This is my mom.
She flew in for graduation.

I told her you guys have
the best food in the city.

- [laughs]
We are going to miss James

when he heads off
to grad school.

He is our favorite customer.

Enjoy your meal.

♪

- All right, listen up,
everybody!

We have an active shooter
situation

in Morningside Heights--
205 West 112th Street--

the Domoda Restaurant.

- Near Columbia,
would've been packed for lunch.

- Yeah, we're getting word
there are multiple victims.

NYPD's on the scene,

but they're requesting
our assistance on this.

The shooter is still at large.

Kelly, we need access
to every camera feed

in the surrounding area.

Elise, get up on social media.

See if anyone's posting images
from the scene.

Everybody else,
start checking chatter.

We have to consider
the possibility

this is a hate crime.

Let's get to work, people.
Find this guy.

- Hey, I just got a call
from West Virginia.

The FBI hotline is blowing up
with citizen tips.

They've received multiple
reports from witnesses

who say there are two shooters.

- Two, okay, is this verified?

- No, nothing's been verified
yet,

which is why I need somebody
in the JOC

close to the investigation
examining each tip

in real time to figure out
what's actionable

and what isn't.

- What about Elise?
- Yeah, okay.

Let me bring her up to speed.

You two head over
to the crime scene

and sync up
with Tiffany and Scola.

- Copy.

- Spoke to the NYPD rep.

They're setting up
a five-block containment,

told everyone on campus
to shelter in place.

- What do we know so far?

- About 25 minutes ago,

two shooters opened fire
on customers and staff.

The cops were here
within minutes,

but the shooters were
already gone.

- Four dead, three wounded,
one critical--a young mother.

NYPD's working on identifying
the victims.

- Did we get a description
of these guys?

- Not yet,
eyewitnesses all scattered.

Uniforms are rounding them up
now.

- Restaurant doesn't have
any surveillance cams.

We're gonna talk
to local businesses,

see if they've got
any usable security footage.

- I got somebody you need
to talk to.

Restaurant host says he got
into a scuffle

with one of the shooters.

- I was by the front door,
about to seat a two-top,

when I saw a guy pull a gun
out of his jacket.

Like he was going to use it,
you know?

And then I heard gunshots
in the back of the restaurant.

[stammers]

- Deep breath.
Deep breath, Yosef.

We're gonna get this guy.

We just need your help first,
okay?

- It's okay.

Can you tell us what happened
next?

- Yes.

I lunged at the guy,

grabbed his arm
just as he pulled the trigger,

but I could not hold onto him.

He took off out the front,

but the other guy
just kept shooting.

- You're doing great, Yosef,

but did you recognize the man
you grabbed?

Have you seen him
in the restaurant before?

- No, never.

- Are you aware
of any angry customers?

Has anybody been
recently fired?

- Has the restaurant been
a target of any hate speech?

- Not directly,

but I have friends
who have been harassed

in the neighborhood.

- What about the shooters?

Can you describe
either of them?

- I only saw the one.

He was a white guy
with short brown hair, my age.

- Any distinguishing features,
tattoos, or scars?

- No, but the jacket he had on

was one of those
military types--

the camouflage
with the brown in it.

- That's good.
That helps.

- Hang in there.
We know this is traumatic.

Thank you.

[soft music]

- All right, here we go.

Suspect number one is
a 30-something white male,

short brown hair,

wearing a woodland camo
M-65 field jacket.

- Scola sent over a bunch
of security footage

from the neighborhood.

We're scrubbing it now.
- Good.

So obviously we're looking
for the camo jacket guy,

but if our shooters arrived
together,

we'll be able to identify both
of them--

two-for-one special,
just saying.

- NYPD just sent us preliminary
info on the victims.

- Yeah.
- Three out of the four killed

were of African descent.
- Uh-huh.

We find any other evidence
this is racially motivated?

- No, not yet.
- Jubal.

- Yeah.
- I think I got him.

Surveillance cam caught him
fleeing the restaurant

not long after the shooting
started.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's our shooter number one.

Pause it--that's a gun.
We have enough for facial rec?

- We don't have
a clear enough angle.

- Yeah,
what about our accomplice?

- No sign of him,
still looking.

- I think I've seen that guy.

People have been sending in
photos and videos

they took in the area around
the time of the shooting.

I've been going through it.
Yeah, here it is.

Same guy's in the background
of this selfie.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- According to the metadata,
this picture was taken

90 seconds
after the shooting.

- Okay, good.
What's the address?

- The Hotel Duncan, a block
away from the crime scene.

[indistinct chatter]

- Okay, let's split up.

Maybe someone saw the shooter
come through here.

- All right, Tiff and I will
show his photo to reception,

- I'm not the bad guy here.
- Okay, seven people were shot.

- Four are dead,
so I'm curious.

What would it take for you
to consider yourself a bad guy?

- I didn't hurt
any of those people.

I was trying to help them,
to save them.

- So you're a good guy
with a gun,

just trying to be a hero?

- I saw a guy killing people,
and so I drew down on him.

I took a shot.
I tried to help.

- Then why'd you run?

- I don't have a permit
to carry in New York,

and I can't catch a felony
right now.

Look, I'm in town
for a job interview,

which I'm missing as we speak,
by the way.

I went to lunch.

I saw a shady guy pull a gun,

and yeah, of course
I drew my weapon.

What am I supposed to do?
Just sit there and not help?

- So let me get this straight.

You fired your weapon inside
of a crowded restaurant

to help people?

- Yeah, and I had a clean shot,
too,

until that idiot grabbed my arm
and threw off my aim.

Then the real shooter saw me
and fired back.

And I got out of there fast.

♪

- Let's say we did believe you.

What did the other shooter
look like?

- He was all covered up.

He had a dark knit cap,
a bandana, and aviator shades.

All I can tell you
is he was a tall white guy.

- Okay, so Grimes' story
checks out.

He was in town
for a job interview

with Bracken Security, and
his gun is legally registered

in Arkansas.

- Yeah, makes sense.

ERT found different types
of shell casings.

Two were from a 9-millimeter,
match his weapon.

All the others were
from a .40-cal fired

from the back of the restaurant
from a different gun.

- Which means we're only
looking for the one suspect--

the guy with the knit hat,
bandana,

and aviator sunglasses.

- Right, oh, and we caught
a video of the guy

near the subway
at 110th Street,

but facial rec was a bust.

- Let's release his photo
to the media,

see if anybody recognizes him.

- Hey, there's a birthday cake,
still has candles in it.

Maybe someone was taking
pictures.

- And the camera might have
captured an image

of the gunman.

Good idea.
We'll check it out.

- Hey, Elise.

Did you come across
any birthday photos

from the restaurant?

- Birthday photos?
- Yeah.

- Um...

no.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah, fine.
I'm just a little...

This case, four dead,
and that young mother,

she's in critical condition.
- Yeah.

Yeah, it's awful.

- Hey, guys.
Maggie, we got something.

- Guess the restaurant
gave Scola and Tiffany

the name of the woman
celebrating her birthday.

Turns out her sister
had her camera phone out

when the shooting started,
and she was recording video.

They just sent it over.
Kelly?

- Yep.

a victim named Frank?

as one of the deceased.

52-year-old
African American male.

- How many times
was Frank shot?

- Twice.

- And were any of the other
victims shot twice?

- No, just Olson, and according
to the ERT record,

he was seated at the back
of the restaurant.

- Where the shooting started.

- Right, so the shooter
knows Frank.

He shoots him first,
he shoots him twice,

and then our
"good guy with a gun" appears--

- The shooter returns fire,

killing three innocent
bystanders on his way out.

- So this wasn't a random hate
crime or a mass shooting.

This is more like an execution
gone sideways.

- Yeah, and our intended target
was Frank Olson.

♪

- Domoda was Frank's
favorite restaurant.

He grabs lunch there
all the time,

so when I heard
about the shooting...

I tried to call him, but it
went straight to voicemail.

I was hoping he'd dropped
his phone in the chaos,

but part of me knew.

- Sorry, Ms. Travers.

- I've been with Frank since
he founded Swain & Olson.

He was a good man.

- Can you think of anyone
who might

disagree with you on that?

- What do you mean?

I thought the shooting
was racially motivated.

That's what the news said.

- We have reason to believe
that Frank was targeted.

Have there been any arguments
or threats?

- Not that I'm aware of--

nothing serious, anyway.

Actually, there is a former
employee you should look at,

a junior associate who Frank
fired eight months ago.

He sued the firm
for wrongful termination,

claimed he was fired
for his political leanings.

Total nonsense.

The truth was he just wasn't
billing enough hours,

and he wasn't
a very good lawyer.

- And you think he's capable
of doing something like this?

- He was just always
a click off,

kind of guy you worry about.

- Okay,
could you be more specific?

- After the judge
tossed his suit,

he started showing up
at Frank's house

at all hours,

harassing him, making threats.

Frank got a restraining order.

Just ignored it.

- Okay, do you know the last
time that he confronted Frank?

- Two days ago.

Security guard caught him

A guard chased him off.

- Yeah, Jubal, our shooter just
took off in a gray Benz,

and he kidnapped a woman.

was Latina,

she was in her 30s, and
she was wearing a pink shirt

with a tan jacket.

OA's inside now
trying to get a name.

- What about the suspect's car?
Did anyone grab a plate?

- Jubal said the JOC
is searching

for street cams right now.

We got here just as the perp
was taking off.

- Oh, why didn't you
pursue him?

- We were on foot.
Car was around the corner.

We got off
at the wrong address,

half a block south,

so we ran over
when we heard the gunshots.

- But the good news is
that the security guard

saw the abduction.

The person that was kidnapped
works in the building.

Her name is Maria Muñoz.

- Maria Muñoz, divorced,
one kid, lives in Brooklyn,

has a computer science degree
from Fordham University,

is the founder
of a reputational website

called FraudStir.

- Oh, I know this site.

People post complaints
about unreliable contractors,

cheating spouses,
deadbeat dads.

Definitely don't want to be
in their hall of shame.

They get a ton of traffic.

- PD just found Maria's purse
two blocks

from the crime scene--
phone was inside.

- All right, well,
so much for tracking her down

via cell phone.
That's all right.

We just need another angle,
another path.

Is there any connection
between Maria

and our initial target,
Frank Olson?

- Not yet, as far as I can
tell, they've never met.

- Yeah, there's no post
by or about Olson

on Maria's website either.

- Keep digging.

Scour her emails, or texts,
or financial records.

Let's assume
this was not random.

Our shooter went into
this building for a reason.

He was looking for Maria,

but he wanted
to keep her alive.

Question is why.

- Frank Olson?

No, doesn't ring a bell, sorry.

I've been telling Maria
for weeks

that she should hire security.

- Wait, so you knew
she was in danger?

Had someone threatened her?

- Try everyone.

Maria built FraudStir
as a safe place

to call out the scumbags
of the world,

but she didn't think
to protect herself.

- Any of these scumbags
especially angry?

- Maria handled
all the hate mail.

Feel free to look
around her office.

- Thank you.

- Why'd you cover
for Elise back there?

- 'Cause she made a mistake.

No point in throwing her
under the bus.

- Street versus place
doesn't sound like a big deal,

but it cost us a few minutes.

She didn't screw up,
we might've been able

to prevent this abduction.

- You don't know that.

- Yeah, but still it's kind of
our duty to report it

up the chain to Jubal.

- Like I said,
she made a mistake.

Let's move on for now.

- Okay.

- Excuse me.

Do you know who Bob is?

Looks like he tried
to call Maria several times.

- Yeah, he's been on a rampage
trying to get us

to delete certain posts.

- What kinds of posts?

- A user claims
he's a pedophile,

posted some disturbing photos,

but this guy Bob says
it's all a lie,

demanded the posts
be taken down immediately.

- Did you remove them?
- No.

Maria refused.

Then he hit us with a bunch
of cease and desist letters,

then filed a legal complaint,
but the law's on our side.

Our users can post anything
they want,

and we're not responsible.

- That makes perfect sense.

[soft dramatic music]

- What's Bob's last name?

Bob Avery's an equity partner
at Swain & Olson.

He's been there
the last eight years.

He has a wife
and a teenage son.

- According to ATF records,

Avery bought a .40-cal
Smith & Wesson last month,

same caliber
as our murder weapon.

- And I checked
the DMV database.

Avery owns a gray Mercedes.

- Okay, it sounds like
we got our guy.

Let's add the plate
to the BOLO,

start checking traffic cams,

and let's get Avery's name
and picture

to every law enforcement agency
in the tristate area.

What about Avery's phone?

- Already tried pinging it,
no go.

- Okay, so what triggered
all of this?

It looks like these negative
posts have been up for a while,

so why now--why today?

- Because Frank Olson fired him
this morning at 8:45 a.m.

Just talked to human resources
at Swain & Olson.

- Because of the photos?

- Yes, the firm has been
investigating for months

but couldn't come up
with any hard evidence,

but clients have been
complaining.

A few have left the firm
altogether,

so Olson didn't have a choice.

He had to blow him out.

- Right, so Olson fires Avery.
Avery snaps.

He shoots Olson,
and then he grabs Maria Muñoz,

does not shoot her,
just abducts her, why?

- Because he wants something.

- Yeah, the name of the person
who posted those photos

on FraudStir.

- Guys, 911 operator said she's
got Maria Muñoz on the phone.

We've got her live

they put the bomb

Have you talked to anybody
in the Bureau about this?

Like your stress levels
and medication?

- No, no.

- I mean, you know you can
reach out to any EAP counselor.

- I know, but if I do,

they'll pull me from the JOC

and stick me
in some low-stress desk job.

- I understand that,

but I still think
it's important

that you address this properly.

- I appreciate your concern,
but I'm fine.

I've got this under control.

- Hey, Maggie.
Avery's wife just arrived.

- All right.
- I gotta get back.

[clears throat]

- Yeah.

Yeah, she just stepped out,
needed a drink.

I know this is a lot to process
right now,

but we really need your help.

- Ma'am, the photos posted
to FraudStir are fake.

- So my whole life--
Bob's whole life was destroyed

for no reason
based on a bunch of lies?

- It looks that way.

- I cannot imagine
what you've just been through,

but right now we have got
to find your husband

before he kills someone else.

We think that Bob is trying
to track down the person

who he believes accused him
of being a pedophile.

- So do you know anyone
who might have a grudge

against your husband?
- No.

- Someone who thinks
that Bob screwed them over?

- No, no,
before all this craziness,

Bob was a kind
and decent person.

People loved him.

Then these posts appeared,
and...

he promised me
that they were fake,

that it was some insane plan
to destroy his reputation,

and I wanted to believe him.

God, I really did,

but the longer those photos
stayed up,

the more people believed
they were true, and...

myself included.

- Okay.

[soft music]

Before all of this started,

was there anything else
going on in your lives--

anything unusual?

- Uh...

about a week or so before
the posts started appearing,

the cops came to our house
one night,

said a concerned neighbor
called 911

and accused Bob
of domestic violence,

which of course wasn't true.

I thought it was
a teenage prank at the time.

- Okay.

We'll look into it.

- Tell me we got something
from that bogus 911 call.

- Came from a payphone.
- Really?

Can't be too many
of those still around.

- More than you think,

but this one here
is two blocks away

from Neil Jacobs' apartment.

- Wait, our disgruntled
lawyer friend?

- Jubal, I've been reading
his HR file.

Neil filed a lot of complaints,

mentioned Bob Avery
in several of them,

saying that he got
preferential treatment

from senior partners,
he got access

to high-profile clients
and transactions.

Bottom line: Neil was jealous
of this guy's success.

- Well, sure,
Avery's career was taking off.

Neil's was going sideways,
or backwards.

- I think Avery making partner
was the straw

that broke his back--look.

First defamatory post
appears on FraudStir

the day after
Avery made partner.

I mean,
it could be a coincidence--

- Ah, ah, ah!

- But you don't believe
in coincidences.

- I most definitely do not.

Let's track down
this Neil Jacobs fast.
