01x08 - Legacy

[bunniefuu]

The United States Navy
has a storied history

with the Hawaiian people.

Not without complications.

Today marks a new chapter
in our shared history.

A chapter of understanding
and cooperation

as we return these sacred lands
to the Hawaiian people

who have lived here for generations.

(APPLAUSE)

Mahalo and aloha.

Hawaiian royalty once lived
upon these sacred lands.

It is pono, or right,

that it becomes Hawaiian once more.

We honor this land

with a traditional blessing.

(SINGING IN HAWAIIAN)

May all life grow

in these lands,

the abundant lands

of our natives.

Please forgive all of our wrongdoings

and grant us all long life.

♪ ♪

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- All right.
- Right.

Trouble follows you everywhere,
Captain Milius.

All I did was give a speech.

Admiral Wentworth got
called away last minute.

I stepped in.

Helping rebuild community relations.

Well, those relations
will have to wait a beat

until I find out
what happened to the victim.

Who's gonna tell them?

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

That's definitely your purview.

They're expecting us
to do the right thing,

and we want to do the right thing.

- So...
- Make it fast.

No surprises. Understood.

I'm gonna miss this.

TENNANT: What do we have?

Victim is a Jane Doe.

Estimating early-to-mid- s.

Bleeding.

Contusions.

Partial fracture in the skull.

She was bludgeoned.

Forensics estimates time of death

around : last night.

No ID. No phone.
No idea if she's military.

But since the land still
technically belongs to the Navy,

we take the lead on this.

LOCAL: Hey, get your hands off me.

- This is our land.
- TENNANT: It's okay.

They're fine.

We just want it back.

Eo. That's still the plan, okay?

Okay, we have a situation.

Oh, my God.

You know her?

Not by name, but she's one
of the haole protestors.

Protesting what?
This land's being given back.

Not here. That land over there.

Billionaire stole it.

Tell us more about the haoles.

Our victim is Kathy Laster.

years old. From Minnesota.

Local ID'd the protest group
she came with, WorldWorks.

Found photos of her on their socials.

TENNANT: Tell me about WorldWorks.

Eco-activist group dedicated
to "returning nature to nature".

Mostly peaceful.

- Mostly?
- Yeah, WorldWorks

is suspected of setting fire
to some office buildings

that encroached on natural habitat.

Can't argue with their spirit.

- Spirit of arson?
- Protecting the land.

We've always had to fight
to keep our land

from Kalama Valley to Mokauea

since .

Hawaiians protecting their lands

and disaffected college dropouts

throwing Molotov c*ck

are two very different things.

Why was Kathy Laster in Hawai'i?

Flight records

show Kathy arrived with her boyfriend,

WorldWorks founder Mike Williams,

and these other members last week.

They were here to protest the property

next to the crime scene.

Yeah, acres

bought by Damian Davenport,

the founder of Nine Clouds,

third largest server
company in the world.

Bought the land a couple years ago

and has been pissing off locals

with his construction ever since.

LUCY: WorldWorks staged
multiple protests this week

demanding Davenport return the land,

which is a sacred site.

JESSE: In return,

he bulldozed the heiau

and replaced it with a rose garden.

Damian is just another rich guy
putting up walls.

It's the same story, different jackass.

Did your family's land get taken?

KAI: No, but

we all feel the pain
of Hawai'i getting carved up.

It's about Aloha 'Aina,

a-a deep love and respect for the land.

Where are the WorldWorks protesters now?

- They've been in campsites all over the area.
- (PHONE VIBRATING)

Keep moving around.

In other words, we don't know.

Keep on it. Kai, come
with me to the M.E.

May she come to eternal rest
from samsara

and reach nirvana.

May she come to eternal rest
from samsara

and reach nirvana.

We interrupting?

Just the Buddhist prayer for the dead.

I can carry on later.

Ah, Tennant.

Haven't seen you in my neck
of the woods for a hot minute.

Ms. Laster an important victim?

They're all important victims,
Commander Chase.

Mm, truth.

You happen to know what k*lled her?

Rock.

More effective than paper,
more unwieldy than scissors.

Impact from the rock
fractured the cranium,

led to internal bleeding.

Died within minutes,

but they were a harrowing minutes.

Why harrowing?

Epidermal shedding
on the hands and knees

suggest she dragged herself

to her final resting place.

She was on the run.

Gaia giveth and taketh away.

She used the natural environment
to escape her k*ller,

but died anyway.

Gaia giveth any other evidence?

Pollen in the nasal passages.

TENNANT: You able to identify it?

Rosa damascena.

Damask rose. My grandmother
grew those back home.

Common on the mainland. Rare in Hawai'i.

Damian Davenport has a
rose garden on his property.

Think he knows anything
about Kathy Laster?

Time to find out.

They should call it "One Cloud" then.

(CHUCKLES) Why so antsy?

I don't like the waiting room treatment.

Ooh, wealthy people
always make you wait.

It's a power move.

- My badge is my power move.
- Mm-hmm.

Don't think that's gonna help.

(GASPS) Unless you want to throw it

at the wall of lawyers
Davenport'll have with him.

You think he'll have
his lawyer with him?

Lawyers. Plural.

And yes.

We're ready for you.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

We'll have this wrapped up
long before that.

(CHATTER CONTINUES)

Mr. Davenport. I'm Special...

Special Agent Boone
and Special Agent Tara.

Call me Damian.

Okay, Damian, we have a few questions.

Can we speak to you alone?

Afraid not. For efficiency's sake,

I've brought everyone
you might want to speak with.

My legal team and, uh, Jake Tillman,

- head of security.
- Your wife.

So, there was trouble on
the property adjacent to mine.

Someone died.

Yes. Jake told me about it.

It's a shame.

As you can imagine,
Damian has a rigorous schedule,

but we've budgeted

a few minutes to interface.

Well, this is a m*rder investigation,

so we'll take as much time as we need.

Where were you last night at : p.m.?

At home, with my wife.

We're lights out at : every night.

The woman who was k*lled,

Kathy Laster,

you know anything about her?

- Not a thing.
- LUCY: She's part of an organization called

WorldWorks, been protesting outside

your compound for a week.

It's a large property.

LUCY: Well, we believe

she was k*lled on that property.

I understand that.

And how do you feel
about the fact that a woman

was most likely bludgeoned
to death on your land?

How Damian feels is immaterial.

What Damian knows, however...

I don't know what happened,

but, uh...

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Inconvenience?

WorldWorks is an extremist group

with violent and unpredictable members.

They've had multiple run-ins
with law enforcement.

Why don't you speak with them?

'Cause we're speaking with you now.

My team has done a full work-up
of the organization.

I'm happy to share our findings.

Mrs. Davenport, do you recognize

- Ms. Laster?
- She does not.

- Mrs. Davenport.
- That is our time.

Make more.

NCIS has our full cooperation here.

Um, my legal team and Jake
are here to help you

with anything else you might need.

Uh, if you need to speak with me again,

please liaise through my office.

Thank you.

Rich people.

Captain Milius.

Little early for one of your
patented pep talks.

- I'm not here about the case.
- Refreshing.

I thought by not asking
you might volunteer something.

Eco-activists are in the wind,

and a billionaire's stonewalling us.

To be honest, I wanted to talk
to you about something else.

Would it be the fact that
you're being transferred?

Yeah.

How'd you know?

You said you'd miss me,
so I did some digging.

Opportunity came up at the Pentagon.

That's the one with the five sides.

Couldn't say no.

Well, you must be excited.

I am, and, uh...

I just wanted to say...

I've enjoyed working with you.

The feeling's mutual.

Okay, well, go solve a m*rder.

You free for dinner?

To celebrate your transfer, of course.

And the optics?

It's no longer an issue.

Yes, of course.

- Um... Dinner.
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

I'll call you.

Yeah.

PacFleet breathing down your neck?

(GROANS) The worst, huh?
What'd you learn?

WorldWorks just popped up on the radar.

HPD got a complaint

about the activists
at Davenport's compound.

Another protest?

It's more like a breach.

They rammed the gate.

Where is everyone?

HPD said they saw some people
running from the area.

Lost them in the woods.

(DISTANT YELLING)

Not all of them.

MAN: What're you doing? Let me go!

(GRUNTS) Get your hands off me, man!

(GRUNTING)

Federal agents!

g*n.

Registered and permitted.

(GRUNTS) What's going on here?

We responded to a disturbance
on the east gate

and found trespassers breaking in.

The others fled. I caught
this one on the property,

and I was forced to restrain him.

Doesn't explain the "tied
to a t*rture chair" situation.

- Or the head wound.
- He beat me like the gestapo.

He hurt himself trying to run,

and I was wearing the gloves to
protect myself from infection.

He's a liar and a thug.

You're a trespasser and a vandal.

I want to press charges.

Let me get you checked out,
and we'll take your statement.

Can we speak privately?

- Yeah.
- We'll clean you up.

I'm in the security business,
Special Agent.

It's my job is to assess risk
and resolve conflict

in order to protect
Damian and his family.

Your job was to call law enforcement.

I'm the one who alerted HPD.

Listen, that man in there,
Mike Williams,

has a history of violence,
a vendetta against Damian,

and has been known
to turn on his colleagues.

Are you suggesting
he had something to do

with Kathy Laster's death?

I know they were intimately involved,

and his arrest record includes as*ault.

- You've seen his arrest record?
- That's what I do.

Gather data and draw
the most logical conclusions.

Well, the most logical conclusion to me

is that your boss

doesn't want WorldWorks around.

Where were you last night?

, feet above the Pacific
on a company plane.

I was in San Diego on business.

- You can verify that?
- Of course.

I'll get the manifest.

I'm here to help.

I used to work for the FBI.
Cybersecurity.

I can be a resource.

Yeah, next time you want to help,

don't.

Tillman might be a weasel,
but his alibi checks out.

Manifest from the corporate jet

has him arriving into Oahu
after Kathy's m*rder.

KAI: And his intel's thorough.

Dossiers on every member of WorldWorks.

- Including Mike Williams?
- JESSE: Yeah.

Mike comes as advertised.
Set fire to a police car

while protesting
a pipeline in North Dakota.

Tried to tar and feather the CEO

of an energy company in Arizona.

Mike's willing to resort to violence

to get what he wants.

JESSE: Yeah, I mean, he's one
of these "true believers",

willing to do anything for
the cause, legal or otherwise.

He's overly passionate about the cause.

Yeah. Come on. Overly passionate?

Look, people like Damian Davenport

have been taking advantage of
Hawai'i for its entire history.

It's not hard to understand
Mike's anger.

He's the son of an
investment banker from Chicago.

This isn't his fight.

Yeah, well, it wasn't Kathy's either,

and she turned up dead.

Let's see if Mike Williams

can shine some light on this.

(SCOFFS)

How much did he pay you?

Damian Davenport?

I mean, that's the reason
I'm here, and he's free.

You're not under arrest,

and I'm not on the take.

(CHUCKLES) You work
for the federal government.

You're all on the take.

I mean, men like Damian, they own you,

then use their blood money

to steal local lands all over the world.

You don't have to explain
the concept to me.

Let's talk about Kathy Laster.

I'm not telling you
where any of my people are.

We know where Kathy is.

When's the last time you saw her?

(SIGHS) Two days ago

at the campsite,

but Kathy had nothing to do
with today's action, all right?

- She skipped out on us.
- You got into a fight?

Why's that any of your business?

You two were dating, right?

Maybe business and personal

didn't mix well?

Kathy and I have a...

shared passion for the cause.

She's the one who pushed us to
fly out here and take a stand,

but she lost her nerve.

She wanted to go home,
then we argued, she disappeared.

And then what happened?

And then?

We tried to storm the Bastille.
Now I'm here.

- What happened with Kathy?
- I don't know.

But, clearly, you do. You...

You said you know where she is.

What does that mean?

Is Kathy okay?

Is Kathy okay?

I don't see m*rder.

Despite his history,
Mike seemed genuinely torn up

last night over Kathy's death.

Could be shock. Could be guilt.

LUCY: He claims he was moving camp

with the WorldWorks group the night

in question, but we can't
find them to confirm it.

Still an island.

Have to come up for air at some point.

WorldWorks is a distraction.

Damian Davenport is the center of this.

JESSE: So what?

WorldWorks shows up
to his home, he gets upset,

and then beats one of them to death?

People like Damian
don't get their hands dirty.

Not over protests, at least.

We can't eliminate suspects yet.

We need to dig deeper.

The one thing we know
for sure is that Kathy

brought the group to Hawai'i
and then changed her mind.

Why?

Because she was paid to.

Not to change her mind...

you can't change people, they
can only change themselves...

but to fly here.

Kathy had an anonymous donor
to fund this trip to Hawai'i.

How anonymous?

From a Dubai shell company
to a Seychelles tax haven

and all the way

to a credit union in sunny Boca Raton.

Who sent the money?

Take a look.

Morgan Davenport. Damian's wife.

Morgan's a well-known philanthropist.

Gives millions to charity.

Well, she could house
a lot of the homeless

with the rent she pays here.

Appearances are everything
to the wealthy,

even when it's not-for-profit.

We should go in.

And run into a wall
of assistants and lawyers?

No. Let's wait for her to come out.

Why would Morgan finance
WorldWorks' trip here

to protest her own home?

She's been trying to get Damian
to sign The Giving Pledge,

maybe it's a way to put pressure on him.

I might not understand rich people,

but I understand motive.

Morgan doesn't have one.

Not yet, at least.

LUCY: Let's see if we can find out.

Mrs. Davenport, you mind
if we talk for a sec?

Special Agents.

Alan Shipley.

- I'm, uh...
- The lawyer. Yeah.

Mrs. Davenport's unavailable.

Please.

But I'm authorized
to answer any concerns

and provide a timetable
as to her whereabouts

the night in question.

Yeah, we need to, uh,
speak to Morgan directly.

I'd hate for this to be elevated
to the Nine Clouds' board.

Could become a whole thing.

You know our position.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS)

Elevated to the board, huh?

Scandal's the only thing
that scares them.

Not enough, it seems.

We need to get more out of these people.

You see that, across the street?

JESSE: Gray Ford. Dude with a camera?

Yeah, he's been taking pictures of us.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

You want to tell me what you're doing?

Exercising my freedom of
expression to make that kala.

- Mm.
- Who's paying you?

Anyone and everyone.

You a tabloid photographer?

I'm a freelance photographer.

Island's best. Wilbert Kalili.

What do you want with Morgan Davenport?

The money shot, baby.
Keep track of the big game.

Always pays off. Like one hunter

on the prowl.

Pays off how?

During the slow months,

could find her with the wrong people.

Sell the juicy stuff to the magazines.

Or to Morgan herself?

That's capitalism.

That's actually blackmail,
and it's ill*gal.

Just talking here, bruddah.

How about you show us what you got?

Sure. I-If you want to pay.

I give you good price, jawline.

(CLEARS THROAT) How much you want?

Depends.

How much you got?

Well, hopefully the photos
of Morgan pan out,

and you got a receipt
from the photographer.

- Keep me updated.
- I'm late.

I had a -minute conference
call that went two hours.

You're right on time.

Uh, any movement on the case?

Here's an idea, no work talk.

Agreed.

Thank you.

Full disclosure, uh,

I have not been out for an evening in...

- a while.
- (CHUCKLES)

Full disclosure,

I bet I have you beat.

What's your poison?

Cold beer?

Tequila it is.

Okay.

Uh, two tequilas, please.

- Yup. Right away.
- Thank you.

So, we've been working together

for a few months now,

and I know nothing about you.

Um...

I'm from Michigan.

My father owns a hardware store,

and my sister is an Episcopal priest.

We'll get back to that.

(CHUCKLES)

But first, tell me something about you

that I would never guess
in a million years.

I was in a ska band in college.

Played bass. We were popular.

We toured the Midwest,

but, um...

the pressure of fame got too much.

The band broke up,
and I joined the Navy.

Are you kidding?

Yes.

- (BOTH LAUGH)
- Of course you are. Thank you.

I did play bass, though, in college.

- Really?
- For the jazz band.

Oh, well, that makes more sense.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Okay.

- All right.
- All of it.

- Yes.
- How jazz band was that?

(LAUGHS)

Spam musubi.

Oh, can't. Intermittent fasting.

Not eating between : p.m.
and : p.m.

(GROANS)

I'll make an exception.

Mmm.

Eating is so underrated.

So, you get more insight
into why Morgan Davenport

financed Kathy's trip here?

Well, since Kathy's phone
is still M.I.A.,

I can't get into her messages.

What about Morgan's?

Well, A) we don't have
a warrant, and B)

anything public

is curated by her husband
and his company.

So, we're nowhere.

Mm, didn't say that

because the unofficial chatter online

is very spicy.

Dedicated to Damian's
extracurricular activity.

Spoiler alert, he likes women.

Particularly if they're not his wife.

And you think Kathy Laster was one?

Well, I think where there's
a dog, there's fleas.

Inoki excluded of course.

It's a shame if her death
comes down to a jealous spouse.

Well, you'd prefer a more noble motive?

She died trying to get the land back.

Aloha 'Aina. Her memory
shouldn't boil down to adultery.

- (CHUCKLES)
- That was nice.

It was.

Shame you're leaving.

I could get used to fun Captain Milius.

- I could put in papers.
- (CHUCKLES)

Get back in the music business?

I think I got my bass
somewhere in storage.

So...

I just wanted to say...

That was nice, too.

I was hoping for better than nice.

- Your kids?
- With their dad.

♪ ♪

Ah. You want some milk with your coffee?

(CHUCKLES) I don't even know...

Hey, there.

Hey.

I'm-I'm-I'm Captain...

I'm Joe. Your mom's...

- Friend?
- Yes.

And you must be...

Alex.

My-my mom's son.

I-I need my glove.

You like baseball?

Yeah. I-I-I do... Joe.

We have almond milk if you
want to put that... Alex.

Didn't expect you.

Clearly.

This is...

Joe. Yeah, we met.

Do you want breakfast?

I got practice, but thanks. Um...

Good to meet you, Joe.

(SIGHS)

Alex, listen.

There's literally nothing
that you could say

to make this less awkward right now.

Can we talk later?

Good plan.

So, uh, that happened.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Sorry. Got to go to work.

(PHONE KEYS CLICKING)

- You all right, boss?
- (PHONE WHOOSHES)

Yeah. Kid stuff.

What do we have?

This is a month's worth of

Morgan Davenport photos from Mr. TMZ.

Yeah, it cost me a month's salary, too.

Got her at the beach, events, yoga.

What we don't have are photos
of her with Damian.

Husband and wife living separate lives?

Could be two busy professionals.

Or signs of trouble in paradise.

We may not have Damian, but
we definitely have Kathy Laster.

TENNANT: They met.

And they weren't getting along.

Morgan flew her and her protest
group here for a confrontation?

We only know what we know.
They met. Bring Morgan in.

She'll try to stonewall us.

Tell her lawyer about
the photos. She'll come.

Anything to avoid a scandal.

Morgan Davenport. I believe there's been

some miscommunication
between our offices.

If that's how you'd like
to characterize it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

How would you describe your
relationship with WorldWorks?

Morgan has no relationship
with that organization.

The fact that she secretly funded

their trip to Hawai'i says otherwise.

Where are you getting your information?

Financial records. All legally obtained.

We thought it was because Morgan
wanted to put pressure on Damian

- to return the land.
- I do want that...

Morgan, please.

But now we know it's because
you have a more personal reason

to pressure your husband.

This is you coming out of

the Leach and Dunne family law practice.

Divorce lawyers.

You've been following her?

Alan, it'll come out eventually.

Yes, Damian and I are separating.

We have fundamental disagreements

on some ethical issues in his business.

Ethical issues in other places, too.

You didn't bring Kathy
out here to protest.

You brought her out here
for a confrontation.

This was taken the day before she died.

Why were you fighting?

It's complicated.

- I need a moment with my client.
- Un-complicate it.

Damian and Kathy

- had a special relationship.
- You're not listening to me.

- Special how?
- This isn't what Damian wants.

Morgan.

We can speak if you want to.

He's right.

Damian won't approve,
and it is not my place to say.

My husband is a flawed man,

always was.

When we were young, in Duluth,

I thought success would
help smooth the edges.

But some things never change.

(DOOR OPENS)

TENNANT: Morgan
Davenport wanted to talk.

Guilty conscience?

Or is she trying to point
the finger someplace else?

Never got far enough to figure it out.

She did mention that Damian

and Kathy Laster had
a special relationship.

Suggests an affair.

Could explain why Morgan brought her in.

Leverage for the divorce.
Affair means bad PR for Damian.

I mean, a m*rder would mean bad PR, too.

Duluth.

Morgan couldn't talk freely,

but she was trying to tell me something.

She mentioned when she and
Damian were young in Duluth.

Damian and Morgan

met and married in Minneapolis.

They never lived in Duluth,

and there's no connection
to Nine Clouds there either.

But Kathy spent

a lot of time there.
It's all over her socials.

Says it's her "happy place".

That place would make me happy, too.

Does Kathy come from money?

Uh, mother is a freelance bookkeeper,

and the house belongs to a trust.

A way to keep ownership discreet.

So, it's hush money.

Damian bought Kathy the house to
keep her quiet about the affair.

Mm. Wrong tree,

but right orchard.

Need to get Damian
away from his lawyers.

Any ideas?

Hawaiian common law can help.

You're on private property.

Actually, you're on private
property. I'm on the beach,

which in Hawai'i is public.

You know, I get exactly
one hour a day to myself,

and since you won't leave me
or my wife alone...

Let's get this over with.
Come on, take your best shot.

Oh, I'm not here to talk
about you or your wife.

I'm here to talk about your daughter.

Kathy Laster.

Let me tell you a story.

Stop me if I get it wrong.

years ago, you founded
Nine Clouds in Minneapolis.

Everyone who worked for you got
rich, except your bookkeeper,

Sarah Laster.

She left the company,

gave birth to a baby girl
six months later.

Kathy Laster was your daughter.

You bought the house
to keep her mother quiet,

and it worked.

Until your wife found out.

Flew Kathy here.

That's all you got?

That's all I need.

What happened to Kathy?

I didn't k*ll that woman.

Your daughter.

Look, I made some mistakes in my life.

Sarah was one of them.

I offered compensation
to protect my marriage

and Sarah.

The scandals would've hurt her, too.

What about protecting Kathy?

- She's not my responsibility.
- You really believe that?

You know what? There-There's
no proof of anything.

There's proof she was m*rder*d
on your property.

She ran for help
until she bled to death.

Now, if you didn't do it,

don't you want to know who did?

It's a tragedy.

I trust you'll find the k*ller.

I also trust you'll leave
these damaging rumors

out of the investigation.

LUCY: Tennant had no luck
breaking Damian, huh?

Admitted to buying the house
for Kathy's mom,

but wouldn't cop to being the father.

Got a lot on the line.

Billionaire divorces
tend to affect stock prices.

Nine Clouds could suffer.

There'd need to be proof
that Kathy's his daughter.

No way he'd take a paternity test.

Morgan could've collected
a sample secretly,

had the test run herself.

- LUCY: And shared it with Kathy.
- Oh.

I was just looking for you.

Any luck locating Kathy's phone?

Well, first of all,

luck is a human construct

designed to give meaning
to random acts of chance,

and in turn, comfort us
in a universe that is

inherently chaotic.

And Kathy's phone?

Well, that's why I was looking
for you. It was just turned on.

- You know where?
- Campground on the west side.

I'll send you the details.

Lucky break, huh?

Kathy's phone led us
to the WorldWorks campsite.

Protesters responded with force,

so, HPD rounded them up
and brought them in.

This is Mike Williams
and Kathy Laster's.

Found her phone and
personal effects in his tent.

Mike explain why he had
his girlfriend's phone?

Mike wasn't there.

And the WorldWorks members
claim not to know where he is.

- Think they're telling the truth?
- I got 'em

in the conference room.
I'm gonna find out.

And the phone?

It's locked.

Ernie's doing his thing.

All right, well, we'll
search this stuff.

(SIGHS)

So... oil money, huh?

Did you research me?

I'm sorry. It's a cop habit.

Yeah, my family's done well.

What? You just like to keep it a secret?

People look at you differently
when they think you're wealthy.

Money complicates things.

I think that's something
only rich people say.

My parents used money to control us,

tell us what to do, who to be.

I didn't like that.

Well, they must have loved
you going into law enforcement.

They did not.

Whoa.

Nine millimeter rounds.

But no g*n.

Mike is armed.

And in the wind.

Please tell me you were able
to crack Kathy's phone.

Wasn't the top recruit out of
Caltech 'cause of my good looks.

Well, that may have been
a factor. All right.

emails back and forth
from an unknown sender.

All about the trip to Hawai'i.

Probably Morgan.

Yes, but only one message

with an attachment.

KAI: A DNA test proving

Kathy and Damian are related.

Morgan knew.

She must have planned to use
this as leverage over Damian.

She's not the only one.

Mike Williams got into the phone,

forwarded the message to himself.

Mike knows Kathy is Damian's daughter.

And he's out there with a g*n.

I'm telling you, I'm not just going

to let you onto the property.

And I'm telling you,

a potentially dangerous man
is already on it.

The compound is secure.

WorldWorks has been here multiple times.

You don't think Mike knows
your vulnerabilities?

No warrant, no access.

We're trying to avoid
something terrible happening.

I have a full security staff
trained to do just that.

Mr. Tillman, there isn't much...

- What the hell was that?
- Probable cause.

We're entering the compound now.

You check the fire,
we'll check the house.

Fire's out of control.

Any sign of Mike Williams?

He wouldn't have survived this.

TILLMAN: Doesn't matter.

Damian's never here at this hour.

Just property damage.

It's a distraction.

♪ ♪

Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, you okay?

No, they're not.

Mike, need you to put the weapon down.

After he admits what he did.

There's nothing to admit.

Kathy was your daughter,

and you used her as a pawn.

- It's not true.
- Stop lying!

ERNIE: Hey, guys, got a series

of encrypted messages
from Kathy's phone.

Not the best time to chat.

Someone reached out to her
the night she died.

Encryption is next level.

Not even sure I can crack it, but...

- MIKE: You did this!
- ... I have an idea of who'd be capable of this.

In the middle of something
important here.

Me, too. I'm breaking the case,

finding the k*ller.

We might have another one on our hands.

Mike Williams is about to sh**t Damian.

Okay, okay. Your thing wins.
I'll keep working.

KAI: Hey, Mike,

this isn't the way, okay?

The truth. Now!

You k*lled Kathy!

I had no reason to k*ll that woman.

Morgan brought her in
as leverage for the divorce,

or to shame me.

I-I... I met with her.

She said I was her father,
had DNA to prove it.

I offered to pay her to leave,
and-and... and she refused.

- And then you beat her to death.
- No.

I called my lawyers. I told them
we had a problem on our hands.

But she was your daughter,
not a problem!

Hey, think of Kathy here.

I'm doing this for her.

TENNANT: No. You're doing this for you.

She wouldn't want you
to spend your life in jail.

All because of him?

(GASPS SOFTLY)

- (g*nsh*t)
- (GROANS)

- (DAMIAN GASPS)
- Put the g*n down, Tillman, now!

TILLMAN: I got him, Damian.

- (MIKE GROANING)
- You're safe now.

(GROANING)

Gonna apply pressure, okay?

We need an ambulance. Code .

Stay with me, Mike. Stay with me.

- You got it.
- (GROANING)

(GARBLED RADIO TRANSMISSION)

I'm assuming Damian and Morgan
are free to go, correct?

They are. You, however,
need to come with me.

I've given my statement.

I was justified
in sh**ting an armed intruder,

and helping to catch
Kathy Laster's k*ller.

You're half right.

Mike Williams didn't m*rder Kathy.

You're not still suggesting
that Damian was involved.

My people found messages
on Kathy's phone

with intelligence-level encryption.

It took a minute to
decode them, but we did it.

They're from you...

inviting Kathy to meet you on
the grounds the night she died.

I wasn't even on the island that night.

I was on the company jet.

Or at least said you were.

Check the manifest.

This one?

The real manifest?

The one you showed us was doctored.

Why would I do any of this?

You've been hiding Damian's
dirty laundry for years.

And you knew an illegitimate daughter

would open the floodgates.

I would never k*ll anyone.

You probably offered her money at first.

But Kathy couldn't be bought.

So you panicked, took the
situation into your own hands.

You've worked for Damian for a decade.

This is your one chance
to explain to him

why you k*lled his daughter.

I want to speak to a lawyer.

I'm sure that can be arranged.

The recent tragic events
have opened all of our eyes.

And in dedication to Kathy Laster,

my daughter,

and her work as an activist...

... we are offering our land

to the people of Hawai'i.

Dude doesn't believe a word he's saying.

He went through all that,
and didn't change one bit.

Public perception of him will.

He's got the divorce,
the m*rder*d daughter.

God knows how many other
affairs that'll be outed.

The board'll force him to resign.

He's trying to get in front of the train

before it runs him down.

Not sure that's how trains work,

- but I get your point.
- (JESSE CHUCKLES)

Morgan's done, too.

The philanthropy world's
not gonna respond well

to what she did.

Look, land's going back
to where it belongs.

Tillman's gonna get -to-life.

Mike Williams is gonna survive.

It's not fair, but it's justice.

It's something.

So, how rich is your family?

I could tell you, but
it'd only make things weird.

Well, we love you no matter
how much dough you have.

(LAUGHS)

Eo. This land is returned to you.

(OTHERS ASSENTING)

To the future generations and
the stories they will tell here.

Kamau!

ALL: Kamau!

Oh.

What's this?

Parting gift.

For me?

For Alex.

You know he's got a glove.

Yeah. This one can be his backup.

How is he?

I don't know.

Haven't had the "look who
mom brought home" talk yet.

- You worried?
- Almost always.

It's the joys of being a mom.

But this... this will be fine.

Maybe our paths will cross again?

Joe.

Next time you're in Hawai'i,
I'm expecting a call.

Thank you.

A little awkward, but nice.

He is.

Gonna see him again?

Never say never.

Ooh. Well, until then,
