Son of a bitch.

Babe, what are you doing?

- Ella! - Did you have fun?

- Stop. - With Kayla?

What? What are you talking about?

Oh, OK, so now you're going to lie to my face.

- Stop, stop, stop. - I went on your laptop.

I saw her text to you this morning.

- What? - See you at 8:30, from Kayla DH.

Couple bitch-ass smiley faces after that.

Yeah, Kayla DH.

DH. Dental hygienist.

I got my teeth cleaned this morning.

See? Look.

You've reached

the dental office of Carrington and Klein.

We're unavailable to take your call right now.

If you can leave your name and number

and what you're calling about,

we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Good morning, LA.

It's 7:30 a.m. and here's your traffic update.

In fairness to her, my high school girlfriend

is named Kayla, and I hooked up with Kayla

a year ago at our reunion when Ella and I were on a break.

So there's some context that you're missing.

You know what? I have been...

I have been waiting. I have been biting my tongue.

But now... now is the time.

Louis Zamperini commemorative medallion.

World War II bombardier who survived

a plane crash and two years in Japanese prison camps.

Mitch, whenever I'm going through, like, a...

like a tough spot, like when I was going

through my divorce, right?

I would just... I would rub this coin, and I would think,

"You know what? I don't got it so bad.

I just got to keep on persevering."

What am I going to do with this?

You got to get out of the relationship, OK?

You know you do. Ella knows.

And you're going to hit some moments, right,

- where it won't be easy... - Mitchell, come in.

Go for Mitchell.

- Anything? - Nothing yet, but we just got here.

I'm pulling you and the whole team.

We've got a mandatory briefing

on the new interdepartmental protocols.

HQ2, I'm telling you, there's a pattern here.

- You just got to give us today. - It's coming from upstairs.

Wrap it up and get back here.

You know, also, she's really stressed out at work, man.

The AUSA kicked her case back

with a declination letter.

She put a year into that thing. No results.

- Hmm. Mm-hmm. - OK?

Is this our target?

That is her.

- And that's them. That's them. - Yup.

We have eyes on subject, black SUV following our target.

We need that backup to return.

Just tail and monitor. Report back.

Copy.

SUV is still following our target.

We're on the 101 south of Winnetka exit.

Requesting backup, air or vehicle.

On the 101?

The target lives in Calabasas, correct?

We'll notify the local police to keep

an eye on her home, which is obviously where she's headed.

Just tail and monitor.

What's the appeal?

Like, why stay in this so long?

I'm not good on my own.

I'm better when I'm around other people. I admit it.

They're not waiting for Calabasas.

Subject SUV has just interdicted target.

We need immediate assistance.

Here we go, bro.

Get out of the car!

- Get out of the car! - No, no!

- Get out! - FBI!

On the ground!

Give me some cover, Mike.

Moving! Move!

Stay down!

Keep your head down!

Mike!

Mike, hang in there.

Hang in there, buddy.

We're almost there. Almost there, man.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

- Easy, Mike. - It's OK, Mike.

- It's OK, buddy. - Call radiology.

We need an abdominal CT to check internal bleeding.

And alert the surgical team.

This one's going to the OR, ASAP.

Any other injuries?

No, just the GSW to the abdomen.

That's all I can see.

Hey, he's gonna be fine.

- He's going to be fine, OK? - Yeah. Yeah.

How many times did I call for backup?

- Back off. - How many times?

- How many times? - Back off.

- How many times? - You got him shot.

- Back off. - Get off me!

- Stand down! - Get off me! Damn it!

We're all torn up about this, Wes.

It's on you.

What do we know about the guy I shot?

No ID. Prints weren't in the system.

But facial rec came back and matched a passport photo.

Milos Bako, age 22. Hungarian citizen.

He arrived from Budapest to San Diego

on a B-2 visitor visa four days ago.

Second time he's been in the country in three months.

No sponsor listed.

We're also pulling up the flight manifest,

airport cameras, and working with ICE

to ID any co-travelers he was with.

Legat in Budapest is also checking in

with Hungarian authorities if he's known to them.

Fly Team's also been alerted.

Where the hell are they now?

We'll be in Budapest in an hour.

Thank you.

All right.

I got to go, but keep me posted.

Cameron.

- Agent Mitchell. - No, Wes.

I'm not your training agent anymore.

OK.

It's good to see you.

Congrats on all your success.

You too.

I'm really sorry to hear about Agent Brooks.

Uh, I just got an update.

It looks like he's out of the woods.

OK.

Glad to hear it.

Look, before we lock arms on this one,

I just want to clear the air a little bit.

OK.

I know I didn't go easy on you in Seattle,

and I know there was some frustration on your end

regarding my methods, I guess.

So if there's any animosity still lingering,

maybe we just put that aside until the case is closed,

and I'm back stateside.

No animosity.

You helped make me the agent I am today.

Yeah, I may not have felt the same way during training,

but I get it now. I'm just...

I'm grateful for how you helped shape me.

I was due for some good news.

You can work out of here.

Where's McKintrick?

He's, uh, on annual leave for two weeks.

He's in Spain or France.

Can't remember which, but wine-tasting tours

were going to be involved.

Wow. The "I love me" wall.

Yeah. He's, um... he's something.

Well, if he puts as much effort into leading

the Fly Team as he does decorating his office,

you guys are in good hands.

The analysts will be ready in a few minutes.

Great. Nice to meet you, Amanda.

You too.

What's he like?

Well, if you ask ten different people...

and I did... you are going to get ten different answers.

But each one of them will tell you

that he has a knack for finding the thing,

whether it's the clue, the pattern,

the suspect, the motivation.

It's just a matter of, how many pieces of china

is he going to break in pursuit of that?

What did he do pre-Bureau?

Ten years LAPD, so that factors in.

You know, it's like a lot of cops who become agents.

He doesn't like waiting around.

He's less patient and methodical,

more rattling the cage.

Well, my job just got ten times harder.

Wait, hold up. Wes Mitchell?

Wasn't he front and center at that standoff that went bad

- in Montrose, Colorado? - Yeah.

He was cleared of all charges, though.

Eventually.

We're ready.

I was following a crew doing strong-armed robberies

and home invasions, starting in San Diego,

working their way up to Los Angeles.

These are brazen, violent heists targeting jewelers

and private residences.

- The suspect Agent Mitchell shot... - Killed.

Shot and killed.

Correction... the DOA from the LA freeway heist

came from Budapest.

We pulled up similar profiles of single men

flying from around that time, and Agent Mitchell

was able to identify Vilmos Barany.

This is who shot Mike Brooks.

He flew from Budapest to San Diego

two days prior to Bako arriving in LA.

That looks like a tourism robbery crew.

Fly into the U.S., they pillage,

and then they fly back out by the time

American police figures out who did it.

Yeah, well, their luck has just run out.

First stop should be the embassy.

See how they got their visas.

Sounds good.

We're trying to determine how these two

may have known each other.

I have no idea.

It's not part of my job purview.

Right.

Well, then we'll need to know of any other single men

between 18 to 35 who were also issued

a visa at around the same time as those two.

I'll forward you everything I have.

Neither one had a criminal record.

The passport process wasn't that complicated.

There were no red flags.

Isn't being single, no kids, low income,

and no owned property a red flag in the visa game?

Are you perfect at your job?

Me neither.

Barany's mom lives in Budapest.

Thank you.

I haven't seen my son in weeks.

Why'd he travel to the U.S.?

He's going to trade school to be plumber.

He wanted to see California beaches

and Hollywood stars before he starts fixing toilets

for the rest of his life.

Do you know him?

No, never seen him.

How many times did your son go to California?

- One time. - He went twice.

That's a lot of money for an aspiring plumber.

Mm, maybe in America,

21-year-olds still feed at their mother's breast.

Not here. He's a man now.

He does what he wants.

Mrs. Barany, your son is wanted

for a very serious crime he committed in the U.S.

We won't stop until we find him,

and people who prevent us from doing that,

they get in trouble too.

America tries to bring fake charges against people

far more important than my son.

Your country is good at that.

Leave me alone.

Barany's mom placed a call to a number

right after Andre and Smitty left.

That conversation lasted three seconds.

Then she got a call from a blocked number,

and that conversation lasted five minutes.

The three-second call was to the New Chance Youth Center.

It's a place for underprivileged kids in the Eighth District.

Barany and Bako were both enrolled there.

Now, the center's founder and main donor is Greg Csonka.

Former dual citizenship with the U.S.

Lived in Long Beach, California,

since he was two years old.

Long criminal history, starting when he was 13.

Did five years for armed robbery.

U.S. citizenship revoked, and he was deported

back to Hungary after his prison stint was up.

- That was just a year ago. - OK.

I'll forward everyone Csonka's full sheet,

including residence and known associates.

He's also part-owner of a club in the Jewish Quarter.

All right.

Let's dig in on this dude and his youth center.

Hey, how's he doing?

He goes in for follow-up surgery tomorrow.

Doctor wouldn't give me a straight answer,

but you know how they are.

But no one seems to be panicking, so...

- I'll keep a good thought. - I appreciate the update.

- Any leads on your end? - Not yet.

Uh, putting some names to faces.

Possible involvement by a guy out here

who runs a center for troubled teens.

What could go wrong there, huh?

Yeah.

Listen, when I get home,

I want to work on things.

Get better as a couple.

100%. I love you.

I love you too.

I got to get back to work.

I'll talk to you soon.

What have we got?

These two flew into California three days prior

to Barany and Bako, and they attended the same

- youth center here in Budapest. - I reached out to HNP.

They weren't able to make contact with either one of them.

OK. Wes needs to see this.

Where's Wes?

I don't know.

But one of the sedans is gone.

That's Hungarian for "don't move,"

in case you were wondering.

Wes Mitchell, FBI.

FBI? You look like a cop.

My credentials are in my pocket.

I believe you.

Nice to meet you.

Sorry about that.

We've had some threats against us lately.

Jeez. Uh, what kind of threats?

Some young men who attended the center were asked to leave.

They didn't take it well.

They fell back on old problem-solving techniques,

- on violence and intimidation. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, those two.

We're looking for these guys. You know why?

I've heard rumors.

There was some craziness back in the States.

Yeah, something like that.

Barany's mom, she called here two minutes

after a couple of agents went to her house.

Yeah, she was looking for Vilmos.

I basically told her what I just told you.

I read your criminal report from back in the U.S.

I'm sure you did.

You know, a cynic might suggest

this is the perfect place to recruit

a couple of misguided young men,

turn them into a robbery crew.

Well, there's nothing I can do about my past,

or how people view me because of it,

but the truth is...

and this is me telling you man-to-man...

since I've been out, I've devoted my life

to helping at-risk youth here in Budapest.

Hey, it's a noble cause.

- I'd like to think so. - Yeah.

So you got, like, a bake sale going or something?

'Cause I'd love to contribute.

No, we got it covered.

Are you sure you're not a cop?

- I was. - I knew it.

I knew it.

I can always spot a cop.

I can always spot a convict.

Yeah.

All right. I'll see you around.

No need.

I told you all I know.

Then farewell it is.

So you think he's our guy?

Absolutely.

And why did you go solo, without telling us?

It was an informal visit.

And if Csonka is involved in any way,

then I want him to know he's being looked at

sooner rather than later.

That's not how it works on the Fly Team.

OK, how does it work on the Fly Team?

Working internationally is hard enough.

A rogue move like the one you pulled

is how this team gets disbanded and sent home.

And as Europol liaison, it is my responsibility

to ensure that everyone operates

within the guidelines and boundaries

that have been set forth.

If you would like to investigate this solo,

I suggest you put in for your PI license, have a go.

British?

Well, I just want to make sure,

because I met an Irish guy once,

and I called him British,

and he just about broke a beer mug over my head, so...

- British. - OK.

My motto happens to be the same

as the British Special Air Service's.

Do you know what it is?

- "Who Dares Wins." - Yeah!

Besides, Megan, by the time any paperwork about me

hits your desk, I'm going to be back in LA.

I'll be out of your hair.

We got something.

Is this a good time?

Yes.

Uh, we did a deeper dive on Barany and Bako.

Both had criminal records,

which should have negated their ability

to get tourist visas to the U.S.

Consequently, we looked at Darlene Simonds,

head of Consular Affairs, who facilitated their visas.

Two months ago, she paid 200,000 euros

for a villa in Cyprus... all cash transaction.

She's on the payroll. Let's go see her.

Csonka's psych report from prison is a pretty good read.

- Mm. - He was diagnosed with

intermittent explosive disorder.

Multiple incidents where he completely lost control,

triggered by the slightest provocation.

Reacted aggressively and impulsively

if he felt threatened or cornered.

Mm-hmm.

And pattern of making rash decisions under pressure.

- No way. - What?

He was at Central Juvenile Hall in 2004.

It's in Lincoln Heights. I was there in '98 and '99.

You had to be on your toes in Central.

Sorry, Darlene went home early today.

Thank you.

Bloody hell!

Eyes are bloodshot.

No vomit or foaming around the mouth,

which there would be if she OD'd.

And she's holding an empty pill bottle.

She was smothered first.

Whoever killed her tried to stage it like an overdose.

And we got to, uh, pour heavy.

More bottles, more money.

You know, sell some drinks, sell some bottles.

All right, get out of here.

You know, we're not open yet,

and you have no right to be here.

Oh, I greased your guy at the door.

He said we're good.

Can I catch you up to speed?

I'm asking you to leave.

The consular officer was killed.

Maybe you heard a rumor about that one.

She handled the visa interviews for Bako and Barany personally.

The theory is she was wiping criminal records

off their applications in exchange for cash.

- Mm. - Yeah.

Now, this next part is going to affect you personally.

The death of an American government employee,

regardless of her lack of ethics,

is going to put this whole thing

under a magnifying glass.

Well, I don't know anything about it.

Now I'm asking you to leave. Second time now.

OK, so I read in your prison jacket

that you cooperated with law enforcement

for a lesser sentence.

I'm not going to break your balls or anything,

you know, call you a snitch,

'cause I know my job is a hell of a lot easier

when I'm working with a reliable informant.

That's what matters.

So since you bent over for the government once before,

you're more than welcome to cooperate again.

Barany recruited some young men from the youth center.

- He's behind all this. - Mm.

All right, my life is in danger,

and so is the life of anyone else

who gets in his way.

So that intel is worth, like, 5 bucks.

The real money is in you telling me

about your involvement, because I don't believe

for a second you're not the one pulling the strings.

I want you out of my bar right now, OK?

Unclog your ears, cop.

- What are you gonna do? - Wes.

All right, take a walk, or I...

Or what?

- Wes. - Do it right now.

- Let's go. - Hold on. He's having a moment.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Why don't you listen to your sidepiece over there?

- So what do we got? - OK.

So Csonka keeps claiming Barany is behind it, right?

Which means he's serving him up as the fall guy.

But there's no way he expects Barany to hold his mud

in a police interrogation,

so that means Barany is either dead or dying,

or he's about to be killed.

No way Csonka lets this kid live to tell his version.

LA field office raided a warehouse

in Sylmar, California and found stolen goods

traced back to the robbery crew worth around $450,000.

Even if they moved it into an offshore account,

any transaction over $10,000 would get flagged.

- So what's your theory? - Remittances.

Migrants use them to send money back home,

but it's also an easy way to move funds

through unofficial channels.

So how do we determine if someone

received the cash on this end?

If I can track down the money transfer agency

that they used in the States,

I can match the transaction pattern

to funds coming into Budapest.

How long is that going to take?

I'm not sure.

These agencies are pretty unofficial.

We're talking about corner shops

- and currency exchanges. - Doesn't matter.

- Let's get started. - That was the HNP.

They have some info to share on Csonka,

requesting our presence.

Hello,

and, uh, thanks for coming over.

Detective Ambrus, thanks for having us.

Mitchell.

And Greg Csonka, we were told you had an update about him?

We've been looking into Mr. Csonka,

but nothing actionable so far.

Then why would you call us down here?

You've been surveilling Csonka

without proper authorization from our judiciary.

A court order is required for surveillance.

Personal privacy is protected

under the Hungarian Fundamental Law.

Detective Ambrus, the Fly Team

has worked with your department in Budapest for a while...

Leave Csonka alone unless you go through

the proper channels first.

This is a one-time warning.

OK, so you have a very violent ex-con

living in your city who's turning out

some very vulnerable young men

to do his criminal activities for him.

Two Hungarians that we know of, likely more,

are part of a robbery crew that went on a very violent

crime spree in California, where my partner,

Agent Mike Brooks, is still in the hospital

because of a bullet that he took

from one of those Hungarians.

These are facts, these things happened,

and you're warning me?

I am absolutely warning you.

Who do we know above him? Anybody?

Because I'm sure it works the same way out here

like it does back home.

You just call in a favor with whoever has a bigger hammer.

You get that dude to fall in line.

You can't just big-dog it in Europe, Wes.

You have to listen to me, and you have to listen to Smitty.

Wes, there are a different set of rules out here,

and you won't make it unless you wrap your head

around that, OK?

We can still be effective, and we can still get the bad guy,

but our partners out here, they have to be respected.

And if you don't respect them,

then they at least have to be finessed.

Period.

OK.

I trust you.

Let me take this.

- Hey, baby. - Hey.

What's wrong?

Mike didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

There were complications in the follow-up surgery, and...

Wes. Wes.

Did he have any family?

Yeah, two daughters.

April and Emily, 14 and 12.

I'm sorry.

I don't... I don't really know what to say right now.

I understand.

Hey.

Just know you are not alone, OK?

Remember that.

You can lean on me. You can lean on the team.

OK.

The case we're working

is the one Agent Brooks died trying to solve.

Tomorrow morning, LA field office will hold a ceremony,

and he'll be installed in the Hall of Honor.

We'll be dialed in from the conference room,

if any of you want to attend.

Until then, let's make sure we support each other.

Stay focused.

Agent Brooks would want us to keep pushing forward

and bring whoever did this to justice.

We owe that to him.

Amanda, you guys got something?

Yeah.

Uh, we were able to track down the money transfer agency

that the operation used in LA.

There were over a hundred outgoing remittances,

all with falsified sender information,

and their last big transfer before this totaled up to $250,000.

The money was transferred

to a dozen different accounts here in Budapest.

And each account was emptied out just before

it hit the CTR threshold at $10,000.

Who's picking up the cash?

We're still waiting on positive IDs,

but, uh, this woman came in three separate times.

Barany's mother.

I am a simple woman. I don't know what's going on.

We're not buying this act.

You understand we have you on video

withdrawing money for Csonka. You're involved.

I took out small amount of money.

For that, I get 30,000 forint.

I have barely enough to live.

I can't turn that kind of money down.

The money that you withdrew, you gave it to Csonka?

To a man who works for him, I guess.

I don't know. I don't ask these questions.

Where's your son now? Where's Vilmos?

I can't. I can't.

If they find out I talk to police...

Lady, put that down and look at me.

Your son is in a world of hurt.

The agent that he shot back in California, he's dead.

And now there's not a rock on this planet he can hide under.

We will find him,

and you better hope we do before Csonka does.

Csonka is pinning the whole thing on Vilmos.

But that's not true.

We spoke with someone at the U.S. embassy

who was involved, and she was dead a few hours later.

He's taking out everyone who was mixed up in this.

Is Vilmos in hiding?

You have to tell us where he is,

or he will be dead soon.

HNP wants us to wait for them.

Said it should be a couple of minutes.

Now they're saying 20 minutes.

Screw it.

That's him.

Let me see your hands now!

Stop!

You killed him.

Wes!

Your mom is safe at the HNP.

You know, she saved your life by cooperating with us.

Are you going to return the favor?

Well, we can easily keep you here in custody

and release her, if that's what you want.

And do you really think she is safe out there alone,

once Csonka finds out that you've been grabbed up?

Do you want me to answer that for you?

I joined that youth center to get my life on track.

Csonka took me under his wing and made all these promises,

but pretty soon, I owed him.

What happened in Los Angeles, what happened with my life,

it's not what I wanted for myself.

I know what you must think of me.

I can tell. I can see it in your eyes.

But I am not that person.

Whatever happens to me, I want people to know that.

Who's in charge of this whole operation?

Csonka.

He recruited boys from his youth center,

and an old prison buddy from California

took care of things on that end.

Where are the other two that flew out to California?

Dead.

That's what I heard.

Csonka had them silenced when they got back

because we screwed up and got identified.

That's why I disappeared as soon as we landed.

I knew that would happen.

I knew that he would try to kill me too.

Do you believe me?

Do you believe me when I tell you

I'm not this person?

Sure.

Greg Csonka, you're under arrest.

I'm not dealing with you guys.

No one cares how much you donated

to the HNP officer fund.

They knew it was time to lose your number.

Out of my way.

I want to talk to the local cops...

I'll be out in six months, and I'll come looking for you!

- I ain't hard to find. - You'll never see it coming.

Move your ass. Move him.

- That's great news. - Yeah.

He's not talking, but the other guy

is giving up the whole operation,

chapter and verse.

So, uh, look, Wes, I...

I wanted to talk to you about something.

OK.

I've been talking to someone, a professional,

and I just...

I just don't think that what we have is healthy

for either of us.

I just... I need... I need some healing time.

I need to... to speak my truth and to find my joy.

You don't have to quote your shrink.

If you're done, just say you're done.

I'm... I'm done.

I just thought it would be cleaner

to do it while you were away.

It would have been too hard in person.

I've already packed up.

Yeah? Where's my stuff, on the front yard again?

OK, look, I-I'm sorry.

And after I did that, I was like, "This isn't me.

I don't even recognize myself."

No, I get it.

If you need anyone to talk to,

I can still be there for that.

Take care of yourself, Ella. I mean it.

I'll always love you.

Good to know.

Bye, Wes.

So what's next for you?

That's funny you should ask.

Uh, work on my short game, head back for Mike's memorial,

and then after that, who knows?

You know, you gave me some great advice one time.

It was back in Seattle, and you said,

"You can make your own plan

or be a part of someone else's plan."

I read that on a teabag.

Well, regardless, you know, maybe it's time for a change.

What would that change look like?

You run the Fly Team.

Look, McKintrick is on the wine and cheese circuit.

I have nothing to learn from him,

and I'm not on this job to dick around.

What we do out here really matters.

The people on this team, they really matter.

And I want to hunt the bad guys,

not a great bottle of pinot noir

and another photo for my wall.

Why didn't you put in for the job yourself?

Because I am not GS-14 and supervisory special agent.

Yet.

But you are.

And besides, I still love being a case agent.

Yes, one day I will transition to management, but not today.

Look, we can call International Operations

at Hoover and ask for you to be directly placed into the job.

It can be that easy.

The others are on board.

Even Smitty.

What this team needs is a leader,

and not a tourist.

You know, I called it with you.

Day one, I was like, "This agent is going places."

And look at you. Here you are.

You're proving me right.

And I love that you still have that righteous resolve.

Don't ever lose that, Cam.

It's tough to get back if you do.
