- So who is this guy exactly?
He's an industrial
developer based in Paris.
And this is where he wanted to meet?
Look, I already wined and dined him.
He just wants to meet you and talk shop.
That's it.
Which we could easily do at the office.
You sure this guy's on the up and up?
Because if this is some
sort of backroom deal,
- I don't want any part of it.
- Just relax, okay?
- Who are those guys?
- Who?
Those guys keep looking over at us.
You're always so paranoid.
- Come on.
- I'm serious.
Let's double back.
Okay, sure.
You gotta be kidding me.

What do we got?
Rome. David Laporta, 50 years old.
CEO of ANITEC Global,
a top industrial engineering firm
with offices in Qatar, Rome, and NYC.
He and his business partner,
Tommaso Costa, Italian citizen,
went out to meet with
a client last night,
and neither made it back.
It's only been a few hours.
How do we know there's foul play?
Costa's body was found
shot three times at close range.
Huh, that'll do it.
ANITEC does a lot of
work for oil refineries.
- Is that was this is about? Oil?
- Could be.
Italian state police is
investigating the homicide,
but they've requested our
help in locating Mr. Laporta.
As a victim or a suspect?
For what it's worth, his
record is squeaky clean.
Successful. Respected in his field.
No criminal connections.
So they execute Costa but take Laporta.
Maybe they need him for something.
- That's weird.
- What?
The FBI already ran a
background check on Laporta
three days before he went missing.
Who put in the request?
Looks like
Jubal Valentine.
He's the ASAC in New York, right?
- Yes, he is.
- I'll put in a call to 26 Fed.
You can do it on the way.
Smitty's already on the ground.
Let's go to Rome.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Here they are.
Inspector Granno.
You come highly recommended
by your Europol
liaison, Agent Forrester.
Well, thank you. Likewise.
I've heard about your team's exploits.
Exploits?
It's only based on Ms.
Garretson's insistence
that we are granting the FBI permission
to join this investigation.
Okay. Any luck finding any witnesses?
No, this area is usually
quite empty after dark.
The two men do appear together
briefly on security cameras
but only when they were
closer to the Colosseum.
David Laporta's phone
has been turned off
or possibly destroyed,
so we haven't been able to track him.
Tommaso Costa was found here.
His phone and wallet were still on him?
Yes. Two shots to the
chest, one to the head.
It doesn't seem like a robbery.
More like a professional hit.
And they knew exactly
how to avoid the cameras.
Does this MO line up with any
recent organized crime activity?
This isn't the movies.
Not every crime in Italy
has a mafia connection.
What the hell is his problem?
I'm working on it.
How about a ransom demand?
Nothing yet.
We have the phones tapped
and a hostage negotiator
- standing by with the wife.
- All right.
Raines, Kellett, you take his office.
Vo and I will head to his house.
I'd like to speak to
Mrs. Laporta myself.
With your permission,
of course, Inspector.
Thank you.
Something terrible happened. I know it.
He would never just disappear.
I know that this is difficult,
but the best thing
that we can do right now
is resist the urge to speculate.
The Italian detectives think he's dead.
I don't believe that he is.
Not without evidence, okay?
[SIGHS] Okay.
Can you think of anyone in David's life
who might wish him harm?
No.
He's a good man, a good husband.
Honest, considerate.
Any financial problems?
Recent changes in David's behavior
that you may have noticed?
No, he doesn't gamble.
He doesn't do drugs.
How about at work?
Any problems there?
Maybe he's been a little more
stressed than usual, but
he never wants to worry
me with the specifics.
He's an engineer at
heart, not a businessman.
He never expected to run
an international company.
Tommaso was the one with the ambition.
- He and Mr. Costa were close?
- Oh, yes.
They've been best friends
for forever. [SNIFFLES]
[STAMMERING] Or they were.
God, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'm just gonna ask
you one more question.
Did he say anything about
who he was meeting last night?
Only that they were
meeting a potential client.
But you should talk to
Sabrina, his assistant.
She knows everything that
goes on at that office.
Thank you. That's all we need for now.
The Italian police are
gonna stay with you,
but we will be in touch the
instant that we know anything.
Please find my husband.
Yes, ma'am.
[SIGHS]
Any reply from Jubal Valentine?
-
- [SIGHS] Not yet.
New York must have their
hands full with something big.
You know, around the corner,
there's a little place that
serves a pistachio gelato
that I still have dreams about.
We bring back Laporta, my treat.
Ms. Kellett, Mr. Raines, I'm Sabrina,
Mr. Laporta and Mr.
Costa's executive assistant.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
The office is right this way.
We sent everyone home to
be with their families,
but if you need to talk to anyone,
I'm happy to call them back in.
That won't be necessary.
We just have a few
questions for you, actually.
Right.
David and Tommaso were here working
until about 7:00 or so last night.
When I heard what happened,
I made sure absolutely
nothing was touched,
although I did use David's computer.
We're hoping you could tell
us which potential client
he was meeting with last night.
[SIGHS] I wish I knew.
Tommaso arranged that meeting himself.
- Is that unusual?
- Yes.
I've made it clear I don't
like being left out of the loop,
but, uh, it happens.
Is there someplace else
we could find that client?
- Emails?
- You can look.
But I see all their work correspondence,
and there's nothing.
David's wife said he
seemed stressed lately.
Can you tell us what that was about?
David and Tommaso didn't always
see eye to eye about the business.
Did it ever get heated?
No. No, nothing like that.
They've done hundreds of projects
together without a problem.
Sabrina, if there's
anything you can tell us
Um
About a year ago,
I overheard a call.
Italian officials contacted David.
Apparently, the Taliban had
discussed some sort of plan
to kidnap an American
structural engineer
and use him to bring down buildings.
His name had come up, so
they wanted to warn him.
David was horrified.
He blamed Tommaso and his big mouth
for getting him mixed up in all that.
Alessia didn't mention any of this.
He probably didn't want to worry her.
The criminals were apprehended,
maybe, two days later.
The whole thing blew over.
By the end, they were laughing about it.
Tommaso joked that
with David's knowledge,
he would've made one
hell of a terrorist.
You think that's what this is about?
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
♪
There's been no ransom demand,
and I don't expect one.
I believe that David Laporta was taken
because he knows how to destroy
the things that he builds.
Over the past 20 years,
the company's been involved
with hundreds of gas and oil projects
across Europe, North
America, and the Middle East.
- Anyone could be a target.
- Based on what?
The emails of men who are now in prison?
The Taliban kidnapping never
left the planning stage.
It was disrupted.
But it could've been
revived by someone else.
My theory is that Costa inadvertently
told the story to the wrong person,
and somebody liked the idea.
That would be convenient for you.
What is that supposed to mean?
Your assumption this is
connected to something bigger
is wishful thinking
an excuse for the FBI
to widen its involvement.
I'm not trying to impress you.
I am trying to get you to take
a potential terror threat seriously.
Ah, more American arrogance.
Okay, please, let's just stay focused.
It's just a theory, but there's no harm
in letting Agent Forrest
run it down now, is there?
- Fine.
- Great.
We'll start looking into
Laporta's recent projects.
And I can dig into
Costa's contacts as well.
Hey. Sorry to interrupt.
I think I got something.
I went back through the security footage
from around the Colosseum,
looking not only at the night
of Laporta's disappearance
but the previous 72 hours,
and I keep seeing the same gentleman.
Each of the three nights, same time.
- He's casing the place.
- How do we know
he's not just some merchant
who works in the area?
Could be, but look how careful
he is to avoid the cameras.
Never gives us a good
enough image for facial rec.
And on the last day,
he brought these two guys with him.
All right, great. We
finally have a suspect.
You got more than that.
You got two jetlagged
agents from New York.
- Jubal?
- Sorry I missed your call.
- We were in the air.
- Long time no see.
I didn't know they let the
old guys out of the JOC.
Ah, well, what am I gonna
do, trust you kids out here
on vacation to get anything done?
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Hey, you too.
This is Special Agent Nina Chase.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
So what are you two doing in Rome?
We were working the same
case as you are, it seems.
Right, so back in New York,
we got someone working
undercover, Agent Scola.
And he is trying to
pin down a foreign buyer
who's looking to acquire
industrial-grade explosives.
And the name David Laporta
popped up on the wires
that Scola had planted.
We didn't think anything of it then,
but now that Laporta's
gone and disappeared,
we think that it's connected.
Okay, and you two are here in person,
so you must think this
is an imminent threat.
Could be weeks, could be days,
but yeah, someone wants to hit New York.
Is this the buyer you've been tracking?
The one looking for explosives?
Unfortunately, we don't know.
We don't have a description or a name.
We don't know what they're
looking to blow up or why.
We just know somebody
wants enough damn C-4 to make a bomb.
And he's using Laporta
to plan the attack.
♪
This is no longer
just a kidnapping case.
We are now looking at the possibility
- of an imminent terror attack.
- That's right.
And the target is likely one
of the major infrastructure projects
that Laporta's firm designed.
That would mean his
abductors need him alive.
And that gives us a window,
but it could close at any time.
So we need to find him fast.
Based on intel from
Agent Scola in the field,
the C-4 is likely to
be used in New York City
or somewhere along the eastern seaboard.
So let's, uh, narrow that down, huh?
Yeah, I've been digging
into Laporta's projects,
searching for potential
targets in that area,
but there really isn't any
at least not in the last five years.
Okay. Well, keep digging into that.
- I can jump in on that too.
- Okay, good.
The rest of us will focus
on locating Laporta himself.
Now, our best lead is still
the man in the video footage.
- Jamie, what do you got?
- Not a lot.
Nobody in the area around
the Colosseum recognizes him,
so we're pretty sure he's not local.
But without a better image,
we can't run him in the databases.
You know what, let's send
that footage over to 26 Fed.
Maybe my analysts will surprise us.
- They have a way of doing that.
- Good.
Raines, you were looking into Costa.
Did you find anything on his phone?
Calls came into his cell
from an unknown number three times
in the two hours leading
up to the meeting.
That could be the potential client
setting the place and time.
Right. So whose number is it?
That's the problem.
I requested call records
from the Italian state
police several hours ago,
but there's some sort of delay.
What, are they taking
a wine and gelato break?
Okay. Everybody, let's work together.
Keep communicating, and we find our guy.
We do whatever it takes.
- Hey, Scott.
- Yeah?
Uh, several hours for the phone number,
is that normal over here?
Um, no.
No, this seems more
like a deliberate holdup.
Can we go around them?
- Not legally.
- Who do I talk to?
'Cause I'd very much like
to have that conversation.
We don't talk to anybody.
We let our Europol
liaison run interference.
Look, Jubal, I know.
This is not like it is back home.
We are guests in their country.
We work on their terms.
Okay, but, uh,
doing whatever it takes doesn't
usually include waiting around.
- Hey, what's up?
- I just wanted to make sure
you got the image of our suspect.
Yes, I just got it.
Ian and Kelly are running it now.
Okay, great.
Is there something else?
Uh, just wanted to know if
you heard any other news.
Nope. We're just digging in.
Just still trying to
figure out what's going on.
Okay, uh, and you
haven't heard from Scola?
I-I texted him a few hours ago, but
Well, I haven't heard from
him, but that's to be expected.
He's under. You know what that's like.
Yeah, of course.
Listen, all we can do
is trust that he is okay,
and he will call when he has something.
I understand. Thank you.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Got your text. You're in Rome?
Yeah. Crazy, right?
Wow, what's even crazier
is this Laporta guy
getting abducted out there.
I mean, what the hell is going on?
We assume he knows something
about a potential target, but
All right. Well, keep me in the loop.
I will.
Look, we probably
shouldn't risk reaching out,
so, uh, be careful.
- Okay?
- Yeah. No, you too.
You know, you, um
you got a lot going on right now, so
I'm good. I promise.
Okay. I'll talk to you soon.
[SIGHS]
I know. I'm doing what I can.
How long can one warrant
for phone records take?
Another few hours, apparently.
They helped us to solve the
murder of an American in Milan.
- What has changed?
- I've been asking around.
But all Europol will
say is, and I quote,
"In light of the
Americans' recent tactics,
they're lucky to be consulted at all."
Recent tactics? What
the hell does that mean?
If I knew, I would surely tell you.
Well, we better figure something out,
because I'm telling you,
Agent Valentine is
climbing up the walls.
Well, keep him away from the inspector.
For some reason, the
more I push this guy,
the more he wants to shut us down.
Well, we don't have time to play nice,
and neither does David Laporta.
- Jubal.
- Yeah?
Let's go.
We'll handle this ourselves.
[SIGHS]
This is everything.
I printed every monthly
bill for the last five years.
If they made a business call
to that number, it should be in there.
Okay, this is perfect. Thank you.
Tommaso meets with a lot of people
anyone who might lead to new business.
Wouldn't be faster just
to ask the phone company?
Yes. Yes, it would.
Wait. Okay, here we go.
Costa called the same
number three months ago.
- What's the date?
- Uh, the 12th, 7:13 p.m.
Can you check if you have a record
for who he met with that day or night?
According to my calendar,
Tommaso was in Minsk.
He was having drinks that night
with someone named Dmitriy Dovhal.
Dmitriy Dovhal. D-O-V-H-A-L.
He's a Belarusian national.
Occupation listed as consultant.
Okay, do you know anything
else about this guy?
Nothing, but I can look
in Tommaso's contacts.
Yes, please.
Bingo. He's in Rome.
He flew into Fiumicino
Airport three days ago.
Okay, okay.
This has gotta be our guy, right?
He's the client.
He set up a fake meeting with Costa
so that Laporta could be abducted.
Well, he's not our guy
in the Colosseum footage,
but he's definitely our best lead.
I have an address for
Mr. Dovhal here in Rome.
- Okay.
- [CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]
Thank you.
It's this one, right? Is anybody home?
Lights on, but no sign of movement.
Now, watch the back in case he runs.

[SIGHS]
There goes our lead.
Two in the chest, one in the head.
♪
Damn it.
Ballistics matched
the previous shooting.
Looks like the kidnappers
are doing everything they can
to cover their tracks.
Dumping the setup guy.
You got it. Same with Costa.
They get unsuspecting middlemen
to make the arrangements
and then kill them off.
You talk to the neighbors?
No one saw anyone coming or going,
but Dovhal's been driving a silver SUV.
It's been parked out front
for the last couple days,
but now there's no sign of it.
Maybe the killers left in it.
How late were we? The
killers were just here.
How much do you think we missed 'em by?
Based on a melted teapot,
so it's not exact science,
but I guess less than two hours.
Okay, so if it weren't for the delay,
we'd have Dovhal alive.
- That's hard to say.
- Nope.
No, I'm sorry, but the reality is
this lead is dead over
a simple phone search.
What's going on?
What's going on is we should have
a cooperating witness right now
instead of another body for the morgue,
and somebody somebody
needs to own that.
Jubal, listen to me.
Hey, hey. You need to calm down.
- [LAUGHS] Don't
- Let me handle this.
There's only so much we can push
until this comes back to bite us.
That's not good enough, Scott.
If you need to throw some elbows, do it,
'cause I'm not gonna
have the same conversation
over David Laporta's body,
or Agent Scola's,
or the next damn ground zero.
Hey, tell me everything
there is to know about this DOA.
All right. His name is Dmitriy Dovhal.
He's a low-level political operative
and a Belarusian citizen.
He makes frequent trips
across Southern Europe,
keeping an apartment in each place,
then reports back to the
officials in his country.
Sounds an awful lot like a spy.
Yeah.
Well, the intel community
should be able to confirm that.
I'll loop in Isobel.
Maybe we know more about
this guy than we realize.
[PHONE RINGING]
- Hey, what do you got?
- Hey, so listen.
There's a chance the players
on this thing are from Belarus.
All right, well, that's
better than nothing.
Start running screens.
See if any of the people
we've been circling
have any connection to Belarus.
Listen, the last time I spoke to Scola,
he mentioned something about a meeting
with a big boss three weeks ago.
It didn't mean much,
but what if that big boss
flew in from Belarus for the meeting?
- Yeah, that's possible.
- All right.
I'll compile a list of people
who entered the tri-state area
from Belarus three weeks
ago, plus or minus a week.
That's great.
Who knew that many people
from Belarus visit New York?
It's incredible.
I mean, if the over/under was 200,
I would've chosen the under.
Check this out.
Hey, guys, we got something.
- That's him.
- All right.
Stanislau Lenkov.
A general in the
Belarusian armed forces.
I mean, that can't be right.
A government official is involved
in the kidnapping of an
American on European soil?
Yeah, but why? I mean,
what's Lenkov's motive?
We need to bring in all
the agencies on this.
Do you know anyone at
the State Department?
The State Department or the CIA?
Pia. Jubal, this is Pia Morgan.
Nice to meet you, Agent Valentine.
You too. So you are one of our
trusted diplomatic contacts?
Yes, I'd say that.
General Lenkov has strong ties
to the president of Belarus
and is an ally of Putin.
All right, so what can the CIA tell us
that we can't read in the newspaper?
General Lenkov has
spent the last 18 months
running black ops in Ukraine,
helping the Russian army.
His team have developed
something of a reputation
as a thorn in the side of our
allies in the conflict there.
Ruthless and effective, we believe
that they were on the ground
for the Bucha Massacre.
Okay, so what does this have to do
with a structural engineer in Rome?
- Strictly between us?
- Of course.
I think this whole abduction/
murder/terror attack
you boys have stumbled into
is linked with a covert
operation in Minsk.
In Minsk? Okay, what kind of operation?
Three months ago, Lenkov's
entire nine-man team
was struck down by a drone strike.
A family wedding.
Over 20 dead, including
Lenkov's own daughter.
Somehow, the general managed
to step outside the
blast radius and survived.
A drone strike by who?
Ukraine, I should think.
With U.S. intel and weapons?
The new switchblade drones
that we just supplied them?
- Rome is amazing, isn't it?
- Come on.
We're gonna hit on a
Belarusian general in Belarus
with civilian casualties?
Come on, the EU would
never sign off on that.
And we would never ask them to.
Either way, Lenkov's daughter
and his top soldiers were killed,
and he blames America.
Which makes for one hell
of a motive to strike back.
You know, we've been, um,
focusing on the obvious targets
landmarks and bridges
but honestly,
it's the boring stuff that scares me.
Before Laporta started ANITEC,
he was working on electrical stations
and natural gas lines.
Well, maybe the undercover Agent Scola
will bring us something, huh?
Yeah, maybe.
You two are close, huh?
Uh, yeah, why?
You seem worried.
Do I?
I'm not usually anxious,
but maybe it's the hormones or
worrying for two.
He's the father?
Mm.
He's really important to me,
and, uh,
I want him in our baby's life.
I don't know, when I was
assigned to come out here,
I thought it could be
good to have some distance
and gain some perspective
on whether or not we could make it work.
Now I'm just feeling a
little more conflicted.
Hey, where's Smitty?
I'm not sure.
Is your department dragging your feet
to settle some sort of political score?
I don't know what you're speaking of.
Whatever beef is going on
between Europe and the U.S.,
whatever happened in Minsk,
that is not my fault.
That is not the FBI's fault,
and it sure as hell is
not David Laporta's fault.
Your partner, Valentine, has no respect.
He mocks my investigation.
I don't appreciate his
way of doing business.
I don't care!
It is our duty to set
aside our differences
to get this investigation done,
because we're not gonna
lose a kidnapping victim
and we're not gonna let a bomb go off!
Very well.
Then you should see this.
We just received a possible location
on Dmitriy Dovhal's car.
It hasn't been verified.
We're on it.
Anything you find,
you report back to me.
My team will take it from there.
Understood.
Dovhal's silver SUV was a rental.
Its GPS locator puts it
somewhere in this area,
but it's pretty densely packed.
Lenkov's crew used his
car after they killed him.
It could lead us right to Laporta.
All right, fan out.
Keep it tight and quiet.
Call it out when you got eyes,
but nobody moves until we're green.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
A silver car.
- Yeah, that's it.
- Call it in.
Uh-huh.
Hey. Hey, it's Jubal.
We got eyes on the car.
It's two blocks west of where we were,
and two blocks south.
FBI. Don't move.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
- Lenkov, where is he?
-
No, no, no. It's not my car.
Just want to see it. It's nice.
Do you know whose car it
is? Huh? [SPEAKS ITALIAN]
No, no, I swear.
Where's the driver? Autista?
That apartment, 302.
That's where he lives.
What's the play?
I think we gotta breach.
And we need to go full tilt.
If Laporta is being held inside,
good chance everyone else in
there is armed and dangerous.
That's a big if.
We've got one random guy's word
that that is the place.
So we wait for the Italian PD
to authorize a no-knock
at the rate they're moving?
I said I'd keep them updated.
Okay, but we could be
running out of time.
That's the one thing
Laporta does not have.
How long can we expect
this guy to hold out?
I don't like it.
I hear you, Scott, I do,
but we have been keeping
things diplomatic,
and where has it gotten us?
It's time to switch things up.

It's just a family home.
The car was Dovhal's,
but there's no sign of
Laporta or the general.
They were never here.
♪
As we suspected,
the family claims to have no knowledge
of Lenkov or his crew.
Okay, I'd like can
we interview the family?
I don't think that's a good idea.
You kicked in the man's door
and terrified his family.
He's furious.
If you ask me, it appears
that the Belarusians took Dovhal's car
and ditched it here at random.
Well, Lenkov is smart.
He knew it was a rental
and we'd eventually be able to track it.
He deliberately led us
on this wild goose chase.
Okay, but what about the
guy lurking by the car
who led us directly into
that specific apartment?
We're trying to relocate
him, but Granno believes
he was just telling you what
he thought you wanted to hear.
Okay, well, tell Granno we'll
come to our own conclusions.
This is it, you know? Right here.

which caused this whole

And I was wrong.
I take responsibility for that.
Look, it was the only lead we had,

And that only works if
we're doing it together.
- I agree.
- All right.
Guys, we got another crime scene.
Somebody hit the ANITEC offices.
Oh, God.
Excuse me.
What happened?
Lenkov's men came through.
They needed something from the files.
I just hid in the back. I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to
do. They would've killed me.
It's okay. You're safe now.
- What are we looking at?
- Well, these files are old.
I mean, from years ago, before
Laporta's company ever opened.
I mean, we didn't have any of this.
But is there any way to tell
what they were looking for?
Uh, these are huge files.
Blueprints, uh
It looks like they
uploaded the entire drive.
Uploaded to where?
If we can get an IP
address on the file server,
maybe we can find Lenkov's location.
Only if his computer guys
were sloppy and in a hurry.
Well, I guess it's possible.
His first team was killed
in the drone strike.
These would be his replacements.
Okay, I got it.
- The place is locked down.
- How many can you see?
Three guards at the
front door, heavily armed.
This must be where
Laporta is being held.
Extracting Laporta will likely require
taking on a team of nine
well-armed mercenaries.
We need FBI tactical support.
How long will it take
to get a team here?
I think we are the team.
I was afraid you'd say that.
What about the Italians?
You think they'll provide support?
I feel we may have burned that bridge.
Inspector, it's all hands on deck.
We could stop a terror

He and his business partner,

went out to meet with
a client last night,
and neither made it back.
It's only been a few hours.
How do we know there's foul play?
Costa's body was found

Huh, that'll do it.
ANITEC does a lot of

Here they are.
Inspector Granno.
You come highly recommended
by your Europol

Well, thank you. Likewise.
I've heard about your team's exploits.
Exploits?
It's only based on Ms.
Garretson's insistence
that we are granting the FBI permission
to join this investigation.
Okay. Any luck finding any witnesses?
No, this area is usually
quite empty after dark.
The two men do appear together
briefly on security cameras
but only when they were
closer to the Colosseum.
David Laporta's phone
has been turned off
or possibly destroyed,
so we haven't been able to track him.
Tommaso Costa was found here.
His phone and wallet were still on him?
Yes. Two shots to the
chest, one to the head.
It doesn't seem like a robbery.
More like a professional hit.
And they knew exactly
how to avoid the cameras.
Does this MO line up with any
recent organized crime activity?
This isn't the movies.
Not every crime in Italy
has a mafia connection.
What the hell is his problem?
I'm working on it.
How about a ransom demand?
Nothing yet.
We have the phones tapped
and a hostage negotiator

Something terrible happened. I know it.
He would never just disappear.

No.

No, he doesn't gamble.
He doesn't do drugs.

I'm happy to call them back in.
That won't be necessary.
We just have a few
questions for you, actually.
Right.
David and Tommaso were here working
until about 7:00 or so last night.
When I heard what happened,
I made sure absolutely
nothing was touched,
although I did use David's computer.
We're hoping you could tell
us which potential client
he was meeting with last night.
[SIGHS] I wish I knew.
Tommaso arranged that meeting himself.
- Is that unusual?
- Yes.
I've made it clear I don't
like being left out of the loop,
but, uh, it happens.
Is there someplace else
we could find that client?
- Emails?
- You can look.
But I see all their work correspondence,
and there's nothing.
David's wife said he
seemed stressed lately.
Can you tell us what that was about?
David and Tommaso didn't always
see eye to eye about the business.
Did it ever get heated?
No. No, nothing like that.
They've done hundreds of projects
together without a problem.
Sabrina, if there's
anything you can tell us
Um
About a year ago,
I overheard a call.
Italian officials contacted David.
Apparently, the Taliban had
discussed some sort of plan
to kidnap an American
structural engineer
and use him to bring down buildings.
His name had come up, so
they wanted to warn him.
David was horrified.
He blamed Tommaso and his big mouth
for getting him mixed up in all that.
Alessia didn't mention any of this.
He probably didn't want to worry her.
The criminals were apprehended,
maybe, two days later.
The whole thing blew over.
By the end, they were laughing about it.
Tommaso joked that
with David's knowledge,
he would've made one
hell of a terrorist.
You think that's what this is about?
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
♪
There's been no ransom demand,
and I don't expect one.
I believe that David Laporta was taken
because he knows how to destroy
the things that he builds.
Over the past 20 years,
the company's been involved
with hundreds of gas and oil projects
across Europe, North
America, and the Middle East.
- Anyone could be a target.
- Based on what?
The emails of men who are now in prison?
The Taliban kidnapping never
left the planning stage.
It was disrupted.
But it could've been
revived by someone else.
My theory is that Costa inadvertently
told the story to the wrong person,
and somebody liked the idea.
That would be convenient for you.
What is that supposed to mean?
Your assumption this is
connected to something bigger
is wishful thinking
an excuse for the FBI
to widen its involvement.
I'm not trying to impress you.
I am trying to get you to take
a potential terror threat seriously.
Ah, more American arrogance.
Okay, please, let's just stay focused.
It's just a theory, but there's no harm
in letting Agent Forrest
run it down now, is there?
- Fine.
- Great.
We'll start looking into
Laporta's recent projects.
And I can dig into
Costa's contacts as well.
Hey. Sorry to interrupt.
I think I got something.
I went back through the security footage
from around the Colosseum,
looking not only at the night
of Laporta's disappearance
but the previous 72 hours,
and I keep seeing the same gentleman.
Each of the three nights, same time.
- He's casing the place.
- How do we know
he's not just some merchant
who works in the area?
Could be, but look how careful
he is to avoid the cameras.
Never gives us a good
enough image for facial rec.
And on the last day,
he brought these two guys with him.
All right, great. We
finally have a suspect.
You got more than that.
You got two jetlagged
agents from New York.
- Jubal?
- Sorry I missed your call.
- We were in the air.
- Long time no see.
I didn't know they let the
old guys out of the JOC.
Ah, well, what am I gonna
do, trust you kids out here
on vacation to get anything done?
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.
Hey, you too.
This is Special Agent Nina Chase.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
So what are you two doing in Rome?
We were working the same
case as you are, it seems.
Right, so back in New York,
we got someone working
undercover, Agent Scola.
And he is trying to
pin down a foreign buyer
who's looking to acquire
industrial-grade explosives.
And the name David Laporta
popped up on the wires
that Scola had planted.
We didn't think anything of it then,
but now that Laporta's
gone and disappeared,
we think that it's connected.
Okay, and you two are here in person,
so you must think this
is an imminent threat.
Could be weeks, could be days,
but yeah, someone wants to hit New York.
Is this the buyer you've been tracking?
The one looking for explosives?
Unfortunately, we don't know.
We don't have a description or a name.
We don't know what they're
looking to blow up or why.
We just know somebody
wants enough damn C-4 to make a bomb.
And he's using Laporta
to plan the attack.
♪
This is no longer
just a kidnapping case.
We are now looking at the possibility
- of an imminent terror attack.
- That's right.
And the target is likely one
of the major infrastructure projects
that Laporta's firm designed.
That would mean his
abductors need him alive.
And that gives us a window,
but it could close at any time.
So we need to find him fast.
Based on intel from
Agent Scola in the field,
the C-4 is likely to
be used in New York City
or somewhere along the eastern seaboard.
So let's, uh, narrow that down, huh?
Yeah, I've been digging
into Laporta's projects,
searching for potential
targets in that area,
but there really isn't any
at least not in the last five years.
Okay. Well, keep digging into that.
- I can jump in on that too.
- Okay, good.
The rest of us will focus
on locating Laporta himself.
Now, our best lead is still
the man in the video footage.
- Jamie, what do you got?
- Not a lot.
Nobody in the area around
the Colosseum recognizes him,
so we're pretty sure he's not local.
But without a better image,
we can't run him in the databases.
You know what, let's send
that footage over to 26 Fed.
Maybe my analysts will surprise us.
- They have a way of doing that.
- Good.
Raines, you were looking into Costa.
Did you find anything on his phone?
Calls came into his cell
from an unknown number three times
in the two hours leading
up to the meeting.
That could be the potential client
setting the place and time.
Right. So whose number is it?
That's the problem.
I requested call records
from the Italian state
police several hours ago,
but there's some sort of delay.
What, are they taking
a wine and gelato break?
Okay. Everybody, let's work together.
Keep communicating, and we find our guy.
We do whatever it takes.
- Hey, Scott.
- Yeah?
Uh, several hours for the phone number,
is that normal over here?
Um, no.
No, this seems more
like a deliberate holdup.
Can we go around them?
- Not legally.
- Who do I talk to?
'Cause I'd very much like
to have that conversation.
We don't talk to anybody.
We let our Europol
liaison run interference.
Look, Jubal, I know.
This is not like it is back home.

but what if that big boss
flew in from Belarus for the meeting?
- Yeah, that's possible.
- All right.
I'll compile a list of people
who entered the tri-state area
from Belarus three weeks
ago, plus or minus a week.
That's great.
Who knew that many people
from Belarus visit New York?
It's incredible.
I mean, if the over/under was 200,
I would've chosen the under.
Check this out.
Hey, guys, we got something.
- That's him.
- All right.
Stanislau Lenkov.
A general in the
Belarusian armed forces.
I mean, that can't be right.
A government official is involved
in the kidnapping of an
American on European soil?
Yeah, but why? I mean,
what's Lenkov's motive?
We need to bring in all
the agencies on this.
Do you know anyone at
the State Department?
The State Department or the CIA?
Pia. Jubal, this is Pia Morgan.
Nice to meet you, Agent Valentine.
You too. So you are one of our
trusted diplomatic contacts?
Yes, I'd say that.
General Lenkov has strong ties
to the president of Belarus
and is an ally of Putin.
All right, so what can the CIA tell us
that we can't read in the newspaper?
General Lenkov has
spent the last 18 months
running black ops in Ukraine,
helping the Russian army.
His team have developed
something of a reputation
as a thorn in the side of our
allies in the conflict there.
Ruthless and effective, we believe
that they were on the ground
for the Bucha Massacre.
Okay, so what does this have to do
with a structural engineer in Rome?
- Strictly between us?
- Of course.
I think this whole abduction/
murder/terror attack
you boys have stumbled into
is linked with a covert
operation in Minsk.
In Minsk? Okay, what kind of operation?
Three months ago, Lenkov's
entire nine-man team
was struck down by a drone strike.
A family wedding.
Over 20 dead, including
Lenkov's own daughter.
Somehow, the general managed
to step outside the
blast radius and survived.
A drone strike by who?
Ukraine, I should think.
With U.S. intel and weapons?
The new switchblade drones
that we just supplied them?
- Rome is amazing, isn't it?
- Come on.
We're gonna hit on a
Belarusian general in Belarus
with civilian casualties?
Come on, the EU would
never sign off on that.
And we would never ask them to.
Either way, Lenkov's daughter
and his top soldiers were killed,
and he blames America.
Which makes for one hell
of a motive to strike back.
You know, we've been, um,
focusing on the obvious targets
landmarks and bridges
but honestly,
it's the boring stuff that scares me.
Before Laporta started ANITEC,
he was working on electrical stations
and natural gas lines.
Well, maybe the undercover Agent Scola
will bring us something, huh?
Yeah, maybe.
You two are close, huh?
Uh, yeah, why?
You seem worried.
Do I?
I'm not usually anxious,
but maybe it's the hormones or
worrying for two.
He's the father?
Mm.
He's really important to me,
and, uh,
I want him in our baby's life.
I don't know, when I was
assigned to come out here,
I thought it could be
good to have some distance
and gain some perspective
on whether or not we could make it work.
Now I'm just feeling a
little more conflicted.
Hey, where's Smitty?
I'm not sure.
Is your department dragging your feet
to settle some sort of political score?
I don't know what you're speaking of.
Whatever beef is going on
between Europe and the U.S.,
whatever happened in Minsk,
that is not my fault.
That is not the FBI's fault,
and it sure as hell is
not David Laporta's fault.
Your partner, Valentine, has no respect.
He mocks my investigation.
I don't appreciate his
way of doing business.
I don't care!
It is our duty to set
aside our differences
to get this investigation done,
because we're not gonna
lose a kidnapping victim
and we're not gonna let a bomb go off!
Very well.
Then you should see this.
We just received a possible location
on Dmitriy Dovhal's car.
It hasn't been verified.
We're on it.
Anything you find,
you report back to me.
My team will take it from there.
Understood.
Dovhal's silver SUV was a rental.
Its GPS locator puts it
somewhere in this area,
but it's pretty densely packed.
Lenkov's crew used his
car after they killed him.
It could lead us right to Laporta.
All right, fan out.
Keep it tight and quiet.
Call it out when you got eyes,
but nobody moves until we're green.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

A silver car.
- Yeah, that's it.
- Call it in.
Uh-huh.
Hey. Hey, it's Jubal.
We got eyes on the car.
It's two blocks west of where we were,
and two blocks south.
FBI. Don't move.
[SPEAKING ITALIAN]
- Lenkov, where is he?
-
No, no, no. It's not my car.
Just want to see it. It's nice.
Do you know whose car it
is? Huh? [SPEAKS ITALIAN]
No, no, I swear.
Where's the driver? Autista?
That apartment, 302.
That's where he lives.
What's the play?
I think we gotta breach.
And we need to go full tilt.
If Laporta is being held inside,
good chance everyone else in
there is armed and dangerous.
That's a big if.
We've got one random guy's word
that that is the place.
So we wait for the Italian PD
to authorize a no-knock
at the rate they're moving?
I said I'd keep them updated.
Okay, but we could be
running out of time.
That's the one thing
Laporta does not have.
How long can we expect
this guy to hold out?
I don't like it.
I hear you, Scott, I do,
but we have been keeping
things diplomatic,
and where has it gotten us?
It's time to switch things up.

As we suspected,
the family claims to have no knowledge
of Lenkov or his crew.
Okay, I'd like can
we interview the family?
I don't think that's a good idea.
You kicked in the man's door
and terrified his family.
He's furious.
If you ask me, it appears
that the Belarusians took Dovhal's car
and ditched it here at random.
Well, Lenkov is smart.
He knew it was a rental
and we'd eventually be able to track it.
He deliberately led us
on this wild goose chase.
Okay, but what about the
guy lurking by the car
who led us directly into
that specific apartment?
We're trying to relocate
him, but Granno believes
he was just telling you what
he thought you wanted to hear.
Okay, well, tell Granno we'll
come to our own conclusions.
This is it, you know? Right here.
This is the American entitlement,
which caused this whole
damn mess in the first place.
You promised to keep
the Italians in the loop.
- And then you pull this.
- I didn't promise anything.
You're like your country:
doing what it wants,
crossing every red line, and
then expecting your allies
to simply step aside.
Can't you see that?
I'm doing what I feel is necessary,
given the circumstances.
I'm not here to argue
about foreign policy,
America's place in the

Okay. You both done?
Yeah? Good.
Jubal, me and you go way back,
but Smitty is a member of my team.
We're not gonna run over her
like she's some piece
in our own proxy war.
She fights for us and our
country every damn day.
Look, this raid,
it was my call.
And I was wrong.
I take responsibility for that.
Look, it was the only lead we had,
and I need to know we are
doing everything we can.
And that only works if
we're doing it together.
- I agree.
- All right.
Guys, we got another crime scene.
Somebody hit the ANITEC offices.
Oh, God.
Excuse me.
What happened?
Lenkov's men came through.
They needed something from the files.
I just hid in the back. I'm sorry.
I didn't know what else to
do. They would've killed me.
It's okay. You're safe now.
- What are we looking at?
- Well, these files are old.
I mean, from years ago, before
Laporta's company ever opened.
I mean, we didn't have any of this.
But is there any way to tell
what they were looking for?
Uh, these are huge files.
Blueprints, uh
It looks like they
uploaded the entire drive.
Uploaded to where?
If we can get an IP
address on the file server,
maybe we can find Lenkov's location.
Only if his computer guys
were sloppy and in a hurry.
Well, I guess it's possible.
His first team was killed
in the drone strike.
These would be his replacements.
Okay, I got it.
- The place is locked down.
- How many can you see?
Three guards at the
front door, heavily armed.
This must be where
Laporta is being held.
Extracting Laporta will likely require
taking on a team of nine
well-armed mercenaries.
We need FBI tactical support.
How long will it take
to get a team here?
I think we are the team.
I was afraid you'd say that.
What about the Italians?
You think they'll provide support?
I feel we may have burned that bridge.
Inspector, it's all hands on deck.
We could stop a terror
attack before it starts.
You Americans like to do
things on your own, so
here's your chance.
Good luck.
