Don't give up.

Wrong woman, Jackass.

Jimmy, hey.

Why the fancy clothes? Don't tell me it's picture day. Oh, I wish.

I still think you can see a little piece of kale stuck in my teeth in this one.

Ah, barely.

Well,

I was wondering if there's still a stash of shoe polish in Tony's secret desk

compartment. No, HR cleared that out years ago. All I got in here is some

allergy medication and nasal spray.

I'm not sure Tony would approve.

Hey, Tuxedo's out.

Finally awarded you dad of the year.

Come on. You guys know why I brought the tux.

Tonight is the night.

Barbara from accounting. It's her community theater gala. That's right.

He's on the border or something.

Yeah.

An evening of Gilbert and Sullivan. And we all bought tickets and we said we'd

go support her. We sure did.

But I guess I didn't think that we'd actually, you know.

Go. That's, like, the main part of supporting her. Sure, and I would love

support her, but Delilah's teaching tonight, so I am on good duty. Yeah, and

love to support her, too, but Tuesdays are, like, super packed for me. I just

don't like musicals. Really?

Like, any musicals? Why do they gotta sing? Why can't they just talk?

This is such a bummer, and not just for Barbara, but for you guys. I mean,

Gilbert and Sullivan?

are hilarious.

I mean, they are the forefathers of musical theater.

I'm feeling so good about my choice right now. I love a little G &S. In high

school, I was in the Pirates of Penzance.

You was the musical theater guy? Guidance counselor gave me an ultimatum.

a semester of Saturday detention or a semester in a tricorn hat and

Well, all right. It looks like I have found my plus one.

Definitely not.

I'm also in a new era of detention called paperwork.

Possible abduction of a marine. Got an eyewitness in a parking lot. An MPD

a marine's abandoned car off of Route 29.

All right, go ahead.

All right, well, uh, you guys.

Rig leg.

They see in the theater, right?

There's no civility in the world anymore.

Not like there used to be. Yeah, as you keep mentioning. So what happened with

Sergeant Delgado?

What happened was I tried to be a good Samaritan and got my clock cleaned. Look

at my face.

You'll heal.

But can we circle back to Sergeant Delgado?

I pulled into the parking lot to meet with the board of directors.

That's a euphemism for... Yes, I know what it's a euphemism for.

But when I got out of the van to head to the bathroom, I noticed some creep in

the back of her car, hunched over.

Can you be more specific?

I guess you could describe it as crouching.

Or maybe kneeling.

Uh, I meant height, age, race, tattoos.

I didn't get a good look.

The moment I saw him, I went to grab old babe.

That's what I call my... Your baseball bat, yes, I got that. Then the lady was

coming out of the woods, and I walked up behind her.

So you crept up on a woman in a secluded parking lot wielding a baseball bat.

I mean, when you put it like that...

Clump of hair.

Signs of struggle.

Looks like Sergeant Delgado put up a fight.

Well, I expected nothing less from a Marine.

It looks like she tried to make a run for it. It sounds like they grabbed her

and put her in a different car.

Oh, hello.

Got something here.

You got something good?

Something strange.

Whoa.

Come on, that's got to be from, like, an old Halloween costume.

I don't think that's an old toy. No, that's a dueling pistol.

I think it's got to be from the 1800s. A marine got held up by Yosemite Sam.

Devil.

Well, it looks like there's fresh blood on the barrel.

Yosemite Sam is more Wild West.

This thing's got to be older than that.

Where are you sending a picture to, Looney Tunes?

No, it's an app used to identify antiques. Wow, that's like the fattest

I've ever heard you say.

It's for Delilah.

Oh. She collects porcelain figurines and uses that app to find out how much

they're worth. That's cool.

It's a good investment.

Ooh, this isn't any old dueling pistol. This thing is priceless.

Why, because it's so rare?

Because it's the pistol that Aaron Burr used to kill Alexander Hamilton.

What?

Like the actual one?

The actual pistol.

Sergeant Molly Delgado, originally from Houston, Texas, enlisted in 2015, joined

the Marine Raiders three years later. Oh, the Raiders are no joke.

Very elite unit. Not many women, which makes Sergeant Delgado extra elite. She

just returned from a counterinsurgency deployment in Syria.

Maybe she pissed off the wrong insurgents and they came looking for

ISIS doesn't tend to use famous Revolutionary War pistols in their

In case they don't want to sacrifice their shot.

Hello, Hamilton, the musical.

Let's dig into Molly's personal life, see if she's got any enemies closer to

home. We'll head over to her apartment and fuck around. I'll check over to

talk to the other raiders in her unit. All right, Nick, see if you can get an

update on your Hamilton pistol from Casey. Cool.

Maybe I'll be in the room where it happens when she gets the hit.

Guys, come on.

It's like the most successful musical of all time. Yeah, we all know Hamilton.

Actually, I don't.

If you like musicals so much, how come you're not going to Barbara's Gala? Oh,

because I don't like musicals so much. I like Hamilton.

Gilbert and Sullivan were the Lin -Manuel Mirandas of the Gilded Age.

would love to go.

Okay, but Tuesday night is Cold Plunge night.

Seriously?

That's why you're not going to go? Cold Plunge night is sacred.

I'll explain it to Barbara. She'll understand.

Hey, lucky for you, you won't have to wait.

Whoa!

Barbara, you look so beautiful.

Thank you, Agent Knight.

I wanted to bring your pay stubs personally on my way out for the big

Glad you stopped by, Barbara.

Nick has something he wants to tell you.

Please, let me go first.

I want to say how touched I am that you are all attending the gala.

Yeah, so about that... Knowing the team will be there for my first...

solo performance.

Oh, I didn't realize you were singing. It's just confirmation of what I've

already believed.

NCIS isn't just a workplace.

It's a family.

Yeah. Well,

we all cannot wait to be there.

Okay.

Well done.

I'm just saying, you didn't have to commit all of us to an evening of

selections from the Rutherford B. Hayes era because you felt guilty.

Come on, Case.

It's Barbara's first big solo. I can appreciate that. I love Barbara. She's

one who leaves the little mints in the ladies' room. Wait, you guys have mints

in the bathroom? Yes, right next to the fresh flowers.

Listen! I have a ping pong match tonight. It is club finals. I'm playing

rival. It is like Federer versus Nadal. Oh, ping pong?

Yes, and speaking of famous matchups, I didn't find any fingerprints on the

pistol, but I can confirm that it was used by Aaron Burr. Sir.

However,

that was 200 years ago, and the last official record has it being sold at

auction in the early 20th century. Could have landed in any number of private

collections since then.

But if he was stolen, he would have been flagged by law enforcement or auction

houses. Didn't get any hits like that, but I did just get hit on the blood on

the pistol, and it's a doozy.

Well, Deputy Attorney General Brett Gaines, that's a lot of important words.

is all of the important words.

He's like one of the most powerful men at the DOJ.

And you think he's involved in your Marines' abduction? His blood was found

evidence from Sergeant Delgado's car.

Well, I imagine there's an explanation.

Which is what I'm going to get when I question Gates.

And exactly how do you plan to go about this questioning?

The traditional way, by visiting him and, you know, asking questions.

You'll keep it low -key?

What do we mean by low -key?

Maybe I should reach out to Gaines myself.

The director of NCIS reaching out to the deputy attorney general is the opposite

of low key. I need you to color inside the lines on this one. I always color

inside the line. Not recently.

You want to talk about the Carla Marina takedown, speak your piece.

Alternatively, we don't talk about it.

And you just take the note, Special Agent Parker.

Note taken.

So you ever meet the deputy AG when you're with FBI? No, but I'm perfectly

qualified to question, despite what some people say.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, no, I, uh, I agree. I think you're perfectly qualified.

Let me ask you something.

Would you say that I color outside the lines?

Well, that depends. Are we talking like markers or crayons?

Oh, uh, you're serious.

Well, to be honest with you, uh, my answer would be whatever ends this.

uncomfortable moment as soon as... Fair enough.

Gentlemen, FBI's got this covered.

You can go.

Sorry, who are you?

Senior Special Agent Beth Rollins. We're NCIS Agents Parker and McGee. And I

could give a crap. This is an FBI matter. You can show yourselves back to

car. How do you even know about our kidnapping?

Actually, it's our kidnapping, but if you feel you have information, you can,

um, always call the tip line.

I have a few tips where you could put that card, special agent. Rollins, these

men are from NCIS. I just spoke with their boss. Please let them in. We need

the help we can get here.

I got $50 ,000 in cash and a

priceless antique pistol.

And my wife, Rollins.

Sorry?

Are you married to Molly Delgado?

No.

Molly was the one who did that.

She broke in this morning and forced Mrs. Gaines to open the safe.

Look, I went to the club, but I came back early. She hit me in the head

Wait, are you telling us that Molly Delgado was not kidnapped?

No. She was the kidnapper.

The Sergeant Delgado abduction case has now declared Gaines' abduction case.

Based on the evidence, Sergeant Delgado is our number one suspect. We'll be

working side by side with the FBI moving forward. All right, the clock is

ticking. You all know the drill. After 48 hours, this trail could go cold. So

what's the motive? There hasn't been a ransom demand.

Gaines says that they have a crypto account with a quarter million dollars

it. Well, nothing in Delgado's records indicates that he's a criminal.

But his finances are a mess.

Credit card debt, unpaid bills. How do these women know each other?

Well, according to the husband, they met at a yoga class a few weeks ago and hit

it off. Claire's a bit of a loner, so he was pleased she has a new friend. Until

this morning when our missing Marine emptied out his safe and abducted his

A Marine raider would have ways to get that password out of Claire.

And the wife becomes a liability.

Let's find her before that happens. That's going to be hard.

Delgado is an expert at evasion and reconnaissance.

I think so.

What did we miss? We thought that Sergeant Delgado had come back from a

run and was taken by someone hiding in her car. But in reality, she had her

victim tied up in the back seat. Middle of a kidnapping is a weird time to get

your cardio.

Yeah. So what was Sergeant Delgado actually doing in those woods?

Yeah, baby, that's what I'm talking about.

What you got going on there, kid?

Pond scum.

Literal pond scum.

Cyanobacteria, to be precise.

It was on the evidence that your agents brought back from the woods. Yeah, that

sounds like it shouldn't be this close to my face. You know what? You look at

this and you see microbial blooms. Yeah.

I look at it and I see an entire ecosystem self -contained and brimming

possibilities. Yeah, I feel like you need to get out of this basement a

more often. You know, funny you should say that.

Yeah, because I've been thinking of branching out, you know? I mean, why

Casey Hines be confined to her lab?

When can she get out into the field?

Maybe when Casey Hines stops referring to herself in the third person and

telling Knight about the actual evidence.

Okay. Our Marine's phone was found in a stream about 30 yards from the parking

lot. She probably dumped it so we couldn't track her. Please tell me

treasure trove of evidence on there.

Motive, escape routes, secret bank account.

None of the above. But once I tried it out, I did find a suspicious root text

thread.

Take a look at the members.

Agatha Christie, Emily Bronte, Jane Austen. Bunch of lady authors.

And there's references to book titles and page numbers. There's even a

to chapter assignments for next week.

Sounds shady, right?

Yeah, that sounds like a book club.

What are you going to tell me next? You tell the Pilates at the Y?

Okay, then riddle me this. Would you text your book club members in the

of committing felony abduction?

Because our suspect did.

Yeah. I think they're coded messages and the authors are aliens. They could be

accomplices. Take a look at the last text Delgado sent before she dumped the

phone. Running late, having trouble with the book. The book could be code for

Claire Gaines. Have you been able to decipher any of the other messages? Not

yet, but I did track three of the members to the same location in

Well, that could be where Sergeant Delgado took Claire Gaines.

Thanks, Kate.

Oh, uh, for what it's worth...

I'd love to have you out in the field.

Our book club cabal should be right down the alley.

I have a bad feeling, McGee.

Stay positive.

Claire could be safe and sound behind that door. No, about Barbara, the

accountant. Her musical gala is going to be in 20 minutes, and I promise her

we'll all be there.

We're working on kidnapping.

I'm sure she'll understand.

Well, at least Jimmy will show up.

Oh, um...

Yeah, I don't have to tell you this Jimmy's not gonna be able to go either.

No. Yeah, Victoria give that one strep throats

Got it. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Yeah, no, it's a book club for real.

They call themselves Bros Before Bros, and they meet every other week. Assuming

the code names on the text chain are just their favorite authors? That's

I ran background checks. Not so much as a parking ticket between them. But they

know Armoury, so they might know something to help us find him. All

on it.

I'm sorry.

You're him, aren't you?

Tom E.

Gemcity? Hey, you, uh, you know his books?

Oh, I never forget an author's photo.

I'd be happy to sign a copy. Oh, no.

I've never read one.

Those kinds of pulp thrillers aren't really my cup of tea.

Um, can you help us understand how someone like Molly Delgado became a

your book club?

She loved books.

What's hard to understand about that? Well, she's a 30 -year -old special

operations Marine, and you're... not.

To be honest, we were surprised to fit.

She doesn't quite fit the shelf queen aesthetic.

The what now?

You know, hashtag it's a book thing. It's a tag, social media. All right,

let's move on. Let's move on. It has been refreshing to have some young blood

around here.

Molly is so impressive.

Do you know that she speaks several languages?

We do. It's in her service record.

Or that she can survive in the wilderness with nothing but a knife and

for months at a time.

You think she does that on the regular?

Or that she once sailed solo to the Caribbean in an 18 -foot boat with only

stars to guide her?

Molly Delgado is like a real -life character from a spy thriller.

Wait, I thought you didn't read thrillers. I didn't read your thrillers.

Oh.

According to pros before bros...

She's a mix between, uh, Jason Bourne and Grizzly Adams.

I know, I know. Quite a combo.

Um, I'll, I'll see you in this, Morgan.

What about last night? You don't have to explain.

Look, it's just like the working of the kidnapping case.

And work comes first.

I understand completely.

Either way, I know how important this gathering was for you, and I'd like to

apologize.

Apology not accepted.

Barbara, I... Because family doesn't need to apologize.

Well, I don't know what family you grew up in. The fact that you're planning on

coming is all that matters.

And I definitely will be at the next one.

Oh.

I don't think there will be a next one for me.

My theater is going in a scary new direction.

Pop musicals. Oh, that is bad.

I can see that you're disappointed.

I brought you something that's better than a performance.

Cake? From last night.

It's coconut.

I know that's your favorite.

What's that, cake?

Yeah. It's from Barbara. It's coconut.

Oh, that's your favorite. Sure remembered.

Yeah. I feel terrible.

And it's terrible as a deputy AG is feeling, especially since his wife has

abducted by some sort of hybrid woodsman super spy. The last thing she did

before she disappeared was contact her book club. Going to be a reason beyond

good manners. It doesn't matter. If she doesn't want to be found, we're not

going to find her. She's an expert at evasion. She could sneak Claire across

border and throw her away in a boat or simply hide her in any of the 300 ,000

acres of wilderness around here.

Unless, of course, she walks right into the squad room.

She can do that, too.

She seems calm for someone facing a laundry list of felony charges.

Here, she wants us to think she's calm. She's a Marine Raider.

Knows what she's doing. No idea what she's doing. Kidnapped the wife of a DOJ

bigwig. And somehow manages to...

Sneak onto the Navy Yard and stroll into NCIS like she's delivering a pizza?

Yeah, she sits there and says nothing.

It's just so weird.

Sergeant Delgado.

I'm Special Agent Knight.

Can I call you Molly?

I will take that as a soft yes.

Can you tell me your address?

Date of birth?

Serial number?

You know, these are the easy ones.

You shouldn't put a hot beverage in front of someone suspected of a violent

crime.

Have you committed a violent crime?

You know, when I graduated college, I ran into some tough times.

I wasn't really getting along with my dad.

Lost my job waiting tables.

I thought about doing some pretty stupid stuff to pay the rent.

Is that why you took Claire Gaines?

Schroeder. Come again? Self -disclosure, trust -building.

You're even mimicking my body language.

Classic Schroeder technique.

You're right.

That is exactly what I'm doing.

Well, I see you clearly passed your fear training.

You're a good student.

I was the instructor.

But you knew that.

Right. Pretty perceptive.

Kind of makes me wonder how you got yourself into this mess.

Did you plan to kidnap Claire Gaines, or was it a spur -of -the -moment kind of

thing?

So disappointing, Agent Knight.

You got me talking and you squander it with that leading and manipulative

question.

Let's cut the crap, Molly.

You are looking at a New York Times bestseller list of felonies.

Assault, robbery, kidnapping.

Not to mention attempted murder if that DNA underneath your fingernails matches

Claire Gaines. So I suggest you start talking and tell me where the hell

is. Read technique.

Leads to false confession.

It's like watching a tiger shark versus a saltwater crocodile.

It's anyone's guess who's going to survive.

It doesn't make any sense. Why would you turn yourself in but not say anything?

It's Parker.

Looks like Molly didn't just wander into NCIS.

She drove here.

Parking director Vance's spot?

Oh, I know how this movie ends.

With a head in a box.

Yes, I tried parking in a guest space, but those are all filled, too.

Look, someone needs to come and address this, all right? Director! Stay back!

Guys, I mean, it's not that big a deal.

Pass on your side. It's clear.

Clear here, too. I got keys inside.

Gentlemen, you want to fill me in? Sergeant Delgado, it's this car and fake

credentials to get in the Navy Yard. And parked in my space. That's ballsy.

I got blood.

Wait, you think she brought a gift?

You want to open it? You got the keys.

Well, I'm not going to open it.

All right, fine, fine, fine.

Ready? Yep.

Please tell me that's not Claire Gaines.

Molly brought us a surprise.

Worst surprise ever.

Neil Oaken, 45 years old, from Arlington. Cause of death was... Let me

the knife they found sticking out of his neck?

I guess that one was pretty obvious, huh?

Looks like he put up a fight before he was killed. Multiple lacerations and

bruising across his face and arms and some scratch marks. Plus, his DNA

matched... The skin samples I pulled from underneath Molly Delgado's

fingernails. Those two of them got into it, and Molly ends up on the right side

of the dirt. Which is wild, because Oaken's got her by five inches and a

pounds. Molly's a Marine, trained in hand -to -hand combat. Oaken was

too, by the FBI.

He's a Fed?

No, former Fed, technically.

Oh, thank God.

They told me Molly Delgado turned herself in, that she brought a body.

I was so concerned. I still don't know where Claire is, but we're going to find

out.

I know this man.

This is Neil Oken, former FBI. He left the Bureau about a year ago under

mysterious circumstances.

Nothing mysterious about it.

I had him fired for embezzlement. He was stealing government funds. So he's not

your biggest fan.

You think he's involved with my wife's kidnapping? I'm saying this might not be

about crypto passwords and cash.

It might be about revenge.

A couple weeks after I fired Oaken, I started receiving anonymous threats.

It had to have been him.

I'm the reason that Claire's in trouble.

No, sir.

Neil Oaken and Molly Delgado were the reason, and we're going to do everything

in our power to get your wife back safely.

You got the body that you left for us in the trunk?

Thanks for that.

Cool. You know what?

You play the quiet game.

I'll just think out loud.

You know, it makes perfect sense that the ex -FBI agent would want to get

revenge on the guy who got him fired from his job.

But the ex -FBI agent didn't kidnap anybody.

You did.

Problem is, I can't find anything that connects the two of you.

So why would a decorated Marine kidnap a woman, murder some dude, and then

surrender herself without uttering a word.

I think that underneath that tough girl exterior, there's fear,

and there's sadness.

I can feel it. So why won't you talk?

You don't.

This is a distraction.

What are you stalling for?

Molly, not one single move that you have made so far has made any sense. I'm

missing something big here.

Tell me I'm right.

This interview is over.

You can't just barge in here. Of course I can. This case has escalated from

kidnapping to the murder of a former FBI agent.

Sergeant Delgado is coming with us.

I just need a few more minutes.

Rollins!

Not like we didn't try everything we could. Yeah, I never wanted us on this

kidnapping. The moment we got close, they snatched it away.

You doing okay there, killer?

I was so close.

Molly was about to talk, make sense of this whole thing.

Or make it more complicated, you don't know.

Okay, you know what? We're going to move this old baby to the timeout corner.

Molly had defensive wounds. Okay. If Molly was somehow a victim, she had

of time to tell you. There's a piece of this puzzle missing. I know it. Maybe,

but it's the FBI's puzzle now. Okay, and our kidnap victim is going to be the

one to pay the price because there's no way that Agent Rollins is going to get

Molly to talk anytime soon. There's also no way that Agent Rollins is going to

give us another crack at her. Not with Gaines breathing down her neck. The FBI

will want the win. There. The only way you're going to talk to Molly is if you

sneak into the FBI and find her on your own.

Uh, that's not an option. Thank you, McGee.

But it could be an option.

If I had a distraction, like a living legend at the FBI.

As much as I would like to add breaking and entering into FBI headquarters to my

bucket list, I am on very thin ice with Vance, as it is. I can break through the

molly if I get another shot.

And if we find Claire, who cares which agency breaks the case?

I know we're not on the Molly Delgado case anymore.

But I also know we still are too. No, we're not, Casey.

Either way, hat off the presses.

Turns out the car Molly drove to NCIS belonged to Neil Okun. Not a surprise.

No, but what I found on the front bumper, maybe.

I can get you five minutes.

That's all I need?

I know we don't say this often enough, but NCIS couldn't be more grateful for

our continuing partnership with the FBI.

You can plead us.

Right. So, in return for all your ongoing hard work, we'd like to present

with this small token of our gratitude, okay?

Dig in, everybody.

Don't be shy.

On the house.

Come on, everybody. Enjoy. Thank you. Thank you, thank you.

Agent Rollins, there's a crawler with your name on it. I'm vegan.

Well, you know what?

We've got vegan options, too.

If Claire Gaines is still missing, I'm not sure we should be celebrating.

Well, this isn't celebration.

It's appreciation and a chance to recharge.

You say so.

You know, this whole Claire Gaines case reminds me of when I was chasing a

Philly Phantom.

Remember? Yeah. Wait, you worked the Philly Phantom?

If I work it, you mean broke the case?

I'm the one who realized he was hiding inside the diamond exchange wall?

Hello. So how do you think to check inside the wall in the first place? This

such a good story. I'm going to use this.

Well, I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. The details were actually

in a donut.

Picture this. At the base of the diamond exchange wall, we find...

Well, look at that.

I managed to surprise you this time.

Why are you here?

Well, last time we were having a conversation, we got interrupted by the

You were doing most of the talking.

Now it's your turn.

Here's your shot.

What the hell is going on?

Come on.

I just snuck into the FBI for you.

It's not going to take them long to figure out that I'm here, so please work

with me.

I have nothing to say.

You have a lot to say.

You've just been waiting for the right person to trust, and that person is

wrong.

This is Neil Oaken's car.

His front fender is dented, and the paint on the car matches the paint from

yours.

He rammed you off the road, didn't he?

You killed him.

You're not denying that.

But my gut is telling me that this is self -defense. Am I warm?

Just let it go.

So if this is self -defense, that means that you weren't helping Ogun to kidnap

Claire.

You were trying to protect her.

That's right.

But Ogun is dead and you're still not telling me where Claire is. Why not?

She isn't safe yet. Safe from what?

Someone worse.

Listen to me, Molly.

You do not have to do this alone.

I swear I will protect you and Claire. You just have to tell me.

Where is Claire?

Your wife is on the other side of that door.

This is all a misunderstanding.

I'm going to need some time alone with my wife to sort this out.

I had Parker and I had Held at the field office.

You've got time.

You're a good agent, and your loyalty won't be forgotten.

It's Brett.

Claire, I know you're in there.

And I know you're scared.

But you don't have to be.

Not anymore.

How did you find me?

Darling, there is nowhere you can go. I won't find you.

Someone killed me.

I'm sorry for losing my temper.

For hurting you.

Please. I could never leave you, Claire.

And you will never leave me.

Not again.

So just open the door.

Come back home.

I'm not coming back with you.

Ever.

Damn it, Claire!

Open the door!

I'm sorry.

Really? It's just, if that's how you feel, I'll let you go.

Just open the door.

Tell me face to face.

Look at what you're making me do, Claire.

Drop the weapon. Do it now.

Rollins? Turns out you're a son of a bitch. Deputy Attorney General Gaines,

you're under arrest.

Claire?

Claire! Stop moving, sir. Claire!

I'm not going to warn you again. Get your hands off of me! Claire, this is

fault!

Now look what you made me do.

Casey was right. The book club wasn't just a book club. It was an underground

railroad for abused women.

Explains why they hadn't read any of my books. Does it though, Maggie?

Each member helps women who can't or won't go to law enforcement to start a

life. An accountant?

Lawyer? Yeah, Margaret, the real estate agent. She finds safe houses.

And Molly is in charge of extraction.

She was trying to get Claire to Canada.

Gaines sent someone to stop them. Yeah, Oaken.

Gaines fired him, and then he realized he had the perfect guy to do his dirty

work. Mm -hmm. And once Molly realized that Gaines was on to her, she knew that

there was no way that she could get her across the border. She didn't know who

to trust. Yeah, she turned herself in to buy some time for the book club to try

to move Claire.

Impressive operation, this book club. Some real undersung heroes. Any idea how

many women they've helped? Some things are better left unknown.

Agent Knight, do you have a moment?

I hear they dropped all the charges.

Thank you for believing in me.

If you hadn't, Gaines would have turned this whole situation against me. Well,

if it were up to me, I'd give you a medal. The last thing I need is any more

attention.

It's called underground for a reason.

Right.

Just remember, though, there are people that you can trust.

Same goes for you, Agent Knight.

Do you ever meet someone who needs our help?

Is that a referral system?

And how Claire got in touch with you?

Times are bad.

Look for the helpers.

They're everywhere.

Mr. Rogers.

Wise man.

Special Agent Rollins.

Something I can help you with?

Just here to take Molly home.

What a helper.

Who is a helper?

You know, some things are just best left unknown. But what matters is that

Dean's gonna go to jail and Claire has found a new family in the book club.

Well, speaking of family... I've never seen

Barbara throw down.

She didn't even stop to tell you how nice your hair looks. I know, right?

But Dean's time for me to be a helper.

I am so sorry, Barbara. I can't believe I misplaced an entire year's worth of

purchase orders.

Unfortunately, Dr. Palmer, I can.

But we'll get to the bottom of it.

What is all this? For your encore performance.

We feel bad we missed your show. You always do so much for us that we thought

we'd do something for you.

So, we build you a stage.

Technically, I built it. And I called some of your theater group to help out.

What's happening?

You made all this fuss for me?

Well, you know, that's what family does.

I don't know about this. Hey, it's your moment, okay?

Thank you.
