So I'm showing her the house.

"Here's the master, the kitchen..." And she asks if she can use the bathroom.

I thought you weren't supposed to do that at an open house.

You're not.

Very bad form.

But what am I gonna say, no?

So she comes out, and she is high as a kite.

No!

I can literally see the powder under her nose.

But now she loves this house.

She wants to move in today, right now.

But I know in my heart this sale is going nowhere.

Sorry.

My life in art.

- Did the mail come?

- Uh, yeah, it's in the front.

You know, you should've told her you're married to a cop, just to see what the look on her face was.

Yeah.

It's sad when you think about it.

Still, I was really hoping to make a sale.

Well, you'll sell the house.

You always do.

I've actually got two viewings next...

Victim opened it inside the door, triggered the expl*si*n.

He's DOA.

b*mb tech said that he was blown to bits.

Thanks for the image, Scola.

Just reporting what I'm told, Maggie.

The house is owned by Henry Lasher.

He's a group supervisor for the A*F and runs the firearm task force.

He the DOA?

No, it was his husband, Russell Griffin.

Lasher got some cuts, but he should be okay.

The mail carrier said that she didn't notice anything unusual about the package.

Okay, we'll speak with Lasher.

Bomber could've scoped out this house.

Can you put together a canvas?

See if anybody noticed any strangers on the block recently.

Also, check all the security and doorbell cams.

- Have you been getting threats?

- No, none.

- Any exes, jilted lovers?

- No.

I know where you're going with this, no.

No, there was no one like that for either one of us.

Okay, what about the work?

Anything worth mentioning?

My unit's been pressing pretty hard on some anti-government groups, domestic terror cells, and we had a bust six weeks ago that stirred up some noise.

Online blowback?

Yeah, a ton.

You know, they were saying that, uh, the guys that we arrested, they're patriots, and we're traitors.

Okay, uh, we'll look into it.

You always know something can happen to you on the job.

I never thought they'd get Russell.

♪ ♪ All right, obviously we're gonna wait until all the facts are in, but right now, it looks like the b*mb was intended for the victim's husband, Henry Lasher, an A*F agent, one of us, and I don't know about anyone else, but that kind of pisses me off, so let's get to work.

Kelly, where are we with the IED?

So techs collected fragments of PVC tubing, copper wire, and what's left of a nine-volt battery from the blast scene.

- So your basic pipe b*mb.

- Yeah.

Wired to explode when the package was opened.

They also found traces of perchlorates.

Perchlorates, what is that again?

Uh, they're used for solid rocket fuel and bombs.

Okay, so I'm guessing that stuff is not just lying around the house.

We need to know how the bomber got it, if he bought it, who sold it, if he stole it, who from, yeah?

What about the package?

What do we know?

Postal Inspection Service says the one that contained the b*mb was dropped off two days ago - at : a.m. in Bronxville.

- Bronxville?

- Wait, you got video?

- Yeah, pulling it up now.

All right, eyes up, people.

- That's him.

- Oh.

What do you think, Hobbs?

Think we can get facial rec?

- Not enough face to work with.

- Yeah, I agree.

Can we track him after he leaves the post office?

I can try.

Street cam footage is spotty in Bronxville.

Trying is good.

Let's try.

Package bombs are like potato chips.

People don't stop after just one.

Let's find this guy.

So six weeks ago, Lasher busted eight guys for plotting to steal a*t*matic weapons from the National Guard base.

The leaders were two brothers named Hudson.

- And there's been backlash.

- Yeah.

The father, Daniel Hudson, has been making some noise.

He posted a bunch of paranoid videos, yells about conspiracy theories, and then asks people to donate to a defense fund for his kids.

Not the first guy to work that scam.

No, but something he said did stick out.

It's another example of the police state tactics of the radical socialist regime in DC.

Why was the A*F spying on my sons?

Because they're terrified that real Americans are waking up to their fascist plots.

The fact is that my sons did nothing, and they're in jail.

This part.

While the man who arrested them is in his nice suburban home.

- "Nice suburban home." - He knows where Lasher lives.

And he's the same height and build as the guy that mailed the b*mb.

Okay, Tiffany and Scola are still canvassing, right?

Have you had any contact with Agent Lasher recently?

- No.

- Have you been to his house?

No.

Then you wanna tell us why two of his neighbors saw you ten days ago on his street?

This is from a security camera down the block.

We've ID'd this as your truck, so would you like to try again?

It's not enough you lock up my boys.

Now you come out here.

You try to trick me into perjuring myself, lock me up, too, for lying to the FBI.

You can't tell me that this is America.

Just answer the question, please.

Yeah, I went out there to talk with Lasher, have it out with him face to face.

Sat around a couple hours, he didn't show, I got tired, and I left.

We didn't make contact.

I didn't go to his house.

I never got out of the truck.

So where were you two days ago, : a.m.?

At the clinic getting chemo.

Kidney cancer.

How many donations have you gotten?

Hundreds because people know that what I'm saying is real.

We're gonna need all the names of your donors.

What the hell for?

Uh, because they're suspects.

♪ ♪ Hey, Hudson's alibi checks out.

He was getting chemo when the b*mb was mailed, and he has a clean rap sheet.

But he did turn over his donor list.

Yeah, we've been going through it... nothing so far.

Okay, bye.

Jubal.

I got video.

Yeah, eyes up!

I managed to track the guy from the post office.

He walked around for a while, and then he went into a shipping store.

He sent another box.

Any way to enlarge the label, see who it's addressed to?

Not here, I asked the Multimedia Exploitation Unit to enhance it, told them to put a rush on it.

Great, thanks.

Heads up!

We have evidence of another b*mb in transit.

We have to assume that it's live.

Let's notify NYPD, FDNY, USPIS, and let's get the b*mb squad.

We need to be on top of this now.

Jupal, MXU just got back with the shipping label.

He's a software designer that specializes in artificial intelligence programs.

Never heard of Lasher, had nothing to do with the Hudson case.

So what's the connection?

Why'd the bomber go after these two guys?

Good job.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

Thanks, Owen.

I can take it from here.

Mr. Frazier.

- I hope this is all right.

- What can I do for you?

I just wanted to thank you for dealing with Richard the way you did today Agent Zidan was a big part of that as well.

It means a great deal to me because, um...

There were signs before Richard was diagnosed, things I saw for years, really.

But I ignored them.

I didn't want to think about it, didn't want to rock the boat.

I didn't want to deal with the stress and emotion, So I looked the other way, pretended everything was okay.

If I'd actually said something or better yet, done something, maybe he would have gotten on medication sooner, he wouldn't have gotten so sick, and maybe that man would still be alive.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Frazier, I'm leaving.

I'll walk you out.

Sure.

- Have a good night.

- You, too.

Uh, one second.

If you need anything, you just call me, okay?

I will.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Hey.

What's up?

- Hey.

Can I come in?

Yeah, sure.

You surprised me, so you're not allowed to be snarky about the mess.

And I'd take you out for coffee, but I have to finish an English paper.

I'm not here for that.

So what's up then?

Where is it, Erin?

What?

Whatever you're using.

Seriously, Mags?

I told you I'm clean.

You don't think I've been lied to by drug addicts before?

- That's just mean.

- I'm not trying to be mean.

Maggie, I'm not gonna keep telling you.

You can't do that!

- Where is it?

- Are you serious?

Look, I'm not going anywhere, okay?

So you're gonna either tell me where it is, or you're gonna watch me find it.

This is crazy.

Why are you being such a bitch?

Maggie.

Just let them go.

Don't...

leave those alone.

- Maggie, don't touch them!

- Stop it!

Let them go.

It's aspirin.

A girl from down the hall gave it to me.

I had a headache.

It's true.

I'm...

I messed up.

I'm sorry.

- I've been trying.

- I know.

And it's just so much harder than I thought it was gonna be.

Please don't tell Mom and Dad.

They're gonna understand.

Erin.

I love you.

I'm here for all of it.

I called a rehab center in Stamford.

There is space for you.

I can take you there tonight if you're ready.
