- We're not gonna take any
official disciplinary action,

but I thought it was worth
bringing to your attention.

He was making a joke
at another student's expense.

- Thank you,
and like I said before,

I'm sorry this happened.

- Yeah, yeah, me, too.
Of course.

- Benign bullying
is still a serious issue

and a breach
of our code of conduct.

- No, totally.
I completely agree with that.

So we'll talk to Tyler,

and we will make sure that
this never happens again, okay?

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you very much.

When I was a kid,
you get in a fight,

the teacher's like,
"Say you're sorry, shake hands."

Now they convene a grand jury
for cracking jokes.

Hey.
- Dad, don't be mad.

I was just laughing
at Cooper's joke.

I wasn't trying to be mean.
I swear.

But Lila got mad,

thought I was the one
making fun of her.

Her teeth aren't even that big.

- It's okay.
We're not mad at you, sweetie.

- Yeah, no, stuff like this
happens sometimes.

But just so your mom and I
are clear,

you didn't actually
crack the joke, right?

Cooper did?

Okay.

Well, look, it's not
that big of a deal,

but I guess it's never bad
to be reminded

that we need to be aware
of our actions.

The things we say and do,
they have consequences.

So even though you didn't
mean to upset Lila,

and you didn't actually
tell the joke,

you still need to apologize.

Can you do that?

- Yeah.
- Don't worry about it.

Have a good day.
- Kay.

- See you after school.
- Bye.

- Bye.

- Hey, actually,
I gotta say...

I'm proud of you.
- Why?

- For not ratting out Cooper.

Shows character.

[soft dramatic music]

[school bell rings]
- [softly] Are you kidding?

-We got two dead bodies.
No witnesses, no video.

Female vic was struck several

Abrasions, some swelling.

she was choked to death.

- She got a name?

- Right now, it's Jane Doe.
No ID, no phone, no nothing.

- All right, so Scott Conway--

Assistant U.S. Attorney
of the Southern District,

married, two kids, played
football for Boston College,

graduated
from Harvard Law School.

Been with the Office six years.
One of us.

So let's do him right.

First question is, was this
random street violence,

or a planned attack?

Second, was Scott Conway
and the female DOA

connected in any way,

or was one of them in the wrong
place at the wrong time?

The canvas is blank, people.

So let's dig in,
add some color.

Start with Conway.

Track his movements
prior to the murders.

Dig into his case files--
any problems, threats.

And while we're at it,

let's find a new name
for Jane Doe, shall we?

Go to work.
How we doing?

- Yeah, I ran her
through facial rec.

No hits.

- All right, well,
let's start monitoring

Missing Persons report.

Hopefully,
somebody realizes she's missing

and calls the NYPD.

You guys want to hit the M.E.,
see if the killer left any DNA?

- Yeah.
- Great.

So head down
to the Southern District.

Start looking into Conway--
his life, his cases.

- Hey, there are a lot
of eyes on this.

- Figured.

- Yeah, only 13 prosecutors

in the last 100 years
have been murdered,

so we gotta close
this case fast.

- Sounds good.

- Hey, I'm sorry.

- It's nice to see you again,
Maggie.

- Yeah, you too.

- I wish it was under
different circumstances.

- I take it you
and Scott were close.

- Yeah, yeah, we started here
at the same time.

We shared an office
for two years.

Wait, has anyone
contacted Allison yet?

- Yeah,
she's on her way to Worcester,

dropping the kids off
at the parents' house.

- Okay, good.
[sighs]

- Mona, was there anything
unusual going on

in Scott's life?

I mean, any financial problems
or personal issues?

- Not that I'm aware of.

He was a pretty straight-laced
guy, worked hard,

loved his wife, his kids.

- What about the cases
he was working on?

Anything particularly
dangerous?

- No.

No, he was in
the White Collar Division--

fraud, insider trading.

Those guys aren't known
for being too violent.

But let me introduce you
to Shelby, his assistant.

She'll give you access
to his files and his emails.

- Okay.

- We were just living our lives
and then some detective calls

and says your husband's
just been shot and killed.

- Thank you.

- Sorry you're going
through this.

But if it's okay,

we'd like to ask you
a few questions.

Were you and Scott
having any problems?

Financial, marital?

- No, nothing like that.

- Ma'am, your husband's body

was found about 20 feet
from another body.

- What?
Two people were killed?

I didn't know.

The police
just told me about Scott.

Who was he with?
- A woman.

We haven't been able
to identify her.

Maybe you can
take a look at a photo.

It's pretty disturbing, so...

- No, I don't know her.

She looks very young.

- Yeah.
We're guessing she's about 20.

- So wait, Scott and this woman
were together?

- Their bodies were found in
close proximity to one another.

That's all we really know
at this point.

- Are you saying my husband

was having an affair
with this woman?

- No.
Absolutely not.

- We're just
presenting the facts,

trying to understand
what happened.

Thank you.

Just one more thing.

Where were you last night
around 11:00?

- Home with my children.

- Gotta be honest.

I feel like you're getting
ahead of the case.

- Excuse me?
- We don't know if Conway

and Jane Doe
even knew each other,

let alone slept together.

- I'm aware of that.

- Well, then why are you
making it sound like

he was having an affair?

- I just presented the facts.

- Well, you could've
presented them

with a little more finesse.

- Not my thing.
Sorry.

We're investigators,
not marriage counselors.

- Conway's wife
didn't know Jane Doe.

Had no idea why her husband
was with her last night.

- Her alibi checked out, too.

She was home from 6:25 p.m.
until 7:04 a.m.

So there's no need to chase
the jealous wife theory.

- Right, okay.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- A woman just filed a missing
persons report on her daughter.

Female, black, 19 years old,

5'8", 125 pounds.

Her name's Maya Depriest.

- Yeah, yeah.
That sure looks like her to me.

All right, eyes up.

Looks like we found a name
for our Jane Doe.

Maya Depriest.
- What do we know about her?

- Well,
she lives in Brownsville.

No priors.

Father, Lawrence,
was killed in 2013.

Mother, Christina,
was incarcerated in 2014

for cocaine distribution--
released two months ago,

and currently
living in Mount Vernon.

Something wrong?
- Uh, no.

No, just thinking about
the poor mother.

That's a lot of tragedy
for one person to handle.

- Hey, I just got something.
- Yeah.

- Just ran Maya's photo
through a reverse face search,

got a hit on a website called,
"Entice Escorts."

- Okay, so she's an escort.

Start digging.
See if there's a nexus.

In the meantime, we have
to notify Maya's mother.

You know what?
I'll take care of it.

I gotta head up to Westchester
to see the kids anyway.

- Hey, Jubal.
Just talked to the lab.

We got the DNA results
on Maya's body.

No hits.

- So Conway isn't a match?

- No, but I mean,
him and Maya

could've known each other,
of course.

But there's nothing
on his phone or computer

that suggests that they
had a personal relationship.

- What about professional?

- No.
We searched the search history.

No evidence that he visited
the site "Entice Escorts" or

any other morally-ambiguous
sites, for that matter.

- I wish the tabloids
knew that.

- Hm?

- News of Maya's profession
has leaked.

The coverage is brutal.

"Fed and Sex Toy Murdered."

"High-Class Hooker Dies
in the Arms of Prosecutor."

And my personal favorite,

"Maya Costs More
Than Your New iPhone."

These media pigs
are having a field day

cashing in their legacy
for a bunch of cheap headlines.

All right, listen up!

So now we're gonna assume that
Maya and Conway were strangers,

and given the personal nature
of the attacks,

especially
with regards to Maya,

we'll also assume
that the murders

were not the results
of random street violence,

which means one
was the primary target,

and the other
was collateral damage,

so dig deep and dig fast.

Let's go.

- Hey, we just got Maya's cell
phone data from the carrier.

Looks like she was at a party
shortly before her death.

We don't know the address,

but we do know the initials
of the host.

B.T.
- B.T., right.

- Now, the time of death
was about 11:45 p.m.,

but the last time
Maya's cell phone

pinged off a cell tower
was 10:27 p.m.

here on Varick Street,

which mean she was in Tribeca

within a half mile
of that tower.

- Keep digging, Brother Ian.
There's oil in there somewhere.

- Now, these are all
the Instagram posts

tagged in Tribeca
around that time,

so if I filter
through the captions

and hashtags
with keywords like B.T.,

party, bash, soiree...

Oh.
[laughs]

The oil's officially
gushing, sir.

- Who is Big Tracy?
- That's a rapper.

Getting pretty hot now, too.

- Yeah, he's all over social
media posting crazy photos,

waving guns,
flashing gang signs.

- Track him down.
See what he knows.

[dramatic music]

- [sighs] Yeah,
I heard about that girl.

It's a damn shame.

- Name's Maya.

- Right.

She was a really beautiful girl,
and she could sing.

Like for real, for real.

- Okay, did you notice
anything unusual at your party?

Arguments, confrontations?

- Nah, nothing like that.

- Well, if you did,
you'd tell us, right?

- Oh, of course
I would, Officer.

- It's Special Agent.
Like we said, we're FBI.

- All right, my bad.

It's just--all y'all cops
look the same to me, so...

- [chuckles]
Okay.

There's one major difference.

When you lie to one of us,
it's a felony.

Do you understand that?
- We understand.

♪

- Fair enough.

Did you talk to Maya
last night?

- We talked for a minute
or something.

We talked about her
getting on some records,

you know, doing some hooks.

- So you do know her?

- How'd you guys meet?

- I don't know.
Mutual friend or something.

- This friend have a name?

- Okay, guys.
That's enough.

You want to keep
asking questions,

I'm gonna have to call
Tracy's criminal attorney.

why would you have to call

a music manager, Agent Bell,

but I'm not as country

Yale Law School,
class of 2014.

- Okay, so we pulled
surveillance video

from the building
next to Tracy's condo.

There is Maya on her way
into the party

at 9:47 p.m.

And there is Maya
on her way out at 11:05 p.m.

- Smile's gone.
That's for sure.

- She's nervous, in a hurry,
keeps looking over her shoulder.

- Something must've
happened upstairs.

She got nervous
and got the hell out of there.

Keep rolling.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm guessing
he's what happened upstairs.

Maybe he and Maya got into
some type of argument.

- Could be her pimp.

Brought her to the party
hoping to find clients.

- Yeah, run them through
facial rec, huh?

- Already on it.
[keyboard clacking]

Okay, Marcus King AKA Thumper.

He is from Brownsville,
just like Maya.

A known member of the 718 Gang.

- That's a rough crew--
dealing drugs, money, women.

- Women now?

- New profit center.
Can only sell a kilo once.

Can sell a woman
five, six times a day.

Great business model

if you're a heartless thug,
that is.

- Okay, find out where
Thumper lives, works, hangs out.

Let's go.

- Yeah, I know Maya.
Why you ask?

- She died last night.

- Damn.

- Yeah.
- That's too bad.

She was cool.

I mean,
she grew up around the way.

You know, see her sometimes.
I'd say what's up.

- Did you guys ever work
together in any capacity?

- Nah, nah.

- Did you see her at
Big Tracy's party last night?

- Yeah, I did, little bit.
Said, "Hey."

- When did you leave the party?

[soft hip-hop music playing]

- [laughs softly]

You know, I gotta be honest.

I'm starting to detect
a negative vibe happening here.

You know, it's, like, making me
kind of uncomfortable.

- We're sorry about that.

I guess the thing is,
is we also feel uncomfortable.

- Oh, yeah?
How's that?

- 'Cause you're lying to us.

You and your gang
pimped out Maya.

- [laughs]

Pimped?
So you--

okay, I think you have me
confused with someone else.

I ain't no pimp.
I'm not in a gang.

I'm a music producer.

I produce upcoming artists
like Big Tracy--

- Yeah, no,
that's all very exciting.

However, we're far more
interested in where you went

after Big Tracy's party.

What'd you do?

Get in a cab,
go to a jazz club?

- Um...

we're gonna see you again.

Only next time,

heading east on Canal.

And here is Thumper
at 11:19 p.m.

heading the same
direction as Maya.

- That confirms
what we thought.

Thumper was following her.

What about Conway?
We have video on him?

- Conway was walking home
around the same time.

I got him on Lafayette Street
walking north at 11:10,

then turning west
onto Franklin at 11:17.

- Okay, so he was walking
towards Maya and Thumper

on a street
a few blocks south of Canal.

- And a few blocks from where
the murder took place.

- And this is Conway at 11:21,
still on Franklin heading here,

his apartment on Church.

- While Maya and Thumper
are over on Canal,

crime scene is in the middle.

- He was just walking home,

saw Maya and Thumper fighting,
wanted to intervene.

Wrong place, wrong time.

- Just spoke to Thumper.
He wasn't very forthcoming.

And for the record,

he's very adamant
that he is not pimp...

[cell phone buzzes]
Or a gang member.

- It's Mona.

She says it's urgent.

- We've been investigating
Thumper and his crew for months.

We have wires up in his car,
his apartment, his club.

- Has he said anything
about these two murders?

- No, he's careful.

Doesn't say too much,
and usually speaks in code.

Except for today.

- What do you mean?

- Big Tracy fired him
as a producer

and Thumper went nuts.

- I don't blame him.

Hanging with Thumper
and the gang put him on the map.

- That's how Thumper
sees it too,

which is why he got so pissed,

which is why he just put out
a contract on Big Tracy's life.

- Really?

Bad news for him,
good news for us.

- Mm, how is that?

- He's vulnerable.
He needs us.

- You want to use
the death threat

to leverage
Tracy's cooperation?

- Yeah, damn right, I do.

- That seems risky.

It's like putting a hen
in front of a fox

and hoping he's not hungry.

No one plays 718 like that.

You in, you in.

We had a business disagreement.
That's all.

- You used him and his gang
to make you legit,

to make you interesting.

And then you fired him.
That's not a disagreement.

- It's more complicated
than that.

- Well, it seems
pretty simple to Thumper.

- All right, so me and Thumper
are having problems,

he want to smoke me.

My question is,
why do y'all care?

- Because our objectives
are now aligned.

- What's that mean?

- It means we both
want Thumper off the street.

Us because
he killed two people,

you 'cause I'm assuming
you want to stay alive.

- So you want me to snitch?

- We would like you
to cooperate.
