Blindspot (2015) s03e06 Episode Script

Adoring Suspect

1 [MAN ON RADIO.]
Sentinel Team, be advised the FBI is heading up to talk to the witness.
[RADIO STATIC.]
Copy that.
[GUNSHOT.]
Uhh! [MAN.]
Freeze! [GUNFIRE.]
[GLASS SHATTERS.]
[ALARM BLARING.]
[GUNFIRE CONTINUES.]
[MAN.]
Hey! Uhh! [GUNSHOT, COP GROANING.]
FBI! Visiting hours are over.
Next time, I suggest you bring some flowers.
[GUNSHOTS.]
[CHAMBER CLICKING.]
Son of a It's this damn gun again! - Cut! - [BELL RINGING.]
[WOMAN ON PA.]
And that's a cut.
Thanks, guys.
Let's get first team some water and some touchups.
Let's reset the guns, let's reset the windows.
All right, we're going again in two minutes, people.
No.
No.
Give me that gun.
Why are you waiting until there until you rack it and put one in the chamber? For the dramatic effect.
So you're pointing an empty chamber at your enemy? He would have shot you for being stupid.
Now, the gun's jamming and that slide is catching the brass 'cause you're not holding it tight enough.
Come here.
Like that, all right? Or like like that.
All right, so soon as that guy comes through that window, bang, bang, bang They're dead.
Hey, man, what's the holdup? Just unjam the damn gun already, okay? Who the hell's this guy? I'm your new FBI consultant.
So, do you want your star to look like a real agent, or do you want him to look like an idiot and flush $100 million down the drain? [GRUNTING.]
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Weller.
You sound exhausted.
Are you sure you're getting enough sleep? What do you want? I need another favor.
A favor? After you put a tattoo on Jane that told her that she had a daughter? Our deal wasn't about the daughter.
It was about Berlin.
You know that.
They are the same thing! If she goes looking for one, then she'll find the other.
When she finds out the truth it will destroy her.
Destroy her? Or her love for you? Either way, I guess you better make sure Jane doesn't go looking.
For both your sakes.
Now I know why you just called me on the phone.
Because you know if we're ever in the same room again I am gonna to kill you.
Well, until then, I'll assume our deal still holds.
Do you like movies, Kurt? Hey, Weller, Zapata and I have something that we Something on your mind? It's the latest issue, but there is a tattoo clue in there.
Since when do you follow entertainment news? I don't, all right? It was in my dentist's office.
Lucky you, the latest periodical.
- My dentist has Alf on the cover.
- Yeah.
Look, here's the interview.
All right, Keith Rhodes goes off on everyone in Hollywood, including his own producers.
But I notice this logo.
"Sacred Lynx Productions.
" That is the production company that funds all of Keith's films.
It actually looks like one of the new tattoos, but why would Roman care about a film production company? I don't know but Sacred Lynx Productions, that could be a front for something.
And it is our job to find out what for.
Okay, so these squares all over the tattoo decoding them could tell us what we're dealing with.
So do it.
And can you loop in Reade and Hirst? Uh yeah, that's actually what Tasha and I wanted to talk to you about.
So you two are sure about this? Yeah, the tattoos point to Hirst.
Well, the tattoos point to things about us, too.
Not like this.
The tattoos expose a sustained pattern of corruption on behalf of someone big at the FBI.
Stuart was murdered for getting close to the truth.
[ZAPATA.]
And Hirst is covering up that murder.
We caught her trying to destroy evidence and pin it on Reade.
Well, this is Roman's end game.
He wants us to take down the director of the entire FBI.
We have to tell Reade.
[PATTERSON.]
We tried to tell Reade, but he wouldn't listen.
Sometimes loyalty can blind you to the truth.
You don't think Reade is in league with her? No! Reade is not a criminal, okay? We know him.
He's innocent.
Zapata's right.
Hirst wouldn't have tried to frame Reade if he was connected to her crimes.
If he sides with Hirst through some misplaced allegiance He could be an obstacle in trying to take her down.
Or get pulled down with her.
[BELL CLANGING.]
Everything is there.
Who she talks to, where she eats.
Even how she likes her coffee.
Mr.
Jakeman? I will be disappointed if you're just some jilted ex.
I'm paying you not to care who I am.
Or try to find out.
Understood? Sacred Linx Productions is a Russian company that came out of nowhere and became a major backer of Keith Rhodes' movies.
We don't know who owns it It was set up through a maze of tax shelters.
If this company has been around, why didn't your database make a match sooner? That's an excellent question.
Thought you had community service today.
And what better community to serve than my poor, pop culture-deprived friends with their Keith Rhodes case.
Hey, I've been a big fan since his sitcom days.
So few child actors make the successful transition into adulthood.
He could have gone full Screech.
Rich All I'm saying is you're gonna want me for this case.
Also, can you please sign this to get me out of community service? Thank you.
Okay, so where were we? [PATTERSON.]
The tattoo contains enough differences from the logo, which is why the database missed it.
And, if you assign values to these squares based on how shaded they are, do a little math that leads to a backup account for a paparazzi service that has a keen interest in Keith Rhodes.
Specifically, the tattoo points to this picture, which was taken on a movie set in Europe.
That is Niko Popov, leader of The Brigada, a transnational crime syndicate.
You name it, they traffic in it guns, drugs, humans.
They've been spreading across Eastern Europe like the plague.
Using terrorist acts to take down anyone who stands in their way.
My friends at INTERPOL call Niko "The Canary.
" Because he loves to sing? Because he never leaves Moscow unless he's scouting an attack.
If you see him, it means death is coming.
I mean, he could do that and sing.
Okay, what's an American movie star doing hanging out with an international terrorist? The Brigada's been wanting to make a splash in the US for some time now.
But the CIA knows almost nothing about their American associates.
Well, we know one now.
Keith Rhodes.
Um, guys, I'm scrolling through the Keith Rhodes photo account, and you're gonna want to see this.
Rich What? No, not Not the woman.
That's Niko's receding hairline leaving the nightclub.
This was taken yesterday.
In Manhattan.
Wait, if Niko's here Then so's The Brigada.
And they're about to attack US soil.
With Niko Popov on US soil, I have to put DHS on high alert.
Reade, your team is empowered to do whatever it takes to stop whatever he's plotting.
All right, you heard the lady.
She's got our back.
Let's not let her down.
[WELLER.]
We need eyes on that nightclub - in case Niko goes back there.
- You got it.
Our only other lead right now is an overrated Hollywood actor.
Overrated? The man has a Moon Man award for Best Kiss How dare you? It's gonna be tough talking to Keith without tipping off Niko the FBI's onto him.
You're right.
We're gonna need a good cover to get in there.
Sub in as Keith's driver? Breach his house as utility workers.
Or we could go undercover as ourselves.
Keith is currently shooting "A Death Before Dying," about a roguish FBI agent who gets too close to an asset with a deadly secret.
[CHUCKLING.]
Oh, my God, that sounds ridiculous.
But if anyone could pull that off, it's Keith.
[PATTERSON.]
Look they already have an FBI consultant.
Could swap one of us in.
I'm your new FBI consultant.
So, do you want your star to look like a real agent, or do you want him to look like an idiot and flush $100 million down the drain? Let's just go again.
We're going again! See? This is what I wanted.
Authenticity! This guy knows what he's talking about 'cause he's a real cop.
No, I'm a federal agent.
Exactly.
See? Authentic! [DIRECTOR.]
Let's go back to one! I trained with the Green Berets for my last film.
They practically said I was field ready by the end.
If you see something you don't like, you let me know.
'Cause I'm all about real, okay? There is something that I do want to talk to you about.
Oh, well, awesome.
Let's, uh, let's talk over lunch.
Here's your gun.
- Hold it tight.
- Okay.
Just get it done.
[PHONE BEEPS OFF.]
[SIGHS.]
Don't pay too much attention to our hack director back there.
If having you on set makes Keith happy, it makes me happy.
Booky Bentley, producer.
Special Agent Weller.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, we need to rescan your tattoos.
Is that necessary? I mean, as much as I love getting naked and spun around while millions of lasers and cameras scan my body, that's Hirst has already used her power to bury leads and manipulate evidence.
Which means there's a strong chance she's already corrupted the tattoo database to get us off her trail.
So, we need to set up our own secure database, off site, and away from Hirst.
Easier said than done.
We can't scan my body without the metal disc that activates my new tattoos.
And they're not gonna just let us walk out of here with it.
There are metal detectors at every exit, specifically designed to keep things like that from leaving.
You two get the discs.
I'll take care of the metal detector.
Ugh! She's totally gonna get some cool CIA gadget.
Patterson, um About the search for my daughter.
Yes, I I am on it.
Um, we haven't found anything yet, but I did I changed my mind, I don't want to find her.
Okay I Aren't you just like a little bit curious where half of your DNA wound up? This girl's been living her own life for the last 18 years.
Without me and all the stuff that comes with me.
Whatever she's doing I'll just make everything more complicated for her.
I totally understand.
But maybe she's looking for the truth.
I mean, maybe she's been searching for you this whole time.
I I'm totally overstepping my bounds right now, I You do whatever you think is right.
[GRUNTING.]
Don't worry, we gussy it up in post.
[GRUNTING CONTINUES.]
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING, KEITH MOANING.]
Uhh! He's not acting.
That machine is really on.
Call an ambulance! [MAN.]
Get the medic! [MAN 2.]
Right away! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Tom? Tom Jakeman? Blake? Oh, my God.
Sorry, I guess I was a little too into my book.
You like Didion? I just re-read "Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
" One of the best.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
So weird running into you.
I mean, good weird, obviously.
I see you're still wearing your wish bracelet.
You deserve this wish more than I do.
Well, it's bad luck to take it off, remember? So, what's my favorite charity auction bidder doing in Barcelona? It's a long story.
It involves a friend, his funeral, and a list of cities he always wanted to visit.
The same friend you mentioned at the auction.
You have a good memory.
And you have a good heart.
My mate was obsessed with this city, and I I mean, I barely know where to start.
Oh, well, lucky for you, I practically grew up here.
So, there's the Gothic Quarter and Parc Guell and What are you doing this afternoon? I'd I'd love to show you some of my favorite spots.
I mean I don't want to impose.
You're not, and I'm not taking "no" for an answer.
All right.
Okay.
[SIREN BLARES, INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
[KEITH GROANS.]
[MEDIC.]
No, no, no, no, don't fight.
I don't think it's a coincidence that a day after Niko was spotted in the city, Keith almost died in a freak accident on the set.
You think Niko tried to kill him? I spoke to the prop master.
He swears that someone had tampered with the defibrillator.
I believe him.
[READE.]
We gotta bring Keith in.
We do that, Niko knows we're onto him.
Special Agent Weller! That guy saved my life! He's a real national hero! I got an idea.
[ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES.]
Okay, Keith, let me show you around.
Yes, this is great.
This research is really gonna ground the performance.
I just want it to be real.
And this is as real as it gets.
I mean, you guys put your lives on the line for, like, a tenth of what I make, I mean That's that's real.
The realest.
[WELLER.]
Keith, this is Patterson.
And this is Jane.
This is Tasha.
Rich Dotcom.
Maybe you've heard of me? Former King of the Dark Web? Current FBI secret weapon? Um that's nice ink.
I bet there's a great story there.
- You'd never believe it.
- Try me.
You know, I've seen all your movies.
Even the bad ones.
What? Not that there's bad ones.
Why would I say that? Okay.
So Patterson.
What do you do? Oh, I just, you know, work here.
Just doing this stuff.
Just real stuff.
[WELLER.]
Okay, Keith, uh let's go on that tour.
- Okay.
Ready.
- Yeah.
So this is where the magic happens, huh? [WELLER.]
Yeah.
You can take a seat, Keith.
Oh, yeah, run me through it.
Show me how to break a perp and get him to start confessing.
What can you tell us about this man? Wait, wait, give me some context first, you know? What's my character? Who is this guy to me? [CHUCKLING.]
Are you guys interrogating me? Where is this guy right now? Niko? I [CHUCKLES.]
I I don't know, he's just some rich film buff who likes to invest in the movies.
We believe that this "film buff" - just tried to kill you.
- What? Oh, the defib thing? No, that was That was an accident.
Sacred Lynx Productions is actually a front for The Brigada.
They're a terrorist group that is responsible for a massive amount of death and destruction across Europe and Asia.
"My last movie cost a hundred mill.
"Critics said it looked cheap.
"Asked where all the money went good question.
"Why don't they ask those 'expletives' over at Sacred Lynx?" You just went on a public tirade against the terrorists that were laundering money through your moviee.
Do you still think today was an accident? Wait, so You're saying terrorists are producing my movies? My movies are funding terrorism? He's playing dumb.
Sadly, I don't think he is.
He's not that good of an an actor.
You shut your mouth.
Man, Booky The guy that I met on the set? What about him? I knew he was way in over his head.
After a couple of his movies bombed, he fell into debt.
I told him to cut your losses.
"Why don't you produce some indies?" He was over here getting excited about some investors from Moscow.
Niko and The Brigada.
First came Niko and his money, and then all of his list of demands.
Like what? He was just very particular about the sets we build and the props we use.
Locations, that That was his big thing.
He was always specific about the the cities we shoot in.
You know, some made sense.
Big cities, big production value.
But others, I've never even heard of.
Kursk, "Gronzy," Omsk.
You know where Omsk is? In Siberia.
The house he rented me was a barn.
A barn.
Those cities that Keith's never heard of all home to major weapons plants.
How major are we talking? Mass destruction.
High-yield explosives, chemical weapons.
That's what we on the dark web call "the good stuff.
" The Brigada uses international film productions to transport WMDs to the cities where they set them off.
And now they're filming in New York.
Where did the production move from? Omsk, where the CIA believes Russia manufactures cyclosarin, a nerve agent with no antidote.
A single drop could kill everyone in this room.
Hey, Niko! Did you try to kill Keith? He's been talking to the press.
He's an actor! It's his job to talk to the press! Not about us.
We are too close to let his mouth sink us now.
Close? Close to what? Should I ask what you're really moving here? No, you shouldn't.
You just control your star and run your business.
Or I'll find someone else to do business with, got it? We gotta figure out what Niko's target is.
- If he has cyclosarin - Not "if" a CIA wiretap just confirmed that 12 canisters of the gas are missing from Omsk.
He's moving it in props and sets.
The studio has to be his staging area.
Booky's leverage box.
Booky's a shark.
He records everybody's phone conversations for leverage.
So, if we get our hands on those recordings, we can work out which props and sets Niko's using.
[KEITH.]
That's gonna be a problem.
He keeps all the recordings in a safe in his office.
It's not a problem for Patterson.
I've seen it in action.
That safe only responds to Booky's biometrics, starting with his thumbprint.
Not a problem.
Then it asks for three voice prompts, which only responds to his voice.
Not a problem.
The voice prompts are randomly generated.
Well, that could be a problem.
I mean, if we don't know what the words will be, we can't capture Booky saying it in advance.
Um I have an idea.
It involves some light role playing.
Of course it does.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
This city's been like a second home to me.
My family summers here.
You know you're rich when you use seasons as verbs.
Well, you're not exactly poor yourself anymore.
Well, I'm poor where it counts.
I mean, last night a waiter asked me what wine I wanted with my swordfish Completely froze up.
White burgundy.
Well what about halibut? Pinot grigio.
- Octopus.
- Pinot noir.
- M&Ms? - Diet Coke.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
My dad trained me well.
So, your dad's a wine guy? The wine guy.
Had you stuck around the auction that night, you would've heard my famous wine story.
Really? Well, do tell.
Well, when I was 14, my parents were having a dinner party with some other couples and they caught me and a friend sneaking upstairs with a bottle we stole from their wine cellar.
And my dad comes up to me, and in front of the whole party he takes the bottle out of my hand.
I'm completely terrified.
And then he asks what we're planning to eat.
I say, "Pizza.
" And he just looks at me and says "This is too full-bodied.
Get a Chianti.
" [BOTH LAUGHING.]
That was my first lesson in wine pairings.
A forgiving parent.
Must be nice having one of those.
Yeah.
What's your family like? A little bit different than yours.
[WOMAN.]
Booky Bentley, please hold.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Booky Bentley, please hold.
[TAPPING SOUND.]
Stop it.
What? Your leg.
Sorry, it's my first movie pitch.
You only get one shot.
It's not a real pitch.
It is if they buy it! Ow, jeez! So sorry I'm late.
I'm always late.
I always apologize, and it never sounds sincere.
You must be Rich and Jane.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Hi, there.
How are you? Booky Bentley.
So, Rich Keith tells me you've got a hell of a story.
Yes, it's "The Social Network" meets "Catch Me if You Can" meets "Speed.
" Well, those are certainly three movie titles.
[CHUCKLING.]
And Jane, what do you Uh, Rich's manager.
I manage him.
Hmm.
I bet you do.
So, anyone need anything before we start? Water? Water? Water'd be great, yeah, any kind of, uh, sparkling mineral, nothing domestic, of course.
Maybe some quartered limes on the side, that'd be fun.
- I'm not gonna do that.
- Okay.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Booky's in a meeting.
Mm-hmm.
I'll give him the message.
Can I help you? Yeah, I, uh, think I parked my car a little too close to Booky's Aston Martin, and when I opened the door What did you do? It's pretty banged up.
Okay, there's the award Keith told us to look for.
All right, do your thing.
I don't know if Jane told you, but she called me off the daughter search.
Okay.
If that's what she wants Okay, it's just that I I had already cast out a few lines, and And one of them caught something.
It's not a lot.
But it's still a lead to pursue.
[DEVICE TRILLING.]
Giving it to her doesn't feel right, but neither does sitting on it.
I should give it to her, right? Look why don't you just give it to me? All right? I'll look over it.
I mean, she's already hurting so much.
There's no point in making it worse if it turns out to be nothing.
[DEVICE BEEPING.]
Got it.
[BEEPING.]
[BEEPING.]
Title card: "Constantinople, 1870.
" We follow a stray cat through an open air market to find a little girl, the only daughter of a humble sheep herder, who dreams one day of coming to America.
I'm sorry, I thought this story was about a super hacker? Oh, it is, but to understand Rich Dotcom, you must first understand Great Grandmother Dotcom.
The dear angel who guides me from beyond the grave.
[WELLER.]
Rich, Jane Here comes the first voice prompt.
Excalibur.
The most remarkable thing about this little girl, is that she is an avid sword collector.
And the jewel of her collection, which she shows off at market every Sunday is, um Oh, what's that, uh, one sword? You know, the one from the stone, from the myth, that he pulls out? Excalibur? "That" the one.
[BOOKY.]
Excalibur? [BEEP.]
And there you go.
Here comes the second prompt.
[TRILLING.]
Poodle skirt? Now we pull a Soderbergh and jump forward in time for absolutely no reason.
It's the 1950s.
The little girl is now 70 years old.
But she's finally made it to America.
And when you think of 1950s America, you think of The Korean War? Yes, also Sock hops, malt shops, saddle shoes, the Mashed Potato I get it, I get it.
It's the '50s.
So, spare me every minute detail and just stick to the story.
We'll skip past the egg creams and the poodle skirts, okay? [BOOKY.]
Poodle skirts.
Here comes the final prompt.
You wanna know my favorite flavor of egg cream, Booky? You're gonna love this.
Uh-oh! Looks like I'm needed on set.
So let's put a pin in this for now.
Intrigued though I am to hear about your favorite fountain drink flavors.
Just give me a second.
It's gonna dovetail right into the climax.
Butterscotch.
It's my personal mantra, and now it's yours.
Butterscotch.
May peace be with you.
[BOOKY.]
Butterscotch.
[BEEPING.]
[CLICK.]
- Yes - Okay.
Let's reschedule this real, real soon.
Because this has been a delightful not-waste of my time.
Good-bye forever.
Patterson, Weller, Booky's on the move.
Get out of there now.
[PHONE RINGING.]
What the hell? Alise, reception is empty again! We got Booky's recordings.
[READE.]
Patterson, get it back to the lab.
Start going through 'em.
Weller, Jane, head to the studio.
So, is this another meaningful place for you? Not yet, but I'm hopeful.
[BLAKE GASPS.]
Hey, hey, hey.
[CROWD SHOUTING.]
You don't wanna do this.
[GRUNTING.]
Tom! Tom, are you okay? Help! Hey, Patterson pinpoint the cyclosarin yet? No, not yet, they're still going through all the recordings.
It's gonna take 'em a while, so let's start searching.
All right, it would need to be in a place that's large, ventilated, that on one could stumble in uninvited.
That's every building on this lot.
Jane, Rich, you two take the west side.
- I'll take the east.
- Uh, I should have a gun, right? I mean, we're in the field.
We're hunting terrorists.
[WELLER.]
You can't have a gun, Rich.
- I'll go with you.
- No, it's okay.
No, I know every inch of this place, you need me.
Fine.
And I think I should get a gun, too.
No.
I've seen you with a weapon.
You're not getting one.
- No? - No.
[READE.]
Keith wasn't kidding.
Booky records all of his conversations with everyone, so Zapata and Patterson have a ton to sift through.
And Weller and Jane? Uh, they're already at the studio searching with Rich.
And Niko? Has no idea we're even onto him.
It's like you were born to do this.
Well, we still don't know where the cyclosarin is yet, so there's that.
Take the compliment.
It's free.
[CHUCKLES.]
Is there something on your mind? Uh yeah, it's probably not a big deal.
But it's about the Loewe case.
[HANDCUFFS SNAPPING.]
I've been reviewing the Justice Department cases and you didn't mention being on the UGA Law Review with Loewe's first wife.
[SCOFFS.]
It's funny.
Their divorce was so long ago the connection slipped my mind.
It's been decades since I spoke to anyone in the family.
Well, still should've been disclosed, though, right? I suppose.
Although, mentioning it could've gotten Loewe special treatment.
And that guy should rot in prison for as long as possible, wouldn't you say? Right, right, which is why I said, it probably isn't a big deal.
Just wanted to mention it.
[JANE SIGHS.]
All right, be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary.
You know what I mean.
You know, I couldn't help but overhear you and Patterson talking about, uh, Jane Junior? I really don't want to talk about it, Rich.
I get it, okay, I really do.
I mean, I'm terrified that there's a little Dicky Dotcom out there that I don't know about.
Because of the child support? No, because a soothsayer once told me I'd be murdered by somebody with baby hands.
Don't worry about it, but, uh, you know my pitch about the little Turkish girl who dreams of America? That wasn't about my great grandma.
That was about you.
Oh, this should be good.
See, I figure you're on a journey, just like that girl, and maybe your "America" is your daughter.
Maybe it isn't, I don't know, but, uh I just feel like your story deserves a happy ending.
Well, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly the happy ending type.
Jane look at me.
I used to be a bad guy.
Now I'm a good guy because of you.
And if you can give me a happy ending, shouldn't you try to give one to yourself? Well, I Hey! Thank you, but you really didn't have to.
In fact, I should probably get back to my hotel.
Well, you shouldn't be alone when you're recovering from a concussion.
Oh, is that what the doctor said? No, it's what I say.
Besides, you got banged up protecting me.
The least I can do is let you stay here and be taken care of.
I don't know, this isn't really my style.
Yeah, it's nobody's style, except my father's.
You know, every inch from the basement to the view is designed to intimidate.
That doesn't sound much like a man who let his teenage daughter steal a bottle of wine.
You know, the part I don't tell is that he didn't speak to me for two months afterwards.
I cried and said I was sorry.
Begged him to punish me and get it over with, but nothing.
And then one day, his Benz was waiting for me outside of my school, and when I got in, he said "Never forget what it feels like to lose the respect of your father.
" And then, uh, we drove home and And never talked about it again.
That's awful.
Well, we're We're very close now.
Still Still.
Well, thank you.
For all of this.
Thank you.
You were amazing today.
[COMPUTER BEEPS.]
Got it! Can you be a little more specific? I found a sample of Niko's voice and coded a script to automate the search.
In a minute, we should know where Niko is moving those weapons.
Good because I've been waiting a minute to show you something.
Oh, okay, well, we're still working on a case.
We should probably wait to drink it till after work.
[GASPS.]
Ooh I see.
So we can get the metal tattoo disc out of here.
Put whatever you want inside and it still pours and everything.
Okay, we don't stop the disc from triggering the metal detector.
We disguise it.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
Oh, hey! So, such good news.
Just stop it! I don't know what you guys are up to, but if this has anything to do with Hirst, you gotta drop it.
- Reade - Don't "Reade" me.
Reade What did I just say? No, no, no, it It's my audio scrubber.
It just found something.
[COMPUTER BEEPING.]
[PATTERSON.]
Weller, Jane? It looks like Niko is moving his contraband in the sets of a, uh, movie called "Wings of Icarus.
" Keith, where's "The Wings of Icarus" filming? I've never even heard of that movie.
He doesn't know it.
That's because it's not real.
Created just for smuggling.
Some sets should be in the Studio Annex, Building 3B.
That's where the cyclosarin should be.
Copy that.
Keith, jump out.
Okay, what do you need me to do? - You stay here.
- Hey! Jane, you got that? Copy, meet you there.
We're too late.
The cyclosarin's already on the move.
The attack's already in motion.
We just missed 'em.
You can tell that from the dust? No, I'm just trying to stay optimistic.
Where are the weapons? Are they gone already?! Keith, I told you to stay back! [AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE, KEITH SHOUTS.]
Keith! Stay down! Uhh! Six, seven Is he out of bullets? No.
Now he is.

We don't wanna ruin the scene.
[GUNSHOT.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Shooter is down and out.
But he's got a vendor permit.
For the Blue and Red StreetFest.
[READE.]
That's tonight.
It's put on by charitable foundations of the NYPD and Fire Department.
It's outdoors, in the middle of the city, with thousands of people attending, including the mayor.
And hundreds of cops and firefighters.
How do you make a terrorist attack worse? You make it so the first responders can't respond.
Niko is planning to kneecap local authorities before setting up operations.
It's the perfect Ground Zero.
What exactly is this permit? It was obtained by Sacred Lynx Productions to distribute movie food from hot dog and popcorn carts.
They're gonna hide the cyclosarin in the food carts.
The prop house is full of stuff like that.
Jane, you meet me at the prop house.
- Rich, put pressure on that! - Yeah.
Take care of him! Don't let him die! All right! And I'll send agents to the StreetFest.
[WHISPERING.]
Jane, Jane, stop, stop.
Remember, we can't shoot towards those carts 'cause of the cyclosarin.
Chemical weapons? You brought chemical weapons onto my lot?! Don't go out.
Booky can I.
D.

Come on, Booky, go back inside.
- important person as - Shut up! [WEAKLY.]
Okay.
FBI! Oh, thank God.
[GUNSHOTS.]
Go behind there go! [GUNFIRE CONTINUES.]
Gun powder, propane.
A flamethrower.
Great, more things we can't shoot at.
This is pretty crazy, huh? This morning you're like this untouchable movie star.
And now we're best friends and I'm saving your life.
How's that for pressure, by the way? - It's a bit much.
- Shh, shh, shh.
The medics are coming, it's okay.
[SPEAKS RUSSIAN.]
Down.
Down! Down! [BOTH GRUNTING.]
[CHAMBER CLICKING.]
Uhh! [BOTH GRUNTING.]
Nothing in here is real.
Uhh! Agh! [FAN WHIRRING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[GRUNTING.]
The trucks are about to pull away! FBI! [GUNFIRE.]
Reade! We need a perimeter around the studio! Don't let anything off this lot! Rich! Oh, my God, this is so much better than a gun.
Put it down, Rich.
Hope I wasn't too rough with you earlier.
No, you were perfect.
This is not enough.
It's exactly what we agreed on.
I think we need to modify the agreement.
That woman you're stalking you didn't tell me who her family was.
I'm gonna need hazard pay.
Hazard pay or hush money? Is there any difference? [GRUNTING.]
I have other ways to keep people quiet.
Uhh! [THUDS.]
My last tip as your FBI consultant.
When a federal agent tells you to stay back, you gotta stay the hell back.
- Last tip? - Yeah.
Come on, Kurt, I need a guy like you on a movie set.
No, I'm I'm not cut out for Hollywood.
But if you ever, like, need some real action, you know, you're always welcome at the FBI.
Really? No.
Not at all.
[BOTH CHUCKLING.]
No.
- Come here.
- Oh! Oh, jeez, your arm.
I'm so sorry.
Rich, take him to the elevator.
You got it.
You all right? You know, he shot me once.
Weller, hey, uh That lead on Jane's daughter.
The one you said you'd look into? This nurse worked at the maternity ward the day Jane's daughter left the hospital.
Kept her own notes, separate from hospital records and I know it's been a long time, but maybe she has some details on the adoptive parents.
Can't hurt to look into it.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Um, Jane, there's I What was that for? I was just thinking about something Rich said.
Way to ruin the moment.
[CHUCKLING.]
No We were talking about the whole daughter thing.
And he said he wants me to find my happy ending.
But I've already found it.
I'll see you in the lobby.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
[KNOCK ON GLASS.]
Got a minute? For you, always.
You were at the Loewe Cancer Fund brunch last spring.
I go to a lot of events.
It's just You told me you hadn't spoken to anyone from the family in decades.
I'm just checking to make sure that's still your recollection.
Trust is the cornerstone of our work here.
Trust from the people.
Trust in each other.
I don't need to tell you how critical it is to maintain that trust.
No, you don't, which is why I'm just asking for some clarity here.
Your "indiscretion" with drugs two years ago could've completely derailed your promotion to assistant director.
But I made sure that would never happen.
In fact, I fast-tracked your appointment.
Because I trust you.
FBI drug tests miss things sometimes, but I don't.
Relax, Reade.
I protect my people.
You did some good work today.
Keep it up.
You have a good night Assistant Director.
Hirst is dirty.
We gotta take her down.
Come in.
Little late to the party.
