The dancing queen.

How many dancing queens do we have out there tonight?

All right.

This is somebody. She finished the end.

Make it.

Wait.

She like woman.

She drink coffee.

She drink tea.

Then she go home.

She there?

Yeah, she's here.

And King's still inside?

He sure is.

Like a little lamb.

I want the decks cleared, cop.

Both of them unstood.

I'm lucky to some. Me, it's always a fun

one.

G -46, up to tricks.

They've got lots of them over there.

Hello there, King.

Anais.

Please, have a seat.

You have a job for me.

Yeah. Here, let me help.

This is... Gino.

and Edith Sanchez, their son Alberto.

They left El Salvador to come to the U .S.

Alberto would be 13 now.

He's five there.

I don't kill children.

What? Turn your hearing aid up.

I do adults.

I don't kill children. Yeah, no, no. They disappeared.

I was hired to find them by her father.

I just...

I need you to help me.

I mean, you're really the only person who can.

You see, I'm semi -retired now, and I'm only taking cases that mean something to

me.

What do you want, King?

Honey, do you know what acquired savant syndrome

is? No.

But I know there are men outside.

The guy that's lead by their port gates in Africa, the Middle East.

They didn't follow me.

Okay, they're going to come after me. When they do, get out of here.

Deputy Director Medina's office.

Director Medina, I have the LAPD on the phone for you. Okay. Cheers.

You're Beth Medina.

Yep.

Wait, what?

Repeat that.

Describe him, please.

He didn't share what he was working on with you?

No. I knew he put up a P .I. shingle, but we fell out of touch.

So no money problems that you're aware of?

No.

Raymond King.

He was deputy director of FinCEN.

My boss.

He said they didn't find anything on him, no wallet.

No, he might have, but it took us a little while to get there.

Things have a tendency of disappearing.

Well, how'd she know to call me?

His cell phone.

You were his in case of emergency contact.

Why do you ask if he was having money problems?

What's the difference between drafty casual and business casual?

Both mean leave your cargo shorts and flip -flops at home.

I don't own cargo shorts, and I don't own flip -flops.

Could we discuss business now? Or do you need more first -

Inago Akai want you to audit a bank before they assume control.

Thoughts? You're very conspicuous in Tokyo.

But? The Yakuza always pay on time.

Next. Senor Obregon wants to know if we want payment in cash or artwork.

What art does he have?

A Rivera he says you admired.

How much does he owe?

2 .4 million.

Rivera, of course.

Heavy sigh.

What's the remainder of the receivables?

1 .35 million.

Leo, the rest? In the New Zealand Council, in France, and the remainder in

Harbour's endowment. Under what name?

Gauss, Babbage, or Carroll?

Nash. Anything else?

Don't wear your black suit.

It makes you look like a mortician.

Love is like candy on a shelf. Well, welcome to the 13th annual Boise

Romance...

festival you all are here for one reason to make a connection meet that special

someone and find love oh p .s don't forget to pick up your free romance

t -shirt a 25 value there yeah so since most of you are first timers let's recap

how this works you answered a battery of questions designed to express your

wants needs hopes and desires We then used our proprietary mathematical

algorithm to search for your 10 best fits.

That same algorithm in 12 previous festivals has resulted in...

activity. No early online searches allowed.

You each spend five minutes per day, then unlimited time later in the day.

Oh, ladies, it's not a competition.

No, there's plenty of time to get to your first date last.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

That there's someone we're meant to be with?

A soulmate?

Oh, no, that's an absurd childish notion.

Of course that's not real.

What do you mean you reverse -engineered our algorithm?

I data -mined the top online dating apps and mapped a battery of your questions

against theirs.

And? I built my own dating algorithm.

Oh, the question of whether or not there's such a thing as love or... It's

simply an electrical neurochemical process that takes place in the brain.

up for debate.

I scraped the data clusters for the likeliest date -producing words. Wait,

-producing words?

Yes. For example, women claim to value commitment and stability, but they swipe

for dangerous and exciting.

Sexy bad boys.

How are you?

I'm doing really well.

Lori. Yeah, Lori.

nickname or short for anything?

No, it's just Laurie.

Oh. I assigned numerical values to your questions by tokenizing them in an

embedding matrix and generating a predictive model for the most effective

answers, which I provided without lying.

My last boyfriend spent every weekend golfing with his friends.

Do you spend a lot of time with your friends?

No.

I identified misleading profile photos as a top complaint across all dating

apps. Women lie about weight and age. Men lie about height and age. So I

adjusted my photo and smile accordingly.

Oh, my God.

I like camping. A lot. So do I. Yeah, I thought I saw an Airstream in one of

your photos.

Yes, that's my home.

That's where I live.

Oh, permanently.

living anywhere permanently. This is just a husk. Eventually, this body will

a corpse.

And the best part is you don't have to amend your tax return for unclaimed

depreciation, which I'm sure you know is very meaningful.

Not only does it have that unintended benefit, but the best part is that you

don't have to amend your tax return for unclaimed depreciation. And I will share

this with you, even though it's a bit of a trade secret, albeit not a

proprietary one, but the best part is that you don't have to. to amend your

return for unclaimed depreciation.

Yeah. How about something else?

Kids? You're 44?

45.

Well, I suppose anything's possible.

Oh, God.

I just mean mathematically.

You game the system?

Whole wall covered top to bottom. Damn thing you ever saw.

Maps, post -it notes, sick old photos.

Like something out of one of those let's catch us a pervert shows.

Busy little bee, wasn't he?

What did you do with this stuff?

Oh, we didn't throw it away.

Couldn't rent it like that, all those nasty photos he had.

How long was he here?

Two months. The next payment was due yesterday.

The rent, how much?

Harbor Neuroscience Academy.

Yeah, this is Deputy Director Medina, U .S. Treasury Department.

Is there a Christian Wolfe on staff?

I'm sorry, ma 'am, no.

Okay.

How about Carl Gauss or Charles Babbage, Lewis Carroll, Lou maybe?

This is Harbor Neuroscience Academy.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

Do you have any employees, maybe female, British accent?

What's this a reference to?

About a former student whose father was in the military.

The student records are sealed.

I'm the after -hours receptionist. You should probably call back tomorrow when

there's someone here who can answer that for you. I need to talk to the handler

of the account.

I know she's listening, and I know he listens to her.

Excuse me?

My name is Mary Beth Medina. I'm staring at a pile of homicide photos, maps of

Central America, Mexico, pizza receipts, and...

Pretty sure I'm staring at a photo of her boss.

I need his help.

Hanging up now.

Wait.

Ray King has been murdered.

Okay, let's see. Ten, eight, give you seven.

Ten, eight, seven. A pound?

A pound.

It's sushi -grade tuna. Oh, come on. It's not sushi -grade. Burke, it's sushi

-grade. It's bruised. There's no fat on it. It's not sushi -grade at all. Come

on. Take it or leave it.

Dickie inside.

Dickie's inside. He'll give you your money like last week and the week before

you. Yeah, yeah. Tony, come on.

Four pro -hitters.

Couldn't take out one woman.

How is that possible?

Technically two hitters. Two went after King, two took her.

Three.

Counting you.

I didn't have a clean shot.

Oh.

You think she knows we were after her instead of King?

No chance.

How do you figure?

We're above ground.

Problem solved.

By your own logic, if she wanted to kill you, she would have.

Relax, boss.

She don't remember you.

Yet.

The fuck does that mean?

She showed up a couple of years ago.

The three men I was negotiating with had pissed off the wrong people.

So let's talk about our success.

Your ships, my boats.

20 miles out to sea.

No... Los Angeles port.

Just... And

she

didn't recognize you?

No.

But one day she'll remember who I am and what I did.

And my whole world turns to shit.

You fly to Fort Worth tonight.

No more Ray Kings.

Okay. No more private investigators.

I don't want to get out of the shower one day and find a human chainsaw

for me.

I coughed loudly twice.

No, please don't do that.

You're Christian Wolfe.

You're Mary Beth Medina.

Did I make you nervous?

You're an escaped convict, trained by mob accountants, your clients are drug

cartels, money launderers, third world warlords.

Is that a yes?

I saw a video of you killing men in Brooklyn.

I was in Chicago eight years ago.

Was Ray?

Living robotics. I saw all the dead bodies, heard the chanting.

Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday. What can I do for you, Miss Medina?

Do you like puzzles, Mr. Wolf?

I don't know if this is one case or ten.

I do know Ray was nearly broke.

I found that photo in between the seat cushions at the tavern Ray was at the

night he was killed.

Three men were also shot to death inside the tavern, one struck by a car

outside.

All... Ex -Chilean Special Forces Lautaro Brigade. Was Ray capable of

No, he was not.

Dmitri Yashchenko.

Throat slit in a Moscow hotel.

Moshe Yitz. Car bomb.

Jerusalem. We haven't ID'd the rest.

Armando Reyes. Mexico City.

Rosanna Arnal. Istanbul.

Santino Sambieri.

Naples.

Must have been quite the fall.

The fall didn't kill him.

It was the abrupt stop for him.

Why

are

you helping me?

Because you asked me.

Okay, so we've got four dead mercs in the morgue, homicides,

tax returns, Mexico,

train schedule, pizza, fish, family photo,

and trashed Toyota.

So...

What are you doing?

Waiting.

For? Well, for you to finish.

Finish what?

You might seek medical attention for the snoring problem.

Coffee?

I don't snore, so...

Nothing's

where it was.

Well, your brain, most brains, when confronted with... Ambiguous visual data

seek subconsciously to arrange it in a pattern that's familiar, but that's not

the pattern we're looking for here.

Right.

Okay.

What pattern are we looking for?

Survival probability.

They started here,

Central America.

Okay.

His tattoo, Barrio 18, Izalco Prison, El Salvador.

They're at war with MS -13.

When they reached the border of Mexico, they boarded this train.

No, that's a freight train, not a passenger train. It's the death train.

Families ride on the roof, not in the cars. It's the surest way to avoid

immigration checkpoints. When they arrived at Mexico City, they would have

typically headed to one of three areas to cross into Texas and the United

States. El Paso, the Rio, and McAllen. In this case, they crossed the Rio

and McAllen.

Why McCallum? A gallon of water weighs eight pounds. A human being requires

between one and a half and two gallons of water a day to survive in the desert.

That's 36 to 48 pounds a person not carrying a five -year -old has to carry.

Here's her son at five. In this photograph, he looks to be about 13.

Edith arrived in Los Angeles and claimed to work at Studios Pizza.

Hold on.

Edith? Edith Sanchez.

No, you can't possibly know that...

This woman in the photo is the same Edith Sanchez on these 1040s. Yes, it's

certainty. She claimed one dependent, a child. Of the three 1040s she filed, two

had incomes of roughly $15 ,000, a third was $60 ,250.

That's twice as much in one year than the previous two combined.

Yes, that's not the strangest part. She checked married but filed separately.

Had she filed jointly, she could have taken advantage of the child and

care exemption.

Four times as much money in the third year, checks married, files separately,

has a child and no child care.

A list of raised clients over the last 18 months shows six names, only one with

a Latino surname, Emiliano Emi Gonzalez, Fort Worth, Texas.

So if Emi was Edith's father, why didn't you call

for help?

I had no way of knowing that. Do you have any influence at the IRS?

eye on the loading dock.

What's with the muscle?

You don't spend much time in Los Angeles, do you?

I'm not a fan of getting pistol whipped and robbed.

No, I don't remember any Edith.

Sorry, can't help you.

Jeanette, what do you got?

Why would an employee not take all the exemptions she's eligible for?

Because she's dumb?

Because she doesn't look like you?

Neither one.

I don't see people as legal or illegal. I see them as human beings, and I give

them a chance.

Anything else?

No, sir. Thanks for your time.

You're welcome.

Two -thirds of your business is takeout, correct?

Got my tax reports, huh?

You people.

That's right.

Two -thirds.

Ask me anything.

Unit costs, payroll, promotions.

You name it, I know where every dime goes.

Last year's earnings before interest taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

42 .9 mil.

Do you claim 41 .9 million?

Keep reading, E .F. Hutton.

A million in charitable contributions to homeless shelters.

Let's go. Setting aside the amateur nature of this preparation...

Considering you could have deducted considerably more from your taxable

what is the most frequently ordered size of pizza?

Large, 90%. Large pizza is $17 .35, which accounts for 1 ,484 ,315 large

What's your point?

Your paper costs $360 ,000, which only accounts for 900 ,000 large pizza boxes.

You are making my head hurt. It's considerably less than the

,484 ,315 large pizzas. Right, that's because we do it by the slice. By the

slice, no, impossible.

You're fraudulently claiming more income than you're receiving in order to

conceal income from another source. What is it?

Fucking rodent. Now wait just a second. I take time out of my busy day to answer

your silly ass questions and you got the balls to accuse me of money laundering?

You're laundering money. Where is it coming from?

Federal agents, stay back. Everything's fine. You're washing money.

Tell me where it's coming from or I'll dislocate your shoulder.

It's quite painful. Chris, that's enough.

I told you. Oh, fuck.

I don't traffic those girls.

I swear to God, I get a call. I get a call. The cash comes in. I know where

use the motel or two.

Who's them? I don't know. Ask one of the girls. What motel?

City center downtown.

Who's your contact?

Please, no. Who's your contact?

Who's your contact? You should go.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

I feel that's not really your question. You know, I work for a government

agency. I don't torture people.

You didn't.

I'm the deputy director of FinCEN, so I can't... I know. I put you there.

You know, a British woman calls and gives me tips.

So criminals, which is what you are, give law enforcement, that's me, tips

day. If by tips you mean names, dates, acts, account numbers, routing numbers,

yes, I give you tips.

You know, I'm not like you.

I can't just break the law when it suits me.

No more violence.

I need to take what he gave us and work our way up the chain. That's how this is

done.

Maybe the bureau has an agent in this office they can spare.

I may know someone.

Hello?

Hey, Margaret.

It's Margaret.

Hey.

Fucking come on. Hi, Margaret. It's Braxton.

Hello. Hi.

Hello, Margaret.

Fucking stop. Okay. Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Margaret, it's Braxton.

Two weeks.

This is 14 days in the life.

In his life.

You know what his name is?

It's Craig.

He's my Craig.

He is mine.

Want a bottle?

I can, I can, I can, I can, I can connect.

Come on.

Margaret, it's Braxton.

Yeah, me again. You, uh, you got me there, Margaret. Listen, I, uh, you

was thinking about our last conversation and I have gone ahead and decided that

I'm going to swing on through and pick up the pup on Thursday.

Yeah, nope. We need eight weeks. No, you made that abundantly clear, Margaret.

Nope, and I'm fully aware it's only been six. But, you know, a corgi is an

enormously smart dog, Margaret.

Fair enough. I'm just not sure that I'm able to wrap my head around the logic of

building a bond between a puppy and its mother.

When it's literally never going to see the mother again, right? I mean, why not

take that precious two weeks and build a bond between the owner and its pup when

they're going to spend the rest of their lives together?

Well, no, but that's where the bottle feeding component comes in.

Jesus.

Yeah, you really... You're yelling at me, Margaret.

See you in two weeks.

Yep. Perfect.

Bye -bye.

Fuck you!

So

tell

me about you. What do you do when you're not doing whatever it is you do?

What are your hobbies?

Like, I don't know, you bake or you fish?

No? You don't fish?

No? You like to read, maybe?

You garden?

Movies.

What's your favorite?

Wizard of Oz.

Oz.

Want to hear a little Oz fun fact?

Want a little dog, Toto?

It's real name was Terry.

Terry the dog.

Terry the dog, man.

125 bucks a week on Oz.

You know what the little people made? Played the munchkins?

50 bucks.

Is that a travesty of justice or what?

Sometimes I like to think about those little people, you know?

Put yourself in their shoes, but they sat around with their little people

friends looking at Terry this motherfucker You know this guy's making

much as we are I remember Terry doing any song dance numbers to you

I know it's you. You can't tell from the tone of my voice that I know it's you.

Oh, well, you sound hostile.

What do you want?

I need your help. Ah, goodbye.

Baxton?

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

You just... Mother...

Last time that I did help you, it nearly cost me my career. Are you aware of

that? You sound angry at me? Why?

Yes, you're goddamn right I'm angry. I'm angry because year after year, I call.

It's always me reaching out, and it's never you. And now, just out of the

you call. And why? Because what? You need my help?

How about just calling? How about just calling to shoot the shit?

Hey, man, how you doing? How have you been?

Merry Christmas. Happy birthday, V. What about that one?

That's not your birthday. Birthday's November 11th. Ah, you dumb dumb.

fucking point what I'm... What do you want?

Can you be in Los Angeles, California in 24 hours?

Bacton?

Hello?

Bacton?

Please don't hurt me.

I'm sorry.

Why would you say that to me? What have I done to you?

Have I done anything at all that would give you the idea that I would do

something to hurt you? Why would you say that to me?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Makes two of us. Try to have a conversation.

You kind of suck as a conversationalist. I mean, I know there's a language

barrier, but holy shit, it's not so fucking confusing what I'm saying to

Can't seem to find an office chair I like.

They're all so uncomfortable, you know?

You know, actually, it's not the chair.

I think maybe it's what you said about putting me there.

I don't feel like I've earned the job.

Maybe you need more lumbar support.

Costco has an excellent line of chairs that support the lower back. Never mind.

So is your brother up to speed on the case?

Yes.

When was the last time you saw him?

Eight years ago in Chicago.

Younger brother?

I'm two years older than Braxton.

He doesn't...

Is there something wrong? He's just often very angry at me for no reason.

It's fine.

Well, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.

I get it. I have a sibling, too.

Maybe thank him for coming to help.

Tell him how glad you are to see him.

It's just been my experience that people want to be appreciated, you know?

Oh, that's him.

Hello, Braxton.

This is pretty.

Who are you?

I am Mary Beth Medina, Deputy Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement.

Fed, you suffer a stroke.

You're upset.

We're working together, so whatever profession you're in, I currently have

interest. Currently, huh?

Hey, gosh, that's great to hear.

Talk to you for a second.

So it's been a minute.

Yeah.

Eight years.

Two months. That's right.

You look good, Chris.

I think so, too. I.

Baxton, thank you for coming. I'm really glad you're here.

Did you say that?

Well, just Raxton should we go over the plan again? What are you doing?

We'll just take a piss, yeah?

Okay, and then we'll talk about the plan.

Care what they look like? Nah.

How many?

I'll send them up.

Appreciate it.

All righty.

My time's money, right?

Yes, I've heard that.

I'll send you an invoice.

Okay, fair.

See how fair you think it is when you get the bill there, hot shot.

Oh, it's okay. I'm sure I can afford it.

I'm sure I can have her a date.

Braxton.

Braxton. Braxton, don't repeat me. Braxton, don't repeat me. Braxton.

You know I don't like Braxton. I'm asking you nicely.

Braxton. All right,

go.

Just go stand over there, all right?

Don't be scary.

Let me do the talking.

Ladies.

Hola, papi.

Hola.

Make yourself at home.

Hola, hola.

Hola. Hello.

You must be the wild one, huh? Well, if you don't rearrange the furniture, you

say okay.

Let's just get this over with now. Gracias, mi amor.

De nada, de nada.

Gracias. Thank you, ladies.

Me and my friend here, we were just talking.

So maybe you can settle something for us.

Now, what happens? You walk into a room like this.

Two guys sitting here, right, waiting for you.

What happens if things turn bad?

Now, look, it's not us. We're as tame as a tulip, okay? I'm just wondering, what

happens if somebody puts their hands on you in a way you don't like?

Maybe we don't let you leave.

I imagine there's somebody you call in a situation like that, right? Somebody

whose job it is to show up here.

Make sure you guys are okay.

Now, I want to be completely clear. I'm not interested in names here. I could

care less what his name is. Just what would it take for me to get that certain

somebody to show up here?

No, no, no, no, shh, shh, shh. It's okay, it's okay. No, no, no, no, shh,

shh. It's okay, it's okay. No, no, no, no, shh, shh. It's okay, it's okay. No,

no, no, no, shh, shh. It's okay, it's okay. No, no, no, no, shh, shh. It's

it's okay. No, no, no, no, shh, shh. It's okay, it's okay. No, no, no, no,

shh. It's okay, it's okay.

No, no, no, no, shh, shh.

It's okay, it's okay.

That's your money. You take it.

Thank you, ladies.

It'll take a lot more than this to get away from those people.

Okay. Okay.

Come on, mister. I can afford to pay the lady.

I'm risking my life.

There we go.

The boss is real mean.

Understood.

Aren't you gonna hurt him?

Would you... Would you like us to?

They won't let us leave.

Okay.

It

looked

like...

Thank you.

I don't have kids.

Hey, it's Mary Beth. What do you got for me?

Draft cam footage.

Sharing my screens with you now.

Only two camera angles in that area.

King enters.

He's inside 45 minutes.

Figure gunshots here.

Police stampedes.

Nothing.

Shooter could be anybody.

It's 90 seconds later.

Um, any luck calling Emiliano Gonzalez, guy on Ray's client list?

It is father.

Yes and no.

Gonzalez residence.

Is Emiliano Gonzalez there?

He isn't, no.

Mr. Gonzalez has reported his daughter and young family missing.

seven years ago.

What happened to him?

Cartels kidnap migrants for ransom or for sale to traffickers.

And if they can't ransom or sell?

You get this.

Gina Sanchez.

Got my fucking bitches, asshole.

Full disclosure, assholes.

Mariela! He's just in the back getting freshed up. Mariela!

Hey, come on, man. We got Wi -Fi and everything.

Come on in. Mariela!

I guess

I hit him harder than I thought.

Was it like, eh, get my shit?

fucking mind what are we kidnappers now kidnapping that's pretty harsh isn't it

really uh we detained him no question uh no we have no right to detain anyone

this man may know who killed ray king do you want to know what he knows or not

if the cops stop me if they search the trunk what then genius hello

dreamboat do you have my location

I need green lights from here to Victory Boulevard. And please call in a fake

robbery 10 blocks south of here to distract the police until Mary Beth gets

safely home to the Airbnb.

Damn. Anything else?

I need to know who Ray King was meeting with.

Okay. Pretty good, no?

It's okay.

Go eat something?

Taco Bell. There we go.

Good morning, boys and girls.

Who wants to brute force the city of Los Angeles?

We have Chris and his friend joining us remotely this morning.

They would like us to find and identify a person of interest.

Let's prepare to examine all traffic and security cameras.

Okay, so I've been looking at the footage Homeland sent.

Ray goes in, comes out 45 minutes later.

We don't even know for sure if he was there to meet anyone at all.

Why don't we just get that Tomas guy to tell us where Cobb's at?

And how are we going to do that exactly?

If you just take out his eye, right? You show it to him.

And then you just say you're going to take the other one out unless he starts

talking. It works every time. It's like a 10 out of 10.

Nobody wants to be blind, right?

You show them the one eye, they know you're serious. Secure link is active.

Good morning.

I've warmed up the orchestra.

We are looking for your person now.

Finding footage from the day of the incident.

Isolating street cameras.

Look, my guy at Homeland, he has a doctorate in computer science from

He can access every database you can name and some you can't.

There were only two cameras recording that night. I'm sure the kids at Harvard

are bright, but we are wasting time.

Oh, look.

Here are the other cameras you were looking for, Deputy Director Medina.

You can unmute your mic now.

Everyone take a feed and look for anything suspicious between 8 and 10 p

Lane, let's see the front entrance, post -gunfire.

Aidan, what's happening in the back?

Look for any behavior that doesn't match the situation.

Go back.

Zoom in on the front door.

Reverse.

That is our person of interest.

She's not hurrying.

She's not afraid.

Let's find her before she arrived.

Check every alley and street.

Cover four square blocks around Vermont and 19th.

She's hiding her face.

She knows where the cameras are.

Miles, reverse.

Pink jacket is taking a selfie.

Let's get that photo.

There's no way they can zoom in on our phone screen from that angle.

They don't have to. They'll identify the woman, find likely passwords, hack into

the phone, and email a selfie.

Yeah, okay, sure.

Heavy sigh.

Would you like to bring the normie up to speed, Chris?

That's what I would do.

Run facial scan for ID, please. I got it. I got it.

Chris, Lane and Charles are going head to head for this one.

Hello, Pat.

Let's get to know each other.

Iowa, birthplace of the world's first computer.

Let's pay PAMS a visit.

Aiden, that zip code is serviced by Midwest Power and Energy.

Renting from the utility company, they'll jump to an unsecured printer on

network or a smart thermostat.

Who are these kids?

My people.

There are more of us than you think, Deputy Director Medina.

Skye, we need the password to the smart home network.

Good morning, Iowa.

Good morning, Pam.

Let's not let Pam get comfortable.

This isn't right.

Lane, get her out of that chair, and let's go find that photo.

Miles, have that page ready when she comes back.

Charles, get into her photo library.

We can't do this.

Tell her to stop.

Chris, please explain to the normie we need to finish what we've started.

Red light.

Aidan, your turn.

Green light.

Tell her to stop.

Here she comes. Red light.

Lane, let the neighbors hear that TV.

All that butter.

All that butter.

A little bit of salt.

Stop now.

Chris, enough.

Stop.

Tell her to stop.

Stop this now.

Uh -uh -uh.

Here's her selfie.

Agent email photo.

It actually takes the sweetness. Oh, I love that.

That, my friend, is an Iowan response.

Sky, get us out.

Running into pole facial recognition.

It looks like she was the last person to speak to Ray, but she doesn't want to

be found.

Goodbye, dreamboat.

Why would Ray meet with someone who killed all these people to find a mother

child?

She didn't kill all those people.

I'm just saying she definitely didn't kill that one or that one right there.

How do you know that?

Just kind of throwing it out there, that's all.

Just a hunch.

Educated guess.

That's all it is, really.

He has no way of knowing.

Yeah.

It's hypothetical.

Stop talking. Okay.

Regardless. Oh, fuck no.

I... Do you often confess to capital murder?

I actually didn't say anything. You know what I mean?

I literally made a gesture. Does that bother you? Goodbye.

That's it. I'm out.

Okay. One moment, Mary Beth. Please, for a time, one thing that you may want to

consider is some of those men whose pictures were on the wall may not have

killed were likely very unsavory characters. It doesn't fucking matter if

they're unsavory.

We don't...

who lives and who dies. Apparently I do.

The law is what separates us from people like him.

It's been a pleasure and an honor. I hope we get to work with each other

You take care and stay safe.

We have a problem. Is it the man in the trunk?

It is. Sounds like you got a problem. Remove him, please.

And do it with him.

I'm going to the state's attorney general.

Sure, I'm glad it's not my car.

You know what? I made a mistake calling you.

Okay, I'm going to do this myself.

Buy the book. No more lying. No more breaking the law.

Tell the Brit no more tips.

And don't be here when I get back. If I see either of you again, I'll have you

arrested.

Ms. Gutierrez, I'm confused.

The only thing that my client is guilty of is coming to the aid of a young lady

in distress, after which he was attacked, beaten, and kidnapped.

But instead of pursuing these men, you hold this Cobb individual over my

client's head? Threaten him with prison time amidst accusations of human

trafficking? In what... bizarro legal world do you imagine getting a grand

indictment? Funny.

Exactly what Ike Sudio's lawyer said when I offered the same plea deal to his

client. I do not know Mr. Sudio. Looks like your client does.

Now, what you don't see are the bite marks on Sudio's tongue and the rat.

It went into his mouth when both were still alive.

Now, this is just a hunch.

I'm guessing Ike was more important than a pimp.

What do you think they'll do to you?

Okay, we're done here.

I should note, Mr. Studio's attorney is missing.

I'd watch the fucking money, man.

Money made from human trafficking?

Most are from Central America, Mexico.

Like drugs, only better.

A good earner lasts five, six years.

Mostly women.

On their backs, in the fields, scrubbing toilets.

Some men picking melons, slaughterhouse kill floors.

Any job in America won't fucking do in a machine cat.

Recognize him?

No.

This was taken eight years ago.

Oh, yeah.

Bitch had worked a good man to death.

She threw down a few times, but she was too quiet, so didn't make work, mainly.

Her name is Edith.

Where is she?

She T -boned a car outside a parking garage on Alvarado four, five years ago.

So she's dead.

Oh, heard she went through the windshield, though.

Two second hand for us. What hospital?

Fuck what I know. She had a father in Texas. Why wouldn't you go to him for

help? Ask him.

We're asking you.

You put everything on the record, you'll get immunity in exchange for your

testimony.

Last chance.

Give me the fucking...

reported accidents within the garage in the last five years. None serious.

None on that level.

What street did the garage exit out to?

Alvarado. 32 accidents within a mile radius.

Three with serious bodily injuries.

Did any of those involve a vehicle exiting the garage?

One. Injuries?

One. Critical.

An unidentified woman. Sole occupant. Hospital?

University Medical Center.

Vehicle? Ugh. Toyota Camry.

Color?

Blue.

Explore the medical center's patient files.

I don't have kids.

Thank God for that.

What?

What? The woman at the hotel says that I don't have kids.

Yeah, I remember, man.

Gotta let it go already.

Well, I'm saying, why is that significant? Why is being a mother

Man, I don't think you and I are really authorities on the importance of

motherly love. I hate to tell you.

This is it, huh?

Living on a lunchbox.

It's quite comfortable.

So is the Four Seasons.

Our house.

Cheap like Pop Tedder and Bark in the Tree, aren't you?

He wasn't cheap. He was frugal. He was frugal? Yes.

Bullshit. Seven t -shirts, seven pairs of underwear and socks.

It's all I need.

A grown man wearing a Timex. He was fucking pathetic. Look at that.

See that?

Yes. It's worth more than he made in a year. What do you think he'd say about

this? He'd say it at the same time on his watch.

He probably would, wouldn't he?

Are you happy, Braxton?

Am I happy?

Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, man, of course I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be happy?

You're transient.

You have no significant other. You're completely alone. No friends or nothing.

We talking about me or we talking about you?

You ever thought about why I'm alone, Chris?

Because you're abrasive or selfish or why you swear to us. I'm alone because I

want to be alone. I choose to be alone.

I don't have anybody that I got to answer to, you know, check in with.

Like, I travel the world. I stay at five -star hotels. I do what I want when I

want it. Have gun, will travel, motherfucker. I mean, yeah.

Shit, yeah, I'm happy. I'm fucking happy. Bet your ass I'm happy.

I'd like to have someone check in on me.

Yeah? Yes. Well, get a dog.

Do you have a dog? I'm getting a dog.

Look at this.

Yeah.

That's Greg.

I'm convincing.

What do you mean unconvincing? It's Greg.

I'm getting this dog.

Well, you like the idea of a dog. Anybody who has a dog likes the idea of

getting a dog. It's why they got the dog in the first place.

Do you have a permanent residence?

No. Anyone to care for your dog during long absences? I do not. Do you keep a

regular schedule in terms of eating, sleeping? No, I don't. You're a cat

There's nothing wrong with that.

Well, you know something? If I had a cat, at least the cat would miss me.

Doubtful.

Possible.

Chris, is it because of you or because of me?

What? That you like.

What?

I don't understand. You don't.

You just, like, don't, like, like, miss me. Like, is that because of you or me?

I spent years looking for you.

I was just trying to track you down, but you don't look for me at all.

And I finally find you.

You know, I was there. I saved your life.

And you said that you would come and find me. You said you would come and

me soon. And then you just disappeared again, I guess.

I had my phone number.

I guess what I'm asking you, man, is like...

Do you not miss me because of me or is it because of your, like, my what?

You know, your condition.

How are you doing?

I'm tying sunscreen. My lower extremity is fixed as 100 SPF. I had more than

four sunburns in my childhood.

So we're more than twice as likely to develop melanoma than adults. Can I get

little bit of this? Yeah, sure. Thanks.

You know I don't like that.

That's not funny, Braxton.

Oh, it's so funny.

It's so funny.

You know what I think?

I think we gotta go get drunk.

Come on, man.

Let's go get drunk.

Okay.

I don't know if it's exactly what I had in mind, you know? I mean, it's L .A.

To me, that means nightclubs, ballets, velvet ropes, douchebags everywhere.

Not really a honky -tonk type town, you know?

I don't know, I just never took you for, like, a country -western kind of guy,

but it's cool. I mean, I guess you pretend to be an ordinary accountant,

pretend to be a cowboy tonight, right?

Huh? No, yes, okay.

What do you mean, no, yes, okay?

Are we having a conversation here, Chris?

By the way, as far as the whole cowboy thing, I think the four scum shoes,

they're a bit of a misfire, but... Well... Well, what?

Um... Hey, now.

Hello. The band's looking for requests.

Is there a song you like, handsome?

Yeah. I guess I'm good with, like, Alan Jackson, something like that. Tell him

that'll do me just fine, sweetheart.

Okay, slow down. Night moves.

I was asking him.

I'm Angie.

Hello, Angie. My name is Chris.

What's your favorite tune, Chris?

My favorite song is Appalachian Spring by Copland.

Second favorite?

In this context, yes.

Metallica, Intercendment.

I don't think that's in their wheelhouse.

Maybe you should ask someone more familiar with the band's capabilities.

there why'd you why'd you go down like that it was working i mean we're

to say just say you picked you know saying that's just what my favorite song

i'm just as shocked as you are but she liked you that's why she came here i

don't know it was like a mating call i mean how do you not see what she was it

doesn't my brain doesn't work that way braxton

I mean, it seemed like you were seeing it and she was seeing it. It was just,

you made her smile.

I mean, I don't know what the fucking first thing you said, but the Metallica

thing, I mean, it was funny.

She was, I don't know, like cute or something like that, but it definitely

her smile.

I think maybe you don't give yourself enough credit. You just like sort of,

yeah, dude, I mean,

I don't know, Tess, where are you going?

That was some dancing.

Light on your feet, big man.

Thank you. Yes, I'm a beginner. It's my first time.

Wasn't a compliment, Hoss. Jerry, don't start.

Hey. Hey.

Nice forward, son. That's not kind.

Hey, I don't think you heard me.

Look at me when I'm fucking talking to you. Hey.

Hey, come on. You're in cowboy country?

Oh, I see. We don't mess with another man's girl down here. You're from

Glendale, Gerald, and I'm not your girl. It's okay. My brother wasn't having a

good time tonight, but now he will.

Okay. me jerry well your brother can get it too oh good your face is like an

anus swing at me jerry oh no khaki pants here wants to scrap oh goodness

gracious i can hit him hey get him jerry

Sorry, it was Miss... Deputy Director Medina.

Patient files, past and present, require a subpoena. I'm quite sure you know

that, Miss Medina. Yes, I do. A woman and her child disappeared eight years

Now they're either dead or living a nightmare.

Look, could you just do this for me, please? I really need your help, and I

just... Yeah, and I need a court order to do so. Now, I'm sorry.

Harbor Neuroscience.

The Harbor Neuroscience?

Treasury and Harbor have partnered to support health care professionals who

with individuals possessing unique abilities.

Define support.

There we go.

Jane Doe, 636.

Five years ago. Skull fracture, jaw, ribs, left arm broken.

Extensive facial injuries as a result of an auto accident.

Delirious in and out of consciousness when she arrived.

Said something about being attacked by somebody.

Prior to reconstructive surgery, she was exposed to neurorehabilitation

strategies I designed to treat individuals with extensive brain trauma.

How extensive?

A nearly total loss of memory.

I played top boards in college.

If Jane ever played, she didn't remember how.

That's three days later.

Acquired savant syndrome.

So rare some neurologists doubt it exists.

But you don't.

Victims of blunt force trauma can, on extremely rare occasions, exhibit

extraordinary outcomes.

A woman who's never played piano fractures her skull in the fall.

Masters Rukmaninov in a day.

A baseball fan takes a 90 -mile -per -hour foul ball to the head and wakes to

discover he can learn a foreign language in an afternoon.

How is that possible?

Their brains, for lack of a better word, are rewired, unlocking hidden

abilities, abilities that at least theoretically we all possess.

And Jane's talent was chess?

No, not exactly.

The brain injury Jane suffered lit up her frontal and parietal cortex.

Those areas responsible for pattern recognition, problem solving, critical

thinking, the same areas of the brain chess masters rely on.

Caveat is their ability to start and stop with chess.

Jane Doe, they didn't.

Acquired savant syndrome would explain the exponential acceleration of her

ability to decode and assimilate information, the hand -eye coordination,

What it doesn't explain is why her memory was all but erased.

Or the personality change.

My theory?

The trauma that rewired her brain also unplugged any unnecessary neural

networks.

Unnecessary for?

Survival.

The brain's frontal lobes are also where our fight or flight decisions are made.

I think the appeal of chess wasn't strategy, but combat.

I don't know what Jane's life was like prior to the accident, but whoever she

was when they brought her in

wasn't the same person who

left.

Over the following months, she became increasingly isolated, aggressive.

Until one night, she beat a security guard unconscious, took his gun,

and disappeared.

You said her memory was all but erased. Did she retain any memory of her life

before the accident? Family, kids, anything?

Yeah, I asked her that exact question multiple times. Only once did she come

with something.

Let's go back over family.

Any memory of children or a husband?

Pop, go some weasel.

So, should we order in some dinner?

Discuss the grant? Next steps?

The applications are in my car.

We'll be right back.

You're asking me to divulge the identity of a woman who may or may not be under

my employment.

I know she works for us, Batu.

And you know this how?

At those jobs I turned down.

I just, just want to talk to her, that's all.

Talk to her?

Why?

It's a family thing.

Don't tell me.

The one man I terminate for free minus one very inconvenient fact.

I know. He's my brother.

No. He might kill all my killers.

Go on to bed.

Tell me that engine of destruction isn't with you now. No, sir, he is not.

Because the last time you had a family thing, it nearly ruined me.

Makes two of us.

Since you're in Los Angeles... Yeah?

We have a new client who's in -house here that isn't getting a job done.

Sending a photo now.

Instructions to follow only if you engage.

I will let you know soon if I need your services.

Pinson Juarez.

Juarez. Why Juarez?

I don't have kids.

I don't have kids.

Why didn't Edison just call a father?

Negative.

I was afraid for you.

Afraid it would hurt you.

Medina's at the Airbnb.

Call her, then the police.

Is that wise? You're an escaped convict from a federal penitentiary.

Anything else?

We found Edith Sanchez.

Ray King wasn't murdered because he was looking for Edith.

He was murdered because he found her.

Call Mary Beth now.

Tell her I'm on my way. And we need to find Edith's son, Alberto.

She's being held as a prisoner in Juarez.

Okay, Chris.

Understood.

Hello? Someone's coming to kill you.

Mary Beth?

Hello?

Hello? Drop it!

Drop it!

Turn around.

I'm a federal agent. Big mistake.

Only if your name is not Mary Beth Medina.

Down on your knees.

Now!

I'm losing

I think your child is a prisoner in a compound in Juarez.

To tell her not to try and kill her. Someone intervened in the head.

An extraordinarily lethal someone.

The contracts are in force until the target is dead or the client succeeds.

Go to Juarez.

Take those kids into the desert.

I want them dead and buried.

No trace.

Nothing to tie me to them.

Think you can handle that?

Yeah, Bert.

Yeah, I can handle that.

You show up in Juarez and then what? How are you even going to find these kids?

Not your concern. You can leave.

Christ's sake, how many times do I got to tell you what happened to Medina was

not my fault, all right? She said she wanted nothing to do with us. I just...

took her at her word.

She has a punctured lung, ruptured spleen, and a fractured jaw. So don't

edible arrangement.

How many times?

How many times do I have to do it? How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I

don't know. You haven't said it one time.

He's so full of shit.

All this is about is about the goddamn kid in the picture, right? You think

like you. Yes. He's alone in Juarez.

How do you know that? How do you know he's like you?

You're so weird, Chris. You get these ideas in your head and you're just

God, David, you know how exhausting it is? My entire life I've had to clean

after the weird kid. You know that? I'm not weird. Oh, you're not weird? Every

fucking time we move, we go to a new town and you show up with your fits.

You're rocking the super Solomon Grundy bullshit.

Then I got to beat somebody's ass because they put their hands on you. No,

like the fight. I ain't the goddamn point.

The point is I always get your fucking back, Chris. I get your back. You ever

say thank you?

Wow.

Thank you for getting my back.

Thank you. You are the best goddamn brother.

What are you doing?

God damn it. What? You just got to leave?

Fuck. You know what? I want to go to Juarez.

My drone's not responding.

I lost the feed.

Field trip! Follow them! Get on the bus!

Let's go!

Everybody out!

Found it?

We found it.

How far?

Eleven minutes.

Okay. We'll wait till dark and then we'll go in. Can you kill the lights?

Yes, but it won't matter.

Why not?

The children will be dead before it's dark.

Braxton. Yeah.

Thank you.

Get them all out! Hey! All the kids on the bus! Field trip!

No way.

It's okay.

Let's

go,

yeah?

Who's that?

Hey, Chris, stop the bus. What? Stop the bus, man. Just... Open the door.

Open the door, Dick, don't.

You want to come over with me?

Chris.

Hey.

Hey.

Look at her.

Yeah.

Are you going to be mine?

As I suspected.

What do you think, man? What should I call her?

Huh? That's a... Is that male?

Captain.

Matthew Donetsk, owner of the largest kill squad in Europe.

I'm sorry, you have me confused with someone else.

52 years old, born in Nizhny Novgorod, Russian -Romanian -Mongol descent.

Seven years in the prison known as the Black Dolphin, married four times, one

child by a mistress.

Would you like me to tell you the mileage on your Bentley?

What can I do for you?

Terminate the contract on Mary Beth Medina.

Why would I do that?

Let me tell you a story.

Costa Rica.

Write it down.

How about you do your fucking job and stick to the contract?

You said the contract would stay in place until that treasury bitch was

Or until you expired.

Correct? Well, I am very much alive.

Consider it done.

Good.

When?

Momentarily, sir.

Goodbye.

Gentlemen. Hello.

How are you?

This is the deputy director.

Doing okay? Yeah, doing pretty good.

Harbor Neuroscience Academy.

Deputy Director Medina, U .S. Treasury.

Ma 'am, I don't think you're calling who you think you are.

I think I am.

I know you can hear me.

I just wanted to say thank you.

Ray found Edith, but you and Chris helped me solve the rest of the puzzle.

Ray would be grateful.

And so am I.

Second Edith.

Come on, let's go Miles.

Let's go.

Yeah.

He's a child.

I'm a man. You're a man.

He's a kid. That's a cat. Who cares?

The point is, we're supposed to be taking turns. He's been holding my cat

the last hour and a half, Chris.

When's it my turn?

How much longer?

Alberto, ¿cuánto falta hasta harbor?

1 ,247 ,000.

Oh, 1 ,247 ,000. It's amazing. It's amazing how he can just come up with

but he can't figure out how long it takes to give somebody else a turn

the damn cat.

It's like a freaking genius.

Just out of idle curiosity, what are your plans after we drive up Alberto

Harbor? My plans?

I don't know. Do you think, well, I made a reservation at an RV park at the

Chattahoochee for after we drive up Alberto.

I thought we could go hiking there.

You made a reservation?

It's just an idea.

And what, we'd stay in the Airstream?

I think it'll be fun.

I think it might be fun too.

But the shiii -
