FBI: International (2021) s02e06 Episode Script

Call it Anarchy

1
Péter Tamási.
His auto repair shop is a front
for the Kompania Bello.
The Balkans? Here?
What started as mandatory
protection money has now escalated.
I just wanted to know
if there was anything
- that I could do to help.
- Back the hell off.
The family's too scared
to go to the cops.
Maybe the mob's leaning on him.
Is everything okay?
It's my father.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Whose blood is that?
I get that you're looking out for Zsolt.
- What's the play?
- I don't know.
But I'll figure it out.
[TENSE MUSIC]

[PERSON SHOUTING] [SMACKING]
- [SPEAKS GREEK]
-
- [SPEAKS GREEK]
-
Get him up.
[GROANING]
Help!
More.
Hold him.
The more you move, the worse it will be.
No, no, please, please don't.
[SCREAMING]
[PHONE RINGING]
This is Kody. Leave a message.
Kody, call me back.
I'll be there in five minutes.

[DOOR BUZZER BLARES]
- [SPEAKING GREEK]
-
Do you speak English?
I'm looking for Kody Taylor.
- Who?
- My nephew, Kody Taylor.
He's enrolled in your program.
- Program?
- The archeology program.
He's been here for over a month,
but I haven't heard from him
in the last two weeks,
so I drove out here to check on him.
Madam, Knossos Archaeology School
closed three years ago.

[PHONE BUZZING]
Paige, how are you?
Cameron, something
has gone horribly wrong.
I don't know what happened. I just
Okay, slow down.
Talk to me. What's going on?
It's my nephew.
He's gone.
I need your help.

Mateo Vasa,
the Kompania Bello's main enforcer.
He's the guy who tuned up Zsolt's dad
during their visits to his auto shop.
Did you get this from the HNP?
Smitty reached out
to the Albanian police.
We cross-referenced
your surveillance photos
with Intel from a money
laundering investigation
in 2012.
So Vasa's been doing this
for a while now?
Yeah, did four years at Kruje Prison
for criminal complicity and extortion.
Vo's on her way up. She's got a case.
Actually, it's more of a favor.
Copy. What's our plan of attack here?
I'll handle it.
Oh, that's comforting.
Look, I get it.
Péter Tamási is in a jam,
and you care about his son,
but this is the Kompania Bello,
a ruthless cartel with a history
of drug trafficking,
assaults, and murder.
So if you're gonna go in on them,
you'd better carry a big stick.
Fill us in on this favor.
It's for my friend, Paige Taylor.
Her 16-year-old nephew went missing.
Define missing.
He was supposed to be
at a semester study program
on the island of Crete,
but Paige just found out
that the school shut down
three years ago.
- What's his citizenship?
- It's American.
Paige is stationed at the
U.S. Naval base in Greece.
- How do you know her?
- She took me under her wing
when I was an aide at the Pentagon.
So I just want to do her
a solid and help find Kody.
Has Paige contacted
the Greek authorities?
They did not consider
his disappearance a priority,
so she reached out to the
U.S. embassy in Athens.
Legal Attaché Lewis
is welcoming our help.
Do you have any reason to
believe that Kody's in danger?
Yeah, I mean, no contact for weeks.
Either he lied about
the program or was lied to.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Okay, Vo, run point.
Kellett, go with her.
I have to stay here.
I've got something
to deal with in Budapest.
If anything goes sideways,
I have a couple of ace contacts
with the Hellenic police.
Hoping that is not the case,
and thank you.
If it were my friend,
I would do the same thing.
Good luck.

It's a weird feeling
being on a military base.
It's the closest to home
I've felt in years.
Remind me, what base did you live on?
No, bases.
Cam?
- Hey.
- Hi.
This is Commander Paige Taylor.
Special Agent Jamie Kellett.
Nice to meet you.
Wait, hold on, Captain?
Yeah, I was promoted
after Kody moved here
to live with me,
put in charge of supply ships.
Greece extended
a five-year military
agreement with the
U.S. government.
I wish I could say I made
the right call by accepting,
but the truth is I've been so
slammed shipping army material
through the port that
I really haven't given Kody
the attention he deserves.
When was the last time you saw him?
When I dropped him off in front
of the archeology museum in Chania.
He said the instructors
were coming to pick up
the students attending the program.
Vo mentioned your calls have been
going through to his phone.
Yeah, but he's not picking up.
And his GPS function's been disabled.
So I don't know if he did it
or if someone stole his phone.
We'll search his bedroom,
see if we can find anything
that might give us a lead
on his location.
You're more than welcome to look.
- Okay.
- [SIGHS]
I am so glad that you are here.
Me too.
We have barracks on base
for E4s and below.
E5s and above live off base.
Has Kody been in contact
with his parents?
No, Kody's dad's been
in prison since he was ten,
but his mom called him
from a rehab center
right before he took off
to this archeology school.
That's when she spilled the beans
about her custody battle.
How'd he take the news?
Honestly, he's hard to get a read on.
I have to ask, does Kody struggle
with drugs or alcohol?
Trust me, that's not it.
No, I've been around alcoholics
and addicts my whole life.
I know one when I see one.
He was living in Arizona before?
Yeah, with his mom.
I flew him out here
to have a better life,
and now I'm asking myself
if that backfired.
How long has Kody been living with you?
A year, roughly.
Never really moved in, I guess.
It's been on the list,
you know, to go shopping.
I just haven't gotten around to it.
What'd Kody do while you were at work?
The base doesn't have a school,
so I would drop him off
at the library to study.
- The library on the base?
- Public library.
NSA Souda Bay is a
controlled access installation.
Extended family members
aren't considered dependents,
so Kody can't visit
the base unaccompanied.
Then where does he go to school?
We tried homeschooling,
but that was hard on both of us.
Now he's gonna attend boarding school
in Athens next semester.
Just checking the search history.
So that's the website that he sent me
for the archeology program.
He said he heard about it
from some friends online.
All right, just verifying the age
of the school's website domain.
Looks like the site was
created four months ago.
So it's a sham site.
Maybe he was scammed?
Or I don't know, maybe
he was kidnapped or worse.
Assumptions will not help the situation.
I'm sure he's fine.
Who does Kody spend time with?
Locals? Other kids on the base?
Oh, nobody.
He misses his friends back home.
So he started to withdraw.
I'm sure he'll find his people.
When my dad was deployed,
other families stepped in to help,
and we did the same.
Yeah.
Actually, he started getting better
after he met his girlfriend, Seb.
Her parents also serve in the navy.
She seem like the rebellious type?
I don't know. I've never met her.
I know they used to hang out around town
when she would finish
her shifts at the library.

Sebastian Wilkes?
Do not call me that.
- It's Seb.
- All right, Seb.
We need to know the last time
you spoke to Kody.
Who's Kody?
Your boyfriend, Kody Taylor.
The kid who comes in
to use the public computers.
- He's not my boyfriend.
- Hey, think hard.
I only spoke to him once
when he opened his library card.
Okay, tell us more about the computers.
Wait, is this, like,
about the porn or something?
Elaborate on that.
I'm not gonna lie,
weirdos come in all the time
to watch porn under the radar.
What about Kody?
Oh, he just used the computers
for chat groups and online games
with all that fantasy crap.
Well, Kody usually
had my laptop with him.
Why would he use a public computer?
Because he knows
you have full access,
and he's trying
to hide something.
Does he have his own user account?
I can get you his username,
but members create their own passwords.
We're gonna need that.
Hey, Vo, you still with me?
Yeah, find anything?
I did Kody's been using
a Discord app to communicate
through secure text chatting.
Server name blackcat.
Text channel Typhon.
Okay, I got, like, 50% of that.
Can you walk us through it?
Kody's been operating
under an alias name, Scylla.
He's been communicating
with users protesting
the arrest of Theo Elias.
Bad dude.
He was caught shipping
parcel bombs to Europol.
Openly admitted to being the leader
of a Greek left-wing anarchist
group, Typhon Faction.
Greece is a hotbed
for left-wing anarchism.
The U.S. State Department
designated that group
as a terrorist organization.
Oh, these guys are violent.
Looks like one of the users,
Griffin, has been organizing riots.
Wait, wait, go back.
Is that Kody?
Photo was posted under his alias.
No, no, it can't be.
No, he's never been violent.
If it is Kody, they're grooming him.

All I'm asking is that
you keep this between us.
You know, if the wrong person
were to find out,
I could lose my custody battle
with Kody's mom.
Paige, Kody is affiliating with members
of a terrorist cell
blatantly advocating violence.
Maybe it's not what it looks like.
Maybe it's exactly what it looks like.
No, Kody's mom was always
trying to turn him against me.
I bet you she lured him
on a plane back to the U.S.
We have checked the flight records.
If he is involved with these people,
we need to use
our resources to find him.
Let's prevent Kody from making a mistake
he cannot come back from.

This is one of Smitty's contacts,
Sergeant Kostas Artino
with the Hellenic police.
Agent Cameron Vo.
Thank you for letting us use
your office here in Chania.
Of course. Whatever you need.
You've already met Captain Paige Taylor?
Yes.
And I apologize for not
having turned our focus
to your nephew's disappearance.
The department has been busy working
on a major investigation.
[PHONE BUZZES]
It's Kody. It's the first I've
heard from him in weeks.
Pan-Pan?
Military duress code.
Means there's an urgent situation.
What's up?
The GPS function
on Kody's phone is disabled,
but he just texted Paige.
Send me his number. I'll see if I
can get a ping using the cell towers.
Oh, I screwed up.
I screwed up. I shouldn't have
We are gonna figure this out, okay?
Any luck?
Yeah, the text was sent
from a rural location
just outside Chania, 41 562 Katochori.

Stay in the car.
[SPEAKS GREEK]
FBI, search warrant.

Clear!
Kellett. You're gonna wanna see this.
What the hell was going on here?
If Kody was being radicalized,
then why hurt him?
Because they gave him a beatdown, eh,
or what you call it in America?
It's being jumped in.
But he wouldn't have sent
the duress signal.
He wanted out, so they tortured him.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Maybe this wasn't his blood.
I mean, left-wing extremist groups,
they do not punish or haze.
They seduce to build faith and trust.
Vo, come take a look at this.
What if they found out
Off-road mud tires.
The tread blocks indicate only
one vehicle was parking here.

[LINE TRILLS]
Raines, I need you to get
another ping on Kody's phone.
Already did.
Phone's moving towards Chania
at 65 kilometers per hour.
We're on our way.
[SIREN WAILING]
Phone's moving northwest
on Andrea Papandreou
at 45 kilometers per hour.
I'll break off, and we'll surround him.
Copy.
Okay, slowing to a stop in Old Town.
On the move again,
8 kilometers per hour.
Turn south. Street's empty.
Current location main square.
He's stopped moving.
You'll get there faster on foot.

Kody Taylor, everything's gonna be okay.
I'm with the American FBI.
I'm friends with your aunt,
Paige Taylor.
They took off, blue sedan.
- Kody.
- Blue sedan!
Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Kody, I'm gonna
have to ask you some questions
at the police station, and I promise you
we will find whoever did this.
- Ow.
- Are you okay?
I need a medic.
Yeah, on the base.
We're gonna meet you
at the medical center.
Here, let me see.
Go ahead and put it in park.
Identification?
Isolated and impressionable,
and Kody was ripe for the picking.
Must have been hard
growing up on a military base.
It wasn't easy, but I found my purpose.
You find it weird that you and Artino
couldn't get a tail on the
blue sedan that fled the scene?
Was it a sedan?
The tire treads outside the mill
don't match the vehicle type.

The swelling should go down.
I'll be fine with an ice pack.
Here you go.
Kody, can you tell us who did this?
Kody, I need you to talk to them
before you talk
to the local police, okay?
They're here to protect you.
We know you've been communicating
with Typhon Faction online.
We've seen the pictures.
Why did you lie about where you've been?
One of the older guys invited me
to his grandparents' olive farm
so I could learn about their philosophy,
logic, ethics to expose the corruption
and lies in this world.
And his name?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Everyone calls him Griffin.
And what about the archeology program?
Typhon Faction, they use it to train
new recruits without
anyone asking questions.
It's called indoctrination.
And once you finish,
you have to go through an initiation
at their clubhouse.
That's why I didn't let
the nurse examine me yet.
This is how I proved
to them that I was ready.
Ready for what?
The plan.
Kody, what plan?
They only sort of brought me in on it
after I passed the initiation.
They're planning an attack
at the Festival of Culture in Heraklion.
I thought we'd be doing
protests, making posters,
fighting for true freedom.
I didn't know anything about IEDs.
I'll call Smitty.
Kody, at what point did you text
your aunt the duress code?
After I told them I wanted out,
Griffin said that wasn't an option.
I got worried what
they might do to me, so.
Why didn't you send your location?
I tried, but they threw me in a car
and started driving fast.
How'd you escape?
I opened the door.
I jumped out.
That's why I hurt my wrist.
And remind me,
what kind of vehicle was it?
Blue sedan, an old beater.
Cam, can I
I need to talk to you
outside for a second.
Kody, the information you told us
could save a lot of lives.

I don't know how I missed the red flags.
He kept bringing up local politics.
I mean, he was always talking
about his real friends online.
I thought he was talking about
his American friends back home.
I don't understand
how I could have let him
Hatred is born in ignorance.
And if hate can be learned,
it can be unlearned.
[SOFT MUSIC]

Thank you so much, Cam.
Excuse me.
I'm gonna take Kody to the commissary.
I'm sure he's starving.
Your friend's turning a blind eye.
- Something's off.
- I know.
I don't think Kody was expecting us
to trace his phone.
I mean, he just told us
that he threw himself
out of a moving vehicle?
I took a good look at his hands
Zero indication of road rash.
Kody's lying.
Thanks for jumping on a plane.
It turned out to be
a lot bigger than we expected.
Always does.
I'd like you to meet my mate,
Lieutenant Colonel Dinos Markovic,
Unit Commander of the Greek
Special Suppressive Anti-terrorist Unit.
My unit's evacuating
the Festival of Culture.
Bomb Squad's monitoring the
area for suspicious packages.
Smitty helped us put away Theo Elias
after he shipped a series
of parcel bombs to Europol HQ.
From what we know, Theo was
the leader of the group
- that's been grooming Kody.
- Yes.
Typhon Faction
anarchist group left-wing
Operates like a hydra.
When we take down one of the leaders,
they retaliate with violence.
So it's possible an attack is imminent,
and Kody isn't just
throwing dust in our eyes.
Absolutely. Intel says they're
in the midst of a resurgence,
fully capable of committing
a major terrorist attack.
But you've been fighting
these groups since the '70s
Assassinations, bombings.
They've never hit a festival.
Right, left-wing violence
is many politically driven.
Perhaps the threat was a decoy,
send us to the wrong place.
Groups like this get off on
embarrassing law enforcement.
So what's the real target?
Police officers, embassies,
government buildings,
members of the Hellenic Parliament.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
We need to get ahead of this.
Keep your units on the ground for now.

How many red flags is that?
Red flags are like pimples
on prom night.
It only takes one.
Kody's protecting them.
You need to boil it down
to the areas worth attacking.
Find out why Kody is throwing us off.
Are you confident that
you can get the truth
out of him without
his aunt interfering?
Otherwise, Kellett can step in.
No, it's not the first time
I've had to separate my personal life
to get the job done.
Good. You're doing it right.
Touch base later.

[SPORTS COMMENTATOR
SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Careful!
Pulling a gun on an American Fed,
that's not something
you want to do today.

Smart man.
Let's see if you can keep that up.
You walk into Péter Tamási's
auto shop every week.
He does what you ask,
and you promise him protection.
It turns out he doesn't need it.
He's under the protection
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- [SPEAKING GREEK]
-
Oh, I know who you work for,
and I don't care.
You see, my team did a deep dive
on your boss's financials.
Go ahead.
Take a look.
There's information
on his front companies,
shell accounts, surveillance photos.
Now, come Monday morning,
the head of Europol
is gonna get a fresh pile
of suspicious activity reports
on her desk, meaning law enforcement
from ten different countries
are gonna carry out
coordinated raids
on your boss's businesses.
And I will personally let him know
that he can send a thank-you basket
to you and your buddies here, hmm?
Or you can leave Péter Tamási alone.
Forever.
That's your choice.

Enjoy the game.
Vo, what's wrong?
I just want you to
know there's a reason
for what I have to do right now.
Which is what?
I need to talk to Kody.
Okay, just let me
Just Kody alone.
At Chania police headquarters.
No, the three of us
can have a conversation
right now in the living room.
Either he comes with me
or the local cops.
That's up to you.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]

The attack you told us about,
that was never gonna happen at
the Festival of Culture, huh?
So either your friends lied to you,
or you lied to us.
Which one is it?
I know they're planning something.
I just don't want
innocent people to get hurt.
Kody, if we find out that
you're protecting your friends
and innocent people do get hurt,
your aunt is going down
the tubes with you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
And you know what's worse?
You're gonna end up in Greek prison
for the rest of your life alone.
The attack is happening.
I swear.
Right now, only one person
knows the truth.
And when I come back with the polygraph,
that'll make two.
Paige, something is not
adding up, and you know it.
He's already told you
everything that he knows.
Why isn't that enough?
Because this is no longer
about you and him.
It's time you ask yourself,
how much are you willing to
sacrifice in your personal life
in order to protect the public?
[TENSE MUSIC]

Kody's right where she wants him.
He knows he can't beat the box,
so he's ready to crack.
Never knew Vo was
a certified poly examiner.
Tough exam to pass.
One of the many reasons
Forrester wanted her on the team.
[BUZZER BLARES]
It's okay.
I want you to know you can talk to me
about anything, okay?
I'm just trying to help.
I'm all nervous, and she's
gonna think that I'm lying.
No, I know you're not a liar,
but I can see you're upset.
So if there is anything
that you haven't told me,
you need to tell me right now.
Polygraph machine
analyzes a number of factors
in order to detect a lie
Your pulse
Your breath
Perspiration.
I'll ask you a series
of baseline questions.
We can start whenever you're ready.
Okay, okay.
I'll tell you everything.
You don't need to run the test.
Good.
What can you tell me about the attack?
While I was in training,
Griffin kept asking
about the naval base.
What about it?
How to access it,
but I told him I didn't know.
I told them I'd only ever been there
when I sprained my ankle.
And that's when they got their new plan.
If they'd rough me up, then you'd
take me to the medical center.
The U.S. renewed a military deal
that expands their presence in Greece?
Yeah, access to three bases.
So those who oppose the deal believe
that their country is being turned
into an American military base.
Is the target U.S. military?
Kody, look at your aunt in the eye.
Tell her the real reason they hurt you.
I planted something on the base,
something to get them inside.

[SIRENS WAILING]
Chief Master-at-Arms Kevin Davis.
We're looking for an incendiary device.
Kody attached it to one
of the security gates.
A member of the cell scouted
the perimeter
of the base when planning the attack.
My team will secure the east gate.
We'll move north along the west.
I'll lock down the surrounding area
and set up a three-block perimeter.
Make it five.
This is a coordinated attack.
We do not know how many members
of the cell are working together.
Suspects are likely carrying IEDs,
unknown level of sophistication.
Bomb techs are on their way from
Heraklion with the Antiterrorist Unit.
Copy. We'll proceed with caution.
All right, lights on, let's roll.

Moving up.
Fall back.
Mud tires match the suspect vehicle.
Clear.
This is Special Agent Jamie Kellett.
Suspect vehicle is parked outside
the northwest corner of the base.
Send bomb techs to assess.
Copy.

This is where Kody planted the explosive
that gained the terrorists access.
The lock panel was only accessible
from inside the base.
Paige took Kody to the commissary.
He must have snuck away
and set it off in the daylight.
Improvised thermite grenade.
Reaches 4,500 degrees.
The size of a soda can.
So that's why Kody didn't
want the nurse to examine him,
not because of the
branded into his chest.
He stashed the grenade on his body.
Let's go.

I've got a pulse. [GUNSHOTS]
Smitty!
Shots fired, shots fired!
[SPEAKS GREEK]
Go!
[PEOPLE SHOUTING IN GREEK]
- Move!
- Moving.
Moving!
[GRUNTS]

Special Agent Cameron Vo.
Suspects are heavily armed,
requesting backup.
[TENSE MUSIC]
- Move.
- Moving.
Step into view! Show us your hands!
We say no to war.
We say no to the bases of death.

The tank's pressurized.
If the liquid reaches
boiling point,
it'll rupture and
take out the others.
We need the fire squad right now.
- [GROANS]
- We're sitting ducks.
Where's backup?
If we don't get the fire squad
in here right now,
this whole thing's gonna blow up.
Move! Move!
[ALL SHOUTING]

Bang out!
[GRUNTS]
[ALL GROANING]
Weapons down! Let me see your hands now!
Drop your weapons! Get on the ground!
Suspects in custody! Clear the area!
Clear for the fire squad.
[SIREN WAILING]

- Go! Let's go!
- Get the water!
Five out! Ladder 12, with me!
Fire up that LDA! Let's get pressure!

What happened? Are you okay?
You could call it anarchy.
Smitty got hit,
but she's okay, thankfully.
One of your soldiers was found
unconscious at the scene.
The terrorists?
One of them didn't make it, but the rest
are being taken into custody.
What's gonna happen to Kody?
Joining an extremist group is one thing,
but participating in a terrorist attack?
Come on, Cam,
you work for the most powerful
law enforcement agency in the world.
When I was sworn in,
I accepted the responsibility
to make the hard right
and not the easy wrong,
and we both did.
These people made Kody their puppets.
They manipulated him.
They forced him into believing their
He did what he did
because he wanted to belong
and not because of their ideology.
Look, I messed up, not him.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
So please, forgive him.
- Paige.
- He confessed.
So if our friendship means anything

Artino took a run at Griffin?
Yeah, real name Petros Gaziz,
23, Greek national.
Parents were killed in a
car accident six years ago.
The reason he inherited
his family's olive farm.
Goes to uni at the National
and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Makes sense, Typhon Factions
are made of young, educated,
and affluent individuals.
Petros kept his mouth shut,
but the youngest member flipped,
gave up 20 terrorists connected to cells
throughout Greece and the EU.
One team, one fight.
The only way to stop violent extremism.
What do you want to do with Kody?

Paige has asked me to get involved.
Someone who's
dedicated their life to
defend their country
should know better.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just that
she's been through hell
and back with her family.
You know, with Jaeger's big promotion
came some big connections.
I can always see if there's
a deal she could work out,
but I have to ask.
Is this kid worth it?

- Want one?
- No thanks.
Quit a long time ago.
Yeah, me too.
So where we at?
Kody won't be tried as an adult,
but he'll be extradited to the U.S.,
where he'll serve time
at a DYS facility.
The navy agreed to pair him
with one of the best mentors
to guide him through the
De-radicalization process.
You know, I mentored you.
I taught you everything I know.
You know what the worst part is?
I'm the one that asked you to
come here in the first place.
What were you expecting?
Soldiers almost died, Paige.
Soldiers you swore to protect.

What's this?
Rétes.
Hungarian strudel from my mom.
Really? That's nice of her.
My dad let me come
to his auto shop this morning.
That hasn't happened in a while.
I'm glad to hear it.
I know you did something.
[PENSIVE MUSIC]

[PHONE RINGS]
I took another risk helping
someone I felt close to.
And I lost another friendship
because of it.
Choosing to do what's
proportionate and legal
is tough, but you made the right call.
Why wasn't it different this time?
I'll tell you the same thing
that I told Raines.
If you're not willing
to take risks on this job,
then go sell ice cream.
See you back at home.
