I think people overuse certain words a lot.

I think people overuse that sentence a lot, but this really is my masterpiece.

Like, it's what they'd remember me by if it wasn't a piece of top -secret

stealth tech.

You tested it?

It works perfectly.

Tested it myself.

Knew we got the right guy for the job.

It wasn't easy.

If you paid my firm to design this, it'd cost you way more.

You trying to renegotiate?

be agreed on a price well that was before i'm thinking

whatever you guys need this for must be important and i don't need

to know but it's worth more how much double

We good?

Oh yeah.

You drive a hard bargain, Tucker.

Oh, is that for me? Mm -hmm. You are a hero. Thank you. Mm -hmm.

Wearing your wedding band.

Hmm. It's a bit forward after two months on the couch, don't you think?

It's for work. This guy I'm meeting with thinks that... Oh, a confidential

informant. Right, yeah.

Who thinks we're still married.

Yeah.

Consistency. It's one of the secrets to the CI game.

You don't actually have to be their friend, but it helps if you're the same

every time you see him.

Well, it's a nice ring.

Girl, I picked it out. It was great tasting.

So, this works thing.

What's the threat level?

Threat level, zero.

I promise.

Good.

Sort of like having you around.

Sort of, huh?

Hey, man, I'm just seeing if you're still coming.

Let me call either way. Thanks.

Excuse me.

Can I get a refill, please? Thank you.

Where's your friend?

The professor?

Uh, the professor?

Yeah, I don't know. He just looks like some kind of genius to me.

Well, looks like the genius one has stood me up.

Uh, you know what? I'm actually going to grab the check from you. That's all

right. Yeah, you got it. Thank you.

Hey, what's up, boss?

Hey, uh, so I had a scheduled check -in with one of my CIs this morning, and he

didn't show.

That's weird.

Well, actually, it is, because he's never missed a meeting. So I need you to

a trace for me.

Uh, do what?

Ian, I can hear the look on your face. It's fine. This guy's a working CI.

Let's pull his file. His last name is E -L -L -A -H -I -E. His cell number

should be in there.

Got him.

Running a trace.

He pinged in Kensington, 523 Friel Place.

Yeah, that's his place.

I'm 45 minutes out from that location.

O .A. and Maggie can be there in 10.

All right, send them.

Signs of a struggle.

Door's unlocked.

Hit it.

Upstairs is clear, Maggie.

Mahim's not here.

Well, his phone is.

Who leaves their house without their phone? Somebody doesn't want to be

by us.

Get up.

I can't. I messed my light up. Get up.

Come on.

What's your name?

Adil. Where's Fahim Alahi?

Who? Fahim Alahi. Where is he?

They took him. Who took him?

Some guy showed up in an SUV this morning and dragged him out.

You seem really worried about him.

You play with fire, you get burned.

How do you know Fahim?

He moved money.

He got it stashed all over the city.

After Fahim got grabbed up, I just thought maybe I'd take a look, but I

do anything, I swear.

Too late for that. Let's go. Come on, bro, I'm injured.

You'll live.

And I helped you. You're still under arrest.

Have we confirmed this kid's rumor that Fahim was abducted around 8 a .m. this

morning? I'm still searching for the SUV that grabbed him, allegedly, because

they were careful to avoid street cameras.

You buy this kid's story?

I mean, there's a long list of very dangerous people Fahim has been

money for for the past 20 years. If someone found out he's been informing,

it tracks that they could get heavy.

All right, let's talk about these dangerous people.

Where's my DEA rep?

Jordan, what are y 'all thinking?

Fahim's still laundering money for the Balochi gang. He's one of them. DEA can

confirm that.

They've evolved since you put their top lieutenants away. Well, I'm sure. And by

the way, we would not have been able to put them away without Fahim's help.

They're a multinational drug trafficking ring.

Sophisticated. They ship heroin into the U .S. Profits go back to Pakistan to

fund their activities, yeah?

Extensive poppy farms in a northwest frontier province for the cultivation of

heroin. They use the cash to pay for murders and political bribes. Do we have

any surveillance up in their locations?

Yeah. Got activity on one of them.

Delhi and Kensington.

Could be a front.

It is the front.

That's Urdu. Can you translate it?

Wait, did he say Fahim?

Yeah, they are asking each other where Fahim is. None of them have seen him

today.

Right. All right, so if he was grabbed, probably wasn't by them.

Keep looking.

Hey, Sam, kind of in the middle of something. What's up?

Hey, your friend is here.

My friend? Who's that?

He says his name's Fahim.

He's in the house?

At the dining table.

He says he needs to talk to you. What should I do?

It's okay. Just stay calm. I'll be right there.

You have a very beautiful home. Oh, that's really sweet. Sam, get behind me.

Home. My friend. What are you doing here?

There is no need for that.

This is my home.

Yes, I just need to talk to you.

Turn around.

This is crossing a line, okay?

You do not come to my home.

I didn't intend to put your family at risk, but there are too many eyes in the

city, and this intel was too important.

If I had any other choice... What intel?

There is an attack planned soon.

People will die.

You need to hear about it before it's too late.

Please, in 18 years, I've not had information that can save this many

Yeah, sure, Fahim.

We can talk about it, but not here.

Please, we should do this at your office.

Oh no, we're going to 26 Fed.

Let's go. Fuck.

This will not happen again.

So, tell me about this, uh, impending attack.

I, uh...

Remember this room being smaller.

This is not a social visit.

You said something's coming, right? 18 years of friendship, and I must prove

myself. Time to cut to the part where you tell me what the hell is going on.

Because you skipped our meeting this morning, and you left your phone at your

house. So why don't you start with where you were this morning at 8 a .m.? I was

collecting information for you, and I didn't want to be tracked.

An attack is imminent.

Attacked by whom?

Men I know from Pakistan.

These are men you take seriously.

They want to kill Americans here in New York, Boston, Philadelphia.

Really?

I have information on the methods and timing of this attack.

But I need something from you before I share what I know.

My brother Danish, he has suffered 18 years in prison.

You're... Half -brother sold felony weed heroin to an undercover cop. He would

have gotten life back home. But we're not home.

We are in America where anything is possible.

I want my brother released.

We don't negotiate for information.

Is that so?

I am only free because I gave you those names so many years ago. The federal

government most certainly does negotiate.

I know that better than most.

You're telling me there's a significant terror attack coming.

And this is the game you want to play?

I am not playing games.

But I am old.

I'll think about it.

Hey, what's up?

I think he's lying to you.

This morning it doesn't look like he was chasing down a lead.

Check this out.

This is a doorbell cam at the neighbor's house across the street.

These are the guys that nabbed Fahim.

What if you're negotiating with them?

Best case scenario, Fahim is being coerced to use a proxy for these guys to

what they want.

In the worst case scenario... You're being played.

Many of these guys are just other members of his gang, and this is just an

employee to get his brother released.

He's never lied to me before.

This is the first time for everything.

Well, the counterterrorism desk hasn't heard any chatter about the Bellacci

plotting anything local.

No.

He hasn't mentioned the kidnapping.

Why?

I've sent a dozen narco -traffickers to prison on his intel, and his crew never

knew he was informing.

He's smart, and he's careful.

I'd still buy that he would make this play if he wasn't sitting on something

big. Right. Well, if he was lying... We would jam him up on false statement

charges, and he can share a cell with his brother.

I do not like someone crying wolf about terrorism in my backyard.

Isabel, do you really want counterterrorism to take over this

I want to get to the bottom of this.

So do I, and I will. I don't know what the hell's going on right now, but I'll

use this, and I'll find out.

Okay, in the meantime, I want you guys to ID and locate these guys. I'd love to

hear their side of the story.

What are we missing? This is the first time Fahim has even hinted at making a

deal for his brother's release. Why now?

He served most of his time, right?

Well, according to the Bureau of Prisons, his brother Adonis is being

transferred today from FBI Slate Hill to the WITSEC block of FBI Otisville.

He provided information on gang activity inside, and it's no longer safe for him

there. Huh. Well, interesting timing that a terror threat materializes right

when his brother was being transferred upstate, but...

I don't know, but it's strange that he didn't mention it.

Yeah, well, that appears to be a theme.

It's a lot Fahim isn't mentioning.

Given how much he's withholding, do we even take this threat seriously?

No, he knows we'll verify his intel as a condition of any deal. We have to

assume that this attack is real.

Give me ten pages of blank paper.

Am I to guess what's inside?

The AUSA will get your brother's case in front of a federal judge.

Strict parole, nightly check -ins, but only if you get real with me.

Right here, right now.

So you can get my brother released?

If this attack is as significant as you say it is, and you have intel that can

help us prevent it, then yes, I can.

So, where were you this morning at 8 a .m.?

Ahmed Khan.

Ahmed Khan. The heroin kingpin.

What, he's planning the attack?

There is a ship on the water, as you and I speak.

Loaded with Khan's heroin under false floors in evergreen containers.

It's on its way here, right now.

It is. To the port in Bayon.

It has almost arrived.

The drugs are bad.

Tainted. It is poison.

Ahmed Khan has no care for money.

He wants these streets to bleed.

Okay, that is significant.

How long have you known about this?

Whispers were all I heard before yesterday.

Yesterday. Okay, so this morning when we were supposed to meet.

I skipped breakfast, yes, to gather everything I could. The name of the

the container numbers.

You want to know where I was? That's where.

Keeping our children safe.

I am giving you Ahmed Khan on a platter. You're not giving me anything. You're

trading information for your brother. And I don't know, man.

For some reason, I'm having real trouble here, believing anything you say.

Last chance.

Where were you this morning, 8 a .m.? What does it matter what I was? I need

know what's going on.

Or there's no way I'm going to get you this deal.

You're still wearing your ring.

Your wife doesn't.

Trouble on the home front. The stress of your job, it must be hard on any

marriage. On your wife, Sam.

What are you doing? Leave my family out of this. It's not that.

It's that you've not been honest.

How long have you been separated?

That's not how this works. I don't owe you that. May I then review the file?

Sure, after I verify your intel.

I need to know you're not playing me.

How did you put it 18 years ago?

This only works if we're completely honest.

And I am beginning to doubt your honesty while lives hang in the balance.

Really, man? You're doubting my honesty?

I've given you plenty of chances to be honest about what happened this morning.

Now, tell me who these men are snapping you up like a rag doll.

Where are we with IDing the assailant's SUV?

Well, the plates are stolen. Come back to an Altima in Suffolk County.

Okay, cross -reference that SUV with any vehicle reported stolen matching that

physical description.

Already on it, but I'm not seeing anything that lines up.

I may have something.

And the driver rips the easy path off.

But it's too late. It already pinged on the way to this location. That account

belongs to Tucker Kincaid, owner of the SUV.

Kincaid's a cybersecurity engineer.

All right, what can we get off of this toll count?

I can track it through any highway toll.

This is 820 this morning.

And Fahim is inside, we can assume.

Yeah, highway traffic cams follow it to an exit in Great Neck, and then street

cams pick it up on a residential street.

Then we lose visual.

Where does Kincaid live?

The street the SUV was last seen turning on.

We have our first person of interest, Tucker Kincaid. He is involved somehow.

Get the team there now.

Clear up here.

Away.

Rope and duct tape. The team could have been held here.

Yeah.

Reach.

We got a body.

We got a body!

Is it?

Yeah.

It's Tucker Kincaid.

Don't move.

What was that?

I heard it too.

Sounds like a pressure switch.

I got a wire.

Okay. Damn.

Stay where you are.

I'm going to back up very slowly.

Hey, hey, don't come any closer.

We have a spring -loaded IED.

Everybody fall back, I repeat.

Everybody fall back.

Wait, what do I do?

Don't move.

Stay calm.

Okay, okay.

Okay.

I'm king.

Place this down right where you are.

Move your foot nice and easy.

Nice and easy.

Okay? Okay.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Three, two, one, go.

Ahem.

Who are these men?

You have no idea what I've done for you.

The lengths I've gone to. Please, no one held a gun to your head and made you

launder money for drug dealing. You used me. We used each other. That's how this

is supposed to go. It's mutual benefit.

My friends, my family, they knew someone was talking to the police.

I watched my friends and family go to prison. The children calling me uncle

it was me. It was me who was tearing their homes apart.

It's my speech.

Who are the men in the SUV?

A source of information.

I need more.

It doesn't matter.

Deal's off.

Stop. Stop. Stop!

Here.

I am the only one with this information.

They will know it came from me.

But go ahead.

verify my intelligence.

I just need you to help my brother.

If this isn't what you say it is, if these lies continue, you will be going

prison.

Maggie. Yeah.

Cart found some files on Tucker's computer.

He's been developing spyware for the Department of Defense and has the

possible security clearance.

So you think Tucker was murdered for this tech?

That's what I'm thinking.

This isn't adding up.

They kill Tucker and then they use his SUV to kidnap Fahim and bring him right

back here.

What does Fahim have to do with this? What's his part?

That's a good question.

I'm using an air gap laptop, meaning it's completely isolated from our

I modded it with military -grade encryption, secure boot systems, and

-resistant hardware.

Can you just tell us what you find? Yeah.

Manifests for a container ship en route from Morocco to the Port Liberty Bayon

Terminal. Carrying Ahmed Khan's contraband.

Fahim was telling the truth.

I'd say so.

2 ,000 kilos of tainted heroin.

If that hits the streets.

What?

What? What is that?

Wait a second.

Ian, what is happening?

Guys, I am looking at some of the nastiest code I have ever seen hiding in

subfolders. Nasty how? This is a cyber weapon.

I've never seen anything like this before.

If you plug this device into any other computer in this building, the software

will infect our system bureau -wide.

Which would do what?

Give whoever designed it complete access to every device in this building. They

would have eyes and ears on...

Everything we did or said.

So all of this intel, it was just a cover story.

This is a cyber attack.

Nice try, you son of a bitch.

I don't know what you're talking about. You're going to tell me you don't know

what's on that thing? No, I don't. I swear it. That's the truth.

Yes, they took me this morning. Who took you? Those men. You have it on video.

I don't know who they are or how they found me, but they know who I am. They

know I'm your informant.

They knew about my brother's case.

They promised they would kill him today during the transfer unless I downloaded

that into this building.

I don't know what it is.

I didn't want to know.

I tried to free my brother without doing what they wanted.

That's all I cared about.

But I failed.

So there's no attack, there's no shipment of tainted drugs?

No. The file on there is meant to verify my information.

I'm sorry, I...

I had no choice. You have no idea, no inkling, who these people are? No.

But if that file is not downloaded into this building by 3 p .m., they will kill

my brother.

Will you save him?

I've done everything you've asked of me for years.

Jubal, we are friends.

We're not friends, Fahim.

You're my CI.

I have done things no CI would do.

Do you remember 2012?

You were hunting Hatan Ghazi.

Kill it.

Is that kosher?

Joe was one of the best field agents I ever saw. He worked major cases with

guy. He's gotten us this close to the truth. We have to trust that he will get

us all the way there.

You don't mind us being off the record?

I do not. Do you?

I was washing money, Berkham.

He was careful.

Never in the same room with the money, never in the same room with the product.

I wasn't my best then.

You know that.

You could have had him before he vanished back to Morocco.

But when you arrived for the buy, you could barely stand, slurring your

You would have gotten us killed.

So this is what? This is leverage?

Then I bottomed out.

I got help.

The Bureau knows.

Number four on the FBI's most wanted list.

and your informant had to call off the meet.

No, that's not what happened. The guy never showed up.

No.

I took you to a different location to sober up.

I drove you home.

You were in tears in your driveway.

You said you had to change.

I took a taxi back to the city.

You are my friend.

Will you help my brother?

Hey, can someone throw up the route they're using to transfer Donna Salahi

today? Yep.

Be moved from FCI Slate Hill to FCI Otisville.

Okay. Hey, uh, so...

Fahim's brother is being transferred from one prison to another today.

Fahim claims that the guys that grabbed him this morning are planning to

assassinate Danish somewhere along this route.

I was thinking, just to be safe, I could call MDC, call the convoy.

You want to help Fahim after all the lies he told?

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you. I'll make the call.

Jubal. Yeah. Wait.

This terror group.

They tried to cripple the FBI.

What do we know about them?

Well, not much, but we're working on it. We do know one thing.

Of course.

We know where they're headed next.

We're not going to stop this convoy. We're going to use it to draw them out.

Yes, ma 'am.

These people want to hurt us. Let's show them what we're made of.

I got to admit, I don't love this plan.

Isabel's idea.

Actually, I'm kind of into it.

We got your six.

Yeah.

Hey, ready for this?

I'm doing the lines, Dan.

Marshall's van should be on the move by now. They just departed.

Donna Salahi's on board. No deviations in the plan.

All right, Maggie and OA?

They're the tail car.

Good. All right, the route is 90 miles. An attack could come at any moment. Stay

vigilant. No mistakes.

Why are you riding with us today?

It's a high -value prisoner, that's all.

So they say.

Hey, I've got four propane tanks.

There's a possible IED.

It's a delivery.

Think they're going to go?

No idea, but they're not accounting for the three of us. So if they do, we're

ready. Yeah.

Uh, Maggie, I got a bogey on the roof with a possible rifle.

Not a threat.

Nothing.

Hey, trunk open ahead.

Nothing.

Are you tracking the gray SUV behind us? It's been tailing us for a while.

Gray SUV behind us with the marshals at another vehicle. Windows are tinted. I

got no visual on the driver.

Plate is 8UI2X75.

Running the plate.

Keep your eyes on that.

That SUV coming up behind you is a registered rental.

Stay alert.

What is that?

Hey, Kelly, what's going on up ahead?

I think I see smoke.

Okay, looks like a burgundy torrent stalled out. One block up on Atlantic.

Yeah, it's blocking our route.

How do you want to proceed?

Definitely take the detour. What's the route?

Take this left up ahead.

All right, we're going to take a detour, guys. Take a left right here.

Do not like this plan.

What's the holdup? It's just a school bus blocking the intersection up ahead.

Hey, guys, get this bus moving.

Ambush! Ambush! Get down! Get down!

Go shoot it to the bus. It took out our lead marshal. Maggie, away!

Back out!

What's going on?

We got a sniper on the roof at 10 o 'clock.

Sniper!

Get down!

Talk to me! What's happening out there?

the shooter.

Cover it.

What is it?

What? Is that gasoline?

No, no, no, no. We're smelling gasoline back here. They hit the gas tank. We're

going to burn to death. Silly. We need to redoubt. I repeat, we need to

Got it. Jubal, there's a gray door, 7 o 'clock, 50 feet from your position. Do

you copy?

I see it.

Give me the keys to a shop. What do you mean?

You know this whole thing's gonna blow in a minute. Give me the damn keys! Give

me the keys!

All right, listen up.

We got a gray door, 7 o 'clock.

11 o 'clock should be a sniper. You cover us. You get that door open. O .A.,

we're about to come out. I need you to cover us. Copy that. On the count of

three. One, two, three.

Go.

Stay with me.

Go, go, go, go, go.

All right, we're good. Stay here.

All right, Isabel, we're securing the strong point with the prisoner. What's

status outside?

SWAT is inbound. Be careful. Whoever these people are, they are motivated and

well -resourced.

Maggie, what's your sit rep? You need help?

She's down.

Sniper's down, too. Roof's clear.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

You need to lower your gun right now.

Bro, you're gonna kill this guy we're out here protecting?

We're all traitors.

We're not afraid to do what needs to be done.

What?

I'm not with him.

Help him.

Isabel, we have a situation. Come on, man. Come on, come on. We've got to

breathe. Our prisoner's been shot. One of the marshals. We need a medic in here

now.

Is he all right?

Yeah. How you doing, bud?

All right. It's okay. He got you in the vest.

You're going to be all right.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look at me. Breathe.

Breathe.

You're going to be all right. Help's on the way. All right? Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

There were five shooters total.

The gunman's fingerprints also placed them at Tucker Kincaid's murder. This

their off in the beginning.

They're a new crew.

They all had the same tattoo as the marshal that you took down, Nordic Rune.

So we put them through the database.

They're extremists that call themselves Forefront.

Anti -government, organized, clearly ambitious.

Plus we know they had help from inside law enforcement.

What's the story with the marshal?

We don't know much, but we're looking into it.

On paper he appears to be an exemplary officer.

Obviously he was something else.

So what, today is the day Forefront just came out of the shadows?

And declared war on the FBI.

Well, they declared war, but they lost.

I need a comprehensive report on your investigation from the moment you

your CI missing.

The case will be handled by the domestic terror branch within 26 Fed.

Okay.

Jubal.

Nice work.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I mean, they got pretty close to getting that virus into our system.

We ruined everything, all the work we do here. Hey, we got him.

Yeah, we did.

Team effort.

Oh, I want to say thanks for cutting the feed.

I appreciate that.

So, your brother's okay.

He's safe, and once he gets out of the hospital, he'll be transferred.

I need you to know, I didn't want to put you in that position.

To use what I know. I know.

I do.

Will you and I continue to work together?

Does that mean will I be prosecuted?

He'll get a new FBI handler.

You're about to meet him.

A new handler?

Sometimes relationships run their course.

For what it's worth, thank you.

All yours.

See the kids off.

Yeah, no problem.

Is everything... Yeah, yeah.

Everything's safe.

Good.

This morning was fair to you.

That did not feel like threat level zero.

I just never thought that...

I guess I should probably, uh... Move out?

Yeah, you know.

That was my first thought, too.

I mean, you know, after you entered this house with your gun out. Yeah, well, I

guess we can decide how to tell the kids tomorrow.

You didn't let me finish.

Yeah, that was my first thought.

But then I realized that since you moved back in, you've been

different.

Present. You really show up for the kids.

For me.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I ruined it. Oh, no, see, that's the old jubile. You're stuck in

head.

Everything's a tragedy.

But it's not, and you're not listening to me.

To what I'm saying.

Oh, sorry.

What do you want?
