Did PD call you in to consult?

No, I was here on a stakeout.

Who were you surveilling?

Lula Arslan.

Why?

I'm a private investigator now.

A few weeks ago, an overseas
client contacted me.

They said Lula owes hundreds of
thousands in credit card debt,

racked up in Dubai.

They needed help tracking
her down to collect.

I'm sure you know by now,
she's pretty hard to pin down

outside of her matches.

Today is the closest I ever got to her.

When she happened to just get
kidnapped in broad daylight?

Did you tell anyone she was here?

No, Sheryll,
I had nothing to do with this.

Look, I just want to help.

OK, well, you need to tell us
everything you know.

We're looking at her
ex-boyfriend, Petrov Rubinsky.

He popped on my radar when
I first did research on Lula,

so I've been keeping an eye on him.

He flew out early this
morning for Indian Wells.

And who's your client?

Well, we never actually met in person.

We communicate through email
and the occasional phone call.

Well, if they're from overseas,

it could still be Rubinsky
or someone working for him.

Rubinsky lives and trains in Miami.

My client tends to
contact me at off hours,

so I figure they're
in another time zone.

Did you notice anything
different this morning

before the kidnapping?

No, I don't think so.

Lula went directly from her
hotel to the photo sh**t.

And, uh, she was always with her team.

We think someone may have
spiked her water bottle.

Her trainer says
she never leaves it unattended.

But did you notice any time
that she might have?

She used the bathroom outside the court

to change into her outfit for the sh**t.

There's a cam outside the ladies' room.

In the ' revolution, her grandfather

We know all about your grand plan.

Venezuela by boat, then on to Iran.

Too bad you're going to miss

No stale pretzels for you, pal.

Even if you got on that boat,

the Coast Guard
would be on you in minutes.

You're on your own.

Your government is not going

We scare them because we're young

a future that's better for our

She's a traitor.

What does she know about
our people and our values?

She hates her own country.

How am I supposed to love my country

So are you happy you stayed outside?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

There's a reason I'm retired.

Recapping the top story tonight.

Tennis player Lula Arslan
was rescued by the FBI


from a kidnapping attempt

by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

[TV MUTES]

You had a busy day.

How's your tennis player doing?

She's OK. She's going to be just fine.

Thank God she's a fighter.

Just like you.

And where do you think I got that from?

I'm no fighter...

not the way you wish I had been.
Isn't that right?

You fought with me plenty
about my choice

to become a cop and join the FBI.

Hey, don't make me
come in there, you two.

Listen, I didn't come here to argue.

I came here to say...

[SIGHS] That I understand
a little better now that

just because someone gives you
orders to do something,

it doesn't always mean it's right.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]

And I respect you've always
stood up for your values.

- Mm.
- And I just wish

that you would respect my values
and my choices too.

I didn't raise you to be a fool.

And only a fool would chase
the uniform or risk her life

every single day to serve a country,

a system that doesn't value her life,

her mother's life, her father's life,

or, God forbid, her children's lives.

See, that's the problem.

When you see me,
that's all you see, the uniform.

You don't see me.

You don't see your daughter,

the one you raised to stand up
for what I believe in.

You know what?
Maybe you did raise a fool.

I honestly thought
we could have a conversation

instead of arguing.

What is there to talk about?

Every week,
the headlines parade another name,

another tragedy,

in Ferguson, St. Paul, Memphis.

It never changes, and I'm tired.

And I'm trying to change that,
Dad, in my own way.

We both want the same thing,

the right to feel safe
in our communities,

the right to feel safe in our bodies.

And I'm trying to do my part,
and honestly, I have no idea

what it's going to take
to change things out there.

But I was hoping...

I was hoping we could start
by trying to change

things in here between us.
