05x22 - Chaos Theory

Post by bunniefuu »

Hey! Get your hands off!

I'm exercising my
First Amendment right!

What were you gonna
do with this?

You can't detain me!

What?
Interesting venue for our third date.

I didn't think beignets
at Café Du Monde would impress.

Welcome, one and all,
to the m*llitary...

...the world's best engineers
and scientists.

This definitely isn't doughnuts.

No, it's not.

Oh, no!

Oh, God.

Ma'am, what's the problem?

Call the police.
It's a b*mb.

What? Did you just say...? Leave!

Get out of here.
I'm gonna help.

Everybody!
We have an active b*mb

on the premises.
Please clear the area!

This thing will go off in less
than a minute, and who knows

how much damage it can cause.

Like I said, there is an
active b*mb on the premises!

Please clear the area
as quickly as possible!

I'm a ballistics expert,

but I have expl*sive experience.

I think I can deactivate it.

You have any experience?

One day training.
How can I help?

Okay, the key is to separate
the blast cap from the timer.

It looks like there's
a couple false wires.

Yeah, somebody knew
what they were doing.

I can separate the elements
to give you a better look.

This is ridiculous.
Let's run.

Most of the wires
are yellow and red,

but-but there's a single green.

Looks right to me.

That's my vote, too.

Here goes nothing.

Holy crap. I think that worked.

Hey, Ben,

you know how you said
you wanted to impress me?

Well, consider me impre...

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ How, how, how, how

♪ Hey, hey

♪ You got to come on.

What do we know, Hannah?

Device went off
at 10:04 a.m.

Two dead. Seven
critically wounded.

I was told there were
Navy victims.

Seaman Apprentice
Ben Frisell, DOA.

Seaman Apprentice
Neila Diseris survived.

They rushed her
to Mercy Hospital.

And the other DOA?

Yeah,
Dr. Alice Logan.

She was on-site to present
a seminar on modern ballistics.

According to witnesses,

she was attempting
to disable the device.

Why would she do that?

I believe she thought
she could help.

According to NOPD,

there were close to 1,000 people
in attendance this morning.

Tragedy could've been much worse
if our Sailors hadn't helped

clear the room.
Anything else to follow up on?

There was a protest group here,
Survivors for Peace.

Lasalle and Gregorio
are questioning them now.

See if they found anything.

I'm gonna join
Sebastian and Loretta.Okay.

Over the years, I've worked
more than my fair share

of b*mb scenes. It's not
the chaos that gets to me.

It's the smell, right? Ah...

The heavy chemical residue

leaves a metallic taste
in your mouth,

and the human element...

It's like cooked meat.
Stays in your clothes for days.

Does that smell give us anything
to work with forensically?

Well, there was a benefit
to the expl*si*n being inside,

there's more particulates
in the air.

I'm getting cordite and sulfur.

Can it help you identify the
materials used in the device?

Yeah, and how they might behave.

So some bombs
are, uh, directional.

You've seen a Claymore mine?

The ones that have "This side
toward enemy" printed on them?

Yeah, well, this device
had a similar blast pattern.

It was intended to explode
in just one direction.

Unfortunately,
it blew towards the door,

injuring anyone who was
still trying to flee.

Suggests a targeted att*ck.

Ah, it's too soon to tell.

Able to collect any remnants
of the device?

Nothing useful,
not here at least.

Where else would it be,
Sebastian?

The force of the expl*si*n
was concentrated

towards the door.

Notice anything interesting?

Yeah, there's a void here.

Yeah, right where
Seaman Diseris was standing

when the device detonated.

According to the EMTs, she was
hit with a lot of shrapnel.

Some of which may be
valuable evidence.

Get to the hospital.

Collect whatever you can.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Lot of folks to interview.

Not a problem. I know the drill.
Been through it before.

A woman we interviewed earlier
told us your daughter

was the victim of a
mass sh**ting, is that true?

Yes. She was 18.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm not the only one.

Everyone in my group
has lost someone important.

Your group's named
Survivors for Peace.

Travel around the country

staging protests
against g*n shows.

We're not staging anything.

We attempt to engage our
fellow Americans in dialogue.

Anything else you engage in
at these events?

My daughter was sh*t five times
with 300 PRC rounds.

Designed for Special Forces.

We're trying to bring attention

to the destructive power
of these modern weapons.

Incidents like this morning's
brings a lot of attention.

Our entire platform
is about getting rid

of weapons like this.
We'd never use one.

We understand, but there are
dozens of others in your group

who have a different opinion.

Yeah, like a man that was
arrested before the bombing,

appeared to have
a gallon of blood

in his possession.

Brock O'Driscoll is not a member
of my group.

He's a bottom-feeder.

He's trying to use our suffering

as a way to make a name
for himself.

And how exactly does he do that?

Check his social media.

He'll do anything for attention.

Anything?

My rights are being violated.

I demand
to be released immediately.

You're not in my custody.

You're gonna have to
take it up with NOPD...

after you explain this.

I don't know what that is.

It's blood, Brock.

It's probably not human blood,
but I wouldn't put anything

past you considering
your history.

That's not mine.

Officers found it
in your backpack.

Assuming you were gonna go
full Carrie

on someone at the show.

I don't even know
what that means.

Coy's not your play, Brock.

Not after the videos
that you've been posting online.

You're a professional disruptor.

You perform childish
pranks at public events

for as many clicks as possible.

You're familiar with my work.Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I am.

So is every law enforcement
agency in the state.

What can I say?

The public wants outrage.

I give it to them.

What I want to know is what made
you step up your game today.

You think I planted the b*mb?

Why else would there be
a line of federal agents

waiting to interview you? No.

No, no, no, no.
No, you got me wrong.

See, I-I create spectacle, okay?
Not-not carnage.

Okay, nuance is
lost on us, Brock.

You're gonna have to
do better than that. Look,

there was someone else.

He went into the museum
with a backpack.

He came out a minute later

without it.
He ran right into me.

No one else noticed it?

They were noticing me.

Okay.

I'm gonna need a
full description,

and you better hope for the both
of us that you have a keen eye

for detail. Go.

This is a composite
of our suspect

Brock O'Driscoll claims ran out
of the arms show

minutes before
the device detonated.

We're running it
against security videos

and facial recognition.

Could be a wild goose chase.

O'Driscoll covering his ass.

Could be a lot of things.

But we got to follow every lead.

We got two dead,

a Sailor fighting for her life,

seven critically wounded.

And considering
the size of the device,

we might've been looking
at a lot worse.

Yeah. We're six hours
out from the bombing.

There's 300 federal agents
and law enforcement officers

working the case.
What do we know?

Major arms show
in the heart of the city.

Working theory is some kind
of terrorism

or political statement.
Yeah, but there wasn't

any chatter,

according to the FBI,
before or after the expl*si*n.

Every weapons manufacturer in
the country was at this event,

but the b*mb was found
at Dr. Logan's booth

on her table. You thinking this was
a targeted att*ck?

I think we need to deep dive
our victims,

especially Alice Logan.

Well, what we know now

is she is the foremost
ballistics specialist

in the Southeast.

Consulted with law enforcement.

Testified at trials.
Taught a class at Quantico.

Yeah, nothing
that's controversial.

Dig into her personal life.

Find any enemies, secrets.
You know the drill.

You got it, King.

What? Good news?

Neila Diseris woke up.

Okay. Grab Sebastian.
Go question her.

How you holding up,
Seaman Diseris?

Uh, I don't know.

They said
I need to stay overnight,

but I, uh, think I can go back
to base tomorrow.

No. Surgeons removed 20 pieces
of shrapnel from your chest.

You're not going anywhere
anytime soon.

If you're here to
get my statement,

I already gave it to the FBI.

Actually, not here
to get your statement.

Then, uh...?

Well, the surgeons did remove

the 20 pieces
of shrapnel, right?

But there's still one piece
inside of you?

Lodged near my spinal cord.

They say
it's not life-threatening. GREGORIO: No.

But it could be helpful
in our investigation.

The fragment
that we're talking about,

it appears to have
some numbers on it.

And this could be
the identifying part

of the cell phone
that was used as the detonator.

Might help us find the suspect.

I was listening very carefully
when the doctor spoke to me.

Removing that fragment is risky.

Yeah, we know.

If the surgery went wrong,

it could result
in permanent nerve damage.

Yeah, we know that, too.

Okay. You know,
but you don't care.

No, no, that's not what
he's saying.

Right? NEILA:
Ben was standing

in front of me
when the b*mb went off.

Just ten feet.

He was there, and then...

he was ripped apart.

Somehow,

I'm going to walk out of this.

It's a gift I won't squander.

Right,

but I-I don't think that's necessarily
the way to look at this, okay?

You have the opportunity
to help catch

the person who did this.

Sorry. No.Look, Seaman Diseris...

We understand.

Thanks for listening.

Any luck getting the
piece of shrapnel?

Seaman Diseris refuses
to have the operation.

Yeah, 'cause we didn't try
hard enough to convince her.

She barely survived the blast.
We got to give her some time.

We don't have time. All right?
The longer that we wait,

the more the chances are
that the suspect gets away

or worse, sets off another b*mb.

I understand the stakes,
Sebastian, as well as

anyone else here.

But we cannot force this woman
to put her life at risk again.

You know that.Okay.

We're gonna use
different methods

to find our suspect.

We can table that debate
for right now.

I think we found our suspect.

Got a match on facial
recognition?

Oh, no, better than that.

NOPD pulled up surveillance
footage from a coffee shop

a few blocks from the blast.

Alan Van Scyoc.
According to the credit card

he used to pay
for his breakfast.

Commercial
real estate developer.

Born and raised in New Orleans.

Not the typical profile
on a t*rror1st.

Because he's not a t*rror1st.

I read about this case.

His brother Carl, right?

Yeah. Carl is on
trial for m*rder.

Accused of k*lling an unhappy
business partner. Carl and his partner

were both sh*t during
an alleged carjacking.

Prosecution says that Carl

set the whole thing up.
Pulled the trigger himself.

Entire trial hinges
on the testimony

of the state ballistics expert.

Dr. Alice Logan.

Yeah.

This would explain why
the b*mb was set

to only go off in one direction.

To make sure Alice Logan

didn't survive.

This bombing had nothing to do

with protesters or politics.

It was a hit.

Bus 35 going to El Paso
leaving in 15 minutes.

Listen, I'm not gonna be able
to make it, okay?

...to El Paso leaving
in 15 minutes.

Well, you'll have to reschedule.

Just apologize to them, Pete.

Tell them, you know,
I got the flu.

I'm gonna be home
in bed all day.

Yeah. I feel awful.

Hey, can I call you back?

Something weird is...

NCIS!

Alan Van Scyoc.
You're under arrest.

I don't understand why I'm here.

That's incredibly
hard to believe.

Considering you had $20,000 cash

in your bag and a bus ticket
to El Paso.

I was going on a business trip.

You were going on the run.

Why would I...? HANNAH: The bombing

that k*lled Dr. Alice Logan.

Yeah. I heard about it.

You were there, Alan.

No, I wasn't.
I had a meeting.

Alan, stop.

This is a, uh, composite

from witnesses who saw you
entering the museum

before the device went off.

Doesn't look anything like me.

How about this?

- Well, that's you right there.
- In front of the arms show.

With a backpack. What's in the
backpack, Alan?

You think I'm involved
in this tragedy?

We know you are. I'm a businessman!

Where'd you get the components
to make the b*mb?

Why would I...? Dr. Alice Logan.

She was about to testify
against your brother

at his m*rder trial.

Her ballistics evidence

would've sealed his fate.

That's just crazy.

Yeah. Agreed.
Why are we here?

You don't seem
like a bad guy, Alan.

No record,
active in the community.

Your brother, Carl, though...
he's not nice at all.

He's been accused of blackmail,
extortion, fraud.

Then he murders
a disgruntled business partner.

They were in a carjacking.

That's your brother's story,

but we know
that he was the sh**t.

Look, somehow, you
got involved in this.

Maybe it was family loyalty.

Maybe Carl strong-armed
you into planting the b*mb.

I didn't do anything.

No?

You did... this.

Please take those away.

And this!

Alan, dozens of law
enforcement agents

are searching your
home, your office.

Every detail of your life.

They're gonna find something.

They always do.

Your only option right now

is to explain to us
what happened.

I think I'd like
to call my lawyer now.

Lawyered up, didn't he?

Yeah. I was sure we had him.

Planting a b*mb

in a crowded space takes
a certain cold-blooded poise.

Something about this guy
just isn't adding up.

Well, Gregorio and the
FBI finished searching

his home and his office.

No sign of any b*mb components
or residue of expl*sives.

Okay, so he built the b*mb
somewhere else.

I mean, the guy was
a real estate developer.

He had who knows
how many properties.

Yeah, but... He delivered
the b*mb, Dwayne.

We have the evidence.

You really think Alan Van Scyoc
planned this thing?

I think he's displaying
classic signs of grief,

but less for the victims
and more for himself.

We need more proof. Well, ask

and you shall receive. Sebastian
thinks he might have something,

but he needs a DNA
sample from Van Scyoc.

Well, I'm sure they gathered
something in the search

of his house. Have Gregorio
bring it to the lab.

You got it.

So, I couldn't find
any significant pieces

of the b*mb at the crime scene.
Mm-hmm.

And since Seaman Diseris
refuses to have the piece

that's still lodged
in her removed... Which is her right.

Which is her right.
I know. I know.

It just... makes it
more difficult for us, you know?

There's a piece of evidence
that's sitting there

that could potentially
close the case.

Can't touch it.Yeah.

Right by her spine.
She's scared, Sebastian.

Yeah, well, if it was you
or me in that position...

But it's not.

Well, you're right.
It's just this young woman

who was out on a date
minding her own business,

and then, like that,
her life changes.

Okay, so you're frustrated
with her, and you sympathize?

I don't know where I'm at.

You know what it is?
It's the...

it's the senseless
nature of it all, right?

I mean, I know that I'm a cop,

and I'm supposed
to have this armor built up,

and usually I do, but it's just
when the v*olence is so random.

You know, I mean, anybody could
have been caught in that blast.

That's... that's what
I can't get used to.

You never get used to it.

It's chaos.

Best way of dealing with it
is finding order

in the chaos.
That's what we do.

You said you found
something else?

Yeah, I got pieces
of the backpack

that the b*mb was left in.

Notably, the zipper here.

And the zipper
can help because...?

Well, you know this little
metal tab thingie at the end? Mm-hmm.

That's really good for
scraping off epithelial cells.

Which I did.

Are you seeing if it's a
match to Alan Van Scyoc?

And it is.

Van Scyoc definitely
handled the backpack.

Like I said, baby...
order in the chaos.

The U.S. Attorney will be
indicting Van Scyoc

this afternoon.

He'll be going away
for a long time.

Less than 24 hours between
a bombing and a closed case.

Team did good work.
I'm proud of you all.

Got to give it
to Sebastian on this one.

He sealed the deal with the DNA.

No, it was a team effort,
you know?

I'm just glad we were able
to shut that guy down.

Yeah. I'm gonna
update Director Vance.

You should go home,
get some rest.

You earned it.

Let's get out of here.

I'm b*at. I'll drive.

I still got evidence
back at the lab.

Got to check it in
at the NOPD locker

and make sure
all that's squared away.

I'll come with if you want.

No, that's all right.
I got it. You can go home.

You did good work.

You should be satisfied.

Thanks.

See you later.

All right,
that's ten boxes at my count.

Sorry, Lana.
I know it's a lot.

Bunch of agencies dropped off a
few more right before I came here.

It's the job, right? Yeah.

Plus, I get to tell
everyone that I'm friends

with the agent that broke
the bombing case wide open.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. No, because you're
humble... and a hero.

I'm not... Listen, I'm still
the same guy from game night.

Okay? I still blow
on my 20-sided die three times

before I roll it
just like anybody else.

No one does that, Sebastian.
That's their loss.

I'm gonna go get
the rest of the boxes.

Okay. Um, and I'm
gonna make you a cup

of my world-famous
hot cocoa. Oh, I'm down.

Just, uh, can you use real milk?

'Cause almond milk
gives me, like, a whole... Deal.

Hey, Sebastian? Yeah.

You really are an inspiration
to geeks everywhere.

Sebastian?

I don't think he can hear us.

Sebastian, can you hear me?

Sebastian, are you okay?

No. I... I don't know.

How is he? Oh, he's good to move.
No neck pain or broken bones.

Need to get him to the ER.

You hear that, Sebastian?
You're gonna go with them.

I can't. I got to go find Lana.
I'm sorry, dear.

She didn't make it.

Chaos.

She was... she was gonna
make me cocoa, and then...

chaos. Tammy was right.

Okay. Look, you need
to go with them now.

No. No. No. No!
I got to work the scene. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

There is no scene.

Firefighters
are fighting the blaze.

It's... it's the evidence.

We'll get in there
as soon as we can.

We'll find the evidence. That's not... No,
that's not what I mean.

I mean, the-the device
was in the evidence

that I... that I brought in.

You're sure?

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I'm positive.
I should've checked it.

I should've checked it
before I brought it in. Look, Sebastian...

It's not your fault. I got to get in there.

I got to go in and see...

Get him to the hospital now. Copy that.

I should have known,
I should have done something.Okay.

You're all right. All you have to do

is let these professionals
take care of you.

You'll be all right.

If Sebastian's right...

...it means someone...

sabotaged all the
evidence we had

against Alan Van Scyoc.

According to A*F's
initial examination,

today's expl*sive device matches

the signature of the one
at the arms show.

We thinking Alan Van
Scyoc made them both? Well, he's been

in our custody
for almost 24 hours now.

Even if he is the b*mb maker...

It's highly unlikely
he had the means

to plant the second device
in our evidence.

So, who did have the means?

That's the million dollar
question.

We need an answer
quick. I just spoke

to the U.S. Attorney; with
all the evidence up in smoke,

he has to let Van Scyoc loose. What?

He's giving us ten hours
to make a new case.

Well, clearly whoever planted
the second device

wanted this result.

We got to find out who. Well, dozens

of law enforcement
and first responders

handled that evidence. Get the names,
get the backgrounds,

find out what connection
he had to Alan Van Scyoc. Which still leaves

the question of remaking our
initial case against Van Scyoc.

Working theory
is that he planted

the first b*mb to k*ll
Dr. Alice Logan. Who was going to

testify against Alan's brother
in a m*rder trial.Okay.

So we start from scratch.

Recanvass, reexamine,
reinterview.

Find a piece of evidence that
keeps Van Scyoc in custody.Okay.

Is that Pride at the hospital?

Yeah. He went to check
on Sebastian.

Is he okay? It's hard to say.

Sebastian checked himself out.

Come on, damn it.

Hey.

Careful there, Sebastian. I'm all right.

Not really.

Just hoping to...

see something that I missed.

You're in no condition.

Uh, doctor said I'm fine.

Doctor said you have
a concussion.

They're just being cautious.

So am I, get down.

Okay.

Find you a place
to sit down, okay?

Just stay there.Okay.

You know that, uh,
three percent of the population

are sociopaths?

Was it four percent?
It was three percent.

I think I read that somewhere.

Where you going with this?

They're just the ones that...

cause most of the suffering
in the world.

You know, thieves,
con men, murderers...

Just three percent.

It sucks.

They do keep us
busy, don't they?

Yeah, I'm not gonna
stand back and let...

a couple of people do all this.

Appreciate your dedication,
Sebastian,

but you're not 100%...I'm fine.

Your nose is bleeding.

Find anything new here?

No.

Whole thing's been picked over

by every forensic investigator
in the city.

But, uh...

when I was climbing the ladder,

I got hit by something.

Yeah, dizziness. Yeah, well.

Something else.

If we gather every scrap
of digital data...

I'm talking surveillance,
traffic cams,

cell phones from the attendees
and the protesters,

everything in a,
in a five-block radius...

The investigators already
went through all that. Well, yeah.

Individually. Looking for
one single suspect, Alan.

Now we know that he had help.

So if we gather all the data

in one place...

I might be able to recreate
the morning virtually.

Maybe see something
that we missed the first time.

You really up for this?

They k*lled Lana, Pride.

She was

funny and sweet,

and she was...

working on her master's
degree, you know?

And now she's...

she's just gone.

Your nose is bleeding again.

It's funny.
I used to get queasy

whenever I would get
a nosebleed, but now...

now I don't feel anything.

Okay.

Let's give your idea a try.

Come on.

We have reexamined every detail
of Alan Van Scyoc's life.

Not a scrap of evidence

that connects him
to either of the bombings.


Doesn't make any sense. There's
got to be something else

that connects him or... Or his brother,

who currently resides
in the parish jail.

Yeah. Alan been in
contact with him? No.

No, only contact Carl
has had is with the lawyers

or witnesses for his defense.

Well, hopefully Sebastian can...

get inspiration here and
can give us a leg up.

We're running out of time before
Alan's released from custody.

We'll set up a task force
for Sebastian.

Two dozen investigators
putting together footage

from cell phones,
security cameras

taken from around the time
of the museum bombing.

You think it'll work?

Well, about to find out.

Oh, good, you're here.

Uh, guys, can we have the room
for a minute,

please? Thanks.

This mean you found something?

Just wait for it.
I got a whole thing planned.

We don't really have time
for showmanship.

Oh, I promise it's worth it.

Even I was impressed.

How did you...?

So, we used the phones of all
the witnesses and the attendees

and combined it all
into sort of, like, a...

a Voltron of digital data.

So, what is a Voltron?

I'll explain that
more in-depth later.

Right now just-just
watch what we got here.

Now, we don't have
permission from everyone

to use their phones.
But we accessed them anyway.

"Accessed" as in hacked?

Well, we needed a
complete picture here.

Yet it's inadmissible.

I know. Uh,
just-just watch it, okay?

So, this is a 3-D rendering
combining all the footage

that's basically about
30 minutes before the bombing.

And we can literally navigate

through the crowds
and the streets.

Alan Van Scyoc is
in here somewhere?

Yeah, I'm glad that you asked.
P, will you do the honors, please?

Now, this is 20 minutes

before Alan entered into the
museum with the backpack.

And this second suspect
is handing it to him.

Alan doesn't look
too happy about it.

Yeah. I think Alan
was coerced here.

Can we get a better angle

of suspect number two?

How's that?

So, I already started
facial recognition.

But that...

that's got to be our mastermind.

Okay. Who is this guy?

His name is Colton Wolf.

Former A*F.

b*mb expert as well
as ballistics.

Yeah, he was head
of the Texas State Crime Lab

until about 18 months ago

when he was fired for cause.

Yeah. Ballistics was
called into question.

He was cutting corners, and when
the scandal came to light...

Dozens of cases thrown out.

Suspects released. Lawsuits.

Wolf's career was ruined.

Guess who was in charge of the
investigation when he got fired?

Dr. Alice Logan.Yep.

So there was a motive
for m*rder.

Revenge.Yeah.

He had the expertise
to make both devices.

First one he used
to m*rder Dr. Logan,

and the second to, uh...

destroy evidence.

Any idea where Colton Wolf is? LASALLE:
We're still working on it.

Texas Rangers went to his house.
He's not there.

What does this have to do
with Alan Van Scyoc?

Not Alan. His brother Carl.

Hired Wolf

as an expert witness
in his m*rder trial.

They had multiple meetings
at the parish jail.

And more than likely hatched
a plan to take out Dr. Logan.

Unfortunately, we can't use any

of Sebastian's videos. All of
our evidence is circumstantial.

And whether Alan
was part of the plan

or just a patsy, we can't tell.

He's not gonna talk to us
while he's in custody.

Plus, he's about to be
released, which means

he'll probably disappear.
Yeah, they both will.

We need hard evidence
to prove Wolf's involvement.

Seb...

Where'd he go?

Making a break for it, huh?

I can walk on my own,
and I can heal at home.

Hospital can use the room
for someone

who needs it. But youneed it.

The evidence

in your body is the only way
to catch two K*llers.

I can't let you leave.

You're not gonna strong-arm me

into having
a dangerous operation.

Yeah, you're right.

That-that wouldn't be my place.

But I just want to talk.

I've got nothing left to say.

Okay, I'll talk.

Um...

I was completely out
of line yesterday

when I tried to force
you to cooperate.

I didn't understand what
you had been through.

I do now.

And how's that?

I just went through it, too.

The second bombing. I was there.

My friend d*ed and, uh...

changed everything.

Well, then,
you should have the operation.

Trust me, Neila, I would
if I could, all right?

I guess that's where
our experiences...

they differ.

So there's nothing left to say.

You're scared.

All right, I get it.
You want more time.

I would, too. But-but
we don't have any,

and I'm-I'm worried.

About what?

Honestly? Uh, pretty much
everything in my life.

You know,
am I gonna be late for work?

Did I leave the stove on?

Did I annotate my senior year
thesis rigorously enough?

What?

It's just, I'm a worrier, okay?

That's, like, my thing.

But right now, I'm...
I'm worried about you.

You know,

yesterday, you could've run,

but you decided
to stay with Ben.

You tried to make a difference.
That's who you are.

And I'm worried
about how you're gonna feel

a month from now,
a year from now

when you realize that you could
have made a difference today.

I can't.

I feel powerless, okay?
I don't know if you do, too.

You were minding
your own business,

and then, suddenly,

everything fell apart
around you.

That's not your fault.

Well, I just want it to stop.

We can't stop chaos.

But... a friend of mine told me

that we can, uh, at least
find some order in it.

Now you can walk away.

I'm not gonna stop you.

Just know that right now,

you're the only person

who can restore some order
for the rest of us.

And I know that I, for one...

I'd really appreciate it.

Okay.

I'll do it.

Yeah?

Oh. Oh.

Oh, that's amazing.
That's...

Hey! Hey!

You hear that? Yeah, I did.

Oh, man, I feel giddy,
you know, like I could float.

Might be the head injury. I think it is.

Yeah, I feel real dizzy.
I need to sit.

Sebastian. Sebastian?

Help!

Dr. Brown to Oncology.

Dr. Brown to Oncology.

I have no idea
what just happened.

What happened is, you overdid it

and nearly
cracked your head open.

How long have I been out?

Two hours.

Neila.

She, uh... she said
she was gonna help us.

They're wrapping up the
operation now. It went well.

She's gonna be fine.
You, on the other hand...

what the hell were you thinking?

I don't know.

I just,
I wanted to work the case.

And you did, Sebastian.

We got the shrapnel.
Gonna have it analyzed.

Yeah? Well, all right.
Help me up. Let's go to the lab.

Uh... No.

Yeah.

You're not going anywhere.

Doctor says you
have brain swelling.

You need to rest. I can still work.

I will kick your ass
and leave scars

if you even try
to make a move out of the bed.

I think I'm gonna stay.

I think it's a good choice.

You did good, Sebastian.

But if you ever try
anything like that again...

I know. She'll k*ll me.

She'll have to wait in line.

This is what
the surgeons removed

from Neila Diseris...
a cell phone memory card.

Is that a serial number?

Partial, yes. Yeah, but
enough to trace

where the phone
was purchased. And by who.

Colton Wolf.

Yeah, bought this phone

and two others in a shop
last week in Houston.

Now I dug
into his browsing history.

He spent a lot of time on the
dark web looking for expl*sives.

Which clearly he found.

Yeah, Wolf's our b*mb-maker,

and he had Alan Van Scyoc
plant the first device,

and then, he snuck in the
second device in our evidence.

You know what
my next question's gonna be.

Where is he? Yeah.
That's the problem.

We tracked his
movements from Houston

within the last few days.

He checked into a hotel
outside of town.

Oh, yeah,
he definitely was here.Yeah.

But he's been off the grid since
the morning of the bombing.

We need to find him. Yeah, I guess by now,
he knows we're looking.

He could be anywhere.

There is one person
that could help us...

Alan Van Scyoc.

Yeah, but our time is up.

Van Scyoc is being
released from custody,

and we don't have
enough to hold him.

We may not be able
to arrest him again,

but we may be able
to get him to cooperate.

Yeah, but Wolf helped him
k*ll a woman

who would probably put
his brother in prison forever.

Why would he help us?

Pride had an instinct
that he was in over his head.

Brother or no brother,

he may not want to live
with blood on his hands.

Alan is at a hearing
for his release.

I'll call Pride,
meet him at the courthouse.

Alan Van Scyoc.

I don't need to talk to you.
Judge says I'm free to go.

You're right. You don't
have to say a word to us,

but this isn't over.

I'm not involved in this mess.

You know that's not true.

The judge said...

We know what the judge said,

and we're not here
to arrest you.

We're here to get
your assistance.

Three people are dead,
more injured, lives changed.

All right, we know
you're involved.

I didn't... But we don't believe
that you meant to be.

We think your brother and
Colton Wolf forced you.

If you're okay

with the damage that's been
done, then you should leave.

But if you're not,
you need to talk to us.

This isn't going away, Alan.

All right? You're gonna
feel the weight of this

for the rest of your life unless
you do something about it.

It wasn't supposed to be a b*mb.

It was supposed to be a warning.

Just a dead fish wrapped
in Dr. Logan's deposition,

just to back her off.

Who told you that? Colton.

I had no idea.
You have to believe me.

We do believe you, Alan.

Now you need to come back
to NCIS with us.

We'll work this whole thing out.

I just want to make this right.

Everybody down!
Get off the street!

Move! Move! Move!

Special Agent Pride, NCIS.

We got a sh**ting outside the
federal courthouse. One victim.

All right, we need
backup and an ambulance.

Suspect was on the balcony.
High-powered r*fle.

Did you get him? No. He's fleeing.

Go after him, Christopher. Am I dying?

No, no, no. You're gonna hang
on, Alan. You understand me?

You're gonna hang on.
That's what's gonna happen here.

Pride, it's Colton Wolf.

He's heading northeast
on Chartres!

One suspect,
armed and dangerous.

He's fleeing. This man needs
medical attention!

I'm on my way!

Want to go first?

After you, King.

You good?

Time of my life.

Wolf! You're surrounded.
There's nowhere to go.

It's over, Wolf.

Get your hands up, Wolf!

Nowhere to run!

Don't do it!

Alan Van Scyoc is gonna survive.

And when he gets out
of the hospital, he'll testify

that his brother colluded with
Colton Wolf to set both bombs.

Big brother's going for life.

Yeah, only wish Wolf would
have survived to do the same.

He took the coward's way out.

Yeah, well, thankfully,
we had some heroes

help us out on this one.

You know, Neila Diseris deserves
a commendation for what she did.

Already spoke
to her C.O. about just that.

Navy's lucky to have her.

Not for nothing, but Sebastian...

he deserves a commendation, too.

I mean, he put his life on the
line for this one, literally.

You know, I mentioned that to
him before he left the hospital.

He said no. He said
he was just doing his job.

Hmm. Sounds like something
you'd say, King.

You know, Sebastian's turned

into a pretty darn good
field agent, hasn't he?

Yeah, he has. He is smart,
he's brave, he's strong.

Real-life superhero.

Aah! Aah!

♪ Oh, why don't you call...

What's wrong now, Sebastian?

Soup is so hot!

Did you cook it in a cauldron?

Following the instructions
on the can.

This is canned soup?

♪ And now I got to fix you...

Yeah, well,
I was trying to concentrate

on your very specific
instructions

for the grilled cheese sandwich.

Yeah. About that... What's wrong with
the sandwich, Sebastian?

Uh, nothing.
It's-it's fine.

Just, supermarkets have
whole islands full

of international cheeses,
and you went with American.

Just kind of...

It's simple comfort food,
Sebastian.

Like from your childhood.

Well, there was nothing
comforting about my childhood.

If you're looking for sympathy,

I'm already playing nurse maid.

Aah.

You did get pretty scared
when I passed out, though, huh?

Of course I did.

'Cause you love me?

Of course I do, you idiot.

Also, I can't afford
the mortgage if you die, so...

I love you, too, Gregorio.

You know why?

Because I cooked for you?

Definitely not. That's... No.

'Cause you bring order
to my chaos.

♪ I'm prayin'
to that sweet melody... ♪

Cool.

You're gonna eat that?

Yeah. If I ever get feeling
back in my tongue...

Put it in your mouth!

Okay, all right.

Okay, I'm eating.
Here we go.

Mmm.
