Let's make sure to get coverage of these
protesters.

How do I look?

You look beautiful.

Holly Chanwell, look at you.

David, what brings the star news anchor
out from his studio?

Well, my producers have been camped out
here since 2 a .m. for a prime spot.

Good luck getting your question heard
from 40 feet away.

You know what? Let's go over there.
Okay.

This is Holly Chanwell reporting for
Corridor News.

Jordanian Prime Minister Mohamed Zaman
is the latest world leader to arrive at

the Near Eastern Economic Summit.

Zaman has come under harsh criticism for
Jordan's recent policy changes. Stop.

No. It's over. All the journalists need
to be in the holding area.

Can we just... No. The security
perimeter needs to be maintained, ma

move along. Come on.

It's a break.

Okay, hold on a second.

How does Gemma not know that you were in
the hospital?

She was on a work trip.

Scola, by the time she got back, I just
felt like it was old news.

I don't know. Call me old -fashioned,
but you get poisoned.

On the job, you tell your girlfriend,
man.

I mean, Nina would kill you. That is
different.

Nina's an agent.

Gemma is not, and she already worries
about Nina.

That's fair.

I'm just saying I think she would have
appreciated the opportunity to be there

for you. You know, any woman would.

I'm not trying to push her away. I just
think that a little distance can be

healthy sometimes.

Jordanian motorcade's coming in.

Prime Minister Zaman, will the Princess
continue to serve in the Air Force

moving forward?

Prime Minister Zaman, will you be
seeking increased military aid?

On your part.

Jubal, someone tried to shoot the
Jordanian prime minister. They missed

a journalist.

All right, ambulance is going to be here
any minute.

We're going to need you to hang on,
okay?

I saw the shot.

Let him through.

I saw the shot go off. I was standing
right there. It had to have come from

Up high, 20 stories, maybe more.

All right, according to an eyewitness,
we're looking roughly at the

of 48th and 1st Avenue. Ian, anything
from shot spotters? Yeah, it's estimated

triangulation is somewhere within these
three buildings, but the public plaza

building is the only one with a clear
line of sight.

Well, that's a difficult shot even for a
professional. I could explain why they

missed their target. Who's got
trajectory? Elise? Mapping it now,

from the height of the building.

Shot could be anywhere from the 18th
floor to the roof.

Okay, yeah.

NYPD, you got that? We have officers
outside that building. Locking it down

Hey, keep the lobby locked down.

Nobody gets out unless they've been ID'd
and cleared.

Jubal, we're inside.

Keep your eyes open. The shooter could
still be in the building.

All right, so we're going to do this
floor by floor. We'll take the roof,

our way down. We'll start in the
stairwell. Right.

We're on the roof. We can lock the
elevator.

We're all clear up top.

Scola, looks like the shooter was
definitely here.

Yeah, well, we found the sniper's net.

Looks like one spent shell casing, 30
cal.

Oh, wait.

FBI!

Back away from the door.

Against the wall. Now.

Give me the bag.

I didn't do anything, man. Then why are
you running?

You're going to arrest me for that?

For graffiti? No. For there's an active
shooter in the building.

What? Did you see anybody else in the
stairwell?

I saw a cop on the third floor, but she
didn't say anything. She didn't even

tell me to go downstairs.

When was that?

Like two minutes ago.

What'd she look like? I don't know, man.
It was just some lady cop.

Jubal, we believe the shooter is a
female dressed in an NYPD uniform. What

do you know?

She's without this fashion.

All right, folks, listen up. Our shooter
is possibly a white female brunette

dressed like an NYPD officer. She's
wearing a blue cross -bodied bag. If

in a uniform... She may have already
breached her perimeter.

The bag you're describing is not part of
the uniform.

Well, we're likely dealing with an
impersonator. Let's see if we can spot

bag. Street cams are up. All right.

She's going to be blending in with the
other officers.

There. She's got a bag.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's got to be her. All right, team,
we spotted our suspect ahead of you on

51st.

Okay, where'd she go? Yeah, next block
of cams should be picking her up right

now.

Yeah, she's just headed toward a
stairwell to the right.

Okay, looks like NYPD got her.

And my PD officer down. Get a medic
there now.

Our suspect just shot a cop on that
stairwell. She's just off heading

We got eyes on him.

We're still in pursuit.

We have the MP on the way. Stay with the
shooter.

I can see her.

Thing was rigged to go.

Jubal, she's dead.

All right, folks, we have a positive ID
on our shooter, Zoe Morrison. Ballistics

on her sniper rifle confirmed. She tried
to assassinate Jordanian Prime Minister

Mohammad Zaman, missed her shot, and
then not ten minutes later, she was

When her getaway car's airbag was rigged
against her, it appears somebody hired

her to take out the prime minister and
then eliminated her to cover their

tracks. So I want a complete workup on
Morrison. Maybe she can lead us to

whoever's behind all this. What do we
know about her? Morrison lived upstate,

worked for a company that does guided
hunts. Winner of the Boone and Crockett

Big Game Awards last year. Okay, so why
is a big game...

Blue ribbon winner trying to take out
the Jordanian prime minister.

I'm sure, but she rented a hotel room
across the street from the location of

shooting for the past two days,
presumably to plan the assassination.

Right. Well, whoever killed Morrison
wanted the trail to stop with her, so

make sure it doesn't. We need to figure
out why Morrison was hired for a

political assassination.

Or... Or what?

What if we're looking at this all wrong?

Hey, you got a second?

Yeah, update?

You're not going to like this. This is
Ian's simulation of the bullet's

trajectory from Morrison's perch, and
even adjusting for the wind from this

angle, she could have killed the prime
minister here, here, or here. Instead,

Morrison waits until he moves here,
which is a much harder shot, unless...

man was never in the crosshairs.

It is not until Holly Chanwell steps
forward.

And Morrison takes a shot. I mean, if
she wanted the prime minister dead, he

would be.

So that would mean Holly Chanwell wasn't
collateral damage.

She was the target all along.

And her proximity to a world leader was
part of the killer's plan. It matched

the attempt on Holly's life.

It wasn't an attempt. I just got the
call. Holly Chanwell died on the

table 15 minutes ago.

Okay.

Got a lead.

Elise, you got something?

Yeah. Suspicious activity report popped
on our shooter, Zoe Morrison. She

received two large wire transfers in the
past week, 30 grand a pop.

Down payment for today's work?

Right. Can we trace the money? Figure
out who one of those journalists did?

yet. Money came from a shell company in
the British Virgin Islands.

Okay. So this big game hunter was
actually a contract killer just... An

unconventional one nobody would see
coming.

All right, folks, if you have not heard,
we have reason to believe the actual

target in today's shooting was Holly
Chanwell. It was no accident that she

shot. So why would someone go to all
this trouble to have this journalist

killed? Well, she was a national
security reporter at Corridor Daily. It

here her fearless work led to policy
changes in the U .S. and abroad.

She recently blew the lid wide open on
an international crypto scam.

What was she working on today?

Is it possible one of her stories got
her killed? We spoke to her editor. He

said Holly had full autonomy. If this is
about a new story she was working on,

he can't help us. What about Holly's
cameraman?

His name is Quinn Hahn.

They worked together for three years.

He has a co -credit on every story.

He could be next.

Where is he now?

I think Gemma saw the news.

Probably. But she just wants to know
you're safe.

Hey, Jim.

Hey, sorry.

I meant to call earlier. It's been a
crazy morning.

I saw.

And I figured. I know you would tell me
if something was wrong.

Or Maggie would text me, at least.

You two text.

Yeah, no, it's all good.

Are we still on for tonight?

Only if it still works for you. If you
need to work late again, it's okay. We

can reschedule.

No, no, no. Let's do it.

Can you meet me at Lola's, though?

Sounds good.

Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

Was I right?

No, you weren't right.

I just feel like I have accidentally
trained her to expect me to cancel every

time.

Are you ever going to tell her you're a
boy then?

Scola, is everybody a gossip now? Oh,
come on.

Relationships with a job is not an easy
match.

But what you two have been through
together is very different.

You gotta let her in a way.

Yeah.

Hang on.

Ian got a location on Quinn. His phone
just pinged in Greenpoint.

Alright.

Quinn on.

FBI, don't move.

Special Agent Bell, this is Special
Agent Zidane.

I thought he was wanted.

You tried to save Holly's life.

I'm really sorry that happened.

Here's the thing, Quinn. We think that
Holly was the intended target.

That's why we're here.

But you already knew that.

Just that it was possible.

I couldn't tell if I was being paranoid
or...

It was just a grief, just looking to
make sense of everything.

Okay, were you working on an assignment
that put you guys in danger?

There was a story.

We both knew it was dangerous, but we,
uh, we thought it was too important to

not report.

We agreed to shit the wrist.

Okay, what was the story, Quinn?

It's better if I show you.

I'm not here.

Okay, let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, get down!

Get down!

How are these guys?

I don't know, but they're determined to
get their hands on Quinn.

Not enough there, eh?

You said you have another shot of the
car driving away? Yeah.

Tell me we have enough here to get
facial record on at least one of Quinn's

abductors. Couldn't get a clear shot of
the driver, but we were able to tag the

other abductor.

Okay.

CPP just came back positive.

Yin Piao Min, been here three weeks on a
tourist visa.

He's a Chinese national who served in
the People's Liberation Army.

Okay, people, we need to dig into this
man. I want to know where he eats, where

he sleeps.

Are we really thinking the Chinese
government assassinated an American

journalist and abducted her partner?

Well, the Chinese government wouldn't
just be violating U .S. sovereignty.

They would be risking trade agreements,
economic sanctions, the diplomatic

crisis. Wars have just started over the
last... We don't know yet. He's acting

on behalf of the CCP, but if he is...

I don't see a scenario where things
don't escalate.

Okay, I got something.

Yeah. Looks like Yen Piao makes frequent
withdrawals from Industrial Union ATMs.

They do not charge currency conversions
from yuan to dollars.

He's at the one in Mott & Hester.

This last withdrawal is this morning, 9
.56 a .m.

Yeah, we can't really see where he came
from. Can you see if there's a street

cam from that location?

Yeah.

Here we go.

All right.

Okay, yeah, let's rewind it, see which
direction it came from.

What building is that?

That is a property management company
called Grayford.

All right, let's take some trees.

Can I help you?

I hope so.

Special Agent Skoll and Ramos.

The FBI.

I don't know if you've seen this guy
around. A person by the name of Yin Piao

Min.

I'm sorry. I'm not seeing any owner's
releases in this name.

Well, we have footage of him leaving
this exact building four hours ago.

I've been here all day. Sorry to say
we've had no such visitors.

Yeah. What about employees?

I don't have access to those files.

Why don't you call someone who does?

One moment.

Thanks.

Well, what are you doing?

Excuse me, ma 'am? Back away from the
desk.

Now, show me your hands.

Come.

This is Special Agent Rommels requesting
additional agents to grace the

management. We got one in custody on
site, but additional hostiles are

suspected.

That's different.

Realtor with a panic button.

Scola, someone left behind some serious
firepower.

UBC -191s.

Chinese military issue.

I'm FBI, okay?

You're safe now.

What's your name?

Roland Ambell to Graveford Management.

Mott and Hester.

We have an unconscious torture victim in
the basement.

What the hell is this place?

Do you think the Chinese are up to their
own tricks?

So when China had those two extra -legal
precincts operating in Manhattan, we

shut them down.

Yeah, we did. Beijing even issued a rare
apology when we discovered the East

Broadway op. Well, they neglected to
mention this operation, so...

Apology deeply not accepted.

No, we don't even know what this is yet
or how far up the chain of command it

goes. Right, that's true. And we know
they're good at covering their tracks.

They had the whole world believing Holly
Channell's death was about Middle East

business. Instead, we find a Chinese
torture chamber. We need to figure out

is giving these orders.

Well, the only suspect we have so far is
in Piao Min.

Was there any sign of him at the
precinct? No, the building is right

Doyer Street tunnels, so we think he
escaped through them when the...

Receptionist hit the panic button. The
receptionist is still in custody, but

is refusing to talk.

What about the woman that they held
captive?

Pauline Doe. She's an accountant for a
Chinatown community center.

Yeah, well, they tortured and detained
her at that facility.

She pissed off someone in Beijing.

Medicals just cleared her. All right,
let's go pay Miss Doe a visit. Maybe she

can shed some light. Yeah.

We know that China has been using these
precincts to intimidate American

citizens of Chinese descent, people who
spoke out about the CCP.

This goes so much further than
intimidation.

Why do you think they took you?

There's a pro -democracy group. We took
a stand after the internment camps were

revealed. The Uyghur people in western
China.

All we wanted was for things to be
better there for everyone.

We started.

posting online anonymously.

We saw it.

But then, one by one, my friends started
disappearing.

You think the people that did this took
the others before?

Yes. Their families in China hadn't
heard from them.

And that's when you reached out to Holly
Chanwell and her partner Quinn.

I knew that they investigated dangerous
stories, that they were fearless.

I told them everything that I knew, that
my friends had vanished, that I thought

I was being followed.

I was right. They snatched me right off
the street, brought daylight.

How long were you held at the station?

Two days.

Time didn't make sense in there.

You were tortured, right?

Why? What did they want?

They wanted Holly and Quinn.

They searched my phone.

found communication between me and
Holly.

It wouldn't have been hard to figure out
Quinn's involvement from there.

They were demanding whatever evidence he
had on them.

I don't know what he has, but if he's
still alive, it's only because they

haven't found it yet.

I had to listen to Quinn scream out in
pain from that pit that they had.

Do you have any idea where he might be?

They moved him as soon as your agents
arrived.

But it's not long before they get what
they want from him, and then they'll

ratline him back to China.

You mean extraordinary rendition?

They'll smuggle him out of the U .S.
through a secret route, place him in a

camp in China.

Officially, China calls them vocational
education and training centers, but

they're work camps.

Quinn is a U .S. citizen.

I'm a U .S. citizen.

So are my friends.

We're all U .S. citizens.

These people, they don't care.

And if you don't find this rat line
soon, no one will ever see Quinn again.

A rat line from New York to China?
That's absurd.

I spoke with the CIA and NYPD. No one
has any leads on this. Okay, well, I am

seeing missing persons reports on
Pauline's friends.

All U .S. citizens, like you said. So it
is at least possible that if we don't

find Quinn Han soon, he will be
outlined, right?

China's state security is extremely
careful.

I just, I can't see them attempting this
knowing the risk.

Okay, so what if we are dealing with an
unsanctioned operation here?

It could be the PRC doesn't know it
exists.

Is there anyone at the Chinese consulate
you know who could help us figure out

how far off this goes?

Envoy General Wei Chen.

We have a mutual respect, but he's not
going to give us any intel we don't

already have. Right. But if we're able
to identify the guilty parties first

without him.

Assuming he's not involved, he's going
to want to shut that down. And it sounds

like the Chinese agents hadn't gotten
what they wanted from Quinn yet. Which

means the evidence Quinn has against
them may still be here in New York.

not going to rat line him until they
find it. We need to find out if Quinn

stashed any evidence before he was
taken.

Let's retrace the steps.

Oh, so there. Quinn has the camera bag
when he runs inside.

And then he still has it when they grab
him. Can we see inside that hallway?

No, no cameras there. The next angle we
got is outside.

If they didn't find the evidence in his
camera bag, he must have removed it and

stashed it in that hallway, right?

Let's go take a look.

Not a lot of places you can hide
anything in here.

What are you looking for?

Thumb drive?

Notebook?

Or a roll of film?

Gwen must have been nervous about
Chinese Firewall on his phone or laptop.

You mean where we have a quick film?

Yeah, we're getting there.

Old ways are great, but they are old.

Now, I should do it.

Okay.

Just need to convert it from the
negative to a positive.

Okay. That's the location of their
illegal precinct.

Yeah. There's a reflection in there.

Oh, they had evidence of an abduction in
progress. Yeah, so that's Yin Piao Min,

so this must be the crew that abducted
Quinn.

Well, why didn't they call the NYPD?

At least check. There was an anonymous
tip, but NYPD never followed up. Okay,

need to get facial rec on these two, so
let's get these images to... Wait,

that's Li Shijiao.

She's the deputy attache at the Chinese
consulate.

So this is date -sponsored? Not
necessarily. I've seen this before. An

agent tries to impress her superiors.

She thinks she's showing her patriotism
and loyalty, but she takes it too far.

Right, so maybe she went rogue.

But either way, she has diplomatic
immunity, right? So we can't bring

against her.

I need to speak with Envoy General Wei
Chen.

If he authorized this op, that makes
this an international incident.

Yeah, but if Lisa Zhao is out on her
own... Maybe he can help bring her to

justice.

Way.

Be so well?

Should I be worried about what's in
here?

Not unless you're lactose intolerant.

But I'm flattered you think I'd be so
bold.

I'd never underestimate you.

I've heard stories of your field day.

Well, the training never goes away. I
counted three.

No, Garf makes four security that's been
circling up.

If Russia...

want to feel sun from a beach.

They send a few elite frogmen in the
middle of the night to scoop it up.

If we were to do so, we'd send a
thousand tourists in the middle of the

They'd return, shake off their towels,
and we'd have ourselves a new beach.

And that tourist season ended.

The East Broadway attraction was very
unpopular.

It's over.

I promise you.

Looks like you may have a black sheep in
the family.

We saw Leisha Zhao walking four Shiba
Inus in the middle of the day.

You sure it was her?

She made quite a mess.

We could clean it up ourselves if you
could give me her number.

I'm not sure I could find it.

Well, if you can't, you may be left with
a cleanup bill.

But if you can, I would be so very
grateful.

Hey, Isabel.

So is the Envoy General going to lead us
to Lisha Zhao?

Yes and no. We need to have a delicate
touch.

Lisha is now a rogue agent.

Though Beijing wants to handle her on
their own, they don't want us

So even though they know what she's
done, they won't let us prosecute?

Honestly, we would do the same in their
position.

Do they know where Quinn's being held?

No, but Lisha Zhao certainly knows where
she's been holding him.

China wants to punish her, right?

Why don't we use that to our advantage?

We can pretend to offer protection from
her own government in exchange for

information. Like Quinn's location.

Exactly.

Won't be easy, though. A spy like Lisa
Zhao, she's going to know all of these

tricks.

But if we can get the envoy general to
buy in, he can grab her up.

She will believe that she's on her way
to face punishment from the mainland.

Then we show up and intercept.

So the play is, we make it look like
we're on Quinn's trail, but we find

instead. Hand her an opportunity she
wasn't expecting.

All right, first let me sell it to the
Envoy General.

Jubal, we are in position. If the Envoy
General's intel is correct, this is

where they'll deliver Leisha Zhao.

Here they come.

Now let's just hope Lisha Zhao falls for
our little Ruth.

They're bringing her out.

FBI! On the ground!

Right now, down on the ground!

Ju, it's not Quinn.

It's Alicia Zhao, Deputy Attache.

Where's Quinn?

You have to help me. Why would we do
that? We know what you've been up to.

Now listen to me. These men, they're
Chinese state security.

They're here to send me back against my
will.

Any action I took, I took here.

I should answer for it here.

Don't let my government send me back.
You have no idea.

Please don't let them do this.

Well, last we checked, you have
diplomatic immunity, so if they want to

back to some work camp for the rest of
your life, that is up to them.

Jubal, should we let them take her? No,
no, wait, listen.

I've requested asylum.

Okay?

Asylum.

Got her. Looks like your envoy general
came through.

Yeah, it's not over yet.

Now we just have to get her to lead us
to Quinn.

But to be clear, you're rejecting your
immunity status for asylum in the United

States? Yeah, yeah.

I need protection from the People's
Republic of China, and I request asylum

the United States of America.

Please, help me.

That depends.

On what?

Where's Quinn Han?

So this is where they're holding Quinn?
That's what she claims.

Okay, so how many of your agents are
inside?

Two. That includes you and Piao Min?

Yes. I mean, they're heavily armed. They
will not surrender unless they get the

command from me.

Can you come over there?

Stay with her.

You will protect me, right? As we
agreed?

The only way you'll have this country's
protection is if your intel's good. Stay

behind me.

Execute.

Clear.

Clear.

I'm going to check the stairs.

Wait a minute. Stand down. No one needs
to die.

Tell them again in English. They won't
listen to me. They think I've betrayed

the cause by working with the FBI.

Just do it.

Comrade, stand down. Hold your fire.

Okay, I guess we're doing this the hard
way.

Drop it.

Put your hands right now.

You got it?

Yeah.

You got good?

Stay down!

Second one's in custody.

Meg.

Quinn. Quinn.

Hey. Is he alive?

Barely. Quinn, can you hear me?

Okay. Swat!

Get him out of here.

Jubal. We've got Quinn. He's alive.

That's it. That's it. Easy, easy, easy,
easy.

This doesn't track.

You don't beat someone within an inch of
their life if you're just going to rat

line them.

What are we missing?

Hey.

Who's that?

Oh my god.

You guys are going to want to see this.

Are those Paulie and

Doe's friends?

Yep.

There never was any rat line.

Lisa Jo is rounding these people up and
killing them.

What are they doing here?

I don't understand.

The only way we could guarantee you
would give us the actual location of the

line was to trick you into thinking you
had leverage for U .S. protection.

Before we found you, we'd already made
another deal.

Given the crimes that you've committed,
the U .S. is rejecting your asylum

request.

Which means you are still under our
jurisdiction.

Let's rent a car.

Ray.

Thank you for your help today. In the
hands of someone else, this could have

gone very poorly.

Glad we could work out a mutually
beneficial arrangement.

What will happen to Alicia?

Will she be tried in Beijing?

She is now a dissident.

We have a protocol for dealing with
dissidents.

Thank you for coming my way tonight.

Long day.

No complaints.

But I do have to tell you something that
I should have told you when it

happened. But I... You don't have to. I
do.

I do.

I have been pushing you away since you
got shot.

I was scared that the cost of being with
me was too high.

And I'm sorry.

But I do not want to do that anymore,
Gemma.

I love you. Oh, wait, please stop.

I don't want to shut you out. You don't
need to apologize. I do.

Because... There's someone else.

You cheated on me?

No.

I mean, it's emotional.

We haven't.

But yes.

Who?

Client on my new account.

I don't understand.

But he and I have been spending so much
time together, and he's been so open

with me And I felt so distant from you
and I'm I'm not blaming you. I'm just

saying what happened

Okay

Okay

Then that is that.

Right?
