You're doing such great work
on the account side, though.

Thanks, but I'm just not
happy there anymore.

Let me tell you something

your generation doesn't understand.

Not everything's gonna
make you happy all the time.

No, I get that.

But with your permission, I'd
love to shadow a copywriter.

People are always seduced

by the creative side of the industry.

I'd be mad at myself
if I didn't at least ask.

Fair enough.

[COUGHING]

- Sir, are you okay?
- My God.

That poor man.

I hope someone's called .

Adam? Adam... my God.

Adam? Adam?

- Help!
- You see that?

Help!

- Jerry!

- Help!
- What happened?

- How can I help?
- . Call .

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I need you to tag 'em.

- This way, this way.
- Coming in.

- And you got a...
- Salad bar across the street.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Special agents Maggie Bell, OA Zidan.

Detective Burns, NYPD.

- Six dead?
- Now it's eight and counting.

Did they just drop like flies?

Six in the plaza,
a couple more on the sidewalk.

Another hospitalized.

All within an eight-block radius.

Any updates from the hospital
about what it might be?

Not yet.

Symptoms?

Seizures, respiratory issues, paralysis.

Everything from dizziness
to numbness and abdominal pain.

So whatever this is,
it att*cks the human body

every way it can.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Any idea what the victims ate?

Not yet.

I imagine a doctor's probably
compiling that information.

Random people dropped?
Everyone else is okay?

Doesn't seem likely it was
a biological toxin in the air.

- Whoa, whoa.
- Whoa, whoa, ma'am.

You can't come in here.

It's three yards from the tape.

Is right here really that
different from back there?

♪ ♪

Can you tell me where
he got that salad from?

See if there's a sticker or receipt.

See if there's a receipt in that bag.

Yes, sir.

Living dangerously today, Agent Bell?

I don't like wasting time.

There you go.

The deli on Church.

It's three blocks north of here.

Thank you.

Let's see what other victims
bought lunch at that deli.

Thanks.

We've confirmed that at least
five of the victims

got their lunch
from your salad bar today.

There must be some mistake.

Any health code problems?

No, never.

My place is one of the cleanest
in the city.

Did you get your food
from any new suppliers?

No.

Anyone you know that might
want to att*ck you

or your store?

For what?

This place has been
in my family for years.

We are part of this community.

The best, the brightest,
the most powerful people

in the country work around here.

Maybe that's why you were targeted.

Security footage is ready.

Thank you.

Third angle catches the front
half of the salad bar.

Can you make it full screen?

[BEEPING]

There. : p.m.

That girl.

She doesn't take anything.
Not even a container.

We got a reverse angle on this?

This is all we got.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Can you go closer on that thing?

Could give us a reflection.

[BEEPING]

This is why they pay me the medium bucks.

That's pretty good.

It's ridiculously good.

♪ ♪

That girl just sprayed the salad bar.

♪ ♪

She poisoned the food.

♪ ♪

Turns out salad isn't always
the healthy choice.

Lab ID'd the poison from the salad bar

as synthesized tetrodotoxin,
also known as TTX.

It's not contagious... yay...

but that's where the good news ends.

It's odorless, flavorless,
extremely potent.

What else do we need to know, CDC?

Just one milligram can be fatal.

But every body reacts differently,

and at different speeds.

So we could see people die
over the next several hours?

Let's try to ID and notify every person

that ate at that deli today.

Some people who were exposed,

they might not even know it yet.

And I'm guessing synthesized
TTX isn't available

- at Duane Reade?
- That's a negative.

So this kid either has an A+ in chemistry

or is shopping on the dark web.

Or something.

Any chance we could ID her
off of facial recognition?

So far, nada. It uses DMV photos.

Most teenagers in New York
don't bother learning to drive.

Agents are canvassing the
neighborhood around the deli,

pulling video from cameras
to track our suspect.

We might have lost her around
Brooklyn Banks Skatepark,

but we did manage to catch this.

is from a red anarchist black metal band.

Okay, who's the new headbanger?

Special agents Bell and Zidan.

Special agent in charge Dana Mosier.

- Hi.
- You're the new boss.

Nice to meet you.

My daughter's school sent home a letter

last year about anarchist metal.

Hyper aggressive, highly political.

So it's not just about the music.

Nope, a small movement.
Amateurish, but intense.

Imagine activists screaming
at the top of their lungs

for the destruction
of American capitalism.

Right, but you think
that it inspires a kid

to poison a bunch of people
she doesn't know?

It could be a statement.

Most of the victims work
in the Financial District.

Nothing's more capitalist than that.

It could put the movement
on the map in a major way.

All right, well, as soon as we have

anything solid, we'll let you know.

As soon as you have anything,
you will let me know.

Sounds good, boss.

Heard good things about you two.

I have high expectations.

She walked in the door,

She could barely stand up,

so I grabbed her things and rushed here.

And now the doctors aren't sure
if she'll even wake up.

I'm so sorry, Ms. Sabatac.

I don't know why she ate
at that damn deli.

We never even go
to that part of Manhattan.

Do you have any idea
why Caroline was there?

Maybe a friend invited her.

If we could get the names
of Caroline's friends,

that would be really helpful.

Most of her friends are online.
I haven't really met them.

Why is all of this important?
My daughter's a victim.

We're looking at all victims,

seeing who they're connected to.

You think Caroline was targeted?

We don't know yet.

Has she had any issues with anyone?

Caroline's had a hard time
fitting in at school.

Kids her age can be cruel.

She's had to transfer twice
in the last two years

because of some pretty extreme bullying.

How long has this been going on?

Since her dad left.

When did he leave?

Five years ago.

Packed a bag and just...
disappeared from our lives.

Afterwards, she started acting out.

Acting out how?

Um...

It started with these, uh,
emotional meltdowns,

and then I kept finding her
burning things in her room.

Um, photos. Old clothes.

Sounds like she was really hurting.

It just made her a target,
and then that...

Made her act out more?

♪ ♪

Did Caroline ever mention
red anarchist black metal?

That terrible screaming music?

Um, I haven't heard her
listen to it for a while,

but I also made her wear headphones.

When you grabbed her things, did
you get her phone and laptop?

Her laptop's in her backpack.

Jubal's working on a warrant

for the apartment
and the locker at her school.

Won't take long before Mom figures out

that she's the culprit
and not the victim.

Caroline's laptop.

What'd you learn from her school?

Uh, repeated conflicts with
both teachers and students.

Last month a guidance counselor
found an online poll

where Caroline's classmates voted her

"Most Likely to be a School sh**t."

I know teenagers are brutal,
but that's dark.

Never mind the fact that, statistically,

girls don't even sh**t up schools.

No, female K*llers prefer poison.

Although not sure what anarchists prefer.

I will track her connections
to the metal movement.

And check to see if she's
been shopping for TTX

on the dark web.

Agent Bell.

Yeah, we'll be right there.

Remember the purse
ERT found in the alley?

Found a sprayer inside.

Thanks.

We pulled good prints off of it.

We'll match them as soon as you get a set

from your girl in the hospital.

You couldn't have just
told me that over the phone?

Oh, I could've.

I wanted you to see this.

Heart finally shut down,

It wasn't.

She didn't intentionally poison herself.

The sprayer was rigged.

if somebody else made her do that.

Well, the anarchist
metal group will be thrilled

with the chaos this att*ck has caused.

Law enforcement has always looked at them

as more of a nuisance than a real thr*at.

I guess that's about to change.

May have found something.

Caroline was using a hidden browser

to access a secure site
several times a day.

But I can't track down her login info.

Okay, American adolescent girl,

her Muslim father,
Islamic t*rror1st group.

Let's connect those dots.

Well, let's start with
an alienated adolescent girl.

Little supervision,

struggling to connect with anyone,

including her peers.

She had already started expressing anger

on violent online communities.

So, when she started researching Islam,

she was drawn to sites
that support v*olence

and fed her loneliness.

The Internet rabbit hole
spit her out at Dark Jihad.

We believe she was recruited by !sis.

Is !sis taking credit?

Yeah, and we know it's legit,
'cause NSA caught some chatter

on the !sis online circles
before the att*ck.

Any more since last night?

A couple of brief mentions
of victory in New York,

and we know that last year,
!sis supported a plan

to inject American grocers with cyanide.

So maybe this is take two.

Food supply's a soft target.
Hits on a primal level.

People scared to eat.

We've got , delis

scrambling across this city
looking to us.

Is it a one off? Or are there
gonna be more att*cks?

That depends on how many
more recruits there are.

- Hey.
- Hey.

So...

Dark Jihad is hosted on an
anonymous offshore server.

We're still working on access.

Can you get a court order?

Will we see who's using it?

If Caroline's any indication,
users mask their IPs

through proxies and VPNs.

Knowing !sis, this site's
probably just a gateway.

Right. They see who's
serious, move conversations

to an encrypted messaging app.

Uh, Caroline also had public
social media accounts.

There any trace of her
connecting with radicals there?

She didn't follow many users,

and she kept her posts pretty vague.

Probably intentional.

The same way that she made
herself look forgettable

- at the deli.
- Right.

But that doesn't mean they
didn't try to connect with her.

This is from yesterday.

"Today should be fun"?

She's talking about the
att*ck, but nobody knows that.

What was the response to that?

A lot of passive-aggressive

good grades and friends

I understand vulnerability.

You don't have to mansplain
the female teenage brain to me.

Okay, fair enough.

My point is, when I was undercover,

I saw my faith weaponized all the time.

They would find people whose
worlds felt incredibly chaotic

and use it to promise them
a sense of order.

But wanting to wear a burqa
is lightyears away

from wanting to poison innocent people.

It's a process.

Uh...

Tapping into something chaotic
and convincing them

that there's another way... a better way.

Okay, fine. I get order.

But in the end, what are these girls

actually getting out of this?

They're also promised respect.

Nita Kayali, born in Pakistan,

grew up in Connecticut, parents deceased.

No siblings, no spouse.

Kayali is the mastermind

but she used Greenbird as her
persona to recruit young girls?

I had the same thought, but Greenbird's

been active since Kayali's arrest.

Plus, ERT picked up
the backpack she mentioned.

The only skin cells on it were male.

What was in the backpack?

Guys, keep in mind the hierarchy.

Kayali was an early recruit.

She's older than the girl

It gives her a sense of power.

But you don't think she has any?

No, Greenbird played into her desire

for personal significance.

He earned her loyalty
by making her feel important.

Okay.

Of course I'm more than a messenger.

We don't see the evidence.

Greenbird provides the poison,
plans the att*cks,

brainwashes the girls.

- What do you do?
- Are you Muslim?

Of course.

Some of the recruits
think they're Muslim, too,

but they've just been sold
a phony Islam express ticket.

But you're in a leadership role,

so you probably know
your Quran inside and out.

Like Surah An-Nur, the fifth oath.

"And the fifth oath is that
the curse of Allah be upon him

should he be among the liars."

Good.

So you know it does not
turn out well for liars.

This was a nice touch.

Probably pushed a few girls
over the edge.

Was this your idea or his?

You know what? It doesn't matter.
