Though they can’t see him yet, they know Sam is close. “You just happened to be in Venezuela?” Jane asks as Sam replies, “Morocco, actually. But hey, what’s a few borders and an ocean anyway? You’ve got people looking out for you Jane Tennant.”
Details are revealed about the kind of backup Jane really needs as a presumed dead criminal, Adrian Creel, may actually be out to get her. Jane cleans up what she can from the crime scene as Sam offers to go get the guy who is after her.
“Look, I appreciate the offer, but this is on me,” Jane tells Sam over the phone. “I know you’re gonna say you’re just doin' your job, but you are a long way from home. I think this was above and beyond.”

What comes next will happen in Hawai’i — with or without Sam in tow.
