00:03I cannot believe you got us into the all-time love.
00:07It's like you could miss a comeback tour.
00:09Seeing them was our first date.
00:11Yeah, but how did you even afford the tickets?
00:13The show was sold out.
00:15Five years married, you deserve the best for our anniversary.
00:19Meaning I don't want to know.
00:23I love my wife!
00:24Whoa. I'm sorry about that, guys.
00:27Why don't you watch Ray walking?
00:29Calm down. It was an accident.
00:31Calm down? You want to go right now?
00:33Okay, okay. My husband had a few too many.
00:36He didn't mean anything by it. He's sorry.
00:38No harm, no foul. Right?
00:41You guys have a nice night.
00:48It's Fleet Week. What, are you trying to start a fight
00:50with the whole freaking Navy?
00:52I can take him.
00:54Because your love makes me strong.
00:56Aw, man.
00:56Okay. I love you too.
00:58Come on. Let's get you home.
01:00We try and fight at the Army too.
01:16I'll be honest. It's a lot, but I have taken the time. And I've really let myself feel all of
01:24it. And I know that grief is a process. It's gonna come and go. But I have been taking care
01:29of myself.
01:31And I just had my last session with my EAP counselor and he agrees. I'm ready to be back.
01:36I got his recommendations. But I have to sign off that you are okay to return to the field.
01:43Maggie, losing your sister, that was an incredible trauma. And you said the exact same things after losing your husband,
01:52verbatim.
01:53I wish I could say I haven't been here before. But I have. I'm just, I'm worried. Are you saying
02:03what we need to hear?
02:04No. The man who killed my sister is dead. I got justice for Aaron. I mean, as much as I
02:11could. It wasn't the same thing with Jason. It took me years to get closure for him.
02:19Isabel, I'm good.
02:23You ready to get back into it? Jubal just flagged a double homicide in Flatbush.
02:27I'm ready.
02:30Okay.
02:37That way. Keep an eye on her.
02:42I always do.
02:45Hey, I wanted to say thanks for checking in on me back in Indiana. You're really...
02:50I know.
02:51Yeah.
02:52If I lost my sister, you would have done the same for me.
02:54I know.
02:56FBI?
02:57Yeah.
02:57Detective Hill, NYPD.
02:58Uh, it's Special Agent Maggie Bell. This is Special Agent Sedan. We got a call?
03:03Yeah. The wife there? She's a federal employee. Office of Inspector General.
03:07Guess we're up to bat.
03:08Sorry to pass the buck.
03:09What can you tell us?
03:10Mel, her husband, Charlie Hackinson, executed after leaving a show at King's Theater late last night. Working theory was gang
03:17initiation. Kids killing random civilians. Wrong place, wrong time. It happens.
03:22Any witnesses?
03:23Some sailors on shore leave from Fleet Week. They called 911. I was just about to interview them.
03:28We can handle that. Thanks, Detective.
03:30Sure thing. Good luck.
03:31Thanks.
03:33I exchanged some words with the husband, but we were walking away when I heard the tire squeal.
03:37So they weren't on foot?
03:39A dark van pulled up next to them. The driver sprayed them with a pistol. It was over in a
03:42second.
03:43Over in a second, there's two dozen shell casings on the ground. It couldn't have been that fast. It was
03:47automatic. Had an extended clip. Never seen anything like it.
03:51We ran over to try to help. Maybe do CPR, but they were clearly dead. That's when I called 911.
03:58Did you happen to get a visual of the assailant? Or a plate?
04:01Sorry, ma'am. No. It was dark.
04:04Okay. Thanks for your help.
04:07They're all .40 caliber. Pretty common.
04:09Yeah. I'll get them to ballistics. Also, we should check out the security cams. Maybe we can ID the assailant
04:14that way.
04:17I mean, gang initiation? I don't know.
04:21And she's back. What do you think?
04:24Well, we've been popping off this many rounds and making sure they were dead.
04:27Doesn't sound random. That sounds targeted.
04:35All right, people. I need a coffee and a sit rep. Talk to me.
04:40So, Mel and Charlie Hackinson, age 32 and 33, shot dead late last night after a show in Flatbush.
04:46Are we finding any reason why somebody would have wanted them dead?
04:49Not really. Social media indicates they were happily married five years. We're following up.
04:53With family and friends. But so far, it doesn't sound like the Hackensons had any enemies.
04:57Nothing's jumping out.
04:58Well, nothing yet. But we're just warming up, right?
05:01Marnie, you don't have to do that. You're my new favorite.
05:05Oh, wait. We have a video, don't we?
05:07Yes. Maggie and OA found a camera that caught the shooting.
05:10We get a look at the shooter?
05:11No, but we ID'd the van. NYPD reported it stolen two days ago.
05:15Although, no footage of the theft.
05:16Okay. But we found casings at the scene, right? We get anything from that?
05:20Yes. Ballistics ran it. Injector marks on the underside of the casings. Confirmed that weapon is a Glock pistol.
05:25Best guess, given it was chambered in 40 cal, Glock 22.
05:28Wait, but the witness said he saw an automatic, right?
05:31Uh, yeah. It was probably modded with illegal parts.
05:33Using an auto-seer can turn any pistol into a fully automatic spray-and-pray handgun.
05:38Okay. Any way to trace the mods through the shells or something?
05:41Unfortunately, no. Streets are swimming with modified handguns. ERT is dusting casings for prints, but I'm not holding my breath.
05:46Right. So, a whole bunch of nothing so far. But clearly, somebody wanted this married couple dead.
05:51So, let's open up their story a bit. Where do they work? Where do they play? Any red flags?
05:55Charlie worked at the Port of New York as a longshoreman unloading freight. Not so much as a parking ticket
06:00on his record.
06:01Mel was an analyst with the Office of Inspector General. Investigated complaints of fraud and waste inside the federal government.
06:08Right. She basically pissed people off for a living. That can relate. That could easily be a motive there, right?
06:13So, let's bring her boss in, see what Mel was working on.
06:17OIG employees, they get threats all the time. Now, we got these citizen journalists digging in on everything we do.
06:24We get paid peanuts to keep people honest. And then, now, this? I'm sorry.
06:32It's okay. What did Mel do, exactly?
06:35She was an analyst. Just crunching numbers, making sure they lined up.
06:39And these are all of her active audits?
06:41Yeah, Mel oversaw just a handful of NGOs, federal contractors.
06:45Okay. And if she stumbled upon something during one of these audits?
06:48She would have flagged it, and then she would have reported it to me.
06:55Is there something you want to tell us, Abe?
07:01Look, Mel was a great employee. Never any issue. I knew I could count on her, you know?
07:07Three days ago, I get this alert. Mel had logged into one of our digital forensic tools after hours.
07:12Completely off-book, not tied to any approved investigation.
07:17She was digging into some guy. His personal life, way out of bounds.
07:23I was gonna confront her about it.
07:27Today, I don't know what she was looking for.
07:30But nothing good was gonna come out of it.
07:34We're gonna need a name.
07:37All right, folks, eyes up!
07:38One of our Vicks was running an off-book investigation into this man, Donny Slomkowski.
07:43So run him through your systems, yeah? All right, what do we know?
07:45Okay, Donny, 34, born and raised in New Brunswick.
07:49He's got a spotty work history, but he was busted in 2014 for armed carjacking.
07:54Sentenced to 15 years in New Jersey State Prison. Paroled out two weeks ago.
07:58Last known address is his mother's house.
07:59Okay, this sounds promising. Can we connect the thread between Mel Hockinson and Donny?
08:04Who was he to her? Why was she looking into him?
08:07Yeah, took a deeper dive into Mel's social media.
08:10Looks like she, Charlie, and Donny, they all knew each other from high school. They were friends.
08:13Uh, more than friends. Mel and Donny used to date, even signed a lease together in 2013.
08:19Right, so they were getting serious.
08:20New York lease? That's a commitment to me.
08:23Yeah, but while Donny was in prison, it ends.
08:25In plot twist, Mel marries Charlie, sends Donny a note to explain.
08:29It's in his file because afterwards, he sends her a series of threatening letters until he loses male privileges.
08:36Okay, let's track him down. Yeah, this is easy math, right?
08:39Donny goes to prison. Mel breaks up with him and then marries his old pal Charlie.
08:43And nine years later, Donny gets out. He's a scorned, jilted lover looking for payback.
08:47And Mel, concerned that Donny's out, looks him up.
08:49Boss.
08:50Yeah, where's Donny now?
08:51A plate reader just picked up a vehicle registered to him crossing the Brooklyn Bridge.
08:54Now the team, pick him up.
09:07Donny Slimkowski, FBI!
09:10He's booking it!
09:14Hey!
09:14Hey!
09:16Hey!
09:17Hey!
09:17Get off me!
09:18Let's go.
09:19On the ground, now!
09:23Donny Slimkowski, you're under arrest.
09:32Mel and Charlie are dead?
09:35Spraying 20 rounds into people can have that effect on them.
09:39Well, we're not telling you anything that you don't already know.
09:42Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I didn't have anything to do with this. When was this?
09:45Donny, stop, alright? We know that you were in love with Mel.
09:48You went to prison, she broke your heart and married your best friend.
09:52I did not!
09:53I would never hurt Mel or Charlie.
09:57When was this?
09:58When?
09:59Yeah, when did they get killed?
10:0011.30 last night.
10:02In the city?
10:03In Flatbush.
10:04Yeah, see, I was in Jersey.
10:06All night.
10:07I have to be.
10:08It's part of my parole.
10:09I can't leave the state.
10:10Donny, my partner fed you New York State pavement not more than an hour ago.
10:15That's why I ran.
10:16I didn't want to get violated.
10:18I stayed at my cousin's last night in Jersey.
10:21There's like four people who can vouch for me.
10:22So what were you doing in the city today?
10:29Charlie had something going on.
10:32Easy money, he said.
10:34He said he'd cut me in.
10:35He called like a week ago.
10:37Knew I got out.
10:38Life changing money, he said.
10:42Alright, I'll bite.
10:45So, what can you tell us about this life changing money scheme?
10:49The ports.
10:50His boss had it all figured out.
10:51They were smuggling things in through the ports.
10:53That's what he said.
11:01They're really gone.
11:02Yeah.
11:06Alright, so this is Charlie's boss.
11:08Yeah, Ron Stromberger, 58.
11:10He's been a longshoreman for 20 years.
11:13Foreman for six.
11:14He's divorced.
11:15Kids are with the ex-wife.
11:16Seems like a solid citizen on paper.
11:19Any criminal record?
11:20Uh, misdemeanor drunk in public from 15 years ago.
11:23Otherwise, no.
11:24Alright, so what is he moving to generate all this cash?
11:26Drugs, guns, what?
11:27Whatever it is.
11:28Maybe he didn't want Charlie's ex-con buddy cut in on it.
11:31Oh, yeah.
11:32Blue slip sinks ships.
11:34The shady foreman Ron flies off the handle, silences his guy for getting sloppy.
11:38That plays.
11:39Where's Ron now?
11:41His phone is picking at home.
11:43Mid work day.
11:44Let's go have a chat.
11:54Maggie.
11:54I see it.
12:16Boy?
12:18That looks like an eyeball.
12:19Yeah.
12:36Whoa.
12:39Ron Stromberger.
12:42What's left of him?
12:51All right, so Ron Stromberger, a person of interest in our double homicide, just up and found himself murdered,
12:56which either makes it a triple homicide or, I don't know, maybe this is an eye for an eye kind
13:00of thing.
13:01No way he could have been involved in the hit on the Hackensons.
13:03Preliminary ME report on Ron came in.
13:05He was tortured and killed roughly 18 hours before.
13:09Right.
13:10Okay, so he smuggled something through the port and Ron's afoul of the people he's working with,
13:15and so they torture him until he gives up Charlie.
13:20No.
13:20We're missing something here.
13:22Yeah, that picture's still pretty blurry, but ERT processed partial prints from Ron's body.
13:26All right, tell me when it spits something out.
13:27Oh, we keep digging into Ron and Charlie.
13:29Let's turn their lives inside out.
13:31What passes illegally through this port?
13:33Drugs, weapons, counterfeit goods.
13:35You know what, Elise?
13:36Let's have a team talk to the CBP supervisor at the port.
13:39Maybe they can help shed some light.
13:42Me and Ron locked horns a few times, but he was good people.
13:45I can't believe he and Charlie are dead.
13:47Well, not just Charlie.
13:48His wife, Mel, was killed, too.
13:50The wife, too?
13:51That's awful.
13:52Help us out.
13:53How's all this work?
13:54Ron and his guys unload the cargo from the ships, get it organized for inspection.
13:59Clear as customs, it's free to leave the port.
14:01Now, it's possible that Ron and Charlie could have made a container go missing before it hit inspection.
14:07It happens in history.
14:09Hey, Odell! Lunch was over an hour ago. Get back to work!
14:14You personally sign off on every container that comes through here?
14:18Special Agent Bell, take a look around.
14:19I got 21,000 cans coming through here on a slow date.
14:23Meanwhile, I lost 20% of my inspectors to federal budget cuts.
14:26There's just simply no way that we can inspect all of them.
14:31He's a jock.
14:34Hey, Jubal. I'm speaking with the supervisor. What's up?
14:37Hey, we got a hit on those parcels ERT pulled from Ron Stromberger's body.
14:40Is the suspect got a criminal record?
14:42Worse. He's a fed. He's the guy you're talking to.
14:45Border Patrol Supervisor Wallencott. You need to bring him in.
14:49Got it.
14:55Cuff him.
14:57What?
14:58Fingerprints are on Ron's body.
15:01Oh, I didn't kill him. I...
15:03Look, I heard about Charlie's murder on New York One this morning.
15:06I was spinning out, so I went to go check in with Ron.
15:09Except when I get there, I find him in that chair, missing an eyeball.
15:12So I...I checked his pulse. That's it.
15:15You know, I...I swear I didn't kill him.
15:19He was ice cold when I got there.
15:21Well, you should have called 911.
15:27I think I need to talk to a lawyer.
15:28Why, because you're involved?
15:30You have every right to talk to a lawyer, but that's gonna slow everything down.
15:33And the killer's gonna walk away.
15:35And it will reduce the value of your cooperation.
15:39I want immunity.
15:40Utility at USA.
15:41All right, we can talk to them, but we can't make any promises.
15:44David, you want to help yourself?
15:45This is your moment.
15:51I've been helping Ron for years.
15:53Letting the odd container slip through without inspection.
15:56What were they smuggling?
15:57I didn't want to know.
15:58Just took my cut, looked the other way, kept it clean.
16:01Well, there's nothing clean about three murders, so what changed this time?
16:04Ron got suspicious, peeked in the container, saw it.
16:07Something.
16:08Got greedy.
16:10Went to go squeeze his clients for even more cash.
16:12They shaked out.
16:14Sure.
16:15Ron told Charlie to drive the container out of the port, stash it someplace while he went back to him.
16:20Must have rubbed him the wrong way.
16:21I...
16:21I warned him.
16:22I did.
16:23Got to push his luck.
16:24Who's the client?
16:26I'm telling you.
16:28I wasn't involved like that.
16:30Only Ron knew.
16:31Okay, what about the container?
16:33Can you ID it?
16:34Sure, but it's long gone.
16:36And only Charlie knew where Ron wanted to hide it.
16:39Don't be so sure.
16:40Let's go.
16:44All right, listen up.
16:45Wallencott says this is the container we are looking for and whatever was inside already got three New Yorkers killed.
16:51We got full cooperation from customs and the Federal Maritime Commission, so let's find it before anyone else dies.
16:56What do we know?
16:56Uh, right.
16:57The container in question was loaded onto the MV Mayguard Messina in Istanbul two weeks ago by a Turkish distributor,
17:03Behrend Exports.
17:04Now, according to the manifest, it was coffee.
17:08Well, I like Turkish brew as much as the next guy, but something tells me this is not about beans.
17:12Well, isn't Java the go-to good for drug traffickers, trying to throw off the scent sniffing dogs?
17:17Well, yeah.
17:17Less vital when the dogs are on the payroll, but...
17:20Uh, tracking the Messina's course, it looks like the container arrived at the port of New York and New Jersey
17:24three days ago.
17:25Okay, what happened next? Can we track its movements out of the port?
17:27There are cameras located throughout the terminals. I am cross-referencing with Charlie's last few shifts.
17:32Here we go.
17:33Yeah?
17:34Once it was offloaded from the ship, Charlie placed it in secondary holding.
17:37Then, two days ago at 12.48 p.m., Charlie exits the port at Essex Avenue driving the container out.
17:43Okay, can we trace it via GPS?
17:45Uh, no, the cab isn't outfitted with ELD tracker and there's no GPS devices on the container.
17:50All right, well, finding a 40-foot shipping container in New York City should not be that difficult.
17:54Somebody prove me right.
17:55Yes, I may have a way if I pull images from the container's big ID numbers like so.
18:01You can cross-reference it against street cams, poll cams, social media posts.
18:05Looks like something's happening.
18:07Yeah, got something. It's a post from a tagger a day ago. Container in the background.
18:11Yeah, I'm geolocating the image. Scrap metal dealer in Brooklyn.
18:15All right, get a team there now.
18:20Chuck said I was here.
18:24First day back. You doing all right?
18:27Isabel asked you to check up on me?
18:29It's not a conspiracy, Maggie. I was gonna do it anyway.
18:34It's tough.
18:35You'll be all right.
18:41Boy.
18:43Got some seals broken.
18:46Okay, whatever they were smuggling's gotta be long gone by now.
19:00All I'm seeing is what was on the manifest.
19:07Who kills three New Yorkers over coffee beans?
19:13Come here.
19:16Move these.
19:30I don't think they were smuggling drugs.
19:32They're transporting someone.
19:35But who?
19:38So ERT obtained saliva samples and prints from the cans found in the container.
19:42We ran the DNA through NDIS. Nothing popped.
19:45Then we tried the Interpol database, and that's where it gets interesting.
19:51Anzor Gary? The Chechen bomb maker?
19:53Legendary bomb maker.
19:55Yeah.
19:55Read notice by Interpol.
19:56He's on their terrorism watch list for ties to multiple groups in Eastern Europe.
20:00Are you saying what I think you're saying?
20:02Someone smuggled a terrorist into New York City and executed anyone who knew about it.
20:14What has Anzor Gary been up to lately?
20:16So, according to Interpol, he specializes in building highly lethal IEDs.
20:21He's suspected in attacks that have killed pro-Russian forces in Chechnya.
20:24He's also linked to transnational organized crime rings operating in Eastern Europe who've used his explosives to blast open bank
20:31vaults.
20:32Interpol lost track of Anzor when he disappeared in Chechnya three years ago.
20:36Rummined was that he was taken to a Russian black site or killed.
20:41And now he's back from the grave.
20:42Well, whoever murdered our victims, they smuggled Anzor here for a reason.
20:46Right. We find him. We find our killer. Can we tie this guy to any known groups operating stateside?
20:50Team's digging in. So far, nothing.
20:52Meaning we don't know who Anzor's working with or what they could possibly want on U.S. soil.
20:56Well, whatever it is, we won't like it.
20:58You know what? Let's have our agents press their CIs, see if they've heard any whispers.
21:02I know someone who might be able to help.
21:05Yeah?
21:05But he's not going to be happy to see us.
21:08Us?
21:21Hey, maybe you can help us. I'm looking for an anniversary gift for my lovely wife.
21:27You've come to the right place.
21:30Is there anything particular to you?
21:32Well, you know what? I'm going to let her tell you.
21:38Do you have any of your marquee cut garnet pendants?
21:42The way they catch the light is so beautiful.
21:45Unfortunately, we've not had Shippenton quite a while.
21:50You do not want to disappoint my wife. Trust me.
21:56Yeah, well, I have some other pieces in the private showroom you might be interested in if you just join
22:03me.
22:05Hmm.
22:12It's been a while, Ruslan.
22:17When you took out Alexia and his psychos, you told me I was dumb.
22:21My debt has been paid.
22:23Well, CI agreements may conclude, but relationships never end.
22:30Anzor Gary is here, in New York.
22:34Impossible.
22:35We have his DNA.
22:37There's no doubt.
22:39We need your help.
22:40Do you have any idea where Anzor could be hiding?
22:44No.
22:46Whatever operation he's involved with it is quiet. I haven't heard a thing.
22:51We believe the people that Anzor's working with have already murdered three New Yorkers.
22:59Garajny, 2023.
23:02Anzor set off an IED made out of TATP.
23:06Took out a building while attacking a pro-Russian convoy.
23:1127 civilians dead.
23:13You'll have a lot more death on your hands if you don't catch him.
23:16Then give us something to work with.
23:19It's not my world anymore, Agent Castillo.
23:25Get out of my shop.
23:34All right, folks. So, uh, Isabelle CI was a bust.
23:36But he did mention that Anzor had used TATP as an explosive material.
23:41What is that again?
23:42Uh, T-A-T-P, a.k.a. Mother of Satan, favored by terrorists, because it could be made from
23:47everyday chemicals.
23:48Right, so Anzor could manufacture it using off-the-shelf ingredients.
23:51Yeah, but he would need a lot of hydrogen peroxide. That's one of the active ingredients.
23:55But if he is buying in bulk, it would pop up on our radar. We would be aware.
23:59Which is why I'm looking into hydrogen peroxide manufacturers.
24:02Okay, great. We're thinking, uh, some bulk order, some wholesale purchase, yep.
24:06Yeah, you could do that, or buy the whole damn company.
24:09Mm-hmm.
24:09Look at this. New Jersey-based chemical manufacturer bought out of bankruptcy two months ago by an offshore firm, Crown
24:15Chemicals.
24:16Crown Chemicals.
24:17Uh, hey, Homeland, can you check if Crown Chemicals comes up in connection to any Eastern European organized crime ring?
24:22According to bankruptcy documents, one of the assets purchased was a large stock of hydrogen peroxide.
24:28It's in a warehouse in Bayonne.
24:29Uh, okay, let's coordinate with our Newark office, get our agents and SWAT down there to investigate.
24:35Sniper on Overwatch hasn't seen any movement inside.
24:38There's a lot of chemicals in there.
24:44Breach it.
24:52Whoa.
24:57Whoa!
24:59Whoa!
25:01What does it do?
25:06Whoa!
25:11Oh!
25:13Oh, God!
25:15Oh, God.
25:16Oh.
25:17Oh, God.
25:18Oh, God.
25:20Oh, God.
25:22And that one's third 101.
25:23FBI, get up on your feet.
25:25Oh, God.
25:30Andrew, Gary, keep those hands so we can see them.
25:32No, no, no. You do not understand.
25:34They forced me. They made me do it.
25:46You have to understand, I never wanted to make bumps.
25:49Says the man responsible for the deaths of 27 civilians.
25:54The blood on my hands is a stain I can never wash away.
25:57Three years ago, I was abducted from my home by Chechen separatists.
26:01They knew what I was capable of.
26:03They forced me to build IEDs to use against pro-Russian forces in Chechnya.
26:09Well, you're a long way from Chechnya, so how'd you get out?
26:12When the Chechens needed more funds for their cause,
26:15they sold me to Houthi fighters.
26:19Of rebels in Yemen?
26:20I refused to work with men. They were ruthless, cruel men.
26:24They beat me, but that only strengthened my resolve
26:28until they threatened to kill my wife and son.
26:32I'm sorry, but I did not want to do what they forced me to do.
26:38You're telling me the Houthis smuggled you into the United States?
26:41Yes, Agent Scala, the Houthis are here, planning an attack.
26:45They blame you, America, for the deaths in their country.
26:50People will die.
26:51The Houthis are on the ground here? I thought they were pirates in the Red Sea.
26:54Well, they're insurgents waging civil war against the Yemeni government.
26:57The U.S. is unofficially at war with them.
27:01Wait, where are you going?
27:02If there's any truth to what he said, I gotta make a call.
27:06Where's the attack happening? What's the intended target?
27:09They never said, but they needed bombs.
27:12They made me build two shaped charges, 50 pounds each.
27:17Small enough to fit in a backpack.
27:18Backpack bombs means they could be headed anywhere in the city.
27:22They're carrying enough explosive power to blow up an entire city block.
27:26I didn't want anything to do with this. You must believe me.
27:30Okay, if what you say is true, Anzor, you won't be held responsible,
27:33but we need to know who is behind this attack so we can stop them.
27:37He never told me his name.
27:40I only heard his men refer to him as Al-Sakar.
27:45Arabic for the Falconer.
27:50Thank you, Nikki, for coming down.
27:52Sure, New York Station's always happy to help our friends, the FBI.
27:56So, Falconer is stateside, huh?
27:57Yeah, what can you tell us about him?
27:59His real name is Hamza al-Haddad.
28:02He's a senior commander with the Houthis.
28:05He needs a unit that's been firing anti-ship missiles into the Red Sea for months.
28:10Al-Haddad is violent. He shows no mercy.
28:12All right, so he's tough on his own turf, but what about an away game?
28:15You have the resources to pull off an op here?
28:17And then some.
28:18Yeah.
28:19CIA's CT Mission Center has tracked intel that international shipping firms
28:23have been sending the Houthis $180 million a month in protection.
28:27It's all under the table, of course.
28:29They make sure their shipments aren't attacked while transiting the Red Sea.
28:34If Al-Haddad is on the ground in New York, you've got your work cut out for you.
28:39Do you have any idea about his targets?
28:42Best guess he'll go with what he knows.
28:44His container ship at the ports?
28:46Maybe cruise ship terminal?
28:48Well, we'll dig in.
28:49Wait, Jubal.
28:50Yeah.
28:51Look.
28:55It's Fleet Week.
28:56We just brought the perfect target straight to him.
29:10Everybody listen up.
29:11I just got off with the Pentagon.
29:13We believe Al-Haddad and his Houthi militants are targeting Fleet Week.
29:17Currently, we have eight U.S. Navy ships docked at Pierce throughout this city for visitation by the public.
29:23This is Nikki Raynard from the State Department.
29:26She would be lending a hand.
29:27Don't worry, folks.
29:27I won't slow you down.
29:28Okay.
29:28So, NYPD, let's start evacuating civilians from those areas.
29:33Kelly, Marnie, we need to scrub every street cam from Lower Manhattan.
29:36Let's see if we can get a fix on Al-Haddad.
29:38At least look for some kind of connection between Al-Haddad and these ships.
29:41If we can figure out what his target is, I think we'll have a finding chance, right?
29:45How vulnerable are these ships?
29:47I mean, the Navy has security checks, no bag policies, but we know these bombs are compact, right?
29:53So...
29:53Well, Al-Haddad smuggled a Chechen bomb maker into this country.
29:56He can get around a bag policy.
29:58We have a target-rich environment.
30:00He could take out multiple ships.
30:02Okay.
30:02So we need to get agents to each one of these Fleet Week locations, yeah?
30:05No.
30:06No.
30:06It's more personal than that.
30:07The USS Maldonado, a guided missile destroyer, was deployed last year in an anti-Houthi operation.
30:14The Navy was trying to protect commercial shipping.
30:17The Maldonado was in the Red Sea.
30:19It had an incident during deployment.
30:21The Maldonado launched a strike against a suspected Houthi missile site.
30:25It had bad intel.
30:27The strike killed 20 civilians, including Al-Haddad's wife and daughter.
30:34Oh, okay.
30:34Okay.
30:35All right.
30:35This is a revenge mission.
30:39How many sailors aboard the Maldonado?
30:41Yeah.
30:41Full complement.
30:42Over 300.
30:43Where is it docked now?
30:44Pier 124, out near the Throgs Neck Bridge in the Bronx.
30:47Isabelle, I need to update my team.
30:49I'll walk you up.
30:50Okay.
30:50We need to spool up a helicopter.
30:52I want a team on the Maldonado.
30:53If there's a bomb already aboard that ship, I want to find it!
31:20Captain Panagreen.
31:21Touch agents Rommels and Skola.
31:22Thanks for coming aboard.
31:24Is this the device?
31:25FBI bomb tech.
31:26This is a handheld explosive detector that will collect trace amounts of TATP.
31:29Understood.
31:29Where are we at?
31:30Our ship's clear of civilians.
31:31I've got every sailor sweeping the ship as we speak.
31:33Nothing to report yet.
31:34Your crew noticed anything suspicious on today's tours?
31:37It's fleet week.
31:38Number of tourists, families passing through.
31:40It'd be easy to slip away if you knew what you were doing.
31:42How much of the ship did you take the public through?
31:44Main deck, the bridge where we're standing, never the lower levels.
31:46We're still going to sweep the entire thing.
31:48If there are bombs on board, we're going to find them.
31:52Have you heard from me in Skola yet?
31:53They're in mid-sweep, nothing yet.
31:54It's as if the bombs are even on board.
31:56Jubal got a report of shots fired off of 127th Street out in Queens, right on the waterfront.
32:01All right, yeah, put up a map.
32:05It's a clear line of sight across the East River to Pier 124 in the Bronx.
32:08That's where the USS Maldonado's docked.
32:11That's what?
32:12Two miles as the crow flies.
32:14Or a drone.
32:16Yeah.
32:18It's worth checking out.
32:19Get Maggie and OA there now.
32:29FBI!
32:30Need a backup?
32:31So I'll be here in a minute.
32:32What happened?
32:35My partner tried to sight him before leaving me parking near the water.
32:39Out of nowhere, he pulled the heavy artillery and started blasting.
32:44We believe that these men have control over two bombs.
32:47Jesus, marry him, Joseph.
32:48Okay, we need to move fast.
32:49Can you lay down some press of fire for us?
32:51Hey, FBI want some glory.
32:53Let's help him out and pin these guys down.
32:57Go!
33:16I got a Glock 22 with a switch.
33:20Patkinson's killer.
33:21Any of these guys all Hadad?
33:23No.
33:24Five shooters down.
33:25Hadad's not here.
33:27Someone else. Let's go.
33:39Are those the bombs?
33:41They were.
33:45OA?
33:47They're on the drones.
33:55They're on the drones.
34:02Captain.
34:03We just got word that two drones have launched from the opposite side of the East River and are likely
34:07targeting this ship.
34:08Sound general quarters, spin up our radar and activate the CIC.
34:10Aye.
34:12General quarters, general quarters.
34:14Captain confirmed.
34:15Two birds in the air bearing 357 degrees.
34:17Range 3400 meters, closing fast.
34:20So, what's the plan here, Captain?
34:23Our Aegis combat system is offline.
34:25Half the crew is on shore leave.
34:27Our closed-in weapons system isn't traveling with a full loadout.
34:30Wait, are you telling me that a warship the size of a building doesn't have a way to combat a
34:34drone attack?
34:35We shouldn't need weapons systems in New York Harbor.
34:38Do we need to evacuate the remaining sailors on board?
34:40This is a US naval warship, Agent Ramos.
34:42We don't evacuate.
34:45This is the Church Neo 150, a kamikaze attack drone.
34:48Its dimensions match the transport cases that Maggie and OA found on the beach.
34:51Okay, so we got two of these in the air right now.
34:53Each carrying a 50-pound bomb.
34:55How long till impact?
34:56FAA is tracking the drones based on their speed.
34:59A little over four minutes.
35:00Two 50-pound bombs gonna do a lot of damage to that destroyer.
35:03Can we just shoot them down?
35:04No.
35:05No, the FBI doesn't have that kind of anti-drone technology,
35:07and we are not shooting bombs out of the sky above New York City.
35:10Hey, the drones aren't autonomous, which means they're being piloted.
35:13Oh, okay.
35:14So, so odds are...
35:15Ahadad's in control.
35:16Can we piggyback the signal?
35:18Get control of the drones from here?
35:19Less than four minutes.
35:20I'll try.
35:21Please do.
35:21Hey, Maggie OA, listen up.
35:23We believe Ahadad has the controls.
35:25You need to find him and secure that controller.
35:27Copy that.
35:28He could be anywhere.
35:29No.
35:31No, I think he'd want a front row seat to watch that ship go down that killed his wife and
35:34daughter.
35:39Did you hear that?
35:41Yeah.
35:45Maybe the jock can trace it.
35:47It's a Motorola R7.
35:49Hey, Ian, we can trace that, right?
35:51Theoretically, but it has to be in use.
35:52Less than three minutes to impact.
35:54Okay.
35:55Maggie OA.
35:56We might be able to reverse trace the signal from the radio, but it needs to be transmitting.
36:06Hamza al-Hadad.
36:07This is Special Agent Maggie Bell.
36:09We know what you're trying to do.
36:11This attack isn't gonna make everything right.
36:17We're running out of time.
36:19Hamza.
36:21I know you can hear me.
36:24Hamza.
36:26Come on, talk to me.
36:27I want to help you.
36:29You cannot understand.
36:34You got a hit?
36:34Okay, okay.
36:35Maggie, keep them talking.
36:37Tell me why.
36:38Why can't I understand?
36:40We got two minutes to impact.
36:43You can talk to me.
36:45Please.
36:47My wife was killed.
36:48My daughter was killed.
36:49And for what?
36:50Nothing.
36:52That ship killed them.
36:55They had no part in this fight.
36:57Hamza.
36:58I'm sorry for what happened to your family.
37:01But killing innocent sailors isn't gonna bring them back.
37:06Those sailors were not innocent.
37:09Would your wife want this?
37:12These murders make her proud?
37:14She was more forgiving than me.
37:16Hamza, don't do this.
37:20Ian, please tell me you got a location.
37:22No, not enough for a trace.
37:25You heard that, right?
37:27He was talking over some machine.
37:30Over there.
37:31Let's try.
37:32Come on.
37:341.30 to impact.
37:41This is the clearest sight line.
37:43He's gotta be around here.
37:44Down there on the beach.
37:49Hamza, it's over.
37:51Drop the controller.
37:52You cannot stop this.
37:54One minute.
37:58Put it down now!
38:00Jesus.
38:0150 seconds, what's going on?
38:03Jubal, we have one of the controllers.
38:05Okay, how did she disable?
38:07An override code.
38:08I thought that had to have programmed it when he armed the drones.
38:12Boy, I don't know how to disable this.
38:13They're locked on.
38:14It's too late.
38:16They will pay for what they did to my family.
38:21T-minus 30 seconds.
38:23Race.
38:26Okay, you gotta try.
38:29What is the code?
38:31Okay, I'm jamming the drone signal.
38:32Try to take control.
38:36You got it?
38:41You got ten seconds.
38:47Five seconds.
38:49Okay, I got one.
39:01No.
39:09Ava, Scola, are you okay?
39:13Yeah, yeah.
39:14A little shook up.
39:14But I think we're all good here.
39:27Great work, everyone.
39:40You said that I wouldn't understand what's fueling you.
39:43I know grief.
39:46And I know anger.
39:48And believe me when I say I know the emptiness you feel inside.
39:52You know nothing.
40:02Cut.
40:05Let's go on Eva on their way back to 26th Fed.
40:08No one was hurt. They're okay.
40:10Good.
40:13What about you?
40:19He thought that revenge would fill the hole in him.
40:27Nothing's gonna make that go away.
40:35I realized something today.
40:40I think I've been trying to push past the same way I did with my husband.
40:48And I can't.
40:53I'm not okay.
40:57Stefano killed my baby sister.
40:59And I tried to tell myself that it's not my fault.
41:05But I had to watch my parents...
41:09Sob at Aaron's funeral.
41:14I'm the reason they're in pain.
41:17And I try to take it day by day.
41:21It's like I'm not even here anymore.
41:26You know, like I'm in this nightmare that I can't wake up from.
41:34I'm never gonna be the woman that I was before.
41:41I don't know who I am now, so how do I look my team in their eyes and say,
41:49you can rely on me?
41:52How?
41:56I've got to figure this out, Isabel.
41:58Because the truth is, this job is the only thing I have left.
42:10Maggie.
42:11We've got you.
42:13We're gonna get you through this.
42:16This is where you're meant to be.
42:48You know, this is where you're meant to be.
43:01It was the lane that happened.
43:01Who's the Pontiacal Dame?
43:01Who's the beast Sixers of the One artists in their lives?
43:01If you think in many times you change yourself.
43:01This is the 19th is a quest.
43:01I've got you ready for one thing,
