- Mom, look! A crab! - Oh!
That's so cool, kiddo.
But you have to be careful,
because Mr. Crab's claws can be really sharp.
There is something in the water.
It's...
Come now, quickly.
It's Afonso!
Anya, call the police.
- Get him covered. - You can't just leave him...
Anya, the police. I won't ask again.
Where are you going?
To tell the owner.
Miss Prescott?
Miss Prescott?
Miss Prescott.
Miss Prescott!
What?
There's a problem at the...
Well, you clean up nice.
Forrester pulled me aside,
said my undercover days were over
and that I should start looking like a real agent.
Uh, so... are we walking in together?
Sure. You want a piggyback ride?
Look, Damien...
- No, not that. - What?
That face... "this was fun, but that's all it was" face.
Okay, look, maybe you've been in this situation before,
but I haven't.
I totally get it.
I'll do a couple laps around the block
and I'll see you in there.
- Got a case. - Yep, headed in.
Hey, look who paid us a visit.
- What's up, Zoey? - Andre, Cameron.
She's in town teaching a class
at the International Law Enforcement Academy.
Oh, this is Damien Powell. He's new to the team.
This is Zoey McKenna.
She's worked with us on a few cases.
She's now the assistant legat in Warsaw.
I'm gonna loop her back in after we run the case.
Okay, Alexis Prescott...
An American citizen residing in Portugal,
daughter of some hotel big shot, Miles Prescott.
He founded Framework.
It's a hotel chain aiming to modernize
the luxury resort scene, 56 properties worldwide.
Alexis is a small-time influencer.
A handful of failed businesses... shoes, jewelry.
Last year, Prescott... The dad...
Bought an old resort in Cascais, Portugal,
to be refurbished, and Alexis was in charge of the redesign.
She is currently being detained as a person of interest
in the murder of one of the resort workers, Afonso Mendes.
30 years old, migrated from Cape Verde in 2018.
His body was found washed up on the resort's beach
with a gunshot wound to the chest.
The same morning that that body surfaced,
Alexis was found by the manager with blood
on her dress, no explanation where it came from.
DNA results on that blood are still pending.
Aren't we jumping the gun, stepping in at this point?
Her father is a close friend
of the U.S. ambassador to Portugal.
And this is where McKenna comes in.
Well, my former supervisor,
Nate Eddings, is legat in Portugal.
He says it's pretty tricky down there.
The ambassador likes everything to go through him
and isn't above playing favorites.
And since McKenna knows the operating environment,
she's gonna go with us... Be our snow plow.
Let's roll.
Welcome.
Thanks, Nate.
Cameron Vo.
Happy to help you guys to the extent that I can.
The rest of the team is headed to the judicial police
to question Alexis.
You mean the resort?
I'm sorry?
She's being detained at the resort.
Getting her nails done, or...?
Ah, they have her in a room. She's sequestered.
Like I told you, it's very clubby down here.
Apparently.
Miss Prescott's fianc, Peter Catmull, is also at the hotel.
He'd like to speak to you.
Okay, I'll call Forrester, get him up to speed.
Is there a room we can work out of?
Computers, secured lines?
Of course.
Nice digs.
Yeah, wait till you see the pool.
All right, Kellett and I will talk with Alexis.
Smitty and Powell, take the fianc.
Raines, hit up the manager.
Check back in if you find anything.
Where's Cam? She taking the day off?
She's at the embassy running tech.
Come on.
Marco DeSouza, superintendent and lead investigator.
Special Agents Forrester and Kellett.
In 30 years, I never had a detainee
as high profile as Miss Prescott.
And why the leniency?
- It wasn't my call. - As lead investigator? Really?
My superior is a close friend of Ambassador Bendel.
He forced my hand.
It seems like a lot of people here
have a lot of close friends.
Not everyone.
The Prescotts?
Absolutely.
Scott Forrester. This is Jamie Kellett.
FBI, yes. Thank God.
My father, has he arrived yet?
I don't know.
But you've talked to him, right?
Why would we? Was he here last night?
Leo Nu ez, Miss Prescott's lawyer.
Yeah, temporarily.
In Portugal, a suspect cannot be held without legal counsel.
Okay, my real lawyer is en route
from New York with my dad.
Well, we need to ask you a few questions.
I already gave my statement.
"I don't remember" may have been enough
to get the local police to leave you alone,
but it sure as hell won't be enough for a jury.
Miss Prescott, I'm required by Portuguese law to...
If you wanna be useful, go find my dad.
Police reports said this was the last night of you
and your fianc's joint bachelor/bachelorette party.
We had been celebrating for three straight days.
I passed out around midnight.
Didn't wake up until Fatima came knocking the next day.
Let's talk about the blood on your dress.
How'd that get there?
I don't know.
Well, there is something that you should know.
Lying to an FBI agent is a federal offense.
So, I'm gonna ask you again.
How did the blood get there?
So the only thing I can think of is,
one of my bridesmaids cut her hand.
She knocked over her glass.
It shattered, and she stupidly tried to pick it up again.
The Portuguese police are testing the DNA as we speak.
Were you acquainted with Afonso Mendes?
Yes.
I try to be friendly with all my employees
when I'm dealing with them.
Is there anything else that you suddenly remember?
No!
I swear to God.
We wanna talk to whoever was here
for that bachelorette party.
So would we.
Don't tell me that they're not here.
By the time the victim's body was found,
all the guests were flying back to the U.S.
Trust me. We are as frustrated as you.
Anyone on your team have a run-in with Alexis
before this incident?
No, but we had heard of her...
Daddy's little princess,
which isn't a crime, the last time I heard.
Yeah.
I'm supposed to get married in a few weeks,
and now my fianc e is being accused of murder
because her bridesmaid cut her finger?
How about we focus on answering the question?
What do you remember from that night?
And what's the deal with these local cops, huh?
Because it sure seems like they've got it out for Alexis.
We're not here to have a bitchfest
about the local cops.
The jam that your fianc e's in...
Stomp your feet all you want, it ain't going away.
Here's the problem.
Alexis's dad, he hires workers from Morocco, Angola.
These people should be over the moon
they're working for Americans.
We're here to talk about your fianc e and about you.
Me?
Where were you between midnight and 6:00 a.m.?
That's where this is going?
Yeah, because that's how investigations work.
We eliminate suspects.
You wanna stay on the short list?
Be my guest.
I was with my friends, celebrating.
We're gonna need their names and contact information.
These workers come from North Africa,
lugging all their beefs with them.
Guaranteed, this guy slept with someone's cousin back home,
or his dad stole someone's goat.
