In or out, pal?

3
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:52,419
Hey, Aisha? Remember me?

4
00:00:52,485 --> 00:00:55,822
[gasping] Ew, what is that?

5
00:01:02,762 --> 00:01:04,964
You reap what you sow.

6
00:01:21,347 --> 00:01:24,784
I mean, I prefer mine as a liquid. [chuckles] Yeah, it's a lot, isn't it?

7
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:31,891
[chuckling] Yeah. [chuckles] Well, you know how sometimes people have nightmares about showing up to work naked?

8
00:01:31,958 --> 00:01:41,534
That's not a thing. Oh, it's a thing. Except with me, I show up to the dispatch center and I just can't. Can't what?

9
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:53,580
I can't answer calls quick enough, I can't mobilize the right responses, and people suffer for it. Hence the sugar rush. Mm. No such thing as easing into the day. I hear you.

10
00:01:55,815 --> 00:02:01,221
So look, I wanted to do this in person. I mean, Lord knows I have enough serious conversations on the phone.

11
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:15,869
It's just, the whole time you were undercover, I was worried. I didn't know who to call or if you were okay. I-I was okay. Right. But, see, I didn't know that.

12
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:23,543
Look, all I'm saying is that I am working without a net here, okay?

13
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:32,151
I mean, you went dark for three weeks. And... I don't know, it was tough for me. [phone buzzing] I hear you.

14
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:41,094
I've gotta take this. I promise we'll finish this conversation. Hello?

15
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:49,769
[indistinct radio chatter] [car doors shut] Well, he works for 911 Dispatch. Didn't he understand the risk?

16
00:02:49,836 --> 00:03:00,146
He struggles with the undercover part. Well, this job is a big part of who I am. Gemma all right with it? I guess so. Hey, Scola. Hey. What do we got?

17
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:19,399
Every time I think people can't get any crueler, some psycho tells me to hold their beer. Our victim's name's Aisha Malik, 25-year-old Pakistani American. Rents a studio apartment upstairs. Stepped off the B48 bus, attacker followed her, doused her in some sort of gel petrochemical. Like napalm?

18
00:03:19,465 --> 00:03:25,438
Pretty much. Set her on fire, watched her burn. How'd he get his hands on napalm?

19
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:31,744
Well, ERT thinks it was homemade. But either way, a chemical attack means this one's ours. Are there any witnesses?

20
00:03:31,811 --> 00:03:38,251
A couple rushed over, tried to douse out the flames with water. Just made the chemical fire worse. Did they describe the attacker?

21
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:49,562
Yeah, average height, build. Black coat, ski mask. Said, "You reap what you sow." One of the witnesses overheard him tell her that while he watched her burn, so whoever he is, he had it out for her.

22
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:56,869
That security cam should fill in the blanks.

23
00:04:07,847 --> 00:04:21,494
Okay, pause it there. So our--our masked assailant, who I'm gonna go out on a limb and call a coward, followed his victim, Aisha Malik, home and burnt her alive. So did anyone see anything in the footage that can help us ID him?

24
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:40,546
Messenger bag. It's available at any big box store. Same for the mason jar used to transport the napalm. And no luck with adjacent security cameras tracking his escape, seeing where he slithered off to? Uh, one block south, he goes into Fort Greene Park, where he disappears into the crowd. Come on, guys. It's not good enough. Aisha was brutally targeted. We owe it to her family to bring this attacker to justice.

25
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:46,185
You see something?

26
00:04:46,252 --> 00:04:50,123
Ian, can you scrub back a bit? Do you have audio? I wanna hear what he says.

27
00:04:52,291 --> 00:04:56,796
The way she turns back to her attacker. Audio is loading now.

28
00:04:58,297 --> 00:05:01,234
Hey, Aisha? Remember me?

29
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:18,251
Like she knows him, but they're not necessarily friends. You can hear it in his voice. He's hoping she remembers him. So new angle: Aisha Malik's attacker may have been known to her. He knew her schedule, he waited for her at her bus, so let's work our way back from the victim. What do we know about Aisha?

30
00:05:18,317 --> 00:06:14,040
She is the daughter of Pakistani immigrants. I scoured her text messages. Nothing popped out. Uh, her socials are more telling. These are from last year. And these are from the last three months. Hmm. A young woman exploring her newfound independence. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. No, not at all. In fact, her follower count ballooned. But the, uh, rebrand seems to have upset her Muslim followers. Some have even made threats. So we're thinking she could have been targeted for her progressive shift, like some kind of honor killing. It would explain why her attacker used the words "reap what you sow." Just to say it, honor killings are not an Islamic thing. And they barely happen in the U.S. He's right. They are rare in the U.S. But they do happen in Pakistan. And Aisha's brother, Ahmed, is on the Interpol terror watch list. He traveled to Pakistan last year. They fear he was radicalized over there. Okay, where--where is he now?

31
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:19,479
LKA is a home in Queens belonging to Shariq Malik, his father.

32
00:06:23,716 --> 00:06:54,147
I was afraid when she said she was moving out. [sniffles] It's my fault. Jaanu, no. Mr. and Mrs. Malik, it's likely that Aisha's attack wasn't at random. We noticed that she stopped wearing her hijab in photos she posted on social media that may have offended some people. You think another Muslim did this? What Muslims in this country will light a girl on fire for dressing as other Americans do?

33
00:06:55,615 --> 00:07:07,727
You said your son wasn't home. When are you expecting him? I'm afraid he's a person of interest in this case. We've already lost one child today. Now you want to take away another?

34
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:26,813
We just need to ask him some questions. He is on a watchlist. That was a misunderstanding. Ahmed was in Pakistan for a wedding. And he was on video carrying an AK-47. And he punched an Interpol agent in the face who was questioning him. In self-defense. Which is why they let him go.

35
00:07:28,581 --> 00:07:35,988
You think you know my son because of what's on your computer. But he would never harm his sister.

36
00:07:38,224 --> 00:07:42,161
Mrs. Malik, do you have something to say?

37
00:07:42,228 --> 00:08:05,718
They have been fighting. Two days ago, I heard shouting. Aisha wouldn't say what it was about, but she was upset. He broke the screen of her phone. We do have a warrant to search his room. He stays out back in the garage. It should be open.

38
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:17,263
See those family photos? Not one person was smiling. Yeah, I grew up around conservative families like that. The kids just speak formally at home so they don't rock the boat. Hmm. Zidans like that?

39
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,932
No, we shouted it out. [sighs]

40
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:29,242
Ahmed Malik, FBI! I'll flank him. Yeah.

41
00:08:39,217 --> 00:08:41,721
[engine revving] [tires screech]

42
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,764
I didn't do anything! Then why'd you run?

43
00:08:51,831 --> 00:08:57,970
I'm a bearded Muslim with "Pakistan" stamped on my passport. FBI comes knocking, it ain't to be nice. Where were you this morning?

44
00:08:58,037 --> 00:09:06,946
Volunteering at the mosque. Not that a munafiq like him would understand. What's that mean? A hypocrite. What, because I'm in the FBI, it makes me less Muslim?

45
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:08,514
Is that why you killed your sister?

46
00:09:08,581 --> 00:09:11,317
She wasn't Muslim enough?

47
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:13,152
W-what--what are you saying?

48
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,254
Where's Aisha? What happened to my sister?

49
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:18,491
She was murdered this morning. What?

50
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:27,366
Your mother said that you had a confrontation recently. What? And you think I would-- I would do this to her, to my baby sister?

51
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:28,634
"You reap what you sow."

52
00:09:31,437 --> 00:09:33,272
I--I don't know what that means.

53
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:50,423
We believe that the person who killed your sister disapproved of her lifestyle. You're at the mosque all day. She's modern. You're fighting. Yeah, we--we-- we fought, but... I was looking out for her.

54
00:09:51,857 --> 00:10:03,502
Look. My--my friend matched with Aisha on some dating app. He showed me her profile. Bikini pics, alcohol. I'm not stupid. I know what kind of guy that attracts.

55
00:10:05,204 --> 00:10:08,474
I had to rip the phone out of her hand to delete the damn thing.

56
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:19,585
Look, my sister is a good kid. And I love her. And if she got mixed up with someone, it's on that app.

57
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:26,759
Yeah, thanks for showing me. All right, so what do we know about this dating app Aisha was supposedly on?

58
00:10:26,826 --> 00:10:31,864
It's called SCORCH. Depending on who you ask, it's either famous or infamous for its gimmick. Which is?

59
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:42,441
Women rate the men they've dated based on categories like hygiene, respect level, rizz. Yeah, lower your rating, less likely you are to get matches in the future. All right, but the app was not on Aisha's phone, right?

60
00:10:42,508 --> 00:11:14,206
Because her brother was telling the truth. He did delete the app off of her phone two days ago. Had to reinstall it to see this. Yeah, she had over two dozen matches in her DMs. But Aisha's exchanges with this guy paint a dark picture. "Hello, beautiful. "You're so easy to talk to. I love the way your mind works." Seems like a nice enough guy. He's a little overconfident, but nice enough. Yeah, it looked like Aisha felt the same. She seemed to enjoy the attention. Then she stops responding because her brother deleted the app and Patrick's tone changes. Okay. "You think you can ghost me?

61
00:11:14,273 --> 00:11:37,663
"You're just another shallow bitch who's gonna get what's coming to her." Tell me you got a name for our jaded suitor. Yeah. Facial rec ID'd him as Patrick Hammond, 36, manager of a high-end gym in SoHo called Warm Up. Okay, ping him, bring him in. I already tried. Phone's off. Wait a sec. I flagged the credit card that he used to purchase his SCORCH subscription. It's prepaid. And it just booked a suite at the Filmore. Get our team down there right now.

62
00:11:42,668 --> 00:11:46,672
FBI. Special Agent Bell. This is Special Agent Zidan. What's going on?

63
00:11:46,739 --> 00:11:48,207
Fire reported on the seventh floor.

64
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:52,178
Suite 717? How'd you know?

65
00:11:52,244 --> 00:12:00,419
It's linked to an active investigation. When was it called in? 20 minutes ago. Luckily, it was localized in the room. My guys were able to put it out. Thank you.

66
00:12:01,987 --> 00:12:07,126
FBI. She was in the room doused with some kind of accelerant. She gonna pull through?

67
00:12:07,193 --> 00:12:13,732
Fourth-degree burns and severe smoke inhalation injuries. How much you wanna bet it was napalm?

68
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:21,307
All right, have NYPD clear the building in case the suspect's still in there. I'm gonna call the JOC, tell them this guy's on a spree. Okay.

69
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:43,229
Listen up. I am briefing the director in ten minutes on today's chemical attacks, so I have exactly five for you to catch me up to speed. All right, that's your cue, people. Who wants a gold star? Elise?

70
00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:55,374
Uh, suspect reached the hotel's seventh floor at 11:21, then knocked on suite 717. When our second victim answered... We know what happened next. And what does the evidence show us?

71
00:12:55,441 --> 00:13:03,048
ERT confirmed the same homemade napalm was used in the hotel and the Aisha Malik attack. So the weapons were the same. What about the MO?

72
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:16,695
The second victim, Brenda Clark, just passed away on the way to Langone. Oh, hey, hey. Ran a semantic smart search of her phone, found mention of the Filmore in her SCORCH DMs, where she was messaging with-- Yeah, yeah, yeah, Patrick Hammond. Same dating app, same profile. What was Hammond up to?

73
00:13:16,762 --> 00:13:49,128
Well, looks like he earned Brenda's trust over the last few weeks. DMs got hot and heavy. Then he invited her to the hotel. Said to check in, meet her in suite 717. He--he didn't invite her to the hotel. He lured her there and you can be damn sure he would have done the same to Aisha if her brother had not deleted the SCORCH app from her phone. Right. So Hammond switched up his MO, tracked Aisha down, and then attacked her outside of her home. Issue a BOLO. If there is a rock in the city that Hammond could crawl under, I want a uniform checking under it. You might wanna hold off on that. What? DHS got something?

74
00:13:49,195 --> 00:13:57,069
Yeah, seems Patrick Hammond just passed through TSA at LaGuardia. One-way ticket to Seoul. He's fleeing. Port Authority, do not let him get on that plane!

75
00:14:04,710 --> 00:14:13,452
This is crazy. I don't know either of these women and I'm not on any dating apps. Okay. Then what's that?

76
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:22,861
I've never seen that before. And this guy's dating women. I don't--[sighs] Even bat for that team.

77
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:31,003
Well, you sent a message to Brenda Clark saying that you couldn't wait to look into her eyes. Are you people listening?

78
00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:35,608
Yes, that is my picture, but I didn't have anything to do with these murders.

79
00:14:40,479 --> 00:15:09,441
What's up? Hey, uh, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think our suspect may be telling the truth. You know how the attacker used the same prepaid credit card to pay for SCORCH and book the hotel? Kelly reached out to the store that sold the card, and they just sent us a security cam image of the purchase. Angle's not great for facial rec, but one thing is clear. We got the wrong guy. So our killer is using Patrick's photo to catfish women on SCORCH. Okay. Well, let's show this to him. Maybe he can shed some light. Yeah, it's worth a try.

80
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:15,347
That's Austin. You know him?

81
00:15:15,414 --> 00:15:26,692
I mean, we're not friends. He worked at my gym until a few months ago. Okay, well, he's obviously using your name and your face to catfish women online for a reason. Because I'm attractive.

82
00:15:28,294 --> 00:15:34,500
If--if he wanted to do this to women, I bet I'm the bait that he would need. He could have picked any good-looking photo.

83
00:15:36,135 --> 00:15:54,119
You said Austin worked at the gym. What happened? I fired him. He was always creeping on the female members, hitting on them, so I reprimanded him. The guy went nuts. He started screaming in my face, called me a "white knight," even took a swing at me. I didn't have a choice. What's his address?

84
00:16:19,678 --> 00:16:21,146
OA?

85
00:16:36,428 --> 00:16:37,763
The stuff for the napalm.

86
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:46,939
Maggie. It looks like our guy shaved his head.

87
00:16:51,777 --> 00:16:57,249
And he knows that we're here. What? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's erasing this remotely. I can't stop it.

88
00:16:59,251 --> 00:17:04,021
Hold on, hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What?

89
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:06,191
He can't erase it if it's not running.

90
00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:13,464
Maggie's solution was unconventional but effective. So you were able to salvage the data from Austin's laptop?

91
00:17:13,531 --> 00:18:13,358
Some of it, and it is not pretty. Browsing history paints the picture of an isolated and angry male. Lots of violent pornography plus how to make napalm, chemical weapons. Then there's this. He was an active poster on BLKPILL. BLKPILL? I--I can't say I know this one. It's a messaging board for incels, involuntary celibates. Young men who believe they're unable to attract women. There are different kinds, but black-pilled incels are especially hostile to women because they consider themselves to be victims of genetics. Now, it seems that Austin tried to use SCORCH last year. But after a few bad dates, his match rating dropped. That's when he deleted the dating app and he started hate-posting against women. So Austin's online anger escalated to real-world violence. Women reject him on the app, he starts killing in real life. He created the catfish account using Patrick Hammond's photo, then he astroturfed his rating using fake female profiles, all to hunt for women to kill. So is there any connection between Brenda and Aisha? I mean, is this guy directing his anger at women, towards anyone he can find?

92
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:14,593
Or is there more to that story?

93
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:27,372
I am still digging into that. Uh, hey, you know how we asked SCORCH to keep the fake profile live just in case Austin logged back on? Well, he just matched with someone, set up a coffee date. For when? Uh, 20 minutes, Central Park. He's gonna kill again.

94
00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:40,552
Okay, this is Austin Wending. He set up a date with a 26-year-old woman, Sierra Macy. They're supposed to meet at the fountain. Okay, you head there. Me and Scola will cover the approach on either side.

95
00:18:50,429 --> 00:18:52,264
Scola, OA, you guys got anything?

96
00:18:52,331 --> 00:18:53,999
Nothing yet.

97
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:07,679
I got eyes on Austin. Southeast corner.

98
00:19:09,882 --> 00:19:19,157
Coming to you. I got eyes on Sierra. Copy. Excuse me. Are you Sierra Macy?

99
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,560
Yeah. I'm Maggie Bell with the FBI.

100
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:29,601
Looks like he's heading towards the fountain. He's heading right for you. Are you trying to meet with this guy today?

101
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:30,736
Yes.

102
00:19:33,705 --> 00:19:36,608
Then your life is in danger. Come on.

103
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:42,014
I've got Sierra. Moving to intercept.

104
00:19:44,416 --> 00:19:45,317
He made me.

105
00:20:06,238 --> 00:20:08,240
Where'd he go?

106
00:20:15,213 --> 00:20:18,817
We lost eyes on the suspect. Come on. We gotta go now. Go.

107
00:20:24,189 --> 00:20:28,493
[indistinct chatter] Hey, listen, I need you to stay here, okay?

108
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,695
Don't move.

109
00:20:41,139 --> 00:20:42,874
Come on. We gotta move.

110
00:20:44,743 --> 00:20:45,844
[gunshot] [screams]

111
00:20:51,950 --> 00:20:54,519
Shots fired. There's too many civilians.

112
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:07,366
Scola, I'm gonna draw him out. Copy that. And Scola, don't miss.

113
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:16,308
Suspect down. I repeat, suspect down.

114
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,713
Guys. Stay with them.

115
00:21:26,852 --> 00:21:33,725
We got a problem. Same mask, same coat. This ain't Austin Wending. Our killer had an accomplice.

116
00:21:43,168 --> 00:21:51,610
[indistinct radio chatter] Sierra, we have a few questions we'd like to ask you to stop this from happening again. You up for it?

117
00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:56,815
Of course. I mean, if it'll help. Hopefully, it will. You were supposed to meet a man named Patrick here today, right?

118
00:21:56,882 --> 00:22:02,154
Yeah. Well, that wasn't him. He used his profile to lure you here. Do you recognize this man?

119
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:07,125
That's Geoff. Uh, Geoff Slocumb. How do you know Geoff?

120
00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:12,798
We matched on SCORCH a couple months ago. Did anything happen between you two that would make him wanna target you?

121
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:37,222
He was fine when we were chatting, but when we met up in person, he was... off, entitled. I was glad when the date was over. But when I told him that I was not interested, he just-- He didn't take the hint. He sent flowers to my office, kept showing up on my block. I don't downvote a lot of guys on the app, but someone had to warn other girls from making the same mistake. Did Geoff mention a friend named Austin?

122
00:22:37,289 --> 00:22:41,693
[chuckles] I did not get the sense that Geoff had many friends.

123
00:22:42,994 --> 00:22:46,531
Look, I'm sorry this happened to you. Mm.

124
00:22:48,567 --> 00:23:08,286
You know, I was about to give up on the dating apps when I saw Patrick's profile. He was handsome and we liked all the same things. Mm. I thought I'd finally found a good guy. I'd gotten lucky. [scoffs] And none of that was real. So two attackers, Austin Wending and this guy, right?

125
00:23:08,353 --> 00:23:25,303
Both dressed the same, both partial to-- To homemade napalm. They think they're soldiers in a war. There's more. Internal data from SCORCH's corporate office. A list of the women that downvoted our shooter on the app. [sighs]

126
00:23:29,374 --> 00:23:46,324
Yeah, contact both of them. Hey, we think we figured out what's driving today's attacks. Yeah. Austin Wending and Geoff Slocumb both struggled with rejection on the SCORCH app and bonded over it on the BLKPILL message board, expressing a desire to, quote, "Flip the power on these women." And what power do these women have over them?

127
00:23:46,391 --> 00:23:59,104
Their ability to cast a vote on SCORCH. Austin and Geoff are targeting women who have torpedoed their ratings on the app, rendering them undateable. I thought the ratings were anonymous. So how would they know who downvoted them?

128
00:23:59,171 --> 00:24:38,543
Unclear, but they definitely knew. This list is from Geoff Slocumb's bag. We're presuming Austin has a list of the women who downvoted him too. Okay, so we need to figure out how they got their hands on this data. Well, I tried reaching out to our contact at the app, but she's not getting back to me. Well, we don't have time to wait for them to stop dragging their heels. SCORCH CEO Aimee Fenway is speaking on a couple panels at Paul Revere and Hudson today. What if we appealed to her directly? Yeah, let's get agents over there to talk to her. If Austin is in the wind, those women are still in danger. You don't understand. I was assaulted by someone I met in a dating app. That's why I created SCORCH. It wasn't about the tech. It was about making online dating safer for women. And now it's being used as a tool to kill them?

129
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:45,183
This is a nightmare. We are gonna put a stop to it, but in order to do that, Ms. Fenway, we need to know how Austin and his accomplice got this list.

130
00:24:46,651 --> 00:25:01,900
The hell? That's impossible. Not if the attackers hacked your system. No way. This isn't just AES-128 bit encrypted, it's internal profile data. You can only view it with a dev team login. Then that means the person endangering these women works for you. [sighs]

131
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:22,687
Damn it. Yes. Cody Suarez. He's a freelance engineer. He does some backend work for us. Downloaded the profiles last month... doxxed the women we were meant to protect.

132
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:39,738
Okay, Cody Suarez, he doesn't just work at SCORCH. He's also a moderator on BLKPILL. He's been speaking with both of our attackers, and he is the key to ending all of this. We need to take Cody alive so he can lead us to Austin. Understood?

133
00:25:39,804 --> 00:25:40,972
Let's go.

134
00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:05,263
Red team, west side clear. Moving to floor two. Blue team clearing floor three.

135
00:26:18,843 --> 00:26:21,079
I'll cover you.

136
00:26:46,004 --> 00:26:47,806
[whispers] Cover fire.

137
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:53,678
FBI! Don't move!

138
00:26:57,215 --> 00:27:01,987
Get up. Get up. FBI? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

139
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:24,209
He apologized. Yeah, he gave himself up right away. He would have copped to killing Hoffa if we asked. Well, we're dealing with a different profile than our two killers. Targeting women, burning them alive, that displays a complete lack of remorse. But this guy? He's got a conscience. We can make it work for us.

140
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:55,874
My place has been broken into twice this year. I heard the door bust open and hid. You gotta believe me. If I'd known you were Feds, I wouldn't have attacked. You can drop the good guy act, Cody. You're already looking at multiple violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Well, then there's the felony murder. I--[scoffs] First I'm a hacker, now I'm a murderer? Well, you abused your access at work to dox female users. You downloaded their data and then got it over to your buddies at BLKPILL. That's called conspiracy. Are you talking about Austin and Geoff?

141
00:27:55,940 --> 00:28:04,282
Mm-hmm. It was a joke! I let them know who downvoted them so they could prank the girls back, bother them at work, or send deepfakes to their friends. What's the big deal?

142
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:10,422
The big deal is, they were burned alive because of you. What?

143
00:28:10,488 --> 00:28:37,916
Cody, you're looking at life in prison. Now, your friend Geoff, he's dead, but Austin is still out there, so if you wanna help yourself, you're gonna tell us where he is. I know you know these women. This is Aisha Malik and that's Brenda Clark. The only thing these women did wrong was go on a date with Austin. I just thought... they were gonna get a taste of their own medicine. But you're saying they're really dead?

144
00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:41,386
Austin really killed them?

145
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:42,887
Yes.

146
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:53,998
Good. Good?

147
00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:18,456
You wouldn't understand. Try me. I barely survived high school. I wanted to kill myself most days. My parents told me kids could be cruel. I just had to get through it and one day, girls would see me for who I really am. But they lied. They never changed. So these girls deserved to die because you couldn't get a date?

148
00:29:18,523 --> 00:29:35,273
Of course you'd stick up for 'em. If we weren't in this room, you wouldn't look at me twice. Guys like me and Austin and Geoff, we're either not cool enough or tall enough or rich enough. But the second Austin and Geoff showed those girls a good-looking face, they jumped all over it.

149
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:44,349
You can keep your deal. These stuck-up chicks think voting us down gives them power?

150
00:29:44,415 --> 00:29:53,992
Austin's gonna show the world we're in control now. Whew. This won't be over until every one of those bitches on his list is dead.

151
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:07,672
Leave him on ice for a beat. Let him realize exactly where he is. Well, then what?

152
00:30:07,739 --> 00:30:18,616
Then have agents take another run. Well, ordinarily, that would make sense to me. But today, Ian was able to recover some more data from Austin Wending's laptop. It is a tough watch.

153
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:27,625
[screaming] That's Aisha's attack. Mm. My God, he filmed the whole thing?

154
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:44,342
He didn't just film it. He went home and cut together a highlight reel. Did the same for the murder at the Filmore. We think he was gonna share it with his online buddies. Just never got the chance. So these--these BLKPILL guys... I'm not sure I know what we're dealing with here.

155
00:30:49,414 --> 00:30:52,750
Well, I wish I could say this was shocking. You've seen it before?

156
00:30:52,817 --> 00:31:13,438
BAU's been tracking the threat of incel groups for years, and not just here. There have been attacks in Canada, England, Australia. Okay, did you pick up any insights on how-- how we can flip this guy, Cody? We need him to tell us where his buddy Austin is before he can kill anyone else on this list. Incel identity isn't just about romantic rejection. Right?

157
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:38,863
Depression, anxiety, and loneliness are all factors. These men are desperately seeking what it is to be a man, and they're finding the answer-- In an echo chamber of online insecurity. To them, it's home. So I'm afraid the more you push this man to betray his friend-- The more he's gonna dig his heels in. Yeah. All right, so let's say that our agents can't crack the guy we're questioning. Tell us about the killer we're chasing.

158
00:31:41,099 --> 00:32:03,755
Austin's BLKPILL posts glorified other incels who chose violence, so it's not surprising he went down that path. What is surprising is his method. Homemade napalm, filming his attacks. There's a grandiosity there bordering on narcissism. He doesn't just wanna make a statement. He's looking for infamy. Yeah. The only thing missing is a public manifesto.

159
00:32:04,956 --> 00:32:10,928
In any event, you can expect his attacks to escalate in audacity. Okay, but how do we-- how do we stop this guy?

160
00:32:10,995 --> 00:32:31,115
[sighs] Figure out who he hates and take her away from him. But be advised, this is about control. Challenge Austin Wending's right to be in control, and it'll destabilize him. At which point-- He might be capable of anything. Good luck.

161
00:32:32,817 --> 00:32:39,791
Hey, Jubal? Cody's a dead end. He doesn't care how many women suffer. Yeah? Even if it means he has to spend the rest of his life in prison on a felony murder charge?

162
00:32:39,857 --> 00:33:03,448
Yeah. But SCORCH sent us a list of the women that downvoted Austin. NYPD is assigning units to their homes so he won't be able to get to any of them. Yeah, that's good. But let's not pat ourselves on the back until Austin Wending's in a holding cell. Might be able to help with that. Warrant for Cody's phone came through. Okay, he got calls from two burners this morning, one from our dead attacker. Well, maybe the other one's Austin. Can we draw him out? Yeah. Can you contact Austin's burner but spoof it so it looks like it's coming from Cody?

163
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:12,757
Absolutely. Catfishing the catfisher now. [chuckles] "Hey. Neighbors say Feds raided my crib." My crib, huh?

164
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:17,161
"That makes two of us. But I have a way to take this to the next level." Next level?

165
00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:25,636
That means any woman could be the next target. All right, we need to try and set a meet. Okay. "I want to be part of the endgame. Let's meet."

166
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:30,575
"LOL, GG, Feds." Damn it. What happened?

167
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:43,521
GG means good game. Game's not over. I might be able to ping him from that exchange. Okay, this isn't pinpoint, but Austin is near Fourth Avenue by Hudson University. Okay, does anyone on the kill list live near there?

168
00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:53,498
No, no. He's going after the person who empowered the women in the first place, Aimee Fenway. Her tech conference is at Hudson. Get her somewhere safe now! Go!

169
00:34:01,439 --> 00:34:09,380
Okay, campus security has been alerted, but the panel has already started. Well, as long as Aimee's here, nobody is safe, so let's move her. All right. Why don't I hang back, keep an eye out for Austin?

170
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:10,514
Sounds good.

171
00:34:16,587 --> 00:34:20,925
All right, team, SWAT's en route. NYPD is setting up a safety perimeter.

172
00:34:27,799 --> 00:34:38,543
Guys, I got a vehicle approaching at speed. Could be Austin. Okay, he's not stopping. [engine revving] I'm engaging. Everybody, move! Get out of the way! [people screaming] Look out! Out!

173
00:34:43,714 --> 00:34:45,850
Scola, what's going on?

174
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:51,722
FBI! Out of the car with your hands up!

175
00:34:53,391 --> 00:34:58,696
Maggie, car was empty. It was a diversion. Austin's already here.

176
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:02,900
We've got eyes on him.

177
00:35:13,911 --> 00:35:39,570
He chained the door shut. All right, people. So Austin Wending has locked himself inside the auditorium at Hudson where Aimee Fenway is speaking. Shots have been fired. We need eyes inside that rotunda right now. The panel is being livestreamed on the Hudson website. Bringing it up. Okay. [people screaming] [gunshot] - Nobody move! Where's SWAT? En route. No, that's not good enough. We don't have time. I want our team in there now. There's a tunnel that we can access at the back of the building.

178
00:35:43,074 --> 00:35:50,181
Tell them the truth. Tell Hudson to cut their stream to the public. On it. Tell the world what you've done.

179
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:54,352
OA.

180
00:35:57,021 --> 00:36:02,760
I'm sorry, I'm sorry! - I don't believe you. I don't believe you! He's spiraling. Yeah.

181
00:36:11,636 --> 00:36:17,909
[gasps] He's gonna burn her. [liquid splashing]

182
00:36:27,118 --> 00:36:56,480
You started this war. This is the day that we fight back. We're inside. He has Aimee. You all started this war! [scattered gasping and sobbing] It's your fault! Get back! Austin, it's over. We have the building surrounded. No one else needs to die today. Yeah? That's what you think. You're trying to make a point, this is not how you do that. This is the only way.

183
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:00,251
Does she have a shot?

184
00:37:00,318 --> 00:37:04,922
No, not-- not from that angle. Put it down. Not another step!

185
00:37:06,857 --> 00:37:11,696
Maybe now you people will understand. No. Put it down! Not another step!

186
00:37:13,898 --> 00:37:21,973
Aimee, you're gonna be okay. Shut up. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. Shut up.

187
00:37:23,741 --> 00:37:29,046
I know he feels like he is, but he's not in charge here. Shut up! [gunshot] [gasps]

188
00:37:33,718 --> 00:37:45,329
[gasping, panting] [yelling] Suspect down. [screaming] [fire extinguisher whooshing]

189
00:37:54,271 --> 00:37:56,173
You reap what you sow.

190
00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:15,626
You know, everything is so impersonal these days. It's like we're not real people anymore. We're just a bunch of online profiles.

191
00:38:17,294 --> 00:38:34,145
And now there's two innocent women who've been murdered because of a virtual thumbs-down. I mean, It makes me sick. [sighs] Those guys were lonely. And isolated. I can see how they got lost. What do-- what do you mean by that?

192
00:38:36,914 --> 00:38:46,057
Well, they were looking for someone to blame for their loneliness. They find this incel community where they blame things that are out of their control instead of looking inward.

193
00:38:49,493 --> 00:38:56,133
They don't realize it, but... they're choosing to be alone. Hmm.

194
00:39:03,274 --> 00:39:05,076
So I asked the caller to describe himself, right?

195
00:39:05,142 --> 00:39:27,531
Mm-hmm. For the EMT. And the guy yells back, "Yo, "I'm gonna be the guy standing at the corner "with a python swallowing his arm. What more do you need?" You know what? He deserved it. He should have bought a goldfish. Oh, no, I hope not. Without guys like him, I'd be out of a job. [chuckles] I've been thinking. I already know what you're gonna say. And I agree. I shouldn't have dumped my baggage on you. That's not what I was gonna say.

196
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:44,982
I haven't dated very much since my husband. And I don't wanna sound like my parents, but dating really isn't what it used to be. And I think that when you find somebody you connect with, you gotta make it work.

197
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:58,262
Now, I don't have any advice for you in terms of how you wrap your head around what I do for a living. But how do you feel about figuring it out together?

198
00:40:01,699 --> 00:40:05,236
[sighs] Yeah, I'd like that.

199
00:40:10,407 --> 00:40:12,309
All right.

200
00:40:44,775 --> 00:40:46,510
[wolf howls] ic]
