So Tina moved out. I'm sorry to hear that, Gary. Yeah, she left on Sunday. She say why?
Yeah, she sat up all night watching me sleep and realized I would never change. She got that from you drooling on your pillow. Apparently. How'd she want you to change?
She wanted me to leave the DA's office, go into private practice. That's a big ask. Yeah, she thought I'd be less inclined to point out everything that everyone does wrong, which apparently creates an atmosphere of negativity that sucks the joy out of life. So what are you gonna do?
I don't know. Find a woman who enjoys life with the joy being sucked out--
No, please, don't hurt me. Look, I've got kids. You want my wallet, my watch?
Just take whatever you want. Just, please, don't hurt me. Whoever among you sees evil, let him change it with his hand.
Somebody help! Help, please! Help! Somebody, anybody, please help!
Are you serious?
You were involved in the case that Cate-- you saw her get shot to death?
I wanted to tell you. I didn't--I didn't know. You didn't know what?
I knew that you were upset, and I-- I just thought that I should let it sit for a few days. A few days. And then what?
And then we could talk about it.
Hey, look, Gemma, we can talk about Cate for as long as you need. I understand that this is difficult for you, but you still haven't answered my original question.
What question was that, Omar?
Do you use illegal drugs, Gemma?
[scoffs] Am I your girlfriend, or am I a suspect?
I'm in the FBI. I can't have a girlfriend that does coke. I think you should get the hell out of here right now.
Go. Just go.
Okay.
Hey. Hey. Sorry. What do we know?
Victim's name is Charles Pollan, federal judge. Took one to the back at close range. One of my guys ID'd a .380 casing. ERT can pick it up. Other than that, not a whole hell of a lot. Okay. Surveillance cameras?
Yeah, and we got a witness, a friend who was walking with the judge. Says he saw the shooter.
Hi. Special Agent Bell. This is Special Agent Zidan. We understand you saw the shooter. He was a--a Middle Eastern guy, not tall. Maybe 5'10", average build. Okay, what was he wearing? A blue hoodie with a-- a blue stain on the sleeve. I couldn't see his face because of the COVID mask. Did you happen to see where the shooter came from, what he was doing before he pulled the trigger? Look, I'm an ADA, okay, so I noticed him immediately. He seemed off. Did he say anything to either of you before he pulled the trigger?
No, no, but after when Charles was-- was laying there dead, he-- he leaned in and whispered something to me. He had an accent that sounded like the type that a terrorist would have. Which is what exactly, Somalian, Serbian, Oklahoman?
Arabic. It was Arabic. Okay, you could have just said that.
What did he whisper to you?
"Whoever among you who sees evil, let him"--
I'm sorry. I can't remember the rest. I was scared. He had a gun to my head. Is the rest of the sentence, "Change it with his hand?" Yeah, yeah, that was it. Okay. You've heard that before. From where?
It's the first line of a well-known hadith. It's words attributed to the prophet. Muslims consider them moral guidelines. So he was Muslim. Yeah, it looks that way. Is there any chance that Charles knew the shooter, maybe from a case that he presided over? I don't know, but Charles has been getting a lot of heat these past few weeks. He presided over some pretty polarizing cases. He said he'd been getting a lot of hate mail.
All right, where are we on the footage of the crime scene? It's a lot, but the angles don't really help us. The shooter's face is mostly covered by a mask and hood. I have been scrubbing traffic cams in the immediate vicinity. Found this half a block away. Okay, okay, yeah, this is our shooter. He must have ducked into a subway, because I haven't been able to find any other footage. Well, can you punch in, get facial rec?
Mm. Let me try. No, there's not enough for facial rec to work with. Give me some time. Might be able to clean up the original screen grab. All right, do the best you can and blast it out to the team. All right, so we know his general physical appearance from the eyewitness-- medium height, medium build, 5'10". It's not much, but it's a start. What about the threats Judge Pollan has been receiving?
Marshals office sent over these five letters. All of them seem to have the same handwriting. Check this out. Uh-huh. Mm, "You will pay for the injustice you have brought onto our Muslim brothers and sisters." Short and to the point. Pollan apparently notified the Marshals office. They were about to open up an investigation. Mm-hmm. Well, let's see if we can pull some prints off the envelopes.
FBI. We're looking for Amir Barakzai. Follow me. Amir, there are some people here to see you. Good morning. How can I help you?
I'm Agent Zidan. This is my partner, Agent Bell. We are here to ask you a few questions. About what?
About some threatening letters that you wrote to Judge Pollan. Your fingerprints were on the stamps, so no need to deny it. Wouldn't think of it. I stand by those letters. I have the right to express my disdain or dissent for racism and fascism. That's true. The thing is, Judge Pollan is dead. He was shot. You think that I shot the judge? Well, you were upset enough that you sent him five letters. The son of a bitch just sentenced my friend to ten years for hate speech. He had no right to do that. But I didn't kill him. That's preposterous. It's not that preposterous, because the guy that shot Judge Pollan recited the first two lines of that hadith. Which is a call for Muslims to be moral and courageous, to right wrongs, not murder innocents. Yeah, I know, my grandfather used to read it to me.
Where were you at 8:00 a.m. this morning?
I got here at 7:45. There are plenty of cameras to prove it. We'll take a look. In the meantime, do you recognize this man?
I can't really see his face. Jamila... [speaks Arabic] Jamila pays more attention to people coming and going around here. Do you know this person?
It's hard to tell. I'm not sure. Look, the truth is, we were all angry. Ali got a bad deal. Sure, he went too far, but ten years?
Who's that guy?
That--that's our janitor, Hassan. Okay, he's been watching us since we got here. Thank you.
He's got a gun.
FBI. We have some questions to ask you.
Hey.
Hands on the dresser. You're making a mistake. Hands on the dresser! Do what he says. All right. My--my name is Hassan Khalil. Take it easy.
Hey, hey, hey, take it easy. I'm one of you. I'm FBI.
Maggie. Ladies have to wear heels in Counterterrorism?
You know, sometimes I feel like doing the power woman thing. [chuckles] It's been too long. It has. Good to see you. You too. So you're working with Hassan Khalil. Yeah, he's been undercover at the Islamic Center for three months as a maintenance man. Okay. Why did he run? Doesn't make sense. Jubal called your unit, told him we were on the way. I know. I was in a meeting with my ADIC, and my daughter was sick. She had a stomach bug. Is that it?
It is.
So this is my partner, OA Zidan. This is Jessica Blake. We went to Quantico together. We go back. So other than your unpleasant morning, how is motherhood?
It's amazing. It's the best thing I've ever done by a lot. We can't be sure, but we think someone from the Islamic Center is responsible for the judge's death. Anyone come to mind you think might be capable of doing this?
Killing a judge in broad daylight?
The leader in the clubhouse should be Yardan Qadir. Why him? He's very outspoken. He's very aggressive, very anti-American. And he actually believes the nonsense that he spews. Anything else?
He idolized Fadel Latif, the man who Judge Pollan just locked up. And the kicker is, we think he's working with Yusuf Asghar. The Saudi banker. More like a terrorist. That's why we put Hassan under. Okay. Is this Qadir? Yeah, it could be. I mean, it's hard to tell. It's the same build, same general age, but-- Do you have his address? Negative. He's very good at staying under the radar. I tried to get close for a few months, but I can't get near him.
Are you good to partner on this?
Yeah, sure. Okay, I'm gonna get you set up down the hall, and I'm gonna get the JOC to start digging into Qadir. I've heard your name on more than one occasion. Oh, yeah?
You're a war hero, right?
I don't know about that, but I did serve two tours in Afghanistan. Smart, and you're humble. They like a Muslim agent. You know how to play the game. There's no game, buddy. I'm just doing my job. Ah, you just did it again. All good, bro, I'm just playing. Okay, after you.
All right, Yardan Qadir, people, we need to talk to him, which means we need to find him. So let's dig down. Who is he?
Where does he lay his head at night? Hard to confirm an address or positively ID the guy. No record of a driver's license. No utility bills, internet, cable. Wait, got something, a W-2. There's a Yardan Qadir who works at a restaurant in Williamsburg. Name's pretty unique. High probability it's our guy. All right, let's pay him a visit.
Hello. We're not open. We are not hungry. FBI, we're looking for a Yardan Qadir. He's not here. Then we're gonna need an address. Why?
Are you suggesting he committed a crime?
Where does he live?
He's a good employee. I'll be sure to tell him next time I see him that he's up for employee of the month. I know Qadir can be outspoken, but he has reason to be. What's his address?
All right, there's another way we can do this. I'm more than happy to drag you down to 26 Fed. I'll detain you, and then I'm gonna get a warrant and go through every one of your books, your financial records. Are you threatening me?
You don't tell us where he lives, we're gonna take you in, and I'm gonna shut this place down. Okay. I'll find it for you.
And just to be clear, if we find out that you warned Qadir that we are on our way, we will come back and arrest you for obstruction. Do you understand?
I understand.
Wow, fired up today. I know it's a tough case. Case is a case. That guy was provoking you. I despise extremists, people that apologize for them, Muslim or not. It's not that tough. [scoffs] I had a rough morning. What happened? Got in a fight with Gemma. I told her the truth about Cate, that I was working the case. She got upset. Then I asked her about her drug use, and she told me to get the hell out. Oof. I'm sorry that happened. But-- But what? You know, you gotta get your head back in the case. Rein it in. Jubal, we have a photo ID and a possible address for Qadir.
Federal agents! Federal agents!
Shots fired!
Go, go, go!
It's not Qadir.
Qadir!
Qadir! Drop the gun and come out with your hands up!
And why would I do that?
So you don't have to go to prison for the rest of your life! I am not going to prison!
Dying's not gonna make you a martyr, man. No one even knows who the hell you are. They will after today.
You okay?
Maggie? Yeah. Got a laptop and a flash drive here. Great, bag it. Yeah. Got something.
Check it out.
Hassan was right about this guy. Hey. Any luck with the canvass?
Yeah, I just showed that screengrab of the shooter to a lady down the hall, and she said she just saw a kid, 19, 20 leave this apartment about an hour ago wearing this exact hoodie.
Qadir's not our shooter.
All right, so here's what we know. The caliber of Qadir's guns do not match the murder weapon, and now we have another player who was seen wearing the same hoodie that our shooter was wearing, which means it looks like Qadir might not have shot the judge. So who the hell did? And why were we in the dark about that additional player?
Well, I'm not sure. I've been on Qadir for more than three months. I know that he was trying to create a cell and that he was in bed with the Saudis. But I will go back and check my notes.
Hey, any word from Counterterrorism on the other guy in Qadir's apartment?
No, he is not on any watch list. All right, Ian, how are we doing on Qadir's flash drive?
The encryption's pretty sophisticated. I'm gonna need some more time. Guys, I might have something. Yeah. I've been scrubbing footage from a surveillance cam down the street from Qadir's building. Got a young guy exiting in a blue hoodie about the time the neighbor described. Has he got a mask? No, sir. All right, the angle looks good. Can we get facial rec?
Nothing, no hits. Okay, but we're in the red zone. We have a clean visual.
This is the guy that the neighbor saw leave Qadir's house in the jacket.
Do you know him?
Um, yeah, I recognize him from the center. He's an awkward kid. I don't really know his name. Okay, well, it looks like he's our shooter, so we gotta find him. Okay, yeah, I'll see what I can do.
Okay, what's wrong?
Huh. This doesn't really makes sense. What doesn't make sense?
The whole damn thing.
Okay, we're gonna head back to the neighborhood center.
He's just a teenager. Who we believe murdered a judge. Do you know him?
I do.
He's a good boy, quiet, kind, keeps to himself. This doesn't make sense. Whether it makes sense or not, can you give us his name?
Jubal, we got a name, Adil Kazem.
FBI!
FBI! Papa! Where's your son?
[gasping] Adil, where is he? We don't know where he is.
He's not here. Please don't hurt us.
Bedrooms are clear. Turn them upside down. What the hell is going on?
It's okay. It's okay.
You ever seen your son with a gun?
What? No! Enough with the questions. What exactly has our son done?
We believe that he shot and killed a federal judge this morning. Not possible. Adil is a kind soul. He's never even raised his voice to anyone. Okay, well, he's found his voice, and we need to find him before anything else happens. Hey! Where's Adil now? He was here for about an hour this afternoon, but he left. Did he mention anything about where he was going or what he was doing? No.
Mrs. Kazem. What is it?
Adil has been not entirely himself lately. Okay, what do you mean not himself?
Stop talking. Our son has always been lonely, but he made a new friend, older, a man. And he told Adil awful things. He seems dangerous.
My wife is right. Whatever you think Adil may have done, it's this man you're looking for. Do you have a name?
No, he wouldn't tell us. Did he come from the Islamic Center?
Yes. Is this him, Yardan Qadir?
No. Do you know what he looks like? I only saw him a few times talking to Adil outside. Not too tall, average build, about your age. He had long sideburns. He gave Adil lots of things to read, things that made him ask questions about how this country treats Muslims.
Big "Harry Potter" fan. Casting spells is a long way from killing judges. A charging cable over here but no sign of a laptop. Yeah, I don't see one, either.
Tiff, look at this.
"Adil, this will help you see what Yardan Qadir sees, "that action against our enemies is a moral necessity.
Hassan, we need to talk. Yeah, off in a bit. Now. I'll call you back in a bit. What is it? What the hell is going on? What are you talking about?
You know Adil.
The way you looked at the screengrab, I knew something was up, but now I know the way the parents described you. And we found the manifesto and a note signed with the letter H. Hassan, it's time to come clean.
Yeah, I know the kid. I befriended him as part of my cover. He was receptive. You told us that you did not know his name.
Adil is a nice kid. He's not a killer. At least that's what I thought. And then when you-- when you showed me the pictures, I couldn't believe it. So I wanted to contact him myself and then see if he was really involved. And?
Did you get in touch with him?
No, I couldn't get him on his phone. And you didn't tell us that, either, none of that.
I panicked. I knew I screwed up, so I wanted to fix the problem. So what really happened here, Hassan?
Did you turn this kid Adil into a terrorist? Did you push him so hard he finally took action?
No, that's not fair. I was trying to build a case. I did what I had to do, and I was grooming an informant. I didn't push that kid to shoot somebody. I wanted to use him to penetrate Qadir's cell. I told Adil that he was marble and that Qadir would be his sculptor. And he just--he ate it up, so I ran with it. The kid was lost. He was a soldier looking for a mission, so I gave him that.
You don't get the kind of pressure that I was under.
I should have told you about Adil. I apologize. But you don't need to make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. I know the kid. I know the world. I will make this right. I get it, Hassan. I do. But you really screwed up, man. Okay?
Do not withhold information from me or any other agent again.
Hey, JOC's up to speed.
Everything okay?
Yes, everything's fine.
Let's get this Adil kid fast. All right.
Tell me we're close, Ian. We need to get inside Qadir's drive, find out who he's working with, see if he's got anything else planned. Let's go, let's go. I am almost-- I'm in. Yeah? Great. Huh, looks like he used the drive to back up his cell info. Yeah, I got something. "Allah has gifted us a new warrior. "Killing Judge Pollan was just the start. By this afternoon, the whole world will know his name." Looks like Adil is launching another attack, people. We just braced the parents again, and they're not cooperating. According to them, their son is a victim as well. Okay, well, let's figure out who Qadir texted. Who owns the phone? Ian, can you locate it?
On it. Okay, I've got a location for the burner that Qadir communicated with this morning. Thornton & Tanner Fabrics. Burner has been there for the past 30 minutes. All right, you want us to go down now?
No, no, we need more information. Elise, start scrubbing surveillance and traffic cams for when the phone arrived. We need to ID who owns it.
Okay, here you go.
Yeah. This one. Push in. Run facial rec.
Got it. Okay. Name is Yusuf Asghar. The Saudi banker. All right, we'll go now. No, no, he won't talk. The guy is a total pro. I think it's worth a shot. He's probably the only other person who knows when and where the next target is. Maggie, she's right. He's not gonna cooperate. So let's talk to him in a different way. A different way. Well, Asghar doesn't know what the warrior looks like. There's no way he's ever met Adil. So let's use that to our advantage.
Tiff and Scola are inside. I'll go in first. You wait a minute and then come in, okay?
Yeah...
What?
No matter what happens in there, no matter what Jessica says, do not pull me out.
I'll give you your space, but I can't promise anything. I made this mess. You gotta let me clean it up. Now, trust me. I know what I'm doing. Please.
Okay. OA, do you copy?
You cut out for a second. Yep, everything's fine. I'm going in now.
Here we go.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I'm Adil. I need to speak to Mr. Asghar. He knows who I am. Tell him I'm the warrior.
Sit.
How did you know to come here?
Qadir, he-- Qadir who?
I do not know anyone by that name. Yardan Qadir.
I killed the judge, just like Qadir told me to do. And then he said he had another assignment, and I went back to his place, but there were cops all over, so I ran.
I wanna finish my mission, but I don't know what it is.
Do you think I am stupid?
He's testing you. No, of course not. I revere you, just like Qadir does. I don't wanna fail him. He gave me purpose. And he said I was a gift from Allah. I owe him everything.
Why did Qadir think you were a gift from Allah?
I told him that I was a piece of marble and that he was a great sculptor. And I asked him to make me into someone that Allah would love. Would you martyr yourself for Allah?
I'd do anything for Allah.
Then do it.
Martyr yourself.
You guys, Asghar just gave him a gun.
Hassan, get out.
Hassan, abort.
OA, you gotta get him out of there right now. Let's let it play out.
There is a ceremony this afternoon in Brooklyn for an American soldier who killed our people in Iraq.
You will go there and repay the favor.
Thank you.
We got him. We got the banker. You guys, take him.
FBI, step aside.
FBI, put your hands up. What the hell are you doing?
Turn around.
Sorry, pal, bank's closed today. What the hell was that, Hassan?
How'd you know that gun wasn't loaded?
Well, it felt unbalanced. Silencer made it front heavy, like the magazine was empty. You felt all that?
I could tell he was bluffing. I could see it in his eyes. Mm. I don't think you could.
OA, why would Asghar wanna kill someone willing to do anything for his cause?
It makes no sense. I'm an asset. You wanna know what I think? I think that you got really lucky in there, man. Really lucky.
What difference does it make?
We got the information. Let's just get the hell out of here and find Adil.
All right, everybody spread out. Keep in contact over the comms. If anyone sees Adil, don't be shy. All right, a lot of possible targets, a lot of looky-loos. This could get ugly. There's a congresswoman. Let's go talk to her.
Congresswoman Delillo, Special Agent Bell. This is my partner, Agent Zidan. Nice of you to join us. What can I do for you?
We have information that suggests there's gonna be a terrorist attack on the ceremony. Are you kidding me?
Who? What group?
It's a local cell that we just dismantled, but the lone remaining survivor shot the federal judge. Ah, I heard about that. It's just awful. Yeah, you need to shut this down. You can reschedule the ceremony after we apprehend the suspect.
I appreciate the heads-up, but that's not going to happen. Why not?
James Minardi was never intimidated by terrorists. He believed that's how you lost the war, so we won't be, either. Besides, if it's just one guy, I feel pretty safe with all these men here.
Ma'am, there are a lot of people here, families with kids, so with all due respect, that is a terrible idea. I'm not canceling the ceremony. We can start it?
Hello, everyone, and thank you for coming. I wanna start by thanking all of the veterans I see here today and all the military families who have gathered to celebrate one of their own. I'd like to especially thank James Minardi's brothers-in-arms who are here with us today and his family, who must be so proud of the hero they raised. As for me, I am humbled to be here... Hey, guys, I got eyes on Adil. [Delillo continuing indistinctly] Northwest side of the triangle. He's headed towards the congresswoman.
Excuse me.
Adil.
Just stop.
Just need you to stay where you are. Put your hands up, okay?
Just stay where you are, okay, buddy?
You lying traitor!
I need an ambulance. Hassan, are you okay? 我需要救護車。Hassan，你有冇事？
[groans] Get down! [呻吟] 趴低！
Move! 郁！
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine. Go around back. 你有冇事？係，我冇事。兜去後面。
Adil! Adil！
It's over! 玩完㗎喇！
I need you to put the gun down, and come out with your hands up. 我要你放低支槍，舉高雙手行出嚟。
Your parents love you, man. They want you to come home. 兄弟，你父母好愛你。佢哋想你返屋企。
I just need you to talk to me. 我剩係想你同我傾下。
This is Agent Zidan. I need an ambulance to my location. 我係探員 Zidan。我需要救護車嚟我位置。
Appreciate what you did. You saved my life. I didn't have a choice. That's one way to put it. 感激你做嘅嘢。你救咗我一命。我冇得揀。你咁講都得嘅。
What? 咩話？
They dusted Adil's gun for prints, and they found yours on the grip underneath Adil's. [clears throat] Means you touched it first. You gave Adil the gun, didn't you? 佢哋喺 Adil 支槍度搵指模，發現你嘅指模响槍柄度，喺 Adil 嗰層下面。[清喉嚨] 即係話你摸過支槍先。你畀支槍 Adil，係咪？
Like I said, I was trying to build up his confidence, you know, make him legit. He was the best way to crack Qadir's cell. So you got inside of a lonely kid's head, convinced him to hate America, and then gave him a gun. No, that kid was nervous about approaching Qadir. He kept on talking about wanting a gun for his own security, so I-- it was all in the service of taking down a terrorist. 咪好似我頭先咁講，我係想建立佢嘅信心，令佢扮得似層層。佢係滲入 Qadir 個組織嘅最好方法。即係你走咗入一個孤獨嘅𡃁仔個腦入面，說服佢憎美國，然後畀支槍佢。唔係，個𡃁仔對於行近 Qadir 好緊張。佢成日喺度講想要支槍傍身，所以我——呢一切都係為咗要拉個恐怖分子。
But it was a bad call. It was a really bad call, Hassan. Really bad. Don't judge me, Omar. [scoffs] I didn't go to West Point. I'm not on the cover of some marketing brochure. I'm just a regular old Muslim kid from Brooklyn who snuck in the back door 'cause they needed people who speak Arabic. 但係呢個決定好差。呢個決定真係好差，Hassan。好差。唔好審我，Omar。[嘲笑] 我又冇讀過西點軍校。我又唔係咩宣傳單張上面嘅封面人物。我只係一個布魯克林出身嘅普通穆斯林𡃁仔，靠佢哋需要識講阿拉伯文嘅人，先至走後門入嚟。
I need to work harder. I need to build cases. Otherwise, I'm-- 我要再努力啲。我要建立多啲案件。否則，我就會——
I can explain the fingerprint. I can tell them that they made a mistake about the layering. Are you asking me to lie for you? 我可以解釋個指紋。我可以同佢哋講係佢哋搞錯咗個紋理層疊。你係咪叫我幫你講大話？
No, I'm asking you to understand why I did what I did. 唔係，我只係想你明白我點解會咁做。
I'm looking at you, brother. [grunts] Do not do that brother thing. I don't play that game, either. OA, you don't understand what it's like. No, I do, Hassan. I didn't have it as easy as you think. Trust me. I caught the same crap. I got the same looks and the same stupid jokes. I just--I just never used it as an excuse, man. 我望住你，兄弟。[低哼] 唔好同我扮細佬哥。我都唔受呢套。OA，你唔明嗰種感受。唔係，我明，Hassan。我並唔係你想像中咁輕鬆。信我。我都受過同樣嘅冤屈。我承受過同樣嘅眼光同無聊笑話。我只係——我只係從來冇用呢樣嘢做藉口，兄弟。
I'm an FBI agent, not a Muslim FBI agent. 我係 FBI 探員，而唔係穆斯林 FBI 探員。
Okay. Tell yourself that. But the truth is, when everybody looks at you, they see a Muslim first. 好。你咁樣同自己講啦。但係事實係，當每個人望住你，佢哋首先見到嘅係穆斯林。
Agent Khalil, Bill Garner, Office of Professional Responsibility. We have to ask you a few questions. You have the right to contact the agents' association for legal representation. Khalil 探員，我係專業責任辦公室嘅 Bill Garner。我哋要問你幾個問題。你有權聯絡探員工會尋求法律代表。
How are you feeling? 你覺得點？
Okay, is this about Hassan or Gemma? 好，呢單嘢係關於 Hassan 定 Gemma？
This is about me. 係關於我。
When people ask you about me, what do you say? How do you describe me? 當啲人問起你關於我，你會點講？你會點樣形容我？
I say you're a great partner. 我會話你係個好好嘅拍檔。
You're kind and smart and loyal and courageous. 你善良、聰明、忠誠同勇敢。
Well, and I mean, depending on who's asking, I also say tall and reasonably handsome. 嗯，我嘅意思係，視乎邊個問，我都會話你高同埋都算幾靚仔。
Good night. Night. 早唞。早唞。
