DR. TANAKA:
I wish I had something
more concrete to tell you.

Everything appears normal.

You're sure.

We found no irregularities
in your brain scans,

and comprehensive testing of any
residual drugs in your system

all came back clean.

It's just the nightmares

I've been having are intense.

Well, you were tortured, Dwayne.

Exposed to powerful
hallucinogens.

The truth is,
there's still a lot

we don't understand
about these drugs.

Yeah, but there must be some way
to get the nightmares to stop.

Fill the prescription
I gave you.

Take the sleeping pills.

Can't risk it. Never know
when I might get called out.

You also can't risk

going weeks without
a good night's sleep.

It's dangerous
physically and mentally.

And you threw that prescription
away, didn't you?

It's always the same people.

A victim from
a past case,

a guy in a red suit.

Think it means something?

Maybe but not necessarily.

Just remember,
it is not the dream

telling you something,
it's you telling yourself.

[phone beeping]

[sighs]

It's Loretta.

I need to go.

Tell her I said hi.
Yeah.

Dwayne.

You're just gonna toss it
again, aren't you?

Well, if the sleeping issues
persist, come back.

We could try some more...

innovative options.

Sure.

Thanks.

It's from 1998.

Uh, case 5-3-6-4.

[mouths]

Yes, I need
the M.E. reports

and any evidence in storage

as soon as possible, please.

Thank you.

'98... year we met.

You were still
a Jefferson Parish sheriff.

And you took over this place,

changing everything

and getting everyone's
feathers ruffled.

I did make a lot
of old men mad, didn't I?

Progress usually does.

You looking into a case?

The first we worked together.

Ashley Griffin.

Teenager who went missing,

was found dead
a few days later.

Jerrod Wallis
was still officially

the M.E. at that point,

so it was his case.

He confirmed that
a baseball bat found

with the body
was the murder weapon.

But he couldn't tie it
to our prime suspect.

Elliot Whitman.

You remembering all this
from over 20 years ago?

I wish. No.

I got a call from NYPD.

They currently have
Elliot Whitman in custody.

He's in New York?
Evidently,

there was a fire
in his apartment.

And the firefighters
broke through a wall

and discovered this
hidden in the vent.

Elliot Whitman is still flagged
as a person on interest

in the Ashley Griffin murder,

so they tested for DNA.

Yeah, they're hers, Dwayne.

He kept them all these years.

He claims he had no idea
that box was in the vent.

Yeah, he's a good liar.
Always was.

Well, we still
have to prove it.

And they don't have enough
to hold him for very long.

I told NYPD that I would
look through the autopsy

and forensic files,

see if there was anything
I could find to help.

You know I had to cancel
a trip to New York

a couple weeks ago.

Laurel must have been
very disappointed.

Sounds like this might be
a perfect time for a visit.

Yeah, when's the, uh,

the next training course
taking place?

Okay, and what's the deadline
to apply for the opening?

Got a hit
on his credit card.
Oh.

Oh, sorry.
[stammering]

That's-that's great,
that's all I needed to know.

Thank you. Bye.

What are you applying for?

Huh? I am applying...

for a refi on my house,
'cause these rates,

I'm telling you,
they're dynamite.

Did you say you
found your brother?
Not yet.

But Cade used
one of his credit cards

outside of Mobile yesterday,
so he didn't go far.

Has Patton got a
hit on his cell?

Been off-line
for a week now.

And he hasn't reached out
to the girlfriend at all?

Not since he left her

and her son at that motel.

Man, it's just, it's weird
that they don't know why

he hid them away like that.

Well, that's why I brought 'em
back with me.

Figured they'd be safer

at my place
until I find him.

Yeah, well, you know,
I got an old PS3

and some games I don't play
anymore if the kid gets bored.

Bored? I live right on the
water, he can fish for hours.

Yeah, you're right. I should
probably give you my Xbox, too.

Any other witnesses?

What is that,
a new case?

Actually, it's an old one.

Murder Pride was involved with
20 years ago.

16-year-old, Ashley Griffin.

Daughter of the dean at a local
school for troubled kids.

Guy they thought killed her
was the same age.

HANNAH:
Elliot Whitman.

He was a student at
the Fresh Start Academy

where her dad worked.

Witness saw him follow Ashley

the day she went missing.

Four days later,
her body was found

in a shed a couple of miles
from campus.

HANNAH:
She was severely beaten.

Time of death indicates
that she was kept alive

until the morning
the body was discovered.

No sign of sexual assault,
though.

So the killer left her alive
just to terrorize her?

Maybe he was
working up the nerve.

Pride was at JPSO then.

I didn't know
he was on this case.

Another sheriff was
the lead investigator.

Pride was just
brought in to assist.

Case fell apart not long
after that, though.

Whitman maintained
his innocence,

and there wasn't
any hard evidence.

Why bring it up now?Because Pride

just got one more shot
at this jerk.

PRIDE:
Hey, Laurel, it's Dad.

Grabbing something
to eat sounds great.

I'll keep you posted
on my schedule.

Can't wait to see you.[horn honking]

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, thanks so much.

Special Agent Pride?

Mm. Lieutenant Baker.

Thanks for opening
your doors.

We are happy for any assistance
you can give.

Whitman still in custody?

Uh, for now.

But he claims he didn't know
the box was in that vent.

Unfortunately, we were unable

to find his prints
or DNA on the box

or the items inside.

Which means he's
being careful.Well, it's working.

Right now we don't have anything
that'll hold up in court.

Mind if I talk to him?

He's in interrogation
with one of my detectives.

Maybe you can get more
out of him than we have.

You understand why I'm finding
this hard to believe, right?

I don't know how many times
I can say it, Detective.

I have never seen
any of that stuff before.

Mm. So who is this mysterious
person you believe

is hiding things
in your apartment?[knocking on door]

Hmm?

Sorry for the intrusion,
Cabrera.

I got somebody here
who'd like a word.

This is
Special Agent Dwayne Pride

with NCIS.

You remember me, Mr. Whitman?

[crying]

No, please.

You've got to keep him away.

You can't leave me alone
with him, please.

CABRERA:
Okay, okay.

He'll hurt me again,
just like the last time.

CABRERA:
Mr. Whitman.

Agent Pride.

Out!Keep him away from me!

So, you screwed up your case
20 years ago

and now you're about
to screw up mine?BAKER: Cabrera.

First off,
I never touched Whitman.

And he knows that.

But somebody did.

I was brought in
to the case late.

The lead was Frank McTeague,
a good cop.

30 years on the job,

but he got obsessed
with Whitman.

Let it get personal.

Was there any physical evidence
tying Whitman to the murder?

No, just one witness who'd seen
him following Ashley.

That's pretty thin.

Which Elliot Whitman knew.

He was arrogant.

Taunted McTeague about how

he was gonna walk free.

Frank knew he needed
a confession.

So he tried to beat it
out of him.

Detective, enough.

He's right.

Whitman kept at McTeague

until he finally snapped.

I never should have
left them alone.

I broke it up,
but-but the damage was done.

Whitman's family
threatened to sue.

D.A. dropped the case.

We had to let him go.

Well, it's not gonna
happen here.

We got this, Lou.

Cabrera,
you're good but green.

Someone offers to assist

with as much experience
as Special Agent Pride,

you take that help.

We can hold Whitman on suspicion
for another 24 hours, tops.

We don't find something
more concrete,

he is going to walk again.

Show him what we got.

All I want is justice
for Ashley Griffin.

It's been a long time coming.

It's not just Ashley.

Truth is, it's
a lucky break

we got Whitman
in custody at all.

The fire.

It started
in the neighbor's apartment.

When the firefighters
broke through the wall,

they found the box.

These were in the box, too?

CABRERA:
With Ashley's underwear.

Any DNA?

Nothing.
These three were wiped clean.

You know what I think they are?

Trophies.

Yeah.

Which means
that Whitman killed

at least three other women
over the last 20 years.

HANNAH:
Tell us what you need, Pride.

We need to look at Ashley's
murder with fresh eyes.

Talk to anyone who was at the
school when she was killed.

See what they remember.

I'll start tracking 'em down.

PRIDE:
Sebastian.

Loretta has all the evidence
from the '98 investigation.

Can you give her a hand?

Yeah, sure.
We'll put everything underneath

a 2019 microscope.

Okay. And we got some new leads.

NYPD forwarded you
everything they have

on three items found
in the same box

where Whitman kept
Ashley's undergarment.

GREGORIO:
All women's things.

What, do you think they're
trophies from other kills?PRIDE: I do.

But we need to prove it.

Connect them to
specific murders.

And then connect Whitman
to these victims.We should look

for similar crimes in places
where Whitman lived or worked.

Yeah, that's a good
place to start.

I'm gonna check out
his apartment,

but I'm reachable

if you find anything.

Most serial killers stick
to the same hunting grounds,

but Whitman's moved around a lot
in the last 20 years.

Then we'd
better start digging.

Yeah.

[exhales]

Oh. Hey, Chris.

We weren't expecting you back
till tonight.

Oh, I'm not staying.
I just wanted to drop
off some groceries.

Saw the pantry
was getting low.

Aw, that's sweet.
But I actually went shopping.

I didn't want you to have
to go to any trouble.

Did you find Cade yet?

I didn't.

But he did use his
credit card yesterday

just outside of Mobile.

At least that means he's okay.

My buddy's a cop
out there.

He's gonna stop by the store,

see if he can find
anything useful.

KELLY:
Whatever's going on,

it must be pretty bad
for him to just...

leave us like that.

I love my brother,

but, uh...

he's had a
troubled road.

Struggled
with some mental issues.

I know. He told me
about his bipolar disorder.

Yeah.

Wouldn't be the first time
he just... took off.

Cade wouldn't abandon us.

He wouldn't.

So I'll keep looking.

Thank you again for everything.

No problem.

You okay?

Yeah.

You must be worried.

I hear you and Cade
get along pretty well.

I mean, he's cool.

And he's been teaching me
to shoot three-pointers.

[chuckles softly]

I remember him draining those
from the corner.

He still got a shot?

Oh, yeah.

Look, if there's anything you
think I should know about Cade,

it could stay between us.

I don't.

You sure?

Look, I said I didn't. Okay?

♪

[boat horn blowing]

[car horns honking]

How'd it start?

Grease fire
in the neighbor's kitchen.

She tried to put it out
with water,

so it spread.Was Whitman home
at the time?

No. Probably
the only reason

the box was still in the vent

when the firefighters arrived.

DISPATCH [over radio]:
Unit 14, clear.

Expensive setup.

CABRERA:
Oh, yeah. Guessing he spends

most of his time here.

Far as we can tell,
Whitman has no friends

or family he stays
in touch with.

You get access to his phone,
social media accounts?

CABRERA:
Our Crime Center's combing
through all that now.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Appreciate you
looping my team in, too.

NYPD's the largest
force in the nation.

There's nothing your team can do
that we can't.

You might be surprised.NADINE:
Ma, don't.

What am I supposed to do,
live in a hotel room for
the rest of my life?

You a cop?Detective.

Great.

When are you gonna be done?

When we're done.The super said

he won't fix the wall
until you people say it's okay.

Excuse me, ma'am.

You live next door?Yeah. And If you

haven't noticed, I have
a giant hole in the wall.Ma.

You have much interaction
with Elliot Whitman?

Yeah.

None of it good.

Five times
I called management on him.

Leaving his trash
in the hall.

Watching sicko videos so loud

you can hear through the walls.He's a creep.

He's always hanging out
in the halls, staring at me

when I come visit Ma.

Sometimes I won't even come in
if he's in town.

How often
is he gone?

Not often enough.

A few weeks at a time
every now and then.

I'll tell you what,

we're gonna make
some calls.

See if we can't get you cleared
to start fixing that wall.

Thanks.

At least somebody gets it.

NADINE:
Thank you.

Really know how to work
that Southern charm, don't you?

Being polite don't cost a thing.

We need to find out where and
when Whitman took those trips.

Try and connect him
to other murders.

It's still circumstantial.
We don't have his prints

or DNA on the box,
and he claims it isn't his.

Whitman is careful,

but we're smart.

We just need to stay focused,

build this case
one piece at a time.

[sighs]

NCIS! On the ground!

Stay down!

Stay down!

Very exciting.Hey.

Don't you have evidence
to be testing?

Yeah, and I'm totally,
uh, almost done with it.

Isn't that

the NCIS REACT team?

Yeah, it is.
You-you know 'em?

They're...
they're amazing.

They handle our most
dangerous situations.

Active shooters.

Violent felon takedowns.

What's this about?

I'm actually thinking
of applying.

To REACT?

Yeah, what do you think?

It's a terrible idea.

You're a scientist, not that.

Well... man, tell me
how you reallyfeel.

Well, I can't even believe
you're considering it.

Now...

What did you find
with the evidence?

Not much.

Even using today's
Mass Spectrometer,

I didn't detect any DNA.

So...

we've got nothing to help Pride.

Well, now, I
didn't say that.

Uh, when you reviewed
these autopsy photos,

you found some
inconsistencies, right?

Yes, uh, contusion patterns

and the positioning of
the radial fractures.Yeah, well, something

was definitely off, so I
scanned it all into the system,

and the computer is now
enhancing all the images,

creating an HD replica
of the wounds.[beep]

And you have
perfect timing.

Now, that's excellent,
Sebastian.

There.

Can you zoom in?
Yeah.

The brain pattern

matches the wood bat
they found at the scene.

The other
one has a...

crosshatched pattern.

I think it's fiberglass.

Which would mean that there
wasn't just one murder weapon.

There were two.

PRIDE:
Uh... interesting.

LAUREL:
I guess.

It's an assistant
manager position

in Special Events.

Ah, well, that sounds
like a promotion.

You gonna take it?

No, which is exactly what
I told you two minutes ago.

Sorry, my mind wandered.

You can't blame
yourself, Dad.

That sheriff was
your senior officer.

And if I kept my eye on him...

Whitman might not have walked

and three more woman
might still be alive today.

You said this guy was
some kind of legend

in the department, right?

Yeah, a lot of what I know
about investigating,

I learned from Frank McTeague.

So how exactly were you
supposed to stop him?

By not believing
such an obvious lie.

How'd he get you
out of the room?

He told me to get the kid a soda
and something to eat.

That sounds pretty
legit to me.

But I knew how much McTeague
hated Whitman by then.

I should have figured out
what he was planning.

You weren't his
babysitter, Dad.

[scoffs]
Honey...

CABRERA:
Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt.

You must be Laurel.

PRIDE:
Honey...

Detective Cabrera.

David.

[beeping]Place was my suggestion.

Hope it's okay.

It's perfect.

You have excellent taste.

Only the best

for Special Agent Pride.

We have such respect

for your father.Is there something

I can help you with,
Cabrera?

I have been working
with your team in New Orleans.

Mm-hmm.I like that, uh...

uh, Gregorio?

[chuckles]
She reminds me of my sister.

She's a real ballbuster.

You might want to keep
that comparison to yourself.

[laughs]

Nah. She gets me.

Anyway, they identified murders
in three other states

that they think they can connect
to the items in Whitman's box.

All with the same M.O.

You okay hearing this?

I'm a cop's kid;
nothing shocks me.

I was a cop's kid, too.

We should...
compare notes sometime.

Okay. Cabrera.

Anyway...

three murders, same M.O.

Women abducted,
kept alive for several days,

then beat to death
and dumped.

All right, so we need to get
Whitman's travel information.We got it

from his e-mails, calendars.

We can place him
a couple hours' drive
from all three.

Well, that's enough
to arrest him, right?

Should be.Problem is,

we got more
than we bargained for.

Your team didn't just find
those three.

They found four more.

Four additional murders?

Almost identical.

Women kept alive
for several days, then killed,

all across the U.S.

Only Whitman...

he was nowhere near
those other four.

He couldn't have done it.

Well, that fits in
with our M.E.'s analysis

of Ashley Griffin's murder.

She says that two weapons

were used.

Blows were delivered

from opposite directions
with different levels of force.

Two killers.

And one of 'em's
still out there.

Laurel's new place is-is great.

It's really charming.

WADE:
So, smaller than a closet,

louder than a rock concert?

That's right.

Really has that
New York...

[horn honking]feel.

Hey, nothing
in the evidence

to identify the second killer?

No.

Sebastian ran
everything collected

at the time for DNA
but didn't get any hits.

Yeah, well, maybe...

Hank Griffin...

can point us

to someone.

Ashley's father?

Yeah. He, uh,
he just got back into town.

Hannah and Chris are
heading there to talk to him,

see if he can tell us
who Whitman

was close to
at the school.Well, if they've got

a name and it's in the system,

we can run it
against our forensic files.

That sounds like a plan.
Thanks, Loretta.

That count
as cyberstalking, or...?

Dad, this is...
vetting.

He's your partner.

Temporary partner.

Just looking out for you,
like I always do.

You seem to be blushing
just a tad.

Mm...

[chuckles]

GRIFFIN:
If those idiot sheriffs
hadn't have blown it,

he'd be sitting in a cell
right now.

Everybody knew
that Elliot was guilty.

You think they actually might be
able to get him this time?

[sighs]

We don't know.

And I promise you,
we'll do our best,

Mr. Griffin.

That snake has been
walking free...

[voice breaking]:
for 20 years.

While my little baby's...

Sorry.

LASALLE:
We read all the
original interviews,

but we're trying to get a
fuller picture of Whitman.

When he came to Fresh Start,

he wasn't much different
than the other students.

Mother was alcoholic.

Father wanted nothing
to do with him.

Sounds like he was dealt
a pretty rough hand.

A lot of people are.

That's no excuse
for bad behavior.

Elliot was sneaky

and manipulative.

Thought he was so much smarter
than everybody else.

Your school used
some rather controversial

disciplinary methods.

You know?

Solitary confinement.
Shaved heads.

Corporal punishment.

When it
was called for.

Yes.

Our job was
to turn those kids around.

He have any issues
with Ashley

prior to her disappearance?

Not that I knew of.

Ashley didn't go to Fresh Start,

but...

she was on campus
visiting me a lot.

And there would have been
plenty of opportunities

for them to have interacted.

Is there anyone you can
think of that Whitman

was close to?No.

His arrogance didn't
make him any friends

with the faculty or students.

Spent most
of his time alone.

Though I think...

he talked to Parker
Lacey sometimes.

Who's Parker Lacey?

He was Elliot's peer mentor
when he first arrived

and one
of our success stories.

The program

really worked for Parker.

Was he at the school
when Ashley disappeared?

No, he graduated a
couple years earlier.

But Parker always kept
in touch with Elliot.

I was impressed
by that,

because the two of 'em couldn't
have been more different.

What do you mean?

Elliot was antisocial.

Always had his head
in a computer.

And Parker,

he was popular with everybody.

He was a hell
of an athlete, too.

He happen to play baseball?

Actually, he was captain
of the school team.

GREGORIO:
So, this Parker Lacey
went to Fresh Start

for anger management issues.

Got into a lot of fights
at his old school.

Lives in Cincinnati with
his wife and two kids.

He's never been arrested.

What's your problem?

I'm thinking of applying to...

be a part of the REACT team.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah.Huh.

Well, I'm thinking of applying
to the Royal Ballet.

Maybe we'll both get lucky.
[chuckles softly]

[sighs]

Nugget.

Wait, you're serious?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Never thought...

Well, never mind.

REACT? Really?

What? Why?

Why does everyone
respond like that?

You got to admit,
it's a little unexpected.

Yeah, well,
I've been growing

as a field agent
the last two years.

I mean...And you're great,

but REACT is on a
whole other level.

Like, why the sudden interest?

I don't know.
I guess, uh, sometimes,

I just feel like I'm the...

little brother.

You know? Like I'm this geek
that's surrounded

by all these people
with all this experience.

I just--
I want to be able to stand

on my own two feet.You know how
much we love

and respect you, right?

You don't have to prove
anything to any of us.

[phone rings]

It's Pride.

Hey.

Hey. Looking good, Brooklyn.

Bite me, Jersey.

What's up?

Cincinnati cops
bringing Lacey or what?

Went by his home and office,
but he's gone.

Wife said he took off
for a fishing trip.

Supposedly unreachable.

That's convenient.Yeah.

Well, we have something
that might help.

Parker Lacey works
as an energy consultant

for a lot of municipal
government agencies.

GREGORIO:
Means a lot of his travel

is a matter of public record.

SEBASTIAN:
Right, so,

here are
the four murders we found

that match the M.O.

but for which Whitman
has alibis.

And here are the cities

where Parker Lacey was working

at the time those murders
were committed.

All close enough to drive.

That's good work.

There's more.

No wonder you love these guys.

Thank you.
So, the woman

who was killed in Mississippi
was married

to a systems manager that worked

at the same company
as Elliot Whitman.

Yeah, turns out
that the husband fired Whitman

four months
before his wife was killed.

One of 'em feels wronged,
the other one gets even?

Yeah, and whichever one has
a connection to the victim,

that's the one who has
a solid alibi for the murder.

But they didn't kill the
husband-- they killed his wife.

GREGORIO:
No, but you had to see
this poor guy on the news

when she went missing.
He was a mess.

Which is exactly what
Whitman and Lacey intended.

They enjoy

making their real
targets suffer.

That's why they keep the victims
alive for several days.

Means Ashley wasn't
the original target.

Her father was.

All right.

Keep digging
into Lacey.

See if we
can track him down.

All right.All right.

These two are sick.

They probably get off on the
planning and the anticipation

as much as
the killing.

Why hasn't Whitman asked
for a lawyer?

CABRERA:
He said

he didn't need one
because he's innocent.

Maybe because he wants
to be in custody.

Perfect alibi

when another murder happens
with the same M.O.

Yeah. Worked for 'em
every time before.

It's why we can't
find Lacey.

That bastard's taking
another victim.

Where is she, Whitman?

Hmm?

Who?

You know damn well who.

Nadine Schiff.

Your neighbor's daughter.
Same neighbor

that complained about you
to building management.

That piss you off? Huh?

That why you went after her?

I'm confused.

Did something happen
to Nadine?

We just got word she never
made it home last night.

WHITMAN:
Oh.

That doesn't sound good.

But I've been right here
with you.

You son of a bitch.
If Lacey hurts her, I...

Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

Don't give him
the satisfaction.

[exhales]

Lacey?

I knew a-a Parker Lacey
back in high school.

Haven't spoken
in almost 20 years, though.

But I'm happy to hear
that you've identified

the real killer.

Does that mean that you're
gonna be letting me go now?

Pride.

I got Parker Lacey's photo
to every cop in the state.

I just heard Nadine Schiff's
car was found abandoned

outside the city.

Yeah. CSU's on the way.

See if they can recover
anything useful.

She could
already be dead.

I don't think so.

To get Whitman in the clear,

they need to stick
to the established M.O.

Right? Keep her
alive for a while.

But he could be
hiding her anywhere.

Not easy to hide victims
the way they've managed to

over the years.

Especially not with everyone
on high alert looking for 'em.

But they did it

at least eight times
that we know about.

Lacey works

as an energy
consultant.

Perfect cover
for travel.

Bet it also allows him access
to restricted information.

Maps of utility buildings,

pipe and tunnel
networks.

New York has hundreds of miles
of utility tunnels.

If he's got Nadine down there,
we'll never find her.

Get in touch with Con Ed
and any other utility companies.

Have 'em check
for security breaches.

I'll have my team
look into

Lacey's
work history,

see if they can
find anything.

I'm beginning
to understand why

your Sheriff McTeague beat
the hell out of this guy.

Any luck narrowing down where
Lacey might be hiding Nadine?

Not yet.
I got his credentials,

but he hasn't accessed
anything compromising.

Keep looking.

Nadine's running
out of time.

GREGORIO:
Hey. Brianna's sister has

a picture of her wearing
the bracelet.

Get us a copy of it.

Can you e-mail me
that photo?

It'd be really helpful.

Thank you.

That the bracelet they found
in Whitman's apartment?

Yep. Just got confirmation
it belongs to Brianna Robbins.

She have any connection
to Lacey?

Yeah. Brianna's
boyfriend at the time

went to college
with him.

Evidently, he
replaced Lacey

as starting pitcher
on the school team.

So they killed
the dude's girlfriend?

[scoffs]

Man, we got to nail these punks.

I got it, Roy, thanks.

Will,

what's going on?

Where's your mom?

She's not here.

I just came to talk to you.

Well, we can talk.

Let's go back here.

Come on.

What's up?

Hey, whatever
you got to say,

you can trust me.

Cade disappearing...

I think it was my fault.

I'm listening.

I was just trying
to make some money.

You know?

So I started
delivering packages.

Drugs.

I didn't take any
or anything.

I was just picking 'em up
and dropping 'em off.

You get into some kind
of trouble?

My backpack got stolen.

It had one of the
packages in it.

Said I owed them $10,000.

You tell Cade about this?

He said he'd help, you know,
that he'd make things right.

Then he put us
in the motel.

He never came back.

Con Ed doesn't have security
cameras in most of the tunnels.

But we got uniforms checking
as many access points as we can.

[phone rings]

You find something, Hannah?

Well, Sebastian did.

Lacey's way too smart
to use his company I.D.

for anything related
to the murder, right?

So I checked for I.D.s that
didaccess that information,

the cities
where the murders took place

during those time frames,
and one popped.

But that I.D. doesn't seem
to belong to a real person.

Lacey created it.

SEBASTIAN:
The last time the I.D. was used

was yesterday morning. It...

it accessed a New York
tunnel system in Midtown.

All right, send me
the exact location, Sebastian.

He's in Midtown.

We need to roll.

Everybody, let's go!

[siren wailing]

Con Ed said there are seven
other secured entrances

in the schematics
Lacey pulled.

Gonna need the rest
of 'em opened.Already happening.

We have teams searching the
tunnels from every entrance.

Make sure everyone's advised

that we need
to take Lacey alive.

If we don't get 'em
to turn on each other,

Whitman could
still walk free.

Thank you.

[electrical buzzing]

Hey.

[Nadine crying]

NADINE:
Don't. No.

Please don't.It's okay if you
want to scream.

Be as loud as you want.

No!NCIS! Drop it, Lacey!

Back away!

[crying]

Stay with her!

Hey. Okay, I'm gonna get you

out of here.[crying]

NCIS! Stop!

[horns honking]

[siren wailing]

Out of the way!
Federal agent!

Get out of the way!

[car horn honks]

Get out of the way!

Watch it, buddy.

[truck horn blares][bystanders gasp]

[tires squeal]

[indistinct crowd chatter]

[siren chirps]

So, Whitman's
gonna walk.

He's not out yet.

He'll insist it was all Lacey.

And with Lacey dead, there's
no one to contradict him.

If only I caught up
to him sooner.

You do this a lot, don't you?

Beat yourself up over things
you have no control of?

Give it 20 years, kid.

Imagine by then,

a good cop like you
will have plenty

to beat yourself up over.

We know
the bracelet belonged

to Brianna Robbins of Nashville.

My team connected
the ring from the box

to Janet Sutton,
killed in Detroit.

But even placing him close
to these murders,

it's still circumstantial.

Without a confession,
we don't have a case.

Whitman doesn't know
that Lacey's dead yet, does he?

No. Soon as he does,

figure he'll finally ask
for that lawyer.

Get Whitman back up
in interrogation.

I need to talk to him again...
alone.

[door opens]

[sighs]

Have you found
poor Nadine yet?

In fact, we did.

She's with her mother now.

She's okay?

Mm-hmm.Well, that's...

It's good news.Yeah, even better news

is that we got Parker Lacey
in custody now.

He says that you believe that

the two of you
are good friends?

We are. Uh, were...

back when I knew him.

Well, I-I'm afraid
he doesn't have much nice

to say about you now.

Word he used was

"pathetic."

Parker would never call me that.

According to Lacey,
this friendship

was all in your head.

You were just a lonely kid,

maybe a little bit
obsessed with him?

Lacey says that you committed
all the murders,

but he admits that he helped.

He said that
you threatened

to kill his wife and
kids if he didn't.

He wouldn't talk to you.

Well, he's not like you,
Whitman.

He has a life,

family that-that loves him.

[laughing]:
He's throwing you under
the bus in exchange

for a deal that means
that he'll get out in time

to have some more good years
with them.

[laughs]

You're lying.

He gave us names,
locations.

Told us all about...

Brianna Robbins.

Evidently, her
boyfriend took

Lacey's spot as pitcher
on his college baseball team.

When he told
you about it,

you killed
Brianna in some

twisted effort to get Parker
to like you, or...?

He... he said it was my idea?

Yeah. He-he told us

you did it with a...
a woman in Detroit

in 2010.

Another desperate attempt
for his attention.

Look, I never
needed his attention.

We were friends,
we shared the same interests.

Killing innocent people

is not much
to build a friendship on.

But I guess you're
learning that now.

[knocking]

Yeah.

What you got?Sorry to interrupt.

Just want to let you know
the D.A.'s with Lacey now.

Should be wrapping
up soon.

Good.

You were one sick kid.

Forcing him to watch you
beat Ashley like that.

That's not how it happened!

It was all his idea.

He hated Dean Griffin
for what he did to us.

And the only person
that the dean ever cared about

was Saint Ashley.

And so we took her from him.

Hmm, I just heard
from Pride.

Elliot Whitman
has been arrested

for the murder
of Ashley Griffin.

Oh, it's great news.

Uh-huh. You need a hand?

No, I got it.
Ah.

Is everything
all right?

You know what?
No, it's not.

I'm gonna apply to
this REACT team, okay?

And I don't really
care if you think

that that's a-a terrible idea.

You know, my whole life, I've
been the science nerd, the geek.

Which is fine. That's cool.
I love being a geek.

But-but NCIS has
made me realize

that I can... I can be
something more, too,

you know, and I want to
know if I can do this.

I don't have anything to prove
to anybody other than myself.

And I've been
training really hard,

and I'm ready to do
this, so... there.

Good, because that's
the confidence you're gonna need

to get through
the application tests.

You're a very sneaky
person, you know that?

Can't wait
to see how it goes.

Good.

Miss Loretta?

Chris, what's wrong?

[sighs]
It's Cade.

Got some new information,
and I think he's in trouble.

I'm so sorry.Yeah, I'm headed

to Alabama to look into it.

[sighs]

Nobody's heard from him in days.

If it's not
too much trouble,

could you look
for any John Does?

Uh, of course.

I'll, uh, contact the coroners
and M.E.s around Mobile,

see if there's anyone that
matches Cade's description.[phone ringing]

It's Pride.

I'm gonna fill him in.Yeah.

I'll say a prayer
for your brother.

Thank you. I got a feeling
he could use it.

King.

PRIDE:
Of course. Take as long
as you need.

Finding your brother's
the priority.

Oh, and, Chris,
take Sebastian with you.

No, no, no, we'll be fine.

If there's trouble,
I want you to have backup.

Yeah, keep me updated.

Hey, honey. Great idea.

I thought we could take a walk
down to the West Village.

As long as I'm with you,
I don't care where we go.[laughs]

You need relish?

Uh, no, just
mustard's fine.

Hey, Pride.Hey.

You want a dog?Uh...

no, no, I'm okay.

You don't mind
the extra company, do you?
