00:00I
00:48No!
00:49Oh my god!
00:50No, no, no, no!
00:51No, no, no!
00:52Enough!
00:53Just behave!
00:56Ah!
00:57Ah!
00:57Ah!
00:58Ah!
00:58Ah!
00:59Oh my god!
01:01Ow! What the hell, Alice?
01:04Dammit, Josh! Stay in character!
01:06Well, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to get so rough. Is my nose bleeding?
01:09No, it is not bleeding.
01:10Dammit, it's definitely going to bruise. I have to present to clients on Monday.
01:13This was a stupid idea.
01:14No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I've got this. Let me try again.
01:19I'm going to ravage you.
01:22Gross.
01:23Well, I'm sorry.
01:24Do not apologize.
01:30I'm from Susan's house. Call 911.
01:32Josh, no. Let the cops handle it.
01:34Just stay here, okay?
01:46Susan?
01:48Susan?
01:51Are you all right?
02:00If there's anybody in here, the cops are on the way.
02:27Susan Granwell.
02:28Dead in the kitchen.
02:29Must have been a pretty big donor for the mayor to ask you all to step in.
02:33They were old friends. What do we know?
02:35Our neighbors heard a commotion around 11 p.m.
02:37One of them came to check on Susan.
02:39Found her bleeding out on the ground. Already deceased.
02:41Beliminary cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head.
02:44Looks like she got hit with that cast iron.
02:46Okay, we'll have it sent to the lab before they're processing.
02:48Whose firearm is that?
02:49Registered to the victim.
02:51But CSU didn't recover any shell casings.
02:53So she wasn't able to fire it off before she got hit?
02:55That skillet's a weapon of opportunity, so it's not premeditated murder.
02:59What a robbery gone wrong. She confronted them with a gun.
03:02They retaliated by grabbing a cast iron.
03:04Maybe. Nice house. Lots of valuables.
03:07Doesn't feel like a break-in.
03:08Only disturbance was in here.
03:10Windows and doors were intact. Alarm didn't go.
03:12Whoever did this either had access to the house or she let them in.
03:17Looks like a crime of passion.
03:19I have a feeling Susan Granwell knew her killer.
03:22All right, folks.
03:23Last night, Susan Granwell was attacked and killed in her home.
03:26A $12 million historically preserved home in Fieldston.
03:30Susan was a major donor and confidant of the mayor.
03:34He would like her killer brought to justice immediately.
03:37Right. Have we notified the family yet?
03:39No. Her son Bobby is in Tokyo with his grandparents.
03:41And because of the time change, we haven't been able to reach them.
03:44But by the time I have to look this boy in the eyes and tell him his mother is gone,
03:47I would like to have some real answers for him.
03:49Our team's initial assessment was that this looks like a crime of passion.
03:53So let's talk about Susan Granwell and anyone in her life who could have snapped and killed her.
03:57Right. Well, Susan grew up in Upper East Side Socialite.
04:00Old money. Now she's a hotelier.
04:02By way of marriage, her late husband Alex founded a chain of boutique hotels called the Granwell Hotels.
04:06They have locations across the country.
04:08Yes, Sam and I stayed at a Granwell once. They had a pillow menu.
04:10That's not all they got.
04:12Turns out Granwell Hotels is knee-deep in a serious labor dispute.
04:15Maintenance and hospitality workers have been on strike the past three months with no end in sight.
04:21They claim Susan's trying to starve them out.
04:23The protests have been peaceful, but it's getting nasty.
04:26Nasty enough to attack Susan in her own home?
04:28She thought so.
04:29Susan filed a police report last week after a brick was thrown through her front window.
04:33She blamed her disgruntled employees, but the cops weren't able to ID a suspect.
04:37So the brick was to scare her into returning to the negotiating table, and that didn't work.
04:41Maybe they amped up the intimidation, and it got out of hand.
04:45Who's running this union?
04:46That would be Jeremy Payton, career labor organizer known for running campaigns of intimidation he has threatened multiple times to
04:53burn down Granwell properties.
04:55Not the time to catch flies with honey, huh?
04:57Definitely not.
04:59Granwell sent their goons to rough me up, to silence me.
05:03We are not scared of you.
05:05You hear that, Susan?
05:07You should be scared of us!
05:09Well, he might be a charmer, but if it walks like a motive and talks like a motive...
05:12Well, forensics might back it up.
05:14Yeah?
05:15Report from the crime scene just landed, and Jeremy's fingerprints were found all over it.
05:19Low lipid oxidation in the residue suggests his prints were recent.
05:22What about the murder weapon?
05:24Wiped clean, no fingerprints there.
05:25Well, nice try, Jeremy.
05:26The man was there.
05:28Let's bring him in.
05:32Man, well, man, well, you can't hide!
05:35We can see your breathing inside!
05:37Man, well, man, well, you can't hide!
05:40We can see your breathing inside!
05:41Man, go!
05:42He's scared!
05:42Nobody's killed!
05:43Get out of here!
05:46We got scared!
05:48Scared!
05:49Scared!
05:50Excuse me, FBI.
05:51Excuse me.
05:52He's a little man, we can't hide!
05:54Jeremy Payton!
05:55How you doing, FBI?
05:56Why don't we take the temperature down a little bit?
05:58Law enforcement protecting the corporate fat cats again!
06:02Why am I not surprised?
06:04No, no, that's not what's happening here, okay?
06:07Look, Mr. Payton, we have a few questions for you, so why don't you come with us?
06:13Distracting a federal agent is a crime, fellas.
06:15So move.
06:16Now.
06:17Oh, you don't tell them what to do, sweetheart.
06:20Sweetheart?
06:21Okay, yeah, no, that's not gonna work.
06:23Let's go.
06:23You two, step aside or you're coming.
06:25Let's go.
06:25Hands behind your back.
06:26See?
06:26You see what they're doing to us?
06:28Don't let these jackboots take away your voices!
06:31You didn't stop!
06:34You didn't stop!
06:35You didn't stop!
06:37You didn't stop!
06:37You didn't stop!
06:38You hear that, Susan?
06:39You should be scared!
06:44The moment I saw you guys, I knew that this was what it was about.
06:48That's not what you were screaming at your union brethren about.
06:50You wanted them to believe that we were there to shut down your picket.
06:53I saw an opportunity to keep my people angry, energized, and I took it.
06:59Sure, it was theater, but so is this.
07:02Nothing I said on that video is real.
07:04So Granwell Hotels never sent you their people to beat you up?
07:07Not physically, but, you know, they've been beating us down for long enough.
07:11Jeremy, please, stop.
07:13All right, that's enough.
07:16Did you fake these injuries?
07:17File a false police report, blaming Susan Granwell's private security?
07:21You gotta give them an enemy to keep them motivated, so you had a couple of my boys rough me
07:26up, blamed it all on management.
07:29Sounds like a felony.
07:30Well, it worked.
07:32Momentum's on our side now.
07:34So if Susan Granwell is losing, why'd you pay her a visit?
07:37Your fingerprints, they're all over Susan's home.
07:41Doorknobs, kitchen counters.
07:44Question is, are we gonna find them on Susan's body?
07:47Well, hold up her body.
07:49You killed her.
07:50What? I...
07:50Beat her to death and then fled, did you not?
07:52What? What are you talking about?
07:54No, no, no, no, no.
07:55I did...
07:57What? No.
07:58No, no, no.
07:59Susie.
08:00This is my Susie.
08:02You're Susie.
08:03I didn't do this.
08:05I would never.
08:05I mean, we couldn't come out publicly, but we were in love.
08:08This woman was your sworn enemy.
08:10You trash-talked her daily.
08:12For sure.
08:14From the second we met at negotiations, I felt a spark.
08:17We were the same.
08:19We were stubborn.
08:20We wanted big things, you know?
08:22We just chose different paths.
08:24That didn't stop the Bates from bringing us together.
08:27It's a good story, but, you know, you've also proven that you're a good actor.
08:31It's not acting.
08:32Prove it.
08:37I proposed.
08:38How about that?
08:40With my man's heirloom ring.
08:43I can check the pics on my cell phone.
08:45There's proof there.
08:46I didn't do this.
08:49I...
08:55Hey, take a look at that.
08:58Happy family.
08:59Doesn't mean he's innocent, though.
09:01No, but his alibi does.
09:02The jock confirmed via security cams that Jeremy was at the union office at the time of the murder.
09:07Well, he's also claiming that the two of them were engaged, so that would explain his fingerprints all over Susan's
09:12house.
09:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that engagement ring, that seems to be missing.
09:16Hmm.
09:16So, what, you're saying that this could be a robbery after all, and Susan was killed over a ring?
09:20It's possible, right?
09:22Oh, yeah.
09:23I mean, I looked into vintage rings like this for Nina.
09:25I mean, rock like that from the 20s, good clarity.
09:29Thing would go for $750,000 easy.
09:32Uh, thanks, Elise.
09:33Well, you win, but by Price is Right rules, Jeremy's insurance policy puts the ring's value at $800,000.
09:39Okay, yeah, someone might kill over that.
09:41Yeah, for sure.
09:42Okay, but Jeremy said that only the people in this photo knew about the engagement.
09:47Well, that's not entirely true.
09:49Someone took this picture.
09:52All right, so according to Jeremy Payton, Bobby's private math tutor took this photo, which means, if true, this tutor
09:58is the only other person we know knew our victim had an $800,000 ring.
10:03Which is now missing.
10:03Right, and Jeremy also said the tutor had a key to Susan's home, so that is means.
10:08That is opportunity, and that's me hoping you figure out who this tutor is.
10:12Lucas Williams, 18, lives in Corona with his dad, Frank, and younger sister, Faith.
10:18Okay, Ian, you want to get up on his phone?
10:19On it.
10:20Any criminal history?
10:21Not even a parking ticket.
10:22He's an impressive kid.
10:23He was up for the Miller-Dyer Prize in high school computing last year.
10:27He's an honor student at the Augusta School in Manhattan.
10:29Yeah, Corona kid at a private fancy school uptown.
10:32Full ride.
10:33Need-based scholarship.
10:34Looks like Dad's been unemployed for a couple years.
10:36Maybe he was sick of being the poor kid at the country club school.
10:38Right, saw an opportunity for a payday, but then Susan caught him, and I mean, yeah, maybe.
10:43Could be my bias because he's my son's age, but I'm having a hard time believing this kid is our
10:47killer.
10:48We need to talk to him.
10:48How are we doing, Ian?
10:49His phone is dark, not just off.
10:51Lucas must have taken out the battery.
10:53He's savvy.
10:54Oh, so he could be trying to not be found.
10:57Hey, Augusta's school counselor said Lucas didn't show up today.
10:59And his dad isn't answering.
11:02All right, let's get a team to Lucas Williams' house.
11:09Straight ahead.
11:12It's open.
11:37Bedroom's clear.
11:38Boy, I got a body.
11:42It's Lucas?
11:43It's Frank Williams.
11:46You think Lucas did all this?
11:48Killed his father?
11:49If he did, it's the second murder of the day.
11:59Hey.
12:00Do we have any bolo hits on Lucas Williams yet?
12:01Uh, no, no.
12:02But Elise is working on bringing his sister, Faith, in.
12:05See if she knows what her brother's up to.
12:07Someone has to.
12:08I'm 18, no criminal record, full ride at a grade school.
12:11I mean, seemingly happy family.
12:13Maybe I get killing Granwell for the ring.
12:16Yeah, I don't know.
12:17Why does a kid like this go that far for cash?
12:20Then go kill his father.
12:21Wait.
12:21Ian just sent an Emmy prelim over, and it puts Frank's time of death at approximately 28 hours ago.
12:27Okay, meaning Lucas's father was killed before Susan Granwell.
12:30Maybe Lucas, he kills his dad, and then he, uh, he needs cash to go on the run.
12:35It's a theory.
12:36I don't know.
12:36There's just something big we're missing here.
12:39Hey, did you track down the sister?
12:40Not exactly.
12:41Spoke to Faith's school admin.
12:43She didn't come in today.
12:44We pinged her phone to the family home.
12:45She left it behind.
12:46You're saying Faith Williams appears to be missing.
12:49All right, put out an AMR alert.
12:51Look, we don't know if Faith is an accomplice or a hostage yet, but if she's with Lucas, she's in
12:55danger.
12:55Okay, we got a bullet hit on Lucas.
12:57NYPD foot patrol lost him on West Broadway and Prince.
13:01A lot of high-end consignment stores down there.
13:03Grab Maggie, no way.
13:05We're on it.
13:08Skoll and Eva, check the other two shops and assign to Lucas.
13:10Okay.
13:12Excuse me, FBI.
13:15We're looking for this kid.
13:16He might have been with his sister.
13:17Have you seen him?
13:18Surely have, but he was alone.
13:20Had a gorgeous 20s vintage piece.
13:22Incredible setting.
13:24The clarity on it?
13:25But he couldn't explain the provenance.
13:27I don't deal with creatively sourced items, if you catch my drift.
13:31No, we get it.
13:32You operate above board.
13:33So how did the conversation end?
13:35I told him he'd have better luck at the tawdry pawn shop down the street.
13:39You just missed it.
13:50Maggie, there he is.
13:52Got him.
13:55He made us.
14:02In pursuit of our suspect heading south on Mercer, Port Spring.
14:20Lucas, you're under arrest for the murder of Susan Grandwell and Frank Williams.
14:25Got the ring.
14:26Please don't do this.
14:27They took my sister.
14:27I was just trying to save her.
14:28They're going to kill her.
14:31Come on.
14:32No, no, please.
14:33Don't do this.
14:34They're going to kill her.
14:39Who took your sister?
14:41I don't know who they are, but I stole from them and they know and they're going to kill her.
14:44Okay, stop.
14:44Back up.
14:45What'd you steal?
14:46Okay, there's this crypto phishing scam.
14:49I saw it on Reddit.
14:50The idea is you send fake transfer links to a ton of people.
14:55Like, click here to secure your crypto account sort of thing.
14:58And if someone clicks on one, then all the crypto from their digital wallet gets drained into yours.
15:04What are you doing, man?
15:05You're a bright kid.
15:06You got a scholarship.
15:07This was not a smart choice.
15:09This is my fault, okay?
15:09I know.
15:12The phishing scam was anonymous.
15:14I don't know how they found me.
15:16Well, they did.
15:16So why would you do this?
15:17I was desperate.
15:22My dad got laid off a couple years ago.
15:25He hasn't been able to find work since.
15:26We were going to lose our house.
15:29Our heat kept getting shut off.
15:30We needed help.
15:31All right, well, how much help does he need?
15:33Because it must have been a lot for these people to come after your family.
15:36I got a couple small bites, you know, a hundred bucks here or there.
15:40But then I got one big hit.
15:42How much?
15:45$315,000 in Bitcoin.
15:47I paid off a mortgage, caught up on all the bills.
15:50I still have like $17,000 left over.
15:52Okay, okay.
15:52I thought it was saving us.
15:53Yeah, well, okay.
15:54So whoever you stole from, they found you?
15:59When I got home from school yesterday, my sister was gone and my dad.
16:06I know.
16:07They left a phone in my dad's hand and it had a text message.
16:11It said I had to transfer the Bitcoin that I stole into their wallet by 5 p.m. today
16:15or they were going to kill my sister.
16:18Your sister gets kidnapped by these unknown people you robbed
16:21and you didn't have enough money left over to pay her back.
16:24So that's why you went to Susan Graywell's.
16:26I remember that I had a key.
16:28Right.
16:29Easy access to a house full of valuables and stealing work once.
16:31But why did you kill Susan?
16:33She wasn't supposed to be home, okay?
16:36I was just going to grab stuff that she wouldn't miss.
16:40But she was there and I tried to sneak out but it was dark
16:44and I tripped and she found me and she had a gun.
16:47All I could think is she's going to shoot me
16:49and then my sister is going to die.
16:53So I panicked.
16:56I panicked and I hit her.
16:58You killed her.
16:59I didn't mean to.
17:02I didn't.
17:03You still took the ring?
17:08Yes.
17:09To save my sister.
17:14Please.
17:17You've got to find her.
17:22Please.
17:28All right, folks, listen up.
17:31This is Faith Williams, Lucas's 15-year-old sister.
17:34And if we believe his story, Faith is in real danger.
17:36Can we confirm she's being held for ransom?
17:38We found the burner phone in Lucas's bag.
17:39There was a ransom text.
17:41We should believe this is real.
17:44Okay, so Lucas Williams, we know who you are.
17:46We know what you did.
17:47Send the money you stole to the following wallet address
17:49by 5 p.m. tomorrow
17:51or your sister dies, right?
17:53That QR code does correspond to a Bitcoin wallet.
17:55Well, that only gives us a few hours
17:57to find these kidnappers and save this girl.
17:59I'm guessing we cannot track the phone
18:00that sent the ransom text.
18:01Correct.
18:02Kidnappers must be using another burner.
18:04Right.
18:04All right, so let's just respond to the message.
18:07Just open up the line of communication, right?
18:09Start the negotiations.
18:11And get proof of life.
18:12That's what we're looking for here.
18:13Let's see if we can smoke these guys out.
18:16What?
18:17No luck?
18:17The phone's off or they're in a spot with no signal.
18:20Either way, they won't see our message
18:21until their phone's back online.
18:22Right, okay.
18:22So what about the wallet address?
18:24Can we track that?
18:25Tried, but it's brand new.
18:26No activity to exploit.
18:27But I can track the wallet Lucas initially robbed.
18:30I am assuming they're owned by the same person.
18:32So if I can trace that wallet's IP address,
18:36cross-reference it with other public data.
18:38Bingo, the wallet Lucas phished
18:41is affiliated with an exchange account
18:43registered to a Novarin Systems.
18:45Novarin Systems, what kind of company is that?
18:47Officially IT consulting,
18:48but according to an ongoing RICO investigation,
18:51Novarin Systems is also a suspected front
18:53for the New York clan of Bratva.
18:56You're kidding me.
18:58This kid accidentally stole from the Russian mob.
19:03In an absolutely banner stroke of bad luck,
19:0518-year-old Lucas Williams unknowingly stole $315,000
19:08from Bratva, the Russian mob.
19:12How did they even know Lucas was stealing from them?
19:14Yeah, that's snagging to me too.
19:16We're just getting into it, so.
19:17We just arrested the boss of the New York clan
19:19six months ago.
19:20Do we know who is in charge now?
19:21Uh, yeah.
19:22Uh, Elise, how we doing all night?
19:23Uh, yeah.
19:24Organized crime believe the new head
19:26of the New York clan of Bratva to be this man.
19:2954 years old.
19:31Andre Ovechkin.
19:33How long has he been in New York?
19:35Immigration says three months.
19:36I'm guessing you've heard of him?
19:38You could say that.
19:42All right, so, um...
19:45You remember my old man used to work
19:46for the State Department, right?
19:48Right.
19:49So, he was stationed in Moscow
19:51for a couple of years when I was 12.
19:52I went to the international school over there.
19:54You want to take a wild guess
19:55who my best friend was.
19:58Oh.
20:00You were only in Moscow for two years.
20:03Yeah, yeah, but, you know,
20:04Andre was, you know,
20:07he was like a brother.
20:08Even after my family moved back to the States,
20:11you know, we talked as much as we could.
20:13We had a whole plan.
20:14You know, he was going to move here.
20:15He was going to stay with me.
20:16We were going to open up a private investigator business.
20:20You know, get answers for people left behind in the system.
20:24I smuggled a VHS tape of Chinatown into Moscow,
20:28and we used to watch it all the time.
20:31I kind of had a thing for 70s noir.
20:34You're still in contact with him?
20:36No.
20:36I haven't talked to him since I was 20.
20:39The Soviet Union collapsed.
20:41You know, it was chaos.
20:43He went dark.
20:44Eventually, I found out he had joined Pratva to survive.
20:47But his name hasn't popped up in years.
20:49I figured, you know,
20:51he had been killed with the trajectory he was on.
20:54It seems he got his stars instead.
20:57Well, his tenure as boss will be short-lived.
21:00I want a full-scale raid on his base of operations.
21:03We'll force his hand to give up the girl.
21:06Respectfully, obviously,
21:08Bratva is good for this,
21:09but with Andrei,
21:11if they send him here from Moscow,
21:13he means something to the organization
21:15and the powers that be are watching,
21:17and he knows that.
21:17All the more reason for him to make a statement.
21:19No one steals from Bratva
21:21on Andrei Ovechkin's watch.
21:23I don't know.
21:23My gut is just telling me
21:24that's not how he'd handle this.
21:27You know, it's sloppy,
21:27and he is anything but sloppy.
21:31Jubal, an innocent girl's life is on the line here.
21:34We've got to have more than just your gut.
21:38Are you sure you can be objective here?
21:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:42No, no, no, no, no.
21:43My historical knowledge of Andrei
21:45isn't a blind spot.
21:46If anything, it's an asset.
21:49Okay.
21:51How do you feel about paying
21:52an old friend to visit?
22:05Hi, I'm here to speak with Andrei.
22:09He's not taking visitors.
22:32That's not how we're treated in France, is it, Mita?
22:40Jubal, Valentine.
22:42All right.
22:44Oh, I should say,
22:45assistant special agent in charge, hmm?
22:48Oh, okay.
22:49Yeah.
22:49So you look me up.
22:50I'd be surprised if you'd recognize me that fast.
22:54Yeah, Russian accent is also memorable.
22:57Okay.
22:58Come.
22:59We have much to discuss.
23:03No clothes, no weapons, no wires.
23:05If I didn't know any better,
23:06I'd say you don't trust me, honey.
23:08The boy I knew,
23:11the one who referred to the rules as suggestions,
23:17him, I trusted was my life.
23:20You disappeared on it, man.
23:22Well, what happened, right?
23:28Jubal, please.
23:31I'm not so naive to think this is a social call.
23:36Yeah.
23:37No, you're right.
23:38Did your man abduct a 15-year-old girl
23:40named Faith Williams yesterday?
23:42We did not.
23:43I know about the stolen crypto wallet
23:47that belonged to the Brodva Front.
23:50You guys have no sympathy for thieves.
23:52So I am speaking to the FBI.
23:56Not my old friend.
24:00You're both my choices.
24:05Yeah, we were some Bitcoin,
24:08but I don't play games for small prices.
24:11$315,000, it's not nothing.
24:13To us, please.
24:15Look at the trouble it caused
24:17between the FBI, the online exposure.
24:20Online exposure.
24:21Bratwa's shame is now public.
24:24Everyone know that boy stole from us
24:27his name, his address, the amount.
24:29It's all posted online.
24:31So this kid made a fool of you
24:33and you knew exactly who he was
24:34and where you could find him.
24:35Jubal, anyone know how much cash
24:37that boy is sitting on?
24:39Why would I do that?
24:42I knew it's going to be open season
24:44on the boy.
24:47Andre was telling you the truth.
24:50Forum is called Protect the Block,
24:52referring to the blockchain.
24:54So Lucas Williams was doxed on this forum?
24:56He was.
24:57The Cytrax suspicious crypto transactions
24:59anonymously, but I am working on IDing them.
25:02And Cybercrimes had no idea about this forum?
25:04Ah, we don't have the manpower.
25:06Crypto theft is the wild west of cybercrime.
25:09Fitting, because whoever runs this forum
25:11claims to be a white hat hacker.
25:13But this hacker, he, what, deputized himself?
25:16He thinks they're on the side of justice.
25:18Yes, if they suspect someone has stolen Bitcoin
25:20from another wallet,
25:21they expose the thief.
25:23Tagline of the forum is,
25:25actions have consequences.
25:26Right.
25:26And they flagged Lucas Williams' scam,
25:29posted his address, photos, all that.
25:31And the exact amount that he stole.
25:33Okay.
25:35Well, that's an X marks the spot
25:37for any criminal who wants to grab
25:38$315,000 and stolen crypto.
25:40And anyone with an internet connection
25:42can see it.
25:42Well, I guess that's what Andre meant
25:44when he said it's open season.
25:46We just unmasked our white hat.
25:48Whitney Cabial is software developer
25:50here in the city.
25:51She might know more.
25:57I did nothing wrong.
25:59Doxing isn't even a crime.
26:01That kid stole the money.
26:02I just caught him before you did.
26:04No.
26:05Whitney, what you did was set off
26:06a chain of criminal events
26:08that led to two people being murdered.
26:12Including the abduction of an innocent girl.
26:16Faith Williams is 15.
26:18She had nothing to do with this.
26:20And now her life is being ransomed
26:21for some stolen Bitcoin.
26:23All things to your forum.
26:25I hope you find the girl.
26:26I really do.
26:27But I am not responsible
26:28for what nutjobs do with my posts.
26:31Legally, that is not true.
26:33You will be charged with accessory to murder.
26:35Kidnapping.
26:36Endangerment of a minor.
26:38What is it that you always say?
26:40Actions have consequences.
26:45Now a good time?
26:46It's perfect.
26:47Whitney here was just about
26:48to offer her full cooperation.
26:50Right?
26:51Yeah.
26:52I'll help.
26:53Terrific.
26:55Meet FBI intelligence analyst
26:57Ian Lim.
26:58He's the one who cracked
27:00your forum security
27:01and identified you.
27:03Shadow proxy?
27:04Been trying to narrow down
27:06who might have seen your post
27:07with Lucas Williams' information.
27:08But your site wipes
27:09some incoming IP addresses.
27:11Yeah.
27:11Volatile logging.
27:12There is no backup.
27:14You must have the kidnapper's
27:15wallet address, right?
27:16Yes.
27:16It was included in the ransom.
27:18You should be able to ID them
27:19from the previous transactions.
27:21New wallet.
27:22Never been used.
27:23So they know what they're doing.
27:25What haven't I tried?
27:26We have no other way
27:27to track or even communicate with them.
27:32This girl's life depends on it.
27:37Sending crypto is the only real way
27:38to elicit wallet activity.
27:40Wait.
27:41Sorry, I'm trying to keep up here.
27:43It sounds like you're saying
27:44the only way to trace back
27:46to the kidnappers
27:47is to actually send the Bitcoin.
27:51Unless we dropped
27:52something else in their wallet.
27:59All right.
27:59I know I'm still out here
28:00carrying cash,
28:01but I think I understand
28:02enough about crypto
28:03if no, you can't send a text
28:04to a wallet address, right?
28:06Correct.
28:06You can only send crypto,
28:08but I can create
28:09a new digital coin
28:11that we can send
28:12to the kidnapper's wallet.
28:13You can just create
28:14a new cryptocurrency?
28:15Anyone can.
28:16Takes five minutes.
28:17You're out here
28:18printing money, bro.
28:19Not really.
28:20It'll be valueless.
28:22Just needed to get
28:24the kidnapper's attention.
28:27May I present?
28:29Huh.
28:29Proof of life first coin.
28:31Very smart.
28:32So the coin is the message,
28:34and hopefully this will get them
28:35to turn on their burner.
28:36Exactly.
28:37As soon as this coin
28:38appears in the kidnapper's wallet,
28:40it'll tell them
28:41that Lucas is only willing
28:42to pay the ransom
28:43if they prove
28:44that his sister is still alive.
28:46They turn on their burner
28:47to send the proof.
28:48So send it.
28:54The kidnappers must have seen
28:56Ian's proof of life coin
28:57and turn their burners back on.
28:58Just in time.
28:59It looks like they are
29:00about to respond.
29:00Okay.
29:01Here we go.
29:02Lucas, please give them the money.
29:04They said they're going to kill me.
29:06If you don't give them the money.
29:07Okay, timestamp on that news clip
29:08is from one minute ago.
29:09Turn that station on.
29:13Is that...
29:14Yeah.
29:14Yeah, that's live.
29:16We can still save this girl.
29:17Okay, so where are they holding her?
29:19The burner that they're using
29:20doesn't have GPS services on,
29:22and they stripped
29:23all location metadata
29:24from the video.
29:25She's in a pretty
29:26nondescript room.
29:28Hang on.
29:29That structure.
29:31It's a round masonry heater.
29:34That kind of brick design
29:35with a small firebox,
29:36that's really unusual.
29:37It's German style,
29:39circa 1900 to 1915.
29:41You're up on 20th century
29:42masonry now, Morant?
29:43I helped my uncle
29:44renovate a building one summer.
29:45Would you let them in, Cook?
29:46Most owners ripped these out
29:48by the 90s
29:48because of the city's
29:49updated air pollution control code,
29:51but the ones that didn't
29:53need to file permits,
29:54Elise...
29:55Yeah, there can't be
29:55many of those things left.
29:57Searching Department of Buildings
29:59records for section...
30:0121.
30:0121 masonry permits
30:03filtering by year and style.
30:06Okay, and then there were
30:07four left.
30:08Yeah, we'll split the team.
30:09We'll narrow it down on the ground.
30:18Okay, SWAT's still a few minutes out.
30:21Maggie and OA cleared
30:22the other two buildings,
30:22so you've got a 50-50 shot
30:24with this one.
30:25Just proceed with caution.
30:32We're in the right place.
30:34Confirm, Jubal,
30:35this is where Faith
30:36was being held.
30:37Copy that.
30:46All right, I count two
30:48armed.
30:49Any eyes on Faith?
30:50Negative.
30:51We've got to confirm
30:52that Faith is on site.
30:54Copy.
30:54Go on, right.
31:04Go, go, go!
31:11You got him?
31:12Go!
31:30Get him!
31:31Get him!
31:40Black Dodge Challenger couldn't get a plate.
31:42Put out a bolo now.
31:45So two kidnappers got away, one was killed.
31:48What about Lucas Williams' sister?
31:49No, even Skola swept the property.
31:50She was not there.
31:51So we don't know if she's alive or dead?
31:52No, but we're digging into the perp that our team took down.
31:54How are we doing, Elise?
31:55Yep.
31:55Simon Brumel, 20 years old.
31:57No gang affiliation, just minor drug possession.
32:00Assault charges for a couple bar fights.
32:01It's a big leap from drunk and disorderly to murder and kidnapping.
32:05Got something.
32:05Simon wasn't affiliated, but looks like his father was.
32:12He's prophet.
32:19Why are you sweating, man?
32:21We'll be there.
32:24You lied to me.
32:26Go to another room.
32:27Faith Williams' kidnappers, they work for you.
32:30You really thought I wouldn't figure it out?
32:32You're not that slick.
32:33Do not mistake a history for permission to disrespect me.
32:36I'm starting to question our history altogether.
32:39What are you doing, man?
32:40She is a child.
32:41I did not order this.
32:43No, we ID'd one of the kidnappers.
32:44The name Brumel.
32:46Ring any bells?
32:47Brumel's boy does not work for me.
32:49None of those kids do.
32:51I heard whispers about these kids.
32:53They're trying to make a reputation to get noticed.
32:57Well, they did.
32:59Just not so much how they hoped.
33:02And I found out only after you came here.
33:06I don't know where they're holding a girl.
33:10Prove it.
33:12Help me save her.
33:27Thank you, Robin.
33:30You want some?
33:32Still eating like a 14-year-old, I see.
33:35All habits I know.
33:38It will be the death of me.
33:44Trust.
33:46Jubal.
33:47I ask these kids to meet.
33:49They'll come to me.
33:53Andrei's intel helped us identify these two men as our kidnappers, Nikita Kharkov and
33:58Ilya Marinov.
34:00They're practically kids.
34:01If they spook and they don't show up, we have nothing.
34:04Having a face-to-face with Andrei means something.
34:06And if they're trying to move up, this is their chance to impress the boss.
34:09They think recovering Andrei's 300K will make him invaluable to Bratva.
34:13Okay, Jubal's wire is hot.
34:15He and Andrei are going to get them to incriminate themselves, and we will arrest them and use that
34:19information to see if we can get Faith Williams' location.
34:22Andrei could have something planned here.
34:23Are we sure we trust him?
34:25No.
34:28Nope.
34:29Showtime.
34:30Hey, Jubal, we have a car pulling up now.
34:32He's in the black Dodge.
34:32We last saw the suspects driving.
34:34No.
34:35It's a green BMW.
34:39Okay, we got a problem.
34:40Nikita's the only one that showed up.
34:43That means that Ilya might be with Faith at a different location.
34:46I think it's going to put her in danger if we arrest Nikita here.
34:48What I think you should do is get Nikita to say the location where they're holding Faith.
34:52And whatever you do, make sure that Nikita and Ilya don't speak.
34:58Here comes you.
35:10You wanted my attention.
35:13You'd have it.
35:30We figured out who robbed you.
35:32Did I ask you to do that?
35:35Do I know you at all?
35:37No.
35:41But I know you.
35:44I could be an asset to you.
35:46Make sure no one steals from you ever again.
35:48So where's my money?
35:52I'll have it in 90 seconds.
35:59How much?
36:00All of it.
36:03$315,000 in Bitcoin.
36:05Is it me?
36:06Are you also feeling a little doubtful here?
36:08I mean, why is he so confident that the money is going to come through?
36:16I'm the accountant, okay?
36:18He is part of Bratwa, unlike you.
36:22Answer his question.
36:25We're not stupid, okay?
36:29We have the sister as collateral.
36:31We don't get your money by 5 p.m., we'd kill her.
36:33Okay.
36:34Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's 5 p.m., so where is it?
36:39I see no money.
36:48We'll show the theory serious.
36:50We'll finish the job.
36:52No, no, no, no, no.
36:52Stop, stop, stop, stop.
36:54You killed that girl.
36:55My boss doesn't get his money.
36:56All right, you need to tell us where she is.
37:00Hey, I said stop.
37:01You need to tell us where the girl is right now.
37:03Let go of me.
37:04I can handle this, okay?
37:07Enough.
37:08Tell me where the girl is before your stupidity brings us all down.
37:13The real man will clean up your mess.
37:17You're going to want to check how you talk to me, old man.
37:20I'll be running Bratwa one day.
37:25Kid, you'll never be a part of my organization.
37:39FBI.
37:39We're sick, we're sick.
37:41We need a medic in here.
37:43Over, Nikita.
37:44Get off me.
37:45Where is Faith Williams?
37:47Huh?
37:48You better pray that that girl is still alive.
37:51Where is she, Nikita?
37:52Tell me.
37:54Maggie, Ilya is two blocks north in the Dodge Challenger.
37:57He has Faith.
37:58Copy, horn away.
38:04Don't shoot.
38:05She's in the trunk.
38:07I could skip a round.
38:09Okay, well, don't miss.
38:11FBI, drop your weapon!
38:16Go, go, go.
38:19Hey, Faith.
38:27You're okay.
38:28Hey.
38:31Where's Lucas?
38:33Where's my brother?
38:35I want my brother.
38:36We've got him, Faith.
38:37He's safe.
38:38Come on.
38:39Is he okay?
38:40He's okay.
38:47He's okay.
38:55Such a tragedy, right?
38:58That kid just made one bad choice after another.
39:02He was just trying to save his family.
39:04Dad is dead.
39:05He's going to prison.
39:06That girl's going to end up in foster care.
39:08I wish this one had a happier ending.
39:11He haven't.
39:12They are both still young.
39:16You know?
39:17If early parole and the right support system, maybe it's not too late for Lucas to make different
39:25choices.
39:27Want me to leave that?
39:28Yeah.
39:55Some things never change, Trouble.
39:59I can hear you thinking from in here.
40:04Couldn't tell if you were awake.
40:06Hey, I'm glad you're going to be okay.
40:10It'll take more than this to bring me down.
40:13Today was almost like the old days.
40:16It's your idea of a good time, huh?
40:18Well, speaking of the old days, I brought you something.
40:25Remember our little side business in Moscow?
40:29Stealing pastilla from the school comes and selling it to the rich kids at twice the price.
40:36Yeah.
40:37It was a nice little scheme, huh?
40:39Yeah.
40:39We were always a good team.
40:48How long are you going to be in New York for, do you think?
40:51I'm sure someone in the office can answer that for you.
40:59It's not too late.
41:03I know, I know it wouldn't be exactly how we planned, but I could help you actually get out.
41:16You have to work with me.
41:18We can make it happen.
41:21I know what you're saying.
41:24I, too, am happy to see you again, too, Will.
41:27But
41:34next time we meet,
41:38I do not expect it will be his friends.
41:56Go well soon.
41:58Okay.
42:11Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
42:15CBS next Monday.
42:16Free terrorists and a bag of firepower.
42:18Boom!
42:20They're planning another attack.
42:22Guys, you need to see this.
42:23This group is now launching a new wave of terror.
42:26FBI is all new.
42:28CBS next Monday.
42:29Followed by CIA.
42:30From the team behind FBI.
42:32CIA.
42:33New episode CBS next.
