Legends

Previously on Legends...

At our wedding, we exchanged vows. Do you remember?

Where's this coming from?

I want to be with you.

Prince Abboud of the House of Saud.

The prince's classified itinerary was leaked

from someone within the State Department.

It's Hani Jibril.

She's a famous activist for women's rights.

Sebastian Egan.

Tony Baldwin, we're here on assignment for Joust.

Thank you, Aaron,

for taking the risk.

I'll contact you with any changes

to the prince's schedule on this device.

I've got something special planned for the prince.

You said you would champion suffrage for all women.

This is a very rapidly developing story.

At this point, we know authorities have taken

controversial women's rights activist Hani Jibril

into custody in connection with the attack.

It's not known if she may have been working alone

or with others.

Among the details we have been able to confirm,

we're told Prince Abboud

had just completed a speech to executives.

...armed with a bomb, flew down and exploded,

killing the prince instantly.

The scene is a chaotic one,

as witnesses describe near-panic among participants.

They were running in several directions at once,

making it difficult to ascertain exactly what had happened,

and for authorities to get a handle on the situ...

Porter.

- Where's my exfil? - On the way.

You'd better be packed and ready when they get there.

- What about money? - Already been wired.

Don't go spending it all on rum and Cuban hookers.

No promises there, sir.

Good luck to you, son.

Thank you for your service.

Yes, sir.

It's done.

Thank you.

The director's briefing the president in 20 minutes.

What do you want me to say?

I know Saudi Arabia's a powder keg.

Every Middle East expert is on the news

predicting another Egypt or Syria and a global oil crisis.

And we just tapped out of two wars.

Look, I'm sorry.

We just can't rule out a wider terrorist operation.

I'd like to convey some kind of confidence in our suspect.

Look, I'm not gonna say it just 'cause they want to hear it.

I've had this for less than three hours.

We're still assessing Hani Jibril's involvement.

Look, I think we both know that this doesn't smell right.

You need to understand the situation here.

Our people were on the case when the prince was killed.

We had advance warning and didn't stop it.

Writing's on the wall.

They're looking at us.

A State Department employee was involved.

Check today's classified briefing.

No one's ever gonna hear about Aaron Rawley's part in this.

DCO is not gonna take the fall.

Believe me, I sure as hell can't afford

that kind of exposure.

You're the secret police in a country

that doesn't have a secret police.

Look, I don't like getting grilled

by some congressional hearing any more than you do.

But we're not gonna step aside, either.

We don't have much time.

I'll run cover,

but I want you to find out who did this and do it fast.

Off book?

No trace.

Keep going, keep going, keep going...

Okay, freeze it right there. Stop.

She's clearly not doing anything.

Then why did her cell phone have software to pilot a drone?

That's exactly my point.

How could she be flying a drone in that moment?

- Maybe her phone was hacked. - If it were, you'd be able to tell.

Drone could have been targeting a beacon.

And she accomplished all that

because she's such a technical genius?

Either way, someone else had to be involved.

Someone else?

It's clear that she's being set up here.

Where are we on Aaron Rawley?

He dropped his tail about 30 minutes

before the assassination.

And his cell went dark around the same time.

Dropped his tail? How?

On foot, in a subway, according to Alpha team.

That couldn't have been easy, Nelson.

We had four units in rotation.

He's either lucky, or he had training.

Rawley's been in State Department bureaucracy for seven years.

Nothing in his personnel file even hints at covert operative.

Dig into this guy's life, Maggie. Find him fast.

I'm already on it, sir.

We covered his apartment and his office... there's still

no sign of him. We're gonna start checking hotels and talking to his friends.

- Where's Crystal? - At JTTF.

Hani Jibril's still being questioned.

Ms. Jibril, we found explosive residue at your apartment,

that was the same type used to assassinate Prince Abboud.

That's not possible.

We can make a circumstantial case

it's where you armed the drone.

That evidence alone is enough to convict you.

You need to talk to us.

Start by explaining that cell phone you were carrying.

What about it? I-I don't understand.

How you piloted the drone.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't kill Prince Abboud.

I would have died, too, if it weren't for Sebastian Egan.

I only wanted to make a public protest.

And you did. He got the message loud and clear.

I can't believe this is happening.

Help yourself by telling us the truth.

I wish to have an attorney, please.

- That's not gonna happen. - It's my right.

You assassinated a Saudi prince on American soil.

You need to know that

you may be extradited to Saudi Arabia to stand trial.

Oh, God. I'm gonna be sick.

Walter, can you get her some water?

You didn't know about the phone?

Of course, I didn't know.

A man named Aaron Rawley gave it to me.

He said he wanted to help my cause against the kingdom.

This is because of him.

Please.

Please believe me.

I didn't do this.

I believe you.

You'll meet your attorney

at the courthouse before your arraignment.

I'm not guilty of this crime.

I'm inclined to believe that.

Then why won't you help me?

We're trying.

Should have known not to trust a journalist.

I was undercover.

You lied to me.

It wasn't like that, Hani.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe anything you say.

I won't let you burn for this.

I don't believe that most of all.

I'm pissed off, Nelson.

Good.

The Director and Secretary of State briefed the President.

Officially, he's calling this a matter of justice.

Unofficially,

he wants Hani Jibril permanently silenced.

Obviously, the Saudis are putting pressure on them.

Jibril was a known critic of the kingdom.

You know, they're making this political.

Look, as far as they're concerned, she did it.

I'm telling you, sir,

I looked her in the eye.

Then get the facts so we can prove.

I don't have to tell you

that the political tide is not in our favor here.

I think I got a lead on Aaron Rawley.

He's been dating this girl off and on for the last year.

She's on the East Coast, but somebody's been using

- her apartment here in L.A. - Sounds promising.

Martin and Rice are checking it out.

Rice?

In here.

Damn.

Awfully convenient.

No defensive wounds.

Bruising around the neck.

All consistent with suicide by hanging.

He's fully dressed, look.

With bare feet.

Meaning what?

Check in between his toes.

Looks like an injection site.

With the right drug, you can stop the heart.

No one's the wiser.

Staged as a suicide, case closed.

Most autopsies will miss it.

You mind if I ask you how you know that?

Just do.

You're what my wife calls a poor communicator.

"I only wanted to help Hani Jibril.

"I didn't know she would assassinate Prince Abboud.

"I let my country down.

"I can't live with myself,

knowing what I was responsible for."
