04x19 - Everybody Hates Kathy
Posted: 10/29/20 06:06
[jazz band playing]
Hey, there you are.
Thomas?
Where have you been?
You said there'd be food.
Real cool party.
Your son is getting "hangry."
Yeah, let's go, you ready?
Listen up! Everyone stay right where you are.
All electronic devices must be unlocked and handed over immediately.
Evan, what's going on?
There must've been a security breach.
Aaron, what are you doing?Whoa, whoa.
Just following orders, Mr. Myers.
Step back and wait your turn.
Everybody stop talking.
We got a tattoo hit. There was a data breach at a national research facility.
Electro Velocity Center or EVC.
They build robotic spacecraft.
It's real life Star Wars over there.
Shouldn't this be an FBI Cyber case?
It was, until we discovered that one of the stolen files links to a tattoo.
It's a series of numbers that connects to a classified government project.
So classified they're refusing to tell us about it.
I'll get us clearance.In the meantime we do have a lead.
CSU found this Bluetooth Transmitter lodged in a pipe.
It paired with an air-gapped network of computers on the 25th floor of EVC.
Someone used this transmitter to transfer files to a hard drive that is still unaccounted for.
We do have a list of all the people that were in the building when the breach occurred.
Apparently EVC was throwing a 50th anniversary party.
So there are a lot of suspects all currently under house arrest.
The devices were confiscated so hopefully one of the stolen files will show up on one of them.
Okay, let's dig in.
Hey, where are Jane and Weller?
[Jane] Look, I know this is hard.
It might help to talk about it.
So, you really didn't know about my mom?
That she was part of my mother's t*rror1st organization?
That is my mother.
I had no idea that your mother was one of her informants.
I guess it makes sense.
Shepherd was looking for a way into my life.
My mom was a soft target.
You've never talked much about your mom.
There's not much to say.
She's an addict.
She made bad choices.
I cut off contact years ago.
Has she ever been to rehab?
I offered to pay for it.
Drove her out there myself.
She wouldn't do it.
It's a bad idea. We should go.
Wait, look, if it were me, you would tell me to not run from my problems.
And that we would get through this together, right?
Kurt?
Hi.
Hi, Mom.
I just got clearance to open the stolen classified files from EVC.
[beeping]
Take a look.
All right, so according to this, EVC launched a satellite last week that... Oh my God.
Can this be right?
What? What is it?
EVC weaponized a satellite.
It's equipped with live missiles that can be launched from space.
It's real life Star Wars just like I said.
Wait, does that make us the Rebels or the Empire?
Is there a specific target?
Uh...
According to this, no. It's still in its
"testing phase" but it is fully operational.
Uh, guys, I just skipped ahead to the really bad part.
The files that were stolen last night contain the launch codes for these missiles.
Which means whoever has them can launch a nuclear strike on any country they choose.
With no way to stop it.
♪♪
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I had to convince my boss that a surprise visit from my son and his beautiful wife was worth a five-minute break.
We need to ask you some questions.
Oh, honey, humor me with a little small talk first, please.
We're not here to socialize, Mom.
Uh, Mrs. Weller--
No, no, call me Linda.
We're family.
Do you know this woman?
Yeah, that's Ellen.
Why do you-- why do you...
When did you meet her?
Five years ago, maybe?
Time gets a little fuzzy as you get older.
Uh, can you tell us a little bit more about your relationship?
You know, we met at a bar.
We talked until they closed it up and they kicked us out.
From then on we-- we've been friends.
That's the story you're gonna go with?
Well, it's-- it's the truth.
Ellen and I had a lot in common.
Your "friend" Ellen was a t*rror1st named Shepherd.
I don't understand.
Linda, she wasn't just having innocent heart-to-heart talks with you.
Shepherd was cultivating you as an asset to gain intel on Kurt.
That's you entering a building which is known to be part of Shepherd's t*rror1st cell.
You entered that building using a key.
I can explain that. Okay.
A couple of weeks ago I got a-- um... an envelope from Ellen's lawyer.
And inside it was a key and a letter telling me to go to that building and pick up some money she left me in her will.
[Jane] This was Shepherd's plan.
She gave both of us keys.
She wanted us to find each other.
[door bell jingles]Oh...
Uh, um, I, I should...
I should get back to work.
Can I help you?
You're in my way, chief.
Actually, I'm not a chief. I'm a special agent.
Then you should flash that thing at her.
She's the real criminal.
Guess I'll come back another time.
What have you gotten yourself into this time?
Hey, did you hear? Weller and Jane are back with his mom.
Trying to stop an imminent nuclear threat.
Don't really have time to gossip right now.
What, did they arrest her?
She wasn't in cuffs when they brought her into the conference room.
[alert chirps]
This is really, really bad.No, I know.
Kurt really didn't luck out in the parenting department.
No, uh, I was referring to this.
I just finished going through the data on the last device confiscated from the EVC party.
The stolen files aren't on any of them.
So they didn't stop the breach.
Oh, I see how that's problematic.
What do you got?
Uh, the launch codes to an armed and very dangerous satellite were stolen last night.
That thing deploys missiles from space?
[Patterson] It's called an Orbital Strike Satellite.
Created in complete secrecy by a company called Electro Velocity Center, along with the DOD.
We're trying to figure out which of the 100 plus people in the building stole the launch codes.
But so far the stolen files aren't on any of the devices.
The thief could've swallowed a small flash drive.
That's true, one time I ingested half million dollars' worth of Bitcoin.
Let's just say the return on that particular investment was sub-optimal.
I'd hide the flash drive inside the building.
Wait until the heat dies down, then sneak it out that way.
I'll send teams back to EVC.
I'll work my old CIA channels.
All right, we'll check the dark web for any possible sales.
Hey, we got this under control.
You should get back to your mom and Jane.
Wanna sit down?
Jason knows you're a fed.
He's gonna think I'm ratting him out.
So, Jason, he said that I should arrest you.
Why?
Linda, we want to help you.
But we need to know what's going on.
A few years ago, I had a fall.
I ended up in the hospital.
The doctor prescribed Oxycontin.
When the prescription ended, I was still in pain.
I had to find another way to get the pills.
That's when I met Jason.
So he's your dealer.
Oxy isn't cheap.
I ran up a debt with Jason and I couldn't pay him back.
He said if I made a simple delivery for him, then we'd be even.
So you're a drug mule?
[whispers] Kurt.No, no...
That's the problem. I couldn't go through with it.
I was so scared and I thought the police were following me.
So I, I dumped the pills at a rest stop.
How much do you owe him?
$100,000.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Why don't you go to rehab? Commit to getting sober.
I want to. Yeah.
No, I do.
But I have to pay Jason back.
What-- so you're gonna make it in tips?
Is there, um... is there a restroom?
Alex, escort this lady to the restroom.
Don't let her out of your sight.
I don't need a chaperone, Kurt.
I said that you do.
That woman... has put me through so much pain.
My entire life.
Well, you have every right to be angry.
But, Kurt, she's in danger.
And she's family. We can't just turn our backs on her.
Fine.
So, I'll call the office in Philly.
See if they can get this Jason guy off the streets.
Stop him being a threat.
I'll take Linda to our apartment.
Get a protective detail on her.
It'll buy us some time to figure out our next steps.
It's gonna be okay.
All right, just heard from the team at EVC headquarters.
So far Weller's theory of the hard drive being hidden there is not panning out.
Okay, well, we're doing a little bit better over here.
Ten employees swiped their ID badges in the restricted area within the hour before the launch codes were stolen.
Agent Woods is tracking them down.
Uh, why is Agent Woods tracking them down?
'Cause I have something very concerning to tell you.
Uh, more concerning than weaponized satellites?
Well, you tell me.
I set up a federal inmate notification app on my phone.
Yeah, there's an app for that.
And I just got an alert about Kathy.
Like, our Kathy?
Yes, our Kathy, Kathy Gustafson.
Kathy the... [sing-song humming]
Kathy was a part of an elite three-person hacker team.
Three Blind Mice reunited again.
This woman is crazy.
You're not a very good friend.
[buzzing]Ahh!
Kathy Gustafson, you're under arrest.
She's out of prison.
She has, like, five years left on her sentence.Early parole.
It doesn't say how she got out. Just says that she's out.
Do you think that she used us as bargaining chips?
Don't jump to conclusions.It's no jumping.
When I was in prison I ratted on everybody.
I mean, can you blame her?
Geez, we did all those early hacks together.
She's the only one that did any prison time.
Yeah... do you ever feel bad about that?
Well, I mean, she did kidnap and put shock collars on us and then tried to sh**t me so it's not exactly keeping me up at night.
But if she tells anybody that we're the other two-thirds of Three Blind Mice, do you know what's gonna happen to-- Hey-Agent Woods!
Hi! Uh!
Oh, you are quick and quiet.
How can I help you?
So I ran all the names on the list.
And everyone was accounted for except for a senior VP named Evan Myers.
What do you mean, accounted for?
Evan Myers got special permission to have his house arrest lifted so that he could give a presentation at EVC HQ and he never showed up.
We spoke to Evan's wife and she said that Evan left home this morning with their son Thomas.
He was supposed to drop him off at school.
But Thomas never made it.
You think Evan's on the run. Why take his kid?
Seems like a major liability.
Yeah, well, we thought so, too until we found this.
Thomas is diabetic. And last year he got a new insulin pump and it's super high-tech.
Does it store data?
A small amount, but yes.
[Rich] It's also Bluetooth compatible. And the kid was at the party.
It's gotta be the hard drive that we're looking for.
Evan must've known that security wouldn't confiscate a medical device.
Just got off the phone with Keaton.
CIA caught chatter between a few Russian operatives.
They were talking about obtaining control of a weaponized satellite from one of their assets.
[Reade] There's your asset.
The Russians get a hold of those launch codes...
They'll have the power to decimate any country they want.
We need to know where Evan's headed next.
If he's a foreign agent, he's gotta have some trace on his devices somewhere.
We just cracked his hard drive.
Looks like he deleted a ton of data from his laptop last night, or... tried to.
We recovered a Word doc with a bunch of dates and times on it, and the initials "NB" next to a bunch of them.
Yeah, we'll cross-reference that with his calendar and phone records.
Have you heard from Evan's wife yet?
Weller's heading to Jersey to talk to her now.
Oh, yeah, Weller's mom's over at their apartment, huh?
I eavesdrop a little bit. Eh, so sue me.
What, nobody wants to talk about Weller's mom but me?
No, we're busy trying to save the world from an orbital strike satellite.
The last time I saw Kurt this happy it was Christmas morning, when he was nine.
I missed his whole life.
[stammering] Look...
You wanna know how I could abandon my children.
How I could leave them with their father when I knew he was a monster.
I-- I don't have the right to ask you that--
That's right, you don't know my life.
Any more than I know my son's.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--
None of-- none of this is your fault.
You should go be with Kurt.
I-I'll be fine here.
Um...
Why don't I make us some tea?
Can I offer you coffee, tea? Do you want water or--
Um, I'm fine.
I do have to ask you some questions about your husband, though.
Okay, do you wanna sit or...
I can't believe that he would kidnap our son.
Thomas is-- is diabetic.
Uh, he could go into insulin shock.
We know, an AMBER alert has already been put out.
Okay.
Do you recall your husband acting strangely in the past few days?
No, he always works long hours.
Takes calls late at night, uh...
He said he was working on a big project, but... now I'm worried, and I don't know what I'm worried about.
None of this makes any sense.
I understand. Now, about last night at the company party.
Did you see Evan go up to the 25th floor at all?
Not that I can remember.
Did he leave you and Thomas alone?
It was a work party, I mean, he was... talking to people, and I'm-- I'm just the spouse.
I-- I-- He, um...
He's a good man. He's a good dad.
He's-- he's--
I'm sorry, I-- I want to help.
I-- I'm not helping.
No-- yes, you are.Okay.
You're doing great.
Would you know anywhere that...
Evan could have taken Thomas?
Their passports are missing, so...
Canada? He has some business contacts there.
I'll alert Border Patrol.
And a security detail already on your home.
Could you just please bring my son home?
[crying] Because...
I can't live without him, so...
I'll do my best, ma'am.
Hey, boss.Is there something you two wanna tell me?
If you're suggesting I know where all the missing rubber gloves are, you're mistaken.
That's not what I'm talking about.
That's not what anyone's talking about.
There's been a cyber attack.
Every member of the New England National Bank has received an email alerting them that their bank has been committing fraud.
And the message was signed with a logo from The Three Blind Mice.
What is that?
What is that? Are you kidding me?
Talk! Now.
Okay.
Kathy was released this morning, early parole.
And you didn't think to mention that to me?
I wanted to, but she said we should let...You told me!
[overlapping arguing]
We arrested Kathy... and I thought the Three Blind Mice was over.
I was willing to overlook your prior involvement.
But now I'm finding out your hacker group is active again?
No!No. No, no, it's...
N-N-No, we didn't have anything to do with this.
If Kathy did this, she acted alone.
Or it's a copycat group.
Hey, "cat," "mouse"-- there's a joke in there somewhere.
I don't need jokes, I need answers, Rich.
The EVC case takes top priority, but I need this New England National hack resolved.
Or we're all gonna have to answer for Three Blind Mice.
You understand?Yeah.
Okay.Okay.
[sighs] Oh, my God.
Hey, relax. We can fix this.
I... know we can.
That's not what this is.
When we started working with Kathy, I thought we were doing something noble, but we were actually just breaking the law!
Okay, Reade's not gonna t*nk his job and then go to jail with us, just because of a little harmless, white hat hacking.
I mean, come on-- hey, look!
It's like Grand Central Station in here!
Evan Myers made six payments last month to somebody called Lloyd Hamerstein, a licensed private detective.
If Evan had access to Russian intelligence, why would he pay a low-rent PI?
Maybe he was trying to get some dirt on his handlers.
I mean, if he thought that people were trying to blackmail him, maybe he wanted to settle the score, you know? Swip-swap?
[computer pinging]
Evan's car was just spotted at a gas station in Middleton, New York.
20 on 6.
Dad, I gotta pee.
Okay. Uh, come on. It's back there.
I can go by myself. I'm not a baby.
Fine. Okay. I'll get the car and I'll pull up.
Don't dawdle.
♪♪
[man] Hey.
Where's the kid?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Do I, uh...
Do I know you?
Uhh! Ohh!
Dad!
♪♪
Evan Myers just got shot at a gas station and is now in surgery-- he's in critical condition.
What about his son Thomas?
He fled from the scene and is still missing.
We have multiple teams searching the area now.
The guy who shot Evan got away, but not before getting his face on their surveillance camera.
According to my CIA contact, that is Nikolai Berlinsky, a known Russian operative.
"NB." Those are the initials on the documents that Evan tried to delete last night.
Maybe Evan was chronicling their meetings.
Nikolai could have been Evan's handler.
But if that's the case, why sh**t his asset before the deal is done?
Maybe Evan got cold feet, tried to call it off.
Or he got greedy and he wanted more money for the codes.
♪♪ Look at that. Nikolai...
He runs inside straight after the sh**ting.
So he's after Thomas.
He must have known those codes were hidden on his insulin pump.
So the Russians could have Thomas and the codes already.
Have we got any other leads?
It's a bit of a waiting game right now, but I have my system searching street cams and CCTV footage for any signs of Nikolai and Thomas.
And we're still looking into the private detective Evan was paying.
I sent agents over to his home and office.
Send me his info. I'll stay on top of it.
Rich, Patterson, focus on the New England National hack.
Weitz is all on me about it.
Stock markets close in a few hours, and bank stocks are taking a beating.
All right! One for all, huh?
Good all-- all for...
Nobody wants to do... that, it seems.
♪♪ Psst! Hey.
Any luck connecting Kathy to the bank hack?
Eh, you could say that.
Fortunately, it also connects us to it.
Look at this little message she left for us.
K plus P plus R equals Best Friends Forever "4 EVA."
It's a little redundant, but that's clearly from her.
But she was right about the bank fraud.
So turns out New England National created 2.5 million credit card accounts without their customers' permission.
Which incurred close to $4 million in fees.
So she exposed corruption on a massive scale?
That's pretty on-brand for Three Blind Mice.
Except that she broke her parole and committed a federal crime.
Okay, I'm going to quote someone very wise that I once knew-- "Keyboard vigilantes must sacrifice themselves for the greater good."
I said that...Ah!
...when I thought I was retiring from the FBI and when I didn't realize we were working with a lunatic!
Okay. All right.
Look at this.
Uh, this Three Blind Mice logo that Kathy used to sign the email.
It's different from the one we used back in the day.
What? So another hidden message?
"Did you ever see such a sight in your life as Three Blind Mice."
Wait a second, some of the letters have little lines and some of them don't-- is that something?
If we put each of the letters in groups of three... it's trinary code.
Trinary code. Three Blind Mice.
Come on, ya gotta admire the creativity.
Each grouping solves to a number... which corresponds to a letter in the alphabet.
And that gives us...
"Thirty Dewey Nine B."
Okay...
Okay, okay. There is a 30 Dewey Street in the financial district.
Is Kathy telling us where to find her?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
♪♪
[doorbell rings]
Patterson! Rich!
Ohh, my two favorite pals in the whole wide world!
Is that... true still?
Are-- Are we just coming inside?
I'll get the door.
I knew you'd decode my message.
And in record time.
Doesn't it feel great to be reunited again?
I missed you guys so much.
I like your... haircut. Did you do that yourself?
Uh, Kathy, this is actually not a-- a social call.
You hacked a bank today.
And exposed major corporate corruption.
That's what we do, right?
Ehh, you might wanna pump the brakes on the whole "we" thing.
I mean, we had nothing to do with this.
It was you, acting... alone.
What am I looking at here?
Welcome to your bridal party fitting!
To our what now?
I'm getting married.
And I want you to be my bridesmaids.
Will you? Say yes!
[Patterson] You just got out of prison just this morning, and you're already engaged.
I got it, you fell in love with a guard-- no, the warden-- and they pulled some strings, and that's why you're out of prison early?
I got out on good behavior. And not a moment too soon.
My passion pastry and I finally got to hug and kiss for the first time today.
I can't wait for you to meet him.
[Patterson] I am sure he is a real catch, Kathy.
I-- w-we are so happy for you.Mm-hmm.
But you committed a crime today.
But nobody has to know about that.
Unfortunately, the cat's kind of out of the bag on that already.
Hey, cat-- cat and mice. Remember earlier when I--
I've been saying cat and then mice--
We have to take you in.
No, please, don't do that.
I hated prison so much.
If you guys sent me back there, I'd have to tell everyone that you were my accomplices in this, and... all the other old stuff we did.
But you don't wanna do that, do you?
Okay! Now that that's settled, let's try on these wedding duds.
♪♪ After Taylor Shaw went missing, I knew I had to get us away from Bill.
I tried to take my children with me.
You did?Yeah.
Kurt-- Kurt never mentioned that.
I don't think he remembers.
Ah.
I planned our escape for weeks.
I waited for Bill to drink himself to sleep.
Then I woke up the kids.
And then we... hitched a ride to a shelter.
We don't-- we don't have to talk about this if you don't want.
I want to.
I guess I-I was still asleep when Kurt woke up later that night.
He was scared.
He found the woman who was in charge, so she let him call his dad.
Kurt didn't understand why you were there.
Well, how do you tell a 10-year-old kid you think his father is a m*rder*r?
Bill said that he was going to k*ll all of us if I even looked like I might take his kids away again.
That's why you left, to protect them.
I swore to myself I would come back for them.
So what stopped you?
Oh, first it was Bill.
What he said he would do.
And then later, it was just... me.
'Cause of my own additions, my weakness.
Bill kept his demons on the inside.
But somehow, mine... just all got out.
And I didn't want them around that.
Something tells me you know about that.
Having demons.
Yeah.
[chuckles softly]
Uh, speaking of which...
I don't suppose you have anything that's... stronger.
Why don't we, uh, stick to tea for now.
I'll put on another pot.

My goodness, this thing fits like a glove.
What color is this? Tonsil? Tongue?
Dog's Tongue. Whoopee Cushion.
How did Kathy get all my sizes so perfectly?
Hey.Look at thi--
Can we focus for a second?Yeah.
We have to figure out what to do.
We have to arrest her, right?
Right.
[gasps] Oh, Rich.
You look fabulous.
I do, don't I?
Patterson, yours needs a little work.
Oh... yeah.Ooh.
Hey, listen, um, I was thinking, you know, since you're getting married now-- new man, new chapter-- what about like a fresh, new start?
No more hacking, no more breaking your parole.
No more, uh, you know, crimes of-- of any sort.
That is a great idea.Yeah.
Unfortunately, weddings are so expensive, and, well, they don't pay you much when you're sitting in prison protecting your friends.
Hmm.We set up a funding page, but so far, no one's donated.
Ah.
Oh... well...
I would-- I would love to contribute.
Would, say...
$10,000 be enough?
Sure, for the DJ.
My dream wedding budget is more in the 10 million range.
[laughing] 10 million?
Oh, boy, that is a dream.
Patterson, this is a celebration of life after I lost years of mine rotting away in a concrete box while you guys walked around free as foxes.
Free as f-foxes? Is that--
I've never heard that expression before.
Is that like a prison thing or--
[Patterson] What if... were were to give you 200 grand... to never commit another crime or reveal the true identities of the other two Blind Mice?
Deal. 200 each.
And you can donate at KathysDreamWedding.com.
[whispering] Hey, hey, hey. Wizardville.
I don't have 200 large just sittin' around, you know.
I gotta... move around some cryptocurrencies and maybe, um, access some assets I haven't told the FBI about yet.
And I don't even have all my passwords, so I can't do this today.
That's fine, just pay me back later.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure.
Hey, Kathy... we're not gonna be able to make it to your wedding.
But I didn't tell you when it is.
Oh, when is it?
Next spring.
Ah...Or winter.
Ugh. That's...
We're not gonna be able to make it.
Yeah. I mean, not physically, but we will be there in spirit.
Yeah."BFFs forevah," right?
Here we go, it's, uh...
[computer chimes]
[Patterson] There is it.
So enjoy your... happily ever after.
Yeah. Who's the DJ?
♪♪ Hey! What do you got?
Oh, wow, that feels cool to be walking in from the field for a change.
Don't get used to it. You guys find Kathy?
Uh... it's complicated. We'll explain later.
How's it going over here?
You gonna catch this Berlinsky guy before he launches a m*ssile at us or what?
[Reade] I just tracked down the PI Evan hired.
He says he was paid to follow Evan's wife Scarlett for 30 days.
He's about to send over photos now.
Jeez, talk about trust issues.
Another reason why the social construct of marriage is designed to drive people insane.
Uh, you drive all of us insane, and none of us are married to you.
Spoken like a true work wife. Tck!
[chime]All right, here we go.
Hey... is that who I think it is?
[Zapata] Nikolai Berlinsky.
Why is Scarlett meeting with him?
According to the PI's notes... she met with him a few times a week.
It isn't Evan that's working with the Russians.
It's his wife.
Scarlett was the one that stole the launch codes from EVC.
[Zapata] Then, after the data breach happened, Evan must have realized that his wife was the thief.
Well, why didn't he go to the police?
Because all the evidence leads to him.
So Scarlett used his key card to get up to the 25th floor during the party... to set him up.
He didn't kidnap his son.
He was protecting him from his own mother.
Patterson, call the agents at Scarlett's house.
Have 'em arrest her now.
[Thomas] Dad said I can't go home.
Thomas, calm down. It'll be okay.
And then he got shot.
Where are you now? Dad said if we got separated to go to the place where we watched fireworks last year.
Okay, don't say anything else.
I will meet you there. I love you.
Love you, too, Mom.
[phone buzzing]
[buzz]
[buzz]
A stay-at-home mom turned Russian spy has some serious moves-- she spiked our agents' lemonade and fled.
This was just after Thomas called her.
We have it on tape. He said he was going somewhere safe.
A place where they used to watch fireworks.
And... Scarlett is on her way to meet him there now.
Does the kid have a cell phone we can track?
No, he borrowed one from a man in Woodstock.
So the Russians, they don't have Thomas and they don't have the codes yet.
But there is a lot of places they can watch fireworks up there.
Exactly-- we pulled the family social media-- texts, phone records, calendar apps.
There's nothing about Woodstock or fireworks.
Yeah, and no one in the immediate family owns property there.
Police are still searching the area, but so far... there's no sign of Thomas.
So we're at a dead end.[Zapata] Maybe not.
Evan will be out of surgery any minute.
He's the only one that knows where his son is going to be.
What if we sped up his recovery?
[Weller] Forced him to wake up?
Yeah.Can we do that?
You mean technically or ethically?
Because we can bring a patient out of general anesthesia using extremely high doses of Ritalin, but that's... an experimental procedure.
How experimental are we talking?
I mean, a lot experimental.
So we'd be risking his life.
Evan would want us to do it.
I mean, he's already taken so many risks to save his son.
Why stop now?Morally, it's a gray area.
But... it's all we got. Wake him up.
All right.
What happened with Kathy?
Uh... our lead was a dead end.
Never found her, but we'll keep searching.
And New England National Bank?
Oh, I was able to patch up the vulnerabilities in the server.
There won't be any more hacks.
And we opened an investigation into their fraudulent sales practices.
Weitz would not like that.
Well, you can tell him that 2.5 million people didn't appreciate having fake accounts opened in their names.
Fair enough. Should be a fun call.

You? Miss Perfect Pettyana. You lied? I'm shocked.
What else was I supposed to do?
I don't know, have me do it.
He would expect that from you.
Yeah.Me... not so much.
Whew. I'm seeing a whole new side of you today.

Thank you for staying with me, Jane.
I'm sorry for dumping my whole... sob story on you.
Well, I-- I'm glad you told me.
Linda... I think Kurt needs to hear it, too.

No. He doesn't need to hear any of that.
He's carried enough.

He'll still have his dad.
At least he's got one parent to count on.
Did you hear back from the agents in Philly?
Any update on your mom's dealer?
Apparently this Jason guy is part of a very big g*ng.
So even if you take him down, someone else will just come to collect in his place.
And they'll probably want revenge.
So I don't really know what to do.
Do you have the cash?
My mother never did a thing for me.

Yeah...
I think you are. She's family.

Where have you been?
You said there'd be food.
Real cool party.
Your son is getting "hangry."
Yeah, let's go, you ready?
Listen up! Everyone stay right where you are.
All electronic devices must be unlocked and handed over immediately.
Evan, what's going on?
There must've been a security breach.
Aaron, what are you doing?Whoa, whoa.
Just following orders, Mr. Myers.
Step back and wait your turn.
Everybody stop talking.
We got a tattoo hit. There was a data breach at a national research facility.
Electro Velocity Center or EVC.
They build robotic spacecraft.
It's real life Star Wars over there.
Shouldn't this be an FBI Cyber case?
It was, until we discovered that one of the stolen files links to a tattoo.
It's a series of numbers that connects to a classified government project.
So classified they're refusing to tell us about it.
I'll get us clearance.In the meantime we do have a lead.
CSU found this Bluetooth Transmitter lodged in a pipe.
It paired with an air-gapped network of computers on the 25th floor of EVC.
Someone used this transmitter to transfer files to a hard drive that is still unaccounted for.
We do have a list of all the people that were in the building when the breach occurred.
Apparently EVC was throwing a 50th anniversary party.
So there are a lot of suspects all currently under house arrest.
The devices were confiscated so hopefully one of the stolen files will show up on one of them.
Okay, let's dig in.
Hey, where are Jane and Weller?
[Jane] Look, I know this is hard.
It might help to talk about it.
So, you really didn't know about my mom?
That she was part of my mother's t*rror1st organization?
That is my mother.
I had no idea that your mother was one of her informants.
I guess it makes sense.
Shepherd was looking for a way into my life.
My mom was a soft target.
You've never talked much about your mom.
There's not much to say.
She's an addict.
She made bad choices.
I cut off contact years ago.
Has she ever been to rehab?
I offered to pay for it.
Drove her out there myself.
She wouldn't do it.
It's a bad idea. We should go.
Wait, look, if it were me, you would tell me to not run from my problems.
And that we would get through this together, right?
Kurt?
Hi.
Hi, Mom.
I just got clearance to open the stolen classified files from EVC.
[beeping]
Take a look.
All right, so according to this, EVC launched a satellite last week that... Oh my God.
Can this be right?
What? What is it?
EVC weaponized a satellite.
It's equipped with live missiles that can be launched from space.
It's real life Star Wars just like I said.
Wait, does that make us the Rebels or the Empire?
Is there a specific target?
Uh...
According to this, no. It's still in its
"testing phase" but it is fully operational.
Uh, guys, I just skipped ahead to the really bad part.
The files that were stolen last night contain the launch codes for these missiles.
Which means whoever has them can launch a nuclear strike on any country they choose.
With no way to stop it.
♪♪
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
I had to convince my boss that a surprise visit from my son and his beautiful wife was worth a five-minute break.
We need to ask you some questions.
Oh, honey, humor me with a little small talk first, please.
We're not here to socialize, Mom.
Uh, Mrs. Weller--
No, no, call me Linda.
We're family.
Do you know this woman?
Yeah, that's Ellen.
Why do you-- why do you...
When did you meet her?
Five years ago, maybe?
Time gets a little fuzzy as you get older.
Uh, can you tell us a little bit more about your relationship?
You know, we met at a bar.
We talked until they closed it up and they kicked us out.
From then on we-- we've been friends.
That's the story you're gonna go with?
Well, it's-- it's the truth.
Ellen and I had a lot in common.
Your "friend" Ellen was a t*rror1st named Shepherd.
I don't understand.
Linda, she wasn't just having innocent heart-to-heart talks with you.
Shepherd was cultivating you as an asset to gain intel on Kurt.
That's you entering a building which is known to be part of Shepherd's t*rror1st cell.
You entered that building using a key.
I can explain that. Okay.
A couple of weeks ago I got a-- um... an envelope from Ellen's lawyer.
And inside it was a key and a letter telling me to go to that building and pick up some money she left me in her will.
[Jane] This was Shepherd's plan.
She gave both of us keys.
She wanted us to find each other.
[door bell jingles]Oh...
Uh, um, I, I should...
I should get back to work.
Can I help you?
You're in my way, chief.
Actually, I'm not a chief. I'm a special agent.
Then you should flash that thing at her.
She's the real criminal.
Guess I'll come back another time.
What have you gotten yourself into this time?
Hey, did you hear? Weller and Jane are back with his mom.
Trying to stop an imminent nuclear threat.
Don't really have time to gossip right now.
What, did they arrest her?
She wasn't in cuffs when they brought her into the conference room.
[alert chirps]
This is really, really bad.No, I know.
Kurt really didn't luck out in the parenting department.
No, uh, I was referring to this.
I just finished going through the data on the last device confiscated from the EVC party.
The stolen files aren't on any of them.
So they didn't stop the breach.
Oh, I see how that's problematic.
What do you got?
Uh, the launch codes to an armed and very dangerous satellite were stolen last night.
That thing deploys missiles from space?
[Patterson] It's called an Orbital Strike Satellite.
Created in complete secrecy by a company called Electro Velocity Center, along with the DOD.
We're trying to figure out which of the 100 plus people in the building stole the launch codes.
But so far the stolen files aren't on any of the devices.
The thief could've swallowed a small flash drive.
That's true, one time I ingested half million dollars' worth of Bitcoin.
Let's just say the return on that particular investment was sub-optimal.
I'd hide the flash drive inside the building.
Wait until the heat dies down, then sneak it out that way.
I'll send teams back to EVC.
I'll work my old CIA channels.
All right, we'll check the dark web for any possible sales.
Hey, we got this under control.
You should get back to your mom and Jane.
Wanna sit down?
Jason knows you're a fed.
He's gonna think I'm ratting him out.
So, Jason, he said that I should arrest you.
Why?
Linda, we want to help you.
But we need to know what's going on.
A few years ago, I had a fall.
I ended up in the hospital.
The doctor prescribed Oxycontin.
When the prescription ended, I was still in pain.
I had to find another way to get the pills.
That's when I met Jason.
So he's your dealer.
Oxy isn't cheap.
I ran up a debt with Jason and I couldn't pay him back.
He said if I made a simple delivery for him, then we'd be even.
So you're a drug mule?
[whispers] Kurt.No, no...
That's the problem. I couldn't go through with it.
I was so scared and I thought the police were following me.
So I, I dumped the pills at a rest stop.
How much do you owe him?
$100,000.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Why don't you go to rehab? Commit to getting sober.
I want to. Yeah.
No, I do.
But I have to pay Jason back.
What-- so you're gonna make it in tips?
Is there, um... is there a restroom?
Alex, escort this lady to the restroom.
Don't let her out of your sight.
I don't need a chaperone, Kurt.
I said that you do.
That woman... has put me through so much pain.
My entire life.
Well, you have every right to be angry.
But, Kurt, she's in danger.
And she's family. We can't just turn our backs on her.
Fine.
So, I'll call the office in Philly.
See if they can get this Jason guy off the streets.
Stop him being a threat.
I'll take Linda to our apartment.
Get a protective detail on her.
It'll buy us some time to figure out our next steps.
It's gonna be okay.
All right, just heard from the team at EVC headquarters.
So far Weller's theory of the hard drive being hidden there is not panning out.
Okay, well, we're doing a little bit better over here.
Ten employees swiped their ID badges in the restricted area within the hour before the launch codes were stolen.
Agent Woods is tracking them down.
Uh, why is Agent Woods tracking them down?
'Cause I have something very concerning to tell you.
Uh, more concerning than weaponized satellites?
Well, you tell me.
I set up a federal inmate notification app on my phone.
Yeah, there's an app for that.
And I just got an alert about Kathy.
Like, our Kathy?
Yes, our Kathy, Kathy Gustafson.
Kathy the... [sing-song humming]
Kathy was a part of an elite three-person hacker team.
Three Blind Mice reunited again.
This woman is crazy.
You're not a very good friend.
[buzzing]Ahh!
Kathy Gustafson, you're under arrest.
She's out of prison.
She has, like, five years left on her sentence.Early parole.
It doesn't say how she got out. Just says that she's out.
Do you think that she used us as bargaining chips?
Don't jump to conclusions.It's no jumping.
When I was in prison I ratted on everybody.
I mean, can you blame her?
Geez, we did all those early hacks together.
She's the only one that did any prison time.
Yeah... do you ever feel bad about that?
Well, I mean, she did kidnap and put shock collars on us and then tried to sh**t me so it's not exactly keeping me up at night.
But if she tells anybody that we're the other two-thirds of Three Blind Mice, do you know what's gonna happen to-- Hey-Agent Woods!
Hi! Uh!
Oh, you are quick and quiet.
How can I help you?
So I ran all the names on the list.
And everyone was accounted for except for a senior VP named Evan Myers.
What do you mean, accounted for?
Evan Myers got special permission to have his house arrest lifted so that he could give a presentation at EVC HQ and he never showed up.
We spoke to Evan's wife and she said that Evan left home this morning with their son Thomas.
He was supposed to drop him off at school.
But Thomas never made it.
You think Evan's on the run. Why take his kid?
Seems like a major liability.
Yeah, well, we thought so, too until we found this.
Thomas is diabetic. And last year he got a new insulin pump and it's super high-tech.
Does it store data?
A small amount, but yes.
[Rich] It's also Bluetooth compatible. And the kid was at the party.
It's gotta be the hard drive that we're looking for.
Evan must've known that security wouldn't confiscate a medical device.
Just got off the phone with Keaton.
CIA caught chatter between a few Russian operatives.
They were talking about obtaining control of a weaponized satellite from one of their assets.
[Reade] There's your asset.
The Russians get a hold of those launch codes...
They'll have the power to decimate any country they want.
We need to know where Evan's headed next.
If he's a foreign agent, he's gotta have some trace on his devices somewhere.
We just cracked his hard drive.
Looks like he deleted a ton of data from his laptop last night, or... tried to.
We recovered a Word doc with a bunch of dates and times on it, and the initials "NB" next to a bunch of them.
Yeah, we'll cross-reference that with his calendar and phone records.
Have you heard from Evan's wife yet?
Weller's heading to Jersey to talk to her now.
Oh, yeah, Weller's mom's over at their apartment, huh?
I eavesdrop a little bit. Eh, so sue me.
What, nobody wants to talk about Weller's mom but me?
No, we're busy trying to save the world from an orbital strike satellite.
The last time I saw Kurt this happy it was Christmas morning, when he was nine.
I missed his whole life.
[stammering] Look...
You wanna know how I could abandon my children.
How I could leave them with their father when I knew he was a monster.
I-- I don't have the right to ask you that--
That's right, you don't know my life.
Any more than I know my son's.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have--
None of-- none of this is your fault.
You should go be with Kurt.
I-I'll be fine here.
Um...
Why don't I make us some tea?
Can I offer you coffee, tea? Do you want water or--
Um, I'm fine.
I do have to ask you some questions about your husband, though.
Okay, do you wanna sit or...
I can't believe that he would kidnap our son.
Thomas is-- is diabetic.
Uh, he could go into insulin shock.
We know, an AMBER alert has already been put out.
Okay.
Do you recall your husband acting strangely in the past few days?
No, he always works long hours.
Takes calls late at night, uh...
He said he was working on a big project, but... now I'm worried, and I don't know what I'm worried about.
None of this makes any sense.
I understand. Now, about last night at the company party.
Did you see Evan go up to the 25th floor at all?
Not that I can remember.
Did he leave you and Thomas alone?
It was a work party, I mean, he was... talking to people, and I'm-- I'm just the spouse.
I-- I-- He, um...
He's a good man. He's a good dad.
He's-- he's--
I'm sorry, I-- I want to help.
I-- I'm not helping.
No-- yes, you are.Okay.
You're doing great.
Would you know anywhere that...
Evan could have taken Thomas?
Their passports are missing, so...
Canada? He has some business contacts there.
I'll alert Border Patrol.
And a security detail already on your home.
Could you just please bring my son home?
[crying] Because...
I can't live without him, so...
I'll do my best, ma'am.
Hey, boss.Is there something you two wanna tell me?
If you're suggesting I know where all the missing rubber gloves are, you're mistaken.
That's not what I'm talking about.
That's not what anyone's talking about.
There's been a cyber attack.
Every member of the New England National Bank has received an email alerting them that their bank has been committing fraud.
And the message was signed with a logo from The Three Blind Mice.
What is that?
What is that? Are you kidding me?
Talk! Now.
Okay.
Kathy was released this morning, early parole.
And you didn't think to mention that to me?
I wanted to, but she said we should let...You told me!
[overlapping arguing]
We arrested Kathy... and I thought the Three Blind Mice was over.
I was willing to overlook your prior involvement.
But now I'm finding out your hacker group is active again?
No!No. No, no, it's...
N-N-No, we didn't have anything to do with this.
If Kathy did this, she acted alone.
Or it's a copycat group.
Hey, "cat," "mouse"-- there's a joke in there somewhere.
I don't need jokes, I need answers, Rich.
The EVC case takes top priority, but I need this New England National hack resolved.
Or we're all gonna have to answer for Three Blind Mice.
You understand?Yeah.
Okay.Okay.
[sighs] Oh, my God.
Hey, relax. We can fix this.
I... know we can.
That's not what this is.
When we started working with Kathy, I thought we were doing something noble, but we were actually just breaking the law!
Okay, Reade's not gonna t*nk his job and then go to jail with us, just because of a little harmless, white hat hacking.
I mean, come on-- hey, look!
It's like Grand Central Station in here!
Evan Myers made six payments last month to somebody called Lloyd Hamerstein, a licensed private detective.
If Evan had access to Russian intelligence, why would he pay a low-rent PI?
Maybe he was trying to get some dirt on his handlers.
I mean, if he thought that people were trying to blackmail him, maybe he wanted to settle the score, you know? Swip-swap?

What about his son Thomas?
He fled from the scene and is still missing.
We have multiple teams searching the area now.
The guy who shot Evan got away, but not before getting his face on their surveillance camera.
According to my CIA contact, that is Nikolai Berlinsky, a known Russian operative.
"NB." Those are the initials on the documents that Evan tried to delete last night.
Maybe Evan was chronicling their meetings.
Nikolai could have been Evan's handler.
But if that's the case, why sh**t his asset before the deal is done?
Maybe Evan got cold feet, tried to call it off.
Or he got greedy and he wanted more money for the codes.
♪♪ Look at that. Nikolai...
He runs inside straight after the sh**ting.
So he's after Thomas.
He must have known those codes were hidden on his insulin pump.

It's a bit of a waiting game right now, but I have my system searching street cams and CCTV footage for any signs of Nikolai and Thomas.

Eh, you could say that.
Fortunately, it also connects us to it.
Look at this little message she left for us.
K plus P plus R equals Best Friends Forever "4 EVA."
It's a little redundant, but that's clearly from her.
But she was right about the bank fraud.
So turns out New England National created 2.5 million credit card accounts without their customers' permission.
Which incurred close to $4 million in fees.
So she exposed corruption on a massive scale?
That's pretty on-brand for Three Blind Mice.
Except that she broke her parole and committed a federal crime.
Okay, I'm going to quote someone very wise that I once knew-- "Keyboard vigilantes must sacrifice themselves for the greater good."
I said that...Ah!
...when I thought I was retiring from the FBI and when I didn't realize we were working with a lunatic!
Okay. All right.
Look at this.
Uh, this Three Blind Mice logo that Kathy used to sign the email.
It's different from the one we used back in the day.
What? So another hidden message?
"Did you ever see such a sight in your life as Three Blind Mice."
Wait a second, some of the letters have little lines and some of them don't-- is that something?
If we put each of the letters in groups of three... it's trinary code.
Trinary code. Three Blind Mice.
Come on, ya gotta admire the creativity.
Each grouping solves to a number... which corresponds to a letter in the alphabet.
And that gives us...
"Thirty Dewey Nine B."
Okay...
Okay, okay. There is a 30 Dewey Street in the financial district.
Is Kathy telling us where to find her?
Well, there's only one way to find out.

Ohh, my two favorite pals in the whole wide world!
Is that... true still?
Are-- Are we just coming inside?
I'll get the door.
I knew you'd decode my message.
And in record time.
Doesn't it feel great to be reunited again?
I missed you guys so much.
I like your... haircut. Did you do that yourself?
Uh, Kathy, this is actually not a-- a social call.
You hacked a bank today.
And exposed major corporate corruption.
That's what we do, right?
Ehh, you might wanna pump the brakes on the whole "we" thing.
I mean, we had nothing to do with this.
It was you, acting... alone.
What am I looking at here?
Welcome to your bridal party fitting!
To our what now?
I'm getting married.
And I want you to be my bridesmaids.
Will you? Say yes!
[Patterson] You just got out of prison just this morning, and you're already engaged.
I got it, you fell in love with a guard-- no, the warden-- and they pulled some strings, and that's why you're out of prison early?
I got out on good behavior. And not a moment too soon.
My passion pastry and I finally got to hug and kiss for the first time today.
I can't wait for you to meet him.
[Patterson] I am sure he is a real catch, Kathy.
I-- w-we are so happy for you.Mm-hmm.
But you committed a crime today.
But nobody has to know about that.
Unfortunately, the cat's kind of out of the bag on that already.
Hey, cat-- cat and mice. Remember earlier when I--
I've been saying cat and then mice--
We have to take you in.
No, please, don't do that.
I hated prison so much.
If you guys sent me back there, I'd have to tell everyone that you were my accomplices in this, and... all the other old stuff we did.
But you don't wanna do that, do you?
Okay! Now that that's settled, let's try on these wedding duds.
♪♪ After Taylor Shaw went missing, I knew I had to get us away from Bill.
I tried to take my children with me.
You did?Yeah.
Kurt-- Kurt never mentioned that.
I don't think he remembers.
Ah.
I planned our escape for weeks.
I waited for Bill to drink himself to sleep.
Then I woke up the kids.
And then we... hitched a ride to a shelter.
We don't-- we don't have to talk about this if you don't want.
I want to.
I guess I-I was still asleep when Kurt woke up later that night.
He was scared.
He found the woman who was in charge, so she let him call his dad.
Kurt didn't understand why you were there.
Well, how do you tell a 10-year-old kid you think his father is a m*rder*r?
Bill said that he was going to k*ll all of us if I even looked like I might take his kids away again.
That's why you left, to protect them.
I swore to myself I would come back for them.
So what stopped you?
Oh, first it was Bill.
What he said he would do.
And then later, it was just... me.
'Cause of my own additions, my weakness.
Bill kept his demons on the inside.
But somehow, mine... just all got out.
And I didn't want them around that.
Something tells me you know about that.
Having demons.
Yeah.

Uh, speaking of which...
I don't suppose you have anything that's... stronger.

You look fabulous.

Patterson, yours needs a little work.
Oh... yeah.Ooh.
Hey, listen, um, I was thinking, you know, since you're getting married now-- new man, new chapter-- what about like a fresh, new start?
No more hacking, no more breaking your parole.
No more, uh, you know, crimes of-- of any sort.
That is a great idea.Yeah.
Unfortunately, weddings are so expensive, and, well, they don't pay you much when you're sitting in prison protecting your friends.
Hmm.We set up a funding page, but so far, no one's donated.
Ah.
Oh... well...
I would-- I would love to contribute.
Would, say...
$10,000 be enough?
Sure, for the DJ.
My dream wedding budget is more in the 10 million range.
[laughing] 10 million?
Oh, boy, that is a dream.
Patterson, this is a celebration of life after I lost years of mine rotting away in a concrete box while you guys walked around free as foxes.
Free as f-foxes? Is that--
I've never heard that expression before.
Is that like a prison thing or--
[Patterson] What if... were were to give you 200 grand... to never commit another crime or reveal the true identities of the other two Blind Mice?
Deal. 200 each.
And you can donate at KathysDreamWedding.com.
[whispering] Hey, hey, hey. Wizardville.
I don't have 200 large just sittin' around, you know.
I gotta... move around some cryptocurrencies and maybe, um, access some assets I haven't told the FBI about yet.
And I don't even have all my passwords, so I can't do this today.
That's fine, just pay me back later.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure.
Hey, Kathy... we're not gonna be able to make it to your wedding.
But I didn't tell you when it is.
Oh, when is it?

Ah...Or winter.
Ugh. That's...

Oh, wow, that feels cool to be walking in from the field for a change.
Don't get used to it. You guys find Kathy?
Uh... it's complicated. We'll explain later.
How's it going over here?
You gonna catch this Berlinsky guy before he launches a m*ssile at us or what?
[Reade] I just tracked down the PI Evan hired.
He says he was paid to follow Evan's wife Scarlett for 30 days.
He's about to send over photos now.
Jeez, talk about trust issues.
Another reason why the social construct of marriage is designed to drive people insane.
Uh, you drive all of us insane, and none of us are married to you.
Spoken like a true work wife. Tck!
[chime]All right, here we go.
Hey... is that who I think it is?
[Zapata] Nikolai Berlinsky.
Why is Scarlett meeting with him?
According to the PI's notes... she met with him a few times a week.
It isn't Evan that's working with the Russians.
It's his wife.
Scarlett was the one that stole the launch codes from EVC.
[Zapata] Then, after the data breach happened, Evan must have realized that his wife was the thief.
Well, why didn't he go to the police?
Because all the evidence leads to him.
So Scarlett used his key card to get up to the 25th floor during the party... to set him up.
He didn't kidnap his son.
He was protecting him from his own mother.
Patterson, call the agents at Scarlett's house.
Have 'em arrest her now.
[Thomas] Dad said I can't go home.
Thomas, calm down. It'll be okay.
And then he got shot.
Where are you now? Dad said if we got separated to go to the place where we watched fireworks last year.
Okay, don't say anything else.
I will meet you there. I love you.
Love you, too, Mom.
[phone buzzing]
[buzz]
[buzz]
A stay-at-home mom turned Russian spy has some serious moves-- she spiked our agents' lemonade and fled.
This was just after Thomas called her.
We have it on tape. He said he was going somewhere safe.
A place where they used to watch fireworks.
And... Scarlett is on her way to meet him there now.
Does the kid have a cell phone we can track?
No, he borrowed one from a man in Woodstock.
So the Russians, they don't have Thomas and they don't have the codes yet.
But there is a lot of places they can watch fireworks up there.
Exactly-- we pulled the family social media-- texts, phone records, calendar apps.
There's nothing about Woodstock or fireworks.
Yeah, and no one in the immediate family owns property there.
Police are still searching the area, but so far... there's no sign of Thomas.
So we're at a dead end.[Zapata] Maybe not.
Evan will be out of surgery any minute.
He's the only one that knows where his son is going to be.
What if we sped up his recovery?
[Weller] Forced him to wake up?
Yeah.Can we do that?
You mean technically or ethically?
Because we can bring a patient out of general anesthesia using extremely high doses of Ritalin, but that's... an experimental procedure.
How experimental are we talking?
I mean, a lot experimental.
So we'd be risking his life.
Evan would want us to do it.
I mean, he's already taken so many risks to save his son.
Why stop now?Morally, it's a gray area.
But... it's all we got. Wake him up.
All right.
What happened with Kathy?
Uh... our lead was a dead end.
Never found her, but we'll keep searching.
And New England National Bank?
Oh, I was able to patch up the vulnerabilities in the server.
There won't be any more hacks.
And we opened an investigation into their fraudulent sales practices.
Weitz would not like that.
Well, you can tell him that 2.5 million people didn't appreciate having fake accounts opened in their names.
Fair enough. Should be a fun call.
[whispering] You lied?
You? Miss Perfect Pettyana. You lied? I'm shocked.
What else was I supposed to do?
I don't know, have me do it.
He would expect that from you.
Yeah.Me... not so much.
Whew. I'm seeing a whole new side of you today.
And I like it.
I have never had so much tea in my whole life.
[both chuckle]
Thank you for staying with me, Jane.
I'm sorry for dumping my whole... sob story on you.
Well, I-- I'm glad you told me.
Linda... I think Kurt needs to hear it, too.
Why you left... what kept you away...
No. He doesn't need to hear any of that.
He's carried enough.
What would it change? My kids grew up without me.
They're gone.
[sighs]
[heart monitor beeping]
[Weller] Here we go.
I can't stop thinking about Thomas.
He has no idea that his mother was lying to him.
That she used him.
He'll still have his dad.
At least he's got one parent to count on.
Did you hear back from the agents in Philly?
Any update on your mom's dealer?
Apparently this Jason guy is part of a very big g*ng.
So even if you take him down, someone else will just come to collect in his place.
And they'll probably want revenge.
So I don't really know what to do.
Do you have the cash?
My mother never did a thing for me.
[beeping]So what am I supposed to do... give up our future to clean up her past?
Yeah...
I think you are. She's family.
[gasps]
Where's...
Where's Thomas, my son?
[Weller] Thomas got away.
But he is in danger.
Can you tell us where he might be?
He said he was going to the place that you told him to go... where you watch the fireworks.
