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