to try to get Salazar?

It's too early to tell.

We've focused on recovering the bodies.

But we're just getting started
on handling the wreckage now.

Priority right now is finding Salazar.

William started

He ran our fluid dynamics

So then why did you fire him?

He started missing work
three months ago,

and he was acting strange.

He claimed it was a medical issue.

What kind of medical issue?

He wouldn't say.

I suspected it might
be dr*gs or alcohol.

So I offered him help,
but he wouldn't take it.

Dan did, too, several times.

And Dan's the plant manager

Yes.

He was his direct report.

When we finally had to let William go,

Dan gave him the news.

William didn't take it well.

not this NTSB investigator?

Well, we've had plenty of visits

from the NTSB over the years.

It's just part of

Ray, you talked to Barlowe's wife?

She was pissed.

- You reach out to her?
- We can't.

She died in a car accident
near Summit last night

just after talking to Barlowe.

Now, it might be a coincidence,

but her car is at
an impound lot in Union.

We're gonna go check it out.

Damn, if this is somehow related...

I know, then this case
got a whole lot weirder.

That was Sierra Cahill's
editor at "The Times."

He doesn't know why
she was in New Jersey

She wasn't on assignment.

Well, this wasn't an accident, Ray.

How do you know?

was going a consistent 55 miles per hour



Now, there was impact
on the rear bumper,

and even though she braked, she actually

sped up before the impact.

So somebody ran her off the road.

Yes, and that's not all.

somebody opened the passenger door.

She wasn't there alone.

Yeah, but why would he

I came up through the b*mb Squad.

We ran simulations
on this scenario for years.

This was probably a cricket,
something small,

like a CO2 container,
maybe even a cherry b*mb.

Now, the good news is,

that bus is gonna contain the radiation,

so the city's safe.

Not until we get Barlowe, it isn't.

It's all hands on deck
with this one, Remy.

I'm heading downtown right now

to brief the NYPD chief
of Counterterrorism.

I'm going with you.

How the hell did Barlowe get his hands

on some radioactive material?

I was gonna ask you the same thing.

It's called a flow meter.

It measures volume and mass liquid

like the hydraulic fluid that
Gaskins was producing

at the plant in Philly.
That's where Barlowe got it.

- Why would he want this?
- Because of what's inside.

These are powered
by a radioactive element

called cesium-137. It's nasty stuff.

Comes in tiny metal rods, which
are missing from this one.

That's what the plant manager
and Simpson caught him doing.

How much cesium
are we talking about here?

For the cricket on the bus?

I'd say maybe 2 or 3 grams.

But these rods have
a lot more than that.



Barlowe still has 97 grams
of cesium on him.

That's enough to make
one hell of a dirty b*mb.

Do we have any idea who

or what else he might be targeting?

And we need to figure out why he bombed

that bus in the first place.

Could have been a practice run,

testing out his trigger and load.

Whatever his next target is,
the good news is,

the cesium will trigger
our radiation detectors.

We got them all over
the city on light poles,

helicopters, even planes.

And any alert
comes back to these monitors

so we can track them in real time.

Unless Barlowe has it shielded somehow.

Placing it in any sort of dense metal

can make it impossible to detect.

If this lunatic wants
to set off another b*mb,

he's gonna have to expose
that cesium at some point.

The question is, why?

Sierra was working
on a whistleblower story.

A deputy editor
was able to recover emails

and documents from our server.

Okay.

Your fugitive, William Barlowe,
discovered that the flow meters

used at Gaskins' fluid dynamics plant

were defective and leaking radiation.

Now, Barlowe carefully
documented the defects

and tried to bring them
to his supervisor's attention,

and when he did,
Gaskins Aerospace fired him.

[SCOFFS] Gaskins and her
HR guy lied to you.

They denied Barlowe
his bonus, his severance.

They gummed up his access to his 401[K].

Now, that's when Barlowe
contacted Sierra.

She had his documents.

Now, I assume she was meeting with him

last night to get him to go on record,

but then she got k*lled.

This whole thing is a cover-up.

Yeah, sure looks like it to me.

Barlowe knew that Sierra
had died in the car accident.

There was a newspaper article
at the RV this morning.

Maybe he saw that and snapped.

You know, started building
a b*mb for revenge.

How long were these
flow meters defective?

According to Barlowe,
at least six months.

That means any hydraulic
fluid manufactured by Gaskins

during that time could also be faulty.

We know that's what took down
the plane in Harrisburg.

Exactly.

Now, we're hitting the stands tomorrow

was Carter Wynn, head of HR at Gaskins.

I mean, Remy and I talked

They didn't fire Barlowe
because he was missing work.

No, you didn't.

And that's what makes you so detestable.

You knew Barlowe was sick,
and you covered it up.

He died for your company,
died for your sins,

all because you pray at the
altar of the almighty dollar.

Have you seen
your stock prices this morning?

They started tanking as soon
as this article came out.

[SIGHS]

The only person
left to save is yourself.

Just admit what you did.

I've done nothing.

Then why are you running?

We know you had the reporter
who wrote the story k*lled.

We caught the hit man you hired...

John Egan.

Told us everything.

He even showed us proof
of your payment to him.

[CHUCKLES]

You know, there's a part of me

that wants to let you fly to Rio

to see how confident
you are in your product.

But Agent Chase and I
have to get to a wedding today.

Hi, Ms. Gaskins.

Nice bag.

Put your hands behind your back, jackal.

Huh, well, enjoy this
while you can, Agent Scott.

You're under arrest
for solicitation of the m*rder

of Sierra Cahill.

Let's go.

Ray, do you take Cora to be
your wonderfully wedded wife?

I do.

Cora, do you take Ray

to be your wonderfully wedded husband?

I do.

I do too.

[LAUGHTER]

There we go.

All right, this is yours.

This is mine.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I now declare you husband and wife.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Hey! We did it!

[LAUGHS]

[UPBEAT FUNKY MUSIC]

♪ Sugar crash ♪

Oo-rah.

Shot of whiskey, please.

And a...

A champagne for me, please.

Actually, make that two.

♪ Sugar crash ♪

Thank you.

Look very handsome with that haircut.

Oh, I thought I'd
clean up for the wedding.

And you look... wow.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, save some bubbles for us.

You know, believe it or not,
I've actually done that before.

It was my mom's third wedding.

I drank all the champagne.

But there was a dollar store nearby,

so we just opened up a supply
line, and we were good.

[LAUGHTER]

Ethan, this is Remy and Abby.

- Hey, man.
- Nice to meet you.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Is there really good champagne
at a dollar store?

Absolutely not.

- But it did the job.
- Yeah.

Abby, it's good to see you.

I haven't seen you since St. Louis?

I know, I know, but that was a really...

that was a lucky trip.

To St. Louis.

- St. Louis.
- St. Louis.

Wow, look at that.

Oh, Barnes is here.

I knew she wouldn't miss it.
Let's go say hi.

Hi!

Hello. How you feeling?

- I'm all right.
- Yeah?

Good to see you.

Thanks for bringing her.

Of course.

Nina, Sheryll, this is Abby.

Hi. So nice to meet you.

The lawyer from St. Louis, yeah,

I've heard wonderful things.

And this is my friend, Ethan.

- Hello.
- Hi, friend Ethan.

No Scola?

No, he stayed home with Dougie

so Sheryll could be my hot date

and we could have a girls' night.

Nothing wild, don't worry.

We'll see.

A few sh*ts in, maybe.

[LAUGHTER]

Hey, what's up?

- Hi!
- Hi!

- I'm just glad you're here.
- You look amazing.

Oh, my gosh, you're glowing.

Oh, thank you.

That glow you see is two weeks
in Hawaii on the horizon

while Caleb stays here with his grandpa.

Yes.

And I see the air marshal made the cut.

- You look good, brother.
- Congratulations.

You two know each other?

Yeah, they kicked our butts

in a game of "Heads Up!"
a couple of weeks ago,

but, you know, it's whatever.

Hey, uh, Mark, can you
take some pictures for us?

- Yeah, no problem.
- Let's go over here.

- Okay.
- Everybody push together.

Oh, no, no, no, come on. Dates too.

Yeah, come on up.

- There we go.
- Nice.

Get a little bit in on the left.

All right, we ready? All right.

- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
- There we go.

Excuse me!

Excuse me, everyone, please.

Can I have your attention
for a moment, please?

Oh, Lord, my dad's got the microphone.

- Bring it in. Bring it in.
- All right, come on, guys.

- Oh, no.
- I'm gonna get us some drinks.

Yes, please, something strong.

Anything.

First of all, welcome.

Glad you're all here.

I am Ray Cannon Sr., the maker.

And on behalf of my family
and Cora's family,

I would like to welcome you all here

and thank you for being here.

I, uh, was gonna work a little bit blue,

you know, tonight,
rib my son a little bit.

But, uh... [LAUGHTER]

- Do it, Daddy!
- He deserves it!

No. No, no, no.

Instead, I'm just gonna say this.

You know, when you become a father,

there's always that moment when they

place the baby in your hand
that your whole world changes.

Some things get harder,

you know, like trying to get some sleep.

[LAUGHTER]

The truth of it is,
things get easier, really.

They get simple.

On the one hand, there's your family.

On the other hand,
there's the rest of the world.

And you will move heaven and Earth

to make sure that your family
get what they need,

what they want, so that they
can get one tenth of the joy

that you get from them.

Son, I wanted the world
for you, you know?

And then finding Cora and Caleb,

you got that yourself, the whole big,

beautiful, wonderful world.

I'm so happy for you.

And your mother, who I'm sure
is with us today,

she would be very, very happy.

So, Cora, Caleb, welcome to the family.

Welcome to our world.

- Cheers.
- ALL: Cheers.

Now, everybody,
before we open up the buffet

and get down to, you know,
all of that business,

I want everybody to grab a drink

and meet down in the lobby.

I've got a surprise for everyone.

Pops, what's the surprise?

What don't you understand
about the word "surprise"?

Everybody, grab a drink. Let's go.

Head them up, move them out.

Come on, guys, hustle it up!

I apologize for whatever
he's about to do.

Come on, everybody,
everybody, come on out.

Come on out. Come on out.

[UPBEAT JAZZY MUSIC PLAYING]

You made this happen, Pop?

A little taste of home for you, son.

- Yo!
- Aw, yeah.
