01:01Ow! What the hell, Alice?
01:04Dammit, Josh! Stay in character!
01:07Well, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to get so rough. Is my nose bleeding?
01:09No, it is not bleeding.
01:11Dammit, it's definitely gonna bruise. I have to present to clients on Monday.
01:13This was a stupid idea. Let's just forget it.
01:15No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I've got this. Let me try again.
01:20I'm gonna ravage you.
01:22Gross.
01:23Well, I'm sorry.
01:24I'm sorry. Do 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?
01:48Susan?
01:51Are you all right?
02:01If there's anybody in here, the cops are on the way.
02:27Susan Granwell, dead in the kitchen.
02:30Must have been a pretty big donor for the mayor to ask you all to step in.
02:33They were old friends.
02:34What 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.
02:40Already deceased.
02:42Preliminary 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 the 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?
02:56That skill is a weapon of opportunity.
02:57So it's not premeditated murder.
02:59What a robbery gone wrong.
03:01She 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.
03:09Only disturbance was in here.
03:11Windows and doors were intact.
03:12Alarm didn't go.
03:13Whoever 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.
03:22Alright folks.
03:24Last night Susan Granwell was attacked and killed in her home.
03:26A $12 million historically preserved home in Fieldston.
03:31Susan was a major donor and confidant of the mayor.
03:34He would like her killer brought to justice immediately.
03:37Right.
03:38Have we notified the family yet?
03:39No.
03:39Her son Bobby is in Tokyo with his grandparents.
03:42And 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.
03:49And our 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.
03:58Well, Susan grew up in Upper East Side social life.
04:00Old money.
04:01Now she's a hotelier.
04:02By way of marriage, her late husband Alex founded a chain of boutique hotels called the Granwell Hotels.
04:07They have locations across the country.
04:08Yes, Ammon, I stayed at a Granwell once.
04:10They had a pillow menu.
04:10Well, that's not all they got.
04:12Turns out Granwell Hotels is knee-deep in a serious labor dispute.
04:16Maintenance and hospitality workers have been on strike the past three months with no end in sight.
04:22They claim Susan's trying to starve them out.
04:24The protests have been peaceful, but it's getting nasty.
04:26Nasty enough to attack Susan in her own home?
04:29She thought so.
04:30Susan 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.
04:50Known for running campaigns of intimidation he has threatened multiple times to burn down Granwell properties.
04:55Not the type to catch flies with honey, huh?
04:57Definitely not.
04:59Granwell sent their goons to rough me up, silencing.
05:03We are not scared of you.
05:06You 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...
05:13Well, forensics might back it up.
05:14Yeah?
05:15Report from the crime scene just landed and Jeremy's fingerprints were found all over it.
05:20Low lipid oxidation in the residue suggests his prints were recent.
05:23What about the murder weapon?
05:24Wiped clean, no fingerprints there.
05:26Well, nice try, Jeremy.
05:27The man was there.
05:28Let's bring him in.
05:32Man, well, man, well, you can't hide.
05:35We can see your breathing side.
05:38Man, well, man, well, you can't hide.
05:41We can see your breathing side.
05:41Back up!
05:42He's careful!
05:43He's going to get out of here!
05:47He's scared!
05:49He's scared!
05:50Excuse me, FBI.
05:52He's in the stand by!
05:53He's in the stand by!
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?
06:05No doubt, ladies, that's not what's happening here, okay?
06:08Look, 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.
06:17Now.
06:17Oh, you don't tell them what to do, sweetheart.
06:20Sweetheart?
06:21Okay, yeah, no, that's not going to work.
06:23Let's go.
06:23You two, step aside or you're coming.
06:25Let's go.
06:26Hands behind your back.
06:26See?
06:27You see what they're doing to us?
06:29Don't let these jackboots take away your voices!
06:33Union strong!
06:34Union strong!
06:36Union strong!
06:37Union strong!
06:38You hear that, Susan?
06:40You should be scared!
06:45The 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.
06:51You 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.
07:03Nothing I said on that video is real.
07:05So Granwell Hotels never sent you their people to beat you up?
07:08Not 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?
07:18File a false police report?
07:19Blaming Susan Granwell's private security?
07:22You gotta give them an enemy to keep them motivated, so you had a couple of my boys roughed me
07:27up, blamed it all on management.
07:29Sounds like a felony.
07:31Well, it worked.
07:33Momentum's on our side now.
07:34So if Susan Granwell is losing, why'd you pay her a visit?
07:38Your fingerprints, they're all over Susan's home.
07:42Doorknobs, kitchen counters.
07:44Question is, are we gonna find them on Susan's body?
07:48Well, hold up her body.
07:49You killed her.
07:50What? I...
07:51Beat her to death and then fled. Did you not?
07:53What? What are you talking about?
07:54No, no, no, no, no. I didn't...
07:58What? No, no, no.
08:00Susie. This is my Susie.
08:03You are Susie.
08:04I didn't do this. I would never. I mean, we couldn't come out publicly, but we were in love.
08:09This woman was your sworn enemy. You trash-talked her daily.
08:13For sure. From the second we met at negotiations, I felt a spark. We were the same. Stubborn.
08:21We wanted big things, you know? We just chose different paths. That didn't stop the Bates from bringing us together.
08:27That's a good story. But, you know, you've also proven that you're a good actor.
08:32It's not acting.
08:33Prove it.
08:37I proposed. How about that?
08:40With my man's heirloom ring.
08:43I can check the pics on my cell phone. There's proof there.
08:47I didn't do this.
08:50I...
08:55Hey, take a look at that.
08:59Happy family.
09:00Doesn't mean he's innocent, though.
09:01No, but his alibi does.
09:03The 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.
09:17So, what, you'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.
09:23I mean, I looked into vintage rings like this for Nina.
09:26I 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.
09:34By 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.
09:53All 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.
10:04Right, 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?
10:20On it?
10:20Any criminal history?
10:21Not even a parking ticket.
10:22He's an impressive kid.
10:24He was up for the Miller-Dyer Prize in high school computing last year.
10:27He was an honor student at the Augustus 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.
10:39Right.
10:39Saw an opportunity for a payday, but then Susan caught him, and I mean, yeah, maybe.
10:44Could be my bias because he's my son's age, but I'm having a hard time believing this kid is our
10:48killer.
10:48We need to talk to him.
10:49How are we doing, Ian?
10:49His phone is dark, not just off.
10:52Lucas 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.
11:00And his dad isn't answering.
11:02All right, let's get a team to Lucas Williams' house.
11:10Straight ahead.
11:12It's open.
11:37Bedroom's clear.
11:38Go away.
11:39I got a body.
11:42Is it Lucas?
11:44It'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 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.
12:0818, no criminal record, full ride at a great school.
12:11I mean, seemingly happy family.
12:13Maybe I get killing grandma for the ring.
12:16Yeah, I don't know.
12:17Why does a kid like this go that far for cash?
12:19Then 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.
12:28Meaning 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.
12:34It'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 AMR 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, we got a bullet hit on Lucas.
12:56NYPD foot patrol lost him on West Broadway and Prince.
13:00A lot of high-end consignment stores down there.
13:03Grab Maggie, no way.
13:04We're on it.
13:08Skoll and Eva, check the other two shops and assign to Lucas.
13:10Okay.
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.
13:23The 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.
13:38You just missed him.
13:50Maggie, there he is.
13:52Got him.
13:55He made us.
14:01In pursuit of our suspect heading south on Mercer towards 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.
14:26They 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?
14:40I don't know who they are, but I stole from them and they know and they're going to kill her.
14:44Okay, okay, stop.
14:44Back up.
14:45What'd you steal?
14:45Okay, there's this crypto phishing scam.
14:48I saw it on Reddit.
14:50Idea is you send fake transfer links to a ton of people.
14:54Like, click here to secure your crypto account sort of thing.
14:58And, um, 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.
15:11The phishing scam was anonymous.
15:14I don't know how they found me.
15:15Well, they did.
15:16So why would you do this?
15:17I was desperate.
15:22My dad got laid off a couple years ago.
15:24He 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 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, 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 our mortgage, caught up on all the bills.
15:49I sold like $17,000 left over.
15:51Okay, okay.
15:52I thought I was saving us.
15:53Yeah, well, okay.
15:54So whoever you stole from, they found you?
15:58When I got home from school yesterday, my sister was gone and my dad.
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 Greenwell's.
16:26I remember that I had a key.
16:28Right.
16:28Easy 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 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.
17:03You still took the ring?
17:07Yes.
17:09To save my sister.
17:14Please.
17:17You've got to find her.
17:22Please.
17:28All right, folks, listen up.
17:30This is Faith Williams, Lucas' 15-year-old sister.
17:33And if we believe this 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.
17:44Well, okay, 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 by 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 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.
18:06Just 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.
18:19Either way, they won't see our message until their phone's back online.
18:22Right, okay.
18:22So what about the wallet address?
18:24Can we track that?
18:24Tried, but it's brand new.
18:26No activity to exploit.
18:27But I can track the wallet Lucas initially robbed.
18:30But I 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.
18:39The wallet Lucas phished is affiliated with an exchange account registered to a Novarin Systems.
18:45Novarin Systems.
18:46What 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.
18:55You're kidding me.
18:57This kid accidentally stole from the Russian mob.
19:06In an absolutely banner stroke of bad luck, 18-year-old Lucas Williams unknowingly stole $315,000 from Bratva, the
19:14Russian mob.
19:15How did they even know Lucas was stealing from them?
19:17Yeah, that's snagging to me too.
19:19We're just getting into it, so.
19:20We just arrested the boss of the New York clan six months ago.
19:23Do we know who is in charge now?
19:24Uh, yeah.
19:25Uh, Elise, how we doing on that?
19:26Uh, yeah, organized crime believe the new head of the New York clan of Bratva to be this man, 54
19:33years old.
19:34Andrei Ovechkin?
19:37How long has he been in New York?
19:38Immigration says three months. I'm guessing you've heard of him?
19:41You could say that.
19:45All right, so, um, you remember my old man used to work for the State Department, right?
19:51Right.
19:52So, he was stationed in Moscow for a couple years when I was 12.
19:55I went to the international school over there.
19:57You want to take a wild guess who my best friend was?
20:03You were only in Moscow for two years.
20:06Yeah, yeah, but, you know, Andrei was, you know, he was like a brother.
20:11Even after my family moved back to the States, you know, we talked as much as we could.
20:16We had a whole plan.
20:17You know, he was going to move here.
20:18He was going to stay with me.
20:19We were going to open up a private investigator business, you know, get answers for people left behind in the
20:26system.
20:27I smuggled a VHS tape of Chinatown into Moscow, and we used to watch it all the time.
20:34I kind of had a thing for 70s noir.
20:38You're still in contact with him?
20:39No, I haven't talked to him since I was 20.
20:41I mean, the Soviet Union collapsed.
20:45You know, it was chaos.
20:46He went dark.
20:47Eventually, I found out he had joined Pratva to survive.
20:50But his name hasn't popped up in years.
20:52I figured, you know, he had been killed with the trajectory he was on.
20:57It seems he got his stars instead.
21:00Well, his tenure as boss will be short-lived.
21:03I want a full-scale raid on his base of operations.
21:06We'll force his hand to give up the girl.
21:09Respectfully, obviously, Pratva is good for this, but with Andrei, if they send him here from Moscow,
21:16he means something to the organization and the powers that be are watching, and he knows that.
21:21All the more reason for him to make a statement.
21:23No one steals from Pratva on Andrei Ovechkin's watch.
21:26I don't know, my gut is just telling me that's not how he'd handle this.
21:30You know, it's sloppy, and he is anything but sloppy.
21:34Jubal, an innocent girl's life is on the line here.
21:37We've got to have more than just your gut.
21:41Are you sure you can be objective here?
21:44Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:45No, no, no, no, no.
21:46My historical knowledge of Andrei isn't a blind spot.
21:49If anything, it's an asset.
21:52Okay.
21:54How do you feel about paying an old friend to visit?
22:01I don't know.
22:02I don't know.
22:03I don't know.
22:03I don't know.
22:04I don't know.
22:04I don't know.
22:05I don't know.
22:05I don't know.
22:06I don't know.
22:06I don't know.
22:06I don't know.
22:08Hi, I'm here to speak with Andrei.
22:12He's not taking visit, Wors.
22:16Now, to organize the Russians,
22:21there are others.
22:23Please remember there...
22:35That's not how we treat our friends, is it, Mita?
22:42It's not how we treat our friends, is it, Mita?
22:43Jubal Valentine
22:45Oh, I should say assistant special agent in charge. Hmm. Okay. Yeah, so you look me up, but
22:54Be surprised if you'd recognize me that fast. Yeah, Russian accent is also memorable. Okay
23:02Come with much to discuss. Yeah
23:06No clothes no weapons no wires I don't know any better. I'd say you don't trust me honey the boy
23:12I knew
23:14The one who referred to the rules as suggestions
23:20Him I trust it was my life
23:23You disappeared on it man
23:26What happened right
23:29Do well
23:31Please
23:34I'm not so naive to think this is a social call
23:39Yeah, well, you're right
23:41Did your man abduct a 15 year old girl named faith Williams yesterday?
23:45We did not I know about the this
23:49Stolen crypto wallet that that belonged to the broad front front
23:52You guys have no sympathy for thieves
23:55So I am speaking to the FBI
23:59Not my old friend
24:03They both my choices
24:09Yeah, we were up some Bitcoin
24:12But I don't play games for small prices
24:15315k it's not enough to us please
24:18Look at the trouble it's caused between the FBI and online exposure online exposure
24:24But that was shame is now public
24:27Everyone know that boy stole from us his name his address the amount it's all posted online
24:34So this kid made a fool of you and you knew exactly who he was and where you could find
24:38him
24:38Zubal anyone know how much cash that boy is sitting on
24:42Why would I do that?
24:45I knew it's gonna be open season on the boy
24:51Andrzej was telling you the truth
24:52The forum is called protect the block referring to the blockchain
24:57So Lucas Williams was doxed on this forum?
24:59He was the site tracked suspicious crypto transactions anonymously
25:03But I am working on IDing them
25:05And Cybercrimes had no idea about this forum?
25:08We don't have the manpower
25:09Crypto theft is the wild west of cybercrime
25:12Fitting because whoever runs this forum claims to be a white hat hacker
25:15But this this hacker he what deputized himself he thinks they're on the side of justice
25:21Yes if they suspect someone has stolen Bitcoin from another wallet they expose the thief
25:26Tagline of the forum is actions have consequences
25:29Right and and they flagged lucas williams as scam posted his address photos all that
25:34And the exact amount that he stole
25:36Okay
25:37Well that's an x marks the spot for any criminal who wants to grab 315 000 and stolen crypto
25:43And anyone with an internet connection can see it
25:45I guess that's what andre meant when he said it's open season
25:49We just unmasked our white hat
25:51Whitney cabialis software developer here in the city
25:55She might know more
26:00I did nothing wrong doxing isn't even a crime that kid stole the money
26:05I just caught him before you did
26:07No whitney what you did was set off a chain of criminal events that led to two people being murdered
26:15Including the abduction of an innocent girl
26:19Faith williams is 15 she had nothing to do with this and now her life is being ransomed for some
26:25stolen bitcoin
26:27All things to your forum
26:28I hope you find the girl
26:29I really do but I am not responsible for what nut jobs do with my posts
26:33Legally that is not true
26:36You will be charged with accessory to murder
26:39Kidnapping endangerment of a minor
26:41What is it that you always say?
26:44Actions have consequences
26:48Now a good time
26:49It's perfect
26:50Whitney here was just about to offer her full cooperation
26:53Right yeah i'll help
26:57Terrific
26:58Meet fbi intelligence analyst ian lim
27:02He's the one who cracked your forum security and identified you
27:06Shadow proxy
27:07Been trying to narrow down you might have seen your post with lucas williams information
27:12But your site wipes all incoming ip addresses
27:14Yeah volatile logging there is no backup
27:17You must have the kidnappers wallet address right?
27:19Yes it was included in the ransom
27:20You should be able to id them from the previous transactions
27:23New wallet never been used
27:26So they know what they're doing
27:28What haven't i tried we have no other way to track or even communicate with them
27:35This girl's life depends on it
27:40Sending crypto is the only real way to elicit wallet activity
27:44Wait i'm sorry i'm trying to keep up here it sounds like you're saying the only way
27:48To trace back to the kidnappers is to actually send the bitcoin
27:54Unless we dropped something else in their wallet
28:02All right i know i'm still out here carrying cash but i think i understand enough about crypto to know
28:06you can't send a text
28:07To a wallet address right correct you can only send crypto
28:11But i can create a new digital coin that we can send to the kidnappers wallet
28:16You can you can just create a new cryptocurrency anyone can takes five minutes
28:20You're out here printing money bro
28:22Yeah not really it'll be valueless
28:25Just needed to get the kidnappers attention
28:30May i present
28:32Huh proof of life first coin very smart
28:35So the coin is the message and hopefully this will get them to turn on their burner
28:39Exactly as soon as this coin appears in the kidnappers wallet
28:43It'll tell them that lucas is only willing to pay the ransom if they prove that his sister is still
28:48alive
28:49They turn on their burner to send the proof
28:52So send it
28:58The kidnappers must have seen ian's proof of life coin and turn their burners back on
29:01Just in time it looks like they are about to respond
29:04Okay here we go
29:06Lucas please give them the money
29:08They said they're gonna kill me if you give them the money
29:10Okay time stamp on that news clip is from one minute ago
29:12Turn that station on
29:16Is that
29:17Yeah
29:18Yeah that's live
29:19We can still save this girl
29:20Okay so where are they holding her
29:22The burner that they're using doesn't have gps services on
29:25And they stripped all location metadata from the video
29:28She's in a pretty nondescript room
29:31Hang on that structure
29:34It's a round masonry heater
29:37That kind of brick design with a small firebox that's really unusual
29:40It's uh german style circa 1900 to 1915
29:44You're up on 20th century masonry now murray
29:46I helped my uncle renovate a building one summer
29:48Would you let the man cook
29:49Most owners ripped these out by the 90s because of the city's updated air pollution control code
29:54But the ones that didn't need to file permits
29:57Elise
29:58Yeah there can't be many of those things left
30:00Searching department of buildings records for section
30:0421
30:0421 masonry permits filtering by year and style
30:09Okay and then there were four left
30:11Yeah we'll split the team we'll narrow it down on the ground
30:21Okay swat still a few minutes out
30:24Maggie and OA cleared the other two buildings
30:26So you got a 50 50 shot with this one
30:28So just proceed with caution
30:35We're in the right place
30:38Confirm Jubal this is where faith was being held
30:40Copy that
30:43Almost time we gotta go
30:50All right account two armed
30:52Any eyes on faith?
30:53Negative
30:54We gotta confirm that faith is on site
30:57Copy
30:57Going right
31:07Go go go
31:10click
31:13Get
31:14go go go
31:15go go go
31:20go go
31:40I said two male suspects fleeing north on DuPont, Black Dodge Challenger couldn't get
31:44a plate.
31:45I've been out of Bolo now.
31:48So it's two kidnappers got away, one was killed.
31:51What about Lucas Williams' sister?
31:52No, even Skola swept the property.
31:53She was not there.
31:54So we don't know if she's alive or dead?
31:55No, but we're digging into the perp that our team took down.
31:58How are we doing, Elise?
31:58Yep.
31:59Simon Brumell, 20 years old, no gang affiliation, just minor drug possession, assault charges
32:04for a couple of bar fights.
32:05It's a big leap from drunk and disorderly to murder and kidnapping.
32:08I got something.
32:09Simon wasn't affiliated, but it looks like his father was.
32:15He's brought up.
32:23Why you sweat, man?
32:24We'll be there.
32:27You lied to me.
32:29Go to another room.
32:31Faith Williams' kidnappers, they work for you.
32:33You really thought I wouldn't figure it out?
32:35You're not that slick.
32:36Do not mistake a history for permission to disrespect me.
32:39I'm starting to question our history altogether.
32:42What are you doing, man?
32:43She is a child.
32:44I did not order this.
32:46No, we ID'd one of the kidnappers.
32:48The name Brumell?
32:49Ring any bells?
32:51Brumell's boy does not work for me.
32:52None of those kids do.
32:54I heard whispers about these kids.
32:57They're trying to make a reputation to get noticed.
33:01Well, they did.
33:02Just not so much how they hoped.
33:05And I found out only after you came here.
33:09I don't know where they're holding a girl.
33:14Prove it.
33:16Help me save her.
33:33Thank you, Robin.
33:36You want some?
33:38Still eating like a 14-year-old, I see.
33:41All habits, I know.
33:44It'll be the death of me.
33:50Trust.
33:51Tribal.
33:53Ask these kids to meet, they'll come to me.
33:59Andrei's intel helped us identify these two men as our kidnappers, Nikita Karkov and Ilya
34:04Miranov.
34:05They're practically kids.
34:07If they spook and they don't show up, we have nothing.
34:09Having a face-to-face with Andrei means something.
34:12And if they're trying to move up, this is their chance to impress the boss.
34:15They think recovering Andrei's 300K will make him invaluable to Bratva.
34:19Okay, Jubal's wire is hot.
34:21He and Andrei are going to get them to incriminate themselves.
34:23Then we will arrest them and use that information to see if we can get Faith Williams' location.
34:27Andrei could have something planned here.
34:29Are we sure we trust him?
34:31No.
34:34Nope.
34:34Showtime.
34:35Hey, Jubal, we have a car pulling up now.
34:37He's in the black Dodge.
34:38We lost all the suspects driving.
34:40No.
34:41It's a green BMW.
34:45Okay, we got a problem.
34:46Nikita's the only one that showed up.
34:48That means that Ilya might be with Faith at a different location.
34:52I think it's going to put her in danger if we arrest Nikita here.
34:54What I think you should do is get Nikita to say the location where the whole
34:57is holding Faith.
34:58And whatever you do, make sure that Nikita and Ilya don't speak.
35:04Here he comes.
35:16You wanted my attention.
35:18You have it.
35:36We figured out who robbed you.
35:38Did I ask you to do that?
35:41Do I know you at all?
35:43No.
35:47But I know you.
35:49I could be an asset to you.
35:51Make sure no one steals from you ever again.
35:54So where's my money?
35:58I'll have it in 90 seconds.
36:05How much?
36:06All of it.
36:08315,000.
36:10In Bitcoin.
36:11Is it me?
36:12Are you also feeling a little doubtful here?
36:14I mean, why is he so confident that the money's going to come through?
36:21I'm the accountant.
36:23Okay.
36:24He's part of Bratois, unlike you.
36:28Answer his question.
36:31We're not stupid.
36:33Okay?
36:35We have the sister as collateral.
36:37You don't get your money by 5 p.m.
36:39We kill her.
36:39Okay.
36:40Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's 5 p.m., so where is it?
36:45I see no money.
36:54We'll show the theory serious.
36:56I'll never finish the job.
36:57No, no, no, no, no, no.
36:58Stop, stop, stop, stop.
37:00You kill that girl, my boss doesn't get his money.
37:02All right?
37:03You need to tell us where she is.
37:06Hey, I said stop.
37:07You need to tell us where the girl is right now.
37:09Let go of me.
37:09I can handle this, okay?
37:13Enough.
37:14Tell me where the girl is before your stupidity brings us all down.
37:18The real man will clean up your mess.
37:22You're gonna wanna check how you talk to me, old man.
37:26I'll be running Brett Wallen way.
37:28Kid.
37:31You'll never be a part of my organization.
37:44FBI.
37:45Let me see, let me see.
37:47We need a medic in here!
37:49Over, Nikita.
37:50Get off me!
37:51Where's Faith Williams?
37:52Huh?
37:54You better pray that that girl's still alive.
37:56Where is she, Nikita?
37:58Tell me!
37:59Maggie.
38:00Ilya is two blocks north in the Dodge Challenger.
38:03He has Faith.
38:03Copy.
38:04Horn away.
38:09Don't shoot!
38:10She's in the trunk.
38:13I could skip a round.
38:15Okay, well don't miss.
38:17FBI!
38:18Drop your weapon!
38:21Go, go, go.
38:24I got you.
38:30Hey, Faith.
38:33You're okay.
38:34Hey.
38:37Where's Lucas?
38:39Where's my brother?
38:41I want my brother.
38:42We've got him, Faith.
38:43He's safe.
38:44Come on.
38:45Is he okay?
38:46He's okay.
39:00Such a tragedy, right?
39:04That kid just made one bad choice after another.
39:08He was just trying to save his family.
39:10Dad is dead.
39:11He's going to prison.
39:12That girl's gonna end up in foster care.
39:14I wish this one had a happier ending.
39:17I am too.
39:18They are both still young.
39:22You know?
39:23With early parole and the right support system,
39:27maybe it's not too late for Lucas to make different choices.
39:32Want me to believe that?
39:34Yeah.
40:01Some things never change, Jubal.
40:04I can hear you thinking from it here.
40:09I couldn't tell if you were awake.
40:12I am.
40:14Glad you're gonna be okay.
40:15It'll take more than this to bring me down.
40:19Today was almost like the old days.
40:22It's your idea of a good time, huh?
40:24Well, speaking of the old days, I brought you something.
40:31Remember our little side business in Moscow?
40:35Stealing pastilla from the school comes and selling it to the rich kids at twice the price.
40:42Yeah.
40:43It was a nice little scheme, huh?
40:44Yeah.
40:45We were always a good team.
40:49Yeah.
40:50We were.
40:53How long are you gonna be in New York for, do you think?
40:57I'm sure someone in the office can answer that for you.
41:00Yeah.
41:04It's not too late.
41:09I know, I know it wouldn't be exactly how we planned, but...
41:16I could help you actually get out.
41:22You have to work with me.
41:23We can make it happen.
41:27I know what you're saying.
41:30I, too, am happy to see you again, sure, Will.
41:34But...
41:40Next time we meet...
41:44I do not expect it will be his friends.
42:02Go well soon, Andre.
42:15Go well soon, Andre.
42:34You!
42:42I'll see you again soon.
