I see you're still prepping for your big interrogation. Frank doesn't think I'm

ready. There are two churches.

What are you doing at mine? Are you following me? Who was that? The guy I've

been seeing.

He drives off on you like that again.

I'll break his leg. 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. A guy

Abe Pruitt runs it. We take in anyone who needs a job.

You okay?

Got a little overzealous.

Wife's guilty of encouraging you. You ever feel like that? Like the planet's

a rope around your neck?

Kid gives me the creeps.

I don't want to break up.

I pronounce you husband and wife.

What?

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.

And there's also blank spaces, but the clear pieces... Yeah.

Was it my idea?

The guy at the craps table with the gold tooth.

Pretty sure it was his idea.

You want to...

Order breakfast and 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

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?

That's my pager.

Have you seen it?

Do you remember where you had it last?

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

Oh, 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.

Oh, my God.

I gotta get back.

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

Oh, where are my pants?

They're over there. 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 Oceanside movie dome 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 police.

Brando, it's Ward.

ATF swept the building. We're clearing the surrounding area. Where's Broby?

Circus. What? Gail said he was going to 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 him 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

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

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

Newly promoted.

AJ Swanson, Mike Franks, NIS.

Josephine Swanson.

Pleasure.

Randolph. Congrats on the promotion.

He's community.

Sorry, could you not smoke in here?

I'm mathematic.

Are we getting anything off the tape?

There's just the one angle. Thankfully, it was a midnight showing. Theater was

mostly empty.

Oh, 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? Say Giblin, circus.

Oh, um, yeah, 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.

Slips the switch.

And exits the theater.

Roll it back.

Not too far. Let me see. I got it.

I got it. I know what I'm looking for. I can work my own controls, woman.

Please do not address me as a woman. We got him here, looking towards the

camera. Breathe it right there.

Yeah.

Image is a bit grainy, but we get it up to the local news, engage the public.

Who knows?

You got something, boss? You know this guy?

Switching off your radio while I'm speaking to you is not acceptable. As I

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 points

on this raid.

Abe, I will knock this cake down!

Where's my brother? Agent Frank?

Where's Stanley Turner? Where's Mason? You 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. Get you to move.

Bravo, team.

Let's go.

Line up here, please.

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

With me.

Hey! Hey!

The hell's my brother?

I heard Stanley's name on the scanner.

He said what he did.

He shows you.

Where's Mason?

Fuck!

Fuck. I 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!

What the hell's all this?

Kid Stanley blew up a movie theater. What? Where were you?

Back with the horses. Is the kid back there? No, I haven't seen him since

yesterday. Look at you.

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

Mikey? No.

All right, listen up. Franks!

No sign of Turner.

We did find fertilizer in the nursery, likely matched the bomb remnants in the

theater, and bringing everyone in for quests sitting on the whereabouts of

Stanley Turner.

Is that your brother?

He's coming with me. I was given authorization by both FBI Director

Special Agent Wheeler. He said he's coming with me. And I said it's an acute

concept 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

the rest.

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

Mr. Pruitt?

Oh. You'll be traveling with Agent Franks. Don't let him get you talking,

you in trouble for something he didn't do. I said, you don't know nothing. Hold

to that.

Yeah.

Oceanside bombing tip line, please hold. Okay, but was it a blonde mullet? Okay,

what's your tip?

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

Mary Jo, where is everybody?

They're still at the ranch? Look at you, sunglasses.

Were they giving those away at the circus?

What? I passed along your message that you were at the Barnum and Bailey this

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

Oh, at the Circus Circus Hotel?

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

I almost got arrested.

Gibbs, you better get in there. Frank has been asking me all morning, what

does the circus end? Mary Jo, is that Gibbs?

Glad you could make it. Get Nelson Ryan.

Circus is an interactive mic.

What's with the sunglasses?

Uh, 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. Brando, these tags up to date? Uh, yeah, boss. Not

sure how credible the sources are, but it looks like most of them are in the

Gaslamp 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?

Oh,

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 a ceremony.

I think he's still drunk.

He's only funny when he's drunk.

He's a regular guy. He did the ceremony.

Elvis already clocked out.

Uh, congratulations.

When's the annulment?

Let's go!

Can't let Proby's drunken life mistakes keep us from hunting down our yahoos. Y

'all got anything else I could grill a prude on?

Uh, Stanley Turner came up to the foster care system. We contacted his last

guardians. They said they didn't know anything, but I think they're holding

back. Proby!

Pop in a stick and double me. You're with me. Where are we going? You showed

on time like the rest of us. You know it proves waiting in the conference room.

Where are the rest of my people?

They ain't in harm's way.

Your brother's still with them?

Mason didn't know anything about this.

Did you?

No.

Kid never talked about doing this sort of thing.

Never had any bad ideas put in his head.

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

I mean, Stanley spent a lot of time alone, but I never thought he was

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 closed with them.

I mean, Stephen 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 them.

So they trust you?

Yeah, I never gave them a reason not to.

The Oscar folks, they talk to us, but they trust Dave. I'm gonna head to their

house and take them with.

Smart. I wasn't asking for an opinion.

You're a mess.

Just stay here. You help Mary Jo and the girls with the tip line.

You want me to answer phones?

Quality. Chef Pro will be up with your magic phone so we can help the girls

the tip line.

There you go.

How you doing, kid?

Man, peachy.

So I heard you got hitched, huh?

Well, getting an annulment.

You got my interrogation tapes?

Oh, 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.

And where's this magic phone?

Meet the Merlin.

I ordered it out of a Japanese catalog.

It's got 24 lines and auto -hold capabilities, so it'll never drop a

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

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.

Stephen?

Okay.

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

With another guy.

Cowboy looking fella.

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

Guy named Mason?

Yeah. You know him?

When I was in here talking to him, Stanley went out to the garage to tune

old racing motorcycle.

I followed him out. I thought he'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.

I have gas.

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 going to love me anymore. That's what Stanley kept saying before

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

How much gas did he take?

Two gallons.

Oh, we're sorry. We should have called someone. We just, we were scared.

Mike, it doesn't mean that Mason was involved. It could be he didn't know

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

interest. I told you Ed 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

Give and take. That's how this joint thing works. Oh, I'm aware of how a

investigation works. Give and take.

Tell her, Cliff. Give and take.

Cliff, tell her, damn it.

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

bombing, with the exception of Mason Frank.

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 ab gas from the garage.

So Mason didn't know that Stanley took the gas. No.

Did you ask him? Well, he claimed he didn't know anything about it, but you

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 with the FBI in profiling courses.

Strickland? What do you have?

Uh, 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 Ruach Salem.

It speaks Spanish.

It's Latin.

What does it mean?

Nah. 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'm not compelled to take orders

you.

She's not.

Okay, big fella, I know you're overstimulated, but you need to put your

this Latin thing with me.

Let's go.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm. Got it.

Franklin, hi. Stanley Turner seems...

Weird to you and our 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 all right.

Yeah. I need to go help look into the 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.

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 it.

To push him.

He drowned.

Why would I want to watch myself?

Wait for it.

What did happen?

He was about to break and then... What did you do?

I didn't do anything.

You punched the table like a dumbass.

Yeah. I gotta get back to that 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

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

interested in talking about your drunk wedding on the way over.

Keep moving, honey. She's waiting in the car.

Kid's really a work in progress, huh?

Uh -huh.

Que paso, 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 looks 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?

I 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 buck a 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 call that a fake tip?

Yeah, because 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.

You're after quite a few people. Flaco, she doesn't have any new thoughts on

Luna.

What do you know about our thoughts?

No.

Let's go.

You from the bar?

Shouldn't have 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 Flacco's guy? I'm seeing him. You said you were seeing the Impala

guy. I lied to get you off my back.

Why is 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

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 USC. Should be calling us back shortly. They didn't

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

Mayor Joe, this is Watson. Call Wheeler. Say something about a lie detector.

Mayor Joe!

Damn intercom ain't working. It's probably just in the bathroom. Ah,

gonna break it. So I won't ever get approved from Merlin's in here.

FBI found Stanley's car here.

He said it's a bomb theater, then what?

Public transportation aware.

We checked with the cab companies. Yeah, and buses. No reported sightings. Let

justice be done, though the heavens may fall.

That's what the Latin means. Well, how'd you find out?

I ran into MJ in the bathroom. She told me Kowalski speaks Latin from his holy

days. It's a legal phrase.

Courthouse is here.

A block away from the movie theater. No, that couldn't be a second target. It

doesn't make sense.

Why bomb a movie theater, then a courthouse in the same four -block

Randall, call up the courthouse. See if they evacuated when the bomb went off at

the Moot Theater. Copy. They evacuated all the buildings in the area, but they

let everybody back in around noon.

Bomb goes off at the Moot Theater here.

Night court folk, evacuate through this emergency exit door.

Door's open.

People run out of the courthouse.

You could slip in through a door that's usually locked, bypass security.

Blow the movie theater, get a second bomb into the courthouse. That was his

target. 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.

NIS.

Mike!

Second floor is clear.

You think he's still inside?

He didn't set off the bomb yet. Possibly he's waiting on something.

Clear it up. Clear it. Tell him 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?

You know, Woody says he's on to something.

He requested all the photos of the range from the first time he went there on

the Myers case.

Well, Frank sent you back because you're hungover, huh?

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 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 be 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?

From 1951 to 1953, I was a POW at Pax 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, huh?

What has to live underneath any of that?

I don't know.

You.

You got great instincts, kid.

You do.

You gotta be thinking, what would you do? Not what would Franks do.

And every time you step foot in that box, you gotta listen to your gut.

And when you're outside of that box, you gotta listen to your gut, too.

Nobody goes to Vegas and gets a drunk kitch without needing a gut check.

That's the real takeaway from all this.

You got me?

Excuse me, Gibbs.

Vera's looking for you.

You give me the pictures and I'll have them carried over to Woody for you.

Thanks, Kowalski.

Hi, Yap. 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.

Oh, and if you need any help with the annulment paperwork, I have experience.

You've had an annulment?

Two. But don't tell Gail, because she gets judgy.

Uh, 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.

Ah, 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. 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 won the theater.

Oh, right. I don't know him. But I'm wondering, is there any documentation

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 roadblock

Turner's long gone. He left the area.

Yeah, I do gotta yell, because you ain't listening.

What the heck is that about?

FBI Swanson is a new Oakley. She's holding Frank's brother for questioning.

Yeah, she's refusing to release him, so Frank is getting surly with her. But

actually, he pretty much hated her for no reason from the get -go. Even though

Frank's got a brother. That ain't what I said, I swear to God, woman.

Curry dropped off these photos we were waiting on.

Swanton! Great, why don't you get to work on those, will you?

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, huh?

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 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 ain't saying

something.

Talk about sexual tension, huh?

She won't tell me nothing about Macy. I told her to 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 freaking unbelievable.

No way. We were right?

Hell yeah, we were.

All this stuff was confiscated from Stanley Turner's room. Grown man with a

rat? That should have been Abe's first clue something was off. The hamster bug.

Don't that make it worse?

Found a powdery substance caked on the bottom of the cage here.

Found a same powdery substance in the bottom of Mr. Ellison'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

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

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

this, Woody. See the uniformity? Yeah, the uniformity is super apparent.

These periwinkles are fake.

Phil and I did it again. The streak continues.

Why would you put fake flowers in a plant nursery?

You can't just come in here. This is unlawful. Randall, keep them there.

This is unfair to my people. Mr. Pruitt?

Stay back. I need to see the warrant. Show me a warrant. Stand back.

A fake.

Hey.

Mike! Buddy!

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, ain't Pruitt and Holden saying he don't know nothing about

We buying that or not? Pruitt to the head and 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's conflict.

Stanley seemed like he could be manipulated, boss.

Tango say homicide or suicide?

Inconclusive. The 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 and Barnes from buying the range

of land.

Pruitt was gonna lose and he knew it. If a bomb goes off at that hearing, that

buys them time.

He was breaking them wild horses. He was waiting on a contract with the Bureau

of Land Management.

He needed Tom Pruitt to go through.

A deal with BLM would stop anyone from coming after his land ever again.

He manipulates Stanley Turner into targeting the courthouse. Plan goes

Stanley comes back home.

Pruitt shoots him to tie up loose ends.

If that's what happened, we have zero hard evidence to time to any of this.

Pruitt is a freaking mastermind.

What about his shoes?

If he shot Stanley in that basement room... Woody's double -checking, but

was no concrete powder on him. There was nothing on him. Fruit wiped him clean.

He's my brother to break them horses.

Brando tossed me my Walkman. I need pregame before I get in the box with

son of a bitch.

Frank?

I'm sorry, boss. I thought you were looking. My back. Frank, I just got off

phone with FBI agent Swanson. She is on her way over to talk to Wheeler. About

my brother?

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

Clear! He's not up there. He's at Daly's. I told him the last once and no.

How's he doing at Daly's?

Tough day, you know.

You work with a guy longer than your marriage lasted.

That's a lot of years.

Talking about the FBI guy?

Noah Oakley, yeah.

You two were close, huh?

I don't know.

I spent my day trying to set troubled youth on the 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

it's over. I haven't 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 were dumb putting my brother in the middle of your BS.

You're going to turn around, you're going to order that lie detector, and

going to 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, Mr. DeMason 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

someone other than Franks for any future joint investigation.

Granted.

Thank you, sir.

He's, uh... It's good news about Mason.

I, uh... Have a drink, Mike.

You look tense.

I think Ed Pruitt's in on the bombing.

Possible that he offed Stanley Turner to tie up Lou Sands. What's he saying?

I gotta 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'm off nothing.

Kits him over 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 hard to stay mad at.

I'm not mad at him.

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 on that planner were always dying, so we put in a fake bed for some

advertising photos.

Now I know why the real flowers were... Pardon me.

Is that a glass from Daily's?

Yeah, Smitty knows we'll bring them back.

How's the kid doing?

Better than last time.

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

Stanley, uh, must have discovered the room and kept it to himself.

He always, uh... had pets in cages.

He wanted to let him out in his bedroom, but we asked him not to.

So we must have 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 Wilton and Barnes from taking our land.

He loved those animals.

He would do anything for them.

Yeah, he's a damn pro.

Former lawyer, master manipulator. There's no way this dude breaks.

You can't just let him out. She's right.

He goes back on the street. What's he going to do next?

Go on, yeah. 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.

Stanley say something to him.

Push him off guilt here.

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.

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 his head. Oh,

yeah.

You see that, Cliff?

Probably just Al Capone's ass.

Who knew you had it in your kid? Well done.

It 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.

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

Horses.

This one's on me for bringing there.

What now?

I think I'll head out to Nevada.

See if I can't make myself useful breaking in some of them wild mustangs.

That new way you taught me worked pretty good.

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

Yeah.

Yeah, it'd be nice.

You had quite the day, huh?

Oh, 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.

Not waiting for you at church?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to apologize.

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

I 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.
