00:01Previously on The Rookie Feds...
00:03This is our target, Tobias Kazan.
00:05He runs the largest fentanyl syndicate in the Southland.
00:08That's his wife, Cora.
00:09They've been married 21 years.
00:11That's his daughter, Elise.
00:13She's a little ratchet.
00:14Out of my way! She's my daughter!
00:16Your daughter is the prime suspect in her own kidnapping
00:19and the kidnapping of Kellen Fillmore
00:21and for the murder of Tony Eakins.
00:24You came at me through my kid.
00:26I won't forget that.
00:27If I were you, I'd get her a really good lawyer.
00:29As far as Tobias goes, we'll get him.
00:32One day.
00:34My darling, finally we are together.
00:37And on Valentine's Day.
00:39An ocean couldn't keep us apart, Loretta.
00:43It's fate.
00:44I don't know if it's the champagne,
00:46but my head is spinning.
00:49I mean, just six weeks ago,
00:51you were a clipmate's profile.
00:54And now I'm sitting across from the love of my life.
00:59God, she always lays it on so thick.
01:01You know, you men love your compliments.
01:03Whenever you're ready.
01:04No, no, no. I'll take it.
01:05Oh.
01:06You know, that pains me.
01:07It's just that my enemies have tied up my fortune
01:10with their frivolous lawsuits.
01:12But as soon as I am victorious,
01:14I am taking you to Firenze Italia.
01:18Mama mia.
01:20Until then, I got it.
01:22I know you're good for it.
01:23You're doing great, Simone,
01:24but pretending to be a rich man and taking gifts
01:26is not a crime.
01:27Remember to get him a wire fraud.
01:28He has to ask for money for his fake corporation,
01:30which you need to send,
01:31and he has to accept.
01:33You got him on the hook, so let's reel him in.
01:35What's the matter, darling?
01:36Is everything okay?
01:37Well, I told you, coming here is dangerous.
01:40That's why I have to travel covertly.
01:42Is there anything I can do?
01:44A slight injection of funds right now
01:46would help me stay one step ahead of my enemies.
01:49Of course.
01:50How much do you need?
01:51$25,000 should more than suffice.
01:54Okay.
01:55Where should I send it, my love?
01:57My company's account should be easiest.
02:00Ah.
02:01Got it.
02:03You, my dear, are a lifesaver.
02:06And you, my dear, are under arrest.
02:10FBI, sweet thing.
02:12Come back here!
02:14Oh!
02:15Oh!
02:16Oh!
02:17Oh!
02:18Oh!
02:19Oh!
02:20Oh!
02:21Oh!
02:22Oh!
02:23Oh!
02:24Oh!
02:25Oh!
02:26Oh!
02:27Oh!
02:28Oh!
02:29Oh!
02:30Oh!
02:31Oh!
02:32Oh!
02:38Give me your car.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Oh!
02:42Oh!
02:43FBI!
02:44We got this.
02:45No, I do, Naomi Voss, LAPD.
02:47Captain, I had no idea they were working this case, but I made the arrest.
02:59Don't let them do this.
03:02Yes, sir.
03:06I bust my ass for months to get close to the clipmates, Casanova, and you bogart my arrest?
03:09Her case takes priority.
03:10I got on to this guy after he played a widow's lonely heart and conned her out of 100 grand.
03:15And I found five other women he scammed from here to Dubai.
03:17I've got files, interviews.
03:18That all sounds great.
03:19Now, please, send it over when you get a chance.
03:24You're not interested in his romance scam.
03:27You're on to him for something else.
03:29Detective Voss, I do appreciate all of the hard work that you're doing.
03:32You want to blow me off?
03:33Fine.
03:34This man has ruined women's lives.
03:35Whatever you're up to, you better do right with.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Hey.
03:40Hey.
03:41My name is Simone, and I'm sorry about what happened back there.
03:46Just tell me you snagged him for a good reason.
03:49You didn't hear it from me, but we're after Tobias Kazan.
03:52It's major.
03:53Keep talking.
03:54Well, a few months back, we crippled his operation, but word on the street is he's planning something
03:59big.
04:00What's that got to do with my case?
04:02Tobias tripled his security, so it's been damn near impossible to get to him.
04:06So we've been tracking him through his wife.
04:09He's a Casanova victim.
04:10We'll keep it on the low?
04:12Thanks for the straight answer.
04:20Uh, hold the door, please.
04:22Oh, yeah.
04:23Sorry.
04:24Ooh.
04:25Beautiful flowers.
04:26I can't believe it's, like, the first time in, what, 30 years that I'm not going to
04:30have somebody to love up on for Valentine's Day?
04:33Unlike you, B.
04:34No, Antoinette doesn't like Valentine's Day, so I'm cool.
04:37You're not supposed to do anything for fortune, right?
04:39I mean, we've only gone out a few times.
04:42What?
04:43Being married on Valentine's Day was so much easier.
04:47My wife would lay out all the rules a week before, so I always knew what to do.
04:51Valentine's Day is so lame.
04:52It's just another day of insincere overtures, but all the sheep will continue to fall for
04:56it.
04:57Well, I love it, and there's no shame in my nosy game, sir.
05:00Who are those four?
05:01Oh, um, someone named Laura Stenton?
05:03Stenton?
05:04Ah!
05:05Oh, my God!
05:07Oh, what?
05:08Alice, so sweet.
05:12Thank you, kind sir.
05:13I hope you have a really nice Valentine's Day.
05:15I even remembered marigolds are my birth month flowers.
05:19Happy Valentine's Day.
05:21Hi.
05:22I know you said you don't care about Valentine's Day, but I had to get you something, so here
05:27you go.
05:28I like you hot or cold?
05:31You know, like the pizza.
05:33It's good either way.
05:35Oh, yeah.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Uh, I get all of that now.
05:39Great.
05:40Thanks.
05:41It's cute.
05:42Yeah, thanks.
05:43Uh, so I'm so glad we're on the same page about this whole Valentine's thing.
05:47You know, just keep it casual.
05:50It's a regular old Tuesday.
05:52Indeed.
05:53Yeah.
05:54So, you still coming over tonight?
05:55Do a little ramen?
05:56Watch a documentary?
05:58Yes, uh, eight o'clock.
06:00Great.
06:01Uh, you got a secret admirer I should know about?
06:03Oh, Jackie's husband always sends her a bunch of gifts throughout the day.
06:06It's a big old waste of money on things you're gonna throw away two days later, you know?
06:10No thank you.
06:11I'll see you later, all right?
06:13It's not a crime to date multiple women.
06:15Rude, true.
06:17But against the law?
06:19I don't think so.
06:20How about fraud?
06:22Forgery?
06:24Theft?
06:25For starters.
06:26And all of those on an international scale.
06:28Lying about who you are, what you do, con women, and giving your fake business money.
06:33Duncan, don't say a word.
06:36They can't make any of this stick.
06:38We literally caught him conning one of our undercover agents.
06:40No way.
06:41If anything, Loretta conned me.
06:43He's telling the truth about that.
06:45I'm good.
06:47And so humble.
06:51Carter Holt?
06:52Yes, hi.
06:53Oh, that's right.
06:55Uh, I'm gonna need to cancel that.
06:57My wife and I...
06:59What do you mean it's non-refundable?
07:01No, I know what the word means.
07:03Never mind.
07:05What's non-refundable?
07:07Last Valentine's Day, I messed up with Evelyn, like, really bad.
07:11So I figured I'd plan ahead for this year.
07:13Save future me from grief.
07:14So I made reservations at Ravenna for the night.
07:17The chef's table was so exclusive, I had to prepay.
07:19500 a head.
07:21Well, that's perfect.
07:22What?
07:23You got the dinner reservations and the divorce.
07:26You forgot to give Fortune a Valentine's Day gift.
07:29So looks like past you just hooked future you up.
07:32It's too much too soon, right?
07:34I mean, we're barely dating.
07:35Are you hearing yourself, Carter?
07:38This is a thing that can lock it in.
07:40Look, we can prove that you conned multiple women.
07:44But right now, we only want to talk about one of them.
07:46Cora Kazan.
07:48She's married to a very dangerous drug gig bin.
07:52Huh, look at that. He wasn't aware of that.
07:54She told me he was a businessman.
07:56Had his own company.
07:57Yeah, manufacturing and distributing methamphetamines and killing a bunch of people in the process.
08:02You got two paths.
08:03One, we pack you off to an American prison where you never step foot in your homeland ever again.
08:07Or two, you help us get to Cora's husband, Tobias.
08:11And you go home.
08:12How about three?
08:13We fight this in court.
08:15Sure, but that might trigger four.
08:17Tobias Greenlight's a hit on your client for screwing his wife.
08:20I'll help.
08:21You're crazy nut.
08:22It's my life.
08:23I'll do it.
08:25Just tell me what I have to do.
08:27You are going to give her this gift.
08:30Really? A literal Trojan horse?
08:32It's Celtic.
08:33It's a symbol of good fortune.
08:34Something our Casanova here should have no problem making up a really good story about.
08:38And what is it really?
08:39A Wi-Fi hacker.
08:40Give it to her, tell her to put it in the house.
08:42When she looks at her husband, she thinks of you or whatever.
08:45And meanwhile, we're tapping into their home network and intercepting all communications.
08:50Fine.
08:52Your phone.
08:54Arrange a meeting with Cora today. In person.
08:58But it's Valentine's Day.
08:59She's probably with her husband.
09:00Then make sure that she chooses you.
09:06Hi, Amy. What a surprise.
09:09Darling, can you get away?
09:12Today's tough.
09:13Could we do Pilates and mimosas tomorrow morning?
09:16I can't wait.
09:18I need my lips on your neck.
09:21In that spot that you love just under your ear.
09:27I'll make it work.
09:28Text me when and where.
09:34I still think we should be the ones surveilling Cora's date with Chase.
09:37The surveillance team is that mad.
09:39Plus, Cora already knows what we look like.
09:42Why risk her making one of us?
09:44Why risk her making one of us?
09:51Is that another present from Atlas?
09:52Yes, but I'm the only one with a key to this drawer.
09:55How'd it get in there?
09:56Did one of you help him?
09:58Wasn't me.
09:59Not me.
10:00I am dating a cat burglar.
10:05A dreamy, romantic cat burglar.
10:08You gotta be kidding me.
10:09Well, then get him back. Now.
10:11Chase just blew through a red light and he lost the two agents who were escorting him to his date with Cora.
10:15He is in the wind.
10:16Any idea where he's going?
10:17Not a clue.
10:18I bet I know someone who might know.
10:20The one person who's been on his tail for months.
10:31Appreciate this, Detective.
10:33Couldn't wait to get my gloat on.
10:35Both slip you one.
10:36There's a yacht being leased by one of Mr. Bad Romance's shell corporations.
10:42LAPD!
10:43FBI!
10:44We're coming on board!
11:01Oh, no.
11:11You should've listened to me.
11:12If you hadn't stolen my case, this guy would be in lockup.
11:15And I'd be getting restitution for his victims.
11:17Okay, someone please tell me that they got a lead.
11:20No sign of a struggle, which means he either knew his killer or they got the drop on him.
11:24And they used a weapon found on the boat.
11:26All pointing to a crime of opportunity.
11:28All right, well, he ditches us, he tries to get away on his boat, and then someone catches him before he can.
11:32Yeah, but he has screwed over so many ladies, we are not short on suspects.
11:36Where do we start?
11:37How about Cora Kazan?
11:38I just got off the phone with surveillance.
11:39She didn't show up to the hotel to meet him.
11:41That's far from proof she came here and her opponent.
11:43Agree.
11:44But she has a fast track on her car for tolls.
11:45She got off the 110 freeway heading to the marina less than two hours ago.
11:49Let's get her in here for questioning.
11:50Now.
11:51Well, since I clearly know more about the victim slash former suspect than you, would you like me to observe?
11:55Actually, I...
11:56Great.
11:57I'll meet you at your office.
11:59Damn!
12:00And you complained about me.
12:03If you think you can get me to give you dirt on my husband, you're crazy.
12:07Crazy is being married to a psychopath and cheating on him with a con man.
12:11Yes, we know about Chase Harrison.
12:14And we know that he contacted you earlier for a hookup, and then two hours later, he's dead with a speargun arrow through his heart.
12:20He's dead?
12:21Yeah.
12:22I want a lawyer.
12:23You can go that way, but then your husband's going to find out about the affair, and we both know he's not going to take that too well.
12:30So, safer bet, you just come clean with us.
12:34I didn't kill him.
12:35We know you set up a rendezvous.
12:37He called me back an hour later and changed the plan.
12:39Did you know that?
12:41No.
12:42He called me from a new number, which was odd.
12:45He said he was in trouble and needed me to meet him at the marina.
12:49What else did he say?
12:51Duncan wanted to sail away with me.
12:53You knew his real name?
12:55Yes.
12:56I busted him on our first date.
12:58So, you knew exactly what he was doing, and you still gave him money?
13:02Why?
13:03Because burning Tobias' money was almost as satisfying as the sex.
13:08Mostly, I did it because Duncan and I were in love.
13:12Unbelievable.
13:13She knew who he was and still fell for his lies.
13:15How do you know he's lying?
13:17Even con men can fall in love.
13:19Because this guy knew more than anyone that love is a scam.
13:21Wow, Negative Naomi.
13:23Think about it.
13:25If our victim didn't have real feelings for her,
13:28he would have given her the Trojan horse gift and walked away.
13:31But he didn't.
13:32You're wrong.
13:33I'm right.
13:34No, you're wrong.
13:35No, I am right.
13:36Well, you do cut the bickering.
13:37I'm trying to listen.
13:38I'm right.
13:39Tell us what happened when you met up at the marina.
13:42I never met him.
13:44I couldn't find his yacht.
13:46I tried calling that phone number, but he didn't pick up.
13:49Cora, do you expect us to believe that?
13:51I don't care what you believe.
13:53What we had was real.
13:55You were going to go with him.
13:56I wanted to, but no.
14:00My daughter is in prison and needs me.
14:02So, why did you go to the marina then if you weren't going to sail off with him?
14:06To say goodbye.
14:09Cora, don't say another word.
14:11Unless you're arresting Mrs. Kazan, we're leaving.
14:13Her husband's waiting for her in the lobby.
14:15Of course he is.
14:25Kazan, you've already taken my daughter from me.
14:28Now you're coming for my wife.
14:30How far do you think you can push a man before he decides to push back?
14:34Careful, Tobias.
14:35You're just a few words shy of threatening a federal agent.
14:38Yeah, but that would be such an unsatisfying way for you to end up in handcuffs.
14:43So, unless you're willing to escalate to assaulting a peace officer, you should go.
14:48Hmm.
14:53While you're looking into Cora's alibi, check on Tobias' as well.
14:56Because if he knew that she was cheating on him with Chase, he has certainly killed for less.
15:08Seriously? Atlas again?
15:10Hey, no. It's not for you. It's for him.
15:12For me?
15:13Yeah.
15:14From who?
15:15I don't know.
15:17Just a sweet chocolate treat to an even sweeter chocolate treat.
15:22It's from Fortune.
15:23You're doing something right, Carter.
15:25Clearly not.
15:27I'm about to.
15:34Hey, you.
15:35Hey, I am looking for a woman.
15:37Maybe you can help me find her.
15:38She is kind, thoughtful, and apparently considers me a chocolate treat.
15:43I think I know who you're talking about.
15:45That was really nice.
15:47Look, I know this is last minute, and I'm so sorry.
15:50Are you free for dinner?
15:52Tonight?
15:54Well, maybe I can get someone to cover me, but good luck getting in anywhere on Valentine's Day.
15:59I actually know someone at Ravenna.
16:03He can get us in.
16:04Ravenna?
16:05For real?
16:07I've always wanted to go there.
16:09What time?
16:10Pick you up at 8?
16:11I'll be cute.
16:15What did you tell them?
16:16Nothing about you or your business.
16:18Not everything is about you.
16:20So it's about your boyfriend, then.
16:24You knew?
16:25You're not as clever as you think.
16:29Did you?
16:33Hello?
16:34This is a call from Riverside Correctional. To accept the charges, say yes.
16:37Yes.
16:38Dad.
16:39Sweetie?
16:40Daddy.
16:41Hey, Alice, what's wrong?
16:43They know who I am.
16:44Who?
16:45What are you talking about?
16:46The Malanoche.
16:47They found out I'm your daughter.
16:49They've been threatening me.
16:50You said you could protect her.
16:52I have people inside, but Malanoche's running that prison.
16:55What do they want?
16:56Your business, or I'm dead.
17:01Got that, Papi?
17:02Listen to me.
17:03If you hurt my daughter, I will kill every single person you care about.
17:07We gotta go. We'll be in touch after we put a beating on your little angel.
17:10Wait.
17:15Hey.
17:16Got anything on who killed our clipmate's Casanova?
17:19Waiting to see.
17:20ERT didn't find any prints on the speargun that killed your victim,
17:23but they pulled multiple latent prints from the yacht.
17:25Okay.
17:26APHIS is searching for a match.
17:28Fingers crossed.
17:30Oh, also, fingers crossed.
17:31We can find some good food tonight,
17:33because the ramen place I was going to take you to,
17:35health code violation.
17:37Guess we dodged a bullet.
17:38Yeah, totally.
17:39I was thinking maybe we could do, like, a drive-thru.
17:42I was thinking maybe we could do, like, a drive-thru on the way to my place.
17:46Oh, yeah.
17:48Fast food sounds great.
17:50Great.
17:52We got a hit.
18:04Fingerprint match from German intelligence.
18:07Alright, Hans Becker.
18:08German national suspected of multiple murders for hire across Europe.
18:11An assassin.
18:12He just landed at LAX late last night from Frankfurt.
18:15And just happened to end up on our victim's yacht.
18:18What, are we thinking Valentine's Day massacre?
18:20All of Chase's recent marks have deep pockets.
18:23A betrayal like that, I wouldn't put it past him to want revenge.
18:26Hire a hitman.
18:27No, Tobias wouldn't waste the money,
18:29and Cora didn't have time to bring him in.
18:31Oh, but Chase has been there for hours now.
18:33I mean, this guy could be on his way back to Germany.
18:36I'll get a bolo out for him and have every agency in the region on high alert.
18:39With any luck, we'll catch him before he leaves town.
18:42Look, uh, it's Valentine's Day, right?
18:45For those of you who celebrate.
18:47So, go and have a night or whatever.
18:49Just stay by your phones.
18:51If I get a lead, I'm gonna call.
18:54But you got big Valentine's Day plans tonight?
18:57No Valentine, no plans.
19:00I got a transfer from Oakland PD six months ago,
19:02and I gotta say, I'm still not vibing with that LA thing.
19:06Just do my job and go home.
19:08See, you just haven't given the right people a try.
19:11Trust, once you find your folks and a good place to hang,
19:15you gonna see LA through different eyes.
19:17Really?
19:18Down here, there's not even any decent restaurants.
19:20Just overpriced hot spots and sushi.
19:23Seriously, what is up with all the sushi joints?
19:25Okay, um, try this taco truck.
19:28Bangin' Tacos Downtown.
19:30If you love that, I'll give you some other recommendations.
19:33Not big on tacos, but thanks anyway.
19:36Have a good night.
19:37Good night.
19:49You look beautiful tonight.
19:51I mean, not that you don't look good on other nights.
19:53I get it.
19:56Carter?
19:58Evelyn?
20:00What are you doing here?
20:02I don't know.
20:03Know is right.
20:05A reservation was in my calendar, and I thought it shouldn't go to waste.
20:08I figured you'd long forgotten about it.
20:10All those missed Valentine's Days.
20:12Guess you needed a new lady to suddenly find the time.
20:17Hi, I'm Fortune.
20:18Hi, I'm sorry about this.
20:20I'm Evelyn, the ex-wife.
20:24Figured.
20:26Hey, guys.
20:27How are ya?
20:28Marcus, nice to meet you.
20:30Now that we all know each other, if you don't mind,
20:32Fortune and I are going to enjoy this reservation that I prepaid for.
20:35As a gift to me, remember?
20:37Aren't you supposed to be at home with our son?
20:39The one you want to take 2,000 miles away from me?
20:41Really, Carter?
20:42You want to do this here and now?
20:48Hey.
20:49All done.
20:50Thanks for waiting.
20:51Yeah.
20:52So, I was thinking, greasy drive-thru sounds terrible.
20:56On Valentine's Day?
20:58Yuck.
20:59I have a cauliflower pizza in my freezer,
21:01so I thought maybe I'll just do that for us.
21:06Yeah?
21:07You are the worst actress in the world.
21:09What?
21:10You do care about Valentine's Day, don't you?
21:13Don't you?
21:15All right.
21:16Yes, okay.
21:17I love it.
21:18I'm a woman.
21:19I'm French.
21:20I'm a romantic.
21:21It's the one day of the year designed for lovers.
21:23Then why didn't you say anything?
21:26I was embarrassed.
21:29Hey.
21:33I love that you love Valentine's Day.
21:36Because guess what?
21:38I love Valentine's Day.
21:40Which is why I planned something for us.
21:45I rented us a house in Malibu.
21:49And there's a chef there right now,
21:51cooking us a five-course dinner.
21:53And then we're going to walk on the beach.
21:55We're going to get massages while we listen to the ocean.
21:58And then we are going to sit by the fire
22:02until the sun comes up.
22:05What happens after the fire and before the sun?
22:09I'll leave that up to you.
22:14You can't have al pastor.
22:15That's pork.
22:17Yes, I agree.
22:18Pork is delicious, however your diabetes is.
22:21Look, we'll eat chicken tacos
22:22and binge watch something, okay?
22:24Bye.
22:25Bye.
22:26Oh, so much has happened since the last time I saw you.
22:32You took my advice on the tacos
22:34and got you a hot date.
22:36Get it, girl?
22:37A date?
22:38Nah, that was my mom.
22:40She's getting older and in denial about it.
22:43She's the reason I moved down here.
22:46Want to grab a drink while we wait for our order?
22:49Sure.
22:50Come on.
22:54You and your ex have some unresolved issues.
22:58I'm sorry you got caught in the middle.
23:01Look, I get it.
23:02We all have baggage.
23:04But you told me you were going to be honest with me
23:06and then you go and pull this.
23:08Bringing me to a dinner meant for your ex?
23:10I know.
23:12And I don't know what's wrong with me.
23:17I like you, Carter.
23:20I'm just not sure you're ready to date right now.
23:21No, no, no. Don't say that.
23:23I like you, too.
23:25We can salvage this night.
23:26Where do you want to go?
23:27Anywhere. Anywhere at all.
23:28I think it's best if you just take me home.
23:34I had been with my girlfriend for two years,
23:36but after I transferred down here, we broke up.
23:40That sucks.
23:41I don't have an excuse as to why I'm single.
23:44I date men and women,
23:45so you would think that my odds would be much better.
23:48Ever date anyone in law enforcement?
23:50Mm-mm.
23:51Why you ask?
23:53No one else understands that the man said the job.
23:56We look different.
23:57Oh, I would much rather date a civilian.
24:00I don't want to be in that headspace when I get home.
24:02Well, then get used to being alone.
24:05Damn. Harsh.
24:08I'm just being real.
24:09I come from a cop family.
24:11Everybody's still together.
24:14Just saying.
24:15Anyway, Mama's tacos are getting cold.
24:17I better go.
24:18You're right, though. It's for Mom.
24:21Later.
24:31Show me your hands.
24:32Show me your hands!
24:36I come in peace.
24:37I don't believe you.
24:39I have an offer.
24:40My daughter was beaten in prison by the Malanoche.
24:44Now they're threatening to kill her
24:46if I don't turn over my operations to them.
24:49So what's your offer?
24:50Transfer her to a minimum security federal prison.
24:53Far away.
24:55Where my enemy can't reach her.
24:57And what do I get in return?
25:00Me.
25:11I do hope one of y'all made up for my unsexy Valentine's night.
25:16Talk to me.
25:17Well, I FaceTimed with Atlas all night.
25:20Props.
25:21Carter?
25:23B?
25:24Mine just ended an hour ago.
25:26Winner, winner!
25:28You better get yourself a double espresso, Probie,
25:30because we've got a busy day ahead of us.
25:32Okay.
25:33Last night, I had a surprise Valentine's date
25:35with Tobias Kazan.
25:37Are you serious?
25:38Apparently, Malanoche has been threatening
25:40his daughter's life in prison,
25:41and he wants us to transfer her to a minimum security facility
25:44for the rest of her sentence for her safety.
25:46And in exchange, he'll help us make a case against Malanoche,
25:49and he'll give up his meth manufacturing lab here in L.A.
25:52Tobias did not seem like the type to surrender like that.
25:55I was skeptical at first, too, Carter,
25:57but as a show of good faith,
25:58he passed along some intel about his drug suppliers in Greece.
26:01Interpol verified it,
26:02and this morning, Hellenic police arrested 30 people.
26:05So this is real.
26:07Tobias has already set up an in-person exchange.
26:09He's gonna hand over all of his supplies
26:11to Malanoche's leadership.
26:12So we could kill two birds with one arrest.
26:14But when's the exchange?
26:15That's the tricky part.
26:17Tobias says that he's only gonna give up the time
26:19and the location if we grant him immunity and move Elise.
26:22So I'm gonna meet with the AUSA to work out a deal.
26:25In the meantime, Laura, Brendan,
26:26liaise with the Bureau of Prisons,
26:28and you make sure that Elise is under protective custody
26:30until she's transferred.
26:31And do it on the QT.
26:32We do not want Malanoche catching on.
26:35This is Naomi.
26:37Hey, Detective, you're on speaker with Garza and Carter.
26:41Hey, DHS picked up our hitman Hans Becker at LAX,
26:44about to board a flight to Frankfurt.
26:46He's en route to my station right now.
26:47Oh, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
26:48This is a federal case. He should be on his way.
26:50And this is a courtesy call.
26:52More than you gave me, for the record.
26:54She hung up.
26:56Okay.
26:57Will you two please go over there
26:58and see what you can get out of Hans?
27:00Don't ever complain about me again.
27:03Okay.
27:04Mm-mm. Don't do it.
27:06How much were you paid, Hans, to kill Chase,
27:09which would be the eighth murder
27:10across three continents you're suspected of?
27:12But never charged with.
27:14That's the most important part, yes?
27:15Hans, we didn't pick your name out of a hat.
27:17Your prints were at the scene.
27:19Sure.
27:20Because I'm a conflict resolution specialist.
27:22You have my mobile phone,
27:24so you'll discover I was hired by a woman,
27:26Victoria Wagner,
27:27to find a man who played the nefarious confidence game
27:30and tricked her out of over $200,000.
27:33She paid you to find him and to kill him?
27:36No. Resolve conflict.
27:38But when I boarded the ship,
27:40I found him sitting there,
27:41spirit like a fish.
27:43You expect us to believe that?
27:44Hypothetically.
27:45Were I this man you're accusing me of being,
27:48I would never use a weapon so crude and unreliable.
27:52It's a nice story.
27:55I did not kill that man.
27:58Just found him.
28:00So what do we think?
28:02Hans is clearly a killer, but is he our killer?
28:04Well, he's telling the truth about one thing.
28:06He did get money from Victoria Wagner.
28:0820,000 euros.
28:10And then she started sending him all these texts in German.
28:14I'll reach out to the language analyst to translate.
28:17There's a lot of clearly coded text about payments.
28:21And then yesterday at 11.47 a.m.,
28:23he messaged her the job is done.
28:25Wait, you speak German?
28:27I'm Spanish. Some Arabic.
28:29Show off.
28:31Hans just got a text from Victoria.
28:34You lied. Chase is not dead.
28:37He just contacted me for more money.
28:39That's impossible.
28:40Unless someone has access to his account
28:43and is posing as him.
28:45Chase must have had a partner.
28:47He's just become desperate for cash.
28:49Damn.
28:51You want to do what now?
28:52Catfish the catfisher.
28:54Our Casanova had a partner,
28:55and they contacted one of his German victims,
28:57Victoria Wagner, posing as him,
28:59trying to extort another payment.
29:01So we want to draw the partner out
29:03by pretending to be Victoria online.
29:06Victoria will say she can't transfer funds electronically
29:08the way she normally does because her account's tapped out.
29:11Yeah, but she can get a physical check made out to cash
29:14by one of her business associates in Los Angeles.
29:17We'll set that drop up in an office building that we control.
29:20You smell what I'm cooking?
29:22Do it.
29:25We're in position.
29:27Copy. Position secured in the lobby.
29:29When the partner picks up the check from the receptionist,
29:31we got him.
29:32Okay, so it's obvious that the partner's the killer, right?
29:35But why turn on Chase?
29:37My bet? They were lovers.
29:38No.
29:39No, no, no. Hold on.
29:40The partner finds out that Chase is going to run off with Cora,
29:43has a fit, kills in a jealous rage.
29:46Boom.
29:4750 bucks says it was all business.
29:48What?
29:49Do you hate love so much?
29:51Again with this?
29:52It's like the view with you two.
29:53Oh, hush.
29:54One thing that's become clear,
29:55Chase was the face of the operation
29:57and his partner was the brains.
29:58I agree, whoopee.
30:00I take that as a compliment.
30:01Now, Chase had a sophisticated financial operation,
30:03so his partner had to be someone who knew how to open shell corporations,
30:06move cash internationally.
30:08Chase's lawyer?
30:09That's a reach, don't you think?
30:11Not really.
30:12She's here.
30:14It's Audrey Evans, Carter, and she's headed your way.
30:17So if she picks up the envelope, we'll move in.
30:23Damn.
30:24She made us.
30:29Audrey, don't.
30:31FBI.
30:32LAPD.
30:40Settle the bet.
30:41Did you kill Chase for love or money?
30:45Lawyer.
30:48Damn.
30:53This looks to be in order.
30:55Deal's not going to get any better, Tobias.
30:58You work your entire life to build something,
31:01and then just like that, with some paper and a bad old pen,
31:05it all goes away.
31:07I'm not the audience for your self-pity.
31:09You were a drug dealer,
31:11and everything that you've built has been at the expense of other people.
31:16That's karma.
31:23At 8 p.m. tonight,
31:25several high-ranking members of Malanoche
31:27will meet at my cookhouse on Soto and Valley.
31:30They're coming to take all my products and supplies.
31:33Get comfortable,
31:35because you're not going anywhere until this is done.
31:40What's the sitrep?
31:41We closed the clipmate's Casanova case.
31:43Well, Naomi did.
31:44We let her take the collar, because honestly, she earned it.
31:47Should we fold in on Tobias?
31:49Yeah, I need you to get Elise's statement
31:51before Marshall's transfer her to her new prison, okay?
31:53Simone, you got her to open up the last time, so do your thing.
31:56Don't I always?
31:57Yeah, Laura, Brendan, and I
31:58are going with Swat to Tobias' cookhouse.
32:00Gotcha.
32:02They said if my dad doesn't hand over his business by tomorrow,
32:06they'll cut my throat.
32:08Thank you, Elise.
32:10Marshall will be here soon to transfer you.
32:13I was surprised you were taking my statement.
32:17I was surprised you were taking my statement.
32:20You put me away, and now you're helping me out.
32:24Thank you, Father.
32:26Wait, I thought you were just being kind.
32:29My father actually gave up his drug operation.
32:32Yeah, he made a deal with Garza.
32:35Garza? No, my dad hates that guy.
32:38Well, maybe he loves you more than he hates him.
32:41No, he doesn't.
32:44You think my dad actually cares about me?
32:46No, the only thing that he loves is his business.
32:50He would never give that up, especially to your boss.
33:02Surveillance feed is up and running.
33:08Did you get Elise's statement?
33:09Yeah, but are you sure this deal is only up and up?
33:12Why do you ask?
33:13Because based on what Elise just said,
33:15Tobias as the dutiful father is an act.
33:18Meet's supposed to be at 8.
33:20They're already 12 minutes late.
33:21Maybe Malinoche got cold feet.
33:23Tobias gave you bad intel to lure you down to an environment he controls.
33:27Setting up both the FBI and Malinoche.
33:29Boss, what better way to get rid of all your enemies
33:33than to have them there at the same time?
33:35Matt, this is a meth lab.
33:37With the amount of volatile chemicals in there,
33:39it would only take one well-placed explosive for this whole block to go boom.
33:42And a lot of people die.
33:44Would he sacrifice his own men like that?
33:46Risk blowing a deal that he cut?
33:48Tobias Kazan, 100%.
33:51Let's go check it out.
34:10We have two armed bogeys south wall.
34:12Copy that. Keep eyes on them.
34:28It's getting a little crowded in here.
34:30We need to split up.
34:32I'll take care of this.
34:34I'll take care of this.
34:37It's getting a little crowded in here. We need to step this up.
34:40Almost to the tanks.
34:53Matt, we got a problem.
34:55Carter was right. This is a trap.
34:57The BI's wired C4 onto one of the tanks,
34:59and if it goes off, this whole block becomes a crater.
35:02Malinoche just arrived.
35:04You need to disarm that bomb right away.
35:11Bogeys on the move.
35:12They're all in the one spot.
35:32Bomb disarmed.
35:33Move in.
35:41FBI! Hands up right now!
35:43No, no, no. Hands up. Let's go.
35:45Show me your hands. Hands up. Everyone.
35:51Boss, you okay?
35:52Yeah. You good?
35:53Laura, you good?
35:54Yeah.
36:00You surprised to see me alive?
36:02Did something go wrong?
36:03Cut the crap, Tobias.
36:04You set us up, and you set up Malinoche.
36:07You had that place rigged to explode.
36:09Why on earth would I do that?
36:11To send a message to anyone who might be coming after you again.
36:14Your daughter's prison transfer was dependent on this deal,
36:17and I'm pulling it.
36:19Threatening my daughter's safety.
36:21You must be desperate, Garza.
36:23But we both know you're too much of a do-gooder
36:25to send her back into that lightning stand.
36:29Are you willing to risk your daughter's life for this?
36:33To use her like some kind of pawn?
36:38Alice, she's a big girl.
36:42She made her choices. Now she's on her own.
36:45And the deal I signed granted me immunity from prosecution
36:50regarding the L.A. Meth Lab.
36:52So...
36:53Unless you can prove I have something to do with that supposed bomb,
36:59may I go now?
37:06Why am I here?
37:07Tobias says he gave up his entire operation.
37:09But I know that there's gotta be more,
37:11and we believe that you know all about it.
37:14Turnstate's evidence.
37:16We can put him away for good.
37:18Forget it.
37:20We can keep you safe.
37:22You can start a new life, find new love.
37:27Look, my husband is not a good man.
37:31But my daughter needs her father in her life.
37:34I'm not going to destroy what's left of our family.
37:36Well, it's a shame that your husband doesn't feel the same way.
37:41Are you willing to risk your daughter's life for this?
37:44To use her like some kind of pawn?
37:47To use her like some kind of pawn?
37:52Elise.
37:54She's a big girl.
37:56She made her choices. Now she's on her own.
37:59You are the only one who cares about Elise.
38:04It would seem that you're right.
38:08Which is why the last place I should be is in witness protection.
38:11Unable to look out for her, to use his resources to protect her.
38:14So you're going to stay with him even though he is a complete monster?
38:20I have to.
38:22For my daughter.
38:33Delivery.
38:35That's beautiful. Who's it for?
38:38You.
38:41You trying to buy my forgiveness?
38:43I am so sorry about last night.
38:45You were right about everything except one.
38:48I am ready to date.
38:49You sure about that?
38:50Absolutely.
38:51And I promise you, no more lies.
38:53No more dodging, hiding.
38:54No more being afraid that my truth is too much for you to handle.
38:56Just radical transparency.
38:58That's a serious commitment.
39:00I'm a serious dude.
39:01And I can prove it to you.
39:02Here are some straight up truths that I've never mentioned to anyone before.
39:07In the fifth grade, we had share day.
39:09But I thought the teacher meant share the singer-actress.
39:12I dressed up in a big wig and jumpsuit.
39:14No, you did not.
39:15Yeah, I did.
39:16And I looked fly as hell.
39:18There's another truth.
39:19Breaking 2, Electric Boogaloo, is my all-time favorite movie.
39:22And that's for real.
39:23I tear up during the final dance number every time.
39:26Sorry, not sorry.
39:28Number three.
39:29Okay, stop now or I'll regret what I'm about to say.
39:31Okay.
39:38I'm willing to give this radically transparent truth teller another chance.
39:55Hey, you.
39:57Hi.
39:58How was your day?
39:59It was touch and go at first.
40:02I haven't pulled an all-nighter since university.
40:06But it was worth it.
40:08Best Valentine's Day ever.
40:10It was.
40:12And so sweet and thoughtful.
40:16Now it's my turn.
40:17Oh.
40:18I bought us the last two tickets for Amélie at the New Beverly.
40:22I know it's your favorite film.
40:25Tonight?
40:26Okay.
40:27Uh, it's a late show.
40:29It's midnight.
40:31Yep.
40:34Can we fall asleep and stream it at your house instead?
40:37Oh, thank God.
40:38Sweeter words have never been said.
40:40Let's go.
40:41Let's go.
40:47Hey, girl.
40:48Hey.
40:49Hey.
40:50What are you doing here?
40:51Well, I had an update on the Casanova case.
40:55I wanted to share.
40:57What's up?
40:58Garza invoked the power of the federal government here and abroad
41:02to seize all of Aubrey Evans' assets.
41:05So the women that her and Chase conned will get restitution.
41:10I'm glad to hear it.
41:12If only we could unbreak their hearts, too.
41:15Wait a minute.
41:16Is that a sweet statement from someone who hates love?
41:21Could you please speak into the mic?
41:23Shut up.
41:24Even I've got a heart buried in here somewhere.
41:28And for the record,
41:29I give you feds props for how you handled the case.
41:32But the jury's still out on a sun-baked purgatory, call that a lie.
41:36And Negative Naomi is back.
41:39You gotta admit that the sunsets here are unmatched.
41:42And you even said you like the tacos.
41:46Sure.
41:47Sure.
41:48See ya.
41:54Hey, since you're the L.A. restaurant expert,
41:57I read about this Jamaican spot on Washington, Trolley Yard.
42:01They have the best beef patties in town.
42:04Well, we should go sometime.
42:06I'd say tonight, but I'm taking my mom to this silver and sexy mixer.
42:10You're a good daughter.
42:12Rain check?
42:13Rain check.
