Hey, Tiff, what's up?

Okay, see you soon.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Traffic on the BQE was brutal.

Mm-hmm.

Sure you weren't having a good night

with one of your special lady friends?

I was in bed by : , alone.

If you say so.

How come you never have
a girlfriend, Scola?

Wow. Isn't even : a.m.

- I'm serious!
- I have no idea.

Come on, try harder.

Okay, fine. I have intimacy issues.

I already knew that.

Great, then there's nothing left to say.

Mystery solved.

- Come on, dig deep.
- That's not really my thing.

So you're just happy
being blissfully superficial.

That is exactly what I am.

How you doing? Special Agent Scola.

This is Agent Wallace.

Detective Valdez.

So what do we got?

Homicide. Male, white, age .

Got sh*t in the house, crawled outside.

Found two nine-millimeter
casings on the floor.

Neighbor going for a walk
sees him bleeding out,

calls it in.

Also sees a blue Toyota
zipping down the street

a few minutes before he spotted the DOA.

- They catch a plate?
- Only the first letter, K.

But that's not why we called.

Looks like he was sh*t right here.

Thought it was just another homicide.

Until we saw this.

All right,
so the victim's name is Elliot Young,

he was ,
unemployed auto mechanic, army vet,

former EOD technician.
Means he's a b*mb expert.

Yeah, he had chemicals, fuses,

and homemade blasting caps.

So our b*mb team is analyzing now,

but based on what they saw, they think

that he likely made

one large ammonium nitrate b*mb.

Which was not found in the house.

So that means the k*ller likely took off

with said b*mb. The question is, why?

Why k*ll Young? Why not just pay for it?

You know, why draw police scrutiny?

Signor Moran, you have anything done?

Yeah, I've been digging
through his financials,

and he definitely has some problems.

He defaulted on his home mortgage,

and he's over days
delinquent on two credit cards.

Okay, so maybe he's making bombs

to make money, not to further a cause

or political agenda.

- Hey, I just talked to DHS.
- Yeah.

There's no chatter about the sh**ting

or any imminent t*rror1st att*ck.

If the sh**t is a t*rror1st,

and the b*mb was taken to support

some upcoming terror event,

it's most likely a small group,

a splinter organization off the radar

of the intelligence community.

ERT says they didn't find
any hits on the DNA

or the fingerprints
recovered at the scene.

So we're nowhere.

Which is a sub-optimal place
to begin the investigation,

but I have a feeling somebody in here

is going to flip the script
and find me a lead.

Just got a video hit on the blue Toyota.

Matches the description
the neighbor saw.

Can you read the plate?

No, nothing.

But we know it begins with the letter K.

Okay, in the tri-state area,

there are exactly six

late-model blue Toyota Corollas

that have license plates
that begin with the letter K.

Now this is getting really crazy.

I feel like I'm on one of those shows

where they try to trick you

and then people start laughing.

This is not a TV show, Hannah.

And no one's laughing.

When did you meet this guy?

I met him six months ago
on a dating app.

We started talking, exchanging photos,

then he came to New York.

Said he was thinking of moving here.

- When was this?
- A few weeks ago.

And how often do you see him?

A few times a week. Maybe less.

He's busy all the time. He's a director.

He makes movies, documentaries.

in the m*rder of a man
named Elliot Young.

No, I've never heard of him.

But... but I think

Alberto is a really nice guy.

Just got a text confirming that.

We're gonna need

Yes, of course.

Okay, call him.

If he picks up, just make small talk.

He's not picking up.

Okay.

Okay, you ever met any of his friends?

Only one, Ernesto.

He's his partner
in the production company.

I'm supposed to meet him
later this morning.

Why?

To give him some money.

I'm investing in their new business.

- How much?
- , .

They need it to make a short film

to attract investors

so that they can make longer movies.

That's what they told me, anyway.

And you were planning to meet Ernesto

and give him that money today?

I actually was supposed
to do it yesterday,

but I had a hard time getting the money

out of my k.

Took longer than I thought.

Alberto was really upset.

He needed the money to make a deposit

on a studio space he was trying to rent.

Upset over being a day late.

Must be a reason.
Maybe there's a clock on this.

Maybe it's tied to an event...

- Anniversary or holiday.
- Yeah.

What time you supposed
to meet his partner Ernesto?

: .

Poor woman is blind.

But what is this grand about?

I mean, was Felix just looking for cash

to help finance the movement?

Or finance the purchase of a b*mb.

That's probably why he was so mad

about the money being late.

Why not wait another day?

- Because he couldn't.
- Why not?

It looks like the att*ck
was tied to the birthday

of another Venezuelan t*rror1st,

Ilich Ramirez Sanchez.

- Carlos the Jackal?
- Yeah.

Today is his birthday,
which is probably why

Felix couldn't wait.
He knew the clock was ticking.

And what better way to celebrate

the Jackal's birthday than to blow up

a symbol of American capitalism.

So now what?

Now we let Hannah take that
business meeting with Ernesto.

Just stay calm, okay?

Hand Ernesto the money,
and we'll arrest him.

I still think you're wrong.

There's no way Alberto
could have k*lled someone.

Or is a t*rror1st.

Look, his real name is Felix.

Okay? That much we know for sure.

Here.

We also know he's a member

of a violent socialist organization,

that he used your car
to commit a m*rder,

and that he is now in possession

of a highly destructive
expl*sive device.

Okay? We're not guessing here.

So the sooner you get on
board with this, the better.

Look, I know this is difficult.

The man you thought you knew,
Alberto, he doesn't exist.

It's very important

some kind of hero.

You got lucky.

That is the only reason
why you're still here.

Hey. This seat taken?

Bourbon, please.

I still can't believe what you did.

You ever, um,

talk to anyone about this?

About what?

Your brother.

And / .

I did the therapy thing for a few years.

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

It's a hell of a thing.

Losing someone you love like that.

I mean, look at Hannah, right?

She was so lost,

couldn't see the elephant in the room.

Yeah, she was definitely struggling.

But you know, I gotta give her credit.

She pulled herself out of that hole,

tried to feel something again.

Maybe you ought to try
to do the same thing.

You know, I haven't talked

to my brother's wife and kids
in five years?

We were supposed
to play tennis that morning.

And I stayed out late the night before.

And I got drunk.

- If I hadn't canceled...
- No.

That's not the reason he d*ed,

and you know that, Stuart.

If I can be honest?

Yeah.

I think you're using
your brother's death

so you can avoid making real connections

with real people.

And maybe it's time to move on.

Time to engage in the here and now.

Hey.

How you doing, Audrey?

I'm good.

It's been awhile.

Yeah. It sure has.
