This is a message to the United States

and those who serve in its Armed Forces.

Today, I pledge my allegiance
to committing jihad

on a member of your military
here in the American homeland.

There is no safe haven
for those who make war

on the Islamic State.

You cannot terrorize and murder
those who follow the Prophet

and escape punishment by running home.

This is how the faithful
treat crusaders.

You may return to your country,
but you will never be safe.

Death to America and all her soldiers.

I know that was a
terrible way to start your day,

but this video, which I'm sure you heard

we took down almost immediately

when it appeared online four days ago,

remains the FBI's best and only
lead in a national manhunt.

So, I want to turn it over to Liz Soto

from our counterterrorism office in D.C.

Hello, everyone.
Sorry my voice is a little raw.

I've been working this case nonstop

since we confirmed
the video's authenticity.

So far, no luck tracing it back
to an I.P. address,

but there is nothing phony
about this recording.

What you just witnessed
is an authentic decapitation.

Does the FBI think

this victim was actually
in the U.S. military?

Or was. Yes,
but we have no idea who he is.

2 million active American
service personnel worldwide...

6 million more if you include veterans.

You're fishing in the ocean, guys.

Unless you're implying

that this video was shot in Los Angeles.

- Is that it?
- We think so, yes.

Soto and her team got lucky last night.

Despite the absence
of specific geographic markers,

our Image Analysis got a lead.

That little dot in the sky...
turns out it's an LAPD airship.

If we track the flight plan
of this helicopter

from four days ago and compare
it with the ISIS video,

we can discover
where the image was captured.

Our terrorist will be long gone.

But we could still find the victim

or evidence of the murder.

Okay, Los Angeles is a big place.

Our helicopters patrol an area
of about 500 square miles.

The victim seems to have been
decapitated on undeveloped land.

Well, 1/4 of L.A. County flyover

is either wilderness or state park...

still one hell of a search.

We understand the challenge,
but this act of terrorism

was either directed or inspired
by the Islamic State.

We have to find this killer,
his phones, his computers.

And the trail begins
with identifying the victim.

Which is why it is temporarily

in the country's best interest

to let the LAPD take the lead on this

and have Major Crimes
take on the assignment

instead of your
Counterterrorism Division...

so our ISIS friend doesn't
feel us breathing down his neck.

Find and identify our victim, Captain,

and the sooner, the better.

This is our needle,

and t is our haystack.

That's a lot of red lines, Buzz.

Well, the timeline the FBI
gave us was an hour and a half,

and this is where Air 12 was flying.

Well, how are they so certain of that?

Moon placement.

You can see it here
in the background, faintly.

Three days after it turned full,

so it's visible in the morning.

So, in calculating the orbit...

I was fine with "moon placement."

Okay, M.P.s from Pendleton,
Twentynine Palms,

and Coronado have forwarded us the names

of every serviceman who is AWOL,

and Oderno is sending up
every Missing Person report

involving former military personnel.

If there even is a report.

We have almost 3,000
homeless veterans in this city.

Double that in the county.

It's the war that never ends.

So, are we really
taking this asshole's word

that his victim was a serviceman?

Well, the military is.

They issued a worldwide alert bulletin

to all members of
the Armed Services and veterans

who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Makes me feel special.

Did ISIS take credit for the murder?

No. They only praised the attack
on their Twitter feed.

Yeah, well, they could have
gotten it off the news

just like everybody else.

Still, the map is the map. Chief Howard?

Based off the flight plans,

there are over 30 undeveloped areas

where the murder
could have been committed.

Not so.

I found a geographic marker

on this topographical map
the FBI missed.

You see?

There's nothing there.

Exactly.

When the guy tilts the camera up,

there's a lot of height
to the video's background.

You can see the moon in the sky,
you can see the helicopter,

but where can you stand
in a complete wilderness area

or park in L.A., looking at the horizon,

and not see hills, mountains, or ocean?

And with the morning moon
behind him, he'd be facing west.

With the camera pointed easterly,

with his back to an airship.

Oh, he'd also want some kind of road.

He didn't carry the victim to
where he chopped his head off.

We need a bigger map.

Since the airship never flew over it,

let's get rid of the Valley.

I've wanted to do that for years.

And we need to be
far enough away from the hills

so we don't see them
underneath the moon.

Can we center and enlarge
what's left, Buzz?

W-What's this area here,
east of downtown?

Uh, University Ridge Park.

Oh, yeah. I've found bodies there.

It's not as popular as Angeles Forest,

but it has its fans.

Oh, there are places in University Ridge

where you could face east

and not see the hills
or the skyline, ma'am.

Chief Howard, can you send up
the airship in question?

And transfer a live feed to you?

Sure. Air 12 is standing by.

Buzz, how much closer
can you get to this road?

Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today

Air 12 to Base.
Are you receiving this feed?

Acknowledge, Air 12. This is 4 King 62.

We're receiving.

At least the airship's
in the right position,

and we know it's far enough away

so the crew wouldn't have been
able to see the murder.

Since we've established that, Chief,

maybe we should have support
fly over the park.

Air 12, this is 4 King 62.

Give our team on the ground a
little closer attention, please.

Roger that, Chief. Air 12 is responding.

Hey, guys! The
dogs have picked up a scent!

Well, the dogs have got something.

They look awful excited down there.

Okay, Tao, uh, behind me.

All right, I'm facing west.

Now, when you look up,
what do you see facing east?

Nothing but sky.

All right, we need a 30-yard perimeter

established from where I'm standing.

Uh, Flynn, call it in,
but use your cellphone.

Radio discipline from everyone
from here on out.

We do not want the media
listening to a scanner,

learning about this body.

Hey. Can you see what's going on?

Yes. We're going to dig.

All right, what's that? What is it?

Is that the murder weapon
from the video?

As near as I can tell, yeah.

She's holding up something.
Looks like a knife, partner.

Okay, hold on. I've got something.

Looks like...

Looks like...

It's the head.

Ah. Over here.

Okay.

We found it...

a body, a head, and the murder weapon.

Okay. Quietly, quietly
close and evacuate the park.

Will do.

Air 12, this is 4 King 62. Thanks.

We found what we were looking
for. You can return to base.

Copy that, Chief.

We're done here, partner.
Return to base.

All right, you got it.

Wonder what the big deal was down there.

Well...

they're here.

Hey. Uh, I-I know dinner's off.

Oh. This murder is really
time-sensitive. I'm sorry.

That's not a problem. I was just, um...

I was actually looking for Buzz.

He went to film a crime scene
with Lieutenant Provenza.

Something I can help you with?

Well... Well, you probably
have a lot going on right now,

but I took the video from the ATM

where Buzz's father and uncle
were murdered,

and I ran it through like six old VCRs

from our communications department,

and it's just...
it's just covered in static.

Ohhh. That's too bad.

Yeah, but one of my professors says

that it's just because the tape is dirty

and that you guys have a process

that you use to clean it all up.

Well, we do, but justifying the expense,

we would have to have
a fresh lead or a new suspect.

Well, but that's just what Buzz
is looking for on the tape.

Oh, my God.

I mean, the guy gets a job at the LAPD

and trains to become
a reserve police officer

all so that he can re-open
the investigation

into his father's murder,

and it all comes to a crashing halt

just because we can't see what's
on some prehistoric ATM video?

You know, the ATM video...

maybe there is somebody
that I could speak to.

Okay. Thank you.

Um, did you call your mother
again about the baby?

No. And I've decided I'm not going to.

That baby needs to be put up
for adoption the day it is born.

I mean, clearly, she...
she sees this whole situation

as a second chance
to be a better mother,

and that is a terrible reason
to have a kid.

Well, perhaps your mother has reasons

she didn't share with you.

Such as?

Maybe this child is helping
to keep her sober.

Okay, well, good luck
to that baby, then,

because that's more
than I could ever do.

Every single time I feel like
I have a handle on her,

she surprises me.

I mean, maybe I'll never
really know who she is.

Your victim's name is
probably Nicholas Greenbourne.

Served in the Army 2004 to 2010,

three tours in Iraq.

Uh, DMV lists his home address
in Yucca Valley.

Did we I.D. him off his prints?

No... off the clothes
he was reported wearing

in the Missing Persons report,

filed with the LAPD last Thursday.

And we are sure that this head
belongs to this body?

Cutting patterns match up. See?

Horrible. But convincing.

Anything else? Two things.

Your victim... when I removed
the hood from his head,

I found duct tape covering his mouth.

What is it that the killer

didn't want him to say?

What the hell do you think you're doing?

We're fulfilling your ask, Agent Soto...

locating someone
who might be your victim...

and now we're trying to I.D. him from...

The FBI requested your help
with this investigation,

not that you take... Special Agent Soto,

we are all on the same side here.

The LAPD lacks the assets

to confront an international
terrorist attack

on the Armed Forces of the United States

and should stand down... now.

We've found inconsistencies with other,

similar decapitations that just...

You're looking for consistency
from ISIS?

We're asking to know
why his mouth was taped shut

when the world was meant
to hear him screaming.

We will answer all of those questions

when we find our terrorist.

But until we do, we're under orders

to transport the victim to D.C.

So, if you'd all just step back
from the gurney,

we have a team... Uh...

Without a court order, you're
not taking this body anywhere.

We can't get a court order
without publicly acknowledging

that we've discovered the victim,

and we're not prepared to do that yet

for reasons pertaining...

I don't care what your reasons are.

Until I see legal documentation
to the contrary,

you have zero jurisdiction
in my examination room.

I'm the authority here,

so step back... please.

You know, Agent Soto,
if you're wrong about this...

and you could be... you'll just end up

returning this murder to us
six months from now.

Fine, Doctor. You can finish.

Thanks, but I don't need
your permission.

Maybe it would be better if
the two of you waited outside...

Hmm?... with your team.

Okay. Captain, you're right.

Agent Morris wants us
to drag our feet on this.

But until he can tell us why,

let me at least give Agent Soto
the name of our victim.

Might as well look cooperative.

Thank you, Chief.

Doctor, you said there were two things.

Yes. As I was about to say...

before we were so rudely interrupted...

in addition to the duct tape,

your victim drank himself

to an alcohol level of at least .24.

Because Islamic extremists
tend to overserve.

All right, Amy,
inform Lieutenant Provenza

as to our progress.

And we need to speak
to the people who filed

this Missing Persons report
on Nicholas Greenbourne

and ask them for their help.

Miguel, Vince, Hailey,
do any of you recognize the...

Oh, man. Yeah.

That's what Nick was wearing
when we all went out

last Wednesday night.

Whoa. On the shoes...

is that blood?

What happened?

Um, you both served with Nick?

Infantry, 2004 to 2010.

Three tours in Iraq.

Okay, now the FBI
is about to chop off my head.

You guys were deployed together?

Yes. Out of Diyala during the surge.

Are these the persons reporting?

Have they given us a timeline yet?

We're almost there, Chief. Hold on.

Nick struggles.

There's a lot of us
never fully came back from Iraq.

Without structure, without a mission,

he struggles... in life and in work.

Carpentry jobs here and there
if his cousin calls him,

but other than that...

Anything... on the side?

Uh, like criminal? There's no way.

Okay, so, when you last saw him...

We all went out to dinner together,

which is what we usually do
when Nick visits.

And after, he asked me to...

to let Vince go out for a drink...

to celebrate our marriage next week.

Nick always has a reason to celebrate.

We tried to talk him into
calling it a night

'cause he overdoes it,
and then Vince and I end up...

We end up bailing on him, yeah.

This happens when Nick visits us.

He usually Ubers back to our house.

But Thursday morning, Nick
wasn't there when you woke up.

You were worried?

Well, yes.

I mean, at first, we thought

he'd hooked up with someone,
but the day went on.

Nick never called.

His car stayed parked outside our house.

He was in town to help us
get ready for our wedding,

but... I mean, he knew
how important it was to us.

He might not be the smartest man
you'll ever meet,

but he's not a flake.

I tried his cellphone a few times,

but when he didn't answer or call back,

I drove out to his place in Yucca

to see if somehow he'd ended up
back home, but he hadn't.

I mean, this is just crazy. Where is he?

How could he just disappear? Huh?

Why is there blood on his shoes?!

This is what the police
are supposed to find out.

So, what bar did you leave Nick at?

Uh... it was
where he wanted to go, honey.

What?

Ms. Leggett, um, why don't you
step outside for a moment?

Thank you.

And the name of the bar is...?

Gazelles Nightclub, in the Valley.

Listen, listen,
it's... it's not a strip club.

The waitresses...
they just wear bikinis.

I know it. It's off Lankershim.

Well, it's been there since I was 19.

How far is that
from where Nick was buried?

Far... over 10 miles.

Looking for the owners.

They won't be there tonight.
It's closed on Mondays.

Or, uh... used to be.

What?

I mean, he could... he could be
a little obvious, you know,

the way he hit on the, um, waitresses,

but, I mean,
they're used to that, right?

Really?

Do some of these waitresses
have boyfriends or husbands?

Uh, boyfriends? Oh, uh, I doubt it.

I mean, I wouldn't want my wife
walking around like that.

Before either of you left,
did anyone ask you

if you were or had ever been
in the military?

The place is full of
Army guys... some Marines, too.

They pop up here from
Twentynine Palms on the weekend.

In a crowd like that, it's hard to say

why one of us would stand out.

Okay, off the record...

You doubt this beheading was
directed by ISIS, as well.

The phrasing the killer used
on the video is inconclusive.

And he said "the Prophet"
without immediately saying

"Blessings be upon him"
or something like it,

which is odd.

So, our killer is
self-radicalized domestically?

He didn't recite the Qur'an
to validate his actions,

so I don't know how deep
his attachment to Islam is.

He may be what our profilers call

a classic injustice collector.

Except the murder weapon

was definitely a knife
from the Middle East.

Which could denote
a recruit trained overseas, yes.

Soto's running with that,

and she's dragging Washington with her.

My guess is, sometime tomorrow,

she'll have the necessary paperwork

to come in here, take your evidence,

and this will become a federal case

focused solely on ISIS.

But we can look wherever we want.

And, unofficially, maybe you should.

And how would she work

and take care of a child
at the same time

with no one to help her
and nowhere permanent to live

with her house-sitting and stuff?

I don't know, but...
this makes minute 47

you've spent on the difficulties
this new baby will face

without saying one word
about your mother having a child

by the man who beat and abandoned you.

No feelings about that?

Well, how do you think I feel, Dr. Joe?

How can I be sure if you won't say?

All right! It sucks!

And it's... and it's wrong,

and it never should have happened.

Making me the half-brother
of Gary's kid is...

is very, very upsetting,

and I-I-I do not want
that child in my life.

Great.

Sorry to make you walk and talk
for so long,

but otherwise,
we would have had to cancel.

We'll end with how you don't
want Gary's child in your life,

and I'll see you next week.

W-Wait. Wait.

Y-You can't... You can't just, like...

You can't just get me all mad
and then just walk off, Dr. Joe.

You can't do that.

I got you all mad?

I wonder if that's true.

What the hell is
a classic injustice collector?

Uh, this is the definition
I pass out at my seminars.

The FBI has their own way of
explaining injustice collectors,

but I guess
they're not high on this theory?

Officially, they have
their focus, we have ours.

"Injustice collectors are never wrong,

so disciplinary actions
taken against them

are always unfair and demeaning"?

Really?

That's how they see it, yes.

"Injustice collectors
visualize themselves

as judge and jury to those
they consider enemies."

"Injustice collectors
rationalize their own behavior,

tend to demonize the people
who disagree with them."

My first four wives, for example.

And all of Santa Monica.

Would an injustice collector
self-radicalize?

If it helped him achieve
moral superiority, possibly.

But the ideology would have to fit

with a pre-existing grievance.

If your perpetrator had
a deep-seated resentment

of the military,

he could adopt ISIS
to justify his actions.

But he was highly organized.

He thought a great deal

about how and where
he would kill his victim,

and he wanted to get away with it.

Which does indicate targeting.

Of the bar, if nothing else.

It's all plausible,
but I'm having a problem

fitting the killer's
exit strategy into the profile.

In San Bernardino,
which is a relative example...

...there was no serious plan for escape,

and the attack seemed spontaneous.

Major Crimes. In Colorado Springs, too,

there was no thought
put into getting away.

Yeah. One second.
Uh, Captain, it's Mike.

He said two guys
just showed up at Gazelles

to open the joint up.

Should we talk to them,

or should we wait for Special Agent Soto

and her gang of experts to do it?

It'll take a while for the FBI
to catch up with us.

If Gazelles has security cameras,

we might have time to get in there

and grab surveillance footage

from the night our victim disappeared.

Yeah, and then the Feds
could take it away from us

whenever they finally show up.

But okay.

Yes, Mike,
see if Gazelles will cooperate.

Hey, and if either one of these guys

look like they may have an ax to grind

and may have used it recently, call me.

Will do.

The girls won't start work
for another hour...

Ah. Police officers.

Welcome. Welcome.

Can I get you guys a drink...
water, juice, spirits?

Are you on duty?

We aren't here for a drink.

Another person just walked
in here with you. Where is he?

That was my son.
He's in the back office.

May I help you?

Hey, would you like
to review my licenses?

Hey, you, come here. L.A.P.D.

And my inventory?

We're not with Vice.

Sir, tell me your name.

Asim Behdi. Look me up.

I don't have any violations.

My business is 1,000% legitimate.

Did you ask for their warrant, Dad?

Nemo, we have nothing to hide.

Ignore him. He's not in charge.

Were you two working here
Wednesday night? Yes.

Nemo tended bar with Chris,
and I was managing the floor.

Do you remember this customer?

Of course... the big tipper.

Big tipper?

Throwing $100s around.

Army veteran, right?

Why? Has something happened?

Tell me, Nemo... how do you know
this man was an Army veteran?

He repeated it over and over

to Kimberly, one of our dancers.

He was doing everything stupid people do

to get her attention. No,
no, no, no, no, no, no.

He was a very kind man,
a very generous man.

He was a jerk with too much money,

pestering Kimberly,
trying to buy her for the night.

Do you remember what time he left?

Yeah. I stopped serving him
a little after midnight.

Offered me $200
for another tequila soda,

but I said no.

Told him to call an Uber and go home.

He waited till Kimberly got off
and then stumbled out.

Disgusting.

Sir, do you have cameras
inside or outside the bar?

Of course... at the front door
and in the parking lot.

Could you have video
from last Wednesday night

- available for...
- When I see a warrant.

Nemo! They are the police.

They aren't telling us anything, Dad.

This is some profiling bullshit,
and I'm sick of it.

Everywhere we go.

I'm dragged out of lines at the airport.

People freak out when I walk
into the movie theaters.

And now something happens
to this Army guy,

and the police come in saying,
"Oh, it's the Muslims."

Nemo, what are you talking about?

Your grandfather was Muslim, not us.

I am an owner of a nightclub...

a mainstream-American occupation.

You know something else
really mainstream-American,

is a search warrant.

Also, civil rights.

You could sign a consent decree

so we could take your security video.

And give us this Kimberly's
phone number and address.

We'd like to talk to her.

Everybody wants to talk to Kimberly.

Of course.

And I will e-mail you the video.

We will cooperate however we can.

First, Miguel leaves at about 9:15.

And then, an hour and 20 minutes
later, Vince leaves.

Until finally, 12:36, Nick stumbles out,

apparently sees his Uber driver,
and walks off to his ride.

Except... that's not what happened.

The Uber driver gets the request
from Nick's cell at 12:39.

When the driver gets to Gazelles
at 12:45, Nick is gone.

Now, GPS confirms the driver's story.

But, if you'll play the video
forward a little...

No, no, no, no. Wait.

Uh, if Nick didn't call for his ride

until three minutes later,

who was he waving to here?

Maybe the FBI will be
able to answer that question.

Special Agents Soto and Morris.

Captain, I have a federal court order

directing you to turn over all evidence

related to this act of terrorism
to me right now.

And thank you and the L.A.P.D.

for the great job you did
at our request.

Well, fortunately,

we already have everything
boxed up and ready to go.

I know the drill. Let me help you guys.

Be sure and e-mail us

all this surveillance video
of our victim.

Our facial-recognition software
is much better than yours.

Oh, I'm sure it is.

And, um...

you'll need this.

We're unable to see clearly
what's on this video,

and I know that the FBI can do wonders.

When we're trusted
to do our jobs, yes, we can.

Thank you, Captain. We'll be in touch.

We can't wait.

Uh, Captain...

Thank you. I, uh...

Don't thank me, Buzz.

The FBI has jurisdiction
over bank robberies.

Right.

Okay, Sykes is staked out at Gazelles.

Mike and Julio are waiting
for Kimberly at her house.

With any luck,

we should be able to get
to our highly tipped waitress

before the FBI even knows she exists.

And maybe our lowly paid carpenter

mentioned to Kimberly
where his $100 bills came from.

Or better yet, maybe she can tell us

who he's waving to
when he's leaving the club.

- Kimberly White?
- Yeah.

L.A.P.D.? What can I do for you?

We'd like to ask you a few
questions about Wednesday night.

Uh, do you mind if we come in, Kimberly?

I knew it was too good to be true.

Lucky for you,
I haven't made a deposit yet.

I'm shy about handing large
amounts of cash over to my bank

because of how nosy
the federal government is.

Tell us about it.

This is Tuesday.

Here's Wednesday.

Nick would be the eight $100 bills.

Wow. That's a lot of money.

Do you need to take all of them?

I have my first real exhibition
this week.

I could really use it.

- He only gave you $100s?
- Uh-huh.

That was a big departure

from the $5s he usually tossed my way.

And I know what you're thinking,
but I didn't go home with him.

I was clear we weren't doing that,

and he told me "No problem"
and gave me his phone number

in case I changed my mind.

- He tell you how he made this money?
- No.

Mostly, he just talked
about how hot my ass looked.

Kimberly...

do you have a boyfriend...
someone who might be jealous

over the attention Nick gave you?

No, but I have a girlfriend

who lives in Austin and loves what I do

because it means I can fly out
to see her whenever I want to.

What is it, Tao?

Henry Paulson, Henry Paulson,

Henry Paulson, Henry Paulson,

Henry Paulson.

All signed by
the same Treasury Secretary.

And the serial numbers on the bills,

if you take a look,
are in sequential order.

Ah. Are you about to perform...
a magic trick?

I already have, because
even though the bills look real,

according to the Treasury
Department, they don't exist.

- You're saying it's counterfeit?
- Uh, no, ma'am.

He's saying all that money
was destroyed in Iraq,

along with another $600,000.

Hold on. Hold on.

During the surge,

the Defense Department
earmarked millions of dollars

for our allies in the Sunni Awakening.

And now many of those same militia
leaders are allied with ISIS.

And they say people don't change.

But you're saying, Mike,
that this currency

was never distributed to the Sunnis?

No.

According to records,

the Army personnel
in charge of financial support

were caught in an ambush

and were ordered to torch the cash.

And then it shows up here,
where our victim uses it

to tip a girl in a strip joint.

A bikini bar, sir.

Technically, finding that money
should trigger an inquiry

by the Army's
Criminal Investigation Division.

And the M.P.s would be able to tell us

who was ordered to destroy that cash...

as if we didn't
have a good idea already.

Amy, if you could start
that inquiry, please.

While she's doing that, I can ask Morris

if he'd use the Patriot Act

to get us some
useful financial information.

Okay.

In the meantime, let's see

if any of these Henry Paulson $100s

have shown up anywhere else recently.

I hear that getting married
has become very expensive...

venues, photographers.

Paying an L.A. caterer
in U.S. currency is not a crime.

Yes, but the cash
Vince gave her this morning

to cover the rest of his deposit...

well, it has some
peculiar features to it.

Such as? I mean, it's real, isn't it?

It's too real...
comes from a batch of money

that was supposed to be
destroyed in Iraq.

Yes, and according to the Army,

the three men
ordered to destroy this cash

were your client, his friend Miguel,

and Nick, our victim.

You better not be interviewing a
suspect in my terrorist attack.

Well, that all depends
on how you look at it.

Right now, we're doing
a preliminary investigation

of a robbery homicide,

but it could connect to your case.

Which is why we asked you to join us.

We may need you.

...at Gazelles, uh, to a stripper...

uh, I'm sorry... to a waitress...

right before he disappeared.

Your client's tax returns...
they show he's unemployed

and making no income for three years.

Yes, his so-called job as
a traveling pharmaceutical rep

doesn't exist.

You've been lying to your fiancée.

Not a crime.

Thank God, or we'd be here 24/7.

Still, your pretty little wife-to-be

has a job as a receptionist
at a doctor's office.

I doubt that she made
the $100,000 down payment

on your new condo

or on the lease for your Mercedes.

So, Vince, where'd
all the money come from?

After a three-way split

of the money that you were
ordered to destroy,

you would be left with about $200,000.

Sounds like a lot, doesn't it?

Money... to burn.

Then it goes fast,

especially when you've
lied yourself into a corner

with the woman you want to marry.

You're suggesting an Iraqi War veteran,

who may very well
be suffering from PTSD,

robbed the Army, split the money
up with his friends,

spent all his cash,

and then killed one of his best friends

for more money?

No, sir, we're saying that your client

took his buddy to a bar,
where he got him good and drunk,

and he told Nick that he would
wait outside to give him a ride,

drove him to a pre-dug grave,

and then dressed up like he was in ISIS

and cut his friend's head off
with a knife on video

to make it look like
an act of terrorism!

And then he drove out to Yucca
and stole all the guy's money.

Julio, when you
lay it all out like that,

it sounds a little... premeditated.

This... This is the ISIS murder?

No.

This is the

"I want to kill my friend
and steal his money

to pay for my wedding
and honeymoon" murder.

Confer with your client, counselor.

We've already spoken to
the district attorney's office,

and they're willing
to take death off the table

if we get a quick confession
to Murder One.

No way. No!

No way. I didn't kill anybody!

Okay, Vince, you had your chance.

Amy? Andy?

...ISIS slip right into America,

despite everything we fought for.

I'm so insulted right now.

I did three tours in Iraq,
serving my country with Nick,

and you think I just
dressed up like some Muslim

and killed him?

Unreal!

Okay, Miguel.

You're lucky that
your friend Vince is an idiot...

'cause now you have choices.

Not gr choices,
but better than life in prison

for all the money you stole

from the Army while you were in Iraq.

- What money? I didn't take any...
- No, let's not start this way, okay?

That's the way Vince started,

and it's just gonna piss everybody off.

You get an honorable discharge,
and six months later,

your wife opens
a $200,000 investment account

and goes to work as a broker?

Don't even try to explain it.
Just listen.

Option 1... we let the Army
court-martial you

for theft and dereliction of duty.

During wartime, Miguel.

That's 25 years in prison
for the dereliction alone.

No.

I won't do 25 years.

Okay, well, option 2...
you admit to the theft,

and you answer
all of our questions truthfully,

and in return for your cooperation,

the Army has agreed
to give you seven years.

I can't be away
from my baby girl that long.

That's too bad.

Because your third option
is life without parole

as an accomplice to the murder
of Nick Greenbourne.

Nick is...

H-He's really dead?

How?

Have you ever seen this knife before?

Man.

Man, look, y'all...
that money we took...

we took it as hazard pay.

A-And we deserved it, too.

Burning up money

because we couldn't hand it out
to the Muslims?

What about us, huh?

It's okay to give to the Muslims,

but the people who fought for them

had to come back with nothing?

What was I supposed to get?

Seven years in a military prison.

If you start telling us
the truth about Nick.

You volunteered.

You signed up.

You broke your oath.

You want to go away for life...

...be my guest.

Nick still had most of his cash.

Poor guy.

He inherited this shitty house in Yucca,

and, you know, for him, success meant

being able to buy a six-pack
every night.

That wasn't enough for Vince.

No, Vince wanted the American dream...

beautiful wife, great car.

He just...

just didn't have the skills
to make it, man.

Like you do.

The knife.

Vince took it off
a dead Republican guard,

brought it with the money.

Put a false bottom
in a footlocker... 600 grand.

Okay.

I think, uh...

Special Agent Soto and I
can take it from here.

Right.

We'll, uh, call off
our surveillance of Gazelles,

inform Washington.

And thank you all for your assistance.

Ah.

And before I go...

a clear DVD of what was on your video...

which, by the way,

was completely unrelated to this case.

Long-range.

Mm.

Well... poor guys. Looked pretty awful.

Mm.

I wish you luck with it.

Thank you, Captain.
You're welcome, Buzz.

I hope it helps more than it hurts.

Buzz, are you gonna watch that tonight?

I-If I finish work
early enough, I might.

Pardon me. This is Special Agent Soto,

and I'm Special Agent Morris of the FBI.

I'm afraid the period in which
you could make a deal with

the California Justice System
has come to an end.

Whoa. FBI? What does the FBI
have to do with this?

We're arresting your client
on charges related to terrorism.

Screw you! Terrorism?!

Does the FBI actually expect
this terrorism charge to stick?

Well, now that they know
who did it, they'll be able

to reverse-engineer
Vince's Internet uplink.

Though I don't know if what
he did will count as terrorism.

Let the courts decide.

...video in which
you decapitated your friend

in the name of ISIS,

you incited others to do the same

to United States military
officers around the world.

And the federal government...
takes you at your word.

That is awesome. Catching a terrorist?

I mean, how many guys can say

that their mothers beat ISIS?

Well, it wasn't ISIS at all...
just a regular sociopath,

although there are similarities.

Gus... this was terrific.

Thank you for keeping it warm for me.

I can't believe you just
whipped this up in our kitchen.

We don't cook at all.

Thanks.

My boss said I have promise...

says if I work days on the floor
and nights in the kitchen,

I could probably move up quick.

And the guy owns four restaurants.

Oh, Gus, that's wonderful.
Isn't that wonderful?

Sure.

I mean, I'd like
to see him go to college,

but if he'd rather do this...

That's your son...

stubborn and a little opinionated.

Okay, I-I am in no way opinionated.

Oh. No way.

You just have to let it
roll off your back.

I'm only thinking about
your long-term future here,

if that's okay.

And I'm just hoping to do well enough

so that Paloma's new family

will let me visit her... soon.

You see, that's just another way
we're different.

I'd do anything to talk
with my little sister again.

You... you'd do anything
not to have one.

My sister's just a few miles
away from here,

and I have to keep my distance.

Yours... Yours isn't
even born yet, and you're trying

to get the baby as far away
from you as possible.

The baby should be put up for adoption.

I am not wrong here.

I'm not.

Not being wrong doesn't make you right.

And Buzz.

What is it?

"I sent something for you
in your e-mail."

Why do people text
to say that they've e-mailed?

Why not just say what you
want to say in the text?

No opinions at all.

That is not an opinion.
That is a question.

I'll be right back.

Gus, you are very patient.

With him, it's necessary.

But it pays off.

- Don't you think?
- I do.

I most definitely do.

Okay.

"Hey.

This is the video
from the ATM security camera

of my father and uncle's murder."

Oh, my God.

"Your mother had the FBI
clear up the recording.

I don't know anymore
if you should see it."

What?

But we agreed you could watch it,

so if you want...

...here's the link.

Buzz."
