Okay. We're really doing this.
You bet we are. You feeling good?
You've done this before, right?
Hey, stop that.
Don't act scared, okay?
- You're not scared.
- I'm not.
No, you're not. It's fine.
Vinnie's a total pushover.
We walk in, grab, and go.
Hey, breathe. Look at me.
Say it.
BOTH: Walk in, grab, and go.
It's easy.

Bro, this is gonna be so good for you.
Imagine you pulling up
to the party with a bag
of Special K instant hero.
Okay.

- Okay, yeah, showtime.
Hey, Vinnie, we're here.
Hey. Took you long enough.
- What the?

You think you can rip me off?

I'll show you tough.
And you'll wish

You're gonna learn!
[SOBBING]
[VOICE DISTORTED]
I have your son.
You're a snake,
Stan Gibney, vermin.
You use your money to condemn,
but guess what?
Money won't save your son
unless you save the man
you condemned.
Until then, I keep this ring
of his as a down payment.
Okay, so that's the message.
It was sent two hours ago
to Mr. Stan Gibney,
along with this photo.
It's a championship ring from 2010,
engraved for his son, Landon.
Never takes it off, I'm told.
Now, Landon's phone is here,
so no use tracking that.
But let's monitor online
chatter about Stan and his son,
see if something pops up.
And be ready to trace if they call back.
If?
If they call back?
We shouldn't be waiting.
You should be out on the
streets, searching for my son.
Sir, sir, sir, we are, I assure you.
The FBI is working with the
NYPD, chasing down every lead.
Now, do you know what the caller is
referring to, a man you condemned?
I I don't have the faintest idea.
I'm a builder, not a judge.
Okay.
Has anyone shown you or Landon
any aggression recently?
I own a New York sports team.
We lose a game,
I hear it from every angle
emails, social media.
Some of these fans are nuts.
Cam Roberts he has a gun now.
He missed a free throw.
Some lunatic gambler
comes at him after a game
and says Cam owes him money.
I had to build a private exit
just to keep my players safe.
Okay.
And this gambler was
apprehended by the NYPD?
All right, we'll look into that.
But let's talk about
your son for a moment.
I see that he has a couple
of drug-related
school suspensions.
My son isn't the criminal here.
- He's being held for ransom.
- I understand.
I'm not trying to offend.
I'm just trying to paint a picture.
If he is into something,
this could be about that.
And I'd really like to get an edge
for when the kidnappers call back.
Yeah, I know what you mean,
if they call back.
Well, Landon sure
liked to get a fit off.
You getting any ideas?
Maybe a little pop of color
there for your suits.
Funny, Scola.
How much longer is Maggie at the school?
BAU in-service lasts about a week, why?
- Are you getting sick of me?
- Never.
You guys find anything?
No, nothing yet.
So are we thinking maybe
this was an outside job,
or Landon knew the people that took him?
I pay a firm to scrub
Landon from the internet.
You'd have to dig deep
to find a recent photo of him.
With all due respect,
that doesn't really answer our question.
Well, we're not sure yet,
a lot of possibilities.
We do know Landon has a couple
of drug-related suspensions,
so it's possible some dealer found out
how deep his pockets really are.
Hmm. Okay. Well, we know that
he left last night without his phone,
so any teenager doing that
definitely doesn't wanna be tracked.
Hang on.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Well, well, well.
Let's get this to the lab.
Last night, 18-year-old
Landon Gibney was kidnapped.
We all know his father,
Stan Gibney, real estate mogul
and owner of the New York Jackals.
This morning,
he received a ransom message
demanding that he, and I quote,
"save a man he condemned."
Okay, well, Ian was not able
to strip the voice modulator
from the message,
so that's a no-go on any voice matching.
What about the kidnapper's ask?
Does Stan know who
the guy is talking about?
A man he condemned?
No, Stan is drawing a blank.
And it's not an angry ex-wife.
He's a widower.
And according to him, there is
no ex-employee waging a vendetta.
Jubal's gonna remain on site until
we can clarify the ransom demands.
But where are we with the drugs
found in Landon's bedroom?
Presumptive test of the pills
came back as ketamine.
All right, so a teen dabbles in drugs,
gets himself into trouble.
That wouldn't be a first.
Maybe a bit more than dabble.
I've been combing Landon's Instagram.
He has two profiles linked
to his phone number,
a main profile and a secret finsta
fake Instagram.
I have daughters now.
On his finsta, Landon was
DM'ing with a user profile,
@RocklTMan929, about buying
well, he used the rocket ship emoji.
Oh, rocket ship emoji.
The emoji commonly translates
to high quality party drugs
ketamine, MDMA.
Right. Did they set a time for the deal?
Last night, 9:00 p.m.
Wait, Landon met
a drug dealer the same night
he gets taken for ransom?
I don't like that coincidence.
Yeah, I ran the dealer's handle.
Phone number linked to RocklTMan
belongs to a Vinnie Toscano.
He lives in Ridgewood.
He's got multiple
charges of drugs, assault.
Kidnapping and ransom
would not be a leap.
Let's get a team down there now.
♪
- Hands! Show me your hands.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Up against the wall. Let's go.
What the hell, man? What is this?
Put your hands behind your back.
FBI. Landon Gibney?
Landon?
♪
Scola, the place is clear.
Come on.
What do we got?
Landon's not here, but
Plenty of contraband, though.
Landon Gibney?
- Not my name.
- Of course it isn't.
I know exactly who you are, Vinnie,
AKA RocklTMan929.
So are you gonna tell me
where this kid is or what?
Last night, you met with Landon Gibney,
and last night,
Landon doesn't come home.
This morning,
his dad gets a ransom call.
Wait, what?
A ransom?
Hold up. I don't know where this kid is.
I don't know about a ransom.
I'm the victim here.
We're talking last night?
- That kid robbed me.
- Oh, yeah?
Of what, exactly?
Certainly not the dope that
we found in your apartment.
That's gotta be, what,
possession with intent, no?
I'd say felony intent
to distribute, easy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm no kingpin, all right?
I sell a bit on the side
to loyal customers only.
But then these kids
come and take advantage
of my trusting disposition,
steal my stash,
and then they run off.
So I chased one down.
I get my property back,
and then I go home.
- Kids?
- As in more than one.
Landon wasn't alone?
What, do I have to do your job for you?
Why don't you check the building cams?
They're in masks.
How can you say either
of these kids is my son?
Oh, well, Landon arranged
to buy drugs at this location
at this exact time.
And it seems him and this
other kid instead decided
to rob the dealer and run.
Mr. Gibney, do you have any
idea who this other kid might be?
[PHONE RINGING]
It's the kidnapper.
Right this way.
All right, here we go, folks.
So, uh, just like the movies, right?
Keep them talking. Speak slowly.
Ask questions.
- Yep?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Starting the trace.
Okay, quiet, please.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[VOICE DISTORTED] Are you
ready to help me, Stan?
I want to speak to my son.
Are you ready to help me?
He's mobile, jumping cell towers.
If this is about me,
you don't need to hurt my son.
If you have a problem with me,
we can fix it.
Please, I just want to hear my son.
You will,
after you confess publicly
that you bought the conviction
of Eric Atwood.
Landon? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- You're okay, right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- You okay?
- What's happening?
Landon, I'm ASAC Jubal
Valentine with the FBI.
These people your father
was just on the phone with,
they claimed they were
holding you hostage.
- That's my ring.
- Yeah.
The kidnapper sent to us
after they took it from you.
Dad, can I talk to you
for a second in private?
Landon, if you have
information, we need it.
Well, I they didn't take
the ring from me 'cause I
I gave the ring to Ricky.
What's the last location
you have for the caller?
West Side highway. But they were flying.
Hard to pin where they would land.
I don't understand.
Ricky who? Landon, what are you saying?
A friend of mine from school.
The kidnappers have a hostage.
They just grabbed the wrong kid.
♪
Okay, so your friend, Ricky Celis,
you were dressed similarly.
Why was he wearing your ring?
He was nervous, so I gave it
to him for good luck.
- Who is this kid?
- He's a friend of mine.
You know Ricky. He goes to my school.
This is Ricky.
- May I?
- Yeah.
You need to contact his parents.
Copy.
No, his parents are in London.
That's why we planned this whole thing.
And did Ricky put you up
to this Nobel Prize plan?
Dad, this is my fault, okay?
Okay, to help Ricky,
we need to know what happened.
I told Ricky that we'd be
like heroes if we showed up
with, like, something special.
Ketamine, yeah.
Keta Landon, you can't do this to us.
Dad, this isn't about you, okay?
That lunatic on the phone
wanted to take you to get to me.
Mr. Gibney, we need to focus
on getting Ricky back, please.
So, Landon, you and Ricky
went to meet with Vinnie.
Yeah, Vinnie sells to everybody,
but I didn't have any cash.
And it's not like I could
just ask for it, you know?
So you robbed him.
Yeah.
We split up, and we were
supposed to meet back here,
but Vinnie was on me, and he beat me up,
and he took his stuff back.
And I didn't wanna come home
until you left for the game, so I
I went to Ricky's, but he wasn't there.
[PHONE RINGING]
Ah, okay. Ian?
It's the kidnapper.
Mr. Gibney, please.
I I don't wanna be involved.
Why can't you take it?
Because the kidnapper may not
have realized his mistake yet.
Once he does, Ricky's life
could be in jeopardy.
Dad, you have to answer.
Please.
Okay, the plan is the same.
Keep him talking.
- Tracing it.
- Quiet, please.
[TENSE MUSIC]
You hung up on me?
When I have your son?
Father of the year.
Who are you?
A concerned citizen
trying to correct
a miscarriage of justice.
Eric Atwood you put him
on death row eight years ago.
Who the hell are you?
Eric is innocent,
but you waved around your cash,
bought a murder conviction
to protect your investment.
Now you're gonna
admit it publicly.
Eric walks free, or your son
pays with his life.
Don't threaten me.
- You already screwed up by not
- Okay.
This is Jubal Valentine.
I'm the assistant
special agent in charge
of the FBI's New York field office.
You are speaking with me now.
All right.
Stan Gibney is gonna
have a press conference,
admit his wrongdoing,
admit he forced
a conviction of an innocent man,
or the boy dies.
- O
- [PHONE BEEPS]
Hello?
He's gone.
Who is Eric Atwood?
So, eight years ago,
Eric Atwood was convicted
of first-degree murder
outside of Philadelphia,
and he was sentenced to death.
He's currently at FCI
Grantsburgh awaiting execution.
So how does that tie to Stan Gibney?
The victim is Jenny Richards.
Her body was found on federal land
that Stan had been developing,
part of an opportunity zone.
He stood to lose millions
if the project was delayed,
so he put out aggressive ads.
He made a strong PR push
for a speedy conviction
and the death penalty.
Do you know the details?
Jenny Richards disappeared
after a shift at a diner.
Weeks later, her body was found.
She was stabbed to death.
The kidnapping is all about that case.
They were trying to use
Stan Gibney's son as leverage,
but things didn't go their way.
Okay, what was the outcome
of Eric Atwood's case?
How did it end?
What evidence was used against him?
Eric Atwood was Jenny's manager,
the last person to see her alive.
Philly PD found a folding knife
with Jenny's blood
in Eric's locker.
Eric is set to be executed tomorrow.
All right, Elise, get ahold
of the visitor's logs.
We need to know who was meeting him.
Give me one second.
I've got one name, Sean Lewis.
He made four recent visits
to Eric Atwood
up at FCI Grantsburgh.
Most recent one was three days ago.
Well, what's the connection?
Sean Lewis was a dishwasher
at the same restaurant
where Atwood worked.
He grew up in foster care.
He's a violent alcoholic,
multiple charges.
It looks like he got some help
from a Big Brother program.
Atwood was his Big Brother.
Sean Lewis calls him a hero.
All right, well, let's assume
that Sean Lewis believed
that Eric was about to be
wrongfully executed
and that Stan Gibney was to blame.
Do we know where Sean is?
No, but records show that
he rented a van last week.
Let's find that vehicle now.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
FBI! Drop your weapon and step out.
[GUNSHOTS]
- Got him?
- Scola.
- Ready?
- Mm-hmm.
Two, three.
Jubal, we found Ricky. He's alive.
All right, folks, Ricky Celis
has been safely recovered.
His aunt is on her way down
to pick him up now.
But Sean Lewis was not
in the van, which means
we have multiple kidnappers.
Have we ID'd the shooter yet?
The prints on the driver
matched to a Chase McVeigh.
He was a contractor
out of West Chester, PA,
had a stint in juvie before
a Big Brother program
helped him out of a bad spot.
Okay, so I'm guessing
his mentor was Eric Atwood.
Signal messages on McVeigh's phone
detail the plan to abduct Landon.
They were watching the building,
and after they saw
Ricky and Landon leave,
the plan was to grab Landon
when he headed back home.
And I've been running the other number
on that Signal chat.
I can confirm it's Sean Lewis.
Right, so Eric saved his mentees,
and now they're returning the favor.
All right, let's get Eva back to 26 Fed
and get her caught up
on the Eric Atwood case.
He could be orchestrating
all of this from death row.
Hey, Ricky.
How you doing? Special Agent Scola, FBI.
I know you've been through a lot, okay?
You mind if I ask you a few questions?
So, driver of the van, that's the guy
that kidnapped you last night?
One of them.
There are more? How many?
I'm not sure. Maybe three.
Okay, can you just run it back for me?
What exactly happened last night?
It was stupid.
We were trying to score for some party,
my friend Landon and I.
But the dealer had a gun, and we ran.
- Both of you?
- We split up.
Meet at Landon's house
that was the plan.
I got there first, but then I couldn't
remember the code on the door.
I was just waiting out there
when they came
and pulled me off the street.
I tried to fight, but I couldn't.
I just wanna go home.
Is there anything else you can
tell me about the other kidnappers?
They must have figured out
I wasn't Landon
when they were talking to Mr. Gibney
because they finally pulled off my gag.
When I told them who I was,
the lead dude got mad,
said that they were gonna
force Landon's dad
to do the right thing.
Force him?
That's all I heard.
Just sit tight for me.
I'll be right back.
OA, this crew isn't finished.
They're going for Stan Gibney,
and I think I have an idea where.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
How many people show on a given night?
19,220, give or take.
Season ticket holder since I was 12.
Okay, well, we got
a lot of ground to cover.
- These guys could be anywhere.
- Right.
What do you think? Divide and conquer?
I can check out the service entrance.
There's never enough security
at these pre-game load-ins.
Okay. I'll get the owner's box.
Of course you will.
Security says Stan Gibney
just left the owner's box.
I'm checking feeds now.
Yep.
Got him.
All right, there he goes.
OA, Scola, listen up.
Stan Gibney's already in the locker room
making his pre-game pep talk.
We have to assume Sean Lewis
is already on the way.

Sean Lewis is in the locker room.
Stan Gibney and his team
have been taken hostage.
- Hey, what do we got?
- Arena's almost clear.
Sean Lewis radio silence
since he went in.
We made five hostiles.
I can't be sure, but a trainer
estimates there's 15 hostages.
One member of Sean's crew was injured.
I clipped him on the way
to the locker room.
He may need medical, so we
could use that to negotiate.
Yeah, we should wait for
them to make the ask
so they don't smell a trap.
How are we doing with the video feeds?
No cams in the locker rooms,
but I got these plans
- from the arena manager.
- Let me see.
Looks like one way in and one way out,
according to these schematics.
Kelly is pulling
the city plans to be sure.
Okay, me and Scola will take a lap,
see if we can find any soft spots.
Yeah, all right.
We need to make contact.
And you haven't been able
to reach Sean on his cell.
No, but I was able to tap
into the arena's PA system.
That'll work.
Sean Lewis, this is
Jubal Valentine with the FBI.
We spoke earlier.

I'll trade you.
Eric walks, or Stan Gibney,

Look, I get where you're coming from.
I do. I looked into it.
But there was a trial.
Stan Gibney, he didn't sentence
Of course he did.
That girl was murdered on his land.
He needed it to go away fast.
Eric never got a fair shake.
You got 30 minutes to get him

AUSA Morgan, Special Agent Ramos.
I appreciate you coming down.
Well, I wasn't given much choice.
- It sounded urgent.
- It is.
Are those the Atwood appeal filings?
This is everything.
But what am I missing?
Why is the FBI digging
into Eric Atwood now?
Well, we are dealing
with an active situation.
People who believe he's
innocent have taken hostages.
Then they've been listening
to too many podcasts.
The Atwood case was open and shut.
Eric's appeals focus heavily
on witness credibility.
There's holes in their timeline.
You were under a lot of
pressure to get a conviction.
We always are.
That's the job.
Yes, but without this key witness,
the State couldn't place Eric
with the victim
at the location where
her body was found.
It didn't matter.
Detectives found a folding
knife in Eric's work locker,
had the girl's blood on it.
And the blade matched her wounds.
Agent Ramos,
Eric Atwood killed that girl.
And there's nothing in
that file that says otherwise.

to to make the wait easier,
some food, water

What's going on in there?
Don't play dumb.

out of control, isn't it?
Let me help you, please.
Just put the guns down

We'll get your brother the
medical assistance he needs.
No! No. That's not happening.
I didn't come all this way

You you bring us a doctor.
You want me to send someone
into a hostile situation?
It will be a lot more hostile

You bring us someone, now!
If I do, you're gonna have

You get one.
But I get to choose.

Sean was tough.
14 years old,
he was robbing liquor stores

I have your son.
You're a snake,
Stan Gibney, vermin.
You use your money to condemn,
but guess what?
Money won't save your son
unless you save the man
you condemned.
Until then, I keep this ring
of his as a down payment.
Okay, so that's the message.
It was sent two hours ago
to Mr. Stan Gibney,
along with this photo.
It's a championship ring from 2010,
engraved for his son, Landon.
Never takes it off, I'm told.
Now, Landon's phone is here,
so no use tracking that.
But let's monitor online
chatter about Stan and his son,
see if something pops up.
And be ready to trace if they call back.
If?
If they call back?
We shouldn't be waiting.
You should be out on the

Sir, sir, sir, we are, I assure you.
The FBI is working with the
NYPD, chasing down every lead.
Now, do you know what the caller is
referring to, a man you condemned?
I I don't have the faintest idea.
I'm a builder, not a judge.
Okay.
Has anyone shown you or Landon
any aggression recently?
I own a New York sports team.
We lose a game,
I hear it from every angle
emails, social media.
Some of these fans are nuts.
Cam Roberts he has a gun now.
He missed a free throw.
Some lunatic gambler
comes at him after a game

I had to build a private exit
just to keep my players safe.
Okay.
And this gambler was
apprehended by the NYPD?
All right, we'll look into that.
But let's talk about
your son for a moment.
I see that he has a couple
of drug-related
school suspensions.
My son isn't the criminal here.
- He's being held for ransom.
- I understand.
I'm not trying to offend.
I'm just trying to paint a picture.
If he is into something,
this could be about that.
And I'd really like to get an edge
for when the kidnappers call back.
Yeah, I know what you mean,

Well, Landon sure

You getting any ideas?
Maybe a little pop of color

Funny, Scola.
How much longer is Maggie at the school?
BAU in-service lasts about a week, why?
- Are you getting sick of me?

You guys find anything?
No, nothing yet.
So are we thinking maybe
this was an outside job,
or Landon knew the people that took him?
I pay a firm to scrub
Landon from the internet.
You'd have to dig deep
to find a recent photo of him.
With all due respect,
that doesn't really answer our question.
Well, we're not sure yet,
a lot of possibilities.
We do know Landon has a couple
of drug-related suspensions,
so it's possible some dealer found out
how deep his pockets really are.
Hmm. Okay. Well, we know that
he left last night without his phone,

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Well, well, well.
Let's get this to the lab.
Last night, 18-year-old
Landon Gibney was kidnapped.
We all know his father,
Stan Gibney, real estate mogul
and owner of the New York Jackals.
This morning,
he received a ransom message
demanding that he, and I quote,
"save a man he condemned."
Okay, well, Ian was not able
to strip the voice modulator
from the message,
so that's a no-go on any voice matching.
What about the kidnapper's ask?
Does Stan know who
the guy is talking about?
A man he condemned?
No, Stan is drawing a blank.
And it's not an angry ex-wife.
He's a widower.
And according to him, there is
no ex-employee waging a vendetta.
Jubal's gonna remain on site until
we can clarify the ransom demands.
But where are we with the drugs
found in Landon's bedroom?
Presumptive test of the pills
came back as ketamine.
All right, so a teen dabbles in drugs,
gets himself into trouble.
That wouldn't be a first.
Maybe a bit more than dabble.
I've been combing Landon's Instagram.
He has two profiles linked
to his phone number,
a main profile and a secret finsta
fake Instagram.
I have daughters now.
On his finsta, Landon was
DM'ing with a user profile,
@RocklTMan929, about buying
well, he used the rocket ship emoji.
Oh, rocket ship emoji.
The emoji commonly translates
to high quality party drugs
ketamine, MDMA.
Right. Did they set a time for the deal?
Last night, 9:00 p.m.
Wait, Landon met
a drug dealer the same night
he gets taken for ransom?
I don't like that coincidence.
Yeah, I ran the dealer's handle.
Phone number linked to RocklTMan
belongs to a Vinnie Toscano.
He lives in Ridgewood.

charges of drugs, assault.

Hello?
He's gone.
Who is Eric Atwood?
So, eight years ago,
Eric Atwood was convicted
of first-degree murder
outside of Philadelphia,
and he was sentenced to death.
He's currently at FCI
Grantsburgh awaiting execution.
So how does that tie to Stan Gibney?
The victim is Jenny Richards.
Her body was found on federal land
that Stan had been developing,
part of an opportunity zone.
He stood to lose millions
if the project was delayed,
so he put out aggressive ads.
He made a strong PR push
for a speedy conviction
and the death penalty.
Do you know the details?
Jenny Richards disappeared
after a shift at a diner.
Weeks later, her body was found.
She was stabbed to death.
The kidnapping is all about that case.
They were trying to use
Stan Gibney's son as leverage,
but things didn't go their way.
Okay, what was the outcome
of Eric Atwood's case?
How did it end?
What evidence was used against him?
Eric Atwood was Jenny's manager,
the last person to see her alive.
Philly PD found a folding knife
with Jenny's blood
in Eric's locker.
Eric is set to be executed tomorrow.
All right, Elise, get ahold
of the visitor's logs.
We need to know who was meeting him.
Give me one second.
I've got one name, Sean Lewis.
He made four recent visits
to Eric Atwood
up at FCI Grantsburgh.
Most recent one was three days ago.
Well, what's the connection?
Sean Lewis was a dishwasher
at the same restaurant
where Atwood worked.
He grew up in foster care.
He's a violent alcoholic,
multiple charges.
It looks like he got some help
from a Big Brother program.
Atwood was his Big Brother.
Sean Lewis calls him a hero.
All right, well, let's assume
that Sean Lewis believed
that Eric was about to be
wrongfully executed
and that Stan Gibney was to blame.
Do we know where Sean is?
No, but records show that
he rented a van last week.
Let's find that vehicle now.

But Sean Lewis was not

we have multiple kidnappers.

The prints on the driver
matched to a Chase McVeigh.
He was a contractor
out of West Chester, PA,
had a stint in juvie before
a Big Brother program
helped him out of a bad spot.
Okay, so I'm guessing
his mentor was Eric Atwood.
Signal messages on McVeigh's phone
detail the plan to abduct Landon.
They were watching the building,
and after they saw
Ricky and Landon leave,
the plan was to grab Landon
when he headed back home.
And I've been running the other number
on that Signal chat.
I can confirm it's Sean Lewis.
Right, so Eric saved his mentees,

AUSA Morgan, Special Agent Ramos.
I appreciate you coming down.
Well, I wasn't given much choice.
- It sounded urgent.
- It is.
Are those the Atwood appeal filings?
This is everything.
But what am I missing?
Why is the FBI digging
into Eric Atwood now?
Well, we are dealing
with an active situation.
People who believe he's
innocent have taken hostages.
Then they've been listening
to too many podcasts.
The Atwood case was open and shut.
Eric's appeals focus heavily
on witness credibility.
There's holes in their timeline.
You were under a lot of
pressure to get a conviction.
We always are.
That's the job.
Yes, but without this key witness,
the State couldn't place Eric
with the victim
at the location where
her body was found.
It didn't matter.
Detectives found a folding
knife in Eric's work locker,
had the girl's blood on it.
And the blade matched her wounds.
Agent Ramos,
Eric Atwood killed that girl.
And there's nothing in
that file that says otherwise.

No! No. That's not happening.
