AMANDA: Previously on Will Trent...

I can't believe you
have a college-aged son.

- How old are you?
- How old is your mom?

You are years old.

That is not even close to
old enough to be in this club.

Weren't you doing a lot
worse? I mean, you had a kid!

I've known you your entire life.

I have high expectations for you.

Jeremy's grown now.
What's your next move?

WILL: Why is the Georgia
Bureau of Investigation

getting involved in a homicide?

AMANDA: Victim's
grandfather's a billionaire.

He called the governor,
who then called me.

Oh. The governor. That's right.

You have an unreasonable boss, too.

That's your new dog walker.
Nico. Sweet kid. Runaway.

You're here because someone
sold you to that freak.

I can help you.

ORMEWOOD: Hey, what was that
tattoo your girl had on her?

That's Zero Mile. That's
the trafficking ring

that Vice has been after for years.

This girl's my sh*t.

I know that I can get
her to turn witness.

WOMAN: Just leave it! We gotta go!

Oh, my God! Please hurry!

[♪]

What about your mom's?
Come on. We can go there.

We're not getting her involved in this!

We're not getting anyone
else involved in this!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Hide.

[♪]

Oh, come on. Please.

- Please.

DIRECTOR ARMSTRONG: The
Governor's been on my ass

to... to buy you a steak and martini,

ever since your team solved
the Campano kidnapping.

- Not necessary, but always appreciated.
- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Amanda, would you ask me
about the damn rumor already?

Fine. What is it?

I'm retiring.

And I think you should
be my replacement.

[SILVERWARE CLATTERS]

Wow. I'm honored.

And I agree.

Statewide Director of the
GBI is, uh, a beast of a gig.

No time for field work

and more handshakes
with Georgia's elite.

[CHUCKLES] Handshakes won't be
a problem, sir.

- Salut.
- [GLASSES CLINK]

[♪]

Why are you still here? It's late.

- We were having fun.
- [BETTY WHIMPERS]

WILL: At least one of us was.

- WILL: [SIGHS] All right.
- [REFRIGERATOR DOOR OPENS]

- Where's the mozzarella that was in here?
- Oh.

Betty and I played a game
called "find the cheese"

where I hide a piece of cheese

somewhere in the house
and Betty finds it,

and if she doesn't find it, I eat it.

Oh. Guess I'm not
having my caprese pasta.

But I'll make a... I don't know...

- carrot and farro salad, I guess.
- Oh. Uh...

After we played find the cheese,

I got worried she'd get diarrhea,

so we played "find the carrot."

Okay. Thai takeout. You want to stay?

I'm pretty full from all
the cheese and carrots.

See you tomorrow.

[♪]

[DOOR OPENS]

- [SIGHS]
- [DOOR CLOSES]

Okay, then.

- FAITH: I'm not co-signing this.
- JEREMY: Why not?!

Oh, I don't know, because
wandering around Mexico

taking a semester off
to smoke pot is just...

I'm studying coral reefs.

Oh. Pah! Okay, yeah. Coral reefer.

You are supposed to be going to college.

Do you have any idea
how hard it is to save,

- as a single mother...
- [THUD]

- Did you hear that?
- I don't know.

[♪]

- What are you doing with that?
- I'm helping.

[♪]

- Don't move!
- No, no, no!

Don't sh**t don't sh**t, don't sh**t!

- Charles?! What the hell?!
- Dad?

Faith, I'm being followed.

I need your help.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry
for letting myself in.

I didn't want to risk waiting outside.

And you still keep your key
in the... the rafters, so...

So you think you're being followed?

Yeah. I first noticed
the car a couple days ago.

It was a silver Lexus.

But this morning, it
passed by me three times.

Are you sure they weren't
just looking for parking?

Faith, the same car was
outside my work when I got off,

and then it followed me home.

Charles, why would
somebody be following you?

I don't know!

Okay. Did you get a plate number?

No, it didn't have plates.

- That's pretty creepy.
- Shh.

And then someone tried
to reset the password

on my e-mail account, too.

Yeah, that happens to
me about once a month.

[SCOFFS] You think I'm crazy, don't you?

Are you taking your meds?

Yes. And I've been going to
my veterans group twice a week.

Maybe I am crazy. I don't know.

But tonight I saw the same car parked

a block away from my place!

Faith, you're the most
sane person I've ever met.

Please, if you take a
look and it's nothing,

we can go get an emergency prescription

of antipsychotics right now. Please.

And you're still working at the hotel?

Yes. The Cavinridge.
Five years this May.

Okay. We'll swing by your
place and check it out.

Okay.

- Not you.
- Nuh-unh.

Eat your pizza and go back
to your dorm. We got this.

[♪]

All right. I drove around
the block. No silver sedans.

Thanks for coming,
Will. This is Charles.

- He's Jeremy's father.
- Hey.

Great to meet you.

Um, let's check out
your place. Is it...?

Uh, no, uh, that's me.

I rent the room over the garage.

Oh, an ADU? How many square feet?

Okay, can we geek out about
home improvements later?

- I'm missing The Bachelorette for this.
- Wow.

FAITH: Bathroom's clear.

Anything out of place?

No, it looks okay.

You typically leave the
blinds closed all day?

No, I... I leave it open so
the plants can get light.

You seem like a tidy person.
There's dirt on the floor.

No, that's... that's not right.
I... I just vacuumed this morning.

Well, somebody was in here.

And they were standing right here.

FAITH: What do you see from there?

Just the house below.

Who lives there?

Sally and Kevin, my landlords.

Maybe whoever was here
wasn't here for you after all.

Let's go check on Sally and Kevin.

[♪]

- CHARLES: Oh, my God.
- FAITH: Charles!

WILL: Charles!

CHARLES: Oh, my God.

[♪]

- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- She had your card on her.

Yep, she's testifying for us
against a sex trafficker...

Matty Ellwood. What happened?

Picked her up trying
to make a heroin buy.

But she told me not
to call you because you

"ruin lives for sick thrills."

"Sick" thrills?

Hurtful, I know.

Can I release her in your custody?

Thanks, Wirth. Katie.

Do you know how many days it's been?

You left me to rot.

That is a nice safehouse.
All the good junk food.

Everything you could want...
except heroin, I guess.

Well, the heroin's important, actually.

That's why Matty gave it to me.

Yeah, you know what? I know
that it's important, actually.

I do. I get it. Are you
making it to meetings?

- Every day.
- Yeah?

Leaves me with the other
hours to sit around and think.

Hey. Think about this. Think about this.

What you're doing matters.
You are putting Matty in jail.

Your testimony, you and me,

we are taking a sex
trafficker off the streets.

Think about that.

There's this girl, Jade.

And before I knew how
bad my situation was,

I convinced Jade that she
should hang out with Matty, too.

And I can't stop thinking
about how she's still out there.

[SNIFFLES] And I don't know

- how I'm supposed to go on.
- I know.

I don't know how I'm
supposed to do... do this.

I know. I get it. It's hard.

She's really young.

How young?

She said she was .

KATIE: I... I need... I
need Jade to be safe.

That's the only way I can do this,

is if you promise me
that Jade will be safe.

I will go get her.

I promise. Okay?

[♪]

Charles, why would
somebody be after you?

There has to be a reason.

CHARLES: They were following me.

- Sally and Kevin are dead because of me.
- [SIREN WAILS]

Okay. Okay. Come here.

- You're okay.
- [RADIO CHATTER]

Big, big mess here.

The perp had been following Charles,

who was living in their garage.

Something caused the
perp to switch his focus

- to the two of them.
- Want me to tell you what I see,

or would you like to
do the thing you do?

Just the single sh*t
for the two of them?

And, uh... no signs of
sexual as*ault, right?

Nope.

- All right.
- [CLICK]

[♪]

They were packing their
bags to get out of town.

They knew they were in trouble.

- We're not getting her involved in this!
- [GLASS SHATTERS]

Hide.

[♪]

Come on.

- Perp came in.
- Please.

sh*t him right away.

- Then he tied her up.
- [WHIMPERING]

WILL: Judging by the state of the house,

he was looking for something.

He hurt her to try to get her to talk.

You think she gave up what
the perp was looking for?

- [SCREAMING]
- Nah.

If she had, he would've
finished her off with a g*nsh*t.

She bled out.

What was she protecting
that was worth dying for?

Maybe she knew she was
gonna die no matter what.

Still took a lot of guts to keep quiet.

That's strange.

Her hand's pretty clean
aside from the blood

on her fingertip.

[SALLY GROANS]

Maybe she was trying
to tell us something.

[♪]

WILL: Sally drew this
star with her own blood.

AMANDA: What do you think it means?

She wanted us to find
it. That's all I know.

So Charles just breezes
back into your life

and drops a dead body at your feet, huh?

Two, actually.

It's always something with this guy.

Amanda. It's been years.
Can you give it a rest?

However we got here, we
have a double homicide.

The intruder was after Charles'
landlord, Sally Wallace.

She's a software engineer
at the tech company Selantus.

Selantus? You're kidding.

Why does that sound so familiar?

They design and manage all
of our electronic systems.

Case files, suspect database.
They even run our payroll.

We should, uh, poke around
Selantus, ask some questions.

Maybe "star" was a project
Sally was working on.

Yeah, but tread carefully.

- They're important partners for us.
- Always.

- So, where's Charles staying?
- With me.

In Jeremy's old room.
Until I figure all this out.

- Well, that's convenient.
- What does that mean?

It means you just got
one kid out of the house.

Don't let him put another baby in you.

Amanda, why don't you
mind your business?!

Come on. We're leaving.

Ohh! What is wrong with her?!

I mean, where do you want to start?

I was years old. We both were.

And if I hadn't made that mistake,

then I wouldn't have had Jeremy.

Do you think Jeremy is a mistake?!

- I support all your choices.
- Thank you.

You wanna know who
doesn't support my choices?

- My mother. And "Auntie Mandy."
- Mandy?

That two-headed terrifying cop monster.

That's why I didn't tell them

until I was seven months pregnant.

Is there something I
should be saying right now,

or do you need me to just listen?

Where do they get off
criticizing Charles?

She and my mom were the ones
who told him to leave me alone,

and that is why he enlisted.

That's why he went to Afghanistan...

- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- ... and that is why he has PTSD.

Well, uh, seemed like a great guy to me.

Should we go solve this thing
so he can get on with his life?

Yes. Great idea. Thank you.

[♪]

This is Selantus?

They trying to keep people out or in?

[♪]

Special Agents Trent and
Mitchell with the GBI.

We have a warrant to search
the workspace of Sally Wallace.

Hi. Uh, Vince Arrigotti,
Head of Software.

Did I hear you say you're GBI?

That's right.

Is everything okay with Sally?

She didn't show up
for work this morning.

Sally was k*lled last
night in a home invasion.

What?

Sally was one of the best.

Terrific coder. Friendly face.

[SIGHS] Sorry. I'm... I'm just...

I'm just still trying
to process all this.

It's shocking. I know.

Well, she kept things orderly.

Yeah, our... our cleaning crew
comes through every weeknight.

They're very thorough.

She, uh, didn't carry any notebooks?

No binders or folders?

No. Our entire office went
paperless a few years ago.

That's a whole lot of pens
for someone with no paper.

Then we'll need a copy of her e-mail box

and any internal messaging
systems you may have.

Anything you need, we'll get it for you.

I'm Reese Fox, Selantus CEO.

Reese, this is Will
Trent and Faith Mitchell.

They're from the GBI.

If there are any questions
we can answer about Sally

or whatever you're looking
for, please fire away.

No, we're good for now. Thanks.

WILL: They were trying to
figure out what we knew.

I don't like this place at all.

Yeah, me neither. But
you got to hand it to 'em.

That software is so
much nicer than APD's.

It's like if a Swedish design firm

decided to make life easier for cops.

- Can I get two bananas?
- Yeah.

- You have matcha?
- Mnh-mnh.

Just the bananas.

That guy Vince knew our full
names. We never told him.

You think Amanda gave them the heads-up?

Without running it by us first?

It would've given them time
to clean up Sally's desk,

but what would they be hiding?

You do not need to babysit my diabetes.

I had breakfast this
morning and everything.

You want the free banana or not?

Huh. That's disappointing.

[♪]

- Hey, Will?
- WILL: What is it?

FAITH: Tech conference last weekend.

Selantus was a sponsor.

Will, it was held at
the Cavinridge Hotel.

That's where Charles works.

Yeah, uh, Charles' key card
was used during the conference.

I already talked to the GBI about this.

No, you didn't. We're the GBI.

Uh, yes, I did.

Someone called wanting to know
what staff key card was used

to open the room during the conference.

I gave them Charles' name.

- That wasn't the GBI.
- SECURITY MANAGER: Yes, it was.

And I remember because
I was saying, "FBI?"

And he said, "No. GBI."

Well, you were lied to.

Okay, Charles was out
of town last weekend,

so he couldn't have used his key card.

- Do you have video?
- Uh, yeah.

Someone's impersonating us now.

- Yeah, I'm flattered.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKS]

Here we are.

WILL: That's Sally.

She must have stolen Charles'
card while he was out of town.

Whose room is that?

Well, it was part of a block of rooms

for the conference booked by...

Selantus Security.

Well, whatever Sally took,
that's what they're looking for.

Mm-hmm.

microwave he left behind.

Man liked to reheat a
lot of soup, apparently.

So, did you, uh, ask
Charles about the star?

Yeah. He can't think
of anything it can mean.

But get this. You know how he
was out of town last weekend?

It was because Kevin gave him tickets

to a music festival for his birthday.

Kevin arranged for Charles to be gone

so that he and Sally
could use the hotel key.

Do we think Kevin put her up to it?

The analyst pool is putting
together a Kevin profile,

but Charles says he's just a
guy who works at a coffee shop.

Sally had the career. Kevin just liked

- to hang out and read.
- Hmm.

- Good morning, Special Agents!
- [SHOES SQUEAK]

[CLEARS THROAT] Sorry.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

Uh, hi. I am Rocky Angelina.

I'm with digital forensics.
I've been assigned to your case.

I was able to extract

a digital backup of
your victim's cellphone.

Let me show you. Okay.

So, here, you have texts, contacts,

- Can you search the word "star"?
- You bet.

- [BEEP]
- Okay. Over , hits.

How about the, um, star symbol thing?

I think he means the emoji.

- WILL: Yeah.
- Right.

Ooh. Good instinct. Look at this.

One of Sally's contacts

is just the star emoji
and a phone number.

- Let's call it.
- [KEYPAD DIALING]

- [LINE RINGING]
- [CELLPHONE RINGING]

Hello? This is Special Agent
Will Trent with the GBI.

- Who's this?
- [WOMAN GASPS]

- [CLICK]
- Whoa!

Who was that?

Who indeed, Rocky?

You're not in Vice anymore, Ang.

Why don't you just let them handle it?

Vice is six weeks backlogged,
and this is time-sensitive.

We could lose this
case against this dude

that is trafficking both of these girls.

"Matty"? That's a red flag right there.

Even I knew when to give up "Mikey."

You could still pull off "Mikey."

I don't know if you
mean that in a good way.

Listen. I got a tip. I know
where she's being pimped out of.

Come on. Let's just
go do this ourselves.

You got a warrant? What, is
she on a wire or something?

Nope.

So... what? We just come up with
an excuse to knock on the door?

- Yup.
- And whatever happens happens?

- Yup.
- Okay. I'm in.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Check this out. I
taught Betty a new trick.

It's called The Moment.

Hey, Betty, are you the moment?

Yes! She is the moment!

Wow, Betty. Stunning as always.

- Nico, did you take $ from my wallet?
- What? No.

Two days ago, I had $ in my wallet.

Three s, one , and four singles,

all facing the same direction.

It's compulsive, I know.
But you can't steal from me.

I know where everything
in this house is.

Now, I'm gonna ask you again.

Did you take $ out of my wallet?

[SCOFFS] Whatever. You can afford it.

Nico, if you need money, just ask.

What's going on?

I don't need any favors.

I didn't ask for this job.

Let's just make this easy.

- I quit.

[SIGHS] Yeah. Rough.

Charles?

Are you okay?

Someone was here.

What makes you say that?

It's off. The house. It... It...

I can't explain it. It
just smells different.

Did you notice anything?

It smells normal to me.

All right. All right.

Let's clear the house,
and if we need to,

I will have APD come
and send a patrol car

- to watch the front door. Okay?
- Mm-hmm.

Hey!

Why are you following me?!

Jess Noonan. I'm a reporter
for the Atlanta Star Standard.

- You're star.
- Can we go somewhere to talk?

[GEORGE BENSON'S "GIVE
ME THE NIGHT" PLAYS]

[♪]

You have to promise me that
you tell no one about this.

Not your therapist, not your mom,

and, for sure, no case
notes... not until this is over.

Unless you want another
dead body to clean up.

Okay. Talk to us about Sally.

She was a whistleblower?

Sally and I went to college together.

I hadn't seen her in a while,

but she came to me a
few weeks ago with a tip.

- [HORNS HONKING]
- There is a back door in the software

that Selantus designed for the GBI.

Record searches, logged evidence,

house calls, case notes.

They're spying on you.

That would explain why they knew
we were coming to their office.

Who's using this?

Look up the investors for Selantus.

It's every inner-circle
old boy in Atlanta.

So you're saying that
people are paying to find out

what the GBI knows and when?

It's incredibly valuable information.

Does anyone know about you?

I haven't told anyone at the paper.

Reese Fox, CEO of Selantus?

She donates to my editor's
cancer charity. They brunch.

So, what were you gonna do
with Sally's information?

I told her she had to get me
the actual code on a hard drive,

something that no one could
deny, then I would publish.

The next time that I heard from her

was when she mailed
me this key with a note

that said she'd call me
to tell me what it opens.

But someone got to her first.

We knew Selantus would
want the hard drive back.

But I never thought that
they would m*rder her for it.

If what you're saying is true

and Selantus is selling
GBI intelligence,

then they would need to
protect their clients.

And the only way we can
prove that you're right

is with that hard
drive, but we don't know

where Sally hid it or
what that key goes to.

- You have to find out.
- Here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna take you to the
GBI, where we can keep you safe.

You think that the GBI is safe?

Belly of the beast.

I can take care of myself.

Don't use your computer or your phone,

anything with Selantus
software installed.

If you want to stay alive...

trust no one.

Why'd you just put my

- This is a clean room.
- Should I go get my tinfoil hat?

Selantus is wiretapping the GBI

with the software they made for us.

D... Do you have proof?

We have the dead body of
the reporter who was working

with Sally, the whistleblower,
who is also dead.

We also have a threatening note

that someone left in
my house last night.

Selantus knew we were
coming to their office.

They've been one step ahead.

Someone's even impersonating
the GBI on the phone.

- Guys...
- Rocky, come in. Close the door.

Sorry to be rude. I... I've
been calling over and over.

- This is a clean room.
- Cool.

I want to let you know
someone is doing maintenance

on the computer servers,

- ROCKY: and it's fishy.
- Fishy how?

Well, I talked to everyone
who's on duty with IT,

and no one knows who's
doing it. That's weird.

Selantus is scrubbing the code.

They're covering their
tracks. Thanks, Rocky.

Amanda, you got to shut it down.

Okay, listen. Let me talk
to Director Armstrong.

I've got to give him a heads-up.

No. Absolutely not. He
might be a part of this.

- Excuse me?
- You can't trust him, okay?

The guys on that level, they're
all playing the same game.

What if I'm on that level someday, Will?

I... Is this what you're
gonna think of me?

Is that what this is about?
Protecting your final promotion?

Whoa, guys! Same team. We
got to figure out a call here.

Hi. Um, ma'am...

Director Armstrong is in your office.

I'm gonna go talk to my boss.

Caroline, will you please get
my phone out of the microwave?

CAROLINE: Uh, Special Agent
Mitchell, Charles is on his way up.

And, um, Special Agent
Trent, I had someone pick up

a fresh suit for you, as you requested.

Thank you, Caroline.

You had Caroline send
someone to your house?

You have a really unhealthy
attachment to your suits.

- FAITH: You know that?
- Yes. I do.

FAITH: Hm.

I pulled the case file.

Your people think last night's sh**ting

is linked to the Selantus home invasion?

My people think Selantus
is doing the sh**ting.

DIRECTOR ARMSTRONG:
Amanda, that's insane.

There has to be something
else going on here.

- Who's telling you this?
- I've got Trent on it.

And you support what he's saying?

Sir, do you remember how I
investigated Lorne Renfield

for fraud a few years ago?

He's on the Board of Selantus.

Do you have a question for me?

His defense against my investigation

was the most impressive I'd ever seen.

It was as though he knew my playbook

the minute I put it out on the server.

Let it go. You didn't have a case.

Maybe he got a little greedy,

cut a corner on his quarterly filings,

but he didn't break any laws.

And now he knows that
you're watching him.

Well, I'd say we're watching each other.

It's checks and balances.

The system of law enforcement

works exactly how it was designed to.

- Of course. You're right.
- Good.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- So?
- This is Sally's P.O. box key.

I checked it a few times for
her when she went on vacation.

That's where she hid the hard
drive. We need to get to it.

Oh, I can send you the box number.

If they're wiping the
computers, that hard drive

is the only remaining evidence
that a back door ever existed.

- [CELLPHONE WHOOSHES]
- What are you doing?!

I just e-mailed you the box number.

Why did he have a cellphone?
This is a clean room.

What's a clean room?

You think Selantus is
reading our e-mails?

Jess specifically said
not to use our cellphones.

We should assume they
can see everything.

We need to get to that
mailbox before they do.

WOMAN: Hey! What's going on?
My computer stopped working!

I believe you. Now go solve this
thing before we lose our jobs.

- MAN: Try rebooting your system.
- [AGENTS CHATTERING]

[SIGHS] So, Katie says the way
this works

is that Matty says he's
gonna introduce the girl

to his "producer" friend,

and then he leaves them
alone, and some amazing role

rests on what she's
willing to do with him.

- ORMEWOOD: Ah, that seems legit.
- [ANGIE SIGHS]

You sure you wanna do this?

The girl doesn't talk, this
guy's gonna have us by the ass.

I will get her to talk. I will.

- MATTY: Can I help you?
- Yeah, APD.

We were passing by and heard a scream.

What? No. Wasn't from in here.

Try next door. They do waxing.

[CHUCKLES] You know what?

We're gonna need to take a look around.

We'll be out of your
hair in two minutes.

No! Get a warrant!

ORMEWOOD: Nah, we have probable cause.

This is a Fourth Amendment
violation. There was no scream.

You sure? You have a
security camera you can check?

Dang it. Looks like
this is the only one.

What do you use this puppy for, huh?

- Where's Jade?
- Hey, that's a private office!

ORMEWOOD: Ah, ah, ah, ah.

ANGIE: Hey! Yo! Get off of
her. Get the hell off of her!

ORMEWOOD: Let's go.

This is a casting session.
We're talking about a role.

Jade. Your name is Jade, right?

I'm Angie Polaski. I'm
APD. I want to help you.

Matty said this is my big break.

[SIGHS] All right. Arms up, please.

[♪]

Courtesy of Matty, right?

Listen. I don't want
to take you in for this.

I don't want to take you in at all.

I want you to leave, willingly.

Everyone is gonna be so pissed at me.

Matty's going to jail.

Your friend Katie's
gonna make sure of it.

She just wanted you to be safe first.

Guess she's jealous.

I will sue the department!
Who's your captain?

Get your hand off that
phone, sit down, and shut up!

Listen to me.

Matty is lying. He's not an agent.

He's not legit.

He sold Katie.

He sold her to a violent sex offender,

and he's gonna do the
same thing to you next.

Did he give you a tattoo?

He gives them to all his girls.

Let me see.

I've seen a lot of these.

Not on actors or models.

The last one I saw was
on an O.D. at the morgue.

Please. Please. Just tell me.

Is Matty forcing you to
have sex with these men?

I'm an actress.

JADE: I'm gonna be famous.

Not like this.

ANGIE: Not like this.

Just tell me, Jade.

Is he forcing you? Yes or no?

- Yeah? Okay.
- [JADE SOBBING]

- Okay. Thank you.
- [SOBBING]

Let's get you out of here. Come on.

[♪]

[JADE SOBBING]

WILL: Silver Lexus.

MAN: Just help me. Help me help you.

I'm just trying to get into this box.

It's Vince.

- Freeze! GBI!
- WOMAN: Oh, my God!

- WOMAN: He's got a g*n!
- Get down!

Find the box. Can you open this door?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Got it.

- Everybody get down!
- He has the hard drive.

[♪]

Move! Move!

[♪]

WILL: Vince, you don't have to do this.

Give us the hard drive,
and we can end this.

- That didn't work.
- Yeah, no.

[AGENTS CHATTERING]

Your computers will be operational again

once we know the situation is secure.

Amanda, you cannot
unilaterally shut down the GBI.

- Sir...
- Frankly, I'm shocked

that you'd jeopardize your future.

What does my future
have to do with this?

You're not taking this
personally, are you?

Just fix it.

[♪]

- Come here! Come here! Come here!
- No!

Open it. Open the door! Open the door!

- [VINCE SHOUTS]
- [WOMAN SOBBING]

Stay down! Stay down!

Vince, we know you were
spying on the GBI, all right?

There's no hiding it.

You don't know anything.

What I do know is whatever
Selantus promised you

is not worth dying for.

[GRUNTS]

[♪]

You're under arrest.

FAITH: We were able to
tie Vince Arrigotti's g*n

to each of the crime scenes.

He k*lled three people.

And now he's in a jail
cell refusing to talk,

hiding behind the best
lawyers in Georgia.

So who told Vince to
tamper with the GBI code?

With due respect, Vince
was stealing secrets, yes,

but they were our secrets.

We looked into it, and we
found that Vince was stealing

the code that made our
GBI operating system

so fast and easy to use.

We think he was selling it
to one of our competitors.

Are you kidding me?

You think he k*lled three people

over the secret of your pretty software?

He was accessing GBI case data

and selling it to the highest bidder.

Vince had a background
in Army Intelligence.

Sometimes, that experience
can desensitize people.

- You are full of...
- Faith.

Reese, we'll need to complete
our own forensic analysis

of the GBI system to
confirm your findings.

- Of course, Director Armstrong.
- You won't find anything.

That's what the server
maintenance was about, right?

They cleaned up all their tracks.

The only proof we had of a back door

evaporated when Vince
destroyed that hard drive.

That's offensive speculation,
Special Agent Trent.

- So sh**t me.
- I think we're done here.

This has been a very unfortunate chapter

for your company, Reese.

There will have to be consequences.

We'll be tightening hiring
practices, background checks...

I think what the director
means is that the GBI

is severing its
relationship with Selantus,

effective immediately.

Is that what you meant,
Director Armstrong?

If Wagner's assessment is that
the trust has been broken...

It is.

Then, yes, we will have to move on.
