FBI (2018) s07e21 Episode Script
Devoted
1
7 million strong,
marching shoulder
to shoulder with Calvin.
Jed "Duke" Ducoyle's
an extremist pundit
with millions of followers.
This is a grift.
Calvin's an anonymous
online conspiracy theorist.
Think Q but somehow more extreme.
So Calvin posts five words.
Duke decodes it.
He's directing people
to kill in the real world.
- I don't recognize
- I don't recognize
I don't recognize your authority.
People are dead because of you.
Calvin posted all the intel.
You know, this conversation
would go a lot smoother
if you would just admit
that you are Calvin.
Don't move!
We have a shooter.
Now we just have to prove
Duke drove him to kill.
He trusted that
that I could get the job done.
Jed Ducoyle, you are under arrest.
You've accomplished nothing
by arresting me today.
Get prepared,
'cause a war is coming,
and Calvin's ready to fight.
Oh, my God. You should have seen it.
She hit the fadeaway jumper,
half second left on the clock!
Thing of beauty.
Sounds like the basketball
hoop in the backyard's
- working out.
- Yeah.
Paint me a proud dad.
Mmm!
What do you think?
You got to be kidding me
with this thing.
Right? Best cannoli I have ever tasted.
And my nonna's from Sicily,
so that's saying something.
That makes this a real tragedy.
I take no joy in putting
this place six feet under,
but you don't pay what you owe,
things get ugly.
You about done?
Man, I hope they don't cry.
I hate it when they cry.

Carolyn Eugene, head of
the New York IRS field office.
Agent Bell. This is Agent Zidan.
I'm sorry to hear about your guys.
Yeah, it's a
hell of a call to get.
Hank Tamburello died on scene
of multiple stab wounds
from an unknown assailant.
His partner, uh, Russell Kreider,
tried to intervene,
was stabbed right over here,
died en route to the hospital.
Both of my guys were special agents
with our Criminal Investigation
Division.
Assuming there were multiple witnesses.
Half the breakfast crowd.
My guys were here for an audit.
Business had been
underreporting, hiding money.
Guy must have been waiting for them
jumped off his bike, came in,
started stabbing.
The owner know that
your guys were coming?
Maybe they were prepared to fight back.
Uh, no.
No, owner had no idea.
NYPD get a description?
Guy had a motorcycle helmet on
dragon logo, full leathers,
visor kept their face hidden.
Medium build,
sped off around that corner.
They had the knife in their hand,
according to multiple witnesses.
Okay, we'll get the JOC
to run all the security cameras
in the area.
We'll find this guy.
We're here, and we're going
to do everything we can.
Thank you.
- Here's your oat latte.
- Amazing.
Thank you.
Oh, excuse me.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]

We good here?
Yeah, Patrick, I'm good. Thanks.
♪
Okay, so, earlier today,
IRS special agents Hank Tamburello
and Russell Kreider
were victims of a brutal knife attack
in Little Italy.
Both Tamburello and Kreider
died of their wounds.
These men were federal agents
just like us.
So, come hell or high water, we
are going to get them justice.
Agreed?
How we doing with surveillance?
ERT combed the area
for security cameras.
This is right across from the café.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, can we zoom in
on the mystery perp's bike?
- Plates or?
- No can do.
Our suspect used a plate flipper
to conceal their license number,
and the helmet prevented any facial rec.
But if you look close, there is a decal
- of a dragon logo on the back.
- All right.
You guys want to run with that image,
see what you can chase down?
Should stick to street cams,
see what else you can find.
You're profiling the victims.
Any enemies? Long-standing grudges?
Well, both men were special agents
in the IRS's Criminal
Investigation Division.
Right, of course, they worked
major financial crimes
fraud, money laundering
Tamburello put away over 80 criminals
on various charges.
Could be motive there.
Right, so no shortage of suspects
who might want to see him dead.
Maybe this was a hired assassination.
Wait a minute. Got something.
Yeah? What? Show me.
71 seconds later, our biker reappears.
But notice anything missing?
Let me get in closer on the image.
His pockets are empty,
meaning there's
No weapon.
Must have ditched it between
this place and the café.
Good work. Get a team out there.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Knife attacks are
pretty rare in the U.S.
They only account for
one out of ten homicides.
To brutally stab two people
Yeah, in broad daylight in a busy café.
I don't know. This one feels personal.
Yeah, or targeted.
Ooh, winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Look at this.
We should be able to get
some DNA off of that.
Yeah. Look at that etching.
♪
Well, that's a bit bolder
than I was expecting.
Yeah, according to the ERT report,
no fingerprints, but, uh,
let's take a look at the design
- etched on the blade.
- Yeah.
It's called a maker's mark.
It's like a signature.
Okay, yeah, we got a hit.
That's the hallmark for Ivar Asghari.
He's a local bladesmith
working out of Greenpoint.
Asghari's social media accounts
are full of libertarian
anti-tax sentiment.
We thinking the knife maker
hates the taxman?
Guy's got a rap sheet
half a block long
mostly drugs, resisting arrest.
I'd say it's time to pay
this bladesmith a visit.
[HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[BLADE WHIRRING]
Ivar Asghari? FBI.
Appointment only. And it's Ee-var.
[SIGHS]
[WHIRRING CONTINUES]
Did you like something on my site,
or you want something custom?
[MUSIC STOPS]
Did you hear us? We're the FBI.
Not a little curious
as to what we're doing here?
Well, I'm not going
to incriminate myself.
What an incredibly
incriminating thing to say.
Two men were brutally stabbed
with a knife that was made here.
- Who bought it?
- You got a warrant?
If you'd like,
we can head down to 26 Fed,
have this conversation
in the interrogation room.
I'm not legally obligated
to tell you anything about my customers.
All right, call the JOC,
get the warrant.
We're gonna tear this place apart.
What?
Well, your personal maker's mark
was on the steel of the murder weapon.
So we're just gonna assume
that you were the last one to use it.
We need to expedite the search warrant
for Ivar Asghari, suspicion of murder.
Okay, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on, hold on.
- I sold that knife.
- To who?
[SIGHS] I got it right here.
[BOX CREAKS, PAPERS RUSTLE]
Name is Sandra Longo.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
All right, JOC just sent over the file.
She operates heavy machinery.
She has no priors, and she's
not connected to any of the victims.
Yeah, something's not adding up.
The IRS Criminal Division
usually goes after corrupt billionaires,
not blue-collar workers.
She's not right for this.
Well, maybe she can lead us
to whoever is.
[BEEPING]
Is that her?
Sandra.
Hey, Sandra!
- Turn it off!
- Sorry. What do you need?
We're the FBI.
I'm Special Agent Bell.
This is Special Agent Zidan.
Look, can you come down here?
We have a few questions for you.
Is there a problem?
Where were you this morning
before you clocked in?
Why?
Two men were murdered
in Brooklyn this morning.
The weapon used was this knife.
We were able to track it back to you.
That yeah, that was mine,
but I gave it to a consignment
shop a while back.
I can get you the name of
the place if you give me a sec.
No, no, no. Hold on. Is that your bike?
- What?
- Your bike.
No, that's my boyfriend's. Why?
Okay, we need you to get down.
Yeah, get down right now. Come on.
Hey!
♪
Sandra Longo, hands up!
[SIGHS]
You're under arrest for the
murder of two federal agents.
Drop the phone.
♪
We can tie the murder weapon
back to you.
Also, your motorcycle helmet
is identical
to the one used by today's assailant.
So, tell us, why did you
target Hank Tamburello
and Russell Kreider?
I don't recognize your authority.
Okay, here's what's gonna happen next.
You will be put at the scene,
and we will charge you
with first-degree murder
of two federal agents.
I don't get it.
You're getting stellar
performance reviews at work.
Your manager said that you were on track
to be promoted within the year.
Why throw all that away?
What's this really about?
I don't recognize your authority.
Well, that sounds familiar.
Yeah, I wanted to make sure,
so I got the JOC
to pull these interviews.
BOTH: I don't recognize
your authority.
Remember that's all they would say
after they attacked
the Greenwich monument?
Yeah, because they're Calvin followers.
I can't believe there
are still people who think
there's a highly-placed Fed named Calvin
leaking classified information.
There are, but I thought
we silenced Calvin.
We did. The Calvin account
has been radio silent
for the last few months.
Then yesterday
A new post on the forums that reads,
"Beware the brewing tempest."
We're not going to play this game again.
Everybody knows there is no Calvin.
It's Duke.
Duke Ducoyle is the one behind the mask.
He's the one decoding the messages,
raking in the cash from all of
his brainwashed followers.
I am telling you right now,
Duke is behind this,
and I want to know how.
[DOOR CLICKS CLOSE]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Isobel.
You okay?
Yeah.
I should have seen this coming.
Duke's trial for inciting
violence starts next month.
It's got to be related.
Duke's cocky, but he's smart.
You really think that he would risk
violating the terms of his bond?
That doesn't track.
People have been following me.
What?
It started when I went after Duke.
Like, I would I would feel them
standing behind me, watching.
You know, just today in
my coffee shop, this creep
he just stood there,
blocking my way like a pillar.
- What'd he say to you?
- Nothing.
He didn't have to.
I mean, the Calvin account
didn't mention me by name,
so can I prove that it's Duke? No.
But they're only getting bolder.
I brought the issue to ADIC Reynolds.
He assigned me and Phillip
a security detail.
I'm sorry.
This stuff can mess with your head.
And you really can talk to me
about these things.
Maggie, I am your SAC.
And I'm your friend.
You know, we need to
take Duke down for good.
I'm going to pay
that little snake a visit.
There he is.
- Not interested.
- We got a warrant.
Move.
So why'd you order Sandra Longo
to murder two IRS agents?
I think we've done this dance before,
and I'm a little busy right now.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Uh, Duke, is that a finger?
♪
It is, but it's not what it looks like.
Duke, whose finger is it?
- Obviously not yours.
- I have no interest
in dragging the deep state into this.
Well, we're here,
and whatever that is doing
there now involves us,
so start talking.
My wife, Trishelle,
disappeared two days ago.
Last night her finger showed up
on my doorstep, so
I put it on ice, you know, just in case.
Why wouldn't you call the FBI?
The FBI?
The U.S. attorney is already
giving me a free colonoscopy,
thanks to you.
Last thing I need are more feebs
tromping mud all over my brand.
Just tell us what happened.
[SIGHS] Trishelle went
to hot yoga on Tuesday,
like always, but she didn't come home.
When she wasn't back by dinner,
I got nervous.
And then she calls.
I answer it, but it's not her.
It's a gravelly voice.
This guy says, "I have your wife.
Await further instructions." Click.
I call back, but her phone's
gone to voicemail ever since.
And then her finger arrived.
In a manila envelope,
wrapped in two-ply.
Hey, you got security cameras?
Maybe we can see who dropped it off.
Security cameras? They steal your data.
It's like installing
your own personal narc.
[SIGHS] Okay.
And the kidnappers,
what were their demands? Money?
I go to trial next month.
I'd like assurances that any
statement I make here today
will not be used against me
in a court of law.
- Duke.
- You had no idea
what was going on before you got here,
and I'm not in cuffs.
So you need me for something.
Fine, we'll recommend
that your statement
isn't used against you, in
the interest of public safety.
Now, what did the kidnappers want?
They demanded my password
to the Calvin account.
Your password.
So you're finally admitting
that you were posting as Calvin
all along?
Yes. Who cares?
It's immaterial! It doesn't matter!
What matters is,
they're holding my wife!
♪
We can't trust Duke Ducoyle.
The man is a professional liar.
- He's working an angle.
- Yeah. No, no, agreed.
Look, I-I know we we all want
to connect this back to Duke,
but so far, we've found zero connection
between him and our two dead IRS agents.
I mean, look, I-I
I want to see this guy go down
as badly as anyone,
but it looks like he has
no motive to lie here.
Okay, let's say Duke
is telling the truth.
Someone new is running
the Calvin account,
which means that person
can use the account
to communicate with
7 million loyal followers.
Yeah, so
how is the new Calvin communicating
with Sandra Longo?
That's the question.
He got Sandra Longo
to carry out a specific hit.
Well, we've we've scoured her 4chan,
her Discord accounts nothing so far.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
- [SIGHS]
We are missing something.
The ME just confirmed the severed finger
did belong to Trishelle Ducoyle.
So that supports Duke's story.
We've got to figure out how
to get Sandra to start talking.
Although if I have to hear
"I do not recognize your
authority" one more time
You know, Sandra Longo
she may not recognize our authority,
but we happen to have
one of her idols in custody
the high priest of Calvinism.
♪
[SIGHS]
Duke Ducoyle.
Before we go any further,
I'd like to address
the elephant in the room.
I missed you, too.
I know that you have been
sending your sycophants
to stalk me and my family.
I'm sure I don't know
what you're talking about.
[SIGHS] This little game of yours
it is not gonna work forever.
I'm joining you in there.
I can get this Calvinite to talk,
but not with a deep-state Fed
hovering over my shoulder.
You're everything these people despise.
Thanks to your propaganda. Follow me.
That woman in there has information
that could lead us to your wife,
so there is no way in hell
I am leaving you in there unsupervised.
All right. Better let me do the talking.
[DOOR BUZZES]
- Oh, my God. Duke Ducoyle?
- The one and only.
[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
I-I've watched every episode
of "The Path."
Ah, thank you.
Wait, what are you doing here with them?
Calvin has friends everywhere.
The real question, Sandra,
is, can we trust you?
Of course.
I-I've been following Calvin
from day zero.
I'm a true believer.
Good, because Calvin
might be in trouble.
And we need your help.
Did Calvin ever ask you
to go after anyone else?
Maybe that woman?
No.
He only contacted me about
the IRS agent, Tamburello.
Wait, he contacted you? Only you?
Yeah. He chose me.
Calvin he doesn't take chances.
He's careful. Why did he choose you?
Because he knows
that I'm ready to fight.
I've been here since
the very first drop.
He knows I'm loyal.
Well, if that's true,
how did he contact you?
Through a new app.
Calvin messaged me privately.
He said there was this
deep-state detractor
causing him problems,
threatening to ruin everything.
But he said that I was the
warrior that could save him.
What app?
Okay, so Sandra just gave up
her method of communication
with the new Calvin Plumage
some social media app for birders
that has a hidden
encrypted messaging feature.
Yeah, should have known.
That app can't tell
the difference between
a blue warbler and a house finch.
It's Whac-A-Mole with these
illicit communication apps.
Shut one down, a new one pops up.
But if the app exists,
we can get into it, right?
Has the dive team
recovered Sandra's phone
so we can scrape its data?
Yeah, but it still needs
to be cleaned and dried out
- before we can exploit it.
- Hey, good news
Sandra's Plumage account
is synced to the app's cloud.
- Downloading all of her DMs.
- Really?
Okay, here we go. Let's see here.
There, that avatar
is the same one Calvin uses
on the other accounts.
Here we go "My devoted warrior,
"a deep-state detractor
"could cost us everything
we've fought for.
"Silence an IRS agent named
Hank Tamburello in the name of justice."
Yeah, it doesn't get
any clearer than that.
He even gave her Tamburello's
home and work addresses.
Can we try Calvin's account
on the bird app,
get a location on where
he sent the messages from?
Yeah, pulling 5G data
from Plumage's mobile back end.
Triangulating TCP and UDP endpoints.
Calvin sent his messages
from an abandoned storefront
on Apollo Street.

You're safe now.
[BREATHING RAGGEDLY]
All right, so Trishelle Ducoyle
has been recovered
her kidnapper remains at large.
OA describes a 6'3" white male, beard,
jeans, and a brown jacket,
last seen heading south.
Okay, uh, check cameras
within a four-block radius.
None are working in that vicinity.
We're expanding our search.
Jubal, Calvin just posted a new message.
- He this one is live.
- What?
[DISTORTED VOICE] Hue and cry,
Calvin stands before you.
To my loyal warriors,
rattle the cages.
Be loud. Be known.
Make them fear us.
And to the FBI cabal who just
tried to capture me
and thwart our greater mission,
you listen to my words,
and you listen very closely.
Release the Greenwich 41
those righteous soldiers
who were unlawfully detained
outside the
Greenwich National Monument.
You release them from your
custody by 2:00 p.m. today.
Or
tomorrow your deep-state puppets
will die.
♪
The Greenwich riot was a disgrace.
41 of Calvin's most strident followers
showed up at his command.
NYPD were injured,
federal property destroyed.
Our own agents were attacked
and assaulted.
Now, make no mistake
we are not releasing the Greenwich 41.
But whoever gained control
of the Calvin account
has made their demands clear
release the 41, or two more
deep-state puppets will die.
Well, that is not going to happen,
because we're going to stop this.
Right now, the 41 are being held
at the Mullin Detention Center.
Their joint trial
is set to start this week.
Which explains the timing
and urgency of the threat.
So who is the new Calvin targeting?
Who are these two deep-state
puppets in his crosshairs?
Government employees, no doubt.
There are a dozen agencies
active on this case,
including our own people.
- Could be anyone.
- Right.
Our best lead is Duke Ducoyle's wife,
but she's elected not to answer
any questions.
I know how to make her talk.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Doctor Carter
[PA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTINUE]
You again.
I'm here to see my wife.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This isn't a free visit.
She's not giving us
the information that we need.
Yeah, Trishelle won't talk
to you unless I'm there.
- We know.
- She saw her kidnapper.
We need to find out who that is.
Fine. Let's go.
Baby love, I was a wreck without you.
I didn't want them here
either, believe me.
Just answer their questions,
and they'll be gone.
Mrs. Ducoyle, again,
we are trying to identify your abductor.
Anything you remember
could help us out right now.
I don't recognize your authority.
Trish, it's okay.
Just tell them what you know.
And I don't recognize you.
Babe, enough.
No.
You used to care about
the deeper mission, Duke.
[SCOFFS]
You were the king.
And then you gave it all up.
You just walked away.
Trishelle, I'm being
prosecuted by the state.
I thought we were both devoted
to Calvin, to his cause.
I thought you would be excited
to know that he chose me
me, Duke to be a part
of something greater.
He cut off your finger.
I gave it to him!
Calvin needed a sacrifice, he said,
to free the 41.
And I was more than happy to help.
What are you talking about?
This is war, Duke!
You used to know that! [SCOFFS]
Calvin told me you'd gone soft,
that you'd lost the will to fight.
I didn't want to believe him.
I am Calvin, Trish!
I am! I invented him!
This other guy
is nothing but an impostor.
Calvin told me you'd say that.
Just tell us about your kidnapper.
Or what?
I pity you, Duke.
You're asleep,
and you don't even know it.
Calvin is ready for war.
He was even willing to punish
the deep-state detractor
who was living in his midst.
What are you willing
to sacrifice for our cause?
[GROANS]
What happened to you?
All right.
So we are down the rabbit hole
on this one, folks.
Trishelle Ducoyle believes
the man who kidnapped her
was the real Calvin.
Be that as it may, she did say
something that might help
that Calvin punished
a deep-state detractor
living in his midst.
The message Calvin sent from
his account to Sandra Longo
referred to Agent Tamburello
as a deep-state detractor.
Right, but the the "living
in his midst," the new part
so is Tamburello someone
our guy works with,
someone he sees every day?
Maybe he's someone
from the neighborhood.
Hey, uh, check this out.
So here are the residents
of Hank Tamburello's building.
Now, if we cross-reference them
with the families
connected to the Greenwich 41,
we might find a nexus.
Aha, here we go.
Rob Whitfield.
- Would you believe it?
- What? This is a neighbor?
They live across the hall
from each other.
Really? Okay.
And he's 6'3". He's got a beard.
He matches the description
of the guy OA ran into.
What do we know about him?
Rob Whitfield is a software engineer.
No priors.
He's posted some
conspiratorial nonsense online,
but other than that, no red flags.
Right, but he's got
a connection to the 41, right?
- What is it?
- His brother was one of them.
Chris Whitfield was arrested
that day at the monument.
He attacked a police officer
with a pipe.
And Tamburello lives
10 feet from this guy?
That's right.
If you're so inclined,
that sounds a hell of a lot
like a deep-state detractor
living in his midst.
It's a hell of a way
to deal with a neighbor.
We need to ask Rob Whitfield
some questions.
Get a team to his house.
FBI!
♪
Clear.
Okay, so if Hank Tamburello
lived across the hall
from Rob Whitfield
- [KNOCKING ON WALL]
- Thin walls.
So did he hear or see
something suspicious,
Rob got nervous and had him killed?
I don't know. Come look at this.
Rob was following all of the arrests
and pretrial motions of
the Greenwich 41 prosecution.
Look, here's his brother, Chris.
[SIGHS] So did Rob figure out
what we knew all along
Duke Ducoyle was running
the Calvin account?
Maybe he thought that
if he took over the account,
he could use it to his advantage,
and help free his brother.
Check this out.
The way he was saying
the U.S. attorney that are
leading the prosecution
against the Greenwich 41
if something happens to them,
that's a mistrial.
Deep-state puppets.
- Jubal?
- Yeah, Maggie?
Hey, you need to call the courthouse.
Warn the U.S. attorneys
they're the next targets.
ALL: See justice done! Release the 41!
See justice done! Release the 41!
They could just be protesters.
Or Rob Whitfield could have
used the Calvin account
to turn one of them into an assassin.
Or he's here hiding in the crowd.
ALL: Release the 41!
[CHANTING CONTINUES]
Jubal, don't let
the prosecution team exit
through the front entrance.
Take them to the side door.
We'll meet them there.
LET'S GO. ALL: See justice done!
Okay, give me a status
on the courthouse.
I'm on with the U.S. Marshals.
The attorneys are aware of the threat.
They were about to exit
through the front door
but saw the crowd gathering.
Yeah, let's have them exit
the east-side door.
They'll wait for our signal.
Maggie and OA will be waiting outside.
- Copy.
- NYPD,
you're circulating
Rob Whitfield's photo, right?
Good, okay.
How we doing
with the courthouse cameras?
Looking for anyone we can ID,
someone with a weapon.

Okay, Jubal, area's clear.
Send 'em out now.
Okay, stand by. Here they come.

I repeat not Rob Whitfield.
We need to round up the protesters.
He still might be out here.
Okay, what do we know about
our shooter at the courthouse?
His name is Theo Haynes.
Calvin reached out to him
through the birdwatching app.
This is their exchange.
Calvin all but ordered him
to assassinate the prosecutors
to disrupt the trial.
It turns out Theo Haynes's wife
is one of the Greenwich 41,
so he was personally motivated.
And now his wife's a widow.
What do we know about
the other protesters?
NYPD rounded them up, but
Rob Whitfield wasn't on site.
He's still in the wind.
Which means he still has the power
to mobilize more Calvinites
to do his dirty work.
He just posted a new Calvin message.
- Let's take a look.
- Okay, eyes up, folks.
"A hundred strong assemble.
Themis has failed
so jugheads must fall."
Okay, so we stopped Rob's plan
to disrupt his brother's trial.
He's obviously pivoting to
plan B, so what does this mean?
It's deeply coded in Calvinite language.
I'll get Cybercrimes up here
to take a look.
[SIGHS] No.
It's gonna take too long.
What am I, your cleanup crew now?
Well, when you're in the streets
and you need backup, you call SWAT.
Up here, you call
the assistant director.
I also answer to "Boss"
and in some circles "Rabbi."
Yeah, well, where we're going,
we'd be better off with a priest.
Let me get this straight.
You're prosecuting me for
interpreting Calvin's messages,
and now you're here
begging me to interpret
one of Calvin's messages?
You are being prosecuted
for inciting violence,
and you know that.
Still, the irony is delicious.
We are asking for your
cooperation one more time.
As your agents know,
I don't work for free.
Look, I understand your wife
is still having a tough time.
You can help us catch
the guy who hurt her.
Yeah, I'm less motivated
by that than I once was.
Then consider it a public service.
You tell us what the message means
and stop violence before it spreads.
Who is he?
I'm the assistant director
in charge of the New York field office.
Cool!
What's it going to take
to get you onside?
You think I want to make
a deal with a fake-news,
low-life short-timer? I don't.
But innocent lives are
at stake, are they not?
I want full immunity
from all federal prosecution
related to the Greenwich Monument riots.
We'll ensure the Attorney
General's Office makes that happen.
Peachy.
Should we shake on it or
Just tell us
what the damn message means.
[SIGHS] Calvinites speak to each other
in, uh, coded language,
memes, online gobbledygook.
But if you know, you know.
"A hundred strong assemble.
Themis has failed
so jugheads must fall."
It's a call to arms for soldiers
to liberate the Greenwich 41.
"Jug" is slang for prison.
"Themis" is the Greek goddess
of justice.
Justice failed.
So they're going to break in,
and they're going to free
their brothers and sisters
- before the trial.
- When?
You got to do some work yourself.
- When?
- I don't know.
It's not in here.
Could be tomorrow, could be tonight,

- He this one is live.
- What?
[DISTORTED VOICE] Hue and cry,
Calvin stands before you.
To my loyal warriors,
rattle the cages.
Be loud. Be known.
Make them fear us.
And to the FBI cabal who just
tried to capture me
and thwart our greater mission,
you listen to my words,
and you listen very closely.
Release the Greenwich 41
those righteous soldiers
who were unlawfully detained
outside the
Greenwich National Monument.
You release them from your
custody by 2:00 p.m. today.
Or
tomorrow your deep-state puppets
will die.
♪
The Greenwich riot was a disgrace.
41 of Calvin's most strident followers
showed up at his command.
NYPD were injured,
federal property destroyed.
Our own agents were attacked
and assaulted.
Now, make no mistake
we are not releasing the Greenwich 41.
But whoever gained control
of the Calvin account
has made their demands clear
release the 41, or two more
deep-state puppets will die.
Well, that is not going to happen,
because we're going to stop this.
Right now, the 41 are being held
at the Mullin Detention Center.
Their joint trial
is set to start this week.
Which explains the timing
and urgency of the threat.
So who is the new Calvin targeting?
Who are these two deep-state
puppets in his crosshairs?
Government employees, no doubt.
There are a dozen agencies
active on this case,
including our own people.
- Could be anyone.
- Right.
Our best lead is Duke Ducoyle's wife,
but she's elected not to answer
any questions.
I know how to make her talk.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Doctor Carter
[PA ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTINUE]
You again.
I'm here to see my wife.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
This isn't a free visit.
She's not giving us
the information that we need.
Yeah, Trishelle won't talk
to you unless I'm there.
- We know.
- She saw her kidnapper.
We need to find out who that is.
Fine. Let's go.
Baby love, I was a wreck without you.
I didn't want them here
either, believe me.
Just answer their questions,
and they'll be gone.
Mrs. Ducoyle, again,
we are trying to identify your abductor.
Anything you remember
could help us out right now.
I don't recognize your authority.
Trish, it's okay.
Just tell them what you know.
And I don't recognize you.
Babe, enough.
No.
You used to care about
the deeper mission, Duke.
[SCOFFS]
You were the king.
And then you gave it all up.
You just walked away.
Trishelle, I'm being
prosecuted by the state.
I thought we were both devoted
to Calvin, to his cause.
I thought you would be excited
to know that he chose me
me, Duke to be a part
of something greater.
He cut off your finger.
I gave it to him!
Calvin needed a sacrifice, he said,
to free the 41.
And I was more than happy to help.
What are you talking about?
This is war, Duke!
You used to know that! [SCOFFS]
Calvin told me you'd gone soft,
that you'd lost the will to fight.
I didn't want to believe him.
I am Calvin, Trish!
I am! I invented him!
This other guy
is nothing but an impostor.
Calvin told me you'd say that.
Just tell us about your kidnapper.
Or what?
I pity you, Duke.
You're asleep,
and you don't even know it.
Calvin is ready for war.
He was even willing to punish
the deep-state detractor
who was living in his midst.
What are you willing
to sacrifice for our cause?
[GROANS]
What happened to you?
All right.
So we are down the rabbit hole
on this one, folks.
Trishelle Ducoyle believes
the man who kidnapped her
was the real Calvin.
Be that as it may, she did say
something that might help
that Calvin punished
a deep-state detractor
living in his midst.
The message Calvin sent from
his account to Sandra Longo
referred to Agent Tamburello
as a deep-state detractor.
Right, but the the "living
in his midst," the new part
so is Tamburello someone
our guy works with,
someone he sees every day?
Maybe he's someone
from the neighborhood.
Hey, uh, check this out.
So here are the residents
of Hank Tamburello's building.
Now, if we cross-reference them
with the families
connected to the Greenwich 41,
we might find a nexus.
Aha, here we go.
Rob Whitfield.
- Would you believe it?
- What? This is a neighbor?
They live across the hall
from each other.
Really? Okay.
And he's 6'3". He's got a beard.
He matches the description
of the guy OA ran into.
What do we know about him?
Rob Whitfield is a software engineer.
No priors.
He's posted some
conspiratorial nonsense online,
but other than that, no red flags.
Right, but he's got
a connection to the 41, right?
- What is it?
- His brother was one of them.
Chris Whitfield was arrested
that day at the monument.
He attacked a police officer
with a pipe.
And Tamburello lives
10 feet from this guy?
That's right.
If you're so inclined,
that sounds a hell of a lot
like a deep-state detractor
living in his midst.
It's a hell of a way
to deal with a neighbor.
We need to ask Rob Whitfield
some questions.
Get a team to his house.
FBI!
♪
Clear.
Okay, so if Hank Tamburello
lived across the hall
from Rob Whitfield
- [KNOCKING ON WALL]
- Thin walls.
So did he hear or see
something suspicious,
Rob got nervous and had him killed?
I don't know. Come look at this.
Rob was following all of the arrests
and pretrial motions of
the Greenwich 41 prosecution.
Look, here's his brother, Chris.
[SIGHS] So did Rob figure out
what we knew all along
Duke Ducoyle was running
the Calvin account?
Maybe he thought that
if he took over the account,
he could use it to his advantage,
and help free his brother.
Check this out.
The way he was saying
the U.S. attorney that are
leading the prosecution
against the Greenwich 41
if something happens to them,
that's a mistrial.
Deep-state puppets.
- Jubal?
- Yeah, Maggie?
Hey, you need to call the courthouse.
Warn the U.S. attorneys
they're the next targets.
ALL: See justice done! Release the 41!
See justice done! Release the 41!
They could just be protesters.
Or Rob Whitfield could have
used the Calvin account
to turn one of them into an assassin.
Or he's here hiding in the crowd.
ALL: Release the 41!
[CHANTING CONTINUES]
Jubal, don't let
the prosecution team exit
through the front entrance.
Take them to the side door.
We'll meet them there.
LET'S GO. ALL: See justice done!
Okay, give me a status
on the courthouse.
I'm on with the U.S. Marshals.
The attorneys are aware of the threat.
They were about to exit
through the front door
but saw the crowd gathering.
Yeah, let's have them exit
the east-side door.
They'll wait for our signal.
Maggie and OA will be waiting outside.
- Copy.
- NYPD,
you're circulating
Rob Whitfield's photo, right?
Good, okay.
How we doing
with the courthouse cameras?
Looking for anyone we can ID,
someone with a weapon.
♪
Okay, Jubal, area's clear.
Send 'em out now.
Okay, stand by. Here they come.
[DOOR CLICKS]
U.S. Attorney Harrington, with me.
Hurry up, you guys. Go.
- Stay close.
- Quickly.
- Gun!
- [PEOPLE SCREAM]
- Down! Get down!
- [GRUNTS]
- Go! Go, go, go!
- Stay down. Take cover.
Down! Get down!
Marshal down. Send medical.
Is it him?
No.
Jubal, suspect is down,
but it's not Rob Whitfield.
I repeat not Rob Whitfield.
We need to round up the protesters.
He still might be out here.
Okay, what do we know about
our shooter at the courthouse?
His name is Theo Haynes.
Calvin reached out to him
through the birdwatching app.
This is their exchange.
Calvin all but ordered him
to assassinate the prosecutors
to disrupt the trial.
It turns out Theo Haynes's wife
is one of the Greenwich 41,
so he was personally motivated.
And now his wife's a widow.
What do we know about
the other protesters?
NYPD rounded them up, but
Rob Whitfield wasn't on site.
He's still in the wind.
Which means he still has the power
to mobilize more Calvinites
to do his dirty work.
He just posted a new Calvin message.
- Let's take a look.
- Okay, eyes up, folks.
"A hundred strong assemble.
Themis has failed
so jugheads must fall."
Okay, so we stopped Rob's plan
to disrupt his brother's trial.
He's obviously pivoting to
plan B, so what does this mean?
It's deeply coded in Calvinite language.
I'll get Cybercrimes up here
to take a look.
[SIGHS] No.
It's gonna take too long.
What am I, your cleanup crew now?
Well, when you're in the streets
and you need backup, you call SWAT.
Up here, you call
the assistant director.
I also answer to "Boss"
and in some circles "Rabbi."
Yeah, well, where we're going,
we'd be better off with a priest.
Let me get this straight.
You're prosecuting me for
interpreting Calvin's messages,
and now you're here
begging me to interpret
one of Calvin's messages?
You are being prosecuted
for inciting violence,
and you know that.
Still, the irony is delicious.
We are asking for your
cooperation one more time.
As your agents know,
I don't work for free.
Look, I understand your wife
is still having a tough time.
You can help us catch
the guy who hurt her.
Yeah, I'm less motivated
by that than I once was.
Then consider it a public service.
You tell us what the message means
and stop violence before it spreads.
Who is he?
I'm the assistant director
in charge of the New York field office.
Cool!
What's it going to take
to get you onside?
You think I want to make
a deal with a fake-news,
low-life short-timer? I don't.
But innocent lives are
at stake, are they not?
I want full immunity
from all federal prosecution
related to the Greenwich Monument riots.
We'll ensure the Attorney
General's Office makes that happen.
Peachy.
Should we shake on it or
Just tell us
what the damn message means.
[SIGHS] Calvinites speak to each other
in, uh, coded language,
memes, online gobbledygook.
But if you know, you know.
"A hundred strong assemble.
Themis has failed
so jugheads must fall."
It's a call to arms for soldiers
to liberate the Greenwich 41.
"Jug" is slang for prison.
"Themis" is the Greek goddess
of justice.
Justice failed.
So they're going to break in,
and they're going to free
their brothers and sisters
- before the trial.
- When?
You got to do some work yourself.
- When?
- I don't know.
It's not in here.
Could be tomorrow, could be tonight,
could be right now, for all I know.
But whoever shows up,
according to this
they're going to be looking
for a righteous donnybrook.

This doesn't make any sense.
Nobody's ever broken into
a federal detention center.
- This plan isn't gonna work.
- Right, right.
So so why would Rob send his
Calvin followers to try it?
It's got to be something else.
We're missing something.
Private ambulance just
gained entry into the facility
through gate three.
A detainee was just rushed
into med bay
multiple stab wounds.
And here's the kicker it's
Rob Whitfield's brother, Chris.
Well, we we do not believe
in coincidences in this office.
Get back! Move! Move!
[YELLS]
Hey!
[GRUNTS]
Got the details.
Chris Whitfield was stabbed
ten minutes ago.
When the warden flipped the
block, they found his burner.
Look at his last message.
"Get to the med bay, brother.
I'll be waiting."
I want eyes on that med bay, now!
Get back!
Piggybacking their security feed now.
- Here we go.
- Okay.
Okay, the man on the gurney
is Chris Whitfield.
- Looks badly injured.
- Wait, wait, wait, stop it.
- Is that
- Yeah, that is not an EMT.
That's Rob Whitfield.
Maggie, OA, Rob Whitfield
is not with the protesters.
He's driving an ambulance
parked in the med bay.
Riot was just a diversion.
He's trying to sneak his brother out.

I convinced him.
When things went bad, I ran.
I got away, but
he got caught, and now
[SIGHS] I really thought
I could save him, you know?
I really did.
So you figured out Calvin wasn't real.
It was just Duke spreading
his lies to make a buck.
But instead of exposing him,
you chose to become the lie.
If I didn't, somebody else would have.
That's hardly a defense.
Look, I did what I had to do
to try to save my brother.

going back five months

right after the Greenwich riot.
Okay, so this is when Duke

So they're sent from him?
Are those
Direct messages to individual
followers with specific orders.
Looks like Duke's back on the hook.
You bounced back quick.

Full immunity. You can't touch me.
