This is our target, Tobias Kazan.

He runs the largest fentanyl syndicate in the Southland.

And tomorrow he's throwing a birthday party for his daughter, Aliz.

I cut through a mile of red tape

to acquire the Title III warrant

for Kazan's restaurant, which means what, Simone?

That we break in on the Q. T.

And install surveillance equipment.

But why, oh, why, Brendon, would a seasoned agent such as myself

waste his precious time listening in on a kingpin's family shindig?

Well, it looks to me like Tobias' family tree

and his crime tree share a lot of same branches.

SIMONE: And what better place than a family gathering

to run your mouth and talk shop?

And we'll capture every word spoken

thanks to the man who literally wrote the book

on electronic surveillance, Agent Bob Telford.

What a humbling day this must be for you rookies

to stand in the presence of a genius like myself.

Let's hope you can keep up.

Oh, we will do more than that.

I'm the razzle. B's the dazzle.

If just one mic or camera's detected,

the whole operation is blown.

So, I'd be happy if you just didn't screw this up.

You, "Vampire Fed," what's our first step?

CARTER: Bob was a legend.

His surveillance ops took down some of the

biggest criminals of the last two decades.

I once heard a rumor that he went 32 hours without urinating.

Forty-seven. Man was a machine.

Sounds like he's trying to murder his kidneys.

Well, I spoke to Bob's wife, and she told me

he'd been struggling with high blood pressure

and diabetes for years.

So, most likely he had a stroke.

You okay, boss?

Bob was a good man.

Do you think someone found out about your relationship

and used it as a way to get a payday from both sides?

No, okay? Nobody knew about me and Aliz.

We kept it secret, okay?

We didn't even go out in public together since we met.

How did you guys meet?

At Hard Road a few months ago.

Biker bar. Huh.

That's a strange place for her, huh?

Yeah. I mean, she was... She was out of place big time.

But, you know, she was... She was really cute about it.

So I hit on her.

Once I found out who she was, I-I backed off.

Okay? I knew my dad would be pissed, but...

That girl is... She's...

She's... She's stubborn.

You know, that's... That's Aliz for you.

He just lawyered up.

That's four for four. No one's talking.

Definitely not your run-of-the-mill kidnappers.

This one looks like he just got his braces off.

GARZA: I know. It's odd.

None of them have ties or records to either crime family.

It's like they're just straight out of suburbia. [DOOR OPENS]

More like straight out of Southern College of Los Angeles.

I found the link between the kidnappers.

Dwayne here is a senior. The other two just graduated.

Aliz goes to SCLA. That can't be a coincidence.

Well, maybe they found out who her father was

and they thought they could make a quick buck.

And Kellen is just collateral that ended up being worth something.

Maybe, but my daddy always said,

when something don't seem right, turn on the light.

I take it you have a theory?

No, more of a question.

How does Aliz, a spoiled princess,

go from d-arties to biker bars?

D-arties... That's a day party.

Little Miss Aliz may not be as innocent as she seems.

REPORTER: The FBI arrested several men,

averting what was a tense standoff earlier...

You said there was no way your families would involve the cops.

They wouldn't.

The cops got onto this some other way.

Eventually, yeah.

But none of them know I'm in on it, right?

No, they all think it was my idea.

Good.

Can we see the vic?

GARZA: What is it?

I've seen this guy before.

[RADIO CHATTER, INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

She knew her kidnapper.

Miss Kazan, we're with the FBI. I'm so glad you're safe.

It was awful.

I'm sure it was.

We ID'd your kidnapper, the... the man you killed.

He came at me with a knife.

His name is Tony Eakins.

Did you know him?

No. I never met him before in my life.

Any idea why he abducted you or your boyfriend?

Because our dads are rich.

And you sure you've never seen him before?

Aliz, honey, let me give you some advice.

The next time you decide to lie,

scrub your socials first.

I guess it's easier to kill somebody

if you pretend like you don't remember them.

Same as it is if you say you love them

and don't even ask about how they doing.

'Cause, see, the first thing that little Kellen boy did

was ask about you.

I'm in shock.

I would be too,

if I killed somebody to keep from going to jail.

Out of my way. She's my daughter.

- Don't say another word. - Stand back.

Your daughter is the prime suspect in her own kidnapping

and the kidnapping of Kellen Filmore.

And for the murder of Tony Eakins.
