Hey, wait up.

You okay?

You're looking a little winded.

Yeah, I'm good.

Definitely need more cardio.

I thought you had a case to dictate.

A routine physical, labs all came back fine.

I figured I'd do it tonight at start of shift.

Everything all right?

Sorry, yeah, I just wanted to talk to you in person.

- Coffee?

- Oh, hi.

Thank you.

Just black, please.

So about...

about Tyler, what's going on?

- Something happen at school?

- No, no.

He's just been...

he's been sick the last few days.

Really?

How...

how sick?

I just talked to him on the phone yesterday.

I know.

He didn't want to worry you.

[TENSE MUSIC]

He didn't...

All right, Sam, what's going on?

He's been vomiting and running a high fever the last few days.

His eyes are really bloodshot.

It could just be a viral infection.

♪ ♪ But what?

♪ ♪ The pediatrician ran a blood test, said it looked concerning.

Concerning?

What does that mean?

He just said we need to see a specialist.

What kind of specialist?

A gastroenterologist.

♪ ♪ Victim's Nicole Wright, a doctor here at Hope General.

From what a coworker says, she comes from money, so we're assuming this might turn into a ransom situation.

That's why we asked for your assistance on this.

Copy that.

What do you know so far?

Suspect was a male, medium height, maybe ' ", was gloved up.

Had a p*stol in his right hand and wore a ski mask.

Witnesses say she offered up her purse, but the guy tossed it to the side.

Cell phone was inside it.

Okay, we need to take it down to Fed, scrub it for texts.

Suspect p*stol-whips Nicole's friend, then throws her in the trunk of grey BMW and drives off.

Anybody get plates?

No, there weren't any on the car.

- Perp must've taken them off.

- Okay.

What about the friend, the guy that got p*stol-whipped?

Did he hear or see anything interesting?

Not really.

Name's Adam Lee.

He's a doctor too.

Same hospital.

Poor guy couldn't even give us a clothing description.

All he remembers is the suspect's g*n in his face.

Understandable.

Okay, we're gonna need to look through the purse, find an emergency contact.

♪ ♪ Dr. Nicole Wright was targeted for a reason.

It's our job to help the NYPD figure out why.

So what do we know?

There's no restraining orders on file or red flags at the hospital she worked at.

Seems to be highly regarded, well-liked.

What about her social media profile?

She doesn't have one.

Checked everywhere.

She's not on dating apps either.

Then let's scrub the hospital's security cameras, look for any unreported confrontations.

And no word yet from the victim's family on any ransom demands.

All right, let's go, people.

We're looking for lead here.

A sniff.

Don't be shy.

I'm not buying the suspect randomly chose a rich, beautiful young doctor to grab.

This was an aggressive, very public abduction.

That tells me she was targeted.

Hey, guys, I might've found something.

Yeah?

I found this off a traffic cam five blocks away from the abduction site.

Yeah, yeah.

Eyes up.

[TENSE MUSIC]

It looks like he had an EZ pass that either fell off or was ripped off the windshield.

Oh, yeah.

It means the serial number may be visible.

Can you blow that up, see if we can get lucky?

Yeah, EZ pass comes back to a -year-old male, white, named Dr. Lucas Caldwell.

No criminal record.

Has a private internal medicine practice in Manhattan.

Did he report his car stolen?

No.

At least, not yet.

So he's in the same profession as our victim, and his car was used in the abduction.

In my book, that makes him a person of interest.

- Bring him in.

- Yeah.

Yeah, sorry.

I was just, uh, dealing with some personal business.

Yep, yes, I'm good.

What's up?

Uh, we got video from Caldwell's house.

Okay.

Keep going.

- All right, all right!

Well, I was wrong.

Dr. Caldwell isn't a suspect.

He's a victim.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

♪ ♪ [TIRES SQUEALING]

♪ ♪ Dr. Lucas Caldwell: Single, Yale undergrad, Harvard Medical School, Residency at Mass General.

Does he have any criminal history?

No, nothing.

Not even a speeding ticket.

Right, okay, so query number two: What is the connection between our two victims?

Why did this guy specifically target them?

Wright is an anesthesiologist.

Caldwell is an internist.

Odd combo.

Internists spend no time in the OR.

Anesthesiologists practically live there.

Begs the question: Why these two?

What did we find out about their personal life or professional life?

They don't appear to know each other at all.

They have no common acquaintances.

Don't live in the same area.

Different ages.

All right, well, keep digging.

Let's go over the timeline of the abductions.

Maybe that'll give us a clue into the, uh, motive.

Uh, the timestamp on Dr. Caldwell's video doorbell shows that his abduction took place at : a.m.

Dr. Wright was approximately taken an hour and a half later.

Just wanted to point out that the trunk size of the grey BMW is cubic feet.

Dr. Caldwell is about pounds and feet tall.

Which means it's highly doubtful he was still in the trunk of the BMW when Dr. Wright was placed there.

All right, so the abductor either stashed or k*lled Caldwell before grabbing Wright, but the question is why?

There has to be a nexus.

We find that, we find our suspect.

Okay, we have two victims, both doctors, no connection personally or professionally.

Mm.

What if they were targeted...

not for who they are, but for what they do?

This is crazy.

Why would someone kidnap Dr. Caldwell?

We're trying to figure that out.

Have you gotten any phone calls from anyone asking for money or ransom?

No.

And over the past few weeks, have you noticed anything unusual?

Angry patients?

Strange phone calls?

No, nothing like that.

We're a concierge practice, available to our patients / .

It's not cheap, of course, but our patients really seem to like it.

♪ ♪ Does Dr. Caldwell have any partners?

Yes, one.

Dr. Nelson.

But he was...

What is it?

I'm sorry, uh, this has been a crazy week.

Um, first Dr. Nelson gets in a car accident, and now Dr. Caldwell?

Dr. Nelson isn't at work?

No, he's in the hospital.

Induced coma.

I'm sorry to hear that.

What kind of doctor is Nelson?

Anesthesiologist.

♪ ♪ We're gonna need access to all of the clinic's phone records and e-files.

Dr. Caldwell's partner is an anesthesiologist.

So is Dr. Wright.

That can't be a coincidence.

Why would Dr. Caldwell have an anesthesiologist as a partner in the first place?

It doesn't make any sense.

That's pretty odd, right?

I feel like we're missing something.

What about Caldwell's history?

Was he always an internist?

He spent two years as a surgical resident at Mass General before leaving the program to go into internal medicine.

Five years later, he started the concierge practice with Dr. Nelson.

Just found something.

Might be nothing, but over the past five weeks, the same cell number has repeatedly shown up on both their phone records.

Five, six times a day, every day.

Okay.

Run it.

♪ ♪ Cell number is registered to...

this guy, Lorenzo Santos.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

So what was he locked up for?

He's been in and out of jail for the last decade.

A couple of as*ault charges, a narcotics violation.

Also appears to have a lot of connections with this Mexican street g*ng, Loco- s.

Why would a guy like this be in constant contact with a concierge medical practice?

g*ng banging is a dangerous business.

Maybe they made a deal with Caldwell so that if someone gets injured, they know where to go.

This guy's the same approximate height and weight as our masked man.

Did Lorenzo come to you, or you go to him?

I hit him up.

My friend sold him one last month, so...

I knew he was good for the grand.

You only need one, right?

When was this?

Yesterday.

A couple of doctors did it at some private clinic.

What clinic?

Where is it?

Don't know.

Lorenzo made me wear a hood while we drove there.

Have you seen these two people before?

Yeah.

The man's one of the doctors that took my kidney.

Don't know who that lady is, though.

Let's run the facts.

Gentleman on the left is Dr. Terrence Nelson, Caldwell's medical partner and the second surgeon involved in the removal of Pedro's kidney.

These two have a side hustle going doing illegal organ transplants until Nelson, an anesthesiologist, gets into a serious car accident.

Which means Caldwell can't operate.

You can't do a transplant without an anesthesiologist.

Right, so the abductor kidnaps one.

Which means our suspect is most likely the guy who paid for Pedro's kidney, either for himself or for a family member who needs a transplant.

[SIGHS]

Right.

Well, I'm guessing the latter, because our masked man doesn't look or move like he's in kidney failure.

All right, so we should be digging into Caldwell's medical records, focusing on the most recent lab orders.

- Where are we?

- Just got something.

Looks like Pedro's labs were cross-matched with a patient by the name of Tony Diaz, years old, lives in Queens.

Any parent or guardian listed?

[TENSE MUSIC]

The father is Octavio Diaz, years old.

Here on a temporary visa while applying for asylum.

- Octavio Diaz.

- What else do we know about him?

It says on his application that he's a high-ranking soldier from Jalisco, Mexico.

Well educated, fought against the drug cartels.

Some sort of special narcotics detail.

His claim is he'll be k*lled if he's sent back.

♪ ♪ That's a physical match for our masked man.

Let's track him down.

Now.

Yep.

♪ ♪ Where's your husband, Octavio?

I don't know.

Ma'am, we need to talk to him right away.

Why are you looking for him?

Come on, you know why.

We know about your son, Tony.

That your husband's working with Dr. Caldwell trying to get him a new kidney off the books, so please just tell us what you know.

We need to find your husband and your son so we can get him the medical attention that he needs.

We already tried that.

Talked to different transplant doctors.

Begged them to get Tony on their recipient list, but we are not in the insurance system.

Said there was nothing they could do.

Now my son is so sick he can't eat or walk.

[SOMBER MUSIC]

He's only years old, and he's going to die if he doesn't get a new kidney.

Ma'am, we understand, but we think that your husband is endangering your son, trying to force two doctors to do a very complicated surgery.

He needs to go to a hospital.

I told you, we tried.

They won't do anything.

Just call him.

♪ ♪ Wait, if Caldwell and Nelson are doing off-the-book transplants, they'd need their own surgical centers, somewhere sterile, safe, out-of-the-way.

No way they'd use somebody else's.

Yeah, dig into their finances.

Check to see if they're paying rent on any other facilities.

Yeah, and check purchases for surgical equipment over the past few years.

Nine months ago, Caldwell & Nelson LLC, owned by Caldwell, bought over a $ , worth of medical equipment and devices.

There it is.

Okay, is there an invoice on file, and does it have a delivery location listed?

Went to a warehouse in Brooklyn.

I'm just trying to help you.

So then do the operation.

It's so much smarter to do the operation at the hospital with the technology and the resources.

Look, I'm a father.

I know what it's like to be scared.

To be worried that your son, this boy that you love so much you can't even describe it, could die, I get that.

And if I were you, I might do the same thing.

Yeah, but you're not me, okay?

You're rich.

You're white.

You've never been in this position ever.

So you don't get to tell me how to do this.

Okay, but all I'm saying is the best way to save Tony's life, and yours, for that matter, is let the FBI take your son to the hospital.

Let them do the procedure properly there.
