Special: I gotta take a rain check.
Special: What? Are you sure? It's not every day that we have carte blanche on a federal credit card.

Special: Has Givens ever abducted anyone before?
Jess: Not that I'm aware of. His specialty was home invasion robbery, but he's been in the slammer for ten years. I'm sure he picked up some new tricks.

Assistant: The senator's baby is still missing, we haven't heard from the kidnappers in five hours, and now the prime suspect's been murdered, too.
Special: Are we thinking the nanny helped and outlived her usefulness?

Assistant: Yeah, the kind of guy who makes a living collecting hush money from divorce attorneys and clients with things to hide.
Special: Makes sense, given what we found. His cell phone, laptop, SD cards are all missing.

Special: NYPD says Marcus Ervin was shot last night in Brooklyn around 10:00 p.m. while he was standing in the doorway of his ground-floor apartment after a rock came crashing through his window.
Special: Same M.O. as Reed.
Assistant: They run the ballistics yet?
Special: It's the same gun.
Special: All right, that's two murders within three hours.
Assistant: That we know of. We could be looking at a killing spree.

Dana: I just hung up with the director, who called to congratulate everyone on a job well done.
[applause]
Dana: And OA, he said the world is a lot safer today because of your efforts.
[cheers and more applause]
Dana: Okay, everybody go home. Get out of here. If I see you in the next 72 hours, I'm gonna have you arrested.

Dana: I've asked Jubal if he'd like to run point on Amber's questioning.
Assistant: Because I'm in AA.
Special: Uh, great. She's waiting in the box.
Dana: Jubal's declining.
Special: Why? Witnesses and their families are dying. You having something in common with Amber is a huge asset. I mean, we need to use every resource possible to find Ackerman.
Assistant: Considered. And as I explained to Dana, we have someone fully equipped to run point. She's your suspect; you got this.
Dana: [Maggie glances at her] I won't force him to do this.
Special: I don't understand.
Assistant: I can't use the program against her. I won't.
Dana: [Jubal leaves] AA demands rigorous honesty with yourself and others. That's how you stay alive. And the only way it works is if the participants trust the program and each other.

Agent: John Reagan worked at the Croatian embassy, but he was all low level stuff,uh, body protection, forward recon,things like that

Assistant: All right, so, the prints on the gas pump were a match to this man, Sam Givens, and he is the gunman from our bus. Same height, spent time in the Army, and he is missing that pinky finger. Now, Givens just got out prison after serving ten years on a series of violent robberies, and the arresting agent was none other than our own Jess LaCroix from the Fugitive Task Force. Agent LaCroix has agreed to work with us on this case. He caught Givens once, we're hoping he can do it again. Ladies and gentlemen, Jess LaCroix, one of the best in the business.
Jess: [shaking hands] It's good to see you again, Jubal.
Assistant: You, too. Thanks for coming. I know you guys are busy.
Jess: 26 kids are missing. These are the ones we do for free.

Special: Captain, what have we got?
FD: Three bodies: adult female on a bed over there, two juveniles.
Detective: The Gilmans had two kids; boy and girl, eight and ten.
Special: Names.
Detective: Roy and Mia.
Special: What about Tom Gilman?
Detective: Haven't found any other remains.

Special: You know, they're not all criminals.
Special: What, the people in WITSEC?
Special: Yeah. 15% of them are innocent. Wrong place, wrong time.
Special: You do a stint in the Marshals Service before this?
Special: Put someone in WITSEC when I was a cop in Indiana. Curtis, sixteen years old, witnessed a gang shooting at his after-school job.
Special: You encourage him to testify?
Special: I did. He was one of the good ones. It was heartbreaking seeing him say goodbye to his family.
Special: Kind of like living undercover, just permanently.
Special: Yeah, all to find the bad guy. I don't think I could do it.
Special: To save your life, to save your family's life, you could.

Assistant: Dr. Lucas Caldwell; single, Yale undergrad, Harvard Medical School, residency at Mass General. Does he have any criminal history?
Elise: No, nothing. Not even a speeding ticket.
Assistant: Right, okay, so query number two: what is the connection between our two victims? Why did this guy specifically target them? Wright is an anesthesiologist, Caldwell is an internist. Odd combo. Internists spend no time in the O.R., anesthesiologists practically live there. Begs the question: why these two?
Special: What did we find out about their personal life or professional life?
Elise: They don't appear to know each other at all. They have no common acquaintances. Don't live in the same area. Different ages.
Assistant: All right, well, keep digging. Let's go over the timeline of the abductions. Maybe that'll give us a clue into the, uh, motive.
Kelly: Uh, the timestamp on Dr. Caldwell's video doorbell shows that his abduction took place at 6:23 a.m. Dr. Wright was approximately taken an hour and a half later.
Elise: Just wanted to point out that the trunk size of the gray BMW is 16 cubic feet. Dr. Caldwell is about 180 pounds and six feet tall.
Special: Which means it's highly doubtful he was still in the trunk of the BMW when Dr. Wright was placed there.
Assistant: All right, so the abductor either stashed or killed Caldwell before grabbing Wright, but the question is why? There has to be a nexus. We find that, we find our suspect.
Special: Okay, we have two victims, both doctors, no connection personally or professionally.
Assistant: Hmm.
Special: What if they were targeted not for who they are, but for what they do?

Assistant: Hey, so, the father's desperate. He's got military training. Making a move on him now seems risky.
Special: I understand your concern, but Octavio has no idea that we're on the scene. That gives us the advantage of surprise. Why would we risk losing that?
Assistant: Well, he's got two hostages. Plus his kid is lying on an operating table getting his stomach cut open. That's three lives at risk if we miss. It's a safer play to try to talk him into surrendering.
Special: Okay. This is your call, but if you see a clear shot, do not be afraid to take it.

Assistant: So, surveillance, masks, assault rifles. This was a well-planned operation.
Special: Yeah, but why? Why abduct 26 kids? And we're monitoring the parents' phones and e-mails, but there's no claim of responsibility, no ransom demand.
Assistant: Well, a demand may still come in.
Special: And what if it's not money he's after? You should have seen those parents. Just... despair.
Assistant: I can't imagine.

Special: How long for the gas to get to the candle?
Arson: Rough estimate, nine to ten hours.
Special: [to OA] Okay, the house goes up around 10:15. That means that Gilman would have had to pull the gas line around midnight. He's got a 14-hour lead on us.

Jess: Now, what about this bus? What, did it head south, east, west?
Special: We've been scrubbing as much surveillance video as possible, but so far, no luck.
Special: Yeah. It could be anywhere.
Jess: And Givens' girlfriend?
Assistant: What... what girlfriend?
Jess: I don't know who she is or where she lives, but I know that he's got one.
Assistant: You-you-you... you do? How?
Jess: Givens was an orphan. He's constantly seeking strong women to take care of him.
Assistant: Oh, right. Be... okay.
Jess: It's true.
Assistant: Uh... all right, w-we need hard evidence here, Jess. The clock's ticking, we don't have time to play shrink.
Jess: Well, we don't have any hard evidence. All we have is to play shrink.

Assistant: But you know what they say, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work harder so let's work harder and catch this guy and I promise that is the last tropey thing I will say this afternoon

Special: [When handcuffing Lisa Blake] Not today, bitch.

Assistant: So, what are we looking at? At least two gunmen, one sounds American. What else do we know? Let's put this video under the microscope, see what else we can find.
Special: He looks tall. 6'3", 6'4? Skin says he's Caucasian.
Kelly: The way he handles that AR points to military or police training.
Special: Hey, check this out. Look at his glove. That's just hanging latex. He's missing his pinky finger.

Jules: I couldn't believe it was the same guy. But then they said he had a birthmark on his back. How can a guy kill his own kids?
FBI: Good question. The booker said Gilman was your regular client.
Jules: Okay, look, I only do theraputic oil massage. Rub, no tug. Feel me?
FBI: I'm feeling those stiletto heels. Hey, Jules, we're not here to bust your chops about your sex work. We just wanna catch Gilman, okay?

Tommy: What's my duffel bag doing there?
Connie: I packed some of your things.
Tommy: Where am I going?
Connie: I'll tell the kids you got called into work. You can pick up the rest tomorrow when we're at service.

Special: Is Patrice here?
Jasmine: Are you here to talk to her about the shooting?
Special: Is she here?
Jasmine: No. I'm her roommate, Jasmine.
Special: We've been trying to contact her.
Jasmine: She left this morning.
Special: Left to go where?
Jasmine: She didn't say. Caleb's death, the shooting, hit her hard. She said she needed to go off the grid for a while to clear her head. So she shut off all her devices and packed a suitcase and split.
Special: Do you have any idea where she went?
Jasmine: I told her she probably shouldn't be alone. But she insisted.
Special: Okay, well, someone has to know where she went. Parents or friends?
Jasmine: I can get you her mom and dad's number, but they're flying back from South Africa right now. They cut their vacation short when they heard what happened.
Special: Okay, do you know a guy named Jim Housley Dietz?
Jasmine: Yeah. He and Patrice had a thing, but he started acting kinda creepy.
Special: What do you mean?
Jasmine: Patrice isn't the "in a relationship" type. And he got freakily possessive. When she pulled back, he went neo-n*zi on her. Which is strange, because hello, she's a sister. So she ghosted him. Blocked his number, his email.
Special: How long ago was this?
Jasmine: Uh, a few weeks ago, I think. Does Jim have something to do with the shooting? Because he showed up here today.
Special: When?
Jasmine: A couple hours ago, maybe. He said that he heard the news about the shooting and wanted to check in on Patrice.
Special: And Patrice has no idea that he came here?
Jasmine: No. Jim was, like, ancient history to her.
Special: But you have no idea where she is?
Jasmine: I try not to get too involved with Patrice's affairs. Oh, my God. Did Jim shot those people at the club?
Special: Jasmine, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna have undercover agents outside of your door. Here's my card. If Patrice or Jim contact you, let us know immediately.

Assistant: So, Tiffany and Scola just called. Damien Thomas, the community activist who told us about Marcus' murder, he was just killed 30 minutes ago. He was shot in the chest after somebody threw a brick through his office window.
Special: Are we sure this is related?
Assistant: ERT pulled a second slug from the wall. Preliminary ballistics are a match to the other two murders, which means...
Special: Cody McCowan isn't our killer because he was here in our custody when Thomas was shot.
Assistant: Right. And our spree shooter is still out there and still killing people.

Assistant: Facial rec...
Analyst: No -- baseball cap is too low plus now he's wearing dark sunglasses
Assistant: All right, so he knows what he is doing. He knows that there are cameras everywhere good for him. But you know what they say, hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work harder so let's work harder and catch this guy and I promise that is the last tropey thing I will say this afternoon

Special: Hey. Why didn't you answer your phone?
Special: There's no service down here.
Special: Then go to the gym like a normal person.
Special: There's too many people looking at themselves in the mirror.

Assistant: Fifteen minutes ago, Congressman Logan Reed was shot and killed at his home in Scarsdale. Now, as most of you know, Logan Reed was a rising star in the Democratic Party, a former prosecutor. He rose to national prominence last summer during all of the racial unrest. Love him or hate him, he was one of the most talked-about politicians in the country.
Special: The story just broke online, so the entire country's about to start asking if this was politically motivated. We need answers and fast.
Assistant: Let's get some, people. Go to work.

Assistant: [learning his son has leukemia] Hey, buddy. You're gonna be okay. Yeah, we got the best doctors in the world. Said they promise they can cure this. And doctors don't lie, so you're gonna be okay.
[crying and letting out a shaky exhale]
Assistant: Yeah. You're gonna live... a long, full, beautiful life. I know it.

Assistant: Octavio, this is Special Agent Jubal Valentine with the FBI. I need you to put down your weapon and surrender. If you do that, we can get your son the help he needs.
Octavio: You think I'm stupid?
Assistant: No, I think you're a father trying to save his son, so let us help you do that.
Octavio: I want a new surgeon. One that can do a kidney transplant.
Assistant: Well, that-that's not easy to...
Octavio: And if one isn't here in the next ten minutes, the lady doctor dies.
Assistant: Okay, wait, don't...
Special: [Octavio hangs up] Now what?

Arson: We got the point of origin in the basement. The gas line to the furnace was pulled out. We found traces of a lit candle on the floor about eight feet away. The gas accumulated in the basement, and when it filled up and got down to the candle...
Special: The house went up. Are there any other vehicles registered to the family?
Detective: There's a compact SUV registered to Connie Gilman, probably in the garage.
Special: [entering the garage] It's gone. Gilman took it and left his to make it look like he was still here.

Jim: Hell, no. This is impossible. No way I'd compromise my cases.
Special: Well, how did this happen?
Jim: You don't understand. I-I care about these people. I'd never put them in any kind of danger.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Office hasn't detected a breach in our software. All of our hardware is accounted for. I'm sorry, Jim, if the list is secure internally...
Jim: I'll take a polygraph, boss, hand over my log-in, credentials...
Special: Marshal Ruhde, did anyone know about scheduled visits with your witnesses?
Jim: No one. And visits varied on a case-by-case basis, protocol.
Special: Mind if I have a look in your garage?
Jim: Whatever you need to do.

Special: What's up?
Special: I don't know. Jubal didn't say. He just said to collect you and get to the JOC. Come on. We're already late.

Assistant: All right, listen up, everybody. This is not over yet. Howard Kirkland's killer is still at large. Now, our Brooklyn robbers somehow knew every detail of the original crime, so we need to go over everything from this morning's robbery with fresh eyes; witness statements, street cams, 911 calls. Look for anything that stands out from the three Queens robberies. Leave no stone unturned.

Special: You're not gonna believe this. Maynard's alibi checks out.
Special: Both he and Chris Wallace are on camera at the Sunshine Diner this morning. They couldn't have been at the robbery in Brooklyn.
Assistant: Yeah, well, ballistics tells the same story. The guns found at the salvage yard were not a match to the gun that killed Howard, but they were a match to the bullets recovered from the three locations in Queens.
Special: But the guys from this morning's robbery, they had the same clothes, the same animal masks, even the same crescent tattoo on the wrist.
Assistant: They're copycats.
Special: So these guys who killed Howard are still running around out there.
Assistant: Yeah.

FBI: The ICE office in Port Chester will have Gilman's co-workers ready for us in an hour. I was just at his bank. He withdrew 35K Saturday morning. Running money. He had a plan.
FBI: Nothing impetuous about our boy.
Detective: Sounds like this isn't your first rodeo with family annihilators.
FBI: You know they come in four flavors? There's the self-righteous type who blames everybody, especially his wife, for all the crap in his life. There's the guy who can't get his act together and feels humiliated by his failures. And then we have the self-pitying loser who feels like his family has let him down. Then there's the paranoid fella who thinks his family's in danger from the outside world. You know, moral decay or the bogeyman. So how does he protect them? He kills his family himself.

Assistant: Dr. Caldwell's partner is an anesthesiologist. So is Dr. Wright. That can't be a coincidence.
Special: Why would Dr. Caldwell have an anesthesiologist as a partner in the first place? It doesn't make any sense.
Assistant: That's pretty odd, right? I feel like we're missing something. What about Caldwell's history? Was he always an internist?
Kelly: He spent two years as a surgical resident at Mass General before leaving the program to go into internal medicine. Five years later, he started the concierge practice with Dr. Nelson.
Elise: Just found something. Might be nothing, but over the past five weeks, the same cell number has repeatedly shown up on both their phone records. Five, six times a day, every day.
Assistant: Okay. Run it.
Elise: [doing so] Cell number is registered to... this guy, Lorenzo Santos.
Special: [seeing he has a record] So, what was he locked up for?
Kelly: He's been in and out of jail for the last decade. A couple of assault charges, a narcotics violation. Also appears to have a lot of connections with this Mexican street gang, Loco-25s.
Special: Why would a guy like this be in constant contact with a concierge medical practice?
Special: Gangbanging is a dangerous business. Maybe they made a deal with Caldwell so that if someone gets injured, they know where to go.
Special: This guy's the same approximate height and weight as our masked man. Ping his cell. I want him brought in for questioning.
Elise: I'm showing he's currently near the intersection of Adam Clayton Powell and 140th. Or at least his cell phone is.
Special: [to Scola and Tiffany] Go.

Assistant: I just want to say I'm... I'm really sorry about your friend Juan. Maggie just told me that he passed away. I had no idea.
Special: Thanks. Um... I was in over my head. I didn't even know that he was an addict.
Assistant: Well, it can be pretty hard to spot, unless you've lived with the disease yourself.
Special: Yeah. Um... how's Morris?
Assistant: He's good. Yeah, he's... he's strong.
Special: He did great.
Assistant: Yeah.
Special: It's not an easy position to be in, especially as an ex-addict.
Assistant: Well, there's no such thing, really. All it takes is one bad day.

Assistant: Based on the Rikers telephone record, Cody McCowan learned of Jack's prison yard beating 10:04 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Then six hours later, in what seems like a direct response, beats Marcus in the street. Then, last night, both Marcus and Congressman Reed are shot and killed.
Special: Any luck tracking Cody's phone?
Ian: Yeah, I just got up on the new number. No location data, but for the past two hours, it's been pinging off the same three towers in Brooklyn, putting him somewhere within these ten square blocks.
Assistant: Okay, okay. We are looking for an address in Flatbush. Does Cody have any relatives there? Any friends from the BKB? Any references on social media posts? Let's go. I want to be kicking in a door in 20 minutes, and I need someone in here to tell me exactly which one.

[SPOILER: ]
Assistant: We put a BOLO on his vehicle, but Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman is already in the wind. This is a manhunt for a man who hides people for a living, folks. Let's be on our game.

Assistant: My name is Isobel Castille, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the New York Fugitive Task Force. We are announcing today the addition of Thomas Mark Gilman to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Gilman is wanted for triple homicide of his wife Constance Gilman and their children Mia and Roy. The FBI Fugitive Task Force has obtained a federal arrest warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Gilman is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Since 1950, 521 fugitives have been placed on the Most Wanted list. Gilman is the 522nd. Of those fugitives, 486 have been captured; 95% success rate. Thank you.
[to Jess, as she steps down from the podium]
Assistant: Make it 487.

Special: What the hell are you thinking?
Roger: What are you talkin' about? He was shooting at us.
Special: I was in your line of fire, Palmer. You could've hit me.
Roger: But I didn't, so relax.
Frank: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, guys. Calm down. We got the bad guy. That's all that matters, okay?
Special: [leaving] Playing games, and you know it.
Roger: He's got a lousy attitude.
Special: No, he's a good guy and a good agent. Just doesn't like bullets whizzing by his head is all.

Special: Pull up in front. Let the gate close before we get out.
Special: You know I worked undercover, right?
Special: We have two hours to get on top of this.
Special: Kidnappers gave them 24.
Special: 75% of abducted kids who don't make it are killed within the first three hours. That e-mail came in an hour ago.

Special: Ah, I love our job. We're gonna talk to someone who pays off mistresses to see if he knows someone corrupt enough to kidnap a baby.
Special: Yeah. It's ironic.
Special: I would say more like pathetic.

Dana: Absolutely not. I'm not dropping my agent into the tail end of a fourteen-month operation with only 24 hours prep time.
Rowan: Look, I don't like it, either. Goes against everything I teach.
Dana: Glad we agree.
Rowan: And if Reis were still alive, I wouldn't be here. But he's not. These are the cards we've been dealt. I feel lucky, actually. Reis was educated here. Spoke perfect English. He was meticulous, avoided photographs, not very many people in the world have seen him in person, and this is the first deal he ever brokered for Vickers. OA is a physical match. It's risky, but every time you go undercover it's risky. You know that.
Assistant: [Dana glances at him] You know what I'm gonna say. Let's roll the dice.
Dana: Willing to bet OA's life on that?
Assistant: I'm willing to bet OA can rise to the challenge.

FBI: Gilman's been an ICE officer for ten years. He knows our bag of tricks. All this cool whiz-bang stuff isn't gonna catch him.
Special: So what's your cool stuff, gut instinct?
FBI: I like to educate my gut. I go backwards. What's Gilman's story? Who are his close friends, family?
Special: Well, his neighbors say that he doesn't talk about his family, but his wife has a sister in White Plains that she's close to.
FBI: Good, I'll start with her.

Rowan: I'm sorry. The way I treated you wasn't right.
Special: It worked. You made me into the undercover agent I am.
Rowan: It's not true. You had it in you. Way before I came along. And I would hate to think what the Bureau would be if you'd have quit.
Special: I wanted to. I almost did. And then I decided I wasn't gonna give you the satisfaction.
Rowan: Glad you're a stronger man than the one who was teaching you. Would you consider letting some other people know that it is possible to get from there to where you sit?

Special: You brought up the importance of sticking to WITSEC rules more than once. I can't help but think there's something behind that.
Special: Curtis was my old witness.
Special: He break the rules?
Special: Yeah, but he couldn't help himself.
Special: What, family?
Special: Yeah. His mom's 50th birthday. So he called her to reach out, but 15th Street Gang was listening to her calls. But the thing is is that these people were being so careful.
Special: Doesn't make what happened to Curtis any less tragic.
Special: No.
Special: Would you still encourage people to go into the program?
Special: Without a doubt.

Detective: Neighbor says it sounded like a bomb. The owner, Thomas Gilman, is a deportation officer for the ICE office in Port Chester. We suspect he was the target.
Special: Was he home?
Detective: That's his truck in the driveway. The fire departmnet's still searching for victims. We got one neighbor DOA, two more in the ICU.
Special: Any evidence of a bomb besides the, uh, big noise?
Detective: Look at this place. What else would do this?

Special: [pursuing robbers of check-cashing stores] All right, so we can put cameras on both sides of the building. One in the parking lot.
Special: And inside if the manager's willing to cooperate, of course.
Special: Who's gonna say no to free surveillance equipment?

Agent: Hey, guys, I got something you wanna see. I think the copycats may have just slipped up. I went over hidden camera video from the Brooklyn robbery. I found a detail that doesn't fit the original M.O.
Special: [seeing one of the robbers touch his ear] Well, wait a second. That's acoustic tubing. He's wearing an earpiece.
Agent: Yeah, I think I know what he's listening to. These guys got out of there right before the cops showed up, so I synced up the timecodes to this audio.
Special: [listening] That's police dispatch.
Special: These guys have a police scanner?
Special: Yeah, except that's an encrypted channel. You can't pick that up on a regular old scanner. You have to have a dedicated police radio.
Special: Are you saying these guys might be cops?
Special: That's a pretty serious accusation. Do we have any proof beyond the theory that they had access to the robbery case files?
Agent: Nothing specific.
Special: But if you think about it, some of the details of the prior robberies were only known to the police.
Special: Okay, start checking the logs. Find out which cops had access to the robbery case files. Dig into each of them.
Special: Uh, should I loop in Detective Dixon?
Special: No, let's keep this internal for now. If the cops are involved, we don't wanna tip off the wrong person. We need to wall off NYPD until we are absolutely certain.
Assistant: That might be tough. What do I tell the NYPD rep in the JOC?
Special: Keep any reference to cops as suspects out of the JOC. For now, they are simply robbers until we can prove otherwise.

Assistant: Hey, any red flags in the senator's past?
Analyst: Not that we found. Public Integrity has no open investigations. And if we start pressing his old associates without explaning why, it could look like the Bureau messing around in politics.
Special: Not a fire I'm anxious to start.

Assistant: Tyler has leukemia.
Special: What?
Assistant: My son has... uh, yeah, it's... good news is, the doctor says we caught it early. It's curable. Prognosis is excellent, so...
Special: Okay.
Assistant: I gotta... I gotta go.

Rowan: I trained him, Dana. My professional assessment as his instructor is... he can pull this off.
Dana: What if word gets out that the real Reis is dead?
Rowan: MI5 seeded chatter that the assassination attempt failed.
Dana: And?
Rowan: Confirmed reports as far away as Moscow. The story took. The world thinks Otan Reis survived.

Special: Is that the other witness that Ackerman was in a relationship with?
Dana: Yeah, you were right. He sold her name as a parting shot.
Assistant: We have a team monitoring her apartment. We'll bring in whoever Ackerman sold her name to, if they're dumb enough to follow through.

FBI: While I was staring at the wall back there, I was thinking about Gilman's dilemma. He needs to put miles on the odometer. He knows we've got everything covered. He would've anticipated having to change his appearance and use a fake ID. Being a deportation officer, arresting undocumented aliens, he would have had the pick of all the fake IDs they had. Right?
FBI: I guess we're going back to Port Chester.
FBI: You, Crosby, and Hana. Sheryll and me, we're going to a massage parlor.

Tali: Dad, does Wally mind the hood?
FBI: He's okay, honey. It's not hurting him. Keep holding that leash.
[moving across the room]
FBI: Ready?
[Tali nods]
FBI: Okay.
[she removes Wally's hood]
FBI: Let's see how that wing is doing.

Special: What's up with Otan Reis?
Rowan: Like most intructors, I split my classroom time with field time. Last fourteen months, I've been on this guy. I stung him, flipped him, recruited him to help take down Martin Vickers. Yesterday he was about to board a private plane from Blackbushe to Teterboro.
Special: Was?
Rowan: Assassinated on the tarmac.
Jillian: Which should have been the end of the mission.
Rowan: [glancing at OA] Except... except Reis' height, weight, and ethnicity match exactly one agent in the Bureau.

Special: What the hell's going on?
Special: What are you talking about?
Special: You and Tiff. It's clear you're not on the same page.
Special: That obvious, huh? She, uh, she used to work with Dixon. He was her training officer, and she loves the guy, so...
Special: Hmm. And you're not sold?
[he shrugs non-commitally]
Special: I mean, do you think he might be involved?
Special: He seems like a nice enough guy, but you never know, right?
Special: You know, when it's personal, it's easy to make a mistake you can't walk back from. Just keep an eye out for her. Okay?
Special: Goes without saying.
Special: I know. Wanted to say it anyway.

[SPOILER: ]
Special: Takes a certain type of animal to prey on the vulnerabilities of those they're entrusted to protect, Ackerman.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: I didn't mean for innocent people to get hurt.
Special: You going with that for your defense?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: You're young and unblemished. I wouldn't expect you to understand this.
Special: You took an oath, just like us.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: You two get to play heroes every day. I protect scumbags. I give criminals who wanna rat out their friends a second chance. What about me? What about my second chance?
Special: Your second chance? Whether your witnesses were criminals at one point or not, they chose to obey the rules and do the right thing. They turned their lives around.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Can a leopard really change his spots? They chose their fate.
Special: So did you.

Cody: All these criminals running in the streets, and what do you do? You arrest an innocent man.
Special: If you're so innocent, then why'd you run?
Cody: I got outstanding warrants, and I didn't feel like surrendering just yet; more work to do, since the cops don't have the guts to do their jobs anymore.
Special: [showing him footage of his assault of Marcus Ervin] This your idea of police work?
Cody: That's called payback.
Special: For what?
Cody: Race riots last summer.
Special: Oh, you're referring to the protests.
Cody: Looked more like riots to me. This punk Marcus threw a brick through the window of my mom's bar. Looters stormed inside, started destroying the place like animals. Cops didn't do a damn thing to stop it.
Special: So that gives your brother Jack the right to take a bat to his head?
Cody: To save our mom's bar! It's called self-defense. And the Internet runs with it. All of a sudden, we're evil racists. They started it, not us. We were minding our own business, and then they started protesting and looting. But my brother's the one who got sent to prison, and now he's hooked up to a feeding tube, so hell yeah I kicked that kid's ass.
Special: Yeah, but that wasn't enough. That's why you went after Marcus again, right? But this time, you killed him.
Special: Right after you killed Congressman Reed?
Cody: What the hell are you talking about?
Special: Come on, Cody, you said it yourself. Your brother got screwed. You wanted revenge.
Cody: Yeah, but I didn't kill anybody.

Special: Two witnesses dead in two days. With all those names out in the open, is the Marshals Service gonna move everyone in the program?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: We're talking 15,000 people. There's no way we can move that many in time, not even with FBI's help. But then again, maybe we don't have to.
Special: Why?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Of the 60 cases my office oversees and the five deputies in my office, both of these witnesses were under Jim Ruhde's supervision.
Special: Marshal Ruhde is the source of the leak.

Assistant: All right, people, the Dog and the Rat have struck again. It's like a kid's book. Two stores in one day. Means they're getting greedy and, hopefully, sloppy. Let's use this to our advantage. So, OA saw one of the robbers fleeing. Did not get a good look at his face, but said he was wearing a green hat, a black backpack, and he swung a left on Forest Street. Where are we with the street cams?
Elise: Pulled everything within a three-block radius. Caught this.
Assistant: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Green hat. Can you... can you zoom into his wrist, maybe?
Elise: [doing so] Crescent tattoo. That's our guy.
Assistant: Aha, boom. There it is.
Kelly: Pulled the cab's medallion number. Got access to the interior camera footage.
Assistant: Okay, yeah, that's a good shot. Can we run that through facial rec?
Kelly: Already on it.
Assistant: Of course you are.
[looking over Kelly's shoulder]
Assistant: There he is. Justin Maynard. 41 years old, 5'11", 190.
Elise: That makes him a physical match for the robber in the dog mask.
Agent: Maynard's got a pretty good rap sheet. Armed robbery, violent assault. Already been to prison three times.
Assistant: Really? You got a location on him?
Agent: Parole records show he works at a salvage yard in Queens.
Kelly: Yeah, looks like that's where the cab dropped him off.
Assistant: Okay, let's bring him in.

Assistant: All right, folks, here's the question: how did a progressive ally like Logan Reed end up in the crosshairs of a minority protest group?
Ian: Well, the protest at Reed's house was organized by Damian Thomas, a community activist who lives in Reed's district, but he despises him. Called him "the worst kind of racist, a white liberal hypocrite who co-opted the civil rights movement for his personal gain."
Assistant: That's pretty harsh. Next question is why did Thomas feel this way?
Ian: Well, before he ran for Congress, Reed was a prosecutor known for being tough on crime.
Assistant: Right, so Thomas thought he was a hypocrite. One minute, he's putting young Black men in prison, the next, he's out on the streets protesting with Black activists.
Special: And he was preaching all his newfound wokeness from his big-ass pad in the suburbs.
Assistant: And that. Would Damian Thomas really kill over all this?

Special: [listening to Jubal and Jess bicker] These two used to date, or what?
Sheryll: They used to work together back in the day.
Special: Guessing it wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Sheryll: Your boss follows facts, mine follows hunches.
Special: Tomato, to-mah-to, as long as they get it done, right?

Assistant: So, that school bus and 26 grade-school kids just went missing in Westchester County.
Special: How does a school bus go missing?
Assistant: Unclear, but it never arrived at Taft Elementary, and all the cell phones on board went dark at 7:41. We sent a chopper to aid with the search, but so far, nothing.
Special: Well, those buses are tracked. What about the GPS transponder?
Assistant: Disabled, also at 7:41.
Special: So, a mass kidnapping?
Assistant: Could be a kidnapping. Could be a domestic terror attack. It also could be an isolated event or a first salvo. Right now, we have to consider all possibilities.

Alexis: We don't have those kinds of issues.
Special: Are you sure you'd know?
Alexis: My life with Gary is good. His career, Gracie, it's all we wanted.
[realizing]
Alexis: Ah, is that why you're... you're talking to us separately.
Special: We can cover more ground that way. Hopefully get closer to a motive.
Alexis: But isn't the motive money?
Special: They want the money. But they also called your husband a liar. That's personal. Who would do that?

Assistant: Hey, Kelly, have your team start scrubbing through videos from the area surrounding both crime scenes and flag anything that appears in both.
Kelly: On it.
Assistant: Ian, you guys run financials on both victims. Look for any common patterns; expenses, accounts. Let's get creative, folks! Our shooter might have plans to strike again. Travel history, online hangouts, common acquaintances. I don't know. Surprise me.

Jim: [bleeding out after a surprise attack] Linda... I'm a U.S. Marshal. Call the FBI.

Assistant: A bus full of children. What does he want? Is he just reckless? What's his ultimate objective?
Jess: Money.
Special: So he'll ask for ransom?
Jess: Unless he can make more by trafficking the kids. Like I said, he's motivated by money.

Rowan: All right, remember, don't try and think like a bad guy. Be the bad guy and think.
Special: Right.
Rowan: No hesitation. Project confidence. Keep eye contact. Act like you've done this a thousand times before.
Special: Is this yammering calming your nerves? Because I'm good.

Connie: Tom, I know about the antibiotics. There's only one way you got that infection.
Tommy: I knew you'd be like this, go straight to a divorce.
Connie: I haven't decided anything yet.
Tommy: Don't lie. I saw what you texted your sister.
Connie: I'm getting the kids.
Tommy: [blocking her way] Don't do that.
Connie: We're not staying in this house with you.
Tommy: [she notices blood on his shirt sleeve] What?
Connie: Please, I just wanna see our babies.

FBI: Hey, boss, I scrubbed Gilman's phone. No trace of any girlfriend.
FBI: Gilman didn't cheat because he's looking for a relationship. Intimacy's not in his tool kit.
FBI: Neither is sharing. He's got no social media presence. Joined Facebook in 2009, posted one picture of his daughter, and hasn't been back since.
FBI: Yeah, sounds about right.
Detective: What's he doing, inspecting suspicious marbles?
FBI: It's old, Detective, maybe from his childhood. It's interesting to me that he kept it.

Senator: [returning home after a campaign rally] Why is the gate open?
Alexis: I don't know. Oh, the stroller's out. You know, Gracie must have been fussing and Elena just wanted to get her inside.
Senator: [entering the house] Gracie! Daddy's home.
Alexis: Shh! You wake the baby, my next speech'll be your eulogy.

Assistant: Jilian Starls, Agents Bell and Zidan. Jill runs Special Investigations Unit 2. So, SIU has an ongoing undercover operation they think we're uniquely suited to assist.
Jillian: The target is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world, Martin Vickers.
Assistant: Yeah, he's been around for a while. Didn't Comey give him a nickname?
Jillian: The Merchant of Venom.
Assistant: That's right.
Jillian: And we might finally be able to catch him in the act.
Special: How'd you tie him to Vickers?
Jillian: An established black market broker, Otan Reis. Fronts buys for 20% of the world's war criminals, and we flipped him.
Special: Who managed that?

Roger: What do you want?
Special: We're gonna need you to come with us.
Roger: Now is not a good time.
Special: We're not asking.
[noticing Palmer's hand in his coat pocket and drawing his gun]
Special: You need to put your hands where I can see 'em.
[Palmer looks around at his fellow cops]
Special: I said hands, Palmer! Put your hands where I can see them! Trust me, you do not want to give me a reason to shoot you.
[Palmer puts his hands up; cuffing him]
Special: Roger Palmer, you're under arrest for the murders of Howard Kirkland and Detective Kyle Webb.
Roger: I don't know what you're talking about.
Special: We found the stolen money from yesterday's robbery in your attic, traces of Webb's blood on a shirt in your bathroom.
Roger: There's been a mistake. I was working yesterday morning.
Special: Really? 'Cause your partner said you came in late. You had a personal thing to take care of?
Special: Looks like your alibi just went to hell, too.

FBI: You a hunter? On your keychain, that's a sight wrench.
Lane: Yes, sir, I hunt.
FBI: Is Tommy a hunter?
Lane: A good one. And he lets you know it. He likes to hunt alone. He can spend days in the woods.
FBI: Does he have a... favorite spot?
Lane: Yeah, but he wouldn't tell me where.
FBI: You said he liked to show off. I'm sure he sent you some photos of his hunts.
Lane: [showing them his phone] Sure.
FBI: Now, where would your Fortress of Solitude be?

MI5: Where are you off to after assignment?
MI5: Jennings says Istanbul.
MI5: Oh, been before?
MI5: No.
MI5: Chalmers, the ambassador, he's a bit straight-laced. But he knows where his bread is buttered. His wife, actually...
[a car approaches]
MI5: Oh, here we go.
MI5: Don't ask me to shake his hand. I might vomit.
MI5: All we have to do is bear witness he stepped on that plane and the door closed behind him. Then he's America's problem.
MI5: I don't know how the FBI did it.
MI5: What's that?
MI5: Flipped Otan Reis.
MI5: Like I said, America's problem. Ours is not to question why.

Michelle: Connie was divorcing him. She was telling him Saturday night she wanted him out before the kids woke up.
FBI: Why did your sister want a divorce?
Michelle: She found out he cheated on her. She found his pills for a urinary infection.
FBI: What was their marriage like before?
Michelle: Tom's a control freak. And Connie was like this "yes, sir" wife, and she never stood up for herself.
FBI: But the divorce was her idea, right?
Michelle: I told her that she didn't deserve to be treated...
[crying]
Michelle: If I just kept my stupid mouth shut, none of...
FBI: Michelle, this was not your fault, okay? And you're doing great work now. You're giving us solid information.

U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Welcome to hell. Chief Deputy Paul Ackerman, U.S. Marshals Service. I know the FBI's used to this kind of thing. This is a fiasco.
Special: Eyewitnesses?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: No, they made sure of that. Took out this passing motorist and-and this kid on a skateboard. Including my Marshal there, that's three dead. Now, my other man is stable, but the uh... the witness is in surgery.
Special: Government witness?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Yeah.
Special: Tell us about him.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Damon Cruz. My deputies were gonna escort him to Los Angeles so that he could testify in a Jairo Cartel case.
Special: Blood patterns are smeared.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Yeah, that's Cruz. He got shot five times.
Special: He knew to tuck and roll to protect his vital organs while being shot at.
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Majority of our witnesses are formal criminals. Their instincts are hard-wired.

Linda: Promise not to come back smelling like a tackle box?
Damon: I'll have to actually catch something for that to happen.

Mickey: Yes, I know Nicole Wyatt. Yes, I did send her flowers.
Special: So you admit you were stalking her
Mickey: I admit to energetically pursuing her.
Special: Same thing.
Mickey: Oh, I get it. You're one of these faux-feminist men whose mission in life is to save the huddled female masses from toxic masculinity, right?
Special: Nope, nope, just saying you can't really stalk someone in a good way. Sort of a paradox.
Special: Yeah, well, this is real life, and we got a dead body on our hands.
Mickey: Are you saying... Nicole is dead?
Special: Yeah, she was murdered last night.
Mickey: And you think that I... Look, I didn't kill Nicole. That's preposterous. I liked her. A lot.
Special: Where'd you go after the boat party last night?
Mickey: To my apartment. Midtown. 447 Fifth Avenue. Check the video, ask my doorman. Or ask my date. I believe her name was Celeste.
Special: All right. Let's assume that we believe you. That you're just some creepy old dude that likes to pursue women that don't wanna date you.
Mickey: Fair enough.
Special: What can you tell us about Nicole? Do you know anyone that might want to hurt her?
Mickey: No, like I said, she was great. She was very social. She was very generous.
Special: She was a pimp. Trafficked this kid for sex. Only 15.
Special: You seen her before?
Mickey: Uh... Yeah, she was... She was at the boat party. Okay, look. I knew that Nicole managed some younger models. I even slept with a few of them too. But they were all older than 22. Okay? That's my rule. I only sleep with women older than my daughter.
Special: How noble.
Mickey: There it is again. It's that virtue-signaling do-gooder thing. It's-it's a bad look, right? Just shooting you straight, bro.
Special: Appreciate that.
Special: Did Nicole ever mention she was having any problems? That someone, other than you, of course, was stalking or harassing her?
Mickey: No. But I did see something sort of suspicious the other day. Okay. As I was dropping off the flowers at her building... This is probably nothing... But there was a guy dressed entirely in black, sitting in an SUV on the corner of Chambers and Church. It reminded me of this character that Ryan Gosling played in this picture I just made, Hitman in Love.
Special: All right, we'll look into it. After we check out your alibi, of course. For your sake, I hope it's clean.
Special: For my sake, I hope it isn't.
Mickey: What the hell does that mean?
Special: Means there's this little part of me that hopes you're guilty. Just shooting you straight, bro.

Rowan: Now, as a rule, Martin Vickers doesn't care who he sells to, as long as it's the highest bidder. Hard work is done. I negotiated the price, arranged the meet. All we need is for you to be our Reis and accept delivery. We'll take down Vickers, reclaim the missiles.
Special: This is why I joined the Bureau, ma'am.
Dana: I've already made up my mind. Whatever you need, Rowan.
Assistant: All right, well, the DOJ guidelines say the UC gets to pick the contact agent who will be responsible for for his safety while undercover.
Special: You in?
Special: Of course.
Dana: Then let's get to work. We've got 24 hours to close this deal.

Assistant: Game faces, people. We now have two victims of the same gunman who might not be done shooting yet. Three hours after killing Congressman Reed in the suburbs, our shooter resurfaced in Brooklyn and killed this man, Marcus Ervin. He's 20 years old. He's a retail clerk. Lived with his mother, was taking IT classes at night. The question is why; either there's a connection between these two murders or we have a madman on the loose throwing rocks through random windows and shooting whoever walks out.
Special: If these two men were targeted, they were not killed for their differences. They were killed for their similarities. What do these two men have in common?

Dana: We have an ID on the London assassination.
Jennifer: Thanks to your Dallas field office.
Dana: We were up on a bunch of burner phones bought by Los Zetas.
Assistant: Mexican cartel?
Dana: Mm-hmm. Four minutes before Otan Reis was hit on the tarmac, one of those numbers showed up inbound on a South London cell tower.
Jennifer: Right next to Blackbushe Airport. MI5 couldn't identify the assassin, but we know who was calling him, greenlighting the hit.
Dana: Los Zetas are the competitor.
Assistant: The possibility of Zetas armed with Javelins is horrifying. Border Patrol would be sitting ducks. They could light up every crossing between El Paso and San Diego.

Special: I may have something.
Assistant: Yeah?
Special: A report from Givens' probation officer. He did an unannounced home visit, and in it, he stated that Givens was there with a woman.
Special: This woman have a name?
Special: Terri Prader.
Assistant: Uh-huh.
Jess: [seeing Terri's driver's license picture] That's her. That's Givens' girlfriend.
Assistant: Based on?
Jess: Based on the fact that it looks like his birth mother. He used to carry a picture of her in his wallet.

Special: What was Cruz's involvement with the Jairo Cartel?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: Money laundering, and he was good at it, too. He helped the Jairo Cartel screw over a lot of good people.
Special: Shooter got out of the car to get a better shot at Cruz.
Special: So Cruz was the primary target. The rest were just collateral.
Special: And his wife?
U.S. Marshal Paul Ackerman: She's at the hospital, but she... she didn't know that Cruz was in witness protection.
Special: He didn't tell her?
Special: No, he couldn't. Not if he met her after he already entered the program.

FBI: This is a fugitive case now. Your job is done.
Special: Really? I saw those children. My job is done when Gilman's in custody.
FBI: Jubal will tell you, I work with a small team, people who've known me for years.
Special: Agent LaCroix...
FBI: It's nothing personal. My team has a shorthand, no wasted motions.
Special: Yeah, I caught one of your talks in Quantico three years ago. I know how you work. Just give me this: call me for the takedown.
FBI: No promises. You have passion, Agent Bell. Hold on to it; it's useful.

FBI: Tell us what he was like with you.
Jules: He was shy. First time, he didn't even take off his t-shirt and shorts. He didn't want any extras, just the massage. After, he said he wouldn't be back. Guess who showed up a week later. He wasn't so shy the second time.
FBI: You have sex?
Jules: Uh-huh. He came by every week; massage, then sex. If I wasn't available, he'd wait. Always he'd say that's it, he was never coming back.
FBI: Because he felt guilty?
Jules: He said if his wife found out, he'd lose his family.
FBI: But he kept on coming back.
Jules: He was like "why fight it?".
FBI: People always leave him anyway.
Jules: Yep, like that.
FBI: [her phone buzzes] They got a hit on the phony IDs.
FBI: [they turn to leave] By the way, Jules, Gilman was taking an antibiotic for an STD, so... you take care of yourself.

Damian: You think I killed Logan Reed?
Special: You stood outside his house last week with a gun yelling that he needed to disappear, so, yeah.
Damian: I admit I got carried away with that, but I didn't mean what I said. I don't even own a gun.
Special: All right, let's try this again. Maybe this time don't treat us like idiots.
Damian: [he's shown a camera still with said gun circled] Come on, man. I took that gun off a kid at the rally. He was a hothead. I don't stand for violence.
Special: Except for when you're making death threats.
Special: Or someone throws a brick through the congressman's window.
Damian: The hothead did that. It's a good thing I took away his gun.
Special: You give it back to him?
Damian: I got rid of it at a gun buyback. I got the receipt, if it helps.

Special: We got the shooter, saved a life. Maybe two.
Special: Yeah. I know. I'm supposed to feel good. What DHS was doing was wrong... in my book, at least, and... I still went over there and I used their information.
Special: *We* still ran over there and used the information.
Special: Yeah. We didn't have a choice. But that is such crap... 'cause we do... have a choice. And today we chose to do what was convenient. I guess what I mean is that... you don't get to pick and choose when to have integrity; when to stand up for what's right, you know? When to be the kind of Black woman you want to be.
Special: Look, I get it. I do. And the truth is that sometimes there's a cost to victory. But that doesn't mean that it's not a victory.

FBI: Sheryll'll join me interviewing Mrs. Gilman's bereaved sister.
FBI: You should try doing that hand-holding bit by yourself sometime.
FBI: My hands are not as soft as yours. Clinton, get with the ICE office in Port Chester. Tell 'em we want to talk to Mr. Gilman's co-workers today. Don't let 'em stall you. They had a bad apple; they gotta suck it up and cooperate.
FBI: I'll sweet-talk them.
FBI: Hana, everyone he spoke to on the Net, every site he visited, opinion expressed, his jollies, his follies...
FBI: Yeah, I got it.
FBI: Young Agent Crosby, how are those guns? All mended?
FBI: [flexing his biceps] 100%, boss.
FBI: Excellent. Do us a favor. Next time a fugitive throws a refrigerator down a staircase, don't try to catch it.

FBI: Now, we all know what Mr. Gilman did to get his spot on the Most Wanted. Our job is not to bring justice to Mr. Gilman. Our job is to bring Mr. Gilman to justice.

Special: Are you gonna walk again?
Rowan: [snickers] Uh, they tell me I'll be running a marathon come spring.
Special: I bet.

Analyst: Damon Cruz, formerly Damon Soto. He testified against the Jairo Cartel four years ago, then entered WITSEC.
Special: So, who was he scheduled to testify against this time?
Analyst: Two high-level Jairo players extradicted from Mexico. Cruz's testimony was expected to put them away.
Assistant: Oh, yeah, Cruz was a strong witness, so I guess we don't have to go searching for motive.

Assistant: All right, so the cell phones went offline here. It's a rural area, so there's no street cams.
Special: Okay, I'll head to the scene, try and pick up a trail.
Assistant: Exactly. Grab Maggie, and...
[realizing]
Assistant: Oh. Keep forgetting she's off undercover.
Special: Yeah, me, too.

Special: I don't like him.
Special: You don't have to. Just find his kid.
Special: It'd be easier if he'd cooperate.
Special: He's scared. Either he doesn't see or he doesn't want to see who might do this to him.
Special: So if the victim won't help, what do we do?
Special: Go back to the evidence.

Special: Why'd you single me out? You know exactly what you did. I never understood why. You treated every other student like they were born for the Bureau but me? Why'd you decide I was unworthy? You didn't even know me, man.
Rowan: I picked out one rookie. Every class. Threw everything I had at him, see if he'd break. Not because I thought he was unworthy. 'Cause I thought he had the most potential. Your class, that was you.
Special: Don't give me that.
Rowan: I'm not saying it was right. It's just the way I was taught. Well, I guess I brought that home from the classroom. Did it with my son, too. Look how that turned out.

Special: You know, with no eyewitnesses or video surveillance, that motive is our only jumping-off point.
Special: ERT's processing shell casings and everything else from the scene.
Dana: The Jairo Cartel has resources all over the country. Finding someone to kill Cruz would be easy.
Special: Finding his location wouldn't be.
Assistant: Well, it shouldn't be. So how did the cartel track him down?
Dana: See what you can get from the surviving Marshal, Jim Ruhde.

Analyst: The nanny has no criminal record. No debt, no problems with Immigration. She sends money home to her family in Colombia.
Assistant: Our Bogota office into that?
Analyst: They're paying a visit now, but still. Why ask for a hundred million rather than, say, one million?
Assistant: Maybe someone in her life got mixed up with the cartels. Massive ask is their style.
Analyst: Spending two years taking care of that baby just to set this up?
Assistant: 99 times out a hundred, kids are taken by someone they know. And no one had better access.

Special: When I was a cop in Indiana, I worked a kidnapping with the Bureau. It's actually how I ended up here.
Special: What happened?
Special: Well, we found the kidnappers in under six hours, but the kid was already dead before they even made the ransom demand.
Special: The parents had no idea?
Special: None of us did.

FBI: Tell us about Tom's family.
Michelle: Connie said that his mom ran off when he was young, and I think his dad passed three years ago.
FBI: And what about his friends, did you know them?
Michelle: I don't know if he had any. He was always off on his own, playing with the dog. He barely even talked to his own kids.
