Original subtitles

I see you're still prepping for your big interrogation.

Franks doesn't think I'm ready.

There are two churches.

- What are you doing at mine? - Are you following me?

- Who was that? - - It's a guy I've been seeing.

He drives off on you like that again,

- I'll break his legs. - I'll let him know.

You got someone for me?

Noah oakley would serve you well.

We have worked together for years,

and I've seen him grow into an outstanding leader.

Something came to mind, actually.

This place I think you might like.

Guy named Abe pruitt runs it.

We take in anyone who needs a job.

Whoa, whoa.

- You okay? - Got a little overzealous.

Wife's guilty of encouraging him.

You ever feel like that?

Like the planet's got a rope around your neck?

Kid gives me the creeps.

I know long distance is for idiots.

I don't want to break up.

I pronounce you husband and wife.

It was the worst hangover of my life.

When I woke up, I couldn't even remember where I was.

The guy in the picture, the guy that was running around

like an idiot the night before,

I couldn't believe that was me.

Leroy?

I woke up in the bathtub.

Why are you wearing my shoes?

I have no idea.

I have, like, really clear pieces of last night,

then there's also

blank spaces, but the clear pieces... Yeah.

Was it my idea?

Guy at the craps table with the gold tooth,

pretty sure it was his idea.

You want to order breakfast, then... Get it annulled?

I don't know.

About the breakfast or the annulling?

I mean, I know you gave a big speech last night

about picking me up and running off together,

I remember that, but you haven't met my father yet,

we haven't said "I love you,"

you don't know the full story of my college years. I mean,

we got to get it annulled.

- Right? - Yeah.

Is that inside my head or outside?

No, that's my pager.

You seen it?

Do you remember where you had it last?

I feel like it's buzzing from somewhere by the plant.

Found it.

What are you watching?

Wait, there was an explosion?

Authorities are confirming the suspect is still at large.

As many as ten people have been transported via ambulance,

- with two people in critical condition. - - My god.

I got to get back.

How fast can we get to the airport? I'll call.

- Where are my pants? Are they over there? - Here, here, here.

- Damn it. - I'll get us on the next flight out.

Where the hell are my pants?

We're now getting word that 11 were injured,

two confirmed dead, after a bomb exploded

in the ocean side movie do me late last night.

The bomber's motive and identity?

Both unclear at this time.

Police encourage anyone with information about the bombing

to contact their local station.

Rando, what's the word?

Atf swept the building.

We're clearing the surrounding area.

- Where's probie? - Circus.

What?

Gail said he was gonna be late. Apparently,

he called in and said he was at the circus.

All right, I explained to them all

that three miles from Pendleton

is considered a threat to the base.

Atf didn't want to hear it, I tore them a new one,

it's fine. Good morning. Good morning.

What'd they say about the bomb?

Made from fertilizer and aviation gas.

Okay, FBI is,

sorting through cctv footage in the theater.

You should get in there. You're working with agent Swanson.

Swanson? What happened to oakley?

He's gone. Promoted

to the joint criminal intelligence team in D.C.

Isn't that the thing Vera was trying to get on?

That's sad.

You and oakley have worked together forever, haven't you?

You should get in there, and fair warning,

Joey Swanson's a little, particular, newly promoted.

Agent Swanson. Mike Franks, nis.

Josephine Swanson. Pleasure.

Randolf. Congrats on the promotion.

These community?

Sorry, could you not smoke in here?

I'm asthmatic.

- We getting anything off the tapes? - There's just the one angle.

Thankfully, it was a midnight showing.

Theater was mostly empty. Let me do it.

It needs to be rewound to 15.8 seconds,

and people keep only taking it back to 15.

Circus, like, lions and clowns?

- What? - You said Gibbs went to the circus.

Yeah, that-that's what Gail said.

Who goes to the circus first thing in the morning?

Here we go.

Unsub walks in at 12:32 A.M.

Sets the bomb down, flips a switch,

and exits the theater.

Roll it back.

- No, that's too far. Let me do it. - I got it.

- I know what I'm looking for. - I got it. I got it.

- I can work my own controls, woman. - I said I...

Please do not address me as "woman."

We got him here, looking towards the camera.

Freeze it right there.

Yeah.

Image is a bit grainy,

but we get it out to the local news,

engage the public, who knows?

You got something, boss? You know this guy?

Agent Franks, switching off your radio

while I'm speaking to you is not acceptable.

As I was saying, your brother being on-site

- is an acute conflict of interest. - Abe!

I received authorization from FBI director Harlan

and agent Wheeler to run point on this raid.

Abe, I will knock this gate down!

Where's my brother?

Agent Franks?

- Where is Stanley Turner? - Where's Mason? He okay?

I don't know. What's going on?

Bedrooms are this way, let's go.

Is Stanley Turner here? Who's in charge?

My husband's in charge,

but we haven't seen Stanley since yesterday.

What...?

- Mason Franks. Where is he? - I don't know.

- Where is he? - I don't know.

Go.

- Clear it. - Yes, ma'am. Need you to move.

Bravo team... Let's go.

Line up here, please.

Can anyone tell me, is Stanley Turner on the premises?

- With me. - Abe!

Hey!

The hell's my brother?

I heard Stanley's name on the scanner.

They said what he did.

Are you sure it was him?

- Where's Mason? - Boss!

Boss. Found this in Stanley's room.

It's a manifesto.

Last page has a sketch of the movie theater.

FBI's taking the rest of the stuff

- from his room to our lab. - Mikey. - Mason!

The hell's all this?

Kid Stanley blew up a movie theater.

- What? - Where were you?

I was back with the horses.

- Is the kid back there? - No.

I haven't seen him since yesterday.

Look at me.

You don't know nothing about this, do you?

Mikey, no.

- All right, listen now... - Franks.

No sign of Turner.

We did find fertilizer in the nursery,

likely match the bomb remnants in the theater.

I'm bringing everyone in for questioning

on the whereabouts of Stanley Turner.

- Is that your brother? - He's coming with me.

I was given authorization by both FBI director Harlan

- and special agent Wheeler... - Said he's coming with me.

And I said it's an acute conflict of interest.

Now, if you would like me to make a call

and report your conduct to our superiors,

I can certainly do that.

Wheeler says you've worked with pruitt in the past.

You bring him in, I'm taking the rest.

Mr. Franks, let's go. Over here with the others. Mr. Pruitt...

- Whoa. - You'll be traveling with agent Franks.

Don't let 'em get you talking,

get you in trouble for something you didn't do.

- All right. - Like you said,

you don't know nothing. Hold to that.

Yeah.

Oceanside bombing tip line, please hold.

Okay, but was it a blond mullet?

Okay. What's your tip?

Yeah, no, the mullet we're looking for is blond.

Mary Jo, where is everybody? They still at the range?

Look at you, sunglasses.

Were they giving those away at the circus?

What?

I passed along your message that you were at

the barnum & Bailey this morning.

No, I wasn't at the circus, Gail, I was in Vegas.

At the circus circus hotel?

I've had a couple of insane nights there for sure.

I almost got arrested.

Gibbs, you better get in there.

Franks has been asking me all morning, "what time"

- "- does the circus end?" - Mary Jo!

Is that Gibbs?

Glad you could make it.

You get an elephant ride?

Circus isn't interactive, Mike.

What's with the sunglasses?

Woody says an anfo bomb

that would fit in a backpack needs about

20 pounds of fertilizer and a gallon of aviation gas.

Fertilizer came from the nursery

at Abe's compound, but where'd he get the avgas?

Some interesting philosophies

in this manifesto, but nothing

about where the bomb parts came from.

Rando, these tacks up to date?

Yeah, boss.

Not sure how credible the sources are,

but looks like most of them are in the gas lamp district.

What about FBI Swanson?

We're updating her on the tips.

And?

She wouldn't tell me anything about Mason. I only know

- he's still in custody. - Roy, you've spent

a lot of time alone in your room, haven't you?

What's your take on this manifesto?

Did you booze it up at the circus?

We were in Vegas. Circus circus casino.

You mean you and Diane? You guys are back together?

Yeah.

We got married.

Yeah.

You go to one of those little white chapels where Elvis

does the ceremony?

I think he's still drunk.

He's only funny when he's drunk.

It was a regular guy who did the ceremony.

Elvis already clocked out.

Congratulations.

When's the annulment?

Let's go.

We can't let probie's drunken life mistakes

keep us from hunting down our yahoos.

Y'all got anything else I can grill Abe pruitt on?

Stanley Turner came up through the foster care system.

We contacted his last guardians.

They said they didn't know anything,

but I think they're holding back.

Probie, pop in a stick of doublemint. You're with me.

Where we going?

Showed up on time like the rest of us,

you'd know Abe pruitt's waiting in the conference room.

Where are the rest of my people?

They ain't in harm's way.

Your brother still with them?

Mason didn't know anything about this.

Did you?

No.

Kid never talked about doing this sort of thing?

Never got any bad ideas put in his head?

He seemed like he'd be easy to lead astray.

Well, I mean,

Stanley spent a lot of time alone, but...

I never thought he was capable of this.

You know any reason why he'd be in the gaslight district?

Gaslamp.

Outside of the compound, Stanley didn't have any friends.

What about his foster folks? He close with them?

I mean, Steven and Lynn, they're good people.

Stanley was a lot to handle.

He cut ties with them when he moved in with us...

but they still call me to check in on him.

So they trust you?

Yeah, I never gave them a reason not to.

Foster folks ain't talking to us, but they trust Abe.

I'm gonna head to their house, take him with.

Smart.

Wasn't asking for an opinion.

You're a mess. Stay here.

You help Mary Jo and the girls with the tip line.

You want me to answer phones?

Kowalski, set probie up with your magic phone

so he can help the girls with the tip line.

There you go.

- How you doing, kid? - Yeah, peachy.

So, I heard you got hitched?

We're getting an annulment.

You got my interrogation tapes?

You forgot they were due today?

Hey, look, I know you've been studying different techniques

to try to learn how not to embarrass yourself in there,

but my due dates are not a suggestion.

Yeah, I know.

I'll bring the interrogation tapes back tomorrow.

Now, where's this magic phone?

Meet the Merlin.

I ordered it out of a Japanese catalogue.

It's got 24 lines and auto-hold capabilities,

so it'll never drop a call.

Think you can handle it?

I know how hard this is.

You took Stanley in when he had nowhere else to go.

You showed him love,

and he lost his way, but that is not your fault.

The best we can do is bring him in safely,

which is what we are trying to do.

All of us.

- Right, agent Franks? - That's right.

Steven...

Okay.

He... He come by for supper last week,

with another guy. Cowboy-looking fella.

We got to talking 'cause he's from Texas like me.

Guy named Mason?

Yeah. You know him?

While I was in here talking to him,

Stanley went out to the garage

to tune up my old racing motorcycle.

I followed him out. I thought it'd give us a chance to visit,

- but he was talking strange. - That type of bike,

engine's modified, takes a special kind of gasoline.

Yeah.

After the boys left...

I realized some of it was missing.

And Mason helped him take it?

He was a hell of a distraction. Boy likes to talk.

"You're not gonna love me anymore,"

that's what Stanley kept saying before he went into the garage.

He said I wouldn't love him after the next two days.

How much gas did he take?

Two gallons.

We're sorry.

We should've called someone. We just...

We were scared.

Sorry. Mike...

It doesn't mean that Mason was involved.

It could be he didn't know what Stanley was doing.

That bomb only used one gallon of gas.

Boy's got enough to make another one.

Director Harlan has been briefed

on the threat of the second bomb.

He asked me to get you up to speed on our end.

I appreciate that. Where are we?

I would prefer to speak

in private, since we've established

there is an acute conflict of interest.

I told you Abe pruitt's back at the compound,

I told you everything we heard at the folks' house.

I'm not saying you didn't.

Now, you owe me your side.

Give and take, that's how this joint thing works.

I'm aware of how a joint investigation works.

Give and take.

Tell her, cliff, give and take.

Cliff, tell her, dammit.

Agent Swanson, I'll absorb the blowback

for conflict of interest. What do you have?

We are confident none of the compound residents

had prior knowledge of the bombing,

with the exception of Mason Franks.

We are holding him for further questioning.

I told you, Stanley Turner used Mason as a distraction.

His dad is from Texas, Mason's a talker.

Stanley brought him along to keep his parents busy

while he swiped the avgas from the garage.

So Mason didn't know that Stanley took the gas?

- No. - Unclear.

Did you ask him?

Well, he claimed he didn't know anything about it,

but you know as well as I do a denial is not enough.

Hook him up to the lie detector then.

Agent Franks, I intend to be as thorough as possible

- for everyone's sake. - Hook him up to the detector.

- Okay... - Come on, cliff,

get on the phone and get us oakley back.

She don't know her ass from a hole in the ground.

Excuse me, sir, I heard yelling, but I figured,

since it was just Franks, it was okay to interrupt.

Vera strickland.

I spent some time at the FBI in profiling courses.

Strickland, what do you have?

I am pitching in on trying to thwart the second bombing.

Last page of Stanley Turner's manifesto.

He wrote something, then he erased it, and I was able to

shade over it and make it out.

"Fiat justitia ruat caelum."

Kid speaks Spanish?

It's Latin.

- What does it mean? - Meh.

You read Latin, but you don't understand it?

I was sounding it out phonetically.

Sir, I need to get back to hq.

- I will keep you in the loop. - Hey.

You hook my brother up to that lie detector,

and you call me as soon as it's done.

Agent Franks, I intend to be thorough.

And I am not compelled to take orders from you.

She's not.

Okay, big fella, I know you're overstimulated,

but you need to put your brain

on this Latin thing with me. Let's go.

Got it. Franklin high.

Stanley Turner seemed weird to you in art class.

Well, if you see him or think of anything else,

give us a call back. Thanks.

How the hell do you switch lines

- on this damn thing? It's... - Here.

It's all right.

Yeah. I need to go help look into this second bomb.

I'd like to have a minute with you before you go.

Look, Kowalski, I'll return your other interrogation tapes

- tomorrow, okay? - Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

This is the only tape that you didn't check out.

Which is ironic, because it's the only one

you should be studying to become a better interrogator.

Let's watch.

To push him.

He drowned... Why would I want to watch myself?

- Wait for it. - What happened, I swear.

Gibbs what did happen?

He was about to break, and then...

Gibbs what did you do?

I didn't do anything.

You punched the table like a dumb-ass.

Yeah. I got to get back to the case.

Hey.

I just got a call on the tip line.

Guy says Stanley Turner

has a connection with flaco navarro.

What kind of connection?

Caller wouldn't identify himself,

but he said Stanley and flaco are "righteous homies."

- You tell lala about this? - Yeah.

She found out where flaco is.

She needs someone to drive her over there, but, so you know,

she doesn't seem interested in talking about

your drunk wedding on the way over.

Get moving, honey, she's waiting in the car.

Kid's really a work in progress?

¿Qué pasó, mama?

Look at you, rolling up all glowy.

You want next game?

Manny's got a big heart.

He might let your boy win one.

Nah, flaco, we got business.

You hear about that movie theater getting bombed?

Yeah, you know, I keep abreast.

Tip came in, said that the bomber has a connection to you.

You know, at first, I thought she was glowing,

but it's just she look sharp compared to you.

Why you looking all busted, man?

He's hungover.

He got married in Vegas last night.

Hey, congrats.

How long you two been together?

They started dating, what, three months ago?

Thought you didn't want to talk about this.

Hey, moving a bit fast, ain't it?

Her pops give you his blessing?

What, you didn't ask? Wow, bro.

Me and Manny think you bucking tradition.

That ain't right.

How do you know Stanley Turner?

Stanley.

I'll tell you what, me and Stanley,

we righteous homies.

You think I'm out here running around

with some unstable white dude?

- Come on now. - You called in a fake tip?

Yeah, 'cause I wanted to get some time with my girl.

See if she had any new thoughts on rico Luna.

You know rico Luna?

Bad dude.

- He offed quite a few people. - Flaco.

She doesn't have any new thoughts on Luna.

What do you know about her thoughts?

Nothing.

Let's go.

You know something about her?

You shouldn't have made them come here,

that's all I'm saying.

- What the hell was that? - What?

That's the impala that's been following you.

What, that's the guy you're seeing?

- You're seeing flaco's guy? - I'm not seeing him.

You said you were seeing the impala guy.

I lied to get you off my back.

Then why's he acting like he knows you?

Because sometimes I see him around.

- So, you are seeing him. - That's not what I'm saying.

Then what are you saying?

I'm saying, sometimes, I see that gangbanger at church

and we talk about our day, okay?

You're the one who got drunk-married in Vegas.

I need him to call me now.

Yes, this is in reference to a bomb threat.

That's what I said, now.

Thank you.

Latin professor at usd should be calling us back shortly.

They didn't want to interrupt his class,

but I went bulldog phone voice, so should be good.

Mary Jo, did Swanson call Wheeler,

say something about a lie detector?

Mary Jo!

Damn intercom ain't working.

She's probably just in the bathroom.

You're gonna break it.

That's why we'll never get approved for Merlins in here.

FBI found Stanley's car here.

He sets the bomb at the theater, then what?

Public transportation to where?

We check with the cab companies?

Yep, and buses. No reported sightings.

"Let justice be done though the heavens may fall."

- That's what the Latin means. - What? How'd you find out?

I ran into m.J. In the bathroom,

she told me Kowalski speaks Latin from his holy days.

It's a legal phrase.

Courthouse is here.

Block away from the movie theater.

No, that couldn't be his second target. It doesn't make sense.

Why bomb a movie theater, then a courthouse

in the same four-block radius?

Rando, call up the courthouse, see if they evacuated

when the bomb went off at the movie theater.

Copy.

They evacuated all the buildings in the area,

but they let everybody back in around noon.

Bomb goes off at the movie theater here.

Night court folk

evacuate through this emergency exit door.

Doors open, people run out of the courthouse.

You could slip in through a door

that's usually locked, bypass security.

Blows up the movie theater

to get a second bomb into the courthouse.

That was his real target.

No, that is a theory, sure, but is it sound?

Got confirmation that the emergency exit door

was used to evac the courthouse last night,

and the same Latin phrase is on the seal hanging in the lobby.

Yes, the theory is sound.

Out this way please, ma'am. Thank you.

Mike.

Second floor's clear.

You think he's still inside?

He didn't set off the bomb yet,

possible he's waiting on something.

Split up, clear it, comb the crowd.

Everyone down.

Everyone get down.

Get down.

Hey, get down. Hey! Get down!

Suspect exiting with the crowd.

Southwest emergency exit door.

Hey.

- Heard your bomber got away. - Yeah.

Everybody's back at the courthouse,

locking it down, searching the area.

What are you doing here now?

Woody says he's onto something,

requested all the photos of the range

from the first time we went there on the meyers case.

Franks sent you back 'cause you're hungover?

- Weak link gets the grunt work. - Yeah, I told him,

it's not on me Turner got away.

There was people in the way, a ton of them.

Never mind.

Hey, Gibbs.

I'm-I'm feeling I got to come clean.

Those interrogation tapes

weren't due back to me until next week.

One crazy night, everybody's got to bust my balls.

I'm not busting your balls.

I just felt, given your decisions last night,

it might the most ideal time

for you to watch yourself on that tape.

I thought it would be clear after you watched it,

but apparently not.

You thought what would be clear?

1951 to 1953.

I was a pow at pak's palace in north... Korea.

And I was interrogated each and every day.

So, I know a little bit about

what works and what doesn't.

I see you study these interrogation tapes.

You look at Franks, you look at lala, Randy.

Then you wonder what you can copy.

That's all good.

You should take something from all of them.

They all have strengths.

But what comes first?

What has to live underneath any of that?

I don't know.

You.

You got great instincts, kid.

You do.

You got to be thinking what would you do,

not what would Franks do.

And every time you step foot in that box,

you got to listen to your gut.

And when you're outside of that box,

you got to listen to your gut, too.

Nobody goes to Vegas and gets drunk-hitched

without needing a gut check.

That's the real takeaway from all this.

You got me?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Gibbs, Vera's looking for you.

You give me the pictures,

and I'll have them couriered over to Woody for you.

Thanks, Kowalski.

I, I made this for you.

It's the best cure for a hangover,

and believe me, I've tried them all.

You have?

Yeah, just throw it back like a giant shot.

And if you need any help with the annulment paperwork,

I-I have experience.

- You've had an annulment? - Two.

But don't tell Gail, 'cause she gets judgy.

Vera said to come right up to the conference room.

Abe pruitt's ex-wife showed up, and she wants to talk.

Batter up, dude, pound it.

What, is there pickles in here?

Abe and I got married ten years ago.

He was the head of this law firm.

I was a paralegal.

Before he became a lawyer,

he wanted to be a priest, did you know that?

But then he realized priests have way too many rules,

- so he went to law school, but... - Ms. Pruitt.

- Tracy. - Tracy,

is there something specific you wanted to share with us

about your ex-husband?

Husband, technically.

The divorce isn't final yet.

I saw the bomber kid on the news.

They said he lives on Abe's compound.

Abe tried to get everyone in the law firm to follow him,

like worship him.

I mean, it kind of worked.

I married the guy.

The people who worked at his law firm

are the same people living on the range with him now?

No, no. The people at the law firm got wise to him.

He wanted to be king, they didn't want a king.

They wanted to live their own lives,

so he started gathering other people.

They were defendants from this lawsuit we had.

The people who got their land taken away?

Exactly.

These poor people.

Now, he's out there trying to be king of them.

Not even king. God.

He wants to be worshipped. Can you imagine?

What are you saying?

Abe had some kind of control over Stanley Turner?

Who is Stanley Turner?

The guy who bombed the theater.

Right. I don't know him.

But I'm wondering, is there any documentation

you all can give me that might help me, you know...

get a bigger settlement in my divorce?

I mean, I'll take whatever you have.

Swanson. Swanson, the courthouse is secure,

the sheriff put up a road block,

but Turner's long gone. He left the area.

Yeah, I do got to yell, 'cause you ain't listening!

What the heck is that about?

FBI Swanson is the new oakley.

She's holding Franks' brother for questioning.

Yeah, she's refusing to release him, so Franks

is getting surly with her, but actually,

he pretty much hated her for no reason from the get-go.

I didn't even know Franks had a brother.

That ain't what I said. I swear to god, woman.

Courier dropped off these photos we were waiting on.

Swanson...

Great. Why don't you get to work on those, will you?

- That's not what I said. - So, listen, Gail faxed over

a bulletin earlier

that said Gibbs got hammered and married Diane.

Wow, Gail did a whole bulletin?

Yeah, last thing we heard, Gibbs and Diane

broke up. Next thing you know,

fax says that he's making her his sin city bride.

What?

I guess we just wanted to get your reaction.

- I don't know, get his reaction. - It's just that

it's not as interesting because

he doesn't have sexual tension with Gibbs.

What?

Yeah, well, you're a damn disgrace

to the FBI, and that is saying something.

Talk about sexual tension?

She won't tell me nothing about Mason.

I told her, do the lie detector,

she keeps talking about being thorough.

I think she's using this whole thing

to get a leg up on her career.

Woodrow, get over here, we're frickin' unbelievable.

No way, we were right?

Hell yeah we were. All this stuff

was confiscated from Stanley Turner's room.

Grown man with a pet rat. That should've been.

Abe's first clue something was off.

It's a hamster, boss.

Don't that make it worse?

Found a powdery substance caked

on the bottom of the cage here.

Found that same powdery substance on the bottom

of Mr. Elertson's feet, too.

Transferred to his wheel and everything.

We named him after Phil's dad.

- Their personalities are very similar. - Yeah.

- What was the powder? - Concrete dust.

Likely from the surface layer of an old floor breaking down.

Called the FBI, said they didn't encounter

any floors like that in their sweep of the compound.

Photos seem to back that up.

But we did notice something a little odd in one of them.

See these flowers on the edge?

- We thought they looked very uniform. - Yeah.

Now, this shot

you took on your first trip to the range

showed more of them. Now, back me up on this, Woody.

- See the, uniformity? - Yeah.

The uniformity is super apparent.

- Yeah. - These periwinkles are fake.

Phil and I did it again.

The streak continues.

Psh.

Why would you put fake flowers in a plant nursery?

You just can't come in here. This is unlawful.

Rando, keep him there.

- This isn't fair to my people. - M-Mr. Pruitt.

Mr. Pruitt, stay back.

I need to see the warrant. Show me a warrant.

- Stand back. - They're fake.

Yeah.

Hey.

Mike.

Body.

- It's Turner. - What is going on?

- Mr. Pruitt. - What is going on?

- Tell me what's down there. - Stand back

or I will cuff you.

Listen up, Abe pruitt's in holding saying he don't know

nothing about nothing. We buying that or not?

Bullet to the head killed Stanley,

but tango can't say if it was homicide or suicide.

Pruitt's ex told me he has a history of controlling people.

God complex.

Stanley seem like he could be manipulated, boss?

Tango say homicide or suicide?

Inconclusive.

Question is,

did pruitt have motive to pull the trigger?

Let's go. Let's roll it out.

There was a hearing set

for this afternoon at the courthouse.

Pruitt's last shot to stop Wilson & Barnes

from buying the range's land.

Pruitt was gonna lose, and he knew it.

If a bomb goes off at that hearing, that buys him time.

He was breaking them wild horses.

He was waiting on a contract

with the bureau of land management.

He needed time for it to go through.

Deal with blm would stop anyone

from coming after his land ever again.

He manipulates Stanley Turner into targeting the courthouse.

Plan goes sideways, Stanley comes back home,

pruitt shoots him to tie up loose ends.

If that's what happened,

we have zero hard evidence to tie him to any of this.

Pruitt is a frickin' mastermind.

What about his shoes?

If he shot Stanley in that basement room...

Woody's double-checking,

but there was no concrete powder on them.

There was nothing on them.

Pruitt wiped 'em clean.

He used my brother to break them horses.

Rando, toss me my walk man. I need to pre-game

before I get in the box with this son of a bitch.

Franks.

I'm sorry, boss. I thought you were looking.

- With my back? - Franks.

I just got off the phone with FBI agent Swanson.

She is on her way over to talk to Wheeler.

'Bout my brother?

No idea. I take the message, I deliver the message.

- Cliff! - He's not up there.

He's at daly's. I told them to let Swanson know.

The hell is he doing at daly's?

Tough day, you know?

You work with a guy longer than your marriage lasted.

That-that-that's a lot of years.

Talking about the FBI guy?

Noah oakley, yeah.

You two were close?

I don't know.

I spent my day trying to set troubled youth on a path.

Who knows if it'll take.

Had me thinking about Korea again.

Some things never get easier, I'll tell you.

Life, man.

Cliff.

Cliff, FBI Swanson come here yet?

We can't get oakley back. Quit bringing it up. It's over.

I have reached my limit with that woman, cliff.

When she gets here, I want you to let me do the talking.

God help us.

Agent Wheeler.

Listen here, Swanson.

I see you. Going around swinging your pretend Johnson,

get up that ladder real quick.

"Look at me. I'm being thorough."

You are done putting my brother in the middle of your bs.

You're gonna turn around,

you're gonna order that lie detector,

and you're gonna release him,

or I'm about to report your misconduct

to anyone at the FBI who got ears.

I will commit my complaint to a paper trail

so long it'll follow you the rest of your sorry career.

Agent Wheeler, in order to protect your agent Franks

from any accusations of conflict of interest,

I had three polygraph tests administered to Mason Franks.

He passed all three,

and I dropped him off at agent Franks' residence.

I came here to request that,

due to adverse working conditions,

I be paired with someone other than Franks

for any future joint investigations.

Granted.

Thank you, sir.

She's...

That's good news about Mason.

I... Have a drink, Mike.

You look tense.

We think Abe pruitt's in on the bombing.

Possible that he offed Stanley Turner

- to tie up loose ends. - What's he saying?

I got to get back to interrogate him.

Why don't you let Gibbs do it?

What?

I spent time with him, set him on the path.

Plus, he spent time with the ex-wife,

and you're off your game.

I ain't off nothing.

Kid's hungover as hell, stripped down to his very core.

Prime conditions for him to listen to his gut, Mike.

Today's the day. Come on.

Hello, Mr. Pruitt.

- Ooh! - Nice.

Hello, Mr. Pruitt.

Sorry, baby, he's hard to stay mad at.

I'm not mad at him.

Abe I had no idea that room existed.

Stanley built it without you knowing?

Place was a nursery before we got there.

Room was probably there all along,

but I never knew it.

You didn't know you had a bed of fake flowers?

The flowers in that planter were always dying,

so we put in a fake bed for some advertising photos.

Now I know why the real flowers weren't thriving.

- Pardon me. - Is that a glass from daly's?

Yeah, smitty knows we'll bring 'em back.

How's the kid doing?

Better than last time.

You think he was the only one who knew about that room?

Stanley, must've discovered the room

and kept it to himself.

He always...

had pets in cages.

He wanted to let them out in his bedroom,

but we asked him not to.

So he must've done it down in that room.

Stanley was like a son to me.

I would never hurt him,

and I didn't influence him to do anything.

Why do you think he did it, then?

You said that he targeted the courthouse.

We had a hearing scheduled.

My guess is that he was trying to stop Wilson & Barnes

from taking our land.

He loved those animals.

He would do anything to protect them.

- Guy's a damn pro. - Former lawyer,

master manipulator. There's no way this dude breaks.

- We can't just let him out. - She's right.

He goes back on the street, what's he gonna do next?

- I'm going in. - No, no, no. Leave him be.

Leave him be. Look at him.

He's thinking.

He's listening.

How does Mason fit into this?

Mason Franks?

He was like any of us.

We were happy to have him.

And he was good with Stanley.

They were close.

That's why I'm asking.

Did Stanley say something to him?

Pushed him off-kilter.

Whatever he said, Stanley was unstable.

You can verify that with the other residents.

My wife even took him to the emergency room once

when he... Tried to hurt himself.

Your wife?

Yes. Beth.

You met her the first time you came out.

No, Mr. Pruitt.

I met your wife today.

Tracy.

She came in to talk.

Said the divorce wasn't final.

She's after my money.

What's your point?

You know, I got drunk last night.

Ended up getting married in Vegas. Yeah.

The form I had to sign

said that if you marry two people at once...

that's a federal crime.

Bigamy. Wait, that's bigamy.

- He got him on a technicality. - Yeah!

You see that, cliff? Probie just al Capone'd his ass.

Woo-hoo!

Who knew you had it in you, kid?

Well done.

You did good in there.

Start of an era.

Master interrogator.

Hope so.

If you're getting it annulled...

Why bother telling us it happened at all?

You love her?

Never mind.

None of my business.

See you tomorrow.

Newscaster Turner lived on a compound

known as "the range,"

where he helped run a plant nursery

with other residents.

Look, I know you were really getting to love that place,

horses.

This one's on me for bringing you there.

Reputation for its radical libertarian philosophies...

What now?

Attracting residents with similar beliefs.

I think I'll head out to Nevada.

See if I can't make myself useful

breaking in some of them wild mustangs.

The FBI found a manifesto in Turner's room that...

That new way you taught me worked pretty good.

That suggest Turner was planning the bombing for weeks.

You want to stay a couple days before you ship out?

Yeah.

Yeah, it'd be nice.

Though pruitt was arrested

on charges of bigamy, his involvement in the bombing,

if any, remains unclear.

Authorities are searching... You had quite the day?

Good news.

We don't have to go back to Nevada.

We can file all of the annulment stuff here.

Is your hangover as bad as mine?

What?

My gut's telling me

I'm not the kind of guy who gets an annulment.

It's also telling me...

I love you.

I love you, too.

I wasn't lying when I said I loved her.

Sometimes, a person shows up, right place, right time.

It's easy.

It's simple.

It's exactly what you need.

I waited for you at church.

What are you doing here?

Wanted to apologize.

I didn't know flaco called in that fake tip.

He shouldn't have done that to you.

Right place, right time, exactly what you need.

That's one kind of love.

But it only complicates the kind of love

that lasts forever.
