Rogue (2013) s02e07 Episode Script

Previously on Rogue You want me to go talk to Alec Laszlo - and ask him for police information? - That's correct.
You think you can fit a remote access Trojan to a two-gig thumb drive? - Are you gonna bug their computer? - Gotta get those boys their murder files.
It cost me a lot to get these files.
- Hmm.
Back up.
- Okay! We're up! - What did he just do? - He deleted the report about those garage CCTV cameras breaking his alibi.
His friends don't know he's lying.
He's always lying to his friends for other reasons, doing a little business on the side.
Hey! Why do you keep coming around here? - This is definitely not Massoud.
- Okay, who the fuck is this Massoud? Hey.
- [GUNSHOT.]
- You need to get up here.
Then what happened? He just starts asking for the rest of the money.
He starts asking for Massoud's money.
He said Massoud? - Okay, go.
- Yeah.
Why don't you move your families, put them in a hotel? Downtown, somewhere safe.
Please stop.
Come on, don't be such a kid.
Stop! * There's blood on our hands * * In this perfect madness * * You're living on borrowed time * * Oh, how * * You have lost your way * * You have lost your way * Smile, motherfucker.
Ray! What are you doing? Ray! Ray! Hey, come on, man, get moving.
Hey, what's going on? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
What's wrong? What's going on? What is that? - Ray, what is that? - Hey.
[CAR ENGINE STOPS.]
Are you sure this is a a good idea? I am not losing another operative.
Now, get up there and check on her.
Okay, um What do I say? You're a Quantico trained field agent.
You can't deliver a fucking pizza? [SNIFFS.]
[EXHALES.]
No, you really killed this.
This is dead.
Just leave it.
Whoa.
Is that necessary? You'll be glad I have it if our friends show up.
Okay.
What kind of friends are we talking about? The wrong guys, loan sharks.
[EXHALES.]
And how deep in the hole are you? Well, enough for them to want to make an example of us.
I never saw any of the money, so why they got a beef with me? Because they think you're with me.
- Did you tell 'em that? - No.
They have pictures of us together.
- They've been watching us.
- Great.
Let's go.
Let's go.
[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS.]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR.]
Calimani's pizza.
[EXHALES.]
[EXHALES.]
[BREATHES HEAVILY.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Over there.
Damn.
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
I think we got it wrong.
What do you mean? - I think we're safe.
- You think? Or you know, Ray? I'm at the office.
We need to talk.
All right.
I'll see you in a second.
You should go home.
That was Ray.
Some things have changed.
- Are we safe? - Yeah, I think so.
- I'll call you when I know something.
- No, you can't dick me around like this.
Is there a target on my back or not? I said I'll call you when I know something.
So you don't think he spilled the wine on purpose? I didn't see it.
Shit.
Look, he was nervous, and his bags were packed, he wanted to get out of there.
- It could've been an accident.
- Why was he leaving? Where was he going? Some cabin two hours north.
And he said that loan sharks were after him.
Do you think this is the Massoud they've been talking about? You know what, I think it's a bunch of crap.
Why would loan sharks be doling out flagged bills from the government? Whoever they're afraid of, it's not loan sharks.
Did he say anything else? Ray called and then two minutes later, he's telling me everything's fine.
Let's get a tail on him.
I think he's going back to Excelsior, we can listen in there.
- All the microphones are dead.
- What? Since when? When did that happen? - Since Spud died two nights ago.
- Shit.
I've never seen him like that.
I think we're close to something.
Really close.
He didn't make me, Leni.
Jesus Christ.
I know.
He's a student.
What if this is his cover? Maybe his family doesn't even know.
- That's what I thought.
- And now? Spud said the guy flew in from Pakistan two weeks ago.
That guy That guy's a grad student at USF.
Spud lied.
I've been turning it over and over in my mind, why would he lie? Why about that? He was covering something up.
- You think that Spud is capable of - Killing Cheat? He loved him.
Yeah, but he never forgave him for what happened over there.
So he poisons him? Come on, Ray.
He gave Kendra bad drugs to party with Cheat.
She doesn't partake.
He has to tie up loose ends.
What about this kid? He needed us to believe Massoud's men were coming after us.
There's no way.
There's no way.
You got a better version? Let's hear it.
Go ahead.
Because right now, I want to wring his fucking neck.
Hold on, hold on.
Listen to me.
We need to be sure, Ray.
Once we say it, there's no coming back.
And you know it.
He'll be wondering where we are.
Okay.
Call him.
[EXHALES.]
[CELLPHONE KEYPAD BEEPING.]
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
Hey, where are you guys? Did you get lost? Hey, listen, Alice is running a really bad fever.
Donna wants to give her the night.
We're gonna be up there tomorrow.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry, man, must be something she ate.
How are things up there? Yeah.
Yeah, they're great.
Uh Where's Ethan? He's with us.
Safer to travel together.
Right.
Well, I'm sorry that she's sick, man.
That's Poor kid.
What a day, huh? Yeah, that's for sure.
Stay safe, man.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah, you got it, man.
I should call the boy's mother.
See what kind of confirmation we can get.
We need to see her, look in her fucking eyes.
Well, it's late.
We'll do it first thing in the morning, 0800.
I'll get an address.
Hmm.
Right now, I'm going home.
- Give my girls a kiss.
- I'll see you then.
Fuck off.
Hey! [MEN ARGUING.]
Hey, cool down.
Remember where you are.
Fuck you, Grace.
Remember where you are.
Fuck you, Grace.
Fuck you, Grace.
[DOG BARKING.]
Mmm.
You're looking perky.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Heavy night? Black, two sugars.
So I got your text yesterday.
What was it this time, Mother? We out of soya milk? I don't know what you're talking about.
I didn't send a text.
Would you know if you even did? I think I prefer it when you're not around.
Oh, and there I was thinking we had nothing in common.
- Evie? - She just left for school.
It's not even 7:30.
Evie! What did I just say? Hey, it's Evie.
Leave a message.
Hey, sweetheart, it's me.
Did you send me a text yesterday? I, uh Will you just call me? Um I just want to know that you're all right.
Love you.
You're supposed to be looking out for her.
That's why you're here.
If you smother her, she'll just pull away.
You're guessing, obviously.
[CELLPHONE RINGS.]
I ran Ethan's photo through the Minute Rides database.
He has multiple accounts under different aliases.
But here's the thing.
The night of Cheat's murder, he took a car to Carson City.
Holy shit.
Which means he didn't kill Sarah.
And we've we been chasing the wrong guy the whole time? Just because he wasn't physically there does not mean he wasn't involved.
So why is he lying to his friends about going to Carson City? Gambling problem? Not according to the GPS coordinates from the company.
They have him visiting this house in the suburbs.
That's four hours from here.
I can be there by lunchtime.
No, you can't go and talk to them.
What if they know Ethan? It'll blow your cover.
- I don't think you should go on your own.
- Okay, let's go.
[CELLPHONE KEYPAD BEEPING.]
You have reached Ethan Kelly.
Please leave a message.
Where are you? You should have been here 15 minutes ago.
Call me.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
- Jason? - Yes.
Come in.
Come in.
Thank you.
How're you doing, Mrs.
Benowitz? This must be very hard for you.
Have you seen him? Have you talked to him? No, not for a few days.
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, if there's anything I can do How do you know Amir? You look a little old to be a student.
Oh, I'm not.
We're friends.
What are the police saying? Do they have any leads? They, they they won't even say he's missing.
They they're not taking it seriously.
I'm sure they know what they're doing.
I know my boy.
I know my boy.
And he calls me every day.
I'm wondering if there's some place he might have gone? Does he have you know, family somewhere else? No.
No.
He he he grew up here.
I mean, I have - a brother in Be'er Sheva.
- Be'er Sheva? Israel.
Oh.
Look Are you friends with Amir or friends with Amir? What? Oh.
No, friends.
Just - Just friends.
- Oh.
It is none of my business.
We'll find him, Mrs.
Benowitz.
We'll find him.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
You have reached Ethan Kelly.
Please leave a message.
Where the fuck are you, man? You need to call me back right now.
This is not looking good.
[CELLPHONE RINGS.]
- Hey, bud.
- Hey, how's Alice? Yeah, all good.
The temperature's back down.
She's fine, thanks.
Good, good.
So, you guys are on your way? Yeah, just putting the last few things together.
You need us to bring anything? No, just get here.
All right.
See you soon.
Hi.
They're coming.
They're gonna come.
They're all coming.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE.]
[KNOCKS ON DOOR.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
What do you want? I'm looking for Alec.
I stopped by his office.
Lloyd said I might be able to find him here.
Well, he ain't here.
Who are you? I'm just a friend.
And you are? - A wife.
- Hmm.
Alec doesn't have friends.
He owe you money? No, no, nothing like that, I just had a few questions about a woman that he knows.
Wanna be a little more specific? Yeah.
You know who that is? Yeah.
We know the bitch.
She's a fucking cop.
Oh, yeah? - You sure about that? - Of course I'm sure.
She killed Alec's brother and got away with it.
Fucked her way into his dad's business and left us in the shit.
Hmm.
Well, you don't seem to be doing so badly.
I got a husband who didn't come home last night, I'm about to get evicted, and it takes two of these to get me through breakfast.
So don't tell me how I'm doing.
Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
What do you want with her anyway? She playing you, too? Take care.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Hello.
- Mrs.
Hicks? Uh-huh.
I'm with the Carson City Police Department.
And I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time.
Is this about the tree? I'm sorry? Uh, no.
No, it is not about the tree.
We're looking into a person of interest that's been identified as having been in your neighborhood.
Prowler? Do you recognize this man? Ginny? Ginny.
Do we recognize this man? No, Mum.
We don't.
- No? - Oh.
Okay.
- Uh - Thank you for your time.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
You get anything? - Not sure.
- What do you mean? I recognize that guy.
How? Listen, anything you can tell us would really help.
Will we have to give our money back? - What's your name? - Ginny.
Ginny, if you tell us what you know, you'll be helping a lot of people.
And I promise you, you don't need to be afraid.
That guy, in the picture, I don't know who he is, but he's been leaving us cash.
Five grand, every month for the past year.
Sometimes 10.
We get packages at night and stuff.
Do you have any idea why? I figure it has something to do with my brother.
Your brother? - Think we could talk to him? - I doubt it.
He's dead.
Hey, I'm sorry.
You mind me asking how he died? Afghanistan.
Helicopter crash.
Was he shot down? No.
He was going on leave.
The chopper had some kind of mechanical failure.
Do you have a photo? Yeah, sure.
It's all I've got left.
I keep it with me everywhere I go.
Wayne Hicks? Special Ops, huh? Yeah, mom was pretty proud of that.
Until all they sent us back was his stuff in a bag.
Thank you, Ginny.
Thank you.
We hired her because she had no credibility.
You know, unfortunately, there was a reason for it.
Reinstate her.
- I'm sorry? - This is a clandestine operation, Elliot.
Last thing we need is to bring someone else in.
It's already done.
Well un-do it.
You're supposed to be controlling her, not firing her.
How can I control her when you've had me hamstrung from the beginning? Well, If you can't handle your authority I have no authority because they know I'm lying to them.
All agents work on operations where they're not privy to certain information.
That's why we have clearance levels, Elliot.
And how high does my clearance have to be before you tell me why this task force was set up in the first place? You keep asking questions like that and you'll never get there.
The bureau didn't instigate this operation, did they? I'm going to stop you right there.
God dammit, who am I really working for? CIA? Pentagon? Whose ass am I covering? Because I sure as shit know this isn't about us tracking down some money sent to Afghanistan for reconstruction.
As far as I've seen, Elliot, you don't know anything for sure.
So get in line, do your job, a Nd find out how those boys ended up with that money.
Oh, Elliot, go make nice with Kastner, I hear that's what you're good at.
- Hey, where have you been? - I'm sorry, Ray.
What? You don't answer the calls? You don't show at the meet.
Where were you? Look, I woke up this morning and couldn't move.
I guess there's a part of me that just doesn't want to know.
Yeah.
I guess I know how you feel.
Right.
Give me the news.
It wasn't a cover.
That kid we buried, Spud's assassin.
- He wasn't working for Massoud.
- And you're sure? Yeah, of course I'm sure.
His mother asked me if I was his boyfriend.
Does that sound like the Taliban to you? Spud faked a hit on himself to throw us off the scent.
- You know it and I know it.
- No, that still doesn't make sense.
Come on, it makes $2.
5 million of sense, and you know what? Why don't you quit pretending you haven't already thought about that - Spud was never about the money.
- In the end, everybody's about the money.
We were.
OK.
- We talk to him.
- No, fuck that.
We get Cheat's money back from him, I'm done with him.
We give him a chance to explain.
He deserves it.
We talk to him first, Ray.
You hear me? Understand? [SIGHS.]
Yeah, okay.
Good.
[BABY COOING.]
You really think Spud's capable of that? Spud? I think you never really know anyone.
[EXHALES.]
Connie know? [CHUCKLES.]
Connie doesn't know much past People magazine.
Come on.
Why? Why would he do it? Well, that's the $2.
5 million question.
- What? - Cheat's money is missing.
I told you, I always said, you and Ethan should have kept the money.
- I knew you couldn't trust the other two.
- Yeah.
[EXHALES.]
You have to get it back.
[CHUCKLES.]
Look, Ethan's waiting outside in the car, all right? I need you to stay here with the girls.
We'll be back tomorrow.
No, like hell! No, we're coming with you.
Absolutely not.
We don't know what Spud is capable of.
Ray, If you two show up without us, he'll make a run for it.
We're coming with you.
[CARS HONKING IN DISTANCE.]
Cpl.
Wayne Hicks.
Born June, Died September 5th, 2013, when his Chinook failed mechanically over Jalalabad, Afghanistan.
- Twenty-two dead.
- Yeah.
A word? Grace? You found my replacement yet? Yeah.
Yeah, got a couple of names.
Lucero, Bland, maybe O'Dell.
Lucero won't work outside of Washington.
Bland barely lives up to his name, and there is a reason O'Dell's always available after she fell off that motorcycle.
- At least I can trust them.
- You can trust me, you just didn't.
Don't tell me you weren't after my job from the start.
Oh, come on.
Everybody is after everyone's job.
If I keep you around are you going to get on board? If I stick around, are you going to have my back? What'd you find in Carson City? Dead end.
All right.
Keep going.
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
- [CAR HONKING.]
- Who's that? Huh? Who's that? Who's that? Huh? Who is this? Who's that? All right, buddy.
- Hey, thought you guys would never get here.
- Uncle Spud! Hey! [CHUCKLES.]
- How you feeling? - Huh? She's fine.
You know how resilient little kids are, they bounce right back.
- How was the drive up? - It was good.
It was fine.
- It was good? - Yeah.
- I was worried about you.
- You don't have to worry about us.
- Can you help me with the bags? - Yeah.
[BABY COOING.]
Whoa! [ALL LAUGHING.]
No, honey, that was April's christening.
Yeah, it was April's, you're right.
Actually, I think that's the first time we met.
You were so shy.
She was so shy.
I don't think you said five words all night.
- I was nervous.
Please.
- Nervous about what? He proposed two weeks later.
Yeah, and if I had known then what I know now, I never would have said yes.
Hey, what is that supposed to mean? It's because he was already married to you guys.
Hoo-rah.
Who was the girl that you brought to the wedding? That skinny thing.
What was her name? What was her name? [LAUGHS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
I'd like to make a toast.
Everyone in the world that I love is at this table.
And just to have us here together, safe You guys aren't the family that I was born into, but you're the family that I That I found along the way.
And And that's the best kind of family.
And I love you guys very much.
Who's been feeding this guy wine? Connie? [LAUGHS.]
No, no, no.
I want him to drink more.
Can't I just be happy for once? - Can I be happy for once? - To absent friends.
To absent friends.
Where's daddy? Where's daddy? Where's your daddy? Where's Daddy? There he is! [LAUGHING.]
What time did Evie say she was coming home? Oh, she's eating at a friend's tonight.
- What? Why didn't you tell me? - You didn't ask.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, none for me thanks.
I'm having a white day.
- I'm sorry? - It's the latest thing.
You just eat white food.
- It's supposed to be very purifying.
- [SIGHS.]
Jesus Christ.

- [SIGHS.]
[DOOR OPENS.]
Oh.
Hey, Billy.
Come on in.
- There's plenty of food.
- Hi, Billy.
Is Evie here? [DOOR CLOSES.]
No.
Is everything all right? She's not returning my calls.
- Did something happen? - No, nothing.
Then why isn't she returning your calls? - Stop interrogating the poor kid.
- It's okay.
- Billy.
- We we had a bit of a fight.
- Did Evie do that to your face? - Yeah.
But I deserved it.
I was being kind of a dick.
- Is she okay? - No, no, I'm the only one with bruises.
This happen yesterday, right? That was the text.
Where the hell were you? Don't blame me if you're feeling guilty because you're not around for your daughter.
I'm sorry, I just wanted to come over to apologize to Evie.
Could you pass on the message? [SIGHS.]
You wanna tell me what happened? [SIGHS.]
I fucked up.
I've been fucking up everything lately.
I just really miss him.

God.
He was such a good man.
- And he loved you so much, Billy.
- Why did you make him work for you? I No, you used him.
You used him because you knew you could.
- That he liked you.
- No.
It wasn't like that.
He'd still be alive if it wasn't for you.
He was the only one who believed me.
And I was right.
And by the end, he wanted to find out what happened to Sam.
I don't care about Sam, all right? I just want my dad back.
I know.
I want him back too.
I do.
I'm tired of feeling like this.
I feel bad all the time.

- I'm sorry.
I promise you - It's all right.
But go.
- Now.
- Okay.
[DOOR OPENS.]

It's been a big day for him.
I'm gonna put him to bed.
- Good night.

Where have you been? I've been trying to get a hold of you.
Oh, family shit.
- Yeah, well there's a lot of that going around.
- So, what's going on? Are we safe? - Yeah.
For now.
- What happened? It's complicated, but it's being resolved.
- Uh, what do you mean? - It means you don't need to worry about it.
Is that because you paid back the money or because I'm gonna get killed? I bet you wish you didn't steal that car now.
That's because you didn't drive it.
[CHUCKLES.]
[EXHALES.]
What are these, Cuban? I don't know, how do you tell the difference? I can't.
You know what, man? - You know what's weird? - What? I'm kind of excited, you know what I mean? Just going somewhere new.
- Starting over.
- Sure.
Where do you want to go, man? Somewhere out east, maybe DC? DC's where the action is, man.
- Yeah.
- San Francisco's small potatoes.
Hey, you know, Cheat Cheat would have loved Washington.
Know what I mean? Know what I mean? All those hookers.
[LAUGHS.]
Right? Oh God, I miss the man every day.
You know, I still can't get over my kids' pictures on that wall.
Yeah, man.
Me too.
You know, if nothing else, Nina, you certainly aren't boring.
Is that why you like me? Who said I liked you? What's there not to like? I think you're a little too dangerous for me.
Come on, you can live a little.
So when am I going to see you again? Soon.
Yeah, I think I'd like that.
Hey, Nina? What? Aah, nothing.
I'll call you.

Have you seen Spud? - No, he hasn't come up yet.
- Oh.
I'm just gonna be glad when all this stuff is behind us, man.
You know? You wanna go back to the house, get out of this fucking rain? _ Where'd you get that? They were all over the neighborhood.
[LAUGHS.]
Fuck.
The lengths that these people are gonna go through to cover their tracks, man, look at that.
If I didn't know the truth, I would think that that was an ordinary guy.
You said he arrived in the country two weeks ago, right? Yeah, I must have gotten the dates wrong.
Fuck.
I can't believe that.
I met his mother.
You met his mother? He was a Jewish art student, Spud.
That's a pretty good cover, right? I mean, I wouldn't have ever known.
- [EXHALES.]
- Why? [BREATHES HEAVILY.]
Why? Cheat Cheat.
He was out of control.
He was gonna get us caught.
That's the fucking chair, man.
That's the fucking chair.
So you killed him? You killed Cheat? Ray.
[SOBBING.]
Ray, we're fucking dads.
We have fucking families.
Cheat never understood that.
I didn't want to do it.
[SOBBING.]
I didn't want to do it, but I I can't let Kyle grow up without a father, man.
You can't let April and Alice grow up without a father.
What choice did I have? - You could've talked to him.
- No, man, we tried.
- It's not gonna make a fucking difference.
- You could've talked to us.
I know what you guys think of me.
I'm the joke, right? - I'm the runt, I'm the joke.
- Spud! No, man, I know.
Why couldn't I just take care of business? For once? I did it for you, man.
I did it for Ethan, I did it for us.
We're family, man.
I did it for us.
You did this for his fucking money, and you fucking know it.
No, man, I didn't That's not true.
I didn't take the money.
- I didn't care about the money.
I did it for us.
- And Kendra? That fucking guy that was with her? That poor fucking kid we put in a fucking grave? You did all that for us too, huh? I didn't want to do any of that.
It just got too fucked up.
It just got so fucked up.
I don't know how it got so fucked up.
You have to fucking believe me, man, you have to believe me.
- Fuck you.
- I didn't have a fucking choice, man.
- I didn't.
- Fuck you.
- I didn't have a choice! - Fuck you.
