00:06I wasn't expecting you for a few more hours.
00:08Yeah, we had a laundromat explosion in Queens.
00:10Took out the assisted living home next door.
00:13The rest of the team's still at the scene, sifting through the debris.
00:15You know what caused it?
00:16We have a theory.
00:19Wouldn't be the first time a meth cook screwed up his recipe.
00:22Yeah, the AUSA's looking to finalize criminal complaints against the owners by the end of the day.
00:26We got a dozen more of these crates incoming.
00:27Then I get the pleasure of processing them all.
00:30Yeah, but think about all the overtime.
00:31Don't even have the time to spend it.
00:39Don't move!
00:41No, no, don't even think about it! Stop!
00:43Now! On the ground!
00:45On your knees! Right now!
00:47Grab his gun, dude.
00:51Just take the drugs and go.
00:53Shut up!
00:54Inside.
00:56Get up!
00:56Okay!
01:11Just do what we say and you will both live to see tomorrow!
01:14Okay? Do you understand?
01:17You're making a big mistake.
01:19Now we're fixing one.
01:21You.
01:22You.
01:23Me.
01:24Hey!
01:25Eyes!
01:26Pull up your inventory log.
01:28With all your cases, go!
01:33Come on!
01:37There, I'm in.
01:46Okay.
01:46It says it's in locker A27.
01:49A27!
01:49Dude, come on!
01:55Get down with him.
01:57Hey, we need a code!
01:58You heard him.
01:58We need a code!
01:5912-22!
02:07What the hell did you do?!
02:08What the hell did you do?!
02:08Nothing!
02:09I-I-I swear!
02:10The front gate is not a timer!
02:11Stop!
02:12Stop lying.
02:13You give me the code or I will put a hole in your head.
02:16She's telling you the truth.
02:17Once the alarm's been tripped, none of the lockers will open.
02:20Then we'll override it then!
02:22It takes eight minutes to reboot the system.
02:24Backup will be here in less than five, but if you leave now...
02:32You have five seconds before you join your buddy.
02:35Five!
02:37Four!
02:39Zero, eight, one, nine.
02:48There's too many of them.
02:49We're not gonna make it in time.
02:50Well, then we take them all!
03:17Isabelle?
03:19You got them all in?
03:21For the new Atick? Absolutely.
03:23How's life upstairs?
03:24I'm still fine in my footie.
03:26Well, I have no doubt you will.
03:28You know, I have to admit that when I heard that they were replacing Reynolds internally,
03:32I assumed it would be you knocking on my door.
03:34Well, like I told Robac, I'm on the right floor.
03:37So there's no elephant in the room, honestly.
03:40I'm relieved to hear that.
03:43Going forward, I need to know that the people who are working under me are with me completely, no matter
03:50what.
03:51Sir?
03:52The Bureau is at an inflection point.
03:54And in this next chapter, there's no room for Mavericks.
03:58So it's important now more than ever that we always remain on the same page.
04:12Hey.
04:14So, how do we feel about the new great and powerful laws?
04:17The guy moves up a few floors and his first order of business is to pass out loyalty tests.
04:22Really?
04:25What's up?
04:27Our evidence locker just got hit.
04:29What?
04:29Robbers killed an ERT agent in the process, Tate Lattimore.
04:33Tate?
04:34Oh, man.
04:35That's Grace's husband.
04:36Look, I want you down there running point.
04:38Okay.
04:43Okay, so 5.15 this morning, two masked gunmen use an ERT delivery to Trojan horse their way into our
04:49evidence locker room.
04:50Alarm trip at 5.18.
04:52NYPD showed up at 5.21.
04:54They cleared out that entire vault in under six minutes.
04:57That's motivated.
04:58Well, I am careful.
04:59The dirt bike they came in on had its plates covered, and they knew enough to disable the GPS on
05:04the ERT fan they fled in.
05:08Look at that wound.
05:09Definitely a large caliber round.
05:10Based on the tissue disruption, I would say it was a shotgun at close range, but I've never seen a
05:14shotgun casing that looks like that.
05:15No, that looks like it exploded.
05:18Ballistics has its work cut out for them as well.
05:20Hopefully, Skola and Eva have better luck with the witness.
05:25It's a responsibility to safeguard every piece of evidence that comes through those doors.
05:29The alarm was supposed to scare them off, but I can't believe they shot him.
05:34You were doing your job, okay?
05:36There's nothing more you could have done.
05:37I only knew Tate through drop-offs, but over the years it adds up, you know?
05:41Do you have any idea what they were looking for?
05:46One of them said they were here to fix a mistake.
05:48Fix a mistake?
05:49That's what he said.
05:50But I know, based on the locker, they cleared out whatever they were here for came sometime in the last
05:56year.
06:01Jubal!
06:03Up there, all right. Thank you, guys.
06:05Where is he?
06:06No, no, Grace, Grace.
06:07Grace, Grace.
06:08Where is he?
06:08Wait, wait, wait, Grace, Grace.
06:10What?
06:12I'm sorry.
06:14No.
06:14No.
06:15I'm so sorry.
06:16No.
06:16Jubal, please.
06:17I'm so sorry.
06:18No.
06:19No.
06:19I'm so sorry.
06:23No.
06:28We're an FBI family.
06:32I work the white-collar crimes.
06:34They're a risk, sure, but we're mostly at our computers, crunching numbers.
06:40I beg Tate to get out of the field.
06:42It was an organized crime, right?
06:44Yeah, 20 years.
06:46Took its toll.
06:48So, I begged them to take this job.
06:52What's the worst that could happen?
06:56We're going to do everything in our power to catch these guys.
07:01Okay.
07:02Well, I want to help.
07:06I cannot bear the thought of going home right now.
07:11Come on, let me do something.
07:13Jubal, let me help.
07:15Well, look, I'll talk to Isabel.
07:17I know, but I think we both know what you'll say.
07:22But, Grace, we are going to get justice for Tate.
07:30Yeah.
07:32Okay.
07:34It's a small comfort.
07:46For the last 23 years, Tate Lattimore dedicated his life to this bureau.
07:51This morning, two men came onto FBI turf and executed him in cold blood.
07:57We do not rest until they are in handcuffs.
07:59We know that they were targeting a case from last September.
08:03Have we had a chance to review the inventory log that Linda Juergen sent over?
08:07Yeah, but that locker had evidence on, like, 30 cases who disrupt the chain of custody.
08:11Yeah, your case gets thrown out.
08:13So, evidence from any one of these cases could have been the target.
08:16How do we narrow it down?
08:17We can't.
08:18All of these cases' trials are coming up soon.
08:20Some just within days of each other.
08:21Hey, ballistics report just dropped.
08:23Okay, what kind of firearm are we looking for?
08:25None.
08:25Apparently, what Maggie found at the scene wasn't actually a bullet.
08:29What was it?
08:29A whippet.
08:30A small steel canister filled with nitrous oxide.
08:33They're commonly used as a propellant for whip cream dispensers.
08:36Okay, well, we know from the surveillance that they weren't carrying those.
08:38So, how the hell did a whippet show up there?
08:40According to a scary ATF report from 2024, a new genre of untraceable guns is emerging.
08:46Perps are loading whippets into toy guns after this social media post went viral.
08:51Gun DIY here, and I'm going to show you a new hack.
08:54If you want to make a lethal projectile that explodes upon impact, take a little air compression
08:58and combine it with nitrous oxide, and voila, world's worst kid party.
09:03All right, shut it off.
09:05Is there any way that we can use this shrapnel to ID our killers?
09:09Okay, looks like ballistics was able to match the diameter of the whippet brand we recovered
09:13to the cylinder of the HyperStrike 100.
09:17It's a dart blaster modeled after an Uzi.
09:20So, this could be a match for a murder weapon, minus some spray paint,
09:23and I'm guessing this toy will be even harder to track down than the whippets, yeah?
09:26Correct. You can buy it online or any big box store.
09:29All right, well, we know that they took off in one of our own ERT vans, right?
09:33They turned off the GPS, but there's got to be a way to find that van.
09:35Being cross-referencing the plates with every reader in the city,
09:37we're putting together a possible route.
09:39Look, it crossed through Midtown, and we lost it around 25th and Lexington.
09:44Well, maybe it's still there. Let's send a team.
09:49There's the van.
09:51Banned it in broad daylight?
09:56This looks like everything from the warehouse.
10:03There's no way they went through all of this trouble for nothing.
10:05We've got to figure out what they took.
10:07Okay, I'll get ERT down here, have them bag everything back up,
10:09see what's missing.
10:11All right, have we ID'd any items our bad guys didn't part ways with?
10:14Uh, yeah. Took us a sec.
10:15Looks like it was K62314.
10:18Contained a laptop belonging to Joe Meliska,
10:21a disgraced investment advisor for a private money management firm.
10:25Joe was caught running an elaborate Ponzi scheme.
10:27I read about this. He bilked his clients out of millions.
10:30One hundred million.
10:31To be exact, investigators found credentials to Meliska's Cayman account.
10:34It's all on that laptop.
10:35So, if this laptop were to disappear, our case against him evaporates.
10:39We're not actually saying this Park Avenue Wall Street crook
10:42found an accomplice and broke into our evidence locker himself, right?
10:45Unlikely.
10:46The judge considered him a flight risk.
10:48He's on house arrest leading up to his trial next month.
10:50We can see his movements.
10:51All right, so maybe Meliska hired these shooters.
10:53Let's get a team over to Meliska's.
11:01Joe Meliska!
11:02FBI, open up!
11:06Joe!
11:08Doesn't sound like anyone's home.
11:09Think he's split?
11:10We may never know.
11:12The judge just denied the search warrant.
11:14What do you want to do?
11:15Well, Meliska's under house arrest and he's not answering,
11:19so the prosecutor in me would say that this is a wellness check.
11:28Joe!
11:31Hello?
11:34FBI!
11:38Joe?
11:40Joe Meliska.
11:43Skola?
11:44Yeah.
11:57He's dead.
11:59Hi.
11:59What do you think?
12:00Suicide?
12:02Either that or someone wants it to look like one.
12:15Rigger more to suggest Joe Meliska died 12 hours ago.
12:18That was before the robbery at our evidence warehouse.
12:20And then some.
12:21So it's safe to say that he didn't hire our shooters.
12:24You got an early hunch on the cause of death, Neil?
12:26I don't know for certain until I open them up, but based on the pills we found, fatal dose
12:30of amitriphaline, common antidepressant, causes arrhythmia.
12:35Ten pills would be enough to stop his heart.
12:37So it was a suicide?
12:39Or, like you said, staged to look like one.
12:42Yeah, Neil.
12:43What are your thoughts about the bruising along his jaw?
12:45I saw that discoloration here, like somebody pinched his jaw, forcing it open.
12:51And made him swallow those pills.
12:53Yeah.
12:53It's a theory.
12:54There's not enough evidence to be certain.
13:00I'm not so sure about that.
13:03Great.
13:03Hey, ERT, still searching Meliska's place.
13:06Found 30 hidden cameras so far.
13:08Paranoid millionaire crook.
13:09Now I've heard everything.
13:10You pull the feeds?
13:11Patching us into his cloud now.
13:13Okay, so Mosbeck said Meliska died 12 hours ago, so let's scrub back to then to see what
13:17happened.
13:20Okay, here's the crew.
13:21Uh, so they went to Meliska's penthouse before hitting the evidence facility.
13:26So they picked the lock, scrub forward, see what happens next.
13:32What do they want with Meliska?
13:36Zoom in.
13:39What is that?
13:39Is that a notebook?
13:41I can't get it from this angle.
13:44Looks like they then push him into the living room.
13:52Let's punch in.
14:02So our theory was right.
14:04They force-fed him a bottle of pills.
14:06Can-can we get an idea on these guys?
14:08Scrubbing ahead.
14:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, run it.
14:16Got a hit.
14:17All right, introducing Jared Huxley, 26.
14:20No priors?
14:20You're telling me this guy was a first-time offender?
14:22And is in the business of saving lives?
14:24Says he works for a suicide prevention hotline.
14:26So this guy went from preventing suicides to staging one?
14:30Why?
14:30Well, because Meliska screwed over thousands of people.
14:33They lost everything.
14:34Isn't it possible that Jared and his accomplice were both victims of Meliska's Ponzi scheme?
14:38They just want their money back?
14:39Right.
14:39So what?
14:40They visit Meliska to get credentials to his Cayman accounts, and then they kill him,
14:44and they raid the storage space to get his laptop.
14:46It's a waste of time.
14:47Meliska's Cayman account with the $100 million.
14:48It's frozen.
14:49They would never see that money.
14:50All right, we got two guys on a warpath, and we need to figure out why.
14:53Well, let's get Jared Huxley to fill in the blanks.
14:56Where is he now?
14:56Uh, phone's off, but according to his last W-2, he lives with his mom in Flatbush.
15:11Execute.
15:18FBI, show me your hands.
15:19Don't shoot.
15:20Is anyone else in the house?
15:22No.
15:22What's going on?
15:23Why are you here?
15:25Go find Jared.
15:26I have her.
15:33This has to be some kind of mistake.
15:37Ms. Huxley, we have Jared on camera murdering two people in two different lives.
15:42locations.
15:43One of those was an FBI agent.
15:45No, not Jared.
15:47He only looks to help people.
15:49He's a good kid.
15:50Maybe.
15:51Where is Jared right now?
15:53I don't keep tabs.
15:54Ms. Huxley, I am not messing around.
15:56Where is your son?
15:58Maggie.
15:59You found the laptop.
16:00It was behind her headboard.
16:05You want to try this again?
16:11I had three sons.
16:13Jared, Sam, and Drew.
16:16The baby.
16:18When he was 17, he hung himself in our garage.
16:24I found the how-to site on his computer for the noose.
16:29We all took it bad.
16:31Me and his brothers.
16:34But it was me who found him.
16:39I cut him down myself.
16:45All we wanted was answers.
16:47And you think they're on that laptop.
16:48I know it.
16:49And Jared and his brother, I didn't raise them to be cowards.
16:52So that's who Jared was working with, his brother Sam.
16:56We're done here.
16:58I want to call a lawyer now.
17:05She knows exactly what her sons are up to.
17:07Yeah, enough to help.
17:09The pills that are on the table,
17:11that's the same drug that was found in Melisca's system.
17:14Well, it's one thing to protect your sons,
17:15but if she gave them the drugs they use.
17:17Yeah, that's conspiracy.
17:18But the charges are never going to stick
17:20unless we find Jared and Sam.
17:22I've seen suicide bring families together,
17:23but to kill people?
17:24What the hell's going on here?
17:26I don't know.
17:27But it's got something to do with that laptop.
17:33We've got to find Jared and Sam Hoxley.
17:36Anything on the laptop that can clue us in
17:38to where they're headed next?
17:39Well, based on the recent items log,
17:42I can see every application and file
17:44Jared and Sam accessed on Melisca's laptop,
17:46and it does look like they dug around for a while
17:50until they came across a ledger of some kind.
17:54Five accounts, all labeled using a code name,
17:56all have transactions going back years.
17:58Is there any way to get an ID
18:00on the owners of these accounts?
18:01Not without the cipher key,
18:03but based on Jared and Sam's last Google search,
18:05looks like we might already have one.
18:08Carlson Ambrose, guy owns the Van Allen Club,
18:11private social club on the Upper East Side.
18:13They pulled the address.
18:14All right, I'm going to get a team over there.
18:15Ambrose could be in danger.
18:23FBI.
18:25We're looking for Carlson Ambrose.
18:27Mr. Ambrose is taking a meeting in our lounge.
18:29I saw him head up 10 minutes ago.
18:32Second floor up those stairs.
18:49FBI, drop your weapons.
18:51Nice and slow.
18:52Put it down.
19:04I'm on it.
19:06Gunshot's fired.
19:07We need an ambush at this location.
19:22Stop!
19:24Put the guns down now!
19:25Go!
19:27Go.
19:28Move!
19:30Move the assistance.
19:36So, Spike, last scene,
19:38fleeing on a motorcycle down Madison.
19:40Sam Huxley, you're under arrest.
19:41Yeah, you shouldn't be arresting me, though.
19:43I'm one of the good guys.
19:44Yeah, are you?
19:45You just stood by while your brother killed an innocent man.
19:47Yeah, and I do it again, okay,
19:48because he's a pedophile.
19:51They all are.
20:02Sit down.
20:03No, you shouldn't be arresting me.
20:05There are rich, powerful men out there abusing kids right now.
20:08I said sit down.
20:09No, you're protecting them.
20:11You're the reason that Drew is dead.
20:13Sit down.
20:18Sam, we know that you and your brother murdered three people today.
20:22And one of those was an FBI agent.
20:23It always all means Jared had nothing to do with it.
20:25Okay, well, the evidence says otherwise.
20:30Why are you protecting him?
20:31Jared's just making things right.
20:33Okay, those bastards, they deserve to die.
20:35They're pedophiles.
20:36Well, how do you know that for sure?
20:38Because they raped my little brother.
20:42Joe Maliska, the guy at the club.
20:44They touched Drew.
20:46He's dead because of them.
20:47Your mother said that your brother Drew committed suicide.
20:51Did she mention what we found after he was gone?
20:57What?
20:58Proof.
21:00He wrote about it in his diary, okay?
21:03All the different men, how they touched him.
21:07Where's this diary?
21:08Jared has it.
21:09It's all in there.
21:10I'm telling you guys, it's all in there, okay?
21:12There's a whole group of these sick freaks,
21:14and they are preying on kids, okay?
21:17And Jared just...
21:19He's gonna stop it once and for all.
21:22Okay, in this diary, did it mention Joe Maliska by name?
21:25He's the only name because he was the first one that Drew was sold to.
21:28But when we showed up to his house, he confessed,
21:30and he said that he knew who the others were.
21:32And if we want those names, that it's in his laptop.
21:34Which was in the evidence locker.
21:37We typed in the code that he gave us, and it's all there.
21:41Every transaction.
21:43Every name.
21:44Sam, if this is true, we are gonna hold these men accountable.
21:48And if you want justice for what happened,
21:50you need to tell us where Jared is before he makes this even worse.
21:53And I need a list of those names.
21:55They're rich and powerful.
21:56You really think they're fancy lawyers?
21:58You're gonna let them go down for this?
22:01No, Jared says that if we want justice, we have to handle this on our own.
22:05No, you need to understand it.
22:06No, you need to understand.
22:10We didn't have a dad.
22:13We only had each other.
22:15We are all that we've got.
22:17So Jared's gonna make them pay.
22:19Sam.
22:22If you let us help you,
22:25you have a chance to walk free again.
22:27Otherwise, you're gonna spend a life behind bars.
22:30All because you just wanted an eye for an eye.
22:33If it's your brother or your little sister,
22:40what would you do?
22:47All right, folks, listen up.
22:49So Sam Huxley is not cooperating,
22:50but we do have a potential lead.
22:52He claims that Melisca was a member of a pedophile ring.
22:55And we suspect those five transactions on his laptop,
22:58that's Jared's hit list.
22:59So we need to identify the names behind those transfers
23:01before anyone else gets hurt.
23:02I'm talking to you, Ian.
23:03How we doing?
23:04Yeah, I'm working on it,
23:04but the encryption is sophisticated.
23:06Sam and Jared had the decryption key.
23:08Well, keep working.
23:08How we doing tracking Jared the old-fashioned way?
23:10Well, we're up on facial recognition.
23:11But so far, nothing,
23:12and his phone still isn't pinging.
23:13And we do not have time for a dead end.
23:14There must be something we haven't tried
23:16to get the names off that laptop.
23:19Something outside the box.
23:29Hey, I'm sorry.
23:30I shouldn't have asked you to come down here.
23:32No, no, no.
23:32I said I wanted to help.
23:33I meant it.
23:34Yeah? Are you sure?
23:35Yes.
23:35Okay. Did you find anything?
23:37So folks never commit just one financial crime.
23:40I cross-reference all of the accounts
23:41in Maleska's ledger with our case files.
23:43It's, uh, still processing.
23:46Oh, okay.
23:46Great.
23:49So I heard Tate's killers
23:51are hunting for a pedophile ring.
23:53Well, allegedly.
23:54It seems Tate just got caught in the crosshairs.
24:00So it's vigilante justice.
24:01The Hoxleys were so focused on them
24:03kind of catching the guys who hurt their brother.
24:06They didn't care who they killed along the way.
24:10Oh.
24:11Whoa.
24:12Wow.
24:15It's quite a list.
24:17All right, you get my text
24:18with the names on Jared's hit list.
24:20Sending it up to the screen now.
24:21Okay, so Joe Maleska and Carlson Ambrose
24:22are both dead, which leave Colton Bradshaw,
24:25Ron Daniels, and Nick Morgan.
24:26Now, obviously, these are some of the most powerful men
24:28in New York.
24:29So who's Jared going for next?
24:31Well, there's nowhere to tell,
24:32so we need to send teams out to all of them now,
24:33get them into protective custody.
24:35As detestable as it is,
24:36it is our job to keep these people safe,
24:38and any one of them could be Jared's next target.
24:49This him?
24:50Yeah.
24:51Nick Morgan, FBI.
24:53We're gonna need you to come with us.
24:54What the hell's going on in here?
24:55Shh.
24:57Jared!
25:00Put the gun down now.
25:02You don't understand.
25:03Please, help me.
25:03Shut up!
25:04Jared, look at me.
25:05We understand.
25:08Jared?
25:09Look, I'm Eva, okay?
25:11We know.
25:12You believe that this man assaulted your brother, right?
25:15I have proof!
25:16I did no such thing!
25:18Oh, your friend told me exactly what you did
25:20before I bashed in his skull!
25:21The FBI is taking your claim seriously,
25:24and if this man did what you say he did,
25:26then we will prosecute him,
25:28and you will get justice.
25:30Jared.
25:32Put the gun down.
25:34Just let us take it from here, okay?
25:38Jared.
25:40Think about your family.
25:42Think about your mom.
25:47You don't want her to lose another son, right?
25:57You're right.
26:01I didn't think about my family.
26:03Yeah.
26:06And what he did to us.
26:08Here we go.
26:12What the hell is it?
26:37Okay.
27:07So, uh, every name on this list, I mean, they are connected.
27:12They donate to politicians on both sides of the aisle.
27:16This is gonna ring alarm bells upstairs.
27:24What do we have to support Jared and his brother's claims?
27:27Well, we did a deep dive into Nick Morgan, his financials, phone history, socials.
27:31We noticed a pattern.
27:32Yeah, every time Nick sent a transfer of $9,999 to Joe Maliska, he first made a call to this
27:39specific phone number two minutes before every single time.
27:43Wait, what? What are we talking about?
27:44We're not sure, but Carlson Ambrose did the same thing.
27:47First, he dialed that phone number, and then he transferred the money.
27:50All the men in Maliska's laptop follow the exact same pattern, including the two we have in our custody, Colton
27:54Bradshaw and Ron Daniels.
27:56And that number is an IVR, Interactive Voice Response System.
28:00It allows businesses to take incoming calls without needing a live agent.
28:04Okay, so we know Maliska handled the money, but he did not work alone.
28:08So who is the Epstein of this ring, the man of the center?
28:12Whoever he is, he's hiding behind a matrix of shell corps.
28:14Let's keep peeling that onion.
28:16All right, you've got the phone number.
28:18Call it.
28:19Dialing.
28:25How many hours did you sleep last night?
28:29When does the green line arrive?
28:34Where does the blackbird nest?
28:38What is your favorite city in Ohio?
28:42Goodbye.
28:45So this is all part of some secret code.
28:47The men dial this number, presumably answer the questions, and then a few minutes later wire the money?
28:53Well, I have a hunch as to what they're ordering, but we need to crack the code, right?
28:56We couldn't try, but one of those questions is surely a bona fide.
28:59It's designed to prove that you're part of the inner circle.
29:01Yeah, so let's talk to somebody in that inner circle.
29:07This is an unjust detention.
29:10My client is a victim.
29:12The longer you keep him, the better our civil case becomes.
29:16Proof that your client repeatedly sent $9,999 to a known money launderer.
29:24Anti-money laundering rules remain a legal gray area, and we both know it.
29:29Here's where it really gets interesting.
29:31Do you see that phone number right there?
29:34Yeah, Colton, we know.
29:38Your client called that number before each and every money transfer.
29:42Not just him, so did the other four pedophiles who sent money to Meliska.
29:47Pedophiles?
29:48I guess I'll be adding defamation and malicious prosecution to our suit.
29:52Right after we connect that phone number to a child sex trafficking ring
29:56that your client paid to participate in dozens of times.
30:01What are you offering?
30:03Limited use immunity.
30:28What do you want?
30:29The ringleader.
30:30I don't know his name.
30:31Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
30:33Let's do it this way.
30:35Call the number.
30:37Place an order like you normally would for later today.
30:41Do what she says.
30:59How many hours did you sleep last night?
31:03Fourteen.
31:07It's the age you want.
31:13When does the green line arrive?
31:17Four p.m.
31:19Where does the blackbird nest?
31:23Lenter Hotel, room 2006.
31:26What is your favorite city in Ohio?
31:30We know this is the bonafide's question.
31:34Do not play games.
31:37Just answer.
31:43I've never been to Ohio.
31:47Your order will be processed upon receipt of payment.
31:57We're looking for a 14-year-old boy.
32:02Try not to spook him.
32:03In position.
32:05The second he shows up, we pull him.
32:10Drop-off's two minutes late.
32:16All right, here we go.
32:17I think I got him.
32:19Yeah, I got eyes, brown hair, khakis.
32:25Oh, wait.
32:26You see what car he got out of?
32:27Negative.
32:28He must have showed up on foot.
32:30I'm going to make an approach.
32:34Hey.
32:35Do you...
32:36Are you staying here?
32:37Do you have a room upstairs?
32:38Where are your parents?
32:40Okay.
32:41No, I see.
32:41You don't want to talk to strangers.
32:43That's okay.
32:43Your folks, they raised you right.
32:45I'm good.
32:45Just leave me alone.
32:46No, wait.
32:47You see, I'm an FBI agent.
32:49So that means that I can help you make sure
32:51that you get to your parents safely.
32:54Do you understand what I'm saying?
32:57Maggie, you're not in any kind of trouble
32:58or anything, all right?
32:59We're just here to help.
33:03Maggie.
33:04Oh, wait, he's out of your way.
33:11Easy.
33:12Hey, hey, hey.
33:13You're safe.
33:14We just need to talk to you for a few minutes.
33:23I want to be clear.
33:25You are not in trouble, okay?
33:26You didn't do anything wrong.
33:28Okay?
33:29Can you tell us the name of the man
33:31who told you to come here?
33:34Great.
33:35You can help us identify him.
33:38No.
33:39I won't.
33:40Wait.
33:44We're all here to help you.
33:46No, you're not.
33:48He is.
33:51I'd never hurt him.
34:03Thank you both for waiting.
34:07Hi.
34:08My name's Isabel.
34:10Grayson, I was hoping that you could help me
34:12with something today.
34:16You still don't feel like talking?
34:18Grayson, these folks are here to help you.
34:21Please talk to them.
34:23It's okay.
34:24Listen, I understand that loyalty is very important to you.
34:28It's important to me, too.
34:31But the thing about loyalty is
34:33it can't exist without trust.
34:36And I am afraid, Grayson, that you are trusting the wrong man.
34:43This man, he's lied to you, Grayson.
34:47No.
34:48He's been helping me.
34:50How?
34:53Did he tell you to keep all of this quiet?
34:58Did he tell you you'd lose everything
35:00if anyone found out what he was doing?
35:04Did he say,
35:05you have a bright future,
35:07one that I'm invested in,
35:09but all of it will go away
35:11if you don't keep my secrets?
35:17How?
35:18How do you know that?
35:21Because you're not the only one.
35:30What is that?
35:32It's a diary.
35:33This belonged to a boy,
35:35just like you.
35:36His name was Drew.
35:38And this same man promised Drew
35:41that he could have the future of his dreams.
35:44But for a price,
35:47his silence.
35:49Drew committed suicide.
36:03He told me he knew a congressman
36:06that could get me into West Point.
36:08Had me meet with him.
36:11And that's when...
36:12Oh, my God.
36:13You're talking about the youth program.
36:17What youth program?
36:18I signed him up for a mentorship program
36:20at the community center.
36:22That's where you must have met these men.
36:25Grayson,
36:26do any of these people look familiar?
36:31This is the one that can get me into college.
36:35That is not a congressman.
36:37Grayson, I'm so sorry.
36:38No, no, no, that can't be.
36:41He said my mom wouldn't have to get another job.
36:45And...
36:47She just worked so hard.
36:49I...
36:50I wanted to help.
36:51I was just trying to make things better.
36:52It is not your job to take care of me.
36:57I'm supposed to take care of you.
37:02I'm so sorry.
37:07You listen to me.
37:09This is not your fault.
37:12You were lied to
37:14and manipulated
37:15and used.
37:17Now you know the truth.
37:18So please,
37:20tell me who introduced you to this man.
37:32All right, people.
37:33So Grayson ID'd the trafficking win leader
37:35as Ricky Benson.
37:36Let's talk about him.
37:37What do we know?
37:37He's a pillar of the community.
37:39Currently runs a youth program
37:40providing mentorship to underprivileged boys.
37:42He claims to connect them
37:44to elite colleges and sponsors
37:45who will invest in their future.
37:47Grayson and Drew Huxley
37:47were both participants.
37:48There's currently six other boys in the program.
37:50According to Grayson,
37:51Benson Lordeman through meetings
37:52with wealthy donors
37:53looking to sponsor his future.
37:55There's no telling
37:55how many kids he's done this to.
37:56How are we doing?
37:57Yeah, we just got a hit
37:58on a pole cam
37:59at Red Hook bus terminal.
38:02He's already trying to leave the city.
38:04Notify Red Hook security.
38:05This man does not leave this station.
38:08All we know is that our suspect's
38:10wearing a tan jacket.
38:11His bus leaves in 15 minutes.
38:12All right, let's put up
38:13and cut more ground.
38:31He's not out here.
38:35No sign of him.
38:37Ricky's not on the bus.
38:45You've got eyes on a tan jacket.
38:49Could be him approaching now.
39:02Not him.
39:20He's headed your way.
39:21FBI, move!
39:27Ricky Benson, FBI.
39:54Get up, Ricky.
39:55Get up!
39:56You're under arrest.
39:57For what?
39:58I've done nothing wrong.
40:03You're about to find out
40:04who your real friends are now.
40:15Well, maybe he'd show
40:16an ounce of remorse,
40:17but there was nothing.
40:18No, we got him, though.
40:20He won't hurt anyone ever again.
40:22As long as his friends
40:23in high places don't protect him,
40:24and I've seen how that
40:25plays out in court.
40:26Well, hopefully Isabel
40:27will work that out with the AUSA.
40:29We did our part.
40:31It's time for others to do theirs.
40:38CEO, Colton Bradshaw,
40:39real estate tycoon Ron Daniels,
40:42Mr. Ricky Benson,
40:43that's quite the list you targeted.
40:45Ada Green, I can explain.
40:46You won't.
40:51You're accusing some of the most
40:52high-profile men in our city
40:53of being sex offenders.
40:56Pedophiles.
40:58And you're getting pressure
40:59from upstairs to keep it quiet.
41:01Yes.
41:02I had a feeling this was coming.
41:04I just didn't think it would be so fast.
41:07Well, these men want to make sure
41:08certain headlines don't make the news,
41:10so they're going to act fast.
41:12Lawrence, I've been thinking a lot
41:16about what you said,
41:17about your expectation
41:17that we are going to be on
41:19the same page.
41:21I cannot make that promise.
41:25I can't be selective
41:26about doing my job.
41:30These victims,
41:31they deserve justice.
41:36That's exactly how I feel.
41:41Proceed with full charges.
41:43But be aware,
41:44this could get ugly,
41:45and you'll need to fight.
41:48And I'll be right behind you.
42:30I'll be right behind you.
42:33I'll be right behind you.
42:37I'll be right behind you.
42:38I'll be right behind you.
42:40I'll be right behind you.
42:41I'll be right behind you.
42:41I'll be right behind you.
42:41I'll be right behind you.
42:41I'll be right behind you.
42:42I'll be right behind you.
42:42I'll be right behind you.
