FBI (2018) s04e08 Episode Script

1 It's the good stuff, fellas.
Hey, okay.
Buen provecho.
You were amazing, Elliot.
- Buen provecho.
- Muchas gracias, amigo, eh? De nada.
That's how you say it, right? You're welcome? I wish you all the best of luck.
May your dreams come true.
Salud.
Happy birthday, Dougie.
Hey, Tiff, what's up? Okay, see you soon.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
Traffic on the BQE was brutal.
Mm-hmm.
Sure you weren't having a good night with one of your special lady friends? I was in bed by 9:45, alone.
If you say so.
How come you never have a girlfriend, Scola? Wow.
Isn't even 8:00 a.
m.
- I'm serious! - I have no idea.
Come on, try harder.
Okay, fine.
I have intimacy issues.
I already knew that.
Great, then there's nothing left to say.
Mystery solved.
- Come on, dig deep.
- That's not really my thing.
So you're just happy being blissfully superficial.
That is exactly what I am.
How you doing? Special Agent Scola.
This is Agent Wallace.
Detective Valdez.
So what do we got? Homicide.
Male, white, age 46.
Got shot in the house, crawled outside.
Found two nine-millimeter casings on the floor.
Neighbor going for a walk sees him bleeding out, calls it in.
Also sees a blue Toyota zipping down the street a few minutes before he spotted the DOA.
- They catch a plate? - Only the first letter, K.
But that's not why we called.
Looks like he was shot right here.
Thought it was just another homicide.
Until we saw this.
All right, so the victim's name is Elliot Young, he was 46, unemployed auto mechanic, army vet, former EOD technician.
Means he's a bomb expert.
Yeah, he had chemicals, fuses, and homemade blasting caps.
So our bomb team is analyzing now, but based on what they saw, they think that he likely made one large ammonium nitrate bomb.
Which was not found in the house.
So that means the killer likely took off with said bomb.
The question is, why? Why kill Young? Why not just pay for it? You know, why draw police scrutiny? Signor Moran, you have anything done? Yeah, I've been digging through his financials, and he definitely has some problems.
He defaulted on his home mortgage, and he's over 90 days delinquent on two credit cards.
Okay, so maybe he's making bombs to make money, not to further a cause or political agenda.
- Hey, I just talked to DHS.
- Yeah.
There's no chatter about the shooting or any imminent terrorist attack.
If the shooter is a terrorist, and the bomb was taken to support some upcoming terror event, it's most likely a small group, a splinter organization off the radar of the intelligence community.
ERT says they didn't find any hits on the DNA or the fingerprints recovered at the scene.
So we're nowhere.
Which is a sub-optimal place to begin the investigation, but I have a feeling somebody in here is going to flip the script and find me a lead.
Just got a video hit on the blue Toyota.
Matches the description the neighbor saw.
Can you read the plate? No, nothing.
But we know it begins with the letter K.
Okay, in the tri-state area, there are exactly six late-model blue Toyota Corollas that have license plates that begin with the letter K.
Okay, next candidate.
Hannah Thompson, 46.
Administrative assistant from Wellington Moore.
Sure sounds violent.
Yeah, just like the last two people we talked to? Opera singer at Staten Island? Metaphysical life coach from Brooklyn Heights.
Give me a break.
FBI! FBI, anybody home? Hannah Thompson, you there? Hold on.
OA, check out this car.
Hey, check this out.
- Is that blood? - Yup.
Clear.
FBI.
Drop it and show me your hands.
What happened? What's going on? We're gonna take a ride to 26 Fed, that's what's going on.
I don't even have my clothes on.
Can I get dressed? Hannah Thompson.
Born in Longmeadow, Massachusetts.
She moved to New York in 1996.
Was married for five years before her husband died in, uh, in 2001.
September 11, 2001.
She's worked as an administrative assistant at Wellington Moore for the past nine years.
Fact remains, her car was seen leaving the crime scene, and we recovered blood from her vehicle, so.
Hey, did you find any evidence at Hannah's place? No, nothing.
Uh, well, that's not really true.
We found an extensive collection of marmalade.
Yum.
Sounds like a delicious discovery.
All right, let's take a run at Ms.
Thompson, see if we can't figure out why and how she's involved - in this, um, jam.
- Ooh.
- Yeah, Jubal.
- Yeah.
You mind if Tiff and I talk to Hannah? Yeah, sure.
I told you, I have no idea what you're talking about.
You must have the wrong person.
But the blue Toyota that's parked in front of your house? The one that's registered in your name, it was seen leaving the scene of a murder last night.
Well, there are a lots of blue Toyotas in this city.
But only six that have a license plate that starts with the letter K.
I'm sorry.
I wish I could help, but I Where were you last night around 8:00 p.
m.
? Having dinner in Queens with my cousin Cindy.
I took some selfies, they're on my phone.
Definitely had dinner in Queens.
Definitely took a lot of pictures of this artisan pizza that you ordered with cousin Cindy.
But your car was still spotted at a crime scene.
And there was blood on the passenger-side door.
Does anyone have access to your vehicle? Family or friends? A neighbor? Only my boyfriend, Alberto.
He has a key.
He uses it sometimes.
Alberto Villaneueva.
74 hits in the tri-state area.
But don't see any matching the description the suspect provided.
There's lots of photos of this guy on Hannah's phone.
Here, let me send you one.
Yeah.
Yeah, run him.
Got a hit.
Felix Ramos, 32.
From Venezuela.
And a known terrorist.
Part of extreme socialist group Marxist Revolutionary Party.
Wait, so this guy This terrorist is Hannah's boyfriend? Everything okay? Can I go now? No, not just yet.
Why not? What's going on? I answered all your questions.
We have a few more questions about your boyfriend, Felix.
- You mean Alberto.
- No.
Name's Felix Ramos.
He's a known terrorist.
Now this is getting really crazy.
I feel like I'm on one of those shows where they try to trick you and then people start laughing.
This is not a TV show, Hannah.
And no one's laughing.
When did you meet this guy? I met him six months ago on a dating app.
We started talking, exchanging photos, then he came to New York.
Said he was thinking of moving here.
- When was this? - A few weeks ago.
And how often do you see him? A few times a week.
Maybe less.
He's busy all the time.
He's a director.
He makes movies, documentaries.
That's nice.
But we think that he was involved in the murder of a man named Elliot Young.
What? That name ring a bell? Elliot Young? No, I've never heard of him.
But but I think you guys must be mistaken.
Alberto is a really nice guy.
Nice guy or not, the blood on your car matches that of the murder victim.
Just got a text confirming that.
We're gonna need to talk to Felix right away.
Yes, of course.
Okay, call him.
If he picks up, just make small talk.
You're at work, just wanted to say hi, something like that.
He's not picking up.
Okay.
Okay, you ever met any of his friends? Only one, Ernesto.
He's his partner in the production company.
I'm supposed to meet him later this morning.
Why? To give him some money.
I'm investing in their new business.
- How much? - 30,000.
They need it to make a short film to attract investors so that they can make longer movies.
That's what they told me, anyway.
And you were planning to meet Ernesto and give him that money today? I actually was supposed to do it yesterday, but I had a hard time getting the money out of my 401k.
Took longer than I thought.
Alberto was really upset.
He needed the money to make a deposit on a studio space he was trying to rent.
Upset over being a day late.
Must be a reason.
Maybe there's a clock on this.
Maybe it's tied to an event - Anniversary or holiday.
- Yeah.
What time you supposed to meet his partner Ernesto? 11:30.
Poor woman is blind.
But what is this 30 grand about? I mean, was Felix just looking for cash to help finance the movement? Or finance the purchase of a bomb.
That's probably why he was so mad about the money being late.
Why not wait another day? - Because he couldn't.
- Why not? It looks like the attack was tied to the birthday of another Venezuelan terrorist, Ilich Ramirez Sanchez.
- Carlos the Jackal? - Yeah.
Today is his birthday, which is probably why Felix couldn't wait.
He knew the clock was ticking.
And what better way to celebrate the Jackal's birthday than to blow up a symbol of American capitalism.
So now what? Now we let Hannah take that business meeting with Ernesto.
Just stay calm, okay? Hand Ernesto the money, and we'll arrest him.
I still think you're wrong.
There's no way Alberto could have killed someone.
Or is a terrorist.
Look, his real name is Felix.
Okay? That much we know for sure.
Here.
We also know he's a member of a violent socialist organization, that he used your car to commit a murder, and that he is now in possession of a highly destructive explosive device.
Okay? We're not guessing here.
So the sooner you get on board with this, the better.
Look, I know this is difficult.
But Agent Scola is right.
The man you thought you knew, Alberto, he doesn't exist.
It's very important that you understand that.
I do.
- It's just that - It's gonna be okay, Hannah.
Just stay nice and relaxed.
All you need to do is hand Ernesto the bag.
That's it.
You good? Can you hear us? Yes, I'm good.
I see him.
He's coming toward me.
All right, just stay nice and calm.
There's nothing to worry about.
We have agents nearby just in case.
Hi.
How's it going? Hey, I'm good.
It's nice to see you again.
Where's Alberto? I've been trying to call him.
He's busy.
He told me to say hello, and that he'd call you later.
So You still feel good about investing in our company, right? Yeah, sure.
Oh, here.
Thank you.
Chao, chao.
FBI! Do not move.
Hey! Hey! - Let her go! - I'll kill her.
No! No, please, no.
Put the gun down and let her go.
I want a car right now, or I'll shoot her.
I swear to All right, so these messages were sent from Felix to Ernesto this morning, yeah? All right, first one says, "Delivery went well, "everything is in place.
"Still waiting on Hannah to give us the cash so we can leave the country.
" Second one reads, "We will celebrate victory tonight.
They will remember our names for eternity.
" Okay, so sounds pretty straightforward.
The bomb has been planted.
It's gonna be detonated either later today or tonight.
The question is where, right? Or what? What symbol or location do they plan on destroying? Well, symbol part is easy.
Capitalism.
But as for institution, who knows? There's a capitalist landmark or image every ten feet in this city.
We need to locate Felix.
We find him, we find the bomb.
Yeah, Elise, where are we on his phone? - Is it still on? - Yes.
But the location services have been intentionally disabled, so there's no GPS signal.
Can't track him.
Yeah, but Felix's phone can still receive - calls and texts? - Correct.
I got an idea.
"Never met up with Hannah, "thought police following me.
Gonna lay low for a few hours.
" Okay, perfect.
"That's okay, I will text this This bitch myself.
" All right, he should be hitting up Hannah's phone any second.
"Meeting got cancelled, mi amor.
"Free the rest of the day.
You around? Would love to see you.
" This guy is disgusting.
"Sounds good, should I bring the money?" "Yes, wonderful.
"Meet me at the café, Greenpoint and Meserole.
So excited to see you.
" Okay, Hannah, this is the break we've been waiting for.
We're gonna need your help one more time.
I'm not sure.
Your friend Felix has planted a major explosive device.
We know this to be true.
We can't let this bomb go off, Hannah.
We just can't.
My brother died on 9/11, just like your husband.
People like you and I We have an obligation to make sure that something like that never happens again.
You're right.
Okay.
Good.
All right, Hannah.
Same drill as before.
Just stay calm, - and ask questions.
- Ok, I will.
How was your day? When are you gonna start that short film? You know, the kind of questions you'd actually ask if you didn't know who he really was, that is.
And stay put inside the café.
Do not leave with him, and do not get in a car with him.
He's approaching the restaurant, but it's not Felix.
Hello, Hannah.
How are you? - Where's Alberto? - He couldn't come.
Okay, I guess I should go then.
No, don't leave.
Not yet.
It's all right, Hannah.
Just stay calm, all right? Stick around and talk to him.
I came to see Alberto.
So let me take you to him.
I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
No, that's okay.
He couldn't come.
There must have been a good reason.
He had a meeting with a few investors.
But he told me to come here, take you back to his apartment, so you guys can be together.
No, I I don't want to do that.
You want us to move in? Is that the money, chica? Yes, but I I wanted I wanted to give it to him.
Just let it play out for now.
You did say that you wanted to invest in the new business.
All right, Hannah, you can leave the café with him.
Just tell him that you don't have time to see Alberto.
Give him the money, let him drive away.
Sounds good.
Let's go see Alberto.
Fantastic.
You know, I don't really have time to see him right now.
I've gotta get back to work.
So here's the money he asked for.
Thanks, but you're coming with me, chica.
I ow! I said that I couldn't FBI, get your hands off her right now.
You're under arrest.
You okay? Nice to meet you, Carlos.
Or would you prefer I call you, uh, Mr.
Velez? You can call me anything you want, won't make a damn difference.
The mercenary financial system of the United States is a scourge that must be eradicated.
Then, and only then, can global financial equality and prosperity occur.
That's a hell of a speech.
So what, just redistribute the wealth, and then wham-o, world's one big happy family? Look, Carlos, we need your help.
Now, if you cooperate with us, and tell us what you know about Felix Ramos - and this bomb - I know thousands will die.
So you do know where this bomb is planted.
And that's good for you, Carlos.
That means you have something to trade.
So tell us everything you know, and you might just walk free.
All I know is that this bomb, this event, is gonna make 9/11 look like a picnic.
Yeah, I'm gonna suggest you think this one through.
You really want to spend the rest of your life in a cage? That sound like a good time to you? You got a lot of good years ahead of you.
Do yourself a favor.
Tell us what you know.
Okay.
What I know is that in this country, if I ask to talk to a lawyer, you gotta stop talking to me.
With that in mind I'd like to see a lawyer.
Son of a bitch.
What's our next move here? Uh, we don't really have much of a choice.
We need to turn this punk over to our friends in the intelligence community.
- No, that's not gonna happen.
- Okay, fine.
Then turn him over to me.
Let me talk to him offline.
Just him and me.
That is not an option either.
So we're gonna do nothing? We're just gonna stand around, let thousands of Americans die? Scola! I know this case is emotional for you and you just want to help.
We all do.
But we are not crossing lines here.
We have to do this the right way.
The right way? What does that even mean? It means we need to notify the Venezuelan embassy that we have one of its citizens in custody.
Then we need to figure out where the hell he planted this bomb.
Hey, looks like Carlos got a job at a local delivery company last week.
XDS Logistics.
They deliver packages, equipment We put a call in to the manager.
Okay, good.
What else do we know about him? Not much.
His phone has been off for the past two days, but we're scrubbing his texts now.
So far, nothing interesting.
- Okay, keep at it.
- Okay.
Elise, the metro card we found in his wallet, any luck tracking his movements? In the last week, he's made several round trips from Red Hook to Wall Street.
Okay, Wall Street.
Let's assume the target location is somewhere down there.
Let's start pulling surveillance video outside all major landmarks One World Trade Center, Federal Reserve, New York Stock Exchange.
And let's start pulling video outside the subway stops down there, yeah? We're trying.
No visual hits so far.
Okay, keep looking.
And you know what, we should be digging into the return trip as well.
I'm guessing Carlos was staying somewhere in Red Hook, so find me a video.
Traffic cams, bus cams Let's find this punk! - Got something! - Yeah, talk to me.
A visual of Carlos in Red Hook, two days ago.
Great, throw it up.
Walking east on Wolcott street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! All right! Keep looking, keep tracking.
Find me an address.
- FBI! - Federal agents! Moving left, moving left! All clear.
Some nine-millimeter ammunition.
Same caliber used on Elliot Young.
OA.
I got something.
What is it? So Maggie found these blueprints in the apartment we believe Carlos has been staying in.
The address has been redacted, but it appears to have 66 floors.
We can also assume it's in the financial district, accessible from the Wall Street subway exit.
Okay, there's only one building with 66 floors in that immediate vicinity, 200 Maiden Lane.
Wellington Moore building.
Where Hannah works.
Look, Hannah, I've tried to be very lenient here, okay? Understanding of what you're going through.
Overlooked the stupidity But I swear to God, if you're lying to me I am not.
I don't know anything about this.
Felix must have stolen my card.
It's motion-activated.
See this tube? It's a victim-initiated switch.
If the bomb tilts at all, the mercury hits the wires, and that'll trigger it.
Can't risk trying to move it.
- Can we defuse it? - Not sure.
We'll have to x-ray it.
It looks pretty sophisticated.
236 minutes left on the timer.
We need to evacuate this building immediately.
Just got confirmation that the bomb has been planted in the basement of your office building, so you need to give me something meaningful here.
Something that will help us deactivate this thing.
A code, a sequence, a safety deposit box.
I don't know anything about any code.
That is too bad for you.
- I did nothing wrong.
- You were helping terrorists.
- I fell in love.
- Grow up.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's the truth.
I would never help a terrorist.
I could never do that.
You know, my husband, I never even got to say goodbye.
He woke up early one day and went to work.
Just another Tuesday.
Look, I get it.
I believe you.
I need you to tell me everything you know about Felix.
Everything.
Every meeting, phone call, conversation, friend, relative Doesn't matter if you think it's relevant or important, I need all the information you can provide.
I understand.
All right, let's start at the beginning.
Tell me about the first time you two met.
Where you were, who he was with, and if he has any family in New York.
Hey, dig into Hannah's Snapchat account.
Felix was sending her all kinds of photos.
That's how the bastard kept her on the hook, pretending he was in love with her, sending sexy pics, that kind of thing.
Okay, the photos are automatically deleted, but we should be able to get up on the server.
Okay, I have the most recent photo.
- Okay, pull the geotag.
- Geospatial metadata? Kelly.
Just find the address the photo was posted from.
FBI! Recon back doors.
FBI! Stop! He's on the move, on the move, let's go! Contact down the east stairwell.
Go! Contact! He's getting away! He's jumping out! - Roof.
Take the roof! - We'll take below.
Let's go, let's go.
Back downstairs.
Ahh! - Felix Ramos, freeze.
- What's the code, Felix? - What code? - The code to deactivate the bomb.
We're on the verge of glory.
The world will soon know our name.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Stuart, calm down! Relax.
Don't ruin your career over this guy, okay? Not over this.
This is exactly what you risk ruining your career over.
We searched the studio, didn't find a damn thing.
Some food, some booze, that's about it.
- Phone? - Wasn't there.
Or on his person.
Hey, I took a run at Felix, he's not talking.
Okay, so we got nothing.
I'll reach out to NYPD about the evacuation.
We have 120 minutes until the bomb detonates.
Let's go.
Where are you going? Hannah told me something.
I'm going to check it out.
That's right, keep moving.
Away from the building.
Please, please, I beg of you, let's keep going.
- Keep walking, people.
- This way, folks.
- Keep moving.
- No need to panic.
Let's go.
Hey excuse me.
How many more people are inside? Hard to say.
700 maybe 800.
Jubal, we're going as fast as we can, but there's so many people inside these buildings.
Hey.
Your name Pablo? Yeah, why? I'm gonna need you to come with me.
Hey, what's going on? What are you doing? I don't know anything about this bomb.
- I know you don't.
- So why am I here? Clock's down to eight minutes.
There's nothing we can do, so you need to turn around We're, good, thank you.
You want to be a hero, that's on you, but I'm telling you, there's nothing left to do.
Scola, where the hell did you go? All right, Tiff, find Felix now, bring the phone.
What are you doing? Tiff, just do it, please.
I told you, I'm not talking.
That's fine, you just have to look and listen.
I'm in the basement where you planted this bomb.
Then you're going to die.
That might be true, but someone else is gonna die too.
Your brother.
Felix? What the hell is going on? What's happening? He planted this bomb, that's what's happening.
Please, Felix, if you can help So what's it gonna be, Felix? Hmm? Are you gonna spend the rest of your life knowing that you killed your brother, the one decent thing in your sick little life? You really want that to be your legacy? In war, one must make sacrifices.
Oh, please.
You got six minutes.
So what's it gonna be? Okay, I will give you the code.
Tell me what to do.
Hit the pound sign.
Now enter the code.
Six, six, nine, eight, nine, six, four, one.
You can go.
So you're letting me go? We believe you.
We know you weren't a part of that murder or the attempted terrorist attack.
I must look like a fool, huh? I know that Felix is a terrible man, and that he was using me and the whole thing was a charade.
But I actually felt something.
For the first time in 20 years.
Good luck, Hannah.
I hope things work out.
Thanks.
Scola.
We need to talk, now.
Okay, that's fine.
All right? But I did what I had to do.
Okay, I was not gonna let that bomb go off, I just wasn't, so I did what I thought was best, whether that was on book or off book.
I am not so sure I would take that tone with the deputy director.
He just left me a very agitated message.
Wanted to know what the hell happened and if I authorized it.
Scola, this isn't just about you.
My ass is on the line here, too.
Hey, it's okay.
It's all good.
What does that mean, "all good"? I just talked to the deputy director.
I told him it was my call, that I backed Scola's decision, that it was the only play we had.
You're good.
If anyone's ass is on the line, it's mine.
What you did was selfish and stupid.
And it sure as hell doesn't make you some kind of hero.
You got lucky.
That is the only reason why you're still here.
Hey.
This seat taken? Bourbon, please.
I still can't believe what you did.
You ever, um, talk to anyone about this? About what? Your brother.
And 9/11.
I did the therapy thing for a few years.
It's a hell of a thing.
Losing someone you love like that.
I mean, look at Hannah, right? She was so lost, couldn't see the elephant in the room.
Yeah, she was definitely struggling.
But you know, I gotta give her credit.
She pulled herself out of that hole, tried to feel something again.
Maybe you ought to try to do the same thing.
You know, I haven't talked to my brother's wife and kids in five years? We were supposed to play tennis that morning.
And I stayed out late the night before.
And I got drunk.
- If I hadn't canceled - No.
That's not the reason he died, and you know that, Stuart.
If I can be honest? Yeah.
I think you're using your brother's death so you can avoid making real connections with real people.
And maybe it's time to move on.
Time to engage in the here and now.
Hey.
How you doing, Audrey? I'm good.
It's been awhile.
Yeah.
It sure has.
