Some operation you're running.
It wasn't an op.
This was an investigation.
Well, whatever we call it,
I think we can agree
you made a mess.

All due respect
The real mess wasn't made
here in New York.
That was you guys over there.
You're not qualified
to make that assertion.
I spent enough time running
and gunning with CIA types
like you in the Valley, sir.
When did your investigation
turn to events in Tehran 2005?
And let me remind you,
this is all getting
entered into the record.
Oh, your classified report, yeah.
Can't wait to read that.
Oh, wait, uh, no one ever will.
The real mess wasn't made today.
It was made a long time ago.
You failed these people.
What do you know about what I do?
I know enough.
I'd be happy to stick to the facts
if I was asked a direct question.
Fair enough.
How's this for direct?

Arturo Diaz, 16th precinct.
Special Agent Maggie Bell.
This is my partner.
Omar Zidan.
We understand a bomb went off at speed?
Truck exploded at 8:00 this morning.
Couple of bikers went down.
Looks like cars wrecked when
they tried to dodge debris.
Any witnesses?
None that aren't being
rushed to a hospital.
Terrorist activity, we're thinking.
These cameras catch anything?
Nah, every camera in the zone
stopped working simultaneous.
How about that?
That's sophisticated.
Looks like our bomb tech's
got his work cut out for him.
Hey.
Just because it's
your last day of school
does not mean that you get to be late.
Sorry. I was finishing up packing.
And a coffee run, apparently.
It's for you, actually.
Tiff.
So what we got?
The pickup was the target.
Looks like they placed the
device next to the fuel tank
good place for it.
Strange thing it was rigged
with an EMP emitter
that disabled all nearby electronics.
- How do you know that?
- I'm a bomb tech.
Yes, you are.
Any ID on the driver?
Not possible. He was a crispy critter.
We did pull the VIN
off the frame, though.
Great, thanks.
Hey, Scola.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Can you pull that camera?
Get it to the JOC?
Maybe Ian can tell us
what the hell happened here.
I'm not gonna miss this.
♪
All right, folks,
if I were you, I'd cancel
my fancy dinner plans
'cause this is the only place
we'll be digging in.
We got a car bomb
on the Henry Hudson Parkway.
2 in critical condition, 11 dead now,
including the driver of a Dodge Ram,
who we think was the target.
Our goal, figure out
who planted the bomb.
Simple enough, right?
Ian, talk to me.
According to our bomb tech,
it was a limpet bomb,
attached magnetically
to the back of the truck.
- I would like to know when.
- As would I.
But where are we with the GoPro
found at the scene?
Well, the memory card
was charred in the blast.
I'm working with CART to retrieve it,
- but I wouldn't hold my breath.
- Right.
Okay, so then we work
backwards, focus on the target.
What do we know about
the driver of our pickup truck?
Right, the VIN we recovered
is registered to a plumber
in Kew Gardens named Tariq Amini
53 years old, born and raised in Queens.
No priors, pays his taxes on time,
five-star reviews on Yelp.
Well, you may be impressed
that Tariq Amini
has zero online footprint
I mean nothing.
No Facebook, no Twitter,
no website for his business
until two weeks ago,
when his daughter posted this photo
on her Instagram.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's my next question?
- Who's the friend?
- Yeah.
We don't know. Not in our system.
But this is literally the only image
- of Tariq Amini on the Web.
- So he's paranoid.
Strange detail is in the timing.
He slips up, a single photo gets posted.
Two weeks later, he's dead.
So who would want to assassinate
such an excellent plumber?
Assassinate?
We sure we want to go there?
Well, limpet bomb rigged
with an electromagnetic pulse.
Well, it's an ambitious device.
- Definitely not homemade.
- It's strange is what it is.
That's a lot of firepower
to take out an average Joe.
All right, Maggie and OA
are gonna notify Tariq's wife.
If there's more to this guy,
maybe she can clue us in.

I-I-I don't remember this,

I loved it.
It's the only photo

How did that happen?
Uh, I posted it.
It was from my graduation party.
Did he say anything to you about that?
- Ask you to take it down?
- No.
No, he did not.
This man in the photo
Oh, that's Uncle Cyrus,
my dad's best friend.
Where was Tariq headed this morning?
Work.
Always. Always work, even on weekends.
He said that this summer,
we'd go to the mountains, but, uh
He give you that? It's beautiful.
Yeah, uh, it's a family heirloom.
I hate to ask you this,
but did your husband owe anyone money?
Have any enemies,
any recent altercations?
No, I-I did the books for his business.
He did not owe money to anyone.
Mrs. Amini, someone
wanted your husband dead.
And they went to great lengths
to make sure they got the job done.
Tariq was a good man.
He brought a smile to the face
of everyone he ever met.
That's not what I asked you.
There were no altercations.
And the suggestion that this was
anything other than a senseless
murder I do not abide it.
So why don't you do your job,
you find the culprit,
and you bring us peace?

Well, you're gonna hate
my next question.
Where were you at 8:00 this morning?
You really think I had something
to do with Tariq's death?
We were brothers.
You were like brothers.
Sarah Amini calls you Uncle Cyrus,
but there's no record that
you and Tariq were related.
Lifelong friends.
It doesn't make his death less painful.
Your whereabouts this morning?
I was here.
I had a repairman in.
Look, you want to tell us
what's going on here?
The sign says you're open.
You got the door locked

We got two males dressed in all black

on a black Ducati Monster
armed and dangerous.
Two-man job gunner takes two shots,
drops the window pane, makes the kill.
Driver speeds them off, right?
So we were inches off
of their target line, Tiff.
They either needed us out of their
way to visually confirm their kill,

It makes sense to need some time off.
This does not have to be permanent.

All right, so our two shooters
last seen fleeing Sunnyside,
Queens, on a Ducati Monster.
You're working traffic cams,
right, anyone got them?
Yeah, most recent camera footage
has them ducking into a parking
garage seven blocks south.
We swept every floor no sign
of them at the location.
They planned to avoid cameras
by using the garage
as a pivot point that's fine with me.
Narrows their options, slows them down.
Hey, I got something, and it is wild.
I managed to recover footage from
the GoPro we found at the scene.
All right, look alive, people.
Impress me, Ian.
Okay, so there's our victim
in the Dodge Ram.
And here come the shooters
on the Ducati.
And this has to be where they attached
the limpet bomb to the side
of the victim's pickup.
- How fast are they going?
- 50 miles an hour, maybe 60.
So, at high speed,
the shooter places the bomb
on a moving target
and then snipes his best friend
two hours later with precision.
With this kind of skill and resources,
these are definitely professional hits.
No doubt, but on a plumber
and his best friend?
They must have been important
to someone powerful.
The question is who.
Whoever did this, that second victim
he knew that he was in hot water.
Right before he was shot,
he said, "You abandoned us."
He said that to you guys?
So who are you? Law enforcement?
Feds? U.S. government?
We abandoned them.
I wonder how we did that.
Hey, I think we might know
where the shooters are headed.
Yeah, we scrubbed
traffic-cam footage backwards
from the bombing
some gaps where they disappear.
Right, but there's one location
they visit multiple times
before and after the bombing
a rare-book shop on the Upper East Side.

You got a lot on your plate.
Yeah, well, Ella's not sleeping,

Yes, all to say,
I do have a lot on my plate.

You want to get
the Iranian consulate on this?
I'm having an agent do that.
It's just gonna take a beat
before somebody gets here.
Based on the contraband we collected,
he's looking more like a facilitator.
It's a local contact
who provides weapons and intel
on people for foreign actors.
I don't know you really
think Iran is bold enough
to target American citizens
on U.S. soil?
They got to people
in the Netherlands in 2015.
Iran went after their own people there.
Dissidents that fled Iran
yeah, same situation.
They were hiding out for
decades, kept their heads down,
made one mistake, IRGC took them out.

of the explosive devices
that they used in the basement
of your shop.

Bijan Tadjvar refused a deal.
He's too leveraged,
and he implied
that that hit list is longer.
Right, so h-how do we
figure out who else is on it?
Bijan did a number on his laptop.
The shop turned up cash
and unregistered weapons,
but no intel on any future targets
or on our plumber or Laundromat owner.
Well, they ended up
on that list somehow.
And all signals point to our victims
being New Yorkers, born and bred, right?
There's nothing that ties them
to Iran, even tangentially.
Well, if they aren't from here,
someone did a bang-up job
helping them fake it.
Hey, I was able to recover partial data
from Bijan Tadjvar's laptop.
You're a magician. Show me.
Okay, buried in his bookkeeping files,
a hidden folder.
The docs are written in Farsi,
so I sent them out
for translation,
but they're not relevant.
One file might be.
Opened yesterday at the same time
that the shooters were there look.
All right, so they were all in
this back office looking at this file.
It's a surveillance photo from 2005.
So who are they?
Run their faces against our database.
Already ahead of you. That's
Tariq and Cyrus, 20 years younger.
Where is this photo?
Is there any metadata?
It's Central Tehran.
That's Azadi Tower in the background.
So maybe this photo is the hit list.
The killers went after these two men,
which means our next target
could be anyone in this photo.
Run every face.
Their backstories were phony.
Who the hell were these people, really?
And how the hell did they
end up on an Iranian hit list?

You think Tariq, Cyrus,
and Nadia took out
a general in the secret police?
Well, I-I think if the CIA
is interested in Nadia Amini,
this could be the reason why, right?
Iran had just elected
new leaders, hard-liners,
so progressive students
like Nadia Amini,
they'd be put under
a microscope, they're angry.
Making them ideal recruits
for CIA operations.
Like a bombing the CIA's trying
to distance themselves from.
So the CIA puts them up to it.
And then smuggles them out,
sets them up here,
fake names, backstopped
identities, the works.
Wouldn't be the first time
we used people like that.
Used them and then forgot them.
The CIA, they
they came to us in May 2005.
They wanted General Moridi eliminated.
They supplied us with a bomb
and blueprints
to a bathhouse that Moridi visited.
It was a mission in exchange
for our new identities
and passage to the States.
- So they got you out of Iran?
- Yeah.
Yeah, only to be dropped

left to figure out our lives on our own.
So Dad killed someone?
