News anchor:
The senior United States Senator from New York,

Walter Carson,
has been shot multiple times

outside of a house
in Scarsdale, New York.

The area around the home
remains an active crime scene,

and few details have emerged

about what is already
the highest-profile shooting

of an American politician
in a generation.

Seth: Was this political?
Do we know?

We don't know.
Have others been shot?

We don't know.
Whose house is this?

The Senator's, I assume.

Don't assume,
'cause it isn't.

Senator Carson lives
on the Upper East Side.

We don't know
whose house this is,

we don't know why he was there,
we don't know why he was shot.

This could be a home invasion,
some random crime,

it could be a political hit,
it could be a domestic dispute.

We don't know.

And until we know,
we don't know --

[ Cellphone rings, beeps ]

What do you know?

Nothing. And if I did,
I couldn't talk about it.

I'm just asking --
Are we picking this up?

I don't know.

You okay?

[ Sighs ]

Carson handed me my diploma
at Stuyvesant High in '89.

I was a volunteer
on his '92 campaign.

♪♪

I got to go.

Okay, we're getting word

from University Memorial
Hospital...

63-year-old United States
Senator Walter Carson has died

as a result
of multiple gunshot wounds.

Senator Carson becomes

the first United States Senator
killed in office

since the man who previously
held this same seat

was gunned down
in California in 1968 --

New York Senator
Robert F. Kennedy.

Man: The senator's son
lives in Scarsdale.

Just moved in.
This was his house.

What are you guys
wearing?

Who are you?
Ted. Who are you?

You're not Ted.
Who is this?

Ted. Ted is our
new investigator.

Well, our old investigator
was named Ted.

I know.
It's confusing.

Oh, it's actually
not that confusing.

You just need to remember
your investigator is named Ted.

This was
the Senator's son's house.

Maybe he was shot
at his son's house

because there was
less security there?

Senators don't have full-time
security outside of Washington.

Sir, FBI is confirming
Senator Carson was shot

by local police.
The police?

That doesn't make any sense.
Senator Carson is white.

A 911 call was made
to Scarsdale police

reporting an active shooter
at this residence.

The police responded
with more than 50 officers

from seven different
departments,

including
the Special Response Team.

Senator Carson
apparently

ran out the doorway
after his grandson

and was shot
on the front porch.

The boy was uninjured.

-I rep WorldWarBlood.
-What?

It's a video game,
WorldWarBlood.

Online multiplayer.

This dude in my Pillage Guild --
MySoCalledKnife --

bet me he could beat me
to a hundred caps, so --

Okay, okay, stop. Back up.
What is your name?

Julian.
Okay, Julian.

What does "WorldWarBlood"
and "Pillage Guild" and "Caps"

have to do
with the Senator?

I had a disagreement
with MySoCalledKnife,

and, you know, it --
it got a little out of control.

And he was like,
"Why don't you swat me, then?"

And I was like, "Fine, I will,"
so I just --

Wait, why --
why don't you what me?

My God.
This was a swatting.

S-Swatting.
Nobody?

Really? Really?
Ted.

Why does his name
have to be Ted?

Swatting is when
someone calls 911 and reports

that something horrible
is happening at some address --

an active shooter,
a bomb, hostages --

and the police send
a Special Response Team --

a SWAT team -- and everyone
there is terrorized.

It's big in the gamer community.

He gave me his address,
so I did it.

Except the address
he gave you --

Wasn't his.

It was the son
of a United States Senator.

I didn't know that.

How hard is it to trace
these 911 calls?

I used a tor browser and spoofed
the call in a VOIP network

to mask the number.

Difficult.
Not impossible.

You don't have to
turn yourself in, Julian.

I'm not advising you not to.
I'm not advising you to.

I-I-I don't want a bunch of cops
coming to my house.

My mom, she doesn't
need to see that.

I messed this up.

If you're not
gonna help me,

I'll walk over
to the FBI myself --

Julian,
we are going to help you.

Ted, I want you to look
into everything you can

about Julian's past.

His online activity.

Sandra, you bought this one.
It's yours.

The government is going to file

Walter Carson was a tireless public servant,

a proud New Yorker,

a wonderful father and --

Swatting is not a joke.
[ Handcuffs click ]

It's an act of terrible
cowardice and cruelty.

And I can assure you
that this office

will bring every possible
resource to bear

in prosecuting Julian Sarco

to the fullest extent
of the law.

[ Indistinct shouting,

We've got nothing, do we?

We have Julian Sarco.

For filing a false report
to emergency services.

18 years old. No priors.

Maybe gets four years.

For killing
a United States Senator.

He didn't kill
a United States Senator.

What about the officer who did
kill a United States senator?

He acted
within protocol.

What else can we charge
Sarco with?

Sarco was in a Pillage Guild

That's his handle --

MySoCalledKnife has lots
of enemies within WorldWarBlood,

including

D-Don't say the names
anymore.

Uh, right.
So, when it looked like

Julian might not
go through with the swat,

Kim offered Julian
some online currency to do it.

Yeah.
So...conspiracy?

We need more.

Sandra: More?

That is everything Julian
has said in WorldWarBlood

over the last two years.

It's dark and threatening

It's bad for us.

Look, if you say so.

I do. I did.

Now, see,
if I was in your position,

I would think that that would be
helpful information to have,

and I would say,
"Wow, Ted, this is great.

How did you turn this up
so quickly?"

And you would say, "Aw, shucks,
just doing my job."

You're me
in this scenario.

And then I would say,
"I can't imagine you found anything else out

in such a short period
of time."

And you would say,
"Actually, I did." Mm-hmm.

"I also found out
Julian Sarco has swatted

six other times
in the past."

And I would say,
"Oh, my God.

That's so bad,
but so good to know.

Thank you." And I'd start
to walk away, so grateful.

But then you would say,
"Wait. One more thing.

The others
involved in this,

MySoCalledKnife
and KimJunMakeEmSayUn,

they have both been identified
and are being investigated,

but the focus
is on Julian

because he's the one who
actually made the phone call."

And I would say,
"You found all that out?

I'm speechless.

Who are you?"
Mm-hmm.

And then you would lean in
and say, "I am Ted."

And then
you'd walk away.

Get a job?

I film myself sitting

How is that a job?

How is that not a job?
Because you --

You know what? Doesn't matter.
The allegation is

you went into open houses
in your building

and stole prescription drugs
from your neighbors

and sold them.

Okay.
Are you done reaming me?

Let me set the scene here
for you.

I'm at an open house next door,
and I have to use the bathroom,

and Ms. Wilding has this
tub of Vicodin on the counter.

Like a wheelbarrow
of Vicodin.

And I'm like,
"Am I supposed to take this?

Why is it just
sitting there?"

Right? Are you with me?
No.

So I take 2 or 3 --
75.

And I'm not using them,

even though
I'm super depressed.

But my friend Burks
has a broken back.

Or something.

And he was like,
"If you give me the Vicodin,

I can give you a hundred
dollars" because he knows that

my parents screwed me
on my allowance.

So not a "sale."

That is a sale.

When is the lawyer
going to get here?

I'm the lawyer.

You're a lawyer?

I'm your lawyer.
I'm a federal public defender.

Whether or not
I go to jail

is in the hands
of a public defender?

We're preparing
a superseding indictment

with four
additional charges --

making a threat
in interstate communications,

cyberstalking, conspiracy,
wire fraud.

Wire fraud?

Julian isn't gonna
present well to a jury.

He's a kid. He has no criminal
history. He turned himself in.

He's an adult.

He engages in relentlessly
violent rhetoric online.

He's credibly tied to multiple
swatting incidents in the past.

He turned himself in because
he was going to be caught.

What are you offering?
Six years.

This is a kid
who made a phone call.

This is a phone call that killed
a United States Senator.

2 years' probation,
$10,000 fine.

Sarco pleads guilty
to conspiracy

and making
a false charge,

we'll recommend 5 years
in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Drop the conspiracy charge,
he'll plead to false report,

1 year in prison,
$15,000.

Four years in prison,

and he testifies
against MySoCalledKnife

and anyone else
involved in this.

That's as low
as we can go.

[ Sighs ]
That was the easy part.

Four years?
He's a teenager.

He -- He --
He did something stupid.

He's not a bad kid.

I mean, sometimes
I worried about

how much time he spent
on the computer,

but mostly I liked that
it kept him home, safe,

when I was at work.

I mean,
it's just a game, right?

Julian's never touched
a real weapon,

never even got
in a fist fight.

Four years
in federal prison?

For a phone call?

Four years in prison?

For killing my dad?

It's totally inadequate.
We agree.

But there's no federal law
that covers this kind of thing.

My father is dead.
They shot him.

Right in front of me,
in -- in front of my son.

And for what?

Some stupid fight
over a video game?

What kind
of sick person thinks

doing something like this
is funny?

How can you sit there and tell
me that's the best you can do?

Jill: Why don't you
come to bed?

[ Sighs ]
I can't sleep.

I would ask you if you
want to talk about it.

In the '92 campaign,

he'd come by the office

He was
very inspirational.

I became a lawyer
because of him.

Senator Carson inspired you to
defend the man who killed him?

from Holland, Michigan.

My press conference,
apparently.

The FBI is on it.

You said someone
offered Julian

online currency
in exchange for swatting?

Uh, yes, 475 Bloodoons.

That's the currency
in the video game.

Well, if Julian was paid
to make the 911 call,

we can get him
on murder-for-hire.

It was online currency.
Not real money.

The statute doesn't say
"real money."

it says murder in exchange for
"anything of pecuniary value."

What is the "pecuniary value"
of a Bloodoon?

Well, it must be something,
or people wouldn't kill for it.

You're talking about murder,
malice, intent to kill.

Where is the intent?

It's where he says
he intends to kill.

In a video game --
To a real person.

Murder-for-hire
is a capital offense --

Are you gonna
do your job or not?

I am doing my job.
This is my job.

I'm trying to determine
the appropriate charges.

[ Door closes ]
I understand what happened last night

was deeply upsetting,

For the people.

Now, there were over 400
swatting incidents

in this country last year,
and it's on the rise,

These are like catalogues
and stupid bills

and rando envelopes laying
around the co-op mailroom.

That's mail!

From which I am making art,
which I will sell,

because my parents are being
even more lame than usual.

How did the mail police

It was on your Instagram.
The art.

Oh, right.
That's cool.

No, it's not cool.

I'm gonna talk

He's reasonable.

You should be grateful.
Not all of them are.

We had a deal --
four years.

And now he's charging
murder-for-hire and conspiracy

and three
other new charges

that, alone,
could mean 8 to 12 years.

This is about last night,
isn't it?

Getting swatted.

I'm sure it is.

Julian had nothing
to do with that --

I know. It's emotional.
It's punitive, I know.

But Roger has the right
to charge

whatever he thinks
he can prove,

and if he thinks
he can prove this --

Can't you talk to him,
though?

You guys have
a relationship.

Well,
I don't mean that.

I wasn't suggesting...
I just...I just meant maybe

you can talk some sense into him
because this is insane.

A few cops show up
to his house,

tell him to put his hands up...
Sandra --

...which is what our clients
deal with every day --

It's not "a few cops,"
okay?!

He had
semi-automatic weapons

jammed into
the side of his head.

Have you ever been through
something like that?

Police screaming at you?
All at the same time?

And you can't move,
you can't talk.

Because those things might
get you shot in your home.

Don't be glib.

[ Sighs ] I will continue
to work on the case,

but when it comes
to sentencing... No.

...I feel strongly
about the application of the death penalty --

No, you will not continue
to work on the case.

You're taking me
off the case?

Yes.

Because I disagreed
with you?

'Cause I have someone else
working on it now.

Welcome home,
Mr. Knox.

-I don't want to hear it.
-It was too hot down there.

You have to breathe
through your mouth.

Don't try to charm
your way out of this.

It's not charming.
It's the opposite of charming.

What's the opposite
of charming? Seth.

How did this
even happen?

I called him,
like you told me to.

I didn't tell you to call him
and take my case.

I didn't call him
and take your case.

I called him,
he told me about the case

and said you didn't
want to add the charges.

I didn't.
So what's the problem?

Ohh, you couldn't have told me
you were coming back?

It all happened
so fast.

You quit your job
as Solicitor General of Texas,

you packed, you bought tickets,
you flew on an airplane --

I didn't want you
to talk me out of it.

When have I ever
talked you out of anything?

[ Sighs ]

I shouldn't have left
in the first place.

I had a choice.
I chose Texas.

That was a mistake
for lots of reasons.

I realized that, and this
was a chance to get back.

I thought -- I thought
I'd be helping you.

You didn't
do this for me.

What if I did?

Well, then,
you made another mistake.

And this case sucks,
by the way.

Sucks.

If you had any capacity
to be ashamed of yourself,

you would be.

You will be.

This is my office.

It was, yes.

I'm sure it's been
many people's office.

I'm sorry.
Are you just visiting, or --

No, I'm back.
Is that an Elvis clock?

[ Clock ticking ]

Uh, pretty cool, right?
No.

Hey, I'm gonna need
you to clear out of here.

You're back working here?

Roger brought me back to
work on the Julian Sarco case.

He called you back from Texas?
Yes.

From Texas?
Mm-hmm.

I'm back.

I see that.

I'm sorry.

If you want to

I'm sure I'll have another
chance at that with Kate.

But, anyway,
here we are.

Welcome back.

Agent Vinuza, you've had
a chance to review

the correspondence
in WorldWarBlood

between the defendant,
Mr. Sarco,

and another gamer who uses
the handle MySoCalledKnife?

That's correct.
In that correspondence,

did Mr. Sarco
ever explicitly threaten

to kill MySoCalledKnife?

He did. Repeatedly.

He said he would "waste him,"
"kill his sorry ass,"

that the "dudes who show up
at your house

are going to be ready to cap.
Keep your hands up."

♪♪

Agent Vinuza,
WorldWarBlood has

a feature called "M-Cloud,"
correct? Yes.

And M-Cloud is when

you drop a nuclear bomb
on one of your opponents?

That's correct. M-Cloud
stands for "Mushroom Cloud."

Isn't it true that Mr. Sarco
repeatedly threatened

to "M-Cloud" MySoCalledKnife?
Yes.

Didn't Mr. Sarco
tell MySoCalledKnife,

"I can't wait to see you
beg like a whiny little bitch

when I M-Cloud
your whole family"? Yes.

You don't have any evidence
that Mr. Sarco actually believed

he would or could
detonate a nuclear bomb

in order to kill
MySoCalledKnife, do you?

No, ma'am.

Agent Patel, you're an expert
on cybersecurity

within the FBI, correct?
That's correct.

In your review
of this case,

did the gamer
KimJunMakeEmSayUn

offer to pay,
and did he in fact pay

the defendant, Mr. Sarco,
to swat the home of Fred Carson,

which resulted in the death
of Senator Walter Carson?

Yes.

Paid in what currency,
Agent Patel?

Bloodoons.
I'm sorry? Bloodoons?

Is that
a foreign currency?

I'm not familiar
with what country --

Bloodoons is a virtual currency
in WorldWarBlood.

Inside the game?

Yes.
I see.

Do Bloodoons have any pecuniary
value outside the game?

No.

So, to be absolutely clear,

I couldn't go to the airport
right now and say,

"I'd like to buy
a one-way ticket to Texas.

Here's a billion
Bloodoons"?

I don't think you would
get on that flight.

♪♪

Agent Tate,
you've had an opportunity

to forensically analyze

the defendant's computer,
phone, tablets,

and other electronic devices
seized in a search of his home?

Yes.

Have you been
able to determine

whether the swatting incident
in this case

is the first one
Mr. Sarco has been involved in?

Your Honor.

If I could just
have a minute?

You can object
to this.

404b. Prior bad acts.
You can keep this out.

I don't want to
keep it out.

We're ready to proceed.

Do you have an objection,
Ms. Bell?

No, Your Honor.
The witness may answer.

Agent Tate: We believe that
Mr. Sarco has swatted

at least
six other times.

Was anyone killed
in any of those incidents?

No.

Physically injured
in any way?

No.

So, based on
those incidents,

Mr. Sarco would have
no reason to believe

that swatting results in anyone
getting physically injured,

much less killed,
correct?

That's difficult
for me to say.

Well, Agent Tate, it would be
hard to believe, would it not,

that Mr. Sarco really
intended to kill someone

when the weapon
he was allegedly using

had never previously resulted
in anyone even getting injured?

Objection!
Beyond the scope.

Calls for
a legal conclusion.

Sustained.

♪♪

I'm going to fix this.
I'm gonna figure something out.

I know what to do.

[ Clock ticking ]

Leonard Knox is back?

Uh, I guess so.
Not sure.

He took your office.

I like the light
in here more.

S-So, look,
we're back on Holiday.

Ah.
"Back on Holiday"!

[ Laughs ]

I did you a favor.
Once.

Not again.

Mail theft carries
a maximum of five years.

Whoa, Cobra Kai,
what's going on here?

This jackass comes back,
swipes your office,

and you want to take it out
on the only person in America

still using
the U.S. mail?

Save the analysis.
[ Pens clatter ]

O-Okay.
You're right.

Not cool.
Not personal.

You want to go
to the mat on this,

I'm good
for the fight.

I do think it's a colossal
waste of time,

and I know you're
better than this.

You pick
the right fights.

I can make this go away
with the Colgates

so we can both focus
on more important battles...

but [sighs]
that's up to you.

Would you please
tell the jury

about the moments leading up
to your father's death?

I was in the kitchen.

My dad, the Senator,

was in the living room
with my son, Jack,

building a balloon car.

We saw flashing lights
outside.

I looked out the window,
and...

I've never seen
anything like it.

A dozen squad cars,
tanks,

officers lined up
with automatic weapons.

We didn't know what the hell
was going on,

and everybody
started panicking.

My dad was calling his aides,
trying to get information.

And, in all the chaos,
I guess,

Jack must have slipped away,
ran to the front door.

He's 4.

Uh, I think
he heard "police,"

and he wanted to
see the police.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Voice breaking ]
Yeah, he loves police.

♪♪

Take your time.

Jack opened the door,

and my dad,
he just ran out after him.

Instinct.

He was like that.

He was fearless,
protective.

And then it was
like firecrackers.

So loud.

Somebody tackled me,

and somebody else
grabbed Jack,

and I...could hear
him crying,

screaming for my dad,

and I saw my dad
on the ground.

He'd been shot.

He was dead.
I knew that.

He was dead.

And then I heard Jack say,
"Grandpa, get up.

Come inside."

♪♪

That's what I heard my son say
when he looked at my dad.

♪♪

The killing of Senator
Walter Carson was a tragedy,

but it was not an accident.

It is critical
that you remember this.

What Fred Carson saw
on the porch of his house

was the direct consequence

of Julian Sarco's words
and actions.

This was exactly
what he intended to do.

This was why he called 911.

"Waste him,"
"kill his sorry ass,"

"send the cops, ready to cap."

That was what he wanted.

It doesn't matter that
he killed the wrong person.

That is irrelevant.

The law requires only
that he intended to kill...

and he did.

MySoCalledKnife
was an opponent,

and he was trying to
kill that opponent.

In real life. In the game.
It didn't matter to him.

Because there was
no difference to him.

M-Cloud, swat?

These are just moves
against another character.

And that's what
MySoCalledKnife was --

a character, not a person.

Julian never met him,
never talked to him,

doesn't have any idea what
he looks like, doesn't care.

He's a character,

and Julian wanted to destroy him
in any way that he could.

That's the world
Julian lives in.

But that's not the world
we live in.

We live in the real world,

where people bleed
and children cry,

where there is real loss
and deep pain.

Where people die
and don't get up.

I understand
why the government

brought this case
against Julian.

The circumstances
of Senator Carson's death

are tragic and frustrating

and, in many ways,
inexplicable.

How could this happen?
How could we let this happen?

Who can we blame?

Julian made a mistake,
but no one honestly believes --

least of all the fine lawyers
who filed these charges --

that Julian is
legally responsible

for Senator Carson's death.

No, these charges were filed

to make an example
out of Julian.

To say, "This stops here,"
and I agree.

We ought to take what happened
as a cautionary tale,

as an invitation for someone
to assume responsibility

for the troubled world
Mr. Knox so ably describes.

But we should take
responsibility for this.

Because his world,
it is our world.

That is the world we live in.

We drop bombs on places
halfway around the globe

from suburban office parks
a few miles from here.

We blast pictures of people
we've never met online.

We destroy reputations
with keystrokes.

We lead lives, many of us --

all of us in one way
or another --

that are detached,
artificial, simulated,

with fake money
and fake friends,

fake violence, fake love.

Julian didn't create this.

If we're going to make a change,

if we're going to make
ourselves human again,

if we're going to accept
responsibility

for how disconnected and
disassociated we've become...

let's do it together.

Don't point at Julian

and say he is that
and we are not.

Okay, let's go ahead
and stop that right now.

We are all here because we're
gonna have a talk together,

and I'm gonna go first,
and then we can all leave.

So, Holiday, your parents
are the ones turning you in.

Stoppppppp!

Is that true?

It is true.

They are turning you in

because they don't want you
to live at home anymore.

Now, let's talk
about that.

I live at home
with my parents.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,
Ms. Colgate, but it's true.

I live with my parents.
Always have.

There's nothing wrong
with living with your parents.

Uh, all around the world,
people live with their parents

and grandparents,
uncles and aunts.

There is nothing wrong
with living with your parents

if it works for everyone.

I like living at home,

and my parents like
having me at home.

I think.
I need to check on that.

Now, look, someday,
I might have to move out,

but living at home
is not the problem here.

The problem is
you aren't communicating.

You say you want her
to leave,

but you're the ones who insisted
she come back after college,

you make her breakfast
every morning,

and you both complain to her
about one another.

You use her.

You...are whiny
and unappreciative,

and you need an actual job,
and you need to grow up,

and you really,
really need to put pants on.

Real pants. Pants.

This is not hard.

I'm sorry, Mom, Dad,
and not just about the pants.

Your parents love you, Holiday,
and you love them.

However twisted
it all looks,

I do believe
you love each other.

Now, here's the score --

the prosecutor has agreed
to drop these charges,

but that won't happen
next time,

so don't let there be
a next time, okay?

I have a lot of hope
for you.

I have faith in you.
I believe in you.

And I don't ever, ever want
to see any of you ever again.

Great talk.
