Original subtitles

Dead man's hand.

Aces and eights.

Unbelievable. These cars must owe you money, Mr. Meech.

Just lucky, I guess.

It's nearly midnight. You should get some sleep.

Big day tomorrow.

Once more out.

Calms my nerves.

Yeah, fine.

This is what they mean by sunk costs.

Shift change?

Too early.

Secure to witness?

Sorry, agents.

It's just me.

AUSA Rothbard.

Everything okay?

I just need to go over a few final details with my witness before tomorrow.

Of course, sir.

He's back here.

We'll just be in the living room.

Mr. Meech, what the hell is this?

Son of a bitch. Run!

Watson, shoot her inside. One agent and... Agent

Littman,

report back. What happened?

Kenya? Hello? Hello, is everything alright?

Agents of Dan.

Copy that.

Well, what else is we've done a graveyard shift Gemma say when you're

sneaking out She didn't wake up Yeah, okay.

They're a giant big-ass feet clomping around. It's midnight and I get some

people sleep Thanks for getting here so fast, it's a nightmare

two of my best agents on protective detail plus the witness Cordell Meech

Supposed to testify in a grand jury in the morning

Someone came here to make sure he wouldn't talk.

Who knew about this location?

Just us and the U.S. Attorney's Office.

This was kept quiet.

Well, the only show casings I'm seeing are from our agents.

This guy cleaned up after himself.

Who called it in?

Agent Kenya Littman over there.

Dispatcher heard her die on the line.

We assumed the killer was still inside.

He didn't break in.

He didn't try to disable the cameras either.

No. We haven't seen or watched the footage yet.

It's all yours.

Okay, so our witness was shot point blank. Our agents were over here aimed

in that direction.

Whoever killed them. Our agents let them in.

All right, folks. I know it's late, but 41 minutes ago, a federal whistleblower

named Cordell Meach was murdered in FBI custody along with two agents from the

Bureau of Security Division.

It cuts deep when we lose any of our own, so let's step it up tonight for

Kenya Littman and Richard Brown.

All right, let's talk about Mr. Meech.

Cordell Meech was set to be questioned before a grand jury in less than eight

hours. He was an accountant for Wellreach Health, an NGO that provides

free anti-malarial meds for sub-Saharan Africa.

Wellreach Health.

Recently lost their government funding, right? Yes, so it wasn't political. An

accusation was made of a corporate loophole being used to possibly launder

money. That's the probe. Right. Well, we need to dig into that, but we eyes up on

the safe house security cameras. Sir, just got the feed.

Looks like we got a pizza delivery guy at 9.02 p.m. Doesn't enter, just stands

in the doorway, hands them the pizza. Right, okay.

11.48 p.m.

This guy shows up.

Okay, yeah.

That's a good enough angle for facial rec.

Uh, no, that's... AUSA Meyer Rothbart.

Well, it makes sense that he'd be there. Rothbart's leading the grand jury,

though it's pretty late for a witness debrief. Yeah, this is weird.

What? The emergency call to dispatch came at 11.51 p.m.

AUSA Rothbart was still inside.

We definitely did not find Rothbart's body at the scene of the crime, right?

No, look, a minute later.

Just strolls out the front door.

So, Rothbart was still inside the safe house when the murders happened.

That... Would mean... We are not saying a New York AUSA gunned down his own

witness and two of our agents.

Yet. We need to talk to Meyer Rothbart. Where is he now? It's almost 1 a.m.

Phone's pinging at his home address.

Send a team.

Did you ever see anything like this? When you're a prosecutor, an attorney

just snaps, kills his own witness?

Can't say that I have. Let's hope there's another explanation.

Hello?

AUSA Meyer Rothbart, FBI.

Hello? Mr. Rothbart?

Anybody home?

Eva? I don't want to see this.

Oh, that's Rothbart, all right.

So what are we saying here? That an AUSA kills a star witness, and rather than go

down for it, he decides to take his own life?

I don't know. I'm not so sure. There are no powder burns. Look at the

bloodstains. It's dark at the edge like he's been here a while.

That's full rigor.

Yeah.

Jubal, we found Maya Rothbard dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot

wound. Now, I'm no M.E., but this guy's definitely been here for at least seven

hours. When did you say your witness was killed again?

Yeah, 57 minutes ago.

There's no way Rothbart could have been our shooter.

All right, what the hell's going on? Somebody help me out. If AUSA Rothbart

died seven hours ago, then how the hell did he show up in high-def resolution at

that safe house? You know what? Run it back.

Here you go.

I mean, right?

It looks like Meyer Rothbart. Did you run it?

Threw a facial wreck. Just did.

And? 63% match.

63, huh? That's not a home run.

Let's head down another road, see where it takes us. What if somebody killed?

Rothbart tried to make it look like suicide.

And then what? Assumed Rothbart's identity so they could gain access to a

federal safe house and silence a star witness?

Sounds insane, but it fits the current fact pattern.

Hey, guys, Rothbart's car just pinged out a traffic cam. Okay. Three minutes

ago. Look.

Like New Zealand? Yeah.

I mean, sure looks like him. What is going on here? Let's get a team on that

car.

There it is.

Jubal, we found Rothbart's car. No sign of him, though.

Wait, is that him?

Looks like he's stealing another car.

You want a piece of this?

My bad.

Good

to

see you again,

Agent Bell.

Don't move.

Away.

I know who we're chasing.

It's Oslo.

He's back.

the midnight oil.

Oh, so you heard the news.

What? That Oslo, a contract killer wanted by Interpol in six countries,

including our own, just washed up on our shores?

Well, we're on it.

That's what you said last time when he murdered a U.S. senator and a well

-respected CEO.

He will not get away again.

That's why I'm here at 1.30 in the morning, to make sure that he doesn't.

All due respect, Anna, I am running this investigation.

Oslo has murdered VIPs all over the globe.

My people consider him an invaluable asset.

He has state secrets that we would love to get our hands on.

Anna, I don't pretend to know what it is you want, but this one is on my turf, so

you can either help or step aside.

All right, listen up. Anna Vorp will be coming on board to lend a hand.

So what do we got? So we know Oslo's been in disguise all night as a USA

Rothbart. We think he'll shed it if he hasn't already.

But thankfully, we know what he looks like now. His face is in our system, so

the manhunt is on.

And NYPD has joined in, so has U.S. Marshals. The DHS is monitoring ports

and airstrips. I brought NSA up to speed. They're on signals intelligence.

Very good.

This hit on Cordell Meech has something to do with the grand jury hearing.

Someone hired Oslo to silence their star witness, so...

Who's to say that Oslo's job is done?

Right, we're right. So who are the other witnesses that are expected to testify

in six hours? One is Elliot Griffin, the locations manager for Wellreach Health.

The second is Lynette Caddick, the CFO for the company.

Yeah, but Meech was the whistleblower. He was the only witness in FBI

protective custody.

Means these two are sitting ducks.

Well, wake them up. Let them know our agents are coming by to bring them to 26

Fed.

I'm not liking this one bit.

Yeah.

I'm going to go around the corner. Yeah.

Man approaching with a weapon.

Hey, hey, hey, Elliot.

Get out of here. Go. Elliot, stop.

FBI. Easy, easy. Put the bat down now.

My name is Special Agent Scola with the FBI. This is my partner, Special Agent

Ramos.

You scared the crap out of me. It's 3 in the morning, man.

Look, Mr. Griffin, we're sorry to alarm you, but we're here because we believe

that there's a credible threat against your life regarding a testimony that

you're supposed to give in a couple hours.

My life?

It's an accounting trial.

You need to come with us right now.

Got a pack of bag, everything you might need for the next 24 hours, because you

won't be coming home before the grand jury.

Let's go.

Hey, Ed, I just got off the phone with the criminal division chief. The man was

in shock. Rothbard had been with the Eastern District for 16 years.

Hmm. So are they gonna push for a postponement?

Turns out, no. They don't want to delay the grand jury.

He's gonna assign another senior attorney to the case and... Even after

the last one was murdered?

We will not be intimidated into silence.

No, we will not.

Um, and what about the other witnesses?

Uh, yeah, they're en route.

Okay. Will you let me know when they get here? Yeah.

Hell of a night.

Yeah, I'm running on pure adrenaline.

What are you working on?

Peeling back the onion.

Do you need a sounding board?

Sure.

We know Oslo is motivated by money, but he's just a weapon put in play for the

right price.

The real question is, who would want to derail the grand jury?

You're asking who's the target?

Right. Someone with the finances to afford Oslo's services.

Exactly.

Wellreach Health gets a lot of its funding from CSR programs and

philanthropic grants, so maybe we look into the donor lists?

Or what if the mastermind behind this attack has been under our nose the whole

time?

The CFO of Wellreach Health?

Lynette Kadic.

She just bought a vacation home upstate right on the water.

Eight million.

For eight million, I'd expect the Hamptons.

Misappropriation of government funds?

That certainly tracks.

She's here.

I'm gonna go help Jubal wrangle the witnesses.

Right.

Wanted to meet the boss?

This is our ASAC Jubal Valentine. Hello. Welcome, ma'am. This is ridiculous.

I demand to be placed into witness protection.

If there's been a threat on my life... You're safe here. Miss Caddick, I assure

you. He's right. Nobody gets into 26 Fed unless they're invited.

You'll be sequestered here until the grand jury and then remain in protective

custody for the next 24 hours.

Where are we taking her? We're going to the conference room on 20th and Officer

Ramsey will stay with her there. Thanks.

Thank you, ma'am.

Okay.

Next step?

Yeah.

Welcome, Mr. Griffin.

You're safe now.

You'll be going to the fourth floor. Myers, we'll stay close for your

protection. Hang on. If someone's going after the witnesses, Lynette's in

danger. No, she's here already. She's safe.

Can I see her?

This has all been so crazy, man. Well, procedure requires we keep you separated

before the grand jury to avoid any appearance of collusion before your

testimonies. Yeah, thanks.

This fine gentleman will take you to the fourth floor. Thanks, Myers.

You're welcome. You want to come with me?

All right.

Yeah, you guys mind getting a start on a communication with PSYOC, just giving

them a status report?

Yeah, we can do that. Okay, thank you.

You got it.

Okay.

Two for two, not bad. Yeah, well, we're definitely not out of the woods.

Oslo is not giving up. His next opportunity is when we move the

witnesses to the courthouse. I'll wrangle with the folks at JSOC for an

intel assessment. I can give you guys the safest route. Okay, yeah, that'd be

great. Thank you, appreciate it. See you around, Valentine.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

We have an FBI police officer down in the west garage stairwell sending a team

ASAP.

Myers, are you still with the witness Elliot Griffin?

Myers?

Myers, do you read me?

Hey, Oslo's here. He's in the building.

Alert Lynette Caddick's detail.

He's coming for her next.

He's here, Oslo. He's in the building.

He's already killed Elliot Griffin and he's going after Lynette Caddick next.

Initiate a building-wide lockdown.

Restrict all elevator access and seal every exit.

And I want FBI police at both of these jock doors. I'll notify our agents.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Oslo stole Myers' radio and his employee access

badge. We need to stay off the comms, assume he can hear us. I want a private

tactical channel with our team. On it.

Deactivate that stolen badge. We can't have Oslo with full access to this

building. Yeah, copy that.

How the hell did he get inside?

That's a million dollar question.

Okay, I got the feed from the parking garage.

Chokes out our officer in the stairwell.

And finishes the job.

I want teams combing all lower floors. No one goes alone.

Who's got the fourth floor feed? I'm up on it.

All right, scrub back. Let's see what we're up against here. Here you go.

He just took a picture.

When was this?

Not even six minutes ago.

Where's my private channel?

Uh, it's up. They've all switched to channel three. Channel three. Uh, listen

up. From this point on, we only use this channel. Our comms have been

compromised. Oslo is in the building. He's already executed two of our

officers and Elliot Griffin.

Copy. We'll start clearing the lower floors.

Okay, great. Maggie away. He'll be headed to Lynette next.

Whoa, we just left her.

Okay, we'll get back there and move her to a more secure room and strong point

that location.

Copy that.

Not in there.

Jubal, Convict's room is empty.

Are we too late?

Hang on.

FBI! Drop your weapon!

Ramsey, it's us. Take it easy.

Where's Lynette?

She's with me.

Come on. Come over here.

We have the witness.

You told me I'd be safe here.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

All right, Maggie and Owen have Lynette Caddick. They're moving her off a 20.

Then where the hell is this guy?

Well, we're scanning every live feed in the building, but it's like Oslo just

vanished. Well, keep your eyes peeled. He is definitely here.

He's got to know we're on to him, so he'll be avoiding the cameras.

This is 26 Fed. There's only so many places you can hide.

Wait. Got him.

Okay. Where is this? On floor 15.

Well, that's only five floors below Maggie and OA.

They're going to need someone to run interference. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Skola, Eva, listen up. Oslo's already made it to 15. What's your location?

We're still down on 10.

All right, get to 15.

You stairwell away. But remember, Oslo's already killed three people in this

building. Please be careful.

Going away.

Boss, we got bigger problems. Talk to me. Oslo just ducked into an office on

15, and look.

What?

What is he doing?

He's making a torch.

Pretty clever.

If this works.

We just lost a feed.

Every camera's down on that floor.

He's covering his movements.

Eva, Skola, heads up. Oslo, use the building's fire suppression system to

take out the cameras on 15.

So you're on your own until we get the feeds back.

Over here.

Hey. I was just trying to get someplace safe.

Jubal, medical to 15. We have an individual with a gunshot wound.

Hey, let's look at this, okay?

All right, good news. It's not fatal.

There's no way Aslan missed that shot.

You're right.

He wanted us to find her. He's diverting us.

Ma'am, did you see which way he went?

That way.

Back that way.

All right, I'm gonna cut him off.

Oslo, drop your weapon!

Got shots fired, stairwell C.

Oslo, near 19, I'm in pursuit.

19th floor. Yeah, pulling up 19th floor.

Maggie, oh wait, did you hear that?

Oslo is now one floor below you, near stairwell C.

We'll keep moving up.

Yeah. Okay, West elevators are clear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? We're going to send the West elevator to you.

Get on and we'll bring you up to us. Copy. We're going to turn around. Let's

go.

Ramsey, watch our six.

Jubal, we're here.

We're easy targets.

Yeah, elevators almost to you. Hang in there.

Jubal, we're in.

The grand jury's in five hours.

We'll get you there.

This is karma.

Cover her.

Jubal, I think Oslo might be on top of our elevator. Get us out of here now.

Copy.

Override the doors. Open them. Get them out of there. Doing it now.

Ramsey.

Jubal, always stuck in the elevator with Oslo.

What? What the hell happened?

The override bucked. We have to get it to a programmed floor.

Get it to this floor. Scala Eva, get to the 31st floor of the west elevator

break. Go! To the elevator break! Go! Now!

Run!

Threats contained.

Agent Zidane, back on your feet.

Amazing recovery from a Novichok.

You had to know that you were gonna fail today, Oslo.

Is that right?

We have your face now, your biometrics, your prints.

You are not just in our system, but every law enforcement agency in the

country is looking for you.

We know you make 20 million per hit.

This was a risky job.

Breaking into the FBI field office?

Had to have been more. So who has the resources to get your attention?

What makes you think I'd know?

Well, this testimony, you're supposed to get for well-reached a few hours. Why

don't we start with that?

I was planning to invoke my Fifth Amendment rights tomorrow. I won't

incriminate myself to the FBI.

Lynette, I am willing to offer you a limited-use immunity.

That means that whatever you say in this interview cannot be used against you.

And we are obviously all in a jam here, so please, tell us who would want to

silence you and the other witnesses.

I don't know their identity.

Mm. How convenient.

Most clients demand anonymity. But this client was beyond careful.

Real tradecraft.

Non-existent digital footprint.

Their payment method was sophisticated.

Untraceable. Got it. I believe they work for the United States military.

A lobbyist emailed me 19 months ago.

Said they were from a hush-hush firm in the city.

They wouldn't tell me which one, but they wanted me to start a money

laundering scheme to move cash offshore.

As an NGO, Wellreach would make the perfect vehicle.

I told them to take a hike. I had no interest in committing financial fraud.

But then I... They told you what your cut would be?

15%.

And they needed to launder millions.

More money than I had ever seen.

So you took the payout, you looked the other way. I knew what I was doing was

wrong, but it was just paperwork.

It was just spreadsheets, numbers.

It wasn't hurting anyone.

But one day I got curious and started digging.

Traced the money to a front in Ramadi.

Iraq. This isn't the first time.

This client has employed my services.

All targets I've eliminated for them seem to benefit U.S. interests.

And the language they use, tactical jargon, uniquely military.

What was the lobbyist's name?

I don't know. We never met in person. We only communicated over secure email.

Tell us their name.

Tribune.

Tribune.

At least that's what they told me to call them.

It's a code name, I know, but it's all I have.

Why are you telling us everything?

Tribian abducted my daughter.

Imogen.

That's the only reason I agreed to return to this country.

She's here, and I won't let her die because of me.

Now you want our help?

Agent Bell, the reason I let you live.

Because I knew if I failed in my mission tonight, you would follow the

breadcrumbs, and you would save my little girl. We don't need to listen to

this. Wait.

My real name is Daniel Pierce.

My work takes me all across the globe.

But Imogen is my only home.

She's all I have.

I can't let her die.

Does your daughter know what you do for a living?

Have you ever kept something from somebody you love just to protect them?

I find my daughter, and you will find Tribune.

Where are we with verifying Oslo's story?

There is an Imogen Pierce studying at NYU.

She's 21, a British national. Just called her RA. She hasn't been back to

her dorm in two days.

Okay, so she's missing. Timeline tracks.

Oslo's fully cooperating. He gave Maggie and O.A. the password to his burner

phone, and it turns out there's a private text thread between Oslo and

Tribune.

Looks like after every murder, Oslo would update Tribune by sending a proof

-of-death photo.

Well, that's Elliot Griffin and our whistleblower.

And then...

There's this.

That's Imogen Pierce.

So Oslo is telling the truth. Tribune is holding his daughter as a bargaining

chip. Can we trace Tribune's number? I already tried. It's protected by the

same enhanced encryption our military uses.

Well, that's consistent with Oslo's theory.

Whoever Tribune is, we are unmasking them now. So how do we flush them out?

Tribune's orders were clear. Kill these witnesses or you'll never see your

daughter again.

But Oslo failed. Lynette Caddick's still alive.

But no one outside of 26th Fed knows that. To save this girl and identify

Tribune, we just have to make him believe Oslo succeeded in killing all

three witnesses.

All right, put out a bolo.

Oslo escaped 26th Fed after murdering three people, including Lynette Caddick.

Now we just have to kill Lynette Caddick.

Yeah. Looks dead enough to me.

So as far as Tribune knows, the hit on Lynette was a success.

Yeah, now we just have to wait to see if he holds up his end of the deal.

Oh, wait, hang on.

It's in code.

I don't know, it's a bunch of letters and then one word, daybreak. Because why

would this be easy?

Well, the key could be any word in any language.

Good thing we have a shortcut.

I told you everything I know. I highly doubt that.

Ah.

Le chiffre indéchiffrable.

The indecipherable cipher. What's the keyword?

I wish to see my daughter one last time.

I need to tell her.

I'm sorry.

Deal. What's the keyword to unlock the cipher?

Her name, of course.

Imogen.

All right, eyes up, people. So the location Tribune texted for the drop was

encrypted with a Vigenere cipher. The shared keyword is his daughter's first

name, Imogen.

Vigenere cipher.

Yeah. Used that back in the Civil War.

Yeah. What do we get?

It's a location.

Yeah.

Okay. Listen up, all teams. We believe Tribune will be arriving at the Brooklyn

dry docks at daybreak.

We don't know what he looks like. We don't know if he'll be showing up with

the hostage. All we know for sure is we will be there waiting. So you have 40

minutes to get to those docks, set up, and get invisible. Let's go.

Doc's clear.

Nothing yet.

What's going on with you?

Just been dreaming about the day we were going to catch Oslo.

It all just seems a little... Hollow?

Yeah.

He's just a weapon, a tool.

And these people that put him to work, these powerful people, they think that

the law doesn't apply to them.

Yeah, that's true.

But I don't think that's what's going on with you.

Really? That's it?

Skola, Eva, anything yet?

Always quiet, except for the gulls.

All right, guys, heads up.

We got a sedan entering the lot at year nine.

Jersey plates, Oscar 7, Alpha 2, Delta 1.

I run it.

Plates were reported stolen two days ago. Dead end.

I can't see the driver.

Can you guys see his face?

It's like a male, mid-50s. That could be our guy.

Okay, remember that we need confirmation that the girl is in the car before we

move.

There she is.

All right, guys, we got eyes on the agent. She's in the back seat.

It's got to be Tribune. All agents, move in.

Remember, the girl is a priority.

We're primary. Scully, you go deep.

Shots fired. Suspect down.

Emotion? Special Agent Bell. Are you hurt?

No.

Where's my dad?

I said he'd be here.

Is he in trouble?

We're going to take you to him.

Guys?

Ops 10, Roland Amble over here.

Trippy needs medical attention.

If somebody helped me out here, that driver is not Tribune. Who the hell is

he? Facial rec ID'd him as Mike Heckscher, 55, originally from Columbia

City, Indiana.

Does he have a record?

Uh, Heckscher was a Marine, then he joined a unit called Task Force Copper,

rotated home in 2018.

Task Force Copper? That's an intelligence support activity.

Where was Heckscher deployed?

Uh, Iraq.

Do we have anything more specific?

Looks like Ramadi.

That's the city where Lynette Caddick claims the laundered money went to.

Right. Go, Maggie.

Jubal, we were just going through Hexer's personal effects, and there's a

photo in his wallet you're gonna wanna see. Always sending it to you now.

Uh, yeah, I got it.

Looks like Hexer's task force taken somewhere in the Middle East. And, uh,

there's a familiar face.

Hey.

Saw the bolo.

Looks like Oslo managed to evade your crack team once again.

Hmm.

Don't believe everything you read.

The grand jury hearing, our murdered witnesses from Wellreach Health, even

Oslo. They were all part of a much bigger cover-up, all set in motion by

you.

What I couldn't quite put my finger on was... Why?

And then I remembered a story about a task force copper op that went sideways

in Iraq.

Ramadi, to be exact.

It was supposed to be a quiet snatch and grab, but turns out the intel was bad.

16 Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. forces.

A geopolitical nightmare if it were to ever come out, but of course it didn't.

Because you laundered money through well-reach.

and used it to pay the locals in exchange for their silence.

But you got desperate.

The grand jury would expose everything.

You even leveraged Oslo to take out anyone who could tie you to the cover

-up.

You let him into 26 Fed to finish the job.

We stopped him.

And now I am going to stop you.

You brought your game into my backyard.

and good people died.

This ends with you in front of a judge.

You should probably get that.

Yes, sir. How can I help you?

Hey, Isabelle. I've got somebody from the SecDef's office asking for a word.

Gonna punch you over to them.

SAC Castile. This is Assistant Secretary of Defense Joe Kiernan.

Yes, sir.

What your team achieved in the past 24 hours, finally apprehending Oslo, is an

incredible victory.

But Miss Vorp is critical to the national security of the homeland.

I disagree.

Well, that's noted.

But she walks.

Who are you, really?

Have a good day, Isabel.

Well, I'm still wired. Anybody want to get breakfast?

One's going to involve the booster seat and Cheerios. I'm out. I'm going to take

over for Nina with Dougie.

Eva, what about you?

I'd love to, but I think I could still make it to kickboxing.

All right, see you.

I'm in. You want to call Gemma, see if she can make it?

That's the thing.

Gemma's not home.

Like a business trip?

We're not together anymore.

What?

Since when?

A few months ago.

A few months ago?

I knew something was up with you.

I was waiting for you to let me in.

Well, that seems to be a recurring theme with me.

I wanted to tell you, but if I did, it was going to make it real.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Pancakes aren't me.
