00:28:58Angela Young. Oh, just call me Angie.
00:29:01What are we having? Are you drinking anything?
00:29:05I'm just doing a coffee, but you are welcome to get whatever you want. It's on me.
00:29:09Thanks, hon. That's sweet.
00:29:13So, what can I help you with? You said you were looking for somebody we picked up?
00:29:18Yes, it's a friend who lost her daughter, and I'm trying to help get them reconnected.
00:29:24Mm-hmm. Yeah, it happens all the time. Waiter! Waiter! Or waitress!
00:29:33Thank you. And how can I help you?
00:29:37I'll have one of these, and a black coffee. No cream, no milk, sugar, nothing.
00:29:44You put any of that stuff in it, I'm sending it back.
00:29:47Yes, ma'am.
00:29:50Look, sweetie, I don't know what Gary told you, but I can't track anyone down in the system.
00:29:56It's a complete cluster mess, and the bureaucracy makes it even worse.
00:30:04I keep my head down so I can keep my job.
00:30:07Can you at least see if she's been deported or if she's still...
00:30:10Most of them are still being cut loose to find their own way home.
00:30:17Well, we don't talk about it.
00:30:19And a young girl, like the one your friend...
00:30:23It's her daughter.
00:30:24Right, right.
00:30:25Well, I'm sure there's plenty of fellas that are willing to help her out.
00:30:33That's awful.
00:30:35Ain't it?
00:30:40See, pretty little thing like you, you could go down to Plaza Fiesta, poke around a little
00:30:46bit, learn more than you ever will from me.
00:30:50Where is that?
00:30:51And who would I talk to there?
00:30:53You'll know.
00:30:55Whenever we need to make quota, we head down there for a Clito.
00:30:59Could you excuse me for just a second?
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:13Maybe if we offer to pay for her tires, she'll connect for a photo transfer?
00:31:17A photo won't work.
00:31:19We need a larger file so it connects directly with her IP address.
00:31:22Playing off people's emotions to siphon money is...
00:31:28Assuming Heather's not really Heather.
00:31:31Yeah, there's still a really strong chance that she's shy.
00:31:34That's the explanation, so...
00:31:36Sorry to interrupt.
00:31:37I just wanted to check if you guys need anything.
00:31:40I'm good.
00:31:42And Eric, can I get you anything?
00:31:45There's a great coffee shop just on the road.
00:31:47My favorite.
00:31:48I love going there, actually.
00:31:50Abby, I think we're good.
00:31:55So, what kind of files should we send?
00:31:57Let me see what I have.
00:32:00We should send her something that'll make her feel guilty about the scam, like, uh, hospital bill, cancer diagnosis.
00:32:09I got a digital Bible I could send.
00:32:13Seems kind of random.
00:32:14We never really talked about religion.
00:32:16The file is big enough.
00:32:19What do you guys think?
00:32:21I don't think anybody's going to get mad if we send a Bible, right?
00:32:25You know, one of her passions is reading.
00:32:26I'm okay with it, I guess.
00:32:28Go ahead.
00:32:34Okay, I don't know, you guys.
00:32:37Any woman is going to think that this is some conniving scheme to...
00:32:44Does she speak Spanish?
00:32:46Uh, she never said anything.
00:32:49Holy cow, that's it.
00:32:50That's what we needed.
00:32:51No, this is too easy.
00:32:52I'm going to start the trace.
00:32:53She lives on the north side of town near Maple, so...
00:32:56I don't know if she's telling the truth, at least.
00:33:10So, if that's us, why is it just blinking?
00:33:12This isn't working.
00:33:14I...
00:33:14It should be tracing.
00:33:15So, why is it blocked?
00:33:17Is there...
00:33:17No, no, I don't think so.
00:33:19Just give it some time.
00:33:20We can't.
00:33:21It might time out.
00:33:23No, no, it shouldn't work.
00:33:26Send her another message, see if she'll do it again.
00:33:34No, no, no, it's not okay, okay?
00:33:36At first, I botched the recordings, and now this.
00:33:38You know what?
00:33:38I...
00:33:42I quit.
00:33:44Go find someone who will let you down.
00:33:51I'm sorry about that.
00:33:52He's obviously going through something.
00:33:55I'll be back.
00:34:01I...
00:34:12I...
00:34:13I...
00:34:16I...
00:34:18I...
00:34:21I...
00:34:42All right, y'all have fun.
00:34:49Hey.
00:34:51How can I help you?
00:34:53Do you know that guy over there?
00:34:55Ah, yes.
00:34:56He's my carnal.
00:34:58What's his name?
00:35:01He's a fricobal.
00:35:03What's he tell?
00:35:04He's a manager.
00:35:05He helps the merchants stay out of trouble.
00:35:09Stay out of trouble with ICE?
00:35:11No, no, no.
00:35:12With the IRS.
00:35:13Yes.
00:35:24Hey.
00:35:25Speak English?
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:28I do.
00:35:29I do for you.
00:35:32I was sent for merchandise.
00:35:34Did my boss tell you I was coming?
00:35:38Beat it.
00:35:40We have lost a valuable asset, and I'm responsible for finding it.
00:35:46Listen, lady, I don't know what you're talking about, all right?
00:35:52Okay, then.
00:35:55Maybe I'll send my boss to come talk with you.
00:35:58But I suggest you have a really nice mail tonight, Rico.
00:36:05Hey, old lady.
00:36:08Come here.
00:36:13Who's your boss?
00:36:14You see, Juan.
00:36:16My boss wants his possession returned.
00:36:19And somehow he got the idea that you're responsible for taking it from them.
00:36:30Tell you what, I might know a guy who's got a big selection of salsa.
00:36:37Very hot.
00:36:40And does any of that salsa speak fluent English and look like this?
00:36:50Give me your phone.
00:36:56I'm giving you an address.
00:37:01You ain't get this from me.
00:37:03Now get out of here.
00:37:23Well, this is nice.
00:37:26How long have you had it?
00:37:28About a year.
00:37:31Get good gas mileage.
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:38So you going somewhere, or you just need a minute here?
00:37:45I'm not sure yet.
00:37:49Look, man, I know you take pride in your work, but everyone has an off day.
00:37:53Or a month.
00:37:56Look, we all know you're good at what you do.
00:37:58It's not just what I do.
00:38:00It's who I am.
00:38:02I'm the guy who understands tech, and that makes me valuable.
00:38:07Without it, nobody calls Kevin.
00:38:10Nobody needs Kevin.
00:38:11Kevin doesn't matter.
00:38:12That's not true.
00:38:14I've been to your house three times.
00:38:17Was it ever to hang out?
00:38:19Watch the game?
00:38:21Or did you need help fixing a tech problem?
00:38:24I think Chris, the only time she ever acknowledged me at East Bank PD was when she needed tech help.
00:38:33When I was younger and in school, I used to sit alone with a laptop at lunch.
00:38:41Like, then it was the nerdy, introverted thing to do.
00:38:46Now, as an adult in the business world, it's useful, so I actually have a few friends.
00:38:55But when I keep letting people down, I...
00:39:00What else do I have to offer?
00:39:06A lot of people find their identity in their work, and they allow it to define them.
00:39:18And I know you guys joke about me quoting scripture all the time.
00:39:22You know about that?
00:39:24Come on.
00:39:25What do I do for a living?
00:39:26Of course I know.
00:39:28And don't think that I don't slip them in once in a while just to mess with you.
00:39:34But I want you to hear me out.
00:39:39There are over a hundred verses that talk about what defines who you are and where your identity comes from,
00:39:46and none of them say it's your job.
00:39:52Your true identity, Kevin, is not what you say you are.
00:39:58It's who God says you are.
00:40:03And he loves you very much.
00:40:11I mean, I could quote a few for you right now if you really want me to.
00:40:14No.
00:40:16No, that's all right.
00:40:18But if you do want to slip them in once in a while, that'd be all right.
00:40:23Earn me a few extra points.
00:40:29I want you to take some time, just get your head straight, and we'll welcome you back when you're ready.
00:40:35And I am not accepting your resignation.
00:40:51Look, if we're going to take these types of cases, we need a tech guy who's top tier.
00:40:55Yeah, well, Travis really trusts Kevin.
00:40:58And I like him too.
00:40:59But let's face it, he's dropping the ball every time he gets it.
00:41:03Do you know anyone from the bureau we could call?
00:41:05No, not off the top of my head.
00:41:07I burned a lot of bridges there.
00:41:10I do have a really bad idea, though.
00:41:15Someone we could call.
00:41:20No.
00:41:20No, no, no, no, no way.
00:41:23He is unprofessional and gross and...
00:41:27Good.
00:41:29Boyer, he's really good.
00:41:31Well, he said he would never work with you again.
00:41:32I know, but...
00:41:35But if you called him, turn on the charm, soften your voice.
00:41:39I mean, he's got a weak spot for female attention.
00:41:42You are not asking me to do this.
00:41:45I think I am.
00:42:00Arriving, your destination will be on the left.
00:42:40I think he's going to be on the right.
00:42:48Just sit around.
00:42:52Mr. Travis, if you weren't there, how do you know this part of the story?
00:42:56Because she told me.
00:42:59Christy Tana told you?
00:43:00No, her mom.
00:43:01Why are we wasting time?
00:43:03We? You're the one drawing the story out?
00:43:05Well, most investigators understand that details are important, but maybe you didn't take that class.
00:43:10Okay, gentlemen.
00:43:11That's pretty rich coming from a PI.
00:43:12Gentlemen.
00:43:12Gentlemen, what do you mean gentlemen? He's the one being difficult.
00:43:14Gentlemen.
00:43:15Okay, okay. How about we take a recess for a few minutes? Let's grab some fresh air, okay?
00:43:22I'll leave until we're finished.
00:43:26Why don't we just order some food at least?
00:43:29Mr. Travis?
00:43:32You guys do what you need to do.
00:43:34How about we just get Susan in here to take a break?
00:43:36All right, it's a good idea. All right, let's do that.
00:43:38All right, please. Continue.
00:43:45Is he gonna pay attention?
00:43:47Oh, uh, I can do two things at once. I'm texting for food.
00:43:51Oh, well then, I'll wait.
00:43:54Thank you. Very generous.
00:44:02You know, it's like they put the grease on these things with an ulterior motive.
00:44:09Maybe there's some napkins.
00:44:12Like, I bet they're rolling around in bed with the napkin makers.
00:44:15Maybe so.
00:44:16Can we get you anything else?
00:44:18Yeah, you got any, um, energy drinks or tall boys? I have kind of parched.
00:44:21Yeah, I'll go see what we have.
00:44:22No, no, no. You stay. Let him go.
00:44:25You invited me here and your presence helps me stay, um, motivated.
00:44:30All right, come on now.
00:44:32I'll have Abby get you something.
00:44:34Whatever.
00:44:35Who's that?
00:44:36Wait, is she the cutie up front with the...
00:44:38Can we just stay focused on the search?
00:44:41Please.
00:44:42Oh, you mean the hunt for Heather?
00:44:43Yeah, I already found her.
00:44:45You traced her location?
00:44:47No, but I did you one better than that.
00:44:49I got a couple buddies that own a surveillance company.
00:44:52Everything's stored in the cloud one way or another.
00:44:55And, uh, whoops, can be scanned with facial recognition if you got the right friends.
00:45:00And our girl Heather here has been frequenting Ricky's Grocery Mart in Fillmore, Texas
00:45:06every Thursday night for the past three weeks between 8 and 9.
00:45:11She's a creature of habit.
00:45:14Micah clock.
00:45:20If you leave now, you just might be able to catch her tonight.
00:45:35You're not carrying a gun, are you?
00:45:37No.
00:45:38But I wish I was.
00:45:42We should split up and canvas more of the store that way.
00:45:44Well, if you see her, let me be the one to make contact.
00:45:47You know, having a man approach you in the middle of the night is not an encounter that
00:45:50women appreciate.
00:45:51What are you saying about me?
00:45:52I think many women would be thrilled to have someone like me approach them.
00:45:57Oh, yeah?
00:45:58What does Mary think about that?
00:46:01You can make first contact.
00:46:03I thought so.
00:46:27Those lemons are a lot smaller than they used to be.
00:46:42Can I help you find something?
00:46:43No, thank you.
00:47:06Ma'am, is everything all right?
00:47:07Yeah, I'm fine.
00:47:08I'm just looking for someone.
00:47:27Yeah, there's two of them.
00:47:29It looks like they're following her.
00:47:32All right.
00:47:39Where is she?
00:47:40She was right here.
00:47:41Was it her?
00:47:41A hundred percent.
00:47:42She looked right at me.
00:47:44Maybe she's back there.
00:47:46Why would she be hiding from us?
00:47:48Because you scared her, like I said.
00:47:50I didn't do anything.
00:47:51I looked at her.
00:47:52Exactly.
00:47:53That's creepy.
00:47:54To look at someone.
00:47:55Okay.
00:47:56I'll go check this area.
00:47:56You go canvas the aisles again.
00:47:58What if she goes out the front?
00:47:59Then watch that area, too.
00:48:21What are you doing back here?
00:48:23This area isn't for customers.
00:48:25I-I told you I was looking for someone.
00:48:28Um, I thought she might be back here.
00:48:31Trina?
00:48:32Are you looking for Trina?
00:48:35Who's Trina?
00:48:53Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:48:55It's okay.
00:48:55Stop.
00:48:56Hey!
00:48:56Are you okay?
00:48:59Keep your eyes closed.
00:49:00Don't open them, okay?
00:49:02Keep them closed.
00:49:05Okay, is it still burning?
00:49:06Yes, it's burning!
00:49:15Yeah.
00:49:16Yeah, thanks for the update.
00:49:18Glad she was able to help.
00:49:19Maybe, uh, save us a lot of work.
00:49:25Hey, uh, when you and Boyer get back,
00:49:27we'll talk about next steps.
00:49:29All right.
00:49:30Thanks.
00:49:31How did you get in here?
00:49:34You shouldn't leave your doors unlocked on the side of town.
00:49:36Oh, come on.
00:49:37This is a nice area.
00:49:41I think I found something.
00:49:44About the daughter?
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47And it led me to a location that I think is a hub.
00:49:51But I can't find any info on it.
00:49:53No tax records, no business accounts,
00:49:56no ownership, nothing.
00:49:57I was hoping your team could do some digging.
00:50:01Why don't you talk to Kevin?
00:50:03That's kind of why I'm here.
00:50:05We're not exactly on the best terms since the breakup.
00:50:08Yeah, you never, uh, told me anything.
00:50:12Gave me a debrief.
00:50:19It's kind of hard to explain.
00:50:21I thought it was going good.
00:50:25I was approaching things in a way that I felt was honoring to God,
00:50:31guarding both of our hearts.
00:50:34And then the relationship just went really dry.
00:50:40Was Kevin approaching it the same way?
00:50:46He's not really in the same place that I am with the spiritual stuff and faith.
00:50:50I mean, but you know him.
00:50:52He's got a heart of gold, tons of great qualities, super sweet.
00:50:58I mean, it just never went any deeper than that.
00:51:04Well, um, he had a big meltdown.
00:51:08And, uh, he quit.
00:51:12Really?
00:51:14Yeah.
00:51:16Something wasn't right.
00:51:18Maybe you need to talk to him.
00:51:20Figure out what's going on.
00:51:22Possibly he could help you with your location, too.
00:51:29What if you come with me?
00:51:33What?
00:51:33Talk to your ex?
00:51:36No.
00:51:38To check out the location.
00:51:40To see what you think.
00:51:41Oh, you are so intent.
00:51:43Don't drag me into this, aren't you?
00:51:45If I talk to Kevin,
00:51:47you'll agree to come with me?
00:51:51Okay.
00:52:13Hold on.
00:52:15Hold on.
00:52:25Good morning, Eric.
00:52:27We, uh, found her.
00:52:29She's here and ready to talk.
00:52:32Heather, she came with you?
00:52:47I went to the police and told them my photo was being used without permission, and I was getting
00:52:54all these random comments and DMs.
00:52:58They opened an investigation, but said it was unlikely anything would come of it.
00:53:04But then, I started getting texts, and people showing up outside my house.
00:53:11And it was really scary, and awful, and...
00:53:15So sorry you had to go through that.
00:53:23It sounds like you were a victim, too.
00:53:25And when they shared your story, I felt so bad, and like I needed to come tell you in person
00:53:34about what happened.
00:53:36No, that really wasn't necessary, but I appreciate it.
00:53:40That was very kind of you.
00:53:42I just really hope you catch whoever is doing it.
00:53:46We'll turn everything over to the authorities, but unfortunately, I don't know how much further
00:53:51we'll be able to take it.
00:53:55It is so strange with you here.
00:53:58I feel like I know you.
00:54:00Obviously, I don't.
00:54:02My husband brought up that once, that there are these men out there who knows how many
00:54:08that thinks they know me.
00:54:10Your husband?
00:54:13Yeah, Michael.
00:54:14His job has him traveling a bunch, so that's why I got the spray.
00:54:20I don't blame you.
00:54:22And it works.
00:54:25Which I'm really sorry about spraying you.
00:54:29The whole ordeal has me freaked out.
00:54:33My neighbor owns the grocery store, and she's familiar with the situation, and that's the
00:54:38only place I've felt safe going.
00:54:41Well, don't worry about him.
00:54:42It wasn't his first time, and it definitely won't be his last.
00:54:47Well, we should probably be going, unless there's anything else.
00:54:51Sure, of course.
00:54:57Um, Trina.
00:55:01Thank you so much for the courtesy of coming out here today, and again, I am so sorry for
00:55:06everything that you've had to go through.
00:55:09Me too.
00:55:10You seem like such a kind person, and I am so sorry.
00:55:28I'm going to slip him my number, just in case there are any follow-up things that,
00:55:33like, we need to talk about.
00:55:38And, uh...
00:55:55Hey.
00:55:56What are you doing here?
00:55:58I heard you quit.
00:56:00Yeah, well, what's it to you?
00:56:02Why would you do that?
00:56:04Did you come here because you actually cared, or did you lock yourself out of your phone
00:56:08again?
00:56:09Because if it's the phone, let's just jump right to that.
00:56:12What is your deal, Kevin?
00:56:15First you quit on Travis, and now you're being a jerk.
00:56:19And you never even gave me an explanation while we broke up.
00:56:22You didn't have any objections.
00:56:25What was I supposed to say?
00:56:27No, you can't break up with me?
00:56:28The fact that you need me to spell out why we broke up is just mind-boggling to me.
00:56:33Well, I do.
00:56:35Talk to me like I'm stupid.
00:56:38Okay, fine.
00:56:39You know what?
00:56:41How's this?
00:56:43Did you ever feel like there was something missing from our relationship, like non-existent?
00:56:48Yeah, I did.
00:56:51You never once asked me about my faith, or my beliefs, or God, or any of that.
00:56:56You never once asked.
00:56:58And yeah, that made it hard to connect emotionally when spiritually we're on completely different
00:57:03levels.
00:57:03Oh, right.
00:57:04The missing God-level connection.
00:57:07The excuse you love to make so that nothing physical ever happened between us in 14 months.
00:57:11You know what?
00:57:12It'd be easier to take if you just blamed on a headache.
00:57:16So that was it?
00:57:23Ugh.
00:57:26You may not believe me, but it was a constant battle to not do what everybody else does.
00:57:33But it wasn't an excuse.
00:57:36It was an act of love.
00:57:38Love for you.
00:57:41And love for God.
00:57:43The spiritual, the physical, the emotional, they're all connected.
00:57:47And to separate them for cheap pleasure, it tears people up inside, and I didn't want
00:57:53that for you.
00:57:53Or for me.
00:57:56Is that the same approach you took with the guys who dated before me?
00:58:03That's not fair.
00:58:06You know it changed.
00:58:10Or maybe you don't, because you never cared to ask.
00:58:17Hey.
00:58:18What?
00:58:20Did you need me to fix something?
00:58:23No.
00:58:24It didn't.
00:58:38This relationship drama is interesting, but I'm not understanding the relevance.
00:58:45They're connected.
00:58:47Believe me.
00:58:50Mr. Travis, we both have families.
00:58:51We are already two hours behind.
00:58:53How about we adjourn?
00:58:55We pick this up first thing tomorrow.
00:58:56We finish this tonight.
00:58:59There's nothing we can accomplish here tonight.
00:59:01They can't wait till the morning.
00:59:04What if it was someone you cared about?
00:59:22How long is this going to take?
00:59:24Just keep watching.
00:59:27Kind of like the old days, huh?
00:59:31Could make a spot on the team for you if you want to join us.
00:59:35No, I'm happy where I am.
00:59:37This is just a one-off.
00:59:40So when are you going to tell me about how it went with Kevin?
00:59:43I mean, considering I did introduce you, I think I got a right to know.
00:59:47Yeah, that was pretty much a 2 Corinthians 6.14 situation.
00:59:53I tried, but it's probably for the best.
00:59:59Did he say why he wanted to quit?
01:00:01Hey, look.
01:00:02That's the guy.
01:00:03That's Rico.
01:00:07He's the one who sent me here.
01:00:08We have to do something.
01:00:09Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:00:10Hey, hey.
01:00:10What?
01:00:11You going to chase him?
01:00:12You see something?
01:00:13You say something.
01:00:14We report it to the authorities.
01:00:15We're not the authorities anymore.
01:00:17Are you being for real?
01:00:19She was tied up, Travis.
01:00:24Stop.
01:00:25Stop.
01:00:25This is not her battle.
01:00:27Did you see her?
01:00:28I know.
01:00:30I know.
01:00:31But what?
01:00:32Where's it going to end?
01:00:33You going to rescue a thousand?
01:00:35You going to house them all?
01:00:37Because I'm telling you there's a whole lot more than just her.
01:00:40This is a bigger problem than two former cops can solve.
01:00:44We need to report it.
01:00:49I thought if you saw it with your own eyes, you would have a little compassion.
01:00:53My mistake.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:05No, no, tell me.
01:01:11Come check this out.
01:01:13Tell them what you found.
01:01:14Right.
01:01:15So I've been chatting with this chick, Heather, because apparently she's into me now, too.
01:01:20And I got her to do a file transfer.
01:01:22And based on her IP, I've got an idea of the general vicinity that she, or, you know, maybe it's
01:01:27a dude, who knows, is messaging us from.
01:01:30Pull it up on the screen.
01:01:33Look, it's right here in town.
01:01:35They must have known that Eric was local, and that's why they targeted him.
01:01:38But we can go in and find out who they are now, and stop them from ripping off other people.
01:01:42That's where we just came from.
01:01:44Yeah.
01:01:44Well, then what are we doing here?
01:01:45Let's go.
01:01:46Let's go back.
01:01:47No, that's not what our business does.
01:01:49Look, we're not crime fighters anymore.
01:01:50Well, then maybe we should be.
01:01:53I...
01:01:55I...
01:01:55I...
01:01:56I found something that I think you guys should see.
01:02:00Welcome back, Kevin.
01:02:01Who's this guy?
01:02:03Uh, Harold.
01:02:04This is Kevin, our tech specialist.
01:02:07Oh, the noob that nearly botched the whole operation.
01:02:11Well, good news, Skippy.
01:02:13I found our culprits, so you can shoo.
01:02:17A triangulation based on final hop IPs?
01:02:20Listen, you guys, that method is easily spoofable.
01:02:24Just look at what I found.
01:02:26To us, it appeared that my trace failed because we couldn't see anything.
01:02:30But the logs recorded each hop.
01:02:32When I cross-referenced the addresses with local cell tower data,
01:02:36the source is right outside the city.
01:02:39The trace worked.
01:02:40We just didn't get a visual output.
01:02:42So what, are these the same location?
01:02:44Not even close.
01:02:47So what do you want us to do, Travis?
01:02:50Just turn us over to the authorities?
01:02:52Do all this work just to see it sit on a thumb drive somewhere?
01:02:55Because I'm telling you right now, that's what's going to happen.
01:03:06Which location do we check first?
01:03:08His logs are more than a week old.
01:03:11My data's coming in from a live conversation.
01:03:13My method is much more accurate.
01:03:15Trust me.
01:03:21Boss.
01:03:24We can perform reconnaissance at both locations.
01:03:28Any information we get, we give it to the police, the FBI, whoever.
01:03:32Is that understood?
01:03:33Well, we're going to split up.
01:03:35We're going to hit them both at once.
01:03:37Sounds reasonable.
01:03:39Boy, you're Harold and I can hit his location, and then Travis, you and Kevin hit the secondary
01:03:43spot?
01:03:44Whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:03:46I do my work right here within the cozy confines of my workstation and my chair.
01:03:51I'll keep the scammers engaged in conversation while you commandos put boots on the ground.
01:03:57Well, I trust Kevin's work.
01:04:00Well, I trust Kevin's work, so I'm going with him.
01:04:08You don't even work here.
01:04:10Then you don't have to pay me.
01:04:14Let's go.
01:04:17Let's go.
01:04:53It should be right up here.
01:04:56This doesn't look very promising.
01:04:58Trust me.
01:04:59We're going in the right direction.
01:05:04Go down the dirt road.
01:05:31What's our standard operating procedure?
01:05:33Don't get pepper sprayed.
01:05:40You know we're not in the FBI anymore.
01:05:42I know.
01:05:45But we're still in Texas.
01:06:10What about those silos over there?
01:06:12We can go check them out.
01:06:15I mean, you really think there's an online scammer out of here?
01:06:19It doesn't take a strong signal to send basic messages.
01:06:22And with satellite connectivity...
01:06:24I thought you said you used cell tower data.
01:06:26GPS uses information from multiple sources to determine their locations.
01:06:31If they're using satellite connection...
01:06:33Hey guys!
01:06:35There's a signal over here.
01:06:36...
01:06:37...
01:06:38...
01:06:38...
01:06:41...
01:06:43...
01:06:50...
01:07:04Oh
01:07:09It's showing active traffic now doesn't make any sense sure that device what Travis
01:07:30This doesn't feel like surveillance you're glad that I brought a gun
01:07:45All right guys, we're former FBI. I'm not doing anything
01:07:51On the ground now
01:08:09Go on the ground
01:08:19Our agent working undercover as Rico was head of the operation both of your people were cleared almost immediately that
01:08:26location was used for
01:08:27A two-week sting which included the routing hub the one they used to lure those involved in sophisticated online
01:08:33crimes
01:08:34One of which your tech guy stumbled on and our field office was aware of the heather persona and took
01:08:40over the account to flush out
01:08:41Any conspirators and to warn potential victims
01:08:45How's that working for you?
01:08:47that operation is
01:08:50ongoing
01:08:52Could you tell us about the secondary location in the field?
01:09:19No
01:09:37We've been there, too
01:09:42You cannot erase the first time you see a close-up.
01:09:46Why aren't we doing more to stop it?
01:09:49We are trying.
01:09:51We're doing a lot more now than we used to be.
01:09:55It's complicated, Mr. Travis.
01:09:58What is complicated about it?
01:10:03These are people.
01:10:06These are children. Teenagers.
01:10:20Not to sound harsh, but the conditions you found them in were far better than the ones they had to
01:10:24get through just to arrive here.
01:10:26The ones that speak good English are picked up as soon as we release them.
01:10:31Put to work.
01:10:33The question begs why didn't they try to escape that environment, but where would they go?
01:10:40Even being held captive, they had food, water, and shelter.
01:10:45There's got to be an answer.
01:11:00He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow.
01:11:05And loves the foreigner who lives among you.
01:11:16It gives them shelter and clothing.
01:11:23You did a lot of good. You rescued a lot of people.
01:11:26And we have their handlers in custody now.
01:11:30But your reputation as a legendary P.I. has given this a lot more attention than our higher-ups would
01:11:35have liked.
01:11:38Including the president.
01:11:41So, what is it going to take, Mr. Travis?
01:11:45What do you need to settle this matter?
01:11:48I mean, both of our agencies have taken a black eye on this.
01:11:53But we have been given full autonomy to pursue whatever course of action it takes to make this go away.
01:12:18Do you know where she is?
01:12:24More than likely, yeah.
01:12:27Finding them isn't difficult.
01:12:29It's what happens to them afterwards.
01:12:35I'd like to know where to find her.
01:12:39Please.
01:12:41Please.
01:13:04Did you get it?
01:13:13Are Chris and Kevin coming too?
01:13:16I'm not sure.
01:13:21Hi.
01:13:23Hi.
01:13:24I want to ask you about something I should have asked about a long time ago.
01:13:32I've been wanting to share.
01:13:35Come on in.
01:13:44Let's go get her.
01:14:10I want to ask you about a long time ago.
01:14:15I don't want to ask you about it.
01:14:16I need to ask you about it.
