That's Ellis's car, right there.
The black SUV, heading east on
rd Street and Brooklyn.
All right, all right.
Put out a BOLO right away
and let's get up on his phone
and into that vehicle's LoJack system.
We need to find out where he's going
and get there before he does.
Let's go, let's go!
Hey! You did really good, Zayne.
Okay, remembering the name
William was huge.
Everyone at the FBI is very grateful.
But more importantly, they
believe you now, all right?
They know that you were just
trying to be a good informant.
But you're gonna need to keep helping us,
so I need you to let those hostages go
before anyone gets hurt.
And if you do that,
I can get you a good deal.
Don't play me, Omar!
I want a... a car. No, an SUV!
And I want a jet.
No, no.
That is a bad idea, Zayne. Okay? Enough.
I don't care!
Do it, or I'll sh**t everyone in here.
- I swear to God!
- Zayne, Zayne, don't...

Jubal? We're tracking Ellis's SUV.
All right, eyes up.
He's crossed the Triborough.
Where's he going? Where's he going?
Heading west. To Washington Heights!
We just got up on his phone.
His Internet, there are lots of searches
relating to Trans For Life, a nonprofit.
Address is... th Street.
That's the target. Throw it up!
Get a team of agents
over there right away
and pull up any and all live video feeds
in and around the target.
Scola, head over to th Street now.
Ellis is gonna att*ck Trans For Life.
Trans For Life office is over there.
SWAT's clearing the building as we speak.
Are we sure Ellis is actually
here in the vicinity?
According to Jubal,
the last visual contact
was at rd and Riverside.
Probably found a place to park,
which means he's on foot walking north
towards the office building.
I'll go east, you go west.

No, I haven't seen him.
But what's up with that SUV?
It's clean, but the dogs
detected chemicals,
so it's likely a b*mb was in the vehicle
within the past hour or so, meaning...
Ellis is carrying it.
We also found a pamphlet
for another charity.
It's "Black and Proud NYC" on Broadway.
Could be we're chasing the wrong target.
- Okay, I'm heading west now.
- Okay, good.
I'm sending the SWAT team
there now to evacuate.
Hold up.
I see him.
He's wearing blue jeans, a tan jacket,

Okay, wait for backup.

Okay, okay.
