- What do we know?
- Nothing good.
You're looking at four dead
and we've got three in the ICU in
New York Presbyterian.
- Okay, witnesses?
- Tiff and Scola are on it.
What about security footage?
It's already sent to the JOC.
Carla, what do you got?
We need our lab to isolate
the exact chemical signature,
but it looks like the device
was a timer detonated
exothermic charge mixed with
ball bearings and nails.
- That sounds like an Iraq IED.
- Absolutely.
And I checked with my colleague
at the Newark office.
It's basically the same b*mb
that went off three weeks ago
at the IRS building in Jersey.
Except the Newark bomber d*ed
delivering that package.
So who's behind this?
So you were in the bathroom
when the b*mb went off?
No, no I was on my way back, all right?
I just got into the lobby and... boom.
I mean, I'd be dead if it wasn't for
my prostate being swollen up
like a grapefruit.
Did you spot anything else
out of the ordinary?
That's the thing.
St... Stacy Rose, right?
She's... she's a lawyer up on
the third, you know?
She was coming through the line.
She gives my buddy, Bill, a vegan donut.
Man, she... she brings us
two every day, you know.
I'm sorry, man.
So you saw Stacy Rose go in,
and then what happened?
I think the b*mb was in
the kid's backpack.
All right listen up, people.
Security cam confirms
that the b*mb was tucked in
to Evan Rose's backpack.
Looks like the kid is gonna make it,
but assuming young Evan is
not a five-year-old t*rror1st
with an axe to grind means
somebody must've planted it.
And we know it was not Trey Dawkins,
the New Jersey bomber, because
he d*ed in the IRS blast.
So priority one, find the new suspect.
Priority two, figure out
if these two bombings were related.
Let's make sure nothing else
is coming down the turnpike, people.
Let's go to work.
What about the deceased
mother of the little boy,
Stacy Rose... What do we know about her?
It doesn't seem likely. She was an AUSA.
Checks out as squeaky clean.
Plus, if you're going to be
carrying in a su1c1de b*mb...
You might as well carry it yourself.
Right, so who else had access
to Evan Rose's backpack?
I just scrubbed the building's footage
for Stacy and Evan's approach.
No one touched the backpack
anywhere on the grounds.
Well, let's retrace
their steps even further.
What is their morning commute like?
Are they subway riders?
Ride share people?
A witness said that Stacy
brought the guards
vegan donuts every day.
Could be that the bomber
knew her routine?
There's a vegan bakery
food truck that parks
just around the corner from
the courthouse every morning.
Good. Let's have
Maggie and OA check it out.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, um, can I borrow you a second?
I know we're still figuring
each other out
in terms of a working relationship,
but, uh, you should know I'm
a big believer in transparency.
Okay.
I wanted to give you a quick heads up.
I already got a call
this morning from DC.
The director is getting a lot of heat,
which means I'm getting a lot of heat.
He wants this case closed fast.
I get it. People blowing up
federal buildings is not a good look.
Right, um, but it could be
a really good look
for the Bureau and for you if
we do close this case quickly.
I thought you were being transparent.
Excuse me?
Closing this case quickly is
good for your career, right?
Okay, how about this?
It is in both of our best interest
if we catch this bomber
as soon as possible.
Is that better?
Yeah, a little.
Good.
Hey, they said
Stacy and Evan are regulars.
They didn't notice anything out
of the ordinary this morning,
and there are no cameras on the truck.
Well, looks like this bodega
cam's our best bet.
- Assuming it still works.
- Only one way to find out.

Did you just see that?
Yep.
Guy just switched the bags.
That's our bomber.
So he must've been
casing the courthouse.
Found a mule and then
figured out their routine.
No one would ever look at
a five-year-old kid.
Question is, who is he? s, tall...
I mean he's too covered up.
This isn't enough for facial rec.
I'm going to take it back.
Hold up.
Look there. It looks like a trident
branded into his left forearm.
Yeah, he could be ex-navy,

Okay, let's meet Ryan Davis.
Visual comparison with
the footage of the bakery truck please.

So what else do we know about this guy?
Lieutenant Ryan Davis was a Navy Seal.

you need to help us first.
Tell us what you know.
Start with what you said to
my partner before I tackled you.
"Don't pretend that you respect us."
Who's us?
You're looking at four counts of m*rder.
Five if that boy
that you planted that b*mb

The only way you're gonna

Fine. We'll do this one at a time then.
How do you know Aaron Walsh?
How do you know Patrick Carr?
How do you know Trey Dawkins?
You just told us you do.
Why don't you tell us how?
I'm not saying another word
until I speak with a lawyer.
All right, so
here's what we know so far.
According to our lab team,
Trey Dawkins and Ryan Davis,
they set off chemically identical bombs.
And before he lawyered up,
Davis, he seemed to
indicate that he knows Dawkins.
So we got two islands off the coast.
We need to know what makes them
an archipelago.
You know, it's a group of
islands that share
the same geological origin? Never mind.
Point is, Dawkins, Davis,
what is their point of nexus?
Are they a part of some militia?
And if so, are there
more bombs on the way?
Well, they're from
different service branches.
No social media interaction,
and phone records show they
never even called each other.
I think I got your archipelago, Jubal.
Kelly Moran, go.
Cross referenced
Davis and Dawkins credit cards,
and they're both customers
at the Garrison Lodge.
What are we looking at?
Well according to our database,
it's a members-only club for
combat vets in Staten Island.
And A*F has it flagged as being
under active surveillance.
All right, I'm going to
rendezvous with A*F,
- wee what I can find out.
- Yeah.
The Garrison Lodge? Yeah, we've been up
on the place six months, but we still
got more questions than answers.
What's the scope of your investigation?
Well, it comes up tangentially
in the illegal g*n market a lot.
Buyer gets caught with
a fully a*t*matic r*fle,
he's a member. Rumors of trophy weapons
coming back from Iraq.
Picked them up in Staten Island.
Meaning someone inside the Lodge
is likely running g*ns, but we've had
zero luck getting an undercover inside.
- Why's that?
- Place is too tight-knit.
We can't risk a raid.
Last thing we want to do
is sh**t it out Waco style
with a bunch of vets on a hunch.
That would be a PR nightmare.
Yeah, so the best we can
give you right now
is access to our pole-cam feed
and a roster of members.
Okay, thank you,
and obviously we will
reciprocate in any way we can.
- Hold on.
- What?
- I know one of these names.
- Someone we've worked?
Chris Zapata, he's a friend of mine.
We served together in the th.
You two stay in touch?
Actually, we talked two weeks ago.
He got wrote up on
a federal weapons charge.
I told him that I would call the AUSA
and vouch for his character.
Stuff like that.
Good. Well then, he needs a favor.
Use it. Get what we need.
Okay, just so you know, I think Chris
is still adjusting now that
he's back on the home front.
- Okay.
- And the weapons charge,
he said that he bought an M
because it felt weird
not to have a service w*apon nearby.
I mean, I can only imagine how difficult
- it would be to reacclimate.
- But he's a good man.
The closest thing I've ever met
to a real life American hero.
Chris.
[LAUGHS]
What's up, buddy? How are you?
Good.
This is Maggie Bell, my partner.
- Hey, nice to meet you.
- Same.
Partner, huh? This FBI business?
It is.
I know I told you that I would help you
with, uh, that M possessions charge,
but something came up.
Something we need your help with.
It should help us
get those charges dropped.
Sounds good.
We need to know about the Lodge.
Like what?
For starters, what goes on inside.
Trey Dawkins was a member.
He blew up the IRS building.
We just picked up
another member, Ryan Davis.
He's responsible for
the federal courthouse bombing.
Damn, man, that's uh...
I mean it's a bar, OA.
You know, guys just drinking.
Venting their frustrations
about how bad it feels
to get chewed up
and spit out by the service.
Yeah, like the barracks.
That's exactly what it's like.
You get me inside?
I mean, don't take this
the wrong way, but no.
It's not a country club where you can
just show up with a guest.
The place only has members,
and everyone's checked out
before they get an invite.
They'll sniff you out as
an outsider a mile away.
- Outsider? I'm a vet.
- You a Fed.
What about Davis and Dawkins?
Do you know them very well?
Uh, a little.
They mostly kept to themselves.
Did you see them speaking with anyone?
The only person ever I saw
them hang out with
- was the owner.
- You know the owner's name?
All right, so Nick Hawthorne,
owner and bartender of
The Garrison Lodge
is a former college debate champ.
Army major, spent months in Iraq
without ever leaving the green zone.
And most importantly, the recipient
of several phone calls from
both Dawkins and Davis
in the weeks leading up to each bombing.
Sounds like an armchair general to me.
Well, yeah, based on the phone calls,
that might be
exactly what we're looking at.
What if Hawthorne had an axe to grind
with the federal government?
You know, passed over
for a promotion. Wanted to be a general.
And he's recruiting
struggling vets from his bar
to do his dirty work for him.
Yeah, the only problem is
the phone calls themself
aren't actually proof of a crime.
But they're good enough for a warrant.
Let's talk to this guy.
We need information.
Yeah.
Nick Hawthorne, FBI, we got a warrant
to search the premises.
I guess you better come inside.
Mind if I ask what this is about?
Got you on record taking dozens of calls
from Trey Dawkins and Ryan Davis.
What happened to Davis?
He bombed the federal courthouse.
I see.
You don't seem that surprised.
Well, I'm not.
Both those guys were really struggling.
And they came to you for advice?
Yeah, we're friends.
Whole reason I opened the Lodge
is so guys like that
- would have some place to go.
- Guys like what?
Vets... who are tired of the piss poor,
patchwork help they've gotten
since coming home.
Tired of the lack of respect.
And do you two
have any idea how many
homeless vets there are?
How many are struggling with
substance abuse and PTSD?
And it's not exactly like
Jane and Johnny Libtard care.
There are a lot of ex-soldiers
who are rightfully angry.
What about you?
No more so than average.
Then again, I'm not starving
or having my wages garnished
by the IRS like Dawkins.
And I don't have three platoon mates
who are staring down
prison time for stealing
opioids from the VA after some navy doc
got him hooked on that crap
in the first place.
Are you saying you condone
attacking government buildings?
Doesn't matter what I condone.
v*olence is an individual choice,
but I doubt the bombings will stop until
some systemic wrongs have been righted.
Scola.
- What did we find?
- Nothing.
- What do you mean nothing?
- I mean nothing.
No b*mb residue, no chemicals.
Not even a handgun.
- What about the computer?
- Clean.
Might as well be
the demo computer at Best Buy.
Okay, well check
the place one more time.
I'm gonna head to the office.
Guy definitely thinks
he's the smartest kid in the class.
Yeah, well let's show him that he's not.
I heard we came up empty
at Nick Hawthorne's.
Uh, yeah, but Tiff and Scola
both came back
convinced that Hawthorne is
the brains behind the bombings.
Okay. Good, let's, uh, chase that.
That's the plan.
Yeah, we're trying to
get inside the bar.
Look, Isobel,
I'm a... I'm not trying to...
I'm not playing games here.
Okay? What's good for me
is good for you.
We're a team.
Well, I appreciate that.
But do you believe it?
OA...
- You wanted to see me?
- Yes, please. Have a seat.
We need to get eyes and ears
inside the Lodge.
I agree, but according to A*F
that's almost impossible, right?
Which is why we need to
use your friend, Chris Zapata.
Using Chris isn't a good idea.
- He is our only option.
- I understand that, Isobel,
but the thing about Chris
is that he is...
Struggling.
Readjusting to civilian life,
if you know what I mean.
I get it, OA, I do, but we need him.
Okay? If he chooses to cooperate,
I will do everything I can
to get his weapons charge dismissed.
If he cooperates?
He already has given us information.
He has already cooperated.
He's already helped us.
That should be enough
to drop the charges.
It's not enough.
It might reduce the charges
or lessen the sentence,
but the US Attorney's Office isn't
just gonna dismiss this case.
OA, if he is struggling,
spending time in prison...
Any time in prison... is only
going to make things worse.
This is a win-win.
Then I will, uh, try and sell it to him.
Wasn't expecting you two so soon.
If I knew you guys were coming
I would've thrown away the pizza boxes.
We've been looking into Nick Hawthorne
based on what you told us about
Dawkins and Davis.
We think that he's been
taking advantage of them.
- How?
- Well by feeding
into their anger and
then sending them on patriotic
missions to strike against
places where vets
have been mistreated.
But we cannot be certain
of that until we get
somebody inside the Lodge.
No, no. I'm not a snitch,
and the Lodge is the only place
in this country
I feel at home right now.
- And Hawthorne's a good guy.
- Mm.
Show him the picture.
We've not released that
to the public yet,
but one of the victims
was at the courthouse
was a little kid on his way
to the lobby daycare.
Davis put a b*mb into his backpack...
We believe because Hawthorne ordered it.
And good guys do not
hurt kids right, Chris?
Yeah, OA told me
the story on the way over here.
Said that one time in Mosul
you charged into
a burning school bus filled
with kids before it exploded.
Wasn't their fault
the neighbors were insurgents.
- Hawthorne did this?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, look, I know
he's trying to help vets,
but this is not the right way to do it.
All right, I'm in.
Tell me what I need to do.
You ready?

All right. This is your earpiece.
I'm gonna be in your ear the whole time.
All right? This is a button cam.

Okay.
Now why don't you explain
to me the layout of this place?
All right, bar in the front.
There's a hallway
that leads to the latrine
and kitchen in the back.
Simple.
This is magnetic.
Your job is to stick it
anywhere in the bar so that
we can hear and see
whoever Hawthorne is grooming next.
Got it.
What's that, Chris? Huh? What is this?
Dude, dude, I told you, this
is a place where people carry.
No, that is all

Hey, just talked to
the U.S. attorney's office.
They're still working to see
if Taylor and Maxwell
are willing to flip
on their leader, Hawthorne.
Any progress so far?
No, they are doing
the loyal soldier thing,
protecting their commanding officer.
Oh, there's nothing
wrong with being loyal
to your commanding officer.
Uh, well, the good news is
that we have the bombmaker
in custody and we officially
have all of the expl*sives
accounted for, so we won.
Hey, guys, we have a problem.
A*F pole cam showed
your friend, Chris Zapata,
pulling into the Lodge parking lot.
He's still sitting in his truck, but...
[TENSE MUSIC]
- What the hell is he doing?
- He's completing his mission.
When I told him we got
his weapons charges dropped,
he asked me about Hawthorne.
I told him we didn't
have enough to arrest him.
That didn't make him very happy.
Okay, who else is in the bar right now?
- Right now, just Hawthorne.
- Call him.
Tell him to lock the doors
and to hide anywhere
before Chris gets out of that truck.
Let's go.
Chris, it's OA. Call me back, man.
Okay, whatever you're thinking
about doing, please do not.
Just call me.
JOC said that Hawthorne isn't picking up
the bar line, either.
Guys, Zapata just
stepped out of his truck,
- and he's carrying a p*stol.
- Copy that.
We're almost there. Hold on.
Hey, he just entered the bar.
♪
- Turn around.
- Zapata?
Turn around!
What are you doing, man?
I'm going to do this on camera.
What are you doing, Chris, huh?
Like you said. You guys need evidence
to send this scumbag to jail.
No, not like this, man. Not like this.
You gave me a mission, Captain.
I'm going to finish it.
So now you got three seconds
to admit on camera
that you ordered Davis and Dawkins
to b*mb those buildings,
or you'll end up like those
people in that courthouse.
- Three...
- No.
- Two!
- Chris, Chris...
Chris, hey, hey, I need you
to put the g*n down.
I need you to stop
for a second and think, okay?
He's playing chess with broken pawns.
You think it's my fault
those guys took justice
into their own hands?
No!
Dawkins hated the IRS and
Davis hated the legal system
because over and over again,
our country's institutions
turned their backs on them,
ignored them.
You're fighting for a system
that could care less
about guys like us, man.
Those soldiers were in pain.
It's a soldier's job to eat the pain.
No it's not, Chris.
All right? No, it's not, okay?
And it's not your job to take
down Hawthorne all by yourself.
So put the g*n down, and if you do that,
we can walk back from this.
You can still live a good life, man.
Put your g*n down, soldier.
[SCREAMS]
No, no, no, no.
He's dead.
[SIGHS]
OA, um...
how'd it go at the hospital?
Uh, they have Chris in
a psychiatric hold for now,
and he's still staring down
a m*rder or a manslaughter charge.
I am sorry.
Listen, I know that this
is, uh, not the best time
to discuss all this,
but we... we have to talk
about what goes in your official report.
What's that supposed to mean?
I mean your informant sh*t a suspect,
and we have to be thoughtful
in how we explain that.
You're not asking me to pretend
that we didn't know
he was struggling, are you?
Isobel, Chris sh*t Hawthorne
because we weaponized him,
because we took advantage
of a struggling vet
against my objection
to help us solve a case.
And now my friend's going to jail.
OA, we did what we had to do
to keep people safe.
That is our job.
You're gonna get your report
tomorrow morning,
and it'll say everything
it needs to say, but I...
I don't think either of us
deserve much sleep tonight.
