In the penthouse of the most exclusive

So the CEO of Zinca, the electric car company,

was blown up last night in his penthouse.

And his wife, Serena,

and a live-in nanny, Linda Ramirez,

were both victims as well.

Their son, Taylor, survived.

He was released from Bellevue and is with relatives.

We are withholding their names for now.

The media believes this was a gas explosion,

and we are going to let them think that.

- Mm. Preferential treatment?

- Well, they are high-profile and well-connected

quickly and quietly.

But we don't have a problem with that, right?

- No, ma'am.

- Great.

All right, let's table all tier 2 and tier 3 cases.

This is now our top priority.

Identify this bomber and bring him to justice.

- You heard the boss. So let's--let's talk theories.

- Peter Minskoff, a self-described disruptor,

has many enemies in the oil and auto industries.

Zinca's base model was one of the top-selling cars last year.

- Hmm.

A legacy company targeting an industry disruptor?

What else?

- Zinca had its share of consumer issues.

Battery fires, auto driving accidents,

several class actions with outstanding settlements.

- Right. Plenty of motive, then.

So let's talk about something they'd be in short supply of:

opportunity.

Who would be able to slip an explosive

up into their well-guarded penthouse?

Where are we at with the list of visitors

Dani and Scola pulled from building security?

- Still combing through it.

Minskoffs had housekeepers, personal trainers,

private shoppers, massage therapists.

It was like Grand Central up there.

- Different lifestyle.

Any visitors not on the payroll?

- Only one in the past month, a Dejan Petrovic,

a repairman who works for Gladstone Appliance.

Here he is arriving for a service call.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, I'm looking at that bag. - Yeah.

He allegedly arrived to do some maintenance work

on an induction stove for the Minskoffs.

in the kitchen, right?

When was this?

- Yesterday, six hours before.

- Consider my interest piqued.

- Hey, got something. - Yeah?

- Turns out Gladstone Appliance

is one of several fronts for the YACS.

- By the YACS, I'm guessing

referring to the criminal networks

operating here from Yugoslavia, Albania, Croatia, and Serbia?

- The one and only.

The YACS aren't a cohesive gang,

but one of the smaller groups behind Gladstone Appliance

have been moving into labor racketeering,

squeezing businesses across Queens,

including-- - Let me guess.

Zinca Electric Cars.

- Zinca just opened a new factory in Queens.

State-of-the-art, right in the YACS' backyard,

and Peter Minskoff is staunchly anti-union.

- Okay, so the gang was

squeezing Zinca in a labor dispute.

- Okay, our last drone is in the air

and Scott knows his board is here.

Let's move them into the basement to be safe.

Hey, Ian, you need to monitor the drone defense system.

Hey, the second you see anything, I wanna know.

- BOLOs on comms, boss. - Okay.

Stuart, what have you got for me?

- Well, Jubal, he won't give us a damn thing.

But 26 Fed is not the target.

- Not the board? - No.

No, he needs them alive.

He--he wants their vote for safety regulations.

- Hey, I got the drone.

It's traveling at 70 miles an hour.

Current trajectory suggests--

wait, it's arching north away from 26 Fed.

- Okay, so who is flying this thing

if Scott broke the damn control system?

- If Scott set a destination,

the drone would use obstacle detection

and aerial surveys to route itself there.

Waypoint navigation--even basic commercial drones use it.

- And this one's running

the most advanced AI software on the market.

- Okay, so where is it headed?

What one target could change the board's mind?

- Well, easiest way to sway the board--

convince the loudest voice in the room

to vote the way you want.

Someone outspoken, entitled, used to getting their way.

- Yeah, Warren Foster.

- He's the one who spearheaded the vote

to gut the safety teams and push Perry Hinton out.

- Yeah, okay, so what kind of leverage

could Scott have over Warren Foster?

- It's his daughter, Ashley.

Warren and his wife have a second townhome in the city.

Ashley stays there while she's in school.

She's Warren's pride and joy.

- I mean, that makes a kind of awful sense, right?

Force Warren to live with the fact

that the AI he weaponized just killed his own daughter.

Call ahead, warn Ashley we're sending a team.

- On it.

- Come on, Ashley, let's go.

- Is--is my dad okay? - He's fine.

Get in the car.

Hey. Everything's gonna be okay.

We're gonna keep you safe.

- Did it detonate?

- No, it just changed course.

- What? How?

- Advanced pathfinding is already used

in military drones.

It can be programmed to lock onto moving targets

over various terrain.

- What are you saying, Ian, that it's following them?

- If Scott told the drone its target was inside that house

and the drone registered people leaving in a vehicle,

Cyclone's AI system could relay new instructions

and adjust the drone's flight path.

- Maggie, OA, the drone is still tracking you.

I repeat, the drone is tracking you.
