Pizza Plumber, my hero. Thank you for coming.

Thanks for calling.

On a Sunday, no less.

Leaky pipes don't take weekends off. Why should I? This one didn't leak. It

nearly exploded. I managed to shut off the valve, but I would love to get it

fixed before my husband gets home. He tries to fix it himself.

Emphasis on the try.

Yeah, we get that a lot. The bathroom's straight down on the left.

Excuse me! Did I not say no gaming until your rooms are clean?

It's all done, ma 'am.

Sorry it took so long.

Finally got her all fixed.

Ma 'am, sink's working as good as new.

You want to come check it out?

Ma 'am?

What the hell?

I cannot stress enough, Ms. Hines, if this MTAC upgrade doesn't go perfectly,

heads will roll, and I don't mean mine. And I get your meaning, sir, I do.

Your Multiple Threat Alert Center is our most vital fusion hub, monitoring

threats against our Navy and our Marines. I know what MTAC does, and

we're working hard to make sure everything goes without a hitch.

Well, I'm sure whoever last updated EmTech back in the 90s worked hard, too.

that hasn't stopped hackers from exploiting our weaknesses.

And apparently that was due to a delay in the firewall reloading, and we are

working hard to prevent that, too. Look, I hate to be such a hard -ass, but

since this upgrade date was potentially leaked, we can't be too careful. Which

is precisely why we're no longer doing that date and doing the upgrade tonight

instead. And nobody else knows about this.

It's 1 a .m. on a Sunday. Hardly anyone knows we're here, much less upgrading

our entire system.

And where is everyone again?

Most of the agents are at a seminar in Philly this weekend, so my team and I,

have pretty much the entire building to ourselves.

Hey, Case, am I too late?

No. No, you are here just on time to... Help out? I left the seminar early.

You should need immoral support.

Yeah. But I don't want to interrupt. No, you're not. Special Agent Parker, this

is David Barbado, DOD.

Deputy Chief of Cybersecurity. Oh, sorry.

Parker, glad you're here to help.

What? No.

No, Kate, he doesn't need my help, that's for sure. Between her and her

team, M -Tech couldn't be in better hands. That's exactly what we're

on, so I will leave you to it then, Miss Pine. And just remember, your country

is counting on you, too.

So best of luck.

Barbado out.

Barbado out?

Dude, I was this close to convincing him that no one else knew about this. No

one else does.

Except me.

You doing all right?

Yeah. For someone whose professional future hangs in the balance, I'm doing

great.

I'm afraid your fancy pastries aren't going to help.

Yeah? How about some good old -fashioned donuts?

A little emergency sugar rush couldn't hurt. No, no, no. Please do not say

emergency. No, not tonight.

You heard what Mr.

DOD Cybersecurity said.

But you heard what I said. Look, I know that rebooting our whole entire system

here is a big job, but you and your tech trolls are up to it. Yeah, my tech

trolls don't, I wish.

What, they're not?

Well, for security purposes, DOD assigned me cybertax from four separate

agencies. All very highly qualified, but man, after a week together, you know,

they really lack enthusiasm.

Maybe they could use a sugar rush.

Well, they're in my lab by all means, please.

Oh, and by the way, don't call them tech trolls. They're also super sensitive.

Wow.

I don't think I've ever seen a dozen disappear that fast.

Sorry, aces.

No one ever brings a donut.

Like Louis Blattimer or Granville Woods, our contributions too often go

unappreciated. Don't mind Felix, or you'll spend days looking up obscure

references. There's so many idiots out there. Where do these people come from?

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. Make sure everybody's on the same page. I

Casey's excited.

Oh, us too, Agent Parker.

Definitely.

I'd say Casey's even more than excited. She's downright... What is the word? It

kind of means... Effusive. That's it. Yes, she's effusive. That's a great word

for it.

Bossy's a better one.

Really, Daryl?

Sorry, no filter, this guy.

Not to mention issues with assertive women. You know what I'm saying, Casey.

Just trust that we know what we're doing and just let us do it.

Idiot.

Not Casey, this idiot.

Would it help to know that Casey is getting tremendous pressure from above?

to mention the pressure she already puts on herself.

Really?

Sorry to hear that. No pressure, no diamonds.

How about Carlisle?

philosopher here's the thing casey just like the rest of us she's just trying to

do her best the best way she knows how donut breaks over time to hit your

stations people uh i'm in wait case

As you know, the upgrade will shut down not only MTAC, but all computers,

landlines, and security cameras for two hours, during which time we will monitor

progress from our workstations and communicate via headset as the system

reboots. Once again, thank you in advance for your immeasurable

NCIS, to the security of the nation, and to the world.

I didn't miss it. I didn't miss it.

Kate.

Yes. Did I miss it?

Timing's perfect, Jimmy. Okay.

I totally forgot the case you moved the system reboot to tonight.

And I don't recall telling you.

So what, you ran here?

Why are you so sweaty?

Oh, gosh, there's no time for that now. It is time to light this candle in T

-minus five, four, three, two, and one.

No turning back now.

No, no, you got this, Kate.

Just think of it as one big smartphone reboot.

Except the security of the entire Western world does not rely on us

our phones. Can you go breathe somewhere else? Yeah.

Again, Jimmy, did you run here?

Oh, no, no, no. I just come in sometimes on Sunday nights, catch up on

paperwork, you know, when I can't sleep, like tonight.

It's a good thing, too, because otherwise I would have missed all of

So, the sweat?

What sweat? Oh, the sweat that's on me right now?

Well, it's the AC.

It's on an autopsy. It's on the fritz again, you know, so we got a hot autopsy

in our hands. That sounds like that's made up. That's not made up, though.

I am overdue for a check -in. Okay, here we go.

And we have liftoff, people. Let's get some status reports.

How's our PowerShell, Harold?

Sorry, one second.

PowerShell script is good, Casey.

Great. Nadine, our ISO signature?

ISO signature is humming, buffers are clean, catches are happy.

Love it. How about MD5, Felix?

MD5 is pristine. No bad blocks.

We are rebooting like a dream.

Nice. Okay, how about our processor cores, Daryl?

Talk to me, Daryl. Are the PCs breathing or screaming?

Daryl?

Daryl, where are you?

Daryl, come in.

Talk to me, Daryl.

Seven, eight, nine.

Come on, Daryl. Come on, breathe.

Breathe. All right, Jimmy.

Jimmy.

It's okay. You tried.

Call it.

I just don't get it.

I mean, he was alive and well on the Amtrak screen, what, ten minutes ago?

Could he have just tripped and hit his head on the way down?

I mean, yeah, of course. It's possible.

What about a seizure, an aneurysm? I don't know. I got to get him down to

autopsy before I can... Hold on, hold on.

Let's not move him yet.

Just in case, you know?

You're thinking maybe... I don't know what I think.

But until we can process the room for clues, no one comes in or out.

You guys find Daryl?

Is he okay?

But how did he fall? And did he just fall? What happened? Jimmy is giving him

prelim in autopsy to figure that out.

Okay, well, of all the things I worry about going wrong, Daryl dropping dead

not one of them. All right.

Considering the circumstance, do you think maybe we call off the upgrade?

I would love to, but it is too late. Doing so would damage files, destroy

employee records, damage data history. Okay, we keep it going. We'll process

your office as soon as it's done.

I'll have to reshuffle the tech trolls to get it right.

What do I even tell them?

You don't. Not yet. I mean, if they know that Daryl is dead, good luck getting

them to focus again.

Well, what am I supposed to say?

Anything, besides the truth.

Food poisoning?

It was those donuts, wasn't it? I feel crazy and I only had one.

You had two.

Sorry. Well, Daryl had four, Phil. You know, it wasn't the donuts, guys. Daryl

thinks he had some bad sushi at lunch. He is resting in autopsy now.

Autopsy? Where our Dr. Palmer is taking great care of him.

He's going to be just fine. But in the meantime, we need to reshuffle some

responsibilities.

Okay. Well, then.

Obviously. You're going to want me to take over Daryl's place, where I should

have been from the beginning.

Well, actually, we're going to put Nadine on power chords.

Oh, we're playing favorites.

What? No, I need you on MD5, Felix, so I can take over ISO signature for Nadine,

who's going to take over for Daryl. No favorites here. Actually, I would be

better on MD5 if Felix wants to take over.

PowerShell. I wouldn't touch your PowerShell with the spear of Caculli. I

minored in Irish mythology, Felix. I know what that means. Do you? Yes, and

Cuculon. No, no, no. Yes, it is Cuculon.

Caculli. Caculli.

People, enough, please.

Can we just play nice for the sake of the upgrade?

Nadine, enjoy PCs.

Thank you. All right.

I'm sorry. He's just... Sorry.

Boys. Not the word that I had in mind.

Hey, is this your laptop or Daryl's sitting here?

Yes, that's mine.

Thanks.

Casey, got a minute?

Yes.

What's the word?

Parker, you were supposed to say an MTAC.

MTAC is fine. Someone else is not.

Now, mind you, I can't run any x -rays with our computers down, but Daryl's

sure feels broken to me, along with a skull fracture.

Oh, gosh, all this just from a fall?

Not just.

No. The bruising that emerged across the jawline here suggests he was struck

pretty hard before his head hit the floor. Struck? By who?

One of his fellow trolls, maybe.

Oh, come on. They may be a bunch of socially awkward malcontents, but, you

come to think of it.

It was either them or someone else in the building.

Security? Cleaning staff?

No, that base police locked down the Navy Yard.

Someone just moved my yoga mat down at Ducky's NPR.

How could you possibly know that? Because it came with this app. It tells

location of my mat, temperatures, moisture levels.

Moisture levels?

Do you want anyone else sweating on your yoga mat? I do not want that, no. No,

more importantly, who moved it?

Maybe the same person that did that.

There's only one way to find out. You stick with Casey. I'll be back.

Jimmy, I said stick with Casey.

She's locked safely in M -TAC. You need someone watching your back.

I mean, you guys always travel in pairs, right? So I thought, okay, okay, fine.

You hear that?

That could be Henry.

The ghost? Please, not now.

Oh, God!

Tommy!

Agent Parker, Jimmy, you scared me.

I think there's three of us. What are you doing down here?

I'm making my rounds.

Heard a noise coming from duckies. I thought it might just be Henry.

Again with Henry.

It was just you guys.

My heart, all me.

That wasn't Henry. All right, stay here, Tom.

Do you want my... No.

I knew I should have gone to a hotel.

Sam?

I guess I should have called, huh?

Damn, Hannah, what the heck?

It's good to see you too, Casey.

Oh, gosh.

Hey, what brings you here? My worst -kept secret MTAC upgrade, or do you

like, magically appear whenever somebody mysteriously dies?

No magic, as I was just telling the fellas I had a long layover on my way to

visit a buddy in Dubai, and I figured I'd catch a few winks on Ducky's NPR

couch. I just wish we'd known.

Just because Victoria, she's going to be so disappointed to know that you were

in town.

You didn't at least call Jimmy.

It's a last -minute flight delay.

I'll be sure to call Crown Victor. It's the same.

We're all happy to see you, Sam, but does anybody mind if we get back to

our tech troll killer?

Well, I don't mind foregoing my couch time to help out a few days. Hey, more

merrier. All right.

In case you'll stick with the reboot, Sam and I will search a building for any

additional workers and then question them along with the tech trolls.

Man, what a plan.

Hold on.

Where am I in that plan?

I assume you had autopsy stuff.

Without computer access, I can't really do much down there. But there are three

remaining tech trolls, so... You know, you should have seen them in Hawaii in

that dungeon they had us in, Parker.

I mean, man's got skills.

I'd never say you didn't.

Jimmy makes it three on three, so let's see what everyone knows.

What about not scaring them?

Kind of told everybody that Daryl had food poisoning.

Uh, okay, then let's go with that. Daryl is not dead. He's just sick.

Okay, and to be clear, we're not interrogating them? We're just, what,

them out?

Friendly chat.

And if it wasn't premeditated, then a killer might just give it up easy.

We'll divvy him up, keep it friendly, compare notes afterwards.

Sam, hey.

Thanks for having my back there.

You think, uh, Victoria will forgive me for not calling, Jimmy?

Okay, okay, you...

Man, you could text a guy. Come on.

I know you didn't bake the donuts, but you did bring them. And they didn't give

Daryl food poisoning, Nadine, I can promise you.

So he's okay.

You seem to care a lot about him.

I care if he's got something I might catch. I practically bleached this

after he used it.

So you didn't know Daryl well.

Before he got sick, I mean, you don't know Daryl well?

No, I keep things professional with my coworkers, which is not that hard with

Daryl. He goes heavy on the body spray.

I have yet to give Daryl enough thought to form an opinion either way. Neither

affinity nor contempt.

So, safe to say you didn't have any shared interests, career goals?

With Daryl?

Please.

Being capable of having a like -minded discourse from...

wave -particle duality to loop quantum gravity, the man would be completely out

of his depth. Sure, yeah.

I mean, who wouldn't be? I mean, let's be honest, that'd be like me trying to

explain to you atalysis or adipocere or any other facet of forensic taphonomy.

Sure.

Kinda, yeah.

I'm Special Agent Sam Hanna.

It's so nice to meet you, Sam, and I cannot tell you how sorry I am.

Well, lay it on me.

Sorry about what?

About Daryl getting sick.

I know he seems preoccupied with his online debates, but his job means as

to him as it does to me.

How much does it mean to you?

Positions like this, they don't grow on trees.

Competition is fierce.

Though I appreciate Casey's faith in me, I would much rather be monitoring the

processor cores from home.

With Bradley Cooper.

Wait,

I'm sorry. The actor?

Oh, my God, he's beautiful. Do you want to see a picture?

Sure.

Oh, my beautiful baby, am I right?

Yep, that's one handsome spider.

Um, but again, back to Daryl.

Daryl is no different than Harold or Felix. They seem like competitive

schoolboys, but it's just a mask for their insecurity.

So, Felix, was there any part of you that wanted Daryl's job?

Of course I wanted Daryl's job. I'm infinitely more qualified.

Did you want it bad enough to fight him for it?

Fight him? What are we, troglodytes?

So you know Daryl well, then?

Well enough.

We met back in college.

At Penn.

You at Penn?

Aggressive.

What am I saying?

Cornell.

Sorry. Sorry. We went to Cornell together.

You forgot where you went to college?

No.

It's just my lifelong bitterness at not being accepted by Penn.

That, well, never not thing.

So, Cornell.

Yeah. Yeah, Cornell.

I loved it. Yeah, it was great.

And it's gorgeous!

Because Cornell didn't.

Ithaca, where there's a lot of, um... Gorgeous.

Gorgeous.

Hey. When the crew were here before you came in for overnight...

What'd you find out?

I checked the gate log, Agent Parker.

No one's exited the Navy Yard since 0102.

Right after the reboot started.

Lastly was a member of the custodial staff.

Vito Gironda?

Lucky Vito. I drew the short straw on the overnight shift.

At least the overtime's nice.

Yeah, I hear that.

All right, thanks for your time, Tommy. Thanks, Petty Officer.

Uh, Tommy, um, this Vito?

You happen to have his number handy?

Oh, yeah. Must have it here somewhere.

Do you don't mind me asking, is this about those computer geeks?

What makes you think that?

Not for nothing, but I was mopping near that sub -basement they work in after

Vito went home, and I don't know, I heard a whole lot of bickering, you

Here it is, bickering.

Yeah, about what, I can't say, but Casey deserves a better crew than that.

That's the wife. I got to take this.

If I can be of any help, just follow. All right.

Hey. How you doing?

Hate to say it, but neither Harold nor Felix gave us much.

Other than a pair of matching headaches.

Same with Nadine. All I got was a spider named Bradley Cooper, and apparently

Daryl wore too much body spray.

Man, they could talk.

And argue, according to Tommy.

They definitely have issues.

What are they, killers?

I don't know. Even if they were capable of killing, why would they choose

tonight? Of all nights to do it.

That's a good question. While you two ponder that, I have Casey's laptop to

double vet their clearance docs.

Couldn't hurt.

I'll check on Casey and call this other custodian who left early.

And I forget, Jimmy, do you have a couch in your lap?

It's got an autopsy table.

That's close enough.

He does wear too much body spray.

How are the kids, Sam?

Oh, they're great.

Aiden made captain, as you know, and Cameron's still on a mission to save

democracy. Man, they do grow up fast.

You seem to be growing, too.

You been working out?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can tell.

Hell, yeah. Look at Jimmy.

Getting buff for the ladies. I don't know about that.

The hell is that?

That's a weight vest.

Yeah. 30 pounds.

I can see that. Why?

You know, on nights that I can't sleep, I come here and I run the steps. You

know, about an hour solid, up and down every stairwell.

Again, why?

Sam, you ever feel like you get knocked down in life so much that you're not

sure you can get back up again?

No, never.

Sam, come on. I'm trying to open up to you here. Okay, Jimmy, of course.

It's a part of life, Jimmy. Of course I do.

What's got you down?

I've been thinking ever since I lost Brina, and then, of course, Jess and I

broke up, and now my daughter is 14 going on 40.

Man, I feel like it's me that needs a reboot.

Or a goal.

But like... Like a big one.

Okay. What do you have in mind?

Kilimanjaro.

Kilimanjaro?

Damn, Jimmy.

Yeah, and around here, Sam, I feel like I've become a house cat, you know? I

don't want to be a house cat. I want to be a... A bobcat.

You climb Kilimanjaro, you'll be a damn mountain lion.

Good for you, Jimmy.

I love the idea.

I bet everyone else does, too.

Everyone else? Yeah, yeah.

Absolutely. Oh, hey, look at this.

Daryl went to Penn about the same time Brina did. I wonder if they knew each

other. Penn? Yeah.

Harold said they went to Cornell together.

I knew that was weird. He even corrected himself after saying Penn first.

Well, let's look up Harold.

Cornell, like you said.

Why would he lie about going there with Daryl?

How about we go ask him?

I never understand lying.

What was it Mark Twain said?

Just tell the truth and you don't have to remember anything.

Okay, fine, I lied.

What?

No one in the building loves my Kilimanjaro plan.

Because... I haven't told anyone yet.

So no one else knows?

Then why not?

That can't be good.

Not good at all.

No!

Oh,

Billings, uh, generators should keep the essential lights on for at least the

next few hours.

Along with the reboot, thank God.

Reboot's drinking up a lot more battery than what's left of our lives, so I

wouldn't go celebrating just yet. All I was trying to do was plan a nice little

quiet evening EmTech upgrade where nothing could possibly go wrong, and

enough, everything's gone wrong. None of which is a coincidence. First one of

your tech trolls gets whacked, and now a sudden power outage? And all I was

worried about was hackers.

Well, keep worrying. I got a feeling who's ever behind this is just getting

started. Where are you going?

To find out who.

Wait.

Do you smell smoke?

You have got to be kidding me.

Hello? Anyone?

No boss.

Parker! Hello?

Yeah, me either.

Casey?

Sam, what are the odds that this is just a random blackout?

I'd say slim and none.

Which means we've got to get the hell out of here.

Okay, there is a fireman's key in one of those in -case -of -emergency boxes.

It's on the third floor.

Well, we just have to get to it. Yeah.

Well, the design of that hatch did not have me in mind.

Oh, I... I don't know, Sam. He could probably fit through there.

No, no, no.

You're going to do it.

Me? What do you mean, me?

Why haven't you told anyone about Kilimanjaro?

I don't know. I guess it just hasn't come up yet.

I don't know about that.

Maybe I'm not ready to share my workout plans with everyone.

Would you stop? I know you.

All right? You're probably more worried about changing your mind, chickening

out.

I'm not chickening out, all right? I just don't want to get everyone's hopes

you know? If there's no expectations, there's no letting anyone down.

Like yourself?

Okay, Sam, but... There are no buts.

You start telling people, Jimmy.

Don't give yourself an hour. Throw your hat over that wall.

This is your Kilimanjaro moment. See that? That's Kilimanjaro. Okay, all

fine, fine, Sam.

I'll tell everyone, all right? Yeah.

Just give me a boost here.

I'm trying. You're not listening. No, I mean like a physical boost. If you're a

strong person, I can even get that. All right, yeah.

Come on.

All right.

You ready?

One, two, three.

Come on, come on, push.

It's really heavy. You're heavy.

Are you still wearing that damn vest?

I'm still wearing that damn vest, yeah. Come on, come on.

There you go.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on. Attaboy.

All right.

Uh, that third floor's a little higher than I thought, but, uh, I'll give it a

try. There's no try, Jimmy. Just do it.

How's that for a boost?

Come on.

Attaboy. Come on, Jimmy.

You got this, Jim.

Ooh, found the smoky culprit.

What was it?

Power supply to the cooling system. Circa 1997 from the looks of it.

Blackout must have fried the motor.

You got a replacement?

With the way this night has gone, what do you think?

Hang in there, Jimmy. You got it.

Come on, Jimmy.

Atta boy.

Come on, Jimmy.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm not sure I can reach the door. I mean, there's nothing left to grab onto

here. Just grab it, Jimmy. Go for it.

Sam,

I'm not so sure about my grip.

You know what? Maybe you're right.

Climbing's hard. Just forget it.

Maybe don't tell anyone about Kilimanjaro either. Just forget it.

Let's stay in the elevator. Come on back down.

That's my man. There you go.

Attaboy. You got this.

Come on. Come on, Jimmy.

There you go.

Come on.

There you go, Jimmy.

Now get up. Get up there. You can get it.

Chuck the gym.

Come on, Jimmy.

Easy.

Here we go. The box.

Jackpot. All right.

Okay. I can do an elevator shaft.

I can do Kilimanjaro.

I won't have to do in the dark.

All right. Let's see.

All right. So, key.

I'm guessing these are like skeleton keys, right?

All right.

All right. Sam, it's me, Jimmy. Don't shoot, okay?

Hey, Sam.

Found the key and it worked.

Way to go, mountain lion.

Way to go.

Okay.

Let's go find Parker.

Yeah.

So which is it, Cornell or Penn?

I'm sorry, what are you asking me?

No more apologies, Harold.

Daryl's background document said Penn. Wade, you said you met him before

remembering you both went to Cornell.

Okay, again, I'm so sorry, but... Hey.

If you say sorry one more time, I'm going to drive you up to Ithaca and

you in one of those gorges.

Okay, look, I'm... Hey.

Okay, fine.

You got me.

My name isn't Harold, it's Frank.

And I got kicked out of Penn after they caught me hacking into their mainframe

to change my final grade.

That's quite a confession, but why the identity change?

Like I told Sam, these jobs really don't.

grow on trees there's no way i was getting hired after that so i had to

harold from cornell just to get interviews okay so

that's one big lie explained any others look

about daryl daryl now why is he still sick am i in

trouble How's it looking?

It's looking like Harold from Cornell is actually Frank from Penn, but neither

of them seem like killers.

And I have no idea what that means, but there's no time to ask either.

Stay put.

We were wrong about the PSU. With about 25 minutes left, the server is starting

to overheat. We need an antique shop to replace that old thing.

Antique computer shop at that.

Hold on, hold on. What about old M -TAC?

Old M -TAC?

Our M -TAC is old M -TAC. No, Vance once showed me these old NIS M -TAC parts at

the evidence locker, way in the back.

Old M -TAC parts, let's go.

Okay, we've got about 24 minutes left. Hey, where's my laptop?

Oh, I left it in the autopsy. I'll have to go get it.

Okay.

Are they gone?

Yes, Harold, and we've got a meltdown to prepare for.

All right, I'll meet you in M -TAC.

See a lot of boxes.

None labeled M -Tech.

Bingo. Think they were back here.

Damn. Look at that piece.

Now, believe it or not, these were once considered mini -computers.

Made by Wang?

Is that real?

It was before they went bankrupt.

And they're namely Wang, no wonder.

It's a one of these Wangs and a fan.

You said Vance showed you all this, huh?

I haven't seen you since the funeral.

How's everybody doing with that?

You know, losing them.

I don't know.

Doesn't seem real. A lot of us are still in denial.

Yeah, me too.

Tell you what.

We'll replace old M -TAC with new M -TAC.

The people?

Like Vance?

Now we're replacing that.

Not a chance.

They keep me thinking about where I'm headed.

I've been waiting to make a move for a while now.

I haven't been able to settle on a direction quite yet.

I know the feeling.

The dreaded waiting place.

The most useless place, Dr. Seuss.

Oh, the places you'll go.

I love that book.

I may have to read it again.

I'm done waiting.

Thank you, Parker.

No worries.

Hello.

Huh? You got it?

Well, it's old and worn out as the other one, but... Let's see if it works.

Copy that.

Let's go.

Okay, where's that laptop?

Ah, hey.

There you are.

Oh!

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

How we doing under there, kids?

We? Who's we?

How are you doing?

You think that fan's going to work?

Well, it depends.

I got it running.

Check the gauge.

Ah, there he is, finally.

Looks like the temperature's going down. Ah, yeah, but it's working. Thank you,

guys. Well, it's working for now, at least.

Just a few minutes left, and you're going to jinx us now?

I think it's fair to say your reboot is way past being jinxed. You can say that

again. This is Vito saying that Tommy wasn't even scheduled to work tonight.

Vito? The janitor who went home early. According to this, Tommy is who insisted

Vito go home before 1.

Before the upgrade started.

Meaning what?

Well, let's go ask him.

And let Jimmy know in case he runs into Tommy before we do.

Where is Jimmy anyway?

Well, he went to go get my laptop, but he should be back by now.

Tommy, what are you doing?

Don't get up, Jimmy, please.

Which one is it? Which one?

What's going on? The wire, Jimmy. Which wire patches me into the reboot?

The reboot? That's not exactly... The mainframe! Whatever the hell that is! He

told me I have to patch into the reboot on the mainframe. Which wire is it?

The blue one, the ethernet. That's going to get you to the mainframe.

Tell me, what is going on?

I can't explain it right now, Jimmy. I'm sorry.

Maybe you tell me what you're trying to do and maybe I can help.

No, no, no. Stay back, Jimmy!

Please, please.

I have to do this.

Please, Jimmy, please.

Do what, Tommy? Come on. Just stop asking so many questions. I can't

until it's done.

Until what's done?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

What are you doing, Tommy?

Don't make me use this, Parker, please. Just stay back.

Just stay over there, okay?

Is this what you meant about helping, like I'm guessing you helped Daryl?

That was an accident, I swear.

I couldn't let him stop me.

Why not, Tommy?

Stop you from what? Don't come any closer.

I got no time to explain.

Come on, come on, come on.

Jesus, please.

Oh, come on, come on, come on.

Please?

Yes!

Why, why?

Let me go. Damn, Lion.

Let me go, please.

I'm sorry, Jimmy.

He's going to kill my family.

Your family?

Who? Tommy.

A guy wore a mask, said he'd kill them all if I didn't do it.

Do what? What is that thing?

He wanted me to plug it into Casey's laptop during the upgrade.

I tried as soon as it started, but that poor computer kid got in my way. I'm so

sorry. No, no, no, no, no.

Stay still, Tommy.

He's got my family.

Please.

He's got my family!

I got you.

Clear.

Hey, are they still here? No. The guy took my phone and left a while ago.

Oh, thank God you guys got here.

Everybody's okay. Just breathe, okay?

Everybody's okay now. What about Daddy? Is that okay?

I'm here, you guys.

Daddy's here.

Oh, Tommy.

Come here, come here, come here, come here.

Hey,

we're going to need everybody to step outside so our medics can check you out.

No, we're okay.

Guys, you should go out there, get checked out, okay?

It's okay, it's okay.

You guys, we'll get checked out, okay?

You guys, I'll be right out, okay?

Hey, I love you.

Thank

you, thank

you guys. Thank you, guys. Thank you.

It's your turn, Tommy.

Talk to us.

I didn't mean to kill that kid.

He tried to stop me from getting that laptop, and I just... I pulled my elbow

back, caught him on the chin, and then they landed wrong.

You didn't think to alert an agent or two?

The guy said that if I told anyone, they'd be dead.

That if I didn't plant the device, they'd be dead.

I'm sorry. I panicked.

Well, you seemed calm enough when Jimmy and I found you.

Well, I wasn't.

I was desperate.

And as time was getting closer, I killed the powers that I...

I'm sorry.

For Jimmy.

For that poor kid.

The whole thing.

I'm just... I'm so sorry.

Considering what he did to Daryl, I guess I got off easy.

Tommy sent an apology for that, too.

Poor guy.

Poor Daryl. Poor everybody.

No winners on this one.

Well, Casey, maybe?

True enough.

Yeah, despite it all, Casey pulled off the big upgrade.

What about Jimmy? That epic WrestleMania takedown? Yeah, that was pretty badass,

Jimmy. Well, you know, I did have a couple extra pounds on me to help take

down. A couple extra pounds? What are you talking about?

I'm wearing a 30 -pound weight vest.

And you just happen to be wearing that for what?

Uh, yeah, Jimmy, what's it for?

I am training to hike Mount Kilimanjaro in the fall.

Or maybe January, when it's warmer there.

What do you think of that, huh?

Yeah. Huh.

Not what I expected to hear, but good for you, Jimmy.

If anybody can make a climb like that, it's you.

Guess I just threw my hat over the wall.

Damn straight.

Again, I am so grateful for all that we were able to accomplish tonight. I know

it was obviously overshadowed by what happened to Daryl, but... I'm never

donuts again.

I mean, I'm sorry, who dies of food poisoning anymore? Can anyone say

comorbidity? Maybe we can talk about this during dinner next week. We'll do a

little something in Daryl's memory.

I have some food restrictions.

Yeah, maybe no sushi. Yeah, no sushi, no donuts.

Discuss this among yourselves and get back to me.

So they still think it's food poisoning?

You know, the worst part of lying is having to admit it.

I tell them the truth during dinner.

In the meantime, how about we all go out and have an early breakfast?

Uh, no, you guys, uh, you go without me. I'm just, I'm not hungry.

What's up, Case?

You all right?

What's wrong?

Whatever Tommy did, it worked.

Worked how?

I thought we stopped him in time.

Yeah, I did too, but...

Since I keep my personal data on my laptop for security purposes, I keep my

encryption key on our mainframe, which is why Tommy had to attach that device

during the reboot.

When the firewalls were down.

One would assume that whoever forced Tommy to do it was looking for a

to our database. You know, case files, employee info.

But they weren't?

No. None of those folders were even touched.

And what they did touch, you don't see.

Edna.

Edna?

Who's Edna?

Well, Edna's not a who.

She's a what, and she's gone.

So this was never about hacking the upgrade?

No. It was all about Edna.

Okay. What's Edna?

What are you saying, Kiss?

I'm saying that I think I'm the reason why Daryl is dead.
