Original subtitles

There was no exposure.

There was no containment. Do you understand me? There were 18 Americans

on that bus. We cannot sweep this under the rug and pretend it never happened.

This is above all of our clearances.

Anna Vorp.

The Secretary of Defense contacted me personally.

She is protected.

You are a disgrace to the Bureau.

And you're fired.

I cannot lose you. You're never going to lose me, Max.

I strike teamwork off the books. You'd be an asset, OA.

Animator move.

I'm in.

Okay, we got it.

Who's today's lucky winner?

Target's name is Cameron Kaleo.

Get familiar?

Fiber Junction's offline.

I loop the cameras and I brick their access doors.

She buys about four minutes.

You really think we need all this hardware?

Green light!

where we can see that.

Line up against the window.

Now!

He's not here.

Where's Cameron Kaleo?

Where is he?

He just left.

We're not leaving without him. Split up.

Camera Kaleo!

You're gonna want to tell us.

How'd I get tricked?

Someone pulled the fire alarm.

We're burnt.

Should we bail?

No, keep looking.

Copy.

Oh no.

Oh no. I got eyes on the target. Camera Kaleo! Stop!

FBI, don't move.

Another day, and still nothing.

And good morning to you, too. It's been three months.

I hate this.

OA will reach out when he has something that we can use against Anna Vorp.

Until then, any communication's too risky.

Do you even know if your transmitter's working? Have you checked it?

They're both working fine.

Okay, then let's ping them right now.

Get a status report.

Okay. Maggie.

Do you want to take down Anna?

Or do you want your partner back?

I want both.

OA is not an active agent anymore.

His mission is unsanctioned. You and I are the only two people at this bureau

who knows what he's doing.

Any attempt to reach out could jeopardize our careers and put OA in

more danger. I know. I know that.

I just want to hear his voice.

Okay? I need to know that he's alive.

I know. Me too.

Am I interrupting?

Hi. No, not at all. I was just updating Maggie on a new case. We've got a body

in Fonstock State Park.

I should go.

Uh, hey.

How's your new partner working out?

Great. Really great.

You know...

I would have got you something, but it turns out after all this time, I still

don't know your coffee order.

I mean, we were on a game show together.

I stopped on the way in.

I'm fine.

Hey, I'm happy to be passenger princess.

My old partner let me drive every once in a while.

Good to know.

When he chewed that lemon slice, it's the exact same face that you make when

you hear Joe, too. Are you mocking my job? I'm mocking you.

But honestly, I'm honored that you let me introduce Dougie to the concept of

sour. No, it was great having you.

Looks like we're here.

There they are. Yep.

They certainly haven't found their rhythm.

That's gotta be hard for Maggie. I mean, I see his uncle's the guy who farmed

away. Can't blame the kid, though.

Not Maggie's partner's fault that his uncle's the 80.

So what do we got?

Wildlife Ranger discovered our Vic in early morning patrol.

Single gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Nine millimeter.

Based on Emmy's prelim, the girl was killed about 12 hours ago.

That's horrible.

She just turned 21.

Any signs of sexual assault there? No. And her wallet and keys are still on her

body. Her name is Clara Brooks.

The van is registered in her name.

It's like she was just up here on a camping trip.

Yeah, I'm vlogging all about it.

Hi, and welcome to my channel.

I'm documenting my adventures because I just love camping and nature, and I

learned to love the outdoors from my mom and dad, so... Okay, so that's Clara

Brooks. She was only 21 years old, and her life was cut short in what appears

to be an act of random violence.

She's from Alabama, but since her body was found across state lines, this one's

ours to handle. So let's get justice for Clara, yeah?

So Clara was a travel influencer trying to be one, had a small following on

TikTok. She posted videos about her hashtag van life.

Thanks. Emmy puts her time of death at approximately 6.30 p.m. yesterday.

You guys are scanning her texts, right? Did she have a boyfriend?

Yeah, yeah. She did mention to a few friends that she started dating a guy a

few months ago, but only refers to him as Jay.

So, looks like we'll have to buy a valve to ID this guy. Jubal, got something.

Okay, from Clara's camera, right? Yeah, and this was shot yesterday.

What did you do with my book?

I didn't touch it. I left it right there on the table. You're always moving my

stuff to film your stupid video.

Hey, right there. That's got to be enough for facial rec, right?

Let's see what this J is short for, other than jerk.

Got him. Jeff Watts, 25.

Went to college in Alabama for wrestling.

Got suspended after a DV charge.

Well, that tracks.

Let's find him. Yeah.

55% of all female homicide victims in the U.S. are killed by their domestic

partners. I found his police report.

Looks like he threatened his then-girlfriend with an unregistered

gun, 9mm.

Clara was also killed with a 9mm.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's find this guy. You ping his phone?

Yes, but he turned it off. From what we can see, his last known location was at

the state park.

Okay, so he's running. Hey, boss, Claire's credit card was just used 11

minutes ago to rent a car at Crosspoint.

Send a team.

Sam.

Someone's looking for a way out of town fast.

You want to... Jeff Watts, FBI.

Look, we just want to talk.

Jeff! Jeff! Drop the bag! Jeff!

Stay back!

It wasn't me.

I didn't kill her! Okay, Jeff. Look, if that's true, the FBI is going to sort it

all out.

All right?

But can you understand why right now it's looking a lot to me like you're

running? I had to run!

I know what it looks like!

Everyone is just going to say that I did it. This is all going to land on me,

even though I did nothing wrong.

All right, Jeff, so why don't you just put the weapon down and tell me what did

happen, okay?

This was all Clara's fault. She treated me like I was absolutely nothing.

No, no, no, no. Get off me.

Get off of me.

Stop, stop.

No. You don't understand.

You don't understand.

We got into a stupid fight.

I said we needed space to cool off, so I hiked up to the top of Candlewood Hill.

I don't know where Clara went, but when I got back to the car, she was already

dead.

Got any way to back that up?

Yeah.

Check my hiking app.

The app is called Trail Tracker. It is part social media platform, part GPS

mapping system. It's a way for people to track their hikes and share their

workouts. Whatever happened to unplugging in nature?

So both Claire and Jeff had profiles, and we were able to pull their data.

Jeff has a smart watch, and Claire was wearing a smart ring. We can see their

precise movements on the day that Claire was murdered.

So, yesterday afternoon, Jeff followed an eight-mile Grand Loop trail to the

summit of Candlewood Hill, just like he told us. He was up there for a few

hours, coming down.

At 8.16 p.m.

So he was four miles away from Clara at the time of her death, so he couldn't

have done it.

But here's where things get odd.

Clara heads north towards Spurling Pond, but about 50 yards before she gets

there, she stops in her tracks. All right, so what's their lookout point?

No, nothing. Just open trail.

Clara's only there for 30 seconds, and then this happens.

She turns and runs back to the van.

Runs as in runs?

Full speed sprint.

Look at her heart rate and pace.

Three times faster on her way back to the van.

Okay, so something out there sent Clara into fighter flight. The question is,

what?

Okay, this is the exact spot that she stopped.

Middle of nowhere.

Right, but she must have seen something that made her run back to the van.

Found a bullet hole.

Looks fresh, based off the splintered bark.

Well, to hit this tree, the shooter must have been standing over there. Let's go.

Size of a struggle.

Oh,

we got blood.

This blood goes right up to the water.

Call you, sir. We gotta dredge the lake.

Thanks,

guys.

All right.

No decomp.

He wasn't in there long.

One shot to the head.

Same as Clara.

Got an ID.

Alex Rubel out of Elmhurst.

So what do we think happened out here?

Clara saw this guy getting smoked?

Or she saw whoever did it dumping the body.

And they chased her back to her van to make sure she couldn't talk.

You know, there's a good chance that she wasn't the target.

She just witnessed an execution.

What did this poor guy get himself mixed up in?

All right, eyes up, folks. Our case just swerved. This is Alex Rebell, and post

-mortem interval suggests he was shot before our first victim. So now our

working theory is Clara stumbled upon the killer disposing of Alex's body and

paid the price. So let's talk about our latest victim. What do we know?

Alex Rubel, 43, single, ran inventory for a mid-sized commercial HVAC company

out of Queens.

Ballistics matched the striations of the bullet found in Alex's skull to the same

gun that was used to kill Clara Brooks. So, who'd want to execute an air

conditioning repairman?

All right, what else?

Well, Alex doesn't seem to be much of a people person.

Guy's got no social media other than a bare-bones LinkedIn profile.

Really? What about me? I'm fun at a party. I'm not on social media.

What about his phone? His phone was never found, but his car was parked in a

visitor lot, and good news for us, it's built an entertainment system, sucks up

a ton of personal data from any device that's paired to it.

Okay, so can we pull his texts?

Yes, let's see.

Alex Rubel's last known text was from a man named Dominic Bellacci, optometrist

out in Flatlands.

Alex asked him to go hiking. Last minute, Dominic, rain check. Doesn't

scream, means a motive. No, but we know for a fact, at the minimum, this Dominic

guy... knew that Rubell would be at an isolated location at the exact time of

his murder, and that, I say, is at least worth a conversation.

Dominic Bellacci, Special Agents Ramos and Skola, FBI. We've got a few

questions for you.

About what?

Your friend, Alex Rubell. When was the last time you saw him?

Not since Friday. Why?

Oh, you care to tell us your whereabouts the last 24 hours?

No, I do not. What is this about?

He was found murdered this morning.

Looks like you were the last person that he talked to.

No. We were careful.

We did everything they told us. What are you talking about? Who's they?

Cat.

Not here.

All right, so why don't you come back to 26 Fed? No! You don't have security

clearance for this.

Skula! Get out!

Get out!

I can't.

Dominic, no!

Incoming!

Chess fired! We got a black sprinter van fleeing north.

Harshal, New York plate to Victor, Quebec, November.

Hey, look at me.

Stay with me, okay? Can you hear me?

Help is on the way, okay?

You have to warn them.

Dominic, warn who?

Project Jehovah.

So

what

in the hell is Project Jehovah?

Dominic mentioned security clearances, so it must be some kind of government

program. Well, there's no record on the Scattered Castles database on J-Wix.

Okay, has anyone in here heard of Project Jehovah?

No? Okay, well, check with your people, because our agents were just hit by an

assault team in broad daylight that wanted Dominic Bellacci dead, and his

dying wish... is that we warn Project Jehovah, which is tricky if you don't

know what it is. We should check every defense contractor operation, every task

force, the public works archive.

Yeah, I created database crawlers to index any known references to a Project

Jehovah. Still nothing.

All right, add foreign policy ventures, State Department committees, and

political PACs. Look everywhere and anywhere.

Project Jehovah has got to exist.

Hello?

Right now?

Nikki. Hey.

Location's a little cliche, don't you think?

Well, when your people started sniffing around Project Jehovah, Langley was

alerted, so... So, what is it?

Project Jehovah is a special access program.

It's financed by the Department of Defense's black budget.

It's so classified, senators appropriating the funds don't know what

it is.

Okay, but you do. It's a nuclear forensics and attribution program.

It's the...

Strongest nuclear deterrent our country currently operates.

Uh-huh.

I guess our garage was the right call, then.

Why were you looking into it?

We weren't. We were working a series of murders.

A young woman and these two men, Alex Rubel and Dominic Bellacci.

Those men were our top nuclear scientists.

They were fully backstopped with fake... IDs, cover stories.

And now somebody is killing them.

Whoever it is wants to derail Project Jehovah.

Jubal, if this program fails, rogue states will be able to attack us using

nuclear weapons with total anonymity.

Right. And then we wouldn't be able to retaliate because we wouldn't know where

in the world to target.

I don't know how they found their names.

The FBI needs to protect the architect of this program.

He's a world-class scientist.

His backstop name is Cameron Culeo.

He's the project director.

His research facility is hidden by a business cover.

I can get you the address.

An e-waste recycling refinery.

Wait, so this lab's just been hiding in plain sight? Yeah.

Whoever's been hunting down our scientists has obviously figured out

their cover stories. We have to consider this lab's compromise.

Thank you.

Camera clue?

Can I help you?

Special Agent Bell, this is Special Agent Green. We're with the FBI.

Now, I don't want to alarm you, but we need to take you into protective

custody. Is everything okay?

Hopefully you ain't once you're on the road.

This way.

Let's go.

This has nothing to do with Alex and Dom. They didn't show up for work. We'll

explain everything at 26 Fed.

What the hell was that?

Is this supposed to be unlocked?

No.

We've got company.

What do you mean?

All right, hopefully this creates a diversion.

You protect him. I'll find his way out. All right. Copy.

Oh, no. Where'd she go?

Right here.

Don't move.

Isaiah, bring Kaleo to the mechanical room. We can get him out through there.

Someone pulled the fire alarm.

We're burned.

Copy.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I got eyes on the target.

Camera, Kaleo!

Isaiah,

do you copy?

Isaiah! FBI, don't move.

Hold on a second. Hold on a second. This is your team at the state park?

No. It wasn't us.

Then who was it?

I don't know. I swear. Go away.

Hang on.

We secured Kaleo. Get back to ORP.

I gotta go, Max. No, no, no. Hold on a second.

You gotta sell it. You gotta wait.

No. You have to hurry up.

Who were those guys?

No idea.

Hey. Hey.

O.A. was at the Project Jehovah lab.

Wait, what? I didn't get to talk to him for very long, but the strike team's

involved. They were the ones that hit Skorla and Eva?

Wait, but the strike team's the one who killed the man in the state park.

O.A. said it wasn't them, but then they took off with Cameron Kaleo.

That doesn't make any sense. If the strike team aren't the ones killing the

scientist, who is?

I mean, you should have seen the look in O.A.'s eyes.

He didn't want to be there.

I've got to bring O.A. in from the cult.

We've got to get some answers.

No, no, no, don't do that.

You said it yourself.

If we bring him back in, we could jeopardize this entire thing and put O

.A. in more danger.

Look, we know that he's alive.

He won't reach out to us if he hates us.

Obviously, if you hear anything, of course.

Hey.

Your partner's getting checked up by medical right now.

What the hell happened out there?

Sir, that was supposed to have been a simple pickup, and we lost the damn

scientist?

I mean, that team came prepared.

Whoever they were, they knew exactly what they were doing.

They were clean. They were well-trained. They were in and out in minutes.

And the jail couldn't track them?

They tried.

But they knew our weaknesses.

I mean, they slipped right through our net.

This is the headache I do not need today.

And Isaiah told me what you did.

Hey.

I promised my sister that I would, um, look after her boy.

But out there, that's your job.

Thank you.

Of course.

Oh.

Looks like they got you good.

Any trouble?

Nope. Clean up.

Music to my ears.

All right, throw him in the walk-in and get him ready.

Get up.

What do we need from him?

According to my source, for the last month, that man has been feeding

classified information to North Korea.

What kind of classified information?

It's the nuclear forensics unit he runs. We're talking information only he would

know, like the top scientists involved, two of whom were just executed by a

North Korean black bag team.

They're trying to cripple our nuclear program for the next decade.

I need to know who Cameron's contact is and exactly how much information he has

already shared.

Uh, away.

You gonna let Devin have all the fun?

Three months in, you haven't gotten your hands dirty yet.

That's more his lane, isn't it?

This isn't the FBI.

There's no cameras in there.

We need that intel.

Go get it.

Yes, ma'am.

I know you've been feeding classified intel to a North Korean agent.

Just admit it. No, no, I never, I swear, I...

Please, you have the wrong guy.

He's up.

Man can't talk if he's unconscious.

See, we know you're the guy, Cam.

You're the only person with access to the details of Project Jehovah that got

leaked.

The longer you deny it, the more upset I get.

Okay. Okay, yes.

It was me.

It was me. Keep going. Who's your contact?

It's not gonna work.

It's not gonna work.

Why don't you go get the tools?

Hell yeah, brother.

Where's this old man been?

Give me a second with him.

No.

No. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Okay?

I can see it on your face. You are innocent.

But the only reason you would say you were guilty is because you were

protecting somebody else. When that man comes back, he is gonna hurt you. I can

do nothing to stop that.

But I am not like him. We are not the same.

Do you understand me?

Whoever you are protecting, I can help. I can make sure that they don't end up

sitting right here next to you, but you're going to need to trust me.

Brother, I'm all you got.

My girlfriend.

Lainey.

Lainey Choi.

It's got to be her. I told her things.

She had access to my computer.

She's the only one who could have done this.

Okay, you think your girlfriend is a North Korean spy that targeted you?

No, she's a good person, but she's South Korean.

Her parents, they're from the North. They never got out.

Maybe, I don't know.

Okay, she was leveraged.

It's the only thing that could have made sense.

But she loves this country.

She loves me. I believe you. I do. Where can I find Lainey?

She had this trip planned for us.

We were supposed to go after her. We're at work today. She was supposed to come

pick me up.

We were supposed to meet.

Okay, where?

We had our first date.

The restaurant at the foundry.

Okay, he's coming back.

If you love Lainey, do not give up her name.

compartmentalize that information lock it behind a door in your mind and never

open that door okay it is what i was taught i have been where you are it

works i can't i i just can't you can you can i have a plan to save both of you

but i cannot do it from here so you got to stay strong for me okay okay okay

okay okay don't bother

He's not gonna talk. Let me work on him a bit.

No, let's let him stew.

The fear will soften him up.

A few bruises, but Doc says I'm gonna pull it through.

Thank you for vouching for me with your uncle.

I appreciate it.

I'm in every word.

Vanilla latte.

Whole milk.

Excuse me?

My go-to coffee order.

You know, if we ever end up on a game show together.

In the interest of full disclosure, there is something... There is something

I want to ask you.

It's probably nothing, but, um...

I'm sorry.

Isaiah, I'm gonna have to do this later.

A bit of a personal matter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Later.

Oh, man.

Sorry about that. Yeah. I should see the other guy.

How are you doing?

I'm better now.

I'm okay, but I don't have a lot of time. We gotta talk.

Okay.

So you're telling me that Cameron Kaleo is innocent?

I believe he is, but his girlfriend Laini Choi's been working with North

Korea behind his back.

Does the strike team know about this? Not yet. I told him to hold off as long

as he could, but once Devin gets her name, she's gonna spend the rest of her

life in some U.S. government black site halfway around the world.

Anna's gonna make Cameron disappear. She's gonna have to. I know, so you guys

gotta get to Laney Choi first. Her testimony will prove his innocence.

There's just not a lot of time.

Okay, well, we can do that.

But how do we find Laney?

Kaleo gave me the location of the rendezvous point.

It's a restaurant called The Foundry.

Hey, so thanks for the location.

Skull and Eve are on their way to The Foundry. Good. Are we up on CCTV feed?

We're working on it. So where did we get this intel?

Oh, a reliable source.

Okay, not our friends at New York Station.

Not this time.

Listen, I know that I am asking for your faith here, but this situation is

fragile. What I can tell you is we have on good authority.

Laini Choi has been sharing nuclear research with North Korea. She has also

leaked the names of the scientists killed today.

Okay, so what's at the foundry? We believe that it is a rendezvous point

and that Laini Choi will be there.

Alone? Or with friends?

We don't know.

Right. All right, well, let's send Maggie and Isaiah as backup.

We don't want to take any chances.

Call them now.

We also believe that Laney has made a deal with North Korea to be taken from

this country, along with her boyfriend, Cameron Kaleo.

Maggie and Isaiah saw Kaleo get extracted from Project Jehovah, but we

never got an ID on the black bag team.

Right, and that was North Korea.

And they have Kaleo now.

Regardless, our mission is clear.

We are to apprehend Laney Choi and recover our stolen nuclear research.

Yeah, you heard the boss. Let's get to work.

All right, we are at the rendezvous point.

No sign of our target.

Skola.

Laney Choi.

FBI, you need to come with us.

No, I can't. I'm waiting for my boyfriend.

We're aware that you've been leaving secrets to North Korea.

You don't get it.

They approached you. They made promises, am I right?

Look, we've seen this before, and we can help, but you need to come with us right

now. No, you can't help me.

They have my parents.

I'm sorry.

They're going to kill them if I don't do what they say.

Incoming! Get down, down, down! Get down!

Up, then!

Smear-tank is ready to fire three suspects into the sprinkler dam,

requesting immediate NYPD backup.

No! Let me go!

She's running towards them.

Come on, let's go.

When any choice is chosen aside, they're heading west out of the foundry.

We lost them.

Maggie, we lost visual on our suspect. We need eyes now.

We're coming towards you.

Suspect's still on the move. NYPD, I want you to block off every side street.

Let's reduce their options.

All right, so where do we think they're heading? All signs point to the

Queensborough Marina.

They make it to international waters. They'll be free and clear. They must

have a boat waiting. Okay, alert the Coast Guard and Harbor Unit. I want

everyone we have sitting on that marina.

We got him.

Jubal, the helicopter is losing altitude.

What?

Copter Bravo 3-3, come in.

Copter Bravo 3-3, do you read me?

Maggie, Maggie, do you copy?

I said Maggie, do you copy?

Something's wrong. They're going down.

Pete, report back.

This is Copter Bravo...

Pete's been hit. He took a round to the shoulder.

He's unconscious, but he's stable. Listen, if we can land this helicopter,

we're going to need an ambulance.

Okay, if Pete is unconscious, who is flying the chopper?

Isaiah's on the controls.

You know, you could have told me that you knew how to fly a helicopter, man.

This is Comfort Bravo 3-3. But we've lost eyes on the suspect.

All right, we got him. They're moving west towards the Queen's Borough Marina.

Bola, Eva, whatever you do.

Don't let them get on that boat!

Put your hands in the air!

There's one more!

Don't shoot!

Cover me!

Covering!

Hands high in the air. Let's go. Walk towards the sound of my voice.

Get on your knees and clasp your hands behind your head.

Shooters are down.

What the hell just happened?

These guys have orders not to be taken alive.

FBI. No, no, no, no, no. You can't do this. You can't be here. Blaney Choi,

you're under arrest.

No, no, no.

They're going to kill my parents.

Don't you get it?

You made your choice.

Get up.

I had no choice.

What a day.

Yeah.

You happy now?

I finally let you drive.

In all seriousness, I have not given you a fair shot.

I'm sorry.

It's all good.

Hey, uh, the thing I wanted to ask you.

Yeah.

Back at Project Jehovah, when I was waking up, I could have sworn I heard

you and the perp talking.

No? You did get clocked pretty hard, though.

Yeah, true.

True, yeah. I mean, who knows what I heard.

I trust you, Maggie.

But if this is gonna work, you gotta trust me back.

Damn it.

I need some help!

I got him. I got him. Here, cut him down.

He's dead.

What did you do?

What the hell is this?

You were supposed to keep an eye on the asset, Devin.

He was alone for a few minutes.

Just take care of the body.

Let's go.

Go away.

I got your message.

Cameron Kaleo's dead, Isabelle.

And he was innocent.

We conducted a rendition of a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil that is kidnapping,

and now the man is dead.

I understand.

That has to be enough to bring Anaforb down.

Go away.

Why?

Why is that not enough?

The strike team's actions... fall under a Title 50 national security exemption.

That means it's sanctioned.

Look, the FBI can't touch her. How is that even possible?

You know exactly how.

Anna has someone shielding her, and they know how to use the system.

Isabel, I... I thought this was it. I thought I was out. Please.

Go back there Get closer to Anna Identify who the shield is it is

the only way to take her down and bring you home
