Lula Arslan.

They said Lula owes hundreds of thousands in credit card debt,
racked up in Dubai.
They needed help tracking her down to collect.

outside of her matches.

And who's your client?
Well, we never actually met in person.
We communicate through email and the occasional phone call.
Well, if they're from overseas,
it could still be Rubinsky or someone working for him.
Rubinsky lives and trains in Miami.
My client tends to contact me at off hours,
so I figure they're in another time zone.
Did you notice anything different this morning
before the kidnapping?
No, I don't think so.
Lula went directly from her hotel to the photo shoot.
And, uh, she was always with her team.
We think someone may have spiked her water bottle.
Her trainer says she never leaves it unattended.
But did you notice any time that she might have?

There's a reason I'm retired.
[SIGHS] I'm getting too old for all this action.
Thank you, Sheryll, for letting me help.
You can never go back in time to right a wrong,
but you can always do the right thing moving forward.
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS]
- I'll see you around. - See you around.
Best to your family.
Lula's going to be all right.
Coach is taking her back to Florida,
and the state's providing protective detail.
Oh, she must have had the luck of the Irish on her side.
So do you.
The Leprechaun Leap was called off.
- You're off the hook. - [BOTH CHUCKLE]
Well, it is Saint Patty's Day.
Who's down for green beer and cabbage?
I've got to pass.
Where you off to?
Somewhere I should have been a long time ago.
What do you call a bulletproof Irishman?
What?
Rick O'Shay.
[LAUGHS]
Hey.
Honey, what are you doing here?
I just thought I'd drop by. How was brunch?
Oh, it was good.
It would have been much better if you were there.
Is Dad around?
You know where to find him.
[TV CHATTER]
Hey, Dad. Happy birthday.
Sorry I missed brunch.
It's OK. We had fun with the kids.
All natural ingredients that will have your cat meowing.
You waiting on the Knicks game?
Sort of.
Recapping the top story tonight.
Tennis player Lula Arslan was rescued by the FBI
from a kidnapping attempt
by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
[TV MUTES]
You had a busy day.
How's your tennis player doing?
She's OK. She's going to be just fine.
Thank God she's a fighter.
Just like you.
And where do you think I got that from?
I'm no fighter...
not the way you wish I had been. Isn't that right?
You fought with me plenty about my choice
to become a cop and join the FBI.
Hey, don't make me come in there, you two.
Listen, I didn't come here to argue.
I came here to say...
[SIGHS] That I understand a little better now that
just because someone gives you orders to do something,
it doesn't always mean it's right.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]
And I respect you've always stood up for your values.
- Mm. - And I just wish
that you would respect my values and my choices too.
I didn't raise you to be a fool.
And only a fool would chase the uniform or risk her life
every single day to serve a country,
a system that doesn't value her life,
her mother's life, her father's life,
or, God forbid, her children's lives.
See, that's the problem.
When you see me, that's all you see, the uniform.
You don't see me.
You don't see your daughter,
the one you raised to stand up for what I believe in.
You know what? Maybe you did raise a fool.
I honestly thought we could have a conversation
instead of arguing.
What is there to talk about?
Every week, the headlines parade another name,
another tragedy,
in Ferguson, St. Paul, Memphis.
It never changes, and I'm tired.
And I'm trying to change that, Dad, in my own way.
We both want the same thing,
the right to feel safe in our communities,
the right to feel safe in our bodies.
And I'm trying to do my part, and honestly, I have no idea
what it's going to take to change things out there.
But I was hoping...
I was hoping we could start by trying to change
things in here between us.

After the day you had,
you still thought of me and came by.
And I jumped down your throat.
I'm sorry.

I can't promise I'll ever understand you completely
or that we'll see eye to eye,
but, uh,
I'm willing to listen.
So should I bring you two some ice packs
or some ice cream?
Let's have ice cream,
since I missed your birthday cake this morning.
