my scores.
17:41Who was the fence you were going to?
17:42They had to know.
17:43I didn't give them any details.
17:45I was careful.
17:46Worked alone.
17:47Then that snake snatches it all away.
17:50Not a snake.
17:51A remora.
17:52A what?
17:53A remora.
17:54It's also called a suckerfish.
17:55They survive by suctioning onto a host animal like a shark,
17:59or a whale,
18:00then feed off its scraps from its kills.
18:02So this guy lets a criminal do all the work,
18:05then kills him and takes the spoils.
18:09Hey, boss.
18:10Yeah?
18:11Our suspect was watching us from the hotel lobby.
18:13Surveillance video caught him using a credit card
18:15to buy coffee and a dessert.
18:17Okay.
18:17That got us a name?
18:18No.
18:19He was smart.
18:19He used a prepaid credit card,
18:20but he also used it to rent a share B&B in Echo Park.
18:23Ah, so not so smart after all.
18:25Grab Carter and Simone.
18:26Check it out.
18:26All right.
18:27Let's go.
18:33FBI, stop!
18:35Head inside.
18:36We'll turn them off.
18:39Hey!
18:40FBI!
18:55Hey, boss.
18:56You okay?
18:57I got you, boss.
18:58What happened?
18:59You okay?
19:00Yeah.
19:02I think so.
19:03He got away, but we got his phone.
19:05Come on, tell me what you want.
19:11I can't believe I got sucker punched like that.
19:13It could have happened to any of us, Carter.
19:15But it happened to me.
19:16I know what would cheer you up.
19:17Let's check your dating profile.
19:19You know, maybe your man babe caught some new fish.
19:24You got 35 new messages.
19:27This is all so superficial.
19:28So what?
19:29They like my profile.
19:29What does that really mean?
19:30It means you go out with some lovely ladies and see how it goes.
19:34I don't remember dating being this complicated.
19:36I actually don't remember dating at all because I was married for so long.
19:39I don't know, Simone.
19:40I'm an analog dater in the digital world.
19:42Maybe it's just easier if I die alone.
19:45How much blood did you lose?
19:47Because you're talking crazy.
19:48Agent Hope, it is you.
19:51Fortune.
19:51Hey.
19:52I didn't know you worked here.
19:53Sorry for the delay, but we are at capacity tonight.
19:57Heat-related illnesses, accidents from downed power.
20:00The city goes nuts when the temperature spikes.
20:02Uh, hi.
20:03I'm Simone.
20:04How do you two know each other?
20:07We've crossed paths a few times.
20:09Tell the truth.
20:11He arrested my mother a while back.
20:13Jasmine from Ventura County Jail.
20:15I remember her feisty.
20:18To say the least.
20:21So the doctor said you're good to go.
20:23I'm just going to re-wrap this.
20:25Promise to be gentle.
20:27Don't worry.
20:28I can take it.
20:32Hey.
20:33Daddy, why are you up so late?
20:35What's going on?
20:36I'm guarding the front door to keep Billy from sneaking out to that boy's van of iniquity.
20:43Billy is an adult.
20:45And she needs to make all the mistakes that will turn her into the woman she's meant to be.
20:50What kind of mother did I raise you to be?
20:52A smart one.
20:53I learned from the best.
20:55And I'm doing the opposite of what you and mama did with me.
20:58Now, what's that supposed to mean?
21:00Y'all gave me the blues about everybody I brought home.
21:03And that only made me like him even more.
21:06The teenage brain is naturally rebellious.
21:09It cannot be reasoned with.
21:11It requires reverse psychology.
21:14I get it.
21:15So we're supposed to pretend that we like him so that she'll stop liking you.
21:20Yes, that's how we're going to get rid of him.
21:23He's a loser.
21:24Now, hold on.
21:24He's not a loser.
21:26He's just a young man finding himself.
21:29But he's trying to date my granddaughter, which means he's got to go.
21:35And he will.
21:37Trust me, Daddy.
21:38Now, get some sleep.
21:42Oh, no top teaming could be tickling.
21:44Well, you're touched so soft, how could I not be?
21:47Uh, should I step back out?
21:50I'm all done.
21:52And I am as good as new.
21:54Boom.
21:56I've got to run.
21:57But if you need anything, anything at all, find me.
22:01Nice seeing you again, if you know.
22:03You too.
22:03And call me, Cardi.
22:08So I guess we can delete that dating app.
22:12I don't follow.
22:13If she threw it at you any harder, you'd have a concussion.
22:17That girl is into you, Mr. Analog Dater.
22:20What, can't she just be a kind-hearted health care worker without you making it all dirty?
22:25Hell no.
22:27She like you.
22:28Come on.
22:31How's the arm?
22:32Fine.
22:33How's the case?
22:33Don't ask.
22:34Cronin went tattletailing to the AD.
22:36He said we lost this guy because I didn't call SWAT in for backup.
22:40He just wants the case back for himself.
22:41I'm sorry, man.
22:42Don't be.
22:43It was my call.
22:44Well, it's still our case, so let's work it.
22:47What did we miss?
22:48He used a fake name to set up a Share B&B account, but we have no forensic evidence.
22:52It's just a partial palm print.
22:54We're not closer to a positive ID.
22:56We know more about his victims than we do about him.
22:59All four are known criminals, accomplished thieves, diamond theft, high-end cars, pricey
23:04artwork.
23:04Exactly.
23:05He preys on his own kind, just like a remora.
23:08Uh-uh.
23:08Stop trying to make remora happen.
23:10It's not gonna.
23:11It's a fitting name for an unsub.
23:13It totally fits his M.O.
23:14The metaphor doesn't even make sense, Carter.
23:17A remora doesn't kill his host animal.
23:19It just eats its leftovers.
23:21Well, it's actually scientifically proven that remoras feed on their host's feces, not
23:24their kills.
23:25You hear that?
23:26So, 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,
23:36which won't be at least until the morning at the very earliest.
23:39So, for right now, everyone just go home.
23:41Get a few hours rest.
23:42Go.
23:43Don't.
23:44No.
23:44Simone, you're missing my point.
23:46No.
23:52Oh, you back to work already?
23:55Big case.
23:56I got to.
23:57What about the case of the man in the van?
24:00Follow Molly.
24:01Good morning, beautiful family.
24:03Hey.
24:04Where is that cute boyfriend of yours?
24:07He's in his van, where Grandpa told him he had to stay.
24:09But it's good, because he usually sleeps till about noon anyways.
24:12Can't be mad at a man who gets his beauty rest.
24:17Oh, and I've been thinking, you know, about this hashtag van life.
24:22He should be commended for being eco-friendly.
24:25You want some coffee, Daddy?
24:26Plus, just think of all the money he's saving living in his van.
24:30You know, on bills, real responsibility.
24:34You know, I think he just might be the one.
24:37Oh, I get it.
24:39You two hate him.
24:40No, it's not like that.
24:41Do you see a free spirit living out of a van?
24:43I see someone who was there for me this semester while I was struggling emotionally.
24:47He loves me and supports me, and he makes me so happy.
24:52That's still not good enough.
24:53I am happy Taylor has been there for you.
24:56Honestly, I am, but come on.
24:59I mean, the boy has nothing going on with his life.
25:01How would you even know?
25:02You've barely spoken to him.
25:04You know, Mom, when you were a guidance counselor, you saw the best in everyone.
25:08Now you're fed, and you only see the worst.
25:11That is not true.
25:12Daddy, that's not true, right?
25:15It's not.
25:16No, it's not true.
25:18Well, it's not false, either.
25:21Look, your mother just wants what's best.
25:23Same.
25:24And you know, right now, me being here is upsetting, so I think I'm going to leave.
25:28Okay, now you overreacted.
25:30I love you, Mom, but right now, I just can't.
25:35Daddy, do you hear sound coming out of my mouth?
25:38Because it seems to me like a little girl whose entire life I'm financing is forgetting who
25:44she is and how things go up and through here.
25:47You know, I just need to clear my head.
25:49Good, do it.
25:50And we'll talk about this when I get home.
25:53Yeah, I won't be here.
25:55Billy.
26:09Have I changed?
26:11What?
26:11Remember how I was in the academy on the first day?
26:15Am I the same person?
26:16No, you're better.
26:18No, I'm serious.
26:19Since being in law enforcement, I'm hunting serial killers, going to crime scenes, interrogating
26:25folks, and I think it's made me more judgmental, biased even.
26:30That's not who I am.
26:31Listen, I feel the same way too sometimes.
26:34Sure.
26:35We can't let this job change us, B.
26:37We got to hold each other accountable, just like we did at Quantico.
26:46Did we get anything on the burner sale?
26:48Yeah, 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.
26:53Russia wanted to happen to phone call China a little less.
26:56Looks like they were trying to offload the tech to one of them.
26:58Yeah, but if you want to do real business with a foreign power, you contact the embassy
27:01in D.C., not the consulate here in Los Angeles.
27:04Maybe that's why the phone calls are so short, right?
27:06I mean, what, are they calling and asking to get transferred to the espionage office?
27:10Well, it does prove that the unsub has the goods.
27:12He just doesn't know how to go about selling them.
27:14The remorse used to piggybacking on other criminals' plans, not creating his own.
27:18You called him the remorse?
27:20What about this third caller, Rebecca Laramie, R&D manager, Sonic Speed Industries?
27:26What's that?
27:27Sonic Speed Industries, that's Aerospace Relativity's largest competitor.
27:31He's trying to sell to their rival.
27:33Smart.
27:34Well, the call lasted over seven minutes.
27:37That's more than enough time to make a deal.
27:39Absolutely.
27:40Let's get her in here, right now.
27:41Yeah.
27:42Wait, so this guy was for real?
27:43Yes, Ms. Laramie, he was.
27:45Okay, so it wasn't Todd in accounting pranking.
27:47Oh, come on, you were on the phone with him for seven minutes.
27:49I, look, it's spreadsheets all day.
27:50This was the highlight of my morning.
27:52Okay, did the caller try and sell you top-secret satellite info from Aerospace Relativity?
27:56If I knew this was real, I would have taken him up on it.
27:59Would have got me a big promotion.
28:00And a prison sentence.
28:02This isn't a joke.
28:03This is espionage.
28:05Wait, am I in trouble?
28:06We need you to tell us everything he said to you.
28:09Oh, well, you can listen to the call yourself.
28:11The company records all our calls.
28:13What I have to show you is worth your time.
28:15How about we meet in two hours at Angel's Gate in San Pedro?
28:18Ms. Laramie didn't agree to the meeting, but Simone has a theory.
28:21My grandmother grew up in San Pedro.
28:23Fort MacArthur Battery Barlow is an old bunker there.
28:27It has graffiti all over it.
28:28It's actually pretty cool.
28:29And I'm interested why, Simone?
28:31Because he called it Angel's Gate, and only locals call it that.
28:35So it got me thinking maybe he grew up around there.
28:37It's pretty thin, but it's what we got, so what do we know?
28:40Most criminals don't start out as murderers.
28:42They usually build themselves up one felony at a time, so chances are Unsub has a criminal record.
28:46Well, let's take a look.
28:48Male, black.
28:51You said 25 to 30?
28:53Make it 35.
28:54Oh, and don't forget that the hotel surveillance showed that he has a tattoo on his right hand.
28:57Okay, now, any former or current address in San Pedro, California.
29:05Okay, five possibles.
29:07Carter, you were up close and personal with this guy.
29:09Is he in there?
29:15That's him.
29:16Yeah?
29:18Trevor Bask.
29:19He did time for breaking and entering, got out two years ago, fits the profile.
29:22Put out a bolo, check aliases, and contact all known associates.
29:25We are close, team.
29:29Hey.
29:30Yes?
29:32If that's not how you greeted everyone, a guy might think he did something wrong.
29:36Interrupting my workflow may or may not fall into that category.
29:39Well, it might be for a good reason.
29:41I'd like to reset our first date.
29:44What did you have in mind?
29:46Well, tonight, I was thinking maybe we could do Spanish food at La Fonda, followed by a romantic
29:54starlit stroll at the observatory, maybe some dancing at the Warwick.
29:58Ambitious.
29:59Yeah.
30:00And impressive.
30:02I'm very much on board.
30:03Great.
30:04But isn't it a gamble with an active case and your unpredictable hours?
30:09Maybe, but I bet on us.
30:12Okay.
30:13Then I'm in.
30:16Okay.
30:16We got a facial recognition hit on Trevor Bask from a traffic cam.
30:20Let's move.
30:21Yeah.
30:21Uh, I'll see you tonight.
30:23Okay.
30:36Hey, buddy.
30:38Pete.
30:39Been a while?
30:40Yeah.
30:41I appreciate you doing this so last minute.
30:43No.
30:44No problem.
30:46Why the urgency?
30:47I got a lot of heat on me, man.
30:49I got to get out of the country.
30:50But I'm not trying to go in empty pockets.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Well, it's a good thing I brought this then, huh?
30:57Yeah.
30:58Yeah, just one question first.
31:02Were you the one who killed that engineer?
31:06Strung a wire around his neck?
31:28LAPD canvassed the area, man fitting Trevor's description went inside about ten minutes ago,
31:32and he was carrying the messenger bag.
31:33He's going to try to sell the plans.
31:35Let's move.
31:56No one's here.
31:57Couldn't have gone far.
31:59Simone, what is it?
32:01Found him.
32:14So Trevor set up a deal to sell the satellite R&D, but got double-crossed by the buyer
32:18who killed him and took the tech.
32:20Don't say it.
32:21What?
32:22That the Remora got Remora'd.
32:24I wasn't going to, but it's true.
32:26And 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.
32:36No, gunshot was meant to immobilize Trevor, not kill him.
32:39The unsub wanted to take his time, kill him slowly.
32:42This murder was purposeful.
32:44So, he shoots him in the stomach, that way he can't fight back.
32:47He fishes around, finds Trevor's own weapon of choice.
32:51Finishes him off with that.
32:53It's cold.
32:54This was about more than stealing the satellite tech, wasn't it?
32:59Yeah, it's personal.
33:00Trevor and this new unsub have a history.
33:02And that's the way we're going to ID whoever did this.
33:05We're going to have to tear Trevor's life apart and figure out who had the most hate on for him.
33:10Let's just hope we can before they sell the tech.
33:12Come on.
33:13Yeah.
33:16I think I got something.
33:18I did a deep dive on Trevor Bask.
33:20Take a look at his known associates.
33:21All right, which one?
33:23Peter McCord, his sellmate?
33:24That'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?
33:38I know why.
33:39And McCord's list of known associates is Jared Mackey, who stole a shipment of rare metals,
33:46and Fernando Pierce, who pulled a heist at MoMA.
33:49Those names sound familiar?
33:50Both were grotted after they pulled their jobs.
33:52And McCord was their fence?
33:54Looks that way.
33:55So, tell me if this makes sense.
33:57After sharing a prison cell and figuring out what McCord does, Trevor gets an idea.
34:02All 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.
34:18But if he was screwing over McCord, why would he have him fenced his stolen secrets?
34:21Because Trevor got cocky and figured McCord wasn't onto his scheme.
34:25And 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.
34:34McCord 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.
34:45One residence, six businesses.
34:47So, Laura, Brendan, why don't you take the home in K-Town?
34:50Carter 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.
35:00That's him.
35:02He's here.
35:03We're pressing backup.
35:04Copy.
35:05He's sending LAPD units to you now.
35:07Secure the bag.
35:09I'm going to let my word out.
35:13I'm going to let my word out.
35:14I'm going to let my word out.
35:16I'm going to let my word out.
35:16I live like this and I don't waste time because you can't make that back.
35:20I'm going to let my word out.
35:23I'm going to let my word out.
35:25I'm going to let my word out.
35:27Simone, he's running towards you.
35:29The top of my class, the head of my game, you can't fade.
36:01You okay?
36:02I'm fine.
36:06Man, it's a couple of pop stitches.
36:08One in custody.
36:09Cinematic.
36:10The tech?
36:12Got it.
36:19I just got off the phone with the DoD.
36:22They are quite pleased their satellite tech is safe and are planning to implement new security protocols.
36:27Which I'm sure won't be a waste of taxpayer dollars.
36:30Well, there is an upside to frivolous government spending, you know.
36:33Brendan?
36:34Yeah?
36:34Are you not interested in what will surely be my pithy comments on the military-industrial complex?
36:39Uh, can I be interested tomorrow? I 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. This is a do-over. Do you mind, boss?
36:50Come on, Matt.
36:51Good night, Brendan.
36:52Great, thank you.
36:55Is Carter still in the hospital?
36:56Yeah, he's getting re-stitched. And if he doesn't blow it, he's gonna be getting something else, if you know
37:02what I mean.
37:05Asked for 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.
37:18Uh, you always work nights?
37:22Yep.
37:24Every night?
37:25Four on, three off.
37:27Mm.
37:27Quick stink.
37:29Mm-hmm.
37:33Uh, would you ever, I mean, if, if you're available or not, because I know you're busy, uh, but, um,
37:41would you want to-
37:43ask me out?
37:45Not very well.
37:46Mm-hmm.
37:47I haven't done this in almost 20 years.
37:49You're just out of practice.
37:52Try again.
37:55Fortune.
37:57Would you like to go on a date with me?
38:01I would.
38:04What?
38:09Finally, I thought you were going to choose your job over me, again.
38:13This 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.
38:27I'll be waiting.
38:30Brush job.
38:32Evidence.
38:32Homicide.
38:34Looks like a proper first date we'll have to wait.
38:36I'm so sorry.
38:37Right.
38:38I'll see you tomorrow.
38:40Absolutely.
38:51I'll see you tomorrow.
38:52Madame Deboucher,
38:55you've been looking for me to work in the kitchen,
38:58so now,
38:59the role is reversed.
39:01I'm going to look for you to work.
39:05Oh, Gustave.
39:07You can't call me for the work.
39:10You haven't even finished preparing the saumon
39:14or the papillote.
39:15You should have it in a moment.
39:18Wait, seriously?
39:20You can cook salmon on papillote?
39:22Uh, hell no.
39:23But I know how to order it.
39:29Hey.
39:30Hey.
39:32Did the rest of your day go any better?
39:35Professionally?
39:35Yeah.
39:36Personally?
39:37You already know the answer to that.
39:39I called Billy.
39:41For two hours, I tried to convince her to have that boy turn that house van around so that
39:46y'all could work things out.
39:50I'm for trying, Daddy, but I'm going to go call him myself.
39:53You don't have to.
39:59Okay, now, as a guy who spent eight years away from the people he loves, I'm not with that
40:06stomp out angry and not speaking thing.
40:10Not in this family.
40:12We can disagree and need space, but we don't stop talking.
40:18So, talk.
40:22Thank you, Daddy.
40:25And thank you for coming back.
40:27I don't have a lot of time.
40:29Taylor's putting gas in the van and I gotta get back to school.
40:32Okay, well then, let me make it quick.
40:34You were right.
40:35I judged Taylor before I had a chance to get to know him.
40:38He's a great guy.
40:40And I'm looking forward to getting to know that for myself.
40:43But if he ever treats you badly, you know who to call.
40:47Yeah.
40:49Grandpa, you can be a little too much sometimes.
40:53And I want to apologize for my attitude earlier.
40:58I was out of line.
40:59Well, that's okay.
41:01I talk it up to you being around them Berkeley kids a little too long.
41:05But I'm glad you realized.
41:08I want to say sorry for saying you changed when you haven't.
41:13No, I have changed.
41:15But I'm working on it.
41:17And you've changed too.
41:18You don't need my input in your life anymore.
41:21Sure I do.
41:22Just only when I ask for it.
41:26Okay, you got it.
41:28Promise.
41:30Oh.
41:32It's Taylor.
41:34He's out back.
41:35I love you.
41:36I love you too.
41:40Hey, don't forget to call when you get there.
41:44Does parenting ever get easier, Daddy?
41:49You want the truth?
41:52Or do you want me to just be a father and make you feel better?
41:56To feel better, Owen.
41:58Hung out to dry
42:01In the wind and the rain
42:05Where your soul is longing
42:08While your ship drips away
42:12You want you to be a figured me?
42:14You're days to get there.
42:14You're days to get there.
42:17You're days to death.
42:18No, I don't want you to walk tomorrow.
