So how many more days
is Ramadan?

Uh, including today,
28 more days.

Oof, a month without coffee.

Well, I can have it
when the sun goes down,

if I don't want to sleep.

But other than that, just no
food or drink during the day.

It's easy.

Why are you observing now?

You haven't the whole time
I've known you.

I don't know.

After Gemma and I broke up,

I started meditating again.

And fasting is a form
of meditation.

It lowers the volume on
everything so I can think.

About how hungry you are?

Hey, Sal.

Hey, Maggie.

Can I get my coffee and
cinnamon raisin bagel today?

$20.

That's steep.

first in Brownsville

They swiped the register

[phone buzzing]

Are you gonna... you got it.

Hey.

Did you call the cops?

Yeah, a lot of good
that did me, right?

Yeah, I hear you.

OK.

OK. Keep us posted.
[phone beeps]

There was a body dumped under
the LIE, federal employee.

Scola and Eva are headed
over there now.

Thank you.
- OK.

Hey.

Sorry for running late.

Just talked to NYPD.

Sanitation worker found
a body around 6:00 AM.

Medical ID badge says
she's a doctor,

Saima Khan, psychiatrist
at the Southport VA.

Southport?

That's one of the
busiest VAs in New York.

Unless you're there
three hours after they closed.

She left around 9:00,
never made it to her car.

She parked
less than a block away.

Couldn't have been more
than a minute's walk.

No cameras?

No cameras.

Well, we got a shot to the head,

and then this type of bruising

suggests the other impacts
were at least four hours

earlier before she was shot.

There's more.

See this hand?

[tense music]

Yeah, it's been burned.

I don't know if
that's knowledge of pain points

or what, but whoever did this

wanted to inflict
maximum suffering.

So they abducted her
from outside her work,

they tortured her all night,

and then they killed her,
and they dumped her here.

Someone had it out for her
in a bad way.

[indistinct shouting]

Please, Saima!

No, no!
Please! Please!

No!

Saima! Please!

Please!

I hate this part.

Mr. Khan, we're gonna do
everything we can

to find out the person
who did this, OK?

Why won't you let me see her?

We're still processing
the scene right now.

And to be honest with you,

you don't want to see her
like this.

- [groans]
- Were you able to hear

any other voice on the phone?

No, not a word,
just her screaming.

After that,
I-I heard a car drive off.

But my connection dropped
when the plane started moving.

Can you think of anyone
that might have wanted

to hurt your wife?

None of this would have happened

if the VA just listened to us.

We told them he would come back.

He's obsessed with her.

You told them
who would come back?

All right, folks, so last
night, a VA psychiatrist,

Dr. Saima Kahn, was abducted

and then found dead
this morning.

Six years with the VA.

According to the head
of the department,

she was as good as they come...
devoted, caring.

Anyway, her husband tipped us
off to a former patient

as a suspect, Luke Williams.

Yeah. What do we got on him?

Combat medic,
did two tours in Afghanistan.

Three months ago, Dr. Khan put
Williams in an involuntary hold

for severe PTSD with
secondary psychosis

after he confessed
to her in therapy

that he almost strangled his
roommate during a night terror.

OK, so she used his confession

to have him committed.

I'm sure that upset him,
but I don't know,

enough to kill the good doctor?

After the 72-hour hold,
Khan asked the court

to extend it for 60 days.

When Williams was released,
he lost his job.

Uh, there's no record
of any new leases,

probably couldn't afford
to sign one.

Which would make him unhoused.

And he blames Khan
for the loss of his livelihood,

definitely enough for motive.

Cameras show Williams kept
showing up at the hospital,

demanding to see Dr. Khan.

O-OK, so he was looking for
a chance to confront her.

Williams has a gun
registered to him

that matches the caliber
of the murder weapon.

It was set to be confiscated
during his psych hold

under the New York CARE Act,
but they've been backlogged.

Where's Williams now?

His phone is pinging
East Brooklyn.

[tense music]

♪

Look, Scola, there he is.

- Luke Williams, FBI.
We need a word.

- What do you want?
I'm eating.

We just want to ask you
a few questions, all right?

No.

No, I'm not going with you.

I'm not going.

Up against the wall.

[shouts] Assault!

- Hands behind your back.

What did he do?

Ma'am, please step back.

He was just sitting here.

You gonna grab him like that?

Ma'am, this is for your safety.

Please, step back, ma'am.

Yeah, I'm recording.

We're recording.

Now, come on. This ain't right.

It ain't right.

You had a 9-millimeter pistol
in your possession,

Mr. Williams.

Concealed carry is illegal
in New York

without a pistol license,
which you don't have.

I don't got anywhere else
to keep it.

Where were you last night
at 9:00 PM?

I can't remember.

A judge is not going to
accept that as an answer.

So you might want to try
a little harder.

This is me trying, man.

My PTSD's got me all mixed up.

I remember a screeching tire
set me off

with a whopping migraine, where
I could barely walk straight.

So I go, OK, time for the pills.

But they're not
exactly cotton candy.

Next thing I know,
I'm three stops down,

no clue how I got there.

Look, I know a lot of guys
that have been where you are.

But you are gonna need to try
and point to someone

who can tell us where you were
at 9:00 PM last night,

a bartender, a landlord, something.

Well, I don't have anyone,

just my shrink, Dr. Khan.

Until she stopped feeling
safe being your psychiatrist.

That's not true.

She stopped being my doctor

because we're gonna be together.

She's getting divorced, too.

How are you gonna be together
if she's dead?

She's...

She's dead?

Here's what I think happened.

I think you mistook the therapy
that Dr. Khan gave you

for an emotional connection
that you didn't actually have.

And when you were forced
to confront that reality,

you lost control.

[scoffs]

You think that I killed her?

Dr. Khan was tortured in
a way to inflict maximum pain

before she was killed.

That is knowledge that you
would have as a field medic.

I would never hurt Dr. Khan.

You were removed multiple
times from the hospital.

You tried to break in
to confront her

after she put you
in an involuntary hold.

It was after her therapy
that I could actually

get some sleep,

real sleep.

Do you know how many shrinks
I've had?

I mean, too freaking many.

But Dr. Khan was different.

We had a connection.

I wouldn't ever hurt her,
I swear.

If that was true, Luke,

she would have told security
to let you in.

It was the system
that kept us apart.

I had to get creative if I was
going to tell her how I felt.

That's it.

That's where I was last night,
Brooks' Burgers.

It's a restaurant
in Hell's Kitchen.

It's her favorite spot.

I was waiting there for her,
but she never showed.

- Excuse me, FBI.
Special Agent Bell.

This is Special Agent Zidan.

Did you see this man
last night around 9:00 PM?

Oh, yeah.

That guy was in here
all night till closing.

That booth over there.

One cup of coffee,
only tipped $0.50.

I mean, what am I gonna do
with that?

Was he with this woman?

Uh, he said this was her
favorite restaurant.

You recognize her?

She's a regular, Sa...

Saima, right?
- Mm-hmm.

She wasn't here last night.

But I did see her in here
two days ago

for lunch with some guy.

OK, was it with this guy,
her husband?

No, not him.

Look, what two adults do
is their own business.

I am not trying
to jam anybody up.

Uh, did they pay
with credit card?

Mm-hmm.

We're gonna need
to see that receipt.

- Hey, Jubal?
- Yeah?

We got a name off that
credit card receipt

the diner sent over,

Aziz Khalil, 44.

He's an Imam down at
the North Brooklyn Mosque.

Yeah, I've been digging into
the Imam on his socials.

Uh, he's a bit of a celebrity

in the New York Muslim
community.

- Hey, Jubal?
- Yeah?

North Brooklyn Mosque
has popped recently

on several open
NYPD investigations.

OK, what do you got?

We got two missing
persons reports,

both in the last six weeks.

Both of them are women
who attend the mosque,

Laila Dani and Yasmeen Hakeem.

O-OK, so our Imam shares
a meal with our murder victim

shortly before two of his
female congregants go missing.

Let's see if we can
tighten that thread.

Hold on.

These women didn't
just attend the mosque.

They were generous donors.

Oh, yeah, big fans.

And they weren't just fans
of the Imam.

He was a fan of theirs.

I ran their names through the
auto-generated transcripts

of the Imam's YouTube sermons

the week before Yasmeen
disappeared.

"Thank you to Yasmeen Hakeem
for your generous donation

"to the Sadaqa program.

May Allah protect her."

OK, so... so he knew
them both personally.

He gave him a shout-out
in his sermons.

But one murder and two
missing persons reports

don't make a pattern.
- Eh, what if they did?

According to our reports,
these women were last seen

at work, disappeared at night.

They haven't been seen since.

The only difference between
this and Dr. Khan's case

is we found her body.

All right, let's get ERT back
to that crime scene

under the overpass, see if
any other bodies turn up.

If they do, we could be dealing
with a serial killer

preying on women
in the Muslim community.

[dramatic music]

We ask you to grant maghfirah

on sister Laila Dani's mother,
Seema,

who is in the hospital
right now.

- [congregants] Ameen!
- OK, yeah,

that's a prayer called a dua.

Bigger groups amplify the
chances of the prayer coming

true, so the Imam
will give one of those

at the end of every sermon.

Now, he mentioned each
of our missing women,

including Dr. Khan,

but before they went missing.

So what if he's choosing
the women

in front of a live audience

to make them feel special?

Then he invites him in
for a one-on-one meeting

where they're vulnerable,

then goes in for the kill.

I mean, it's possible, but he
did mention other women, too,

and they're perfectly fine.

Yeah, all... all our evidence
is circumstantial.

OK, then, if we're gonna
take a swing at this guy,

let's start by talking to
people that sit with him

week in and week out
that know him,

not this video
or his public persona.

My sister was a hardcore
follower of Imam Aziz.

She checked his
YouTube page daily.

You're not as big a fan,
I take it?

He put on a good front.

But after
we reported her missing,

her husband, Khaled,
went to the Imam.

He wanted to make
an announcement

after Friday's Juma prayer,

ask if anyone had seen her.

And the Imam refused?

He said it was a police matter.

It seemed strange.

Why wouldn't he mention
Yasmeen by name?

Khaled and I didn't understand.

Why would he refuse?

We're actually gonna talk
to her husband tomorrow,

when he gets back into town.

He's been looking for
a private investigator

that can help us.

The police are not doing enough.

This has devastated my family,

every hour,

living with the terror of
not knowing what's happened.

Ms. Hakeem,
do you know if your sister

had any sort of a, um,

more intense relationship
with the Imam?

I've been suspicious
ever since she told me

about this weekly women's-only
Halaqa he's been running.

It's a Islamic study group,
no men allowed,

except the Imam himself.

And is that normal?

No.

And Yasmeen didn't seem to care.

She even took private meetings
in his office with him.

And now that she's missing,
he's not even concerned,

like he never even knew her.

How long has your sister
known this Imam?

He came from Dearborn
four months ago.

Everyone seems to like him,

but something's not right.

Please,

whatever happened to my sister,

we just want to know.

- I appreciate it.
Hey, guys,

so the Imam just jumped
to the top of the board.

JOC looked into his history
in Dearborn,

and there is another
homicide investigation

of a Muslim woman still open.

Now, I'm still waiting
for the chief investigator

to call me back,

but Imam Aziz,
he fits the timeline.

Sorry, OA.

I know you don't want
to hear that.

It's OK.

If women are missing,
if people are dying,

we got to get to
the bottom of it.

It doesn't matter who he is.

So you think the Imam came to
Brooklyn to escape accusations?

It's possible.

There's no central authority
that places Imams.

They're freelancers.

They go to whatever
mosque will pay,

and mosques don't usually
talk to each other,

especially from other states.

So where do we start?

Where he lives, the mosque.

I-in order to get proof,
we're gonna have to go in.

OK, well, there should be
an all-women's study group

or a Halaqa,

if we get someone in there,

someone that can get close
to him.

I think I've got our gal.

Hey, you need help?

I'm OK, thanks.

I actually went through
a hijab phase in college,

so muscle memory is still there.

Zara Ushruf.

OA Zidan. Nice to meet you.

OA stands for?

Omar Adom.

Come on.

You're telling me none of the
agents could pronounce Omar?

Or are you just one
of those purists

that doesn't want the "ein"
in your name butchered?

No, it's just a nickname.

Someone gave it to me
at the Bureau.

It stuck faster
than I could blink.

Um, you speak Arabic?

Just, uh, what I remember
from Sunday school,

a couple insults
and pick-up lines

the MSA boys would use on me
in college.

Any of them actually work?

You're welcome to find out
at your own risk, Omar.

My partner, Maggie Bell.

- Hi.
- Hi. Zara.

Nice to meet you.

Jubal speaks highly of you.
- You as well.

You running the play?
- Yes.

The Imam is holding
a women's-only Halaqa

in two hours.

So the plan is we're gonna
send you in a little bit later,

hopefully making you
an easy target.

And then he'll invite you
for the one-on-one meeting.

And while you are
distracting him,

I will be inside
on a sneak-and-peek warrant

in his office
and living quarters,

seeing if I can find
any evidence

that he actually abducted
these women.

So I'm the bait?

Well, I mean, federally trained,

weapons-qualified bait.

What do you think?

Will he bite?

Who wouldn't?

You're running from
something or someone.

Dr. Khan was protecting you,

and it probably cost her
her life.

You could die.

You are safe with us,

but if you leave our custody,
we cannot protect you.

You think
the FBI can protect me?

I do.

This is what we're trained for.

Aaliyah, let us help you.

♪

You want to stop me?

Then you'll have to arrest me.

♪

All right then.

♪

OK, she wants to take
her chances without us.

It's suicide.

I'm gonna call the JOC and
get some surveillance on her.

We need to figure out
who she's running from.

Well,
I know someone we could ask,

but he's not gonna be happy
to see us.

I can't believe you're back.

Imam Aziz, we understand
that you're upset with us.

Upset?

We need to know why you
were hiding Aaliyah Idris.

You spied on us here,
in my office, in our mosque.

Hey.

I was just doing my job.

If you had any questions,
you could have just asked.

But now, I'll have to tell
my congregants the truth

that you were here.

And they might think twice
about coming to the mosque

next time if they're afraid of
ending up on an FBI watch list.

You poisoned our community.

OK, OK.

You were trying to help Aaliyah.

And we're doing the same thing.

And we still think
that she's in danger.

So if you care about her at all,

let us know what's going on.

I discovered

Aaliyah hiding out

late one night
in the Sisters section.

But she wasn't running
from domestic violence

like the others, was she?
- No.

She had become inconvenient
to powerful people.

She claimed that
she witnessed a murder.

She cleans houses.

And last week,
she saw a wealthy man

forcibly thrown down the
stairs, his head bashed in.

Aaliyah fled, but the killer
saw her drive off.

Why didn't she go to the police?

This client was high up
in the government.

And this attacker
didn't hesitate

to kill him in his own home.

Whoever's behind this,
they live above the law.

OK, well, this killer
might have tortured

and murdered Dr. Khan

trying to find Aaliyah
and your safe house.

And you might be in danger, too.

I suggest you enter
FBI protection

until we find the killer.

I'm not the one you
should be concerned for.

It's Aaliyah.

♪

Well, then help us protect her.

Who's the client?

♪

This is Andrew Davis,

the New York City
Gaming Commissioner.

Now, if Aaliyah's account
is to be believed,

the NYPD ME's report
is inaccurate.

Davis did not accidentally die.

He was murdered.

So who would want him dead
and why?

Well, Davis was about
to give the city's very last

multi-billion-dollar
casino license.

If it starts with a B,
it means motive.

It was speculated that
he was gonna award the license

to the Shelstad Group...

it's a multi-billion-dollar
casino company...

but since Davis's death,
that decision's up in the air.

Right, which means
our runaway witness

is somebody's
billion-dollar liability,

somebody willing to do
whatever it takes

to get that casino license,

including killing Dr. Khan

in their search for the one
witness that can stop him.

Where's Aaliyah now?

Pole cams picked her up
heading west in Midtown.

She's been sticking
to public places,

safety in numbers, I guess.

- Uh, hey, Jubal.
- What?

This is interesting.

Aaliyah just posted
to her Facebook page.

She wrote,
"I want to live my life.

What can I do
to be left alone?"

Has she made any recent posts?

- No.
That is the first one in weeks.

Is it me or does it sound like

she's sending up a signal flare?

To who?

To whoever killed Andrew Davis.

Maybe she's trying
to make a deal.

She knows
he's been hunting for her

and that he'd likely be
monitoring her social media.

- [notification beeps]
- Hey,

looks like someone
already responded.

Aaliyah just got a DM.

From a dummy profile,
no followers,

no photos, created today.

They only sent one message,
10 numbers.

It's got to be a phone number.

[beeping]

It's a burner.

How much you want to bet
we find whoever's

on the other end of that number,

we find our killer?

[dramatic music]

♪

OK, we're going on 10 minutes
that Aaliyah has been standing

in this crowded intersection.

She's smart.

Dr. Khan's killer
knows that she's here,

and he won't be able to get
to her without any witnesses.

Fine, but

this crowd's gonna
thin out eventually.

It would be a lot easier
to keep her safe

if she had just accepted
the FBI's help.

Instead, we have to
tail her from afar.

♪

Aaliyah's got a phone.

She's making a call.

OK, are we getting anything
from that number

that was messaged
to Aaliyah on Facebook?

Yeah, it's just now pinging

on the Upper West Side,

right when Aaliyah
started her call.

Are there any cams
on that street?

Negative.

I'm filtering through
nearest available pole cams.

But without knowing more
about who we're looking for...

Yeah, what about the phone?

Can... can we run back its usage?
- Yes.

It was purchased at a bodega
a week ago.

It has since pinged
here, here, and here.

That's the Gaming
Commissioner's house,

four days ago,

Aaliyah's residence,
three days ago,

and the VA hospital last night.

OK, the pattern
speaks for itself.

We found Dr. Khan's killer.

Can we ID him?

The bodega sold
six phones that day.

I've been running every buyer
through facial rec.

I've been reading into
their backgrounds.

- Yeah.
- Most likely,

we're looking at this man.

- OK, uh, Nathaniel Boja.
What's his deal?

He popped on the Asian OC
squad's radar.

He's wanted as a suspect
in two open homicides.

Yeah, he's been affiliated
with a Filipino gang

here in New York.

In the Philippines,
criminals have been known

to use torture methods,
like burning fingers,

exactly the way Dr. Khan died.

Keep track of that phone.

And I want a BOLO out
on Nathaniel Boja now.

Heads up.

Check your phone.

JOC's ID'd our killer.

Jubal, looks like Aaliyah
just fished out

some SD cards
from a newspaper stand.

Does that mean anything to you?

Yeah, it's all coming
into focus now.

Police reports
from Andrew Davis's house

indicate the security cams
were all conveniently

missing SD cards.

So Aaliyah witnessed the murder

and then stole the SD cards.

Why would she do that?
- Well, my first guess is

to erase herself from them.

OK, so she has proof
of a murder.

She should have
given that to us.

Aaliyah's on the move again.
We're gonna follow.

very last casino license.

try and apologize.

Just want to come

My mother told me,
never apologize

Technically, we did go
undercover together,

a second date.

Ah, second date. OK.

Actions speak louder than words.

he will understand.

And I'd love to come with you.

OK, fine.

You can come with me.

But first, we need more kibbeh

Unless you're in a rush.

No, no rush.

OK.

we've had three dates today.
