Morgan notices that the data from the harddrives was downloaded, not onto the servers but to something external like a USB. Rex is going to prove very useful to Mankiewicz. Having been broadcast on the news that Rex was trained to sniff out the bills, Mankiewicz uses him to track down his stash in the precinct. This is when we find out Morgan too is working for Mankiewicz, when she uses a voice changer to phone Joe, pretending to be Charlie. Outside, the ERU gas company arrives, and guess who the “staff” happen to work for. The alarm blares, and the building is evacuated. Jesse: “That’s still lingering? Mushrooms don’t really agree with me.”But Joe means actual gas. The rest of the team has no idea this is all going on down in the holding cells, and they continue to work on gathering information in the hopes of an arrest. “Is that your lady friend?” Mankiewicz asks.Ĭharlie doesn’t deny it, which unfortunately just makes Sarah a bit of a target later on.
All the coincidences, it was all planned, with a little help from people on the inside.Ĭharlie’s phone buzzes with a call from Sarah. Locked in a cell, with Rex locked in another, Charlie figures Mankiewicz out. His “No, no don’t shoot,” is yelled in desperation, and it’s a fear that almost sends tears down Charlie’s face.
John Reardon pours emotion into Charlie when a gun is aimed at Rex. It’s a ruse and once the cell is unlocked and the guard has entered, Kai has his gun and turned it on Charlie. Rex’s attention is on a neighboring cellmate, Kai, who soon fakes a seizure. In Charlie’s defence, he does look skeptical of Mankiewicz at times, and once the action kicks off his intelligence resets to normal Charlie awesomeness. That sound you heard was me heaving a giant sigh.Ĭharlie, meanwhile, is trying to get information out of Mankiewicz, but Mankiewicz is playing dumb and acting innocent. A USB that he leaves on desks, and tosses into the air in boredom. With the servers down, Jesse has downloaded sensitive material off hard drives and onto a USB key. There are vague suggestions she might be catfishing him, that she created this distraction, for this night, knowing a distracted Jesse mightn’t overthink things like some of her word choices, or the servers being down. Jesse never says her name, or how they met, although it sounds like they’ve never actually met in person? Meanwhile, Morgan, the IT temp, is saying some things that hint towards her being Jesse’s date. But there’s also ambiguity with whom he’s supposed to be meeting. Jesse’s distracted by his date, which is looking less and less likely to happen. The team is less than thrilled by this, knowing they’ll have to stick around in case it all leads to an arrest. Joe’s using it as an opportunity to try and get information out of Mankiewicz about these counterfeit bills. There’s a lot in this episode that’s just a little off, and it concerns me the characters are written so oblivious at times. He’s just there for the night, until a space opens up for him in another penitentiary, but the timing is interesting. Jesse’s date might have to wait, because Mankiewicz has been moved to the cells at the SJPD. These idiots in love will be the last two to figure it out though. Mankiewicz spends this entire episode calling Sarah Charlie’s girlfriend and no one corrects him. They’re the kind of characters who will keep going on these “not a date” dates, until they have an epiphany in the middle of one of these evenings that, Oh! They’re already dating. They just don’t realize it because they pretend it's work-related, or Charlie needs a leaky ceiling fixed, or Jesse is present. Here’s an interesting fun fact about Charlie and Sarah: they’ve already gone out on several dates. It’s her “only date”, she announces, looking at Charlie as she says it. Sarah, meanwhile, has a date with her bathtub. But he isn’t a jerk about it, because he probably thinks the same thing about himself (he thinks it’s been a good eight months since his last date) but… he’d actually be wrong. “With a woman, who’s not my mom this time.” So far no arrests have been made, but the SJPD is on the case.Īlso important to note: This was Jesse’s first television cameo.Ĭharlie: “Does it? Really?”Speaking of Jesse, he has a date. Hudson has trained Rex to sniff out the counterfeit bills (and look at his face in the image above. SJPD suspects the notes are being manufactured off-shore.
There’s now fear that a new crime boss has emerged. This is the first hint of organized crime since Mankiewicz’s incarceration, eight months ago.
SJPD seized almost two million dollars in counterfeit bills.
