00:06I don't know.
00:36I don't know.
00:47I don't know.
00:49I don't know.
00:52Enough.
00:53Just behave.
00:58Dammit!
01:00Ow!
01:02What the hell, Alice?
01:04Dammit, Josh.
01:05Stay in character.
01:06I'm sorry.
01:07I just didn't expect you to get so rough.
01:08Is my nose bleeding?
01:09No, it is not bleeding.
01:10Dammit, it's definitely gonna bruise.
01:11I have to present to clients on Monday.
01:13This was a stupid idea.
01:14No, no.
01:15Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:16I've got this.
01:17Let me try again.
01:19I'm gonna ravage you.
01:22Gross.
01:23Well, I'm sorry.
01:24Do not apologize.
01:29I'm from Susan's house.
01:31Call 911.
01:32Josh, no.
01:33Let the cops handle it.
01:34Just 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.
02:34What do we know?
02:35Neighbors heard a commotion around 11 p.m.
02:37One of them came to check on Susan.
02:39Found her bleeding out on the ground.
02:40Already deceased.
02:41Preliminary 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 for further processing.
02:48Whose firearm is that?
02:49Registered to the victim.
02:50But CSU didn't recover any shell casings.
02:53So she wasn't able to fire it off before she got hit?
02:56That skillet's a weapon of opportunity.
02:57So it's not premeditated murder.
02:59What a robbery gone wrong.
03:00She confronted them with a gun.
03:02They retaliated by grabbing a cast iron.
03:04Maybe.
03:05Nice house.
03:06Lots of valuables.
03:07Doesn'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.
03:17Looks 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.
03:37Have we notified the family yet?
03:39No.
03:39Her 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.
03:57Well, Susan grew up in Upper East Side Socialite.
04:00Old money.
04:00Now she's a hotelier by way of marriage.
04:03Her late husband Alex founded a chain of boutique hotels called the Granwell Hotels.
04:06They have locations across the country.
04:08Yes.
04:08I mean, I stayed at a Granwell once.
04:09They 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.
04:40When that didn't work, maybe 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
04:52he has threatened multiple times to burn 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
05:19it.
05:19Low lipid oxidation in the residue suggests his prints were recent.
05:22And what about the murder weapon?
05:24Wiped clean, no fingerprints there.
05:25Well, nice try, Jeremy.
05:27The man was there.
05:28Let's bring him in.
05:32Granwell, Granwell, you can't hide!
05:35We can see your freedom inside!
05:37Granwell, Granwell, you can't hide!
05:40We can see your freedom inside!
05:41Get back out!
05:42You scared!
05:42Nobody's killed!
05:43Get out of there!
05:46Oh my God!
05:47Scared!
05:48Scared!
05:50Excuse me, FBI.
05:51He's in the middle of the...
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?
06:04Nothing!
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?
06:13Instructing 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!
06:32You 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 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.
07:13All right, that's enough.
07:16Did you fake these injuries?
07:17File a false police report?
07:19Blaming Susan Granwell's private security?
07:21You gotta give them an enemy to keep them motivated.
07:24So you had a couple of my boys rough me up, 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.
07:44The question 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.
07:52Did you not?
07:52What? What are you talking about?
07:54No, no, no, no, no.
07:55I didn't...
07:57What? No.
07:58No, no, no.
07:59Susie. This is my Susie.
08:02You're Susie.
08:03I didn't do this.
08:04I would never.
08:05I mean, we couldn't come out publicly, but we were in love.
08:08No.
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...
08:17We were the same.
08:20Stubborn.
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.
08:28But, 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.
08:43You 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.
09:03To be a 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.
09:09So that would explain his fingerprints all over Susan's house.
09:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:13But that engagement ring.
09:14That seems to be missing.
09:16Hmm.
09:16So, what?
09:17You're saying that this could be a robbery after all and Susan was killed over a ring?
09:21It's possible, right?
09:22Oh, yeah.
09:23And I looked into vintage rings like this for Nina.
09:26Rock like that from the 20s.
09:28Good clarity.
09:29Thing would go for $750,000 easy.
09:31Uh, thanks, Elise.
09:33Well, you win.
09:34By Price is Right rules, Jeremy's insurance policy puts the ring's value at $800,000.
09:39Okay, yeah.
09:40Someone 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,
09:57which means, if true, this tutor is the only other person we know knew our victim had an $800,000
10:02ring.
10:03Which is now missing.
10:03Right.
10:04And Jeremy also said the tutor had a key to Susan's home.
10:07So that is means.
10:08That is opportunity.
10:10And 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 Augustus School in Manhattan.
10:29Yeah, a 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 of years.
10:36Maybe he was sick of being the poor kid at the country club school.
10:39Right.
10:39Saw 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, Augustus School counselor said Lucas didn't show up today.
11:00And his dad isn't answering.
11:02All right.
11:02Let's get a team to Lucas Williams' house.
11:10Straight ahead.
11:12It's open.
11:37Bedroom's clear.
11:38Get away.
11:39I got a body.
11:42Is it Lucas?
11:43It's Frank Williams.
11:46You think Lucas did all this?
11:48Killed his father?
11:49If he did, it's his second murder of the day.
11:59Hey.
12:00Do we have any below hits on Lucas Williams here?
12:01Uh, no, no.
12:02No, but 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.
12:09No criminal record.
12:10Full ride at a great school.
12:11I mean, seemingly happy family.
12:13Maybe I get killing Granwell for the ring.
12:16Yeah.
12:17I don't know.
12:17Why does a kid like this go that far for cash?
12:20Then go kill his father.
12:20Wait.
12:21Ian just sent an Emmy prelim over, and it puts Frank's time of death at approximately 28
12:26hours ago.
12:27Okay.
12:28Meaning Lucas's father was killed before Susan Granwell.
12:31Maybe Lucas, he kills his dad, and then he, uh, he needs cash to go on the run.
12:35It's a theory.
12:35I 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.
12:49Put out an Amber alert.
12:51Look, we don't know if Faith is an accomplice or a hostage yet, but if she's with Lucas,
12:54she's in danger.
12:55Okay.
12:55We 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.
13:08Squall and Eva check the other two shops and assign to Lucas.
13:11Okay.
13:12Excuse me.
13:14FBI.
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 him.
13:50Maggie, there he is.
13:52Got him.
13:55He made us.
14:02In pursuit of our suspect heading south on Mercer towards Spring.
14:19Lucas, 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 gonna kill her.
14:32Come on.
14:32No, no, please.
14:33Don't do this.
14:34They're gonna kill her.
14:40Who took your sister?
14:41I don't know who they are, but I stole from them and they know and they're gonna kill her.
14:44Okay, okay, 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.
14:59And 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.
15:09Okay, I know this is my fault, okay?
15:09I know.
15:12The phishing scam was anonymous.
15:14I don't know how they found me.
15:16No, 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 gonna lose our house.
15:29Our heat kept getting shut off.
15:30We needed help.
15:31Alright, well, how much help does you 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.
15:38A hundred bucks here or there.
15:41But then I got one big hit.
15:43How much?
15:45315,000 in Bitcoin.
15:47I paid off our mortgage, caught up on all the bills.
15:50I still have like 17K left over.
15:52Okay, okay.
15:52I thought it was saving us!
15:53Yeah, well, um, 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 5pm today,
16:15or they were going to kill my sister.
16:18Your sister gets kidnapped by these unknown people you robbed
16:21and, uh, you didn't have enough money left over to pay it back,
16:24so that's why you went to Susan Granwell's.
16:26I remember that I had a key.
16:28Right.
16:29Easy access to a house full of valuables from stealing worked 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 and 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.
17:04You still took the ring?
17:08Yes.
17:10To save my sister.
17:15Please.
17:17You gotta find her.
17:22Please.
17:28All right, folks, listen up.
17:31This is Faith Williams, Lucas' 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' 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, before your sister dies, right?
17:53That QR code does correspond to a Bitcoin wallet.
17:55Well, that only gives us a few hours to find these kidnappers and save this girl.
17:59I'm guessing we cannot track the phone that sent the ransom text.
18:01Correct.
18:02Kidnappers must be using another burner.
18:03Right.
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?
18:17The what?
18:17The phone's off or they're in a spot with no signal.
18:20Either way, they won't see our message until their phone's back online.
18:22Right, okay, so what about the wallet address?
18:24Can we track that?
18:24I've tried, 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, cross-reference it with other public data.
18:39Bingo.
18:40The wallet Lucas phished is affiliated with an exchange account registered to a Novarin Systems.
18:45Novarin Systems, what kind of company is that?
18:47Officially IT consulting, but according to an ongoing RICO investigation,
18:51Novarin Systems is also a suspected front for the New York clan of Bratva.
18:56You're kidding me.
18:58This kid accidentally stole from a Russian mob.
19:02In an absolutely banner stroke of bad luck, 18-year-old Lucas Williams,
19:06unknowingly stole $315,000 from Bratva, the Russian mob.
19:12How did they even know Lucas was stealing from them?
19:14Yeah, that's-that's nagging to me too. We're-we're just getting into it, so.
19:17We just arrested the boss of the New York clan six months ago.
19:20Do we know who is in charge now?
19:21Uh, yeah. Uh, Elise? How we doing on that?
19:23Uh, yeah. Organized crime believes the new head of the New York clan of Bratva to be this man,
19:2954 years old, names-
19:31Andre Ovechkin?
19:33How-how long has he been in New York?
19:35Immigration says three months. I'm guessing you've heard of him?
19:38You could say that.
19:42All right, so, um, you remember my old man used to work for the State Department, right?
19:48Right.
19:49So, he-he was stationed in Moscow for a couple of years when I was 12.
19:52I went to the international school over there. You wanna take a wild guess who my best friend was?
19:58Ooh. You-you were only in Moscow for two years.
20:03Yeah, yeah. But, you know, Andre was, you know, he was like a brother.
20:08Even-even after my family moved back to the States, you know, we talked as much as we could.
20:13We had a whole plan. You know, he was gonna move here. He was gonna stay with me.
20:16We were gonna open up, uh, uh, uh, a private investigator business.
20:20You know, get answers for people left behind in the system.
20:24I-I smuggled a VHS tape of Chinatown into Moscow, and 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. I haven't talked to him since I was 20.
20:39Uh, the Soviet Union collapsed. Uh, you know, it was chaos.
20:43He went dark. Eventually, I found out that he had joined Pratva to survive.
20:47But his name hasn't popped up in years.
20:49I figured, you know, he 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, Pratva is good for this.
21:09But with Andre, if they sent him here from Moscow,
21:13he-he means something to the organization and the powers that be are watching,
21:17and he knows that.
21:18All the more reason for him to make a statement.
21:19No one steals from Pratva on Andrey Ovechkin's watch.
21:23I don't know, my gut is just telling me that's not how he'd handle this.
21:27You know, it's sloppy, and 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. No, no, no, no, no.
21:43My historical knowledge of Andre isn't a blind spot.
21:46If anything, it's an asset.
21:49Okay.
21:51How do you feel about paying an old friend to visit?
22:05Hi, I'm here to speak with Andre.
22:09He's not taking visitors.
22:32That's not how we treat our friends, is it, Mita?
22:40Jubal Valentine.
22:42All right.
22:44Oh, I should say assistant special agent in charge, hmm?
22:48Oh, okay, yeah. So 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. We have much to discuss.
23:00Yeah.
23:03No clothes, no weapons, no wires.
23:05If I didn't know any better, I'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 with my life.
23:20You disappeared on it, man.
23:23But what happened, right?
23:27Jubal.
23:28Please.
23:31I'm not so naive to think this is a social call.
23:35Yeah.
23:37Well, you're right.
23:38Did your man abduct a 15-year-old girl named Faith Williams yesterday?
23:42We did not.
23:44I know about the stolen crypto wallet that belonged to the Bratva Front.
23:50You guys have no sympathy for thieves.
23:52So I am speaking to the FBI.
23:56Not my old friend.
24:00You both made choices.
24:06Yeah, we were robbed some Bitcoin.
24:09But I don't play games for small prices.
24:12315K, it's not nothing.
24:13To us, please.
24:15Look at the trouble it caused between the FBI and the online exposure.
24:20Online exposure.
24:21Bratva's shame is now public.
24:24Everyone know that boy stole from us his name, his address, the amount.
24:29It's all posted online.
24:31So this kid made a fool of you and you knew exactly who he was and where you could find
24:35him.
24:35Jubal.
24:36Anyone know how much cash that boy is sitting on?
24:39Why would I do that?
24:42I knew it's going to be open season on the boy.
24:48Andre was telling you the truth.
24:49The forum is called Protect the Block, referring to the blockchain.
24:54So Lucas Williams was doxed on this forum?
24:56He was.
24:57The site tracked suspicious crypto transactions anonymously, but I am working on IDing them.
25:02The cybercrimes had no idea about this forum?
25:04We don't have the manpower.
25:06Crypto theft is the wild west of cybercrime.
25:09Fitting, because whoever runs this forum claims to be a white hat hacker.
25:13But this hacker, he deputized himself, he thinks they're on the side of justice.
25:18Yes, if they suspect someone has stolen Bitcoin from another wallet, they expose the thief.
25:23Tagline of the forum is actions have consequences.
25:26Right. And they flagged Lucas Williams' scam, posted his address, photos, all that.
25:31And the exact amount that he stole.
25:33Okay.
25:35Well, that's an...
25:35X marks the spot for any criminal who wants to grab 315,000 and stolen crypto.
25:40And anyone with an internet connection can see it.
25:42Well, I guess that's what Andre meant when he said it's open season.
25:46We just unmasked our white hat.
25:48Whitney Cabial is software developer here in the city.
25:51She might know more.
25:57I did nothing wrong.
25:59Doxing isn't even a crime.
26:00That kid stole the money.
26:02I just caught him before you did.
26:04No.
26:05Whitney, what you did was set off a chain of criminal events that 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 for some stolen Bitcoin.
26:24All things to your forum.
26:25I hope you find the girl.
26:26I really do.
26:27But I am not responsible for what nut jobs do with my posts.
26:31Legally, that is not true.
26:32You will be charged with accessory to murder, kidnapping, endangerment 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 to offer her full cooperation, right?
26:51Yeah.
26:52I'll help.
26:54Terrific.
26:55Meet FBI intelligence analyst Ian Lim.
26:59He's the one who cracked your forum security and identified you.
27:03Shadow proxy?
27:04Been trying to narrow down.
27:06You might have seen your post with Lucas Williams information.
27:08But your site wipes all incoming IP addresses.
27:11Yeah.
27:11Volatile logging.
27:12There is no backup.
27:14You must have the kidnapper's wallet address, right?
27:16Yes.
27:16It was included in the ransom.
27:18You should be able to ID them from 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 to track or even communicate with them.
27:32This girl's life depends on it.
27:37Sending crypto is the only real way to elicit wallet activity.
27:41Wait.
27:41I'm sorry.
27:42I'm trying to keep up here.
27:43It sounds like you're saying the only way to trace back to the kidnappers is to actually send the Bitcoin.
27:51Unless we dropped something else in their wallet.
27:59All right, I know I'm still out here carrying cash, but I think I understand enough about crypto to know
28:03you can't send a text to a wallet address, right?
28:06Correct.
28:07You can only send crypto, but I can create a new digital coin that we can send to the kidnapper's
28:12wallet.
28:13You can just create a new cryptocurrency?
28:15Anyone can.
28:16It takes five minutes.
28:17You're out here printing money, bro.
28:19Not really.
28:20It'll be valueless.
28:22Just needed to get the 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, and hopefully this will get them to turn on their burner.
28:37Exactly.
28:37As soon as this coin appears in the kidnapper's wallet, it'll tell them that Lucas is only willing to pay
28:43the ransom if they prove that his sister is still alive.
28:46They turn on their burner to send the proof.
28:48So send it.
28:54The kidnappers must have seen Ian's proof of life coin and turned their burners back on.
28:58Just in time.
28:59It looks like they are about to respond.
29:00Okay.
29:01Here we go.
29:02Lucas, please give them the money.
29:04They said they're gonna kill me if you give them the money.
29:07Okay, timestamp on that news clip is from one minute ago.
29:09Turn that station on.
29:13Is that...
29:14Yeah.
29:15Yeah, 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 doesn't have GPS services on, and they stripped all location metadata from the video.
29:25She's in a pretty nondescript room.
29:27Hang on.
29:28That structure.
29:31It's a round masonry heater.
29:34That kind of brick design with a small firebox, that's really unusual.
29:37It's German style, circa 1900 to 1915.
29:41You're up on 20th century masonry now, Murat?
29:43I helped my uncle renovate a building one summer.
29:45Would you let the man cook?
29:46Most owners ripped these out by the 90s because of the city's updated air pollution control code, but...
29:52The ones that didn't need to file permits.
29:54Elise...
29:55Yeah, there can't be many of those things left.
29:57Searching department of buildings records for section...
30:0121.
30:0221 masonry permits filtering by year and style.
30:06Okay, and then there were four left.
30:08Yeah, we'll split the team, we'll narrow it down on the ground.
30:17Okay, SWAT's still a few minutes out.
30:21Maggie and OA cleared the other two buildings, so you've got a 50-50 shot with this one.
30:25Let's just proceed with caution.
30:32We're in the right place.
30:34Confirm, Jubal, this is where Faith was being held.
30:37Copy that.
30:46All right, I count two armed.
30:49Any eyes on Faith?
30:50Negative.
30:51We gotta confirm that Faith is on site.
30:54Copy.
30:54Going right.
31:04Go, go, go!
31:11Got him?
31:12Got him!
31:30Get him!
31:32Get him!
31:33Get him!
31:33Get him!
31:34Get him!
31:35Get him!
31:35Get him!
31:36Get him!
31:37Get him!
31:37Top 10, two male suspect, putting North on DuPont.
31:40Black Dodge Challenger couldn't get a plate.
31:42Put out of Bolo now.
31:45So, so, two kidnappers got away, one was killed.
31:47What about Lucas Williams' sister?
31:49No, even Skola swept the property, she 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 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.
32:02It's a big leap from drunk and disorderly to murder and kidnapping.
32:05Got something.
32:05Simon wasn't affiliated.
32:07But, looks like his father was.
32:12He's proud, Father.
32:19Why you sweat, man?
32:21We'll be there.
32:24You lied to me.
32:25Go to another room.
32:27Faith Williams' kidnappers, they, 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.
32:42No, 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'll be the death of me.
33:44Trust.
33:46True all.
33:48I ask these kids to meet, they'll come to me.
33:53Andrei's intel helped us identify these two men as our kidnappers.
33:57Nikita Kharkov and Ilya Miranov.
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.
34:06If 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 gonna get them to incriminate themselves,
34:17then we will arrest them and use that information
34:20to 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. Showtime.
34:30Hey, Jubal, we have a car pulling up now.
34:32He's in the black Dodge.
34:33We 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 gonna put her in danger if we arrest Nikita here.
34:49What I think you should do is get Nikita to say the location
34:51where they're holding Faith.
34:52And whatever you do, make sure that Nikita and Ilya don't speak.
34:58Here he comes.
35:10You wanted my attention.
35:12You 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
35:45Make sure no one steals from you ever again
35:48So where's my money?
35:52I'll have it in
35:5690 seconds
35:59How much?
36:01All of it
36:03$315,000
36:04In Bitcoin
36:05Is it me?
36:06Are you also feeling a little doubtful here?
36:08I mean, why is he so confident
36:10That the money's going to come through?
36:12Who are you?
36:14Who are you?
36:14They told me that Andrey wants to meet me
36:16I'm the accountant
36:17Okay
36:18He's part of Bratois
36:19Unlike you
36:22Answer his question
36:25We're not stupid
36:27Okay
36:29We have the sister's collateral
36:31You don't get your money by 5pm
36:33We'd kill her
36:33Okay
36:34Well, I hate to break it to you
36:35But it's 5pm
36:37So where is it?
36:39I see no money
36:48I'll show the theory serious
36:50I'll never finish the job
36:52No, no, no, no, no, no
36:52Stop, stop, stop, stop
36:54You kill that girl
36:55My boss doesn't get his money
36:56All right
36:57You need to tell us
36:58Where she is
37:00Hey, I said stop
37:01You need to tell us
37:02Where 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
37:09Before your stupidity
37:10Brings us all down
37:12The real man
37:13Will clean up your mess
37:17You're gonna wanna check
37:18How you talk to me, old man
37:20I'll be running breath
37:21One day
37:22Kid
37:25You'll never be a part
37:26Of my organization
37:38FBI
37:39Listen, listen
37:41We need a medic in here
37:42Over, Nikita
37:44Get off me
37:45Where's Faith Williams?
37:47Huh?
37:48You better pray
37:49That that girl's still alive
37:51Where is she, Nikita?
37:52Tell me
37:54Maggie
37:54Ilya is two blocks north
37:56And the Dodge Challenger
37:57He has Faith
37:57Copy
37:58We're on her way
38:04Don't shoot
38:04She's in the trunk
38:08I could skip a round
38:09Okay, well, don't miss
38:12FBI
38:12Drop your weapon
38:16Go, go, go
38:19I got it
38:24Hey, 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
38:55Such a tragedy, right?
38:58Okay
38:59Kid 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
39:06All that girl's going to end up in foster care
39:09I wish this one had a happier ending
39:11I am too
39:13They are both still young
39:16You know
39:17With early parole
39:19And the right support system
39:21Maybe it's not too late for Lucas to make different choices
39:26I like to blame that
39:55Some things never changed, Jubal
39:59I can hear you thinking from in here
40:04Couldn't tell if you were awake
40:07Hey, 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?
40:19Well, speaking of the old days
40:21I brought you something
40:25Remember our little, uh, side business in Moscow?
40:29Stealing pastilla from the school comes
40:32And selling it to the rich kids at twice the price
40:35Yeah
40:36It was a nice little scheme, huh?
40:39Yeah
40:39We were
40:41Always a good team
40:43Yeah, we were
40:48How long are you going to be in New York for, 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
41:04It wouldn't be exactly how we planned
41:07But
41:10I-I could help you actually
41:14Get out
41:16You have to work with me
41:17We can make it happen
41:21I know what you're saying
41:24I, too, am happy to see you again, Jubal
41:27But
41:34Next time we meet
41:38I do not expect it will be his friends
41:40I do not expect it will be his friends
41:57Goodbye soon, Andre
