00:00I
00:51Just behave!
00:58Damn it!
01:00Ow!
01:01What the hell, Alice?
01:03Damn it, Josh! Stay in character!
01:06Well, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to get so rough.
01:07Is my nose bleeding?
01:08No, it is not bleeding.
01:10Damn it, it's definitely gonna bruise.
01:11I have to present to clients on Monday.
01:12This was a stupid idea.
01:14No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:15I've got this. Let me try again.
01:19I'm gonna ravage you.
01:21Gross.
01:22Well, I'm sorry.
01:23Do not apologize.
01:29I'm from Susan's house.
01:31Call 911.
01:32Josh, no, let the cops handle it.
01:33Just stay here, okay?
01:45Susan?
01:47Susan?
01:50Are you all right?
02:00If there's anybody in here, the cops are on the way.
02:27Susan Granwell, dead in the kitchen.
02:29Must have been a pretty big donor for the mayor to ask you all to step in.
02:32They were old friends.
02:33What do we know?
02:34A neighbor showed a commotion around 11 p.m.
02:36One of them came to check on Susan.
02:38Found her bleeding out on the ground.
02:40Already deceased.
02:41Preliminary cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head.
02:43Looks like she got hit with that cast iron.
02:45Okay, we'll have it sent to the lab before the processing.
02:48Whose firearm is that?
02:49Registered to the victim.
02:50But CSU didn't recover any show casings.
02:52So she wasn't able to fire it off before she got hit?
02:55That skillet's a weapon of opportunity.
02:57So it's not premeditated murder.
02:58What a robbery gone wrong.
03:00She confronted them with a gun.
03:01They retaliated by grabbing a cast iron.
03:03Maybe.
03:04Nice house.
03:05Lots of valuables.
03:06Doesn't feel like a break-in.
03:08Only disturbance was in here.
03:10Windows and doors were intact.
03:11Alarm didn't go.
03:12Whoever did this either had access to the house or she let them in.
03:16Looks like a crime of passion.
03:18I 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.
03:36Right.
03:37Have we notified the family yet?
03:38No.
03:38Her son Bobby is in Tokyo with his grandparents.
03:41And because of the time change, we haven't been able to reach them.
03:43But by the time I have to look this boy in the eyes and tell him his mother is gone,
03:46I would like to have some real answers for him.
03:48Our 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.
03:57Well, Susan grew up in Upper East Side social life.
03:59Old money.
04:00Now she's a hotelier by way of marriage.
04:02Her late husband, Alex, founded a chain of boutique hotels called the Granwell Hotels.
04:06They have locations across the country.
04:07Yes.
04:07Am and I stayed at a Granwell once.
04:09They had a pillow menu.
04:10That's not all they got.
04:11Turns out Granwell Hotels is knee deep in a serious labor dispute.
04:15Maintenance and hospitality workers have been on strike for the past three months with no
04:20end 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.
04:32She 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.
04:40When that didn't work, maybe they amped up the intimidation and it got out of hand.
04:44Who's running this union?
04:45That would be Jeremy Payton, career labor organizer known for running campaigns of intimidation
04:51he has threatened multiple times to burn down Granwell properties.
04:54Not the type to catch flies with honey, huh?
04:56Definitely not.
04:58Granwell sent their goons to rough me up to silence me.
05:03We are not scared of you!
05:05You hear that, Susan?
05:06You should be scared of us!
05:08Well, he might be a charmer, but if it walks like a motive and talks like a motive...
05:12Forensics might back it up.
05:13Yeah?
05:14Report 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.
05:22And what about the murder weapon?
05:23Wiped clean, no fingerprints there.
05:25Well, nice try, Jeremy. The man was there.
05:27Let's bring him in.
05:32Granwell, Granwell, you can't hide!
05:34We can see your breathing inside!
05:37Granwell, Granwell, you can't hide!
05:40We can see your breathing inside!
05:41Back up! He's scared!
05:42Nobody's killing me!
05:43Get out of here!
05:47He's scared! He's scared!
05:49He's scared!
05:50Excuse me, FBI.
05:51Excuse me.
05:54Jeremy Payton!
05:55How you doing, FBI?
05:55Why 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!
06:05That'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?
06:12Instructing a federal agent is a crime, fellas.
06:14So move.
06:16Now.
06:17Oh, you don't tell them what to do, sweetheart.
06:20Sweetheart?
06:20Okay, yeah, no, that's not gonna work.
06:22Let's go, you two, step aside or you're coming.
06:24Let's go, hands behind your back.
06:26You see?
06:26You see what they're doing to us?
06:28Don't let these jackboots take away your voices!
06:32Union strong!
06:33Union strong!
06:35Union strong!
06:36Union strong!
06:37Union strong!
06:38Union strong!
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.
06:47That'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.
06:58Sure, it was theater, but so was 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. All right, that's enough.
07:15Did you fake these injuries?
07:17File a false police report?
07:19Blaming Susan Granwell's private security?
07:21Well, you gotta give them an enemy to keep them motivated,
07:23so you had a couple of my boys rough me up, blamed it all on management.
07:28Sounds like a felony.
07:30Well, it worked.
07:32Momentum's on our side now.
07:33So, 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.
07:43Question is, are we gonna find them on Susan's body?
07:47Well, hold up her body.
07:48You killed her.
07:49What? 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. I did...
07:57What? No. No, no. Susie. This is my Susie.
08:02You're Susie.
08:03I didn't do this. I would never.
08:05I mean, we couldn't come out publicly, but we were in love.
08:08This woman was your sworn enemy. You trash-talked her daily.
08:12For sure.
08:13From the second we met at negotiations, I felt a spark.
08:17We... we were the same. Stubborn.
08:20We wanted big things, you know? We just chose different paths.
08:23That's... that didn't stop the Bates from bringing us together.
08:26That's a good story.
08:28But, you know, you've also proven that you're a good actor.
08:31It's not acting.
08:32Prove it.
08:36I proposed. How about that?
08:39With my man's heirloom ring.
08:42You can check the pics on my cell phone.
08:45There's proof there. I didn't do this.
08:49I...
08:54Hey, take a look at that.
08:58Happy family.
08:59Doesn't mean he's innocent, though.
09:00No, but his alibi does. The jock confirmed via security cams
09:04that Jeremy was at the union office at the time of the murder.
09:06Well, he's also claiming that the two of them were engaged,
09:09so that would explain his fingerprints all over Susan's house.
09:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that engagement ring,
09:14that seems to be missing.
09:15Hmm.
09:16So, what, you're saying that this could be a robbery after all,
09:19and 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.
09:28I think it'd go for $750,000 easy.
09:31Uh, thanks, Elise.
09:33Well, you win, but by Price is Right rules,
09:35Jeremy's insurance policy puts the ring's value at $800,000.
09:38Okay, yeah, someone might kill over that.
09:40Yeah, for sure.
09:41Okay, but Jeremy said that only the people in this photo
09:44knew about the engagement.
09:46Well, that's not entirely true.
09:48Someone took this picture.
09:52All right, so according to Jeremy Payton,
09:54Bobby's private math tutor took this photo,
09:56which means, if true, this tutor is the only other person
09:59we know knew our victim had an $800,000 ring.
10:02Which is now missing.
10:03Right, and Jeremy also said the tutor
10:05had a key to Susan's home, so that is means.
10:08That is opportunity, and that's me hoping
10:10you figure out who this tutor is.
10:12Lucas Williams, 18, lives in Corona
10:14with his dad, Frank, and younger sister, Faith.
10:17Okay, Ian, you want to get up on his phone?
10:19On it?
10:19Any criminal history?
10:20Not even a parking ticket.
10:22He's an impressive kid.
10:23He was up for the Miller-Dyer Prize
10:24in high school computing last year.
10:26He was an honor student
10:27at the Augustus School in Manhattan.
10:28Yeah, a Corona kid at a private fancy school uptown.
10:31Full ride. Need-based scholarship.
10:33Looks like Dad's been unemployed for a couple years.
10:35Maybe he was sick of being the poor kid
10:37at the country club school.
10:38Right.
10:39Saw an opportunity for a payday,
10:40but then Susan caught him, and, I mean, yeah, maybe.
10:43Could be my bias because he's my son's age,
10:45but I'm having a hard time believing this kid is our killer.
10:47We 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.
10:52He's savvy.
10:53Oh, so he could be trying to not be found.
10:56Hey, Augusta's school counselor said
10:58Lucas didn't show up today.
10:59And his dad isn't answering.
11:01All right.
11:02Let's get a team to Lucas Williams' house.
11:09Straight ahead.
11:11It's open.
11:36Bedroom's clear.
11:37Go away.
11:38I got a body.
11:41Is it Lucas?
11:43It's Frank Williams.
11:45You think Lucas did all this?
11:47Killed his father?
11:49If he did, it's his second murder of the day.
11:55Hey.
11:56Do we have any below hits on Lucas Williams here?
11:57Uh, no, no.
11:58But Elise is working on bringing his sister, Faith, in.
12:01See if she knows what our brother's up to.
12:03Someone has to.
12:04I'm 18.
12:05No criminal record.
12:06Full ride at a great school.
12:07I mean, seemingly happy family.
12:09Maybe I get killing Granwell for the ring.
12:12Yeah, I don't know.
12:13Why does a kid like this go that far for cash?
12:15Then go kill his father.
12:17Wait.
12:17Ian just sent an Emmy prelim over,
12:19and it puts Frank's time of death at approximately 28 hours ago.
12:23Okay, meaning Lucas's father was killed before Susan Granwell.
12:26Maybe Lucas, he kills his dad, and then he, uh, he needs cash to go on the run.
12:30It's a theory.
12:31I don't know.
12:32There's just something big we're missing here.
12:35Hey, did you track down the sister?
12:36Not exactly.
12:37Spoke to Faith's school admin.
12:39She didn't come in today.
12:40We pinged her phone to the family home.
12:41She left it behind.
12:42You're saying Faith Williams appears to be missing?
12:45All right.
12:45Put out an AMR alert.
12:47Look, we don't know if Faith is an accomplice or a hostage yet,
12:49but if she's with Lucas, she's in danger.
12:51Okay, we got a bullet hit on Lucas.
12:52NYPD Foot Patrol lost him on West Broadway and Prince.
12:56A lot of high-end consignment stores down there.
12:59Grab Maggie, no way.
13:00We're on it.
13:04Skoll and Eva check the other two shops and assign to Lucas.
13:06Okay.
13:08Excuse me.
13:10FBI.
13:11We're looking for this kid.
13:12He might have been with his sister.
13:13Have you seen him?
13:14Surely have, but he was alone.
13:15Had a gorgeous 20s vintage piece.
13:18Incredible setting.
13:19The clarity on it?
13:21But he couldn't explain the provenance.
13:23I don't deal with creatively sourced items,
13:26if you catch my drift.
13:27No, we get it.
13:28You operate above board.
13:29So how did the conversation end?
13:31I told him he'd have better luck
13:32at the tawdry pawn shop down the street.
13:34You just missed him.
13:46Maggie, there he is.
13:48Got him.
13:51He made us.
13:57In pursuit of our suspect heading south on Mercer towards Spring.
14:16Lucas, you're under arrest for the murder of Susan Grandwell and Frank Williams.
14:21Got the ring.
14:21Please don't do this.
14:22They took my sister.
14:23I was just trying to save her.
14:24They're gonna kill her.
14:27Come on.
14:28No, no, please.
14:29Don't do this.
14:30They're gonna kill her.
14:35Who took your sister?
14:36I don't know who they are, but I stole from them and they know and they're gonna kill her.
14:40Okay, okay, stop.
14:40Back up.
14:41What'd you steal?
14:41Okay, there's this crypto phishing scam.
14:44I saw it on Reddit.
14:46The idea is you send fake transfer links to a ton of people.
14:50Like, click here to secure your crypto account sort of thing.
14:54And if someone clicks on one, then all the crypto from their digital wallet gets drained into yours.
15:00What are you doing, man?
15:01You're a bright kid.
15:02You got a scholarship.
15:03This was not a smart choice.
15:05Okay, I know this is my fault, okay?
15:05I know.
15:07The phishing scam was anonymous.
15:10I don't know how they found me.
15:12Well, they did.
15:12So why would you do this?
15:13I was desperate.
15:18My dad got laid off a couple years ago.
15:20He hasn't been able to find work since.
15:22We were gonna lose our house.
15:25Our heat kept getting shut off.
15:26We needed help.
15:27All right, well, how much help does you need?
15:29Because it must have been a lot for these people to come after your family.
15:32I got a couple small bites, you know, a hundred bucks here or there.
15:36But then I got one big hit.
15:38How much?
15:41$315,000 in Bitcoin.
15:43I paid off our mortgage, caught up on all the bills.
15:45I sold like $17,000 left over.
15:47Okay, okay.
15:48I thought it was saving us!
15:49Yeah, well, um, okay.
15:50So whoever you stole from, they found you?
15:54When I got home from school yesterday, my sister was gone and my dad...
16:00Dad.
16:03They left a phone in my dad's hand and it had a text message that said I had to transfer
16:08the Bitcoin that I stole into their wallet by 5pm today or they were going to kill my sister.
16:14Your sister gets kidnapped by these unknown people you robbed and, uh, you didn't have enough money left over to
16:20pay her back.
16:20So that's why you went to Susan Greenhouse.
16:22I remember that I had a key.
16:24Right.
16:24Easy access to a house full of valuables and stealing work once, but why did you kill Susan?
16:29She wasn't supposed to be home, okay?
16:32I was just gonna grab stuff that she wouldn't miss.
16:36But she was there and I tried to sneak out but it was dark and I tripped and she found
16:41me and she had a gun.
16:43All I could think is she's gonna shoot me and then my sister is gonna die.
16:49So I panicked.
16:52I panicked and I hit her.
16:54You killed her.
16:55I didn't mean to.
16:57I didn't.
17:00You still took the rape?
17:03Yes.
17:06To save my sister.
17:10Please.
17:12You gotta find her.
17:17Please.
17:25All right, folks, listen up.
17:26This is Faith Williams, Lucas' 15-year-old sister.
17:29And if we believe this story, Faith is in real danger.
17:32Can we confirm she's being held for ransom?
17:34We found the burner phone in Lucas' bag.
17:35There was a ransom text.
17:37We should believe this is real.
17:40Okay.
17:40So, Lucas Williams, we know who you are.
17:42We know what you did.
17:43Send the money you stole to the following wallet address by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
17:47Or your sister dies.
17:48Right.
17:49That QR code does correspond to a Bitcoin wallet.
17:51Uh, well, that only gives us a few hours to find these kidnappers and save this girl.
17:55I'm guessing we cannot track the phone that sent the ransom text.
17:57Correct.
17:58Kidnappers must be using another burner.
17:59Right.
18:00All right, so let's just respond to the message.
18:02Just open up the line of communication.
18:04Right?
18:05Start the negotiations.
18:07And get proof of life.
18:08That's what we're looking for here.
18:09Let's see if we can smoke these guys out.
18:12What?
18:13No luck?
18:13The phone's off or they're in a spot with no signal.
18:15Either way, they won't see our message until their phone's back online.
18:18Right, okay.
18:18So what about the wallet address?
18:20Can we track that?
18:20Tried, but it's brand new.
18:22No activity to exploit.
18:23But I can track the wallet Lucas initially robbed.
18:26I am assuming they're owned by the same person.
18:28So if I can trace that wallet's IP address, cross-reference it with other public data.
18:35Bingo.
18:35The wallet Lucas phished is affiliated with an exchange account registered to a Novarin Systems.
18:41Novarin Systems, what kind of company is that?
18:43Officially IT consulting, but according to an ongoing RICO investigation,
18:47Novarin Systems is also a suspected front for the New York clan of Bratva.
18:52You're kidding me.
18:53This kid accidentally stole from a Russian mob.
18:59In an absolutely banner stroke of bad luck, 18-year-old Lucas Williams unknowingly stole $315,000 from Bratva, the
19:07Russian mob.
19:08How did they even know Lucas was stealing from them?
19:10Yeah, that's-that's snagging to me too.
19:12We're-we're just getting into it, so.
19:14We just arrested the boss of the New York clan six months ago.
19:17Do we know who is in charge now?
19:18Uh, yeah.
19:18Uh, Elise?
19:19How we doing on that?
19:20Uh, yeah.
19:20Organized crime believe the new head of the New York clan of Bratva to be this man.
19:2654 years old.
19:28Name's-
19:28Andre Ovechkin?
19:30How long has he been in New York?
19:32Immigration says three months.
19:33I'm guessing you've heard of him?
19:35You could say that.
19:39Alright, so, um, you remember my old man used to work for the State Department, right?
19:44Right.
19:45So, he-he was stationed in Moscow for a couple of years when I was 12.
19:49I went to the international school over there.
19:50You want to take a wild guess who my best friend was.
19:55Ooh.
19:56You-you were only in Moscow for two years.
19:59Yeah, yeah.
20:00But, you know, Andre was, you know, he was like a brother.
20:04Even-even after my family moved back to the States.
20:07You know, we talked as much as we could.
20:09We had a whole plan.
20:10You know, he was gonna move here.
20:12He was gonna stay with me.
20:13We were gonna open up a-a-a-a private investigator business.
20:16You know, get answers for people left behind in the system.
20:21I-I smuggled a VHS tape of Chinatown into Moscow,
20:25and we used to watch it all the time.
20:27I kind of had a thing for 70s noir.
20:31You're still in contact with him?
20:32No. I haven't talked to him since I was 20.
20:35Uh, the Soviet Union collapsed.
20:38Uh, you know, it was chaos.
20:40He went dark.
20:41Eventually, I found out he had joined Pratva to survive.
20:44But his name hasn't popped up in years.
20:46I figured, you know, he had been killed with the trajectory he was on.
20:51It seems he got his stars instead.
20:54Well, his tenure as VHS will be short-lived.
20:57I want a full-scale raid on his base of operations.
21:00We'll force his hand to give up the girl.
21:02Respectfully.
21:03Obviously, Pratva is good for this.
21:05But with Andrei...
21:08If they send him here from Moscow,
21:09he means something to the organization
21:12and the powers that be are watching, and he knows that.
21:14All the more reason for him to make a statement.
21:16No one steals from Pratva on Andrei Ovechkin's watch.
21:20I don't know. My gut is just telling me
21:21that's not how he'd handle this.
21:23You know, it's sloppy, and he is anything but sloppy.
21:27Jubal, an innocent girl's life is on the line here.
21:30We've got to have more than just your gut.
21:35Are you sure you can be objective here?
21:37Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
21:39My historical knowledge of Andrei isn't a blind spot.
21:42If anything, it's an asset.
21:45Okay.
21:47How do you feel about paying an old friend to visit?
22:01Hi. I'm, uh, here to speak with Andrei.
22:05He's not taking visitors.
22:28It's not how we treat our friends, is it, Mitya?
22:37Jubal Valentine.
22:39All right.
22:40Or I should say, assistant special agent in charge, hmm?
22:44Oh, okay, yeah. So you look me up.
22:47I'd be surprised if you'd recognize me that fast.
22:50Your Russian accent is also memorable.
22:53Okay.
22:54Come. We have much to discuss.
22:57Yeah.
22:59No clothes, no weapons, no wires.
23:02If I didn't know any better, I'd say you don't trust me, Andrei.
23:05The boy I knew.
23:08The one who referred to the rules as suggestions.
23:12Him.
23:14I trust. It was my life.
23:16You disappeared on it, man.
23:19But what happened, right?
23:23Jubal.
23:25Please.
23:28I'm not so naive to think this is a social call.
23:32Yeah. Well, you're right.
23:34Did your man abduct a 15-year-old girl named Faith Williams yesterday?
23:39We did not.
23:40I know about the, uh, the stolen crypto wallet that belonged to the Bratva Front.
23:46You guys have no sympathy for thieves.
23:49So I am speaking to the FBI.
23:53Not my old friend.
23:57You're both my choices.
24:02Yeah, we were robbed some Bitcoin.
24:05But I don't play games for small prices.
24:08315K, it's not nothing.
24:10To us.
24:10Please.
24:11And look at the trouble it caused between the FBI and the online exposure.
24:16Online exposure?
24:17Bratva's shame is now public.
24:21Everyone know that boy stole from us his name, his address, the amount.
24:26It's all posted online.
24:28So this kid made a fool of you, and you knew exactly who he was and where you could find
24:31him?
24:31Jubal.
24:32Anyone know how much cash that boy is sitting on?
24:36Why would I do that?
24:39I knew it's gonna be open season on the boy.
24:44Andre was telling you the truth.
24:46The forum is called Protect the Block, referring to the blockchain.
24:50So Lucas Williams was doxed on this forum?
24:53He was.
24:53The site tracked suspicious crypto transactions anonymously, but I am working on IDing them.
24:59And Cybercrimes had no idea about this forum?
25:01We don't have the manpower.
25:03Crypto theft is the wild west of cybercrime.
25:06Fitting, because whoever runs this forum claims to be a white hat hacker.
25:09But this hacker, he, what, deputized himself?
25:13He thinks they're on the side of justice.
25:15Yes, if they suspect someone has stolen Bitcoin from another wallet, they expose the thief.
25:19Tagline of the forum is, actions have consequences.
25:23Right.
25:23And they flagged Lucas Williams' scam, posted his address, photos, all that.
25:27And the exact amount that he stole.
25:30Okay.
25:31Well, that's an...
25:32X marks the spot for any criminal who wants to grab 315,000 and stolen crypto.
25:36And anyone with an internet connection can see it.
25:39Well, I guess that's what Andre meant when he said it's open season.
25:43We just unmasked our white hat.
25:45Whitney Cabialis, software developer here in the city.
25:48She might know more.
25:53I did nothing wrong.
25:55Doxing isn't even a crime.
25:57That kid stole the money.
25:59I just caught him before you did.
26:01No.
26:01Whitney, what you did was set off a chain of criminal events that led to two people being murdered.
26:09Including the abduction of an innocent girl.
26:12Faith Williams is 15.
26:15She had nothing to do with this.
26:16And now her life is being ransomed for some stolen Bitcoin.
26:20All thanks to your forum.
26:21I hope you find the girl.
26:23I really do.
26:24But I am not responsible for what nut jobs do with my posts.
26:27Legally, that is not true.
26:29You will be charged with accessory to murder.
26:32Kidnapping.
26:33Endangerment of a minor.
26:34What is it that you always say?
26:37Actions have consequences?
26:41Now a good time.
26:43It's perfect.
26:44Whitney here was just about to offer her full cooperation.
26:47Right?
26:48Yeah.
26:49I'll help.
26:50Terrific.
26:51Meet FBI intelligence analyst Ian Lim.
26:55He's the one who cracked your forum security and identified you.
26:59Shadow proxy?
27:01Been trying to narrow down.
27:02You might have seen your post with Lucas Williams information.
27:05But your site wipes all incoming IP addresses.
27:07Yeah.
27:08Volatile logging.
27:09There is no backup.
27:10You must have the kidnapper's wallet address, right?
27:12Yes.
27:13It was included in the ransom.
27:14You should be able to ID them from the previous transactions.
27:17New wallet.
27:18Never been used.
27:20So they know what they're doing.
27:22What haven't I tried?
27:23We have no other way to track or even communicate with them.
27:28This girl's life depends on it.
27:33Sending crypto is the only real way to elicit wallet activity.
27:37Wait.
27:38I'm sorry.
27:39I'm trying to keep up here.
27:40It sounds like you're saying the only way to trace back to the kidnappers is to actually send the Bitcoin.
27:47Unless we dropped something else in their wallet.
27:55All right, I know I'm still out here carrying cash, but I think I understand enough about crypto to know
27:59you can't send a text to a wallet address, right?
28:02Correct.
28:03You can only send crypto, but I can create a new digital coin that we can send to the kidnappers
28:09wallet.
28:09You can just create a new cryptocurrency?
28:12Anyone can.
28:13It takes five minutes.
28:14You're out here printing money, bro.
28:15Yeah.
28:16Not really.
28:17It'll be valueless.
28:19Just needed to get the kidnappers' attention.
28:23May I present?
28:25Huh.
28:26Proof of life first coin.
28:28Very smart.
28:28So the coin is the message, and hopefully this will get them to turn on their burner.
28:33Exactly.
28:34As soon as this coin appears in the kidnappers' wallet, it'll tell them that Lucas is only willing to pay
28:39the ransom if they prove that his sister is still alive.
28:43They turn on their burner to send the proof.
28:45So send it.
28:48The kidnappers must have seen Ian's proof of life coin and turned their burners back on.
28:52Just in time.
28:53It looks like they are about to respond.
28:54Okay.
28:55Here we go.
28:56Lucas, please give them the money.
28:58They said they're gonna kill me if you don't give them the money.
29:01Okay, time stamp on that news clip is from one minute ago.
29:03Turn that station on.
29:07Is that...
29:08Yeah.
29:09Yeah, that's live.
29:10We can still save this girl.
29:11Okay, so where are they holding her?
29:13The burner that they're using doesn't have GPS services on, and they stripped all location metadata from the video.
29:19She's in a pretty nondescript room.
29:21Hang on.
29:22That structure is a round masonry heater.
29:27Uh, that kind of brick design with a small firebox.
29:30That's really unusual.
29:31It's, uh, German style.
29:33Circa 1900 to 1915.
29:35You're up on 20th century masonry now, Morant?
29:37I helped my uncle renovate a building one summer.
29:39Would you let the man cook?
29:40Most owners ripped these out by the 90s because of the city's updated air pollution control code,
29:45but the ones that didn't need to file permits.
29:48Elise, we...
29:49Yeah, there can't be many of those things left.
29:51Searching department of buildings records for section...
29:5521.
29:5521 masonry permits filtering by year and style.
30:00Okay, and then there were four left.
30:02Yeah, we'll split the team.
30:03We'll narrow it down on the ground.
30:11Okay, SWAT's still a few minutes out.
30:15Maggie and OA cleared the other two buildings, so you've got a 50-50 shot with this one.
30:19So just proceed with caution.
30:26We're in the right place.
30:28Confirm, Jubal, this is where Faith was being held.
30:31Copy that.
30:32You're deaf, sir.
30:34Almost time, we gotta go.
30:41Alright, I count two armed.
30:43Any eyes on Faith?
30:44Negative.
30:45We gotta confirm that Faith is on site.
30:48Copy, going right.
30:58Go, go, go!
31:05Got him?
31:06Go!
31:31I'm saying two male suspects being north on DuPont.
31:34Black Dodge Challenger couldn't get a plate.
31:36Put out a bolo now.
31:39So two kidnappers got away.
31:41One was killed.
31:41What about Lucas Williams' sister?
31:43No, even Skola swept the property.
31:44She was not there.
31:45So we don't know if she's alive or dead?
31:46No, but we're digging into the perp that our team took down.
31:48How are we doing, Elise?
31:49Yep, Simon Brumell, 20 years old, no gang affiliation, just minor drug possession, assault charges for a couple bar fights.
31:56It's a big leap from drunken disorderly to murder and kidnapping.
31:58Got something.
31:59Simon wasn't affiliated, but looks like his father was.
32:05He's brought far.
32:13Why you sweat, man?
32:15We'll be there.
32:18You lied to me.
32:19Go to another room.
32:21Faith Williams' kidnappers, they work for you.
32:24You really thought I wouldn't figure it out?
32:26You're not that slick.
32:27Do not mistake a history for permission to disrespect me.
32:30I'm starting to question our history altogether.
32:32What are you doing, man?
32:34She is a child.
32:35I did not order this.
32:36No, we ID'd one of the kidnappers.
32:38The name Brumell?
32:40Ring any bells?
32:41Brumell's boy does not work for me.
32:43None of those kids do.
32:44I heard whispers about these kids.
32:47They're trying to make a reputation to get noticed.
32:51Well, they did.
32:53Just not so much how they hoped.
32:55And I found out only after you came here.
33:00I don't know where they're holding a girl.
33:04Prove it.
33:06Help me save her.
33:21Thank you, Robin.
33:24You want some?
33:26Still eating like a 14-year-old, I see.
33:29All habits, I know.
33:32It'll be the death of me.
33:38Trust.
33:41I ask these kids to meet.
33:43They'll come to me.
33:47Andrei's intel helped us identify these two men as our kidnappers, Nikita Kharkov and
33:52Ilya Mironov.
33:54They're practically kids.
33:55If they spook and they don't show up, we have nothing.
33:58Having a face-to-face with Andrei means something.
34:00And if they're trying to move up, this is their chance to impress the boss.
34:03They think recovering Andrei's 300K will make him invaluable to Bratva.
34:07Okay, Jubal's wire is hot.
34:09He and Andrei are going to get them to incriminate themselves.
34:11Then we will arrest them and use that information to see if we can get Faith Williams' location.
34:15Andrei could have something planned here.
34:17Are we sure we trust him?
34:19No.
34:22Nope.
34:23Showtime.
34:24Hey, Jubal, we have a car pulling up now.
34:25He's in the black Dodge.
34:26We last saw all the suspects driving.
34:28No.
34:29It's a green BMW.
34:33Okay, we got a problem.
34:34Nikita's the only one that showed up.
34:36That means that Elia might be with Faith at a different location.
34:40I think it's going to put her in danger if we arrest Nikita here.
34:43What I think you should do is get Nikita to say the location where they're holding Faith.
34:46And whatever you do, make sure that Nikita and Elia don't speak.
34:52Here he comes.
34:55Stop.
35:04You wanted my attention.
35:06You have it.
35:24We figured out who robbed you.
35:26Did I ask you to do that?
35:29Do I know you at all?
35:31No.
35:35But I know you.
35:38I could be an asset to you.
35:40Make sure no one steals from you ever again.
35:42So where's my money?
35:46I'll have it in 90 seconds.
35:53How much?
35:54All of it.
35:56$315,000 in Bitcoin.
35:59Is it me?
36:00Are you also feeling a little doubtful here?
36:02I mean, why is he so confident that the money is going to come through?
36:09I'm the accountant.
36:11Okay.
36:12He is part of Bratois, unlike you.
36:16Answer his question.
36:19We're not stupid.
36:21Okay?
36:23We have the sister as collateral.
36:25If you don't get your money by 5 p.m., we kill her.
36:28Okay.
36:28Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's 5 p.m., so where is it?
36:33I see no money.
36:42We'll show that theory is serious.
36:44I'll give a finish the job.
36:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
36:46Stop, stop, stop, stop.
36:48You kill that girl, my boss doesn't get his money.
36:50All right, you need to tell us where she is.
36:54Hey, I said stop.
36:55You need to tell us where the girl is right now.
36:57Let go of me I can handle this, okay?
37:01Enough.
37:02Tell me where the girl is before your stupidity brings us all down.
37:06The real man will clean up your mess.
37:11You're going to want to check how you talk to me, old man.
37:14I'll be running Bratois on the way.
37:16Kid.
37:19You'll never be a part of my organization.
37:32FBI.
37:33Let me see.
37:34Let me see.
37:35We need a medic in here!
37:37Over, Nikita.
37:38Get off me!
37:39Where is Faith Williams, huh?
37:42You better pray that that girl is still alive.
37:45Where is she, Nikita?
37:46Tell me!
37:47Maggie, Ilya is two blocks north in the Dodge Challenger.
37:51He has Faith.
37:51Copy.
37:52Horn away.
37:57Don't shoot.
37:58She's in the trunk.
38:01I could skip a round.
38:03Okay, well don't miss.
38:05FBI!
38:06Drop your weapon!
38:10Go, go, go, go.
38:12I got it.
38:18Hey, Faith.
38:21You're okay.
38:22Hey.
38:25Where's Lucas?
38:27Where's my brother?
38:29I want my brother.
38:30We've got him, Faith.
38:31He's safe.
38:32Come on.
38:33Is he okay?
38:34He's okay.
38:49Such a tragedy, right?
38:52That kid just made one bad choice after another.
38:56He was just trying to save his family.
38:58Dad is dead.
38:59He's going to prison.
39:00That girl's going to end up in foster care.
39:03I wish this one had a happier ending.
39:05Yeah, me too.
39:06They are both still young.
39:10You know?
39:11With early parole and the right support system,
39:15maybe it's not too late for Lucas to make different choices.
39:20Want to wait a minute?
39:22Yeah.
39:49Some things never change, Jubal.
39:53I can hear you thinking from it here.
39:58Couldn't tell if you were awake.
40:00I am.
40:02Glad you're going to be okay.
40:03It'll take more than this to bring me down.
40:07Today was almost like the old days.
40:10It's your idea of a good time, huh?
40:12Well, speaking of the old days, he brought you something.
40:19Remember our little, uh, side business in Moscow?
40:23Stealing pastilla from the school comes and selling it to the rich kids at twice the price.
40:30Yeah.
40:31It was a nice little scheme, huh?
40:32Yeah.
40:33Yeah.
40:33We were always a good team.
40:37Yeah, we were.
40:41How long are you going to be in New York for, you think?
40:45I'm sure someone in the office can answer that for you.
40:48Uh, it's not too late.
40:57I know, I know it wouldn't be exactly how we planned, but I, I could help you actually get out.
41:10But, you have to work with me.
41:11We can make it happen.
41:15I know what you're saying.
41:18I, too, am happy to see you again, sure, Will.
41:21But?
41:28Next time we meet,
41:32I do not expect it will be his friends.
41:50Go well soon, Andre.
42:23Go well soon, Andre.
42:27You
