Stella?

We got to get Theo to school.

Excuse me.

What floor?
Uh, six, please.

I'm so sorry.
I don't know what's gotten

into her this morning.
Oh, no worries at all.

You're just trying to
protect your mom, huh?

Good morning.
Good morning...

and apologies in advance.

What happened?
Kate insisted

we try this new café
that serves

"Chagaccinos."

Come again?
Super healthy

mushroom lattes.

She's obsessed,
and she wants me to be, too.

Like liquified mushrooms.

Sounds gross. Agreed.

But Kate and I
are in a really good place.

I don't want
her need to be healthy

to get in the way of that,
so drink up.

Ugh.

It tastes like compost.

I promise I'll make it up
to y'all.

I doubt it.

Boss wants to see you,
by the way.

I'm not that late, am I?

Agent Boone.

Alone?

He tell you what he needs?

All right, yeah,
I'll be right there.

Morning, Lucy.
Have a seat.

Here you go.
Before you say anything,

I know I'm late and I'm sorry.

I had a hectic morning,
but that's not an excuse...

Well, I wouldn't have
even known you were late

if you hadn't just told me.

And you're not in trouble.

Then why did you shut the door?

Yeah.
Um...

Because...

you were just awarded the
Special Agent Afloat position

aboard the Ronald Reagan.

Congratulations.

How? When...

When I applied last year,
they turned me down.

Well, there was a medical
emergency with the current agent

who had to be evac'd,
so your name popped up

to the top of the list
as a replacement.

Is there any way we could
unpop it?

I-I don't mean to be

ungrateful
after you supported me

through the whole application
process last year.

And I-I was

so excited about the prospect
of being the sheriff

of a floating
5,000-person town...

But life is just
a little different now.

I know it's not easy
leaving your life behind.

Okay? Even just temporarily.

Look, I struggled

every time a mission
took me away from my kids.

I just don't want
any regrets.
I get that.

But, look, this is a door
that swings both ways.

Being an agent afloat,

this could be good
for your NCIS career.

Is that your way of saying,
"Not going isn't an option"?

This is my way of saying
I need an answer by tomorrow.

They want you
in Singapore next week.

Hey, Brooksy. Where is he?
Hey.

Over there.
Okay. Thanks.

Theodore?

I go by Theo.

I'm Special Agent
Jesse Boone.

I go by Jesse.

The guard told me
that you rode your bike

all the way here
from Waikiki?

Yeah. I can't get
a phone until I'm 12,

so I don't have Uber
or anything.

Are you the boss?

Not quite.

But I'm still
very good at my job.

How can I help you?
I need to report
a missing person.

My mom didn't come back
from her run this morning.

And my stepdad
is on a submarine

and said we should
come to Pearl

if we needed help.

Okay, how long
has she been gone for?

A couple hours.

And I know
it's not official

until someone's missing
for 24 hours,

but Google also says you should
contact law enforcement

if you're worried about
a person's welfare.

And I am.

What makes you think

she isn't just out
running an errand?

Because Stella
came home alone.

Stella?

Our dog.

She was, she was scratching
at the front door,

but Mom wasn't with her.

Jesse, you have to
go find her.

I'm gonna get right on it.

But before I can do that,

have you eaten?

'Cause I microwave
a mean breakfast burrito.

Come on.

Hey, I got the kid set up
in the conference room.

Did you reach his stepdad?

He's on a sub off
the coast of Myanmar

and there's no nonessential
communications allowed.

Any other guardians listed?

No.

I notified
the Command Ombudsman

and they're ready to send

a Family Advocacy rep
to take Theo

into custody if we don't track
down his mom by the end of day.

Did Kai and Lucy
turn up anything

at the family's apartment?

Not yet.

But that might be because
Theo asked them to fill up

the dog's water dish while
they're there.

He forgot to before
he rode his bike over here.

Pretty responsible
11-year-old.
Yeah.

I keep picturing Jake
in his shoes, you know.

I think he'd be
freaking out.

So I want to
reassure him, but...

I don't want to lie
to him either.

Well, listen, it's best
to not say anything

until we know
exactly what happened.

If it's a simple explanation,
there's no need

to worry him.

If it's not,
it's better to be specific.

Yeah.

So, what did
the building manager say?

Uh, he knows zilch
about the Acostas.

Barely sees them.

But he says they pay
their rent on time,

they never submit
work orders,

so he gives them
a thumbs up.

Did you find anything
at the apartment?
No, nothing of interest.

The next-door neighbors
aren't much help either.

Just said that
Allie's dog gets so excited

about their morning jog
it wakes up the whole floor.

Oh, this is why
cats are better.

Owning a cat is like having
a psychopathic roommate

who destroys your furniture.

And they're loyal
only to themselves.

Cats are very loyal.

They're just more... discerning.

Okay, what about
this case?

You really think a cat
would look for help

if its owner
was kidnapped?

I think you're giving
Allie's dog

a little more credit
than she's due.

She just came home.
She didn't call 911.

You're right.

Ah, that's the fastest
I've ever won

the "cat versus dog" debate.

No, no, no.
The home part.

Stella rode
the elevator, right?
Yeah.

So unless she knows
which floor she lives on,

either Allie or someone
who knows her

took the dog upstairs.

Uh, building manager's
sending CCTV footage

to Ernie as we speak.

So that'll show us
what happened.

Okay.
Oh, and for
the record...

Mm?

...cats would know

which floor they live on.

Why are we using
a tiny screen

instead of the big monitor
the government provided?

Because her son is sitting
in the conference room.

Maybe it's better he doesn't
see what you've got,

which I hope
is something helpful. Yep.

There's your guy.
How can you be so sure?

Because of what happens next.

Dogs are experts
at nonverbal communication.

She's reading
the man's pheromones

and body language like a book,

knows the guy is bad news
before Allie does.

This is why I bring Pepper
on all my first dates.

No better way
to vet potential lovers.

Please don't
call them lovers.
Please tell me you have

something more
than a barking dog.

He was casing
the building from his car

for the last couple of days.

Did you run the plates?
Car's a rental.

Did the company send over
the rental contract?
Yep, along with a picture

of the guy's
driver's license.

Name's Mitchell Smith.

I'll work on
getting a real ID.
No need.

This is his real ID.

Which is kind of a relief

because, you know,
using a name as boring

as "Mitchell Smith"
as your alias is just...

sad?

In any case,

he's one of 72 other
Mitchell Smiths living

in the greater Chicago
metropolitan area.

But ours flew in
from O'Hare four days ago.

So he came to Oahu
to kidnap someone.

Why isn't he
covering up his tracks?
You can ask him directly.

According to
his rental contract,

he's turning
the car in today.

Freeze!

NCIS. Put your hands up.

What the hell
is this all about?

We're looking for
a missing person.

Allie Acosta.

We have reason to believe
you know her whereabouts.

She's in the trunk.

You know that makes you
incredibly guilty.

I'm a licensed bounty hunter.

An officer of the law,
just like you.

You need to surrender her immediately.

Allie Acosta is dangerous.

Look at my eye.

All right.

What the hell?

She was just right...

Wait!

So we show up
to rescue Allie

only for her
to run away from us.

Starting to look like
she doesn't want to be helped.

Cuffs? Seriously?

On what grounds
are you holding me?

How about
unlawful imprisonment?

Oh, please.

I handle myself with
the upmost professionalism.

I approached her calmly,
explained who I was.

Showed her my license
when she asked.

And how do you think
she responded?

By punching me in the face
and trying to get away.

Again.

Something tells me
he deserved it.

Allie Acosta is not
who you think she is.

So, who is she, exactly?

Allison Perez,
a white-collar criminal.

Used to be a controller
at an insurance firm,

where she was stealing
tens of millions of dollars

until the FBI
finally caught up to her.

Then she skipped town
the moment she got out on bail.

And I've been on her tail
ever since.

Over ten years.

Almost caught her in Cleveland
about eight years ago,

but she got away.

How'd you find her here?

One misplaced phone call

after a death in the family
gave her away.

I let the bondsman know

and I hopped the first flight
to Honolulu.

You travel alone
or with a partner?

If a bounty hunter
needs a partner,

he's not very good at his job.

Maybe you could
benefit from a coworker

'cause from where I sit,
all you seem to do

is catch and release.

You know, if it weren't
for you people,

I'd have Allie halfway back
to Chicago by now.

NCIS cost me 100 grand.

That's not our problem.

What do you want from me?

Your cooperation.

With what?

Look, you're right.
We have no grounds to hold you.

But you essentially kidnapped
a mother with a minor son

without letting her make
arrangements for his care.

So when you find Allie,

you have to let
NCIS know right away

so we can place her son
with a guardian.

So you want me to do
the legwork,

and then just
hand her over to you?

Just to resolve
the custodial arrangements.

Once that's done,

you are free to bring Allie
back to Chicago and get paid.

Yeah. Okay.

Fine.

Hey, since you guys let Allie
get away with my car,

could you give me a ride
to the rental place?

Got it.

We can't just wait for Smith
to find Allie Acosta.

Yeah, something tells me

he's not gonna
honor our agreement

if he finds Allie first.
Key word being "if."

He's gonna have
a hard time finding her

now that his cover's
been blown.

For all we know, she could
already be off the island.

Won't be easy for her to get a
flight with the BOLO we issued.

And do you really think
that she would leave

without her son?

I hope not.

I don't want to have to tell
Theo that his mom skipped town.

Okay, well, don't get
his hopes up.

Finding Allie
is gonna be though.

She's been a fugitive
for 11 years.

She must've had
a contingency plan

if the law ever
caught up with her.

Yeah. So, what's next?

We're gonna loop Whistler in.

Get the FBI involved.

Allie is a fugitive
who's crossed state lines,

so this is their
jurisdiction, too.

I'll read her in.

In the meantime,
I'm gonna have Ernie build

a full criminal profile
on the real Allison Acosta

or Perez.

At least that way
we'll have an idea

of what to look for.

Sounds like a plan, boss.

After I'm done on the phone,
I'll talk to Theo

and bring him
up to speed gently.

Okay.

We had just gotten to Japan

and all my buddy Blake
and I wanted to do

was just get off the damn ship
for a few hours at least.

So we were about
to disembark

when some genius below deck
decides to use

a fire main pipe
as a ladder.

Was this due to a Navy
ladder shortage or laziness?

Oh, laziness, for sure.

So thanks to that,

and the fact that
the dude was, he was huge,

Whole pipe buckled
under his weight,

triggering an automatic
emergency dump

of the bilge tanks.
Oh, that doesn't
sound good.

Oh, the whole ship
listed 45 degrees.

Blake almost fell overboard.

I'll never forget
the look on his face.

When I said I wanted to know
what life's like at sea,

I didn't mean an exhaustive
list of the dangers.

Come on. You knew what
you were getting into, right?

Sure, but I didn't know

it'd feel like being
one sardine in a giant,

rocking tin filled with
5,000 other queasy sardines,

which is what
you're describing.

Wait...

Something tells me
your concerns are less to do

with being at sea,
and more to do with Whistler.

What's she think
about all this?

I kind of haven't
100% told her yet.

Why are you coming
to me before her?

Because I want to
figure out how I feel

before dealing
with how Kate feels.

Okay, well, um...

You know,
being an agent afloat,

it's a, it's a great opportunity.

My son plays that game.
Everybody does.

Yeah.

Well, I'll have to try
playing it sometime.

So quick update.
We saw your mom.

Can you take me to her?
Not yet.

She wasn't quite ready
to talk to us.

Why not?

Because she doesn't know
we're the good guys yet.

Which means
there are bad guys?
No.

It just means she's scared.

Did your mom

ever talk to you
about being in trouble?

No.

What if you don't
find her today?

Where am I supposed to sleep?

Well, we called your
Family Advocacy rep.

She can find you a place.

I need to do my homework.

Okay, yeah.

Do you need a notepad
or some pens or something?

No. My workbooks
are at school.

Can you take me
to pick them up?

Yeah.

Lucy!

Oh, hey!

What's up?
I texted you
two hours ago

about having lunch
in the park.

I mean,
you never responded

so I just came to see
if you were okay.
Yeah!

No, lunch at the park
sounds wonderful.

Let's!

What's going on?

Nothing.

Ish.

You never
ignore my texts.

And you're never
this enthusiastic

about outdoor activities.
Oh, I am if they
involve food.

And you.

I-I just haven't looked
at my phone all day.

You're literally
holding it.

Okay. You're right.
I've been avoiding you.

I was selected for the
Special Agent Afloat position

aboard an aircraft carrier.

They want me to leave
for Singapore next week.

Selected, like,
out of the blue?

No, not exactly.

I... applied last year.
After we broke up.

You were so mad at me

you wanted to be
as far away as you could?

On a boat in the middle
of the thing you hate the most?

Everything on this island
reminded me of you.

I just-- I wanted to
get away.

But that's not
how I feel now.

So what are you gonna do?

Tennant wants me
in the War Room.

It's perfect timing.
I'm sorry.

We're obviously
gonna discuss this.

I love you and I'm not
gonna do anything

without talking
to you first, okay?

Okay.

This is Allie Acosta,
back when she was Allison Perez.

Once upon a time,
she was a financial controller

at Globe Equities,

a large insurance firm
in Chicago.

Then, in early 2011,

the FBI arrested her
for embezzlement.

Nearly $20 million
stolen over five years. Yikes.

According to social media,

everyone in Allie's life
was shocked.

She had always been
an incredibly hard worker.

A buttoned-up rule follower

who'd never even gotten
a traffic ticket.

Then, in keeping with
the seeming shift of character,

Allie skipped bail in late 2011

and has been
in the wind ever since.

You find any signs
she's spending the money?

Because she didn't use it
on her condo.

It's completely
paycheck appropriate.
Nothing so far.

Theo's around 11 years old.

The timeline makes me think
that Allie skipped bail

because she was pregnant.

Which begs the question,

why would Allie leave town
without her son now?

She won't.

Well, good thing the kid's
secure here at Pearl.

Except he's not.

Hey, boss. Yeah.
Theo just grabbed his stuff.

He just popped into the restroom

real quick before we head...

Let me call you right back.

Hey. Sorry.

Theo?

Theo, buddy, come on.

Come on, we got to go.

Damn it.

Ouch! Watch out!

Hey!
What are you doing?

Why are you hiding from me?

What are you doing
in the parking lot?

You were supposed to be
in the bathroom.

I was going to meet my mom.

But when I went out
the bathroom window,

two guys started
chasing me.

Was one of them
this guy?

No. Two other guys.

All right, I-I'm here now.

Let's get you back to Pearl.

He's sure there were
two men chasing him?

Yeah, and that neither
were Mitchell Smith.

I showed Theo his photo.

I wonder if they were
bounty hunters, too.

Doubtful.

Theo said that these goons
knocked over a kid

while they were chasing him.

That's a move that could lose
a bounty hunter their license.

Okay. Let us know
what they say.

So far, no one at the school
got a good look at 'em,

but Kai's checking
with security.

All right, I'll call
the Family Advocacy rep,

see if they have someone
that can come tonight.

Best to keep him safe at Pearl
until we ID these guys.

Do we think the kidnappers are
connected to the bounty hunter?

Smith said he was working alone.

I buy it, as much
as I distrust him.

I mean, I think if he had
other people working with him,

Allie wouldn't have
gotten away so easily.

You said your bounty hunter
reached out to the bondsman

when he got a lead on Allie.

Could be someone involved
in her original crime

bribed the bondsman
to get that information?

$20 million's
a lot of money.

That was no easy theft
she pulled off.

She might have had partners.

And if she double-crossed
those partners,

then they'd be
motivated to find her.

Hanging out at Theo's school
might have been their only play.

So what do they do next?

I don't know.

Knowing who they are
will help us figure that out.

Lucy, go help Ernie.

He's digging into the case
that got her arrested

11 years ago.
Yeah, will do.

Theo and his mom
have been communicating.

Jesse, you think
you can talk to him?

Yeah, convince him
that helping us

is better
than lying to us.

Please and thank you.

My dad used to make
sundaes like this

when I would get
into trouble.

He made you sundaes
when you got into trouble?

Eh, well, sort of.

He'd made sundaes
and then, if I came clean,

I'd get to eat it.

If I didn't,
I'd have to watch him eat it.

All right.

Time to talk.

Man-to-man.

Be straight
with each other.

I can go first.

So...

You kind of made me
look like an ass

in front of my boss

and you put yourself
in danger

when you ran away
at the school.

I know you did it because
your mom told you to.

'Cause she wants
you two guys to be together.

She said she has a plan.

Oh, it'd better be
a really good plan

because she's
in the kind of trouble

that's hard to get out of
by herself.

Then I'll help her.
How?

You can't get to her, and
she can't get to you right now.

Theo,

I know you don't want anything
to happen to your mom.

I don't.

So you can help by telling me

how you're communicating
with her.

Go ahead 'cause...

if I eat it, then I'm gonna
have to go for a run

or something
and I don't want to do that.

You've been talking
in the game chat?

Okay. Bring your sundae.
Let's go talk to Tennant.

ACH for major bills,

credits cards
for most other expenses.

The only money going
into her account

are the couple's paychecks.

If she stole
$20 million,

she's doing a really
good job of hiding it.

Yeah.

Just like you did with this
agent afloat assignment.

I wasn't hiding it.

You just didn't tell anybody.

When I applied,
I knew you all would tell me

I was being reactive
to my breakup with Whistler.

And then I didn't get picked,
so what did it matter?

Now you got it.

How do you feel?

Obviously,
the timing's painful.

But being

the sole NCIS agent
on an aircraft carrier?

All that power
and responsibility?

All that fear of
falling overboard.

I'd get over that,
wouldn't I?

I can't tell if that laugh
is good or bad.

Come on. You got to have
some advice for me.

Yes. When you got together
with Whistler,

you should have pulled
your application.

You know,

time travel is your solution
to a lot of things.

It's my way of saying
it's an unsolvable problem

without actually having
to say that.

What about the original
investigation?

Wow, nice topic bust.

She was accused
of siphoning money

out of small business
insurance settlements

with the imbalances
getting lost

in some reconciliation accounts.

Where'd she siphon
the money to?
Investigators never found it.

So, settlements,
that's payables.

Imbalances, that's accounting.

Reconciliations,
that's auditors.

I feel like I'm in that
home economics class

balancing my checkbook
all over again.

You took home ec?

I loved home ec.

What's your point?

Hmm.

So, Tennant has a hunch

that Allie wasn't
working alone.

She was a low-level
controller,

and when Globe Equities
went bankrupt,

these three guys
started a new company

with the same business model.

I'm not following.

How is three executives starting
a new company a red flag?

Because the new company
went bankrupt two years ago

after $8 million disappeared

into tax shelters
and bad investments.

Okay, I'm seeing
the flag now.
Mm-hmm.

These three guys
may have continued

stealing money
under a new banner,

which means they may have been
Allie's accomplices

at Globe Equities 11 years ago?

It's possible.

Do you think my relationship
with Whistler

will work if I take
the agent afloat job?

You know me, I have
an opinion about everything.

On this, though,

I'm gonna take a pass.

I feel like I'm getting
my mom in trouble.

I understand why
you feel that way,

but you're not.

Okay? We're worried
about your mom

and we want to
make sure she's safe.

I'm gonna start
the chat now, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Message sent.

What did you say?

I introduced myself,

I said that you were with us
and that you gave me permission

to use your game to talk to her.

Do you think she's mad
that I came to you guys?

No, I think she knows
you're just worried about her.

And I told her
that we were, too.

Usually, she writes back
right away.

Do you think the guys
who chased me found her?

I've lived long enough
to know that, usually,

your scariest worries
don't come true.

See? She just needed
a minute to respond.

She wants to know
what her favorite snack is.

Ah, your mom's smart.

She wants to make sure
we have you

and not just your device.

Pickles.

I love pickles.

What kind?

The hamburger slice ones.

What did she say?

She said she'd meet us.

And I'm supposed to tell you
that she loves you very much.

Hey.

Jesse,

can you take Theo
to the kitchen

with his
half-melted sundae?

Will do.

Hey.

School cops saw two guys sitting
in a car outside the school.

They wrote down
the plate number.

You get anything from it?
It's another rental.

They didn't use
their real names.

All right,
I'll fill Whistler in.

You and Jesse should go
meet her at Kalakaua Avenue

and pick Allie up.

I'll drop the pin. Okay.

Hey, Kai...

She claims she's innocent

and says she has
documentation to prove it.

Make sure we get it.

Okay.

So, Whistler, how are you
feeling about everything?

I'm not sure.

Aren't you Mr. Sensitive
all of a sudden?

Well, it's a big deal,

Lucy thinking about taking
an agent afloat position.

What?

What?
You didn't know?

No.

But that doesn't matter.

What matters is how you feel.

Still not sure.

Hey, is that our
bounty hunter?

He must have followed us here.
Whistler, go find Allie.

Kai, you and I,
let's go slam this guy.

Guys, Allie's got a new tail.

Stop! Federal agents!

Copy. Stay with him.

Stop! Let me go!

Get in!

No!

Go!

Hey.

Are you okay?

Not really.

I have no idea
who those guys were.

How'd they know
we'd be here?
No clue.

You're the cops.
That's your job.

Okay, you understand that agents

of two different
federal agencies

are asking you questions?

That if we put
our heads together,

we could find a way
to put you in federal prison

just for that dumb look
on your face?

I was waiting
outside the gate

at Pearl Harbor
and followed you.

Did they follow you?
Not that I saw.

And I was checking
'cause I wanted to make sure

that you folks weren't
following me following you.

You said you got
close to her once.

Where was that?

Cleveland.

She was living in some
dumpy apartment,

working as a bookkeeper

on some mom and pop
dry-cleaning operation.

When you almost caught her,

did you think someone else
was trying to find her?

No.

Hey.

HPD found the car empty
less than a mile away.

Got them doing
a search of the area.

Hey, can you take
these cuffs off me?

Not until you've been booked.

For what?

U.S. Code Chapter 73.

Obstruction of Justice.

Allie told Tennant
that she was innocent.

That she had
the documentation to prove it.

And now that some hired guns
just kidnapped her,

I'm thinking
she's telling the truth.

The guys who grabbed her
are probably working

for whoever really
embezzled that money.

They want her proof.

They don't seem nearly as stupid
as that bounty hunter.

Ernie needs to figure out how
those thugs knew where we were.

And fast.

Did you get her?

Where is she?

Look, Theo, we weren't
able to get...
Where's my mom?

We're still working on it.

You're supposed to
make sure she's safe.

I know, bud.
We're trying.

No, you're not.

Hey, hey,
where are you going?
To find my mom.

She's in trouble.
We're doing everything
we can, Theo.

You're not!

You need to stay
in the conference room.

All right?
If I have to watch you,

that's one less person
looking for your mom.

There was
a tracking device

on the bounty hunter's
second rental car.

That doesn't help us much,
since we have the bounty hunter

in custody and don't
need to find him.

True,
but I'm betting

that the tracker belonged
to the guys that grabbed Allie.

And this particular tracker
connects to a phone app.

You think they'd be dumb
enough to leave it running?

I am counting on the general
forgetfulness of people

where technology is concerned.

Yes!

They left the tracking
app connected?
They did.

Now where are they?

Got 'em.

They're at Allie
and Theo's apartment.

That must be where she left
her proof of innocence.

Call Jesse. Tell him
I'm on my way upstairs.

If both of the thugs
are in her apartment,

how are we going to
get her out safely?

It's a good question.

Why don't you go
around back, Luce,

in case they get past us.

Let's go see
the building manager.

That's your plan?

Ask the building manager
to talk to 'em?

If that would work?
Then, yes.

Apartment next to Allie's.
You think this is a good idea?

Not really,
but you have a better one?

No.

All right. On the six.
On the six.

I'll see you
in 30 seconds.
I hope so.

Okay, thanks.

So, agent afloat?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

You were bonding
with the kid,

and I didn't want to mess
with your head.

You wouldn't have.

Because you don't
care if I go?
No.

Because you'll only
be gone a few months,

and the photos of you
green around the gills

will be
totally worth it.

So... I should do it?

What's your reason not to?

Whistler.

She's solid.

If you've got reasons,

they're yours, not hers.

If I go, who's gonna pick
glass shards out of your hair?

I'll just leave them in there
until you get back.

Once I figured out
what they were doing,

I started downloading
the reconciliations

at the end of every day.
For proof.

Did you ever contact
the authorities?

No.

It took me several months

to be sure that they were
actually embezzling money.

And, once I was...
You were pregnant.

Yeah.

I guess I got
scared and sloppy.

I left a trail in the system
showing I'd been copying files.

That's probably when
they decided to pin it on me.

I don't have
any family, I...

I-I just couldn't take
a chance on my baby

being put up for foster care
for something I didn't do.

Do you still have the proof?

I think so.

They watched me
deleting the files

on my laptop,

but they were smart enough
to know I had cloud storage.

This was a virus to wipe it out,

but you guys jumped in
before it did.

You're gonna need to
testify against them.

I know.

And if I have to go to jail,

Theo's got his stepdad.

He'll be okay.

Hopefully it doesn't
come to that.

Come in.

Jesse.

Yeah.

Hey.

How are you doing?

I'm not good
with big decisions.

They sort of make me
sick to my stomach.

Hey, well,

whatever you decide,
my sweet...

it's not forever.

It just feels,

I don't know,

fraught.

How come?

Well, when, um...

When I was in high school,
my first girlfriend

and I...
What was her name?

Marcella.

Was she cute?
Very.

Are you gonna let
me tell my story?

Yes.
Are you jealous?

No.
Yes, you are.

Anyway, Marcella
and I would sit on this

small hill because there were
no real high places to sit

in our part of the world,

and...

she'd talk about all the
adventures we were going to have

after we left Texas.

Only, I-I didn't want
to have adventures.

I just wanted to sit...
on the hill with Marcella.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's hard for me
to believe that,

'cause I don't know
if you've noticed,

but I have trust issues.

No!

Oof, best girlfriend ever.

So...

I think I have to do it.

I have to go
on the big boat, if...

you're sure
you're okay with it.

Dramamine?
Jumbo sized.

Wait, you knew
I was gonna go?
Yes.

How?
Because I was gonna
insist upon it.

I mean,

you're conquering
your fears

and doing something
good for you career.

And...

And what?

We are strong enough to survive
four months of your misery.

I'm gonna be
so miserable, aren't I?

Oh, that big boat is
just floating out there,

waiting to torture you.

Come here.

♪ Baby, our love's not lost... ♪

I'm really gonna
miss you.

♪ And before you know ♪

♪ I'll be coming home. ♪

♪ Ooh. ♪
