FBI (2018) s05e22 Episode Script
Torn

I'm freaking out. This isn't like her.
She always responds.
She knows that she
needs to be home by 10:00.
She's 17. She's not 7.
I'm sure it's fine.
She's probably having fun.
- Maybe she met a boy.
- No.
She needs to be studying,
focusing on the charity she created.
It's not that easy to get
into college these days.
And you need to back me up for once.
Michelle, the guys are waiting for me.
Fine.
Go get drunk with your work pals.
I'll do all the parenting.
I
I'm staying on.
[SIGHS] There's her car.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
All right.
I found her car.
All right, none of her stuff is in it.
There's other cars here. I'm just
I'm gonna head down
to where her GPS is telling me to go.
I got a bad feeling about this.
I mean, what is she even doing down here
in the woods at night?
It's Bronxville.
It's not the Amazon basin.
Meghan?
Meghan?
Meghan!
God, it's creepy down here in the dark.
[PANTING]
Oh, my God!
- What the hell is happening?
- Meghan!
Oh, Meghan, baby!
Meghan, wake up. Wake up. Meghan!
[SOBBING]
[WAILING]
♪
Meghan!
Hold on. Isn't it Ramadan?
Aren't you supposed to be fasting?
Yes, um,
but I'm taking some time off.
Time off? From what?
For being a good Muslim, I guess.
- Okay.
- And don't tell my mom.
- I'm Chief Tucker.
- Agent Bell.
- This is Agent Zidan.
- So glad to have you on board.
We got six dead teenagers.
This is way beyond our capabilities.
How long were their bodies out here?
One of the mothers
got worried when her daughter
was late coming home last night.
She found them out here.
We assume it's drug-related,
but none of it makes any damn sense.
♪
Are all these kids local?
Yes.
And no criminal record on any of them.
All good kids.
Is there any sign of trauma?
Negative.
I'd swear they were all
just taking a nap.
All right, well, are there any cameras
that are out on the road
leading into the woods?
No. We never had any need for them.
Yeah, the Dolans, their
their daughter's name was Meghan.
We have the rest of the parents
down at the station
if you wanna talk to them.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Mr. and Mrs. Dolan.
I'm Agent Bell. This is Agent Zidan.
We're really sorry
for what happened here.
Do you mind if we ask you
a few questions?
Yeah, of course.
Did Meghan have a history of drug use?
No way.
She was a good kid.
We did everything right with her.
She snuck a beer here or there.
I found a cannabis gummy once,
but she was a good kid.
They were all good kids.
Any changes in her behavior
or attitude recently?
I mean, come on. She was a teenage girl.
So there were moments, but
nothing out of the ordinary.
Mrs. Dolan?
No, not that we noticed, but
I can't believe this is happening.
It's okay. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You guys, you need
to figure out who did this.
We will.
Um, can we have access to her phone?
It may help us figure out
what happened to these kids.
Yeah.
Anything you need.
Thank you.
♪
So what, we're looking at a suicide pact
or some sort of accidental overdose.
Found pill fragments
during the autopsy
fatal combination
of fentanyl and carfentanil.
Carfentanil is literally
used to put down elephants.
It's 100 times more powerful
than fentanyl, which is
100 times more powerful than heroin.
Right.
Leads to pretty bad math.
You can imagine the effect
it had on a 150-pound teenager.
Anything else?
The chemical signature
of the sample we sent
is unsophisticated, powerful.
Leads me to believe we're
dealing with a DIY chemist.
If this stuff is really on the streets,
we're gonna be seeing
a lot more of this.
♪
Six dead kids with bright futures.
Four were already accepted to college.
Two were planning to join the Air Force.
So somebody help me out with the math
because this is not adding up.
Elise, tell me about the social media,
anything leading us to believe
that these kids wanted to die.
No all their posts
were completely normal
for kids that age.
Seemed excited about the future,
lots of upbeat posts
about high school graduation,
the colleges they were accepted to.
All right, let's assume
this was not a mass suicide,
which means
it was an accidental overdose.
Kelly Moran, anything from their phones?
Yeah, I haven't finished
scrubbing all the data yet,
but just found this
from Meghan Dolan's phone.
Time to party, everybody.
Timestamp indicates it was taken
30 minutes before
estimated time of death.
Come on, Meghan.
For the record, I'm not
too sure about any of this.
You're gonna love it.
Here, let me hold your phone.
First time for everything, right?
Atta girl.
[CHUCKLES]
That kid just signed
their death warrant.
So who is he?
Tony Hasa, Albanian immigrant.
Looks like he's got
a sealed juvenile record.
Just turned 19 and he already
has two collars
for felony assault in the Bronx.
Four months ago, he was released
from court-appointed drug rehab.
No current address.
And he's not one of the dead kids.
So how does a tough kid from the Bronx
intersect with these kids
from leafy Westchester?
Got this from social media.
Hasa works out
at the same martial arts gym
in Mount Vernon as two of our dead kids.
There's the connection, bingo.
Okay, so how do we find him?
Last court filing on his cases,
he listed Tirana Lounge
as a place of employment.
It's a bar in the Bronx.
It's a good place to start.
Let's bring this kid in for questioning.
FBI. Looking for Tony Hasa.
- Who?
- Tony Hasa.
Never heard of him.
- We know he works here.
- Wrong.
Friendly reminder, it's
a felony to lie to the FBI.
Who's lying?
You wanna try that again?
Same answer.
What about you?
I don't know the guy.
Okay.
Well, when he comes back in,
you can let him know
that we're looking for him.
It's the kind of place
that would just as soon
shoot you in the face
as pour you a drink.
Psst. Hey, yo?
I'm Agent Sula, assigned
over at Organized Crime.
Are you working a case on these guys?
Look, can't really talk right now,
but the kid you're
looking for, Tony Hasa,
he stays at a basement
apartment at 187th.
It's 522, halfway up the block.
Good seeing you again, Agent Zidan.
You know him?
♪
All right, so Jubal confirmed
there is, in fact,
Agent Sula assigned
to the Organized Crime branch.
So hopefully this guy knows
what he's talking about.
Tony Hasa, FBI.
- Check it out.
- [KNOCKING]
Hey, Tony?
It's open.
♪
Tony?
Tony Hasa?
Wake up.
Tony's dead.
It looks like another overdose.
All right, so M.E. confirmed
that Tony Hasa died of an overdose.
The drugs in his system were the same
as the drugs in the other six.
So we need to find whoever is selling
this poison before more kids,
innocent or not,
end up on a slab.
We recovered Tony Hasa's
cell at the scene,
so what did that phone tell us?
It was activated yesterday
morning, so not a lot of data,
but there was an interesting
text exchange with another burner.
Okay, "Tony: I messed up and
took a little of your stash.
"Some kids died. Burner: What? How?
"Tony: I don't feel good. Please help.
"Burner: Boss is gonna to go crazy.
"Tony: Sorry. Need help.
Burner: Good. See you in hell."
Great. Okay. Anything after that?
- No, that's it.
- Okay.
So we need to track down
the empathetic soul
on the other side of that exchange.
I'm guessing he's the one
dealing the poison.
I've been scrubbing security cam footage
from across the street
of Tony's apartment.
So he arrived 39 minutes after the video
of him supplying the drugs was recorded.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Opioid swoon.
This kid is struggling.
Yeah, he probably took the
same pills as the other kid,
but he's a user, has a tolerance,
was able to make it home before dying.
But 20 minutes later,
this guy showed up.
Okay.
Fast forward it.
All right, so he was in there
for six minutes
and did not call for medical attention,
and he took something that is likely
a key piece of evidence. So who is he?
Bad angle, can't get facial rec.
What about the car? The plate?
Plate comes back cold,
registered with the same make and model,
but was totaled three weeks ago
according to DMV.
Okay, let's work the cameras
from the scene out.
Let's find out who this mystery man is.
Hey, Organized Crime guys
just showed up.
Nobody else dies from this poison!
Get to work.
The Tirana Lounge
is owned by a gangster?
Yeah, a guy named Fabian Shabani,
runs an Albanian crime organization.
Right hand man is Luhan Hyka.
Okay, so you've been working
the case against these guys?
Yeah, money laundering.
All right. And how do you fit in?
I've been under for three months,
posing as an ex-con looking for work.
We're in the process of expanding this
into a full-blown RICO case.
Might be able to wipe out the
whole gang, Shabani included.
So I need you guys to tread lightly.
We have seven dead teenagers.
I'm afraid treading lightly
is not in the cards.
We will be working with Agent Sula,
leveraging his connections.
In the meantime, your case is on hold.
We've been working on this for months.
This operation is very
important to the ADIC.
He'll back me up on this.
Well, I just got off
the phone with the ADIC,
and he gave me his unequivocal support.
Feel free to call him if you like.
You will be working
with Agent Zidan and Bell.
They're in the conference room.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Good to see you again.
Word is we're working together.
You, uh, used my name back there.
Do we know each other?
No, but you spoke at my
high school class once.
You talked about what it was
like to be a Muslim in the FBI.
[SCOFFS] Hope he didn't
put you to sleep.
Actually, it was more of an awakening.
You made me believe that
it was possible to be
both a good Muslim
and an effective agent.
Well, that's good.
Make up for the granola bar
you ate this morning.
Any talk about Tony Hasa's
overdose at the lounge
or the dead kids up in Bronxville?
I haven't heard anything specific,
but there was definitely
a lot of commotion
in the back room this morning.
Uh, the boss, Shabani,
was yelling and screaming at everyone.
Who's this?
This is Dardan Hasa, Tony's uncle.
How was he involved in the business?
- Drugs.
- Great. We'll start there.
You interact with this guy?
You think you could
plant a listening device?
Yeah.
He tried to sell me
a few guns the other day.
I'll tell him I found a buyer.
Okay. And if he's there
and he lets you in,
see if you can get him
talking about the drugs.
Sounds like a plan.
I'll get the listening device.
Be about 20 minutes.
Which way is east?
East is that way.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- Join me in prayer?
Um, I'm gonna have to
make it up, but feel free.
You know, I was figuring
with my tech background,
they would assign me to cybercrime.
When they asked me to penetrate
Shabani's crew, jumped at it.
It's a good assignment.
It's more than that.
I hate these bastards.
They bully their own people,
force them to pay protection money.
They tried to do that to my father.
He was a tailor, but he refused to pay,
so they beat the hell out of
him right outside the mosque.
I'm sorry to hear that, man.
Taking these guys down will be a joy.
And in the process
[SPEAKING ARABIC]
Little help?
Means to honor
and respect one's parents.
All right, Tiff and Scola are on site.
Your wire secure?
Keep it on just in case.
I haven't been packing.
I don't wanna make Dardan nervous.
No, I get it, but there's a reason
why we carry, especially in
situations like this, so keep it.
"Offensive" is gonna be our safe word.
You say that, we'll come running, okay?
Copy that.
♪
[KNOCKING]
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
I wanted to talk to you
about those guns.
I just met a potential buyer.
There's lots of heat on me right now.
This helps take the edge off.
This buyer you know him?
Dealt with him before?
Yeah, he's a good guy.
So what kind of heat?
This moron, Tony, screwed up.
He ruined the biggest deal
we had in the works.
Supposed to go down tomorrow, but
So what about this buyer of yours?
How do you know him?
We I used to buy coke
from him when I was younger.
He's a drug dealer?
How much is he willing to pay?
1,500 bucks, all three guns.
What's his name?
John.
John what?
See, you're not a good liar, Val.
Hey, come on.
Dardan, it's me.
What are you doing?
This is offensive.
Offensive? No.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
At the door, you said you just met him.
Now you're saying
you used to deal with him
when you were younger. Which one is it?

FBI! Drop the gun!
[GUNSHOTS]
Dardan left out the back.
I'm in pursuit of the suspect.

Suspect is down.
I need an ambulance
at 2800 Lorillard Place.
You guys good?
You had a clean shot.
Why didn't you take it?
No, I just I I thought I was
I mean, in my head,
I was pulling the trigger,
and then
Okay, well, we got him.
- Is he gonna die?
- I don't know.
Just got the warrant for Dardan's van.
Here. Go on the other side.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Any dope?
No, but I got piperidinamine
and lithium aluminum.
Everything's empty.
Maggie, that means these guys
are making their own drugs.
Looks like it.
♪
All right, so based on
the empty chemical containers,
it appears this crew
is making their own pills
in mass quantities.
Can we track the van that
we found the containers in?
We tried, but he disabled
the vehicle's GPS.
Okay, what about LPRs, cameras
in and around Dardan's apartment?
Tried that too. No luck.
Hey, suspect is in surgery,
prognosis is unclear,
which means if he pulls through,
Val is burned as an undercover.
So for now, let's not
tell Dardan's family
what's going on and buy
ourselves a little more time.
We need Val to plant a bug on Shabani.
Is Val gonna be okay?
Didn't exactly go smooth at Dardan's.
OA talked to him.
He thinks he's gonna be fine.
All right, well, we've gotta
find out when and where
that drop is happening,
and he is our best shot.
Yep.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Okay. Button cam is working.
- How are you feeling?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm good.
Okay.
Omar, is there any chance
Dardan's mother and father
can see him while he's in the hospital?
Eventually, but he is
making and selling drugs
that are responsible
for killing seven kids.
Okay, so let's not waste our energy
worrying about him too much.
It's not about him.
It's about his mother and father.
I've met them.
They're not involved with Shabani.
They're practicing Muslims like us.
I get it.
But we gotta focus on this right now.
This is the device.
It's a key fob with a detachable piece.
You pull this out and plant it,
and we're good to go, sound and picture.
- Got it?
- Yeah. I'm good.
You sure these guys talk
business in the back room?
Boss is always in there working.
There's always a lot of people
coming and going.
Okay. Let's do it.
Hey, so I've got something
I wanna run by Shabani.
You think it's okay if I go back there?
What do you mean?
I've got some friends, Dominicans.
They're looking at getting
into the fentanyl business.
If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut
and bring the boss's lunch
when it gets here.
Don't press it, Val.
Take the man his lunch,
anything that gets you
in that back room.
Fine.
I'll serve his lunch
on a silver platter,
shine his shoes while I'm at it.
Smart boy.
I'm thirsty.
And you know it's bad luck
for Albanians to drink alone.
So
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SPEAKS LANGUAGE]
What's wrong?
Drink.
Take the drink, Val.
What's he doing?
Take the damn drink.
Yo, somebody order food?
Is it that big of a deal to drink?
I mean, I've seen you have a cocktail,
or two, undercover or not.
If you are really devout, yes.
I was that way when I first started.
Yeah, but you were working undercover
with radical jihadis, not gangsters.
There's this concept in
Islam called "al-darurah."
And it allows you to make exceptions
to the doctrine in cases
of necessity or extreme need.
Okay, so you basically have a blanket
get-out-of-jail-free card.
No, but I use it to balance
my work and faith,
and Val is gonna need to reconcile that
if he's gonna be an effective agent.
Honestly, Organized Crime
should've checked
this kid's level of devotion
before putting him under.
♪
Hey!
What's up?
No phones back there.
Oh. Got it.

I always had that other kid check
to make sure the owner's
brother isn't cooking.
- He's awful.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY]
We are up on the bug. Good work.
Thanks. My heart's still pounding.
Yeah, I bet.
But listen, Val, when it
comes to something like
taking a drink, sometimes it's
better to play the part,
stay in character.
I don't drink alcohol.
Val, this isn't a training exercise.
Okay?
One misstep's gonna get you killed.
I'll do whatever I can to help the team,
but my faith
I don't screw around with that.
I get that, okay? I do.
I thought when I first started
I could follow all the rules too, but
The rules?
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
You know what I mean.
They're not rules.
It's the word of God and the
Prophet, peace be upon me.
What I am saying is that the bullets
in these guns are real.
So sometimes you might need
to give yourself a break,
okay, adjust to reality.
You mean surrender?
I mean adjust.
Get your head in the game.
Get back out there. Go.

Jubal, what's up?
Hey, so we've been monitoring the bug.
Okay. And?
And there's gonna be
a meeting with the Latin Kings
in about two hours.
Okay.
It's probably our buyer.
That's good news, right?
It is, but it's not happening
at Shabani's office.
It's happening in the
apartment above the bar.
So you need us to plant another bug?
Well, according to real estate records,
it's owned by Shabani,
but according to utility records,
somebody else lives there,
an imam from a local mosque.
- An imam?
- Yeah, and he seems legit.
Leaves early, comes home late.
Spends most of his time at
his mosque on Webster Avenue.
And we really feel comfortable
bugging an imam's apartment?
No, unless Shabani
is using that apartment
for illicit meetings.
If the imam comes home,
we will deactivate the device.
It's not an ideal situation,
but we've gotta take a swing.

I told them I was
putting money in the meter,
- so I can't be too long.

What do you know about
the apartment upstairs
being used for meetings?

- Mm-hmm.
Look, we heard on the wire
that Shabani uses that place
to speak with the Latin Kings.
So we need you to go up there
and plant another camera.
- In the imam's apartment?
- Yes.
Odds are high that
they're gonna be discussing
that major drug deal
that Dardan mentioned.
Can we find another way?
No.
We don't have time to find another way.
So nothing else matters?
You just make the case?
No, Val, what matters is the parents
that we talked to this morning
whose 17-year-old daughter
is lying in a morgue,
her future vaporized
by the poison that Shabani
is making and peddling, okay?
That's what matters.
Still, I can't do it.
This is the FBI, man.
You can't pick and choose
the orders you wanna follow.
What I mean is, I literally can't do it.
I barely made it through
surreptitious entry training.

That kid just signed
their death warrant.
So who is he?
Tony Hasa, Albanian immigrant.
Looks like he's got
a sealed juvenile record.
Just turned 19 and he already
has two collars
for felony assault in the Bronx.
Four months ago, he was released
from court-appointed drug rehab.
No current address.
And he's not one of the dead kids.
So how does a tough kid from the Bronx
intersect with these kids
from leafy Westchester?
Got this from social media.
Hasa works out
at the same martial arts gym
in Mount Vernon as two of our dead kids.
There's the connection, bingo.
Okay, so how do we find him?
Last court filing on his cases,
he listed Tirana Lounge
as a place of employment.
It's a bar in the Bronx.
It's a good place to start.
Let's bring this kid in for questioning.

- Wrong.
Friendly reminder, it's

The drugs in his system were the same
as the drugs in the other six.
So we need to find whoever is selling
this poison before more kids,
innocent or not,
end up on a slab.
We recovered Tony Hasa's
cell at the scene,
so what did that phone tell us?
It was activated yesterday
morning, so not a lot of data,
but there was an interesting
text exchange with another burner.
Okay, "Tony: I messed up and
took a little of your stash.
"Some kids died. Burner: What? How?
"Tony: I don't feel good. Please help.
"Burner: Boss is gonna to go crazy.
"Tony: Sorry. Need help.
Burner: Good. See you in hell."
Great. Okay. Anything after that?
- No, that's it.
- Okay.
So we need to track down
the empathetic soul
on the other side of that exchange.
I'm guessing he's the one
dealing the poison.
I've been scrubbing security cam footage
from across the street
of Tony's apartment.
So he arrived 39 minutes after the video
of him supplying the drugs was recorded.

this guy showed up.
Okay.
Fast forward it.
All right, so he was in there

a key piece of evidence. So who is he?

runs an Albanian crime organization.
Right hand man is Luhan Hyka.
Okay, so you've been working

Yeah, money laundering.
All right. And how do you fit in?
I've been under for three months,
posing as an ex-con looking for work.
We're in the process of expanding this

Don't move.
Go, go, go.
Hey, Jubal, we found the lab.
Roll Hazmat.
These burners are still on.
Don't you wanna wait for Hazmat?
This place goes, whole
neighborhood's going with it.
Scola?

- OA, are you okay?

Hey.
Wanted to come see you
before I met with my boss.
You okay?
No.
If I'm being honest,
I'm really not okay.
I know it's not easy,
but you did the right thing.
You saved my life.
You know, I was naive,
convinced myself I'd never have to kill.
[SIGHS]
I get that.
First person I ever killed,
I couldn't eat or sleep for three days.
I don't wanna be in that position again.
You just need some time, process things.
No, I get it, but it's more than that.
I don't like all the
compromises you need to make.
My Imam says life is faith.
Faith is life.

I'm jealous of you.
Why is that?
You don't struggle
with these things like I do.
