Daybreak
1
Dead man's hand. Aces and eights.
Unbelievable.
These card's must
owe you money, Mr. Meech.
Just lucky, I guess.
It's nearly midnight.
You should get some sleep.
Big day tomorrow.
Once more around. Calms my nerves.
Yeah, fine.
This is what they mean by sunk cost.
- [LAUGHS]
- [DOORBELL CHIMES]
Shift change?
Too early.
Secure the witness.
How are you, agent?
- Just me.
- [DOOR BUZZES]
AUSA Rothbart.
Everything OK?
I just need to go over a few
final details with my witness
before tomorrow.
Of course, sir.
He's back here.
We'll just be in the living room.
Mr. Meech.
What the hell is this?

Been a while since we've done
a graveyard shift.
What'd Gemma say
when you were sneaking out?
Uh, she didn't wake up.
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, OK,
you're a giant
big-ass feet clomping around.
It's midnight, Maggie.
Some people sleep.
Thanks for getting here so fast.
It's a nightmare.
Two of my best agents
on protective detail
plus the witness, Cordell Meech.
He's supposed to testify
in a grand jury in the morning.
Someone came here
to make sure he wouldn't talk.
Who knew about this location?
Just us and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
This was kept quiet.
Well, the only shell casings
I'm seeing are from our agents.
This guy cleaned up after himself.
Who called it in?
Agent Kenya Litman over there.
Dispatcher heard a guy on the line.
We assume the killer was still inside.
He didn't break in.
He didn't try to disable
the cameras either.
No. We haven't seen
or watched the footage yet.
It's all yours.
OK, so our witness was shot point-blank,
our agents were over here
aimed in that direction.
Whoever killed them
Our agents let them in.
All right, folks.
I know it's late,
but, uh, 41 minutes ago,
a federal whistleblower
named Cordell Meech
was murdered in FBI custody
along with two agents from
the Bureau's Security Division.
Cuts deep when we lose any of our own,
so let's step it up tonight for
Kenya Litman and Richard Brown.
All right, let's talk about Mr. Meech.
Cordell Meech was set to be
questioned before a grand jury
in less than eight hours.
He was an accountant
for WellReach Health,
an NGO that provides
free anti-malarial meds
for sub-Saharan Africa.
WellReach Health
recently lost their government funding,
right?
Yes, though it wasn't political.
An accusation was made
of a corporate loophole
being used to possibly
launder money, thus the probe.
Right. Well, we
we need to dig into that.
But we eyes-up on the safehouse
security cameras?
Yes, sir. Just got the feed.
Looks like we got a pizza
delivery guy at 9:02 p.m.
Doesn't enter. Just stands in the
doorway, hands them the pizza.
Right, OK.
11:48 p.m., this guy shows up.
[TENSE MUSIC]
OK, yeah.
That's a good enough angle
for facial rec.
Uh, no, that's AUSA Meyer Rothbart.
Well, it makes sense that he'd be there.
Rothbart's leading the grand jury.
Though it's pretty late
for a witness debrief.
- Yeah, this is weird.
- What?
The emergency call to
dispatch came in at 11:51 p.m.
AUSA Rothbart was still inside.
OK, we we definitely
did not find Rothbart's body
at the scene of the crime, right?
No, look. A minute later,
just strolls out the front door.
So Rothbart was still
inside the safe house
when the murders happened.
That would mean
We are not saying a New York AUSA
gunned down his own witness
and two of our agents
yet. We need to talk to Meyer Rothbart.
Where is he now?
It's almost 1:00 a.m.
Phone's pinging at his home address.
Send a team.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Did you ever see anything like
this when you were a prosecutor,
attorney just snaps,
kills his own witness?
Can't say that I have.
Let's hope there's another explanation.
Hello?
AUSA Meyer Rothbart, FBI.
♪
Hello?
Mr. Rothbart?
♪
Anybody home?
♪
Eva, you're gonna want to see this.
♪
Oh.
That's Rothbart, all right.
So what are we seeing here?
That an AUSA kills his star witness?
And rather than go down for it,
he decides to take his own life?
I don't know. I'm not so sure.
There's no powder burns.
Look at the bloodstains.
It's dark at the edge
like he's been here a while.
That's full rigor.
Yeah.
Jubal, we found Meyer Rothbart dead
from an apparent
self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Now, I'm no ME
this guy's definitely been here
for at least seven hours.
When did you say your witness
was killed again?
Yeah, 57 minutes ago.
There's no way Rothbart
could have been our shooter.
♪
All right. What the hell's going on?
Somebody help me out.
If AUSA Rothbart died seven hours ago,
then how the hell did he show up
in high-def resolution
at that safe house?
You know what? Run it back.
Here you go.
I mean, right?
It looks like Meyer Rothbart.
Did you run it through facial rec?
Just did.
- And?
- 63% match.
63, huh? That's not a home run.
Let's head down another road,
see where it takes us.
What if somebody killed Rothbart,
tried to make it look like suicide?
And then what,
assumed Rothbart's identity
so they could gain access
to a federal safe house
and silence a star witness?
It sounds insane, but it fits
the current fact pattern.
Hey, guys. Rothbart's car
just pinged on a traffic cam.
- OK.
- Three minutes ago. Look.
- All right. Can you zoom in?
- Yeah.
I mean, sure looks like him.
What is going on here?
Let's get a team on that car.

There it is.

Jubal, we found Rothbart's car.
No sign of him, though.
Wait. Is that him?

Burning the midnight oil?
Oh, so you heard the news.
What, that Oslo, a contract
killer wanted by Interpol
in six countries, including our own,
just washed up on our shores?
Well, we're on it.
Oh, that's what you said last time
when he murdered a U.S. senator
and a well-respected CEO.
He will not get away again.
That's why I'm here
at 1:30 in the morning,
to make sure that he doesn't.
All due respect, Anna, I am
running this investigation.
Oslo has murdered VIPs
all over the globe.
My people consider him
an invaluable asset.
He has state secrets that we
would love to get our hands on.
Anna, I don't pretend
to know what it is you want,
but this one is on my turf.
So you can either help or step aside.
All right, listen up.
Anna Vorpe will be coming
on board to lend a hand.
So what have we got?
So we know Oslo's been in disguise
all night as AUSA Rothbart.
We think he'll shed it
if he hasn't already.
But thankfully,
we know what he looks like now.
His face is in our system,
so the manhunt is on.
And NYPD has joined in,
so has U.S. Marshals.
And DHS is monitoring ports
and airstrips.
I brought NSA up to speed
there on signals intelligence.
Very good.
This hit on Cordell Meech
has something to do
with the grand jury hearing.
Someone hired Oslo
to silence their star witness,
so who's to say that Oslo's job is done?
Right, right, right.
So who are the other witnesses
that are expected
to testify in six hours?
One is Elliot Griffin,
the locations manager
for WellReach Health.
The second is Lynette Caddick,
the CFO for the company.
Yeah, but Meech was the whistleblower.
He was the only witness
in FBI protective custody.
Means these two are sitting ducks.
Well, wake them up.
Let them know our agents are
coming by to bring them to 26 Fed.

You scared the crap out of me.
It's 3:00 in the morning, man.
Look, Mr. Griffin,
we're sorry to alarm you,
but we're here because we believe that
there's a credible threat

Hey, Anna.
I just got off the phone with
the criminal division chief.
Man was in shock.
Rothbart had been with the
Eastern District for 16 years.
Mm. So are they gonna push
for a postponement?
Turns out no.
They don't want to delay the grand jury.
He's going to assign another
senior attorney to the case. And
Even after the last one was murdered?
We will not be intimidated into silence.
No, we will not.
Um, and what about the other witnesses?
Uh, yeah, they're en route.
OK.
Will you let me know when they get here?
Yeah.
Hell of a night.
Yeah. I'm, uh,
running on pure adrenaline.
What are you working on?
[SIGHS] Peeling back the onion.
Do you need a sounding board?
Sure.
We know Oslo is motivated by money,
but he's just a weapon put
in play for the right price.
The real question is who would
want to derail the grand jury?
You're asking who's the target.
Right.
Someone with the finances
to afford Oslo's services.
Exactly.
WellReach Health
gets a lot of its funding
from CSR programs
and philanthropic grants,
so maybe we look into the donor lists?
Or what if the mastermind
behind this attack
has been under our nose the whole time?
The CFO of WellReach Health?
Lynnette Caddick.
She just bought a vacation home
Upstate right on the water.
8 million.
For 8 million, I'd expect the Hamptons.
Misappropriation of government funds?
Well, it certainly tracks.

Ms. Caddick, I assure you.

Agent Zidan, back on your feet.
Amazing recovery from my Novichok.
You had to know that you
were gonna fail today, Oslo.
Is that right?
We have your face now,
your biometrics, your prints.
You are not just in our system,
but every law enforcement
agency in the country
is looking for you.
We know you make 20 million per hit.
This was a risky job,
breaking into the FBI field office.
Had to have been more.
So who has the resources
to get your attention?
What makes you think I'd know?
Uh, w-well, this this testimony
you're supposed to give
for WellReach in a few hours,
why why don't we start with that?
I was planning to invoke my
Fifth Amendment rights tomorrow.
I won't incriminate myself to the FBI.
Lynette, I am willing to offer you
a limited use immunity.
That means that whatever
you say in this interview
cannot be used against you.
And we are obviously all in a jam here,
so please, tell us who
would want to silence you
and the other witnesses.
I don't know their identity.
Hmm. How convenient.
Most clients demand anonymity,
but this client was beyond careful.
Real tradecraft.
Non-existent digital footprint.
The payment method was sophisticated.
Untraceable. Got it.
I believe they work
for the United States military.
A lobbyist emailed me 19 months ago,
said they were from
a hush-hush firm in the city.
They wouldn't tell me which one, but
they wanted me to start
a money laundering scheme
to move cash offshore.
And as an NGO, WellReach
would make the perfect vehicle.
I told him to take a hike.
I I had no interest
in committing financial fraud.
But then I
They told you what your cut would be?
15%.
And they needed to launder millions.
More money than I had ever seen.
So you took the payout,
you looked the other way.
I knew what I was doing
was wrong, but it was
it was it was just paperwork.
It was just spreadsheets, numbers.
It it wasn't hurting anyone.
But one day, I got curious
and started digging
and traced the money
to a front in Ramadi.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I-Iraq?
This isn't the first time
this client has employed my services.
All targets I've eliminated for them
seem to benefit U.S. interests.
And the language they use,
tactical jargon,
uniquely military.
What was the lobbyist's name?
We don't know. We never met in person.
We only communicated over secure email.
Tell us their name.
Tribune.
Tribune.
♪
At least that's what
they told me to call him.
It's a code name, I know,
but it's all I have.
Why are you telling us everything?
Tribune abducted my daughter,
Imogen.
That's the only reason I agreed
to return to this country.
She's here, and I won't
let her die because of me.
Now you want our help?
Agent Bell, the reason I let you live,
because I knew if I failed
in my mission tonight,
you would follow the breadcrumbs
and you would save my little girl.
We don't need to listen to this.
Wait.
My real name
is Daniel Pierce.
My work takes me all across the globe.
But Imogen is my only home.
She's all I have.
I can't let her die.
Did your daughter know what
you do for a living?
Have you ever kept something

just to protect them?
Find my daughter,

♪
Where are we with
verifying Oslo's story?
There is an Imogen Pierce
studying at NYU.
She's 21, a British national.
Just called her RA.
She hasn't been back
to her dorm in two days.
OK, so she's missing. Timeline tracks.
Oslo is fully cooperating.
He gave Maggie and OA the
password to his burner phone
and it turns out
there's a private text thread
between Oslo and Tribune.
Looks like after every murder,
Oslo would update Tribune by
sending a proof of death photo.
Well, that's Elliot Griffin
and our whistleblower.
And then there's this.
That's Imogen Pierce.
So Oslo is telling the truth.
Tribune is holding his daughter
as a bargaining chip.
- Can we trace Tribune's number?
- I already tried.
It's protected by the same
enhanced encryption our military uses.
Well, that's consistent
with Oslo's theory.
Whoever Tribune is,
we are unmasking them now.
So how do we flush them out?
Tribune's orders were clear.
Kill these witnesses or you'll
never see your daughter again.
But Oslo failed.
Lynette Caddick's still alive.
But no one outside of 26 Fed knows that.
To save this girl and identify Tribune,
we just have to make him
believe Oslo succeeded
in killing all three witnesses.
All right. Put out a BOLO.
Oslo escaped 26 Fed
after murdering three people,
including Lynette Caddick.
Now we just have
to kill Lynette Caddick.

Just us and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
This was kept quiet.

Agent Kenya Litman over there.

No. We haven't seen

aimed in that direction.
Whoever killed them
Our agents let them in.
All right, folks.
I know it's late,
but, uh, 41 minutes ago,
a federal whistleblower
named Cordell Meech
was murdered in FBI custody
along with two agents from
the Bureau's Security Division.
Cuts deep when we lose any of our own,
so let's step it up tonight for
Kenya Litman and Richard Brown.
All right, let's talk about Mr. Meech.
Cordell Meech was set to be
questioned before a grand jury
in less than eight hours.
He was an accountant
for WellReach Health,
an NGO that provides
free anti-malarial meds
for sub-Saharan Africa.
WellReach Health
recently lost their government funding,
right?
Yes, though it wasn't political.
An accusation was made
of a corporate loophole
being used to possibly
launder money, thus the probe.
Right. Well, we
we need to dig into that.
But we eyes-up on the safehouse

11:48 p.m., this guy shows up.
[TENSE MUSIC]
OK, yeah.
That's a good enough angle

Uh, no, that's AUSA Meyer Rothbart.
Well, it makes sense that he'd be there.
Rothbart's leading the grand jury.
Though it's pretty late
for a witness debrief.
- Yeah, this is weird.
- What?
The emergency call to
dispatch came in at 11:51 p.m.
AUSA Rothbart was still inside.
OK, we we definitely
did not find Rothbart's body
at the scene of the crime, right?
No, look. A minute later,
just strolls out the front door.
So Rothbart was still
inside the safe house
when the murders happened.
That would mean
We are not saying a New York AUSA
gunned down his own witness
and two of our agents

What makes you think I'd know?
Uh, w-well, this this testimony
you're supposed to give
for WellReach in a few hours,
why why don't we start with that?
I was planning to invoke my
Fifth Amendment rights tomorrow.
I won't incriminate myself to the FBI.
Lynette, I am willing to offer you
a limited use immunity.
That means that whatever
you say in this interview
cannot be used against you.
And we are obviously all in a jam here,
so please, tell us who
would want to silence you
and the other witnesses.
I don't know their identity.
Hmm. How convenient.
Most clients demand anonymity,
but this client was beyond careful.
Real tradecraft.
Non-existent digital footprint.
The payment method was sophisticated.
Untraceable. Got it.
I believe they work
for the United States military.
A lobbyist emailed me 19 months ago,
said they were from
a hush-hush firm in the city.
They wouldn't tell me which one, but
they wanted me to start
a money laundering scheme
to move cash offshore.
And as an NGO, WellReach
would make the perfect vehicle.
I told him to take a hike.
I I had no interest
in committing financial fraud.
But then I
They told you what your cut would be?
15%.
And they needed to launder millions.
More money than I had ever seen.
So you took the payout,
you looked the other way.
I knew what I was doing
was wrong, but it was
it was it was just paperwork.
It was just spreadsheets, numbers.
It it wasn't hurting anyone.
But one day, I got curious
and started digging
and traced the money
to a front in Ramadi.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I-Iraq?
This isn't the first time
this client has employed my services.
All targets I've eliminated for them
seem to benefit U.S. interests.
And the language they use,
tactical jargon,
uniquely military.
What was the lobbyist's name?
We don't know. We never met in person.
We only communicated over secure email.
Tell us their name.
Tribune.
Tribune.
♪
At least that's what
they told me to call him.
It's a code name, I know,
but it's all I have.
Why are you telling us everything?
Tribune abducted my daughter,
Imogen.
That's the only reason I agreed
to return to this country.
She's here, and I won't
let her die because of me.
Now you want our help?
Agent Bell, the reason I let you live,
because I knew if I failed
in my mission tonight,
you would follow the breadcrumbs
and you would save my little girl.
We don't need to listen to this.
Wait.
My real name
is Daniel Pierce.
My work takes me all across the globe.
But Imogen is my only home.
She's all I have.
I can't let her die.
Did your daughter know what
you do for a living?
Have you ever kept something
from somebody you love
just to protect them?
Find my daughter,
and you will find Tribune.

Where are we with
verifying Oslo's story?
There is an Imogen Pierce
studying at NYU.
She's 21, a British national.
Just called her RA.
She hasn't been back
to her dorm in two days.
OK, so she's missing. Timeline tracks.
Oslo is fully cooperating.
He gave Maggie and OA the
password to his burner phone
and it turns out
there's a private text thread
between Oslo and Tribune.
Looks like after every murder,
Oslo would update Tribune by
sending a proof of death photo.
Well, that's Elliot Griffin
and our whistleblower.
And then there's this.
That's Imogen Pierce.
So Oslo is telling the truth.
Tribune is holding his daughter
as a bargaining chip.
- Can we trace Tribune's number?
- I already tried.
It's protected by the same
enhanced encryption our military uses.
Well, that's consistent
with Oslo's theory.
Whoever Tribune is,
we are unmasking them now.
So how do we flush them out?
Tribune's orders were clear.
Kill these witnesses or you'll
never see your daughter again.
But Oslo failed.
Lynette Caddick's still alive.
But no one outside of 26 Fed knows that.
To save this girl and identify Tribune,
we just have to make him
believe Oslo succeeded
in killing all three witnesses.
All right. Put out a BOLO.
