why she targeted Marks?

He was in charge of

the Air Force's West Coast
Drone Command.

He had the keys
to the entire program.

So, if she wasn't stealing
secrets from Russia

and she wasn't in love with
Marks and planning to defect,

then what the hell
was she doing?

I don't know.

And that's what scares
the hell out of me.

Wesley:
A token of thanks

to the fine men and women

It's gorgeous.
Thank you.

Mm!

Hey, I'm really sorry
about earlier.

We've both been under
a lot of stress.

Thank you for not being part

of the massive,
society-wide conspiracy.

Don't mention it.

Nyla!

I'll see you at home?Yeah.

I got an ID on
your missing biker --

Ken Haverfield.

I just got off the phone
with his boyfriend.

Ken just got out of rehab.

The boyfriend
didn't report Ken missing

because he just assumed
Ken relapsed.

Well, he didn't fall off
the wagon.

He got hit by a car
and abducted by some psycho.

The victim in
Nolan's dope house arson

was a recovering addict,

and he had a fractured pelvis

consistent with
being hit by a car.

You think that
your serial killer

is the same guy
that hit Ken?

It's a great way to
incapacitate a victim,

force them to rely on you
for help.

If it is the same killer,

there's gonna be
another fire tonight --

tomorrow at the latest.

And our only lead
is that he drives

the most popular car
in L.A. --

and we don't have
a plate number.

Okay, so, no one is ever
100% successful, right?

This guy must have targeted
a victim at some point

who insisted on waiting
for an ambulance.

At which point
he would have fled,

and the responding officer would
have filed a hit-and-run.

I could run a search,
but there's going to be dozens,

maybe hundreds
of initial hits.

I will do it.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I will split it
with the midnight shift.

We'll start running down

You go home to Jack.

Look,
just this very morning,

I uncovered
a Russian FSB safehouse

when two Russian agents
tried to kill me

for helping
a third Russian agent

that they were sent after to
capture who had gone rogue.

Only no one could figure out
what kind of rogue she had gone

because the Air Force major
that she was sleeping with

turned up murdered.

Now, we don't know
whether she was using him

or actually in love with him

or whether the two agents
that killed him

did so
to tie up a loose end,

or if they were just using him
to try to capture her again.
