(sighs)

I got to admit...

I'm a little jealous
of that guy.

Yeah. Who doesn't
want to reel in a floater

on Lake Pontchartrain
on a Tuesday morning?

Not the body, Percy.

The Luhrs .

You know those words
mean nothing to me.

His boat. It's about as nice
a sport fisher money can buy.

Saving up for one
for myself, actually.

Used, of course. And
when I get it, hey,

pack your fishing rod,
'cause we hittin' the water.

That's gonna be a hard pass.

Come on, City Mouse.
Look, sun shining,

wind in the hair,
cooler full of drinks...

Seasickness, sunstroke,
animals dying.

That's not my scene,
Country Mouse.

(phone rings)
(sighs)

It's your dad, huh?

Yeah, I'll call
him back later.

When was the last time
you talked to him?

Uh, not since he came
to town a few months ago.

What's up with that?

Well, I know how the
conversation'll go, all right?

He'll tell me to
grow up, he wants me

to run the family business.

I'll say, "No,
I got a life here."

Then he'll get
angry, hang up,

and not call me back for
another couple months.

Long as you
got it figured out.

Christopher, Sonja.
Where's Dwayne?

Oh, he's with Gregorio,

wrapping up paperwork
on a hijacking case.

LASALLE:
Yeah, we'll fill him in.

What you got?

Petty Officer
First Class

Theo Rollins,

at least according
to the one good print

I was able to get.
Master at Arms

from Belle Chasse.
He's been UA since Friday.

Cause of death appears to
be three GSWs to the back.

Based on the water temperature

and skin slippage,
I'd estimate the body's

been submerged two to four days.

Suggests he was k*lled
shortly after he went missing.

Sounds and looks like
a body dump.

Yes.

Notice the pattern abrasions
on the cheek.

(camera clicking)

There's debris
in the tissue.

I'll be able to retrieve it
during autopsy.

Might be able to give you a
clue as to where he was k*lled.

SEBASTIAN: And this might
give us a clue as to why.

Found this in his pocket.

MDMA-- people's
favorite party drug.

Got to be a couple
thousand dollars worth here.

Yeah, you think he was dealing?
That kind of weight's

not for recreational use.
WADE: Something else

you should see, Christopher.

Wristband
from Delilah's Music Club.

That place on Frenchman.
That mean something?

Yeah, Pride
used to play there.

Yeah, he-he's worked
with that family for years.

So, m*rder*d sailor,

illegal narcotics and
a popular music club.

I'm thinking
drug deal gone wrong.

Maybe. But we need
to do our diligence.

Percy, you head to Belle Chasse,

talk to Theo's C.O.

See if he had any prior issues
with dr*gs. Sebastian,

you stay here and work
the rest of the crime scene with Miss Loretta.

- Get the body back to autopsy.
- Copy that.

I'll meet up with Pride,
check out Delilah's.

♪ ♪

Haven't been to Delilah's
in a long time, Christopher.

A lot of famous names
walked through those doors.

Fats Domino,
Irma Thomas...

My mama had a standing gig
on Monday nights.

That was when Delilah
was still running the place.

She was a complex woman.

Your mother or Delilah?
(chuckles)

Both. But I meant Delilah.

She kept the place
running her way

no matter how many
shakedown artists

and mobsters tried
to muscle in.

Her son Felix
runs it now, right?

Like mother, like son.

He's kept the doors open
seven days a week

through ups and downs,
even Katrina.

(whistles) Takes a
lot of hard work.

Well, Felix loves music.

More than anything.

(blues music playing)

♪ ♪

Okay, okay, all right.

All right, let's, uh,
take that from the top.

PRIDE: I'd drop a seventh
on that C chord.

That'd be so nice.

You always loved
the sevenths.

(chuckles):
Yeah.

- Just makes it interesting.
- Yeah. That's your weakness, Dwayne.

You're always interested
in playing more interesting

rather than consistent.

(chuckles):
I hold my own.

That you do.

You want to jump in?

I mean, you know you're
always welcome.

Yeah, well,
any other time, Felix.

But this is not a social visit.

Oh.

JOSIE:
Mr. Dwayne!

Hi.
Hey, Josie.

I thought we agreed to just...
Ah.

Dwayne.
I know,

Dwayne.
She's polite as she is talented.

Um, this is Neil,
Daddy's partner.

Uh, junior partner.

(phone rings)
How you?

Excuse me.
I got to take this.

Yeah.

You got a
partner now?

Well, I'm getting too old
to do it all myself.

Plus, Neil is
practically family.

Uh, is he, now?
Yeah.

But like you said,
you're not here

on a social call.

I can see that
your guy's

questioning my staff.

Want to tell me
what this is all about?

Yeah.
Theo Rollins.

What about Theo?

He's dead.

FELIX:
How'd it happen?

He was sh*t.

Oh...
Dumped in the lake.

Oh, my God.

You know who did it?

Trying to figure that out.

You all were close?

I, uh...

caught him breaking
into my club.

He was .

Nothing but a hoodlum.

I didn't call the cops, I...

offered him a job
sweeping floors.

JOSIE:
More than that-- Daddy...

fed him, and he, you know, made
sure he did his homework.

He saved him.

Didn't have
any other family.

JOSIE: We were
so proud of him

when he joined the Navy.

Thinking he might've
gotten back into the life.

He had...

dr*gs on him, a lot of 'em.

Oh, no, sir. No.

No, you're mistaken.

I'm afraid not, Felix.

Theo's parents are addicts.

He hated dr*gs.
He didn't even drink.

When we found him, he had
a Delilah's wristband on him.

Either of you see him
Friday night?

No, sir.

LASALLE: A number
of your employees

said they did.

Well, I-I didn't.

I mean, the-the club
was jumping, you know.

I didn't have a chance

to check every
customer at the door.

How about you, Josie?

No. I didn't.

LASALLE:
Well, they're obviously lying.

The question is, why?

They're in shock.

Might just be protecting
Theo's reputation.

Or it might be they know
something about his m*rder.

You're saying
they're involved?

Well, I'm saying we should
at least look into it.

Hey, Lasalle,
you got a call

from a woman named Rose,
said it was important.

My stepmother?
She never calls.

- I better see what's up.
- What do you know?

I've been running down
those MDMA tabs

we found in Theo's jacket.

NOPD's been seeing
this new drug on the street

over the past few months
called Yellow Joy.

Any Intel on who's dealing it?
No, but Narcotics

thinks it's coming
out of one of the music clubs.

Could be our victim
who was pushing.

Theo Rollins's parents
were addicts.

He worked hard to make sure
he didn't meet the same fate.

Doesn't explain
the felony weight

of the dr*gs we
found in his jacket.

PATTON: No, but
I think we can.

I was at Belle Chasse
searching Theo's quarters.

Found this.

PRIDE:
Log of drug purchases?

So he was dealing.
No.

Buying.
And not for personal use.

More like gathering evidence.

Theo was a master-at-arms.

He working a narcotics case?
PATTON: He was given

a surveillance detail,
going after

drug dealers near the base.

He had access to some
advanced equipment.

Motion-activated cameras

with audio and video feed.
SONJA: Theo checked

one of them out a few days
before he was k*lled.

His commander says he has no
idea where the equipment is now.

PATTON: See, once these
cameras are installed,

the user can access them
on the cloud from any location.

Does that mean
you can access it, too?

Well, I haven't gotten the feed yet.

But I did trace the signal.

PRIDE:
Delilah's.

SONJA: Theo Rollins
was monitoring

your friend's club.

May have gotten
k*lled for it.

Okay...

so we dig deeper.

Patton, get into that
camera feed, all right?

I want to know
what Theo was recording.

Sonja, Gregorio,
take a closer look

at Delilah's--
if dr*gs were coming out,

there'll be more evidence.

Christopher, I need you to
check in with your CIs.

Hey.

What's wrong?

My dad.

He's dead.

He was out on
the balcony,

drinking coffee,
reading the paper.

All the sudden...

collapsed.

Gone before the
ambulance got there.

I'm so sorry, Chris.

He tried calling me
this morning, you know?

I didn't answer.

Come on, don't-don't do that
to yourself.

Last conversation we had
was an argument.

I know things didn't
end well that night.

But your father loved you.

You got to know that.

Yeah.

But I should have
answered his call.

Why didn't I?

'Cause you didn't know
any of this was gonna happen.

I got to get home.
Yeah.

Absolutely.

You okay, Country Mouse?

I think so.

I don't know.

Hey, you need anything,
we're here for you, you hear me?

Feel like I'm leaving
y'all hanging.

No.

You go to your family.

Come on, I'll
walk you out.

PRIDE: Know we're all hurting
for Christopher.

He's gonna need our support.

And we'll be here for
him when he needs us.

But right now, we got to be
here for Theo Rollins, too.

Find his k*ller. Patton,
that surveillance equipment

at Delilah's still operating?
Yeah.

It's motion-activated. I'm
working on accessing the feed.

All right, keep at it.

What'd you learn
at Delilah's?

Well, I didn't find
any direct connection

between the club
and the drug trade,

but I did find out your friend's
club was on the verge

of bankruptcy
a few months back.

Days away from
foreclosure.

All of a sudden,
the debts are wiped out.

Mortgage and vendors are paid
up, place is flush with cash.

No record of bank loans,
new credit lines.

Sudden windfall that's all cash?
Sounds like drug money.

PRIDE:
Yeah, sounds like it.

But it's not proof.

Felix has a new partner--
Neil Clydell.

I met him this morning.

Could be the reason
for the cash.

GREGORIO: We'll run
background on him.

Yeah, good, and I need
you two to go check in

with Loretta and Sebastian,
see if they've learned anything

from the autopsy.
Theo believed

something bad was happening at
Delilah's, but to move forward,

we need hard evidence,
not theories.

GREGORIO:
Okay.

(jet airplane passing)

(piano music playing)

(light chatter)

(sighs)

Christopher?
Rose.

You made it.

How you doing?

Well, we all knew it was
going to happen at some point.

Just doesn't make it
any easier, does it?

Well, what do you
mean, "We all knew"?

That Beau was sick.

His heart.

I-I know he told you when
he came to New Orleans

the other month.
That was...

what the trip
was all about.

Rose, he...

he didn't say a word about it.

(sighs)

Your daddy was... unique,
wasn't he?

Stubborn, too.

But he shouldn't have
left you in the dark.

What about Cade?

I tried calling him
after we talked

and couldn't get through.

Your brother had
another bad spell.

He checked back into
that facility in Auburn.

I didn't have the heart
to call up there.

Thought you might
like to be the one to.

Yes, ma'am.
I'll handle it.

We also have to figure
out the funeral.

Beau left detailed
instructions, of course.

There's just
so much to do.

Rose, hey, it's okay, all right?

I'm... I'm here now,
all right?

Whatever you need,
I'm here to help you.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you're
here, Christopher.

WOMAN:
Chris Lasalle,

always there when
you need him.

Rachel Modine.
Yeah.

(both chuckle)

Wow, it's been...
How long has it been?

Uh, graduation,
I think.

Still wore braids
in my hair.

I'm so sorry

about your dad, Chris.

Thank you.

It means a lot
that you're here.

Of course I came.
I'm your father's attorney.

Your attorney now.
(scoffs)

Seems like I'm the last one
to know anything around here.

Been working with your dad
for two years.

Looking forward
to working with you.

Working on what?

On everything.

Beau named you
executor of the estate.

LASALLE:
He can't do that, right?

Not without my permission.

Actually, he can,
and he did.

(scoffs)
Unbelievable.

Obviously, I assumed
he already told you all this.

Well, he didn't.
Guess that means

he didn't tell you
you're in charge

of Lasalle Enterprises as well.

You're kidding.

No, of course you're not.

Beau said

you had discussed
taking over the business.

He came down and wanted me
to sign some papers.

I already told him
I had a life and career.

Foolishly,

I thought that was
the end of it.

Well, it's not.

Because Beau's gone now,
and... you're the boss.

(chuckles)
That's my father for you.

Even in death,
he gets the last word.

WADE: I recovered the b*llet
from Mr. Rollins's body.

There's no sign of
foreign DNA or prints.

Yeah, the lake washed away
most of the trace evidence.

Most, not all?
No.

Those cuts on Theo's face--

based on the petechial bruising,

I'd say the impact happened
concurrently with death.

I also extracted
paint chips lodged

in the tissues.
Right,

and then I took
a photomicrograph

of those paint chips
just to get a closer look.

This is lead-based paint.

There's several
coats of it, too.

This stuff's been banned
since the ' s.

Does it make it easier to trace?

Well, in this
particular case,

yeah, because this top layer,
it's this-this pale green.

It's an exact match
to the exterior of Delilah's.

Yeah, and I took a little
field trip out to the club.

Went through the place
with a fine-tooth comb

until I found this
in the back alley--

nine millimeter casing.

WADE: Same caliber
as the slug I pulled

from the victim.
Yeah, I still have to

run ballistics to
confirm, but...

Theo Rollins was k*lled
right behind Delilah's.

On a night when
Felix Hill denies

even seeing him in his club.

Mm.

SEBASTIAN:
Guys, I got something.

But it's one of those good news,
bad news kind of things.

SONJA:
What's the good news?

Patton accessed the camera

that Theo installed
in Delilah's.

What's on it?
That's the bad news.

The camera was monitoring
Felix's office.

Pride's not gonna
like what he sees.

Whatever it is, Sebastian,
I'll deal with it.

Roger that.

PRIDE:
That's Felix's office.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, the camera
went up a few days

before Theo was k*lled.
Most of the footage

is pretty boring stuff--
you know,

Felix answering phones,
paying bills.

- No smoking g*n.
- So why am I gonna be upset?

Because of what was
recorded this morning,

after you and Lasalle
interviewed him.

Why did you lie to them?

FELIX:
Not now, Josie.

JOSIE:
You said you hadn't seen Theo.

But I saw you two arguing
the day he d*ed.

Why didn't you
just tell Mr. Dwayne?

FELIX:
It's complicated.

JOSIE:
Well, then explain it to me.

I told Theo to let it go
or he'd get hurt,

but he just kept
messing with it.

JOSIE:
Let what go? Messing with what?

FELIX: Josie, no more questions,
all right? I'll handle it.

But we cannot talk to
the police. Do you understand?

(Josie scoffs)

(door slams on video)

Guess your friend's
involved after all.

Anymore footage
like this, Sebastian?

I don't know. Patton's scanning
the rest of the feed right now.

Let me know if you
find anything else.

I'll talk to Felix.

Want someone to go with you?

No.

(sighs)

(car alarm chirps)

Felix, hey.

Need to talk to you.

No time tonight, Dwayne.

Maybe tomorrow.
It's either out here

or back at NCIS
in cuffs.

(scoffs) Stop playing.
I'm not playing.

You lied to me today.

You absolutely saw Theo
the night he d*ed.

You argued with him.

You need to mind
your own business.

This is my
business, Felix.

A sailor was m*rder*d
outside your club,

and every piece of evidence
leads straight to you.

You think I k*lled Theo?

He was like my own son.

Then explain it to me.

Why was he gathering
evidence of dr*gs

being purchased in your club?

Why was he surveilling
your office?

Why was he k*lled?
You don't understand.

Try me.

I told him to
stay out of it.

He was always so protective.

I told him
he'd get hurt,

but he wouldn't listen.

I can't say anymore.

I'm trying very hard

to not believe you're running
dr*gs out of Delilah's,

but right now,
I'm the only one.

Rest of my team is ready
to take you down.

Why on Earth won't you talk?

Because somebody else
is gonna get k*lled.

If someone's
threatening you, Felix,

threatening Josie, I can help.

Yeah, that's what Theo said.

And you see
what happened to him.

Now, if you're
not gonna arrest me,

I'm going inside
my damn house.

Then I guess I'm
gonna arrest you. (rapid beeping)

(car alarm blaring)

(indistinct radio chatter)

Pride,

you sure you don't want
to go to the hospital?

No, no. All cuts and bruises.

Felix took the worst
of the blast.

Thanks, Eugene.
No problem.

Any word on him?

I called the hospital.
He's in surgery, but okay.

All right, have them
post a guard.

Whoever did this might try
and come back to finish the job.

It's probably the same person
that k*lled Theo.

Look, he didn't say anything
before the b*mb went off?

Not much, just that
he was being threatened.

Probably by whoever was
selling dr*gs at the club.

Theo tried to help.
So Felix was scared.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah,
with good reason, too.

Come check this out.

So the suspect

tried to make it
look like an accident,

created a gas leak in the house.

He attached a remote detonator

to the electrical
outlet right there.

Which Felix triggered
when he opened the door.

Yeah. If you hadn't pulled him
away from the entrance,

he would've b*rned to a crisp.
Remote transmitter, right?

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, uses an RF
signal to trigger the spark.

It's simple, but effective.

Mean something to you, Sonja?

Dixie Mafia uses firebombs
like that to take out enemies.

I thought those guys
were out of commission?

Most of the leadership's
behind bars.

There's plenty of soldiers
still operating.

And dr*gs are their
main business.

All right,
Sebastian and I'll head back.

Start looking
into any connection

between Delilah's
and the Dixie Mafia.

You two go to
the hospital.

Josie should probably
be there by now.

See what she can tell us.
GREGORIO: Pride.

What?

We'll find whoever
did this to your friend.

Yeah. We'd better.

(sighs)
You got to be kidding.

Not as bad as it looks.

That's the same thing
you said about my arm

when I fell off that horse
at Joey Tanner's birthday party.

In my defense,
I was ,

and I'd never seen
a broken arm before.

(sighs) What do I know about
running a business, Rachel?

Right, spreadsheets, accounting,
balancing the books...

Those are all pretty
much the same thing.

But that's why I'm here.
I'll help you.

Every step of the way.

And look,
I know it's a lot.

You need to take
your time.

Mourn your dad.

Get your head around
all this.

Ah, what was he thinking?

He knew I didn't want
any part of this.

He also knew that the
business in your family

needs to be taken care of.

This was just like him,
you know.

Determined to get his way,
no matter what.

That's one way
of looking at it.

Look, Beau chose you

because he knew you'd handle it.

He believed in you...
and trusted you'd do right.

If that's how he really felt,
he... never told me.

All right,

I guess I can stick around
for a couple extra days,

sort this all out.

Christopher...
this isn't

a "couple of days"
situation.

It's a full-time job.

You own the company.

employees waiting
on your word.

You need to move back home,

to Alabama.
(scoffs)

What are you talking about?

For a little while, at least.

(phone rings)
Six months.

Maybe a year.

Hold on.

Percy, what's up?

SONJA: Don't freak out.
Pride's been hurt.

What?

(playing blues melody)

♪ ♪

Josie.

I'm Special Agent Gregorio.

I work with Dwayne Pride.
How's your dad doing?

Um, yeah,
his surgery went well.

Doctors say he won't be
awake for a few hours, so...

Good, good, good.
How are you?

You must be kind
of scared, huh?

It doesn't seem real.
Yeah.

First Theo, and now...
this.

This must bring up a lot of
questions for you, huh?

Like, who'd want to
do this to them?

Or what were they
involved in?

They weren't involved
in anything.

Someone's running dr*gs
through your club.

Theo knew, your dad knows,

and you should know it, too.

You're accusing my father
of dealing dr*gs?

No, but he got
caught in the middle.

What do you want from me?

Information.
I don't know anything.

Ah, see, I don't know
if that's true.

I think you do know
what's happening,

and you want to
talk about it,

you're just afraid to.

NEIL: Josie.
Am I right?

Hey.

Can you excuse us
for a minute?

We're in the middle
of a conversation.

Is that what you want, Josie?

For me to leave?

Um, I think I need
to get some air.

So, no.

NEIL: Well, then,
let's get out of here.

You heard her.

What's up?
You look concerned.

I'm just wondering why
all the men in Josie's life

keep stopping her
from talking.

Who is this guy she's with,
anyway?

Neil Clydell, Felix's
partner at the club.

Yeah, I don't like him.

Well, we checked him out.
No record. He's a citizen.

Then we need to dig deeper,
and we need access

to Josie's phone.

Wait, you think
he's dangerous?

I think we need to
keep an eye on them,

just to be sure.

So, Neil Clydell has been
running music clubs

his entire adult life.
No legal trouble that we found.

But he does have
an interesting résumé.

Right, so the last two clubs
that Neil ran--

one in Biloxi,
the other in Nashville--

they both b*rned down
after police

started drug investigations.

Owners d*ed in the fires, too.

That's more than
coincidence.

PATTON:
It's genetics.

Neil's father and grandfather
were lieutenants

in the Dixie Mafia,
till they went to prison.


Yeah, we're thinking that
Neil's a front man,

handling the legitimate business

while someone else
does the dirty work.

Any idea who that might be?

No, I'm running
background checks

on Delilah's employees
right now.

Gregorio had me hack
into Josie's phone--

she did a lot of texting

with Neil today.

Mostly demanding to know
what the hell is going on.

Josie's been dating Neil,
probably trusts him.

What was his response?

To meet Josie at the hospital
and drive her away.

Percy and Gregorio
did follow them

to his house in Lakeview.

They need to get Josie out now.

GREGORIO: They got here
about minutes ago.

They've been inside
ever since.

PRIDE:
Get in there and arrest him.

Yeah, understood.

PRIDE: Be careful.
Okay.

Clydell's Dixie Mafia.
We're gonna bring him in.

(g*nshots)
GREGORIO: Oh, my God,

Josie!

Federal agents!

Percy!

He's dead.

But where's Josie?

All right.
GREGORIO: He's been sh*t twice in the chest

and we can't find Josie.
Okay.

Neil Clydell was
sh*t twice in the chest,

and there's no sign
of Josie anywhere.

You think she went
k*ll Bill on him?

Got revenge for her father?

She's a singer,
not a k*ller.

Well, I don't know,
sometimes people snap.

Not this time.
Gregorio said there were

signs of a struggle
after Neil was k*lled.

Someone dragged
out the back door,

and Josie's phone
ditched in the yard.

Okay, so there was
a third person in the house.

Yeah, and we need to find him.
(phone chimes)

And we need to find Josie.

Well, Gregorio's about
to send me some prints

that she found inside the
house-- I can run those.

Good.
What can I do to help?

Christopher, what...

Percy told me about the b*mb.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Fine.

You-you should be home.

I'm more useful here.

Get me an I.D. on the
third person in that house.

I'm on it. You good?

Yeah, thanks.

PRIDE:
Come on.

What's going on, Chris?

Well, like I said,
I heard about the b*mb,

thought you might need
some help, so here I am.

I have plenty
of help on the case.

And you got something else
on your mind right now.

It wont distract me
from work,

if that's what
you're worried about.

I'm more worried about
the work distracting you

from what's going on
back home.

I'm good.
You're anything but.

You want to be here
right now...

you need to tell me
what's going on.

My dad knew he was sick, King.

All right,

when he was here, he looked me
straight in the eye,

and he knew he was dying...
and didn't say a word about it.

That's a lot to deal with.

He named me
executor of the estate,

gave me control
of the company--

everything he knew
I didn't want.

Your father was
a complicated man.

But he also believed in you.

He could have said it.

At least once.
You know, out loud.

I think this was his way
of saying it.

I can't do it.

All right, I can't
take it all on, but...

...somehow I feel like
I don't have a choice.

It's your family.

This is my family, too.

My home.

What am I supposed to do?

You're the only person
who can figure that out.

I know it's a lot.

I know you're wondering
what the hell

your father was thinking,
but he... trusted you

to handle this.

And that's what
you're gonna do.

(scoffs)

That easy, huh?

Nah, nothing easy about it.

SEBASTIAN:
Pride.

I got something.

So, Percy and Gregorio
found those fingerprints

in a living room closet

in Neil Clydell's house.

They match a Dixie Mafia
member named Sam Chambers.

Supposed to mean
something to me?

No, because Chambers changed
his name to Jansen

six months ago,

right before he got
a job as a bartender

at Delilah's.
LASALLE: I questioned him

at the club the other day.

His prints were on
the inside of the closet.

Suggesting he was
laying in wait.

Why would he k*ll Neil?

Well, Neil and Josie were
in a relationship.

- - Maybe Sam questioned his loyalty.
Tying up loose ends.

But why not sh**t Josie, too?

He's got other plans for her.
PRIDE: Wha...?

What is it, Sebastian?

Those two clubs that Clydell ran
that b*rned down,

where the owners d*ed
in both cases?

They were made to look like

they started the fires.

A frame-up job.

And Chambers has
a history of arson

and expl*sives
on his rap sheet.

PATTON: Pride.
Motion-activated camera

Theo put in Felix's office
just turned on.

SEBASTIAN:
Are they rigging it to burn?

PRIDE:
Zoom in, Patton.

Come on, hurry up.

LASALLE:
That's Josie.

SAM: Grab it.

Have Gregorio and Percy
get there now.

Chris, with me.

All right, let's go.

PRIDE:
Okay.

You get the employees out.
I'll go after Josie.

I need everyone
to clear this building.

- What's going on?
- Everybody out now. Let's go, come on.

(beeping) NCIS! Hands where
I can see 'em.

(g*nshots)

(grunts)
(device beeps)

One suspect down.

Jansen's wounded,
heading out the back.

You got to grab him, Chris.

Come on.

What about you, King?

Fire's already been set.

It's bad.

I'm going in
for Josie.

Can't go in there alone.

You get Jansen. I got this.

You got it.

Josie. Hey. Hey. Come on.

(grunts)

(straining)

What the...?

LASALLE:
Sam!

Federal agent!
Stop where you are!

Everybody...
everybody get down! Get down!

Take cover!
(people screaming)

Cover, take cover!

(siren wailing)

(tires squeal)

On the ground!
Drop your w*apon!

Do it!

Move!

Move!

(shouts)

You good?

Yeah.
Where's Pride?

He's in there!

PRIDE:
All right.

I'm gonna get you
out of here.

Hey, King!

In here, Chris!

- King! King!
- Can't get out. Got to move the beam.

(straining)

PRIDE:
We don't have much time.

King! We got
a fire extinguisher.

(fire extinguisher whooshing)

(straining)

(grunts) Okay.

Come on.

Get the fire extinguisher
in there!

Hurry!
Got it!

(Pride coughing)

you came back now.
