FBI (2018) s01e06 Episode Script
Family Man
1 I am not a U.
S.
senator.
I am you.
And I am you, and I am you.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, incredible.
Incredible.
You crushed it.
He's right, he's right.
- You were amazing.
- Yeah? Oh, yeah, it's like you caught your second wind.
Better late than never.
Oh, we made up five points in five days.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- I think we might actually - win this thing.
- Okay, one request.
- Anything.
- When this whole circus is over, no more Chris riding in the car with us - all the way home.
- ALL: I am you! I am you! I promise.
ALL: I am you! I am you! The secret to America is everyone thinks they can get rich.
People just want their fair shot.
So talking about leveling the playing field Senator, it resonates.
I always think politicians playing man of the people sounds like BS.
Unless you left home at 17, built a successful business on your own, and remember what that took.
Uh-huh.
You should say that next time you intro him.
[LAUGHING.]
Okay.
Why is the gate open? I don't know.
.
Oh, the stroller's out.
You know, Gracie must have been fussing and Elena just wanted to get her inside.
Gracie.
Daddy's home.
Shh.
You wake the baby, my next speech'll be your eulogy.
[WHISPERING.]
Elena.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Elena? It's okay, Elena just emailed.
What? What is it? "You're a liar.
$100 million or your baby dies.
" No, that no, that can't be real.
"No cops, no press.
" Gary, what is this? There's a video.
[SHOUTING.]
Oh, God! Oh! Oh, no, no, Gracie, my baby! That's my baby! No, no, no! [TENSE MUSIC.]
Kay, pull up in front.
Let the gate close before we get out.
You know I worked undercover, right? We have two hours to get on top of this.
Kidnappers gave them 24.
75% of abducted kids who don't make it are killed within the first three hours.
That email came in an hour ago.
The baby was grabbed outside.
House wasn't breached.
We can skip an ERT scrub.
Let's set up inside.
Any luck with the ransom email? Sent from the nanny's phone.
Traced to Queens, shut off right away.
No signal to track.
- What about the video? - We're analyzing it.
Senator Lynch, I'm the special agent in charge, Dana Mosier.
The Attorney General has been briefed.
I'll keep him updated.
My ASAC, Jubal Valentine, will coordinate the response from here.
Yeah, we got the NYPD and New York State Police setting up checkpoints, and we have agents going door to door in your neighborhood.
They said no cops.
So if they're watching, it's Uh, no, the agents are posing as Neighborhood Patrol looking into recent car thefts.
Agents Bell and Zidan will work the case from your home, but you have the full force of the Bureau looking for your daughter.
Thank you.
So in these cases, how often does, um Every one's different.
Mm-hmm.
Senator, can you show me where the security cameras are, please? Of course.
Why don't you cancel the senator's schedule for the rest of the day? Just say I'm not feeling well.
All right, but a few more questions.
If we say it's Mrs.
Lynch Just, uh, take care of it, okay? Other than the nanny, is there anyone else who's involved in your family's life? Well, I'm a public official.
But I like to keep my private life private.
So there's no one else who's around regularly? Knows your family, your home? Just Chris.
My Chief of Staff.
He didn't do this.
So who would? [GIGGLING.]
We just bought Gracie a big girl bed, so.
Can you tell me what happened? I don't know.
Uh, we got home.
And we went up to find Gracie and she was gone.
Do Elena and Gracie have a schedule? Walks the same time every day? It depends on Gracie's naps.
So besides Elena, no one else would have known when they were leaving? I know this looks bad.
But I can't imagine Elena would do this.
How much do you know about her? The nanny has no criminal record.
No debt, no problems with immigration.
She sends money home to her family in Colombia.
Our Bogota office into that? They're paying a visit now, but still.
Why ask for 100 million rather than, say, 1 million? Maybe someone in her life got mixed up with the cartels.
Massive ask is their style.
Spending two years taking care of that baby just to set this up? 99 times out of 100, kids are taken by someone they know.
And no one had better access.
Look, I don't want to be disrespectful.
Just ask what you have to ask.
Is there anything going on in your life that could cause problems? Such as? Gambling, debts, affairs? We don't have those kinds of issues.
Are you sure you'd know? My life with Gary is good.
His career, Gracie, it's all we wanted.
Oh, is that why you're you're talking to us separately.
We can cover more ground that way.
Hopefully get closer to a motive.
But isn't the motive money? They want the money.
But they also called your husband a liar.
That's personal.
Who would do that? I get called worse every day.
That's politics.
Have you received any threats? Sure.
Like every other senator.
But they get checked out.
Could this be from someone in your life before politics? Your business? Well, I sold my construction company when I decided to run for office, so Construction's a rough industry.
You mean corrupt? I'm not making judgments.
Just looking for answers.
Any bad blood with you and former partners, competitors, fired employees? From six years ago? You've moved on.
It does not mean everyone else has.
Agent Zidan, I I wish I could point at an enemy.
But I don't know who would do this.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, get whatever you can find on the senator.
He would have been well-vetted as a candidate.
But we can go back through every form he filed, to press coverage Also, check with the Public Integrity Section at Justice.
See if they've got any open investigations into the senator.
Can I go to Dana if I get pushback? You can go to anyone for any of this.
And pull in as many other analysts as you need.
We're on a clock.
What if we pay the money? FBI policy is not to advise people whether or not to pay ransom.
But what do you think? If you do, there's no guarantee that they'll return Gracie safely.
- But if you don't - There's no way we get her back.
We just can't predict what the kidnappers might do.
We'll pay.
Okay.
$100 million.
I'm assuming you'll have to liquidate some assets.
I can do it quickly.
I don't care how much it costs.
I just want Gracie back.
I pulled down and cleaned up the security footage.
It's ready.
It's it's better if we watch it first.
We've got this.
[WHIMPERING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
The Lynches had the yard covered from every angle.
The van blocks the exit and the visual from the street.
The kid and the nanny were grabbed fast.
These guys are not amateurs.
Did we get anything off the van? Plates were stolen.
Put out a BOLO on the van.
Whoa, can you rewind that back? As soon as the gate was open the van was in.
The kidnappers had to know exactly when the baby was going for a walk.
Except that Gracie doesn't have a set routine.
Canvas didn't ID anybody sitting outside of the house this morning.
The timing was perfect.
Same with the ransom email.
It hit right when the Lynches got into Gracie's room and saw that she was missing.
The kidnappers weren't watching the house from the outside; they were watching it from the inside.
So you can track all the signals going out of the house with this? Even you could do that part.
The trick is accessing the signal and reversing it so we can see what the kidnappers saw.
POV looks like it's from the wall opposite the door.
We have to assume they're still watching.
Okay, so how do we get in there without being seen? Can you knock the feed offline? - Your Wi-Fi ever go down? - Mm-hmm.
So does the Lynches'.
Camera jammer.
Don't move the camera.
I'll un-jam the signal when you're done.
You're on.
Make it quick.
1:00 pm.
Three hours in.
I know.
You got a gut feeling here? No.
When I was a cop in Indiana, I worked a kidnapping with the Bureau.
It's actually how I ended up here.
What happened? Well, we found the kidnappers in under six hours, but the kid was already dead before they even made the ransom demand.
The parents had no idea? None of us did.
Gut feelings don't matter here.
You can't speculate about the outcome.
Just work as fast as you can.
Maggie? There's a camera in the left eye.
Either of you recognize this? Uh, no.
But Gracie has so many toys in that room.
Could Elena have brought that in? How many other people have been in your house recently? We host a lot of political events.
Can you start making a list? - I can do that.
- Yeah.
Jubal, hey.
We found the kidnapper's van off the Henry Hudson, ERT's en route.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
We didn't touch anything, waited for you guys.
It's the nanny.
The senator's baby is still missing, we haven't heard from the kidnappers in five hours, and now the prime suspect's been murdered, too.
Are we thinking the nanny helped and outlived her usefulness? Haven't found anything to suggest it.
More likely collateral damage.
Soon as her name gets out there, it's just a matter of time before the press connects her to Lynch.
We told the police to hold off on the release, say they're looking for next of kin.
Tell them the AG will take a personal interest in this if it's leaked.
Coming from BAU, I figured you'd have some psychological trick to make people do what you want.
Sometimes a simple threat works better.
Hey, any red flags in the senator's past? Not that we found.
Public Integrity has no open investigations.
And if we start pressing his old associates without explaining why, it could look like the Bureau messing around in politics.
Not a fire I'm anxious to start.
So we have no leads? There is one.
I was digging around in some old press coverage.
Press coverage is the "Times" or the "Journal.
" Just because it's gossip doesn't mean it's not true.
Okay.
Uh, back when Lynch was just a rich guy being floated as a potential candidate, there was a blind item about someone who sounded like him being extorted by a hostess at a restaurant where he liked to hold court.
An affair.
Yeah, if you believe that trash.
We don't have to believe it.
We do have to ask about it.
Tell Maggie and OA to tread lightly.
Right.
Who is this woman to you? That was years ago.
I asked you about affairs.
You lied to me.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who was she? Nicole Sousa.
Young, beautiful.
Nuts.
It was a short-lived mistake.
Have you seen her since? I hadn't seen her for years.
Until two weeks ago.
Then she showed up here.
How long was Nicole in the house? 20 minutes.
Max.
And nothing happened.
But she could have placed the camera.
No, I was with her the whole time.
Well, I did, uh, step away for a minute to take a phone call, an urgent one from Chris.
Then why did she come? She said she was sick.
She needed money again.
Same old story.
Did you give her any? No.
I didn't believe her.
You think she lied about being sick? I think she was drunk.
She was slurring.
I told her to leave.
And how did she react to that? She said I would pay.
But she didn't mean this.
Then what did she mean? If you are more concerned about protecting yourself No, that's not what this is.
She threatened you.
And you didn't tell us.
I love my wife.
Your daughter's life is on the line.
I know.
You need to tell us everything.
If I thought for a minute that Nicole would do something like this, - I would have told you.
- Mm-hmm.
She is crazy, but she is not a criminal.
- [BANGING DOOR.]
- Open up! What's going on? Nicole Sousa? FBI.
Get off of me! Leave me alone! What's that? Is that a baby? - Anyone else in the apartment? - No.
Put your guns down! It's just my kid in there! - Ma'am.
- No, it's my kid! He's just a kid! Leave him alone! - Please! - Ma'am, please.
Maggie? He looks just like the senator.
Hi.
Hi, sweetie.
Does Senator Lynch know? No.
Is that why you're here? Gary sent you? He said you threatened him.
I told him I'm sick.
And I need help.
You have ALS.
Slurring, drop foot, the IVs.
My grandfather had it.
So you know how it turns out.
How did you know Lynch would pay? Because he's done it before, when he broke it off to run for office.
Lynch gave you money? Can't get your hands dirty when you want to be a senator.
His friend Finn brought me the money.
Told me to shut the hell up.
What else you know about Finn? He was just a thug.
Like lots of the guys Gary brought to the restaurant.
Nicole's angry.
Yeah, well, you can't blame her.
I mean, she's raising a kid alone while she's sick.
Meanwhile the rich father is with his real family living the dream life.
Are you saying she's involved in the kidnapping? Just saying it's justifiable why she'd be angry.
But she never told Gary about the boy.
You can't blame him for something he didn't know about.
Well, he's gonna find out soon enough.
What, are you gonna tell him? No choice.
It's relevant to the case.
What about the wife? Ah, I love our job.
We're gonna talk to someone who pays off mistresses to see if he knows someone corrupt enough to kidnap a baby.
Yeah.
It's ironic.
I would say more like pathetic.
[SCOFFS.]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- Joe Finnegan? My assistant said the FBI was here.
I couldn't believe it.
So what do I owe the pleasure, 'cause, trust me, I pay all of my taxes.
Tell us about Gary Lynch.
More specifically, tell us about Nicole Sousa.
Who? The woman who was extorting him.
The one you paid off? Please.
Join me in my office.
Gary had a fling.
She was harassing him.
He asked me to take care of it.
So I met her at a restaurant.
I slip her a little cash.
It's as simple as that.
You and Nicole still in touch? No.
I haven't seen or talked to her since that day.
Do you know about any other women or men who have tried to blackmail Gary? Not that I know about.
But hey, I'm his friend, not his priest.
So there's no one you can think of that might want to hurt Gary? Why? What is this about? We're not gonna get into that.
We just need to know who his enemies are.
I don't know.
But hey, he was in construction a long time, and now he's in politics, so I'm sure there's a few people out there that don't love him.
It's the cost of doing business.
But as far as I'm concerned, he is a stand-up guy.
I've known him a long time, too.
We grew up two blocks apart.
He was always a scrapper.
And everybody knew that he was gonna make it big someday.
Hey, look If this is some political thing and you're expecting me to say something bad about Gary Lynch, then you came to the wrong place.
What is it? A reporter from "The Ledger" has been calling the Bureau asking about the Gary Lynch kidnapping case.
The kidnappers said no press.
They break the story, we're in trouble.
I know, so we have to make sure they don't run it.
Gretchen Madison? Can I help you? Special Agents Bell and Zidan.
FBI.
This must be serious.
So we hear you're investigating Senator Lynch.
You don't seriously think I'll let you go on some fishing expedition.
We're not fishing.
It's bigger than that.
- You haven't run it yet.
- We're fact-checking.
Trying to avoid that pesky "fake news" charge.
We'd like you to hold it.
Is the Bureau getting pressure to step on a story about a U.
S.
senator? Because I can write about that too.
That's not what this is.
And we can't get specific.
But you expect me to trust you.
We're just asking you to hold off printing anything about Lynch for one day.
And help you protect him? It's not him we're worried about.
I'll think about it.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Jubal.
Hey.
Hey, the kidnappers reached out again.
Play the recording.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Go to Gantry State Park.
Instructions are near the playground under the last lounge chair.
Southwest corner.
Why didn't they give the instructions on the call? Probably wanted to put eyes on Lynch.
Make sure he didn't get us involved.
Car tech's still on the line.
Ian here.
I'm at the Lynch home with the senator and his wife.
Did you trace the call? Came from a burner, switched off.
Okay, can you strip the modulation off the recording? Unfortunately it wasn't modulated.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
The kidnapper used a computer voice.
So you can't trace the phone or the voice.
Looks like you're headed to the park.
We gotta go.
We're ready.
We need you to keep your cool.
Follow their instructions.
We'll be looking and listening to everything.
Yeah, all right.
This is how we get your daughter back.
Yes, thank you.
Thought you were gonna say something about the boy.
Well, the goal is to save their baby, not their marriage.
OA, everyone in place? We have the area blanketed.
Senator's headed for the chairs now.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
- Go to the other one! - Okay, okay! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
First chair is negative.
He's got something.
Can they see what he's looking at? Uh, Ian put a pinhole camera on Lynch's lapel, so they should be able to.
But we can't see it? We're not in range.
Won't transmit that far.
Hey, what's it say? "Convert the ransom to Bitcoin.
" Bitcoin is really hard to trace.
Oh, no.
What? We've got a problem.
Gretchen Madison just made the kidnapping public.
Gretchen Madison just made the kidnapping public.
She's put Gracie's life on the line for a story? Yeah, I'm pretty sure she doesn't care.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Hello? What's going on? [ROBOTIC VOICE.]
We said no press.
We have the money.
I'm gonna pay you.
Ian here.
I'm tracing the call now.
We'll have the location in 15 seconds.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Say good-bye, Daddy.
- [BABY CRYING.]
- No! - Please don't do this! - [BABY WAILING.]
Please! Almost there.
Just a few more seconds.
Please don't do this! [BABY CRYING.]
No! - That was Gracie.
- Yeah.
That was her crying on the phone.
Are you sure? I know what my daughter sounds like.
The crying, that was proof of life.
They told her to say good-bye.
To scare you.
The story came out and it scared them.
If they were gonna kill Gracie, they would have already done it.
They want the money.
If they still believe they can get it, they'll keep her alive.
You gotta hang in there.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Do we have a problem, Agent Bell? You just gave them false hope.
Do you know that it's false? I know that the stats aren't in her favor.
And the odds get worse every hour.
And now that the whole country knows, if the kidnappers are smart, they'll disappear.
And so will Gracie.
If Gracie winds up dead, it's not gonna hurt less because her parents were expecting it.
Right now we need the Lynches' full cooperation and focus and in order for them to be able to do that, they need hope.
And so do you.
So the two of you spoke to the reporter who broke the kidnapping story? We did.
But we didn't tell her anything about Gracie.
And the girlfriend? We didn't tell her either.
So who knew about this who would leak it? West Point.
The Army.
The FBI.
I understand hierarchy and why you have to protect your boss.
Uh I made the list of people who came to the house.
I checked it with Mrs.
Lynch.
I didn't hide anything.
I'm not talking about the list, Chris.
I'm talking about Nicole Sousa.
Can you have a seat? That reporter called you for a comment on the senator's affair, right? You do know that lying to an FBI agent is a federal crime? Yeah.
I talked to her.
You did what any good staff guy would do and covered the boss's ass.
It was smart.
You squashed the story about the affair by giving her the kidnapping.
Turned the scoop from being one that would have been embarrassing into one that generates sympathy.
Look, I know it seems cynical, but Did you set this whole thing up? What? That reporter called you, told you about the affair, you needed a distraction.
[SCOFFS.]
So I kidnapped Gracie? You just admitted to having motive, and we know you had access.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I swear to you, this wasn't me.
Okay, check my phone.
Give me a lie detector.
Why don't you just answer our question? This is crazy.
You think that I killed Elena? And how would I even know how to arrange a kidnapping? I'm sure you know people who do.
Really? Like who? Senator Lynch's old friends.
The ones you got rid of when you cleaned him up to run.
Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't do anything.
He cleaned himself up.
You have to believe me.
No.
We don't.
Then ask the senator.
Are you buying this? That he set this all up just to win the election? You know what, it's not impossible.
He's been jerking us around all day so let's ask the question.
Let's flat-out accuse him and see how he reacts.
Where's Mrs.
Lynch? Resting in my office.
What is it? We know you paid off Nicole.
And you had somebody threaten her.
I gave her money because she was broke.
And I had a friend deliver it.
Finn? Yes.
And maybe he went a little overboard trying to protect me, but, you know, we've been close friends since we were kids.
You had to get rid of friends like him to run for office.
Maybe he didn't appreciate that.
He would never turn on me.
Finn didn't take my daughter.
Anyone else in your past who could've? See, he already asked me about my, uh, "my past" in construction.
Yeah, I also asked you about affairs, too.
Enough! [TENSE MUSIC.]
I grew up in Queens.
I made it building low-rent housing.
I've never run away from that.
It made me who I am.
But now Now I'm a U.
S.
senator and my daughter is missing and you are treating me like a suspect.
We're doing everything we can to get Gracie back.
Not fast enough! If you don't figure this out soon, they're gonna kill her! We'll give you a minute, Senator.
I don't like him.
Don't have to.
Just find his kid.
It'd be easier if he'd cooperate.
He's scared.
Either he doesn't see or doesn't want to see who might do this to him.
So if the victim won't help, what do we do? Go back to the evidence.
Forensics is still working every pixel of the ransom video.
No location evidence, but they did a manipulated magnify on the gun in the baby's lap, found a partial serial number.
One letter, three numbers.
Which leaves 6,760 possible combinations.
That's a lot of guns to track.
ATF's working now, but we were hoping you could help narrow the search.
Look at Queens, Lynch's hometown.
You really think one of his old friends is behind this.
He has a lot of skeletons.
And he hasn't been very forthcoming.
There's gotta be someone who knew him back then who can shed some light.
We should go back at Nicole.
If there's anyone who can look hard at his past, it's her.
Yeah.
I know you said not to speculate about Gracie.
You can't help yourself.
It's hard not to wonder if she's still alive.
Do you think we'll hear from the kidnappers again? I don't know.
Maybe Dana was right about them just wanting the money.
So you don't think it's false hope? I definitely think it's false hope.
[KNOCKING.]
The TV's on.
Maybe she's sleeping.
So knock harder or I'll just take down the door.
[KNOCKING.]
Miss Sousa? Special Agents Bell and Zidan.
Move.
Sorry to steal your moment.
Miss Sousa? We're coming in.
OA.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Oxycodone.
That's not for ALS.
Is she breathing? No pulse.
She's gone.
Where's Nathan? Nathan? Nathan? Come on, buddy, wake up.
Nathan? - Wake up.
- She crushed up pills and put it in his pudding.
He's still breathing.
341 West 50th.
We've got a five-year-old male, Oxycodone poisoning.
Still breathing.
Ambulance is on its way.
No time.
You carry Narcan? [GASPS.]
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay, Nathan.
You're okay.
Might be a little late now.
Found the owner of the gun.
Nicole Sousa.
All right, so Nicole is angry.
She's desperate.
She decides to kidnap Gracie, but the plan goes sideways.
Walls start closing in.
She starts to panic, then the guilt starts crushing her.
So she pumps her body full of pills, but she doesn't want Nathan to suffer so she tries to take him with her.
But she failed.
He's gonna be okay.
That all makes sense, but if she was the kidnapper, where the hell's Gracie? Nicole has to have a partner.
There's no way in her condition she's running around parks, leaving notes under benches.
asking for Bitcoins, no chance.
Guys.
ERT has a hit on the prints found in Nicole Sousa's apartment, belonging to Joseph Finnegan.
That's rich, considering he said he met her one time seven years ago at a restaurant.
The proportion of amino acids in relation to chlorides in this print suggest it was made within the last 24 hours.
Okay, let's go talk to our senator, see what he has to say about this.
What can you tell us about Joseph Finnegan? What does Joe have to do with this? We think he might have taken Gracie.
What? Why? I've known Joe my entire life.
Well, we're pretty sure he's involved.
Why would Joseph Finnegan call you a liar? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I don't know.
Think.
Did you promise him something? No.
No, the opposite.
A few months ago, Joe asked me to help him get the government contract to build the new courthouse in Kew Gardens.
Did you say you would? I told him there was no way.
My campaign, everything that I've done since has all been about ending these kinds of inside deals.
So what did Joseph say when you refused him? He made some joke about me forgetting where I came from and how I got here.
So he helped you.
In the beginning.
I had some issues with the unions.
He, uh, straightened them out.
Well, maybe he thinks it's time to pay the piper.
Look.
Joe came to me, I said no.
I told him I'd help with something else that was more above-board.
And did you? Has he been to your house recently? Um, last month.
Gracie's second birthday party.
Joe brought his granddaughter.
House is all clear.
Told you.
Where is Gracie? Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, Joseph.
You don't want to do this.
She's two years old.
You need to end this before someone else gets hurt.
Where's the baby, Joseph? You're making a mistake.
We have his prints at Nicole's apartment.
He has to be the partner.
Yeah, but was she really his partner? What do you mean? Well, if you why would you kill yourself before the payout? If you're gonna kidnap somebody, wouldn't you play it out? See if you could even pull it off first? Okay, maybe Finn knew that she was asking for money.
Maybe she actually reached out to him to speak to the senator.
He steals her gun, he puts it in the video.
And just figured that we'd jump on it sooner or later.
Well, here's what we do know about Finnegan.
He's broke.
His house, his business, his credit cards.
All upside down.
And his son, Sean, died in prison ten days ago.
I told you.
I got nothing to do with this.
Wrong.
You stole Nicole's gun.
You deflected attention and you set her up.
A single mother dying of ALS.
Real classy move, Finn.
Where is Gracie? The prosecutor's not going to be very kind to you if anything happens to her.
Tell me where she is.
No.
I am not talking.
OA.
You won't talk to us, fine.
Tell your old friend to his face that you don't care if his little girl dies.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Joe.
For God's sake, just tell us what's going on here.
I thought we were friends.
All I've ever tried to do is help you.
Really.
You tried to help me? You got a pair of balls, Gary.
What are you talking about? My son was struggling.
He got pinched on a drug charge and I reached out to you.
But you wouldn't take my call.
You had some idiot named Chris call me, and he said you didn't want to get involved.
You were worried about the elections.
And a few months later my child took his life in that cell.
I was loyal to you.
I made you a rich man.
And when I asked for one favor, one favor, - you wouldn't take my call! - Joe! I can't just tell a judge to give your son a free pass.
That's crap.
And you know it.
Joe.
I'm truly sorry about your son.
He was my friend.
But I'm begging you.
We're talking about my daughter.
Gracie.
She didn't have anything to do with this.
I'm begging you, please.
Please.
Just tell me where my daughter is.
Is she okay? Where is she? Where is she? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
FBI! Let me see your hands! Gun! - Let me see your hands! - Get down on the ground! Get down! - [GRUNTS.]
- Get down! Hands, show me your hands! Cover! Where is she? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SOFT MUSIC.]
Gracie! [CRYING, LAUGHING.]
Hi.
Hi, honey.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, baby.
- Gracie looked okay.
- Yeah, she sure did.
Yeah, meanwhile, the nanny's dead, Nicole's dead, but the Lynches seem to be hanging in there.
Well, you'd be surprised what love makes you put up with.
I guess I owe you an apology.
For what? Gracie was fine.
The Lynches hung in there.
It wasn't false hope.
I could've just as easily been wrong.
I did the same thing once.
I was wrong.
- In Indiana.
- You know about that? You expressed some strong feelings earlier.
Figured there was something behind it.
I checked it out.
I told the kid's parents that we would find their son.
It would all be okay.
It wasn't.
You were able to give them a few hours of hope.
That's all.
Yeah.
Maggie That last kidnapping case you worked in Indiana didn't end so well.
This one did.
He's so silly, isn't he? Do you see his tongue? - [BABBLING.]
- I do, too.
Good night.
Oh, Agent Bell.
Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
It was the whole team.
But I'm so grateful we found her.
The boy my husband's son, Nathan.
What happens to him? Well, he'll be put in protective custody until Social Services finds him a place to live.
Can I adopt him? [CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
- Yeah, I'm sure there's ways.
- Yeah? Oh, well [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
S.
senator.
I am you.
And I am you, and I am you.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
Oh, yeah, baby.
Oh, incredible.
Incredible.
You crushed it.
He's right, he's right.
- You were amazing.
- Yeah? Oh, yeah, it's like you caught your second wind.
Better late than never.
Oh, we made up five points in five days.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- I think we might actually - win this thing.
- Okay, one request.
- Anything.
- When this whole circus is over, no more Chris riding in the car with us - all the way home.
- ALL: I am you! I am you! I promise.
ALL: I am you! I am you! The secret to America is everyone thinks they can get rich.
People just want their fair shot.
So talking about leveling the playing field Senator, it resonates.
I always think politicians playing man of the people sounds like BS.
Unless you left home at 17, built a successful business on your own, and remember what that took.
Uh-huh.
You should say that next time you intro him.
[LAUGHING.]
Okay.
Why is the gate open? I don't know.
.
Oh, the stroller's out.
You know, Gracie must have been fussing and Elena just wanted to get her inside.
Gracie.
Daddy's home.
Shh.
You wake the baby, my next speech'll be your eulogy.
[WHISPERING.]
Elena.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
Elena? It's okay, Elena just emailed.
What? What is it? "You're a liar.
$100 million or your baby dies.
" No, that no, that can't be real.
"No cops, no press.
" Gary, what is this? There's a video.
[SHOUTING.]
Oh, God! Oh! Oh, no, no, Gracie, my baby! That's my baby! No, no, no! [TENSE MUSIC.]
Kay, pull up in front.
Let the gate close before we get out.
You know I worked undercover, right? We have two hours to get on top of this.
Kidnappers gave them 24.
75% of abducted kids who don't make it are killed within the first three hours.
That email came in an hour ago.
The baby was grabbed outside.
House wasn't breached.
We can skip an ERT scrub.
Let's set up inside.
Any luck with the ransom email? Sent from the nanny's phone.
Traced to Queens, shut off right away.
No signal to track.
- What about the video? - We're analyzing it.
Senator Lynch, I'm the special agent in charge, Dana Mosier.
The Attorney General has been briefed.
I'll keep him updated.
My ASAC, Jubal Valentine, will coordinate the response from here.
Yeah, we got the NYPD and New York State Police setting up checkpoints, and we have agents going door to door in your neighborhood.
They said no cops.
So if they're watching, it's Uh, no, the agents are posing as Neighborhood Patrol looking into recent car thefts.
Agents Bell and Zidan will work the case from your home, but you have the full force of the Bureau looking for your daughter.
Thank you.
So in these cases, how often does, um Every one's different.
Mm-hmm.
Senator, can you show me where the security cameras are, please? Of course.
Why don't you cancel the senator's schedule for the rest of the day? Just say I'm not feeling well.
All right, but a few more questions.
If we say it's Mrs.
Lynch Just, uh, take care of it, okay? Other than the nanny, is there anyone else who's involved in your family's life? Well, I'm a public official.
But I like to keep my private life private.
So there's no one else who's around regularly? Knows your family, your home? Just Chris.
My Chief of Staff.
He didn't do this.
So who would? [GIGGLING.]
We just bought Gracie a big girl bed, so.
Can you tell me what happened? I don't know.
Uh, we got home.
And we went up to find Gracie and she was gone.
Do Elena and Gracie have a schedule? Walks the same time every day? It depends on Gracie's naps.
So besides Elena, no one else would have known when they were leaving? I know this looks bad.
But I can't imagine Elena would do this.
How much do you know about her? The nanny has no criminal record.
No debt, no problems with immigration.
She sends money home to her family in Colombia.
Our Bogota office into that? They're paying a visit now, but still.
Why ask for 100 million rather than, say, 1 million? Maybe someone in her life got mixed up with the cartels.
Massive ask is their style.
Spending two years taking care of that baby just to set this up? 99 times out of 100, kids are taken by someone they know.
And no one had better access.
Look, I don't want to be disrespectful.
Just ask what you have to ask.
Is there anything going on in your life that could cause problems? Such as? Gambling, debts, affairs? We don't have those kinds of issues.
Are you sure you'd know? My life with Gary is good.
His career, Gracie, it's all we wanted.
Oh, is that why you're you're talking to us separately.
We can cover more ground that way.
Hopefully get closer to a motive.
But isn't the motive money? They want the money.
But they also called your husband a liar.
That's personal.
Who would do that? I get called worse every day.
That's politics.
Have you received any threats? Sure.
Like every other senator.
But they get checked out.
Could this be from someone in your life before politics? Your business? Well, I sold my construction company when I decided to run for office, so Construction's a rough industry.
You mean corrupt? I'm not making judgments.
Just looking for answers.
Any bad blood with you and former partners, competitors, fired employees? From six years ago? You've moved on.
It does not mean everyone else has.
Agent Zidan, I I wish I could point at an enemy.
But I don't know who would do this.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, get whatever you can find on the senator.
He would have been well-vetted as a candidate.
But we can go back through every form he filed, to press coverage Also, check with the Public Integrity Section at Justice.
See if they've got any open investigations into the senator.
Can I go to Dana if I get pushback? You can go to anyone for any of this.
And pull in as many other analysts as you need.
We're on a clock.
What if we pay the money? FBI policy is not to advise people whether or not to pay ransom.
But what do you think? If you do, there's no guarantee that they'll return Gracie safely.
- But if you don't - There's no way we get her back.
We just can't predict what the kidnappers might do.
We'll pay.
Okay.
$100 million.
I'm assuming you'll have to liquidate some assets.
I can do it quickly.
I don't care how much it costs.
I just want Gracie back.
I pulled down and cleaned up the security footage.
It's ready.
It's it's better if we watch it first.
We've got this.
[WHIMPERING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
The Lynches had the yard covered from every angle.
The van blocks the exit and the visual from the street.
The kid and the nanny were grabbed fast.
These guys are not amateurs.
Did we get anything off the van? Plates were stolen.
Put out a BOLO on the van.
Whoa, can you rewind that back? As soon as the gate was open the van was in.
The kidnappers had to know exactly when the baby was going for a walk.
Except that Gracie doesn't have a set routine.
Canvas didn't ID anybody sitting outside of the house this morning.
The timing was perfect.
Same with the ransom email.
It hit right when the Lynches got into Gracie's room and saw that she was missing.
The kidnappers weren't watching the house from the outside; they were watching it from the inside.
So you can track all the signals going out of the house with this? Even you could do that part.
The trick is accessing the signal and reversing it so we can see what the kidnappers saw.
POV looks like it's from the wall opposite the door.
We have to assume they're still watching.
Okay, so how do we get in there without being seen? Can you knock the feed offline? - Your Wi-Fi ever go down? - Mm-hmm.
So does the Lynches'.
Camera jammer.
Don't move the camera.
I'll un-jam the signal when you're done.
You're on.
Make it quick.
1:00 pm.
Three hours in.
I know.
You got a gut feeling here? No.
When I was a cop in Indiana, I worked a kidnapping with the Bureau.
It's actually how I ended up here.
What happened? Well, we found the kidnappers in under six hours, but the kid was already dead before they even made the ransom demand.
The parents had no idea? None of us did.
Gut feelings don't matter here.
You can't speculate about the outcome.
Just work as fast as you can.
Maggie? There's a camera in the left eye.
Either of you recognize this? Uh, no.
But Gracie has so many toys in that room.
Could Elena have brought that in? How many other people have been in your house recently? We host a lot of political events.
Can you start making a list? - I can do that.
- Yeah.
Jubal, hey.
We found the kidnapper's van off the Henry Hudson, ERT's en route.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
We didn't touch anything, waited for you guys.
It's the nanny.
The senator's baby is still missing, we haven't heard from the kidnappers in five hours, and now the prime suspect's been murdered, too.
Are we thinking the nanny helped and outlived her usefulness? Haven't found anything to suggest it.
More likely collateral damage.
Soon as her name gets out there, it's just a matter of time before the press connects her to Lynch.
We told the police to hold off on the release, say they're looking for next of kin.
Tell them the AG will take a personal interest in this if it's leaked.
Coming from BAU, I figured you'd have some psychological trick to make people do what you want.
Sometimes a simple threat works better.
Hey, any red flags in the senator's past? Not that we found.
Public Integrity has no open investigations.
And if we start pressing his old associates without explaining why, it could look like the Bureau messing around in politics.
Not a fire I'm anxious to start.
So we have no leads? There is one.
I was digging around in some old press coverage.
Press coverage is the "Times" or the "Journal.
" Just because it's gossip doesn't mean it's not true.
Okay.
Uh, back when Lynch was just a rich guy being floated as a potential candidate, there was a blind item about someone who sounded like him being extorted by a hostess at a restaurant where he liked to hold court.
An affair.
Yeah, if you believe that trash.
We don't have to believe it.
We do have to ask about it.
Tell Maggie and OA to tread lightly.
Right.
Who is this woman to you? That was years ago.
I asked you about affairs.
You lied to me.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Who was she? Nicole Sousa.
Young, beautiful.
Nuts.
It was a short-lived mistake.
Have you seen her since? I hadn't seen her for years.
Until two weeks ago.
Then she showed up here.
How long was Nicole in the house? 20 minutes.
Max.
And nothing happened.
But she could have placed the camera.
No, I was with her the whole time.
Well, I did, uh, step away for a minute to take a phone call, an urgent one from Chris.
Then why did she come? She said she was sick.
She needed money again.
Same old story.
Did you give her any? No.
I didn't believe her.
You think she lied about being sick? I think she was drunk.
She was slurring.
I told her to leave.
And how did she react to that? She said I would pay.
But she didn't mean this.
Then what did she mean? If you are more concerned about protecting yourself No, that's not what this is.
She threatened you.
And you didn't tell us.
I love my wife.
Your daughter's life is on the line.
I know.
You need to tell us everything.
If I thought for a minute that Nicole would do something like this, - I would have told you.
- Mm-hmm.
She is crazy, but she is not a criminal.
- [BANGING DOOR.]
- Open up! What's going on? Nicole Sousa? FBI.
Get off of me! Leave me alone! What's that? Is that a baby? - Anyone else in the apartment? - No.
Put your guns down! It's just my kid in there! - Ma'am.
- No, it's my kid! He's just a kid! Leave him alone! - Please! - Ma'am, please.
Maggie? He looks just like the senator.
Hi.
Hi, sweetie.
Does Senator Lynch know? No.
Is that why you're here? Gary sent you? He said you threatened him.
I told him I'm sick.
And I need help.
You have ALS.
Slurring, drop foot, the IVs.
My grandfather had it.
So you know how it turns out.
How did you know Lynch would pay? Because he's done it before, when he broke it off to run for office.
Lynch gave you money? Can't get your hands dirty when you want to be a senator.
His friend Finn brought me the money.
Told me to shut the hell up.
What else you know about Finn? He was just a thug.
Like lots of the guys Gary brought to the restaurant.
Nicole's angry.
Yeah, well, you can't blame her.
I mean, she's raising a kid alone while she's sick.
Meanwhile the rich father is with his real family living the dream life.
Are you saying she's involved in the kidnapping? Just saying it's justifiable why she'd be angry.
But she never told Gary about the boy.
You can't blame him for something he didn't know about.
Well, he's gonna find out soon enough.
What, are you gonna tell him? No choice.
It's relevant to the case.
What about the wife? Ah, I love our job.
We're gonna talk to someone who pays off mistresses to see if he knows someone corrupt enough to kidnap a baby.
Yeah.
It's ironic.
I would say more like pathetic.
[SCOFFS.]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- Joe Finnegan? My assistant said the FBI was here.
I couldn't believe it.
So what do I owe the pleasure, 'cause, trust me, I pay all of my taxes.
Tell us about Gary Lynch.
More specifically, tell us about Nicole Sousa.
Who? The woman who was extorting him.
The one you paid off? Please.
Join me in my office.
Gary had a fling.
She was harassing him.
He asked me to take care of it.
So I met her at a restaurant.
I slip her a little cash.
It's as simple as that.
You and Nicole still in touch? No.
I haven't seen or talked to her since that day.
Do you know about any other women or men who have tried to blackmail Gary? Not that I know about.
But hey, I'm his friend, not his priest.
So there's no one you can think of that might want to hurt Gary? Why? What is this about? We're not gonna get into that.
We just need to know who his enemies are.
I don't know.
But hey, he was in construction a long time, and now he's in politics, so I'm sure there's a few people out there that don't love him.
It's the cost of doing business.
But as far as I'm concerned, he is a stand-up guy.
I've known him a long time, too.
We grew up two blocks apart.
He was always a scrapper.
And everybody knew that he was gonna make it big someday.
Hey, look If this is some political thing and you're expecting me to say something bad about Gary Lynch, then you came to the wrong place.
What is it? A reporter from "The Ledger" has been calling the Bureau asking about the Gary Lynch kidnapping case.
The kidnappers said no press.
They break the story, we're in trouble.
I know, so we have to make sure they don't run it.
Gretchen Madison? Can I help you? Special Agents Bell and Zidan.
FBI.
This must be serious.
So we hear you're investigating Senator Lynch.
You don't seriously think I'll let you go on some fishing expedition.
We're not fishing.
It's bigger than that.
- You haven't run it yet.
- We're fact-checking.
Trying to avoid that pesky "fake news" charge.
We'd like you to hold it.
Is the Bureau getting pressure to step on a story about a U.
S.
senator? Because I can write about that too.
That's not what this is.
And we can't get specific.
But you expect me to trust you.
We're just asking you to hold off printing anything about Lynch for one day.
And help you protect him? It's not him we're worried about.
I'll think about it.
[PHONE BUZZING.]
Jubal.
Hey.
Hey, the kidnappers reached out again.
Play the recording.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Go to Gantry State Park.
Instructions are near the playground under the last lounge chair.
Southwest corner.
Why didn't they give the instructions on the call? Probably wanted to put eyes on Lynch.
Make sure he didn't get us involved.
Car tech's still on the line.
Ian here.
I'm at the Lynch home with the senator and his wife.
Did you trace the call? Came from a burner, switched off.
Okay, can you strip the modulation off the recording? Unfortunately it wasn't modulated.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
The kidnapper used a computer voice.
So you can't trace the phone or the voice.
Looks like you're headed to the park.
We gotta go.
We're ready.
We need you to keep your cool.
Follow their instructions.
We'll be looking and listening to everything.
Yeah, all right.
This is how we get your daughter back.
Yes, thank you.
Thought you were gonna say something about the boy.
Well, the goal is to save their baby, not their marriage.
OA, everyone in place? We have the area blanketed.
Senator's headed for the chairs now.
[OMINOUS MUSIC.]
[CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
- Go to the other one! - Okay, okay! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
First chair is negative.
He's got something.
Can they see what he's looking at? Uh, Ian put a pinhole camera on Lynch's lapel, so they should be able to.
But we can't see it? We're not in range.
Won't transmit that far.
Hey, what's it say? "Convert the ransom to Bitcoin.
" Bitcoin is really hard to trace.
Oh, no.
What? We've got a problem.
Gretchen Madison just made the kidnapping public.
Gretchen Madison just made the kidnapping public.
She's put Gracie's life on the line for a story? Yeah, I'm pretty sure she doesn't care.
[PHONE RINGING.]
Hello? What's going on? [ROBOTIC VOICE.]
We said no press.
We have the money.
I'm gonna pay you.
Ian here.
I'm tracing the call now.
We'll have the location in 15 seconds.
[ROBOTIC VOICE.]
Say good-bye, Daddy.
- [BABY CRYING.]
- No! - Please don't do this! - [BABY WAILING.]
Please! Almost there.
Just a few more seconds.
Please don't do this! [BABY CRYING.]
No! - That was Gracie.
- Yeah.
That was her crying on the phone.
Are you sure? I know what my daughter sounds like.
The crying, that was proof of life.
They told her to say good-bye.
To scare you.
The story came out and it scared them.
If they were gonna kill Gracie, they would have already done it.
They want the money.
If they still believe they can get it, they'll keep her alive.
You gotta hang in there.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Do we have a problem, Agent Bell? You just gave them false hope.
Do you know that it's false? I know that the stats aren't in her favor.
And the odds get worse every hour.
And now that the whole country knows, if the kidnappers are smart, they'll disappear.
And so will Gracie.
If Gracie winds up dead, it's not gonna hurt less because her parents were expecting it.
Right now we need the Lynches' full cooperation and focus and in order for them to be able to do that, they need hope.
And so do you.
So the two of you spoke to the reporter who broke the kidnapping story? We did.
But we didn't tell her anything about Gracie.
And the girlfriend? We didn't tell her either.
So who knew about this who would leak it? West Point.
The Army.
The FBI.
I understand hierarchy and why you have to protect your boss.
Uh I made the list of people who came to the house.
I checked it with Mrs.
Lynch.
I didn't hide anything.
I'm not talking about the list, Chris.
I'm talking about Nicole Sousa.
Can you have a seat? That reporter called you for a comment on the senator's affair, right? You do know that lying to an FBI agent is a federal crime? Yeah.
I talked to her.
You did what any good staff guy would do and covered the boss's ass.
It was smart.
You squashed the story about the affair by giving her the kidnapping.
Turned the scoop from being one that would have been embarrassing into one that generates sympathy.
Look, I know it seems cynical, but Did you set this whole thing up? What? That reporter called you, told you about the affair, you needed a distraction.
[SCOFFS.]
So I kidnapped Gracie? You just admitted to having motive, and we know you had access.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I swear to you, this wasn't me.
Okay, check my phone.
Give me a lie detector.
Why don't you just answer our question? This is crazy.
You think that I killed Elena? And how would I even know how to arrange a kidnapping? I'm sure you know people who do.
Really? Like who? Senator Lynch's old friends.
The ones you got rid of when you cleaned him up to run.
Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't do anything.
He cleaned himself up.
You have to believe me.
No.
We don't.
Then ask the senator.
Are you buying this? That he set this all up just to win the election? You know what, it's not impossible.
He's been jerking us around all day so let's ask the question.
Let's flat-out accuse him and see how he reacts.
Where's Mrs.
Lynch? Resting in my office.
What is it? We know you paid off Nicole.
And you had somebody threaten her.
I gave her money because she was broke.
And I had a friend deliver it.
Finn? Yes.
And maybe he went a little overboard trying to protect me, but, you know, we've been close friends since we were kids.
You had to get rid of friends like him to run for office.
Maybe he didn't appreciate that.
He would never turn on me.
Finn didn't take my daughter.
Anyone else in your past who could've? See, he already asked me about my, uh, "my past" in construction.
Yeah, I also asked you about affairs, too.
Enough! [TENSE MUSIC.]
I grew up in Queens.
I made it building low-rent housing.
I've never run away from that.
It made me who I am.
But now Now I'm a U.
S.
senator and my daughter is missing and you are treating me like a suspect.
We're doing everything we can to get Gracie back.
Not fast enough! If you don't figure this out soon, they're gonna kill her! We'll give you a minute, Senator.
I don't like him.
Don't have to.
Just find his kid.
It'd be easier if he'd cooperate.
He's scared.
Either he doesn't see or doesn't want to see who might do this to him.
So if the victim won't help, what do we do? Go back to the evidence.
Forensics is still working every pixel of the ransom video.
No location evidence, but they did a manipulated magnify on the gun in the baby's lap, found a partial serial number.
One letter, three numbers.
Which leaves 6,760 possible combinations.
That's a lot of guns to track.
ATF's working now, but we were hoping you could help narrow the search.
Look at Queens, Lynch's hometown.
You really think one of his old friends is behind this.
He has a lot of skeletons.
And he hasn't been very forthcoming.
There's gotta be someone who knew him back then who can shed some light.
We should go back at Nicole.
If there's anyone who can look hard at his past, it's her.
Yeah.
I know you said not to speculate about Gracie.
You can't help yourself.
It's hard not to wonder if she's still alive.
Do you think we'll hear from the kidnappers again? I don't know.
Maybe Dana was right about them just wanting the money.
So you don't think it's false hope? I definitely think it's false hope.
[KNOCKING.]
The TV's on.
Maybe she's sleeping.
So knock harder or I'll just take down the door.
[KNOCKING.]
Miss Sousa? Special Agents Bell and Zidan.
Move.
Sorry to steal your moment.
Miss Sousa? We're coming in.
OA.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Oxycodone.
That's not for ALS.
Is she breathing? No pulse.
She's gone.
Where's Nathan? Nathan? Nathan? Come on, buddy, wake up.
Nathan? - Wake up.
- She crushed up pills and put it in his pudding.
He's still breathing.
341 West 50th.
We've got a five-year-old male, Oxycodone poisoning.
Still breathing.
Ambulance is on its way.
No time.
You carry Narcan? [GASPS.]
It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You're okay, Nathan.
You're okay.
Might be a little late now.
Found the owner of the gun.
Nicole Sousa.
All right, so Nicole is angry.
She's desperate.
She decides to kidnap Gracie, but the plan goes sideways.
Walls start closing in.
She starts to panic, then the guilt starts crushing her.
So she pumps her body full of pills, but she doesn't want Nathan to suffer so she tries to take him with her.
But she failed.
He's gonna be okay.
That all makes sense, but if she was the kidnapper, where the hell's Gracie? Nicole has to have a partner.
There's no way in her condition she's running around parks, leaving notes under benches.
asking for Bitcoins, no chance.
Guys.
ERT has a hit on the prints found in Nicole Sousa's apartment, belonging to Joseph Finnegan.
That's rich, considering he said he met her one time seven years ago at a restaurant.
The proportion of amino acids in relation to chlorides in this print suggest it was made within the last 24 hours.
Okay, let's go talk to our senator, see what he has to say about this.
What can you tell us about Joseph Finnegan? What does Joe have to do with this? We think he might have taken Gracie.
What? Why? I've known Joe my entire life.
Well, we're pretty sure he's involved.
Why would Joseph Finnegan call you a liar? [TENSE MUSIC.]
I don't know.
Think.
Did you promise him something? No.
No, the opposite.
A few months ago, Joe asked me to help him get the government contract to build the new courthouse in Kew Gardens.
Did you say you would? I told him there was no way.
My campaign, everything that I've done since has all been about ending these kinds of inside deals.
So what did Joseph say when you refused him? He made some joke about me forgetting where I came from and how I got here.
So he helped you.
In the beginning.
I had some issues with the unions.
He, uh, straightened them out.
Well, maybe he thinks it's time to pay the piper.
Look.
Joe came to me, I said no.
I told him I'd help with something else that was more above-board.
And did you? Has he been to your house recently? Um, last month.
Gracie's second birthday party.
Joe brought his granddaughter.
House is all clear.
Told you.
Where is Gracie? Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about.
Come on, Joseph.
You don't want to do this.
She's two years old.
You need to end this before someone else gets hurt.
Where's the baby, Joseph? You're making a mistake.
We have his prints at Nicole's apartment.
He has to be the partner.
Yeah, but was she really his partner? What do you mean? Well, if you why would you kill yourself before the payout? If you're gonna kidnap somebody, wouldn't you play it out? See if you could even pull it off first? Okay, maybe Finn knew that she was asking for money.
Maybe she actually reached out to him to speak to the senator.
He steals her gun, he puts it in the video.
And just figured that we'd jump on it sooner or later.
Well, here's what we do know about Finnegan.
He's broke.
His house, his business, his credit cards.
All upside down.
And his son, Sean, died in prison ten days ago.
I told you.
I got nothing to do with this.
Wrong.
You stole Nicole's gun.
You deflected attention and you set her up.
A single mother dying of ALS.
Real classy move, Finn.
Where is Gracie? The prosecutor's not going to be very kind to you if anything happens to her.
Tell me where she is.
No.
I am not talking.
OA.
You won't talk to us, fine.
Tell your old friend to his face that you don't care if his little girl dies.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Joe.
For God's sake, just tell us what's going on here.
I thought we were friends.
All I've ever tried to do is help you.
Really.
You tried to help me? You got a pair of balls, Gary.
What are you talking about? My son was struggling.
He got pinched on a drug charge and I reached out to you.
But you wouldn't take my call.
You had some idiot named Chris call me, and he said you didn't want to get involved.
You were worried about the elections.
And a few months later my child took his life in that cell.
I was loyal to you.
I made you a rich man.
And when I asked for one favor, one favor, - you wouldn't take my call! - Joe! I can't just tell a judge to give your son a free pass.
That's crap.
And you know it.
Joe.
I'm truly sorry about your son.
He was my friend.
But I'm begging you.
We're talking about my daughter.
Gracie.
She didn't have anything to do with this.
I'm begging you, please.
Please.
Just tell me where my daughter is.
Is she okay? Where is she? Where is she? [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
FBI! Let me see your hands! Gun! - Let me see your hands! - Get down on the ground! Get down! - [GRUNTS.]
- Get down! Hands, show me your hands! Cover! Where is she? [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[SOFT MUSIC.]
Gracie! [CRYING, LAUGHING.]
Hi.
Hi, honey.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, baby.
- Gracie looked okay.
- Yeah, she sure did.
Yeah, meanwhile, the nanny's dead, Nicole's dead, but the Lynches seem to be hanging in there.
Well, you'd be surprised what love makes you put up with.
I guess I owe you an apology.
For what? Gracie was fine.
The Lynches hung in there.
It wasn't false hope.
I could've just as easily been wrong.
I did the same thing once.
I was wrong.
- In Indiana.
- You know about that? You expressed some strong feelings earlier.
Figured there was something behind it.
I checked it out.
I told the kid's parents that we would find their son.
It would all be okay.
It wasn't.
You were able to give them a few hours of hope.
That's all.
Yeah.
Maggie That last kidnapping case you worked in Indiana didn't end so well.
This one did.
He's so silly, isn't he? Do you see his tongue? - [BABBLING.]
- I do, too.
Good night.
Oh, Agent Bell.
Thank you.
Yeah, you're welcome.
It was the whole team.
But I'm so grateful we found her.
The boy my husband's son, Nathan.
What happens to him? Well, he'll be put in protective custody until Social Services finds him a place to live.
Can I adopt him? [CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
- Yeah, I'm sure there's ways.
- Yeah? Oh, well [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
