01:08started using his skills to take care of things that needed taking care of and today was the day
01:15that he would use those skills to take care of something much bigger than himself today was the

05:31take it
05:32it's for the shooting range off 5th street
05:34oh I don't think that's a good idea
05:36well it's better than having him shoot paintballs 50 yards off FBI property
05:39take him for a little target practice cliff
05:41let him work out some aggression
05:43okay Doug

07:27Car bomb.
07:30That slug's dead.

07:33Everyone's evacuated.
07:34Sir, you can't go in there.
07:35My son's inside.
07:36Sir, we need everyone to clear the area.
07:38No, this is my office.
07:39You get the hell out of my way.

08:09Head down!
08:14Randolph!
08:14What's the source?
08:15Same from the car, sir.
08:16He probably had ammo in there.
08:17It's cooking off.
08:18Everyone!
08:18Hold your fire!
08:20There's ammo burning off in the car!
08:22There is no gunmen!
08:24There is no gunmen!
08:26Okay?
08:26Set up a 500-foot parameter.
08:28Franks!
08:29Radio the fire department!
08:30Strickland!
08:31Randolph!
08:32Dominguez!

08:50Dominguez!
08:50You in there?
08:51Uh, yeah.
08:52I'll be up in a minute.
08:53Did Gail find you?
08:54Yeah, she left a note.
08:57What's going on?
08:58Bomb squad lets us back in.
08:59Thirty minutes later, she got everybody and her mama knowing.
09:02Knowing what?
09:05Gibbs and Diane split up.
09:08Sounds like it's really gonna take this time.
09:13Anyhow, I just thought you should know so you don't accidentally say something dumb to them.
09:20Thanks.
09:21Hey, is Lala on here?
09:23Lala!
09:24What?
09:25Gibbs and Diane are ending their marriage, so don't say anything dumb.
09:29Coffee.
09:30Let's go, Randolph.
09:31What do we know?
09:31We got a bomb planted in Westmont's car.
09:33That's right, we do.
09:34So yeah, it's like, you know how I stayed up all night to finish the computer job so I could
09:36start the new computer job?
09:37It's kind of like my brain is just like this human computer just fueled by caffeine.
09:41And in other news, Doug Tangle confirmed cause of death was Westmont getting blown up by the bomb.
09:45I was gonna try to come down slow if you just poured it into the...
09:48Hey, Vera's notifying Westmont's wife.
09:53What?
09:54Nothing.
09:54We heard about you and Diane.
09:57Uh...
09:58We know it must have been hard to watch her walk out the door, but we're all here for you,
10:02man.
10:02Marriages end every second.
10:04One just ended right now in Cleveland, I'm sure.
10:08Let's go.
10:09What do we know?
10:10Did we hear from Woody?
10:12Yep.
10:12Bomb forensics should be ready shortly.
10:13A house made contact with Westmont's office.
10:15Told them we'd be stopping by to discuss timelines.
10:17Enemies.
10:18Guy's a lawyer, Randall.
10:19We should block out the whole damn day to talk ahead of me.
10:21Where are we for the investigation?
10:23Sir?
10:24If you don't mind me saying, your take charge performance after that bomb went off, I mean,
10:28that was awesome.
10:29It was like, uh...
10:30It was like Joe Average turns Commando Cliff.
10:33Dalton took Jason home to Shelly's.
10:35Until things calmed down, I'm keeping an agent posted there.
10:38Jason's pretty shaken up.
10:39And when you talked to Westmont, did he seem off?
10:41Can you say anything?
10:42No? Nothing?
10:43All right, let's find ourselves some leads then.
10:45Broby, you and Mia head to Westmont's office.
10:47You two got forensics.
10:51Can we stop for a soda on the way?
10:52I really think it's safer if I come down slowly.
10:58Holy hell.
10:59Yeah, that is a mammoth amount of caffeine, buddy.
11:02It's okay, don't worry about it.
11:04He's coming down slowly.
11:05You know what?
11:05Forget we brought it up.
11:06We have bigger things to discuss.
11:08Oh, should we start with this fax we got from Gail about Gibbs being back on the market
11:11or do you guys want to talk about bomb parts first?
11:13Gibbs being back on the bomb parts.
11:16Bomb parts for sure.
11:18Great.
11:20Okay.
11:20Just set this right over here and we can refer to it later.
11:27So the shots following the car bomb were definitely ammo cooking off from the heat.
11:34Yeah.
11:34Looks like Westmont had a couple boxes in his glove compartment along with this 9mm handgun.
11:38What about this?
11:39Is this it?
11:39This is the bomb thing?
11:40Yes, Randolph.
11:41You're looking at a brick of C4 and a detonator.
11:44A pretty simple bomb design.
11:45Well, detonator was a different story.
11:47Yes, the detonator was quite sophisticated, but I managed to piece it back together thanks
11:51to my undisputed mechanical prowess.
11:52You fixed the copier one time, Phillip, so go on.
11:56The detonator was not on a timer.
11:58It was wired to the car's ignition, but it was designed to go off on the second turn
12:03of the key.
12:04Mm-hmm.
12:05Key turn one, prime the bomb.
12:07Key turn two, wha-whoo.
12:10Bomb goes boom.
12:11So someone planted the bomb at one location and wanted it to go off at Westmont's next location.
12:16Wait, are you guys saying the bomber was targeting NIS?
12:19I think we are.
12:20We're just scientists.
12:21I mean, I just know how the bomb worked.
12:22You tell us, I guess.
12:24Mr. Westmont wasn't scheduled to be at NIS this morning.
12:27I'm sure of it.
12:28Can we see a schedule?
12:29Yes, sorry.
12:30I'm looking at the wrong one.
12:32That was Mr. Keller.
12:33This is Mr. Westmont.
12:34Sorry, I just can't believe what happened to him.
12:37It's okay.
12:38Take your time.
12:39Ashley, cancel my lunch, will you?
12:41Gentlemen, Carter Dodd.
12:44And our third partner, Perry Keller.
12:47Pleasure.
12:48You're with NIS?
12:49Sorry for your loss.
12:50I wouldn't believe it except the news just started reporting it.
12:53The talk was...
12:56It doesn't seem real.
12:57Excuse me, Agent Franks.
12:58I found Mr. Westmont's schedule.
13:00Hold on there, Ashley.
13:01What are you giving them?
13:01We need to know where Westmont should have been this morning.
13:04I'm afraid you'll need a court order.
13:06You're yanking my chain right now.
13:08Attorney-client privilege still applies even post-mortem.
13:11We're trying to find out who killed your damn partner and y'all are going to play lawyer games.
13:13The attorney-client privilege is sacred.
13:16Sacred, my ass.
13:17You want to know who killed him or not?
13:19Uh, pardon me?
13:22I have an amendment to discovery for Mr. Westmont.
13:25Uh, Monica.
13:27Uh...
13:28Doug was...
13:31He was killed this morning, ma'am.
13:35Oh, my God.
13:38Uh...
13:39What happened?
13:40You work here.
13:42You mind telling us where he was meant to be this morning?
13:45No, I'm...
13:45I'm with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
13:49But do you have a warrant for his schedule?
13:52Oh, y'all are unbelievable.
13:53Look, once you have a warrant, swing back around.
13:56We'll be more...
13:57Just give us the damn schedule.
13:58The A. Prude Appeal.
14:01His schedule says he was supposed to be working on the Prude Appeal this morning.
14:04I don't know where, but it was in NIS.
14:08You hear that, Broby?
14:10We got a barn full of asses.
14:11Now A. Prude's gotten in from pasture.
14:13You think Abe's involved in this?
14:14Hell, I wouldn't put it past him.
14:16I'm telling you.
14:17Them lawyers, they talk and they talk.
14:19Until one day, you wake up and they're stealing your ranch right out from under you.
14:22You mean your place in Texas?
14:24Yeah, my place.
14:25Whatever place.
14:25It don't matter.
14:27With that many bloodsuckers spinning the truth, including the dead guy,
14:30and you hadn't...
14:30Abe Pruitt, that bastard used to be a lawyer, too.
14:33Now he thinks he's some kind of compound god.
14:35You mark my words, Broby.
14:37With that many lawyers spinning,
14:39in the way in hell this case is ever getting solved.
14:49Who amongst us hasn't felt small?
14:53Who hasn't felt judged?
14:55Amen.
14:55That's right.
15:02Look at me.
15:03We are small.
15:05But that is only because there is something bigger.
15:08Something more powerful than the bars that imprison us.
15:12Look at me.
15:16I am free.
15:21How did it happen?
15:22Car bomb.
15:24At his home?
15:26His wife okay?
15:27Happened at our office.
15:30At Pendleton.
15:32Listen, Abe, I'd rather not BS you in the house of God.
15:35We know you got a thing for bombs, and the lawyer who couldn't get you out of here just got
15:38blown up by one.
15:41I had nothing to do with that movie theater bombing, and nothing to do with Stanley taking his own life.
15:46That's not why we're here.
15:48Agent Gibbs, let me tell you why I'm here.
15:50I'm here because you exposed me for bigamy.
15:54I'm here because I married Beth to get her health insurance for her chemotherapy.
15:57I did that, and I'm prepared to serve my time.
16:01I would do it again.
16:03Seems like you're making good use of your time in here.
16:07Replacing your flock?
16:08My people aren't being replaced.
16:11Wilson and Barnes kicked them off our land.
16:14So yes, they are scattered, but they can never be replaced.
16:19What we build will always be with us.
16:23Your brother felt the same.
16:26Spoke to Mason last week on the phone.
16:29He didn't tell you?
16:30Spoke to him, he said what?
16:37That I was sorry how things ended.
16:39That I was praying for him.
16:41And that I was trying to reach all my people to tell them as much.
16:45Mr. Pruitt, if you made peace with serving your time, why'd you file an appeal?
16:51I didn't.
16:53Westmount was scheduled to work on his argument for it this morning.
16:58The reporter.
16:59The what?
16:59A reporter came to see me a couple months ago.
17:02He was doing a story on the movie theater bombing and my conviction.
17:06Told me Westmount filed an appeal.
17:08I said he was mistaken, but...
17:11There were no grounds for an appeal.
17:13I told Westmount that.
17:16So why would he file anyway?
17:22Who's the reporter who came to see you?
17:25Reporter's name is Freddie Riles.
17:27Prison's record show.
17:28He visited Abe Pruitt three months ago.
17:30He confirmed with the Chronicle that Riles was writing a piece on the theater bombing.
17:32He likely made contact with Westmount while he was researching.
17:35Well, bring him in here then.
17:36We can't.
17:36He died of a heart attack last month.
17:38We're asking too many questions.
17:39Could have gotten himself killed.
17:40I went down that road two gigs, but then I did a little more digging.
17:42Riles had a heart condition since birth.
17:44Heart attack was legit.
17:45What about the article he wrote?
17:46He didn't finish it.
17:47Family says he left behind a huge amount of notes.
17:49But his family lawyered up.
17:50They want a court order before they hand over his writings.
17:52What are they lawyer up for?
17:54They said there's too many notes to go through, but I just think they got too scared of what
17:57might be in them.
17:58Last thing we need is another damn lawyer on this thing, Rando.
18:00I didn't tell him to get one.
18:02I ain't yelling at you.
18:03I'm yelling at the amount of true spinning bloodsuckers we got on this thing.
18:07Okay.
18:07Well, it just feels like a really high decibel just blasting in my face, and I just cut myself
18:12off from caffeine now, so I'm feeling a little lightheaded.
18:14Sit your ass down there.
18:16I'll get to work on the warrant.
18:17Don't bother.
18:18Wheeler's on it.
18:19Cliff?
18:19Yeah.
18:20He said he's gonna throw some weight around and get the warrant expedited.
18:23He's still riding high from that Commando Cliff performance after the bomb went off.
18:28Rando, do what you gotta do to get right.
18:30Proby, Dominguez, calling Westmont's wife.
18:32Let's see if she'll give us a list of enemies without a damn court order.
18:38Hey, boss, how was Pruitt when you talked to him?
18:40Gibbs said Westmont filed an appeal without him knowing.
18:43Silver State Ranch.
18:44Mason.
18:45Mikey.
18:46Damn, I was just about to call you.
18:47I saw on the news about Abe's lawyer.
18:49You know who done it?
18:50Listen, I went to see Abe.
18:52He said he talked to you on the phone.
18:54Yeah.
18:55He tracked me down through a lady that lived with us on the compound.
18:59He didn't want nothing.
19:00Just tell me he was sorry he couldn't save the land.
19:03He didn't say nothing else.
19:05Nothing about his lawyer.
19:07No.
19:08Honestly, Mikey, I know he told me all that bad stuff he'd done, but I don't know.
19:13When I talk to him, he doesn't seem like that kind of guy.
19:17Mikey?
19:19Listen, Mason, let's catch up later. I gotta run.
19:21Sure thing.
19:23Shelly, listen to me.
19:26Tell him that he is safe.
19:28That I am safe.
19:29The bomb was supposed to go off somewhere else.
19:33If you need anything, just call me and I will handle it.
19:38Okay.
19:40Jason is pretty shaken up.
19:43Well, I'm sure he is.
19:44But you sound like you're handling it.
19:46Just make sure you don't take things too far.
19:49What?
19:50The commando cliff routine was great outside.
19:53But now I've got a scared courier saying I gotta get eight million boxes off of his truck immediately
19:58because you were too pushy when you expedited that warrant.
20:00Are these the reporter's notes?
20:01You can say that right there.
20:02What are you putting him in here for?
20:04Because you requested it, Cliff.
20:07I swear, that bomb went off and now everything is out of whack.
20:12Do you know how things run smooth around here, Cliff?
20:15I intervene.
20:17Well, things happen so fast, when we got back in the building, I didn't have time to intervene.
20:21Now, Gail's got the whole office running around talking about gives his divorce.
20:26Randy is about to have the biggest caffeine crash out known to man.
20:30And you are walking around here with your chest puffed out so far.
20:34You're gonna tip over, Cliff.
20:35No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:37Get this stuff out of here.
20:39Have Vera and Kowalski go through it all with you.
20:43Wheeler.
20:44Wait.
20:45Shelly, no, no, no.
20:45Hold on.
20:46Calm down.
20:46I can't understand you.
20:48He did what?
20:50Okay, I'll handle it.
20:51I said I'll handle it.
20:54Jason snuck out.
20:55He's on the loose doing God knows what.
21:04My husband wasn't a perfect man.
21:07But he was a good one.
21:10Mrs. Westmont, can you think of anyone that would want to hurt your husband?
21:14Being a defense attorney.
21:17Doug always says making enemies is a part of the job description.
21:21You got any names?
21:22Sure.
21:24I...
21:24I can write them down if you'd like.
21:30Ma'am, do you know why your husband father appealed for Abe Pruitt when Abe didn't want one?
21:35No.
21:37But...
21:39What?
21:41He bought a gun recently.
21:44Joined a shooting range.
21:46He said it was for fun, but then he also said the guys who worked there were awful.
21:51I asked him why he kept going.
21:54He just changed his subject.
21:56You know which shooting range?
21:58It's called Oceanside Arms.
22:00You think Wheeler's gonna put a bolo up for his son?
22:04You good?
22:05Yeah, just a bit of a crash from the caffeine stoppage.
22:07But it was worth it to start that new computerized evidence log.
22:12Why am I even talking about this, dude?
22:14Your marriage is freaking over.
22:16Yeah, I'm fine.
22:18Let's discuss this after, promise?
22:20Oh, just so you know, Lala said, Westmont's wife said the guys that work here?
22:24Real jerks.
22:27All right, we told you what we know.
22:28Now get the hell out of here.
22:29Hey, listen, buddy.
22:30If we...
22:31Okay, guys.
22:32How about you run us through it again with a little less feeling and one at a time?
22:36Please.
22:38What, are we boring you?
22:39What the hell is wrong with you, man?
22:40Why would you open your mouth up that big in front of me?
22:43We told you, okay?
22:44Westmont was learning to shoot because he was being stalked.
22:47He was being tailed by a dude in a pinto.
22:49Yeah, some dude in a pinto was following him.
22:51The guy was bald.
22:52Dude telling him had no hair.
22:56Are you serious right now, dude?
22:59Sir, what are you doing here?
23:03Hey!
23:04Dumbass!
23:04You gotta check in!
23:06Hey, what the hell were you thinking, sneaking off and coming here?
23:09Dad, what are you...
23:09I had to pay off the taxi driver to tell me where he took you.
23:12Do you know how humiliating that is?
23:14I was just...
23:15You let a child into a shooting range without a legal guardian?
23:20Is Jason old enough to be here?
23:22I doubt it.
23:22He had cash and an ID.
23:24What?
23:25Oh, come on.
23:26Does that look like a 16-year-old to you?
23:28Are you blind?
23:29He must have stolen it from my wallet.
23:30You need to watch yourself.
23:32You're standing in my domain.
23:34You see my kid?
23:35He's my domain, and you do not want to test me today.
23:38Step off!
23:39Hey!
23:40Get...
23:43Okay, second wind.
23:45Here we go.
23:47Oh!
23:48Oh!
23:59For not leaving me hanging back there.
24:04Never seen you throw a punch.
24:06It was impressive.
24:09The way you took control this morning, too.
24:12Yeah.
24:13I've always been scrappy.
24:15When you start wearing a suit every day, people forget who you are.
24:18You forget who you are.
24:23Well...
24:24At least you got a description of the guy following Westmont and no broken bones.
24:29I would call that a win-win.
24:30Hmm.
24:32What are you gonna do with Jason?
24:34Nah.
24:35I put him in the conference room.
24:36Told him he's grounded for an open-ended period of time.
24:39Yeah.
24:41And then after that.
24:45I don't know.
24:46We're in this vicious cycle where things get better, and then they go back to being worse.
24:53Worst part about being a dad.
24:55When you don't know how to help him.
24:59Never goes away.
25:04Hey.
25:06I'm sorry to hear about you and Diane.
25:10Divorce is...
25:11complicated.
25:12For her and me, maybe not.
25:15She'll file the paperwork.
25:16I'll sign it.
25:19Are you two kidding me?
25:20You're gonna go out there on the clock and get into a brawl at a gun club?
25:25What the hell were you thinking?
25:27They started it.
25:28They started it.
25:28Cliff, you are busting heads in a suit, for God's sakes.
25:31They riled me up about Jason.
25:33Look.
25:34I know you're on the edge about Jason.
25:35And I know you've been feeling yourself since your Commando Cliff routine.
25:39But honey, we need you to represent this office properly.
25:45Now tell me you understand that.
25:48I understand that.
25:50Gibbs, are you going to represent the office properly, even though you all broken up about Diane?
25:56Yes, ma'am.
25:58Okay.
26:01I need your help on this.
26:04What does that say?
26:07Uh...
26:07Are these the reporter's notes?
26:09Yes. Horrible handwriting.
26:10We think this page is talking about Westmont.
26:13But we can't make hands or tails out of it.
26:15Vera and Kowalski have been staring at it for the last two hours.
26:19Uh...
26:19In the trash.
26:21That there are far too many octopuses.
26:25Is that right?
26:26Octopi.
26:27Octopi.
26:27Yeah.
26:28Never mind.
26:29Gibbs, I need you to tell Randy what I said about properly representing the office when he wakes up.
26:36And to force him to take a nap.
26:39The whole dang office is out of whack.
26:52You've always been my hero.
26:55I am.
26:57That's...
26:58That's not funny.
26:59You know I'm sensitive about heroics.
27:01Come on.
27:02Let's go.
27:03Time to get up.
27:04MJ says the caffeine should be fully cycled up.
27:06Yeah.
27:06I'm good.
27:06I don't need help.
27:07I got it.
27:08This is the car we're looking for.
27:09What?
27:10It's a car that was following Westmont.
27:111977.
27:12Four Pinto Cruising Wagon and Bright Rev.
27:14How do we know that?
27:15Because.
27:16The guy's from the shooting range.
27:17No.
27:17They just said it was a red Pinto.
27:18They didn't give us a model or anything.
27:20Yeah.
27:20But once y'all were done wailing on each other, I called them up.
27:22Got the details.
27:24We're dealing with all them lawyers.
27:25I found these guys to be very reasonable.
27:27And they gave you a picture of the car too?
27:29No.
27:29Clearly I just pulled this as a reference.
27:31You're one of Polsky's car in Driver Magazine.
27:33What's the matter, Randall?
27:33Your brain ain't working yet.
27:35Mary Jo said all the caffeine would be fully cycled out.
27:37No.
27:37I'm good.
27:38Look at me go.
27:40What else do we got?
27:41Description of the stalker, right?
27:42Guy in the Pinto was tall and bald.
27:43100% bald head.
27:45Six foot to six foot two white.
27:46Mid-forties.
27:47And Westmont figured he was hired by some disgruntled client.
27:50And the guys at the shooting range told you all this?
27:52They were very reasonable.
27:54Grando, call at the DMV.
27:55Get all the red Pinto registrations in the county.
27:58See if any of the drivers match our description.
27:59Copy.
28:00Dominguez, tell Probity quit licking his wounds with Wheeler and get his ass back up here.
28:06Where we at with those reporter's nose?
28:09Okay, I think I figured out it's W's.
28:11See how they all do this swoopy thing?
28:13Like a pair of boobs.
28:15Can I see?
28:18What?
28:18I just want to help.
28:20Yeah, I bet you do.
28:21How much writing can one man do?
28:23I'm getting carpal tunnel just looking at all this stuff.
28:25Maybe he had that thing.
28:27You know that thing?
28:28Where you can't stop writing?
28:29What's it called?
28:30It's called...
28:32Rick.
28:33Your name's Richard, right?
28:35What about it?
28:36Why would you have people call you Dick instead of Rick?
28:40It's kind of like you're asking for it.
28:41Okay.
28:42Your dad said sit here quietly, remember?
28:45The compulsive writing thing you're talking about is called hypergraphia.
28:49Edgar Allan Poe had it.
28:51Edgar Allan Poe was a Richard.
28:54Hey, look, kid.
28:56I know you had a rough day.
28:58But the only Richard in here is you.
29:01You want to help?
29:02Here.
29:04Have at it.
29:05And shut your damn trap.
29:08Hey, Mary Jo.
29:10You want to have a look here?
29:13You see what Vera was saying about the W's?
29:17Westmont's work on the Pruitt appeal does not match the time spent to billing.
29:28You just got to squint your eyes and let your brain fill it in.
29:32How the hell did you learn how to do that?
29:35The day before we take a test, my social studies teacher writes out the answer key,
29:39and she leaves it on her desk.
29:40So I taught myself to read her horrible handwriting,
29:42and I'm getting an A in the class.
29:47Please don't tell my dad.
29:49Here.
29:49Can you read this?
29:52Oh.
29:54She ensures favorable rulings for Westmont's clients.
30:02He pays her kickbacks in return.
30:07They meet doing trades.
30:11No, they meet during times.
30:14Bill to the Pruitt appeal.
30:18Westmont was colluding illegally.
30:20With who?
30:23Hey.
30:24With who, kid? Come on.
30:25Oh, uh...
30:30Someone named...
30:32AUSA?
30:33AUSA?
30:34You mean A-U-S-A?
30:36What does that stand for?
30:37Assistant U.S. Attorney.
30:40I'll call Franks.
30:45Monica Adams, N-I-S.
30:53Mrs. Adams, we spoke to you at Westmont's office this morning.
30:57We need to talk to you.
31:00Edit.
31:06Couch.
31:07Hands.
31:08Let me see your hands.
31:10Got her.
31:11Clear it.
31:20You're wine fill.
31:23Yes.
31:27Anyone else in here with you?
31:31My husband's away.
31:35Did you find out who killed Doug?
31:43Doug had an agreement.
31:45They were trading favors.
31:47What?
31:49No.
31:54We were having an affair.
31:59I loved him.
32:02I'm sorry.
32:04I should have told you earlier, but...
32:07I was scared.
32:09I knew it would end my career.
32:12My marriage.
32:15My life.
32:16So when Westmont scheduled time to work on the Pruitt of Peel, he was seeing you.
32:21Which means you were supposed to be with him this morning.
32:24Yes.
32:25He got called away for a meeting at N-I-S.
32:30I made up some excuse to go see him afterwards.
32:33That's when you told me what happened.
32:36Doug and I were supposed to be together when the bomb went off.
32:40We were supposed to have died again.
32:45Nobody would have done this.
32:46Doug was being followed.
32:48It was a red car.
32:52One night, Doug grabbed his gun to try and confront him, but...
32:57The car sped off so fast, the curb ripped the bumper off.
33:03It was a red car.
33:06Red car, red.
33:09Mrs. Adams, do you take anything tonight?
33:11Any medication?
33:13I'm sorry.
33:15Hey, hey, let me see your hand.
33:17Put your hands up.
33:19Stay back. Keep your hands up.
33:21Where I can see him, please.
33:25Oh, she took a bunch of pills.
33:27The curb, it took the pump.
33:30Oh, Jesus.
33:32Dammit, probably call it in.
33:33Yeah, I got it.
33:34Mrs. Adams, look at me. Look at me.
33:40Monica Adams is in the hospital. What do we know?
33:42Is she gonna make it?
33:43The bumper stomach said that we got her there just in time.
33:45She was another lawyer spinning the truth until we busted down her door, dragged it out of her.
33:49Dominguez, what do we know?
33:50Adams and Westmont weren't colluding.
33:52They were having an affair.
33:53She knew about the guy who was following him.
33:54She said that there was...
33:55The red pinto hit a curb, lost a bumper.
33:57Yeah, Mary Jo gave us the message.
33:58Well, you doing anything about it?
34:00Yes, Franks.
34:01And don't speak to me like that.
34:02I don't practice law.
34:03You're displacing your anger again.
34:06I apologize.
34:07Randy and I have been calling all the body shops in the area.
34:09We're looking to see if any of them have prepared a bumper on a red pinto for a guy matching
34:13our description.
34:14Nothing so far?
34:15Thanks.
34:17Waldo's auto body shop, baby.
34:19Owner is appropriately named Waldo.
34:21He replaced the front bumper on a bright red 77 Ford Pinto Cruisin' Wagon two weeks ago.
34:26Driver matches our description.
34:27Yep, white, 40s, bald as a mother.
34:30His name is Linus Eccles and Waldo gave us his frickin' home address.
34:33Let's go!
34:34I got my third wind.
34:35Giddy up!
34:40100 seconds!
34:41N-I-N!
34:44Son of a bitch!
34:46Clear! Let's go!
34:51Clear!
35:13Mr. Eccles!
35:15Show me your hands.
35:17God said you were coming.
35:19So I set them free.
35:20Hands!
35:21Show me your hands!
35:27We're all the couples!
35:28Stay down!
35:29Stay down!
35:30Give me your hands!
35:31Oh!
35:32Oh!
35:32Oh!
35:33Oh!
35:33Oh!
35:33Fly!
35:35Fly!
35:35Go free!
35:37Fly!
35:41Fly!
35:46We can get you some calamine lotion.
35:48After we're done talking.
35:50Did you all get stung?
35:52They didn't mean it.
35:57C-4 detonator parts of your apartment.
35:59They're matched to the bomb that killed Doug Westmont.
36:01You were following him, too.
36:02It'd be great if we could skip the part where we deny it, seeing it you, me, or we all
36:06three know you've done it.
36:09I followed Doug Westmont.
36:11I found out he was having an affair with Assistant U.S. Attorney Monica Adams.
36:16I built the bomb.
36:17I planted it in his car.
36:20She was supposed to be nearby when I went off.
36:24Why'd you do it?
36:25Westmont's clients.
36:27A lot of them went to prison.
36:28They didn't know that he was sleeping with the prosecutor.
36:33It was unfair.
36:35It needed to be brought into the light.
36:44What made you start following Westmont in the first place?
36:48The idea just came in my head, I guess.
36:51From God.
36:56You said you got yourself in here facing a murder charge.
37:00Because some folks you never even met were being done wrong.
37:04That's right.
37:21You think he's crazy or he's hiding something?
37:24Both.
37:24Boss.
37:25He say anything about Abe Pruitt?
37:28What?
37:28We looked into Eccles' record.
37:30He did a month for attempted pipe bombing.
37:31Same prison as Abe Pruitt?
37:33Yeah.
37:33Eccles was released two months ago.
37:35Warden said that he was a regular at Pruitt's chapel services.
37:42I think it happened like this.
37:44Abe Pruitt realized Westmont was up to something when that reporter asked about his appeal.
37:49Abe brainwashed Linus Eccles in his prison church and told him about a dirty lawyer named Westmont.
37:54When Eccles was released, he followed Westmont in his red pinto, found out about the affair, and reported it back
38:00to Abe.
38:01Abe told him to do the bombing, but Eccles refused to admit Abe was involved.
38:05So, the team tried to prove that after Eccles was released from prison, he made contact with Abe.
38:12No phone call from Eccles to Abe in prison.
38:14Nothing in the visitation logs either.
38:16We got no way to prove Abe was behind this.
38:20Told y'all, with this many lawyers spinning, this case ain't ever getting solved!
38:24There's no proof that Abe was behind all this, but he probably did it to expose the affair,
38:29because that could get a lot of mistrials declared.
38:32I wrote some other things down, but it's just more notes.
38:35Seems like you got pretty invested.
38:40After the bomb went off, I was scared.
38:46But then I saw how you were, and I'd never seen you like that before.
38:49It was like, everything I thought I knew, I didn't.
38:52So you snuck out to a shooting range?
38:54To see if I could be a good shot.
38:56To see if maybe I could be an agent someday, like you.
39:01Seems like all I've ever done is screw things up.
39:04But today I helped solve the case, and maybe I could turn into something good.
39:12Jason.
39:17You are something good.
39:19But we just can't keep going backwards.
39:22I won't.
39:23I have something now.
39:25I have something to go for.
39:26And I thought maybe I could do an internship here.
39:35Two months.
39:37You stay out of trouble for two months, and then we'll talk about it.
39:41Deal.
39:49A lot of people believe in something bigger than themselves.
39:54I always wanted to be like that.
39:56The kind of person that believes in something bigger.
40:02I thought you might be here.
40:06No, don't get up.
40:08For the bee stings.
40:11Ah.
40:12And for everything else.
40:14Ah.
40:18Thanks.
40:20What you writing?
40:22Frank's inspired a new rule.
40:29Rule number 13, never involve a lawyer.
40:34After all this, it should be never, ever involve a lawyer.
40:41Maybe I'll rewrite it later.
40:45I figured you usually talk to Diane after a day like this.
40:50I completely bought that you were fine all day, by the way.
40:54I am.
40:56I think I can see myself living alone.
41:01Big house with a fireplace.
41:04Basement, maybe.
41:06Focus on work, build a few boats.
41:11I think that'd be enough.
41:15You're just gonna go cold turkey on relationships then, huh?
41:20Well, I don't think I can do it again.
41:24So I think I'm done.
41:29I'm done.
41:31I'm done.
41:31The colors of the rainbow.
41:34So pretty in the sky.
41:37Are also on the faces.
41:40Are you leaving?
41:43Yeah.
41:44I just came to drop that stuff off.
41:49It's been a long night.
41:51Yeah.
41:59I tried to hang on to something bigger.
42:02But in the end, reality always won out.
42:09Two weeks after Doug Westmont was killed by a car bomb.
42:13And his affair with AUSA Monica Adams was exposed.
42:17Abe Pruitt was granted a mistrial.
42:20The judge threw out his conviction.
42:24He told his followers he walked out a free man
42:27because there was something bigger than themselves.
42:31But he was about to show the world what he really believed.
42:36In Abe Pruitt's mind, there was nothing bigger than Abe Pruitt.
