Will Trent

Previously on Will Trent…

I had this bad feeling you weren't really sick.

- FBI share any new intel with you? - Not yet.

You are The Commander.

Le Bon Nosh, 8:00 p.m.

Don't you look handsome?

Damn it, watch your step.

I've left you a little present.

Adelaide, what did you do?

But you had to go and ruin it by having your boss go looking for me.

I know exactly what it feels like to be the reason

your loved ones end up in harm's way.

Shame. Guilt. Anger.

Amanda. No.

Help!

Will, we got to get Amanda out of here.

Let the techs do their job.

- How was the body when you found it? - The body?

This is Deputy Director Amanda Wagner.

She was on her back.

Understood, Special Agent.

Just... Please.

This is as bad as it gets.

Oh, Wags.

We're gonna get the son of a bitch who did this.

Wait. Okay, wait, let me.

- Let me. - Okay.

The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

For thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Amen.

Mom.

Oh.

Caroline, I need your help.

Yes, sir.

I need you to access Amanda's calendar, computer, everything.

I wanna know what she was doing leading up to last night, okay?

Yeah, you got it.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, boy. Uh…

No! Don't you dare go in there! You have no damn shame, do you?

- That's not what I was doing. - You couldn't wait for this.

Amanda knew that you were after her job, and she hated you just as much as I do.

Wilbur Trent.

I came here to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

Now, Wagner and I had our differences,

but she had and will always have my utter respect.

Let me know if you need anything.

Captain Evelyn Mitchell has some information you'll find useful.

Amanda was secretly working with a contact at the FBI.

She was looking for Adelaide Trevens.

On her own? Why?

What? Why didn't she say anything?

She did, just not to you.

Amanda planned on looping you both in once she got something solid.

Well, she must have found it, and it got her killed.

Come in.

Hi. I printed, uh, all of the Deputy Director's emails

and personal files from the last two weeks.

Um, I had all the files digitized for Eduardo.

Oh.

Much appreciated, Caroline.

Honey, I'm gonna stick around here if you don't mind. I just…

I just can't be home.

Yeah, of course.

I'll, um… I'll be in Amanda's office.

Um…

Something else, Caroline?

Sorry, I was just wondering what I should do with Winona.

She's still in the Deputy Director's parking space.

- Her car's still here? - Mm-hmm.

Maybe Amanda was doing something that required a low profile.

Caroline, can you see if she checked out

an undercover vehicle in the last few days?

- Sure thing. - Thanks.

Mmm.

Hey, guys. So, got an eyewitness near the crime scene last night

who saw a large male... 40s, 50s...

park a silver sedan and dump something near the curb.

She said it could have been a body.

So, um, got a partial plate. Running it now.

What about the, uh, the people at the restaurant, employees, customers?

Anyone see Adelaide get into that car?

Uh, so far, no, but we haven't found everyone yet.

The bartender. Have you talked to the bartender?

That would be Josh Hassen. No, still looking for him.

He's one of hers.

Uh, server dropped the tray.

The bartender yelled at her, and then Adelaide was gone.

A distraction.

Let's get a BOLO out, and I want unis parked and camped in front of his address.

You got it. Hey.

Everyone, just take care today, okay?

There. Amanda's undercover car.

Two coffees.

She was here for a while.

It was matcha. She was off coffee.

A stakeout.

She was casing something.

Why the backup?

I don't know how many acolytes Adelaide has, and neither do you.

We might need help.

We got your pin.

What's it looking like?

Found two of Amanda's coffee cups.

She was definitely surveilling the area. We don't know…

- Come on, Amanda. - …where Adelaide's acolytes are.

Come on.

…I had you guys come out here. Nope.

- He's getting out. Let's go. - All right, fine.

This is where it happened.

Antonio was here.

Groceries still fresh. Ice still icy.

We must have just missed them.

GBI. Show yourself.

Hey, stop!

Where's Antonio Morales?

He'll be dead soon. Just like your boss.

- Trent! - Will, stop!

- That's enough, Trent. Calm down! - Hey, stay down.

- You got it? - Yeah, I got him.

I have to know what happened, Pete.

It was, um…

…a two-person attack,

judging from the bruising around her neck

and the placement of the five stab wounds to her chest.

Amanda…

Between both lungs collapsing and the hemothorax,

she didn't last long.

But there was a significant amount of epithelial cells beneath her nails,

along with foreign hair fibers on the cuffs of her coat.

She made sure you got enough DNA, didn't she?

More than you even know.

This fingertip.

She must have bitten it off during the struggle.

Belongs to a Stephen Lucas, 43. School teacher, if you can believe that.

It's not hard to believe anything these days.

Can you give us a… a minute, Pete?

Yeah.

She, um…

She was really great.

I, um… I'll-I'll-I'll be sure to… to grab that dress you like for the funeral.

The one you said that makes you look like Angela Bassett.

I still think you're reaching, honey.

You're so cold, Mandy.

You don't do cold well.

I don't know what the world looks like

without you in it.

I mean, I guess I'm gonna have to figure that out, right?

You took care of everyone all the time.

Now it's our turn to take care of you.

We're gonna get it done, girl.

This is our last dance.

Good job, Will.

Not only did you knock out two of this bartender's teeth,

you also made him bite off part of his tongue,

which is now being sewn back on, so he won't be able to talk any time soon.

Did you get it out of your system?

Amanda should still be here right now!

This is all your fault!

- …backup. - Okay. Okay, guys.

What's our next move?

- Fresh Food Town. - Come again?

It's the receipt we found in the groceries.

It's from Fresh Food Town.

Now, the address is water-damaged, but check it out. Employee discount.

One of Adelaide's acolytes must work at Fresh Food Town.

There's got to be around a dozen in the city.

- You coming, Mitchell? - No, I am not coming with you.

You look like a disgrace to me.

Fine, I'll go alone.

No, you won't.

Trent and I will canvass all the Fresh Food Towns.

Why don't you two check on that teacher with the missing finger?

I don't need a partner.

Yeah, you do.

Third-grade teacher living in a cozy bungalow,

that's who takes Amanda out.

None of this makes any damn sense.

No, it doesn't.

Wait, that car fits the description from the restaurant.

Is the partial plate a match?

Yep.

Oh, no.

Trent. Slow down.

Hey, Amanda meant something to all of us, so get your head out of your ass, okay?

And you might want to remember she changed Faith's diapers.

Geez.

I know you're hurting, okay?

But rage isn't the answer, believe me, I know.

You just… just remember who you are, okay?

This case is gonna break on details and that's what you're good at, man.

You're right.
