American Dreams
1
[CHILDREN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
Seriously? It wasn't me.
I saw that, Owen.
Now give her hat back and apologize.
Sorry, I was just messing around.
[CHUCKLES.]
What book are you reading? You're an idiot.
ALL: Ooh.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN CHATTERING CONTINUES.]
Open that door! Or we blow up the bus.
- What's going on? - Oh, my God.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who was the president during World War I? Woodrow Wilson.
Next question.
What are the three branches of government? Executive, legislative, judicial.
Next.
We have done them all five times.
You haven't missed a single one.
What if I forget? 14 years I wait to take this test and raise my hand to become a real American.
How shameful it would be to fail Tant, you got this.
Trust me.
- What about you? - Hm? Omar, your mother tells me you have a girlfriend, this Mona.
Yes, we've been seeing each other.
She sounds like a good woman beautiful, Egyptian She's great.
She's amazing, but But what? You're not ready to settle down, - start a family? - Something like that.
In time, you will see, Omar.
- Children, family - [PHONE VIBRATES.]
That is all that really matters.
I am sorry, Tant.
Something came up at work.
I gotta go.
[SPEAKING ARABIC.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
So that school bus and 26 grade school kids just went missing in Westchester County.
How does a school bus go missing? Unclear, but it never arrived at Taft Elementary, and all the cell phones on board went dark at 7:41.
We sent a chopper to aid with the search but so far, nothing.
Well, those busses are tracked.
What about the GPS transponder? Disabled also at 7:41.
So a mass kidnapping? Could be a kidnapping.
Could be a domestic terror attack.
It also could be an isolated event or a first salvo.
Right now, we have to consider all possibilities.
Did intel agencies pick up chatter? They're checking.
Meanwhile, why don't you guys head over to the school? Isobel's already on the way.
Just dig into the kids' families, the bus driver, and look for any red flags.
Yeah.
- Good.
- Yeah.
All right, so the cell phones went offline here.
It's a rural area, so there's no street cams.
Okay, I'll head to the scene, try and pick up a trail.
Exactly.
Grab Maggie, and oh.
Keep forgetting she's off undercover.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, Samantha, it's me.
Have you taken the kids to school yet? Yeah, why don't you keep 'em home today? Just pretend it's a snow day.
Yeah, no, everything's fine just to be safe.
Okay, thanks.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Where are we on witnesses? We're canvassing.
The nearest house is 1/2 mile from here.
Did you guys set up any checkpoints? And we're talking to every driver.
So far, nobody saw a thing.
Now, based on the last GPS coordinates, this is where the bus last was.
My neighbor's kids were on that bus.
I know the driver, Mike McCabe.
Does McCabe have any issues that you know of? No, Mike's a stand up guy.
I mean, he grew up here.
Hey, I found something.
Over here.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Okay, cell phones.
Don't touch anything.
I got a body.
I'm guessing that's Mike McCabe? Okay, set up a grid search.
There may be more evidence or victims.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[REPORTERS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Isobel Castille.
I'm the special agent in charge at the New York office of the FBI.
Did you find our kids? Is it true the bus driver's dead? We are still searching for your children, but we did discover the body of an adult male.
Oh, my God.
Please know and this is extremely important there were no other signs of foul play at the scene.
Then what happened to our son? Right now, we are treating it as a kidnapping.
Agents will interview you, get your phone and email information so we can keep you updated with any news, and then we will ask you to please go home.
Home? How can we go home? We need to know where to find you, and there is a possibility that the kidnapper or your child will call the house.
[PEOPLE MURMURING INDISTINCTLY.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Is Owen on medication or have health issues of any kind? No, he's a perfect little boy.
Mr.
Jamison, I see that you run a hedge fund.
Is that correct? Yes, why is this relevant? Because I'm guessing that you have a higher net worth than anyone in the school by a considerable margin.
[SIGHS.]
Possibly, but I don't Have you ever received any threats or had any concerns about kidnapping? Nothing like that.
We're not flashy.
We keep a real low profile.
I can't imagine this has anything to do with me.
Has anything unusual happened lately? Any stalkers? Any odd calls? Anything big or small, doesn't matter.
Oh, this might sound crazy, but the other day, Owen missed the bus so he caught it at a later stop, and when he was getting on the bus, I noticed this car parked nearby, When the bus took off, the car followed it.
It might be nothing, but What kind of car? A sedan it was green, I think.
Let's assume the green sedan was surveilling our bus.
Let's check every inch of the bus route for witnesses or cameras that may have seen this car.
We're looking for a driver's face, a license plate, anything.
Go, go.
- Jubal.
- Yeah? - I got something.
- That was fast.
Oh, not on the car.
The techs recovered a video from one of the smashed phones.
They just sent the file.
Eyes up, y'all! [CHILDREN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
- Oh, my gosh.
- Open that door! Or we're gonna blow up the bus! [CHILDREN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Guys [CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
- Don't hurt the kids.
- Shut up! Cell phones off! Turn the cell phones off! Cell phones - Hey.
- Hey.
All right, so what are we looking at? At least two gunmen, one sounds American.
What else do we know? Let's put this video under the microscope, see what else we can find.
He looks tall 6'3 ", 6'4"? Skin says he's Caucasian.
Way he handles that AR points to military or police training.
Hey, check this out.
Look at his glove.
That's just hanging latex.
He's missing his pinkie finger.
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Keep working.
So surveillance, masks, assault rifles this is a well planned operation.
Yeah, but why? Why abduct 26 kids? And we're monitoring the parents' phones and emails, but there's no claim of responsibility, - no ransom demand.
- A demand may still come in.
What if it's not money he's after? You should've seen those parents.
It was despair.
I can't imagine.
- Jubal? - Yep.
A camera along the bus route caught the green sedan.
A Chevy Cobalt it followed the bus the day before too.
Somebody put out a BOLO.
Can we see the driver? No, but I see the plate.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
It's registered to Carl Stubbs priors for assault, burglary, and possession.
- Find him.
- Carl Stubbs! Second team south side.
Let's go.
Lay back.
Stealth the door.
Okay, go around.
Carl Stubbs, show me your hands.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
- What? - What's going on? Hold it right there! Federal agents! Hands, hands! Stop! Turn around.
Put your hands behind your back.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
He's got all ten fingers.
Got all my toes too.
What the hell's this about? Where are the children, Carl? - What children? - The 26 kids on that school bus.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well, your Chevy was seen following that exact school bus two days ago.
My Chevy they took it last week.
They? Who's they? The bank and the repo man.
I fell behind on my payments.
I've been bouncing checks all over town.
Tell me where you were at 7:41.
Right here, man.
I clocked in at 6:58.
And where was your car parked when it was taken? In front of my place.
Any cameras on your street? No, but whoever made off with it didn't get very far.
- Why's that? - Tank was on E.
I was running on fumes story of my life.
Not a lot of gas stations in that neighborhood.
Is this the footage from last week? Uh-huh.
That's the stolen car.
That must be our guy.
Pause right here.
His hand's on the pump.
I need a fingerprint team down here immediately.
All right, so the prints on the gas pump were a match to this man, Sam Givens, and he is the gunman from our bus.
Same height, spent time in the army, and he is missing that pinky finger.
Now, Givens just got out of prison after serving ten years on a series of violent robberies, and the arresting agent was none other than our own Jess LaCroix from the Fugitive Task Force.
Agent LaCroix has agreed to work with us on this case.
He caught Givens once.
We're hoping he can do it again.
Ladies and gentlemen, Jess LaCroix.
One of the best in the business.
It's good to see you again, Jubal.
You too.
Thanks for coming.
I know you guys are busy.
26 kids are missing.
These are the ones we do for free.
Got that right.
You ready to get to work? Yes, sir.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
- Don't hurt the kids.
- Shut up.
Cell phones off! Turn the cell phones off! Cell phones That is a hell of a thing.
- Sure is.
- Last known on Givens? We hit his apartment an hour ago, he wasn't there.
We searched the place.
Didn't find anything too interesting.
Phone? Shut off a week ago.
Credit cards, ATM? Last withdrawal was two days ago in the Bronx.
We're chasing that down as we speak.
Hey.
Has Givens ever abducted anyone before? Not that I'm aware of.
His specialty was home invasion robbery, but he's been in the slammer for ten years.
I'm sure he picked up some new tricks.
Hmm.
A bus full of children.
What does he want? Is he just reckless? What's his ultimate objective? - Money.
- So he'll ask for ransom.
Unless he can make more by trafficking the kids.
Like I said, he's motivated by money.
And I hope you don't mind, I invited my colleagues to join us.
This is Barnes, Crosby, Hana.
Come on in.
Make yourselves at home.
Hello, hello.
Hey.
OA Zidan.
Hey, I'm Hana.
Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Jubal.
- Hey, Crosby.
Nice to meet you.
Barnes.
I remember you.
- From Quantico, right? - That's right, yeah.
- Good to see you again.
- You slept with my roommate, Nicole.
I neither confirm nor deny that statement.
Well, welcome.
All right, so we've already identified the first gunman, Sam Givens.
It's time to ID the second.
It's possible it's someone he did home invasions with.
I'll start running names and addresses of Givens' cronies.
Maybe he was feeling nostalgic after all that time in prison, decided to get the band back together.
Now what about this bus? Did it head southeast, west? We've been scrubbing as much surveillance video as possible, - but so far no luck.
- Yeah, could be anywhere.
Givens' girlfriend? What-what girlfriend? I don't know who she is or where she lives, but I know that he's got one.
You-you do? How? Givens was an orphan.
He's constantly seeking strong women to take care of him.
Oh, right, be okay.
- It's true.
- All right.
We need hard evidence here, guys.
The clock is ticking, we don't have time to play shrink.
We don't have any hard evidence.
All we have is to play shrink.
Okay.
These two used to date or what? They used to work together back in the day.
Guessing it wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Your boss follows facts, mine follows hunches.
Tomato, to-mah-to.
As long as they get it done, right? - I may have something.
- Yeah? A report from Givens' probation officer.
He did an unannounced home visit, and in it stated that Givens was there with a woman.
This woman have a name? - Terri Prader.
- Uh-huh.
That's her.
- That's Givens' girlfriend.
- Based on? Based on the fact that it looks like his birth mother.
He used to carry her picture around in his wallet.
Emily and-and Crosby, right? You guys wanna go deep on Terri Prader? Financials, phone recs, the works.
On it.
- Hey, Ken Crosby.
- Emily Ryder.
I'll head to her apartment.
See what she knows.
If she's dating Givens, she knows the drill.
There's no way she's gonna cooperate with the FBI.
Go with him.
And don't be afraid to improvise.
You got this, right? It's really not that complicated.
I mean, I heard you're a good agent.
That doesn't make you a good actor.
[DOORBELL BUZZES.]
Ms.
Prader, how are you? I'm George Ahmed.
This is my colleague Marla Reynolds.
His boss, actually.
We're attorneys from Whitman-Frost.
We're looking for a Sam Givens.
Hasn't been around lately.
Terri may we come in? No.
Sam in trouble? Quite the opposite, actually.
We have fantastic news for him.
What news? It's confidential, but you have our number, so please ensure that Sam calls us.
It's urgent.
Hey.
Sam's not gonna call some lawyer without knowing why.
Should we just tell her? I mean, it'll probably expedite the process.
As you know, Mr.
Givens doesn't have that many close relatives.
Yeah, like, none.
Except for a great uncle in Muncie, Indiana who just passed away and left his entire estate to his next of kin, which happens to be Mr.
Givens.
Which is why it's vital we reach him.
Sam has an inheritance.
How much? It's not a fortune, but it's real money about $47,000.
The second you left, Prader called a landline in the Bronx.
It rang ten times, but nobody picked up.
Location of this landline? It's a one bedroom place that belongs to Terri's mom.
The mom got Alzheimer's and moved into a home, so now it's vacant.
How far is this place from the ATM Givens used? It's right around the corner.
Though he couldn't exactly stash a bus and 26 kids into a one bedroom.
Okay, send us the location.
We'll check it out.
Something's going on.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Oh, hey, this is Ron Drexler, the governor's chief of staff, - Isobel Castille.
- Hi.
All right, we just got a video.
It was emailed to the governor's office ten minutes ago.
Let's take a look.
Governor, I want $1 million, or no one will ever see this little guy or the other kids ever again.
Have the money ready in one hour.
Delivery instructions to follow.
Well, Givens is smart.
He bypassed the parents for deeper pockets.
You should know that it is FBI policy not to pay ransom.
But the demand came to us.
The state will pay.
The governor won't take chances with the lives of these kids.
The bank is pulling the cash as we speak.
I have to sign for it.
I will send an FBI team with you.
All right, y'all, so even if this son of a bitch gets his $1 million, he may have no intention of releasing these kids, so we need to find him and them before this money transfer.
So let's dig into this video.
How was it sent? What kind of camera? Where was it shot? Because that's where these kids are.
We need answers, and we have very little time to get them.
So how'd I do? You're not ready for Tinseltown, but you did okay.
Hold.
That's him.
Sam Givens, FBI, don't move.
[GUNSHOTS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I'll cut him off around back! Givens is heading south in a dark gray Chevy.
He's been shot.
Hobbes, put out a BOLO on a dark gray Chevy sedan.
Givens is wounded, so alert local hospitals and urgent cares.
Look into morticians and veterinarians too.
Guys like this know how to get medical aid off the grid.
Elise, he was in that apartment, so the kids may be nearby.
Have teams search the building and surrounding areas.
Go, go, go.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Well, he definitely planned the kidnapping here.
Street map of the bus route's highlighted.
No sign the kids were here or where they are now.
Burner phone.
The IMEI label's still on the box.
Amazing, call it in.
Jubal, got Givens' phone number.
- It's active.
- All right.
- He's in a vehicle.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See if street cam video can get us a look at him.
Get OA on the phone.
All right, OA's live.
OA, we got a location on Givens.
Where is he? He's five blocks north of you, one block west, headed south.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
That's the spirit, OA.
We got eyes on Givens yet? Not yet, street cam coverage is spotty.
OA, take the next left.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
He should be just ahead of you.
Are you sure? I don't see him.
No gray Chevy sedan.
OA, he's coming right at you.
- He switched vehicles.
- He's driving the truck.
Hold on.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[HORN BLARES.]
FBI, out of the truck! Hands where I can see them! Hands on the bumper! Where's Givens? Have you seen this man? No, sir.
Anyone else in the truck? Stay here, don't move.
- Cab's clear.
- So's the undercarriage.
It's a trash truck.
Maybe he dumped the phone.
I got a body.
It's Givens.
How did Givens wind up dead in a dump truck? We're not clear on that, but it looks like he bled to death.
Question is where does that leave the 26 kids? Well, they're not with any of Givens' former running mates.
We tracked 'em all down.
Two are dead.
Three are in prison.
The rest have solid alibis.
All right, so ERT found a dumpster on the trash pickup route with lots of blood.
Guessing Givens was hiding inside.
Okay, so his car should be close by.
Yeah, I got teams looking for it.
Yeah, but we're still nowhere.
No bus, no kids.
Run that ransom video again.
Unfortunately, the metadata was stripped, and the video was routed through a proxy server in Cyprus.
Tried to figure where it was shot, but there's no natural light.
The floor is framed out, so it's hard to tell.
Could be a bedroom, basement.
The background is a twin-size sheet, but there's no distinctive features or labels, so, I hate to say it, but it could be anywhere.
Sorry, just being honest.
All right, so we're out of facts.
I guess now would be a good time for you to do that thing I hate.
If you're up for it.
Our masked man has a commanding, domineering presence speech, cadence, word choice which means it's not Sam Givens.
He isn't that educated or confident.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you drove me nuts, but I never said you weren't good.
All right, so maybe this guy is the quarterback, and Givens was just part of the team.
New boss, new motive, new plan? Wait a minute.
Look at Owen's hand.
Or the other kids ever again.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Ever again.
Have the money ready in one hour.
Notice Owen's hand.
Do you know what he's doing with his fingers? Looks like sign language.
Is that possible? His cousin, Piper, she's hearing impaired.
She taught Owen some sign language.
Sign language? This is the best clue that you have right now? Sir, we're doing everything we can, tracking down every possible clue.
All we ask is for your cooperation.
Well, all we ask is for better, faster, smarter Roger, please.
We believe Owen is signing the letter P then the letter T.
PT, does that mean anything to either of you? Mr.
Jamison? PT? No.
I want $1 million or no one will ever see this little guy What the hell is this? You recognize that man? His voice? No, why would I? Sam knows him, and he helped him kidnap those kids.
Okay, is this another game? At first you're a lawyer, and now all this BS? Sam would never do what you're saying, okay? He's a decent man.
Yeah, he had a hard upbringing, but he's gonna turn his whole life around.
You'll see.
Unfortunately, we won't see because Sam's dead.
Do you have any idea who he's been talking to lately? Who he's been spending time with? No.
No, I swear.
Sometimes he just disappears physically, emotionally.
Okay.
Does he watch TV? Does he read? - What does that have to do - What are his interests? I don't know.
Last few months, he's been talking a lot about politics.
Spending all that time in prison, being around all those skinheads I think it got to him.
Did he ever mention anyone in particular? An ex-cellmate, coworker, drinking buddy.
Not that I can think of.
But I did overhear him on the phone with someone the last few times I saw him.
Did you happen to catch that person's name? Sam just called them T.
All right, so we're looking for somebody in Givens' life with the first or last name with the letter T.
Check out the guys he did time with, his coworkers, anybody he had a relationship with, and anyone connected to any fringe, white nationalist organization.
Hey, what's the latest ERT? We find any evidence in that Bronx one bedroom? No the only prints they found are from Terri and Givens.
What about the grey sedan? We get eyes on that yet? Still no signs on that vehicle.
Hey, any updates with the ransom demand? Delivery instructions? No, they've gone silent.
[SIGHS.]
NYPD just spotted the gray sedan.
Yeah? All right.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Smashed front end.
That's definitely the car.
Trunk's empty.
We're ten blocks from the dumpster Givens was in.
He was losing blood.
How'd he make it all the way there? Why isn't there a blood trail? We got a lot of blood only on the passenger side.
So someone else was driving.
We got blood smears.
It's like Givens got dragged out of the car.
Givens wasn't hiding in the dumpster.
He was dead or dying, so the driver put him in the dumpster.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
We ID the driver, it might lead us to the kids.
All right, I'll get ERT out here, have 'em sweep for prints and DNA.
All right, eyes up, people.
All right.
Did not see that coming.
Can you go back to when she saw the camera.
Yeah.
Yep.
Should be a clear enough shot to run through facial rec.
Yeah, start with our white nationalist database.
We got a match.
- Emma Kane.
- She have a record? No, but her husband does.
He's the leader of a violent, fringe, white nationalist group.
His name is Tyler Kane.
Otherwise known as T.
He's the guy that has those kids.
What happened to the American dream? To the jobs? To the hopes that we had for the future? They were taken from us by those from the inner city, by outsiders, by immigrants parasites all latching on to what's ours.
We need to reclaim this country for real Americans.
That requires a violent, watershed moment from which a white nation will rise again.
[APPLAUSE.]
It won't be easy Okay, you get the idea.
So we ran the voice.
It's a match to the ransom video.
And where is Tyler Kane now? He's in the wind, but we're working on it.
Tyler Kane has organized marches, incited violence, and encouraged attacks against synagogues and mosques.
And why hasn't he been arrested? Apparently, those aren't serious enough crimes.
At this point, Kane and his followers have gone underground.
The domestic terror squad thinks he's planning something big.
$1 million can buy a major terror attack with plenty left over to fund the movement.
Guys, another video just dropped.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I know the FBI is part of this, so I want an FBI agent to personally bring $1 million in $100 bills to dead center of the alley between Brixton and Reeves.
Come alone, no trackers, no tricks, no SWAT, or the kids die.
You've got 30 minutes to bring the money not a second more.
ETA, based on traffic, is 6:35 p.
m.
Drop is 28 minutes out.
He planned it that way so we don't have time to prepare.
And delivering that ransom is still our best hope of finding those kids.
Send every available unit to lock down the perimeter.
Stay back from the drop site.
Kane may have his own counter-surveillance.
Yep, on it.
I can have state police send an airship.
Do it, but coordinate with our air support team.
- I'll deliver the ransom.
- I'll go with you.
Hear you're army.
Yeah, 75th Rangers, 2nd Battalion.
"Rangers lead the way.
" Hm, 12th Infantry Regiment "ducti amore patriae.
" Not as catchy.
Here's one thing I don't get.
Why would Kane want this in cash? He's gotta know we're gonna be all over the scene, trackers in the bag.
Yeah, wire transfer or cryptocurrency would have been the smarter play.
I mean, if I were him and lacked all human emotion and compassion, I would just take the money, kill the kids, - and blame it on brown people.
- Mm, I get that, man.
This crap must make you get a little crazy.
He talks about real Americans white, blonde hair, blue eyes and No offense.
They are real Americans, but you know who else are real Americans? People like my aunt Yara who came over here from Egypt worked as a dishwasher, a maid, a manicurist, all to put my cousin through med school.
That's America.
We're coming up to the drop point.
All right, you head for the alley.
I'll shadow you.
I think it's better that I do this alone.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Then keep your mic hot.
Things go sideways, I got your six.
How far away are backup units? Seven minutes.
Tell 'em to make it two.
[PHONE RINGS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Hello? What is this? You're not FBI.
Muslims running the bureau.
That's what it's come to.
Look, man, I have your money.
Where are the kids? Show me.
Leave the bag, get back in your vehicle, and drive away.
I need to know where the kids are.
- I'll send their location.
- That's not gonna work for us.
I will hurt this little girl, or you can leave the money - and go your call.
- Okay, okay.
No one needs to hurt anybody.
I'm gonna leave it, all right? [HELICOPTER CHOPPING DISTANTLY.]
Is that a helicopter? I don't know.
Maybe it's news or traffic.
Show me.
Look, man, forget about the helicopter.
I have your money.
Let's make this I will slit her throat.
Now show it to me! You lied.
That's a police chopper.
I don't know.
We didn't call for it.
Do you understand? The deal's off.
What happened out there? The plan was for the state police helicopter to maintain surveillance from 1,500 feet.
The pilot had to descend because of crowded airspace.
Well, Kane got spooked.
It killed the deal along with our best hope of finding those kids.
I'm not sure he ever intended on making the deal in the first place.
He's not stupid.
There's no way he could have made it out of there with that money.
Helicopter was just an excuse.
It was all theater.
To what end? I don't know.
Look at all the resources we spent on the drop.
Maybe it was a diversion.
Ma'am, Jess and Jubal are asking for you.
So we know Kane's been in hiding for 18 months, but to pull off something like this, he'll need a base of operations.
Okay.
We were combing through Kane's merry band of white supremacists.
One of them has family who owns an amusement park in Westchester County.
It's closed for the season.
I pulled this image off a NOAA satellite.
It was taken three hours ago.
The park is secluded, fenced off plenty of room to stash kids.
It's also only ten miles away from where the bus was jacked.
But there is no school bus, no other vehicles, no sign of activity.
Anything that says Kane and the kids could be there? No, it's just speculation at this point.
I get it, but if I'm gonna commit assets, I need real facts.
I got it.
The name of the park is Play Town.
Owen signed the letters PT Play Town.
Go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Team up high.
Maintain your distance.
Forward to the doors.
All right, let's keep a good thought, folks.
Team hold.
Team branch right.
[INDISTINCT SHATTER.]
Green, green, green.
Run the walls, let's go.
Go in.
Eyes up.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
Branch out, branch out.
[SIGHS.]
It's empty.
- Advance.
- Now what some people would call a provincial attitude, what we're talking about here is really a birthright.
It's says people that have lived here for century upon century, who are responsible for building this great nation as it is today, the question is, how do you assail people that believe that they are the God-given heirs to this wonderful country, that have earned the right - Can I interject - FBI! FBI! Get down on the ground! Get on the ground now! Tyler Kane, show us your hands! Drop your weapon! - [GRUNTS.]
- Go.
Stay where you are! Officer down! Officer down! [INDISTINCT CHATTER FROM TELEVISION.]
What did you do with the kids? It's too late.
You can't stop it.
What do you mean it's too late? Where are the kids? - You'll see.
- I need a medic in here now.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Let's find the kids.
That's their stuff but no kids.
- Bolt cutters.
- Got it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Hey, hi.
We're with the FBI.
Are you okay? Hey, guys, we're gonna get you out of here.
- Can you come with us? - Come on, kids, up you get.
Let's go.
[TENDER MUSIC.]
Let's get going.
Come on, okay.
Here we go.
- Well done, everyone.
- Yeah, nice work.
Hey, it's me.
So, yeah, good news on the case, but, you know, bad news for the kids.
They have school tomorrow.
Any word on Tyler Kane? He's in surgery, but they think he's gonna make it.
All the ways this could've ended, I'm just glad the kids are okay.
Yeah, we got lucky, but Tyler's wife Emma's still in the wind with another member of their crew, - so we didn't get 'em all.
- We never get 'em all.
Hey, we got a problem.
One of the kids is still missing Owen Jamison.
Missing? What do you mean missing? According to the other kids, Emma Kane and another man took Owen away an hour ago.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
We rescued 25 out of the 26 kids.
Owen wasn't one of them.
He's here, isn't he? Yes, yes he is.
Safe and sound.
So if there's nothing else Kane found out Owen had a rich father and cut a side deal, didn't he? He contacted me through my brother.
I didn't break any laws here.
You gave him $1 million.
I did what I had to.
No, you should have told us because of the 25 other children that were in harm's way.
I was scared Terrified, so I did what I thought was best for my son.
I would do it again.
Glad you got your kid back.
Emma's got the money.
Whatever she and Kane are planning, she's going through with.
This isn't over.
[PHONE BUZZES.]
- [SCREAMING.]
- Dad Dad, can you hear me? Yeah, Tali, what's going on? [GUNSHOT.]
I don't know.
I'm at the food bank where we volunteer, and it's being raided! Raided? Raided by who? I don't know hey! Give me my phone back! Tali? [screaming, chatter.]
Tali! Jess, let's go.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
The ICE agents came in right before we closed.
They herded everybody together and asked for IDs.
- They have a warrant? - If they did, I didn't see it.
They separated our ten Latina women and girls and Tali.
Well, this is nuts.
Didn't anybody tell them who she was? Hell yeah, I was screaming she was from the middle school.
The other kids told him too.
Tali even tried telling him her dad was FBI.
The head agent said she didn't look American, and that she was going in with the other illegals.
Funny, she's probably the only real American in the place.
I'm sorry.
I did everything I could.
I know you did, Daniel.
I appreciate it.
Mr.
LaCroix? Tali gave it to me before they took her away.
They wouldn't let her keep it.
I really hope she's okay.
Thanks, Chloe.
Let's start making calls.
I want the agent in charge of this raid.
I'm going with you.
It's not a good idea.
Mary Lou will need you with her, Nelson.
This is just some stupid mistake.
I'll find Tali.
She's a tough little girl.
She's gonna be okay.
[SIGHS.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I can't tell you how sorry I am, Agent LaCroix.
There was no excuse for this.
- It was a field decision - I don't care what happened.
I just want her back.
Today.
Where is she? I haven't gotten the field report yet.
You said her name's Tali? Let me write it down for you.
Natalia Skye LaCroix.
She's 11-years-old, her mother died in Afghanistan, and your people are doing this to her.
I understand, but we're all on the same team here.
This raid was on the books when I took over this position a week ago.
I'm still straightening things out.
Looks like you got your work cut out for you.
I'm her uncle.
300th generation American, in case you're wondering.
We'll find your girl.
You have my card.
You should email me a photo of her.
I will.
And I'll be calling you every ten minutes.
I expect you to take my calls, Mr.
Stevens.
Copy that.
I'll have good news for you soon, and again, I'm sorry.
This is so kind of you.
Our new mothers will be so grateful.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I just wanna make sure they get whatever they need.
Because of people like you, the church can give these young women the support that's so important.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Okay? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Buenas noches, señoras Oh, I'm sorry.
You can set that down.
Oh, thanks.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[APPLAUSE.]
I I have something else for you.
[ALL GASPING AND SHOUTING.]
You all are you're taking over my country.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[GUNSHOTS AND SCREAMING.]
Seriously? It wasn't me.
I saw that, Owen.
Now give her hat back and apologize.
Sorry, I was just messing around.
[CHUCKLES.]
What book are you reading? You're an idiot.
ALL: Ooh.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN CHATTERING CONTINUES.]
Open that door! Or we blow up the bus.
- What's going on? - Oh, my God.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who was the president during World War I? Woodrow Wilson.
Next question.
What are the three branches of government? Executive, legislative, judicial.
Next.
We have done them all five times.
You haven't missed a single one.
What if I forget? 14 years I wait to take this test and raise my hand to become a real American.
How shameful it would be to fail Tant, you got this.
Trust me.
- What about you? - Hm? Omar, your mother tells me you have a girlfriend, this Mona.
Yes, we've been seeing each other.
She sounds like a good woman beautiful, Egyptian She's great.
She's amazing, but But what? You're not ready to settle down, - start a family? - Something like that.
In time, you will see, Omar.
- Children, family - [PHONE VIBRATES.]
That is all that really matters.
I am sorry, Tant.
Something came up at work.
I gotta go.
[SPEAKING ARABIC.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
So that school bus and 26 grade school kids just went missing in Westchester County.
How does a school bus go missing? Unclear, but it never arrived at Taft Elementary, and all the cell phones on board went dark at 7:41.
We sent a chopper to aid with the search but so far, nothing.
Well, those busses are tracked.
What about the GPS transponder? Disabled also at 7:41.
So a mass kidnapping? Could be a kidnapping.
Could be a domestic terror attack.
It also could be an isolated event or a first salvo.
Right now, we have to consider all possibilities.
Did intel agencies pick up chatter? They're checking.
Meanwhile, why don't you guys head over to the school? Isobel's already on the way.
Just dig into the kids' families, the bus driver, and look for any red flags.
Yeah.
- Good.
- Yeah.
All right, so the cell phones went offline here.
It's a rural area, so there's no street cams.
Okay, I'll head to the scene, try and pick up a trail.
Exactly.
Grab Maggie, and oh.
Keep forgetting she's off undercover.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, Samantha, it's me.
Have you taken the kids to school yet? Yeah, why don't you keep 'em home today? Just pretend it's a snow day.
Yeah, no, everything's fine just to be safe.
Okay, thanks.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Where are we on witnesses? We're canvassing.
The nearest house is 1/2 mile from here.
Did you guys set up any checkpoints? And we're talking to every driver.
So far, nobody saw a thing.
Now, based on the last GPS coordinates, this is where the bus last was.
My neighbor's kids were on that bus.
I know the driver, Mike McCabe.
Does McCabe have any issues that you know of? No, Mike's a stand up guy.
I mean, he grew up here.
Hey, I found something.
Over here.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Okay, cell phones.
Don't touch anything.
I got a body.
I'm guessing that's Mike McCabe? Okay, set up a grid search.
There may be more evidence or victims.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[REPORTERS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Isobel Castille.
I'm the special agent in charge at the New York office of the FBI.
Did you find our kids? Is it true the bus driver's dead? We are still searching for your children, but we did discover the body of an adult male.
Oh, my God.
Please know and this is extremely important there were no other signs of foul play at the scene.
Then what happened to our son? Right now, we are treating it as a kidnapping.
Agents will interview you, get your phone and email information so we can keep you updated with any news, and then we will ask you to please go home.
Home? How can we go home? We need to know where to find you, and there is a possibility that the kidnapper or your child will call the house.
[PEOPLE MURMURING INDISTINCTLY.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Is Owen on medication or have health issues of any kind? No, he's a perfect little boy.
Mr.
Jamison, I see that you run a hedge fund.
Is that correct? Yes, why is this relevant? Because I'm guessing that you have a higher net worth than anyone in the school by a considerable margin.
[SIGHS.]
Possibly, but I don't Have you ever received any threats or had any concerns about kidnapping? Nothing like that.
We're not flashy.
We keep a real low profile.
I can't imagine this has anything to do with me.
Has anything unusual happened lately? Any stalkers? Any odd calls? Anything big or small, doesn't matter.
Oh, this might sound crazy, but the other day, Owen missed the bus so he caught it at a later stop, and when he was getting on the bus, I noticed this car parked nearby, When the bus took off, the car followed it.
It might be nothing, but What kind of car? A sedan it was green, I think.
Let's assume the green sedan was surveilling our bus.
Let's check every inch of the bus route for witnesses or cameras that may have seen this car.
We're looking for a driver's face, a license plate, anything.
Go, go.
- Jubal.
- Yeah? - I got something.
- That was fast.
Oh, not on the car.
The techs recovered a video from one of the smashed phones.
They just sent the file.
Eyes up, y'all! [CHILDREN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
- Oh, my gosh.
- Open that door! Or we're gonna blow up the bus! [CHILDREN CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- Guys [CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
- Don't hurt the kids.
- Shut up! Cell phones off! Turn the cell phones off! Cell phones - Hey.
- Hey.
All right, so what are we looking at? At least two gunmen, one sounds American.
What else do we know? Let's put this video under the microscope, see what else we can find.
He looks tall 6'3 ", 6'4"? Skin says he's Caucasian.
Way he handles that AR points to military or police training.
Hey, check this out.
Look at his glove.
That's just hanging latex.
He's missing his pinkie finger.
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Keep working.
So surveillance, masks, assault rifles this is a well planned operation.
Yeah, but why? Why abduct 26 kids? And we're monitoring the parents' phones and emails, but there's no claim of responsibility, - no ransom demand.
- A demand may still come in.
What if it's not money he's after? You should've seen those parents.
It was despair.
I can't imagine.
- Jubal? - Yep.
A camera along the bus route caught the green sedan.
A Chevy Cobalt it followed the bus the day before too.
Somebody put out a BOLO.
Can we see the driver? No, but I see the plate.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
It's registered to Carl Stubbs priors for assault, burglary, and possession.
- Find him.
- Carl Stubbs! Second team south side.
Let's go.
Lay back.
Stealth the door.
Okay, go around.
Carl Stubbs, show me your hands.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
- What? - What's going on? Hold it right there! Federal agents! Hands, hands! Stop! Turn around.
Put your hands behind your back.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
He's got all ten fingers.
Got all my toes too.
What the hell's this about? Where are the children, Carl? - What children? - The 26 kids on that school bus.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well, your Chevy was seen following that exact school bus two days ago.
My Chevy they took it last week.
They? Who's they? The bank and the repo man.
I fell behind on my payments.
I've been bouncing checks all over town.
Tell me where you were at 7:41.
Right here, man.
I clocked in at 6:58.
And where was your car parked when it was taken? In front of my place.
Any cameras on your street? No, but whoever made off with it didn't get very far.
- Why's that? - Tank was on E.
I was running on fumes story of my life.
Not a lot of gas stations in that neighborhood.
Is this the footage from last week? Uh-huh.
That's the stolen car.
That must be our guy.
Pause right here.
His hand's on the pump.
I need a fingerprint team down here immediately.
All right, so the prints on the gas pump were a match to this man, Sam Givens, and he is the gunman from our bus.
Same height, spent time in the army, and he is missing that pinky finger.
Now, Givens just got out of prison after serving ten years on a series of violent robberies, and the arresting agent was none other than our own Jess LaCroix from the Fugitive Task Force.
Agent LaCroix has agreed to work with us on this case.
He caught Givens once.
We're hoping he can do it again.
Ladies and gentlemen, Jess LaCroix.
One of the best in the business.
It's good to see you again, Jubal.
You too.
Thanks for coming.
I know you guys are busy.
26 kids are missing.
These are the ones we do for free.
Got that right.
You ready to get to work? Yes, sir.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[CHILDREN SCREAMING.]
- Don't hurt the kids.
- Shut up.
Cell phones off! Turn the cell phones off! Cell phones That is a hell of a thing.
- Sure is.
- Last known on Givens? We hit his apartment an hour ago, he wasn't there.
We searched the place.
Didn't find anything too interesting.
Phone? Shut off a week ago.
Credit cards, ATM? Last withdrawal was two days ago in the Bronx.
We're chasing that down as we speak.
Hey.
Has Givens ever abducted anyone before? Not that I'm aware of.
His specialty was home invasion robbery, but he's been in the slammer for ten years.
I'm sure he picked up some new tricks.
Hmm.
A bus full of children.
What does he want? Is he just reckless? What's his ultimate objective? - Money.
- So he'll ask for ransom.
Unless he can make more by trafficking the kids.
Like I said, he's motivated by money.
And I hope you don't mind, I invited my colleagues to join us.
This is Barnes, Crosby, Hana.
Come on in.
Make yourselves at home.
Hello, hello.
Hey.
OA Zidan.
Hey, I'm Hana.
Nice to meet you.
- Hey, Jubal.
- Hey, Crosby.
Nice to meet you.
Barnes.
I remember you.
- From Quantico, right? - That's right, yeah.
- Good to see you again.
- You slept with my roommate, Nicole.
I neither confirm nor deny that statement.
Well, welcome.
All right, so we've already identified the first gunman, Sam Givens.
It's time to ID the second.
It's possible it's someone he did home invasions with.
I'll start running names and addresses of Givens' cronies.
Maybe he was feeling nostalgic after all that time in prison, decided to get the band back together.
Now what about this bus? Did it head southeast, west? We've been scrubbing as much surveillance video as possible, - but so far no luck.
- Yeah, could be anywhere.
Givens' girlfriend? What-what girlfriend? I don't know who she is or where she lives, but I know that he's got one.
You-you do? How? Givens was an orphan.
He's constantly seeking strong women to take care of him.
Oh, right, be okay.
- It's true.
- All right.
We need hard evidence here, guys.
The clock is ticking, we don't have time to play shrink.
We don't have any hard evidence.
All we have is to play shrink.
Okay.
These two used to date or what? They used to work together back in the day.
Guessing it wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Your boss follows facts, mine follows hunches.
Tomato, to-mah-to.
As long as they get it done, right? - I may have something.
- Yeah? A report from Givens' probation officer.
He did an unannounced home visit, and in it stated that Givens was there with a woman.
This woman have a name? - Terri Prader.
- Uh-huh.
That's her.
- That's Givens' girlfriend.
- Based on? Based on the fact that it looks like his birth mother.
He used to carry her picture around in his wallet.
Emily and-and Crosby, right? You guys wanna go deep on Terri Prader? Financials, phone recs, the works.
On it.
- Hey, Ken Crosby.
- Emily Ryder.
I'll head to her apartment.
See what she knows.
If she's dating Givens, she knows the drill.
There's no way she's gonna cooperate with the FBI.
Go with him.
And don't be afraid to improvise.
You got this, right? It's really not that complicated.
I mean, I heard you're a good agent.
That doesn't make you a good actor.
[DOORBELL BUZZES.]
Ms.
Prader, how are you? I'm George Ahmed.
This is my colleague Marla Reynolds.
His boss, actually.
We're attorneys from Whitman-Frost.
We're looking for a Sam Givens.
Hasn't been around lately.
Terri may we come in? No.
Sam in trouble? Quite the opposite, actually.
We have fantastic news for him.
What news? It's confidential, but you have our number, so please ensure that Sam calls us.
It's urgent.
Hey.
Sam's not gonna call some lawyer without knowing why.
Should we just tell her? I mean, it'll probably expedite the process.
As you know, Mr.
Givens doesn't have that many close relatives.
Yeah, like, none.
Except for a great uncle in Muncie, Indiana who just passed away and left his entire estate to his next of kin, which happens to be Mr.
Givens.
Which is why it's vital we reach him.
Sam has an inheritance.
How much? It's not a fortune, but it's real money about $47,000.
The second you left, Prader called a landline in the Bronx.
It rang ten times, but nobody picked up.
Location of this landline? It's a one bedroom place that belongs to Terri's mom.
The mom got Alzheimer's and moved into a home, so now it's vacant.
How far is this place from the ATM Givens used? It's right around the corner.
Though he couldn't exactly stash a bus and 26 kids into a one bedroom.
Okay, send us the location.
We'll check it out.
Something's going on.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
Oh, hey, this is Ron Drexler, the governor's chief of staff, - Isobel Castille.
- Hi.
All right, we just got a video.
It was emailed to the governor's office ten minutes ago.
Let's take a look.
Governor, I want $1 million, or no one will ever see this little guy or the other kids ever again.
Have the money ready in one hour.
Delivery instructions to follow.
Well, Givens is smart.
He bypassed the parents for deeper pockets.
You should know that it is FBI policy not to pay ransom.
But the demand came to us.
The state will pay.
The governor won't take chances with the lives of these kids.
The bank is pulling the cash as we speak.
I have to sign for it.
I will send an FBI team with you.
All right, y'all, so even if this son of a bitch gets his $1 million, he may have no intention of releasing these kids, so we need to find him and them before this money transfer.
So let's dig into this video.
How was it sent? What kind of camera? Where was it shot? Because that's where these kids are.
We need answers, and we have very little time to get them.
So how'd I do? You're not ready for Tinseltown, but you did okay.
Hold.
That's him.
Sam Givens, FBI, don't move.
[GUNSHOTS.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
I'll cut him off around back! Givens is heading south in a dark gray Chevy.
He's been shot.
Hobbes, put out a BOLO on a dark gray Chevy sedan.
Givens is wounded, so alert local hospitals and urgent cares.
Look into morticians and veterinarians too.
Guys like this know how to get medical aid off the grid.
Elise, he was in that apartment, so the kids may be nearby.
Have teams search the building and surrounding areas.
Go, go, go.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Well, he definitely planned the kidnapping here.
Street map of the bus route's highlighted.
No sign the kids were here or where they are now.
Burner phone.
The IMEI label's still on the box.
Amazing, call it in.
Jubal, got Givens' phone number.
- It's active.
- All right.
- He's in a vehicle.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See if street cam video can get us a look at him.
Get OA on the phone.
All right, OA's live.
OA, we got a location on Givens.
Where is he? He's five blocks north of you, one block west, headed south.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
That's the spirit, OA.
We got eyes on Givens yet? Not yet, street cam coverage is spotty.
OA, take the next left.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
He should be just ahead of you.
Are you sure? I don't see him.
No gray Chevy sedan.
OA, he's coming right at you.
- He switched vehicles.
- He's driving the truck.
Hold on.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
[HORN BLARES.]
FBI, out of the truck! Hands where I can see them! Hands on the bumper! Where's Givens? Have you seen this man? No, sir.
Anyone else in the truck? Stay here, don't move.
- Cab's clear.
- So's the undercarriage.
It's a trash truck.
Maybe he dumped the phone.
I got a body.
It's Givens.
How did Givens wind up dead in a dump truck? We're not clear on that, but it looks like he bled to death.
Question is where does that leave the 26 kids? Well, they're not with any of Givens' former running mates.
We tracked 'em all down.
Two are dead.
Three are in prison.
The rest have solid alibis.
All right, so ERT found a dumpster on the trash pickup route with lots of blood.
Guessing Givens was hiding inside.
Okay, so his car should be close by.
Yeah, I got teams looking for it.
Yeah, but we're still nowhere.
No bus, no kids.
Run that ransom video again.
Unfortunately, the metadata was stripped, and the video was routed through a proxy server in Cyprus.
Tried to figure where it was shot, but there's no natural light.
The floor is framed out, so it's hard to tell.
Could be a bedroom, basement.
The background is a twin-size sheet, but there's no distinctive features or labels, so, I hate to say it, but it could be anywhere.
Sorry, just being honest.
All right, so we're out of facts.
I guess now would be a good time for you to do that thing I hate.
If you're up for it.
Our masked man has a commanding, domineering presence speech, cadence, word choice which means it's not Sam Givens.
He isn't that educated or confident.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you drove me nuts, but I never said you weren't good.
All right, so maybe this guy is the quarterback, and Givens was just part of the team.
New boss, new motive, new plan? Wait a minute.
Look at Owen's hand.
Or the other kids ever again.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Ever again.
Have the money ready in one hour.
Notice Owen's hand.
Do you know what he's doing with his fingers? Looks like sign language.
Is that possible? His cousin, Piper, she's hearing impaired.
She taught Owen some sign language.
Sign language? This is the best clue that you have right now? Sir, we're doing everything we can, tracking down every possible clue.
All we ask is for your cooperation.
Well, all we ask is for better, faster, smarter Roger, please.
We believe Owen is signing the letter P then the letter T.
PT, does that mean anything to either of you? Mr.
Jamison? PT? No.
I want $1 million or no one will ever see this little guy What the hell is this? You recognize that man? His voice? No, why would I? Sam knows him, and he helped him kidnap those kids.
Okay, is this another game? At first you're a lawyer, and now all this BS? Sam would never do what you're saying, okay? He's a decent man.
Yeah, he had a hard upbringing, but he's gonna turn his whole life around.
You'll see.
Unfortunately, we won't see because Sam's dead.
Do you have any idea who he's been talking to lately? Who he's been spending time with? No.
No, I swear.
Sometimes he just disappears physically, emotionally.
Okay.
Does he watch TV? Does he read? - What does that have to do - What are his interests? I don't know.
Last few months, he's been talking a lot about politics.
Spending all that time in prison, being around all those skinheads I think it got to him.
Did he ever mention anyone in particular? An ex-cellmate, coworker, drinking buddy.
Not that I can think of.
But I did overhear him on the phone with someone the last few times I saw him.
Did you happen to catch that person's name? Sam just called them T.
All right, so we're looking for somebody in Givens' life with the first or last name with the letter T.
Check out the guys he did time with, his coworkers, anybody he had a relationship with, and anyone connected to any fringe, white nationalist organization.
Hey, what's the latest ERT? We find any evidence in that Bronx one bedroom? No the only prints they found are from Terri and Givens.
What about the grey sedan? We get eyes on that yet? Still no signs on that vehicle.
Hey, any updates with the ransom demand? Delivery instructions? No, they've gone silent.
[SIGHS.]
NYPD just spotted the gray sedan.
Yeah? All right.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Smashed front end.
That's definitely the car.
Trunk's empty.
We're ten blocks from the dumpster Givens was in.
He was losing blood.
How'd he make it all the way there? Why isn't there a blood trail? We got a lot of blood only on the passenger side.
So someone else was driving.
We got blood smears.
It's like Givens got dragged out of the car.
Givens wasn't hiding in the dumpster.
He was dead or dying, so the driver put him in the dumpster.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
We ID the driver, it might lead us to the kids.
All right, I'll get ERT out here, have 'em sweep for prints and DNA.
All right, eyes up, people.
All right.
Did not see that coming.
Can you go back to when she saw the camera.
Yeah.
Yep.
Should be a clear enough shot to run through facial rec.
Yeah, start with our white nationalist database.
We got a match.
- Emma Kane.
- She have a record? No, but her husband does.
He's the leader of a violent, fringe, white nationalist group.
His name is Tyler Kane.
Otherwise known as T.
He's the guy that has those kids.
What happened to the American dream? To the jobs? To the hopes that we had for the future? They were taken from us by those from the inner city, by outsiders, by immigrants parasites all latching on to what's ours.
We need to reclaim this country for real Americans.
That requires a violent, watershed moment from which a white nation will rise again.
[APPLAUSE.]
It won't be easy Okay, you get the idea.
So we ran the voice.
It's a match to the ransom video.
And where is Tyler Kane now? He's in the wind, but we're working on it.
Tyler Kane has organized marches, incited violence, and encouraged attacks against synagogues and mosques.
And why hasn't he been arrested? Apparently, those aren't serious enough crimes.
At this point, Kane and his followers have gone underground.
The domestic terror squad thinks he's planning something big.
$1 million can buy a major terror attack with plenty left over to fund the movement.
Guys, another video just dropped.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
I know the FBI is part of this, so I want an FBI agent to personally bring $1 million in $100 bills to dead center of the alley between Brixton and Reeves.
Come alone, no trackers, no tricks, no SWAT, or the kids die.
You've got 30 minutes to bring the money not a second more.
ETA, based on traffic, is 6:35 p.
m.
Drop is 28 minutes out.
He planned it that way so we don't have time to prepare.
And delivering that ransom is still our best hope of finding those kids.
Send every available unit to lock down the perimeter.
Stay back from the drop site.
Kane may have his own counter-surveillance.
Yep, on it.
I can have state police send an airship.
Do it, but coordinate with our air support team.
- I'll deliver the ransom.
- I'll go with you.
Hear you're army.
Yeah, 75th Rangers, 2nd Battalion.
"Rangers lead the way.
" Hm, 12th Infantry Regiment "ducti amore patriae.
" Not as catchy.
Here's one thing I don't get.
Why would Kane want this in cash? He's gotta know we're gonna be all over the scene, trackers in the bag.
Yeah, wire transfer or cryptocurrency would have been the smarter play.
I mean, if I were him and lacked all human emotion and compassion, I would just take the money, kill the kids, - and blame it on brown people.
- Mm, I get that, man.
This crap must make you get a little crazy.
He talks about real Americans white, blonde hair, blue eyes and No offense.
They are real Americans, but you know who else are real Americans? People like my aunt Yara who came over here from Egypt worked as a dishwasher, a maid, a manicurist, all to put my cousin through med school.
That's America.
We're coming up to the drop point.
All right, you head for the alley.
I'll shadow you.
I think it's better that I do this alone.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Then keep your mic hot.
Things go sideways, I got your six.
How far away are backup units? Seven minutes.
Tell 'em to make it two.
[PHONE RINGS.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Hello? What is this? You're not FBI.
Muslims running the bureau.
That's what it's come to.
Look, man, I have your money.
Where are the kids? Show me.
Leave the bag, get back in your vehicle, and drive away.
I need to know where the kids are.
- I'll send their location.
- That's not gonna work for us.
I will hurt this little girl, or you can leave the money - and go your call.
- Okay, okay.
No one needs to hurt anybody.
I'm gonna leave it, all right? [HELICOPTER CHOPPING DISTANTLY.]
Is that a helicopter? I don't know.
Maybe it's news or traffic.
Show me.
Look, man, forget about the helicopter.
I have your money.
Let's make this I will slit her throat.
Now show it to me! You lied.
That's a police chopper.
I don't know.
We didn't call for it.
Do you understand? The deal's off.
What happened out there? The plan was for the state police helicopter to maintain surveillance from 1,500 feet.
The pilot had to descend because of crowded airspace.
Well, Kane got spooked.
It killed the deal along with our best hope of finding those kids.
I'm not sure he ever intended on making the deal in the first place.
He's not stupid.
There's no way he could have made it out of there with that money.
Helicopter was just an excuse.
It was all theater.
To what end? I don't know.
Look at all the resources we spent on the drop.
Maybe it was a diversion.
Ma'am, Jess and Jubal are asking for you.
So we know Kane's been in hiding for 18 months, but to pull off something like this, he'll need a base of operations.
Okay.
We were combing through Kane's merry band of white supremacists.
One of them has family who owns an amusement park in Westchester County.
It's closed for the season.
I pulled this image off a NOAA satellite.
It was taken three hours ago.
The park is secluded, fenced off plenty of room to stash kids.
It's also only ten miles away from where the bus was jacked.
But there is no school bus, no other vehicles, no sign of activity.
Anything that says Kane and the kids could be there? No, it's just speculation at this point.
I get it, but if I'm gonna commit assets, I need real facts.
I got it.
The name of the park is Play Town.
Owen signed the letters PT Play Town.
Go.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Team up high.
Maintain your distance.
Forward to the doors.
All right, let's keep a good thought, folks.
Team hold.
Team branch right.
[INDISTINCT SHATTER.]
Green, green, green.
Run the walls, let's go.
Go in.
Eyes up.
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING.]
Branch out, branch out.
[SIGHS.]
It's empty.
- Advance.
- Now what some people would call a provincial attitude, what we're talking about here is really a birthright.
It's says people that have lived here for century upon century, who are responsible for building this great nation as it is today, the question is, how do you assail people that believe that they are the God-given heirs to this wonderful country, that have earned the right - Can I interject - FBI! FBI! Get down on the ground! Get on the ground now! Tyler Kane, show us your hands! Drop your weapon! - [GRUNTS.]
- Go.
Stay where you are! Officer down! Officer down! [INDISTINCT CHATTER FROM TELEVISION.]
What did you do with the kids? It's too late.
You can't stop it.
What do you mean it's too late? Where are the kids? - You'll see.
- I need a medic in here now.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Let's find the kids.
That's their stuff but no kids.
- Bolt cutters.
- Got it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Hey, hi.
We're with the FBI.
Are you okay? Hey, guys, we're gonna get you out of here.
- Can you come with us? - Come on, kids, up you get.
Let's go.
[TENDER MUSIC.]
Let's get going.
Come on, okay.
Here we go.
- Well done, everyone.
- Yeah, nice work.
Hey, it's me.
So, yeah, good news on the case, but, you know, bad news for the kids.
They have school tomorrow.
Any word on Tyler Kane? He's in surgery, but they think he's gonna make it.
All the ways this could've ended, I'm just glad the kids are okay.
Yeah, we got lucky, but Tyler's wife Emma's still in the wind with another member of their crew, - so we didn't get 'em all.
- We never get 'em all.
Hey, we got a problem.
One of the kids is still missing Owen Jamison.
Missing? What do you mean missing? According to the other kids, Emma Kane and another man took Owen away an hour ago.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
We rescued 25 out of the 26 kids.
Owen wasn't one of them.
He's here, isn't he? Yes, yes he is.
Safe and sound.
So if there's nothing else Kane found out Owen had a rich father and cut a side deal, didn't he? He contacted me through my brother.
I didn't break any laws here.
You gave him $1 million.
I did what I had to.
No, you should have told us because of the 25 other children that were in harm's way.
I was scared Terrified, so I did what I thought was best for my son.
I would do it again.
Glad you got your kid back.
Emma's got the money.
Whatever she and Kane are planning, she's going through with.
This isn't over.
[PHONE BUZZES.]
- [SCREAMING.]
- Dad Dad, can you hear me? Yeah, Tali, what's going on? [GUNSHOT.]
I don't know.
I'm at the food bank where we volunteer, and it's being raided! Raided? Raided by who? I don't know hey! Give me my phone back! Tali? [screaming, chatter.]
Tali! Jess, let's go.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
The ICE agents came in right before we closed.
They herded everybody together and asked for IDs.
- They have a warrant? - If they did, I didn't see it.
They separated our ten Latina women and girls and Tali.
Well, this is nuts.
Didn't anybody tell them who she was? Hell yeah, I was screaming she was from the middle school.
The other kids told him too.
Tali even tried telling him her dad was FBI.
The head agent said she didn't look American, and that she was going in with the other illegals.
Funny, she's probably the only real American in the place.
I'm sorry.
I did everything I could.
I know you did, Daniel.
I appreciate it.
Mr.
LaCroix? Tali gave it to me before they took her away.
They wouldn't let her keep it.
I really hope she's okay.
Thanks, Chloe.
Let's start making calls.
I want the agent in charge of this raid.
I'm going with you.
It's not a good idea.
Mary Lou will need you with her, Nelson.
This is just some stupid mistake.
I'll find Tali.
She's a tough little girl.
She's gonna be okay.
[SIGHS.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
I can't tell you how sorry I am, Agent LaCroix.
There was no excuse for this.
- It was a field decision - I don't care what happened.
I just want her back.
Today.
Where is she? I haven't gotten the field report yet.
You said her name's Tali? Let me write it down for you.
Natalia Skye LaCroix.
She's 11-years-old, her mother died in Afghanistan, and your people are doing this to her.
I understand, but we're all on the same team here.
This raid was on the books when I took over this position a week ago.
I'm still straightening things out.
Looks like you got your work cut out for you.
I'm her uncle.
300th generation American, in case you're wondering.
We'll find your girl.
You have my card.
You should email me a photo of her.
I will.
And I'll be calling you every ten minutes.
I expect you to take my calls, Mr.
Stevens.
Copy that.
I'll have good news for you soon, and again, I'm sorry.
This is so kind of you.
Our new mothers will be so grateful.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
I just wanna make sure they get whatever they need.
Because of people like you, the church can give these young women the support that's so important.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Okay? [SPEAKING SPANISH.]
Buenas noches, señoras Oh, I'm sorry.
You can set that down.
Oh, thanks.
[SPEAKING SPANISH.]
[APPLAUSE.]
I I have something else for you.
[ALL GASPING AND SHOUTING.]
You all are you're taking over my country.
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
[GUNSHOTS AND SCREAMING.]
