Clever. Frightening, but clever.
Don't worry. Big Brother Patton only uses his power for good.
Picked the lock? Is that a new skill?
A man's got to grow. Food just arrived. I have been dreaming about this spread.
You know how pissed off I am right now?
Have a glass of Brèzè. Make you feel better. Same one from our fifth anniversary.
Alex Aufiero was murdered. But you know that since you fled the crime scene in his car.
I was gonna tell you right before your friend interrupted us.
My friend, the NCIS agent, who was coming to take me to investigate the homicide you're involved in!
Alex was a good kid. I didn't kill him.
Every cop in the city is after you right now. No more lies, Ethan.
I haven't lied. Call the FBI. They'll tell you I was in WITSEC, and that someone tried to attack me.
I called, and they confirmed it.
So, see? I'm in danger.
Okay, and you thought it was a good idea to escape my hotel room and come here and have dinner in the middle of a restaurant?
Nobody's gonna shoot me here. And I was hungry. Oh Besides, I left a note. It's not like I'm a flight risk.
You are the definition of a flight risk, and maybe a murderer.
Come on, baby, let me explain.
Do not baby me. You have 30 seconds. You better start talking.
I've never explained anything in 30 seconds.
25 seconds.
T, relax. We've got plenty of time to sort this out.
Don't tell me to relax.
Ethan McKinley. NCIS. Get your hands up.
Gregorio?
Oh, this just got awkward.
Where are you taking me?
Safe house.
Safe house in the Ninth? Kind of a contradiction, isn't it? Look at this place, they haven't even rebuilt.
Someone stole their money.
Look, T, I know I did wrong. I had a lot of time to think, all those lonely, winter nights in Iowa. I learned humility. And if I could fix it all
Maybe you can. What if you helped return the $80 million? Took the Aufieros down, got your life back.
My life means nothing to me. But our life, what we had, I'd do it in a nanosecond.
Ethan.
Remember that first trip we made? Anguilla. Just you, me and umbrella drinks. [sighs] No lies, no resentment, not a care in the world. You know I've always loved you, T. [sighs]
I'm gay.
Not the response I was expecting.
Yeah, well, there's a lot about me you don't know.
[sighs] Gay, huh? So, in a way, my betrayal kind of gave you a chance to find yourself.
Wow. How does my personal revelation become your victory?
I'm just saying. I've always been good for you.
You do know what gay means, right? Can we just focus on the case? Excuse me.
I-I wish I knew where the money was.
It's in an offshore account under Alex's name. That's why his brothers killed him. Probably why they tried to kill you.
Yeah, they thought I knew about the account. Yeah, I wish I did, but it's too late now. They got the money.
They haven't accessed it yet. They tried to get Alex's body. I'm figuring they needed a fingerprint or eye scan. Hey, listen. We got a chance, with your help, to stop them. Please.
[sighs] I want to help you, T. I-I want to spend the rest of my life making up for what I did, but I have no idea how to get that money.
[scoffs] Let me sweep the house. Stay here.
[McKinley tries to steal Gregorio's car but Gregorio remotely shuts it off]
Some people never change. You hotwire cars now, too?
Not very well, apparently.
That was all me. See, I have an app on my phone that remotely shuts my car off because I knew you'd try to escape.
Come on, what did you expect? $80 million is a lot of money, T. Can't blame me for trying.
Oh, I blame you for a lot of things. And I know you have some kind of devious plan to get that money.
Doesn't matter now, because I am going to jail. Sure your little team is waiting in the bushes ready to arrest me.
No, you're not going anywhere, Ethan. You're gonna help the Aufieros steal that money or I will throw your sorry ass in jail.
You're going to have to stop hiding sometime.
Ok, Dr. Phil. Relent.
