Can't sleep?
No, I'm fine.
You know, they say it takes
a week to come down
for every month you're undercover.
- You just made that up.
- Did I?
You obviously just made that up, Zara.
I don't think it was that obvious.
You know, I stayed out of the field
after our last case.
Took a minute,
but it's like I never left.
You don't think I'm ready?
I'm saying there's no rush.
You did so much, Omar
brought down Anna Vorpe.
You stopped a rogue strike team.
I, um, also
promised someone
that I would save them
and I didn't get to them in time.

I didn't know.
What does Maggie say about all of it?

Yeah.
Same page.

Hey, back in the saddle.
Giddyup.
- Three sugars.
- Thank you.
You have no idea how much I need this.
- What, a late night?
- No.
Just getting used to being
back in one time zone again.
Oh, that's Isaiah's desk. [LAUGHS]
- How's it feel to be back?
- Like I never left.
OA, good to have you here.
Listen, you guys are up next.
We have an abduction
out in Forest Hills.
What do we know?
Six-month-old taken in a carjacking.
Guess we'll be caffeinating in the car.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
He just came running out of nowhere,
and I didn't know what to do.
And I tried to run after him, but
Okay. Take a deep breath, okay?
- Nice and slow.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY]
There you go.
What were you doing out
on the street so early?
My husband travels for work.
He's the one who usually gets
Hadley to fall asleep.
And the only thing that works
is driving him around.
[CRYING] I just wanted him
to stop crying.
Do you know the exact time that it was?
I-I looked at the clock. It was 5:45.
Hadley had finally fallen asleep.
I have to give it 15 minutes,
or he wakes up.
- Right. So you parked the car?
- Right. Yes, right here.
I got out to talk to my husband.
He's Upstate.
And the guy came from nowhere
and jumps in our van
and takes off with
Your son inside.
Can you describe the man?
Average height,
maybe Hispanic, maybe Black.
Uh, he was covered in blood.
- Was he injured?
- I don't know.
It happened so fast.
Please, promise me you'll find my baby.
We can't make that promise.

Mrs. Kuo, the FBI will stop at nothing
to bring your baby back.
That is a promise.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
It's my husband calling for an update.
Okay, you tell him that we're on it.
♪
What was that?
I don't want to give her false hope.
We're going to find that baby.
What if we don't?
Well, I can't think like that.
You make a promise you can't keep,
that means you are all hat, no cattle.
I'm not doing that anymore.
♪
All right, folks, listen up.
Hadley Kuo needs our help.
He was kidnapped this morning
outside his home.
So we need to work fast.
We need to work together.
And there's no margin
for error here, right?
So stay with us.
All right, so, uh, I sent Zara
to the family's house
in case a ransom comes in.
- Any updates on the AMBER alert?
- Unfortunately, no.
Okay, and the stolen van
that has no GPS?
Correct, it's an older model.
We issued a BOLO, but
All right, so we have no idea
where the vehicle is.
All right, talk to me
about the abduction footage.
Yeah, we got doorbell-cam
footage from the neighbor
- across the street.
- Hmm.
All right, that is
Jennifer Kuo leaving her home
with baby Hadley.
She puts him in the van
drives off.
Okay, fast-forward.
All right, here she comes back.
She's letting the kid sleep, right?
Then she steps away to take a call.
That is when our carjacker runs in,
jumps behind the wheel, and speeds off.
Jennifer goes after him.
Okay, he had a limp, right?
And he looked desperate.
I mean, this could very well be
an unintentional abduction, right?
He he might not have known
that kid was in the car.
That's not enough for facial rec, is it?
It's too far away,
but this security company
does cover a bunch of homes in the area.
Yeah, how we doing tracking
him from there?
No, we lose the van a few blocks away.
What about the second-best thing?
Where'd he come from?
Pulling footage from
other doorbell cams.
Hang on. Here we go.
Uh, carjacking at 6:00 a.m.
on Fischer Ave.
Here is our perp coming
from Massey Lane at 5:59.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Yep, got him on Preston Hallow, 5:58.
And here he is on Kingsley Drive at 5:57
- coming from Cambridge, but
- [KEYS CLACKING]
- That's as far as we go.
- That's it?
All right, so he had to come
from somewhere around there, right?
So we should canvass the area.
Hey, uh, you ready
for a long-shot theory?
Uh, okay.
NYPD got reports of a woman
screaming in that area
right before the time of the carjacking.
When they sent units,
they found a woman dead.
So, if our guy was covered in blood
Murder, grand theft auto,
and abduction all in one night.
Yeah. Guy could be going
for a Guinness record.
Send Maggie and OA.
Okay, I can't let it go.
What is this "all hat, no cattle" thing?
I knew that was coming.
It's a thing Devon used to say.
Actually, you know what?
I had a partner in Kokimo
that would always say,
"that dog just won't hunt."
It was so annoying.
It took me, like, a year
to get it out of my head.
I will retire my phrase
if you never say that one.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, you never even told me
what it was like working with Anna.
I mean, you said something
about time zones.
- Where did she go?
- Eh, London, Tehran, Cairo.
That's it?
Honestly, I think the stories
would just bore you.
You think our cases are connected?
It's too early to tell,
but it's possible
that the carjacker
was fleeing this house.
Busy guy.
Well, no points for ambition.
So who was she?
Amanda Murray
neighbor called in a woman
screaming for help at 5:51 this morning.
We showed within 3.
That's not long before someone stole
Jennifer Kuo's car seven blocks north.
He could have covered that
much ground if he was motivated.
- Neighbors see anybody run away?
- No.
And the perp used a knife
with a wooden handle,
so prints are a long shot.
All we know is the knife
belonged to Amanda.
Well, obviously, somebody
kicked in the front door.
That was us.
Home has smart locks
that reset after a minute.
We had to breach.
When we come through, found
the back door was unlocked.
Okay, so our guy either
picked the back door to enter,
or he was invited in
and ran out the back
after you guys arrived.
My vote is he was invited in,
and him and Amanda had a little party.
So he had a few too many,
maybe he lost his cool,
then split before NYPD arrives.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Question is, was this our guy?
Cops show up, our guy sprints off.
That dog takes a chunk out of his leg.
Now he's bleeding.
Or he jumps this fence, cuts himself,
lands awkwardly,
and that's why he's limping.
[BARKS]
He runs off desperate,
steals the minivan.
With the baby inside.
All right, we need to get ER
to scrape this blood to get an ID.
I'll tell NYPD to wrap things up.
This is our case now.
All right, so we are officially adding
a homicide investigation
to our abduction case.
Talk to me about our new vic.
Amanda Murray she was 31,
VP of Systems Engineering
at Sovereign Rocketry
- a private aerospace company.
- Yeah, they're a big deal.
Oh, yeah, multibillion-dollar valuation.
CEO is Kaspar Sorenson.
Guy's already a billionaire,
and they're about to go public.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I take it there's no footage
from Amanda's house
- that can ID her guest?
- Nothing.
High-level engineers like Amanda
subscribe to a zero-trust mentality,
so they don't have security cams
or any recording devices in their home,
making it as hard as possible
to get hacked.
Right. We call that paranoid.
- Got the forensics?
- Jubal, can I
Uh, y-yeah, what's up?
Prints came back from the crime scene.
Didn't quite believe it,
but then the DNA came back
the blood we found on the fence.
And, uh, I wanted you to see it first.

[ENGINE TURNING OVER]
No, this this can't be right.
We didn't want to believe it either.
The fact is, we have evidence
that ties Isaiah to this murder
and the child abduction.
There has to be an explanation for this,
and we need to find it.
Well, we've been unable
to locate him so far.
Uh, we believe he spent
the night with the victim.
His prints were all over her place.
It's this woman here,
Amanda Murray.
You knew her.
It's Amanda, his ex.
We all thought for sure
that they'd be married by now.
- Uh, what happened?
- She broke it off last year.
And Isaiah took it hard.
You think he took it hard
enough to do something like this?
Look, we know that Isaiah is family.
As a courtesy to you,
we could investigate
as quietly as possible,
make the teams smaller.
We will treat Isaiah
like any other suspect.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
All right, we all know
Special Agent Green,
but we are not gonna let this
cloud our investigation.
That's right our job is
to find Isaiah and bring him in
so we can figure out what
the hell is going on, right?
All right, so who can
tell me where he is?
His cell phone is powered off.
Well, if he's running and
it looks like he is running
he knows our protocol,
so let's dig deeper.
That's right.
We need to find him, people.
Aviation Squad in Dallas,
Narco Terror in Miami
this kid's record is spotless.
You you really think
he'd throw it all away?
ERT just searched his apartment
- no sign of Isaiah or the baby.
- Mm-hmm.
They did find several prescriptions
for antidepressants
and mood stabilizers.
Wait, t-there's no history
of mental illness in his file.
He could have been hiding
that from the Bureau.
We've reached out to the psychiatrist.
She confirmed the prescription
but wouldn't tell us anything else.
Okay, we're gonna need a subpoena
to get access to his medical records.
I will reach out
to the U.S. Attorney's Office,
- get it fast-tracked.
- Great.
[SIGHS] Okay, well,
one thing's for sure
Isaiah's not thinking clearly.
Every second that baby is in his
custody, he could be in danger.
Okay, how we doing
with the the AMBER Alert?
Uh, yeah, nothing yet, but
we just got a hit on the BOLO.
That minivan Isaiah stole
was spotted in a residential
driveway in Rosedale
house currently rented
to an Austin Brown, 38.
All right, get a team there right now.
Somebody want to tell me
how this Austin guy fits
into the puzzle?
Based on Amanda Murray's social media,
it looks like they're dating.
♪
Okay, well, I'm gonna say it
just 'cause it needs to be said
this looks like it could be
a crime of passion.
Isaiah kills his ex and then
goes after the guy who she left him for.
Doesn't mean it's true.
Let's just hope that's not
where we're headed.

Anything?
Isaiah isn't in there.
All right, car seat's empty,
no sign of Hadley Kuo.

- FBI. Are you Austin Brown?
- Yeah. What do you want now?
Your buddy already made me
late for work.
- Our buddy?
- Agent Green.
Guy shows up talking a mile a minute,
then leaves his van in my driveway.
What'd he say?
Kept going on about a break-in.
Said the FBI was looking into it.
Yeah? Break-in where?
At Amanda's.
Amanda Murray's.
Said the FBI would investigate
because of her job.
I already went through this.
I was at the gym with 30 other people,
and I'm not some dude
who would break
into his ex-girlfriend's place.
"Ex-girlfriend"? We were under
the impression that you guys
- were still together.
- No.
I broke it off last week.
I thought Amanda was cheating on me.
She was spending nights and weekends
with some guy from her job.
She denied it, but she wouldn't
tell me what was going on.
Okay, this guy from work
you have a name?
Cory Oden.
I already told Agent Green this.
Look, what's what's
really going on here?
Look, Austin, it wasn't just a break-in.
Um, Amanda was found murdered
this morning in her house.
What?
Amanda's dead?

We're very sorry.
- Y-you think it's Cory?
- We're not sure.
We're looking into that right now.

Hold on. I need you
to hold on for me here, Austin.
Last question, okay?
When you saw Agent Green
did he have an infant,
little baby?
Baby?
No.

W-what the hell is going on here?

Losing my mind.
I don't know how Isaiah found
himself in the middle of this mess.
- We're missing something.
- Are we?
I mean, Austin's alibi checks out.
Isaiah still looks good
for Amanda's murder.
You don't know him.
This isn't like him.
You barely know him, Maggie.
You worked together
for, what, three months?
I trust him.
Why aren't you trusting me right now?
I am just not following my emotion.
- I'm following the evidence.
- Then fine.
Let's run through the evidence, okay?
Isaiah steals a minivan,
and the first thing he does is,
goes to Amanda's ex-boyfriend's house
- to question him.
- Mm-hmm.
What man who's wanted for murder
stops to conduct his own interview?
A man trying to clear his name.
No, I was gonna say,
a man who's trying to solve
the murder of the woman he loves.
He gets there
and he learns about Cory Oden
Amanda's coworker.
I mean, he's clearly running
his own investigation.
So why not ask us for help?
- Why not turn over the baby?
- I don't know.
They said they found meds
in his apartment.
Maybe he's spinning out.
I'm not making excuses for him.
I'm just
You always see the good

Let's go talk to Cory.
I don't understand.
There was an AMBER alert.
- No one's seen anything?
- I know this is frustrating.
We're using every resource in our power
- to answer that question.
- My son is missing.
You said you were here because
the guy might reach out,
but it's been hours.
If this were about money,
wouldn't a ransom note
or something have come by now?
The truth is, we don't know
why they took Hadley.
Oh, God.
What is he gonna do to my baby?
The good news is, we have
ID'd a person of interest.
Who?
That's all I can say.
What are you talking about?
This is my baby, my family.
Who took him?
Excuse me, everyone. FBI.
I need everyone's attention
for a moment.
All right, I need to speak
to a Cory Oden.
Does anyone know where Cory Oden is?
Cory Oden, right now
just a quick conversation
with Cory Oden.
Wait, what's this about?
Is everything okay with Cory?

Isaiah's going through a manic episode
- from bipolar disorder.
- What?
I had no idea.
Neither did he, until a year ago.
It's common for a diagnosis
to come later in life.
When Isaiah takes
his medication, he's stable.
But he admitted
that he hasn't been on his meds
for about a month.
Why would he stop taking them?
He said the pills
made his hand unsteady,
and tremors can be a side effect.
But it's also common
for patients to falsely believe
they're better
and no longer require medication.
Okay, well, what, uh,
triggered the mania today?
The short answer trauma.
Going off his meds left him
in a vulnerable state.
But then whatever happened
between he and Amanda,
well, it just pushed him over the edge.
Well, when can we see him?
We're reintroducing medication,
but he's fluctuating
between lucidity and mania.
I don't know how effective
an interview will be right now.
He needs time.
Well, unfortunately, time's
the one thing we don't have.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Come on, I need to get out
of here, Bell.
- I need answers.
- I know.
We're gonna get the answers.
You need to be here right now.
We have some questions for you.
- You need to be honest with us.
- Yeah.
Why'd you kill Amanda Murray?
What? No, I
[SIGHS]
I didn't kill her.
You didn't leave the scene
when the police arrived,
- covered in her own blood?
- No Yes, I-I ran.
But I didn't kill her
I don't think.
- You don't think?
- I don't remember.
Isaiah, let's start with
what you do remember.
Okay.
I was at the bar, at a restaurant,
and Amanda walks in.
I hadn't seen her in months, and
and she was just right there.
It was like it was a sign
a second chance, you know, and
we talked all night.
And you went back to her place?
Yeah.
You know the deal.
Every detail matters.
Red wine
she wanted a drink, and I had a glass,

We opened up another bottle.
Then I slept in the other room,
and and the next thing I know,
I'm waking up.
She's dead. I'm running,
hopping a fence and
Okay, hold on, hold on.
The neighbor said
that she called the police
when she heard Amanda screaming.
- That didn't wake you up?
- No, no, no.
The banging at the door
that that's what woke me.
- We could have helped you.
- Yeah.
With blood all over me
I know how it looked.
Man, I needed answers, all right?
I needed to solve this.
Come on, Bell,
we're wasting too much time.
I know. Okay.
So you went to Cory's house
Amanda's coworker
to get answers, right?
Yeah.
Isaiah, that's where we found
you, over top of Cory's body,
holding the knife that killed him.
I was trying to help him.
Don't you believe me?
I would like to.
Look, I know you loved Amanda.
- I never stopped loving her.
- Okay.
Isaiah, there's something that
you haven't talked about yet.
In the minivan that you took,
there was a baby in the back seat.
Hadley Kuo.
Where is he?
No, no, no, there there
there was no baby in the back
No, Isaiah, there was a baby.
What did you do with him?
- Please think I mean, anything.

Okay.
The smell of flowers,
h-h-hibiscus, and there were flames.
At Cory Oden's house,
t-t-there was a fire.
There was someone else there.
Wait, someone else was in the house?
- Yes.
- Can you describe them?

Well, I-I mean, he's trying.
He's just so confused.
Yeah, and he's still linked
to two dead bodies.
Did he say anything
about the missing baby?
He doesn't remember.
But if he retreats any further,
we're gonna lose any chance
of finding out what he did
with Hadley
There there's no way
he hurt that baby.
But we can't know that for sure.
If it were you out there,
I would make sure
that I turned over every stone
before believing
that you were a murderer.
- What are you thinking, Zidan?
- I don't know yet.
But Maggie thinks your nephew
is innocent.
We did find him
over a second body, though.
So I think we should just
let them process the scene,
and then we will see what we learn.
ERT processed the scene.
No hits on any prints or DNA in the home
other than Cory Oden and Isaiah.
Okay, right.
How we doing on surveillance?
No cameras there, either.
He followed the same protocol as Amanda.
Right, which leaves Isaiah
as our prime suspect.
But ho hold on, Sovereign
is the nexus here, right?
Somebody is killing off their employees.
Well, it's more targeted than that.
Amanda and Cory
both worked quality control.
- She was his boss.
- Exactly.
And you you know how I feel
about coincidences.
Well, we know that Amanda
found something at work
that scared her.
Well, if Cory Oden worked for her,
- maybe he knew about it, too.
- Right.
And the killer is silencing them
right before their company goes public.
Okay, is there anyone else
on Amanda's team
who knows what they know?
Only one, per company records

I don't know anything about it.
Then how did you get your hands on it?
Okay, look, Serena,
you're either a murderer,
or you're part of a conspiracy

There's something on there
that you don't want anybody
to see, okay?

it got two people killed.

Sovereign-9 reusable rockets,
postflight inspections, cost analysis.

a design flaw.
What kind of flaws are we talking about?
Remember the Titan submersible?
Yeah, it imploded under pressure.
Right, five five people inside, yeah?
Exactly. They used a carbon-fiber hull.
It's the same thing here, but
with a rocket going into space.

that the carjacker
was fleeing this house.
Busy guy.
Well, no points for ambition.
So who was she?
Amanda Murray
neighbor called in a woman
screaming for help at 5:51 this morning.
We showed within 3.
That's not long before someone stole
Jennifer Kuo's car seven blocks north.
He could have covered that
much ground if he was motivated.
- Neighbors see anybody run away?
- No.
And the perp used a knife
with a wooden handle,
so prints are a long shot.
All we know is the knife
belonged to Amanda.
Well, obviously, somebody
kicked in the front door.
That was us.
Home has smart locks
that reset after a minute.
We had to breach.
When we come through, found
the back door was unlocked.
Okay, so our guy either
picked the back door to enter,
or he was invited in
and ran out the back
after you guys arrived.
My vote is he was invited in,
and him and Amanda had a little party.
So he had a few too many,
maybe he lost his cool,
then split before NYPD arrives.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Question is, was this our guy?
Cops show up, our guy sprints off.
That dog takes a chunk out of his leg.
Now he's bleeding.
Or he jumps this fence, cuts himself,
lands awkwardly,
and that's why he's limping.

steals the minivan.

All right, we need to get ER

to come later in life.
When Isaiah takes
his medication, he's stable.
But he admitted
that he hasn't been on his meds
for about a month.
Why would he stop taking them?
He said the pills
made his hand unsteady,
and tremors can be a side effect.
But it's also common
for patients to falsely believe
they're better
and no longer require medication.
Okay, well, what, uh,
triggered the mania today?
The short answer trauma.
Going off his meds left him
in a vulnerable state.
But then whatever happened
between he and Amanda,
well, it just pushed him over the edge.
Well, when can we see him?
We're reintroducing medication,
but he's fluctuating
between lucidity and mania.
I don't know how effective
an interview will be right now.
He needs time.
Well, unfortunately, time's
the one thing we don't have.

Why'd you kill Amanda Murray?
What? No, I

But I didn't kill her
I don't think.
- You don't think?
- I don't remember.
Isaiah, let's start with
what you do remember.
Okay.
I was at the bar, at a restaurant,
and Amanda walks in.
I hadn't seen her in months, and
and she was just right there.
It was like it was a sign
a second chance, you know, and
we talked all night.
And you went back to her place?
Yeah.
You know the deal.
Every detail matters.
Red wine
she wanted a drink, and I had a glass,

She was upset

She she she couldn't say, but
she was afraid.

The neighbor said
that she called the police

In the minivan that you took,
there was a baby in the back seat.
Hadley Kuo.

ERT processed the scene.
No hits on any prints or DNA in the home
other than Cory Oden and Isaiah.
Okay, right.
How we doing on surveillance?
No cameras there, either.
He followed the same protocol as Amanda.
Right, which leaves Isaiah
as our prime suspect.
But ho hold on, Sovereign
is the nexus here, right?
Somebody is killing off their employees.
Well, it's more targeted than that.
Amanda and Cory
both worked quality control.
- She was his boss.
- Exactly.

about coincidences.
Well, we know that Amanda
found something at work
that scared her.
Well, if Cory Oden worked for her,

right before their company goes public.
Okay, is there anyone else

Here we go
specs for her company's
Sovereign-9 reusable rockets,
postflight inspections, cost analysis.
Now, I'm not quite a rocket scientist,

It's from Cory Oden.
He was trying to point out
a design flaw.
What kind of flaws are we talking about?
Remember the Titan submersible?
Yeah, it imploded under pressure.
Right, five five people inside, yeah?
Exactly. They used a carbon-fiber hull.
It's the same thing here, but
with a rocket going into space.
If they launched it,
the whole thing would explode.
Okay, so is this enough to tank the IPO
and and Serena's shares enough
to motivate her to take out
her two colleagues?

- It's not good publicity.
Serena's lawyer just sent over evidence
alibiing her out of both murders.
- What? What's the alibi?
- Video.
