FBI: Most Wanted (2020) s06e07 Episode Script
Highway to Hell
1
So we roll up on this foam party
at Club USA or no, was it Roxy?
Pablo was working the door,
so it had to be Limelight.
Pabz!
We must have put his kid
through college,
all the $100 handshakes
we handed this guy.
So so we get there,
and Rems is so wasted.
He's trying to swim through the foam.
I was wasted?
You and Sophie laid down in
the middle of the dance floor,
in case you forgot.
- Laid is right.
- Mm, no, I'm good.
Blake was a wild man, let me tell you.
He used to close down places,
like, every night.
It was not all fun and games, though.
I mean, we worked our asses off too.
In fact, this guy here
our boss, Stanley, he said
he was the best closer
- on Wall Street.
- Really?
No threats, no cajoling,
just straight Remy Scott charm.
I am not loaning you
any more money, Blake, so stop.
So I hear you're an FBI officer.
You ever get shot?
No, but I did get
my jaw bashed pretty good
a couple of months ago,
got a nasty case of tinnitus.
What's tinnitus?
It's what this music
gives you when you turn 30.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- No, he's just kidding.
He's just a vinyl snob, OK?
I actually really like your playlist.
- Mm, thank you.
- You're welcome.
Is there a bathroom I could use?
Oh, yeah, sure. Of course.
It's down this hallway.
And I'm sure the light's still on.
OK, promise, it's only number one.
Oh, OK. Thanks for sharing that.
- Number one.
- [LAUGHTER]
So Kyla, huh?
Got to love a girl
who brings her own speaker.
- Will you turn that off, please?
- Yeah, of course.
- I met her on Bumble.
- Bumble? You're kidding.
Yeah, don't knock it till you tried it.
You know, most people
think the dating apps,
they're just all about sex,
but there's a lot more to it.
There's no strings.
There's no attachments.
After 40 years of pain
and three divorces,
I finally feel free
in a way I never have before.
Good for you, bro.
Hey, how about you two?
How did you guys meet?
On Bumble.
[CHUCKLES]
Hilarious. You're funny.
- Hey, we're gonna need more of this.
- Definitely.
I mean, don't you two
have to work tomorrow?
No, no, no, no, no, he can handle this.
I saw him one time. He goes
from an all-nighter at the Aqua Club
straight to the trading floor.
In fact, you remember that
what was that company bonding
thing we did in Scottsdale?
Wait, what was that? I saw that!
- What was that?
- This is good.
This is really good.
- This is true.
- He's drunk.
- He's obviously drunk.
- No, this is true.
- Terrible.
- You know this is true.
I want to hear this, but hold on.
How long we gonna follow him?
As long as it takes.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
- What do we want with him?
- [CHUCKLES]
We're just gonna have
a little conversation.
That's it.
You want me to come in with you?
No. Park across the street.
Sit tight. Wait for me.
[SNORTS]
It's 10:00 in the morning, Vic.

♪
This Parma Blue came out beautifully.
It will really accentuate the
color tones of your living space.
I love it.
What do you think, honey?
Yeah, it's good.
Clark, please pay attention.
We've been waiting six months
for this rug to be custom-made.
I said I like it.
I really need to get to the office.
We can't buy new furniture
for the living room
until we decide a color palette.
Well, it looks like we already have.
Everybody stays nice and calm.
Give me your phones, all of you.
What the hell?
Anybody decides to make a scene,
I'm gonna have to make one too.
- It's OK. Just
- Go! Go!
Now, go! Move!
You had a busy morning.
Did you think that we wouldn't find out?
Did you think we wouldn't come for you?
It takes two to tango, so
someone must have helped you.
Who was it?
I don't know what you're talking about!
Archeron Equity!
The order was in your name.
Someone else signed off on it.
Who is it?
I don't know. I swear!
[GUNSHOT]
Oh, my God!
That jog your memory?
Don't hurt us. We'll cooperate.
Just tell him, Clark!
- I don't know anything!
- Last chance.
I need a name right now.
One, two
OK! OK!
Just don't shoot. Don't shoot.
♪
What happened?
Got what we came for.
Come on, drive.
Hurry up. Let's go!
♪
Please tell me that's for me.
Good morning to you too.
Oh, bless you.
[CHUCKLES]
I had an old Wall Street
buddy in town, late night.
[COUGHS]
- You're hungover.
- Mm.
Behold the glory.
Isobel said a triple homicide?
Yeah, man, we're back there.
[SIGHS]
What do we got?
Merritt Pasternak,
district attorney for Queens,
and her husband, Clark,
portfolio manager at a hedge fund.
Both shot at close range
in the back of the head,
execution style.
Security cameras
caught the killer walking in.
He locked the doors behind him,
shut off the lights,
and he brought them all back here.
[SIGHS]
Any facial rec?
Nah, negative. It was too dark.
Plus, the killer was wearing a bandanna.
- Who's the third victim?
- Store employee.
We're still working on an ID for her.
Looks like these two
were the real targets.
It does look that way.
I got a hit from the cams
across the street.
It shows a black Range Rover
with partial view
of the New Jersey plates
and not clear looks
on either of our unsubs.
- Unsubs, there's two?
- Yes.
When the shooter fled,
he jumped into the passenger seat,
which means there is
a second unsub driver.
The Pasternaks have
a teenage son named Zane.
The aunt just picked him up from school,
and they're headed here right now.
DA makes a lot of enemies.
Could be retaliation
for one of her cases.
Sounds like a good place to start.
Ray, Sheryll, head to the DA's office.
See if there's been any
recent threats against Merritt
or if she's in the middle
of an organized crime case.
Put a BOLO on that Range Rover.
And canvass for more street cams.
Nina and I will wait here for the boy.
I'm not looking forward to this.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I've never lost a colleague
like this before.
It's I can't believe someone
would do this to Merritt.
How long did you two work together?
We came up together.
When she made me her number two,
it was one of the proudest days
of my life.
She was a great woman.
Has this office received
any threats recently?
Anything that would put her
in more harm than usual?
Well, did she rattle
some dangerous cages?
Of course. That's the job.
We have a dozen open cases
against powerful people
and organizations.
Merritt was hard-nosed.
She went up against these cases
with no thought
for political repercussions
or potential dangers.
What about organized crime?
She led a case against Vito Barella,
head of the Barella family.
Got him and a few of his
lieutenants sent away for life.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
I've had my staff pull some files
from Merritt's most prominent
cases, past and present.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. We'll take a look.
We're gonna need more of your coffee.
Yep.
They said they're out front.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Oh, hi.
I want to see my parents.
Do we have to do this now?
Can I just have you
step right over here?
OK.
We just want to ask you
a few questions, OK?
I know this is really difficult.
I'm Special Agent Remy Scott.
My brother was also murdered, so I know
a little bit about
what you're going through.
We also know that your mom was a DA.
Was there anything
bothering her at work lately?
No, she she never talked
about that stuff.
She was more stressed out
by Dad's work, really.
Why is that?
He would take
business calls at all hours.
And Mom finally had
to institute a house rule.
OK, what was that?
Everyone's phones were off and put away
during designated family times.
But that didn't even matter,
because people
started showing up
at the house out of the blue.
Has that happened recently?
Just last night.
One of Dad's clients
I think his name was Jeff
barged in at, like, 9:00.
Did you happen to catch his last name?
No.
OK, did he say what he wanted?
He needed Dad to do something
and it couldn't wait until the morning.
We were watching
the newest "Godzilla" movie.
Mom was really annoyed.
We only watch
those stupid monster movies
because Dad likes them.
He liked them.
♪
Zane, thank you so much
for talking with us.
Really appreciate it.
Just wait out front, OK? Thanks.

[TOUCH TONES BEEPING]
[LINE TRILLING]
Hey.
Hana, what's the name of the company
that Clark Pasternak worked for?
Ballack Capital.
Their offices are in downtown Brooklyn.
All right, Nina and I
are gonna go talk with them.
OK, so what are we thinking,
this has more to do with
Clark's work than the wife's?
My dad and I used to work in finance.
You have a client
showing up at your house
late on a Sunday night,
something's hit the fan.
♪
Clark said that he
authorized it himself.
Showed up at his house last night,
said it had to be done immediately.
I'm just telling you what he told me.
I was surprised too.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, I hear you.
We'll pay that son of a bitch
a visit now.
Vic, what is going on?
- We got a traitor.
- A traitor?
You mean someone's talking to the cops?
Is that what this morning was all about?
You ask a lot of questions.
♪
It's too many questions.
So what do we do?
Make a house call.
That's what we do.
♪
I tried to tell him.
I said, Clark, don't do this.
It's gonna be a bloodbath.
- Sorry, poor choice of words.
- Mm.
Just tell them what happened.
Clark called me last night
at 10:30 and told me
to liquidate the account
of his biggest client
as soon as pre-trading
started this morning.
And what's the name of the client?
Archeron Equity.
They invested $15 million
with us back in April.
$15 million?
Fire selling at that volume,
they'd be getting rock-bottom prices.
That's what I told Clark.
The client's gonna lose their shirt
pulling out of the market like that.
Not to mention the penalty
Ballack would charge
for liquidating before
the holding period was done.
Clark said the client was adamant.
Had to happen immediately.
OK, so how much did they lose?
Roughly $3 million on the sale.
That's a hell of a price
to pay for expediency.
Yeah, and a big hit for Ballack, too,
I mean, losing a client
that size overnight.
We are more
than strong enough to withstand
the loss of their capital.
Thank God the hedge fund will survive.
Clark spoke to someone
named Jeff last night.
Any idea who that'd be?
Jeff Scholes, probably.
He's the CFO of Archeron Equity.
And he'd approve any transactions
related to the assets here at Ballack?
Yeah.
In fact, he's the only guy
we ever deal with.
He's the only person
at the company you talk to?
And that didn't raise
any red flags for you?
Ballack Capital performs
all required due diligence
on any potential investor
before accepting their funds.
I'm sure you do.
So why was the liquidation so urgent?
Jeff goes to Clark's house
on a Sunday night,
and he was willing to lose $3 million
just to make sure
it got done immediately.
Sounds like we need
to talk to Jeff Scholes.
All right, here.
His house is in Brooklyn.
Ray and Barnes are closer.
I'll have them see if anyone's home.
♪
There, 556. That's Jeff's place.
Who's Jeff?
He's an old friend
of the boss, works for us,
or so we thought.
Back in.

Hey, guys, the victim
is Jeff's wife, Linda Scholes.
The back door was open when we arrived,
but nothing seems
out of place or stolen.
They must have been looking for Jeff.
Either he wasn't here,
or they took him with.
Excuse me!
I need to talk to someone.
No, no, no, no, ma'am.
This is an active crime scene.
- You can't be in here.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
My name is Pam, and I live next door.
I was walking my dog earlier,
and I saw a black car outside.
- Was it a Range Rover?
- Yes.
I didn't think anything of it,
but then I heard a loud pop.
Then I saw a man running to the car
and another one behind the wheel.
Can you describe them?
I'll do you one better.
I took their picture.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
No Jeff.
May I?
♪
All right. Thank you, ma'am.
I knew something was off.
And then all you police showed up.
We're still investigating.
But if we need any more information,
we'll be in touch, OK?
Can you take her details?
Ray, we got a hit on facial rec
on our killer: Vic Kolchin, 43.
He's got a rap sheet with a
list of violent crime arrests:
assault, assault with a deadly weapon,
battery, battery and assault.
He can add first-degree
murder to his bingo card.
Well, he's associated with
a motorcycle gang in Queens,
the Exiles.
All right, so what about the driver?
Greg Ashton, grand theft auto and B&E.
He's also associated with the Exiles.
I'm gonna call Remy and let him know.
He's gonna want to talk
to Organized Crime.
Yeah.
All right, so what the hell
is a biker gang from Queens
doing mixed up with Wall Street brokers?
And how the hell does Jeff
fit into all of this?
The Exiles were founded by
Ned Turley in Queens in 2003.
They started by running
protection rackets along I-95.
Eventually, Ned decided
they could run their own game.
So they started trafficking
themselves
drugs, guns, women.
How big is their territory?
These days, they've got
a near monopoly in New York.
They pushed out the other biker
gangs, especially along 95.
And they've expanded
into Jersey and Pennsylvania.
- And where is Ned now?
- In hiding.
He hasn't been seen publicly
in nearly three years.
I sent you some of the last
photos we have of him.
Our Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit
has been building a RICO case
against the Exiles.
But they need Ned,
as the head of the enterprise,
to take the entire gang down.
Tracking down people
who don't want to be found
is our specialty, Agent Cole.
If you find him, we'd love to be there
when you bring the son of a bitch in.
You bet your ass.
Ray, can you full-screen
that picture right there?
- Yeah, yeah, that one.
- All right.
Wait a second. That's Jeff Scholes.
All right, so Ned and Jeff
know each other.
Yeah, what's the connection they have?
I've been doing some digging,
and get this.
Archeron Equity, the company
that Jeff is CFO of,
is a holding company.
Its subsidiaries
are online gambling sites,
laundromats,
strip clubs, and a bike shop.
All right, so all businesses used,
for money-laundering fronts.
That's the connection.
The Exiles are using Archeron Equity
as a shell corporation
to hold all their clean money.
Jeff is the face of their legit side.
Wait a second, so if Jeff
is a part of the Exiles,
then why are they after him?
I mean, it's got to be the
withdrawal from Ballack, right?
It wasn't authorized.
I mean, stealing $15 million
from a gang is a hell of a risk.
I spoke to White Collar Crime
and had them trace the money
after it was liquidated from Ballack.
Now, they said that it was
wired to an offshore account
in the Caymans, immediately
converted into crypto,
and uploaded to a local wallet,
which means that Jeff is
on the run with a thumb drive
with $12 million
in clean, untraceable cash.
Yeah, and he has Ned, Vic,
and a very angry biker gang on his tail.
So if we find him,
we find Vic and Ashton.
Hana, can you pull up
the IP address of the device
where the crypto was downloaded?
- On it.
- Ray, Nina,
track the last knowns of Vic and Ash.
- See what's up.
- Yep.
OK, IP address belongs
to a garage in Queens.
On paper, it's owned by Archeron Equity.
Barnes, with me.
Hana, keep combing the files
that Agent Cole sent over.

FBI!

- Hey.
- You work here?
Yeah, I'm Jake. What's going on?
We're looking for this guy.
Have you seen him?
♪
Don't know him.
OK.
What about this guy?
Nope.
What about Jeff Scholes?
According to the deed, he's
the one who owns this place.
Never heard of him.
We know Jeff was here this morning.
We traced the IP address
of his laptop to this shop.
OK, well, no one was here
when I showed up.
These symbols on the wall,
they're for the Exiles motorcycle club.
Do you know anything about those?
Nope.
Anything you do know, ese?

he's been giving me evidence
about the Exiles'
money-laundering operations.

Jeff stole $12 million
from the club this morning,
converted it into crypto,

Archeron Equity.
They invested $15 million
with us back in April.
$15 million?
Fire selling at that volume,
they'd be getting rock-bottom prices.
That's what I told Clark.
The client's gonna lose their shirt
pulling out of the market like that.
Not to mention the penalty
Ballack would charge
for liquidating before
the holding period was done.
Clark said the client was adamant.
Had to happen immediately.
OK, so how much did they lose?
Roughly $3 million on the sale.
That's a hell of a price
to pay for expediency.

But if we need any more information,

Ray, we got a hit on facial rec
on our killer: Vic Kolchin, 43.
He's got a rap sheet with a
list of violent crime arrests:
assault, assault with a deadly weapon,
battery, battery and assault.
He can add first-degree
murder to his bingo card.
Well, he's associated with
a motorcycle gang in Queens,
the Exiles.
All right, so what about the driver?
Greg Ashton, grand theft auto and B&E.
He's also associated with the Exiles.
I'm gonna call Remy and let him know.
He's gonna want to talk
to Organized Crime.
Yeah.
All right, so what the hell
is a biker gang from Queens
doing mixed up with Wall Street brokers?
And how the hell does Jeff
fit into all of this?
The Exiles were founded by
Ned Turley in Queens in 2003.
They started by running
protection rackets along I-95.
Eventually, Ned decided
they could run their own game.
So they started trafficking
themselves
drugs, guns, women.
How big is their territory?
These days, they've got
a near monopoly in New York.
They pushed out the other biker
gangs, especially along 95.
And they've expanded
into Jersey and Pennsylvania.
- And where is Ned now?
- In hiding.
He hasn't been seen publicly
in nearly three years.
I sent you some of the last
photos we have of him.
Our Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit
has been building a RICO case
against the Exiles.
But they need Ned,
as the head of the enterprise,
to take the entire gang down.
Tracking down people
who don't want to be found
is our specialty, Agent Cole.
If you find him, we'd love to be there
when you bring the son of a bitch in.
You bet your ass.
Ray, can you full-screen
that picture right there?
- Yeah, yeah, that one.
- All right.
Wait a second. That's Jeff Scholes.
All right, so Ned and Jeff
know each other.
Yeah, what's the connection they have?
I've been doing some digging,
and get this.
Archeron Equity, the company
that Jeff is CFO of,
is a holding company.
Its subsidiaries
are online gambling sites,
laundromats,
strip clubs, and a bike shop.
All right, so all businesses used,
for money-laundering fronts.
That's the connection.
The Exiles are using Archeron Equity
as a shell corporation
to hold all their clean money.
Jeff is the face of their legit side.
Wait a second, so if Jeff
is a part of the Exiles,
then why are they after him?
I mean, it's got to be the
withdrawal from Ballack, right?
It wasn't authorized.
I mean, stealing $15 million
from a gang is a hell of a risk.
I spoke to White Collar Crime
and had them trace the money
after it was liquidated from Ballack.
Now, they said that it was
wired to an offshore account
in the Caymans, immediately
converted into crypto,
and uploaded to a local wallet,
which means that Jeff is
on the run with a thumb drive
with $12 million
in clean, untraceable cash.
Yeah, and he has Ned, Vic,
and a very angry biker gang on his tail.
So if we find him,
we find Vic and Ashton.
