Blindspot

Previously on "Blindspot"...

The FBI's New York office has been compromised.

Miss Doe, Agent Zapata, Assistant Director Mayfair...

they all had a number of inconsistencies on their polygraphs.

I have missions for you, things that move us

closer to our objectives. Bring me that pen.

Why can't you see what's right in front of your eyes, Agent Weller?

Call the director, tell him I've caught his mole.

Jane! It's Fischer! He's the mole!

I was almost caught today!

What you tell me, I can't trust.

I have a time-sensitive tattoo I need you to bring to their attention.

No. I'm out.

- Allie? - Hello, Kurt.

- You're a marshal now? - Yeah!

Fischer's case against Jane wasn't all that crazy.

I've got some major reservations about Jane's alibi.

Me too.

The question now is,

what are we gonna do about it?

Oh, man.

That drink kinda turned into 10, huh?

Yeah.

Were you always this messy?

No, um, things got a little out of hand last night.

I think at one point,

you might have even used your safe word?

Really?

Well...

Have you seen my other sock anywhere?

- Ah. - Kurt.

Come on, don't overthink this.

You sent me a text at 11:30 that said, "You up?"

I'm not expecting a marriage proposal, okay?

Mayfair.

Hi, um... it's Jane.

- Everything all right? - Yeah.

Yeah, I'm... I'm just...

I'm not feeling very well, I think it might be, um...

You've been through a lot.

I think you should take the day off.

Maybe that's for the best.

All right.

- Feel better. - Bye.

This is the smallest shower I've ever seen.

Oh, please.

I'd love to give your shower a whirl, but I have a feeling

the Weller residence is off-limits.

Oh, Kurt will come around.

He's just got a lot on his plate right now with Taylor and...

Right, right.

Does she seem the same to you?

Nobody seems the same as when they're five.

Huh.

Do you ever talk to her much about what she remembers?

Okay, if we're gonna talk about another woman

- while we're naked... - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I'm dropping it.

Matthew Weitz, Assistant U.S. Attorney.

We spoke on the phone.

Whoever's listening to me right now, I know you're there. Call me.

You want to tell me why a federal prosecutor's bugging my apartment?

Is it better or worse when you thought I was CIA?

- No, no. You have no right... - Actually, I do.

We busted a tristate gambling ring,

apprehended a bookie named Randall Luskey.

- I want my money. - You know I'm good for it.

Here's the good news. I don't care.

I don't care about your gambling problem.

I don't even care that you sold confidential FBI documents to the CIA,

which is a felony, by the way.

What I am interested in is Tom Carter,

his obsession with your Jane Doe,

and what it all has to do with Assistant Director Mayfair.

I am not here to destroy your career.

No, you're interested in making yours.

Tasha, something very, very wrong is going on

in the highest recesses of your organization.

Help me set it right.

If I say no...

Uh, yeah, okay.

Oh, you get a really good lawyer,

could get you maybe a year minimum security.

But you can't afford a really good lawyer.

Waiting on Jane?

She's out sick today.

- She okay? - She's fine.

Patterson, you have a tattoo for us?

No... I have two.

The lion is on Jane's right calf, and the bull

is on the left side of her waist,

so I was looking at them separately.

But when you put them together and translate the Spanish,

you get a Shakespeare quote.

"Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall."

Now, take a look at the numbers here.

And this is where it gets interesting,

because "sin" is also an abbreviation for sine.

So, it's trigonometry.

Yes!

What is the most famous lion in New York City?

And I'll give you a hint. It's a tie.

The statues outside of the Public Library.

And what is New York's most famous bull?

The Charging Bull

- in the Financial District. - Right.

We have two points of a triangle,

and I think we're supposed to solve for the third.

So, what angles can you take the sine of to get .9658 and .8367?

All right, can we fast forward to the answer, please?

Well, before we get there,

there's just one other thing that you should probably know.

This is how you cracked the tattoo?

An anonymous email?

This is a massive security breach!

You should have reported it to ITB immediately.

I did. I mean, we've been working on it for hours already,

but they used a VPN.

It just traces back to the Arctic Circle.

And you thought it was a good idea to use this magical intel from the North Pole

to solve a puzzle?

Patterson, what's the location the tattoos lead us to?

You kidding me? We can't follow it now.

Whoever sent that email had to have intimate knowledge of Jane's tattoos.

So, my guess would be the same people who put 'em on her.

Maybe something about this case has changed.

So, where does this third point...?

You end up with four possible locations.

Three of them are in bodies of water.

But the fourth...

is on a street in Queens.

- No answer? - No.

Patterson put our target location

20 feet from this spot.

Could be that one, this one.

Starting there.

FBI. Open up.

Gun!

Hey, guys, we got company!

Fall back! Move!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

FBI!

NYPD! Look out! Take cover!

Aah!

Don't shoot! We're coming out!

What the hell just happened?

You just blew a three-month operation in 30 seconds.

This place is a stash house.

NYPD's been staking it out, trying to catch the big players.

And thanks to us, they probably never will.

This doesn't make sense.

Why send us here if the NYPD were already on it?

I don't know. Right now,

my priority is damage control.

I suggest you all head back to SIOC.

Look at that.

That look familiar to anyone else?

This mural is a memorial for Paloma Diaz,

a 24-year-old girl who lived in the neighborhood.

She was the lead singer of a local band until she was killed seven years ago.

And this was the band's logo, tattooed on Jane's left arm.

So, the tattoos led us to the mural, not the drug house.

Who killed her?

The boyfriend... Ronnie Vargas.

He was convicted of her murder and sentenced to death... and wait for it.

His execution is tomorrow night.

That's why they sent us the email.

So, we need to solve this case, fast.

Maybe he was wrongfully convicted.

State's case was strong.

They said he was abusive,

that he forced Paloma to overstay her visa.

After she got caught and deported to Mexico,

Ronnie apparently went after her

and snuck her back into the country.

A few months later, he raped her,

he strangled her to death

and dumped her body, and it washed up in Delaware.

Easy to see why a jury would convict him.

That's what Ronnie's lawyers thought.

And they advised him to take a deal,

but he kept insisting that he was innocent.

Is there anything to indicate that he could be?

The river destroyed any DNA evidence.

But two years ago, he submitted an application

to the Innocence Clinic in Georgetown.

They took his case.

They're really picky about the defendants they'll represent.

They must have had a damn good reason to trust Ronnie.

We're on a pretty tight schedule, so let's split up.

Reade, why don't you track down the lawyer that did the appeal

and find out what they had.

Tasha and I will take the jet and talk to Ronnie.

We got 36 hours before Ronnie Vargas is executed.

Let's make sure the State of Delaware isn't killing an innocent man.

Ronnie, why don't we start from the beginning?

Give us your side of the story.

I'm dying tomorrow.

That's my side.

There's a chance we can help you.
