What's this?

My uncle can get us not just out of the city, but out of the whole damn country.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, you know what it's like. You're not really living unless you're close to

dying. S .A. Deep Light is one of the only people standing between the

of this city in a very imminent threat.

We need

a

10 -1 immediately at Chestnut and Brand.

Okay,

I'm gonna go, okay?

Check and see if there's anything salvageable in there before PD comes

it. I saw something in the basement they don't want me to see.

And notify Blythe!

Come on, stay with it.

Right? Keep breathing, okay? We're almost there.

Can you grab me a pack of 4x4s?

I got them, I got them.

I can't get this heating to stop. As soon as I lift this, send out fresh

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And now.

Okay, okay, I got you. I'm right here, okay? Hey, it's Richard. Listen to me.

I'm right here, okay? We're almost there. We're going to fix you up nice,

Hey, pal. Hey, hey. You keep breathing, okay?

Listen to my voice. Just listen to my voice. We're almost there.

Okay,

what do we got?

GSW to the abdomen.

BP is 72 over 40.

Let's go. Let's go.

Okay, let's get him to two floor. I'll call Dr. Nesbitt and pull him out of

hernia now.

Officer Drew.

Dammit.

Died in surgery.

They tried to... They...

They said he lost too much blood.

They did everything they could, but he...

Hmm. What? No.

No.

No! No!

No!

No! No! No! No!

We believe this to be the result of an act of arson in connection with a

for an escaped convict.

There were injuries sustained while trying to make the arrest, and the

count has not yet been finalized. Now, this investigation is ongoing, so we

alert you when we have more information.

Damon Drew was a man who loved his family, his job, his country.

Not in equal measure, but in that order.

He knew the pressures and the danger and the relentlessness of chasing

down threats who would wish to do harm to the United States, but he fought them

anyway.

And he did so with grace and determination.

I believe we have disrupted this terrorist threat, whatever its endgame.

I believe now is not the time to retreat.

Lick our wounds.

Take a step back.

I'd like us to put our noses down, focus, and be the elite task force I

can be. Can we do that?

What about a funeral service?

I asked Cora to consider keeping it private as a public funeral might

these guys.

Ultimately, it's up to her.

All right, let's get back to work.

Find these assholes.

Meet you.

Did you see anything in the basement?

Any scrap of information, a location, a name?

It was pretty dark. I didn't really know what I was looking at.

Saw a map of the L .A. court.

Wait. What is it?

There was a name.

There was a name. It was on the sidewall. It was tacked up like it was

important.

Gallagher. Gallagher?

Yeah, just like it sounds. Okay, let's run a reverse search on that name. Look

for any connections between Novakov and Volchek.

Immigration attorney, business associate, immigration sponsor, any

that work. Fine.

Sir, there's a problem.

What? LAPD is looking to reassign their detectives to in -house special units.

This came from LAPD? That's my understanding.

Thank you, Heather.

Don't you dare talk to me like that. You're so stupid.

This is my restaurant!

Rejoice. But this is all I've poured into it.

Your house, your wife, all that's on my way.

You won't understand me.

Bring your thoughts to the parade.

You've spent a lot of time here. No, no, no, I don't care.

Hey, how'd it go when the notification injured his wife?

Brutal.

Lost a son and her husband in the same year.

I can't even imagine.

The only way to make this right is to find whoever did this and put them in

ground.

Yeah. Amen to that.

I should have had a better plan.

What?

I was, uh...

I was reckless because...

Because that's just how I've always

been.

I just blindly followed Timur.

I went down those stairs when I knew it was risky, and I, uh... I didn't have an

extraction plan.

Followed your instincts.

Yeah, because of that, Drew's dead.

That's what it's like partnering with me, see?

I'm so busy not giving a shit about myself that I don't think for one second

about the people who are backing me up.

You done?

I guess.

Good.

You know, this isn't the first time I lost a member of my team.

I was, um, nine months into working for the DEA.

Here we go.

Shut up.

When my training agent was shot and killed during a raid.

For weeks, I questioned every decision I made in the run -up and through the

execution of that attack.

If I had gone right instead of left, if I had been first at the door instead of

second, if I had brought fucking coffee that morning and we had waited just ten

more minutes, just ten more minutes before the attack, would Jim still be

But those questions never go away.

So, what you do, what you learn to do, is bite them down, put them away, and

focus on the job ahead.

Otherwise, what the hell are we doing here?

Hey, Shepard found something.

The dance hall in Burbank was registered under an LLC, right? So the first thing

I did was pull the permitted visitor registry at Palmdale for Timur Novikov

while he was incarcerated.

I then pulled the names of the LLC officers registered with the state, and

comparing the two, I found this name, Mikhail Derko, Belarusian.

Also found a second address registered to the LLC, this one residential in

Studio City, and that is...

1421 Wrightwood Drive.

So I contacted the U .S. Postal Inspection Service to see who's

at Wrightwood. Mikel Durko?

Correct. You got a photo?

Uh, yeah.

That's him.

That's Timur's uncle. That's who we met at the dance hall.

All right, Olivares, Meacham, Bell, Fina, go check out that address.

Shepard, I want Durko's travel history, immigration status, business and tax

record, citizenship record, criminal history, all databases.

It's done.

Let's go, let's go.

LAPD, open the door!

LAPD!

Where's Mikhail?

He left.

Where? He left them. He left me.

Agent

Blythe, what

brings you out to my office?

I think you know.

The LAPD detectives I have working under my command are essential.

The fact that you went to the police commissioner to interfere with their

assignment is unconscionable, misinformed, and dangerous.

Agent Rackley from DHS informed me you lost a member of your task force.

Damon Drew?

And you want to talk to me about what is dangerous?

And while I am certainly sorry for your loss, I can't help but think this is a

failure at the leadership level.

You're a failure.

You have no idea what you're disrupting. Because you purposely excluded me.

A decision you're already coming to regret.

Maybe putting together a team of some of the biggest malcontents and agitators

from their various departments.

Shocker.

Wasn't such a great idea after all.

And while I do appreciate your visit,

I have a meeting.

Back off the transfer.

Or what?

Or you'll see a side of me you won't like.

What happened to Kelduco?

They've got her head spinning.

I swear to you, my husband, he doesn't tell me nothing.

It's different when you go around him. The wife, she doesn't know these things.

No? She just, what, drives around in her Mercedes doing what? Taking tennis

balls and... Not this. But yes, he makes business. I say other business.

It's just convenient.

I knew he was a... I need to say something more.

How do you say? His attitude was...

Shit. He used to love America.

The big land of the free, yes?

A real patriot.

We had restaurant, we had house, we had life.

And then COVID came.

No restaurant, no people.

Mikhail, he started time on the computer.

Started meeting people, unhappy people like him.

He was a different person. And then today he tells me he's leaving.

And then I see you at my front door, and I didn't know what to do.

My life is just... I was scared.

Do you see?

Do you understand?

Give us a second.

What do you think?

Angling for victimhood.

Yeah, that was my read.

It's a fucking act.

She knows more than she's letting on.

Break her.

Done.

You okay?

Need some tissue, maybe some water, something to drink. Yes.

Great. See that mirror behind me?

Behind that mirror is a little room. In that room are four people who say they

haven't seen a performance that shitty since Jar Jar ruined Star Wars.

It doesn't matter.

Here's where we are, Tatiana.

Your husband is involved with a terrorist attack against the United

America. No, that can't be. And you know where he is.

I don't. But you do. And because you do... That makes you an accessory to a

to detonate a weapon of mass destruction.

It's as though you planted the bomb yourself.

That could mean you get thwarted, but we're beyond that. That could mean jail

time, but we're beyond that, too.

No, no, please.

I can get him messages.

Well, talk to me.

The website that he uses to communicate with them?

I know his username.

They're running IP masking software using VPNs to hide their location. I

backtrack him if I had a month.

Just send BellaVaza44 a message from his wife. Use the name Tatsi. T -A -T -S

-I. That's what he calls her. Tell him this is the only way that she knows how

to reach him.

Should I send?

Okay, what now?

We wait. If he doesn't respond, we should kick her and follow.

Yeah. We had a case where a little sister of this banger from Linwood said

hadn't seen her brother in eight years.

Didn't even know what he looked like since lockup. We let her go. She made

a beeline for him right away.

What did you say when you first met your husband?

I, uh... Now or never. Oh, you look like Yankovsky.

Okay, uh, send them another message. Tell them that they need to meet one

time.

Tell him I have his mother's photograph.

I want to give it to him and tell him I love him one last time.

Not a... No sign of him.

We're 15 past.

Yeah, maybe he had second thoughts.

Sniffed us out?

Could be.

We calling it?

Hold up, hold up.

Go, go, go.

Wait,

wait!

We got him. He's in the interview room.

Great. Ice him for a minute.

Special Agent Bell.

Your father worked with District Attorney Valwell, correct?

Yes, sir. What did he think of him?

My dad, Isaiah Bell, he was working the task force with LAPD.

The Darcy murders back in 95, I think. Right. I remember that case. Cousins or

something. Talent scouts? That's right, yeah. A pair of cousins murdering young

girls fresh off the bus from Omaha, Idaho.

Norah, Texas.

AUSA didn't want to bring charges.

Yes, sir. They didn't think my father had enough evidence.

But there was this young prosecutor fresh out of law school.

Wanted to roll the dice.

It's Grayson Balboa.

They talked to the DA at the time. I think they went with local charges

of federal.

And they got the conviction?

They did.

Yeah, justice for those girls and those bastards off the streets.

So I don't know Valwell personally. I've met him here once, but... My dad

never forgot that he put his whole career on the line because he believed

work.

Thank you.

And will you let Oliveras and Meacham know I'll be right in?

Sure.

Mikhail Derko, I want to say something.

I want you to know you have a wrong man.

I am just a poor baker from Kolodny.

Yeah, poor baker who runs like Tyreek Hill.

Time to pay the piper for your crimes.

Crimes? What crimes?

My nephew, Timur Novikov, was escaped from prison that very day.

Shows up at my place of business with you.

A man, I was told, was another escaped convict. Of course I was scared.

Of course I felt threatened. That's why I led you to the back of the restaurant.

Oh, bullshit.

That's why I was pretending I was going to shoot you.

You pretended?

Yes, I was trying to scare him so he wouldn't come back.

Then I would call the police.

So the next thing I know, more people arrive, and so...

R .R .D.

Otto escaped prisoners?

Who am I to know?

So I was terrified.

I tried to defend myself.

Mikhail, we have your wife. We have you. Tell us who was in the basement.

Where is he? What is he planning?

I saw the maps.

I saw the schematics. I saw the plans.

I know nothing. I even don't know what you're talking about.

And, uh...

It was my nephew who killed your colleague, not me. My stupid nephew.

Tell me what I want to know.

And tell me now.

You won't crack.

We need leverage.

Doesn't care about his wife that much, it's obvious.

There was a cousin who picked us up, Timur's cousin.

I mean, he called him, he was there in no time.

You got Mikhail's family tree?

Uh, yeah.

You see him there?

No, I don't.

What was the make and model of his car?

It was a Prius, 2020s.

Prius? Yeah, can you fucking believe that?

Is it on his mom's side or dad's side?

I don't know.

Did he have to be told the address to the dance hall, or did he just know it?

No, he just knew it.

Okay, then he goes there a lot.

Call up traffic cams in the area around the dance hall for seven days prior.

Look for any Toyota Priuses in the vicinity, see if we can get a license

You sure it was a Prius?

Yeah, I wouldn't make that up.

You can use the new AI search scan to look for just Prius hits?

Yeah, right about that, thank you.

Wait, whoa, that's it.

That's it right there, and that's the cousin. Okay.

Car's registered to an address in Canoga Park.

Yeah, but his W2s are registered to a factory downtown.

Callahan's Textiles? It's work hours right now.

Go pick him up.

LAPD. Can I help you?

Yeah, do you know this guy?

Go, go.

Hey, Dimitri.

What did that do to me? Shh, shut up.

Oh, whoa.

Look at that, Meacham.

What? That's not mine.

Yeah. Yeah, no, they all say that. You know how many dopes are doing 20 and

Chino for stuff they said wasn't theirs?

That's crazy.

She can't do that.

She can't do that. Possession's actually like 9 tenths of the law. It looks like

you're in possession of, uh, what is that, about 2 grams of heroin?

How much time is that? 20 at minimum. 20. No, no, no, no. You can't do that.

that's minimum. You throw in aiding and abetting your uncle?

What? Mikel Durko's your uncle.

We don't give a damn about you, Dimitri.

But see, your uncle is involved in a terrorist plot, and we want to know what

he's planning.

I know nothing of this.

But you do know your uncle.

It's like the heroin. You possess knowledge, and since you're holding out

we have to charge you. His daughter.

Daughter what daughter?

He doesn't have a daughter.

He does.

He does.

He's a mistress. She had a child.

His name is not on birth certificate.

She's 18 years old.

She's a student at university.

Check my phone.

I have a picture.

I have a picture!

I thought you were going to flush that brick.

I did.

Most of it.

Something you want to tell me?

No.

Sir?

Mikhail Durko's daughter.

18, freshman at Cal State Northbridge.

Tuition links to a dummy account set up by Mikhail's LLC.

Shepard's already working up her profile.

This could be the watch the cracks moment.

Uh, sir?

Special Agent Shepard?

I would like to conduct the interview.

I don't mean to overstep when you guys are great in the room. It's just...

Then you have to admit, I looked just like her.

What's going on?

Shepard's getting her feet wet.

How are you, Mecca?

Can I get you anything?

A sandwich.

I'm fine.

I think we know about your daughter.

I don't know that you care about her.

Anya.

She's all alone in this world now.

And not only are you never going to see her again, but we're going to tell

everybody you're her father.

And she's going to live in disgrace.

I know her future.

I know exactly what is going to happen to her if you don't cooperate.

She's going to be a pariah.

No one's going to want to date her or marry her. She's not going to have any

friends. A life of isolation.

Her entire family will be deported or jailed or both. No support, no hope.

Now, I know you may not care about your own life, but do you know what happens

to Anya next?

Pills, vodka, more pills, harder drugs, needles, anything to make her forget

you. And the first call comes from the hospital, but the second one comes from

the morgue. Enough, stop.

Stop.

What do you want to know?

I'll tell you.

But please, make sure Anja is out.

Who is Volchek?

I was contacted a month ago through an encrypted server.

This man, Wolchek, he needed a base to operate from.

He told me he was a proud citizen of Beckholm and he's planning something

patriotic. I said, OK, I have plenty of room in the basement of my dance hall.

Why not?

But I didn't know what he's doing.

I swear.

I need the money. I have a wife, girlfriend, my daughter,

and Texas has been... How do you reach Volchek?

We made a system for making contact.

Yeah.

Now what?

Green lets him know I have information.

And I'll be at Van Nuys Airport at 8 p .m.

You'll meet me there?

You're sure?

Polo bears, anything?

Negative. All right, let's bag this guy.

Oh, give me.

Oh, what do you see?

Nothing.

Wait.

Yep, got him.

We're close to six o 'clock.

We got him. I got him.

Take him.

Take him now.

Who the hell is it?

Who the fuck are you?

Ben. Ben. Ben Herron. I'm a pilot.

I was told to be here.

Fuck.

God damn it.

One, please.

You're completely out of line.

I didn't want to come here in the first place.

I've told you a million times.

Jax doesn't like bananas.

Okay. Okay. But here's the thing. I love her. What?

Every investigation I've ever been a part of has had its peaks and valleys.

This is a valley for sure.

But there will be peaks.

There will be.

We're going to find this guy, and we're going to stop him.

I promise you that.

Cora, will you come over here, please?

Thank you, Nathan, for letting me come here and do this. Of course. Anything

need.

I know this isn't allowed.

having me here, having someone from outside in your headquarters.

But I wanted to look each of you in the eye and tell you that what Damon wanted,

what I want, is for you to finish what he started.

Please don't look back at what he sacrificed and think I could have done

I could have tried harder. I could have stopped it from happening.

Because Damon never let anything get in his way when he was trying to keep this

country safe.

Can you do that for me?

Thank you.

Cora, Damon's name will forever be remembered in the Hall of Badgers at the

Department of Homeland Security in D .C., and I know you'll be at the service

when it occurs, but I also wanted you to know that he'll be honored here.

and remembered in this office every day

until the job is finished.

People want to know your name.

So the consulate, as can be expected, is running advanced cybersecurity

platform. Yeah, the servers are impregnable from the outside, so we're

What if we reach them from the inside?

It's just another student.

It's just another field beyond the eye.

Hit the ground running on.

One night a cloud is moving in the sky.

Judgment Day is coming.

Empty place.
