Get the hell out of here!
[GROANS]
Drove a car through the front
window, smashed the glass case,
grabbed as many weapons as they could,
got back in their car,
and got the hell out of there.
And this poor bastard got in the way.
- Owner?
- Owner's brother.
Guy named Ted Whitman.
Works here part-time.
- Not anymore.
- Damn.
Looks like he got hit
with something pretty hard.
Bat, tire iron, that sort of thing.
You contact the owner?
He's waiting for you outside.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Mr. Whitman,
we're very sorry for your loss.
I, uh,
I don't know what to say.
I can't believe this actually happened.
Your brother was working alone?
Teddy was working nights
trying to make some money.
He was a chef too.
He was hoping to open up
a restaurant someday.
Anything unusual going on?
Any threats, or either
one of you owe anyone money?
No, nothing like that.
Everything's been going
really good until tonight.
Well, look, if you think of
anything else, give us a call.
And in the meantime,
we're gonna need a list
of all the items that were stolen, okay?
Make, model, serial number.
We're also gonna need to
access your security system.
Again, we're very sorry for your loss.
We don't know much yet,
but we'll keep you in the loop.
Please do. The folks down in D.C.
get real nervous when guns are stolen.
Well, we got that in common.
Folks in New York do too.
Um, I'm here if you need me, Jubal.
- Feel free to reach out.
- All right. Great.
- Appreciate it.
- How's Isobel feeling?
Ah, well, not great.
But she's tough. She'll make it through.
This damn COVID thing is getting old.
Ah, tell me about it. Morning, folks.
So we're chasing a murder,
but we're also chasing
a cache of stolen weapons,
but the question of the moment is "why"?
Why do they steal these weapons?
Kelly, ready with that video yet?
Pulling it up as we speak.
Guessing that's the murder weapon.
ERT recovered the sledgehammer?
No, they must have taken it with them.
Mm-hmm. All right, let's do some math.
See if we can figure out
how tall the suspects are.
- Copy that.
- And we need to find
- the owner of that car.
- It's a 1987 Blazer.
License plate is cold.
Okay, I guess we're gonna have to settle
for the owner of the car
whose plates were stolen.
I had no idea my plates were missing.
I haven't driven the car in a few days.
You know, COVID and all.
Does this security camera work?
Yes, we had it installed
a few months ago.
A neighbor down the road
had his house broken into,
so we upgraded our whole system.
Okay, that's great. We're gonna need
to see the footage. Is that okay?
Of course.
♪
Here are the two perps.
This is two nights ago, around 7:00 p.m.
Mm-hmm. All right.
Let's see if we can get
a good shot of this guy.
- Mm.
- Yeah, there you go.
One of them looks pretty young.
He's a baby.
All right, run it through facial rec.
- No hits.
- Yeah.
You know what? This logo
on the hoodie looks familiar.
Let's see if we can get
a better look at it.
Okay, there.
Looks like a lion.
No, that's a cougar.
It's a mascot for Chapman
Private School in Scarsdale.
My son goes there.
♪
That's Clayton Hall. He's a junior.
Why? Something happened to him?
We think he might be involved
in a robbery-homicide.
You don't seem as surprised
as one might expect.
I'm not, unfortunately.
- And why is that?
- Clayton is
he has issues.
Okay. What kind of issues?
The art teacher notified us
last week that his drawings,
his cartoons, were disturbing.
A lot of violent images.
Okay. Is Clayton here now?
Let me check.
No, he called in sick today.
Okay, we're gonna need his home address.
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
We're definitely in the right place.
FBI! Anybody home?
♪
Don't come inside. Just stay away.
You understand me?
Clayton, is that you?
Yeah, it's me.
But I'm not coming out
no matter what you say.
All right, that's fine.
But we're not gonna go anywhere,
so it is probably best that we come
- to some sort of compromise.
- [SOBBING] No compromises!
That's all people
want these days is compromises.
What the hell does that even mean?
You're right.
Clayton, you're right. I'm sorry.
I misspoke. I used the wrong word.
What I should have said is
that we are here to help you,
that we want to help you.
Okay, Clayton, does that sound better?
Yeah, that sounds good.
Okay, thank you.
I just wanna make sure
that no one gets hurt.
[GUNSHOT, THUD]
Clayton.
Clayton!
He's down.
♪
We need an ambulance
to 33 Hancock Drive in Scarsdale.
Right now.
♪
Inspect that.
The house is clean. There are no guns.
Okay, so he only took the Glock
that he used, and what?
Hid the other guns?
Or his partner has them.
Either way, we gotta find
his accomplice fast.
Hey, look at this.
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
♪
I don't understand.
I mean, how do you
how do you go from smiling
and laughing on the beach
to, I mean, all of this?
Who the hell knows?
I can't believe it.
Clay's been struggling,
but he's a good kid.
- He just
- We did everything we could.
We tried different doctors,
different medications.
I can't imagine
what you're going through.
Do you have any idea who
your son was with last night
or the night before?
No, we've been giving him
more independence,
so we try not to ask a lot of questions.
It sounds really stupid now, I get it,
but the psychiatrist
thought it might help, so
We understand.
Did Clay have a best friend?
Someone that he liked to hang out with?
He wasn't really close to many kids.
None that we knew of.
Only one he ever talked about
was Simon Simon Branch.
I haven't hung out with Clay
in a long time.
- Two or three months.
- Why not?
I don't know, he and I just
it started to get weird.
Some of the things he would
talk about were pretty serious.
I hate to tell you this, Clay is dead.
He took his own life about an hour ago.
But it is extremely important
that we understand what Clay was up to.
It's also important that we
know where you were last night.
I was home all night studying.
And your parents can verify this?
- Yeah, definitely.
- It's good to hear.
And just so you know, we're not
accusing you of anything.
You understand that, right?
Now, if you don't mind,
we need to know what crazy things
Clay was talking about.
About a month ago,
he said that it would be pretty cool
to shoot up a school.
I said he was nuts and that he needed
to talk to a shrink or something.
I even called his parents,
and they were pretty freaked out,
but they begged me not to say
anything to anyone else.
So I didn't.
Who was Clay hanging out with
these past few months?
Gamer dudes.
You know their names?
Yeah.
Did you find anything
interesting in Clayton's SUV?
Not really we pulled three
different sets of prints
but ran them through IAFIS, and no hits.
Uh-huh, but Tiffany sent over
that list of gamers, right?
Yep, we've got 11 names.
We're pulling as much info
as we can on every kid.
Mm-kay, and we found Perp One's height?
Approximately 6'1".
Okay, so let's use that
to narrow down the list.
And yes, let's dig into
these kids' social media posts.
See if we can't figure out
who Clayton's accomplice is.
Look for any veiled
or cryptic references
- to a school shooting, yeah?
- We're all over it, boss.
Sir?
You got a second?
Uh, sir? What, are you gonna ask
for my daughter's hand in marriage?
- No, I, uh
- What's up?
It's about the list.
I didn't wanna say anything
in front of everybody,
but there's a kid's name
um, Tyler Kelton.
Kelton?
Yeah, I didn't
it's your wife's maiden name, right?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Yeah.
Right.
Right, okay, um
well, thanks for the info.
I'll look into it.
- Sure.
- Okay, great.
I can't believe Clay would
really do something like that.
Yeah, I know, it's
a difficult thing to process.
But he was also involved in something
pretty bad last night, Ty.
It was a robbery and a murder.
What?
That's insane.
Well, it was him
and another man or a student,
and they robbed a gun store.
Stole about 40 weapons,
including four AR Assault Rifles,
and they killed an employee
in the process.
So were you friends with Clayton?
We hung out sometimes,
but he was pretty weird,
so I kept my distance.
Do you know who else he hung out with?
You asking me to snitch?
Well, I'm trying to figure out
who was with him.
I don't know, like I said,
I never really talked to Clay.
Okay. But you hung out in his crowd?
His crowd? What does that even mean?
I don't know, Ty. You tell me.
There's nothing to tell.
I hang out with some kids at school.
Sometimes, we play video games.
That doesn't make me a bad person.
Hey, no one's accusing you
of being a bad person.
I'm trying to figure out
if one of your friends
or acquaintances or whatever
is involved in this thing.
I told you, I don't know.
Look, until we figure this thing out
and we catch Clayton's accomplice,
you need to stay away from those kids.
Every single one of them.
- Hello? Do you hear me?
- Yes, fine.
Okay.
I love you, buddy.
Hey, what's going on?
Was Tyler here last night?
Here? What are you talking about?
Yeah, was he at the house here with you?
Yes. Why?
You know that robbery
last night in Scarsdale?
- At the gun store?
- Yeah.
Well, one of the perps went to Chapman.
Are you serious? That's crazy.
Yeah, what's even crazier
is that Tyler used to hang out with him.
Played video games or something.
But I had no idea he was hanging out
in some fringe gamer crowd
or using the surname Kelton
for that matter.
I was going to tell you about
Yeah, what's that about?
He's
he's been pretty negative
lately about you.
He said he'd feel better
using my last name.
It's just a phase.
Oh. Why didn't you tell me this?
Because I didn't wanna get
into a whole thing, Jubal.
He's just having a hard time.
I'm having a real hard time
understanding why
you didn't feel it necessary
to tell me this, you know?
I say something pretty much
every time we talk.
Every single time,
but you just gloss over it.
He'll be fine.
All kids go through an awkward stage.
Kids need to fail. It builds character.
I didn't I didn't know
it was that bad.
Well, it is.
Or it was.
Things have been better
the past month or so.
He said he'd made new friends.
Fringe gamers or not, he's happier.
No, that's good. I guess.
Yeah.
But until we find this other perp,
who I'm guessing goes to Chapman
and hangs out in this crowd,
he needs to stay away from these kids.
I told him as much,
but if you could, you know,
just keep an eye on him.
Of course.
Okay, okay.
Bye.
Listen up, I just spoke
to Agent Valentine,
and he's asked me to help out.
The good news is,
I'm up to speed on the facts,
so it's business as usual
minus Agent Valentine's
irrepressible wit and charm, of course.
Okay, let's get going.
Where are we on the list of friends?
Have we ID'ed anyone who fits
the physical description
- of perp number one?
- Not yet, sir.
No need for sirs.
What about social media posts?
Anything that mentions
the gun store robbery?
Uh, no, sir. Sorry.
Any references to mass shooting events?
Negative. The social media
posts have been pretty tame.
Mostly about video games.
Got something.
This kid, Zach O'Connor,
he's a really good match
for the body type of Perp One.
We just did some quick math,
looks like he's about 6'1",
and there's lots of online interaction
with Clayton Hall too.
Looks good to me.
Find his home address now.
No, Zach isn't here. Why?
What is going on?
Your son is a person of interest
in a recent robbery-homicide.
What? Zach?
No, there must be some mistake.
You mind if we come inside
and take a look around?
- You have a warrant?
- No, sir. We don't.
But the truth is, we are concerned
about a school shooting
or some other kind of mass shooting.
Do you mind if we come inside
and take a look around?
Yeah, okay. Just do what you have to do.
[TENSE MUSIC]
♪
Looks like Zach is our guy.
♪
It's empty.
How many of his guns are missing?
Uh
Looks like one AR Assault Rifle
and two nine-millimeter
semi-automatic Glocks.
And you think that Zach
has these guns with him now?
Yes, which means we need to find him,
so let's get him on the phone.
Call him now.
We've been trying to contact him
for the last 24 hours.
He's not answering.
Why didn't you tell us this earlier?
We thought he was partying,
playing video games.
Okay, well, he's not,
so let's call him back.
Maybe he will answer this time.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
On speakerphone.
[LINE TRILLS]
Hi, this is Zach.
Please leave a message. Thanks.
Ian. Hey, you ping Zach's phone yet?
I tried. Looks like it's been shut down
- for over 24 hours.
- Okay.
Do we know anything about his plans?
Is he targeting
a specific person, place,
or is he just running around with guns
for the sake of running around
with guns?
Probably not that,
but we are short on specifics.
You finally get access
to these kids' text messages?
- Yeah, just came in.
- All right, great.
Start reading.
Elise, we need to start working
traffic and bus cams within
a mile radius to Chapman.
Let's get boots on the ground too.
I want four units canvassing that area.
- Just found something.
- Go.
Zach sent Clayton a text two days ago.
It says, "When this is over
and hundreds are dead,
the world will know our names.
We will be iconic."
All right, we need to
evacuate Chapman right now.
I'll call the head of school.
Let's get local police
down there right away.
You know what? I'm gonna head to campus,
see what I can learn.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Go all the way in.
All the way in to the back.
Move out in an orderly fashion.
What's up, buddy?
Yeah, yeah, just do what
the police officers tell you.
Your mom is waiting for you outside.
No, no, everything's fine.
No one's been hurt.
We're just being extremely cautious.
Exactly. All right.
I'll talk to you soon.
I love you, bud. Bye.
Hi.
Agent Valentine.
To be clear, we have not found
any evidence
explicitly referencing Chapman.
But we do believe Zach O'Connor
is armed and dangerous
and planning some sort of
mass shooting event,
but it will not take place here.
We have 40 agents
surrounding the school.
Has anyone seen Zach recently?
He's been out of touch
for about 24 hours,
which means he's hiding out,
likely someplace near the school
or his parents' house.
I know you've been counseling
him for the past few months.
Do you have any idea where he might go?
Did he ever mention a hangout
or a hideout somewhere
he might go when he's
feeling anxious or depressed?
No, sorry.
We just talked about
his emotions, his anxiety,
lack of confidence.
I thought he was doing better.
Okay. Who does he hang out with?
Who might he turn to when he's
feeling afraid or desperate?
He was pretty aloof,
but he did start talking
about a student he just met,
said they were becoming close friends.
Great. Okay, do you have a name?
Yes, right here. Tyler.
[FOREBODING MUSIC]
He never mentioned a last name.
♪
Hey, why didn't you tell me
about Zach O'Connor?
What?
You didn't see that he'd been
spending time with Clayton?
He's Clayton's accomplice.
- No, that's not right.
- Yes, it is.
And I need to find him right now.
He's a good guy. He helps people.
No, Tyler. He killed someone.
No, that's not right.
If it weren't for him, I would've gotten
my ass kicked last week,
but Zach stood up for me.
Got in this kid's face.
He said we were friends,
and the kid backed down.
That that may be, but Tyler,
if you are not telling me something,
if you know anything
about this robbery
The hell are you talking about?
Of course I don't know anything.
I'm not some criminal or some
weird high school freak.
Is that what you think?

When was the last time
you talked to Zach?
A couple of days ago.
Do you have any idea
where he might be hiding?
No.
Do you have any idea
who he might be going after?
I don't know.
Okay.
Well, look, if you think
of anything that could help,
would you please call me?
And until we sort this out,
you need to stay in the house.
♪
I can't believe Zach killed someone.
He is, like, the only kid at school
who's actually nice to me.
- We need to find your son.
- I know. I wanna find him too.
Look, I know how these things go.
So just tell me
whatever you want me to do.
Okay, do you guys have
a second home anywhere?
No.
Okay, what about an office?
An apartment?
Anywhere where he might
feel comfortable hiding at?
No, no, nothing like that.
But my sister has a place
a mile from the school.
What do you mean?
She's been in London
the past couple of months.
The place is empty.
And Zach knows this?
Yes, and he has a key too.
He goes there once a week
to water the plants.
Okay, what's the address?

Federal agents!
We have a warrant!
Upstairs, clear.
The house is clear.
He was definitely here.

I have a receipt for 3:16 PM today.
Zach's cell is turned off, right?
Somebody used this landline?

Why aren't you answering my call?
- I just didn't hear it.
- Did Zach O'Connor call you?
- Yeah.
- And you didn't tell me?
You didn't think I'd wanna know?
It was really brief.
He just started rambling.
- He wasn't making much sense.
- Did he say where he was?
- No.
- Did he say where he is going?
- No.
- What did he say exactly?
He just kept saying,
"I'm gonna be iconic."
Over and over.
I said, "What are you talking about?"
and he said, "You'll see,"
and then he hung up.
I'm gonna need you to call him, okay?
If he answers,
ask him where he is, where he's going.
I don't wanna get Zach in trouble.
Okay, you need to snap out of this fog.
Zach O'Connor is a dangerous young man.
He's my friend.
Why can't you understand that?
He committed a horrible crime, Tyler.
He murdered an innocent person.
And we're pretty sure he's
looking to kill more people.
So this is not about
your so-called friendship.
There is nothing so-called
about it it's real.
And he's been there for me
when I need him, unlike you.

Look, I'm glad that Zach
has been a good friend.
- I get it.
- No, you don't.
You've no clue what I deal with.

What's it's like to be me.
The weak kid.
The sick kid.
The cancer kid.

[SOFTLY] Hey.
You're gonna get better,
and you're gonna feel more confident.
I promise you.
You just have to believe that
and be patient, okay?
But right now, we've gotta find Zach
so I can help him before
he hurts someone else, okay?
Okay, so if he said anything
that could be helpful
in your phone call
Like I said, he was rambling.
But right before he hung up,
he said he was thinking about me
Because he was wearing my hat.
[STAMMERS] Your hat?
Why would he be wearing your hat?
He said he found it on the floor.
Thought it was a good omen,
so he put it on.
Uh, where did you leave your hat?

So Zach comes here,
hides out for a little while,
then heads back into the world
with his AR
and his Glock loaded to the hilt.
- No, not necessarily.

The only ammo that they stole
from the gun shop was a nine-mill.
He's not gonna chamber an AR with that.
He's gonna need a .223.

why he'd be over there?
Did he have any friends over there?

Our child is a mess here.
He's hanging out with kids that are
Don't you dare put this on me.
I am the one who is here
every day, trying to help him,
encourage him. I'm not a magician.
I can't just wave a wand
and make our son's cancer go away.
Trying to make him the cool,
confident kid that you want him to be.
I know. I know.
I didn't mean that.
I'm just I'm sc I'm scared.
If Tyler is somehow mixed up in this,
I know it's my fault.
It's because I wasn't involved enough,
it's because I wasn't present,
and that is going to change.
I pro I promise you.
I need to go now before
call me if you get a hold of him.
I will.
Where are we on Tyler's phone?
Have you been able to locate him?
Yes, and we're tracking his GPS now.
We're also tracking the phone
that just called him too.
Looks like he's heading west.
- We have a name?
- Jeremy Brosnihan.
He's the owner of the gun shop,
the guy who just got shot.
Zach must have grabbed his
phone on the way out the door.
We've been looking over
his social media accounts.
He posts a lot about a girl
named Grace Gilmore.
He seems pretty obsessed with her.
In one of his posts, he says,
"You laughed at the wrong dude."
I don't see any overt threats
or anything like that.
- Just a hunch.
- Who is Grace Gilmore?
She is a junior at Westchester South,
about a mile
from Zach's current location.
Okay. Call the school.
Have them evacuate right now.

Did Clay have a best friend?
Someone that he liked to hang out with?
He wasn't really close to many kids.
None that we knew of.
Only one he ever talked about
was Simon Simon Branch.
I haven't hung out with Clay
in a long time.
- Two or three months.
- Why not?
I don't know, he and I just

Some of the things he would
talk about were pretty serious.
I hate to tell you this, Clay is dead.
He took his own life about an hour ago.

I was home all night studying.

- Yeah, definitely.
- It's good to hear.
And just so you know, we're not
accusing you of anything.
You understand that, right?

we need to know what crazy things
Clay was talking about.

he said that it would be pretty cool
to shoot up a school.
I said he was nuts and that he needed
to talk to a shrink or something.
I even called his parents,
and they were pretty freaked out,
but they begged me not to say
anything to anyone else.
So I didn't.
Who was Clay hanging out with
these past few months?
Gamer dudes.
You know their names?
Yeah.

interesting in Clayton's SUV?

and another man or a student,
and they robbed a gun store.
Stole about 40 weapons,
including four AR Assault Rifles,
and they killed an employee
in the process.
So were you friends with Clayton?
We hung out sometimes,
but he was pretty weird,
so I kept my distance.
Do you know who else he hung out with?

Well, I'm trying to figure out
who was with him.
I don't know, like I said,

Okay. But you hung out in his crowd?
His crowd? What does that even mean?

Sometimes, we play video games.
That doesn't make me a bad person.

of being a bad person.

if one of your friends

The bad news is,
Zach now has enough ammo

No.
We have not found him yet,

a video of him on Heathcote and Wilmot.
- You know where that is?
- Yeah.
Do you have any idea
why he'd be over there?
Did he have any friends over there?
Enemies? Girlfriends?
I don't know, we've only
been friends for a month.
I don't know everything about him.

Don't you dare put this on me.
I am the one who is here

Trying to make him the cool,
confident kid that you want him to be.
I know. I know.
I didn't mean that.

If Tyler is somehow mixed up in this,

I need to go now before
call me if you get a hold of him.
I will.
Where are we on Tyler's phone?
Have you been able to locate him?
Yes, and we're tracking his GPS now.
We're also tracking the phone

Looks like he's heading west.
- We have a name?
- Jeremy Brosnihan.
He's the owner of the gun shop,
the guy who just got shot.
Zach must have grabbed his
phone on the way out the door.
We've been looking over
his social media accounts.
He posts a lot about a girl
named Grace Gilmore.
He seems pretty obsessed with her.
In one of his posts, he says,
"You laughed at the wrong dude."
I don't see any overt threats
or anything like that.
- Just a hunch.
- Who is Grace Gilmore?
She is a junior at Westchester South,
about a mile
from Zach's current location.
Okay. Call the school.
