[LAUGHTER]
Hey, let's just go home, Caitlin.
There's no way we're gonna
make it onto the tour bus.
I didn't spend two hours
doing your nails
for us to go home early.
Come on!
Caitlin, Cait
God, you always do this.
Hey! Hey!
You're Jeff, right? Turnkot's manager?
Turnkot told me to talk to you
about getting on the bus.
Yeah, I'm sure he did.
It's true!
He DM'd me from his fan account.
Ask him.
Turnkot!
It's Caitlin.
Remember, we were gonna hang?
You said I'd be good
for your next video.
All right.
It's your lucky night.
- [LAUGHTER]
- Oh, my God.
Wait. Hey, are you sure about this?
Harsha, this is going to be
the best night of our lives.
Okay.

- Morning.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Morning.
I'm sorry I fell asleep on the couch.
I was drowning in paperwork.
All good. Didn't wanna wake you.
It looked like you were
sleeping and dreaming
of after-action reports.
Well, I am all caught up now.
And I am free tonight,
if you wanna celebrate.
Yeah, always.
What are we celebrating?
I have officially hit
my 20th at the bureau
and can retire with full benefits.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Izzy, that's great.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I'm gonna decant something
ridiculous for tonight.
You know, before I met you,
my job was everything.
And you have been nothing but patient.
Oh, please, patience has
nothing to do with it.
I know full well how dedicated
you are, how passionate.
And frankly, I find it
- Exhausting?
- Sensual, actually.
[LAUGHS]
- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.
How did you know
when it was time to retire?
[SIGHS]
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know. I just, uh
[SIGHS]
I don't know.
Look, the work never ends, right?
And so I think at a certain point,
I just felt that my part
in the work was finished.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]
Hmm.
Seven dead, including Lewis Thorton.
You most likely know him
by another name,
Turnkot.
The rapper.
My sister used to listen to him.
Yeah, he's got fans.
They're on the sidewalk with paparazzi,
dying to contaminate the scene.
Could have published a book
with all the lyrics this jagoff
wrote about PD, so Chief felt
that the Feds would be better,
you know, situated to deal with it.
Appreciate that.
Who were the other vics?
Members of his entourage
and last night's lucky duo.
Lucky duo?
Manager said guy had a tradition
pick two lucky fans
to party with after the show.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[SIGHS]
It wasn't part of the
tradition to check IDs.
I mean, these are kids.
These girls gotta be, what?
16, according to her learner's permit.
Same with her friend.
Tell your chief we're happy to help.
I'll tell you what. This looks personal.
Yeah? Why do you say that?
Well, he still has half
a million around his neck.
Nothing else was taken.
- This wasn't about money.
- Right.
So what was it about?
Turnkot was on the rise.
I really believe that.
And now his publicist is
up my ass about releasing
his final LP posthumously.
Can we bury the guy first?
I tried to tell him, when you
get to a certain level of fame,
you've gotta have real security.
Instead, he hired his friends.
Were there any incidents before this?
You'd get the occasional
drunk fan who didn't leave.
A couple kids tried to
siphon gas out of our tank.
Stuff like that, but nothing like this!
Any idea who would wanna target Turnkot?
Lady, did they not provide you internet?
Anyone who's ever been online
knows who did this.
Good morning, everybody.
So yeah, Turnkot, AKA Lewis Thorton,
was gunned down late last night,
along with his entourage
and two teenage girls,
Caitlin Thomas
and Harsha Andani, fans of his
who were in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
Now, the rapper's manager seems to think
the murders were fallout
from some very public rap beef.
I'm more of a yacht rock guy myself,
so someone might have to
help me out with that.
Well, embarrassed to admit,
but while everybody has been
obsessed with the
Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud,
I have been tracking
Turnkot's beef with Tariq Ward.
You know Tariq Ward,
Brooklyn-based rapper.
They had a very contentious
run-in on stage
at Rolling Loud, a hip-hop festival that
turned into a full-on war,
with both men dropping
brutal diss tracks every week.
You're familiar with diss tracks?
Now, be nice.
All right, so they were trading insults.
Is that really motive for murder?
Well, more than just insults.
Tariq accused Turnkot
of being a pedophile.
"High on his own supply
of high school hotties"
was the lyric,
so Turnkot threatened to put
a bullet in Tariq's ear.
At least then he'd have
an excuse to be tone deaf.
All right, well,
is there any reason to believe
these threats are
anything more than bluster?
Well, both Tariq and Turnkot
have rap sheets.
Their lyrics point to an
affiliation with rival gangs.
Tariq has a litany of weapons charges,
and he served 18 months
for aggravated assault
a few years back.
Yeah, Jubal,
you're gonna want to see this.
Okay.
Guessing the charts
ain't enough, huh?
After that verse, you gon'
need a hearse for real.
Brooklyn ain't your bitch, bitch.
Go back to Cleveland.
Climb back in your ditch, snitch.
You little rat.
I heard you like 'em young, son.
Ain't no time for that.
I throw on the track,
squash you like a gnat.
Time to get my gun
and make you flashback.
Okay, when did he post this?
Uh, during Turnkot's Brooklyn show,
two hours before the bus attack.
We should talk to him.
Let's bring him in.
♪
[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
It costs a whole lot. You see that?
You see that green? All that, baby.
All right, Agent Rhodes,
you ready to go viral?
Here we go.
FBI.
Tariq Ward Tariq.
FBI. Special Agent Zidan.
This is Rhodes and Scola.
We have some questions to ask
you, if you'd come with us.
Ah, here we go.
It's the Feds, y'all. The Federales!
Turnkot gets popped, now we here.
Better watch yourself, suit.
I ain't going nowhere.
You wanna set an example
for the kids, Mr. Ward?
Cooperate.
Ask me nicely, baby girl. I just might.
As long as you promise to
bust out those handcuffs.
No, you're not gonna
talk to her like that.
Ain't nobody talking to you, white boy.
- Get the hell off my set.
- Hey, hey.
- You can't put hands
- Back up. Back up.
- Back up. Back up.
- Relax, everybody.
- Get off of me!
- Back up. Back up.
You can't put your hands on us.
See how that works? Come on.
Now you gotta come with me. Let's go.
You come for me, you gonna bleed!
Make no mistake.
Turnkot dropped tracks!
Tariq Ward drops bodies!
I warned him not to come
to Brooklyn, didn't I?
Didn't I?
Okay, buddy, let's go.
Hey, my bad, heavy.
Had to do my thing for the cameras.
You know, everything content these days.
But you get it.
You say "content." I heard a confession.
Now, listen, I didn't ice Turnkot.
We know that you guys have been fighting
on stage, social media,
making threats of violence.
From where I'm sitting, it looks like
you finally snapped
and made good on those threats.
Hold up, me and my boys
were in AC last night
Borgata Casino, craps table.
- They got video.
- We'll verify that.
And we need the names of your boys too.
Of course.
Look, this whole feud
was just publicity, okay?
Streamers only cut us on
at 0.003 cents per stream,
and that goes to my label.
Then I get a cut.
Multiply that by 2 mil,
and I'm still broke.
I wanted to quit.
Then I found the cheat code.
There's a linear-ass correlation
between engagement with our diss tracks
and the streaming charts.
Put me on Rap Caviar.
Now, why would I want him dead?
This beef's the best thing
to ever happen to me.
Okay.
If not you, then who else
would come for Turnkot?
I mean, let's be real.
Nobody liked Turnkot.
He was full of himself, rude,
his thing for young girls.
And don't get me started
on that crook, Jeff Mills.
His tour manager?
Mills used to be my guy
till I caught him skimming cash,
charging me for expenses
I never used on tour.
When I saw that same fully
optioned electric tour bus
on "TMZ," I knew what was up
Jeff Mills running
the same old tired-ass scams.
He say the tour bus is electric?
Yeah. Why?
Mills mentioned the gas tanks earlier.
An EV wouldn't have those.
Well, let's go see if ER
is still processing the scene.
All right, thank you.
ERT confirmed the bus is fully electric.
Okay, well, that would have
freed up space
for them to build this thing.
Look at this.
Hold on.
[GRUNTS]
[WHISTLES] Okay.
This is a pretty serious
custom trap job.
What do you think was in there?
I don't know.
But whatever it was,
apparently it was worth
killing seven people for.
- Scola.
- Yeah.
I've got another one over here.
♪
That's about $2 million
worth of cocaine right there.
This wasn't about some rap beef.
No.
Something tells me
this was just the opening shot.
♪
You lied to a federal agent, Jeff.
That's felony number one.
Given that you were trying to skip town
when we picked you up,
I figured we're not
the only ones you're ducking.
So who are you running drugs for?
Well, that depends on
what kind of plea deal you can offer.
You were using your bus
to distribute drugs
all across the country, using
your client's tours as cover.
Felony number two.
That's 20 years, minimum.
Maybe 30, with all
the innocent lives lost
as a result of your scheme,
two of which were teenage girls.
If we find out that
you provided underage girls
for your client, that's
human trafficking of minors.
10 to life, if they convict.
I was not a part of that.
I told him to cut it out with the girls,
but, uh, I worked for the guy, you know?
He didn't listen.
I'm heartbroken those kids got killed.
Maybe
I could get another client
to do a benefit concert.
Yeah, I don't think a benefit concert
is gonna cut it, okay?
So who are you moving these drugs for?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Oh, I'd rather be quiet than dead.
My suppliers are not forgiving people.
If I talk,
these guys will disembowel me.
Two girls are dead for no reason.
You can make that right.
♪
I'll need protection.
A lot of it.
Yeah, you'll get protection.
Now, give us some names.
Yeah, all right, folks,
so Jeff Mills just admitted
to using Turnkot's tour to run drugs
for a gang called the Solanos.
Gang Unit, you wanna
bring us up to speed on them?
The Solanos are known narco traffickers
with relatively new footholds
up and down the east coast.
Locally, they've cornered
the market on pink cocaine.
Okay, this is the the drug
that the One Direction singer
- was on when he died, right?
- Correct.
It doesn't actually have cocaine in it.
Usually, it's a mixture of
ketamine, MDMA, and opioids,
making it four times as potent.
We've been trying to figure out how
they moved their product for months.
Okay, so one mystery solved.
But the Solanos wouldn't
hit their own stash.
So who might have wanted to rob them?
It's a long list.
Every gang in the tristate area
has lost territory to the Solanos.
Right.
All right, well,
let's work smarter, not harder.
Has any pink cocaine hit
the street since last night?
Short answer is yes.
One of my street level CIs
said he saw a crew of guys
at a club in Midtown last night,
selling and seemingly
celebrating with pink cocaine.
All right, let's get
a location on those guys.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Perimeter is in place. Let's move.
♪
Place is empty.
[GUNSHOTS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
You good?
All good.
It's definitely the crew
that ripped off the Solanos' shipment.
Yeah.
But who are they?
♪
All right, folks! What have we got?
Give me something good.
Ballistics confirmed
a match this morning.
Shooters were the same
traffickers that attacked the tour bus.
Good news, they won't
be hurting anyone else.
Two of them were local hoods,
guns for hire.
Bad news is that the third was a capo
for the Grippo Crime Family.
Uh, oh, okay.
But last I heard,
the Grippos had gone quiet.
Yeah, or that's how
they wanted it to look.
They wound down operations,
trafficking guns, women,
various substances,
especially after they lost
their patriarch, Jack Grippo.
He is number three on the
Most Wanted watch list
with a hefty million-dollar reward.
UFAP still has an outstanding
warrant for his arrest.
But in 2009, he fled to Cuba,
a non-extradition country,
and has been untouchable ever since.
You keeping tabs on old Jack?
Well, it's one of those names.
- I can't help myself.
- Right.
So Jack is in hiding.
What, someone's been
making moves in his name?
Rumor has it that would
be Sonny Grippo, Jack's son.
Right.
Organized Crime suspects he's been
secretly rebuilding the org.
He's been questioned in connection
to several major crimes,
but there hasn't been
enough evidence to arrest him.
Do we have a location on Sonny?
Yeah cell phone's pinging
from his residence in Chelsea.
All right, we don't have
enough to arrest him, not yet,
but we can make him sweat.
- Bring him in.
- Yeah.
And Jubal, when he gets here,
let me know.
I wanna run point on this one.
Yeah, yeah.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
You recognize this man?
Isn't ID'ing victims
supposed to be your job?
I wouldn't refer to him
as a victim, Mr. Grippo.
He and his two associates
killed seven people
in the past 24 hours.
Take a closer look.
Oh, yeah.
I think maybe he used
to work for my pops.
It's interesting.
Your father's been gone 16 years,
but his boys remain active.
If you say so.
This man who did work for
your father didn't just hit
a multi-million dollar cocaine jackpot
without someone's say so.
And you're the most senior
member of the Grippo family
here in New York.
It's you.
You've been running
your father's operation.
[LAUGHS]
Not another word, Sonny,
or I swear to God,
I'll slap your fillings out.
I'm Billie Abbott,
Sonny Grippo's attorney.
It was his decision to
come in without an attorney.
He changed his mind.
Well, we're gonna
need to hear that from him.
Careful.
When my sister gets going,
nothing on God's green Earth
will shut her up.
So just save yourself some
grief and let her do her thing.
No handcuffs means
you haven't booked him
'cause you've got
nothing to charge him with.
And you're not going on some
fishing expedition in the hopes
that my brother incriminates
himself on a lesser charge,
so leave him the hell alone.
People are dead, including
two 16-year-old girls
who got on a tour bus
and never made it home
because your family started a gang war.
I understand you're
just doing your jobs,
and I genuinely hope you
find the person responsible.
Good luck.
But I am taking my client home.
Are you married, counselor?
No.
Then your last name, you changed it
to put some distance between you
and your father's reputation, right?
I live my whole life in fear of becoming
part of his collateral damage.
People I love are dead because of him.
I was at the crime scene
where they found your mother.
You were very young.
I'm so sorry.
So you know
it's not just my father's
name that was poisoned.
Can you really look at both of us
and tell us you have no idea
how violence
has continued in your father's name,
16 years after he left the country?
Listen to yourself.
Do you really think that
Jack Grippo would ever
willingly give up his throne?
Billie Abbott claims that
her father, Jack Grippo,
is still running the family's
operations from Cuba.
Well, Interpol doesn't have
much on his activities in Cuba.
Moves often, pays in U.S. cash,
which is untraceable.
Yeah, well, there has to be
a digital trail somewhere.
AUSA fast-tracked an electronic
search warrant for Sonny, so.
Uh, yeah, I'm combing
Sonny's internet history.
It turns out he's got
a burner email account,
nothing in the inbox or outbox,
but a few draft emails.
So what, he has anxiety
about hitting send?
Not exactly.
It isn't only Sonny's IP address
that logs into the account.
There are two.
The other one is in Cuba.
He's foldering.
It's a covert communication tactic.
Two users on one email account
send messages to each other
in drafts without ever sending.
- It's old school.
- Yeah, okay.
Okay, so this is how
Jack Grippo signaled his son
to hit the Solano drug shipment,
which caused the murders of seven folks,
including two innocent girls.
That's gotta be enough
to arrest Sonny, right?
When was their last correspondence?
Last night after the murders.
Timestamp on the last login
matches the sign-in from Cuba,
so it had to have been written by Jack.
"I'll deliver the flowers to
the wedding tomorrow myself."
Does that sound like Jack Grippo's
returning to U.S. soil?
He knows that he'd be risking capture.
If he's coming back,
it's for something big.
Right. So who's getting married?
How about two rival gangs?
The city's drug trade is roughly divided
into these territories.
If OC's intel is correct,
the Grippos have been
quietly taking back
their old neighborhoods.
They're in blue, Solanos green.
If the Grippos took over the Solanos
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
It would effectively double
the Grippos' territory.
Right, okay, so last night
was a warning shot.
Jack Grippo is coming
over here to negotiate
a Solano surrender, an arranged
marriage at best, right?
Well, Grippo has
taken over gangs before.
If they don't submit,
he will punish them
and their neighbors.
Innocent people are gonna die
unless we stop them.
I agree.
So do we start by
arresting Sonny Grippo?
No.
I have another idea.
♪
Hey.
So Scola confirmed the tracker
is in place on Sonny's vehicle.
He should lead us right to his father.
- You chased Jack before, right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I was part of the
joint task force that tried
to take Grippo down in '09.
We had him pinned
to a safe house in Queens.
He shot his way out, killing two agents,
including one of my instructors
from Quantico.
Right.
I don't know if Jack Grippo
is bold enough
to come back in town, but I hope he is.
And then he can watch with his own eyes
while I tear down his entire
organization for good.

Jubal, Sonny Grippo just

state troopers at all the rest.
Okay, coordinating now.

Jubal, we don't have Grippo.
He used a decoy.
♪
Hey, so we just questioned
Grippo's decoy with an interpreter
Cuban national, only speaks Spanish
says he does not know Grippo.
He was paid handsomely
in cash by a local guy
to take a flight to New Jersey.
And we searched the airport.
Sonny ditched his phone,
and he's in the wind.
So they led us to Teterboro,
knowing we'd be looking south,
while Grippo made his real
entrance from the north.
Yeah, and Marshal Service
Fugitive Task Force
just confirmed it, sent us video footage
of Grippo crossing the border
into the U.S. ten minutes
after Sonny arrived at Teterboro.
So we have nothing.
Grippo didn't make it to number three
on the Most Wanted list
without being slippery.
You know that.
Yeah, I just really
I really thought that we were
gonna get him this time.

You know, today, I hit my 20.
I thought maybe
What are you talking about?
That you'd be you'd be out?
[PHONE BUZZES]
Our friends from the FAA.
You know that decoy flight
that Grippo used?
We know who chartered it.
I can assure you, I had nothing to do
with booking any flight for my father.
Your name was on the charter,
including the Swiss wire
transfer that paid for it.
Check again.
You'll find I've never
accessed that account.
I've never even heard of it.
I'm sure my father borrowed my identity.
It wouldn't be the first time.
People are nothing but pawns to him.
Including your brother?
He was at the airport
when the jet landed.
He met with your father's decoy.
This does not look good for him.
Are you charging my client
with something?
Your brother is a person of interest
in a litany of violent crimes
associated with the Grippo family.
This does not end well for him.
My father is the real problem.
I want Jack Grippo behind bars
as much as you do.
Then please tell me where he is.
End this.

I would have a condition.
I want full immunity for my brother.
Well, I had a feeling
that you would say that,

Sonny will have full immunity

Good.
All right, Billie, so your job
is pretty straightforward here, okay?
Once your brother gets to your office,
you're trying to get him to talk
about where your dad's holed up.
And the FBI will use that
intel to nail Jack Grippo.
You seem pretty resolute.
[SIGHS] It feels fated.
Sonny'd never turn on our dad.
He worships the guy always
sided with him over me.
And still, I can't abandon my brother.
I guess loyalty is the family curse.
All right, looks good.
Ready?
Yeah.
All right, Billie, just remember,
keep him talking,
lean forward, draw him in.
You'll be fine.
If Sonny finds out
I'm wearing a wire,

- Okay.
We've got an agent
monitoring the situation
one floor above you,
and we are close by.

MTA spotted Sonny hopping off
the train a few minutes ago.
He should be here any second.
Where's your phone?
It's right here.
You've gotta be careful.
Dad's here.
Things are heating up,
and these Feds,
they're trying to follow me.
I know. The FBI called me.
Look, Sonny, I'm can't be
your lawyer anymore.
You need to find somebody who
can handle this kind of mess.

Let them try! Dad's not worried.

Well, they're not exactly
sharing intel with me,
but I think they know where Dad is.
Okay, okay, I hear you,
but if that's the case,
I gotta go warn him.
Billie, do not let him leave

Billie, you've got the location.
Wrap it up.

Caitlin Thomas

Now, the rapper's manager seems to think
the murders were fallout
from some very public rap beef.
I'm more of a yacht rock guy myself,
so someone might have to
help me out with that.
Well, embarrassed to admit,
but while everybody has been
obsessed with the
Drake/Kendrick Lamar feud,
I have been tracking
Turnkot's beef with Tariq Ward.
You know Tariq Ward,
Brooklyn-based rapper.
They had a very contentious
run-in on stage
at Rolling Loud, a hip-hop festival that
turned into a full-on war,
with both men dropping
brutal diss tracks every week.
You're familiar with diss tracks?
Now, be nice.
All right, so they were trading insults.
Is that really motive for murder?
Well, more than just insults.
Tariq accused Turnkot
of being a pedophile.
"High on his own supply
of high school hotties"
was the lyric,
so Turnkot threatened to put
a bullet in Tariq's ear.
At least then he'd have
an excuse to be tone deaf.
All right, well,
is there any reason to believe
these threats are
anything more than bluster?
Well, both Tariq and Turnkot
have rap sheets.
Their lyrics point to an
affiliation with rival gangs.
Tariq has a litany of weapons charges,
and he served 18 months
for aggravated assault
a few years back.
Yeah, Jubal,

Locally, they've cornered
the market on pink cocaine.
Okay, this is the the drug
that the One Direction singer
- was on when he died, right?

It doesn't actually have cocaine in it.
Usually, it's a mixture of

operations from Cuba.
Well, Interpol doesn't have

Moves often, pays in U.S. cash,
which is untraceable.

a burner email account,
nothing in the inbox or outbox,
but a few draft emails.
So what, he has anxiety
about hitting send?
Not exactly.
It isn't only Sonny's IP address
that logs into the account.
There are two.
The other one is in Cuba.
He's foldering.
It's a covert communication tactic.
Two users on one email account
send messages to each other
in drafts without ever sending.
- It's old school.
- Yeah, okay.
Okay, so this is how
Jack Grippo signaled his son
to hit the Solano drug shipment,
which caused the murders of seven folks,
including two innocent girls.
That's gotta be enough
to arrest Sonny, right?
When was their last correspondence?
Last night after the murders.
Timestamp on the last login
matches the sign-in from Cuba,
so it had to have been written by Jack.
"I'll deliver the flowers to
the wedding tomorrow myself."
Does that sound like Jack Grippo's
returning to U.S. soil?
He knows that he'd be risking capture.
If he's coming back,
it's for something big.
Right. So who's getting married?
How about two rival gangs?
The city's drug trade is roughly divided
into these territories.
If OC's intel is correct,

Jubal, we don't have Grippo.
He used a decoy.

Hey, so we just questioned
Grippo's decoy with an interpreter
Cuban national, only speaks Spanish
says he does not know Grippo.
He was paid handsomely
in cash by a local guy
to take a flight to New Jersey.
And we searched the airport.
Sonny ditched his phone,
and he's in the wind.
So they led us to Teterboro,
knowing we'd be looking south,
while Grippo made his real
entrance from the north.
Yeah, and Marshal Service
Fugitive Task Force
just confirmed it, sent us video footage
of Grippo crossing the border
into the U.S. ten minutes
after Sonny arrived at Teterboro.
So we have nothing.
Grippo didn't make it to number three
on the Most Wanted list
without being slippery.
You know that.

You know that decoy flight
that Grippo used?
We know who chartered it.
I can assure you, I had nothing to do
with booking any flight for my father.
Your name was on the charter,
including the Swiss wire
transfer that paid for it.
Check again.
You'll find I've never
accessed that account.
I've never even heard of it.
I'm sure my father borrowed my identity.
It wouldn't be the first time.
People are nothing but pawns to him.
Including your brother?
He was at the airport
when the jet landed.
He met with your father's decoy.
This does not look good for him.
Are you charging my client
with something?
Your brother is a person of interest
in a litany of violent crimes
associated with the Grippo family.
This does not end well for him.
My father is the real problem.
I want Jack Grippo behind bars

Good.
All right, Billie, so your job
is pretty straightforward here, okay?
Once your brother gets to your office,
