All language subtitles for High Potential 01x12 Partners [2025-02-04 21-00] uswabc HQ

Nothing to worry about.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Anson! Come here.

Help me. Oh my God.

Hey,

where are you? Sorry. Sorry. I'm pulling
up right now.

All right. Book and bag. Let's go. But
Anna and Tom Bronski will be waiting for

you. Come on, guys. Let's do some
hustle.

Yeah, thanks, coach.

There was only one checkout lane open in
the store, so the place was a zoo,

but... I got everything on the list.

Elliot, I got your junk cereal. Don't
tell your mom.

Ava, I got spearmint gum that's at the
bottom of one of these two bags. Happy

fishing. And most importantly, fresh
diapers for my baby Chloe.

Whoa.

Fragrance and dye -free? What is it, her
birthday? Well, you make it easy for me

to do my job by paying for everything.
Speaking of which, can you do pick -ups

this afternoon?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I have to move a
couple things around. But, uh, yes.

Good? Great. I love you. Have a great
day. Bye.

Have a good one.

You think of poison?

Well, there's no way to know for sure
until I do an autopsy, but it seems the

most likely based on what I'm seeing.

The good thing is I don't believe it's
an airborne toxin.

Alcohol off -hats, man.

Any scene restrictions?

Don't touch anything.

Eyes only until I get a full toxicology
done at the lab.

Find out exactly what we're dealing with
here.

Guillory with two L's.

Come on.

Hi.

Hi. She's clear. Let her through.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Have a
beautiful day.

Seriously?

Airport police?

Morgan.

Yeah, I see him. Who is he?

Anson Pierce, founder of a company
called Virgo Core Beta Systems.

Just landed from a short flight out of
Orange County.

He's a big player in the tech world.

Developed a popular and controversial
social media platform called Enigmified.

It can turn any video you have into a
deep fake within minutes.

A few simple words of direction in
Anson's app can transform images of you

playing with your kids in the park to
you spanking one of your kids in the

Oh, awesome.

Not terrifying at all.

Please tell me Anson wasn't traveling
with a pet.

He was. His dog, Edison.

The animal's fine. It's being evaluated
now along with Anson's security team and

the pilots.

Go ahead and start processing inside of
the plane. Yeah.

Adam? Ronnie.

This is FBI Special Agent Oliver.

Respectfully, because this is an FBI
investigation... Says who?

Well, I don't want to step on anyone's
toes here, but you and I both know that

any homicide originating in U .S.
airspace falls under the jurisdiction of

FBI. It's too early to determine where
the homicide originated.

You know what? It's not too soon to
determine who our dead guy got in a

with back in Orange County on the
ground.

I don't think those busted blood vessels
are from turbulence.

I'm sorry, who is she?

Well, I'm standing right here. You could
just ask me.

Who are you?

Morgan. She's a consultant.

I see.

It's nice to meet you, Morgan. And
you're absolutely right. The petechia on

victim's neck is highly unusual.

Our medical examiner's already arranged
to have the body transported to our

morgue, so if we need any assistance on
this case, I'll reach out.

I'm gonna go take a peek around the
plane, do my thing. Whoa, whoa, whoa,

fast. By law, that aircraft is our crime
scene. Only my team should be on the

plane for the time being. Would you
kindly ask your detectives to step off,

please?

My concern is that your medical examiner
is going to quickly discover that they

are ill -equipped to crack the code on
whatever toxin killed our victim, let

alone deduce how it was administered.
Here we go. Based on intel and my

intuition, this is not a cyanide -in -a
-soup situation.

This is far more sophisticated, okay?
The what of this case will be hard, but

guarantee you the how will be harder.

Are you finished?

I'm going to want to be there for your
ME's initial findings.

I'll see you at your precinct.

Not a fan of the Fed?

Some guys are better than others.

And what kind of a guy is Ronnie Oliver?

If you like overbearing federal agents
who think they can do no wrong and want

to call all the shots, Ronnie would be
your guy. Oh, so you guys have butted

heads before.

Yeah, it's been a while.

Well, he called you Adam. The only
people I've heard call you Adam are the

lieutenant and your mom when she called
on your birthday. That was a private

call. Well, then don't take it in the
bullpen. Morgan, not everything is a

puzzle you need to solve. Come on,
clearly you and this special agent have

history. I need to know what it is so I
can be prepared.

Or use it to make fun of you.

He used to be my partner.

That's all I get?

That's all you get.

You really don't think your new partner
deserves to know what happened with your

last partner? You and I are not
officially partners. Not officially, but

I both. Morgan, um...

I need a favor. It's kind of a big one.

What? No more questions about Ronnie,
okay?

Focus on the case. Can we do that?

Yes, let's focus on the case.

Thank you.

Anson Pierce has been the subject of
controversy over his social media

It lets users create images and videos
that look so real, it's impossible to

tell what's fake and what's not.

Or it can be used to create
misinformation that can impact our

reputations, and put people's lives in
danger. Congress has tried to regulate

his company for years, but he has an
army of lawyers and lobbyists.

No wonder he needed protection.

Where's the security detail now? Still
in the process of being cleared at the

hospital. Yeah, we're getting an ETA on
when they can come in for questioning.

And if Anson was poisoned on the plane,
they may come all suspect.

Diana, it's good to see you.

Always a pleasure, Ronnie. Hold on, they
let you in the building? Lieutenant

Soto, so good to see you. Good to see
you. Wow.

Strange to be back here. Yeah, strange
to have you back.

I hear you're helping us out on one of
our cases.

Something like that. We're waiting on
the M .E. to determine where the murder

took place.

That'll determine jurisdiction.
Shouldn't you have a visitor badge or

if you want to be up here?

I won't stay long. I just figured while
we wait on your M .E.'s findings, I'll

join you while you question Anson's
family and witnesses.

Oh, I'll need the transcripts before I
leave, if it's not too much trouble.

Detective, you mind some company?

Why not?

we're very sorry for your loss. Right
now, we're just trying to gather as much

information as we can.

Well, can you tell us about your son?

When most kids were out kicking a ball
or riding bikes, Anson wanted to change

the world.

He was nine when I realized his brain
works in ways most of ours don't.

How long ago were they partners? Sorry.

A few years before you got here? That's
okay. Those two set a record for closing

the most cases in a single year. Take
your time.

They were quite the team.

Until they weren't.

It was a rough year for all of us. Every
parent hopes their kid will find

something that they're passionate about.

But you never think for a moment that it
might make your child a target.

Did Hanson ever mention anyone he was
concerned about?

All the time.

Jealous competitors, stalkers, every
other tech blogger.

I didn't agree with everything Anson
did, what Parent does.

But it's all in the right place.

Well, we're going to check Anson's
calendar and see if we can... Emmy just

called up. Preliminary autopsy on Anson
is finished.

His toxicology screen won't come back
for a day or two, so we can't be totally

sure he was poisoned.

Or how.

It could be inhaled, ingested, or
injected.

And I did find this.

An injection site.

That's possible, but not likely.

She always like this?

Yes. Based on how he died, my guess
would be a poison in the anthrax family.

The modified.

Okay, we need to know the makeup of the
poison so we can determine who might

have created it. Well, whoever made the
poison may not be the person who killed

Anson. Right, but they'll probably
remember who they sold it to. All due

respect, we've got to get this body to
my people as soon as possible.

Former Navy SEAL, Coast Guard, and we've
got Parker, SWAT team out of Ventura.

So you're still carrying your handcuff
key, huh?

Yeah, for, uh, good luck.

Because it wasn't good enough today.

So you have no idea how the guy you were
hired to protect was killed?

Believe me, I wish we did.

You don't know or you're not telling us?
You think we had something to do with

it? Do you know how hard it would be for
any of us to find a job now?

Mr. Pierce died on our watch.

What's more upsetting to you, his life
ending or your career?

Hey, I like Mr. Pierce.

But we weren't with him 24 -7. If we do
anything, we'd tell you.

And Boss was a very busy man. Looks like
almost every hour of his last week is

accounted for here on his schedule.

The only thing that bothers me is that
every meeting here is so detailed except

for this one, Orange County.

Two hours, no location, no name.

What's that about?

We don't know.

He had us drive him to an office
building downtown.

He asked us to wait in the car.

We're going to need that address.

Morgan, you got anything?

Not yet.

What about you?

None of those security guards confessed?

No, but there was a two -hour window
before Anson got on his plane where they

claimed to have no idea where he was.
Well, that's not nothing.

I'm heading back to the bureau. I'll
have my team look into the backgrounds

Anson's security team. As will we.

Okay. And please expedite the body
transfer.

Ronnie, I think you should reconsider.

Adam, it's not personal. All right, I
just think it's best for my team to

this investigation without interference.
Things will move a lot faster. Trust

me. Trust you. Really?

Where'd we get this flash drive?

Found it in Anson's jacket pocket. I had
it processed this morning. It's not

his. What do you mean?

Anson's first breakthrough in tests was
designing a higher capacity flash drive

his sophomore year at Taft High School.
His company still makes them today.

So why would he have a flash drive from
one of his competitors in his coat

pocket? He wouldn't. Let's see what's on
that drive.

What the hell happened?

The hard drive we found on Anson must
have had malware that breached our

firewall. I'm running every antivirus
program I can.

Keep trying till something works.
Someone wanted what this malware is

us to happen to Anson. Someone was able
to give a hard drive to Anson that will

close up the poison too.

Pull any and all CCTV on Anson's
whereabouts in Orange County before he

his plane to L .A. Whoever gave that
flash drive to Anson is our prime

Got it. I'll head to the field office
and get a tech team to do a sweep for

satellite video. Great. We can use all
the help we can get. Until we're back

online, there's nothing else we can do
here.

You two go with him.

So, do we need to go over the rules?

Rules? Let's just get in, get out.

Mind the FBI for any information we can
use on the case, and get back home.

Are you worried I'm going to embarrass
you? Not at all. I'm just saying let's

both be on our best behavior, okay?

I'll wait.

Ma 'am, I'm going to have to ask you to
empty your bag.

Got it.

Apple pie.

Agent Oliver?

Everyone, this is Detective Karadek from
the LAPD.

And his consultant?

Guillory. Nice to meet you all. All
right. Raina's one of our top profilers

was just about to take us through. Yeah,
great.

Okay. Now, based upon what we know about
Anson Pierce's murder and data from a

wide range of crimes like this, I
believe the killer was likely a single

male. Educated, but unemployed.

Someone in his orbit.

Likely a professional contact who had
the ability to get close.

Do you have something you want to add?

Uh... Just...

Yeah, that's definitely a possibility.

You got another one?

Well, I don't have any formal training
in profiling. We know.

Yeah,

of course you do.

Let's see. Based on my own data called
gut instinct, given the Anson's

polarizing views on technology, I think
it is possible

that the killer could be a shut -in who
hated Anson.

Um, a Luddite who disliked technology.

Somebody who was pissed off at what the
company was doing.

Right? Because this would feel like a
personal thing to me.

You think my profile's off?

Didn't I just explain that?

Tech team just found this.

Can you answer that image?

That must be the flash drive you found
in Anson's pocket.

Apply facial recognition and run it
through the system.

How long is that going to take?

I don't know.

Already found him.

Huh. That means he didn't.

Looks like he's unemployed and single.

Nice work, Reno. All right, let's bring
this guy in.

When did this happen?

Shortly after you slipped that flash
drive into his pocket. So?

Did you kill him?

Are you serious?

Yeah, I am. He's dead.

And you got real close.

I was just trying to get his attention.

Okay, he didn't understand how much we
had in common, how much I could help

I needed Anson to realize that his
cybersecurity infrastructure was being

spearheaded by maladroit morons. I
wanted to protect him from the White

They're ethical -minded super hackers
that are not to be trifled with. So you

want me to believe that you're a hacker
who tried to protect Anson from other

hackers by hacking him?

Not quite that simple, but close enough.
You know what else is not so simple?

The poison that killed Anson.

The good news is his body's landing at
our toxicology lab within the hour,

means we'll get to the bottom of what
toxin was used and who used it real

We'll keep you in holding until then.

Plenty of sunshine and blue skies on top
for you.

A little bit.

Don't shoot.

Verena, the profiler, and I are going to
be friends. Well, you know, Morgan, I

think the fact that Anthony's body just
got blown up might take precedence.

That's fair.

Guys, please, tell me we got a lead on
whoever attacked our coroner. CFI is

processing the scene. So far, nothing.
Not a single witness? Nothing?

And since bodies should have never come
here in the first place. No one could

have anticipated this would happen,
Ronnie. It's becoming painfully clear

some things never change. What's that
supposed to mean? It means stop being so

stubborn and admit you made the wrong
call. The wrong call about what? Staying

on this case. My team doesn't need
assistance.

It's causing too many problems.

We don't got to turn this into some kind
of contest.

Contest? We're doing our job, same as
you. Us, right?

Yeah. Do me a favor. Stay in your lane.
And you do me a favor.

Show us some respect in our house. You
don't live here anymore. Daphne, no.

is my partner you're talking to.

Choose your words carefully.

Sounds like a warning, detective.

I percept it.

Lieutenant, you don't step in here?

No.

Maybe we should all just get back to
work.

Oh, good idea. Let me just hit somebody
at the bureau to see if they can help

put Anson's body back together piece by
piece.

I don't know if I ever mentioned it to
you guys, but I was in labor for two

hours with my third baby before she
popped out.

There she was, brand new person in the
world. The point is, a lot can happen in

120 minutes, so instead of doing
whatever this is that you guys are

we circle back to that mystery meeting
that Anson had the day before he died.

Yeah, because poisoning Anson and
orchestrating an attack to destroy

feels like a lot for one person to pull
off. And Simon's been in holding all day

and couldn't have done it. You think our
killer was working with a partner? I

do. So maybe whoever Anson met in that
two -hour time window was the one who

poisoned him.

Okay, so are we compiling a list of
experts who could make a poison like the

that killed Anson? Do you really think I
don't already have a digital dossier

with multiple suspects waiting for me
back at the field office? Keeping things

from us is not going to help solve this
case. Oh, and you think sharing

confidential files with, I don't know, a
consultant will? Yes, it will. So tag

her in and let her show you what she can
do. You know, it's starting to feel

like when I left this place, you lost
your mind.

You know what, Ronnie?

I'll make you a deal.

You show us all your intel, and if we
come up empty, we'll back off the case.

What do you say?

Meet me in my office.

You come up short, you're out.

Look, I don't care who gets credit for
solving this case. I just want it

Don't let personal feelings get in the
way of figuring out who killed Anson. I

hear you, but I... What? What?

The FBI has information that we need to
see. Selena.

that Morgan needs to see. Now, how else
are we going to get our hands on it

unless I offered up something in return?
Fine.

I know your history.

If you have something to prove, you
better not let it get in the way of this

case. I will never let that happen.

But right now, we're just a distraction
for him, especially Morgan.

He sees her exactly the same way I used
to before I realized how valuable she

really is.

I know it's a big risk, but it's one I'm
willing to take.

Let's hope it pays off.

All right, Morgan.

Here's a handful of terabytes of
information, as if through.

Terabyte.

Of course.

Sure you want to do this?

Oh, yeah. Piece of cake.

What else can you tell her about the
intel before she dives in?

There are roughly a dozen toxicologists
on our radar for various reasons.

Our team is still in the process of
discovering which one might have had

to kill Lanson.

Hopefully I can help.

All right, have at it.

I think I've seen enough.

It's already morning. Maybe we should
get some rest.

You know, there is such a thing as too
much information.

I just wish I had something a little
more concrete.

Well, what about him?

You keep circling back to this guy over
and over again. Why?

Kenneth Sutton was a board -certified
medical toxicologist at California

Control for a decade. He quit three
years ago and went off the grid after

daughter died. Her name was Julie.

What happened to her?

She took her own life when
misinformation was spread about her on

platform. She was 24.

Okay, well, there's motive.

Yeah, and the FBI went and visited
Kenneth right after Anson's murder.

Did they?

Well, it certainly would have been nice
if they'd shared that information with

us. Yeah, and here's the weird thing.
According to their files, Kenneth only

left his apartment on Wednesdays to go
put flowers on his daughter's grave.

You mean no other contact with the
outside world? It doesn't look like it.

And Ronnie's team pulled these photos
from the surveillance cameras at the

Verdugo Hill Cemetery.

That's it. There's no other record of
him going anywhere on any other day.

Why would you wear gloves to put flowers
on a grave?

You wouldn't.

He's not wearing gloves at any of these
other cemetery visits.

Only this one.

And look at the date.

That's two days before Anson's murder. I
think he was wearing gloves to protect

himself from the poison that he hid in
the flowers.

Poison he put there so somebody else
could come and pick it up and kill Anson

with it.

I don't know how, but I think you did
it.

Let's go talk to Kenneth. Yeah.

Good morning.

Hey, how's everyone doing over there?

Uh, we're all good here.

Just trying to feed our little lady
before I do drop -off. Be right there.

Um, I bet you can imagine why I'm
calling.

How late are you going to be?

It's tough to say.

Oh, are you kidding me?

Are you sure everything's all right?

Yeah, yeah. Uh, just, um, I don't think
I can stay over again tonight.

That's okay. I should be home by, like,
dinner at the latest.

I can't clear my whole schedule.

Ludo. I know this is a lot, but it's
kind of what we both signed up for. No,

know. I know. You're right.

I got it.

Okay. All right. I'll see you tonight.

Mm -hmm.

It's Ronnie. Leave a message.

Hey, Ronnie.

We're pretty sure we know who made the
poison that killed Anson. A guy named

Kenneth Sutton, 75 Edenhurst, apartment
406. We're just getting there now.

Call me back.

Kenneth Sutton, Detective Adam Karadek,
LAPD. Need to ask you a couple questions

about the death of Anson Pierce.

I already spoke to the FBI.

Yeah, we know you did, but they didn't
ask about the gloves you were wearing

other day when you went to put flowers
on your daughter's grave.

We know why you wanted Anson dead. You
blamed him for your daughter's suicide.

Let's see what Kenneth's apartment has
to say.

Feels awful.

Did you know that deep fake video of
Julie was only 31 seconds long?

It took one bully less than a minute to
ruin her life with Anson's act.

Well, that's the world we live in now.

Well, please remind me to throw my 15
-year -old daughter's phone in the trash

when I get home. Looks like your profile
on the killer was right. A shut -in who

hated Anson.

Yeah, but I don't think I could have
predicted he was a butterfly.

A butterfly.

Yeah, everyone's got a different
organizing style.

Like ladybugs prefer to have lots of
storage to hide their mess.

Now bees, bees build their hives very
structured and efficient.

So the bee organizing style is much more
methodical.

Whereas crickets like to have things
very neat and orderly with just a couple

sentimental items front and center.

And what's a butterfly?

Butterflies like to have everything out
in the open. There's quick and easy

access to everything.

Much like Kenneth does, or did. Mm -hmm.
Now, I am a ladybug, and you, my

friend, you're a cricket.

Morgan. We can talk about it later. Or
never.

I'll probably squeeze it in somewhere.

So while it might look on the outside
like Kenneth is a pack rat, he's not.

Everything here was important to him.
Everything had purpose.

Let's just hope we can find something
here which leads us to whoever he was

working with.

No TV, no computer, no technology of any
kind, so he must have been partnering

with somebody who was tech -savvy,
someone like Simon.

Looks like the FBI just landed.

I'll handle this. It should be fun.

Tell me it's not true. A suspect is
dead? We tried to stop him. You

have tried anything.

I called you. You didn't answer. As I
predicted, Morgan came through. Now

even further away from solving this
case. Or are we one step closer to

this case? Oh, what, you got a
confession before you jumped?

Ronnie, come on, brother.

We can't keep working like this.

I can admit...

Maybe I was letting some of the past get
in the way of how I was handling the

case. That's on me.

But the bottom line is, this thing that
we're doing, it's not good for either

side. There shouldn't be any sides, man.

I walked right into that one, didn't I?

You know, I still know you pretty well.

And that's why I know you want to solve
this case just as badly as we do and for

all the right reasons.

Just like we used to do back in the day.

Hmm?

We're always the calm ones.

Apparently, I still am.

All right, man, look, let's just process
the scene, see if we can find anything

that leads us to Wilbur Kinnick's work
quick.

Hey, Morgan, Ronnie's team is pulling
security footage from Verdugo Hill

Cemetery to see who picked up that
poison.

Great.

Let's just hope whoever it was didn't
know there were security cameras or they

would have made sure we couldn't get a
good look at them. Yeah, here's hoping.

You miss it, don't you?

Being his partner.

It's okay. I'm not going to have hurt
feelings if you do.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I do miss the guy. I mean,
he was more than my partner. He was my

friend. So, you just don't like how it
ended?

We had a few bad seeds in the department
who wanted to see the two top

detectives go down.

Some evidence went missing from one of
our cases.

Pretty large sum of money from the crime
scene. I guess it looked like we were

on the take.

You don't want to talk about it. That's
okay.

It was an honest mistake, Ma.

The money was incorrectly logged into
the evidence file. One wrong digit, a

nine. It should have been a zero.

And it looked like we had stolen the
money.

Things got messy. Rumors started flying.
Ronnie saw an opportunity at the FBI,

and he took it.

Took it and ran. Left me to clear both
of our names, which I did.

Weathered the storm, but I definitely
got wet.

People around here didn't look at me the
same for a long time after that.

Even though you didn't do anything
wrong? Mm -hmm.

Ronnie, he was gone.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

What are you doing? What's your face
doing?

I'm pretty sure that's what my face
looks like when I've got something. Do

have something?

We thought Anson was in some kind of
altercation the day he died, right?

Yeah, what, you don't?

Well, I mean, if he didn't mention it to
his security team, the team that he

paid to keep him safe, then maybe these
marks on his body went from a fight.

You think he was in a different kind of
encounter?

One where he was a willing participant?

No, a two -hour mystery meeting. Sounds
like we need to talk to the person he

was meeting with in Orange County. Yeah,
I'm gonna get Ronnie's help on this.

Have him get some footage of the back
exit of the office building.

I think that Anson was just passing
through on his way to a more comfortable

spot for his meeting.

Oh, Adam and Morgan, welcome back.

Nice work to our partners at the LAPD
who helped to lead us to Aria Vale. She

checked into the Borzai Hotel in Orange
County the night before Anson's death.

What do we know about her?

Well, she runs a non -profit that tries
to regulate AI and online technology.

And she made no secret about her desire
to shut down Anson's company.

Yeah, we think she might have found
another way to shut him down. I have so

questions for this woman.

Well, so do I. Which is why I have a
team tracking her down as we speak.

Give me a second.

Hi.

It's Dad.

He just... Wait, Elliot?

Honey, slow down. What's going on? He
just collapsed.

What? Is he breathing?

You know what? I'm going to call 911,
okay?

No. No ambulance. It's okay. I'm fine.

He keeps saying no. What do you want us
to do? Just keep an eye on him, all

right? Everything's going to be okay.
I'll be right there.

Thanks.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I think I recognize that voice.

Is that the mother of my children?

What happened?

I got lightheaded and I fainted, but I'm
fine, really.

Okay, is Chloe down?

Yeah, she's asleep.

Where's Elliot? He's outside on the
porch.

Okay, can you give us a second?

Do you want to talk about it? Not
really, no.

Look, I was probably dehydrated and
didn't eat enough food, but I'm good

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry? None of this is your
fault.

I'm just having to do so much with the
kids, and you're really picking up the

slack around here, and I just feel
really bad. Yeah, because I want to.

When you and I split up, we agreed we're
going to remain a family no matter

what.

That's what I'm doing.

I know.

And I couldn't do this without you.

And I don't want to.

I feel the same.

Thanks.

I'm going to go check on Elliot.

Yeah, please do. I think he's a little
freaked out.

I know that the two of you remember
everything that ever happened, but if

can find a way to erase the memory of
his father face -planting on the kitchen

tile, I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry I missed it.

You need a blanket out here?

Oh, I'm okay.

That was pretty scary, huh?

You know what? Your dad is just fine.

But I'll have him go to the doctor
tomorrow, just to be safe.

They should probably order an MRI or an
echo.

I read that dizziness could be a sign of
a silent heart attack or a coronary

spasm that can lead to a myocardial
infarction.

The Internet's a dangerous place.

Apparently so is our kitchen.

You're worrying, I can tell.

It's okay.

I'm worried, too.

Sometimes my mind can take me to places
I don't want to go. Does that ever

happen to you?

It did today.

Thoughts are hard to control.

You know, especially when you've got a
brain like you and I do.

But we are in charge.

And the trick is to focus on the stuff
that you do want, not the stuff that you

don't.

I don't think I can.

It's not always easy.

I know.

gotta ask ourselves do we want to be
scared or do we want to notice all the

wonderful things that are happening
right around us like what like the fact

my son called me today because his dad
needed help and that made me so proud

like the fact that we're all here
tonight under one roof safe and sound

tonight you're all mine and i'm grateful
for that me too

Okay, okay, I can't breathe.

You can breathe fine.

If you couldn't breathe, he wouldn't be
able to talk.

Hanson felt that you were resisting the
inevitable evolution of humans and

technology together. He said, quote,
Aria Vell fears the inevitable and hates

freedom.

Look, we met up a few times to try to
find common ground.

And? We both decided that we were
wasting each other's time.

Here it comes.

Here comes what?

One word.

You familiar with the Gatikuros?

The ancient sculpture?

Well, people thought it was.

Until a famous art scholar by the name
of Pierre Paul took one look at it and

uttered one word.

Fake. No proof, just his intuition.

Old Pierre had the ability to identify
what was real and what wasn't based on a

gut feeling.

Okay. I can do it too.

You know what word comes to mind when I
see you?

Liar.

Now you're acting surprised.

It never gets old.

I ain't buying that either.

So what do you say? You ready to start
telling me the truth?

During one of our meetings, things got
heated.

That's why he got the bruises on his
neck and wrists.

Yes.

A collar and wrist restraints.

You know, a guy dies from poison just
hours after you saw him. I didn't poison

him.

Can you explain this?

That's from my earring.

It poked him, and we laughed about it.

Anything else you want to tell me?

Yeah.

I think I need a lawyer.

Based on Soul Tower triangulation,
neither Simon nor Aria came anywhere

Julia's grave in the days leading up to
Anson's murder.

So neither of them are the person in
this photo retrieving the poison?

You know, unless maybe they pulled that
trick that we came across with our

suspect in the pawn shop homicide case.
He left his cell at home to shore up his

alibi. You remember that one? Oh, you
mean Abe's Smoke Shop murder on Crenshaw

Boulevard? No, I'm fairly certain it was
Mr. B's pawn on Centinella. You want to

make this interesting? What are we
making interesting?

Welcome back.

Is Ludo okay?

Yes, thank you. Where are we? I'm still
trying to connect Aria or Simon to

Kenneth. Yeah, but I think it may be
time to open it up to other suspects.

I just don't buy that Kenneth didn't
have more contact with whoever he was

working with. Yeah, I agree, but there's
no evidence that he met with anyone

else. I mean, we checked his friends,
his family, his colleagues, but Kenneth

was a butterfly.

A what?

His organizing style. Everything in his
place had purpose.

See these books right here?

I mean, they look completely untouched.
Hard copy still wrapped in plastic.

Louisa May Alcott.

Familiar? Enough to know one of her most
famous quotes.

It takes two flints to make a fire.

Yeah, I think those books belong to
Kenneth's daughter.

Parker had a flint hanging on his
keychain, most likely a gift from Julie.

there is more than just a spark between
him and our Louisa May Alcott

enthusiast. I think Julie and Parker
were in a relationship when she died.

so you're saying Kenneth and Parker
hatched a plan to kill Anson in

for Julie's death. Makes perfect sense.
Parker had all the right credentials to

work his way onto Anson's security
detail. And we know Kenneth made the

Kenneth had dog collars in his
apartment, but no dog.

I bet the poison was placed in the dog
collar and hidden inside the flowers

Kenneth left at Julie's grave.

Parker must have picked up the flowers
and put the collar on Anson's dog, which

made contact with his skin on the
flight.

Time for him to tell us.

Teradek, we got a big problem. How big?

My apprehension team just made it to
Parker's hotel.

He must have seen us coming because he's
long gone. Can you do some sort of

satellite facial tracking or something?
Yeah, already in the works. Queen 2.

Our problem's about to get a whole lot
bigger if he's heading back to the

Airport. And since Jed is still there,
he could be making a run for it.

We'll tag in TSA to stop him. Of course,
sir. Daphne, I need you here.

Now. Got it.

No communication with air traffic
control.

Understand? Huh.

Just like old times.

And new times.

Let's just hope this plan works.

Let's go. Let's go.

How long until we're in the air?

Five minutes or so.

Daphne, how are we looking? We're doing
our best.

Simon's a little frazzled. This is
incredibly challenging.

Keep trying. We're running out of time.
Yeah, I can see that.

What did you do? Nothing. Nothing, I
swear. What? Why did that happen? I

know. I don't know. Everything just shut
down.

Freeze! Hold it!

LAPD! FBI!

Drop it! Drop the weapon now!

Put the weapon down!

Parker, put the gun on the ground.

Do it! Now!

Unless you want to meet Kenneth on the
other side.

Is it moving?

Yeah.

Couple.

All right, move.

First I'm packing to the motherboard of
an airplane.

First and last.

Pretty nice view, right?

Oh, I've seen better.

Souvenir.

You know, I almost took one of these
earlier.

Almost.

Thanks.

I'm sure you saw the press release from
Anson's mother. I did.

Wow. Looks like she's going to lobby to
regulate all of her son's platforms.

Hopefully there's none of the tragedy
like Julie's in the future. I'm into

I'm sorry, Adam.

Probably should have said that a while
ago, but it turns out I'm even more

stubborn than you are.

Yeah, man, I saw an exit and I took it.

And I left you to clean up the mess for
both of us, which you did.

But in many ways, you're the reason I'm
here.

Yeah, you would have still made it on
your own, even without my help.

Yeah, I probably would have.

But I still owe you one.

No, you do not. I do.

Which is why I'd like to put in a word
for you with the special agent in

So?

What do you say?

I need to tell you something.

Brownie offered me a job. He wants to
partner with me again.

Wow.

What'd you say?

I said no.

Okay. When I worked at the DMV and a big
rig driver named Rufus suggested that I

be a pretty decent long hauler, I at
least slept on it before I told him

absolutely not. I don't need to sleep on
it. This is where I want to be.

And I have a new partner now.

What did you just say? You heard me.

I mean, plus you saw the FBI, Morgan. I
mean, the gadgets, the tech, the bells,

the whistles. It would make our job way
too easy, wouldn't it?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, how are we going to,
you know, take all the credit and brag

about everything if the computers are
doing all the work? That's what I'm

saying. All right, well, then I guess
I'll see you tomorrow, partner. I'll be

here.

This seems like a bad idea. I don't
think you have enough information to

determine that. Hey, hey, no peeking.
I'm not, I'm not.

Okay, right?

Take it off.

Ta -da. Oh, I thought I smelled tacos.

Mom even got those nachos with the
disgusting cheese you like.

It's called queso Oaxaca.

She's letting us eat on the couch and
we're watching 2001?

A space odyssey? With all of us?

If the kids can get through the monkey
part.

It's not a documentary, is it? Oh, God
forbid. He learned something.

Thank you.

You got it.

We're all so busy.

We gotta remember to slow down and
appreciate each other.

I'm glad you're okay, Dad.

Hey, me too, buddy.

Can I press Y?

Go on up.

Oh, gross. It's a fork or something.
Seriously, who raised you? I had nothing

do with it. Don't look at me. That is
kind of gross, buddy, here.

Oh, my God. What have I gotten myself
into?

So good, right?
