Cowboy Behavior

Women will tell you they want smart.
They want a gentleman,
someone who's going to make them laugh.
But I'm here to tell you
that I've never met a woman who
walked away from a Ferrari.
Thank you, sweetheart.
And by the way,
to all you losers out there
living in your parents' basement,
get the hell off my channel,
'cause I'm not Tony Robbins
and I'm not trying
to save your sorry ass.
No, I'm talking to all my hard-core
womanizing warriors out there.
Cut! Cut!
How many times have we gone over this?
I take the flute from you,
you turn, smile into the camera,
and then walk out of frame.
[SIGHS]
All right, here we go.
What's the problem?
The girls are asking for a break.
It's Ines's birthday.
She made cupcakes.
Well, in that case.

You're going to tell me how to act?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I got five of my people
poring over
every video Shaw drops,
and not one of them could even
narrow down which continent
this prick has been hiding
out in. How'd you do it?
- Our new analyst, Amanda Tate.
- Really?
Good find.
Pass along my compliments, will you?
Will do.
We're sending everything we
have on Mark Shaw to you right now.
Should be there any second, all right?
Great. Didn't we almost
have this guy stateside?
Yeah, we had him in custody
two years ago, but he skipped bail.
We tracked him down all
the way to North Perry, Miami.
Fugitive Task Force
missed him by minutes
before he got on
a charter plane to Cuba.
Yeah, well, hopefully his
days are numbered over here.
I read the statements
from the women he victimized.
This scumbag needs to be taken down.
Mark Shaw, social media influencer
and unapologetic misogynist.
Same audience base as Andrew Tate.
Are you familiar with him?
No relation, in case you're wondering.
- Well, that's good to know.
- [CHUCKLES]
Shaw's got outstanding warrants
in New York for
sexual assault, solicitation, extortion,
conspiracy to sex traffic minors,
attempted kidnapping, transportation
of minors across state lines
for sexual purposes, and unlawful flight
to avoid prosecution.
Since jumping bail, he's been diligent
about hiding behind Tor and VPNs.
But his latest video
gave us this kernel:
Babina Luzhitsa.
I'm sure I just butchered
the pronunciation,
but it's a pastry shop
in Sofia, Bulgaria.
We don't have Shaw's exact
location, but he's got to be close by.
Innocent Images unit flagged
this FantasyFire account
as being a potential minor.
We ID'd her as Ines Rodrigo,
17, from Albuquerque.
Reported missing about six months ago.
Now, FantasyFire is a site
that's modeled off of OnlyFans
user generated, adult-only content.
Subscribers pay to view.
Not only has Ines plugged
Shaw's channel in her videos,
but her IP address is within
half a mile of Shaw's bakery.
So Shaw's back in business?
It would appear so.
Unfortunately,
this is Bulgaria's concern,
but we certainly can help them
by grabbing him up
on his outstanding U.S. warrants.
Any theories on how Ines
crossed paths with Shaw?
Not yet, but she went missing
while attending a theater camp
in London.
Europol set up a missing
persons outpost in Sofia
shortly after
the war in Ukraine started.
I can ring up my colleague once we land.
Could be a connection there.
HQ is all over this one.
I'm going to stay back
and keep New York up to speed.
Remember, this guy wiggled
his way off a hook before.
Don't let him do it again.
- Hey, Scott.
- Yeah?
Tell me Shaw isn't a
dead ringer for Jorge Benitez.
♪
I could see a little bit
of a resemblance, I guess.
And here I was thinking
Bolivia was in the rear view.
That was nine years,
two continents, and, uh,
over 50 cases ago, Damian.

[BELL TOLLING]
Director Anton Markov.
Special Agent Raines.
This is Special Agent Powell.
An American fugitive
winds up in your jurisdiction
and you didn't think to notify us?
This is how this is going to start?
We appreciate the NIS's cooperation.
I think what Agent Powell means is
did you know Mark Shaw was in Bulgaria?
Not until you told us.
Our chief prosecutor was recently ousted
on corruption charges.
The defender of the mafia,
the people called him,
so my office is still
dealing with the fallout.
So your American
is the least of my concern.
And to that point,
Agent Ana Dobrev, your liaison.
All yours.
So some of us heard rumors
Mark Shaw was in town.
I, for one, am glad you're
trying to get him out of Bulgaria.
That's great to hear.
Director Markov is not
a big fan of Americans.
We had DEA agents here last year
on drug investigation
and they went a little too cowboy.
Is that right expression?
Yep.
Director Markov arranged
for a police escort
to take them to the airport
for a flight home.
Got it.
Sigrid. It's been too long.
Chuffed to see you,
despite the circumstances.
- My colleague with the FBI.
- Cameron Vo.
Sigrid Hansen. Pleasure to meet you.
Please, come inside.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Agnes, Nora, Elena, and Cora.
All using IP addresses
in the same vicinity
as the pastry shop.
Are these abduction cases?
Refugees fleeing Ukraine.
Border control wrote them off
as casualties of war.
Months later,
here they are on FantasyFire
singing Mark Shaw's praises.
Our missing American was
in the EU for a theater camp.
I mean, targeting refugees
doesn't seem to fit Shaw's MO.
There's no rhyme or reason to any of it.
Sometimes the girls are taken
by force, sometimes not.
Some of them are drugged, others not.
Regardless, I'll send you what I have.
And I'll also put you in touch
with David going forward.
- Going forward?
- Yeah.
Tomorrow is my last day.
I thought you still had six months.
That was the plan, but I resigned.
♪
Smitty, all these missing girls,
I used to know each of their
names, their photographs.
But the numbers,
they just keep adding up.
There are no wins here.
Prepare yourself.

So, uh, why am I supposed to
be looking after you on this case?
What, Forrester said I need babysitting?
Basically.
It's all good on my end, brother.
Uh-uh.
This right here,
this warrants you giving me
a straight answer.
♪
I was UC in Bolivia.
Narco op. That's where me and Scott met.
And I had gotten in
with the target, Jorge Benitez.
I was posing as a pilot
who could move his heroin
and Benitez would throw these parties,
bringing a bunch of girls.
And no one was checking IDs.
I'll put it that way.
So Shaw
he looks and talks just like him.
You needed someone who speaks English?
Yes, thank you. We're with the FBI.
He look familiar?
Maybe he's been in here,
but he's not regular.
Anything else?
Yeah. Can I take a look at that iPad?

Rule number five:
don't take out student loans

Besides, what do you

To increase your chances
of getting prime ass.
[KEYBOARD CLACKS]
How long am I on douchebag duty?
As long as it takes to find Shaw.
Looked over the
bakery's transaction log.
No Mark, no Shaw,
no American credit cards.
- Maybe he paid with cash.
- Mm.
What's this string of numbers?
Probably a logging error.
No name came up for that account.
It could be a crypto card.
Good way to scrub your tracks.
That card's tied to an address in Sofia.
The lease is under Ivan Ivanov.
No judgment, but funny name.
Sounds like Bulgarian for John Doe.

He's claiming not to know where Shaw is.
But we are charging him
with leko prestuplenie.
The best translation in English
is light crime.
Light?
He tried to kill us.
Well, he's claiming you
didn't properly identify yourself

This is why he hid in the closet.

- So Shaw knew about the typo.
- Yeah.
Probably the same way he knew
we were about to raid his house.
We wait two days for a new
warrant, Shaw will be long gone.
Macedonia border's 20 miles away.
No extradition.
OK. So here's the play.
We are going to get Shaw
on new charges in Bulgaria.
Oh man, good luck.
That'll take, what, two years?
We don't have
any other options, Damian.
Human trafficking is heavy enough
that Markov can't delay
a warrant or bury it.
Sigrid connected four open
missing persons cases to Shaw.
Maybe she's heard of this playhouse.
OK, you focus on finding the girls.
We will work the trafficking
angle from the home base.
Copy that.
Pulled whatever history I could get
from the gear at Shaw's place.
We've confirmed that
eight girls were streaming
on FantasyFire from that basement.
Can you prove Shaw was
siphoning the funds?
Well, all the FantasyFire wallets
are getting routed to other
accounts and routed back.
It's a rat's nest of
pass-through entities,
but we're close.
There's got to be a central wallet.
Sit tight.
She called it the playhouse.
I heard about a place like this
from one of the girls we found.
Sounded like it was a grooming spot.
Shaw keeps the girls there
until they're deemed
old enough and pliant enough.
Pliant?
For what? Or do I want to know?
Serbian brothels.
When communism collapsed here in 1989,
state-funded construction projects
were frozen overnight
and Soviet facilities
like factories, schools, power plants,
and prisons were all left to rot.
So traffickers have
their pick of buildings
to stash their victims.
And Bulgarian police
haven't been any help either.
I thought Markov was
just a pencil-pusher.
But do you think that
he could be on the take?
I do.
But I was never able to prove it.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Found it.
All the money coming out of FantasyFire

Where is Ines Rodriguez?
Probably in a world of hurt.
Meaning what?
Someone at the top pulled me into this.
I can tell you who's running
the entire thing.
And trust me,
when you find out who he is,
you're going to be saving a
hell of a lot more than 20 girls.
But I want full immunity.
Do not make a deal with this guy.
He'll give you just enough
to get HQ on board,
but he's never going
to roll over on the big boss.
The deal would only hold
if his intel led to arrests.
If there's a chance we could
take down the whole network,
think of all those girls we could save.
No. That guy in Bolivia, same deal.
Strung us along far enough
to get himself a soft landing.
Yeah, but we're not dealing
with him right now.

It's the same guy, same playbook!
- I'm telling you!
- Damian.

[SIGHS]
[SOFTLY] Yeah.
The assistant director
isn't going for it.
Well, tell him that our window
is closing fast for finding
our missing American.
I did. No dice.
And that there could
be an additional 20 women
from Eastern Europe mixed up in this.
Scott, I'm with you 100%.
But it's a PR thing.
After Miami, HQ is afraid
of losing Shaw again
and getting crucified for it,
so everything has got to go
through official channels only,
which means bringing in the DOJ.
OK, so fine. Then we send the
U.S. attorney everything we got.
Give them our recommendation.
DOJ wants someone there in person
before any deal is offered.
Well, what time frame
are we talking here?
[SIGHS] Three days.
Three days?
In three days,
these women will be scattered
all over Europe being made
to do God knows what, Jubal.
It sucks, I know.
And you can try selling Shaw
or whatever the hell you want

Vasil Manolov, Shaw's lawyer.
His client list reads like a who's
who of Bulgaria's most wanted.
Took me and the team
a while to dig up dirt
because he's methodical
about using burners
and washing cash,
but his court photos all
showed him wearing a Fitbit.
Kyle got a readout of his step log.
Once a month,
Manolov takes out cash
from an LLC tied to Shaw
then walks to a
safe deposit box facility
across the street called UltraSiguren.
Now, security cams
show Manolov accessing a box
registered to a G. Markov.
Markov's first name is Anton.
But there was a Bulgarian
author, Georgi Markov.
He was a political activist
who spoke out about communism.
Anton quotes him a bunch
in his social media.
Maybe he used his favorite
author as an alias.
So if Markov did leak the warrant,
he wanted us off the case from the jump.
If we can prove Markov
is on the take,
that is enough for Europol
to override him.
But we need access to that box.
How the hell are we supposed
to get Markov
to approve a warrant
to search his own stash?
It's Dobrev.

the right thing around here,

Go to Markov. Tell him

us packing in the first place.
Smitty, if you go straight to Europol
With what proof?
We still need access
to that safe deposit box.
Maybe we get Dobrev
to deliver the proof herself.
We accessed some of Shaw's books
and there's one line item
of particular interest,
UltraSiguren 7604.
Siguren means secure.
Maybe it's a security firm Shaw hired.
Could be, but there's also a safe
deposit box facility with that name.

We really hate to drag you
into this mess,
but you are the only person
that we trust.
Leave this with me and only me.
Anyone else will take this
straight to Markov.
- Do you understand?
- We do.
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you. Thank you.
And you won't say anything to your boss?
Not a word.
OK.

Where is Shaw hiding the girls?
Please, I didn't know
there were so many of them.
Doesn't matter.
You leaked classified information.
You enabled it to happen.
He threatened to come after
my mother and my daughter.
So the 200,000 euros just
had nothing to do with it?
I was going to give it all
to Kerina, my daughter.
Please, you have to believe me.
What if Kerina
had been one of the girls
in Shaw's basement?
I scan documents,
leave them in a deposit box,
and don't ask questions.
That's all I know.
You were a cop for 20 years.
I think you know exactly
what you were getting into.
And I won't ask again.
Where is the playhouse?
I don't know where it is.
But I can tell you who runs it.
Our target, Milos Horvat.
Multiple priors,
laundry list of offenses.
We traced him to an
abandoned industrial building
ten clicks outside Sofia.
So let's hope the girls are there.
- Ready when you are.
- Cam, I want to be in this.
Why? So you can crack some more skulls?
No. To have your back.
[SIGHS] Gear up.

Jubal is sending two agents
to pick up Shaw.
NIS is transferring him to Belene
Penitentiary in the meantime.
I need to loop in Forrester now.
I mean, technically,
we didn't see anything, right?
Yeah, but once the Bulgarians
charge him with assault,
cat's out of the bag.
Wish me luck.
Hold off for a tick.
Business first.
The best and the worst thing
about this job
is when I get out of bed in the morning,
I never know what kind of day awaits.
And today? What marks would you give it?
Depends how this conversation goes.
Well, Shaw's off the street.
Horvat and his crew have been
arrested, the girls are safe.
Why end on a sour note?
Drop all charges against Agent Powell
and I won't report your
department's connection
to organized crime to Europol.
We cannot pretend
nothing happened to Shaw.

He was gakked out of his mind
