All language subtitles for FBI S05E14

1,000 packs, all ones.

100 Gs total, right?

Yeah.

Here's your $100,000 back,
all big bills.

I can't believe you go
through this many dollar bills

every week, it's crazy.

What can I say?
Customers have to make it rain.

Surprising, in this economy.

Strip joints are
recession-proof.

Guys will give up
their morning lattes

before they give up
their lap dances.

That's a fact.

Keeping the economy going,
one dollar bill at a time.

I'll see you next week.

Come on, come on. Big money.

Hey!

Freeze!

That sounds good. OK.

Yep.

Mortgage is all set, and
the broker is ready to close

whenever we are.

OK.
I'll talk to you later.

Oh, you're really
going through with it.

Yes, ma'am.
Full steam ahead.

You only live once, right?

Bless you for not saying YOLO.

Here, check it out.
It's sick.

I mean, this is so nice.

You can afford this?

- What?
- I make what you make.

Ah, but it is not what you
make, it is how you invest it.

Oh, I didn't realize

you were an investment guru
all of a sudden.

I'm not a guru.
I just got into

the right investments
at the right time, I guess.

Oh. Good for you.

Like, when did you

start to care so much
about material things?

I'm not materialistic.

That watch?

I guess I'm just done
saving for a rainy day.

We work hard.
Can't take it with you.

For example,
when I look at this watch...

- Mm-hmm.
- It brings me joy.

It's kind of like an emotional
return on my investment.

- Some might call it a dividend.
- Mmm.

Hey. Armored car robbery.

Jubal wants us all to
head down to the scene.

You coming?

Yes.

Yeah, I get it.
I really do.

But what if it doesn't
bounce back?

Based off of what, a hunch?

Listen, I really appreciate
your confidence, Jordan.

But I was hoping for
a little bit more.

Let's just sell it now,

before this crypto madness
gets any crazier.

What are you talking about,
it fell another 10%?

OK. Hold it, then.
For now.

OK. I'll call you back.

Please tell me that
you are not thinking

about buying crypto.

No, uh, it's just
getting hammered right now.

So I thought it might
be a good time to...

Good time to what,
catch a falling knife?

Look. Stay away, OA.
OK?

You want to buy the dips,
S&P 500, OK?

It's real companies, real
businesses, real cash flow.

Hey, perp hit the first guard
in the head with a gun,

grabbed the cash, and took off.

Other guard was waiting
in the car, hopped out.

Took some fire, but the guy
managed to get away.

- Shell casings?
- Found two on the sidewalk.

All right, we'll need
to take those back to 26 Fed.

The security guard that
got pistol whipped,

- is he doing OK?
- A concussion, a few stitches.

- We sent him to the hospital.
- He get a look at the perp?

No.
He said he got hit from behind.

About 6 feet or so,
medium build.

What about his skin color?

Couldn't really get a good look.

Uh, he was wearing a mask,
a balaclava.

- Black, I think.
- Did he say anything?

No, nothing.

It all happened so fast.

I saw him draw down on me.

I heard the gunshots.
I saw the muzzle flash, even.

I thought that was it, for real.

I just, uh...
My lucky day, I guess.

Look like you have
a lot of cameras.

Uh, seven.

Yeah, we're going to need
that footage right away.

All right, folks.

So NYPD has handed us an
armored car robbery case.

Appears to be the fifth one
in the last 24 hours,

by the same guy,
who appears to be working solo.

The most recent robbery,
you can see the perp here,

he fires at the guard,
missing him completely.

So either he's terrible
with a gun,

or he wasn't actually
trying to kill him.

You can see from a robbery
earlier today, the same perp.

You can also see
he's desperate for cash.

And like I always say...

Desperation makes
people dangerous.

Well, close.

Desperation makes people
more dangerous.

This guy is definitely no pro.

I mean, it looks like he didn't
even think about the driver,

or taking the first
security guard's pistol.

Yeah, well, that matches with
the original theory

that this is about desperation.

Maybe the guy isn't
a real criminal.

Just needs cash, fast.

Or he's a drug addict.

Did we ever see
where the perp went?

Yeah. just found
this video footage,

six blocks away from
the most recent crime scene.

OK.

Lookie, lookie.
We got a getaway car.

Can we tighten up that shot,
see if we can get a plate?

Copy that.

Yeah.
Running those tags right now.

- Thank you.
- Yep.

The car was reported stolen
this morning, 7:26 AM.

All right, that's
a pretty new-looking car.

Let's see if we can access
the car's GPS.

On it.

GPS shows the car is at
Humboldt and 61st.

OK.

The car should be somewhere
on this block.

Hey, I think that's it.

FBI! Don't move.

Go.

We have an armed robbery
in progress.

Suspect is running north
on foot on Diamond Street.

Hey, hey.

Jesus!

Whoa, whoa.

Tiff.

- FBI.
- What the hell?

I work here.
I'm the security guard.

We're looking for someone.

Did you see anybody
run through here?

I haven't seen anyone here
in the last seven months.

It's clear.

There he is.

I don't see him.

We lost eyes on our suspect.

He was last seen on the corner
of Larson and 87th.

We got some money back here.

This bag actually looks like

the same deposit bag
from the strip club.

All right.
You guys start with the Audi.

Dust for prints, DNA.

Make sure you bag up
all this cash in here.

- Excuse me.
- Anything?

No.

Hey, Jubal.

- Still nothing on the ground.
- Yeah, same with us.

We're up on all the traffic
cams in the vicinity, but...

- It's like he disappeared.
- For now, but we'll find him.

What do we know about
the actual robbery

at the check cashing store?

Yeah, OA and Scola
are speaking to witnesses

at the scene.

He grabbed Peter, the guard,

put a gun to his head,
asked for money.

So I emptied my safe
into a shopping bag.

$26,000.

OK.

Any idea what
his skin color was?

No, but he sounded white.

- Sounded?
- Please.

I know what white people
sound like.

He was white, OK?

Cancel me if you want,
but he's white.

Probably from Brooklyn.

We got it.

Here's the video.

The bag you put the money in,

it said "I Love New York" on it?

Yeah.
It was next to my chair.

I went shopping this morning.

Thanks for your help.

What...
Hey, what about my money?

We'll do what we can.

You'll do what you can?

What does that mean, huh?

Seriously?

What's all this
"same day loan" stuff about?

Means what it says.
Same day loans.

Not everything is a trick,
my friend.

Yeah, I'm not so sure
about that.

What're you really asking, huh?

You need money?

I might.

Something short term.
36, maybe 60 days.

So he comes out of the
side door of the factory,

comes this way.

Unfortunately,
there's not a lot of cameras.

Tiff.

Balaclava.

And I've got a black jacket.

So he did run past here.

So why can't the JOC find him
on the street cams?

Because he took the subway.

All right.
Any luck?

No angle of the dumpster,

no angle of the subway entrance.

What about in
the subway station?

Yep.
I got a shot of a man,

no jacket,
holding a plastic bag.

OK, so the check cashing
manager said he put it in a bag

that says "I Love New York."

Zoom in on the bag.

Yeah.
There it is.

- Can you push in on the suspect?
- Yep.

Well, that's the same bag,
but a different guy.

Got a hit.
Name is Michael Holt, age 35.

Pretty impressive jacket, too.

Aggravated assault, robbery,
and several drug offenses.

Yeah, but the bag is
too distinctive

for it to be a coincidence.

Must be an accomplice.
Robber handed it off.

This new player have an address?

Nothing recent.

Do see a 2006 Toyota
registered in his name.

Better than nothing.

And he was issued a free
cell phone three weeks ago,

under the Affordable
Connectivity Program.

There you go.
Ping it.

Cell signal is still live.

Shows it's within 500 yards.

Hold on.

I think I see his car.

It's Holt.

OK.

Tiff and I are going
to follow them in.

You guys secure the front.

FBI!

Show us your hands.
Now.

Hey!

- Put the gun down, now.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, hey.

Y'all put your guns down,
or I'll shoot him in the head.

Don't be stupid.

Put down your weapon, now.

Think I'm kidding?
I'll shoot him.

And then what?

You got no leverage.

We're here to arrest him.

All you'll be doing
is saving us paperwork.

Either way, you wind up dead,
you understand me?

OK. OK.

Don't shoot, please.

Hands!
Hands in the air, now.

- On the wall.
- Turn around.

Now.

- What the hell's going on?
- We're arresting you.

That's what the hell
is going on.

Karim, it's Omar.

Yes, I got your email, but, um,

your terms seem
a little ridiculous.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, risk?

My credit is nearly perfect.
You said it yourself.

My mortgage is at 7%.

Where do you get off
charging 18%, hmm?

Let me call you back.
OK.

Uh, Isobel wants us
to talk to Holt.

Love it.

- You good?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

You sure?
You need to talk?

Oh, no.
That was nothing, I promise.

All right, well,
let's break this idiot down,

get a confession.

Wake up.

So among other things,
we have you on armed robbery

of this check cashing place.

Yo, whoa!
You're wrong, man.

Yo, I didn't rob anyone,

especially no damn
check cashing place, man.

I'm not stupid.

We just caught you
buying a pound of cocaine

with $26,000 in stolen cash.

And you had your phone on you.

That means we can
track you, see?

Seems pretty stupid to me.

All right, maybe so.
But listen, I didn't...

I didn't rob anyone.

Michael, we found
the bag that the owner

put the cash in
in the back seat of your car.

It wasn't mine.

I snatched it from
a sketchy-looking dude.

What are you talking about?

Yeah.

The... the way he was
looking around all nervous,

clutching the bag, I figured
he had something good in it.

So when he was distracted,
I pushed him down the stairs,

and I grabbed the bag.

And yo, when I looked inside
and I saw the cash,

I mean, yo, that was like
a dream come true, man.

That's your defense?

You took it off
of some random guy?

Yo, it's the truth, man.
I swear.

I... I saw an opportunity,
and I took it.

OK.

Let's play this out
for a second.

What did this sketchy guy
look like, hmm?

It was a white dude,
maybe 40, not big, not small.

That narrows it down

to about a quarter
of the city's population.

You're going to need to be
a little more specific here.

Look, what can I say?

I'm not good at
remembering stuff, man.

Michael.

If you don't want to be charged
with armed robbery,

you're going to have
to give us something

a little better than that.

'Cause right now,
it is kind of hard to believe

- anything you're saying.
- Bro, I'm serious, man.

I'm not great at
remembering faces.

Yo, how about this?

Um, the... the guy had
really expensive shoes on.

Like... like, really
expensive-looking shoes.

That... that much I can remember.

Hey.

Unfortunately for us,
Michael was telling the truth.

- Ian?
- Yeah.

I found this scrubbing
the station footage.

So Michael is a crook, but
not the one we're looking for.

Yeah, we got video footage
of the Jackson Avenue platform

where Michael said
he grabbed the bag.

OK, OK.

All right, he looks upset,
like he's looking for someone.

Assuming it's Michael,
since he just took his money.

Can we run facial rec?

Negative.
Poor image quality, bad angle.

Hold up.
Rewind it.

Zoom in on the shoes.

I recognize that brand.

Those are $1,400 a pop.

- For those?
- Yeah.

- How do you even know that?
- I like shoes.

I was thinking about
maybe getting some.

But obviously, uh, I didn't.

The fact that you
even thought about that

- is scaring me.
- Hey, fellas.

Sorry to interrupt,
but we got street-level footage

above
the Jackson Avenue station.

Looks like he's searching
for Michael.

He gets into a cab.

- Can we see his plate?
- Yes, ma'am.

All right, call the cab company,

see where they dropped
this guy off at.

Cab driver said that
he went straight inside

- after he got dropped off.
- It's been a few hours.

- You think he's still here?
- He just lost a bag of cash.

I mean, he could be robbing
this place, for all we know.

OK, we'll take the front,
you guys take the back,

you guys be our eyes out here.

I'm Agent Zidan.

This is Agent Scola,
with the FBI.

Have you seen this guy
around here?

Yeah, that's the owner.
Tom.

Tom Hoffman.

Is he here?

Yeah.
He's over there by the bar.

Suspect is in the building.

Excuse me, guys.

- Excuse me.
- Oh!

Hey, hey,
watch where you're going.

Hey... hey, man,
who do you think you are?

Do yourself a favor.
Take a seat.

He's on the move.

He's got to be in
one of these rooms.

Get out!

Let's go.

- Ah.
- Oh!

- Get out of the way!
- Hey!

You're not supposed
to be in here!

Move!

- Whoa.
- Hey!

He's headed out back.

Whoa.

Drop your gun.

Slowly.

Thomas Hoffman...

You are under arrest
for armed robbery,

attempted murder...

And for spending $1,400
on those stupid shoes.

I'm not a bad guy.

Well, you robbed people,

shot at them,
pistol whipped them...

Very definition of a bad guy.

I wasn't trying to kill anyone.

Oh, God.
Trust me, I was just...

I was just trying
to scare them, you know?

Keep them from trying
to do something heroic.

We all do dumb stuff
when we're scared, right?

I mean,

the truth is,
I-I didn't have a choice.

I mean, he said he
was going to kill me

if I didn't get him his money.

Who are we talking about?

Mason Simonian.

I owe him 300 grand.

He said if I didn't
pay by tomorrow,

he'd kill my parents,
and then me.

Well, then, you should
have gone to the cops.

Told them what was going on.

But you didn't,
because you're lying.

I'm not.

You hear about
that family of four

that was found
shot to death last week?

Yeah, it happened in Queens.

That was Mason.

Father owed him $100K.

Dude wiped out his whole family.

He bragged about it.

He said he was going
to do the same to me.

OK.

Look, why do you owe this
Mason guy so much money?

Stupidity.

Lots of bad luck, too.

You got to understand,
I grew up dirt poor.

I saved.

I... I worked a nine to five
for 10 years,

until I was able
to open that club.

And then
I finally started living...

Like, really living.

And when I'd need cash,
I'd go to him.

It was dumb, I know.

But the banks,
they wouldn't touch me.

I-I got bad credit.

But Mason,
he gave me what I needed.

Yeah, it was like
a disease, man!

I wanted everything...
Cars, women, boats.

And I was making
good money, too.

Like, for real.

My investments were
going through the roof, but...

But what?

Market went south,

especially my crypto stuff.

Markets will do that sometimes.

It... it dropped so fast.

Well, look, maybe your lawyer
can figure out a way

to spin all this idiocy into
some sort of insanity deal.

So you think this
loan shark is real?

Yeah, I mean, Hoffman just
got arrested for about

six felonies, and all
he seems concerned about

is this Simonian character.

Hey, Tricia.

Does Organized Crime have
anything on Mason Simonian?

He appears to be
a high-level target.

Lots of open investigations.

Case agent who's been tracking
him is here in the building.

- You want to talk to her?
- Yeah.

Yeah, tell her it might be
beneficial for both of us.

Mason Simonian
is a dangerous man.

Do you think he's
capable of murder?

He might be good for the
killing of a family in Queens?

100%.
Take a look.

What kind of animal
would do something like that?

We think he's good for
five or six other

unsolved murders, too.

But so far, he's managed
to stay out of reach.

We looked at this guy's record.

He's got plenty of priors...
Drug sales, sex trafficking.

How hard can it be
to make a case on him?

He's smart.
Got himself a jailhouse PhD.

Truth is, he's hard
to get close to.

Well, until now.

I think we may have found
a way to nail this guy.

Are you crazy?

I'm not helping you
set up Simonian.

If I flip on him,
then I'm a dead man,

and so is my family.

Then you'll sit in an 8-by-10
cell for the next 20 years.

He looks scared.
He might not bite.

If he's telling the truth
about Simonian, he'll roll.

How explicit are
Simonian's threats?

What exactly does he say?

He exactly said that he's
going to shoot my parents

and then put a bullet
in my head,

just like he massacred
that other family.

Then the only way that we are
going to be able to get this guy

is if you wear a wire.

How much time are you
going to shave off, huh?

Can't give you a number,
all right?

But we will put in a good word
with the US attorney,

let them know
that you helped us out,

tell them what kind of stress
you've been under.

OK.

I'm in.

Hey guys,
Mason's just pulled up.

He's headed inside
with another guy.

I have eyes on them now.

They're headed towards
Hoffman's table.

Mason.

Appreciate you
meeting me like this.

Sit down.

Where's my money?

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

I'll have it,
just not by tonight.

That's bad news.

He hates bad news.

Here's, uh, 40 grand.

And I'm good for the rest,
I swear.

I just need another day or two.

Two days?

I thought I told you
what'll happen if you're late.

I know.

You think I want to get iced
like that family in Queens?

What'd you say to me?

I'm... I'm just saying,
I don't want any problems.

Hey, Tiff.
He's not taking the bait.

I think Hoffman's
getting nervous.

Let me get him back on track.

Hey, fellas.

Can I get you
something to drink?

Nah, we're good.
Thank you.

We're just doing some
business here, sweetie.

Yeah?
How's that going?

Who the hell is this bitch?

One, I'm not a bitch.

Two, I'm his girl.

So I know all about
your business.

You've been running your mouth
about our thing, huh?

Yeah, just to her.

Because I'm the solution.

And how's that, sweetie?

My father, he's rich.

I can get you
the rest of the money,

but it's going to take
a couple of days.

And what if I don't want it
in a couple of days?

What if I want it now?
Can you get it?

You've got to keep pushing,
Tiff.

We need an overt threat.

No, why should I?

Because I'm losing
my patience, that's why!

Do you want that to happen?

You kill him, you get nothing.

Excuse me?

Who said anything
about killing people?

Her old man has it, Mason,
and more, in the house safe.

All she needs is time to get it
when he ain't home.

Money is due tomorrow.

You two do what you need
to get it.

If not, there's penalties.

It's too vague.
He's giving us nothing.

Right.
All right, Tiff.

He's going to have to take the
bait money, at the very least.

Otherwise, we have no case.

Just take the $40,000.

We'll get you the rest tomorrow.

Yeah, she's good for it...

All or nothing,
by midnight tomorrow.

Let's go.

So our friends in
Organized Crime were right.

Mason's smart.

Today, maybe.

We'll take another run
at him tomorrow.

Hopefully, he'll be
a little more agitated

- after the deadline passes.
- Yeah.

Maggie,
transport Hoffman back here.

We're going to try again
tomorrow.

Copy that.

Suspects are away.

Simonian did a pretty good job.

Let's be real.

I mean, Hoffman's an idiot.

Came on way too hard,
made the guy nervous.

You don't really
like this guy, do you?

Hoffman?
Please.

He's like the worst
kind of guy there is.

He spends more than he makes,

wants everybody to think
he's a big shot.

Guys like that, all that
insecurity and bravado...

They get what's coming to them,
trust me.

I'll take that as a yes.

Sorry.

I guess I'm just
sensitive about all that

high roller crap, you know?

Why is that?

My dad lived like that.

Worked in real estate.

And everything he had,
leveraged to the hilt.

Every deal,
all or nothing, you know?

I mean, we did... we lived well,

Park Avenue,
house on the Connecticut shore.

But it was all an illusion.

He had almost nothing
when he died, you know?

Wouldn't know from
the outside world.

Didn't have any equity.

So I guess that's why
I'm so careful.

Oh.

Nina's calling me.
I'ma jump out and get this.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

Karim?

It's Omar.

Yes, it is about the loan.

But listen, it's not
going to work out, OK?

The interest rates are too high.

I'm sorry, 14%?

OK, um, now you're talking.

What about closing costs?
You handle those, too?

Hey, hey!

- They grabbed Tiff!
- What?

Simonian and his guy,
they grabbed Tiff and the bag.

- Go, go!
- I'm going.

Maggie, we have a situation.

Simonian took Tiff and the cash.

This is Scola.

We are in need of
immediate air support.

We are in pursuit of
a gray BMW, no plates,

headed west on 132nd Street.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's going on?

Damn it!

Hey, FBI.
Move the truck!

- Move it!
- Federal agent.

- Move the truck, now!
- Move!

Now!

All right, all right,
all right, I got it! Hold on.

Easy, easy. Okay.

Come on, come on.
Where are you?

Scola, I don't see him.
I don't see him.

Jubal, we lost them.

Let's go, folks.

Find that BMW.

Ian, I want a BOLO out
on Simonian's car.

I want every local agency
looking.

On it.

Hey, we managed to
reactivate Tiff's button cam.

Angle's bad.
She might be unconscious.

Hey.

How you like being involved
in my business now?

It's him. Mason.

Hello?

Yeah, I got your girlfriend.

You want her back in one piece,
you talk to her old man.

Get my money.

OK. OK.
Just don't hurt her, please.

I'll get it.
Where can we meet?

I'll call you in an hour.

Get the money first,
then we'll meet.

Hey.
Maggie arrived with Hoffman.

Where are we at?

Yeah, we tried pinging the
phone Simonian called from.

But it's turned off.
OK. Here we go.

Wait, what happened?

The power on the button cam
must have run out.

Yeah, there's nothing
I can do on this side.

OK, let's play with the footage,

see if there's something
we can use,

an address, a street sign.

There's no street signs
that I can see, but...

That's Simonian's house.
It's on Stillwell, 1,700 block.

All right.
That's in Brooklyn.

Get everyone and everything
we have there, now.

Yeah.

No safe way to make a dynamic
entry in a place like this.

Might be best to contain first,
then make contact.

Try to negotiate
a safe resolution.

No, these guys are not going
to talk or surrender.

- We have to move now.
- No, he's right.

Our best bet is
just to overwhelm them

- with speed and power.
- I think the risk is...

This is not up for debate.

Just giving my opinion.
The call's yours.

Yeah, and we just made it.
So we're doing this.

- You good?
- What are you talking about?

I'm saying, if you want
to sit this one out...

No, Scola.
I'm good.

I'm good.

Drop the gun!

Keep clearing. On me.

Come on in!

It's Simonian.
He's down.

Tiff!
Scola, in here.

We got you.

Hey, we got you.

We got you,
we got you, we got you.

- Let's get her on the chair.
- Easy.

Nice and easy.

Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm just dizzy.
- Oh, OK. All right.

Let me take a look.

All right. OK.

You're gonna need
a few stitches,

but you should be fine.

Tiff, I should've been there.
I'm so sorry.

No. Stop, OK?

It happened so fast.
It's not your fault.

Thank God you're OK.

We got her.

We got her.

So...

Simonian is dead?

Yeah.

And are my parents OK?

They're fine.

What now?

Well, you kept your end
of the bargain,

so we'll keep ours.

So you're going to fight for me?

Ask the prosecutors
to give me a good deal?

I'm going to do everything
that I can, OK?

But you will have
to do some time.

There just isn't
a way around that.

I'm such an idiot, man.

I threw my life away over what?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, man.

Are you good?

Yeah.

I'm just going to
finish up this report.

- No problem.
- OK.

'Cause Maggie just told me
that you were trying to close

on a new condo?

OA, is that why
you were shutting me out?

Because I was being harsh
about the...

No, no, no, no.

You were just being honest,

and there's nothing wrong
with that.

'Cause I'm happy to help.

If you need extra cash
to close the deal...

Nope.
I, uh... I killed it.

I'm not going to buy it.

The carrying costs
would have buried me, so...

I don't really want to live
paycheck to paycheck.

OK, but if you kill the deal,

won't you lose
the good faith deposit?

It's not ideal.

Um, but it's better than
the alternative.

You sure?

New condo, New York City...
It's a good investment.

Definitely better than
all that crypto nonsense.

I appreciate the offer, Scola.

But I'm good.

OK.

Uh, look.

I don't know how to say this.

I consider us
to be good friends.

So...

the next time you're in a jam,

just come talk to me.

OK?

All right?

Thank you.
