FBI (2018) s02e07 Episode Script
Undisclosed
1 As university president, my mission is to lead and educate a new generation one that reflects the city of New York, a place that has long been a symbol of diversity and innovation due in no small part to the continued generosity of the people in this room.
That said, my mission, as well as yours, is not over yet.
I hope every donor and friend of the university in this room tonight will support me in that belief.
Thank you.
Thank you all very much.
[APPLAUSE.]
- Yes, sir, very nice.
- Excellent, sir.
- Excellent.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- So good.
Thank you.
That was one hell of a sales pitch, Robert.
I'll be sending a check to the university tomorrow.
How does 5 million sound? That's very generous, Ravi.
But that doesn't change anything.
And of course not.
We just want to keep the lines of communication open.
I understand.
My focus is on the data and the people.
Now if you'll excuse me.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[FOOTSTEPS.]
No, wait [GUNSHOTS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You look thin.
Been eating enough? Um, you're my uncle, Youssef, not my mother.
Yes, I have been eating enough.
So I've got news.
- About what? - About Ryan.
He applied to Newark PD.
- To be a cop? - What? You don't approve.
Being a cop isn't for everyone.
[SIGHS.]
What is that supposed to mean? I mean Ryan's a great kid, but he plays a little fast and loose.
So he exaggerates a little bit.
He's a storyteller like his father.
And this line of work isn't really for storytellers.
It takes a certain kind of personality.
He put your name down as a reference.
Omar, please, he's your cousin.
Just say good things.
Look, people grow.
Everyone deserves a chance.
[PHONE RINGS.]
It's work.
I gotta go.
Hi.
What, nobody gets murdered in the daytime anymore? All right, I know it's late, but this one's what we call a special.
Our DOA is the ex-Surgeon General Robert Cabot.
His death is the lead story on every cable news network, so the director wants to solve this ASAP.
Top priority.
Robert Cabot.
Impeccable pedigree.
Head of Oncology at New York Hospital for 20 years.
Surgeon General under Obama for six.
And for the past two, President of Armstrong University.
So what do we know so far? Cabot was shot on university property while walking to his townhouse.
Time of death's 8:07 p.
m.
Witnesses on scene reported hearing gunshots.
And then his body was found minutes later by campus security.
Right, all right, Kristen and Scola, you wanna hit the crime scene? Interview everyone who had contact with him.
I want to know our victim's frame of mind before he left that event.
You guys wanna talk to the wife? See what she knows and then find out what she doesn't.
All right, people, game time.
Let's do a deep dive into Robert Cabot.
Find me the why, and that'll tell us the who.
- Chazal and Scola, FBI.
- Adams.
You wanna take us through this? Body's this way.
Any security cameras out here? Only on the campus proper.
Good news is, we secured the scene pretty fast.
Based on the ejected shell casings, the murder weapon is a 9-millimeter pistol.
Looks like the gunpowder burned through the clothing.
Means the muzzle was less than two feet away? Killer was face-to-face with Cabot when he fired.
Shot at close range twice, and nothing taken.
You got some witnesses being held back at the hall? Yeah, my guys did some preliminary interviews.
They've identified the ones who had contact with the victim or who can confirm the timeline.
Okay, we're gonna need to speak with all of them.
Yeah.
You called 911 at 8:07 p.
m.
Is that when you heard the shots? Yeah, I stepped outside to dump the trash.
Next thing I know, I hear someone yelling something like, "No, don't.
" And then I hear this pop, pop.
We've been trained about what to do when there's an active shooter on campus, so I immediately called 911.
See or hear anything after the shots were fired? No, I'm not like you guys.
I run away from gunfire, not towards it.
You were the first on scene? Yeah, couldn't have been more than a minute or two after it happened.
Did you see anyone running away? No, and believe me, we looked.
Cabot was one of ours.
He was a good guy.
He always took time to say hi or, you know, ask you how you were doing.
Did you talk to him at the event? Yeah, for a few minutes when he was leaving.
- How'd he seem? - A bit distracted, like there was something on his mind.
Hm.
Did he say anything specific? No, just seemed off.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but that's a feeling I got.
You happen to notice anyone following him? No, he was all alone.
And about five minutes later, I heard the gunshots.
I know this is really hard.
But anything you say can really help us.
Okay, whatever you need.
I just want whoever did this to be caught.
Can you think of any reason that anyone would wanna hurt your husband? No.
Not at all.
He was a good man.
Everybody loved him.
His whole life was spent helping others.
Saving lives.
Did anything happen in the last few days? Have you noticed any people following you or strange cars parked near the house? No, nothing like that.
But there was something earlier today.
A man came to the house, banging on the door, ringing the doorbell.
He was shouting for Robert, making a scene.
I almost dialed 911.
Was your husband home? No, I was alone, so of course I didn't open it.
To be honest, when I saw him on the video screen, he scared me.
Your doorbell has video capability? Yes.
Did a facial recognition scan from the doorbell footage and compared it to the student ID database.
His name is Luke Wagner, 19 years old, a freshman at Armstrong University.
What do we know about him? Any past run-ins with the law? None that I could find, but his dad, Marc Wagner, is the subject of a federal fraud investigation.
Really? We know what that's about? - Not yet.
- Check with White Collar.
Let me know.
We talked to the school registrar.
Luke was expelled yesterday.
Honor code violation.
And get this, Cabot personally handled the expulsion.
Well, that would explain why the kid is angry at him.
But why would a college president personally handle an expulsion? Probably a delicate situation.
Let's bring in the kid for a sit-down.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
What? My younger cousin wants to be a Newark cop, and the guy handling his application is reaching out.
- And you're ducking his call? - Exactly.
Oh, not cut out for the police, huh? He's cut out to be a salesman or a talk show host.
Wait, what does that mean? Uh, he's not good with the truth.
I found three gross exaggerations on his application.
Oh.
What are you gonna tell the guy handling his file? I don't know.
He's family.
I don't really have a choice, do I? I mean, sure you do.
Just have to be willing to deal with the consequences.
Luke didn't come back to the dorm last night.
I tried calling him, but he isn't picking up.
How did he seem the last time you saw him? Not good.
He got kicked out of school yesterday.
It kind of put him in a dark place.
Has he mentioned Robert Cabot at all? Yeah, he was ranting and raving about him.
- You don't think he - We don't know yet.
Did he mention why he got expelled? Admissions violation.
Luke had no clue what Cabot was even talking about.
That's why he was so upset.
Don't blame him; the guy studies his ass off.
His dad's got a place in Brooklyn.
Maybe he's over there.
Okay, thanks.
We'll check it out.
One more thing have you ever seen Luke with a gun? Him with a gun? No.
No way, I'd, like, totally freak out if I saw something like that.
Luke's not the kind of guy who should be carrying around a weapon.
What do you mean by that? Luke has some personality issues.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Antipsychotics.
He stopped taking them, like, three days ago, so.
Okay.
Thank you.
Luke? FBI.
Hey, Luke.
Just wanna talk to you.
Take around back.
Luke, put the gun away! What are you doing? OA.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
We're the FBI, we just wanna talk.
Luke, my name is Omar, and I am not here to hurt you.
I put my weapon away.
Would you please put your gun down and just talk to us? You called the cops on me?! - No, I - He didn't call us.
It's the truth.
I promise, your dad, he did not call us.
We're just here because we're worried about you.
They said that I cheated to get in, but I didn't, I We know you didn't.
Well, then why did Cabot throw me out?! We know about the investigation.
Will you please tell your son what really happened? Luke, this isn't on you.
It's my fault.
I was just trying to help.
What did you do? I paid the swim coach to get you in as an athletic recruit.
What? I just wanted what was best for you.
What, you didn't think I could get in myself? It's so competitive, and you were starting to be in a good place again.
Take the gun away from your head, Luke, please.
All this will get better.
I promise.
Will it? Luke, you know why the rearview mirror is so much smaller than the windshield on a car, right? Because what's behind us is so much less important than what is in front of us.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
What's in front of me sucks.
[YELPS.]
Don't hurt him, please, please [SOBS.]
You okay? You don't have to talk to us if you don't want to.
Your dad got a lawyer.
He's waiting downstairs.
No, no.
I don't want anything from him.
Or from anyone.
[QUIETLY.]
Yeah, I get it.
That's why I'm here.
I wanna get your side of the story.
Okay? So can you tell me what happened between you and Cabot? Okay, how about this? I'm gonna start talking.
If you hear anything that's off or wrong, stop me.
So you tried to find Cabot that afternoon.
You went to his house.
You knocked on his door.
No one answered.
So you went back later that night, - waited for him to show up.
- No.
I know you were there.
Okay? Your GPS showed it.
But you just wanted to talk to him, right? Figure out why he expelled you.
Yeah.
I deserved another chance.
I mean, that's why I waited for him.
All I wanted was to make him listen to me.
So then what happened? You start arguing, yelling, you say something insulting, and that's when you shot him with your dad's gun? No.
No.
No, it wasn't like that.
I I mean, I didn't even have my dad's gun on me.
I was waiting at his place.
But then I heard gunshots, and I got scared, and I ran.
- So you didn't shoot Cabot.
- No.
No.
No, I could I could never do something like that.
I couldn't.
Hey, ballistics just came in on his dad's gun.
Not the same one that was used to kill Cabot.
Also there's no GSR on his shirt or skin.
What should we do with him? Get him out of psych hold.
Put him back on his meds.
Check out Cabot's financials.
In debt up to his eyeballs.
Every credit card was maxed out.
Any idea why? Well, he wired his last $400,000 to an offshore LLC owned by Jack Shelby three months ago.
He hasn't made a credit card payment since.
Who is Jack Shelby? He was released from Rikers last year.
Did a three and a half year stretch for cocaine distribution.
Not the type of guy you'd expect to find in Cabot's social circle.
Unless he had a coke problem.
Right.
Which might explain why he sent that text to Cabot four days ago.
He sent a text saying, "Gotta pay up soon, Doc, or things'll get ugly.
" Where's Shelby now? We don't have a last known address.
Actually, you know what, hold on a sec.
Let me check something.
He just charged his credit card at the Lancaster Club on Lexington.
Take OA, get over there now.
See if he's still there.
I don't see him.
What'll it be? We are looking for Jack.
- Who? - Shelby.
He was just here.
Sorry, never heard of him.
There he is.
He's headed upstairs.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
You need to leave.
This area's off limits.
We're FBI.
Step aside now.
Cops! FBI put your hands where I can see them, now.
Poker? We're only here for Jack Shelby.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Get your hands behind your back.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Nobody move.
Oh, looks like a parole violation to me.
So where were you last night at 8:00 p.
m.
? - Why? - Look, you can either answer our questions or go back to jail.
Because you might beat this gambling charge; you're not walking away from this eight ball of coke I just found in your pocket.
So what's it gonna be? What do you wanna know? Tell us about Robert Cabot.
What about him? Saw on the news, he's dead.
Right.
Did you kill him? Kill him? I'd do everything I could to keep him alive for the next thousand years.
He was the worst card player I ever met.
So his debt was about poker, not drugs? Yeah.
Guy was a genius when it comes to medicine but dumb as a rock when it comes to poker.
How much did he owe you? Currently? None, zilch.
Then why did you send him a threatening text last week? Because at the time I needed to get paid.
No different than American Express.
But I didn't kill him.
We know that Cabot owed you money.
We also know that you sent him a threatening text.
What do you think the jury's gonna assume happened next, huh? I had no reason to go after Cabot.
He was all paid up.
His buddy dropped the cash off three days ago.
After I sent that text.
What was his buddy's name? - Don't know.
- Wrong answer.
When a guy shows up on the regular and hands you $300,000 in cash, you don't ask questions.
If you don't believe me, check the security cameras outside the bar.
For a dirty guy, Jack's looking pretty clean right about now.
Three different guys said he was playing cards at the time of the murder.
And his story about getting paid off, it checks out.
Look.
- We run facial recognition? - Yes.
The guy dropping off the money is named Ravi Sharma.
Yeah? What do we know about Sharma? For starters, he's a multibillionaire, runs a private equity fund, invests in companies all around the world.
Why would a billionaire act as a bag man for a guy like Cabot? Well, here's what I'm thinking.
Remember Shelby said Sharma started paying off Cabot's debt on a regular basis around 12 weeks ago? - Yep.
- Okay.
During that same time period, Cabot announced he was joining the board of a company called Cemera.
It's a startup that Ravi Sharma has a huge stake in.
So Sharma pays off Cabot's debt, and in return Cabot lends his fame and reputation to a startup.
It's a story as old as time.
Cemera.
Why do I know that name? Been in the news a lot recently.
They developed a low cost scan that detects various types of - Cancer, right.
- Cancer.
Yeah, it's supposed to be more accurate than a CT or a PET scan but at a tenth of the cost.
- Huh, that's interesting.
- Hm? Cemera filed an S-1 last month.
S-what? Sorry, means Cemera was about to go public.
Oh, hold on.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Look.
Yeah, two days ago Cabot sent Sharma an email saying he wanted to delay the IPO.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
I mean, it gets pretty contentious.
Sharma says he doesn't wanna delay.
Cabot says he's getting nervous.
He's not sure the technology is quite ready.
So Cabot wants to kill the IPO, which means that Sharma would lose 1.
4 billion.
That's a lot of money.
People have killed for a lot less.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
It'll work out.
FBI.
Mr.
Sharma, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Gentlemen, can I have a moment? I'm not in the habit of being embarrassed, especially in an establishment that I own.
So what is this about? Robert Cabot.
What about him? We know that you paid his gambling debts.
Is it a crime to help out a friend? Well, you didn't do it out of friendship.
You used it as leverage to get him to join Cemera.
And then when he didn't follow the program, you killed him.
I did not murder Robert Cabot.
I was just trying to help him out of a bind.
Okay, before you dig yourself a deeper hole, I'd like to remind you that lying to a federal agent is a felony.
He was a friend and someone I greatly respected.
I helped Robert with his debts, and in exchange he agreed to Join Cemera's board.
But Cabot didn't wanna go through with the IPO.
He was worried the tech wasn't ready.
Which was gonna cost you $1.
4 billion.
Google me.
You'll see I don't need the money.
So the idea of killing someone over a few dollars is preposterous.
You were at the fundraiser the night Cabot was killed, - correct? - Yes.
Well, we don't have you on record as being interviewed.
Which means you disappeared when the cops arrived.
I left the event before it ended.
I was already across the bridge when I heard that Cabot was shot.
My driver is a retired NYPD cop.
Talk to him.
He'll confirm it.
All right, so what do we got? Well, Sharma's driver confirmed his alibi.
He was already across the bridge when Cabot was murdered.
And it's true, Sharma's still a multibillionaire without the Cemera IPO.
- But you know who isn't? - Hm? Corinne Baker.
The second largest shareholder after Sharma.
What do we know about her? Ah, well, she went to Stanford, She majored in software engineering.
She worked at Google.
She worked at Intel.
And then about six years ago she started Cemera.
And, if her press clippings are accurate, she is a relentless philanthropist on the verge of revolutionizing the medical industry.
What do you know, tech visionary with a heart of gold.
Not exactly.
An ex-boyfriend filed a restraining order against her six months ago, claiming she was stalking and harassing him.
And she was at Cabot's fundraiser, too.
Yeah, and like Sharma, she didn't stick around to talk to the cops either.
I wasn't aware there had been a shooting until after I left.
If I had known Robert was lying there dying, of course I would have stayed.
We all loved Robert.
When I told my mother what happened, we both cried for hours.
Cabot was a close friend? Our families have known each other for years, yes.
Okay, well, if that's the case, then why did Sharma have to leverage Cabot to join the Cemera board? Simple when it comes to innovation, Robert could be overly cautious.
That's a great strength to have if you're the surgeon general but crippling weakness if you work in the private sector.
So you must have been pretty angry when he didn't wanna go through with the IPO.
I don't get angry.
It's a waste of energy and doesn't serve a purpose.
That's not what your ex-boyfriend said in the body of his restraining order.
That matter's been resolved.
Look, I had nothing to do with Robert's death.
In fact, he and I had lunch the day he was killed.
Discussed the company, most recent test results.
Whatever concerns he had were put to rest.
So you're saying Cabot was back on board? Yes.
He was ready to move forward with the IPO? Yes.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
We tracked Corinne's credit card usage, found the restaurant that she and Cabot ate at.
There was video footage from inside, but there was no sound, so Cisneros offered to help us out.
Ah, thank you very much.
Any luck? My lip reading is only as good as the material I'm working with, so in this case, because of the angle, I'm only able to interpret a few of the exchanges.
Well, as my mom used to say on my birthday, something is better than nothing.
During this first part, Cabot is saying he's concerned about a road show.
Didn't wanna proceed with it.
Road show? What is that? It's when executives pitch the IPO to investors.
Corinne says she doesn't want to delay, thinks he's being too conservative.
But then, just before walking off, Cabot says something about going to the FDA.
- She looks pissed.
- Mm-hmm.
Don't blame her.
Cabot goes to the FDA, it's good-bye Cemera, good-bye IPO.
So he was threatening Corinne's future.
Maybe the ex-boyfriend was telling the truth about her temper.
Seems like motive and opportunity to me.
Let's bring her in.
[GUNSHOTS.]
This is Agent Chazal.
We need backup to our location ASAP.
Shots fired.
[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS.]
FBI! Announce yourself and step out! [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Blood.
It's Corinne.
She's down.
Shooter's gotta still be here.
She's alive.
Get her an ambulance.
FBI! Show me your hands! We need an ambulance.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER, SIRENS.]
Excuse me, ma'am.
I just have a couple of questions on Pardon me.
Push these people farther back.
Any official statement from the department? You will get a statement once I know what we have.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER.]
What do we know? Footage from the lobby.
We think that's the shooter.
Unfortunately, his hoodie is up the whole time, - so we can't see his face.
- And Corinne? Her wounds appear to be superficial.
One to the hand, one to the shoulder.
Fact that she was knocked out cold when she fell probably saved her life.
Shooter must have thought she was dead.
And once you arrived, he ran.
Yeah, I radioed NYPD for backup the second I realized I lost him.
They set up a two block containment immediately after they arrived, but the shooter must have breached it.
Agents are canvassing the area now - for additional witnesses.
- Okay.
It looks like Corinne's attacker waited for her inside the elevator and then forced her in at gunpoint.
The shell casings are 9-millimeter, same as the ones found at the Cabot murder scene.
Bloody shoe print is a men's size 11.
Looks like after the shooter fired the first shot, he and Corinne struggled, and then after that, from what we heard, there were two more shots There must have been a shot that missed, right? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[GASPS.]
Look at this.
Get ERT over here right away to dig that out.
Okay.
Ballistics say that the bullet pulled at Corinne's was a match for the ones that killed Cabot.
- So it's the same shooter.
- We think so.
And based on the size and the style of the shoe prints and the surveillance video, we know the shooter's a male.
So if Corinne isn't the killer, who is? I don't know, but I'm guessing it has to do with Cemera.
It's the only thing that both victims have in common.
Can you think of anyone who has an axe to grind - with this company? - Hard to say.
I'm only here one or two times a month.
One of many companies I'm involved in.
Corinne mention any issues? Threats for competitors? Angry ex-employees? Well, Corinne terminated a lead technician the other day, and then she had me have my lawyers check if there was an NDA in place.
Okay, what was that employee's name? And what was Corinne's concern? Bixby.
She said that he had vandalized a scanner and then argued in front of employees.
Okay, we're gonna need all the information you have on Bixby.
As well as the access to all of Cemera - personnel and files.
- [PHONE BUZZES.]
- Whatever you need.
- Corinne is out of surgery.
Okay, thank you.
It happened so fast.
I never got a clear look at him.
All I can tell you is it was a man.
Well, the bloody footprints show that you two were within inches of each other, which indicates that you actually did get a clear look at him.
So why are you saying you didn't? I wish I could tell you more, but right now everything's foggy.
You had a confrontation two days ago with a Cemera technician named Wayne Bixby, and then he was fired.
Any chance it was him? I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
And it wasn't a confrontation.
He destroyed a scanner and started arguing with you.
That sounds like a confrontation to me.
How did you find out about that? Sharma gave us full access to Cemera.
Well, as CEO I'm rescinding it.
I want any files downloaded or taken returned immediately.
Okay, Corinne, if I were to guess, I would say that you're stonewalling us right now because you're worried about any negative press before your upcoming IPO.
I spent the last six years of my life working to redefine cancer screenings.
Our tech is proprietary, cutting edge, and revolutionary.
My company is literally going to change the world, so nothing anyone does or says is gonna stop us from moving forward.
Okay, well, we're trying to find the man who's responsible for Cabot's murder and your assault, so I would think that you'd be a little more focused on that and less on your company's future right now.
You obviously don't know me very well.
Look, we're just trying to find out whatever Sorry, no more questions.
Not without my lawyers present.
Okay, thank you.
- Wayne Bixby.
- Yeah? FBI.
Step on over.
Sir, can you hold still? Whoa, what is this about? Where were you at 2:00 p.
m.
this afternoon? Why? Because someone shot Corinne Baker.
Wait.
You think it was me? Well, she fired you after you vandalized her expensive scanner.
Yeah, that is not how that went down.
Besides, at 2:00 p.
m.
I was at a job interview at St.
Ann's over on Third Avenue.
If you don't believe me, check with them.
We will.
But since you mentioned it, why did you get fired? I signed an NDA; I can't talk about it.
We're investigating a murder here, so that's gonna supersede your NDA.
Okay, first off, I didn't destroy the scanner, okay? A patient did.
Corinne just blamed it on me because I questioned the validity of the scans.
Wait, why would a patient destroy a scanner? Because they don't work like they're supposed to.
What do you mean? Okay, the technology wasn't fully formed.
People are getting bad results.
I worked in an oncology clinic before Cemera.
I know sick people when I see 'em.
Wait, so the scans were coming back clean even if the patients weren't? Yeah, in a few instances, anyway.
And you confronted Corinne about this.
Look, I had to, okay? A patient went ballistic, said he just found out he had lung cancer again, that it already reached stage 4, okay? He would've caught it in time if it weren't for the false test results.
What did you do? What could I do? He's right.
The look in his eye, his neck tattoo, it was scary.
He kept talking about being lied to, saying that he knew Cabot, he trusted Cabot, and look where that got him.
Was his name Tommy Ward? Yeah.
Thank you.
Am I good? We done? [TIRES SQUEALING.]
We have a lead on a new suspect, name is Tommy Ward.
He works at the university as a security guard.
He was one of the witnesses listed at the crime scene, right? Yeah, he said he was the last one to talk to Cabot after the fundraiser.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Do we have a current location on him? University said he didn't show up to work today, but we're pulling up to the house now.
All right, this man has shot two people; be careful.
FBI.
Where's Tommy? - He's not here.
- Who are you? - I'm his wife.
- How long ago did he leave? About a half an hour ago.
He just told me about the cancer.
How did it come back so fast? It's important that we find him.
- Where did he go? - I don't know.
But you have to find him.
I'm afraid he might hurt himself.
What makes you say that? He took his gun with him.
Our suspect Tommy Ward is a wounded animal that wants everyone to feel his pain.
Where's he going? Does he have a hit list, or is Cemera his sole focus? Where are you on pinging his phone? It's gone dark.
He must have turned it off.
His wife said he doesn't have a car, so he's likely on foot or on the subway.
Check activity on his MetroCard.
I have agents sitting on Sharma and Corinne, and a dozen more at the main Cemera facility.
Tommy used his MetroCard 32 minutes ago at the 148th Street station.
It's the end of the 3 line, so he must be traveling south.
Okay, that doesn't go near Sharma's or the hospital.
But it does go right to the Cemera headquarters.
There's 300 employees in that building and every one a target of his rage.
That's where he's going.
He'd have to exit at Houston.
I got him leaving Houston Street station two minutes ago.
Walking towards Cemera.
Maggie and OA are at Cemera.
Have them intercept him before he gets to those employees.
On it.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What's the deal? Sorry.
Did he get past us? No, there he is.
Tommy.
[GUNSHOT.]
[CROWD SCREAMING.]
Hey, FBI.
Put the gun down.
Move.
Put down the weapon! FBI! You move any closer, and I'll shoot him.
You don't wanna do that, Tommy.
We know what Cemera did, okay? This guy has nothing to do with that.
- He doesn't deserve to die.
- I don't deserve to die! Me! I trusted Cabot! He's the one who put me in the Cemera trial.
I thought he was looking out for me.
But nobody tells the truth anymore! Cabot was not trying to cover this up.
The exact opposite, he was about to blow the whistle.
Come on, Tommy, do the right thing.
Put the gun down and let him go.
I just want the people of Cemera to pay for what they did to me for what they did to the others.
Now what, I'm just supposed to die a slow, painful death in prison? No, it doesn't have to be that.
This is not a better alternative.
Look around.
This isn't gonna end well.
Come on, let him go.
Tommy! [TIRES SCREECH.]
Tommy! - Oh, God! - Ah! Did you see that? [PANTING.]
Come on, don't look.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, did we notify Tommy Ward's wife? Yeah, we did.
Wasn't easy, but his actions put a spotlight on Cemera, so I guess there's a silver lining there.
Yeah.
I think we should track down all of the patients that got scanned, make sure they see a real doctor and fast.
Yeah, we're putting a list together right now.
We have 785 names so far.
I mean, God knows how many of those are misdiagnosed.
Well, if there's anything I can do to help Um, yeah, there is.
I wanna arrest Corinne.
But you know how hard it is to prove fraud.
I know, but I've got five employees who are willing to testify that Corinne knew the tech didn't work.
Then what the hell are you waiting for? Corinne.
Thanks for everything.
I'd shake your hand, but We need to talk.
I'm late to a meeting, but perhaps next week we could No, I don't think so.
We have evidence that you've defrauded investors, doctors, and patients.
Wayne Bixby and six other Cemera employees are speaking with our fraud investigators right now.
You're not going anywhere.
You're under arrest.
Startups have missteps.
That's part of innovation.
I was trying to move forward, trying to save people's lives.
No, Robert Cabot was trying to save people's lives.
And now, thanks to you, he's dead.
- This way, ma'am.
- This is ridiculous.
It's just it's a misunderstanding.
Everything's under control.
I didn't do anything illegal.
Don't listen to Everything's under control.
I don't get it.
If her whole purpose is to save lives, why did she knowingly put so many people at risk? 'Cause Corinne's a liar only cares about her name and her brand.
I guess in some lines of work you can get away with that but not when people's lives are at risk.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
Hey, Baba.
Thank you for coming.
I didn't wanna do this over the phone.
- Everything okay? - Yeah, yeah.
It's about Ryan.
I talked to the guy who's doing his background at Newark PD.
And? They're not gonna hire him.
You didn't support him on this? I did.
I told him what a great guy Ryan is, but I expressed my concerns about his ability to be a cop.
Why would you do that? Because it's the truth.
Look, I love Ryan, of course, and I would do anything to help him.
But I wasn't confident in recommending him for this particular job.
Being a cop's no joke.
People's lives are at risk.
I'm sorry.
That said, my mission, as well as yours, is not over yet.
I hope every donor and friend of the university in this room tonight will support me in that belief.
Thank you.
Thank you all very much.
[APPLAUSE.]
- Yes, sir, very nice.
- Excellent, sir.
- Excellent.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
- So good.
Thank you.
That was one hell of a sales pitch, Robert.
I'll be sending a check to the university tomorrow.
How does 5 million sound? That's very generous, Ravi.
But that doesn't change anything.
And of course not.
We just want to keep the lines of communication open.
I understand.
My focus is on the data and the people.
Now if you'll excuse me.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[FOOTSTEPS.]
No, wait [GUNSHOTS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You look thin.
Been eating enough? Um, you're my uncle, Youssef, not my mother.
Yes, I have been eating enough.
So I've got news.
- About what? - About Ryan.
He applied to Newark PD.
- To be a cop? - What? You don't approve.
Being a cop isn't for everyone.
[SIGHS.]
What is that supposed to mean? I mean Ryan's a great kid, but he plays a little fast and loose.
So he exaggerates a little bit.
He's a storyteller like his father.
And this line of work isn't really for storytellers.
It takes a certain kind of personality.
He put your name down as a reference.
Omar, please, he's your cousin.
Just say good things.
Look, people grow.
Everyone deserves a chance.
[PHONE RINGS.]
It's work.
I gotta go.
Hi.
What, nobody gets murdered in the daytime anymore? All right, I know it's late, but this one's what we call a special.
Our DOA is the ex-Surgeon General Robert Cabot.
His death is the lead story on every cable news network, so the director wants to solve this ASAP.
Top priority.
Robert Cabot.
Impeccable pedigree.
Head of Oncology at New York Hospital for 20 years.
Surgeon General under Obama for six.
And for the past two, President of Armstrong University.
So what do we know so far? Cabot was shot on university property while walking to his townhouse.
Time of death's 8:07 p.
m.
Witnesses on scene reported hearing gunshots.
And then his body was found minutes later by campus security.
Right, all right, Kristen and Scola, you wanna hit the crime scene? Interview everyone who had contact with him.
I want to know our victim's frame of mind before he left that event.
You guys wanna talk to the wife? See what she knows and then find out what she doesn't.
All right, people, game time.
Let's do a deep dive into Robert Cabot.
Find me the why, and that'll tell us the who.
- Chazal and Scola, FBI.
- Adams.
You wanna take us through this? Body's this way.
Any security cameras out here? Only on the campus proper.
Good news is, we secured the scene pretty fast.
Based on the ejected shell casings, the murder weapon is a 9-millimeter pistol.
Looks like the gunpowder burned through the clothing.
Means the muzzle was less than two feet away? Killer was face-to-face with Cabot when he fired.
Shot at close range twice, and nothing taken.
You got some witnesses being held back at the hall? Yeah, my guys did some preliminary interviews.
They've identified the ones who had contact with the victim or who can confirm the timeline.
Okay, we're gonna need to speak with all of them.
Yeah.
You called 911 at 8:07 p.
m.
Is that when you heard the shots? Yeah, I stepped outside to dump the trash.
Next thing I know, I hear someone yelling something like, "No, don't.
" And then I hear this pop, pop.
We've been trained about what to do when there's an active shooter on campus, so I immediately called 911.
See or hear anything after the shots were fired? No, I'm not like you guys.
I run away from gunfire, not towards it.
You were the first on scene? Yeah, couldn't have been more than a minute or two after it happened.
Did you see anyone running away? No, and believe me, we looked.
Cabot was one of ours.
He was a good guy.
He always took time to say hi or, you know, ask you how you were doing.
Did you talk to him at the event? Yeah, for a few minutes when he was leaving.
- How'd he seem? - A bit distracted, like there was something on his mind.
Hm.
Did he say anything specific? No, just seemed off.
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but that's a feeling I got.
You happen to notice anyone following him? No, he was all alone.
And about five minutes later, I heard the gunshots.
I know this is really hard.
But anything you say can really help us.
Okay, whatever you need.
I just want whoever did this to be caught.
Can you think of any reason that anyone would wanna hurt your husband? No.
Not at all.
He was a good man.
Everybody loved him.
His whole life was spent helping others.
Saving lives.
Did anything happen in the last few days? Have you noticed any people following you or strange cars parked near the house? No, nothing like that.
But there was something earlier today.
A man came to the house, banging on the door, ringing the doorbell.
He was shouting for Robert, making a scene.
I almost dialed 911.
Was your husband home? No, I was alone, so of course I didn't open it.
To be honest, when I saw him on the video screen, he scared me.
Your doorbell has video capability? Yes.
Did a facial recognition scan from the doorbell footage and compared it to the student ID database.
His name is Luke Wagner, 19 years old, a freshman at Armstrong University.
What do we know about him? Any past run-ins with the law? None that I could find, but his dad, Marc Wagner, is the subject of a federal fraud investigation.
Really? We know what that's about? - Not yet.
- Check with White Collar.
Let me know.
We talked to the school registrar.
Luke was expelled yesterday.
Honor code violation.
And get this, Cabot personally handled the expulsion.
Well, that would explain why the kid is angry at him.
But why would a college president personally handle an expulsion? Probably a delicate situation.
Let's bring in the kid for a sit-down.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
What? My younger cousin wants to be a Newark cop, and the guy handling his application is reaching out.
- And you're ducking his call? - Exactly.
Oh, not cut out for the police, huh? He's cut out to be a salesman or a talk show host.
Wait, what does that mean? Uh, he's not good with the truth.
I found three gross exaggerations on his application.
Oh.
What are you gonna tell the guy handling his file? I don't know.
He's family.
I don't really have a choice, do I? I mean, sure you do.
Just have to be willing to deal with the consequences.
Luke didn't come back to the dorm last night.
I tried calling him, but he isn't picking up.
How did he seem the last time you saw him? Not good.
He got kicked out of school yesterday.
It kind of put him in a dark place.
Has he mentioned Robert Cabot at all? Yeah, he was ranting and raving about him.
- You don't think he - We don't know yet.
Did he mention why he got expelled? Admissions violation.
Luke had no clue what Cabot was even talking about.
That's why he was so upset.
Don't blame him; the guy studies his ass off.
His dad's got a place in Brooklyn.
Maybe he's over there.
Okay, thanks.
We'll check it out.
One more thing have you ever seen Luke with a gun? Him with a gun? No.
No way, I'd, like, totally freak out if I saw something like that.
Luke's not the kind of guy who should be carrying around a weapon.
What do you mean by that? Luke has some personality issues.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Antipsychotics.
He stopped taking them, like, three days ago, so.
Okay.
Thank you.
Luke? FBI.
Hey, Luke.
Just wanna talk to you.
Take around back.
Luke, put the gun away! What are you doing? OA.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
We're the FBI, we just wanna talk.
Luke, my name is Omar, and I am not here to hurt you.
I put my weapon away.
Would you please put your gun down and just talk to us? You called the cops on me?! - No, I - He didn't call us.
It's the truth.
I promise, your dad, he did not call us.
We're just here because we're worried about you.
They said that I cheated to get in, but I didn't, I We know you didn't.
Well, then why did Cabot throw me out?! We know about the investigation.
Will you please tell your son what really happened? Luke, this isn't on you.
It's my fault.
I was just trying to help.
What did you do? I paid the swim coach to get you in as an athletic recruit.
What? I just wanted what was best for you.
What, you didn't think I could get in myself? It's so competitive, and you were starting to be in a good place again.
Take the gun away from your head, Luke, please.
All this will get better.
I promise.
Will it? Luke, you know why the rearview mirror is so much smaller than the windshield on a car, right? Because what's behind us is so much less important than what is in front of us.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
What's in front of me sucks.
[YELPS.]
Don't hurt him, please, please [SOBS.]
You okay? You don't have to talk to us if you don't want to.
Your dad got a lawyer.
He's waiting downstairs.
No, no.
I don't want anything from him.
Or from anyone.
[QUIETLY.]
Yeah, I get it.
That's why I'm here.
I wanna get your side of the story.
Okay? So can you tell me what happened between you and Cabot? Okay, how about this? I'm gonna start talking.
If you hear anything that's off or wrong, stop me.
So you tried to find Cabot that afternoon.
You went to his house.
You knocked on his door.
No one answered.
So you went back later that night, - waited for him to show up.
- No.
I know you were there.
Okay? Your GPS showed it.
But you just wanted to talk to him, right? Figure out why he expelled you.
Yeah.
I deserved another chance.
I mean, that's why I waited for him.
All I wanted was to make him listen to me.
So then what happened? You start arguing, yelling, you say something insulting, and that's when you shot him with your dad's gun? No.
No.
No, it wasn't like that.
I I mean, I didn't even have my dad's gun on me.
I was waiting at his place.
But then I heard gunshots, and I got scared, and I ran.
- So you didn't shoot Cabot.
- No.
No.
No, I could I could never do something like that.
I couldn't.
Hey, ballistics just came in on his dad's gun.
Not the same one that was used to kill Cabot.
Also there's no GSR on his shirt or skin.
What should we do with him? Get him out of psych hold.
Put him back on his meds.
Check out Cabot's financials.
In debt up to his eyeballs.
Every credit card was maxed out.
Any idea why? Well, he wired his last $400,000 to an offshore LLC owned by Jack Shelby three months ago.
He hasn't made a credit card payment since.
Who is Jack Shelby? He was released from Rikers last year.
Did a three and a half year stretch for cocaine distribution.
Not the type of guy you'd expect to find in Cabot's social circle.
Unless he had a coke problem.
Right.
Which might explain why he sent that text to Cabot four days ago.
He sent a text saying, "Gotta pay up soon, Doc, or things'll get ugly.
" Where's Shelby now? We don't have a last known address.
Actually, you know what, hold on a sec.
Let me check something.
He just charged his credit card at the Lancaster Club on Lexington.
Take OA, get over there now.
See if he's still there.
I don't see him.
What'll it be? We are looking for Jack.
- Who? - Shelby.
He was just here.
Sorry, never heard of him.
There he is.
He's headed upstairs.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
You need to leave.
This area's off limits.
We're FBI.
Step aside now.
Cops! FBI put your hands where I can see them, now.
Poker? We're only here for Jack Shelby.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Get your hands behind your back.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Nobody move.
Oh, looks like a parole violation to me.
So where were you last night at 8:00 p.
m.
? - Why? - Look, you can either answer our questions or go back to jail.
Because you might beat this gambling charge; you're not walking away from this eight ball of coke I just found in your pocket.
So what's it gonna be? What do you wanna know? Tell us about Robert Cabot.
What about him? Saw on the news, he's dead.
Right.
Did you kill him? Kill him? I'd do everything I could to keep him alive for the next thousand years.
He was the worst card player I ever met.
So his debt was about poker, not drugs? Yeah.
Guy was a genius when it comes to medicine but dumb as a rock when it comes to poker.
How much did he owe you? Currently? None, zilch.
Then why did you send him a threatening text last week? Because at the time I needed to get paid.
No different than American Express.
But I didn't kill him.
We know that Cabot owed you money.
We also know that you sent him a threatening text.
What do you think the jury's gonna assume happened next, huh? I had no reason to go after Cabot.
He was all paid up.
His buddy dropped the cash off three days ago.
After I sent that text.
What was his buddy's name? - Don't know.
- Wrong answer.
When a guy shows up on the regular and hands you $300,000 in cash, you don't ask questions.
If you don't believe me, check the security cameras outside the bar.
For a dirty guy, Jack's looking pretty clean right about now.
Three different guys said he was playing cards at the time of the murder.
And his story about getting paid off, it checks out.
Look.
- We run facial recognition? - Yes.
The guy dropping off the money is named Ravi Sharma.
Yeah? What do we know about Sharma? For starters, he's a multibillionaire, runs a private equity fund, invests in companies all around the world.
Why would a billionaire act as a bag man for a guy like Cabot? Well, here's what I'm thinking.
Remember Shelby said Sharma started paying off Cabot's debt on a regular basis around 12 weeks ago? - Yep.
- Okay.
During that same time period, Cabot announced he was joining the board of a company called Cemera.
It's a startup that Ravi Sharma has a huge stake in.
So Sharma pays off Cabot's debt, and in return Cabot lends his fame and reputation to a startup.
It's a story as old as time.
Cemera.
Why do I know that name? Been in the news a lot recently.
They developed a low cost scan that detects various types of - Cancer, right.
- Cancer.
Yeah, it's supposed to be more accurate than a CT or a PET scan but at a tenth of the cost.
- Huh, that's interesting.
- Hm? Cemera filed an S-1 last month.
S-what? Sorry, means Cemera was about to go public.
Oh, hold on.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Look.
Yeah, two days ago Cabot sent Sharma an email saying he wanted to delay the IPO.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
I mean, it gets pretty contentious.
Sharma says he doesn't wanna delay.
Cabot says he's getting nervous.
He's not sure the technology is quite ready.
So Cabot wants to kill the IPO, which means that Sharma would lose 1.
4 billion.
That's a lot of money.
People have killed for a lot less.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
It'll work out.
FBI.
Mr.
Sharma, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Gentlemen, can I have a moment? I'm not in the habit of being embarrassed, especially in an establishment that I own.
So what is this about? Robert Cabot.
What about him? We know that you paid his gambling debts.
Is it a crime to help out a friend? Well, you didn't do it out of friendship.
You used it as leverage to get him to join Cemera.
And then when he didn't follow the program, you killed him.
I did not murder Robert Cabot.
I was just trying to help him out of a bind.
Okay, before you dig yourself a deeper hole, I'd like to remind you that lying to a federal agent is a felony.
He was a friend and someone I greatly respected.
I helped Robert with his debts, and in exchange he agreed to Join Cemera's board.
But Cabot didn't wanna go through with the IPO.
He was worried the tech wasn't ready.
Which was gonna cost you $1.
4 billion.
Google me.
You'll see I don't need the money.
So the idea of killing someone over a few dollars is preposterous.
You were at the fundraiser the night Cabot was killed, - correct? - Yes.
Well, we don't have you on record as being interviewed.
Which means you disappeared when the cops arrived.
I left the event before it ended.
I was already across the bridge when I heard that Cabot was shot.
My driver is a retired NYPD cop.
Talk to him.
He'll confirm it.
All right, so what do we got? Well, Sharma's driver confirmed his alibi.
He was already across the bridge when Cabot was murdered.
And it's true, Sharma's still a multibillionaire without the Cemera IPO.
- But you know who isn't? - Hm? Corinne Baker.
The second largest shareholder after Sharma.
What do we know about her? Ah, well, she went to Stanford, She majored in software engineering.
She worked at Google.
She worked at Intel.
And then about six years ago she started Cemera.
And, if her press clippings are accurate, she is a relentless philanthropist on the verge of revolutionizing the medical industry.
What do you know, tech visionary with a heart of gold.
Not exactly.
An ex-boyfriend filed a restraining order against her six months ago, claiming she was stalking and harassing him.
And she was at Cabot's fundraiser, too.
Yeah, and like Sharma, she didn't stick around to talk to the cops either.
I wasn't aware there had been a shooting until after I left.
If I had known Robert was lying there dying, of course I would have stayed.
We all loved Robert.
When I told my mother what happened, we both cried for hours.
Cabot was a close friend? Our families have known each other for years, yes.
Okay, well, if that's the case, then why did Sharma have to leverage Cabot to join the Cemera board? Simple when it comes to innovation, Robert could be overly cautious.
That's a great strength to have if you're the surgeon general but crippling weakness if you work in the private sector.
So you must have been pretty angry when he didn't wanna go through with the IPO.
I don't get angry.
It's a waste of energy and doesn't serve a purpose.
That's not what your ex-boyfriend said in the body of his restraining order.
That matter's been resolved.
Look, I had nothing to do with Robert's death.
In fact, he and I had lunch the day he was killed.
Discussed the company, most recent test results.
Whatever concerns he had were put to rest.
So you're saying Cabot was back on board? Yes.
He was ready to move forward with the IPO? Yes.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
We tracked Corinne's credit card usage, found the restaurant that she and Cabot ate at.
There was video footage from inside, but there was no sound, so Cisneros offered to help us out.
Ah, thank you very much.
Any luck? My lip reading is only as good as the material I'm working with, so in this case, because of the angle, I'm only able to interpret a few of the exchanges.
Well, as my mom used to say on my birthday, something is better than nothing.
During this first part, Cabot is saying he's concerned about a road show.
Didn't wanna proceed with it.
Road show? What is that? It's when executives pitch the IPO to investors.
Corinne says she doesn't want to delay, thinks he's being too conservative.
But then, just before walking off, Cabot says something about going to the FDA.
- She looks pissed.
- Mm-hmm.
Don't blame her.
Cabot goes to the FDA, it's good-bye Cemera, good-bye IPO.
So he was threatening Corinne's future.
Maybe the ex-boyfriend was telling the truth about her temper.
Seems like motive and opportunity to me.
Let's bring her in.
[GUNSHOTS.]
This is Agent Chazal.
We need backup to our location ASAP.
Shots fired.
[ELEVATOR BELL RINGS.]
FBI! Announce yourself and step out! [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
Blood.
It's Corinne.
She's down.
Shooter's gotta still be here.
She's alive.
Get her an ambulance.
FBI! Show me your hands! We need an ambulance.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER, SIRENS.]
Excuse me, ma'am.
I just have a couple of questions on Pardon me.
Push these people farther back.
Any official statement from the department? You will get a statement once I know what we have.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER.]
What do we know? Footage from the lobby.
We think that's the shooter.
Unfortunately, his hoodie is up the whole time, - so we can't see his face.
- And Corinne? Her wounds appear to be superficial.
One to the hand, one to the shoulder.
Fact that she was knocked out cold when she fell probably saved her life.
Shooter must have thought she was dead.
And once you arrived, he ran.
Yeah, I radioed NYPD for backup the second I realized I lost him.
They set up a two block containment immediately after they arrived, but the shooter must have breached it.
Agents are canvassing the area now - for additional witnesses.
- Okay.
It looks like Corinne's attacker waited for her inside the elevator and then forced her in at gunpoint.
The shell casings are 9-millimeter, same as the ones found at the Cabot murder scene.
Bloody shoe print is a men's size 11.
Looks like after the shooter fired the first shot, he and Corinne struggled, and then after that, from what we heard, there were two more shots There must have been a shot that missed, right? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[GASPS.]
Look at this.
Get ERT over here right away to dig that out.
Okay.
Ballistics say that the bullet pulled at Corinne's was a match for the ones that killed Cabot.
- So it's the same shooter.
- We think so.
And based on the size and the style of the shoe prints and the surveillance video, we know the shooter's a male.
So if Corinne isn't the killer, who is? I don't know, but I'm guessing it has to do with Cemera.
It's the only thing that both victims have in common.
Can you think of anyone who has an axe to grind - with this company? - Hard to say.
I'm only here one or two times a month.
One of many companies I'm involved in.
Corinne mention any issues? Threats for competitors? Angry ex-employees? Well, Corinne terminated a lead technician the other day, and then she had me have my lawyers check if there was an NDA in place.
Okay, what was that employee's name? And what was Corinne's concern? Bixby.
She said that he had vandalized a scanner and then argued in front of employees.
Okay, we're gonna need all the information you have on Bixby.
As well as the access to all of Cemera - personnel and files.
- [PHONE BUZZES.]
- Whatever you need.
- Corinne is out of surgery.
Okay, thank you.
It happened so fast.
I never got a clear look at him.
All I can tell you is it was a man.
Well, the bloody footprints show that you two were within inches of each other, which indicates that you actually did get a clear look at him.
So why are you saying you didn't? I wish I could tell you more, but right now everything's foggy.
You had a confrontation two days ago with a Cemera technician named Wayne Bixby, and then he was fired.
Any chance it was him? I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
And it wasn't a confrontation.
He destroyed a scanner and started arguing with you.
That sounds like a confrontation to me.
How did you find out about that? Sharma gave us full access to Cemera.
Well, as CEO I'm rescinding it.
I want any files downloaded or taken returned immediately.
Okay, Corinne, if I were to guess, I would say that you're stonewalling us right now because you're worried about any negative press before your upcoming IPO.
I spent the last six years of my life working to redefine cancer screenings.
Our tech is proprietary, cutting edge, and revolutionary.
My company is literally going to change the world, so nothing anyone does or says is gonna stop us from moving forward.
Okay, well, we're trying to find the man who's responsible for Cabot's murder and your assault, so I would think that you'd be a little more focused on that and less on your company's future right now.
You obviously don't know me very well.
Look, we're just trying to find out whatever Sorry, no more questions.
Not without my lawyers present.
Okay, thank you.
- Wayne Bixby.
- Yeah? FBI.
Step on over.
Sir, can you hold still? Whoa, what is this about? Where were you at 2:00 p.
m.
this afternoon? Why? Because someone shot Corinne Baker.
Wait.
You think it was me? Well, she fired you after you vandalized her expensive scanner.
Yeah, that is not how that went down.
Besides, at 2:00 p.
m.
I was at a job interview at St.
Ann's over on Third Avenue.
If you don't believe me, check with them.
We will.
But since you mentioned it, why did you get fired? I signed an NDA; I can't talk about it.
We're investigating a murder here, so that's gonna supersede your NDA.
Okay, first off, I didn't destroy the scanner, okay? A patient did.
Corinne just blamed it on me because I questioned the validity of the scans.
Wait, why would a patient destroy a scanner? Because they don't work like they're supposed to.
What do you mean? Okay, the technology wasn't fully formed.
People are getting bad results.
I worked in an oncology clinic before Cemera.
I know sick people when I see 'em.
Wait, so the scans were coming back clean even if the patients weren't? Yeah, in a few instances, anyway.
And you confronted Corinne about this.
Look, I had to, okay? A patient went ballistic, said he just found out he had lung cancer again, that it already reached stage 4, okay? He would've caught it in time if it weren't for the false test results.
What did you do? What could I do? He's right.
The look in his eye, his neck tattoo, it was scary.
He kept talking about being lied to, saying that he knew Cabot, he trusted Cabot, and look where that got him.
Was his name Tommy Ward? Yeah.
Thank you.
Am I good? We done? [TIRES SQUEALING.]
We have a lead on a new suspect, name is Tommy Ward.
He works at the university as a security guard.
He was one of the witnesses listed at the crime scene, right? Yeah, he said he was the last one to talk to Cabot after the fundraiser.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Do we have a current location on him? University said he didn't show up to work today, but we're pulling up to the house now.
All right, this man has shot two people; be careful.
FBI.
Where's Tommy? - He's not here.
- Who are you? - I'm his wife.
- How long ago did he leave? About a half an hour ago.
He just told me about the cancer.
How did it come back so fast? It's important that we find him.
- Where did he go? - I don't know.
But you have to find him.
I'm afraid he might hurt himself.
What makes you say that? He took his gun with him.
Our suspect Tommy Ward is a wounded animal that wants everyone to feel his pain.
Where's he going? Does he have a hit list, or is Cemera his sole focus? Where are you on pinging his phone? It's gone dark.
He must have turned it off.
His wife said he doesn't have a car, so he's likely on foot or on the subway.
Check activity on his MetroCard.
I have agents sitting on Sharma and Corinne, and a dozen more at the main Cemera facility.
Tommy used his MetroCard 32 minutes ago at the 148th Street station.
It's the end of the 3 line, so he must be traveling south.
Okay, that doesn't go near Sharma's or the hospital.
But it does go right to the Cemera headquarters.
There's 300 employees in that building and every one a target of his rage.
That's where he's going.
He'd have to exit at Houston.
I got him leaving Houston Street station two minutes ago.
Walking towards Cemera.
Maggie and OA are at Cemera.
Have them intercept him before he gets to those employees.
On it.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
What's the deal? Sorry.
Did he get past us? No, there he is.
Tommy.
[GUNSHOT.]
[CROWD SCREAMING.]
Hey, FBI.
Put the gun down.
Move.
Put down the weapon! FBI! You move any closer, and I'll shoot him.
You don't wanna do that, Tommy.
We know what Cemera did, okay? This guy has nothing to do with that.
- He doesn't deserve to die.
- I don't deserve to die! Me! I trusted Cabot! He's the one who put me in the Cemera trial.
I thought he was looking out for me.
But nobody tells the truth anymore! Cabot was not trying to cover this up.
The exact opposite, he was about to blow the whistle.
Come on, Tommy, do the right thing.
Put the gun down and let him go.
I just want the people of Cemera to pay for what they did to me for what they did to the others.
Now what, I'm just supposed to die a slow, painful death in prison? No, it doesn't have to be that.
This is not a better alternative.
Look around.
This isn't gonna end well.
Come on, let him go.
Tommy! [TIRES SCREECH.]
Tommy! - Oh, God! - Ah! Did you see that? [PANTING.]
Come on, don't look.
Okay, thanks.
Hey, did we notify Tommy Ward's wife? Yeah, we did.
Wasn't easy, but his actions put a spotlight on Cemera, so I guess there's a silver lining there.
Yeah.
I think we should track down all of the patients that got scanned, make sure they see a real doctor and fast.
Yeah, we're putting a list together right now.
We have 785 names so far.
I mean, God knows how many of those are misdiagnosed.
Well, if there's anything I can do to help Um, yeah, there is.
I wanna arrest Corinne.
But you know how hard it is to prove fraud.
I know, but I've got five employees who are willing to testify that Corinne knew the tech didn't work.
Then what the hell are you waiting for? Corinne.
Thanks for everything.
I'd shake your hand, but We need to talk.
I'm late to a meeting, but perhaps next week we could No, I don't think so.
We have evidence that you've defrauded investors, doctors, and patients.
Wayne Bixby and six other Cemera employees are speaking with our fraud investigators right now.
You're not going anywhere.
You're under arrest.
Startups have missteps.
That's part of innovation.
I was trying to move forward, trying to save people's lives.
No, Robert Cabot was trying to save people's lives.
And now, thanks to you, he's dead.
- This way, ma'am.
- This is ridiculous.
It's just it's a misunderstanding.
Everything's under control.
I didn't do anything illegal.
Don't listen to Everything's under control.
I don't get it.
If her whole purpose is to save lives, why did she knowingly put so many people at risk? 'Cause Corinne's a liar only cares about her name and her brand.
I guess in some lines of work you can get away with that but not when people's lives are at risk.
[SOLEMN MUSIC.]
Hey, Baba.
Thank you for coming.
I didn't wanna do this over the phone.
- Everything okay? - Yeah, yeah.
It's about Ryan.
I talked to the guy who's doing his background at Newark PD.
And? They're not gonna hire him.
You didn't support him on this? I did.
I told him what a great guy Ryan is, but I expressed my concerns about his ability to be a cop.
Why would you do that? Because it's the truth.
Look, I love Ryan, of course, and I would do anything to help him.
But I wasn't confident in recommending him for this particular job.
Being a cop's no joke.
People's lives are at risk.
I'm sorry.
