Notwithstanding the fact that Sandstorm has been watching Weller for almost 20 years and that he has heard Shepherd’s voice before, some of them deduced that a Sandstorm operative may have kidnapped him.
But after the whole operation goes south, all the FBI has to go on is Lynn and Clive, both of whom are in custody. Weitz takes point on questioning Lynn. With her future in prison certain, she scrambles to tell the truth in exchange for a deal.
She detailed how a man named Emile hired them, and all they knew was that they were going undercover to steal an item from the Evergreen Environmental Summit.
The bigger news of the episode is that Nico Marconi, an arms dealer who is eighth on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, is bankrolling the job. He is the one that wants the item, and he is willing to cough up $8 million to get the job done.
Subsequently, the episode made a little fun with the timeline of the heist. When Nas questions Clive, he tells a different story as viewers watch the same scene play out in different ways; in one, he’s the hero, and in the other, he’s taking a backseat to the actions of Jane and Kurt.
