1
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,302
NYPD. Open up.

2
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:51,818
Got word from our dispatch your silent alarm tripped. No, I don't think so. Name?

3
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:58,958
Whittock. Gary Whittock. I'm night security here. Everything's fine, Officer. We still got to check the premises.

4
00:01:08,601 --> 00:01:20,413
Whoa, whoa, wait. Hang on. On your knees. Now! This is a big mistake. I--I work here! I haven't done anything wrong. Not true. You let us in.

5
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:22,682
Security.

6
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:39,065
You're not going to be able to get in there. Security system's down. We're good to go.

7
00:02:22,108 --> 00:02:23,343
Hmm.

8
00:02:24,944 --> 00:02:35,255
Hmm. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy our games. But why do I feel that you've been coming here for another reason?

9
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:52,305
You have good stories. I like to hear them. That's all. You're thinking pawn to F4. My knight will take it. You'll recapture, and your queen will be exposed. Oh, my God. Maybe I should stop coming to see you. Mm. Now you're eyeing your bishop. Peter! Let me play.

10
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:57,043
Oh, no.

11
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:14,093
Yeah, duty calls. Well, we've got a heist at the Rushmond Gallery. One dead. Don't tease me. Come on, give me a peek. I can't do that. You don't work for the BAU anymore. Uh-huh, retired is retired, hmm?

12
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:36,549
Mm-hmm. Ooh. Come on. One little look won't hurt here. The alarm didn't trip. On-duty guard was murdered, and the thieves made out with five paintings. All on loan in a cultural exchange from European allies. Which is why it's in our jurisdiction. The guard's murder wasn't part of their plan, you know. Well, I guess we'll see. Mm-hmm. Bye, Peter. Have a good day.

13
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:56,202
Hey. Are we inside already? Yeah. How are you holding up since the funeral? Oof, how have I seemed? I know. I miss Dani too. Look, I'm here to talk if you want. Thanks, Maggie. Probably better to just focus on the day-to-day, though, right? I hear you.

14
00:03:57,570 --> 00:04:04,010
I got this. All right. Morning. Special Agents Scola and Bell. You the owner?

15
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:27,066
Walter Vasari, yes. Gary Whittock had been working here going on 13 years. Kind man, loyal, father of two. I'm sorry for your loss. Looks like he was zip-tied over there. He must have got out of them and made a run for them. He really cared about this place. Maybe too much. So what did they take?

16
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:50,657
It's a fiasco. This exhibit is a high-profile international cultural exchange. Every painting in here is essentially priceless. Those were on loan from France, Denmark, Ukraine. And those were lent by the Orsini family in Italy. Not only did they take out the interior cameras, they also demagnetized the whole system. All right, what about the backup to the cloud?

17
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:58,297
They wiped those too. So they knew exactly how to stay invisible. Got to be an inside job, no? Maybe. I could take offense to that.

18
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:31,064
So are we thinking they took Gary's key card to get in here? No. No, they'd need more than a basic work badge to do that. Only a few employees can access this gallery after hours-- upper management. You upper management? I wouldn't benefit from this, if that's what you're implying. The lenders retain legal ownership of the pieces, and they all have nail-to-nail policies in place to cover for any eventuality. We're going to need the name of every employee who has access.

19
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:57,223
Morning, folks. So last night, thieves broke into the Rushmond Gallery and murdered this guy, Gary Whittock. He was the on-duty guard. They made off with five paintings and seemed to cover their tracks. Combined value of the paintings is worth an estimated $31 million. Yeah, but on the black market, it'd only be worth a fraction of that. All right, well, a fraction of a big number is still big. And it looks like they came in with a shopping list, which suggests they already had a buyer lined up. So how do we track down our murderers?

20
00:05:57,290 --> 00:06:21,914
Well, the special exhibit is protected by a laminated glass door to maintain environmental conditions for art preservation. It can only be unlocked with a designated key card. But the thieves wiped the gallery security system. Except that this key card reader stores all data on an internal drive. I was able to access the log and see who swiped in last night. At 1:41 a.m., the door was unlocked by Teresa Almonte, special exhibit director at the Rushmond. OK. What do we know about her?

21
00:06:21,981 --> 00:06:54,881
Teresa started at the Rushmond right out of grad school. PhD in art history. Had several essays published in respected academic journals. Doesn't exactly scream criminal mastermind. Well, three months ago, she defaulted on her student loans. The DOE Default Resolution Group came knocking demanding payment, jacked up her interest rates. Last week, the government started garnishing her wages. So she followed her passion. Next thing she knows, she's bankrupt. That's the hat trick-- means, motive, and opportunity. Let's bring her in. I can't believe this is happening.

22
00:06:56,983 --> 00:06:59,819
Is Gary really dead?

23
00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:35,021
Yeah, I'm afraid so. I was tutoring him in art history. Anything I gave him to read, he just-- oh, God. His poor kids. We're aware of your financial situation. You think I had something to do with this? Your key card was used to open the special exhibit last night. That's not right. Well, your wages are being garnished. Your back's up against the wall. Makes sense that you'd throw these guys your key card. In return, they give you a cut of the money. No, no, no. I have my key card right here. I have it on me. No, Teresa, it doesn't make a difference, OK?

24
00:07:35,087 --> 00:07:57,977
They could have used it last night and given it back to you this morning. No, listen, I went into debt getting an advanced degree because to do what I do, you need one. Now I earn $64,000 a year. Between bills and my student loans, it's not enough to live on. But the Rushmond Gallery is my whole life. I would never do anything to jeopardize my position there.

25
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,586
What?

26
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:08,955
I think I know who did this.

27
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:28,808
A few days ago, I was walking the gallery, and this guy was, like, lingering, just looking. But on his way out, he started flirting with me. So?

28
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:52,465
Men don't generally flirt with me, Agent Scola. But he talked my ear off, asking me all about my job and the special exhibit and the gallery. His name was Cooper. He said he liked my laugh. We even swapped phone numbers. But later, when I tried to text him, it just bounced back. Yeah.

29
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:57,603
You know about what time Cooper stopped by the gallery?

30
00:08:57,670 --> 00:09:07,813
All right, folks. So Teresa Almonte said a suspicious man came into the gallery asking questions. I know our thieves wiped the security feed from that night. But can we pull any footage from three days earlier?

31
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:17,023
Yeah, we should have access. Yeah? Yeah. Here we go. All right, good news. This is three days earlier, right?

32
00:09:17,089 --> 00:09:21,093
Let's scrub to midday. She said it was right after her lunch. OK.

33
00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:24,797
OK. Stop it there. Let's watch.

34
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:30,169
That guy's looking suspicious to me, right?

35
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:34,840
Yeah, he's aware of the cameras. Not giving us much for facial rec. Yeah, and what is he doing with his hand there?

36
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:35,975
Zoom in.

37
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:53,659
Looks like he's scanning her key card. He's making a dupe. Right. How do you do that? Well, it used to be you needed an RFID reader. But now there are apps that can do it. He kept Teresa talking. She didn't even notice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, Mr. Suspect, you going to show us your face?

38
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:55,361
Come on. Look up here.

39
00:09:57,964 --> 00:10:35,701
Yes! Here we go. That could be enough. Hang on. Got it. Jasper Ray, a known art thief with a record of burglaries, trafficking in stolen goods, and a penchant for sex workers. And he's about to add a murder rap to that list. Ping his phone. Not finding him on any of the major providers. He's got an alias, Cooper Motte. Still nothing. OK, every database in here. Cooper Motte, Jasper Ray. If either of those names have popped up in the last 12 hours, I want to hear about it. Got a hit. Mr. Cooper Motte just checked himself into the penthouse suite at the Ravel Hotel. The Ravel? Feeling flush. Let's grab him.

40
00:10:39,772 --> 00:10:43,476
FBI, open up. Just open it.

41
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:53,819
Clear. Clear.

42
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:15,441
And check it out. Must have been the key card he made. Yeah, but this is a 9 millimeter. That doesn't match the caliber of the gun that was used to kill the guard. He could have had another weapon. Wow. That is a lot of cash. You think they offloaded the paintings already?

43
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,109
[lock clicks] Maggie.

44
00:11:18,544 --> 00:11:27,153
Then I was thinking we order some room service to, you know, rehydrate before round two. FBI, Jasper Ray. Hands where we can see them. [women yelp] Come on.

45
00:11:40,699 --> 00:11:59,018
Jasper! It's over. We know that you broke into that gallery. We know that you killed that guard. No, no, no. That wasn't me. I didn't kill him. OK. That's good. We just want to talk to you. But you're not going to believe me. We just want to hear what happened. This wasn't my fault! OK?

46
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:08,461
We didn't have any time to plan. They pushed us to do it this week. Who did? No, you-- you have no idea what these people are capable of, all right?

47
00:12:08,527 --> 00:12:17,903
Then tell us. We can help you. Stop. Stop. No, it's OK. Stop. Don't come forward! Jasper. You can't help me!

48
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:20,639
No one can.

49
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:24,510
Hey, no! Jasper!

50
00:12:31,383 --> 00:12:34,787
What the hell just happened?

51
00:12:34,854 --> 00:12:37,490
Why would he jump over some paintings?

52
00:12:37,556 --> 00:12:40,993
There's something else going on here, something bigger.

53
00:12:50,436 --> 00:13:27,740
All right, people. There's more to this robbery than just stolen paintings, and we need to figure out what it is. Now, unfortunately, Jasper Ray, our only suspect, elected to jump to his death rather than rat out the people who hired him. Ballistics confirm Jasper's gun wasn't used to kill Gary Whittock. Well, it sounds like he had a partner. This was definitely a two-man job. OK, so Jasper's partner is our best bet to track down the buyer, so how can we ID him? Hey, just got off the phone with the art crimes team. This is Cecil Lafont. He was a high-line fence until he started working for us. They say if anybody knows who Jasper's been working with these days, it'd be Lafont. All right. Let's put that to the test.

54
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,879
Oh, the interrogation room.

55
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,916
This venue meant to frighten me?

56
00:13:36,982 --> 00:14:24,863
[chuckles] Could have just asked if you needed help on the nastiness that went down at the Rushmond. An innocent guard was killed during that robbery. Yeah, I heard. It's a tragedy. Well, we know one of the thieves was Jasper Ray, but we actually think it was his partner who pulled the trigger. Jasper is small-time. Yeah, he's good with tech, but not a murderer. We were told that you might know who Jasper's been running with. Hmm. One thing at a time. My cooperation agreement has become a burden. So this information, if I have it, will complete our arrangement. And I would like a guarantee that I have satisfied our deal. Why would we do that?

57
00:14:24,930 --> 00:14:33,305
Well, a source may have told me one of the Rushmond pieces is already on the market.

58
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:36,475
Who's trying to move it?

59
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:50,222
Hmm, he doesn't meet with strangers. He's twitchy. He's paranoid. Believe me when I tell you, you could never get close. But he would meet with you. [chuckles]

60
00:14:54,593 --> 00:15:24,657
All right, this guy's going to be here any second, so let's go over the details again. This is Evan Hessel, our second gallery thief and Jasper Ray's partner in crime. Hessel did a seven-year bid for armed robbery of a museum back in 2010. He's known to be smart but violent. Right now, he is our best chance at ID'ing whoever is behind this heist. Right. And our cooperator set up this in-person meeting with Evan Hessel under the guise of a black-market sale. If Hessel's willing to sell one of the Rushmond paintings, he will know where the others are stashed. Exactly. Only question is, do we have the right guy playing our crooked buyer?

61
00:15:24,723 --> 00:15:29,194
Come on, now. I was born for this. Where's your buddy here?

62
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,230
He's already, what, ten minutes late?

63
00:15:31,297 --> 00:15:34,166
He'll show. He trusts me.

64
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,171
No sign of Evan Hessel yet.

65
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:45,377
Wait. Is that him?

66
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:56,855
Yep. We have eyes on the target. He's about 15 seconds away from you. Yep, copy that. Remember, we just need to confirm Hessel is in possession of any of the Rushmond paintings, and then we follow him to his stash house.

67
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:03,762
Ah. Here he is. Evan.

68
00:16:06,165 --> 00:16:10,469
This better be worth it. Am I in the habit of wasting your time?

69
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:22,448
[chuckles] Sit. This is my client, Mr. Forsythe. So you a private equity guy?

70
00:16:22,514 --> 00:16:30,089
$765 million, under management. Looking to expand my collection. Sotheby's not good enough? What can I say?

71
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:35,194
Cecil said that you came into some pieces. I was intrigued. What firm?

72
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:41,834
Offshore Capital. Never heard of it.

73
00:16:45,003 --> 00:16:53,112
How are we looking here? He's on our site. While he's browsing, I'll backdoor into his contacts, pull his text conversations. Going for extra credit. I like it.

74
00:17:01,186 --> 00:17:04,623
[chuckles] Do you want my college transcripts as well?

75
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:05,758
Is he serious here?

76
00:17:05,824 --> 00:17:10,628
Evan, please. Mr. Forsythe's pedigree is beyond reproach.

77
00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:14,633
Who's in your collection? What?

78
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,935
You want to know how many original Caltabiancos I have?

79
00:17:18,002 --> 00:17:28,446
This is ridiculous. I don't need this. Cecil, call me later. Wait, wait. I do have an early 20th century piece I could part with.

80
00:17:32,317 --> 00:17:39,124
All right, he bought it. One? Come on. But you said he had five. No, I heard he had five.

81
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:56,975
Four are already spoken for. But I am willing to part with the Friedland. My price is 2 mil. Gallery would charge 12. OK, Hessel just confirmed he's still in possession of the stolen paintings. Maggie, OA, get ready to tail this guy to his stash house.

82
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,182
We're on the board.

83
00:18:05,517 --> 00:18:07,619
2 million's a deal, Stuart.

84
00:18:09,221 --> 00:18:11,423
[chuckles] I'd take it.

85
00:18:13,392 --> 00:18:18,197
All right, I'm going to need to see the condition of the piece. You got a photo so I can check the extent of the damage?

86
00:18:18,263 --> 00:18:26,004
Money first, man. OK. I'm not going to hand you $2 million out here on the street. You know that.

87
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:32,678
Just show him the photos, Evan. Hmm? His money is green.

88
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:40,486
[glass shatters] [indistinct shouting]

89
00:18:46,658 --> 00:18:49,862
Heading to the river! We'll double back!

90
00:19:02,107 --> 00:19:05,511
Evan Hessel, you're under arrest.

91
00:19:09,147 --> 00:19:41,079
Interstate transport of stolen property, that's ten years. Theft of major artwork, ten years. Violation of the International Cultural Treaty, as judge's discretion. But spoiler alert-- minimum ten years. We can place you at the gallery. And ballistics confirm that the round that killed Gary Whittock was, in fact, from your gun. That's murder during the commission of a federal felony. We have you dead to rights, Evan. So really, the only question is, are you going to do the smart thing and tell us what's going on?

92
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:49,955
Come on. Who are your buyers? OK, why did you have to rob the gallery this week?

93
00:19:50,022 --> 00:20:00,365
What was the rush? I can't help you. OK, clearly, you're in a tough position. I mean, we know that Jasper was afraid of your buyers. That's why he jumped off the roof of a building earlier today.

94
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:04,570
Yeah.

95
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:10,742
We want to protect you, Evan. But we can't do that unless you tell us who they are.

96
00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:16,982
They sent me a picture of my son.

97
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:22,254
Your buyers did? Yeah.

98
00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:28,360
Walking up to our apartment. Eli's seven.

99
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:43,008
They knew his name. They knew everything about me. They made it clear. Hit up the Rushmond this week, or they'd hurt me, my family. I didn't know what else to do.

100
00:20:44,676 --> 00:20:54,119
No idea what they had on Jasper, but it was something. We knew we had to work quick and never look back. Did you meet your buyers in person?

101
00:20:54,186 --> 00:21:11,203
Could you ID a photo? No, we never met. They cold-contacted us over Signal. No number, no name, offered $75K each in cash up front, plus a shopping list. Even told me I could keep the Friedland for myself. What did you do with the paintings?

102
00:21:11,269 --> 00:21:12,504
Where are they now?

103
00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:21,680
We dropped them at a storage unit. The second half of our cut was there. That's all I know. I swear.

104
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:37,562
All right, talk to me about this storage unit in Little Haiti. Yeah, unit F938. But the name on the rental agreement's a fake. We checked it against every database we can think of, coming up empty. Yeah, they paid for the unit in cash. There's no way to ID the people who commissioned the robbery. Which led to the murder of Gary Whittock. What about eyes on the unit?

105
00:21:37,629 --> 00:22:04,556
They have an older model CCTV feed. I'm piggybacking it now. OK, I'm into the cloud backup. Yeah, this is from 3:00 a.m. last night. That is unit F938 on the left. Yeah, OK. There they there. Our two thieves, Jasper Ray and Evan Hessel, dressed up as NYPD. Explains how they got into the gallery without tripping the alarm. They drop the paintings, pick up their payment. In and out, less than three minutes. Scrub forward. Maybe we're lucky enough to catch our buyers picking up the paintings.

106
00:22:13,098 --> 00:22:15,400
When was this?

107
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:22,574
18 minutes ago. I want eyes on every road leading out of that storage facility. Send Maggie and OA to that location now.

108
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:47,432
Jubal, we're outside of the unit. No sign of the buyers. Well, they must have grabbed the paintings and slipped through a blind spot. See if you can find any evidence we can use to ID 'em. Open it.

109
00:22:59,845 --> 00:23:02,147
It's them. What?

110
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:14,126
They're all here. These buyers went through a lot of trouble to get these paintings, and we know they were just here. This doesn't make sense, Maggie. What are we missing?

111
00:23:23,268 --> 00:23:53,965
So you recovered the missing paintings, you prevented an international fiasco, and you solved a murder. Yet something's bothering you. The buyers knew everything about this heist crew. They leveraged them to rob the gallery on their timetable. They were meticulous, motivated. They were careful every single step of the way. They were even at the storage unit before we were. They could have taken the paintings. They didn't. How do you explain that?

112
00:23:54,032 --> 00:24:01,173
Behavioral anomaly. Well, either your meticulous buyers made one big mistake...

113
00:24:02,641 --> 00:24:05,010
Or they let us find the paintings on purpose.

114
00:24:10,749 --> 00:24:13,351
So what exactly are we looking for?

115
00:24:13,418 --> 00:24:39,778
I'm not sure. We know that there was 31 minutes between when the buyers cut the CCTV feed and we arrived. That is more than enough time to take the paintings and go. Maybe they were being extra cautious. Kill the cameras, come back later for the art. I don't think so. Look, they cut these four paintings out of their frames, but then, for some reason, left this one intact. "The Knife Grinder," painted in 1912 by Ukrainian artist Kazimir Malevich, who founded the Suprematism style.

116
00:24:42,347 --> 00:24:43,949
What's going on here?

117
00:24:44,015 --> 00:24:53,792
Looks like discoloration. Yeah, the edges of the canvas are more saturated. Could have sustained damage over the years. Can you pull up a photo of it hanging in the gallery?

118
00:24:53,859 --> 00:24:55,427
Sure, hang on.

119
00:24:58,763 --> 00:25:01,766
No discoloration. How's that possible?

120
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:06,071
Do you see that this frame is narrower than that one?

121
00:25:07,505 --> 00:25:16,381
You're right. I mean, we're talking only a fraction of an inch, but those frames aren't the same width. What if they used that 31 minutes to swap the frame?

122
00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:29,594
So the frames were switched. And then the new frames exposed paint that had been covered up for years, so it never faded. OK, I need you to pull this from evidence. I want to check it out myself. We don't have it anymore. Why?

123
00:25:29,661 --> 00:25:34,032
It was returned to the lender-- the Ukrainian consulate. The Ukrainian consulate?

124
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:42,007
The buyers took the painting on purpose, swapped the frame because they knew we were going to return it. And these other four were just decoys. What if they put something in the frame?

125
00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:51,082
Like a Trojan horse. It could be a surveillance device. That is a massive play, smuggling something into a foreign consulate on U.S. soil. OK, we need to run this up the ladder.

126
00:25:53,518 --> 00:26:07,332
Hey, this is Anna Vorpe, counterintelligence officer from OGA. Special Agent Bell and Zidan. Pleasure. OGA-- Other Government Agency. Indeed. Isobel has sung your praises. Mm, how's my girl doing?

127
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:20,478
Uh, she's getting better every day. Good. She knows how this game is played. So I understand that you're concerned about some dusty old paintings. And for some reason, you need counterintelligence to weigh in. Did I get that right?

128
00:26:20,545 --> 00:26:51,309
Well, we suspect someone hid a surveillance device inside a painting's frame to spy on the Ukrainian consulate. And we were wondering if we didn't just stumble over another three-letter agency's op. I know you don't speak for all of them, but-- No, I can actually. And the answer is no. If the U.S. wanted to spy on the Ukrainians, we wouldn't need a painting to do it. We'd have planted microphones in the walls when we renovated their building 7 and 1/2 years ago. But I admit that the timing is concerning. Why is that?

129
00:26:51,376 --> 00:27:06,958
Well, there's a rumor that, earlier this week, the Ukrainians picked up Egor Petrovich in the city. A rumor? A highly verified rumor. They still have Petrovich detained at their consulate. Sorry, are we talking about the Russian warlord?

130
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:41,259
Yeah, he's head of the Strauss Group. They're a well-funded, private army full of ruthless mercenaries wanted by at least a dozen countries. So you're saying he's been here in New York. We had a special unit hunting for him on an ICC warrant, but hand it to the Ukrainians. They got to him first. Well, that makes sense. He ordered a massacre in a Ukrainian town full of women and children. Yeah, he's a real shoot first, think later kind of monster. So if the Ukrainians scooped him up, they're going to want to fly him home to make him face charges on their soil, right? So let's say there's no listening device in the frame. But what if there is an explosive and one of Petrovich's enemies is trying to take him out?

131
00:27:47,198 --> 00:28:30,708
All right, people, eyes up. This is an Anna Vorpe with OGA. She'll be running point with us. Now, listen, right now, Egor Petrovich, the Russian warlord and head of the notorious Strauss Group, is being held captive in the Ukrainian consulate. And to make matters worse, we believe an unknown third party is planning to assassinate him on U.S. soil. That would have major geopolitical ramifications. The whole world wants this monster dead or alive. So let's be the team that finally brings him in once and for all. I'm on hold with the Ukrainian consul general just to give him a heads up. OK. Our team is en route to the consulate, just in case. OK, great. NSA, liaise with GCHQ. DOJ, hey, wake up our legal attaches in London and Brussels. See if they have any intel as to who could be behind this play, yeah?

132
00:28:30,775 --> 00:28:40,885
That's a dice roll. Strauss Group has mercs in Nigeria, Sudan, Libya. There's no shortage of enemies who want to take this guy off the board. Jubal, phone line just went dead. What? Try them back?

133
00:28:40,952 --> 00:28:53,798
I can't get through. OK. What's going on here, people? OK, boss, yeah, it looks like there was a power outage. Some kind of surge. It's isolated, though. It just hit one building. The Ukrainian consulate. Yeah. All right, talk to me. What could do this?

134
00:28:53,865 --> 00:29:06,010
A low-yield, short-range, custom-built EMP. That must have been what was hidden in that frame. Well, whatever it is, it just blew out every circuit in that building. Whoever's coming to take out Petrovich, it's happening now. Warn our field teams.

135
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:35,039
Maggie. FBI! Don't move! [gunfire] I've got eyes on Petrovich. [gunfire] [men speaking Russian] [engine turns over] [gunfire] [grunts]

136
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:40,879
Let's go! [groaning]

137
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:43,882
AK-47.

138
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:49,387
[groaning] Where are they taking him?

139
00:29:49,454 --> 00:30:00,932
He's free now. You'll never find him. Russian. From the Strauss Group. This wasn't an assassination. No. It was a rescue mission.

140
00:30:09,407 --> 00:30:32,964
Our two Russian mercs just ripped Egor Petrovich out of Ukrainian custody in broad daylight. Now, where the hell did they go? Come on. It turns out the plates on the van were stolen. But we issued a BOLO based on the van's description. These guys did their homework. Whatever route they're taking, they're not showing up on traffic cams. Yeah, well, the Strauss Group is well-funded and trained in urban warfare. We are not letting them get away. Jubal, they've finished processing the Russian that Maggie wounded. OK, thank you. Keep looking! You coming?

141
00:30:33,031 --> 00:30:35,600
Why not?

142
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:53,418
Sneaking a custom EMP into a foreign consulate, human smuggling of a wanted Russian warlord, attempted murder on federal agents. I'm not going to lie to you, Andrei. This is going to land on you like a hammer. Unless you talk to me. How are you planning on getting your friend out of the country?

143
00:30:53,484 --> 00:31:12,570
You're asking me to kill my own brother. No, I'm asking you to cooperate. You don't understand. I did not free Petrovich out of loyalty. This man is nobody's friend. He rules with money and cruelty. Wait, so what does this have to do with your brother?

144
00:31:12,637 --> 00:31:30,989
Mikhail is in Belarus. Petrovich could get to him easily. It's his insurance policy. He saw me fall today. He knows you have me. If I give up Petrovich now, he will have Mikhail killed.

145
00:31:34,192 --> 00:31:38,162
I cannot help you. You cannot help me.

146
00:31:45,403 --> 00:31:48,106
What if I can guarantee your brother's safety?

147
00:31:49,907 --> 00:31:57,849
You cooperate with us, and we will get him out of Belarus. Who is she?

148
00:31:57,915 --> 00:31:59,751
Nobody.

149
00:32:04,956 --> 00:32:25,543
OK, so listen up. One of Petrovich's men just revealed they're moving their boss to a private airfield somewhere outside of the city. Unfortunately, he was never told the exact name. There are at least a half dozen options. All right, so let's narrow that down. I want everyone on this. We know they were driving a black Sprinter van, stolen plates. We should be up on traffic cams on every highway heading out of the city. Hey, I think I got him. Yeah?

150
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:30,448
Heading towards the 59th Street Bridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so--so what is in that direction?

151
00:32:30,515 --> 00:32:35,720
Liberty Airport in Long Island is their best bet. That's got to be it. OK, sending our team to head them off.

152
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,929
Maggie. Yep, I see it.

153
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:50,735
Eyes on the van. [tires squealing]

154
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:54,038
Well, they know we're on their tail now.

155
00:32:56,341 --> 00:33:04,415
Scola, they're headed west. [tires squealing] South on Gaston.

156
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,065
We got him pinned in. [gunfire]

157
00:33:23,701 --> 00:33:26,404
Moving west on Queens Plaza.

158
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:34,846
Going east! Jubal! Suspects are fleeing on foot. We're in pursuit.

159
00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:43,788
The van is clear. Hey! Keep this place locked down!

160
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:59,470
[grunting] Don't move!

161
00:34:02,673 --> 00:34:04,409
It's not him.

162
00:34:06,744 --> 00:34:09,147
I don't have him.

163
00:34:11,916 --> 00:34:18,156
Hey, Maggie and OA got the mercs. Scola, you are on Petrovich. Be careful. He is dangerous.

164
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:23,995
Petrovich! It's over. Show me your hands. Hands!

165
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:34,472
Hey, Jubal, it's not him. That's not Petrovich either?

166
00:34:34,539 --> 00:34:44,514
No, that's Ronen Vovnoboy, another one of his private soldiers. Right, but Maggie saw three men get into that van-- two mercs and Petrovich. Something's not adding up. How the hell did we lose him?

167
00:34:44,581 --> 00:34:57,061
I don't get it. I'm looking at traffic cams. The van never stops after leaving the consulate. There was no time to drop him off anywhere. The van! Heads up! Petrovich never got out of the van. He is still in there!

168
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:01,699
OA?

169
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:05,870
Yeah, I heard that. Hey, take him.

170
00:35:11,576 --> 00:35:17,248
An oxygen tank. We have two officers down. Send ambo to our location. What the hell happened?

171
00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:25,790
Petrovich was hiding in a false compartment. So they could smuggle him into the airport. Jubal, we lost Petrovich. Hey! Did you see someone?

172
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:30,895
Which way did they go? He ran that way. OK. Wait with them?

173
00:35:30,962 --> 00:35:32,196
Let's move.

174
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:55,753
Jubal, we think that Petrovich came into the food market. We need to set up a perimeter. Yeah, I'm already on it. This is not good. This place is packed with civilians. Yeah, he did this on purpose. The group kills civilians as a tactic. We need to approach with extreme caution. OK, I'll go around, flank him from the other side. Let's move.

175
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:08,199
OA, I think I see him on the left.

176
00:36:11,168 --> 00:36:14,739
[gunshot] [screaming] Everybody down!

177
00:36:16,507 --> 00:36:19,143
Shots fired! Shots fired! Move, move, move!

178
00:36:23,915 --> 00:36:25,149
Is this the only angle we have?

179
00:36:25,216 --> 00:36:34,825
The market has limited cameras. I want every view you can find. We need eyes at the market. Jubal, he won't care how many people he kills. Send every resource we have! All right?

180
00:36:34,892 --> 00:36:53,978
All hands on deck. Jubal, send all the medical you can. You need to get down! Move, move, move! I've lost him. Stay down. I can't see him. [gunshot] OA! [gunfire] I don't have a shot. I don't either.

181
00:36:55,012 --> 00:36:56,347
Move, move!

182
00:37:08,526 --> 00:37:10,127
Guys, he's got a hostage.

183
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,300
FBI. Drop your weapon.

184
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:20,171
I said, drop your weapon! Or what?

185
00:37:20,237 --> 00:37:41,559
She's innocent. Drop your weapon, and we can talk. Give me helicopter to Liberty Airport, or I blow her brains all over the place. All right, Jubal, we need a sniper team and a negotiator here. I don't know, Scola. Just wait. I want charter jet! You hear me? Direct to Moscow! You have ten minutes, or her death will be on your soul!

186
00:37:48,666 --> 00:37:50,034
Cover me.

187
00:37:54,739 --> 00:37:58,275
One step closer, she dies. Maggie, what are you doing?

188
00:37:58,342 --> 00:38:03,247
Back away! Maggie! Maggie! Back away! Now!

189
00:38:04,348 --> 00:38:07,551
Or I'll kill you! Then do it.

190
00:38:13,157 --> 00:38:15,559
Egor Petrovich, you're under arrest.

191
00:38:21,165 --> 00:38:22,633
How'd you know it was empty?

192
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:27,405
He's a shoot first, think later kind of monster. He wasn't shooting.

193
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:54,331
Hey. Hey. I just wanted to say it was great riding with you, Valentine. Yeah, yeah. You too. One more thing, regarding Andrei Orlav's brother in Belarus. Yeah. It's a big "no can do."

194
00:38:56,801 --> 00:39:03,574
OK, but we looked into that guy's eyes. We told him we'd protect his brother.

195
00:39:06,444 --> 00:39:10,314
You're new to the SAC chair. It's just how the game is played.

196
00:39:12,416 --> 00:39:16,153
I know it doesn't feel like it, but that was a win.

197
00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:51,889
The way you read Petrovich like a book was just brilliant. Flattering me, I see, hoping I leave my diagonal open. Nice try. You have a gift, Maggie. You are a natural profiler. BAU would be lucky to have you, and I would be very happy to put in a word.

198
00:39:53,724 --> 00:40:04,335
I--no. Well, yeah, thank you. But that's not what I want. I love where I am. I love my team. Then what do you want?

199
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:11,075
I think this past year has made me feel off balance.

200
00:40:15,446 --> 00:40:40,371
I feel like when I look around, I don't-- I don't really recognize the world anymore. So I guess I was hoping that if I could get deeper into the minds of the criminals that we're hunting, then... maybe I could make sense of something. [scoffs] I think you're well on your way.

201
00:40:47,478 --> 00:40:53,717
However... your chess strategy still needs some work.

202
00:41:34,525 --> 00:41:36,227
[wolf howls] ic]
