Oh, look at that, me chum. What?

That's not mine.

You want to talk to me about what is dangerous?

I can't help but think this is a failure at the leadership level.

You have no idea what you're disrupting.

This man, Wolchek, he told me he's planning something patriotic, but I

know what he's doing.

Try it in English.

Hello, wonderful.

Hello, wonderful.

Hello. Hello.

Hello, wonderful. Hello.

Hello.

What do I say?

I wish you good luck and good luck.

When I finish this partnership,

from now on, we will write our own checks.

We will live like old people.

And if you don't do that?

Want to make a prediction about Borja in Siberia?

As you can see, Belarus feeds most of Eastern Europe, and we at Blue Line feed

Belarus. Our yield marks over 52 % of the entire country's exports. We're the

leader in potatoes, in sugar beets, in barley, in wheat, in rye, in corn, for

Poland, for Hungary, for Slovenia, for Slovakia.

And we are looking to expand.

And how would this benefit our company?

We do not have the NFU.

Seriously. As such, we will produce a higher yield at one half the cost.

Blue Lion will keep production up while realizing minimal overhead. Excuse me.

Can you go back a slide?

Please.

Yeah, there it is. So your overall output for potatoes is 22 ,000 pounds

acre?

Yeah. Okay. Well, what Blue Lion lacks in technology and modern farming

techniques... Casper Rickard Danvers makes up foreign superior yield per

We're currently achieving over 40 ,000 pounds of potatoes and 32 tons of sugar

beets per acre.

Yes, but at what cost?

Competitive cost.

No. With easier access to a greater swath of the world for distribution.

Nonsense. And we don't have any uncomfortable ties with our government.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Thank you. Thank you very much. I thank both our American friends and our

Belarusian friends for coming here today to make their presentation and to

answer our question.

We will conduct due diligence and will make our decision with whom we will seek

a partnership by the end of the week.

Sir. Daniel.

It seems that everything is well organized here. The chance for success

to waste time for nothing on the unregistered.

When the dance hall was shut down, the staff ran away.

But the data on the camera was recorded not by the doctors.

But by the entire Delfi security company.

So, good.

So, we found this creature, as you were looking for.

Alright,

here's what we know.

A Belarusian national named Volchek was using the Reyes Nuevos cartel's drug

smuggling operation to bring fissile material into the U .S. through the port

Los Angeles.

We believe he's been operating out of the Krychek dance hall in Burbank, owned

by Mikhail Durko, which was subsequently burned down when we were drawing close.

Mikhail Durko is in custody. His nephew, Timur Novikov, is dead.

So far, we've been unable to identify Volchek.

I would like to do so today, and since we are multiple oars in the water, let's

make sure we're all pulling in the same direction.

Shepard. Yeah, deep diving the name Meacham saw on the wall at the dance

Gallagher, running it through NCIC, NGI, and X.

And I'm on the NICF and LEAP. There's a lot of Gallaghers, but we get them

through a lot.

Great. Keep at it.

Oliveras. With Meacham combing through the ERT reports from Dirk's wife's

his mistress's house, and the remains of the dance hall. Any fingerprints, any

fibers, any forensics that can be actionable against Olchek.

See you now.

I reached out to LAPD as well as Burbank gang units that specialize in Eastern

European criminal organizations.

Just counting intel now.

I feel like the noose on this guy is tightening. Let's not lose our grip.

All right, let's go.

Boss, so I heard from a friend of Westwood.

Apparently District Attorney Valwell is setting a meeting with the ADIC.

Your name and the words head on a platter were invoked. Thank you.

If what it's worth, I think you're doing a hell of a job.

Have you looked at the front door fingerprints from Tatiana's house? There

about 40 unidentifiable.

Yeah, I'm on it.

I got a question for you that you so conveniently didn't answer earlier that

think we need to discuss.

Javi Lopez's brick.

I'm just saying that it showed up again.

Some of it did.

So is that your answer, that you just kept a little to the side in case you

might need it?

I do what I have to do to get the information. We need to save innocent

Well, that's bullshit.

The cartel doesn't play by a rule book. Why the fuck should we?

So yeah, you know what sometimes the lines they're gonna get a little blurry

you can't stomach that that's fine. Are you using?

Because I'll ride or die with blurred edges all day long, but I need to know

exactly where that edge is We're routinely tested.

You know that fail once and that's it that doesn't answer my question

I'll say this.

You'll do a lot of shit you never thought you would do when there was a

coke on a table in front of you and a gun pointed at your head.

What about you, huh? Los Angeles kid, you saying you never used, you never

dabbled. This isn't about me.

Well, I'm making it about you.

Well, for one, I'm not an L .A. kid.

Oh, no?

No.

Victorville, actually.

A desert rat.

And I did what every kid from Victorville does. I drove cars too fast

I sprayed painted graffiti on the Rockahula.

Talked shit to my parents.

And swore I'd leave the desert and never come back.

Because you end up working at a Sitco or a rubber factory and you never leave

town.

So I turned 17.

Hadn't been to high school in over a month.

Because I didn't give a shit.

So when the school, Victor Valley, came looking for me, they found my old man

instead. And when he caught up with my ass, he gave me four choices.

Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines.

And I flipped a coin.

Hey, company in Burbank, Delphi Security, just reported two data service

murdered last night.

They hosted a digital video capture from the dance hall.

Why didn't we have that information?

I think the assumption was the security camera data was posted on site, so it

would have been destroyed in the fire.

Be continued.

Heather, set a meeting with the Belarusian Consul General.

Yes, sir.

What, time to bring him in?

I'm going to float the name Volchek and see what reaction I get.

Kira, I need Elinka. We'll meet in the car.

I understand you want to talk to me, Mr. Russovich.

Confess everything you know about the Americans.

Matt Woodley.

Absolutely.

Mr. Roost.

Volchek.

Where

is

he now?

I've tried to find out why he could be with your son when he ran away. It seems

to me that I don't know anything about the J .K. Walker trial. This man...

I don't know.

I saw him with my own eyes.

I think he's innocent.

Who is he?

We're still freaking out to be honest with you. Rob and Mary were the kindest,

the hardest working people.

We are so sorry for your loss.

What did the thief take?

Nothing as far as I could tell.

They did smash one of our servers all to bits though.

And this server hosted video from the dance hall?

Yeah. We keep the security video for up to seven days or until the system resets

itself. We could host longer, but most of our clients stay seven days.

They're going to go use the day.

Was there more than one perpetrator? We got two different sized boot prints in

the blood. I think this was a two -person job.

Okay.

Thank you, guys.

He's got an accomplice.

Maybe more than one. We could be looking at a team here. Yeah, I'll phone it

into Blythe.

I'm looking for a box of needles now.

Hello, friend.

Special Agent in Charge Nathan Blythe of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Joseph Astapov, I'm the Consul General, and my understanding is you would like

to talk to me, perhaps. I must apologize for you driving all this way, but I

only have a minute to spare.

Oh, I was told you had time in your schedule.

Again, I apologize.

I'm afraid time is a luxury I often find slipping through my fingers.

Well, then I'll get right to it.

We're looking for a Belarusian citizen who's a person of interest in an active

investigation. Last name Volchek?

Volchek.

Volchek?

No, no, I'm unfamiliar with this name. You are.

I don't know, but if you... The investigation is into the death of a

officer. It is my wish I could help you, but I cannot help if I don't know

this name.

Well, perhaps you can think harder.

V -O -L -C -H -E -K.

I do not know the name Volchek.

I'm late for appointment. If you'd like to speak further, Mr.

Blythe. I will ask you to make new appointments.

I mentioned the name Volchek, and he couldn't have hightailed it out of there

faster. Cold shoulder?

Frigid. He was planning for some event. I guess he couldn't be bothered.

They'll check with counterintelligence division in the L .A. field office to

if we've recruited any assets in the Belarusian consulate, or if we're

monitoring any lines. Yeah, I can check. And it's the NRO CIA, too. Worth a

shot.

Shepard, how hard would it be to get inside the consulate's computer system

see if an involuntary pops anywhere?

Yeah, I can poke it through what kind of swarm we're dealing with. You got it.

Sir, you mentioned an event.

My wife works for a caterer. They cover a lot of big events in L .A. If they

don't have a consulate job, she'll know who does. I'll ask.

Perfect. Any information would be great.

Tim, how are you buddy?

Yeah, it's great to hear your voice Listen, I need a favor, but I don't want

ask you over the phone

Thank you, everyone. If I could have your attention.

We have analyzed both proposals, and we have... I apologize for the

interruption, but I'm going to save you some time.

I am withdrawing Casper Rickert Danvers' bid for this partnership.

We have some issues to take care of stateside, and I apologize for the late

course correction, but I believe it is in the best interest of myself and my

company that I do so.

Well, in light of this news, I must say we will waste no time in extending our

partnership offer to Blue Line.

Well done.

Bravo.

I don't know.

where you got those photos or how, but there is a price to be paid, and it

just be paid by me.

What, you Serbs and Belarusians and Croatians with your silk ties and your

knockoff suits?

You're all the same.

You just want to be oligarchs from shithole countries.

What, you think you're going to get your peace?

You're going to get wealthy from this personally?

Let me tell you something.

You don't know what it looks like to play dirty.

You're about to find out.

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

platforms. Probably advised and supplied by the Kremlin.

And every way we've tried to start an attack, malware spoofing, we've been

rebuffed and shot down. Yeah, the servers are impregnable from the

we're blind. What if we reach them from the inside?

The company with the catering contract is Pascal's out of Culver City. The

is 300 plus.

There's going to be a lot of bodies outside tomorrow.

If we could get near one of their hard drives, I could install a rootkit. We'd

have to wait until one of their staffers logs in with a password, but then we'd

be in.

All right. Talk to the owners of Pascal. See if we can get their logistics. How

many waiters, where the tables are, where they're setting up, inside,

all of it. Right.

What's this about?

We're trying to get inside one of the Belarusian consulate services to see if

they know the name Volchek.

I'm gonna take the chair.

All right, where the hell's Meacham?

You all right?

Yeah, I just left my phone at my desk. Let's go.

How's it going?

FBI. Is there an owner or a manager we can talk to?

For real?

Amy?

There's an FBI agent here?

Not close enough.

Figured my badge is bigger than yours.

Is that what you figured?

Afternoon. Hello.

I'm Amy Moreno.

You're FBI?

Conducting a federal investigation, yes, ma 'am.

Well, you should know that my son is a U .S. Army officer, and I am one proud

patriotic mama.

Whatever you need, I'd be happy to provide.

What's his MOS?

11 Bravo.

He's a staff sergeant in the 82nd Airborne. Oh, well, you know what they

God loves the infantry.

And a paratrooper to boot. And an NCO. Sounds like he was raised right.

I myself was lucky enough to serve in the Ranger Regiment in my younger days.

That's amazing.

Thank you for your service.

It's an honor to have served our military.

Well... Let me know how I can be of assistance, and I'll help you any way I

Well, we understand you have an event tomorrow night at the Belarusian

consulate. Yes, sir.

Follow me.

An honor.

This is the event grid.

We have about 300 plates coming.

This is the staff list. Yes, ma 'am. Buster, traders, servers, support.

So, gold mine?

Can we get a copy of that, please?

Of course. Thank you.

Is the job safe?

Should I be concerned?

No, it's perfectly fine. We might just need additional help.

Name it.

Tim Carmichael.

Nathan Blythe.

How are you, pal? I'm good.

I was so delighted when your name lit up my phone.

Yeah, it's great to see you.

How's Elizabeth?

Ah, ornery as ever.

She asked if you'd come with us till the night is fall.

Unless the Bureau's got your hands tied.

Well, somebody's got to save the world for democracy.

Well, you look well. Oh, I don't know about that, but... Thank you for taking

the time out of your busy day.

Anytime. Truth is, I may need some help in the...

Saving the world for democracy department.

Oh?

Mr.

Knoll?

What are you talking about?

Who told you that?

I have a deal with a high -ranking official.

We took 100 million rubles.

I'm creating this company.

Me.

This is a penny in comparison with the income I receive.

Damn it.

If they come...

I did everything for this country.

I don't know.

Thank you, my friend.

Kira, let's go.

Right now.

No, no, no. What I need, doc, is I need something stronger, okay?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Because the headaches are worse.

Yes, yes, my vision, my balance. I fucking blacked out on the stairs today.

No, I can't come in to see you because I... There are literally lives at stake

here, okay?

You understand that? So what I need from you is I need you to write me a goddamn

prescription for my fucking headaches.

That's what I need.

Can you do that?

Oh, Jesus.

Why aren't you dressed?

We've been texting you.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give me a minute.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Let's do this.

Hey there.

Tim and Tina Murphy.

I'm sorry, what's the name again?

Uh, Tim Murphy.

Yeah, you're not on the list.

That's odd.

We are. We're on the list.

We might just check in one more time.

It's M -U -R -P -H -Y.

Was entered incorrectly.

Apologies for the delay.

Enjoy the party.

Okay. Thank you.

You see? You see what I'm talking about, huh?

Okay, there he is.

That

is

beautiful. That is beautiful.

I love it.

What are you doing here, Agent Blythe?

We need to talk.

Now? Here?

In case you haven't noticed?

Either here or in private, but it's going to happen now.

If you'll excuse me, it's the consul's time, and it's never his own, huh?

Please, please.

Agent Blythe, you know full well that you're standing on consulate property,

which makes this the sovereign territory of Belarus.

As a full credentialed diplomat to your country, I have full immunity and not

subject to your orders.

This is quite a public party, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to be embarrassed

when this diplomatic incident plays out.

These things tend to make it into the papers.

You wouldn't want your masters in Minsk questioning your judgment, would you?

Maybe we'll go somewhere private.

Talk quickly about something in both our interests.

Come with me.

On the move.

They're heading up to the consul's office.

Copy that.

Okay, showtime.

What? I need to do it again, but closer. Closer.

Just a second.

You should know I went around my own ADIC to bring you this proposal.

Proposal? Yes. I need to know you're not going to screw me, otherwise I'd try to

run and leave right now.

That depends on the proposal, wouldn't you say?

We got it.

Shut the door

Please

sit

After

pops in his office, I counted four PCs in the bullpen about 30 feet away

Give this to Oliveros. Fast. Got it.

Let's go.

lovely people. And I said, Francine, you must find out who they are and make

them feel welcome right this instant.

I do hate coming to these things, but I'm with the Doval Foundation.

We support charities all throughout Eastern Europe. Francine, it is such a

pleasure to meet you. You know, we're actually interested in donating to the

Doval Foundation. Doval Foundation, that's right. And we're going to come

find you. We've just got to take care of a little something first.

We have to call our beautiful daughter, Frida, before she goes to bed. That's

right. Yeah, we'd like to We took her in with a bedtime song, and she hates it

when we don't sing to her. She hates it.

Oh, here's our driver with your phone right now, honey. There you go. Thank

Jerry, so much. So we will be right back with you, okay?

Okay.

Hey. Oh, hey.

Hi. I was just looking for the bathroom. Francine from the Adobo Foundation.

She said it's somewhere up here.

What the U .S. proposes is a substantial payment

if you hand over everything you know about Volchek.

I told you I don't... The payment would be made to you personally.

Your government can keep its money.

I appreciate how sensitive it was for you to bring this directly to me, but

as I told you before, I don't know anyone named Volchek.

Well, that's a shame.

Because I also know you should have been ambassador to the U .S. instead of

stuck here.

And I have friends in Minsk who can whisper into the right ears.

Maybe help your future prospects.

If you help me now.

You know where the bathroom is?

And I have a party to return to.

If you'll forgive me.

Well, I appreciate you taking the time. And if you do come across that name, the

offer stands.

Thank you.

Please, enjoy the party.

I hate trouble coming

Yeah. That's a good one.

Ah,

Mr. Carmichael.

To what do I owe the... Special Agent Blythe?

What's this about... How's my favorite L .A. District Attorney doing?

I'm doing great, actually. Good, good.

It's my understanding your name is on the fast track of a strong train to

Sacramento. A lot of people in Silicon Valley are talking about it. Well, I

wouldn't say that. I don't like to get involved in the day -to -day politics of

my state. That is not what I'm about. Sure, I'm the party fundraising

and I get my calls from my good friends, Adam and Nancy and Gavin, but I say to

them, politics is your domain.

I'm just the ATM you need to withdraw from every couple of years.

Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that Nathan Blythe here is a close

of mine, known him most of my life. And one thing I do know, as surely as the

sun comes up in the east, is that Nathan Blythe is protecting the citizens of

this country.

I'm sure... So what I would like to... I propose that you leave Nathan Blythe

alone. To do his job if he sees fit.

Stay out of his way.

What was it Teddy Roosevelt said?

Have?

Sense enough to pick good people to do what needs to get done, but self

-restrain enough not to meddle with them while they do it.

Show some self -restraint, and then your train can keep rolling right on down

those tracks.

Yes, of course, I agree with you.

I was only trying to offer my support to assist him in any way I can.

Oh, good. I am sure glad to hear that.

Good?

Good.

Grayson, always a pleasure.

You too.

All right, catch me up.

Well, uh...

Bell and I have been working to sort through the files from the Belarus

consulate server.

We had to wait for a secretary to arrive and fire up her computer.

But we have full access now.

And you're going to be happy.

We found an encrypted file titled Volchek. Which Shepard immediately

And it contained the following dossier.

The name Volchek is an alias for this man.

Boris Vucevic, born in Minsk, 1979.

An alias?

Yeah, he was an ordnance expert in the BGF army.

That's explosives?

Mm -hmm. Bought in Chechnya. Discharged in 06. He then found work as a middle

manager in the defense ministry until 08, when his brother died by suicide.

In 09, he went into the food service industry, where he became wealthy, as

agriculture was one of Belarus' biggest exports.

Yeah, but maybe a little too wealthy.

He married Kira Budney in 2018.

She was a beauty queen, 10 years his junior, no kids. In 2019, he was sought

after for embezzlement. Apparently, it was a U .S. businessman named Matt

Woodley who was working with the Belarusian government to expose his

And a warrant was issued for Buzovic as a rep.

The militia in Minsk discovered a plan of Volchek trying to flee the country by

private plane.

So you have already arrived?

No, my husband is not here yet. You are not Mr. Vusovic?

It was not a surprise to wait for Mr.

Vusovic here.

But the jet that Boris Vucevic and his wife were on suddenly exploded as the

police were closing in.

Now, an officer testified that he saw both of them on board before the plane

caught fire.

But who knows?

The Belarusian government believes that Vucevic staged the incident.

And he has shown up inside the United States using the alias Volchek. So this

guy embezzles a fuckton of money, he's a demolitions expert, clearly knows how

to make a bomb, and he has the resources to fake his own death.

And killed his wife in the process to help sell it?

That is exactly what we're saying, yeah.

Well, whatever he is, whoever he is, we're close to him.

I can feel it.

He's somewhere nearby.

Sir, we have an 11 a .m. briefing at Westwood.

Right. This is good work.

Let's find him.

Yeah, great. Nice work, you guys.

Thanks, man. Well, you know, we wouldn't have had any of that information if you

hadn't kicked some ass in there, so thank you.

Team effort.

It does get me thinking, though, if somebody does a deep dive on us, that

backtrack to our actual profiles.

Nishoha. I handled that the first week I was here.

Good. So, that's good. Yeah, I accept all major credit cards.

Or Venmo, if that's easier for you.

Yeah.

You want the ears? Yeah.

Should I see?

Jump in them.

Wait, that's me?

Well, yeah. A version of you.

He's white.

I'm biting my time like he's biting his tongue, but I'm eating him.

I'm sure you'll find everything's in order in the contract.

When to expect delivery?

We have

been drilling down on the name that Nietzsche saw on the map in the basement

Dancehall. We were able to find this man, Sean Killian Gallagher. How about

LK? House in Highland Park.

Relay, open up.

Look at that.
