(trolley bell rings)

Thank you for the tunes, baby.

(saxophone continues playing)

(music playing faintly on radio)
Hey.

♪ I've got an angel

Emily?

♪ Somewhere, somehow...

Hey, Emily?

(grunting)

Emily!

Emily?

(phone beeps)

(panting)

Pride, it's me.

Something terrible's happened.

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ Bang, bang, bang, bang

♪ Boom, boom, boom, boom

♪ How, how, how, how

♪ Hey, hey

♪ You gotta come on.

SERGEANT GORDON: All I'm saying
is kid should've called

first, Pride, then you.

I know he's a sailor,
but still.

It's a m*rder scene.

Could look like
he's looking for cover.

Not just a sailor, G, he's
Loretta Wade's foster son.

- He's family.
- Still don't look good.

But captain says not
to push it 'cause...

it's you.

as*ault's NCIS.

m*rder's NOPD.
Okay.

Look, I-I can't get ahold
of Emily anywhere.

Uh, she's not answering
my text messages or my calls.

Danny, come on, come on.

You need to get that
cut of yours tended to.

She called me at : ,
right before she got off work.

She said she was coming straight
home, but she wasn't here.

You got here what,
about midnight?

Yeah, just before
then, which means

Emily should've been
here by then.

But then when I saw what
happened to her roommate...

Why can't we find her?

Okay, what if something
happened to Emily, too?

No, no, no. Don't jump
to conclusions, son.

We got a BOLO out on Emily,

I sent her picture
to Sebastian.

Danny.

Danny, what happened?

Are you all right?
God, you're hurt.

Think this needs to be
stitched up right away.

Just forget it, I'm fine, Mom.

You can take him
if you want.

He's been swabbed
and whatnot.

Let's keep the captain
in the loop.

Call me, I'll call you.

- Thanks, G.
- Okay.

When did you get back
from deployment?

Yesterday.

Yesterday?

Why didn't you call?

What am I, ?

Loretta,

why don't you get him
to the hospital?

Okay? Get him looked at.

I'm gonna be here
for a while.

Wha-What about Emily?

Who's Emily?

I know she's
in trouble, okay?

I-I can't, I can't
tell you how,

I just, I just know.

What do you mean?
How do you know?

Look, I knew she was scared
about something,

or someone, but every time
she came close

to telling me,
s-she wouldn't.

It's like she couldn't.

I need you
to find her,

Dwayne, I need you to make sure
that she's okay, please.

I'll do everything I can,
Danny, I promise.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right.

Go with your mama,

get fixed up,
let me get to work.

(softly):
Okay.

LASALLE:
Front door was kicked open,

assailant caught our victim,
Lauren Danskin,

by surprise coming out
of the kitchen.

Apparently, she's roommates
with Danny's girlfriend,

Emily Birch.

I got Sebastian
doing background checks,

and looking into
area surveillance.

GREGORIO:
Fully clothed,

no sign of sexual as*ault.

Looks like she put up
a pretty good fight, though.

PRIDE: A lot of blood.
Any idea on cause of death?

Yeah, pretty sure
it's a Kn*fe

to the back of her neck.

Look, straight up
to the brainstem.

I mean, that's not luck.
That's taught.

k*ller knew what he was doing.

Yeah, there's
t*rture marks, too.

Didn't k*ll her right away. Why?

SONJA:
Doesn't look like anything

was taken from either
of the bedrooms.

Jewelry, laptops, TVs, money--

this definitely wasn't
a home invasion.

What do you think, King?

I'm thinking Danny's lucky
to be alive.

How is he?

He's worried
about his girlfriend.

Can't say I blame him.
Mm.

At least there's no sign
Emily was here

at the time of the att*ck,
or that she was taken.

Doesn't mean that the k*ller
didn't come for Emily, though.

Victim was tortured

for some reason,

maybe for answers--

answers Danny's
counting on us to find out.

And we know how much
Danny means to you, King.

We'll find her.

We better.

Have you heard anything
from Dwayne yet?

Let's just
focus on you now.

All done.
Oh.

Thank you, Doctor.

Why didn't you tell me
you were here from shore leave?

I'm sorry, Mom. I meant to.

Just didn't have any time;
I wanted to see Emily.

Okay. All right,
I understand that.

But you also understand
I'm your mother,

and I'm gonna give you
crap for not calling.

I know. I'm sorry.

Just worried.

It's okay. Well, when
did you meet Emily?

Um, February, I think,
at Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras?

Well, all right, then.

How well do you know her?

Why are you asking this?

I'm asking because
I'm trying to find out

how much you know about her

so we can help find her.
The more, the better.

Who her friends are.

Does she have family here?
Someone she would go to

if she were scared?

She'd go to me.
Okay.

But when you're out to sea,
who would she go to?

What are her hobbies
or people she visits,

things she likes to do?

What do you know
about her, Danny?

I know I love her.

And I know I'll do anything
it takes to protect her.

What?

You sound like Dwayne.

(chuckles softly)

SEBASTIAN: Not a lot
of surveillance cameras

in Emily's neighborhood,

unfortunately,
and the ones that I did find

don't show much more than
silhouetted figures.

I'm sorry.
Sorry's not good enough.

We got a k*ller
on the loose,

possible target
in Emily Birch.

Patton's at his mom's.

Can you work his facial
recognition software?

Should I...?
No, I got it.

Okay. Well, expand
your search.

See if you can find a
match on Emily anywhere.

All right.

What more do we know
about her roommate?

Nothing that indicates
a motive for m*rder.

And NOPD's
drawing blanks, too.

Lauren Danskin,
Shreveport, UNO,

scholar athlete.
Never been in trouble.

Not even a parking ticket.

There's not much
on Danny's girlfriend, either.

Then we're missing something.

Emily's roommate

was obviously k*lled
for some reason.

Well, you didn't let me finish.

The fact that
there's not much on Emily

could be a reason.

LASALLE: Yeah,
Gregorio's right, King.

Both of us
have done a deep dive,

and so far all we got

is a driver's license
and a credit card,

both issued to Emily Birch
earlier this year.

Only job was working
at the Erin Rose Bar,

also just this year.

SONJA:
Yeah. What about before that?

GREGORIO:
Well, that's just it.

There's nothing. No address,

no car registration,

medical records,
social media. Nothing.

LASALLE:
Yeah, it's as if Emily

didn't even exist
before this year.

Then we got to
find out why.

Excuse me.

Special Agent Pride?

Can I help you?

I'm Dr. Christo.

From Telegraph Road?

I'm the one whose calls

you've been ducking
the last several days.

What's Telegraph Road?

Office of the Director of NCIS.

Sorry, Dr. Christo.

Been a little busy down here.

I'm sure you understand.
Absolutely,

which is why I thought
I'd stop by in person.

See if we could
finally connect.

Well, it's a long
way from Quantico

just to, uh, "stop by""

Do you have a minute,
Agent Pride?

Actually, now's not
the best time, either.

Sorry, maybe I was being too polite.

You don't really have a choice.

Follow me.

When we're done, I want to know

everything there is to know

about Emily Birch before Loretta
and Danny show up.

SONJA:
Copy that.

Dr. Christo?

Looks like HQ
sent over a shrink.

Behavior Science
Group Therapist,

I believe is the official title.

Yeah, but I thought
we were done with HQ.

I thought Pride got cleared.

Apparently not.

CHRISTO:
I apologize

if this is awkward
for you, Agent Pride.

Not awkward for me,
Dr. Christo. Unnecessary.

Well, it's not unnecessary as
far as the director's concerned.

Well, I've done everything
the director asked.

Signed a personal
improvement plan.

Kept HQ apprised on cases.

Filled out forms.
Right.

But you haven't dealt
with what got you in trouble

in the first place.

What drove you
to risk your career, your life,

to take down Mayor Hamilton.

And that's what I'm here
to help you figure out.

Well, there's nothing
to figure out. It happened.

It's over. Hamilton's in prison,

and that is that.

Now, if you don't mind,

I would seriously like
to get back to work.

How long do you think
you can keep running from this?

I mean, you're a smart man.

You've got an
outstanding record,

one of the best
I've ever seen.

You must know that you have
some kind of... problem.

There's got to be some reason

you take cases
too personally sometimes,

go off book, disobey orders.

All because you feel compelled
to get justice any way you can.

That's my job, Dr. Christo.

Part of it, maybe,
but not all of it.

There is something else
driving you, something deeper.

It's the only explanation,

and the problem is
it's only getting worse,

which means if you don't do
something about it and soon...

Oh, give me a break!

What do you know?

(scoffs)
What do you know about me?

What do you care?

I care because NCIS cares.

You are a valuable asset,

Agent Pride. NCIS needs you.
I'm flattered.

And they're not about
to watch you self-destruct

without doing
everything they can

to try to keep that
from happening.

I am not the bad guy,

Agent Pride.
I'm just here to help you.

I don't need help.

(knocking on door)

- Hey, I'm sorry to interrupt, but...
- Yeah.

Sebastian just found Emily.

PRIDE:
What'd you find?

Security camera from the bar
where Emily works, time stamp

is just after
: last night.

That's minutes
before Danny was att*cked.

That's Emily Birch.

I matched her to a photo
that Danny sent.

Hit play.

GREGORIO:
She was abducted, Pride.

Before she came home.

Well, that doesn't make sense.

Then what was the k*ller
doing at Emily's apartment

after she was taken?

Yeah, and why k*ll the roommate?

Did you find her yet?

Is Emily okay?

(whistling)

Do you have any leads?

I mean, do you have any idea
where Emily is?

I-I don't understand why
somebody would take her.

It would help if we knew
a little bit more about her.

I'm just saying, Danny.

If there's something that
you haven't told us...

I'm not withholding anything.

Why would I?

I would do anything for her.

Dwayne, what would you do

if it was somebody
that you loved?

What am I supposed to do?

You need to let
us do our jobs.

Okay. I know you're upset,

but if we're gonna
find Emily,

we need to all stay focused.
What do you mean, "if"?

Tea?
Seriously, Mom?

Agent Pride.

PRIDE: Dr. Christo,
please, this...

I just wanted to let you know
that I'm gonna go.

I don't want to get
in the way. I'll call you.

Just make sure you answer.

- Who was that?
- It doesn't matter.

- Look, Dwayne, there has to be some...
- All right, listen to me, Danny.

You trust me, right?

Of course I do.

Okay.

Then you know I'm gonna do
whatever it takes

to find Emily, okay?

To do that, I'm gonna
need your help.

You saw the man
who att*cked you.

Yes?
Yes.

Okay. Sebastian
and Christopher

are in Patton's office,

looking for the van
that took Emily.

I want you to go in there

and give them a description
of the assailant,

as detailed as you
can remember it, too.

Tell them they need to try and
find a match. You understand?

I understand.
Okay, good.

Go.

He looks up to you, you know.

He has from the moment
I adopted him.

You're like the father
he never really had.

And he's become more like you
than you know.

I'm not gonna let him down,
Loretta.

I'm not worried about
you letting him down.

I'm worried about him
keeping his head,

trying to do too much,
like his father.

I have to go to work.

Keep an eye on him.

Where are we?

We got a BOLO out on the van

and Chris and Sebastian
are checking traffic cams.

What about Emily?

Know anything more
about her yet?

No, nothing, and we've
been digging, too.

We cross-checked with
FBI, NCIC, NamUs...

Oh, we might have something.

NOPD got a possible
on our BOLO.

Black van in Central City.

We only got a partial plate
from Sebastian's video,

but it matches.
PRIDE: Okay.

Gregorio, you're with me.

Sonja, keep digging.

Tell Christopher and Sebastian
to keep an eye on Danny.

Will do.

PRIDE:
Let's go!

DANNY:
Anything yet?

What about Emily?

I mean, she-she should've
shown up somewhere, right?

Look, I know this is hard,
Danny, but it's a process,

one we've been
through many times.

All right?
We know what we're doing.

I know. I'm just scared.

Okay? I know the longer
it takes to find her...

It may feel like a long time,
but it hasn't been,

not from an
investigator's standpoint.

You think she's all right?

Honestly, we don't know.

But the good news is

since Emily was taken,
hey, that gives us hope.

Right, 'cause it means
that they-they obviously,

they want something
from her.

But what could anybody
possibly want from Emily?

You know what,
I'm-a call Dwayne.

Maybe he's found something.

Look, Danny, he-he would've
called by now if he had.

Look, you got to trust us.

Yeah, and you got
to trust Pride.

He's doing everything
that he can.

Yeah, I hope so.

Look, I know he's been
in trouble lately.

I know he's been
going off book.

I know he's been breaking
the rules. Okay? Mom told me.

- What's that got to do with...
- It's got everything to do with it,

especially if he's more
concerned about keeping his job

than he is about
finding Emily.

I'm-I'm sorry.

I'm just so frustrated.

I'm gonna get some air.

(phone beeps)

PRIDE: Watch the door.
I'll check the van.

It's clear.

Pride, pretty high-tech security

for a travel agency.

NCIS!

Get your hands up now.

Get them up now!

All right, all
right, easy.

We're not who you think we are.

And who do we think you are?

May I?

U.S. Marshals.

Wait, hold up. You guys are
the ones that took Emily?

Emily? Emily who?

We don't have time
for your games, all right?

Woman's been m*rder*d,
my sailor's been att*cked,

and that black van in the alley,

we know it was used
to take Emily Birch.

Now, I want to
know why now!

All I can tell you is

we got wind of an attempt,

so we had to move her fast. That's it.
GREGORIO: "Attempt"?

What do you mean "attempt"?
Why would she be in danger?

Emily's WITSEC.

Isn't she?

You're part of her
protection detail.

That's why you're
set up here,

so you can keep
an eye on her.

Oh, well,
that makes sense.

Emily Birch isn't her real name.

It's the name
WITSEC gave her, huh?

Which is why we couldn't
find any record

of her existing
before this year.

Her real identity was erased.

All right, congratulations.

You figured it out.
Now, do you mind?

No, we're not
going anywhere

until you tell us
who's after Emily

because whoever it
is is undoubtedly

responsible for attacking
our sailor.

MALE MARSHAL:
Trust me.

Your sailor doesn't matter
nearly as much as Emily.

He matters to me.

SAWYER: All right,
with all due respect,

our only job is
to keep Emily safe

until she testifies
against somebody

DOJ has been trying
to bring down for years.

Who?
We can't say.

(scoffs)
We can't say

because we've been compromised.

Somehow, the target keeps
figuring out where Emily is.

How? We don't know.

But all the more reason
to get Emily to court

so she can bring that bastard
down once and for all,

whatever it takes.

(phone ringing)

Danny, you okay?

(g*nshots)
They're sh**ting at us, Dwayne.

They're trying to k*ll Emily.
Emily? What do you mean?

What's happening?
Who's sh**ting at you?

(siren wailing)



(whispers):
Pride.

Cover me.

(crying)
It's Emily!

Emily, hey. NCIS.
I'm a federal agent.

You okay?

You're okay.
Listen to me.

Where's Danny?

(crying): He hid me
after they att*cked.

Then he ran off
to distract them.

I think they took him.

I think they took Danny!

Okay...

(crying): I shouldn't
have called Danny.

But I was scared and I
knew that he'd be worried

about what happened to me.

Not your fault, Emily.

But I need your help
to find him.

Keep going.

You called Danny.

He came to your safe house.

The marshals, they got really
mad, tried to get him to leave.

That's when those
men showed up, too.

Men who are after you?

I gave your agents the best
description I could, but...

they started sh**ting
the marshals,

so Danny told me he needed to
get them away from the house,

away from me.

I saw them get
sh*t, k*lled.

I was just copying
documents.

I was just an intern.

I don't even know what
I was looking at.

All right, all right,
an intern where?

Who were you working for?

Is that who you're
testifying against?

SAWYER:
Don't answer that.

I told you,
it's classified.

Classified?

Those men k*lled
two of your marshals.

They took
my best friend's son.

I can't get him back unless
I know who the hell I'm chasing.

I'm sorry, but my only job
is to get Emily to court

in two days. Period.

Danny risked his life
to save you.

You have to help me
save him.

SAWYER: Come on, we've
got another safe house.

Let's go. Leave the phone.

Wait. I'm not going anywhere

until I know Danny's safe.

Good.

And I'm not testifying, either!

PRIDE:
Okay, tell me

who took him.
Emily, listen to me.

Listen to me.
They're not gonna hurt Daniel.

They only took him to get to you.
Listen to me.

Once you testify...

You really think that they're
gonna just let him go

after everything
they've already done?

This goes all the way up

to the Office of the Attorney
General, Agent Pride.

I am under strict orders
and so are you.

And yes, that's a warning.

Let's go, kid.

What's going on, King?

We're gonna find Danny,
that's what.

Emily's burner.

Have Sebastian
tear it apart.

See if it's how
they found her.

If so, maybe he can reverse
track it back to them.

Do we even know
who they are yet?

No. The marshals won't say.

So we need to figure out
where he is fast.

SEBASTIAN:
I might have something.

Does the name
Donner International

mean anything to anyone?

Donner in Dallas?
One in the same.

SONJA:
I remember this guy from A*F.

Malcolm Donner.

We kept trying to nail him
on chemical weapons charges.

How come you didn't?

'Cause every time we got close,
witnesses would disappear.

SEBASTIAN: No doubt
thanks to this guy,

Mateo Hyder.

He's listed as a VP,

but he's got
a record a mile long.

Danny gave us a
few key details

that helped us find a match
on facial recognition.

So, that's Danny's attacker?
And no doubt,

the guy who took him, too.

Tell me about Donner.

I'm pulling it up now.

Malcolm Donner, made his fortune

manufacturing weapons
for the m*llitary,

but he decided
he could make even more money

trafficking the weapons
internationally.

LASALLE:
Then what?

Escalated
to chemical weapons?

SONJA: Not that A*F
was able to prove.

PRIDE: But DOJ obviously
thinks they can.

Thanks to whatever Emily saw
when she was working for Donner.

LASALLE:
Here it is.

"U.S. v. Malcolm Donner,
counts of trafficking,

including chemical weapons sales
to Syria."

Trial begins Thursday,
U.S. District Court in Dallas.

Two days.

Who is that, his son?

Yeah, that's Carsen Donner.

Apparently, they're inseparable.

GREGORIO:
Listen.

They're not gonna do
anything to Danny.

They need him to get Emily.

Marshals aren't gonna let them
get anywhere near Emily again.

Which means if we don't
get... Danny...

Check into traffic cameras

between here and Dallas.


Tap into security cameras around
Donner's work and house.

Get me everything you can
on him, okay?

Where are you going?

Tell Loretta what happened.

Loretta.

Hmm. All I can say is,

those people sure did a
number on these poor souls.

Emily is lucky she got
out of there alive.

How is she?

Scared.

They took her
to another safe house.

Well, still,
at least she's all right.

Danny will be relieved.

Danny was the one who saved her.

What do you mean,
Danny saved her?

Loretta.
W-What happened?

W-Where is he...?

Emily texted Danny.

He left without
telling anybody to go see her,

and that's when
they a-att*cked.

att*cked? What are
you talking about?

Is he all right, is he hurt?

They took him, Loretta.

And I promise you,
I swear to God...

No! No, no, no, no!

This can't be happening.

How could you let this happen?

How could you
let him do that?

I didn't, I thought...

You're supposed
to stop him, Dwayne.

See, I told you that he was
becoming too much like you.

I warned you that he might
do something stupid,

try to take on the world
all by himself.

Like you.

I promise, I won't let anything
happen to Danny...

Something's already happened,
damn it, and it's your fault!

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, Dwayne.

This is on you.

This is all on you.

And I don't care

how you do it,

you'd better get my son back.

You hear me?

(door closes)

Talk to me. What do we know?

What?

They sent us a message, King.

On Emily's burner.

To us.

And?

MAN:
If she testifies, he dies.

No. Don't listen
to them, Dwayne.

Don't give them Emily.

Please.

You able to trace it to Donner?

No.

SONJA: But Emily
won't testify

unless Danny's safe, right?

That's what she said.

What are we gonna do, Pride?

You're not gonna do anything.

King.

What are you thinking?

I'm getting Danny back.

Well, hold on,
we're going with you.

No!

LAWYER:
I'm telling you, Mr. Donner,

if she does testify,
we have no defense.

Do you understand me?
And prison's... (scoffs)

...not the only thing you'll
need to worry about, either.

(laughs)
The entire company's going down, too.

Will you...
CARSEN: Hey!

If Dad says, "Don't worry about
it," don't worry about it.

Thank you, son. See? He knows
what he's talking about.

(phone beeps)
What?

What's the matter?

It's my Maserati.

I've got an app that tells me

when the valets move it
more than feet.

It's unbelievable.

(chuckles softly)

What the hell?

You Carsen Donner?

Yeah.

Who the hell are you?

Where's Danny Malloy?

Where is he?

Where's Danny?

Where is he?

What did you do to him?

What the hell is...

(coughing, screaming)

I'm awake, I'm awake!

(panting, coughing)

(laughing):
Oh...

Oh, my dad's gonna
k*ll you for this.

Then I don't have anything
to lose, do I?

Last chance.

Where's Danny?

You really think that this
is gonna save that friend?

That bitch intern?

It better, or you're a dead man.

You're bluffing.

You're what,
some kind of cop, right?

You can thr*aten me
all you like,

but you can't hurt me.

They'd crucify you! Ow!

But I'd still be alive.

(shouts, screams)

I'll do anything to save
Danny, you understand me?

(crying)

Danny dies, you die.

(phone beeps)

Please, Dad...

(crying continues)

What are you doing?
What's going on?

Busted.

We can explain.

Well, you'd better,
because I'm not in the mood.

Listen, Doc, we know
you're upset. We get it.

But we're not just trying
to find Danny now.

Yeah, we're trying
to find Pride, too.

Why? What happened?

He left, last night, on his own.

Went looking for Danny;
we don't know how or where.

He didn't take his car.

So now, we're not only
trying to save Danny,

we're trying
to save Dwayne, too?

Must've been too hard on him.

GREGORIO:
Hey, no.

Your son went missing.
You had every right.

It's just, now...

How can I help?

Well, actually,

we might've already
found something.

We keep racking our brains
trying to figure out

how Donner keeps finding Emily.

Hoping maybe we could
backtrack it to Donner,

prove that he's behind it all.

And get to Danny
before Dwayne goes too far.

Frankly, yeah.

Your autopsy
says that this is a rash,

but I-I don't think that
that's biological.

Did you find anything on the shirt collar?

Yeah, maybe.
Come check it out.

We're thinking that
whatever's on their skin

got transferred
from their shirts.

I know the m*llitary's been
working on chemical trackers.

And Donner's
all about chemicals.

Yeah. Look at that. Some
kind of metallic isotope.

What do you use
metallic isotopes for?

All kinds of things.
Geochemical tracers, bar codes.

Tracking.

Yeah, it must've gotten
into his shirt

from some kind
of dry cleaning solvent.

GREGORIO: And Donner
can easily figure out

where the marshals get
their dry cleaning done.

Well, if so, then he's been
tracking Emily's marshals,

not Emily.

GREGORIO: Question is,
how do we prove it,

get Danny back before Pride

does something he'll regret?

SONJA:
It's too late.

Pride took Donner's son.
It's the only explanation.

Wait, what? That's crazy.

Well, think about it,
if you were Pride,

and you were gonna do everything
you can to save Danny,

you'd need leverage,
serious leverage.

And since there's no sign
of Pride in New Orleans,

it makes sense
he'd go to Dallas.

To kidnap Carsen Donner?
Come on.

Well, Malcolm Donner
called the Dallas police,

claimed his son
was taken. Car, too.

Now, that can't be
a coincidence.

It has to be Pride.

And the timing works out
right, too.

I mean, it takes eight hours
to drive to Dallas,

and based on what time
Pride left...

Holy crap.
So, what do we do?

Well, we got to find him, right?
Before it's too late?

SONJA: Yeah, well,
good luck with that.

I mean, we're still checking
rental car companies,

but if Pride doesn't want
to be found, he won't be.

Yeah, he's doing
everything he can

to keep us in the
clear, protect us.

Okay, but we still
have to stop him.

Open to suggestions.

All right, Sebastian?

Keep trying to backtrack
that dry cleaning deal.

Gregorio, call Marshal Sawyer,

tell them to get rid
of all their shirts

in case they're being tracked.

Percy, you and I'll keep
looking for Pride.

All right, come on,
let's learn things, fast.

Everybody's working on it,
Mr. Donner,

but so far...

nothing.
And the blood

in the trunk?

It's Carsen's, sir.

(glass shatters)
hours,

and you still
can't find my son?!

Or who the hell
kidnapped him?

It's got to be
some kind of a play.

It's got to be about the trial.

Yeah, well, who the hell
is behind this, then?

Huh? Where's their
list of demands?

What do they want?!

(doorbell rings)

Help you?

I want to speak
to Malcolm Donner.

And you are?

The man who took his son.

You got balls, pal.

Let me ask you
one thing, though.

What makes you think
you're gonna leave here alive?

Your son's life depends on it.

Maybe your father doesn't
love you as much as I'd hoped.

(muffled shout)



(grunts)

PRIDE: When I say so,
you're gonna keep walking.

Do not stop.

(tape rips)

Just out of curiosity, what's
this kid mean to you anyway?

You wouldn't understand.

Now move.

Just so you know,

this trial's over,
you're all dead.

Kid, the intern,

you.

You have no idea.



(huffs)

(panting)

(whispers):
I'm sorry.

Forget about it.

You're safe now.
Yeah, it's all right.

That's all that matters.

I knew you'd find me, Dad.

Get in the car.

Come on, let's get you
out of here.

(whispers):
Easy. Okay.



Might have something.

Truck rental in Broadmoor.

Three pickup rentals around
the time that Pride disappeared,

only one hasn't been
returned yet-- cash rental.

Dark blue. Here's the VIN.

All right, I'll hack the GPS,
see if I can find it.

Yeah, go, hurry.
Good job, Percy.

Yeah.

Hold up. Pride's on his way
back to New Orleans.

How do you know?

I just got off the phone
with Marshal Sawyer.

Said Pride's bringing Danny
back to the safe house

so he can see Emily,
so she'll testify.

He got Danny back?

Must've traded Carsen
to do it.

Emily's flight to Dallas
leaves at : .

Sawyer said Pride might be able
to make it in time.

Okay, so, what?
So that's it, then?

We're all good?

Hey, what's the matter?

I don't know.

I mean, something
just doesn't add up.

No disrespect to Pride,

but Malcolm Donner
doesn't strike me as a guy

to make a trade like that,

lose everything
he's got.

Unless he actually thought
Pride was gonna hurt his son.

I mean, still,
the man's desperate,

proven to do anything he can
to keep Emily from testifying:

k*ll her roommate,
kidnap Danny...

Track and k*ll those marshals.

What if Donner
let Pride get Danny back?

Why would he let him?

So he could track him.

SONJA:
If so,

Pride has no idea
he's leading Donner right to...

Emily.

Why'd you stop?

Isn't the safe house
up there?

PRIDE:
Yeah.

Something wrong?

You've been pretty quiet
on the car ride over here.

Are you mad at me?

Huh?

No, no.
No, I'm not mad at you.

No, just...

All I could think about, all
I wanted was to get you back.

Yeah, well, thank God you did.

I didn't think about
anything else.

Blocked everything
and everyone out.

Think they've been
following us or something?

I mean, you've been checking
the whole time.

Did you tell Donner...

you were gonna
see Emily afterwards?

I think so.

Oh...

I screwed up.

(rapid g*nf*re)

Get out! Stay down, Danny!

(siren wailing)

(siren wailing)

PRIDE:
You all right?

- Huh? You okay?
- Mm-hmm. I'm all right.

Everything all right?

All clear.

Anyone hurt?
No, we're good.

We're... we're
all good, thanks.

You saved our butts.

Emily!

Danny!
It's okay.

It's okay now.

You did it, King.

You better hurry, son.
You got two minutes.

She's got a
plane to catch.

I don't know how
you did it,

but you did it.

SAWYER: Come on, let's go.
EMILY: I love you.

No, I didn't.

I almost got him k*lled.

(piano playing gentle melody)



I figured I'd find you here.

Yeah. Well, I was just...

trying to do everything I could
to avoid you is all.

I just... obviously
failed miserably.

You think I'm still mad at you,
do you?

Aren't you?

Well, I, I was.

I must've been the maddest
I've ever been, I admit.

I know, I saw.

Look, Loretta,

I'm sorry.

You saved Danny, Dwayne.

Honestly, I don't think
anyone else could have.

So don't be sorry.

But because of me,

Danny ran off hotheaded,

tried to do it
all by himself.

Just like you said.

You were right.
Yeah, but...

Loretta, you know
as well as I do

that just because
it all worked out,

doesn't mean
that everything's okay.

You're a good man, Dwayne,

and a good father,

and Danny's lucky
to have you in his life.

And you should never
minimize that.

Plus,

because of who you are,
that Donner,

he's in jail now.

And that's a good thing.

I know.

I know it is.
I just...

You don't...

I lost myself again...

Loretta, in-in my...

...doing whatever it is
I think I have to do

to make things right.

Like I did with Hamilton;
with the others.

I just...

I just don't know why.

So, what you gonna
do about it?

I'm actually glad
you called me

before I called
you, Agent Pride.

Frankly, after what just
happened, HQ's... concerned.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So am I.
