[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[SIRENS WAILING DISTANTLY]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hey, honey.

Did you check the top drawer?

[CHUCKLES] Actually, you know what?

I might've left it by the barbeque.

Okay, great.

Yeah, leaving the office in about .

Love you.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]



Are you JohnDoe ?

[CHUCKLES]

And you're the famous Art Weller.

[LAUGHS]

Famous is kind of an overstatement.

No, no, no.

To me, you're very, very famous.

- Okay, well...
- [CHUCKLES]

How I usually do this
is just jump right in.

- Are you ready?
- [LAUGHING]

Of course.

[GASPS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GROANS]

I also like to get right to it.

[GROANING]



You always walk to work?

I live in Brooklyn,
so that would be a hike.

I take the subway. You?

My car's in the shop,

so I figured I'd hoof it today
for the exercise.

Nice running into you though.

Maybe we could make this a thing.

- Yeah.
- Agent Gibson.

My name is Anthony Esposito.

I'm a PI doing some work for a lawyer.

As they keep reminding me, "barrister."

Relax, it's just this.

Instructions were to hand deliver it.

Apparently, the New Zealand
lawyer couldn't find me,

so he hired a PI to track me down.

Did you know she was in New Zealand?

No, not really.

I mean, I knew I was part Maori,

so I guess it makes sense.

So when you sent that email...

What email?

A few months ago,
I reached out to my birth mom.

Decided I finally wanted to meet her.

Now I guess I know why
she never replied.

The lawyer was tracking
her email and I'm in the will,

so here we are.

- She left her grand.
- [PHONE RINGING]

Ugh, I don't care about the money.

- No, of course not.
- Hello?

That's a lot to process.

You think you'll call the lawyer?

I don't know.

I haven't made any decisions yet.

- I think I need some time.
- Yup.

- Thanks.
- That was C.I.D.

High profile homicide in Washington.

Senator Lundell of Virginia
personally asked

that we take over the manhunt
from Metro police.

Who's the victim?

Didn't say, jet's ready to go,

but apparently this is a sensitive case.

Gonna take another hour for them

to get the clearances
to send us the file.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

- Why don't we do this?
- You stay here,

wait for the file,

take a minute to process that letter,

we'll head down to DC,
and you can catch up with us.

Sound like a plan?

That works. Thank you.

I hope they have snacks on the plane.

- I'm starving.
- They don't.

I like the little cheese crackers

and, you know, bags of pretzels.

- What'd Hana say?
- She's on her way.

Hitching a ride with some DOJ bigwigs.

- File come through yet?
- Still downloading.

She said they added extra encryption.

Not what I expected when I
heard high profile case in DC.

Maybe the senator requested us

because he's related to the victim?

I don't think that's it.

Oh, joy, the internal
asshat squad is here.

You gonna be looking
over our shoulders all day?

- Sorry to disappoint.
- We're not IA.

FBI. We got this, Sergeant.

Enjoy your crime scene.

All right, victim's name is Art Weller.

He was a journalist for
the "Washington Star Tribune."

Army veteran. Married, no kids.

Senator Lundell was working with him

on a story about
DC Metro police corruption.

That explains the warm welcome.

Do we have a crime scene report?

- Yeah.
- No prints other than Weller's.

Blunt trauma to the neck.

Some kind of sharp object,
probably a Kn*fe,

shredded both deltoids, his biceps,

- and cut his cephalic vein.
- Fugitive hit him

in the throat
so he couldn't yell for help.

Then cut his muscles
so he couldn't fight.

That's why there's no signs of struggle.

He could've known his attacker

or maybe opened the door for someone

he thought looked official
like an employee.

- Or a cop.
- Yeah.

- Was his carotid sliced?
- No.

And none of his wounds were fatal.

In fact, cause of death was blood loss.

His death was slow.

They wanted him to suffer.

- He.
- He wanted him to suffer.

Preliminary reports says
he was also r*ped.

We've got DNA, but no matches yet.

- Could've been consensual.
- Internet hookup gone wrong.

Married man in a seedy motel room.

You know, I didn't see
any security cameras.

We have any witnesses?

Well, apparently
the cops canvassed the motel,

but of course, nobody saw a thing.

If we're dealing with corrupt cops,

we have to double-check
those statements.

Have Hana pull Weller's cell records.

We need to find out
why this guy was here.

Do we have a list of what
the police took into evidence?

Yeah, says here they only took his body.

So where's his computer?

Let's talk to Weller's wife.

Ortiz, grab Hana and see what
you can dig up at his office.

Roger that.

Motel room.

It must've been for work.

Sometimes his sources
didn't want to meet in public.

We're looking into his work,

but Mrs. Weller,
sometimes people feel the need

to hide their sexuality,
especially in the army.

I told you Art wasn't gay,

and if he was, it wouldn't be a secret.

His brother's gay and
his family is very supportive.

[VOICE BREAKING] Oh, my God.

I'm gonna have to tell his family.

It would be helpful if we
understood Art's personal life.

Is it possible
he was seeing someone else?

Male or female?

An affair? No.

For ten years,
he's been home every night.

It's one of the reasons
why he left the army

because we love spending time together.

- Yeah, deployments are hard.
- I understand.

Had you noticed over the past few weeks

that he'd been behaving
differently at all?

Not really.

I mean, he's always worried
about his stories.

And there was one
in particular recently...

- On police corruption.
- Yes.

- Had he been threatened?
- I don't think so,

but he was worried that
powerful people could get upset.

He didn't say too much to me,

but I know he did talk about it
with Chris.

- And who's Chris?
- Ashtels.

His best friend from his army days.

That's him.

They went to dinner last week
and got into some argument.

Then Art came home and was really upset.

- What'd they argue about?
- Art wouldn't say.

- Chris a journalist too?
- No, he runs a nonprofit.

He's a very Christian man.

His foundation helps at-risk youth.

Just when you think you've seen it all.

- You guys sure it was Art?
- Yeah, we are.

- Oh, man.
- He was a hell of a reporter.

The kind every editor dreams about,

but even better, he was a good person.

Cared about the truth.

Not the truth where
you cherry-pick facts,

but the actual, strip it all back

and let the chips fall truth, truth.

Yeah, we're gonna need
access to his computer.

Do you know what stories
he was working on?

Here it was Covid relief
fraud and cop corruption.

- You said here.
- Did he work somewhere else?

Journalism's a dog with
three of its legs sh*t out.

Art also wrote for the blogs,

"Weatherly Post" and "DC Renaissance."

You think one of his stories
got him k*lled?

Got it.

People aren't always happy
to be confronted

with the truth, are they?

Look, don't delete anything.
I know I sound like a vulture,

but someone's gonna write about
this and I'd rather it be me.

- So keep me in the loop, huh?
- Sure.

His phone was a bust.

Maybe he keeps his appointments on here.

Kay.

[SIGHS]

Weekly poker night, couple of lunches...

Doesn't seem like
he kept his schedule here.

What about his story files?

Kristin and Remy are gonna
interview Art's best friend.

- Mm-hmm.
- Check this out.

These are the dates and times
the files were last accessed.

He hasn't touched his Covid

or police corruption stories in weeks.

So if he's not working on this,

what is he working on?

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

That must be his wife.

He's looking pretty serene

for a guy who might've
just committed m*rder.

Secret affair with his best friend

doesn't exactly fit
his family values brand.

He'd have a lot to lose
if Art wanted to come out.

- [b*llet WHOOSHES]
- [GRUNTS]

- Hey, hey!
- [ALL CLAMORING]

Everybody down!

- Everybody down!
- Down, now! Run!

- [b*llet WHOOSHES]
- [SHOUTS, GROANS]

Everybody down.

- Stay down. Stay low.
- Run, run.

- Run, move!
- Get down!

- [GROANS]
- No!

[SOBBING] No, please!

Please, please.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- He's dead.
- Come here.

Come here, come here. You, you, you.

Put some pressure on it. Call .

Second floor. I thought I saw something.

[SOBBING]





FBI.

- Bye.
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[GRUNTS]

- Drive.
- Drive!

[TIRES SCREECH]

No prints on the sn*per r*fle.

He must've been wearing gloves.

But not a mask.

ERT says he must've rested
his cheek on the r*fle sight.

They ran a rapid DNA test.

It came back a match for the r*pe.

All right, that's our guy,
but who the hell is he?

Well, the only thing
that Weller and Ashtels

have in common is their army unit.

I'm gonna start a deep dive
on the other members.

I've got units who just set up here.

If our guy made it
to University Boulevard,

he could've gone either way on the .

Anything from the airship?

Not yet.

Appreciate your help.

- Too many roads.
- Too many black Hondas.

Our fugitive's probably
way past the checkpoints.

- This guy's had training.
- I mean, he scoped the location.

It was a perfect k*ll sh*t...
Clean and accurate.

Maybe he's someone from their army unit.

Could be their unit's
designated marksman,

but sometimes sn*pers
get assigned to units

for just one or two missions, so...

- You're m*llitary, right?
- Naval intelligence?

- Yeah.
- I know you read my file.

The parts that weren't redacted.

- Right.
- What'd you do?

- You get clearance for that?
- Well, I'll never tell you.

Counter-ops. Battle planning.

You know who else has sn*per training?

Cops. I was thinking the same thing.

So if this is about Weller's
police corruption article,

why k*ll Ashtels?

Maybe Weller told him
something he shouldn't have

and our guy is tying up loose end.

I don't know.

Or maybe this isn't about the article.

You know, our unsub may not be
our unsub for much longer.

Well, it looks like
it's covering the parking lot.

Best case, we get a picture
of the top of his head.

Looks like it's covering
the cars and the windows.

If we're lucky,
maybe it caught a reflection.

- Nice catch.
- Look at you.

Let's go see.

[TENSE MUSIC]



Please let me go.

You can have my car.
I won't call the cops.

You would trade your car for your life.

Yeah, of course.

What else would you trade?

Whatever you want.

I have about bucks.
I can go to an ATM.

- Money.
- [SCOFFS]

People think it's the most
important thing in the world.

You can have all of it.

What if I took your money and your life?

Americans don't play by the rules.

Why should I?

I don't know
what you're talking about...

Of course you don't!

You people, all high and mighty...

You say one thing
and then you do another.

And then... [SCOFFS]

And you lie about it.

I am sick of the lies.

How's it going?

Sifting through school internet traffic

from the sn*per's nest.

You feel like he used their Wi-Fi?

Well, it's not password protected.

My guess is he showed up
before they started work,

so he had some time to k*ll.

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

Remy and Kristin
have our fugitive's face.

Now we just need a name.

Lab says the serial number on
our guy's r*fle was sanded off,

but they're working on restoring it.

Hey, check this out.

Someone was searching
Kellerman Keycards.

That could've been
for the school, right?

I don't know.

Whoever it was was using
internet on their phone,

but the numbers don't belong
to any of the teachers.

[LINE BEEPS]

The cell is off so we can't track it.

Okay, Kellerman Keycard
systems are used in

universities, hospitals, utility plants.

Is there any way we can narrow down

- what system he was looking at?
- Not that I can see.

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

[KEYBOARD CLACKS]

We have a fugitive. Farzad Mullah.

Recently arrived from Afghanistan.

All right, I'll text Remy and Kristin.

So this isn't about
Weller's cop corruption story.

I doubt it.

Farzad was an Afghani interpreter

for Weller and Ashtels'
army unit ten years ago.

He was promised refuge
in the U.S., but never got it.

So how is he here now?

He came with the evacuation
of Kabul in August ,

but his family was left behind.

He's going after people
he feels like used him.

Wait, the keycard system
he was researching

is also used by government facilities.

- Like army bases?
- Where they store weapons?

Yeah.

- Great.
- He's just getting started.

So what are we thinking?

Farzad's going after the army guys

- he worked with in Afghanistan.
- He probably feels betrayed.

Like our whole country
turned its back on him.

- I agree.
- We promised those interpreters

we'd take care of them
when they signed up,

and even though Farzad made it out,

he had to leave his family behind.

So I can see
how that would be upsetting.

Forensics recovered three
digits from the serial number

on the r*fle that he sanded off.

Okay, we've got no record
of this guy buying the g*n.

So where'd he get it?

All right, I just got off
the phone with immigration.

They say Farzad was assigned
to live in a house

with other refugees
in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

Perth Amboy.

Can you put together a list
of g*n dealers near there

that sell any br*wnings
with that number sequence

in the last, I don't know, nine months?

- On it.
- Since Farzad came by himself,

ICE put him with a roommate,
Sharif Dawari.

- He was a butcher in Kandahar.
- Butcher, huh?

Maybe that's how
he taught Farzad to slice up

his first victim so efficiently.

Hey, got something.

A g*n retailer in Edison

sells br*wnings
with similar serial numbers.

It could be where
he got the sn*per r*fle from.

All right, wheels up for Jersey.

Kind of sounds like
a Springsteen song, huh?

All right, you guys cover Sharif.

Hana and I will take the g*n store.

Baby, we were born to run.

Some nights, Farzad did not come home.

I thought he might have a secret job.

Why would a job be secret?

We take any job we can find.

Restaurant is good,
liquor store if we must,

but there is also work at the clubs...

The kind where women dance.

But I don't think
he would take that job.

Farzad have family he love very much.

He sounds traditional.

Things are very different here.

Boys and girls going to school...

My daughter loves school too
until the Taliban,

but she would not believe me

when I tell her I met female FBI agent.

Well, would you mind
showing us Farzad's bedroom?

We share the room.

I thought the Taliban was modernizing.

Now they want to be recognized
as Afghanistan's leadership.

Well, they claim
they'll allow girls to continue

going to school and
women to continue working,

but clearly that's a lie.

My daughter dreams of becoming scientist

like the Afghan girls
science design team.

They created very special freezer...

Light, easy to build, easy to move,

so that vaccines

can be distributed
in countries like ours.

She dreams of being like these girls.

You came here to
make a path for your daughter.

For my whole family.

It is a pain I shared with Farzad,

but what he is doing,

he is not who I believed him to be.

Did Farzad have friends,

other people who do think
v*olence is the answer?

Everyone I know is peaceful.

In our community,

we help each other
to embrace our new lives.

We show each other
how to get toilet paper,

to buy phone, to know
how much bus ticket cost.

That's a big adjustment
coming here from Afghanistan.

Americans have been kind.

We have a friend, GI Joe.

When we need something
we cannot get for ourselves,

GI Joe helps us.

How about g*ns?

I have no need for those things,

but some of us work in bad places

like the clubs

and have to walk home late at night.

- How you doing?
- We'll need the names of anyone

who purchased a Browning sn*per
r*fle in the last six months.

- You got a warrant?
- Shouldn't be hard to get

especially since you just sold
amm*nit*on to that woman

without checking her FID.

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

Kristin says a guy named GI Joe

might've helped Farzad get the r*fle.

Hmm.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

Upgrade your computer system
so you can properly record

all your buyer's FIDs, yeah?

Joe Gomez?

DMV says he relocated
to Arizona five months ago.

Jonah Simpson.

- Dead.
- Heart att*ck three months ago.

Joseph Haas.

[PHONE CHIMES]

"The Honda Farzad jacked
was just found abandoned

at Amtrak's long-term parking
in Newark."

- This Joseph Haas?
- He lives in Union.

It's about minutes from there.

I think this is our guy.

- Why?
- Because he's close?

Because he's former army.

- Okay.
- We'll take GI Joe.

Kristin and Ortiz
can handle the abandoned car.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- You see who dropped it off?
- No.

The interior light was on.

That's how you drain your battery.

So the station attendant
made an announcement

in case the owner was still here.

Kristin, something's
sticking out of the trunk.



We need you to cordon off this area.

- Get M.E. and C.S.U. down here.
- Copy.

A- Check this out.

Any idea what that is?

No, but that's where Farzad was sitting.

Might be something from his clothes.

- I'll get ERT.
- See what they find.

Hopefully a clue
as to where this guy's headed.

Major transportation hub like this,

he could be on a train going anywhere.

I'll check ticket purchases,

but I assume he bought them in cash.

- Check security footage.
- Let's hope we got lucky.

- I'm sorry.
- I don't know where Joe is.

Did you check
Greensboro, North Carolina?

- Why would he be there?
- Or maybe this week

it's Philly, Dayton,
or wherever they need AC coils.

I keep calling him, but his phone's off.

Are you moving out?

- [SIGHS]
- I can't take it anymore.

Things have been rough since August.

- What happened then?
- He came home

after they pulled the troops
out of Afghanistan.

He seems proud of his service.

How long was he there?

Five years training Afghan police.

Being there wasn't just a job to him.

He and his best friend, Pete,
got up an hour early

every morning to play soccer

with the local kids before school.

It seems like he really cared
about the community.

He felt like he was the only one.

, wounded,

almost , troops k*lled,
including Pete.

years and everything
they'd built gone in days.

It's a lot of sacrifice.

Joe must've felt like it meant nothing.

It had meaning at the time,
but after the pull out,

every cop he trained is now
a target for the Taliban.

Who'd he blame for the pull out?

The government.

He's so mad and I keep trying
to help him move forward,

but he dropped out of college

because he felt judged for his service.

I'm sorry, but I got to take
my mom to physical therapy.

Hey, do you mind if
we look around a little bit?

- We'll lock up.
- Have at it.

Thanks.

Got his laptop.

This is an industrial printer
used to print ID cards.

And keycards.

Farzad was researching keycard systems.

So Joe got Farzad a r*fle and a keycard.

Why? Anything about keycards?

So far it's just directions
to AC Wholesales,

more work stuff.

Hang on. Raahul Azizi.

An Afghan author who hates the Taliban.

His most recent book praises
the pull out of U.S. troops,

saying they shouldn't have
been there in the first place.

Joe lost his best friend over there.

And reading Azizi must've been
a slap in his face.

Remy, he teaches at Harvard.

College campuses issues keycard systems

for dorms and classroom buildings.

- Right, so no army bases.
- [SIGHS]

I think he and Joe are going
after Azizi in Boston.

Okay, class syllabus
lists his cell there.

Let me try it.


Why are we doing this?

Where are we?

What do you want?

You think by k*lling me
it would make a difference?

I think this will stop the next infidel

from poisoning people's minds with lies.

- Lies?
- I've only written the truth.

The truth is the army
was doing good work

and the pull out destroyed that.

[TENSE MUSIC]

You pretend you know
what's best for our homeland.

But you're a traitor.

Voicemail.

Azizi has social media.

I mean, he has millions of followers,
but we could DM him.

Wait, did he just post a video?

- No, but he's going live.
- Can you track it?

I'm trying,
but there's layers of proxies.

He's protecting himself.
He's a high profile dissident.

- A lot of people want him dead.
- That's what I'm afraid of.

Look, he's not the one filming.

He looks like he's been beaten up.

My name is Raahul Azizi.

[PHONE RINGS]

I am from Afghanistan.

All my life,
I've been blind to the truth.

Thank you.

Azizi's TA said he finished
his lecture a half hour ago.

Farzad must've grabbed him
right after class.

They could've only traveled
, miles tops.

I'm through one proxy,
but this is gonna take a minute.

- Listen.
- What is that?

[FAINT RATTLING]

- A street sweeper?
- No, that's not it.

There's a rhythm to it. Do you hear it?

Was a betrayal

- to the people and my family...
- [TRAIN HORN BLARES]

It's a train.

Okay, to mile radius
with train tracks.

Look for houses with
active construction permits.

That room looks unfinished.

Okay, there's Hyde Park and Readville.

None listed in Hyde Park.

There's six listings in Readville.

Our righteous leaders.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]



They took the phone
they used to broadcast.

Couldn't find the sword either.

There were three sets of fingerprints.

One belonging to Joe, one to Azizi,

third one unknown.

I think it's safe to say
that it's Farzad.

Do we know who owns this place?

- Ganol Builders.
- They bought it to flip it,

but they had some permit issues.

They hadn't done work in a month,

so they left it standing here vacant.

Makes it easy to break in unnoticed.

Okay, so Farzad went after
Weller and Ashtels

because he feels abandoned by them.

But Azizi wanted
the same thing as Farzad.

He wanted freedom from the Taliban.

So why? Why k*ll him?

Doesn't make any sense with Farzad,

but Azizi supporting the pull out

means that Joe hated him.

- Local PD is canvasing?
- Yeah, but no BOLO.

And they at least
have a minute head start.

We're still in it.

The lab ID'd the substance
from the carjacked Honda.

It was tree sap from a black maple,

which is very rare in the northeast.

So I crosschecked that
with where they grow

and everything we had on Joe and Farzad.

Now, Joe's grandparents own land

next to a black maple grove
in Tewksbury.

Could be where Farzad was going

when he wasn't at the apartment.

He and Joe could still be there now.

Work with PD on the canvass.
Widen the radius.

The rest of you with me.

[SOFT SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]



[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

There's a container over there.

Let's go check it out.

Clear.

There it is.

Art Weller's laptop.

Farzad took it after he k*lled him. Why?

We'll give it to Hana at the MCC.

Looks like he's been
crashing here for a while.

Farzad must've connected with Joe

pretty soon after he got here.

Computer chip.

You know those can be used
to make a backdoor to a b*mb?

Whatever they were working on,
they used a soldering iron.

What the hell's that smell?

What is it?

Gasoline.

Which can be used
to make a homemade IED.

Looks like their planning
some kind of bombing.

I think you might be right.

We know Joe got Farzad the sn*per r*fle,

maybe even the sword he used
to k*ll Azizi with.

These two guys are severely
pissed off at America.

Farzad feels abandoned.
Joe feels betrayed.

- And now they're escalating.
- Yes.

Or they planned it all along.
Either way,

I'm telling you right now.
This is about revenge.

And a bombing on U.S. soil
is a damn big statement.

How's Weller's laptop coming?

Apparently journalists are
as hard to cr*ck as the CIA.

Thanks.

I just got a list
of his most recent articles.

The most recently accessed
is called "Reaper."

It's an early confessional article

about a Reaper drone strike.

Army mistakenly k*lled
civilians and covered it up.

It looks like Weller started writing it

when he got an email from his source,

JohnDoe , claiming to have intel.

JohnDoe could be
who Weller was meeting

- the night he was k*lled.
- Hold on a second.

It says the man in this photo
is Farzad Mullah.

Well, that's not him.

If our fugitive isn't Farzad Mullah,

- then who the hell is he?
- That's a good question.

Whoever he is, he beheads Azizi

and is an outspoken activist
against the Taliban.

But he snipes Ashtels
at the groundbreaking ceremony.

That's a different M.O.

Ashtels was a sn*per in the arm...

He's tailoring the punishment
to the crime.

All right, let's run a comparison search

of our fugitive's image
in t*rror1st propaganda videos.

[SOFT WHIZZING]

- Something is bothering you.
- Has been since the professor.

I've k*lled a lot of soldiers.

I've just never m*rder*d a man.

In a w*r like this,
there are no civilians.

We silenced the voice
that poisoned people against us.

Now we finish the job
and silence the future.

You're right.

These kids,

they don't understand
the sacrifices we've made.

They've never been committed to a cause.

We were committed.

Doesn't matter if you were a translator,

a soldier, or a sn*per.

[TENSE MUSIC]

You were just a translator, right?

Who trained you to snipe?

The sword, beheading Azizi...
You didn't hesitate.

It's almost like you've done it before.



You hate America for what it did.

I feel the same way.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.



Will this be a problem?

No.

You get your target. I get mine.

Okay, our fugitive's name
is Badi Wazeer.

He's Taliban.
That's why he went after Azizi.

Okay, it says here
Wazeer's entire village

was destroyed in the drone strike,

the one Weller was writing about.

They took out six Taliban fighters

but also civilians,

totally violating
the rules of engagement.

- And then covering it up.
- So JohnDoe is Wazeer.

He must've known that Weller was the one

who ordered that drone strike.

Looks like Weller was gonna
post the Reaper article

on Monday, but there's
another article in his outbox

that was written after he d*ed.
Wazeer must've written this.

"By now your precious
Sons of Liberty are dead

at the hands of the Taliban."

He's planning a large-scale
att*ck just like we thought.

You said it was in his outbox.

Why wouldn't it have been sent?

It's scheduled to send
for today at noon.

So we got less than an hour

to stop a potential t*rror1st att*ck.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]



A few lines down he writes,

"Bush and Obama bear witness

to the horror
you brought upon yourselves."

Past presidents involved in Afghan w*r.

Who both went to Harvard,
which is in Cambridge.

Let's focus our search there.

A Taliban soldier and
an army vet working together.

Yeah, they're unified
in their hatred of America.

Now that we know he's Taliban,

we need to reevaluate his targets.

I'm not seeing any events at Harvard,

but there is a Women in STEM
conference at MIT.

The Afghan girls science
design team will be there.

A public celebration

of Afghan women and their achievements.

I mean, it's symbolic, right?

As a son, Wazeer hates us
for k*lling his family.

And as a Taliban,
he hates these young women

and the progress they stand for.

- How far is MIT?
- Ten minutes tops.

- Thank you, ladies.
- What an amazing presentation.

Everyone's wearing jackets.

Half the crowd could be hiding a b*mb.

[DRONE BUZZING]

Guys, that drone looks modified.

Part of the competition?

- [b*ll*ts WHOOSHING]
- [CROWD SCREAMING]

I got eyes on Joe.

There's got to be
at least two operators!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]



Remy, that's Joe's company vehicle.

FBI.

[GRUNTS]

Joe's down.

The controller's not responding.

We can't figure out
how to stop the drone.

They programmed a system override.

[CROWD SCREAMING]

- Hana.
- I'm trying.

Try harder.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Hana, it's coming this way.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

[g*nshots]

[DRONE CRASHES]

All victims have been
transported to the hospital.

- Thanks, guys.
- Yes, sir.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Hey, you did great.

- Thanks.
- Hana.

I mean it.

- I know.
- I'm sorry.

I'm a little distracted.

I've been thinking about my birth mom

and how we'll never meet.

It's just sad.

Are your parents around?

My dad's dead but
my mom's here in New York.

- She has Alzheimer's.
- I'm sorry.

I feel guilty I haven't seen her yet.

I think I'd rather remember her
for who she was

than see what she's become.

You're just saying that
to make me feel better.

No, I'm just saying
memories can be very powerful.

I know you never met your birth mom,

but I'm sure you have
this image of her in your mind.

And I'm sure it's pretty great.

Maybe that's enough.

You're right.

What if I had met her

and she turned out to be
some horrible person?

- [LAUGHS]
- That would suck.

You should go see your mom.

And you should take the grand.

It'd be rude not to.

I will if you will.

Bet.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Hana, can you get that?

Save some hot water for me.

Yeah, can we help you?

Hey, yeah, um,

I'm sorry to bother you, but I...

Yeah, we're not buying anything.

- No, no, no, hold on.
- Um...

I'm your brother.

- Well, your half brother.
- [LAUGHS]

- But still, I'm...
- Yeah, okay, buddy.

- Move along.
- No, no, no, hang on.

Hana... Hana Gibson, right?

Mom's lawyer, she gave me your address.

Look.

[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC]



[CHUCKLES]

[SPEAKS MAORI]

Okay.

It means, hello.

I finally found you.

[LAUGHS]

- [GASPS]
- [SIGHS]

[LAUGHS]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Cheers to that.
- Cheers.

Hey, scroll through. That's Auckland.

- Oh.
- I love it.

But I came here for my OE
a few years back

- and I haven't been back since.
- What's OE?

- Overseas experience.
- It's a Kiwi thing.

Yeah, you guys call it a gap year.

You know, when mom's lawyer told me

that you're an FBI agent,

I thought he was yanking my chain.

[BOTH LAUGH]

So what's it like?

- It's really hard...
- [LAUGHS] Yeah.

- But really awesome.
- Mm.

That's probably why
you thought I was so sus.

Suspect.

Don't worry. I'ma break you guys in.

[LAUGHS]

Hey.

- You dating my sister?
- No.

- Just roommates.
- Too bad.

- Do you play rugby?
- No.

Oh, too bad again.

You know, I play every Sunday
at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

You should come out.

Look like you could bust some heads.

[INHALES]

Oh, my God.

What?

Is that mom?

Yeah.

She would've loved to have met you.

She's beautiful.

And smart.

Smart like you wouldn't believe.

You know, when I was in high school,

we went to the glowworm caves.

Here, I have an album.
Hey, man, can I get another?

- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]

Oh, check it out.

So this boat was so wobbly,

I thought we were
gonna fall over at any minute.

- [LAUGHS]
- So mom decides

it's a smart idea to freak everyone out

and start taking pictures
while stepping on the boat.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

- Look at her face.
- Oh, my God.
