[chuckles] Uh, yes, please. Thank you. You're not gonna eat your toast? 15 00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:27,514 It's all yours. I'll take that. Thank you. [grunts] All right, I gotta go. Me and Kylie are meeting up early to go over this chemistry midterm. Who is Kylie again? Dad. Say hi to Kylie for me. And, um, can I get a ride to the city tomorrow? 16 00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:31,885 I got the day off. Teacher development.

Let me guess. She didn't answer. No, it's been weeks since I heard from her. Hey. Thank you. You guys should listen to this. Oh. Good morning, Kelly. Right. Sorry. Yes, good morning. I've actually-- well, I've been here a while. Okay. Just hurry up. Okay. So it was my turn to work the tip line last night, mostly nuisance calls. You guys know how it is. But there was one that actually seemed very legit, right? 21 00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:59,138 Her name is Gail Burke, retired EMT. She's got commendations up and down her file. Not a kook. Let's hear it. For the past week, I've been seeing this strange guy go in and out of the community center up the block, and that place has been closed for months. Also, I saw a few girls go in at odd hours, but they never came out. Now, I called the NYPD, and no one followed up. Somebody ought to check it out. Maybe the FBI will-- just for peace of mind. So I called her back. Seems credible, if she's right. All right. Grab your jacket. You want me to come with? 22 00:03:59,205 --> 00:04:03,710 Why not? It's your fish. Uh, okay. 23 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:18,524 Looks like the project stalled out in May. Developer says they had security cameras, but they shut them down months ago. All right. Split up. Kelly, take left. 24 00:04:54,761 --> 00:05:08,508 Hey. It's clear someone's been using this place as a crash pad. I mean, you can tell your tipster she's right. Okay, we'll check security cameras in the area, see about these girls she said came through. Mm-hmm. There should be another door here. 25 00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,649 Well done, Kelly. 26 00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:26,726 Ugh. What is that? 27 00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,394 Decomp. 28 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:48,414 [sighs] Found the source of that smell. Ugh. So much for peace of mind. 29 00:05:56,789 --> 00:06:22,248 Neck abrasions on all three women is consistent with manual strangulation. They all look pretty fresh. Body decomp is in stages ranging from last week to last night. The most recent vic has got defensive material beneath her nails. She fought back before he crushed her windpipe. Okay, we'll get the DNA tested, processed, and see if it matches anyone in our database. Hey, Mosbach. This looks like a brand. It's cauterized. 30 00:06:26,919 --> 00:06:30,656 The initials BC. Think our guy did this? 31 00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:38,898 If he did, it wasn't recent. All right. Let's get this back to the JOC, see if they can make anything of it. Thanks. Yeah. 32 00:06:40,733 --> 00:07:09,228 Remind me to never underestimate the tip line again. Those were great instincts, Kell. Thanks. All right. Tell us about our three victims. Yeah, fingerprints ID them as Jacqueline King, Hyacinth Duffy, and Vesper Green, all in their early 20s, all sex workers with multiple solicitation charges in New York, and all strangled to death within the last week. With no signs of rape or sexual assault. So we may have a serial killer on our hands. Does that MO match any active cases in or out of state? 33 00:07:09,295 --> 00:07:17,837 No hits in ViCAP, but BAU is generating a profile as we speak. And the neighbor described the suspect as white, around 6'3", and driving a dark-colored SUV. We get eyes on any possible vehicle matches? 34 00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:24,710 No such luck. It's the residential section of Washington Heights, so whole block is a dead zone. All right. What about fingerprints found at the scene? 35 00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:28,748 Found plenty, but nothing popped up in Next Generation ID. What about defensive wounds? 36 00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:41,427 Any skin cell DNA under the fingernails of the most recent victim? We ran the sample, but there were no matches in the system. Right, then we work our way backwards through the vics. These girls were sex workers, right? Stands to reason our killer picked them up at some point. Can we figure out where? 37 00:07:41,494 --> 00:08:12,225 Well, based on arrest records, they all worked the street, no online escort services or profiles. One of the women, Vesper Green, has a branding on the inside of her wrist. Just ran it through the database. That mark is tied to a known pimp, Buddy Cook. Cook is currently locked up at FCI Ridgebury, but his girls like to hang outside a bodega on Roosevelt Avenue. So within a week, our suspect has strangled three women in our own backyard. This guy is on a spree. I want him ID'd now. Yes, ma'am. Let's get Scola and Eva over to Roosevelt Avenue. Maybe somebody saw him scoop up Vesper. 38 00:08:14,293 --> 00:08:21,067 [horns honking] ♪ O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree... ♪ So, Scola, you got any special holiday plans? 39 00:08:21,133 --> 00:08:23,603 Ugh.

[car horn blaring] Prick! Oh, here we go. [sighs] 42 00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:52,598 Special agents Ramos and Scola, FBI. [sighs] It's hard enough without you people. Look, we're not the cops. We're not trying to jam you up, okay? 43 00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:56,135 We just have to ask you a couple questions. Yeah? About what? 44 00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:59,138 Well, there's somebody out here targeting women in your line of work, all right? 45 00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,406 We just need a little help. 46 00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:04,443 You work for Buddy Cook? 47 00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:11,450 I don't work for anybody. Hey, you know your rights, Charlie. You don't gotta tell them nothing. Thanks, Dez. I got this. 48 00:09:12,618 --> 00:09:14,086 Do you know this girl? 49 00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:16,322 Her name is Vesper Green. 50 00:09:17,823 --> 00:09:22,128 Maybe. Yeah. What's going on? 51 00:09:22,194 --> 00:09:23,763 Did something happen to her? 52 00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:28,267 I'm sorry, but we found Vesper's body this morning strangled to death. 53 00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,577 What is this? 54 00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:53,092 It's, um--it's Vesper. They said-- they said she's dead. Murdered, along with two other women, also sex workers. I take it you guys were close. We looked out for each other. Well, did you notice any suspicious men lately? 55 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:54,694 How about all of them? 56 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,966 Look, can either of you recall any time she might have talked about somebody that was acting strange? 57 00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:01,934 A client? A fight? 58 00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:07,707 Fights happen all the time. It's, um--what do they say-- occupational hazard? 59 00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:12,678 That's why we started working in pairs. Was anyone working with Vesper the last time you saw her? 60 00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:27,393 Yeah, uh, Vesper was talking to some white dude. Left in an SUV. Looked like it hadn't been washed in, like, ever. I'm pretty sure Effy was with her. He picked them both up. 61 00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:48,414 All right, so the super confirmed he saw Effy O'Rourke go into this apartment a couple hours ago. What the hell? Bitch! Help! Get off of me! Who do you think you are? - Hit it. Get over here! - [screams] FBI! Ah! Get off her! Off, now! Hey, hey, hey! What is this? 62 00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:53,185 Drop on the ground! On your knees! Hey, hey. Effy? 63 00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:55,254 [gasping] Effy? 64 00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:59,058 You're gonna be okay. She tried to drug me! Stop talking! Stop talking! She tried to drug me! 65 00:11:11,871 --> 00:11:22,882 Brandon Kraczuk. It says here that you're a project manager at Iron State, a high-end contracting firm. It's a respectable job. No priors. How'd you end up in this mess? 66 00:11:22,948 --> 00:11:25,885 I mean, three girls. And, what, Effy was gonna be your fourth? 67 00:11:25,951 --> 00:11:26,986 Wait, what? 68 00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:28,654 What do you-- what do you think I did? 69 00:11:28,721 --> 00:11:34,193 You're gonna play dumb? Okay. We'll just wait for the DNA match. DNA? What are you talking about? 70 00:11:34,260 --> 00:12:01,353 Here are the photos of the three sex workers that you strangled to death and threw in a freezer. We can link every one of their murders to you. Wait, hold on. I have never seen these women in my life! That's not what we heard. According to an eyewitness, this girl, Vesper Green, her, and Effy O'Rourke, the one that we caught you beating, were picked up by the same john-- white male, 30s, around 6'3"-- and they were driven off in a dark SUV just like the one that you own. That proves nothing. Half the city drives a dark SUV. 71 00:12:02,788 --> 00:12:12,698 Look, whatever they saw, it wasn't me. And besides, I don't pick up prostitutes. That girl, Effy, she picked me up. You do understand that lying to the FBI is a federal crime? 72 00:12:12,765 --> 00:12:16,001 I'm telling you, I am not lying! Then you better start talking. 73 00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:37,756 I stopped at O'Brien's after work-- a couple of beers. This girl sits down next to me, and she comes on really strong, like she wants to party. Why not, right? We get back to my place, we hook up a little, and then she sneaks away to make drinks. And that's when I caught her trying to roofie me. So then you started to beat the hell out of her. When I confronted her, she grabbed a knife, okay? 74 00:12:37,823 --> 00:12:39,525 You guys didn't see that part. 75 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:59,345 Look, she tried to drug me. And, yes, I lost control. But if you need proof, test my DNA or whatever. It will show that I was nowhere near those girls. You'll see. I'm innocent. You're far from innocent, Brandon. 76 00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:29,141 What do you think? I hate to say it. I think he's telling the truth. Yeah, but you saw what I saw. He would have killed that girl if we didn't show up. Yeah, he's a piece of work. But BAU's prelim profile says we need to look for somebody who's antisocial, who has a lifelong hatred for women. I mean, he was making eye contact with me the whole time. He wanted my approval. Okay, so maybe the profile was wrong. There's one way to find out. Let's hold him, and we'll get an STR analysis in the morning. Okay. 77 00:13:32,578 --> 00:14:05,110 Hey. Morning. Hey. I'm afraid Maggie's hunch was right. Our killer is still out there. The DNA found under Vesper's nails was not a match for Brandon Kraczuk. That tracks. I had Kelly dig into Brandon's credit cards. He was in Boston for the last two weeks at a work site. His manager confirmed it. Oh, and ERT found traces of Rohypnol in a broken glass at his apartment. So Effy did try to drug him. There's something about this case. The closer we look, the blurrier the picture gets. Yeah, well, Effy got released from hospital, so let's talk to her. Maybe she can help us figure out what's what. Yeah. 78 00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:20,192 You know, Effy, we can't even imagine what you're going through. A lot of my days are tough. The hell the cops care all of a sudden? Well, you're lucky we found you when we did, Effy. Okay? 79 00:14:20,259 --> 00:14:25,631 We know that you tried to drug Brandon Kraczuk before he attacked you, okay? 80 00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:30,236 There is somebody that's killing girls like you. All right? 81 00:14:30,302 --> 00:14:35,341 We're here trying to piece that together. What do you mean? Like-- A serial killer. 82 00:14:37,209 --> 00:14:41,647 Vesper Green and two other women were found murdered. 83 00:14:45,884 --> 00:14:48,954 It's him. Who's "him"? 84 00:14:49,021 --> 00:14:59,531 This john. He picked us up, me and Vesper. He paid me to drug that guy. He paid you to drug Brandon Kraczuk? 85 00:14:59,598 --> 00:15:02,167 Yeah. Did you catch him? 86 00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:10,876 No. That's why we're here. Look, we need your help. You just said that he picked you up and your friend, Vesper Green, right? 87 00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:13,545 Is there something that you remember about this john? 88 00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:15,080 Like, did he give you a name? 89 00:15:15,147 --> 00:15:24,523 No, he barely spoke, and he paid a lot. 1,000 upfront and another 1,000 when the job was done. What was the job? 90 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:29,862 Go to the bar, take Brandon home, drug him, and take his wallet. What did the john want in the wallet? 91 00:15:29,928 --> 00:15:45,411 He showed me a photo of Brandon. Told me where Brandon drinks after work. But Brandon wasn't at the bar the first night. It was a lot of money, and so I tried again. And once I got the wallet, I was supposed to meet the guy in Washington Heights. 92 00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:59,591 That's where you found them. Isn't it? 93 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,228 Effy. 94 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,769 Was Vesper supposed to steal something too? 95 00:16:15,974 --> 00:16:28,253 After that creep picked us up, we all went to the diner. He spoke to me and Vesper in separate booths. Where was the diner? 96 00:16:30,956 --> 00:16:50,008 You don't have to convince me Effy's story is far-fetched, but her description of the john who hired her matches the description of our killer, same for the car he was driving, so we are chasing that Frisbee. All right, we got eyes on the--the diner Effy said her and her friend were taken to? Got two, but the cameras only cover half the parking lot. Well, that'll have to do. Eyes up for a dark SUV, right? 97 00:16:50,075 --> 00:17:02,354 Hey, yeah, got something, 2:22 p.m. All right, all right. Man exiting a dark SUV with our two women. I can't see the plates. All right, but that's definitely Effy and Vesper. So who is the guy in the dark blue hoodie? 98 00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:37,723 We only need one frame, right? We need the seven reference points to get an ID. Just hold on. Let me try something. Yeah, I think I got it. Update to our face rec software. It can pull from different angles to get a composite. Got it. Okay, folks. Eyes up. Warren Stroud. Let's get to know each other. Talk to me. Looks like he lives out of town. Current address is in Elkins Park. Philadelphia. Yeah, he lost his trucking job post-pandemic. Recently declared bankruptcy. I'm also seeing divorce documents filed by his wife, Janice, but they have yet to be finalized. Okay, any reason given for the divorce? 99 00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:51,837 Wife claims she caught her husband with multiple sex workers. Uh, okay. So maybe Warren's redirecting his anger for his misfortune at sex workers. Yeah, could be blaming them for his downturn. So how does stealing the guy's wallet fit into all of this? 100 00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,372 What's the connection to Brandon Kraczuk? 101 00:17:53,439 --> 00:18:08,454 Maybe Warren paid these other girls to steal things before he killed them, too, some kind of twisted ritual. But no, we need another piece to this puzzle. Okay, we've been poring over Warren's financials. His card was charged at a Bronx motel last week. Okay, right before the murders began. And get this. That motel? 102 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,459 Ten minutes away from the community center where we found the bodies. Get Scola and Eva there now. 103 00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:42,020 [pounding on door] FBI! Open up! I'm coming out! Don't shoot, please! 104 00:18:46,391 --> 00:18:48,060 Up against the wall. 105 00:18:50,262 --> 00:18:55,434 All right, we're all clear. We're looking for Warren Stroud. Who are you? 106 00:18:55,501 --> 00:18:57,469 I'm his wife. 107 00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:07,613 Will someone please just tell me what do you think he did? 108 00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:32,070 We believe that your husband has murdered three different women here in New York, all sex workers. This is insane. Warren would never do anything like that. He's not a killer. He's a good man. Janice, you divorced your husband because you found him cheating on you with sex workers. I did. But it's complicated. What's complicated about it? 109 00:19:33,639 --> 00:19:59,598 You know that something is wrong with your husband. He's on lithium and anti-seizure meds. He's sick. Okay? He needs help. He needs my help. Been in a spiral better part of a year, lost his job. I found him with a prostitute. There were others. Him doing that, bringing whatever they gave him back to our bed? 110 00:19:59,665 --> 00:20:02,000 No, I left. 111 00:20:03,802 --> 00:20:11,610 But I still care about him. Okay, so how did you end up here at this motel? 112 00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:21,987 He's been here before. Left me a message two nights ago. Sounded like he was on an upswing. So I drove into the city to find him. You still got the voicemail? Can we hear it? 113 00:20:27,593 --> 00:21:24,583 We are at the precipice of true destruction. I love you so much. This world is gonna burn. And I'm holding the match, and it's lit in my hand and it doesn't hurt. This day of reckoning is so close. I can't wait to see it all in ruins. It sounds like more than a spiral to me. Since we split up, he's been alone, isolated, staring at that laptop. Who knows what he's doing on that thing? Okay, we're gonna need to get that down to the JOC. I'd like to stay here in case Warren comes back, if that's all right. I'm sorry, Janice. This is a crime scene. Well, then I'll take another room. I want Warren to see my face first. No matter what happens, he owes me that much. Okay. We'll get some undercover officers posted outside. And if he calls you-- You'll be the first to know. 114 00:21:27,886 --> 00:21:44,670 This world is gonna burn. And I'm holding the match, and it's lit in my hand and it doesn't hurt. This day of reckoning is so close. I can't wait to see it all in ruins. Okay, stop it there. So "precipice of destruction," "day of reckoning"-- does that sound like a guy who's off his meds? 115 00:21:44,736 --> 00:21:56,682 Yes. Yeah, but what I mean is, that's not just a guy off his meds. That's a guy who's planning something, right? His wife said that Warren is online day and night. So what if these women that he killed, what if it's a part of some kind of plan? 116 00:21:56,748 --> 00:21:57,849 Were we able to track Warren's phone? 117 00:21:57,916 --> 00:22:12,230 He must have turned it off. Last ping is at the community center the other night. Right. You know, maybe we're looking at this the wrong way. Maybe it's not a psychosexual serial killing. Maybe it's part of some doomsday plot. Okay, let's-- let's talk this through. What do we know? 118 00:22:12,297 --> 00:22:27,546 We know Warren picked up this woman, Effy, paid her $1,000 to steal this guy, Brandon Kraczuk's wallet, and bring it back to him, which is weird. Well, if it is a whole plot, did he kill these women to use them in the same way? 119 00:22:27,612 --> 00:22:42,427 To get them to steal from the actual targets, and then he killed the women off to cover his tracks. We can look at the recent NYPD robbery reports. Yeah, filtering for male victims who claim to have been robbed by female suspects over the last week. All five boroughs, all ages. Let's cast a wide net. 120 00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:46,698 Take us through it. How were you robbed? 121 00:22:46,765 --> 00:22:53,205 I was watching the ball game at Finnegan's, just minding my own damn business, when this girl came and sat at the bar. And then what happened? 122 00:22:53,271 --> 00:23:03,348 She started flirting, like, real suggestive. Thought it was my lucky night. I jumped to bring her back to my place. Believe it or not, but it's been a while since I had company. 123 00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:06,852 Do you see the woman who approached you in these photos? 124 00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:17,729 That's her. That's the crazy girl that roofied me. The redhead, that's her. Yes, her. [sighs] She seemed so pleasant. And you are certain that you were drugged? 125 00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:19,197 Did you get a tox screening? 126 00:23:19,264 --> 00:23:33,545 No, but I'm sure she must have slipped something in my drink. 'Cause one minute, we're raising our glass to a chance meeting. And then I woke up in the morning. Things were going great. And then I woke up in the morning. Felt like I took a brick to the face. What did she steal from you? 127 00:23:33,612 --> 00:23:40,185 My laptop. My work lanyard was gone. She took my damn keys. For your home, car? 128 00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:52,798 And then some. Look, I'm a fleet manager over at NYEP, New York Eastern Power. Took facility keys, substation key fobs-- all gone. Boss is pissed, and I look like an idiot. What would she want with your work lanyard? 129 00:23:52,864 --> 00:23:55,333 I'm a third-generation IBEW. 130 00:23:56,234 --> 00:24:09,848 I run operations for every NYEP substation in Manhattan. Was this a personal laptop? I wish. I'm a civil engineer at Ford Michaelson. There was very sensitive information on that computer. What kind of sensitive information? 131 00:24:09,915 --> 00:24:17,189 My firm won a big contract. We're doing seismic updates, big infrastructure projects. Including Eastern Power facilities? 132 00:24:17,255 --> 00:24:32,804 Sure. Schematics, all kinds of info on that laptop. Well, you only need two things to access any Eastern Power facility. One, a company truck. And two, a working keycard. Of course, you wouldn't know how to navigate the site unless you had the blueprints stolen from the third target. So what are we saying? 133 00:24:32,871 --> 00:24:38,176 Warren is threatening some sort of attack on the city's infrastructure? 134 00:24:38,243 --> 00:24:44,516 Okay, so let's warn Eastern Power. There could be a security breach. And let's mobilize NYPD to all its facilities, yeah? 135 00:24:44,583 --> 00:24:56,328 The only thing we haven't figured out is how Brandon Kraczuk factors into this. We need to get his wallet to evidence, see what he's got worth taking. All right, let's get somebody to MTC. Brandon's lawyer bonded him out two hours ago. What? 136 00:24:56,394 --> 00:25:03,702 Well, if Warren needed something from Brandon and didn't get it, Warren could already be after him. Get Maggie and OA to Brandon's apartment now. 137 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,890 Got a body. 138 00:25:33,865 --> 00:25:35,400 It's Brandon. He's dead. 139 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:02,093 Ah! [glass shatters] [coughing, groaning] 140 00:26:07,132 --> 00:26:09,000 [groaning] OA. 141 00:26:11,836 --> 00:26:13,271 Go. 142 00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:53,078 It's over, Warren! [panting] Hands up. And get down on your knees. Now! 143 00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:59,317 It doesn't matter. You think you can prevent the day of reckoning? 144 00:27:01,853 --> 00:27:04,689 The clocks will be reset. 145 00:27:16,101 --> 00:27:23,608 You murdered three women, Warren. You had them drug and rob three different male targets. What are the stolen items that you killed for? 146 00:27:23,675 --> 00:27:34,719 The silent treatment is not gonna work. We have already tied your DNA and your fingerprints to the three victims. They won't be the last to die. Well, you are in here now, so how's that gonna work? 147 00:27:34,786 --> 00:27:44,829 Mm. Things always settle out in the end. Sometimes you just need to give them a little push. So there's a plan, something you need to push. Is that what you're saying? 148 00:27:44,896 --> 00:28:02,447 Jeez, I don't know what I'm saying sometimes. Your wife is here, in the city. She said she was worried about you. If you say so. Stolen keys, stolen lanyard, a laptop. What's it all for? What's the plan? 149 00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:10,355 The plan hasn't changed at all. You said that the clocks were gonna be reset. What's that all about? 150 00:28:11,856 --> 00:28:13,625 Warren. Hmm? 151 00:28:13,691 --> 00:28:15,960 What do you want? 152 00:28:16,027 --> 00:28:29,307 I want what we all want-- to live free. We are free. And so were you until you killed those women. I'm not. You aren't. We're all trapped. 153 00:28:30,842 --> 00:28:35,780 It's the one thing we have in common. Whose words are those? 154 00:28:35,847 --> 00:28:40,852 I don't think they belong to you. [laughs] You working with somebody? 155 00:28:40,919 --> 00:28:45,323 You have no idea what I'm capable of! Who are you're working with? 156 00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,092 Admit that you're trapped. 157 00:28:48,660 --> 00:29:03,174 Don't have time for this. If you can't see it, we got nothing to talk about. You're gonna remember this conversation when the judge signs your death warrant. You can't threaten me. I may be locked up now, but soon there will be no prisons. 158 00:29:04,709 --> 00:29:08,279 We'll finally hit the post. What post is that? 159 00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:10,482 Post-society. 160 00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:17,856 Hey, Ty, where you guys at? 161 00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:39,644 Uh, me and Kylie just went skating. Now we're gonna grab some lunch. You're still giving us a ride back later, right? Uh, no, look, I'm gonna need you and your pal to head home. I can't tell you why. It's a work thing, so I need you to take it seriously. Come on, Dad. - Yeah. Really, sorry. [sighs] All right. We'll head back. Tyler, what's going on? 162 00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:41,279 Call me when you get home, okay? 163 00:29:41,346 --> 00:29:43,114 I love you. 164 00:29:44,149 --> 00:29:45,884 My dad wants us to head back. 165 00:29:49,621 --> 00:30:03,601 So I dug into Warren's phone. He is very active on a private Telegram server, similar to the Terrorgram channels used by domestic terrorists. It is very grim stuff, accelerationists preaching about doomsday. Accelerationists. So what are we talking about? A hate group? 166 00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:13,511 Well, these people, they hate the world. Their channel isn't tied to any racist ideology. They call themselves 3rd Testament. And they're not religious extremists? 167 00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:26,324 Far from it. The only God that these people bow down to is chaos. They believe that violence is the ultimate motivator for change. Now, 3rd Testament was founded by this man, Chip McCaffrey. And have we tracked him down yet? 168 00:30:26,391 --> 00:30:57,755 Don't need to. He's dead, killed in a fire after a standoff with ATF in 2022. Right. The prophet is gone, but his song lives on. And these message boards, they are just an echo chamber for his members to provoke each other into committing more extreme acts of violence. And it looks like Warren took the bait. It appears that they goaded him into committing a lone wolf attack on Manhattan's critical infrastructure. Right. Well, Eastern Power deactivated all the stolen items, and ERT did a full sweep. They found nothing. What about Brandon Kraczuk's wallet? 169 00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:04,329 We never found it. What if he wasn't in that apartment alone? 170 00:31:04,395 --> 00:31:20,278 Goes there with the partner, kills the guy. And hands the wallet off to his partner. Right--Warren stays back to deal with the body. Then we bust in. Brandon Kraczuk is the project manager at Iron State Contracting. That means he'd have access to demo materials, heavy machinery, explosives. 171 00:31:21,546 --> 00:31:26,818 We need to find out who Warren has been in contact with. Let's get his wife in here. Yeah. 172 00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:53,111 Hey, bad news. Janice Stroud just bolted. That room she checked into, it was empty. She must have slipped away, and she powered down her phone. All right, we gotta find her now. Uh, boss, you should see this. 20 minutes ago, one of the stolen Eastern Power trucks pulled into this construction site. That's the construction site where Brandon Kraczuk works. Okay, so Warren Stroud is in custody. So who is driving that truck? 173 00:31:53,177 --> 00:31:55,480 Got another angle. There. 174 00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:16,701 Well, at least we found her. All right, folks, Warren Stroud is not working alone. Janice Stroud, his wife, is working with him. She just stole this truck, like they had planned, and is likely trying to finish what he started. I don't believe she's done. How much do you wanna bet that duffel bag is full of explosives? Yeah. We still got eyes on that truck? 175 00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:29,013 No. No, we're still looking. All right, everyone should be scrubbing. We need to find that vehicle. And somebody call Eastern Power. Make sure those stolen keycards are deactivated. I'm on it. Jubal! Looks like the truck just crossed the toll in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. 176 00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:31,883 Okay, what does Eastern Power have near there? 177 00:32:31,949 --> 00:32:39,023 The Metropolitan Grid substation. It uses insulating gas to protect high-voltage equipment. It's just a few blocks away. 178 00:32:40,491 --> 00:32:42,527 All right. Get a team there right now. 179 00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:49,067 Hey, Dad. - Hey, Tyler. What's going on, buddy? Not a great time. Are you on the train? 180 00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:57,075 We were about to, but look, you always said if I saw something that looked off, I should call you. - Uh, yeah, sure. What'd you see? 181 00:32:57,141 --> 00:33:09,954 Kylie and I were headed to the train just now, and we heard gunshots. Tell him about the guys. And then we saw two guys rush out of a van and head into this building. They had guns and a big rolling briefcase. Where--where is this? 182 00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:19,263 We're on Hudson, like, four blocks away from your office. Uh, okay. I'm gonna have somebody check it out. But I need you and Kylie to get in a taxi right now and go home. Do you understand? 183 00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:26,971 Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. You did good, Ty. Call me when you're home. Scola and Eva just landed at the substation. 184 00:33:31,976 --> 00:33:34,312 Scola, that's the truck. 185 00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:44,756 All right, Jubal. Got eyes on Janice. She's held up at the gate with the keycard. We're moving in. 186 00:33:47,024 --> 00:33:49,594 Janice, it's the FBI. All right? 187 00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:54,132 I need you to step out of the truck slowly with your hands in the air. 188 00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:05,209 [tires squealing] She's going! 189 00:34:11,549 --> 00:34:18,790 She's headed for the transformers! Everybody, get back! Get out! Get out! Go! 190 00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:24,429 Scola! Back down! [gunfire] 191 00:34:26,264 --> 00:34:34,371 Okay, we got the live feed out from the substation. Okay, here we go. There's Janice. Where's she going? 192 00:34:34,438 --> 00:34:41,646 Keep--keep an eye on her. Yep. [gunfire] Jubal, we got an active shooter. Send backup. Who's our shooter? Kelly. Yeah? Who's our shooter? 193 00:34:41,712 --> 00:34:47,018 I'm not getting any hits, Jubal. Okay, I got Janice. She's entering the substation. 194 00:34:54,091 --> 00:35:00,998 Whoa, is that-- PBX, polymer-bonded explosives, and not just a single serving. Scola, Eva, are you there? 195 00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:18,916 [gunfire] All right, Jubal, tell me you're up on this place! Yeah, we're patched in. We've got your eyes. Our suspect is in possession of PBX explosives. How much? Enough to take down the whole damn substation and more. She's currently attaching it to the gas line. Do we know where that is? Where is she? 196 00:35:18,983 --> 00:35:24,922 Transformers there on the second floor of the tower. All right, she went to the second floor. Get up there when you can safely. 197 00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:58,422 We need more boots on the ground. Yeah, on it. Oh, I dispatched a team to check something out nearby. Why? Tyler's in the city. He saw two men run into a building with guns. Where? Uh, Hudson, right here. We haven't heard back from the team yet, but-- No, negative. 60 Hudson. It's a lighthouse, a building that houses all the fiber optic cable for the city. Every telecom emergency service lane convenes at the base of that building. This isn't a lone wolf event. This is a wide-scale attack. They're targeting Lower Manhattan. Okay, we need backup to 60 Hudson right now. 198 00:36:04,428 --> 00:36:06,597 Alpha Team secure the area, the rest with us! 199 00:36:15,206 --> 00:36:17,041 Whoa, whoa, whoa! Get down! 200 00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:26,584 Wait for the reload. 201 00:36:29,153 --> 00:36:33,324 Cover us, now! [gunfire] 202 00:36:36,994 --> 00:36:41,799 [gunshot] [grunts] Suspect down. Janice is on the West Tower, second floor. 203 00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:57,114 She armed the bomb. 204 00:36:58,916 --> 00:37:02,186 Janice! Go, go, go. I'll get her! 205 00:37:08,392 --> 00:37:11,762 OA, cut the blasting cap to neutralize the device completely. 206 00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:33,884 It's over. You're damn right it is. It's all over. 207 00:37:38,956 --> 00:37:43,694 Oh, God. What the-- what the hell just happened? 208 00:37:47,632 --> 00:37:49,834 Are you guys seeing this? 209 00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:51,902 Jubal, what the hell was that? 210 00:37:51,969 --> 00:37:53,604 How long until the generator kicks back in? 211 00:37:53,671 --> 00:37:55,973 It should be coming up. I-- We still got comms? 212 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,576 Hey, Maggie, OA, can you hear me? 213 00:37:58,643 --> 00:37:59,610 Maggie? 214 00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:02,246 Jubal, can you hear me? 215 00:38:02,313 --> 00:38:05,049 [static crackling] Comms are down. 216 00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:25,069 Somebody talk to me! Okay, okay, we've lost all contact with FDNY and NYPD. 911 emergency line is also down. We're completely dark here. Nothing is responding. No traffic cams, no pole cams. Hey, cell towers are not responding. They could be down or could just be overwhelmed. Jubal. Yeah. They did it. What? 217 00:38:25,136 --> 00:38:28,239 They took down the city's entire fiber optic network. 218 00:38:35,212 --> 00:38:49,293 Okay, guys, come on. [soft tones] Hey, you've reached Tyler. I'm not here right now. Leave a message after the beep. Come on, Tyler, pick up the phone. Jubal, the cell network is crashing. You're not gonna get through. Jubal. Jubal! 219 00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:23,627 Okay. Keep going, keep going. OA, check them out. I got her. Keep going, you guys. All right. Come on, guys. Get out of here, please. Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Can you get up? Can you get up? Can you walk? 220 00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:36,474 Everybody... Easy. Keep going. Keep going. We need help! [sirens wailing] I need some help here! Help! Need some help! I got you. 221 00:39:39,610 --> 00:39:48,486 That's it. That's it. Tyler! Tyler! Jubal? 222 00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:54,125 Tyler! Tyler! 223 00:39:56,594 --> 00:40:07,171 No, no, no, no. No, no. Tyler. Oh, God. Tyler. Okay, Tyler, listen to me. You're gonna be okay. Your dad is here, okay? 224 00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:11,342 I need a doctor or medic! Jubal? 225 00:40:11,408 --> 00:40:14,612 Maggie! Maggie! Is that you, Maggie? 226 00:40:14,678 --> 00:40:17,982 Please, I need to get him to the hospital! Get me a medic now. Okay, I'm on it. 227 00:40:19,416 --> 00:40:32,696 Tyler, look at me. Wake up, please. Look at me, buddy. Tyler. Tyler. Please. Please wake up, buddy. Come on. Please give me something. I need you. Please, buddy. 228 00:41:07,464 --> 00:41:09,166 [wolf howls] ic]
