Pass the ball.
Pass the ball!

- It's coming for you, Taylor!
- Watch the push.

Watch the push.

Get ready.
Get ready!

All right, Taylor!

Oh, come on, Patrick!
What the hell was that?

That was a goal.

My kid caught the ball!

While standing
behind the goal line.

Oh, you've gotta be
kidding me.

Ma'am,
I need you to back up.

Or what?

Hey, Lindsey.
Hey.

It's all good.

Just calm down.
It's all right.

It's not exactly the World Cup.
She's going great.

That's all right, Taylor.
You shake it off.

I think it's snack time.

I brought those oranges
you asked for.

You want me to grab 'em?

No, I'll go.

I could use the cool-off.

I agree.

All right.
Let's go, Taylor.

Come on!

Come on.

Hit, hit.

- Ha!
- Hit it.

Move those hands.

Move those hands.

- Come on, man.
- Ha!

Hit, hit.
Ah.

There you go.

I've gotta get that, Coach.

Get that from me.

This is Ortiz.

Ivan?
It's me.

Sheri?

What's wrong?

My sister was
shot dead today.

Uh...

I think someone's
trying to kill me.

*FBI Most Wanted*
Season 02 Episode 14

Episode Title: "Hustler"
Aired on: May 18, 2021

So the trick is low heat
for a long time.

What other secrets are you
keeping from me, Cheffy, huh?

You do a stint
at Le Cordon Bleu or something?

The CIA, actually.

The what?

It's the Culinary Institute
of America.

- Really?
- No.

My mom's a professional chef.

She's not.

Bye.

Remind me never
to plan a wedding

in the middle
of a pandemic again.

- What, uh, Commander's Palace?
- Florist.

Oh, they're rescheduling?

They closed down permanently.

What?

Isn't that the second
cancellation this month?

In weeks.

And with the CDC
playing fast and loose

with their gathering
guidelines...

It's enough to make a guy

wanna call the whole thing off.

Another guy.

A stupid guy.
Not me.

You guys
could get married here.

- Here here?
- Yeah.

That's actually a cool idea.

It is.

No scrambling.

No more lost deposits.

Right?

Marie, there's more than
one florist in New Orleans.

And we would have
to find a priest

or a Justice of the Peace.

Oh!
Aunt Louise can do it.

She got ordained last year
for her two friends.

We could take
what would have been

two more months of planning

and turn it into a few days.

Have fun with it.

We got family.

What more do we need?

What do you think, Jesse B?

Here, here?

Aw, don't worry.
The girls have got this.

All you need to do is show up
dressed to impress.

What are you laughing at,
young lady?

Eat your eggs.

LaCroix.

Rookie taking point?

They grow up so fast.

This is Lindsey Verlage,

recruiter for a software
company based out of D.C.

She was shot six times.

It happened in the parking lot

of her daughter's
soccer game yesterday.

Six?

Which suggests
it wasn't random.

There were no witnesses.

No one even heard the shots.

What do we have
from the scene?

No prints, no casings.

So our UFAP is
for a John Doe?

Don't need one.

Murder in the District

kicks it up to a federal case.

Plus the potential
intimidation

of a federal informant.

Who's the informant?

Lindsey's sister,
Sheri James.

You're saying the sister
of our vic

is an active FBI source?

Was.
Five years ago.

My first case.

Joint Terrorism Task Force
in D.C.

We ran a surveillance op
on this guy:

drug dealer, Max Nikolla.

What'd the JTTF want
with a dealer?

We suspected he was part

of a Serbian terrorist cell
in the U.S.

But we couldn't prove it
until we got Sheri.

And you flipped her?

We worked Nikolla for a year.

He was good,
but she was better.

She got him to admit
that he was plotting

to kill Daniel Arwith.

The journalist?

Nikolla stalked him
for months.

Death threats, phone calls.

I mean, he even killed
the family dog.

But we could only put him away
for five years.

As far as we knew,
Nikolla didn't have

any reason to suspect
that Sheri flipped on him.

She was the best CI
I ever had.

I haven't seen her in years,

but she really did make a life
for herself in D.C.

She owns a townhome.

She runs a limo company.

A real life.

Until the Bureau of Prisons
called and said

Nikolla was released
to a halfway house.

Which means he's free
to come and go.

And he hasn't checked in
in three days.

He's had five years
to figure out what Sheri did

and where she's at now.

But why was
her sister murdered

when Sheri was
at the game with her?

Sheri and Lindsey,

they bear a resemblance
to each other.

And Lindsey was unloading
the cooler from Sheri's BMW.

Either he shot
the wrong sister...

Or he's making a game of it.

Stalking his prey.

Just like he did with Arwith.

You reach out
to your buddies at the JTTF?

Yeah, they're making
all their resources

available to us.

Why don't you go?

Check to make sure
that Sheri's okay.

The rest of will catch up
with you in D.C.

- Hey.
- Hey.

We got a room for you
at a hotel in Bethesda.

You'll be safe there.

Okay.

For how long?

At least until
we find Nikolla.

He shot her six times.

I know.

Look, I'm sorry.
I know it's...

I'm sorry.

Listen to me.
Look.

Everything's gonna be okay.

- All right?
- Mm-hmm.

Everything's gonna be fine.

You're gonna be okay.

Homesick already?

Guys, this is
Agent Lisa Moss.

Best agent in JTTF.

- Besides me.
- What?

Hey, hey.

I'm Jess LaCroix.
Thanks for having us.

We're glad for the help.

Max Nikolla at large
is a scenario

we're not excited about.

Can we get the highlights

from the original
investigation?

I have that set up
right here.

Nikolla is
the American-born child

of Serbian immigrants
Vlado and Jana Nikolla.

Born and raised in D.C.

He came on our radar when
the Washington "Star Tribune"

received hate mail
with traces of Anthrax in it.

We connected the mail
to a local Serbian cell

and started a wiretap.

Ortiz flipped Sheri,
got Nikolla's confession,

and the first round
of victory beers was on me.

As I recall.

Well, why did he want
the journalist dead

in the first place?

Arwith's covered
international relations

for decades.

A needle in any one
of those haystacks most likely.

You have a detail
on Arwith's house?

- We do.
- All right.

Barnes and I'll head there.

Hana, Crosby, you guys hit
the halfway house.

Anybody knows his whereabouts
or intel on a plan,

I wanna know about it.

Go check on her.

Let's go.

Hey!
Stop!

Stop!

Hey, stop.
Please hurry.

- You okay?
- It's my wife.

Please.
She's hurt.

There's a deer,
and I... I swerved.

Please, she...

I-I tried to swerve, okay?
The deer...

The deer, he just never
saw me coming.

I get death threats
all the time.

My beat for the "Star Tribune"

is war crimes
and human rights violations.

But they don't usually
send the FBI.

We're not here
about a new death threat.

We're here about an old one.

About five years ago,
your dog was killed.

Max Nikolla is out of prison?

For about three days now.

Can you think of anything...

I wrote this in 2016

after Suriname became
the first UN nation

to withdraw
its recognition of Kosovo

as a sovereign nation
from Serbia.

And that would've made
Nikolla angry enough

to threaten your life?

It was an op-ed
cautioning other nations

against following suit.

My fear was that Suriname

would be the first domino in
a row of UN nations to fall.

So yeah, I can see
how my warning

would've pissed
some Serbians off.

Nikolla's parents
were Serbian immigrants,

but he was born here.

Nationalism sometimes
skips a generation,

especially if immigrant parents

are laser-focused
on assimilation.

I was boots on the ground
during the war.

The 1999 bombings
of Serbia and Kosovo

were NATO forces,
but we know how that goes.

NATO didn't act alone.

Only public responsibility
the U.S. took for the war

was bombing the Chinese
Embassy in Belgrade.

But U.S. special ops
were there.

And not for the vacation.

Would Nikolla
have known that?

If he had family there, sure.

And... it means

that if Nikolla is planning
something bigger,

my article won't be
of much use to you.

Because?

Because his target
won't be ambassadors

to countries like Suriname.

It likely won't even be
Kosovar Albanians.

He'll be targeting Americans.

My team and I are doing
everything we can, Miss James.

Your job is to sit tight.

Don't make or answer
any calls.

No one can know where you are.

Well, he knew I was gonna be

at my niece's soccer game,
so couldn't he just...

I got agents in the lobby.

Nikolla sets foot
inside your hotel,

they'll know about it.

Okay.
Thank you.

Thanks, boss.

Seriously.

Thank you

for everything.

You put your life
on the line for me before.

I'll always be there for you.

Catalina?

Hm?

- Your hat.
- Oh.

Yeah.

Uh, I went there

to, uh...
To watch the eclipse.

Strange, huh?

What?

How it doesn't feel strange.

Us being around
each other again?

Yeah.

Look, is there something
that you wanna tell...

I gotta go.

These are all
of Nikolla's personal effects.

Did he make any waves
while he was here?

No.
He seemed like a normal guy.

Didn't make any trouble.

Until he fled your
halfway house three days ago

and allegedly murdered a mother
at her daughter's soccer game.

Until then.

Did he make any calls
to friends and family?

No one.

He didn't associate
with folks in here either.

Spent his time reading.

Crosby.

Who's that?

Boy in the photo
is Andrej Markovic,

Nikolla's first cousin.

So either Andrej
came to America

or Nikolla spent time
in Serbia.

Likely the latter.

Andrej was born and raised
in Belgrade.

He lost his leg
in the 1999 bombings.

He was in the war?

He was a civilian.

11 years old.

He died five years ago.

It was a suicide.

To Nikolla, that translates
to "the U.S. killed my cousin."

Okay.
Hold on.

Body found on the side
of the highway in Alexandria.

Prints at the scene are
a match to Nikolla's.

The deceased is Tommy Webb.

He was delivering
for a company

called Pace Keepers Tech,
and the truck's been stolen.

If Nikolla needed transpo,
why steal a delivery truck?

What was it carrying?

Pace Keepers Tech.

Looks like they manufacture
and sell timing chips.

Those discs that upload pace
and final times in marathons.

I ran the Maui Tri last year.
They're required.

- Are they hackable?
- Sure.

Though I can't say shaving
a minute off your mile pace

is the most diabolical
terrorist conspiracy

I've heard of.

Yeah, but they could be
turned into IEDs.

Yeah, tiny ones.

They wouldn't pack
much of a punch,

but they could take off a hand.

Or a leg.

Sporting events or races
in the D.C. area.

Triage 'em by date.

Mm-kay.
Starting today.

We got a kids' swim meet
in Bethesda.

There's a bike race
in Arlington.

There's a 10K mud run

benefitting
Solidarity for Soldiers.

- That one.
- Click on that one.

That's just a nonprofit.

Provides financial support
to wounded U.S. veterans.

That's it.

The mud run is
Nikolla's target.

The charity,
it honors veterans.

The race is for civilians.
I don't...

That's exactly
who he's after.

He's not looking
to kill anybody.

He wants to maim 'em.

Make amputees out
of American citizens?

Like what was done
to his cousin.

How many people have
registered in the race?

Over 100.

Attention, attention.

Welcome to the Solidarity
for Soldiers 10K mud run!

There you go.

Hey, I'm 150.

150.

It's my first mud run.
I'm a little nervous.

Don't be.

Thank you.

90.

- Here you go.
- All right, listen up, folks.

Make sure your timing chips are
securely attached to your shoe,

and your race bands
are fastened to your shirt.

Thank you.

Keep your eyes peeled.

He could come from anywhere.

All runners,
all runners,

please proceed
to the starting line.

Good luck
and have a great time!

I don't see anything.

It's in the shoes.

It's in the shoes!

Take your shoes off,
everybody!

Take your shoes off!

- Get your shoes off!
- Shoes off!

Take your shoes off,
everybody!

- Hey!
- Get your shoes off!

Get your shoes off!

Everybody,
get your shoes off now!

Shoes off!

Shoes off!

He's behind the fence.
6:00.

I see him.

Stop right there!

Stop!

I got you, I got you.
It's gonna be okay.

Pressure on. Someone's coming
right now, okay?

Hands behind your back!
Hands behind your back!

Get up.
Get up!

Hi, it's Sheri.

You know what to do.

Mondale Lodge.

Yeah, could I get
room 815 please?

One moment.

- Hello?
- Who's this?

Who is this?

This is Agent Ortiz
with the FBI.

Detective Briggs,
Metro PD.

The ME hasn't gotten here yet,

- so the body is...
- The body... what body?

What are you talking about?

Sheri James.

She was murdered this morning.

She died quickly
if that's of any condolence.

Her carotid artery
was shredded immediately

by the first shot.

She looks so different.

People do when they're dead.

It's like you know them,

but you don't know them,
you know?

She has a scrip
for progesterone.

What?

Was Sheri pregnant?

She never mentioned that.

I won't know for sure
until the autopsy,

but it looks like
she was starting to show.

You recover
any shell casings?

From a .22.

Anybody hear anything?

No.

So killing her was what,

finishing up old business?

Before you moved on
to your plan

to blow the ankles
off innocent civilians.

Now that... that was
a pretty good plan.

Making a race course
a battlefield.

That way Andrej
wouldn't be alone.

It's not right what
your country did to him.

Our country.

Weren't you, uh,
born in Baltimore?

My parents were not.

So you see yourself
as Serbian.

100%.

Everyone deserves
to feel the pain

that your country left behind.

They don't count
the injuries of war,

only deaths.

The rest are just...

collateral damage.

Is that what
Sheri was to you?

Collateral damage?

- Who?
- Sheri James.

You shot her three times.

And that's after you shot
her sister six times.

I haven't heard that name
since I went in.

So did it take you all
these years to track Sheri down

so you could what...
Just kill her?

I didn't shoot anybody.

Come on.

The Mondale Lodge.
This morning?

I was at the race
this morning.

You arrested me there.

Single shot, close range
with a silencer.

This was a hit.

Nikolla hired someone.

I don't think
he was involved at all.

He never left the race.

Maybe the ME got
her time of death wrong.

Barnes said his motivation
was purely political,

not personal.

It has to be Nikolla.

Ivan, it isn't.

When was the last time
you spoke to Sheri,

before all of this?

Like I said before,
it's been a few years.

And you've been divorced
how long?

A few years.
W...

How long were you two
in a relationship?

She was my CI.

I said, "How long were
you two in a relationship?"

Look, whatever did
or did not happen

with me and Sheri has nothing...

I could bench you
for not telling me

the truth about this.

You can bench me if you want.

But I will find her killer.

Then start by being honest.

By keeping this from me,

you've given that person
one hell of a head start.

All I cared about
was her safety.

And all you could see
was the past.

It wasn't Nikolla.

We have to tear
Sheri's life apart

so that we can find out
why somebody wanted her dead.

And you...

You're a part of that life.

Look at me.

Is there anything else
you're keeping from me?

No, boss.

Okay,
so murder-for-hire schemes

usually prey on the desperate.

Our hitman
is most likely someone

living on the fringes
at the end of their rope.

Yeah, but no one knew
Sheri was at the hotel.

She must have told someone.

Surveillance didn't see
anyone suspicious

coming or going.

Well, they were watching
for Nikolla.

- All right.
- I'm in Sheri's bank accounts.

She has several large deposits
at random times made

to her District Drivers
account.

That's the car service
company she owns, right?

Yeah.

Cars, limos,
SUVs for local hire.

It's a lot
of corporate accounts,

mostly the same amounts
billed monthly.

But then you have
these balloon payments.

Any names on the senders?

Yeah, the largest one's
from something

called Luna de Lobo.

You're kidding.

Have you heard of it?

The only Luna de Lobo
I know is a production company.

For Rob Parker.

The actor?

From that show,
"The Beltway Diaries?"

- What's that?
- It's about Watergate.

Yeah, but with...
But with teens, right?

Well, it's not
historically accurate.

Rob Parker plays the hot dad.

He's so good in it.

She told me
she had me on video.

From one of her limos?

I mean, if we were in New
York, this would never happen.

- In New York...
- Let me guess.

Escorts.

- Look.
- Some parts require research.

Lots of people see escorts,
especially in this town.

So what else did
she have on you?

I have a big fanbase.

Show's been on the air
for five years.

I've seen pictures of you
with your fans.

Are you, uh, a fan too?

Your fans are
on the younger side.

If we were in California,
this would never happen.

Exploiting underage fans
is pretty much illegal

no matter where you are.

Never give a ride to a fan

without checking
their ID first.

So you paid
to keep it on the DL.

I would've lost my
insurance rider on this show.

And that, I could not afford.

I figured I'd pay her,

she'd destroy the thumb drives,
and...

this would all blow over.

When you were running Sheri,
did you wire her up?

Yeah, we tapped her phone
and her car.

So she would know how
to rig discrete mics in a limo.

Well, this is also
a woman willing

to sell out
her drug-dealer boyfriend.

The better the source,
the bigger the problems.

I've had sources
go south on me.

I'd finished a case against
an agricultural company.

Six months later,
I found out my source

was embezzling from the company
she testified against.

She called me for help,

but she never mentioned
any of this to me.

Probably because she thought
she had it all under control,

and it seems like she did

until she pissed off
the wrong person.

That's what got her killed.

From day one, she played me.

I gave her a way out,
and I thought she took it

because she wanted to change.

But she was only ever
out for herself.

She wasn't just hustling
her clients.

She was hustling me.

We do all
our bookings online.

Sheri's desk
has seen better days.

What do you think
they were looking for?

Evidence of extortion?

It could be thumb drives,
camera recordings.

Hey, Crosby,
look at this.

Somebody taped a key
to the bottom of the drawer.

Huh.

You see these teeth marks?

It's a safety deposit key.

Now we just gotta
find the box.

I think I have an idea.

Yeah.

You see these bank statements
from TWL bank?

Someone accessed
Sheri's safety deposit box

at TWL Bank this morning
at 9:00 a.m.

I'm running facial recognition.

Sheri's purse wasn't
recovered at the scene.

This woman took her ID.

She killed a dispatcher

to get the key
from Sheri's office,

then posed as Sheri at the bank

to get access
to the safety deposit box.

Can you get anything else
on this woman?

Her name is Nancy Lawson.

Army vet,
one tour in Afghanistan.

She knows her way
around a gun.

All right,
let's go find the connect

between Sheri and Nancy.

Here.

And Sheri?

You have something for me?

- Did you book your flight?
- I leave tomorrow.

Leave tonight.

There's a little something else
in there for you.

Not here.

Barnes and I
will take the front.

You two cover the back.

Hey!

She's on the move!

Stop right there!

Hey!

Hands behind your back.

Stop moving.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

We found two phones
in Nancy's apartment.

One was a burner.
One was Sheri's.

Both placed calls
to the same number.

It's to a congressman...

Reese Holland
from fifth district in Indiana.

When was the last time
Nancy called Holland?

About an hour
before we picked her up.

- And Sheri?
- The morning she died.

So she must have told him
where she was,

or he traced the call
to the hotel somehow.

And Nancy's lawyered up.

And not saying a word.

Do we have anything
that puts Nancy at the hotel

when Sheri died?

Cameras were down
in the elevators.

Holland put a hit out
on Sheri.

Is that what we're saying?

That a congressman
is behind this?

How'd he even find
this Nancy?

Well, some congressman
work soup kitchens.

Others kiss babies.

Holland, on the other hand,
is a fan of basketball.

Bottom right.

With Nancy's
military background,

it would give her
the training she needed

to effectively take out Sheri.

We also found tracks
on her arms

after Crosby took her down.

Fighting an addiction.

Probably low on cash.

It's the perfect person
to approach.

Okay, great.

ME just confirmed...
Sheri was four months pregnant.

Okay.

I'm guessing Holland was...

Is married.

15 years.

Any chance that baby is his?

Here's the weird.

I can't find any payments
from Holland to Sheri

other than a standing
corporate account.

She wasn't extorting him
for money.

Then why would
he want her dead?

Because she was gonna
have his baby.

A woman having an affair
with a congressman

who then winds up dead.

It's a riff
on the Chandra Levy story.

Exactly.

Maybe she wants more
out of the relationship.

But that's bad
for Holland's political career.

So he hires Nancy to kill Sheri

and access whatever's
in that manila envelope.

Proof of their relationship?

Or proof of her pregnancy.

So you think she threatened
to expose him

if he didn't do right
by his kid?

How else would Holland know
about the safe deposit box?

That would explain
why he went

to the lengths that he did.

Emptying the box,
having Sheri killed.

Any proof of their relationship
dies with her.

So Nikolla getting out
of jail last week was what,

karmic coincidence?

- I don't know.
- Could be.

Well, they were together,
right?

Maybe Sheri told Holland
about her old life,

that she helped
put Nikolla away.

There's also this.

Holland was
on the Oversight Committee

for the Bureau of Prisons.

He knew exactly
when Nikolla was getting out.

And planned
Sheri's murder perfectly.

Reese Holland!

FBI.

What is this?

Sheri James and Nancy Lawson.

Reese, what are
they talking about?

Do you wanna tell your wife
who they are,

or would you like me to?

I...

A federal informant
was murdered.

Your husband got her pregnant.

That wasn't me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey!

- Easy, take it easy.
- That's it. That's enough.

How could you do this to us?

Get up.

Give me your hands.

Whatever scam that woman
was running was just that...

A scam.

I've been happily married
for over 15 years.

Save it for your memoirs,
Congressman.

You're under arrest
for solicitation of murder.

Let's go.

How could you do this?

Take it easy.
Take it easy.

I really thought
she would turn her life around.

- I was an easy mark.
- Maybe.

But she was also really good
at what she did.

You made some mistakes.

You can look at this
as a blind spot,

or you can see it as an asset.

What do you mean?

Your ability to connect
with people.

We all have our strengths
and our weaknesses.

What are yours?

My what?

Your weaknesses?

I tend to run
a little bit cold.

You don't.

Don't lose that.

You got plans tomorrow?

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke
once said...

"Even though we know
love's landscape,

"again and anew

we walk out together..."

Come on.
We all know why we're here.

Do we love each other or what?

- We do.
- We do.

Then by the authority
vested in me

by the state of New York,

I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

Now kiss each other already.

Seriously.

Have you ever
sorted laundry before?

You mean like
clean and dirty?

My "White Album"
shirt is pink.

- All right, all right.
- Oh, I'm s...

Y'all leave my boy alone.

Aww.
I'm so sorry.

- Cheers.
- Anybody else? Cheers.

Cheers.
Charlotte, you want one?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I'm not drinking.

Are you on a cleanse too?

Zadie makes
a mean green machine.

You gotta try it.

Congratulations.

- How far along are you?
- Aw.

Wait.
What just happened?

It's early still.

What's early?

This!

Oh!
Congratulations!

- Thank you.
- Wow.

I'm gonna drink
your drink for you.

You know what?
Take it.

- It's all yours.
- Do you mind? Do you mind?

- No problem.
- Okay. Bye, guys!

- Enjoy.
- Ooh!

You make it look so easy.

Everything's easier here.

Hugh called.

He wants me
to drop the charges.

Are you going to?

No.
Of course not.

I just wanted you to know.

There's a guy by the barn

who's about to steal
your motorcycle.

Oh, dear.

He's happy
when you're here.

And he hasn't been happy
for a long time.

You wanna go dance?

Yes.

When'd you get this bad boy?

Before Tali was born.

There's dust all over it.

When'd you stop riding?

- After Tali was born.
- Ah.

You know, my dad always says,

"If you've got a horse,
you gotta ride it."

He's right.

Thank you!

For one of the better days
of my life.

Marie could not be happier

with the way
everything turned out.

Sarah's the one who kept
the train on the tracks.

Yeah.
Sarah's great, man.

Thanks.

Congrats, Byron.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Sarah is a keeper.

She could be.

Have you told her that?

Well, I invited her
to stay with us.

- No.
- No, I invited her to stay.

You showed her
where the towels are.

Jess, are you scared?

- Dad...
- Because sometimes with you,

the way you are,

and with your work and all,

it's hard to know
exactly how you're feeling.

Let's get back to the party.

I... no, Jess.

You do this...

This... this
"keep your distance" mamba,

and it's really hard
to dance with.

You know, I'm only saying.

How much weight does one give

to love advice from a man
who just had his third wedding?

Well, it took three tries
to get it right.

But... but the important thing
is,

I took the chance.

What are you waiting for?
