All right, check your gear.

This is rarefied air, my friends.

Halo jumps aren't something
a lot of civilians get to do.

Yeah!

We're jumping at 30,000
feet. Mask up. Stay calm.

Remember your training.

Let's go, guys.

Whoo! That is what
I'm talking about, baby.

Damn, you landed like a bullet.

Hey, guys, I think there's
something wrong with pad ill a.

Padilla! Hey!

I am so excited about this one.

Okay, Morgan.

Dare I ask why?

The guy's alive when he jumps,
and dead when he hits the ground.

You're not excited to figure
out how you kill someone midair?

We can't assume that.

Could be he lost consciousness midair
and died on impact when he hit the ground.

Why would we be here if the medical
examiner didn't think it was murder?

Just try to keep your
enthusiasm at an appropriate level.

What do we know?

Captain Alonso pad ill a,
retired air force special recon.

Worked as a therapist on base
but still served in the reserves.

Taught skydiving here twice a week.

Seemed like everyone liked him,
until this. It was a routine jump.

Me found this in his jumpsuit.

"I know what you're doing. Stop or die."

One of padilla's students
could've slipped that into his pocket.

Or maybe someone
else did it on the ground.

The point of the note was to get
him to back off whatever he was doing.

Why threaten the guy if
you're about to kill him?

Plus, this wasn't written today.

I left my phone in the car. Give me yours.

The last time I let you
borrow my phone...

I changed the ringtone to "baby got
back." I haven't heard the end of it.

Just give me your phone.
This is work-related.

It wasn't funny.

See, when you write with
ink, at first, the line is sharp,

but because the ink has solvents
in it, over time, the line fades.

That's why you get that
little halo around the letters.

A few days later, the solvent
evaporates, and the dye stays where it is.

So, this was written
at least a few days ago.

And pad ill a was just walking around
with a death threat in his pocket?

Maybe he was trying
to figure out who wrote it.

Maybe he was using it as motivation.

Well, whatever it is, it's
safe to say pad ill a didn't stop

and the killer followed through.

I think it's time to talk to his students.

Couldn't he just had a heart
attack, plain and simple?

Why? Did pad ill a mention
feeling sick? Anything unusual?

No, he was in good spirits.

Had a good talk with
Suzie, the medical examiner.

- She gets it.
- She gets what?

- Hi, I'm Morgan.
- Ethan.

I was just about to ask how
long you'd known Alonso pad ill a.

Couple weeks. I just
started coming here.

Did he seem nervous about the jump?

Not from what I could tell.

Look, I wish I could help you out,
but if you want to speak to someone

who knew him much better
than I did, that would be Tina.

I own this place, and even
I took lessons from pad ill a.

His love of skydiving was infectious,

and his military experience,
that was a big draw.

But I don't know, lately it seemed
like he didn't wanna talk about it.

Well, Tina, from the moment
pad ill a arrived here today

until he went up in the jump plane,
did you notice anything suspicious?

No, everything was
perfectly normal until…

Sorry, I'm still processing
all of this, so… …

He was a really good guy.

Well, Tina, thank you.

If we have any further
questions, we'll let you know.

- This is interesting.
- A blank white key card.

The key card itself isn't that interesting,

but the fact that it's here is.

It doesn't belong. They
use metal keys here.

This could be for a
million different things.

Well, then let's go
whittle it down, big guy.

All right, let's see what we have here.

Me's report.

God. How did you get that so fast?

I don't know what to tell you. I'm
extremely charming, lieutenant, okay?

- Suzie fast-tracked it.
- Which we will talk about later.

Understood. You guys
wanna know how pad ill a died?

Hypoxia. It's lack of oxygen.

He suffocated.

Wait, the techs checked his gear.

His helmet and oxygen
mask were working properly.

Any chance it was a
rare medical condition?

No. Doesn't explain the death threat.

We'll continue to
investigate this as a murder

unless we have reason
to believe otherwise.

A midair homicide. I will
work this case for free.

I don't mean that. That's
just something people say.

Nice to see such dedication.

Solomon.

What a nice surprise.
How can we help you?

Internal affairs received information
that Ms. Gillory interfaced with our me

without proper supervision,
instructing her to, quote,

"put a rush on the pad ill a case. That's
a direct order from the higher-ups."

Well, no. That's maybe a bit of
a paraphrasing on Suzie's part.

I just… she just… she did me a favor.

That favor cost us $12,000 in rush fees.

- What?
- Morgan.

I appreciate you letting us know,

and I will make sure that
this never happens again.

- Yeah.
- Will you?

Can you honestly say that this
isn't just the most recent example

of her flouting procedure at every turn?

Okay, hang on there for just one second.

I've never flouted anything.
Thank you very much.

You sure about that?

- She's got a…
- get off me.

Wait.

Yes, I am.

This marks one overstep too many.

I'm sending you to
detective training academy.

Sorry, that… that's not
a thing. Detective trai…

Okay, that sounds like
obedience school for cops.

More or less.

Once you've completed the course,
you may resume regular duties.

Are you serious?

All right, just… I'm
gonna finish this case,

and then I'll go to… …your academy.

No, you may not.

And if you don't pass, there
won't be any more cases.

Look, I know you're
being sent for training,

you don't want to learn
rules that you will not follow.

Wow, you're good.

But, full disclosure, I
helped create the course.

Of course you did.

Great. I was worried I wouldn't
know exactly who to resent

while I'm stuck here.

Please just keep an open mind.

Are you asking me not to
start a fight with anyone?

That is exactly what I'm asking.

Adam. You're looking well.

Dottie. You haven't changed a bit.

Morgan. This is sergeant Dottie
Reynolds. She runs the course.

Hi, Dottie, nice to meet you.

Listen, you seem like a busy lady.
You do not need to be babysitting me.

I had an idea. Why don't
I just take the final exam?

- Morgan.
- That's not how it works.

But with an open mind, it could be.

It appears you're doing
the lord's work with this one.

Why would she say that?
What does that mean?

She read the memos.

There's no memos.

Ia sent Morgan to detective school?

Yes, yes, I know.

Silver lining though. I think that
this will be really good for her.

I don't care about the class.

I need to know what's going on in
my squad so I can stay ahead of things.

I got it under control.

Do you?

I heard about your case.

Padilla was air force, which means at
some point, jag is gonna try and step in.

Which is exactly why I
reached out to my contacts.

Good, because my contacts
already got back to me.

So, you already reached out
to your contacts on my case.

Military cases are sensitive.

So, I threw around some rank to
keep jag from getting in the mix.

Well, thank you for the
assist. I can take it from here.

Well, I'm actually going to
padilla's house with karadec.

Because you need to throw
rank around at the victim's house?

You're down a consultant, lieutenant.
Thought I'd lend a helping hand.

And when I need one, I'll come find you.

I'm already here. Consider
me your new secret weapon.

Your silence speaks volumes.

Yeah? What does it seem to be saying?

You don't want me on this case.

More like I'm wondering why
you wanna be on this case.

Good leaders don't solve
problems from their desks.

Captains aren't usually out in the field.
And yet time and time again, here you are.

Now, your silence is speaking volumes.

Well, what do you think it's saying?

It's unclear.

Yeah, that's what worries me.

Padilla's house is immaculate.

Every book squared to the
edge, every object in its place.

A soldier's precision in civilian life.

If I didn't know better, I'd
have guessed you lived here.

Let's bag that up when we go.

I'm guessing your view of the
military isn't a very good one, captain.

I don't see how an institution
built on hierarchy and obedience

jives with a man who lives in the gray.

Well, you misread that one, detective.

I respect the military.

The discipline it instills isn't at odds

with knowing when and
how to bend the rules,

especially when someone
on your team is in trouble.

You may be surprised to learn,

the most honest part
of our body is our feet.

- That does surprise me.
- Something to say, Ms. Gillory?

Well, yeah, mostly I'm just
trying to pace my attention span.

Are we going to move on anytime soon,

or are we gonna camp out
in the feet world for a bit?

The material here is
of extreme importance.

Okay.

For example, we've all
been trained by experience

to hide what we're feeling on our faces.

Well, most of us.

But our feet are hardwired
into our fight-or-flight instincts.

When our ancestors were
being chased by a tiger,

they didn't have time to craft a
polished response, they just ran.

So, when someone is
comfortable in a conversation,

their feet are relaxed, facing forward.

But when they are uncomfortable,

when they are lying, or eager
to get out of a conversation,

their feet tell the story.

I have to step out. My
kids' school is calling.

A couple of tardies and suddenly
I'm raising criminals. I'll be right back.

You'll barely miss me.

Okay, let's move on to lips.

She did it again.

Morgan, you can't be calling me.

Yes, I know.

Listen, you have to
question Ethan wolfe again.

What? Why?

Chapter two, interview and interrogation.
His feet were all over the place.

I think he's lying.

- Morgan, if you get caught…
- I'm helping you.

Morgan, we gotta go.

Why? What's going on?

Stop! LAPD!

What do we know about this guy?

He's an aerospace engineer
for flagstone defense systems.

So, if anybody has the
skills to plan a midair murder…

Daphne sent his picture
over to the clinic at the air force

to see if anyone recognized him.

Turns out he was seen
arguing with pad ill a a month ago.

Now we just need to know why.

You ready to talk?

We already got you on
breaking and entering.

And resisting arrest.

But you know what's a
whole lot worse than that?

Go ahead, tell him.

Murder.

Hey, there he is.
Finally got your attention.

Start talking.

My brother Silas was a test pilot for
the air force, code name thunder bird.

He had PTSD pretty bad.

And a few weeks ago, he…

He wrapped his car
around a telephone pole.

We're sorry for your loss, Ethan.

Padilla was his therapist,

and he failed him.

I was upset. I was angry.

I let it get the best of me,
and after my brother's funeral,

I went over to his office to confront him.

Why take a skydiving
class with pad ill a?

Was it to make sure he
stopped moving on with his life?

How could I… how would I
have killed him? He died midair.

You're the aerospace
engineer. You tell us.

Tell us why you were at padilla's house.

I think he's earned a
trip to the holding cell.

Hey, let's get a full workup on this guy.

Financials, socials,
phone records, anything...

hold off on that for a second.

Wolfe's too smart to leave
anything in his digital record.

The real dirt is going to be in his house.

Daphne and oz should head there.

But we don't have probable
cause to search his home.

I'll get us a warrant within the hour.

You heard him, prep the search.

Lieutenant, look, I see
what you're dealing with.

Do I look like I want to talk
about this right now? Do I?

I'm sorry, all right? I just…

I will deal with captain
Wagner in my own way, okay?

- Understood.
- But Morgan...

- I'll go check on her.
- Yes.

Because if Solomon
finds out that she calls us...

I will make sure that Morgan is
not breaking or bending any rules.

- Please, and thank you.
- Yeah.

- Lieutenant soto.
- How's Morgan doing?

She's safe and worried about
you. We found your truck.

What happened?

Well, the guy tailing me wasn't
gonna let me get to the station,

so I pulled over, I left the
truck and got out of there quick

and dropped off the grid.

All right, well tell me where you are.
I can put you in protective custody.

No, no, no. That ship has
sailed. It's too late for that.

I got my own plans now.

Arthur, you can't go after him.

Hey, they came after
me. Remember? Twice.

I understand that, but what
if it becomes a third time?

- Then what the hell are you gonna do?
- No, I don't think you do understand.

See, Roman was like a brother to me.

Now this guy, he must know
something about what happened to him.

And if you find him, then what?

I'm gonna get him to talk.
Believe me. It's as simple as that.

No, simple is you letting me and
my team find out who did this to you.

I don't need you on my list.

Then don't add me to it.

Arthur.

- Please tell me that's a Reuben.
- It is a Reuben.

Does this Reuben come with an
elaborate plan to get me out of here?

It does not.

Then what are you doing here?

I'm just trying to make sure you survive
today, so we can catch bad guys tomorrow.

That's very sweet.

Also, you absolutely
cannot call us, Morgan.

Because if Dottie were to see
that and tell Solomon, it would be...

I knew that's why you were
here. Will you relax, please?

Dottie didn't see anything.

Dr. Maeve Sloan, the flight surgeon
who runs the mental health department

where pad ill a worked, wants to talk.

Okay, well, text me if you
hear anything interesting.

Did you not hear a word I
just said 30 seconds ago?

I heard exactly what I wanted
to hear, and I'm starving.

So, either stay or get out of here.

Eat, and please behave.

Forgot the pickles.

This is the mental health
wing where pad ill a worked.

You said you think you know
who's responsible for his death?

I wouldn't go that far, but if it were
me, I know where I'd be looking.

Last month, after
thunder bird died, Silas wolfe.

Padilla started acting different.

He felt guilty, like
he'd missed something.

He told me he was worried
the same thing was happening

with some of his other patients.

Something other than
PTSD? Any idea what?

I'm not sure he ever figured
it out, or even if he was right.

But he started requesting
medical workups for patients,

grounding pilots, which delayed
deployment of their missions.

That would have made pad ill a enemies.
One bad evaluation could ruin a career.

Yeah. Plus, if the pilots weren't fit to fly

and the top brass had
been told but ignored it…

Padilla would be a liability
that they needed to take care of.

Do you know the names of the
patients? Projects they were assigned to?

I don't, but even if I did,

I couldn't violate hip a a
guidelines without a court order.

Could we maybe look in his office?

Just even his personal
effects might tell us something.

That I can do.

Like I said, we were close.

That's one mystery solved.

We found a key card exactly like that in
padilla's locker at the skydiving school.

Yes, these things control
our lives around here.

Parking, getting in the building,
the copier, one card to rule them all.

I'll be next door if you need me.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Image of perfection, just like his house.

Look at this frame
though. It's weird, right?

It's thicker than it needs to be.

- Look at the thunder bird in the corner.
- Yeah.

That was Silas wolfe's handle.
He was padilla's patient who died.

So, maybe these pictures at the top,

touchdown, whiskey,
samurai, ace, are test pilots too.

And possibly padilla's patients as well.

Makes sense. But what is
this board trying to tell us?

If we only had someone
good at puzzles at our disposal.

Well, we don't. We can't use Morgan.

I'm in the business of catching bad
guys, detective karadec. She can help.

If she gets caught, she
could lose her job, captain.

I'm not asking. Text her the board.

Control the scene,
preserve the evidence.

If you fail at either, a killer goes free.

Our victim, 45, GSW to the
chest, robbery gone wrong.

Not a robbery though.

And why would you say that?

Well, for starters,

a loading dock is a pretty dumb
place to Rob somebody, right?

There's gonna be a bunch of
people coming in and out. No privacy.

And then what? I'm gonna steal from
one guy and get maybe a hundred bucks,

but leave behind a fancy gold
chain that costs more than my car?

The whole thing just feels staged.

It is staged. Well. It's well done.
But you know what I'm saying.

Anything else?

Well, all the cigarette butts.

There's like half a
pack of butts over here.

Yeah, let's see.

So, if somebody's sitting around
smoking cigarettes, waiting for somebody,

that means they didn't jump somebody,
which means it's gotta be personal.

In our scenario, the victim was
having an affair with the killer's wife.

- Ooh. Okay.
- Well done.

Thanks.

Let's talk about how to process a scene.

Secure the perimeter.

Make sure everyone who is
supposed to be here is logged.

Then before you touch a thing,
document. Photos, sketches, notes...

Are you breaking the rules?

Against my better judgment. You
have captain Wagner, Daphne, and oz.

Hey, guys. Get me out of here.

- Hey, Morgan.
- If we could, we would.

Morgan, we think each column
is for one of padilla's patients,

but we need help
making sense of the rest.

Okay, well, the
silhouettes are all symbols.

Anxiety, fatigue, confusion, headaches.

Those are all symptoms of PTSD.

Which is what thunder bird
supposedly had,

but according to Dr. Sloan,
pad ill a had his doubts.

Well, yeah, I can see what he's
talking about. Look at the post-it notes.

There's a global color language for
danger so that everybody can understand.

White is safe, yellow's bad, red's worse.

Padilla was tracking their
symptoms, but look at the dates.

All these guys' symptoms started
and progressed around the same time,

but that's not how PTSD works.

It hits everyone differently.

So their symptoms were like PTSD
but caused by something else. What?

No idea, but whatever it was,

it's starting to feel a lot like digging
into it is what got pad ill a killed.

All right, what's next?

Hanging up the phone?

Yes, absolutely.

- Can I just fini...
- no.

Morgan, do what she says.

Next time, I'll take that.

- Not a child.
- What was that?

Yes, ma'am. That's what I was saying.

Exactly what I didn't want to happen.

We need to find the other test
pilots, let them know they're in danger.

Yeah, if they're still alive.

Looks like we missed one.
Cadmus from Greek mythology.

But why doesn't cadmus
have its own column?

Maybe cadmus isn't a who.

It's a what. Because I also see a
logo for flagstone defense systems.

Guess we're making a
visit to the holding cell.

Cadmus is the prototype plane
that flagstone defense systems

is making for the air force, isn't it?

And because of the symptoms
pad ill a saw in the test pilots,

he realized something
was wrong with the plane.

When I confronted him about
Silas, he told me what he suspected,

and he asked for my help.

Because of my clearance, I have
access to the diagnostics on the plane.

What did you find out?

There's a problem with
the life-support system.

There's not enough
oxygen getting to the cockpit.

Your brother didn't have
PTSD. He had hypoxia.

What about the other pilots?

They're still flying the plane.

I wanted to tell them
what's happening, but…

You're scared.

The stakes are huge.

Life-support system
sounds expensive to fix.

Billions.

It would delay the schedule.

Who had the skill set and the motive
to kill pad ill a and keep this secret?

Ramsey pike, lead engineer.

When I confronted him
about what I discovered,

he said we could find the
root failure after product launch.

And where's the proof?

I don't know. I-I gave it to pad ill a
on a flash drive a few days ago.

He texted me yesterday,
said it was urgent we meet.

That's why you were
at his skydiving class.

He told me about the death threat.

When he ended up dead,
I went over to the house

to look for the file, but I couldn't find it.

Ethan, we're gonna find those files and
get justice for pad ill a and your brother.

Cadmus is the prototype
jet that flagstone defense

is developing for the air
force, isn't that right, Mr. Pike?

It is.

Were you aware that all of
your pilots have been showing

PTSD-like symptoms, and
one of them, Mr. Pike, is dead?

Of course I'm aware.

What happened to thunder bird is tragic,

but we found no connection
between their symptoms and our plane.

You sure you looked hard enough?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means that there's something wrong
with your plane's life-support system,

and your pilots are slowly suffocating.

You think we didn't look into that?

You think I'd put a pilot in
that cockpit if it wasn't safe?

We think it's a design flaw
that would cost billions to fix.

Makes it worth hiding.

Do you have proof of any of this?

We'd like to see your diagnostics.

Good.

Come back with a warrant, get
through my lawyers, and you can.

Mr. Pike, where were you this morning?

I was here. Talk to my team.

In the meantime, get out of my hangar.

- I really like that guy a lot.
- Yeah, he's a real charmer.

If you ask me, pike knew
about the design flaw.

Padilla had the proof,
and he killed him for it.

Yeah, well, if you're right about that,

pad ill a did a damn fine
job of hiding that proof.

Where are we with padilla's computer?

It's still backed up with
tid. Could take a while.

The LAPD formed the first
American crime unit in 1968.

Then in '86, the commissioner
reorganized the work flow

by moving missing persons
under the umbrella of...

Ms. Gillory, you have a question?

Well, it's actually more of a confession.

I am just now realizing
how all of these departments

really make up the
beating heart of the LAPD.

Take, I don't know, tid for example.

I-I feel like we all take it for granted.

I agree. Digital evidence is
the core of detective work.

- Chain of custody, encryption, all of it.
- Yeah, all of it.

And I feel like it would really
help us appreciate what they do

if we were to see 'em in action, you
know, rather than just hearing about it.

You know what? That's a fine idea.

I think a little field trip is in order.

Good idea.

Tid handles everything digital.

Phones, laptops, cloud
storage, surveillance footage,

if it's got a hard drive, it
comes through this room.

Now, chain of custody is key...

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

Morgan, where are you calling me from?

Wait, let me guess.

I wasn't supposed to use my phone.

- You're not supposed to use any phone.
- Okay, well, that wasn't made clear.

Guess what? I got the
password for padilla's computer.

What? From where?

A really sweet tid guy. His
name's Lyle. Do you know him?

Never mind. So before he died,

pad ill a sent something
to his office printer.

It's still in the queue.

Padilla's key card.

All right, thanks.

- Yeah?
- Morgan, we got him.

All the diagnostics on cadmus
showing the design flaw.

Padilla got his hands
on the proof. Pike knew.

No way. That's amazing.

You have the wrong num... yep.

Sorry.

Dottie's summation.

Good.

"Miss gillory presents a
litany of unique challenges."

Disruptive, chaotic, difficult,
stubborn, a one-woman hurricane

who manages to stand
in the eye of the storm,

who has an affinity for knowing
when and how to break the rules.

But she demonstrates an ability

to connect with cases in ways
conventional detectives cannot.

"With proper supervision, she
can be wielded to great effect."

Dottie.

See? I knew she secretly liked me.

It's a big secret, but...

her recommendation is that we
retain your services as a consultant

for major crimes with continued
training and close supervision.

Really? Okay, fine.
Agreed. Sounds good.

Can I get back to my team?
'Cause we got work to do.

No.

Because I'm not taking
her recommendation.

Your insubordination
isn't a quirk, Morgan,

it's a liability, and it's a shame.

Official paperwork will
go through tomorrow.

What paper... am I being fired?

Absolutely.

Life-support systems were
indeed giving the test pilots hypoxia.

It's right here in black and white.
Pike knew about the malfunction.

He scrubbed the information from
the reports he sent the air force,

so no one in command knew.

The good news is jag
terminated his contract

and has opened a full investigation.

So those test pilots are safe.

Yes, but pad ill a had to die for it.

And pike had an alibi.

So we still can't prove he killed pad ill a.

Or how.

We better find what we're missing or
this guy's gonna get away with murder.

Wouldn't mind having
Morgan here right now.

I assume you heard about Morgan.

I did.

She shouldn't have
been working this case.

Lieutenant, I'm not gonna
apologize for using a valuable asset

who was aware of the
risks and helped anyway.

Wow.

You're a piece of work.

Please, don't stop. Seems
like you have a lot more to say.

- I promise you don't want to hear it.
- Don't worry about me.

Go ahead.

You take over my office.

You barge into my cases.

You undercut me in front of my team.

You keep finding all these new
ways to lord your position over mine,

a position that, by the way, I actually

more than earned, and
I sat here and I took it

because I thought I
was doing the right thing.

I was so wrong. I should
have told you this before.

Because now the moves that
you're making are affecting my team.

You knew it.

Morgan was on thin ice, and instead
of protecting her, you hand her a stone.

From now on, as long
as I sit in that chair,

you will treat me and my team
with the respect that we deserve.

If that doesn't work
for you, fire my ass too.

Understood.

All right. What do we got?

We're taking the evidence from the top.

Padilla was fine before takeoff,
and he was fine in the air.

So what changed between
gearing up and making that jump

when every single piece of equipment
was checked and working perfectly?

In other words, how did
pike commit a murder midair?

Morgan.

Wasn't expecting to see you here.

What do you mean?
You're here, I'm here.

Morgan, you can't work the case.

- Is this 'cause I got "fired"?
- Yes.

You guys, come on. You don't
think this is gonna blow over?

That's crazy.

I'm valuable here. Dottie saw it.

Solomon put in the paperwork.

Well, we all know that could take
weeks if not months to process.

- More like hours.
- Okay, then we call the union, right?

File an appeal.

Morgan, there's no appeal.

I'm really sorry it worked out like this.

Wow.

Okay.

Silver lining, I lasted a lot longer
than anybody thought I would, right?

Including myself.

This is on me. I should've
kept you out of the investigation.

Stop it. You think you
could have done that?

It's okay.

It's okay. I'm okay.

In fact, did you know that if you
file something after 6:00 P.M.,

it doesn't get processed
until the next day?

So, technically, I am still on
the books until tomorrow morning.

See? I did pay attention
in detective school.

- You talking an all-nighter?
- I love an all-nighter.

Let's get to work.

Morgan, a word.

You should know I heard from Arthur.

He's safe.

But he still won't come in.

I don't expect you to keep going with this.

The Roman situation has
gotten really dangerous, and I...

and that's what I signed up for.

We're good.

Philip, you gotta make
them get you the real stuff.

That knockoff cleaner isn't gonna cut it.

Your pilots are slowly suffocating.

There's a problem with
the life-support system.

Padilla got his hands
on the proof. Pike knew.

"I know what you're doing. Stop or die."

His helmet and oxygen
mask were working properly.

Who am I calling? The morgue?
The evidence locker? The air force?

The lab.

I figured it out.

Come to see me suffer up close?

No, that's just a perk.

Well, my company was
everything, and now it's gone.

- I have nothing left to lose.
- What about your freedom, sir?

Because we can prove
you killed Alonso pad ill a.

The sudden onslaught of PTSD-like
symptoms in the death of Silas wolfe

tipped pad ill a off that
there was something wrong

with all the pilots attached to cadmus.

So he started searching for answers,
causing a stir, requesting medical tests.

And you were the lead
engineer on cadmus.

Somebody starts poking around,
ordering labs on your pilots,

I'd be nervous too.

So you started following him,
asking questions about him,

learning your enemy to figure
out how to take him down.

And you did find a way, because
when it came to skydiving,

pad ill a wasn't a weekend thrill seeker.

He was ex-special recon.

That means halo jumps,
which require high-altitude gear.

Specifically, an oxygen mask,
which is what you used to kill him.

See, an oxygen mask and tank
are a mini life-support system.

The tank feeds pressurized
air into the mask.

And when you exhale, the carbon dioxide
is released through the exhalation valve.

But if you put a valve in
there made from materials that

cannot handle extreme temperatures,
where's that carbon dioxide gonna go?

- That's what happened to padilla's mask.
- Our labs confirmed it.

His valve was made with a
different material than his students.

Yeah, it was an off-brand
that had been known to freeze

during high-altitude jumps.

And unless somebody had a reason, no
one would have tested what it was made of.

Ninety seconds after he
jumped, disorientation kicked in.

His lungs filled with co2. He blacked
out. Then eventually died midair.

We knew he suffocated, but his
exact cause of death was hypercapnia,

an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood.

I've never met pad ill a.
Where are you getting this?

With air force's help, we've
got satellite footage of you

breaking into the skydiving facility
the night before pad ill a was murdered.

Yeah. You gotta put that hood up.

Ramsey pike, you're under arrest
for the murder of Alonso pad ill a.

Turn around. Hands, sir.

You wanted a word?

It's not an apology.

I stand by what I said.

I respect that.

You wanted to be in the loop?

Now you're in the loop.

When did you get these?

Does it matter?

Solomon went after one of our own.

And you're doing what you
have to do to protect them.

Now and always.

No matter where the
danger's coming from.

I trust I have your support?

You do.

- Good night.
- Good night.

I think I figured out what
your silence is trying to say.

Can't wait to hear this.

See, a guy like you doesn't take a job

he knows will keep him
from the thing he loves.

Being in the field.

Unless, of course, someone forced you.

So I have to ask, who's the one person
Nick Wagner is too scared to cross?

Have a good night, captain.

Whatever you have to say,
you're wasting your breath.

You mind if I say it anyway?

Morgan just helped us save the lives

of four decorated servicemen
and got justice for another.

She can go too far sometimes.
I'm not even denying that.

But that kind of dedication
and those kind of results…

Don't they count for something?

They don't count for enough.
I'm sorry. The decision stands.

Like I said, I had to try.

Does the chief know that you
and his wife are such close friends?

Is this really how you want to play this?

You?

Yes, it is.

- Hi. Come in.
- Thank you.

Your doorbell though,
Morgan, what's up?

It's still broken.

Where is everybody?

Sleepover at ludo's.

Just making banana splits
'cause I'm feeling sorry for myself.

You want one?

Yes, I do.

So what is this? You here to
discuss my severance package?

You're not getting a severance package.

Because you're not going anywhere.

Solomon's had a change of heart.

Really?

- Why?
- I don't know. Just worked out that way.

Things like this don't just work
out that way. What do you mean?

- What's going on? I'm confused.
- Morgan, take the win.

Let it go.

Did you do something?

What did you do?

Nothing that you wouldn't do for me.

That's good.
