What,

government-issue coffee
isn't good enough for you?

Correct.

You know, just because
something costs more

doesn't make it good.

Correct once again.

I still don't understand
this day-trading madness

I keep hearing about.

I mean, one minute,
the stock goes up 200%

in a week for no reason.

Then it falls 75%
ten minutes later.

It makes no sense.

Actually, it does.

Ridiculous, but it makes sense.

There's more
buyers than sellers,

stock goes up.

More sellers than
buyers, stock goes down.

Market might be crazy,
but it's always logical.

Look at you, getting
your little Wall Street on.

Just trying to help.

What made you quit, anyway?

Got tired of making
all that money?

I got tired of the whole thing.

It's a weird job...

No product, no bigger picture,

no higher calling.

Making money.

That's literally the
only score card.

- And that wasn't exciting?
- For a minute, maybe.

But after a while, I got bored,

wanted to do something
more interesting,

something that actually
makes a difference.

You know, only rich people
get to think like that, right?

No.

Just another government worker

who splurges on
expensive coffee.

That's all.

Mr. Davis!

You're a disgrace, Davis!

You played us like
a bunch of fools!

Mr. Davis, why did you
shut down your trading app?

Why did you prevent
the purchase of Kix stock?

Are you trying to drive
down the price of Kix?

I was forced to
halt the purchase

of Kix Bio common stock

due to certain
financial requirements

imposed by the SEC and NASD.

It wasn't by choice.

We're doing everything we can
to reopen our trading platform

as soon as possible.

Do you consider
yourself a trader?

You're a fraud! The guy
is a Wall Street shark!

He's just pretending
to help the little guy.

That's right!

But if we remain
united and strong,

we will always have
the power, okay?

Not them. So keep buying Kix.

Keep promoting the dream
because he cannot defeat us.

You cannot defeat us!

I started this company

to level the financial
playing field,

to give regular people
the same opportunities

as the Wall Street elite...

Hey, Alex.

Yeah. No, no. Of course not.

I was actually hoping I
could stop by after work,

if that's all right with you.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah. Just tell him I love him.

All right. Bye.

- How's Tyler?
- Yeah.

He just had his
first treatment, so...

- How's he doing?
- Yeah, he’s you know what?

Shall we?

All right, y'all, check it out.

So Tim Davis, CEO of the
brokerage firm Regular Joe,

was just shot and killed
from what looks like

a pretty good distance
in front of the SEC.

So we need to start pulling
video and digging deeper

into our victim, his
family, his finances.

Who would want
to kill Tim Davis?

The Wall Street elite
he was railing against

or the regular people
who felt betrayed

when he shut down his
app in the middle of this

so-called financial revolution?

Now, if you're like me,
you read the headlines,

you watch the news,

and yet you still just
don't really understand it,

so to remedy that hopefully...

We have our very
own Agent Scola.

For those of you who are unaware

of Stuart's impressive bio,

he graced the halls of
Goldman Sachs for seven years

before joining the FBI,

so it's likely he actually
understands this stuff.

Stu?

So much for keeping my
Wall Street past on the DL.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

So best I can tell, there is
a large group of left-leaning,

chatroom-obsessed day traders

targeting hedge funds
with large short positions.

It's a fancy term for betting a
stock price goes down, not up.

They do most of their
buying on Robin hood,

Regular Joe, and few other

for-the-people-type
trading platforms.

Now, Game Stop
was the first example.

Most recent one
involves Kix Bio,

a company working on cures
for various types of cancer.

Stock's been going up like
a rocket the past few weeks.

Then yesterday, the CEO
of Regular Joe, Tim Davis,

shuts the app down.

Kix Bio stock
plummeted 75%, kay?

Regular Joe customers
lost a lot of money.

They think that Davis sold them
out to the Wall Street fat cats

to help cover their
short positions.

Best I can do, folks.

No, that was great.
That was great.

I think I kind of understand it.

Let's go to work, people.

- Thank you, Stuey.
- Yep.

- It's been 25 minutes.
- We're doing the best we can.

Really? This is your best?

No wonder people
don't like cops.

- What did you say?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Relax. I'm Special Agent Bell.

This is Special Agent Zidan.

We're taking over
the investigation now.

It's going to be quick and easy.

We just need to know if
anybody has seen anything.

None of us saw a thing,
okay? Can we go now,

or are you going to keep
treating us like criminals?

Why don't you calm down, buddy?

We are investigating a murder.

We apologize for
the inconvenience,

but we do have a job,

and no one is treating
you like a criminal.

I can promise you that.

The only reason why
you're being detained

is because we need to know
if you saw anything suspicious.

We've already been
through all this with the police.

They didn't seem to believe us,

probably because
we're activists.

- Yeah!
- Yeah, that's right!

You guys tend to hate it when
the people dare to speak up.

- The people?
- Yeah, regular people.

Like you?

You're Nathan Gold,
aren't you? CEO of Kix.

Last time I checked
Forbes, you were worth, what,

$2 billion?

Yeah, my net worth
is meaningless.

My only objective
is to save lives,

make the world a better place.

So that's why you were
down here yelling at Davis,

because you were just trying
to make the world a better place.

I'm sure it had nothing to do
with the fact that your stocks

went down 75% the other day.

I was here to show my support
to my fellow stockholders

and to let Davis
know he didn't fool us.

- Whoo!
- Yeah!

We know what he's doing.

You can't fool the
people, not anymore.

- Nope.
- Whoo!

And if a phony like
Tim Davis has to die

to spread the gospel, then...

- You really believe that?
- I do.

- Whoo!
- Yeah!

If anybody remembers
anything of interest,

please call the FBI tip line.

Thank you.

This guy really worth 2 billion?

On paper.

I,

I can't believe that he's dead,

that someone shot him.

I haven't even
told the kids yet.

I'm so sorry.

We do need to ask you
a few questions though,

if that's okay.

Have there been
any recent threats?

Yeah. Hundreds.

We shut down all our
social media accounts.

It's been crazy.

People just started
attacking Tim,

calling him a traitor, a Judas.

Tim hated Wall Street.

He knew the game was rigged,

that regular folks didn't
have the same opportunities.

And other than the
social media stuff,

have there been any
actual confrontations,

anyone following
you, stalking you?

Yesterday, some guy verbally
confronted us near the house,

started swearing at Tim,

and he got real close to us.

It was scary.

Tim pushed him away, hard.

Then he grabbed my
hand. We hurried inside.

Do you have any surveillance
cameras here facing the street?

Ian, can you push
in, get a better shot?

Running it through
facial rec now.

No hits.

But this guy was at
the crime scene, too.

I was just scanning
photos of the protesters

that NYPD took
before the shooting.

He's right there with
the other protesters,

chanting and yelling 12
minutes before Davis was killed.

But check it out. He's
not in the next photo,

timestamped seven
minutes before the shooting

or the one after that,
three minutes before.

So maybe he left to find
a better vantage point.

Yeah. That timing works.

He walks for two
or three minutes,

sets up his rifle.

Let's get a name,
folks, on social media.

Let's dig into those
Wall Street chat rooms.

It's likely this chap likes
to spew his opinions.

Got something.

Profile picture of a guy
named WallStreetWolf789

is a match to the guy
who confronted Davis.

Made a few inflammatory
posts about Davis too...

Last one at 7:45 a.m.

"Going down to watch Davis
die on the steps of the SEC."

All right. Get an IP address.

Whoever this guy
is, bring him in.

Yeah.

Okay. What's this about?

Your friend, Tim Davis.

- What we weren't friends.
- We only met once.

We know. We saw the video.

And we also saw
your post this morning

saying you were heading down
to the SEC to watch Davis die.

- So?
- So he died this morning

outside of the SEC.

I was just being, you know,
outrageous, hyperbolic,

just trying to get
people fired up.

Well, it worked.
Somebody shot Davis.

You already know that,
though, 'cause you were there.

- I you’re right.
- I was because he screwed us.

He shut down his app

just before the stock was
going to really take off,

so I wanted to know why.

What was his motive?

To bail out all the hedge funds?

To give them a chance
to cover their shorts?

Okay, well, given the fact
that you accosted the victim

and his wife a day
prior to the shooting...

And you literally said
you were going down

to the SEC to watch Davis die.

I meant it metaphorically.

I was going down there
to watch his career die

because he was outed as a poser.

Look, I'm a day
trader and a blogger.

I'm not a killer.

Well, we'd love to
take your word for it,

but that's not how this works.

Wait, I can prove it. I
recorded the whole thing,

and when I did, the
gunshot went off.

You can hear it on my phone.

All right, so this is a phone
video from Paul Winters,

aka the Wall Street
Wolf. Let's take a look.

To give regular people
the same opportunities

as the Wall Street elite...

Yeah, let's work
the angles here, Ian.

Maybe it'll help us find
the location of the sniper.

I like the way you're thinking.

All right, it looks like

when the shot rang out,
everyone turned northwest.

Okay.

Let's run with that. Shift
focus to the northwest.

Can you pull video from
cameras on this street here?

On it.

The witnesses initially reported

the shot came from the west.

Right, right, and
that's consistent

with the entry point
of the bullet, correct?

Yes, but I think we've
been looking at this wrong.

Just before Davis was
shot, he turns to his right,

which would create the
same entry point if he was,

in fact, shot from
a vantage point

that was more northwest,

consistent with these head
turns from the protesters.

He's right. Check it out.

That looks like a
sniper rifle to me.

Yeah. Keep rolling.

Plates.

Running it.

Got it.

Okay, what do we
know about Mr. Plank?

Spent six years in the army.

According to his
social media profile,

he's a proud member
of Occupy Wall Street

and the Socialist
Revolutionaries.

Okay, so we know
the name of the shooter

and his political affiliations.

All that's left is to
find the actual person.

Let's go!

Get an address
and bring this man in.

Elliot Plank, FBI!

Federal agent!

- Hey, put your hands up.
- Get against the wall now.

We're on the move.

- What the hell is going on?
- What are you doing here?

- All clear.
- Sam-12, we have house secure.

- Where's your husband?
- I don't know.

When's the last
time you saw him?

Last night. He was upset.

Then he he just took off.

Why? What happened?

He lost a lot of money

trading in and out of
that stupid company, Kix.

Put all of our
savings into the stock,

then got locked out of
his account or the app

or whatever the hell
you call it, Regular Joe.

It shut down for some reason,
and the stock went way down,

and Elliot, he just got
in his truck and drove off,

didn't say where he
was going, just left.

Did he take anything with him?

Guns.

I just checked the
closet in his office

and saw that they were
missing, three of them, I think.

Set up a loose perimeter in
case he decides to come back.

- Copy that.
- Did he say why

- he needed the guns?
- No.

But he was angry,

said that he got screwed,
that people were betraying him.

We just need to
take a look around.

Got someone you can call

that can meet you
down at the station?

Probably not big
enough to hold...

Go right ahead.

All officers, stand by.

OA, come here.

He sent this message to
someone in a chat room last night.

"Ain't just Davis, more
wolves in socialist clothing.

All of them must die."

He's not done killing.

Click this.

That's over in Hell's Kitchen.

We know that address.

FBI, open up!

Yes? What's going on now?

- We believe you're in danger.
- What are you talking about?

Is it okay if we talk inside?

Yeah.

So I'm confused.
Why am I in danger?

We think the man who shot
Davis might be gunning for you.

Well, that makes
absolutely no sense.

Yeah. Well, I saw it in his DMs.

He thinks you're
manipulating your followers,

talking up the stock like
you believe in the cause,

persuading people to buy

and then selling before
the bottom falls out.

He referred to you as a
wolf in socialist's clothing.

Okay. So I'll pack a bag...

- Go to a room with no windows.
- Lock the door and don't move.

Understand me?

This is Special
Agent Tiffany Wallace.

We have an active
shooter at our location,

requesting backup immediately.

Stop!

Get out of the way!

Let's split up.

On your stomach now!

Elliot Plank,
you're under arrest

for the murder of Tim Davis.

Hey. Good work.

- Heard you kicked his ass.
- I did okay.

He was strong, though.

And he had a good left for a
stock-trading socialist anyway.

So this guy was really trying

to shoot this Wall
Street Wolf idiot?

Yeah, thought the wolf was
manipulating the uninformed,

which, by the way, he is.

Fire up these chat room types,
get them to invest on emotion,

watch the stock
go up, then sell.

Wow, does this Nathan Gold guy

ever get tired of
talking to the camera?

Nope, because every
time he does, stock goes up.

Greater fool theory.

Just keep convincing
the next guy

that it's actually
worth more than it is.

This guy is no different.

He's just another
carnival barker

preying on passion
and ignorance.

Okay, but how sure are you
that Nathan Gold's company

won't be able to do
what he says it will?

I don't know. I'm
not a scientist...

But this guy is definitely

trying to manipulate
the stock price.

Yeah. Yeah.

I know that he's going
through a lot with his son.

I'm just trying to
shoot it to him straight.

When I was demonstrating
had anything to do

with what you saw happen today,

and while I obviously don't
condone murder or violence,

I do admire people who stand
up for what they believe in,

who are willing to take action

in service of their principles.

Listen, the moneyed elite,

the 1% need to understand
that times have changed.

Wall Street no longer
controls the narrative.

The people do,

and their voices, our voices,

will not be silenced.

Where you going?

Nathan, you got a minute?

Special Agent Stuart Scola.

You met with a couple of
my colleagues this morning.

Yeah. I remember.

What can I do for
you, Agent Scola?

Stuart, right now.

I'm here as a
person, not an agent.

Excuse me?

What you're doing is disgusting.

What the hell are
you talking about?

You're using the people
in these chat rooms.

You're stirring them up
for no reason so your stock

keeps going up, so
you keep getting richer.

You've got no right
talking to me like this.

Some idiot murdered Tim
Davis this morning for no reason.

He's not a traitor or a sellout.

Because of all of these tweets

and chat room
missives, he's dead.

It's not my fault.

A guy named Elliot
Plank shot him.

But it is. You provoked
him. You gave him cause.

You made him
believe that there really

is some sort of financial
revolution underway.

Tim Davis had a wife,

two little kids.

If you keep doing
what you're doing,

preaching what you're
preaching with your brains

and your platform,

you're going to get
more people killed too,

so I'm here to give
you a polite warning.

You keep giving these
phony, populous speeches,

stirring up the chat room crowd,

I'm going to open up
a case against you.

I don't even know
what the crime is yet,

but I will find one...
insider trading,

racketeering, securities fraud.

And I swear to
God, I'll make it stick.

Then you better bring it

'cause I ain't
changing a damn thing.

I believe what I believe.

I'm going to say
what I want to say.

My company is
going to cure cancer.

It is.

And if these chat room
folks help scare away

the greedy short sellers
from destroying my company

and give me more time and money

to actually find
the medical cures

I know I can find,

then so be it.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Thank you. This is embarrassing.

What the hell happened?

- I was talking to Nathan Gold.
- What?

Why in the world
would you do that?

I couldn't take it
anymore, Tiff, okay?

I had enough.

This Gold guy, when I
saw him riling up the masses

after we arrested
Plank, right or wrong,

I decided to confront him.

Okay.

I mean, I wish you
would've told me.

Would've rode down here
with you and had your back.

Then you wouldn't have
been napping on the concrete

like you did,

but I respect your passion.

For the record, it wasn't
Nathan Gold that hit me.

After our little chat, I
turned to walk away

and caught a glimpse of a
guy in a black mask, a gaiter.

Then just, wham.

One of Nathan's
fanboys did this.

- Just talked to a witness.
- Said the guy who hit you

then pulled a gun
on Nathan Gold,

shoved him into a
black SUV and drove off.

Seconds after Agent
Scola was attacked,

it appears Nathan
Gold was abducted.

We now have three witnesses
claiming a man with a gun

forced Gold into a black
SUV and sped away.

No one saw his lower face.
He was wearing a mask,

but he appears to be white,
average height, 5'9 " to 5'11".

Now, depending
on your point of view,

Nathan Gold was
known to be outspoken,

charismatic, irreverent,
ridiculous, narcissistic.

One thing he is definitely
not is monogamous.

According to social
media and various tabloids,

he has a very active and
adventurous romantic life.

As for his professional life,

Gold is a self-proclaimed
scientific genius

and revolutionary.

He claims his company
will find flat-out cures

for various blood-borne cancers

and will ultimately eradicate
all cancers within ten years...

And I, for one,
hope that is true.

So the real question is, who
took Nathan Gold and why?

Right, let's start with
his long list of enemies.

Shall we? Jilted
business partners,

fired employees,
bitter romantic partners.

Top three, but feel free
to expand. Go to work.

Hey, listen. I need you
to track down Scola.

I want to talk to
him right away.

Copy that.

Why were you talking
to Nathan Gold?

Was it work related?

No, not exactly.

What does that mean?

I went there to

I told him to stop
riling up the masses

and pumping up his own stocks.

Said I'd open up a case
against him if he didn't.

You cannot make
threats like that.

You're an FBI agent,
not the morality police.

I know. I screwed up.

You do something
like that again,

I will fire you.

Go.

Okay, where are we?
What do we know?

- Police.
- We're scrubbing traffic pods

within a half mile of
the victim's townhouse,

found a black Range Rover,
no plates, headed east.

Were you able to ID the car?

Not yet, but we're
working on it.

Elise, can you pull up
the link I just sent you?

The abductor just
dropped this video clip.

It was live streamed
three minutes ago.

All right, eyes up.

This man is a fraud.

His company is a house of cards.

He says that Kix will
cure cancer, and it won't.

It's all lies.

The latest clinical
trial is proof of that.

I know because
I've seen the results.

No one was cured,

and one boy actually died.

You tell them the truth, Gold.

You tell them it was
all lies. Talk, talk!

I won't because it's not true.

Our drugs work.

In time, they will cure
all blood-borne cancers.

- Kix is the future!
- No, it's not!

Okay, what do we
know about this post?

Is the IP traceable?

- Negative. He used a VPN.
- All right.

Well, it's clear that
this is personal.

The kidnapper
referenced someone dying,

thinks Gold's
company is responsible,

so let's chase it,
find out who died

and who they are related to.

And let's go over
every piece of footage.

I want to know everything
possible about that room.

No detail is too small.

Allison, the FBI is here.

She'll be right back.

Can I help you?

I hope so. I'm Agent
Wallace. This is Agent Scola.

I'm Allison Lane,
chief operating officer.

Is this about the video
that just dropped?

- You've seen it?
- Yes. The whole company has.

Kidnapper referenced
a recent clinical trial,

said a boy died.

I'll need to talk to our lawyers

before I disclose anything.

We don't have time for lawyers.

We're trying to
save Nathan's life.

I understand, but the last thing

he'd want me to do
is to hurt our company,

defame our research.

He'd rather die. For real.

So if you'll be patient, I'll
be back with you when I can.

I like Nathan.

He's a genius, and I wouldn't
say any of this on the record,

but because he's
in so much danger...

Just talk to us on
or off the record.

We don't have much time.

He tends to exaggerate,
makes people think

that we're closer to the
finish line than we are.

What about this clinical trial?

Do you know anything about that?

There were 200 kids in a
phase one leukemia trial,

and it didn't work.

No one got better,
and one boy died.

What about the family?

Did they make
any threats or sue?

They didn't file a lawsuit,
but the father was really upset

and said some pretty
terrible things to Nathan

and to the research team.

We're going to need the
name of the boy who died.

I've seen the video.
Everyone has.

But I didn't have anything to do

with the son of a
bitch being kidnapped.

What's the point?
My son is gone.

There's nothing that loudmouth
can do to bring him back.

The reason that
we're here, Mr. Todd,

is that your son's death
was never publicized.

There was no press release

stating that he died while
participating in the trial.

But the kidnapper
referenced it in his video.

He's aware of your son's death.

I get it. Trust me.

But I don't know
anything about it.

Did you tell any of your
family members or friends?

Of course I did. Hell,
I told everyone I knew

what a joke this Nathan Gold is.

Every time I see his mug
on TV, I want to kick his ass.

And one of these days,

his company is
going to go bankrupt,

and when it does, I'm going
to make some good money too.

Are you saying you
shorted the stock?

- Are you a stock trader?
- No.

But I got friends who are,
told me all about that stuff.

Yeah, well, it's
way up right now.

Means you're losing money.

I know,

but one of these days,
the truth will come out,

and the damn thing is going
to go down like a bag of rocks.

So we can scratch
Todd off the suspect list.

We have multiple witnesses
who said he was at the bar

dealing with liquor vendors
at the time of the abduction.

Great. Back to square one.

I think we need to
expand our search,

start looking at people
with other motives.

What do you mean? Like what?

Like money.

Okay. So you kidnap Nathan Gold.

You get him to admit
that he's a fraud.

The stock crashes, and
the shorts get rich, right?

Stock price has
gone from 40 to 250.

Means the short sellers
are getting destroyed,

but if you abduct the founder,

the genius behind
the company's product,

get him to admit that
the whole thing is a fraud,

that stock price is
going to plummet.

I get it, but we got to
have more than a theory.

So we pulled the
names of the hedge funds

with the largest
short positions.

Number one on that list is
a place called GXC Capital.

Founder is a guy
named Gunner Crenshaw.

For the past few
weeks, he's been posting

defamatory statements
about Nathan Gold and Kix.

Based on today's stock price,

Gunner's short position
is down $385 million.

Wow.

Well, it wouldn't be the
first time a Wall Street guy

did something crazy in the
name of the almighty dollar.

Yep. Chase it.

You're damn right I
wrote those comments.

I stand by that statement, too.

Nathan Gold is a fraud. He
says all the right buzz words

and catch phrases, but
there's nothing behind it.

It must make you a little
crazy, seeing a stock go up

5, 10% every day,
especially since you're short.

Your point?

Well, publicly exposing
Gold as a fraud would tank

the stock, bail you out
of your short position.

Are you suggesting I
had something to do

with Nathan Gold's kidnapping?

We're suggesting that you posted

several negative comments
about Nathan Gold

and that you have a
significant financial interest

in seeing his company suffer.

We have $10 billion
under management,

so $100 million short really
doesn't mean a damn thing,

so my financial motivation

isn't as significant
as you think.

I got a great life. I made
a lot of money, a lot.

Why would I risk that
all over one trade?

I mean, even if we get
blown up, I don't lose a penny.

Only the investors do. I
get my 2% management fee

no matter what, plus
20% of the upside.

Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

Secret of Wall Street.

Why do you believe so strongly

that Nathan Gold is a fraud?

I mean, what prompted
you to make such a big bet

that his company
wouldn't succeed?

One of my traders,
a kid named Nick,

brought the idea to
me, said Kix was a fraud,

said he had firsthand knowledge.

I told him to go for it.

You saying it was
his idea to short Kix?

Is Nick here today?

No clue. I don't
really pay attention

to how or where the
worker bees make the honey,

but his office is
downstairs, 15th floor.

I'm starting to understand
why you left Wall Street.

No, I haven't seen him
for a few days, actually.

Said he's been
working from home.

And when was the
last time you saw him?

Yesterday morning.

- You haven't talked since?
- No.

He usually so out of touch?

No. This is unusual,

but he's under a lot
of stress these days.

We just talked to his boss,

told us about his big
trade shorting Kix Bio.

Yeah. He's obsessed
with that stupid company.

All he talks about, Nathan Gold,

the lies and the money
he's losing, of course.

Look, I like Nick. I really do.

He's not like the
other people here.

This was his shot,

a chance to hit
it big, you know,

and he's just getting crushed.

He's losing $1 million
a day. It's hard to watch.

One of these guys Nick?

Yeah. That's him on the right,

and that's his best
friend from high school.

Owns a bar. That one.

All right. Thank you very much.

Listen up. We're on the clock.

Our lead suspect is a hedge
funder named Nick Wilkes.

He is not in his house,
so let's get to work.

Track his phone, his car.

Nick leases a black Range Rover.

Okay. That makes it official.

Can we get a GPS signal on it?

Already up on it.

Vehicle is currently
stationary in Crown Heights.

All right. Maggie and
OA are the closest.

- I'll get them over there now.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Give me on on-screen
visual of that signal.

The rest of you keep
digging into Nick Wilkes.

Show me your hands!

Put your hands on
the steering wheel.

OA, check the trunk.
Get out of the car.

Now! Get out of the car.

Okay. Okay. I surrender.

It's clear.

Go. Put your hands
on the hood of the car.

- Go!
- Okay.

Who's Nathan Gold?

- Who?
- Nathan Gold, where is he?

I don't know who that is.

Where'd you get
this Range Rover?

I didn't get it from
anyone. It was unlocked.

I was dumpster
diving down the block

when some guy pulled up,

and he and another
guy walked off,

so I, you know, figured
I'd take a look inside.

Is this one of the guys?

I don't know. I
wasn't that close.

- Which way did he walk?
- That way.

Go.

Okay. So our observer sniper
team has two heat signatures

on one of the
silos on the right,

and there are
multiple entry points.

All right, guys. There's
no use going in blind.

It's too dangerous
for us and the hostage,

so when you guys
are in position,

I will make an announcement.

- Will do.
- Let's go.

Don't move.

Nick Wilkes, this is the FBI!

The place is
surrounded. It's over.

Put your hands up
and come on out.

I'm not the criminal!

Gold is, okay?

And we'll help you
investigate that,

but first, you
need to surrender.

There's no other
way out of this.

- Come out with your hands up.
- Okay.

I want someone from Kix
to acknowledge the fraud!

And I want a news crew
here so it's on the record!

You understand?

So the world can know the truth!

Until that happens,
I'm not going anywhere!

And if you try to come in here,

I'm going to shoot
him in the head!

Okay?

This is crazy.

His accusations are untrue.

We stand by the science and
technology of this company.

No way we could admit
on record we're a fraud.

It would destroy our reputation.

It doesn't matter
if it's true or not.

And the news crew won't be real.

It'll be two FBI agents
posing as a camera crew.

I can't do it. It's too risky.

Look, we are trying
to save Nathan's life.

I have a fiduciary
obligation to our stockholders

to do what's in the best
interest of the company.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Don't you get it?

There is a man holding
a gun to Nathan's head.

I understand. Trust me.

But if I go down there
and do what you say,

say Kix is a fraud,

even if it saves
Nathan's damn life,

he'll fire me the second
he gets out of that building.

You stop! Stop,
stop, stop! Please!

Okay. Okay. All good.

Nick, Kix's top research
scientist is coming here now.

Thank you. That's all I want.

I just want people
to know the truth.

That's all I want! Nobody
needs to get hurt here, okay?

Agreed, and I'm on your side,

so let's get your message
out and end this, okay?

That's her.

- Are you head of research?
- Yes.

I'm the chief
scientific officer.

- Where are the cameras?
- They're right over there.

But I'm warning you, you point
your weapon at them or me,

this meeting is over.

We're clear.
Just tell the truth,

then there's nothing
to worry about.

All right.

Here is what I'm willing
to say on the record.

We believe our
gene-editing technology

will cure various cancers,

but we don't have
enough definitive data

at the present time
to support that claim.

You don't have any definitive
data, let alone enough!

It's all talk!

That's what you
need to tell them!

Calm down. All right?

We're going to work
something out, Nick.

I can say that we've exaggerated

certain studies and results.

I don't know what
the hell that means!

What, you don't
have any proof of that!

It's all talk!

That's what you
need to tell them.

Okay. I'll say it.

Kix does not have
any definitive proof...

- Drop the weapon!
- Lines up, lines up!

Nicholas Wilkes, you're
under arrest for kidnapping

in violation of Title
18, USC Section 1201.

All right. Good work. Thank you.

I'm here with CEO of
Kix Bio, Nathan Gold.

Hey, Elise, can you turn
up the volume on this one?

You could've lost
your life today, Nathan.

What was running
through your mind?

All I could think about
was the lost opportunity.

If I died, the company
might not survive,

and all the good things
that we are so close

to accomplishing
might not come true,

but this event has only
made me more determined

and more committed.

Kix is the future. I stand
by our science 100%.

This guy just
can't help himself.

Stock is up another 35%.

See you tomorrow.

- Night.
- Nice work.

You too.

Look, I've already
given the other agents

my statement, so.

I just have one question,

and this is as a father,

okay, not an FBI agent.

Do your drugs really work?

Can they help cure leukemia?

Yes.

You know,

if you're lying, if you're
giving people false hope

I'm not. Gene editing works.

So who you think is
going to win the war,

Regular Joes or the
Wall Street big shots?

Who do you think?

Yeah. I figured.

- It's just like Vegas.
- The house always wins.

You know, growing
up where I did...

Like I did, I never
really trusted rich people.

I don't know. I just didn't,

and now after all
of this, I really don't,

so it's a good thing you got
out before you got rich, Scola.

Just for the record,

I might've exaggerated
how unsuccessful I was.

You saying you're rich?

I just don't like to
talk about it, that's all.

But as my partner,

I just thought I
should tell you.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Truth be told, I should've
seen that coming.

Any guy who spends $30
on a pound of damn coffee...
