All language subtitles for NCIS New Orleans S07E08 Leda and the Swan (2)_Track03

DUI when I was in high school.

It wasn't me. I wasn't driving.
My brother was.

I have to decide
whether to maintain the story

and possibly get caught
in a lie.

And derail
your mother's confirmation.Uh-huh.

Or tell the truth.

And ruin your brother's career.

I'm a singer. A songwriter.

I came from Nashville
to make music.

You mean,
you were able to get me a job?

Got a lawyer in your bag?

I don't. She's upstairs.

Our victim is Lieutenant
Commander Amanda Gregson.

Amanda

was brutally murdered for looking into this assault.

Petty Officer Emily Tascioni

arrived at Belle Chasse
two months ago.

And if he killed
the petty officer's therapist,

that means he'll
probably go after her next.

Emily Tascioni was Commander
Gregson's sexual assault victim.

And she's gone.

Look, last time you talked
to my coworkers, Ted,

you claimed to have no idea who
our sexual assault victim was.

Now here you are
at her house.

I swear, I didn't know
that Petty Officer Tascioni

was the woman
your team was looking for.

Why'd you come here, then?Her CO

reached out to me.
He was worried

when she didn't show up
for work today.

Asked me to do a wellness check.

You move anything?No, ma'am.

Found it just like this.

So,

she missed one day of work.

Why call in the cavalry, then?

Her CO had been concerned
for a while.

Why's that?Tascioni

was never late for work,
always enthusiastic

no matter how dull the task.

Until a few weeks ago.
She became

withdrawn,
started making mistakes.

He knew she wasn't okay.

Lines up
with when she was assaulted.

Then a couple of days ago,
she found out

someone close to her
was killed.

Yeah,
that would be Amanda Gregson.

Amanda's death might have pushed
Emily over the edge.

Her place is a mess.

Sebastian's doing
a forensic sweep now.

Well, maybe this
could give us some answers.

I feel really silly doing this,

but you asked for it, so...

I'll give it a shot.

It was the first date I'd had
since I got transferred here.

We met at this Italian place
in Metairie.

Checkered tablecloths.

Singing waiters. Really cheesy.

It was okay, I guess.

Thank you.

Better than eating alone
in front of the TV.

I went to the bathroom
at one point.

That must be
when he spiked my drink.

I mean, I guess I can't know for sure,

but I started getting dizzy.

Slurring my words.

I couldn't even eat.

He said
that he would get me home

safe.

I must've blacked out,

because I was suddenly
in my bed,

naked.

And he was on top of me.

I tried to say no.

I tried to push back,

but I couldn't even move
my own body,

so I just pretended
to be unconscious.

Next morning...

...he was gone,

and I was covered in bruises.

I don't even know
everything he did to me.

But he did a lot.

I want to believe
what you told me.

That if I name
the man who raped me,

he'll be punished.

But that's not how things work.

And I'm so afraid now.

I'm afraid to go to work
and see him.

I'm afraid to be at home.

I'm afraid to close my eyes
and relive it all.

And I just don't know
what to do.

We have to find Emily.

Before this killer
finds her first.

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ How, how, how, how

♪ Hey, hey

♪ You gotta come on.

Good morning, Roy. Good morning.

Thought I'd bring you two

a little fuel

after pulling an all-nighter.

Appreciate it.

I had to force Tammyto take a break.

Well, I appreciate
you guys working all night.

Any leads?Yeah.

Patton's, uh, trackingher phone, credit cards.

Nothing still. Sebastiandid a sweep of her house

but didn't come up withany unknown fingerprints or DNA.

You thinking whoever
killed Amanda Gregson

went after Emily next?

Amanda was her therapist.
She was probably

the only other person
that knew about her assault.

The rapist had a motive

to go after both of them.Yeah, maybe.

But Emily never told Amanda

the name of her assaulter.Yeah,

but the suspect
doesn't know that.That's true.

Didn't Amanda note in her
files that Emily was attacked

by a coworker?There are about

a dozen men workingon the Drone project with Emily.

Checked their records?

All clean. However,

there were several sailorsthat were out

the nightthat Amanda was killed.

Partying in the Marigny.

PRIDE:The Marigny's

only a mile from where
Amanda was murdered.

Yeah. If he knew
where Amanda was gonna be,

he could've plannedthe outing as a cover.

Slip away from the group.

Track Amanda.
Dose her and stab her.Then make it back

in time for shots at the bar.
According to Fiona,

we know the attacker was white.

That nixes Petty OfficersTheo Desmond and Angelo Coleman.

Leaving Liam McCalland Jaxson Freeh.

Let's get their photos to Fiona.

She might recognize
one of them.

I'll get them over to Sebastian.He can swing by the bar.

Looks like you got a pretty
efficient system here.

Pride's been keeping me busy.

Next delivery is in 30 minutes,

and I still have
20 more to pack.

Oh, well, in that case,

four hands are better than two.Oh, no,you-you don't have to...

No, it's all right.

Looks like you've, uh,
settled in here.

Dr. Wade's beena wonderful landlady.

And I never dreamedof getting custody

of my daughter back so soon.

It's all because of you.

I don't know how
to say thank you. [chuckles]You don't have to. It was...

it was my pleasure.

I'm assumingyou didn't come here

because you loveto pack boxes.

I love packing boxes.

[chuckles]But, actually, no,

I did come here to
see if you could

help us out on this case.

I have some photos
to show you.Oh.

Do you recognize either of
these men from that night?

I mean, maybe.

I mean, maybe.
I'm, uh... I'm just not sure.

I'm sorry
you had to waste a trip out.Oh, it's not a waste.

Get to hang out, right?

That's sweet.

Petty Officer

Liam McCallhas a spotless record.

Jaxson Freeh, on the other hand,has some minor infractions.Alerted

the master-at-arms to
keep an eye on them.

If either of them try
to leave Belle Chasse,

we'll hear about it.

Should we question them?Not yet.

Tammy and Pride are talkingto the other two sailors

who were with them that night.See if they can poke some holes

in their alibi.You really thinkone of these guys is our killer?

I'm starting to.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Thought you had a flight.

I did, but I changed it.

Do you still likeyour cappuccino dry?

Not sure it was worth changing
your flight to come back here.

I've said everything
I have to say.

And I couldn't stopthinking about it.

I couldn't sleep at all.

The fact that you
lied to us for years,

that you got a DUI for
something your brother did.

Look, we've been through this.

Just let me finish.

What kept me up,

what made me want
to change my flight...

You sacrificed everything
for Brennan.

Come on, I was a kid.

I didn't have
that much to give up.You didn't even

think twice about it.

I didn't realize years later,

you'd be up for confirmation
in front of Congress, so...

[chuckles]Please.

The FBI is thorough
in their vetting process.

They're gonna find
the red light photo

that shows Brennan driving,
not me.

They could.Lying as a teenager's

one thing,
but lying under oath...

And if we come clean,

it could ruin
your brother's career.

And if we don't,
it'll derail your confirmation

and ruin your career.

So, you're just gonna
ignore the FBI?

Think it's the best bad option.

There has to be another way.

Look, it's your job
on the line.

I'll do whatever
you think is best.

We need to talk to Brennan.

He's got to have a say in this.All right.

But let me talk to him first.Okay.

But, Quentin,

don't keep me
out of the loop anymore.

We're in this together.

Not quite sure
what the big deal is.

Few of us went out drinking,
let off some steam.

In the Marigny
two nights ago, right?

Partying on a Tuesday
illegal now?

What kind of partying?

Only supposed to have
a couple beers,

but we got ambitious,

and the night
got away from us.

Got away from you how?

We hit the strip club.
Spent a month's pay.

Had some fun. But we were

respectful and courteous.

I'm sure the strippers
were impressed.

But not everyone had fun

that night, did they?

What are you talking about?

Well, one of your friends
slipped away, right?

Hard to say.Is it, though?

I'm not looking
to jam anyone up.

Jam them up for what?Well, sir,

you know better than me.

Maybe. But what

I don't know
is which one of your friends

did you lose track of
that night?

It was a long night,

but we were together
the whole time.

You sound confident.

It's not a complicated question.I wonder

if your buddy outside

feels that same kind
of confidence,

because if he says a
different story than you,

it's gonna put you
in a bad light.

Four of us went out.
Had a good time.

Came back to base together.

You were together
the whole time?

Yes, sir.
Nobody ever left my sight.

♪ Now, now, I wanna

♪ Tan for the top and then tan
for the bottom... ♪

Lucky you came when you did.

Usually wipe these
after a week.

HANNAH:Looks pretty busy
for a Tuesday night.

Busy every nightthese days.Hmm.

I thought COVID would
scare away customers.

Turns out, quarantine made 'em
even lonelier.

Hmm.And lonely men are
good for business.

Stop right there.

9:34 p.m.

Any chance you remember them?

Long as the customers
keep paying

and keep out of trouble,
they all run together.

When we were walking up here,
I saw a hallway to the left.

What does that lead to?

Restrooms, champagne room.

Any exits over there?No, but

there's an exit
in the dressing room,

but it's for performers only.

Can we take a look?

♪ Work, work, work, work,
work... ♪

Knock first.

The afternoon
shift's coming in.

Either of you work
on Tuesday night?

After all these months off,
we take every shift we can get.

Leads to an alley,
but there's a camera.

Oh, that's been
busted for weeks.

Any customers ever
come through here?

Against the rules.

You wouldn't

remember either of these guys,
would you?

♪ Left cheek, right cheek,
left cheek, right cheek... ♪

What is it?

He's a regular.

Or was before COVID.

Haven't seen him around
as much, thankfully.

Why thankfully?

Let's just say
he's one of the reasons

we have so many rules.And so many bouncers.

He's been 86'd
half a dozen times.

But they let him back?He spends money.

Brings in other sailors.

Promises to be good,
and he is for a while,

but then something else happens.

What kind of something else?

He's gotten real rough
in the champagne room.

Couple girls
quit over it.

Not allowed back
there anymore.

Okay, but he was in
the club on Tuesday?

Yeah, um,
we stayed away from him,

but like I said,
he spends money.

Some of the others put up
with it.

Any chance he was
back here that night?

We were busy
with other customers.

Sorry.We got to get to work.

Sure.

Look, Liam McCall
may have a spotless record,

but he's not a nice guy.

Yeah, and if he's a
regular, he'd know how

to avoid the cameras,
slip in, slip out

without anybody even noticing.

Which makes him
our number one suspect.

Hey. Any luck tracking down
Emily Tascioni?

Nada. No ping on the cell phone,
no activity on the credit cards.

I'm hoping that's because
she's being smart on the run.

Think there's a chance
that Liam found her first?

Not since we've been
keeping an eye on him.

He's been stuck
at Belle Chasse all day.

You gonna pick him up?We don't have enough on him.

Other than him not being liked
at the strip club,

unless you found something.

I've been digging in,
but I'm not sure

what I have is useful so far.

Liam McCall.

Petty Officer First Class.

Ten years in the Navy,
and he's been

at Belle Chasse for six months.

Working alongside Emily
on a long-range tactical drone.

What about before that?

Bounced around a lot
internationally.

Japan, Spain, Greece.

Short-term assignments?

Less than a year at each one.

That's unusual.

I spoke to one of his old COs.

They considered him
a ladies' man.

That's one way to put it.

Any complaints ever filed?

Nah, just a lot
of transfers.

Could fit a pattern
of bad behavior.

He acts out,
supervisor sends him packing.

Back-channel justice.

That's what our murder victim,

Amanda Gregson,
was trying to do.

And since Emily felt
uncomfortable stepping forward,

if you can't arrest him,

make him somebody else's
problem, right?

I'm gonna keep
looking for Emily.

You find a way
to bring Liam down.

All right.

So, you weren't able

to connect
with your brother at all?

Brennan's been deployed,
unreachable for three weeks.

It's probably not a good idea
to text him about it.

We don't have three weeks.

Okay, so, uh, we have to decide
how to move forward ourselves.

Do I come clean
about the DUI not being mine,

or hope the FBI don't ask?

Lynette Carter?

Rita Devereaux speaks
very highly of you.

You must be Dwayne.

Yes, ma'am.

I heard that
Rita moved here.

A big loss for Justice.

She was one of
the great ones.Still is.

How is she?Well, if you could
carve out some time

for dinner tomorrow night,
we'd be happy

to cook for you, for

both of you,
and you can ask her yourself.

Well, uh, actually, we...

We would love it.

Thank you.Table for four it is.

We would? Okay,
well, you know, I, uh,

work really hard
to keep personal

and professional separate.

Quentin, we're just talking
about one dinner.

One dinner leads to birthday
parties, drinks, baby showers.

Oh, no, you're right.
It sounds terrible.

Look, I got to run.
We'll talk later.

Okay.

Petty Officer McCall.

Only a matter of time.

Don't seem too surprised
to see us.Well,

you questioned my friends,

restricted my movements
to base only.

You want to come back to NCIS
with us, answer some questions?

[laughs]I don't think so.
I'm late for work.

Yeah, we'll talk here.

You want to ask me
about Tuesday night.

I'm gonna tell you
what my boys already said.

We got wasted, went to the club
and came home together.

Actually, we want to ask you

about another night
when you took Emily Tascioni

out to dinner a few weeks ago.

And drugged her
and raped her.

CARTER:Oh, did she say
something funny?

'Cause we take allegations
of rape seriously.

I'm sorry.
Did Emily tell you that?

'Cause I'm the one who should be
filing a complaint.

And why is that?

That dinner was two hours
of my life I won't get back.

That's not how we heard it.

Oh, so did she file a complaint?

We're not at liberty to...I know she didn't.

If she had, you'd be compelled
to take me with you,

but you're not, are you?

Well, since you drove
all this way,

I'll tell you what happened.
We met at the restaurant.

She got super drunk,
didn't eat her food.

And I drove her home.
End of story.

Now I got to go.

Hey, we're not done here.

You need to get out of my way.

And you need to watch your tone.

Hey, I'm just trying
to get to work,

serve my country.

Ooh.Regretting that
third helping?

I'm regretting
that my stomach isn't bigger.

I'm glad you liked the brisket.

It's my mom's recipe.

Oh, where's your mom now?

Nashville, where I'm from.Ah.

But I haven't seen her
since I left with Rory's dad.

Over four years ago now.

I can't even remember the last
time I spoke with my mother.

She's never met Rory.

Oh, you should reach out.

Uh... it's complicated.

She never understood why
I came here in the first place,

let alone raising
Rory all by myself.

I always thought after

she was born, she mightreach out, but she didn't, so...Mm.

Well, if it's important
to restore the relationship,

you may have
to make the first move.

Not sure I'm there yet.

Oh, you could tell
her your big news.

What news is that?Pride asked Fiona

to sing one of her songs at
his next concert in the park.

Oh, that's wonderful.It's terrifying.

I've never performed in front
of that big of an audience.

Ever.You're gonna be great.

Thank you.

I'll go get dessert.

Well, for God's sake,

when are you gonna ask
the girl out on a proper date?

What? What? Where
is this coming from?

Sebastian, read the room.

You've been eyeing
each other all night.

I just... I don't want
her to feel pressured

'cause I helped
her out, you know.

She's a grown woman
with a child.

She's perfectly capable
of making a decision.

And you certainly need
to make a move here.

Oh.

Early morning?

Ah, couldn't
stop thinking

about Hannah and Carter's chat
with Liam McCall yesterday.

Been over their report
several times.

Yeah, well, not the first
suspect to stonewall.You know,

it was his attitude--
dismissive,

lack of remorse, victim blaming.

Liam McCall is a bully.

Hurts women to feel powerful.

He thinks he wants power,

but what he really wants
is respect.

That requires admiration,

which is hard
to come by.

Exactly, so he gets mad,
and he takes that rage,

and he directs it at the people
he thinks are responsible.

Like Emily Tascioni.

Emily was just a stand-in
for all the other women

in his life
who have disrespected him,

and she wasn't the first.

Patton dug into Liam's
pre-Navy history.

He was accused of sexual
assault in college.

Charges were never prosecuted,

and the victim wouldn't testify.

Any other accusations?

Navy record was spotless.

That's military culture.

He knew women wouldn't

put their career
on the line to come forward.

Especially in cases where
it's he said, she said.

And what happened
to Emily wasn't a fluke.

It's a pattern.It will happen again.Unless we stop it.

King?Yeah.

Got a lead on Emily, but I don't

think you're gonna like it.

What'd you find?

Park ranger reported
her car parked overnight

near the Cameron Prairie
Wildlife Preserve.

It's a good place to hide out.

Or to dump a body.

Ranger says
this is overflow parking.

Been shut down
for a couple months.

Any of them
check the car?

No, they stayed back
until we got here.

Okay.

Tinted windows.

Can't see a damn thing. Hello?

NCIS!

Emily?

I got a bad feeling, Pride.

It's empty.

[gun clicks]Who the hell are you?

We're NCIS.

We know about Liam.

We're here to help.

But first,

we need you
to put the gun down.

I felt wrong ever since I told
Amanda what happened to me.

Wrong how?

Something in my gut.

I knew Liam was capable
of horrible things.

And I knew she wasn't
gonna let this go.

Then I heard
Amanda was murdered.

So you ran?

Not at first.

I thought about calling NCIS,
telling you what happened,

but he knows where I live.
I knew I wasn't safe.

You've been here two days?No.

I keep moving. I don't want
to be in one place for too long,

'cause he can
track me down.

Well, you're safe now, and
it's gonna stay that way.

Liam McCall won't hurt you.

You arrested him?

We're working on it.

Then you can't promise me

that I'm safe.We can if you help us.

Help you how?

Go on record
about what Liam did to you.

No. Look what happened
to the last person I told.

Amanda didn't even have all
the details. I did that to her.

No.

Liam McCall did that to her.

He'll do it to me, too.

We won't let that happen.

You've got two choices.

You can keep on running,

always looking over
your shoulder.

Or you can come with us

and help us stop Liam McCall
from ever hurting a woman again.

Hey. Emily's set
up in a hotel.

Officers are rotating
in shifts throughout the night.

Keep her safe.All right, great.

Hopefully now she'll get
a full night's sleep.

Pride sent over her statement?Yeah.

But it's nothing we didn't
already know.

At least now it's
on the record, though.

This happened a month ago.

She didn't have a rape kit
done at urgent care.

She didn't tell any friends.

So it's her word against his?

Might have problems making
sexual assault charges stick.

No. But murder is still
on the table.

Emily's statement might be
enough to get us a warrant

for Liam's house and car.

I'll start making some calls.

Okay.

I will never forget the look
on Judge Randall's face

when you told him where
he could shove that gavel.

Whoa.

You laugh,

but I barely avoided
a contempt charge.

Ate crow for months.

It was worth it.

I never get the opportunity to
vent like that in the Pentagon.

Well, maybe that will change
when you're

Under Secretary of the Navy.

I don't think I'll
find that out.

I'm withdrawing my name.

You're what?

But they already started
the confirmation.I changed my mind.

The process is too intrusive.

I'm actually considering going
into the private sector.

Oh, you'll get flooded
with offers.

Mm.But you wanted this job.

You're just, what, giving up?

Quentin, we're guests here.
This conversation can wait.

No, no.

No, it can't.

You're doing this to
protect Brennan, aren't you?

I am doing this because a mother
sacrifices for her children.

I'm gonna go open
some more wine. Excuse me.

And I'm gonna get the dessert.

I've made my decision.

So you're sacrificing your
career to prove a point.
Yes.

It's a mother's responsibility.

Brennan is an adult.

He can take responsibility
for his own actions.

This isn't just about Brennan.

Thank you for dinner.
It was really delicious.

Appreciate it.

Somebody mention more wine?

Try me again. This time...

It's gonna work this time,
I promise.
Okay.

Ready?
Yeah.

It was right there.
I'm, ah... Mm.

So much for being your
high school champion.I promise that I was.

I'm not making it up.
It was in my yearbook.

Oh, sure, okay.

Mm.

Well, everyone knows it's easier
when you throw it to yourself.

Mm. Sure. Yeah.It's ridiculous.

Keep telling yourself that.

So I was kind of surprised
that you asked me out tonight.

Like a, like a good surprise
or a bad surprise?

Well, I asked Dr. Wade
to babysit.
Mm-hmm.

I showered.
Nice.

I drove here.
Um, now we're watching...Mm-hmm.

Modern classic.

So I'll let you
fill in the blanks.

You want me to
fill in the blanks?

I'm not great at that.

I feel like there'stoo many possibilities,
you know what I mean?

Like when I get a Mad Lib
put in front of me, I...

Does that answer your question?

Um, I'm not sure.

I feel like it needs
to be answered again.

So, how was dinner last night?Fine.

Went that well?

Let's just say it reminded me
why I joined the Marine Corps

and stopped going
to family events.

Okay, now this is bordering
on harassment.

We brought you a present.

We're gonna be searching
your house and your vehicle,

so step aside.Absolutely not.

Okay, well, we could cuff you
and you could watch

from the back of our car;
it's your choice.

I told you we weren't done yet.

How about those fireworks
last night?

Yeah, sorry about that.

Didn't intend to air my family's

dirty laundry out over dinner.Families fight.

It happens.

That woman is stubborn
as a mule.Maybe.

But she also seems like
a woman

who'd do anything
for her kids.

Yeah, at least one of 'em.

You upset because
she's stepping down

or because you think she's only
doing it for your brother?

Hey, King.
Seems like our boy Liam

liked playing on the dark web.

Spent serious Bitcoin to buy
drugs from South Africa.

Methaqualone.

You know, I'd never heard of it
until this case.

Quaaludes, my friend.

Disco biscuits.

They were the drug of choice
long before you was born.

They banned 'em, like,
30 years ago.

PRIDE:According to Amanda's
tox report,

she had traces of methaqualone
in her system when she died.

Probably the same drug
he used on Emily, too.

Yeah. That's good work, P.
Keep on digging.

I'm on it.

How was last night?

Emily?

Sorry. I just...You're safe now.

We've got officers posted 24/7.

Physically, yeah.

But in here...

I can't stay asleep,
and when I do, I dream.

PTSS.

Wouldn't be surprising after
everything you've been through.

When I'm awake,
it's no better.

A living nightmare.

Well, if it's any consolation,

your CO agreed to drop
any UA charges,

so you can go back to work
when you're ready.

That's good, right?I'm not sure I'll
ever be ready.

You will.

I know it feels
hopeless right now.

It's gonna take a lot
of time and energy

to even feel halfway normal,
but you got to try.

You got to look to
your future, sweetheart.

Maybe I can give it a shot when
you tell me he's behind bars.

We're doing everything
we can, Emily.

Actually, I was hoping to
get your thoughts on something.

I already told you everything.

No, it's not about that night,
it's about Liam's friends.

Jaxson, Theo, Angelo.
They're tight, right?

Liam showed up six months ago
and they flocked to him.

Real alpha energy.

Any of 'em ever show
any backbone?

Bristle at his control?

I don't understand.

In order to prove that
Liam had the opportunity

to kill Amanda, we have to
poke a hole in his alibi.

Look at Angelo.

I always got the sense
he didn't care for Liam

as much as the others.

Good.

Petty Officer Coleman.

Oh, come on,
I'm with my kid.

Yeah, he looks like a good kid.

I already talked
to the other guy.

Yeah, you told him
you didn't want to

jam anyone up.

Do you even know
what Liam did?

Some misunderstanding
with Emily Tascioni.

NCIS doesn't investigate
misunderstandings.

Liam's gonna be charged
with rape and murder.

What are you talking about?

I heard Emily is okay.

Emily's alive.
Okay is another matter.

Now, in order to
cover up his rape,

Liam stabbed a Navy therapist

on the night that
he was out with you.

[scoffs]You can't know that
for sure because I...

We do.

And we're gonna prove it.
And you're gonna help.

I told you everything I know.Yeah.

You guys went out to the club,

Liam was with you
all night long.

He drove us there,
he drove us back.

Look, I can tell you that
lying makes you an accessory,

that you could get
into deep trouble.

But if I were you,

I would think more
about my boy.

What kind of example
I want to set for him.

What kind of man I want him
to grow up to be.

I want to help you, but I can't.

All he needed
was 30 minutes.

Maybe he went out
to have a smoke,

take a long bathroom trip.

A dance in the champagne room.

He was gone for a while.

I thought Liam was banned
from private dances.

That's what I thought, too.

What was so urgent, Sebastian?

So, if Liam drove
everyone to the club,

then he must have also
driven to the coffee shop

to find Amanda, right?

Right.

It's the only way he could have
pulled it off in 30 minutes.

You're thinking Liam tracked
some of Amanda's blood

into his car?

Well, when we checked the car,
it had been wiped clean.Right.

Then I started thinking,

what are some of
the first things you do

when you get in your car?

Turn the ignition.After that.

Put it in gear.Before that.

Sebastian.

Put on your seat belt.
Yeah.

We found a biological sample
that matched Amanda's DNA.

Amanda's blood inside
Liam's car?

That is about as far from
circumstantial as you can get.

Yeah.

I thought you'd be happier

about nailing this
creep for murder.

No, it's good, I just
keep thinking about Emily.

She deserves closure.

You want him on
the rape charge, too.

I want him to admit what he did.

Validate her experience,
and accept responsibility.

That's a tall order.
Let's see what we can do.

Well, here we go again.
What do you got this time?

Liam McCall, you're under arrest

for the murder
of Amanda Gregson.

A-Are you kidding me?

You guys have got the wrong guy.

Yeah?
I'm innocent.

Oh, well, it's about time.

I'll have you know, as
soon as I get out of here,

I'm suing this
whole department.

Y-You can't just drag
innocent people down here

and try to bluff your
way to a confession.

You think we're bluffing?

You barely had enough evidence
for a search warrant,

let alone convict me of murder.

Something funny?

You're not talking
like an innocent man.

You're talking like a guilty man
who thinks he got away with it.

Okay.

Here's a purchase order

from South Africa
for methaqualone.

Metha what?Amanda Gregson's
tox screen,

which shows a high level
of methaqualone

in her blood on the night
that she was killed.

Emily Tascioni's statement
which details when and how

you raped her.

You think anyone's
gonna believe that?

Angelo Coleman's statement,
your buddy,

who refutes your alibi,

says there was a period
of at least 30 minutes

where you were unaccounted for.

I was getting a private dance.

Signed statements
from all of the dancers

who worked that night,

confirming that
none of them

ever gave you a dance.

Bunch of drug addicts
and whores.

I'm a petty officer
with a spotless record.

Here's the kicker.

Traces of Amanda
Gregson's blood

on your car's seat belt clip.

No. No, that's impossible.

I-I've never even
heard of Amanda.

You need to recognize
what kind of trouble

you're in here, Petty Officer.

You ordered the drugs,

you stalked Amanda Gregson
and you stabbed her.

That's premeditated
first-degree murder,

and carries a death sentence
in the state of Louisiana.

Or...

...we can make a deal.

What kind of deal?

Admit to raping Emily Tascioni,

I'll push for
the murder charges

to be tried
in a JAG military court.

What difference would that make?

JAG courts haven't
handed out the death penalty

in over 60 years.

How much time?

25 to life.

That's not a deal.

It's the best
you're ever gonna get.

And when I walk
out of this room...

...the offer walks with me.

Wait.

He confessed?

I can't believe
this is real.

It's as real as it gets.

It's gonna be a long time
before I feel like myself again,

but this helps.

Does this mean you're
going back to work?

Eventually.
Mm.

But right now,
I'm meeting with SAPR.

The Navy's Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response team?

The master-at-arms Amanda
was working with

reached out to me, told me
what they were trying to do.

Yeah, get Liam transferred.

That kind of back-channel
justice has to stop.

It's not a solution.

You're bringing
the fight to them?

Somebody has to give
these women a voice.

And I can't let
anyone else

go through what I did.

Well, that's very brave.

And whatever
you need,

I'm here to help, okay?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

♪ The only thing I want
to see is you... ♪

Knock, knock.

Sebastian, you shouldn't have.

Uh, what, come back here?

'Cause I didn't know
if I was supposed to, and--

I don't know, maybe
it was too much,

the whole flower thing.No, it's just right.

Okay.I meant you didn't need

to go to all the effort.Oh, come on, no.

Someone had to be back here
with you in the wings, you know?

Wishing you luck,
telling you to break

something.

Thank you. Yeah, no,
I am a little nervous.

What? Come on, you're
gonna be amazing.

I don't know.Trust me, all right?

And tomorrow, I was thinking
we could celebrate.

Go get dinner,
dessert, maybe

go to this ax-throwing bar
I keep hearing about.

Or, judging by your expression,

thinking maybe you're not
into the dessert thing,

so we'll just do dinner
and ax throwing.

No, it's not that. It's, um...

I've been talking
to my mom again.

Oh, yeah? You called her?Yeah.

After what Dr. Wade said
at dinner, I-I reached out.

And it turned out
she was just as scared

to make the first move.

Well, that's awesome.

She wants to meet Rory,
of course.

And, um,

well, she said I could
move back home if I wanted.

Oh, okay-- wow.

That's, uh,
is that--

Is-- Do you want to?

Kind of, yeah. I mean,

on the one hand, she could watch
Rory while I work.

Rory would get to know
her family.Mm-hmm.

And I could write again,

in Nashville,
which has always been my dream.

Um...

is there, is there room
on the other hand, or...?

Well, I met
a really great guy...

...and I'd miss him a lot.

That's me, right?

Yes, I'm talking about you.Okay.

Had to be sure.
Just got nervous.

I don't know.
What do you think I should do?

Honestly?

I mean, how can you not go back?

Just as long
as you promise me something.Mm.

When you get big,
don't forget about me, okay?

And I need you to
write a song about me,

and I need it to be a ballad.

Hey, I never said
I wanted to stop doing this.

Really? Well, I mean,

Nashville's, like, a, like,
a ten-hour drive.

Uh, actually,
it's seven hours and 49 minutes.

I mean, I do like a girl
who does her research.

Headed to the airport?

Yeah, I was hoping that we could
talk before I left.

I tried calling.

What's there to talk about?

You made your decision.

I should have
told you in private.

Brennan will be relieved
when he finds out.

Have a safe flight.Quentin, please.

I'm trying to
explain myself here.

I believed the worst in you
when you were a teenager,

and I am so sorry.

It breaks my heart that you went
through that alone.

It's-it's, uh, it's in the past.

I failed you then.

And I know that
that makes it hard

for you to believe me now,

but what you did for Brennan,

was quite noble.

And I am so proud

of the man that you have become.

Mom.And you think
that I am

stepping down
to protect Brennan,

but really,
I want to protect you, too.

And if that means
me giving up

a promotion so that both
of my sons can thrive?

That is the easiest decision
I've ever made.

I understand.

And I appreciate it.

♪ Oh.

You know, I hear Nashville
has great barbecue.

I hope it's not too spicy,
you know? I can barely handle

a 2,500 on the Scoville scale.

WADE:Long distance is hard,
but people make it work.

GREGORIO:You know what they say,
better to have loved

than to keep kicking
your roommate out of her house.

Oh, you're one to talk.

You and Kara kick me out,
like, twice every week.

Relax. It's nice to get out,
get some fresh air.

You know what's good for you?
