Ex-Factor
Finally, what job did Mr.
Burke hired you to perform? Money laundring.
Why would Mr.
Burke need you to perform this service on his behalf.
He didn't want anyone to know he had that money in the pockets in the first place.
And when did you become aware that the actions you we're being asked to perform, we're illegal? On 12 august 2006.
I've discovered I was executing banking transactions for entities that did not exist.
This included our taking deposits from Mr.
Burke's clients, and transferring them into shell companies.
where bank ranches are operating without a license.
Why didn't you bring this matter to the attention of Mr.
Burke, when you discovered it? Well, for one he didn't know that I existed, Morris Burke doesn't really associate with grunts like me.
Have you ever seen one of these before? See what? *** witness.
Twice.
Undercover agents.
Yeah, well this accountant is about to blow the whistle on the head banker for west-coast organized crime.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
You look good.
But you can meet me for a coffee goodbye, but you show up at my trial.
I had a thing at City Hall.
I was in the area.
Where are you going? You owe me a bottle of '98 Sforzado .
Is that why you called me? No.
I called you because I was in town and I wanted to talk to you.
I didn't like the way we left things.
Well, that makes to of us.
If you didn't wanna talk to me then why are you here? I came here to see you.
I just haven't decided if I wanna talk to you.
And now? And now I've seen you.
Government's key witness, a former accountant who was eledged to have laundred up to 50 million dollars a month.
Officials say that, Burke controlled a vast financial empire.
who tend to call stretch from Switzerland to the Grand Cayman Island to right here in They're here.
Someone is still hurt.
I'm so proud of you.
Proud? Did Burke say anything? Get them over there.
You ordered pizza on the way back? No.
With vedge and mashup.
What address do you have? Is something wrong? No.
What do you mean? You're in my seat.
No.
You seat there.
I seat there in the blue chair, and you are in the blue chair.
Custodio must of switched them I didn't notice.
It's alright.
This isn't gonna work.
Are you serious? I seat in the blue chair you seat in the red chair.
That's how we do it.
Why can I seat in the blue chair? Because blue is for boys and red is practically pink.
Red is a primary color.
It's an aggressive male color.
You should be happy to have red.
Besides my seat is worm, so suck it up.
- Suck it up? - Yes.
- Suck it up I got blue.
My fate is disturbing Cheryl.
This is the reason she submission the tape.
You got the address? Get moving.
You guys know the Burke case? -Yeah.
- No.
It's money laundring.
It's sort of this week.
White curly cream makes me sleepy.
You be happy to know it's a kidnapping.
Confidential informants have just been abducted.
I thought we put our CI in the safehouses.
Safehouse has been compromised.
Two bureau agents are dead.
Kidnappers want 2 million dollars for the return of the government star witness.
Dennis Ryker.
They trying to ransom the federal government? Didn't that witness already testify? Yes.
So what's the value? And there you have a statement.
The statement is worthless.
The defense hasn't had a chance to cross examine it.
His entire testimony can be rendered in ******as evidence.
What are you doing here? Welton called me right before, he called you.
Burke is my case, and Ryker is my witness.
This thing is way beyond you garden variety kidnapping random.
And D.
C.
wants me on this oversight.
Hi, Sam.
What exactly does oversight mean? It means you'll be seeing more of me after all.
Will you two excuse us? - Sure.
- Yeah.
Not necessary.
I was just leaving to go to the safehouse.
But I want CID dispatched at scene and HRT team Already done, on my orders.
It's how we proceed from here? We'll see.
Grab your Keyger.
Meet me at the scene.
What was that? That was the reason Cheryl doesn't want us to date.
STANDOFF 01x16 Ex-Factor Who ever he is he had military training.
How do you know? Didn't teach you to kill with a pistol like this on the streets.
Unless there was a dominate from the door Out in the 3 seconds spec op hit.
And I can say witch military, but is military.
It's good to see you again.
We should listen to these circumstances.
Yeah, me too.
- Anything? - Yeah.
We sent a picture of the phone you left behind to Lia.
She seems to think it's on a peer-2-peer system.
It can only work with a specific phone, and only receives calls.
Fragment on the piece of box has to expect one sample.
How soon? Didn't say.
CID also found some hard medicine in the bathroom.
Procor and Lepityn.
Did Ryker had a condition? My guess it's a vascular disease, but if this kidnapper pushes to high we could have a hard-attack on our hands - We were so careful.
- Maybe someone followed from the courthouse.
No.
No way.
We run through 5 handoffs.
- Tale cars? - Yes, two.
And we even improvise random security checkpoints.
No one knew this route except from Trager and Kowalsky.
You know.
Yeah, I know.
Let's sweep for bugs inside and out.
Right away.
Now assuming that this ST is a male I'm thinking that Lehman should be primary.
Actually I like to leave the choice of primary to my negotiators.
Or we defer to our boss.
For the duration of this op I'm your boss.
Maybe you should change your policy on that choice thing.
We'll talk about that outside.
I'll get back to you.
Why does everything always has to be a cage fight with you.
You know, back in the day they were the hot couple.
Couldn't get mutual around for the money.
Did I say now is the time for gossip.
How long were they together.
Three years.
'Til the job broke them up.
- The job.
- Yeah.
Bureau has no official say on boys hooking up with girls as you know.
- Cheryl got off with a promotion.
- Superiors can fraternize with the subordinates.
So Sam gets an ultimatum.
Male or the gate.
She took the gate.
Don't listen to him he doesn't know what he's talking about.
- Then why don't you fill me in? - Because it's not our business.
- Don't you get what happend here? - Yeah, your secret safehouse isn't safe anymore.
- Cheryl, it means.
- It means your team has a leak.
My team.
My responsibility.
And if I'm gonna flush it out I need to be in charge.
And that's exactly why you shouldn't be in charge.
M'am? We got a car meading your digital GPS signal.
That's my car.
- All the vehicles have GPS.
- We had our signal.
This one has an extra signature.
Compact, short battery bar.
Put there recently.
Son of a bitch! He used me.
Let's find out how it went.
This is taken by a security camera in the courthouse parking lot a day before yesterday.
I was back and forth to the safehouse a lot that day.
I was helping Denis get ready for his testimony.
Unbelievable.
Might as well have given them the key.
- Call is coming in! - It's a little more than a call.
I'm getting a broadband signal.
That's our pizza guy.
- Hello, this is Andres Primeber? - Who is this? This is Matt Flannery with the FBI.
Hello, Matt Flannery with the FBI.
I'm here with Mr.
and Mrs.
Star witness.
You can have them back for two million.
I get garlic *** sos with that? What you think Dennis Loraine isn't good enough for their own? How do I know I am paying for? - Can they see us? - No.
It's one way.
and it's untraceable.
What a minute? What's that? On the table.
- Is he planning and interrogation? - No, torture.
He's telling us he would do whatever it takes to the Rikers.
Yeah, if it gets to his heart condition he might not take much - Try to keep him here.
- Ok.
We see you being in business But I gotta tell you that 2 million dollars it's gonna be pretty tough to get with the federal government here.
I can't get uncle Sam to pay for my car repairment plus is that hole we don't negotiate with the terrorists thing.
Talk to your superiors about the KR29 fund.
What? Uncle Sam's pockets are deeper than you think.
It's a slush fund.
KR as in Kidnapping and ransom.
But it's really not this stakes are.
They were those DOD contractors in Iraq, who were not beheaded but were suddenly released.
There was a rumour that somebody payed.
Somebody did.
So if Andre knows about this, chances are he is government also.
But government what? I think we're skipping the obvious here.
Norris Burke probably has a lot of government contacts.
Burke wouldn't kidnapped Riker.
He would just have him killed.
- He has no motive for this.
- That we know of, so maybe we should bring him in and swat him.
No.
No, or let's discuss it? If we brace Burke in the middle of this trial without probable cause, his team sues for harassment.
So, let them.
- Alright guys - And give them ammo, to call a mistrial or bury us on Think about the appeal if you can't finish the trial.
Why don't you let me decide what we get to and how.
Lia is got something.
I got a trace on the HT.
When you mention that Dennis had a heart condition, I got the idea to check his medical files.
He's got a peacemaker.
And you can trace that? Not exactly but sort of, yeah.
The patient has been outfitted with a cardiac event monitor.
- What the hell is that? - A peacemaker with a built-in transmitter.
Records heart rate and other vitals and then send them to the cardiologist.
Sounds like a cellphone.
- Complete with tower-heads.
- And the latest transmition.
- That's the general area.
- What's around there? That's suburbia as far as the eye can see.
From the echo must be a really big space.
Yeah, if he is really gonna follow through with torture it will have to be somewhere where no one can hear the screams.
Right.
What's this? Brightwater Mall.
It's been closed for two years.
- She's tracking the peacemaker.
- She's good.
All I said she was good.
Here's the trick to park, could be in anyone of the stores.
A need another manpower to cover the other exit.
We wait for the next call.
Put them on with the negotiator, start agreeing with his terms - We'll be on him while is distracted - No.
Next call is two hours away.
I've got a hostage with a bad thicker in there, the faster we get him out the better.
Move in now.
Go stealth store to store, cover and clear.
- It's a mistake.
- It will be my mistake.
Go.
We gonna sweep from the south end.
First doors all clear.
Copy that.
Bravo, what's your status? Just hitting the second floor.
South end.
Freeze! Drop your weapons! Help! Help us! Don't move! Andre, give it up! You got no way out of here.
Hold your fire, there's a hostage inside.
Subject is traveling in a light blue station wagon.
- Duff, what do you see? - Suspect heading north to highway.
*********** Notify CHB.
Mrs.
Ryker is secure.
- What about Ryker? - No, we didn't get him.
Alright, you're safe now.
Sam? Oh my god! What's happening? Where is Dennis? Mrs.
Ryker.
I'll promise you we will get him back.
He's sick.
I don't now if he could survive this.
That's why we need your help.
Is there anything at all you could tell us about this men.
Did you get a look at him? Only when he came in the house, But it's a blurry head and he had sunglasses.
Is there anything memorable about him? - No.
- You weren't close enough to see.
Wait his hand.
His rist, he had a scare all the way around.
Did he say anything about where he was taking you.
You didn't talk to anybody on the phone? Yes A couple of times.
Did you catch a name? Yes.
Burke.
Why don't you come with me? If he's talking with Burke, we should bring him in.
We're not bringing anybody anywhere.
We wouldn't be having this conversation if we ran this the way I wanted to.
What? Looks like he set up for water boarding, electroshock.
Greatest hits from Guantanamo.
And there is that scare around his rist.
Probably from he was in the cuffs himself.
So he has experience from the both sides of an interrogation.
- You're thinking covert operative? - I don't know.
He certainly carries himself like one.
I'm thinking CIA, but he could be DIA, DSS, military intelligence.
Cheryl, you did the right thing.
- Yeah.
- If we did this thing that Sam wanted, it would of gone down way worse.
Try giving Sam that.
You don't have to.
You remember when you and Matt sent me down to tell me that the two of you - Yeah.
You think I was hard on you? You were diplomatic.
What I didn't tell you, was that as hard it is to manage a relationship inside this job is that much harder to manage a break-up.
So what do you mean when you said I was full of crap about Sam and Cheryl? - Just leave it alone, Frank.
- No, I don't wanna leave it alone.
I don't get it.
Weaver has always been cool with me.
What happened between you two? - Between me and Weaver? - Nothing.
- Something.
Here he is.
You even know you're doing this be the way? Better yet to Cheryl.
Well, too late now.
Mister Burke.
Paranoia did I know it.
My lawyer doesn't want me to talk to you, much less having face time.
I'm honored.
I'll be absolutely clear.
I had no involvement in this kidnapping whatsoever.
I heard that form didn't you? Don't you realize that are other people who want this case thrown.
- Who? People who wash money for? Is that why we sitting be *** glass in the middle of the night.
My clients are very private people.
They don't like spotlights.
And this trial it's coped with thousands watts.
Witch makes me just as much a target as Dennis Ryker.
So what better way to earn their trust then by taking him out.
No doubt, who ever is behind this is.
.
an opportunist.
While I don't condemn what he's done.
.
You command his entrepreneurial spirit.
How did I do? Don't know exactly who we are dealing it.
Let's see how you ring so more bells.
So I'm calling in that favor.
Caucasian, scare on the rist.
What's this for exactly? An ongoing trial.
With a protected witness has just kidnapped.
So what makes you think the abducters is one of ours? He knew about the KA29 account.
OK.
I'm calling you, Scott, cause I know you are not gonna give me the runaround.
I'll never give it to you.
This is CIA.
We invented the runaround.
But for you anything.
I'll see what I can do just give me 24 hours.
That's way more time then the kidnappers are giving us.
I'll get right into it.
That's got to be him.
Ok, pull his jacket, we might as well be sure.
Thick to it and found out if is anything that can come back to bites us in the ass.
He's back.
- This is Andre.
- Andre, it's Matt.
New price.
Double That's pretty bold.
Yeah, well you shouldn't come at me.
We can give him 4 million, I've only been authorized for 2.
That's the price.
We can meet the original price.
I want the new price.
No! Please, no! Matt, back story.
enough for government work.
You know all about government work don't cha? If you keep up the price you're gonna drag this out, That's gives a better chance to figure out who you are.
We gonna talk him down, he's gonna kill him.
Matt, get torture out of the equation.
As soon as you leave Dennis alone we're start talking where to meet halfway.
Tell him how much money you move in one day.
- Tell him - Millions.
- Tell him exactly - I don't know.
Tens of millions.
And you guys are gonna confiscate all of it.
No pun.
- Matt, ATM.
- What are they talking about? - Just let them do their work.
- I wanna know what they promised.
- Get him out of here.
- It's not her call.
Andre, here's the deal.
I just got the film up for 4 million.
but I got to make a trip to the ATM to free up some other budgets.
I want 5 million now cause you make me ask you three times.
Two million is our best offer, now you tell him right now.
Yeah, we could do 5 million.
We got access to the KR29 fund but it's gonna take me some time.
- How much? - I need six hours.
- You got 4.
- No.
This is the federal government, I can't get any pencil on this unless it's three.
Three hours.
And if you come at me again, I stop fishing and cut bait.
Do you understand? From now on you do not talk to me - You disobeyed a direct order.
- What are we in the navy? That's enough.
Can I talk to you for a second? What is going on with you? - With me? - Yes.
What's going on with me? Look, this guy it's gonna do what it's gonna do.
He has a problem with Cheryl.
He's pissed of her for whatever she did to him, but she is a big girl and she can handle herself.
Where were you when she did to him.
She didn't do anything to him.
She dumped him and he's not over it.
No she didn't dumped him she proposed to him.
What? When she got promoted she knew she couldn't see him anymore, Because the Bureau kind of founds on that.
Unless a - you're in different sections and b - - you're married So what, he turned her down? Yeah, he couldn't handle that, she outranked him.
Why do you think he walks all over every chance he gets.
Witch is fine, the guy is a toolbox, splitting up is the best thing that ever happened to her.
So what's the problem? I think she still got a thing for him.
I know we got a history but you are way over the line Sam.
What do you want from me? Every time I turn around somebody is dropping the ball.
We are trying to do our jobs.
Stop making it harder then it already is.
I have to.
If things get worse I'm done.
You're done? Why aren't you overstating just a little.
DC haven't been as great as everyone thinks.
Last time they had a chance to bump me up last two times, They just skipped right over me.
Of course.
So it's all writing on this.
- Your whole carrier.
- No just my carrier.
I called you down this morning because.
.
I wanted I guess I wanted to showoff a little.
I wanted you to know that i done good, that I survived without you.
I never doubted did you would.
I hope and wonder that if it's worth it.
- When I look back now - No.
Was that a cuban thing? My papi favorite saying.
Look ahead, don't look back.
I will try.
Every time I look you're not there.
And you took that bottle of wine with you.
Yeah We need to stay on task here.
Right.
This kidnapper it's not gonna go in for a long negotiation.
No.
So maybe if can get him into a handoff we can grab him.
And then we can get Riker back.
I'll talk to D.
C.
See if I can get us close to 5 mil.
It's not gonna be easy.
Good thing, never is.
Flannery.
You were right.
- About Burke? - About Sam.
I'm telling you, Sam it's dirty.
The GPS thing it's misdirect.
He gave off the safehouse.
I bet he tipped off Andre at the mall, he's probably even paying.
Where are you going? - To Cheryl.
- No.
- We have to tell her.
- Let's arrest him first, we'll find out what he knows.
Matt, if I was cheating on you wouldn't you wanna know about it? Alright.
Frank didn't hear the conversation, and it was pretty clock and dagger.
There's trouble written all over it.
Still, it's pretty obvious.
- This is - Cheryl Why are you talking to Burke? - What? - You heard me.
What makes you think I'm talking to Burke? Just answer the question.
- I'm not answering anything.
- Yes, you are.
Alright.
You got me.
I've been meeting with Norris Burke in secret.
In fact we been meeting since before the trial.
And no matter what I promise he still won't flip.
You're offering him **** No, the US attorney's office is doing that.
They want him to give up the identities of his clients.
Bigger fish.
And I'm negotiating the deal.
And it's not what you necotiate out in the open.
I can't believe you had me followed.
She didn't.
Son of a bitch.
- You realize - He didn't know.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Matt had Burke followed.
You don't have to defend me.
Why don't you guys just box and get it over it.
What is with you? Did I do something to you? - Did I heart your feelings? - Not my feelings.
The guy always had it against me.
He knows, Sam.
About the proposal.
He was my partner.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, but it's ok.
You should have told me about Burke.
I'm sorry.
He calls in an hour.
A hour it's long time.
And you never do anything halfway.
You just keep me posted.
No.
No.
That's all I got for now.
I'm sorry, it was hard to tell exactly how he looked like.
No, It,s OK.
We understand.
Andre, kept saying that the government was make him rich.
Will you pay to save my husband life? We will.
If it comes to that.
In fact, we just got authorized for more money, Thank God.
- I have to step up for a second.
- OK.
Could've been a good shot.
What do you say, you wanna make two out of three? No time.
And you know I hate this game.
It's because it requires sadulty nad fineness.
Not exactly in the FBI's wheel house.
Fineness? Like water pouring.
His name is Jared Kendall.
- He's not a company man exactly, he's more like a - Contractor.
Right.
Did some antena-work for us mostly out in Iraq.
Interrogations, reconnaissance but his specialty was working with kidnapping in the gray zone.
Kidnapping.
That explains a lot.
Actually this guy is a hero.
Save a bunch of americans from betting.
Or worse.
How long do you know this was him? We figured it out after we hung up.
We had to confirm it.
If you're fine we want you to, isolate us.
Call him a government contractor, not CIA.
Langley will admissible to that.
I'll bet that they would be.
- What's in it for us? - More then you think.
Just remember I gave you this first and not your upper ops.
Br careful Scott, don't hurt yourself.
Kendell didn't work alone in Iraq.
Some bureau people did duty chors with him.
One guy come out from D.
C.
and we think he is assigned to this Burke case right now.
You know this guy? Hei, we were just talking about you.
Son of a bitch.
You're working with him.
You gonna tell us everything.
Tell us where Kendall is? - Where is he?! - Cheryl.
Where? I don't know.
You're partners.
How could you not know where he is? I want immunity.
I'm sorry? What did you say? Don't worry we'll get the location on Kendall.
You really don't know where Kendall is do you? Kendall is a spook.
He's keeping his location to himself.
Are you even equal partners? I'll hope you'll splitting that 5 mil 50-50.
Son of a bitch.
Is 5 million even the final price? What? This was never a bought extorted money from the Feds was it? I want immunity.
Right.
This is Sam Weaver we're talking about here.
He never does anything halfway.
You were meeting with Burke all this time.
Yeah, except not to flip him, he wanted to sell him ahead.
You had Burke betting against us.
He's a money laundrer, he pays more than we do.
Plus that they they don't have, to trade Ryker to the Feds, they just dump his body in a ditch and spit the money.
Is that how it was? I want immunity.
- Yeah.
- I'll settle with Burke.
Paid in full? Paid up.
Alright.
Nice to have the government dropping up the price.
Hell yeah.
What about that flame of yours? Did you two hook up? I'm working on it.
But,.
.
it doesn't look good.
Who cares, you got 3 million to make you fell better.
I heard that.
- You are ready to do this? - Yes.
Mister Burke.
It's a done deal.
Let's meet at the bridge.
- Where is he? - Police! Hands in the air! I got this! It's OK.
I wanna know one thing? The shopping Mall? I warn him you are coming that how he got away.
It's not what I was gonna ask.
Even if you had pulled this off Ryker would have to die.
So kidnapping ransom thing had to fail and that it would have fallen on me.
What do you think I was trying to take over? Cause I didn't want this to hurt your carrier.
Just mine, cause I now I was getting paid.
What the hell happened to you? Sam it's moving in so are we.
Bravo, take your positions.
Just one doufle.
You got Ryker and Kendall.
Copy that Frank? - Affirmative.
- LSA team take your positions.
Stand by.
Big bag.
All of it? Tell him it's just his part.
It's your part.
- My half you mean.
- You wanna talk about a new split.
I wanna discuss a new split.
Loose the gun, Weaver? If I had one.
No, not a chance.
Tell him to forget it.
Forget it.
Jared Kendall, you're under arrest.
Drop your weapon! Let me go or he dies.
Come on, we really gonna play this? We're doing all day long with bank robbers and ice heads that's not you.
Do you need to shot? - Negative.
Hostage would be compromised.
Jared, you are a businessman, your deal fell through that's all.
Plain and simple.
It's right.
It's over.
If you believe man.
This was just business.
Come on.
It's alright.
It's OK.
Just hang on.
That.
.
you hang on.
OK? Sam? Thanks for coming.
What, are kiddin'? You were supposed to pick this up the day that he left.
It's been sitting in my desk all this years.
I was gonna surprise him, with it after he'd won the trial.
Sforzado made in Northern Italy just at the edge of Swiss Alps.
The grapes are dried on wooden racks, for five months before their pressed.
Intensifies the sugar and the flavor.
I don't know, as long as this stuff comes out of the box.
But that's pretty good too.
You had this thing in the desk the whole time? Well, he left it.
It's his loss.
Some people don't know a good thing when they got it.
I'll try to remember that.
Burke hired you to perform? Money laundring.
Why would Mr.
Burke need you to perform this service on his behalf.
He didn't want anyone to know he had that money in the pockets in the first place.
And when did you become aware that the actions you we're being asked to perform, we're illegal? On 12 august 2006.

Burke, when you discovered it? Well, for one he didn't know that I existed, Morris Burke doesn't really associate with grunts like me.
Have you ever seen one of these before? See what? *** witness.
Twice.
Undercover agents.
Yeah, well this accountant is about to blow the whistle on the head banker for west-coast organized crime.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
You look good.
But you can meet me for a coffee goodbye, but you show up at my trial.
I had a thing at City Hall.
I was in the area.
Where are you going? You owe me a bottle of '98 Sforzado .
Is that why you called me? No.
I called you because I was in town and I wanted to talk to you.
I didn't like the way we left things.
Well, that makes to of us.
If you didn't wanna talk to me then why are you here? I came here to see you.
I just haven't decided if I wanna talk to you.
And now? And now I've seen you.
Government's key witness, a former accountant who was eledged to have laundred up to 50 million dollars a month.
Officials say that, Burke controlled a vast financial empire.

No.
You seat there.
I seat there in the blue chair, and you are in the blue chair.
Custodio must of switched them I didn't notice.
It's alright.
This isn't gonna work.
Are you serious? I seat in the blue chair you seat in the red chair.
That's how we do it.
Why can I seat in the blue chair? Because blue is for boys and red is practically pink.
Red is a primary color.
It's an aggressive male color.
You should be happy to have red.
Besides my seat is worm, so suck it up.
- Suck it up? - Yes.
- Suck it up I got blue.
My fate is disturbing Cheryl.
This is the reason she submission the tape.
You got the address? Get moving.
You guys know the Burke case? -Yeah.
- No.
It's money laundring.
It's sort of this week.
White curly cream makes me sleepy.
You be happy to know it's a kidnapping.
Confidential informants have just been abducted.
I thought we put our CI in the safehouses.
Safehouse has been compromised.
Two bureau agents are dead.
Kidnappers want 2 million dollars for the return of the government star witness.
Dennis Ryker.
They trying to ransom the federal government? Didn't that witness already testify? Yes.
So what's the value? And there you have a statement.
The statement is worthless.
The defense hasn't had a chance to cross examine it.
His entire testimony can be rendered in ******as evidence.
What are you doing here? Welton called me right before, he called you.
Burke is my case, and Ryker is my witness.
This thing is way beyond you garden variety kidnapping random.
And D.
C.
wants me on this oversight.
Hi, Sam.
What exactly does oversight mean? It means you'll be seeing more of me after all.
Will you two excuse us? - Sure.
- Yeah.
Not necessary.
I was just leaving to go to the safehouse.
But I want CID dispatched at scene and HRT team Already done, on my orders.
It's how we proceed from here? We'll see.
Grab your Keyger.
Meet me at the scene.
What was that? That was the reason Cheryl doesn't want us to date.
STANDOFF 01x16 Ex-Factor Who ever he is he had military training.
How do you know? Didn't teach you to kill with a pistol like this on the streets.
Unless there was a dominate from the door Out in the 3 seconds spec op hit.
And I can say witch military, but is military.
It's good to see you again.
We should listen to these circumstances.
Yeah, me too.
- Anything? - Yeah.
We sent a picture of the phone you left behind to Lia.
She seems to think it's on a peer-2-peer system.
It can only work with a specific phone, and only receives calls.
Fragment on the piece of box has to expect one sample.
How soon? Didn't say.
CID also found some hard medicine in the bathroom.
Procor and Lepityn.
Did Ryker had a condition? My guess it's a vascular disease, but if this kidnapper pushes to high we could have a hard-attack on our hands - We were so careful.
- Maybe someone followed from the courthouse.
No.
No way.
We run through 5 handoffs.
- Tale cars? - Yes, two.
And we even improvise random security checkpoints.
No one knew this route except from Trager and Kowalsky.
You know.
Yeah, I know.
Let's sweep for bugs inside and out.
Right away.
Now assuming that this ST is a male I'm thinking that Lehman should be primary.
Actually I like to leave the choice of primary to my negotiators.
Or we defer to our boss.
For the duration of this op I'm your boss.
Maybe you should change your policy on that choice thing.
We'll talk about that outside.
I'll get back to you.
Why does everything always has to be a cage fight with you.
You know, back in the day they were the hot couple.
Couldn't get mutual around for the money.
Did I say now is the time for gossip.
How long were they together.
Three years.
'Til the job broke them up.
- The job.
- Yeah.
Bureau has no official say on boys hooking up with girls as you know.
- Cheryl got off with a promotion.
- Superiors can fraternize with the subordinates.
So Sam gets an ultimatum.
Male or the gate.
She took the gate.
Don't listen to him he doesn't know what he's talking about.
- Then why don't you fill me in? - Because it's not our business.
- Don't you get what happend here? - Yeah, your secret safehouse isn't safe anymore.
- Cheryl, it means.
- It means your team has a leak.
My team.
My responsibility.
And if I'm gonna flush it out I need to be in charge.
And that's exactly why you shouldn't be in charge.
M'am? We got a car meading your digital GPS signal.
That's my car.
- All the vehicles have GPS.
- We had our signal.
This one has an extra signature.
Compact, short battery bar.
Put there recently.
Son of a bitch! He used me.
Let's find out how it went.
This is taken by a security camera in the courthouse parking lot a day before yesterday.
I was back and forth to the safehouse a lot that day.
I was helping Denis get ready for his testimony.
Unbelievable.
Might as well have given them the key.
- Call is coming in! - It's a little more than a call.
I'm getting a broadband signal.
That's our pizza guy.
- Hello, this is Andres Primeber? - Who is this? This is Matt Flannery with the FBI.
Hello, Matt Flannery with the FBI.
I'm here with Mr.
and Mrs.
Star witness.
You can have them back for two million.
I get garlic *** sos with that? What you think Dennis Loraine isn't good enough for their own? How do I know I am paying for? - Can they see us? - No.
It's one way.
and it's untraceable.
What a minute? What's that? On the table.
- Is he planning and interrogation? - No, torture.
He's telling us he would do whatever it takes to the Rikers.
Yeah, if it gets to his heart condition he might not take much - Try to keep him here.
- Ok.
We see you being in business But I gotta tell you that 2 million dollars it's gonna be pretty tough to get with the federal government here.
I can't get uncle Sam to pay for my car repairment plus is that hole we don't negotiate with the terrorists thing.
Talk to your superiors about the KR29 fund.
What? Uncle Sam's pockets are deeper than you think.
It's a slush fund.
KR as in Kidnapping and ransom.
But it's really not this stakes are.
They were those DOD contractors in Iraq, who were not beheaded but were suddenly released.
There was a rumour that somebody payed.
Somebody did.
So if Andre knows about this, chances are he is government also.
But government what? I think we're skipping the obvious here.
Norris Burke probably has a lot of government contacts.
Burke wouldn't kidnapped Riker.
He would just have him killed.
- He has no motive for this.
- That we know of, so maybe we should bring him in and swat him.
No.
No, or let's discuss it? If we brace Burke in the middle of this trial without probable cause, his team sues for harassment.
So, let them.
- Alright guys - And give them ammo, to call a mistrial or bury us on Think about the appeal if you can't finish the trial.
Why don't you let me decide what we get to and how.
Lia is got something.
I got a trace on the HT.
When you mention that Dennis had a heart condition, I got the idea to check his medical files.
He's got a peacemaker.
And you can trace that? Not exactly but sort of, yeah.
The patient has been outfitted with a cardiac event monitor.
- What the hell is that? - A peacemaker with a built-in transmitter.
Records heart rate and other vitals and then send them to the cardiologist.
Sounds like a cellphone.
- Complete with tower-heads.
- And the latest transmition.
- That's the general area.
- What's around there? That's suburbia as far as the eye can see.
From the echo must be a really big space.
Yeah, if he is really gonna follow through with torture it will have to be somewhere where no one can hear the screams.
Right.
What's this? Brightwater Mall.
It's been closed for two years.
- She's tracking the peacemaker.
- She's good.
All I said she was good.
Here's the trick to park, could be in anyone of the stores.
A need another manpower to cover the other exit.
We wait for the next call.
Put them on with the negotiator, start agreeing with his terms - We'll be on him while is distracted - No.
Next call is two hours away.
I've got a hostage with a bad thicker in there, the faster we get him out the better.
Move in now.
Go stealth store to store, cover and clear.
- It's a mistake.
- It will be my mistake.
Go.
We gonna sweep from the south end.
First doors all clear.
Copy that.
Bravo, what's your status? Just hitting the second floor.
South end.
Freeze! Drop your weapons! Help! Help us! Don't move! Andre, give it up! You got no way out of here.
Hold your fire, there's a hostage inside.
Subject is traveling in a light blue station wagon.
- Duff, what do you see? - Suspect heading north to highway.
*********** Notify CHB.
Mrs.
Ryker is secure.
- What about Ryker? - No, we didn't get him.
Alright, you're safe now.
Sam? Oh my god! What's happening? Where is Dennis? Mrs.
Ryker.
I'll promise you we will get him back.
He's sick.
I don't now if he could survive this.
That's why we need your help.
Is there anything at all you could tell us about this men.
Did you get a look at him? Only when he came in the house, But it's a blurry head and he had sunglasses.
Is there anything memorable about him? - No.
- You weren't close enough to see.
Wait his hand.
His rist, he had a scare all the way around.
Did he say anything about where he was taking you.
You didn't talk to anybody on the phone? Yes A couple of times.
Did you catch a name? Yes.
Burke.
Why don't you come with me? If he's talking with Burke, we should bring him in.
We're not bringing anybody anywhere.
We wouldn't be having this conversation if we ran this the way I wanted to.
What? Looks like he set up for water boarding, electroshock.
Greatest hits from Guantanamo.
And there is that scare around his rist.
Probably from he was in the cuffs himself.
So he has experience from the both sides of an interrogation.
- You're thinking covert operative? - I don't know.
He certainly carries himself like one.
I'm thinking CIA, but he could be DIA, DSS, military intelligence.
Cheryl, you did the right thing.
- Yeah.
- If we did this thing that Sam wanted, it would of gone down way worse.
Try giving Sam that.
You don't have to.
You remember when you and Matt sent me down to tell me that the two of you - Yeah.
You think I was hard on you? You were diplomatic.
What I didn't tell you, was that as hard it is to manage a relationship inside this job is that much harder to manage a break-up.
So what do you mean when you said I was full of crap about Sam and Cheryl? - Just leave it alone, Frank.
- No, I don't wanna leave it alone.
I don't get it.
Weaver has always been cool with me.
What happened between you two? - Between me and Weaver? - Nothing.
- Something.
Here he is.
You even know you're doing this be the way? Better yet to Cheryl.
Well, too late now.
Mister Burke.
Paranoia did I know it.
My lawyer doesn't want me to talk to you, much less having face time.
I'm honored.
I'll be absolutely clear.
I had no involvement in this kidnapping whatsoever.
I heard that form didn't you? Don't you realize that are other people who want this case thrown.
- Who? People who wash money for? Is that why we sitting be *** glass in the middle of the night.
My clients are very private people.
They don't like spotlights.
And this trial it's coped with thousands watts.
Witch makes me just as much a target as Dennis Ryker.
So what better way to earn their trust then by taking him out.
No doubt, who ever is behind this is.
.
an opportunist.
While I don't condemn what he's done.
.
You command his entrepreneurial spirit.
How did I do? Don't know exactly who we are dealing it.
Let's see how you ring so more bells.
So I'm calling in that favor.
Caucasian, scare on the rist.
What's this for exactly? An ongoing trial.
With a protected witness has just kidnapped.
So what makes you think the abducters is one of ours? He knew about the KA29 account.
OK.
I'm calling you, Scott, cause I know you are not gonna give me the runaround.
I'll never give it to you.
This is CIA.
We invented the runaround.
But for you anything.
I'll see what I can do just give me 24 hours.
That's way more time then the kidnappers are giving us.
I'll get right into it.
That's got to be him.
Ok, pull his jacket, we might as well be sure.
Thick to it and found out if is anything that can come back to bites us in the ass.
He's back.
- This is Andre.
- Andre, it's Matt.
New price.
Double That's pretty bold.
Yeah, well you shouldn't come at me.
We can give him 4 million, I've only been authorized for 2.
That's the price.
We can meet the original price.
I want the new price.
No! Please, no! Matt, back story.
enough for government work.
You know all about government work don't cha? If you keep up the price you're gonna drag this out, That's gives a better chance to figure out who you are.
We gonna talk him down, he's gonna kill him.
Matt, get torture out of the equation.
As soon as you leave Dennis alone we're start talking where to meet halfway.
Tell him how much money you move in one day.
- Tell him - Millions.
- Tell him exactly - I don't know.
Tens of millions.
And you guys are gonna confiscate all of it.
No pun.
- Matt, ATM.
- What are they talking about? - Just let them do their work.
- I wanna know what they promised.
- Get him out of here.
- It's not her call.
Andre, here's the deal.
I just got the film up for 4 million.
but I got to make a trip to the ATM to free up some other budgets.
I want 5 million now cause you make me ask you three times.
Two million is our best offer, now you tell him right now.
Yeah, we could do 5 million.
We got access to the KR29 fund but it's gonna take me some time.
- How much? - I need six hours.
- You got 4.
- No.
This is the federal government, I can't get any pencil on this unless it's three.
Three hours.
And if you come at me again, I stop fishing and cut bait.
Do you understand? From now on you do not talk to me - You disobeyed a direct order.
- What are we in the navy? That's enough.
Can I talk to you for a second? What is going on with you? - With me? - Yes.
What's going on with me? Look, this guy it's gonna do what it's gonna do.
He has a problem with Cheryl.
He's pissed of her for whatever she did to him, but she is a big girl and she can handle herself.
Where were you when she did to him.
She didn't do anything to him.
She dumped him and he's not over it.
No she didn't dumped him she proposed to him.
What? When she got promoted she knew she couldn't see him anymore, Because the Bureau kind of founds on that.
Unless a - you're in different sections and b - - you're married So what, he turned her down? Yeah, he couldn't handle that, she outranked him.
Why do you think he walks all over every chance he gets.
Witch is fine, the guy is a toolbox, splitting up is the best thing that ever happened to her.
So what's the problem? I think she still got a thing for him.
I know we got a history but you are way over the line Sam.
What do you want from me? Every time I turn around somebody is dropping the ball.
We are trying to do our jobs.
Stop making it harder then it already is.
I have to.
If things get worse I'm done.
You're done? Why aren't you overstating just a little.
DC haven't been as great as everyone thinks.
Last time they had a chance to bump me up last two times, They just skipped right over me.
Of course.
So it's all writing on this.
- Your whole carrier.
- No just my carrier.
I called you down this morning because.
.
I wanted I guess I wanted to showoff a little.
I wanted you to know that i done good, that I survived without you.
I never doubted did you would.
I hope and wonder that if it's worth it.
- When I look back now - No.
Was that a cuban thing? My papi favorite saying.
Look ahead, don't look back.
I will try.
Every time I look you're not there.
And you took that bottle of wine with you.
Yeah We need to stay on task here.
Right.
This kidnapper it's not gonna go in for a long negotiation.
No.
So maybe if can get him into a handoff we can grab him.
And then we can get Riker back.
I'll talk to D.
C.
See if I can get us close to 5 mil.
It's not gonna be easy.
Good thing, never is.
Flannery.
You were right.
- About Burke? - About Sam.
I'm telling you, Sam it's dirty.
The GPS thing it's misdirect.
He gave off the safehouse.
I bet he tipped off Andre at the mall, he's probably even paying.
Where are you going? - To Cheryl.
- No.
- We have to tell her.
- Let's arrest him first, we'll find out what he knows.
Matt, if I was cheating on you wouldn't you wanna know about it? Alright.
Frank didn't hear the conversation, and it was pretty clock and dagger.
There's trouble written all over it.
Still, it's pretty obvious.
- This is - Cheryl Why are you talking to Burke? - What? - You heard me.
What makes you think I'm talking to Burke? Just answer the question.
- I'm not answering anything.
- Yes, you are.
Alright.
You got me.
I've been meeting with Norris Burke in secret.
In fact we been meeting since before the trial.
And no matter what I promise he still won't flip.
You're offering him **** No, the US attorney's office is doing that.
They want him to give up the identities of his clients.
Bigger fish.
And I'm negotiating the deal.
And it's not what you necotiate out in the open.
I can't believe you had me followed.
She didn't.
Son of a bitch.
- You realize - He didn't know.
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Matt had Burke followed.
You don't have to defend me.
Why don't you guys just box and get it over it.
What is with you? Did I do something to you? - Did I heart your feelings? - Not my feelings.
The guy always had it against me.
He knows, Sam.
About the proposal.
He was my partner.
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah, but it's ok.
You should have told me about Burke.
I'm sorry.
He calls in an hour.
A hour it's long time.
And you never do anything halfway.
You just keep me posted.
No.
No.
That's all I got for now.
I'm sorry, it was hard to tell exactly how he looked like.
No, It,s OK.
We understand.
Andre, kept saying that the government was make him rich.
Will you pay to save my husband life? We will.
If it comes to that.
In fact, we just got authorized for more money, Thank God.
- I have to step up for a second.
- OK.
Could've been a good shot.
What do you say, you wanna make two out of three? No time.
And you know I hate this game.
It's because it requires sadulty nad fineness.
Not exactly in the FBI's wheel house.
Fineness? Like water pouring.
His name is Jared Kendall.
- He's not a company man exactly, he's more like a - Contractor.
Right.
Did some antena-work for us mostly out in Iraq.
Interrogations, reconnaissance but his specialty was working with kidnapping in the gray zone.
Kidnapping.
That explains a lot.
Actually this guy is a hero.
Save a bunch of americans from betting.
Or worse.
How long do you know this was him? We figured it out after we hung up.
We had to confirm it.
If you're fine we want you to, isolate us.
Call him a government contractor, not CIA.
Langley will admissible to that.
I'll bet that they would be.
- What's in it for us? - More then you think.
Just remember I gave you this first and not your upper ops.
Br careful Scott, don't hurt yourself.
Kendell didn't work alone in Iraq.
Some bureau people did duty chors with him.
One guy come out from D.
C.
and we think he is assigned to this Burke case right now.
You know this guy? Hei, we were just talking about you.
Son of a bitch.
You're working with him.
You gonna tell us everything.
Tell us where Kendall is? - Where is he?! - Cheryl.
Where? I don't know.
You're partners.
How could you not know where he is? I want immunity.
I'm sorry? What did you say? Don't worry we'll get the location on Kendall.
You really don't know where Kendall is do you? Kendall is a spook.
He's keeping his location to himself.
Are you even equal partners? I'll hope you'll splitting that 5 mil 50-50.
Son of a bitch.
Is 5 million even the final price? What? This was never a bought extorted money from the Feds was it? I want immunity.
Right.
This is Sam Weaver we're talking about here.
He never does anything halfway.
You were meeting with Burke all this time.
Yeah, except not to flip him, he wanted to sell him ahead.
You had Burke betting against us.
He's a money laundrer, he pays more than we do.
Plus that they they don't have, to trade Ryker to the Feds, they just dump his body in a ditch and spit the money.
Is that how it was? I want immunity.
- Yeah.
- I'll settle with Burke.
Paid in full? Paid up.
Alright.
Nice to have the government dropping up the price.
Hell yeah.
What about that flame of yours? Did you two hook up? I'm working on it.
But,.
.
it doesn't look good.
Who cares, you got 3 million to make you fell better.
I heard that.
- You are ready to do this? - Yes.
Mister Burke.
It's a done deal.
Let's meet at the bridge.
- Where is he? - Police! Hands in the air! I got this! It's OK.
I wanna know one thing? The shopping Mall? I warn him you are coming that how he got away.
It's not what I was gonna ask.
Even if you had pulled this off Ryker would have to die.
So kidnapping ransom thing had to fail and that it would have fallen on me.
What do you think I was trying to take over? Cause I didn't want this to hurt your carrier.
Just mine, cause I now I was getting paid.
What the hell happened to you? Sam it's moving in so are we.
Bravo, take your positions.
Just one doufle.
You got Ryker and Kendall.
Copy that Frank? - Affirmative.
- LSA team take your positions.
Stand by.
Big bag.
All of it? Tell him it's just his part.
It's your part.
- My half you mean.
- You wanna talk about a new split.
I wanna discuss a new split.
Loose the gun, Weaver? If I had one.
No, not a chance.
Tell him to forget it.
Forget it.
Jared Kendall, you're under arrest.
Drop your weapon! Let me go or he dies.
Come on, we really gonna play this? We're doing all day long with bank robbers and ice heads that's not you.
Do you need to shot? - Negative.
Hostage would be compromised.
Jared, you are a businessman, your deal fell through that's all.
Plain and simple.
It's right.
It's over.
If you believe man.
This was just business.
Come on.
It's alright.
It's OK.
Just hang on.
That.
.
you hang on.
OK? Sam? Thanks for coming.
What, are kiddin'? You were supposed to pick this up the day that he left.
It's been sitting in my desk all this years.
I was gonna surprise him, with it after he'd won the trial.
Sforzado made in Northern Italy just at the edge of Swiss Alps.
The grapes are dried on wooden racks, for five months before their pressed.
Intensifies the sugar and the flavor.
I don't know, as long as this stuff comes out of the box.
But that's pretty good too.
You had this thing in the desk the whole time? Well, he left it.
It's his loss.
Some people don't know a good thing when they got it.
I'll try to remember that.
