Castle s03e17 Episode Script
Countdown
Previously on Castle I'm Mark Fallon, Department of Homeland Security.
Jamal Alhabi.
He had his cousin Amir fashion a dirty bomb.
How can you not know the man you're sharing a bed with is a terrorist? I swear to you, I don't know Jamal and Amir are not terrorists.
You're chasing the wrong guys! - Let's just talk about something else.
- How's Josh? He's gone.
He's always gone.
"Fariq Yusef.
Syrian Consulate.
" At your service.
As events unfold, you may find yourself in need of a man with my skills.
What if Amir suspected another driver? So the last two places Amir was, and Kevin McCann has been to both of them? We got a location on the truck.
We at least have to go see why this warehouse area is so popular.
Open her up! The bomb was not in the truck.
No, sir.
That's negative.
The bomb was not in the truck.
We have rad crews on the ground now.
Yes, sir.
I'll keep you apprised.
Keep the perimeter at a three-block radius, and keep the press the hell out of here.
We don't need a panic on our hands, all right? Sir, radiation teams have finished sweeping the immediate area.
Negative across the board.
If they moved the device, it's not nearby.
It makes no sense.
Why would they move it? It's a rodeo clown.
Rodeo clown? The truck, it's a diversion.
Jamal must've sensed we were closing in.
He gave us something to chase, throw us off the target.
He's playing us.
So we're back to square one.
We gotta find Jamal.
Move in on his employees.
Shake the trees.
Somebody's gotta know something.
You think Fallon knows he's chasing a dead man? No.
And he won't know unless we get out of here.
You think they're coming back? Why would they? For Jamal.
Why else would they keep his body on ice? Whoever's behind this, wanted to preserve his body for some reason.
I'm thinking they wanted his body in that van with the bomb.
That way, when the bomb goes off They'd have his remains and his DNA at the crime scene.
People would think that he was the terrorist.
Right.
And then the real terrorists would get away scot-free.
Okay, so then the question is why? What is their agenda? We're not going to find out in here.
Well, Castle, thank you for stating the obvious.
Got anything? No, no.
No thermostat, no control box.
It must be on the outside.
Got any bars on your phone? No.
Wait, wait, wait No.
You? No.
How cold do you think it is in here? Judging by the way that it feels, I'd say it's well below freezing.
How long do you think we're gonna last, dressed like this? A couple of hours at the most.
That's what I thought, too.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! That door is made of steel.
I don't think that's going to do anything.
Castle, nobody knows that we're in here.
Nobody even knows to look for us.
We're gonna freeze to death if we don't get out of here.
Well, maybe there's another way out.
Right.
Yeah.
On three? Yeah.
One - Two - Three.
Okay, again.
One - Two - Three.
Again.
One - Two - Three.
We didn't have to come back.
I was fine, you know.
Fine? I could literally feel your anxiety level rising the further we got from the city.
A spiritual retreat is supposed to be spiritual, darling, not stressful.
We'll do it another time when you don't have a test hanging over you.
Although I could've written you a brilliant excuse.
I used to write the best ones for your father.
Circus accidents, apartment fires Movie night? I don't know.
He has the projector up, but Huh.
He's not here.
Well, maybe he's out.
As in Yes.
But he always calls when he's out.
Or leaves a note.
Well, he figured we were gone, so why bother? It's late, darling.
Come on.
We'll ask him in the morning.
Castle, that's not good.
No.
It's not.
All right.
Stand back.
- What are you gonna do? - Just stand back.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you trying to kill us sooner? Do you have a better idea? Maybe just save the few rounds in case they come back.
Castle, I could use a silver lining right about now.
Okay? Yeah.
I wish I had one.
This doesn't make any sense.
What, bro? These guys who work for Jamal's moving company.
They are Middle Eastern, but most of them are citizens, born here in the States.
Aside from a couple of traffic violations, their records are clean.
Maybe that's why they were recruited.
Now you're starting to sound like Fallon.
Maybe Castle was right.
Maybe there is something else going on here.
Ryan.
You get anything? Nothing so far.
They claim to not to know anything about Jamal's whereabouts or his activities.
And the ones that are lawyering up are accusing us of racial profiling.
They're not wrong.
You okay? Compared to a nuke, a dirty bomb is a fairly crude device.
It's designed to instill fear in the populace.
The majority of the immediate damage is gonna come from the conventional explosion, creating a kill zone.
Like Oklahoma City.
Except for it's not just a building that falls.
It spreads radiation for several blocks, that's your secondary kill zone.
If left untreated, people can die from radiation poisoning in less than a week.
But what makes this such an effective terror weapon is the outer zone.
Now in this area, everybody seems fine at first.
Then the cancers start showing up.
Babies, kids, adults.
And with every new case that's reported, people flock to the emergency rooms, overwhelm the system.
It's like we're being attacked all over again.
If we can't find the bomb, maybe we can find the target.
Pull everybody you got.
Give me a list of every significant event going on in the city for the next 48 hours.
Any place where people might gather - in large numbers.
- This is New York City.
There are a hundred events going on every day.
We have to narrow it down.
Focus on anything political or government related.
There any sporting events going on? What's happening at the U.
N? Maybe there's a reason they're choosing to strike now.
Sir, can I speak with you alone? Excuse us.
So, what's wrong? I just got off the phone with Castle's daughter.
Apparently, he hasn't come home, and she hasn't been able to reach him on his cell.
- So? - Castle got kicked off the task force.
- Why isn't he at home? - How should I know? Beckett's not answering her phone either.
We thought, given their history that We thought the two of them might have got onto something.
You two do realize that a terror cell is threatening to strike and thousands of lives may be at risk.
- Yes, sir.
But - What do you want me to do? Send out a search party because your pals aren't answering their cell phones in the middle of the night? They could be out having a cold one.
- Captain - I appreciate your concern.
And I'm sure they appreciate your concern.
But they can take care of themselves.
Besides, we have a terrorist to find.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Castle, are you there? Yeah, yeah.
I'm all right, I'm all right I'm right here.
I can't feel anything.
Oh.
I always thought, being a cop, I'd take a bullet.
I never thought I'd freeze to death.
Hey, we're not dead yet.
I just wish this was one of your books, then you could rewrite the ending.
I'm I'm sorry.
For what? For being me.
Hmm.
Going rogue.
Getting you into this.
- lf we hadn't gone on our own - No, shh.
Castle, no.
Okay.
You were right.
We found the bomb.
We are just too late, okay? Castle.
Yeah? Thank you for being there.
Always.
I just wanted you to know how much I Hey, Kate Hey.
Stay with me.
Kate.
Stay with me.
Easy, pal.
Beckett? Where is she? - Sir, I'm gonna need you to calm down.
- Where is she? She's gonna be fine.
You're both fine.
Got to you just in time.
- Josh? - Hey.
So, you're recovering from a moderate case of hypothermia.
You're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while, but with some warmth and some fluids you be should be all right.
I thought you were in Haiti.
Didn't go.
It's gonna hurt.
Okay.
Let's see if we can't get you to sit up.
All right, move slowly.
There you go.
How long was I out? I don't know.
About an hour.
The bomb We searched the entire warehouse.
It's gone.
How'd you find us? Alexis called.
Said you didn't come home.
Alexis? She's supposed to be out of town.
I guess she came back.
We figured you were with Beckett, until Josh called.
We thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders, so we sent patrol units everywhere we figured you'd be moronic enough to go.
Found Beckett's car, and we searched the area until we found the light from the storage container.
Well, I'm glad my stupidity's predictable.
You pulled us out of there? Thanks.
- So your boy's back in town.
- Mmm-hmm.
He came back.
So what does that mean to you? It means we have a chance.
Come on.
Fallon wants to debrief.
You think he's ready to believe us? NEST confirms high-levels of residual radiation along with the military-grade Semtex.
There's no question that device was here.
I'll have my team pull surveillance tape on every camera within a quarter-mile of here.
Sounds good.
I'll catch up to you.
- Beckett.
- Sir.
You two.
Are you always this stubborn and insubordinate? Only when we're trying to save the world.
I'd be more impressed if you succeeded.
How did you know to come here? Security cameras in Amir's cab.
We think that he was keeping tabs on one of his drivers, Kevin McCann.
We pulled McCann's route records.
Turns out he visited that storage facility in Washington Heights where the radioactive material was being kept and this warehouse.
Long before Amir did.
McCann was here before him? Yeah.
It looks like Amir was following McCann, trying to figure out what he was up to, until he was caught and killed.
And with Amir, their intended patsy, dead, we think they were trying to implicate his cousin Jamal as the bomber.
That's why they were keeping his body on ice.
Did you see any other members of the cell here? - No, it was dark.
- And they were shooting.
But we do know that the bomb is housed in a white commercial van with a rear and side passenger door.
A white van in New York City.
Well, that narrows it down.
We saw the counter.
It's set to go off at 4:00 today.
That's less than 10 hours from now.
All right.
I'll put up checkpoints, but it's already in the city.
Look, I know all the evidence points to Amir and Jamal, but something bigger is going on here, and Kevin McCann is involved.
Got it.
Yo, that was the taxi company.
McCann's supposed to be on shift right now, but he didn't show up.
And he's not answering his phone.
Did you get an address? DMV lists an apartment off Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.
All right, get a team together.
Go up there and get him.
- Agent Fallon.
- Yeah.
Given the circumstances, we'd like to request to be reinstated on the task force.
Well, that's not up to me.
Be up to your doctor, isn't it? You know, it's funny.
When I first met you two, I thought you were together.
Oh.
No.
Just friends.
Get cleaned up.
We've got a long day ahead of us.
All right, guys.
Oh, Richard, darling.
Oh, are you all right? Are you using that blanket? - No, I'm gonna give it to you.
- Thank you.
- You poor baby, wow.
- Ooh, ooh.
Thank you.
You look like death warmed over.
If someone tries to sell you on cryogenics, say no.
I knew you wouldn't turn your phone off without leaving me a message.
Now, is this about the cab driver? Look, I need you girls to do something, for me.
But I don't want you to ask any questions.
I want you to go to the Hamptons.
I want you to stay there for the weekend.
Richard, what is this about? Did you not That's a question.
Look, there might be an event that would make it very dangerous to stay in the city.
- What are you doing? - Calling Ashley.
No, no, no, no.
You can't tell anybody.
Okay? You can't tell anybody.
You tell Ashley, he'll tell his parents, they'll call someone they love and a panic will make this thing a thousand times harder to stop.
- Dad, he's my boyfriend.
- I know.
- That isn't fair, you can't - Fair has nothing to do with it.
I need you to go.
Now.
But you'll come, too? I will when I can.
But I need you to go.
Now.
Okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Figured you could use the caffeine and the warmth.
Thank you.
Are you okay? Yeah.
You ever wonder about Fallon? I mean, what this must be like for him, living this every day.
I told Alexis and my mother to get out of town.
I didn't tell them why, but they knew.
And they wanted to tell their friends and I told them they couldn't.
I felt like a monster.
I mean, that must be some kind of hell feeling that, all the time.
Kind of makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9l11, and we were the ones who didn't know.
Beckett.
Yeah, the McCann's address is a dead end.
A Korean family lives here.
They've been living here for the past four years.
Did you search the place? Yeah.
Didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
But we did talk to a longtime neighbor.
And they said the McCann family lived here, but it was over a decade ago.
She seems to recall something about them having a son named Kevin, and he went in the military.
Kevin McCann.
Army Special Forces.
Recipient of two Purple Hearts and a Distinguished Service Medal during his six tours in Afghanistan.
Six tours? Military's stretched pretty thin these days.
Doesn't make any sense.
What's a war hero doing mixed up in a terrorist plot? Don't look at me, pal.
It's your theory.
Do they have an address listed? Arlington, Virginia.
Kevin McCann, the real Kevin McCann, died a couple of years back at a VA hospital from complications of wounds he suffered during combat ops.
Buried at Arlington with full honors.
So someone stole his identity.
He could be anyone.
Including a foreign agent.
Run this through FBI and CIA facial-recognition databases all the way up to Interpol.
I want to know everything I can about this guy.
All right.
So, tech tracked the phone that he's been using under the McCann name.
Patrol units just found it in a dumpster, it's been wiped clean.
We got an APB out on him, and we've sent copies of his photo to everyone.
Yo.
Teams are on their way to the taxi depot and the impound to pull prints from the cabs he drove.
But with multiple drivers and passengers, there're going to be hundreds of prints in each cab.
It's gonna take some time.
It's time we don't have.
Why would he steal McCann's identity? I thought this guy was a crime novelist.
I am.
Well, then, you should know that, sometimes, people who operate outside the law will take the Social Security number of a deceased individual and use it to forge a new identity.
I know.
I've done it three times in my books.
What I'm saying is, why would he steal Kevin McCann's identity? Because it was convenient.
Why was it convenient? I mean, the money that was deposited into Amir's account to implicate him, we tracked it back to Afghanistan.
McCann served in Afghanistan.
Maybe there's a link.
What kind of link? I don't know.
Maybe Maybe this guy wasn't just stealing the identity of some random dead guy.
Maybe McCann is someone he knew, or someone he needed to be.
Contact the Pentagon.
Get everything you can on McCann.
His family used to live here.
Are they still around? Parents are dead, but he's got a sister in Queens.
Sorry about the mess.
It's just It's been hard since Doug left.
Sweetie, just go play in your room.
So, what happened? My deadbeat ex got arrested again? Actually, Miss McCann, we're here about your brother.
Yeah, I know him.
That's Radford.
Radford Hayes.
He was in my brother's unit.
They were best friends.
He assumed your brother's identity.
Do you have any idea why? No.
How well did you know him? Mostly from my brother's letters.
They were in the VA together.
He was there with me when When Kevin died.
In his letters did he ever display any animosity toward this country? Why is he asking me that? There's a possibility that Mr.
Hayes is working with a set of extremists who are plotting against the US.
No.
Colleen? Radford took me out for a beer after Kevin died.
And he was angry.
Angry at how everyone stopped caring about the war, like it wasn't even happening.
Angry at the way politicians were treating soldiers.
Like they were tissue paper to be used and thrown away.
He thought the folks in Washington cared more about scoring political points than winning.
He said that maybe what this country needed was another wake up call.
Maybe next time we'd get it right.
Do you know where we can find him? No.
All I have is his cell phone number.
His phone's active, but it's old school.
No native GPS.
How long before you get a fix on him? I'll need a few minutes to triangulate off the cell towers.
Do what you got to do.
Just don't let him know we're coming.
Can't believe we're chasing one of our own.
He's not wrong, you know.
Used to be we go to war, everybody sacrifices, everybody pitches in.
Now, you don't even see it on the news.
I'm not defending him.
I'm just saying I understand the anger.
Well, Amir is the perfect patsy.
He has a background in weapons engineering, ties to Syria, which is a hotbed for Al Qaeda recruiting.
I mean, it has "terrorist" written all over it.
And the money from his Afghanistan account would've had people believing Taliban was involved.
We're so programmed by fear.
People are going to believe exactly what Radford wants us to believe, that we were attacked again.
And then they're gonna cry out for blood.
Less than four hours.
If we can't stop it, shouldn't we tell people? Tell them what? That a dirty bomb is gonna go off somewhere in Manhattan? Know the kind of panic that would create? No.
Our only hope is to stop this thing.
Let's just hope that we can.
We got him.
Let's roll.
Hayes! Get down! Get down! Get down! - On your knees! On your knees! - Get down now! Interlock your fingers behind your head! Yeah.
Tell me where it is.
Where's the bomb? Where is it? Where's the bomb? This guy makes me sick.
He swore an oath to defend this country.
In his mind, he's a patriot.
Yeah, like Tim McVeigh.
Ryan, contact DOD.
See if you can get twenties on the guys he served with in Afghanistan.
See if any of them are blowing in the wind.
You ready? Yeah.
We break him.
No matter what.
Got it.
Look, I know you're angry.
And I understand.
But what you're doing, what you're involved with, it's not the way.
Radford, you're a soldier.
The people in this city are not your enemies.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Look, we know about you going up to the storage facilities in Washington Heights.
And the warehouse.
What about it? Well, we know that there was nuclear material in the storage facility, the bomb was assembled in the warehouse.
So don't insult us and tell us you don't know anything about it.
He's wasting his time.
Why do you say that? He's Special Forces.
We're trained for this.
Never to give up information.
Never to give up your position if you're captured.
They can't break him.
Not in time.
Do you see yourself as a great hero, doing this for a mighty cause? You think that's how people are going to see you? Because I'll tell you right now, brother, if you let this happen, you're going to go down in history as America's greatest mass murderer.
Is that what you want? When this bomb goes off, do you think they're going to be looking at me? People will see this as an act of terrorism, so they will be looking for a terrorist.
Not a patriot.
Not one of their own.
Is that what you think you are? A patriot? There's a word for people like you, it's not "patriot.
" It's "traitor.
" The powers that be have no use for a traitor.
So when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me? Well, let me tell you, because I know them, I know how they think.
I will become a footnote in one of your files, buried so far back no one will ever find it, because anything more would be an inconvenience to their self-serving, rabble-rousing narrative.
So why don't you do us all a favor and just accept the inevitable.
You think this is a joke? You think I'm playing with you? Where's the bomb? - Where's the bomb? - Fallon, no! Where is it? - What's the target, Radford? - Lower your weapon, Fallon! Where's the target? Fallon! Lower your weapon.
Now! Not until he tells me what I want to hear.
- Where is it? - Lower your weapon! You ready to go all the way? I'm prepared to die for my country.
Are you? Put down your weapon now! Hey.
I got that.
Thank you.
He wasn't going to break, you know.
If I had a couple of days, maybe.
A week.
But not in three hours.
We needed him to break, I saw an opening, I took it.
You violated his rights.
I can think of probably a dozen federal lawyers that would disagree with that.
He was never in any real danger.
I removed the bullets from my clip.
The gun wasn't even loaded.
Well, mine was.
Yeah, well, I was pretty sure you weren't going to shoot me.
You know, next time I wouldn't be so sure.
Detective, I understand that you probably hate me.
You have every right to.
Both of you.
But my job isn't to make friends.
It's to stop bad things from happening.
And seeing as how we're just a couple of hours away from a major terrorist event, and we are basically back at square one, I could really use your help.
Yes, sir.
Man, does that guy take jackhole lessons, or was he born that way? Neither.
I asked my buddy at DHS about him.
Turns out his wife was killed on 9l11.
She rode the second tower down.
They were on the phone together when it happened.
He's right.
If we don't get Radford to talk, we're dead in the water.
Maybe not.
Okay, I need backpack detectors spread out to the 10 most likely targets.
Get the NEST teams ready.
Go.
Where are we on Jamal and Amir's co-conspirators? Co-conspirators? Why? We know that they're patsies.
Remember what Radford said about the bomb going off.
He said we will find our terrorist.
But with Jamal and Amir out of the picture They're gonna try to pin it on someone else.
Somebody related to them both.
All right, get locations on all known associates of Amir and Jamal Alhabi.
I don't care if we dismissed them before.
Anybody of Middle-Eastern origin or descent.
Nazihah, Amir's wife.
Find her, track her down.
See if she'll cooperate.
She trusts you.
Maybe she can help us narrow down the list.
On it.
Beckett? That's Fallon's surveillance guy.
Nazihah.
Nazihah! Nazihah! She's gone.
So is the kid.
What? I found this on the table.
"Allah Akbar.
God is great.
"I go to my glory against the forces of the infidel.
" She's their new terrorist.
They're going to have her set off the bomb.
Uniforms are canvassing neighbors, but none of them saw the abduction.
What about the traffic cams? I've got teams out there.
But with less than two hours left, there's no time to go through all the footage.
- Where's Montgomery? - He's on with 1 PP coordinating city emergency response teams.
Just in case.
Mobilize FEMA with full radiation protocol.
Have them standing by to airlift into the city.
Yes, sir.
We found her phone at the house.
The family car is out in front.
So we have no way to trace her.
Yo, I've got something.
According to DOD, most of the guys in Radford's unit are still deployed.
I was able to locate all but two.
Evan Bauer and Jack Cochran.
Their families say they've been on a fishing trip since last week.
What do we know about them? Well, Bauer is a weapons specialist, and Cochran did a tour in Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
An EOD guy would know how to build a bomb.
All right, get a team together.
Crawl up these guy's asses with a microscope.
Phone records, financials, anything.
Get a location.
What's wrong? We find these guys, you know what we're going to see? Nothing.
These aren't brainwashed, radicalized kids on a student visa.
This is highly trained military.
They're probably reading out of our playbook.
We are running out of time.
- Get NEST in the air.
Yes, sir.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Ground teams can make a move.
There There might be another way.
But, I don't think you're gonna like it.
Make the call.
It's really very simple.
Do what we ask, everybody lives.
Don't do what we ask, everybody dies.
It's as easy as that.
You killed my husband.
Why should I believe you? Because I'm afraid you have no other choice.
See the van? All you gotta do is drive it to where we said, park it, and walk away.
You do that for us, we'll return your baby and we can all go on with our lives.
But you should know, there's a camera on the driver's side.
If you do anything stupid, we'll know.
Nod if you understand.
Mr.
Castle, Detective Beckett.
So good to see you again.
And Agent Fallon, your reputation precedes you.
Does the Syrian Consulate even know you're here? When last we met, Detective Beckett, you relieved me of my pistol.
I thought now is a good time to retrieve it.
Mr.
Yusef, when last we met, you told me it was in your business to stay informed.
I find in my business it's important to keep up with current events.
And I'm sure that your country would do everything in its power to avoid a terrible misunderstanding if somehow Amir or his wife Nazihah were mistakenly believed to be involved in an act of domestic terrorism.
I would say it's in both our interests.
You also mentioned that Amir was of special interest to you.
We, at the Syrian Consulate, wanted to make sure he liked his new home, so, yes, we checked in with him from time to time.
And what about Nazihah? Did you check in on her? Under the circumstances, we thought it would be appropriate to send our condolences.
You had her under surveillance, didn't you? Where is she? Mr.
Fallon, the Syrian Consulate is strictly a diplomatic mission.
We're certainly not in the business of spying on US citizens.
However, if you were to happen by a red brick industrial building on the corner of I do not think you'd be wasting your time.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I have an appointment outside the city.
Watch! Gun! Clear! That's our baby.
The baby's fine.
Where's Nazihah? Guys, over here.
Camera frame is too tight.
We can't tell where she is.
No way to get in touch with her and let her know her baby's all right.
Well, I guess it's all up to him.
He knows we're on a deadline, right? Yeah, he knows.
I mean a literal deadline? As in, you go over the line, you're dead? Castle, can you just give him a chance? I'm happy to give him anything he needs.
It's the clock that's not cooperating.
Alert all units.
Target is in a black van.
Repeat.
A black van.
They left for Times Square - How'd you get them to talk? - I lied.
I told them Radford cut a deal implicating them both.
I want checkpoints and barricades in Times Square! Get choppers in the air! Find that van! She just left 10 minutes ago, there's a chance we can catch her before she gets there.
Take Broadway or Riverside! We got Broadway.
You should not have taken Broadway.
It's the most direct route to Midtown.
Yeah, but it's not the fastest.
You should cut over Castle, would you please stop telling me how to drive.
- I'm not telling you how to drive.
- You are telling me how to drive! - Nazihah's husband was a cabbie.
- So? So Broadway slows down in the 70's through Midtown.
She would know that the fastest way is West End to 11 th and then cut cross-town on 48th.
Okay, why 48th and not 46th? Because 46th has construction on it.
Turn here.
All units.
This is 23.
We are tracking a black van southbound on Broadway, passing 72nd.
I repeat, southbound on Broadway, passing 72nd.
- Broadway.
- I I'm turning around.
No, no, no don't turn around! It's the wrong van.
- Castle, how do you know - There! There, there, there! It's her! Pull over! Nazihah, pull over! - Please.
No! They have my baby.
- Nazihah, we know.
- We've got her.
She's okay.
She's Beckett! Dispatch, this is One-Lincoln-40, we found the bomb on 55th and 11 th.
One-Lincoln-40, copy.
Bomb Squad is in route.
E TA, three minutes.
Dispatch, that's about two minutes too late.
One-Lincoln-40, stand by.
Fallon.
Fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb? - One minute! - Where are you? We're at 55th and 11 th.
No, I'd have to see it.
Can you send a picture? Yeah, yeah.
Hold on.
It's uploading right now.
- Forty-five seconds.
- You got it? Yeah.
It's opening It's opening now.
Fallon? Hang on.
Thirty seconds.
- Fallon? - I can't see anything.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Castle.
Castle! Yes! No, you should've seen his face.
Because he stopped, he looked at me, he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them.
All of them? I figured one of them had to be the right one.
You know, the Mayor wants to give you guys a medal.
I didn't have the heart to tell him you had no clue what you were doing.
Captain's right.
You guys don't know how lucky you are.
Actually, I do.
Hmm.
Can I talk to you two for a second? I just want you two to know the US Attorney's Office is gonna be charging them with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit terror.
But thanks to you two, we won't have to add the murder of innocent New Yorkers to that allegation.
Well, we were just doing our job.
Actually, I was doing my job.
I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Hey.
But that's true.
Listen, what I do is not who I am.
It's just how I have to be.
I hope you both understand that.
Why don't we just say it was a pleasure, and that we hope that we don't have to do it again.
Fair enough.
If it does happen again though maybe you could just text me.
Have a code word.
"Run.
" Hell of a day, huh? Hell of a day.
You know, I was thinking I was thinking maybe I should go home, get some rest.
Long day.
Good night.
Good night.
Hello.
Hey.
Jamal Alhabi.
He had his cousin Amir fashion a dirty bomb.
How can you not know the man you're sharing a bed with is a terrorist? I swear to you, I don't know Jamal and Amir are not terrorists.
You're chasing the wrong guys! - Let's just talk about something else.
- How's Josh? He's gone.
He's always gone.
"Fariq Yusef.
Syrian Consulate.
" At your service.
As events unfold, you may find yourself in need of a man with my skills.
What if Amir suspected another driver? So the last two places Amir was, and Kevin McCann has been to both of them? We got a location on the truck.
We at least have to go see why this warehouse area is so popular.
Open her up! The bomb was not in the truck.
No, sir.
That's negative.
The bomb was not in the truck.
We have rad crews on the ground now.
Yes, sir.
I'll keep you apprised.
Keep the perimeter at a three-block radius, and keep the press the hell out of here.
We don't need a panic on our hands, all right? Sir, radiation teams have finished sweeping the immediate area.
Negative across the board.
If they moved the device, it's not nearby.
It makes no sense.
Why would they move it? It's a rodeo clown.
Rodeo clown? The truck, it's a diversion.
Jamal must've sensed we were closing in.
He gave us something to chase, throw us off the target.
He's playing us.
So we're back to square one.
We gotta find Jamal.
Move in on his employees.
Shake the trees.
Somebody's gotta know something.
You think Fallon knows he's chasing a dead man? No.
And he won't know unless we get out of here.
You think they're coming back? Why would they? For Jamal.
Why else would they keep his body on ice? Whoever's behind this, wanted to preserve his body for some reason.
I'm thinking they wanted his body in that van with the bomb.
That way, when the bomb goes off They'd have his remains and his DNA at the crime scene.
People would think that he was the terrorist.
Right.
And then the real terrorists would get away scot-free.
Okay, so then the question is why? What is their agenda? We're not going to find out in here.
Well, Castle, thank you for stating the obvious.
Got anything? No, no.
No thermostat, no control box.
It must be on the outside.
Got any bars on your phone? No.
Wait, wait, wait No.
You? No.
How cold do you think it is in here? Judging by the way that it feels, I'd say it's well below freezing.
How long do you think we're gonna last, dressed like this? A couple of hours at the most.
That's what I thought, too.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! That door is made of steel.
I don't think that's going to do anything.
Castle, nobody knows that we're in here.
Nobody even knows to look for us.
We're gonna freeze to death if we don't get out of here.
Well, maybe there's another way out.
Right.
Yeah.
On three? Yeah.
One - Two - Three.
Okay, again.
One - Two - Three.
Again.
One - Two - Three.
We didn't have to come back.
I was fine, you know.
Fine? I could literally feel your anxiety level rising the further we got from the city.
A spiritual retreat is supposed to be spiritual, darling, not stressful.
We'll do it another time when you don't have a test hanging over you.
Although I could've written you a brilliant excuse.
I used to write the best ones for your father.
Circus accidents, apartment fires Movie night? I don't know.
He has the projector up, but Huh.
He's not here.
Well, maybe he's out.
As in Yes.
But he always calls when he's out.
Or leaves a note.
Well, he figured we were gone, so why bother? It's late, darling.
Come on.
We'll ask him in the morning.
Castle, that's not good.
No.
It's not.
All right.
Stand back.
- What are you gonna do? - Just stand back.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you trying to kill us sooner? Do you have a better idea? Maybe just save the few rounds in case they come back.
Castle, I could use a silver lining right about now.
Okay? Yeah.
I wish I had one.
This doesn't make any sense.
What, bro? These guys who work for Jamal's moving company.
They are Middle Eastern, but most of them are citizens, born here in the States.
Aside from a couple of traffic violations, their records are clean.
Maybe that's why they were recruited.
Now you're starting to sound like Fallon.
Maybe Castle was right.
Maybe there is something else going on here.
Ryan.
You get anything? Nothing so far.
They claim to not to know anything about Jamal's whereabouts or his activities.
And the ones that are lawyering up are accusing us of racial profiling.
They're not wrong.
You okay? Compared to a nuke, a dirty bomb is a fairly crude device.
It's designed to instill fear in the populace.
The majority of the immediate damage is gonna come from the conventional explosion, creating a kill zone.
Like Oklahoma City.
Except for it's not just a building that falls.
It spreads radiation for several blocks, that's your secondary kill zone.
If left untreated, people can die from radiation poisoning in less than a week.
But what makes this such an effective terror weapon is the outer zone.
Now in this area, everybody seems fine at first.
Then the cancers start showing up.
Babies, kids, adults.
And with every new case that's reported, people flock to the emergency rooms, overwhelm the system.
It's like we're being attacked all over again.
If we can't find the bomb, maybe we can find the target.
Pull everybody you got.
Give me a list of every significant event going on in the city for the next 48 hours.
Any place where people might gather - in large numbers.
- This is New York City.
There are a hundred events going on every day.
We have to narrow it down.
Focus on anything political or government related.
There any sporting events going on? What's happening at the U.
N? Maybe there's a reason they're choosing to strike now.
Sir, can I speak with you alone? Excuse us.
So, what's wrong? I just got off the phone with Castle's daughter.
Apparently, he hasn't come home, and she hasn't been able to reach him on his cell.
- So? - Castle got kicked off the task force.
- Why isn't he at home? - How should I know? Beckett's not answering her phone either.
We thought, given their history that We thought the two of them might have got onto something.
You two do realize that a terror cell is threatening to strike and thousands of lives may be at risk.
- Yes, sir.
But - What do you want me to do? Send out a search party because your pals aren't answering their cell phones in the middle of the night? They could be out having a cold one.
- Captain - I appreciate your concern.
And I'm sure they appreciate your concern.
But they can take care of themselves.
Besides, we have a terrorist to find.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Castle, are you there? Yeah, yeah.
I'm all right, I'm all right I'm right here.
I can't feel anything.
Oh.
I always thought, being a cop, I'd take a bullet.
I never thought I'd freeze to death.
Hey, we're not dead yet.
I just wish this was one of your books, then you could rewrite the ending.
I'm I'm sorry.
For what? For being me.
Hmm.
Going rogue.
Getting you into this.
- lf we hadn't gone on our own - No, shh.
Castle, no.
Okay.
You were right.
We found the bomb.
We are just too late, okay? Castle.
Yeah? Thank you for being there.
Always.
I just wanted you to know how much I Hey, Kate Hey.
Stay with me.
Kate.
Stay with me.
Easy, pal.
Beckett? Where is she? - Sir, I'm gonna need you to calm down.
- Where is she? She's gonna be fine.
You're both fine.
Got to you just in time.
- Josh? - Hey.
So, you're recovering from a moderate case of hypothermia.
You're gonna be a little bit sluggish for a while, but with some warmth and some fluids you be should be all right.
I thought you were in Haiti.
Didn't go.
It's gonna hurt.
Okay.
Let's see if we can't get you to sit up.
All right, move slowly.
There you go.
How long was I out? I don't know.
About an hour.
The bomb We searched the entire warehouse.
It's gone.
How'd you find us? Alexis called.
Said you didn't come home.
Alexis? She's supposed to be out of town.
I guess she came back.
We figured you were with Beckett, until Josh called.
We thought you must be out there doing something incredibly stupid against orders, so we sent patrol units everywhere we figured you'd be moronic enough to go.
Found Beckett's car, and we searched the area until we found the light from the storage container.
Well, I'm glad my stupidity's predictable.
You pulled us out of there? Thanks.
- So your boy's back in town.
- Mmm-hmm.
He came back.
So what does that mean to you? It means we have a chance.
Come on.
Fallon wants to debrief.
You think he's ready to believe us? NEST confirms high-levels of residual radiation along with the military-grade Semtex.
There's no question that device was here.
I'll have my team pull surveillance tape on every camera within a quarter-mile of here.
Sounds good.
I'll catch up to you.
- Beckett.
- Sir.
You two.
Are you always this stubborn and insubordinate? Only when we're trying to save the world.
I'd be more impressed if you succeeded.
How did you know to come here? Security cameras in Amir's cab.
We think that he was keeping tabs on one of his drivers, Kevin McCann.
We pulled McCann's route records.
Turns out he visited that storage facility in Washington Heights where the radioactive material was being kept and this warehouse.
Long before Amir did.
McCann was here before him? Yeah.
It looks like Amir was following McCann, trying to figure out what he was up to, until he was caught and killed.
And with Amir, their intended patsy, dead, we think they were trying to implicate his cousin Jamal as the bomber.
That's why they were keeping his body on ice.
Did you see any other members of the cell here? - No, it was dark.
- And they were shooting.
But we do know that the bomb is housed in a white commercial van with a rear and side passenger door.
A white van in New York City.
Well, that narrows it down.
We saw the counter.
It's set to go off at 4:00 today.
That's less than 10 hours from now.
All right.
I'll put up checkpoints, but it's already in the city.
Look, I know all the evidence points to Amir and Jamal, but something bigger is going on here, and Kevin McCann is involved.
Got it.
Yo, that was the taxi company.
McCann's supposed to be on shift right now, but he didn't show up.
And he's not answering his phone.
Did you get an address? DMV lists an apartment off Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.
All right, get a team together.
Go up there and get him.
- Agent Fallon.
- Yeah.
Given the circumstances, we'd like to request to be reinstated on the task force.
Well, that's not up to me.
Be up to your doctor, isn't it? You know, it's funny.
When I first met you two, I thought you were together.
Oh.
No.
Just friends.
Get cleaned up.
We've got a long day ahead of us.
All right, guys.
Oh, Richard, darling.
Oh, are you all right? Are you using that blanket? - No, I'm gonna give it to you.
- Thank you.
- You poor baby, wow.
- Ooh, ooh.
Thank you.
You look like death warmed over.
If someone tries to sell you on cryogenics, say no.
I knew you wouldn't turn your phone off without leaving me a message.
Now, is this about the cab driver? Look, I need you girls to do something, for me.
But I don't want you to ask any questions.
I want you to go to the Hamptons.
I want you to stay there for the weekend.
Richard, what is this about? Did you not That's a question.
Look, there might be an event that would make it very dangerous to stay in the city.
- What are you doing? - Calling Ashley.
No, no, no, no.
You can't tell anybody.
Okay? You can't tell anybody.
You tell Ashley, he'll tell his parents, they'll call someone they love and a panic will make this thing a thousand times harder to stop.
- Dad, he's my boyfriend.
- I know.
- That isn't fair, you can't - Fair has nothing to do with it.
I need you to go.
Now.
But you'll come, too? I will when I can.
But I need you to go.
Now.
Okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Figured you could use the caffeine and the warmth.
Thank you.
Are you okay? Yeah.
You ever wonder about Fallon? I mean, what this must be like for him, living this every day.
I told Alexis and my mother to get out of town.
I didn't tell them why, but they knew.
And they wanted to tell their friends and I told them they couldn't.
I felt like a monster.
I mean, that must be some kind of hell feeling that, all the time.
Kind of makes you wonder how many times this has happened since 9l11, and we were the ones who didn't know.
Beckett.
Yeah, the McCann's address is a dead end.
A Korean family lives here.
They've been living here for the past four years.
Did you search the place? Yeah.
Didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
But we did talk to a longtime neighbor.
And they said the McCann family lived here, but it was over a decade ago.
She seems to recall something about them having a son named Kevin, and he went in the military.
Kevin McCann.
Army Special Forces.
Recipient of two Purple Hearts and a Distinguished Service Medal during his six tours in Afghanistan.
Six tours? Military's stretched pretty thin these days.
Doesn't make any sense.
What's a war hero doing mixed up in a terrorist plot? Don't look at me, pal.
It's your theory.
Do they have an address listed? Arlington, Virginia.
Kevin McCann, the real Kevin McCann, died a couple of years back at a VA hospital from complications of wounds he suffered during combat ops.
Buried at Arlington with full honors.
So someone stole his identity.
He could be anyone.
Including a foreign agent.
Run this through FBI and CIA facial-recognition databases all the way up to Interpol.
I want to know everything I can about this guy.
All right.
So, tech tracked the phone that he's been using under the McCann name.
Patrol units just found it in a dumpster, it's been wiped clean.
We got an APB out on him, and we've sent copies of his photo to everyone.
Yo.
Teams are on their way to the taxi depot and the impound to pull prints from the cabs he drove.
But with multiple drivers and passengers, there're going to be hundreds of prints in each cab.
It's gonna take some time.
It's time we don't have.
Why would he steal McCann's identity? I thought this guy was a crime novelist.
I am.
Well, then, you should know that, sometimes, people who operate outside the law will take the Social Security number of a deceased individual and use it to forge a new identity.
I know.
I've done it three times in my books.
What I'm saying is, why would he steal Kevin McCann's identity? Because it was convenient.
Why was it convenient? I mean, the money that was deposited into Amir's account to implicate him, we tracked it back to Afghanistan.
McCann served in Afghanistan.
Maybe there's a link.
What kind of link? I don't know.
Maybe Maybe this guy wasn't just stealing the identity of some random dead guy.
Maybe McCann is someone he knew, or someone he needed to be.
Contact the Pentagon.
Get everything you can on McCann.
His family used to live here.
Are they still around? Parents are dead, but he's got a sister in Queens.
Sorry about the mess.
It's just It's been hard since Doug left.
Sweetie, just go play in your room.
So, what happened? My deadbeat ex got arrested again? Actually, Miss McCann, we're here about your brother.
Yeah, I know him.
That's Radford.
Radford Hayes.
He was in my brother's unit.
They were best friends.
He assumed your brother's identity.
Do you have any idea why? No.
How well did you know him? Mostly from my brother's letters.
They were in the VA together.
He was there with me when When Kevin died.
In his letters did he ever display any animosity toward this country? Why is he asking me that? There's a possibility that Mr.
Hayes is working with a set of extremists who are plotting against the US.
No.
Colleen? Radford took me out for a beer after Kevin died.
And he was angry.
Angry at how everyone stopped caring about the war, like it wasn't even happening.
Angry at the way politicians were treating soldiers.
Like they were tissue paper to be used and thrown away.
He thought the folks in Washington cared more about scoring political points than winning.
He said that maybe what this country needed was another wake up call.
Maybe next time we'd get it right.
Do you know where we can find him? No.
All I have is his cell phone number.
His phone's active, but it's old school.
No native GPS.
How long before you get a fix on him? I'll need a few minutes to triangulate off the cell towers.
Do what you got to do.
Just don't let him know we're coming.
Can't believe we're chasing one of our own.
He's not wrong, you know.
Used to be we go to war, everybody sacrifices, everybody pitches in.
Now, you don't even see it on the news.
I'm not defending him.
I'm just saying I understand the anger.
Well, Amir is the perfect patsy.
He has a background in weapons engineering, ties to Syria, which is a hotbed for Al Qaeda recruiting.
I mean, it has "terrorist" written all over it.
And the money from his Afghanistan account would've had people believing Taliban was involved.
We're so programmed by fear.
People are going to believe exactly what Radford wants us to believe, that we were attacked again.
And then they're gonna cry out for blood.
Less than four hours.
If we can't stop it, shouldn't we tell people? Tell them what? That a dirty bomb is gonna go off somewhere in Manhattan? Know the kind of panic that would create? No.
Our only hope is to stop this thing.
Let's just hope that we can.
We got him.
Let's roll.
Hayes! Get down! Get down! Get down! - On your knees! On your knees! - Get down now! Interlock your fingers behind your head! Yeah.
Tell me where it is.
Where's the bomb? Where is it? Where's the bomb? This guy makes me sick.
He swore an oath to defend this country.
In his mind, he's a patriot.
Yeah, like Tim McVeigh.
Ryan, contact DOD.
See if you can get twenties on the guys he served with in Afghanistan.
See if any of them are blowing in the wind.
You ready? Yeah.
We break him.
No matter what.
Got it.
Look, I know you're angry.
And I understand.
But what you're doing, what you're involved with, it's not the way.
Radford, you're a soldier.
The people in this city are not your enemies.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Look, we know about you going up to the storage facilities in Washington Heights.
And the warehouse.
What about it? Well, we know that there was nuclear material in the storage facility, the bomb was assembled in the warehouse.
So don't insult us and tell us you don't know anything about it.
He's wasting his time.
Why do you say that? He's Special Forces.
We're trained for this.
Never to give up information.
Never to give up your position if you're captured.
They can't break him.
Not in time.
Do you see yourself as a great hero, doing this for a mighty cause? You think that's how people are going to see you? Because I'll tell you right now, brother, if you let this happen, you're going to go down in history as America's greatest mass murderer.
Is that what you want? When this bomb goes off, do you think they're going to be looking at me? People will see this as an act of terrorism, so they will be looking for a terrorist.
Not a patriot.
Not one of their own.
Is that what you think you are? A patriot? There's a word for people like you, it's not "patriot.
" It's "traitor.
" The powers that be have no use for a traitor.
So when they find their terrorist, and they will find their terrorist, what do you think will happen to me? Well, let me tell you, because I know them, I know how they think.
I will become a footnote in one of your files, buried so far back no one will ever find it, because anything more would be an inconvenience to their self-serving, rabble-rousing narrative.
So why don't you do us all a favor and just accept the inevitable.
You think this is a joke? You think I'm playing with you? Where's the bomb? - Where's the bomb? - Fallon, no! Where is it? - What's the target, Radford? - Lower your weapon, Fallon! Where's the target? Fallon! Lower your weapon.
Now! Not until he tells me what I want to hear.
- Where is it? - Lower your weapon! You ready to go all the way? I'm prepared to die for my country.
Are you? Put down your weapon now! Hey.
I got that.
Thank you.
He wasn't going to break, you know.
If I had a couple of days, maybe.
A week.
But not in three hours.
We needed him to break, I saw an opening, I took it.
You violated his rights.
I can think of probably a dozen federal lawyers that would disagree with that.
He was never in any real danger.
I removed the bullets from my clip.
The gun wasn't even loaded.
Well, mine was.
Yeah, well, I was pretty sure you weren't going to shoot me.
You know, next time I wouldn't be so sure.
Detective, I understand that you probably hate me.
You have every right to.
Both of you.
But my job isn't to make friends.
It's to stop bad things from happening.
And seeing as how we're just a couple of hours away from a major terrorist event, and we are basically back at square one, I could really use your help.
Yes, sir.
Man, does that guy take jackhole lessons, or was he born that way? Neither.
I asked my buddy at DHS about him.
Turns out his wife was killed on 9l11.
She rode the second tower down.
They were on the phone together when it happened.
He's right.
If we don't get Radford to talk, we're dead in the water.
Maybe not.
Okay, I need backpack detectors spread out to the 10 most likely targets.
Get the NEST teams ready.
Go.
Where are we on Jamal and Amir's co-conspirators? Co-conspirators? Why? We know that they're patsies.
Remember what Radford said about the bomb going off.
He said we will find our terrorist.
But with Jamal and Amir out of the picture They're gonna try to pin it on someone else.
Somebody related to them both.
All right, get locations on all known associates of Amir and Jamal Alhabi.
I don't care if we dismissed them before.
Anybody of Middle-Eastern origin or descent.
Nazihah, Amir's wife.
Find her, track her down.
See if she'll cooperate.
She trusts you.
Maybe she can help us narrow down the list.
On it.
Beckett? That's Fallon's surveillance guy.
Nazihah.
Nazihah! Nazihah! She's gone.
So is the kid.
What? I found this on the table.
"Allah Akbar.
God is great.
"I go to my glory against the forces of the infidel.
" She's their new terrorist.
They're going to have her set off the bomb.
Uniforms are canvassing neighbors, but none of them saw the abduction.
What about the traffic cams? I've got teams out there.
But with less than two hours left, there's no time to go through all the footage.
- Where's Montgomery? - He's on with 1 PP coordinating city emergency response teams.
Just in case.
Mobilize FEMA with full radiation protocol.
Have them standing by to airlift into the city.
Yes, sir.
We found her phone at the house.
The family car is out in front.
So we have no way to trace her.
Yo, I've got something.
According to DOD, most of the guys in Radford's unit are still deployed.
I was able to locate all but two.
Evan Bauer and Jack Cochran.
Their families say they've been on a fishing trip since last week.
What do we know about them? Well, Bauer is a weapons specialist, and Cochran did a tour in Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
An EOD guy would know how to build a bomb.
All right, get a team together.
Crawl up these guy's asses with a microscope.
Phone records, financials, anything.
Get a location.
What's wrong? We find these guys, you know what we're going to see? Nothing.
These aren't brainwashed, radicalized kids on a student visa.
This is highly trained military.
They're probably reading out of our playbook.
We are running out of time.
- Get NEST in the air.
Yes, sir.
Maybe we'll get lucky.
Ground teams can make a move.
There There might be another way.
But, I don't think you're gonna like it.
Make the call.
It's really very simple.
Do what we ask, everybody lives.
Don't do what we ask, everybody dies.
It's as easy as that.
You killed my husband.
Why should I believe you? Because I'm afraid you have no other choice.
See the van? All you gotta do is drive it to where we said, park it, and walk away.
You do that for us, we'll return your baby and we can all go on with our lives.
But you should know, there's a camera on the driver's side.
If you do anything stupid, we'll know.
Nod if you understand.
Mr.
Castle, Detective Beckett.
So good to see you again.
And Agent Fallon, your reputation precedes you.
Does the Syrian Consulate even know you're here? When last we met, Detective Beckett, you relieved me of my pistol.
I thought now is a good time to retrieve it.
Mr.
Yusef, when last we met, you told me it was in your business to stay informed.
I find in my business it's important to keep up with current events.
And I'm sure that your country would do everything in its power to avoid a terrible misunderstanding if somehow Amir or his wife Nazihah were mistakenly believed to be involved in an act of domestic terrorism.
I would say it's in both our interests.
You also mentioned that Amir was of special interest to you.
We, at the Syrian Consulate, wanted to make sure he liked his new home, so, yes, we checked in with him from time to time.
And what about Nazihah? Did you check in on her? Under the circumstances, we thought it would be appropriate to send our condolences.
You had her under surveillance, didn't you? Where is she? Mr.
Fallon, the Syrian Consulate is strictly a diplomatic mission.
We're certainly not in the business of spying on US citizens.
However, if you were to happen by a red brick industrial building on the corner of I do not think you'd be wasting your time.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I have an appointment outside the city.
Watch! Gun! Clear! That's our baby.
The baby's fine.
Where's Nazihah? Guys, over here.
Camera frame is too tight.
We can't tell where she is.
No way to get in touch with her and let her know her baby's all right.
Well, I guess it's all up to him.
He knows we're on a deadline, right? Yeah, he knows.
I mean a literal deadline? As in, you go over the line, you're dead? Castle, can you just give him a chance? I'm happy to give him anything he needs.
It's the clock that's not cooperating.
Alert all units.
Target is in a black van.
Repeat.
A black van.
They left for Times Square - How'd you get them to talk? - I lied.
I told them Radford cut a deal implicating them both.
I want checkpoints and barricades in Times Square! Get choppers in the air! Find that van! She just left 10 minutes ago, there's a chance we can catch her before she gets there.
Take Broadway or Riverside! We got Broadway.
You should not have taken Broadway.
It's the most direct route to Midtown.
Yeah, but it's not the fastest.
You should cut over Castle, would you please stop telling me how to drive.
- I'm not telling you how to drive.
- You are telling me how to drive! - Nazihah's husband was a cabbie.
- So? So Broadway slows down in the 70's through Midtown.
She would know that the fastest way is West End to 11 th and then cut cross-town on 48th.
Okay, why 48th and not 46th? Because 46th has construction on it.
Turn here.
All units.
This is 23.
We are tracking a black van southbound on Broadway, passing 72nd.
I repeat, southbound on Broadway, passing 72nd.
- Broadway.
- I I'm turning around.
No, no, no don't turn around! It's the wrong van.
- Castle, how do you know - There! There, there, there! It's her! Pull over! Nazihah, pull over! - Please.
No! They have my baby.
- Nazihah, we know.
- We've got her.
She's okay.
She's Beckett! Dispatch, this is One-Lincoln-40, we found the bomb on 55th and 11 th.
One-Lincoln-40, copy.
Bomb Squad is in route.
E TA, three minutes.
Dispatch, that's about two minutes too late.
One-Lincoln-40, stand by.
Fallon.
Fallon, you have any idea how to defuse a bomb? - One minute! - Where are you? We're at 55th and 11 th.
No, I'd have to see it.
Can you send a picture? Yeah, yeah.
Hold on.
It's uploading right now.
- Forty-five seconds.
- You got it? Yeah.
It's opening It's opening now.
Fallon? Hang on.
Thirty seconds.
- Fallon? - I can't see anything.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Castle.
Castle! Yes! No, you should've seen his face.
Because he stopped, he looked at me, he grabbed all the wires, and then he just yanked them.
All of them? I figured one of them had to be the right one.
You know, the Mayor wants to give you guys a medal.
I didn't have the heart to tell him you had no clue what you were doing.
Captain's right.
You guys don't know how lucky you are.
Actually, I do.
Hmm.
Can I talk to you two for a second? I just want you two to know the US Attorney's Office is gonna be charging them with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit terror.
But thanks to you two, we won't have to add the murder of innocent New Yorkers to that allegation.
Well, we were just doing our job.
Actually, I was doing my job.
I don't know what the hell he was doing.
Hey.
But that's true.
Listen, what I do is not who I am.
It's just how I have to be.
I hope you both understand that.
Why don't we just say it was a pleasure, and that we hope that we don't have to do it again.
Fair enough.
If it does happen again though maybe you could just text me.
Have a code word.
"Run.
" Hell of a day, huh? Hell of a day.
You know, I was thinking I was thinking maybe I should go home, get some rest.
Long day.
Good night.
Good night.
Hello.
Hey.
