Original subtitles

Previously on Kroc.

I met her yesterday at the blackjack table.

You? Yeah.

I'd like to have you with me.

Department of Labor just found underage workers. We need talking points.

Damage control strategy.

I can destroy Lance Duran. With the evidence you gave me on his drive, I can

destroy the whole fucking system.

We just want to holler at you about Raymond Price.

He got shot last week over the gardens. I can't give you no names, but I can

give you some initials.

Look, I am telling you, I don't know nobody named TK.

Sick motherfucker.

The feds are in the casino. They're not going to find him. You said no one's

life is more important than the mission. That was your rule. And now you want to

break it?

We bathe you with plants to caress you and put you to sleep.

We start with the sadness of loneliness.

It's warm to have you in front of you and make you

smile.

I would give anything for being so beautiful,

for always being here.

I want to give you a...

Hispanic male, age 33.

He has multiple tattoos.

The largest tattoo is a chest piece.

Dark -haired, young woman surrounded by flowers.

Maybe a saint.

Entry wound, angle of the bullet, and tissue damage indicate shot was fired at

point -blank range.

Flipping around the entry went along with blowback and GSR on the right hand.

Supports strong possibility that the wound would have self -reflected.

Object okay.

We'll have the curtain within seconds.

Yeah.

Back on you.

Take a bow with the light of the faith. See me now.

I'm loud and proud.

And to those who fear, leave them to hate.

What a pity to...

Shoot the messenger, you don't get the news.

Fuck, Bobby, why are you in my place?

Well, I've got a question for you.

I drank quite, and I just need to see you.

Just need to see you on set.

You found something?

Yes, ma 'am.

Show me.

I'm all ready to wait.

I needed the ledgers for Bad Religion.

Just keep watching.

Oh.

That's not me.

That's funny.

It sure looked like you.

It's not. It's a deep fake.

It's a deep fake. People do that, especially my people.

Yeah, but why would they want to do that to you?

Because there's this thing that's coming to light, right? It's a program.

They don't want people to know about it. They're trying to fucking pin it all on

me.

So you're saying you had nothing to do with it? I did. I... No.

I didn't. I sold...

untreatable guns and vetted soldiers for a study.

But I sure as hell didn't fucking know anything about whatever the hell this

We can prove it.

Can your guy remove my face?

I mean, if we can see who's under there, we'll know who's behind it.

Yeah.

We'll go with your answer.

For now.

But if it's just more killer Craig under there, I'll be the one removing your

face.

If you keep ordering like this, we're going to have to start calling you

John, pretty soon.

I am committed to keeping y 'all in business, Miss Taylor. We are doing just

fine, thank you.

Keep it that way.

Yes, ma 'am.

Anything good from the autopsy?

Bottom line is, Hondo says Esteban's death is consistent with suicide.

Pending further investigation due to suspicious circumstances.

It's hard to fake a suicide by gunshot.

You got prints on the gun, GSR, bullet projector, it all fits.

I know, but it doesn't feel right.

Ethel Bond was angry, not suicidal.

Why would the mystery woman from the casino want to put him down?

I don't know, but check this.

He has a tattoo of her on his chest.

The way it's designed makes me think she was the light he talked about.

Look at her face.

Isn't that the same lady he painted on the subway tunnel in Chicago?

That makes even less sense.

That would mean both of them were trying to put down Lance Durant.

Why would you want to kill somebody from your same team?

Maybe Kayla and I got too close.

That would make him a risk you couldn't afford?

Mm -hmm.

That's cold.

And we have no idea who this woman is?

No.

But you know who might?

Lance Durant. Man, don't even get me started on him.

Did you see the footage from the raid in Toledo?

Out here using kids as slave labor.

This junkie has been lying to us since day one.

I know you pressed him before, but he didn't crack.

That was a love attack.

This motherfucker about to get a full dose today.

We're also shocked to hear what was in the news.

Not very often you get to meet your heroes, am I right?

Yes, and I understand that you and President Obama are good friends now.

You mentioned during our break that he called you yesterday. What did he say?

He's, candidly, I think he's disappointed.

I got a lot of phone calls from friends who are disappointed over the last

couple of days.

Yes, this is regarding the revelations that, and I quote, Crestbrook Industries

has used undocumented migrant children to work in their plants and fields.

And what did you say? I mean, I'd love to know, because he can call you

for answers, but a lot of regular Americans were also shocked at the news

they heard. I found out when the rest of America found out, and frankly, it

broke my heart.

It's not who I am. That's not who Crestbrook is.

It's all good and well to say that, but it sounds like it's been...

Hillary, let me be clear.

I did not know, but that is not an excuse.

Okay? Ignorance, that's not a defense.

I would like to take a moment right now in front of the studio audience and the

audience at home.

I want you to know that I take full responsibility for this.

That I am deeply ashamed.

And I am so sorry that this happened.

I will accept any punishment that is coming my way.

And I think it's important to acknowledge the fact that I understand

on me to fix this.

No, no, no, honestly.

I appreciate that, but I can just use this as a moment to ask what I think is

the real question, the bigger question here, which is why are families sending

their children to our country to work?

Hmm?

And the answer is those families don't have enough to eat.

That is why I'm supporting.

Senator Pete Ashford's world hunger reduction legislation.

It is the key to allowing us to spread our prosperity seed around the globe.

prosperity seed that grows where nothing else will. And with it, we will end

world hunger forever.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you.

Stay with us.

I think it looks... I actually think it looks good. Maybe I'll leave it on.

That was impressive.

Thank you. We come across professional lives every single day.

You might be the best I've seen. No, no, no.

Not better than Ramsey.

Oh, you're... Okay, you... Yeah. Second best. Yeah, yeah. Second.

Do you have an update, or are you just trolling me?

It's a question.

Do you recognize this woman?

Today?

Don't answer a question with a question. People hate that. We have reason to

believe she may be our killer.

Well, I've never seen that woman before, so I don't know why you think I know

her. Well, you've been lying to us from the beginning, so we can only assume...

You might be able to speak to criminals that way, but not to... Instruction of

justice is a crime. Human trafficking is a crime.

So if he walks like a duck... Okay.

Out. And I'll be on the phone to Michael Hannon. No, you watch your TV. Okay,

all right. Okay, now, look, this is a difficult question. And we at

we embrace the difficult. So let me ask you a question. Is there anything that

Crestbrook can do to make you, you know, more effective at your job?

Listen, I don't work for Crestbrook. No, no, you work for Metro PD, right? But

what's your current assignment?

It is to find and stop the person who's trying to kill who? Me, Lance Duran, the

CEO of Crestbrook Industries.

So, if it walks like a duck... Mr. Durant, we asked you, why would someone

to kill you?

And you fed us some bullshit about COVID exception.

If you want us to be more effective at our job, start with the truth.

You want me to just list my sins? No, that would take too long. Just give us

big ones. You know, human trafficking. The kind that would make someone want to

kill you. Alex, I know... Detective Cross.

Yeah, I don't believe in those kind of formalities, so I am going to call you

Alex. Or maybe, you know, Al.

Feel free to call me Lance or, you know, Sir.

Look, I know these recent allegations have given you... Allegations?

We saw a truckload of kids headed to one of your planes.

That's fine, okay? That's fine. You can just stay there.

But you have to understand something. I asked for the best.

And they gave me you two. I'm going to assume that you put your personal

grievances to the side and just do your job.

You have a suspect, right?

Why don't you go find her?

You know what? You're right, Landon. You're right.

We are the best.

We are going to find her. And we are going to save you. But just know this.

we're done with that, I'll be pointed at you, sir.

Excuse me.

If someone died in the D .C. metro area, is this where I would come to find a

homicide detective to assign? Okay.

Crayla called us in for a debrief, Lieutenant.

It's time sensitive.

Hey, how's the case going with your mother?

As soon as I get down here, I'm going to run down some leads on this T .K.

that's saying the shooter.

Okay. And Vegas found something to say.

Hey, Lieutenant.

You sitting in on this?

Hell no.

I mean... I have to tell you, I can't have my whole unit sucked into this task

force. You need more bodies? Tell the feds they can send more bodies.

Capisce? Yes, ma 'am. Thank you. All right.

All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, our manhunt is now a womanhunt.

I want you all to meet... our brand -new prime suspect.

We believe she killed Helvig and Hartsfeld, his targeting Lance Durant,

involved in the death of Lincoln Esteban.

So what, she forced him to kill himself?

She is the light that Esteban was talking about. He worshipped her.

Now we think either she killed him or he sacrificed himself, but they're

connected. The path to ID her is through him. We found everything from Lincoln's

tunnel. Other than the shrine, she's not in it.

Well, we didn't know who we were looking for, and now we do.

Still don't get how we're so sure she's the killer and not him.

The more we learn about Esteban, the less he fit the profile.

He wanted justice.

Our suspect is bent on revenge.

The kills are brutal, up close, and include torture. That kind of rage means

it's personal.

Exactly.

Now, something terrible happened to her or someone she loves, and she blames

Lance Duran.

All right?

This begins and ends with him.

Terrible like somebody died?

Yes, that would fit, Akbar, yes.

Okay. Well, then Esteban kept an article from 1998 about a woman that died of an

apparent overdose.

The coroner ruled that it's suspicious.

Danton, Iowa. Victim was a Gabriela Perez.

She worked as a doctor at a Crestbrook -funded clinic. Now, I ruled this out

because there was no connection between her and Esteban.

What if our new suspect has a connection?

Nice work.

All right.

You and Hardy dig into her, find out who loved her.

Pores. That name sounds familiar.

Gabrielle Pores.

Sued Lance and Crestbrook.

Oh, shit.

That same year.

Looks like it was a whistleblower lawsuit.

Wrongful death and injury of workers.

We only got the top half of this complaint.

The fire got the rest.

Duh.

Would you get a copy of that lawsuit in its entirety?

Yeah, I'm on it.

Oh, got an obit.

Torres was survived by her six -year -old daughter. There's no name.

I think her suspect could be in her mid -30s. Sounds right to me.

Mm -hmm.

John, her log bar, she had a kid. We need her name.

Tell them to check the birth records and the schools in the area.

Kindergarten to second grade.

Dayton's a small town. It can't be too many.

Cool.

It's beautiful.

It's for Lincoln, isn't it?

Yeah.

This would make him happy.

You mean if he was alive?

Wherever he is.

He's smiling.

He should be here.

Maybe it would help to think of him as a martyr.

His death let us go on.

Finish what you started.

It's a gift. It's a waste.

Only if you don't finish this.

I got a name on our avenging angel.

I was able to find four female Porazas in the Danton County, Iowa elementary

schools in the time period that we need. But there was only one named Luz. Luz

Poraz? Luz as in the light in Spanish, Luz? That's right.

This is her right here. Miss Waller's first grade class.

Oh, that's got to be her.

You know where she is right now?

That's the thing. The Luz Poraz trail ends shortly after this photo was taken,

which is also around the time of her mother's death.

After that, there's no record of the girl or that name. And yet you're far

happy for a man with a dead end.

Bingo. Because our little Luz has an auntie.

Guadalupe Clara Porada.

She also disappeared around that time.

Now, since the aunt was already an adult by the time the two of them dropped off

the timeline, I was able to run a facial recognition based on how she looked 27

years ago. And I got a match on a DMV photo.

Meet Claire Matthews.

Sunrise, Florida.

And our little lose is now Rebecca Matthews.

How close is Sunrise to Hollywood, Florida? It's the next town over.

And get this, that casino?

Ten minutes drive from their house.

We headed back to Florida. Yeah, we're going to need a full workup on Rebecca

Matthews by the time we land. I'm on it.

I'm pulling up to the crime scene now.

You found something that could help LaDonna? I'll show you when I get there.

We're TK in the wind.

We got our work cut out for us.

What do you want to show me?

I went back through my notes like you asked.

The report says five shots fired.

Listen to this.

I checked the shot seeker audio from the night of Raymond Price's murder.

At 11 .15 p .m., it catches the gun firing.

How many shots you hear?

Six.

But they only found five bullets.

Pulled two out of Price and three out of the walls.

Here, here, and here.

Tex never found any other slugs.

Shit.

Then where's the sixth bullet? Maybe it ricocheted at a weird angle and went

through the window.

We call the Tex back.

Maybe they can find it.

What if the bullet found another way out?

Take a look at this.

It's going to bother me, but...

Now it's starting to make some sense.

All right, you got a trail of blood that leads to here, right?

Where a pool's underneath Price's body right there.

Right. Shot there, moved there, died there.

So why is this area clean?

I mean, the guy's bleeding out all along here, and he stops bleeding for this

bit and drops dead right there?

Holy shit.

We got a witness out there walking around with our sixth bullet in him.

Now, if he's still alive, you can tell us to do the shooting.

She's poking around. She's trying to get to the bottom of her mother's death.

Setting off alarm bells.

Exactly. Then Sheriff Mitch comes to Florida.

Our girl's young. She's female. He thinks he can scare her off.

Instead, he becomes her... Her first victim. But then... Then nothing.

I mean, nothing. She just becomes the most boring woman on the planet. She

graduates with average grades, gets a few average, non -distinct jobs.

No car, no house. One credit card she uses to buy painfully ordinary things on

Amazon.

She went underground.

This woman is avenging her mother's death.

Gets her first taste of blood and then goes silent.

For ten years.

A serial killer with that kind of patience, that kind of discipline. I've

seen anything like it.

That's because killing isn't a compulsion for her.

It's a mission.

She wasn't just patient. She was preparing.

It's a job.

It's obsessively deliberate.

That's why she doesn't make mistakes.

Everybody makes mistakes sooner or later.

We just need to find the right button and press it.

Well, let's go press some buttons.

Luz Perez?

No one here by that name.

Right. Rebecca Matthews.

I'm Agent Craig, FBI. This is Detective Cross.

You met him at the blackjack table.

We'd hoped to speak with you, but you eluded casino security and ran.

Not ringing a bell.

Well, we'd like to speak with you now.

About what exactly?

Lincoln Esteban.

Should I know who that is?

We know that you were in the penthouse with him when he died.

We also know that you killed Mitch Morgan and Richard Helfig. I'm so sorry.

don't know any of those people.

We know why you're after them, especially Lance Durant.

What he's done, what he's still doing.

Migrant children. You're not here to make friends, so are you going to arrest

me?

You know we can't do that.

Yet.

Then you should leave.

You're not going to be able to stop Lance Durant on your own.

Not anymore.

I think we can help each other.

Great.

Jenny?

Jenny, honey, I'm so sorry I'm late.

Damon and Berto needed to be dropped off.

What's wrong?

I was supposed to get matching hair ribbons for all the girls at the track

I was going to ask Uncle John to stop on the way home from school, but then I

had to bait.

And coach says you have to eat before the meet, or you'll be slow on your

You forgot the ribbons.

Now it's too late, and everybody's going to be mad at me.

You know, some folks, especially us girls, feel like we've got to get

right.

Be everything for everybody who needs something from us all the time.

But the truth is, Janie, you can't be anything for anybody unless you look out

for yourself.

So... Forgive yourself when you make mistakes.

And even ask somebody else who has a little less on their plate to bring the

damn hair ribbons to practice.

Doesn't that sound good?

Yes. Good. Are you here because you're bringing everything to everybody?

No, baby girl.

I'm here because I love you.

All of it?

Of course.

Let's go get you back.

If we leave now, we can get the hair ribbons before practice.

Hey, hold on a second.

Hey, Bobby, can your guy remove the deep fake?

Could've, but we got a problem.

His whole op got raided last night.

Did you... Did you mention him to anyone?

What? No. No, of course not.

Well, Ian, I'm thinking someone really don't want you to see underneath that

rock.

Do you know anyone...

Good enough to unravel that video?

Yeah,

I do, but he's FBI. We can't use him. I can't risk being exposed.

Well, we might have different definitions, but to me, you already

Fuck it. This is a great class in case of emergency time.

His name's Bruce Folsom. I'll send you the info.

Right here.

Right here with you.

You're not going to meet with that cop.

They got nothing on me.

That's even more reason to steer clear.

Law enforcement was a part of the plan from the very beginning.

That was the plan for after we take down Lance Durant. Now it's too soon. You

can't do it.

I'm not asking. Luce, we're on your side.

But acting rashly now won't bring Lincoln down. Don't talk about him.

We all wish.

That Lincoln didn't have to go that way.

But that is life.

He was an innocent and he's dead because of me. I gotta live with that.

We're gonna take a ride.

And I'm not Attican.

Get a zip, girl. A bow.

Yeah, white boy like you, need all the juice.

You can swang.

Sir, have we met before?

No, but we got a friend in common, though.

Kayla Craig.

Yeah, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. She needs a favor, and she say, you owe

her.

Crestbrook plant.

Why?

You'll see.

What is this place?

This is why I do what we do.

My family's farm is just over that hill.

Close enough that we could smell the diesel fumes from the trucks that rolled

in.

Then they started dumping chicken waste in the field.

Only they didn't call it dumping. They called it composting.

Poison.

It dried to a dust.

And it covered everything. It covered every inch of my house.

My little sister started using inhaler. My dad, he didn't have the energy to

work in the fields like he used to.

But by then it didn't matter because this factory used so much water. It ran

wells dry and we couldn't grow anything anyway.

And you wanted to make them pay.

I snuck in here one night and I lit up that chicken coop.

I wasn't planning it.

I was just fucking angry.

And then I heard the screams.

At the front door, it had metal handles.

And when I touched them, I could feel my palms sit down to the bone.

This is where it happened?

I jumped into a window, but with the smoke, it was so black inside.

I couldn't breathe.

I found the bodies piled up by the door when I tripped over them.

How was I supposed to know they have goddamn kids living in the chicken coop?

Okay, okay.

I can still hear them in my dreams. I can fucking smell them.

I do know that I'd like to carry something with me.

You didn't know what you were doing.

I did.

Pain can be an anchor pulling us down, but it can be a reminder too.

Reminding us... that we have a debt to the dead. And if you let that cop get in

your head, we don't pay that debt.

That means those kids, Lincoln, they die for nothing.

Think about that when you talk to that cop.

Come on, Kayla. You better fucking answer.

Boss. I need you back in D .C. now.

Well, we're on a suspect.

I can't just... First flight out, Kayla.

Wait a second. What is this?

Nice table, Detective.

You're late.

I wanted to give you enough time to get your surveillance team set up.

There's no team.

Just her.

Guarneros, $18 .56. Yes.

And tequila and soda with lime.

Anything else?

No. Good.

You ordered for me.

Yeah. Coming out a little strong there.

Did I get it right?

You know... Gabriela.

No one called her that.

But... It is connected to her, isn't it?

Part of the ritual.

I mean, you ordered tequila and soda.

I'm guessing that's her favorite drink. And then you play, what is it, 3 and 16

on the roulette table? Her birthday.

And you spin the wheel, you walk away, and just like clockwork, a few days

later, somebody ends up dead, right?

Just another body on the revenge tour for Mommy.

It's a theory.

What's with the drink?

Not for you.

For you, it's intentional.

You know, I bet everything you do is intentional.

And what about you, detective?

Why are you here?

Same reason as you. I want justice.

And what would you consider justice for a mass murderer, a trafficker of

children? And the person you think killed your mother.

I know he did.

Then why is he still alive?

You were close enough to do it.

No. No, me? No, no.

But I would guess whoever's doing this, they must have started down this path

because they wanted justice for Gabriela Alejandra Porras.

And then they learned that her death was part of a larger pattern.

A depraved machine built to enrich Lance Duran and his cronies and to treat

innocent people like those children and my mother as collateral damage.

You know,

Lincoln Esteban was collateral damage.

But it wasn't Crestbrook who sacrificed him, was it? No.

It was you.

I didn't know him. Yes, you did.

And I think that you loved him.

And he worshipped you.

You know, it must be so hard for you.

To sign up to fight for truth and justice just to wind up working for a

I believe Lance Durant is entirely capable of killing your mom.

And I bet she's not the only body he left behind.

That man deserves everything you planned for him. He deserves to be watered in

blood, just like his prosperity seems. And what you need to do is get out of

way. Don't lose.

At any moment now, we'll gather material evidence linking you to a killer.

And in the meantime, we are on you 24 -7.

You won't get within a mile of Lance Durant.

That dream in your head?

It died the moment we knocked on your door.

But you can still stop him. If you have evidence, give it to me.

We'll take him down the right way.

Come on, Detective.

I know how that goes.

He's going to get a slap on the wrist and a fine that won't even amount to

he spends on a private jet to dowel. I won't let that happen. You can't help

let that happen.

Do you know what that badge in your pocket makes you?

An errand boy for the landowners.

Let me tell you something.

Fuck it. My wife was murdered.

And I was filled with rage.

Just like you.

I wanted justice.

I did.

All of my actions.

about vengeance.

Just like you.

I became somebody I didn't recognize.

I hurt people who didn't deserve it.

Lose.

How many more Lincolns are you willing to sacrifice?

He sacrificed himself.

If that's true.

Then he did it so you could go on.

What kind of future would he have wanted for you?

What would your mother have wanted?

My mother wanted Justin.

That's why they killed him.

It's too late to do it the way you planned, but it's not too late to make

their sacrifices matter.

If we do it my way, I promise, if we do it my way, we can finish the mission.

For them, Lois.

I want 24 hours.

And I want to say my goodbye to Alex.

Can you promise me you'll take down Lester Ann?

I don't like it.

Well, it's not to like.

It doesn't fit the profile.

We've been describing a zealot who will stop at nothing and what, is all of a

sudden just going to quit?

Now push the right button.

Yeah, you think?

Look, if you'd heard what she said, not just what she said, but how she said it.

Yeah, I couldn't because my partner turned off the recording device.

I needed to bond with Luz, okay? That was part of it. You should be happy

now. Happy? Yeah.

Must have missed an epic performance.

Did she cry?

She cried, didn't she?

Contrary to popular belief, the great Alex Cross cannot infect seen to

everyone's soul.

We still talking about lose?

It's an AG case all over again.

You making the decisions, you getting credit.

That's what this is all about. Your relentless need for credit. You know

The depths of your insecurity is mind boggling. But don't worry.

I'm fine just catching the bad guy. I will make sure to say the real hero is

Kayla Gray.

That's not what I want. Bullshit.

No.

Cross almighty.

What I want is for you to consider that occasionally you're not perfect.

And this is one of those times you are not reading her correctly.

Considered and dismissed.

Then have her turn herself in at the local FBI headquarters.

No, I can't. That would spook her.

So you're just cool with going to a rendezvous of her choice? I will take

precautions.

You do that, huh?

Make sure you keep your fingers in your pockets.

Okay. I've been called back to D .C.

This is deep throat shit.

Oh, yeah. We're not doing this in the office. Kayla?

Oh, so you're going to be a quickie in the car then?

All these years, you still can't tell when I'm dead serious.

What's the problem, Roy?

I knew you'd have to get creative.

I mean, I looked the other way when you let that psycho Bobby Trey out of the

cage.

But yesterday, I find out from my boss. From my boss.

that your psycho approached and threatened an FBI tech at your

Hmm?

Is there a memo?

And an incident report.

Stupid. I told you the only thing you couldn't do was use FBI assets. I had no

choice. I have to prove I'm not the one in the video. Fuck the video. I'm your

problem now. You understand me?

You put me in a boat, Kayla.

If I can only save one of us, if that.

It will be me. What does that even mean?

Well, for starters, your badge is good for the next three hours.

You're gonna get in, get your shit, get out, and do not leave a mess.

Then you will go home and you will wait, and I might be in touch.

Roy, I didn't want this.

It's important that you know that.

You remember when everyone was real nervous when Ramsey got put away?

And wondering where his treasure trove of blackmail was?

Yeah, I always thought you were a climber.

That's why I liked working with you, because I understand climbers, but... I

wrong.

You don't climb, you push.

Like you push the man who was in your job before you.

You get the keys to the spelling class, our documents come...

before he stands trial.

Or at least that was the story.

But this proves that you were actually the leak.

So do you want to try this again?

What do you want?

Roy sent me.

Setting up in the kitchen.

You coming?

Why, you got some other blackmailers waiting for you?

I delegated five things.

What do I do with all the ten?

Well, I think you need a plan, baby girl.

And I got you covered.

For you.

I know a lot of people use their phones, but I like to write things down.

This planner belongs to...

I'm going to write Queen Janelle Croft.

Okay, Queen.

Thank you.

You are so welcome.

Now, there is a rule, a very important rule with this.

You control the planner.

The planner does not control you.

Now, take a look at mine.

See how I have everything organized by activity.

Who's Trevor?

Uh, he's a good friend of mine.

We actually work together sometimes.

Is Trevor your boyfriend?

We'll see.

Jury's still out on that one.

Does Daddy know?

Mm -hmm. He does.

You said that you loved us.

I do love you.

Very much.

But you're Daddy and I.

It's not going to happen.

And I'm sorry, Janie, because I know you were hoping it would.

Well, it wouldn't happen.

I don't want you to worry about that.

Because you and me, we are family.

And that will never change.

I promise you.

Well, you should have asked me because I don't want to be that kind of family.

Jenny.

Can I get another one of those?

Okay.

You know what? How about a little less drinking and a little bit more feeling

face off so we can see what's underneath?

Yeah?

Look, this isn't face -off, okay?

When you're dealing with deepfake, the original image is destroyed.

When the new data, meaning your face, is introduced to the new image, so there's

literally nothing to peel.

So you can't do it?

No, I didn't say that.

You're waiting on a few last pieces here.

Whoever did this used photos of your face to train the AI.

which mapped them onto the original face.

But it needs a lot of images of you from, like, different angles just to

the moving figure.

See that? You see how our head turned sharply there? It's because the AI lost

one of the landmarks. There's no Kayla image data for it, right?

But you get, like, a little speck of their original face becoming visible.

And you can't make a positive ID off of a single speck's worth of face.

No.

But I can watch the video frame by frame on loop for hours and catch every

little piece of where the AI failed.

Put all the little pieces together.

Holy shit.

You know it?

It's Felicia.

Um, yeah, hold on.

Yeah, hey, um, this is not a good time for me right now. Look, I'm sorry I cut

the feed, all right?

Are you?

I still think I made the right move, but I just want to make sure that we're

okay. It depends. Are you on the way to the airport?

At the next intersection, turn right.

Great.

You know, at least tell me you brought backup.

Well, I got three cars of Fez waiting for me at the meet point, huh?

But, Kay, I shouldn't have said what I said yesterday. I know how hard you

worked to get here.

How much you do deserve the credit. And yet there you are, off to play lone hero

again. Just think how good it'll feel to dunk on me if I'm wrong.

Alex?

Alex!

How awful is that DC traffic?

It's the worst.

I just have to say thank you.

So much for meeting with me, Senator Ashford. Of course.

I admire your organization quite a bit.

My aide said that there would be four of you?

No, just me.

But I brought all the details for the scholarship we're starting in your

parents' name.

Well, they deserve it. It's been ten years now. I'm still trying to live up

their example.

Oh, I bet.

Your mom was the first female judge appointed to the Iowa Supreme Court.

She was also an investor in Crestbrook Industries, is that right?

Well, back then it was Crestbrook Farms, but yeah, she was an early investor.

Which is why she should have recused herself from the many lawsuits against

Crestbrook.

But instead she made sure they all came to her courtroom so that she could

dismiss them and protect her investment.

What is this?

That's an outrageous accusation.

43 lawsuits, all dismissed by your mother.

Human trafficking, unsafe work conditions, underage employees, wrongful

Your mother helped Crestbrook Farms become Crestbrook Industries, and she

at the expense of children.

Can't be true.

But it is. And now Lance Duran wants to take his criminal operation on the road.

Prosperity Seed will feed the world. Sure it will.

On the backs of child laborers. My mother couldn't have known this.

The blood money.

Your mother got for protecting Crestbrook, bought your education, your

car, your weddings, both of them, and funded every single campaign you have

ran. Except for that last one.

Because Lance Duran paid for it.

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Your old housekeeper said your mom left you more than an inheritance.

She left you her leverage.

Sorry, detective, but no life is greater than a mission.

Hey there, Crossy Cross.

I'll be great.

Fuck you do it

Kayla Craig seemed to think your life were safe.

My life like you know Like you know You don't know shit about how I roll

Steppin' out the trenches, see me glow Murkin' on my

demons in this show Movin' so fast, can't feel slow

Swimmin' on this track, watch me flow Who moves, speakin' truth, no cap You

see it in my fruit, taste the passion A lot of life, feel, bringin' on the magic

That's a predator, now I'm Chris Hansen This nigga clean it up, need a nap.

Feel my touch through the screen, come and tap.

Niggas do it for the field, I was tapping.

So they want to stack, throwing all the passes.

On the phone with my songs, call it classic.

Got instructions, so I'm moving all in passing.

Can't see, but rejecting me for glasses.

Seeing, looking glass cell for my blacksmith.

Line of features in the film, no Brad Pitt. But keep the R rate, move out that

action. For the time, McCormick, you can get capped in. With your rules in the

bar, saying strap in.
