Understood, sir.
As soon as I know more, so will you.
That was the director.
This morning, a gunman broke
into Senator Hirsch's home
in Larchmont, leaving three dead.
The senator?
She survived, along with her daughter,
but her husband, David, wasn't as lucky,
along with two of her security detail.
Right, so it's like
Minnesota all over again.
Do we have motive?
Not officially, but if you said it was
politically motivated, I'd buy it.
Senator Hirsch was supposed to be
on a flight this morning to D.C. to vote
on a military budget amendment.
And of course, that bill has both sides
of the aisle up in arms.
I've been following that
the Veteran Care Initiative.
You'd think supporting
the troops would be an issue
that crosses the aisle.
Except defense contractors lose
when funds get reallocated.
And then maybe the
politicians they support
watch their contributions disappear.
Right. Hornet's nest. Got it.
So have any other
senators been targeted?
No, not so far.
But Hirsch was the swing vote here.
So we are thinking someone tried
to kill the senator to swing
the vote in their favor?
That is our working theory, yeah,
but the director wants answers,
not theories, and fast.
He wants somebody's head today.
Then we'll get one. I'll get
the team to the senator's house.
Yeah. I just need to get by and
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
FBI.
Excuse us, everybody. Step aside.
Come on, guys. Thank you.
Excuse me.
It's starting to feel like every day,
somebody's throwing
a new log on the bonfire.
Well, a senator attacked
the morning of a big vote,
somebody is wanting to burn it all down.
Time to find out who.
Chief Mulroney, welcome to Larchmont.
So what do we know so far?
You people ain't
dealing with an amateur.
Based on the surveillance I saw,
shooter was in and out
in less than two minutes.
5.56 NATO cartridges over here.
Most likely an
intermediate-range carbine.
Two, three
Our entrance wound is at heart level,
but the exit wound is below the ribs,
meaning our guy had to have taken a shot
from a higher vantage point.
Mm-hmm.
Like I said, he ain't an amateur.
Sniper's nest definitely
narrows down his placement.
The victim was shot head-on.
It means he was facing his shooter,
and the angle of the body suggests
that the shot would have had
to come from this direction
somewhere in there.
I saw a blinking light.
It was in the tree in the backyard.
It was weird.
Your men were well-trained,
so something or someone
must have lured them out.
That's probably what Kelly
saw a mirror maybe,
something to reflect the sunlight.
Kelly, can you tell
us what happened next?
Our alarm went off.
I screamed for my mom and dad,
but they couldn't hear me.
So I hid.
I looked everywhere.
By the time David found her,
it was just too late.
You did everything
that you could, Senator.
There was too many risks coming at you.
You served?
David was a West Point man.
Fourth generation.
So was I. 75th Ranger Regiment.
We never crossed paths, but
I'm sure he was a great man.
The greatest.
Marina, can you?
David tried to protect us.
He even got an army buddy
to come and consult
on our security system.
We had to do something.
I thought it was a bit much,
but I guess I was wrong.
What do you mean by that?
Every person I help, there's
another out there that's
convinced I'm doing them harm.
And they let me know it.
Online threats?
For starters.
But also, we've been doxxed.
I've had people show up on the property.
Who's been targeting you?
Second Amendment purists,
environmentalists, you name it.
OK. On that subject, we know that you're
supposed to be in D.C. today.
Yeah, well, if you're
asking if today's vote
is the reason we were targeted, sure.
Add it to the list.
I guess it shouldn't surprise me
that even veteran care is
a controversial subject
these days.
Part of me hates the fact
that David risked his life
for anyone who'd disagree.
But the other part of me
knows that if he had to,
he'd do it again.
Well, you have our word.
We will do everything we
can to catch David's killer
and bring him to justice.

Serial number is scratched off.

- It's still loaded.
- Mm.
Well, if there were prints
or DNA on the murder weapon,
soil degraded them.
And the killer filed off
the serial number clean.
OK, so so we can't get an ID?
I didn't say that.
He only filed off the visible numbers.
But little-known fact,
the stamp always leaves an
impression on the metal underneath.

Look alive, people.
So the serial number on the gun
recovered at our crime scene
is registered to a Peter Tedesco.
That's him? OK.
What do we know about him?
43 years old, white, 5'11".
Multiple ex-girlfriends accused
him of domestic violence
over a decade ago.
Prosecutors got one of
those charges to stick.
OK, it's a felony, sure, but doesn't
necessarily scream political
assassination, right?
But he definitely has
the skills to pull off one.
According to his socials, Tedesco
competes in long-range
sharpshooting competitions.
Gold medal from 1,200 yards,
1,200 yards?
OK, is he a height match to our perp?
Comping Hirsch's security footage.
Algo confirms 98.8% match.
OK, getting warmer.
What else, though?
We need this to be watertight.
Well, records show that Tedesco
tried to enlist in the army but was
denied due to his DV charge.
And based on his W-2s,
he hasn't been able to find
steady work, either.
Yeah, I'm checking his financials.
I mean, it looks like he's living
off the prize money from these
sharpshooting competitions.
OK, so he's rejected by the army.
He's bouncing around.
He's mad at the world.
Somebody draw me a line between
that dot and our senator.
OK, last night, he posted on
his socials about today's vote.
The senator is championing
a budget amendment
that guarantees veterans
housing and healthcare.
So that's, like, everything
Tedesco struggled
to maintain since the felony.
OK, so he took her work personally?
Oh, definitely.
On his last post, he wrote,
"That bitch Hirsch deserves
everything coming to her."
OK, I asked for watertight.
That is damn close.
Do we have a beat on his whereabouts?
Yeah, his phone is pinging
at his listed address.
All right, get our agents

Augh!
This is what we call
open and shut, Peter.
Take a look.
These are all of your online
threats to Senator Hirsch
the night before she was
attacked on three different forums.
We have the M4 that was found
outside her house in the woods.
Ballistics confirmed it
was the murder weapon.
And for the trivia fans,
it was registered in your name.
And lastly, we have a surveillance photo
of you leaving her property
this morning.
Forensics confirmed
same height, same build.
You know where I'm
going with this, right?
Except that's not me.
Shooting at federal officers
doesn't really help
your case, either, Peter.
So I don't know why you're being so coy.
Trying to kill the senator is the only
real thing you have ever done.
Excuse me?
A wannabe soldier.
But the army didn't want you
because you beat up on women.
So you play pretend,
collect your little guns, have your
shooting games on the weekends.
But deep down you know
that will never matter.
Senator Hirsch wanted
to give real soldiers,
people that sacrifice for this
country, what they deserve.
That's some fancy theory.
It's motive.
Sure.
I wanted that bitch dead.
I'll give you that.
And that's all I'll give you.
Because that's not me.
That's Molon Labe 227.
Molon labe.
Greek for "come and take them."
Every gun nut's favorite
rallying cry these days.
I don't know that guy's real name,
but that's the handle he uses.
He messaged me on 8Chan,
said Hirsch was an existential threat,
needed to be dealt with.
I agreed.
We were supposed to meet up
at a bar late last night.
Let me guess.
He didn't show?
I waited an hour.
Decided to call it after two beers.
Then it gets fuzzy.
Mm. Of course it does.
I'm serious.
I was drugged.
Had to be.
One minute, I'm leaving the bar.
Next thing I know,
I'm waking up to find my place
tossed and my M4 missing.
Then I turn on the news.
I see the senator's
place had been attacked.
And that's when you guys showed up.
And you want us to believe
that you were framed?
Check the signal account on my burner.
It's all there.
And for the record, if it was me,
I would have gotten the job done.
That's awfully convenient.
We're not buying what this
wacko is selling, right?
JOC just confirmed that there
are messages between Tedesco
and his profile that he's
talking about, but so far,
no luck tracking it.
All right, then let's humor Tedesco.
Let's get his consent
to run a tox screen.
Close the loop.
And if the loop doesn't stay closed?
Well, then we've got a bigger problem.
If Tedesco was being framed,
that means the senator
is still in danger.

I need to steal him.
Senator Hirsch?
I am SAC Isobel Castille.

Agents Bell and Zidan.
We didn't expect you
to go back to work so soon.
Well, the man who attacked
me wants to silence me.
I need to show him he can't.
While I admire your bravery,
I need you to stop for your own sake.
Charlotte, you should listen to them.
I'm sure you know Ron Widener.
Behind every great politician
is a great big wallet.
I prefer the term "cheerleader."
Of course, Mr. Widener.
We tried to tell her.
Just take a beat, huh?
The senate will understand if you have
to delay the vote by a day.
Actually, I don't think they will.
If I sit this one out,
they might very well proceed.
And without my vote,
the amendment will fail.
And all your support will go to waste.
Apologies.
We're short on time.
My flight's about to leave.
Is there something I can help you with?
Yes, and it will only take a moment.
Senator, we believe that
the killer is still at large.
Well, what happened? I thought
he was in custody, dead to rights.
Well, apparently, our initial suspect
may have been incapacitated
at the time your family was
being attacked.
And we fear the real killer
will try and finish the job.
It's best that you stay
put in our custody.
Cain.
Ma'am?
Officer Cain, USCP.
Capitol Police has
been assigned to escort
Senator Hirsch to the vote.
We'll make sure she gets
there and back safely.
See? I-I'm safe.
With all due respect, Senator,
until your husband's killer is caught,
you should stay here in New York.
Best for whom?
You want me to stay in this house
where my husband was murdered,
look my daughter in the face
and say the bad guys won,
and I've been intimidated into silence,
that her dad died for nothing?
We understand your position, Senator,
so please understand ours.
If you insist on going,
Agents Bell and Zidan
will be escorting you to D.C.
Now until we catch this guy,

No problem with that.
See you on the ground, Senator.
♪
So the senator's flight
to D.C. is in the air.
That gives us 90 minutes.
Let's make it count.
Have we figured out where our patsy,
Peter Tedesco, was roofied?
Toxicology report just came in.
Neurotoxin was a less severe form of VX.
Based on its half-life, the amount left
in Tedesco's system
suggests he was dosed
around 4:00 a.m. this morning.
Says the effects would be
almost instant, seconds.
OK, well, I pulled Tedesco's
credit card transactions.
He closed out a tab at a bar in Corona
called Mark O'Brien's at 3:57.
OK, Ian.
Cueing it up.
Yeah, that's Tedesco, right?
OK, so he's leaving the bar at
3:59, not a hair out of place,
which means it should
be less than a minute
before we meet our killer.
What just happened there?
Scrubbing back to find out.
So what, he got drugged
inside the bar, I guess.
If he was, there's no way to tell.
The bar only has
cameras on the exterior.
And you said the neurotoxin's
effects were instant?
They are.
Guys, this was a brush pass, SVR-style.
Look, baseball cap bumps our guy.
Scrubbing forward.
And look, he circles back.
He scoops up Tedesco.
It's not enough for
facial rec, unfortunately.
All right, well, that
explains how Tedesco got home.
Now we know where baseball cap
is heading next with our patsy.
Do we have eyes on the car
he used to get there?
No, if he's moving, it's in blind spots.
Right, OK.
You know what? Let's contact the bar,
see if anyone can help our
sketch artist come up
with an image of our mystery man.
Meantime, this guy is not
making our job any easier.
So let's return the favor.
Coordinate with our field office in D.C.
to get extra coverage on the
ground for our senator
in case he tries again.
Jubal, I got something.
Only music my ears want to hear.
Is it a happy song or a sad one?
Scary one.
Turns out that neurotoxin
used on our patsy,
it's an exact match for cases
in Norway, Brussels, and Cairo.
Every single one linked to an
unknown suspect associated with
several high-profile murders
royals, government leaders.
All are still open investigations.
You're telling me we have an
international assassin on our hands?
Per Interpol, one of the best.
He's wanted in over a dozen countries.
MI5 dubs him as Oslo.
It's for the elevator
massacre that happened
in Norway seven years ago.
Right, the prime minister and
his cabinet board an elevator
with no stops, and by the time
they reach the ground floor,
they're all dead.
Based on the ballistics, Oslo
was thought to have stowed away
in the building's elevator shaft
and shot them through the hatch.
If the guy's got an MO, it's slipping
into places he doesn't belong
and killing without a trace.
This guy's a question mark with a gun.
Let's pray we can put a face to him.
Get everything to Maggie in OA.

Based on Oslo's résumé,
whoever hired him to kill
Senator Hirsch had to
have made it worthwhile.
He doesn't do anything

We should expect company in D.C.

Maggie, Neil here.
Did you or OA physically
touch the senator?
- No.
- Good.
Please refrain from any further
physical contact with the body
until we can get hazmat
to clear the area.
Judging from the
symptoms and the residue
around the corners of her mouth,
it's likely that Senator Hirsch
was exposed to a neurotoxin
similar to Novichok.
How?
That's the million-dollar question.
Neurotoxins, they can be administered
through injection, ingestion,
or even simple touch.
And it can happen this fast?
Oh, yeah.
Exposure can be anywhere from
30 seconds to 30 minutes ago.
Each individual reacts differently.

Attention all passengers,
please be advised
that the restroom at the rear
of the aircraft
Put these on.
Mosbach said that neurotoxin could
be passed through physical touch.
That's right.
So that means that our suspect
had to come in close contact
with the senator while on this flight.
Exactly.
But between the three of us,
we can create a timeline
of every single person who came
in contact with the senator
in the last 30 minutes.
One of them is our killer.
All right, FAA, get word of the captain.
We are landing that plane
at the Eastern Air Force Base, yeah?
All right, so Maggie, OA,
and Officer Cain sent over
seat numbers of the passengers
who were in close contact
with the senator.
I want IDs on all of them right now.
Yeah, we got the plane's
manifest with the identities
of everyone on board.
According to Maggie and OA,
the senator was in close
proximity to Derek Radler
in 18C, Carl Amerson in 17D,
and Brian Wheeler in 13C,
who offered his condolences at
boarding and shook her hand.
Two other passengers
chatted with Hirsch,
offering their support.
Patrick Hull in 22C, Gabe Linton in 25B.
Both from Manhattan.
And lastly, Marcus Friedman,
the flight attendant,
handed her a water 20 minutes
before she went into the restroom.
OK, so one of these guys
has got to be Oslo, right?
So do any of them fit the profile?
I think it's safe to say
we can eliminate Hull in 22C.
6'5".
Too tall to be a height match for Oslo.
Good.
And and Carl Amerson
in 17D, he's registered
as a wheelchair passenger.
OK, so two down, four to go.
Tell me something else.
OA says Derek Radler in 18C
behaved aggressively before
takeoff, but surveillance
at JFK places him
at the airport all morning.
He alibis out for the murders
at the senator's house.
Down to three.
25B, Gabe Linton, is an Uber driver.
He was on shift driving
a passenger to Philadelphia
at the time of the shooting.
OK, and then there were two
Brian Wheeler, Marcus Friedman.
Marcus Friedman was in the
air at the time of the break-in.
What do we know about Brian Wheeler?
He shook hands with the senator, right?
Got no clear alibi.
He's a height match for our killer.
And he's a pharmaceutical chemist.
So he would know his
way around a neurotoxin.
If anyone does on that plane's manifest,
my money's on him.
Yeah.
He could have used the
senator's grief to get close.
Close enough to kill her
without anyone knowing.

The AUSA wants to proffer
Oslo for what he knows.
What?
He murdered a sitting U.S. senator.
And all eyes have been on us ever since.
The AG wants to know
who ordered the hit,
and not just the hit on Hirsch,
all hits for the past ten years.
But we don't need to make a
deal to get that information.
We've ID'd him.
We can solve these cases ourselves.
Maggie, we looked
into the assassinations
that Interpol believes he did.
His fingerprints and facial rec
ping back to a number of IDs,
including the one responsible
for booking the D.C. flight.
Well, one of those will
trace back to the payment.
Yes, and that paper trail
leads to a chain of shell companies
designed to run us in circles.
We'll figure out who
benefits from Hirsch's death.
The JOC is making a list.
But without Oslo's cooperation,
that is all we have,
just a list, best guesses.
This guy is holding
geopolitical secrets, Maggie.
We need his confession.
OK. And he almost killed my partner.

Oslo is in the wind.

This is Ron Widener.
I met him this morning
at the senator's house.
NYPD just informed me that he is dead.
Same neurotoxin as the senator.
Ron Widener is the billionaire that
was Senator Hirsch's biggest donor.
But why? Without the senator,
the bill is not gonna pass.
Except Widener had serious money tied
up in defense contractors.
He stood to lose a ton
of government funding
if the Veteran Care Initiative passed.
OK, so publicly,
he supports Senator Hirsch.
All while secretly
plotting her murder so he can
swing the vote in his favor.
But then we catch his man, Oslo.

Senator Hirsch really understood

She stuck her neck out for us.
She did.
She was a brave woman.

Right, so it's like
Minnesota all over again.
Do we have motive?
Not officially, but if you said it was

Senator Hirsch was supposed to be

on a military budget amendment.

Chief Mulroney, welcome to Larchmont.
So what do we know so far?
You people ain't
dealing with an amateur.
Based on the surveillance I saw,
shooter was in and out
in less than two minutes.
5.56 NATO cartridges over here.
Most likely an
intermediate-range carbine.
Two, three
Our entrance wound is at heart level,
but the exit wound is below the ribs,
meaning our guy had to have taken a shot
from a higher vantage point.
Mm-hmm.
Like I said, he ain't an amateur.
Sniper's nest definitely
narrows down his placement.
The victim was shot head-on.
It means he was facing his shooter,
and the angle of the body suggests
that the shot would have had
to come from this direction
somewhere in there.
I saw a blinking light.
It was in the tree in the backyard.
It was weird.
Your men were well-trained,
so something or someone
must have lured them out.
That's probably what Kelly

David tried to protect us.
He even got an army buddy

Senator Hirsch wanted

almost instant, seconds.

has got to be Oslo, right?
So do any of them fit the profile?
I think it's safe to say
we can eliminate Hull in 22C.
6'5".
Too tall to be a height match for Oslo.
Good.
And and Carl Amerson
in 17D, he's registered
as a wheelchair passenger.
OK, so two down, four to go.
Tell me something else.
OA says Derek Radler in 18C
behaved aggressively before
takeoff, but surveillance
at JFK places him
at the airport all morning.
He alibis out for the murders
at the senator's house.
Down to three.
25B, Gabe Linton, is an Uber driver.
He was on shift driving
a passenger to Philadelphia
at the time of the shooting.
OK, and then there were two
Brian Wheeler, Marcus Friedman.
Marcus Friedman was in the
air at the time of the break-in.
What do we know about Brian Wheeler?
He shook hands with the senator, right?
Got no clear alibi.
He's a height match for our killer.
And he's a pharmaceutical chemist.
So he would know his
way around a neurotoxin.
If anyone does on that plane's manifest,
my money's on him.
Yeah.
He could have used the
senator's grief to get close.
Close enough to kill her
without anyone knowing.

One name of many.
Murdering a U.S. senator is not a joke.
It's the death penalty.
Your life ends today.
So you might as well start talking.
Death is a harsh penalty
after I've been so kind to you.
I gave you the antidote
to save your partner.
I deserve kindness.
Who hired you to kill Senator Hirsch?
I know the law, Agent Bell.
The 5K letter, which
recommends sentence reduction,
is dependent upon the amount
of assistance
the individual provides the U.S.
government.
Mm-hmm.
Trust me, my cooperation
will be invaluable.
First you talk, and then I'll decide
if it's worth making a deal.
You know the identity of my clients
is of great interest to people here
in Washington and the Hague.
No, my deal comes first.
You're not in a

I need to speak to a higher up,
one whose judgment isn't clouded,
one who will appreciate the
scope of what I'm offering.
Well, you got me.
And from where I'm sitting,
you're going down for this.
The AUSA wants to proffer
Oslo for what he knows.
What?
He murdered a sitting U.S. senator.
And all eyes have been on us ever since.
The AG wants to know
who ordered the hit,
and not just the hit on Hirsch,
all hits for the past ten years.
But we don't need to make a
deal to get that information.
We've ID'd him.
We can solve these cases ourselves.
Maggie, we looked
into the assassinations
that Interpol believes he did.
His fingerprints and facial rec
ping back to a number of IDs,
including the one responsible
for booking the D.C. flight.
Well, one of those will
trace back to the payment.
Yes, and that paper trail
leads to a chain of shell companies
designed to run us in circles.
We'll figure out who
benefits from Hirsch's death.
The JOC is making a list.
But without Oslo's cooperation,
that is all we have,
just a list, best guesses.
This guy is holding
geopolitical secrets, Maggie.
We need his confession.
OK. And he almost killed my partner.

Well, the AUSA has already
reached out to the magistrate.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Hey.
Oslo is in the wind.
I mean, it's a manhunt now, but
he could be headed anywhere.
Well, we know one place he went.
This is Ron Widener.
I met him this morning
at the senator's house.
NYPD just informed me that he is dead.
Same neurotoxin as the senator.
Ron Widener is the billionaire that
was Senator Hirsch's biggest donor.
But why? Without the senator,
the bill is not gonna pass.
Except Widener had serious money tied
up in defense contractors.
He stood to lose a ton
of government funding
if the Veteran Care Initiative passed.
OK, so publicly,
he supports Senator Hirsch.
All while secretly
plotting her murder so he can
swing the vote in his favor.
But then we catch his man, Oslo.
And he knew the guy was gonna confess.
Exactly. Widener knew that testimony
would bring it right back to him.
So he hired guys to take out
Oslo to save his own ass.
That's why Oslo killed him.
And now we have to catch
him all over again.
Hey, sorry. That took a minute.
I did manage to get us some ice cream,
which I thought we could use.
Yes, we could.
Senator Hirsch really understood
what veterans go through,
the sacrifices we make.
She stuck her neck out for us.
She did.
She was a brave woman.
Yeah, that died for nothing.
Without her, the amendment's
never gonna pass.
Where's the win in that?
- Hang on.
- The votes are in,
and, yes, it appears
the yeas have it.
We have a rare
unanimous vote here
- It passed.
- Wow.
I guess she inspired them
to do the right thing.
I can't believe they crossed the aisle.
They really honored her.
Do you want to tell me?
What?
Whatever it is you're
trying not to tell me.
It's Oslo.
He got away, didn't he?
He did.
I mean, the good news is,
now every intelligence agency
in the world has his photo.
Then it's our turn to honor her.
Next time he shows his face,
we'll be there.
