Whiskey Cavalier

Previously on "Whiskey Cavalier"...

The three of us should grab a beer sometime.

Ray, I feel like we've been down this road before.

I'm gonna let Jai take this one.

You stole his girlfriend, broke his heart,

and he pretty much wants you dead.

Okay.

I'm just hoping to hang around long enough

that someday, Will will forgive me and let me back in.

I have five sisters.

In my house, it could get pretty vicious.

And my only defense mechanism was reading people.

But it didn't make my sisters want to hang out with me much.

Frankie Trowbridge...

her parents were killed in a terrorist attack.

So cataclysmic loss, probably blames herself,

definite fear of intimacy.

Let me make something clear.

I don't mix the personal with the professional.

So I'm never going to let myself care about any of you.

I don't care that the weather is crappy.

You know what I love about Los Angeles?

Is it how people walk on the beach

without annoying each other with small talk?

Ignoring your hint, moving on with my thought.

- Mm. - L.A. has everything.

I mean, you want the ocean? Boom. There it is.

Mountains? Whoa! Right there!

You want a little joy in your life?

They've got Disneyland.

Yeah, I'm not big on joy.

I'm well aware of that.

We're here to stop a former Homeland Security agent

from selling state secrets,

not go on amusement park rides.

Oh, so that's a... that's a "No" to the Ferris wheel?

Correct.

Alright, but when we're done, I'm gonna ask again

'cause it's right there!

Come on! It's so close!

Alright. There they are.

That's a camisole.

Alright, I'll stick with the buyer. You get the seller.

No. I'll get the buyer.

You're just saying that 'cause it's the opposite of what I said.

No comment.

Aw, we got to run? We got to do this?

Aah!

Will!

Will, are you okay?!

Wait here.

You're okay?!

Why would that upset you?

Great!

Uh, where's your guy?

You happy?

I don't...

Wait, did he get away because you came to check on me?

I don't want to talk about it.

- You were worried about me! - No, I wasn't.

You were. This is a big moment for us.

Thank you for caring so much.

Not another word, okay?

Hey, we should go on the Ferris wheel now.

Look, you have to stop beating yourself up about L.A.

Yes, the buyer got away,

but he didn't get what he wanted, so...

I know. What's wrong with me?

Why do I even care if you get shot?

I have, like, a thousand answers to that.

Look, Frankie, all you did was show some compassion.

Now, I'm sure it probably feels weird to you,

but trust me, it's a good thing.

You're so annoying.

Right?

That feels like a trick question.

She's just mad at me 'cause she showed some compassion.

Frankie? Compassion?

Unh! Yeah.

She got sharp knuckles.

Alright, I got to go get our new mission from Ray.

You want to step into Frankie's spot?

Yes! Finally!

Does this make me co-leader? Do I get a raise?

Can I wear my new sunglasses?

No.

Pretty dark in here. Can you even see?

I can see fine.

Perfect.

Oh, Ray, before we get started,

Frankie's kind of upset about losing her guy in Los Angeles.

Can you see if you can track down the buyer for me?

So, you want me to do you a favor,

like a friend would?

I'm just grateful that you're letting me back in your life.

Ray, I'm not I...

My partner would like to get right to the mission.

You know, you're not allowed to come to these anymore.

Why?

Why do you think?

Don't look at me... You can't even see me.

Go ahead, Ray.

Meet Eddie Benson.

Owner of several Fortune 500 companies.

We believe his most profitable venture

is running a massive drug cartel.

It manufactures and distributes illegal opioids.

His pills are responsible for a spike in teenage overdoses

all up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

What, and the DEA can't pin anything on Benson?

Nope. But we have intel that

several prominent businessmen acted as silent partners.

They gave money to the operation

without getting their hands dirty.

Hmm.

Including Daniel Lou.

He's the CEO of one of Benson's companies.

A philanthropist, he's married to a federal judge in Connecticut.

Daniel is our way in.

Why him?

His wife, Kelly Ashland.

She's the closest thing that Frankie has to family.

No way.

Frankie always refers to "family" as the "F" word.

That's true.

So, we use Kelly to get close to Daniel.

If he flips on Benson,

we can take him and his entire cartel down.

Alright, well, looks like

Frankie and I are heading to Connecticut.

- Aah! - Come on.

I'm sorry.

You got to take those things off, man.

Never.

Hey, Will?

38 minutes.

38 minutes.

See that? That's how long you went without speaking.

I told myself I was just gonna wait you out.

My head almost exploded.

Ah.

If I open up a little bit,

do you promise not to overreact?

Mmmmmmm...

nope.

Kelly was like a second mother to me.

She was good friends with my parents and...

when they died, she became my guardian.

I was 17. I wasn't the easiest kid to deal with.

Anyway, I haven't spoken to her since I joined the CIA.

Family's a liability.

That feels healthy.

Yeah. She gets it.

She taught me to be strong...

not to let my emotions knock me off my path.

She's the toughest person I know.

I love how closed-off she is.

That's not a thing people say.

Ooh!

What?

You guys haven't seen each other in a long time.

This is exciting. Come on. Aren't you excited?

Maybe you should wait in the car.

Open, open, open, open.

Surprise! Huh?

Kelly. It's good to see you.

Frankie. It's been a long time.

Okay, so, not exactly a hug, but still a moment.

Right. You guys want me to get a picture of this? Here you go.

Got it.

Is he always like this?

Pretty much.

He's cute, but it makes him less cute.

Tell me about it.

I mean, he tried to talk to me in the car the whole way here!

So annoying.

Oh, God. There's two of them.

I need to delete that.

So...

are you two a couple?

You tell me.

Hmm.

Well...

Oh.

You always liked green eyes.

Oh. Watch out.

But he's a bit of a human Care Bear.

In a good way.

Eh, eh...

I'll take it.

Kelly, you got a beautiful family here.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

That's my husband, Daniel, and our son, Tommy.

I can't wait for you to meet them.

Yeah.

So much has changed.

Oh, Frankie.

You made the wall. And you're in a prom dress.

That's not me.

And it's pink. Oh, it's so pink!
