- Get the hell out of here!

[groans]

- Drove a car through the front
window, smashed the glass case,

grabbed as many weapons
as they could,

got back in their car,
and got the hell out of there.

And this poor bastard
got in the way.

- Owner?
- Owner's brother.

Guy named Ted Whitman.

Works here part-time.

- Not anymore.
- Damn.

- Looks like he got hit
with something pretty hard.

Bat, tire iron,
that sort of thing.

- You contact the owner?

- He's waiting for you outside.

[suspenseful music]

- Mr. Whitman,
we're very sorry for your loss.

- I, uh,

I don't know what to say.

I can't believe
this actually happened.

- Your brother
was working alone?

- Teddy was working nights
trying to make some money.

He was a chef too.

He was hoping to open up
a restaurant someday.

- Anything unusual going on?

Any threats, or either
one of you owe anyone money?

- No, nothing like that.

Everything's been going
really good until tonight.

- Well, look, if you think of
anything else, give us a call.

And in the meantime,
we're gonna need a list

of all the items
that were stolen, okay?

Make, model, serial number.

- We're also gonna need
to access

your security system.

Again, we're very sorry
for your loss.

- We don't know much yet,
but we'll keep you in the loop.

- Please do.
The folks down in D.C.

get real nervous
when guns are stolen.

- Well, we got that in common.
Folks in New York do too.

- Um, I'm here
if you need me, Jubal.

Feel free to reach out.
- All right. Great.

Appreciate it.
- How's Isobel feeling?

- Ah, well, not great.

But she's tough.
She'll make it through.

- This damn COVID thing
is getting old.

- Ah, tell me about it.
Morning, folks.

So we're chasing a murder,

but we're also chasing
a cache of stolen weapons,

but the question
of the moment is "why"?

Why do they steal
these weapons?

Kelly, ready
with that video yet?

- Pulling it up as we speak.

- Guessing that's
the murder weapon.

ERT recovered the sledgehammer?

- No, they must have taken it
with them.

- Mm-hmm.
All right, let's do some math.

See if we can figure out
how tall the suspects are.

- Copy that.
- And we need to find

the owner of that car.
- It's a 1987 Blazer.

License plate is cold.

- Okay, I guess
we're gonna have to settle

for the owner of the car
whose plates were stolen.

- I had no idea
my plates were missing.

I haven't driven the car
in a few days.

You know, COVID and all.

- Does this security
camera work?

- Yes, we had it installed
a few months ago.

A neighbor down the road
had his house broken into,

so we upgraded
our whole system.

- Okay, that's great.
We're gonna need

to see the footage.
Is that okay?

- Of course.

♪

- Here are the two perps.

This is two nights ago,
around 7:00 p.m.

- Mm-hmm. All right.

Let's see if we can get
a good shot of this guy.

- Mm.
- Yeah, there you go.

- One of them
looks pretty young.

- He's a baby.

All right,
run it through facial rec.

- No hits.
- Yeah.

You know what? This logo
on the hoodie looks familiar.

Let's see if we can get
a better look at it.

Okay, there.

- Looks like a lion.

- No, that's a cougar.

It's a mascot for Chapman
Private School in Scarsdale.

My son goes there.

♪

- That's Clayton Hall.
He's a junior.

Why? Something happened to him?

- We think he might be involved
in a robbery-homicide.

- You don't seem as surprised
as one might expect.

- I'm not, unfortunately.

- And why is that?
- Clayton is--

he has issues.

- Okay. What kind of issues?

- The art teacher notified us
last week that his drawings,

his cartoons, were disturbing.

A lot of violent images.

- Okay. Is Clayton here now?

- Let me check.

No, he called in sick today.

Just stay away.

You understand me?

- Clayton, is that you?

- Yeah, it's me.

But I'm not coming out
no matter what you say.

- All right, that's fine.

But we're not gonna
go anywhere,

so it is probably best
that we come

to some sort of compromise.
- [sobbing] No compromises!

That's all people
want these days is compromises.

What the hell does
that even mean?

- You're right.

Clayton, you're right.
I'm sorry.

I misspoke.
I used the wrong word.

What I should have said is
that we are here to help you,

that we want to help you.

Okay, Clayton,
does that sound better?

- Yeah, that sounds good.

- Okay, thank you.

I just wanna make sure
that no one gets hurt.

Hid the other guns?

his accomplice fast.

Hey, look at this.

[foreboding music]

♪

I don't understand.
I mean, how do you--

how do you go from smiling
and laughing on the beach

to, I mean, all of this?

- Who the hell knows?

- I can't believe it.

Clay's been struggling,
but he's a good kid.

He just--
- We did everything we could.

We tried different doctors,
different medications.

- I can't imagine
what you're going through.

Do you have any idea who
your son was with last night

or the night before?

- No, we've been giving him
more independence,

so we try not to ask
a lot of questions.

It sounds really stupid now,
I get it,

but the psychiatrist
thought it might help, so--

- We understand.

Did Clay have a best friend?

Someone that he liked
to hang out with?

- He wasn't really close
to many kids.

None that we knew of.

- Only one he ever talked about
was Simon--Simon Branch.

- I haven't hung out with Clay
in a long time.

Two or three months.
- Why not?

- I don't know, he and I just--

it started to get weird.

Some of the things he would
talk about were pretty serious.

- I hate to tell you this,
Clay is dead.

He took his own life
about an hour ago.

But it is extremely important

that we understand
what Clay was up to.

- It's also important that we
know where you were last night.

- I was home
all night studying.

- And your parents
can verify this?

- Yeah, definitely.
- It's good to hear.

And just so you know, we're not
accusing you of anything.

You understand that, right?

Now, if you don't mind,

we need to know
what crazy things

Clay was talking about.

- About a month ago,

he said
that it would be pretty cool

to shoot up a school.

I said he was nuts
and that he needed

to talk to a shrink
or something.

I even called his parents,

and they were
pretty freaked out,

but they begged me not to say
anything to anyone else.

So I didn't.

- Who was Clay hanging out with
these past few months?

- Gamer dudes.

- You know their names?

- Yeah.

- Did you find anything
interesting in Clayton's SUV?

- Not really--we pulled three
different sets of prints

but ran them through IAFIS,
and no hits.

- Uh-huh, but Tiffany sent over
that list of gamers, right?

- Yep, we've got 11 names.

We're pulling as much info
as we can on every kid.

- Mm-kay, and we found
Perp One's height?

- Approximately 6'1".

- Okay, so let's use that
to narrow down the list.

And yes, let's dig into
these kids' social media posts.

See if we can't figure out
who Clayton's accomplice is.

Look for any veiled
or cryptic references

to a school shooting, yeah?
- We're all over it, boss.

Sir?

You got a second?

- Uh, sir?
What, are you gonna ask

for my daughter's hand
in marriage?

- No, I, uh--
- What's up?

- It's about the list.

I didn't wanna say anything
in front of everybody,

but there's a kid's name--
um, Tyler Kelton.

- Kelton?

- Yeah, I didn't--

it's your wife's
maiden name, right?

[suspenseful music]

- Yeah.

Right.

Right, okay, um...

well, thanks for the info.
I'll look into it.

- Sure.
- Okay, great.

- I can't believe Clay would
really do something like that.

- Yeah, I know, it's
a difficult thing to process.

But he was also involved
in something

pretty bad last night, Ty.

It was a robbery and a murder.

- What?

That's insane.

- Well, it was him
and another man or a student,

and they robbed a gun store.

Stole about 40 weapons,

including four
AR Assault Rifles,

and they killed an employee
in the process.

So were you friends
with Clayton?

- We hung out sometimes,
but he was pretty weird,

so I kept my distance.

- Do you know who else
he hung out with?

- You asking me to snitch?

- Well,
I'm trying to figure out

who was with him.

- I don't know, like I said,
I never really talked to Clay.

- Okay.
But you hung out in his crowd?

- His crowd?
What does that even mean?

- I don't know, Ty.
You tell me.

- There's nothing to tell.

I hang out
with some kids at school.

Sometimes, we play video games.

That doesn't make me
a bad person.

- Hey, no one's accusing you
of being a bad person.

I'm trying to figure out
if one of your friends

or acquaintances or whatever
is involved in this thing.

- I told you, I don't know.

- Look, until we figure
this thing out

and we catch
Clayton's accomplice,

you need to stay away
from those kids.

Every single one of them.

Hello? Do you hear me?
- Yes, fine.

- Okay.

I love you, buddy.

- Hey, what's going on?

- Was Tyler here last night?

- Here?
What are you talking about?

- Yeah, was he at the house
here with you?

- Yes. Why?

- You know that robbery
last night in Scarsdale?

- At the gun store?
- Yeah.

Well, one of the perps
went to Chapman.

- Are you serious?
That's crazy.

- Yeah, what's even crazier

is that Tyler
used to hang out with him.

Played video games
or something.

But I had no idea he was
hanging out

in some fringe gamer crowd

or using the surname Kelton
for that matter.

- I was going to tell you
about--

- Yeah, what's that about?

- He's...

he's been pretty negative
lately about you.

He said he'd feel better
using my last name.

It's just a phase.

- Oh.
Why didn't you tell me this?

- Because I didn't wanna get
into a whole thing, Jubal.

He's just having a hard time.

- I'm having a real hard time
understanding why

you didn't feel it necessary
to tell me this, you know?

- I say something pretty much
every time we talk.

Every single time,
but you just gloss over it.

He'll be fine.

All kids
go through an awkward stage.

Kids need to fail.
It builds character.

- I didn't--I didn't know
it was that bad.

- Well, it is.

Or it was.

Things have been better
the past month or so.

He said he'd made new friends.

Fringe gamers or not,
he's happier.

- No, that's good. I guess.

- Yeah.

- But until we find
this other perp,

who I'm guessing
goes to Chapman

and hangs out in this crowd,

he needs to stay away
from these kids.

I told him as much,
but if you could, you know,

just keep an eye on him.

- Of course.

- Okay, okay.

Bye.

- Listen up, I just spoke
to Agent Valentine,

and he's asked me to help out.

The good news is,
I'm up to speed on the facts,

so it's business as usual
minus Agent Valentine's

irrepressible wit and charm,
of course.

Okay, let's get going.

Where are we
on the list of friends?

Have we ID'ed anyone who fits
the physical description

of perp number one?
- Not yet, sir.

- No need for sirs.
What about social media posts?

Anything that mentions
the gun store robbery?

- Uh, no, sir. Sorry.

- Any references
to mass shooting events?

- Negative.

The social media posts
have been pretty tame.

Mostly about video games.

- Got something.

This kid, Zach O'Connor,

he's a really good match
for the body type of Perp One.

We just did some quick math,
looks like he's about 6'1",

and there's lots
of online interaction

with Clayton Hall too.

- Looks good to me.
Find his home address now.

- No, Zach isn't here. Why?
What is going on?

- Your son is a person
of interest

in a recent robbery-homicide.

- What? Zach?
No, there must be some mistake.

- You mind if we come inside
and take a look around?

- You have a warrant?
- No, sir. We don't.

But the truth is,
we are concerned

about a school shooting

or some other kind of mass
shooting.

Do you mind if we come inside
and take a look around?

- Yeah, okay.
Just do what you have to do.

- Looks like Zach is our guy.

- It's empty.

- How many of his guns
are missing?

- Uh...

Looks like one AR Assault Rifle

and two nine-millimeter
semi-automatic Glocks.

- And you think that Zach
has these guns with him now?

- Yes, which means
we need to find him,

so let's get him on the phone.
Call him now.

- We've been trying
to contact him

for the last 24 hours.

Please leave a message.
Thanks.

- Ian.
Hey, you ping Zach's phone yet?

- I tried.
Looks like it's been shut down

for over 24 hours.
- Okay.

- Do we know anything
about his plans?

Is he targeting
a specific person, place,

or is he just running around
with guns

for the sake of running around
with guns?

- Probably not that,
but we are short on specifics.

You finally get access
to these kids' text messages?

- Yeah, just came in.
- All right, great.

Start reading.
Elise, we need to start working

traffic and bus cams within
a mile radius to Chapman.

- Let's get boots
on the ground too.

I want four units canvassing
that area.

a text two days ago.

It says, "When this is over
and hundreds are dead,

the world will know our names.
We will be iconic."

evacuate Chapman right now.

Hi.

Agent Valentine.

To be clear, we have not found
any evidence

explicitly referencing Chapman.

But we do believe Zach O'Connor
is armed and dangerous

and planning some sort of
mass shooting event,

but it will not
take place here.

We have 40 agents
surrounding the school.

- Has anyone seen
Zach recently?

- He's been out of touch
for about 24 hours,

which means he's hiding out,

likely someplace
near the school

or his parents' house.

I know you've been counseling
him for the past few months.

Do you have any idea
where he might go?

Did he ever mention a hangout
or a hideout somewhere

he might go when he's
feeling anxious or depressed?

- No, sorry.

We just talked about
his emotions, his anxiety,

lack of confidence.

I thought he was doing better.

- Okay.
Who does he hang out with?

Who might he turn to when he's
feeling afraid or desperate?

- He was pretty aloof,

but he did start talking
about a student he just met,

said they were becoming
close friends.

- Great.
Okay, do you have a name?

- Yes, right here. Tyler.

I didn't mean that.

I'm just--I'm sc--I'm scared.

If Tyler is somehow
mixed up in this,

I know it's my fault.

It's because I wasn't
involved enough,

it's because I wasn't present,
and that is going to change.

I pro--I promise you.

I need to go now before--

call me
if you get a hold of him.

- I will.

- Where are we
on Tyler's phone?

Have you been able
to locate him?

- Yes, and we're
tracking his GPS now.

We're also tracking the phone
that just called him too.

Looks like he's heading west.

- We have a name?
- Jeremy Brosnihan.

He's the owner of the gun shop,
the guy who just got shot.

Zach must have grabbed
his phone

on the way out the door.

- We've been looking over
his social media accounts.

He posts a lot about a girl
named Grace Gilmore.

He seems pretty
obsessed with her.

In one of his posts, he says,

"You laughed
at the wrong dude."

I don't see any overt threats
or anything like that.

Just a hunch.
- Who is Grace Gilmore?

- She is a junior
at Westchester South,

about a mile
from Zach's current location.

- Okay. Call the school.
Have them evacuate right now.

- Copy.

[phone rings]

- Jubal, it's Reynolds.
We have eyes on Tyler's GPS.

He's heading east
on Chesterfield Road.

- Copy that. What about Zach?

- We're tracking his GPS too.

He's in the same vicinity
as Tyler.

We have agents
in pursuit right now.

- All right, stay with me.
Let me know where Tyler is.

- He's just gone stationary.

Corner of Chesterfield
and Tompkins Road.

- Okay, copy that.

He has several hostages.
Send SWAT right away.

Whoa, whoa, we wait for SWAT.

Let's let these people go,

He's a good kid.
He cares about you very much.

He told me that
he appreciates your friendship.

You protect him

Is that true?

Well, I wanna thank you.

I'm grateful to you

That's who you are.

Man, you're a protector.

You care about people.
You're not a killer.

So please,
let's put the gun down, okay?

Please put the gun down.

- I want a plane.
And I want a car.

An SUV, a black Escalade.
So go!

Get out of here, or I'll
start shooting, I swear to God!

- Zach, please. Please.

What you're asking for,

a plane, an SUV, that's--
it's a bad idea,

okay?

Because the second you walk
out this door,

you are in danger.

The agents out there,

they do not care about you.

They do not wanna help you.

They don't know
that you are a good kid,

that you're a protector.

I'm telling you,
I am your best move.

So please, put the gun down.
